Chapter 46: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 46: Li Qingxue Shifts Her Target
Pitiful?
What does that mean?
Why is she pitiful? Is it because she also has a problem?
Huo Xingjian felt as if he was on edge, his heart tightly wound, waiting for Shen Cheng’s next words.
[This bastard, Huo Xingjian, has really run out of luck! He has such a loyal subordinate like Zhang Hui working for him.]
Whew!
The brother and sister let out a long breath.
Finally, they no longer had to carry this heavy weight in their hearts.
Recently, he had made Zhang Hui do a lot of things.
Before this, there were no cameras installed in his office.
Just a moment ago, when he agreed to let Li Qingxue go upstairs and enter his office, he had sent a message to Zhang Hui, asking him to place a miniature hidden camera in the office.
And there was the matter of him having Zhang Hui investigate Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue’s relationship.
Thankfully, thankfully! Zhang Hui had no ill intentions toward him.
[Zhang Hui was the second person to discover the relationship between Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue. The first was his grandfather, who was drowned in a cesspit by them.]

[The second was Zhang Hui. When he found out about Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue’s relationship, he had warned Huo Xingjian.]
[Unfortunately, Huo Xingjian, being the late-stage love-struck fool that he is, didn’t believe it. After all, Huo Xinglang was like a confidant brother to him. How could he possibly compete with him for a girlfriend?]
[Zhang Hui was also a smart person. Seeing that Huo Xingjian didn’t believe him, he stopped supporting the idea. Unfortunately, Huo Xinglang still found out.]
[Then, he manipulated Huo Xingjian, using an excuse to send Zhang Hui to inspect a construction site. That same day, Zhang Hui was crushed into a pulp by a bundle of steel rods that fell from the site.]
[From that point on, Huo Xingjian never had a subordinate as loyal as Zhang Hui again.]
Huo Xingjian and Huo Yushu were covered in cold sweat.
They never expected that Zhang Hui had met such a tragic end.
Huo Xingjian’s hands clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, his eyes filled with cold, dark menace. He looked like a ghost from hell.
“Mr. Huo?” Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Zhang Hui carefully called out again.
Huo Xingjian snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said in a low voice, “After the meeting, assist the finance department with the sorting.”
“Yes, sir.”

Office
Li Qingxue had found an excuse to send Li An’an away.
In the vast office, only Li Qingxue remained.
She slowly stood up from her wheelchair, pacing and examining the office.
Although Huo Xingjian’s office was simple and plain in decoration, it exuded luxury in every corner.
Every item on the shelves was valuable.
The bookshelf was filled with books related to economics and finance.
Her gaze fell on the computer on the desk, and Huo Xinglang’s words echoed in her mind.
“You know, Wen’s is Xingjian’s. Although I share the Huo surname, and Wen family’s grandfather treats me like his own grandson, at the end of the day, I’m only a cousin to Xingjian.”
“Xingjian’s feelings for you are obvious to everyone. My uncle and aunt, and grandfather Wen, have done a lot for our family. I can’t fight him for anything.”
“The company belongs to Xingjian, so naturally, you belong to him as well. Qingxue, I’m not qualified, nor do I have the ability to love you. I’m just Xingjian’s aide, his right hand.”
“Xingjian and Shen Cheng’s marriage is without feelings. They will divorce sooner or later. One day, you will be Mrs. Huo.”
“So, Qingxue, stop liking me. Xingjian is the one who truly deserves your love. I’ll bless you both. Our relationship is only that of friends, and in the future, it will be that of aunt and niece.”
Before today, Li Qingxue could never accept this.
She loved Huo Xinglang deeply, more than anything. She didn’t want any other man but him.
Even though they had broken up, she was still willing to wait for him, still loving him.
She believed that one day, she would win him back with her love.
So, she intentionally got close to Huo Xingjian, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with him, and even staged a scene where she got injured and fell into a coma for him.
Everything had been going according to her plan.
How had it changed so suddenly?
Shen Cheng was no longer mindlessly fawning over Huo Xingjian, and Huo Xingjian was no longer disgusted or rejecting her.
Even Huo Yushu, that fool, no longer hated Shen Cheng. She had even become one of Shen Cheng’s fans.
This made Li Qingxue uneasy. All these people who were supposed to be focused on her were now focusing on Shen Cheng instead!
Why had they suddenly abandoned her?
She had originally planned to use both the “heartfelt sacrifice” and “beauty trap” to help Huo Xinglang defeat Huo Xingjian and take control of Wen Company, so she could naturally become the lady of Wen Company.
But just now, when she heard Huo Xingjian say that he no longer cared about her, she had completely panicked.
How could that be?
If Huo Xingjian didn’t care about her, did that mean everything she had done, all her efforts, would have been for nothing?
As Huo Yushu had said, she didn’t have a prestigious background, a high level of education, or the beauty to compete with Shen Cheng.
What did she have to compare to Shen Cheng?
She didn’t want to be pushed back to the same old life, the one where she felt like an insignificant ant.
She wanted to be the high and mighty CEO’s wife, the elegant lady of the rich. She wanted to make everyone envy and admire her.
Since Huo Xingjian was already the top man in Tong City, why should she go after someone else? Why work so hard to help Huo Xinglang? Wouldn’t it be easier to choose Huo Xingjian directly?
Yes!
Why hadn’t she realized this before? Why had she been so obsessed with Huo Xinglang’s love?
Clearly, Huo Xingjian loved her more, and if she held on to his love firmly, she would be the winner in life.
In that moment, it was as if something clicked for Li Qingxue, and she was fully awakened.
Her goal was to reach the peak of life. If there was a shortcut, why bother with the thorny, winding path?
With this thought, a satisfied, shallow smile appeared on her lips.
Shen Cheng, just wait! I’ll make you understand what it means to lose everything.
These past couple of days, you’ve stolen Huo Xingjian’s attention, but soon enough, it will return to me.
As long as I want, all I have to do is give Huo Xingjian a slight gesture, and he’ll abandon you and choose me.
Just wait to be discarded! Of course, I won’t let you take a single penny from Huo Xingjian. You’ll leave with nothing! Huo Xingjian, his family, and all of Wen Company—everything will be mine!
She walked over to Huo Xingjian’s genuine leather chair and sat down leisurely.
Click!
The door to the office opened, and someone stepped in.
Li Qingxue was startled and immediately stood up, her face filled with fear as she looked at the door.
