Chapter 41: Huo Qingyan Was the One Who Got Divorced
The Maybach was large, with a low-key all-black body and a serious aura.
Not many people in the circle drove Maybachs, especially this globally limited customized model.
In the entire Qingyang City, only Huo Qingyan had this car.
Zhou Fu got out of the driver’s seat, walked to the back and opened the car door, Huo Qingyan got out of the car and looked directly at Jiang Su.
When he was still in the car, Huo Qingyan had already seen Jiang Su and Shen Xiumo.
Shen Xiumo looked at Jiang Su with interest and smiled meaningfully: “It’s Huo Qingyan, don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
Jiang Su was certain that Shen Xiumo was doing this on purpose.
Shen Xiumo had found out Huo Qingyan’s schedule in advance and, knowing that Huo Qingyan would be here, deliberately invited him to the banquet.
It was to let Huo Qingyan see that Jiang Su was now cooperating with him.
Jiang Su said with a forced smile: “If Mr. Shen says it’s a coincidence, then it’s a coincidence.”
Shen Xiumo didn’t mind and loudly taunted Huo Qingyan who was approaching: “Mr. Huo, it hasn’t been long since we last met, why have you lost so much weight? Is your life not going well recently?”
Hearing this, Jiang Su also turned to look at Huo Qingyan.
Just now, the distance was far, and he didn’t look closely. Now that he was looking at him up close, he found that Huo Qingyan had indeed lost some weight, and his brows and eyes appeared sharper.
It had only been a few days since he last saw Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingyan’s lifestyle habits had always been very poor; when he worked, he would neglect eating and sleeping.
He was like a work machine.
Before the divorce, Jiang Su would often call Zhou Fu and ask him to remind Huo Qingyan to eat.
Therefore, it wasn’t hard to understand why Huo Qingyan suddenly lost weight.
Huo Qingyan stopped: “Then Mr. Shen must be living too well recently, that’s why you were careless and lost to me at the last bidding meeting.”
The last bidding meeting was a very small project, too small for Huo Qingyan to personally participate in.
Shen Xiumo insisted on coming to snatch it, so Huo Qingyan had to step in and made Shen Xiumo lose badly.
What Shen Xiumo cared about most was losing to Huo Qingyan, and he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He sneered: “It was just a small project, it’s fine if I lost, but that’s better than being dumped.”
Huo Qingyan and Jiang Su looked at Shen Xiumo almost simultaneously.
Everyone who should know about their divorce knew, but no one knew that Jiang Su was the one who initiated the divorce.
Huo Qingyan’s face turned cold; his already sharp brows and eyes became even more aggressive, and his gaze was like a knife scraping against Shen Xiumo.
Shen Xiumo naturally wouldn’t back down, meeting Huo Qingyan’s gaze, the two men confronted each other.
The atmosphere was very bad, as if the two men were about to fight the next second.
Once a fight started, it would be difficult to stop.
Jiang Su broke the silence: “Mr. Shen, isn’t the banquet about to start?”
It was obvious that Shen Xiumo was inferior to Huo Qingyan in terms of momentum; whether he fought or not, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.
Shen Xiumo also realized this and took the opportunity to say: “Yes.”
Jiang Su smiled calmly: “Then let’s go up.”
Shen Xiumo finally withdrew his gaze and turned to Jiang Su with a smile: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Su didn’t look at Huo Qingyan again and walked inside side-by-side with Shen Xiumo.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiumo didn’t know what was wrong with him and turned back to provoke Huo Qingyan: “Mr. Huo, are you coming?”
His tone was triumphant and provocative.
He couldn’t beat Huo Qingyan, but he still had to provoke him.
It was simply childish behavior.
Jiang Su was beginning to wonder how Shen Xiumo, with such a childish personality, could manage the huge Huangsheng Media Group.
Huo Qingyan would ignore him.
The next second, Jiang Su heard Huo Qingyan say two words in his low and pleasant voice: “Okay.”
Jiang Su looked at Huo Qingyan in surprise, but found that Huo Qingyan was also looking at him.
He was talking to Shen Xiumo, not him; why was he looking at him?
“We’ll be waiting for Mr. Huo’s arrival.” Shen Xiumo finally left with satisfaction.
Jiang Su and Shen Xiumo entered the elevator first, and Huo Qingyan and Zhou Fu followed behind.
Shen Xiumo seemed very happy and hummed a little tune in the elevator.
Jiang Su originally thought that Shen Xiumo and Huo Qingyan had similar personalities, but after seeing him in person, he found that they were vastly different.
Shen Xiumo noticed Jiang Su looking at him: “Why are you always looking at me?”
Jiang Su asked: “Mr. Shen, how old are you this year?”
Shen Xiumo’s eyes showed surprise, but he still answered seriously: “Thirty, what’s wrong?”
“Curious, just asking.” He was the same age as Huo Qingyan, but his personality was at most thirteen, no more.
Shen Xiumo wasn’t stupid, and immediately reacted: “You think I’m childish?”
Jiang Su denied it without changing his expression: “No.”
The elevator doors opened at that moment, Jiang Su put on a professional fake smile: “We’re here, Mr. Shen, please.”
…
Shen Xiumo held a private banquet.
Jiang Su had been taken to many banquets as a child, but he participated less often as he grew up.
Therefore, even though there weren’t many people at the banquet, he didn’t know many of them.
Shen Xiumo saw that Jiang Su didn’t want to socialize and didn’t force him, letting Jiang Su do as he pleased.
After greeting everyone, he returned to sit beside Jiang Su.
Others also saw that Shen Xiumo and Jiang Su had something to talk about, and no one came to disturb them. Only he and Jiang Su were in this corner.
Without others around, Shen Xiumo didn’t hold back and asked directly: “Why did you dump Huo Qingyan?”
“Where did you see that I dumped him?” Jiang Su had wanted to ask this question at the entrance.
“It’s obvious, you announced your divorce and announced your comeback, and you look pretty good, it’s clear that the divorce made you feel pretty happy.
Huo Qingyan looks normal on the surface, but his condition is clearly wrong, it’s obvious that you dumped him.”
Neither of them noticed that Huo Qingyan had walked behind them.
And Huo Qingyan happened to hear Shen Xiumo’s words.
He didn’t speak; he wanted to hear Jiang Su’s answer.
Jiang Su had been very clear with him last time, but he still didn’t want to believe that Jiang Su, who loved him so much, could really feel happy after divorcing him.
Jiang Su didn’t expect Shen Xiumo to be so perceptive: “Divorce is the end of a relationship, it’s not about who dumped whom.”
“Oh.” Shen Xiumo didn’t care about these details; as long as he thought about Huo Qingyan being the one who got divorced, he could be happy for a long time.
He held up his wine glass and turned his head to see Huo Qingyan with a gloomy expression.
“Oh, Mr. Huo is here?”
Huo Qingyan ignored Shen Xiumo; his eyes were only on Jiang Su.
All he could think about was that Jiang Su hadn’t denied that he was happy after the divorce.
At this time, Lin Siyue came over from somewhere, greeted Shen Xiumo first: “Mr. Shen.”
When he saw Jiang Su beside Shen Xiumo, he was a little surprised: “Jiang Su?”
