Chapter 8: CH 8

The two of them finished taking a bath, and as they prepared to go to sleep, Huo Ming Chen received a phone call. He took a long look at the caller ID and then said to Lu Qi,
“I’m going to take this call.”
He lifted the bed sheets off of him, and got out of the bed to head to the balcony.
Huo Ming Chen was talking on the phone with someone Lu Qi didn’t know. Partitioned by the glass door leading to the balcony, Lu Qi could see Huo Ming Chen scowling and walking back and forth in frustration with one hand in his pocket.
Huo Ming Chen kept nodding and humming acknowledgements as if to pacify someone in an argument. Lu Qi watched Huo Ming Chen for a little longer and then returned his gaze, focusing back onto his phone.
The night was a little chilly. When Huo Ming Chen came back to bed, he brought along cold air into the sheets. He clung onto Lu Qi like an octopus squeezing with its tentacles, and said irritably,
“My older brother just called me, and wants me to go back home this weekend.”

Lu Qi glanced at the clock, and thought about what happened at this time in his past life… Huo Ming Chen’s uncle should be returning from abroad. Speaking of whom, the reason why he could have attained Huo Ming Chen’s family fortune and business was due to the help of this uncle.
Huo Ming Chen is the second eldest in the family. He has an elder brother called Huo Ming Cheng. In his previous life, when Huo Ming Chen’s grandfather retired, it was Huo Ming Cheng who picked up the mantle and succeeded the family business. Who could have known that one year later Huo Ming Cheng would suddenly die in a car crash, causing their grandfather, who could not accept the news, to pass away as well.
As the only male left in the main Huo family line, Huo Ming Chen was forced to take the mantle and bear the enormous pressure by himself. Even though Lu Qi did not really pay that much attention to the situation back then, he could still remember when Huo Ming Chen received the news of his brother passing. Still remember that haunted look as he sat alone in the hospital hallway.
Huo Ming Chen’s uncle never gave up trying to take over for the family business, but he never thought that Huo Ming Chen, being as young as he was, had the actual skills to be the head of the family. He could not find fault in the way Huo Ming Chen was doing things, and so he was forced to look at other avenues which brought him to Lu Qi.
He thought he could give a sum of money to Lu Qi and have Lu Qi join his side. Too bad he was too shortsighted to see Lu Qi as a formidable enemy. Huo Ming Chen also did not consider Lu Qi as an opponent on the chess board. Who knew someone so stoic could have hidden that ambition. A nefarious ambitious schemer who won in the end.
Lu Qi paused then and thought a bit harder, a winner?
