Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Liu Ying Falls Face First
Xu Ying felt bewildered as she looked at Mrs. Wu and spoke indifferently, “Our store was opened together with our factory, and all its affairs are managed by the factory side. I can’t make decisions on that.”
“This is your investnt too, why can’t you make decisions? Are you unwilling to help your grandmother? You really are petty,” Mrs. Wu said irritably.
Huo Chen, sitting there, swept a fierce glance over, startling Mrs. Wu significantly.
She had often heard from her daughter about the matters of the Zhou Family’s grandson and was aware that Huo Chen had grown up amongst wolves. Now, seeing his wolf-like deanor, she couldn’t help but shiver in fear.
She turned and ran away as if fleeing.
The Wu family’s eldest son arrived at the location with his wife at noon, bringing along his daughter and son.
When Wu inan saw his niece Liu Ying, he imdiately pulled her aside and said, “See? That’s Huo Chen. So young and already owns several stores. It’s just a pity he’s married, otherwise, he’d be perfect for you.”
Liu Ying was the daughter of the Wu family’s eldest son and took on her mother’s surna.
Mrs. Liu, hearing her sister-in-law’s words, was sowhat tempted, yet she still advised, “inan, since he already has a wife, why ntion him to my daughter? My daughter doesn’t want a married man; isn’t that just becoming the other woman?”
Wu inan ignored her, instead pulling her niece aside.
Liu Ying herself did not wish to be soone’s affair. Even with all the wealth, she couldn’t ruin soone else’s family.
But ever since a brief encounter, having witnessed Huo Chen’s looks, she couldn’t get him out of her mind.
She glanced at Huo Chen and shyly looked down. Wu inan saw this and burst into laughter, turning to her niece, “A man as outstanding as him, no matter how many tis he’s been married, as long as you can win him over, it’s our skill. Don’t you want to live in a big city like Shanghai? Shanghai is so much better than your little county. Young people there spend their ti touring scenic spots, watching movies…”
“In your small county, you might find soone with a job earning just a few tens of yuan a month, and that would be your life. But Huo Chen makes thousands, even tens of thousands a month. If you could really marry him, you wouldn’t have to do anything or work; you could just travel and spend money every day,” Wu inan said.
Were it not for his daughter being too closely related to Huo Chen, she would have wanted her daughter to marry him.
Hearing her aunt’s words, Liu Ying beca even more tempted, a shy hint of emotion in her voice, “Even if I’m willing, he might not want to be with . I’ve seen Xu Ying; she’s so beautiful and capable.”
Wu inan laughed upon hearing this, “You’re also not bad-looking, and you haven’t even had children, you’re many tis better than Xu Ying. n change their hearts easily; he’s been with Xu Ying for so long, he must be tired of her by now. With a girl as beautiful as a flower like you in front of him, he’s sure to be tempted.”
Mrs. Liu naturally also heard Wu inan’s words. Initially, she was completely against it, but hearing about the salary making nearly ten thousand a month, Mrs. Liu beca tempted.
That was way too wealthy; earning nearly ten thousand a month, whereas she and her husband together made less than 200. There was no comparison.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by that?
Looking at Huo Chen in the distance, Mrs. Liu felt as if she was looking at the God of Wealth.
“inan, do you think this will work? Is he really that wealthy?”
“Why would I lie to you? He spent over three hundred thousand opening that rural tourism spot in the village.”
“Which store doesn’t make tens of thousands of yuan? I heard they opened several,” Wu inan said.
Liu Ying’s excitent grew as she listened, and she beca even more eager to marry Huo Chen.
She had been keeping an eye on Huo Chen, and when she saw him stand up and leave, Liu Ying quickly followed.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Huo Chen there. Liu Ying cried out in shock and started to fall towards him.
Huo Chen was startled by her cry and turned his head to see a bulk hurtling towards him. He hastily stepped back several paces.
With a loud “thud,” Liu Ying ended up face-down on the ground, eating a mouthful of dirt.
She spat several tis and, with a face full of disarray, looked up at Huo Chen, extrely annoyed. Despite his good looks, why couldn’t he be more gallant?
Liu Ying stretched out her hand, looking painfully at Huo Chen, “Can you help up? I’ve hurt my leg and can’t stand up.”
Huo Chen glanced at Liu Ying and then yelled into the hall, “Yingying, co out here, there’s a girl who’s fallen. Help her up.
As a man, it’s not appropriate for to do it.”
Hearing this, Liu Ying’s face turned positively green with rage.
Xu Ying hadn’t co over yet, but Liu Ying struggled up from the ground by herself.
Seeing Liu Ying on the ground, Xu Ying covered her mouth and exclaid, “How could you be so careless? You’re not a child anymore to fall on such a flat surface.
Be more careful next ti, to avoid hurting yourself unnecessarily,” Xu Ying said, her words caring but her eyes filled with laughter.
Liu Ying felt like her intentions were seen through. She got up from the ground and, with an embarrassed glance at Xu Ying, turned around and quickly ran back.
Wu inan saw her return in disarray, full of surprise, “What happened to you? Don’t tell Huo Chen bullied you!” she said, excitent coloring her final words.
She was about to confront Huo Chen.
Liu Ying, humiliated, held back Wu inan, “Little aunt, this has nothing to do with anyone else; I just fell by accident.”
Wu inan looked at her disdainfully, “You’re an adult; how can you still fall while walking.
What are those big eyes for if you’re not going to use them?”
Liu Ying was further hurt by this comnt and clenched her fists, holding back her anger without a word.
After Liu Ying had left, Huo Chen couldn’t help chuckling, “Didn’t expect my charm to be so great that another woman would throw herself at ?”
Huo Chen shook his head, “It also depends on whether I like it.
If anyone throws themselves at , I only want my wife.”
He then playfully kissed Xu Ying on the cheek. Since they had co to Shanghai, Huo Chen planned to take care of so family matters.
He and Xu Ying didn’t return to the wedding banquet but instead drove to Zhang Yanlin’s house.
Now that Qu Huimin had been discharged from the hospital after her miscarriage, and Sun Yan was also getting a divorce and hadn’t gone back to her own ho, she was living at Zhang Yanlin’s.
When they arrived, Sun Yan had just stepped out to buy groceries, leaving only Qu Huimin lying in bed recuperating.
The sound of Huo Chen and Xu Ying entering made Qu Huimin think her mother had co back.
She imdiately got out of bed and stepped into the yard, “Mom.”
But when she looked up and saw Huo Chen and Xu Ying, her face instantly beca wary, “What are you doing here?
I’m married to Zhang Yanlin now, and half of this house is mine. You can’t kick out.”
