After the Female Supporting Character Who Lost Favor Logged off, Her Ten Older Brothers Went Crazy - Chapter 832

Chapter 832: A Catastrophe
Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Qiuguang had used 100% of his strength in this slap. With the anger he had accumulated all night, he vented all his anger on his daughter.

Huo Ya was caught off guard by his slap. She didn’t expect her father to really hit her, so she was carried away by the other party’s strength and fell to the ground.

“You hit me!” Huo Ya covered her face in disbelief.

She widened her eyes slightly and stared at her father, who was standing in front of her and looking down at her from above. Looking at the other party’s tense expression from anger, she originally only felt a little guilty. However, from the other party’s extraordinary reaction this time, she realized that she seemed to have really caused a huge disaster.

Huo Qiuguang was even more furious when his daughter said this. His tone was even harder than before.

“I’m hitting you!”

“Do you know what trouble you’ve caused me!”

It was only at this moment that Huo Qiuguang realized that his daughter’s efforts recently weren’t to really take over his mantle.

Remembering that his daughter had seemed to display an interest in his work quite some time ago, Huo Qiuguang immediately had a bad feeling.

His voice trembled as he questioned his daughter. “How many times did you do this?”

“I…” Huo Ya’s shoulders trembled and she lowered her head at Huo Qiuguang’s question. She only stared at the floor and didn’t dare to speak.

The courage that she had suddenly felt when she was doing the crime in the past had fled to an unknown place. Only cowardice occupied her body now as she faced the current situation.

“Tell me!”

Seeing his daughter like this, Huo Qiuguang felt even worse. He already understood that Huo Ya had not only caused him a single huge disaster.

However, he had always trusted Huo Ya so much that he had let down his guard. That was why he only realized this today.

“…I can’t remember.”

In the suffocating silence, Huo Ya spoke softly.

She really couldn’t remember how many times she had done this.

The only thing she could remember was that every time she sent a message to Huo Xiuyuan, he would ask her to help him.

At first, Huo Ya refused, but the other party always told her about his difficulties. Moreover, he knew how to make use of Huo Ya’s love for him, so everything that happened after that was as expected.

“You!”

Hearing his daughter say this, Huo Qiuguang felt his vision go dark and he almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the sofa beside him and didn’t fall to the ground in a sorry state. Instead, he sat on the sofa weakly.

“You shouldn’t have done that.”

Huo Qiuguang’s mind was filled with thoughts about how to make up for the trouble his daughter had caused him. After a long time, he suddenly said this. However, his words were no longer as intense as before. He was even a little discouraged and tired.

He was old after all. Now that his hair was graying at the temples, he was long past the age of retirement. However, because of the trouble his daughter had caused today, he was mentally and physically drained.

“But Father, didn’t you help him before?” When Huo Ya heard his softened tone, the grievances in her heart finally poured out. “I clearly didn’t do anything wrong.”

In Huo Ya’s opinion, Huo Xiuyuan had worked with her father in the past. They were clearly on the same side.

Even though the other party didn’t tell her that he had returned to the country this time, Huo Ya was not angry because of this. Instead, she did her best to help Huo Xiuyuan.

She had always believed the other party’s words and believed that the Huo Corporation would belong to Huo Xiuyuan in the future, and the feelings she had hidden in her heart would eventually become reality.

“Huo Xiuyuan is no longer the person you know.”

Huo Qiuguang took a deep breath and only spat out this sentence. He was not in the mood to explain the changes to his daughter in detail.

Ever since he returned to the country, Huo Xiuyuan didn’t contact him at all. That meant that Huo Xiuyuan had already left the control of the branch family, not to mention that the other party had even curried favor with a new force.

This time, with regards to the Huo Corporation, Huo Qiuguang only wanted to protect himself, but Huo Ya’s actions had clearly disrupted his entire plan.

The living room fell silent again.

Although Huo Ya didn’t understand why her father said that, she knew that she had done something wrong. At this moment, she sat on the ground without saying a word.

Even though her knee had just hit something, she didn’t dare to reach out to rub it. She only carefully observed Huo Qiuguang’s expression on the sofa.

“…Come to the company with me tomorrow.” Huo Qiuguang made a decision after thinking for a long time.

He couldn’t care less about anything else, but as a father, he had to take responsibility for the trouble his daughter had caused.

Not to mention Huo Yichen’s methods after he took office. Although Huo Qiuguang had never experienced them before, he had heard a little about it. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to keep his current position after this disaster.

He could only try his best to retreat unscathed.

This was the best solution.

He just didn’t know if Huo Yichen would let him off.

Huo Qiuguang calculated in his heart and ordered his daughter forcefully. This time, he no longer doted on her.

No matter how long the night was, the light of dawn would always rise from the east and gradually disperse the endless darkness in the sky.

The moon gradually hid in the thick clouds. As time passed, it slowly descended and finally hid its figure.

People also began to return to their jobs. The workers bit their breakfast and clocked in to work with sleepy eyes to start a new day.

“Morning.”

“Morning, boss.”

“Good morning.”

As soon as Murong Qiao arrived at the company, she greeted many employees as she walked towards her office.

The interior of the new company was larger. Perhaps it was because she was not familiar with it yet, but she had to walk around the staff area before she could determine the direction of her office.

However, as soon as she arrived at the company early in the morning, she was drowned in the enthusiasm of the employees, making her feel a little happy.

However, as soon as Murong Qiao arrived at the office, she received a sudden call before her chair was warmed up.

“Boss, there’s a problem with the filming venue…”

The person who called was Chi Hanjing’s manager.

The other party didn’t panic. Although the background sounded a little noisy, he still spoke quickly and clearly explained the entire matter to Murong Qiao.

After Chi Hanjing came here to work today, the filming was originally going well. In the end, an accident suddenly happened at the venue, causing the equipment to be damaged.

According to the person-in-charge, the equipment was very expensive. Then, when the two sides communicated, their voices rose, and it was inevitable that the situation would turn ugly.

“I’m sorry to disturb you, Boss, but the amount the other party mentioned… I think even Mr. Jiang might not be able to make the decision.”

The manager’s last sentence was a little tactful. He also explained why he called Murong Qiao.

“Is she alright?” Murong Qiao couldn’t care less about the economic losses. The main thing was that it was best if the people were fine.

When the manager heard Murong Qiao’s concern, his tone immediately became hesitant and silent.

Hearing the abnormal reaction on the other end, Murong Qiao understood.

“…She’s a little injured.”

In the end, the manager still revealed it, but he didn’t say how serious it was.

When Murong Qiao heard this, she immediately frowned and stood up from her desk.

“I’ll be right there.”
