Chapter 1029: Do You Believe He’s My Dad

Morning.

When Huo Xiao headed to School she found the woman who hit her yesterday kneeling at the gate holding a banner.

The banner read “Huo Xiao, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hit you yesterday. Please forgive me.”

A crowd had gathered to watch.

“Deng Xue actually apologized to Huo Xiao like this. Huo Xiao is too badass.”

“Huo Xiao? That long-legged flat-chested goddess?”

Huo Xiao smirked. The long-legged goddess part was enough. Why add flat-chested?

So what if I’m flat? Being flat has its benefits. You single dogs will never understand.

“Yes, that’s her. Deng Xue beat her up yesterday afternoon and today is kneeling here to apologize. Tsk tsk tsk…”

“This Huo goddess is getting harder to understand… here comes the protagonist.”

Seeing Huo Xiao someone quickly reminded everyone who then made way for her staring at her with awe.

“Huo Xiao, please forgive me. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have had people hit you yesterday. I won’t dare do it again.”

Seeing Huo Xiao, Deng Xue forced herself to swallow her pride before admitting her mistake and begging for forgiveness, even kowtowing to her.

Yesterday when her brother was sent to Hospital he was nearly dead.

She was really scared to death.

“Well… okay. Leave now. I forgive you.”

Being watched by so many people made Huo Xiao uneasy. She awkwardly said to Deng Xue.

Seeing this she knew that Little Dad was lying last night. He never injected Deng Xue. Otherwise, Deng Xue wouldn’t have done such an embarrassing thing today.

She suddenly felt inexplicably happy.

Little Dad really isn’t a casual person.

She obviously didn’t know Xu Shaochen can be quite casual and usually doesn’t even see others as human.

After getting Huo Xiao’s forgiveness, Deng Xue quickly left not wanting to be watched like a monkey.

“Xiaoxiao, who was that guy yesterday? Your boyfriend? When did you catch such a rich and handsome guy without telling me? Do you even consider me a sister?”

Yesterday’s fellow classmate who got beaten with Huo Xiao huddled over full of gossip.

“He’s my dad. Do you believe it?”

Huo Xiao said helplessly. She had no intention of hiding anything from her best friend.

“You… you found a sugar daddy?!”

Her best friend looked shocked as if she couldn’t believe that even Huo Xiao could do something so shameless.

Moreover, getting rich without even including her!

“What are you saying.” Huo Xiao stomped her foot in embarrassment whispering the situation into her best friend’s ear.

Her best friend listened with wide eyes and a stunned look. “He’s really your dad huh.”

It wouldn’t surprise her if the guy slept with Huo Xiao.

But sleeping with Huo Xiao’s mom left her shocked and bewildered.

Turns out a teenage girl ultimately can’t compete with a mature woman?

“Shh. Keep it down. Don’t let others know. So embarrassing. The guy isn’t much older than me.”

Huo Xiao said blushing helplessly even if she’s called him Little Dad so casually by now.

…

“Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!”

Xu Shaochen sneezed three times in his office and then accepted the tissue that Yuxiu handed over wiping his nose. “Who’s dreaming of me now?”

“It’s your birthday tonight. Should I go?”

Yuxiu sat on Xu Shaochen’s lap soft-spoken like an obedient kitten.

Indeed, tonight was Mr. Xu’s twenty-fifth birthday.

Invitations had been sent out ages ago the venue being the Chen Yu Grand Hotel.

“Do as you like. Go if you want, if not just head home.”

Xu Shaochen held her with one arm while approving documents in the other without disrupting work and pleasure.

Life is short so enjoy it while young lest when old the body parts can’t keep up.

“Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if I go?”

By asking Yuxiu indirectly expressed she wanted to go but feared causing trouble with Xu Shaochen’s main wife.

“I don’t have such trivial house affairs. Help me unbutton my collar, it’s a bit warm.”

Xu Shaochen replied casually.

Yuxiu extended her slender hands helping him unbutton. “Then I’ll go tonight?”

“Ring ring ring…”

The phone on Xu Shaochen’s Desk rang.

Yuxiu obediently handed the phone over.

Seeing it was an unfamiliar number Xu Shaochen frowned slightly answering.

“Hello, who is it?”

After a pause a calm male voice spoke, “Chairman Xu, don’t know if you remember me from Great Wilderness, Huo Shen.”

“Yo! Isn’t it Great Wilderness’s local tyrant? What made you call me. It’s rather daunting for this kid.”

Xu Shaochen said playfully with underlying mockery.

“Chairman Xu, you jest. I’m currently in Jiangzhou hoping you’ll grant a meeting. Last time there was a misunderstanding and I’ve personally brought back those friends.”

Huo Shen said calmly never mentioning Huo Chuan.

“Sorry Mr. Huo I’m quite busy lately no time. Maybe in a few days as the host I can welcome you.”

Xu Shaochen spoke sincerely almost sounding genuine.

“Chairman Xu, I’ve come all the way from the Wilderness. Can’t you give me this courtesy?”

Huo Shen couldn’t afford more delays fearing Huo Chuan being sentenced soon.

“Sorry Mr. Huo you really hold no face here. This is Jiangzhou.”

With that Xu Shaochen ended the call then dialed Zhang Qiang.

“Mr. Xu.”

Soon Zhang Qiang’s respectful voice sounded from the phone.

“Contact Great Wilderness Group’s high-level management. Those who wish to take control can act. If short on Money I’m willing to lend.”

Huo Shen had been confined to the Wilderness for years without expanding. Xu Shaochen didn’t believe no one within the company resented him.

After all, most people have endless ambition wanting more Money and higher status.

But Huo Shen refused to lead everyone to prosperity, instead living like a hermit during prosperous times.

Gratitude turning to resentment especially when Huo Shen wasn’t a benefactor merely a partner.

Undoubtedly, Huo Shen became a stumbling block on their path to wealth hindering them.

In the past Huo Shen’s strong authority kept everyone in check daring not act rashly.

Now Huo Shen is gone and Xu Shaochen has ways to keep him away from the Wilderness for quite some time.

Those dissatisfied with Huo Shen can now make their move.

Xu Shaochen is a vengeful person.

Often choosing not to immediately retaliate.

But best not to give him a chance.

Otherwise, even if it’s detrimental, he’d still ensure the enemy is ruined.

Not for anything else, just for satisfaction.
