After Learning How to Read Minds, Mr. Huo Takes Me to Bed Every Night!

Chapter 25: Are You Sure It Was a Mistake?

Secretary Tao was displeased when he saw that the Lin family was heartless. Then, he braced himself and walked to the two people at the door. He said to Huo Jiuxiao elegantly, "Mr. Huo, Miss Lin didn't mean to offend you. Please be magnanimous."

Huo Jiuxiao shifted his gaze to Secretary Tao and asked, "Are you pleading for her?"

Cold sweat broke out in everyone's hearts as if they were watching a horror movie.

"Mr. Huo..."

"There's no need for that." Huo Jiuxiao interrupted Secretary Tao. Then, he turned around and said to Lin Wanli in front of everyone, "Wait for me outside."

"Okay." Lin Wanli nodded.

It was a very short conversation, but it made everyone excited.

What did he mean?

Did they know each other?

Not only did he know her, but his tone...

Were they very familiar with each other?

"You know each other?" Secretary General Tao asked.

This time, Lin Wanli nodded generously. "I have a deal with Mr. Huo. Thank you for your speaking up for me, Secretary General Tao."

Huo Jiuxiao smiled playfully when he heard her say the word "deal".

There was a deal, and it was the most unclear kind.

Lin Wanli walked away, and Huo Jiuxiao said, "It won't be long."

Who had ever seen Huo Jiuxiao speak so politely to a woman? This was not only polite but also considerate.

People were immersed in the story of him killing as he pleased every day. He could even easily break a woman's neck and arm, but he was very polite in front of Lin Wanli.

What was even more surprising was that Lin Wanli actually dared to do business with Huo Jiuxiao?

Was this not taking money from the King of Hell's pocket?

...

The atmosphere in the hall was initially slightly eased by Lin Wanli's presence, but now that Lin Wanli had left, everyone fell into a dead silence.

That night was too exciting for everyone.

Logically speaking, a King of Hell should be vulgar and full of a bandit aura, but this was obviously not practical for Huo Jiuxiao. The navy blue suit was too suitable for him, and the noble air that he had been influenced by since he was young could not be concealed. His facial features were sharp and distinct, making him unforgettable. His extremely cold pupils seemed to hide a sharp blade.

The scene was too noisy, and Huo Jiuxiao's frustration was etched on his face.

If it was not for Song Huaishu carrying the gift box behind him, others would have thought that he had come today to exterminate his family.

"Mr. Huo, I don't think the Old Madam has offended you." After all, Old Madam Lin was still confident that he would not dare to do anything today because of her relationship with Huo Jiuxiao's Grandma. Therefore, his tone was very calm.

"It's a misunderstanding. I'm just giving a gift on behalf of my elders." Huo Jiuxiao strode over to the Old Madam, and Song Huaishu handed her a gift box.

Mother Ye accepted the gift box with the Old Madam's permission. However, her eyes were telling Ye Zhenzhen to retreat and turn invisible.

"I wonder what kind of debt you have that you want to settle at the Old Madam's birthday party."

[Don't...No!] At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen, who was retreating behind the Old Madam, was praying and shouting in her heart. However, Huo Jiuxiao would not let her go.

"Miss Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Zhenzhen's body trembled when she was suddenly called out. Her face turned pale and she quickly explained, "It's... It's about me accidentally barging into Mr. Huo's room to look for Wanli on the morning of her accident."

"Are you sure it was a mistake?"

"Were you not... trying to catch us in the act of adultery?"

Huo Jiuxiao pressed on.

"Of course not. I was just worried about Ah Li, so I was anxious." Ye Zhenzhen shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"Who did you bring?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Zhenzhen shivered because she suddenly felt that Huo Jiuxiao's revenge might be this trial.

However, she could not escape. She could only answer truthfully, "With Ting Yang..."

After hearing her answer, the guests present, especially the female guests, looked enlightened.

"If that's the case, then Ye Zhenzhen's heart is really despicable! She's too vicious!"

"Why?" The men were puzzled.
