Cao Guifang valued Shu Youkang more than her own life. She might not have cared about other things, but Jiang Tingrou had almost caused Shu Youkang's company to close down. She recalled how Shu Youkang had been so anxious about the company that he couldn't sleep at night. Cao Guifang's heart ached terribly, and the anger in her heart rose like a wildfire.
It could be said that Cao Guifang loved Shu Youkang as much as he loved Shuxin.
Hence, Cao Guifang and Shu Youkang both wanted to kill Jiang Tingrou.
Cao Guifang raised her old leg and kicked her. "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Jiang Tingrou was caught off guard. She fell backward and landed on the ground with a loud thud. She fainted immediately.
…
Shu Youkang handed the evidence of Jiang Tingrou and her shoddy work to Huo Yanqing, and Huo Yanqing handed it over to the court.
The cooperation between Huo Group and Lan Kang Company continued. The haunted house's tunnel was completely demolished and rebuilt.
In the Shu family's study room
Shuxin pushed the door open and entered. Shu Youkang was standing by the window smoking. She walked over and took the cigarette between his fingers and stubbed it out in the ashtray. "It's not good for your health to smoke less."
Shu Youkang smiled dotingly. "Okay."
"Why aren't you sleeping? Hasn't the matter been resolved? "Shuxin held Shu Youkang's hand and they sat down on the sofa together.
"I'm thinking about some things," Shu Youkang said and looked at Shuxin seriously. "Xin 'er, what's your relationship with President Huo?"
Shuxin didn't expect Shu Youkang to suddenly ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment before replying, "We're partners."
"You've learned to lie to your father now?"
Shuxin pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm not."
Shu Youkang frowned slightly. "I'm not senile. Logically speaking, Huo Group should have hired a lawyer to deal with the accident. It's normal to compensate for the losses and terminate the contract. However, President Huo gave us a week to investigate and even continued to work with us. This is too abnormal.
Also, on the day of the inspection, President Huo is such a noble person, but he risked his life to save you. He even held your hand after that. I've been busy dealing with company matters these few days, so I didn't have the time to ask you. But don't think I don't know.. Don't think that I don't know. "
Shu Xin was silent for a moment before she sighed slightly. Her voice was a little disappointed. "There's really nothing between Fifth Uncle and me. At most … We're friends."
Shu Youkang could tell from Shuxin's tone and expression that Shuxin liked Huo Yanqing. He said gently, "Xin 'er, you're not the same kind of person as him. You're not suitable for each other."
Shuxin's heart squeezed slightly. It ached faintly and her eyes became teary. She lowered her head and said softly, "I know. I've always known."
Shu Youkang gently patted Shuxin's head. "You're a smart girl. Don't get trapped in your own trap."
As Shu Youkang patted Shuxin's head, Shui Xin was instantly reminded of Huo Yanqing. He loved to stroke her hair gently and talk to her gently like this.
Coupled with Shu Youkang's words, 'Don't get trapped in your own trap', Shuxin's heart warmed. Tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.
Shuxin turned around and buried her head in Shu Youkang's arms. She said in a muffled voice, "Dad..."
Shu Youkang gently patted Shuxin's back. "You're still young and haven't settled down yet. President Huo is too outstanding, so it's normal for you to fall for him. It's okay. Just don't fall for him."
