Chapter 842: Missed

Editor: Henyee Translations

It was not that Xu Dong was not vigilant against Huo Xiuyuan, but even he probably couldn’t imagine how crazy a cornered rabbit could be.

Now, Huo Xiuyuan was that rabbit.

Kelly had already lost interest in staying here, and the other party’s father was also continuing to pressure him.

If he didn’t produce results soon, Huo Xiuyuan probably wouldn’t have such a good opportunity to confront the Huo Corporation again.

Hence, after brushing off Xu Dong’s assistant’s words, Huo Xiuyuan took the information he needed and returned to the company.

Thinking of what he was about to do, Huo Xiuyuan wanted to be more confident, so he took the initiative to call Huo Ya. Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t pick up at all.

Huo Xiuyuan thought that the other party was angry with him, so he patiently called again, but there was still no result.

“Forget it.” He tossed the phone onto the passenger seat beside him.

However, how could Huo Ya know that Huo Xiuyuan was looking for her? She had even gone to the Huo Corporation with Huo Qiuguang.

“We’ll go in later. No matter what, admit your mistake. Otherwise, we’ll both be finished.” Huo Qiuguang didn’t forget to warn his daughter before getting into the elevator.

“…Yes.” Huo Ya nodded reluctantly. Although she was unwilling, she still followed behind the other party because of her father’s stern warning.

However, when she saw Huo Qiuguang reach out and press the elevator button on the highest floor, Huo Ya’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. She no longer had the self-righteousness she had when she came to the company in the past.

She had not met Huo Yichen much, but she remembered his cold face and those scary rumors.

It was unknown what Huo Qiuguang was thinking at this moment. He just stood in the elevator and didn’t say anything. His expression was dark, making Huo Ya not dare to speak.

To be on the safe side, after discovering what his daughter had done, Huo Qiuguang confiscated Huo Ya’s phone and computer and didn’t let her contact the outside world.

They couldn’t afford to play with Huo Xiuyuan.

The elevator rose at an even speed, and the door in front of the two of them slowly opened with the prompt. Coincidentally, Huo Qiuguang and Huo Ya bumped into Ye Zhen, who was standing at the door and preparing to go down.

Seeing that it was Ye Zhen, Huo Qiuguang immediately revealed a fawning smile and glanced casually at Huo Yichen’s office.

He had not forgotten his purpose for coming over today. Coupled with the fact that he saw Ye Zhen here, Huo Qiuguang’s heart, which had just calmed down, rose again.

After all, although he had brought his daughter over to apologize, he didn’t know what Huo Yuchen’s attitude was.

If the other party really pursued the matter according to responsibility, then he…

Thinking of the consequences if that was the case, Huo Qiuguang’s heart skipped a beat.

“Assistant Ye, we’re here to look for the President.”

No matter what, Huo Qiuguang still spoke.

Ye Zheng was holding some documents and it was not convenient for him to shake hands with others. He only nodded and greeted them. He glanced at the two of them and shook his head.

“The President is not around now.”

He was telling the truth. Huo Qiuguang and Huo Ya had taken the elevator up. 10 minutes ago, Huo Yichen had just left.

Huo Qiuguang frowned. “Assistant Ye, we’re really here to apologize.”

“Don’t tease me—”

However, Huo Qiuguang thought that Ye Zhen was saying this to make things difficult for him.

However, Ye Zheng frowned and repeated, “The President has already gotten off work at this time. If there’s anything, please come back tomorrow.”

Gotten off work?

No matter what, Huo Qiuguang didn’t expect to receive such an answer.

After hearing Ye Zhen’s words, he subconsciously raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch. It was clearly only four or five in the afternoon. Why did he get off work so quickly?

Normally, this would be unbelievable, but Ye Zheng, who knew the inside story, didn’t think much of it.

For the past few days, Madam President had been in the hospital and lying on the bed alone. It was unknown how bored she was after an entire day. It was normal for the president to leave the office every day when it was time to get off work.

Without waiting for him to ask anything, Ye Zhen had his own things to do. After that, he took the documents and entered the elevator to leave.

Seeing the layers on the electronic screen at the side slowly descend, Huo Qiuguang’s heart floated for a moment, and his thoughts were unclear.

“Dad, I’ll leave first.” Seeing that she had missed her target today, Huo Ya turned around and left.

To be honest, her heart was beating like a drum. She didn’t want to face what she had done. Coincidentally, Huo Yichen was not around today. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and immediately planned to leave.

It was unknown what Huo Qiuguang was thinking. When he heard his daughter say this, he didn’t stop her. He just stood there and pondered for a long time.

Huo Ya didn’t care about anything else. At this moment, she only wanted to rush out and contact Huo Qiuyuan.

Although her phone had been confiscated by Huo Qiuguang, Huo Ya knew the phone number by heart. Even if she lost her phone, it wouldn’t affect her much.

Huo Ya, who wanted to contact Huo Xiuyuan, took the elevator to the first floor and prepared to leave.

However, just as she reached the entrance of the company, she was in a daze, as if she had seen a familiar figure.

Xiuyuan?

She saw a figure sitting in the car by the road not far from the company’s entrance. His back looked very similar to Xiuyuan’s. Huo Ya blinked in disbelief, but the other party had already reached the car after revealing himself for a while.

She didn’t want to let go of any opportunity, so she immediately took a step forward, planning to chase after him. However, when she looked again, the car had already started and left. The speed was out of Huo Ya’s reach, and in the blink of an eye, it had merged into the complicated traffic.

Before Huo Ya could confirm it, she saw the target slip away in front of her. She was a little frustrated.

At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. The caller was actually Jiang Weiyang, whom she had not seen or contacted in a long time.

The moment she saw the caller’s name, even Huo Ya was surprised that the other party would remember to call her.

However, despite her surprise, Huo Ya still picked up the phone and placed it to her ear.

“Hello?” she asked.

Jiang Weiyang’s voice immediately sounded on the other end. “What are you doing? It’s been a long time. Are you free to gather?”

Jiang Weiyang’s familiar tone made this first sentence very intimate. The distance between the two of them and the unfamiliarity during this period of time disappeared.

Huo Ya didn’t manage to see the person just now, but her mood improved slightly. She fixed her expression and took a deep breath to speak with the other party.

“Now you know how to think of me?” Huo Ya asked with a smile. “Tell me your address and I’ll look for you.”

In any case, Huo Yichen was not around today, so she had a lot of time.

Moreover, when she thought about how she needed to contact Huo Xiuyuan’s secretly, she felt that she could ask Jiang Weiyang to help her.

Therefore, the two of them decided on a time and place. However, Huo Ya didn’t seem to notice that Jiang Weiyang seemed to be urging her when she spoke.

Or rather, as expected, birds of a feather flock together. They still needed Huo Ya’s help, and Jiang Weiyang had found the person with the same goal.

After the call ended, Jiang Weiyang heaved a sigh of relief. Then, as if seeking comfort, she turned to look at Sofia, who was sitting beside her.

“Is this really right?”
