Chapter 795: The Situation Is Getting More Interesting
Editor: Henyee Translations
Although they had not interacted much with the Huo Family, the business world was like a battlefield. The Jiang Family had once competed with the Huo Corporation a few times.
Therefore, Jiang Wenxu had some understanding of Huo Yichen’s methods. Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan had obviously returned with an impure motive, Jiang Wenxu immediately decided not to get involved in this mess.
After pulling his Little Sister out of the event location and returning to the car after walking a distance, Jiang Wenxu, who had been silent, slowly spoke. His tone was still a little warning and worried.
“Don’t interact too much with Huo Xiuyuan in the future.
Huo Xiuyuan was a hot potato.
No matter what, with the Jiang family’s current status, they shouldn’t participate in this matter, lest they were dragged into the water. No matter how great the benefits were, Jiang Wenxu cleariy knew what to touch and what not to touch.
Jiang Weiyang lowered her eyes and replied obediently, “I understand,
Brother.”
Seeing his Little Sister agree obediently, Jiang Wenxu’s originally tense expression immediately relaxed a lot, and his body relaxed.
Jiang Weiyang didn’t say anything after agreeing, and Jiang Wenxu had been thinking about something. After a long silence, he realized that his tone towards his Little Sister seemed to be too serious just now, so he couldn’t help but soften his attitude.
“It’s for your own good.”
He turned the steering wheel with his left hand. “I hope you won’t participate
in the Huo family’s matter again.”
“Don’t even get involved with Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
It was not that Jiang Weiyang didn’t know that his Little Sister always had a naughty and troublesome personality. Sometimes, she would even tease people.
If this was any other time, he would definitely not interfere. His attitude could even be said to be indulgent.
However, it also depended on who she was teasing. If she really provoked the Huo Family or the Murong Family, Jiang Wenxu wouldn’t be able to hold her back.
“Brother—I know what to do.” Jiang Weiyang pretended to be sensible and took the initiative to respond to him.
Seeing his Little Sister like this, Jiang Wenxu was also a little relieved. He immediately felt that his Little Sister had grown up and didn’t emphasize it anymore.
Little did he know that Jiang Weiyang only felt that Jiang Wenxu’s repeated words were realty a little annoying, causing her to gradually become impatient.
After being forcefully picked up by her Big Brother, Jiang Weiyang, who had left the banquet, suddenly realized that she had forgotten to tell Sofia before she left. Hence, she hurriedly took out her phone and looked at the messages. As expected, she realized that the other party had sent her a few messages more than ten minutes ago.
[I left for a while and couldn’t find you.]
[Did you go somewhere else at the banquet? If you see this, remember to send
me an address.]
[I asked the others. I think they said that your brother picked you up?]
[Remember to send me a message when you’re home.]
Several messages would be sent over every few minutes. From the content and tone, it was obvious that Sofia was worried about Jiang Weiyang.
Seeing that the other party cared about her so much, Jiang Weiyang was even more touched. Hence, she hurriedly typed a reply, indicating that she was fine.
[It’s good that you’re fine.]
Sofia quickly replied and seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sofia’s reaction, Jiang Weiyang immediately felt apologetic. Thinking about how she didn’t remember to tell Sofia before she left just now, she immediately felt a lot of guilt.
She instinctively wanted to make it up to the other party, so she typed and asked, [I’m sorry, I forgot. There’s an exhibition in two days. Do you want to go together?]
This message was sent to the other party and there was no reply for a few minutes.
Jiang Weiyang thought that her actions had made the other party unhappy, so she sent a few more messages.
However, she didn’t know that the truth was completely different from what she had imagined. At this moment, Sofia, who was sitting peacefully in the presidential suite, was drinking red wine leisurely. She was sitting on the balcony and enjoying the evening breeze.
If not for the cell phone in front of her and the chat interface between her and Jiang Weiyang, no one would have associated the person who was worried about Jiang Weiyang with Sofia, who didn’t care about her at all.
After Sophia slowly took a sip of red wine and waited for a while, she picked up her phone and saw that Jiang Weiyang had sent her a few messages. She laughed as if she’d expected it. Then, she replied with a voice message.
“Alright, I don’t blame you at all. I just didn’t look at my cell phone just now.”
“You invited me to an exhibition, so I’ll definitely go.
She casually agreed to the other party’s invitation. Then, in a good mood, she recalled the scene she had just seen.
Actually, when Jiang Wenxu came to bring his Little Sister home just now, Sofia was standing not far away and saw the interaction of the three of them clearly.
First, Jiang Weiyang went to interact with Huo Xiuyuan. The moment she saw Huo Xiuyuan’s face, Sofia felt a sense of resemblance. Then, she recalled Huo Yichen and slowly overlapped their faces. She already had some guesses.
However, in Sofia’s opinion, Huo Xiuyuan’s face was much worse than Huo Yichen’s.
Among the two of them, one was like the sky and the other was like the dirt. One was like a snow lotus of the Heavenly Mountain, his pure whiteness made her like it and she wanted to pick it and take it for herself. The other was like ugly and disgusting mud, emitting a smell that made one want to vomit. One had to admit that sometimes, Sofia’s gaze was so accurate that it made one’s heart turn cold.
Then, she saw Jiang Wenxu, whose eyes were filled with his Little Sister, and his actions of protecting his Little Sister and not letting her interact too much with Huo Xiuyuan.
This scene was really interesting, and Sofia couldn’t help but take a few more glances. However, after observing for a while, Sofia knew in her heart that Jiang Wenxu was definitely not an existence she could use.
He was a smart man and could also realize what a trap was. Unless it was necessary or forced, the other party would never take half a step in.
“What a pity.” Sofia sighed softly.
Thinking of the plans and arrangements she was about to make, she sighed regretfully.
She originally wanted to make the situation more interesting, but from the looks of it, the effect seemed to be reduced.
Sofia thought of her subsequent arrangements and tapped her fingertips on the table rhythmically, making an imperceptible sound. Just like how her thoughts flowed through her mind steadily and rhythmically, she outlined the entire plan.
On the same night, there were people eating dinner happily in pairs. Some were happy, guilty, or relaxed. At the same time, there were also people who were burning with anger and suspicion.
It was already 10:30 pm. Even though many employees who stayed in the company to work overtime were already packing up and preparing to go home, there was still a light on in an office in the Finance Department. Clearly, someone was inside.
Huo Qiuguang’s expression was very ugly. He sat on a chair with his cell phone raised in his right hand, as if he was on the phone with someone.
“Yes… yes… I’m sorry, I’ll definitely handle this matter seriously.”
“It will never happen again.”
“Believe me, this is the last time!”
The cell phone’s voice was not on speaker mode, so they couldn’t hear what the other party was saying. The office was so quiet that they could only hear Huo Qiuguang’s repeated guarantees, as well as his sincere and humble tone and attitude..
