Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Quan Jue looked at Huo Chongjin coldly.
Under the young man’s gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty.
“You’re really good at hiding things. Why didn’t you tell me that you have such a powerful girlfriend?” Huo Chongjin had seen many storms in his life, so even if he was feeling awkward and panicky, he could still maintain his composure.
Moreover, he needed Quan Jue’s help now.
“Why should I tell you my private matters?” Quan Jue’s att.i.tude remained cold.
Huo Chongjin could clearly feel that Quan Jue’s att.i.tude towards him had changed.
Previously, Quan Jue had been relatively cold towards him, but it wasn’t like now, where he treated him like a stranger.
.
The feeling Quan Jue gave him now was that he wanted to keep him a thousand miles away.
“We’re business partners, aren’t we?” Huo Chongjin smiled faintly. “Come to think of it, I’m about the same age as your father. It’s not a loss for you to call me Uncle Huo. As an elder, there’s no problem with caring for a junior like you.”
Quan Jue lazily raised an eyebrow. “So? President Huo, just say what you want to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Huo Chongjin felt that Quan Jue’s gaze seemed to be able to see through him, but he still had to say it. What if it worked?
“Xiao Jue, Uncle Huo does have a favor to ask of you,” Huo Chongjin said to him with a serious expression.
Quan Jue looked at him coldly and said nothing, as if he was waiting for him to continue.
Huo Chongjin felt uncomfortable all over being stared at by Quan Jue the whole time. He turned his head to the side and refused to look at him as he continued, “My father was paralyzed from the lower half of his body due to a car accident previously, so I would like to ask Miss Chi to help us. Please help our family’s Old Master and see if he still has the hope of standing up.”
Hearing this, Quan Jue suddenly smiled.
Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell how mocking his smile was.
Huo Chongjin’s face burned.
He knew that he was being a little shameful.
But he had no choice.
His old master had been bedridden for a year. Now, he was completely worn down and lacked his usual energy.
If this continued, he might really die.
Therefore, he thought that it would be better to invite Chi Jiao to take a look at his father.
What if she could cure his old master?
“President Huo, why didn’t you ask Jiaojiao directly?” Quan Jue asked with a sarcastic smile.
Huo Chongjin was instantly speechless.
He wanted to ask Chi Jiao personally, but his daughter was constantly at odds with Chi Jiao earlier.
How could he open his mouth?
It was also because he couldn’t ask Chi Jiao that he came to discuss it with Quan Jue instead.
He felt that the young lady liked Quan Jue a lot and would probably listen to him.
After a moment of silence, Huo Chongjin slowly said, “Name your condition. As long as Chi Jiao can help our Old Master stand up again, I won’t reject any condition you set, as long as I can fulfill it.”
“There’s no need, President Huo. I was just about to tell you that our collaboration ends here,” Quan Jue said indifferently.
