To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 525:
Chapter 525: Huo Jinyao Has Sexual Dysfunction
Huo Jinyao was on speaker the whole time. Su Qingsang looked at Ding Qing, then extended the phone towards her. Ding Qing could see the phone screen clearly.
She wasn’t expecting that at all. As Su Qingsang abruptly handed the phone to her, she didn’t even know how to react.
For the very first time, her intellect wasn’t helping her at all.
“Miss. Ding?” Huo Jinyao sounded cold. “Where are you two now?”
“M-Minghua Xindu.” Ding Qing had always been able to maintain a confident and polite manner in front of Huo Jinyao before this incident.
She was a little guilty because of what Qiao Hong had done, but still, she portrayed herself as a smart and capable person in Huo Jinyao’s eyes.
“Minghua Xindu?” Huo Jinyao raised his brows slightly, “Miss. Ding, Minghua Xindu isn’t even near Huangting.”
He had given Ding Qing the address before sending her to the airport to pick Su Qingsang up. Why did she bring Su Qingsang to Minghua Xindu?
No wonder Su Qingsang asked him about the apartments he owned in Minghua Xindu.
“President Huo, I…”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation now. You have fifteen minutes. Drive my wife to Huangting and then come back to the company immediately.”
He sounded very unhappy. He was still on speaker, so Su Qingsang could hear him.
For a moment, Ding Qing felt as if her face was burning. She sat there and started to tremble slightly.
She wasn’t expecting to be in such a situation. “President Huo…”
“Give the phone to my wife,” said Huo Jinyao, still sounding unhappy. He didn’t plan on showing Ding Qing any mercy at all.
Su Qingsang took the phone away from Ding Qing’s hand with a bland look and turned off the speaker. Then, she put the phone on her ear.
“Jinyao.”
“I’m sorry.” Huo Jinyao didn’t know what was wrong with Ding Qing yet. Whatever was wrong with her, he was already upset. “Ding Qing will drive you home immediately. Go home and have a good rest.”
“Alright.” Su Qingsang watched the frustrated Ding Qing turn around to start the car. Silently, she turned up her lips into a smile. She told Huo Jinyao, “you should go for lunch. Work will never be finished. I want you to stay healthy.”
“I get it.” Her concern eased the frown on Huo Jinyao’s face.
As Ding Qing was still present, Su Qingsang didn’t say anything else. After ending the call, she looked at Ding Qing. She was wearing a stiff face. Instead of starting the car immediately, she turned back to look at Su Qingang again. She gazed straight at her.
She way she looked at her made Su Qingsang feel uncomfortable, so Su Qingsang didn’t plan on being nice to her.
“Miss. Ding, aren’t you gonna drive? Jinyao just told you to drive me home as soon as possible, didn’t he?”
“Mrs. Huo, don’t worry, I’m doing that now.”
Ding Qing spent one extra second looking at her in the eyes. Then, she turned, started the car, and drove quickly towards Huangting.
Su Qingsang stayed quiet. She looked so composed and relaxed, as if the phone call she had made just now and the way Ding Qing had challenged her didn’t affect her at all.
Ding Qing was seeing the look on Su Qingsang’s face from the rearview mirror occasionally. She gripped the steering wheel with both hands tightly.
For a moment, she wanted so badly to stop the car, turn around to slap the smile off Su Qingsang’s face.
She didn’t let herself do that, though. While following the GPS to the destination, she tried to get her brain to work fast.
She refused to admit defeat. She didn’t want to lose, at least not like this.
Half an hour later, the car was parked before Huangting.
Su Qingang opened the car door herself. This time, she didn’t need Ding Qing to open the door for her.
Before she pushed the door open, Ding Qing turned and looked at her.
“Mrs. Huo, do you think that you’ve won?” She looked cooler than before at the moment. Looking at Su Qingsang, she had a determined look on her face.
“We’re not running a competition. Why would there be a winner and a loser?” Su Qingsang found herself being so patient today, considering the fact that she had been talking nonsense with Ding Qing the whole while.
“We’re not running a competition if you say so. But, I think you’ll lose sooner or later.”
Then, Ding Qing asked her with a faint smile, “do you know why, Mrs. Huo?”
Su Qingsang stayed silent. Ding Qing didn’t need her response.
“President Huo was the one who asked me to drive him to that place the other day. But today, he’s suddenly so upset about it. I admit that I’ve been a little too impatient. But, if he’s not guilty, why would he be so upset?”
“He’s just mad at me for being reckless, and is using that to hide his guilt.”
Ding Qing gave a grin and continued with, “Mrs. Huo, do you still think that you didn’t lose?”
Su Qingsang stayed silent and calm, while hearing Ding Qing make up the story. She maintained a provocative smile.
She twisted her lips, gave a bigger smile, and asked, “lose? What do you mean by that? Huo Jinyao asked you to drive him home once and now I am the loser?”
“Mrs. Huo, you don’t need to lie to yourself. He’s a man and I’m a woman. The two of us were alone. I drove him home and then we went upstairs. He was drunk. What do you think happened after that?”
Su Qingsang looked at her, still maintaining a smile on her face. “What are you implying? Jinyao was drunk and had sex with you? Or, that you seduced him and he was too drunk to resist? Are you sure about that?”
Ding Qing moved her lips slightly. She was sure that if she said yes, Su Qingsang would call Huo Jinyao immediately to ask him if it was true.
“It’s normal for men to do things like that when they’re drunk. Are you mad, Mrs. Huo?”
She was expecting Su Qingsang to grow angry. But sadly, Su Qingsang disappointed her again. Her plan was meant to fail eventually.
“Ding Qing. Miss. Ding, I think you should go to see a doctor.”
“You…”
“You’re so young but you’re so delusional. That is not a good thing.”
“Mrs. Huo, do you think that I’m lying to you? You can call President Huo and ask him if we spent the whole of Friday night together if you don’t believe me.”
They surely had spent the whole night together, but they stayed at the office, and Yang Wenchang had been there too.
Ding Qing wouldn’t give that detail to Su Qingsang, of course. Even if Su Qingsang did ask Huo Jinyao that question, she wouldn’t get a different answer.
“Miss. Ding, you don’t need to make up that story. I believe that you spent the whole night together with Jinyao, but there’s something that I think you don’t know yet.”
“What?”
Su Qingsang didn’t want to waste more time on that woman. She gave her a cold glance, with sympathy and contempt, then pushed the door open and put one foot on the ground.
“The only thing Jinyao will do when he is drunk is sleep. More importantly…”
She didn’t finish her words but closed the door heavily and then walked to the trunk to get her suitcases.
Ding Qing followed her out of the car without thinking. She watched Su Qingsang take off the two suitcases, then spread her arm to stop her from pulling up the handle of the suitcases.
“What’s the other thing?” she asked.
Su Qingsang gently pushed her hand away, pulling both suitcases towards herself. Seeing the anxious look on Ding Qing’s face, she leaned slightly forward and then said with a very low voice which could only be heard by the two of them.
“Huo Jinyao has sexual dysfunction. You don’t know that, do you?”
It was lunchtime but not many people were out there. Su Qingsang didn’t need to keep her voice too low, because no one else would hear her.
However, she still whispered those few words out.
Looking at the stunned Ding Qing, she chuckled. “Miss. Ding, next time, you better do some digging on people’s backgrounds before making up a story.”
“No… That’s not possible…” Ding Qing refused to believe that, even a word. She did not believe that!
“Not possible? Think about it. Think about Huo Jinyao’s family. Why did he marry me? I assume you already know who I am, don’t you?”
She was now Li Qianxue’s daughter, but that hadn’t been announced to the world yet. Currently, people still think of her as the illegitimate daughter from the Li Family.
Ding Qing was astonished. She popped her eyes and glared at Su Qingsang in shock, without being able to accept what Su Qingsang just said.
Su Qingsang looked at Ding Qing, her eyes filled with sympathy and disdain. At last, she quickly walked into the building with the two suitcases.
Ding Qing stood there in a daze until a cold gust of wind shook her awake.
She could not associate the tall and sturdy Huo Jinyao with what Su Qingsang just said.
How was that possible? That couldn’t be true!
In both shock and confusion, she returned to the company.
Huo Jinyao summoned her to his office once she returned.
She was still thinking about Su Qingsang’s words when she looked into Huo Jinyao’s cold eyes. She even unwittingly glanced at Huo Jinyao’s crotch area.
That part of his body was hidden behind the desk, so she couldn’t help but look at him in the eyes again…
The way she looked at him displeased Huo Jinyao. He narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at her.
“Miss. Ding, can you please explain to me why you drove my wife to Minghua Xindu while I asked you to send her to Huangting?”
His voice was cold but his words were colder. Ding Qing had already made up an excuse on her way back to the company.
“I’m sorry, President Huo. Your wife didn’t tell me that she was going home for lunch when I got her at the airport. I asked her if she had lunch yet, and she said no, so I thought that maybe I could take her to eat somewhere. I know a place near Minghua Xindu that makes great private home cuisine. I thought maybe she would like to give it a try.”
“When we passed by Minghua Xindu, I recalled Secretary Chen talking about renting out your apartment, so I mentioned it to Mrs. Huo. Then I realized that she seemed not to know that you have properties there. I’m sorry, President Huo. I shouldn’t have mentioned that.”
Ding Qing had given a really smart explanation. She first told Huo Jinyao that she was kindly trying to take Su Qingsang for lunch, and then said that Su Qingsang had called him because she found out that Huo Jinyao owned properties in Minghua Xindu.
In other words, she was trying to say that the real reason why Su Qingsang had become upset and called Huo Jinyao was because she found out that Huo Jinyao had some properties that she didn’t know about.
