Chapter 1868: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (72)

Huo Jie looked at Huo Heng’s tensed and cold face and was slightly dazed.

He seemed to see Huo Ze’s in him!

At this moment, Huo Heng was like a devil that had come out of hell, evoking a chilling fear.

The men surrounding Huo Heng, who wanted to beat him up, shrank back when they saw him waving his knife in front of Huo Jie.

From the corner of his eye, Huo Heng saw a document on the coffee table. He picked it up and quickly scanned through it.

His lips curled into a mocking sneer. “Huo Jie, using such means to bully a young lady? You’re really a f*cking piece of trash!”

Huo Heng tore the document in his hand into pieces and threw it in front of Huo Jie. “Why? Do you want to sign her under your company and use her to deal with Huo Third Master?”

Huo Jie widened his eyes and looked at Huo Heng in disbelief.

He actually knew what he was planning?

Huo Heng sheathed the sharp knife and held Xia Cha’s wrist. Before Huo Jie could react, he brought her out of the room.

After leaving the clubhouse, Huo Heng released Xia Cha’s hand and walked in front of her with one hand in his pocket.Jian Ming had already sent Xia Xing to the hotel. He drove the car over to pick up Huo Heng and Xia Cha.

Seeing Xia Cha’s red and swollen face, he was shocked. “Young Master, are you sending Miss Xia to the hospital?”

Huo Heng did not speak. Xia Cha shook her head and said, “It’s not a big problem. I don’t need to go to the hospital. Where’s my sister?”

“She’s at the hotel. She’s safe.”

“Thank you.” Xia Cha shifted her gaze from Jian Ming to Huo Heng.

Without looking at her, Huo Heng got into the car first.

Jian Ming gestured for Xia Cha to get into the car. “Miss Xia, get in first!”

Thinking that Xia Xing was still in the hotel, Xia Cha nodded and got into the car.

Huo Heng sat by the car window. He took out a cigarette from his cigarette box, and lowered his eyes as he puffed on the cigarette.

Xia Cha looked at his tensed handsome face and bit her lip. “Thank you for saving me again.”

“It’s nothing.”Xia Cha noticed that Huo Heng’s expression was dark and he didn’t seem to want to communicate with her, so she tactfully kept quiet.

There were countless doubts in her heart. She did not understand why he was so cold to her.

The image of him and that beautiful woman embracing each other flashed across her mind, and she began to understand.

It was probably because he had a new girlfriend that he did this to avoid her misunderstanding.

Xia Cha lowered her thick eyelashes and a faint sadness flashed across her eyes.

…

The car arrived at the hotel.

Huo Heng had booked a presidential suite at this hotel.

Xia Cha saw Xia Xing, who was sitting on the sofa in Huo Heng’s suit, her face still pale. When she saw Xia Cha, she immediately got up and ran over, “Cha Cha, your face…”

“Second Sister, I’m fine. I just got slapped. I’ll be fine in two days.”

Huo Heng glanced at Xia Cha’s torn dress and her swollen face. He instructed Jian Ming before saying to Xia Xing, “Take her to her room to take a shower. Jian Ming will buy clothes and ointment later.”Xia Cha was pulled into the room by Xia Xing.

Huo Heng stood in the living room, smoking a cigarette.

The doorbell rang, and Huo Heng opened the door.

“You’re here.”

The noble and handsome man nodded. “How is she?”

“A little injured.”

Huo Third Master walked into the suite and Huo Heng brought him into the study.

…

After Xia Cha showered, Xia Xing washed her clothes in the bathroom.

Xia Cha felt thirsty and wanted to drink some water.

She went to the dining room to drink some water. She had something to ask Huo Heng.After looking around, she saw light streaming out from one of the doors. She walked over.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard Huo Heng’s voice. “She’s very talented in singing and acting. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that I didn’t want her to enter this industry two years ago, she would have already signed with the Third Master’s company.”

Xia Cha frowned.

She peered through the gap.

Huo Heng and Huo Third Master were talking.

He used to be disgusted by her interactions with Huo Third Master, but now he was talking to him about her?

Was it because he had met the woman he really cared about, so he didn’t care if she liked Huo Third Master?

Xia Cha clenched her fists.

“She has already attracted Fourth Brother’s attention. Only by signing into my company can she gain a foothold in this industry. Otherwise, no one can protect her,” Huo Third Master said in a clear and gentle voice.

“You’re right. I will seek her opinion.”

Xia Cha did not want to listen anymore. She turned around and returned to her room.Before Huo Third Master left, he wanted to take a look at Xia Cha. However, Xia Cha stayed in her room. He had an international conference that night, so he left.

Jian Ming bought clothes and ointment for her.

Xia Xing came out to get Xia Cha’s clothes.

Xia Cha changed her clothes and left the room.

Just as she was about to bid Huo Heng farewell, Huo Heng spoke first, “Come to my study.”

It was a completely formulaic tone.

After Huo Heng walked into the study for a while, Xia Cha came in.

Huo Heng handed a document to Xia Cha, “Third Master Huo just came over. He thinks very highly of you. This is the contract with his company. The terms inside are all in your favor. Take a look at it.”

Xia Cha looked down at the document.

Compared to Huo Jie’s contract that restricted her, Huo Third Master’s contract was indeed beneficial to her.

Huo Third Master had given her complete freedom. If there was a day when she wanted to terminate the contract, she would not need to pay a high penalty. Furthermore, the company would focus on training her and provide her with favorable resources.

Why did Xia Cha feel like a pie had fallen from the sky?

“After you came to Harbor City, did you work with Huo Third Master?” Did he dare to go against Huo Jie because he had Huo Third Master as his backing?

Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha with a light in his eyes that she could not understand. “I will fulfill whatever requests you have.”

Xia Cha did not understand what Huo Heng meant.

However, she would not use her career to spite Huo Heng. This contract was indeed beneficial to her.

If she didn’t sign it, Huo Jie might try to force her to sign that unfair contract.

She had already gotten herself involved in this messy situation and could no longer remain alone.

Xia Cha took a pen and signed her name.

“Please tell Master Huo that I won’t disappoint him.” Xia Cha stood up.

Huo Heng watched Xia Cha turn around and leave. “I’ll send two bodyguards to protect you secretly. Jian Ming will send you back later.”

When Xia Cha heard his words, the bitterness in her heart spread again.

When she was almost at the door of the study, she turned to look at the man sitting at the desk.

She walked over to the man aggressively and grabbed his collar with her fair hands. “Huo Heng, what do you mean by this? Am I someone that you can flirt with and kiss whenever you want and be cold to whenever you want?”
