Chapter 253 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 4
Xue Ling was filled with excitement. This was truly remarkable! This was the first thing Huo Chen had said to her since she had been here.
Although it's only two words, it represents a significant improvement.
After the initial excitement subsided, she remembered that Huo Chen and Xie Mingxiao didn't get along very well.
Xie Mingxiao was determined to form a marriage alliance with the Xu family and coveted the Xu Group. Huo Chen, who was personally trained by Xu Wei, was an obstacle to him.
As for Huo Chen, the Xu Group is already his, so why should Xie Mingxiao be punished for daring to covet what's his?
After thinking it through, Xue Ling didn't continue the topic. Instead, she glanced at the cigarette in his hand and said with concern, "Smoking is bad for your health."
Although he looks really charming when he smokes!
Huo Chen ignored her completely once again.
Xue Ling couldn't help but feel a little discouraged; this villainous boss's temper was truly unpredictable.
Just as she was thinking about what topic to use to pique Huo Chen's interest, Huo Chen suddenly turned around and went downstairs.
Xue Ling had finally seized an opportunity to get close to him, and naturally she wasn't willing to give it up so easily. She quickly chased after him, calling out, "Huo Chen..."
Huo Chen had long legs and wasn't walking in a hurry, but Xue Ling had to try her best to keep up.
When she caught up with Huo Chen at the corner downstairs, Huo Chen was instructing the butler, "Don't leave any unauthorized people upstairs. Miss hates it when others touch her things."
The butler nodded, his gaze toward Xue Ling scrutinizing her.
Faced with the butler's suspicious gaze, Xue Ling was both angry and annoyed. Who would want to touch Xu Yunqing's things!
Huo Chen is really going too far!
After Huo Chen finished giving his instructions, he was about to head towards the garden when he saw Yun Qing storm in, still holding the bouquet of roses that had been fanned by Xie Mingxiao.
Xie Mingxiao chased after her, apologizing, "Yunqing, don't be angry. Don't you like bags? I'll buy you one, okay?"
Yun Qing turned around abruptly to look at him, and sneered, "Young Master Xie is really generous! Do you think I can't afford it?"
"No... I just wanted to make you happy."
Yun Qing glanced at him, raised an eyebrow and said, "If you curl up into a ball and get out of here, I can be happy all day."
Seeing that Yun Qing was so unyielding, Xie Mingxiao became somewhat annoyed.
This young lady may have been arrogant before, but she had never shown him such disrespect.
On the surface, it seems like he's the one pursuing her, but anyone with eyes can see that Xu Yunqing likes him and can't live without him.
He didn't need to put in much effort; a little coaxing was enough to make her happy.
He had done similar things before, so he didn't understand why it wasn't working today.
It's just a few roses, isn't it? Is it worth Xu Yunqing making such a fuss over? Does Miss Xu lack those few flowers?
Although he was annoyed by Yun Qing's unreasonable behavior, he still had to suppress his anger and coax her back.
If a woman isn't going to be gentle, then be assertive and tough, and you'll naturally make her melt like a lump of spring water.
Thinking it over, he took two steps forward, reached his hand towards Yun Qing's lower back, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Before he could even wrap his arms around her waist, his wrist snapped and dislocated, causing him to nearly cry out in pain.
After realizing what Xie Mingxiao was about to do, Yun Qing quickly backed away until she bumped into Huo Chen's arms and stopped.
Xie Mingxiao clutched his wrist, his eyes flashing with malice as he looked at Huo Chen. When he saw Huo Chen's hand resting on Yun Qing's waist, he instantly became wary.
Huo Chen was someone Xu Wei personally trained and trusted deeply. If Xu Yunqing hadn't been so averse to Huo Chen, Xu Wei might have even wanted Huo Chen to be his son-in-law.
Although Xie Mingxiao was somewhat wary of Huo Chen, he didn't take him too seriously.
Xu Yunqing's affection for him was his greatest source of confidence, and in that respect, Huo Chen lost.
Even if Xu Wei trusts him, he can only be an outsider, and an outsider that Xu Yunqing despises.
But seeing the two acting so intimately, Xie Mingxiao couldn't help but suspect that Huo Chen might be plotting against Xu Yunqing.
He even suspected that Huo Chen was behind Xu Yunqing's change in attitude towards him.
It seems he needs to put more effort into winning over Xu Yunqing.
As he was thinking, Yun Qing, burning with anger, took two steps forward, grabbed the roses in her hand, and started slapping him across the face.
"Xie Mingxiao, how dare you act like a hooligan in my Xu family! Who gave you the guts!"
Xie Mingxiao instinctively raised his good hand to cover his face, but after being slapped several times, he remembered to run away.
Unable to hit anyone and still furious, Yun Qing shouted with a stern face, "Huo Chen, beat him up!"
Huo Chen stepped forward, stretched out his leg, and Xie Mingxiao fell to the ground with a "thud".
After being kicked a few times by Huo Chen, Xie Mingxiao's face turned pale and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Xue Ling had been hiding, afraid of provoking Xie Mingxiao, the male protagonist in the book, but seeing this situation, she couldn't help but run out to stop it, "Huo Chen, stop fighting, people will die!"
She didn't want Huo Chen to be arrested and imprisoned!
Seeing that she was affecting Huo Chen's performance, Yun Qing walked over, grabbed her arm, and shoved her away, saying, "Get out of the way, don't get in my way!"
Xue Ling said angrily, "Xu Yunqing, that's enough! Isn't it enough that you usually bully Huo Chen? Now you want to make him a murderer?"
Yun Qing looked at her like she was an idiot, "What's wrong with you? I only asked Huo Chen to beat him up, I didn't ask Huo Chen to kill him."
"But if you keep beating him, he'll die!"
Yun Qing took a closer look. Huo Chen still appeared calm, but he was quite ruthless, which was partly due to personal grudges.
However, she wasn't in a hurry at all. "He won't die. Huo Chen is experienced; he won't kill him."
Xue Ling's eyes widened in surprise. Experienced?
"Do you often let Huo Chen beat people like this?"
Yun Qing's anger had subsided considerably, and she glanced at her indifferently, saying, "I was referring to my experience of getting beaten up."
Xue Ling was so angry she almost fell over. How dare she say that besides her, who else could make Huo Chen get beaten up!
Thinking of how badly Huo Chen had been beaten, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Xie Mingxiao was in so much pain that his vision blurred and his ears were ringing. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he remembered Xue Ling's distressed look.
Then Yun Qing finally spoke up: "Huo Chen, that's enough."
Huo Chen glanced down at Xie Mingxiao, who looked like a dead dog, and finally stopped kicking.
Xie Mingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but felt pain all over his body. He tried to look up at Xue Ling, wanting to remember this kind girl who had saved him.
Then he thought viciously, he would get his revenge sooner or later!
Also, he will need to have bodyguards with him from now on.
After Yun Qing had Xie Mingxiao thrown out, she started to dislike Huo Chen again.
She flung the roses in her hand toward his feet and said fiercely, "I want to see my roses back to normal before dark!"
Xue Ling thought she was simply unreasonable. Huo Chen hadn't picked the flowers, yet she was taking her anger out on him!
She stepped forward, wanting to stand up for him.
Huo Chen glanced at the bodyguard standing next to him, and before Xue Ling could say anything, she was dragged out by the bodyguard.
Yun Qing ignored Xue Ling, glared at Huo Chen, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Huo Chen shifted his foot and unfortunately stepped on the ravaged bouquet of roses. He lowered his eyes and calmly said, "No problem."
