Chapter 42: Who hasn’t spoken like farting?
Lin Siyue and Huo Qingyan arrived one after the other; it was clear Huo Qingyan had brought him.
Shen Xiumo gently swirled the wine in his glass, saying slowly, “Mr. Huo, I only invited you.”
It was almost like he was directly pointing at Lin Siyue’s forehead and saying, “I didn’t invite you, what are you doing here?”
Lin Siyue’s face changed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed at Huo Qingyan.
Shen Xiumo, seeing this, showed a hint of disdain in his eyes: “But all are welcome, please.”
Generally speaking, people of Shen Xiumo’s status and position wouldn’t target someone without reason.
Jiang Su guessed that Lin Siyue might have offended Shen Xiumo.
Seeing Lin Siyue and Huo Qingyan inseparable, it seemed they had gotten together.
It had only been a few days since their divorce, they were really impatient.
Jiang Su felt disgusted and stood up: “I’ll go to the restroom.”
He originally wanted to make an excuse to get some air, but unexpectedly, when he came out of the restroom, he saw Lin Siyue.
“Jiang Su.” Lin Siyue clearly waited for him on purpose.
Jiang Su’s face was cold and impatient: “Get out of the way.”
Lin Siyue pursed his lips, his tone serious: “I have something to tell you.”
“Speak.” He wanted to see what Lin Siyue had to say to him.
“Did you divorce Qingyan because of me? Qingyan and I are truly innocent; we’re really just friends.” Lin Siyue’s expression was as sincere as could be, afraid Jiang Su wouldn’t believe him.
Before, he had sent photos of Jiang Su leaving the Wangchuan Club to marketing accounts, just to get Jiang Su on the hot search and make him and Huo Qingyan quarrel and worsen their relationship.
He knew in his heart that even if Huo Qingyan divorced, he wouldn’t be with him.
He just wanted to alienate Jiang Su and Huo Qingyan’s relationship and then use this to get some benefits from Huo Qingyan, but he didn’t expect them to actually divorce.
Huo Zhenheng was ruthless; if he knew that Huo Qingyan and Jiang Su divorced because of his meddling, he wouldn’t let him off.
Lin Siyue felt that he had explained very sincerely, and Jiang Su should believe him.
But after hearing his words, Jiang Su’s first reaction was to laugh.
Lin Siyue was unnerved by Jiang Su’s laughter: “You…what are you laughing at?”
During that time, Huo Qingyan frequently returned home, and he was afraid that after Huo Qingyan and Jiang Su’s relationship became close, he would listen to Jiang Su and ignore him.
Therefore, when Huo Qingyan accompanied Jiang Su to the hot spring resort, he deliberately spread the news that Huo Qingyan was very close to him to Huo Zhenheng, then framed Jiang Su.
Although he also suffered a bit, his goal was still achieved.
Besides him, only Jiang Su, who was framed, knew the truth of this matter.
Was Jiang Su now going to settle accounts with him?
“Because of you? Do you have that much ability? Or do you think Huo Qingyan is a fool and would divorce because of someone like you?”
Jiang Su’s expression was calm and disdainful: “Even if Huo Qingyan is a fool, he’s a fool who can uphold his moral bottom line.”
He didn’t want to guess what Huo Qingyan’s feelings for Lin Siyue were.
But one thing he could be sure of was that Huo Qingyan wouldn’t commit actual adultery.
Perhaps, as netizens said, he was a love-brained person, but he wouldn’t marry someone with such poor character.
He didn’t know where Lin Siyue got the confidence to think he could destroy his marriage with Huo Qingyan.
The reason for the divorce was only between him and Huo Qingyan, and had nothing to do with others.
As soon as Jiang Su finished speaking, he heard Lin Siyue say behind him: “Qingyan…”
Jiang Su stiffened and turned around to see Huo Qingyan with a gloomy face.
Judging by his expression, he must have heard everything.
He cursed someone a fool behind their back, and the person involved heard it.
Huo Qingyan seemed not to see Lin Siyue, and went straight to Jiang Su: “If it wasn’t because of Lin Siyue, then why did you divorce me?”
Jiang Su looked at him without avoiding his gaze: “I already said it clearly last time…”
The last word “clearly” was not uttered, and was interrupted by Huo Qingyan.
“I don’t believe it!” Huo Qingyan’s eyes were full of rage: “On the day we got married, you said you would be with me for life!”
Even now, Huo Qingyan not only hadn’t reflected on himself, but also had the face to mention the wedding.
Jiang Su was furious, his voice cold as ice: “You goddamn bastard, when we were in bed, you said you’d ‘fuck’ me to death, and I’m still alive and well, aren’t I?”
Shen Xiumo, seeing that Jiang Su hadn’t returned for a long time, wanted to come and see what was happening, but when he arrived, he heard Jiang Su’s words, and the steps he had just taken were abruptly retracted in fright.
Was Huo Qingyan so wild in bed?
This young Master Jiang looked clean and pretty, but when he argued, he was so fierce…
Huo Qingyan was so angry that his lips were trembling, but he couldn’t say a word.
Jiang Su looked at him with a mocking expression: “Life is so long, who hasn’t loved the wrong person? Who hasn’t spoken like they were flatulating?”
Every word Jiang Su said was sharp as a knife, stabbing fiercely into Huo Qingyan’s heart.
Huo Qingyan’s face was already bloodless, pale and fragile.
If Jiang Su had seen Huo Qingyan like this before their divorce, he would have been so heartbroken that he would have wanted to offer him the whole world to coax him.
But now, Jiang Su only felt tired and impatient.
He strode past Huo Qingyan without hesitation.
Lin Siyue walked over to comfort Huo Qingyan: “Qingyan…”
Huo Qingyan’s voice was hoarse, as if he had used all his strength: “Get lost!”
Jiang Su didn’t look back, his expressionless face quickening his pace.
However, when he saw Shen Xiumo with a gossipy expression at the corner, Jiang Su’s composure cracked.
He hopefully asked Shen Xiumo: “When did you arrive?”
Shen Xiumo’s response crushed all his hopes: “I’ve been here for a while.”
Meaning he heard everything.
Jiang Su’s face changed repeatedly, but he tried to remain calm: “Let’s discuss the show.”
If he wasn’t embarrassed, the other person would be.
Yes, that’s right!
“Okay.” Shen Xiumo was actually taken aback by Jiang Su’s calm demeanor, even feeling a little embarrassed, like he’d been caught eavesdropping.
Tonight’s banquet was specifically arranged by Shen Xiumo to invite Jiang Su onto the show.
Both were aware of this.
Now, it was just being openly discussed.
“As you know, the producer of this show is my sister. Her style is bold. It’s a live broadcast show with no script; all the guests improvise…”
Hearing this, Jiang Su remembered that the famous producer, Shen Man, was Shen Xiumo’s sister.
Jiang Su interrupted Shen Xiumo: “Let’s talk about the price.”
Shen Xiumo said with a smirk: “Young Master Jiang also cares about money?”
