Chapter 720: How Can There Be So Many Accidents?
A subtle silence spread throughout the hall. Even Uncle Zhang, who had been standing guard at the side, could not help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
After the initial shock, Su Yayan quickly calmed down. Her eyes were slightly cold as she frowned and said, “Are you talking about Chenhuan’s parents? Didn’t Chenhuan’s parents die because of an accident back then?”
Huo Shaofeng sneered and said sarcastically, “How can there be so many accidents in this world?”
Even Su Yayan, who was as calm as she was, felt her heart beat faster when she heard his words.
“You mean, Chenhuan’s parents didn’t die because of an accident. They were harmed by someone? Who was it?”
Huo Shaofeng looked up at Su Yayan and chuckled. “Are you trying to take advantage of me? Do you think I’m that stupid?”
Su Yayan thought to herself, “In my heart, you’re really that stupid.”
However, she only replied, “How do I know if what you’re saying is true or not?”
“Whether it’s true or not, it’s up to you to investigate. Do I think you’ll believe me just because I said it? I’ve already shown my utmost sincerity. Now, it’s your turn.”
Huo Shaofeng’s att.i.tude was very clear. This was his trump card. Now, he was waiting for them to tell him what their bet was.
Since they were both on guard against each other, then it would depend on whose trump card was more valuable and who could help whom to the extent.
Su Yayan obviously could not promise him too much just from hearing such a thing.
But if she really refused, what if Huo Shaofeng really knew something…
“I can’t make this decision alone. I’ll tell Chenhuan when he comes back. I’ll give you an answer then.”
Su Yayan did not reject him on the spot. This was already a good result for Huo Shaofeng.
However, when he heard her words, he could not help but say out of habit, “Didn’t you say that he dotes on you? Why do you need to ask him when you don’t even have the right to make such a small decision?”
“Watch your words. I have to ask him if he wants to cooperate with you or not, but I don’t have to ask him if I want to reject you on the spot.” Su Yayan glared coldly at Huo Shaofeng and warned him, “Don’t forget who’s asking who for the favor now. Uncle Zhang, send the guest out!”
Huo Shaofeng was infuriated by Su Yayan’s att.i.tude. He did not even need Uncle Zhang and the others to politely chase him away. He turned around and left.
However, after he walked out of the Huo residence, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused and turned around to take a deep look at the house. Many emotions flashed across his eyes.
In the end, he did not say anything and left quickly.
When Huo Chenhuan found out that Huo Shaofeng had run to the house to look for his wife, he rushed home as fast as he could.
Su Yayan was not surprised at Huo Chenhuan’s early return. She smiled faintly and said, “The boss took the lead to fish and skip work. What if the subordinates learn from him?”
“They wouldn’t dare.”
Huo Chenhuan sized Su Yayan up and down. After making sure that she and the baby were fine, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Even if you don’t dare to, you can’t bring this bad luck with you. I’ll punish you to make dumplings with the chef at home tonight and bring them to the company tomorrow to apologize to the employees you stood them up.”
“Okay.” Huo Chenhuan agreed without thinking. He reached out and pulled Su Yayan into his arms. He sighed and said, “I was worried when I heard that Huo Shaofeng came to look for you.”
“What are you worried about? There are so many people at home. What else can he do to me? or…” Su Yayan looked up at Huo Chenhuan and chuckled. “Are you jealous that I’m meeting him alone?”
