She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 161 - : Just Talk to Mu Lan Directly

Chapter 161 -161: Just Talk to Mu Lan Directly

Empire Building’s top-floor CEO office.

Yunzhan, seeing Huo Tingxiao somewhat at a loss, couldn’t help but spout some trash talk, hoping he would buck up.

“Oh c’mon, isn’t it just Pei Zhao who has come back? Can’t we just talk things out? Don’t worry, baby, with me here, no one will let you be wronged, sweetheart.”

If it were any other time, Huo Tingxiao would have cursed out loud by now.

But today, he just sat there silently, making Yunzhan very anxious.

“What’s going on? Don’t scare me, is the situation that difficult?”

Huo Tingxiao slightly opened his eyes, looking at the still clueless Yunzhan.

“Pei Zhao will be in a wheelchair for life, his legs are ruined.”

Yunzhan couldn’t believe it and his eyes widened.

“What did you say? Pei Zhao’s legs are ruined? But wasn’t he supposed to go to Germany for treatment? How could it… So he disappeared because he thought you had arranged all this, thinking you had abandoned him?”

Huo Tingxiao lowered his eyelids, tacitly agreeing to Yunzhan’s words.

“Damn, why didn’t you clarify things? It clearly wasn’t your fault at the time! It was an accident nobody wanted.”

The point now isn’t about the accident, but that Pei Zhao’s legs are ruined and he can never recover.

Huo Tingxiao knew how proud Pei Zhao was; if it were himself, ending up disabled unexpectedly, he would probably…

“All these excuses of yours, let alone Pei Zhao listening, I can’t even stand hearing them myself.

Yunzhan, the person who should be in that wheelchair ought to be me, not Pei Zhao.

In fact, he’s right, I owe him too much.”

Yunzhan frowned, and the atmosphere suddenly grew heavy.

“After all, I’m not the person involved, I can only view things from an observer’s perspective.

The problem now is that Pei Zhao wants to use this to threaten you, he wants your company, your woman, are you okay with that?

Huo Tingxiao, people are selfish by nature, innately wicked, don’t test human nature.

Moreover, you can see yourself that Pei Zhao just wants to torment you to balance his mind. Of course, from his perspective, this thought is understandable.

But! Damn it, I can’t understand that. I just know anyone who touches my brother, I’ll damn well fight them to death.

Pei Zhao ended up without legs because of you, that was his own damn choice, he has to live with it.

Back when you were on missions, you saved his life too, harsh as it sounds, one damn leg for a life isn’t worth it?”

Huo Tingxiao watched as the angrier Yunzhan spouted increasingly unpleasant words, and he softly interrupted.

“Pei Zhao would rather die than end up disabled, you should know how strong his pride is.

Ask yourself, if it were you, what would you do?”

Yunzhan was utterly drained, indeed, living a lifetime in a wheelchair was no life at all for him.

“What are you talking about? I’m here backing you up, what are you doing? What’s this all about, are you really planning to agree to Pei Zhao’s demands?

Huo Tingxiao, have you gone mad?”

Huo Tingxiao massaged his temples, finding Yunzhan too noisy.

“You’re giving me a headache.”

Yunzhan was about to blabber on, but thinking that Huo Tingxiao was indeed troubled, decided to let it go this time, cleared his throat, and spoke in a much calmer tone.

“Just tell me what you’re planning.”

“Let’s wait for Jing Rong to get here before discussing.”

Mentioning the name “Jing Rong”, Yunzhan felt a chill throughout his body, tingling all over.

“It’s over, once this ancestor shows up, my good days are done.”

Huo Tingxiao acted as if he hadn’t heard Yunzhan’s complaint.

“If you can’t free yourself up in Shen City, you can go back.”

On hearing this as being dismissed, Yunzhan immediately grew unhappy.

“What do you mean by that? Jing Rong isn’t here yet, and you’re trying to get rid of me?

Hey, spit, spit, spit, building bridges only to destroy them!”

“Without my charm, do you think Jing Rong would even bother with you?”

Besides, don’t think that I stayed just for you. Pei Zhao came back this time and directly snatched the Sheng Family’s land.”

“I think you might want to win over the Sheng Family, and then…”

Huo Tingxiao shot him a look, and Yunzhan shut up.

“No need.”

Yunzhan pouted.

“Well then, how about you partner with me on the other two plots of land about to be bid on? I’ve got a project now with a very promising future.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him, frowning slightly.

“You’re building a school?”

Yunzhan was taken aback.

“Damn, how did you know?”

Huo Tingxiao paused.

“Based on your actions in Shen City, it’s clear. But building an international school might not have as bright a future as it used to.”

Yunzhan shook his head, strongly disagreeing with Huo Tingxiao’s statement.

“No matter how poor, we can’t neglect education. No matter how tough, we can’t make the kids suffer. This statement will always hold water.

With first-tier cities turning towards quality education, my type of school will be most competitive. Moreover, I never said I was setting up an international school here in Sea City. I’m planning to start a training institute.”

“Do you really need such a huge plot of land for a training institute? Two floors would be enough for your needs. Sea City’s top-tier shopping centers are much more useful than building your own training institute.”

Yunzhan sensed the underlying meaning.

“Oh, giving it to me for free?”

“Even with brothers, we keep clear accounts, but I’ll give you a discount.”

“…”

Yunzhan sighed. As expected, dealing with Huo Tingxiao was no good. But Huo Tingxiao was right. Building a school himself, if it failed, his own losses would be painful. If he got two floors in Huo Tingxiao’s shopping center, he could benefit from the center’s customer flow. It seemed he had the better deal.

“Fine, I’ll take the discount. But let’s make this clear so you can’t back out.”

“So when is Jing Rong coming?”

Yunzhan nearly toppled off the sofa.

“After all that, it’s still about Jing Rong. Relax, he should already be on the plane, he’ll definitely arrive today.

You can tell me if anything else is bothering you. Today, I’m definitely your intimate little cotton jacket.”

Huo Tingxiao frowned, hearing Yunzhan’s adjective, and responded lightly.

“If you want to be my daughter, I certainly don’t want to be your dad.”

“Damn, you’re taking advantage of me! Forget it, I won’t speak. I’ve got time to go flirt instead.”

Just as he was about to stand up, Huo Tingxiao grabbed Yunzhan back.

“If, and I mean if, a girl saved your life, would you fall in love with her because of that?”

Yunzhan looked puzzled.

“What the hell? Just because she saved me, I have to fall in love with her? What kind of logic is that? Is there a necessary connection?”

Huo Tingxiao suddenly felt he might have asked the wrong person, after all, Yunzhan was not the type to hang onto one tree.

“What era is it, still pledging oneself in return? Just give more money, who doesn’t love money?”

“Damn, what are you implying? You’re saying Pei Zhao saved you, and you… no way? Huo Tingxiao, are you in love with Pei Zhao?

Ah, poor Mu Lan. No wonder you haven’t been moved in seven years. Turns out…”

“Shut up! Get out!”

Huo Tingxiao couldn’t stand Yunzhan running wild with his ridiculous imaginations.

Yunzhan wore a playful grin again, patting Huo Tingxiao on the shoulder.

“You, my man, why bother telling me all this? Just talk directly to Mu Lan and get it over with.”
