Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The car stopped in front of the Gu Mansion, and Uncle Lu turned to Che Huan, ”Madam, we have arrived.”

Che Huan sat in the car, not getting out, ”Uncle Lu, please go see if there’s anyone around.”

Uncle Lu got out of the car, walked to the door, and found it locked.

He came back to the car and looked at Che Huan, ”Madam, no one is there, and the main gate is locked.”

Che Huan acknowledged with a sound, sitting there, gazing through the car window at the Gu Mansion, pondering how she could get hold of the diary.

After a while, Uncle Lu looked at Che Huan, ”Madam.”

Che Huan looked at Uncle Lu, ”Let’s go back.”

Meanwhile, at the exact same time, Huo Jinnan received an email that contained a recording and two photographs.

Huo Jinnan looked down at them. One photo showed a black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the Gu Family home, and the other captured the moment Uncle Lu stepped out from the driver’s seat, revealing half of Che Huan’s face in the back seat—crystal clear, perhaps unrecognizable to others, but he recognized her instantly.

After downloading the attachment that included the recording, his slender fingers fetched a Bluetooth earpiece from his pocket and placed it to his ear. He listened intently to the conversation between Che Huan and Huo Jinxue.

As he listened, a slight curve appeared on his lips, and he softly chuckled, closing his phone and setting it aside.

Yu Zimu was discussing a crucial point when he heard the laugh. Looking up, he saw that Huo Jinnan wasn’t paying any attention to what he was saying, and was instead smiling at his phone!

”Huo Jinnan, are you even listening to me?”

Huo Jinnan lifted his gaze and glanced at Yu Zimu, ”The economic contract disputes that the court accepted should first be sent to the Economic Contract Center of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce for mediation. After the mediation, once both parties reach an agreement, they must fulfill it. If one side fails to do so, the other has the right to sue in court, right?”

”...”

Yu Zimu stared at Huo Jinnan, speechless for a moment.

”Got nothing to say? Continue.”

Huo Jinnan returned his focus to his phone, replied, ”Poor photography skills—don’t take pictures of my wife again. Remember to check the lawyer’s letter tomorrow.”

Yu Zimu, feeling thwarted, continued talking while Huo Jinnan seemed engrossed with his phone.

After a moment, Huo Jinnan looked up at Yu Zimu, his voice low and sensuously alluring, ”Why the hurry? In this day and age, aren’t debtors the real masters?”

”...”

Yu Zimu looked at Huo Jinnan, completely dumbfounded. The seductive tone of the voice and the content of speech were such a mismatch! He couldn’t believe that Huo Jinnan would say something like that!

Huo Jinnan stood up, ”That’s it, the payment isn’t due for another 168 days. Take it slow, no rush.”

Yu Zimu stayed seated, watching Huo Jinnan leave his office, then shrugged at Shen You.

Shen You said nothing.

As Yu Zimu remembered the last time Huo Jinnan gave Huo Jinyun ten billion, he thought, ”Well, Huo Jinnan is capricious with his wealth.”

Shen You turned to Yu Zimu, ”Mind your tactics.”

”Wear them down?”

Yu Zimu pondered and then realized the meaning behind Huo Jinnan’s parting words, and looking toward Shen You, he had an epiphany.

He leaned close to Shen You, whispering a few words.

Shen You smiled, ”Pulling the rug out from under them, ruthless.”

Yu Zimu relaxed back into his leather chair, ”They started it by not playing fair. Remember when we first started in this line of work, Huo Jinnan used this same tactic.”

------------Yunqi Academy------------

After leaving the Jindong Building, Huo Jinnan checked his watch—it was just the right time.

He drove to the entrance of Yucai Kindergarten, where he saw Uncle Lu’s car. His black Bentley rolled past and stopped next to the Rolls-Royce.
