At the same time, he was certain in his heart about one thing: today’s events at the company were entirely related to this sister; the cause was none other than last night’s matter. Additionally, it truly made him realize An Nan’s position in this brother’s heart. What puzzled him even more was how a man like Lin Mubai, who could have any woman he wanted, would fixate on a woman who wasn’t even particularly beautiful.
As a fellow leader of the group, he knew all too well that the Lin Group’s termination of cooperation with the Huo Group would considerably harm its vitality; no ordinary person would do such a thing. Yet that man did it anyway, leaving no time for a counterattack. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel fire.net
That day, he clearly saw Lin Mubai sitting calmly to the side, never expecting that he’d internalize everything and come for retribution.
At the door of the Lin Group’s CEO office, it wasn’t his first time there, yet for the first time, Huo Boxuan hesitated in his heart. He felt an impulse to abandon everything and turn away, but the heavy responsibilities of the Huo Family pressed down on him, leaving him no choice. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the office door before him.
Entering the office, Huo Boxuan immediately spotted his old friend behind the desk, absorbed in reading documents, and walked forward, "Mu Bai, I..."
However, his words were interrupted by the other’s cold voice, firm and decisive, leaving no room for rebuttal: "Mr. Huo, I know what you want to say, and I’ve asked you here only so you can see my stance. I can be persuaded to stop, but the Huo Family must do one thing for me."
"What thing?" Huo Boxuan’s face was filled with anxious unease.
"Make Huo Bingxuan leave the Huo Family." Though the words were as sharp as a knife, they came from someone’s mouth with still indifference.
In contrast, the person opposite him was not so composed, his face turning ashen in an instant.
Before he could speak, the cold voice continued, "I won’t accept any negative answer. Huo Boxuan, on account of us once being brothers, the Huo Family and Huo Bingxuan—you must choose one. I warned you from the start: don’t mess with my woman for nothing, but it seems no one in the Huo Family took my words seriously. Don’t blame me now for giving you such a difficult choice. Go back and think carefully; I’ll give you three days. If after three days you still have no answer, I don’t mind helping you choose."
After these words, the serene voice paused and then raised again, "By the way, if Huo Bingxuan leaves the Huo Family, please make an announcement in the newspaper."
Leaving the Lin Group filled with inner turmoil, Huo Boxuan paused near his car, feeling the weight of each step for the first time.
Having known Lin Mubai for so many years, he understood clearly the kind of person he was, and knew well that once Lin made a decision, he never changed it. This time, it seemed he truly had to make a difficult choice.
"Bing Xu, what should Brother do this time?"
Perhaps Huo Boxuan already had an answer deep in his heart, but the difficulty in making the decision persisted.
Seeing the figure emerging from the car, he gathered his complex thoughts and stepped forward.
