Chapter 258 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 9
Xue Ling packed her things slowly, and after she finished, she looked reluctant to leave and said she wanted to talk to Xue Lan for a while.
Xue Lan couldn't bear to part with her daughter. Thinking that she would have fewer opportunities to see her after her daughter moved out, she couldn't help but nag her for a while, telling her to take good care of herself.
Xue Ling lingered until it was almost dark before she heard Huo Chen return and prepared to leave.
She came out of the room carrying the last bag of luggage, and her eyes lit up when she saw Huo Chen going upstairs.
After listening to Xue Lan ramble on for a while, she said to Xue Lan, "Mom, I've lived in the Xu family for so many years, and now that I'm leaving, I should say goodbye to Miss Xu and thank her."
Although Xue Ling has been acting a bit strange lately, in Xue Lan's heart, she is still the same obedient and well-behaved daughter. Since Xue Ling acted very sensible today, she didn't think much of it.
"Then go ahead, but speak politely and don't upset the young lady again. I'll help you take your luggage out first."
Because of Xue Lan's influence, Xue Ling was not stopped from going upstairs.
Xue Ling wasn't really going to say goodbye to Yun Qing; she wanted to talk to Huo Chen one last time before leaving.
*
After going upstairs, Huo Chen went directly to the study.
He turned on his computer, but instead of starting work, he absentmindedly lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
A short while later, the study door was suddenly opened. He frowned and looked over, only to see Yun Qing standing at the door holding a fluffy white thing, looking disgusted and refusing to go inside.
Huo Chen paused for a moment, then quickly put out his cigarette and got up to open the window for ventilation.
Then he turned around and asked, "Is there something you need, Miss?"
Yun Qing walked up to him and shoved the things she was holding into his arms.
Huo Chen reached out and caught it, feeling a small, fluffy, and warm ball in his hand. He looked down and met a pair of round, cat-like eyes.
Yun Qing raised her chin and said, "Its name is Xiao Chengzi, and you will be responsible for taking care of it from now on."
Yunqing had been playing with a cat today, and on the way back, she got into the mood and actually bought a cat.
She reached out and scratched Little Orange's chin, saying, "Little one, Mommy's telling you, from now on you're his master!"
Huo Chen's gaze lingered on her hand for a moment longer.
Little Orange seemed to understand, meowed, patted Huo Chen's hand with its little paw, raised its fluffy little chin, and stared at him with a cool and aloof look.
Huo Chen: ...
The kitten didn't have much of an imposing presence, but for some reason it reminded him of the saying "like master, like pet."
Little Orange seemed to be angry because it didn't get a response. Suddenly, it bristled and bared its teeth at him, then raised its little paws and gave him a good cat punch, but it didn't actually use its claws, so it was completely harmless.
Huo Chen: ...It looks even more like it now.
Yun Qing reached out and gently patted Xiao Chengzi's paw, commanding, "Lie down!"
Xue Ling first went to Huo Chen's room, but received no response when she knocked on the door, so she went to the study instead.
As soon as she approached the study, she heard Yun Qing's imperious voice, and anger welled up in her heart.
Does Xu Yunqing really treat Huo Chen like her pet dog?
"Xu Yunqing! Don't go too far!"
She suddenly yelled, startling Xiao Chengzi so much that she almost fell off Huo Chen's hands.
Yun Qing was furious and grabbed the ashtray from Huo Chen's desk, smashing it over his shoulder.
"Ah!" Xue Ling screamed in fright and quickly hid behind her.
Xue Lan put her luggage in the car and came back to hear Xue Ling scream. Her face changed and she quickly ran upstairs.
Upstairs, Xue Ling was terrified, her face turning pale, and she trembled with anger. "Xu Yunqing, this is murder!"
That's an ashtray. If it hits someone on the head, they'll be bleeding profusely.
Xue Lan and her bodyguard arrived one after the other. Seeing the situation, she asked anxiously, "Miss, what happened?"
Yun Qing's face turned cold as she said, "Ask your good daughter."
Xue Lan looked at Xue Ling and asked urgently, "Xiao Ling, what happened? Didn't you come to say goodbye to the young lady?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Saying goodbye to me? You come to Huo Chen's study to say goodbye to me, and then accuse me of going too far? Xue Ling, the surname here is Xu, not Xue."
Xue Lan's face turned ugly, and she slapped Xue Ling across the face, "Apologize to the young lady!"
Xue Ling covered her face, looking at Xue Lan in disbelief. "Mom! Do you know what she did? You hit me without even understanding what happened?"
Xue Lan said angrily, "I only let you go upstairs because you said you wanted to say goodbye to the young lady. What have you been doing? Is the study a place you can just come and go as you please?"
Xue Ling didn't explain why she came to the study, but angrily said, "Wasn't it too much for her to make Huo Chen kneel down? Did you know she hit me with an ashtray? You don't know anything, you only know how to favor your young lady. I don't have a mother like you!"
Huo Chen looked down at Xiao Chengzi, who also looked at him blankly, wondering who was lying down.
Xue Lan swayed and almost lost her balance. She never imagined that one day her well-behaved and sensible daughter would say such things to her.
While reading the novel, Xue Ling always felt that Xue Lan treated the original owner of the body, Xue Ling, badly.
However, in reality, Xue Lan loved her daughter very much, and Xue Ling herself understood her mother's difficulties.
Her mother was just a nanny for the Xu family. She was living under someone else's roof in the Xu family. The Xu family taking her in was already a kindness, and she was very grateful.
Even though the young lady was a bit spoiled and sometimes bullied her, she didn't actually hate her. She just tried to avoid her to avoid upsetting her.
Later, she became entangled with Xie Mingxiao, and was powerless to resist. She even attempted suicide out of guilt for feeling sorry for the young lady.
As the female protagonist of a tragic novel, the original owner of the body, Xue Ling, may have been a bit weak-willed, but it is undeniable that she was kind.
However, in Xue Ling's eyes, she only felt that the original owner of Xue Ling was weak and incompetent, and that Xue Lan, as her mother, did not protect her daughter at all and was biased towards Xu Yunqing.
She had originally thought that since she had taken over the original owner's body, it wouldn't hurt to take care of her mother for her.
As a result, Xue Lan treated her this way, so from then on, she just pretended that she didn't have a mother!
After Xue Ling finished speaking, she looked at Yun Qing and said coldly, "Xu Yun Qing, don't be too arrogant. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Huo Chen with heartache, wanting him to take care of himself, but she met Huo Chen's gloomy and ruthless eyes instead.
For a moment, Xue Ling even had the illusion that he might snap her neck at any moment.
She was startled, her heart skipped a beat, and for the first time truly felt the ruthlessness of the villainous boss.
However, she quickly calmed down.
Because she felt that Huo Chen's ruthlessness was not directed at her, but at Xu Yunqing.
This precisely illustrates that Xu Yunqing's good days are coming to an end.
Thinking about it this way, her anger subsided considerably. Ignoring the heartbroken Xue Lan, she turned and left.
Yun Qing's mood was ruined, and she also disliked Huo Chen. After kicking him, she left.
Little Orange, perhaps having learned it from its owner, also kicked Huo Chen with its hind legs.
Huo Chen squeezed its paw and warned in a deep voice, "I won't tolerate you."
Not only was Little Orange not scared, but she also bristled and meowed at him, sounding like she was cursing.
Huo Chen stared at it for a while, then finally reached out and ruffled its hair, whispering, "What a little devil..."
He sat down behind the desk with Xiao Chengzi in his arms, made a phone call, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said casually, "Isn't Xie Mingxiao asking who the little angel who saved him that day was? Tell him."
