“Uncle Qin, I will not mince words. Fire them all. Forget about their upcoming salary, think of it as compensation for the furniture.”
Butler Qin was flustered. “Young Master, perhaps we should consult with Madam first?”
Huo Yunting halted his footsteps. He turned around slowly and fixed a gentle gaze on Butler Qin until the older man shuddered.
“If you think you should disturb Grandma just because of this small matter, you must think that I don’t even have the right to fire a few servants in the house. I can always fire you instead, Butler Qin, to make up for their mistakes. Shall I?”
He took out his phone in response.
Butler Qin quickly waved in objection. “Please don’t, Young Master, I’ll arrange for their departure right now!”
“Young Master, please don’t!”
“Sob, Young Master, I was wrong. It was all Man’s fault! She persuaded us to treat the Young Miss horribly, Young Master!”
Huo Yunting could not care for their noisy protests. He walked to his car without looking back.
He knew what he saw and what had transpired. He had no interest in the reason for their actions.
No one but him could bully his wife. Anyone else would have to answer to him!
…
On the way back, both Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang did not say a word. They remained hopelessly silent in the car and later, on the plane.
Lu Zhaoyang did not want to speak with him. She knew that he was not as busy as he had described earlier despite the approaching New Year, what with so many secretaries to assist him.
Only Huo Yunting could convince old Mrs Huo so effortlessly.
When the plane finally landed, Lu Zhaoyang left the place first.
She never thought of setting eyes on this place again when she left, but now…
Here she was, right where she had made her escape.
Even the person she was escaping from was with her now. The man in question quietly walked past her.
Lu Zhaoyang looked at Huo Yunting and followed behind him without a word.
The car was not too spacious, but they avoided physical contact throughout the journey home.
Lu Zhaoyang pressed herself against the car door. Huo Yunting sat on her right side and stole a glance at her.
Why was she staring outside so intently? What was there to see?
His gaze moved toward the space between them. A cold smile appeared on his face. He did not try to close the distance.
When the car stopped in front of their familiar looking mansion, Lu Zhaoyang exited the car and went into the house before him.
She thought bitterly to herself that staying at Huo Yunting’s place was not as bad as it would seem. At the very least, she would only have to deal with one person here. Back in the Huo residence, everyone in the house treated her badly.
Put in that way, her return to this house was actually a good thing, right?
Lu Zhaoyang stepped into the mansion and find that nothing much had changed aside from the slight drop in temperature.
Before she could go any further, a powerful hand pulled on her arm, dragging her upstairs.
Lu Zhaoyang did not protest. Her arm hurt, but she bit down her teeth and endured.
Back in the familiar bedroom, Huo Yunting threw her onto their bed and pressed her firmly against the mattress with his hands. His eyes were glowing with thinly veiled anger.
“I have only one question for you, Lu Zhaoyang. Did you sleep with him?”
