Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 531 - 529: This Little Woman is Doing it on Purpose

Chapter 531: Chapter 529: This Little Woman is Doing it on Purpose

Huo Zhenyang’s brows were motionless, remaining indifferent.

Seeing his son’s lack of reaction, Huo Tianpei frowned, "...In both public and private matters, Su Yan has taken care of the Huo Family with meticulous dedication. Four years ago, when you had just had surgery in America, she was so exhausted from looking after you that she lost nearly forty pounds, and she was still wearing compression garments every day! These past few years, with my health failing, Su Yan has visited the Huo Mansion daily to see me, and when I’ve fallen ill, she has even taken personal care of me. I might not have a daughter, but if I did, I doubt she would be as devoted as Su Yan!"

Huo Zhenyang’s gaze remained bland, though his eyes involuntarily flicked towards Su Yan.

Over these years, Su Yan had given her all to her work and was extremely attentive to the old master in her personal dealings.

He was indeed aware that she had won over the hearts of everyone at the American Huo Mansion, but he hadn’t expected the old master to think so highly of her.

The dedication of these past four years was not in vain; there would always be gains, with the most significant being—when trouble arose, the old master would step in to protect her.

Compared to Jiayi, who he had been with for only a year, the old master’s affection for Su Yan might be deeper, after all these four years.

Huo Tianpei’s voice continued, "...In the year we just started establishing the market in America, a financial storm hit. The American branch of the Huo Group could only survive if we secured a major deal. It was Su Yan who waited outside that client manager’s office for three days and two nights without a bite to eat, shamelessly setting aside all dignity, until she finally got to see them and managed to touch their hearts, earning us a chance to negotiate! And in the second year in America—"

"Enough, dad," Huo Zhenyang, uninterested in reminiscing, raised an eyebrow, "There are too many who have merited the Huo Family. If I have to consider their past contributions every time they make a mistake, then the Huo Group might as well shut down! Not everyone can offset their faults with past achievements!"

With that one sentence, her sentence was passed again. Seeing the man’s expression of not wanting to say more, Su Yan felt a cold chill in her heart, and a salty wetness rushed to her eyes.

Catching sight of the sorrow on Su Yan’s face out of the corner of his eye, Huo Tianpei’s gray eyebrows furrowed, knowing it wouldn’t be easy to persuade his son. "Let’s do this, we won’t count what I’ve said. I want to hear what Jiayi has to say for herself!"

Huo Zhenyang’s expression darkened slightly, "There’s no need for that. My decision cannot and will not be challenged by her."

Huo Tianpei, however, stubbornly glanced at the butler, "Isn’t Jiayi in the hospital? Call her!"

Seeing his young master’s look, the butler had no choice but to do as instructed.

On the other end at Renxin Private Hospital, Jiayi’s mood had finally settled down after a restless night. She was leaning against the bed watching a TV series when an attendant knocked on the door and handed her the phone, "Miss Jiayi, a call for you."

A call? Jiayi was startled, turned down the volume of the TV, and gestured to the attendant with her lips, Who is it.

The attendant whispered in reply, "The old master has just arrived in Yunling from America and is currently at the Disheng Villa."

The old master of the Huo Family...has come to Yunling?

Upon hearing the old master’s name, the hand holding the phone trembled slightly without reason.

Although somewhat unfamiliar, it also stirred something within her.

This elder of the Huo Family might have been the closest to her besides Huo Zhenyang during that year she spent stranded in China.

It seemed the old master had returned to the country for her and Zaizai’s sake.

She took the phone, trying to calm her emotions, "Hello?"

On the other end, the butler glanced at both the old master and young master, whose faces were dark, and greeted her first, "Miss Jiayi, this is Butler Ou, accompanying the old master who has just arrived in Yunling from America. How are you feeling?"

Jiayi thought the man must be nearby, so she clenched her small, pink fist, brought it close to her lips, and gave a light cough, "Uh, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. Thank you for your concern. Staying in the hospital a bit longer, with no one to bother me, I should be fine."

Huo Zhenyang’s face darkened slightly. This little woman, truly acting every single moment.

Fine, act, keep acting to your heart’s content.

The butler looked at the old master before continuing, "Hmm, it’s like this, Miss Su just came to Disheng and told the young master she wanted to resign, and the young master agreed. However, Miss Su has always been the young master’s right-hand assistant, and the old master really doesn’t want to let her go. The young master agreed just because he saw Miss Su offend and wrong you. The old master just wants to ask for your opinion to see if you could forgive Miss Su and give her a chance to continue serving the Huo Group."

So that was it.

It seemed Su Yan had really won the hearts of everyone in the Huo Family during her years in America, with even the old master speaking up on her behalf.

If it had been just a few hours earlier, before Su Yan had arrived at Renxin, Jiayi might have resolutely said she wouldn’t forgive.

But at the moment, the image of Su Yan’s back, covered in scattered scars, made Jiayi waver. Asking her to treat Su Yan the same as before was absolutely impossible, but she also didn’t want to bear this debt in her midnight dreams, feeling like she had ruined someone’s life.

Maybe this matter could be the final repayment to Su Yan! From now on, they would owe each other nothing!

Just as she had been silent for a mere few seconds, Huo Zhenyang on the other end had already grown impatient and crossed one leg over the other, leaning back on the sofa, and opened his mouth:

"Alright, Daddy, like I said, whatever decision I make, she won’t object to it. Let it be."

What did he mean by whatever decision he made, she wouldn’t object?

Jiayi curled her lips, staying in the hospital as a form of passive resistance was purely out of spite; if this man really made up his mind, she would probably still have to compromise. Could she truly live in the hospital forever?

Only by wearing down his patience would he possibly let her and Zaizai off the hook!

Besides, it was clear that the old master Huo wanted to keep Su Yan, to keep such a capable lieutenant for the Huo Family. Making a call was just a formality. If she objected, what difference would it make?

Jiayi spoke up, "Since the old master feels it’s a pity to let go of Miss Su, I can’t be the Huo Family’s villain, causing you to lose a key player. It doesn’t matter to me; if you wish to keep her, then keep her."

Huo Zhenyang’s expression turned icy in an instant; this little woman was deliberately going against him.

Huo Tianpei, however, was overjoyed.

The butler then said, "Alright, then we won’t disturb Miss Jiayi’s rest anymore."

After hanging up, Huo Tianpei’s spirits were much lifted, "Jiayi isn’t that petty, what else do you have to say?"

Right now, Huo Zhenyang wasn’t in the mood to care about Su Yan’s departure. He suddenly stood up impatiently, striding out of the study, and upon reaching the door, he turned around, his eyes deeply cold, "Anyway, I don’t want to see her again!"

With those words, his long legs kicked up a cool breeze in the hallway, and his figure vanished around the corner at the door.

Huo Tianpei glanced at his son’s frosty silhouette, turned his head to look at Su Yan, and sighed, "His anger towards you hasn’t subsided. Stay by my side these days, and we’ll discuss later arrangements."
