Chapter 108: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 108: "The Concubine's Love, The Man's Indifference"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxue suddenly turned around and saw Huo Xinglang.

He was radiating with joy, looking as if something especially good had just happened.

But as soon as he laid eyes on Li Qingxue, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes darkened, clearly showing displeasure.

Li Qingxue immediately felt the change in his expression.

And when she recalled the person on the phone earlier, who mentioned Huo Xinglang was busy setting up a meeting with the daughter of the He family, as well as how he hung up on her and Zhang Hui’s cryptic remarks—what else was there to understand?

He had already given up on her for his career. He wanted to climb the He family’s social ladder and arrange a marriage with their daughter.

At this moment, Li Qingxue felt a mix of emotions. It was like being stabbed with a thousand knives, causing her indescribable pain.

But more than anything, she felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

She had done so much for him, even willing to approach Huo Xingjian for him.

Now, even Zhang Hui, this dog, was saying such harsh words to her.

And him? At this moment, he was abandoning her.

Despite the fact that she had no intention of having any more dealings with Huo Xinglang, it still made her furious that he had decided to abandon her in this way.

She could kick him out, but he couldn’t just give up on her first, and certainly not in such a sneaky manner.

Li Qingxue felt utterly wronged.

She was being threatened! She had no one to rely on! No one could help her!

At this point, he was the only one she could think of, because that matter was related to him.

But now, at this critical time, he was turning his back on her, leaving all the difficulties and problems for her to deal with.

How was she supposed to solve them? She already had enough problems on her plate.

Someone was threatening her for one million. Huo Xingjian was also pressuring her to choose between repaying the debt or going to jail.

And her younger sister, Li An An, had caused her so much trouble. Now, even Huo Xinglang was abandoning her.

Thinking about all this, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she looked at Huo Xinglang pitifully and helplessly.

With such an expression and look in her eyes, no one could deny there was more to their relationship than what they had been pretending.

It was clearly the image of a woman who had been wronged, clinging to her beloved man, showing him her vulnerable side.

It was the perfect portrayal of "the concubine’s love, the man’s indifference."

Ah! This was a really good drama!

Seeing the two of them exchanging looks, each with their own thoughts, Zhang Hui couldn’t help but feel excited and thrilled.

If he could freeze this moment and post it online, he was sure it would spark a massive wave of attention.

Those keyboard warriors would surely have something to do now.

But... should he wait?

No, no! The timing wasn’t right yet; he couldn’t spoil Mr. Huo’s plan.

After all, the last time, the video of these two "dog lovers" fighting naked in Mr. Huo’s office was still locked away in the vault.

When the time came, he’d release it all together. That would really stir things up! Now, that would be fun!

"Since Manager Huo and Miss Li have important matters to discuss, I won’t disturb you," Zhang Hui said politely.

He took a few steps before turning back to Li Qingxue, smiling as he reminded her, "Miss Li, remember the payment. Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo have no personal ties to you, yet they’ve been covering your medical expenses for over two years. That’s quite a big favor."

"You can't repay kindness with ingratitude, Li Miss. You must repay your debts. As people, we should have a sense of conscience and morals. I wish you and Manager Huo a pleasant conversation."

After saying this, he flashed a polite and friendly smile, then turned and left.

Seeing this, the security guard, Xiao Ke, also wisely stepped away, leaving the space for Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue.

However, the reality was that they were in the company lobby, where there was no real private space—only security guards, receptionists, and a few employees coming and going.

Huo Xinglang took a deep breath and glared at her with a dark expression. "What do you want? Huh? Coming to find me at the company?"

His voice was low but filled with clear anger and warning.

"I..."

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tonight!" Huo Xinglang interrupted her, his voice cold. "Do you know how many eyes are watching? How many of those eyes belong to his people?"

"Go back. We aren't that familiar! Don't ruin your own plans or ours!"

He didn’t even give her a chance to speak and took long strides toward the elevator, leaving without a second glance.

Li Qingxue stood frozen, watching him enter the elevator, the doors opening and closing, completely separating them.

In that moment, when the elevator doors closed, she felt as though she and he had truly become people from two different worlds.

There would be no more intersection between them. No, to be precise, there would be no more emotional intersection—only intersections of interest.

At that moment, Li Qingxue felt deeply unwilling. Unwilling to be abandoned by him just like this, without having taken anything back from him.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and turned to leave.

But Xiao Ke politely blocked her path. "Miss Li, you haven’t paid yet. Even if you can't repay it all at once, you should at least pay part of it, right?"

"Get out of my way!" Li Qingxue glared at him fiercely.

Xiao Ke, however, still wore his professional smile. "Miss Li, repaying debts is only right. Or would you prefer to go to jail instead?"

"Alright, I’ll call the legal department and let them know your decision..."

"You’re just a guard. What right do you have to talk to me like that? This is between me and Huo Xingjian. It's none of your business!" Li Qingxue glared at him with a twisted face.

"Miss Li, I’ve recorded your words. I’ll file a personal attack lawsuit against you," Xiao Ke said calmly.

Li Qingxue felt a buzzing sound in her head, as though her brain was about to explode.

This was truly infuriating!

One after another, they all bullied her. Now even this guard dared to climb over her and act so arrogantly.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile of apology. "I'm sorry, I misspoke. It’s my fault. I’ll send some money to Mrs. Huo... I’ll hurry and gather the rest. I won’t delay it."

Xiao Ke didn’t press the issue any further. After all, his goal had been achieved.

...

Meanwhile, Shen Cheng was being dragged around shopping by Huo Yushu, while the studio had already been handed over to a professional construction team to start working.

After negotiating with the team, the two women were feeling light-hearted.

Then, Huo Yushu suggested that they spend some money to relieve the stress.

Of course, she planned to somehow scam that money from her scumbag father.

Just as they entered the jewelry store, Shen Cheng’s phone pinged with a notification of a two-million-yuan transfer.

"Sister-in-law, did my brother just transfer money to you again? Not bad, not bad! Still quite considerate. Though, two million is a bit little," Huo Yushu said, clearly dissatisfied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Cheng’s phone rang again—it was a call from Li Qingxue.
