Chapter 45: I’ve long been a target
Xu Mochun looked at Huo Qingyan vigilantly: “What do you want?”
“Jiang Su.” Huo Qingyan’s gaze fell directly on Jiang Su, without even looking at Xu Mochun.
Xu Mochun, who was ignored, was unwilling to show weakness. He stretched out his hands, protecting Jiang Su like a hen protecting its chicks.
“Huo Qingyan, I warn you, my Susu has nothing to do with you anymore! Don’t try to cling to Susu again.”
The words “my Susu” in Xu Mochun’s words made Huo Qingyan finally look at him.
Huo Qingyan’s face clearly showed no anger, but Xu Mochun felt inexplicably a little apprehensive just by being looked at by him.
“Da Xu, it’s okay.” Jiang Su whispered to Xu Mochun and pushed him away.
Huo Qingyan was not a magnanimous gentleman. If he really targeted someone, he would definitely take action.
Cheng Xishi was an example.
Xu Mochun was worried: “He…”
“Go buy me a sandwich.” Jiang Su sent Xu Mochun away.
Only he and Jiang Su were face to face, and Huo Qingyan’s expression improved slightly.
“What? You came to settle accounts with me early in the morning?” Jiang Su wasn’t sure why Huo Qingyan came to find him early in the morning, but it wouldn’t be good news.
Huo Qingyan said in a deep voice: “Don’t participate in Huangsheng’s show.”
Jiang Su had just guessed that Huo Qingyan was looking for him to settle accounts because of yesterday’s incident. When he heard Huo Qingyan mention the show, he was stunned before reacting.
“Do you know what divorce means?” Jiang Su said, emphasizing his words, “Divorce means we have nothing to do with each other! Understand?”
Huo Qingyan’s eyes were unusually stubborn: “Shen Xiumo is targeting you with this show. You will be pushed to the forefront and become a target of public criticism.”
Jiang Su was prepared to have another big fight with Huo Qingyan.
But Huo Qingyan didn’t seem to be here to fight with him; he seemed to be concerned about him?
However, he had already become disheartened.
What’s the use of belated care?
Jiang Su remained unmoved, and even laughed: “Haven’t I already become a target of public criticism?”
Huo Qingyan was puzzled: “What?”
“When you and Lin Siyue were rumored to be a couple, I was already scolded as a mistress by your CP fans.”
Huo Qingyan’s expression gradually turned to astonishment.
He seemed to know nothing, so he looked innocent.
A mocking curve appeared on Jiang Su’s lips: “Last night, Da Xu specifically counted the number of insults. Including private messages and Weibo comments, it was probably tens of thousands.”
Huo Qingyan’s face changed slightly: “I didn’t expect it would be like this. I thought it would be fine after removing the hot search. I…”
Jiang Su interrupted him: “You thought? You didn’t expect? Huo Qingyan, ask yourself, did you really not expect it, or did you simply not care!”
Everyone said that Huo Qingyan was a business genius, incredibly intelligent.
How could such a smart person not think of such a small thing?
Huo Qingyan simply didn’t want to spend time considering him.
In the past, he didn’t want to leave Huo Qingyan, so he deceived himself. Now that he had let go, he saw everything more clearly.
Jiang Su’s questioning struck Huo Qingyan’s heart.
Jiang Su was right; he could have thought of these things.
Just like when he seriously recalled it, he could remember everything related to Jiang Su. He just took advantage of Jiang Su’s love for him and didn’t put any effort into thinking about Jiang Su.
“You could have told me…” Huo Qingyan’s voice dropped.
Jiang Su calmed his emotions: “Haven’t I told you enough? But how many things have you taken to heart?”
The past became incredibly clear at this moment.
Huo Qingyan searched his memories but couldn’t find a single example to refute Jiang Su.
He looked at Jiang Su speechless, his expression helpless, like a helpless child.
“Have a good life with Lin Siyue, don’t come looking for me again.” Jiang Su didn’t want to see him like this and looked away.
Even though he didn’t love Huo Qingyan anymore, he still respected Huo Qingyan somewhat.
The Huo Qingyan he knew should always be strong and confident.
Huo Qingyan should be like that.
Huo Qingyan hurriedly explained: “Lin Siyue and I are not together.”
Jiang Su saw Xu Mochun coming out of the supermarket with the sandwich, so he walked straight towards him.
Huo Qingyan behind him was still explaining: “Lin Siyue saved me; he has saved my life.”
Jiang Su slowed down his pace, still without turning back, and left with Xu Mochun.
“Mr. Huo? How did you talk to Mr. Jiang?” Zhou Fu came over when he saw Jiang Su leave.
Huo Qingyan said nothing, turned and walked towards the car.
He hadn’t gotten a haircut recently, and the hair on his forehead just covered the corners of his eyes, making him look even more dejected.
Zhou Fu understood; the talk had broken down.
But it was also normal. With Mr. Huo like this, if he were Mr. Jiang, he would have used a pillow to suffocate Mr. Huo while he was sleeping.
Mr. Jiang was really too kind.
After getting in the car, Zhou Fu heard Huo Qingyan call him: “What’s Jiang Su’s Weibo name?”
“Mr. Jiang’s Weibo is his name.” Why was he suddenly asking about Jiang Su’s Weibo?
Huo Qingyan downloaded Weibo and searched for Jiang Su’s Weibo homepage.
The first post on the homepage was the post announcing his comeback a while ago, with tens of thousands of comments.
Huo Qingyan opened the comments.
The top comment was: “Little Jiangzi fans assemble! It’s time to work!”
It turned out that “Little Jiangzi” was Jiang Su’s fan name.
Looking further down, the second comment wasn’t so friendly: “No wonder he’s rubbing off on our scholar couple’s popularity; it turns out he wants to make a comeback.”
When the hot search came up before, Zhou Fu had shown Huo Qingyan the hot search, so he also knew that “scholar couple” referred to him and Lin Siyue.
Huo Qingyan’s face darkened, and he exited to check the comments on Jiang Su’s next Weibo post.
That Weibo post was from two years ago when Jiang Su quit the entertainment industry, with hundreds of thousands of comments.
The comments under this Weibo post were simply unbearable, full of “bitch,” “mistress,” and so on.
Huo Qingyan was so angry that he threw his phone away.
Zhou Fu was used to it and even calculated in his mind how many times Huo Qingyan had thrown his phone this month.
But after a while, Huo Qingyan picked up the phone again.
Until they reached the bottom of the Huo Corporation building, Huo Qingyan was still fiddling with his phone.
When the two entered the elevator together, Huo Qingyan handed the phone to Zhou Fu: “Buy a hot search for this Weibo post, and then buy me a new phone.”
Huo Qingyan had smashed his phone in the car, and the screen was shattered like a spider web.
It was admirable that Mr. Huo could still tolerate such a phone screen.
“Okay.” A good assistant never asks why, just obey.
However, when Zhou Fu saw the content on the phone screen, he was still shocked.
——Huo Qingyan: Please stop fabricating that Lin Siyue and I are a couple; it has caused great distress to my life.
