71 What Did You Help Me With?
Hou Junlai said indifferently, “Miss Liu, what did you help me with?”
Liu Xin’er said loudly, “I was the one who pleaded with the Li family about your company’s project, so the Li family gave you a chance to cooperate and even invested in your company.”
Hou Junlai sneered and said, “Miss Liu, do you know that you’re a complete clown now? The reason the Li family cooperated with me was because of Jian Xing’er’s help, but you’re saying that it was your credit? How can you be so shameless?”
Liu Xin’er was speechless and angry.
After Liu Xin’er thought about it for a moment, she said mockingly, “Jian Xing’er is useless. How can she be so capable? Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Hou Junlai said indifferently, “You’re not worthy of calling Jian Xing’er useless. If Jian Xing’er is useless, then what are you? Even such a useless person is more capable than you. Without the Liu family, who are you to stand here and clamor?”
Hou Junlai wasn’t angry. As he spoke, he remained calm.
In comparison, Liu Xin’er was like a shrew.
Liu Xin’er had been pursuing Hou Junlai for a long time, but Hou Junlai didn’t like her, so Liu Xin’er didn’t want to continue pretending anymore and fell out with him.
Liu Xin’er could only blame herself for being so stupid.
After all, no one would be stupid enough to fall out with someone they liked in public.
Only an idiot like Liu Xin’er would do such a thing.
Liu Xin’er lost completely.
After Liu Xin’er calmed down, she regretted it, so her expression became gentle as she looked at Hou Junlai and said, “Junlai, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I’ll apologize now.”
Hou Junlai ignored her completely.
Liu Xin’er continued, “Junlai, I really like you. I was so angry just now because I liked you so much that I couldn’t control myself.”
Hou Junlai’s expression remained cold.
Liu Xin’er said indignantly, “Junlai, how can you treat me like this?!”
Then, Liu Xin’er reached out to grab Hou Junlai as she said, “I know you care about me. The last time I went to the hospital, you were very concerned about me and came to the hospital to accompany me every day.”
Hou Qiang stood up and looked at Liu Xin’er as he said, “Stop! Miss Liu, stay away from Junlai. This isn’t a place for you to act atrociously. This is Tianmei Corporation.”
After a pause, Hou Qiang sneered and said, “You’re really shameless. Junlai already told you to get lost, but you’re still pestering him. Why don’t you go back and get a look in the mirror? What right do you have to pursue Junlai?”
When she heard this, Liu Xin’er’s expression darkened.
Liu Xin’er roared, “Hou Qiang, who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my and Junlai’s matters?”
Hou Qiang said disdainfully, “Don’t forget that I’m from the Hou family. If you want to bully Junlai, of course I have to help. If you keep acting like this, the Hou family will compete with the Liu family.”
Liu Xin’er gritted her teeth.
She didn’t expect the Hou family’s inner clan to help Hou Junlai.
Although Hou Junlai’s family wasn’t very powerful, the Hou family’s inner clan was very powerful. They were comparable to the Liu family in terms of strength, and they were also in Tianmei Group’s meeting room. If they were not careful, not only would Liu Xin’er be doomed, but the entire Liu family would probably disappear.
If that happened, Liu Shang would definitely beat Liu Xin’er to death.
Liu Xin’er could only swallow her anger and return to her seat angrily.
Hou Junlai immediately said, “Thank you, Uncle Hou.”
Hou Junlai knew that Hou Qiang had defended him in order to curry favor with Jian Xing’er, but Hou Junlai still thanked him.
Hou Qiang smiled and said, “Junlai, there’s no need to be so polite. We’re all members of the Hou family, so of course we have to be united against outsiders.”
Hou Junlai smiled, but didn’t say anything.
Hou Qiang continued, “Junlai, since we’re family, you can just call me Uncle. Calling me Uncle Hou sounds too distant. Do you think I’m not worthy of being your uncle?”
Hou Junlai immediately said, “No, I didn’t mean that.”
Hou Qiang said, “It’s fine. I was just joking. In the future, don’t call me Uncle Hou.”
Hou Junlai nodded with a smile.
If it were in the past, as an inner clan member, Hou Qiang wouldn’t even look at Hou Junlai.
Just like what had happened just now. In the past, not only would Hou Qiang not defend him, but he might even insult Hou Junlai with the others.
However, Hou Qiang wouldn’t do that now. All of this was because of Jian Xing’er.
