Chapter 45: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 45: The Grass on the Top of Huo Xingjian's Head Begins to Sprout
In the conference room, the attendees were all stunned as they watched Shen Cheng and Huo Yushu walk in with Huo Xingjian.
What is going on here? Why is Mr. Huo bringing his wife and sister to the meeting?
And wait, weren’t they saying that Huo Xingjian and Mrs. Howere having marital problems? Didn’t they say Mr. Huo was going to divorce her? Didn’t the Huo family dislike Mrs. Huo?
Does this look like a couple with marital issues? Doesn’t it look like a strained relationship between a sister-in-law and a wife?
Huo Yushu was very affectionate as she held her sister-in-law's arm, almost as if she were afraid someone would try to take her place. It looked more like they had a sisterly bond rather than a tense relationship between in-laws!
“Why are you all staring at me?” Huo Xingjian glanced around coldly. “You’re here for a meeting, not to stand around in a daze!”
Everyone quickly snapped back to attention and turned their eyes to their tablets or laptops.
Zhang Hui came in and leaned over to Huo Xingjian’s ear, whispering, “Mr. Huo , Miss Li has been settled in your office for rest.”
[Ah, this is great! The grass on Huo Xingjian’s head is starting to sprout.]
Huo Xingjian: “…”
He really wanted to shut Shen Cheng up right then and there.
No! What he wanted to do was remove her head from her body. No, he wanted to shake all the useless thoughts out of her head.
He had a clear relationship with Li Qingxue, there was nothing between them, so why couldn’t she believe it? Why did she keep trying to push Li Qingxue toward him?

[This isn’t good! It’s not in my plan for divorce!]
[What I should be doing is fostering the affair between Huo Xingjian and Li Qingxue, not accelerating the feelings between the main characters.]
[Dog system, come out!]
Dog system: What now?
[What can I do to break up the main couple?]
[What?! There’s no way to break them up! They’re fated to be together! Don’t you dare speak to me like that! Do I look like I believe in fate right now?]
[Fine, if I can’t break them up, then can I speed up my divorce with Huo Xingjian?]
[What?! I have to do it myself? What the hell do I need you for then?]
Shen Cheng was furious. What kind of stupid system was this?
Sitting at the head of the table, Huo Xingjian had a faint, almost imperceptible smile at the corner of his lips.
Good!
If he couldn’t break up Li Qingxue and Huo Xingjian, and if Shen Cheng wanted to smear him with rumors of an affair, that would never happen.
As for her wanting a divorce, that was impossible.
Seeing the subtle smile on Huo Xingjian’s face, all the participants in the meeting were even more shocked.
This… is the Huo Xingjian they knew? He’s actually smiling?
“Mr. Huo …” the finance director hesitantly handed over a stack of documents. “These are the financial reports for this month.”
[The finance director must be feeling a little nervous... Haha…]
Shen Cheng glanced at the finance director, and she couldn’t help but chuckle in her head, nearly bursting with laughter. But she kept her face perfectly composed, only leaning her head into her hands as if she were exhausted.
Huo Yushu mirrored her, resting her face in her hands, also feigning a tired look, though her ears were perked, listening intently.
Go on, sister-in-law! Keep talking! Don’t just laugh—this is getting creepy!
Huo Xingjian lowered his head to review the financial reports, his expression cold and serious, while also "listening" to Shen Cheng's thoughts.
[This is Huo Yunshan's man! Huo Xingjian doesn’t even know that his most trusted finance director was the first person to be bought off by Huo Yunshan and Huo Xinglang.]
[It makes sense though—his own father, whom he trusted and respected the most, wasn’t on his side either. All they cared about was getting Wen Family’s money. How could he have suspected that Guan Songyang, who had worked with him for so many years, was secretly working for Huo Xinglang?]
[Over the years, Guan Songyang has used his position as finance director, and Huo Xingjian’s trust in him, to line his own pockets!]
[Moreover, regarding Wen Company’s financial accounts, he followed Huo Yunshan and Huo Xinglang’s instructions to falsify the books.]
[Soon, Wen Company will be caught for tax evasion, which will be a major blow to Huo Xingjian. Not only will they face fines, but Wen Company’s stock will also plummet.]
Huo Xingjian: “…”
Good! Very good!
Huo Yunshan, Huo Xinglang! You really are something!
Since you have no loyalty to the father-son bond, don’t blame me for not caring about it either.
[Ah, so Guan Songyang is one of the female lead Li Qingxue’s lackeys! No wonder he betrayed Huo Xingjian to work for Huo Xinglang.]
[After all, he’s been a classmate of Huo Xingjian’s since high school, and Huo Xingjian was the one who helped him rise through the ranks.]
[If not for Huo Xingjian, he would still be stuck in some small company, earning a salary of only a few thousand a month. How could he have become the high-paid corporate white collar he is now, with a salary in the millions?]
[Ah! Why are there so many ungrateful people? But who can blame Huo Xingjian for failing to recognize people’s true nature?]
“Get the financial reports for the past three years organized by quarter and sent to Zhang Hui’s email before tomorrow,” Huo Xingjian casually tossed the report in his hand. “This report is void.”
Guan Songyang looked stunned. “Three years? Before tomorrow?”
“Is there a problem?” Huo Xingjian gave him a cold, piercing look.
“No problem! We’ll finish it on time,” Guan Songyang replied, his voice resolute.
[Three years of reports? Huo Xingjian is really good at focusing on the key points! Right, Guan Songyang betrayed him three years ago.]
[He fell in love with Li Qingxue at first sight, and Huo Xinglang inadvertently found out about it. Then, he had his mother, Yu Fengcai, get close to Guan Songyang’s mother.]
[Countless promises and temptations followed. That old woman was already someone who could be bought with money, so of course she agreed.]
[Huo Xinglang also had Li Qingxue deliberately approach Guan Songyang, giving him just the slightest hope.]
[Men are so pathetic! Just like Huo Xingjian, always so foolish when it comes to Li Qingxue. The moment anything related to her happens, his brain turns into mush.]
[He even believes that Li Qingxue’s incident two years ago was all Huo Xingjian’s fault.]
[It’s true! He married me, yet kept an ambiguous relationship with Li Qingxue. To Guan Songyang, this man is nothing but a scumbag who plays both sides.]
[So, in order to get back at Huo Xingjian for Li Qingxue, he completely sold him out.]
Very good! Very good!
Huo Xingjian was furious listening to this, and if he didn’t want to alert the enemy, he would have dealt with Guan Songyang right then and there.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
Of course, Huo Yushu had the same idea.
The siblings exchanged a glance and turned their attention to Zhang Hui, who was sitting beside them.
Could he also be involved? Could he have been bought off by Huo Xinglang too?
After all, if Guan Songyang could be bribed…
“Huo … Mr. Huo ? Is there something wrong with me?” Zhang Hui trembled under their gaze.
[Poor Zhang Hui!]
