Chapter 191 - Something To Tell You
Chen Xiaotian said nothing and looked at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye roughly explained what had happened today.
Of course, he was smart enough to avoid the main point.
For example, he did not mention that Huo Siyu was very skilled. He only said that Huo Siyu had some skills and that their people did not hurt her.
Furthermore, he didn"t say that it was Yan Jinyu who asked for w.a.n.g Quan"s hand as an explanation and compensation for the psychological damage. He only said that those were their sincerity in apologizing.
"You"re saying that you took a fancy to my sister and her friend when you went to settle your conflict with the Xiang Family"s daughter?" Huo Xuan said slowly, but when he said this, he looked sinister and cold.
In short, Chen Ye felt inexplicably afraid.
In comparison, Chen Xiaotian was much better.
"It"s not my brother who has designs on her. It"s someone else under me. However, my brother also said that Miss Huo has some skills and my brother stopped him in time. A huge mistake was averted."
"There"s also one more thing that Young Master Huo seems to have neglected. There"s something fishy when my brother said that he suddenly knew that the daughter of the Xiang Family would appear there. It"s as if someone deliberately sent the news to him."
"Shouldn"t Young Master Huo investigate this matter properly? Perhaps someone is deliberately targeting Miss Huo and Miss Yan."
"Boss Chen, you don"t have to worry about that. You should think about how to explain this to me."
"Fortunately, my sister is fine. Otherwise…"
Looking at Yan Jinyu, who had come over with Huo Siyu and sat down beside her, Huo Xuan said, "Oh, it"s fortunate that Eldest Miss Yan is fine. Otherwise, with Yin Jiujin"s temper, I"m afraid you won"t be able to answer to him, Boss Chen."
At the mention of Yin Jiujin, even Chen Xiaotian, who had been very calm, froze.
Especially when he knew Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao"s relations.h.i.+p.
Offending Yin Jiujin wasn"t just offending him alone. Qin Hao might even come knocking on his door.
Qin Hao had been trying to catch him.
To make things worse, one of them was Yin Jiujin"s fiancée, while the other was Qin Hao"s fiancée.
That wasn"t even the most important thing. The most important thing was that Yan Jinyu was his savior!
One hand?
He wished he could kill w.a.n.g Quan.
Not to mention that the other party was his life savior, just based on the other party"s backing and her own ability, if he really offended her, Chen Xiaotian would probably be implicated and finished too.
"That"s also why we brothers specially came to the Huo Family."
"w.a.n.g Quan has been under me for many years. He didn"t cause any irreversible consequences. I"ll compensate you with one of his hands and send him out of South City forever. Other than that, I"ll also compensate Miss Huo and Miss Yan 50 million dollars for psychological damage each. Young Master Huo, what do you think about this explanation?"
50 million each?
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Huo Siyu.
He was quite generous.
Huo Xuan saw their interaction and his eyes darkened, "What do Rainy and Eldest Miss Yan think?"
Chen Xiaotian had w.a.n.g Quan under him. w.a.n.g Quan was not a kind person, but he could not do anything to Rainy with a few people…
"Brother, let"s leave it at that. We weren"t injured in the first place. Let"s just treat it as a form of good karma. Everyone is living in South City and we see each other often. It"s not good for everyone to become enemies."
When Huo Xuan looked at Yan Jinyu, Huo Siyu quickly said, "Beauty Yu also means that."
Huo Xuan looked at her deeply.
Why did he have the feeling that Rainy didn"t want him to interact with Yan Jinyu?
"Since you don"t have any objections, let"s leave it at that."
After saying that, Huo Xuan looked at Chen Xiaotian. He didn"t say anything, but it was obvious that he wanted to send him off.
n.o.body didn"t know if Chen Xiaotian understood what Huo Xuan meant, so he only said, "After I change careers, I have some businesses that are related to the Yan Corporation. I wonder if I can borrow the Huo Family"s place to speak to Eldest Miss Yan alone?"
He was asking Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan looked at him and then at Yan Jinyu.
His gaze was unfathomable.
"Of course."
"It"s cold outside. There"s a guest room I used for a video conference. We can go there."
"I"ll accompany Beauty Yu," Huo Siyu said.
Then, the Chen brothers, Yan Jinyu, and Huo Siyu stood up and walked to the guest room on the first floor of the Huo Family"s main building.
After the four of them left, there were still four others sitting in the living room.
Huo Lin looked at Huo Sisi, "Sisi, do you have anything to say?"
"W-What should I say? Brother Chen… Didn"t Chen Ye say everything just now? Dad, w-what else do you want to know? Ask away. I won"t hide what I know from you."
"When you left in the morning, your mother and I told you to bring Rainy and Jinyu back the way you brought them out. However, you left them behind and came back first after what happened. Yes, you did go to see your friends, but since you brought Rainy and Jinyu out to play, why did you call those hedonistic sons?"
"It"s fine if you"re friends with those hedonistic sons, but your mother and I won"t ask too much either. After all, you"re not only friends with those hedonistic sons. You can get to know all kinds of people. It"s also a good thing to have a lot of friends, as long as you don"t learn from them."
"Rainy didn"t grow up in the Huo Family. Her thoughts aren"t as sensitive as yours. If she makes a bad friend, it"s hard to guarantee that she won"t be affected by the other party."
"Besides, from what you"re saying, that friend of yours almost b.u.mped into Jinyu when she was skiing. Jinyu dodged it and that"s why he was injured."
Huo Sisi didn"t hide this matter.
There were so many people who had witnessed that scene at the ski park. They could find out with a little inquiry. If she hid it from them, she would leave a handle to them.
"If anything happens to Jinyu, how are you, or even the Huo Family going to answer to Master Nine?"
Hearing this, Huo Xuan"s lips twitched.
Even his father called Master Nine. Seriously…
However, it was undeniable that his father was right.
If anything really happened to Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin would definitely not let it go easily.
However, Yan Jinyu was obviously not so easily harmed.
It was this feeling of Yin Jiujin being above him that made him feel very uncomfortable.
His father called him Master Nine, so what should he call him then?
Tsk!
"I"m sorry, Daddy. It was indeed my mistake this time. Fortunately, Miss Yan is fine. Otherwise, I really can"t forgive myself…"
"Then, what did Boss Chen mean by those words just now? Could it be that someone really told Chen Ye that Xiang Jie was with you and would appear at the ski resort at that time?" Sun Xiangxiang also suspected Huo Sisi.
Huo Sisi"s heart skipped a beat. "Mom, I really don"t know about that."
"Mom, do you think I did this?"
"In Mom"s opinion, am I that stupid? I"m with Rainy. If I deliberately revealed Xiang Jie"s information to Chen Ye, Xiang Jie and I are friends. Am I not in more danger than Rainy and the rest?"
"There are countless girls who have been destroyed by people like Chen Ye and w.a.n.g Quan. Even if I wanted to scheme against someone, I wouldn"t have to sacrifice myself."
"Why are you reacting so strongly? Did someone say that you did this?" Huo Xuan interrupted her calmly.
Huo Sisi was shocked. Her reaction just now was indeed a little too big.
She was also…
If they hadn"t changed their att.i.tude towards her so drastically, she wouldn"t have lost control of her emotions.
"I…"
"Or do you think that others don"t know that w.a.n.g Quan is interested in you?"
Huo Sisi"s expression changed drastically.
"It"s best if I don"t find out that you"re involved in this." After saying that, Huo Xuan got up and went upstairs.
Huo Sisi was left sitting there with a pale face.
Huo Lin looked at Huo Sisi with a deep gaze before getting up and going upstairs too.
As soon as he left, Sun Xiangxiang left too. She went to the kitchen to check on the servants" dinner progress.
She ignored Huo Sisi and couldn"t be bothered to talk to her.
Huo Sisi, who was completely isolated, clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
This situation could not continue!
With Huo Siyu"s skills, she couldn"t act rashly for the time being. And Yan Jinyu actually had a relations.h.i.+p with Chen Xiaotian. Since her background was unknown, she couldn"t act rashly for the time being.
Since she could not touch them now, she would not move for the time being.
If this went on, there would be no place for her in the Huo Family.
Perhaps, she should take a risk.
***
In the Huo Family"s guest room.
As soon as he entered and closed the door, Chen Xiaotian bowed 90 degrees to Yan Jinyu.
Chen Ye was slightly stunned before he also bowed.
"Miss Yan, I don"t know your ident.i.ty, so I"ve never been able to express my grat.i.tude to you. If you hadn"t saved me three years ago, I"m afraid I would have died in a foreign land."
Yan Jinyu didn"t avoid his bow and just looked at him. "At that time, I only heard you speak Chinese and found out that you"re Chinese too. It was simply convenient."
At that time, she happened to "wander" to Country M and came out for a walk at night. As she walked, she walked into the dark alley and encountered an a.s.sa.s.sination.
She didn"t want to interfere, but she heard Chen Xiaotian say in Chinese, "Am I going to die here today?" so she saved him.
After that, she had never wanted him to return the favor but Chen Xiaotian said that he owed her a favor. If she needed help with something, she could come to South City to look for him.
Chen Xiaotian was considered a big shot, especially since he was in South City.
Huo Siyu wanted to return to the Huo Family. Yan Jinyu had investigated the Huo Family and also investigated some influential figures in South City. Naturally, she had heard of the name Chen Xiaotian.
At that time, she was still a little surprised. She had never thought of asking him for a favor, but after he told her who he was, she said that she would look for him if she needed anything. It was considered as agreeing to accept his favor.
The reason why she agreed was because she thought that Huo Siyu was in South City and might need someone to help her resolve any trouble at some time.
"No matter what, it"s a fact that Miss Yan saved my life."
"Sit down and talk." Huo Siyu sat down first.
Chen Xiaotian looked at Huo Siyu.
Since Yan Jinyu had agreed for her to follow them in and had seen Yan Jinyu make a move, Chen Xiaotian, who had roughly guessed Yan Jinyu"s ident.i.ty, had a rough guess about Huo Siyu"s ident.i.ty.
However, he did not expose her.
After Yan Jinyu sat down, he walked over and sat down too.
Yan Jinyu glanced at the guest room and looked at Huo Siyu, "Little Rain."
Huo Siyu understood what she meant with one look.
She nodded and stood up. She found something to block the camera in the guest room.
The guest room wasn"t a private s.p.a.ce and was also a place Huo Xuan often used to attend video conferences. There were many doc.u.ments in there so it was normal for there to be cameras.
Huo Siyu also knew that Huo Xuan wouldn"t look at it, but it was just a precaution.
As for when they first entered, it was because they did not expect Chen Xiaotian to bow so straightforwardly.
It was just a bow, and they couldn"t hear anything. Even if someone saw the surveillance video here, they wouldn"t make a connection to anything.
After Huo Siyu covered the camera and sat down, Yan Jinyu looked at Chen Xiaotian. "What"s the matter? Speak."
Chen Xiaotian was surprised, "How did Miss Yan know…"
He simply remembered her ident.i.ty and understood.
He had almost forgotten that Miss Yan was very likely to be the number one on the a.s.sa.s.sin Ranking…
How could she not have any perception when she could reach that position?
"That"s right. I didn"t simply visit the Huo Family today to meet Miss Yan and apologize for w.a.n.g Quan"s rudeness today. Most importantly, I have something to tell you."
"I wanted to tell you about this a long time ago, but I didn"t know your ident.i.ty or where you were, so I couldn"t tell you."
"For Boss Chen to visit the Huo Family so late at night to see Beauty Yu, it must be something important."
Chen Xiaotian looked at Huo Siyu when he heard that, "I wouldn"t dare to let you call me Boss Chen. Miss Huo, just call me by my name." He didn"t dare to let her call him Boss Chen because even Huo Xuan called him by his name.
Chen Xiaotian was not someone without any ability. The reason why he was so polite to Yan Jinyu was because he had guessed Yan Jinyu"s ident.i.ty, but more importantly, Yan Jinyu had saved his life.
He was polite to Yan Jinyu. Knowing that Huo Siyu was someone Yan Jinyu trusted, he was naturally more polite to Huo Siyu too.
"What"s the matter, Mr. Chen? Please say it." Yan Jinyu was still smiling, and her tone was no different from usual.
It was impossible to tell if she wanted to know or not.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaotian exclaimed in his heart again. As expected of the number one killer, "Chi", who was very likely to become famous at the age of 10. Her ability to hide her emotions was admirable.
"I wonder if Miss Yan has heard that I have many businesses in Country Y and have interacted with many families in Country Y?"
