The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 55: Is there anyone who seduces this kind of person?

The two men moved away from the main group and stood a little further away.

Gu Qingyin looked calm, waiting for her to speak.

Lin Xiaoyun smiled and said, "You are still the same as you were 20 years ago. You are always calm, as if nothing can disturb your heart."

Even then, when Gu Qingyin saw her coming out of Huo Yunjing's study in dishevel, her expression did not change at all. Instead, she looked even more like a clown.

"Let's get down to business." Gu Qingyin didn't want to play any reminiscing games with her.

Lin Xiaoyun choked and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained. She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and said, "This time, I am not only representing myself, but also the Huo family branch. I want to ask you for a favor."

Hearing this, Gu Qingyin was really surprised, "How can I help you?"

Lin Xiaoyun stepped forward and said, "You are the mistress of the Huo family and Huo Xingye's biological mother. As long as you ask, he will definitely agree! Please..."

"Stop!" Gu Qingyin raised her hand to stop him, frowning and saying, "The Huo family's affairs are not my business. It's useless to tell me. You've got the wrong person."

Lin Xiaoyun was very sad, "Are you...still blaming me?"

"what?"

"You saved me, and I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. But I have never lived in such a nice house, and I have never met such a noble man... I was just bewildered for a moment." Lin Xiaoyun's eyes were red, "I have reflected on it, I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

"Okay." Gu Qingyin was very happy. "I forgive you. Don't mention this matter again. It should have passed after so many years."

Lin Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, "Then Qingyin, are you willing to help me?"

Gu Qingyin couldn't help but laugh, "In the end, it's all for me to help you. But whether I forgive you or not is two different things."

"I just don't care about the things you did to me in the past, but that doesn't mean I have to help you now. Don't think too much."

The light in Lin Xiaoyun's eyes went out, and she seemed to have suffered a great blow. She murmured with a gloomy expression, "You still haven't forgiven me."

Gu Qingyin:......

Is she cosplaying some Qiong Yao heroine? There is no one else here, who is she acting for?
"Qingyin, the branch has had a hard time in the past two years, especially after the head of the family canceled the family banquet. People outside are speculating whether the Huo family branch has been marginalized by the Huo family. From the initial probing to the current suppression, they are getting more and more excessive."

Lin Xiaoyun seemed to not understand the refusal and insisted on finishing her words, "If this situation is not improved, more problems will occur in the branch company, and Huo's company may also be affected. You don't want Huo's industry to be in trouble because of this, right? We don't expect anything else, as long as the head of the family resumes the family banquet."

As long as the relationship between the branch and the main family is restored, those people outside who are taking advantage of the situation will naturally restrain themselves.

"Is the branch so weak?" Gu Qingyin said with disdain, "Can't you do business without relying on the prestige of the Huo family?"

Lin Xiaoyun was silent. She didn't know what to say. Of course, she could do business without relying on her family, but the profits she got would be much lower.

Over the years, they have been accustomed to eating delicacies from land and sea. Suddenly, they are fed with home-cooked dishes. Even if they can fill themselves up, they still feel unsatisfied.

Gu Qingyin understood and said with a half-smile: "It seems that it is not as serious as you said. I advise you to learn to walk independently and not always rely on others."

She guessed that Huo Xingye had similar thoughts when he made this decision.

What the branch needs is a leader who can truly stand on his own, not a blood-sucking leech who relies on the Huo family to bully others.

"But isn't that how business works?" Lin Xiaoyun couldn't understand. "It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. Since we have this condition, why can't we use it?"

Gu Qingyin couldn't make sense to her. She was a stubborn person and would not listen even if the reason was made clear to her.

The Huo family is powerful now, but that is also the result of the hard work of generations. The branch is now narrow-minded and unwilling to make progress. Sooner or later, it will become a cancer and affect the fortune of the main family.

Not wanting to waste time talking to Lin Xiaoyun anymore, Gu Qingyin turned around and left. Lin Xiaoyun didn't try to persuade her to stay, and since Gu Qingyin couldn't get through, she could only start with Huo Xinghai.

On the way back to the villa, Huo Xinghai looked at Gu Qingyin from time to time. After struggling for a while, he couldn't help but asked, "Mom, do you know Lin Xiaoyun?"

"Yeah." Gu Qingyin replied lightly, "The previous client lived in the old house for a few days and seduced your father."

Huo Xinghai was very shocked, "How dare she be so bold?!"

In my memory, his father has always been very serious, taciturn, and has a strong aura. When he was a child, just one look at him would make him scared for a long time.

Is there anyone who would seduce someone like this? Is it because life is too dull and they want to find excitement and challenge their limits?
Gu Qingyin snorted and laughed, "You can't judge people by their appearance. Some people may look like little rabbits on the outside, but they actually have big ambitions."

Huo Xinghai clicked his tongue twice, "She came to the show this time just for you? What does she want to do?"

"It may not be just me." Gu Qingyin speculated: "I didn't agree to the request, so she should look for you later."

Huo Xinghai thought for a moment, "Don't worry, Mom. I understand."

Gu Qingyin’s head was full of question marks. What did you understand?
Without waiting to ask any further questions, we arrived at the villa.

Gu Qingyin went back to her room, found her cell phone, called Huo Xingye, and told him about Lin Xiaoyun.

Huo Xingye was very calm. "If you want to enjoy the convenience brought by Huo's, you must first demonstrate your own value. At the end of the year, the revenue of each branch will be evaluated. The position of the top leader can only be secured if you have the ability."

To put it bluntly, this is a screening.

"Are you and Lin Xiaoyun old acquaintances?" Huo Xingye asked after finishing the business.

Gu Qingyin could only repeat it again, and then emphasized: "We are just strangers now, don't worry about it."

Huo Xingye: "Okay, I understand."

After chatting with her son for a while, Gu Qingyin hung up the phone and opened the information sent by Liu Ergou.

After reading it, she couldn't help but frown, and then she inexplicably remembered Lin Wu and the Taoist priest who didn't show his face when she was dealing with the Yin Gathering Formation in Huo Xingye Community.

She replied to Liu Ergou: No need to report, I will handle this matter. Is there any news about Lin Wu recently?

Liu Ergou: He hasn't appeared since he ran away last time, but maybe he's hiding his identity. Do you suspect Xia Zelin has a relationship with Lin Wu?

Gu Qingyin: I do have a hunch, you can check it out.

Liu Ergou immediately took it seriously. Gu Qingyin was extremely talented, and her spiritual perception, or the so-called sixth sense, was naturally very accurate. Since she had a premonition, then this matter was almost certain.

Liu Ergou: Okay, I’ll ask someone to check it out and tell you when I have news.

Liu Ergou: We really don’t need to report to the Xuanxie?

Gu Qingyin's mouth twitched, and she firmly replied, "No need."

If it were really reported, Huo Xinghai would definitely be punished.

Moreover, the compensation they are making now is actually not in compliance with the law, because the cause and effect have already been formed, and reversing it will inevitably cost a greater price.

In Xuanxie's opinion, this would disrupt cause and effect and the cost would outweigh the gain.
