Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 389 - 390: Tearing Open Old Wounds
At the dinner table, Chu Tingting saw Huo Qinglin as she had hoped.
He had bandages wrapped around his head, which somewhat affected his enchanting face. However, when Huo Qinglin saw her, his expression was rather indifferent.
Chu Tingting quietly observed Huo Qinglin’s expression, noticing that he seemed a bit morose. Throughout the meal, he barely spoke.
All she could hear was Mrs. Huo repeatedly asking if his head hurt, followed by instructing the servants to prepare some nourishing food for him.
Chu Tingting had figured it out. Mrs. Huo truly doted on this grandson, no wonder he ended up being spoiled into such a useless person.
Although Chu Tingting had only been working at the company for a few days, she was very skilled at managing relationships. Many of the employees in the company had secretly been won over by her, and naturally, some long-standing company gossip had transformed into fresh tales and made their way to her ears day by day.
Initially, she focused on finding out which shameless vixen in the company had tried to charm Huo Yanting.
Later, she discovered a particularly interesting phenomenon: Huo Tianfeng and his father had been tirelessly scheming to oust Huo Yanting, yet they failed miserably time and time again, ultimately becoming the company’s laughingstock.
So, under Huo Yanting’s brilliance, Huo Qinglin being criticized as useless seemed entirely justified.
After dinner, Huo Qinglin left the table directly, intending to return and tend to his injuries.
Chu Tingting quickly chased after him and called out softly, "Second Young Master, please wait!"
Huo Qinglin turned around to look at her and replied coolly, "Is there something you need?"
"Just a minor matter!" Chu Tingting said, her brows lightly raised with a friendly and warm smile.
Huo Qinglin seemed intrigued. "Oh? What minor matter?"
Chu Tingting feigned surprise and said, "I’ve been working at the company for a few days now and have heard some intriguing gossip. I never imagined Lin Banxia used to be your girlfriend. It’s amusing how you and your brother seem to share such similar tastes."
Huo Qinglin’s old wounds were reopened by her words, and his expression grew colder. He replied, "What’s the point of saying that? Everyone in the world should know that Lin Banxia was originally *my* girlfriend. It was my brother who used underhanded tactics to steal her from me and then shamelessly married her. Haha, Chu Tingting, are you trying to provoke me?"
Chu Tingting was stunned!
Still, Huo Qinglin’s words revealed an even greater opportunity for her.
"You can’t possibly still be pining for Lin Banxia, can you? I just don’t understand—what’s so special about her that she could manage to fool both you brothers completely," Chu Tingting deliberately used the word "fool" to disparage Lin Banxia’s so-called fickle affections.
Of course, Huo Qinglin caught onto her insinuation and sneered coldly, "Her qualities are something you could never grasp. But one thing is clear—as much as I might have been fooled by her, it was entirely my choice. And I can confidently say, my brother is even more willing than I am."
Chu Tingting hadn’t expected that even at this point, Huo Qinglin would still defend Lin Banxia. Clearly, he was a true admirer of hers.
"Alright, I misspoke earlier. Don’t be angry. I’m not here to argue with you or reopen your wounds. I just wanted to talk to you about your past with Lin Banxia," Chu Tingting finally held back from further testing him; it seemed she had heard loud and clear that Huo Qinglin still harbored deep feelings for Lin Banxia.
That was enough!
He would surely agree to join her in taking a risk together.
