Chapter 278 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 29
Huo Chen immediately abandoned his son, stood up, hugged Yun Qing, and asked, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Yun Qing said angrily, "It's all because of that bastard Xie Mingxiao. He went to the old man to complain, so I had to go and explain to him."
Huo Chen asked with a slight smile, "Are you afraid that the old man might really misunderstand me?"
Yun Qing rolled her eyes at him, and Huo Chen kissed her on the corner of her lips, comforting her, "Don't worry, the old man is very shrewd. If I really did something underhanded, it wouldn't be so easy to hide it from him. He knows what's going on."
Huo Chen said this without any guilt. Although he had indeed planned some things beforehand, he hadn't done them, had he?
I won't do it again.
Looking back now, his initial plan was indeed somewhat ungrateful.
Although the young lady had bullied him quite harshly in the past, he still harbored resentment.
But it's a fact that the old man was kind to him. If it weren't for the old man's guidance, he wouldn't know where he would be now. How could he think that the old man was just using him, like raising a dog?
The old man was clearly very good to him.
The fact that the young lady didn't dare to openly bully the old man in front of him, and was always afraid that he would complain, shows that if the old man knew that the young lady was bullying him like that, he definitely wouldn't ignore it.
Actually, before the old man fell ill, Miss Xu wouldn't have dared to go so far.
It was only after the old man fell ill and could no longer manage so many things, and since he had been living in a nursing home, that she intensified her humiliation of him.
Actually, if you really think about it, he also bears some responsibility.
He put himself in the position of a punching bag, thinking that Chairman Xu would definitely protect Xu Yunqing, so he kept quiet even when he was humiliated and bullied, keeping it all to himself.
Even the servants of the Xu family felt sorry for him, and Chairman Xu didn't care about this young master who wasn't even considered an adopted son.
So even though he sympathized with him, he didn't dare tell Chairman Xu about these things, fearing it would harm him instead. Besides, he, as the person involved, didn't want Chairman Xu to know either.
He remembered one time when Miss Xu was a bit too rough and he was seriously injured. The butler was going to tell Chairman Xu, but he stopped the butler.
Looking back now, Huo Chen actually has some doubts.
Although Chairman Xu dotes on his only daughter, he is not completely unable to distinguish right from wrong. Why did he assume that if Chairman Xu found out about these things, Chairman Xu would definitely hate him and his situation would become more difficult?
Although Miss Xu is arrogant, she is actually... cough... not very smart. Even if he doesn't want to openly rebel, he has plenty of ways to make her give him less trouble. So why is he doing nothing?
Hmm... it seems she's remembering Chairman Xu's kindness and is always giving in to her?
He harbored resentment and could not bear the humiliation he suffered from Miss Xu. Why didn't he simply leave the Xu family?
He seemed to feel that leaving the Xu family like this would be letting down Chairman Xu's kindness in nurturing him, and he also felt that if he dared to leave the Xu family, Chairman Xu would definitely try to kill him.
So when Chairman Xu was seriously ill, he did not take the opportunity to run away. Instead, he chose to stay in the Xu family and let Miss Xu bully him even more, allowing the resentment in his heart to accumulate and wear down the gratitude in his heart.
Then, taking advantage of Chairman Xu's poor health and inability to exert himself, and the fact that he trusted him even more, they attempted to seize control of the Xu Group.
Huo Chen: ? ? ?
He always remembered the kindness in his heart, yet he chose the most ungrateful path?
I always feel like I have a serious illness.
He glanced at Yun Qing, then hugged her and sighed, "It's really a pity for you, Miss, to like this crazy person like me."
Yun Qing: ...You're acting so strangely, it really seems like you're crazy.
However, seeing his listless appearance, she still reached out and patted his head to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, the snake spirit might transform into a dragon if she cultivates hard. I like dragons."
Huo Chen's eyes instantly turned mournful. "No wonder your studio is full of dragons, but I've never seen you paint me."
Yun Qing stared at him thoughtfully, her eyes growing brighter and brighter. Suddenly, she said, "Wait here, I'll go draw it now!"
Huo Chen quickly grabbed her arm, "Aren't you going to the sanatorium? You should have breakfast first."
"I'll be quick."
Yun Qing excitedly ran into the art studio.
Huo Chen's arms were empty, and his mood wasn't so good anymore. He looked down at Xiao Chengzi, who was still eating canned food, and said with a stern face, "All you know is eating. Can't you see how hard Mommy works? How can you still eat!"
Little Orange looked completely bewildered.
Fortunately, Huo Chen wasn't crazy enough to steal its canned food, otherwise Little Orange would have really fought him to the death!
Huo Chen answered a phone call and turned around to see Yun Qing coming downstairs. "So fast?"
Yun Qing handed him the drawing paper she was carrying in a very good mood.
Huo Chen looked down and saw that it was a Q version of himself, which was drawn simply but vividly.
He had a pair of cute dragon horns on his head, and his face looked pitiful, but his dragon tail was almost pointing to the sky. Overall, he looked smug no matter how you looked at him.
Yun Qing raised her chin and asked, "How is it? Isn't it beautiful? I wish you success in your cultivation soon and that you will transcend the tribulation and transform into a dragon."
Huo Chen: ...
He couldn't help but say sourly, "Miss, is it because you like dragons that you wish I could turn into one?"
Yun Qing, though unconvinced, retorted confidently, "Is that not allowed? I don't even like it when other people turn into dragons!"
Huo Chen: ...I can't do that either!
"Young Miss, Long Du is a womanizer; he falls in love with every woman he sees. He's not a good person..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing kicked him, yelling, "Shut up! Believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Huo Chen felt a pang of sadness; what he said was true!
Otherwise, how come the nine sons of the dragon are all different? Because they all have different mothers!
The young lady won't even let me say it. How much of a filter does she have on dragons?
He finally understood: his young lady truly loved dragons, even more than she loved Little Orange.
But if you look at it from another angle, she likes dragons so much that she even drew dragon horns and tails on him, which is a way of showing that she likes him!
Huo Chen quickly calmed himself down.
The main reason was that he didn't feel much of a threat, and he figured a dragon wouldn't actually appear anyway.
Looking at the painting again, he thought it was really good, revealing the young lady's affection for him in every detail.
So he took out his phone and snapped photos of the painting, then set it as his lock screen image. As for his phone wallpaper, it had to be the young lady.
He carefully put the painting away and said, "I'll take it to hang in my office."
Yun Qing quickly grabbed him, "No, no, no! I just scribbled it down randomly. How can you hang it in your office? Aren't you ashamed!"
"I don't feel ashamed."
Yun Qing: But I don't want to die with you! I even signed it!
I'm a painter with some reputation, after all. If others saw this, wouldn't I lose face?
Yun Qing grabbed his hand, her expression serious, and said solemnly, "Hang it in my room, I want to see you every day!"
"I'm right here..."
"No refusals allowed!"
She snatched the painting from his hand and ran upstairs.
Huo Chen watched her retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips. He bent down and patted Xiao Chengzi's fluffy head, saying slowly, "Son, your mom still loves me the most, don't you think?"
Little Orange slapped him, bared her teeth at him, and turned her head to face him with her butt.
