Chapter 86: Lin Siyue Was the Third Party
Hospital…
Huo Qingyan sat on the sofa, reading a document one-handed.
The ward door was suddenly pushed open.
“Mr. Huo, busy?”
Huo Qingyan looked up and saw Shen Xiumei walking in with a smile.
He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
Huo Qingyan looked at the flowers, his eyes showing undisguised disdain.
Shen Xiumei glanced at the flowers, smiling. “I heard you should send flowers when visiting someone in the hospital. You don’t lack anything else, so I bought you a bouquet from the flower shop. Touched?”
Shen Xiumei raised his chin and winked at Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingyan’s face was frosty, his tone extremely cold. “The new hospital near your company, their neurology department is excellent.”
Shen Xiumei was confused for a moment before realizing Huo Qingyan was calling him crazy.
He thought Huo Qingyan was getting better at insulting people.
He almost didn’t understand it was an insult.
“If you used that energy for insulting people on being good to Jiang Su, you wouldn’t have been dumped.”
Giving up was impossible, so he could only poke at Huo Qingyan’s sore spot.
But this trick seemed useless.
Because Huo Qingyan didn’t even blink before lowering his head to look at the document.
Worthy of being his recognized opponent.
His adaptability was unmatched.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to be on the show? Since we’re so close, I reluctantly agreed. Get ready; you’ll be filming in a couple of days.”
Although he agreed to let Huo Qingyan on the show, he hadn’t followed up, thinking that if Huo Qingyan changed his mind, he’d forget about it.
But now things were different; Xu Ce was finished.
Plus, in the first episode, Jiang Su’s words were too harsh, causing many celebrities to be afraid of joining the show.
Shen Xiumei really couldn’t find anyone.
“I don’t force people to do things they don’t want to do,” Huo Qingyan closed the document and took out his phone.
Shen Xiumei thought Huo Qingyan had changed his mind and panicked.
“What’s wrong with you? When you wanted to be on the show, you used my competitor’s show to threaten me! Now you say you don’t force people?”
Huo Qingyan finally looked up at him.
His deep, dark eyes fixed on Shen Xiumei, making Shen Xiumei’s hands prickle.
Damn it. When it came to intimidation, he couldn’t compare to Huo Qingyan.
Shen Xiumei gave up. “Please? Please be on my show?”
Huo Qingyan’s expression was indifferent. “You’re begging me?”
Shen Xiumei emphasized, “I’m begging you!”
Huo Qingyan’s voice was light. “Oh, alright.”
Shen Xiumei: ??
Something was wrong?
Wasn’t Huo Qingyan the one who wanted to be on the show?
Why did it become him begging Huo Qingyan now?
Feeling like he’d been tricked again!
Heh…
No one knew why Jiang Su and Huo Qingyan divorced.
But Shen Xiumei felt that one of the reasons they got married was because they both loved to trick people.
…
Xu Ce remained on the trending searches for several days.
In the words of netizens, this was probably the most glorious time of Xu Ce’s life.
Saturday arrived as scheduled.
Jiang Su arrived early at the recording location.
After Xu Ce’s incident, the show announced a new guest, but didn’t reveal the name.
He came early to learn about the new guest.
As soon as he got out of the car, someone rushed towards him.
“Jiang Su! I’ll kill you!”
Jiang Su narrowed his eyes and saw Xu Ce.
Holding a knife.
Xu Ce, whose body was weak, was no match for Jiang Su, a trained fighter.
Jiang Su quickly subdued Xu Ce, asking seriously, “Your case hasn’t gone to court yet. Are you worried about not getting a long enough sentence?”
Xu Ce struggled but remained immobile. “What the hell are you?”
After so many years in the entertainment industry, he never imagined he would fall into the hands of someone like Jiang Su, who seemed to have no background.
Since his life was over anyway, he’d spent a lot of money to get bail, wanting to take Jiang Su down with him.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Su was not only resourceful but also skilled in martial arts.
“Su Su!” Xu Mochen, who had gone to park the car, saw Jiang Su’s situation in the rearview mirror and rushed over.
“Mr. Jiang! What happened?” Zhou Fu’s voice suddenly came.
Jiang Su and Xu Mochen turned to see Zhou Fu and Huo Qingyan.
There was a dropped knife on the ground, and Xu Ce was under Jiang Su’s feet. The scene made it clear what had happened.
Huo Qingyan’s expression turned cold. He turned to the hurriedly arriving staff. “Where’s Shen Xiumei?”
“CEO Shen is on his way…” the staff member trembled. “We’ve called the police.”
Shen Xiumei and the police arrived at the same time.
With this happening at the recording location, Huo Qingyan didn’t give Shen Xiumei a good look.
Shen Xiumei rubbed his hands and smiled ingratiatingly at Huo Qingyan. “You’re here?”
Huo Qingyan ignored Shen Xiumei.
Noticing Jiang Su looking at him, he also looked over.
Jiang Su asked first, “How’s your arm?”
Huo Qingyan immediately said, “The doctor said it’s recovering well.”
“That’s good.” Jiang Su turned and walked inside.
Huo Qingyan quickly followed.
“Mr. Huo, something?” The same exquisite face, but with a sense of distance.
Huo Qingyan seemed a little flustered, silent for a moment, before muttering, “Shen Xiumei begged me to come.”
Shen Xiumei, who followed behind: ??
“You’re an investor; it’s your choice whether to come or not.” Jiang Su thought Huo Qingyan was strange; he hadn’t asked why Huo Qingyan was there.
He did want to avoid seeing Huo Qingyan.
But he found that this circle was so small, that it was difficult to avoid seeing each other.
In that case, it was better to be open about it.
Shen Xiumei realized that Jiang Su might not understand why Huo Qingyan was here and stammered, trying to explain, “That…”
Jiang Su turned to him.
Shen Xiumei closed his eyes and blurted out, “He’s here to be on the show!”
Jiang Su: “Who?”
Shen Xiumei: “Huo Qingyan.”
Jiang Su: “?”
…
Before the official recording, the news that Huo Qingyan was the new guest had spread.
Netizens directly asked on the official Weibo: “Is the new guest Huo Qingyan?”
Official Weibo replied: “Watch and find out.”
Netizens: OMG!!
