Chapter 513: It Turned out That He Can Be so Cruel to Other People
He Xuanyao refused to believe that the headquarter of Tianyu Group needed their own people to fill in their questionnaires.
Even her family’s company had other people doing the data-collecting, let alone a huge company like Tianyu.
She didn’t want to do the job, so her ugly superior had told her to leave. She didn’t want to leave either, not like that, at least. She hadn’t shown Huo Jinyao her ability yet. How could she leave?
She tried so hard and even begged some people. Finally, she collected the information needed. However, the ugly man said the information she had collected was unreliable, as there was too little data.
What did he mean by that? The man definitely did that on purpose. She, He Xuanyao, wasn’t stupid.
The same thing happened today. The man said the data she had collected couldn’t be used, so she needed to do repeat the work once again.
He Xuanyao had a fight with her superior downstairs earlier on. She told him that she was going to quit, and then quickly left.
However, she recalled what Liu Tongjia had said to her, and didn’t have the heart to leave for real.
She pondered upon her current situation, then decided to come upstairs to see Huo Jinyao and ask for an explanation.
“In what capacity are you talking to me?” Huo Jinyao looked at her and asked with a very cold attitude.
“I’m simply talking to you. What do you mean by in what capacity?” He Xuanyao was very angry.
“Oh.” Huo Jinyao looked at He Xuanyao as if looking at an idiot and said, “If you’re talking to me as an employee, you can write what you want to say to me in a report and give it to your superior, then ask him to hand it to me. If you’re talking to me, not as one of my employees, I’m sorry, there’s nothing to be said between you and me.”
“Huo Jinyao.”
He Xuantong lived like a princess since she was little. All the pain she suffered was because of Huo Jinyao.
“Why are you doing this to me? I did nothing wrong. I’m just fond of you.”
“Since you are fond of me, do I have to do what you want?” That definitely sounded ridiculous.
“Besides, I have a wife. Don’t you know that already?”
“She’s not good enough for you,” He Xuanyao said, growing irritated. “Not even your mother likes her. How can such a woman be good enough for you?”
“And you’re good enough for me?” Huo Jinyao mercilessly scanned He Xuanyao’s body with his eyes. He then said with a cold look, “Miss. He, I guess you didn’t look at yourself in the mirror before you left home today.”
He Xuanyao almost cried. She never thought that Huo Jinyao could be so sharp-tongued.
“I am Li Junsheng’s cousin after all. You and my cousin are such good friends. How can you bully me like this?”
“Junsheng is my friend, but you are not. If you keep being unreasonable, I’m not gonna show you any more respect, not even for the sake of Li Junsheng.”
The look on his face told He Xuanyao that he meant what he had said.
He Xuanyao burst into tears, then turned and left without looking back.
Yang Wenchang and Ding Qing were both there at the scene when Huo Jinyao was talking to the girl.
Yang Wenchang already knew that Huo Jinyao would give He Xuanyao a hard time. It was him who had told Zhang to be mean to the girl, actually.
Unlike him, it was the first time Ding Qing was seeing that side of Huo Jinyao. She stood there motionlessly, staring at Huo Jinyao.
It turned out that he could be so cruel to a woman who was not his wife. Ding Qing wasn’t expecting that.
Huo Jinyao was never too nice to her but was always polite to her. She believed in her own ability, after all. Occasionally, she even got Huo Jinyao’s compliment.
At that very moment, she realized that Huo Jinyao was quite nice to her, even though she generally found him cold and strict.
Huo Jinyao found his secretary in a daze. With a slight frown, he asked, “Miss. Ding, is something wrong?”
“I’m sorry, President Huo,” said Ding Qing, apologizing as quickly as possible. “I’m really sorry. I tried to stop her but she just wouldn’t listen to me.”
“It’s okay. It had nothing to do with you.”
Thinking about the call he had received earlier, Huo Jinyao had no mood to worry about He Xuanyao anymore.
If she wanted to stay, she would have to follow the rules of Tianyu Group, and if she wanted to leave, Huo Jinyao would happily let that happen.
“Oh, President Huo, I’ve put the materials on your desk. You see...”
“I’m gonna deal with it now.” Huo Jinyao walked straight into the office. Ding Qing dropped her eyelids, stopped thinking about anything other than work and followed Huo Jinyao into the office.

Old Master Li only planned to throw a small party to celebrate his birthday this time.
He only invited his cousins, their children, and grandchildren. It was pretty much the same people Su Qingsang had invited the last time.
Li Qianxue had prepared a room for Su Qingsang, but that was because she thought Su Qingsang would come back together with Huo Jinyao.
Since Huo Jinyao didn’t show up, she, of course, asked Su Qingsang to sleep together with her. The two of them spent almost the whole night chatting.
They were so close that Su Yuxin looked like he was full of jealousy the next morning when he saw them.
“Mom, don’t you love me anymore? You haven’t been talking to me since my sister got home.”
Seeing her son’s envious face, Li Qianxue poked his forehead with a finger and asked, “how old, are you? How can you still be jealous of your sister? You’re a boy! Aren’t you aware of that? What? Do you still need mama to hush you to sleep?”
Su Yuxin put an arm around Li Qianxue’s arm and said, “mom, I’m really jealous of her. You’re allowed to pick your favorite child, so I am allowed to be jealous.”
Su Qingsang laughed after hearing that. “Don’t be jealous of me. I’ll only be here for a few days. I’ll give mom back to you after that.”
Then, she put on a serious face, looked at Su Yuxin and said sadly, “my little brother, I won’t come home again if I’m not welcomed by you.”
“Don’t say that! I was just joking.” Su Yuxin hurriedly put an arm around her shoulders and said, “don’t take it to heart, sister.”
Su Qingsang looked at his hand which was on her shoulder and burst in laughter. “I was joking too. Don’t take it to heart.”
“I can’t believe you did that!”
While speaking, Su Yuxin attempted to tickle Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang, of course, didn’t let him do that.
She gave a small scream and rushed downstairs.
Su Yuxin followed closely behind her. Li Qianxue watched her children play around with each other as if they had always been this close.
She turned up the corners of her lips in a smile. She loved how she felt at that moment. It was so perfect. If only Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin could keep her company forever.
However, she was aware that it was an unrealistic wish. Su Qingsang was already married. She was a part of the Huo Family too.
Su Yuxin was still young, but he had already been recommended for an admission to a college. He would be leaving home to study soon.
She would be all alone again when he grew up and left home.
That thought lingered in her head until she went downstairs and saw Su Yuxin and Su Qingsang sitting together.
Wherever they would go in the future, they would always be her children. At least right now, they were both with her. That was enough for her already.
