Chapter 799 - 842: Calling for Reinforcements
After thinking for a while, Pete picked up his phone and dialed a number!After two rings, the call was connected, and Huo Junmo’s familiar, deep voice came through, "Hello, Assistant Pete, what’s up?"
Pete replied leisurely, "President Huo, your wife is now in our president’s office. Do you have time to come over and pick her up?"
Upon hearing that Pete called Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue jumped up from her chair and yelled, "Why are you calling Huo Junmo? Hang up the phone now! Quickly...!"
Ling Yueyue, who usually had a loud voice, was now yelling at the top of her lungs, causing Pete to close his eyes in fright. Even Huo Junmo on the other end of the phone could hear her voice loud and clear.
Listening to Ling Yueyue’s voice coming through the phone, Huo Junmo wondered, "What’s she doing there?"
Pete said helplessly, "It’s a long story. Can you come get her now?"
"Alright, I’ll be there right away!" With that, Huo Junmo hung up the phone, dropped everything at hand, and rushed to the Mu Group.
Seeing Pete return his phone to his pocket, Ling Yueyue persisted, "What do you mean by this? Why did you call my Mr. Huo?"
Pete replied apologetically, "Miss Huo, I’m sorry, but I had no choice! The president asked me to call security, but given your distinguished identity and being our lady’s best friend, it’s not possible for me to resort to force! So, I had to call President Huo to have him come take you back! This was the only solution at the moment!"
"You...!" Ling Yueyue was so infuriated that she pointed at Pete with trembling fingers, unable to utter a word for a long while.
She felt she really came to the wrong place today! She just wanted her good friend to have an unforgettable birthday, to make Anxin happy!
Because she knew that no one could make Anxin happier on her birthday than Mu Beiting!
Women love romance. If Mu Beiting could give her a surprise, Anxin would definitely be very touched and very happy!
But unexpectedly, not only did Mu Beiting not appreciate her good intentions, he even wanted to have security kick her out! Her good intentions were utterly unappreciated!
"I’m sorry, Miss Huo," Pete bowed his head and sincerely apologized.
"If you had spoken to me kindly, I might have left! But now...!" Saying that, Ling Yueyue gritted her teeth and sat back in her chair, insisting, "But now, I refuse to leave! Don’t think you can call Huo Junmo and have him take me away, no way!"
Seeing this, Pete felt a faint headache, his brow and the corner of his eye twitching involuntarily.
And Mu Beiting seemed not to hear them at all, focused solely on handling business from start to finish! Ling Yueyue didn’t leave, and he didn’t forcibly ask Pete to call security to throw her out.
Looking at his boss, Pete knew that his boss was taking into account the lady’s friendship, showing a lenient attitude towards Miss Huo!
If anyone else dared to make such a fuss, the boss would have long ago thrown a fit and had security kick them out.
Ling Yueyue wouldn’t leave, and Pete couldn’t go back to work, so he just stood in the president’s office keeping her company!
Because Huo Tian Group and Mu Group were quite far apart, when Huo Junmo arrived, it was already forty minutes later!
Huo Junmo didn’t knock but directly pushed open Mu Beiting’s office door. When he saw Ling Yueyue sitting across the desk with arms crossed, her face all red with anger, he hurried over, squatted down, and gently coaxed, "Miss Huo, your husband specially came to pick you up. Come, let’s go home. I haven’t had dinner yet, you can join me!"
Ling Yueyue turned her head away, with a firm expression, "I’m not leaving!"
Huo Junmo asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Ling Yueyue proudly raised her chin, "No reason! I just won’t leave!"
"Honey, be good. Let’s go, and we can talk about everything at home, alright! This is someone else’s company; staying here isn’t right! Come on!" Huo Junmo forcibly pulled Ling Yueyue from the chair.
"I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving...!" Ling Yueyue insisted, refusing to go.
"Come on, my dear Miss Huo!" Saying that, he gave Ling Yueyue a firm kiss on the cheek, then picked her up off the ground, and, despite her struggles, carried her out of the president’s office.
Although Ling Yueyue continued to struggle, after Huo Junmo’s kiss, she visibly lost much of her strength.
Until Huo Junmo carried Ling Yueyue into the elevator and the elevator doors closed, the entire floor finally quieted down!
Huo Junmo carried Ling Yueyue all the way to the underground parking lot. Seeing them come down, the driver hurriedly opened the car door, and Huo Junmo gently placed Ling Yueyue in the back seat, then climbed in himself!
As soon as he got into the car, Huo Junmo pulled Ling Yueyue into his arms. Ling Yueyue struggled with all her might, punching Huo Junmo’s chest, shouting angrily, "Hey, Huo Junmo, why did you come here? I haven’t finished talking with Mu Beiting! Do you want to go home and kneel on a durian, is that it?"
Huo Junmo hurriedly grabbed her hand, puzzled, "I say, what did Beiting do to bother you, for you to storm into his company and refuse to leave for no reason?"
Ling Yueyue fumed, "He did bother me! He’s not treating my best friend well, can’t I be angry? I’m so mad! I said I’d come up with the plan, he just needed to follow it, and he wouldn’t agree! How could I not be angry?"
The more he listened, the more confused Huo Junmo became, "What plan? Why did you go to Mu Beiting today?"
"In a few days, it’s Anxin’s birthday! I thought, in over twenty years, Anxin has never had a real birthday! And this is also the first birthday they’re celebrating since their relationship became steady! I thought Mu Beiting doesn’t understand romance, nor does he know how to charm girls, so I wanted to give him some ideas, to make Anxin happy, and to give her an unforgettable and joyous birthday! But instead, he outright refused, saying I’m meddling and had Pete kick me out! Tell me, wouldn’t I be angry? Men may not have to understand romance, and can be stiff without sweet talk! But there should be basic sincerity, right! I can’t see any sincerity from him towards Anxin!" Ling Yueyue furiously poured out all her dissatisfaction with Mu Beiting!
Her face flushed with anger, but Huo Junmo couldn’t help but laugh.
Not only did Huo Junmo not speak up for her, but seeing him laugh, Ling Yueyue fumed even more, glaring at him and gritting her teeth, "Huo Junmo, just go ahead and laugh one more time!"
