Chapter 89: Jiang Su, This Man Has Gone Mad
Jiang Su had a faint smile at the corners of his eyes, his tone gentle. He was clearly taking sides, but he seemed calm and collected.
He was being unreasonable, yet no one could question him.
Huo Qingyan’s eyes gradually darkened.
Jiang Su and Bai Mu had only met once, yet he was already so protective of him!
This gave Huo Qingyan a profound feeling of being an outsider.
He looked up at Jiang Su, their gazes colliding in the air.
Neither of them yielded.
The tense atmosphere was suffocating.
The others silently leaned back into their sofas, even their breathing lighter, trying to minimize their presence.
Comments:
【Damn, the CP fans of the scholar couple should give up now??】
【I can feel the suffocating atmosphere through the screen QAQ.】
【The others don’t dare to speak, it’s so funny hahaha…】
【This is more exciting than a TV drama!!】
【Hahaha, do all idols now protect their fans like Jiang Su…】
…
In this situation, no one dared to speak.
Fu Jin avoided the camera and silently gestured to Shen Man in the distance, asking if she wanted to pause the recording.
Shen Man simply shook her head slightly.
Such a stimulating scene, how could they stop recording?
Shen Xiume, on the other hand, was a little panicked: “Manman, why don’t we pause the recording? I’m afraid Huo Qingyan will send someone to assassinate me later…”
“It’s alright.” Shen Man had that enigmatic expression again: “If the sky falls, Jiang Su will hold it up.”
Shen Xiume: “?”
Shen Man turned to look at her bewildered brother and sighed softly.
Shen Man also knew that Huo Qingyan was Jiang Su’s ex-husband.
From her female intuition, these two were clearly engaged in a love-hate relationship, endlessly.
With her brother’s low EQ, if he were to interfere, he might not even leave a whole body.
Shen Xiume: “…” Feeling rejected.
Fu Jin felt his headache intensifying.
He had prepared a professional fake smile, ready to smooth things over.
But someone beat him to it.
“What if I do hold it against him?”
It was Huo Qingyan, his tone unreadable.
The smile on Jiang Su’s face deepened: “Mr. Huo, Bai Mu is still young, why would you bother with him?”
These words sounded familiar.
It was the auction from the beginning of the year.
At that time, Lin Siyue really wanted that painting, but Jiang Su bought it.
Jiang Su didn’t have a habit of collecting paintings, he thought Jiang Su was deliberately trying to spite him, so he asked Jiang Su to give the painting to Lin Siyue after the auction ended.
Lin Siyue had done him a favor, and rarely asked for anything, he just wanted to return a favor.
During this, Lin Siyue explained his reason for accompanying Lin Siyue to the auction, but Jiang Su mocked Lin Siyue.
So he asked Jiang Su to apologize.
But Jiang Su stubbornly refused to apologize.
Then, Lin Siyue persuaded him—Qingyan, Jiang Su is still young, why bother with him?
At that time, he thought Jiang Su was just being stubborn.
But he clearly knew that Jiang Su was not someone who was unreasonable or prone to tantrums…
Huo Qingyan’s lips were tightly pressed together, his jaw clenched, and he reached for his chest.
That sinking feeling in his heart appeared again.
It was like sinking into a bottomless black hole, unsure when it would end, bringing unrest.
Others clearly felt that Huo Qingyan’s aura had subsided, and the oppressive feeling was not as strong.
At this time, Bai Mu apologetically said: “I’m sorry, Mr. Huo, I didn’t mean any harm, it’s just that you and Lin Siyue always have rumors…”
Seeming to realize his words were inappropriate, Bai Mu paused before continuing: “In short, I was being petty.”
He then stood up and bowed to Huo Qingyan to apologize.
Jiang Su glanced at Bai Mu.
He found his fan interesting.
When he questioned Huo Qingyan just now, he definitely wasn’t acting with good intentions.
Now apologizing, he seemed sincere.
As if the person who just maliciously speculated about Huo Qingyan wasn’t him.
Bai Mu was not simple.
Fu Jin finally had the chance to smooth things over: “Mr. Huo definitely won’t mind, he and Lin Siyue are just ordinary friends.”
Bai Mu smiled and nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and this segment seemed to be over.
But Jiang Su suddenly said: “Host Fu, are you redefining the meaning of ‘ordinary friends’?”
Fu Jin: “!!”
Was Jiang Su finally going to start causing trouble?
Fu Jin started to panic.
“I mean…”
“There are still CP fans of Mr. Huo and Mr. Lin on Weibo cursing me.”
Jiang Su interrupted Fu Jin.
Jiang Su being called a homewrecker had been trending.
His sudden retirement had already attracted many haters, and coupled with being called a homewrecker, he was severely criticized during that period.
After his comeback, he only managed to regain some favorability thanks to the first episode.
Comments:
【He’s gone wild, Jiang Su, this man has gone wild hahaha!!】
【As expected, real men face things head-on, Jiang Su is awesome!】
【Can ordinary friends have rumors for so many years?】
【That’s right, Jiang Su was badly criticized before!】
【Huo Qingyan at least clarified later, but Lin Siyue just kept silent, so shameless!】
【Since Lin Siyue and Huo Qingyan are good friends, they should know that Huo Qingyan was already married, even to avoid suspicion, they should have clarified!】
【Isn’t the one who divorced Huo Qingyan the most deserving of sympathy?】
【Now I understand why Huo Qingyan got divorced!】
…
Shen Xiume sat behind the camera, using a tablet to watch the show’s real-time comments and discussion topics.
While watching, he worriedly said: “It’s over, it’s over, Huo Qingyan is finished.”
Shen Man was excited: “Huo Qingyan is finished, isn’t that what you want?”
Shen Xiume said seriously: “You don’t understand, strong people appreciate each other.”
Shen Man: “…”
…
Others didn’t dare to speak.
Fu Jin once again tried to smooth things over.
He was interrupted again.
This time it was Bai Mu.
“Fortunately, Teacher Jiang is innocent, but I wonder if Mr. Huo has explained his relationship with Lin Siyue to the one who initiated the divorce with him.”
Jiang Su looked at Huo Qingyan with an amused smile: “That’s difficult for Mr. Huo, he’s very busy, how would he have time to explain these trivial matters to his ex-husband.”
Bai Mu paused, then solemnly nodded: “That’s true, Mr. Huo must be very busy, he probably doesn’t have time to deal with these trivial matters.”
The scene was eerily silent.
After a while, Fu Jin adjusted his earpiece and slowly said: “Jiang Su, you just mentioned…Mr. Huo’s ex-husband?”

Chapter 90: We’ve Known Each Other for Ten Years
As soon as Fu Jin said this, almost everyone’s eyes turned to Jiang Su.
Jiang Su forced a stiff smile: “Yes.”
Damn!
What did he just say?
This was a live broadcast, he couldn’t pretend he didn’t say it.
Someone must have already recorded it.
At this moment, the comments were full of: ??
【Ex-husband??】
【I recorded it, Jiang Su did say “ex-husband”!!】
【This episode is so explosive hahaha I love it!】
【Was Huo Qingyan in a secret marriage before, how would Jiang Su know??】
【The question is, what’s the relationship between Jiang Su and Huo Qingyan?】
【Ah this, I think the serious CP I’m shipping is following a love-hate, tragic romance script??】
【Something’s wrong!! Seriously wrong!!】
【Host Fu, quickly ask how he knows!!】
It wasn’t just the comments filled with question marks.
The other guests in the recording studio also had question marks on their faces.
Huo Qingyan didn’t socialize much, the business events he attended were all gatherings of business tycoons, so logically he wouldn’t have any interaction with a small star like Jiang Su who lacked background.
But Jiang Su knew that Huo Qingyan’s spouse was a man!
This was more than just an interaction.
Many people had met Huo Qingyan, but few knew that Huo Qingyan had been married and divorced.
Fu Jin asked the question everyone was waiting for: “How did you know?” Jiang Su didn’t answer immediately.
He was thinking about how likely it was that the audience would believe him if he said he guessed.
A low voice suddenly sounded: “We’ve known each other for ten years.”
This statement was no less impactful than the revelation of Huo Qingyan’s marriage and divorce.
Jiang Su suddenly looked up at Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingyan’s expression was aloof, his black eyes unfathomable, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
Jiang Su stared for a long time, unable to see what Huo Qingyan was thinking.
Could Huo Qingyan be planning to expose their marriage?
Earlier, he had challenged Huo Qingyan, hoping that Huo Qingyan would back down instead of self-exposing on the show!
Suddenly, Huo Qingyan smiled at Jiang Su.
A carefree smile.
Huo Qingyan was really going to expose it!
Jiang Su’s expression changed, and before Huo Qingyan could speak, he stood up abruptly.
Huo Qingyan’s expression was calm, showing no signs of changing his mind.
Jiang Su sighed silently, there was nothing he could do.
“Bang!”
Jiang Su, who had been standing perfectly well a second ago, fell straight to the ground.
It happened so quickly that before others could react, Huo Qingyan had already rushed to Jiang Su’s side in a panic.
“Jiang Su!”
Shen Xiume, on the other side, urgently said: “Quickly switch the camera!”
Shen Man rolled her eyes at him: “Switch it? Do you think I wouldn’t?”
The moment Huo Qingyan rushed to Jiang Su’s side, the camera was switched to the sponsorship product area.
Huo Qingyan wanted to help Jiang Su up, but his left arm had undergone surgery with a plate installed, making it very inconvenient.
Without hesitation, he tore off his sling.
Shen Xiume rushed over, frowning and trying to stop Huo Qingyan: “Huo Qingyan, what are you doing!”
“Call the doctor to the rest room,” Huo Qingyan said, lifting Jiang Su into his arms.
Jiang Su was only pretending to faint; suddenly lifted into the air, surrounded by a familiar, stern aura, he instinctively grabbed Huo Qingyan’s arm.
Then he was startled. Didn’t Huo Qingyan have a plate in his arm?
Huo Qingyan also felt Jiang Su’s grip, pausing for a moment before silently quickening his pace.
Jiang Su was about to open his eyes when he heard Huo Qingyan’s low voice: “Don’t open your eyes.”
There were many people around, waking up suddenly would be difficult to explain.
Zhou Fu, aware of the unexpected situation in the recording studio, also rushed over. Seeing Huo Qingyan carrying Jiang Su out, his expression changed drastically: “Mr. Huo, your hand…”
Huo Qingyan simply said calmly: “It’s fine.”
His hand was almost ruined, and it’s fine?
Just a few days after surgery, he did this, if he didn’t have an amputation, it would be a miracle?
Zhou Fu worriedly followed behind Huo Qingyan.
Once in the rest room, Jiang Su immediately opened his eyes: “Quickly put me down!”
He didn’t dare to move much, afraid of hurting Huo Qingyan’s arm even more.
Huo Qingyan’s face was pale, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, he said softly: “You…try getting down yourself.”
His left hand was numb with pain, losing sensation, and he couldn’t move it.
Jiang Su understood, hugging his neck to get down.
As soon as he landed, he shouted at Huo Qingyan: “Huo Qingyan, what the hell are you doing!”
Zhou Fu, who followed behind, quickly figured out the cause and effect, turned around and closed the door.
Shen Xiume and the others had already followed.
Shen Xiume pointed to the door: “How come the door is closed?”
Zhou Fu’s expression didn’t change, he casually lied: “Mr. Jiang probably just had low blood sugar, he’ll be fine after eating something and resting for a while.”
Bai Mu stood up: “We should still go in and check on him, to be reassured.”
“Mr. Bai is right.” Zhou Fu turned and knocked on the door, his voice slightly raised: “Mr. Huo, we’re coming in.”
After two seconds, he opened the door.
The rest room wasn’t large, the situation inside was visible at a glance.
Jiang Su was lying on the sofa, Huo Qingyan sitting beside him.
“Teacher Jiang!”
Bai Mu quickly went over, but when he was about to get closer to the sofa, Huo Qingyan stopped him.
He turned his head and met Huo Qingyan’s emotionless black eyes.
Bai Mu pursed his lips and took a half step back.
Shen Xiume brought the doctor over: “The doctor is here!”
Hearing that the doctor had arrived, Jiang Su could no longer pretend, weakly opening his eyes.
Bai Mu showed a look of relief: “Teacher Jiang is awake.”
Huo Qingyan looked at the doctor: “Please get a box of glucose.”
The doctor turned to Shen Xiume, Shen Xiume nodded: “Get it, quickly!”
Jiang Su suddenly fainted on the show, the audience was still waiting.
Xu Mochen’s voice came from outside: “Susu!”
He had only gone to the restroom for a while, and he heard about this big incident.
Jiang Su glanced at Xu Mochen: “I’m fine, low blood sugar.”
Huo Qingyan took the glucose from the doctor, opened it, inserted a straw, and handed it to Jiang Su.
Jiang Su paused before taking it: “Thank you.”
Xu Mochen was completely dumbfounded.
He didn’t know his Susu had low blood sugar.
“Everyone, please leave, let Jiang Su rest for a while.” Shen Xiume spoke, and others quickly left.
After everyone left, Shen Xiume walked to Huo Qingyan, worriedly saying: “Your hand…”
Jiang Su gritted his teeth and finished the glucose, glanced at Huo Qingyan’s arm, and coldly snorted: “Just go to the hospital for an amputation.”
Shen Xiume: “…”
Ah this, is that a bit too cold-blooded?
