Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: My Wife Ran Away, Are You Going to Compensate Me?
 

After hearing his words, Huo Xingzhou’s expression grew even uglier.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized something and said, “Sister-in-law must be mad at you. Just look at the comments online…” Zhou Yu told Huo Xingzhou everything about the Xingyue Foundation’s interview, as well as the words Su Weiwei had said that day.

Huo Xingzhou’s face turned darker and darker.

“She’s jealous! With you and Xu Xingluo pledge love and professing deep affection, it’s normal for her to feel uncomfortable.”

“She has nothing to do with me,” Huo Xingzhou gritted out.

“Telling me is useless! You need to explain it to Qiao Xi! She left in such a hurry, even the bodyguards weren’t notified.” Zhou Yu immediately sent over the location of Qiao Xi’s volunteer work.

“Make sure to sweet-talk your wife; I’ve prepared a box of nice things for you guys,” Zhou Yu said suggestively, “you’re in for a treat.”

His “nice things” were definitely more thrilling than the “Mrs. Happy.”

But Huo Xingzhou was no longer in the mood to listen to his jokes and hung up the phone directly.

“Chen Xun, book a flight ticket.”

Chen Xun had a troubled look on his face: “President Huo, there’s still a celebration banquet.”

“My wife has run away; are you going to compensate for that?” Huo Xingzhou asked coldly, with immense pressure.

Chen Xun dared not say another word and immediately took out his phone to book a first-class ticket. The Huo Family did have a private jet, but Huo Xingzhou has always been low-key.

Huo Xingzhou spoke in a heavy voice, suddenly bursting out, “Did she really not call?”

Chen Xun’s fingers stiffened, and he steadied his voice to reply, “No.”

He had already deleted the call history, and in the meantime, sent something to Xu Xingluo. She assured him that President Huo would not find out about it. This assistant job paid a salary of several hundred thousand a year, with a lot of room for advancement.

He was not yet willing to give it up.

“Chen Xun, you are in charge of the current work at the Xingyue Foundation. Was it you who agreed to make that interview public?” Huo Xingzhou asked casually, but Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat.

“It was me.”

“Delete it all over the internet; I don’t want to see any media promotion. From today, hand over the foundation’s work to Zhou Yu,” Huo Xingzhou said coldly.

Chen Xun’s lower lip trembled, “Yes.”

“Clarify with the media the true meaning of the name of the foundation, and explain the real significance of the words Xing and Yue. Do you think a foundation committed to caring for the elderly and the poor only deserves to become a vulgar romance gimmick?”

Huo Xingzhou’s tone was icy, and his powerful deterrent force turned Chen Xun’s face pale.

President Huo did not seem to like Miss Xu as much as expected; he actually intended to publicly humiliate her.

“I’m sorry, President Huo. I will take care of it,” Chen Xun complied with each directive, no longer entertaining any thoughts of resistance.

“Once the plane arrives at Haicheng Airport, first arrange a car for me. I’m going to Longtan Township,” Huo Xingzhou said indifferently.

That silly girl doesn’t feel secure; she’ll hide and cry.

“Alright.”

Before long.

The flight from the Imperial Capital to Haicheng took off.

Online, there was a new uproar because of the “Xingyue Foundation”.

The founder behind the scenes of the Xingyue Foundation turned out to be Huo Xingzhou, the CEO of Tianyuan Group!

Before netizens could exclaim, a clarifying announcement from the Tianyuan Group appeared out of the blue.

Tianyuan Group: “From now on, if there is no blazing fire, may it be like the glow of fireflies or the stars and moon shining faintly in the dark. As the nights drag on, the stars and the moon accompany us! May all who seek the light encounter it, and walk in its warmth! This is the original intent behind naming the Xingyue Foundation!”

“Rumors on the internet are not true; the choice of spokesperson is decided by the group’s senior management. If there is any scandal, they will be immediately discontinued; there is no lifetime contract!”

“Additionally, President Huo has decided to expand the foundation’s range of assistance to include families seriously impoverished due to illness or injury, with all medical expenses covered by the foundation after verification! To honor the elderly, pity the poor, save the dying, and help the injured! This is also the original intention of our Young Madam in practicing medicine!”

This announcement slapped Xu Xingluo’s face hard.

It also elevated Qiao Xi’s status.

She was a university student assisted by the Xingyue Foundation and, in the end, she gave back to the foundation.

“What a beautiful love story! The CEO of Tianyuan Group and the apprentice of the National Doctor, a powerful alliance! This is a living Bodhisattva!”

“I always said how could a foundation become someone’s pledge of love, slap in the face!”

“Xu Xingluo may be beautiful, but we love Doctor Qiao! She also participated in the City Hospital’s free clinic this time!”

In the midst of one-sided praise, there were also different voices.

“Our Xingluo would never lie. She and Huo Xingzhou were Haicheng’s golden couple; who knows if Huo Xingzhou could be accused of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. What about apprentice of the National Doctor, isn’t that just an overhyped marketing stunt?”

“Can a country girl compare with Haicheng’s number one socialite?”

In a luxurious villa, Tian Tian typed away fiercely, defending Xu Xingluo and belittling Qiao Xi.

She and Xu Xingluo were close as sisters, and Tian Tian’s heart ached for her predicament. The country girl used a wedding ritual to clinch the position of Young Madam Huo, leaving Xu Xingluo’s love unrequited.

On the other end of the internet,

Sun Weimeng hired hundreds of internet trolls to command: “Tear that user named ‘Sweet but Not Spicy’ to shreds! She’s blind and brainless, what’s so great about Xu Xingluo! Does she compare to a divine doctor?”

Internet comments were almost unilaterally in favor of praising Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi.

Compared to fighting and being jealous, the public was more concerned with livelihood issues, and they admired the vision of the Tianyuan Group.

They had unprecedented positive feelings toward Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi, while Xu Xingluo’s lovesick remarks seemed like the antics of a buffoon.

Tian Tian, seeing those comments cursing her, was livid.

She picked up her phone and dialed Xu Xingluo’s number.

“Xingluo! Have you been online? I’m going to be driven mad by these ignorant netizens, they have no idea what really happened! You and Huo Xingzhou are the true couple, they’re all singing praises of a provincial bumpkin!”

Tian Tian spoke rapidly, with an impassioned voice.

“The Xingyue Foundation was originally established for you, and Huo Xingzhou totally denies it! I bet it’s that country girl behind his back, whispering sweet nothings and manipulating him! She’s so scheming!”

“The misunderstanding and distance between you and Huo Xingzhou is only temporary! With you as the Xu Family’s heiress, who would really love a country bumpkin!”

After venting, Xu Xingluo on the other end of the phone looked displeased.

Xu Xingluo’s fingers were tense as she had, of course, seen the clarifying announcement online. She hadn’t expected Brother Xingzhou to be so heartless, to trample her dignity into the ground.

Even the ordinary netizens dared to mock her!

“Tian Tian.” She squeezed out a gentle smile, “Thank you for sticking up for me, but Qiao Xi… she’s too powerful! I really can’t outdo her, maybe Brother Xingzhou and I are just not meant to be.”

“How is that possible! You two are the most perfect match!” Tian Tian was their number one ‘ship’ fan, head over heels!

“I used to think so too. Brother Xingzhou likes cleanliness and has a bit of a cleanliness obsession. I’ve always been pure, with only him in my heart. Yet he’s still enchanted by Qiao Xi,” Xu Xingluo said with grievance.

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian suddenly had an idea.

“Xingluo, wait for my good news.” Tian Tian immediately hung up the phone, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

That country girl living in the backwoods of Longtan Township presented a heaven-sent opportunity.

Huo Xingzhou’s obsession with cleanliness was well-known in the circle, and he himself was not prone to philandering. Outsiders seeing Xu Xingluo by his side thought he was devoted.

But Tian Tian knew Xu Xingluo and Huo Xingzhou had never been intimate; when asked about it before, Xu Xingluo had shyly said she was waiting for their wedding night.

If…

A smile curled up on Tian Tian’s lips.
