Chapter 692: True Audacity
How could his boss act so childishly? Could someone please make him stop?
Huo Tingrui recalled a matter and asked instead. “When the stupid Wu girl appeared on the program, wasn’t she partners with some girl from the Shen family?”
The moment the assistant heard the way Huo Tingrui referred to Wu Miao and Shen Si, he felt powerless.
It was one thing if Huo Tingrui could not remember Wu Miao’s name, but Shen Si was an award-winning actress after all.
The assistant sighed before he nodded. “That’s right.”
Huo Tingrui rapped his fingers on the table gently. “The Shen family? Very well, she has given me yet another reason to take her out.”
The assistant went speechless.
This was absolutely insane!
If he told Huo Tingrui exactly what the Shen family had to say about the situation, his boss would probably explode and punch someone right away.
The assistant scratched his head and felt hesitant to speak.
Huo Tingrui narrowed his eyes as he looked at his assistant. “What are you hesitating about?”
“Do you really want to know?” asked the assistant rhetorically in a cautious tone.
He detected that Huo Tingrui was about to lose his patience, so he cleared his throat and hurriedly came clean with what the Shen family had said.
“The Shen family told us to stop charging Wu Miao before things get out of hand. If we stop now, it is not too late for you to be friends with the Shen family. They warned you to consider your place in society if you insist on charging her...”
The assistant stepped back when he sensed the murderous aura radiating from Huo Tingrui after he said this.
Huo Tingrui scoffed. His refined face seemed particularly harmless as he nodded and laughed. “Stop before it is too late? Consider my status? It certainly sounds like a threat to me.”
The assistant had served Huo Tingrui for three years now. Even though he did not know everything that there was to know about Huo Tingrui, he had a good idea of what he was like. Each time Huo Tingrui smiled this way, someone was bound to get into trouble.
Although Huo Tingrui was an excellent attorney, but... never mind. He should just stop talking.
Huo Tingrui waved his hand and gestured for his assistant to leave.
Huo Tingrui contemplated for a few minutes after the assistant left before he took out his phone and sent a text message: [Uncle Changfeng, do we have any business with the Shen family?]
Two minutes later, Huo Changfeng replied: [Who are the Shens?]
Huo Tingrui hurriedly replied: [The Shen family from the capital.]
Huo Changfeng said: [Oh. They are just a small family and aren’t good enough for us.]
Huo Tingrui went speechless: [...]
Huo Tingrui held his phone as he looked at Huo Changfeng’s replies. He should really let his assistant have a look at this so that he could see what a truly audacious man looked like.
Huo Changfeng contemplated briefly and felt that Huo Tingrui would not have asked about the Shen family for no reason, so he continued: [What’s wrong?]
Huo Tingrui’s eyes landed on the returned legal letter. He was undecided about whether to tell Huo Changfeng about it. If he told Huo Changfeng about it, it would be very embarrassing for him.
He rubbed the phone screen before he replied: [Nothing really. Since someone related to the Shen family posted Yao’s private information online, I wanted to know a bit about them.]
Huo Changfeng was abroad doing business when Huo Yao’s personal information got posted on social media. After he came back, he noticed that Young Master Tingrui had already taken care of it, so he did not interfere in the matter.
From the looks of it, Huo Tingrui had yet to take care of this.
