After Giving Up, My Rich Ex-Husband Begged Me to Return CHAPTER 77
Chapter 77: The Ex Was Killed by a Dragon
The atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Zhou Fu, seeing everyone misunderstanding Huo Qingyan, tried to speak up for him.
“I asked CEO Huo to come.”
Jiang Li Chuan looked at Zhou Fu with an expression of utter disbelief. “Oh, you’re so amazing…”
Could Huo Qingyan possibly listen to an assistant?
Even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe that.
Zhou Fu almost thought Jiang Li Chuan was praising him.
He actually thought he was pretty capable, having managed to get CEO Huo to come for his cousin.
But in the current situation, it was clear that the more he explained, the worse it got.
He gave Huo Qingyan a “I tried my best” look.
It wasn’t his fault; it was just that CEO Huo was too bad at handling interpersonal relationships…
But Huo Qingyan didn’t even look at him.
He didn’t care what others said; he only cared about Jiang Su’s opinion of him.
Jiang Su felt annoyance towards Huo Qingyan for the first time.
He had made himself clear enough at the hospital entrance that day.
Jiang Su walked out with a cold face, but was grabbed by the arm by Huo Qingyan as he passed the doorway.
Huo Qingyan asked him: “You don’t believe me either?”
Jiang Su’s face was icy cold: “Is this kind of clingy behavior interesting?”
Huo Qingyan’s face instantly changed.
“Mr. Jiang…” Zhou Fu felt that CEO Huo was innocent this time and still wanted to speak up for him.
Jiang Su shot him a look of unprecedented sharpness, silencing Zhou Fu.
“Having your assistant lie for you is utterly unbecoming, beneath your status as CEO Huo!” Jiang Su was somewhat disappointed. When did Huo Qingyan become this kind of person?
Jiang Su fiercely shook off his hand, the entire action filled with disgust.
Both Jiang Su’s words and his disappointed gaze felt like heavy stones, pressing down heavily on Huo Qingyan’s heart.
He felt almost suffocated.
Jiang Su left without looking back, and Xu Mo Cun and Jiang Li Chuan naturally followed.
Only Zhou Fu and Huo Qingyan remained in the room.
Zhou Fu frowned and asked Huo Qingyan: “CEO Huo, why didn’t you explain to Mr. Jiang?”
Huo Qingyan found Zhou Fu’s question somewhat familiar.
At the beginning of the year, when Lin Si Yue had just returned and wanted to buy an antique painting to give to the old man, Huo Qingyan had just returned from a business trip and happened to be free. He had originally planned to welcome Lin Si Yue back, so he went with him.
As a result, he met Jiang Su at the auction.
At the time, he thought Jiang Su had deliberately found out his whereabouts and followed him.
Now, recalling the scene, it was still vivid in his mind.
—”Who told you I was here?” —”It was Second Sister…” —”Jiang Ying told you?” —”Give me that painting.”
Afterwards, he learned that Jiang Su had only gone to the auction because Jiang Ying had asked him to.
His thoughts at the time were the same as Zhou Fu’s.
Why didn’t Jiang Su explain?
He only now understood how someone who was misunderstood would desperately want to explain.
Jiang Su had wanted to explain.
However, he had prejudged that Jiang Su had deliberately followed him.
He hadn’t listened to Jiang Su’s explanation at all.
Including the next day, when he misunderstood that Jiang Su had followed him and Lin Si Yue, therefore knowing that he and Lin Si Yue had gone to a bar.
—”You followed me?” —”Is that what you think I am?” —”You’ve done it before!”
Jiang Su’s face had changed then, and he hadn’t made any further explanations.
Later, when he found out that Jiang Su had only learned about it from the news, he had also wondered why Jiang Su hadn’t explained.
It was because he hadn’t given Jiang Su the chance to explain.
So this was what it felt like to be misunderstood.
Back then, hadn’t Jiang Su been even more upset than he was now…
Zhou Fu noticed that Huo Qingyan’s expression was getting worse and worriedly asked: “CEO Huo… what’s wrong with you?”
He had only advised CEO Huo to explain, but why did CEO Huo’s face become so grim?
CEO Huo seemed to have become more fragile after the divorce, huh?
“If someone doesn’t trust you, no matter how much you explain, it’s useless…”
Huo Qingyan’s voice was so soft it was almost a murmur, but Zhou Fu was close enough to hear it.
Zhou Fu disagreed: “Mr. Jiang isn’t unreasonable. If you explain seriously, he’ll definitely listen.”
“Yes, Jiang Su is reasonable.” But he wasn’t.
Back then, he hadn’t listened to Jiang Su’s explanation.
How could he have the face to ask Jiang Su to listen to his explanation now?
He hadn’t shown Jiang Su a little more patience and trust, but instead constantly caused him harm and pain.
Jiang Su didn’t leave suddenly.
Nor did he suddenly want a divorce.
Jiang Su was simply utterly disappointed in him.
He wasn’t just an unqualified partner; he was utterly terrible.
Zhou Fu felt that Huo Qingyan must have had more to say.
But he waited for a long time, and Huo Qingyan didn’t say anything else.
Huo Qingyan’s face had become frighteningly grim.
Zhou Fu couldn’t figure out which sentence he had said wrong to cause Huo Qingyan’s face to become like this.
He didn’t dare to speak.
Lu Jue’s voice came from the doorway.
“Cousin, the match is about to start. Do you and CEO Huo want to go watch?”
“Okay, I understand.” Zhou Fu responded loudly, constantly winking at Lu Jue to hurry up and leave.
His CEO Huo was in the wrong state right now; who knew when he might explode.
Lu Jue understood Zhou Fu’s gaze and hurriedly left.
Zhou Fu asked Huo Qingyan, “CEO Huo, the match is about to start. Do you want to watch Mr. Jiang’s exhibition match?”
Huo Qingyan’s expression recovered slightly: “Mm.”
…
The entire match was live-streamed.
The opening exhibition match was a BO3 format, best of three.
Besides several celebrities, there were also several major game streamers and retired esports stars.
Jiang Su had come to fill in at the last minute; no one else knew he would be there beforehand.
Since the first episode of the show “After the Divorce, Are You Happy?” aired, Jiang Su had been constantly on the hot search list.
When the host announced Jiang Su’s name, a wave of exclamations erupted from the audience.
The bullet comments went crazy.
【Whoa, Jiang Su??】 【Is this the Jiang Su I know??】 【A truly dream collaboration!! My favorite game invited my favorite man to play an exhibition match??】 【Damn it, I regret a thousand times not buying a ticket to watch the match live!!】 【Those who returned their tickets yesterday want to kill themselves now ahhhhh!!】
After the host cued the flow and said a few warm-up words, Jiang Su and his group took their seats.
The live broadcast switched to the game screen.
Jiang Su logged in using his game account.
He hadn’t put on his headphones yet. As soon as he logged in, he heard a burst of laughter from the audience.
Jiang Su looked bewildered: ??
The director cut to a close-up of Jiang Su at this moment.
Jiang Su’s expression perfectly embodied: Who am I? Where am I? What are you laughing at?
The laughter from the audience became even louder.
A streamer next to him reminded him: “Your ID.”
Jiang Su glanced at his game ID: 【Former Boyfriend Killed by a Dragon】
