Huo Ye was very satisfied with what the paparazzi said, patted the other person on the shoulder, and smiled gently.

"If any headlines appear that smear Ms. Lin, then I'll take you down with me."

After he finished speaking, he bent down and got out of the van, a warm smile on his face, but there was no smile in his brown eyes.

Everyone in City A knows that Young Master Huo is gentle and refined, but not someone to be trifled with.

The methods he uses are definitely not as gentle as he appears.

After Huo Ye left, the paparazzi immediately drove away.

Lin Qingran returned to the hotel and had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw Yan Sui walking towards her.

"lady......"

When Yan Sui saw Lin Qingran return, he lowered his head and his expression was exceptionally polite.

Lin Qingran nodded slightly, her tone calm and composed.

"From now on, please call me Miss Lin in public to avoid the negative impact of calling me 'Madam' on the stock market of the Emperor Group."

Yan Sui's expression changed upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, and he looked at Lin Qingran with some confusion.

"Miss Lin, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Lin Qingran's eyes were calm and indifferent, without the slightest resentment or other emotions. She walked slowly to the door of the room, her tone remaining gentle and elegant.

"Just do as I say, and you won't go wrong."

Yan Sui nodded, and after watching Lin Qingran step into the room and close the door, he turned and left.

It's unclear what exactly happened between Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran.

Otherwise, Lin Qingran would never have said such a thing.

No matter what, Yan Sui had served Gu Moxuan diligently for several years.

Although I haven't spent much time with Lin Qingran, I have some understanding of her personality and way of handling things.

No matter what he called her before, she never said anything.

Yan Sui sighed helplessly and walked out of the hotel.

Lin Qingran returned to her hotel bedroom, packed her luggage, and glanced at the time. There were still two hours before boarding, which would be just right for her to get to the airport from here.

After she finished packing her luggage, she glanced at the bed she and Gu Moxuan had slept in together last night, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her clear eyes.

The knocking on the door disrupted all her thoughts.

She composed herself, walked to the door and opened it, expecting Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoruo to have returned, but to her surprise, the person standing at the door was Huo Wanqing.

Huo Wanqing rushed in as soon as Lin Qingran opened the door.

His expression was one of deep dissatisfaction and hostility.

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, calmly closed the door to the room, her expression unusually serene.

"what happened?"

Huo Wanqing slammed a stack of photos on the table, looked at Lin Qingran with a scrutinizing gaze, her eyes filled with deep mockery.

"Explain this to me, what is this all about? What exactly is your relationship with Huo Ye?"

Lin Qingran glanced at the photos on the table and frowned slightly. All of these photos were of her and Huo Ye together today.

She had been very careful and cautious beforehand, but she still ended up being photographed.

Her cool eyes were very calm as she glanced at Huo Wanqing and said softly.

"They're just some photos; they don't prove anything. There's absolutely no relationship between me and Young Master Huo."

There was indeed nothing between her and Huo Ye.

Huo Wanqing saw the calm and indifference between Lin Qingran's brows, and the mockery in her eyes was evident.

"I don't care what your relationship with Huo Ye is. I just need you to understand that the competition between our fourth branch and the first branch is very fierce right now."

"Huo Ye's purpose in approaching you is definitely not pure. If you dare to reveal any information to Huo Ye, then I think we have the ability to shut you up completely."

Lin Qingran's eyes were cold and clear as she stared at Huo Wanqing, then she chuckled softly and said...

“Then I underestimated Miss Huo’s abilities. As the eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the Huo family, Miss Huo is indeed the most qualified to speak on this matter. However… the fourth branch of the Huo family has no sons. As far as I know, Miss Huo has a younger sister who is currently studying abroad.”

"So you really think the fourth branch of the Huo family is capable of completely overtaking the first branch?"

The eldest branch of the Huo family also has a daughter, who is a business prodigy. It's impossible that Huo Wanqing's scandal wouldn't have reached Huo Jinsheng's ears.

Lin Qingran sat on Huo Wanqing's lap with a calm expression and a light, detached gaze.

“I have no intention of getting involved in the Huo family’s internal strife, so if Miss Huo is really afraid of being discovered, she should keep her distance from me and not threaten me.”

Lin Qingran glanced at the time as she spoke and said calmly.

"My flight back to Beicheng is at four o'clock this afternoon. I probably won't have any more cooperation with the Huo family in the future. Miss Huo, goodbye."

Her words were like a reassurance to Huo Wanqing.

Huo Wanqing's angry expression had also subsided considerably.

She glanced at Lin Qingran tentatively, only to see Lin Qingran pull out her luggage and walk past her, speaking softly.

"Huo Ye is a very sensitive person. If you really don't want him to discover anything, you must first learn to control your emotions. Coming to me in such a rage today, I'm afraid it will reach Huo Ye's ears in the next second."

Huo Wanqing gritted her teeth inwardly, watching Lin Qingran calmly instructing her, and retorted defiantly.

"You're so tough in front of me, but why do you soften up in front of Lin Xiaoruo? I heard that at the banquet last night, when Gu Moxuan introduced Lin Xiaoruo, he referred to her as his wife."

"He trampled your face under his feet in front of so many people, why didn't you fight back?"

Lin Qingran's lips curled slightly, and her expression showed no embarrassment despite Gu Moxuan's words.

She glanced at Huo Wanqing indifferently; Huo Wanqing was just too direct, venting her temper directly.

This is a major flaw in her personality. If others were to exploit this weakness, the fourth branch of the Huo family would truly have no chance of turning things around.

"Isn't silent resistance the most powerful form of retaliation? Do you think she can sit comfortably in the position of Mrs. Gu?"

No one can understand the torment Lin Xiaoruo is currently enduring.

Lin Qingran walked out of the hotel with a smile on her lips.

Yan Sui saw Huo Wanqing rushing over, and her expression seemed off. Worried that Lin Qingran might be in trouble, he turned around and went upstairs.

Just as I reached the door, I saw Lin Qingran pulling her luggage out from inside.

"Husband... Miss Lin, you..."

When Lin Qingran saw Yan Sui come up, she glanced indifferently at Huo Wanqing sitting on the sofa and said in a low voice.

"My flight back to Beicheng is at four o'clock this afternoon, Miss Huo, could you please help me with my reception?"

Huo Wanqing suddenly stood up from the sofa, her expression disdainful.

"I'm leaving now."

Lin Qingran remained calm, while Huo Wanqing walked past her, entered the elevator before her, and closed the elevator doors to go down.

"Madam, aren't you waiting for Mr. Gu to return to Beicheng together?"

Lin Qingran shook her head calmly, her tone even.

“D&K’s spring launch event is about to begin. I still have work to take care of in Beicheng, so I won’t stay here any longer. If Gu Moxuan comes back later, just tell him that I’m going back to Beicheng ahead of schedule.”

After she finished speaking, she pulled her luggage and walked into the elevator without the slightest hesitation.

Yan Sui pursed her lips, and she could almost picture Gu Moxuan's cold and stern face when he heard the news.
