at the same time.

Inside a hotel suite.

Zhu Minghui, with his arm around Zhang Yudi, said helplessly, "Honey, I'm afraid I can't get involved in your family's affairs!"

"Pay back whatever amount you owe Chen Huo right now!"

"What?" Zhang Yudi's face turned ugly. "What do you mean by this?"

"Didn't we agree that we wouldn't have to settle this score? What are you afraid of, it's just a mere old grudge?"

"Damn it, I didn't want to either!" Zhu Minghui said irritably. "I just went home, and my dad gave me a real dressing down, telling me not to offend Chen Huo!"

"This guy not only cured Jiang Aiwei, but also gave my dad and the Zheng family head a good beating in front of the four major families!"

"My dad doesn't want to get into trouble right now!"

Zhang Yudi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Zhu Minghui, are you kidding me? Any one of your four great families is someone Chen Huo can't afford to offend!"

"What's more, with all four of your families working together, you're actually afraid of him!"

"What's going on?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Zhu Minghui said. "I really didn't expect that this Chen Huo would actually have some tricks up his sleeve! And with the Jiang family backing him up, he's probably only so arrogant!"

"In short, listen to me, pay back the money as soon as possible, and it's best to completely sever ties with Chen Huo. Don't mess with him unless absolutely necessary!"

"No, I..." Zhang Yudi gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Huo wants far more than 80,000. If you really calculate it, it's an astronomical figure for my Zhang family. How could I possibly afford it?"

"If we pay it back, my Zhang family will go bankrupt!"

"No, even if I have to pay it back, you have to pay it back for me!"

"Where am I supposed to find the money?" Zhu Minghui said, feigning helplessness. "I haven't taken over my dad's business yet, I don't have much money, and I can't help even if I wanted to!"

"You should go back and talk to your parents; they'll definitely be able to solve it!"

"Zhu Minghui, you!" Zhang Yudi trembled with anger and cursed, "You always flaunt your status as the eldest son of the Zhu family, but when it really matters, you're utterly useless. You can't even handle a convict. I must have been blind to be with you!"

"You even invited me to a hotel? What, you think you can just eat me up and leave? Heh, I, Zhang Yudi, am not someone to be trifled with!"

"I wouldn't give it to a dog! Get lost!"

"Hey, why are you so angry?" Zhu Minghui grabbed her, unwilling to give up. "It's just a little unexpected situation. Think about it, Chen Huo humiliated us, how could we just sit back and suffer in silence!"

"Besides my father, there's also the Zheng family! They're just being smug for now; they'll definitely get their revenge with interest later!"

"Just bear with it for now..."

"Really?" Zhang Yudi asked, half-believing. "Sure, then you pay!"

"I……"

"Heh, you want to eat for free when you have no money? Dream on!"

"Zhang Yudi, that's an unpleasant way to put it. My father has given a strict order: either you pay back the money yourself, or the Zhu family will use any means necessary to make you pay!" Zhu Minghui's face darkened. "You decide what to do!"

"Threatening me, huh!" Zhang Yudi took a deep breath. "Come on then, I don't believe Chen Huo can kill me! As for you, get as far away from me as possible!"

……

When Chen Huo returned home, he found that Li Qingran and Yin Yuhan had both left work.

Seeing the two of them beaming with joy, and even cooking for themselves, I couldn't help but wonder, "Did you two find some money or win the lottery? Why are you so happy?"

"Brother Huo, you're back!" Li Qingran exclaimed joyfully. "Brother Huo, I have some amazing news for you! Today, the Vice President of the Goddess Pavilion, President Yu Ji, personally approached us and said she's willing to cooperate with us. She'll invest 500 million initially, and she plans to increase that investment in the future!"

"What a pleasant surprise!"

"Didn't I tell you? I'll get the Goddess Pavilion to cooperate with you. There's nothing to be surprised about!" Chen Huo said with a nonchalant expression.

"Brother Huo, could it be that you really are the young master of the Goddess Pavilion?" Li Qingran was extremely surprised.

"Bullshit!" Yin Yuhan retorted, "Qingran, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"I just had a chance to ask President Yu Ji alone! Her answer to me was that the Goddess Pavilion has a history with the Chen family, so they want to give them a helping hand!"

"He's just riding on the coattails of the Chen family's fortunes; who does he think he is, some kind of young master!"

"Oh, I see!" Li Qingran said with a look of sudden realization. "Since it's out of respect for the Chen family, it does indeed have something to do with Brother Huo!"

"With the support of the Goddess Pavilion, I believe our company will surely flourish!"

"Today is a good day, Brother Huo! Yu Han and I are cooking ourselves, let's celebrate!"

Chen Huo was too lazy to argue; as long as his goal was achieved, that was enough.

Whether they believe they are the young mistress of the Goddess Pavilion or not is completely unimportant.

The three of them sat down at the table, ready to start eating.

Chen Huo suddenly put down his wine glass, frowned, and looked towards the door.

"Brother Huo, what's wrong?" Li Qingran asked curiously.

The next moment, a furious roar rang out: "Those inside, get out here and face your deaths!"

"Who is it?" Yin Yuhan's pretty face changed, and she hurriedly went out to see.

A huge crowd of people blocked the entrance.

A middle-aged man, who was in the lead, had a gloomy and resentful face, exuding a murderous aura.

"Holy crap, this...this looks like the head of the Sun family, Sun Hulin!" Yin Yuhan's face turned pale instantly. "It's over! Sun Guangbin was crippled by Chen Huo, and the Sun family has come to settle scores!"

"What should we do?"

Li Qingran also looked tense.

The two girls, after all, had never seen anything like this before.

For a moment, I was completely at a loss!

"The Sun family, a mere bunch of troublemakers, dare to trespass at my Chen family's gate!" Chen Huo retorted dismissively. "I'll go out and deal with them!"

"Brother Huo, no! If you cripple Sun Guangbin, Sun Hulin will be even angrier when he sees you!" Li Qingran grabbed him. "You leave through the back door right now, I'll go talk to him!"

"Sun Guangbin was shameless first; we acted in self-defense, not because we were in the wrong!"

"Qingran, their son is ruined. Do you think Sun Hulin will reason with you?" Yin Yuhan said urgently. "Don't go out yet! Contact President Yu Ji immediately! With her involved, I believe the Sun family won't dare to act recklessly!"

"That's right, we are now partners of the Goddess Pavilion..." Li Qingran took out his phone, about to make a call.

Chen Huo reached out and pressed her hand down: "It's a small matter, there's no need for her to come over, I'll handle it!"

"Brother Huo, what can you do about this?!"

"Exactly! When we need you to take responsibility, you run away; when we don't need you to step in, you like to play the tough guy!" Yin Yuhan glared at him. "You'd better get out of here, you're the one who teaches us this!"

"Chen Huo, get out here and face your death! You have the guts to mess with my son, but you don't have the courage to come out?" Sun Hulin's shouts rang out again, "If you don't show yourself, I'll wreck your Chen family mansion!"
