Chapter 283 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 34
Xie Mingxiao was arrested, and Xue Ling finally regained her freedom.
Xue Lan somehow found out about her and quickly went to find her.
Seeing Xue Ling's haggard and thin appearance, she felt heartbroken and burst into tears. "Xiao Ling, why didn't you tell me? That beast Xie Mingxiao forced you. Tell your mother! If I had known, I would have risked my life to stop you from going with him."
She simply couldn't imagine what kind of torment Xue Ling had suffered during this time.
Although Xue Ling suffered a lot and was afraid and timid in front of Xie Mingxiao, she was quite temperamental in front of Xue Lan.
She shoved Xue Lan away as she tried to hug her, shouting excitedly, "Stop pretending! Don't you only have eyes for Xu Yunqing? Go and be all lovey-dovey with her! What am I, her daughter? How can I compare to the eldest daughter of the Xu family!"
Xue Lan looked distressed and said urgently, "No, Xiao Ling, how could you think that? I..."
Xue Ling interrupted her directly, her expression dark, and said, "Let me tell you! I've suffered so much because of Xu Yunqing! If you really love me as much as you say, you should avenge me."
Xue Lan opened her mouth, wanting to say that this matter had nothing to do with Yun Qing, and that it was all the fault of that beast Xie Mingxiao.
But she was afraid of upsetting Xue Ling again, so she could only skip the topic and coax Xue Ling gently for a while before Xue Ling finally went home with her, half-heartedly.

After having breakfast, Yun Qing took a walk with Xiao Chengzi in the garden for a while before heading to the art studio, when an uninvited guest arrived.
"Uncle Xie? What brings you here?"
Yun Qing sat down on the sofa and lazily told the maid to serve tea.
She appeared warm and hospitable, and her manners were impeccable, but her attitude completely disregarded people, making it clear that she was being disrespectful.
Xie Qin snorted coldly, his face gloomy, showing no intention of feigning friendliness.
The Xie family is in chaos right now. Xie Mingxiao has been arrested, which has affected the Xie family business. Xie Qin was already overwhelmed with problems.
At this time, Huo Chen seized the opportunity to suppress the Xie family to the death, leaving them no way out.
It's no wonder Xie Qin had a bad attitude.
"You've learned to put on an act! Did you learn it from that hypocrite Huo Chen?"
Xu Yunqing used to wear her heart on her sleeve and didn't know how to control her temper. She would never give a nice look to anyone she didn't like, let alone serve them tea.
In Xie Qin's eyes, Xu Yunqing was a good-for-nothing and easy to manipulate.
Old Man Xu is going to die eventually. Huo Chen, who is capable of protecting the Xu family, is disliked by Xu Yunqing. With a little effort, he can be dealt with.
Therefore, marrying into the Xu family is equivalent to gaining the Xu family's business.
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; there were many others who wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Xu family.
However, since Xu Yunqing only likes Xie Mingxiao, the Xie family has the best chance of becoming the winner.
I wonder how many people were so jealous of this that they made sarcastic remarks in his presence.
He was full of pride back then, never imagining that the Xie family would fall into such a state.
"A hypocrite?" Yun Qing raised an eyebrow. "It seems Huo Chen is quite polite to the Xie family?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qin was so angry he almost had a heart attack. Polite? He's practically bankrupted the Xie family!
Xie Qin was so angry that he didn't bother with beating around the bush and said directly, "Mingxiao told me to tell you that the child in Xue Ling's belly is not his."
Yun Qing calmly replied, "So?"
"I heard that Xue Ling is very protective of Huo Chen, and even dared to defy you, Miss Xu, for his sake. What do you think her motives are?"
Seeing Yun Qing's face darken, Xie Qin felt satisfied and relaxed a little. He said earnestly, "Yun Qing, I watched you grow up. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: don't be so foolish as to be sold out and still be counting the money for the seller."
He stopped there, and after saying that, he got up and left.
Yun Qing took out her phone and shouted, "Huo Chen, get back here right now!"
Her voice was loud, filled with barely suppressed anger.
Hearing this, Xie Qin, who was lingering outside the door and hadn't gone far, snorted coldly and finally quickened his pace and left.
Yun Qing tossed her phone, which had been stuck on a black screen, onto the sofa and beckoned her bodyguard over. "Go to the Xu family. You know what to do, right?"
The bodyguard nodded and said, "I know, I will definitely bring Mr. Huo back!"
Yun Qing felt a lump in her throat and glared at him, saying irritably, "You're really quite clever!"
bodyguard:???
"Huo Chen is busy right now. Won't bringing him back cause any delays?"
The bodyguard looked completely bewildered. "Then what am I supposed to do at the Xu family's?"
"It'll be fine if Huo Chen beats me up."
bodyguard:!!!
No! Why not?
The bodyguard seemed too confused, so Yun Qing, worried that he might not understand the situation, had to explain further.
"Xie Qin is determined to make me and Huo Chen turn against each other. He's getting on in years and it's not easy for him. I'm so kind, of course I should try to make the elder happy."
The bodyguard remained completely bewildered, still not understanding what she was up to.
Help! When did the young lady secretly grow a brain?
He's just a bodyguard, good only at using his fists, not at reading people's minds!
Will the young lady think he's too stupid and fire him?
Yun Qing crossed her legs, swung her toes in a good mood, and said slowly, "Xie Qin is probably unable to eat or sleep because of the Xie family's affairs. He's anxious and desperate. Now that he sees a glimmer of hope, let him be happy. When he thinks he has a chance to turn things around and is at his happiest, let him despair again."
She looked at her beautiful nails and said with a smile, "Xie Qin is getting on in years. He can't eat or sleep well, and he's worried sick. If his emotions keep fluctuating, he'll probably need to go to the hospital."
"With Xie Qin down, Huo Chen can save so much effort!"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the bodyguard, about to urge him to hurry up and get things done, but she saw that the bodyguard was looking at her with inexplicable fear, as if she were some kind of monster.
Yun Qing's face darkened. "What kind of look is that?"
The bodyguard quickly looked away, stood at attention, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Miss, after hearing what Xie Qin said, don't you have any doubts about President Huo?"
"Ha... Do I look like a fool? Do I know better than Xie Qin whether Huo Chen and Xue Ling are related?"
"Besides, what is my relationship with Huo Chen, and what is my relationship with Xie Qin? Do you think I would trust Xie Qin instead of Huo Chen? How stupid would you be!"
The bodyguard was truly incredulous; the young lady had really changed a lot.
He had watched Yun Qing go from hating Huo Chen to being extremely fond of him, and he couldn't understand why people could change so quickly.
Yun Qing waved her hand and said, "Stop rambling and get down to business. Try to act more convincingly."
"It's done. Your bonus will be doubled this month."
The bodyguard instantly became alert, shouting, "Mission accomplished!"
*
When Huo Chen saw Yun Qing's bodyguard coming to find him, his first reaction was worry, "What happened?"
The bodyguard explained the doubled bonus in great detail.
"Mr. Huo, it's like this, Xie Qin suddenly came to see Miss Xue and implied that the child in Xue Ling's belly is yours."
Huo Chen: ...What is that?!
The bodyguard continued, "He also told the young lady not to be so foolish as to be sold out and then count the money for her, and then the young lady called and told you to get out of here."
Hearing this, Huo Chen raised an eyebrow, glanced thoughtfully at the bodyguard, and then began to roll up his sleeves. "So, tell me, which cheek do you want me to slap?"
The bodyguard quickly said, "I haven't finished... Wait! How did you know the young lady wanted you to beat me up?"
Huo Chen curled his lips into a smile. "Isn't that simple? Because she wouldn't let you beat me up."
They called him and told him to get back, but he didn't answer the phone at all. Wasn't that just a show put on for Xie Qin?
If they specifically send their bodyguard on this trip and there's nothing else going on, then they definitely want to make this falling out a permanent thing!
Bodyguard: ...Suddenly I feel sad.
