99 Not Interested
Hou Junlai said indifferently, “I’m not interested.”
Liu Xin’er didn’t expect Hou Junlai to reject her at this time. Liu Xin’er gritted her teeth and said, “Junlai, you will regret it.”
Liu Xin’er thought that Hou Junlai would agree excitedly, but she didn’t expect him to reject her.
When she came over from home just now, Liu Xin’er had bragged to her father and Liu Xiaohong that Hou Junlai would definitely listen to her.
But now, she had been ruthlessly rejected.
Liu Xin’er said angrily, “I really don’t understand how I can’t compare to Jian Xing’er.”
Hou Junlai said, “You’re not worthy of competing with her!”
These words tore Liu Xin’er’s self-esteem apart.
Hou Junlai made Liu Xin’er sound useless.
Liu Xin’er roared, “Who does Jian Xing’er think she is? She’s so useless. Do you think I’m not worthy of being compared to her? Hou Junlai, you’ll regret it sooner or later. At that time, you’ll come beg me.”
With that, Liu Xin’er turned around and left.
Mrs. Hou immediately chased after Liu Xin’er, but Liu Xin’er ignored her.
For Hou Junlai’s sake, Liu Xin’er had always been very polite to Mrs. Hou. Now that Hou Junlai had completely angered Liu Xin’er, Liu Xin’er couldn’t care less about Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou looked at Junlai and said helplessly, “Junlai, you should be more tactful. Liu Xin’er is different from before. If you have a good relationship with Liu Xin’er, the company will be fine. Even if you don’t like her, you should have rejected her tactfully. Why did you have to hurt her pride?”
Hou Junlai said, “I know what I’m doing!”
Seeing that Hou Junlai was a little angry, Mrs. Hou sighed and said, “You’re good at everything else, but you’re not tactful enough. If I were you, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. If you anger Liu Xin’er, how can the Hou family survive in Sea City in the future?”
Mrs. Hou sounded helpless.
Hou Junlai said, “This time, I won’t give up on Jian Xing’er again…”
Mrs. Hou frowned and said, “No, you have to draw a line with Jian Xing’er. In this situation, no matter who gets close to Jian Xing’er, the Liu family will take revenge on them. Don’t be stupid.”
Mrs. Hou had completely given up on Jian Xing’er.
At this moment, Mr. Hou walked in with Jian Xing’er.
Mrs. Hou was stunned to see the two of them.
When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Hou immediately pulled Mr. Hou to the side and whispered, “Why did you bring Jian Xing’er back?”
Mr. Hou looked at Mrs. Hou in confusion and said, “That’s strange. Previously, you tried all sorts of ways to invite Jian Xing’er here. Now that she’s here, why aren’t you satisfied?”
Mrs. Hou patted Mr. Hou and said, “You don’t know who Jian Xing’er is, right? Jian Xing’er is the chairman of Tianmei Corporation.”
When Mr. Hou heard this, he froze on the spot.
When he came back to his senses, Mr. Hou smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to be so capable. She’s the chairman of Tianmei Corporation. How impressive!”
Mrs. Hou immediately said, “What big shot? She has already offended Liu Xiaohong. In two days, she’ll become a good-for-nothing again.”
Mr. Hou said unhappily, “You’re such a snob!”
Mr. Hou despised Mrs. Hou’s behavior.
…
When Hou Jun saw Jian Xing’er, he immediately poured tea for her.
Hou Junlai was very polite to Jian Xing’er.
Jian Xing’er didn’t drink it. Instead, she said calmly, “I’m just here to retrieve my safe…”
Hou Junlai nodded and got up to take the safe out of the room.
After Jian Xing’er thanked him, she walked out with the safe.
Hou Junlai suddenly said, “I want to talk to you…”
Jian Xing’er shook her head and said, “Forget it. There’s nothing to talk about between us.”
With that, she walked out.
Hou Junlai frowned as he watched Jian Xing’er leave.
Hou Junlai was disappointed to see Jian Xing’er treat him like a stranger.
However, there was nothing Hou Junlai could do about it.
Mrs. Hou, on the other hand, acted very cold.
From when Jian Xing’er entered to when she left, Mrs. Hou ignored her. If it were in the past, Mrs. Hou would have tried to keep Jian Xing’er at home.
When Mrs. Hou saw Jian Xing’er leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “So she came back to get this box. It’s good that she left quickly, or else Junlai would have been implicated!”
When Mr. Hou heard this, he said angrily, “How can you do this? Have you forgotten that it was Jian Xing’er who allowed Junlai’s company to survive? How can you kick her to the curb after she has outlived her usefulness?”
Mrs. Hou said indifferently, “That’s different. Jian Xing’er is about to be finished, so we have to draw a line.”
