Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 547 - 545: He Doesn’t Mind a Massacre

Sister Hui gasped in astonishment; the villa’s swimming pool was over 500 square meters, and she alone was responsible for cleaning it. How long would it take? She would probably be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood, and she feared that she wouldn’t get a wink of sleep from tonight until tomorrow.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, but there was nothing she could do. Sister Hui slouched off, heading out.

As Su Yan watched Sister Hui being punished, she couldn’t help but move her lips in silent bitterness.

Sister Hui had always taken her side, which naturally meant she was less cordial towards Jiayi.

This man, he couldn’t tolerate anyone neglecting Xiaoyi in the slightest.

Though he seemed to say little, his actions spoke volumes—

He minded not turning it into a bloodbath for anyone who slighted Xiaoyi and her son.

Sister Hui was from the old master’s camp, and her husband and son also worked at the Huo Mansion in America. Her entire family were loyal servants of the Huo Family. Not wanting to go against the old master openly, Zhenxuan used this method to torment Sister Hui. This tactic was more destructive than simply firing her, as it served as a clear warning to the other servants—opposing Xiaoyi and her son was akin to being his enemy, and that came with no good consequences!

It seemed, as long as Sister Hui remained in China, she would have an endless supply of hardship until she couldn’t bear it any longer and resigned on her own to return to America.

Su Yan said nothing more and lowered her head, "Mr. Huo, I’m going upstairs."

Upon reaching the second floor, she knocked on the old master’s bedroom door, entered, and closed the door behind her, "Old Master, I’m here."

Huo Tianpei was resting.

After arriving in China, the travel and jet lag had not yet worn off, affecting his blood pressure, and his health had not been great.

He looked up at the young woman who entered.

In just a few days, Su Yan had become haggard. Originally slim, she now seemed to have shriveled to just bones, eliciting his sympathy.

Huo Tianpei was aware that Su Yan had truly angered his son this time around.

In all fairness, she had not conveyed Yan Bin’s extortion call to his son in time, which almost resulted in harm to his grandson. Huo Tianpei, too, had been angry about that. But upon further thought, he simply couldn’t stay angry.

A girl in the prime of her youth, whose companionship and care over four years—whether genuine or feigned—constituted indelible warm memories for a lonely old man.

Huo Tianpei had spent his youth and middle age immersed in business battles. His wife had passed away early, and due to her death, his relationship with his eldest son had become cold. Even though it had improved over time, he had missed the most precious moments, and their relationship was never as affectionate as other fathers and sons.

In his later years, when he finally stepped back, hoping to enjoy a peaceful retirement, he had not anticipated his second wife, Yao Zhenru, to be restless and ambitious. With a wolfish ambition for her biological son, she stirred up strife in Huo Garden. For the sake of the family’s peace and because his second son had made a mistake, Huo Tianpei had sent his second son, Zhenxuan, abroad.

From then on, Huo Tianpei felt the chill of emptiness in his home.

In his life, he had not enjoyed much warmth and happiness from his children.

Therefore, having any young person around him, even just for a conversation or a laugh, could warm up his heart that had dried up from years of loneliness.

Just like Jiayi from the past, who first chatted with him in the Orchid Glasshouse, then later, when she took care of him while he was sick at Huo Garden, slowly... she became the daughter-in-law he had set his heart on, even without caring about her family background.

All he wanted was not much—just warmth, from anyone it could come.

For the noble and wealthy, this might also be what they lack the most.

It was, therefore, imaginable how precious Su Yan’s four years of devoted companionship and care were to Huo Tianpei. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

And Su Yan, besides being Huo Family’s capable aide, subconsciously, Huo Tianpei even saw her as a daughter of his own.

With such a sentiment, no matter how angry Huo Tianpei was at her, there was a limit to his anger.

Looking at Su Yan’s dejected expression, Huo Tianpei spoke up, "What’s wrong, did you see Zhenyang the moment you entered the door?"

"Yes." When Su Yan began to speak, her throat was all hoarse, as if she hadn’t slept for several days.

Hearing this, Huo Tianpei felt an indescribable pang of heartache, "He knows you’re going back with me. Didn’t he say he wanted you to stay?"

She couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye properly; how could he have asked her to stay? Su Yan forced a bleak smile and shook her head.

Huo Tianpei didn’t know what to say. Even if he was reluctant to let Su Yan go, he naturally leaned towards his son’s decision. He could only comfort her, "With time, his anger will inevitably subside. Once he’s no longer so irate, we’ll see if we can bring you back. He knows you’re capable."

But Su Yan didn’t feel comforted by these words; her lips curled into an even sadder frown.

She understood that the old man’s words were just lip service.

That resentment, that man would likely never let it go in his lifetime.

To that man, she hadn’t just made a mistake; she’d committed an unforgivable crime.

Once back in America, assigned to another branch of the Huo Family’s global businesses, how could she possibly have a chance to come back?

In an instant, her barely settled heart grew anxious again, her eyes reddened, and a sour liquid welled up, spilling over her eyelids.

Huo Tianpei had never seen Su Yan cry before and was shocked for a moment, only to see Su Yan suddenly step forward and kneel at the bedside, sobbing.

"Su Yan, what are you doing? Get up." Huo Tianpei came back to his senses from the shock and hurriedly grasped her trembling hand.

"Old Master, I know I’ve made a terrible mistake, but... I really don’t want to leave like this. You know me, in all these four years, I’ve never asked for anything from you, but this time, I beg you to help me plead with Young Master Huo again..."

The young woman’s low crying spread throughout the quiet bedroom, breaking hearts.

This was her last chance.

Even if it meant abandoning her dignity and thickening her skin, she couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Huo Tianpei was silent for a long time, his hand slowly slipping out of Su Yan’s grasp.

This gesture caused Su Yan’s heart to jolt and plummet, understanding the Old Master’s intentions—

The Old Master pitied her, but no matter how much he did, he wouldn’t become senile and defy his own son.

"Old Master—" Su Yan didn’t give up, her tears falling thick and fast, "Please... I don’t want to go back to America... I really don’t want to go back. I know that once I go, it will be impossible to return to your side again, to return to LA’s Huo Mansion... Old Master, you know you pity me, you treat me like a daughter, do you really want to spend the rest of your life without seeing me again?"

Even though Huo Tianpei couldn’t bear to let her go, he still knew the gravity of the situation. After a prolonged silence, he sighed deeply, "Su Yan, you’ve always been a good child in my eyes. Don’t make things difficult for me now. I promise you, when enough time has passed, I will definitely have Zhenyang bring you back. Don’t you believe my word?"

Su Yan’s tears continued to fall like broken beads, the Old Master’s promise seemed too far away.

Wait for a long time?

How long would that be?
