“What goes around surely comes around, you never expected something like this to happen, am I right?” Qin Chu asked, his gaze sweeping past Huo Siqian’s face .
“Haha, you’re right, but the good news is that useless garbage Huo Siyi killed himself, or else I would have had to finish him off myself… Truth be told, I didn’t think I’d get so badly injured . I’m glad Mian is fine though . ”
“Mian will always be fine, she has me protecting her . You don’t have to worry about a thing,” Qin Chu responded icily .
Upon hearing this, Huo Siqian merely changed the subject with a smile . “I heard that bitch, Mo Xue’er, came looking for you . What, do you plan on ganging up on me with her?”
“Do you think I’d work with her? I don’t need anyone’s help to defeat you, fair and square . ”
“Oh yeah? Should I be filled with anticipation?” Huo Siqian laughed arrogantly .
“You should, I’m sure you will see more and more great surprises down the road,” Qin Chu said, turning around to leave with a sneer .
“Sir, we need to guard ourselves against Qin Chu, he might have more intel on us . After he tipped-off Mo Xue’er’s scandal last time, the company suffered severe losses…” Huo Siqian’s assistant reminded .
“I know . I don’t care how much losses I suffer, nothing is as important to me as she is… I honestly wish to fight to the death with Qin Chu . If I win… perhaps I would be able to take her with me . ”
Then, Huo Siqian finished off the champagne in his glass and walked into the crowd of people .
Huo Mian rarely wore heels, so she quickly felt uncomfortable in them, feeling pain spreading from her ankle . Therefore, she slowly walked over to the side, placed down the champagne flute in her hand, and looked down to adjust her shoes .
However, she couldn’t bend down in her elegant dress…
At this time, Su Yu turned around to see Huo Mian by herself, so he immediately walked up to her . “What’s wrong?”
“Um, nothing . ” Huo Mian was too embarrassed to admit that her shoes were giving her trouble .
“Did you hurt your foot? The way you walked just now looked weird . ” Su Yu had attentively noticed how awkward Huo Mian’s steps were just now .
Seeing that she couldn’t keep it from him any longer, Huo Mian nodded . “Mhm, I think I scraped my ankle . ”
As soon as he heard this, Su Yu immediately bent down and carefully held Huo Mian’s ankle up, making her feel as awkward as could be . “Su Yu, don’t do that, we’re in public . ”
“It’s okay, there’s nothing going on between us, that’s why I have the guts to do something like this . Plus, I’m just taking a look at your injury…” Su Yu said, carefully examining Huo Mian’s wound before walking up to a server and asking him for a band-aid .
Then, he was just about to put the band-aid on Huo Mian when he remembered what she just said . Afraid that the reporters would write gossip about them, he walked up to Qin Ning and waved at her . “Hey…”
Feeling a bit surprised and flattered, Qin Ning replied, “Hey…”
“Um, can you give me a hand?” Su Yu asked .
“Sure, what’s up?”
“Can you place this band-aid on Huo Mian’s left ankle? She scraped it…”
“Oh… sure . ” Truth be told, Qin Ning was a bit disappointed by Su Yu’s request; the fact that Su Yu only talked to her so that she could help her sister-in-law upset her .
“Thank you . ” Su Yu then gave Qin Ning the band-aid before turning around to leave .
“Sis-in-Law, you hurt your ankle?” Qin Ning walked up to Huo Mian and asked slowly .
