Chapter 280 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 31

Xu Wei glanced at Huo Chen and said, "Now you know why I'm training you, and why I'm not relying on her at all, right?"

Huo Chen: ...

Although the young lady doesn't seem to be very bright, Mr. Xu, you've made it so obvious, she'll definitely get angry.

Besides, isn't being silly cute?

Huo Chen, while thinking to himself, asked without changing his expression, "Why?"

Xu Wei: ? ? ?

Yun Qing immediately lost her temper. "Old man, what do you mean? Am I wrong? I knew you'd always thought I was stupid!"

"All you do is praise Huo Chen for being smart and capable. So what if he's smart? No matter how smart he is, I still managed to bring him home!"

"But I'm still better! You don't even praise me, and you're even making snide remarks!"

"Does your mom know how much you despise me? I'll definitely have a good talk with her next time. I'm like a blade of grass, a child without a mother!"

Yun Qing rattled off a string of words, her tone fierce and aggressive, growing angrier as she spoke, and she genuinely began to feel wronged.

Xu Wei: ...

This is slander!

Haven't I ever praised you? When I praised your talent for drawing, you didn't remember a single word, but when I said you lacked business acumen, you remembered it all the time.

They just have to compare themselves to Huo Chen!

In the past, I couldn't compare to him, and I just didn't like Huo Chen.

Now they're all getting angry, is it all directed at me?

He glanced at Huo Chen. Good lad! He's good at playing dumb, perfectly invisible!

That's how his silly daughter got tricked!

Yun Qing was still angry when Huo Chen suddenly handed her a piece of paper.

Yun Qing glanced at it and asked in confusion, "What is this? A pig?"

Huo Chen looked dejected. "Was my drawing that bad? I clearly drew a dog."

Yun Qing: ...I can't see anything about this drawing except that it makes you look fat!

She habitually reached out and scratched his chin, comforting him, "It's okay. You haven't studied it, but you're already very talented to draw like this. Look, you have eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and there are exactly four legs, plus a tail!"

Xu Wei: ...It's unbearable to look at!

Xu Yunqing, do you still remember your pride as a renowned painter? When did your standards become so low?

What surprised him even more was Huo Chen. When did he become like this?

In the end, Huo Chen managed to appease Yun Qing, and she finally allowed him to speak with Xu Wei alone.

In the study, Xu Wei looked at Huo Chen, speechless for a long time, his feelings complicated.

If it weren't for that Xie family brat informing him, he really wouldn't have known that Yun Qing and Huo Chen had quietly developed to this point.

Not long ago, Yun Qing would get angry as soon as he mentioned Huo Chen, and would look at Huo Chen with disdain.

While Xu Wei remained silent, Huo Chen spoke first, "Chairman Xu, the Xu Group will only bear the surname Xu."

Xu Wei looked at him for a while before saying, "It's clear that Yun Qing cares about you a lot..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Huo Chen looking out the window, grinning with a worthless expression.

He turned his head and saw Yun Qing standing outside, craning her neck to look inside through the flower bushes, looking as if she wanted to crawl over the flower bushes and squeeze in. The bodyguards could hardly stop her.

Xu Wei: ...

He found it strange and turned to Huo Chen, asking, "What kind of bewitching potion did you give her?"

Huo Chen composed himself, looked away, and said, "Miss is actually worried about Chairman Xu. She was just afraid that seeing me would be too much for him and that his body wouldn't be able to handle it."

Xu Wei snorted coldly, "When did you become so good at making people happy? You must have been trying to please Yun Qing quite a bit, right?"

However, you could tell from his expression that he was quite pleased.

He sighed, softened his tone, and said, "Since you can make her happy, then make her happy for the rest of your life. I hope she can always be happy."

"Huo Chen, I can't protect her forever, but I hope you can."

“You’ve been by my side since you were little, and you’ll be responsible for managing the Xu Group in the future, so I will certainly not treat you unfairly.”

“I have already made a will, leaving you some shares.”

"My only request is that Yun Qing must not be harmed."

Huo Chen remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Chairman Xu, I don't want the shares. Leave them all to Miss Xu."

"I hope... that no one can shake her position, not even me."

What Huo Chen hopes for most right now is that he has the ability to protect Yun Qing, but not the ability to harm her.

He felt that what Xue Ling said at that time did not seem like a lie.

Although he was confident he could change the plot, it didn't stop him from preparing for the worst.

Therefore, he hoped that Yun Qing could have more protection.

Xu Wei asked with a serious expression, "Are you sure?"

Huo Chen, seemingly lost in thought, smiled and said, "It's good that the young lady pays me a salary."

Worried that Yun Qing might not be able to stay outside and might actually break in through the window, Xu Wei didn't talk to Huo Chen for too long.

When Huo Chen went out, Yun Qing looked him up and down. Seeing that he was unharmed, she was relieved and asked, "Is my dad alright?"

Xu Wei, who came out right after, pretended to be angry and said, "It's really kind of you to still remember me!"

Yun Qing smiled and took his arm, coaxing, "Dad, how could I forget you? You're the one I care about most."

Xu Wei felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. In the past, he would have believed it, but now he felt there was some exaggeration involved.

Before he could express his doubts, Yun Qing asked, "Dad, can Huo Chen and I get our marriage certificate now?"

Xu Wei: ...Can't you at least appease me first?

At this moment, Huo Chen suddenly spoke up: "Miss, don't rush, let's do a prenuptial agreement first."

Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, then exploded, "Huo Chen, what do you mean! Are you afraid I'll divorce you and take your property?"

Xu Wei couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, sighing, "How did you inherit this brain of yours?"

Yun Qing scratched her head, realizing what she meant. "Oh, right! Huo Chen, I'm richer than you. I also have shares in the Xu family business! If I'm not afraid, why are you?"

Xu Wei glanced at Huo Chen. This kid seemed genuinely interested in Yun Qing, but wasn't he being a little too wary of himself?

They don't want shares, and they want a prenuptial agreement.

Was she afraid he would misunderstand? Was she afraid he wouldn't approve of him being with Yun Qing?

He's not a stingy person. He's always treated Huo Chen like a son, and now that he's about to become a real son, how could he mistreat him?

Xu Wei reached out and patted Yun Qing on the shoulder, "If you want to get the marriage certificate, then go ahead, so that the Xie family won't be so clueless as to keep eyeing it."

Xie Mingxiao is someone who only wants to take shortcuts. If he still has hope, he will become even more eager to win back Yun Qing in the face of Xu's targeting, and he might even resort to some dirty tricks.

It would be better to just cut off his hopes altogether.

Yun Qing glanced at Huo Chen and said irritably, "Are you going or not? Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't go this time, even if you cry next time, I won't comfort you."

Xu Wei turned to look at Huo Chen. What? You're still crying in front of her?

"Cough...I didn't cry..."

Yun Qing: Right! You didn't cry, you just had this "If you don't comfort me, I'm going to cry" look on your face!
