Chapter 263: Chapter 263 Where Does She Come From
Xing Quan knew this was a tough nut to crack, difficult to deal with, but he didn’t expect it would be this hard. In the end, he was still chased out the door by Song Xueqin wielding a broom.
Once in the car, he immediately pulled out his phone to report the outcome, "President Xiao, as you predicted, Ms. Song is very firm, refuses to compromise. She said unless..."
"Unless what?"
The man on the other end of the line was clearly somewhat anxious.
Xing Quan loosened the tie around his neck, "She said unless you are willing to give up everything you own, otherwise she won’t agree. President Xiao, what do you think..."
He had never heard of such conditions—most mother-in-laws can’t wait for their son-in-law to have a billion-dollar worth fortune, but this mother-in-law is adamant about having her son-in-law impoverished before she agrees—
This mother-in-law is really something else, completely unpredictable, what’s she even thinking?
"If that’s the case, I’ll just have to be forceful. In short, I’m determined to have her daughter!"
"..."
Xing Quan suddenly thought his boss was really powerful and domineering!
No, he’s always been like that—
...
After receiving Huohuo’s call, Huo Chen immediately rushed to Qingcheng City, not daring to waste a single moment!
The moment he got off the plane, he went straight to Song Xueqin, asking anxiously, "Xueqin, what happened for you to rush me over so urgently?"
Song Xueqin didn’t respond immediately, her expression was extremely serious, making Huo Chen increasingly worried.
He turned to look at his daughter nearby, "Huohuo, did you do something bad? Hurry and confess."
"No way! I’ve been behaved all along, didn’t do anything bad, I didn’t even look for Jin Bao Yan, haven’t gone out at all..."
"Is it really not because of you?"
Huo Chen was a little skeptical. His daughter could be a handful, enough to drive one crazy!
Huo Huohuo looked innocent, "Dad, it’s really not me!"
"Then what on earth is—"
"Huo Chen, stop guessing, it’s not because of Huohuo, it’s because of Song Song—"
Song Xueqin suddenly said.
Huo Huohuo felt vindicated, pouting, "Dad, did you hear that, it’s really not me, later you have to compensate me for emotional distress!"
Huo Chen smiled wryly, "You, always extorting me."
After saying this, he took a black card out of his suit pocket and tossed it into Huohuo’s hand, "Here, take this and obediently go back to your room, without my call, don’t come out!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I’ll leave now, you guys have a good chat—"
Huohuo took the card and quickly fled, being a little money grubber, she couldn’t resist such a black card. Looks like she can go out and have fun tomorrow.
Once only the two were left, Huo Chen’s gaze became gentle, "Xueqin, you should know I can’t refuse any of your requests, even if it means losing everything, even if you ask me to..."
"Shut up!"
Song Xueqin chided, "Stop talking about life and death, we should both live well."
"Mhm, live well, as long as you say so, I absolutely dare not die!"
With that, Huo Chen took her slender, soft hands and kissed them, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Huo Chen, I just want my daughter to have a normal life, a simple and peaceful life, but now... she’s married to a man who doesn’t match her, can you... help me get her back, okay?"
The man’s eyes were full of confusion, "Xueqin, that’s her own choice, we shouldn’t interfere. If Song Song feels happy, then that’s what matters."
"Maybe she’s happy now, but what about the future? A man like Xiao Jinghuai could very well become another Qiao—"
Huo Chen was surprised, "Xueqin, Xiao Jinghuai is quite a good son-in-law, you should be happy that Song Song managed to marry him."
Song Xueqin immediately pulled her hand back, "I don’t like it, with money comes a lot of trouble, having enough is enough."
Huo Chen frowned, still holding onto the same notion as before, believing money is the root of all evil. When everyone else longs for a different life, she only wishes for normalcy, thinking that normal life is the greatest happiness.
They’ve known each other for over twenty years, but to this day, he doesn’t even know where she comes from—
