Chapter 62.1: Finale (Part 2)

　　Subsequently, Huo Rongshen’s Weibo page was also occupied by others as the comment section below was filled with all sorts of clamoring.

Oh my god, what did I stumble upon? Did Leading Billionaire Huo just change his profile picture?

Am I the first person who discovered that Leading Billionaire Huo had changed his profile picture?

He’s so handsome! I wonder which magazine this front cover belongs to? Anyway, is there anyone around who can translate whatever is written in this magazine?

This magazine is, in fact, released in Country M and specializes in the list and interview for Forbes’ Annual World’s Billionaires. Honestly speaking, Leading Billionaire Huo has always been so good-looking. When I was studying abroad, I heard from one of my seniors that he had once seen Leading Billionaire Huo at a certain exchange program with his own eyes. Not only that, but he has also mentioned that Leading Billionaire Huo looks as though he’s a renowned international model. If the total mark is 100, his image will probably exceed the full marks by 10.

I’ve had the honor of seeing Mr. Huo from afar at a c*cktail party in London, and he was so darn good-looking! At that time, I couldn’t help but be so envious of Miss Jiang Dai, especially when they were such a great match in terms of their image and temperament. Didn’t they release a couple of photos during their wedding? Have you guys not seen them?

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I think I’ve seen them before…… It’s just that it has been far too long, so I can’t exactly remember them clearly. So, does this mean that Leading Billionaire Huo was born with this figure? To think that you’d be able to see his pecs and mermaid line through his shirt!

I think I’ve seen the video clip of Leading Billionaire Huo being scolded by his ex-wife that topped the most searched hashtags half a year ago? Although only the ex-wife’s face can be seen in the video, who knows where the rumor that Leading Billionaire Huo was a greasy middle-aged man had begun circulating? Gosh, to think that I nearly believed it when he’s, in fact, so young and exceptionally handsome! Drools!!

Oh my god, I’m so dead! My manager had just reprimanded me for skiving off work to lick the screen! Boohoo…… Weibo is truly a torturous fiend! Why did it have to let me get to know two ultra-rich men with celestial beauty within one day?!?!

I’m sorry, President Jiang, but I’m just so jealous that you have such a famous childhood friend as your sidekick, a banking tycoon pursuing you persistently, and a leading billionaire publishing a Weibo post to show his support! Aaaaah, I’m so jealous! Gosh, I’m totally green with envy today! _(:з」∠)_

Do you happen to have other pictures as well, Leading Billionaire? Why don’t you upload some more? If you don’t, you can always upload a selfie! From now on, I’ll have Leading Billionaire Huo as my phone wallpaper and Daddy Liang as my lock screen wallpaper. In any case, I can probably brag that I possess two wealthy, pretty boys!!!

　　As she refreshed the page frantically, the number of followers soared by the hundreds each second. On seeing this, Secretary Sheng could not help but be teeming with emotions and confidence!

　　‘Heh, these three ignorant straight men! They did not have a single clue about women, let alone the fact that 70 percent of the onlooking netizens were, in fact, girls! Even if there were male netizens, they were also obsessed with one’s appearances! Come on, how can anyone not be obsessing over another’s appearance in this day and age?’

An individual with only money in possession = Nouveau riche 　　An individual with money and cultural upbringing = Poised businessman 　　An individual with good looks, perfect figure, and money = The nation’s male god

　　Thanks to her years of experience in surfing the net, Secretary Sheng had developed a deep understanding of this.

　　At the same time, netizens had been pinging Huo Rongshen frantically to post other pictures.

　　Of course, Sheng Wanwan would not have dared to upload more pictures. After all, she took on the risk of getting fired, in order to change his profile picture.

　　At the very least, she was able to single-handedly pull over a massive portion of Liang Jingche’s popularity. In this case, she would be commended by President Huo, right?

　　If it had only been matters between his ex-wife and himself, he would not have minded it. However, two influential men had to force their way into this, creating an epic love square. One could imagine how everyone would be having a good laugh and engaging in gossip about it.

　　After all, Huo Rongshen was never fond of people snooping around. If it were not for Jiang Dai, he would never have created a Weibo account, not to mention looking through the list of most searched hashtags.

　　Despite the sense of discomfort that welled up in his heart, he persisted in doing all of this for Jiang Dai’s sake.

　　As for the old man, it was highly likely that he found it far too intolerable and beneath him to be involved in a fight with two other men for Jiang Dai, so he had called to reprimand Huo Rongshen.

　　Yet, the other end of the call resounded in silence for a couple of seconds. 

　　All of a sudden, a deep resounding voice assaulted Huo Rongshen’s ears. “Are you kidding me? How could you still be working at a time like this? What sort of work is so crucial that it requires you, the president of the Huo clan, to deal with it personally? Can’t you just delegate the work to your subordinates?”

　　Upon hearing such an utterance, Huo Rongshen was rendered stunned. “What……do you mean by that, Dad?”

　　At this juncture, anxiousness and anger welled up inside of Father Huo. “Aren’t you concerned that Liang Jingche has confessed to Jiang Dai publicly?”

　　Only then did Huo Rongshen fall into a bout of silence.

　　Yes, Liang Jingche had indeed confessed to Jiang Dai. Hence, he reckoned that Qiao Jinye was unable to sit still any longer since this kid had not developed feelings for Jiang Dai in merely a day or two. One look was all it took Huo Rongshen to see through Qiao Jinye and figure out all the tricks he had up his sleeves.

　　Although Jiang Dai’s feelings for him might be pure, his feelings were anything but that! What’s more, it had been that way ever since their high school days!

　　If he had not acquired the status of a renowned celebrity, Huo Rongshen reckoned that Qiao Jinye would have been even more daring than Liang Jingche.

　　As for himself, there was nothing much that Huo Rongshen could do about his current situation……

　　After all, Jiang Dai had turned him down repeatedly, to the extent where she refused to give him another chance and remained obdurate on her rejections.

　　What made him want to cough up blood the most was that these two men could pursue her fairly and openly, yet he could not.

　　Even so, he could not help but gnash his teeth with rage when someone dug their grave by spreading rumors and attempting to discredit Jiang Dai. However, it took him ages to draft out his clarification statement as he was afraid that Jiang Dai might find something inappropriate and become fed up with him.

　　Yet, what he feared most was that even if his words were appropriate, Jiang Dai would somehow still find it irksome as he was the one who did this.

　　No one could ever be in a more arduous position than him, not even these two men.

　　Be that as it might, Huo Rongshen had never expected his father to give him a call regarding this. As such, he lapsed into silence.

　　Much like his father, Huo Rongshen had always been taciturn and introverted. As such, silence hung thick in the air for such a long time that no one uttered a single word in the course of ten minutes.

　　Eventually, it was Father Huo who broke the silence by heaving a deep sigh. “How will you get your wife back when you are so introverted and taciturn? Do you think you have what it takes to achieve that?”

　　Upon hearing that, Huo Rongshen was rendered speechless.

　　For as long as he could remember, not once had his father ever spoken to him with such disfavor, especially when he had always been most outstanding and could pretty much do anything.

　　Besides, how could he, as a male, say that this was impossible for him?

　　He questioned in a hushed tone, “How is it that I don’t have what it takes?”

　　Father Huo scoffed, “From what I can see, I doubt you have what it takes! Not only had they known each other when they were young, but both Qiao Jinye and Jiang Dai were also great friends for several years before adulthood. I’m sure you know how precious relationships are between teenagers. Look at how you and Pei Jun would give anything to be like a family since childhood, and you’ll know!”

　　Huo Rongshen refuted, “……He’s not good enough for Jiang Dai.”

　　Father Huo chided, “It’s not up to you to decide whether he’s good enough for her since this is a matter of Jiang Dai’s willingness and affections. Besides, even if Qiao Jinye is unsuccessful, there’s always Liang Jingche, and his family’s financial capabilities in Country M are on par with our Huo clan. If he were to set aside half of all his assets for Jiang Dai, I can’t say for sure that she wouldn’t be tempted by it. In any case, it’s not the assets that matter, but rather, it is sincerity. Since Jiang Dai is so outstanding and alluring, she will eventually fall in love and remarry once more. From what I’ve seen, I think Liang Jingche seems pretty sincere about it, and it’s quite possible that both of them were once in a relationship.”
