Chapter 336: Chapter 0336: Your Relationship with Huo Tingxiao Chapter 336: Chapter 0336: Your Relationship with Huo Tingxiao Yun Meixian paused for a moment, her eyes radiating composure.

“My relationship with Director Huo is nothing more than a cordial acquaintance; I truly cannot shoulder the term ‘hostess.’
Moreover, I have never been good at socializing. If it were not for my son saying that I should join the company’s annual gathering for some fun, I would not have appeared at such an event.”

She explained the whole situation to Xian Yaping, and though she wasn’t sure what Xian Yaping knew, Yun Meixian felt she still had to do what was necessary.

“Mrs. Lin, what are you saying? We are friends, how could you not bear the term?”

Mrs. Lin…

This title brought a slight curve to Yun Meixian’s lips.

“I appreciate Mrs. Huo’s kindness and take it to heart; there’s really no need.”

Xian Yaping glanced in the direction of the cubicles and, noticing no movements, thought they were alone and didn’t bother to conceal anything.

“I know you and Qidong had a past relationship, he has been honest with me about it, and I also know what has happened between you two, including how he ended up marrying Han Yongmei.”

Yun Meixian looked up, her gaze meeting Xian Yaping’s in the large mirror before them.

“So what?”

This calm response slightly furrowed Xian Yaping’s brow.

“So, I think Mrs. Lin doesn’t need to avoid the topic. There are no secrets between me and Qidong.”

Hearing this, Yun Meixian raised an eyebrow.

“Mrs. Huo seems to be mistaken about something. I’m not concerned with the relationship between you and your husband, and there is nothing I wish to avoid.

To me, it is merely a ridiculous affair from thirty years ago. As for what you know, it actually has nothing to do with me.

We are each well in our own lives, and that is enough.”

Both doing well? Xian Yaping’s mouth twitched, thinking there’s no way they could be both doing well after Huo Qidong’s reaction!

“Mrs. Lin, you know how nostalgic Qidong is, always treasuring what he cannot obtain. I’m worried he might suddenly lose his sense, and that would have serious repercussions.”

Yun Meixian turned around to face Xian Yaping head-on.

“What are you afraid he might be confused about? What could he possibly be confused about?”

Xian Yaping was taken aback, suddenly feeling the imposing presence of the woman before her hard to ignore.

“Of course, it is…”

“Could it be that Mrs. Huo fears Director Huo might harass me?”

Harass? Xian Yaping corrected herself.

“No, that’s not what I mean.”

“If that’s not what you mean, then there is no confusion to be had.”

Yun Meixian, though outwardly elegant and gentle, had a resilient nature; she had always abided by the rule of not offending others unless offended. Xian Yaping’s overt and covert hints were merely due to her fear that Yun Meixian couldn’t hold herself back.

“I was just saying it offhand; why does Mrs. Lin take it so seriously? Could it be… guilt?”

“Guilt? Why should I feel guilty?”

“You and Qidong will have plenty of chances to meet in the future. Your sudden return to the country, could it be for…”

Xian Yaping pursed her lips and slowly said,
“Is it not for Huo Tingxiao?”

Yun Meixian’s expression abruptly changed; she had just assumed that Xian Yaping’s declaration of no secrets between her and Huo Qidong was just to assert her status, but it turned out to be true!

Huo Qidong must be insane to have let her know about it; didn’t he realize the enormous repercussions once the news leaked out?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Is it that you don’t know, or you don’t want to face it? Don’t worry, there’s nobody else here.”

Xian Yaping had regained the initiative and her face was full of smugness.

Yun Meixian had once had only a feeling of ‘the past cannot be pursued’ towards Huo Qidong, but at this moment, she actually felt a bit of disgust for the man.

She must have been crazy to make such a decision, thinking that he would handle everything flawlessly.

“I hope you watch your words and actions carefully! If Huo Qidong finds out that you are spouting nonsense outside, he probably won’t tolerate it.”

Xian Yaping’s sore spot was poked, and her expression immediately turned harsh.

“You seem to know him very well, huh? What do you think, you’re the only one who has borne him a child? I also gave birth to a son for him, and he is now engraved in the structure of Huo Group.

After the old master passed away, all the shares were left to Qidong, and Tingxiao didn’t get anything. If you’re thinking of coming back to take advantage, I should kindly warn you, save your breath.”

Yun Meixian looked coldly at Xian Yaping’s mercenary face, truly not understanding how Huo Qidong could have found such a person to keep by his side.

“Then I’ll also give Mrs. Huo a piece of advice, don’t be so arrogant. I don’t want to gain anything.

Whatever happens to the Huo Family has nothing to do with me.”

“What about Tingxiao’s matters? Are they none of your concern too? You dare to say you didn’t come back for the purpose of acknowledging him?”

“Shut up!”

Yun Meixian’s icy tone made Xian Yaping instinctively take a step back, her voice tinged with a touch of panic.

“What do you want to do?”

“That question should be asked of you. What do you think, that I’m some kind of pushover?

I can disregard even Huo Qidong’s face, who do you think you are?

Do you think you’re here to say all this as a threat to me? Let me tell you, you’ve miscalculated.

If you dare harm Tingxiao in any way, just wait and see if Huo Qidong will let you off the hook!”

Yun Meixian’s presence was formidable, completely at odds with her apparently gentle and amiable exterior.

Xian Yaping had always been dominated by Han Yongmei, and now she felt humbled once more by Yun Meixian. She truly saw herself as pitifully weak.

“He won’t let me off the hook? Perhaps you don’t realize how Qidong has always treated Tingxiao.

He cares about our son and me much more than he does about Tingxiao. If it wasn’t for the old master taking him seriously when he was alive, do you think he could be where he is today?

They say he started a business, but wasn’t it with the resources of the Huo Family? Without support from the Huo Family, what would he amount to?

Later, the Huo Group will be inherited by my son. Things that Han Yongmei can’t get a share of, do you think you can get them by coming back? That’s just too naive.

Tingxiao is nothing in the Huo Group now!”

Yun Meixian looked at Xian Yaping furiously. How could this be? Huo Qidong had clearly promised her he would take good care of Tingxiao, he had given his promise!

Why was Tingxiao kicked out of the Huo Group?

“Do you think with his achievements today he would care about the Huo Group? You’re seriously underestimating him.

Besides, if Huo Qidong really said that he would hand over the Huo Group to your son, you wouldn’t be so anxious, and come before me jumping up and down like this.

Mrs. Huo, the diamonds in your eyes might just be sand in the eyes of others.

Back then, I could leave Huo Qidong, and I won’t be eating my words today; don’t think everyone is like you.

I hope you keep today’s conversation to yourself, and don’t go around causing trouble by gossiping to others, otherwise…”

“Are you threatening me?”

“If you think it’s a threat, then it’s a threat.

I’m not known for being temperate, so don’t provoke me easily, otherwise I will make you regret it!”

After speaking, Yun Meixian picked up her handbag and left the washroom.

Xian Yaping bit her lip fiercely, glaring at Yun Meixian’s departing figure with venomous eyes. She wouldn’t let this go!
