Chapter 289 Sowing discord
It was clearly him who touched her waist. Qiao Chuchu looked into his eyes and realized that he was doing it on purpose.
"There is indeed a bit of an attempt to take advantage."
As she spoke, her fingertips gently rubbed circles on his chest, and through the thin layer of pajamas, she could feel the increasingly hot temperature.
"Will Mr. Huo give me this opportunity?"
Huo Yunzheng originally wanted to tease her deliberately, but he didn't expect that he would be so distracted by her teasing.
The person below had already reacted, and was just about to capture those tender red lips, but Qiao Chuchu exerted force and stood up straight.
"Huo Yunzheng, you have no shame at all. What a mess of things are in your head. Eh."
Qiao Chuchu put on a disgusted expression and clicked her tongue twice.
"I'm not sleeping with you tonight. I'm going to the study to study overtime. Men will only hinder my success."
Qiao Chuchu picked up her laptop and was about to leave, but before she could walk out of the door, she was trapped in the bed again.
"Huo Yunzheng, you are shameless!"
President Huo pressed the man under him and laughed.
"I don't know who is so shameless. He didn't pay the tuition fee, and he still touched and played around. If you light the fire, you have to take responsibility, understand?"
Qiao Chuchu glared at him angrily, indicating that she didn't understand.
Pulling her computer from her arms and placing it casually beside her, Huo Yunzheng lightly hooked his fingers and the straps of her pajamas slipped off.
"Pay the tuition first, and then I'll teach you."
……
The plagiarism scandal of Jinzhi gradually subsided because there were witnesses and physical evidence, and this clumsy frame-up was quickly exposed.
This is a form of malicious competition within the industry, and Qiao Chuchu and Xu Ke have chosen to resolve it through legal channels.
They will never give up the rights and interests that they should fight for, and at the same time they are also sending a signal to the outside world that even if they are a start-up company, they should not be manipulated at will.
It is true that competition in the industry is fierce, but it is true that everyone has to rely on their own abilities. Engaging in these petty calculations and conspiracies is simply laughable.
Although not many people paid attention to this incident, in the fast age of the Internet, information changes rapidly and it was soon forgotten.
However, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the name of the law firm stated in Jinzhi’s official statement and lawyer’s letter is the same as the law firm where Yunxi Group’s exclusive legal advisor is located.
This firm is a top consulting agency in the country, and its clients are all business tycoons. It is strange for a small clothing brand like Jinzhi to use such a high-end firm.
After checking the industrial and commercial registration information, netizens discovered that Jinzhi’s boss was actually Huo Yunzheng’s wife.
The couple had publicly displayed their affection on the Internet some time ago, and the official account of Yunxi Group even posted a photo of its boss’s wife.
Qiao Chuchu's name instantly exploded again.
In the Huo family's old house, Shi Shi brought the brewed tea to Huo Liancheng and glanced at the old man's face.
He is reading a newspaper at the moment.
Huo Liancheng has the habit of reading newspapers, and the housekeeper will deliver the latest daily newspaper every day.
"Dad, have you watched the news? Xiaoxi has been getting a lot of attention these days."
Huo Liancheng put down the teacup in his hand. He felt embarrassed when he heard the name.
Shi Shi carefully and carefully observed the old man's expression. For various reasons, Huo Liancheng now had a lot of opinions about Huo Yunzheng's wife.
"What's wrong with that girl?" Huo Liancheng asked.
Shi Shi smiled, pretending to chat about family matters, and spoke to Huo Liancheng in an extremely loving tone.
"Xiao Xi is a very capable girl. She is studying for a master's degree and running a store at the same time. She has not fallen behind in her career and studies. Many people are praising her online, saying that she is excellent and has a good life."
Huo Liancheng snorted coldly, "What's there to brag about?!"
"As a woman, why is she making trouble all day instead of focusing on taking care of the family? Doesn't our Huo family need her to eat and wear clothes? If we ask her to go out and earn money, people who don't know will think we are mistreating her."
Shi Shi was listening on the side, and the old man's reaction was what she expected.
Huo Liancheng was a man of great resolve when he was young. He founded the Yunxi Group and had an excellent business acumen.
But his biggest characteristic is stubbornness and the traditional and conservative nature of his character. In his opinion, even though gender equality is advocated nowadays, women should be the ones who give more in marriage.
Supporting your husband and raising your children is an eternal truth.
"It doesn't matter if she wants to study further, but the extra time should be spent on taking care of Yun Zheng and Zi Yan, leaving all the household affairs to the housekeeper and servants. If she doesn't worry about anything and doesn't care about anything, then what do we in the Huo family need her as a daughter-in-law for? Just a decoration?"
As soon as Huo Liancheng finished speaking, a clear female voice sounded outside the front hall.
"Grandpa, my second sister-in-law married my second brother, not the entire Huo family. What you said is too unreasonable. I can't listen to it anymore!"
It was just a coincidence that Huo Xiaonuan heard Huo Liancheng's words clearly.
She walked into the front hall and glanced at Shi Shi.
I knew that it was this woman who instigated my grandfather to suddenly express so many opinions and criticize my second sister-in-law.
It's none of her business! She's not her second brother's biological mother, and she's not much better to her second brother. Why is she acting like an elder here?
Do you really think of yourself as a mother-in-law and still want to find fault?
Give her something to show off!
"Grandpa, you should change your old ideas. They are no longer in line with the trend of the times."
Huo Liancheng listened to his granddaughter's words and didn't care at all.
"What do you know, little girl?"
Huo Xiaonuan smiled, but her eyes were full of coldness.
She had said long ago that this old house was a depressing place where everyone had their own thoughts and selfishness.
"Grandpa, you don't like my second sister-in-law, but there are many people out there who like her. You think my second sister-in-law doesn't care about her family, but let me tell you, a woman like my second sister-in-law who comes from a rich family, studies in a prestigious school, and has her own career, the people chasing after her can go around the entire city of Beijing three times."
"You think that my second sister-in-law marrying my second brother is marrying up. Believe it or not, once the two of them divorce, and my second brother hasn't found the right one yet, those who go to my second sister-in-law's house to propose marriage will be able to squeeze the door of the Jing family down."
Huo Xiaonuan spared no effort in praising Qiao Chuchu in front of Huo Liancheng. She just wanted the Huo family to see the excellence of her second sister-in-law.
"As a woman, the most important thing is to take good care of the family. Your second brother is already tired enough, and he still has to accommodate her and serve her. How ridiculous."
Huo Liancheng couldn't argue with Huo Xiaonuan, and he refused to follow her logic to acknowledge the excellence of his granddaughter-in-law, so he brought out the old rules again.
Huo Xiaonuan was so angry that she almost laughed.
"When you started your business, you were broke and couldn't take care of the family, so my grandmother focused on the family. She had no choice."
"The conditions are different now. Does our Huo family need women to stay at home serving tea, washing clothes and cooking? You think this is good, but you don't know that it is because you have no ability and can only deliberately please and depend on men."
Huo Xiaonuan's words were so targeted that Shi Shi's face turned pale.
