Chapter 17: Kneel and Apologize to Her

one number, Su He sent him a red envelope and then a message.Thank you for the flowers, the secretaries loved them.Only after the morning meeting ended did Su He see Zhao Binarui's string of replies.E...As night deepened.

Huo Chenxi raised his hand to look at his watch, then pushed the mahjong in front of him: "Let's stop here for today, shall we"

Seeing him get up to leave, the people around started cheering him on.

"You're leaving this early It doesn't seem right. Your sister-in-law hasn't even called yet, has she"

"Has your sister-in-law ever urged your brother At this time, he's definitely waiting outside!"

"It's been a while since I've tasted my sister-in-law's cooking. Big brother, if you can't finish it one day, remember to call me so I can have the leftovers."

Huo Chenxi got up and picked up his coat. He gave Zhao Binrui, the last person to speak, a cold glance and walked out without a word.

"What did I say wrong" Zhao Binrui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Huo Chenxi's face had been grim all night, and his last look was the most terrifying.

Jian Song glanced at him: "You dare to think about the meal cooked by your sister-in-law"

Zhao Binrui muttered, "In the past, he didn't like to eat when his sister-in-law brought him food. I stole a few bites."

Qin Shi helplessly shook his head: "You're saying this happened in the past."

Zhao Binrui exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that the gossip news is true Big brother is really with Bai Yihuan now, and sister-in-law will have to find someone else"

Jian Song and Qin Shi looked at each other, then patted Zhao Bin Rui's shoulders one after the other, both sighing helplessly.

Besides mentioning Su He, when did Huo Chenxi mention any other woman's name in front of them

No wonder Huo Chenxi told Zhao Biner not to compete with his half-sister He Lijun for the inheritance, with his intelligence and imagination, if it were He Lijun's methods, he would probably die without knowing how!

Qin Shi caught up with Huo Chenxi in the garage. Seeing that he was alone and seemed down, Qin Shi invited him for a drink.

Thinking of the cold and deserted villa in Starry Bay, Huo Chenxi suddenly didn't want to go back.

Once upon a time, there was no difference in places where people slept, it was all the same. There wasn't much variation.

From some point on, no matter how late he came back, a warm light, someone waiting for him to come home, and steaming dishes made the villa in Star Bay feel different.

Although it was simply a return to the past, he found the Starry Bay Villa colder than any other place.

Despite himself, he couldn't help but want to go back. Along the way, his mind kept wandering, imagining that the light might be on and the room filled with the aroma of cooking.

Zhao Binrui said that he hadn't tasted Su He's cooking for a long time, and neither had she.

My stomach, which had been well-fed and content, now frequently cramps and aches. But no one fusses over me anymore, reminding me to eat on time.

Once he always thought that Su He couldn't live without him, but now that she left without looking back, he realized it was himself who felt out of place.

"I heard that Yihe Group has resumed cooperation with Dijin Group. Did you persuade Mr. Shen" Qin Shi casually brought up a topic.

Career is going well, but emotionally I'm in a bad place. Looks like I've been unlucky in love.

Watching Huo Chenxi drink the liquor like water, Qin Shi didn't stop him, letting him vent freely.

It's been a long time since I've seen Huo Chen Xi so out of control.

Huo Chenxi glanced sideways, let out a snort as a response, then raised his cup and drained it in one go.

A fiery liquid slid down the corner of her mouth, tracing a path along her long neck, gliding over her prominent Adam's apple. Underneath the neon lights, it radiated a mesmerizing and seductive allure.

Unintentional seduction is the most deadly, Qin Shi couldn't help but sigh in admiration—what a demon.

A woman with sultry smoky makeup and a sexy short skirt sashayed over, twisting her snake-like waist. She stared at Huo Shenxi with scorching eyes and asked in a coquettish voice, "Handsome guy, can I have a drink with you"

Just as Qin was about to drive people away, Huo Chenxi suddenly asked, "Can you cook"

The woman gave a suggestive wink: "I'll definitely feed you."

Can you iron clothes

"I understand people best."

"You will..."

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" The woman eagerly leaned in towards Huo Shen Xi.

"It's so stinky." Huo Shenxi pushed her away with disgust all over his face.

A woman smelled her arm, the hormone-stimulating scent of perfume, where did it stink

"Are you crazy" She glared at Huo Shenxi angrily. She thought he was handsome and had a good figure, but unfortunately, he wasn't very smart.

Huo Chenxi's face darkened, and he slammed his wine glass heavily on the bar.

The woman was frightened by the hostility emanating from him and ran away in panic.

"Ah—" A cry of alarm, the bottle fell, shards of glass flying with the amber liquid, "Are you blind walking"

Su He was bumped back two steps, and just as she regained her balance, she heard the other person scolding her angrily.

“You bumped into me,” she frowned, defending herself.

The new clothes were stained with wine, Su He sighed, not wanting to argue with the woman reeking of alcohol. He considered himself unlucky.

She had just turned to leave when the other party suddenly grabbed her hair and said, "This wine is worth 300,000 yuan. Either you pay for it or you have to accompany me for a drink."

Su He was dragged and felt a tingling scalp. She could only stabilize herself first: "Let go, I'll find my friends to get the money!"

"No money, then accompany me with drinks!" The woman snorted, dragging Su He towards the private room.

Su He was forced to follow along, racking her brain for a way out.

Huo Yirou took her to a bar for fun, but unexpectedly, she encountered misfortune when she went to the restroom.

We soon arrived at the door of the private room.

The woman warned in a low voice, "Behave yourselves. If you offend our guests, neither you nor your friend will be leaving here tonight!"

Su He only then understood, the woman was pretending to be drunk, deliberately designing to force her to accompany her in drinking, she's afraid Huo Yirou also encountered trouble.

"Don't touch her!" Su He gritted his teeth, staring at her fiercely. "Otherwise, I won't let you go."

"Take care of yourself first!" The woman shoved him, and Su He stumbled and fell into the private room.

Dazzling dim lights, deafening music, wine bottles and various drugs scattered on the coffee table, entwined couples, a rancid air permeating the empty bar.

Having intended to improvise, Su He saw the situation and immediately turned to flee, but he was covered by a tall man from behind, who muffled his mouth and dragged him back.

"Pretty girl, let's play together." The man grabbed a handful of pills and shoved them into her mouth.

Su He tightly pursed her lips, avoiding the man's hand, and arched her knees to attack the man's vital spot.

The man was caught off guard and kicked, writhing in pain. He rolled on the ground and shouted at his companion who was still conscious: "Catch her for me!"

Two hands can't match four fists, Su He was quickly caught.

The man gritted his teeth and climbed to his feet, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped out with both hands viciously.

Su He's face immediately swelled up.

"You wretch, shameless! " The man raised his hand, unbuckling his belt and waving it around, a cruel smile on his face.

Su He gritted her teeth, slammed into the man who was grabbing her, and grabbed a wine bottle with her backhand. With all her might, she swung it towards the man's head.

Fresh blood mixed with liquor trickled down.

The man touched his forehead, licked the crimson on his fingertips, and grinned madly at Su He: "Such a fiery personality, I like it!"

Like a predator stalking its prey, he approached Su He step by step.

"Don't come any closer, or I won't hesitate!" Su He clutched the broken glass and pointed it at him. Her hands were gripping too tightly, her palms cut, bright red blood dripping onto the floor.

The man grew increasingly excited and reached out to touch Su He's face.

Suddenly.

The cubicle door was kicked open, all the lights came on, and the room was a mess.

Soon, the music was turned off, and the disoriented lovers were dragged out.

"Who's messing with my good stuff" the man growled in a bad mood, but when he saw who it was, his face changed, and he smiled ingratiatingly. "Brother-in-law, what brings you here"

With a panicked expression, Huo Yirou rushed to Su He's side who was cornered, and frantically hugged her: "Sister-in-law, are you alright My brother and I are here, it's okay now!"

Su He, after a violent struggle, caught the scent of Huo Yi Rou and finally regained his composure.

She lifted her head and tried to smile at Huo Yirou.

Huo Yirou looked at her swollen cheeks and the bright red on her hands, her heart aching with concern.

It's all her fault. She brought Su He to the bar to vent her emotions, putting her in danger instead.

Bai Yiyang cautiously glanced at Huo Chenxi, seeing that he remained silent, his face grimly fixed on Su He. A flicker of delight crossed Bai Yiyang's heart. "The great flood washes away even the dragon king's temple," she said to Huo Yirou with a fake smile. "Turns out it's Miss Huo's friend."

"She's someone you..." Huo Yirou was about to reveal Su He's identity, but seeing the crowd gathered around watching the commotion, she decided to protect Su He's reputation and vaguely said, "Someone you shouldn't touch. Now, kneel down and apologize to her!"

"Brother-in-law," Bai Yiyang, refusing to lower his head, looked at Huo Chenxi, playing the victim. "This is a misunderstanding, she attacked first."

Hearing Bai Yiyang's address to Huo Chenxi, Su He suddenly understood something and chuckled.

In a silent space, with a mocking smile, it was eerie and grating. late, he should be heading back by now, rightSu He looked at the unanswered call and exited the call page. She opened her chat history and sent a message to Huo Shenxi."Sorry, something came up on my...
