Chapter 47: Xu Xu's Husband Has Arrived!

Huo Yunzhe whipped out his phone, intending to have someone look into Xu Xu’s husband, but his assistant’s call came through a step faster.

Huo Yunzhe frowned slightly, yet he answered the call anyway.

"President Huo, it's a disaster!" The assistant’s panicky voice exploded in Huo Yunzhe’s ear. "Several shareholders of the company suddenly dumped their shares en masse! The bank monitored the abnormal activity and froze the funding for our latest project. The company’s capital chain has completely broken down!"

"What!" Huo Yunzhe’s eyes widened. "How could this happen?"

"I don't know either, President Huo! What should we do now..."

After a moment of panic, Huo Yunzhe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Don't panic, we still have a backup plan..."

With that, he hung up the phone and, with slightly trembling hands, dialed his father's number.

"Dad, my company..."

"You scoundrel! What on earth have you been doing outside!" The middle-aged man’s furious roar exploded from the other end of the line. "Why has the Kyoto Huo family publicly announced that our father-son duo has no relation to them whatsoever? Did you offend the newly appointed President?"

Hearing this, Huo Yunzhe hurriedly explained, "Dad, it wasn't me!"

The President hadn't even attended today's banquet, and throughout the entire event, he had been extremely cautious. It was impossible for him to have offended any major figure.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xu Xu not far away, and an absurd thought instantly popped into his head—could it be because of Xu Xu?

"Impossible!" The moment the thought arose, Huo Yunzhe immediately dismissed it.

He even found it ridiculous that such a thought had crossed his mind.

Xu Xu was nothing more than a pheasant; how could she possibly have such immense power?

"If you didn't offend the President, how could the Kyoto Huo family possibly expel us from the family registry?"

Father Huo on the other end of the line was hopping mad. "You still dare to lie and cover things up!"

Huo Yunzhe instantly felt deeply wronged and aggrieved. "I'm really not lying to you. I didn't even get to see President Huo, so how could I have offended him..."

"Shut up!" Father Huo couldn't be bothered to listen to this rebellious son's defense. "Get your ass back here immediately! Once that person's anger subsides, I'll take you to make a formal apology!"

With that, Father Huo angrily hung up the phone.

Furious, Huo Yunzhe punched the nearby wall, yet he didn't dare to disobey his father.

He cast one deep look at Xu Xu, who was surrounded by numerous young elites in the center of the banquet hall.

Reluctantly, he put away his phone and slinked away in disgrace.

Just you wait! Once he found out who was sabotaging his company, he would definitely not let them off the hook!

...

"Strange, why hasn't Brother Yunzhe come back yet..."

On the other side, Xu Yaorou had been waiting indefinitely for Huo Yunzhe to return, and she began to feel rather restless.

That little bitch Xu Xu had also disappeared just now...

Could they have gone off to tryst in private?

The mere thought of this fueled Xu Yaorou's rage!

Aggressively, she stormed up to Xu Xu and demanded angrily, "Xu Xu, where is Brother Yunzhe? Where have you hidden him?!"

Seeing Xu Yaorou's furious expression, Xu Xu was left entirely speechless.

"Xu Yaorou, it's your own business if you like picking up the worn-out shoes I've discarded, but I never pick up the garbage I've thrown away!"

Saying this, Xu Xu paused, lifting her chin slightly with a proud expression.

"Besides, my husband is ten thousand times more outstanding than Huo Yunzhe!"

Who would even want a narcissistic monster like Huo Yunzhe?

Xu Yaorou's expression turned ugly instantly, and she flew into a rage, cursing out loud, "I spit on that! Your husband is nothing more than a kept man who lives off women. In what universe does he even compare to Huo Yunzhe from head to toe?"

Hardly had her voice trailed off when the doors of the banquet hall swung open, and a tall, slender figure stepped inside.

The moment the man appeared, almost everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to him—

There was simply no help for it; the man was far too dazzling!

Leaving aside his breathtakingly ethereal, almost enchanting face and the sculpted, perfect physique wrapped in a tailored suit, the aura radiating from within him alone was captivating enough.

His steps were steady and elegant, carrying a natural, effortless presence with every movement.

As he drew closer, everyone involuntarily held their breath, their eyes filled with awe.

"With such an overwhelming aura, could it be that the President has arrived?"
