"I'm fine, I went to get food with Su Yu . " Huo Mian smiled .
"Dude, how could you not tell us that you were dining with the beauty? You made my wife so worried for nothing," Wei Liao jokingly said to Su Yu .
"I'd have no appetite if I told animals like you," Su Yu replied .
Huo Mian held Xiaowei's hand and said, "Xiaowei, I'm sorry for making you guys worried . You should go home, it's too late . You're having a baby soon too . "
"Mian, sleep at my place tonight . " Jiang Xiaowei was still worried .
"It's okay, it's safe here . I can't sleep on stranger's beds, I always lose sleep at your place, ha…"
Huo Mian insisted a few times before everyone agreed to let her stay at Sky Blessing Court alone .
"Mian, the court hearing is in two days . "
Gao Ran's voice was hoarse; he had been working day and night in order to free Qin Chu .
However, his efforts were in vain . Even his father couldn't amend the situation, which fueled his anxiety .
He even had an IV needle on the back of his hand… it seemed like Gao Ran was sick .
Huo Mian didn't want to cause anyone any more trouble .
"I'm a bit tired now, I'll go rest . I have a lot of stuff to take care of tomorrow at the company… You guys should go get some sleep too . We'll meet in front of the courthouse in two days . "
"Okay, rest well . " Zhu Lingling nodded .
"Mian, if you feel unsafe, call me immediately . I'll get a chauffeur to pick you up," Jiang Xiaowei worriedly reminded Huo Mian .
"Okay . "
Su Yu was the last one to leave after everyone else left .
"Will you really be okay?" he asked her once again .
"I will…"
"I'll be going then . "
"Mhm, right, wait up," Huo Mian called Su Yu .
He turned around .
"About the liquid explosive…" Before Huo Mian could finish her sentence, Su Yu finished it for her, "I won't tell anyone . "
"Smart boy, goodnight . " Huo Mian smiled .
"Night . "
When he left Sky Blessing Court, Su Yu was feeling depressed and ended up driving to one of the nightclubs to drink with Tang Chuan . . .
"What, weren't you with Huo Mian the entire evening? What's with the face?" Tang Chuan smiled .
"I'm depressed…"
"Depressed my ass . Say, why don't you make Huo Mian yours using this opportunity? Qin Chu's behind bars, this is your chance . "
"Go away, don't talk about this with me . "
"Oh you… You're such a coward… In my opinion, you'll never get Huo Mian . " Tang Chuan disagreed with Su Yu's way of pursuing Huo Mian at times .
He much preferred the old Su Yu . . .
The old Su Yu was arrogant, domineering, and would go after whatever he wanted . If he couldn't have it, he would rip it out of the others' hands . He had the personality of a pirate .
However, facing Huo Mian, Su Yu was as timid as a kitten . He couldn't do anything other than mourn to himself .
Upon hearing Tang Chuan's rant, Su Yu remained silent and drank . . .
He felt sorry for Huo Mian, who carried the burden on her own .
The situation was so terrible, but she still forced out smiles and persisted .
Sometimes, he selfishly wished that Huo Mian would break down, so he would have a reason to share her burden .
- The next morning -
Su Yu had her car delivered, and Huo Mian drove straight to GK Headquarters .
Huo Siqian's malicious purchase of GK's stocks had struck fear in every employee's heart .
Some investors took the chance to betray the company, selling their shares to Huo Siqian at a high price .
Huo Mian was turning pale from the anger . . .
"Young Madam, what should we do now? The company can't hold on much longer…" Yang hesitantly asked .
"Young Madam, should we look to finance our company like the other ones are doing?" Bella tentatively suggested .
