“The regulations only limit Huo’s employees. I won’t interfere with men from outside, but…” he paused, a sarcastic curve forming on his lips, “I seriously doubt how many men will continue to pursue you once they understand what kind of woman Shao Pingxi really is?”
A woman who is unfaithful and fickle in love, no matter how beautiful or charming, will make men hesitate.
“Mr. Huo, what do you mean?” Huo Juren’s obviously derogatory remarks caused her beautiful willow-like eyebrows to furrow.
“What I mean is that no matter how good-looking an apple seems, once people discover that beneath its beautiful red exterior lies only a mass of rotten flesh, all the passionate suitors will immediately vanish. After all, no one is interested in something already rotten.”
“Mr. Huo, why don’t you just directly say that I’m that apple with a gorgeous exterior but rotten inside?” If you want to insult me, why not be direct?
“Your expression seems to say: ‘I don’t agree’!”
“No! Mr. Huo, I agree! I actually completely agree with your statement that seems to be implying yourself. Having a beautiful face and recklessly playing with others’ emotions, treating others’ genuine feelings like a joke – using the metaphor of a superficial rotten apple might not be the most apt, but it does describe the situation quite accurately.”
The emotional wound sealed for over a year was now forcefully torn open again.
Upon hearing this, a fierce cold current immediately swirled around Huo Juren.
“Who is the one with a beautiful face, recklessly playing with others’ emotions, treating others’ genuine feelings like a joke – someone even more rotten than a rotten apple?” Shao Pingxi’s accusation was deliberately provoking Huo Juren’s anger.
She played the victim’s role so brilliantly! She even portrayed him as a heartless man deserving universal condemnation!
In fact, who was the woman who was with him while simultaneously being ambiguous with Li Jiangshu?
Memories flashed through Huo Juren’s mind, scene after scene. His fists suddenly clenched tightly.
The assistant May, who had been sitting in a corner of the office wanting to leave but not daring to, was forced to watch the situation unfold. At this moment, the coffee in her hand finally fell due to her violent trembling.
