Chapter 465: Make Amends

Chapter 465

"Come over here."

When Huo Yu spoke those words again, his face was filled with impatience. Liu Xin snapped back to reality and quickly walked over, cautiously leaning against him, her attention solely focused on him.

Qin Wei still wore a cold expression, but her heart began to stir with excitement.

"I was right! Something is off about these two!! My judgment of people is spot-on!!"

But what good did that do? At this moment, she had no idea what this person intended to do...

With that thought, Qin Wei felt a bit disheartened.

Consequently, an added weight of seriousness was visible in her already aloof demeanor.

"Liu Xin."

Huo Yu called her name.

"Mr. Huo, you called?"

Liu Xin responded softly.

Huo Yu tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Apologize to Miss Qin."

"Huh?"

Liu Xin clearly didn't understand why Mr. Huo would ask this, looking at him in confusion.

"Hurry up."

Huo Yu's tone softened as he patiently instructed her.

Liu Xin swallowed her saliva, reluctant as she was, but still approached Qin Wei:

"Miss Qin, I'm sorry."

Qin Wei remained silent, looking at Huo Yu, hoping for an explanation.

"Not sincere enough, let's try again."

Huo Yu sighed.

"Otherwise, learn from me, Miss Qin. I was wrong, Liu Xin."

There was an overwhelming sense of pressure, and Liu Xin obediently followed suit:

"Miss Qin, I was wrong..."

Huo Yu continued:

"Miss Qin, at the beginning of the year, during the reality show on the island, I caused you to fall into the sea, stranded on a deserted island, nearly dying. It was me who wanted you dead, I lost my conscience."

Both Liu Xin and Qin Wei wore equally astonished expressions.

Liu Xin shook her head:

"No, it wasn't me. I only wanted to teach her a lesson, no, it was Chen Xinya..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Xin felt a tearing pain in her scalp. Huo Yu stood up, grabbing her hair with one hand and pinching her neck with the other, pulling her into his embrace.

"I forgive them all, but please stop here. Mr. Huo doesn't seem to be friendly toward his artists, and I have no intention of signing with him. I have a general idea that this place is Mr. Huo's territory, but..."

Qin Wei's phone rang. Instead of answering immediately, she raised her phone to show him. The name displayed was Qiao Sixiao's.

"My friend is urging me to come back for dinner. I remember Mr. Huo just said he also invested in this movie. You don't plan to eliminate all the key creators before the movie is even finished, do you?"

Huo Yu laughed.

"Miss Qin likes to joke, and I like to joke too. I frightened Liu Xin, but as her agent, I naturally have to take good care of her. Liu Xin is also aware of it, right?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin, with tears streaming down her face, nodded continuously.

"Yes, yes... Miss Qin, thank you, thank you for forgiving..."

"Is it enough? Can I leave now?"

Qin Wei's phone rang again.

"Please go ahead, Miss Qin."

Huo Yu pointed toward the door.

"Mu Chen, escort Miss Qin back and be courteous to a lady."

"Miss Qin, enjoy your stay on the island. Today, I just wanted to show you a glimpse of my sincerity. We can discuss the rest later."

Sincerity?

Qin Wei was curious, but she didn't want to inquire further. She hadn't sorted out this matter yet, and if possible, she didn't want to know at all.

"Miss Qin, please."

Mu Chen released Liu Xin and stood up, adjusting his suit. He went ahead and opened the door for Qin Wei.

Leaving the villa and making sure they were the only two, Qin Wei finally asked him:

"If I don't intervene, would you really take action?"

Mu Chen replied lightly:

"You won't sit idly by."

"But will Liu Xin die?"

Qin Wei was a bit worried.

Mu Chen still smiled and led her forward, saying:

"Who would casually kill their own money tree? Liu Xin is still making money for the company, and Mr. Huo seems to like her at the moment..."

"So what does your boss really want? Did we come here just for a vacation? Does he want me to sign a contract? Does he want me to be a money tree like Liu Xin? Or does he want to treat me the way he treated Liu Xin?"

Qin Wei was completely confused, unable to figure it out at all.

Mu Chen stopped and turned around, looking at her with his hands behind his back:

"Miss Qin, my brother is extending an olive branch to you, albeit in a somewhat rough manner. But he just wants to make you happy. Look, even Liu Xin, who has bullied you, is kneeling before you now. Life and death are in your hands. Aren't you happy?"

"I'm not happy. The only one who can punish her is the law. No one, absolutely no one, can override the law."
