Chapter 286 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 37
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw many people running away into the distance.
Huo Chen raised an eyebrow. Could he really be so angry that he died?
He opened the car door and got out.
Yun Qing also quickly got out of the car to watch the excitement.
The two walked toward the crowd. The banquet had just ended, and most people hadn't had time to leave yet. They were all gathered here, chatting and making a bit of a racket.
"What's wrong with Mr. Xie? Why did he suddenly faint?"
Xie Qin's driver was a little flustered. "Mr. Xie just said that he felt tightness in his chest and wanted to take a walk, so I drove after him. Who knew that he would suddenly collapse after only a few steps?"
"Is he having a heart attack? Did you call an ambulance?"
"Do you need first aid? Do you have any medication with you?"
The Ding family immediately called their family doctor. Xie Qin had come to attend a banquet hosted by their family, and now she had fainted not far from their doorstep. They couldn't just ignore her, could they?
However, he secretly cursed his bad luck, thinking he should have never invited the Xie family.
It's also their fault for believing the rumors, thinking that Huo Chen and Miss Xu had really broken up.
Thinking that the Xie family might still have a chance to turn things around, and not expecting Huo Chen and Xu Yunqing to come, she didn't want to appear too opportunistic and offend the Xie family.
As a result, I've run into this trouble.
Xie Qin, please don't die outside their door!
Xie Qin was eventually taken away by ambulance after receiving emergency treatment.
The group then dispersed.
Yun Qing expressed her satisfaction. With Xie Qin hospitalized, he had no energy to manage the Xie family's affairs, which was bound to cause chaos and wouldn't last long.
Then Huo Chen won't have to work overtime so often.
She opened the passenger door in a good mood and was about to get in when Huo Chen stopped her.
"what happened?"
Huo Chen opened the back door and said, "I've been drinking, I can't drive."
"And what you just did..."
Halfway through her explanation, she realized that Huo Chen had only sat in the front so that Xie Qin could see more clearly.
The two sat in the back, and with a bodyguard driving, Yun Qing began to ask about President Qi.
Huo Chen looked exhausted. He rested his head on her shoulder, closed his eyes, and said, "That President Qi is indeed Xue Ling's biological father."
Yun Qing looked down at him. Was he really that tired? He was full of energy just now.
Yun Qing reached out and rubbed his temples, saying gently, "You're so tired, why don't you sleep in your own room tonight?"
Huo Chen sat up straight in an instant and said firmly, "I'm not tired."
Why does he still have his own room? He doesn't need it anymore! What kind of work is Uncle Liu doing?!
Yun Qing: Heh... I knew it!
"puff……"
The bodyguard acting as the driver couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then he met the gazes of the two men looking at him simultaneously in the rearview mirror, which was quite intimidating.
His expression froze instantly. He quickly turned his gaze away, looking ahead, and muttered to himself, "Wow, this is so great, there's not a single traffic jam."
Yun Qing: ...
It's that not-so-bright bodyguard again! So unreliable!
But since he was the most skilled and had never made a mistake in important matters, he often stayed by her side.
Yun Qing didn't argue with him, she just patted her own shoulder.
Huo Chen immediately understood and leaned closer, "Qingqing is so good to me. It's a pity that some people don't have wives to love them."
Bodyguard: ...dared not speak.
Yun Qing held Huo Chen's hand and played with it, urging, "Continue talking about that President Qi."
Huo Chen was afraid that pressing down on her shoulders for too long would make her shoulders uncomfortable, so he sat up straight and pulled her into his arms to lean against him.
Then she continued, "As you know, Aunt Lan and Xue Ling were destitute when the old man took them in. Aunt Lan has also said that if it weren't for the old man's kindness, the two of them would not have survived long ago."
"I find it quite puzzling. Although being a single mother is not easy, Aunt Lan is a capable worker. How could she be in such a situation that she couldn't survive without someone's help?"
"Later, because Xie Mingxiao and Xue Ling got together, the old man told me about Xue Ling's background."
“Her biological father comes from an extraordinary family. The reason why Aunt Lan had such a hard time was because the Qi family wouldn’t give her and her daughter a way to survive.”
"What the old man learned at the time was that the Qi family had never accepted Aunt Lan and her daughter, and because of the marriage alliance, they were even less tolerant of them. They were practically trying to drive them to their deaths."
"The old man felt that the Qi family was too ruthless, so he protected the person."
"Later, the Qi family quickly shifted its development focus overseas, and the Xu family and the Qi family have had little contact in recent years."
"That Mr. Qi only recently returned to the country and wanted to discuss cooperation with the Xu family. After I met him, I discovered that he still couldn't forget Aunt Lan, and he thought that Aunt Lan and her daughter had died long ago."
Yun Qing instantly understood, "So back then, the Qi family was the ones who broke up the couple, trying to force Aunt Lan and her daughter to their deaths on one hand, and making President Qi mistakenly believe that the two of them were already dead on the other."
"Yes, it is said that at that time, it was President Qi's mother who was in charge, and she was a very capable person."
Did they eventually arrange a marriage?
"President Qi refused, but he also made a compromise and went abroad to take over the Qi family's responsibilities. That's why he has been abroad all these years and didn't realize that Aunt Lan was still alive."
The old lady of the Qi family probably thought that her son had been abroad for a long time and would eventually forget about Aunt Lan and her daughter.
Huo Chen even suspected that Aunt Lan and the Qi family might have some deep-seated grudge, otherwise why would that old lady shift the entire family's development focus overseas just to separate President Qi and Aunt Lan? That's going too far.
However, he was too lazy to investigate further, since it wouldn't affect him anyway.
Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said, "The old man is still the most enlightened."
Huo Chen wholeheartedly agreed; his father-in-law was truly wonderful.
Then he added, "President Qi has never married and is deeply in love with Aunt Lan. Now that he's back in the country, he'll find out about Aunt Lan sooner or later."
I don’t care whether he and Aunt Lan can get back together, but I can’t let Xue Ling have the power to hurt you. She is very hostile towards you.
Actually, the tragic novel that Xue Ling was reading didn't mention the original owner's background. As the female lead in the tragic novel, the original owner was a pitiful little girl without any support, otherwise she wouldn't have been constantly manipulated by the male lead.
However, in the storyline after Xue Ling transmigrated into the book, she, as the female lead who transmigrated into the book, became the female lead of a sweet romance novel.
Although Xue Ling doesn't know it yet, in the story, she will eventually gain a doting father who is obsessed with his daughter.
She instantly transformed into a wealthy heiress, a perfect match for Huo Chen, the villainous boss who rose to become the male lead.
The two companies, being both powerful, are invincible in the business world.
In the original storyline, Xu Wei did not tell Huo Chen about Xue Ling's background. However, Huo Chen was the first to discover Xue Ling's relationship with President Qi and then helped her reunite with her powerful father.
And now...to recognize each other?
Huo Chen will not stop President Qi and Aunt Lan from recognizing each other, but Xue Ling, don't even think about it!
The point is to make her watch longingly as she enters the wealthy family, unable to do so.
If she's focused on acknowledging her father, that would be better; then she wouldn't have the energy to be hostile towards his eldest daughter.
Huo Chen rubbed Yun Qing's hair and sighed inwardly. He had to be a good person and ensure that Xue Ling would not harm Yun Qing, so he had no choice but to use his words more.
He had previously mentioned Xue Ling in front of President Qi, but not Aunt Lan, because he didn't want President Qi to suspect that he had ulterior motives.
He planned to let President Qi discover Aunt Lan's existence on his own.
He, a young man, knew nothing about the grudges and feuds of the previous generation. He praised Aunt Lan highly but hated Xue Ling. There must be something wrong with Xue Ling.
If it were any other problem, it would be fine; Mr. Qi, out of guilt, might not hold it against him.
But can he tolerate Xue Ling constantly hurting the woman he loves and owes a debt to?
However, before President Qi discovers Aunt Lan, he has one more thing to do: completely cut off Xue Ling's path into the Qi family.
