Gu Mochuan looked Qiao Wan up and down with extremely contemptuous eyes.
"You will eventually pay the price for riding two boats, Qiao Wan, don't be too proud."
Qiao Wan originally didn't want to argue with Gu Mochuan, but the two of them just completely let it go. It was useless to talk anymore.
What's more, being in the same space as this scumbag makes me feel disgusting.
However, Gu Mochuan kept pestering her endlessly, making her tireless.
No longer able to bear it, Qiao Wan was filled with anger, stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped it.
A slap hit Gu Mochuan on the face with great force. Gu Mochuan turned his head and raised his hand to touch the side of his face where he was slapped. His eyes were red and his expression was out of control, terrifyingly ferocious.
"Qiao Wan, you bitch, how dare you hit me!"
Seeing Gu Mochuan raise his hand high, a slap was about to fall heavily on Qiao Wan's face.
Suddenly, another strong hand pinched Gu Mochuan's wrist.
When he saw who was coming, his anger was extinguished as if by a basin of ice water. Gu Mochuan looked at Huo Yan in front of him in disbelief.
"Uncle, you..."
Qiao Wan originally wanted to bear the slap with her eyes closed. Mr. Huo was a nostalgic person and would not protect Gu Mochuan while watching her get beaten. She was confident that Gu Mochuan would pay double the price.
Moreover, as a person with a foreign surname, Gu Mochuan could only rely on Mr. Huo in the Huo family, and he could also take the first step to break Mr. Huo's filter on his grandson.
Unexpectedly, the expected pain did not come. Qiao Wan opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Huo Yan coming at some time and restraining Gu Mochuan who was about to use force.
Huo Yan let go of Gu Mochuan's hand and opened his mouth to question.
"What do you want to do?"
The implication is that he brought Qiao Wan back, and with him protecting her, how dare Gu Mochuan take action?
Facing Huo Yan, Gu Mochuan was as cowardly as a grandson. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He had heard about Huo Yan's many deeds. Even in the Huo family, Mr. Huo looked at his son with admiration.
"Uncle, don't be deceived by this woman, she, she just wants to use you to take revenge on me!"
Gu Mochuan did not dare to say anything wrong with Huo Yan, so he could only point the finger at Qiao Wan.
"Oh?" Huo Yan squinted his eyes slightly and put his hands in his pockets casually. Under the moonlight, his hair shone softly, and there were bright stars brewing in his eyes.
"She wants to take revenge on you, so there's no need to go to such trouble."
One sentence made Gu Mochuan break into cold sweat and soaked his back.
"Everyone can see how much revenue you, the director, have created for Huo's. If I hadn't cleaned up the mess, you would have packed up and left long ago."
Gu Mochuan had to admit this even if he didn't want to. He was able to achieve the position of director only because of Huo Yan, so he didn't dare to offend him.
"Yes, thank you uncle, I will ask you to take care of me in the future."
Qiao Wan looked at Gu Mochuan's wagging tail and begged for mercy, and felt it was ironic. It turned out that Gu Mochuan was just an empty shell who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
She was blind before, and was deceived by the persona Gu Mochuan created in front of her, thinking that he was down-to-earth and capable and a high-quality man worthy of trust.
Gu Mochuan, who has some real stuff, never knows how to kneel down in front of Huo Yan!
"Since you still expect me to take care of you, just do your part and forget about the rest."
Huo Yan's understatement made Gu Mochuan lose his temper a long time ago. Judging from his appearance, he still dared to care. He was afraid that Huo Yan would reach out and hit him on the left cheek, but he would not dare to stretch out his right cheek.
Gu Mochuan said yes again and again. He was so humble that he dared to be more arrogant.
After seeing a good show, Qiao Wan went over and took Huo Yan's arm with ease, showing a smile. Her long eyelashes fluttered up and down, and pear dimples bloomed on her cheeks, which was very charming.
"let's go."
The two of them left together, leaving Gu Mochuan staring at them with vicious eyes.
Along the way, Qiao Wan was very nervous and didn't know whether she should tell Huo Yan about Huo Jin's attempt to bribe her.
If she doesn't handle this matter well, her situation will be dire.
After a fierce mental struggle, Qiao Wan decided to tell Huo Yan.
After all, Huo Yan helped her a lot, and she couldn't hide anything for her own benefit.
"Mr. Huo, before Gu Mochuan, Huo Jin came to see me."
Qiao Wan was sitting in the passenger seat feeling uneasy and rubbing her fingers constantly. She hoped that her decision was correct and that Huo Yan could trust her.
"Um?"
Huo Yan's expression did not change throughout the whole process, but he slightly raised his thick eyebrows, signaling Qiao Wan to continue.
"He suspected that I was receiving benefits to cooperate with you in acting and wanted to bribe me. I... didn't agree." Qiao Wan organized her words and said truthfully.
For a long time, I didn't hear Huo Yan express his position.
Qiao Wan was surprised. Shouldn't Huo Yan confirm with her whether he was bribed? Why don't you speak?
She looked at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's profile is very beautiful, with his broken hair hanging down slightly, revealing his delicate and smooth jawline.
"Mr. Huo, if there is another time, how do you think you should deal with it?"
Qiao Wan asked uneasily, fearing that Huo Yan would really doubt her. After all, she agreed to Huo Yan for profit and to save the Qiao family. Huo Yan probably knew this very well.
Then in his mind, she might betray him for a small profit.
Although she took the initiative to tell this, Huo Yan could still see it as a trick to gain his trust.
Huo Yan is famous for his scheming, although he is not yet old.
It wasn't until Qiao Wan took the initiative to ask that Huo Yan came back to his senses.
"You can just handle this matter yourself. You don't have to ask my opinion on everything."
Qiao Wan was a little stunned by these words. Is it gone now?
The expected question did not come as expected, but Qiao Wan was unable to react for a while.
Huo Yan absolutely trusts her?
The car drove to the downstairs of the villa, and the servant opened the door to let the car in.
Qiao Wan returned to the room and asked the servant to put the bath water in. Huo Yan didn't come over, maybe he went to the study to work.
She took a beautiful flower petal bath by herself and went out wrapped in a red silk bathrobe.
The red color goes well with the skin color. Qiao Wan's exposed skin is as white as snow, and with a strand of semi-dry wet hair sticking to her cheek, she looks like a night elf.
She dried her hair and lay on the bed, reading a magazine out of boredom, when her cell phone rang.
Qiao Wan picked up her phone and saw that it was Qiao Yueshan calling her.
Qiao Wan hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hey, Dad, why did you think of calling me at this time?"
"Wanwan, it's almost ten o'clock now. Dad didn't disturb your rest, right?" Qiao Yueshan asked with concern. He was really worried that Qiao Wan would be too busy with the company's affairs.
"Yeah, I just went to bed and was about to go to bed. What's the matter?"
Qiao Wan was lying on the bed, with the quilt covering her waist and leaning to the side.
"How is the company's situation lately? Are those debt collectors still harassing me? If they make unreasonable demands, you have them go to court."
