Eight o¡¯clock at night, Nancheng International Airport.
Having stayed in M Country for two years, I almost forgot how extraordinarily hot the summers in Nancheng are, still humid even at night.
By the time Su Wanwan arrived at the car park, her forehead had already broken out in a light sweat.
Her seaweed-like jet-ck curls fell to her waist, paired with an off-the-shoulder floral chiffon top, indigo denim shorts, and a pair of slender straight legs in white shoes. Under the cover of night, her skin was so pale it glowed.
As she was about to use her phone to call her girlfriend, a red Maybach stopped in front of her.
Good thing her girlfriend was so punctual!
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t hesitate to walk over and open the rear car door.
As soon as she sat in the car, a gush of cold air hit her.
How refreshing!
¡°Is there a problem?¡±
A deep maic male voice abruptly broke the silence, with a very clear tone of indifference.
Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly turned her face to look at the person sitting next to her.
Snort!
Why was there a man next to her?
He was wearing a custom, pristine white shirt, with a dark patterned tie, revealing a hint of a mature and handsome businessman.
Perhaps it was the lighting in the car that made his face appear long and sharp, his features even more chiseled. Under those dense and well-groomed eyebrows, a pair of slightly narrow eyes hooked upwards, incredibly refined, deep, and serene like obsidian.
His high nose, frosty thin lips, coupled with his beautifully sculpted jawline¡
He was very pleasing to the eye, extremely charming, and incredibly aloof.
One could even say he was ¡°breathtaking.¡±
Sitting there, he was looking at the youngdy who had haphazardly gotten into the wrong car, his brows slightly furrowed, lips thinned, throwing an aloof and impatient nce.
The phone started ringing at that moment, pulling Su Wanwan back to reality as she answered it.
¡°Baby Wanwan, the entrance here is blocked, don¡¯t worry, I should be there in another 10 minutes,¡± her best friend Mo Weiyi said.
Su Wanwan was speechless: ¡°¡I see.¡±
She had indeed gotten into the wrong car.
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan quickly exined, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I got into the wrong car.¡±
The man didn¡¯t respond, and his poker-like handsome face still looked indifferent.
Su Wanwan felt rather embarrassed and was about to get out of the car. At that moment, another frivolous male voice said, ¡°It¡¯s just getting in the wrong car, it¡¯s not like she jumped into something else¡ Big brother, you don¡¯t need to be so ferocious, you¡¯re going to scare the poor girl.¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan turned her gaze to the front seat.
She knew that her striking appearance often invited this kind of teasing.
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, miss,¡± the young man continued, still grinning from ear to ear. ¡°My big brother may seem cold and aloof, but in fact, he¡¯s never had a girlfriend, he¡¯s still a¡¡±
Before he could finish, a deep, resonating bark suddenly echoed in the car.
¡°Woof¡ª¡±
Immediately afterward, a ck shadow shot out from under the seat and hurled itself towards Su Wanwan.
¡°Ahhhh¡¡± Su Wanwan, whose face had until now been calm andposed, was scared into a frenzy. She instinctively recoiled backwards, crying, ¡°Help! Help!¡±
Nangong Ci¡¯s speech was cut short by this unexpected spectacle.
My God!
He admitted that his big brother had a handsome face that any woman would want to throw herself at. But toke the initiative even before properly meeting¡
Youngdy, you¡¯re the first!
Tsk tsk, I can¡¯t bear to watch this!
He thought she was quite pretty, with those cold and icy eyes, so he wanted to crack a joke to lighten up the serious atmosphere in the car. But surprisingly, the girl was quite audacious.
At least the good thing was, his car was soundproof, and the windows had a protective film on them, so from outside, one could not see what was happening inside, otherwise¡
¡°KO.¡± A cold male voice interrupted his thoughts.
Upon hearing his name, the German Shepherd let out a ¡°howl¡± and started pawing excitedly.
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was so scared that she was just about to lose her voice.
Because of an unfortunate incident when she was a child, she was fearless of everything except dogs, especially suchrge and fierce ones.
At this moment, she didn¡¯t dare to lift her head, instead, desperately twisting to avoid the dog, and clung to the man beside her as her single lifeline.
In the confusion, she waspletely unaware of the certain difort she was causing the man.
As for Huo Jingshen.
He still sat there, motionless, only his thin lips had been pursed into a rigid line, indicating his somewhat displeased mood at that moment.

After another bark, Su Wanwan was so frightened that her entire body trembled.
Just as she was about to struggle again, her shoulder was already gripped by a pair of big man¡¯s hands.
While tossing her aside, Huo Jingshen frowned deeply, an expression of distaste almost leaking from the screen.
His low voice rang out again, ¡°KO, are you still causing trouble?¡±
The wolfhound whimpered and finally obediently crouched back in its original seat.
The car door¡¯s lock was disengaged.
Su Wanwan guarded her own face, not wanting to say a word. She tumbled out of the car and collided with the car door with a loud ¡®ng.¡¯
The inside of the car was silent for a full three seconds.
Then.
¡°Pfft!¡± With irrepressibleughter, Nangong Ci burst out, ¡°Big brother, your dog¡¯s taste is too sharp, isn¡¯t it? Does it see that the youngdy is pretty? Thinking about giving you a happy surprise, right? Good boy, it almost tore the youngdy¡¯s pants¡¡±
Huo Jingshen gave him a cold look, forcing him to shut his mouth.
However¡
¡°But, big brother, your romantic luck isn¡¯t light either, your shirt was dirtied.¡± Nangong Ci added almost involuntarily.
On hearing this, Huo Jingshen looked down.
Sure enough.
The once spotless white shirt had been messed up by Su Wanwan¡¯s grabbing. The hem was smeared with arge swathe of red from her lipstick.
White, red¡ inexplicably gave off an ambiguous vibe.
¡°Big brother.¡± When the man spaced out, Nangong Ci¡¯s cunning voice rang out again, ¡°What do you think about that youngdy just now?¡±
Huo Jingshen lightly lifted his eyelids, his face cold, his voice even colder, ¡°What about her?¡±
Seeing somebody¡¯s cold killer look, Nangong Ci felt a bit hesitant, almost shivering as he spoke, ¡°I mean¡ I mean¡ How does she look?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s ck eyes narrowed slightly.
His face expressionless, arrogant as usual.
The next second, he spat out a few words from his thin lips: ¡°Her skin is quite fair.¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°¡¡±
His clean, handsome face twitched violently.
Damn it, big brother is such an old pervert!
Pretending to be so serious, making him think that he said something wrong to upset him, to the point of sweating from his back.
**
Half an hourter, in a Mercedes luxury ck sedan, Mo Xiaose, the little princess of the Mo family, stared with her white-and-ck cat¡¯s eyes, her palm-sized pretty little face full of bafflement and confusion.
Because her bestie Su Wanwan had been busy touching up her makeup ever since she got in the car.
Her hair was messy, her expression panicked, especially her lips, smeared all over with lipstick, as if someone had just bitten them¡
¡°Baby Wanwan, you really are savvy, indeed studying abroad makes a difference, huh? Are the people overseas especially liberal? I never thought that even you are now so good at this, ying even on the ne¡¡±
¡°Can you be serious for a once, Mo Xiaose!¡± Su Wanwan ¡®snap¡¯ closed herpact mirror.
She had already touched up her lipstick and rearranged her messy hair. Her delicate makeup, exquisite features, and bright and radiant appearance attracted people at first nce.
¡°I identally got into someone else¡¯s car just now and almost got bitten by the dog in there which led to my current disheveled state.¡±
On hearing this exnation, Mo Weiyi smiled mischievously, ¡°What kind of dog? A lustful dog? What does it look like?¡±
¡°A wolfhound!¡± Su Wanwan ground her teeth, ¡°A big! Wolf! Dog! Not! A! Person!¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
Su Wanwan was really speechless at this bestie of hers.
They hadn¡¯t seen each other for two years, and she¡¯s still just as¡ lewd!
¡°Stop messing around, hurry and take me back to the Su familypound.¡±
¡°¡ Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, instructing the driver to set off.
When the car left the airport, she couldn¡¯t help but remind, ¡°By the way, Wanwan, I heard that Grandfather Su has been in the hospital for a while and still hasn¡¯t recovered enough to leave the hospital.¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan remained silent.
She quietly looked out the window, her side profile enchanting, her neck long and graceful, her eyes slightly cold.
Although she seemed calm, her tightly pursed red lips revealed her emotional unrest.
Mo Weiyi was a little worried.
Although Su Wanwan is the eldest daughter of the Su family, she isn¡¯t the biological daughter of Lady Su, Jiang Yi.
It was said that her mother died of a difficult childbirth at the hospital, and she was brought back from the welfare home by Old Mr. Su. But by that time, Su Yuntang had already married Jiang Yi.
Towards this unexpected eldest daughter of the Su family, apart from Old Mr. Su, the rest of the Su family were not fond of her.
The famous Su family heiress known to the outside world was not her, but Jiang Yi¡¯s biological daughter who is two years younger than her, Su Yanyan.
It is widely known in Nancheng that next month Su Yanyan will hold her engagement ceremony. But, what no one knows is, the man Su Yanyan is scheduled to be engaged to, is indeed Xing Yuyun, who was arranged as Su Wanwan¡¯s fianc¨¦, two years ago.
In other words, Su Wanwan was cheated on!
Now, she is specially returning to the country to catch them in the act.
But with Grandfather kept in the hospital, if she returned to the Su family alone, what if she was bullied by those rascals again?
¡°I¡¯ll apany you back!¡± Mo Weiyi immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when ites to a spectacle, I¡¯m the best at it!¡±
¡°Forget it.¡± Su Wanwan casually dismissed her, ¡°It¡¯s not that big of a deal. I can handle it on my own. You must note, otherwise I will end up worrying about you.¡±
Mo Weiyi, who felt neglected said: ¡°¡¡±
She admitted that her fighting capacity might be a bit low, but¡
Is getting cheated on by a fianc¨¦ of two years not a big deal?
Though Xing Yuyun is an unfaithful guy and isn¡¯t good-looking, still being cheated on by an unfaithful guy¡ isn¡¯t a good thing to go out in the open.

Forty minutester, at the Su Family vi.
After saying goodbye to her friend, Su Wanwan rang the doorbell.
Maid Aunt Yang opened the door, staring at Su Wanwan, taking a moment to recognize her, ¡°My heavens, miss, you ¡ why did you suddenlye back?¡±
Su Wanwan was sent to study in LA at the age of eighteen and hadn¡¯t returned home in two years.
In her memory, Su Wanwan was a girl with short hair, dyed gray like a granny, garishly made up, not the inly beautiful and cold-tempered maiden before her¡
¡°Aunt Yang.¡± Su Wanwan rolled up the sleeves of her snow chiffon blouse, her expression icy, her tone ready for a fight, ¡°Is Su Yanyan at home?¡±
¡°Um, second miss? She ¡ she ¡¡± Aunt Yang stuttered.
Because after dinner, young master Xing seemed a bit tipsy. Su Yanyan said she was taking him upstairs to rest and asked everyone not to disturb them. They must be¡
During her hesitation, Su Wanwan already dashed into the yard.
**
Second floor of the vi.
¡°Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang¡¡±
Su Wanwan pounded on the bedroom door with determination.
Soon enough, the door opened, a strong fragrance of rose and a flirtatious voice came out, ¡°What is it, Aunt Yang?¡±
It was Su Yanyan.
Only eighteen this year, but frightfully matured.
She had a neat, docile fringe, long and straight ck hair that reached her waist, delicate and soft features, fair skin, but all she had on now was a thin strap nightgown, almost suggestive of what she had been doing¡
When Su Yanyan saw Su Wanwan, whom she hadn¡¯t seen for two years, standing at the door, her face quickly filled with surprise, ¡°Oh my, sister? Why is it you?¡±
The overacting act prompted Su Wanwan to let out a scornfulugh, ¡°Hmm.¡±
They had been living under the same roof for over ten years. It was the first time Su Wanwan heard Su Yanyan call her ¡°sister¡± when they were alone together.
Must be a day when the sun rises from the west, and it¡¯s raining blood in the sky.
Su Yanyan alsoughed, innocently and harmlessly.
¡°Sister, why did youe back suddenly without saying a word? I thought it was Aunt Yang knocking on my door. Brother Yun was just with me¡¡± she hesitated for a moment, as if shy to say this, but changed her words anyway, ¡°Right, Aunt Yang, where¡¯s the water I asked you to get? Quick, my beloved is thirsty.¡±
¡°Alright, second miss, please wait.¡± After Aunt Yang responded, she looked anxiously at Su Wanwan.
Young master Xing had been engaged to Su Wanwan two years ago, with both of their grandfathers¡¯ blessings. But not long ago, he suddenly became Su Yanyan¡¯s fianc¨¦. The event upset their grandfather so much that he got sick¡
It was such a sin.
¡°Aunt Yang, why are you still standing there? My beloved is thirsty, he wants to drink water, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± Su Yanyan urged.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go right now.¡± Aunt Yang had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs.
Su Yanyan immediately turned around to close her bedroom door.
As she turned back, her expression was no longer that of an innocent little bunny.
¡°It seems you¡¯ve already received those pictures I sent, right? That¡¯s right, Brother Yun and I have been together for half a year now. I remember, that day happened to be my eighteenth birthday. We came together with blessings from all our friends.¡±
Her tone was flirtatiously sweet, proud, and full of show-off, ¡°By the way, sister, when you were with Brother Yun, was he also very clingy, always¡¡± Su Yanyan let out a scream.
A scream followed by the crisp sound of a p.
Su Yanyan covered her pped left cheek, her shock quickly turning into rage, ¡°Su Wanwan! You dared to hit me?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like your face, so I hit you. What? Do I need to pick a date and check the almanac before hitting you?¡± Su Wanwan looked at her, pale skin, red lips, bright and mboyant, ¡°You shamelessly seduced my fianc¨¦ a year ago and became his mistress, not ashamed of your actions, but still unt it high-profile? Truly unparalleled before and after, you truly are a fighting hen among mistresses! Since you were so eager to be a whore, shouldn¡¯t you be prepared to get beaten by me today? Isn¡¯t it toote to y shocked now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m a whore? What does that make you?¡± Su Yanyan was seething with rage, cruelly lowered her hand, her expression quickly twisted, ¡°Don¡¯t think you are the rightful mistress of the Su Family just because Grandfather protects you. You¡¯re nothing more than an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother. Your mother didn¡¯t fare much better than me! Your father never liked her! He was tricked by her into having you! And he never wanted to see you, because every time he saw you, he was reminded of the past, which angered him! That¡¯s why he sent you to a boarding school since childhood, then sent you to study abroad, not allowing you to return home for two years. It¡¯s all because he despised you! Now you¡¯re not just an illegitimate daughter, but trash, trash dumped by Xing Yuyun after having enough fun. What¡¯s left of you? What do you count as? What right do you still have to fight with me?¡±

¡°Are you done?¡± Su Wanwan coldly waited for her to finish speaking, and then without waiting for her to respond, subtly raised her hand.
With a smack, another pnded on her face.
Pain coursed over Su Yanyan¡¯s face as she was pped twice in session. She could no longer endure, wing and lunging at Su Wanwan.
But much to her surprise, Su Wanwan sidestepped and Su Yanyan ended up sprawling on the floor.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes flickered for a few seconds.
¡°Yuyun, Yuyun¡¡±
Su Yanyan began whimpering, her cries piercing the silent vi.
As if premeditated, the door to the next room burst open.
Jiang Yi, also known as Su Yanyan¡¯s mother, rushed out followed by their father, Su Yuntang.
When she saw her daughter sobbing on the floor, an obvious palm print swelling brightly on her left cheek¡
Jiang Yi gasped, rushed over to help her up, ¡°Yanyan, what on earth has happened?¡±
¡°Mom!¡± Su Yanyan began toin, ¡°My sister found out about Yuyun and me, I tried to exin, but she wouldn¡¯t listen, and even hit me.¡±
Jiang Yi immediately turned to Su Wanwan, her expression torn and hesitant, ¡°Wanwan, you¡ how could you¡¡±
¡°Yes, I did hit her, so what?¡± Su Wanwan crossed her arms, raised her chin haughtily and with a ruthless tone, ¡°This brat dared to seduce my fianc¨¦. How shamelessly disgusting! Since you, her mother, never disciplined her, I, as her sister, have to teach her a lesson. She has to learn what¡ decency, duty, integrity, and shame really mean.¡±
Her acidic words left Jiang Yi¡¯s face changing from red to white. Quickly, her eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her head, trying hard to suppress her tears.
Her pitiful appearance immediately took effect.
¡°Shameless!¡±
Su Yuntang angrily stomped over, his hand raised to p.
Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned sideway under his hit.
Jiang Yi gasped, ¡°Yuntang, what are you doing? How could you hit your own child?¡±
¡°Child? She is about to turn twenty but still has no manners, spouting offensive words all day! You always speak well of her, but what kind of attitude does she have toward you? She has never respected you!¡±
¡°Yuntang, don¡¯t talk like that¡¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Su Wanwan turned her face, smiling faintly, ¡°The saying ¡®like mother, like daughter¡¯ rings true. I find it absolutely repulsive seeing a parent encouraging her daughter to be a mistress. It makes me nauseous!¡±
Saying these words, she just looked at Su Yuntang, her stunning eyes directly fixated on him. They were full of mockery and provocation. The beauty spot under her right eye, emphasized by the bright red p mark, was as clear and disturbing as ever.
Su Yuntang was bothered every time he saw that beauty spot, it reminded him of a woman who was as fickle as water, capable of igniting hatred and loathing from the depth of his heart in an instant.
That was the biggest stain on his life!
Both mother and daughter had an identical beauty spot, in the same location.
His teeth clenched, his shoulders heaving violently, finally, he couldn¡¯t resist raising his right hand again.
¡°Yuntang, stop it, let¡¯s talk things out, don¡¯t hit her.¡± Jiang Yi charade her way to stop her husband again.
Jiang Yi at forty, due to a privileged life and good maintenance, still maintained an enchanting figure. Her weeping expression was simply irresistible.
The so-called ¡°like mother, like daughter¡±, both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan were convincing actresses of innocent victims.
In front of others, she presented herself as the understanding, gentle and virtuous Mrs. Su. Even dealing with Su Wanwan, the illegitimate daughter, she appeared tolerant, gentle and patient.
If Su Wanwan had not witnessed it herself, she would have never believed that a respectable woman like this would intentionally make her break a set of dishes,ter collect her blood from the shards to secretly conduct a paternity test at the hospital.
¡°Wanwan, I know you feel wronged, and I know you are fond of Yuyun, but¡you know Yanyan¡¯s personality, she just likes Yuyun too much, she didn¡¯t mean topete with you.¡± Jiang Yi tried to exin.
¡°Really?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes turned icy.
Suddenly, she pulled an envelope from her bag.
Then, she threw one picture after another on the floor, all of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun together.
Each one was intimate.
Each one was shocking.
Simply unbearable to behold!

¡°You say I know what type of person Su Yanyan is?¡± Under Su Yuntang¡¯s deeply displeased gaze, Su Wanwan retorted with a cold ridicule, ¡°So she is an adulteress? The second daughter of the venerable Director Su, who actually enjoys sharing her private affairs with others, is she so starving for affection that she¡¯ll take anything, or is she just psychologically twisted? She¡¯s not shy about spreading these disgraceful photos out, she doesn¡¯t mind the humiliation, I fucking feel sick!¡±
Jiang Yi quickly went to pick up the photos, trying to exin, ¡°Wanwan, these photos were all secretly taken by a journalist, Yanyan didn¡¯t know anything about it. She¡¯s also a victim. How could she spread out these photos¡¡±
¡°Stop exining.¡± Su Yuntang impatiently cut off his wife. ¡°Yuyun and Yanyan are deeply in love with each other. The Xing family has already epted it. Everything is done, no one is allowed to interfere anymore! Destroy these photos immediately, you¡¡±
Looking at Su Wanwan, his voice turned harsh, ¡°Get back to Los Angeles immediately!¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Su Wanwan gave a cold sarcasticugh.
This was her father, extreme in his favoritism!
Clearly, she was the victim, despite the solid proof in front of her, he chose to stand by his other precious daughter.
¡°Did you hear what I said?¡± Su Yuntang growled.
Su Wanwan did not reply.
Her gaze passed over everyone, looking towards the back.
Xing Yuyun was standing there at some point.
He was dressed in a dark blue silk pyjamas, handsome, and gentle-looking.
Just out of the shower, his hair was wet, with water drops flowing down his face revealing the red marks¡
He was the fianc¨¦ her grandfather arranged for her two years ago, now involved with her half-sister from the same father!
Su Wanwan suddenly felt waves of nausea as if she was about to vomit.
¡°Such a filthy man who can¡¯t control himself, I feel fucking dirty just looking at him!¡± She red at Su Yanyan and gave a brightly sarcastic smile, ¡°Once is never enough, you better chain him up properly, don¡¯t let him cheat with another woman! After all, without a leash, a dog is easily lured away by meat!¡±
Having said this, Su Wanwan turned and left.
Jiang Yi called out, ¡°Wanwan!¡±
¡°Let her go!¡± Su Yuntang was red in the face from anger, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her! I pretend I never had this disgraceful daughter!¡±
Jiang Yi frowned and turned back to reason with him, only then, she noticed Xing Yuyun standing in the hallway.
His face had turned extremely pale by this time.
Obviously, he also heard what Su Wanwan had just insulted him.
Su Yanyan then walked over, ¡°Yuyun, you¡¡±
Xing Yuyun did not say a word and simply turned around and walked back to his room.
¡
The room was still in a mess.
Xing Yuyun went in and started changing his clothes.
Watching him, Su Yanyan couldn¡¯t help but approach.
She had checked Su Wanwan¡¯s return flight in advance and even specifically invited Xing Yuyun to her home today. She put some drug in the red wine at dinner, plotting everything just to let Su Wanwan witness with her own eyes and give uppletely!
Now she has finally achieved her goal after half a year of patience, and everything is aplished¡
Su Yanyan was thrilled when suddenly¡
¡°Ah!¡±
A severe pain passed through her wrist.
Xing Yuyun was gripping her wrist, his always gentle face now icy cold.
Su Yanyan was in pain and scared.
All these while she had known him, this was the first time she saw Xing Yuyun with such an expression.
She quickly asked softly, ¡°Yuyun, what¡¯s wrong? Ow, it hurts, you¡¯re hurting my hand¡¡±
¡°Why did Su Wanwan suddenly return home?¡± Xing Yuyun stared at her, his expression dark.
¡°I have no idea.¡± Su Yanyan feigned innocence, making her voice even more helpless, ¡°As soon as she arrived, she pped me twice and pushed me to the ground. Look, my face is hurting so much, and my foot is sprained too.¡±
¡°I see?¡± Xing Yuyun sneered coldly, ¡°Then what about the photos on the floor just now?¡±
He saw those photos?
Su Yanyan became flustered, hastily trying to exin, ¡°I¡I didn¡¯t know how to exin our rtionship to her, so I just copied those photos. But I didn¡¯t mean to send them out, I was really careless, who knew¡¡±
¡°Do I look like I¡¯m an idiot? Do you think I¡¯d believe such ame excuse?¡± Xing Yuyun finished speaking and flung her hand away.
Su Yanyan was thrown harshly to the ground. Before she could react, the man had quickly gotten dressed and stormed out of the room.

Nancheng X District mansion, Huo family vi.
Nangong Ci parked his sports car and cheerfully proposed, ¡°Big Brother, we¡¯re invited over to Gu¡¯s residence for a card game tomorrow.¡±
¡°I¡¯m busy tomorrow.¡±
¡°Second Brother insists that you have toe, he¡¯s arranged for several top yers. He also mentioned that us men should¡¡±
A strange ringtone suddenly echoed.
¡°Owoooo!¡± KO bit out a phone from under the car seat.
It was covered with a pink protective sleeve and looked particrly tiny in the man¡¯s hand.
Scanning the screen, Huo Jingshen immediately answered, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Who are you? Why are you answering Wanwan¡¯s call?¡±
Compared to the tense query on the other end, the man¡¯s voice seemed especially calm and soothing, ¡°I am Huo Jingshen.¡±
¡°¡Big Brother?¡±

Although Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Huo family, is his cousin, Xing Yuyun has barely had any contact with him.
He only knew that he emigrated to Y Country with his second uncle and aunt at a young age. After his parents passed away, Huo Jingshen returned home when the old man from the Huo family was suddenly diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer three months ago.
The Huo family, being the first of Nancheng¡¯s ¡®Four Great Aristocratic Families¡¯, had established an unshakeable foundation through the military and political achievements of their forefathers.
The old man from the Huo family delved into business at an early age, initially focusing on real estate. With the rapid expansion of their business, Huo Yuan Group has now be the leading enterprise in Nancheng¡¯smercial sector, covering not only real estate and construction, but also technology, finance, investment, and so on.
It¡¯s safe to say, Huo family has a stake in every profitable industry and in recent years. The old man has even maintained a stable position on the Forbes Rich List.
Now, although the Huo family has three grandsons, the old man has maintained sole control of the Huo Yuan Group for many years. Therefore, the purpose of Huo Jingshen¡¯s sudden return to the country is as clear as Sima Zhao¡¯s ambition, well known to everyone.
With this in mind, Xing Yuyun naturally had his reservations towards his cousin.
His eyebrows furrowed, ¡°Big brother, how is Wanwan¡¯s cellphone with you?¡±
¡°Wanwan?¡± The mature man¡¯s deep and mellow voice made it sound intimate when he uttered these two sybles.
Xing Yuyun was disgruntled listening to this, ¡°Yes, Wanwan she¡she¡¡±
He struggled to put it in words.
Because he didn¡¯t know how to introduce hisplex rtionship with Su Wanwan to a cousin he wasn¡¯t familiar with.
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up. I¡¯m busy.¡±
By the time Xing Yuyun snapped back to reality, the call was already disconnected.
*
*
Late at night around 10 o¡¯clock, at the bar.
Deafening heavy metal music began to y and under the lights, young men and women were swinging their bodies wildly and getting lost in the dance floor.
In a booth in the corner, Su Wanwan picked up a bottle of beer and chugged it down.
Soon, the table was filled with empty beer bottles.
As she picked up another new bottle of beer¡
¡°Su Wanwan!¡±
Su Wanwan looked up, her beautiful eyes squinting as if she was trying to identify the person.
¡°Su Wanwan, don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± Huo Zhexi sat across her, smiling, ¡°I¡¯m Huo Zhexi. A few years ago, Yuyun and I both paid a New Year visit to grandfather Su. We met then, don¡¯t you remember?¡±
Despite his enthusiasm, Su Wanwan still reacted coldly. Even after hearing his words, she didn¡¯t have any response and just continued to drink heavily.
Huo Zhexi picked up a bottle of beer and tried to clink sses with her, ¡°I heard you went to study abroad in Los Angeles. It¡¯s been two years, hasn¡¯t it? Why didn¡¯t you say a word when you suddenly returned to the country¡¡±
¡°Get lost!¡±
Huo Zhexi¡¯s smile froze on his face at Su Wanwan¡¯s words.
Damn it.
There were so many women in Nancheng trying to get close to him, but he rejected them all. He took the initiative to speak to her, and she actually had the audacity to ask him to leave?
He was the grandson of Huo Yuanshan, Nancheng¡¯s richest man!
The third young master of the esteemed Huo family!
He was apanied by two friends today, both of whom were notable young masters of Nancheng. If word got out about this, how would he ever be able to show his face in the circle again?
Furious, Huo Zhexi mmed the bottle down, ¡°Say that again if you dare!¡±
¡°Get lost!¡±
Huo Zhexi: ¡°¡¡±
Damn it, she really dared to say it again?
¡°Did I hear it wrong, Zhexi? She told you to get lost, haha.¡±
¡°Zhexi, can you handle it?¡±
¡°Is there really a sister that even the young master Huo can¡¯t handle?¡±
¡°Today, I have truly seen something new, hahaha.¡±
¡°¡¡±
His two friends mocked him back and forth, making it impossible for Huo Zhexi to save face.
He violently gripped Su Wanwan¡¯s wrist, ¡°B*tch, apologize to me!¡±
Su Wanwan put down her beer and looked at him out of the corner of her eyes.
She had always been pretty, and under the bizarre lighting of the bar, her face seemed even more delicate, her eyes shimmering. The peach blossom birthmark at the corner added a captivating charm.
The delicate feel of her hand was like fat that had solidified, causing Huo Zhexi¡¯s heart to flutter and his tone to soften a bit, ¡°Su Wanwan, actually, I know why you¡¯re drinking here. Is it because Xing Yuyun dumped you? How about this, since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t you be with me? I guarantee that the Su family will not dare to look down on you anymore, and Su Yanyan will not¡¡±
He should not have mentioned ¡°Su Yanyan¡±, as soon as he did, Su Wanwan managed to find a switch. Suddenly, she swung the bottle in her hand and aimed it straight at his forehead.
With a ¡°ng¡±, the bar was thrown into chaos.
**
Late at night, a shrill phone ring echoed through the Huo family vi.
Before long, the sound of ¡°nging¡± echoed from downstairs and it only got louder, showing no signs of stopping.
Huo Jingshen went downstairs from the second floor and along the way, he could hear the roar filled with vigor.
Honestly, it didn¡¯t sound like an old man suffering from cancer at all.
¡°Alright, Yuanshan, look, you¡¯ve woken up Ashen!¡± Seeing Huo Jingshening downstairs, old Mrs. Huo quickly pulled her husband.
¡°Bang!¡±
The old man of the Huo family put the jade teapot back on the tea table heavily and took a deep breath.
The servants and drivers were all standing on the side of the living room, their faces tense. As for the floor, it was covered in shattered tea cups, water stains, and tea leaves¡

Huo Jingshen nced around briefly, his voice deep, ¡°Grandfather, what¡¯s happened?¡±
¡°Your good-for-nothing third brother!¡±
Mentioning his younger grandson, the old master Huo was so angry that he began to blow his beard and stare, ¡°Having a big fight with someone in the bar in the middle of the night, and making a scene in the police station. They even called us, what a family misfortune!¡±
Three months after the diagnosis, Huo Yuanshan moved back into the main house.
The house was heavily guarded and ideally suited for recuperation and treatment. But precisely because of this, all the neighbours know everything about each other and there are hardly any secrets.
No wonder the old man is so angry about the old saying ¡°do not wash your dirty linen in public¡±.
¡°Is Zhexi alright?¡±
¡°What could possibly happen to him? He must have caused another problem and beaten someone up! This damned brat, without his parents around, is messing around every day, not behaving well and always causing trouble for me!¡± The more Master Huo spoke, the angrier he became, and he yelled at the driver, ¡°Liang Fei, hurry up and drive, we¡¯re going to the police station.¡±
Lady Huo quickly held him back, signaling with her eyes, ¡°Have you lost your mind? With your health, you want to go to the police station?¡±
Master Huo was stunned, immediately realizing and then ordered, ¡°Ashen, go to the police station with Uncle Liang and bring that brat back for me!¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly, but could only agree, ¡°Okay.¡±
*
*
In a police station.
It was already close to midnight.
As soon as he walked into the interrogation room, he heard Huo Zhexi¡¯s grievance-filled voice, ¡°Uncle Liang, it hurts like hell, you¡¯ve got to back me up.¡±
There he sat, looking pitiful, with blood on his forehead, a bloody nose still bleeding, his handsome face swollen like a pig¡¯s head, and his clothes and trousers all creased¡
Compared to the heartthrob he was when he left home in the morning, he seemed to be apletely different person.
Meanwhile, a womany on the table next to him, her raven curls cascading down to the floor, her entire face hidden, but the snow-white chiffon she wore seemed familiar¡
¡°Big brother, why are you here?¡± Huo Zhexi was surprised that his eldest brother woulde over sote.
Ever since Huo Jingshen returned to the Huo family, it felt like he was indifferent to everyone. Since he¡¯s seven years older than him and they haven¡¯t seen each other for more than a decade, Huo Zhexi found it hard tomunicate with him and felt a generation gap, not being familiar.
The gaze of Huo Jingshen, deep and profound, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Zhexi gave a cold huff, unwilling to say more.
He, a tall man over a metre eight, was actually beaten by a little girl, a damned disgrace! How could he possibly admit it?
Moreover, she smashed every single thing in the bar. The bar owner moured forpensation, but his credit card had just been cancelled by his grandfather, his parents were not in the country, and he didn¡¯t have cash either, so of course he refused to pay, and consequently¡ it led to the police station.
¡°Brother Huo,¡± a friend of his tried to back him up, ¡°Here¡¯s what happened. We were drinking with Zhexi in the bar, and thisdy indiscriminately smashed a wine bottle on his head, and kicked and punched him. My God, that was some serious power, Zhexi is weak and we two couldn¡¯t stop her at all. Just look¡ Zhexi¡¯s face has been beaten into a pig¡¯s head.¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Zhexi¡¯s face darkened even more.
Damn!
These two pig-like teammates sure talk a lot!
Did they bothe here to insult him?
What¡¯s this about him being weak? It¡¯s obviously because that damn girl is too strong.
He thought she was pretty, but is this really a woman? Clearly a macho man!
¡°So you¡¯re the older brother of Young Master Huo?¡± The bar owner had heard the noise and came over, ¡°Let me tell you, your brother and this youngdy had a fight and smashed up my entire bar. I have already calcted it, the total is four hundred and eighty-six thousand ¡¡±
¡°It wasn¡¯t me who did it!¡± Huo Zhexi shouted.
¡°But Mr. Huo, just now this youngdy clearly stated that you invited her for a drink, so everything she smashed is on your ount¡ ¡±
¡°Drink my ass! Are you blind? Didn¡¯t you see what she did to me?¡±
¡°But she obviously knows you¡¡±
¡°Who in Nancheng doesn¡¯t know me, Huo Zhexi? You actually believe her scam? ¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, you can¡¯t deny this ¡¡±
¡°Go screw yourself!¡±
¡°Mr. Huo¡¡±
The two were arguing fiercely¡
¡°Damn it, why all this arguing!¡±
Su Wanwan seemed to have stood up at some point.
Her eyes half-closed and her cheeks abnormally flushed, she looked drunkenly beautiful.
Despite half of her exquisite corbone being exposed by her off-the-shoulders chiffon top that slipped to the left, and her raven curls disheveled on her shoulders making her look remarkablyzy, casual, and charming, she seemedpletely unaware of how tempting she was. She yawned greatly and then fiercely asked, ¡°Where is the bathroom?¡±
The policeman taking the statements was a young man, perhaps scared, he stuttered while giving her directions, ¡°Turn¡turn left after you go out.¡±
Su Wanwan yawned again and walked out as if nobody else was there.
¡°Damn it, you damn girl, stay right there!¡± Just as Huo Zhexi was about to chase after her, a searing pain shot through his arm.
Chapter 8 - 8 008, Female Drunkard
8 008, Female Drunkard

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
It was Huo Jingshen.
He didn¡¯t even change his stance, just casually sealed off Huo Zhexi¡¯s movement with one hand.
¡°Big brother, let go¡ow! Ouch ouch ouch ouch¡¡± Huo Zhexi grimaced in pain, his handsome face turned pale very quickly, he bent over midriff, the only word left in his mouth was begging for mercy.
¡°Uncle Liang, take the young master back to the car first.¡± Huo Jingshen instructed.
¡°Okay, eldest master.¡±
Huo Zhexi¡¯s arm was finally spared. He immediately started shouting and screaming, ¡°Uncle Liang, I¡¯m not going back, I want to find that bitch to rify¡Uncle Liang! Uncle Liang¡..¡±
Uncle Liang used to be a soldier, although already in his fifties, he was much stronger than the weak and delicate Huo Zhexi.
Then, he half-dragged Huo Zhexi and took him away.
The interrogation room finally returned to tranquility.
Huo Jingshen was still standing there, with his nearly 1.9-meter-tall body straight and slender. A few buttons of his white shirt¡¯s cor were undone, and the sleeves had also been rolled up.
It seemed very casual, but one could hardly ignore the strong aura exuding from him.
Especially the casual sealing off just now, the echo of Huo Zhexi¡¯s wail was still close at hand¡
No one in the interrogation room dared to speak, even the once arrogant bar owner.
Until¡
¡°Calcte the ounts.¡± Huo Jingshen broke the silence.
*
*
Money talks.
Huo Jingshen was generous when it came to paying. The bail procedure was quicklypleted, and the bar owner also left satisfied.
The staff responsible for the transcripts nced at the testimony recorded earlier and reminded, ¡°Mr. Huo, Miss Su¡¯s bail releaser hasn¡¯te yet.¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s action paused, he looked up and asked, his voice as usual, ¡°She¡¯s a Su?¡±
In Nancheng, and also just so happens to be a Su, could it be such a coincidence?
¡°Yes, her name is Su Wanwan.¡± The police officer did not find it suspicious and continued, ¡°I just checked, this Su Wanwan had quite a record here two years ago ¨C she has a track record! Fights, drinking, gambling, racing¡ she even got suspected of hiding drugs! By the way, her father Su Yuntang is the deputy director of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau, but the bail releaser she mentioned earlier is Mo Weiyi, also known as Miss Mo¡¡±
¡°Just sign the documents.¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted him.
It was already past one in the morning. The police officer saw that although Huo Jingshen was a man of few words, he handled things quickly, so he was also not willing toplicate things unnecessarily.
The earlier they finished, the earlier he could fulfill his duty.
*
*
As he stepped out of the interrogation room, Huo Jingshen received an international call.
As he looked at the sign in front that read ¡°restroom,¡± Huo Jingshen picked up his cell phone and pushed open the men¡¯s restroom door.
¡°Jingshen, I might need you to make a trip to the airport tomorrow.¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Ziyang, he snuck out and got on a ne, he should be arriving at Nancheng by noon tomorrow¡¡±
With a ¡®nk¡¯, a bathroom stall door was swung open, Huo Jingshen frowned as a dark figure lunged towards him.
The force was quite strong, and because he was off guard, he was forced to take a big step back.
Just as the woman was about to fall to the ground, he instinctively stretched out his arm.
Su Wanwan also quickly reached out and grabbed him, she giggled out loud, looking rather carefree.
Huo Jingshen looked at her flushed cheeks, quickly let go of his hand, only to find his sleeve clutched in her hand.
¡°Thank you.¡± After Su Wanwan finished speaking, she let out a loud burp.
She had drunk dozens of beers at the bar earlier. She drank so fiercely at the time that she didn¡¯t feel drunk, but didn¡¯t expect to go to the bathroom and almost fell asleep on the toilet.
She barely managed to get up, when she immediately felt dizzy and her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, she couldn¡¯t even see the road clearly¡
¡°I have something to deal with here, I¡¯ll call youter.¡± Ignoring the questions from his friend on the other end, Huo Jingshen instantly hung up the phone and forcefully tried to pry the woman off him.
But Su Wanwan refused to let go.
She tightly held on to the ¡®quilt¡¯ in her hand, breathing in the faint, crisp scent, felt her whole body bing much morefortable.
She even lowered her head and rubbed her face against him without any hesitation.
The highly clean-conscious man instantly furrowed his brows, his face turned slightly gloomy, and deep down there was a growing dislike and impatience.
Within a single day, this woman had managed to stain his white shirt twice.

Seeing the still clinging drunk woman, Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes filled with intense disgust.
Did this woman n to resort to the same tactics as she did at the airport?
His dark eyes narrowed. He reached out to grip her arm with increasing strength, and in an instant, showed no mercy as he pulled her away.
Su Wanwan was thrown onto the floor.
The chill of the porcin tiles seemed to revive her senses a little, but in the next second¡
She half sat on the floor, wrapping her arms around the ¡°quilt¡± before her, with her face resting directly on the ¡°pillow,¡± where she closed her eyes and sighed contentedly.
Huo Jingshen stood there, looking at her small head¡
From being previously calm, his expression gradually became somewhatplex.
This damn woman!
He raised his hand once again, intending to directly grab her by the hair and pull her away, but a voice suddenly came from behind him¡
¡°Young Master!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
**
Old Liang never imagined he would encounter such a scene.
The young master was standing in the men¡¯s restroom with a woman¡
They even left the restroom door open!
Good heavens, even though he thought the young master of the Huo Family was steady, he had not seen any women around him after returning to the country for several months. At most, he brought back a wolf dog not long ago to y with every day, but who would¡¯ve thought¡
That he wasn¡¯t clean-living, but had quirky tastes!
Old Liang was so scared that he choked on his words, then watching as Huo Jingshen turned around, his deep ck eyes coldly staring at him.
He was terrified!
¡°Young Master, you continue, I¡¯ll wait for you in the car.¡± Saying this while trembling, Old Liang, with his red face, turned around and ran away.
¡
¡°Uncle Liang, where¡¯s my brother? Why isn¡¯t he done yet?¡±
Returning to the car, faced with the third master¡¯s questioning, Old Liang¡¯s expression was still somewhat unnatural, ¡°The eldest master is smoking, he should be back soon.¡±
Huo Zhexi looked in the rearview mirror at his own swollen face, gritting his teeth inint, ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m nearly disfigured, and he still feels like smoking? Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?¡±
Old Liang thought, how could he not be in the mood?
Cough cough.
He estimated his interest was great!
**
Inside the men¡¯s restroom.
After Old Liang left, Huo Jingshen reached out and forcefully pushed Su Wanwan¡¯s head away.
Su Wanwan let out a cry, but quickly moved back, her small hands clinging tightly to his legs, whining and persisting.
For the thirty years he had lived, this was the first time anyone had ever dared to stick to him so audaciously.
And it was a crazy drunken woman at that.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, he used more strength, and fiercely pushed her head away once more.
After being pushed away several times in a row, Su Wanwan felt dizzy and ufortable. Finally, she gave up, deciding to abandon this ¡°pillow¡±.
With her eyes half-closed, she turned her head and leaned it against the wall beside her, sleeping contentedly.
¡
With disgust, he dusted off the ¡°dirt¡± on his clothes, Huo Jingshen then went forward with long strides, he turned on the faucet.
¡°Lovers and adulterers, burp¡ may all of you die!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
He sidelong nced at her.
Su Wanwan was leaning against the wall, and because she was tilting her head, her left cheek waspletely in view. There was a shocking, bright red handprint on it.
In the man¡¯s dark eyes, there was a trace of indescribable depth.
Was she the illegitimate daughter of the Su Family, Su Wanwan?
He stood there, slowly drying his slim and elegant hands with a paper towel; the light from the ceiling cast a mysterious shadow over his handsome features.
¡°Wanwan, Wanwan, where are you? Wanwan, Wanwan¡¡± Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps were heard from the hallway outside.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, threw the paper towel into the trash can, and walked away.
**
In the corridor, Mo Weiyi, wearing high-heeled shoes, was running, followed by her husband, Xiao Yebai.
Seeing the maning straight at her, Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes widened in shock, and she stopped in her tracks.
Wow!
It was actually Huo Jingshen.
Even though her beloved Xiaobai was by her side, as a woman, she couldn¡¯t deny that Huo Jingshen was a very attractive man.
Having lived in Nancheng for twenty years, this was the first time she had encountered this type of handsome man.
Completely unlike her husband¡¯s icy, intimidating demeanour, Huo Jingshen was graceful, handsome, and proud, but extremely charming.
Perhaps because he had lived in Y Country for a long time, his deep facial features and fashion sense added a natural British aristocratic style to him, making others unconsciously admire and probe¡
¡°Hiss!¡±
A sudden pain in her palm made Mo Weiyi wince. Her voice was pitiful and delicate, ¡°Xiaobai, why did you pinch me?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s sharp eyes were chilling behind his sses, ¡°Is he good-looking?¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat-like eyes, hurriedly wrapped her arms around the man¡¯s arm, coquettishly saying, ¡°Of course he¡¯s not as good-looking as you. My Xiaobai is the best-looking, number one in the world! I love Xiaobai the most!¡±
Xiao Yebai looked down at her, his thin lips curved in a slight, but not obvious smile.

When Su Wanwan woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Seeing herself in a strange white gown¡
¡°Ahhhhhh!¡±
Damn it!
Did she, by any chance, get taken advantage of while she was drunk?
The door was quickly pushed open, and Mo Weiyi rushed in, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Su Wanwan closed her mouth, casting a disgusted look at the pink apron on her and the ridiculous spat in her hand¡
¡°Why am I at your ce?¡±
She remembered going out for a drinkst night after leaving the Su family¡¯s house. She bumped into this guy who couldn¡¯t stop bbering, who she ended up beating up. She broke a lot of things and then¡
Massaging her temples, Su Wanwan¡¯s head was throbbing with pain, but she couldn¡¯t remember anything.
¡°I¡¯ve told you so many times not to drink that much. Now you know what a hangover feels like, right? Wait here, I¡¯ll get some hangover tea for you.¡± Mo Weiyi mumbled, quickly bringing over the tea.
Su Wanwan looked at her virtuous demeanor, somehow feeling it was all wrong. ¡°Mo Xiaose, when did you change your persona?¡±
Who is Mo Weiyi?
The sole heir of the Mo Group, which nearly monopolizes all the catering and entertainment industries in Nancheng, owns a number of international hotel chains, and has a foot in both the legal and illegal worlds. A true socialite! She¡¯s rich, beautiful, and the envy of many!
With her illustrious background, gorgeous looks, and being called a ¡°princess¡± all her life¡
They had been best friends since kindergarten because they were very alike.
They¡¯d been together for over ten years, and she knew Miss Mo¡¯s personality inside and out.
How did she go from a princess who never lifted a finger to a housewife ready to cook and clean just because she got married?
¡°Xiaobai made it.¡±
After Mo Weiyi spoke, Su Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically, ¡°¡Thank you!¡±
It was a huge bother that the CEO of the prestigious Mo Group made the hangover tea for her, a worthless ant.
¡
After finishing lunch, Su Wanwan said, ¡°I¡¯m going to see grandpa this afternoon.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± After Mo Weiyi replied, she remembered something else, ¡°By the way, did your phone run out of battery? I couldn¡¯t reach you all night.¡±
¡°I lost it.¡±
She noticed her phone was missing at the bar, not sure if she misced it or it got stolen.
¡°Then how did you end up drinking with Huo Zhexi?¡± Mo Weiyi started gossiping.
¡°Huo Zhexi?¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t recognize the name, ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±
¡°Huo Zhexi, the third young master of the Huo family, a well-known yboy in Nancheng. The police said you hit him over the head, almost disfiguring him. But instead of settling the score with you, Huo Jingshen paid for all the damage you caused at the bar.¡±
¡°Huo Jingshen?¡± Su Wanwan blinked in confusion, ¡°And who¡¯s he?¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
A drunk woman with memory loss is truly terrifying!

Su Xueqin was staying at Nangong Hospital, the most luxurious private hospital in Nancheng.
Backed by the medical aristocratic Nangong family, the patients here were all wealthy and influential. The hospital¡¯s management was very private and strict; without a special VIP card, ordinary visitors couldn¡¯t get in.
Luckily, they had Mo Weiyi¡¯s well-known pretty face.
The receptionist treated her with great respect: ¡°Miss Mo, Mr. Su¡¯s room number is 2019. Take the elevator to the 20th floor, and turn left.¡±
¡°Thanks.¡± Mo Weiyi snapped her fingers, and the driver and bodyguard, carrying boxes of all sizes, filed into the elevator.
Disying a truly princess-like demeanor!
When they got to the 20th floor and the elevator doors opened, they ran into two familiar faces in the hallway.
Su Wanwan quickly squinted her eyes.
Su Yanyan¡¯s sarcastic voice started ringing out, ¡°Wow, the Miss of the Su family finally decided to visit grandpa at the hospital?¡±
Today, she was dressed in an elegant floral dress with high heels, paired with long straight ck hair and neat bangs, perfectly fitting the image of a ¡°good girl¡± in the eyes of the elders.
Jiang Yi smiled warmly, ¡°Wanwan, so you went to see Mo Xiaosest night. You should have called and let us know, you left your dad worried all night.¡±

¡°Mrs. Su, isn¡¯t that a strange thing to say?¡± Mo Weiyi raised her delicate brows, ¡°Wanwan was so upset she left home and stayed at mine for the whole night. Yet there was no call from you to inquire about her.¡±
Jiang Yi replied without losing her smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for a parent and child to have a little disagreement? Anyway, we all know that Wanwan has a great friend like Miss Mo in Nancheng. Yuntang also specifically asked me to bring Yanyan to visit her father today, predicting Wanwan would certainlye to see her grandfather today. Seeing that Wanwan is alright, I feel at ease now.¡±
Jiang Yi¡¯s witty remarks ascribed the reason for Su Wanwan¡¯s leaving to father-daughter conflict, absolving herself and praising Mo Weiyi, without mentioning Xing Yuyun at all¡
What a crafty move.
Mo Weiyi had no retort and was left gnashing her teeth in anger.
¡°Wanwan, after visiting your grandfather, please return home. It¡¯s not good to impose on Miss Mo all the time. Aunt Yang has already prepared your favorite dishes for lunch,¡± said Jiang Yi in a mother-like tone.
¡°No need,¡± Su Wanwan declined, ¡°I¡¯ll leave those dishes for your future son-inw.¡±
¡°What nonsense are you spouting, Su Wanwan? When did Yuyun be my son-inw?¡± Su Yanyan was instantly angered by her words.
¡°Hasn¡¯t he moved in?¡± Su Wanwan tilted her face, her voice innocent yet mischievous, ¡°He¡¯s beening to our house every day, even sleeping in your bedroom. It made me think¡ that I had returned to the Xing Family instead.¡±
¡°Su Wanwan, you¡¡±
¡°Yanyan,¡± Jiang Yi pulled her daughter back suddenly.
Because the door of the sickroom opened, someone wasing out.
Caught up in the moment, Su Wanwan went up to him, ¡°Uncle Zhou.¡±
¡°Miss?¡± Zhou Teng was surprised, ¡°When did you return to China?¡±
¡°Last night,¡± Su Wanwan, not wanting to borate, asked, ¡°Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather?¡±
¡°Oh, the previous operation was sessful, and his health has been improving. His spirit is very good today. If he knew that you¡¯vee back from overseas specifically for him, he will be very happy. He may even recover and leave the hospital soon!¡±
Concluding his words, Zhou Teng¡¯s smile vanished as he shifted his gaze toward Jiang Yi, ¡°The old man says he¡¯s feeling unwell and doesn¡¯t wish to see anyone. Madam, please go back ande visit another time.¡±
His attitude before and after was dramatically different.
Even with Jiang Yi¡¯s supreme bodynguage skills, she failed to keep her face color from changing.
Su Yanyan stamped her feet in rage, ¡°Why does grandfather always do this? We¡¯vee so many times but he refuses to see us. I bet he¡¯s just doing it deliberately to annoy us!¡±
Mo Weiyi could not help butugh, ¡°Your Grandfather became hospitalized due to anger caused by you, isn¡¯t it normal for him not to see you guys? You dare have the audacity to visit him after what you¡¯ve done? And you¡¯re upset that he doesn¡¯t want to see you? Such thick skin.¡±
¡°What did I do, what do you mean by that¡¡±
¡°Never mind,¡± Jiang Yi jerked her daughter to a stop, her tone still gentle and affectionate, ¡°If Dad doesn¡¯t wish to see us, then we¡¯ll just leave.¡±
After saying this, she led Su Yanyan away.
**
Once inside the elevator, Jiang Yi began to lecture, ¡°Yanyan, remember that you are Su Family¡¯s daughter. You must watch your behavior and words whenever you are in front of others. Think twice before you act impulsively.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just Mo Weiyi, what¡¯s so great about her? Mom, what are you so afraid of?¡± Su Yanyan was dissatisfied.
All these years, because of Su Xueqin¡¯s pampering, that wretched Su Wanwan was acting arrogant and dismissive of everyone!
Despite being the illegitimate child of a mere mistress, she enjoyed more privilege than she, the legitimate daughter of the Su family.
And Mo Weiyi, who always ignored her at parties, had a haughty aura of a princess. No matter how many times she tried to please or tter her, it didn¡¯t work.
Su Yanyan felt it was all because of Su Wanwan¡¯s behind-the-scene scheming!
If only she had been wary of this illegitimate sister earlier¡
¡°It¡¯s not a matter of fear,¡± Jiang Yi was having a headache.
No matter what, Su Wanwan carries the blood of the Su Family in her veins.
Even if she resented it, despised it, or had even personally gone to the hospital for a DNA test, these were undeniable facts.
She just didn¡¯t understand why Su Xueqin was so protective of a child borne by a mistress?
Moreover, he ordered her to keep the incident confidential.
¡°So what if she¡¯s close to Mo family¡¯s daughter? Wasn¡¯t she also dumped by Yuyun? She¡¯s just a woman scorned. What¡¯s there for her to be proud of?¡± Su Yanyan¡¯s mood suddenly improved when Xing Yuyun was mentioned, ¡°Mom, since grandpa doesn¡¯t want to see us, let¡¯s go to the bridal shop. I want to pick out a few more dresses.¡±
Even if Xing Yuyun was madst night, it would not change anything.
At the engagement party, she would let everyone in Nancheng know that she, Su Yanyan, was the true daughter of Su Family!
And Xing Yuyun, was her man!
On the day of engagement, she would be the most beautiful woman present, forcing Su Wanwan to feel ashamed and retreat!

Hospital ward.
¡°Old man, look who¡¯s here.¡±
The elderly man who was reading a newspaper on his bed looks up, adjusting his reading sses, carefully identifying the person in front of him.
Su Wanwan¡¯s voice choked up, ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s me.¡±
Having not seeing each other for two years, Su Xueqin seemed to have aged by more than a decade. His temples were greying, his cheeks hollow, and his hospital gown made his sickly appearance even more pronounced.
¡°¡Wanwan?¡± Su Xueqin was surprised, ¡°Is that you, Wanwan?¡±
Su Wanwan at 18 was going through a teenage rebel phase two years ago.
She had short, granny-gray hair, wore heavy make-up every day, sporting bizarre outfits or unrecognizable cosy ensembles. The only thing she refrained from was facial piercings or tattoos.
Today, in order to spare her grandfather any worry, Su Wanwan carefully dressed herself, covering the handprint on her face and borrowed adylike dress from Mo Weiyi.
She was naturally beautiful, with a petite face, delicate features, and the pink dress enhanced her fair skin, bright and appealing allure.
So, it was no surprise that Su Xueqin couldn¡¯t recognize her. The current Su Wanwan, whether it was her facial features, her figure, or her overall appearance, was totally different from two years ago. It was an absolute transformation.
¡°Sir,¡± Zhou Teng grinned, ¡°Miss Su came back to visit you specifically.¡±
Mo Weiyi also chimed in sweetly, ¡°Yes, Grandpa Su, all these health supplements are gifts from Wanwan.¡±
¡°No need for gifts, just your presence alone is enough,¡± Su Xueqin grumbled but he couldn¡¯t hide his broad smile.
Su Wanwan cut straight to the chase, ¡°Grandpa, were you sick because that mother and daughter upset you?¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
The teacup on the bedside table was knocked over, shattering on the floor.
¡°That bastard from the Xing family! I will not forgive him this time!¡± Su Xueqin burst out, unable to control his rage.
Xing Yuyun had been his carefully selected pick for a grandson-inw in Nancheng. Two years ago, Su Wanwan and Xing Yuyun had been betrothed under the arrangement of both families.
Who could have known this bastard had snuck off with his niece and worse, had shameful photos of it snapped by the paparazzi!
If it hadn¡¯t been for his connections squashing the news, who knows what bigger scandal this would have turned into!
Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly tried to soothe him, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t be angry, I actually don¡¯t like Xing Yuyun.¡±
Su Xueqin¡¯s brows furrowed deeply in silence.
He clearly didn¡¯t believe her.
¡°I wouldn¡¯t have gotten engaged to him in the first ce if it wasn¡¯t for you liking him.¡±
Su Xueqin was startled.
¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Su Wanwan confirmed, ¡°I couldn¡¯t bear to disappoint you, so I went along with it.¡±
Su Xueqin looked at his granddaughter for a moment, and sighed long and sadly, ¡°I thought he was a promising young man, and I¡¯ve known the Xing family for many years. I didn¡¯t think¡ Ay! Don¡¯t worry, Wanwan. I¡¯ll find you a man who is much better than Xing Yuyun!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need, Grandpa.¡± Su Wanwan quickly refused, ¡°I¡¯m only 20 years old. I don¡¯t want to get married so early.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with marrying early? If you marry well, then I can rest assured.¡± Then Su Xueqin pointed to the pretty Mo Weiyi, ¡°Look at Miss Mo. She got married at 18. Now she and her husband have a great life. The head of the Mo family no longer needs to manage thepany, he¡¯s enjoying his life. I suppose before long they¡¯ll start having grandchildren.¡±
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips slightly.
Grandchildren?
Err¡
¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t want to get married.¡± Su Wanwan quickly changed the subject after she finished her sentence, ¡°Grandpa, you concentrate on getting better first. I¡¯lle to visit you every day from now on, and I¡¯m not leaving Nancheng anymore.¡±
If she were to return to Los Angeles for another two years, she doubted she would have a ce in the Su family anymore.
Su Xueqin, who never wanted Wanwan to study so far away, immediately agreed, ¡°Good, then don¡¯t ever leave. Stay by grandpa¡¯s side. I¡¯ll find you a better husband.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Why are we back to the same topic?
**
At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, Su family vi.
In the dining room on the first floor, a white tableclothyed dinner table was set with a splendid array of dishes. The ¡°family¡± was having dinner.
When they saw Su Wanwan walk in, theughter and chatter instantly stopped. Everyone at the table had varying expressions, some surprised, some angry, while Xing Yuyun scowled.
From the moment Su Wanwan suddenly appeared at the Su residence in a state of disarray yesterday, disappearing for a whole day and unreachable by phone¡
Although Xing Yuyun seemed calm on the surface, his guilty conscience made him a bit anxious.
However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that when they met again at this moment, Su Wanwan had entirely lost the fury she disyed the night before. In fact, there was no trace of any emotion on her face.
Logically, a woman who had suffered from heartbreak should either be gloomy or furious like yesterday.
But the Su Wanwan standing in front of him now.
She was wearing a pink chiffon dress that reached her ankles, with thetest popr delicate makeup. Her features were exquisite, her figure graceful, and even her smile was pleasing and appropriate.
Especially her fluffy, perfectly curled long hair that casually draped over her shoulders, conveying azy and intense feminine aura.
In short, she was radiant!
¡°Miss, let me get you some cutlery.¡±
¡°Thank you, Aunt Yan.¡± Su Wanwan gave a slight smile and took a seat at one end of the table.
As she wiped her hands with a wet wipe, she casually said, ¡°I¡¯ve run out of living expenses.¡±
¡°Bang!¡± Su Yuntang mmed down his chopsticks, ¡°Did youe back to this house just to ask me for money?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
Su Wanwan answered nonchntly, causing Su Yuntang¡¯s face to darken instantly.
It was a sign that he was about to get angry.
¡°Dad!¡± Su Yanyan immediately started adding fuel to the fire, ¡°Look at her attitude!¡±
Jiang Yi gave her daughter a warning look, then spoke in a soft and gentle voice, ¡°Wanwan, are you out of living expenses? How much do you need? Tell me, and I¡¯ll transfer it to youter.¡±
Su Wanwan spared her a nce, her lips opening slightly to say, ¡°170,000.¡±
Jiang Yi was taken aback.
170,000?
What for?
¡°What do you need so much money for?¡± Su Yuntang demanded in a stern voice.
Su Wanwan picked up the red wine in front of her, took a small sip, her beautiful eyes closing into slits, and saidzily, ¡°I need to move out. Rent, furniture, all need money. But I can¡¯t help it. I don¡¯t want to live here in the future. Every day in this house, I would have to watch my former fianc¨¦ being all lovey-dovey with my dear sister. Besides, this house is old and the sound instion isn¡¯t good. My room is right next to hers. I can hear every little noise and she¡¯s so¡loud¡¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Su Yanyan was so angry she choked on her soup.
Jiang Yi looked awkward.
Su Yuntang mmed the table and stood up, ¡°You ungrateful little¡!¡±

¡°If you¡¯re not moving out, that¡¯s fine too.¡± Su Wanwan suddenly changed her tone. ¡°After all, grandfather will be discharged from the hospital and returning home for recovery tomorrow. We¡¯ve had many visitors these past days, thus it might be less inconvenient if some people could control themselves better. If that¡¯s too difficult, maybe they should consider getting a hotel room. You¡¯re all above 17 anyway, legally adults, so there¡¯s no need to sneak around as if you¡¯re afraid of being caught by paparazzi.¡±
Her words were full of insinuation, making everyone¡¯s faces turn colorful.
Su Yanyan was ready to blow her top, but greatly to her annoyance, she had to suppress her anger since Xing Yuyun was sitting right next to her. ¡°Dad, listen to her,¡± she whined, ¡°She¡¯s unbearable!¡±
Su Yuntang¡¯s eyes bulged with rage, and his blood pressure skyrocketed.
First, it was the hefty 170,000. Then she turned to quibbles about their age, 17.
One moment she talked about moving out, the next she was using Su Xueqin to pressure him!
What sins had hemitted to deserve such a tormenting child in his lifetime?
¡°Wanwan just has a sense of humor,¡± Jiang Yi intervened, suppressing her displeasure. ¡°Since father is going to be discharged tomorrow, Mrs. Yang, please make sure to clean up father¡¯s room¡¡±
¡°Mrs. Yang, please clean up my room as well,¡± Su Wanwan added. ¡°I¡¯ll be heading to Nancheng University in September so I need my desk moved to the balcony.¡±
¡°Enrolling at Nancheng University? What do you mean?¡± Su Yanyan immediately picked up on the key point.
¡°I forgot to mention it.¡± Su Wanwan responded with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not going back to Los Angeles. Grandfather and Grandfather Chu have already made arrangements for me to join Nancheng University as a junior this fall.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Su Yanyan jumped to her feet.
She made such a racket that she scraped the chair¡¯s legs on the floor, creating a screeching noise.
Nancheng University was the mainstay of Nancheng, the highest-ranking academy in the country, and the dream of countless aspiring students. How much effort had she invested, how many top-flight tutors had she employed, to barely scrape past the admission cut-off, only for Su Wanwan to transfer in so easily?
The biggest irony was that Su Wanwan would be a junior, effectively her senior. For years, Su Yuntang had sent Su Wanwan to a boarding school, allowing her some peace. Now, they were going to be attending the same university, running into each other constantly.
How was she supposed to endure it!
Jiang Yi, too, was taken aback.
She knew that Su Xueqin doted on Su Wanwan, but she never imagined it would go to this extent
The usually calm, upright Su Yuntang had even gone to the Chus to pull strings for such a matter?
¡
The dinner ended in a farce.
Su Yanyan, not able to bear the humiliation, excused herself on the grounds of loss of appetite and sobbed her way upstairs.
Before Jiang Yi could send Xing Yuyun up tofort her, he suddenly stood up.
¡°Wanwan,e with me to the balcony. I have something to tell you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi¡¯s face turned stiff.
Su Wanwan just raised an eyebrow, ¡°What is it that my brother-inw can¡¯t say in here?¡±
¡°Yuyun.¡± Su Yuntang warned.
Xing Yuyun suppressed his impatience, assurance in his voice, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. I just want to rify something between Yanyan and me.¡±
¡°But I¡¯m not at all interested in any of the crap between you two. Also, this is the Su family. Su Yanyan is crying upstairs while my sister and her fianc¨¦ are going to the balcony? It doesn¡¯t seem appropriate?¡± Su Wanwan said, pouring the wine from the decanter into her ss. Her cool side profile made her point, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, dad?¡±
Su Yuntang red at Su Wanwan, his temper somewhat assuaged, ¡°Yuyun, rest assured. I¡¯ve already discussed this with your granddad. The engagement banquet for you and Yanyan will be held on the 20th of next month as nned.¡±
Xing Yuyun stood there, a storm brewing in his eyes. After a long pause, he answered with a single word, ¡°Okay.¡±

Deep into the night.
In a bedroom on the second floor of a vi in Lishui Bay, a sudden shrill ring
from a cell phone shattered the quiet.
Mo Weiyi picked it up and nced at it before quickly hanging up.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering?¡± There was a hint of annoyance in the man¡¯s deep and indifferent voice.
¡°Insurance salesperson¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang again.
Mo Weiyi, cursing, ¡°Shameless,¡± hung up once more.
When the ringtone persisted for the third time, the phone was swiftly snatched away.
Seeing the three characters ¡°Xing Yuyun¡± on the screen, Xiao Yebai threw the phone back coldly, ¡°Get it over within a minute.¡±
Mo Weiyi had no choice but to answer, her tone was exceptionally rude, ¡°Hello, scumbag, don¡¯t you have any manners calling in the middle of the night?
Xing Yuyun remained unfazed, ¡°Hello Miss Mo, this is Xing Yuyun. I have a few things I¡¯d like to inquire about.¡±
¡°If it¡¯s about Wanwan, rest assured, I won¡¯t tell you anything.¡±
¡°Miss Mo.¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted, ¡°I only want to know when did Wanwan
meet my cousin?¡±
¡°Who?¡± Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t understand who he was referring to right away.
¡°Huo Jingshen.¡±
Huo Jingshen?
Mo Weiyi responded with a long ¡°oh¡± and swiftly turned the gears in her head. ¡°Yanyan told me that Wanwan was with youst night, but from what I know, someone else was with her. I knowyou and Wanwan are best friends, you must know everything about her. I have no other intentions, I just want to know what the current rtionship between Wanwan and Huo Jingshen is.
After leaving the Su Family, Xing Yuyun couldn¡¯t figure out the reasons behind Su Wanwan¡¯s sudden change of attitude. The only possibility was¡
¡°Yeah, what about it? Regretting your decisions after seeing Wanwan with a new prospective suitor, are you?¡±
Xing Yuyun:
He didn¡¯t want to admit it, but seeing Su Wanwan quickly establishing a rtionship with another man stirred up mixed feelings within Xing Yuyun.
Especially when that man was Huo Jingshen¡
Before he could respond, Mo Weiyi unleashed a string of curses at him, ¡°Let me tell you something, scumbag, ever since you cheated and got involved with Su Yanyan, Wanwan has had nothing to do with you!
You have no say in who Wanwan is with now! You don¡¯t have the right to interfere!
I wonder, who do you think you are, Xing Yuyun? Who gave you such confidence to toy with Wanwan s feelings?
You wouldn¡¯t even be in your current position if it weren¡¯t for your support from the back. Isn¡¯t itmon knowledge in Nancheng who your Xing family relies on?
Do you fancy yourself some kind of royalty? Pah! Without the Huo Family, what¡¯s the worth of your Xing Family?
And you, the most you are is just a grandson-inw to the Huo Family. What do you have topete with Huo Jingshen?
Huo Jingshen is the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. Their patriarch highly regards him. I¡¯ve heard that he¡¯s already taking over Huo Yuan Real Estate. The entire Huo Yuan Group will sooner orter fall into his hands.
So I¡¯d advise you to take a good look at yourself and understand your limitations. What exactly makes you think that you areparable to Huo
Jingshen?
If you dare to harass Wanwan again, be careful, I might expose those shameless pictures of you and Lai Na, showing your true colors to everyone in the Su Family. So you and Su Yanyan won¡¯t be able to get engaged!
After that, without waiting for Xing Yuyun to react, she quickly hung up the phone.
Finally having the chance to reprimand the scumbag and help Wanwan vent her resentment, what a relief!
**
The next day, Su Wanwan arrived at the hospital early in the morning. It was only after Su Xueqin had finished breakfast with Su Wanwan that Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan finally arrived.
Reproaching herself for being pre-empted by Su Wanwan again, Su Yanyan hurried over, calling out to her grandfather in a sweet and delicate tone.
But Su Xueqin kept his head down, focusing on his newspaper, not raising his head or uttering a single word as if he hadn¡¯t heard her at all.
¡°Grandpa, Dad has an important meeting this morning and can¡¯t make it. He especially asked Mom and me to pick you up from the hospital¡¡±
Su Xueqin¡¯s head remained down.
Su Yanyan, embarrassed and annoyed, was about to speak again¡ ¡°Yanyan.¡± Jiang Yi held back her daughter. ¡°Go, help your grandfather tidy up the things on the sofa.¡±
¡°But mom¡¡±
¡°Just go!¡± Jiang Yi signaled with her eyes and emphasized her words.
Left with no choice, Yanyan obediently went to clean up the items.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t bear to witness the mother-daughter duo¡¯s ttery and stood up to say, ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯ll go handle the discharge procedure.¡± Old Master Su immediately looked up, ¡°Why the hurry? Let them handle it, you just sit here and rest!¡±
Jiang Yi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, and Yanyan¡¯s face instantly went pale.
The drastic change in the old man¡¯s attitude was simply too apparent.
Su Wanwan smiled, ¡°That¡¯s fine. I need to get some fresh air anyway and they can clean up for you.¡±
Old Master Su read his granddaughter¡¯s impatience and could only nod,
¡°Alright, off you go.¡±
**
Su Wanwan arrived at the office only to find it empty.
¡°Miss Su, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll rush the deputy director.¡± The nurse left after uttering these words.
Su Wanwan stood there, scanning the entire office.
The office had a modern decor, equipped with a separate lounge and balcony.
The balcony even had a recliner and various nts¡
Luxurious indeed, but¡ why was there a faint smell of smoke?
¡°Knock, knock, knock.¡±
Someone was knocking on the door.
Su Wanwan turned around, surprised to see Xing Yuyun entering.
¡°Wanwan.¡±
¡°Mr. Xing, it seems you got my title wrong?¡±
Xing Yuyun suppressed his temper, ¡°I have a question for you.¡±
¡°Ask me?¡± Su Wanwan looked at him, overly dramatic, ¡°Your fiancee and mother-inw are downstairs. Are you sure you¡¯re not looking for the wrong person, brother-inw?¡±
She dragged the two sybles of ¡°brother-inw¡± unusually long,ced with heavy sarcasm.
¡°SU Wanwan.¡± Provoked by her mockery, Xing Yuyun¡¯s tone hardened, ¡°I want to ask you, on the night of our return to the country, did you spend the night with Huo Jingshen?¡±
¡°Are you f* eking stupid?¡±
Profanity slipped out of her mouth flippantly.
Huo Jingshen? What the hell was he talking about?
Persistent like a damn fly and making no sense!
¡°Why did he answer when I called your mobile? Why was your phone in his possession?¡± Xing Yuyun continued to press.
Looking at him as if he was an idiot, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°And then?
Seeing her implicitly admit, Xing Yuyun instantly lost hisposure.
If Mo Weiyi had greatly wounded his male ego, then Su Wanwan¡¯s attitude was only rubbing salt into the wound.
He blurted out in a burst of anger, ¡°I just want to warn you, Huo Jingshen is not a good man. He¡¯s been overseas for nearly 20 years. His parents have passed away early, and he is known to be aloof. His sudden return to the country is seen as suspicious, even by his own family. They find his personality strange and difficult to get along with. This wealthy overseas-based man has very liberal views, and he is notorious for seducing young women and manipting rtionships. I heard he has had many women in Y Country, and his private life is quite chaotic. You¡¯re young and naive, and I think he¡¯spletely unsuitable for you. He¡ He¡¯s just too old¡¡±
¡°So, it turns out I, Huo Jingshen, am an old man who specializes in manipting rtionships.¡±
The unexpected deep male voice gave Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan a start. Turning around, they saw a figure standing on the balcony.
He was dressed in a white shirt and ck suit trousers, his sleeves half rolled up. One hand was tucked into the trouser pocket, while the other hung loosely by his side, holding a half-smoked cigarette between his slender fingers. Despite his casual appearance, the cold gaze beneath his eyes sent chills up their spines..
Chapter 15 - 15: 015, no experience
Chapter 15: no experience
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The air was deathly quiet.
There was a¡
An indescribable awkwardness.
Xing Yuyun had never expected that Huo Jingshen would appear here, and coincidentally, heard the words he had just said.
Gossiping behind someone else¡¯s back¡
Even if what he said was the truth, it showed that his character was not particrly great.
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, stubbing out the cigarette in the ashtray on the table.
Through the thin blue smoke, his voice was slow but utterly devoid of warmth, ¡°It seems that the Xing family has some gripes about me.¡±
Xing Yuyun¡¯s handsome face nched suddenly, then flushed.
For a moment, he wanted to exin, but he opened his mouth, and under the man¡¯s seemingly calm but innately powerful aura, he couldn¡¯t utter an exnatory word.
In this eerily awkward silence¡
¡°Jingshen.¡±
A woman¡¯s charming voice suddenly sounded.
Xing Yuyun¡¯s face underwent another change.
He watched as Su Wanwan sauntered over, ending up next to Huo Jingshen.
Due to the height difference, she was a head shorter than the man. But when the two stood together, the man towering, the woman delicate and beautiful, their eyes locked, deep emotions shed between them.
The image was eerily harmonious, as if they were a couple deeply in love. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying, didn¡¯t I tell you to stay hidden and not show up?¡± Su Wanwan continued with her feigned girlish voice, pouting after she finished speaking.
Seeing him remain silent, she boldly reached out her hands, directly wrapping them around the man¡¯s robust arm, ¡°Kyah, tell me, did you smoke behind my back again?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her, his ck eyes deep and intense, but he didn¡¯t react.
Su Wanwan grimaced, then allowed her hand to slide down.
She delicately caressed, separating his fingers, then intertwined hers with his.
Umm, his hand was really big. It felt as though it could wrap around her entire hand.
They finally interlocked their fingers.
Su Wanwan¡¯s heartbeat quickened, and the foreign feeling of touch in her palm made her quite nervous.
Because of the backlight, she couldn¡¯t make out the expression on his face. But what she could be sure was, he hadn¡¯t pushed her away.
This gave Su Wanwan a boost of confidence.
Initially, she had only wanted to use him to fake a rtionship, to stir Xing Yuyun up, to let him know she wasn¡¯t without suitors, and to let him witness it andpletely give up.
Both of them had girlfriends and boyfriends respectively. After this, they would not interfere with each other. Everyone should just live peacefully.
Who knew, she was suddenly enveloped by a strong force.
Before Su Wanwan could react, the man¡¯s face had moved closer¡
Damn it!
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened suddenly.
A gust of summer heat blew in from the balcony. Even the air seemed to carry a peculiar tang of romance.
***
Some time had passed.
¡°Had enough?¡±
As soon as Huo Jingshen spoke, Xing Yuyun¡¯s pupils contracted sharply. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were already clouded by stormy emotions.
Eventually, he turned around and stomped away, mming the door behind him.
¡°Bang!¡±
The loud sound snapped Su Wanwan out of her daze.
¡°Damn it!¡±
She forcefully pushed the man away, spitting into the air more than a dozen times.
Disgusting!
The stench of a man¡¯s smoke!
Annoyed and embarrassed, Su Wanwan red up at him, ¡°You damn pervert, who allowed you¡¡±
¡°Never had experience before?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, serene andposed, his tone certain.
From their previous encounters, he thought she was an old hand at this, but who would have thought¡this youngdy was actually so inexperienced.
¡°None of your business whether I have experience or not!¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t deny it. She retorted angrily, ¡°You owe me!¡±
She was talking nonsense, but Huo Jingshen¡
¡°Alright.¡± He made a move to approach her, ¡°I¡¯ll make it up to you now.¡± ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!¡± Su Wanwan screamed in fright.
What a jerk. She had thought he was decent the other day in the car at the airport but¡
The room door was suddenly pushed open again¡
¡°Big Brother!¡±

Nangong Ci, dressed in his white coat and clutching a file, stood at the door pretending to be innocent.
Upon seeing a pair of cold eyes sweep over him¡
He quickly turned around, ¡°Carry on, I didn¡¯t see anything, pretend I was never here.¡±
-Deputy Dean.¡± The speaker was the young nurse from earlier, ¡°Where did you run off to? People have been looking for you for ages, Miss Su is waiting for
your signature.¡±
Her eyes lit up with admiration, her voice sweet and coquettish, making even Su Wanwan¡¯s previously forced voice sound genuine!
¡°Ahem.¡± Nangong Ci coughed twice, speaking with dignity, ¡°What¡¯s your rush? I am here now, aren¡¯t I?¡±
He left only for a minute to go and check a ward downstairs, and the elder brother immediately made advances on the littledy in his office. Talk about seizing the opportunity! So impatient!
All the nonsense about virtue and moral integrity-bullshit! It was all bloody nonsense!
Old men really are closeted perverts!
Completely and utterlyscivious!
After dismissing the enamored young nurse, peach blossoms twinkled in Nangong Ci¡¯s eyes as he scanned the faces of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan. He shook his head and clucked his tongue, ¡°Elder brother, your moves are really efficient, just two days and you¡¯ve got the girl. And the situation is this intense already¡looks like I¡¯ll have to knock to make sure the coast is clear before entering my own office, hahaha¡¡±
Su Wanwan shot Huo Jingshen a deadly re.
Suppressing her embarrassment, she turned to Nangong Ci, ¡°Are you my grandfather¡¯s primary doctor?¡±
She had already reviewed the case. Her grandpa¡¯s surgery was performed by this hospital¡¯s Deputy Dean, a renowned surgeon with numerous sessful surgeries and countless international awards under his belt.
She had thought he would be an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, but he turned out to be this yboy?
Nangong Ci seemed surprised, ¡°You are Grandpa Su¡¯s granddaughter?
So, aside from Su Yanyan, the Su family had another precious daughter hidden away?
¡°My grandfather is leaving the hospital today, please¡¡±
¡°Amazing!¡± Nangong Ci pped with exaggerated shock, ¡°Since you are Grandpa Su¡¯s granddaughter, and he especially likes me, I can put in a good word or two for elder brother in front of Grandpa Su¡¡±
¡°Can you just cut the chatter!¡± Su Wanwan said irritably, and pped the table, ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry. Please proceed with discharge formalities quickly!
Nangong Ci:¡±¡¡±
**
Once the formalities werepleted, Su Wanwan pretty much fled the scene.
The office fell silent for a while, and then¡
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Nangong Ciughed till he pounded the table, ¡°Cut the chatter? Hahaha! Elder brother, did yourdy y too much ¡®King Glory¡¯? Hahaha!
It was absolutely hriously!
Huo Jingshen sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette with long, slender fingers, and casually remarked, ¡°Youughing like that makes you look like an idiot.¡±
II II
Theughter ceased.
Nangong Ci¡¯s mouth twitched violently.
After a moment, unable to resist, he sidled over, ¡°Elder brother, this girl is too intense. Can your old bones handle it? Don¡¯t end up unable to handle it and get broken down¡¡±
¡°I have to return to Y Country in a few days.¡± Huo Jingshen cut him off.
¡°What? Is the Eastern Alliance causing trouble for Yunda again?¡± Nangong Ci immediately sat up straight.
Although Huo Jingshen returned to China to take over Huo Yuan Group, he has established his own business empire in Europe. Nangong Ci also has a stake in Yunda, so his attitude quickly became serious.
After taking a drag from his cigarette, Huo Jingshen spoke in a calm tone, -Xihan is nning to coborate with the Eastern Alliance.¡±
Fu Xihan was Huo Jingshen¡¯s senior back in college in Y Country, and could be considered as the second founder of Yunda.
Nangong Ci frowned, ¡°So what are you implying?
Huo Jingshen gave him a sharp look, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go?
¡°Absolutely not!¡± Nangong Ci said with dignity, ¡°As perfect a man as me, how could I casually enter the tomb of matrimony? Besides¡¡±
He spoke with an ambiguous tone, ¡°The young miss from the Eastern Household likes you and doesn¡¯t fancy other men at all! She¡¯s not bad herself, albeit a bit arrogant. She¡¯s 28 this year, not a bad match for you who¡¯s 30, right? Also, she¡¯s a pretty woman with well-proportioned features, a strong woman indeed. She¡¯s been smitten with you for so many years, and could possibly help with the European market in the future. Additionally, you could own twenty percent of the Eastern Alliance s shares¡
The rest of his words were cut off trenchantly under the warning look from someone.
Nangogong Ci cleared his throat twice and stood up, walked over to the table, and casually picked up a textbook¡
¡°That Su Wanwan,¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly began,¡±¡ should be the person the Eastern Alliance has been relentlessly searching for.
With a ¡°thud¡±, the hefty ¡°Practical Cardiology¡± hit the tabletop.
¡°What do you mean?¡± Nangong Ci turned around, an incredulous and puzzled look on his handsome face, ¡°Are you approaching the girl for this reason?¡± The Eastern Alliance holds a great amount of power in Europe, but in recent years, they secretly sent people to conduct confidential investigations in our country, the exact details unknown to anyone.
Huo Jingshen took a drag from his cigarette, the handsome face in the smoke was quite revealing, ¡°Yes and no.¡±
Nangong Ci:¡±¡¡±
**
At the other end.
Su Wanwan had reached the ground floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Su Yanyan standing outside.
¡°Such a slowpoke¡ Making everyone wait for you. Do you have no shame?¡± she sarcastically eximed, looking at the woman standing before her.
Su Wanwan brushed her off and started making her way towards the ward.
¡°Hold on!¡± Su Yanyan rushed ahead, blocking her path.
Despite wearing high heels, even so, standing at only 1.6 meters, Su Yanyan was still significantly shorter than Su Wanwan.
Looking down at her, Su Wanwan said, ¡°Good dogs don¡¯t stand in the way.¡± It was as if Su Yanyan hadn¡¯t heard her, as she squinted her eyes intensely and examined her face.
Su Wanwan had put her long curls into a bun, but it was clear thatpared with earlier, it looked significantly more disheveled. Then there were her lips¡ They were red and swollen, as if a man had kissed them not long ago.
¡°Where have you been?¡± she asked hastily, suspicion in her eyes.
Xing Yuyun had said he would go outside for a smoke as soon as Su Wanwan came in. Could it be that the two had a secretive meeting?
¡°None of your damn business.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s retort seemed to confirm Su Yanyan¡¯s suspicions.
Enraged, Su Yanyan pointed her finger at Su Wanwan and said, ¡°Su Wanwan, listen closely. Xing Yuyun is my fiance now. We¡¯re getting engaged next month. From today, mind your own business and stay out of ours. If you dare to approach him again, I¡¯ll¡¡±
¡°Smack!¡±
Su Wanwan pped Su Yanyan¡¯s hand away, looking stern and cold, ¡°Su Yanyan, listen to me closely. Keep your man leashed. Don¡¯t let him roam around bothering me like a rabid dog. I find it extremely annoying and revolting!¡±
Su Yanyan¡¯s delicate face twisted in anger, ¡°What do you mean by that? Who are you calling a dog? Stand right there, Su Wanwan, stop right there!¡± Leaving Yanyan behind, Wanwan walked away with an air of disdain..

Su Yanyan eventually found Xing Yuyun in the staircase.
At that moment, his figure was shrouded in the smell of cigarettes. Numerous cigarette butts were scattered around his feet. He cast an indifferent nce at her before continuing to smoke.
¡°Brother Yuyun.¡± Su Yanyan held back her anger and softly asked, ¡°What happened? Is there a problem with thepany?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s cancel the engagement.¡±
Upon hearing his words, Su Yanyan¡¯s face changed dramatically, ¡°What did you say?¡±
Xing Yuyun looked at her and reiterated word by word, ¡°I said, let¡¯s cancel the engagement.¡±
¡°Why!¡±
¡°¡¡± Xing Yuyun didn¡¯t respond.
Su Yanyan grabbed his arm and began to apologize, ¡°Brother Xing, I¡¯m sorry, I admit that it was my fault for the photo incident. I swear I will never do such a thing again. Please forgive me this time. Our engagement banquet is in just over twenty days, the invitations have already been sent out, the hotel is booked, and I¡¯ve already chosen the wedding dress¡¡±
¡°I can handle all of this.¡± Xing Yuyun¡¯s voice was cold.
Looking at Xing Yuyun¡¯s cold face, Su Yanyan realized that he was serious.
The image of Su Wanwan popped into her mind, along with how she looked just now¡
Jealousy burst out like fireworks. She began making a string of usations, ¡°Is it because of Su Wanwan? Did you go find her earlier? You regretted after she came back, right? You had a private meeting with her earlier! Did you¡ Did you kiss¡¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with her.¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted impatiently.
¡°I knew it!¡± Su Yanyan screamed, ¡°Ever since she returned to China, you¡¯ve been ignoring me! If it wasn¡¯t for her visiting Grandpa at the hospital today, you wouldn¡¯t havee, would you? Su Wanwan is indeed impressive, she managed to captivate your heart the moment she returned. But do you know what she said about you? She said you¡¯re like a dog, shamelessly clinging to her!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Xing Yuyun cut her off sharply, terror reflected in his eyes.
The image of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan together kept reying in his mind. The embarrassment, the humiliation, and the blow to his masculinity were too much for him to ept as a man.
¡°She¡¯s nothing more than an illegitimate girl, just like her mother, they¡¯re both no good! She got into fights in junior high school and even went to the station. She and Mo Weiyi hung around in bars with men when they were only teenagers, their reputations arepletely ruined¡¡±
¡°Su Yanyan!¡±
She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
¡°Do you know what the biggest difference is between you and Su Wanwan?¡± Xing Yuyun gripped her wrist, his eyes looking ruthless, ¡°When I was engaged to her, we never even held hands. But you, you secretly drugged me, seduced me to have sex with you. Tell me, aren¡¯t you cheappared to her?¡±
Su Yanyan shuddered violently.
Did he know?
Did he know everything?
¡°That ss of wine on that night, it was spiked, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Upon seeing her guilty face, Xing Yuyun let out a sarcasticugh.
If it weren¡¯t for everything lining up perfectly, he wouldn¡¯t have gone to the hospital that night for a checkup.
¡°Cancel the engagement, immediately.¡± He repeated once more.
Cancel?
Su Yanyan was both aggrieved and angry, ¡°Then why did you agree to be engaged with me in the first ce? Why did you¡¡±
¡°The thing I hate the most is being manipted, especially by shameless women like you! If it weren¡¯t for your father pressuring my grandfather, do you think I would¡¯ve agreed to be engaged to a cheap woman like you?¡± After saying this, Xing Yuyun turned and walked away.
***
In the hospital ward.
Jiang Yi checked the time, her brows furrowed in worry.
Yanyan¡
She had been gone for such a long time, why hadn¡¯t shee back?
Yuyun was not here either.
¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll help you downstairs.¡± said Su Wanwan.
On the wheelchair, Su Xueqin sat with a serious look on his face, clearly still angry.
¡°Dad, Yanyan and Yuyun should be back soon.¡± As Jiang Yi¡¯s words fell, the room door opened, and Su Yanyan walked in, looking dazed and lost.
Jiang Yi quickly got up, ¡°Yanyan, where¡¯s Yuyun?¡±
With a nk expression, Su Yanyan took a while before managing to mutter, ¡°He, he said something came up at thepany.¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Su Xueqin let out a cold huff.
Seeing the old man¡¯s displeasure, Jiang Yi quickly exined, ¡°There must have been an issue at thepany. Yuyun just became the general manager, it¡¯s understandable. I was wondering why he left in such a hurry earlier. Yang,e and help Wanwan with the wheelchair.¡±
¡°Yes, madam.¡±
Once everyone had left the room, Jiang Yi looked at her daughter.
¡°Yanyan, what exactly is going on with Yuyun? After so much effort to improve the old man¡¯s mood, he suddenly leaves without a word?¡±
For Su Xueqin¡¯s discharge today, she had specifically asked her daughter to invite Xing Yuyun to soften the old man¡¯s heart, to make amends. But he just left like that?
Su Yanyan burst into tears,¡± Brother Yuyun¡ Brother Yuyun¡ he¡.¡±

Chapter 18: Birthday Gift
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion , Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Jiang Yi was startled, ¡°What happened to Yuyun?¡±
Su Yanyan¡¯s eyes welled up with tears, but she suddenly changed her mind, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, he¡¯s just too busy, didn¡¯t even have time to apany me, so I got mad at him.¡±
¡°You child.¡± Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°I¡¯ve told you many times, Yuyun just took up the position of general manager not long ago, and it is expected that he should concentrate on his work. Men should prioritize their career, as his wife, you should be more understanding toward him and stop throwing tantrums all the time, making him upset. Understand?¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Su Yanyan wiped away her tears.
**
That night.
After dinner, in front of everyone, Su Xueqin took out a bank card, ¡°Wanwan take this.¡±
Su Yuntang immediately frowned, ¡°Dad, what are you doing?¡±
Even though he despised Su Wanwan, he was still the one in charge of her matters, including her monthly allowance.
Su Xueqin red at him, ¡°Do I need your permission to give money to my granddaughter for a car?¡±
A car?
Now, even Su Wanwan was stunned.
The card was forced into her hand, Su Xueqin said, ¡°Go to the car dealership with Uncle Zhou tomorrow, pick a car you like. While you are not upied, attend a driving course and get your driver¡¯s license. Consider this car as a birthday gift from your grandfather for your 20th birthday.¡±
Jiang Yi frowned quickly.
Not too long ago, Su Yanyan just celebrated her 18th birthday.
The once-in-a-lifetimeing-of-age ceremony, but Su Xueqin didn¡¯t show any signs of recognition, although he was mad at Xing Yuyun, but the contrast treatment¡.wasn¡¯t it too much?
¡°Thank you, Grandpa, for remembering my birthday.¡± Su Wanwan said, smiling heartily. After she finished speaking, she nced at Su Yanyan from the corner of her eye.
As expected, thetter¡¯s face looked very unpleasant.
Su Yuntang was unhappy, ¡°Dad, she¡¯s still young, this car buying thing¡¡± ¡°All right.¡± Su Xueqin interrupted impatiently. ¡°I¡¯m a bit tired. Wanwan. Push me back to my room.¡±
¡°Okay, Grandpa.¡±
**
After apanying the elderly for a while in the room, Su Wanwan returned to the living room just in time to hear Auntie Yang shout, ¡°Miss, you have a phone call.¡±
It was a call from Mo Weiyi, asking her out for a movie and a birthday celebration.
She looked at the time, it was already past seven in the evening.
¡°Where¡¯s your husband?¡±
Mo Weiyi was more of a rebellious teenager before her marriage, but after getting married, she was strictly managed by Xiao Yebai, who usually did not permit her to go out alone at night.
¡°There¡¯s a little emergency in Jiangcheng¡¯s hotel, Xiaobai won¡¯t be back until tomorrow, so hurry up ande out to hang out with me, there won¡¯t be this chance after you miss this opportunity!¡±
I see.
Su Wanwan hung up and went upstairs.
She was thinking of changing her clothes, but besides the one she was wearing and the skirt that Mo Weiyi lent her, all the other clothes in the wardrobe were the entric outfits she wore two years ago.
The previous reckless and impulsive behavior now seems too naive!
Never mind!
Su Wanwan let her long hair down, put on light makeup and quickly went downstairs.
Su Yuntang wasing out of the study, a newspaper in his hand, seeing her in a hurry, he instantly frowned, ¡°Where are you going at thiste hour?¡±
¡°A friends¡¯ gathering.¡±
¡°How many times have I told you, don¡¯t hang out with those dubious people. Have you forgotten about thest time you were brought to the police station? You just came back and are making the same mistake again? Wasn¡¯t the previous lesson enough?¡±
Su Wanwan opened her beautiful eyes wide, innocently asked, ¡°But you, Director Su, are here, right? Wasn¡¯t it you who bailed me out every time? What happened, you were demoted? You can¡¯t bail me out anymore?¡±
In Nancheng, although the Su family couldn¡¯tpare with the few famous and wealthy families, they were still quite well-known.
Su Xueqin, a retired director from the TV station, who has worked in the media industry for decades, had numerous connections.
Two years ago, Su Yuntang took up the position of deputy director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to bail out someone, right?
¡°You rascal!¡± Su Yuntang was infuriated by her casual attitude and was about to explode.
¡°All right Yuntang.¡± Jiang Yi pulled her husband back, softly intervening, ¡°After today, Wanwan will be twenty years old, don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s not a young child anymore, she should understand things, she won¡¯t make the same mistakes as before.¡±
Su Wanwan shot her a cold nce.
Talking about the dark past will kill you?
Yet Jiang Yi smiled warmly, ¡°Wanwan, let the chauffeur drive you there, remember toe back early after the gathering.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her, she turned around and left.
**
The ce Mo Weiyi and she agreed to meet was called Gui Di, located in the center of Nancheng city.
It was two years since she came home, Nancheng has greatly changed.
After Su Wanwan got off the car, looking at the private club in front of her, which looked even more magnificent and mysterious at night, she felt embarrassed.
She thought it was the name of a cinema.
After she mentioned Miss Mo¡¯s name, she followed the usher past the lobby,
into the elevator, and arrived at the sixth floor.
When the elevator door opened, Mo Weiyi was already standing outside waiting.
¡°Happy Birthday, Wanwan!¡±
One was dazzling shiny, the other was sweet and charming, immediately attracting a lot of attention.
In the corner of the sofa, Huo Zhexi was holding a cup of wine, his eyes were keenly watching.
Until the two of them entered the private roomughing and frolicking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers crispy.
¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
¡°Later on, send this cup of wine to that long-haired girl.¡± He lowered his voice, ¡°Just say it¡¯s the house wine for tonight, free to taste.¡±
¡°All right, Mr. Huo..¡±

Chapter 19: dead girl
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
As soon as the waiter left, Huo Zhexi took a sip of fine wine, his eyes full of satisfaction.
That brat!
Last time, she hit him on the head, causing him to go back and get scolded and grounded by his old man for two full days!
It¡¯s so ironic that he ran into the perpetrator this evening. If he didn¡¯t teach her a lesson, what was he doing in this circle?
**
In the suite, Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes moved around and she made noises of appreciation. ¡°As expected from the princess, she sure knows how to enjoy herself.¡±
No wonder they said they wereing to watch a movie.
The suite was half filled with sofas, while the other half was covered by a movie screen. With high-end audio equipment, this room was practically a private movie theater! The table was also filled with all sorts of food, drinks, and games¡
The movie being yed was called ¡°Ex-Files 3¡±, aedy romance.
Su Wanwan wasn¡¯t interested in that kind of movie, so she reached for the wine on the table as soon as she sat down¡
¡°No drinking!¡± Mo Weiyi grabbed her arm.
¡°Why?¡± Aren¡¯t all the red and white wines on the table for her to drink?
¡°What if you get drunk? I can¡¯t carry you!¡± Mo Weiyi stated subtly.
¡°How could I possibly get drunk?¡± Su Wanwan was confident and arrogant.
¡°No!¡± Mo Weiyi insisted. ¡°Do you remember where I found youst time?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t it the police station?¡±
Mo Weiyi widened her eyes. ¡°Yes! It was the men¡¯s restroom!¡±
Men¡¯s restroom?
Su Wanwan was shocked, ¡°Really?¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Xiaobai. You were sleeping on the floor of the men¡¯s restroom. It was a good thing we were at the police station and there weren¡¯t many people around at night. What if you were somewhere else? It would have been very dangerous. There are plenty of perverts nowadays. Xiaobai never lets me drink alone outside, girls need to know how to protect themselves when outside.¡±
Is she exaggerating and unting her rtionship with Xiaobai?
Su Wanwan scoffed, ¡°That was an exception, I was too angry then and didn¡¯t realize I had too much to drink.¡±
¡°Even so, no.¡± Mo Weiyi rang the service bell. ¡°Haven¡¯t enough idents happened because of drinking? Every time, you either get into a fight or cause trouble at the police station. Anyway, you can only drink juice tonight. I¡¯ll have them remove all the alcohol and bring some food over.¡±
Despite Mo Weiyi¡¯s soft look, she could be quite intimidating when serious.
Soon enough, the waiter came in and cleared the table of all the foreign liquor, red wine, and beer.
Su Wanwan watched and her heart ached.
The words ¡°drinking¡± and ¡°smoking¡± had extreme meanings for her.
She hated the smell of smoke but loved drinking, especially when she was tipsy. That sense of haziness was too thrilling, as if she could forget all her troubles. If she drank herself unconscious, it felt like a rebirth when she woke up¡
¡°Little white bunny, little white bunny, with two little ears¡¡±
Upon hearing the vulgar ringtone, Su Wanwan shivered.
Mo Weiyi pulled out her phone and her face changed immediately.
¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s Xiaobai.¡± She got up. ¡°Wanwan, I need to go outside to take the call, or Xiaobai will definitely realize I¡¯m not at home.¡±
For some reason, every time she tries to do something ¡°naughty¡±, Xiao Yebai would know immediately. She wondered if he had a tracker installed on her.
Mo Weiyi hurriedly left while Su Wanwan continued to watch the movie, bored.
There was a knock at the door and a waiter came in.
¡°Hello, this is aplimentary drink from the club.¡± After saying that, he left the drink and walked out.
Su Wanwan blinked.
Really?
Aplimentary drink?
It seemed to be a cocktail. Its blue liquid was topped with a fiery redyer, pretty and enticing.
Su Wanwan was tempted.
It was just a cocktail, and she could handle her alcohol just fine. Plus, Weiyi wasn¡¯t around¡
So she didn¡¯t hesitate to pick up the drink. She took multiple sips and quickly finished it.
Mo Weiyi still hadn¡¯t returned.
The movie slowly came to an end and the end song started ying.
Without a phone, Su Wanwan could only sit and wait.
Suddenly, the door to the suite was pushed open and a woman came in. ¡°Sorry, I walked into the wrong room.¡±
The door was closed again.
Su Wanwan sat on the sofa, her vision gradually bing blurry.
Walked into the wrong room?
She stood up, opened the door, and began walking down the hallway.
The club was massive, with many suites on each floor. There was a thick, dark carpet on the floor and dim yellow lights overhead.
Su Wanwan kept walking off track, oblivious to the person following her.
When she finally opened a door and walked into a room, Huo Zhexi smirked and started walking toward the room. About to touch the doorknob¡
¡°Zhexi.¡±
Huo Zhexi
It took him a few seconds before he turned around and acted cool, ¡°¡big brother?¡±
Every time he saw Huo Jingshen, Huo Zhexi always had a guilty conscience.
He knew he was a coward, but he couldn¡¯t help it. His big brother was a martial artist. Last time at the police station, he almost broke his hand¡
Moreover, he was seven years older than him. By the time Zhexi was just beginning to understand things, Huo Jingshen had already gone abroad. Then, when he finally returned, he started working for Huo Yuan. Rumor had it he was ruthless, causing his uncles to suffer many losses.
Their grandfather highly valued this eldest grandson and their grandmother was very fond of him, but he was always serious and reserved. Even towards his elders, he was indifferent; towards others, he was distant. He was hard to read.
Huo Zhexi thought he was a man of great depth!
Although he was cursing internally, on the surface, he had to act respectful. He forced a smile on his face: ¡°What a coincidence, big brother, are you also here for socializing?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at him, his thin lips barely moving, ¡°This room was reserved by Ji Jie.¡±
Ji Jie was the assistant assigned to Huo Jingshen by their grandfather to handle all his affairs at Huo Yuan.
Huo Zhexi¡¯s smile froze on his face.
Damn, how awkward!
What a coincidence that this room was reserved by Huo Jingshen! This brat, she really knows how to pick rooms!
Inwardly, Huo Zhexi wanted to tear Su Wanwan into pieces!
¡°You¡¯re looking for me?¡± Huo Jingshen asked again.
¡°No, not at all.¡± Huo Zhexi quickly denied.
If he was discovered that he had drugged a woman, Huo Jingshen might tattletale to their grandfather again.
Taking his hand off the doorknob, Huo Zhexi looked around dramatically, then pped his forehead, ¡°Oh no, I just realized I ran to the wrong floor. Hehe, big brother, you go ahead, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
After saying that, he turned and ran off..

After Su Wanwan used the restroom, she felt extremely lightheaded, and her vision was blurry.
She managed to find the doorknob and stepped out, only to find a person sitting on the sofa.
Could it be Weiyi?
She walked over unconsciously. Just as she was about to reach him, she tripped on a looming carpet, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.
The expected pain did note.
She smelled a faint scent of tobo, intertwined with the rich aroma of red wine.
Su Wanwan forced her eyes open and looked towards the scent, spotting a ss of red wine on the table.
¡°Want a drink?¡± a man¡¯s resonant low voice asked, sounding so gentle as if he were hypnotizing her.
Su Wanwan nodded nkly.
Then, that ss of red wine was brought before her eyes.
The fragrance was overwhelming.
Desperate, Su Wanwan moved towards it, but before she could reach it, Huo Jingshen took the wine ss back. He then finished the wine in one gulp right in front of her.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
What was wrong with this man?
Su Wanwan stared at him expectantly, her innocent eyes full of grievance.
Huo Jingshen looked at her, his eyes gradually narrowing.
In his thirty years of life, he has been surrounded by many excellent and beautiful women of all kinds, but none have piqued his interest.
Because of his high ideals and unbending discipline, he had been single for so many years, which led his friends to make fun of him, suspecting that there was a problem he couldn¡¯t speak of.
Sometimes, he had his doubts as well.
Everything turned around when he met Su Wanwan that day at the airport.
In just half a day, she, for two times, could easily stir up all his emotions.
Today at the hospital, she was like an irresistibly seductive little demon.
Though her tactics were clumsy ¨C so clumsy it could be described as ¡°pathetic¡± ¨C he couldn¡¯t stop thinking about her.
He held her chin and looked closely at her.
She had a perfect oval-shaped face, delicate and tiny, with delicate features. She had light makeup on, and added with the effect of alcohol, her eyes looked foggy, so innocent yet so seductive.
She was still young, but her eyes were unexpectedly charming, enough to fascinate someone inevitably.
Especially the mole under her right eyelid, small, yet an icing on the cake.
In his career, he had invested in asset investment for nearly ten years and backed numerous profitable projects. Could it be that now, he was really considering investing his energy into a girl?
Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°Go upstairs?¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t respond.
But for him, her silence was no different from an agreement.
Without any hesitation, Huo Jingshen quickly got up and led her away.
*
*
Meanwhile.
Mo Weiyi finally returned from his phone call, only to find an empty room.
No one was in the restroom or the corridor.
Could she have gone home?
But that was impossible. Leaving without saying goodbye was not Su Wanwan¡¯s style.
There were no clues left in the room. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to wait, but as time trickled by, he called the Su Family¡¯s house, and heard from the servants that Su Wanwan hadn¡¯t returned home¡
Mo Weiyi could no longer sit still. He rushed out and began to search every private room along the corridor.
Soon, the whole sixth floor was in chaos, with disgruntled voices echoing around.
When Mo Weiyi opened the door and awkwardly faced the men and women inside, a flurry of footsteps came from behind.
¡°Miss Mo.¡±
It was the manager of the club along with a few security guards.
He bowed and smiled apologetically at the customers, but as soon as the door closed, his face turned sour, ¡°Miss Mo, we¡¯ve receivedints about your unauthorized intrusions into private rooms. What do you say¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with me looking for someone? My friend is lost!¡± Mo Weiyi said, turning around to open the door opposite, but was blocked by a security guard. ¡°Get out of the way!¡±
¡°Miss Mo, you know the rules. Please don¡¯t put us in a difficult position.¡± The manager was in cold sweat.
He couldn¡¯t offend the heiress of the Mo Family, nor could he inconvenience so many customers.
A guard blocked the way and Mo Weiyi felt the urge to cry.
The club had only been in Nancheng for over a year. With its massive investment and prime location catering to high-end consumers, it quickly became a trendsetter among Nancheng¡¯s hottest nightlife spots.
She likeding here in secret, not only because of the reasons above, but also because it was not a property owned by the Mo Family ¡ª without their informants around, she was less likely to be discovered by Xiao Yebai.
But right now, she regretted it deeply.
She was Mo Weiyi, the Little Princess of the Mo Family, recognized by nearly everyone in Nancheng. Yet Su Wanwan had just returned to the country and was known to few. It was possible that someone with bad intentions had taken her, who was so beautiful¡
The ones frequenting here were wealthy second and third-generation youngsters. She may not have been involved in their ys, but that didn¡¯t mean she was unaware of them. She had prevented Su Wanwan from drinking with this consideration in mind. But now, her friend was lost.
The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more worried and scared she became¡.
Chapter 21 - 21: 021,1 will compensate if it breaks

Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: End less Fantasy Trantion
All of a sudden, she had a bright idea. Pulling out her cell phone, her beautiful face hardened as she said, ¡°Using my husband¡¯s identity, Xiao Yebai, the president of Mo Group, would that work?¡±
Hearing this name that reverberated throughout Nancheng, the manager furrowed his brow, clearly put off by it.
But after just a second of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Mo, could you not put us in such a difficult position?¡±
Mo Weiyi:
This guy was actually immune to both soft and hard tactics!
Mo Weiyi was both anxious and angry to the point of tears, ¡°Then¡then call out your boss for me!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, our boss is not at the club tonight.¡±
¡°Are you trying to y hide and seek? Fine, I¡¯ll call the police and let them handle it!¡± Left without a choice, Mo Weiyi began to get hysterical. ¡°Let¡¯s see if it¡¯s more damaging for your manor to be exposed to scandal, or for us, the Mo Family, to just pay some damn cash and be done with it!¡±
As soon as she said these words, whispers began circting around her, and some people even took out their phone to start filming.
Spectators fond of gossip were rampant in Nancheng, especially in these affluent gatherings. Any participant could make headlines. Now that the Mo family¡¯s Little Princess was stirring up trouble, the other party surely must be a big shot¡
Just as the standoff was going on, an eerie ringtone ¨C ¡®Little Bunny¡¯ ¨C rang out.
Mo Weiyi hastily answered the call.
Then everyone saw the usually arrogant, domineering Mo family princess break down into tears on the phone, sobbing into her mobile device, ¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai what should I do? I lost Wanwan, Xiaobai I¡¯m so scared¡
Manager:
Security Guard:
The crowd:
**
Ten minutester on the 7th floor of the manor, the door of a high-end VIP presidential suite was suddenly knocked harshly. A stern warning apanied the knocking:
¡°Inspection! Open the door immediately! Submit to our inspection!¡±
In the hallway, Mo Weiyi tightly gripped her phone, waiting for the door to open.
The manager¡¯s face had darkenedpletely next to her.
The Manor had been open for more than a year. Because the owner was the eldest son of Chu Family of South City, backed by the power of Chu Family, everyone gave him face.
But this was the first time so many police officers had paid a visit!
The Mo family dominated the entertainment and leisure industry in Nancheng. Just a few minutes ago, Mo Weiyi had publicly taken a call from Xiao Yebai. Who else could have summoned so many police officers in such a short time?
He had heard that the princess of Mo family had quite the temper, but he could never have imagined that Xiao Yebai was worse, indulging in excesses, losing all reason in indulging his wife, even involving the police.
The hallway was filled with onlookers who¡¯d run upstairs from below. Despite attempts by security guards to keep them back, everyone was excitedly discussing and waiting eagerly, their faces filled with anticipation as if they were celebrating a huge festival.
After all, they all belonged to the same circle. How exciting could it be to see someone else¡¯s scandal?
¡°Hurry up and knock!¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s face hardened as she constantly urged, ¡°If they don¡¯t open, break the door down, one by one, did you hear me?¡±
The manager rushed forward to stop her, ¡°Miss Mo, this is absolutely uneptable!¡±
¡°The police are here and you¡¯re stillining? Break down the door! If it gets broken, I¡¯ll pay for it! What are you worrying about over some paltry sum of money?¡±
¡°Miss Mo¡¡± The manager was filled with regret.
If he had known something like this would happen tonight, he would have taken a leave of absence, no matter what.
The first to sixth floors of the Manor were ces for drinking and having fun, equipped with various private rooms. The seventh floor was reserved for the most private VIP Presidential Suites. Everyone knew what it meant to be able to spend money in such ces, it implied you were a valued guest with close ties to the owner.
Offending the customers was bad enough, but now he was about to offend his boss too. He could almost imagine the grim face of Master Chu when he learned that the club had been inspected by the police.
Just then, the sound of the door opening came through with a ¡°ng¡±.
Mo Weiyi quickly turned her head.
The next second, her face went pale.
What?!
How could it be Huo Jingshen?!
Chapter 22 - 22: 022, Fiancee
Chapter 22: Fiancee
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
He wore a dark colored shirt, under which were immacte, wrinkle-free ck trousers. His facial features were handsome, his eyes deep, yet his face was expressionless.
It was clear, even without asking, that something had interrupted him.
The manager was instantly frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat.
My goodness, how did they just happen to inspect Huo Jingshen¡¯s room?
Who is Huo Jingshen?
He is the eldest grandson of Nancheng¡¯s wealthiest man!
In the future, the entire estate of Huo Family will belong to him!
Even his own boss must address him respectfully as ¡°big brother¡±.
He had only recently returned to the country, but everyone in the industry knew him well!
The police, however, did not recognize him and proceeded with a business-like tone: ¡°Sir, could you please show your ID?¡±
Standing before them, Huo Jingshen remained motionless upon hearing the request, simply sliding his hands slowly into his trouser pockets.
The officer frowned, ¡°Sir, please cooperate with our work, otherwise¡¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s not necessary.¡± Mo Weiyi hurriedly stepped forward to exin, apologizing with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry officer, he is a friend of mine. We all know each other, so perhaps we should move on to inspect the next room.¡±
The manager quickly chimed in agreement, ¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, please continue as you were. I¡¯m sorry for bothering you, my apologies.¡±
Seemingly confused, the policeman said, ¡°Miss Mo, I received a directive from the superiors, they said you reported a case of prosti¡¡±
¡°Ah!¡± Mo Weiyi screamed, interrupting his words, ¡°What? What are you saying? There¡¯s no such thing, you must have received the message wrong!¡±
She had been married for two years now, and had a fair bit of experience in rted matters. Even though Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t utter a word from beginning to end, but still¡
How could his mood be unaffected when an intimate moment is interrupted?
She honestly felt quite frightened¡
The policeman furrowed his brows, but seeing as theinant herself was denying everything, he had no choice but to nod and turn to leave.
¡°Hey! Is that not Huo Jingshen?¡± Suddenly, a gossip stirred.
¡°Who is Huo Jingshen?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know Huo Jingshen? The eldest son of the Huo Family who just recently returned to the country. It¡¯s said he came back to take over the Huo Yuan Group.¡±
The revtion caused quite a stir, the crowd¡¯s discussion growing louder.
¡°Damn, is the Heir of Huo Family soliciting prostitutes at the luxurious residence?¡±
¡°Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. These folks returning from abroad are so different!¡±
¡°Real yer¡¡±
¡°So thrilling!¡±
¡°Wait, let me take a photo!¡±
¡°I¡¯m gonna post this on TikTok!¡±
As the voices grew louder, Mo Weiyi¡¯s expressions became increasingly interesting.
She didn¡¯t even dare to look up at Huo Jingshen¡¯s face¡
It must be quite unpleasant!
Would he take it out on the Mo Family afterwards?
Would this affect Xiaobai¡¯s job?
It was over, she had really caused a mess this time¡
Just as she was lost in panicked thoughts.
¡°Miss Mo.¡± The deep voice of the man suddenly echoed.
Mo Weiyi felt like a startled bird at this moment, obviously trembling all over upon hearing this. Then she turned around and forced a smile onto her face, ¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
¡°What did you study in university?¡±
Mo Weiyi was somewhat stunned, but seeing him seemingly waiting seriously for an answer, she continued with a forced smile, ¡°Law.¡±
Although she was a cker who often skipped sses¡
¡°So.¡± Huo Jingshen continued to ask, ¡°Is there anyw that prohibits me from visiting this ce with my fiancee?¡±
The smile on her face became frozen.
Fiancee?
¡°Miss Mo?¡± Huo Jingshen lifted his eyebrow.
Mo Weiyi hastily shook her head, ¡°No, no, there is no suchw.¡±
A hint of amusement shed in Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes as his lips curved into a satisfied smile, ¡°Earlier, Wanwan had a bit too much to drink and was feeling unwell, so I brought her up to rest for a while. Since you are here now, Miss Mo, could you please take care of her.¡±
After he finished speaking, he slightly shifted his shoulder, opening the way.
Blinking her eyes, unable to think much about it, Mo Weiyi walked over as if possessed.
In no time, a joyful voice rang from inside the suite, ¡°Wanwan, Wanwan, are you alright?¡±
**
The corridor fell into a long silence.
Clearly, this was a misunderstanding.
Huo Jingshen still stood there immactely, hands in his pockets, bearing a calm demeanor. His jaw was slightly raised, embodying an aura of grace and nobility.
The manager breathed a sigh of relief, trying to smooth things over, ¡°I knew it, it was all a misunderstanding all along. Ha ha ha, I¡¯m sorry officer, for having you make a futile trip tonight.¡±
The police officer was only too happy to finish his shift. After uttering some formalities, he turned to leave¡
¡°Officer Yang! Officer Yang!¡± A young officer suddenly ran over and whispered something into his ear.
The manager felt uneasy, he had a bad feeling about this.
Next second, Officer Yang ordered in a stern voice: ¡°Everyone, all of you, follow me to the fourth floor!¡±
Chapter 23 - 23: 023, got drunk and blacked out again
Chapter 23: got drunk and cked out again
Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The next morning, Su Wanwan woke up to find herself in apletely unfamiliar room.
Damn it!
She must have drunk too much and cked out again!
The first thing she did was pull back the covers to check¡
Phew, everything was fine. Her clothes were all intact. Su Wanwan clutched her chest in relief and then tried to recall what happened.
However, she couldn¡¯t remember anything from the night before. It seemed like she was drinking with Weiyi in a private room, and then¡
¡°Baby Wanwan, you¡¯re awake!¡±
Su Wanwan turned her head and saw Mo Weiyi trotting over.
She was wearing a white robe, simr to the ones in hotels. Her usual meticulously styled dark, wavy hair was loose, and her face was clean and makeup-free, making it obvious she had just woken up.
When Mo Weiyi reached her, she immediately started questioning, ¡°Tell me the truth! When did you hook up with Huo Jingshen? Wow, you move fast, and you didn¡¯t even tell me about it. You sure are something! Dumping a jerk only to find a hunk immediately afterwards. Do you know how embarrassed I wasst night? I almost had the door broken down on both of you¡¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Su Wanwan frowned.
What about Huo Jingshen?
Breaking down what door?
What¡¯s the big deal?
Didn¡¯t they just fall asleep here after getting drunkst night?
That was something they often did back when they were in school.
¡°Didn¡¯t I already tell you? Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of Master Huo. He just returned to the country. Did you two¡ you know¡do it? So, how is he? He¡¯s so tall and handsome. He must have a great body too¡¡±
¡°Does your Xiaobai know you¡¯re talking about other men¡¯s bodies?¡± Su Wanwan interrupted.
¡°What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a discussion. It¡¯s not like we can see or touch him. I¡¯m just concerned about your happiness.¡± Mo Weiyi spoke confidently.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°Let me tell you, those who seem serious on the surface are usually the most contrasting underneath! You know, I used to think Xiaobai was as cool as ice, wondering if he was a cold lover. For many years, I dropped various hints at him, almost straight up telling him I wanted his body! But he never reacted to me. But after we got married, hehehe¡¡±
As Mo Weiyi¡¯s words became more ambiguous, Su Wanwan felt awkward, her face burning, she hurriedly interrupted, ¡°Alright, alright, what time is it now?¡±
¡°¡ Almost 10 o¡¯clock.¡±
10 o¡¯clock?
Su Wanwan threw off the covers and jumped out of the bed.
Oh no. Last night, Su Xueqin specifically told her to go and choose a car with Uncle Zhou today, but not only did she note backst night, she also woke up sote.
¡°Where are you going, Wanwan? I haven¡¯t finished talking¡¡± Mo Weiyiined.
Last night was so shocking!
She still wanted to talk with her best friend about Huo Jingshen.
¡°I have something urgent. I have to go home right away. I¡¯ll call youter.¡± Su Wanwan quickly tidied up her clothes, grabbed her small bag, and left.
*

By the time she returned to the Su Family home, it was almost noon.
As she entered the front gate, she saw two sedans parked in the courtyard andughtering from the vi.
Were there guests?
As she entered the vi, Su Xueqin¡¯s voice was heard as she changed shoes by the entrance, ¡°Is that Wanwan who¡¯s back?¡±
¡°Where did Wanwan go? Why is sheing back from outside?¡±
That sounded like her aunt, Su Yunrong.Su Wanwan walked into the living room and quickly nced around.
Not only was Su Yunrong there, but also her uncle Qiao Jianye, Xing Yuyun and his parents.
Great.
It was quite unfortunate that she didn¡¯te homest night, and now she was caught in the line of fire.
As expected, the face of Su Yuntang was very ugly as he sharply questioned her, ¡°Where did you go fooling aroundst night?¡±
Su Wanwan found a seat next to his wheelchair, called out ¡°grandpa,¡± and then replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I was with friends; when it got toote, we decided to sleep over.¡±
¡°Right after you came back, you¡¯re already out all night. Aren¡¯t you even aware of what time it is now? You couldn¡¯t even make a phone call home. Don¡¯t you have any sense of self-awareness as a girl?¡±
Su Wanwan looked up at her fuming father, ¡°I neither fooled around with men nor became a mistress. I merely watched a movie with a good friend. How is thatcking self-awareness?. I think I am more self-respecting than some people.¡±
Instantly, everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces..

Chapter 24: Top-tier Male God
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Particrly Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, their alternating blush and pallor made for quite an exciting spectacle.
¡°Scoundrel!¡± Su Yuntang shot up, ¡°Is there no respect for your elders anymore? No seriousness all day long, you¡ you get back to your room!¡±
¡°You are the real scoundrel!¡± Su Xueqin¡¯s voice was louder as he thumped his cane heavily, ¡°Your old man is right here, who are you telling to roll out? Have you gone mad!¡±
¡°Dad.¡± Su Yunrong spoke timely, ¡°You¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital. Why are you arguing with the little brother? Be careful of your own health.¡±
Having said so, she turned her gaze to Su Wanwan.
She looked her up and down before speaking with a smile, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯ve changed so much, I did not recognize you at first nce.¡±
¡°Indeed, how true is the saying ¡®A girl changespletely when shees of age¡¯.¡± Her husband Qiao Jianye chimed in.
Su Xueqin huffed angrily, but his anger subsided slightly, ¡°Wanwan, greet the others.¡±
Su Wanwan pursed her lips but still got up, ¡°Uncle, Auntie.¡±
Then she turned to the meticulously dressed middle-aged couple and called out obediently, ¡°Uncle Xing, Auntie Huo.¡±
Huo Qinyu gazed at her, her expression slightly taken aback.
Because of Mo Weiyi¡¯s attentive carest night, and due to the hurry to get home, Su Wanwan¡¯s face was devoid of makeup ¨C clean, bright, and fresh, so tender it seemed like it could exude water.
If she hadn¡¯t just contradicted Su Yuntang, Huo Qinyu wouldn¡¯t dare believe this was the once unexceptional little ruffian.
They remembered their first meeting with Su Wanwan. Despite being a 17-year-old high school student, she had dressed in oddball clothes, with ck eyeliner, ck lipstick and even ck nail polish. Her short hair was dyed white¡
There wasn¡¯t a single aspect about her Huo Qinyu approved of. Therefore, after the incident between Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan, she had agreed to the marriage without much objection.
¡°Oh, who is this?¡± A snarky female voice suddenly sounded.
Su Wanwan looked up to see a woman walking in from the balcony.
Thetter was also looking at Su Wanwan before bursting intoughter, ¡°I thought so. It¡¯s Wanwan. Truly, ¡®clothes make the man, as the saddle makes the horse¡¯. You look so much better being clean and simple. Mr. Xing, don¡¯t you agree with me?¡±
Xing Yuyun obviously said nothing.
¡°Zixin, be quiet.¡± Su Yunrong hinted at her daughter unhappily.
However, Qiao Zixin feigned surprise, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with speaking the truth? If Wanwan wasn¡¯t pretty, why would young Mr. Xing agree to the engagement? It¡¯s such a pity though. She went abroad just after the engagement. How could young Xing, full of vitality, tolerate that? It is entirely understandable that he wouldn¡¯t resist a little temptation¡¡±
Now, not only the faces of the Su family but also of the Xing family went sour.
With no choice left, Su Yunrong stood up, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m sorry. Something suddenly came up at home. We need to leave soon.¡±
Su Xueqin gave an impatient wave of the hand.
¡°What could be so important at home? Mom, don¡¯t pull me, Mom¡¡± Qiao Zixin was dragged away by her mother all the way out until they reached the vi door. Only then did Su Yunrong let her go.
¡°Don¡¯t meddle in the Xing family¡¯s affairs!¡±
¡°What can I meddle in?¡± Qiao Zixin said dismissively, rolling up her sleeves and continuing, ¡°Dating between a man and woman is a matter of mutual consent. Whether it¡¯s Wanwan or Yanyan, both are daughters of the Su family marrying into the Xing family. It has nothing to do with us¡¡±
¡°Stop talking!¡± Su Yunrong was angry but helpless.
This daughter of hers was nothing like her!
She never knows when to hold back, or how to y it cool. It is said, ¡°Daughters take after their fathers¡±, and that couldn¡¯t be more true.
Su Yunrong red at her husband angrily.
Qiao Jianye was confused, touching his nose, ¡°I¡¯ll go get the car.¡±
Once he left, Su Yunrong started her lecture, ¡°Your sister is about to be engaged to Xing Yuyun. The Xing family will soon be our inws. Your father is about to be promoted to Section Chief, and we will need the Xing family¡¯s support¡ Are you listening to me, Zixin?!¡±
Qiao Zixin didn¡¯t respond, her eyes were transfixed on something in the distance, as if in a trance.
A ck Bentley was stopped at the intersection ahead, and a man was leaning on the side of the car making a call.
He was dressed in a white shirt and ck suit trousers. Though simple, the quality was unmistakable. The discreet luxury was undeniable.
He seemed to be around 1.9 meters tall. His admissions of phone call and smoke at the same time were indeed captivating. Especially when seen from the side, his long, straight legs and the perfect proportion of his body was like an international male model stepping out from a fashion magazine.
Qiao Zixin¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but flutter.
She was now twenty-five years old, had experienced many rtionships, but this was the first time she had seen such an amazing man. He was truly an earthly paragon!
Look at his body, his looks, his temperament¡
Seeing him turn his head as if looking this way, she swiftly put on her most charming smile and raised her hand to greet him¡
¡°Ouch!¡± Qiao Zixin shrieked. ¡°Mom, why did you pinch me?¡±
It hurts!
¡°Did you hear what mom said to you?¡±
¡°I got it, I got it!¡± Qiao Zixin rubbed her achy arm impatiently. When she turned her head again, the paragon was nowhere to be seen.
The ck Bentley was also gone..

Chapter 25: the beauty of adulthood

Inside the living room of the Su family residence.
After a brief silence, the elderly voice of Su Xueqin rang out, ¡°Now that we¡¯re amongst family, I have a few words to say about this engagement matter with the younger generation.¡±
¡°Uncle Su, please speak.¡± Xing Guozhi held great respect for Su Xueqin. Although the old man had long since retired, he was still his mentor and highly respected in the industry.
¡°The engagement of Xing Yuyun and Wanwan was fixed two years ago, and his betrayal of my granddaughter is an undeniable fact now. Even though Wanwan has shown great magnanimity and imed she doesn¡¯t care, the Xing family must give her an exnation.¡±
¡°Uncle, you¡¯re absolutely right,¡± Xing Guozhi sighed heavily, ¡°This issue does indeed originate from Yuyun¡¯s wrongdoing. It¡¯s a failure of my parenting.¡±
Huo Qinyu also added, ¡°After the incident, Yuyun¡¯s handling of the matter was utterly inappropriate. Guozhi and I have already disciplined him. Today, since both families are here, I, as his mother, would like to apologize on his behalf. Wanwan, I¡¯m sorry for the trouble you¡¯ve had to endure.¡±
Su Wanwan did not respond.
Seemingly unsatisfied, Su Xueqin gave a cold hum and nced at Xing Yuyun.
Huo Qinyu hastily urged her son, ¡°Yuyun, say something.¡±
Xing Yuyun remained unresponsive.
¡°What, not willing?¡± Su Xueqin sneered, ¡°Listen, boy, had Wanwan not imed that she simply doesn¡¯t like you, nor cares about your infidelity, I wouldn¡¯t have allowed you to set foot in our house today! I gave you a chance for her sake, yet you dare to act arrogant here?¡±
Xing Yuyun still had no reaction.
How could Su Xueqin save face in this situation?
His sharp eyes filled with cold, icy anger. The veins on the back of his hand twitching, indicative of his rising fury.
Yuyun¡¯s parents hurriedly began to persuade him:
¡°Yuyun, please say something.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Grandpa Su said?¡±
¡°Yuyun¡¡±
¡°Let it be, Grandpa.¡± Anguid, soft female voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan curved her lips in an ambiguous smile, saying, ¡°Does it matter whether he apologizes or not? After all, he¡¯s already cheated. Can we have him take back his leg now?¡±
Su Xueqin turned to her, ¡°Wanwan¡¡±
¡°Although Xing Yuyun and I can¡¯t be husband and wife, isn¡¯t my sister still here? Since she likes her brother-inw so much and is willing to take him on, why not go along and fulfill their wishes? Besides, only the two families know about our engagement. It¡¯s not like we held a press conference or anything. So why not just pretend it never happened? Making apologies back and forth just creates awkwardness. How am I supposed to get along with my brother-inw in the future? If there¡¯s concern about idle chatter, let¡¯s handle it like this.¡±
Su Wanwan tilted her head, gazing at Xing Yuyun from the corners of her eyes and speaking slowly, word by word, ¡°Xing Yuyun, why don¡¯t you say that I¡¯m a clean freak and that I found you dirty? So, isn¡¯t it better to say that I was the one who dumped you first?¡±
At first, Huo Qinyu¡¯s expression remained fairlyposed. However, as she listened further, she realized something was off. When she heard those final words, her expression could no longer hide her distress.
Xing Yuyun was her son. Yes, he had made a mistake that many men made. But to be publicly ridiculed and scorned by a young girl, to be depicted as a man whom she had discarded out of disgust¡
This was an outright p in her face!
Su Yanyan couldn¡¯t stand it either, ¡°Su Wanwan, you are going too far¡¡±
Before she could finish, she was forcefully silenced by Jiang Yi.
Su Wanwan turned a cold eye toward her, bearing a triumphant grin that almost caused Yanyan to bite through her lip.
¡°It was my fault.¡± Finally, amidst the tense atmosphere, Xing Yuyun began to speak.
He stood up, deeply bowing to everyone present, ¡°This entire situation is my fault. I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Perhaps moved by his seemingly sincere attitude, Su Xueqin exhaled a long-held sigh, ¡°The reason I chose you as my grandson-inw was because of your father and your character. But it seems I was mistaken. My old eyes have failed me.¡±
Huo Qinyu hurridly tried to smooth things over, ¡°Now that you understand your mistake, that¡¯s good, Yuyun. The 20th is your engagement party with Yanyan. Remember to be good to her¡¡±
¡°There is no engagement party.¡±
At Xing Yuyun¡¯s response, the atmosphere in the living room, which had just calmed down, suddenly solidified once again..

Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu were both visibly shocked.
Even the usually calm Jiang Yi was startled. She looked at her daughter, only to find Su Yanyan sitting there dazedly, her face almost as white as paper.
¡°Yuyun, such words should not be spoken lightly, Yanyan she¡¡±
¡°Auntie.¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted, ¡°I¡¯ve already spoken to Yanyan about this, she¡¯s aware of it. The reason I came here today is to clear things up with all of you elders.¡±
¡°Nonsense!¡± Su Yuntang couldn¡¯t bear it, filled with immense anger, he pointed at Xing Yuyun and scolded, ¡°What do you see Yanyan as? What do you see our Su Family as? Hurting one of my granddaughters wasn¡¯t enough, now you want to break off the engagement too?¡±
Jiang Yi also said, ¡°Yuyun, my daughter is still young, she doesn¡¯t understand, she doesn¡¯t know to be considerate¡¡±
¡°This has nothing to do with that.¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted coldly again, ¡°I simply feel that we¡¯re not suitable for each other.¡±
¡°Then who are you suitable for? Su Wanwan!¡± Su Yanyan blurted out.
Xing Yuyun kept his face cold, not answering, not even looking at her.
Truth be told, ever since he stepped into the Su Family home today, he never truly looked at her.
At this, Su Yanyan¡¯s anger was instantly ignited, she looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°It¡¯s you, it¡¯s all you, you¡¯re doing it on purpose, aren¡¯t you? You clearly know that Brother Yuyun doesn¡¯t like you, he¡¯s just feeling guilty and doesn¡¯t want to hurt you, why do you still cling to him? Mouthing off about rejection while being sneaky behind our backs, do you have no shame!¡±
¡°Su Yanyan, aren¡¯t you being ironic by saying this?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s tone was cool and mocking, ¡°It¡¯s you who stole my fiance, I kindly didn¡¯t argue with you, yet you dare to use me first and y the victim? There really is a saying that¡¯s right, a lowly person is always melodramatic.¡±
¡°Lowly? Can I be as lowly as you? Can you dare to say where you were out messing aboutst night?¡±
¡°None of your damn business.¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with her, ¡°Your future inws are present, can you watch your manners?¡±
She thought that, at this moment, Su Yanyan was like a rabid dog, biting anyone she could catch.
Earlier, she had somewhat restrained herself in the face of the elders, it seems now that she¡¯s about to be dumped by Xing Yuyun, she can¡¯t keep up the pretense.
Su Yanyan stood there, anger causing her entire body to tremble slightly.
Jiang Yi tried to hold her, but was swatted away. She stormed up to the coffee table, feverishly flipping open the newspaper thaty there.
Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, she pointed at the opened newspaper and said, ¡°You¡¯ve made it to the papers with your exploits with men, now the entire Nancheng knows about your scandal! Su Wanwan, this time you¡¯ve truly shamed our Su Family to the ends of the earth!¡±
¡°Yanyan, what nonsense are you spouting!¡± Su Xueqin was shocked.
¡°I¡¯m not spouting nonsense, she went to a club to have an affair with a manst night, all the pictures were taken and printed in the newspaper, if you don¡¯t believe me, look for yourselves!¡±
Su Wanwan was the first to pick up the newspaper.
In ring red letters, the headline read: ¡°Shocking! Nancheng¡¯s Premier Entertainment Club Suspected of Engaging in Prostitution!¡±
Below that, thickyers of reportage, interspersed with several pictures of police inspections and suspects being arrested, one of which showed her with the attendant in the elevator.
¡°What does this prove?¡± Su Wanwan flung the newspaper back, ¡°Last night, I went to the mansion with Weiyi to watch a movie. I had a bit too much to drink and we just rested in the VIP room upstairs for the night. There¡¯s no evidence, just a picture from a lift? I think it¡¯s your brain that¡¯s been crushed, you¡¯re in thete stages of retardation, aren¡¯t you? You wish I was in some scandal, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Flies won¡¯tnd on an un-cracked egg, if you didn¡¯t do it, how could there be a picture?¡± Su Yanyan seized this point and wouldn¡¯t let go.
Su Wanwan found her anger steadily rising, she clenched her fists, trying to maintain herposure, ¡°Last night, I was with Weiyi the whole time¡¡±
¡°Mo Weiyi is your best friend, of course she¡¯d side with you!¡±
The living room fell into absolute silence.
No one had expected events to unfold this way.
Su Yuntang¡¯s face was dark as could be.
It¡¯s a familial misfortune!
What¡¯s even more embarrassing¡it happened in front of the Xing Family.
He stared fiercely at Su Wanwan, his face pale, lips tight, even his nostrils were trembling¡
Back then, he should have fought tooth and nail against Su Xueqin, not allowing this troublemaker to remain in the Su Family!
For twenty years, she had been like a thorn in his side, piercing his eyes every time he saw her, reminding him of the foolish past!
He should have had the heart to strangle her to death, bringing it all to an end¡
¡°¡Sir.¡± Auntie Yang¡¯s voice suddenly sounded weakly, ¡°A guest has arrived.¡±
She was afraid, not daring to raise her head and behind her, stood a tall and straight man..

He was dressed in a white shirt and ck dress pants, without a tie. A few buttons of his shirt were unfastened, and his sleeves were rolled halfway up.
Apart from the luxury watch on his left wrist, there was no other decoration on him. Even though his attire looked simple and casual, his presence imposed a majestic air of unapproachability.
¡°Ashen?¡± Huo Qinyu was the first one to react, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Upon hearing this name, Xing Yuyun turned around abruptly.
Upon realizing that the man standing in the entranceway was indeed Huo Jingshen, he clenched his fists, his eyes tightened, and his hands hanging by his sides also tightened into fists.
Huo Qinyu¡¯s surprised nce moved to everyone¡¯s faces.
If she remembered correctly, Huo Jingshen had just returned to the country not too long ago. The Huo and Su families weren¡¯t particrly close, so he shouldn¡¯t know anyone from the Su Family, should he?
Could it be¡he was here to see Xing Guozhi?
But Xing Guozhi also looked clueless.
By this point, Huo Jingshen had already changed his shoes and slowly stepped into the living room.
His nce slid over the newspaper spread open on the table, revealing a brief sh of emotion. But when he looked up again, he returned to his usual suave self.
¡°Hello, Grandfather Su.¡± He greeted the old man sitting in the wheelchair with a nod.
Huo Qinyu quickly introduced, ¡°Uncle, this is Ashen, my elder brother¡¯s son, who just returned from Y Country not long ago.¡±
¡°The elder son of the Huo family,¡± Su Xueqin nodded, ¡°We¡¯ve met before at the hospital.¡±
They had met after his surgery, when the elder Mrs. Huo and a few younger members of the Huo family hade to see him. Huo Jingshen had been among them.
Even though he spoke less than the others, he had still made a profound impression.
Huo Qinyu figured, so he hade to visit Su Xueqin, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
But the next second¡
¡°Wanwan, did you lose something?¡± As soon as Huo Jingshen said this, everyone reacted as though they had seen a UFO, except for Xing Yuyun.
Su Wanwan also looked terrified.
Never in a million years did she expect this shameless person to daree to her home!
She hadn¡¯t even confronted him about what happened at the hospitalst time, and now he was calling her so affectionately?
What a shameless fellow!
¡°Wanwan?¡± He called her again, perhaps because she hadn¡¯t responded, a trace of a smile at the bottom of his eyes.
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, ring at him with her eyes wide open, refusing to respond.
Unable to resist, Su Xueqin asked, ¡°Does Mr. Huo know my granddaughter?¡±
Why had she never mentioned him before?
Huo Jingshen made a sound of acknowledgment and casually blurted out, ¡°We hung out toote at a clubst night, and she carelessly left her phone at my ce.¡±
Everyone:¡±¡¡±
A club?
Hanging out too long?
And then¡ leaving her phone behind for him to look after, so what does that say about the rtionship between them?
As everyone was watching, Huo Jingshen lifted his left hand.
A little pink phone was lying visibly in the palm of his hand.
Su Wanwan looked at the phone and realised it was indeed hers.
That pink protective case was bought together with her dormitory friend.
She walked over and stretched out her hand to get it.
However, just as she touched the phone, suddenly, the man tightens his fingers, sping her little hand together with the phone.
Su Wanwan felt a warmth on the back of her hand and couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene at the hospital¡
Her cheeks started to heat slowly, so she lowered her head, trying to pull her hand back.
But she couldn¡¯t.
Huo Jingshen was just holding her hand quite lightly. It didn¡¯t seem like he was putting any effort, but she couldn¡¯t escape.
While she looked utterly embarrassed, he gave nothing away, appearingpletely at ease, even wearing a pleased smile.
It¡¯s as if an old fox is watching a little fox busily bouncing around in his palm¡ª but no matter how hard the little fox tried, it couldn¡¯t escape his sp.
Su Wanwan felt like cursing.
Just as she was about to scratch him with her other hand, Huo Jingshen finally let go.
Once free, Su Wanwan busied herself with her phone, only to find that it had run out of battery and switched off¡
¡°Don¡¯t be so careless in the future,¡± the man¡¯s deep voice rang again.
It sounded so close.
And so intimate.
Then, arge hand ruffled her hair a few times.
What the¡ª!
Su Wanwan was so angry that her lips were twitching.
Was he trying to treat her like a monkey?!
If the Xing Family wasn¡¯t there, and if his words just now didn¡¯t help her, she wouldn¡¯t let him run wild like this!
The tension between the two was like an underworld melee, the sparks were flying everywhere, it was a war without drawn des¡
But to outsiders, it seemed like an intimate interaction, as if they were unting their affection.
Xing Yuyun¡¯s face darkened even more, and he felt more and more restless..

¡°So that¡¯s how it is,¡± Jiang Yi¡¯s voice was as smooth as water. ¡°If Wanwan was with Master Huost night, then the pictures must have been a misunderstanding.¡±
When she finished speaking, she turned towards Su Yanyan, hinting, ¡°Yanyan, see? Wanwan already has a new boyfriend, how could she still be involved with Yuyun, right? Stop acting like a child from now on, and behave properly with Yuyan, understand?¡±
¡°Ridiculous!¡±
Su Yuntang, too, expressed his dissatisfaction, scolding Su Yanyan. Su Yanyan bit her lips tightly, filled with resentment, but was utterly powerless.
She had seen the news in the newspaper early this morning and thought she finally had the chance to expose Su Wanwan¡¯s true colors, but who would have thought¡
After causing such a ruckus, Huo Jingshen suddenly appeared and cleared up all the misunderstandings convincingly with just a few words. And in the end, she was the one in the wrong!
¡°Alright, alright.¡± Su Xueqin interrupted impatiently, and looked at Huo Jingshen, ¡°Master Huo, how long have you been acquainted with Wanwan?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but before she could respond, Huo Jingshen had already replied, ¡°Three days.¡±
Damn, what a pig!
Just three days and she had already spent the night with him. Who would believe that they moved that fast?
¡°Three days?¡± Su Xueqin¡¯s brows furrowed again as his voice turned grave, ¡°Wanwan, what is going on?¡±
Su Wanwan pursed her lips.
Then, she lifted her face, with a faint smile. ¡°Grandpa, whether it¡¯s three days or three years, is time really that important?¡±
She met Xing Yuyun when she was seventeen. At that time, he had just returned from studying abroad. Gentle, handsome, polite ¨C a model young man in the eyes of all the elders. He was kind and never looked down upon her stupid ways. But what happenedter?
Back then, in order to get her to agree to the engagement, Su Xueqin had said that there was no one better than Yuyun. He had watched Yuyun grow up, and all the Xing family¡¯s children were dependable¡
What a load of crap!
It was a good thing she was always busy butting heads with Su Yuntang and Yanyan, andpletely uninterested in romantic rtionships. Otherwise the whole ¡°two women sharing one husband¡± drama would¡¯ve been truly cheesy! Su Xueqin seemed to empathize. He sighed deeply, ¡°Alright, alright, if you really like Master Huo that much, grandpa will listen to you.¡±
Haha¡
Su Wanwan¡¯s smile was a tad stiff.
¡°Even though it¡¯s just been three days,¡± Huo Jingshen added casually, ¡°Wanwan and I fell in love at first sight and are mutually attracted to each other. It feels like we met toote.¡±
Su Wanwan felt as though arge flock of ck crows was flying over her head. Love at first sight?
Mutual attraction?
Wished they¡¯d met earlier?
What the hell was he bbering about?
Did he have to be so dramatic?
¡°Right, Yuyun?¡±
The moment Huo Jingshen asked this, Huo Qinyu instantly turned to her son, ¡°Yuyun, did you know about this beforehand?¡±
Xing Yuyun did not reply, but just coldly gazed at Huo Jingshen, his handsome face ice-cold.
Such acquiescence was undoubtedly the best proof.
Huo Qinyu felt a littleplex at that moment.
Originally, Su Wanwan was just an unsavory stone in her eyes. She was Su Xueqin¡¯s illegitimate daughter raised by him, and even her biological mother was unknown. But by the time Su Wanwan was born, Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi were already married. How good could a mistress¡¯s daughter be?
Compared to her, Su Yanyan was gentle and delicate, and the legitimate heiress Of the Su family. Moreover, she had been admitted to the best university in Nancheng this year. Since the Xing family was keen on marrying a Su family daughter, Su Yanyan was naturally the best candidate.
But now, to her absolute surprise, Su Wanwan, the one their Xing family didn¡¯t want, had suddenly hopped onto Huo Jingshen¡¯s vehicle!
If things really worked out between them, wouldn¡¯t that make Su Wanwan her niece-inw? Before Huo Qinyu could understand¡
¡°So today, I came here specifically to propose.¡±
With a ¡°p¡± sound, the small cell phone that Su Wanwan had just regained slipped and fell to the ground.
Under her astounded gaze, Huo Jingshen bent down and picked up the cell phone from the floor, ¡°Wanwan, are you this surprised?¡±
Su Wanwan grit her teeth and snatched her phone back.
Wasn¡¯t she clearly terrified?
¡°So soon?¡± Jiang Yi couldn¡¯t help but speak, ¡°Wanwan hasn¡¯t even finished her college yet, and you guys barely know each other.¡±
She was genuinely surprised. She¡¯d assumed that Huo Jingshen was only flirting and would discard her once he tired of the chase. Who knew he would suddenly bring up marriage?
If Su Wanwan really married into the Huo family, wouldn¡¯t things be¡
Didn¡¯t you marry Yuntang before you finished college too?¡±
Su Xueqin interjected purely to aid Wanwan, which left Jiang Yi slightly abashed.
She lowered her head, not daring to express her opinion any further.
Su Yuntang, however, did not express his stance.
As a matter of fact, he couldn¡¯t care less about who Su Wanwan married as long
as she stayed out of his sight and never bothered him again.
¡°Wanwan.¡± Su Xueqin turned to his granddaughter and spoke earnestly, ¡°Whether you get married or not, grandpa will leave it to you. If you really want to get married, grandpa will prepare a dowry for you, so that you can have a grand wedding! But grandpa still wants to say something ¨C when ites to marriage, it rtes to your happiness for the rest of your life. Grandpa hopes that you consider it carefully and not choose the wrong person again.¡± His speech made Su Wanwan feel likeughing and crying at the same time, but it also made some people¡¯s faces twitch.
After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan finally opened her mouth, ¡°Grandpa I don¡¯t want¡¡±? ¡¯
¡°Trouble, there¡¯s trouble!¡±
The maid¡¯s voice interrupted her.
Su Yuntang¡¯s tone was unhappy, ¡°Can¡¯t you see we have guests? What¡¯s with your incessant moring!¡±
The one who ran in was a new maid. She said fearfully, ¡°Sir, arge group of journalists has arrived outside.. I can¡¯t stop them¡¡±

Chapter 29: let¡¯s get married
Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Su Yuntang¡¯s brows furrowed tightly.
¡°I heard them mentioning the police, a clubhouse¡¡±
The maid stammered, whereas Jiang Yi swiftly turned to Su Wanwan, asking pointedly, ¡°Is it because of what was on the newspaper?¡±
¡°Impossible!¡± Su Wanwan retorted without giving it a second thought: ¡°I just returned to the country three days ago. It was just one picture. Who would know I am the daughter of Secretary Su?¡±
Secretary Su immediately shot her a re.
¡°Quickly drive all the reporters away!¡± Su Xueqin spoke with an impatience. After all this fuss, she, who was just recovering from a serious illness, was getting exhausted.
Jiang Yi hurriedly called someone to take the old man back to his room to rest.
A moment of silence washed over the living room, yet the noises outside seeped in. And the mor was growing.
The maid soon returned, ¡°What should we do? The reporters refuse to leave.¡±
Su Yuntang felt a headacheing.
As the deputy head of the Broadcasting Bureau was set to retire at the end of the year, his prospects of promotion were high.
If word got out about his daughter¡¯s scandal with a man, even if it was untrue, it could tarnish his image, even his promotion¡
After much thought, he shifted his gaze to Huo Jingshen, ¡°Mr. Huo, as the heir of the Huo family, and since this incident involves Wanwan¡¯s reputation and considering your uing marriage with her, I hope you could rify this in front of the reporters.¡±
Huo Jingshen remained expressionless.
Indeed, this request was fair. After all, to everyone, the whole incident was a misunderstanding, and it would be most convincing if Huo Jingshen, one of the parties involved, rified it. Yet¡
He brutally refused!
More than that, he slightly tilted his head, looking towards Su Wanwan as if¡
He was seeking his girlfriend¡¯s opinion.
But Su Wanwan was not in the mood for romance. Her beautiful eyes were coldly fixed on Su Yuntang, her tone mocking and derisive, ¡°So in the Su family, my reputation needs to be cleared by an outsider.¡±
¡°If you hadn¡¯t been staying out all night, getting your picture taken in that kind of ce and published in the newspaper, would all this mess even happen?¡± Su Yuntang¡¯s face was tense, ¡°If you had a shred of self-respect, if you remembered yourst name is Su, you should always be aware of your status and not always overstep bounds, causing me to lose face!¡±
Su Wanwan scoffed.
Her father, for the sake of so-called ¡®face¡¯, was willing to ask an outsider for help rather than rify the situation for his daughter himself.
It was utterly ridiculous.
She should not have cooperated with Huo Jingshen just now to put on that performance. She should have waited for the journalists toe over, burst out the door and loudly admit that everything was true¡
Would he be furious enough to go insane then?
¡°You¡¯re stillughing?¡± The attitude Su Wanwan always had especially irked Su Yuntang.
She was always carefree and sarcastic.
Except for Su Xueqin, she never took anyone seriously!
Enraged, he blurted out harshly, ¡°I should not have kept you, an ill-begotten child in the first ce! Tomorrow you¡¯re getting out of here, back to M Country. Nevere back!¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him. Her rising rage was suddenly doused as if by a bucket of cold water, she was whelmed head to toe in coldness.
She lifted her head and released a light sigh, ¡°What to do, I don¡¯t want to return to M Country. Besides, this ill-begotten child of yours, feels she can get a better match than your beloved daughter!¡±
Whether it in looks, wealth or background¡ where could Xing Yuyun outshine Huo Jingshen?
Under the jealous, resentful, or shocked gazes of everyone, Su Wanwan extended her hands to sp onto Huo Jingshen¡¯s arm. Her smile bright yet resolute, ¡°I ept your proposal, let¡¯s get married!¡±
The mature and handsome man slowly curled his lips, ¡°Alright..¡¯

Outside the gates of Su Family¡¯s vi, dozens of journalists were huddled together. Despite being under the zing midday sun, they were raising their cameras, microphones, cell phones, and voice recorders high, unperturbed by the heat¡
Their eyes were glued on the courtyard, afraid of missing out on any breaking news.
Suddenly, an excited voice called out, ¡°Huo Jingshen is here!¡±
As Su Wanwan looked up, she saw a swarm of journalists, akin to a herd of frenzied sheep, dash past the servants into the yard, quickly encircling them and bombarding them with questions:
¡°Mr. Huo, what is your rtionship with thisdy?¡±
¡°Is thisdy the fiancee you referred to as being in your room at your mansionst night?¡±
¡°Are you really engaged?¡±
¡°When do you n to host the wedding?¡±
Fiancee?
Weren¡¯t they here to question her about a newspaper article?
Su Wanwan was slightly baffled.
Yet, the shlights were too blinding. Without having any time to think, she immediately lowered her head, raising her hand to shield her face.
Mid-air, her hand was seized. Then, she was drawn into a broad and secure embrace.
Whatever he did caused the noisy crowd to quiet down at once.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
She heard his deep and resolute voice saying, ¡°My fiancee is a little shy, so if you have any questions, let me answer them.¡±
The journalists hurriedly threw the first question: ¡°Mr. Huo, is thisdy your fiancee?¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Jingshen remained silent.
The journalists quickly threw the second question, ¡°Mr. Huo, have you really decided to get married?¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Jingshen was still silent.
The journalists were relentless. They swiftly threw their third question: ¡°Mr. Huo, you¡¯ve just be the new CEO of Huo Yuan property, would the chairman Mr. Huo know about your uing wedding?¡±
When Su Wanwan thought he would remain silent, the man responded lightly, ¡°You think that I¡¯m about to marry and the elders wouldn¡¯t know?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Alright then!
One question and he¡¯d answered all the rest.
The journalists eximed in unison, ¡°Congrattions Mr. Huo!¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, you are so fortunate!¡±
¡°May the two of you grow old together and live a peaceful life!¡±
The shes from the cameras filled the air along with the shutter clicks.
Last night, a gossipy inte user posted a disclosure on the entertainment forum, alleging to have sneakily photographed the Huo family heir and his mysterious fiancee having a secret meeting at the mansion.
Naturally, the journalists found this exciting. But knowing Huo Jingshen¡¯s status, they knew the Huo family would never easily ept their interviews. Even if they managed to sneak some photos, the photos would never be approved for publication.
They never imagined that their prayers would be answered today when they were notified that Mr. Huo was here, discussing his wedding with his fiancee, and would make a five-minute window for interviews.
Looking at it now, the heir of Huo family is not only handsome and good-tempered, but also down-to-earth ¨C a truly outstanding man, the journalists thought to themselves.
The five minutes passed quickly, and Huo Jingshen, still clutching his fiancee, was ready to leave.
Though the journalists willingly paved the way, the relentless ones still followed them, asking:
¡°Mr. Huo, could we take a photo of your fiancee¡¯s face?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, when have you nned the wedding?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo¡¡±
It wasn¡¯t until they got into the car and closed the door behind them that the world finally fell silent.
Su Wanwan sighed deeply, never imagining she would be the lead character in a gossip story one day.
How exciting!
Mu Shang quickly drove away from the vi. As they exited the main gate of themunity, Su Wanwan suddenly shouted, ¡°Stop the car! Stop the car!¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t stop. Lifting his brows, he nced at the jittery girl beside him, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth hung open, but she couldn¡¯t find the words to articte her thoughts.
It was only now that she realized that she had impulsively agreed to marriage!
That too, to a man she had only met a few times!
Indeed, she had done many unconventional things before turning eighteen, but getting married on a whim¡
Su Wanwan felt like she was dreaming.
Suddenly, her cellphone¡¯s ringtone went off. Huo Jingshen nced at the screen and answered it.
¡°Holy crap, you finally answered your phone.¡±
It was Nangong Ci.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°Did you invite the reporters?¡±
¡°It wasn¡¯t me.¡±
¡°Heh.¡±
¡°I swear, it wasn¡¯t me, it was my brother. I¡¯m a doctor, where would I know so many gossip-hungry reporters?¡± Nangong Ci protested, ¡°You scared me to death. I called you over a dozen times, and you didn¡¯t even reply on WeChat. Didn¡¯t I teach you how to use it?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t have my phone on me.¡±
¡°I see.¡± Nangong Ci chuckled, ¡°So, does this mean everything is settled?¡±
Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond.
¡°Great! When youe back to the U.K., don¡¯t forget your marriage certificate. Fu Xihan wouldn¡¯t let you get divorced then. As for Dong Manjiao, she should give up too. You¡¯ve killed two birds with one stone. The old one really knows his stuff, your ambitions are boundless!¡±
The call was abruptly hung up.
**
A private room on the sixth floor of a luxury residence.
Nangong Ci wasn¡¯t annoyed that the call was hung up, instead heughed and pointed at the two in the room, ¡°Look at you guys, my elder brother has already found a wife. Aren¡¯t you guys feeling the pressure? You¡¯re not getting any younger, you know?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang shot him a cold nce, ¡°I think you¡¯re asking for a beating.¡±
As for Lu Chenyu, ¡°You¡¯re older than me.¡±
Nangong Ci:¡±¡¡±
**
Inside the Mercedes, while Huo Jingshen was on the phone, Su Wanwan was sneakily scrutinizing her future husband.
His short hair was stylishly cut, indicating that he was a man who took great care of his personal image.
Below the hair, were thick eyebrows, eyes that were neither big nor small, with deep double eyelids, making him look profound. His eyshes were exceptionally long.
A straight nose that exuded a certain air of arrogance and thin lips. His lower jaw was cleanly shaven.
His face was very pleasing to the eye. His side profile was even more so, with perfect lines. His ambience was cool but also very charming.
Anyway, Su Wanwan had to admit, Huo Jingshen was undoubtably a handsome man. She felt like she struck gold.
¡°Are you satisfied with your husband¡¯s face?¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Su Wanwan choked.
Huo Jingshen freed arge hand to gently pat her back, ¡°No rush.¡±
These two words, he said very gently. Su Wanwan thought to herself, not bad, quite considerate. But who knew the very next second¡
¡°You¡¯ll have plenty of time in future to look at me.¡±
¡±¡¡± Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Su Wanwan turned to look out the window, ¡°Where are we going?¡±
¡°Back to the Huo Family¡¯s house.¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan, startled, turned her face back.
So soon¡ she was about to meet her inws?
Huo Jingshen could barely contain hisughter, ¡°Is Wanwan feeling shy?¡±
¡°Shy your bum!¡±
¡°My grandparents are quite nice,¡± Huo Jingshenforted her, ¡°They¡¯ve always wanted me to get married sooner.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How old are you now?¡±
¡°Thirty.¡±
¡°What the hell!¡± Su Wanwan blurted out, ¡°That¡¯s so old!¡±
He¡¯s a thirty-year-old man!
A whole ten years older than her!
¡°Mmm, it is a bit old.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was adorably smug, ¡°I¡¯ll let you get used to it slowly.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Why does that sentence feel a bit off?
Something¡¯s a bit weird¡

The courtyard.
In the Huo¡¯s family living room, Mrs. Huo put down the phone, ¡°Wen Xiu, we can start dinner now.¡±
¡°Aunt, it¡¯s still early, let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± The speaker is a middle-aged beautiful woman, sitting next to her daughter Xiang Ranxin.
She is pretty and has an elegant temperament, and her white dress just makes her look even more graceful.
Mrs. Huo waved her hand with a smile, ¡°No need, I called in the morning and was told that he could only return in the afternoon. So, we¡¯ll eat first and when Ashen returns, let him chat with Ranxin.¡±
Hearing this, Xiang Ranxin blushed and hung her head in silence.
Mrs. Huo was pleased by her shy and modest demeanor.
The eldest daughter of the Xiang family was twenty-five, beautiful and smart, and had excellent conditions.
The two families had already privately agreed on their marriage, nning to engage her to the second son of the Huo family, Huo Nuanyang.
However, ever since Huo Nuanyang was promoted within team X, he had been rarely at home and the two younger generation had no chance to see each other.
On the other hand, Huo Jingshen had been frequentlying and going from the courtyard ever since returning to the country, inadvertently attracting Mrs. Xiang¡¯s attention¡
Mrs. Huo thought to herself, whether it was Huo Jingshen or Huo Nuanyang, they were her grandsons all the same. Huo Jingshen was even two years older than Huo Nuanyang, believing in the saying ¡°established at thirty,¡± if Xiang Ranxin could marry Huo Jingshen, it would be a good thing.
So she called Huo Jingshen early in the morning to gauge his thoughts about marriage.
To her surprise, Huo Jingshen not only readily admitted to wanting to get married but even said that the sooner the better, and asked her to quickly choose an auspicious date.
Mrs. Huo was delighted and immediately contacted Mrs. Xiang, leading to today¡¯s matchmaking banquet.
Amid theughter and chatter, everyone got up and moved to the dining room.
Just as they settled down, a servant hurried in to report, ¡°Master, Madam, the eldest young master is back.¡±
¡°What a coincidence?¡± Mrs. Huo quickly stood up again.
*
*
*
When Mrs. Huo arrived in the living room, she froze at the sight.
Huo Jingshen was standing in the entrance, and next to him¡ was a young girl!
She looked no more than eighteen or neen, with delicate features, a clean and white face, and at first nce, she looked like a beautiful porcin doll.
¡°Ashen, who is this?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s words shocked everyone, ¡°My wife.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mrs. Huo¡¯s volume suddenly went up.
The expressions of the people behind her also changed in an instant.
Su Wanwan was also stunned:
Huo Jingshen nced at everyone with a deep and calm gaze. ¡°Call them.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes.
Call who?
It wasn¡¯t until he gave her a squeeze on her hand that she got the hint, immediately opened her little mouth crisply and spoke, ¡°Hello, Grandpa! Hello, Grandma!¡±
She then looked at the elegantly dressed mother and daughter duo.
After a brief pause, she continued to say in a crisp voice, ¡°Hello, Auntie! Hello, Sister!¡±
With these titles, she shouldn¡¯t be wrong, right?
Who would have expected Mrs. Xiang to look even more upset at her words.
As for Xiang Ranxin, the awkwardness was added to the inconvenience.
Butpared to this fresh and cute young girl, isn¡¯t she, who is already twenty-five, just a sister?
Both Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo didn¡¯t look too satisfied, which made Su Wanwan quite anxious. She quickly turned to Huo Jingshen.
Did she address the wrong people?
Huo Jingshen was watching her, but he asked, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±
¡°Not hungry.¡±
Just as the words left Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth, a rumble resounded from her stomach.
Because everyone else was silent, the sound echoed clearly in the living room.
Damn awkward!
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched.
Did it need to be this embarrassing?
She was thinking about making a good first impression on the elders by her entrance.
¡°Hm.¡± Huo Jingshen gave a very short chuckle. Then he stopped a servant who was standing by. ¡°Aunt Xiu, is lunch ready?¡±
¡°It¡ it¡¯s ready, Young Master.¡± The servant barely stuttered out her reply and then quickly walked into the dining room with a tray.
This ce was a bit weird, she should leave sooner.
Huo Jingshen seemed oblivious as he held Su Wanwan¡¯s small hand and walked into the living room.
The other four people remained silent, the atmosphere eerie.
After a moment, Mrs. Xiang spoke awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but something just came up at home. I and Ranxin will leave first.¡±
Mrs. Huo was also embarrassed, ¡°Then¡ I¡¯ll see you off.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need, no need¡¡±
¡°We should, we should¡¡±
Su Wanwan was bewildered.
Well, apparently she called the wrong people. The mother and daughter duo were not Huo Jingshen¡¯s rtives, but guests.
Before she could think further¡
¡°Ashen.¡± Mr. Huo grimaced, ¡°Come with me to the study.¡±
¡°Okay, Grandpa.¡± Huo Jingshen respectfully agreed, then turned to Su Wanwan and whispered, ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan nodded.
She looked obedient and well-behaved.
As expected, Mr. Huo shot her a nce from the corner of his eyes, but then quickly turned around and walked away.
When Huo Jingshen followed him into the study and closed the door, Su Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief.
She had mistakenly expected the Huo family to be simply nouveau riche who ran apany and did business, richer and more powerful than the Xing Family, but she hadn¡¯t expected the family background to be soplex, and living in a courtyard that one could only see in the news.
As she entered, the heavily guarded look of the security guards almost made her feel like she had traveled through time.
¡°Third young master.¡±
There was suddenly some movement at the entrance.
Another member of the Huo family¡¯s arrived?
Su Wanwan immediately straightened her posture.
This time, she must make a good impression.
The footsteps of the neer grew louder and closer with each step, and then¡
¡°Su! Wan! Wan!¡±
Chapter 32 - 32: 032, Grandma likes you
Chapter 32: Grandma likes you
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Su Wanwan frowned at the man in front of her with his hair standing on end.
He was probably in his early twenties, wore sunsses, dressed in a gaudy floral shirt, had a bandage on his head, and wore a semi-long hair in the middle ¨C reminiscent of¡
A small-time thug you can find anywhere on the streets.
¡°Who are you?¡¯1 She didn¡¯t remember knowing such a character.
Hearing this, Huo Zhexi almost fainted in anger.
She cracked his head open, got him grounded and scolded for several days by Huo Yuanshan, and now she¡¯s innocently asking who he is?
He pointed fiercely at her face and said, ¡°Speak! Why are you here in my home?¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, sounding genuinely innocent, ¡°This is your home?¡±
¡°What an idiot!¡±
Huo Zhexi suddenly removed his sunsses, and the next second¡
¡°Damn! You¡¯re not here toin to my grandpa, are you?¡±
Grandpa?
Su Wanwan seemed to make sense of it, so this thug was Huo Jingshen¡¯s younger brother?
The little brother was already cursing, ¡°Listen up, you stinky girl, I haven¡¯t settled the bar issue with you yet. If you ever mention the drug incident that I did to you, I¡ I will kill you!¡±
¡°Drugged?¡± Su Wanwan grabbed the point, ¡°When did you ever drug me?¡±
Huo Zhexi:¡±¡¡±
Damn!
She didn¡¯t know about the drugging?
So why did he confess out of nowhere?
Is it toote to pretend that nothing happened?
¡°Zhexi!¡±
The voice of Mrs. Huo had alreadye over.
The once ferocious Huo Zhexi instantly turned soft, ¡°Grandma.¡±
Mrs. Huo walked into the living room and pped him on the arm, ¡°The moment you get home, you start shouting! I can hear you all the way! Didn¡¯t you see we have guests?¡±
Huo Zhexi bulged his eyes, ¡°Guests?¡±
¡°Not exactly guests, this youngdy is going to be your sister-inw soon¡±. Mrs. Huo said, and she took a good look at Su Wanwan. She didn¡¯t have time to look closely before¡
¡°What the hell!¡± Huo Zhexi shouted.
¡°She¡¯s your big brother¡¯s girlfriend, the one he¡¯s about to marry,¡± Mrs. Huo patiently exined, immediately walking up to Su Wanwan.
Finally, she could have a close look!
This young girl was really good-looking, with a delicate, oval face, fair skin, beautiful features. The kind that would stand out in a crowd at a nce.
Especially those pretty phoenix eyes, carrying a little bit of a peach blossoming allure. Even without any makeup now, the corners of her eyes were upwards, which seemed particrly spirited when she smiled.
After inspecting her from head to toe, Mrs. Huo was relieved.
Never mind that she couldn¡¯t marry the mayor¡¯s daughter as a granddaughter-inw, as long as Ashen liked this little girl and they had a good rtionship, that was better than anything else.
¡°Grandma!¡± Huo Zhexi rushed over, ¡°This stinky girl is bad news! She seduced me at the bar on purpose. You can¡¯t let her marry big brother!¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not spouting nonsense. What¡¯s more, this wound on my head was because of her!¡±
Mrs. Huo frowned, apparently not believing him.
After all, Huo Zhexi was a tall man over one meter eight, and Su Wanwan was a delicate little girl. It just didn¡¯t look like he was beaten by her!
Su Wanwan had a sudden realization, so that was the guy from the bar that night?
She had had too much to drink and wasn¡¯t in a good mood.
Mo Weiyi once said that when she got drunk, she became apletely different person. She became unbridled and destructive, even men couldn¡¯t handle her.
Just as she was considering how to exin it¡
¡°You think I don¡¯t know your personality?¡± The old woman snorted coldly, ¡°It must be that you saw a pretty youngdy and had lustful thoughts, even attempted to harass her. You deserved to be beaten up! You¡¯re lucky she didn¡¯t kick your privates!
¡°Pfft!¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help butugh and hurriedly lowered her head to hold it in.
Huo Zhexi red at her maliciously, then continued to distort the story, ¡°Grandma, I really didn¡¯t do anything. It was this Su Wanwan who seduced me first, and now she¡¯s here to seduce big brother. She must have ulterior motives!¡±
¡°Su Wanwan?¡± Old Lady Huo repeated it, then happily took Su Wanwan¡¯s hand, ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful, and your name is so lovely. Grandma likes you.¡±
Huo Zhexi:¡±¡¡±
After praising Su Wanwan, Old Lady Huo turned to Huo Zhexi. Her expression changed 180 degrees, and she warned him sternly, ¡°Zhexi, I will put up with your antics at ordinary times but not today. Your big brother is turning thirty, a man of that age, and it¡¯s not easy to find such a beautiful wife. If you scare off my daughter-inw, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Huo Zhexi was so angry that he almost spat blood, ¡°Grandmother, am I really your grandson?¡±
¡°If you weren¡¯t my grandson, I would be happy enough to eat an extra two bowls of rice!¡± Old Madam Huo replied without any hesitation.
Huo Zhexi started to speak again when suddenly, there was a loud crash from the study.
*
*
¡°This is ridiculously insane!¡±
Inside the study, papers and stationary were scattered all over the floor. Old man Huo stood behind the desk, gasping for breath, and his eyes were full of anger.
Compared to his intense anger, Huo Jingshen¡¯s face didn¡¯t change at all. He even bent down to pick up the items on the floor, one by one, and put them back on the table.
His tone was indifferent as well.
¡°Grandpa, you should take care of your health. The doctor said those with high blood pressure should keep their mood pleasant.¡±
Old man Huo¡¯s face stiffened.
Under Huo Jingshen¡¯s calm yet seemingly all-knowing gaze, he abruptly turned around.
After gradually calming down, old man Huo started speaking again, ¡°If you truly dislike the mayor¡¯s daughter and don¡¯t want to get involved with the political world, that¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll ask Weng Ying to help you find a good girl from a respectable family, with a crystal-clear background. But this Su Wanwan won¡¯t do. Do you know that the Su family never admitted to having her as their daughter? No one knows who her birth mother is, do you know why that is? Because disgrace should be kept within the family! If you were to marry her and her mother¡¯s past were to surface, where would I, Huo Yuanshan, put my face? Where would our Huo family¡.¡±
¡°Did you not advise my father in the same way back then, Grandfather?¡±
A single phrase made old man Huo freeze.
As someone who had lived past his seventieth birthday, his biggest concern was¡
Due to differences in opinions regarding marriage matters, he fell out with his favorite eldest son.
As a result, father and son became irreconcble enemies. Huo Zecheng, with his wife and children, gave up everything resolutely and emigrated to Y Country.
Several years ago, Huo Zecheng died as a stranger in a foreignnd, and father and son never saw each other for thest time.
¡°After my mother passed away, my father lived in a trance every day. Every time I went home, he always assumed that my mother hade back. Sometimes he even mistook Jinghua.¡±
Looking at the words ¡°able to let go¡± on the wall, Huo Jing Shen¡¯s voice was low and nd, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
¡°Then one day, Jinghua was filming abroad, and I was negotiating with people outside. The servant didn¡¯t watch him, and he ran out alone and identally fell from the tenth floor¡¯s staircase of the mall. That mall was newly built, and every floor was made of ss¡.¡±
¡°Stop speaking!¡±
The old man interrupted in an unsteady voice.
Huo Jing Shen didn¡¯t continue.
There was a deathly silence in the study..

¡°Knock, knock, knock!¡± Old Madam Huo knocked on the door a few times, ¡°Old man, I¡¯m giving you five more minutes to finish your conversation. Hurry up and bring out Ashen for dinner!¡±
11 II
When she turned around again, old Master Huo had already regained hisposure, ¡°I ask you, how old is this Su Wanwan this year?¡¯
¡°She just turned 20 today.¡±
Old Master Huo almost lost his temper again.
A damn thirty-year-old man acting ridiculously smitten with a twenty-year-old girl. He indeed inherited his father¡¯s unprincipled character! Seduced by beauty!
¡°Although she is only twenty.¡± There was a hint of teasing in Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes, ¡°She is already very mature for her age.¡±
Old Master Huo didn¡¯t detect any undertone in his words, only replied, ¡°After that, let Qinyu give her some education. Now that she is prepared to join the Huo family as a daughter-inw, she must understand some basic etiquette.¡±
Huo Jingshen was nomittal.
¡°Moreover, there¡¯s no need to rush the wedding.¡± Old Master Huo advised, ¡°She is still young, you have just returned to the country not long ago, the group hasn¡¯t stabilized, and your career should be the priority. Put your personal rtionship on hold; you two can continue dating for now¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible.¡±
II II
Old Master Huo was breathing heavily, looking quite aggravated.
As an elder, he believed he had made a significant concession.
Huo Jingshen said, ¡°A reporter came to interview at the Su family house earlier.
As of now, probably everyone in Nancheng knows about my wedding.¡±
Old Master Huo was speechless,¡±¡¡±

Dining room.
Huo family was using a Chinese-style round table for their dining, Su Wanwan was asked to sit next to the old madam, while Huo Zhexi sat across from her, ring at her with murderous eyes.
Su Wanwan felt that this younger brother was somewhat childish.
Soon, thest dish was served by the servant, and Old Master Huo and Huo Jingshen had wrapped up their conversation, leisurely entering the dining room.
Huo Jingshen directly sat next to Su Wanwan, while Old Master Huo took his ce at the head of the table.
¡°Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s eat.¡±
After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, everyone started eating. Other than the sounds of bowls and chopsticks, it was unexpectedly quiet with no one speaking a word.
Su Wanwan bowed her head, about to lift a chopstick of rice¡
¡°Wanwan, have some fish soup first, it¡¯s good for a woman¡¯s body.¡± Old Madam Huo said, cing a bowl of fish soup in front of Su Wanwan.
¡°Thank you, grandma.¡± Su Wanwan put down the chopsticks, just about to take the spoon¡
¡°Try the sweet and sour pork ribs, it¡¯s Yunxiu¡¯s specialty.¡± After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, she gestured to Huo Jingshen, ¡°Ashen, hurry up and serve your wife some food.¡±
Huo Jingshen stood up, reached across the table, and brought back the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs that was in front of Huo Zhexi.
Huo Zhexi protested, ¡°Big brother, I haven¡¯t eaten yet!
¡°Respect your elders.¡± Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t even nce at him, ¡°When your sister-inw finishes eating, you can eat.¡±
Damn it! Huo Zhexi couldn¡¯t bear such injustice and shouted on the spot, ¡°This is too much! Grandma, look at big brother, he¡¡±
¡°Bang!¡± Old Master Huo hit his chopsticks abruptly, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat, get lost!¡±
Huo Zhexi immediately wilted, hanging his head and daring not make another fuss.
Su Wanwan was also somewhat scared by this. However, Old Madam Huo wasughing, ¡°Wanwan, hurry up and taste the pork ribs.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
The meal was finally over, taken in tense silence.
Aside from Huo Zhexi who had tension with her, Old Master Huo who was too stern, Old Madam Huo seemed to be quite approachable. She didn¡¯t possess the shrewdness and malice of the matriarchs in TV dramas. Her warmth¡ caught her off guard.
Returning to the living room, Huo Jingshen picked up the car keys, ¡°We have things to do, we¡¯ll leave first.¡±
¡°It¡¯S only two o¡¯clock. Isn¡¯t your flight in the evening? Where are you rushing to?¡± Old Madam Huo was displeased. She hadn¡¯t had the chance to chat with her granddaughter-inw yet.
Huo Jingshen was very confident, ¡°I am going to get the marriage certificate with my wife.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±

Su¡¯s vi.
The sound of a delicate woman¡¯s voice came from the partially closed
bathroom on the first floor.
¡°Brother Yun, I wronged you. I didn¡¯t know that my sister and your cousin were together. I won¡¯t be angry with you anymore, can you forgive me?
¡°It¡¯s not me you should be apologizing to.¡±
¡°I know, I wronged my sister. I shouldn¡¯t have mentioned what was on the newspaper today. I will apologize to her right away.¡± Su Yanyan spoke humbly, ¡°Brother Yun, from now on I will listen to you, we¡
¡°Tomorrow, I will personally mention the cancetion of our engagement to my grandparents.¡± Xing Yuyun said coldly before pulling the door open and leaving.
Su Yanyan was startled and quickly followed.
Once outside, however, she was stopped by Jiang Yi, ¡°Yanyan, calm down.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve apologized to Brother Yun, why does he still want to cancel our engagement? The wedding invitations have been sent out. All our friends and rtives know about it. If I¡¯m really dumped now, I¡¯ll be theughingstock of everyone!¡±
-All right, don¡¯t make a fuss.¡± Jiang Yi lowered her voice, ¡°I¡¯ve already talked to your Aunt Huo. She will persuade Yuyun. Don¡¯t push him too hard for now¡¡± ¡°But he mentioned going to Xing Grandpa and Xing Grandma!¡± Su Yanyan interrupted tearfully.
She had previously thought, it was just Xing Yuyun throwing a tantrum, so she didn¡¯t take it to heart. But if it really got to Xing Family¡¯s elders, there would probably be no room for maneuvering anymore.
It wasn¡¯t until then that Jiang Yi realized the seriousness of the situation. She was about to speak when the maid¡¯s voice cut in.
¡°Madam, someone is here to see the master.¡±
The study door swung open, Su Yuntang¡¯s brows knit tightly, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Mr. Su, hello, my name is Ji Jie and I¡¯m Mr. Huo¡¯s assistant.¡± Ji Jie introduced himself, pulling out a business card, ¡°Mr. Huo asked me toe pickup Ms. Su¡¯s personal belongings.¡±
Upon hearing this, Su Yuntang immediately ordered the maid, ¡°You go upstairs, pack up that wretch¡¯s stuff and let him take it all.¡±
¡°¡Yes, sir.¡±
¡°Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Su.¡± Ji Jie added, ¡°We also need your help to provide the household register. Mr. Huo said it is needed for the marriage certificate.¡± Su Yuntang became even more impatient, ¡°Go get the household register too.¡± Behind him, Su Yanyan¡¯s face suddenly changed, ¡°Mom, is Su Wanwan really going to marry into the Huo family¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say it.¡±
Jiang Yi¡¯s eyes warned her against it, especially since there were outsiders present.
Su Yanyan bit her lip, her heart was itching ufortably like it was being tickled by countless ants.
Everything had been nned originally. She snatched Xing Yuyun, Su Wanwan got dumped, and wasughed at by everyone. Howe now¡
She was the one being dumped?
And Su Wanwan was going to marry into the Huo family?
No!
She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!

Meanwhile, at a civil affairs bureau in Nancheng.
Su Wanwan was seated on a long bench in the lobby, aimlessly swinging her fair little legs, utterly bored.
She turned her head and saw a man standing outside making a phone call.
One hand was stuffed into his suit trouser pocket while the other held a mobile phone, his raised arm revealing distinct muscle lines. His shirt was as clean as if it had been bleached, and his suit trousers were as impably ironed as always.
He was intently focused, his expression calm, the profile of his face perfect like a masterpiece carved by a knife¡
Compared to the people around him, he always seemed like a wise, reserved businessman. Yet, he had impulsively married her, who he met only three days ago!
¡°Mrs. Huo.¡±
¡°Madam Huo.¡±
¡°¡Miss Su?¡±
Su Wanwan finally lifted her head, ¡°Did you call me?¡±
The clerk wiped off some sweat. Was Mrs. Huo¡¯s hearing impaired?
¡°Miss Su, could you please give me your and Mr. Huo¡¯s IDs?¡±
Su Wanwan twirled a strand of her hair around, ¡°What IDs? I didn¡¯t bring them.¡±
The clerk:¡±¡¡±
Weren¡¯t they supposed to have arranged everything in advance?
Howe she didn¡¯t bring any IDs?
¡°Wait a moment, the IDs will be here soon.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice sounded from the side.
¡°Alright, Mr. Huo.¡±
The clerk left, and Huo Jingshen walked up and stood in front of Su Wanwan.
His deep ck eyes swept over her cute little legs, then he said, ¡°I have a flight to Y Country at six tonight.¡±
¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Su Wanwan was just about to- when she saw his eyes narrow slightly.
¡°You seem very happy?¡±
Su Wanwan coughed twice, lowering her head.
It was not because she was timid!
Primarily, it was because he was ten whole years older than her, had vastly more social experience, and was much taller. The way he looked down at her made his aura too intimidating¡.
¡°I will be back in a week, if everything goes well, I might only need five days.¡± Huo Jingshen finished speaking as if instructing a subordinate, ¡°You can call me if anything happens over the next few days, you can also¡¡±
He paused, ¡°send me a WeChat message.¡±
He only started using this trendy app aftering back from abroad because Nangong Ci insisted that everyone in China was using it.
Su Wanwan nodded, but she was thinking, what could possibly happen?
¡°Let me add you on WeChat, and give me your mobile number.¡± After he finished speaking, a ck business smartphone appeared in front of her.
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched.
She did not want to add him, but he was still standing there-
with no other option, Su Wanwan took the phone and obediently added him.
¡°Hello, Mr. Huo! Hello, Mrs. Huo!¡±
The sound of running footsteps suddenly appeared.
After handing over the IDs to Huo Jingshen, Ji Jie respectfully handed a small pink bag, ¡°Ma¡¯am, this is your luggage.¡±
¡°¡ Thank you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee, Ma¡¯am. If you need anything in the future, just tell me.¡± Ji Jie spoke obsequiously.
¡°¡ Thank you.¡±
¡°No need to be so polite to me, Ma¡¯am.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°You can go now.¡±
At Huo Jingshen¡¯smand, Ji Jie immediately showed obedience, ¡°Alright, Mr. Huo, I wish you and Ma¡¯am a happy marriage, may you live together until old age! Goodbye!¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
10 minutester.
Su Wanwan got back into the car and looked at the bright red booklet in her hand, still feeling a bit dazed.
The whole thing happened so fast!
If Mo Weiyi, who had been considering how to marry her for 10 years, knew she got herself married in less than half a day, would he cry?
She suddenly felt a warmth in her hand, and the red booklet was gone.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes shot open, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Huo Jingshen took his phone, held the two red booklets in his hand and made a ¡°click¡± sound, then said, ¡°Official announcement.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Huo Jingshen sent the picture to a WeChat group and then started the car..

He was oblivious to the fact that the official announcement photo had blown up in the WeChat group.
Everything was smooth sailing.
Just like their hitch-free marriage.
Su Wanwan thought they were going back to the militarypound, but to her surprise, Mu Shang pulled up at the ¡°Tianquan Royal Court¡±.
It¡¯s the most prominent affluent residence in Nancheng, located near the fourth ring of Nancheng, the inspiration for its design sourced from Europe¡¯s most renowned architects.
It is said that even a slight fluctuation in the mood of the homeowners here could impact the GDP of the whole of Nancheng, earning it the nickname of ¡°barometer of Nancheng¡±.
Mu Shang pulled up in a yard and stopped.
Su Wanwan got out of the car first and saw several fancy cars parked in the garage ahead, all either Maybachs or Ferraris.
Her husband sure lived avish life!
¡°Woof!¡±
Suddenly, the barking of a dog echoed.
Su Wanwan turned around and saw a dark shadow rushing at her like an arrow.
¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡± Su Wanwan shrieked, quickly turned around, and practically with all fours, clung onto Huo Jingshen in an instant.
All within a second.
Huo Jingshen arched his eyebrow, naturally reaching out to support her.
¡°Hurry!¡± Su Wanwan held onto his neck firmly, her voice trembling, ¡°Get the dog away!¡±
¡°Woof!¡± The dog had already run up to them, raising its front paws and sticking out its tongue.
Wanwan felt a strange, mmy sensation on her leg¡
¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡± Su Wanwan almost copsed in fear, her voice breaking, ¡°Hurry, get it away, I¡¯m terrified of dogs!¡±
Huo Jingshen:
Um.
The feeling of having a legitimate reason to hold his wife after getting married was not bad, but soon¡
¡°Holy shit!¡±
¡°Tsk tsk.¡±
¡°Hehe.¡±
Three beaming third wheels came out from the vi.
Huo Jingshen had no choice but to speak up, ¡°Xiao San, take Ko back.¡±
¡°Damn it, how many times have I told you, don¡¯t call me Xiao San!¡± Nangong Ciined, but obediently took the dog leash anyway.
Ko was also unhappy.
Ever since it arrived in China, no one had taken it for a walk. It hardly saw its master, and now it was wrong to show its affection to its owner?
The German Shepherd felt wronged as it was led away, looking back three times with every step.
Huo Jingshen patted the back of the young girl¡¯s head, ¡°It¡¯s safe now.¡±
Su Wanwan slowly lifted her head, first looking around to make sure the dog was gone, and then¡
She saw two unfamiliar young men standing behind her.
Both were very tall.
One holding a ss of red wine, with a devilishly handsome face and a rather feminine air about him. His thin lips pulled up in a smirk, clearly he wasn¡¯t someone to mess with.
The other had his hands in his pockets, sporting ck-rimmed sses, a id shirt, and trousers. Though he appeared schrly and refined, his expressionless face gave off an otaku vibe.
Holy shit!
Blushing, she quickly jumped down from Huo Jingshen¡¯s arms.
¡°Has the case in the mansion been handled?¡± Huo Jingshen asked indifferently.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯re going public and wanted us toe celebrate?¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, his alluring eyes swiftly sizing up Su Wanwan, he asked, ¡°How old is this girl? Is she even eighteen?¡±
¡°Call her sister-inw.¡± No sooner had Huo Jingshen spoken.
¡°Sister-inw.¡± The emotionless man immediatelyplied.
¡°Damn it Lu, can¡¯t you have some decency?¡± Chu Xiuhuang looked at Lu Chenyu with disdain.
This damn kid usually remained silent, every day with that impassive face, acting all deep and restrained. But now he¡¯s suddenly taking the initiative?
Lu Chenyu said word by word, ¡°Even if it¡¯s an older man marrying a younger woman, she¡¯s still sister-inw.¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s face darkened.
Su Wanwan coughed.
Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and drained his ss of red wine in one go.
Even if he was an older man who¡¯s marrying a younger girl, how could he, Mr. Chu, call a young girl his sister-inw?
Sorry, he just couldn¡¯t say it.
¡°You can leave now.¡± Huo Jingshen started to hustle the guests out.
¡°C¡¯mon bro.¡± Nangong Ci rushed back from the dog house, hastily exining, ¡°I specially called these guys over to celebrate your announcement, Little Mingzi is abroad, we¡¯ll include him next time.¡±
He finished, then started winking, ¡°Yo, Miss Su, you move so quickly¡¡±
¡°Call her sister-inw.¡± Lu Chenyu interrupted.
Chu Xiuhuang couldn¡¯t help but give him another side-eye, was this kid on drugs today?
Why was he talking so much?
And why was he so eager to please?
¡°Sister-inw!¡± Nangong Ci¡¯s loud voice startled Ko in the doghouse, causing it to howl.
Su Wanwan had an instinctive fear of dogs and unconsciously moved towards Huo Jingshen, holding onto his arm.
Her helpless and innocent demeanor was truly endearing. Huo Jingshen felt a softness in his heart. His mood instantly brightened, his eyebrows rxed, and the corner of his lips rose slightly.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyelid twitched as he watched.
Damn it, this man smiling like an idiot¡ was that Huo Jingshen?
He must be mistaking him for Shi Lezhi (a fictional Japanese character known for his constant smile)..

Upon entering the living room, Huo Jingshen called for a servant, ¡°Take thedy upstairs to rest first.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
When Su Wanwan and the servant¡¯s figures disappeared, Chu Xiuhuang snickered, ¡°Ah, married men are indeed different.¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at him indifferently.
An ominous nce.
¡°Big brother, what¡¯s so different?¡± Nangong Ci couldn¡¯t help but ask. How couldn¡¯t he notice it?
Lu Chenyu, also single, raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
Chu Xiuhuang lifted his red wine, took an unhurried sip, and said, ¡°You two bachelors should try dating first, thene back and ask me your questions.¡±
Nangong Ci rolled his eyes, ¡°What does this have to do with dating?¡±
¡°You two haven¡¯t even started dating yet, barely made it past primary school, and already want to discuss postgraduate matters?¡± Chu Xiuhuang added after finishing, ¡°Brother is an exception. He bypassed kindergarten and graduated directly.¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Nangong Ci spat out a mouthful of red wine.
Alternatively, Lu Chenyu gave his big brother a thumbs-up.
Huo Jingshen narrowed his dark eyes, ¡°Are all three of you jobless?¡±
Are they nning on staying forever?
Chu Xiuhuang casually stretched his long legs, as leisurely as always, ¡°Big brother, I lost millions because of you this time. If you don¡¯t give me an exnation, I¡¯ll go to Xiao Yebai.¡±
¡°Second brother, Xiao Yebai is backed by the Mo family.¡± Nangong Ci reminded.
¡°So what?¡±
It¡¯s just the Mo family. He, Chu Xiuhuang, wasn¡¯t concerned about them at all, or else he wouldn¡¯t bepeting with the Mo family through his investments.
Huo Jingshen stood up right away, ¡°Make yourself scarce before Ie back downstairs.¡±
Everyone:
**
Upstairs, Su Wanwan looked around the enormous master bedroom, ¡°Are there any other rooms?¡±
¡°Mydy, this is the master bedroom.¡± The servant responded in surprise. Surely¡
Mr. Huo and his wife aren¡¯t nning on sleeping in separate rooms?
Of course, Su Wanwan knew this was the master bedroom.
The entire room was colored only in shades of ck, white, and grey.
Understated and cool.
Monotonous and dull.
It screamed of an old man¡¯s aesthetic taste: she couldn¡¯t get used to it!
Moreover, this room was too big and empty, with hardly any decorations. If she were to sleep here¡ it might be quite unsettling.
¡°Mydy, you can call me Auntie Liu, like the master, and I¡¯ll be here working from 10 to 6 every day. If there¡¯s anything you need, please don¡¯t hesitate to call me at any time.¡±
¡°Okay, thank you, Auntie Liu.¡±
After the servant left, the first thing Su Wanwan did was get her phone charger and plug in her phone.
Then, she went to open the door to the bathroom.
Wow, even the bathroom was massive!
An entire wall was covered in mirrors. The tiles were made of ck and white marble and divided into three sections for washing, showering, and bathing.
The bathing area was particrly noticeable due to the exceptionallyrge bathtub. Taking a bath here at night would surely be very rxing¡
¡°The bathtub seems not big enough.¡±
The sudden voice startled Su Wanwan.
Holy crap.
Did this man not make any noise when he walked?
Turning around, she saw Huo Jingshen standing behind her. He was so close that¡
She could smell the faint scent of tobo on him.
Su Wanwan subconsciously stepped back. Wearing Huo Jingshen¡¯s slippers, which were toorge, her foot unexpectedly slid out,nding on the cold tile.
Huo Jingshen looked down, her small, incredibly white foot standing out against the ck tiles. White enough¡to be rather tempting.
Scrambling to stuff her foot back into the slipper, Su Wanwan, flustered and at a loss for words, stammered, ¡°Ah, you¡ aren¡¯t youte for your flight?¡±
The man merely grunted in response.
¡°Isn¡¯t it almost half-past four?¡± Su Wanwan kindly reminded him.
¡°Not to worry,¡± he said, before taking a step forward.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but retreat a step back.
Yet Huo Jingshen advanced another step.
¡°What¡are you trying to do?¡± Su Wanwan blinked her clear and bright eyes, her words stumbling out.
Huo Jingshen stared at her unwaveringly, ¡°Ah, I want to, but¡I can¡¯t.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Err¡
Was he¡making a move on her?
¡°Come here.¡±
Huo Jingshen decided to stop beating around the bush and reached out a hand to gesture her over.
¡°What on earth are you nning to do?¡± Staring back into his eyes, Su Wanwan felt like a little rabbit that had fallen into a wolf¡¯sir, her heart pounding with fear.
She was aware that it¡¯s normal for married couples to do ¡°that,¡± but he was supposed to be catching a flight today, wasn¡¯t he?
He wasn¡¯t nning to devour her this hurriedly, was he?
¡°Come here.¡± His voice held a hint of impatience this time.
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.
Whatever.
Eater he must, eater he shall.
Whether it was sooner orter, she would be eaten anyway!
Bracing herself, she moved to take a step, but before she couldplete it, her hand was grasped.
¡°Close your eyes.¡±
Su Wanwan was a bit mystified.
Huo Jingshen curled his attractive thin lips, ¡°Do you like to kiss with your eyes open?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±??? ¡°

The next morning, car shopping.
¡°Wanwan, this car isn¡¯t bad¡ Wanwan, Wanwan!
Su Wanwan jerked back to reality, ¡°What?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s beautiful cat eyes stared directly at her, ¡°Are you thinking about
Huo Jingshen?¡±
Su Wanwan:
Indeed, she was thinking about Huo Jingshen ¡specifically, that kiss.
It was so lingering and tender.
It was more shocking than the first time at the hospital, like she was electrified
all over, and she couldn¡¯t even remember how Huo Jingshen left¡
¡°I knew it!¡± Mo Weiyi pped her hands with excitement, ¡°He¡¯s only been gone
a day and you¡¯re already beside yourself. Wow, it really is different for newlyweds.¡±
Su Wanwan coughed twice, ¡°So what if I miss him? We¡¯re married now, can¡¯t I miss my own husband?¡±
Her words were so bold that Mo Weiyi was left speechless.
The next second, she leaned closer to Su Wanwan, whispering suggestively,
¡°So, how is his¡technique?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
-You didn¡¯t want to sayst time, fine. But now you¡¯re married and you¡¯re still shy?¡± Mo Weiyi prodded her, impatient and eager, very unlike theposed elegance of a Nanchengdy.
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Does Xiaobai know how lustful you are?¡±
¡°He¡¯s my husband, of course, he knows.¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°Besides, if I wasn¡¯t thirsty, could I have sessfully snagged him?
Su Wanwan again:¡±¡¡±
Well, that makes sense.
Xiao Yebai was someone she had hardly interacted with. Every time they met, it was when he came to pick up Mo Weiyi from the boarding school. He gave her the impression of being: cold, very cold, extremely cold!
With a disinterested icy expression on his handsome face, he was aloof and distant.
And Mo Weiyi was like a passionate little sun, always full of energy¡
It proved that the power of the sun was great indeed.
¡°But you said Huo Jingshen went back to the UKst night, so you didn¡¯t consummate the marriage?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°I know what wedding gift to give you now.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Mo Weiyi said, looking mysterious.
¡°Miss.¡± At that moment, Zhou Teng ran in from outside, greeting Mo Weiyi,
¡°Miss Mo.¡±
¡°Uncle Zhou, I¡¯ve made my choice. I¡¯ll go with this one,¡± Su Wanwan pointed at a small red car casually.
Mo Weiyi wasn¡¯t satisfied, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re now the wife of the CEO of Huo
Yuan Real Estate. You¡¯re just going for a Camry?¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s pretty good.¡±
She didn¡¯t have a clear concept of money. Although she had not been favored growing up, due to Su Xueqin¡¯s existence, Su Yuntang never dared to treat her poorly materially. The two daughters had the same allowance. Besides, the money for this car was given by Su Xueqin¡
¡°How about a BMW at least?¡± Mo Weiyi pointed to a white convertible sports car nearby. ¡°This one is nice. We can drive around together. It would be so cool!¡±
¡°No need, just this one.¡± Su Wanwan asked Zhou Teng, ¡°Uncle Zhou, what do you think?¡±
¡°As long as you like it, Miss.¡±
After choosing the car and reporting to Su Xueqin, the two headed straight to the World Trade Skywalk.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t bring any luggage on her trip back to China. Although she had already asked her friends in Los Angeles to send her stuff back, the school was going to start in September, and the seasons were changing. She needed to buy some new clothes.
They went into a boutique. Su Wanwan selected clothes here, and Mo Weiyi ran directly to buy gifts.
She came back soon, ¡°Here, your wedding gift.¡±
That was quick?
Su Wanwan took the bag, wanting to open it¡
¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Mo Weiyi firmly covered the opening of the bag, ¡°Wait for your husband Huo toe back before you see it.¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t think much of it and put the bag on one side. ¡°I¡¯m going to try this dress.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
As soon as Su Wanwan walked into the fitting room, she heard a woman making a call in the next room.
At first, she didn¡¯t pay attention, but the voice was incredibly shrill and didn¡¯t consider that someone could hear her.
¡°How long has it been since youst saw me?¡±
¡°Oh, I don¡¯t care, I want you toe over.¡±
¡°No way, you¡¯re so close. If you don¡¯te to see me again, I¡¯m not leaving.¡± Goosebumps covered Su Wanwan¡¯s skin, she raised her hand to knock on the partition.
The next room fell silent, but not for long¡
¡°Right, then you need toe quickly. I¡¯lle with you to the hospital to change your bandage.¡±
Su Wanwan:
After changing her clothes, she pushed the door open and walked out.
Then a dramatic scene unfolded.
The woman who was making the call had alreadye out of the next room. Coincidentally, she was wearing the exact same yellow dress as Su Wanwan was. A sales girl was enthusiastically promoting the dress, ¡°Miss, this dress really looks good on you.¡±
Standing in front of the mirror, Su Wanwan raised her chin, then lifted her dress and did an elegant twirl.
The softly flowing chiffon fell gently back to her ankles, the girl reflected in the mirror had delicate features, a graceful figure, a fresh and refined temperament. At first nce, she was inexpressibly beautiful.
Su Wanwan was very satisfied, ¡°I think it looks pretty good on me too.¡±
Sure enough, that woman became angry upon hearing this, andshed out at the salesgirl, ¡°Tell me, who does this dress look better on, me or her?¡±
As the saying goes, ¡°It¡¯s not embarrassing to wear the same outfit, only if you are ugly.¡±
Both were customers, the salesgirl stuttered, not knowing how to handle the situation.
¡ö¡¯Miss Li, you¡¯ve been filming too muchtely and your face is waxen from staying upte. This dress is yellow as well, it doesn¡¯t suit you.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice suddenly came over..

For some strange reason, the haughty woman from before wilted in an instant. She shot Su Wanwan a venomous re, then stormed into the fitting room.
Not long after, she emerged in her own clothes, and spitefully tossed the dress at the attendant. ¡°It¡¯s awful, I don¡¯t want it!¡± she snapped.
¡°ming your looks on the clothes now, Miss Lai? Maybe all thosete nights have affected your vision too,¡± Su Wanwan remarked.
Miss Lai¡¯s face had turned an ugly shade, but she said nothing. She picked up her bag and stormed off.
¡°Why does she seem so scared of you?¡±
¡°Of course, she¡¯s scared of me.¡± Mo Weiyiughed slyly. ¡°Because I have something on her.¡±
*

After checking out, the two wandered into the store next door. When they emerged, they encountered the same woman in the hall.
This time, there was a tall man with her. She clung tightly to his arm, almost pressing her entire body against him, oblivious to the strange looks they were drawing.
¡°It¡¯s a small world.¡±
No sooner had Mo Weiyi spoken than the couple spun around to face them.
¡°Damn it, Su Wanwan! Yet again, it¡¯s you, you wretched girl!¡±
Oh great, it was Huo Zhexi.
Su Wanwan thought, yep, it¡¯s a scandalously small world indeed.
The woman looked shocked. ¡°Zhexi, you know her?¡±
Zhexi?
Su Wanwan felt a wave of nausea.
¡°Of course, I do. The cut on my head? It¡¯s from a wine bottle this damn girl hit me with!¡± Huo Zhexi said, his eyes burning with rage at Su Wanwan.
In public, without the protection of his family, he didn¡¯t bother to hide his anger and disgust.
The woman quickly joined in, ¡°Such a violent girl! How dare she harm our Zhexi! She¡¯s such a shrew!¡±
No wonder she¡¯s good friends with Mo Weiyi.
Of course, she didn¡¯t dare voice thest thought, keeping her resentment to herself.
Mo Weiyi, however, was quick to retort. ¡°Wanwan, I remember you telling me that the third young master of the Huo family and Xing Yuyun were close friends. Seems like they really are¡ª they not only like to wear the same pants, but they also go after the same type of woman. I wonder if they also share the same hole when they y golf?¡±
Su Wanwan had to suppress herughter.
So this woman had a thing with Xing Yuyun too?
There¡¯s so much she didn¡¯t know.
¡°Mo Weiyi, what nonsense are you talking about!¡± The woman blushed uncontrobly, her expression frantic.
¡°Nonsense?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s smirk was shamelessly amused. ¡°I still have copies of those photos of you and Xing Yuyun fromst time. Should I send a copy to your dear Zhexi as well? It¡¯s all uncensored full HD, are you sure you want this?¡±
Huo Zhexi¡¯s handsome face was now the color of coal.
This Lai Na was a newly rising starlet he had met at a party not long ago.
Recently, she had been relentlessly pursuing him, even somehow got ahold of his phone number. As he happened to be in the area today, he figured he¡¯d call her over. Little did he know¡
He jerked his arm away from her. ¡°You tramp!¡±
¡°Zhexi, let me exin. Xing and I¡ we¡¡±
¡°Oh, you just slept together, that¡¯s all,¡± Mo Weiyi interjected.
¡°Mo Weiyi, don¡¯t push me too far!¡± Furious as Lai Na was, she dared not offend Mo Weiyi, considering the background of the Mo Family.
Presently, onlookers were makingments and taking photos. Their murmurs filled the air:
¡°Did that man get cheated on?¡±
¡°More than that. He was betrayed by his own close friend.¡±
¡°Wow, he likes his friend¡¯s leftovers. Quite an exotic taste!¡±
¡°What do you know? Young people nowadays like to mix things up; this is the trend¡¡±
Huo Zhexi was livid and humiliated.
He loved partying and having fun, but he cared about his reputation too. He wasn¡¯t one to take anything that came his way.
With that, he raised his hand and pped her. ¡°You damn whore!¡±
A public fight? Now that¡¯s entertainment!
The spectators got more excited.
Su Wanwan, uninterested in their melodrama, tugged at Mo Weiyi¡¯s sleeve and turned to leave. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go upstairs.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
*
*
After finally shaking off Lai Na, Huo Zhexi drove himself to the hospital to get his bandages changed. But as he was rounding a corner at the elevator, he bumped into someone.
With his already foul mood, he exploded in an instant. ¡°Are you fucking blind! What, got a funeral to attend?¡±
Su Yanyan¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment.
It was clearly him who had run into her, and yet he had the audacity to throw a fit.
But this man was Huo Zhexi, third heir to the Huo Family, and a famous spoiled brat in Nancheng. She dared not offend him. Instead, she simply picked up her fallen report, spun around, and was about to leave¡
¡°Stop!¡± Huo Zhexi grabbed her arm. ¡°Apologize!¡±
It was one thing for that Su Wanwan girl to piss him off; she had the protection of the Huo Family and Huo Jingshen, with enemies too powerful to take on.
But this innocent-looking Su Yanyan daring to defy him too?
Did everyone think he, Huo Zhexi, was an easy target?
With that thought, he snatched the papers from her hand.
¡°Give it back!¡± Su Yanyan shouted.
Huo Zhexi nced down. 39 days pregnant?
Holy shit.
Before he could react, Su Yanyan snatched the report back and sprinted away.
Once she was back in her car, she immediately called Jiang Yi. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve got the report. I¡¯m going to the Xing residence now.¡±
With the proof of her pregnancy, even if Xing Yuyun wanted to call off the engagement, the elders of the Xing Family would never agree. But this time, what she wanted was more than just an engagement¡ªit was¡
To get married immediately!
**
That evening, Su Xueqin called Su Wanwan, asking her toe home..
Chapter 39 - 39: 039, The Jerk Gets Beaten Up
Chapter 39: The Jerk Gets Beaten Up
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Su Wanwan initially didn¡¯t want to go back, but because of Su Xueqin, she had no choice but to return.
That night she hailed a taxi. When she got off at the entrance, she didn¡¯t notice a caring behind her.
¡°Isn¡¯t that Wanwan?¡±
In the car, the elder Mr. Xing, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at the sound.
¡°Why is sheing by taxi?¡± Huo Qinyu seemed to be talking to herself, ¡°Didn¡¯t she and Ashen get their marriage certificate? She could have at least arranged a driver¡¡±
Two ck Audis slowly drove into the gate, passed by Su Wanwan, and finally drove into the garage.
Su Wanwan nced at them and then walked into the vi.
In the living room, Su Xueqin was sitting in a wheelchair reading a book. He was dressed more formally today, which made him look much better.
¡°Grandfather.¡±
When Su Xueqin saw his granddaughter, he smiled happily, ¡°Wanwan is here.¡±
The study door opened quickly and a family of three came out one after the other.
When he saw Su Wanwan, Su Yuntang¡¯s expression clearly changed, and he was very impatient. ¡°Why are you back suddenly?¡±
Su Wanwan deliberately said, ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve said it before that some people don¡¯t wee me back to this house. Next time, I don¡¯t think I¡¯lle back.¡±
Su Yuntang was instantly enraged, his face turned red, and he stared at her. ¡°Nonsense, what are you saying!¡±
¡°Smack!¡±
Louder than his voice was the sound of Su Xueqin throwing his book down, ¡°This is my house. Wanwan is here because I asked her toe. Anyone who has a problem with that can get the hell out!¡±
Known for his indiscreet remarks, this made Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan looked upset, while Su Wanwanughed heartily. She found a spot near Su Xueqin, sat down, and watched the show.
Su Yuntang red at her and said in a low voice, ¡°Dad, the elders from the Xing family will be here soon¡¡±
¡°If you care that much about losing face, then get out of here!¡±
¡°Dad¡¡±
Before Su Yuntang could say anything more, a servant announced, ¡°Sir, the Xing family has arrived.¡±
¡°Bring the guests in.¡±
At Su Xueqin¡¯smand, Su Yuntang had no choice but toply no matter how upset he was.
After Su Yuntang had left, Su Xueqin said quietly, ¡°Don¡¯t speak during the meeting. I¡¯ll deal with this for you.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Su Yanyan at the side clenched her fists tightly, and then slowly let go.
**
Soon, the senior Mr. Xing was the first to step into the living room. He was dressed in a ck cloak, leaning on a cane with a dragon head. Although he was almost 80 years old, he was tall with a piercing gaze. His tight facial features looked particrly stern.
Behind him in order were Mrs. Xing, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu, while Xing Yuyun was at the end.
Su Wanwan nced casually and noticed a band-aid on Xing Yuyun¡¯s face stained with blood, as if he had been beaten.
When their eyes met, she immediately looked away.
If before, she thought he was Just a jerk who couldn¡¯t control his lower body, now it seemed that he was a man who casually slept with female celebrities and even yed a game of swapping bed partners with his friends¡
Haha, indeed all men are swines!
After brief pleasantries, Elder Mr. Xing went straight to the point, ¡°Today I specifically came to apologize to my inws. I¡¯ve been living in the suburbs and didn¡¯t realize that my unfilial grandson had done so many wrongdoings. He has hurt the feelings of the inws and tarnished the reputation of the Xing Family.¡±
With that, he turned to Xing Yuyun, ¡°Yuyun, do you know where you went wrong?¡±
Xing Yuyun did not say anything.
Elder Mr. Xing¡¯s face darkened, and he swung the cane in his hand and hit Xing Yuyun¡¯s back with a ¡°bang.¡±
It was so sudden that even Su Wanwan was taken aback.
Huo Qinyu was worried about her son and couldn¡¯t help but intervene, ¡°Dad, you already disciplined Yuyun this afternoon ¡¡±
¡°In the afternoon, I was executing familyw. Now, I¡¯m teaching him how to be a human being.¡± Elder Mr. Xing was stern. He then turned to Xing Yuyun, ¡°Tell me, do you understand what you did wrong?¡±
Xing Yuyun remained silent, gritting his teeth. He was sweating coldly from the pain of the stick that had justnded on his forehead.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t have much contact with the Xing family. She only knew that the old Xing lord was a retired general from the army, and that he had delivered that blow with no restraint. Most people would struggle to endure it.
She looked over at Su Xueqin and saw him unfazed before-
With a ¡°bang,¡± another cane came crashing down.
The crowd reacted in various ways, but no one dared to step forward and intervene.
The caning continued for over a dozen blows-
To the point where Xing Yuyun couldn¡¯t help but grunt in pain-
¡°Enough.¡±
Finally,dy Xing could not bear it any more, ¡°Any more and you¡¯ll murder the man.¡±
¡°Heh,¡± Su Xueqin coldly snorted twice, ¡°Young people nowadays can¡¯t take a few hits. Just twenty blows and we¡¯re talking about losing a life?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
The old lord Xing took the opportunity to withdraw his cane, catching his breath before announcing, ¡°Today, here, I will make things clear on behalf of the Xing family.¡±
Under all the watchful eyes, Xing Guozhi presented a document.
¡°This is a property in the Sanluo Garden, consider it as apensation to Wanwan.¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
The others were also surprised.
Earlier this afternoon, Xing Yuyun had formally proposed to break the engagement with Su Yanyan to the seniors of the Xing family. This led to the old lord¡¯s angry response of smashing a teapot on his face, bloodying his face¡
And, now they came to the Su household not for Su Yanyan¡¯s sake?
Just as Su Yanyan was about to lose her patience, the old lord spoke again, ¡°On the 20th, our Xing family will hold a wedding ceremony for Yuyun and Yanyan. After that, Yanyan will be the legitimate daughter-inw of our Xing family.¡±
After employing a bitter trick and making a generous sacrifice, the Xing family managed to save face with sincerity. Upon spotting this, Su Xueqin raised his eyebrows and became quiet.
So, when Huo Qinyu took his son to the guest room to check on his wounds, Jiang Yi and Lady Xing had already started discussing the details of the wedding. The living room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, as if the incident of corporal punishment had never happened.
Five minutester, Su Wanwan found an excuse to go upstairs.
**
The bedroom had been tidied up really well by the servants.
Just as Su Wanwan was seated on the sofa and ncing at her social media feed, her phone rang. The call was from an unfamiliar local number.
¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Is this Wanwan? This is grandma.¡±
Holy cow, it¡¯s actually Old Lady Huo!
¡°Hello, grandma.¡± Su Wanwan quickly replied in a sweet tone.
Old Lady Huo seemed very pleased, ¡°Wanwan, are you free tomorrow?¡±
¡°What can I do for you, grandma?¡±
¡°I just called Ashen. He said it will take a few more days for him to finish his matters ande back. The vi in Imperial Court is too big. It¡¯s not safe for you to live there alone.¡±
Old Lady Huo gave a bunch of reasons and finally asked, ¡°How abouting back home for dinner tomorrow?¡±
¡°Ok..¡±
¡°Fantastic, I¡¯ll send the driver to pick you up tomorrow morning. By the way, add me on WeChat, the number is this phone number.¡±
¡°¡ okay.¡± Su Wanwan thought to herself, ¡®wow, the olddy is really trendy, she even uses WeChat.¡¯
After hanging up, she saved the number in her contacts, then added it on WeChat.
Upon seeing her name, Su Wanwan almost burst intoughter. Old Lady Huo¡¯s WeChat user was unexpectedly named ¡°Fu Ying Girl Never Gives Up.¡±¡
¡°Su Wanwan.¡±
The sudden voice instantly ruined Su Wanwan¡¯s good mood.
She looked up, ¡°I find it fascinating how thick some people¡¯s skin can be.. Didn¡¯t your mother ever teach you to knock before entering someone else¡¯s
room?¡±
Chapter 40 - 40: 040, Confrontation
Chapter 40: Confrontation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
¡°You were acting so good and nice downstairs just now, but now your true nature is revealed, huh? Su Wanwan, you really do know how to be two-faced.¡±
The thing Su Yanyan hated most about Su Wanwan was this. But Su Xueqin had a taste for this kind of behavior!
Every time she saw Su Wanwan acting cute and charming in front of Su Xueqin, it made her feel like throwing up!
Especially today. It was clear that Master Xing hade to take her side, but for the sake of Su Xueqin¡¯s face, she had to give Su Wanwan a house aspensation.
Su Wanwan did not bother to deal with her, and got up to leave.
¡°Do you know why it was changed to a wedding feast?¡± Su Yanyan stopped her with her hand, her face and tone filled with smugness, ¡°Because, I am already carrying Xing Yuyun¡¯s child.¡±
¡°What does it have to do with me who¡¯s child you¡¯re carrying?¡±
Su Wanwan had a casual attitude, which was extremely irritating in Su Yanyan¡¯s eyes.
¡°Su Wanwan, I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t be too cocky! You were dumped by Xing Yuyun and are nothing but a yed out shoe. You were engaged for two years, then Xing Yuyun dumped you, and Huo Jingshen picked you up. He has quite the spirit, actually marrying a woman his cousin has yed with. I wonder, does the elders of the Huo family know about this¡¡±
¡°p!¡± Su Wanwan pped her directly, ¡°Your mouth is so dirty, did you not brush after taking a dump?¡±
Su Yanyan was so angry she gritted her teeth, and wanted to fight back, but as soon as she lifted her hand, it was caught by Su Wanwan¡¯s wrist.
How could a delicate sheltered young woman ever beat a rougned up tomboy who saw fighting as a daily routine?
Su Yanyan was in so much pain she was tearful, and could only vent her anger with words, ¡°I¡¯ve checked it out, that Huo Jingshen is already thirty years old, he just sees you as a ything. As for getting married, even the Huo family didn¡¯t send anyone to propose. An old wealthy man raising a young girl as a pet, do you really think that he¡¯s marrying you because he likes you? You¡¯re going tough your teeth off.¡±
¡°Whether Huo Jingshen likes me or not is none of your business, but I can assure you that Xing Yuyun does not like you.¡± In the face of Su Yanyan¡¯s abrupt change of expression, Su Wanwan curled up her lips and continued to speak, ¡°Furthermore, don¡¯t think that Master Xing is backing you up, he reprimanded Xing Yuyun just because he can¡¯t lose face.
Don¡¯t ever think that by marrying Xing Yuyun, you can sit back and enjoy the glory and wealth.
That kind of trashy man who can¡¯t keep half of his body to himself can be on you, he can be on other women, too. When the dayes that the mistresses knocking at his door demanding responsibility, will Master Xing step in and take the responsibility like he did today?¡±
**
Just when Su Wanwan reached the first floor, she heard the sound of things being smashed upstairs.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yi, who was in the living room, stood up in surprise.
Under everyone¡¯s watchful gaze, Su Wanwan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s just a cockroach upstairs. Disgusting to the point of making you lose your appetite. Grandpa, I¡¯m not having dinner, I¡¯m going home.¡±
After leaving the Su family, Su Wanwan did not call a car and walked along the road to the outside of the neighborhood.
Perhaps because it was too quiet around her, unexpectedly, she thought of what Su Yanyan had just said.
An old rich man keeping a young girl as a pet for fun?
Her phone suddenly rang.
It was Su Wanwan who picked it up.
Damn, it was from Y Country.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Just as she was thinking about Huo Jingshen, Huo Jingshen called.
As her phone continued to ring, Su Wanwan could only answer, ¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Why did it take so long to answer?¡± The man¡¯s deep voice was especially attractive on the phone.
In Mo Weiyi¡¯s words, it sounded so good that it could get you pregnant.
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°I need a reason to call my wife?¡±
¡°Um¡¡± He really did not need a reason.
¡°Did my grandma call you?¡±
¡°She did.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Huo Jingshen said, ¡°I¡¯ll be back in Nancheng on Sunday.¡±
¡°I know.¡±
¡°Youe and pick me up.¡±
For some reason, Su Wanwan said, ¡°I don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license, it¡¯s inconvenient.¡±
The phone was quiet, then, ¡°Then I¡¯ll hang up first.¡±
With that said, the phone was quickly hung up.
Uh.
Su Wanwan was stunned, was this old man angry?
**
In the next few days, everything was calm.
Su Wanwan had enrolled in a driving school, spent the day there learning to drive, and at night, sheid back in the vi watching movies. asionally , she would go to the X district mansion to mooch a meal, or hang out with Mo Weiyi.
The Su family was busy arranging Su Yanyan¡¯s wedding, and no one came to bother her. Life was quite pleasant.
On Saturday night, she received a WeChat message from a friend in Los Angeles saying that her luggage would be forwarded to the country the next day, and she needed to go to the airport to pick it up..
Chapter 41 - 41: 041, a family of three
Chapter 41: a family of three
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan had to take time off from the driving school on Sunday because they had ss.
Coach Pan Hui agreed readily, but quickly followed up with a message: ¡°Going on a date with your boyfriend?¡±
Su Wanwan replied: ¡°No.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
The next day, she arrived at the airport quite early.
Unexpectedly, the flight was dyed, and she waited from morning till noon, until almost two in the afternoon when the flight from Los Angeles finallynded.
Su Wanwan quickly got up when she heard the broadcast, but something hit her from behind as she turned around.
¡°Hiss!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. Did I hurt you?¡± a gentle woman¡¯s voice said.
Sweat was about to break out on Su Wanwan¡¯s forehead from the pain.
She was wearing the same denim shorts she always wore, and most of her leg was exposed. She didn¡¯t need to look to know that her ankle had a scrape. But when she saw the owner of the voice¡
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t notice you standing up just now. I¡¯m so sorry.¡± The woman kept apologising. After finishing, she bent down to look at the injury. ¡°It seems a bit scrapped, and I am truly sorry. I¡¯m in a hurry, so how about giving me your card, and I¡¯ll reimburse all the medical expensester.¡±
A ssically beautiful woman, soft-spoken, and her eyes filled with sincere apologies, was entirely reminiscent of the romantic female protagonist in a love movie.
Even women would not be able to resist her charm, let alone men. Hence, Su Wanwan did not feel like ming her.
¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I¡¯m in a hurry, too.¡± She left immediately after speaking.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard thedy¡¯s voice, ¡°Jingshen!¡±
Su Wanwan did a double-take and indeed saw a familiar figure approaching.
In his usual white shirt and ck pants, Huo Jingshen looked tall and elegant, pushing a trolley. Despite several foreigners around, he was quite eye-catching in the crowd.
Su Wanwan felt bewildered.
She had been thinking about whether to send him a message to tell him about her being at the airport today. Not sending might seem pretentious considering they were married. But sending might appear deliberate because the flight from Los Angeles was due in the morning.
But she never imagined that they would meet this way: A beautiful woman was here to pick him up, and she, his wife, coincidentally bumped into them!
Cool.
In a few short seconds, Su Wanwan hade up with countless ways to greet him in her mind.
But as he suddenly looked over here, she chickened out and squatted down quickly.
**
On the other hand, Huo Jingshen furrowed his brows slightly.
Why did he feel like the figure seemed familiar¡
¡°Jingshen!¡±
Turning his gaze back, Huo Jingshen greeted the woman who was running towards them and said, ¡°Your mom is here.¡±
¡°She¡¯s not my mom.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
At his feet stood a five-year-old boy with arge ck backpack, wearing a red T-shirt and small jeans. His cute, stubborn little face was grimy and bruised. He looked like he had run away from home.
Xiu Xin ran over, squatted down and began to lecture: ¡°Ziyang, you scared me so much. How could you sneak onto the ne alone? You¡¯re only five years old, a child. It¡¯s dangerous to go out alone, do you understand?¡±
Fu Ziyang looked at her calmly but didn¡¯t say a word.
¡°Jingshen, I can¡¯t thank you enough. I almost had a heart attack when Xihan told me. Fortunately, you found him.¡± Xiu Xin sighed and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll take him back to the hotel now¡¡±
¡°I want to go home with Uncle Huo.¡± Fu Ziyang said, surprising both adults.
Xiu Xin immediately began lecturing again, ¡°Ziyang, you can¡¯t do this. Your father is already angry because you stowed away on the airne. You can¡¯t bother Uncle Huo. Children should be sensible¡¡±
¡°Uncle Huo, would I be a bother to you?¡± Fu Ziyang raised his little head to ask Huo Jingshen.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow at the question. Before he had a chance to respond, the little boy spoke again, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to the hotel alone.¡±
**
Hidden behind a chair, Su Wanwan peeked out and tried hard to listen to their conversation.
Not until the ¡°family of three¡± left the hall did she get up and remember she had left her luggage behind.
Then her phone rang.
Seeing ¡°Huo Jingshen¡± disyed on the screen, Su Wanwan pursed her lips and turned off the phone!
**
By the time she had collected her luggage, hailed a taxi, and returned to the Imperial Court, it was over seven in the evening.
It was dark outside and Su Wanwan, dragging her heavy suitcase, gazed at the brightly lit vi. She would be lying if she said she wasn¡¯t feeling a bit unsettled.
Taking a deep breath, she walked over and pushed open the front door.
And then she locked eyes with four beady eyes staring back at her.
On the living room floor sat arge German Shepherd and an adorable little boy.
Overwhelmed by surprise, Su Wanwan stood frozen, even forgetting to avoid her worst fear: the dog.
The only thought in her mind was: Damn it! Is there no justice in the world! This old man actually brought his bastard son home! And maybe even that
woman!
Chapter 42 - 42: 042, Fu Ziyang
Chapter 42: Fu Ziyang
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Woof¡woof!¡± KO barked, standing up from the floor.
Su Wanwan shivered subconsciously.
¡°KO.¡± Fu Ziyang reached out his small hand and touched KO¡¯s head.
In an instant, the wolf-like dog that was about to pounce went back to his docile state.
Su Wanwan suddenly felt defeated.
Damn it!
Even a dog listens to this bastard so obediently.
¡°Madam, are you back?¡± Aunt Liu walked out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup.
Su Wanwan felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
Damn!
Even Aunt Liu specially worked overtime to cook for this family of three. She used to return home to take care of her grandchild right after dinner at six o¡¯clock these past few days.
A series of footstepster, Huo Jingshen appeared in her resentful gaze.
He was still wearing the same outfit he wore at the airport, only his sleeves were rolled up, the top three buttons of his cor were unbuttoned. He immediately asked, ¡°Where did you go? Why didn¡¯t you answer your phone? It was even turned off?¡±
Su Wanwan stayed silent.
Huo Jingshen looked at his little wife whose face was puffing up with anger, took the suitcase from her, and then reached for her hand.
To his surprise, Su Wanwan forcefully withdrew her hand, and looked at the man with an unaffected face, bursting out two words: ¡°Absolutely shameless!¡±
Huo Jingshen:
Ziyang tilted his little head, holding the dog and watching the show.
¡°Tell me, where is that woman?¡± Su Wanwan said, rushing into the living room.
¡°You went to the airport.¡± Huo Jingshen confirmed.
The person she saw at the airport must¡¯ve been her.
¡°That¡¯s right, I saw her.¡± Su Wanwan turned around, pointing at the adorable little boy, ¡°Tell me, where is his mother? Where did you hide the mistress?¡±
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, ¡°¡He¡¯s not my son.¡±
Su Wanwan scoffed, ¡°Who do you think you¡¯re fooling? He looks so much like you! If he¡¯s not your son, is he your nephew or something?¡±
¡°Speaking without a heart, but the listener interprets with interest.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her, a fleeting emotion shed in his eyes, then he exined, ¡°His name is Fu Ziyang, the son of a friend of mine. He ran away from home and hopped on a ne alone today. Luckily, it was the day I was returning to China, so I brought him back with me.¡±
Su Wanwan was clearly not buying his bullshit.
Even Fu Ziyang¡¯s name reeked of a romantic male protagonist. This was clearly an attempt to make fun of her due to her young age.
¡°As for that woman, she¡¯s here in China for her world tour. She¡¯s staying in a hotel, not here.¡±
Su Wanwan scoffed a couple of more times, still not believing him.
Huo Jingshen simply took out his cell phone, ¡°This is his father¡¯s number. Do you want me to make an international call so you can ask him yourself?¡±
Seeing Su Wanwan still not reacting, he directly dialed the number.
Soon, a pleasant male bass voice echoed through the speaker, ¡°Has my son caused more trouble for you?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°No problem, it¡¯s just my wife had a misunderstanding.¡± After finishing, Huo Jingshen hung up.
He pushed the luggage to a corner of the living room and sat down by the coffee table, ¡°Come here.¡±
¡°What for?¡± Su Wanwan was on guard.
There was a first aid kit on the coffee table, and Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°Why is your leg bleeding?¡±
Su Wanwan looked down and indeed, arge clot of dry blood was on her ankle.
¡°Come here.¡± Huo Jingshen repeated hismand.
Su Wanwan frowned and reluctantly walked over.
Once close, Huo Jingshen reached out and lifted her leg, allowing her to sit next to him while cing her foot on hisp.
As soon as the alcohol touched her wound, Su Wanwan nearly exploded with tears of pain.
¡°Damn it, be gentle¡ Ah! It hurts, it hurts¡ Damn¡ Easy¡ Can¡¯t you be a little gentler?¡±
¡°Are you this afraid of pain?¡± Huo Jingshen gave her a nce.
The young girl¡¯s eyebrows knitted tightly together as she bit her lip hard. All this pain just from a scrape?
Huo Jingshen was slightly worried about the soundproofing of the room, especially now when there was an unexpected five-year-old third wheel.
Subconsciously, he looked at the boy and the dog, contemting whether he should send this little guy back to Y country on a flight tomorrow¡
As if they could read minds, Fu Ziyang suddenly spoke, his small mouth uttering word by word: ¡°I want to stay here and look for my mother.¡±
Huo Jingshen:
*
*
*
Finally having tended to the wound, Su Wanwan looked at the bandage on her ankle and pouted.
Can she still go to driving school tomorrow?
She had to take another leave¡
¡°Don¡¯t wear short pants like these again in the future.¡± Huo Jingshen had moreints.
Su Wanwan humphed, getting up to head to the dining room, ¡°I¡¯m starving, I need food.¡±
Huo Jingshen watched her.
His darken gaze.
These jeans really are too short!

Chapter 43: Double-faced
Trantor: 549690339 ,
The long dining table covered with a white tablecloth had already been filled with a variety of dishes.
Huo Jingshen, who doesn¡¯t talk much to begin with, didn¡¯t know what to say.
Even Fu Ziyang, who usually is a chatterbox, was also quiet for a change.
The little guy was incrediblyposed and his eating manners were very elegant. Even though it was just a simple home-cooked meal, he ate it with a feeling of enjoying a royal banquet, just like Huo Jingshen.
After he finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks. His bowl was clean, not a grain of rice was left. His manners were impable.
¡°Uncle Huo, I¡¯m full. I¡¯ll go do my homework now.¡±
¡°Mmm.¡±
When Fu Ziyang really started doing his homework, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Are you sure he is not your son?¡±
He really looked a lot like Huo Jingshen!
Even though children¡¯s faces are chubby and their features are beautiful but not fully developed, she still felt an uncanny simrity between the two.
Especially the calm, self-sufficient demeanor he put on at such a young age, even his taciturn nature was very much like Huo Jingshen¡¯s.
Huo Jingshen gave her a nonchnt look and said, ¡°I am not old enough to be
his father.¡±
What a shameless person!
A thirty-year-old man calling others old?
Su Wanwan pouted but only vented her anger inwardly.
After dinner, Huo Jingshen picked up his car keys, ¡®Til go get Ziyang some necessities.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t think too much about it and started ying games on her phone.
Not long after Huo Jingshen left, Aunt Liu also finished cleaning up and left.
Therge living room was suddenly very quiet.
Suddenly.
¡°Auntie Su.¡±
Su Wanwan raised her head and made eye contact with Fu Ziyang, ¡°Uh¡ are
you calling me?¡±
The little guy nodded and then asked, ¡°Auntie Su, do you like to chase after stars?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
A five-year-old child knows about chasing stars?
¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡±
Fu Ziyang seemed a bit disappointed with her answer, but then he quickly asked again, ¡°Then do you know who the prettiest female star is now?
Su Wanwan frowned.
Who is the prettiest female star in China?
Fan Bingbing?
Dilraba Dilmurat?
Gulnazar?
Yang Chaoyue?
¡°Why are you asking this?¡±
She thought this young boy was a bit strange. Isn¡¯t he too young to start having feelings for the opposite sex?
Fu Ziyang said, ¡°Dad says that mom is a female star. I am so handsome, so mom must be the prettiest female star. So I came to Nancheng to find her.¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless.
But looking at the little boy¡¯s earnest expression, she did not have the heart to dampen his enthusiasm for finding his mother. So she said, ¡°Well, your dad must be really handsome too then, right?¡±
¡°He¡¯S okay.¡± After saying that, Fu Ziyang¡¯s interest seemed to wane and he went back to doing his homework.
Not long after, Huo Jingshen came back. He ced the shopping bags on the coffee table, and automatically took out a lighter and a cigarette. Realizing there was a child in the house, he quickly went to the study room.
Meanwhile Fu Ziyang had finished his homework and packed his backpack conscientiously, ¡°Auntie Su, I¡¯m a bit sleepy, I want to go upstairs to shower and sleep.¡±
Su Wanwan, ¡°Alright.¡±
She took the shopping bag from the coffee table and helped him get the small slippers, small bath towel, children¡¯s shower gel¡
¡°Is this also for me?¡±
Fu Ziyang stared at her with innocent eyes, holding a red box¡
What the hell!
Su Wanwan felt her head explode. She quickly snatched the box and stashed it into her pocket, ¡°This is not for you!¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Fu Ziyang pursed his lips and thought to himself, the thing must be something that Uncle Huo bought for Auntie Su.
He grabbed his big backpack and a bunch of toiletries and went upstairs.
Su Wanwan sat there, cursing in her heart:
Pervert!
Such a shameless man!
Rushing back and buying that kind of stuff right away, utterly disgraceful!
The door to the study room opened with a creak and the disgraceful Huo Jingshen came out.
He had one hand in his suit pocket, a soft expression on his face, and his shirt was still spotless after a whole day. He looked mature, restrained, and politely poised.
Who would have thought that he was constantly thinking about doing such a thing?
Su Wanwan red at him, feeling that she had been too naive.
On the surface, he has a cold and serious face, but in reality, he is just a standing beast!
And of the worst kind, two-faced!
¡°Hmph!¡± She stood up abruptly and went upstairs.
¡°¡¡± Huo Jingshen frowned, not knowing why she was upset again.
Didn¡¯t he exin it all just now?
Having a young wife is indeed troublesome, one minute it¡¯s sunny weather, the next it¡¯s raining.
Looking at the time, it was already close to to in the evening, hmm, it was time to prepare for some ¡°business¡±.
He went over to pick up the shopping bag, but suddenly realized¡
Where was one box?
Chapter 44 - 44: 044, Mysterious Gift
Chapter 44: Mysterious Gift
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan had just reached the upstairs when she received a call from Mo Weiyi, asking if Huo Jingshen had returned to the country.
¡°He¡¯s back.¡±
¡°Really? Don¡¯t forget the mysterious wedding gift I gave you. Remember to unwrap it, you must unwrap it.¡±
Mo Weiyi said excitedly and then hung up the phone.
Su Wanwan had to rummage through her things to find the bag. When she opened it, she found a box inside?
Could it be a doll?
Su Wanwan took out the box and was about to unwrap it when she heard a man¡¯s footsteps from outside.
After a sudden panic attack, she hurriedly got up and ran to the bathroom.
So when Huo Jingshen entered the bedroom, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, and the bathroom door was tightly closed.
*
*
*
Washing her face, applying a face mask, taking a bath, taking a shower¡
Dawdling, intentionally dying time, until her door was finally knocked.
¡°Are you done bathing?¡±
It was Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice.
Maybe because she saw that box earlier, Su Wanwan felt like he was the big bad wolf persuading Little Red Riding Hood to open the door!
She closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and said, ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±
After all, they were already married, they were husband and wife, and sooner orter, they would have to face that issue!
There¡¯s a saying.
¡°When you¡¯re about to be ¡®that¡¯, if you can¡¯t resist, then go¡ enjoy it!¡±
After a series of psychological preparations and self-constion, Su Wanwan made her decision with a resigned air.
However, when she prepared to go out and ¡°valiantly make a sacrifice¡±, she realized¡
She had forgotten to bring her pajamas!
While she was still agonising, her door was knocked again.
This time, it wasn¡¯t just a knock or two, it was continuous, loud, and fast¡
Clearly, someone was getting impatient.
Su Wanwan was annoyed, and had no choice but to say, ¡°I forgot to bring my pajamas, can you bring them to me? They¡¯re in the closet.¡±
There was a silence from the outside, then the man¡¯s deep voice answered, ¡°Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan stood behind the door, waiting for the knock to sound again. She immediately opened a small crack in the door, stretched out her hand to grab the thing and quickly pulled it back, then she closed the door again.
Perfect!
However, when she finally saw what she was holding in her hands as ¡°pajamas¡±, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but twitch her mouth corners, and she almost broke down.
MMP (Curses in Chinese).
She asked him to fetch her pajamas, what on earth was this thing he brought?
What a stinky man!
What did he take her for?
Su Wanwan could no longer contain herself, she tossed the thing into the trash can, opened the door and charged out.
¡°Huo! Jing! Shen! You! Are! A! Bastard!¡±
When she got to him, the room was spinning and before she could react, she was lifted up.
Huo Jingshen looked down at his little wife, ¡°why didn¡¯t you change into your pajamas?¡±
¡°Go change yourself!¡±
¡°Are you shy?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his handsome eyebrows, ¡°Since you bought it yourself, why not wear it?¡±
¡°Who said I bought it?¡± Su Wanwan was fuming, ¡°It was clearly you¡ you¡¡±
¡°What about me?¡± Huo Jingshen said, already carrying her back.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Su Wanwan immediately became extremely nervous. She clenched her fists and eximed in fear and panic, ¡°I don¡¯t want to have a baby!¡±
Have a baby?
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows.
I get it.
So, he pulled open the drawer of the bedside cab, letting her see.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened in shock.
My god! What the hell is this?
Hadn¡¯t she just thrown that box of things into the trash earlier?
Why were there more?
¡°Good thing we have a telepathic bond, my darling. I have already prepared well in advance,¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s lips curved up in a smirk.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Telepathic bond my ass!
Help! Ahhhhhh!

The next day.
When Su Wanwan opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.
¡°Hiss!¡±
With a slight move, she saw stars and felt a fatal pain, as if her whole body was copsing¡
The room door suddenly opened and a certain culprit walked in from outside.
He had already washed and dressed in a neatly ironed white shirt and ck trousers, making him look refreshed and elegant.
Su Wanwany there staring at him like a seriously ill patient, her teeth itching with hatred.
Huo Jingshen, looking at his little wife who had wrapped herself like a dumpling, asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
His voice was so gentle and considerate.
What absolute hypocrisy!
He walked over, extended a finger, but before he could touch Su Wanwan¡¯s face, his hand was smacked away.
As a result of her vigorous action, she let out a muffled groan, propped herself up with her hand, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes from the pain.
¡°Is it that serious?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s brows furrowed instantly.
¡°How can it not be serious!¡± Su Wanwan almost roared, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡±
¡°¡I know.¡±
¡°If you know, why did you still treat me like that! Are you even human!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Does sorry help!¡±
The more Su Wanwan spoke, the more she felt like crying.
In her whole life, her twenty years, she had never felt so wronged!
Huo Jingshen watched her, his expression subtly changing for a moment.
After a while, he slowly began to speak, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know it was your first¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Huo Jingshen:
Was she really that shy?
Just then, Su Wanwan¡¯s small face suddenly turned red, then white. Unable to bear it anymore, she pouted her lips and let out a sob.
Huo Jingshen once again:
At that moment, Su Wanwan really regretted it.
What provocation?
What revenge?
What marriage?
What kind of man did she marry?
She felt she was a fool who had brought bad luck upon herself!
Just because she wanted to get revenge on those scumbags, she impulsively married a man she didn¡¯t know at all.
And now, she found out that appearances were deceiving! She¡¯d lost both the battle and the general!
Now she felt that her marital life was nothing but darkness, the future was uncertain, and she wanted a divorce¡
Huo Jingshen picked up a tissue from the side, trying to help her wipe her tears. But before he could touch her face, he was shoved away.
¡°Get away! I don¡¯t need your fake kindness!¡±
Huo Jingshen could only console her, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s my fault.¡±
He admitted, he was indeed a bit¡ reckless.
*
*
Huo Jingshen calmly returned to the ground floor alone.
Because there were children at home these past few days, Aunt Liu came to work two hours early to prepare breakfast.
Fu Ziyang looked behind him and asked in a childish voice, ¡°Uncle Huo, where¡¯s Auntie?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll eat first.¡±
¡°Is Auntie still in bed?¡± Fu Ziyang blinked his cute big eyes, ¡°Did she get too tired yesterday?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Huo Jingshen picked up his coffee without changing his expression, ¡°Let her rest properly.¡±
Aunt Liu at the side: ¡°cough, cough, cough.¡±
**
As a result of kicking Huo Jingshen out, Su Wanwan ended up hurting herself because she was too forceful. Now when she walked, she felt like she was disabled.
She limped into the bathroom and took a hot bath, feeling slightly better.
When she returned to the bedroom.
She looked at the woman in the mirror, her eyes swollen from crying, and thinking about what Huo Jingshen had said earlier, her heart ached and she nearly shed tears.
The tears she¡¯d shed from yesterday till now were more than what she¡¯d cried in the past 10 years!
The phone suddenly rang, Su Wanwan answered it grimly, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°How¡¯s it going, Baby Wanwan, how¡¯s the battle going haha¡¡± Mo Weiyi wasughing heartlessly on the other side of the call.
Su Wanwan sniffled, not wanting to talk at all.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking? Was it unsessful? Did your Mr. Huo not like the gift I gave? That¡¯s not possible, I specially chose pink, and it¡¯s all thetest trend.¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback, remembering the pajamas fromst night.
¡°Did you send that nightie?¡±
¡°Yes, don¡¯t all straight men have a thing for pink? Xiaobai really likes it when I wear pink clothes. Don¡¯t tell me Mr. Huo doesn¡¯t like it. Does he¡ like ck? Or white?¡±
Su Wanwan:
Chapter 46 - 46: 046, Encounter with Trash
Chapter 46: Encounter with Trash
Trantor: 549690339
¡°So, your husband Mr. Huo likes some spicy stuff, huh? Next time, I¡¯ll send him a maid outfit, the one with bare-ckce-suspender-stockings. You can role-y with him¡¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°I¡¯ve got something to do; I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
She had barely put down her phone when it rang again. It was Mrs. Huo, asking where she was.
It was already ten in the morning, but¡ she didn¡¯t say she wasing to the mansion today, did she?
¡°Grandma, I¡ I¡¯m a bit busy today¡¡±
The phone was suddenly snatched away.
Holding her phone, Huo Jingshen adopted a rather gentlemanly demeanor, speaking calmly, ¡°Grandma, we¡¯lle overter.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wanwan just got up. She might be a little grumpy.¡±
Su Wanwan closed her eyes.
Then red fiercely at him.
After hanging up, Huo Jingshen saw his little wife ring at him full of hatred.
¡°I¡¯m grumpy?¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
¡°Is it me who¡¯s grumpy, or are you causing all the trouble without any clue?¡±
Huo Jingshen once again:
¡°Go yourself! I¡¯m not going!¡±
¡°Be good.¡± Huo Jingshen felt as if he was coaxing a child, ¡°I haven¡¯t been back for a week. Grandma also has something to tell you.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond. She got up, staggered towards the sofa, copsed onto it, and began ying a game on her mobile phone.
There had been so many things happening recently, she hadn¡¯t had time to y ranked matches in her game, and had automatically lost a few stars¡
Huo Jingshen rubbed his forehead and, after a few seconds, turned to leave.
**
As soon as she finished ying a match, Mrs. Huo¡¯s call came in again.
¡°Wanwan, Ashen told me that you¡¯re not feeling well and didn¡¯t want toe over for dinner. Tell Grandma the truth, what¡¯s wrong, is it because that boy upset you?¡±
This shameless liar¡
How was she supposed to exin this?
Su Wanwan cursed him silently once again.
¡°Ashen is like that, cold, doesn¡¯t talk much, is often inconsiderate. Please bear with him.¡± Mrs. Huo grumbled about her grandson for a while, then started coaxing Su Wanwan, ¡°It¡¯s so hot now, is it too much for you to be learning to drive every day? I just asked Wen Xiu to make some mung bean soup for heat relief, you and Ashen shoulde over quickly. I¡¯ll have Wen Xiu make a few dishes you like, and cut up your favorite fruits¡¡±
It was difficult to refuse the elderly woman¡¯s enthusiasm. Su Wanwan had no choice but to agree.
So, half an hourter, she was reluctantly sitting in the car.
As soon as she left the vi, Su Wanwan suddenly remembered the little one at home. ¡°Where¡¯s the kid? Is he not going back with us?¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°Xiu Xin will pick him upter.¡±
¡°Who is Xiu Xin?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, ¡°His stepmother.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡±
A stepmother?
**
Huo Jingshen drove to the 998 Art Park near the mansion and said his grandmother had asked him to pick up a framed painting on his way.
Once he had parked, Su Wanwan immediately turned her little head towards the window, ¡°You go.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
He nced at the time and ultimately relented, ¡°Don¡¯t run around, just wait patiently in the car.¡±
Wait, my foot!
Su Wanwan ignored him.
Once he had stepped out of the car, she immediately slipped out of the door.
The Art Park didn¡¯t really have anything worth checking out, and as it was daytime, many stores were not yet open. Su Wanwan had a look around and decided it was too hot, the sun was too harsh, and it was better to sit in the car and listen to music.
Out of the blue, someone bumped into her from behind.
¡°Ah!¡±
A scream and the sound of shattered ss were heard simultaneously.
Su Wanwan also broke out in a cold sweat from the pain because her injured ankle¡ seemed to have been hit by something.
¡°Are you blind? Can¡¯t you walk with your eyes open?¡± A familiar and aggressive female voice filled the air.
Su Wanwan turned around and had a look.
Of course.
It was Xing Siqing.
The sister of Xing Yuyun.
However, they hadn¡¯t seen each other for two years, and clearly, Xing Siqing didn¡¯t remember her anymore.
¡°Do you know how much this cost? You broke it!¡± Xing Siqing¡¯s face was full of annoyance.
Her carefully chosen gift for her grandfather was now shattered!
¡°How much?¡± Su Wanwan asked.
Hearing this, Xing Siqingughed with a snort; her tone was exaggerated, ¡°Can you afford to pay for it? I wouldn¡¯t want to scare you to death by telling you the price!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly.
The Xing Family¡¯s daughter still hadn¡¯t changed at all; she was just as arrogant as she had been two years ago.
¡°I¡¯ve seen plenty of women like you. Everyone knows that only wealthy and tasteful men frequent 998. Aren¡¯t you just trying to snag a rich man? Do you think you¡¯re too beautiful?¡± Xing Siqing looked Su Wanwan up and down,ughing sarcastically again, ¡°Your whole outfit is barely worth the price of one painting here. Why don¡¯t you take a good look at yourself? With your status, do you think you can hook up with a tycoon? Do you know what kind of women these men like? It¡¯sughable¡¡±
Su Wanwan alsoughed, ¡°I might not know, but I do know that you¡¯ve been with quite a few men. Isn¡¯t it so that they also frequent here? Is that why you miraculously ran into me here? By the sounds of it, you and I aren¡¯t so different after all.¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s face changed, ¡°You slut, what are you talking about? Who¡¯s like you! You¡¯re so self-unaware¡¡±
¡°Siqing.¡±
A familiar male voice sounded from behind.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes twitched, while Xing Siqing began yelling, ¡°Brother, brother,e here!¡±
What bad luck to meet here!
Taking advantage of Xing Siqing¡¯s panic, Su Wanwan bolted as soon as the girl had her guard down..

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Don¡¯t run! Stand still for me¡¡±
Xing Siqing wanted to chase her, but she couldn¡¯t because she was wearing seven-centimeter-thin high heels. She fell behind after a few steps.
Fortunately, a familiar figure appeared, and she shouted in a hurry, ¡°Brother, help me catch her!¡±
Su Wanwan ran into a familiar embrace, her wrist was grabbed, and Huo Jingshen¡¯s impatient voice rang out, ¡°Why are you running around?¡±
¡°Hisss??? ¡±
Su Wanwan grimaced in pain, her body was already aching, running had obviously made it worse¡
Huo Jingshen immediately frowned, but before he could speak, Xing Siqing had already caught up.
¡°Brother, this woman just broke my jade piece and doesn¡¯t want to pay for it, I want to take her to the police station!¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his voice as cold as his gaze, ¡°Take who to the police station?¡±
¡°Her!¡± Xing Siqing used breathlessly, ¡°Look at her, dressed in cheap street clothes, thinking she can seduce men with her foxy face. How delusional¡ Brother?¡±
Xing Yuyun came up and tried to pull her away, but got pushed away instead. ¡°Why are you pulling me, brother?¡±
¡°Come back with me.¡± Xing Yuyun was in a bad mood due to the forced marriage issue, his tone was also very impatient.
¡°Why should I?¡± Xing Siqing didn¡¯t understand, ¡°She broke the jade piece I bought for my grandfather, I haven¡¯t settled ounts with her yet¡¡±
¡°She is Su Wanwan.¡± Xing Yuyun blurted out.
Xing Siqing¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.
Su Wanwan?
Impossible!
She turned around and gave Wanwan a thorough look from head to foot, not daring to believe it.
Didn¡¯t Su Wanwan have dyed short hair, wear skull and bones t-shirts, and love heavy, dark makeup?
How did she suddenly be a different person? No wonder she didn¡¯t recognize her at first¡
¡°I see now.¡± Xing Siqing suddenly realized, ¡°Well, well, Su Wanwan, are you trying to find a new target after my brother dumped you? But you¡¯re just an illegitimate child, always wanting a frog to eat swan meat. You think changing your outfit will make people forget about your shameful deeds? You were hanging out with men and staying out all night since middle school, your reputation stinks. If anyone marries you, they¡¯re cursed for eight lifetimes¡¡±
¡°Xing Siqing you shut your mouth!¡±
Xing Yuyun couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and sharply interrupted Xing Siqing¡¯s words.
He knew that his sister was close to Su Yanyan, but he didn¡¯t expect her to believe the things Su Yanyan said and said them all in front of Huo Jingshen¡
He looked at Su Wanwan, expecting that such an insulting conversation would provoke her, yet¡
She was actuallyughing.
Indeed, Su Wanwan wasughing. From the moment Huo Jingshen appeared and grabbed her hand without letting go, but Xing Siqing was too angry to notice and kept verbally attacking her.
She was truly as stupid as a pig!
She didn¡¯t care if she were scolded, it wouldn¡¯t affect her, she had been hearing these outrageous insults for years. If she were to run around exining each one of them, she wouldn¡¯t have time for anything else¡ However¡
You had to ¡°be mindful of a dog¡¯s master¡±, and now that she was married to Huo Jingshen, Xing Siqing had said that ¡°Whoever marries her is cursed for eight lifetimes¡±¡
Tsk, tsk, interesting!
Unable to hold back, Su Wanwan looked up at Huo Jingshen, whose face remained calm as if he was not affected, but she knew for sure he was not pleased.
So, in the middle of Xing Siqing¡¯s shocking gaze, Su Wanwan embraced Huo Jingshen¡¯s arm, moved closer to him, lifted her face and coquettishly said, ¡°Husband, she says that you marrying me is being cursed for eight lifetimes.¡±
The word ¡°husband¡± was deliberately prolonged with her voice full of coquetry, which was extremely enticing.
Huo Jingshen looked down at her.
The little girl was voluntarily leaning on him, her eyes curved into smiles, stunningly beautiful, with a hint of cunning and arge amount of triumph in them, just like a seductive little fox. Where was her previous indifferent demeanor?
As he looked up again, his dark eyes narrowed sternly, ¡°Siqing, how old are you this year?¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s face was pale and she was rendered speechless.
In reality, her eyes were fixed on the two people in front of her who behaved intimately. Due to Su Wanwan¡¯s words ¡°husband,¡± her brain was still in a state of shock.
¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you¡¯re twenty-two this year.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s face was calm, his voice just as serene, yet it brought an invisible pressure to the listener.
He continued, ¡°After the age of eighteen, one can assume full legal responsibility.¡±
Xing Yuyun¡¯s heart was pounding, ¡°Brother, Siqing didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡.¡±
Chapter 48 - 48: 048, seek a lawyer.
Chapter 48: seek awyer.
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Article 24.6 of the ¡®Criminal Code¡¯ stiptes that deliberately fabricating and spreading false facts, defaming others¡¯ personalities, ruining others¡¯ reputations, openly insulting and ndering others, amounts to malicious nder. If the circumstances are severe, it constitutes a crime of defamation and a criminalwsuit can be initiated.¡±
Huo Jingshen spoke word by word, with Su Wanwan listening in a daze.
Was he spouting nonsense?
How could he remember legal regtions that clearly?
But evidently, the two were rmed, especially Xing Siqing whose face turned white with fear. Xing Yuyun, though rtively calm, was somewhat flustered.
He quickly exined, ¡°Brother, my sister just came back to the country yesterday. She didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re already legally married to Wanwan. And our family has been busy nning my wedding, so no one told her¡¡±
¡°You mean, if Wanwan weren¡¯t my wife, she could be defamed at will?¡±
Huo Jingshen held his tongue, and Xing Yuyun felt like he had fallen into another trap.
¡°No, I didn¡¯t mean it like that¡¡±
Huo Jingshen interrupted, ¡°I am taking my wife to the hospital. You can discuss it with mywyerter.¡±
¡°Brother, how can you do this to me?¡± Xing Siqing finally regains her senses.
Though she and Huo Jingshen weren¡¯t close, he was indeed the eldest grandson of the Huo family and she was a granddaughter¡ªtheir rtionship was of cousins. He was actually going to sue her because of a few words?
Xing Siqing is both angry and hurt. Seeing Huo Jingshen, it didn¡¯t seem like he was joking¡
She¡¯s been pampered since childhood, because of the family background, everyone treats her with respect. Even the old man Huo wouldn¡¯t chastise her too much. She had never encountered someone as stern and indifferent as Huo Jingshen.
She was panicky and could only clutch Xing Yuyun¡¯s arm, seeking protection. ¡°Brother, you have to help me out.¡±
Xing Yuyun felt a headache.
Ever since he bumped into Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan at the hospital, he felt that this brother simply didn¡¯t care about familial rtionships and reputation, besides¡Siyqing was indeed in the wrong.
¡°Brother,¡± Xing Siqing kept urging, really afraid of being sued.
Just then, Su Wanwan¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, ¡°Forget it, she¡¯s your cousin. We¡¯re all family, it isn¡¯t appropriate to make a scene by going to the police.¡±
Xing Yuyun was surprised, and so was Xing Siqing. The next second¡
¡°However, I counted the number of times you insulted me¡ª38 times. So how about this, if you say sorry to me 38 times, I might consider forgiving you. What do you think?¡± Su Wanwan casually spouted a number, like Huo Jingshen did. Looking at Xing Siqing¡¯s scared face, it felt quite satisfying.
She curved her lips, and her smile was radiant. She felt so happy.
But in Xing Siqing¡¯s view, it seemed more like a disy of power, intimidating and pushing her around.
38 times of saying sorry?
Was she subtly implying that she was a bitch!?
It felt like she had been pped in public, Xing Siqing¡¯s face turned red with anger, but she dared not have an outburst. She felt like she was going to burst out of anger.
¡°Don¡¯t want to?¡± Su Wanwan came up with another idea, ¡°Indeed, having you to say it 38 times in one go might be too much. So, you say it once a day. If you¡¯re in a good mood, you can say it a few more times. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can get it over with.¡±
After saying that, she looked at Huo Jingshen, continuing to y tough with a cutesy voice, ¡°Honey, do you think that¡¯s okay?¡±
Huo Jingshen was looking at her too, with a hint ofughter in his eyes. Even his thin lips curled up into a light smile.
Then, he bent his head, his delicate lips were almost against her ear, he said, ¡°How many times a day, it¡¯s all up to you.¡±
There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with his words. But coupled with his intentionally lowered voice and suggestive gaze, it feels as if he was referring to something else¡
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she quickly avoided his gaze.
This shameless old man! She wouldn¡¯t have bothered saying ¡°husband¡± if it wasn¡¯t to frustrate Xing Siqing. But she had given him the opportunity to take advantage!
¡°Siyqing.¡± Xing Yuyun just wanted to finish this quickly, ¡°You were indeed wrong about this. Say sorry to Wanwan¡±.
How could Xing Siqing agree to that?
What makes it worse is that someone with illicite reputation such as Su Wanwan, had always been the person she looked down upon!
She opened her mouth resentfully, ¡°Brother, everything I said is true. I didn¡¯t nder her. If you don¡¯t believe, you can ask Uncle Su.¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow in amusement, ¡°Are you suggesting that I have poor judgment and got cheated by a young girl?¡±
Xing Siqing froze,
She didn¡¯t mean it that way!
¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t mean¡¡±
¡°Your sister-inw already pointed out two options for you. If you don¡¯t appreciate it, then you should hurry up and get a reliablewyer for the Xing family.¡± Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t want to waste any more time, it was almost noon, and the olddy would be calling soon.
Without waiting for Xing Siqing¡¯s reaction, Huo Jingshen had already left with Su Wanwan.
**
As soon as they turned the corner, Su Wanwan immediately loosened her grip. Her little face quickly returned to its cold elegance. ¡°Bastard!¡±
¡°What?¡± Huo Jingshen leaned over, ¡°What did my dear baby just say?¡±
Su Wanwan was startled by the word ¡°baby¡±.
Seeing her with that defensive look on her face, Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, his dark eyes filled withughter.
¡°Shameless!¡± Su Wanwan cursed again, not wanting to look at him any longer, and limped quickly ahead.
But before she could take a few steps, a strong handnded on her waist and lifted her in mid-air¡ªHuo Jingshen had picked her up princess-style!
¡°What are you doing?¡± Su Wanwany in his arms, her beautiful eyes wide open and her face getting hotter and hotter.
They were very close, his mature masculine scent and a light smell of cigarettes wafting into her nose.. People around were starting to notice¡

¡°Why are you blushing?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her, the contours of his double eyelids seemed very profound due to his downcast gaze.
She hadn¡¯t dressed up much when she stormed out in the morning, in a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts. Now, he could clearly see the faint traces on her neck.
Huo Jingshen frowned, feeling a softness in his heart, his voice suddenly bing gentle, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, I was too rough.¡±
Su Wanwan remained silent.
But she felt slightly morefortable in her heart.
Following this, he said-
¡°I¡¯ll be gentler next time.¡±
Damn it!
Su Wanwan was so angry she felt like exploding. She blurted out, ¡°Touch me again, and I¡¯ll divorce you!¡±
Hearing this, Huo Jingshen surprisingly didn¡¯t get angry.
He carried her away until they got back in the car, only then he slowly said, ¡°Once I, Huo Jingshen, get married, I never n to divorce.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±

Half an hourter, the Bentley Mu Shang arrived at Nangong Hospital.
On the way, Huo Jingshen personally helped Su Wanwan get out of the car, go upstairs, register, wait for the doctor, and treat the wound.
After the wound was re-bandaged, he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m going upstairs for a bit, you wait for me here, don¡¯t run around.¡±
Su Wanwan gave him a sideways nce.
How could she run around in her condition?
Was she seeking death?
After he left, Su Wanwan limped to the corridor, found a seat and began to y with her phone.
However, she was quickly interrupted by an unexpected visitor.
¡°Sister-inw?¡±
¡°Sister-inw?¡±
¡°Sister-inw!¡±
Su Wanwan looked up and saw Nangong Ci in a white doctor¡¯s robe standing in front of her.
His alluring peach blossom eyes wandered about, his voice was unbearably obnoxious, ¡°Oh, what happened? How did you get hurt?¡±
¡°Hmm,¡± Su Wanwan was toozy to interact with him, she responded indifferently and continued to y with her phone.
¡°Tsk, how did this happen? Big brother really doesn¡¯t know how to cherish a beauty¡¡±
Though others might not notice, as a doctor, Nangong Ci was good at observing.
From a distance, he noticed Su Wanwan¡¯s weird walking posture. Looking closer, he saw something on her neck, he guessed that a certain old man had finally returned and was rough with her. She even got injured, he thought amused.
Nangong Ci took out his phone and quickly clicked a photo of her legs.
Startled, Su Wanwan looked up, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Nothing, hehehe.¡±
Nangong Ci grinned obscenely. Su Wanwan felt ufortable. Even though he was in a doctor¡¯s robe, she thought he didn¡¯t seem to be an upright man. Could he be some leg fetishist?
Subconsciously, Su Wanwan pulled her legs back, which in Nangong Ci¡¯s eyes was an attempt to conceal.
¡°Where¡¯s big brother?¡± he asked.
Su Wanwan eyed him warily, ¡°What¡¯s it to you?¡±
Nangong Ci suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously, ¡°No need to say, I already know. I¡¯m going upstairs to find him.¡±
After that, he almost skipped away.
Su Wanwan was left dumbfounded.
What kind of doctor is this¡
So immature!

Nangong Ci entered the elevator and directly pressed the 8th floor.
Gynaecology.
Sure enough, as soon as he exited the elevator, he saw Huo Jingshening out of an office.
¡°Oh, big brother, how fortuitous. I just came here for ward rounds,¡± Nangong Ci shamelessly excused himself.
A cardiologist doing ward rounds in gynaecology?
Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t be bothered and directly pressed the elevator.
¡°Goodbye, big brother, take care!¡± Nangong Ci waved cheerfully. Once the elevator door closed, he quickly turned and entered the office.
¡°Hey, Little Fairy, quickly tell me, what was that gentleman consulting just now?¡±
The female doctor looked at the vice-president¡¯s gossipy expression, ¡°Uh¡¡±
Is it good for the vice-president to be this gossipy?

At the Huo mansion.
On the first floor, the door to the study opened, and Mr Huo led the way out with his walking stick, followed by Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu.
In the living room, Xing Yuyun and Xing Siqing, who had been sitting, immediately stood up and called out, ¡°Grandfather.¡±
Mr Huo responded, ¡°The matter of postponing the wedding, I will discuss it with Ashenter.¡±
¡°Old man, what do you mean?¡± Mrs Huo asked.
¡°I have mentioned this matter before, and Ashen agreed. Now, the Su and Xing families are nning to hold weddings, it¡¯s better to separate the celebrations.¡±
Mrs Huo frowned, then she looked at Huo Qinyu, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it was going to be an engagement? Why are you in a hurry to change it to a wedding?¡±
She was nning to hold Ashen¡¯s wedding ceremony first, the auspicious date was already selected.
Huo Qinyu chuckled, ¡°Mom, I didn¡¯t want to announce this matter initially, as the pregnancy is not yet full term.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Dad and you, are going to be great-grandparents soon!¡±
Upon hearing this news, Mrs Huo was naturally very happy, but soon she was puzzled, ¡°Isn¡¯t Su Yanyan only eighteen?¡±
Xing Yuyun didn¡¯t say anything.
Huo Qinyu sighed, ¡°There is no way, since Yanyan is pregnant, she must stay here. Our Xing family can certainly afford to raise the child. Besides, Yuyun is already 25, and the two children are in love. After discussions between the two families, we decided to conduct the wedding directly¡¡±
At that moment, sounds were heard from the entrance.
¡°Young master, young madam.¡±
Mrs Huo immediately stood up, ¡°Wanwan is here.¡±
At the side, Xing Siqing¡¯s face suddenly changed.
Why did that bitche too?

Chapter 50: teaching a lesson to the little bitches
Trantor: 549690339
¡°What happened to Wanwan¡¯s leg?¡± Grandma Huo was startled.
Su Wanwan was carried into the room by Huo Jingshen, she had expected that because it was a workday and it was lunchtime, only the two elders would be at home, but¡
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she felt as if she was deliberately pretending to be weak and unting her love.
This was so fucking embarrassing!
She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Compared to her blushing and embarrassed state, Huo Jingshen appeared calm. He put Su Wanwan on the sofa and when he stood up, his gaze indifferent as it swept over Xing Siqing.
Xing Siqing was staring furiously at Su Wanwan at that moment.
She thought Su Wanwan was just a green tea bitch who was two-faced, but men were infatuated with this kind of woman.
She felt like vomiting when she thought of how she was throwing her weight around at ¡°998¡± because she had her brother¡¯s support¡ being arrogant and overbearing.
Now she was deliberately pretending to be weak and getting her brother to carry her, what a drama queen!
So when Huo Jingshen looked over, Xing Siqing couldn¡¯t hide her expression in time¡ and when that gaze moved away, she was already dripping with cold sweat.
This big brother of hers was terrifying. He seemed calm, and even gentle, but after the incident at ¡°998¡±, she knew these were just appearances.
¡°We bumped into Siqing on the way here, and she knocked into her.¡± When Huo Jingshen spoke, Xing Siqing¡¯s thoughts were confirmed and her face turned pale, ¡°Big brother, you, what do you mean by that? I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Huo Qinyu asked her daughter.
¡°Mom, it¡¯s not me, she ran into me.¡±
¡°Wanwan ran into you?¡± Grandma Huo expressed doubt, ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you injured at all?¡±
It was Su Wanwan who had a bandage on her leg.
¡°She already had a leg injury.¡±
¡°If she was already injured, why did you collide with her?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Xing Siqing felt herself being cornered and quickly tried to exin, ¡°She suddenly turned around, and the jade carvings I had custom made for¡grandfather¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s what happened.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke calmly, ¡°Siqing didn¡¯t know Wanwan was her sister-inw, so she was disrespectful, causing some dispute.¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s words were light as a feather, as if he was just exining, but clearly, he was setting her up.
As expected, Old Master Huo frowned, ¡°Siqing, what did you say to your sister-inw?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Siqing.¡± Huo Qinyu interrupted directly, ¡°Apologize to Wanwan.¡±
¡°¡Mom?¡± Xing Siqing looked at her incredulously.
¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what I said? Apologize to your sister-inw!¡± Huo Qinyu emphasized again.
Xing Siqing felt unjustified, how could she apologize, as a result, the atmosphere in the living room turned a bit stiff for a moment.
Until the old Master Huo suddenly banged his cane.
¡°Siqing!¡± Huo Qinyu had an unprecedented stern expression on her face.
Xing Siqing gritted her teeth and finally reluctantly spat out three words: ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked, and replied: ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°Wanwan is your sister-inw, you are not allowed to disrespect her in the future, do you understand?¡± Huo Qinyu continued to scold.
Xing Siqing didn¡¯t say anything.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with this child¡¡±
¡°Mom.¡± Xing Yuyun finally spoke, ¡°Siqing knows she was wrong, and she won¡¯t do it again in the future. I hope big brother can be magnanimous and not hold it against her.¡±
Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids and nced at him indifferently, ¡°Yuyun is more sensible.¡±
Xing Yuyun:¡±¡¡±
Being told to be sensible by a brother five years older than him, what else could he do besides listening?
¡°Wanwan.¡± Grandma Huo sat next to Su Wanwan, ¡°What did the doctor say? Is it serious?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing serious, Grandma¡¡±
¡°She probably won¡¯t be able to walk for a few days.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke casually.
The gynecologist did say so.
¡°That serious!¡± Grandma Huo was somewhat frightened, she scolded her granddaughter, ¡°Siqing, you can¡¯t be so careless in the future. Look at your shoe heels, they¡¯re too high and pointed. It¡¯s too dangerous. Don¡¯t wear such ugly shoes again in the future, do you hear me?¡±
Xing Siqing was so angry she felt like vomiting blood.
This damn bitch, she was just kicked a little, but she was deliberately ying the victim here, and she couldn¡¯t walk for several days¡ This was definitely on purpose!
*
*
Everyone was deep in thoughts during lunch.
The old master¡¯s aura was strong, and he always followed the principle of ¡°no speaking while eating¡±. Other than Grandma Huo who kept serving food to Su Wanwan, no one else dared to speak much.
When they returned to the living room, Huo Qinyu spoke with a smile, ¡°Dad, there¡¯s still one thing that I want to talk about.¡±
Master Huo picked up his teacup and blew gently, ¡°What else?¡±
¡°Siqing will receive her graduation certificate in July, and she ns to report to Huo Yuan Real Estate in a few days.¡±
The old master nodded, ¡°Ashen, you are responsible for arranging this.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Huo Jingshen agreed very readily.
Even Xing Siqing was somewhat surprised.
Then,
¡°Yuyun, you take Siqing to the sales department to report.¡±
¡°Why the sales department?¡± Xing Siqing raised her voice suddenly.
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen smirked slightly, ¡°Which department would you like to go to?¡±
Xing Siqing clenched her fingers, braved the pressure and said, ¡°I studied design, so of course I would go to the design department.¡±
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, ¡°Do you know what project Huo Yuan Real Estate is currently working on?¡±
Xing Siqing was dumbfounded.
What project?
She¡
Couldn¡¯t answer.
¡°Do you know who our current partners are?¡± Huo Jingshen asked again.
Xing Siqing again:¡±¡¡±
¡°Two days ago, Huo Yuan Real Estate had a bidding meeting for amercial decoration project. Do you know whichpany won the bid?¡±
The room was silent.
Xing Siqing¡¯s face had turned beet red.
When her daughter couldn¡¯t answer any of the questions, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu felt as if they were being pped, it was utterly embarrassing.
¡°You don¡¯t know anything.. What am I supposed to do with a designer like you?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows a bit, his tone was mild but very harsh, ¡°Be a vase?¡±

¡°Big brother, you, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Xing Siqing¡¯s voice was choked with emotion, her eyes reddening as the hint of a sob emerged from her words.
Huo Qinyu also looked unhappy, ¡°Ashen, Siqing just graduated and has no working experience in this field, she¡¯s only twenty-two¡¡±
¡°When I was twenty-two, Yunda had already listed on the London Stock Exchange.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke with his usual indifference, but every word struck deep.
Xing Yuyun couldn¡¯t help but frown.
Twenty-two¡
He was still studying for his master¡¯s degree abroad at that age.
A sudden ring from the cellphone interrupted, Huo Jingshen rose, his eyes stern and cold, ¡°Huo Yuan isn¡¯t a charity or stray animal shelter. If you want to get in, you must start from the bottom. If you can¡¯t bear this tiny test, you can stay at home and livefortably like Zhexi.¡±
With that, he went to the balcony to answer the phone.
Su Wanwan was left bbergasted.
Her husband, was indeed¡ so acerbic!
He didn¡¯t hold back at all!
Suddenly, it seemed he was quite polite to her, heh.
As for Huo Zhexi, who was drinking at a club, he unexpectedly sneezed more than a dozen times in a row.
Which son of a bitch was talking behind his back?
*
*
As the balcony door closed, Xing Siqing burst into tears and dashed out the door.
Huo Qinyu quickly rose, ¡°Dad, Mom, we¡¯ll head back first.¡±
¡°Go.¡± Old Madame Huo didn¡¯t stop them.
As for Old Master Huo, he continued sipping his tea leisurely.
*
*
Huo Qinyu chased after her all the way outside, ¡°Siqing, Siqing, stop!¡±
Xing Siqing halted, her eyes already red and swollen from crying.
¡°How can you be so rude? How have I taught you, just running out like that in front of the elders?¡±
Xing Siqing felt even more wronged, ¡°Mom, it was clearly big brother¡ He was so over the line, why did he publicly humiliate me like that?¡±
Huo Qinyu didn¡¯t expect Huo Jingshen to be so ruthless.
No matter what, Siqing was his cousin.
¡°It¡¯s all Su Wanwan¡¯s fault, she must have been bad-mouthing me!¡± Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, ¡°I have no idea what my big brother is thinking, bringing such a woman home, and not even bothered about the disgrace she brings!
He¡¯s just like uncle, he likes all the pretty ones, doesn¡¯t care where they¡¯re from¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you dare say things like that again!¡± Huo Qinyu cut her off sharply.
¡°Did I say something wrong?¡± Xing Siqing retorted, ¡°Su Wanwan is only an illegitimate daughter, the child of Uncle Su¡¯s mistress, previously just a low-ss girl! Does grandma senile, does she not care she was engaged with my brother?¡±
¡°Ashen is already legally married to her.¡± Huo Qinyu sighed, ¡°You must show respect to your grandfather, you can¡¯t disrespect her in any way, you will have to call her sister-inw¡¡±
¡°Me call her sister-inw? No way!¡±
¡°Siqing¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m definitely not calling her my sister-inw!¡± Xing Siqing wiped away her tears fiercely.
Did she think she¡¯d be a phoenix just because she climbed up a big tree?
Xing Siqing knew too much about Su Wanwan, could a woman who mixed with all types of men in the bars at the tender age of sixteen have anything good about her?
It¡¯s hard to change one¡¯s fundamental nature, she may fool them now, but for a lifetime?
One day her true colors will show and she will grasp it!
¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to work at the sales department, help me plead with grandpa,¡± Xing Siqing added.
She was, after all, a granddaughter of the Huo family, her major was in architectural design. If she was seen working at the sales department by her friends and ssmates¡
She couldn¡¯t bear the shame!
Huo Qinyu¡¯s eyebrows knitted together.
Ever since the old man was diagnosed with his condition and decided to semi-retire in their old mansion, transferring thepany¡¯s responsibilities to Huo Jingshen, especially the real estate section, Huo Jingshen has been fully in charge, having the final say, as the old man¡¯s attitude clearly proved earlier.
¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Huo Qinyu could only say she would try.

On the balcony, as soon as he answered his phone, Chu Xiuhuang demanded, ¡°Why the hell aren¡¯t you checking the group chat?¡±
¡°What group?¡±
¡°What do you mean what group?¡± Chu Xiuhuang hurried, ¡°Quick, I found a bunch of good stuff for you. Don¡¯t fucking say I don¡¯t have your back.¡±
Huo Jingshen wasn¡¯t ustomed to checking group chats, he only started using WeChat after he returned to China, because it was too noisy, he muted all the group chats.
He hung up, took out a cigarette and fired it up, then opened the chat group named ¡°WJY¡±.
There was over a hundred new messages.
At the very top was a picture from Nangong Ci: Su Wanwan sitting on the chair, the gauze on her leg drew the eye.
Then after.
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Isn¡¯t that girl too weak?¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°It¡¯s obviously because big brother is too wild!¡±
Lu Chenyu:
Ming Jing: ¡°Third brother, how do you know everything?¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°I asked, the gynecologist said that sister-inw can¡¯t even walk, advised big bother to control himself and be more gentle.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Puhahaha.¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡±
Lu Chenyu:¡±¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°It¡¯s mating season for the animals! The thousand-year-old Wrought Iron Tree has finally bloomed! It¡¯s necessary to take out my years of collection for him.¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°Western ones are fine too, Mingzi remember to bring back some good discs for big brother as gifts.¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°Cough, cough, I don¡¯t involve myself with those kinds of things.¡±
Lu Chenyu:¡±¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Lu, try sending me dots again!¡±
Lu Chenyu:
Suddenly, the message at the top of the WeChat group showed, ¡°Huo Jingshen has left the group chat..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s call immediately came sting through again, ¡°Why the hell did you leave the group?¡±
Huo Jingshen said, ¡°I¡¯m married.¡±
¡°So?¡± Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t understand.
What the hell does being married have to do with leaving the group?
¡°You should rename it to Four Bros.¡± After saying that, Huo Jingshen arrogantly hung up the phone.
In the WJY chat, which stands for Five Bros WeChat group, Nangong Ci was still asking, ¡°Oh no, will big brother be angry with us?¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°To be precise, he is angry with you and second brother for doubting his skills. Tsk, tsk, tsk.¡±
Lu Chenyu: ¡°Heh.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Damn, this reserved bastard. I assure you, he definitely finished watching the video I just sent.¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°Should I still buy it?¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°Buy it! And pick up a few for me too.¡±
Lu Chenyu: ¡°Do you want to watch it yourself?¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°Damn it, Chenyu, it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t talk.¡±
Lu Chenyu:¡±¡¡±

Living room of the Huo Family.
After the old master of the Huo family left for the study, the olddy immediately asked a servant to bring an exquisitely crafted red wooden box. Once opened, a jade bracelet made of jadeite was revealed.
¡°Wanwan, this is our Huo family¡¯s heirloom jade bracelet. I had two made at that time. I gave one to my second daughter-inw and the other was supposed to be given to my eldest daughter-inw. But who could have known that Ashen¡¯s parents left too soon¡¡±
She sighed and took Su Wanwan¡¯s hand, ¡°Now, I¡¯m entrusting this jade bracelet to you. You must take good care of it, understand?¡±
Su Wanwan was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, ¡°Grandma, this is too precious. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll lose it.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t, grandma trusts you.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Even she doesn¡¯t trust herself!
Although she didn¡¯t know much about jade, she could tell by the color and texture of this jade bracelet that it was valuable. It definitely was a top-quality item, worth at least a million, right?
She would feel heartbroken if she were to damage it one day.
¡°Actually, it¡¯s not expensive. If you really lose it, grandma will have another one made.¡± Having said that, the olddy of the Huo family immediately put it on Su Wanwan without further ado.
Su Wanwan¡¯s skin was fair, her wrists delicate and the jade bracelet against her skin looked exquisite, its translucent jadeite hueplemented her skin tone perfectly, adding a touch of elegance to the young girl. The more the olddy of the Huo family saw, the more satisfied she became. Her face bloomed into a smile.
She spoke again, ¡°Since you¡¯ve obtained the marriage certificate, you are my acknowledged granddaughter-inw. As for the wedding, we¡¯ll follow the old man¡¯s advice and dy it for now. I hope you don¡¯t mind¡¡±
¡°Grandma, it¡¯s okay. I also don¡¯t want to have the wedding so soon.¡±
In fact, she still wanted to get a divorce.
Of course, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t say this out loud.
If they really were to divorce, the only person she would feel reluctant to part with would be the olddy of the Huo family. Although they had only known each other for a few days, the olddy cared for her as if she were her own granddaughter. Aside from Su Xueqin, no elder had ever treated her this well¡
¡°If you can think like that, then it¡¯s good. Grandma was just worried about you.¡± The olddyughed contentedly. Then, her tone changed, ¡°You should stay here tonight.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Stay here? Wouldn¡¯t that mean she¡¯d have to sleep in the same room as that jerk?
¡°I asked Chu next door to send some bird¡¯s nest. I¡¯ll have Yunxiu stew it for youter on. It¡¯s inconvenient for you to move around with your leg injury. So why don¡¯t you stay here for a few days? After all, Ashen used to live here, and the room is already cleaned up.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, Huo Jingshen came back. The olddy of the Huo family promptly said, ¡°Ashen, don¡¯t go home tonight. Wanwan has agreed.¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened. When did she agree?
¡°Alright.¡± Huo Jingshen looked at her, his lips curling into a slight smile. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to my wife.¡±
Damn it!
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan started panicking, ¡°Grandma, I didn¡¯t bring any change of clothes with me. It won¡¯t be convenient¡¡±
¡°No problem!¡± The olddy proved to be startlingly open-minded, ¡°You can wear Ashen¡¯s clothes. He has plenty.¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡±
Su Wanwan was choked by her own saliva.
Could you be any more liberal, grandma?

In the afternoon, after receiving a phone call, Huo Jingshen went to thepany.
Su Wanwan was still troubled over the issue of clothes, and initially nned to find an opportunity to let the servants buy them for her. However, granny Huo dragged her to watch Korean dramas in the living room all afternoon, crying andughing intermittently, and also wished to discuss the plot with her.
By the time it was evening without her even realizing it, Su Wanwan had no choice but to send Huo Jingshen a message on WeChat: ¡°Remember to bring me a set of clean clothes and pajamas on your way back.¡±
¡°You can wear mine.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Your clothes are too big, how can I wear them!¡±

Huo Yuan Group.
In the office, Huo Jingshen was smiling as he put down his phone and dialed an intra-line number.
¡°Mr. Huo, how may I assist you?¡± Ji Jie answered respectfully on the other end of the phone.
¡°Arrange for a secretary to buy a set of women¡¯s clothing from the mall and have it delivered here.¡± After saying this, Huo Jingshen added another sentence, ¡°From innerwear to outerwear, and also the sleeping gown.¡±
¡°Understood, Mr. Huo.¡±
Secretary¡¯s office.
Upon hanging up the phone, Ji Jie immediately gave instructions to his subordinate,¡± Xiaozhou, go to the mall and buy a set of women¡¯s clothing now. Everything from innerwear to outerwear, including the sleeping gown.¡±
Secretary Zhou asked, ¡°Can I ask what style and what size?¡±
Ji Jie suddenly realized he had forgotten to ask Huo Jingshen about the size, but¡
An employee should anticipate what the boss has not thought of!
Moreover, who else could these clothes be for other than the Mrs?
So he quicky said, ¡°She¡¯s about 1.68 meters tall, has a¡particrly good figure, and is¡extremely beautiful! As for the style, emmmmm¡ you decide, use a woman¡¯s perspective to pick something that a mature and sessful man like Mr. Huo would be attracted to. Do you understand?¡±
¡°¡Understood.¡±

Due to this mimunication, when Su Wanwan wanted to bathe in the evening, she became furious upon seeing the sleeping gown that someone bought for her.
Huo Jingshen just pushed the door to the bedroom open when a ck sleeping gown came flying straight at his handsome face.
¡°Pervert!¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at the piece of clothing in his hand.
Well, it is indeed¡sexy.
Su Wanwan then pulled out a set of ck underwear from the bag.
AD-cup?
Eh, is she that big?
Men really can¡¯t be trusted to buy clothes.
Looking at the other piece¡
Su Wanwan finally couldn¡¯t help herself and threw all the clothes at Huo Jingshen.
No longer in control of her strength, she sat back onto the sofa with an ¡°ah,¡± her eyes welling up with tears of pain.
¡°Why are you so worked up?¡± Huo Jingshen quickly dropped the clothes and rushed over, ¡°Hurting the enemy 1000 means self-inflicting 800?¡±
¡°Screw you!¡± Su Wanwan red at him, ¡°You did it on purpose!¡±
Although Huo Jingshen felt wronged, his tone remained calm, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to wear them, then wear mine.¡±
¡°You just want me to wear your clothes! You¡you¡¯re a pervert!¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her indignation and remembered the female doctor who had scolded him at the hospital during the afternoon, saying that there might have been a slight tear and that he should have his wife go to the hospital for a detailed check.
He knew then that Su Wanwan definitely won¡¯t go.
The youngdy may be bold and uninhibited in her words and behavior, and sometimes even flurry like a demoness, but she is actually extremely conservative, especially in certain matters¡
Feeling a pang in his heart, he spoke softly, ¡°Be a good girl. I¡¯ll have Aunt Liu bring your clothes over tomorrow, okay?¡±
Su Wanwan remained silent, looking down at the bandage on her leg, feeling very pitiful.
In less than two days, her body was scarred and her soul was heavily struck¡
Silence filled the room until the ringtone of a phone broke it..

Huo Jingshen cleared his throat and picked up his mobile phone.
¡°Jingshen, this is Xiu Xin. I¡¯m sorry for calling at thiste hour. Have I disturbed your rest?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°I wanted to let you know, I¡¯m taking Ziyang back to the United Kingdom tomorrow. The child is just too mischievous. Thank you for looking after him these past few days.¡±
¡°My pleasure.¡±
¡°I should be the one thanking you. Yet, this time was just too rushed. When I have some free time, Xihan and I would like to invite you and your wife out to dinner.¡±
Xiu Xin was excessively polite, and Huo Jingshen was aloof and cold. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
He put down his mobile and walked towards the sofa; he reached down and picked Su Wanwan up.
¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± Su Wanwan yelled in panic.
¡°You¡¯re not in the best condition, so I¡¯m going to help you with the medicine.¡± With that said, Huo Jingshen stretched out his long legs and started walking.
¡°I don¡¯t need your help! I can wash myself! Put me down! You better put me down now¡¡±
¡°Why are you being shy with your husband?¡±
II II
¡°There¡¯s no need to be shy with your husband.¡±
After finishing his sentence, Huo Jingshen stopped talking and began to act. His quick movements caught Su Wanwan off guard.
¡°Can I¡I can wash myself, is that not okay?¡± Su Wanwan whimpered, curling herself up and pleading, ¡°I can wash myself.¡±
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, ¡°Are you sure?¡±
Su Wanwan immediately nodded her head, ¡°I only have a small scrape on my leg. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m missing an arm or a leg. I can wash myself!¡±
Seeing that he was still unmoving, she said, ¡°If I can¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll call you, alright?¡±
Fine.
In the end, Huo Jingshenpromised.

After returning to the bedroom, Huo Jingshen picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
¡°Who bought the clothes?¡±
Ji Jie, who was sternly called by his boss in the middle of the night, responded with unease, ¡°Mr. Huo, the clothes were bought by Xiaozhou. Is there a problem?¡±
¡°No.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone remained steady as always, ¡°Raise her sry by twenty percent next month.¡±
¡°¡ Yes.¡±
For a long time after that, a rumor spread widely among the secretarial department of the Huo Yuan Group:
Mr. Huo prefers mature women, especially those¡ dressed in ck..
Chapter 55 - 55: 055, Brother Jingshen
Chapter 55: Brother Jingshen
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan started ying on her phone after taking a shower.
Her long, seaweed-like ck hair was casually spread out on her shoulders, and the oversized men¡¯s ck T-shirt made her slender frame even more apparent.
When Huo Jingshen came out of the bathroom, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes red at him with a hint of grudge.
As the saying goes, a woman is most attractive when wearing a man¡¯s clothes.
Unable to stand his gaze, Su Wanwan immediately discarded her phone, grabbed the thin nket nearby and covered herself, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep now. You can sleep on the sofa.¡±
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, but just as he was about to walk over, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang again.
¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡±
Hearing this voice, Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows frowned slightly. Looking at the girl who was covering herself with the nket, he turned around and walked to the balcony.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
On the balcony, Huo Jingshen lit up a cigarette, his voice deep and calm.
¡°Brother Jingshen, did you really get married?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Who is she?¡±
¡°You wouldn¡¯t know her.¡±
¡°Does my brother know her?¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t either.¡±
¡°Brother Jingshen, I have always thought that you liked Dong Manjiao. My brother said you were going to marry Dong Manjiao. But why did you suddenly find another woman¡¡±
¡°I need to rest. I¡¯ll hang up first.¡±
¡°Brother Jingshen¡¡±
Without heeding the call at the other end, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, and then quickly dialed another number, ¡°Did you tell Fu Qi about my marriage?¡±
¡°What, did she call you?¡± There was a low chuckle from Fu Xihan on the other end of the phone. ¡°She really can¡¯t hold back.¡±
Huo Jingshen took a puff on his cigarette, ¡°I thought you would remember our agreement.¡±
They had agreed not to interfere with each other¡¯s personal affairs.
¡°So?¡± Fu Xihan¡¯s voice was scornful. ¡°You found a woman to marry on a whim because you didn¡¯t want to marry Dong Manjiao. Dong Yisen got angry and stopped all coborations with Yunda. As the head of Yunda now, did I say anything, huh?¡±
Huo Jingshen was silent.
¡°But I¡¯m suddenly a little curious. What kind of woman has such charm that you¡¯re willing to give up twenty percent of the Eastern Alliance¡¯s shares for her. Or¡ is there some other reason?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly. Instead of answering, he asked, ¡°Then why did you suddenly tell Ziyang that Xiu Xin is not his mother?¡±
Now it was Fu Xihan¡¯s turn to stay silent.
Huo Jingshen was in no hurry. He stood there, staring at the vast night, taking a puff on his cigarette.
Then, the man¡¯s low voice on the phone sounded slowly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to wait anymore.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression did not change.
The next second.
¡°When Xiu Xines back, I will ask her for a divorce..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
By the time she finished the long distance call, more than half an hour had passed.
Huo Jingshen returned to the room.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
But when he reached out to hold her¡
¡°Bastard, what¡¯re you trying to do?¡±
Su Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, pushing him away with her hands.
¡°Pervert?¡± Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, tightening his hold, ¡°So it¡¯s bastardly to hold my wife in sleep? Want to experience something even more bastardly?¡±
Su Wanwan had no choice but to surrender, ¡°Then¡ don¡¯t hold me so tight, I¡¯m not used to it and can¡¯t sleep.¡±
¡°We¡¯re married now. I¡¯m going to hold you like this every night from now on, so you¡¯ll have to get used to it.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke firmly, pulling her into his arms, ¡°But I won¡¯t do anything tonight, just go to sleep.¡±
The lights went off.
In the darkness, Su Wanwany stiffly, unable to sleep for a long time until she heard the man¡¯s steady breathing. Only then did her heart gradually settle.
After the day¡¯s ordeal, she waspletely exhausted. Once she was rxed, she couldn¡¯t resist the drowsiness and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning.
Huo Jingshen woke up early, opening his eyes to see the sleeping young girl in his arms.
With her eyes closed, long curled eyshes, slightly pouted lips giving her a child-like innocence, the palm-sized soft and tender face without visible pores. All in all, she looked like a little angel who had never experienced worldly affairs. But when she woke up, she was apparently not so well behaved.
The so-called, ¡°Sleeping angel, waking devil¡±?
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, pulled his arm out, got out of the bed and closed all the balcony doors and windows.
The piercing sound of the whistle was instantly shut outside.
By the time Su Wanwan woke up naturally, it was already past nine in the morning.
She was the only one left in the room.
Damn it!
Su Wanwan quickly got out of bed.
Having slept in for the first time in her mother-inw¡¯s house was absolutely uneptable!
After freshening up, she found the clothes that someone had bought yesterday.
She didn¡¯t care about anything at this point and put it on anyway. It fit, but¡
Thest item was a ck backless mini dress?
This is killing me!
It was definitely inappropriate to wear this at home. With no other choice, she hurriedly found one of Huo Jingshen¡¯s white shirts. Tucking the hem of the shirt into her denim shorts and checking her reflection in the mirror, she hastily went downstairs.
As soon as she reached the stairway, she saw Grandma Huoing up.
The elderlydy, dressed in a in martial arts costume and carrying a Magic Sword, looked full of vitality and refreshed.
She must have just finished her sword practice.
Su Wanwan quickly sweetly greeted her, ¡°Good morning, Grandma.¡±
¡°Wanwan, why are you up so early?¡± Grandma Huo said, smiling cheerfully and in good spirits.
Embarrassed, Su Wanwan blushed a little,¡±¡ Hehe, it¡¯s not that early.¡±
¡°Pfft.¡± Grandma Huo chuckled, covering her mouth. Her twinkling eyes were teasing and filled with innuendo, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I heard everythingst night.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wanwan froze.
Heard everything?
Heard what?

Chapter 57: Drama Queen Grandma
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Oh, this Ashen, it¡¯s outrageous! His leg hasn¡¯t healed yet and he¡¯s so impatient. I must give him a good talking-to, young people nowadays simply don¡¯t know what the word restraint means¡¡±
Madam Huo spoke in this way, but giggled happily, humming a little tune as she went back to her room.
Su Wanwan waspletely bemused.
For goodness sake, is the soundproofing in this room really that bad?
Even though they didn¡¯t do anythingst night, what if Madam Huo misunderstands now?
With an embarrassed face, she went downstairs to find that Grandpa Huo was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.
Grandpa Huo had fought on the battlefield in his early years and subsequently immersed himself in the world of business. Even when he wasn¡¯t speaking, his presence was very powerful, even sitting there had an intimidating effect.
When he nced at her¡
¡°Good morning, Grandpa,¡± Su Wanwan immediately greeted him sweetly.
Grandpa Huo quickly shifted his gaze back and scoffed mildly, ¡°Young people these days, their lifestyle is too chaotic! It¡¯s simply outrageous!¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Thinking back to what Madam Huo had just said, she became even more embarrassed.
If the olddy heard it, then surely the old gentleman must have heard it too¡ this is really bad¡
Fortunately, sounds from the entrance hall came to the rescue.
It was Huo Zhexiing home.
Still dressed in his mboyantly colored shirt, as soon as he saw Su Wanwan, he immediately scowled as if seeing an enemy. Yet, before he even spoke, the roar of Grandpa Huo had already sounded, ¡°You little scoundrel, you finally decided toe home!¡±
Huo Zhexi immediately lowered his head, ¡°Grandpa.¡±
Instantly switched from a little tyrant to being a grandson, it was a seamless transition.
Grandpa Huo tossed the newspaper onto the coffee table with a thunderous voice, ¡°When Hao Chenges back from abroad, quickly move back in with your dad, don¡¯t irritate me with your presence!¡±
Huo Zhexi could only lower his head and murmur, ¡°I can move back right now.¡±
Grandpa Huo red at him fiercely and threw a teapot directly at him, ¡°You dare to talk back?¡±
The teapot hit his shoulder, and Huo Zhexi hissed in pain, grimacing, ¡°Grandpa, it hurts!¡±
¡°I hope it kills you!¡±
Grandpa Huo was always in a bad mood whenever he saw this grandson. There has never been such a useless person in the Huo family.
¡°I¡¯ve told you so many times, if you don¡¯t want to work, just behave and stay put, we don¡¯tck your mouth to feed. If you dare to stir up more trouble like the incident where you hit the actress, I¡¯ll send you abroad! And you won¡¯t be able toe back in this lifetime!¡±
¡°I know.¡±
Mentioning the previous incident, Huo Zhexi once again gave Su Wanwan a resentful re.
If it wasn¡¯t for this bitch, and Mo Weiyi, how would he beughed at by others on such a public asion for wearing a green hat?
As a result, he lost his cool and pped the jerk, a sneaky person filmed it and posted the video online¡
These few days he¡¯s consistently being mocked and ridiculed by his friends, damn it!
¡°Clean up the floor.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Huo Zhexi obediently fetched the broom.
Seeing this, the maid spoke up, ¡°Young master, let me do it.¡±
¡°Let him clean up on his own!¡± Grandpa Huo yelled, scaring the maid off.
Su Wanwan shuddered on the side.
Soon, Madam Huo came downstairs after changing her clothes. ¡°Yunxiu, hurry up, make some breakfast for Wanwan.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for that, Grandma, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Grandpa Huo was still fuming, Su Wanwan felt embarrassed for waking upte, how could she dare to impose and have breakfast at such a time.
¡°No way, you must eat breakfast, recuperate well. I am looking forward to you giving me great-grandchildren!¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Su Wanwan choked on her saliva in surprise.
Madam Huo giggled, ¡°Ashen has gone to the office. I told him that once your leg has healed a bit, we would choose an auspicious day and go to the Su family together to discuss the dowry. What do you think?¡±
¡°Grandma, I will follow your advice.¡±
¡°Such a good girl.¡±
Huo Zhexi sneered internally. Does this bitch have split personalities?
In front of him she was so cruel and evil, but in front of grandpa and grandma, she was as sweet as a kitten, she¡¯s even better at pretending to be a good grandson than him.
*

After breakfast, Su Wanwan received a call from Su Xueqin asking her toe home in the afternoon to try on the ceremonial dress.
Time passed so quickly, two dayster it would be the 20th, that is, the wedding of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun.
¡°Grandpa, I won¡¯t try on the ceremonial dress, I don¡¯t want to attend the wedding.¡±
¡°Are you talking nonsense again?¡± Su Xueqin gently reprimanded, ¡°You are my biological granddaughter. When the Su family is hosting a happy event, as the eldest daughter, you must attend, and you must attend in style!¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
Returning to the Su family always led to chaos¡ even just thinking about it made Su Wanwan feel tired.
So, she dawdled around until it was almost four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Aunt Liu sent over changes of clothes, and Su Wanwan changed her clothes and went downstairs.
In the living room, Madam Huo was watching a Korean drama.
¡°Wanwan, going out?¡±
¡°Grandma, I am going back to the Su family, I shall return shortly.¡±
¡°That¡¯s perfect, Zhexi can drop you off, he¡¯s going to Jianwai SOHO.¡±
¡°No need, Grandma¡¡±
But Madam Huo had already begun calling out, ¡°Zhexi, you send Wanwan to the Su Family.¡±
Su Wanwan felt that Huo Zhexi saw her as an enemy, and would never be willing to give her a lift. Who would have thought¡
¡°Okay.¡± Huo Zhexi smirked, giving a fakeugh, ¡°Let¡¯s go, please..¡±
Chapter 58 - 58: 058, Spoiled Rich Kid
Chapter 58: Spoiled Rich Kid
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°Wanwan has a leg injury, you need to drive slowly, understand?¡± The old Mrs.
Huo reminded.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, grandma, I will take good care of my sister-inw.¡± Huo Zhexi said, with an insincere smile on his face.
Su Wanwan wasn¡¯t afraid of him, after all, he was just a spoiled rich kid. She was his sister-inw for now. What could he possibly do to her?
So, she got into his shy sports car and they swiftly left the X District Manor, heading west.
Gradually, Su Wanwan began to sense something was off, ¡°You¡¯re driving in the wrong direction. You should have turned left just now.¡±
Huo Zhexi smirked, then put his foot down on the gas pedal and drove onto the highway. The speedometer started climbing rapidly, 60, 80,100¡
Eventually, it maxed out near 2oomph.
Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°Slow down, this is dangerous.
Huo Zhexi acted as if he couldn¡¯t hear her, his foot still pressing the elerator to the floor. He nced towards Su Wanwan while driving.
He wanted to scare her, preferably shock her enough to cry, but instead¡
Damn, was Su Wanwan even a woman at all?
Not a single typical feminine reaction from her!
With a screech of the brakes, the sports car came to a sudden stop.
Huo Zhexi jumped out of the car and swung the car door open violently, ¡°Brat,
get out of the car!¡±
With a baffled expression, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°What are you trying to do now?
¡°Get out, do you hear me?¡± Huo Zhexi¡¯s face turned vicious, ¡°If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll drag you out!¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, then reluctantly got out of the car.
They were at a highway junction, with only asional passing cars and virtually no pedestrians.
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Without grandma and grandpa, no more acting like a good grandson, huh?¡± Huo Zhexi crossed his arms over his chest, ¡°I haven¡¯t settled scores with you yet! What do you n to do about the time you injured me?¡±
It dawned on Su Wanwan that he was looking for payback.
¡°And how would you like me to deal with it?¡±
Huo Zhexi brushed his messy hair aside and then lifted one foot onto the roadside railing, ¡°To give my brother some face, let¡¯s do this ¨C you just need to say sorry, kneel down, and clean off my shoe with your tongue. Then, I will forgive you.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched.
If he weren¡¯t a member of the Huo family, she¡¯d p him right across his face!
Such juvenile and ridiculous behavior!
¡°So, have you made up your mind?¡± Huo Zhexi urged.
Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smirk, ¡°I can say sorry.
Just as Huo Zhexi was about tough¡
¡°But me kneeling to lick your shoes? Never happening!¡±
¡°You little brat!¡± Huo Zhexi was livid, he raised his hand, ready to hit her¡
¡°If you dare hit me, I¡¯m going to tell grandpa!¡±
Huo Zhexi clenched his fists. There was still some fear in him.
But in the next second, he burst outughing, ¡°Do you really think I can¡¯t handle you? I know all about your past ¨C your drinking, fighting, drug using, and sleeping around¡ If I were to tell grandpa, can you guess what would happen?¡±
Su Wanwan almostughed.
All those things she had done before were all recorded by the police. Wouldn¡¯t the Huo family find out as long as they checked?
But then¡
She checked her watch.
It was almost five o¡¯clock.
Her eyes flickered suddenly, ¡°Fine, but wait a moment, let me get some tissues.¡±
¡°What do you need tissues for? I don¡¯t mind your saliva, get on your knees and start licking. Let¡¯s get this over with.¡±, Huo Zhexi, looking very generous, casually flipped his leg.
¡°But I do mind your shoes being dirty. I can¡¯t bear to put my mouth on them before wiping them clean.¡±
Huo Zhexi:¡±¡¡±
Grinding his teeth, he finally agreed, ¡°Fine, then.¡±
After all, she would still end up licking, right?
Shouldn¡¯t he film it with his phone?
That way he could use it as leverage and see if she¡¯d dare to be cocky in the future.
While these thoughts were running through his mind, Su Wanwan had already gotten back in the sports car.
Then, before he could react, the engine roared and the white sports car flew off like an arrow.
Damn her!
Huo Zhexi¡¯s eyes widened in an instant, and he began to chase after her.
¡°F***, stop! Stop the car! You brat, stop the car! Stop it¡!¡±
All his stuff, his phone, house keys, wallet¡ They were all left in the car!

Su Wanwan had learned how to drive when she was 15, but as she was still underage, she hadn¡¯t had the chance to get her license.
Fortunately, she didn¡¯t run into any cops along the way and drove straight to the lodging of the Su family.
The shy new model sports car drew attention as soon as it pulled up, causing an outcry from behind, ¡°Su Wanwan?¡±
Su Wanwan turned around.
Xing Siqing never imagined that she would drive such an expensive car over.
It was thetest model of sports cars worth millions. Did her elder brother just let her drive it so casually?!
Behind her, Xing Yuyun and Huo Qinyu also got out of their cars and looked over.
Su Wanwan nodded to everyone and then went into the house.
¡°Mom, did you see her attitude?¡± Xing Siqing instantly got angrier.
This wench actually ignored her?
And she didn¡¯t even greet her!
She was just too arrogant!
Huo Qinyu quickly furrowed her brows, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go inside too..

The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and as bridesmaids, Xing Siqing and Qiao Zixin came over tonight for the dress fitting.
Su Wanwan nced at the living room before heading to Su Xueqin¡¯s room.
As soon as the door closed, Qiao Zixin asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Wanwan, who upset her now?¡±
¡°Who would dare to upset her?¡± Su Yanyan resentfully removed her earrings, ¡°In this house, grandpa cares for her the most. He even specially had a high-end dress made for her.¡±
The mention of that dress made her angry. The wedding is hers, and she is the bride.
Su Xueqin is indifferent, but he made a separate dress specifically for Su Wanwan.
She didn¡¯t understand why, as daughters of the Su family, Su Xueqin yed such obvious favorites.
¡°Yanyan.¡±
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yanyan hurriedly turned around with a smile, ¡°Aunt Huo, Yuntang, Sister Siqing.¡±
¡°Why are you still calling me Aunt even when you¡¯re about to get married?¡± Huo Qinyu feigned anger.
Su Yanyan shyly lowered her head, and bashfully called out, ¡°Mom.¡±
Huo Qinyu immediately smiled broadly. She handed the supplements to the maid, then held Su Yanyan¡¯s arm, her eyes involuntarily dropping to her stomach, ¡°How are you, feeling all right today?¡±
Su Yanyan was taken aback, then quickly replied, ¡°No, no, everything is great.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good¡¡±
¡°Where¡¯s that bitch Su Wanwan?¡± Xing Siqing scanned the room but didn¡¯t see her.
¡°Siqing.¡± Huo Qinyu mildly reproved, ¡°Don¡¯t be so rude.¡±
Xing Siqing snorted and went over to look at the bridesmaid dresses.
As everyone settled down on the sofa, Qiao Zixin quietly asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t they saying Wanwan was getting married? Why did shee alone? I was looking forward to seeing what her husband looks like.¡±
¡°Sis.¡± Su Yanyan was impatient, ¡°What¡¯s there to see about her husband? He¡¯s just an old man.¡±
¡°Old man?¡±
¡°He¡¯s thirty, isn¡¯t that considered an old man?¡±
Qiao Zixin was shocked.
True, being ten years older than Su Wanwan, he could indeed be considered an ¡®old man¡¯.
Although, she heard that Su Wanwan married the eldest son from the Huo Family, who is set to inherit the Huo Yuan Group. Such a background was worth it, even if he was a bit older. Even if they divorced, Su Wanwan could still get arge alimony.
Perhaps this cunning girl married that ¡®old man¡¯ Huo because of the money?
As Qiao Zixin was contemting this, the room¡¯s door opened, and Su Wanwan wheeled out Su Xueqin.
When they arrived, Su Xueqin pointed to the yellow gift box at the back of the cupboard, ¡°Wanwan, try on this dress. Let me know if it doesn¡¯t fit, we can still adjust it over the next couple of days.¡±
Su Wanwan noticed that the bridesmaid dress Qiao Zixin was wearing was a pink one, and the one Xing Siqing was holding was the same. There were also two opened pink gift boxes next to them.
Obviously, Su Xueqin had again splurged on a uniquely customized dress just for her.
Su Wanwan sighed inwardly, yet still smiled sweetly, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡±
Su Xueqin pointed upstairs, ¡°You can try it on upstairs, there are too many people here.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Su Wanwan picked up the gift box and went upstairs.
The living room became lively again.
But soon, Jiang Yi seemed to remember something abruptly, and she got up quickly, ¡°Sorry, Qinyu, I need to go upstairs and get something.¡±
*

On the second floor.
Su Wanwan opened her bedroom door only to find it filled with stuff. There were rows of clothes racks up frontden with clothes, and storage cabs at the back filled with shoe boxes. They blocked off the already small room.
Let alone living there, it was even hard to get in to try on clothes.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her bubbling anger and turned to leave.
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Jiang Yi came up from below.
She smiled and said, ¡°Wanwan, I forgot to tell you, the stuff in your room all belongs to Yanyan.¡±
Su Wanwan squinted at her, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Well, you¡¯re getting married, right? And Yanyan has been preparing for her wedding, so she temporarily put her clothes and shoes in your room¡¡±
¡°Her room is so big, isn¡¯t there enough space there? This is my room, not her dressing room!¡±
Su Wanwan was angry.
No matter what, this room still contained her things.
If we¡¯re talking about getting married, Su Yanyan is too, so why should she stuff her stuff in her room?
And they didn¡¯t even ask her? Aren¡¯t there other empty rooms on the second floor?
¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I¡¯ll clean it up right now,¡± Jiang Yi said, then turned towards the stairs, ¡°Yuntang.¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Su Yuntang¡¯s impatient voice echoed, ¡°You¡¯re not living here anymore, the room would be empty anyway.. What¡¯s wrong with Yanyan using it a bit?¡±

Su Wanwan looked at him, ¡°Do you wish that I would never return? I¡¯ve only been married for a few days, and you¡¯ve already turned my room into a dressing room. Will you knock down the walls to make it bigger for her in a few days?¡±
¡°Are you intentionally trying to frustrate me?¡± Su Yuntang¡¯s face looked terrible, ¡°As soon as you return, you start yelling and disturbing the peace, don¡¯t think just because grandpa dotes on you, you can be so willful!¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but want tough.
This is her father alright, Su Yanyan was the one being willful, moving all her belongings into Su Wanwan¡¯s room without any consideration, but in his words, it became Wanwan¡¯s fault.
Su Yuntang went on, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you married better than Yanyan? Why hasn¡¯t Huo Jingshene with you? Don¡¯t tell me the Huo family kicked you out and you came back to vent your spleen on me.¡±
¡°Is this still my home?¡± Su Wanwan found it ridiculous to even mention the word ¡°home¡±.
Standing by, Jiang Yi quickly spoke, ¡°Wanwan, of course this is your home. Don¡¯t worry, I will move all the clothes out of your room, it has always been yours.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Su Wanwan looked at the fake smile on her face and suddenly walked into the room.
She ced the gift box on the sofa, grabbed the clothes from the hanger, and threw them on the floor one by one, before finally knocking over the entire clothes rack.
Just like dominoes, all the racks behind fell over, making a ¡°ng ng¡± sound.
Jiang Yi let out a scream in terror, ¡°Wanwan, don¡¯t do this, these are Yanyan¡¯s clothes.¡±
Many of those are freshly bought brand-name autumn outfits that Su Yanyan hadn¡¯t even worn yet.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say this was my room?¡± Su Wanwan said, stepping hard on the clothes, ¡°These dirty things in my room upset me. What¡¯s wrong with venting a bit?¡±
¡°Wanwan!¡± Jiang Yi hurriedly tried to pull her hand.
¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Su Wanwan looked disgusted as she abruptly pulled her hand away.
Then, Jiang Yi let out a sharp scream and copsed back onto the sofa.
Just as Su Yuntang walked into the room.
Seeing this scene, his face changed and he quickly rushed over. ¡°Jiang Yi, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Jiang Yi bowed her head, held her lower back, and whimpered in pain.
¡°What the hell happened!¡± Su Yuntang looked towards Su Wanwan.
It was clear ¨C who else could it be other than Su Wanwan?
With the room in such disarray, it was obvious there had been an argument.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Jiang Yi frowned as though exining, ¡°It¡¯s not Wanwan¡¯s fault. I was careless and bumped my back onto the doorknob.¡±
¡°You¡¯re still defending her?¡± Su Yuntang seemed abruptly inmed with anger. He got up and roared at Su Wanwan, ¡°Ingreate!¡±
Su Wanwan smirked and said sarcastically, ¡°Nice acting.¡±
Then she picked up the gift box and left.
**
Downstairs, Su Xueqin frowned, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Wanwan? Is the dress not fitting? Why didn¡¯t you put it on?¡±
¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m taking the gift back. I won¡¯t being back to this house in the future.¡±
Having said that, Su Wanwan wanted to leave, but she heard Su Yuntang¡¯s roaring from behind, ¡°Ingrate! Stop right there!¡±
He ran downstairs, snatched the gift box from her hand, and threw it on the ground. He then pointed at her nose and reprimanded her fiercely, ¡°Apologize to your aunt!¡±
¡°Dad, what happened?¡± Su Yanyan asked, surprised.
Huo Qinyu also stood up immediately, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
The crowd had various expressions, most of them enjoying the spectacle unfolding.
Jiang Yi had by now caught up, clutching her back with a pained expression, but trying to mediate, ¡°Yuntang, don¡¯t do this, it was my fault, I fell on my own. It¡¯s not Wanwan¡¯s fault. Please don¡¯t me her.¡±
The more she spoke, the more it sounded like ¡°an obvious denial¡±.
Su Yanyan red at Su Wanwan whose eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she used sharply, ¡°Su Wanwan, how dare you push my mother! You¡¯ve gone too far! What did my mother do to offend you! You¡¯re so cruel!¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to waste time talking. She bent down to pick up the gift box and just as she touched it, it was pped away by Su Yuntang again.
The gift box fell to the floor with a ¡°pop¡±, and her arm had a red mark as if it had been scalded, it hurt even more with the burning sensation.
She raised her head, her eyes were clear, ¡°I didn¡¯t push her, she fell on her own.¡±
¡°Apologize! Apologize to aunt right now, are you deaf!¡± Su Yuntang kept repeating.
¡°What are you shouting!¡± Su Xueqin pped the wheelchair, ¡°What is going on?¡±
¡°Dad, don¡¯t interfere with this matter today.¡± Su Yuntang said, and reached out to grab Su Wanwan¡¯s wrist, yanked it hard, ¡°Will you apologize?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him, but didn¡¯t speak a word.
Her eyes were cold, and the mole under her eyelid stood out prominently, stubborn, and vibrant.
Upon seeing the mole, Su Yuntang¡¯s nerves cracked, couldn¡¯t hold back, and abruptly raised his right hand.
But his hand was caught in midair by a strong force.
Behind Su Wanwan without making a sound, there stood a tall man, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere..

Chapter 61: aggressively defending shorings
Trantor: 549690339
Su Yuntang was furious beyond words, he immediately tried to struggle free, but found his wrist was as though being mped by iron, unable to move at all.
¡°You., let go of me¡¡±
Just as he got his words out, there was a ¡®crack¡¯ sound of a dislocated bone.
Su Yuntang only felt a sharp, intense pain in his wrist, resulting in a suppressed groan.
He, who had been at high positions for many years, cherished within greater bounds, and even receiving respect from those who met him. When had he ever suffered such physical torment?
Quickly, his face distorted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and as the force steadily intensified, he clenched his teeth; even his body began to tremble from pain.
As for the others, they were all somewhat dumbfounded.
Especially Qiao Zixin.
She discovered that this man was actually that top-quality man she had met the other day!
His sudden appearance now seemed like the descent of a divine being, his height close to one meter ny, long and even, merely standing there casually made him exceptionally upright, giving off an arrogant and noble aura.
Contrary to the casual attire he had on that day, today he was wearing a neatly ironed shirt and trousers, even sporting a tie. The whole person exuded the mature charm of a business elite, overshadowing any boss or young master she had dated before.
He was like a shining entity,pletely capturing her gaze, making her almost infatuated. Her heart was melting and floating, and she couldn¡¯t respond at all.
¡°Ashen!¡± Huo Qinyu was the first to react, ¡°That¡¯s your father-inw, quickly let go of his hand.¡±
Huo Jingshen pursed his thin lips, waiting for a few seconds, only then slowly let go.
When he spoke next, his tone was t and gentle, and was even somewhat polite, ¡°What happened to my father-inw, who upset you and made you so angry?¡±
Su Yuntang, gripping his numb wrist in pain, had a pallid face, choked with resentment and suffocated, yet he couldn¡¯t say a word.
Such a good son-inw indeed.
Just a second ago, he nearly believed his hand was about to snap!
Now he is acting like a humble junior, even using the honorary title¡
Huo Jingshen bowed his head slightly and looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Did she behave badly again, causing the elder to be angry even when she returned home?¡±
Su Wanwan remained silent, possibly due to the scare, her face was pale and she was still in a daze.
¡°It¡¯s all a misunderstanding.¡± Jiang Yi exined weakly, ¡°I identally fell a while ago upstairs and injured my waist, Yuntang was too worried, it has nothing to do with Wanwan.¡±
Su Yanyan called out, ¡°Mom, you clearly just¡¡±
The words that followed had been forcibly stopped by Jiang Yi¡¯s warning gaze.
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, his tone steady, ¡°My wife is still very young; if she has offended anyone with her words or actions, I hope the adults can be more forgiving.¡±
He did put on a quite courteous demeanor, making Jiang Yi¡¯sughter seem additionally strained.
But one cannot deny it, the initially tense atmosphere in the living room was slightly eased.
¡°Ashen, why are you just getting here now?¡± Huo Qinyu changes the subject.
In the past, she always felt that Huo Jingshen was quite aloof. His interactions with others were lukewarm. Considering that he had been living abroad in the United Kingdom for many years, and didn¡¯t have much interaction, it seemed normal that they were not close. But after being in contact with him for these past days, she realized she was wrong.
The way he hurt Su Yuntang just now, without seemingly using much force, caused him to hurt so much that he couldn¡¯t speak. His technique obviously came from martial arts training, knowing how to cause pain without damaging the muscles and bones.
He was ruthless, not caring that Su Yuntang was his father-inw; even then, he swiftly switched to an extremely respectful attitude. No one could say anything against him, as he was both the perpetrator and mediator.
¡°Just got off work.¡± Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, ¡°I came to pick my wife up for dinner back home.¡±
After that, he looked at Su Xueqin, ¡°Grandpa, I won¡¯t disturb your gathering. I¡¯ll take Wanwan home now, the elders at home are urging.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Su Xueqin nodded his head and did not obstruct him.
Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Huo Jingshen ced his hand on Su Wanwan¡¯s shoulder, leading her to leave.
The living room fell into silence.
Nobody spoke until Su Xueqin¡¯s aged yet coldly angry voice rang out, ¡°Yuntang,e with me to the study.¡±
Su Yuntang, clutching his wrist, gritted his teeth in pain and followed behind..

As soon as the study room door closed, Huo Qinyu said, ¡°Since Uncle has something else to discuss, we¡¯ll head out first.¡±
Xing Siqing blurted, ¡°Mom, I haven¡¯t tried on the dress yet¡¡±
¡°Take it home and try it there.¡± Huo Qinyu interrupted her, turning her gaze towards Xing Yuyun, ¡°Yuyun, let¡¯s go.¡±
Xing Yuyun stood up and silently headed towards the exit.
Su Yanyan wanted to chase after him but was pulled back by Jiang Yi.
¡°Auntie.¡± Qiao Zixin finally regained her senses, ¡°I have to go too. This dress fits well, I¡¯ll take it home directly.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
They all stepped outside, just in time to see a Bentley passing by with Huo Jingshen.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome profile shed past.
Qiao Zixin looked as if she had lost her soul, her gaze trailing after the car. She didn¡¯t even hear Huo Qinyu¡¯s voice until her wrist was tugged.
¡°Miss Qiao?¡±
Qiao Zixin snapped back to reality, ¡°Sorry, I was lost in thought.¡±
Huo Qinyu nced at the departing Bentley, smiling,¡± We¡¯re going back to Dongcheng, do you need a ride?¡±
A thought crossed Qiao Zixin¡¯s mind, ¡°Sure, thank you, Auntie.¡±
**
As soon as she got in the car, Xing Siqing started toin. ¡°Mom, did you see it? Uncle Su¡¯s face turned pale from the pain. I heard our brother knows martial arts, that¡¯s too much! For a worthless woman, he even dared to strike his father-inw. It¡¯s just¡¡±
¡°Say less.¡± Huo Qinyu interrupted her.
Xing Siqing huffed, turning to look out the window.
The car was quiet.
After a while, Qiao Zixin casually asked, ¡°Wanwan¡¯s marriage hasn¡¯t been long, has it?¡±
¡°Indeed!¡± Xing Siqing immediately started babbling again, ¡°Who knows how that tramp hooked up with our brother? She was making a fuss with my brother just a while ago, I think she is vain and only cares about the prestige of the Huo family. Bing the daughter-inw of the Huo family is much more morouspared to the Xing family. Our brother is set to inherit Huo Yuan¡¯s fortune. My brother, on the other hand, doesn¡¯t have a background or connections. My grandpa doesn¡¯t value him and my dad¡.¡±
¡°Siqing!¡± Huo Qinyu sternly cut her off.
Never had she seen a sister belittling her own brother like this.
Xing Yuyun was driving at the time, although he didn¡¯t say a word, it was clear he didn¡¯t take her words lightly.
The car fell silent again and no one dared to speak for the rest of the trip.
But Qiao Zixin was secretly delighted, for she had learned two important pieces of information:
First: Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen had a whirlwind marriage; their understanding of each other was superficial at best.
Second: Su Wanwan was only interested in Huo Jingshen¡¯s wealth and status, meaning her intentions were impure.
**
Inside the study, Su Xueqin, leaning on his cane, tremblingly stood up from his wheelchair. With his right hand, he swung a p.
He put all his strength into it, causing Su Yuntang¡¯s face to turn to one side, instantly leaving a white handprint.
¡°How many times have I told you! Don¡¯t vent your anger on Wanwan!¡±
Su Xueqin sat back in his wheelchair, his anger unabated.
Su Yuntang clenched his teeth, replying, ¡°Dad, why do you always defend that wretched daughter? Are you aware that she just threw Yanyan¡¯s clothes and shoes all over the floor and deliberately pushed Jiang Yi down? She is clearly¡¡± ¡°For no reason, why would she do that? Isn¡¯t it because you all went too far? Previously, you wanted to drive her out of the house, and now you want to seize the house entirely!¡±
Su Yuntang snorted coldly, looking out the window.
The old voice of Su Xueqin rang out once again:
¡°I know, you think that woman dishonored you and ruined your future prospects.
But she¡¯s been dead for twenty years, and your career is now sessful. Why can¡¯t you let go of your grudges and treat Wanwan a bit better?
She is, after all, your flesh and blood. You wanted to p her in front of everyone. If it weren¡¯t for Huo Jingshen¡¯s intervention, what would outsiders think? What would the Huo family think?
All these years you deliberately sent her to boarding school. Two years ago, you even sent her to Los Angeles. The reason I turned a blind eye was because I didn¡¯t want constant chaos in the house.
But you¡¯ve gone too far now, even giving the groom I carefully selected for her to your other daughter, and now you want to get violent!
I¡¯m old and no longer capable, but I haven¡¯t lost my mind!
I do not want to see a repeat of today¡¯s events!¡±
Su Xueqin pronounced his ultimatum, ready to leave the study with his wheelchair.
¡°Dad.¡±
Su Xueqin turned his head back, ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡±
Su Yuntang hesitated.
Finally, he asked, ¡°Is Ya Jin really dead?¡±
Chapter 63 - 63: 063, doted on daughter-in-law
Chapter 63: doted on daughter-inw
Trantor: 549690339
Su Xueqin gripped the backrest of the chair tightly, yet his voice remained nd, ¡°Haven¡¯t you checked it out at the hospital?¡±
Su Yuntang didn¡¯t respond.
He stood there, his brow furrowed, aplex and somewhat bewildered expression on his face.
Years ago, Su Xueqin suddenly brought back the swaddled Su Wanwan, saying that Ya Jin hadplications in the hospital and died from excessive blood loss. With no rtives or friends, the hospital had to take leave of the child in welfare care, before her ancestors epted her half a yearter.
At that time, it was a critical moment in Su Yuntang¡¯s life and he certainly didn¡¯t expect an unexpected daughter to suddenly emerge.
His eligibility to go to the American Institute was withdrawn by the school, he was questioned by the school leadership as if he were a criminal, and his previous passionate rtionship with Ya Jin was also re-exposed by on-lookers. His life rhythm was entirely disrupted.
He especially hated Ya Jin.
This woman nearly ruined his entire university life and to top it off, she couldn¡¯t leave him alone even in death! She had to leave behind a thorn in his life, causing him a lifetime of trouble!
Every time he saw Su Wanwan, it felt as if he was seeing Ya Jin. The obscene images of her being pregnant yet not refraining from having affairs with other men, every memory felt like a dull knife constantly scraping at the bottom of his heart¡
As Su Wanwan grew older, her face increasingly resembled Ya Jin¡¯s. They looked almost identical, even the mole at the corner of their eyes was in the exact same spot.
Just like Ya Jin, Su Wanwan was up to no good from a young age; skipping school, fighting, consuming alcohol, dating prematurely, regrly not returning home at night, frequent visitor at the police station¡
The inferiority in her bones was truly just like her mother.
His uncontroble hatred in his heart was just like his uncontroble disgust towards his daughter, Su Wanwan.
Even now, he got the impression that how could such a woman easily be gone? Even though he has seen the death certificate, he has never been able to believe it¡
¡°You can stop wondering about the past,¡± Su Xueqin looked at his son, his old voice grimly warning, ¡°I hope you will firmly remember what we have discussed today.¡±
**
When Su Yuntang returned upstairs, Su Yanyan was already crying up a storm in her room.
¡°Mom, this trench coat is a new Burberry, I haven¡¯t even worn it once, I didn¡¯t even dare to cut the tags off. Now the buttons are gone after being stepped on, and my shoes, they¡¯ve been crushed! Su Wanwan went too far, she did it on purpose!¡±
¡°Alright, alright, Aunt Yang is already cleaning up. Wanwan¡¡±
Seeing Su Yuntang pass by the door, Jiang Yi promptly stood up and chased after him, ¡°Yuntang, Yuntang, are you okay?¡±
Su Yuntang, however, seemed to have lost his soul and directly went into the bedroom.
¡°Mom¡¡±
Jiang Yi turned around, ¡°Stop crying, let me check on your father. You go downstairs and get your dresses together, good girl.¡±
Su Yanyan pouted, looking at the clothes and shoes scattered all over the room, she was about to go crazy from frustration.
She had arranged for her two bridesmaids toe home and try on their dresses tonight, they had ns to take pictures and post them on social media with Xing Yuyun. Now, everything was ruined by that annoying girl!
As she raged downstairs, she suddenly discovered a yellow box on the floor of the entrance hall.
It was the custom dress Su Xueqin had gifted to Su Wanwan. Earlier¡Su Wanwan actually didn¡¯t take it with her?
A smirk creeped onto Su Yanyan¡¯s face.
She quickly nced at the living room, seized the opportunity when the maid wasn¡¯t paying attention, and quietly picked up the gift box and left.
**
The mansion of the Huo family.
Huo Jingshen pulled open the car door, ¡°Get out.¡±
Su Wanwan tried getting off, somehow her feet went weak, and with a ¡°ah¡± she leaned forward, about to fall.
Her waist was quickly held by a pair of male hands, and consequently, she found herself in the warm embrace of a man.
Huo Jingshen, with his head lowered, in the dim light of the streetmp, saw that the littledy in his arms was without makeup, her vivid features were childish yet radiant.
¡°What are you trying to do!¡± Su Wanwan tried to push him away, scared.
This man, who acted so reserved and remote in front of others, was revealing his true colors in private now, wasn¡¯t he?
Huo Jingshen continued to gaze at her.
The two were very close, his deep ck eyes unwavering, his voice low yet discernibly flirty, ¡°You seem fit and healthy, does it still hurt?¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she understood the implication of his question, she quickly answered, ¡°It hurts.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
¡°It really hurts, it hurts like hell!¡± Su Wanwan was indeed in a bit of pain.
But having applied some ointment, the pain was indeed much less than yesterday, but she didn¡¯t dare to say that.
¡°In that case¡¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was gentle, ¡°We¡¯ll head upstairs after dinner, and your husband will apply the ointment for you again.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±??? ¡±
Wait, why the more I listen the more it sounds like¡
¡°Did Ashen and Wanwan get back?¡± The voice of the old mistress Huo came from within the vi.
Su Wanwan hurriedly pushed Huo Jingshen away, ¡°Grandma.¡±
Old Mistress Huo was at the door in no time, looking at the glorious couple in front of her, her face was beaming, ¡°Excellent, finally, you¡¯re treating your wife with care. Come on, dinner¡¯s ready.¡±
Just as they entered the living room, there was a sudden ¡°nk¡± sound from behind them.
Then the maid¡¯s voice rose, ¡°My God, what happened to the Third Master?¡±
Chapter 64 - 64: 064, wait for me
Chapter 64: wait for me
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan turned around to look.
¡°Pfft¡ª¡±
She quickly covered her mouth.
¡°Zhexi, what¡¯s going on?¡± Madam Huo received a considerable shock.
Huo Zhexi was lying on the floor,pletely drenched as if he had just been fished out of the water. His flowered shirt was wet and clinging to his body, his clothes, pants, and shoes were covered in dust and grass clippings, his handsome face was drained of all color, his lips were pale¡
And the most exaggerated part was his once mboyantly middle-parted hairstyle. Because of the sweat, it was split into two sections drooping on either side of his forehead, just like the hairstyles of traitors in World War II TV series¡
With his eyes red red, he gasped for air and weakly roared: ¡°You damn girl, you¡ you¡¯ll¡ you¡¯ll pay for this!¡±
Madam Huo turned to Su Wanwan, ¡°What happened?¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and said, ¡°He said he wanted to do some physical exercise, so he let me drive the car.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Madam Huo made a strange expression, ¡°So, Zhexi, you walked back?¡±
Huo Zhexi was still panting heavily. He had walked for over two hours under high temperatures without drinking any water. He was both tired and thirsty, his throat parched to the point of smoking, even talking was painful.
¡°Where did you walk back from?¡± Madam Huo continued to question.
Lying there, Huo Zhexi finally managed to utter a single word after a long while, ¡°¡Water.¡±
The servant quickly went into the kitchen to fetch water.
Su Wanwan coughed twice and kindly said, ¡°I think¡ it should be¡ the Sixth Ring.¡±
¡°The Sixth Ring!¡± Madam Huo eximed.
Huo Zhexi was so furious that his eyes rolled back.
To think that as the third young master of the illustrious Huo family, born and raised with a silver spoon, he had lived a life offort and luxury. When had he ever been subjected to such hardship?
When the sports car was taken away by Su Wenwen, he didn¡¯t have anything on him, not a penny and no mobile phone. He wanted to hitch a ride back but despite trying for an hour on the highway, not a single car was willing to stop for him.
Once he finally reached the city, he wanted to borrow a phone to call someone to pick him up, but again, no one was willing to lend him their phone. Men, women, the elderly, and children would evade him by a great distance as if he were some gue.
He was utterly bemused. Madam Huo was of mixed blood, and the Huo family was famous for their good looks. Was his appearance really that terrifying?
¡°What happened?¡± Huo Senior¡¯s voice suddenly echoed.
Upon seeing his grandson in such a pitiful state, he was even more furious, ¡°What have you been up to, you miscreant!¡±
Madam Huo exined, ¡°Zhexi was working out.¡±
¡°Insane!¡± Huo Senior turned around, ¡°Get the meal ready.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s eat, let¡¯s eat.¡± Madam Huo quickly started bustle about.
**
Half an hourter, in the dining room.
¡°Wanwan, eat more chicken, this is a free-range chicken specially bought by Wen Xiu.¡±
¡°And this pork hock, eat more, it provides cogen.¡±
¡°Ashen, help your wife get some food.¡±
As soon as Huo Zhexi, who had just finished his shower, walked into the dining room, he heard Madam Huo¡¯s enthusiastic greeting.
He pursed his lips, found a spot to sit down, picked up his bowl, and began to scoop some soup.
¡°Smack!¡±
Madam Huo hit his soup spoon with her chopsticks, ¡°This was specially prepared for your elder brother, you go eat tofu soup.¡±
¡°Grandma, there¡¯s still a big bowl of it! Can¡¯t I have just a small bowl?¡± Huo Zhexi was on the verge of tears.
He had suffered so much, was it too much to ask for just a small bowl of meat soup?
Madam Huo clicked her tongue, ¡°You don¡¯t even have a girlfriend, what do you want to do with so much bullwhip soup?¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Su Wenwen choked.
Bullwhip soup?
No wonder Madam Huo kept telling Huo Jingshen to drink more¡
As for Huo Jingshen.
He raised his eyebrows, looking at the spoon in his hand, unsure whether to continue drinking?
Or¡
Continue drinking?
¡°Cough!¡±
Huo Senior coughed loud and clear.
As a warning.
Who expected Madam Huo to look at him, ¡°Old man, do you want to drink bullwhip soup too?¡±
¡°Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!¡± Huo Senior was choked and coughed even louder..

Finally, dinner ended. Huo Zhexi was the first to push his bowl and chopsticks aside and leave.
The old Master Huo solemnly spoke, ¡°Ashen,e to the study with me.¡±
¡°We¡¯ve already said there¡¯s no talking about business in the house. Can¡¯t you be a little considerate at thiste hour?¡± the old Madame Huo was very unhappy.
Master Huo was truly fed up with his wife, but he didn¡¯t want to argue in front of the younger generation. He could only give her a fierce look, and stomp off.
Huo Jingshen put down the napkin, he told Su Wanwan, ¡°You can go back to the room first.¡±
Su Wanwan had just stood up.
¡°Clean yourself up and wait for me.¡±
Su Wanwan froze on the spot, her face turning as red as a monkey¡¯s bottom.
Damn it!
Can¡¯t this guy stop speaking so seriously when he¡¯s saying things that are easily misunderstood?
With Madame Huo¡¯s ambiguous gaze on her, Su Wanwan tried to exin, ¡°Uh, what he meant was that he¡¯s going to change the dressing on my legter.¡±
Her leg was injured, surely the old Madame wouldn¡¯t let her mind wander?
Madame Huo immediately nodded as if pounding on garlic, ¡°I understand, I understand everything. Wanwan, quickly go back to your room, take a shower.¡±
Su Wanwan:
The more said, the worse it got.
Whatever.
She should just return to her room.
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, a gloomy voice sounded from behind her.
¡°Stay where you are!¡±
Su Wanwan turned around, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Huo Zhexi stood at the other end of the corridor, his hands in his trouser pockets, ring at her with fish-like eyes, ¡°Where¡¯s my car?¡±
¡°It¡¯s at Su Family¡¯s home, I forgot to drive it back.¡±
Huo Zhexi snorts coldly, ¡°Stinky girl, do you think I can¡¯t discipline you?¡±
Su Wanwan held back herughter, and spoke in a peaceful tone: ¡°Thest time I injured you, it was because I was drunk. I¡¯m sorry for that, and now, I take this opportunity to formally apologize to you: sorry! From now on, we¡¯ll let bygones be bygones since we¡¯re all family¡¡±
¡°Who the hell is family with you!¡± Huo Zhexi irritably interrupted, ¡°My eldest brother only just returned to the country and doesn¡¯t understand the situation. Once he gets tired of ying with you, he will definitely dump you sooner orter. Do you really believe that you can be my sister-inw forever? Pah! Who¡¯s given you the audacity? Do you honestly think that your beauty will captivate my brother forever?¡±
Since he was being rude, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t feel the need to be polite either. She suddenly hardened her expression, her voice cold, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I will always be your sister-inw, but right now, I am your sister-inw and your elder. If you¡¯re not happy with that, go find your eldest brother. Is yammering at me really going to do anything? Aren¡¯t you weary of whining like a woman even though you¡¯re a grown man in his twenties?¡±
¡°You¡you¡¡±
Huo Zhexi went red in the face, so angry his hands were shaking.
Damn it, if he could find Huo Jingshen, would he be wasting his time here?
In this family, the person he feared second most after the old Master Huo was his eldest brother.
Huo Zhexi had nothing to say for a little while, and finally managed to grunt out: ¡°Just you wait!¡±
After speaking, he returned to his room, mming the door in a resounding crash.
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched involuntarily.
This blockhead¡
Subconsciouslyparing him with Huo Jingshen, it was clear that the gap between them was vast.
Huo Jingshen might be a bit shameless, crude, beastly, and a rogue¡
Uhh, but at least he was diligent in his work and rarelyughed or spoke. On the surface, he seemed very meticulous and reliable.
But as for Huo Zhexi, he was just a rich second-generation kid with no brains!
She couldn¡¯t help but worry for his parents¡
Su Wanwan shook her head, and opened the door to her room.
Checking the time, it was eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Should she take a bath first or y a few rounds of her online game?
Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and quickly answered, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Wanwan.¡± A flirtatious voice came from the phone. ¡°You haven¡¯t been out to y with me for several days. Have you been busy getting cozy with your husband, Mr Huo, every day?¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Mo Xiaose, can you be more appropriate, I¡¯m injured¡¡±
¡°Injured? What happened?¡± Mo Weiyi immediately got serious.
¡°Nothing much, just a minor injury, a bit of scraped skin.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi abruptly changed the subject, ¡°Are you going to the wedding of the dog-couple?¡±
¡°You think I have a choice?¡±
Even though she really didn¡¯t want to go.
¡°Alright then, I received the invitation too. Originally, I didn¡¯t want to give the Xing Family face by showing up, but since you¡¯re participating, of course I will go too. At that time, dress up really nicely, you have to stun everyone, and bring your handsomely excruciating Mr. Huo. I will get Xiaobai to arrange some reporters, who will only interview you two and ignore the couple. That¡¯ll certainly piss them off!¡±
Su Wanwan:

Lishui Bay Vi.
On the first floor living room, Mo Weiyi picked up her mobile phone and nced at the time.
Her father had just called Xiao Yebai in for a talk, and it had already been an hour. Had they not finished yet?
She had no choice but to put down her phone and pick up the half-read detective novel. She¡¯d only turned two pages when the door to the study was abruptly opened.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes brightened, and she quickly got up. ¡°Xiaobai¡¡±
The first to emerge was Mo Yaoxiong.
In his early forties, his square face was strained and his nasbial lines deep and stern. His current silence made him seem particrly severe.
¡°Dad.¡± Mo Weiyi halted her steps and obediently greeted him.
Mo Yaoxiong looked at her. His voice was low and contained traces of anger, ¡°Listen to Yebai from now on. If you dare to cause any more trouble, you¡¯re moving back into the old Mo Family house!¡±
¡°I know, Dad.¡± Mo Weiyi pouted coquettishly, ¡°You were abroad for so long, and you didn¡¯t bring me any gifts when you came back, yet all you do is scold me!¡±
Mo Yaoxiong frowned, looking at his adorable, innocent daughter, unable to say anything.
¡°Okay, Dad, I¡¯m going to go back in then, okay?¡± Mo Weiyi said, waving cheerfully at him.
Mo Yaoxiong shook his head and swiftly left.
Mo Weiyi immediately ran to open the study door. ¡°Xiaobai!¡±
An acrid smell of smoke hit her.
The study only had one dim light on. Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa in the soft glow, his head lowered, a cigarette between his slender, straight fingers.
¡°Xiaobai, what did Dad talk to you about?¡±
Mo Weiyi walked over and realized that the carpet had water stains, tea leaves, and pieces of a broken teacup.
She frowned, turning to Xiao Yebai, ¡°Xiaobai, are you hurt?¡±
She raised the man¡¯s face.
Just as she thought, his handsome face was dripping blood. One spot on his forehead was especially terrifying, blood beads were still oozing out from the wound.
¡°Did Dad do this?¡± Mo Weiyi was shocked and distressed, her eyes welled up with tears, she said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m going to find him!¡±
Just as she started to rise, her wrist was held, Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice raspy, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±
¡°You¡¯re hurt like this, and you¡¯re saying it¡¯s alright?¡± Mo Weiyi was both angry and confused, ¡°Why would he hit you with a teacup? What on earth happened?¡±
She frowned delicately, not understanding.
Ever since Xiaobai hade to the Mo family, her father had always been nice to him. It was no exaggeration to say that he treated Xiaobai like his own son. Why had he unexpectedly be so angry today¡
She suddenly thought back to what Mo Yaoxiong had said before he left.
¡°Was it because of the matter fromst time, when I asked you to have the police investigate Gui Mansion? But¡ it¡¯s been so long since then, and that case has been closed, why is Dad suddenly¡¡±
¡°Go get the first aid kit.¡± Xiao Yebai interrupted her, and then added, ¡°It¡¯s in the second drawer under the coffee table.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
Mo Weiyi soon came back with the first aid kit.
She squatted beside him, carefully cleaning and bandaging his wound.
From start to finish, Xiao Yebai sat there, still as a statue.
Finally, the wound was dealt with.
Mo Weiyi looked at the handsome, aloof man in front of her and suddenly spoke adorably, ¡°Whose boyfriend is this? So stylish! Even when injured, he looks so handsome!¡±
Xiao Yebai flicked his gaze onto her, his ck eyes unblinkingly staring back at her.
Her pale face glowed pink with adorableness, a sweet smile on her lips, honey colored curls falling from her shoulders, her beautiful eyes like a cat¡¯s, disying unabashed, infatuated affection for him.
She was utterly innocent and naive.
Mo Weiyi often thought: Her Xiaobai was a perfect example of a ssy gentleman turned rogue.
He always seemed indifferent, as if he didn¡¯t really care about anything. But since they got married, she discovered a different side to Xiaobai.
Sometimes he was assertive, sometimes overbearing, and sometimes¡even a little brutal.
And she, she just loved this paradoxical Xiaobai.
The room was silent.
In the light filtering in, Mo Weiyi was sound asleep.
Her face was serene, even in sleep, her lips curved in a slight smile, like a little princess oblivious to the harshness of the world.
Haha.
Sometimes, the destinies of people are really quite unfair.
A shadow of a smile traced across his thin lips. The man¡¯s smile was detached, his eyes full of cold mockery..

Huo Jingshen returned to his room, greeted by the sound of running water.
He shut the door and nced around without thinking.
This was the bedroom he used to live in. It¡¯s small, so the bathroom is also small, the shower was located facing the door.
So, at this moment, through the semi-transparent frosted ss door, the warm light inside the room projected directly.
It was somewhat suggestive.
Cough,cough.
Unfortunately, the timing was off.
The little girl is slightly wounded and needed a few more days to recover.
He coughed lightly, walked over to the coffee table, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
Soon, the room was filled with a faint smell of tobo, the lure of nicotine slightly calming him, but it did notst long¡
A click, the room door was opened, and Su Wanwan stepped out.
Seeing Huo Jingshen smoking over there, Su Wanwan also froze.
What the-!
She thought Huo¡¯s old man would have at least an hour¡¯s business talk with him, but it ended quickly.
But going back now seemed to be too much, after all, they were already married.
So she blinked, calmly walked to the table and sat down, applying skin toner.
Through a thin cloud of smoke, Huo Jingshen squinted at her.
After bathing, her long ck curly hair was pulled into a high bun.
After Su Wanwan finished her skincare routine, she turned around and met someone¡¯s bottomless gaze.
She was taken aback momentarily.
She hurriedly got up to find her pajamas.
This afternoon, Aunt Liu had sent a suitcase which Su Wanwan half squat to reach for and rummaged through for her nightgown.
Smelling the pungent smoke, she stood up abruptly and mmed the suitcase shut, ¡°Can¡¯t you refrain from smoking in the bedroom? Show some courtesy, won¡¯t you?¡±
After saying that, she waved the nightgown in mid-air, ¡°You should take a bath, you stink! You¡¯ve gotten the smell of smoke all over you!¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, stubbed out the cigarette, ¡°Don¡¯t put on your pajamas yet, I¡¯ll help you apply the medicer.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡.¡±
She really admired his way of speaking, which was inappropriate for children. He stayed calm while her face turned beet red.
If this were a battle of thick-skinned, she¡¯d have lost for sure!
Huo Jingshen chuckled, stopped teasing her, and got up to go into the bathroom.
While he was showering, Su Wanwan hurriedly changed into her pajamas and took out yesterday¡¯s medicine bottle.
She decided to apply the medicine herself.
It¡¯s better than letting him take advantage of her!
While she was figuring out how to apply it, her mobile rang again.
This time it was a local unknown number.
Su Wanwan answered impatiently, ¡°Hello!¡±
¡°Wanwan, it¡¯s me.¡±
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me, your cousin, can¡¯t you recognize my voice?¡± Qiao Zixin¡¯s passionate and coquettish voice came.
Qiao Zixin?
Su Wanwan wondered, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
This cousin had always had little interaction with her and was closer to Su Yanyan.
As a matter of fact, other than Grandpa Su, the entire Su family had always disliked Su Wanwan.
¡°I was thinking ¨C you¡¯ve been back for a while and as your cousin, I haven¡¯t even invited you to a meal. I thought I should. Do you have time tomorrow? I want to invite you and brother-inw for a meal.¡±
¡°A meal?¡± Su Wanwan smiled, ¡°No need.¡±
Perhaps not expecting her outright refusal, Qiao Zixin stammered for a bit before immediately saying, ¡°Not free tomorrow? Then you set the time ¨C I¡¯m always avable.¡±
Su Wanwan leaned leisurely against the headboard, sensing that her enthusiasm was a little strange.
Why would a rtive who has never been fond of you suddenly invite you to dinner?
Ha!
Undue favor, suspicion of trickery!
¡°Cousin, don¡¯t you have to work?¡±
¡°My job is pretty easy, and my boss isn¡¯t strict. My office is near World Trade Sky City.. Let¡¯s find a ce nearby and you and brother-inw let me know when you are free, okay?¡±
Chapter 68 - 68: 068, private investigation
Chapter 68: private investigation
Trantor: 549690339
¡°But I¡¯m afraid I might be busy tomorrow.¡± Su Wanwan intentionally remarked.
¡°Then the day after tomorrow, whenever you¡¯re avable.¡± Qiao Zixin made a point to amodate her.
Su Wanwan thought for a moment and kept on probing, ¡°But these few days, I might not be free.¡±
¡°I see.¡± Qiao Zixin sounded a bit disappointed, ¡°Well¡ why don¡¯t you add me on WeChat first? It will make contacting each other easier. You can use my phone number.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
Qiao Zixin chattered on about the past. Su Wanwan listened unenthusiastically, questioning whether she was ever so close with her.
Not until the bathroom door was suddenly flung open did she react, ¡°I have something to do, I¡¯ll hang up.¡±
¡°Babe, could you pass me my pajamas?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice drifted over just then.
What the heck, this jerk!
Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone.
Such a loudmouth, who knew if Qiao Zixin overheard on the other end?
***
On the other end of the phone, even after it had gone dead, Qiao Zixin was still holding her phone, reluctant to let go.
¡°Babe, could you pass me my pajamas?¡±
Was he taking a shower?
Immediately, an image of Huo Jingshen¡¯s cold and captivating face flitted through her mind, along with that of his close to 1.9-meter-tall impable figure.
As far as she, who was experienced in the ways of men, was concerned, Huo Jingshen could be considered a top-tier male model.
Moreover, she could tell he worked out regrly.
Although a height of 1.9 meters was considered slightly taller among Asian men, his upright posture, noble aura, and powerful presence naturally made him appear superior.
Such a man could allure any woman with his looks alone, let alone his family background.
And Qiao Zixin admitted, she was love at first sight with Huo Jingshen!
Especially after their second encounter at Su Family¡¯s house tonight, she couldn¡¯t contain her excitement. After listening to what Xing Siqing had to say in the car, she immediately went home and searched for all news and information about Huo Jingshen.
She was eager to learn everything about him.
However, she did not find much. Only news about him taking over the Huo Yuan Group after returning to Y Country and the introduction of his Yunda Investment Group in Y Country.
In European media, he was dubbed a ¡°Business prodigy¡±, and alongside his business partner Fu Xihan, they were acimed as the ¡°Chinese Gemini¡± in the European investment scene.
With their keen eye for investment and exceptional audacity and ambition, they invested in numerous seemingly hopeless projects that surprised everyone by turning impressive profits. In their twenties, they became the heads of listedpanies. Not even thirty, and their wealth had already surpassed billions, leading the Forbes rich list.
It could be said that, despite their young age, they had achieved sess that every man dreams to achieve in his lifetime.
The fact that such a perfect and outstanding man got snatched away by Su Wanwan was simply preposterous!
And she noticed that there was hardly any news about Huo Jingshen¡¯s private life. The only piece of gossip she found was the announcement of his marriage to Su Wanwan at Su Family¡¯s house.
She paid particr attention to the date of that news ¨C it was just a dozen or so days ago.
That is to say, the two of them had been married for just over ten days.
Suddenly, Qiao Zixin realized that her cousin seemed to be really crafty, having hooked such a prime specimen of a man just within ten days of returning to the country.
Compared to her sister, Su Yanyan¡¯s methods and taste in men were simply miles apart!

Su Wanwan had no idea that Qiao Zixin was imagining her husband at that moment.
Right now, she was feeling annoyed. Even during showers, he needed her to fetch this and that, does he not have hands?
Can¡¯t he get everything ready beforehand?
He¡¯s clearly doing this on purpose!
¡°Babe.¡±
Seeing Su Wanwan unresponsive, Huo Jingshen started calling out again.
Su Wanwan t out yelled, ¡°So annoying! Get whatever you want yourself!¡±
Then, the sound of footsteps echoed.
Su Wanwan turned around outright, picked up her phone, opened TikTok, and started watching videos in a show of defiance.
Anyway, she just wanted to ignore him at that moment.
TikTok¡¯s background music was upbeat. She deliberately turned the volume up high, and whenever she saw a funny video, she wouldugh along.
Engrossed in her viewing, her phone was suddenly snatched away.
¡°What are you doing? Why are you taking my phone?¡± Su Wanwan immediately red at him.
Huo Jingshen simply turned off the phone and tossed it aside, ¡°Too noisy.¡±
¡°Then let it be! Who are you to meddle in what I do? Even watching TikTok is none of your business!¡± Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing her temper.
What she hated most was being controlled by others!
From a young age, Su Yuntang would forbid her to do this and that, he would find fault with everything she did.
The reaction was a rebellion.
On top of his tant favoritism towards Su Yanyan, Su Wanwan wasn¡¯t happy and became even more rebellious, spending the majority of her adolescence shing against him.
¡°Why are you so annoying? Can¡¯t you not be like my dad?¡±
¡°The soundproofing in the room isn¡¯t good.¡±
Huo Jingshen casually dropped a line that silenced Su Wanwan immediately. Um.
It wouldn¡¯t be good if they argued loudly and the olddy overheard, misunderstanding something else¡
Seeing how quickly the girl reigned herself in, Huo Jingshen sounded pleased, ¡°Good girl.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Before she could answer, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows and stretched his hand under the covers, pulling out a small green medicine bottle.
Su Wanwan blinked in surprise.
Darn it, she almost forgot¡.
Chapter 69 - 69: 069, Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again.
Chapter 69: Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again.
Trantor: 549690339
The look on Huo Jingshen¡¯s face seemed even more satisfied, ¡°The medicine is ready, do you want your husband to apply it for you?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She wanted to apply it herself, but she forgot because she was interrupted by a call from Qiao Zixin.
Huo Jingshen had alreadymanded, he hinted with his eyes, ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±
Su Wanwan again:
Shit, this is so embarrassing!
How much longer is this embarrassment going tost?
Su Wanwan wanted to curse, but¡
Thinking about the poor sound instion in the old house, I¡ held it in!
She began to chant silently in her heart, ¡°One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep¡¡±
Finally, when the medication was applied, Huo Jingshen put the small green bottle on the shelf.
Looking at Su Wanwan, who instantly looked like she was facing a great enemy, he smirked, ¡°Does my darling really take grandma¡¯s painstaking efforts in vain?¡±
¡°Piss off!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s face surged with heat, but she was afraid of being heard by the elderly people next door. So, she lowered her voice and angrily replied, ¡°Deserved it! Are you a pig? Who let you drink so much soup just now!¡±
He actually drank tworge bowls of¡ ox whip soup!
Unbelievable!
It would be strange if he didn¡¯t have a fever now!
¡°Grandma is so old, I can¡¯t let her down.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke ceremoniously.
Su Wanwan was so annoyed that she couldn¡¯t speak.
What kind of man did she marry?
Is there still time to get a divorce?
She! Wants! A! Divorce!
***
Early the following morning.
¡°Have breakfast, I¡¯ll take you back to the Imperial Court.¡±
The man¡¯s deep maic voice interrupted her thoughts.
Su Wanwan lifted her face, ring at the makeup mirror in front of her.
In the mirror, Huo Jingshen was standing in front of the dressing mirror, tying his tie.
He was still dressed in his usual white shirt and ck trousers, slightly raising his chin, his fingers moving smoothly and elegantly.
Standing tall, he looked like a handsome, sessful man.
Whether it was his eyes or fingers, they were all clean and refreshing.
Who would think that such a gentlemanly man is actually aplete hypocrite?
¡°I have to go to the office during the day, call me if you need anything.¡± After tying his tie, Huo Jingshen approached her to ruffle her hair.
Su Wanwan abruptly dodged him, turning her back to him.
But Huo Jingshen seemed to be in a good mood, not angry at all. He spoke to her with a smile, ¡°Behave, I¡¯ll take you to pick out a dress tonight.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly turned her head back, ring at him with her bright, beautiful eyes and gritted her teeth, pronouncing each word, ¡°I! Don¡¯t! Need!¡±
Su Xueqin had already ordered a dress for her. It was just due to the chaosst night that she forgot to bring it back.
She doesn¡¯t need favors from this hypocrite!
¡°Then just apany the husband to try it.¡± Having said that, Huo Jingshen left.
Su Wanwan hummed towards the door, waved her fist, then picked up her phone to call home.

At the Su household¡¯s vi.
After picking up the phone, Auntie Yang began to hunt around in the living room for Su Wenwen¡¯s dress.
¡°Auntie Yang, Good morning.¡±
Yang raised her head and asked hurriedly, ¡°Xiaowei, have you seen the Young Miss¡¯s dress?¡±
The maid, Xiaowei, shook her head.
She was a university student at Nancheng University. In order to earn tuition, she was doing temporary hourly work at the Su¡¯s house during the summer vacation, and she was only responsible for the day shift.
¡°Strange, I remember clearly that Miss left the dress here yesterday, why is it gone now?¡± Auntie Yang wondered. ¡°I¡¯ll go look in the old man¡¯s room, Xiaowei, can you help me check the soup in the kitchen?¡±
¡°Alright, Auntie Yang.¡±
As Auntie Yang entered the room, Su Yanyan came downstairs.
¡°Second Mistress.¡± Xiaowei greeted her promptly.
A big yawn escaped Su Yanyan¡¯s mouth as shezily instructed, ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiaowei. Yesterday, I asked Auntie Yang to put the dresses in the guest room. Move them out, the wedding is tomorrow and I want to do a final check.¡±
¡°Yes, Second Mistress.¡±
Xiaowei busied herself in the guest room, moving out the boxes of dresses one after the other.
Suddenly.
¡°This is my sister¡¯s dress, right?¡± Su Yanyan suddenly pointed at one of the yellow boxes and asked..
Chapter 70 - 70: 070, Fragrant warning: Call husband!
Chapter 70: Fragrant warning: Call husband!
Just as Su Yanyan was leaving, Auntie Yang emerged from the house, ¡°Finally found it. Xiaowei, hurry up and call for a courier to send the gown over to Miss Su.¡±
Xiaowei: ¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Courier?¡± Su Yanyan raised an eyebrow, ¡°You want to send a multi-thousand dor gown by courier? If it gets lost along the way, can you afford to pay for it? Even if it doesn¡¯t get lost, if it gets dirty, or wrinkled and she gets upset can you bear the responsibility? She¡¯s not as easygoing as I am.¡±
Auntie Yang and Xiaowei looked at each other.
¡°You should deliver it yourself.¡± Su Yanyan pointed to Xiaowei, ¡°If anything goes wrong, you¡¯ll be the one to answer to.¡±
¡°Okay, Miss Su.¡± Xiaowei could onlyply.

On the other side, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen suggested moving back to the Imperial Court vi.
Lady Huo was averse to the idea at first but decided to agree realizing that sound proofing in this old house wasn¡¯t quite good, which could make intimate moments slightly awkward for the young couple.
Especially since her daughter-inw is young and bashful. She must have felt too embarrassed to be amorous after Lady Huo¡¯s casualment yesterday; hence why it was so quietst night. They probably didn¡¯t enjoy themselves ¡¯ ahem.
Thus, for the sake of holding her great-grandchild soon, Lady Huo weighed her options and agreed.
Huo Jingshen drove back to the Imperial Court vi.
As soon as they entered through therge gate, a running ck shadow could be seen in the distance.
¡°Go tie up the dog!¡± Su Wanwan promptly ordered.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°KO doesn¡¯t bite.¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m afraid of dogs.¡± Su Wanwan admitted somewhat abashed.
The ck Mu Shang car stopped in the garage. By then, KO was already excitedly dashing around the vehicle. Its resonant, excited barks were audible even through the car windows.
¡°Move it away quickly!¡±
Su Wanwan urged restlessly.
Huo Jingshen looked at her calmly and then asked unexpectedly, ¡°What did you call me?¡±???????????????????????????????? 1
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Call me ¡®hubby¡¯.¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°Aren¡¯t you being juvenile?¡±
But Huo Jingshen remained impassive as his dark pupils narrowed, ¡°Will you call me or not?¡±
Su Wanwan red at him intensely.
Immature brat!
She won¡¯t call him!
¡°Ungrateful wench.¡± Huo Jingshen figured, this little girl needed some proper disciplining.
When she needed him, she¡¯d sweetly called him ¡°hubby¡± and acted coquettishly. But when she didn¡¯t need him, she¡¯d ¡°you¡± and ¡°you¡± him with no sense of courtesy. As his wife, she didn¡¯t seem to have any sense of self-awareness. Thinking so, his face suddenly hardened, and his tone turned strict and dominant, ¡°I am your husband. You should call me ¡®hubby¡¯, or ¡®Jingshen¡¯, be it in public or private. If you want to call me ¡®baby¡¯, ¡®dear¡¯, or anything more romantic, I can ept that too.¡±
Chills ran down Su Wanwan¡¯s spine on hearing this.
Baby?
Dear?
She¡¯d rather get bitten by a dog!
Huo Jingshen watched her silently.
The little girl seemed somewhat unconvinced?
Good.
He suddenly stretched out his arm to push open the car¡¯s passenger door.
But halfway through, Su Wanwan caught him.
Looking at Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan coughed twice and then reluctantly called out, ¡°Hubby.¡±
Hmm, as expected, it was both crispy, soft, and¡
Before he could savor the moment, Su Wanwan pushed his arm several times, growing impatient, ¡°Hurry up! I¡¯ve already called you! Quickly tie up the dog!¡± Huo Jingshen:
Su Wanwan red at him, ¡°Hurry up!¡±
Huo Jingshen again:¡±¡¡±
Forget it.
Once will lead to twice.
The more she needs to call him, the sooner she¡¯d get used to it.
With a raised eyebrow, Huo Jingshen finally exited the car.
Fuming, Su Wanwan sat in the car, watching the looming ck-furred monster pounce at him.
But before it could even touch his suit trousers, Huo Jingshen lifted a hand, and the once jubnt German Shepherd instantly calmed down, resorting to crouching in front of him like a yful dog, wagging its big tongue yfully. HUO Jingshen bent over, stroked its furry head a couple of times, then walked off towards the back of the yard, KO trailing behind.
Su Wanwan immediately seized this chance to get out of the car and dash into the vi.
*
*
Huo Jingshen lead KO into its kennel, fitted its cor around its neck, and tied the other end to a pir.
Just as he was about to leave¡
¡°Awwoooo!¡± KO howled.
As if asking: Why do I have to be tied up in the doghouse every time the female owneres home?
Poor doggie!
Huo Jingshen stopped, turned back, and looked at its glowing ck eyes, ¡°Your mom doesn¡¯t like you.¡±
¡°Awwoooo!¡± KO howled mournfully again.
After Huo Jingshen left for thepany, Su Wanwan started to feel bored. With their wedding to be held the next day, she called the driving school to schedule a lesson, hoping to get her driving license before school started. Then she received a call from Qiao Zixin, asking why she hadn¡¯t epted her WeChat friend request.
Su Wanwan had indeed forgotten about this, so she quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯ve been too busy thest few days and forgot. You want to treat me to a meal, right? Let¡¯s do it tonight.¡±
¡°Sure, sure.¡± Qiao Zixin excitedly agreed.
After adding her on WeChat, Qiao Zixin immediately sent her the restaurant¡¯s address.
At five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Su Wanwan arrived for the appointment. It was a French restaurant situated on the top floor of amercial building located in a prime area.
The waiter led her to the reserved booth. Su Wanwan was shocked when she saw where they would be dining.
Has my cousin struck it rich?
It was a window-side table in a revolving restaurant. Dining here allowed you to overlook the entirendscape of Nancheng. Such a dining spot usually required a reservation far in advance and had high service charges.
Not long after Su Wanwan sat down, Qiao Zixin arrived..

A low-cut strapless red dress hugged her bodacious, curvy body, revealing her alluring, mature allure.
Her hair was stylishly done, with carefully applied makeup on her face. She also wore a matching set of earrings, a ne, and a bracelet that made quite the statement.
When she walked in, she clearly attracted the attention of the men nearby due to her eye-catching ensembles.
Once seated, Qiao Zixin smiled and broke the silence, ¡°What, Mr. Huo isn¡¯t here yet?¡±
Looking cheerful, Su Wanwan replied, ¡°My husband is busy at work, so I didn¡¯t invite him.¡±
¡°¡What?¡± Qiao Zixin barely hid her disappointment, and her smile slightly froze.
She had deliberately taken a half-day off, went all the way to a club she would usually never splurge at, hired the most expensive stylist, Tony, and donned her most expensive designer dress!
But Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t show up!
The little brat didn¡¯t even say a word. Was it all on purpose?
Did she know about her ulterior motives?
But that couldn¡¯t be. She hadn¡¯t given away any signs, hadn¡¯t even had a one-on-one conversation with Huo Jingshen. There was no way she had been figured out.
¡°Let¡¯s order,¡± said Su Wanwan.
¡°¡Alright,¡± Qiao Zixin had no choice but to agree.
She had only been to this ce once with a rich young man and had reserved this table through some connections. There was no way to get her reservation back.
There¡¯s also a minimum spending requirement ¨C a casual meal here can cost up to two or three thousand. It seemed like she was going to bleed money today.
[What are you up to?] Su Wanwan suddenly received a message from Mo Weiyi.
She casually snaps a picture and sends it over.
[Wow, having a candlelit dinner with your husband, Mr. Huo? How romantic!]
Su Wanwan replies:[No, my cousin is treating me to dinner.]
[Your cousin? Is it that Qiao Zixin who used to sic the dogs on you when you were little?]
Mo Weiyi responded with a long string of words [Unexpected kindness is most likely a trick. She¡¯s treating you to such a fine Western dinner. Be careful. Eat more, speak less. She¡¯s possibly using you to get a job from Mr. Huo. Probably trying to get a backdoor job.]
Su Wanwan:
[She used to ignore you, but now that you¡¯re married into the Huo family, she rushes to suck up to you. I loathe such opportunistic rtives. Order a lot of expensive dishes. Let her foot a big bill!]
Su Wanwan grinned and sent a single-worded reply.
[Okay.]
¡°Cousin, we should get a bottle of Lafite!¡±
Qiao Zixin¡¯s hand faltered, and she quicklyughed it off, ¡°Wanwan, it¡¯s just the two of us. We don¡¯t really need to drink, do we?¡±
¡°It¡¯s rare for my cousin to treat me, we should definitely have some wine to celebrate. Plus, whatever we don¡¯t finish can be stored here.¡±
Finishing her words, Su Wanwan looked up at the waiter and smiled, ¡°Please bring us your best Lafite. Thank you.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Qiao Zixin:¡±¡¡±
She wanted to curse!
Then, Su Wanwan went on to order several of the restaurant¡¯s signature dishes: foie gras, lobster,mb chops, snails, caviar¡
Each dish she ordered made Qiao Zixin¡¯s heart pound in anxiety, and her hand left nail marks on her palm.
It¡¯s all about money!
Finally, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore¡
¡°Wanwan!¡± Qiao Zixin abruptly grabbed the menu, ¡°That¡¯s enough, isn¡¯t it? It¡¯s just the two of us.¡±
Su Wenwen looked at her, ¡°Alright.¡±
Soon as she let go of the menu¡
¡°One more Coq au Vin, please.¡± Su Wanwen finished, smiling slightly, ¡°Now that¡¯s enough.¡±
Qiao Zixin:
She wanted to hit someone!
Soon, the exquisite food started rolling out one after the other.
Watching Su Wanwan relishing the foie gras in her cheap t-shirt and jeans, Qiao Zixin felt like her heart was bleeding.
Because of Su Xueqin, she also majored in journalism in college. However, she didn¡¯t get a good job after graduation.
Su Yunrong was just an associate professor at Nancheng University, Qiao Jianye was a deputy section chief, and her grandpa and uncle disliked using connections for career advances. So, she ended up working at a magazinepany.
Although she worked in an office building nearby, her monthly sry was just a little over ten thousand. But wasn¡¯t this one meal going to cost her thousands?
It was as if they were slicing off her flesh!
But Su Wanwan seemed to be having a good time.
She noticed that Qiao Zixin wasn¡¯t as warm and chatty as she was over the phone. Instead, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
That¡¯s fine by her; she could enjoy her food without having to talk.
When she finished thest dessert, Su Wanwan put down her spoon, ¡°This rum ice cream was nice. Cousin, can I order another one?¡±
Qiao Zixin¡¯s smile was rigid, ¡°Wanwan, girls shouldn¡¯t eat too many cold and refreshing food, it¡¯s bad for the body.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s summer anyway.¡± Su Wanwan sounded innocent. After her words, she pressed the service bell.
As Qiao Zixin watched her, her smile remained on the surface, but her fingers were tightly knotted under the table. Internally, she was cursing her: Go on, keep eating until you be a big fatso!
The ice cream quickly arrived, and Su Wanwan enjoyed it at a leisurely pace.
Another ten minutes passed, and Qiao Zixin lost her patience.
French restaurants already had long waiting times. From the moment she sat down, she had wasted a full two hours here, and been fleeced in the process!
The person she wanted to meet never showed up!
Qiao Zixin picked up her phone, pretended to tap a few times, then abruptly stood up, ¡°There¡¯s an emergency at the magazine, Wanwan, please continue eating, I have to leave.¡±
¡°Sure,¡± Su Wanwan nonchntly waved her hand, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to pay the bill, cousin. I didn¡¯t bring my purse!¡±
Qiao Zixin¡¯s mouth was twitching in anger.
This damn girl, she¡¯s really taking advantage, and god, thick-skinned!
She took a deep breath and reminded herself: A minor impatience spoils great ns..

Chapter 72: there is only one umbre
Trantor: 549690339
Even though she didn¡¯t get to see Huo Jingshen today, there was always next time.
So, with trembling fingers, she pressed the service bell.
The waiter soon came over, ¡°Your total is 12,885 yuan, miss. Will you be paying by card, cash, or through WeChat or Alipay?¡±
Over ten thousand yuan?!
Qiao Zixin felt like her heart was being cut out as she feigned calmness, ¡°¡I¡¯ll pay with credit card.¡±
¡°Okay, please wait.¡±
Just as the waiter left, Su Wanwan¡¯s phone suddenly rang.
¡°What?!¡±
Not knowing what was said on the other end, Su Wanwan sounded irritated, ¡°Can¡¯t you try it yourself, do you really need me to go? I¡¯m still eating, you¡¯re so annoying!¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯m at¡¡±
After giving the restaurant¡¯s address, she hung up.
Qiao Zixin immediately asked her, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who was that?¡±
¡°My husband,¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t feel like borating.
Qiao Zixin eyes lit up.
When the waiter came back with the card machine, she paid then sat unmoving.
As Su Wanwan was spooning a mouthful of ice cream, she asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you have something important to do?¡±
¡°I just checked WeChat, the situation isn¡¯t serious so they don¡¯t need me there.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Was it that dramatic?
¡°Wanwan, it seems to be raining outside,¡± Qiao Zixin suddenly said.
On hearing this, Su Wanwan looked up.
Indeed, it was raining quite heavily outside. She wondered whether the old man had an umbre?
Qiao Zixin seemed even more delighted. It felt like heaven was helping her out.
After they finished their ice cream, the two of them left, taking the lift down to the ground floor.
Due to the sudden heavy downpour, the first floor lobby was packed with those seeking shelter from the rain.
Qiao Zixin then suggested, ¡°Wanwan, if someone¡¯sing to pick you up, could they give me a lift as well?¡±
-It seems a little out of the way, isn¡¯t it?¡± Su Wanwan remembered Qiao Zixin lived far in the south circle.
Feeling slighted by Su Wanwan¡¯s reply, Qiao Zixin lowered her expectations and said, ¡°Well¡ at least drive me to the subway station.¡±
However, surprisingly¡
¡°Why don¡¯t you just take a taxi?¡±
Qiao Zixin, holding back her temper, exined, ¡°There are too many people, it¡¯s impossible to get a taxi. Plus, my house is so far away, no driver would want to take the job.¡±
Su Wanwan nodded, ¡°I see.¡±
She actually hadn¡¯t thought much about it.
She simply found Huo Jingshen to be rather annoying. He always tried to control her and enjoyed making crude jokes. It would be embarrassing if they started arguing in front of Qiao Zixin.
But Qiao Zixin did treat her to an expensive dinner worth over ten thousand yuan¡
Fine.
She tried to console herself, she would just do a good deed and give her cousin a ride.
Shortly after, a ck Bentley parked at the side of the road.
The car door opened, and a tall, handsome man stepped out, holding a ck umbre.
It was past seven in the evening. It was dark outside, the streetmps just starting to light up. Despite the heavy, misty rain, his slow, confident walk from the rain caught many people¡¯s attention, especially from the women. Qiao Zixin felt a swell of emotion. Where was the frustration she was feeling before?
She stood there, watching as the man approached, his handsome features and elegant demeanor more pronounced in the night. His naturally aloof and noble aura left a deep impact on her, like the most dazzling chandelier, making it impossible for her to look away.
Huo Jingshen walked straight up to Su Wanwan, put his arm around her shoulders, and prepared to leave.
¡°Wanwan.¡± Qiao Zixin quickly spoke up.
Su Wanwan stopped, turned to look at her, ¡°Uh, this is my cousin, can you drop her off at the subway station.¡±
Amid Qiao Zixin¡¯s excited gaze, Huo Jingshen nced at her coldly, his voice low and detached, ¡°There¡¯s only one umbre.¡±
¡°That¡¯s okay, Mr. Huo.¡± Qiao Zixin was considerate in reply. ¡°You can take Wanwan to the car first.¡±
This way, Huo Jingshen would have toe back alone to get her, giving the two a chance to have some intimate contact¡
¡ö¡öYou¡¯ll have to run to the car then,¡± Huo Jingshen said and then left with Su Wanwan.
Qiao Zixin was left standing there, dumbfounded.
What did he say?
That she should run over?
The rain was falling heavily, she had painstakingly styled her hair, applied makeup artfully, and even wore eight-centimeter heels. To run from here to the parked car would be quite a distance!
But¡
The two of them got into the car and did not show signs of getting out to retrieve her.
Determined, Qiao Zixin bit her lip, lifted her skirt up, and dashed into the rain. By the time she finally got into the car, she waspletely soaked, her shoes were even filled with water, and her styled hair was wet and sticking to her head¡
So embarrassing!
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t say a word, he simply started the car and began driving. As she lowered her head, initially feeling disgruntled, she realized that her dress was now clinging to her body, showing off her perfect curves¡ Unconsciously, she straightened herself and raised her head with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I initially nned to treat Wanwan to dinner. I didn¡¯t expect it to start raining so heavily and for me to impose on you. I hope it isn¡¯t causing any inconvenience?¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t reply.
The car was silent.
Qiao Zixin felt a bit awkward.
Back at the Su residence, he¡¯d been perfectly polite, treating Su Yuntang with respect.. So why was he so cold now?
Chapter 73 - 73: 073, is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower?
Chapter 73: is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower?
Trantor: 549690339 I
¡°Wanwan.¡± She had to find something to talk about, ¡°The wedding is going to start at twelve noon tomorrow, don¡¯t forget and bete.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Su Wanwan finished speaking and then suddenly pointed ahead, ¡°You can stop at the subway station ahead.¡±
Qiao Zixin clenched her fists, she wished she could punch through the chair in front of her.
Can¡¯t this annoying girl take her home?
She had already got in the car, was she really going to catch the subway?
She really has no emotional intelligence at all!
She looked towards Huo Jingshen.
The man was focused on driving. From her point of view, his side profile was strong and smooth, the bones of his fingers gripping the steering wheel were clearly defined and aesthetically pleasing. His shoulder line was straight, his back upright, his forearm was firm and sexy.
From head to toe, he was simply the personification of ¡°perfection¡±.
But why did such a perfect man have to fall for Su Wanwan?
Qiao Zixin was very upset.
As the car slowly pulled over to the side of the road, she lifted her right hand, tousled her hair, secretly took off her earring, and forcefully shoved it into the gap in the seat behind her.
The rain outside was still quite heavy.
The ck Mu Shang stopped by the entrance of the subway station.
¡°See you tomorrow, cousin!¡±
Su Wanwan waved her little hand innocently.
Qiao Zixin forced a smile, ¡°Wanwan, Mr. Huo, I¡¯ll get off the car first then, thank you both.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±
The one who spoke was Su Wanwan.
In fact, since she got into the car, Huo Jingshen had not said a single word, he seemed high and aloof¡ as if he was in a world of his own.
Qiao Zixin felt disappointed. She took onest look at the man¡¯s cool and alluring side profile, then opened the door and got out of the car.
The moment the car door closed, the ck Mu Shang drove away. The car sped up so abruptly and quickly that it sshed a puddle of rainwater onto the woman standing by the road, soaking her thoroughly.
Qiao Zixin just stood there in the rain and didn¡¯t move for a long time.
Her hairstyle was ruined, her red dress had been stained and soaked, but there was a deluded and slightly creepy smile on her face.
*
*
Inside the warm car.
Huo Jingshen was still quietly driving, as if nothing had happened just now. The phone suddenly rang, Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, ¡°Grandma.¡± ¡°Wanwan, are you home?¡±
¡°I¡¯m out.¡±
¡°I just found out that the Su Family sent your dress over here, thinking that you might need to wear it tomorrow, so I had Zhexi deliver it to the Imperial Court.¡±
¡°Okay, thank you, grandma.¡±
Su Wanwan hung up the call and looked at the time. It was already eight o¡¯clock.
She would be trying on her dresster, she didn¡¯t know how long it would take. As her thoughts rambled, the Mu Shang drove into an underground garage. After getting out of the car, Huo Jingshen took her to the elevator, straight to the tenth floor.
Stepping out, they were met with the dazzling luxury of a chic storefront, creating a stark contrast with the somber rain outside.
They entered a high-end styling salon.
There weren¡¯t many people. Soft music was ying, and the ck, white, and grey design was low-key yet luxurious.
¡°Good evening, Mr. Huo.¡±
Soon a staff member came over to wee them, his eyes looking straight at Su Wanwan.
Those who frequented this salon were either society¡¯s elitedies or stars of the entertainment industry. Every woman was seeking to outshine the other.
It was the first time he had seen such a pure girl.
She had her hair tied up in a bun, her small bare face looked fresh and tender, tall, thin, and white. Coupled with her simple white T-shirt and jeans, as well as her pure-looking eyes wandering around, she radiated a student-like innocence.
Then he looked at Huo Jingshen, his face was indifferent but he was firmly holding her hand.
True, the more sessful the man, the more he loves younger women!
Su Wanwan indeed rarely went to such ces, so she was curious and looked around a bit. When she turned back, she was already being surrounded by the staff, next to them was hanging a sophisticated long dress.
¡°Mrs. Huo, this piece of dress is the treasure of our store. It¡¯s designed by the French designer Turry¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not trying it,¡± Su Wanwan blurted out.
Huo Jingshen looked at her, his lips parting slightly, ¡°It has already been bought.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Such a spendthrift!
¡°Go try it on.¡±
Although the tone of Huo Jingshen was light, it carried an undeniable authority.
Su Wanwan pursed her lips.
Why not, she had nothing else to do anyway.
She followed the staff into the fitting room.
*

On this side, Huo Jingshen was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.
¡°Nangong Ci invites you to join the group chat WJY¡±.
He ignored it and closed the notification.
¡°Good evening.¡±
¡°Wee!¡±
As soon as Xiang Ranxin entered, she saw the man sitting there.
She paused and turned to leave.
¡°Sis, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Xiang Lili hurriedly held her.
Xiang Ranxin whispered, ¡°It¡¯s toote, let¡¯se back tomorrow.¡±
It s still raining outside, and the driver hasn¡¯t arrived yet, what¡¯s the rush? I saw a dress herest time that I liked, I might as well try it on,¡± Xiang Lili insisted, pulling Xiang Ranxin further inside.
There was a man sitting on the sofa. He was in a shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and even had a tie on, looking extremely meticulous.
He was looking at his phone, his face handsome, his features sharply defined.
He was elegant, but also a bit aloof.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Xiang Lili couldn¡¯t help but gaze at him more intently.
This man was much more appealing than the young boys she had dated before, full of maturity and elegance.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, that dress has already been sold,¡± a staff member quickly came over to tell her.
Xiang Lili¡¯s face immediately darkened, ¡°It¡¯s been sold?¡±
¡°Yes, the customer is currently trying it on.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiang Lili was even more unhappy, ¡°Fine, then I¡¯ll wait for her toe out.¡±
She wanted to see, what kind of woman could afford to spend so much money for such an unwearable dress!
Chapter 74 - 74: 074, an old man’s rotten love affair
Chapter 74: an old man¡¯s rotten love affair
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Sis,e sit.¡±
Xiang Ranxin hesitated a bit before sitting down with her younger sister.
Thest blind date at the Huo Family was like a nightmare, and she heard that Huo Jingshen got married on the spot that day.
After failing two blind dates with the two brothers of the Huo Family, she had be theughing stock of their circle, and she didn¡¯t want to have any contact with the Huo Family anymore.
Perhaps their gazes were too frequent, one was secretly stealing nces while the other was openly watching, Huo Jingshen suddenly raised his eyebrows and then lifted his eyelids.
Their eyes met.
Xiang Ranxin palpitates a beat in her heart, feeling a chill from his narrow, ck eyes.
Before she could react, his gaze had already moved on.

The man¡¯s expression is calm as if¡ he was looking at a total stranger.
Xiang Ranxin felt aplex mix of emotions.
She felt a loss, embarrassment, and most of all, a sigh of relief.
About ten minutester, Su Wanwan finally came out in her dress.
¡°Mr. Huo, are you satisfied?¡±
The employee had a smile on their face, looking hopeful.
Whether Mr. Huo was satisfied or not, she was.
The dress was the gem of the store for two reasons. Firstly, it was too expensive for ordinary people to afford, and secondly, its colour was too particr; ordinary rouge and powder won¡¯t do it justice.
A-list celebrity came in a few days ago wanting it, but after trying it on, she realized that while it enhanced her beauty, it also emphasized her overly mboyant appearance. Feeling itcked elegance, she regretfully gave up on it.
Su Wanwan, on the other hand, had naturally white skin, a delicate skeletal structure, and brilliantly luminous facial features. Being young, she still radiated innocence. The dress was a perfect fit, entuating her charm and elegance, creating an ethereal beauty.
If she made some minor adjustments to her makeup and hair, it would be perfect.
Huo Jingshen stood there, hands in his pockets, eyebrows raised, even his thin lips curved up slightly indicating his satisfaction.
Xiang Lili, who was standing on the side, had seemingly frozen in ce.
A Huo?
In the whole of Nancheng, there was only one Huo family.
Nonchntly buying a dress worth several hundred thousand, dressed as a business elite¡ it couldn¡¯t be Huo Nuanyang.
¡°Sis, could he be Huo Jingshen?¡±
Xiang Ranxin did not deny it.
Xiang Lili immediately clenched her teeth.
Being the youngest daughter of the current mayor, she was more spoiled by her parents than Xiang Ranxin. Coupled with growing up in a political environment, she always looked down on businessmen and nouveau riche.
Her eyes critically assessed Su Wanwan.
She had to admit, Yunjie was naturally good-looking and knew how to use her assets to her advantage by choosing a dress that entuated her beauty.
Beautiful and cunning, no wonder a yboy like Huo Jingshen was hooked. It wasn¡¯t that hard to understand why her silly sister lost to her.
*
*
*
An hour had passed after dressing and undressing.
Once again Su Wanwan came out from the fitting room in a hurry and said, ¡°I need to go to the restroom.¡±
She had eaten two servings of ice cream earlier and now was paying the price.
Su Wanwan stepped out of the stall, still feeling a bit ufortable, could she have gotten her period?
There was already a woman at the sinks, she was wearing a purple sleeveless dress with a ponytail, she looked quite young.
Su Wanwan nced at her and then went to turn on the tap.
Suddenly, the woman next to her turned around and sshed cold water into Su Wanwan¡¯s face.
Everything happened within half a second.
Then, Su Wanwan quickly turned around and pped the woman without a second thought.
The p echoed around, crisp and loud.
She didn¡¯t hold back at all.
Xiang Lili covered her face, eyes wide in surprise, ¡°You¡ you actually dared to hit me?¡±
Ever since she was a child, this was the first time someone had the audacity to p her!
Even her parents had neverid a hand on her!
Because she was too shocked, her voice rose higher, sounding shrill and incredulous.
¡°You like being humiliated, should I not hit you?¡± Su Wanwan replied bluntly.
If it was idental, she wouldn¡¯t have minded.
After all, she was a mature woman, not the reckless girl from two years ago. The two years spent studying in Los Angeles had made her much more tolerable and restrained.
But this woman intentionally scooped a handful of water and tossed it right into her face, did she mistake her for a saint because she seemed innocent and straightforward?
Xiang Lili gritted her teeth, ¡°So you¡¯re a shrew, acting so innocent outside, my sister must be stupid to lose to a bitch like you!¡±
¡°Lili!¡±
Another stall door opened, and Xiang Ranxin almost dashed out to drag her sister away, ¡°What are you doing!¡±
Su Wanwan watched her.
She was wearing a white dress, looking gentle and familiar.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Huo, my sister is still young and doesn¡¯t understand, if she has offended you in any way please understand, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Xiang Ranxin apologized over and over again, then dragged Xiang Lili away.
Xiang Lili was still yelling on the way out, ¡°She stole your man, sis you can¡¯t be this timid, you apologize even after the Huo family bullied you like this, sis show some backbone for once¡¡±
The rest of her words were drowned out by the closing of the door.
Su Wanwan stands in front of the sink, feeling her blood boil with anger.
Turns out this was her old man¡¯s leftover mess.
They just got married a few days ago right?
There were already women sshing water to her face out of resentment.
Soon, would they resort to throwing acid? Or maybe knives?

Huo Jingshen noticed something was off with the young girl again.
From the moment she returned from the restroom, she wore a sullen expression and wouldn¡¯t even let him hold her hand.
Once they got back to the car, Huo Jingshen, noting her damp hair, asked, ¡°Who ticked you off again?¡±
¡°Hmph!¡±
Su Wanwan turned to look out the window.
Huo Jingshen:
This girl!
He promptly started the car and drove off.
To readers! our content is stolen.Please copy and se@rch this link " /39h6j " to support us
Halfway through the drive, someone called, ¡°Are you acting all high and mighty now? We¡¯ve been inviting you round after round and you won¡¯t join our group? It was just a joke, man. Do we all have to kneel and apologize to you now?¡±
¡°Can consider.¡±
¡°Sh*t!¡± Chu Xiuhuang cursed, ¡°Misguided by hormones! Can that little girl be more fun than us brothers?¡±
Huo Jingshen retorted, ¡°I¡¯m not into guys.¡±
In other words, fooling around with the girl was more fun.
¡°Go f*ck yourself!¡± Chu Xiuhuang, now replete with obscenities, instructed, ¡°Get in the group chat now, quit chattering, Little Mingzi ising back to the country tomorrow, bring your girl out tonight and let¡¯s get to know her, we won¡¯t eat her.¡±
¡°I have a wedding to attend tomorrow, how about the day after?¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
Soon, the car drove into the Imperial Court vi.
After parking the car, Su Wanwan pushed open the car door and rushed into the house.
Just as she entered the living room, she heard Huo Zhexi roaring, ¡°You impudent girl, stop right there!¡±
Su Wanwan was in a bad mood and didn¡¯t put on a good face for him, ¡°What now?¡±
¡°Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!¡±
Huo Zhexi violently pulled the dress out of the gift box and threw it on the ground, stomping and kicking at it. ¡°You purposefully hid a needle in the clothes, didn¡¯t you? Were you trying to hurt me on purpose, it hurts like hell!¡±
Upon noticing Huo Jingshen entering from outside, he immediately shut up and politely retracted his foot.
However, a secondter, he came to a startling realization.
Damn!
I¡¯m the victim here, what am I scared of?
I¡¯ve be used to being cowardly.
Huo Jingshen nced at the dress on the floor and then at his hand. He instructed Su Wanwan, ¡°Go upstairs first.¡±
¡°My dress¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll have himpensate.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Huo Zhexi:¡±¡¡±
That being said, Su Wanwan promptly decided to go upstairs.
Huo Zhexi, in a panic, shouted, ¡°Big brother, you can¡¯t just let her go like this. Do you have any idea how she tried to hurt me¡¡±
¡°You touched my wife¡¯s dress?¡± Huo Jingshen coldly interrupted.
Huo Zhexi hesitated, his eyes darting around.
¡°My wife already knew that you have a perverted habit of touching women¡¯s clothes? She¡¯s a fortune-teller? So she prepared the needle in advance, waiting for your touch so you can get pricked?¡±
¡°Big Brother,¡± Huo Zhexi¡¯s face alternated between red and white. His voicecked confidence as he replied, ¡°I¡I wasn¡¯t paying attention just now and identally touched it.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°You think I¡¯m as stupid as you are?¡±
¡°How could you belittle me that way, Brother?¡±
Huo Zhexi understood that portion., causing him to frown. He felt like his intelligence had been insulted.
Under Huo Jingshen¡¯s leisurely gaze, Huo Zhexi got angry and confessed all, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I did it on purpose! But wasn¡¯t it because she kept targeting me? She broke my head back then and took my car the other time. Look at the heavy rain pouring outside. I just got home from a hard day¡¯s journey, I hadn¡¯t even had a sip of water, yet Grandma insisted that I deliver the dress to her. Why should I? I am not her maid! Moreover¡¡±
Huo Zhexi, sounding more pitiful by the second, continued, ¡°I just wanted to wrinkle the dress, dirty it a little, and purposely provoke her. Who knew there¡¯d be several needles hidden inside! My fingers have been pricked till they¡¯re bleeding. Look, I¡¯ve lost so much blood¡it hurts so much! That girl is so vicious, big brother. You should be careful. Don¡¯t let her poison you one day¡¡±
The remainder of his sentence was cut short by the gloomy look in the elder male¡¯s eyes.
For a moment, Huo Zhexi felt his legs go weak.
He was still traumatized by the time Huo Jingshen had grabbed his arm at the police station.
Huo Jingshen strode over to pick up the dress from the floor, but soon tossed it back.
¡°Go home,¡± he ordered coolly, ¡°Don¡¯t ever touch my wife¡¯s belongings again.¡±
Huo Zhexi still objected, ¡°What about her hurting me? I want her to apologize.¡±
Huo Jingshen remained indifferent and simply stated, ¡°Whichever finger touched it, I will break it.¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Zhexi felt a chill run down his back.
Damn!
Is this really my own brother?
Is he seriously considering breaking his little brother¡¯s fingers?

Meanwhile, at the Su family vi.
In a second-floor bedroom.
Su Yanyan had gone to bed early that night, but excitement kept her awake.
Tomorrow was her wedding with Xing Yuyun.
From then on, she would be the legitimate wife of the Xing family, Xing Yuyun¡¯s wife!
The thought made her extremely excited, to the point where she couldpletely ignore Xing Yuyun¡¯s recent indifference.
Most importantly, tomorrow she could make Su Wanwan lose face in public.
Being thedy of the prestigious Huo family, yet dressed in a shoddy dress, which due to a grand gesture, tore open leaving her indecently exposed!
Making headlines of gossip news with a wardrobe malfunction scandal!
Tsk, tsk, tsk, even the thought of it was thrilling.
Even if Huo Jingshen could bear the humiliation, the Huo family probably couldn¡¯t, right?
Chapter 76 - 76: 076, Old Man Su is Furious
Chapter 76: Old Man Su is Furious
Trantor: 549690339 |
The following morning at Mingdu Hotel in Nancheng.
In the rest area, Su Yanyan had finished her final touch-ups and stood up assisted by a group of staff members.
¡°Wow, the bride is so gorgeous!¡±
¡°What a perfect figure!¡±
¡°This wedding gown is stunning!¡±
Praise filled the room, making Su Yanyan¡¯s smile even more radiant.
Thinking of what is about to happen at the wedding venue, she felt waves of excitement within her.
She can hardly wait.
The lobby of the hotel was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Xing Yuyun, the eldest son of the Xing family, has handsome looks, promising prospects, and is the wealthiest man in Nancheng. He is also the grandson of the Huo family, one of the ¡°Four Great Aristocratic Families¡±.
Su Yanyan, with her elegant demeanor and graceful poise, had attracted many guests despite the Su family¡¯s modest social standing in Nancheng. Due to Su Xueqin and Su Yuntang¡¯s vastwork, they had invited many friends from the news media and even some celebrities.
The serious attention from both families, coupled with their friends¡¯ support, made this wedding incredibly grand and lively.
When the ¡°Wedding March¡± began to y, Su Yanyan, in her elegant white wedding gown, walked down the red carpet arm in arm with Su Yuntang. The sight instigated a massive wave of reporters to swarm her, their camera shes never ceasing.
The scene hardly differed from a press conference of a major celebrity.
The wedding officiant delivered a speech, parents of both families expressed their thoughts, the newlyweds listened to their vows, exchanged rings then embraced and kissed¡
All of these moments were beautifully carried out.
When both newlyweds retreated backstage for a rest, Su Xueqin finally asked anxiously, ¡°Where is Wanwan? Why isn¡¯t she here yet?¡±
¡°Maybe she got caught in traffic,¡± Jiang Yi exined.
Su Yuntang didn¡¯t say anything but inwardly sneered.
It would be best if that troublemaker didn¡¯te!
After another round of apuse, the newlyweds changed into a different set of clothes for the toast ceremony.
When Su Xueqin looked up, his expression changed instantly, ¡°What the hell is going on?¡±
The phoenix-colored dress that he had personally ordered for Su Wanwan was being worn by Su Yanyan!
¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yi asked.
Su Xueqin red at her angrily, ¡°Exin to me why the dress I ordered for Wanwan is being worn by Yanyan!¡±
The whole table was thrown into confusion by his words.
Jiang Yi was truly astounded, ¡°How could that have happened? Could there have been a mistake?¡±
¡°A mistake? Whose mistake?¡± Su Xueqin fixated his gaze on her, ¡°You and Yanyan were responsible for the dresses, so if there was a mistake, it was your mistake! Tell me what happened!¡±
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words, ¡°Dad, I¡ I really don¡¯t know anything about
this, I have no idea what happened.¡±
With a cold humph, Su Xueqin¡¯s anger reached new heights.
When Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun walked over holding their wine sses, he went straight to the point, ¡°Yanyan, what is going on?¡±
Su Yanyan felt a little guilty but kept up her innocent smile, ¡°Grandpa, what are you talking about?¡±
¡®Tm asking you about the dress you¡¯re wearing!¡± Su Xueqin pressed urgently.
Su Yanyan nced down as if realizing something, ¡°Oh, are you talking about this dress, Grandpa? I just found it when I returned to the changing room I had only tried on western-style gowns before and I don¡¯t know why I ended up with this Chinese-style one to toast. It might be due to the same color that the maid confused them. I was afraid that it would dy the auspicious time, so I put it on anyway.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you know this was Wanwan¡¯s dress?¡± Su Xueqin wasn¡¯t convinced.
Su Yanyan had prepared her answer beforehand, ¡°Grandpa, you never opened the box containing the dress you gave to big sis, so I had no idea what her dress looked like. How was I to know that the maids had mixed them up? If you¡¯re unhappy about this, I can trade mine with hers once she arrives¡¡±
¡°Which maid?¡± Su Xueqin sharply interrupted.
Su Yanyan repliedposedly, ¡°Xiaowei.¡±
¡°Call her here!¡±
¡°Okay¡¡±
¡°Old Chap.¡± Huo Qinyu intervened, ¡°Everyone is watching. Let Yanyan and Yuyun continue their toast. We can sort this outter, it¡¯s just a dress.¡±
¡°Yes, we can exin it to Wanwanter, she will understand,¡± Xing Guozhi also tried to mediate.
Considering the ongoing wedding ceremony, bridesmaids and groomsmen nearby, VIP guests at the neighboring table, and many journalists in the hall.
Because of Su Xueqin¡¯s loud voice, quite a few people had turned their eyes in their direction. It wouldn¡¯t look good if this minor misunderstanding were to reach the media.
¡°No wonder Wanwan isn¡¯t here yet, it¡¯s because you¡¯ve been plotting behind her back! You deliberately switched the dresses, you did it on purpose!¡± Su Xueqin was so angry that his voice was shaking.
¡°Dad, what are you implying?¡± Su Yuntang expressed his innocence and helplessness, ¡°I really knew nothing about this. Our house has been so busy with the wedding preparations. It¡¯s normal to mix things up.¡±
¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough,¡± the old Master Xing, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice, ¡°Xueqin, let the children do their toast first.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to make a spectacle over such a trivial matter.
¡°Yes, let¡¯s not dy the auspicious time,¡± added old Lady Xing.
But Su Xueqin continued to frown, unable to swallow this insult.
Su Yanyan lowered her head in silence.
As seconds passed, the atmosphere gradually became more tense.
Everyone had stopped toasting and speaking, which provoked many curious nces and whispers.
Qiao Zixin and Xing Siqing, serving as bridesmaids, could only stand on the side awkwardly.
¡°Old chap,¡± said Huo Qinyu, frowning, ¡°Yanyan is pregnant and wearing high heels. She can¡¯t stand for too long¡¡±
Just then, they heard amotion from the front.
¡°Wanwan!¡±
At the neighboring table, Mo Weiyi was the first to raise his voice.
Su Yanyan¡¯s heart started to beat wildly.
Has Wanwan finally arrived?
She hurriedly looked over.
But the next second, her perfectly made-up face twisted with surprise and displeasure..

Chapter 77: Wanwan makes a stunning appearance
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan entered along with Huo Jingshen, but Su Yanyan¡¯s gaze waspletely focused on Su Wanwan.
She was dressed in an ankle-length, lotus-pink gown, embellished with tiny crystals and an outeryer of transparent chiffon. The lightweight fabric entuated her graceful figure as she moved, oozing sublime elegance.
Her waist-length, seaweed-like ck curls cascaded down her back, with a purposely woven top and loose strands framing her face and neck. This only enhanced her delicate and petite facial features. Along with her makeup matching the color of her gown, she appeared to be radiating yet pure and sweet.
A jade and diamond ne adorned her graceful neck, matching her attire perfectly.
Further enhancing her appearance were jade bangles matching her dress on her wrist. They refracted a dazzling yet warm glow under the crystal chandelier of the hotel lobby, as if dividing the boundary between nobility and celestial aura.
Compared to the garish colors of the hall, herte arrival naturally attracted people¡¯s attention. Besides, her fresh and unique style gave her-an ethereal charm that stole the show.
Journalists who knew Huo Jingshen flocked around them to take photos, causing a sensation that instantly attracted the attention of all the guests, leaving the bride and groom forcelessly aside.
It seemed like Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan were the real protagonists of the day.
Su Yanyan even heard ongoing discussions:
¡°Isn¡¯t she wearing a dress designed by Turry?¡±
¡°That ne seems like imperial jade!¡±
¡°Even the bracelet!¡±
¡°Such brilliance has blinded my dog eyes!¡±
¡°Her outfit must be worth tens of millions?¡±
Why?
Su Yanyan was so angry that she trembled the wine ss in her hand.
Why didn¡¯t Su Wanwan wear the dress she had tampered with?
Instead, this meticulously styled outfit and expensive jewelry seemed intent on upstaging her!
When Su Wanwan¡¯s gaze seemed to flit over here, Su Yanyan, feeling guilty, moved her gaze away subconsciously, but then¡
She saw Xing Yuyun looking at Su Wanwan.
His gaze was focused, unmoving, not blinking, as if¡
He was mesmerized!
Su Yanyan couldn¡¯t control the surge of jealousy and resentment in her heart. Her nails pierced into her palm, causing sharp pain.
¡°Wanwan.¡± Su Xueqin beckoned Su Wanwan over.
Any prior difort vanished, and upon seeing the handsome couple of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, Su Xueqin beamed with joy, showering them withpliments. ¡°My granddaughter looks so beautiful today.¡±
Su Wanwan took a nce at Su Yanyan before saying, ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m sorry we¡¯rete, there was a traffic jam.¡±
¡°No problem at all, the main thing is that you¡¯re here. You and Ashen grab something to eat, don¡¯t starve.¡±
The surrounding chatter was incessant:
¡°So, this is Su Wanwan?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t the groom previously engaged to Su Wanwan?¡±
¡°I find the older sister more beautiful than the younger one. What¡¯s wrong with the groom¡¯s taste? Dumping the older sister for the younger one?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand, look who¡¯s standing next to her?¡±
A session of gaspster, the discussion escted.
¡°It¡¯s Huo Jingshen!¡±
¡°She¡¯s truly hitched to a golden dragon!¡±
¡°No wonder she¡¯s worth tens of millions, she¡¯s here to steal the show!¡±
¡°So, it¡¯s not that the elder sister was dumped, but that she never set her eyes on the groom!¡±
¡°With a rejection from the elder sister, he settled for the younger sister?¡±
¡°What kind of man is this, a leftover eater?¡±
¡°This is a real high society soap opera!¡±
II II
Su Yanyan¡¯s face and her eyes, shrouded with a poisonous veil, were full of resentment and venom.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t contain herughter, and kept saying, ¡°That¡¯s the way Wanwan, thete arrival strategy! Have you seen the dung-eating faces of that couple? Their spotlight waspletely stolen by you two! I told you, there was no need for me to arrange for any reporters. You and Huo are enough to steal the show.¡±
Su Wanwan smiled.
It was Huo Jingshen who had taken her for her look. They had spent a lot of time choosing the shoes and selecting the jewelry, which had caused them to bete.
She used to think it was unnecessary to go to all these lengths just for Su Yanyan¡¯s wedding. However, considering the ease with which she stole the show,bined with Su Yanyan¡¯s awkward expression just now¡
Well, she did find it gratifying.
Besides Mo Weiyi, Su Yunrong, and Qiao Jianye, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t know anyone else at the table, so they must be rtives from the Xing family.
¡°Where¡¯s your Xiaobai?¡± asked Su Wanwan.
¡°Don¡¯t mention that, he was just called away by a phone call. There¡¯s a situation at thepany that I didn¡¯t dare let him ignore.¡± Mo Weiyi said looking a bit guilty.
After their marriage, every time she messed up, Mr. Mo would give Xiaobai trouble. Mo Yaoxiong had been particrly picky about Xiaobai¡¯s work.
Last time, due to the mishap at the mansion, some trouble had befallen the Mo family. Mo Yaoxiong had even hit Xiaobai¡¯s forehead.
She had to behave herself now, staying at home reading novels, practicing yoga, learning cooking, practicing calligraphy¡ pretending to be a genteeldy..

¡°Is your bracelet made of emeralds?¡± Mo Weiyi started chatting again, ¡°So beautiful, it must be worth millions, right?¡±
¡°That expensive!¡± Su Wanwan eximed, ncing at Huo Jingshen in shock.
Wow, Granny Huo is really generous!
She had thought that since the bracelet was a family heirloom, it must be worth several hundred thousand, so she didn¡¯t dare to wear it after receiving it, afraid of identally damaging it. But it was actually worth millions?
¡°This is expensive? Your ne is even more so!¡± Mo Weiyi spoke confidently, ¡°Tck tck tck, top-grade ice jadeite, your Huo grandpa must¡¯ve bought it from the ck market, right? I have one too. I heard this kind costs tens of millions, and it¡¯s priceless.¡±
But she rarely wore the jadeite ne her mother left her as a memento¡
As Mo Weiyi thought this, she couldn¡¯t resist casting a look at Huo Jingshen, who had maintained an indifferent expression since he walked in.
Suddenly it seemed.
Uh, Boss Huo seemed to spoil his wife more than Xiao Yebai, actually buying baby Wanwan such an expensive jadeite ne.
Yingyingying.
Mo Weiyi felt a bit of psychological imbnce.
Why did Xiao Yebai never take the initiative to give her gifts?
He totallycks romance!
Every time she had to say what she wanted before Xiao Yebai would go buy it, and it was basically always the same kinds of jewelry pieces.
No surprises at all!
Women are like this, a tiny bit ofparison can easily lead to wild thoughts, even being overly critical of their own men.
So Mo Weiyi immediately started bombarding Xiao Yebai with messages on her phone.
The newlyweds wereing over to propose a toast at this time.
First, it was a few rtives from the Xing family, then the aunt and uncle, and then it was Huo Jingshen.
Everyone knew that Old Master Huo¡¯s health hadn¡¯t been well in recent years, and presumably, Huo Jingshen was here to represent the Huo Family at this wedding banquet.
Su Yanyan didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. As for Qiao Zixin, the bridesmaid behind her, she had been eager to try.
Today¡¯s asion was formal, and Huo Jingshen was also properly dressed in a well-pressed white dress shirt with an erect cor, fitted ck suit trousers, and immacte ck leather shoes. From head to toe, he was meticulously groomed, clean and dust-free.
When he made his entrance just now, Qiao Zixin felt that all the women at the event were eyeing him like tigers.
Without a doubt, Huo Jingshen was the most dazzling and outstanding man there today, bar none!
She picked up the little ss of wine from the tray, wanting to offer it to him, but Xing Yuyun intercepted it midway and proposed a toast to Huo Jingshen.
Huo Jingshen picked up the ss of wine in front of him, slightly nodded his head, and gracefully finished the small ss of white wine.
Qiao Zixin felt somewhat disappointed, but beholding his impably handsome features, her infatuation quickly vanquished any unwee feelings.
She felt a different sensation this time.
Huo Jingshen was thirty this year, undoubtedly the most charismatic age for a man.
He was the sessor to the Huo family, and was currently the top man in Nancheng, yet he had no airs about him, even his mannerisms when toasting felt warm and courteous, polite, but not overly friendly, exuding a mild sense of distance.
It was like¡ a low-profile dominance!
With a dazed look in her eyes, how sweet was it to look on at nothing but him, as Qiao Zixinpletely forgot her surroundings.
¡°My sister, you¡¯re so beautiful today.¡± Su Yanyan cooed sweetly.
Su Wanwan gave a faint smile, ¡°You¡¯re also very beautiful today, it¡¯s just this dress¡¡±
Her gaze lowered, scanning over it, ¡°It seems a little ill-fitting.¡±
Even if Su Yanyan was only eighteen years old, her figure was truly somewhat too developed.
It was always overwhelmingly exaggerated whenever she saw her.
It shed too much with her petite, peaceful appearance.
Today¡¯s dress was a type of elegant and luxurious modernized Chinese cheongsam, its orange fabric adorned with various embroidered phoenix patterns.
While the dress was beautiful in itself, Su Yanyan¡¯s demeanor was rather unsuited to such opulence. The white pearl ne on her was also too extravagant, it didn¡¯t match her at all.
Even if Su Wanwan was not well-versed in fashion, she could still see something amiss.
Because the cheongsam was practically strangling her, excessively tight, it looked like it could burst at the seams with a slight mishap.
Did she have to try so hard?
Was the stylist this unprofessional?
Who on earth would wear an ill-fitting dress on her wedding day?
Su Yanyan had already switched to a wine ss at this point.
At her hint, Xing Siqing hurriedly picked up the red wine and filled her ss to the brim, it was so full that the wine could overflow any moment.
Su Yanyan was looking at Su Wenwen.
You said my dress doesn¡¯t fit me?
Heh heh.
A glint flickered in her eyes.
If this ss of red wine, was spilled on your graceful, well-fitting dress, and then soaked in, sticking to it¡
Wouldn¡¯t that make it even tighter on you then?
She slowly approached with the ss of wine in her hand.
Just as she was about to clink sses with Su Wenwen, suddenly, she jarred her wrist forward.
Just at the crucial moment, a man¡¯s hand suddenly appeared before her.
Simultaneously, Su Wanwan was pulled away by Huo Jingshen.
¡°Ah!¡±
Su Yanyan¡¯s scream instantly filled the entire wedding venue.
All of the red wine in the ss had been sshed onto her!
Since she wasrger than Su Wanwan, Su Yanyan had struggled to fit into this dress¡ªthe sleeves and hem were somewhat long, but the top was too tight.
So, she had intentionally paired it with a lightweight undergarment, the fabric was extremely flimsy, just a thinyer ofce without any padding.
But she could not have imagined that the dress would be soaked through and stained with wine at this moment, the fabric instantaneously turning transparent¡.
¡°My god!¡± Someone eximed, ¡°The bride had a wardrobe malfunction!¡±
¡°Is the bride goingmando?¡±
¡°We can see it! We can see it!¡±
¡°Quick grab a photo!¡±
Jiang Yi was the first to react, hurriedly yelling, ¡°No photos! No photos!¡±
On one side, Mo Weiyi¡¯s cat-like eyes bugged out even more.
What on earth was Su Yanyan trying to do?
Was she that desperate?
Presenting a show in front of everyone like that?
Chapter 79 - 79: 079, the wrongdoer prosecutes first, the mean dog bites first

Trantor: 549690339
¡°No photos!¡±
Jiang Yi had already charged over, pulling her daughter behind herself and using her own body to block a view, while her eyes directly looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Wanwan, what¡¯s happening?¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t hold back her rolling eyes, ¡°I want to ask her what¡¯s happening. Was she giving a toast or sshing water?¡±
The high wine ss had been thrown on the carpet, and Su Yanyan was soaked in wine, leaving the table strewn with red wine, an absolute mess.
¡°Mom.¡± Su Yanyan suddenly pointed at Su Wanwan, ¡°It was my sister! She intentionally pushed me!¡±
With these words, the scene was instantly filled with huge uproar.
And then Su Yanyan started to cry.
She was naturally elegant and gentle. Having been sshed with wine and then humiliated in front of everyone, her tears made her seem even more pitiful, greatly increasing her credibility.
Many people had already gathered around to watch the excitement, including the parents from both the Su and Xing families.
Su Yuntang was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He sternly asked Su Wanwan, ¡°Evil child, is what Yanyan saying true?¡±
¡°Su Yanyan, are you out of your mind?¡±
To everyone¡¯s surprise, it was Mo Weiyi who responded.
She stood up from her seat, the red dress she was wearing made her stand out even more, making her appear radiant and beautiful, ¡°I clearly saw everything from the side. Wanwan didn¡¯t even move. You were the one who identally knocked your own wine ss over. And now you dare to say that Wanwan pushed you? Are you suffering from paranoid delusion or exhibitionism? You should really go into show business. With acting skills better than those of the Oscar Best Actor, I think you should abandon your marriage to Xing Yuyun. Even better idea? Why don¡¯t you change your sex and try to make it in Hollywood?¡±
¡°Pft!¡± Someone just couldn¡¯t hold back theirughter.
Su Yanyan¡¯s face turned red and then white, but she stubbornly clung to her version of the events, ¡°If she didn¡¯t push me, then how could the whole ss of wine end up on me? Are you suggesting¡ I did this to myself on purpose?¡± ¡°Since you already know how embarrassing this is, why are you still making a fuss about it? Are you afraid no one will take photos of your little show?¡± Mo Weiyi continued to retort.
Su Yanyan was enraged, ¡°What are you talking about¡¡±
Her arm was suddenly grabbed by a hand.
Jiang Yi pulled her daughter aside, giving her a meaningful look.
Then, she turned her attention back to Su Wanwan, ¡°Wanwan, even if Yuyun was previously engaged to you and Yanyan was wrong for getting involved, you shouldn¡¯t do this to her. She is still your sister, and today is her wedding day, everyone is watching¡¡±
¡°Which dog-eyed person saw me push Su Yanyan?¡± Su Wanwan rudely interrupted Jiang Yi.
nJ ii
¡°Don¡¯t use me just because your daughter showed off a little skin!¡± Su Wanwan interrupted again.
She was taller than both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, and she was also wearing an eight-inch high heel, which made her look more intimidating.
At that moment, she seemed indifferent, with a faint smile hanging on her lips. ¡°If my husband hadn¡¯t pulled me just now, that ss of wine would have ended up all over me. I haven¡¯t even asked Su Yanyan why she had to be so vigorous in offering a toast. Was she deliberately trying to ssh it on me to embarrass me in public? Instead, you are here ying victim and using others. Does that mean¡ If you¡¯re weak, you¡¯re in the right?¡±
¡°Wanwan is right.¡± Mo Weiyi added fuel to the fire, ¡°Just because you exposed yourself, you think you¡¯re right?¡±
¡°Well said!¡±
¡°The princess is awesome!¡±
¡°Princess, tear her apart! Princess, fight her!¡±
The bystanders began to take sides.
Mo Weiyi touched up her lipstick, her eyebrows were radiant, and her smile was breathtaking.
She was very famous in Nancheng, she could meet her admirers wherever she went.
Although she used to find it annoying, it did serve a purpose. At least during a verbal fight, fans would blindly support you and it would be an outright win.
As for the elders, their expressions were extremely ugly.
All the distinguished guests of the Su and Xing families were present today at the wedding, which was also attended by many of Nancheng¡¯s most influential figures, not to mention the number of reporters¡ and such a scene was created.
Old Master Xing ordered sternly: ¡°Take Yanyan to change.¡±
Jiang Yi went to pull Su Yanyan, but she resisted, pointing at Su Wanwan and yelling, ¡°You did this on purpose! You¡¯re upset about me wearing your dress, so you took this opportunity to retaliate¡¡±
¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken,¡± a low and indifferent male voice suddenly chimed in, Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone steady, ¡°It was Yuyun who knocked over the ss just now.¡±
Su Yuntang quickly turned to Xing Yuyun at his words, ¡°Yuyun?¡±
Huo Qinyu was also astonished, ¡°What happened? Did you really knock over the ss?¡±
Xing Yuyun, who had been watching coldly all the while, let out a scornful chuckle when all eyes turned to him, then nodded in affirmation, ¡°Yes.¡±
Su Yanyan bit her lip hard.
¡°It was me. My hand slipped, so the wine ss was knocked over,¡± Xing Yuyun finished, then turned his mocking eyes to Su Yanyan, his expression and tone full of sarcasm, ¡°Satisfied now? Or do you want to keep making a fuss?¡±
Su Yanyan stared at Xing Yuyun, taken aback.
What does this mean?
It¡¯s one thing for Huo Jingshen to defend Su Wanwan, but why was he, Xing Yuyun, taking Su Wanwan¡¯s side?
To protect that bitch, he was even willing to admit that he knocked over the wine ss, not afraid of pping her in the face, not to mention embarrassing himself and the face of both the Su and Xing families!
¡°So the dress you¡¯re wearing is actually mine?¡± Su Wanwan asked, as if realizing for the first time..

Her beautiful phoenix eyes assessed Su Yanyan from head to toe, thenughed, ¡°I thought you looked like a child in adult¡¯s clothes, that toasting dress couldn¡¯t fit more badly, and the stylist obviously failed their job. Now I understand why ¨C it¡¯s because the dress is stolen from me.¡±
Her beautiful phoenix eyes assessed Su Yanyan from head to toe, thenughed, ¡°I thought you looked like a child in adult¡¯s clothes, that toasting dress couldn¡¯t fit more badly, and the stylist obviously failed their job. Now I understand why ¨C it¡¯s because the dress is stolen from me.¡±
¡°Su Yanyan, stealing men were bad enough and now you¡¯re stealing clothes too? Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± Mo Weiyi chimed in immediately.
Looking at her best friend, Su Wanwan swallowed herughter before continuing, ¡°What puzzles me is why you¡¯re so fond of snatching my things? This dress, if I recall correctly, was specially tailor-made for me by grandpa. You secretly took and wore it, and not only that, you even dirtied it so much. And you¡¯re brazenly making a scene in front of everyone. I¡¯ve seen theft before, but never have I seen someone so arrogant in doing so!¡±
With a ¡°whoosh¡±, the ce again erupted into discussions.
¡°No, I didn¡¯t steal, I didn¡¯t steal it!¡± Su Yanyan shrieked.
But by now, the spectators had already started discussing:
¡°Holy shit, I can¡¯t keep up with the plot twists!¡±
¡°Did the bride really steal the dress from her sister?¡±
¡°Stealing men and clothes now?¡±
¡°Did she also steal the jewelry?¡±
¡°My, my, this might be the legendary kleptomania.¡±
For the first time, Su Yanyan felt like a condemned mouse everyone wanted to beat.
Not only Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi, but even Su Yuntang, Jiang Yi, Huo Qinyu, etc., seniors from both Su and Su Xing families all wore looks of disbelief.
Su Yanyan was in shock.
Messy noises were ringing in her head, turning her face blotchy with red and white patches.
Finally, she regained herposure and cried out loudly, ¡°It was the maids! The maids messed up the dresses! I just realized it too, grandpa and others knew about it.¡±
Su Xueqin remained silent with a stern face.
Su Wanwan slightly narrowed her eyes, ¡°Which maid?¡±
¡°It was Xiaowei!¡± Su Yanyan pointed in a direction, ¡°Xiaowei messed it up!¡±
Everyone¡¯s gaze immediately followed her pointing finger.
Su Yuntang swiftly moved few steps, pulling a inly dressed pretty girl towards himself, ¡°Tell us clearly, what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, I really don¡¯t know anything!¡± Xiaowei, who was initially excited to watch the chaos, was startled when suddenly she was dragged into the center.
Su Yanyan pointed at her usingly, ¡°How can you mess things up! How dare you mix up the dresses, did you do it on purpose?¡±
Scared, Xiaowei¡¯s teardrops fell, ¡°Miss Yanyan, I didn¡¯t do it, you gave me the clothes¡ ah!¡±
A sharp p knocked her face sideways, quickly turning into a fiery red handprint.
¡°Didn¡¯t you deliver the dress to the Huo family that day?¡± Su Yanyan demanded angrily.
¡°But I never opened it¡ah!¡±
¡°Dare to quibble!¡± Su Yanyan lifted her hand, smacking another p onto her face.
¡°Miss, I really didn¡¯t¡¡±
Su Yanyan was about to raise her hand again¡
¡°Enough!¡±
Su Wanwan stepped forward, pulling her hand away and giving her a forceful shove, ¡°I¡¯ve been overseas for two full years and I don¡¯t even know who Xiaowei is. Why would she switch out my dress? Moreover, why would she nt a needle in it to stab me?¡±
nt a needle?
The crowd gasped in shock.
¡°Is this a pce drama?¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t Su Yanyan, it¡¯s madam Rong!¡±
¡°This is a real-life version of ¡®The Story of Yanxi Pce¡¯!¡±
¡°So terrifying¡¡±
Su Yanyan nearly fell on the ground, barely steady herself when Su Xueqin¡¯s voice rang out angrily.
¡°Yanyan,¡± his piercing eyes were icy, voice colder and stern, ¡°how do you exin this?¡±
¡°It was Xiaowei! She switched the dresses and also put the needle inside!¡± Su Yanyan pointed at Xiaowei, refusing to back down.
She had initially calcted it this way.
The day when Su Wanwan hadn¡¯t opened the box with the dress, she would not realize it was swapped, and even if she was pricked by a needle, it would seem like an ident. If this incident came out at today¡¯s wedding, she could entirely push all the me onto the maid.
But she hadn¡¯t expected that it would escte so much¡
But now in front of everyone, she could only protect herself this way.
¡°I didn¡¯t¡ I really didn¡¯t¡ Master, I didn¡¯t do it, I really didn¡¯t¡¡± Xiaowei¡¯s face was swollen and red, her mouth bleeding, she cried in despair.
Only now she realized why Miss Yanyan had specifically asked her toe and help at the hotel today.
She was a student at Nancheng University from a financially distressed family. She only came to work as a temporary maid in the Su family during summer break, doing daily chores at the Su vi. Normally, she wouldn¡¯t be involved in courtly events like a hotel wedding¡
¡°Scoundrel!¡± The one speaking was Su Yuntang, ¡°We pay you to work, not to harm others!¡±
Having said that, he immediately called the driver standing nearby, ¡°Lao Wu, throw her out immediately! Settle her pay and dismiss her! She doesn¡¯t need to work here ever again!¡±

Chapter 81:1 find it dirty
Trantor: 549690339 ¡®
¡°Okay, sir.¡± Old Wu began to drag the servant out.
Just at that moment.
¡°Wait.¡±
Su Yuntang was stunned, looking up into those calm yet deeply hidden and wide ck eyes, his heart couldn¡¯t help but ¡°thump¡±.
Since thest time he suffered secretly from Huo Jingshen at the Su Family¡¯s, his perception of this son-inw had be a bitplicated.
Calm on the surface, yet secretly fierce.
He had even looked up Huo Jingshen¡¯s background, with little information to be found, only knowing that at a young age he had established his own business empire in Europe, without using any connections or resources from the Huo Family.
How could a mere thirty-year-old achieve this without extraordinary intelligence, deep scheming, even ruthless and decisive means?
Not to mention Su Yuntang was feeling slightly guilty himself at the moment.
As expected.
¡°Chasing the servants away so casually, isn¡¯t that a bit rash?¡± Huo Jingshen s tone was indifferent, but instantly ignited agreement from the crowd.
¡°Huo¡¯s right.¡±
¡°The servant cried so pitifully, she didn¡¯t seem to be lying.
¡°It feels like she was beaten into confession.¡±
¡°Did the bride really hide the needle on purpose?¡±
The old master of the Xing Family frowned deeply.
At his gesture, Huo Qinyu reluctantly stepped forward under pressure, ¡°Ashen, let it be, everything has been clearly investigated, she¡¯s just a servant, maybe she was just confused for a moment¡¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was cold, but carried a heavy sense of oppression,
¡°She was confused for a moment and thus threw dirty water on my daughter-inw. As the mother-inw, do you, Aunt, intend to just let it go?
Huo Qinyu choked on her words, with no choice but to plow on, ¡°Today is Yuyun and Yanyan¡¯s joyous day, there are many journalists here, it wouldn¡¯t be good to make a big fuss about it¡¡±
Su Wanwan silentlyughed.
Actually, she had mentioned casually just now that the needle in the dress pricked Huo Zhexi. It could have been intentional, or it might have been simply
an ident.
She didn¡¯t expect Su Yanyan to immediately me it all on the servant, not surprised by this incident at all, like a mere admission of guilt.
In the past, she thought of her little sister as a white lotus, who liked to y the victim and was scheming, but now it seems that the white lotus has grown up and her heart has turned ck.
¡°I really didn¡¯t hide the needle, sir, madam, young miss¡¡± Xiaowei, seeing a change in the situation, suddenly began to scream again.
There were already people taking out their phones to film, and journalists directly hoisting up their cameras, looking to conduct interviews.
For a moment, the whole scene became noisy, in utter chaos.
Old Master Xing clenched his dragon-headed cane, his features tight and his
face ashen.
Having served in the armed forces for so many years, he had always acted steadfastly, upright, and open-minded, never having had such a loss of face before!
Su Xueqin¡¯s face was also unpleasant to look at because the current situation seemed somewhat out of control.
¡°Grandma!¡± Xing Siqing suddenly screamed.
Huo Qinyu turned around and hurried over, ¡°Mom, Mom, are you okay?¡±
It turned out the Old Lady of the Xing Family had fainted.
Old Master Xing, after a moment of surprise, immediately gave the order, ¡°Call the ambnce!¡±
The Xing family immediately sprang into action.
Xing Guozhi quickly stepped onto the stage, took up the microphone and said, ¡°Thank you all for attending my son¡¯s wedding today. Due to my mother¡¯s sudden fainting, the wedding banquet ends here. Thank you, and thank you
all.¡±
Huo Jingshen stood there, watching the bustling journalists suddenly change their interview direction due to this change of events. He narrowed his eyes; his thin lips revealed a hint of amusement.
In the end, this farce ended with Old Lady Xing¡¯s sudden fainting.
Old Lady Xing was taken away in an ambnce. The onlookers who had gathered around to watch also quickly dispersed. In the hall, only a few people from both families remained.
¡°It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Su Yanyan clutched at her dress, making sure not to reveal herself, and giving off a fragile and helpless aura, ¡°This dress is indeed my sister¡¯s, it¡¯s all my fault for not checking it carefullyst night. Since I was in a hurry in the dressing room, I had to put it on, I didn¡¯t expect to cause such a big problem. After the wedding, I¡¯ll immediately take it off and give it back to my sister.¡±
When she finished speaking, she lowered her head and started sobbing softly.
Su Wanwan sneered internally.
All the guests had already left, so who the hell was she still performing for?
She lowered her head, caressing the jade bracelet on her left wrist, with azy and contemptuous tone, ¡°Forget it, I find it dirty. Since you like it so much, just keep it.¡±
Su Yanyan froze, her face hidden beneath her hair contorted in an almost dreadful expression.
*
*
At the instruction of Old Master Xing, security was checking the phones, cameras, and other items of guests at the hall¡¯s entrance.
However¡
It seems like Su Yanyan¡¯s scandal today cannot be suppressed.
After all, in this Inte age, some spectators have already posted photos and live-streamed videos of the incident.
Just as expected, as soon as Su Wenwen casually opened Weibo, numerous headlines had taken over the screen.
[Explosive! The bride dares to expose herself to steal the spotlight!] [Hidden needles in the wedding dress, real-life story of treachery!] [Spoiled young miss reveals true character, gets exposed while crying!] [Wealthy sisters fight over a man, wedding bes a scandalous feud!]
Even if the Su and Xing Families could use their media connections to delete all these posts soon, right now, Su Yanyan was undoubtedly at the eye of the storm.
The two elders of the Xing Family have always been very concerned about their reputation, so for a while, Su Yanyan would likely be confined to the house¡.

¡°Wanwan.¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly grabbed her wrist, ¡°Come to the restroom with me, the driver won¡¯t be here for another half an hour.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan put down her phone, looked at Huo Jingshen, ¡°You were going to thepany, right? You can go ahead, I will return with Weiyiter.¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t say a word, just looking at her expressionlessly.
That look¡
Su Wanwan blinked her clear eyes, feeling a little scared inside.
Mo Weiyi also leaned in her ear, whispering gossip, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your man, Huo? Is he angry? His face is as dark as a pot.¡±
How should Su Wanwan know?
Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Huo, I will safely send Wanwan back to you!¡±
¡°I appreciate it, Miss Mo.¡± Huo Jingshen replied politely.
¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all!¡±
Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips, suddenly leaned into Su Wanwan¡¯s ear, and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of you when we get home tonight.¡±
With that, he turned and left.
His back was tall and revealed a sense of pride.
Su Wanwan¡¯s face flushed because of his words.
Such an old rascal¡
¡°Why is your face as red as a monkey¡¯s butt?¡± Mo Weiyi was curious, ¡°What did President Huo say?¡±
Su Wanwan quickly turned around and walked away, ¡°Weren¡¯t we going to the restroom? Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Wait for me.¡± Mo Weiyi had no choice but to follow.
*
*
The restroom was at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the hotel.
It was already past two in the afternoon, and most of the guests had left. Su Wanwan thought there would be no one, but as soon as she opened the door, she heard the gossipy voices of women inside.
¡°That Mo Weiyi is too nosy, it¡¯s none of her business, why is she everywhere!¡±
¡°Huh, nothing more than a lucky fool, born into the Mo family.¡±
¡°And she found such a powerful husband!¡±
¡°Haha, that Xiao Yebai is nothing more than a white-faced gigolo¡¡±
Su Wanwan froze, but before she could react, Mo Weiyi had already walked a few steps over, raising her slender and beautiful leg, her high heels ¡°bang¡± knocked on the door of the stall.
The restroom suddenly became silent.
¡°Keep talking!¡± Mo Weiyi kicked the door again, her pretty face full of rage.
Nobody dared to say anything more.
¡°Dare to say but not to admit?¡± Mo Weiyi sneered. She pulled back her leg, crossed her arms, and said arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯ll stand right here today, unless you¡¯re bold enough to nevere out of the stall! And forever being coward.¡±
Xiao Yebai is the adopted son of the Mo Family, everyone in Nancheng knows that.
The Mo Family only had one child for several generations, Mo Yaoxiong has only this beloved daughter, Mo Weiyi who turned twenty this year .
She has no business acumen, only studiedw, so someone has to take over the Mo Family business, and Xiao Yebai is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Two years after marrying Mo Weiyi, Xiao Yebai transferred from being a manager to the position of president of the Mo Group.
He is talented and ruthless; in just two years, he has rapidly expanded the scale of the Mo Group, doubled the stock price, and has chain hotels spread across the globe.
No matter how outstanding he is, it still doesn¡¯t change the fact that his surname is Xiao and not Mo.
Given the Mo Family¡¯s current dominant position in Nancheng, plus Xiao Yebai¡¯s stern and resolute personality, even if anyone had a problem with this, they would only dare to think about it in their hearts and not dare to gossip openly.
Yet now, such extremely insulting remarks have been heard by Mo Weiyi.
Su Wanwan knows her very well, she could be indifferent about anything, but if ites to Xiao Yebai, sorry, she won¡¯t let it go easily.
Everyone has their taboo.
And Xiao Yebai is Mo Weiyi¡¯s taboo.
¡°Weiyi, I¡¯m going to call the security.¡± Su Wanwan immediately said.
¡°No need.¡± Mo Weiyi kept a straight face. ¡°These are just a few gossipy women, I can handle them.¡±
Su Wanwan had no choice but to wait there with her.
Finally, after a soft rustling sound, the stall door was opened, and a young woman in her early twenties walked out of it.
She was also dressed up, probably here to attend today¡¯s wedding.
Su Wanwan remembered, she seemed to be an external granddaughter of the Chu Family?
Mo Weiyi squinted her eyes at her, then scoffed, ¡°I thought who it is, it turns out to be just the external granddaughter of the Chu Family. So what, do you like to gossip behind others¡¯ backs that much, do you need me to give Grandpa Chu a call to give you a reminder?¡±
The girl¡¯s face changed, but very quickly, she clenched her teeth and said, ¡°Mo Weiyi, don¡¯t think you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯re the miss of the Mo Family!¡±
¡°So you also know that I¡¯m the miss of the Mo Family.¡± Mo Weiyi looked at her,ughing arrogantly, ¡°Then do you believe that with just one sentence from me, I can make your family¡¯spany go bankrupt immediately!¡±
¡°You dare!¡±
The adjacent stall door also opened, the girl who came out held the first girl and persuaded, ¡°Let it go, Manman.¡±
She immediately apologized, ¡°Miss Mo, we were wrong, we shouldn¡¯t have badmouthed President Xiao behind his back, forgive us this time.¡±
¡°Coward!¡± The girl named Manman was very angry, ¡°Why are you backing down? Are you really that scared of her?¡±
Her friend didn¡¯t answer, but obviously, she was really scared of Mo Weiyi.
Or to be more precise, afraid of the Mo Family.
If you are the Chu Family¡¯s external granddaughter, of course you don¡¯t have to be afraid, as at least you have the Chu Family as your strong backing.
But she, without a prominent family, or background, was just here to attend Su Yanyan¡¯s wedding, and then to gossip on the side¡
Who would have thought that she would get caught by the parties involved..

If she really offends the Mo Family because of this, affecting her ownpany¡¯s business, then she would be the sinner of her whole family. Even if the Mo Family doesn¡¯t respond, being targeted by Mo Weiyi would make her life difficult.
They both study at the same university. Mo Weiyi is the school¡¯s beauty and has countless admirers. Sometimes she even carries bodyguards with her¡
Who would dare to offend her?
¡°Miss Jian, you don¡¯t seem worried that yourpany will go bankrupt?¡± Mo Weiyi continued to smirk.
Jian Xiaoman listened to her arrogant tone, so high and mighty. All her willfulness, arrogance, and conceit¡ To her, they are all justifiable.
Feeling impulsive, she dared to confront her, ¡°Mo Weiyi, you know whether what I said is true or not! The angrier you are, the more it shows that I¡¯m telling the truth! Are you upset that I¡¯ve hit a nerve?¡±
Mo Weiyiughed in anger, her delicate finger curling around her hair ends, her extended tone making her sound arrogant, ¡°Xiaobai graduated from the best research institute in M Country at the age of twenty, and got his double Ph.D. in MBA and economics two yearster. He is proficient in six or sevennguages, has level 10 certification in piano and violin, and entered the Mo Group after he came back to China. Within three years, he went from a basic salesman to the manager¡¯s position. After serving as the executive president for two years, the stock price of the Mo Group multiplied by more than ten times. A few days ago, he was even voted one of the top ten most outstanding youths in the country by a leading business magazine¡¡±
With each statement of his aplishments, Jian Xiaoman¡¯s face changed color.
By the end, she was extremely embarrassed.
¡°Go check the size of the puddle you just peed, based on you, a waste who can¡¯t even pass a third-rate university, where do you get the nerve? What qualifications do you have to criticize my Xiaobai?¡± Mo Weiyi finished,ughing at Jian Xiaoman, ¡°Not just you, but even the entire Chu Family doesn¡¯t have the qualifications to judge my man!¡±
¡°Mo Weiyi, don¡¯t go too far!¡± Jian Xiaoman was a bit infuriated, ¡°So, this is how the Mo Family¡¯s daughter speaks, without any quality?¡±
¡°Well, I suddenly realized you¡¯re just the granddaughter of the Chu Family, I shouldn¡¯t be so unqualified to involve the Chu Family.¡± Mo Weiyi raised her eyebrow, her proud and mboyantugh resounding, ¡°So let¡¯s talk about your Jian Family, who in your Jian Family has this qualification? Is it your father who was caught in bed with his mistress by your mother? Or your prodigal brother who lost all his pants in gambling and got on the gossip newspaper? Besides scandals, does your Jian Family have any presence in Nancheng?¡± Under Jian Xiaoman¡¯s face that had turned both red and white from mockery and anger, Mo Weiyi suddenly reached out and pulled the white handbag in her hand, ¡°When did¡ driiol start disying its brand on the outside?¡±
Jian Xiaoman¡¯s face turned pale, and she hurriedly hid the handbag behind her. This handbag is thetest model of driiol, worth tens of thousands. Recently, her older brother had just incurred a butt-load of debt from gambling, and the family was in great difficulty. She didn¡¯t have the money to buy this bag at all. But because she was attending Su Yanyan¡¯s wedding today, although not all of the real tycoons of Nancheng came, there were still many young masters anddies in the circle present.
In such asions, what was being disyed were brands, attire, and personal connections.
If you don¡¯t have it, you need to pretend you do!
How else to break into high society?
She had been shopping online for a long time, and the shop owner said that many celebrities bought high-quality imitation goods from his shop and no one could tell whether they were real or fake.
She had deliberately shown off in front of Su Yanyan before the wedding ceremony, and many people praised her for looking good. No one noticed, but now¡
¡°Wearing cheap dresses, using imitation bags, average looks, and vulgar temperament, who gave you the nerve to evaluate the man of me, Mo Weiyi?¡± Mo Weiyi was toozy to argue anymore, her beautiful little face suddenly darkened, and she coldly said, ¡°Say you¡¯re sorry! And promise never to do it again! For Grandfather Chu¡¯s sake, I might consider letting you go.
Otherwise¡¡±
¡°This is not Mo Family¡¯s territory. If you dare to touch me, I¡¯ll call the police right away! I¡¯ll make sure you regret it!¡± Jian Xiaoman was being publicly humiliated and threatened for the first time.
After all, she was the granddaughter of the Chu Family, even Su Yanyan and
Xing Yuyun had to be somewhat polite to her!
Su Wanwan had been standing by and listening for a while, and the more she listened, the more her head ached.
This Jian Xiaoman really wasn¡¯t going to stop until she destroyed herself, getting caught talking behind someone¡¯s back, couldn¡¯t she just apologize and let it go?
She had to confront her.
And she even started arguing with Weiyi.
Although Mo Weiyi is sweet and adorable and has always maintained an appealing princess image, what did her grandpa do in his early years? Now he pretty much controls both the white cor and the underworld. As a granddaughter who had seen it all from a young age, if you think she is just as sweet and harmless as she looks, then you¡¯re wrong.
Jian Xiaoman had already taken out her phone to call no, but the call was intercepted before she could finish the number.
With a ¡°pop¡±, Mo Weiyi threw the phone against the wall, and it fell back to the ground, broken into pieces.
¡°How dare you break my phone?¡± Jian Xiaoman¡¯s face turned green.
¡°Apologize!¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice.
Jian Xiaoman gritted her teeth and finally couldn¡¯t hold back, she screamed and lunged over.
Mo Weiyi engaged her in a fight directly.
¡°Manman!¡± The other girl also came to help.
As a best friend, Su Wanwan naturally needed to help her friend. So, without a second word, she rolled up her sleeves and joined in.
For a moment, the bathroom was a mess with four young girls fighting.
*
Huo Yuan Group¡¯s headquarters.
Just as Huo Jingshen returned to his office after a tedious two-hour meeting, Ji Jie rushed in, ¡°Not good, not good, not good!¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at him, his face somber and a little gloomy.
Under immense pressure, Ji Jie hurriedly reported, ¡°Mr. Huo, your wife got into a fight with three women and made a scene at the police station. The police called your private number. Since you were in a meeting, I took the liberty of answering it..¡±
Chapter 84 - 84: 084, did you marry a stray cat?

Trantor: 549690339
After that, he immediately starteding up with a strategy, ¡°Mr. Huo, you should hurry to the police station. If we wait too long, your wife may be at a disadvantage! Also, I¡¯ll call Lawyer Lu right away. With him around, those who dared to bully your wife won¡¯t get away with it!¡±
¡°No need.¡± Huo Jingshen tly refused.
Her, disadvantaged?
It would be fortunate if others aren¡¯t disadvantaged by her.
Also¡
One should never air dirtyundry in public.
He pressed his slender, bony fingers to his temples, then stood. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the police station. Contact me if anything happens.¡±
¡°Very well, Mr. Huo.¡±
¡°One more thing,¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped. ¡°From now on, avoid touching my phone.¡±
Ji Jie was quick to exin, ¡°Mr. Huo, your phone kept ringing, and I was afraid you¡¯d miss something important¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like repeating myself.¡± Huo Jingshen said, then left.
Ji Jie stood there, shivering.
God, what an impossible task he¡¯d been given by his boss.?
The young master of the Huo Family seemed refined, but he had a nasty temper and was hard to read. It was very hard to serve him whether you do much or too little.
Despite all his effort studying the young master¡¯s habits and preferences day and night, he was on the verge of going bald as a millennial¡

¡°Wanwan, when will your Mr. Huo arrive?¡±
At the police station, Mo Weiyi sat, her hair tangled, her mouth puckered, looking utterly helpless.
¡°I¡¯ve made several calls, but his assistant keeps picking up,¡± Su Wanwan said. She then suggested, ¡°Why not call Xiaobai?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mo Weiyi immediately shook her head. ¡°He can¡¯t know about this.¡±
She had to protect her man from any harm!
¡°Then, how about calling Uncle Mo?¡± Su Wanwan proposed again.
¡°No way!¡± Mo Weiyi vigorously shook her head. ¡°My dad would cause trouble for Xiaobai.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
¡°Did you not notice that I didn¡¯t dare tell anyone that I¡¯m Mo Weiyi?¡±
¡°And you have the nerve to say that!¡±
Just thinking about it made Su Wanwan seethe.
Because Mo Weiyi was too timid to give her name and imed she didn¡¯t have her ID, and since Nancheng was hosting a state leader and the local police officers didn¡¯t recognize her, she was treated as a non-local and taken to the police station.
¡°Ah, Wanwan, please make another call to Mr. Huo,¡± Mo Weiyi started to whine. ¡°I¡¯m hungry, tired, and thirsty. I¡¯ll faint if we don¡¯t leave soon¡¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her, her mouth twitching.
Was this the same high-society, elegant, and domineering Miss Mo who had been arguing non-stop earlier?
Thankfully, once they got to the station, she wouldn¡¯t stop protesting. This forced the officers to separate her and Jian Xiaoman into different rooms. Otherwise, their spectacle would surely have been too much.
¡°Hurry up, Wanwan. I¡¯m really hungry. Please, my darling Wanwan, darling Wanwan¡¡± Mo Weiyi said, pulling at her hand, swaying back and forth.
Being good-looking and whiny, plus having incurred some minor injuries from the fight, all made her look absolutely pitiful. Su Wanwan was at her wits¡¯ end.
Having no other choice, she once again pulled out her phone and dialed the number.
One ring.
Two rings.
Three rings.
Then she heard the ringing getting closer and closer¡
¡°Xiaoliu, this is Mr. Huo.¡±
Hearing the those words, Su Wanwan quickly raised her head. Beside her, Mo Weiyi was already enthusiastically greeting him, ¡°Mr. Huo, hi!¡±
The tall, upright man entered, apanied by a personnel. His handsome face bore no expression as his gaze passed over them, his eyes ck and devoid of any emotion.
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, he had already shifted his gaze.
With Huo Jingshen¡¯s arrival, the situation transformed instantly.
Listening to him exined the whole situation in a few words, then signed, paid bail, and case was closed¡
Once everything was done, a female personnel came over. ¡°You can leave once you¡¯ve signed.¡±
When Huo Jingshen came over, Mo Weiyi was raring to go. ¡°Mr. Huo, could you ask the police to keep those two jerks in next room locked up for a few more days?¡±
Su Wanwan:
Huo Jingshen looked at her nkly. ¡°Deep grudge?¡±
¡°Um, not really, hehe.¡± Mo Weiyi instantly backed down.
But she was still a little uneasy.
When they were about to leave, she couldn¡¯t help but run over to the next room and intimidate the two. ¡°You two better keep your mouths shut about what happened today, or you¡¯ll get more than a beating!¡±
Huo Jingshen took a nce.
Those two women were obviously heavily injured.
Their hair was a mess, their dresses torn, their faces bearing numerous scratches, as well as their legs and arms. They looked like they¡¯d been badly beaten¡
As for Mo Weiyi, there were also several red marks on her neck. The only one, Su Wanwan, apart from her hair and clothes being a little messy, was essentially unscathed.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
Had he married¡?
A little wildcat?
*
*
*
Back in the car, Mu Shang had barely driven off before Mo Weiyi leaned over the passenger seat to whisper, ¡°Mr. Huo, could you please not let word get out about today?¡±
¡°Sit back.¡± His voice was low and stern.
¡°Okay.¡± Mo Weiyi obediently sat back. ¡°Please, Mr. Huo, help me keep this a secret. I beg you, thank you.¡±
Without a nce at her, Huo Jingshen simply drove. ¡°If you knew this was going to happen, why did you start a fight?¡±
Once again, Mo Weiyi was left speechless, and she sadly closed her mouth.
Really now, why are all men like this?
Couldn¡¯t they be a little gentler when they speak?
A little nicer?
A few secondster, Mo Weiyi spoke up again. ¡°Can you at least send me to VM styling, Mr.. Huo?¡±
Chapter 85 - 85: 085, Xiaobai misses me, right?
Chapter 85: Xiaobai misses me, right?
Trantor: 549690339
This time, even Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but frown, ¡°Why are you trying to style yourself when your neck is bleeding?¡±
¡°If Mr. Huo doesn¡¯t want to hide it for me, I can only hide it myself. Otherwise, Xiaobai will definitely ask questions when I go back,¡± Mo Weiyi said with conviction.
Su Wanwan wanted to roll her eyes, she sneered, ¡°Then go to the hospital, don¡¯t let it scar and get disliked by your Xiaobai.¡±
¡°Right.¡± Mo Weiyi had a sudden realization, ¡°Baby Wanwan, you understand me the best!¡±
Su Wanwan again:
Mo Weiyi sat back down with a grin, finally having the time to check on her injury.
Tsk.
Looking at the two deep red scratches on her neck, Mo Weiyi was so angry that her pretty little face crinkled up.
This damned Jian Xiaoman, she¡¯s just like a shrew, why does she keep her nails so long?
How is she going to exin this to Xiaobai when she goes back?
After putting away her makeup mirror, she leaned backwards and was suddenly poked by something.
She picked it up to look.
Holy shit!
Mo Weiyi¡¯s cat eyes widened dramatically.
A woman¡¯s earring?
And it¡¯s a gaudyrge red pearl one!
It couldn¡¯t be Su Wanwan¡¯s, right?
That girl hardly ever wears jewelry, let alone anything in such a tacky style and color. Could it be¡
Did Huo Jingshen sneak around and cheat?
Did the two of them happen to have a car tryst right here?
Damn!
Mo Weiyi moved her butt a bit ufortably, suddenly feeling ufortable all over.
*
*
At the hospital, Huo Jingshen¡¯s phone suddenly rang while the doctor was treating the injury.
After he left the nurse¡¯s room, Mo Weiyi immediately asked, ¡°Wanwan, have you lost anything recently?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Really? Think again carefully,¡± Mo Weiyi decided to first figure out if that earring was this girl¡¯s.
Su Wanwan furrowed her eyebrows and then shook her head, ¡°Really, I haven¡¯t lost anything.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her, suddenly getting serious, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Did you find my money? How much did you find?¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
*
*
In the corridor, Huo Jingshen answered the call.
¡°Jingshen, Ziyang is taking the flight to Nancheng on the 27th.¡±
¡°Is he running away from home again?¡± Huo Jingshen frowned, ¡°He¡¯s too precocious, you shouldn¡¯t tell him so much.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not the point.¡± Fu Xihan apparently did not want to borate, ¡°I don¡¯t have time to take care of him recently. I n to send him back to China to attend primary school.¡±
¡°So?¡±
¡°You¡¯re married now, so it¡¯s perfect timing. Have a taste of what life is like with a child,¡± Fu Xihan said matter-of-factly.
¡°Can I refuse?¡± Huo Jingshen massaged his temple.
Taking care of a twenty-year-old was headache enough, and now a five-year-old too?
¡°Apart from you, I can¡¯t find anyone else who can take better care of him.¡±
Huo Jingshen:
*
*
When they went back to the nurse¡¯s room, Mo Weiyi¡¯s injury had already been treated.
Tworge pieces of gauze were attached to her neck, very eye-catching.
Seeing Huo Jingshen, she immediately spoke, ¡°Mr. Huo, my phone is broken and I can¡¯t use it. I¡¯ll add you on WeChat when I get home, remember to ept it.¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t react, ¡°Let¡¯s go after you¡¯re done.¡±
Half an hourter.
Outside the vi of the Mo family, Mo Weiyi got out of the car and Mu Shang immediately turned around and left.
She carefully put the earring in her bag, turned around and walked into the courtyard. As soon as she pushed open the door of the vi, she heard the driver¡¯s excited voice, ¡°Princess, you¡¯re finally back!¡±
¡°Uncle Liu, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
After a flurry of footsteps, a tall, aloof man came into view.
He was dressed in a ck shirt and trousers, his handsome face serious and indifferent behind his sses. The setting sun shone from behind him, casting a mysterious shadow on his face.
¡°Xiaobai, why are you home so early?¡±
Mo Weiyi was both shocked and pleased.
Ever since Xiao Yebai became the CEO of the Mo Group, he had been busy working and socializing, and rarely ever returned home this early.
The man put his hands in his trouser pockets. Behind his sses, a pair of sharp eyes scanned her from head to toe, ¡°Get into a fight?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mo Weiyi quickly covered her neck, ¡°I¡ I just encountered two cute puppies, I wanted to bring them home, but they scratched me.¡±
Xiao Yebai walked up to her, his slender and handsome fingers suddenly lifting her left arm, ¡°Did the dog scratch you like this?¡±
On Mo Weiyi¡¯s left elbow, there was a big red and swollen bruise.
That was where she hit the wall when Jian Xiaoman pushed her.
Mo Weiyi was very guilty, blinking her beautiful cat eyes, and suddenly hugging the man¡¯s strong arm, ¡°Hey, you didn¡¯t tell me why you came home so early? Did you miss me? Huh? Xiaobai, you missed me, right?¡±
¡°Your phone was unreachable, Liu was worried that something might have happened to you.¡± Compared to her enthusiasm, Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was always cold, almost devoid of any inflection.
Mo Weiyi hurriedly said, ¡°I lost my phone, and I don¡¯t remember Uncle Liu¡¯s number, it was Wanwan who brought me back.¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say anything, his ck eyes slightly squinted behind the sses, just staring at her coldly.
¡°Really!¡± Mo Weiyi raised her little hand to swear, and then pouted like a cute child, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Wanwan, why would I lie to you?¡±
His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed once, and Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze, ¡°Liu, you can go first.¡±
¡°Okay, Mr. Xiao.¡±
Liu wiped his sweat, turned around and left.
He even kindly helped them close the door on his way out..
Chapter 86 - 86: 086, would you like to have a candlelight dinner?
Chapter 86: would you like to have a candlelight dinner?
Trantor: 549690339
Suddenly, only the two of them remained in the spacious living room.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t resist stepping onto her tiptoes and slightly lifting her chin, looking at the handsome jawline of the man in front of her. With a coquettish whisper, she said, ¡°Xiaobai, give me a kiss.¡±
Xiao Yebai stood there, his eyes slightly downcast.
There were two pieces of gauze stered on Mo Weiyi¡¯s neck, and an obvious swelling on her fair cheek. Her delicate curly hair was slightly disheveled, and there were some dirt marks on the cor of her dress.
But none of these things detracted from her distinctively youthful and exquisite appearance, especially those attractive cat eyes. At this moment, they were slightly squinted, and her eyes were curved up in a smile, resembling¡
An innocent, naive little kitten, pining for its master¡¯s affection.
A glimmer of emotion shed through the depths of his obscure eyes.
Afterward, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t resist chuckling as she saw the red lipstick smeared on the corners of the man¡¯s dainty mouth.
Xiao Yebai, with his towering height of 188 cm, always favored wearing dark-colored shirts and dress pants.
Apanied by his naturally cold and paleplexion, delicately handsome features, and profound facial contours, he always looked aloof and untouchable, giving off the impression of an elite gentleman. But right now, the sight of him was oddly¡ enticing!
This enticing yet handsome Xiaobai was her man.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butpliment herself about her excellent choice of a husband.
From the moment 15-year-old Xiao Yebai, dressed in white shirt and ck trousers, stepped into the Mo family¡¯s home ten years ago, she had set her sights on him. After relentless pursuit over eight years, he finally became her husband, and now they had been married for almost two years¡
Mo Weiyi restedfortably in the man¡¯s broad embrace, her arms gently encircling his neck, her voice soft, ¡°Xiaobai, don¡¯t you have any social obligations tonight?¡±
Xiao Yebai gazed at her, his dark eyes obscured by his sses.
¡°Shall we go for a candlelit dinner tonight? And perhaps buy a new phone while we¡¯re at it?¡±
Not waiting for his response, Mo Weiyi quickly added, ¡°No more using work as an excuse to deny me. Just think, when was thest time we had a candlelit dinner together? Don¡¯t you feel sorry for this little wife of yours?¡±
While she understood his work kept him busy and his responsibility toward managing the vast Mo Family required him to be exceptional, so as to put her father¡¯s mind at ease, she, as his wife, felt a bit neglected.
Atst, Xiao Yebai replied, his voice as aloof and deep as ever, ¡°You¡¯re injured.¡±
Uh¡
Mo Weiyi mentally cursed Jian Xiaoman hundreds of times and reluctantly suggested, ¡°Then¡ let¡¯s have the chef Dihong cook for us at home instead. We can have our candlelit dinner there. Weren¡¯t we talking about hiring two Michelin star chefs recently? Let¡¯s have them both over. What do you think?¡±
The naive princess seemed to feel that all her demands were perfectly justified and that everyone had to revolve around her, oveing all obstacles to serve her.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s thin lips curved into a trace of a cold smirk as he responded, ¡°Sounds good.¡±
¡°Yay!¡± Mo Weiyi released her hold on him excitedly, ¡°I¡¯ll make the arrangements right away!¡±
She hopped over to the sofa and sat down, started looking for the phone numbers, and made phone calls to arrange for the chefs, sorting out the details¡
She was full of enthusiasm and excitement.
Xiao Yebai simply watched as the petite woman bustled about. After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze and walked into the study.

Meanwhile, as soon as Mo Weiyi got out of the car, the absence of her chattering created an eerie quietness inside the vehicle.
Su Wanwan sat there, and couldn¡¯t help but sneak a sideways glimpse.
Huo Jingshen was impassive while driving, showing no signs of emotion.
When they arrived home, Su Wanwan saw KO running around in the yard from a distance off and hurriedly said, ¡°You go and tie up the dog.¡±
Huo Jingshen remained silent.
After parking the car, he took the key and walked away without batting an eyelid.
Su Wanwan widened her eyes.
Damn, what kind of attitude was that?
Ignoring the dog was one thing, but not speaking to her at all?
Seeing him walk further and further away without any intention of looking back, Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and hurriedly got out of the car, following closely behind him like a little follower.
¡°Woof!¡±
KO¡¯s booming bark echoed through the air.
Su Wanwan shrieked in fright, sprinted over in a few steps, and mbered onto the man¡¯s back, her hands tightly grasping his neck as if climbing up a tree.
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
¡°Ahhh!¡±
KO trotted over, circled around the two, constantly getting closer with its snout in an attempt to express its affection¡
The air filled with a strange and scorching animal scent which scared Su Wanwan so much that her voice trembled, ¡°Hurry, hurry up and go, go!¡±
The man¡¯s tall and indifferent figure stood still, letting her struggle on him until Su Wanwan yelled, ¡°Honey!¡±
Only then did he speak, ¡°KO.¡±
¡°Oooh ¡ª¡± KO obediently squatted down, its wet eyes watching its master with a wronged expression.
¡°Hurry, hurry and go!¡± Su Wanwan strained her voice, abruptly scratching the man¡¯s shoulder de.
Her nails were a bit long.
It was a little painful.
Huo Jingshen instantly thought of the scratched faces of those two women in the police station¡
The little girl needed a manicure.
Huo Jingshen raised his hand, grasping her delicate ankle. Carrying her on his back, he headed for the vi..

As soon as they entered the living room, Aunt Liu, who was cleaning, jumped in fright.
Hmm, Mr. Huo really loves his wife. He either carries her or piggybacks her every day, just like he¡¯s pampering a daughter.
¡°Aunt Liu, you can leave for the day,¡± Huo Jingshen instructed.
¡°¡Okay, sir.¡±
Huo Jingshen then carried Su Wanwan upstairs.
Once they got into the room, he unceremoniously dumped her onto the bed.
So rough and ungentlemanly.
After being tossed roughly, Su Wanwan felt dizzy. It took her a while to regain her bearings on the bouncy mattress. Regaining her voice, she started scolding him, ¡°Are you mad? Why exert so much force? Are you trying to kill me?¡±
Huo Jingshen closed the bedroom door, his handsome face solemn and contemtive.
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
Before she could react, Huo Jingshen had swiftly closed the distance between them.
¡°What are you going to do?¡± Su Wanwan, her scalp tingling in fear, quickly turned to get away from him, ¡°You should know, it¡¯s broad daylight!¡±
Before she knew it, hisrge hands gripped her, pulling her back while his deep, maic voice asking ominously, ¡°What difference does daylight make?¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but tremble minutely.
Resultingly¡
¡°Why are you trembling?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was clearly teasing.
Su Wanwan blinked:¡±¡¡±
I don¡¯t want to tremble either!
But¡
Oh damn, I can¡¯t help it!
¡°You manage to stir up trouble in such a short time. So capable, but why are you scared now? Huh?¡± As Huo Jingshen spoke, he gave a forceful tug.
With a ripping sound, her skirt was torn open.
Inside, Su Wanwan cringed.
Such a costly, gorgeous, and rare evening gown¡just casually ripped apart?
He¡¯s acting just like a nouveau riche tycoon!
And she was only wearing it for the first time¡
Su Wanwan tried to exin, ¡°Those two women started it first, I couldn¡¯t just let them bully Weiyi together, could I?¡±
¡°So, you think you¡¯re being loyal?¡±
¡°Of course! Weiyi is my best friend. She¡¯s delicate and doesn¡¯t have much strength to fight back. As a good friend, I must stand up for her!¡± Su Wanwan retorted righteously.
Huo Jingshen chuckled and with another ¡°rip!¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Very quickly, her evening gown was ripped to shreds and pulled off her.
The fading sunlight streamed in through the French windows. While she was in a disheveled state, the man before her was still immactely dressed, his posture dominant as he loomed over her.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Forget it.
Let it be.
Just treat it as if she has been wronged once again.
She had already suffered indignity once by his hands anyway. Could she not just grit her teeth and bear it this time?
However¡
As the seconds ticked by, the anticipated scenario didn¡¯t y out.
Uh¡
Feeling awkward and curious, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t resist sneaking a peek over her shoulder.
Huo Jingshen maintained his original position, his beautiful thin lips tightly pressed together, his gaze focused, even his brows were furrowed slightly.
The little wound on her ankle from the previous incident was almost healed. She wasn¡¯t seriously injured today apart from arge, prominent bruise on her knee¡
Watching her, Huo Jingshen suddenly pressed hard over the bruise on her knee.
¡°Ouch!¡±
Su Wanwan instantly grimaced in pain, groaning, ¡°It hurts¡ Let go! Let go, it¡¯s killing me¡¡±
¡°Only now you realize pain?¡± Huo Jingshen finally withdrew his hand, his gaze sharp as daggers. ¡°Will you fight again?¡±
Su Wanwan was slightly taken aback.
Uh, was he actually concerned about her?
Did he rip her clothes off just to check she wasn¡¯t hurt from the fight?
Could he be that considerate?
Sure enough¡
¡°I don¡¯t want to see a dirty girl. Go, clean yourself.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s assumption was confirmed, and she retorted, red-faced and indignant, ¡°No!¡±
Friggin¡¯!
He¡¯s asking her to clean herself up too?
What an attitude!
He was treating her like an ancient courtesan preparing for a client!
A person can be killed but not humiliated!
¡°No? In that case, I don¡¯t mind helping you,¡± Huo Jingshen said magnanimously and reached out as if to help.
¡°Aaaaah!¡± Su Wanwan screamed, quickly rolled to the side of the bed and jumped off, ¡°I¡¯ll wash myself! Isn¡¯t that good enough?¡±
Huo Jingshen withdrew his hand, coolly slipped it back into his trouser pocket, lips curving satisfactorily. Even his tone was unusually pleased, ¡°Good girl.¡±
You ¡®good girl¡¯ in hell!
Su Wanwan grimaced at him and quickly ran into the bathroom, hands covering herself.
Concerned about her?
He was nothing but a shameless jerk.
Undoubtedly the most perverse, unscrupulous kind!
Despicable!

Twenty minutester, Su Wanwan, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out of the bathroom.
¡°Ahem!¡±
No reaction?
¡°Ahem Ahem!¡±
On the sofa, alerted by the cough, Huo Jingshen finally lifted his eyes to look at the little girl grinning like a mischievous fox.
¡°You can¡¯t touch me tonight,¡± Su Wanwan said, her eyes curved in a satisfied smile as she reveled in her triumph.
Huo Jingshen remained expressionless.
¡°Because¡¡± Su Wanwan deliberately dragged out her words, and then quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m on my period! Hahaha!¡±
Looking at his suddenly dark expression, Su Wanwan¡¯s smile widened even
more..

Trantor: 549690339
No wonder she felt ufortable in her lower abdomenst night. It turns out she just got her period. It was a lifesaver.
Huo Jingshen squinted his ck pupils and stared at her, smugness shown in
her face.
¡°Crap!¡±
Su Wanwan had to reevaluate him again. Was he still not willing to let her go even in this state?
He must be a pervert, right?
She blinked her eyes, thinking of a strategy when her phone suddenly rang.
She ran to the phone with a sense of reprieve, ¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Wanwan, it¡¯s me.¡±
Qiao Zixin?
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Could you give me Huo¡¯s phone number? I need to discuss something with
him.¡±
Why did everyone suddenly want his phone number?
Mo Weiyi wanted it in the afternoon and now Qiao Zixin does too?
Su Wanwan looked at a certain someone suspiciously, remaining guarded,
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Just some work-rted stuff. I would like to seek some advice from Mr. Huo.¡±
Qiao Zixin answered politely.
She has already figured it out. She deliberately left her earring in Huo jingshen¡¯s carst night. It would seem too deliberate if she called hun right after.
Su Wanwan may be simple, but Huo Jingshen was not easily fooled. It would
not be good if she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
So she deliberately waited until after the wedding day, first using a work-rted reason. If all else fails, she could just mention the earring.
After all, Su Wanwan was her cousin. It was normal for rtives to help each
other at work, so it shouldn¡¯t raise any suspicions.
¡°What kind of work-rted stuff?¡± Su Wanwan asked again.
Qiao Zixin had to make up another excuse, ¡°Our magazine is nning to do a series of interviews, and Mr. Huo is currently a prominent figure in Nancheng.
Since we¡¯re now family, could you do me a favor and let me interview him?¡±
An interview?
Su Wanwan looked towards the man on the couch, ¡°My cousin wants to
interview you, would you¡¡±
¡°No.¡±
Su Wanwan ryed the message immediately, ¡°He said no.¡±
Qiao Zixin:
¡°Hang up,¡± he said.
¡°Wait a minute!¡± Qiao Zixin halted her, ¡°There¡¯s one more thing.¡±
Su Wanwan felt that her cousin had been causing more problems than usual.
¡°I¡¯ve lost one of my earrings, and I can¡¯t find it anywhere. That earring was a gift from my ex-boyfriend, and I really liked it. Even though we broke up, it¡¯s still a sort of memento he left me.¡±
Qiao Zixin feigned a sigh, ¡°Wanwan, could you ask Mr. Huo to look for it in his car? I rode his car yesterday, so it might¡¯ve fallen off in there. If he finds it, I cane over to pick it up right away, it won¡¯t be an inconvenience.¡±
Su Wanwan turned to the man on the couch again, ¡°My cousin said she lost her
earring in your car.¡±
¡°No,¡± he replied.
¡°He said no,¡± she ryed to her cousin.
Qiao Zixin:
¡°Hang up.¡±

*
Qiao family.
After being hung up on, Qiao Zixin was so angry her face turned green.
This damn girl. She only wanted his phone number and she would not give it despite her constant nagging. She was forced to mention the earrings and in the end, he didn¡¯t even bother to look for it and just said there¡¯s none of it.
That pair of earrings was a luxury brand she had bought from an overseas shopping spree, and they cost several thousand yuan.
She usually didn¡¯t dare to wear them and had only put them on to dress up for that day. Now, not only had she failed to get Huo Jingshen¡¯s phone number, but she had also lost one of the earrings¡
This was truly a double loss.
*
*
Just as Su Wanwan put down her phone, ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡±
Is this guy The sh?
He moves so swiftly, it¡¯s breathtaking!
Huo Jingshen bent down and looked at her.
Squinting his eyes, he asked in a low voice, ¡°What do you think?¡±
After that, he took a step forward.
Frightened by his gaze, Su Wanwan could only mutter, ¡°But I just got my
period.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± he said.
Su Wanwan:
Crap!
Su Wanwan red at him, ¡°But my stomach hurts.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing her.
¡°It¡¯s true, my stomach hurts a lot,¡± Su Wanwan quickly exined, ¡°When I went out for dinner with my cousin yesterday, I ate tworge cups of ice cream, and now I¡¯m experiencing severe period cramps.¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t speak, but after a few steps, he put her down.
SU Wanwan was a little scared as she struggled to push him away, ¡°My stomach
really hurts, get away, don¡¯t touch me¡¡±
A flicker of displeasure crossed the man¡¯s darkened eyes and brows.
Only moments ago, he was not in the mood.
¡°Ah!¡±
Tears welled up from Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes from the pain.
What the hell? Is this guy part dog?
Did he just bite her neck?
-So jumpy that your stomach hurts?¡± Huo Jingshen asked doubtfully, ¡°Baby, are
you sure you¡¯re not lying to me?¡±
¡°If I¡¯m lying, I¡¯m a dog, okay?¡±
Su Wanwan was about to explode with frustration.
She was indeed in a little pain.
She was okay earlier, but after such a rough struggle, the heavy feeling was rather ufortable.
¡°I¡¯ll check,¡± he said.
¡°Check your sister!¡± Su Wanwan red at him fiercely, ¡°Do you have no trust in
me at all?¡±
Huo Jingshen:
His temples throbbed with a pounding headache.
After a while, he got up and left.
When he returned to the bedroom, Su Wanwan was already sitting obediently on the couch. She did her pajamas up meticulously and looked at him with an innocent expression, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t say a word.
His handsome face was still gloomy as a dark cloud.
¡°I didn¡¯t eat anything at the wedding today, my stomach is now both hungry
and hurting, can you help me order takeout?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her.
The ce where she bit him earlier was obvious and rather startling, seemingly oozing a bit of blood.
Plus her eyes were filled with two sparkling tears at the moment. It was unclear whether they were from the pain of his bite, or menstrual difort¡
For some unknown reason, Huo Jingshen suddenly recalled the time when Jinghua would experience menstrual pain every month.
The severest incident scared Fu Xihan so much that he directly took her to the hospital, threatening doctors with a gun. They were almost taken to the police station.
Bringing himself back to the present, he indifferently responded: ¡°I don¡¯t eat
takeout.¡±
-Then why did you send Aunt Liu away!¡± Su Wanwan immediately used sharply.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s dark pupils narrowed, she immediately backed down, murmuring in a soft voice, ¡°¡Uh, anyway, I can¡¯t cook, so what am I supposed to eat if not takeout?¡±
11 11
The room remained quiet.
After a while, Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Come down to eat in an hour.¡±
With those words, he pulled open the bedroom door and left.
*

10 minutester, Su Wanwan, dressed in her pajamas, came downstairs.
Upon reaching the living room, she could hear the ¡°nging¡± soundsing from the kitchen.
She walked over to take a look, nearly believing that she was going blind.
Huo Jingshen was standing upright inside the kitchen¡
Chopping vegetables?
He had undone three buttons on his shirt cor, had his sleeves rolled up, held a vegetable knife in his hand, and was wearing a ck half-apron around his waist. His movements were swift, handsome, and proficient.
Even though it was such a mundane task, he made it seem natural and harmonious, as if nothing could be more typical.
Under the bright kitchen lights, a tall and mature man wearing a white shirt was cooking. It was like a scene from a South Korean drama¡
Upon hearing a sound, he turned around, ¡°Drink the brown sugar water on the
table.¡±
¡°Why should I drink that?¡± Su Wanwan reflexively asked.
¡°Aren¡¯t you having a stomachache?
Under his momentarily skeptical gaze, Su Wanwan quickly realized and went
over to pick up the cup of brown sugar water.
She took a sip and the warm liquid indeed made her feel morefortable.
So, Su Wanwan stood in the kitchen, sipping, while watching the man work.
The more she watched, the more it felt like a dream.
He knew that women would have stomachaches during their periods and that brown sugar water could help. He even helped her prepare it, and was now cooking for her¡
¡°You didn¡¯t happen to buy the sanitary pads for me too, did you?¡± Su Wanwan blurted.
Huo Jingshen ced the freshly cut potato strips in a bowl filled with water Under the kitchen light his stern features looked a lot gentler, ¡°Someone will deliver them soon.¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Wow, what kind of extraordinary man did she marry?
Handsome, rich, able to cook, and even prepared her brown sugar water when she was feeling ufortable.
Is this how older men usually behave?
Because of their abundant past rtionships?
And so, they understood women better?
The instant she thought of this, her fleeting feelings of being moved vanished, Su Wanwan frowned, gave a snort, put the brown sugar water back on the table, and turned around huffily to leave.
¡°Finish the brown sugar water.¡±
Su Wanwan stopped in her tracks.
¡°I don¡¯t like repeating myself.¡± He spoke with a slightly harsher tone, exuding
an undeniable authoritative pressure.
As expected, all that gentle consideration, everything was an illusion!
Su Wanwan took a few steps back, grudgingly picked up the ss of brown sugar water, drank it up, and then huffed off.
*
*
In the living room, Su Wanwan yed the game ¡°Honor of Kings¡± while leisurely sipping her brown sugar water.
Just after she finished a tier match, the doorbell rang.
Soon after, hurried footsteps could be heard. Ji Jie, holding a supermarket bag, rushed in.
Upon seeing Su Wanwan, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, wearing pink pajamas with a bear pattern, and a very prominent hickey on her neck¡ Ji Jie¡¯s legs started trembling, and he almost dropped the bag he was holding. Indeed, ¡°don¡¯t judge a book by its cover,¡± though President Huo appears to be refined, he could be absolutely ruthless.
And how intensely passionate was he?
He bit thedy so hard that it drew blood and was not willing to let go even during her special period?
Tsk tsk tsk.
It was simply¡.
He didn¡¯t dare to look anymore, with eyes closed, he quiveringly said,
¡°Hel¡hello, madam.¡±
Su Wanwan looked down at herself.
She was wearing modest pajamas, there was nothing inappropriate about her appearance.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with your eyes?¡± Su Wanwan asked.
¡°I¡I think I just got something in my eye¡
As Ji Jie was halfway through his sentence, Huo Jingshen had alreadye out of the kitchen.
With an apron on his body, and two dishes in his hands that were still emitting warm steam, he looked like an exemry homely man.
Ji Jie¡¯s eyes were instantly blinded again.
My lord, is this the same aloof, haughty, and noble executive who always seems to float above the clouds?
He¡¯s actually¡doing housework?
¡°Where are the things?¡± Huo Jingshen asked.
Ji Jie quickly came back to his senses, ¡°Mr. Huo, here are the sanitary pads you needed.¡±
¡°Pfft-¡±
Su Wanwan nearly spit her mouthful of the brown sugar water.
Huo Jingshen took the bag and gave Ji Jie a sideway nce.
Though he didn¡¯t say anything, his re was as sharp as a dagger, frightening Ji Jie into apologizing hastily: ¡°Sorry, Mr. Huo, I misspoke, not your sanitary pads, urn, I mean this isn¡¯t for you, it¡¯s for madam¡¡±
¡°You can leave now.¡± Huo Jingshen cut him off, his face bing cold.
¡ö¡¯Yes, Mr. Huo, I will leave now, goodbye Mr. Huo, goodbye Madam.¡± After saying this, Ji Jie turned around and fled.
If he stayed even one second longer, he feared his job might not be secure anymore..
Chapter 89 - 89: 089, is this a request for inspection?
Chapter 89: is this a request for inspection?
Trantor: 549690339 |
Huo Jingshen tossed the bag onto the sofa, ¡°Go change, wash your hands, ande eat.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan obediently leaves.
When she returned, the entire living room seemed to be filled with the aroma of food.
In the open kitchen, four dishes and a soup had already been set up on the table, all of which were very meticulously prepared and even artistically presented; it was a feast for the eyes and the pte that was sure to stimte the appetite.
Su Wenwen immediately picks up a slice of meat with her chopsticks and puts it in her mouth.
It¡¯s so delicious she could almost cry.
You¡¯re amazing, you even know how to cook, who taught you? You¡¯re so good It¡¯s really yummy¡¡±Su Wanwan praised as she ate.
¡°Call me hubby.¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted, his expression suddenly stern.
Su Wanwan puckers her lips.
Forget it then, she decided to stop praising him, instead focusing on her meal.
Huo Jingshen raised his wine ss, poured himself a drink, and brought it to his lips.
¡°Can I have a little red wine?¡± The youngdy started talking again.
Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids, looking at her with a cold gaze, ¡®You want some?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded vigorously.
She hadn¡¯t touched alcohol in a long time, and just the smell of the rich wine aroma was almost too much to bear.
Looking eagerly at the wine ss in his hand, she couldn¡¯t help but lick her lips.
This seems to be Lafite¡
Huo Jingshen:
The adams apple in his throat moved quickly, and he spoke in a hoarse voice,
¡°You¡¯re on your period, you should stick to soup.¡±
¡°Stingy!¡±
Su Wanwan huffed, burying her head to continue eating.
But she had to admit, this old man¡¯s cooking was indeedmendable.
Although it was justmon home-cooked dishes, each dish was made to a standard that was not inferior to a restaurant¡¯s, especially such borate presentations apanied by red wine, making the ordinary act of cooking a meal seem aristocratic.
Finally satisfied, Su Wanwan patted her stomach, feeling content from the inside out.
¡°Full?¡± Huo Jingshen looked at her.
Su Wanwan nodded, ¡°Can you cook from now on?¡±
His slender and beautiful fingers gently swirled the liquid in the wine ss, and suddenly, he spoke, ¡°I cook for you, what will you do for me?¡±
¡°Do¡¡±
Su Wanwan reacted btedly, her face instantly blushing a deep red.
Oh God.
Does he have to make such advances all day?
¡°Why are you blushing?¡± Huo Jingshen watched her leisurely.
That expression, just like a sly old fox.
Su Wanwan chose to retreat, Tm going upstairs!¡±
Huo Jingshen sat there, ying with the wine ss in his hands, his dark eyes fell on her retreating figure.
The room returned to quiet.
The time was now over seven o¡¯clock in the evening.
It should be eleven in the morning in the United Kingdom.
*
*
As soon as Su Wanwan got upstairs, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she almost wanted to curse.
It¡¯s Qiao Zixin again!
¡°Hello!¡± Su Wanwan said, her tone abrasive.
¡°Wanwan, it¡¯s me.¡± Qiao Zixin was cautious, ¡°The thing is, I just searched carefully again and still can¡¯t find my earring. Could you help me look for it again, please? You could check the corners and underneath the backseat of the car. Please, that earring is really important to me.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Got it.¡±
After hanging up the phone, she returned downstairs again.
However, there was no one to be found in the living room or the dining room.
Noticing the balcony door open, she immediately walked over.
¡°You send me all the files from the orphanage back then, on Yan¡¡±
She only heard that much before the call ended.
Huo Jingshen put down his phone and took a puff from the cigarette tucked between his lips.
The sky was dark, the lights on the balcony were slightly dim, making his expression under the smoke seem even more enigmatic.
¡°What is it?¡± Huo Jingshen asked.
Su Wanwan blinked, ¡°Where are your car keys? Let me use them.¡±
¡°For what?¡±
¡°What¡¯s with your attitude?¡± Su Wanwan felt that he was acting mysterious, Are you afraid that I¡¯ll find another woman¡¯s belongings in your car?¡±
Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips, ¡°Are you checking up on me, darling?¡±
¡°Right, are you giving me the keys or not?¡± Su Wanwan finished speaking and reached out her hand.
Huo Jingshen looked at the small hand in front of him.
Bright and tender, with long fingers, round and cute fingertips, and neatly trimmed nails with no nail polish.
Beneath her raised eyebrows, his thin lips slowly exhaled smoke, his voice unrushed, ¡°Find it yourself, left pocket.¡±
With one hand holding a cigarette and the other a phone, he was clearly a little hindered.
Without suspecting him, Su Wanwan steps forward and puts her hand into the
left pocket of his suit pants, ¡°There¡¯s nothing there!¡±
¡°Are you an idiot? The left side.¡±
¡°Who asked you not to be clear about whose left you were talking about?¡±
Is it my fault?
Su Wanwan pulled back her hand and moved to the right pocket, she searched thoroughly, ¡°Still not there.¡±
¡°Behind.¡±
¡°Damn, why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Su Wanwan cursed in frustration.
After ring at him, she put her hand in the back pocket.
Hmm.
Who would have thought that the old man¡¯s figure would be so good?
You can¡¯t really tell casually, but he even has muscles¡
Suddenly, her wrist was caught by a strong hand.
Huo Jingshen lowered his head, his deep ck pupils looking at the small girl who was a full head shorter than him, ¡°What do you want to do?¡±
Su Wanwan opened her clear eyes wide, looking innocent, pure and naive.
¡°Back and forth, left and right, you¡¯re not satisfied yet?¡±
Su Wenwen, again:¡±¡.¡±
Chapter 90 - 90: 090, Xiaobai, do I look good like this?
Chapter 90: Xiaobai, do I look good like this?
Trantor: 549690339
Her body shivered, shaking with rage: ¡°You¡ are you insane?!¡±
¡°Am I insane?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was low, but firm.
Su Wanwan felt suddenly petrified by his intense gaze, ¡°I¡I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Who knew you¡¡±
Meaning, it¡¯s all your fault!
¡°Oh?¡±
Huo Jingshen lifted his attractive lips.
In the dim light, his handsome profile appeared somewhat wickedly charming: ¡°Then, tell me who I should me?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s face paled. She felt as if her perceptions were about to shatter.
Why on earth was she discussing this topic on the balcony with him?
¡°Aaaargh! I want a divorce!¡± Su Wanwan screamed in desperation.
What kind of man had she married?
She! Wanted! A! Divorce!

Lishui Bay Vi.
After Mo Weiyi had finished taking a shower, he opened his newly delivered phone and the first thing he did was add Huo Jingshen on WeChat.
But he didn¡¯t get a response for a long time.
With no other option, he ended up calling Su Wanwan.
The call got through quickly.
Mo Weiyi leaned back,fortably reclining on his sofa, ¡°Baby Wanwan, what are you doing?¡±
¡°I¡¯m busy¡±. Su Wanwan panted slightly, ¡°Gotta hang up now, we¡¯ll talkter.¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked his clear cat-like eyes. Considering how Huo Jingshen¡¯s WeChat hadn¡¯t responded for a while now, could it be possible that¡?
¡°Holy crap, are you doing ¡®naughty things¡¯ with Mr. Huo right now?¡±
¡°Cough cough! Cough!¡± Su Wanwan choked out, ¡°Are you nuts? I¡¯m looking for something in the garage! Can you stop with the nonsense?¡±
¡°Garage, huh?¡± Mo Weiyi crooked his face, making a startling statement, ¡°So you can do it in the garage too?¡±
This location¡
Hmm, she and Xiaobai haven¡¯t tried that yet!
¡°Mo Xiaose! Can you be serious?¡± Su Wanwan exined incredulously, ¡°My cousin said she lost a red earring in the car, she called several times insisting that I find it. I¡¯ve turned over the entire garage now and can¡¯t find anything. I¡¯m about to die from the heat¡¡±
¡°Wait. You¡¯re saying Qiao Zixin lost her earring in Mr. Huo¡¯s car?¡± Mo Weiyi interrupted her abruptly.
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°When did this happen?¡±
¡°Justst night, she suddenly asked me for dinner. After dinner, it was raining, so she got a ride with us. Now she¡¯s saying her earring got lost in the car¡±. Su Wanwan sounded extremely annoyed, ¡°Right now, she¡¯s looking for me to find it. Even though I keep telling her I haven¡¯t found it, she won¡¯t listen. It¡¯s so annoying.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
After ending the call, she got up, found the red earring from her bag.
This earring is from a ssic Australian jewelry brand. Even though it¡¯s not a top-tier luxury item, considering Qiao Zixin¡¯s ie and consumption level, it should be considered a high-end product.
Did she need to wear such an expensive piece of jewelry when inviting her cousin for a meal?
Was she unting her wealth or did she have ulterior motives?
And she also ¡®identally¡¯ lost it?
Conveniently, it just happened to fall in Mr. Huo¡¯s car?
Tsk tsk tsk. No matter how one looked at this situation, it felt like a deliberate scheme to create an opportunity to meet with Mr. Huo.
With these thoughts, Mo Weiyi put the earring back in her bag and went to her dressing table.
So when Xiao Yebai entered the room, he saw her rummaging through her drawers.
¡°Xiaobai, have you seen my pair of red Shinore earrings?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°That¡¯s strange, I clearly put it here, howe it¡¯s gone?¡±
The pair of earrings was a birthday gift from her father, Mo Yaoxiong, on her eighteenth birthday.
Although they were worth nearly 100,000, because of their shy color, which didn¡¯t go well with most outfits, she hardly ever wore them. They were kept in the drawer, along with the original packaging.
But now, though the outer box was still there, the earrings inside were gone. Where could they have gone?
Xiao Yebai sat down by the sofa, picking up an iPad beside him.
¡°I can¡¯t find them, this is so strange, how did they disappear?¡± Mo Weiyi mumbled while continuing to search. Eventually, after turning the entire dressing table inside out, she gave up despondently.
Soon enough, she found another pair of pink earrings to rece the previous ones.
After wearing the matching ne, bracelet and diamond ring, she turned around, glimmering all over, and asked, ¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai, do I look good like this?¡±
Xiao Yebai was engrossed in the iPad, seemingly didn¡¯t hear her interest and did not respond.
¡°Xiaobai!¡± Mo Weiyi pouted and took his iPad away, cing it aside.
Xiao Yebai barely opened his eyes.
At home, he didn¡¯t wear his in sses. His ck shirt unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and firm corbone.
Under the light, the man¡¯s skin was as white as jade, but because of his dark attire, he gave off a cold and indifferent aura.
For a moment, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
But when Mo Weiyi looked closely, his eyes appeared clear and soft as if void of any emotion.
Xiao Yebai looked at the charming little face in front of him. Without makeup, it was still delicately radiant. With thin lips, he said nonchntly, ¡°Pretty.¡±
Though it was half-hearted, Mo Weiyi epted hispliment, walked back to her dressing table and started removing her jewelry.
She came back after a few minutes.
She sat right down on the couch, hugging the man¡¯s neck, ¡°Xiaobai, do you know what¡¯s the day after tomorrow?¡±
Chapter 91 - 91: 091,1 love Xiaobai the most
Chapter 91:1 love Xiaobai the most
Trantor: 549690339
Xiao Yebai had no choice but to put the tablet he had just picked up back down again, ¡°What day?¡±
¡°You forgot again!¡± Mo Weiyi pouted, looking unhappy.
The man¡¯s eyebrows twitched rapidly, then he said with an indifferent tone, ¡°I¡¯ve been too busytely.¡±
¡°When are you not busy? Every time I ask you, it¡¯s always ¡®busy, busy, busy.''¡± Mo Weiyi stroked his stiff short ck hair at the back of his neck and finally said directly, ¡°The day after tomorrow is our wedding anniversary.¡±
Xiao Yebai hooked his thin lips, ¡°What gift do you want?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t tell you,¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her face, her fluffy, beautiful curls cascading from her delicate shoulders. A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled with charm, ¡°This time you decide what to give me. Just to be clear, I don¡¯t want any jewelry anymore.¡±
¡°So,¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s thin lips curved deeper, revealing a somewhat frivolous smile, ¡°you don¡¯t like the jewelry I¡¯ve given you before?¡±
¡°No, no!¡± Mo Weiyi hurriedly denied, ¡°Of course I like what Xiaobai gives me, but there¡¯s just too much jewelry. You give me jewelry, my father also likes to give me jewelry, and so does my grandfather¡ so this time, I want something different.¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say anything. He dropped his eyelids, and a faint emotion spread in his eyes.
She thinks there¡¯s too much jewelry?
Heh.
As expected of the pampered girl who is adored by everyone, even her worries about receiving gifts are different from ordinary girls.¡¯
Mo Weiyi¡¯s coquettish voice continued, ¡°So you better think about it. It doesn¡¯t matter about the price, as long as it can make me happy and touched. Xiaobai, Xiaobai¡ Xiaobai, did you hear that?¡±
Xiao Yebai calmly lifted his eyelids, his face asposed and calm as ever, ¡°Okay.¡±
Mo Weiyi was very happy, ¡°I¡¯ll also give you a surprise then.¡±
Xiao Yebai curved his thin lips again.
Her surprise?
¡°Is it going to be burnt meals, weird sketchings, or perhaps, a scarf that unraveled after I wore it once?¡±
Right away, Mo Weiyi¡¯s face turned red from embarrassment, ¡°Xiaobai, how¡ how do you still remember those things?¡±
She thought giving watches, ties and clothes to her partner every time was too monotonous, so each time she would start to prepare with careful thought ahead of time. Who knew¡ almost all of them ended disastrously.
Apart from the good looks she was blessed with, her talents in other areas were just average.
She was bad at cooking and average at studying, let alone anything artistic: music, dance, painting, she was no good at any of them.
Even though her grandma used to be quite a famous musician domestically, it seemed like she didn¡¯t inherit any musical genes at all.
¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t care, you better think about it carefully in these two days, understand?¡± Mo Weiyi deliberately put on a stern face, issuing the final decree.
Under the orange light in the room, she was wearing a puff-sleeved white nightgown with a faint blush on her face. Although she was embarrassed, she kept staring at him with her eye wide open, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, even her cheeks were puffed up, looking like an angry little kitten, adorably fierce¡
Kind of cute.
And somewhat¡ unexpectedly charming.
Xiao Yebai only felt as if his heart was torn open by something, and before he realized it¡
¡°Alright.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes lit up immediately, and she threw her arms around him, rubbing against him like a spoiled child inside his arms, ¡°Xiaobai treats me the best, I love Xiaobai the most, ying ying ying.¡±
Xiao Yebai:

The next morning, Xiao Yebai went to thepany, while Mo Weiyi went back to her room to get herself ready.
Finally, she stood in front of the dressing mirror, ¡°Mrs. Jiang, do I look good like this?¡±
The maid who was cleaning looked up and then praised with a smile, ¡°Princess, you look really beautiful this way.¡±
Mo Weiyi gave a faint smile, straightened her soft curls casually and asked, ¡°By the way, Mrs. Jiang, have you seen my red earrings that I put in the cab?¡±
The maid paused in her cleaning, then answered casually, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen them. Princess, did you put them somewhere else?¡±
¡°I left them here. The jewelry box is still there, but the earrings are gone. It¡¯s really strange.¡± Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, her mood somewhat affected by the sudden loss of an item.
Although she didn¡¯t like the earrings, they were a symbol of her adult birthday gift from Mo Yaoxiong, containing sentimental value.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll help Princess look for themter.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mo Weiyi grabbed her handbag, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a bit and will be back this afternoon. You don¡¯t need to prepare lunch.¡±
¡°Alright, please be careful on the road, Princess.¡±

An hourter.
Mo Weiyi got out of the car, confidently walked in her high heels into the office building, then took the elevator straight to the 20th floor.
Amid the peak of the work day,pared to the surrounding soberly- or seriously-dressed office workers, her 5¡¯7¡å height, her tall and slender figure, her distinctly feminine floral maxi dress, her dense seaweed-like curls, therge sunsses covering most of her face, and the meticulously applied red lipstick on her lips, exhibited a stunning beauty.
She was really beautiful.
Brazenly attracting side nces from others.
Once she was on the 20th floor, she exited the elevator, nced at the room number, and gracefully walked into the magazine publishing office.
¡°Excuse me, Miss, who are you looking for?¡± The receptionist couldn¡¯t hide her envy.
¡°I¡¯m looking for¡¡± Her slender finger removed her sunsses, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, ¡°Qiao Zixin..¡±
Chapter 92 - 92: 092, stay a bit further from married men
Chapter 92: stay a bit further from married men
Trantor: 549690339
Qiao Zixin was surprised to hear the name, Mo Weiyi.
This young princess of the Mo family, everyone in Nancheng pretty much ¡°knows her name and face¡±.
She was born with a silver spoon, blessed with delicate beauty by God. At the age of eighteen, she married Xiao Yebai, the adopted son of the Mo family, in a high profile. Since then, they have be the model couple of high society.
Because of the Mo family¡¯s position, and her friendship with Su Wanwan, Qiao Zixin naturally also knew her. However, they¡¯ve never interacted, and Qiao Zixin couldn¡¯t imagine why the young miss Mo would personallye to the magazine to find her.
Unable to understand, Qiao Zixin hurriedly put on some makeup before hurrying to the reception room.
When she opened the door, Mo Weiyi was sitting on the sofa, looking morous.
She was wearing a sleeveless floral dress, in a bright color. Her dark curled hair was gathered to her right shoulder, revealing her delicate, beautiful face and the sparkling pink diamond earrings on her left ear.
Moving down, a matching ne was worn on her graceful and slim neck. Apart from the two bandaids on her neck, she was elegant, bright and luxurious. She had a true air of an hautedy.
Upon seeing Qiao Zixin, she gave a faint smile, then gestured with her hand, ¡°Cousin, please sit.¡±
The first thing that caught Qiao Zixin¡¯s eye was the bracelet on Mo Weiyi¡¯s left wrist, along with the diamond wedding ring on her ring finger.
Was this a¡ disy of diamond jewelry?
From head to toe, she was glittering, all dolled up; she was morevish than when she attended the wedding yesterday.
Qiao Zixin grumbled internally but still maintained a polite smile on her face, ¡°Miss Mo is too polite.¡±
¡°Not at all, you¡¯re Wanwan¡¯s cousin, and you¡¯re five years older than us. There¡¯s a generational gap in every three years, so I should call you cousin.¡± Mo Weiyi said, her red lips slightly pursed, her tone was soft as usual, but every word she spoke carried a thorn.
Qiao Zixin felt a vague difort in her heart and decided to be frank, ¡°I don¡¯t know why Miss Mo is looking for me?¡±
¡°Eh, you don¡¯t know why I came to find you?¡± Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful eyes, her tone surprised.
¡°Miss Mo, feel free to speak.¡±
¡°Originally, I wanted to have some green tea before discussing business, but who knew making green tea could be such a hassle. It can¡¯t cool down even after so long.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s slender fingers caressed a hot disposable paper cup, ¡°If I had known, I would have had mineral water instead, it¡¯s even cleaner than green tea.¡±
Qiao Zixin frowned, feeling like she was being indirectly insulted.
But that wasn¡¯t right, she has never offended the little princess.
After saying those words, Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t say anything further and just looked at Qiao Zixin with her beautiful cat eyes.
This made her feel irritated.
¡°Miss Mo.¡±
Qiao Zixin couldn¡¯t help but stand up, ¡°It¡¯s morning now, and I have a lot of work to do. If it¡¯s nothing urgent, I think I¡¯d better get back to work.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Mo Weiyi said, putting a bag on the table.
Qiao Zixin¡¯s eyes lit up.
All women love bags, and she was no exception.
This was a newly released limited edition chinklin model from Paris a few days ago. It was said to be worth several hundred thousand RMB. This was her first time seeing it in person. It was a beautiful cherry red, it was simply breathtaking.
I heard from Wanwan that you lost an earring, this one?¡±
Qiao Zixin quickly recovered her senses.
When she saw clearly what was in Mo Weiyi¡¯s hand, her face changed dramatically.
Why would this earring be in Mo Weiyi¡¯s hand?
¡°Giving it back to you.¡± Mo Weiyi stood up and handed the earring.
Qiao Zixin could only reach out to take it.
But as she was about to touch it, Mo Weiyi suddenly let go.
With a ¡°pop¡±, the earring fell on the table.
Qiao Zixin was hurt and quickly picked up the earring to inspect it.
¡°Sorry, my hand slipped, is it broken?¡±
Qiao Zixin didn¡¯t say a word.
¡°Is it broken?¡± Mo Weiyi asked again, ¡°Then I¡¯ll repay you. Do you like the earrings I¡¯m wearing? They aren¡¯t expensive, just several tens of thousands, it¡¯s my first time wearing them today. Cousin, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll give them to you.¡±
As she spoke, she pretended to remove them.
¡°No thanks.¡± Qiao Zixin¡¯s tone was stiff.
No matter how much she loved money, she didn¡¯t like being pitied by other women, especially not by a girl five years younger than her.
¡°Cousin is much more generous, not like other women.¡± Mo Weiyi withdrew her hand, her eyes curving withughter, ¡°Did you know? When I was fifteen, my dad took a liking to a dancer in a club. She was only three years older than me, but desperately wanted to be my stepmother. Guess what happened next?¡± Qiao Zixin clenched her fingers, suddenly feeling inexplicably guilty.
Because I wasn¡¯t happy, my mom confronted the dancer and gave her two choices: one, break up with my dad and receive a hefty sum as a break-up fee; or two, sign an agreement, take no money, but continue to be my father¡¯s mistress. Eventually, she chose to break up, took the money and left the country. However, she had a car ident midway. She survived, but has been in a vegetative state ever since. They say she¡¯s still lying in the hospital.¡± Mo Weiyi spoke indifferently. Although it was a bloody story, she delivered it as if it was merely some inconsequential gossip.
¡°Cousin is seven years older than her, I believe you should be smarter. Finding a man is like walking ¨C if you take a wrong turn or stray from your path, it could be fatal. Especially when ites to morally reprehensible acts like ruining someone else¡¯s marriage and family, you should never touch that. Being a mistress always brings its own retribution¡¡±
-What do you mean by that?¡± Unable to hold back any longer, Qiao Zixin interrupted, her face turning increasingly stiff and gloomy.
¡°Are you still going to pretend not to understand?¡± The smile on Mo Weiyi¡¯s face slowly faded away.
She stood up.
With her one-meter seventy height, on top of her high heels, she exuded an aura of power and dominance.
¡°Stay away from married men, and don¡¯t harbour intentions you shouldn¡¯t have.¡±
Qiao Zixin felt like all the blood in her body was rushing to her head, her heart pounding violently. After a while, she managed to control her emotions, feigning nonchnce, ¡°Miss Mo, are you mistaken? I merely wanted to interview Mr. Huo, hence I asked Wanwan to assist me over a meal. It just so happened that it was raining that day, and Mr. Huo kindly gave me a ride, thus my earring fell into his car.¡±
¡°Did I mention Mr. Huo?¡± Mo Weiyi raised her eyebrows, a sly smile in her eyes.
Qiao Zixin was utterly stunned.
Mo Weiyiughed, picked up her bag from the table, and said in a careless tone, ¡°The video of Xing Yuyun sleeping with a female actress is still with me. I hope you will take it as a warning and not make me dig up your past with your ex-boyfriend.¡±
¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Qiao Zixin was infuriated and ashamed. She never thought she would be threatened by a young girl.
¡°Wanwan is my best friend, her matters are my matters. If she¡¯s unhappy, I¡¯ll be unhappy too. Offending me is the same as offending the Mo Family. Remember what you said today, or else¡ you know what the consequences will
After saying this, Mo Weiyi left.
Qiao Zixin sat there, tightly biting her lip, her face filled with resentment.
Then, all of a sudden, she picked up the cup of green tea from the table and smashed it to the ground.
*
*
After getting into the car, Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan to invite her out for dinner.
An hourter, the two met at the entrance of the mall.
Because it was that time of the month and she wantedfort, Su Wanwan wore a pair of denim short shorts and a yellow embroidered biouse. She didn¡¯t dress up much, she lookedpletely casual next to the flirtatious, floor-length dressed Mo Weiyi.
¡°Why do I feel like your little follower?¡±
Mo Weiyiughingly held her hand, ¡°Baby Wanwan is so beautiful, clearly she¡¯s my twin sister.¡±
Pretty, loves to act cute, and speaks softly¡ Mo Xiaose is simply a little vixen!
Su Wanwan groaned, ¡°Are you nning to splurge again?¡±
I¡¯m buying a present for Xiaobai, spending money on Xiaobai¡¯s gifts doesn¡¯t count as squandering!¡± Mo Weiyi retorted confidently and quickly pulled her towards the shopping mall, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat on the 10th floor first, I¡¯m starving.¡±
*
*
After finishing their meal, the two of them each held a cup of milk tea and headed to the men¡¯s section on the 9th floor.
¡°Wanwan, after school starts, should we share a dorm room?¡±
Surprised, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Will Xiaobai agree?¡±
¡°If you want to stay, stay. If not, just go home. South University is very understanding when ites to students who are married.¡±
Su Wanwan pursed her lips, suddenly her eyes lit up, ¡°Sure, sure, sure!¡±
Then, she thought, five days a week, she would be in a dorm, out of reach from a certain person, haha!
Who would have thought that less than a monthter, on a dark windy night, a certain man shoved her onto the single bed in her dorm room, undid his belt¡¯ with one hand, ¡°I¡¯m out of reach? Baby, do you want to see exactly¡ how long it is?¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry.
Is anyone here? The old man is harassing again!
Chapter 93 - 93: 093, is someone stealing your thunder?

Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°Oh right, you¡¯d better watch out for Qiao Zixin in the future,¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly said.
Su Wanwan took a sip of her hot milk tea, ¡°What¡¯s up with her?
¡°I¡¯ve heard that she likes to date rich and handsome men. All of her previous boyfriends were either rich heirs or nouveau riche. Your husband, Huo Yuan, is wealthy, handsome and tall. Be careful that she doesn¡¯t steal him away,¡±
warned Mo.
¡°Pffft!¡±
A mouthful of milk tea sprayed out. That grumpy and perverted old man has people trying to steal him away?
¡°I am begging her, please hurry up and steal him away!¡± Su Wanwan blurted
out.
Mo Weiyi widened her cat eyes, ¡°What are you talking about?
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and suddenly walked straight forward, ¡°Oh, this men¡¯s clothing store looks good, is it new? Let¡¯s check it out!¡±
Mo Weiyi:
¡°Wee!¡± The saleswoman greeted warmly.
Upon entering the store, Mo Weiyi seemingly forgot about the discussion regarding Qiao Zixin. She held her branded bag, donned a full set of expensive diamond jewelry, and strutted in her high crystal heels, just like a queen walking on a shiny tiled floor.
-The quality of this shirt is good; Xiaobai would definitely look handsome in this. Bring me one of each color; his height is one meter eighty eight, she instructed.
¡°This suit would be suitable for Xiaobai when he attends banquets; pack it for
me,¡± she continued her shopping spree.
¡°Do you have any ckbelts? Bring me ten of them; Xiaobai really likes the color ck,¡± she mentioned lightheartedly.
¡°Wow, you even sell underwear! Bring me¡.¡±, she started saying before suddenly realizing there were other people around. Mo Weiyi then lowered her voice, ¡°one meter eighty-eight, the biggest size, only in ck. Bring me twenty pairs.¡±
The saleswoman blushed. She wasn¡¯t sure whether her rosy cheeks were a result of enthusiasm or embarrassment,Sure, miss.¡±
Finally, Su Wanwan looked at the pile of packages that resembled a small mountain in front of her, ¡°Are you insane, buying so much?¡±
Mo Weiyi shrugged helplessly, ¡°Every time I give Xiaobai a gift, he barely shows any emotions. I have no idea what he really likes, so I thought I¡¯d buy everything and let him choose.¡±
¡°You spendthrift!¡± Su Wanwan blurted out.
Mo Weiyi grinned, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to buy something for Mr. Huo?¡±
¡°I am broke!¡± any single pair of underwear costs thousands, are they made of gold? Can he ascend to heaven once he puts it on?¡± she retorted.
Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, ¡°You mean to tell me that Mrs. Huo, wife of the rich boss Huo Yuan doesn¡¯t have money?¡±
¡°Huo Yuan is not my sugar daddy,¡± she stated bluntly. Being caught up with life¡¯s eventstely and not receiving her living expenses during herst visit to the Su Family, there hasn¡¯t been any need to spend money since everything including food and board was covered while living in Imperial Court.
¡°That¡¯s where you¡¯re wrong Wanwan,¡± Mo Weiyi chastised, ¡°a woman must have control over the financial matters. With millions flowing into Mr. Huo¡¯s ount just by sitting in the office all day, isn¡¯t that money intended for the wife to spend?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded, ¡°Makes sense.¡±
¡°You¡¯re married now, and as a student who doesn¡¯t have the ability to earn money, you need to be supported by a man, right?
¡°Hmm,¡± Su Wanwan kept nodding.
¡°This card is a subsidiary card of Xiaobai¡¯s, ask Mr. Huo to also get you one,¡± Mo Weiyi said, and casually handed it over, ¡°Charge it.
*
*
Meanwhile, Mo Group, CEO¡¯s office.
A message popped on his screen: ¡°Your card ending with 4369 has been charged 586,870 RMB in ** store¡¡±
Xiao Yebai nced at the message before tossing his phone aside.
About half an hourter, the phone rang again. The screen showed ¡°My sweetie Yiyi¡±.
¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯ve bought all your gifts. I picked for a long time and bought quite a lot. Holding them all has made my hands sore. You would surely like them. So¡ have you thought about my gift yet?
Xiao Yebai listened to her chattering voice, but his gaze was focused on the red and green graphs on hisputer screen, and said indifferently, ¡°No.
¡°That¡¯s okay. There¡¯s still half a day left. Take your time to think, I¡¯m waiting for your surprise.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the internal line.
Soon, the assistant entered the room, bowing his head respectfully, ¡°Mr. Xiao.¡±
¡°Prepare a gift for the princess, no jewelry.¡±
The assistant had a puzzled expression.
Without jewelry, then what? Haven¡¯t they been giving the princess jewelry for years? He had almost be a mascot for all the major jewelers in Nancheng.
Xiao Yebai cocked an eyebrow: ¡°Any problems?¡±
¡°Mr. Xiao, I honestly don¡¯t know what other gifts the princess would like other than jewelry?¡± the assistant answered with a distressed face.
¡°I could find another assistant who knows.¡±
The assistant¡¯s legs buckled with fear, ¡°Mr. Xiao, I¡¯lle up with something right away.¡±
*

Meanwhile, because of therge number of items bought, Su Wanwan, Mo Weiyi, and the driver had to together load all the bags onto the car.
By the time they arrived back at Mo Weiyi¡¯s Lishui Bay Vi, it was already 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon.
¡°Auntie Jiang, help me take the bags to the dressing room. Please prepare some fruits and roast some little biscuits, then send them to the audio-visual room.¡±
¡°Okay, princess.¡±
Mo Weiyi pulled Su Wanwan up to the second floor. The vi was a wedding gift from Mo Yaoxiong to his daughter and son-inw. Su Wanwan had only visited once when she was drunk and it is only today that she had the time to properly look at it.
Indeed it was a sweet residence for the newlywed couple. The second floor was filled with their wedding photos of various styles and poses. In each photo, Mo Weiyi was always sweetly radiant while Xiao Yebai was as indifferent as ever. His expression, whether wearing sses or not, was almost emotionless, revealing no emotions.
However, it is undeniable that the couple together in those pictures were a pleasing sight, it was like looking at a golden boy and his jade girl pinch-hitting for them..

Su Wanwan had chosen a zombie flick that had been a recent hit, ¡°Train to Busan¡±, to watch. After the two-hour-long movie, Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice turned hoarse after screaming so much due to fear.
¡°That was too intense. No, no, I want to switch to a romantic movie.¡±
Su Wanwan checked the time, ¡°It¡¯s six o¡¯clock, I need to go home.¡±
¡°Then why don¡¯t we have dinner before you leave? Xiaobai is always busy working overtime and going to social events, it¡¯s so boring eating alone.¡±
Mo Weiyi suggested, tossed the remote control away and stood up, ¡°What do you want to eat? I can ask Aunt Jiang to cook it for you.¡±
The phone suddenly rang. Su Wanwan casually mentioned a fewmon choices for dinner, and as soon as Mo Weiyi left, she answered the call, ¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Junior Sis, I heard you got married?¡± The voice on the other end of the line sounded surprised and anxious, ¡°Oh my God, didn¡¯t you go back to catch your cheater fiance? How did this be about getting married? A good horse doesn¡¯t eat the grass it¡¯s already passed by, I¡¯m so disappointed in you! Is my naturally fresh and genuine little sister really you? The one behind the facade, quickly tear off your masks now¡¡±
¡°Stop!¡± Su Wanwan interrupted, ¡°It¡¯s not Xing Yuyun.¡±
¡°Then who is it?¡±
¡°You wouldn¡¯t know him.¡±
¡°Is he more handsome than me?¡±
After some consideration, Su Wanwan said, ¡°He is older than you.¡±
¡°What? He¡¯s older than me? I don¡¯t believe it! I¡¯ve measured my golden cudgel, it¡¯s 18 centimeters long!¡±
¡°Ye! Qi! Tian!¡±
Su Wanwan turned red, uttering each word almost through gritted teeth, ¡°What I meant was that he¡¯s older than you in age!¡±
¡°How much older?¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and took the opportunity when a call beeped in, to hastily reply, ¡°I have some urgent matter over here, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡±
¡°Junior Sis¡¡±
The iing call was made by Huo Jingshen.
As soon as the call connected.
¡°Why did you take so long to answer?¡±
Su Wanwan pouted, ¡°What can I do for you, Sir?¡±
Huo Jingshen hesitated noticeably, ¡°Sir?¡±
Su Wanwan coughed twice.
He was much older, and every utterance from his mouth disyed a sense of superiority, almost as if he was a wealthyndowner from ancient times lecturing his servant.
¡°I have a meeting soon,¡± Huo Jingshen immediately said, ¡°In half an hour, have Xiaosan pick you up at the Imperial Court. A casual gathering with a few friends, you don¡¯t have to dress up.¡±
Su Wanwan thought to herself, I didn¡¯t say I was going to dress up.
¡°Where to?¡±
¡°Guedi.¡±
¡°Can I take a taxi directly there from Weiyi¡¯s house?¡±
¡°That works.¡± After saying that, Huo Jingshen ended the call.
He was brief and decisive.
*

After having dinner with Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan took a taxi to Guedi.
Given her past experience with the scandal that broke out on the newspapers, she had average impressions of this ce. However, the fact that they could still operate sessfully even after such a scandal showed that the management had quite the firm hold.
After she reported her identity as Mrs. Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan was quickly escorted to the sixth floor. After crossing the dark corridor, she finally stopped in front of a private room named ¡°Fire Emperor¡±.
After the servant knocked twice, the door was opened.
¡°There she is! Our little sister-inw has arrived!¡±
The moment Nangong Ci shouted these words, everyone in the box turned their gazes towards the door.
Su Wanwan also looked back at them.
Well.
There were men, and there were women.
Some she knew, some she didn¡¯t.
However, without exception, each person was extremely attractive.
There¡¯s no need to mention her own husband. He happened to be wearing a striking white shirt and sat right in the middle of the couch. He looked maturely handsome, gracious in demeanor. Every move he made seemed to carry an aura of nobility around him, standing out like a crane amongst chickens.
As for the other men, each was handsome in their own unique way. Even the only girl present was very beautiful, dressed in a yellow dress that gave off the impression of being elegant and intelligent.
Indeed, ¡°Birds of a feather flock together¡±. People who look good tend to be friends with others who are equally good-looking.
Then, a teasing male voice suddenly said, ¡°Wow, Ah Shen, this one¡¯s quite fresh. Sister-inw, have you turned eighteen yet? Did you finish your homework?¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Nangong Ci broke intoughter.
Huo Jingshen nced at the man. His gaze was sharp, and his voice was icy, ¡°Is your brain not working or is it your eyes?¡±
¡°What were you talking about, Lao Gu?¡± Nangong Ci hurriedly tried to exin in a serious tone, ¡°Our sister-inw is 20 years old this year, which is just right for big brother!¡±
¡°Twenty?¡± The one called Lao Gu, a handsome guy, looked Su Wanwan up and down, making a tsking sound, ¡°Ten years older, darn it, Ah Shen, you really can eat such fare?¡±
Her hair was tied into a bun. Her face was as small as the palm of a hand, looking very soft. She also did not wear any make-up. She was wearing a casual overshirt and denim shorts and a pair of white shoes on her feet.
Although she was beautiful and had a clean vibe, she was too young. She looked like a minor, you would believe it if someone told you she was seventeen or eighteen!
¡°Older husband, younger wife.¡± Lao Gu concluded.
Everyone else:
¡°Shameless!¡±
¡°Disgusting!¡±
¡°Animal!¡±
Lu Chenyu, word by word: ¡°Worse than a beast!¡±
A shadow of a frown appeared on Huo Jingshen¡¯s face.
Did theye for a gathering or for sabotage?
¡°Alright, enough from each of you.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang, who appeared ratherzy, spoke, ¡°Big brother barely managed to find a girl like this. Don¡¯t scare her off, huh.¡±
Su Wanwan remembered this man from herst trip to the Imperial Court. His unique handsome face was quite small. Wearing a shirt with dark floral prints, holding a cigarette in one hand and red wine in the other, his narrow eyes slightly squinted. The smoke circled around him when he spoke, he gave off a kind of¡ unspeakable charm and allure.
He was the only one present who had brought his girlfriend, so he seemed like a good person.
But who would have thought¡.

Trantor: 549690339
¡°At least from now on, big brother won¡¯t have to work so hard anymore haha.¡± After Chu Xiuhuang added this, the crowd erupted intoughter and coughs, and his girlfriend¡¯s face turned bright red.
Su Wanwan felt unbearably embarrassed.
It seemed that all men were pigs, whether wealthy or not, always driving their own agendas.
It was simply cheap!
Low ss!
Shameless!
¡°Okay, everyone, let¡¯s keep it appropriate, there aredies present,¡± Nangong Ci tried to salvage the situation. ¡°Sister-inw, what kind of drink would you like? I¡¯ll order for you.¡±
Su Wanwan said, ¡°No need!¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows twitched.
Was she that well-behaved?
The next second,
¡°Just order the same as you guys¡ Red wine will do.¡±
Su Wanwan thought she was very considerate, not embarrassing her husband, who would have thought¡
¡°Get her a cup of hot milk,¡± Huo Jingshen said.
This time it was Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s turn to look displeased, ¡°Damn, it¡¯s so hot, and I¡¯m serving you here, if you want milk, take her home and give her some!¡± ¡°Pfft??? ¡±
Some people immediately understood andughed quietly.
A gentle-looking man looked puzzled, ¡°Isn¡¯t sister-inw an adult?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand ¨C big brother is treating his wife like a little girl.¡±
¡°Cough, Cough, Cough.¡±
Huo Jingshen spoke in a straightforward tone, ¡°She¡¯s on her period now, she can¡¯t drink alcohol.¡±
Another ¡°Pfft? ¡±
Nangong Ci spluttered out a mouthful of red wine.
The others also burst intoughter again, some nearly choked on their drinks, the whole room was in uproar¡ Unbelievable!
Su Wanwan gripped her fingers tightly, her face was so red it could burst into mes.
Great, now all the men knew she was on her period. Wasn¡¯t this horribly embarrassing?
¡°Any other warm drinks will do,¡± Huo Jingshenpromised.
The attendant, being quickwitted, immediately asked, ¡°Mrs. Huo, would hot milk tea do?¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to drink it and, without thinking, cast her look towards the brandy in someone¡¯s hand.
Huo Jingshen swirled his ss, ¡°Come here.¡±
Su Wanwan obediently walked over, sat down next to him, her eyes still fixed on the ss of brandy.
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows and leaned close to her, almost whispering, ¡°Baby, want a sip?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
Actually, a little wouldn¡¯t hurt.
¡°I¡¯ll feed you.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was doting, he took a sip from the ss and then¡
He seemed ready to feed her.
Holy smokes!
Su Wanwan quickly pushed him away.
Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t hold back his grin, his eyes and brows filled with amusement, even his lips curled upwards, where had his previous gloom gone? ¡°Cough, Cough, Cough!¡±
Su Wanwan quickly looked up.
The gentle-looking man stood in front of her, holding a gift bag and elegant as jade, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m Ming Jing, this is my wedding gift to you and big brother, you can call me Little Mingzi.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it Little Jingzi (Little Jingzi)?¡± Chu Xiuhuang casually chimed in.
¡°Second Brother!¡± Ming Jing was slightly taken aback, and he patiently exined, ¡°Jing, read as the fourth tone, means beautiful jade.¡±
¡°¡ Thank you.¡± Su Wanwan took the bag, casually opened it, and pulled out a thick box from inside.
The title read: [Full HD No M: Unlocking the 108 pieces of knowledge for newlywed couples.]
What!
Su Wanwan stared, dumbfounded¡ was this¡ that kind of erotic movie?
Arge hand quickly grabbed it, shoving it back inside the bag. Compared to Su Wanwan¡¯s ghostly shocked expression, Huo Jingshen looked quite calm, as if he had seen it all.
¡°I also prepared a gift.¡± Nangong Ci also came forward, also holding a bag.
Su Wanwan no longer dared to take it.
¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t worry, what I got you is not those things.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°Cough, Cough, Cough!¡±
¡°I got you 666 boxes of Okamoto, wishing you and big brother a harmonious life!¡±
Su Wanwan immediately coughed louder.
What kind of people were they!?
Couldn¡¯t they have gotten some normal gifts?
They¡¯re just like Mo Xiaose!
*
*
The innocent Mo Weiyi sneezed loudly.
Which b*tch was cursing her beauty behind her back?
*
*
¡°So you guys are really concerned about our sexual life.¡±
Huo Jingshen swirled his ss, a sarcastic smile ying on his lips.
¡°Second brother, what gift did you give? Let¡¯s see,¡± Nangong Ci goaded.
Chu Xiuhuang held a cigarette on the corner of a mouth, both hands up in surrender, ¡°I originally booked the presidential suite upstairs for big brother, but I guess it¡¯s not needed now looking at the situation.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, she jumped up, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom!¡±
¡°Mrs. Huo, I¡¯ll join you,¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s girlfriend also stood up.
As soon as the two left and the door closed, the room exploded with gossip.
*
*
Women¡¯s restroom.
¡°Mrs. Huo, do you know why the young master Chu broke up with his previous girlfriend?¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback, ¡°Young Master Chu?¡±
Weren¡¯t they boyfriend and girlfriend?
Why did it sound so formal?
¡°I¡¯m on my first date with Young Master Chu today.¡± The girl looked embarrassed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be like his previous girlfriends, breaking up after only a month for no apparent reason, so I would like to ask about his preferences.¡±
All his girlfriends onlysted a month before breaking up?
So young master Chu was a confirmed yboy?
Su Wanwanughed awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t know him very well.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
As the girl was touching up her lipstick, Su Wanwan opened the door of the restroom only to find another yboy waiting outside.
¡°Wanwan.¡±
Su Wanwan never expected to run into Xing Yuyun here.. It¡¯s true what they say about enemies meeting on a narrow road ¨C some people just won¡¯t leave you alone!
Chapter 96 - 96: 096, a good dog does not block the way
Chapter 96: a good dog does not block the way
Trantor: 549690339
Her face instantly went cold and she turned to leave, but Xing Yuyun blocked her way again, ¡°Wanwan, I have something to say.¡±
The strong smell of tobo and alcohol made Su Wanwan even more annoyed, and she snapped, ¡°Can¡¯t you just leave me alone? Why can¡¯t you stay out of my way like a good dog?¡±
Xing Yuyun looked to the girl with them.
She hesitated for a moment, then immediately understood. ¡°Mrs. Huo, I shall take my leave first.¡±
When she left, Su Wanwan looked up to see Xing Yuyun staring at her.
His eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy. There was no joy indicative of a newlywed, instead, he looked rather¡ decadent and worn.
I suppose his life must not be pleasant, having been attacked and caused such a scandal at his wedding.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to be harassed by him every time we meet. She crossed her arms, prepared to listen, ¡°Okay, say whatever you want to say and once you¡¯re done, get lost!¡±
Xing Yuyun looked at her.
The Su Wanwan in front of him seemed so different from the one two years ago.
He didn¡¯t know what she had been through in Los Angeles, but he wondered, if she had been this beautiful and clean two years earlier, would he have let her go study in L.A., perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have made so many mistakes.
Taking a deep breath, Xing Yuyun asked, ¡°Why did you marry my elder brother on a whim?¡±
Su Wanwan answered him immediately: ¡°Because he¡¯s rich! He¡¯s handsome and powerful! Marrying him irritates all of you. And I love to see you guys pissed, yet unable to do anything. Are you satisfied with this answer?¡±
Hearing his assumption confirmed, Xing Yuyun scoffed, ¡°For that, you¡¯re going to throw away your entire life?¡±
¡°It¡¯s what I want! I can marry whoever I want, it¡¯s none of your damn business!¡±
Xing Yuyun felt ufortable as he watched her. He had drunk too much earlier, the built-up pressure of the past few days and the various stresses umted in his chest, making his tone somewhat harsh, ¡°Cheating on you was my mistake, but you can¡¯t just keep making mistakes because of it! My elder brother is a whole decade older than you. Do you know why he married you? Do you understand him at all? Do you know anything about his past? You two are not right for each other!¡±
Compared to his passionate words, Su Wanwan¡¯s expression was indifferent. She nodded and said after he finished talking, ¡°So you¡¯re done? I¡¯m leaving.¡±
¡°Wait!¡±
Xing Yuyun almost shouted.
It was the first time Su Wanwan had seen him so agitated. She didn¡¯t want to draw attention and reluctantly stopped once again, despite her impatience.
However¡
Watching his hesitant and conflicted expression, Su Wanwan¡¯s brain suddenly shed a thought.
¡°Xing Yuyun.¡± She squinted her beautiful eyes, her tone mocking, ¡°Are you trying to say¡you regret it now?¡±
He felt a buzzing in his head as she hit the nail on the head, his emotions nearly spiraling out of control.
Yes.
He regretted it.
He had been with Su Yanyan simply out of male lust.
He was Su Yanyan¡¯s first man, she had a good figure and was very proactive and bold, even promising repeatedly to maintain this secret affair.
He was not really a virtuous man. He had been involved with many women over the years, and Su Yanyan was just one of them.
The marriage with the Su family had been arranged by the elders. As the younger generation, he had to obey, so whether it was Su Wanwan or Su Yanyan, he felt indifferent.
Thisforting thought changedpletely the night Su Wanwan returned.
That night, he was called to the Su family¡¯s house and after having a drink, he slept with her¡ just as Su Wanwan returned from overseas¡
Later, he went to the hospital for a urine test and found that there were aphrodisiacs in the drink.
Being deceived by a woman made him feel like a fool, like he had walked right into a trap.
Later, Su Yanyan made a scene in front of their parents several times, even causing a huge scandal at the wedding¡
All these events added up, leading to his growing dislike of her.
The sense of loss in his heart also grew stronger.
¡°Su Wanwan.¡± Xing Yuyun wasn¡¯t sure if he was drunk, but his voice was bitter, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her face, ¡°Divorce my elder brother.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± Xing Yuyun spoke again, ¡°Divorce him, now!¡±
¡°Are you being a fucking masochist again? Like a nagging woman, meddling in others¡¯ affairs? Get lost!¡± After saying this, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to stay any longer. Seeing him blocking her way, she simply turned back.
¡°Su Wanwan!¡± Xing Yuyun grabbed her wrist.
Su Wanwan tried to shake him off with a jerk, but the strength of a drunken man was somewhat scary and she couldn¡¯t break free.
So Xing Yuyun stood there, close to her, the more he looked at her, the more he felt he had been foolish.
How could he have so easily let her go?
She was clearly prettier than Su Yanyan.
Additionally, she was nothing like Su Yanyan¡¯s sweet and delicate demeanour. Su Wanwan¡¯s features were more refined and although she was still young, she was stunningly beautiful.
Especially now that she had dropped her teenage delinquent style of two years ago, the current Su Wanwan had porcin-white skin, her pair of phoenix eyes were bright and clear, and at this moment filled with anger and spite like two pools of water, highlighting the small peach blossom mole under her right eyelid, which added several points of charm to her..
Chapter 97 - 97: 097, that old man is terrible!
Chapter 97: that old man is terrible!
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan felt uneasy under his gaze.
She had seen such eyes before in Huo Jingshen.
But at the moment, instead of the nervousness she felt when facing Huo Jingshen, she felt more disgusted.
¡°If you don¡¯t let go, I¡¯m going to hit you!¡±
Xing Yuyun firmly held her wrist, unmoving.
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and violently raised her right leg.
Xing Yuyun didn¡¯t expect her to actuallysh out. Caught off guard, he was hit by a sharp pain.
After a muffled groan, his handsome face quickly turned pale and was covered in cold sweat.
Despite this, he still held her tightly.
¡°If you don¡¯t let go, don¡¯t me me if you end up childless!¡± Su Wanwan started to threaten.
After all, when she was in Los Angeles, she learned self-defense techniques, Capture Technique, Taekwondo, and more¡
¡°Wanwan, I¡¯m really doing this for your own good. My elder brother is very cunning and his past isplicated. Hecks any sense of kindness. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll get hurt in the future. If you divorce him, I promise, no one in Su Family will bully you ever again¡¡±
Having been kicked in the crotch, Xing Yuyun was so in pain that he sobered up instantly. But he gritted his teeth and kept persuading.
Becuase if he doesn¡¯t say it now, he fears he won¡¯t get another chance.
But Su Wanwan thought he was crazy.
Just as she raised her knee, ready to give him another kick¡
¡°So, even I, Huo Jingshen, can have my wife stolen by my own younger brother.¡±
The sudden cold voice startled them both.
Su Wanwan turned to see a tall and upright figure standing at the end of the corridor.
He held a cigarette in one hand, the other tucked in the pocket of his suit trousers. His handsome profile was as cold as ice, and his gaze was chilling. Under the dim corridor light, his whole body seemed cloaked in ayer of gloomy darkness.
As she met his deep, calm gaze, Su Wanwan somehow felt a wave of fear.
It felt like a wife caught cheating by her husband¡
She immediately tried to break free from Xing Yuyun, who was scared into total sobriety and immediately let go. He didn¡¯t even care about the pain, and started to stammer his exnation, ¡°Big brother, I, I just¡¡±
¡°So, you wanted to stay on the safe side, right?¡± Another sarcastic male voice sounded.
It¡¯s Chu Xiuhuang.
He turned sideways and walked into the corridor. His hands were both tucked in his pockets, revealing the muscles under his partially unbuttoned dark shirt. A cigarette rested casually on his thin lips. His squinted gaze looked yful yet provocative, making him look downright roguish.
He raised an eyebrow at Su Wanwan, deliberately provoking, ¡°Big brother, your wife here seems quite charming.¡±
His girlfriend had returned to the box earlier and mentioned that sister-inw was being cornered in the restroom. As such, he and Huo Jingshen came together to check on her, only to find that the main character turned out to be that guy from Xing Family, Su Wanwan¡¯s former fiance.
At first, he thought it was just a scare for this young master who grew up in the greenhouse. However, Huo Jingshen was just standing there, silently observing everything. It was nice to believe he trusts his wife, but on the other hand¡
He was damn eavesdropping!
While they were arguing, Chu Xiuhuang listened and observed Huo Jingshen, with only one thought repeatedly crossing his mind:
This big brother is really sly!
As expected, at first Xing Yuyun was just ndering. Later, he actually asked Su Wanwan to divorce!
Tsk tsk tsk, having known him for nearly thirty years, Chu Xiuhuang was most familiar with Huo Jingshen¡¯s character.
He seemed calm and gentlemanly, but in reality, he was extremely petty, always holding grudges, and would certainly seek revenge!
The girl he finally managed to deceive and bring home was being coveted by his own cousin. Who could put up with a full grasnd on their head?
Chu Xiuhuang stretched his long legs and leaned his slender body entirely against the wall, ready to continue watching the drama.
However¡
¡°It seems that your establishment needs to tighten its security again.¡± Huo Jingshen squinted at Chu Xiuhuang from the corner of his eye, ¡°Anyone can barge in as long as they can afford the minimum spending here, and then they can act like they own the ce?¡±
¡°Damn, how dare you insult people?¡± Chu Xiuhuang stood up straight, his handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Although he is the boss here, he only takes care of investments and profits. The specific operations are handled by specialists.
¡°Big brother, I¡¯m here today representing Huo Yuan to discuss a business deal.¡± Xing Yuyun tried to force himself to exin.
In other words, he was here for a legitimate reason.
Chu Xiuhuang nced at him.
Hey, his pale face had been scared whiter, fluctuating between pale and green, and his voice was shaking.
Well, even if you¡¯re just an average cat or dog, it isn¡¯t sofortable being teased in front of the woman you like¡
Huo Jingshen took one step at a time towards him.
He was taller than Xing Yuyun. His ironed and tidy shirt made his face look exceptionally cold. When he got close, he raised his chin slightly, resulting in a looming posture¡
At a nce, he looked much like an elder lecturing a younger one.
¡°What project?¡± His voice was low and deep.
Perhaps because the lights by the restroom were brighter, he seemed less gloomy and didn¡¯t seem as intimidating.
Xing Yuyun breathed a little easier and quickly replied, ¡°From the advertising department that I manage, we are preparing for the third-quarter advertising bidding project.¡±
Fingertips that outlined his bone structure put the cigarette between his thin lips, and Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes. The thick smoke he exhaled sprayed almost entirely on Xing Yuyun¡¯s face, ¡°You can¡¯t even handle your own manhood, and now I question whether you can run the advertising department..¡±
Chapter 98 - 98: 098, is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means?
Chapter 98: is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means?
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°Pfft!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter, quickly coughing lightly to suppress hisughter.
Otherwise, he¡¯d miss out on the good showing up.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes twitched, though¡
Despite the crude phrasing, the logic seemed sound.
When it came to Xing Yuyun, a jerk who can¡¯t control himself, she believed her husband waspletely right!
Xing Yuyun¡¯s pupils contracted swiftly, as if he had been pped in public, his face turning bright red.
After the extreme humiliation came unease and trepidation.
Ever since Huo Jingshen returned home to take over Huo Yuan¡¯s responsibilities, he acted ruthlessly, with indifference and vigorous reforms, almost to the point of disregarding all rtionships.
Not only were the shares of the Huo family¡¯s uncles and aunts squeezed, but even Siqing¡¯s small n to get into the design department was rejected.
The position of general manager was offered to him by Huo Yuanshan in the past, but now the old man had handed full power to Huo Jingshen, and he didn¡¯t care about anything anymore.
If Huo Jingshen held a grudge against him¡
However, Xing Yuyun affirmed himself for his serious attitude towards work, having fulfilled his responsibilities whole-heartedly and with sincerity.
Keeping this in mind, he lifted his head, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, ¡°Brother, I was wrong tonight. I drank too much and got a bit carried away, I apologize to you and hope you can be fair, addressing each issue on its
merits.¡±
The moment these words were spoken, Chu Xiuhuang gave a click of his
tongue.
Should they praise this young man for his spirit?
Or scold him for being an idiot?
Wasn¡¯t he indirectly criticizing Huo Jingshen for being biased and vengeful?
Oh, dear, Huo Jingshen hadn¡¯t even hinted about firing him, yet here Xing Yuyun was, rushing to stick his neck out, digging a hole for himself, having no idea what he was getting into.
As expected.
¡°As the general manager of the marketing department of Huo Yuan Real Estate, getting drunk in a club the day after his honeymoon, and taking advantage of his drunken stupor to leave the associates behind in the VIP room and harass female customers outside the women¡¯s restroom.¡±
Huo Jingshen spoke slowly, calmly, and each word made Xing Yuyun¡¯s heart throb.
It almost felt like the temperature of the corridor¡¯s air conditioning was too low. Chills swept over his back, making his spine shuddering non-stop.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice continued, ¡°If this matter were to be taken to the police station and then reported in the newspapers, I wonder what our parents would think?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang had already taken out his phone, squinting his eyes as he mischievously asked, ¡°Should I call the authorities?
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t reply.
Leaning slightly, he looked at the giggly girl beside him, his ck eyes narrowing instantly, ¡°Come here.¡±
Su Wanwan was startled by his sudden call.
Seeing his unwavering gaze on her, she blinked and obediently walked over.
Just as she reached him, her hand was caught.
Su Wanwan felt a squeeze on her hand, she lost her bnce instantaneously, and stumbled forward.
¡°Falling into my arms?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his arm to wrap around her, effortlessly holding her, ¡°Admitting your mistake? Trying to be sweet?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s facial muscles twitched.
¡°Damn!¡± Chu Xiuhuang flicked away the cigarette butt, grinding it into the ground, sounding impatient, ¡°Quit the lovey-dovey act in front of me, will you?¡±
The sight of couples showing affection was irritating, it made his teeth ache! Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t look at him, he pulled Su Wanwan and began to walk away.
¡°What about your cousin?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked.
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t lookback, ¡°Have someone throw him out.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t beat around the bush, quickly dialing a number, ¡°Women¡¯s restroom on the sixth floor, we need more guys.
A few seconds after he finished speaking, several tall and strong men in ck walked over, clearly not ordinary club staff.
Xing Yuyun felt anxious, yet held his ground and questioned, ¡°Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this?¡±
¡°Oh, now you dare to yell in front of me? Just now, weren¡¯t you acting like a coward?¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows teasingly, his long and narrow phoenix eyes yful and wicked.
¡°I can leave by myself. No need for Mr. Chu to trouble yourself!¡± Xing Yuyun¡¯s expression was very suffocating. However, there was a hint of fear in his heart for the notorious yboy in Nancheng.
Soon after, he added, ¡°Brother misunderstood just now, but this has nothing to do with Mr. Chu, right?¡±
¡°You¡¯re harassing my customers, as the boss of this ce, and you say it¡¯s none of my business?¡± Chu Xiuhuang scolded lightly, toozy to waste any more words, and gave a direct order, ¡°Take him to the police station, get some reporters while you¡¯re at it, and say¡
He paused, thin lips curling into a smile, ¡°The cavalry of the Xing family harassed a minor girl while drunk, so he got thrashed.¡±
As he spoke, several men in ck suits have already stepped forward to seize Xing Yuyun.
¡°Mister Chu, you may be the boss here, but I am also a customer here. I paid to be here and if you dare¡uh!¡±
Xing Yuyun didn¡¯t finish speaking before a punchnded solidly in his stomach.
This punch was not held back in the slightest, hitting him so hard that he doubled over, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Pulling back his fist, Chu Xiuhuang shook his hand as if swatting away a fly, his tone arrogant and mocking, ¡°What I hate the most is being threatened. And you dare to call yourself a customer, do you think you¡¯re worthy?¡±
With these words, another bodyguard¡¯s fistnded on Xing Yuyun¡¯s face at Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s signal.
Since the guard was a trained martial artist and had Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s backing, Xing Yuyun only heard a loud ¡°thump,¡± as he felt his jawbone seemed to be shattered, and his mouth was quickly filled with a strong rusty taste, seeing stars before his eyes.
In a daze, he heard Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s arrogant voice ringing once again, ¡°You can sue me if you like. I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll suffer!¡±
Then, the corridor was filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh and muffled groans of pain.
Whenever a customer tried to use the restroom, they were quickly stopped by a waitress.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, the restroom on the sixth floor is out of service, please use the other floors.¡±
**
Meanwhile, Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan directly to the elevator, went straight down to the first floor, and then led her out of the club¡¯s doors.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t resist a nce at him. He looked grim and stern, as if someone owed him millions and didn¡¯t pay him back.
She coughed twice and asked in a weak voice, ¡°Are we going home?¡±
Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped, tightly pressing his lips together. His deep dark eyes fixed on her, not saying a word.
Feeling inexplicably guilty under his gaze, Su Wanwan thought: why the hell am I feeling guilty? I haven¡¯t cheated on him.
Before she could speak, the car door opened with a crisp sound.
Huo Jingshen let go of her hand.
Su Wanwan stood there a second longer before she followed him into the car.
Once they were in the car, Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice resonated, ¡°Did you forget my advice fromst time?¡±
Su Wanwan paused, ¡°What advice?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t wear shorts that short.¡±
Speaking these words, his gaze fell on her legs.
Denim shorts. Ultra-short ones.
This girl was naturally fair-skinned. Coupled with her good skin, smooth and delicate without a hint of pores, her legs were straight and slender, absolutely top-notch.
With utmost seriousness, Su Wanwan contested, ¡°They¡¯re shorts, they¡¯re meant to be short! This is the trend!¡±
Indeed, a thirty-year-old man has no idea about fashion trends. Typical.
Fuddy-duddy.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes were indifferent, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to wear them again, especially when you¡¯re outside.¡±
¡°Damn it!¡± Su Wanwan was furious, swearing, ¡°You¡¯re meddling way too much! Even what I wear is your business? My dad never controlled me this much!¡±
¡°You can consider me as your dad.¡±
Unable to control the twitch at the corner of her mouth, Su Wanwan shook with anger, ¡°Shameless!¡±
¡°in any case, no wearing them outside.¡± Huo Jingshenid down his final edict.
¡°You can¡¯t tell me what to do!¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes narrowed, his tone soothing but nheless bearing warnings, ¡°Don¡¯t force me to repeat myself. Also¡¡±
He spoke out each word, ¡°About what just happened, how do you n to exin it?¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback, ¡°Exin what?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you aware that you¡¯re a married woman?¡± Huo Jingshen said with an air of righteousness, ¡°In front of so many people, sneaking around with another man behind your husband¡¯s back, do you think that¡¯s fair to your husband?¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t sneaking around, how was I to know I¡¯d run into him here!¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened, all flustered, ¡°And for your information, you were the one who brought me here, I haven¡¯t med you yet.. Who told you toe out so early? I hadn¡¯t even finished beating that scumbag!¡±

¡°What ndestine meeting? How would I know I was going to run into him here!¡± Su Wanwan widened her eyes, indignation radiating from her. ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you bring me to the club? I haven¡¯t even med you yet. Who told you toe out so early? I haven¡¯t even had enough of kicking that scumbag! Damn!¡±
A scumbag?
Hmm, that name sounds pretty good.
Huo Jingshen lifted his thin lips slightly, his expression a bit gentler, ¡°Anyway, stay away from that scumbag from now on.¡±
Su Wanwan snorted a couple of times, then wrinkled her little nose, ¡°Nancheng is so small, we¡¯re bound to run into each other at some point. Is that my fault too?¡±
Huo Jingshen watched her act unbothered, his eyes as unfathomable as ever.
Su Wanwan happened to look up and meet his gaze. Her heart sank, and she instinctively tried to shrink back.
Huo Jingshen raised his hand to the back of the chair on her right, trapping her between him and the car seats. Their faces were close, and their breaths intertwined.
Because they were so close, she could smell the strong mature male scent on him.
It was warm, fresh, yet hiding a hint of dominance. Also, mixed with a touch of alcohol and smoke, it instantly enveloped Su Wanwanpletely.
¡°Um¡¡± Su Wanwan became a little nervous, her tongue getting tied,
¡°You¡you¡¯ve been drinking, do you want to¡find a designated driver?¡±
¡°No rush.¡± Huo Jingshen looked at her calmly, his eyes deep.
This kind of gaze was all too familiar.
Su Wanwan could hear her heart thumping in her chest. Subconsciously, she closed her eyes.
However, the anticipated event didn¡¯t happen.
She opened her eyes only to find Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows slightly raised, his expression calm, and his tone even more serious, ¡°I was just fastening your seatbelt, why did you close your eyes?¡±
As soon as he finished his words, Su Wanwan felt a tightness around her.
Uh, as expected, the seatbelt had been fastened.
Su Wanwan¡¯s cheeks instantly turned bright red.
Damn it.
That stinky man came so close, causing her to think that he was about to do something else¡
Clears throat.
She reached out to push him away, but both her hands were caught and pinned on the sides of the chairback.
¡°What are you trying to do now!¡±
Su Wanwan was somewhat flustered and irate.
Isn¡¯t the seat belt already fastened?
Teasing her again and again, is it fun?
Huo Jingshen slowly curved his thin lips, ¡°Did my darling get a little disappointed because I didn¡¯t do anything to her just now?¡±
¡°Disappointed, my ass!¡±
Shameless stinky man!
Taking advantage of a situation and making it seem like he¡¯s the victim.
Su Wanwan began to struggle, and Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Since my darling is so eager, hubby should¡ show a little affection.¡±
Upon hearing from Chu Xiuhuang that his elder brother had left with his sister-inw, Nangong Ci considerately picked up Su Wenwen¡¯s purse she¡¯d left at the club and nned to drop it off at Imperial Court.
Just as he walked out the club¡¯s door, he saw their still-parked car. He walked cheerfully toward it, only to find¡
Huo Jingshen in the driver¡¯s seat suddenly lunging toward his sister-inw.
Holy shit!
It was like a ravenous wolf pouncing on amb; his patently ferociousness was simply brutal!
Feeling it inappropriate to interrupt, he decided to wait in ce. But then¡
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes¡
Finally, the two separated. Nangong Ci was about to step forward when he saw Huo Jingshen once again lunge at his sister-inw.
Nangong Ci was filled with confusion.
For the love of God!
Are they so impatient they can¡¯t wait even though they¡¯re on a main street?
Should he remind his elder brother that their car¡¯s front windshield doesn¡¯t have any protective film on it?
Which means, from the outside, if one looks carefully, they could see everything happening inside the car.
Watching the seemingly never-ending activity inside the car, Nangong Ci waited and waited until he eventually got fed up.
Should he take some photos?
Or perhaps¡shoot a short video and post it on TikTok?

Inside the car.
Su Wanwan finally managed to pull away, her voice shaking in anger, ¡°Are you crazy!¡±
It hurts like hell!
Huo Jingshen squinted at the youngdy.
Until the ringing of a mobile phone broke the silence inside the sealed car.
Su Wanwan came to her senses abruptly, ¡°Answer the call¡¡±
However, Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t pick up.
The phone kept ringing incessantly, as if it was locked in a showdown.
Finally, Su Wanwan took out the phone and answered.
¡°Baby Wanwan, what should I do, what should I do? Please, you have to help me!¡±
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan became anxious. She hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡±
¡°The pile of gifts I bought today, Xiaobai seems to not like any of them! He didn¡¯t even smile. I spent so long picking those gifts. I feel so upset!¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
She made me think the sky was falling, and this is all it was?
She clutched her chest, finally catching her breath.
¡°Why are you panting?¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly asked.
Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned beet red, ¡°Um¡I¡I¡¯m running.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi, for once, didn¡¯t think dirty thoughts. He quickly piped up again, ¡°Guess what gift will Xiaobai give me tomorrow?¡±
¡°How would I know?¡±
¡°I told him I don¡¯t want any jewelry. Do you think¡Xiaobai will give himself to me as the gift? And then, tie a pink ribbon around him and let me¡hehehe¡.¡±

Su Wanwan did not understand at first.
But hearing her best friend¡¯s lewdughter, a thought struck her like a bolt of lightning.
Holy shit!
¡°Mo! Little! Pervert!¡± Su Wenwen¡¯s face turned red as she lowered her voice and yelled, ¡°Can you stopughing so lewdly?¡±
Besides, Xiao Yebai is such a cold man, would he do suchscivious things?
Or is it that all men are ¡°not what they seem¡±?
Just like Huo Jingshen, who looks gentle and elegant, who knew that he would be so¡
¡°Anyway, I¡¯ve already reserved the presidential suite for tomorrow night. The clothes are all ready. It¡¯s bunny-themed lingerie, pink, Xiaobai¡¯s favorite. Hehehe¡¡± Mo Weiyi chuckled lewdly again as she spoke.
Su Wanwan felt her face burning, hurriedly interrupting her, ¡°Okay, okay, I
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
have to go now.¡±
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone before Mo Weiyi could respond.
*
*
Mo Family Mansion.
Mo Weiyi huffed irritably when the call was ended on her.
She had many friends, but not many she could confide in. Su Wanwan was the only one among them she could truly consider as a close friend.
It took forever for Su Wanwan to return to the country and get married, so, as best friends, they could finally share their marital bliss with each other. But every time the conversation shifted in more intimate directions, that girl would act all shy and embarrassed.
Well, let it be.
She nced at the time. Nine o¡¯clock in the evening.
Why hasn¡¯t Xiaobaie up yet?
Mo Weiyi set down her phone and rose to her feet, pushing the door open to head downstairs.
The housekeeper had left for the day, and only a dim wallmp illuminated therge living room. The study door was ajar, light leaking from within, along with a faint murmur of voices.
Mo Weiyi immediately went over, pushing the door wide open.
¡°Xiaobai.¡±
Behind the cool, ck desk, Xiao Yebai was taking a call, sses perched on his nose.
When he heard her voice, he looked up, his voice deep as he said into the
phone, ¡°I have to go.¡±
¡°Who were you talking to?¡± Mo Weiyi asked casually.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s expression was indifferent, ¡°Work-rted matter.
Setting down his phone, he raised his hand, turning off theputer screen. Mo Weiyi did not pay it any mind. She went over and squeezed between him and the desk, settling herself in his arms.
She cooed sweetly, ¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯ve reserved the presidential suite at Huashang for tomorrow night. Remember to finish work early. No overtime, okay?¡± ¡°Work has been rather busytely.¡± Xiao Yebai leaned back against the chair, his gaze on her calm and still.
¡°I don¡¯t care. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. If you workte again, I¡¯m really going to be angry!¡± Mo Weiyi began fussing, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Xiaobai reached out to hold her. His eyes lowered and darkened, and something raspy crept into his voice, ¡°Have you showered yet?¡± ¡ö¡öYes.¡± Mo Weiyi beamed as she dangled her arms around his neck, soft and seductive, ¡°Xiaobai, carry me upstairs.¡±
His pale, bony hand went along her curves, hoisting her into his arms.
¡°Wait a moment.¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly reached out.
Caught off guard, Xiao Yebai had his sses plucked from him.
After setting down the rimless sses on the table, Mo Weiyi burrowed back into his arms, grinning, ¡°I still like how Xiaobai looks without sses.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s features are markedly pronounced and with his usual cold demeanor, people find him aloof and hard to approach especially when he is immersed in his work.
He therefore usually wears sses to appear more gentlemanly and friendly. After getting married however, Mo Weiyi thought that Xiaobai was just a ssic case of a seemingly cultured man hiding his true colors. Wearing sses was pure pretense!
Besides, he has such beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, so enchanting and well-defined with thick, longshes and paired with his handsome, arched eyebrows, he has the looks of a delicate, flower-like male character from ancient times.
It was a waste to hide those beautiful eyes behind those sses.
Xiao Yebai curled his thin lips, taking a step out of the study and preparing to go upstairs.
Just then, the jarring sound of a mobile phone rang out.
Mo Weiyi pouted a little in disappointment, ¡°Who¡¯s that, bugging you at this hour?¡±
¡°Might be work-rted¡± Xiao Yebai carried her back into the study. Setting her on the couch first, he then picked up the phone from his desk.
¡°Zhiwei.¡±
The instant she heard that name, Mo Weiyi¡¯s mood tanked even further.
¡°Alright, got it.¡±
After he hung up, Mo Weiyi promptly fired off a string of questions, ¡°What s wrong with your sister this time? She¡¯s run out of money? Wants to buy something? Or has another man dumped her?¡±
Xiao Yebai stayed silent, his face going back to its usual semnce of calm.
He stood behind his desk, thin lips pressed in a line as he quietly bore her heated gaze upon his cold face.
His dark eyes looked even colder without the sses covering them.
Any normal person would be uneasy under his icy gaze, but Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t find it intimidating in the least. She huffed in annoyance, her disdain for Xiao Zhiwei evident in her voice, ¡°Well, what¡¯s her problem this time?
Xiao Yebai finally spoke, ¡°Zhiwei ising back to the country tomorrow.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s cat-like eyes widened in surprise, ¡°What?
*
*
With the news of Xiao Zhiwei returning to the country, Mo Weiyi¡¯s good mood abruptly evaporated.
After going upstairs and while Xiao Yebai was in the shower, she immediately phoned Mo Yaoxiong in irritation, ¡°Dad, do you know that Xiao Zhiwei ising back to the country?¡±
Chapter 101 - 101:101, wedding anniversary gift
Chapter 101:101, wedding anniversary gift
Trantor: 549690339 |? ¡ã
¡°She mentioned it to mest week, but I didn¡¯t agree.¡±
¡°But Xiaobai just got a call from her saying she¡¯s returning to the country tomorrow, what¡¯s the heck is going on!¡± Mo Weiyi said angrily.
Xiao Zhiwei was two years older than her and was sent to Canada by Mo Yaoxiong to study four years ago. They agreed she wouldplete both her bachelor¡¯s and master¡¯s degrees in five years. Isn¡¯t it not yet time?
The most important thing is, she absolutely despised this woman. She was not a hidden white lotus, nor was she an affectedly virtuous green tea bitch.
In Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes, she was just an out-and-out little bitch, who always loved to go against her!
Because she was Xiaobai¡¯s cousin and one of his few rtives, every time they argued, Mo Weiyi ended up having to back down!
Just thinking about having to constantly fight with that little bitch in the future made Mo Weiyi feel incredibly frustrated!
¡°She¡¯s been duped by a married man. Things got blown up, and she can¡¯t stay there anymore.¡±
¡°Then send her to another country!¡± Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes.
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?
She had had enough. How could Xiaobai have such a cousin with such an unchecked private life!
¡°Weiyi, don¡¯t be capricious.¡±
¡°But I hate her!¡± Mo Weiyi whined, ¡°Dad, just send her to another country again. Any country she chooses, as long as she doesn¡¯te back here. Pleassee, dad.¡±
¡°She¡¯s already on the ne. Let¡¯s talk about it when shees back tomorrow.¡± Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
*

The next morning, Mo Weiyi was sleeping in a daze when the man beside her got up.
Soon after, he freshened himself up and emerged from the bathroom.
Despite his light movements, Mo Weiyi still woke up. Shey in bed with her eyes half-closed, sleepily watching the man who was tying his tie.
Last night, she couldn¡¯t sleep tossing and turning because of that woman, Xiao Zhiwei. She didn¡¯t know when she finally fell asleep but¡
She hadn¡¯t forgotten the most important thing!
¡°Xiaobai, remember to go to Huashang earlier tonight. I¡¯ve reserved a suite.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The man responded in a deep voice.
Mo Weiyi was satisfied, ¡°When are you nning to give me my gift?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s hand paused for a moment, then calmly replied, ¡°I¡¯ll have Zhong Kai send it over in the afternoon.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
On seeing Xiao Yebai, done with the tie, ready to leave, she pouted, ¡°Xiaobai, hug me before you leave.¡±
Xiao Yebai walked over.
He wore tightly ironed shirt and pants. The white shirt made him look even more handsome and tidy, so breath-taking.
Reaching the bedside, he bent his straight body over towards her. The subtle scent of mint aftershave wafted over.
Only after Mo Weiyi was satisfied and loosened her arms, did the man rise. ¡°Remember to head to Huashang early tonight.¡± Mo Weiyiy there, her dark curls scattered on the pillow. Her face was flushed, herughter causing her eyes to squint into joyful arches.
Xiao Yebai responded and left.

After finishing lunch, Mo Weiyi went upstairs to try on clothes in the living room.
Jiang Auntie came up to tidy up the room soon after.
¡°Auntie Jiang.¡± Mo Weiyi called out to her, ¡°This skirt has been washed once, but I never wore it.¡±
¡°Thank you, princess.¡± Auntie Jiang took the blue dress happily.
¡°And this coat, I bought it with Wanwan when we went shoppingst time. I didn¡¯t realize it was too big, and returning it would be too much trouble.¡± Auntie Jiang beamed, quickly gathering the clothes, ¡°Princess, I¡¯ll go clean the storage room now.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Mo Weiyi continued to dig through the wall of wardrobes, ¡°When
Zhong Kaies to deliver my giftter,e and call me.¡±
¡°Yes, princess.¡±
After trying on clothes for roughly an hour, Mo Weiyi finally chose a light-yellow party dress, along with matching jewelry and shoes.
After getting dressed anding downstairs, not long after, Auntie Jiang led Zhong Kai in.
Mo Weiyi looked at what he was holding and furrowed her brows, ¡°What are you carrying?¡±
¡°Princess.¡± Zhong Kai looked at the young girl in front of him, all dolled up.
Even without makeup, her face was stunningly delicate.
But that didn¡¯t mean she wouldn¡¯t get angry. On the contrary, the little princess was truly terrifying when she lost her temper!
He responded cautiously, ¡°This is¡ the wedding anniversary gift Xiaobai instructed me to prepare.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Mo Weiyi asked as she walked over.
Zhong Kai¡¯s legs involuntarily began to tremble.
Oh my¡ he¡¯d delivered gifts for Xiaobai so many times and never once had he been this nervous.
-Why are you shaking?¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her head, ordering considerately,
¡°Auntie Jiang, turn up the central heating a bit.¡±
¡°Sure, princess.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at Zhong Kai with innocent, puzzled eyes, ¡°What are you waiting for? Open my gift.¡±
¡°Yes, of course. I¡¯ll open it for you now.¡± Zhong Kai put the box on the table, trembling as he unwrapped it and lifted the lid.
Upon seeing what was inside, Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded.
What?
Little turtles?
Two of them?
Is this the gift Xiaobai is giving me?¡±
She could hardly believe it.
She had thought that instead of jewelry, considering Xiaobai¡¯s cluelessness about romance, he might give her some digital device.
Or calligraphy and painting supplies?
Why on earth would it be two little turtles?
Zhong Kai jumped, then hurriedly replied, ¡°Report to the princess¡ this¡ is indeed the gift Xiaobai instructed me to prepare.¡±
Unrevealing reply.
Clever indeed!
Zhong Kai apuded himself silently.
Mo Weiyi frowned, looking at the two green little turtles in the box, her face puzzled..
Chapter 102 - 102:102, very cute in green

Trantor: 549690339
Zhong Kai mustered up the courage to ask, ¡°Princess, do you not like this gift?¡±
He had thought long and hard, even researching online and asking many friends.
Finally, everyone suggested he give a pet as a gift, saying that, besides jewelry, girls should like pets the most.
But Zhong Kai felt that a pet, like a kitten, puppy, or bunny, too adorable for a spoiled and domineering little princess like Mo Weiyi. Lizards, chameleons, and spiders seemed too far-fetched.
After considering all options, the confused man was eventually convinced by the owner of a turtle shop in the pet market to give it as a gift.
Although he found the idea of gifting a turtle somewhat shocking¡
Mo Weiyi, rubbing her chin with a slender thumb, thought for about a minute and then blinked, suddenly smiling, ¡°I get it!¡±
She picked up the small, exquisite box andughed, her cat eyes curving like crescents, ¡°You can go back, tell Xiaobai I really like this gift.¡±
Zhong Kai was overjoyed, ¡°Thank you, princess!¡±

¡°Wanwan, guess why Xiaobai would give me two little turtles?¡± Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan while getting a makeover at the club.
¡°Are they green turtles?¡±
¡°Yes, they¡¯re green and surprisingly cute.¡±
Su Wanwan coughed a few times, ¡°To survive, you should always carry a little green with you?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t understand, Xiaobai probably thought that the turtles are easy to raise, so they¡¯re suitable pets for me. Besides, turtles live for a very long time, symbolizing that my love with Xiaobai willst forever. Just right, there are two little ones, male and female, representing Xiaobai and me.¡±
¡°Regardless of what Xiaobai gives, even cow dung can be praised by you as a fresh flower!¡±
Mo Weiyiughed happily, ¡°So, tonight, I will spend a romantic evening with Xiaobai at the hotel. Youe over to my ce tomorrow, helping me name the turtles.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t make it these days. I need to make up for the third subject course.¡±
¡°¡Alright then.¡±
**
At that time, Su Wanwan had just finished ss, and as soon as she hung up the phone, Coach Pan Hui asked, ¡°Miss Su, are you going home? I can give you a lift.¡±
¡°No need, I¡¯ll take the shuttle bus.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you live near Imperial Court Vi? It¡¯s on my way. Plus, it¡¯s going to rain soon, and I see you didn¡¯t bring an umbre.¡±
Su Wanwan looked up at the sky.
Wasn¡¯t it sunny? Where did the raine from?
Could his excuse be any moreme?
¡°I¡¯m going to the city center to have dinner with a friend.¡± Pan Hui adjusted his sses as if to exin, ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it, I¡¯m just giving you a ride on my way.¡±
The more he said that, the harder it was for Su Wanwan not to misinterpret his intentions.
After all, Pan Hui was indeed a little too enthusiastic on WeChat, often urging her to attend sses and questioning her reasons for taking leave¡
¡°You¡¯re going to the city center?¡± A chubby instructor nearby suddenly spoke up, ¡°I can¡¯t drive my car today because of vehicle restrictions. Can I hitch a ride?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Pan Hui turned to Su Wanwan, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes.
If she refused now, it would seem a bit pretentious. After all, they weren¡¯t the only ones in the car. The shuttle bus would take another half an hour, and taking a taxi would cost a lot¡
After weighing the options, Su Wanwan got into Pan Hui¡¯s red Lingdu car.
Once inside, she was on her phone at the back seat, while the two at the front were discussing news about Nancheng.
¡°Miss Su.¡± The chubby instructor suddenly turned back, ¡°Have you seen the news about the wealthy third-generation?¡±
¡°What news?¡±
¡°It¡¯s about the grandson of the richest man, Huo Yuanshan. He molested a minor at a clubst night, got beaten up, and ended up with three broken ribs. The whole incident was exposed on Weibo.¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Wasn¡¯t Huo Yuanshan¡¯s grandson Xing Yuyun?
She immediately opened Weibo on her phone to search.
As expected, shocking headlines were everywhere:
[Wealthy Grandson Suspected of Molesting Underage Girl!]
[Fresh Trouble at Mansion, Wealthy Grandson Hospitalized After Beating on Day After Wedding! ]
[Scandals Among Wealthy Third Generation: Moral Decay or Twisted Human Nature?]
As she read, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief, d that she had been cheated. First ying with two women, and now causing such a scandal, Xing Yuyun truly showed that appearances can deceive.
Just as she was engrossed in reading¡
¡°It¡¯s raining.¡±
Su Wanwan looked outside the car window and indeed, it was.
A light rain had begun to fall outside, and the sky had turned gloomy.
So, Pan Hui did mean well by offering her a ride¡
Su Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed.
She had misjudged him¡
Due to the rain, they had to slow down. By the time they entered the fourth ring, it was already six in the evening.
Huo Jingshen left work punctually at five-thirty every day and would be home soon.
Previously, she always assumed that business elites would be like Xiao Yebai, always overworking and wining and dining, swamped with work.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen proved to be the exception. Since their marriage, she had hardly seen him work overtime, and he rarely socialized.
¡°Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.¡± His call came in, his voice stillmanding, ¡°Where are you?¡±
Su Wanwan nced outside, ¡°National Road.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Saying that, Huo Jingshen hung up.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t think much of it, but Pan Hui asked, ¡°Is your family worried?¡±
¡°¡Yes.¡± Su Wanwan replied, somewhat perfunctory.
Worried my foot! It¡¯s just his routine check on her whereabouts.
When the chubby instructor was dropped off, the night had fallen and the rain showed no sign of stopping.
Finally, when they reached Tianquan Royal Court, Su Wanwan said, ¡°You can stop at the entrance.¡±
The Tianquan Royal Court could be considered an indicator of the wealthy in Nancheng, and even renting a house there was quite expensive. After giving it some thought, Pan Hui drove directly into theplex..

Chapter 103:103, kill your love rival in a second, just need one sentence
Trantor: 549690339
The security guard at the entrance took a nce and surprisingly didn¡¯t stop them.
¡°It¡¯s raining quite heavily, let me drop you at your front door,¡± he exined.
Su Wanwan had no choice but to give her door number.
Five minutester, the car slowly stopped at the courtyard door.
Through the curtain of rain, Pan Hui looked at the yard behind the iron fence. The bright lights in the three-story vi spoke of extravagance and nobility in the night.
¡°Do you live here?¡±
He could hardly hide his surprise.
Being a native of Nancheng, he was aware that thend here was extremely valuable, let alone such arge courtyard; that couldn¡¯t have been less than several tens of millions, could it?
Before Su Wanwan could speak, she suddenly heard the windows being urgently knocked.
Turning her head, she saw a tall figure standing outside the window.
Woah!
All of a sudden, Su Wanwan was startled.
However, Pan Hui kindly unlocked the car, ¡°Miss Su, your family hase to pick you up.¡±
Before Su Wanwan could react, the car door had already been pulled open from the outside.
A gust of damp cold air roared in immediately. Then her arm was caught by a strong force, and she was dragged out of the car.
¡°Ah!¡±
Su Wanwan eximed as her body mmed into a solid figure.
Huo Jingshen stood there, holding a ck umbre, his gaze focused on Pan Hui who just got out of the car.
Su Wanwan quickly exined, ¡°He is my driving instructor, he just dropped me off because of the rain.¡±
Huo Jingshen quickly sized up the situation and responded in a calm voice, ¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Pan Hui replied as he studied the man in front of him.
Dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers, the man was tall and seemingly mature; his face under the ck umbre was handsome yet emotionless.
With a well-defined face, attractive and elegant features, his serious eyes when he looked at people, especially his pair of ck, deep eyes, as if harboring ancient pasts, were elusive.
After thinking for a moment, Pan Hui greeted with a smile, ¡°Mr. Su, nice to meet you, I am Pan¡¡±
¡°Who told you my surname is Su?¡± Huo Jingshen interjected with a raised eyebrow.
Pan Hui was stunned.
Isn¡¯t he Su Wanwan¡¯s rtive?
He looked more mature than Su Wanwan and seemed just over thirty. So, he didn¡¯t feel right calling him ¡®uncle¡¯ and assumed he was Wanwan¡¯s elder brother or something.
If his surname isn¡¯t Su, then could he be¡
¡°So, you¡¯re Miss Su¡¯s cousin, right?¡± Pan Hui instantly caught on.
Huo Jingshen let out a low scoff, ¡°Darling, aren¡¯t you going to introduce me?¡±
Hearing the word ¡°darling¡±, Su Wanwan¡¯s legs went weak.
Who would have guessed that the strong hand on her waist would suddenly pinch her, and at the same time, Huo Jingshen, not tending to mince his words, asked, ¡°Darling, why are your legs weak? Did we¡ tire you outst night? Do you need your husband to carry you?¡±
Holy shit!
There are others present here, what nonsense is this ruffian spewing out?
Seeing Pan Hui¡¯s dumbstruck face, Su Wanwan hung her head down, clenching her fists, gnashing her teeth.
She was too embarrassed to show her face now!
As for Pan Hui¡
¡®Darling¡¯?
¡®Tired fromst night¡¯?
¡®Husband¡¯?
When these three key words were put together, the impact was too strong and the shock too wide, leaving himpletely bbergasted.
It wasn¡¯t until Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan away and therge iron gate of the vi slowly closed with a ¡°ng¡± that Pan Hui realized he waspletely soaked.
*
*
Once they entered the vi, Su Wanwan fiercely pushed Huo Jingshen away and started venting.
¡°Why did youe to pick me up at the door?¡±
¡°What were you thinking saying those words?¡±
¡°Are you a sadist?¡±
¡°You did it on purpose!¡±
¡°Do you want to catch me cheating?¡±
Huo Jingshen stored his umbre away, raising his eyebrows, ¡°Cheating?¡±
Compared to her agitated look, his expression was gentle, his tone indifferent, ¡°With him?¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
¡°A nerdy geek, can he evenpare to your perfect husband?¡± Huo Jingshen shamelessly eximed.
Su Wanwan was so infuriated that the corners of her mouth twitched unceasingly. After a long while, she finally spat out four words: ¡°Shameless bastard!¡±
She was so brazen, praising herself while ndering others; this woman had truly no shame!
Huo Jingshen turned around and walked into the living room.
His back straight and legs long, even his silhouette emanated an air of arrogance, ¡°I came to get you because I intended to take you to the hospital to see my grandfather.¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s anger vanished instantly, she hurriedly followed him. ¡°What happened to your grandfather?¡±
¡°Nothing major. Just infuriated by your ex-fiancee.¡± said Huo Jingshen, suggesting with his eyes, ¡°Go and finish the bowl of noodles.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan obediently went to the table to see arge bowl of steaming beef noodles. The aroma was so rich that even her eyes lit up, ¡°Wow, did you make this for me?¡±
¡°Apart from your husband, who else would make¡ noodles for you to eat?¡±
Hearing these words, the corners of Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth started twitching again.
Was he ying games again?
She was unsure whether she should eat it or not.
She nced at Huo Jingshen.
He was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his tablet with his distinguished fingers, his eyes were unfazed and his face calm, his expression was excessivelyposed.
He seemed like his words were merely casual remarks.
Uh.
Was she overthinking it?
Cough, having spent a long time with such a scum, her thoughts had be filthy!
Su Wanwan was ashamed, she quickly sat down and started eating.
She had to admit, on such a rainy night,ing home after experiencing bitter winds to have a bowl of steaming beef noodles, was truly a delightful thing.
She devoured the noodles until the bowl waspletely empty, even drinking up thest bit of soup. Setting the bowl down, she patted her stomach, licking her lips and murmured, ¡°Delicious!¡±
Huo Jingshen watched her¡
His eyes darkening.
Then, he rose, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
*
*
When they arrived at the hospital, they could hear terrifying roars in the corridor.
¡°Was the scene at the wedding a few days ago not disgraceful enough? Just a few days after marriage and such a scandalous thing happened! Now the whole of Nancheng knows that my, Huo Yuanshan¡¯s, grandson molested a minor in a club and was beaten up till he had to be hospitalized¡¡±
Madam Huo pushed her husband hard.
The roaring stopped.
Old Master Huo sat upright on the edge of the bed, his pyjama-d body sat straight, hisplexion was flush, not at all like a sick man.
His gaze was unyielding, and because of the outburst earlier, his chest heaved slightly.
Sitting on the sofa in front of the bed was Huo Qinyu, her eyes already red from crying, and she was still wiping her tears non-stop.
Seeing her grandson and granddaughter-inwe in, Old Master Huo couldn¡¯t help but harshly rebuke, ¡°If you want to cry, go upstairs and cry! Don¡¯t irritate my eyes here!¡±
Huo Qinyu bowed her head, not daring to make a sound.
¡°Ashen, why did you bring Wanwan here sote?¡± asked grandmother Huo benevolently.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips curved into a smirk, ¡°When Wanwan heard that grandfather was hospitalized because of Yuyun, she was worried about grandfather¡¯s health. She cried and made a fuss, insisting that I bring her here to visit.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Perhaps they didn¡¯t expect her to be so ¡°filial¡±, even Old Master Huo spared her two extra nces.
However, his gaze was filled with scepticism, as if he was saying: ¡°Really? I find it hard to believe. I don¡¯t trust you!¡±
¡°This Wanwan child is so filial, unlike Zhexi. Yuanshan has been in the hospital for half a day, and he hasn¡¯t even visited once. So disgraceful!¡± After scolding her grandson, Mrs. Huo began to appease her granddaughter-inw, ¡°Wenwen, don¡¯t worry, Yuanshan is in good health. There¡¯s nothing serious, he can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
Just now, that roar was so full of energy, it did not sound like he was unwell at all.
The old master took a sip of water from the tea cup, his sonorous voice rang out again. ¡°Since Ashen¡¯s here, Qinyu, say what you need to.¡±
Huo Qjnyu raised her head, her gaze darting back and forth between Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan. She seemed to have a hard time speaking up.
Su Wenwen understood upon seeing her in this state.
Huo Qinyu must have cried so much because of Xing Yuyun¡¯s situation. Considering their previous rtionship and her new status, as an elder, she naturally wouldn¡¯t want to lower her stance in front of Wanwan.
Su Wenwen picked up her handbag, ¡°Grandpa, grandma, I need to use the restroom.¡±
Grandmother Huo nodded approvingly, ¡°Go ahead.¡±
As soon as Su Wanwan left the room and the door closed, Huo Qinyu immediately started, ¡°Ashen, this must be a misunderstanding! Yuyun would never do such a thing. As his mother, I know him. He¡¯s not that irresponsible.¡± ¡°What did Yuyun say?¡± Huo Jingshen sat down on the other end of the sofa.
Huo Qinyu immediately started hemming and hawing, ¡°He¡he didn¡¯t want to say anything.¡±
Last night, Xing Family suddenly received a call saying that Xing Yuyun started amotion at the mansion and was taken to the police station..
Chapter 104 - 104:104, little sister-in-law is hitting people again
Chapter 104:104, little sister-inw is hitting people again
Trantor: 549690339
She and her husband hurried over, only to discover that their son was already battered and bruised.
The few men present were bodyguards from the mansion, iming that Xing Yuyun got drunk and behaved inappropriately in the women¡¯s restroom, even molesting an underage girl. There were even several reporters present at the scene¡
Xing Yuyun was now resting in his room, the news was making headlines, but no matter how much she asked, he refused to reveal a word.
¡°Yuyun is an adult and should be responsible for his actions,¡± Huo Jingshen spoke calmly and detachedly. ¡°He¡¯s the head of Huo Yuan real estate¡¯s advertising department. Such a scandal is a terrible reflection on thepany¡¯s image.¡±
¡°Ashen, what do you mean by that?¡± Huo Qinyu felt uneasy, ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, Yuyun must have been framed. This must be a misunderstanding!¡±
¡°To minimize the damage to thepany, I have issued an order.¡±
Huo Qinyu was anxious and uneasy, ¡°Wha¡what order?¡±
¡°Once Yuyun recovers from his injuries, he will go to Jiangcheng to oversee the operations of the new development zone.¡±
¡°What?¡± Huo Qinyu¡¯s face turned pale.
*
*
Su Wenwen went upstairs.
There was a small coffee bar here, perfect for passing the time.
After finishing a cup of milk tea and yed a few games, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message, ¡°Where are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be home soon.¡±
Su Wanwan stood up, paid the bill, and promptly went downstairs.
As she passed by the restroom, after some thought, she decided to go in.
Who would have thought she woulde across a wench inside.
What a small world!
Nevermind, she thought, I¡¯ll just go to another floor.
Just as she turned around, Xing Siqing¡¯s provocative voice rang out, ¡°So you¡¯re running away at the sight of me? Guilty conscience, huh?¡±
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the restroom stalls without a single nce at her.
This arrogant attitude instantly infuriated Xing Siqing. Coupled with the recent news of Xing Yuyun being transferred and Su Wanwan¡¯s sudden appearance here¡
She stomped over in her high heels and seized Su Wanwan¡¯s arm, ¡°Listen here, you bitch, are you deaf? Didn¡¯t you hear me talking?¡±
Su Wanwan forcefully shook off her hand, a malicious smile tugged at the corners of her lips, ¡°I only heard a little slut prattling, oh it¡¯s you, the Miss Xing Family?¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s face changed dramatically, she lifted her hand intending to p her.
However, her hand was forcefully knocked away before it could even reach her face.
Moreover, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t hold back at all, the sudden ¡°p¡± caused Xing Siqing to yelp in pain.
Xing Siqing lowered her head to look at her reddened arm, anger zing in her arrogant face, ¡°You dare to hit me?¡±
Su Wenwen continued to smile, ¡°I used to spare you some face because you¡¯re a member of the Xing family. But if you dare to make a scene in front of me again, I¡¯ll p you each time I see you!¡±
¡°You wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Xing Siqing¡¯s voice suddenly became shrill.
¡°Just try me!¡± Su Wanwan threatened, raising her chin.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Su Wanwan decided to make her feel even worse, ¡°You¡¯re close with Su Yanyan, aren¡¯t you? You can ask her how many times I¡¯ve pped her since I got back to the country.¡±
Having said that, she turned proudly and entered the stall.
Xing Siqing stood there, her hands clenched tightly.
The moment the stall door was shut, she blurted out, ¡°It was your doing that my brother got transferred to Jiangcheng, wasn¡¯t it? You¡¯re quite capable huh, having such skills in bed that he does whatever you want him to do. No wonder you¡¯re so arrogant in front of me!¡±
Seeing that Su Wanwan didn¡¯t respond, she gritted her teeth even more, ¡°You¡¯re nothing more than a used piece of trash my brother dumped. I can¡¯t believe he treasures you so much. He must be bewitched, doesn¡¯t he find a lowly woman like you disgusting?¡±
Having ranted without any reaction from Su Wanwan, Xing Siqing felt a bit better. She took a deep breath and said smugly, ¡°You think that by transferring my brother out of town, you can cover up your affair with him? You just wait, I¡¯m going to tell my grandparents about everything, including your past achievements, one by one¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, the restroom stall door was abruptly flung open.
Xing Siqing, startled, instinctively stepped back.
Su Wanwan stepped out, ignoring her but didn¡¯t offer any rebuttal either, she just walked over and turned on the tap.
Seeing that she was too scared to respond, Xing Siqing started yelling again, ¡°Are you scared now? I¡¯ve seen a lot of women like you, using your looks to seduce men, just like your dead mother¡ Ah!¡±
A scream echoed through the restroom, apanied by the sharp sound of a p.
Xing Siqing¡¯s face was jerked to one side by the force of the p, her delicate cheek quickly swelling with a red, wet handprint¡
Su Wanwan stared at her, her beautiful eyes filled with unprecedented coldness and ruthlessness, ¡°I hate it when people mention that woman in front of me. Xing Siqing, if you aren¡¯t afraid, try mentioning her again.¡±
Xing Siqing suddenly lifted her head, ¡°So you also feel ashamed, huh? Your mother was nothing more than a mistress and you¡¯re the illegitimate daughter¡ Ah!¡±
Another p came down.
Su Wanwan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t even change, her voice remained the same, ¡°Keep going.¡±
¡°Su Wanwan, everyone in Nancheng knows about your mother being a mistress¡ Ah!¡±
This time, the pain came from her scalp.
Su Wenwen grabbed Xing Siqing¡¯s hair, yanking hard, nearly bending her neck.
Xing Siqing raised her hand, desperately trying to w at Su Wanwan¡¯s arm, but due to the pain and her short height, she couldn¡¯t reach, making herself hurt even more..

Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan just stared at her coldly, ¡°Do you want to continue talking?¡±
Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, too painful to endure and frightened, she began to cry.
She cursed while crying, but she dared not mention those two words again.
Until a cell phone ringing from Xing Siqing¡¯s bag broke the silence.
Su Wanwan seemed to snap back to reality, the cold atmosphere surrounding her gradually dispersed, her expression finally returning to normal.
She released her grip, picked up a tissue to wipe her hands, and left the room.
She took two steps before the sound of high-heeled shoes followed her from behind. Suddenly, something sharp hit her hard on the back¡
*
*
In the hospital room.
Old Master Huo sighed deeply, ¡°It¡¯s okay to let Yuyun go out of town to avoid the storm. We¡¯ll deal with this matter as you suggested.¡±
Huo Jingshen nodded but didn¡¯t say anything else.
Huo Qinyu had already left; unable to ept the situation, yet with the outrage revolving her, there seemed to be no better solution.
¡°It¡¯s gettingte, Ashen, you take Wanwan home to rest. Doesn¡¯t she have a driving lesson tomorrow?¡± Old Madam Huo said.
¡°Okay.¡± Huo Jingshen got up, ready to make a call.
¡°Knock Knock Knock¡±.
In a rush, the door was pushed open, and Nangong Ci, dressed in a white coat, rushed in, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s terrible! Sister-inw has hit someone again!¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
The crowd:¡±¡¡±
*
*
The hallway was crammed.
Security guards, doctors, nurses, and nosy patients and rtives were all making a fuss; it could easily be mistaken for a market.
From a distance, you could still hear Xing Siqing¡¯s cries.
¡°Break it up, break it up, security, do your job!¡± Nangong Cimanded in a pretend-to-be-busy manner.
Huo Jingshen shot him a cold re.
Nangong Ci coughed, ¡°Brother, I hurried to inform you about the incident.¡±
With the security guards doing their job, soon, the scene only left the two involved and three elders who had stayed in the hospital.
¡°What is happening?¡±
Madam Huo quickly went forward, first scanning Su Wanwan, ¡°Wanwan, are you okay?¡±
Then she turned to Xing Siqing, but she was so startled that her voice rose, ¡°My God, Siqing, how did you get hurt so badly?¡±
¡°Grandma.¡± Xing Siqing sobbed herint, ¡°She! She¡¯s the one who hit me!¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s hair was in disarray, and her face was clearly marked with ps. Her cheeks and neck were crisscrossed with the scratches of a woman¡¯s fingernails, some even oozing with blood. It was a horrifying sight.
Even her clothes were dirty and torn, revealing a bruised and scraped leg.
In contrast, Su Wanwan, except for a slightly disheveled bun and a couple of red scratch marks on her arms, her clothes were a bit dirty, but overall, she seemed to be unscathed.
The contrast between them was striking.
At first nce, it seemed as Nangong Ci had said, Su Wanwan had hit someone, and the victim was Xing Siqing.
Madam Huo¡¯s brows furrowed at the sight.
¡°Ashen.¡±
The one who spoke was Huo Qinyu.
Seeing her beautiful daughter beaten like this made her very upset, ¡°Yuyun is still in the hospital room recuperating from his injuries. Siqing just came out to help throw out some garbage. How did she end up being beaten to this extent by Wanwan?¡±
She took a deep breath, ¡°I know that Wanwan doesn¡¯t like Siqing, but no matter what, Siqing is still your sister. Don¡¯t you think that Wanwan went too far this time? Siqing is a girl; her face is scratched like this. What if there are scars? Her face is ruined. How can she face other people in the future?¡±
After a moment of silence.
Madam Huo was the first one to ask, ¡°Wanwan, what on earth happened?¡±
Su Wanwan stood there, a beautiful little face devoid of emotion, cold and aloof, but still did not speak.
¡°Grandma.¡± Xing Siqing sobbed, ¡°Look at my face. It¡¯s all her scratches; she even pinched my neck, pulled my hair, and tore my dress! She did it on purpose!¡±
¡°Yes, I did it on purpose.¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, ¡°You deserved it because of your foul mouth. If not you, then who? The next time I see you, I will hit you again! I¡¯ll hit you every time I see you, until you¡¯re scared at just the sight of me!¡±
The harsh words made Xing Siqing tremble with fear.
She immediately shrank into Huo Qinyu¡¯s arms, frightened, shivering she used, ¡°Did you hear that? She just admitted everything. She¡¯s threatening me in front of you all! Mom, I¡¯m scared. Wail¡¡±
The crying irritated Madam Huo, ¡°Siqing, what exactly did you say to Wanwan?¡±
Taken aback, Xing Siqing replied with unjustifiable innocence, ¡°Grandma, what do you mean by that? Clearly I was the one who was attacked, and now you¡¯re ming me instead? Aren¡¯t you being biased? Are you still trying to protect her after all this?¡±
¡°¡¡± Madam Huo was left speechless by her rebuttal.
¡°Siqing!¡± Xing Guozhi reprimanded sternly, ¡°How dare you speak to your grandmother that way?¡±
Xing Siqing became even more aggrieved, ¡°Yes, I may have said some bad things about her because she was the one who instigated my big brother to transfer my other brother out of town! She got mad and attacked me after I mentioned it, didn¡¯t she? Was I wrong to bring it up?¡±
Even Huo Qinyu was flustered at this point, hurriedly reminding her daughter in a cryptic manner, ¡°Siqing, your big brother isn¡¯t the type to blur the lines between personal and official matters. Don¡¯t just say things without thinking.¡± Defiantly, Xing Siqing insisted, ¡°I¡¯m talking nonsense? Clearly, she admitted to it.¡±
She red maliciously at Su Wenwen while continuously insisting,¡± Grandma, she was previously engaged to my brother and is now involved with my big brother. She¡¯s just afraid that my brother would get in the way and ruin her marriage ns in Nancheng, so she deliberately influenced my big brother¡¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s deep voice finally resounded.
Xing Siqing immediately fell silent.
Under his deep yet cold gaze, she mysteriously felt unable to act capricious any further.
Unearthly silence fell upon the room.
Then, Huo Jingshen spoke in a deep voice, ¡°I trust my wife.¡±
Everyone was stunned by his statement, including Su Wanwan who looked just as shocked.
Nangong Ci couldn¡¯t help but want tough.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
What drama is unfolding here?
A romantic TV show?
Showcasing their love?
Even after his little sister-inw had beaten his own sister to such an extent, big brother still obstinately defended her?
Huo Jingshen stood there, his eyes soft, his demeanor rxed, yet the words he uttered portrayed his tant favouritism, ¡°Although my wife is still young, I believe she¡¯s a sensible and good child who won¡¯t hit others without cause.¡± Good child?
Su Wanwan¡¯s lips twitched involuntarily.
¡°As for Yuyun¡¯s transfer¡±
Huo Jingshen shifted his tone, smiling yet not smiling, ¡°Out of fraternal love, I merely had him reassigned. If you find this decision uneptable, he can resign willingly and seek better opportunities.¡±
Huo Qinyu¡¯s face turned pale instantly, ¡°Ashen¡ you¡ you can¡¯t be like this!¡±
Xing Guozhi was also visibly displeased.
As for Xing Siqing, she could hardly hold back her scream, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡±
Huo Jingshen only flickered his eyelids open but his eyes remained as cold as ice.
¡°Even if I spoke ill of her, does it mean she can attack me in such a manner and escape responsibility? Even the surveince footage can prove it!¡± After speaking, Xing Siqing red at Su Wanwan, delivering yet another shocking promation, ¡°I want her to apologize to me! Otherwise, I will sue her in court!¡±
Huo Qinyu hurriedly intervened, ¡°Siqing, can you please stop causing a scene?¡± Has her daughter gone mad?
However¡
¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡± Huo Jingshen began, ¡°Xiao San, ask the security to bring up the surveince video.¡±
This shocked even Nangong Ci.
His peach blossom eyes widened, seemingly asking:
Are you sure?
Really?
Don¡¯t be rash!
Do you want to reconsider?
After all, regardless of how you look at it, it¡¯s obvious that Su Wanwan did hit Xing Siqing!
Are you knowingly jumping into a trap?
¡°Let it go.¡± Xing Guozhi advised, ¡°It¡¯s just kids fighting, it will all be alright once things are settled.¡±
After all, they are all family, and it¡¯s already ratherte, making a scene would not be good.
The recent events concerning Xing Yuyun have already given him a headache, causing further distress to Grandma this time isn¡¯t going to leave a good impression regardless of the oue.
¡°Exactly.¡± Nangong Ci immediately echoed, ¡°You¡¯re all family, why make a fuss?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not rted to her!¡± Xing Siqing yelled as she interrupted him, ¡°She left me like this, it¡¯s all clear in the surveince camera!¡¯1
¡°To the monitoring room.¡±
At Huo Jingshen¡¯smand, Nangong Ci had no choice but to turn around and lead the way..

**
Arge group of people headed towards the surveince room in the basement.
The guards quickly got to work.
Soon, the surveince video began to y.
In the footage, Su Wanwan emerged from the restroom first and appeared in the corridor. Then, Xing Siqing appeared, charged at Su Wanwan and hit her with a bag. Su Wanwan turned around and knocked Xing Siqing to the ground before climbing onto her and giving her a good beating.
Nangong Ci was eye-opened by the scene.
This sister-inw was really fierce, pulling hair, scratching faces, pping, and even kicking several times after being pulled away by the crowd.
¡°You all saw it, right?¡±
Xing Siqing spoke smugly, ¡°I want her to apologize to me immediately, otherwise, I¡¯ll sue her for intentional injury in court!¡±
¡°In this matter, my wife did act improperly.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was deep. ¡°She didn¡¯t know how to control her force which resulted in Siqing being seriously injured. Once we return home, I will definitely teach her a lesson.¡±
Nangong Ci was taken aback again.
Oh my god, the elder brother took the initiative to apologize for his wife when the situation was unfavorable?
Even though it is wise to act ording to the circumstances this doesn¡¯t feel like him at all; such submission was out of character.
This was beyond expectation.
The next second.
¡°However, ording to the surveince footage, Siqing was the first to attack. From a legal standpoint, when one is attacked, it iswful to counter with reasonable force to prevent oneself from being harmed. Under such circumstances, any counter-attacks against the attacker are considered legal self-defense and do not constitute any criminal act. Even if we go to court, this video can only prove that my wife acted in self-defense.¡±
Everyone:¡±¡¡±
If it weren¡¯t for everyone else¡¯s faces being too remarkable, Nangong Ci would not have been able to stop himself from apuding.
In just a few days, his elder brother¡¯s ability to spout nonsense with a straight face had improved!
No wonder he didn¡¯t panic when he mentioned invoking the surveince video. He¡¯s indeed sly as a fox and can twist the facts, this Xing Siqing definitely won¡¯t be a match for him!
¡°She touched me first!¡± Xing Siqing yelled anxiously, ¡°She hit me first in the restroom. Where is the surveince video for the restroom? Get it out quickly!¡±
¡°Sorry,¡± the guard replied. ¡°There is no surveince inside the restroom.¡±
Once again, everyone:¡±¡¡±
Xing Siqing felt as if her blood was rushing in reverse. She widened her eyes and screamed hysterically, ¡°I didn¡¯t lie! I really didn¡¯t lie! It was her! She really hit me first! She hit me first in the restroom!¡±
She never imagined that such a nailed-on case could be turned upside down like this.
¡°Siqing!¡± There was clear displeasure on Madam Huo¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re not a child anymore, why can¡¯t you behave properly? Wanwan is your sister-inw, I still remember that your rude wordsst time caused her to get hurt! Do you never learn from your past mistakes?¡±
¡°Grandma,st time, it was clearly her who bumped into me first, I exined it to you¡¡±
¡°Siqing.¡± Huo Qinyu interrupted her daughter directly. ¡°Apologize to your sister-inw.¡±
¡°Mom, what are you talking about?¡± Xing Siqing looked shocked. ¡°Your daughter has obviously been bullied by this woman, this mistress has injured me like this, not only do you not help me, you also assist this mistress to go against your own daughter¡¡±
¡°You still dare to speak out!¡± Xing Guozhi became agitated.
As expected, Mrs Huo¡¯s face suddenly darkened, and a cold light shed in her eyes. ¡°Qinyu, is this the well-educated daughter you raised?!¡±
¡°Mother, Siqing didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Huo Qinyu hurriedly tried to exin.
Even though Mrs. Huo was usually affable and seldom lost her temper, that didn¡¯t mean she was without a temper.
On the contrary, without Mrs. Huo¡¯s decisive determination when she was young, the Huo family wouldn¡¯t be in their current position.
¡°She dared to insult Wanwan in front of me, an old woman, I wonder what obscene words she would say behind closed doors!
No wonder Wanwan didn¡¯t hold back her punches, I finally see that she was triggered by these foul words!
Even though Wanwan is younger, in terms of seniority, since she married Ashen, she is Siqing¡¯s elder sister.
I don¡¯t expect her to treat Wanwan as ¡®an elder sister is like a mother¡¯. Doesn¡¯t she even know basic respect?
Using the term ¡®mistress¡¯, is this the well-educated daughter you raised?
Is this the quality of you Xing family?¡±
Mrs. Huo¡¯s series of usations, made in front of many younger generations, made Huo Qinyu¡¯s face burn with humiliation. The only thing she could do was apologize weakly, ¡°Mother, I was wrong. It was me who didn¡¯t educate my daughter well. I will apologize to Wanwan on behalf of Siqing.¡±
She turned to look at Su Wenwen, ¡°Wenwen, it was all Siqing¡¯s fault. She was spoiled by me and knows no manners. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
Who would have thought Xing Siqing would start yelling again, ¡°Mom, why should you apologize to that mistress¡¡±
Huo Qinyu couldn¡¯t take it anymore and gave her a p.
With a ¡°bang¡±, the entire surveince room quieted down.
Nangong Ci was also left dumbfounded.
My god!
He really had his eyes opened today!
It started with his sister-inw beating up Xing Siqing, followed by Mrs. Huo teaching the younger generation with great authority and now Huo Qinyu is also showing her ruthless side, she just pped her own daughter without hesitation.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
No wonder ancient people used to say, ¡°It is better to offend a wicked person than to offend a woman¡±.
It¡¯s eternal truth!
¡°Your brother is still recovering, you¡¯ve been making a fuss till now, aren¡¯t you afraid of losing face? Today, you made a mistake. I hope this p can remind you to learn your lesson and keep your mouth shut in the future!¡± Huo Qinyu reprimanded sternly.
That p was too hard. Her right hand was numb and ached till it trembled.
But without doing so, it would be difficult to calm Mrs. Huo¡¯s anger.
As expected, seeing Huo Qinyu disciplining her daughter, Mrs Huo¡¯s expression softened.
She sighed, her fingers massaging her temples, obviously annoyed, ¡°Both of you, take her away quickly. I don¡¯t want to see her in front of me for some time.¡±
¡°Mother, don¡¯t be angry, I will take her away now.¡± Xing Guozhi finished speaking and dragged Xing Siqing away.
¡°Grandma, why are you treating me like this, grandma, you¡¯re so biased¡¡±
No matter how she cried and shouted, she was still taken away.
After entering the elevator.
As soon as the door closed, Xing Siqing began to sob, ¡°Dad, Mom, why don¡¯t you help me? That little slut attacked me first. She hit me twice in the bathroom and pulled my hair. I just couldn¡¯t stand it and fought back. I didn¡¯t lie.¡±
¡°Did anyone see it? Who would believe you by just saying this?¡± Xing Guozhi was frustrated with her.
¡°Everything I said is true!¡± Xing Siqing was so upset that she was about to cough up blood, ¡°Mom, you have to believe me.¡±
¡°Stop crying.¡±
Huo Qinyu handed her a tissue and wiped away her tears, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell youst time, whether you like it or not, Su Wanwan is now Ashen¡¯s wife, and your sister-inw. Her status has changed drastically, why can¡¯t you ept this reality? Why are you always picking a fight with her?¡±
¡°But it was clearly her who sowed discord and made my brother get transferred.¡± Xing Siqing felt extremely wronged.
¡°So she hit you for this?¡± Xing Guozhi looked at her disbelievingly.
He knew his daughter well, she had been pampered since she was a child and had a rtively simple mind; everything showed on her face.
Earlier upstairs, she was clearly guilty, and her words hid some facts.
¡°I¡I was just upset and mentioned her mom.¡± Xing Siqing quickly defended herself after finishing her sentence, ¡°But it¡¯s true. Grandpa once said that Uncle Su was harmed by that woman.¡±
¡°Siqing, don¡¯t say such things without thinking!¡± Huo Qinyu hurriedly stopped her.
¡°I¡¯m not, I heard it when grandpa called Su¡¯s grandpa, he even said that the woman should disappear forever and never return to Nancheng¡¡±
Her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Because the elevator door opened and someone entered.
*
*
On the other side, after leaving the surveince room, Mrs. Huo said, ¡°Ashen, take Wanwan upstairs to check for any other injuries.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡°I will exin the matter with Yuanshan, you two don¡¯t worry.¡± Mrs. Huo added.
Listening to the olddy, Su Wanwan felt mixed feelings.
She was touched, but more so she felt guilty.
She was the one who had beaten Xing Siqing. She was ready to be med by the elders of the two families. So, she didn¡¯t argue or try to defend herself earlier, thinking let the punishment be whatever it may be. But unexpectedly¡ the things turned out okay!
After seeing off Mrs. Huo, Nangong Ci went back to his office while Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan to the first floor for a check-up.
Besides a scratch on her arm and a small bruise on her back from being hit by the metal part of the bag, there was no serious injury.
When Huo Jingshen went to get medicine, he called her back, ¡°Wait here for me, don¡¯t move, understand?¡±
Su Wanwan obediently nodded.
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes.
Because of the fight, her long curly hair was tousled, highlighting her tender features, looking incredibly well-behaved. Where was the ¡°shrew¡± from the video?
Well, considering she was injured, they could settle the scorester at home.
*
*
After Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan waited on a long bench in the hallway.
It was already nine o¡¯clock in the night, there were not many people on the first floor, and it seemed very quiet.
She took out her cell phone from her bag and saw several missed calls.
Apart from a call from Pan Hui, the others came from a strange local number.
Who could it be?
Frowning, she was about to call that number back¡
¡°Make way, please make way!¡±
A sudden hustle and bustle of footsteps echoed, apanied by the harsh sound of wheels scraping across the floor.
Su Wanwan looked up to see a few medical staff pushing a gurney. Behind them was a tall and cold man.
He wore a white shirt and ck pants. There was fresh blood on his white shirt, which was startling at first nce.
As he got closer and she could see his face, Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened.
Xiao Yebai?
Why was he here?
Shouldn¡¯t he be at the hotel celebrating his wedding anniversary with Weiyi at this time?
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t notice her.
He furrowed his brows, his lips tightly pressed into a straight line. Wearing sses, his face was tense, and he looked cold and moody.
He walked straight past her and continued forward following the gurney.
Su Wanwan instinctively followed him.
The medical staff pushed the gurney into the elevator, and when the man was about to get in, she quickly reached out and grabbed him.
¡°Xiao Yebai!¡±
Xiao Yebai was forced to halt.
He turned to the side, the coldness in his eyes focusing on the arm that had been grabbed, then slowly looked up at her.
With that kind of look, if it had happened in the past, Su Wanwan would definitely not dare to be so bold. But things were different now.
¡°Why are you here? Where¡¯s Weiyi?¡± She demanded.
Seeing that Xiao Yebai wasn¡¯t talking, Su Wanwan looked at the gurney and saw a woman lying on it. The woman had short ck hair and her face was turned inward so she couldn¡¯t see it clearly. All she could hear were painful groans.
¡°Are you going to use the elevator or not? There¡¯s no time. The pregnant woman must have surgery immediately!¡± The medical staff inside began to rush them.
Pregnant?
She needs surgery?
Su Wanwan was immediately infuriated. She stared at the tall and indifferent man in front of her and cursed loudly, ¡°You bastard, you¡¯re not even human! Weiyi loves you so much, she treats you so well, and yet you secretly cheat on her! Even getting your mistress pregnant! You¡¯re such a bastard!¡±
The bastard looked at her, his gaze was cold, his voice cold, ¡°Let go.¡±
¡°Today is your wedding anniversary, Weiyi bought so many gifts for you, she spent so much money, prepared so carefully, all for tonight! And here you are, apanying a mistress to abort a child, you¡¯re just a fucking beast!¡±

¡°We are going to see Weiyi now, and you are going to apologize to her¡¡± Su Wanwan said as she tried to drag him out of the room.
But just as they took a couple of steps, Xiao Yebai jerkily pulled his hand free and headed towards the elevator.
Su Wenwen was so furious that she darted ahead and aimed a kick at him without a word.
Because he was so tall, her kicknded on his leg instead, and a small footprint appeared instantly on his ck trousers.
Xiao Yebai was forced to stop once more.
He turned around, and the harshly bright corridor lights made the gaze hidden behind his sses seem murky and unclear.
His face expressionless, his voice cold and void of any emotion, he said, ¡°Zhiwei needs to have surgery for her miscarriage. If anything goes wrong because of your dy, you will be held responsible.¡±
Zhiwei?
Wasn¡¯t that Xiao Yebai¡¯s cousin?
When did shee back?
Why hadn¡¯t Weiyi told her?
Most importantly¡
A surgery for a miscarriage?
What the hell was going on?!
Su Wanwan had countless questions swirling in her mind. But just as she was about to demand answers, another deeper and colder male voice echoed behind her.
¡°What did I just say?¡±
Feeling her body tremble involuntarily, Su Wenwen quickly turned to look behind her.
Huo Jingshen was standing there, a bag dangling from his fingers. His handsome face was dark, and his gaze was icy and sharp.
Xiao Yebai, meanwhile, had already made his way into the elevator.
By the time the elevator doors closed and Su Wanwen had scrambled to react, it had already be toote.
She desperately kept pressing the button to call the elevator, but soon enough, another hand with distinct joints grabbed onto her arm.
Huo Jingshen started pulling her in the opposite direction.
¡°Let go of me. I have something important to do. You, jerk, let me go. Didn¡¯t you hear me, are you deaf¡¡±
Su Wanwan was absolutely astounded, her hands scratching and iling at him.
But it was no use. Her proudbat skills seemed like nothingpared to this man. She was easily overpowered within seconds¡
The area on her shoulder where the bruise was ached terribly as he held her firmly. Su Wanwan nearly burst into tears out of the sheer pain, she kept pushing him but he was unmoveable.
Finally, Huo Jingshen eased his grip.
As soon as he did, he noted her tearful eyes.
His lips thinned, expression severe as he asked, ¡°Will you dare to ignore my words again in the future?¡±
Su Wanwan red at him through teary eyes, unable to say a word.
In front of him, she was pitiful; her eyes moist, her mouth pouting¡
Where had the fierce little tiger from before disappeared?
Huo Jingshen¡¯s heart softened at the sight, his tone gentler as he stroked her cheek and said affectionately, ¡°From now on, just obey your husband¡¯s words¡¡± ¡°Are you crazy? Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m injured! You are causing me so much pain, jerk!¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
For that fleeting moment, as he continued to touch her smooth cheek, he felt a strong urge to pinch her instead!
Such a disobedient child!
Clearly, he couldn¡¯t count on her to show remorse for her actions.
So, he did what he felt like doing. He pinched her cheek.
¡°Ah!¡±
Screaming in pain, Su Wanwan instantly tried to scratch his hand.
Huo Jingshen instantly grabbed both of her restless hands and held them in his with a stern expression. His voice was low and stern, ¡°Go home and cut your nails.¡±
¡°Why should I?¡± Su Wanwan retorted.
Did he have control over everything, even her fingernails?
That¡¯s outrageous!
¡°Are they long so you can get into more fights?¡± Huo Jingshen retorted coldly.
Su Wanwan faltered and argued, ¡°I¡ I was defending myself! You said it yourself!¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled and started pulling her away with him. As they walked, he lectured her relentlessly, ¡°All day long, if you¡¯re not getting into fights, you¡¯re causing trouble for me. Now, you want to meddle in other people¡¯s affairs too?¡±
¡°Weiyi is my best friend. She is not some passerby.¡± Su Wanwan retorted defiantly. ¡°Is it wrong for me to care for a friend?¡±
¡°All you need to care about is your own husband.¡± After saying this, Huo Jingshen added, ¡°Don¡¯t meddle in the affairs of other people¡¯s husbands.¡±
Su Wanwan instantly thought of Xiao Yebai and anger bubbled up within her, ¡°All you men are heartless bastards, without exception! None of you are any good at all! Scumbags!¡±
The furrows deepened on Huo Jingshen¡¯s face, which had just recently softened. He gripped her soft hand, warning in his voice, ¡°Don¡¯t lump your perfect husband with those scumbags.¡±
So shameless!
Su Wenwen pursed her mouth, feeling upset.
She had always thought that Mo Weiyi was the luckiest woman in the world.
She came from a wealthy family, she was beautiful, was loved by so many elders, and married to her first love she had been in love with for 10 years. It was almost like a real-life fairy tale of a princess and a prince.
But today, on an important day like their wedding anniversary, her husband had chosen to apany his sister for an abortion?
It¡¯s true that Xiao Zhiwei was Xiao Yebai¡¯s own sister, but shouldn¡¯t such matters be apanied by one¡¯s husband or boyfriend?
Why should Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s brother have to apany her?

Trantor: 549690339 |
Wanwan recalled how Mo Weiyi had repeatedlyined that Xiao Zhiwei seemed to have a severe ¡°brotherplex¡±¡
No, she couldn¡¯t think like that anymore.
In the car, Su Wanwan instantly called Mo Weiyi.
¡°Weiyi, where are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m at the hotel. Do you want me to send you some pictures? I should tell you,
this room is full of rose petals, all arranged by myself¡¡±
¡°Where is Xiaobai?¡± Su Wanwan interrupted her.
¡°Xiaobai said he wouldeter. I¡¯m waiting to have a candlelight dinner with him,¡± Mo Weiyi continued, sounding whiny, ¡°Baby Wanwan, I arrived here at six o¡¯clock, and I¡¯ve been waiting for three hours. I¡¯m really starving, and
I¡¯m so pitiful.¡±
Listening to her coquettish voice, Su Wanwan felt relieved, ¡°That¡¯s good then. I thought he wasn¡¯ting.¡±
¡°How could it be? I just called him to hurry him up. He said Xiao Zhiwei wasn¡¯t feeling well and was taken to the hospital. He said he wille after he¡¯s done with that. It¡¯s really annoying; that bitch causes trouble every time shees back to the country. I think she¡¯s definitely doing it on purpose!¡±
Having said that, Mo Weiyi changed the topic, ¡°Speaking of which, should I take a bath now or wait for Xiaobai? But then, when should I wear my bunny
pajamas¡¡±
¡°Alright, alright. Just do whatever you want. I have to go. I¡¯m busy here.¡± Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone.

After a hectic day, she could finally rxpletely.
When they arrived at the Imperial Court, right after Huo Jingshen parked the car, he turned his head to find Su Wanwan sleeping like a baby.
Under the bright lights of the car, she quietly leaned on the back of the seat with her eyes closed; her long, lush eyshes cast two shadows on her moon-like, pale cheeks; her mouth was slightly pouted¡ªshe looked so innocent¡
¡°Wife,¡± Huo Jingshen looked at her, gently whispering, ¡°Wake up. We¡¯re home.¡±
¡°Baby.¡±
¡°Sweetheart.¡±
¡°My dear.¡±
After calling her several times, Su Wanwan still showed no response.
Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, exited the car, and then lifted her from the passenger seat.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
Su Wanwan, with her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, unconsciously mumbled something but was still unwilling to open her eyes.
In the end, she found afortable position, like a kitten finally finding a cosy spot, and continued to sleep peacefully.
In the dimly lit garage, the light was very dim.
The man stood tall, looking at the peacefully sleeping girl in his arms, his heart shattered into pieces.
How good it would be if she could always stay this docile?
Unfortunately¡
Once she wakes up, she will turn from a little kitten into a wild cat.

At the hospital.
In the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
An hourter, the operating room light finally went off.
¡°Who¡¯s the patient¡¯s family member?¡±
Xiao Yebai stood up.
The doctor removed his mask, ¡°What happened? The child was already four months along. Why didn¡¯t youe for a surgery earlier?¡±
¡°Is the pregnant woman okay?¡±
Seeing the man¡¯s cold expression and emotionless voice, the doctor looked even more unhappy, ¡°You young people only know how to enjoy yourselves. Don¡¯t you know how to take care of your body? If you don¡¯t want a child, you should take precautions in advance. Aren¡¯t you adults? Don¡¯t you know this basic knowledge?¡±
¡°Is the pregnant woman okay?¡± Xiao Yebai repeated the same question.
The doctor was very impatient, ¡°You¡¯re only worrying now. Where were you earlier?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s cold ck pupils narrowed, and he spoke coldly, ¡°Since she¡¯s fine, please take good care of her. I have to go now.¡±
¡°Hey, what do you mean by that¡¡±
Before the doctor could finish his sentence, the man had already turned around and left.

At the Huashang Hotel.
Inside the seven-star presidential suite, Mo Weiyiy on the luxurious long couch, her beautiful eyes facing the drizzling rain outside the window, and her beautiful little face was full of gloom.
She nced at the time¡ªit was half past ten.
Stinky Xiaobai!
He promised her that he wouldn¡¯t work overtime, but in the end, he still dragged it thiste!
And that bitch, she started acting up as soon as she got back to the country; iming that she was feeling unwell-she was clearly doing it on purpose!
She originally nned to have a candlelight dinner first, then watch the sweet DVD from their wedding, have a mandarin duck bath afterward, and finally wear the bunny pajamas she had carefully prepared¡
But now, she felt that there simply wasn¡¯t enough time, and all her ns seemed to be going down the drain!
Mo Weiyi, brimming with anger, picked up her phone and dialed a number again.
This time, unlike before, the call connected very quickly, and the man¡¯s deep and emotionless voice said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s soft voice sounded aggrieved, ¡°When are you finallying? It¡¯s already half past ten. If you don¡¯te soon, today will already be over.¡±
¡°I am driving. I¡¯ll be there in half an hour.
¡°Great! Then hurry up!¡±
Mo Weiyi instantly became cheerful. She jumped up from the couch, smiling happily, ¡°it¡¯s raining again outside. Drive carefully and be safe-ill wait for you.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
After ending the call, Mo Weiyi immediately went to the dressing mirror to
check her appearance..

Trantor: 549690339
Her tall figure was fully disyed by the goose-yellow floor-length dress she put on, her hair was styled into a Korean bun by the hairstylist today, and she wore delicate nude makeup. Apart from the two band-aids that were a bit of an eyesore on her neck, from head to toe, she was the picture of perfection!
Yet¡
Time was running out.
Mo Weiyi set about to run a bath.
After taking a bath, she applied a fragrant body lotion, changed into bunny pajamas, wrapped up in a bathrobe, andy on the bed, waiting for him.
However, as time flew, and she kept waiting, but he didn¡¯t arrive, her eyelids got heavier and heavier.
It was already her usual time to sleep.
Mo Weiyi, clutching her phone, nodded off little by little, like a chicken pecking at the grains. Eventually, she couldn¡¯t resist the sleepiness. Her head tilted, and she closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
*
*
The next day, a shrill ringtone on the phone abruptly woke her up.
Mo Weiyi opened her eyes to find that the day had already dawned.
She was lying in bed, all alone in the massive presidential suite.
Where was Xiaobai?
The phone was still ringing, she wasn¡¯t able to think through, so she decided to answer the call first, ¡°Dad?¡±
¡°Weiyi, where are you?¡± Mo Yaoxiong asked.
¡°I am¡¡±
¡°Hurry to the hospital.¡± Mo Yaoxiong cut her off, ¡°Zhiwei returned homest night, her condition isn¡¯t good. Xiaobai stayed with her overnight. You need toe quickly.¡±
With that, the call was disconnected.
Mo Weiyi frowned her delicate eyebrows.
It took her a moment to fullyprehend the meaning of his words.
So, Xiaobai didn¡¯test night because of Xiao Zhiwei?
She closed her eyes for a moment and she could feel her body trembling slightly.
A few secondster, Mo Weiyi got up, got dressed, washed her face, and put on makeup.
After finishing everything, she gave onest look at the carefully decorated room, picked up her bag, turned around, and quickly left.
She took the elevator downstairs to the lobby, marched straight out of the hotel.
It was six o¡¯clock and there weren¡¯t many people in the hotel, so Mo Weiyi walked fast and was just about to step out of the hotel¡¯s entrance when a figure came darting from the side.
She was knocked aside, and almost fell on the ground.
Just in the nick of time, a man¡¯s hand gripped her arm, preventing her fall.
The strong smell of tobo and alcohol invaded her nostrils.
Mo Weiyi quickly regained her footing, ¡°Thankyou!¡±
¡°Long hair cascading over the shoulders, wearing a bewitching yellow dress, with a face as beautiful as Shunhua and eyes as lovely as the spring water,¡± a familiar deep male voice said, ¡°Little Princess, where are you off to?¡±
While the tone of his voice was slightly frivolous, upon seeing the man¡¯s face clearly, Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes instantly shed with surprise.
It was Chu Xiuhuang!
The notorious yboy from the Chu family.
Most importantly, she had almost be engaged to him two years ago!
Though at that time, she purposefully agreed to the proposal just to provoke Xiaobai, their parents had met, and the gifts from the groom to the bride¡¯s family had also been given. Almost everyone in Nancheng¡¯s high society was aware about it.
One could say, apart from the final wedding feast, there was no difference between them and an engaged couple.
But then she jumped into Xiaobai¡¯s bed, sessfully won over that iceberg, and the matter concerning her marriage to Chu Xiuhuang was left unattended.
She was just eighteen at the time. Being young and inexperienced in dealing with suchplex rtionships, she turned to Mo Yaoxiong to cancel the engagement and promptly eloped with Xiaobai to their honeymoon.
Upon returning home, she heard that Chu Xiuhuang had been carelessly frolicking with a bunch of women, changing his girlfriend almost every month. Hence, she decided to move on from the incident.
Over the past two years, since the Chu family was an aristocratic family of schrs and the Mo family was in business, there was little interaction between the two families. Therefore, they hardly had any opportunities to meet. Little did she know, they would meet here.
It was a little awkward.
Seeing that Mo Weiyi appeared lost and didn¡¯t speak, Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows again and continued in a joking tone, ¡°Well, Little Princess, you¡¯re not here to rent a room with someone, just like me, are you?¡±
At his words, Mo Weiyi red at him with her rounded cat-like eyes, ¡°You think everyone is like you!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang smiled indifferently with his handsome face looking exceptionally charming, ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll give you a lift.¡± ¡°No need!¡±
¡°Little Princess, if I¡¯m not mistaken, we have had a bit of a fleeting rtionship in the past¡¡±
¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡± Mo Weiyi eximed, her pretty face turning red, ¡°All I did was dump you, alright? What fleeting rtionship are you talking about? Can you please not spout nonsense?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang stillughed devilishly, ¡°Right, you dumped me. You¡¯re the second woman in the world who has had the audacity to do so.¡±
¡°And you¡¯re still hung up on that?¡±
This is not the first time I¡¯ve been dumped!
¡°Because.¡± His smile suddenly disappeared, he retorted, lowering his voice, each word spoken with a chilling tone, ¡°The first woman who dumped me is already dead.¡±
Mo Weiyi felt a shiver run down her spine, ¡°You¡¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m just joking with you.¡± Chu Xiuhuang quickly resumed his charming smile and bent over in a gentlemanly way, ¡°My secretary has arrived, let¡¯s go. I will drop you off on the way.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± Mo Weiyi felt this person was too ominous.
Xiaobai was much better, although icy cold, he did not repeatedly scare people unpredictably.
¡°You might have trouble hailing a taxi right now.¡± Chu Xiuhuang said as he headed towards the stairs, seemingly not insisting, ¡°Nancheng is weing several foreign leaders today, the whole city is on high alert. If you don¡¯t leave now, you probably won¡¯t get home until noon.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
No wonder there are so few cars on the road.
But she still had to go to the hospital to find Xiaobai.
Looking at the ck Cayenne parked by the side of the road, a few secondster, Mo Weiyi waspelled to hurry up and follow.
*
*
¡°Where is Little Princess going?¡±
After getting into the car, Chu Xiuhuang askedzily.
¡°Nangong Hospital.¡±
¡°Secretary Shi, first take Little Princess to Nangong Hospital.¡±
¡°Okay, Young Master Chu.¡±
After the female secretary responded, she quickly and proficiently drove the car out.
Although Mo Weiyi was still studying, she asionally attended gatherings in the upper-ss circles and had heard gossip about this female secretary of Chu Xiuhuang.
Because the Chu family was an aristocratic family of schrs with several generations involved in literary and artistic work, only Chu Xiuhuang was a rebellious heir who ventured into the business world.
He spent his days indulging in nightlife, drinking, racing, and ying with women. It is said that almost allpany matters were delegated to this female secretary to handle and manage.
It was rumored that the sess of Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s investmentpany wasrgely credited to this powerful woman behind the scenes.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but take a few extra nces at her.
But this Secretary Shi was dressed in a conservative ck professional suit, her long ck hair covered most of her cheeks, and she was wearing huge ck wide-framed sses.
In summary, she hid herself so well, her focus never straying from the road as she drove, her facial expressions remained neutral¡ you couldn¡¯t discern her specific appearance.
Finally arriving at the hospital, Mo Weiyi quickly opened the car door and got out, ¡°Goodbye.¡±
Never to meet again!
A figure in a light yellow outfit limped towards the hospital, Chu Xiuhuang gazed at her out of the corner of his eyes for quite some time, until¡
¡°Young Master Chu, can we go now?¡± The crisp and clean voice of the woman broke the silence.
¡°No.¡± Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t even turn his head, ¡°I¡¯m not done watching.¡±
**
It wasn¡¯t until Mo Weiyi got out of the car that she realized she had twisted her ankle.
Limping to the ward, she opened the door, and saw Xiao Zhiwei, who was leaning on the head of the bed.
She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown. The morning suning in from the window fell on her, entuating her cold, indifferent eyes and frail figure.
Her hair was a bit longer than four years ago, but it was still only shoulder length, ck and rigid, without any styling.
Her disposition was somewhat simr to Xiao Yebai¡¯s, both were usually expressionless and cold.
But their looks were worlds apart.
From Mo Weiyi¡¯s discerning point of view, Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s features were very ordinary.
Whether taken apart or put together, at most, they could only be considered delicate, whichpletely shed with her superior green tea bitch attitude.
After all, shouldn¡¯t the face of a green tea bitch match the look of a viral selfie-taking snake?
¡°Princess, you look really pretty today.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei was also observing Mo Weiyi. Although she spoke words of praise, her tone was obviously mocking.
Mo Weiyi curled her red lips andughed.
Herughter was bright and sweet.
¡°Thank you. I am this beautiful every day. It¡¯s probably because you haven¡¯t seen me for four years, so you¡¯re momentarily dazzled. I canpletely understand your feelings.¡±
These words instantly stiffened Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s face, making her look unsightly.
She truly despised Mo Weiyi¡¯s way of speaking.
It¡¯s always so high and mighty, from confident to bloated, from proud to arrogant.
Did she really think of herself as a princess?
¡°I heard that you¡¯re not feeling well?¡± Walking in her elegant high heels, ignoring the pain in her ankle, Mo Weiyi walked over with style, ¡°You got sick as soon as you returned to the country, that¡¯s quite a coincidence, isn¡¯t it?¡±

Looking at Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s pale face, she curled her red lips and continued to smile, ¡°My father kindly sent you to study in Canada, he paid for you to attend the best school and arranged the mostfortable amodation. But you, instead of studying, you messed around with men? Got cheated by a married man? Now that you have nowhere to go, youe back to Xiaobai? To have him clean up your mess? Huh, I noticed your skin has thickened more than it was four years ago.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei let out a cold snicker, ¡°Can I take that as, because my brother took care of me at the hospital all nightst night, Princess is losing her temper on me because she is jealous?¡±
Mo Weiyi stopped smiling, her fingers clenched tight.
When she thought about what happenedst night, she couldn¡¯t bring herself tough.
¡°Haven¡¯t you two been married for two years already? Why does our dear Princess have such a meager feeling of security? Are you so wary even of me, your own sister-inw? Do you distrust my brother that much? Or do youck confidence in your own charm?¡±
The more Xiao Zhiwei said, the more triumphant herughter became, her words were clearly provocative and mocking, ¡°After all, you were the one who willingly climbed into my brother¡¯s bed and seduced him. Did you think my brother would marry you, given his personality? You intentionally offered your virginity, then let our father force my brother to take responsibility for you.
Princess, you really dare to do anything for a man. But my brother doesn¡¯t even like you, all he feels for you is¡¡±
She caught sight of someoneing in out of the corner of her eye.
She immediately stopped talking.
But Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, she raised her hand and pped Xiao Zhiwei.
Xiao Zhiwei didn¡¯t dodge.
After a crisp p, she screamed and turned her face away.
At the same time, there was a hurried flurry of footsteps inside the hospital room.
Immediately after, an authoritative voice chided her, ¡°Weiyi, what are you doing?¡±
It was the voice of Mo Yaoxiong.
Mo Weiyi turned around, ignoring her father to look at the handsome and indifferent man behind her.
Xiao Yebai was dressed just as he was yesterday, no different from his usual meticulously neat attire, except for his clothes which were now somewhat wrinkled, and there was arge bloodstain at the hem of his white shirt.
Ignoring the pain in her foot, Mo Weiyi walked over to him, ¡°Xiaobai, are you hurt?¡±
As she carefully inspected his wound, he took a step back just before she could touch him.
It was a slight movement.
But it was enough to hurt Mo Weiyi¡¯s feelings.
She looked up and saw the man¡¯s cold facial contours, his eyes somewhat darkened due to the reflection on his sses, coupled with his emotionless face¡
Mo Weiyi pouted.
Was he ming her for hitting Xiao Zhiwei just now?
¡°Don¡¯t dirty your hands,¡± said Xiao Yebai.
Mo Weiyi felt a sudden rush of joy, ¡°What are you talking about, I will never consider you dirty.¡±
Having said that, she reached out to inspect his shirt and found that it was all bloodstained, which made her feel relieved.
On the other side, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s injured face and demanded, ¡°Weiyi, what is going on? Why couldn¡¯t you discuss this calmly and resorted to violence?¡±
Mo Weiyi turned around angrily, using, ¡°She started it! She was the one who talked dirty!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you know Xiao Zhiwei just had an abortion?¡±
Mo Weiyi was shocked.
An abortion?
But she quickly responded, ¡°It wasn¡¯t my fault she had an abortion, why is she taking her anger out on me?¡±
¡°What kind of attitude is that?¡± Mo Yaoxiong rarely lost his temper with his daughter.
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t reply, she just twirled her hair with her fingers to vent her frustration.
¡°Uncle Mo, please don¡¯t me Princess,¡± Xiao Zhiwei said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s normal for her to be upset since my brother spent the entire night here with me.¡±
Mo Weiyi gave a dismissive nce at the woman in the medical bed, thinking to herself, good, you know.
But what she heard next¡
¡°It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve been pped by Princess, Uncle Mo, why do you overreact as if it¡¯s the first time you¡¯re seeing this.¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t stand her tone, which hinted at many unspeakable things, and warned with a straight-faced, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei, be respectful when you talk to my father!¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Mo Yaoxiong rebuked.
Mo Weiyi looked at her father, her eyes welling up with tears, and then she immediately turned to look out of the window.
The hospital room turned quiet for a while.
Then Xiao Yebai¡¯s cold voice broke the silence, ¡°It was my mistakest night, I lost my phone suddenly and couldn¡¯t call Weiyi.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s face eased a bit, leaning slightly, he said, ¡°Weiyi,e outside with me.¡±
Suppressing her tears, Mo Weiyi limped away.
**
In the corridor.
¡°When Xiao Zhiwei got homest night, she said she didn¡¯t feel well. It was Yebai who took her to the hospital for surgery. After the surgery, Xiao Zhiwei suddenly had a significant hemorrhage, so Yebai stayed with her here. They didn¡¯t tell you about it, probably to protect Xiao Zhiwei, because¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, ¡°She might never be able to have children again.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s heart sank.
Xiao Zhiwei¡
She will never be able to have children again?
¡°She¡¯s not in a good mood, so be more patient with her. Her parents don¡¯t know about it, and in Nancheng, Yebai is her only rtive. Since you and Yebai are husband and wife, you two are family from now on.. You can¡¯t be as wilful and unreasonable as before, do you understand?¡±

Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips, ¡°What should I do if she always deliberately provokes me? I can¡¯t help it.¡±
She thought she had a very good temperament, but Xiao Zhiwei always had the ability to instantly touch her wound, she had just lost control¡
¡°Weiyi, you¡¯re twenty years old this year, you¡¯re an adult, you¡¯re not a child, you should learn how to control your emotions. If you want to continue with Yebai, you can¡¯t do things without considering his feelings. Do you understand?¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s words had a deeper meaning, ¡°Anyway, she will be staying in the hospital for a while. Once she¡¯s fully recovered, I will arrange for her to leave Nancheng. If you really don¡¯t want to see her, you don¡¯t have to visit the hospital during this time to avoid more conflicts.¡±
Mo Weiyi could only nod her head.

In the hospital ward.
Xiao Yebai looked at the woman on the bed, and spoke coldly, ¡°What did I tell
you before?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei bit her lips, her eyes full of unwillingness, ¡°Brother, you just saw
it, she hit me!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve told you before, I don¡¯t like anyone interfering in my rtionship with
her, even if you¡¯re my sister.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei almost bit through her lips, ¡°But did I say something wrong? She relies on the fact that she is the heiress of the Mo family, she wants to have anything she likes. If she hadn¡¯t deliberately seduced you into bed that year, you wouldn¡¯t have married her and agreed to stay in the Mo family. Now everyone in Nancheng looks down on you. They all say behind your back that you¡¯re the Mo family¡¯s son-inw and that you¡¯re a freeloader¡
The next words were swallowed back in fear.
Xiao Yebai stood there, his hands in his suit pockets, his lips tightly closed, and his profile cold. The pair of eyes behind the sses were unnaturally ruthless and terrifying.
Like a frozen de.
Extremely sharp.
Xiao Zhiwei dared not speak.
The ward fell into a deadly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the man¡¯s fierceness slowly faded away.
¡°I don¡¯t want to say any more unnecessary words.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was low and indifferent, without any ups or downs, ¡°In the future, if you cross the line, I won¡¯t interfere in anything in your life, even if your aunt and uncle have given me years of nurturing.
He paused, his thin lips raised a trace of extreme mockery, ¡°However, Mo Yaoxiong has already given your Xiao family five million, hasn¡¯t he?¡± Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s clenched her hands tightly, her pale face was extremely embarrassed and awkward.
Yes.
Years ago, Mo Yaoxiong took Xiao Yebai away from his aunt¡¯s and uncle¡¯s house where he had been fostered after his parents died for just 5 million.
Even though Xiao Yebai was already fifteen at the time, how was this different from selling a child for money?
The ones who were the least qualified to interfere in his life were these so-called aunts and uncles from the Xiao family.

After Mo Yaoxiong left, when Mo Weiyi returned to the ward, Xiao Yebai was sitting on the sofa peeling fruit.
The sunlight shone in from the window, casting a light golden glow on his body. His usually cold face seemed somewhat warm.
He slightly lowered his head, a side view of his handsome face, focused eyes, slender and pale fingers.
This man, even peeling a fruit looks so good.
Mo Weiyi immediately sat down next to him, her voice soft, ¡°Xiaobai, can I help you peel it?¡±
¡°No need.¡± The man¡¯s voice was deep, ¡°It will be done soon.
Just as Mo Weiyi was about to speak, a cold voice rang out¡
¡°I can¡¯t afford to eat the apple that Princess has peeled.¡±
It¡¯s Xiao Zhiwei again!
Mo Weiyi felt her good mood disappear in an instant.
This bitch!
Why is she always so annoying!
Thinking of Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s words, she forcibly held back her anger. But it was too ufortable not to vent her anger!
So she intentionally leaned on Xiao Yebai¡¯s arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and cooed in a soft voice, ¡°Xiaobai, I received the gift you sent me yesterday, I really like it. Can you help me name themter?¡± ¡°OK.¡± Xiao Yebai replied, as he ced the peeled apple into the fruit bowl, ¡°I¡¯ll go to thepanyter. I¡¯ll have Lao Liu send you home.¡± ¡°Hmm, I always listen to Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi sweetly replied, then lifted her eyes.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s face looked like she had been publicly pped, extremely ugly.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, feeling delighted.
When Xiao Yebai got up and went to the kitchte, she immediately followed
him and closed the door.
Humph!
Take that!
She locked the door, ran to him from behind, embracing him, her face resting against his back,ining in a possum-like manner, ¡°Xiaobai, I waited for you all nightst night. I had prepared a room full of surprises, but you didn¡¯t even see them. And when I came here just now, someone bumped into me and I sprained my ankle. It hurts so much.¡±
The man paused in his fruit washing.
Then, he dried his fingers, turned around and asked, ¡°Which foot did you sprain?¡±
Mo Weiyi nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, ¡°I sprained my right foot, it hurts so much.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡±
¡°No need.¡± Mo Weiyi held his hand, her eyes curving into a smile, ¡°I don¡¯t need
a doctor.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at the delicate face in front of him, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s smile became even sweeter. In a soft voice, she said, ¡°I want you tofort me. I want kisses, hugs, and to be picked up by Xiaobai..¡±
Xiao Yebai:
¡°Quick, your sister is going to call for you soon. Fast, fast.¡± Having said that, Mo Weiyi opened her arms for a hug.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Two secondster, he picked her up like a child and ced her on the clean washbasin nearby.
The two stared at each other, eyes interlocked.
This height, is suitable for certain actions.
The tall and handsome man was just about to bend over when Mo Weiyi grabbed his shirt.
His cool yet pleasant scent mixed with a faint hint of tobo smell.
At that moment, all her displeasure vanished. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes. Right now, all she could think about was Xiao Yebai, the man she madly loved.
¡°Brother?¡±
¡°Brother, can youe and help me?¡±
¡°Brother¡¡±
At this moment, someone¡¯s annoying voice came in persistently through the
door.
Mo Weiyi:
That damned woman!
Suddenly, her chin was pinched.
Mo Weiyi was slightly startled at first, then she immediately closed her eyes.
She did not know how much time had passed.
¡°Xiaobai ¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness,
¡°Have you been pacified yet?¡±
Mo Weiyi nodded her head, her face filled with a radiant smile. She looked like a sunflower blooming in summer, ¡°Xiaobai has pacified me, I am not angry anymore.¡±
Xiao Yebai made a ¡®Hmm¡¯ sound. He let go of her hand and reached for the fruit.
As he turned around, his face had regained the usual calm andposed appearance. Where was the passionate look from just a moment ago?
What a gentlemanly scoundrel!
Mo Weiyi muttered in her heart.
She sat there, waited for her face to cool down before slowly jumping down from wash basin. She opened the door and left.

Tianquan Royal Court.
Su Wanwan was sleeping soundly until she was woken up by a phone call.
She opened her eyes to find herself lying in someone¡¯s arms.
What the heck!
Su Wanwan¡¯s face instantly flushed. She remembered that she fell asleep in the car the night before. She vaguely remembered being carried into the shower, then being treated with medicine.
Since she was hurt on the back, the application of medicine was mingled with a massage. It felt sofortable that she dozed off on the spot.
Amazing, this guy took advantage of her!
Taking advantage of someone¡¯s predicament!
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, wrapped herself in a thin nket, and reached for the phone.
She checked the time on her way. It was only 7:40 in the morning?
She answered the call, ¡°Mo Xiaose, have you gone mad, calling me so early in the morning¡.¡±
¡°Wanwan, I¡¯m so pitiful, so miserable.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s cry came through the phone. ¡°What happened to you?¡± Su Wanwan quickly asked.
¡°I sprained my ankle, the doctor says I need to rest at home for a week. I can¡¯t go to the school opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, So you have to go with your Huo Boss.¡±
¡°Is that all?¡± Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Was it necessary to call me this early?¡±
¡°Eh, I didn¡¯t notice. I woke up too early today.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t give it much thought, and glossed over it with a few words before hanging up.
Just after putting down the phone.
¡°Ahhh!¡± Su Wanwan screamed in fright.
¡°You ungrateful brat.¡±
Huo Jingshen embraced her.
His deep voice, also carried a unique huskiness and maism when he woke
up.
The droopy ck hair made his face look extraordinarily charming.
¡°Why are you screaming? You used me all night, and now you want to run away?¡±
¡°What¡ what are you talking about?¡± Su Wanwan stuttered nervously..
Chapter 112 - 112:112, Perfect Husband
Chapter 112:112, Perfect Husband
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Who was Sleeping like a little pigst night? Tossing and turning from one end of my arms to the other, nuzzling all over¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re full of shit!¡±
How could she be like that!
Seeing her blushing face filled with indignation, Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t hold back hisughter. ¡°You were cold, you kept snuggling into me. Your poor husband¡¯s arms were numbed by your weight, and now you woke up and don¡¯t want to admit it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s summer right now, cold my ass!¡± Su Wanwan was toozy to argue with him and reached out to push him away. ¡°You¡¯re so heavy it¡¯s killing me. Get up I need to get up.¡±
-Why so rushed?¡± The man¡¯s voice suddenly grew deeper. ¡°I checked when I helped you bathst night. Four days should have passed, right?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±? ¡±
She froze for a second, suddenly understanding what he was referring to.
Holy crap. Was he actually keeping track of her menstrual cycle every day? Getting the chills, Su Wanwan raised both hands ready to hit him: ¡°You shameless jerk, you¡ you¡ You¡¯re a freaking pervert!¡±
Huo Jingshen just scoffed, easily subduing her. ¡°As a husband, I care for you pamper you, protect you in front of others, cook tasty meals for you in private, and even remember your menstrual cycle. Your perfect husband is a pervert?¡± ¡¯ With that said, he stopped talking.
He only meant to tease her, but now.
After doing some calctions, the two have been married for a month now, but they¡¯ve only really been together once.
Which is simply uneptable for a married and sexually mature male.
Seeing her shivering in fear, Huo Jingshen¡¯s heart softened.
He realized he may have left a bad impression on herst time and caused some psychological trauma.
So he lowered his voice, gently coaxing, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. This time, it won¡¯t be like before¡¡±
¡°Bullshit!¡± Su Wanwan blurted out, interrupting him. ¡°You¡¯re so useless, you made me suffer for three full days!¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s face froze.
Not a trace of softness remained, and his handsome face turned as ck as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing his reaction, Su Wanwan cowered and quickly said, ¡°I really need to get up. I promised to be at the driving school at ten oclock.¡±
As expected, this seemed to distract Huo Jingshen. ¡°Driving school?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes,¡± Su Wanwan quickly nodded.
¡°With that skinny four-eyed nerd?¡±
She was pissed, ¡°Can¡¯t you show some respect for my instructor?¡±
So what if Pan Hui is skinny and wears sses? Was there a need for such personal attacks?
Such pettiness.
¡°You consider him your instructor, but he¡¯s considering you as a side girl.¡± ¡°What rubbish are you spouting now?¡± Su Wanwan was annoyed with what he said.
What if Pan Hui did have some thoughts about her in that way?
He was always serious and professional when he taught her driving, never had he overstepped his boundaries.
Seeing his eyes suddenly narrow and his face getting darker, the little spark of rebelliousness in Su Wanwan immediately vanished. She hurriedly exined ¡°I really have a lesson at ten, it takes an hour and a half to get there. We¡¯re running out of time.¡±
Huo Jingshen remained unmoving.
Su Wanwan had no choice but to y herst card. ¡°If you really want to do it how about waiting until I finish my driving lessons in the next two days then we¡¡±
Then 111 just go live in the school dormitory where you can¡¯t get me haha!
Of course, she didn¡¯t dare to actually say thest sentence.
With an unreadable expression on his face, Huo Jingshen remained silent, seemingly scrutinizing the sincerity of her words, or perhaps contemting something else.
Su Wanwan blinked her beautiful eyes innocently. ¡°If you hurt me, I won¡¯t be able to go to ss, and school starts the day after tomorrow.¡±
Eventually, Huo Jingshen let her go. ¡°There¡¯s plenty of times, won¡¯t mess with you today.¡±
Su Wanwan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
She finally got away for the moment.
The next second.
¡°In two days¡¯ time, you¡¯ll be the one initiating it,¡± Huo Jingshen finished, then added cheekily, ¡°Remember to remind me.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±? ¡±
Initiate my ass!
Remind?
Remind my foot.

At ro AM, Su Wanwan rode the shuttle bus across half of Nancheng and finally arrived at the driving school located in the suburbs.
But, she had been waiting at the usual spot for almost ro minutes and Pan Hui was still nowhere in sight.
¡°Are you Su Wanwan?¡± An unfamiliar voice asked.
As Su Wanwan turned around, She saw a driving school staff member approaching with a middle-ageddy who was dressed neatly and wearing the unified uniform of the driving school.
¡°This is your new instructor, Ms. Zhou.¡±
Su Wanwan was surprised, ¡°Where is Pan Hui?¡±
¡°Pan Hui has been assigned to the night shift.¡±
¡°¡What?¡±
After Su Wanwan got into her driving school car and left, the staff member quickly moved to the side, picked up his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Hello Mr. Ji¡¯s assistant.¡±
¡°Yes, Pan Hui has been transferred, I¡¯ve swapped him with the only female instructor in the driving school to be Miss Su¡¯s instructor, she¡¯s in her lesson right now.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee, you¡¯re wee..¡¯
Chapter 113 - 113:113, Little Junior Sister!
Chapter 113:113, Little Junior Sister!
Trantor: 549690339
Because she wanted to get her driver¡¯s license as soon as possible, Su Wanwan scheduled her lessons for the next two days to be very full.
From 10 a.m. to 1130 a.m. in the morning, and then rest, have a meal, and start sses from 1 p.m. in the afternoon.
The weather at the end of August is still very hot.
Especially between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., the sun shines brightly on the earth. Even though there is air conditioning in the car, Su Wanwan was starting to feel the heat.
During a break, she went to the cafe, ordered arge iced milk tea, and had just sat down to take a sip when two girls at the next table suddenly started chatting excitedly:
¡°Wow, look, who¡¯s that handsome guy?¡±
¡°Is he some kind of big star?¡±
¡°Silver hair, wow, is he Wu Yifan?¡±
Wu Yifan¡¯s hair has been dyed ck long ago!¡±
¡°Then who is he? He¡¯s so handsome, oh my gosh¡¡±
¡°Wow, he looked over here, ah I am going to die¡¡±
Fan girls in driving school?
Listening to all this made Su Wanwan roll her eyes, but out of curiosity, she also lifted her eyes to look.
She saw a young man standing at the entrance of the cafe. He was quite tall and dressed stylishly.
He was wearing ripped skinny jeans and a white tank top, showing off his muscr arms, with short silver hair and matching sunsses.
Something about him felt familiar?
Before she could take a closer look, the man had already walked in, heading straight for her table.
¡°Little sister!¡±
¡°Puff!¡±
Hearing that voice, Su Wanwan almost sprayed out the milk tea she had just sipped.
Ye Qitian had already approached, removing his sunsses to reveal a face that was even more delicate than a woman¡¯s.
He had nted eyebrows, star-like eyes, and silver hair, making him look like the perfect reincarnation of a manga male protagonist.
Indeed, he resembled Wu Yifan somewhat, causing the two girls at the next table to whisper excitedly.
¡°Little sister.¡± Ye Qitian looked touched, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so excited to see me. Alright, I forgive you for not answering my calls yesterday.¡±
Su Wanwan regained her breath, looked up at him, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
¡°I specially flew from Los Angeles to find you.¡± Ye Qitian held her small hand ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go for a drive!¡±
¡°No!¡± Su Wanwan pulled her hand away, ¡°I have driving lessons.¡±
¡°What lessons?¡±
¡°Road test, subject three.¡±
Ye Qitian stared at her, then, ¡°Puhahaha!¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°Stop pretending hahaha, the only female contestant who has ced in the top three in two consecutive off-road races hahaha, she¡¯s going to study subject three hahaha, why don¡¯t you just say Kobe¡¯s going to study three-stepyups hahaha!¡±
¡°I need to get my driver¡¯s license!¡± Seeing him stillughing like a fool, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t resist pping him on the forehead, ¡°Stop freakingughing!¡±
Ye Qitian held his forehead, grimacing with pain, ¡°Little sister, besides my mother, you¡¯re the only woman in the world who dares to hit me.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t have such a showy son like you.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take that as apliment for my handsomeness.¡± Ye Qitian let her hand go and looked at her with affectionate eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I, Ye Qitian, am around, no one in Nancheng will dare to bully you!¡±
¡°Are you going to stay in Nancheng?¡± Su Wanwan was surprised, ¡°Didn¡¯t your family immigrate to Los Angeles?¡±
Ye Qitian shook his head, ¡°For you, I¡¯ve decided to stay in Nancheng. I signed a contract with a talent agency at noon, and I¡¯m about to start shooting a blockbuster web movie!¡±
¡°You¡¯re getting into the entertainment industry?¡± Su Wanwan was taken aback again.
¡°Little sister, I know you¡¯re worried that I¡¯m too naive and might be corrupted by the entertainment industry. True, I went to audition this morning and a loaded woman has already added me on WeChat, even saying she wants to support me.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched.
Which blind rich woman was this?
Was she so desperate?
Could she not see he was not her type?
¡°But how could a wolf like me with the charm of a male dog be willing to serve such an old, fat woman for just a few million?¡± Ye Qitian continued to look at Su Wanwan with affection, ¡°But if you need it, little sister, I can demand nothing and give you my¡¡±
¡°Ahem, ahem.¡± Su Wanwan quickly stood up, ¡°I have to go for my lesson.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±
¡°The driving school is closed off. You can¡¯t get in.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±
After knowing him for two years, Su Wanwan knew he was stubborn and independent, so she simply ignored him, ¡°Suit yourself.¡±
He¡¯ll probably get bored in five minutes.
Sure enough, by the time Su Wanwan finished her lesson, she found a message sent by Ye Qitian more than an hour ago.
¡°Little sister, this is my number in Nancheng. I had to leave because something urgent came up. I¡¯lle to see you for a date tomorrow. Mwah!¡±
Su Wanwan saved the number and took the shuttle bus home.
She was so tired on the way home that she almost fell asleep.
When she finally arrived in the city center, Su Wanwan had to get off and transfer to a bus.
It was probably a bitte, so Huo Jingshen sent a message, ¡°Baby, are you home yet?¡±
Su Wanwan replied, ¡°I still have five more bus stops to go.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you take a taxi?¡±
¡°No money.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
A secondter, he sent a red envelope through WeChat.
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart leaped with joy, but when she opened it¡
Oh my gosh!
131.4 (yuan)?
For crying out loud, a CEO of a listedpany sends such a small red envelope to his wife?
What a miser!
She angrily sent a ¡°disobedient son¡± emoji back to him.
Still not feeling any better, she sent another ¡±1 want to kill you.¡±
Just as she was about to send a ¡°I¡¯ll kill you, you turtle son,¡± Huo Jingshen replied with a default WeChat ¡°smiling¡± emoji.
Looking at that emoji, Su Wanwan seemed to see a man looking at her with a sinister grin¡
She lost her courage, quickly deleted thest emoji, and reced it with a ¡°kneeling in gratitude.¡±
That should do it, right?
*

GD Clubhouse.
In the private room, Huo Jingshen let out a low chuckle, looking at the emojis that came through his phone.
Chu Xiuhuang sat opposite him, hopeless in protesting, ¡°Older brother, can you notugh in such a lewd way?¡±
Huo Jingshen flicked an eyelid up, a nce that shot directly at him.
¡°Yeah, big brother, how long has it been since youst drank with us? The previous gathering, you didn¡¯t evenst a few minutes and left with our little sister-inw, this time you¡¯re upied with WeChat?¡± Nangong Ci also began toin.
¡°He¡¯s checking the WeChat messages sent by sister-inw.¡± Lu Chenyu added word by word.
Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, ¡°I told you, you can¡¯t marry a young wife; she¡¯s high maintenance, gives you nonstop worries. She¡¯ll start a dyeing workshop just by giving her some colors, she¡¯s pretentious and you constantly have to coax her, this is simply asking for trouble!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind if you find a sixty-year-old younger sister.¡± Huo Jingshen said coldly.
He choked!
Nangong Ci couldn¡¯t help but grin.
¡°Have you eaten gunpowder?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face turned dark, ¡°Did the young girl not let you in the house, causing you to vent your frustrations on us?¡±
Huo Jingshen said nothing, picked up the red wine in front of him and downed it.
¡°Damn, did I hit the nail on the head?¡± Chu Xiuhuang instantly perked up his eyebrows raised high, and his phoenix eyes sparkled with excitement.
¡°So today he came to drink with us.¡± Lu Chenyu supplemented.
¡°Although fourth brother doesn¡¯t speak much, he certainly deserves being a topwyer, each word hitting the bull¡¯s eye.¡± As Nangong Ci spoke, he patted Lu Chenyu on the shoulder, but who knew¡
¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡±
Nangong Ci quickly retracted his hand, ¡°Damn, you behave as if I want to touch you.¡±
Lu Chenyu said nothing.
Looking at his high cool temperament, resembling a high monk in meditation, Nangong Ci couldn¡¯t help but lean over again, ¡°What¡¯s the saying? Nine of the ¡¯ tenwyers are gay, and thest one is deeply closeted. Fourth brother, I¡¯ve never seen any woman around you, but instead you follow second brother¡¯s ass all day, could it be¡ you have some thoughts for second brother?¡±
Scram!¡± Chu Xiuhuang spat,ughing instead of being angry.
Lu Chenyu seriously responded, ¡°Second brother is too flirtatious, I¡¯m afraid of getting infected.¡±
¡°Damn!¡± Chu Xiuhuang was truly angry now, ¡°Fourth brother, you deliberately cursing me?¡±????????????????????????????????????????????? y
Lu Chenyu looked at him, ¡°Careful drivers drive forever.¡±
¡°Hahahaha ¡± Nangong Ci had already copsed inughter on the sofa.
During the conversational teasing, Huo Jingshen had already finished a whole bottle of red wine by himself.
So, when Su Wanwan finished her shower and was about to go to bed at around 10 o¡¯clock, she suddenly got a call from an unknown number.
¡°Sister-inw, it¡¯s me.¡± Nangong Ci called with ease, ¡°Big brother is drunk, asking you to pick him up and take him home.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°Sister-inw? Sister-inw? Little sister-inw?¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, finally responding, ¡°You could just send him home couldn¡¯t you?¡±??????????????????????????????? ¡¯
¡°I¡¯ve also been drinking.¡±
Then you should find a designated driver.¡±
¡°Designated drivers aren¡¯t safe these days, furthermore, big brother doesn¡¯t look bad, we boys must be cautious about protecting ourselves.¡±
Su Wanwan shivered all over, only able to say, ¡°I don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license and can¡¯t afford a taxi.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have money?¡± Nangong Ci¡¯s volume soared, then seemed to mumble to himself, ¡°Big brother is really outrageous, how can he not give you pocket money? No wonder little sister-inw doesn¡¯t let him in the house, so that¡¯s why he¡¯s here drowning his sorrows in alcohol.¡±
¡°What gibberish are you saying?¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t hear thest part of his sentence very clearly.
¡°Nothing, hehe.¡± Nangong Ciughed and changed the topic, ¡°Let¡¯s do this I¡¯ll have my driver pick you up, see you, little sister-inw.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan suddenly realized something.
Damn, why not just let the driver take Huo Jingshen home directly?
They have to pick her up and then go to get Huo Jingshen?
This is superfluous!
*
*
By the time Nangong¡¯s family¡¯s driver came over and took Su Wanwan to the GD Clubhouse, it was already past eleven o¡¯clock at night.
However, there were peopleing and going in the clubhouse, with extravagant lights and drunken dreams.
For many city dwellers, the nightlife was just beginning.
Back to the private room called ¡°Fire Emperor¡±.
Now Su Wanwan finally understood that ¡°Fire¡± and ¡°Emperor¡±bined together meaning ¡°shining¡±.
This was Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s exclusive private room, only for entertaining his own friends.
As Su Wanwan pushed the door open, she smelled a strong smoke and alcohol. The room was filled with smoke, the light was dim, looking like a fairnd with burning incense.
¡°You¡¯re finally here, little sister-inw.¡± Nangong Ci weed her.
Su Wanwan walked in holding her nose, disgusted by the smell. When she got closer, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting on the sofa, eyes closed, head resting back, and she wasn¡¯t sure if he was genuinely drunk or just resting.
Beside him, Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang were both smoking, particrly Chu Xiuhuang, squinting his phoenix eyes, corners of his mouth slightly raised, he looked viinous from any angle.
Su Wanwan approached and nudged the man, ¡°Hey! Wake up!¡±
Huo Jingshen opened his eyes.
His dark eyes stared at her, their depth entuated by his double eyelids.
Then, he reached out a hand to grab hers and spoke in a low voice, ¡°Baby you¡¯re here.¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Nangong Ci burst intoughter behind her.
Su Wanwan¡¯s cheeks instantly turned red.
Forget about Nangong Ci, even as a woman, she found the word ¡°baby¡± quite cringe-worthy!
Sounding quite annoyed, she confronted him, ¡°Are you annoying or not? I still have to get up early tomorrow, it¡¯s past eleven o¡¯clock, get up and go home with me!¡±
Huo Jingshen, surprisingly, didn¡¯t lose his temper. Leaning on her hand, he stood up from the sofa.
However, very quickly, he wrapped his arms around her, his hundred-plus-pound weight almost fully relying on her shoulder, ¡°Baby, why are you here sote?¡±
Su Wanwan was exasperated, she furrowed her brows, attempting to walk him out the door, but then¡
¡°I¡¯m asking you a question, aren¡¯t you going to answer? If you don¡¯t, your husband will have to punish you by copying homework.¡±
Listening to the suppressedughter of the three behind her, Su Wanwan was both ashamed and furious, ¡°Are you pretending to be drunk?¡±
¡°Baby, don¡¯t use uncivilizednguage, no foul words.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s face uncontrobly turned red again, she could only softly caution him, ¡°Well, then you mustn¡¯t speak either! Shut up, do you hear me?¡± ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t talk.¡± Huo Jingshen agreed..

Chapter 114:114, Drunken Boss Huo
Trantor: 549690339
And the three people standing by were watching everything with a carefree expression¡
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Forget it.
I¡¯ll y the ostrich for now.
¡°If you don¡¯t behave, hubby will punish you like this.¡±
Damn it!
Su Wanwan felt like punching someone.
He was already a bad person, but now he had shown his true colors after getting drunk.
¡°Are you going home or not!¡± She almost screamed.
¡°Baby, help me.¡± Huo Jingshen spoke arrogantly, ordering around like a lord.
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.
She thought she¡¯d save him some face in public, and would deal with him when they got home.
She reluctantly helped him to his feet and walked out of the box.
Nangong Ci quickly followed and handed Huo Jingshen¡¯s cell phone and car keys to her, saying, ¡°Sister-inw, here¡¯s big brother¡¯s cell phone and car keys.¡±
Su Wanwan took the things and carelessly stuffed them in her pocket.
However, suddenly a waitress walked by and her tray crashed into Wanwan.
¡°Ah!!!¡±
A scream echoed with the shattering of ssware.
¡°Sister-inw, are you okay?¡±
Nangong Ci rushed over.
Behind him, Chu Xiuhuang came forth after hearing themotion.
Seeing that the woman had bumped into the important guests of the private box, a nearby male supervisor started to chastise the waitress, ¡°What the hell were you doing? Are you blind? Apologize to the guests right now!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I wasn¡¯t paying attention, it¡¯s all my fault, I¡¯m sorry¡¡± the waitress kept apologizing profusely with her head down.
Su Wanwan checked quickly.
The waitress had been carrying sses from the neighboring box. There wasn¡¯t much liquid left, but now her t-shirt was damp, and Huo Jingshen¡¯s white shirt was stained with red wine.
But he was drunk and didn¡¯t react.
Fearing that he might continue causing a scene, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to make a fuss. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, we have to leave.¡±
After she finished speaking, she quickly dragged Huo Jingshen away.
Nangong Ci also left, ¡°Sister-inw, let me help you.¡±

In the dimly lit hallway,
Chu Xiuhuang seemed even more devilish in his embroidered ck shirt. ¡°Do you know who you just bumped into?¡±
The supervisor trembled, ¡°Boss, she¡¯s only been here for a few days¡¡±
¡°That means you didn¡¯t train her properly.¡± Chu Xiuhuang turned away, ¡°Get your pay and don¡¯te in tomorrow.¡±
The waitress stood there, her body shrinking in fear, not daring to move.
After Chu Xiuhuang disappeared into the distance, the supervisor pped the waitress, ¡°You fucking bitch, you made me lose my job, I¡¯m going to fucking kill you today!¡±
The club was used to such things. The waitress was pped repeatedly, all she could do was cry and not talk back.
It was only when other guests came by, the supervisor was pulled away by other waiters.
Before he left, he swore and threatened her.
¡°Xiaowei, are you okay?¡± Another waitress finally came over and moved her hair aside.
Bai Ruwei¡¯s face was full of tears, one side of her cheek was horribly swollen, and her mouth was broken with continuous blood flowing out.
¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re badly hurt! Your hand has also been cut! Why didn¡¯t you exin earlier?¡± The waitress was scared and asked, ¡°Should I take you to the hospital?¡±
¡°No need.¡± Bai Ruwei shook her head, tears fell uncontrobly.
Previously, she was mistreated as a maid in the Su family. She was maliciously framed by Su Yanyan for swapping dresses and hiding needles in them. She lost her job, and now she had no tuition fees.
Now she had finally found work at this club, only to lose her job again after just a few days, all because she had bumped into Su Wanwan and her husband. What was she going to do about her tuition and living expenses?
Why?
Why do the rich always bully the poor?
Why is this world so unfair?

On the other hand, with the help of Nangong Ci, Huo Jingshen was easily assisted into the car.
When they arrived at the Imperial Court, Nangong Ci and the driver together sent him to his room.
¡°Sister-inw, we¡¯ll leave big brother to you, we¡¯re leaving now.¡±
Su Wanwan sighed in relief. Once they left, she went back to the bedroom, looking at the drunkard who was snoringfortably on the bed, she was itching with anger.
¡°Baby.¡± The drunkard suddenly spoke.
Su Wanwan ignored him, went to find her sleepwear, and decided to sleep in the guest room that night.
¡°Baby.¡± Huo Jingshen called again, ¡°Help me take a bath.¡±
¡°Screw you!¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but swear aloud.
She was already exhausted dragging him out of the club earlier, where would she find the strength to drag him to the bathroom?
Doesn¡¯t he know he¡¯s as heavy as a pig?
Just as she wasining, her cell phone suddenly rang.
¡°Baby, help me answer the phone.¡± The pig started demanding again.
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, but the phone kept ringing, so she had no choice but to go over and pick up.
It showed a number from the United Kingdom.
Thinking it might be work-rted, Su Wanwan quickly answered it.
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡± An affected female voice came through from far away, ¡°I¡¯m on the same flight as Ziyang tomorrow. I¡¯ll send you the flight number after I board..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡± A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone, ¡°Tomorrow, Ziyang and I are on the same flight. I¡¯ll send you the flight number once we¡¯ve boarded.¡±
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±
There was silence on the line.
¡°Hello? Why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡±
Instead of a reply, the call was abruptly hung up.
Su Wanwan put down her phone, her eyes darting towards the drunken man. She couldn¡¯t help but start to suspect.
Calling him Brother Jingshen?
Such intimacy, could it be this old man¡¯s old me?
Oh dear, is the old me nning to visit him?
As if he could read her mind, the man suddenly started acting bossy again, ¡°Baby, help me take a shower.¡±
A shower?
So he wants a shower, doesn¡¯t he?
Su Wanwan suddenlyughed mischievously.
She walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap.
A whileter, she came out with a basin full of cold water and without a word, she sshed it on the man.
Huo Jingshen was meditating silently when, unexpectedly, he was drenched.
Just as Su Wanwan was feeling aplished, she suddenly noticed that the previously drunk man was now up with open eyes. Moreover, he had sat up.
His entire body along with the bed sheet was drenched. His shirt was soaked and even his pants were wet.
Despite not saying anything, his face was darkened. His thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line and his jawline tightened, making his face look cold and serious.
Especially those eyes.
They were dark, deep, with a storm raging inside, clearly a prelude to his anger¡
Oh dear, he¡¯s resurrected!
Su Wanwan was visibly shuddering.
The next second, she threw the basin aside, turned around and was about to run.
However, before she could even touch the doorknob, tworge hands seized her and she was lifted off the ground.
¡°Ah¡.ah¡¡± Su Wanwan instinctively screamed in fear.
Huo Jingshen kicked the door shut, turned around and tossed her onto the sofa.
He stood there with his eyes narrowed.
Water dripped down his dark hair, slid past his distinctive features and finally dripped from his chin.
His look¡
Gave off a vague sense of danger.
¡°Quite bold now.¡± The man¡¯s voice was low and oppressive, ¡°Not only did you neglect me when I was drunk, but you also doused me with cold water, huh?¡±
Su Wanwan was indeed furious, ¡°You¡ you were pretending to be drunk!¡±
Damn, had she known that he was not drunk, not in a hundred years would she dare to douse him with cold water.
She was acting out of anger just now.
¡°I was a bit drunk initially.¡± Huo Jingshen replied, his face instantly darkened, ¡°Speak, how do you think I should punish you?¡±
As he said this, he took off his tie and wrapped it around her wrists.
The sight¡
Su Wanwan was wide-eyed.
Sheenow backed down, unable to help but shout, ¡°What do you want?¡±
As expected, Huo Jingshen moved forward to hold her hand, with the tie circling her wrist.
Su Wanwan tried to reason with him, ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree to wait until the day after tomorrow, can¡¯t we wait until then?¡±
School starts the day after tomorrow and she can stay in the dormitory then.
Who knew¡
¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± Before she knew it, Huo Jingshen had already easily subdued her.
¡°I initially thought we had plenty of time to develop feelings for each other, but now I believe that ¡®familiarity breeds fondness¡¯ suits you better.¡± Huo Jingshen subtly teased.
The reason he let her go that morning was first, because it was a bit rushed and he didn¡¯t want to dy her ss. Having waited for a month, he didn¡¯t mind waiting for another two days.
Secondly, he considered the trauma she must have gone through during their first time. He wanted to wait till she was done with sses and let her willingly ept him.
Little did he know that this little girl would be so bold!
Just like what Chu Xiuhuang said, ¡®give her an inch, and she¡¯ll take a mile.¡¯
He even began to question if he had been too indulgent with her?

Su Wanwan:
One seemed to be surrendering and the other was condescending. In any case,
she was the weaker party.
She had no choice but to y herst card and act pitifully.
¡°But, I have ss tomorrow.¡±
Su Wanwan lowered her stance, hoping he would find his conscience. ¡°I was wrong, I just wanted to wake you up. But you¡¯re so heavy, how can I help you bathe? Right?¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle. ¡°Then let¡¯s let the darling choose
herself.¡±
¡°Choose what?¡± Su Wanwan quickly asked.
¡°Two options.¡± With a teasing smile curling at the corners of his lips, Huo
Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
¡°Your sister! I won¡¯t choose!¡±
Huo Jingshenughed ¡°So, you aren¡¯t choosing?¡±
With her eyes tightly shut, Su Wanwan practically snarled between clenched teeth. ¡°If you wanna hit, just hit! If you wanna curse, just curse! Do whatever you want!¡±
Being hurt and insulted at this age is¡ really humiliating.
¡°Alright.¡± Huo Jingshen agreed.
*
*
*
The next morning.
¡°Darling?¡±
¡°Darling, wake up.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you have a ss at 10 o¡¯clock?¡±
Su Wanwan finally opened her eyes.
She immediately saw a man in front of her, dressed in a white shirt and ck trousers, with clear brows and bright eyes. Even his thin lips disyed a slight smile. He looked refreshingly handsome.
She couldn¡¯t help but kick at him.
But instead of kicking him, she ended up wincing in pain, taking a while to
recover.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes filled with tears.
She was simply speechless with outrage.
She red at the culprit, only to hear¡
¡°Darling, from now on we¡¯ll go for a run together every day.
¡°You can go to hell!¡± Su Wanwan picked up a pillow and threw it at him. ¡°You
jerk!¡±
Huo Jingshen effortlessly caught the pillow.
He had already set up new bedding, sheets, andforter.
At this point, the dark-colored bedroom set contrasted sharply with her sitting in the middle. Her beautiful phoenix eyes held a mix of anger and sorrow, which were clear and pure as if they had no impurities.
In a gentle voice, Huo Jingshen said, ¡°You still have to go to ss today. Why aren¡¯t you getting up yet?¡±
Frustration smoke seemed to be billowing out of Su Wanwan s head.
Did he know how he treated her?
¡°Let me get your clothes for you.¡± Huo Jingshen grabbed a dress from the wardrobe. ¡°Wear this.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at it. It was a light-yellow dress she had bought with Mo
Weiyi.
Although it is pretty, it happens to be floor-length andes with a half-sleeved high-neck design.
She was nning to go to driving school today, thus she felt it wasn¡¯t very convenient?
¡°Cover yourself.¡±
After Huo Jingshen said that, Su Wanwan quickly lowered her head.
She threw the dress away angrily, turned around and went back to bed. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to ss!¡±
It was too frustrating!
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to go?
¡°No!¡±
¡°Very well.¡±
The next moment.
¡°Ah! Fine, I¡¯ll go. Will that make you happy?¡± Su Wanwan managed a brisk turnaround, draped the dress over her head.
¡°Good girl.¡±Huoved contentably rose to his feet, ¡°Go downstairs for breakfast after you freshen up.¡±
*
*
Ten minutester, Su Wanwan was ready to go, carrying her small bag downstairs.
She could smell the appetizing aroma from afar.
A hearty breakfast was alreadyid out on the table-glittering millet porridge, beautiful fried eggs, honey-coated sausages and crispy, golden brown fried dumplings.
As she ate, Su Wanwan cursed herself. After being bullied by him like that, how is she tolerating his delicious breakfast?
¡°Eat slowly, nobody¡¯s fighting you for it. Watch out for your manners.
Maybe it¡¯s because she was eating in such a crude manner that a certain gentleman couldn¡¯t help but give her some advice.
Su Wanwan was furious. She deliberately picked up a sausage and bit it off with a wide ¡°Ow¡±. She continued to chew in front of him, determined to annoy him. Huo Jingshen coughed lightly, ¡°You can have the other sausage as well.¡±
He had grilled two sausages in total.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t suspect him. Seeing that he didn¡¯t eat, she decisively grabbed the other sausage from the te and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, she began to grumble, ¡°I have no money to spend.
Huo Jingshen looked at her, coughed up lightly, and inquired in a deep voice, ¡°How much?¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t expect him to agree so casually and immediately said, ¡°You decide.¡±
It would be best to give her a subsidiary credit card, just like Xiao Yebai gave to Mo Weiyi, which would allow her to swipe her card in the future and live a freewheeling life of a rich and morous white woman.
Who knew? Huo Jingshen took out his phone without hesitation, typed a fewmands with his long fingers. ¡°Done.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly took out her small smartphone. Indeed, he had sent a fund transfer message, she tapped to check the amount.
¡°Damn, why is it only 2000 yuan!¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but shriek.
What happened to the promise of giving a card for free-spending life as a rich and powerful woman?
He was supposed to give her a card, and she thought he would give her tens of thousands, but¡ it was only 2000?
Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, ¡°So darling, how much do you want? Isn¡¯t 1000 sufficient for one time?¡±
¡°Am I only worth 1000?¡± Su Wanwan gathered his implication and felt insulted. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go find a prostitute?¡±
Huo Jingshen patted her small head in a teaching manner. ¡°Your hubby is a clean freak, doesn¡¯t like wild girls from the outside.
Su Wanwan:
Fighting with a man who has no shame¡ she was clearly outmatched!

By 5:30 in the afternoon, the driving school sses ended.
The instructor smiled and said,¡±Best of luck on your test, hope you get your driver¡¯s license smoothly.¡±
¡°Thank you, instructor.¡±
Having wrapped up at the driving school, Su Wanwan picked up her bag and walked towards the parking lot with heavy steps.
She was utterly exhausted.
She had been practicing all day at driving school, her legs were so numb that they were almost losing all sensation..
Chapter 117 - 117:117,1 am a married woman.
Chapter 117:117,1 am a married woman.
Trantor: 549690339
With a sudden ¡°thud¡±, her shoulder was forcefully pped from behind.
Su Wanwan was both in pain and shocked, her body jolted violently.
¡°Junior Sister!¡±
Hearing this annoying voice, she closed her eyes, then instantly lost her temper, raising her leg and kicking hard, ¡°Ye Qitian, are you courting death?!¡±
¡°Why are you so fierce?¡± Ye Qitian held his kicked shin, bncing on one leg, and grimacing in pain.
The junior sister is fine in all respects. She¡¯s pretty, has a good figure, and can y along with him, but sometimes she¡¯s just too fierce. She is a veritable demoness!
Once he marries her home, he must properly discipline her.
Su Wanwan red at him fiercely, then turned and left.
¡°Hey, Junior sister, don¡¯t leave!¡± Ye Qitian, enduring the pain, chased after her, grabbing her hand, ¡°Go on a date with me!¡±
¡°Date your sister!¡± Su Wanwan shook him off, pointing at him with her index finger and sternly warning, ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m married. I¡¯m a married woman now. Can you stay away from me? Stop bothering me, please!¡±
¡°So what if you are? You and that old man have no feelings for each other anyway. You are bound to divorce sooner orter. Why not cultivate some feelings with me first, to prevent me from falling for other pretty-faced seductresses. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have nowhere to cryter!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched uncontrobly, unable to stop.
Why are the people around her always so full of themselves?
Ye Qitian went ahead and grabbed her hand again. ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll take you to a ce. I heard it¡¯s a lot of fun. It¡¯s called¡ the mansion?¡±
¡°We can¡¯t go to the mansion!¡± Su Wanwan shouted subconsciously.
¡°Alright, then we won¡¯t go to the mansion. I¡¯ll take you to another fun ce instead.¡± After speaking, Ye Qitian dragged her towards the main gate.
*
*
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart throbbed with unease.
Because Huo Jingshen had to know her whereabouts every day, if she returns toote, he would probably find various ways to torment her.
Indeed, once she got in the car, his call came through immediately.
Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°I have to go to the airport to pick someone up tonight, I¡¯ll be backter.¡±
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan was thrilled, ¡°Sounds good, when do you think you will be back?¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled, his tone suggestive, ¡°So eager for your husband toe back and keep youpany?¡±
¡°Eh¡¡±
Eager my foot!
Keeppany, my foot!
I hope you take a business trip to Antarctica and nevere back!
¡°Probably around 10 o¡¯clock,¡± Huo Jingshen said.
Su Wanwan grunted twice in response.
10 o¡¯clock, right?
That meant she could y till around 9, awesome!
¡°What¡¯s that noise over there?¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly asked.
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wanwan froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m in a taxi. The driver is ying music.¡±
There was silence on the other end of the phone, then Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice echoed faintly, ¡°Stop listening to these musically void songs.¡±
On the side, Ye Qitian was humming, ¡°I want to give you ny-nine roses, I want to sing the words in my heart for you to hear, I want¡¡±
No musicality?
She thought this popr TikTok song was quite good.
Indeed, there was a generation gap!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qjtian immediately pinched his throat and started imitating a woman, ¡°Hello, darling, no, I¡¯m not panting. I¡¯m just out for a jog¡ No¡ Mmm¡ Hiss!¡±
His arm was pinched fiercely by Su Wanwan.
¡°Ouch, ouch, ouch¡ My bad, let go, it¡¯s really painful, Junior sister, let go¡¡±
Su Wanwan red at him once before finally releasing her grip, ¡°Just drive!¡±
Ye Qitian pouted, but could only grumble quietly, ¡°You¡¯re only so bossy because you know I like you.¡±
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. ¡°Where did you get this car?¡±
The car Ye Qitian drove was a shy yellow Porsche. Su Wanwan remembed that it was identical to the sports car Huo Zhexi drovest time, except his was white.
The car¡¯s performance was excellent, giving a very pleasurable driving experience. It must have cost at least seven to eight million RMB, right?
¡°Borrowed.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t give it much thought.
Ye Qitian, who was two years older than her, was a rich second generation in Los Angeles. Undoubtedly, he must have affluent rtives and friends in Nancheng too.
An hourter, the Porsche was parked in front of a bar.
The name of the bar was intriguing: Mesmerizing Night.
¡°They invited Vivian, the TikTok goddess, tonight!¡± Ye Qitian said, his stunning starry eyes gleaming with excitement.
Su Wanwan disparaged, ¡°What¡¯s so great about her?¡±
She had seen this so-called goddess on TikTok. She was¡ not bad, but just had a more impressive chest.
Ye Qjtian coughed a couple of times, ¡°I didn¡¯t want toe either, but she¡¯s a senior in my managementpany. She¡¯ll probably pull me up on stage once she knows I¡¯m here.¡±
Immediately after, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry though, little junior sister, even though she¡¯s a 36D, I still love your little Bs the most.¡±
¡°Who told you I only have ¡®Bs¡¯?¡± Su Wanwan reflexively protested.
As Ye Qjtian¡¯s crafty gaze started to drift down her body, Su Wanwan quickly reached out and blocked his view.
¡°Ha ha ha ha ha.¡± Ye Qjtian¡¯sugh was wicked, ¡°Even if you were an ¡®A¡¯, I¡¯d still choose you. None of those shy floozies outside canpare to your beauty or your sense of fun¡¡±
¡°Are we going in or not?¡± Su Wanwan threatened to walk away.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Qitian hurriedly pulled her towards the bar.
It was 7 p.m, and the bar was already bustling. Throbbing electronic music was sting out in rich Dolby sound, everybody was bobbing their heads and iling their bodies to the rhythm.
The booth they seated at had a good view of the center of the stage.
Soon, the waiter brought over a pile of food and drink. Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes lit up. She could finally drink!
¡°Here¡¯s to you, little junior sister,¡± Ye Qitian clinked his beer bottle with hers.
With a ¡°clink¡±, they both downed their drinks.
They continued to drink and chat.
In a corner, a young woman was incessantly taking photos of them with her phone.

In the Xing family¡¯s vi.
In the upstairs bedroom, Su Yanyan was preparing the materials she¡¯d need for college the next day when she suddenly got a call from her friend, Jian Xiaoman.
¡°Yanyan, guess who I just saw?¡±
¡°Who?¡± Su Yanyan didn¡¯t seem very interested.
Ever since she married Xing Yuyun, she¡¯d been grounded by Xing¡¯s grandmother.
They imed it was because she was pregnant and it was unsafe for her to go out. Really, it was because her wardrobe malfunction at their wedding had made the newspapers and embarrassed the Xing family!
The grandparents even suggested that she drops out of school, iming that it was inconvenient for her to attend school while pregnant¡
But would Su Yanyan agree to that?
She¡¯d worked so hard to get epted into Nancheng University and wasn¡¯t ready to be a stay-at-home wife this soon.
Besides, with Xing Yuyun residing in the hospital due to an injury, if she quit school now, did they expect her to live like a widow at home?
¡°I saw Su Wanwan!
This brought Su Yanyan back to attention. ¡°Where?¡±
¡°At the Mesmerizing Night bar. Vivian, the TikTok goddess, brought herpany¡¯s junior here to show him around tonight. Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan was there too. She seemed very familiar with that junior. Hold on, I¡¯ll send you some photos.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
After a while, Jian Xiaoman sent a bunch of photos and a video.
The video wasn¡¯t much. They were just constantly drinking and chatting, which looked quite normal.
But those photos were really good. From a certain angle, the two looked like a couple whispering sweet nothings into each other¡¯s ears, getting too close and intimate¡ a bit excessive.
Jian Xiaoman hurriedly called again, ¡°This guy is a neer signed by Vivian¡¯spany. He is said to be an overseas Chinese from America, and thepany intends to promote him heavily. Who would have thought he¡¯d be having an affair with Su Wanwan at the bar.. Tsk tsk, what would the Huo family think if this scandales out and causes a ruckus?¡±
Chapter 118 - 118:118,1 hate it, you devil!
Chapter 118:118,1 hate it, you devil!
Trantor: 549690339
Su Yanyan intentionally said, ¡°They are probably just good friends, after all, she is my sister. You should delete all the photos.¡±
¡°Come on, Yanyan, you are too innocent and kind. She purposely embarrassed you at the weddingst time, and you are still speaking up for her? Truly, no good deed goes unpunished! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve got this.¡±
¡°What are you nning to do?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll find out.¡±
In the bar, Jiang Xiaoman put down her phone, her eyes filled with smugughter.
On the day of the wedding, just because she said a few bad words about Xiao Yebai, she was almost killed by this Su Wanwan!
Because of her rtionship with the Mo family, she didn¡¯t dare tell her family the truth. She rested and nursed her wounds for a few days before she dared to meet her friends today.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan walked right into her trap.
If she couldn¡¯t mess with Mo Weiyi, couldn¡¯t she mess with Su Wanwan?

International airport.
Huo Jingshen was standing at the exit, waiting.
He was tall, his face cold and stern, particrly dressed in the attire of a business elite. Even surrounded by many foreigners, he still stood out in the crowd.
¡°Uncle Huo.¡± A tender childish voice resounded.
Huo Jingshen looked up, and when he saw the woman following Fu Ziyang, he was caught off guard, and his right eyelid twitched violently.
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡±
Upon reaching him, Fu Qi looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her gaze soft, her face shy, and her voice had an indescribable hint of intimate tenderness.
Because she had been busy with tour rehearsals and Huo Jingshen had suddenly gone back to the country to take over the family business, she hadn¡¯t seen him in nearly half a year.
It seemed that Brother Jingshen had be even more handsome¡
Compared to her budding feelings, Huo Jingshen appeared indifferent, his voice also casual, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Fu Qi hurriedly exined, ¡°My brother was worried, so I brought Ziyang over. I sent you a message earlier.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
She did send a message, but only mentioned the flight number.
Fearing that he would be angry, Fu Qi quickly said, ¡°Brother Jingshen, once Ziyang is settled in school, I will return.¡±
Huo Jingshen gave her a nce, then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Ji Jie had been secretly observing for a while from behind, and quickly came up and said, ¡°Let me take care of the luggage.¡±
¡°Thank you,¡± Fu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Huo Jingshen had never lost his temper with her, she always felt a tremendous pressure when facing him.
Especially when she was being looked at by those ck eyes, she felt as though she couldn¡¯t hide anything, as if all her thoughts were seen through by him.
Rumor has it that the two founders of Yunda are one warm and one cold ¨C Huo Jingshen is refined and elegant, while Fu Xihan is cold and ruthless.
But in her view, although her elder brother was somewhat extreme in his methods, he was very humane. He treated his subordinates especially well and would do anything for her, his sister.
On the other hand, Huo Jingshen was indifferent to everyone. She remembered that when Mr. and Mrs. Huo passed away one after another, he had hardly shown any grief. Even with Jinghua, after everything that happened, he could now let go¡
Ji Jie was also lost in thought.
He pushed the luggage at the back, looking ahead at the ¡°family of three¡±. No matter how he looked, something seemed off.
Mr. Huo only mentioned picking someone up at the airport, without specifying who.
And the kid looked too much like Mr. Huo, right?
It couldn¡¯t really be a mistress and an illegitimate child, could it?
Tsk tsk tsk, rich people sure know how to y. He has such a beautiful wife at home, and yet keeps an outside woman, and even brought back the mistress and illegitimate child. Is he nning to divorce the wife?
Sigh, poor Mrs. Huo is kept in the dark and doesn¡¯t know anything yet¡
Suddenly, a sh of light shed before his eyes.
¡°Ji Jie, take care of it,¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice sounded.
Ji Jie quickly recovered, and noticing a reporter sneaking a camera out in front of him, he promptly rushed over and grabbed the person¡¯s arm, ¡°Give me the camera!¡±
¡°What are you talking about? Let go of me.¡±
It was a girl¡¯s voice, wearing a baseball cap, her eyes under the brim of the hat looking restlessly around, clearly up to no good.
Ji Jie was impatient, ¡°You took a picture of our Mr. Huo, do you need me to spell it out for you?¡±
¡°You¡¯re mistaken, I don¡¯t know any Mr. Huo. I¡¯m just taking photos of the scenery, and I¡¯m not a reporter.¡± The girl said, taking out her student ID.
She was indeed a senior in the journalism department of South University, currently interning at a gossip magazine. She received news tonight that a married male celebrity was having an affair with a popr young actress in Japan. She had been waiting for half a day to catch them, but instead, she had spotted Huo Jingshen.
As a gossip reporter, she naturally knew who the Huo Family heir was. He kept a low profile and his private life was even more mysterious. He never epted any interviews. She only knew that his marriage news was announced not long ago. Unexpectedly, just one monthter, there are rumors of an extramarital rtionship, and even illegitimate children. If she could break this news¡
As she was thinking, her camera in her embrace was suddenly snatched away.
Ji Jie didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately wiped all the photos.
The girl was agitated, ¡°Why did you delete my photos? I needed them for my graduation exhibition, that¡¯s over the line! Hey!¡±
¡°You should be thankful that I didn¡¯t smash your camera.¡± Ji Jie said and quickly left after dropping the camera.
Here, Fu Qi eagerly asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Nothing, everything is already sorted out. Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Huo.¡± Ji Jie reported with a smile.
**
The Imperial Court.
Su Wanwan specifically returned to the vi before ten o¡¯clock.
When she got out after taking a bath, she heard a woman¡¯s and a child¡¯s voice from the corridor.
Recalling the mysterious phone call fromst night, her senses were alert, she quickly rushed downstairs.
Then, she saw the woman sitting on the living room sofa.
Very young, in her early twenties. Same long ck straight hair as Su Yanyan, just without the bangs.
She was wearing a white chiffon dress, her oval face was very white, her features were also very beautiful, beautifully applying light makeup. Especially her eyes, ck and shining, undoubtedly, she was a pretty and elegant girl.
Fu Qi also saw the descending Su Wanwan.
Her first impression was, why is she so young?
She thought the woman whom Huo Jingshen married would look like Dong Manjiao or at least should be elegant and mature. Unexpectedly, it was a teenager!
Had this girl even turned 18?
No wonder, Su Wanwan had just taken a shower, so her long hair tied atop her head along with her pink bear-patterned pajamas and even her slippers were pink. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were open, she looked quite immature.
¡°Hello, Auntie.¡± Fu Ziyang greeted politely.
Su Wanwan took back her gaze, coughed twice, and slowly walked up, ¡°Ziyang, is this your aunt?¡±
Fu Qi frowned.
Aunt? Was she that old?
Fu Ziyang lifted his little head and adorably answered, ¡°She¡¯s my little aunt.¡±
¡°Little aunt.¡± Su Wanwan nodded her head, and with a smile looked at Fu Qi, ¡°Hello, my name is Su Wanwan, you can call me¡¡±
¡°Are you Brother Jingshen¡¯s wife?¡± Fu Qi directly interrupted her.
Understanding shed in Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes, so this was the woman who calledst night, my husband¡¯s old me? But she seems pretty young, her thoughts are easy to read.
¡°Yes.¡± She responded cheerfully, ¡°Are you close with my husband?¡±
Fu Qi¡¯s forehead creased, her face twisting into a knot of confusion, ¡°How old are you?¡±
Su Wanwan retaliated, ¡°How old are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m twenty-two.¡± Having finished, Fu Qi immediately asked her, ¡°What about you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m twenty.¡±
More expressions disyed on Fu Qi¡¯s face.
Twenty?
She¡¯s two years younger than me?
She instantly asked, ¡°How long have you known Brother Jingshen? Why would he marry you? Did you use some¡¡±
¡°Fu Qi.¡± A cold male voice suddenly sounded.
Fu Qi immediately shut her mouth.
¡°Husband.¡± Su Wanwan walked over, wrapped her arms around the man¡¯s arm, her tone was soft and affectionate, ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise to be home by ten? Howe you¡¯re sote?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her,pletely rxed.
Normally, it would take half a life to coax her to call him ¡°husband,¡± now she was dering her territory by her own initiative?
Seems like, Fu Qiing over wasn¡¯t entirely ineffective.
¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you!¡± Su Wanwan pinched his arm hard.
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Fu Qi stood there, her face was very unwell.
Since getting to know Huo Jingshen, all these years, this was the first time seeing a woman tantly sticking to him, and Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t even push her away?

¡°Traffic was backed up,¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice sounded faintly, ¡°Darling, you¡¯ve already showered?¡±
¡°Yeah, were you expecting me to wait for you so we could shower together?¡± Su Wanwan deliberately spoke ambiguously.
Huo Jingshen coughed lightly, then leaned down and murmured something into her ear.
Su Wanwan instantly blushed and eximed, ¡°Stop it, you devil!¡±
Fu Qi¡¯s expression immediately soured.
Fu Ziyang sat there, his little face serious.
It seemed like in less than a month of absence, Uncle Huo and Aunt Wanwan¡¯s affections for each other had improved even more?
Su Wanwan suddenly covered her mouth, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so sorry. I¡¯m so used to hounding him in private that I forgot we have guests over now.¡±
Huo Jingshen quickly raised an eyebrow slightly.
As for Fu Qi, who was referred to as the outsider, she gritted her teeth, her hands twisted into knots.
¡°By the way, Miss Fu, will you stay over tonight?¡± Su Wanwan asked, channeling an amicable hostess vibe.
Fu Qi instantly looked towards Huo Jingshen, ¡°Brother Jingshen, will it inconvenience you if I stay here?¡±
¡°Of course not, guests are always wee!¡± Su Wanwan naturally took over the conversation.
Fu Qi was speechless.
¡°Then let your sister-inw make the arrangements,¡± Huo Jingshen added smoothly.
Fu Qi was again lost for words.
Su Wanwan already strolled over with enthusiasm, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, you must be tired after that long flight, Ziyang. I¡¯ll help you with your luggage.¡±
¡°Thank you, Aunt Wanwan.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±
Su Wanwan carried Fu Ziyang¡¯s small suitcase and led the little guy upstairs.
Fu Qi pouted her lips, about to ask Huo Jingshen for help with her suitcase, but saw him head out to the balcony with a cigarette and lighter.
Having no other choice, she had to pick up her big suitcase and quickly follow them.
Upstairs, Fu Ziyang¡¯s old child¡¯s room had been preserved, Su Wanwan had never been inside. Upon opening the door today, she found everything was refreshed and new.
A warm sky-blue child¡¯s desk had been added, the floor was filled with star-patterned soft padding and the cab was stocked with a collection of educational children¡¯s books. Even the bed sheets and quilt cover were changed to children¡¯s cartoon patterns. The bed was filled with an array of cute dolls and pillows.
The preparations were probably done by Aunt Liu, no doubt.
Su Wanwan put the suitcase down, and smilingly asked, ¡°Ziyang, do you like your new room?¡±
Fu Ziyang looked around, his face unsmiling and his voice apathetic, ¡°Thank you, Aunt Wanwan.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡±
Why does a five-year-old already remind her of a thirty-year-old Huo Jingshen?
¡°Which room will I be sleeping in?¡± Fu Qi¡¯s voice sounded from behind.
Su Wanwan acted as if she didn¡¯t hear, turning to help the little guy open the wardrobe.
¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Did you not hear me?¡±
¡°Hey!¡±
Having her arm forcefully pulled, Su Wanwan finally turned around in surprise, ¡°What¡¯s up, Miss Fu?¡±
Fu Qi was so angry that her face was flushed, ¡°Are you doing this on purpose?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Su Wanwan wore an innocent expression.
¡°I¡¯ve been calling you for ages! You were ignoring me on purpose!¡± Fu Qi stomped her foot.
Su Wanwan almost burst outughing.
This Miss Fu was kind of cute; hiding nothing, she wore her heart on her sleeve, with everything clear in an instant.
Such a woman had no real scheming nature, and even if she did, herbat power was negligible.
The truly terrifying ones were the likes of Su Yanyan, appearing innocent and adorable on the outside, but harboring malicious intentions, fond of stabbing people in the back.
¡°What were you calling me for?¡± Su Wanwan asked her.
Fu Qi was getting really frustrated.
If it wasn¡¯t for Brother Jingshen telling her to let Su Wanwan make arrangements, she wouldn¡¯t be bothering about her!
With no other choice, sheposed herself and asked once again, ¡°I asked you, which room am I going to stay in!¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her in surprise, ¡°Oh, was it you calling me?¡±
¡°Who do you think I was calling?¡± Fu Qi frowned.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°Then you should call me sister-inw. Otherwise, I would have thought you were calling Ziyang.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Fu Qi looked conflicted, and after a long pause, she grumbled, ¡°You¡¯re not my sister-inw!¡±
¡°Well, you can also call me Mrs. Huo!¡±
Fu Qi was immediately torn again.
Call her Mrs. Huo?
No way!
Su Wanwan¡¯s voice rose again, ¡°Miss Fu, you seem quite unwilling, huh? It¡¯s strange, you¡¯re a guest in my house now, I¡¯m the host, you¡¯re the guest. You¡¯re not a kid anymore, don¡¯t you know basic manners when you¡¯re visiting others¡¯ homes? My husband said I could arrange everything. If you keep showing me this attitude, you might as well just not stay here. Grab a cab and find a hotel to stay in.¡±
After saying this, she turned to leave.
¡°Stop right there!¡± Fu Qi yelled.
But Su Wanwan didn¡¯t stop, until the sound of hurried footsteps caught up with her, and Fu Qi grabbed her arm again.
¡°What do you want?¡± Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, waiting for her response.
Fu Qi red at her, somewhat exasperated, ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯ve known Brother Jingshen for a full ten years!¡±
¡°So?¡±
What does it matter?
Su Wanwan looked intrigued.
Fu Qi said, ¡°My brother is his senior, and also his business partner. I¡¯ve watched them build up Yunda step by step. They have a great rtionship, otherwise my brother wouldn¡¯t have entrusted Ziyang to him to discipline.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Su Wanwan nodded in agreement.
¡°I know Brother Jingshen likes his steak medium rare, his eggs over easy. He doesn¡¯t eattro and doesn¡¯t like spicy food. His favorite movie is ¡°Exciting 1995¡å, his favorite music is blues jazz, his favorite team is Juventus, his favorite instrument is the violin. I even learned to y the violin because of him.¡±
After she finished speaking, Fu Qi looked at Su Wanwan. Her eyes showed clear resentment, ¡°But what about you? Do you know what his favorite color is, do you know his clothing and shoe sizes? Do you know his favorite sport?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her, a faint smile on her face, ¡°My husband¡¯s favorite sport is to exercise with me. But you wouldn¡¯t understand it, and I can¡¯t me you.¡±
Fu Qi¡¯s face immediately turned extremely red.
She had been well protected from childhood and educated as adylike socialite. The people around her were always knowledgeable and modest.
Even her sister-inw Xiu Xin and Huo Jinghua were very gentle women. No one had ever bluntly and crudely talked about such private things. It was really¡
¡°You¡¡±
She stuttered for a long time before finally managed to say, ¡°You¡¯re shameless!¡±
Su Wanwan finally couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Your Brother Jingshen is a man, and a normal married man at that. You think it¡¯s shameful to do such things? Do you think he¡¯s a monk? Or¡ you only like his face, you never thought abou being intimate with him? Have you never fantasized about it when you¡¯re dreaming at night? You¡¯re not still a virgin¡¡±
¡°Ah ah ah ah ah, what nonsense are you talking!¡±
Fu Qi, red-faced and embarrassed, interrupted her.
Firstly, she didn¡¯t expect Su Wanwan to figure out that she likes Huo Jingshen.
Secondly, she was too embarrassed to listen any further.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± a man¡¯s low voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Fu Qi and Su Wanwan both jumped in surprise.
At the stairway, Huo Jingshen rolled up his sleeves, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. It wasn¡¯t clear if he had heard their previous conversation.
Su Wanwan blinked and said, ¡°Miss Fu wasn¡¯t satisfied with the room I arranged for her, so¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not!¡± Fu Qi couldn¡¯t help but yell.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his voice like an elder admonishing a junior, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, and we have to take Ziyang to school tomorrow. Go to bed early.¡±
After saying that, hefortably went back to their bedroom.
It seemed he hadn¡¯t heard anything. Su Wanwan was relieved, ¡°Miss Fu, follow me.¡±
Fu Qi gritted her teeth, with no choice but to follow.
But Su Wanwan led her all the way inside, stopping at the door of the innermost room, ¡°This room doesn¡¯t get much sunlight, but Miss Fu won¡¯t be staying for long, so just put up with it.¡±
As she opened the door, Fu Qi obviously disliked it, ¡°This room is too far in the back, there¡¯s no sunlight.¡±
Su Wanwanughed, ¡°I was afraid if it was too close to our master bedroom, you might overhear us doing ¡®that¡¯ in the night and it could harm your young girl¡¯s mental health. What should we do then?¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Fu Qi¡¯s face turned red again.
*
*
When Su Wanwan returned to the bedroom, she felt refreshed.
Even though a certain old man is shameless, he¡¯s still her officially married husband after all. How could she allow other women to covet him?
Fortunately, that Fu Qi is really nothing special¡
As soon as Su Wanwan closed the doors of the room, she was embraced with a pair of strong arms..
Chapter 120 - 120:120, the only wrestling

Trantor: 549690339 1
The man¡¯s voice was husky and deep, ¡°What was that you were saying about my favorite sport earlier? Hmm? Say it again for me.¡±
Holy moly!
Su Wanwan¡¯s face instantly turned beet red, and she suddenly felt weak in the knees.
Damn it.
He actually heard everything she said earlier?
Damn, he heard it and pretended he didn¡¯t?
Pretending to be noble and virtuous?
This big bad wolf!
Such a hypocrite!
She was actually fooled!
¡°So in my baby¡¯s heart, you love me so much. I feel like I have deprived you in the past. I need to make it up to you,¡± Huo Jingshen said seriously, picking her up immediately, ¡°You also mentioned earlier that you wanted to¡ share a bath together with me downstairs.¡±
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!¡± Su Wenwen screamed, cutting him off.
At the same time, she quickly grabbed the pir of the wardrobe and refused to let go, ¡°I¡¯m not going, I¡¯ve already bathed, let me go!¡±
¡°Join me for another bath.¡±
¡°No!¡±
¡°Be a good girl and listen.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t!¡±
Being disobedient again?¡± Huo Jingshen tried to prise her grip, but¡
¡°No, no!¡±
¡°Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, don¡¯t use so much force!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t touch me¡¡±
In the corridor, Fu Qi, who was about to knock on their door, heard their voices. Her face turned red, and she quickly ran away.
She initially wanted to ask for the WiFi password, but who would have thought that these two people¡ even so early in the morning¡
Especially that Su Wanwan, making such a loud noise, she was utterly shameless!
*
Back in the room, Su Wanwan was holding onto the wardrobe desperately, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, let go, I don¡¯t want to bathe¡¡±
The mobile phone rang just then and she hurriedly said, ¡°I have to get up early tomorrow, you go take a bath. I need to answer this call.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her frightened little form, his eyes sparkling with mirth.
A momentter, he finally let go.
Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to pick up her phone, ¡°Weiyi.¡±
Huo Jingshen,¡±¡¡± That Mo Weiyi again!
¡°Wanwan, I¡¯m so pitiful.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s delicate voice came through the phone.
¡°What happened this time?¡± Seeing Huo Jingshen finally go into the bathroom,
Su Wanwan felt like a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders.
Mo Weiyi continued, ¡°I just slipped in the shower.¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
Now I¡¯m in the hospital, and the doctor wants me to stay for a few days for observation, wailing.¡±
Su Wenwen:
She¡¯s really done with this girl.
¡°How did you fall? You¡¯ve already sprained your ankle, can¡¯t you be more careful?¡±
¡°I was bathing, and Xiaobai was downstairs in the study. I thought I¡¯d shouldn¡¯t bother him to carry me, and who knew¡ I slipped, and it hurts so much. It was almost healed, but now it¡¯s worse¡¡±
Xiao Yebai had juste back from making the payment and heard Mo Weiyi¡¯sint from outside the door.
The spoiled princess has always been pampered since she was a child, her body was wless and delicate without a single scar. But,tely, she seemed to be suffering one misfortune after another.
First, she had a fight, then she sprained her ankle, and now she fell and fractured a toe¡
He pushed the door open, and Mo Weiyi¡¯sints promptly stopped, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t bother you and Mr. Huo with your sweet time, bye-bye,¡¯ remember toe see me tomorrow.¡±
She put down her phone and a bright smile lit up her face, ¡°Xiaobai, you¡¯re back.¡±
Xiao Yebai gave a hum, walked over, and pulled up the thin nket, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, let¡¯s rest.¡±
But my foot hurts,¡± Mo Weiyi pouted.
¡°Do you want a painkiller?¡±
Mo Weiyi shook her head, then stretched out her small hand, ¡°I want Xiaobai to hold me andfort me, then it won¡¯t hurt.¡±
Xiao Yebai put his phone and keys on the table, walked over, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Mo Weiyi quickly buried herself in his arms, her hands wrapped around his waist. Her voice was soft and sweet as she asked, ¡°Xiaobai, will you stay with me tonight?¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°Then tomorrow, can you bring Xiao Xiaobai and Xiao Baibai to the hospital to apany me?¡±
Upon hearing these two names, Xiao Yebai¡¯s brows twitched uncontrobly.
After all, having his own name so simr to that of two little turtles was a bit ridiculous.
What¡¯s wrong? I think these two names are cute.¡± Mo Weiyi said with a chuckle, ¡°That¡¯s what you get for not helping me name them.¡±
Xiao Yebai replied nonchntly, ¡°Why not call them Mo Xiaoyi, Mo Yiyi.¡±
¡°No way!¡± Mo Weiyi annoyingly pinched his arm, ¡°I don¡¯t want to have the same name as a turtle.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her.
Because she had suddenly been sent to the hospital after falling in the shower, she currently wore no make-up. Yet, even without the embellishment of cosmetics, she still looked charming and beautiful.
Although the Mo family¡¯s features were rather ordinary, and Mo Yaoxiong looked rather rugged, this daughter of his was exquisitely beautiful, as if favored by heaven.
A fleeting shadow passed through the man¡¯s eyes.
Then he lowered his head, hisrge hand gently stroked her soft, curly hair,
¡°Sleep now, it¡¯s alreadyte.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mo Weiyi closed her eyes, taking in his refreshing scent. The corners of her lips curled into a sweet smile. ¡°Xiaobai, you¡¯re so good to me.¡±
¡°I should be.¡±
Xiao Yebai remained seated, waiting until she fell asleep. When he heard her soft, even breathing, he picked her up and slowlyid her on the hospital bed.
After tucking her in, he quietly left the room.
The moment the door closed, the woman who had appeared to be sleeping abruptly opened her eyes.
Mo Weiyi stared at the tightly shut door, her stunning cat-like eyes unwavering, devoid of any emotion.
Muchter, she averted her gaze, only to notice Xiao Yebai¡¯s phone left on the table.
*
In the ward downstairs.
The sudden opening of the door startled Xiao Zhiwei. She looked at the man entering, ¡°Brother, why did youe sote?¡±
ncing at the time, it was already eleven o¡¯clock at night.
Xiao Yebai stood by the bed, his gaze heavy, his expression grim.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, brother?¡± Xiao Zhiwei felt uneasy under his gaze.
Finally, Xiao Yebai asked indifferently, ¡°Why did you hide my phone?¡±
Her pupils constricted suddenly. Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s first reaction was to reach for the pillow behind her.
¡°I¡¯ve already taken the phone.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei:¡±¡¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his expression and voice both extremely indifferent, ¡°Zhiwei, what exactly are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Brother, I was wrong.¡± Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s eyes welled up with tears as she hurriedly exined, ¡°I was so scared that night, but I knew that you and Princess Su were celebrating your wedding anniversary. I didn¡¯t have the nerve to ask you to stay with me. I knew that as soon as she called, you would definitely go to her. So, I¡ 1 was wrong. Brother, can you forgive me this time? Brother¡¡±
She lowered her head, covering her face, and whimpered softly.
Only m front of Xiao Yebai would she allow her vulnerable side as a woman to be shown.
Xiao Yebai stood there, allowing her to cry until her sobs became choked, but his expression didn¡¯t change a bit.
After a while, his cold voice rang out, ¡°You¡¯re my sister, of course I¡¯ll forgive you. But in the future, don¡¯t do things like this.¡±
When he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Upon hearing the door shut, Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s crying grew louder.
Yes.
*
*
When Xiao Yebai returned to the upstairs ward, he found Mo Weiyi lying in bed ying with her phone.
He went over and nced at the table without a hint of emotion, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping again?¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t speak.
She stared at her phone, her eyes focused, unsure of what she was looking at.
It was a rare sight indeed.
From the age of fifteen, when she entered the Mo family¡¯s mansion for the first time, wearing a delicate princess dress, a ten-year-old girl named Mo Weiyi blessed with incredible beauty, blinked her innocent and stunning cat eyes and pointed at him. ¡°This brother is so handsome, I want him to be my boyfriend!¡± She was innocent yet domineering.
From then on, for ten years, every time she saw him, she would passionately approach him, constantly calling ¡°Xiaobai,¡± ¡°Xiaobai.¡±
The proud and valuable Princess of the Mo family, rumored to be arrogant and superior to others, was always sticking to him like a tail, following him around. Even during the few years when she was studying abroad, she still found ways to bother him¡
A hint of emotion shed across Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes. He stood there, silent for a long while..
Chapter 121 - 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded?
Chapter 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded?
Trantor: 549690339 I
An emotion shed across Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes. He stood there for nearly half a minute.
Then he noticed that Mo Weiyi was still looking at her mobile phone.
Very unusual.
But he didn¡¯t say anything, just picked up his mobile phone from the table and turned to go into the bathroom.
The room door closed.
Mo Weiyi quickly turned her head for a nce, then returned again to her mobile phone screen.
She had posted a thread on Zhihu, with the titleJWhat to do? Suddenly Found Out My Husband Deceived Me¡]
The replies fromizens were varied:
¡°Turn a blind eye to it, what else can you do?¡±
¡°If a man lies to you, it surely means he doesn¡¯t love you enough!¡±
¡°Confront him, fight with him!¡±
¡°If it¡¯s a white lie, just pretend you don¡¯t know. Ignorance is bliss.¡±
¡°Depends on what he lied about, if he cheated, absolutely you should not put up with it!¡±
¡°So, did the poster get cuckolded?¡±
Cuckolded?
Mo Weiyi wrinkled her nose.
What a mess of answers.
How could Xiaobai ever make her a cuckold? He himself is cold even towards men, let alone women?
Hearing the door opening again, she immediately tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes.
The man¡¯s footsteps were very light.
Soon, the fluorescent light was turned off, and the room darkened.
Mo Weiyiy in bed, unable to resist, slowly opened her eyes.
The ward was equipped with a night light, just bright enough for human eyes to see in.
She saw Xiao Yebaiy down on the couch.
At 1.88 meters tall, the length and width of the couch were clearly not enough for him, making him look distinctly ufortable.
Yet he fell asleep quickly and soon began to snore lightly.
But Mo Weiyiy there, awake deep into the night.
Perhaps due to the secrets in her heart, it was not until the first light of dawn that she fell into a drowsy sleep.
When she woke up again, it was the nurse who woke her.
After taking her temperature, a call from Xiao Yebai came through.
Mo Weiyi looked at the name on her screen, ¡°Kisses from Xiaobai¡±.
She let it ring for a long while before pressing the answer key, her voice listless, ¡°Hello.¡±
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line then Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice came through as calmly as usual, ¡°Weiyi?¡±
¡°Mmm.¡±
¡°Does your foot still hurt?¡±
Mo Weiyi went off-topic, ¡°Xiaobai, why didn¡¯t you wake me up when you left?¡± ¡°You were sleeping.¡±
From now on, you must wake me up before you leave,¡± Mo Weiyi was somewhat angry, her voice sounded almost like an usation, ¡°And you didn¡¯t even say goodbye to me today, leaving me alone in the hospital. Doesn¡¯t it make you feel sorry for me, having no one to apany me?¡±
Saying this, her eyes started to well up.
The fact that he had deceived her was already upsetting enough. Add to that her injury, and today being the first day of university, she was left alone to recuperate in the hospital.
She truly felt wronged.
The man¡¯s voice remained as deep and calm as before, ¡°I had aunt Jiang stay at the hospital with you.¡±
¡°And you?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
¡°I have a meeting this morning, I can only go there at noon.¡±
Mo Weiyi clenched the nket in her hand, work, always work! Working all the time, never stopping!
¡°When youe in the afternoon, bring Xiaoxiaobai and Baibaibai with you.¡±
¡°Ok,¡± Xiao Yebai agreed, ¡°Do you want grandma to apany you too?¡±
¡°No,¡± Mo Weiyi refused.
Grandma is of such advanced age and she lives in the old house in the southern part of the city, it would be inconvenient for her to travel back and forth.
**
Mo Group.
After putting down the phone, Xiao Yebai pondered for a moment, then dialed another number.
¡°Yo, what¡¯s up? Xiao actually has time to call me?¡±
Compared to the voice on the other end, Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was indifferent and rigid, Send all the web pages viewed and operated from eleven to twelvest night on the princess¡¯s phone to my mailbox.¡±
¡°Damn, I knew you wouldn¡¯t contact me for anything good. I, as a cop, am formally warning you, you¡¯re invading someone¡¯s privacy, even if it¡¯s your wife¡¯s. Don¡¯t you have any legalmon sense?¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll find someone else.¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t,¡± the man stopped him, ¡°It would be even easier for others to expose this, forget it, I¡¯m just unlucky to know you. Over the years, haven¡¯t I done enough dirty work and shady business for you?¡±
¡°Good to know.¡± With that, Xiao Yebai coldly hung up the phone.
*
*
10 minutester, the phone in the assistant¡¯s office suddenly rang.
¡°Mr. Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?¡± Zhong Kai, holding the receiver, was sincerely frightened.
Being sought out by the boss first thing in the morning certainly wouldn¡¯t be a good thing. Who knew¡
¡°Go to the pet market and get me two pet dogs.¡±
¡°What?¡± Zhong Kai¡¯s voice rose in surprise.
¡°Problem with your ears?¡±
¡°No, no,¡± Zhong Kai broke into a cold sweat.
¡°They shouldn¡¯t shed too much and should have a gentle temperament. Puppies would be best as they are easier to take care of. Pay attention to hygiene and safety. After you get them, send them directly to room number 2208, Nangong Hospital. The princess will be recuperating there for a few days.¡± The man¡¯s voice was as if discussing today¡¯s stock market trends, without even a hint of ups and downs.
Zhong Kai, however, was taken aback.
Was Mr. Xiao trying to coax the princess?
Wasn¡¯t the little turtle he sentst time cute enough?

Hospital.
After being cooped up in the ward for two hours, as soon as Aunt Jiang arrived, Mo Weiyi immediately ordered, ¡°Aunt Jiang, bring the wheelchair over. I want ¡¯ to go downstairs for a change of scenery..¡±
Chapter 122 - 122:122, Little Princess Eavesdropping

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Princess, the doctor says that your foot is injured and that you should probably avoid¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m so bored. Can you please wheel me around the garden downstairs for a half an hour?¡±
¡°But the sun is really strong today. You¡¯ll get sunburned easily.¡± Aunt Jiang tries to dissuade her.
With a sound, Mo Weiyi retorts, ¡°Isn¡¯t sunscreen made for this exact purpose? Get a nurse to find me an umbre as well.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡±
¡°Hurry up!¡±
¡°Yes, princess.¡±
All along, she had to rush to borrow an umbre.
**
Half an hourter, Aunt Jiang pushed Mo Weiyi downstairs.
Although she was wearing a hospital patient gown, she had done her makeup and applied lipstick while applying sunscreen, and she was holding a pink parasol.
She didn¡¯t look like a patient but rather, a princess on a day out.
Mo Weiyi raised her hand, pointing to ces she wanted to visit one after another. She had soon been to every corner of the small hospital garden and found herself thirsty.
¡°Aunt Jiang, go to Starbucks and get me a Matcha Frappino, half ice,¡± Mo Weiyi instructed.
A bit concerned, Aunt Jiang looked around, ¡°Princess, let me wheel you upstairs first. I don¡¯t feelfortable leaving you unattended.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. You just go buy it, I¡¯ll wait here for you.¡±
¡°Alright then,¡± Aunt Jiang relented, ¡°Princess, if anything happens, call me right away.¡±
Mo Weiyi raised an eloquent eyebrow, ¡°What could possibly happen? Hurry up.¡±
This is an exclusive hospital; who else could get in?
Once the maid leaves, she puts away the sunshade, and wheels herself to a shady spotplete with artificial hills and fountains. There are even some goldfish in the pond.
Carp,perhaps?
As she takes out her mobile to snap a few pictures for her social media, a sharp female voice suddenly came from behind the artificial hill.
¡°Why are you so ruthless? I¡¯m carrying your child! You actually want me to abort it?¡±
¡°Are you certain that child is mine?¡±
This voice?
Why does it sound so familiar?
Mo Weiyi cranes her neck and sees a man and woman standing behind the hill. Unable to clearly see their faces, but judging from their figures, they are probably both attractive.
¡°Want to deny it, do you?¡± the woman raged, ¡°I was your girlfriend two months ago. Have you forgotten the night we spent in Lidu Hotel?¡±
¡°Do you know,¡± the man¡¯s frivolous voice was slow and thick with scorn, ¡°that I¡¯ve been sterilized for thest six years?¡±
Fuck!
Sterilized?
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes rounded in surprise.
¡°It¡¯s not possible!¡± The woman was shocked as well, parroting in TV soap opera style, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, I don¡¯t believe it, you must be lying to me! You must be lying, right¡¡±
¡°Heh.¡± The man chuckled, ¡°Is that so? During these six years, I¡¯ve been with countless women, why is it only you happen to get pregnant?¡±
¡°But that night, you clearly¡¡±
¡°If you firmly believe the child is mine, give birth to it,¡± the man cut her off.
Surprised and excited, the woman replied, ¡°Really? Xiuhuang, I knew that you still loved¡¡±
But then,
¡°I will demand a paternity test. If it¡¯s not my child, then you may think today¡¯s weather is fantastic, the best you might ever see in your life. From then on, you will probably spend your days in some dark corner, staring at the dark ceiling¡ Want to know the fate of the woman who tried to trap me? Do you want to experience it yourself?¡±
After a flurry of footsteps, the woman was apparently scared off.
Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue.
So she¡¯s trying to use the child as leverage to marry into the Chu Family?
That¡¯s hriously naive.
¡°Little Princess, enjoying the eavesdropping?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Chu Xiuhuang already walked out from behind the artificial hill.
He wore a blue shirt, with both hands in his ck trousers¡¯ pockets. Tall and aloof, a half-smoked cigarette dangled from his thin lips, his phoenix eyes touched withughter as they stared at her.
Mov Weiyi blinked, and attempted to wheel away, but the man stepped forward, easily, yet effectively stopping her chair with his foot.
¡°You didn¡¯t be crippled after I identally hit youst time, did you?¡± His low, slightly mocking voice sounded again.
¡°You¡¯re the crippled one, your whole family is crippled!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s over-the-top reaction provoked another low chuckle, flicking the cigarette in his fingers a couple of times before saying, ¡°A cripple fits well with an unruly person like me, we make a perfect pair.¡±
Here ites again!
With a captivating cat gaze, Mo Weiyi stares at him, ¡°Can you please stop?¡±
¡°What did I do wrong?¡± Chu Xiuhuang raises an eyebrow, his yful pair of eyes even more frivolous.
Mo Weiyi, trying to remain patient, ¡°What happened before was nothing but a misunderstanding, you¡¡±
¡°What happened between you and me?¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupts him mid-sentence, ¡°What exactly happened between you and me?¡±
Mo Weiyi tightens his lips and squints as if feeling helpless, ¡°I know I¡¯m attractive, and I understand why you still can¡¯t get over not being able to be engaged to me. But I¡¯m married now, and the rtionship between Xiaobai and me is very strong. We love each other deeply, so I suggest you forget about what happened and forget about me. If you still can¡¯t forget¡¡±
After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Just consider me as your unrequited love, there are so many men who have an unrequited love for me, so one more won¡¯t matter.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang looks at the little woman in front of him.
She sits in a wheelchair, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown that brings out an air of sickly beauty. Her deep auburn curls flutter around her exquisite face. Chin raised high, and eyes slightly squinted.
That look, that posture, was beyond proud, mboyant, and self-confident.
¡°Pfft!¡± He finally couldn¡¯t help but burst outughing.
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
¡°Little Princess,¡± Chu Xiuhuang clears his throat, serious, ¡°you are indeed the most narcissistic woman I¡¯ve ever met.¡±
Mo Weiyi again:
¡°Although you are indeed very beautiful, but personally speaking, I prefer a woman with a 36D (cup size).¡± After saying this, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s gaze crudely drifts towards her.
Mo Weiyi is busy raising her hands to shield herself, who would have thought¡
¡°75B.¡±
In an instant, Mo Weiyi¡¯s cat eyes pop wide open.
How on earth does this man know her¡ measurements?
As a princess, she considers herself tall and slender, fine-boned, pretty-faced, and having smooth milky skin, which are all almost perfect. But the only thing she can¡¯t brag about¡
Is her bust size!
She used to be an A cup, after her marriage when she turned eighteen, it has gradually grown to a B cup.
Unlike Su Wanwan that little girl, who has arge bust, a slim waist and a perky butt, her figure is bursting and concave, which is so enviable.
Um, she¡¯s already twenty years old, it shouldn¡¯t continue to grow, right? Whining-
Although you can develop a little more by having a baby, Xiaobai still doesn¡¯t want her to be pregnant yet.
Xiaobai?
Mo Weiyi snaps back to reality and sternly retorts, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! Xiaobai doesn¡¯t care that I¡¯m small!¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Chu Xiuhuang bursts outughing once more.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s face reddens with anger, ¡°What are youughing at!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang removes his cigarette, throws it on the ground, and steps on it a couple of times, ¡°Alright, Little Princess, I have other matters to attend to, I must be going.¡±
¡°Wait.¡±
The man stops in his tracks, his pair of eyes ncing at her beautiful face, ¡°Is there anything else, Little Princess?¡±
Mo Weiyi looks at him looking unruly, and can¡¯t help but gossip, ¡°So, did you really get a vasectomy?¡±
His thin lips twitched a couple of times, then, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s expression reverted to his usual frivolousness, ¡°Why, Little Princess, you don¡¯t have a prejudice against men who¡¯ve had a vasectomy, do you?¡±
Mo Weiyi hurriedly waves her little hands, ¡°No, not at all, I won¡¯t look down on you, I swear!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang chuckles, ¡°Little Princess, don¡¯t worry, even if I¡¯ve had a vasectomy, I¡¯m still a normal man, I can still normally have¡¡±
¡°Boom,¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s face turns red as a beet.
As a woman, she felt that she was pretty flirtatious, but encountering this man, she suddenly feels incredibly pure!
Rolling her eyes, she¡¯s about to speak again when suddenly, a cold masculine voice echoes from behind.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Mo Weiyi quickly turns around.
Not far away, Xiao Yebai stands tall and long legged, dressed in a ck shirt and trousers, enhancing his cold and ruthless demeanor.
Although standing under the sun, an overbearing aura surrounds him as if shrouded by ayer of chilling air, forming a detached atmosphere.
Jiang Auntie stands beside him, her hands carrying a bag of beverages, her expression filled with astonishment and helplessness.
Um¡
Mo Weiyi blinks her beautiful cat eyes, ¡°Xiaobai, when did you get here?¡±
Xiao Yebai doesn¡¯t answer.
His gaze from behind the sses focuses on the still nonchnt man..

Chapter 123:123, who are you trying to flirt with your rustic pickup lines?
Trantor: 549690339 I
Chu Xiuhuang.
Heir to the Chu family, famously renegade bad boy of Nancheng.
He runs casinos, clubs, venture capital firms; he parties, drinks, and womanizes.
It¡¯s said that he changes girlfriends monthly, and the queue of women he¡¯s slept with could circle Nancheng several times over.
At twenty-nine, he possesses a face as handsome as any movie star¡¯s. His facial features are delicately beautiful, yet they don¡¯t make him seem effeminate.
On the contrary, one look would tell you he¡¯s not to be messed with.
The high society of Nancheng is well-aware of a so-called ¡°Crown Prince¡¯s
Party¡±,prised of notorious young masters from the wealthiest families.
The most arrogant and domineering among them is Chu Xiuhuang.
He loves stirring up trouble, and he¡¯s fearless in his exploits. In Nancheng, his name is synonymous with scandal.
He had been seen from afar, standing in front of Mo Weiyi¡¯s wheelchair, nonchntly and casually as if they were old friends catching up.
Hmph.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s ck eyes gradually turned icy.
For the first time, he witnessed Mo Weiyi enjoying thepany of another
man.
If he recalls correctly, two years ago, she almost became engaged to this man. The media described them as a ¡°match made in heaven¡±.
Chu Xiuhuang was watching him, and found something interesting¡
Amusement spread in his eyes. Could it be that he detected a flicker of¡
hostility in the eyes of this icy man?
With a raise of his eyebrows and a deliberately gentle tone full of suggestive warmth, Chu Xiuhuang said, ¡°Ah, little princess, since your husband came to pick you up, I, the third wheel, shall take my leave now. We can continue our discussion about breast augmentation next time.¡±
Having said that, he turned and swaggered away.
For Mo Weiyi, this left her feeling like she might be killed by him.
Looking at Xiao Yebai¡¯s cold demeanor, she tried to exin, ¡°Xiaobai, please don¡¯t misunderstand, I was just¡¡±
¡°No need to exin,¡± Xiaobai interrupted coldly.
Mo Weiyi was speechless.
¡°Aunt Jiang, wheel the princess back to her room,¡± ordered Xiao Yebai.
Aunt Jiang hurried over and handed Mo Weiyi a drink.
Mo Weiyi felt her mood change.
Was Xiaobai angry?
But she was still furious herself!
He lied to her about losing his cellphone and didn¡¯t join her at their hotel that night. Instead, he spent the whole evening in the hospital with Xiao Zhiwei.
Mo Weiyi considered herself reasonable and understanding. If Xiao Yebai had told her about Xiao Zhiwei, even with her dislike for Zhiwei, she wouldn¡¯t have forced him to spend their anniversary with her in the hotel.
Instead of exining Zhiwei¡¯s situation, he lied to her about losing his cellphone. What was his intention? Did he value his sister more than his wife?
Or does he think she, Mo Weiyi, was that domineering and heartless?
The angrier she became, the more silent she grew.
Aunt Jiang, pushing the wheelchair, didn¡¯t dare to speak.
The three of them awkwardly entered the elevator, then returned to the hospital room.
Xiao Yebai bent down and wordlessly lifted her onto the hospital bed.
Upon seeing his face so close, Mo Weiyi remembered when she used to think his aloofness was cool, reserved, and untouchable, making her want to pounce on him. But now¡
She scoffed internally, took out her cellphone, and dialed a number after climbing onto the bed.
After connecting the call, she deliberately sweetened her voice to ask, ¡°Baby, how are you?¡±
As expected, Xiao Yebai nced at her.
His gaze was still cold and indifferent.
On the phone, Su Wanwan replied, ¡°Just finished the admission procedures.¡±
¡°Why sote, darling? It¡¯s almost noon, is it hot out there?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s voice grew dubious, ¡°Mo Xiaose, are you on some kind of drug?¡± Still maintaining her provocative tone, Mo Weiyi responded, ¡°Just be careful, darling. Once I¡¯ve healed, I¡¯lle stay with you, and we can sleep together.¡± After saying this, she nced at Xiao Yebai, only to see him picking up his phone.
¡°Darling, are youing to the hospital to see me this afternoon?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
¡°As soon as I¡¯m settled, I will. What kind of fruits should I bring?¡±
¡°No need, darling. As long as youe to see me, I¡¯ll be happy. Love you, baby.¡±
On her end of the call, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t hide her look of utter bewilderment.
What was wrong with Mo Xiaose? Did she lose her mind when she fell? Her nauseatingly sweet tone was giving her goosebumps¡
¡°How much longer?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice suddenly rang out.
He had been busy all morning taking the two ¡°royalties¡± to finalise their school registration. His phone hadn¡¯t stopped ringing all morning; every so often, he had to pick up a call.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°You can go to thepany if you have something to do.¡±
She remembered him saying that he had a meeting at eleven. Being the head of such argepany as Huo Yuan, it was hard on him. After dropping off Fu Ziyang, he hade to escort her as well.
Huo Jingshen nced at the line in front of them.
Besides her, all the others were freshmen preparing to receive their housing necessities.
¡°I¡¯ll finish queuing once I get my things,¡± hinted Su Wanwan.
¡°No rush,¡± replied Huo Jingshen, the corners of his lips lifting slightly, ¡°You¡¯re my wife. Being with you is more important than attending a meeting with a bunch of old men.¡±
The girls in front of them instantly turned around upon hearing his words. ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Embarrassed, Su Wanwan choked.
Smelly man! Who is he flirting with cheesy lines like that?
About half an hourter, finally, it was Su Wanwan¡¯s turn.
In an attempt to annoy Fu Qi, she had gone out of her way to dress up for the day. In contrast to the freshmen girls around her, she wore a knee-length red floral dress, revealing her slender arms and attractive white legs..
Chapter 124 - 124:124, your husband isn’t a bad man, he doesn’t cheat.
Chapter 124:124, your husband isn¡¯t a bad man, he doesn¡¯t cheat.
Trantor: 549690339
Her long, seaweed-like hair waspletely spread out, ck and fluffy, with just the right amount of curly waves at the ends. She wore light makeup on her delicate oval face, her features were exquisite, her red lips eye-catching. Add to this a pair of bright, flirtatious phoenix eyes¡
In short, she was stunningly beautiful and captivating.
She attracted a lot of attention in the crowd.
The work of arranging and handing out items was handled by senior students. Thinking she was a naive freshman, and that she was so pretty, they were eager to assist her.
Once her items were packed, one brave soul even tried to strike up a conversation, ¡°Junior sister, what department are you in?¡±
¡°Journalism,¡± Su Wanwan replied with a warm smile.
¡°What a coincidence! I¡¯m in the Journalism department too. I¡¯m in my second year, so I¡¯m your senior. My name is¡¡±
¡°She¡¯s in her third year, she¡¯s your senior.¡± Huo Jingshen coldly interrupted.
Su Wanwan wanted tough, but then her hand was grabbed. Huo Jingshen swiftly lifted up the bag with one hand, and quickly led her away.
The man was mature and gentlemanly.
The girl was slender, sweet, and enticing.
At first nce, they looked like a match made in heaven.
The male students:
End.
Being pulled by him, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but steal nces.
It was amusing how the CEO of a listedpany, dressed in a shirt and tie, looking every bit the business giant, was carrying her military camouge bag for her.
But he seemed quitefortable with it, just like the first time she saw him cooking in the kitchen. Even though it was quite out of character, he seemed calm andposed, even elegant.
When they got to the girls¡¯ dormitory, since the third-year students had a day off before sses began, it was early and no one had arrived yet.
After putting down her bag, Su Wanwan began to shoo him off again, ¡°Go to yourpany meeting.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her with a serious expression.
¡°Uh, you still have to send Miss Fu home, right? Running back and forth, aren¡¯t you going to bete for yourpany meeting?¡± Su Wanwan kindly reminded him.
¡°She¡¯s already gone home on her own.¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan was surprised, ¡°You sent a young girl who¡¯s not even from China back home on her own? She doesn¡¯t know anyone here, what if she¡¯s in danger on the road?¡±
¡°So, baby, is this you testing me?¡± Huo Jingshen quirked an eyebrow.
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes innocently, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
Huo Jingshen replied earnestly, ¡°Darling, don¡¯t overthink. Your husband is clean, not a cheater.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°And she¡¯s only twenty-two. To me, she¡¯s just a kid.¡±
A kid?
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help retorting, ¡°I¡¯m two years younger than her, how can you¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re different.¡±
¡°In what way?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her with a meaningful look, ¡°You¡¯re my wife, no matter how young, you can keep my bed warm.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Damn it, you can¡¯t expect a decent word from his mouth!
**
**
There wasn¡¯t much to pack anyway. Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t stay for long and soon left. But when he returned to the parking garage, he found someone still standing by his car.
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡±
Fu Qi looked at him, her tone full of fear.
¡°Why haven¡¯t you left?¡±
¡°There are things I don¡¯t understand, Brother Jingshen, I want to ask¡¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t understand, don¡¯t think about it; better not to trouble yourself.¡± Huo Jingshen responded evasively and got into his car.
¡°Brother Jingshen.¡± Fu Qi quickly grabbed the car door, plucking up the courage to ask him, ¡°On my twentieth birthday, I confessed my feelings to you. You told me inly that you didn¡¯t like girls much younger than you, that there would be a generation gap, and that you saw me as a sister. But why now¡ why did you marry Su Wanwan? She¡¯s even two years younger than me.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no reason why.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was indifferent.
¡°But back then, I thought you liked Dong Manjiao, my brother told me that you were going to marry her. The Dong family gave you a twenty percent share and you were regarded as the future son-inw of Eastern Alliance. I knew that in any respect, I couldn¡¯tpare to Dong Manjiao. I didn¡¯t want to hinder your career, so I told myself to give up. But now, why have you¡¡±
¡°Fu Qi,¡± Huo Jingshen cut her off. ¡°I have an important meeting at eleven. Take a cab home. Also,¡±
His voice was so light that it was almost indifferent, ¡°I had Ji Jie purchase a ticket for you to return to the United Kingdom tomorrow. You can pack when you get home.¡±
Fu Qi¡¯s face paled instantly, ¡°Brother Jingshen, my brother wants me to stay in China for a few more days. Ziyang, he¡¡±
¡°Ziyang has already enrolled. He doesn¡¯t need you to worry about him.¡± Huo Jingshen casually nced at her fingers clutching the car door.
His eyes, as usual, were calm, his expression indifferent.
Fu Qi felt a chill in her heart and had to let go of her hand.
The ck Mu Shang roared away, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
She stood there, biting down hard on her lips, her eyes and eyebrows filled with indescribable grievances and unwillingness.
*
*
As soon as Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan felt like a wild child who had been given the wind, instantly cheerful!
After tidying up the bed, she looked at the time to set out for the hospital.
But just as she got up, a new person arrived at the dormitory.
¡°Hi, hello.¡±
Hearing the voice, Su Wanwan looked up at her..
Chapter 125 - 125:125, the female tyrant is back again.
Chapter 125:125, the female tyrant is back again.
Trantor: 549690339
Curly short hair, slim and long Danfeng eyes, wearing a thin spaghetti-strap tank top, with heavy makeup on, the entire person exuded a fiery and sexy aura.
¡°Have I seen you somewhere before?¡± The girl frowned, her Danfeng eyes full of astuteness and curiosity.
Su Wanwan lifted her eyebrows, ¡°Lin Qiao.¡±
Lin Qiao¡¯s expression changed, ¡°You¡ you¡¯re Su Wanwan?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
Lin Qiao immediately felt unwell.
They hadn¡¯t seen each other for two years, why did Su Wanwan suddenly return to the country?
She has changed so much and now they were living in the same dormitory?
¡°You live in this dormitory?¡±
As expected, Su Wanwan nodded.
Lin Qiao then asked, ¡°You also study journalism?¡±
Su Wanwan continued to nod.
Lin Qiao:¡±¡¡±
She bit her lip and suddenly, she let go of her suitcase and quickly walked up to Su Wanwan, her expression was a warning, ¡°Jiang Shuhao is my boyfriend now, he and us are in the same ss, you understand what I mean, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Who is Jiang Shuhao?¡± Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes.
¡°You don¡¯t remember him?¡± Lin Qiao¡¯s voice rose sharply, full of disbelief.
¡°Who is he, and do I need to remember him?¡± Su Wanwan felt very confused. She truly did not remember him.
The reason she remembered Lin Qiao was that they had the same ss in high school for three years and lived in the same dormitory for three years.
Lin Qiao¡¯s monolid phoenix eyes were very distinctive, leaving a deep impression on her.
They had fought before, it seemed to be about a matter rted to a boy writing a love letter¡
That wouldn¡¯t be that Shuhao, would it?
But now, she had no time to dwell on the past.
Su Wanwan quickly picked up her bag, ¡°I¡¯m leaving now.¡±
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Lin Qiao blocked her path, still with that intimidating tone, ¡°Didn¡¯t you go study abroad? Why are youing to South University? How did you get in? Can you transfer universities?¡±
Noment.¡± With a faint smile, Su Wanwan moved her arm away and left.
Lin Qiao stood there, so angry she stomped her foot.
Damn!
This woman hade back, and just happened to be in the same ss and dormitory with her, why was she so unlucky!

In the hospital ward.
After Mo Weiyi finished that call, he has been lying in bed ying with his cell phone.
Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa, busy working on his phone all the time.
After a ¡¯gurgling¡± sound, Mo Weiyi put down his phone, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°Princess, what do you want to eat?¡± asked Aunt Jiang immediately.
Mo Weiyi, however, was looking at Xiao Yebai, ¡°I want to eat crab roe Xiaolongbao from Shaoheji.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll order it right now¡¡±
¡°No!¡±
Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids.
Then he found that Mo Weiyi was looking at him, tilting her little chin, ordering, ¡°Xiaobai, I want to eat the crab roe Xiaolongbao from Shaoheji.¡± Xiao Yebai picked up his phone.
¡°I want you to go buy it for me personally.¡± Mo Weiyi pronounced word by word.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his tone was cold, ¡°Is there a difference?¡±
¡°Of course there is a difference. If you go buy it for me personally, it¡¯s your thoughtfulness. If you call to have it delivered, then your thoughtfulness would only be worth half of it, couldn¡¯t I just call and order myself?¡±
¡°Then you order it yourself.¡± Xiao Yebai said directly.
Mo Weiyi was immediately angry, ¡°No, I want you to go buy it for me.¡±
The tone of Xiao Yebai also turned colder instantly, ¡°I have a meeting at two.¡±
The implication was that he didn¡¯t have time.
Mo Weiyi snorted, and crossed her arms, ¡°Then I¡¯m not eating, let me starve!¡±
Xiao Yebai:
Aunt Jiang looked at the two of them and couldn¡¯t help but intervene,
¡°Princess, shall I go buy it for you?¡±
¡°No!¡± Mo Weiyi lifted her chin proudly, ¡°I only want to eat the one Xiaobai buys.
If Xiaobai doesn¡¯t buy it, I won¡¯t eat it.¡±
Xiao Yebai rubbed his temples, ¡°Mo Weiyi, can you stop being so willful?¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Mo Weiyi?
Since their marriage, he hasn¡¯t called her that.
Whenever he called her by her full name, it meant that he was angry.
But why was he angry?
She is starving and just wanted him to buy a hot crab roe Xiaolongbao, is that not allowed?
And the reason he refused her was always work!
Is work that important?
The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more upset she became, eventually giving in to despair, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m just this capricious. If you¡¯re unhappy, you don¡¯t have to buy it, go to work, go live with your work, why don¡¯t you let me starve?¡±
After saying that, she immediately lied down, staring at the ceiling with cat-like eyes.
Aunt Jiang was somewhat flustered.
Having served in the Mo family for two years, the princess was always pampered and rarely lost her temper. Although President Xiao didn¡¯t talk much, he hardly ever lost his temper either. This was the first time she saw the young couple arguing, but she didn¡¯t know how to mediate.
There was a moment of tension in the ward.
Then Xiao Yebai picked up his car keys and left.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Mo Weiyi pouted, tears streaming down her face.
¡°Princess¡¡±
¡°Get out!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Out!¡± Mo Weiyi said with a lilting cry.
¡°But¡¡±
¡°Just go! I don¡¯t want to see you!¡± She hit the pillow to the floor.
Frightened, Aunt Jiang quickly turned around and left, ¡°Alright, princess, I¡¯m going.¡±
When the door was closed again, Mo Weiyiy on her side, her long, curly, dark hair cascading down to cover her entire face.
Her soft sobs could be heard in the room.
At that moment, Mo Weiyi really felt she had been wronged..
Chapter 126 - 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me.
Chapter 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me.
Trantor: 549690339
She used to think that, regardless of whether Xiao Yebai liked her or not, as long as he stayed by her side, he was her man. Even if he was cold as ice every day, she was still happy, cheerful, and satisfied.
But today, she got hurt, and he wouldn¡¯t even be bothered to go buy crab dumplings for her himself.
Thinking of his impatient attitude just now, it was as if she was a domineering and unreasonable woman.
He had always been so frosty and silent. Was it because he was annoyed with her princess-like tantrums?
Fine, she would just continue then. After all, in his eyes, her image was just like that, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have lied about losing his phone previously.
New grudges and old grievancesbined made Mo Weiyi cry miserably. Eventually, she fell asleep with her tears still flowing.
She didn¡¯t know how much time had passed.
Through her daze, her cheek was bumped by something suddenly.
Warm, soft, and carrying a rich fragrance.
Mo Weiyi suddenly opened her eyes.
In front of her was the cold indifference and handsome features of Xiao Yebai.
He sat at the edge of her bed, his slender white fingers holding two chopsticks. A dumpling was pinched between them, and he was staring at her with an expressionless face.
Although he was still his calm and cool self, Mo Weiyi felt as if her heart was blown by the spring breeze of March. All grievances and annoyances disappeared in an instant, and her heart felt warm, sweet, and bubbled with little pink bubbles.
She couldn¡¯t help but curl up the corners of her mouth, her tone carrying a slight shyness and naivety of a young girl, ¡°Did you go to buy dumplings for me just now?¡±
Xiao Yebai responded with a nod.
That simple sentence was enough for Mo Weiyi to feelpletely healed.
She sat up, coquettishly said in a soft voice, ¡°Then you feed me.¡±
Xiao Yebai, with chopsticks in hand, brought the dumpling to her mouth.
Watching her open her small mouth and carefully bite into the thin wrap, followed by sucking the soup inside, his heart softened.
Her cheeks were flushed, there was slight redness around her eyes, and there were clear traces of wetness on hershes. It was clear she had been crying.
Xiao Yebai lowered hisshes, hiding the flicker of emotions that passed through his eyes.
¡°Delicious.¡± Mo Weiyi squinted her eyes in satisfaction after the meal.
Her favorite was the freshly made crab dumplings from Shaoheji, an old brand in Shanghai. They were particrly authentic, rich in crab roe, and the texture was fresh and delicious. Especially the soup inside, just one sip gave the feeling of being on cloud nine.
After eating two in a row, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, ¡°Xiaobai, aren¡¯t you eating?¡±
Xiao Yebai responded lightly, ¡°You eat first.¡±
Mo Weiyi noticed that there were still two boxes in the take-out bag beside her, presumably for him to eatter.
Xiaobai was so considerate and fed her first to keep her from starving.
But right when she finished her third dumpling, Auntie Jiang walked in. Xiao Yebai instructed, ¡°Auntie Jiang, please bring the porridge to room 2101.¡±
¡°Alright, Mr. Xiao.¡±
Auntie Jiang hurriedly left with the bag, but Mo Weiyi waspletely stunned.
Room 2101.
The room Xiao Zhiwei was staying in.
The porridge wasn¡¯t for him, it was for Xiao Zhiwei.
So when he held another dumpling with the chopsticks, she shoved it away, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anymore!¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Yebai frowned slightly.
Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and asked, ¡°You went to buy lunch for your sister, so you just bought the dumplings for me along the way, right?¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, slowly put down the chopsticks.
Seeing his silence as affirmation, Mo Weiyi immediately shouted angrily, ¡°Then go and coax your sister, why are you still coaxing me? Go away, I don¡¯t want to see you! Leave!¡±
Having said that, she turned around, her back towards him.
¡°Mo Weiyi.¡± Xiao Yebai called her name in a low voice, ¡°I have a meeting at two o¡¯clock.¡±
Mo Weiyi faced away from him, remaining silent.
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
¡°Knock-knock.¡± The door was suddenly knocked.
Su Wanwan stood at the door holding arge bouquet of lilies, her big eyes rolling around trying to peek inside.
The man stood up. Without uttering a word, he left the room with his phone.
Uh¡.
Su Wanwan waspletely puzzled as she walked in, noticing the half-eaten dumplings on the bedside table.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Hearing this voice, Mo Weiyi finally turned around, her small face filled with grievance, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re here.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you fight with your Xiaobai?¡±
Su Wanwan found this truly strange.
Even though Xiao Yebai was always cold and umunicative, indeed possessing the ability to leave people freezing or infuriated, she didn¡¯t expect that Mo Weiyi, with her adoring nature, would end up quarreling with him.
With a pout, Mo Weiyi nodded, ¡°Wanwan, I¡¯m about to be infuriated to death by him!¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
Mo Weiyi recounted the whole story. In the end, she picked up her chopsticks, bit into a juicy dumpling, and asked while chewing, ¡°Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s way out of line?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded, firmly siding with her friend, ¡°He indeed crossed the line!¡±
¡°He must be downstairs having dinner with his sister now!¡±
Uh, Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case, right?¡±
After all, one is his wife, and the other only his cousin¡
The next second.
Mo Weiyi dropped her chopsticks, ¡°Wanwan, help me. I¡¯m going downstairs to find him.¡±
¡°Uh? Didn¡¯t you hurt your leg? Wait for him toe back and then¡¡±
¡°No, I want to go now!¡±
Su Wanwan:
Just then, Aunt Jiang came back to the room.
¡°Aunt Jiang, bring the wheelchair over!¡± Mo Weiyi ordered.
The Little Princess was really unstoppable when she threw a tantrum.
When she sat in the wheelchair, Su Wanwan could only follow her downstairs.
Upon arriving at the door of room 2101, Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t knock and just pushed the door open.
Inside the sickroom, Xiao Zhiwei was sitting on the bed eating porridge.
The entire room was empty. Only she was there, no sign of Xiao Yebai.
Mo Weiyi instinctively looked towards the small kitchen.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xiao Zhiwei put down her bowl, her words dripping with sarcasm, ¡°Did the two guards bring the princess to inspect the room?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelid twitched.
This Xiao Yebai¡¯s cousin wasn¡¯t someone easy either.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together, even their icy tone was very simr.
¡°Where¡¯s Xiaobai?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
Xiao Zhiwei smiled, ¡°Did the princess make my brother run away?¡±
Seeing Mo Weiyi¡¯s face instantly clouding over, sheughed even more delightedly, ¡°I told you, my brother never liked you. You thought marrying him made him yours? A spoiled and willful woman like you, who only cares about her feelings and never consider others¡¯, the longer my brother stays with you, the more he¡¯ll dislike you. You can keep him by your side, but you¡¯ll never win his heart, how ludicrously foolish!¡±
Not to mention Mo Weiyi, even Su Wanwan felt a surge of anger upon hearing these words.
She advised, ¡°Weiyi, Xiaobai should have gone back to thepany. Why don¡¯t you call him and ask?¡±
¡°Aunt Jiang, push me in.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Aunt Jiang had already pushed the wheelchair into the room.
Su Wanwan could only follow in, ncing around at the stark contrast between this room and Mo Weiyi¡¯s. There weren¡¯t any flowers or gifts, everything was stark and cold. Even the curtains were drawn. Add in Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s gloomy face¡
All in all, it felt chilling.
The ring of a cell phone cut through the silence. Su Wanwan checked the caller ID to find that it was a call from Elder Mrs. Huo.
She hurriedly walked towards the door, ¡°Weiyi, I need to take this call.¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t respond.
She nced at the bowl of porridge on the table and the takeout box next to it, with the words ¡°Shaoheji¡± written on it.
She felt as if a hole had been hollowed out in her heart, and an icy wind blew through it, leaving her sour and astringent.
She looked at Xiao Zhiwei and gave a faint smile, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei was watching her as well.
Sigh, truly a spoiled little princess. Even in the hospital, she was wlessly perfect from head to toe.
Even now, with her injuries, even in the same blue and white hospital gown as her, she managed to give off abined sense of helpless beauty and haughty aloofness.
A surge of envy was rushing rapidly in her heart.
Every time she saw Mo Weiyi, she couldn¡¯t resist this feeling.
¡°Does the princess want to hit me again?¡± she provoked.
Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, her red lips curling into a proud smile, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei, when will you finally end your pathetic incestuous obsession with your brother? You were like this four years ago, went abroad for four years, and you¡¯re still the same! What, weren¡¯t those foreign men enough to satisfy your desires? You¡¯ve ruined your body and you¡¯re still making a scene?¡±
With a loud crash, Xiao Zhiwei overturned the bowl and the takeout box on the table..

She pointed at the door, pale and distorted, ¡°Get out, get out now!¡±
Her uninjured left foot was sshed with hot porridge, causing some pain.
Mo Weiyi just nced down at her. When he raised his eyes, a brighter smile spread over his face. ¡°Did I hit a nerve? Are you mad?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s hands were shaking uncontrobly.
The secret buried deep within her heart was suddenly revealed andid bare under the sun¡
She felt utterly humiliated.
Catching a glimpse of a dark shadow at the door, Xiao Zhiwei suddenly reached out and shoved at Mo Weiyi.
Of course, Mo Weiyi wouldn¡¯t just let her shove him. He immediately pushed her back instead.
Who knew¡
¡°Ah!¡± Xiao Zhiwei screamed, having tumbled off the other end of the bed.
Mo Weiyi was stunned by the unexpected event.
Was his push really that strong?
A woman¡¯s painful moan and anxious enquiries were heard. He tried to say something but¡
¡°Mo Weiyi!¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s cold voice rang out from behind.
*
*
Su Wanwan was taking a call in the corridor, but she couldn¡¯tprehend a word of what Mrs. Huo was saying.
In the end, Mrs. Huo concluded, ¡°In short, now that you¡¯re married to Ashen, you¡¯re the daughter-inw our Huo family acknowledges. Don¡¯t worry, no matter what, I¡¯ll make sure Ashen gives you an answer!¡±
Then she hung up.
A confused Su Wanwan put down the phone only to see doctors and nurses rushing out of the elevator and into Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s ward.
By the time Su Wanwan followed them in, the ward was in utter chaos.
She saw the curtain around the hospital bed drawn, a female doctor was urgently putting on gloves andmunicating something to the nurses, while Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s pained groans echoed from behind the curtains¡
The floor was scattered with spilled porridge and takeout bags. From her wheelchair, Mo Weiyi was rapidly exining, ¡°I didn¡¯t push her. She was the one pushing me. I didn¡¯t actually push her hard¡¡±
¡°Aunt Jiang, take the princess back.¡± Xiao Yebai cut her off.
His voice was deep and calm, concealing any emotional fluctuations.
Yet Mo Weiyi felt as though her heart was being ripped apart by his words. She was uneasy and agitated, trying frantically to defend herself. ¡°Xiaobai, everything I said is true. Don¡¯t you believe me? I really didn¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Aunt Jiang.¡±
Aunt Jiang, startled, quickly wheeled her away.
¡°The patient is bleeding!¡±
¡°Prepare swabs and hemostatic balls!¡±
¡°Quickly¡¡±
In the midst of the flurry of doctors, nurses, and medical equipment, the ward descended into chaos.
Su Wanwan looked at Xiao Yebai.
Compared to the others, he was standing still, his expressionless face making him seem detached and horrifyingly calm.
A chill ran down her spine, prompting Su Wanwan to quickly leave the scene.
At the elevator entrance, Aunt Jiang was waiting, pushing the wheelchair.
¡°Weiyi, what happened?¡± Su Wanwan asked as she caught up to them.
Mo Weiyi was slumped and silent.
¡°Aunt Jiang, what happened?¡±
Aunt Jiang then mumbled, ¡°I didn¡¯t quite see what happened. The princess and Miss Xiao were just talking when Miss Xiao suddenly fell off the bed, and Mr. Xiao saw it all.¡±
¡°Weiyi, is what Aunt Jiang said the truth?¡±
Mo Weiyi kept her head down and remained silent.
It was only when they reached her room and while Aunt Jiang was helping her into bed, did Mo Weiyi finally say, ¡°It hurts.¡±
¡°Where does it hurt?¡± Su Wanwan hurriedly asked.
Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows and fell silent again.
Where did it hurt?
Right now, all she felt was a pain in her heart.
Especially thinking about the fact that Xiao Yebai did not listen to her exnation at all made her heart ache as if it were being cut open.
¡°Princess.¡± Aunt Jiang suddenly eximed in rm. ¡°You¡¯ve hurt your foot?¡±
*
*
In the ward downstairs.
The female doctor finally emerged from behind the curtain.
She took off her gloves and rebuked Xiao Yebai, ¡°What did I tell you before? Pregnant women need to rest in bed after an abortion. The uterus wall has suffered severe damage, and the body is extremely weak. You need to stay in bed for at least three days and not move around! Can¡¯t you discuss things peacefully? Did you have to make such a fuss that she fell off the bed? Are you okay with not having a baby in the future? You can rest easy now. There¡¯s no chance of having one!¡±
¡°Doctor,¡± Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s voice was weak and trembling, ¡°Does this mean I can¡¯t have children in the future?¡±
¡°Now you regret it. Where was this remorse before¡¡± The doctor¡¯s words were cut off by Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s crying.
Xiao Zhiwei started crying uncontrobly and nearly hysterically without any warning.
Feeling sorry for her, the doctor could only sigh and console her, ¡°Stop treating your body like a joke. Cooperate with us in your treatment and recover first. It¡¯s notpletely hopeless in the future.¡±
Once the doctors and nurses left the room, Xiao Zhiwei leaned back on the bed and began toin, ¡°Brother, it was Mo Weiyi. She deliberately pushed me off the bed.¡±
Xiao Yebai was still standing in his original position, in contrast to her agitated voice, his voice was calm and devoid of any emotional ripples.. ¡°How exactly did she push you?¡±
Chapter 128 - 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot!
Chapter 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot!
Trantor: 549690339
¡°She thought you wereing to see me, so she brought her servant to find me, said a lot of nasty things, I got angry and argued with her, then she pushed me. I had just had surgery, and I had absolutely no strength, so she pushed me off the bed,¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her without saying a word.
Because he was wearing sses and the curtain was just pulled open, the light that came in was reflected off the lenses, making it unclear, and it was impossible to make out his expression.
The unknown made Xiao Zhiwei feel nervous.
She lowered her head, and covered her face with both hands, ¡°The doctor said that I can never have children again. It¡¯s all her fault! She hates me, so she purposely pushed me¡¡±
With that, the woman couldn¡¯t help but start to sob softly.
¡°If you knew she hated you, why did you deliberately argue with her?¡±
The man¡¯s indifferent words made Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s shoulders stiffen up.
She raised her face, unable to resist asking, ¡°Does this mean, brother, you are ming me now?¡±
¡°She was the one who pushed me off the bed, why are you ming me for starting an argument with her?¡± Xiao Zhiwei couldn¡¯t control her anger. ¡°Indeed, I argued with her, but is that really all my fault? You¡¯ve known her for so long, she is like a spoiled princess, she thinks the world has to revolve around her, otherwise she throws a tantrum! But you are ming me? Brother, why do you always protect her? Why¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t protect her.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was still indifferent, but his words made Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s face change instantly.
He said, ¡°I just believe her.¡±
The ward fell into a deadly silence.
It was a while before Xiao Zhiwei managed to ask, trembling, ¡°So, brother, you mean she didn¡¯t push me, I am lying? I intentionally made myself fall off the bed, risking my own body, and making sure I can never get pregnant again, can never be a mother?¡±
Xiao Yebai stood there, unmoving.
In fact, from the moment he stepped into the room, aside from ordering Aunt Jiang to call the doctor, then asking her to take Mo Weiyi away, his posture hadn¡¯t changed at all.
He was wearing a ck shirt and trousers, his figure was indifferent but emitted a sense of loneliness.
No matter how chaotic the surroundings are, he never showed any emotional fluctuations, like a cold-blooded creature, radiating a ¡°keep out¡± aura.
¡°Xiao Zhiwei,¡± Xiao Yebai suddenly reached out and took off his sses.
He held the sses with his slender, fair fingers, his eyshes drooping, and spoke in a low voice, ¡°Did I tell you that she injured her foot when she slipped in the bathroomst night, fractured her toe, had a splint on it, and couldn¡¯t move.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s face went pale as if she was losing coloryer byyer.
Xiao Yebai continued, word by word, exining, ¡°And she was sitting in a wheelchair at the time, at arm¡¯s length from your bed. Like you said, she¡¯s a delicate princess. She doesn¡¯t have the strength to push you directly off the bed.¡±
A slight breeze blew in from the outside.
Xiao Zhiwei felt cold as if waves of chills were hitting her.
Even though it was just early September and the sun was shining brightly outside, she couldn¡¯t stop trembling, and her heart was beating furiously.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice continued to echo in the room, ¡°The Mo Family arranged a maid for you, but you drove her away and had her call me saying you had a stomachache and couldn¡¯t eat, and tried to persuade me to buy you porridge.¡± ¡°Brother, it¡¯s true my stomach hurts, I really couldn¡¯t eat the hospital food¡¡± Xiao Zhiwei raised her voice to exin, but just as she lifted her eyes to meet his,¡
Without the sses¡¯ disguise, the man¡¯s eyes were deep and dark, with dense eyshes. They were very deep, beautiful, but cold, showing no warmth.
He looked straight at her, his gaze sharp and indifferent, as if he could see through people¡¯s hearts.
Xiao Zhiwei felt a tightness in her chest, she closed her mouth, unable to speak.
¡°If you want to continue to recuperate here, keep your intentions in check, behave yourself, and don¡¯t provoke her again. Otherwise, I¡¯ll call your parents and have theme to take care of you.¡±
¡°No!¡± Afraid, Xiao Zhiwei blurted out, ¡°Brother, I beg you, don¡¯t tell them, brother¡¡±
Xiao Yebai did not say anything more.
He put his sses back on, put his hands back into his pockets, and the elite man¡¯s demeanor was restored.
Then, he turned around and left.
**
Mo Weiyi¡¯s foot was not seriously scalded, the porridge wasn¡¯t that hot, so the skin wasn¡¯t broken.
After the doctor applied the burn ointment and bandaged the wound, he gave some precautions.
Mo Weiyi sat on the hospital bed, looking at both of her small feet wrapped in white bandages, her lips pouting to the sky in anger.
¡°Weiyi, did you really get in a fight with that Xiao Zhiwei?¡± Su Wanwan could not resist the curiosity inside her.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, her mood seemed to have eased a bit. After the doctor left, she eventually told the story of what had happened.
At the end, she said, ¡°Wanwan, I really only pushed her lightly.¡±
Su Wanwan nodded, ¡°I believe you.¡±
Although Mo Weiyi was a bit of a princess, she knew right from wrong when it came to important issues.
Having known her for over a decade, unless someone deliberately provoked her, she wouldn¡¯t harm someone for no reason.
After all, with her kitten-like strength, who could she possibly hurt? Especially when she¡¯s injured her foot.
¡°But Xiaobai doesn¡¯t believe me.¡±
This was what upset Mo Weiyi the most.
Of course, Su Wanwan knew how much Mo Weiyi cared for Xiaobai, so she immediately said, ¡°Weiyi, if your Xiaobai really doesn¡¯t believe you, thinking that you pushed him off the bed, then unless he¡¯s blind, he must be an idiot!¡±
As she spoke passionately, Mo Weiyi was staring nkly behind her as if frozen.
Sensing that something was off, Su Wanwan quickly turned around.
As expected.
The ¡°idiot¡± she had mentioned just walked in from outside.
Su Wanwan blinked, cursing inwardly.
What the hell, howe this guy is just like Huo Jingshen, walking without making a sound?
Luckily, Xiao Yebai just nced at her indifferently before picking up his phone and car keys from the coffee table.
¡°I have a meeting at thepany. Aunt Jiang, I¡¯ll be bothering you with the things here.¡±
Even his voice was cold!
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi called out intively.
The man paused but didn¡¯t turn around, ¡°I have an important meeting at 2 o¡¯clock. We¡¯ll talk about other things when I get back.¡±
Having said that, he left.
Su Wanwan touched her racing heart in relief.
Damn it, who was he trying to scare with that poker face?
Huo Jingshen was still better; at least he wasn¡¯t this cold.
She wasn¡¯t even aware that she had started to subconsciouslypare other men with Huo Jingshen.
And then, as if the idiom ¡°speak of the devil, and he shall appear¡± came true, her phone rang. And it was that man who called.
¡°Weiyi, I¡¯m going to take a call.¡±
**
Su Wanwan answered the call in the corridor, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Did Grandma call you?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Thinking of the bizarre things Mrs. Huo said, Su Wanwan quickly asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Nothing much,¡± Huo Jingshen replied casually, ¡°I picked up Ziyangst night, and reporters took pictures of us, creating some misunderstandings.¡±
¡°I see.¡± So that¡¯s why Mrs. Huo kept apologizing¡!! was awkward.
Huo Jingshen changed the topic, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up from school tonight. Zhexi¡¯s parents are back, let¡¯s have dinner together.¡±
¡°Ah? But I¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s settled. I¡¯m busy now.¡± Saying so, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone.
Damn it!
Su Wanwan red at her phone.
She had just praised him a moment ago, and now he was being domineering. Indeed, all men are damn chauvinists!

Huo Yuan Group.
As soon as Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, another call from Grandma Huo came in.
¡°Grandma.¡±
¡°Ah Shen, did you really tell me the truth just now?¡± Mrs. Huo sounded skeptical, ¡°I must remind you, if you ever do anything to hurt WanWan, I won¡¯t hesitate to punish you myself!¡±
Huo Jingshen massaged his temple, sounding helpless, ¡°Grandma, I have a meeting soon.¡±
Mrs. Huo apparently ignored his words, ¡°I specially dug out old photo albums just now. Good Lord, that child looks so much like you.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
¡°Ah Shen, are you listening to me? That child looks like you¡¡±
¡°He is my friend¡¯s son, as for why he looks like me,¡± Huo Jingshen calmly spoke his narcissistic thoughts, ¡°maybe it¡¯s because good-looking people tend to look alike.¡±
Mrs. Huo was speechless for a moment:¡±¡¡±
Right after hanging up, his phone rang again.. This time, it was from Nangong Ci, ¡°Well done, big brother, you¡¯ve made it to the headlines of the entertainment magazine!¡±
Chapter 129 - 129:129, attractive people tend to look similar.
Chapter 129:129, attractive people tend to look simr.
Trantor: 549690339 ,
Huo Jingshen¡¯s brow twitched.
He hung up the phone and opened WeChat.
As expected, the WJY WeChat group was in chaos.
Chu Xiuhuang sent a news link, ¡°Big brother¡¯s infidelity stole my headline.¡± Nangong Ci said, ¡°All the female fans of the Fire Emperor Society must be crying. Brother Fire Emperor hasn¡¯t been caught with his girlfriend in a hotel this month?¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°Wasn¡¯t the recent femalepanion beautiful enough?
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°It¡¯s because the secretary¡¯s taste has declined.
Nangong Ci: ¡°You should urge your secretary to improve the quality of the femalepanions! It¡¯s embarrassing!
Lu Chenyu: ¡°Scumbag.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Who the hell are you calling a scumbag, Fourth?¡±
Lu Chenyu: ¡°Heh.¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°Something¡¯s wrong with Fourth! Second brother, did you do something against Fourth again?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Screw you!¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°Hahahaha.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°ming me for not being able to marry a woman, it seems I¡¯m also to me for him being single right?¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°We had agreed to be ¡®bros before hoes¡¯, but it seems like only Fourth is sticking to it. Big brother is busy cheating, second brother is busy changing girlfriends, and I¡¯m busy performing surgeries.¡±
Ming Jing: ¡°I am busy developing new software.¡±
Lu Chenyu: ¡°Heh.¡±
After a few seconds, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message with a ¡°smile¡± emoji.
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°Shit, big brother is here.¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°Big brother must be upset on the inside, but still has to keep a smile on his face.¡±
Putting down his phone, Huo Jingshen reached for the inte, ¡°Come in.¡± Shortly, the office door opened and Ji Jie rolled in uneasily, ¡°President Huo, the meeting room is ready¡¡±
¡°How did you handle that report?¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted impatiently.
Ji Jie quickly responded, ¡°President Huo, as soon as the report was released this afternoon, I contacted the magazine¡¯s person in charge. They¡¯ve pulled all the magazines ready for distribution, and enlisted their magazine¡¯s official Weibo ount to apologize. The intern reporter has been fired, and we¡¯re working on deleting and screening the online report. The person responsible from the newspaper also wants toe personally deliver an apology this afternoon¡¡± Huo Jingshen looked at him, indifferent, ¡±1 was asking what you didst night.¡± Ji lie¡¯s legs wobbled, ¡°President Huo, I deleted all the pictures from her camerast night. I didn¡¯t expect she had used her phone to take them.
¡°You didn¡¯t expect?¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
¡°That was my negligence at work, I promise it won¡¯t happen again¡
¡°There¡¯s a next time?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his other eyebrow too.
Ji Jie was on the verge of tears, almost dropping to his knees, ¡°President Huo, just say it. Whatever punishment you want. It¡¯s all my fault.¡±
Please, just put me out of my misery!
With each word he uttered, he felt as if he were being meticulously tortured by
a cold-hearted demon. His poor heart couldn¡¯t take much more.
¡°This month¡¯s sry will be deducted. Your performance next month will determine the consequences,¡± Huo Jingshen stood up after speaking. ¡°Go to the meeting room.¡±
¡°Thank you, President Huo.¡±
After all thismotion, Huo Jingshen, who never camete to work ever since he took office, was remarkablyte for the executive meeting for the first time today.
*
*
The meeting didn¡¯t finish until 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon.
Huo Jingshen had just returned to his office.
¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
Ji Jie walked in after knocking on the door, ¡°The relevant person in charge of ¡°Entertainment Weekly¡± hase. What do you think¡¡±
¡°Send them away.¡±
¡°Understood, Mr. Huo.¡± Ji Jie immediately went out to execute the order. Huo Jingshen picked up his phone, sent a message on WeChat, ¡°Baby, wait for me at the school.¡±
A few secondster, Su Wanwan replied, ¡°Come pick me up at Nangong
Hospital.¡±
Huo Jingshen called immediately, ¡°Baby, are you hurt?¡±
¡°No.¡± Su Wanwan was confused. ¡°Weiyi got hurt, I came here to apany her.¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome brows lifted slightly, ¡°I thought you got into a fight on your first day at school.¡±
At his words, the little girl wasn¡¯t pleased,unching a counterattack, ¡°What the hell do you mean by that? Do I look like someone who picks fights? Who¡¯s the one provoking me every time? So, I can¡¯t defend myself when someone hits me or curses at me?¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
Presumably because he had finished all his work and had some spare time, he began to preach, ¡°There¡¯s a solution to everything, but if all resolutions depend on violence, that is the behavior of a brute¡¡±
¡°I am a brute! If you despise me, just divorce me!¡± After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
This girl, dare to hang up on him?
This is getting out of line!

At the hospital.
Su Wanwan huffed back into the sickroom.
¡°Wanwan, look how cute my turtles are. The emerald one is Xiao Xiaobai, and the ck one is Xiao Baibai.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°Ugly as hell!¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Her phone dinged, it was a WeChat message from Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen: ¡°Do you know the consequences of hanging up on me?
Then he added a trademark ¡°smile¡± emoji.
Who¡¯s he trying to scare?
Su Wanwan pouted, unimpressed.
¡°Knock, knock, knock,¡± there was a knock on the door.
¡°Princess.¡± Zhong Kai entered, dressed in a sleek ck suit and wearing a standard smile.
Two men, simrly d in suits, followed him carrying arge wooden crate. After setting it down, they both nodded politely to Mo Weiyi as if vassals before their queen.
Mo Weiyi blinked her sparkling cat eyes. ¡°What brings you here?
¡°Princess, this is a gift Mr. Xiao sent us to deliver to you,¡± Zhong Kai politely announced..
Chapter 130 - 130:130, Your Highness the Princess, you really are a genius at naming.

A gift?
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes sparkled.
Did Xiaobai actually send her a gift?
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Two little Labradors.¡±
The moment she finished speaking, the sound of puppies whining came from the box.
¡°Ahhhhhh!¡±
Su Wanwan, who was sitting on the sofa, was so scared by the sound that she jumped up screaming.
¡°Wanwan, don¡¯t be afraid. They¡¯re puppies, they won¡¯t bite.¡± Mo Weiyi stretched out her small hand andmanded, ¡°Quick, bring them over to me.¡±
¡°Yes, princess.¡±
But Su Wenwen picked up her bag and dashed for the door without looking back, ¡°Weiyi, I¡¯m leaving first.¡±
¡°Princess, your friend¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine, she has cynophobia.¡± said Mo Weiyi, her attention already drawn to the two adorable Labradors.
One is white all over, and the other has a bit of yellow pattern. They are newborn puppies, nestled together sleeping with eyes half-closed. They are fluffy and chubby, too cute for words.
Did Xiaobai read her mind?
She was just looking at cute puppy pictures onlinest night.
Mo Weiyi felt her heart melt in an instant. She raised her face and asked with a soft voice, ¡°What did Xiaobai tell you?¡±
Zhong Kai thought quickly, ¡°In reply to your highness, Mr. Xiao told me to buy two puppies, easy to raise and mild-tempered. I think he saw that you were bored by yourself in the hospital room because of your foot injury, so he told me to deliver them here. Mr. Xiao really cares about you, princess. I¡¯ve been with him for over two years, and this is the first time I¡¯ve seen him prepare a gift for you with such care. He even specifically told me not to reveal it, probably wanting to surprise you¡¡±
He rambled on and on, as long as he was praising Mr. Xiao, he was good.
The more he spoke, the happier Mo Weiyi seemed.
In the end, she lifted her chin proudly and officially named them, ¡°The white one will be called Bai Xiaobai, and the one with the flower color will be called Hua Xiaobai.¡±
Zhong Kai:
Princess, you are such a genius at naming.
I just wonder what Mr. Xiao might think if he knew that his name is so simr to that of the dogs?

Su Wanwan decided to wait in the coffee shop upstairs as Huo Jingshen should being to pick her up soon.
Who would have thought that as she reached the top floor and the elevator doors opened, a pair of white lotus mother and daughter were standing outside.
She nced at them and looked away, but they did not seem willing to let her go.
¡°Oh, who is this?¡± Su Yanyan exaggeratedly eximed.
Su Wanwan walked straight towards the coffee shop, but Su Yanyan walked up to block her way, ¡°Su Wanwan, have you no manners? Can¡¯t you even greet my mother?¡±
Su Wanwan was forced to stop.
She looked at Jiang Yi, who were evidently primed to perfection, and said in surprise, ¡°So it¡¯s you, auntie. You¡¯re dressed so ostentatiously, I didn¡¯t recognize you. I guess my dad wouldn¡¯t dare to im you either right if he saw you?¡±
Jiang Yi¡¯s face froze.
What woman doesn¡¯t love looking beautiful?
Moreover, she had just turned forty, and the color of her dress today was her favoriteke green, which wasn¡¯t shy, was it?
But Su Wenwen¡¯sment made her seem like she was immodest.
¡°Dad personally drove us over here just now,¡± Su Yanyan, who did not understand, retorted and then continued her sarcastic remarks, ¡°In contrast, your husband is party to an affair and even has an illegitimate child. Yet you¡¯re still being defiant here.¡±
She took out a magazine from her bag, her expression smug, ¡°Luckily, I immediately bought a copy just now. In a while, I reckon they will all be confiscated by the Huo family.¡±
She had always thought that there was no way a big shot like Huo Jingshen, who came from abroad, could possibly fall for Su Wanwan, someone of such bad repute. The rushed marriage must have had some unspeakable secret behind it!
As expected, today the secret was exposed by the magazine. Huo Jingshen had been having an affair and even had a son in the United Kingdom. His marriage to Su Wanwan was probably just for fun. Soon enough, she will be kicked out by the Huo family.
Su Wanwan nced at the magazine in her hand.
It was the most popr ¡°Entertainment Weekly¡± in Nancheng, with the red headline on the cover, ¡°Huo Yuan¡¯s Heir Seen in Airport Picking up Mistress and Illegitimate Child, Is Marriage in Jeopardy?¡±
Upon looking at the corresponding picture below, Su Wanwan almost burst outughing.
So, they were indeed secretly photographed at the airportst night.
The mistress in the picture was Fu Qi, and the so-called illegitimate son was Fu Ziyang.
¡°Well, you could only put up a brave front, right?¡± Su Yanyan kept mocking, ¡°In a few days, when you get kicked out by the Huo family, I want to see if you can stillugh then!¡±
She thought Su Wanwan would fly into a rage out of humiliation, but on the contrary¡
¡°Are you done? If you¡¯re done, get lost. Don¡¯t block my way.¡±
Seeing her nonchnt demeanor, Su Yanyan became suspicious, ¡°What are you doing at the hospital today?¡±
Isn¡¯t it the first day of school today? Shouldn¡¯t she be at school? Unless¡
Su Yanyan shrieked, ¡°Did you go downstairs to find Yuyun again, you shameless woman? On one hand, you call Yuyun a dog, while on the other hand you try to hook up with him secretly¡¡±
¡°You just called your Yuyun a dog, do you know what I despise the most?¡± Su Wanwan cut her off with a mocking smile, ¡°The thing I despise the most is dogs, especially scummy dogs like Xing Yuyun who can¡¯t keep it in his pants!¡± ¡°How dare you insult Yuyun¡¡±
¡°Yanyan!¡± Jiang Yi pulled on her daughter, suppressing her dislike and trying to cate her, ¡°Wanwan, Yanyan is pregnant now.. Can¡¯t you be a bit more considerate?¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°If you¡¯re pregnant, you need to stop being so dramatic. Aren¡¯t you afraid of negatively influencing the fetus?¡± After saying this, Su Wanwan let out a coldugh. ¡°Right, I should be more considerate of you, so you don¡¯t stress the fetus. If you end up being attacked on the off chance that Xing Yuyun takes advantage of another underage girl, it might be more than just a few broken ribs next time. If something happens to his private parts, it could even lead to an end of his bloodline!¡±
Seeing the disgusted expressions on the two¡¯s faces, Su Wanwan was pleased. She turned and walked into the coffee shop without looking back.
Every time she saw this mother-and-daughter, it was always a verbal fight, such a waste of breath.
She was thirsty. She needed to quickly get a milk tea to quench her thirst.
Su Yanyan was furious, ¡°Mom, did you see that? She just cursed me¡¡±
¡°Stop talking.¡± Jiang Yi was overwhelmed with a headache. ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs, Dr. Zhou is waiting for us.¡±
That damned girl Su Wanwan, her sharp tongue never spared anyone. She was exactly like Ya Jin from back in the days!
*

Once they got in the elevator, Su Yanyan bit her lips, suddenly saying, ¡°Mom, grandmother talked about me suspending school again when I went to register this morning.¡±
Jiang Yi froze. ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree that it¡¯d be fine as long as the driver takes you to school every day?¡±
¡°They are worried about the baby.¡± Su Yanyan¡¯s face was a bit panicked. ¡°What am I going to do, mom? Ever since Su Wanwan returned home, Yuyun hasn¡¯t touched me, not even on our wedding night. He even slept on the sofa. Now, he was injured and he¡¯ll be out of town for a job once he recovers. I don¡¯t even have a chance to sleep with him.¡±
Jiang Yi, naturally knowing what her daughter was worried about, quicklyforted her, ¡°Rx. It¡¯s normal not to show in the early months of pregnancy. Dr. Zhou is a close friend of mine, she¡¯ll surely help us keep the secret.¡±
¡°But¡ I get asked all sort of questions every time we eat at home. I am afraid sooner orter they¡¯ll find out.¡± Su Yanyan toughened up, ¡°That bitch Su Wanwan just cursed my baby. I bet she can¡¯t wait for me to have a miscarriage.¡± Jiang Yi looked at her daughter, ¡°Yanyan, what are you thinking?¡±
¡°Mom, I thought of a good n.¡± Su Yanyan covered her mouth and whispered something into Jiang yi¡¯s ear.
Jiang Yi drew in a sharp breath, ¡°Yanyan, you can¡¯t mess with such things.¡±
¡°I have no choice. I need to get a pregnancy test this afternoon, my inws are notfortable, they always have loads to say. If this goes on, they¡¯ll suspect me sooner orter.¡± Su Yanyan said, her eyes welling up with tears, ¡°Mom, I really thought that it would be easy to get pregnant once married to Yuyun. Even if the timing is off by a month or so, no one will notice. But who knew this would happen¡ What can I do? If I don¡¯t do this, I¡¯ll be exposed one day!¡±
¡°But Su Wanwan practically never goes back to the Su family¡¯s home now, and you¡¯re living at the Xing Family home. When would you two have the chance to¡¡±
¡°Mom, did you forget? Grandfather¡¯s birthday ising up soon.¡±
Grandpa Su¡¯s seventieth Birthday falls on Teacher¡¯s day, the 10th of September.
Because of his poor health, grandpa didn¡¯t want to have a big celebration, but all the younger generation of the Su Family would have to attend.
Naturally, this included Su Wanwan.
¡°Yanyan, you absolutely must not act rashly.¡± Jiang Yi advised, ¡°Last time, you didn¡¯t tell me what you were going to do and ended up getting bitten back by her at the wedding. If Mrs. Xing hadn¡¯t suddenly fainted and been sent to the hospital, who knows what kind of scandal would have erupted. Even Siqing was hurt by her¡ She¡¯s not the same Su Wanwan from two years ago; plus, she has the Huo Family backing her now.¡±
¡°Mom, Huo Jingshen has an illegitimate child. Do you think the Huo Family will still back Su Wanwan? Perhaps because of this, the Huo Family views her in an even worse light. When that happens, won¡¯t we kill two birds with one stone?¡±
The more Su Yanyan thought about it, the more usible it seemed, ¡°Moreover, we also have Dr Zhou, who is a gynaecologist. What is there to be scared of? After we meet Dr. Zhou, tell her beforehand and just gloss over the matter. Isn¡¯t it a simple thing? Only the three of us will know, if you don¡¯t tell, I won¡¯t tell, she won¡¯t tell, then who will know?¡±
Jiang Yi¡¯s forehead creased into a frown.
Until they reached the eighth floor and the elevator doors opened, she finally said slowly, ¡°Let me think about it.¡±

Six in the evening.
Su Wanwan received Huo Jingshen¡¯s WeChat message and immediately went downstairs.
Upon reaching the entrance of the hospital, she saw his ck car parked from afar.
Walking over and pulling open the car door, a strong smell of smoke immediately wafted out.
Su Wanwan sat in the car, holding her nose andining disdainfully, ¡°So annoying, could you smoke less? It stinks of smoke all day long. Are you the reincarnation of a smoking ghost? Can¡¯t you have some manners?¡±
Huo Jingshen crushed the cigarette in his hand, gave her a sidelong nce, reached out without saying anything and pulled her into his arms.
Su Wanwan even struggled feebly for a bit before giving up.
What could she do?
In any case, she couldn¡¯t beat him!
In any case, she wasn¡¯t stronger than him¡
After he finally let go, he said, ¡°Did my baby drink milk tea just now?¡±
Su Wanwan could only re at him.
What an asshole!
His fingers with distinct joints lightly pinched her soft little chin, his voice was low yet threatening, ¡°You dare toin about your husband smoking? If you do that again, eachint will result in this kind of punishment.¡± ¡°Shameless!¡± Su Wanwan spat out, taking out a makeup mirror from her bag and preparing to touch up her lipstick, but who knew¡.

¡°Help wipe hubby¡¯s mouth.¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t budge, ¡°Don¡¯t you have hands? Wipe it yourself!¡±
Huo Jingshen leaned threateningly close to her, looking dangerous, ¡°Are you helping hubby wipe, hmm?¡±
Su Wanwan hurriedly shoved him away, ¡°Fine, fine, I¡¯ll wipe it for you now.¡±
Mmph.
She really owes him!
Resigned, Su Wanwan took out a tissue.
Very carefully and meticulously, she wiped off all the red lipstick that had got onto him.
Huo Jingshen enjoyed the care from the young girl while he continued to intimidate her, ¡°Hung up on me this afternoon and now, dare to disobey? Do you know hubby only has so much patience, hmm?¡±
¡°I get it, I get it! Done, go ahead and drive, be good.¡± Su Wanwan patted his shoulder,ughing appeasingly.
Huo Jingshen seemed to be very pleased.
He squinted his eyes and finally returned to the driver¡¯s seat to drive off.
Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She now realized that Huo Jingshen was a total child!
Noble and elegant, full of grace, pah!
Clearly a dude in his thirties but acting like a three-year-old child, always trying to scare her!
However, generally in such situations, appeasing him was a better option.
Because this man can be coerced but not forced.
Hmm.
Actually, this was quite simr to herself.
*

Forty minutester, they arrived at the Lan Zhuang Club near the West Fourth Ring.
They moved through a winding corridor filled with awe-inspiring famous calligraphy and paintings, each one a top-quality piece.
Huo Jingshen walked while introducing the guests to the youngdy, ¡°There are a total of eight people having dinner tonight¡¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it seven?¡±
¡°Zhexi¡¯s elder brother is back.¡±
Huo Zhexi¡¯s brother?
The second son of the Huo Family?
He wouldn¡¯t be a good-for-nothing like Huo Zhexi, would he?
When she entered the private room led by the waiter, Su Wanwan immediately noticed a man sitting on the sofa.
It wasn¡¯t like she was particrly interested, but¡
In thisvish VIP room, his olive-green uniform was eye-catching.
This was the first time she¡¯d seen a man in such a unique profession up close, and he was quite handsome.
Of course, her husband was handsome enough, as were Xiao Yebai and Chu Xiuhuang, Nangong Ci and others who also had ridiculously good looks, but they werepletely different from the man in front of her.
His skin was a healthy wheat colour from long-term training, his face slender, his features pronounced and chiselled, giving him a manly, firm and macho appearance.
Wearing a well-tailored olive green uniform, sitting there without any expression, he exuded an intimidating yet heroic aura, as if ready to spring into action. His silence and low profile demanded respect.
Huo Jingshen had just mentioned that he was only 28 and used to be in some special forces¡
She was lost in thought when Huo Nuanyang looked up and set his sharp gaze on her.
Su Wanwan instinctively grinned at him, but then¡
¡°Hiss!¡±
She suddenly felt a pinch on her cheek.
Su Wanwan almost shed tears from the pain. Holding her cheek, she cried out in a reproachful tone, ¡°Why did you pinch me! It hurts!¡±
Huo Jingshen gave her a sideways nce, ¡°There was a fly on your face.¡±
Could a high-end luxury club like this have flies?
That¡¯s unbelievable!
Su Wanwan was about to retort when¡
¡°Ashen and Wanwan are here.¡±
The voice of Mrs. Huo came from behind. She was assisting the elderly Mr. Huo along with a servant, followed by a sophisticated middle-aged couple.
The man should be Huo Zhexi¡¯s father, Huo Juncheng.
He was wearing a dark grey casual suit; tall and serious, his features handsome. A typical face of the men of the Huo family.
As for thedy by his side¡
Wow, she was so young!
Huo Nuanyang was 28 this year, so the second Madame of the Huo family must be close to fifty, but she looked just like a young girl. Anyone would believe she was only in her thirties!
¡°So this is my niece-inw, Wanwan?¡±
Madame Huo was also looking at her, her big phoenix eyes as clear as precious gems. She broke into a warm smile.
There was not a single wrinkle around her eyes when she smiled!
¡°You look so young!¡± Su Wanwan blurted out.
This straightforward and unpretentious reaction made Madame Huo initially stunned, then she broke into an even broader smile. Covering her cherry lips, she was about to reply when¡
¡°Of course she¡¯s young, she¡¯s spent millions on facelift injections, how could she not be young?¡±
Everyone:¡±¡¡±
The speaker was Huo Zhexi. He wasing out from the restroom in the suite.
It had been more than half a month since Su Wanwan had seen himst, and he hadn¡¯t changed much. Still sporting a mboyant shirt, tight jeans, and long hair draped over his eyebrows, with a cocky smirk stered across his face, he gave off a decidedly obnoxious air.
The corners of Madame Huo¡¯s mouth twitched a few times.. Unable to resist, she reached out and pinched her son¡¯s ear, ¡°You unlucky kid, can¡¯t spare your mom¡¯s image, can you?¡±

Huo Zhexi grumbled, baring his teeth in pain. Dodging andining simultaneously, he said, ¡°You and dad have been in Japan for so long that I had no money to spend at home. And youe back just to hit me, with no sign of concern for me at all. What kind of mother are you?¡±
¡°Except for asking for money, what else can you do? What kind of son are you?¡±
¡°Apart from hitting me, what else can you do?¡±
¡°I can beat you!¡±
With each mother and son exchanging words, a hugemotion broke out in the room, leaving Su Wanwan dumbfounded, until¡
¡°Are you all done?¡±
At the roar of Master Huo, Su Wanwan trembled in fear, and the quarrel between the mother and son finally stopped.
By this time, Huo Nuanyang had stood up and was about to intervene, but then he froze¡
Master Huo¡¯s face was gloomy, and his voice was thundering, ¡°After dinner, you two take this troublemaker away. I don¡¯t want to see him flitting around me anymore!¡±
¡°Okay, dad.¡± Mrs. Huo bowed obediently.
Huo Juncheng shook his head secretly and intervened, ¡°Alright, Mingzhu just bring out all the gifts.¡±
Mingzhu nodded, walked over and picked up two elegant bags from the sofa ¡°Wanwan, these are wedding gifts that Juncheng and I brought for you and ¡¯ Ashen. This is skincare I brought you from Japan. It¡¯s really good and suitable for all skin types. And this is a new girl¡¯s handbag from ceilgod. But it¡¯s pink, not sure if you like this color?¡±
¡°Thank you, uncle and aunt. I really like it,¡± Su Wanwan epted smilingly.
But surprisingly, the old Mrs. Huo also had gifts. ¡°Wanwan, your grandfather and I also prepared two school-opening gifts for you.¡±
¡°Oh no.¡± Mingzhu pped her forehead, ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t know it was Wanwan¡¯s school opening today. I¡¯ll make it up to you another day.¡±
Huo Zhexi grunted twice, rubbing his ear while sitting next to Huo Nuanyang, ¡°When are you nning to go back to the team, second brother¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Nuanyang stood up, picked up the gift boxes and red envelopes on the table, ¡°This is my gift.¡±
Huo Zhexi.¡±¡¡±
Damn it!
Huo Zhexi was fuming.
Was this supposed to be the Huo family¡¯s banquet?
Or was it a gift-giving ceremony for that girl?
As for Su Wanwan, she was thrilled to receive a pile of gifts from her elders for no apparent reason.
She initially thought she was justing for a meal, but didn¡¯t expect to get skincare, jewellery, and designer bags. Especially from Huo Nuanyang, who sent an entire set of Apple products plus a¡ big red envelope!
Su Wanwan thought: Apart from Huo Zhexi, the Huo family was really kind to her, especially Huo Nuanyang. The young soldier was so generous, giving her such a thick red envelope, much more generous than that old man Huo Jingshen!
So, she enjoyed her dinner particrly well. Despite all the talking by Mrs Huo and the olddy keeping the mood lively, the men remained silent throughout.
By the time dinner ended, it was alreadyte. The Huo family left in three cars with the staff helping to put the gifts into the cars. Huo Jingshen then drove Su Wanwan home.
Halfway there, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t resist opening the thick red envelope that Huo Nuanyang had given her.
¡°Wow, it¡¯s so thick, how much money could be in it?¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at her from the corner of his eye.
She was bent over herp, her face almost buried in the red envelope, like a little money-grubber, actually starting to count the money!
He coughed softly, his dark eyes looked at the road sign ahead, then made a turn into a narrow, dark alley.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t notice until the car suddenly stopped. She looked out the window and asked, ¡°Where are we?¡±
And then, the light inside the car went out.
She was engulfed in darkness.
Su Wanwan quickly turned around and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t answer. In the darkness, he reached forward, and with a click, unbuckled the seatbelt.
Next, Su Wanwan felt the car seat tilt backward abruptly.
¡°Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!¡±
¡°Stop screaming,¡± Huo Jingshen covered her mouth, ¡°I haven¡¯t even started.¡±
Started?
Start what?
With her mouth covered by his big hand, Su Wanwan could only blink her innocent and simple eyes in confusion.
In the darkness, Huo Jingshen¡¯s low voice rang out again, ¡°Are you happy with
all the gifts you received today?¡±
Unable to speak, Su Wanwan just nodded.
Was she happy.
¡¯Honey, I also have a school-opening gift for you. Do you want it?¡±
Su Wanwan kept nodding.
Yes!
Of course, she wanted the gift!
But she was also curious about what he would give her?
Another piece of jewelry maybe?
The big hand on her mouth loosened, ¡°Take it yourself.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wanwan was taken aback¡

Imperial Court Vi.
In the living room, Fu Qi nced at the wall clock.
It was eleven o¡¯clock in the night.
The servants were off duty, and Fu Ziyang had long since gone to bed. The TV
was on but without sound, making the quiet vi seem somewhat eerie.
But Huo Jingshen still hadn¡¯te back.
Today, Su Wanwan went to school. Was it that Huo Jingshen had gone out for entertainment because his wife wasn¡¯t at home?
She knew that most men, after getting married, would show their true colours.
Just like her big brother, Fu Xihan, who wouldn¡¯te back home until he was dead drunk, with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes all over his body?
And he¡¯d been kicked out by his wife, forced to sleep in the guest room multiple times, which she had secretly witnessed.
As Fu Qi was lost in her thoughts, the sound of a car engine suddenly rang out.
She immediately got up and ran towards the front door.
¡°Brother Jingshen, Brother Jing¡¡±
Her next words were abruptly choked in her throat.
That¡¯s because the car stopped right at the doorway, Huo Jingshen made his way around the car hood, opened the co-driver¡¯s seat, and then lifted Su Wanwan out from there, and moreover¡
carrying her like a princess!
Su Wanwan was dressed in the red, patterned dress she wore when she left home in the morning. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, giving her cheeks an adorable rosy hue.
Huo Jingshen had one hand supporting her shoulders, and the other supporting the back of her legs.
After a second¡¯s nce, Fu Qi quickly turned her gaze away, feeling that a man carrying a woman, especially a woman who was fast asleep, was somehow¡ provocative.
¡°Go to sleep early, Ji Jie will pick you up at eight o¡¯clock tomorrow to take you
to the airport.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice echoed.
By the time Fu Qi reacted, he had already carried Su Wanwan into the vi.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Fu Qi followed, ¡°Brother Jingshen, Brother
Jingshen, can I stay a few more days? I want to¡¡±
¡°Fu Qi.¡± Huo Jingshen stopped at the stairs, but did not turn around, and merely said indifferently, ¡°You are an adult now, you need to consider appearances. If you insist on staying, move out and live on your own. However, in that case, I can¡¯t guarantee your safety to Xihan.¡±
With that, he went straight upstairs.
Fu Qi stood there, her fingers tightly clenched.
Was he implying that her stay here would affect their marital rtionship?
Did he like Su Wanwan that much?
Was he worried that she would get the wrong idea?
*
*
Upon reaching the upstairs, Huo Jingshen just managed to settle Su Wanwan into a bath full of warm water when a mobile phone ringtone sounded from outside.
He returned to the bedroom, picked up his phone and nced at it.
¡°Ye Qitian¡±?
With a slight frown, the handsome and mature man stood there, dexterously dialling a few numbers with his slender fingers, he silenced the phone and then tossed it back.
Sometimes, a silent refusal can be far more effective than any verbal threat.

Nangong Hospital.
In the ward, Mo Weiyi put down her phone.
Aunt Jiang had gone home, and she was the only human in the ward, along
with four silent animals.
Xiao Bai hadn¡¯t finished work yet, she didn¡¯t dare sleep alone, so she tried to call Su Wanwan to chat, but was consistently told that the other line was busy?
That damned girl, who on earth was she chatting with in the middle of the night? Didn¡¯t Mr. Huo keep a check on her?
Mo Weiyiy down on the hospital bed in annoyance.
Unable to resist, she picked up her phone again and opened WeChat. Xiao Yebai still hadn¡¯t replied to the message she had sent half an hour ago.
Xiao Bai was probably busy with work, wasn¡¯t he?
Every time he got busy with work, he was like a workaholic. Was stayingte in the office his normal routine? He wouldn¡¯t have forgotten to eat dinner, would he?
So Mo Weiyiy there, looking at her phone, fretting, and eventually, toote in the night and unable to fend off sleepiness, she gradually drifted off to sleep. She didn¡¯t know how long it was before she heard a rustling sound reaching her ears..
Chapter 134 - 134:134, you are just the adopted son of our Mo Family.

In her daze, her first reaction was that Xiao Yebai had returned.
Forcing herself to fight off the urge to sleep, she strenuously opened her eyes.
The ward was dark, lit only by a small floormp.
She saw the door cracked open as the hallway light poured in, with a small white shadow standing in front of her bed.
Mo Weiyi felt a jolt of shock, every hair on her body standing on end.
As the small shadow suddenly moved, she opened her mouth and let out an uncontroble, hysterical shriek.
¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhh¡¡±

Mo Family¡¯s new resort investment was set to hold a press conference the next day, but before the end of work, it was discovered that Huangyou, at their afternoon conference, had chosen the exact same concept as the Mo Family right down to the copy, logo, and even stage design.
Huangyou is Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s investmentpany that had recently invested in a resort project under Huo Yuan¡¯s real estatepany.
The thing most frowned upon in the business world ispetition between simr projects, let alone such tant giarism.
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t have time to specte whether this was an intentional maniption issue because of time constraints, so he had to urgently call a high-level meeting to quickly develop a contingency n.
At midnight, Zhong Kai entered the CEO¡¯s office, ¡°President Xiao, the operations department has chosen n B from among several alternatives. This will require only minor changes to the stage design, which can be adjusted on site tomorrow.¡±
He handed in the documents one by one, ¡°This is the supplementary budget for this incident, this is the legal department¡¯s advice on suing Huangyou and Huo Yuan, and thisst one includes media reports on giarism allegations.¡±
Having reported everything, Zhong Kai stood there, as if wanting to say something more.
The man lifted his eyelid, ¡°Any other problems?¡±
¡°President Xiao,¡± Zhong Kai dared to speak, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, and since most of the issues have been dealt with, you should go home and rest.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Seeing the man return to his work, Zhong Kai, unable to restrain himself, gave a straightforward reminder, ¡°President Xiao, the princess is really happy with the two little dogs.¡±
¡°What dogs?¡±
¡°President Xiao?¡± Zhong Kai looked incredulous, ¡°Didn¡¯t you let me buy the dogs for the princess? I chose two Labrador puppies. The princess is thrilled, naming one Bai Xiaobai, and the other one¡¡±
The man¡¯s gaze turned cold, winnering up Zhong Kai. He promptly shut up.
Several secondster.
¡°Pass on my orders, finish up the routine tasks and then you can call it a day.¡±
¡°Yes, President Xiao.¡±
Once Zhong Kai left, Xiao Yebai just opened the documents and his phone rang from the side.
It was a call from Mo Yaoxiong, his voice stern, ¡°Yebai,e to the hospital as soon as you are done with work.¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Weiyi fell off the bed, and Grandpa is furious.¡± Then the call ended.
Xiao Yebai immediately picked up his personal phone from the side.
To avoid distractions during urgent work, he would always put this phone on silent.
Sure enough, as he turned it on, he saw several missed calls, from Mo Weiyi, Mo Yaoxiong, and a few from unknown numbers.
He quickly got up, grabbed his car keys, and left.
**
It was past one o¡¯clock in the morning when he arrived at the hospital.
Just as he entered the hospital building, the butler from the Mo¡¯s mansion, Shi Bo, came over, ¡°Thank God, Young Master Xiao, you¡¯re finally here.¡±
¡°How¡¯s Weiyi doing?¡± Xiao Yebai asked as they walked.
Butler Shi Bo said, ¡°A child staying in the hospital suddenly ran into the princess¡¯s ward, frightening her enough to fall off the bed. It was the hospital that called the mansion, and the old master was very angry. You¡¯d better apologize quickly when you see him, I can¡¯t keep him calm.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Arriving at the ward on the top floor, as the elevator doors opened, the old master of the Mo Family was being supported by a servant outside of the room.
Their eyes met, Xiao Yebai greeted him softly, ¡°Grandfather.¡±
The old master of the Mo family held his dragon-headed cane, his elderly but still sharp eyes full of anger, ¡°I thought you weren¡¯t going to show up until dawn.¡±
Xiao Yebai hung his head low, ¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡±
¡°Is this how you treat my precious granddaughter whom I married off to you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡±
Just as he finished repeating the same phrase, a pnded on Xiao Yebai¡¯s face.
His sses were knocked off and fell to the ground with a ¡°crack¡±, the lenses shattered.
His face turned to one side from the p, his pale and handsome cheek quickly showing a blue handprint.
¡°Old Master, Young Master Xiao is very worried about the princess¡¯s fall¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Shi Bo lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
¡°You concealed the news of my granddaughter¡¯s injury, left her alone in the ward without anyone to look after her, the hospital couldn¡¯t reach you by phone and had to call the mansion, leaving an old man like me to rush over in the middle of the night. Do you have anything to say for yourself?¡±
Xiao Yebai slowly turned his face.
Even though he was publicly humiliated, he still kept his expression calm, showing no signs of embarrassment or panic.
¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡±
He repeated the same sentence.
The old master of the Mo family was furious, he swiftly raised his hand and pped him again.
¡°Dad.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong came out from the ward and shouted when he saw what was going on.
The old master of the Mo family red at him, filled with a strong warning, ¡°Remember, you are just an adopted child of our Mo family. Your existence and value lies in pleasing Weiyi. I only married her to you because she likes you, and Mo Family only entrusted you with the responsibility because of that. Compared to my granddaughter, thepany is just an essory.. If my granddaughter is unhappy, I can make you lose everything you have in an instant!¡±

The elderly master of the Mo family wore a stern expression, emanating a thick warning, ¡°Remember, you¡¯re merely an adopted son of our Mo family. The significance of your existence and your value is to pacify Weiyi. It¡¯s only because she likes you that I allowed her to marry you and let the Mo family trust you. Compared to my granddaughter, thepany is just a subsidiary. If my granddaughter isn¡¯t happy, I can strip you of everything you have in an instant!¡±
Xiao Yebai stood there, handsome and reserved, his brows furrowed in coldness. Even after hearing these words, his expression remained unchanged.
¡°Remember what I said tonight. If something like today¡¯s incident happens again, even if my granddaughter likes you, I won¡¯t be so polite to you!¡±
¡°Father, it¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go back¡±, Mo Yaoxiong timely intervened.
The elder inhaled deeply, with the aid of the servants, he entered the elevator.
When the elevator door closed, the old man¡¯s face still wore a heavy look.
It was clear. Because his beloved granddaughter was frightened and severely injured this time, he was genuinely angry.
Even when he was extremely angry previously, he wouldn¡¯t resort to physical violence.
Mo Yaoxiong exhaled in silence.
Turning around, he looked at the still silent young man before him. His eyes flickered withplex emotions.
It happened swiftly.
Gone in a blink of an eye.
Then, he said, ¡°I already exined thepany¡¯s matter tonight to father, but Weiyi was scared. She had to be sedated to sleep. That¡¯s why he¡¯s so angry. You must also know that Weiyi¡¯s mother suddenly went crazy and invaded her room in the middle of the night. Since then, she has been afraid to sleep alone¡¡±
¡°I apologize, it¡¯s my fault,¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s clear, cold voice responded, ¡°Starting tomorrow, I will¡¡±
¡°No need, you should focus on your work. For the hospital, father has already dispatched Rong An to keep watch. Tomorrow, I will send two more servants here.¡±
Rong An was one of the bodyguards of the Mo family. He was in charge of Weiyi¡¯s security and was transferred back to the mansion after her marriage, citing the need for privacy.
Xiao Yebai nodded.
With a ¡®ding¡¯ sound, the elevator at the other end arrived.
¡°I¡¯m going ahead. Rest early and don¡¯t forget to attend the press conference tomorrow.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong looked at him, his gaze weighted with implications.
In the end, he turned and entered the elevator.
After the elevator door closed, Xiao Yebai still stood there, maintaining his original posture.
The corridor lights swept across his head, casting a shadow against his cold outline.
After an unknown period, hezily lifted his eyelids and looked at the shattered sses not far from his feet.
The lens was broken, and a part of the frame was missing.
His thin lips curved mockingly, an undercurrent seemed to churn in his eyes.
**
Mo Weiyi had a nightmare.
She dreamt her mother, with disheveled hair and a white dress, rushing into her room, clutching her shoulders and screaming, ¡°Weiyi, your father is so cruel, so heartless. He¡¯s a liar, a liar, Weiyi, I will take you away, Weiyi¡¡±
¡°Mom, don¡¯t, mom¡¡± Weiyi tried desperately to push her away.
She was married now, she had left that old house, so why was her mother still searching for her¡
¡°Weiyi, Weiyi, Weiyi!¡±
Finally, Weiyi opened her eyes.
Seeing the familiar handsome face, she instantly rushed towards him, ¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I¡¯m scared¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m here.¡± Xiao Yebai raised his hand and patted her delicate shoulder.
Weiyi buried her face deeply in his chest, her voice still trembling, ¡°Last night,
I clearly saw her¡¡±
¡°It was an illusion.¡± The man¡¯s deep and calm voice carried a strong soothing power, ¡°That wasn¡¯t your mother, just a child who sneaked in because the door to the ward wasn¡¯t closed properly.¡±
Enveloped by the familiar soothing fragrance, Weiyi was able to quell her anxiety slowly.
Then she looked up at him with innocent and aggrieved eyes, ¡°Were you angry with me yesterday? I called but you didn¡¯t answer, you didn¡¯te back to apany me tillte, I had left the door open so you could get in.¡±
¡°It was my fault yesterday. I should have asked a servant to apany you.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s admission of fault made Weiyi even more ufortable. Now, she hurriedly exins, ¡°Xiaobai, I didn¡¯t mean to push your sister. I know she had just miscarried and I would never use that much force. She provoked me first and tried to push me, so I¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m aware, that¡¯s in the past now.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was indifferent.
¡°So, you¡¯re not ming me?¡±
¡°I am.¡±
Weiyi was taken aback.
Xiao Yebai said seriously, ¡°Your foot still hasn¡¯t recovered. You shouldn¡¯t have impulsively gone down to confront her.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Weiyi immediately apologized.
¡°I bought porridge for her yesterday on my way.¡±
Looking at his indifferent yet elegant face, Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but muster courage and ask, ¡°And your phone¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t lose my phone, I discovered itter.¡±
Weiyi felt a ripple of excitement she couldn¡¯t suppress in her heart. She hugged his arm, her voice soft, ¡°Then you¡¯re not allowed to hide anything from me anymore. I thought you lied to me. I was very unhappy yesterday.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Yebai responded neutrally, ¡°She won¡¯t bother you again. You also behave well. Don¡¯t go looking for her.¡±
¡°Okie dokie.¡± Weiyi lifted her chin, then snuggled her face into his chest, ¡°I¡¯ll listen to Xiaobai.¡±
¡°Good.¡± Xiao Yebai stroked her soft hair, his thin lips seemingly curved into a faint smile..

After breakfast, Xiao Yebai checked the time, ¡°I have to attend a press conference, I¡¯lle back to be with you when it¡¯s finished.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Mo Weiyi was behaving exceptionally well, ¡°Just go, don¡¯t let me hold you back from work.¡±
¡°If anything happens, let Rong An know. Aunt Jiang wille to keep youpanyter.¡± After Xiao Yebai finished speaking, just as he picked up his car keys, the sound of chatter could be heard outside the door.
Soon, Rong An¡¯s voice arrived, ¡°Master Xiao.¡±
Xiao Yebai went out and closed the door behind him.
In the corridor, Rong An, dressed in a ck suit, was standing there. By his side stood a young couple with a child who seemed like 7 or 8 years old.
As soon as the husband spotted Xiao Yebai, he immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Xiao. The events ofst night were all because of my son¡¯s mischief. He sneaked into Miss Mo¡¯s ward because of his yful nature and ended up scaring her and even hurting her leg. I¡¯ve already scolded him. We especially brought him here to apologize to Miss Mo. We¡¯re really sorry.¡±
He only learned about the matter when he arrived at the hospital this morning. Although the incident happened at night and the Mo family did not pursue it, he could not afford to be lucky and immediately brought his son to apologize.
His wife also quickly exined, ¡°My son likes puppies a lot, so he barged into the room when he heard that there¡¯s a puppy in there. However, he ended up scaring Miss Mo¡ We¡¯re really sorry for this. Li Lei, quickly apologize to Uncle.¡±
The child named LeiLei seemed to have cried, his eyes were red and there were tear marks on his face. Responding to his parents¡¯mand, he immediately started apologizing, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me this once.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at the child, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, ¡°Which sister told you there is a puppy in this room?¡±
Upon hearing this, Rong An¡¯s expression twitched slightly.
Not uncle, not aunt, but directly asking for sister?
LeiLei touched his head and blinked his eyes, trying carefully to recall.
But probably because he was frightened, he stuttered for a long time and couldn¡¯t give a specific answer.
¡°It must have been the nurse.¡± His wife jumped in, ¡°My son is still young. He is really just yful and didn¡¯t mean to scare anyone. Mr. Xiao, please try to understand¡¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Xiao Yebai said expressionlessly, ¡°you may go now.¡±
¡°Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Thank you, Mr. Xiao.¡± The couple was overjoyed. They thanked him repeatedly and quickly left with their child.
Quietness returned to the corridor.
A momentter.
¡°Rong An.¡±
Rong An stepped forward, ¡°Master Xiao.¡±
¡°Go to the security department and check the surveince footage forst night, especially for¡¡± Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, and the words slowly fell from his lips, ¡°the 21st floor.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±

After Su Wanwan woke up, she found that her phone was out of battery. Then she remembered being tortured in the carst night until she fainted¡
That damn bastard!
She walked over to grab her bag and discovered that the red packet was still inside. However, upon touching it¡
Damn it!
Where did the money go?
She quickly dressed and rushed downstairs. Ji Jie was sitting on the living room sofa. When he saw her, he immediately stood up and gave her a 90-degree bow, ¡°Good morning, madam!¡±
¡°Morning.¡±
Su Wanwan just said hello and hurriedly rushed to the open-n dining room, ¡°Huo Jingshen, you bastard¡¡±
At the table, Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang looked up at her.
As for the bastard in question, sitting there in a clean white shirt, leisurely drinking his coffee. He elegantly set down his cup, his voice was deep and calm, ¡°Come have breakfast.¡±
Since there were outsiders present, Su Wanwan naturally restrained herself, swallowed the ¡°bastard¡± word, and sat down next to Fu Ziyang.
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t say a word.
Fu Ziyang remained silent and calm.
Fu Qi seemed to be in a bad mood. He had a cold look on his face the whole time as they finished their breakfast in an eerily quiet atmosphere.
¡°Fu Qi, take Ji Jie¡¯s car to the airport. Ziyang, I¡¯ll take you to school first.¡±
¡°Uncle Huo, I can take the bus by myself.¡± The little boy made a serious proposal.
Huo Jingshen curled his lips, ¡°I will take you onest time today. From tomorrow, I will arrange a personal driver for you.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Fu Ziyang didn¡¯t insist and slipped off from the chair.
When all the muggles left, Su WanWan immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man¡¯s arm, ¡°Bastard, where is my red packet!¡±
¡°What red packet?¡± Huo Jingshen arched one brow. His neat and proud eyes seemed like they needed a good p.
Su Wanwan was filled with righteous indignation, ¡°The red packet that your brother gave me! I clearly put it in my bagst night. Did you take all the money? Give it back now! That¡¯s my money!¡±
With that, she stretched out a little hand wanting the money back.
However, Huo Jingshen grabbed her hand directly, his tone scoffing, ¡°Your money?¡±
¡°Yeah, the money your brother gave me. Isn¡¯t it my money?¡±
Huo Jingshen gave a small smile, ¡°Baby, you totally belong to me, so your money is my money.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°Oh god, do you have any shame? As the CEO of a major corporation, are you really embezzling my small piece of red packet money?¡±
Righteously, Huo Jingshen responded, ¡°Baby, you¡¯re still studying, you can¡¯t be spendthrifty.¡±
After saying that, he sauntered over to the fridge, picked up the ck wallet sitting on top, and pulled out several hundred-yuan bills from it.
¡°1000, do you want it?¡±
Su Wanwan was livid, ¡°Can¡¯t you give a little bit more?¡±
Chapter 137 - 137:137, even a mosquito’s leg is meat.
Chapter 137:137, even a mosquito¡¯s leg is meat.
Trantor: 549690339 |
Every time it¡¯s only 1000 or 2000, Su Yuntang is even more generous than him!
Huo Jingshen acted like he would take the money back, Su Wanwan panicked, without a shred of dignity ran over, ¡°I want it, I want it.¡±
Even a mosquito¡¯s leg is meat.
She snatched the money back, but Huo Jingshen arrogantly began, ¡°If your husband gives you money to spend, shouldn¡¯t you do something in return?¡± Su Wanwan red at him, ¡°Isn¡¯t it natural for a husband to give his wife money?¡±
Besides, it¡¯s not a big deal.
Huo Jingshen squinted, then looked at her leisurely, pointing to his lips, ¡°One kiss, extra 1000.¡±
Who would have known, Su Wanwan looks insulted, ¡°I cannot be corrupted by wealth!¡±
Huo Jingshen:acting quite noble now, are we?
The next second.
¡°Unless you give me 10,000!¡± Su Wanwan shot for the stars.
Oh, the taste of money was rather sweet.
Huo Jingshen once again:¡±¡¡±
Su Wanwan saw his stingy expression, concluded he wouldn¡¯t agree and was about to leave when suddenly her hand was pulled back.
When sudden footsteps echoed outside, she got frightened and hurriedly tried to push him away, ¡°Someone¡¯sing¡¡±
Her hands were grabbed and moved behind her back, and she was soon held in a different position.
Su Wanwan was incredibly nervous, until the sound of footsteps came closer, the arms that were tightly wrapped around her suddenly loosened.
His slender fingers pinched her chin, Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression was incredibly calm, ¡°Old enough to be an adult, yet making a five-year-old kid wait? Such a good girl, go up and get your school bag for school.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She was utterly overwhelmed by his ability to suddenly act dead serious.
And also¡
What schoolbag? I¡¯m a university student!
Su Wanwanined heartily, but Aunt Liu had already walked into the dining room, seemed not to notice anything unusual, calmly tidying up the dishes on the table.
Her face flushed, she could only lower her head and quickly scampered off.
*
*
Whether Fu Qi liked it or not, he eventually had to get into Ji Jie¡¯s car and head to the airport.
Perhaps because the troublesome person finally left, Su Wanwan¡¯s mood suddenly lifted.
Huo Jingshen drove Fu Ziyang to school first.
The Wellington School the littled¡¯s at is the most prestigious institution in Nancheng, reached there, Su Wanwan noticed many children¡¯s parents personally drop them off at the gate. When Huo Jingshen got out of the car, she immediately followed.
¡°Uncle Huo, Aunt Wanwan, goodbye.¡± Dressed in the school uniform, Fu Ziyang waved at them.
You have to admit, thed is incredibly handsome.
Though only five, his features were perfectly crafted, better looking than many child stars on the screen, plus that calm demeanor, he has a mature temperament at such a young age. A striking contrast to the yful kids around him.
¡°Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang!¡±
A chubby little girl suddenly lunged over, ¡°Fu Ziyang, are these your parents?¡±
Fu Ziyang gave her a brief look, ¡°No.¡±
Having said that, he turned around and headed towards the campus.
¡°Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang wait for me!¡±
The chubby little girl quickly chased after him.
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
Wow, being this cold to the girls at just five?
Unbelievable.
¡°Get in the car.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly turned around.
Once in the car, as she buckled in her seatbelt, she said, ¡°The curriculum here is different from home, for which I need to attend audited sses for freshmen and sophomores this semester.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Huo Jingshen answered and started driving.
Su Wanwan sneaked a nce at him. He was focused on the road ahead, one hand on the wheel, his profile conveying a cold and deep persona, his emotions inscrutable.
She coughed discreetly and formally proposed, ¡°Which is why, I¡¯m considering living in the dorm, to catch up on the previously missed lectures.¡±
Having not expected Huo Jingshen to agree instantly, she was nning to justify further¡
¡°Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened.
Holy crap!
He actually agreed without hesitation?
This is unusually suspicious!
Huo Jingshen added, ¡°Once Ji Jie is back from dropping off Fu Qi, I will have
him move your things to South University.¡±
Not only did he agree to let her live in the dormitory, but he was also willing to help her move?
Could he be¡
Su Wanwan¡¯s mind was aflutter¡
From shock!
She cautiously asked, ¡°Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?¡±
Just as the traffic light turned red, Huo Jingshen stopped the car and turned to look at her.
With a slight curve of his lips, a gentle lift of his eyebrows, and sparkling eyes that were flirty, his voice was soft and teasing, ¡°You¡¯re my wife, and it¡¯s only right for a husband to be nice to his wife.¡±
However, Su Wanwan felt no stir of excitement, but instead, deep inside her, a sense of unease grew.
Perhapsst night¡¯s encounter in the car was too stimting. Now, even seeing
him smile gave her the creeps¡awkward.
*
*
Upon reaching the school and letting Su Wanwan off, Huo Jingshen drove away.
Su Wanwan went straight to her dorm.
As it was still early, the other three girls in the dorm were preparing for their sses.
Upon seeing Su Wanwan, Lin Qiao was the first to speak, albeit with a sharp tone, ¡°Su Wanwan, could you let us know in advance if you¡¯re noting back to sleep?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
The dormitory manager checks the rooms every night. We know you like to stay out all night, probably messing around, but not saying a word about it every time is really poor manners, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lin Qiao said impatiently.
Clearly, she had manyints about Su Wanwan.
The other two girls cast her a few extra nces upon hearing these words.
Their looks seemed to say: Wow, she loves to stay out all night, she must be fooling around with some guy!
Su Wanwan raised her eyebrow, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡±
Today was her first day at boarding school, she didn¡¯t want to start unnecessary conflicts with these girls, especially since ss was about to begin.
As for Lin Qiao, her expression instantly turned into one of surprise.
Back in high school, if she had said something like that, Su Wanwan would have started a fight, but now¡
She didn¡¯t even retort?
Like punching into cotton, Lin Qiao felt frustrated but could do nothing about it.
She grabbed her textbooks, ¡°I¡¯m off to ss.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± The other two girls quickly followed.
Su Wanwan went to her desk and checked her sses for the day.
As a third-year student, her sses were less intense. Most of the previous semester was filled withpulsory and workshop-based sses. She had only two English sses this morning, from nine-thirty till eleven-thirty. Su Wanwan quickly prepared her ss materials and quickly left the dorm.
Not being familiar with the schoolyout, she wasted ten minutes looking for the lecture building. When she finally found the ssroom, the bell for the start of ss rang.
She rushed towards it, nearly colliding with a male student exiting the ssroom.
¡°Sorry, didn¡¯t hit you, did I?¡±
The boy¡¯s voice was rather pleasant, clear, crisp, and filled with the youthful energy that was unique to boys his age.
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t even look at him and quickly entered the ssroom.
The male student looked as if he had lost his soul. He stood still for a few seconds before turning away and leaving.
10 minutester, a serious and conservative female professor walked into the ssroom, followed by that male student.
¡°Jiang Shuhao, can you help me distribute the printed materials to everyone?¡±
Jiang Shuhao?
Isn¡¯t that¡?
Su Wanwan then took a good look at him.
He was wearing a white polo shirt paired with light grey casual pants. He was about 1.8 meters tall, slender, with fair skin, and striking features.
He was the epitome of a university heartthrob, no wonder Lin Qiao was so intent on being hostile towards her.
The materials were passed forward. Su Wanwan, who was seated in thest row, received the materials handed back by the student in front of her just when the teacher started speaking.
¡°Today is the first English lesson in your third year, and I hope you all strive hard. We aim to get our certificates by the end of this semester. Now, let¡¯s start with the roll call. Zhou Guohua.¡±
¡°Present.¡±
¡°Wang Liya.¡±
¡°Present.¡±
¡°Liu Pingping.¡±
¡°Present.¡±
Last one.
¡°Su Wanwan.¡±
¡°Present.¡±
The female professor lifted her head to look at Su Wanwan, who was sitting in thest row.
Everyone¡¯s gaze in the ssroom directed towards the rear.
Suddenly, one of the boys asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the new girl in our ss?¡±
¡°Wow, she¡¯s a beauty!¡± someone echoed.
Then followed.
¡°She¡¯s so pretty!¡±
¡°Is she a celebrity?¡±
¡°Looks like we¡¯re going to have a new ss flower.¡±
¡°I think she can even take on the university¡¯s beauty queen!¡±
Hearing this astonished chatter, Lin Qiao¡¯s face went flush with indignation.
Was Su Wanwan going to steal her spotlight on the very first day?
It¡¯s just a ss, yet she¡¯s wearing such an exquisite dress, with her lips painted red. She¡¯s dressed like a fox spirit, talk about being high-profile!
Filled with resentment, she looked away, only to find her boyfriend, who was sitting beside her, looking at Su Wanwan with a smile¡.

Trantor: 549690339
After taking roll call, the ss officially started.
In truth, college sses tend to be rather rxed. Even in Nancheng, the highest-ranking institution, more than half of the students are spending ss messing around or doing other things.
Su Wanwan had also picked up her cell phone, and upon turning it on, she received several messages from Ye Qitian:
¡°Little junior sister, how could you,cking a conscience, not answer my calls?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I find you at the driving school?¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t reply to my messages, I¡¯m going to report you to the police!¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, but had just typed a few characters¡
¡°Professor, let the new student read.¡±
Upon hearing Lin Qiao calling her name, Su Wanwan was stunned.
The female professor¡¯s voice had already sounded, ¡°Okay, let the new student help us by reading this English article. Let¡¯s wee her.¡±
¡°Wee, new student!¡± Lin Qiao led the apuse, her face full of anticipation for Su Wanwan¡¯s awkward moment.
Driven by her, the ssroom burst into thunderous apuse, and some of the boys even started cheering.
Left with no choice, Su Wanwan could only stand up and walk towards the podium.
However, as she passed Lin Qiao, something tripped her.
She stumbled, and her body lurched forward.
At the critical moment, Su Wanwan quickly grabbed the corner of a table.
The desk grated across the cement floor, making a piercing sound. She finally steadied herself and saved herself from a public fall.
Still, her posture seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Qiao couldn¡¯t help but giggle, herughter filled with a sense of victory.
¡°Su Wanwan, try not to wear high heels during ss,¡± the professor warned.
At thisment, the entire ssroom burst intoughter.
Su Wanwan even heard some girls discussing:
¡°What was she thinking showing off like this, now it¡¯s her awkward moment!¡±
¡°I¡¯m dying ofughter, why didn¡¯t she fall?¡±
¡°It would¡¯ve been thrilling if she fell t on her face and had a wardrobe malfunction.¡±
II II
Su Wanwan slowly straightened herself up.
To cover the hickey left by someone on her corbone, she specially put on a high-cored dress today. The design was half-sleeved and the hem was long, the purple print fabric, inparison to the casual dress of the other girls, indeed seemed overly showy.
At this moment, she tugged slightly at her dress, standing there with an expressionless face, her eyes cold, creating quite an aura of elegance and coolness.
She then looked at Lin Qiao, her tone slightly scoffing, ¡°Two years have passed, and you¡¯re still as immature as ever!¡±
Having said that, she walked straight onto the stage.
Lin Qiao sat there, feigning calm, but when Su Wanwan began reading in English, she could no longer keep herposure.
Because her original intention was for Su Wanwan to embarrass herself in public!
Everyone knew that back in high school, Su Wanwan was just a little bad girl, whose exam scores never exceeded three digits and only partied or fought every day. Even if she had been overseas for two years, how could she change? The environment was so open over there, she would certainly have been too busy messing around with foreigners to care about studying.
Lin Qiao had thought Su Wanwan would stutter and would let all the boys in the ss clearly see that this woman, no matter how beautiful, is just a vase, how could they crown her as the department¡¯s beauty?
But, she never¡ ever¡ expected¡
That Su Wanwan could read so fluently!
And in such fluent American English!
Her voice was clear, her pronunciation was clear, and she had a hint of the local Nancheng ent. As she finished reading, some boys even apuded approvingly, and even the traditionally stern and picky female professor kept nodding her head.
¡°Su Wanwan, you read very well, and your pronunciation is very standard.¡±
Su Wanwan smiled, put down the textbook, and stepped down from the podium.
This time she was careful. Sure enough, when she got to Lin Qiao¡¯s side again, that foot sneaked out stealthily.
Su Wanwan shed a cold smile in her eyes.
She thought she could use such a crude trick twice?
Did she actually think Su Wanwan was an unsuspecting ditz?
Su Wanwan calmly walked forward without making a sound, and when she reached her, without saying a word, she stomped hard on her foot.
¡°Ah!¡±
In that instant, Lin Qiao let out a piercing scream.
¡°What happened?¡± Jian Shuhao on the side asked.
All the other students also turned to see.
¡°This ssmate.¡± Without waiting for Lin Qiao to say anything, Su Wanwan beat her to it, ¡°This is a ssroom, not your dance studio for practicing splits. Are you a crab? Why is your foot all the way in the aisle?¡±
Lin Qiao used right away, ¡°Su Wanwan, why did you purposely step on me?¡±
She was wearing open-top t sandals today, and Su Wanwan was wearing a pair of high heels. Su Wanwan¡¯s stomp was quite forceful, there was swelling on Lin Qiao¡¯s foot, and she even scraped the skin. How could Lin Qiao stand it?
With their confrontation starting, Su Wanwan shot back, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just try to trip me like that? You tried to do it again, but when you failed, you yed victim. Are you stupid, or do you think we¡¯re all stupid?¡±
¡°Everyone saw you stepping on my foot. You obviously did it on purpose¡¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t there a CCTV in this ssroom?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s casual remark made Lin Qiao immediately anxious and she hurriedly looked towards the wall.
There isn¡¯t one!
¡°Look at how scared you are, you¡¯ve got a guilty conscience, don¡¯t you?¡± Su Wanwan immediately retorted.
The ssroom burst into uproar.
Lin Qiao was anxiously angry and was about to retort¡
¡°Silence! This is a ssroom! If you have something to say, wait until after ss. Especially you two, if you want to cause a scene, get out!¡± The female professor hit the table, her voice stern.
Su Wanwan smiled faintly, disregarding Lin Qiao¡¯s murderous gaze, and elegantly returned to her seat.
What a nuisance!
She finally dressed like a little fairy for once, but there are always these annoying people pushing her to curse..

Soon, the ss ended.
Lin Qiao was not satisfied and was about to confront Su Wanwan again when
Jian Shuhao spoke.
¡°Qiao Qiao, why are you targeting Su Wanwan?¡±
Lin Qiao widened her eyes in surprise. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
¡°Regardless, don¡¯t do this kind of thing again, it¡¯s childish.¡± After Jian Shuhao finished speaking, he got up and left.
This was the first time she had ever seen her boyfriend angry after knowing
him for so long.
Lin Qiao¡¯s heart was racing, and she quickly got up to chase after him.
At that time, Su Wanwan was in the hallway replying to Ye Qitian¡¯s text message when he called her directly.
¡°Little junior sister, let¡¯s go on a date tomorrow.
¡°I just started school, I have makeup sses and have to prepare for a road test
in a few days.¡±
¡°Come on, I never saw you take things so seriously before. Which university?
I¡¯ll drive you there tomorrow.¡±
¡°No need¡¡±
¡°Hold on, the director is discussing the script with me. Gotta go, see you
tomorrow.¡±
After she hung up the phone, Su Wanwan was bewildered.
Was Ye Qitian really off to make a movie? He wasn¡¯t just joking?
Are standards in the entertainment industry so low these days?
¡°Su Wanwan.¡±
A clear and pleasing voice sounded behind her.
Su Wanwan turned around.
Jian Shuhao?
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°So it really is you.¡± Jian Shuhao¡¯s smiled warmly. ¡°When I bumped into you at the ssroom door earlier, I didn¡¯t dare recognize you. Have you been okay these past two years?¡±
Su Wanwanughed awkwardly, ¡°Pretty good.¡±
¡°I heard from the teacher that you transferred suddenly. Feel free to ask me anything regarding your studies; I¡¯m the ss representative.
There¡¯s a ss representative in college? Su Wanwan continued tough awkwardly, ¡°Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn¡¯t want to cause another misunderstanding with your girlfriend.¡±
¡°That¡¯s just how Qiao Qiao is, I just scolded her.¡± Jian Shuhao looked a little awkward, ¡°Su Wanwan, actually it¡¯s all my fault. I didn¡¯t know back then¡ that you¡ had a crush on me.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked rapidly, ¡°What? I¡ had a crush on you?¡±
Holy hell, when did I have a crush on this pretty-boy?
Jian Shuhao nodded, his tone somewhat regretful, ¡°If I had known earlier, we might be¡¡±
Her phone rang again just as Su Wanwan interrupted him, ¡°There are no its and buts, there must be some misunderstanding. I have to take this call.¡± Jian Shuhao frowned, seemingly wanting to say something else, but the bell for ss rang. He said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go first.¡±
Su Wanwan answered the phone, ¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Madam, this is Ji Jie. Mr. Huo said you can call me to help with your move anytime.¡±
Su Wanwan responded without much thought, You can go straight to the
Imperial Court. I¡¯ll be back after ss.¡±
¡°Alright, goodbye Madam.¡±
**
After ss, Su Wanwan went back to the Imperial Court and quickly packed a suitcase.
When she reached the lobby, Ji Jie immediately took the luggage, ¡°Madam, please leave these things to me.¡±
Su Wanwan casually asked, ¡°Has Miss Fu returned to the United Kingdom yet?¡± ¡°Yes, rest assured Madam. I personally drove Miss Fu to the airport and watched her board the ne. There won¡¯t be any problems.¡¯
Su Wanwan coughed twice, ¡°Was I worried?¡±
Had she made it that obvious?
Ji Jie gave a knowing smile, ¡°That was my mistake, I shouldn¡¯t assume.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Forget it.
Once in the car, the drive was smooth.
Upon reaching South University, Ji Jie, pulling the suitcase, followed Su Wanwan into the girls dormitory.
just as they reached the entrance, Ji Jie abruptly stopped and the dormitory¡¯s manager appeared with a key.
¡°Mr. Ji, right? Room 109, follow me.¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned. ¡°I¡¯m in room 508.¡±
¡°There¡¯s something you don¡¯t know, Madam.¡± Ji Jie exined with a smile, ¡°Mr. Huo specifically arranged for you to have afortable single room. I¡¯ll move your luggage over first and then move your things from the dorm.¡±
¡°¡A single room?¡±
Has that jerk changed his personality?
Why is he treating her so well all of a sudden?
Su Wanwan was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Living alone might be for the best considering her conflict with Lin Qiao that morning. It¡¯s better to avoid constant squabbling.
Better to avoid trouble.
The new dormitory was in the graduate building. The other upants were all graduate students of the school or exchange students from overseas. They all either had single rooms or double rooms.
Indeed the room was quitefortable. The single bed was quiterge, big enough for two people, and it even had its own washing room and a small balcony. All the electrical appliances were avable. Thinking about being able to cook instant noodles with her own pot made Su Wanwan start to daydream. Oh right, once Weiyi is feeling better, she could invite her toe live with her.
After settling the suitcase, Su Wanwan was about to take Ji Jie to Room 508 to pick up her belongings.
At the door, she made sure to remind him, ¡°Once we get in, don¡¯t call me
¡®Madam¡¯.¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
¡°And don¡¯t call yourself ¡®the lowly one¡¯.¡±
¡°The lowly one¡ I mean, I understand.¡±
Only then did Su Wanwan feel confident to knock and enter the dormitory.
Lin Qiao was sitting at her desk watching a Korean drama. The foot she had hurt was raised high with a band-aid on it.
The moment she saw Su Wanwan, her eyes bulged in anger and she was about to m her hand on the table and explode¡
¡°Goddess, may Ie in?¡± Ji lie¡¯s fawning voice sounded.
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched at the corners.
The other three girls in the dormitory were equally astonished.
What era is this?
There are still men who call women ¡®goddess¡¯!

Trantor: 549690339
As soon as they finished packing and left, the dorm room exploded with chatter.
Girl A: ¡°Is that Su Wanwan¡¯s boyfriend?¡±
Girl B: ¡°No way, he¡¯s such a country bumpkin, calling his girlfriend a goddess?¡±
Lin Qiao sneered, ¡°He¡¯s one of her suitors.¡±
Girl A: ¡°He¡¯s so unattractive, Su Wanwan would never go for him!¡±
Lin Qiao sneered again, ¡°What do you know? He¡¯s just a toy for her, useful when needed, kicked aside when not. I¡¯ve known her for five years, she¡¯s always been a cunning one, good at flirting and ying with boys¡¯ emotions. She¡¯s probably been kept by some rich old man by now.¡±
The other two girls¡¯ eyes widened immediately.
Kept?
Although unbelievable, it did make sense considering Su Wanwan¡¯s expensive clothes and how beautiful she is.
Lin Qiao seemed to have an idea, suddenly got up and bounced over to the window, took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the two outside.

Su Wanwan was unaware of the behind-the-scenes nder against her.
After packing up her room, she dismissed Ji Jie, and then she received a call from a certain beast.
The first thing he said was, ¡°How¡¯s the new dorm, baby? You satisfied?¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t beat around the bush, ¡°It¡¯s nice.¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, ¡°Tell me, is your husband good to you?¡±
Cough, Su Wanwan thought his voice was especially low and maic over the phone, especially with a hint ofughter, creating a sense of intimacy. It felt as if he was deliberately teasing her¡
She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved, and her heart was pounding. All she could do was nodded shyly.
After all, aside from asionally being a beast in certain things, and being slightly stingy, he really was a good man, treating her pretty well.
¡°My birthday ising up,¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject, ¡°as my wife, you should know what to do, right?¡±
Su Wanwan:
So, being so nice to her was just to get a birthday present!
Typical capitalist, a tant businessman!
¡°What do you want for your birthday?¡± Su Wanwan said, and then quickly added, ¡°But let me tell you first, I don¡¯t have much money, so I can¡¯t afford anything too expensive.¡±
¡°You have twenty days left. Think about it carefully, baby. I¡¯ve got a meeting to run off to.¡±
After hanging up, Su Wanwan started to worry.
She had never given a man anything before, even Su Xueqin and Su Yuntang¡¯s birthdays didn¡¯t require her to give any gifts.
She didn¡¯t have a lot of money to buy a bunch of expensive watches, ties, clothes out like Mo Weiyi does.
What should she give him?
**
Huo Yuan Group.
When Huo Jingshen arrived at the conference room, Chu Xiuhuang was already waiting there.
Rarely seen in a meticulously put-together suit and shoes, he still wore a casual look on his face, speakingzily as anything.
¡°Bro, you could just reach out to my secretary next time, or Lu Chenyu. I¡¯m busy.¡±
Huo Jingshen gave him a cold nce.
The next second.
¡°That¡¯s what secretaries are for.¡±
No sooner had Lu Chenyu said this than the entire conference room erupted in a chorus of coughs.
As for the one being joked about, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s secretary, she wore a ck suit and ck-framed sses. Her parted hair fell over therger part of her face, hiding her looks and expression. Taken lightly, she seemed to have grown ustomed to such joking treatments. She simply adjusted her sses calmly.
A sweep of Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes, emitting a formidable aura, silenced the entire room.
He said seriously, ¡°I believe you all have received thewsuit files from Mo Group. I¡¯d now like to hear Huangyou¡¯s specific solution.¡±
The newly built Huo Yuan resort had been progressing smoothly. Even yesterday, sessful press was conducted on it. But this morning, at Mo Group¡¯s press, the head of their publicity department directly imed that Huo Yuan had giarised all their ns.
All hell broke loose.
In less than half an hour,wsuit papers were submitted to his mailbox.
This resort project was the first one Huangyou had taken up with Huo Yuan. The promotional operations were entirely their responsibility.
Chu Xiuhuang snapped his fingers and his secretary stood up.
¡°Good afternoon, I¡¯m the head of Huangyou¡¯s Secretarial Department, Mr. Chu¡¯s private assistant, my name is Shi. After the incident, we quickly teamed up withwyer Lu and conducted an investigation only to discover that the manager of Shengshi Media¡¯s nning department was to me. Here are the investigation documents. I¡¯ll add the inside story to Mr. Huo¡¯s mailbox as there were some personal grudges involved.¡±
After finishing, she handed over a document.
¡°In the ident, even though Huangyou also suffered, we¡¯ve had a close rtionship with Shengshi for quite some time. Hence, Huangyou will take full responsibility for this ident in order to minimise the impact on Huo Yuan. At the same time, Huangyou has ceased its cooperation with Shengshi to prevent such idents from urring again. I¡¯ve also summarised this in a statement which I request Mr. Huo to review.¡±
She handed over a second document.
¡°Shengshi Media¡¯s Ms. Sheng expressed that they wille up with a disciplinary n for the manager and make him provide a written public apology, going through all the legal procedures with Mo. Tomorrow morning, we n on holding another press conference with Shengshi to provide extensive rification about the incident. This concludes Huangyou¡¯s n of action..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
After making all her statements, she returned to her seat.
The manager from the Public Rtions Department couldn¡¯t helpmenting, ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that Huangyou¡¯s secretary is smart and efficient. Today I see it¡¯s indeed true.¡±
The others didn¡¯t say anything, but they all nodded in approval.
As for Chu Xiuhuang, he slightly raised one handsome eyebrow and looked at the chairman, ¡°What do you think?¡±
Huo Jingshen perused the documents before finally saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see this kind of incident again.¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, rest assured, if such an event happens again, we at Huangyou will voluntarily resign from our partnership.¡± The secretary¡¯s voice was soft, yet her words fell with a clear conviction.
Upon hearing this, the people present instinctively turned their heads towards Chu Xiuhuang.
After all, he was the real legal representative of Huangyou Investment. Nevertheless, Chu Xiuhuang remained calm and nonchnt. His lips curved into an evil smirk and his eyes were filled with amusement. His handsome face glowed without any hint of displeasure.
The crowd once again thought unanimously, apparently, the long-standing rumor was true. Young Chu had no real talent, he was all talk, and the actual decision-maker of Huangyou was this secretary!
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips lifted into a smirk, ¡°In that case, I look forward to it.¡±
After the meeting ended and all the bystanders had departed, Chu Xiuhuang immediately stood up, loosened his tie, unbuttoned his dress shirt, and lit a cigarette for himself.
¡°That Xiao Yebai purposely nned this incident at the conference to smear me, that bastard did it on purpose.¡±
Huo Jingshen tossed the file on the table, ¡°Your secretary hasn¡¯t left yet, you can ask her to think of some other way to handle this.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not necessary. Regardless, I can¡¯t let big brother suffer any loss, can I?¡± Huo Jingshen remained silent.
Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, feeling rather aggrieved.
He took a hard puff of his cigarette and suddenly dialed a number on his phone, ¡°Secretary, ce an order for flowers to be delivered to room 2202 at Nangong Hospital.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Chu Xiuhuang smiled wickedly, ¡°Let¡¯s send 999 roses, red ones ¨C the ones that symbolize love.¡±
*

Nangong Hospital.
Mo Weiyi woke up drowsily from her afternoon nap, disturbed by amotion.
She opened her eyes, nced at the time ¨C it was four in the afternoon.
She decided to get up.
Auntie Jiang, can you check what¡¯s happening outside?¡±
Auntie Jiang went out to check and returned promptly, ¡°Princess, someone has sent flowers.¡±
Flowers?
Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful cat-like eyes, ¡°Then let them bring them in.¡±
¡°Um, but Rong An is worried¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to worry about? Just go ask who sent them.¡±
Auntie Jiang had no choice but to go back out and inquire. She returned and reported, ¡°They said it¡¯s from a young master surnamed Chu.¡±
Surname Chu?
Could it be Chu Xiuhuang?
¡°Let them bring it in.¡±
On Mo Weiyi¡¯s orders, Auntie Jiang immediately went to open the door.
Soon, floral shop assistants started bringing in bouquets of roses one after another.
A few minutester, Mo Weiyi sat in shock, her mouth agape at the entire room full of red roses.
What the hell was Chu Xiuhuang doing?
There were so many roses that the scent was overpowering, and she could barely suppress a sneeze.
Hardly had they sent away the flower delivery people when the phone rang.
It was a local number she was unfamiliar with.
¡°Who is this?¡±
¡°Little Princess.¡± A familiar frivolous male voice came from the other line, ¡°Did you receive the roses I sent?¡±
Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m only here for a few days, why would you send so many flowers?¡±
¡°Presenting flowers to a beauty, of course.¡±
So fake!
¡°Then thank you.¡±
Mo Weiyi followed suit: Fake!
Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, ¡®You¡¯re wee. Just remember, you¡¯re the first woman I¡¯ve ever sent 999 roses to in my lifetime.¡±
Having said that, he hung up.
Mo Weiyi waspletely bewildered.
¡°Mr. Xiao.¡± Suddenly, a bodyguard¡¯s voice came from the door.
Mo Weiyi looked at the man entering with delight, ¡°Xiaobai, howe you¡¯re back so early? Are you here to keep mepany?¡±
With that, a smile began to bloom on her face.
However, Xiao Yebai¡¯s expression remained cold.
He looked at the spectacr sight in the hospital room, his voice low and his gaze behind his sses even more obscure, ¡°Who sent the flowers?¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked her cat eyes, ¡°A friend.¡±
¡°Which friend?¡±
Mo Weiyi hesitated for a moment but finally admitted, ¡°Chu Xiuhuang.¡± Xiao Yebai averted his gaze and moved to the side table, cing his phone and car keys down, ¡°Rong An.¡±
A bodyguard in a ck suit immediately came in, ¡°Mr. Xiao.¡±
¡°Throw these flowers out.¡±
Mo Weiyi froze.
Rong An acknowledged the order and started to gather the flowers somewhat roughly and quickly..
¡°Wait a moment!¡± Mo Weiyi blurted out.
Xiao Yebai nced at her indifferently, the sses reflecting a sudden sh of light.
As if a cold de had suddenly been unsheathed.
Mo Weiyi asked weakly, ¡°Why throw them away? These flowers look so beautiful. It¡¯s a pity to throw them away¡¡±
¡°Pity?¡± Xiao Yebai sneered coldly, his voice filled with sarcasm, ¡°The clothes jewelry, and shoes you¡¯ve discarded in the past were worth much more than¡¯ these. You¡¯ve never expressed any regret before.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
For the time they had known each other, Xiao Yebai had always given the impression of being refined and calm, rarely showing any overt emotion.
And yet now, his tone and reaction starkly suggested¡.
¡°Are you jealous?¡±
As soon as she said it, Mo Weiyi immediately denied it.
As if Xiaobai would be jealous. That was as likely as a sow climbing a tree!
Expectedly, Xiao Yebai indifferently shifted his gaze away..

He hung his head low, his fair and slender fingers undoing the buttons on his shirt. In a calm manner, he uttered, ¡°Now, you are a patient, with so many roses around, you can easily get an allergy due to the pollen, which will worsen your condition.¡±
Mo Weiyi wrinkled her nose, putting on a soft, dainty voice, ¡°Come on, he probably sent the flowers because I¡¯m in the hospital, just as a friend offering his support.¡±
Xiao Yebai kept silent.
¡°If you really do not like them, give them to the nurse. It will be such a waste to throw them away, okay?¡±
Xiao Yebai still did not say anything.
Mo Weiyi frowned.
This was bad; it seemed like he was really upset this time.
Rong An stood there, holding a few bouquets of red roses in his hands. His expression was as emotionless as Xiao Yebai¡¯s.
Mo Weiyi blinked, then suddenly spread her arms, ¡°Xiaobai, I need to go to the bathroom.¡±
Xiao Yebai arched one of his eyebrows.
¡°Hurry up, Xiaobai, carry me to the bathroom,¡± Mo Weiyi whined impatiently.
Although he knew it was an excuse, the man walked over, reached out with his arms, and easily picked her up to take her to the bathroom.
Mo Weiyi stuck her head out from his arm, pointing at the room full of flowers. Then she mouthed silently to Rong An, ¡°Take all the flowers away.¡±
Rong An had been with her for over ten years and naturally understood what to do.
After entering the bathroom, Xiao Yebai put her in front of the toilet and then turned to leave.
¡°Xiaobai¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll close the door.¡±
Um¡
As expected, Xiao Yebai locked the door and came back, ¡°Do you need my help?¡±
The man asked in a deadpan tone, making Mo Weiyi blush inexplicably.
In fact, she didn¡¯t need to use the toilet at all; she just wanted the flowers not to be wasted.
The hospital patient¡¯s clothes were loose. Mo Weiyi was standing on her own with difficulty when she grabbed Xiao Yebai, ¡°I¡¯m cold.¡±
Xiao Yebai slowly spoke, his voice low and deep, ¡°Where are you cold?¡±
Mo Weiyi:
Mo Weiyi was carried by Xiao Yebai when they left the bathroom.
¡°Princess.¡± The servant¡¯s voice brought her back to reality, ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner, what would you like to eat, princess?¡±
Moe Weiyi touched her burning cheeks and pretended to be calm, ¡°I will have the same thing as Xiaobai.¡±
Jiang Auntie turned to nce at the male master of the house.
And so, Xiao Yebai ordered a few dishes.
His voice was calm, his expression indifferent. If not for the creases on his shirt that she had just made, he would have been neat and tidy, as if nothing had happened at all.
He was just a debonair yet annoying man.
Mo Weiyi secretly grumbled to herself.
But it was fine. Seeing the roses in the room had all disappeared, he didn¡¯t seem suspicious.
Mo Weiyi thought it was over, but she had no idea that¡
The next day at noon.
Just when she was ready to have lunch, noise came from the hallway again.
Soon, Jiang Auntie came in and said, ¡°Princess, someone has delivered flowers again.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
This time it was 999 champagne roses.
Having learned fromst time¡¯s experience, Mo Weiyi simply ordered, ¡°You guys can deliver them to the office downstairs and give them to the nurses.¡±
The flower delivery personnel looked at each other, and then the one who seemed to be the leader said, ¡°Mr. Chu said that the flowers must be hand-delivered to Ms. Mo.¡±
Moe Weiyi could feel her heart miss a beat. With a wave of her hand, she said, ¡°Then bring them in first.¡±
Once the flowers are ced neatly, she could always have Rong An send them downstairs.
Just as the flowers were arranged, Mr. Chu called. This time, Moe Weiyi didn¡¯t even bother to mince words.
¡°Chu Xiuhuang, if you have too much money and it¡¯s burning a hole in your pocket, you can donate to charities like Project Hope instead of squandering it so carelessly. Why did you send 999 roses again today after you had already sent the same amount yesterday?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s tone was still his usual frivolous and casual one, ¡°Yesterday¡¯s flowers, they must have been thrown in the bin, right?¡±
Mo Weiyi did not deny, ¡°Aren¡¯t you self-aware then?¡±
¡°So, that¡¯s why. How can a princess¡¯s room not be adorned with flowers? Today, I specially had my secretary ce an order for 999 champagne roses just for you. How about it, do you like them?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like them!¡±
¡°Alright then,¡± Chu Xiuhuang was not vexed, ¡°Shall I send you Shangri roses tomorrow? Or the Blue Enchantress? Or Lilies? Never mind, just tell me what flowers you like.¡±
¡°Stop sending them!¡± Mo Weiyi said, drained, ¡°My husband doesn¡¯t like it.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sending them to the little princess, not to your husband.. What does it matter to me whether he likes them or not?¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Why on earth¡¡±
¡°Since the little princess doesn¡¯t want to speak up, I will send you one type of flower each day, until I find the one you like.¡± After pausing, he continues, ¡°Little princess, you need to know, you are the first woman in this world that has made me send 999 roses consecutively for two days.¡±
The call ended abruptly.
Mo Weiyi stared at the phone.
Is this guy a Virgo?
Such an obsession with numbers.
Could he possibly keep track of how many girlfriends he¡¯s had?
¡°Young Master Xiao.¡±
Rong An¡¯s voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Weiyi immediately became flustered.
Damn!
Why did Xiaobai return at this moment?
Could he possibly be this unlucky?
Upon seeing the remarkable sight of the room filled with fresh flowers once again, Xiao Yebai¡¯s face instantly turned cold.
Quite evidently.
A visibly cold aura was spreading¡
Especially because the weather was getting colder, he wore a pitch-ck suit today, meticulously dressed down to his pant legs that were also radiating a cold glow.
¡°Err, Xiaobai, these flowers¡¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t utter a word and just turned around and left.
Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, quickly called out to Rong An, ¡°Hurry up, Rong An, take these flowers downstairs!¡±
Rong An¡¯s poker face twitched a couple of times, and he promptly got to work.
Because he was handed the roses yesterday afternoon to give to the floors below, many nurses would shoot him flirtatious nces whenever they¡¯d pass by in the corridor¡
Indeed, simply absurd!
*
*
About half an hourter, just as Mo Weiyi was figuring out how to exin the situation over the phone, Xiao Yebai came back, followed by the head physician.
¡°Miss Mo¡¯s left foot has minor burns, but the main issue is the broken toe on her right foot, which needs to be immobilized for about six weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, make sure someone is around at all times to avoid happening of any idents likest time. I¡¯ve already stated all the other precautions, if you have any problems,e to the hospital promptly¡¡±
Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
Was she being discharged?
Rong An had just finished moving the flowers and hade back.
¡°Rong An, bring the car around.¡± Xiao Yebai instructed as he tossed the car keys to Rong An. ¡°Aunty Jiang, could you tidy up the room and ask old Liu to bring the car here.¡±
As for him, he picked up a coat, wrapped it around Mo Weiyi, carried her in his arms and proceeded towards the exit.
¡°Xiaobai,¡± Mo Weiyi questioned him, ¡°why the sudden discharge?¡±
¡°The hospital is inconvenient,¡± Xiao Yebai said indifferently.
Inconvenient?
Mo Weiyi blinked.
For some unknown reason, she remembered yesterday evening in the bathroom¡
She buried her face in his chest.
Oh, this was so embarrassing. So Xiaobai wanted to be discharged because of that!
*
*
Once they reached the car, Xiao Yebai¡¯s phone suddenly rang.
I will be there right away¡you guys go directly upstairs¡okay.¡±
A few vague sentences. Mo Weiyi presumed it was a work call because as soon as he hung up hemanded, ¡°Rong An, drive back to Lishui Bay.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at Mo Weiyi, ¡°I¡¯ll join you after wrapping up the work.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Mo Weiyi willingly agreed.
It could be her imagination, but ever since the night they were scared by the child, Xiaobai had been noticeably more caring towards her. He would leave work on time and would evene to apany her for lunch.
When Xiao Yebai left, Rong An drove back to Lishui Bay.
Mo Weiyi, having nothing else to do, started a conversation with the bodyguard. ¡°Rong An, are you tired?¡±
¡°Not tired.¡±
But you¡¯ve been with me all these two days, and it seems you didn¡¯t sleep at night, are you sure you¡¯re not tired?¡±
¡°Not tired.¡±
If you¡¯re tired, I can hire a substitute driver, or ask the family driver toe and pick us up.¡±
¡°Not tired.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Alright then.

Hospital, 21st floor.
Xiao Yebai heard amotion while he was walking down the corridor. The door was open, so he walked there and knocked lightly on the door.
Everyone in the sick room turned to look.
¡°You all leave first,¡± Xiao Yebai said impassively.
The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly filed out.
¡°Brother, why did you tell mom and dad that I was hospitalized?¡± Xiao Zhiwei asked in a hoarse voice.
¡°We can¡¯t believe you were hospitalized and didn¡¯t tell us, do you realize how worried your father and I have been?¡± Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s mother scolded her in a motherly tone.
¡°Don¡¯t y the sympathy card!¡± Xiao Zhiwei interrupted angrily, ¡°You¡¯re worried that I might run away, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°What nonsense is that!¡± Her father warned her, before turning to Xiao Yebai, ¡°Yebai, I knew you wouldn¡¯t ignore our family¡¯s Weiwei. After all, your aunt and I raised you for eight years. You¡¯re much more respectful than Weiwei, you know gratitude¡¡±
¡°Brother!¡± Xiao Zhiwei interrupted, ¡°What did I do wrong, why do you despise me so much? Why do you go back on your word!¡±
Weiwei, her mother scolded, ¡°speak properly to your brother.¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Xiao Zhiwei trembled, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you know that four years ago they forced me to marry that old man¡¡±
¡°What do you mean ¡®old man1?¡± Her mother interjected.
¡°If I hadn¡¯t escaped then, that pervert would¡¯ve tortured me to death long ago!¡±
¡°What nonsensical things are you saying¡¡±
That¡¯s enough!¡± A chilled voice from the man overwhelmed the sickroom.
He looked at the three people in front of him, ¡°Medical fees, hospital fees, everything has been pre-paid. The person, I¡¯ll hand over to you now.¡±
Hearing these words, Xiao Zhiwei screamed hysterically, ¡°I don¡¯t want to! Brother, didn¡¯t you promise me? Why? Why would you go back on your word!¡±

Madam Xing sternly said, ¡°I always thought that although Wanwan has been headstrong since she was a child, she still had a clear sense of right and wrong. Otherwise, Xueqin wouldn¡¯t have defended you all these years. It turns out that I, an old woman, was wrong about you.¡±
Although the others didn¡¯t express their opinions, the situation was clear.
Su Wanwan felt oppressed and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°So, based on a few photos and some gossip, you have all concluded that I intentionally pushed Su Yanyan downstairs and caused her to lose her child? Could it be that despite your years, you can¡¯t even distinguish right from wrong?¡±
¡°Insolent!¡± Master Xing roared, the veins throbbing on his forehead, ¡°How dare a young girl like you speak to me like this! Do you know, even if Huo Yuanshan were here, he would have to respectfully address me as the old leader!¡±
¡°Old Xing, don¡¯t get angry,¡± Su Xueqin hurriedly pacified, ¡°This matter indeed involves Wanwan¡¯s mistake. Both she and Yanyan are my granddaughters. I can¡¯t favor one over the other¡¡±
¡°Grandpa!¡± Su Yanyan cried out, adding fuel to the fire, ¡°Now my child is gone, it¡¯s your great-grandson who¡¯s gone! That was a living life!¡±
Su Xueqin frowned deeply.
Yes.
A life, not even three months old, was gone just like that.
He frowned deeply and said in a heavy voice, ¡°Wanwan,e over here.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him.
A few secondster, she hesitated and walked over.
Once she was in front of his wheelchair, Su Xueqin said, ¡°Wanwan, Grandpa knows you¡¯re a good girl, and you mustn¡¯t have meant to push Yanyan down the stairs. Nobody wants to see such a incident. But no matter what, you yed a role in this incident, and you carry some responsibility. If you still consider me your grandfather and are willing to listen to me, Imand you now to lower your head and apologize to Grandfather Xing!¡±
He humbled himself and tried to reason with her, but to his surprise¡
¡°I did nothing wrong!¡±
Su Xueqin lost his patience. He swung his walking stick and hit Su Wanwan on the left shoulder, creating a loud ¡°bang¡±.
On the nearby sickbed, Su Yanyan watched without blinking, the depths of her eyes full of unabashed pleasure and excitement.
She had to grit her teeth tightly to control herself from bursting intoughter.
Su Wanwan, keep reveling in your arrogance. Now, even the grandfather who has protected you since your childhood is punishing you in front of everyone for my sake. Does it hurt? Are you heartbroken?
¡°Are you going to apologize or not?¡± Su Xueqin asked again.
¡°I said I did nothing wrong!¡±
Su Xueqin:¡±¡¡±
The hand gripping the walking stick trembled slightly because of the force.
He knew that this granddaughter was stubborn, but he had no idea¡
That she would be this stubborn!
She still wouldn¡¯t concede even after being hit with the walking stick!
Was it that hard to apologize?
Su Wanwan stood there defiantly. There was a crimson hue in her eyes, her expression was cold, and her left arm was numb from the pain.
She felt like an isted ind at the moment, with the people in this room representing the surging tides all around, moring, madly trying to destroy her¡
Su Xueqin looked at her and sighed heavily, ¡°Okay, if that¡¯s the case, today I will discipline the younger generation on behalf of the Su Family. I hope you will remember this lesson and will not act impulsively and recklessly in the future!¡±
Just as he was about to hit her for the second time with his raised walking stick, a ¡°bang¡± resounded as the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, hitting the wall with a ¡°ng¡±.
The sudden sound startled Su Yanyan into screaming.
Then, a familiar yet deep male voice rang out, ¡°Sorry, babe, I¡¯mte.¡±
When Su Wanwan looked up, she saw Huo Jingshen standing at the door.
He was dressed in a crisply tailored ck suit, a pristine white shirt underneath, and a perfectly knotted dark tie. His expression was cold, and he exuded an air of aloof elegance.
In front of everyone, he leisurely lowered his raised foot.
His trousers were as sharp as a knife¡¯s edge, reflecting light off his ck leather shoes. At this moment, he was the picture of elegance, acting as if the kick that had just taken ce wasn¡¯t his doing.
Nangong Ci¡¯s handsome face twitched a few times at the sight from the hallway.
He had actually kicked open the expensive, solid door of his hospital!
As a public figure with journalists around, could he be a little more civilized?
The others in the room were also dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago, Huo Jingshen was a high and mighty CEO who didn¡¯t respond to Nangong Ci¡¯s pleas, but now he was kicking down doors. Incredibly crude!
Themotion was so loud that several medical staff, patients and their families in the hallway came to see what was happening.
Nangong Ci waved his hand to let the security disperse the crowd. At the same time, he ordered his secretary, ¡°Hurry up and bring them directly to the ward, and get Dr. Wang toe over as well.¡±
¡°Yes, Deputy Director.¡±
In the sickroom, Master Xing¡¯s voice came out, unable to suppress his fury, ¡°Rascal! What do you think you are doing?¡±
Su Xueqin, sitting in his wheelchair, clutched his chest with one hand, his heart was throbbing in fright due to the noise.
¡°Sorry, I was too worried about my baby, so I forgot to knock.¡± Huo Jingshen replied with tant nonchnce and righteousness.
The crowd was speechless:¡±¡.¡±

¡°Oh, skipping ss only a few days into the term, huh? Having a backing really is something!¡± Lin Qiao said, ncing again at the luxury car driving off in the distance.
Even though she didn¡¯t recognize the model, she knew it was a kind of Bentley, worth at least several millions.
What a crafty thing, she has managed to hook such a rich man to drop her off at school.
But she couldn¡¯t make out how the man inside the car looked like because the windows were tinted.
I bet he¡¯s a doddering old man in his sixties.
Lin Qiao thought to herself with contempt.
Looking at Su Wanwan, with her hair in a mess and beaming face, she could tell she wasing fresh from some man¡¯spany.
They couldn¡¯t have been fooling around in the car just a moment ago, could they?
The very thought of that disgraceful scene made Lin Qiao¡¯s face turn red with anger.
Such a shameless lowlife!
Su Wanwan looked at her, ¡°Lin Qiao, have I ever eaten rice from your house?¡±
Why do you grit your teeth every time you see me?
¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qiao was taken aback.
Su Wanwan sneered, and decided she had no more time to waste. She turned around and walked away.
¡°Su Wanwan, where are you running off to? Stop right there! Su Wanwan!¡± Lin Qiao stomped her foot in anger, ¡°Lowlife! Clearly acting like a guilty thief!¡±

Just as she entered the ssroom, the ss bell rang. Su Wanwan seamlessly slipped in with the other students.
However, she had left abruptly at noon, and she still only had the morning Journalism textbook in her bag.
She just had to wing it for now.
Pretty soon, the ssroom seats filled up with students. Li Mochou came in and began the lesson.
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
But good things neverst. All of a sudden, Li Mochou said, ¡°This English passage is a bit long. Would any of the students be willing to read it aloud for the ss?¡±
¡°Present!¡± Lin Qiao raised her hand.
Su Wanwan wrinkled her brow subconsciously.
As expected.
¡°Professor, I suggest Su Wanwan read it. She did a great jobst time I heard her.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Li Mochou agreed.
Under the eyes of everyone, Su Wanwan could only stand up.
Lin Qiao instantly smiled triumphantly.
Are all these people blind?
She came to ss without a textbook, let¡¯s see her try to read thin air!
Su Wanwan looked around.
She had just transferred in, and she didn¡¯t know anyone in the ss well. Not to mention, she sat alone at the back, there was no one to borrow from.
She decided she had better be honest.
¡°Sorry, professor. I didn¡¯t bring the textbook.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Mochou furrowed her brow instantly.
All the students turned to look.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Brazen enough to ck off during Li Mochou¡¯s ss. Such audacity.
The smile on Lin Qiao¡¯s face grew even more triumphant.
Su Wanwan spoke calmly, ¡°Professor, I had a fall at noon and had to be treated at a hospital.¡±
She took out the receipt Huo Jingshen had flung into her bag, walked up to the podium, and said earnestly, ¡°This is my receipt from the hospital. I had wasted too much time getting in line, and I didn¡¯t want to miss your ss, so I did not go back to the dorm to grab my textbook.¡±
¡°Oh, so that¡¯s why.¡± Li Mochou nced at the receipt and her tone softened significantly, ¡°You should have asked for leave ahead of time if you were injured. I¡¯m not an unreasonable professor. Alright, you may sit.¡±
¡°Thank you, professor.¡±

When ss was over and Li Mochou left, the entire ssroom was instantly liberated.
Today is Friday, the first weekend since the term started was just around the corner, and many people were already discussing how they would celebrate. Lin Qiao was packing up her stuff when suddenly, ¡°Bang¡±!
A thick ¡°History of Chinese News Communication¡± textbook pped down onto her table.
She was startled.
The chatter in the ssroom was instantly silenced.
Su Wanwan was standing next to her desk, looking down at her and said, ¡°Lin Qiao, all you do all day is y these third-rate tricks. Are you brain-dead or just stupid?¡±
With an audible gasp, the ssroom instantly went wild.
¡°Wow, are they tearing at each other?¡±
¡°I like a pretty girl who swears!¡±
¡°The new girl has guts, picking a fight with the queen bee directly!¡±
Lin Qiao was a bit outraged.
But¡
All these people in the ss are her ssmates. Jian Shuhao was sitting right next to her. As the beauty queen of her department, she must maintain her image and couldn¡¯t resort to badnguage andck of manners like Su Wanwan.
So, she could only retort in a veiled manner, ¡°Su Wanwan, just because you have a sugar daddy, doesn¡¯t mean you can insult others however you wish!¡±
Sugar Daddy?
At the mention of these words, the ss got even more excited, boys and girls alike were murmuring among themselves.
Su Wanwan, however, thought of the encounter at the school gate earlier.
So¡
Was she referring to Huo Jingshen as Sugar Daddy?
She chuckled, ¡°Why don¡¯t you find a few sugar daddies yourself, make sure they¡¯re even better than mine. If you can¡¯t, then know your ce. Stop bbing behind my back. You¡¯re nothing but a spineless coward!¡±
Lin Qiao rocketed to her feet,¡±You..¡±
¡°You, what you?¡± Su Wanwan cut her off, ¡°But to be honest, for someone like you, finding a sugar daddy could be a bit difficult.¡±
She looked Lin Qiao up and down, clucked her tongue in disdain and mockery, ¡°Do you think pping on makeup can charm a man? How tacky! Instead of trying to pick a fight with me, you¡¯re better off reading more fashion magazines and leveling up your style. Here we are in September, and you¡¯re still wearing tank tops, exposing your cleavage and back as if you¡¯re a streetwalker. Isn¡¯t your boyfriend embarrassed to be seen with you?¡±
Jian Shuhao, sitting nearby, looked noticeably distressed at her words.
¡°Su Wanwan!¡± Lin Qiao was shaking with anger..

Huo Jingshen only gave her a few thousand yuan for living expenses, she wasn¡¯t extravagant enough to spend it all on a birthday gift.
¡°I¡¯ll ask Rong An to bring the car to the ground floor and take you home first. I still have to go to the old mansion for dinnerter.
¡°Okay.¡±
While Mo Weiyi was on the phone, Su Wanwan nced around, and then she saw a gift shop.
¡°Wee ¡± The cashier greeted her enthusiastically, ¡°Miss, feel free to look around. Today is our store¡¯s anniversary and selected items are discounted by 12%.¡±
A12% discount?
Su Wanwan immediately walked in.
She chose a ck, simple phone case from a row of them.
She looked at the price, 588 yuan.
Damn, a phone case is so expensive!
¡°Can this item be discounted?¡±
The cashier took a nce, ¡°I am sorry, this item is not discountable.¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°Miss, what do you think about this pair of couple phone cases? They can be discounted to 80% off. The total for the pair is only 588 yuan, it¡¯s quite a deal.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at the couple phone cases she was holding. The men¡¯s model was ck Mickey and the women¡¯s was red Minnie. When put together, their fingers formed a heart.
Umm, this¡
Even she thought the design was childish, not to mention the mboyant colors.
¡°Is there anything cheaper?¡± Su Wanwan asked.
¡°No, this pair is the cheapest,¡± the saleswoman pushed hard for the sale. ¡°This Mickey and Minnie design is really popr right now. Many young couples have bought this from us.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
But she¡¯s supposed to be giving the gift to a thirty-year-old man!
¡°Wanwan, the car is here.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice rang out from outside.
In a hurry, Su Wanwan said, ¡°Wrap it up for me.
¡°Sure, Miss.¡±
Hurrying back outside, Mo Weiyi asked her, ¡°What did you buy?¡±
¡°Nothing, just taking a look.¡± Su Wanwan coughed.
-I¡¯ll have Rong An take you home. I¡¯ll take my driver¡¯s car back to the mansion for dinner.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Once outside, they both got into separate cars and parted ways.
In the car, Su Wanwan gave the address and then took out her phone, only to discover that it had automatically shut down due to low battery.
The ck Audi traveled smoothly. With no phone to y with, Su Wanwan was bored. So, she said, ¡°Rong An, can you y some music?¡±
Rong An responded with a stiff voice, ¡°I don¡¯t have any music in my car.¡±
So dull?
¡°Can we y the radio then?¡±
¡°No radio either.¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°Then, how about you sing for me?¡±
¡°¡I don¡¯t know how to sing.¡±
Ha ha ha, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but want tough.
How could Weiyi stand this bodyguard?
He was definitely one who was sparing with his words.
A whileter, looking at the pair of couple phone cases she¡¯d just bought, Su Wanwan felt more and more that they were childish. Unable to hold back, she spoke again, ¡°Rong An, what sort of presents have your girlfriends given you for your birthdays?¡±
Rong An looked to be in his mid-twenties, he¡¯s a man after all. Asking him might provide some reference points. Who knew¡
¡°I don¡¯t have a girlfriend.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Alright then.
He was truly a conversation killer.
She gave up trying to talk to him.
**
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Court vi.
At the dining table, Fu Ziyang was asionally ncing at Huo Jingshen across from him as he chewed his rice.
Why does Uncle Huo keep furrowing his brow?
Just then, a cellphone on the table started to ring.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes flickered, but when he saw the screen, his expression returned to one of indifference.
¡°Grandma.¡±
¡°Ashen, it¡¯s the weekend tomorrow. Why don¡¯t you bring Wanwan home for dinner and stay the night at the big house?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Grandma Huo was surprised, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡±
¡Huo Jingshen furrowed his brows, not saying anything.
¡°Oh, right. Last time you said that your friend¡¯s son was also staying at your ce, right? Why don¡¯t you bring him along tomorrow¡¡±
¡°No.¡±
Grandma Huo finally sensed something was off, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you having a disagreement with Wanwan?¡±
¡Again, he said nothing.
Grandma Huo became anxious, her voice raising considerably, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You are an adult, already married, why haven¡¯t you grown up? Wanwan is only 20, she¡¯s still a child, you should be coddling her¡¡± ¡°Grandma.¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted, ¡°It¡¯s children who need strict discipline.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Grandma Huo scolded, ¡°Discipline, what discipline? She is your wife, someone you marry to spend your life with. I don¡¯t hope for a strong woman from our family, I just wish she could give you a child soon, so that your parents can rest in peace. My poor Ze Cheng, gone too soon, I, an elder, sending off a younger one¡¡±
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine interrupted her sad reminiscing. Huo Jingshen interrupted his grandmother, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡± ¡°You better remember what I¡¯ve said, Ashen¡
Huo Jingshen immediately hung up the call. He got up and walked out.
The ck Audi slowly stopped in front of the vi¡¯s gate.
just as Su Wanwan grabbed her bag, she heard Rong An¡¯s voice, ¡°Your husband?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Your husband.¡±
Upon raising her head, Su Wanwan saw a tall figure walking towards the entrance.
Oh no.
She quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m getting out now. You should turn around immediately and drive away without looking back. Do you hear me?
Rong An:¡±¡¡±
He was just driving her home, why did she make it seem like he was caught in an affair?
¡°Don¡¯t stop the car no matter what noise you hear!¡± Su Wanwan emphasized once more. After saying that, she immediately got out of the car, continuously waving her hands at him, making all sorts of explicit and implicit gestures.
Rong An looked at her expressionlessly..

Chapter 181:181, having ulterior motives
Trantor: 549690339
As far as she can remember, no matter whether it was in Nancheng, or during the years when she was in America, her parents¡¯ rtionship was never good.
After Qu Zizun¡¯spany dered bankruptcy a few years back, their marriage started teetering on the edge of copse. Arguments every three days, blowout fights every five, they finally divorced six months ago.
What she couldn¡¯t ept was that Xu Jing had agreed to leave the marriage without taking a single penny in alimony.
Qu Yunyao thought her mother was too weak, not even able to fight for what she deserved, which had made her, her daughter, bear a lot of hardship as a
result.
Not at all like her aunt, who despite leaving the world at a young age due a good marriage, her daughter was raised like a princess in the Mo family.
Mo Weiyi was truly an admired woman, so high above, always got what she wanted, and never put anyone in her sight¡
**
After leaving the restroom, Qu Yunyao looked at the doorway. With a turn of thought, she headed in the opposite direction of the corridor.
As expected, when she circled the vi, she spotted Xiaoyebai who was standing in the corridor making a call.
He was holding his phone as a cigarette was caught between his slender fingers. Compared to his cultured and refined manner when he was in front o everyone earlier, his present image exuded azy and wild charm.
**
¡°The matter you asked me to look into has been sorted out.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
-Your uncle and aunt have been staying at a hotel nearby the hospital for the past few days. It seems your uncle was somewhat injured but it¡¯s not serious. Lately, apart from going in and out of the hospital to take care of your cousin, they haven¡¯t made any other moves.¡±
Xiaoyebai pressed his thin lips together after hearing these words, falling silent.
¡°I¡¯ve also checked their ounts, there¡¯s been no deposit these few days. If you¡¯re really suspicious, we can ask thepany¡¯s finance department to check on Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s ounts.¡±
¡°Without the money, they can¡¯t be so quiet.¡± Xiaoyebai said lightly.
¡°What are you suspecting?¡±
¡°¡¡± Xiaoyebai didn¡¯t say anything.
¡°You¡¯ve already checked.¡± the voice on the other side of the call sighed, ¡°Eight million, it¡¯s indeed not a huge amount for Mo Yaoxiong but if he transferred it through thepany¡¯s ount, there would be traces. So, if he¡¯s keeping it such a secret while giving the money in private, he must have something to
hide. Could it be¡¡±
The voice on the phone turned serious, ¡°Did he leave something incriminating in the hands of your uncle and aunt?¡±
Xiaoyebai narrowed his eyes slightly, under the dim light of the balcony, his handsome features grew more obscure.
After taking a drag of his cigarette he said, ¡°Keep investigating. Call me if anythinges up.¡±
¡°Alright. Also take care of thepany¡¯s business.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡®You¡¯veid off quite a few old stakeholders of Mo family these past years. Most of them were your grandfather¡¯s old subordinates. Some were Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s old friends. There¡¯s too much dirtyundry in the Mo family¡¯s past. If they want to clean their te, they won¡¯t have any convenience to break things off with these people. So they let you y the bad guy, letting you be the hardliner. Now, Mo family is smooth sailing, but even a rabbit will bite when it¡¯s cornered, if they backfire, the most dangerous one will be you.¡±
Xiaoyebai said, ¡°I keep it in mind.¡±
¡ö¡öAnyway, better safe than sorry. I¡¯ll be back in a few days. We¡¯ll catch up over drinks.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
He ended the call, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to leave.
Qu Yunyao stood in the corner of thewn outside the balcony, holding her breath and listening, until the sound of footsteps disappearedpletely.
Then she turned around and went back the same way she came.
**
In the living room, the projector was showing aedy show on the big screen.
When Mo Weiyi saw Xiaoyebai return, she immediately said, ¡°Xiaobai,e and have strawberries. Granny brought them over, they¡¯re so sweet.¡±
As Xiaoyebai got closer to her, she handed him the half-eaten strawberry in her hand.
Xiaoyebai bent over and took a bite off the strawberry in her hand. ¡°Is it sweet?¡± Mo Weiyi asked with her beautiful cat eyes watching him.
¡°Hmm.¡± Xiaoyebai replied.
Mo Weiyi smiled immediately, her eyes curving, ¡°Want more?¡±
She was beautiful, and when she smiled, she was sweeter. Xiaoyebai looked at her and his lips curled up slightly, ¡°Eat less, your period is almost here.¡±
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, ¡°Ah, soon?¡±
¡°Tomorrow.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
It¡¯s strange that Xiaoyebai could never remember any holiday or anniversary, but he always knew when her period was due, how many days itsted, and remembered these very urately.
So she never bothered to remember those days and let him remind her, only this time¡
Mo Weiyi put the strawberry down, and a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Up to now she still didn¡¯t have any physical response, could it be¡ ¡°Yunyao.¡± Xu Jing called out, ¡°Why were you in the restroom for so long? Your uncle wanted to ask you about the piano grade exam.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked over.
Qu Yunyao sat down on the couch and politely said, ¡°I¡¯ve recently been practicing Beethoven¡¯s Sonata in G Minor, First Movement, but no matter how much I practice, I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯m ying it well.¡±
Xu Jing said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t rush. There is a process to learning the piano.¡± ¡°I remember my brother-inw is pretty good at ying the piano, right?¡± Qu
Yunyao asked.
¡°Correct,¡± Mo Yaoxung said immediately, ¡°Yebai got his grade ten certificates in piano and violin a long time ago.¡±
¡°Wow brother-inw is so amazing!¡± Qu Yunyao said with a look of admiration, ¡°He¡¯s handsome, good at work, and has such high musical talent¡. Weiyi, you must have saved the Milky Way in yourst life, right?¡±

Xiao Yebai:
¡°Hehe.¡± After finishing signing, Mo Weiyi¡¯s mood greatly improved, and she once again buried her face in the man¡¯s embrace, coyly cooing, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I need to chat with grandma soon, and then I¡¯ll apany you to bed.¡±
The man raised an eyebrow, ¡°Hmm,¡± and stepped away from her.
**
Mrs. Xu¡¯s guestroom was situated on the first floor of a vi at the southernmost corner.
The vi, styled in minimalist American fashion, had been Xiao Yebai¡¯s home ever since he arrived at the Mo Family home. They would always stay here whenever they return.
Having led Mo Weiyi to the olddy¡¯s room, Xiao Yebai went to the adjoining study to handle somepany matters.
It wasn¡¯t long before his phone rang.
Looking at the name on the screen, he frowned but still answered the call.
¡°Brother.¡± On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s voice came through, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was indifferent.
¡°Brother, tomorrow is the weekend, could youe to the hospital to visit me?¡±
As if afraid Xiao Yebai would refuse, she quickly added, ¡°I¡¯ve been recovering these past few days and have done a lot of thinking. I realize everything was my fault, and I want to apologize to you in person. Can I?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± His voice remained indifferent, exuding an aloof chill.
¡°But, brother, my parents said they¡¯ll take me back to Tongcheng the day after tomorrow¡ I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll get another chance to see you again¡¡± Her voice wobbled with an impending sob, ¡°Brother, I really just want to see you one more time. Can¡¯t I do that?¡±
¡°Xiao Zhiwei.¡± The man¡¯s voice carried a hint of annoyance, ¡°Since you¡¯ve decided to go back, you should focus on starting anew.¡±
¡°Brother.¡± Xiao Zhiwei finally started crying, ¡°But you know, I don¡¯t want to go back at all! I¡¯m being forced! My parents ¡ what else do they do other than forcing me to get married? In their eyes, I¡¯m just a useless daughter. Other than marrying me off for some dowry, do they care about my feelings? Do they even care about my life and death? Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t know all of this?¡±
Xiao Yebai remained silent.
Silence, almost to the point of cruelty.
After a burst of whimpering, Xiao Zhiwei spoke again, ¡°I know, what I did a few days ago was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have deliberately provoked Miss Mo, and I definitely shouldn¡¯t have asked the kid to go downstairs and scare her¡ so, this time I won¡¯t ask anything of you. Once I¡¯m back, whether I live or die, I will not bother you anymore. But¡ I really just want to see you onest time, is that too much? If you¡¯re worried, bring Miss Mo with you. I will apologize to her in person.¡±
¡°She doesn¡¯t know about the things you¡¯ve done.¡±
The other end of the phone fell intoplete silence.
His slender finger tapped twice on the ck table. Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Wait.¡± Xiao Zhiwei hastily interrupted him, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll apologize to her about past things, is that okay?¡±
She had humbled herself and pleaded, only to be met with the man¡¯s merciless refusal.
¡°I said there¡¯s no need. I¡¯m hanging up now.¡±
**
The hospital room.
Xiao Zhiwei looked at the screen that was gradually darkening. The hand holding the phone was white from the force of her grip, while her face was twisted with jealousy to the point of madness.
The day she returned to the country, she had intentionally bought an abortion pill after getting off the ne, calcted the onset of its effects, and then called Xiao Yebai.
She had thought he would stay with her at the hospital, but to her surprise, he had left before she had evene out of the operating room.
She knew that day was Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi¡¯s wedding anniversary.
What an ironic day.
It was on this day four years ago that she was forced onto a ne to study in Canada by the Mo Family¡¯s bodyguards.
She also knew that all of this was because Mo Weiyi disliked her.
After all, since she was a child, she had been the only woman close to Xiao Yebai. Because of their rtionship, they had once lived under the same roof, going to school together, eating together, doing homework together, sleeping in bunk beds together¡
During the four years in Canada, she tried desperately to return to her home country, only to be rejected by Mo Yaoxiong.
For the happiness of his only daughter, he was even willing to let her, an innocent person, wander in a foreign country.
She hated Mo Yaoxiong, but more than that, she hated Mo Weiyi.
So when she finally got the chance to return to her home country, she did everything she could to provoke Mo Weiyi.
This woman had been pampered like a princess since she was a child. She was high and mighty, capricious and short-tempered, especially when it came to Xiao Yebai. The fact that she disliked Xiao Zhiwei meant she couldn¡¯t stand the slightest provocation.
So, despite knowing she needed to rest after an abortion, she took risks and deliberately fell, making her body continuously show various symptoms¡
Until the doctor told her that her uterus was severely damaged and she would never be able to bear children again¡
But she didn¡¯t regret it at all.
Because she didn¡¯t want that child in the first ce, and what difference would it make if her body was ruined? She couldn¡¯t be with the man she loved, and she definitely wouldn¡¯t carry and give birth to another man¡¯s child. That dead child was just a tool for her to return to the country..

Suddenly, the phone on the sofa rang.
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°Answer the phone.¡±
Mo Weiyi, however, held onto him and wouldn¡¯t let go, ¡°It must be Wanwan calling, you don¡¯t have to answer.¡±
The little brat always knew how to interrupt at the worst times!
The phone kept ringing stubbornly for a while before it finally stopped.

Inside the West Garden Vi.
In the living room, Xu Jing put down the phone, ¡°It¡¯s toote, Yiyi might be asleep, she didn¡¯t pick up.¡±
Qu Yunyao, dressed in a pure white onesie, looked upset, ¡°What should I do if myputer is broken? I promised to send the revised script to the director tonight. The servants do not know how to fix it, my only option is to ask my brother-inw for help¡ Mom, can you call Yiyi for me again?¡±
¡°Yunyao, you can¡¯t be so unreasonable.¡± Xu Jing educated her daughter, ¡°It¡¯ste, it¡¯s not nice to disturb others¡¯ rest.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Qu Yunyao muttered, ¡°But it¡¯s not even eleven o¡¯clock yet.¡±
¡°If not¡¡± Xu Jing thought for a moment, ¡°I can call your uncle for you, let him help you out?¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you directly ask my uncle for my brother-inw¡¯s number instead, isn¡¯t that easier.¡±
Xu Jing couldn¡¯t help but frown, ¡°I just called Yiyi and she didn¡¯t answer. They must be together, can¡¯t you understand?¡±
¡°¡¡± Qu Yunyao closed her lips tightly and could only say, ¡°I understand.¡±
In front of her mother, she had to act like a well-behaved child ¨C she had to be considerate, she had to concede, she couldn¡¯t be too wilful.
She stood up, her voice gentle, ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll go to bed first.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you want your uncle to help you with yourputer?¡±
¡°No need, I¡¯ll deal with it tomorrow.¡± Qu Yunyao turned around, the sweet smile on her face instantly disappearing.

The following morning.
The first thing Mo Weiyi did after getting up was to look for her phone.
She discovered that it wasn¡¯t Wanwan who had called, but a local number she didn¡¯t recognize.
¡°Who is this? Calling me in the middle of the night, it¡¯s ridiculous.¡±
Xiao Yebai took a nce and said, ¡°It might be a spam call.¡±
A spam call?
Mo Weiyi frowned, about to return the call¡
¡°Wait, I¡¯ll have Zhong Kai help you change your number.¡±
Mo Weiyi was surprised, ¡°Why should I change my number?¡±
Xiao Yebai said: ¡°You¡¯ve been using this mobile number for over ten years. When shopping and so on, you might have exposed it too much without noticing, which is why you¡¯re getting so many spam calls.¡±
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, ¡°But changing numbers is bothersome¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not, as long as family and friends know the new number, it doesn¡¯t matter if other people don¡¯t.¡±
That made sense.
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t have many friends and she barely kept in contact with her ssmates.
So she nodded, ¡°Alright, let Zhong Kai help me change it. I want an easy-to-remember number.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±

After the two of them had gotten ready, they went downstairs to the dining hall for breakfast.
Since the old man got up early and they had guests, everyone was already seated in the dining room.
As soon as Mo Weiyi sat down, Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°Yebai, after breakfast, help Yunyao with herputer.¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately turned to look at Qu Yunyao, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with yourputer?¡±
¡°Myptop suddenly won¡¯t turn on. I wanted to ask my brother-inw for helpst night, but I was afraid to disturb your rest.¡± Qu Yunyao exined, looking across at the neat and gentle man, ¡°So after breakfast, can you help me check it out, brother-inw?¡±
¡°If theptop is broken, just buy a new one.¡±
The person who spoke was still Mo Weiyi. Her delicate brows and eyes were filled with a strong and obvious aura of authority, ¡°Don¡¯t bother my husband with such minor things. He¡¯s very busy. If you and my aunt are going to live here, if you need anything, just find Aunt Zhou or Uncle Shi. If not, find my dad.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong coughed twice.
This daughter, her way of speaking and doing things is too straightforward.
Qu Yunyao visibly faltered at the direct confrontation. She stammered, ¡°But¡ there¡¯s a half-edited script on myptop, it¡¯s not as simple as getting a newputer¡¡±
Her voice gradually dropped, and she hung her head low.
¡°All right, let Yebai take a look at yourputer.¡± Mo Yaoxiong ended the discussion with a crash of his fist on the table, then turned to his daughter, with a somewhat stern tone, ¡°Weiyi, Yunyao is your sister..¡±

¡°She¡¯s not rted by blood.¡± Mo Weiyi muttered under her breath.
Words spoken carelessly can have significant consequences.
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s expression wavered.
As for Xu Jing, she also appeared surprised.
¡°Weiyi and I are heading to the hospitalter.¡± A man¡¯s deep voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Yaoxiong snapped back to reality, ¡°To the hospital? Why?¡±
Xiao Yebai, holding his coffee casually, replied with indifference, ¡°Zhiwei returns to Tongcheng tomorrow.¡±
So, that was it.
¡°Since she¡¯s leaving tomorrow, it¡¯s fitting for us to visit her at the hospital as her brother and sister-inw.¡± Mo Yaoxiong said, turning to his daughter, ¡°When we¡¯re there, remember to speak politely. No more unnecessary tantrums, understood?¡±
Mo Weiyi had no intention of paying him any mind.
What kind of father, she thought, scolded her in front of others? Hmph.
She picked up her soy milk, engrossed in her own drink, apparently oblivious to him.
Seeing her like that, Mo Yaoxiong was about to reprimand her, but¡
¡°So,¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°I¡¯ll have Rong An check Miss Bing¡¯sputer.¡±
Rong An?
Mo Weiyi¡¯s bodyguard?
Qu Yunyao frowned, ¡°But myputer seems to be virus-infected. It¡¯splex, and the script on it is crucial¡¡±
A bodyguard, all brawn and no brain, what could he possibly do?
Xiao Yebai¡¯s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile, his downcastshes concealing any hint of emotion.
Mo Yaoxiong chimed in matter-of-factly, ¡°Letting Rong An take a look is a good idea. I had nearly forgotten that Rong An was a top-notchputer science major. Fixingputers should be a piece of cake for him, so don¡¯t worry, Yunyao.¡±
Qu Yunyao:¡±¡¡±
Seriously? What a coincidence?
A random bodyguard just happens to be a highly qualifiedputer science graduate?
But since Mo Yaoxiong had put forth this suggestion, she couldn¡¯t really object.
**
After lunch, Qu Yunyao, followed by the mysterious, ck-d bodyguard, headed towards West Garden Vi.
They entered the living room.
¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll go grab myputer from the bedroom.¡±
She quickly went into her room and returned gripping herptop.
Seeing the bodyguard attempting to fix herputer by the coffee table, she asked, ¡°Can you do it?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°The script on it is crucial. Be careful not to lose it.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°First try and fix it yourself. If you can¡¯t, we¡¯ll have my brother-inw look at it, alright?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Qu Yunyao:¡±¡¡±
Was he mute or deaf?
Could he only respond with a single word?
A whileter, she heard the tter of the keyboard. Unable to resist, she warned him, ¡°Be careful. If you dare to lose my scripts, I¡¯ll fire you!¡±
Rong An stopped what he was doing.
He looked up, meeting her gaze calmly.
Qu Yunyao was taken aback.
What did his expression mean?
The next second, he said, ¡°Only the Princess can fire me. You¡do not have that authority.¡±
Qu Yunyao, stunned, gaped at him: ¡°You¡¡±
But by the time she formted a response, the man was already engrossed in his task again.
Qu Yunyao stood there, livid. Her teeth sunk into her lower lip, and her hands clenched into fists.
A dog is indeed the mirror of its owner!
He was merely a bodyguard from the Mo Family, how dare he show such insolence?
Before her anger could erupt again¡
¡°It¡¯s fixed.¡± Rong An stood up, finished.
Qu Yunyao was shocked.
So quickly?
She rushed over, bending down to operate theputer.
It was indeed fixed and, more importantly, her script was still there.
Looking up, she realized that she was alone in the living room.
The bodyguard¡
Had he just walked out?
How condescending!
**
A ringtone echoed within the car.
Xiao Yebai nced at the screen and answered the call, ¡°Rong An.¡±
Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Weiyi quickly turned her attention.
¡°Young Master Xiao, Miss Bing¡¯sputer was indeed broken. It seems to be due to a virus from a website.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi shot a barrage of questions his way, ¡°What happened, Xiaobai? Why did Rong An call you? Did Qu Yunyao cause more problems? Or is it a family matter?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Xiao Yebai focused on the road, ¡°I asked him to drive to the hospital to pick you upter.¡±
¡°¡Oh.¡±
**
Forty minutester, at the hospital¡
Mo Weiyi pushed open the door to the hospital room, seeing Xiao Zhiwei propped up in her hospital bed. The room was eerily empty, with Xiao Depeng and Zhang Liya nowhere in sight.
¡°Brother!¡±
Xiao Zhiwei straightened hurriedly. Her gaze held on Xiao Yebai for a moment before turning to Mo Weiyi, ¡°Miss Mo.¡±
Mo Weiyi, dressed in a long, beige dress with a golden shawl draped over, her voluminous reddish-brown curls cascading freely, was the picture of elegance, beauty, and arrogance.
Once settled on the sofa, she turned to Xiao Zhiwei squarely, ¡°Weren¡¯t you going to apologize? Get on with it.¡±
A brief moment of difort shed across Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s face.
Her hands clenched and unclenched beneath the nket before she finally spoke, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong in the past. I hope that as my sister-inw, you can show me mercy and not dwell on my past mistakes.¡±
Mo Weiyi tilted her head, fidgeting with her curls, ¡°You¡¯re Xiaobai¡¯s sister, and I am your sister-inw. Since you¡¯ve said that, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not going to hold it against you.¡±
She concluded her statement with an innocent yet dazzling smile.
Xiao Zhiwei:¡±¡¡±
She detested Mo Weiyi¡¯s arrogant demeanor.
It was as though everyone had to be inferior to her, she was always at the top, dictating and intimidating¡
Ruthless and domineering!
Chapter 188 - 188:188, Xiao Zhiwei, who are you pretending to be a saint for?
Chapter 188:188, Xiao Zhiwei, who are you pretending to be a saint for?
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Is there anything else?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice sounded again, as she looked at Xiao Yebai with a sweet and charming smile, ¡°You¡¯ve seen the person, and you¡¯ve apologized. Xiaobai, let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°Wait a moment.¡± The one speaking was Xiao Zhiwei.
Mo Weiyi turned her head towards her, ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei clenched her hands tightly, then said, ¡°I have a friend who will be here soon. He has helped me before. Now, he is in trouble and needs help¡¡±
¡°Xiao Zhiwei!¡±
Before she could finish, Mo Weiyi interrupted her, ¡°The reason Xiaobai has been helping you, as well as your pair of leech-like parents, is because you are his family members, but now, youe to Xiaobai for help when your friend is in need. Do you think this is too much? Some things, helping you is favour, not helping is justifiable, Xiaobai has absolutely no obligation to help your friend.¡±
¡°Miss Mo.¡± Xiao Zhiwei looked at her, ¡°You¡¯ve always been treated like a princess since childhood, living afortable and smooth life, getting anything you want, but do you know how many people in this world are leading unsatisfactory lives? This friend of mine once saved me. His father is gone in a car ident, his mother is ill, and he has suddenly been diagnosed with cancer, which will cost five to six hundred thousand in medical expenses. He just graduated from college this year and started working. He can¡¯t afford the medical expenses. But what does six hundred thousand mean to the Mo family? What does it mean to you, Mo Weiyi? I bet, the money you spent on a few clothes in the mall is much higher than this amount, right?¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, ¡°Just because I spend hundreds of thousands on clothes, I have to help your friend?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei smiled knowingly, ¡°So, it¡¯s just six hundred thousand. Are you, the princess of the Mo family, so stingy?¡±
Mo Weiyi found this the most annoying about her.
She always spoke with sarcasm, as if being born into a good family, having money, and being beautiful¡ was her fault?!
Xiao Zhiwei continued, ¡°My friend really has no other choice. He has borrowed from all his rtives and friends he can. I don¡¯t have any savings, and my parents don¡¯t have money, they can¡¯t help.¡±
Upon hearing this, the man¡¯s gaze slightly shifted.
It was fleeting.
¡°Your Royal Highness, can¡¯t you show some pity?¡±
The more she said that, the more Mo Weiyi resisted, ¡°Why? My money isn¡¯t just blown in by the wind. Who says I must help if you ask me to?¡±
¡°But that money isn¡¯t earned by you, it¡¯s my brother! He works hard every day, exhausts his efforts to earn money. You only need to take out six hundred thousand to help others. Wear a few less clothes, wear fewer nes, and you can save a young life. Can¡¯t you even do this?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s lips twitched slightly, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei, if I remember correctly, when you first came to my house from Tongcheng, it just happened to be your birthday. I treated you like a sister and personally selected a jade bracelet for you with my gift money. As a result, you deliberately smashed it on the ground pretending it was an ident! You know, that bracelet was worth more than two hundred thousand. Howe you didn¡¯t have such enlightenment at that time? If I didn¡¯t know you, I would almost think you are a kind-hearted person who ran from somewhere! Who are you pretending to be a goody-two-shoes for now? Aren¡¯t you ashamed of yourself?¡±
¡°Mo Weiyi!¡± Xiao Zhiwei looked embarrassed, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that bracelet was worth two hundred thousand at the time, and I really didn¡¯t mean to¡¡±
¡°Enough with your quarrelling.¡± Xiao Yebai finally spoke up, ¡°The Mo family donates to charitable organizations every year. Later, you can let your friend contact Zhong Kai. If all the information is correct, the Mo family will donate to him in thepany¡¯s name.¡±
He spoke in a calm tone, ¡°As for Weiyi, just like she said, she has no obligation to help others. In the future, don¡¯t bother her for things like this.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei did not say a word.
As for Mo Weiyi, who was originally in a good mood, looking bright and beautiful, wanting to show off her love, ended up having an inexplicable argument, leaving her in a bad mood.
She stood up with the help of her crutches, ¡°Xiaobai, I want to go home.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei nced at the time, estimated in her heart, and said, ¡°Brother, I thank you on behalf of my friend. I¡¯ll have him contact Mr. Zhong shortly.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Yebai said and then helped Mo Weiyi leave.
Once they were in the hallway outside, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but grumble, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your sister? Is she deliberately trying to upset me? Can¡¯t she ask for help in a nicer tone? All she does is belittle and mock me, it annoys me. And what¡¯s all this about me buying clothes worth hundreds of thousands? Did my buying clothes bother her too? Really¡¡±
There was a ¡®ding¡¯ sound.
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°The elevator is here, let¡¯s go.¡±
The elevator door opened, and a young man in a denim jacket walked out. When he saw Mo Weiyi standing outside, his eyes lit up instantly.
Mo Weiyi had seen this kind of gaze too many times.
She frowned her elegant eyebrows, lowered her head, and looked away.
The two quickly entered the elevator, and the door closed.
The man stood in the hallway, staring obliviously. It took him half a moment toe back to his senses and finally enter Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s ward..

¡°Here, your porridge. I had to stand in line for ages to get it,¡± he said.
Xiao Zhiwei smiled, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Song Quan put the porridge down, sat on the sofa, and fell silent.
Xiao Zhiwei had been observing his expression since he walked in. She opened up the bag, took out the porridge and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Song Quan didn¡¯t say a word.
¡°Judging by your anxious looks, did you see a beauty or something?¡±
At these words, Song Quan burst out inughter, ¡°That¡¯s why they say you¡¯re my old me. We domunicate well, don¡¯t we?¡±
¡°So, you did see a beauty?¡± said Xiao Zhiwei, with a coldugh. ¡°Ever since I met you, I knew you were a chronic womanizer, shameless to the core. You lose all reason at the sight of any slightly pretty girl.¡±
¡°That¡¯s too harsh, The one I saw this time is different,¡± Song Quan touched his chin, recalling with a suggestive smile, ¡°She¡¯s different from anyone I¡¯ve seen before. Her looks, her grace, the way she dresses, she¡¯s clearly from a wealthy family. Beautiful skin, very pretty face¡¡±
She was a bit thin. Still, overall, she was lovely and pure. If only he could spend one night with her¡
¡°What does she look like? Tell me about it.¡±
Interrupted from his daydream, Song Quan said irritably, ¡°Even if I describe her, you don¡¯t know her!¡±
¡°I may not, but I¡¯ve been in this hospital for a while and I know the nurses well. They might know who you¡¯re talking about and I can ask for you,¡± she answered.
Interested now, Song Quan quickly described, ¡°She¡¯s tall, wore a white dress and a shawl, and her hair was unusually long¡¡±
¡°I see, was she with a man?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t notice that.¡±
All he saw was the woman¡
Excitedly, Song Quan asked, ¡°Do you really know her?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei nodded, ¡°A few nurses were chatting here earlier, they mentioned a stunning girl who just arrived in the next room. Apparently, she¡¯s the campus belle of Nancheng University¡¡±
¡°Campus belle?¡± Song Quan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°No wonder she¡¯s so stunning. So, she¡¯s the campus belle¡±
¡°Give it up. She¡¯s a nice girl from a good family, unlike me. You charmed me with sweet nothings.¡± Xiao Zhiwei scorned him, ¡°Have a look at yourself. You¡¯re just a small fry with nothing to your name. She¡¯s out of your league, and she¡¯ll never take you seriously.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t I just wish?¡± Song Quan red at her irritably.
¡°Then keep daydreaming. But remember, I¡¯m leaving for Tongcheng tomorrow. If you get in trouble or get beat up, don¡¯t drag me into it.¡±
¡°Let it go, eat your food!¡± Song Quan picked up his phone and started fiddling with it.
While Xiao Zhiwei was eating her porridge at a leisurely pace, she watched as Song Quan was engrossed in his phone, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Song Quan is a small-time thug in Nancheng. He¡¯s not the smartest, but he knows a lot of local ruffians. Sometimes he also runs around causing trouble with some rich kids.
Back then, she was in a self-destructive phase, indiscriminately hooking up with all kinds of men¡ That¡¯s how Song Quan became her boyfriend for a while.
But he was too flirtatious and she wasn¡¯t the kind of beauty that he¡¯d never get tired of. So, their breakup was inevitable.
After they broke up, she was sent by the Mo family to study in Los Angeles. In the four years since, they hadn¡¯t seen each other until two days ago when they ran into each other in the hospital garden¡
Sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways.
And how could she not take advantage of a man like Song Quan?
She knows him too well. Naturally flirtatious, lecherous, and audacious. He fantasizes about any pretty girl. Mo Weiyi, clean and attractive, is his type.
Why should she be the one who ends up sick, forced to go back to Tongcheng and marry a man she doesn¡¯t love, while Mo Weiyi enjoys smooth sailing in love and life?
Little Princess, it¡¯s high time you tasted the bitterness of life.
**
After the weekend, a new week arrived.
Every Monday morning, it¡¯s a tradition for all students at Nancheng University to gather for the g-raising ceremony at eight o¡¯clock.
Today was the first g-raising ceremony of the term, and Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to bete.
After breakfast, the driver took Fu Ziyang to Wellington Academy and Huo Jingshen was responsible for sending Su Wanwan to Nancheng University.
Upon reaching the school gate, she checked the time. Seven fifty.
Bingo!
Su Wanwan unbuckled her seatbelt, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±
Her hand had just touched the car door¡
¡°Wait,¡± a deep male voice suddenly said, noticeably displeased. ¡°Baby is just leaving like this?¡±
Looking puzzled, Su Wanwan turned around, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at her, raising an eyebrow, ¡°Goodbye, kiss.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Seeing her silent, Huo Jingshen was straightforward, ¡°Kiss your husband before leaving.¡±
Su Wanwan coughed nervously, then looked forward, backward, left, and right.
Huo Jingshen:
As expected, Su Wanwan said, ¡°This is the school gate, full of people.. What if my ssmates see us?¡±
Chapter 190 - 190:190, President Huo’s image has collapsed.
Chapter 190:190, President Huo¡¯s image has copsed.
Trantor: 549690339
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face darkened, ¡°What does it matter if you saw it?¡± ¡°This car of yours is way too expensive and shy. What if my ssmates see it and think I¡¯m being kept by a rich old man?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face instantly turned even darker, ¡°Am I¡ a rich old man?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°You think your handsome and attractive husband is an old man?¡±
Su Wanwan chuckled dryly, ¡°I¡¯m runningte, I should be going.¡±
She quickly turned to get out of the car. However¡
With a ¡°click¡± sound, the car door locked.
It wouldn¡¯t budge.
¡°Exin before you leave.¡± His voice was cold and angry, ¡°Who¡¯s the old man, hmm?¡±
Su Wanwan turned to re at him, exasperated, ¡°Can¡¯t you be a bit more mature?¡±
She felt like ever since they got married, his cool demeanor hadpletely copsed!
Forget feeling mature and elegant, now he¡¯s just acting like a brat!
Huo Jingshen nced at her, raising an eyebrow leisurely upon hearing herment.
Su Wanwan¡¯s cheeks went red.
Going home for the weekend had been an ordeal.
Such a shameless man!
Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement and radiance as the morning sunlight poured in through the car window, casting a golden glow on his features.
Damn old fox!
This is the first time she¡¯s found an older man attractive.
With her cheeks flushed, she looked at him, a hint of embarrassment unknowingly surfacing in her eyes.
In the past, Su Wanwan really despised the smell of smoke, even feeling nauseous at the slightest whiff.
But now, she¡¯s not sure if it¡¯s because she¡¯s spent too much time with him but she has actually gotten used to his smoky scent.
In fact, sometimes she even finds it¡ attractive¡
¡°Good girl, let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°¡Oh.¡±
Su Wanwan got out of the car in a daze, not even sure how she managed.
It wasn¡¯t until the ck Mu Shang car slowly drove away and the powerful prelude of ¡°Athlete¡¯s March¡± suddenly rang out from within the campus that she snapped back to reality. She quickly covered her flushed cheeks with her hands.
Oh my god, did my ssmates see¡?
No one should have noticed, right?
Su Wanwan quickly took a look around, then hastily darted into the school entrance.
*
*
After searching for 10 minutes, Su Wanwan finally found her ss lines, slipped quickly into the girl¡¯s line, and stood at the very back.
Still, someone came over to pick a fight.
¡°Su Wanwan, could you pleasee earlier next time? All the ssmates are here, except you. Do you even feel sorry?¡± reprimanded Lin Qiao, d in South University¡¯s uniform and looking every inch the role model student.
Su Wanwan pressed her lips together, ¡°Got it, Committee Member Lin.¡±
Lin Qiao was the literature and artsmittee member in their ss.
Lin Qiao red at her and turned around, ¡°Everyone, be quiet! The g-raising ceremony is about to start. Be respectful!¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes.
She just couldn¡¯t be bothered with her.
Such a petty official, she¡¯s acting like a big shot!
Soon, the g-raising ceremony was over.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t see Mo Weiyie over, so she gave her a call, ¡°Weiyi, are youing to school today?¡±
¡°Not going, I¡¯m so tired.¡±
¡°What did you do to be this tired?¡± Su Wanwan asked casually.
¡°What else could I do? I was making love with Xiaobai.¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan had a face full of ck lines.
Do you really need to be so proud and straightforward about that?
¡°You¡¯re at school by eight thirty? Wanwan, it seems like your Mr. Huo is not up to par, you guys are newlyweds, he should be capable of seven or eight times a night¡¡±
¡°Erm, I am going to sign up for clubs, you go back to sleep, bye-bye.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone after saying that.
That Mo Xiaose!
Really, she can¡¯t stop talking about adult content!
She simply cannot have a normal conversation¡
¡°Hey, beautiful!¡±
¡°Beautiful!¡±
¡°Beautifuldy with the blue bag!¡±
Su Wanwan finally realized and looked over at the source of the voice.
¡°Beautiful.¡±
A chubby senior was smiling cheerfully and waving at her, ¡°Interested in pottery? Come join our pottery club! Only two sses a week and you can earn academic credits!¡±
Su Wanwan grimaced, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not interested in ceramics..¡±

¡°How could you not be interested? Do you want to have a trial first? Have you ever watched ¡®Ghost¡¯? In it, Sam and Molly made a pottery under beautiful music. It was so romantic, so aesthetically pleasing, so full of love¡ Our pottery club also has many handsome guys. Hey, beauty, don¡¯t go yet!¡±
Su Wanwan quickly left in embarrassment.
It was the day for college clubs to recruit new members. She was beautiful and a fresh face, so wherever she went, there were boys warmly greeting her.
However, she was not interested in them at all. Things like pottery, flower arranging, bamboo carving, go, drama¡
She wouldn¡¯t even bother to join any clubs if it wasn¡¯t for the credits.
In the end, Su Wanwan stood in front of the e-sports club¡¯s recruitment table.
¡°Hi, girl, do you want to join our e-sports club?¡± the bespectacled senior warmly invited.
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Do you have any requirements?¡±
¡°Do you normally like to y games? Either on PC, or mobile?¡±
¡°I y mobile games,¡± Su Wanwan said decisively, ¡°Arena of Valor, PUBG, Speed Drifters, I can y them all. I rank in the top three in every region. I¡¯m utterly wicked!¡±
¡°Wow, that¡¯s great! We have many divisions in our club, you can indicate which one you are more interested in on this form.¡± Having said that, the senior then called someone, ¡°Shuhao, Jian Shuhao!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelids twitched.
The boy who had been busily writing lifted his head.
Indeed, it was Jian Shuhao.
¡°This junior is interested in joining our mobile game division. Please serve her¡¡±
¡°No need,¡± Su Wanwan interrupted him, ¡°I don¡¯t want to join anymore.¡± ¡°What?¡± The senior was surprised.
Su Wanwan turned and left.
¡°Su Wanwan,¡± Jian Shuhao caught up with her and directly stood in front of her, ¡°Why did you decide not to join the club? Is it because of me?¡±
Su Wanwan felt her eyelids twitching more intensely and quickly said, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then why? Are you afraid that Lin Qiao will misunderstand?¡±
Before Su Wanwan could respond, he quickly said, ¡°Then there¡¯s even less reason to worry because Lin Qiao and I have already broken up.¡±
Su Wanwan paused slightly.
They¡¯ve broken up already?
So soon?
That¡¯s a pretty fragile rtionship, isn¡¯t it?
Did they break up because of what happened in the ssroom that day?
¡°Our e-sports club is actually really fun, especially the Arena of Valor division.
We have club activities every week, such as teaming up for battles, team-building at restaurants, and sometimes even scrimmages vs professional teams in 5v5 matches. In fact, next month, the professional Arena of Valorpetition will begin, and by then, I¡¯ll also organize everyone to experience it live on site.¡± After finishing, Jian Shuhao smiled slightly, ¡°So, are you interested in joining the Arena of Valor division?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
What to do? It does sound somewhat tempting.
The ability to eat, y, and earn credits, all while ying a game she excels at¡
¡°Su Wanwan!¡±
A familiar female voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Su Wanwan turned around and saw Lin Qiao walking towards her with a fierce momentum. Once she arrived, she immediately raised her hand to p her.
However, Jian Shuhao quickly stopped her.
This made Lin Qiao even angrier. She first looked at Jian Shuhao, then at Su Wanwan, ¡°How dare you, you shameless wench. You¡¯re trying to seduce my boyfriend right in front of everyone! You¡¯ve got no shame! You¡¯re a vixen! Do you not get enough satisfaction from all those old men? You¡¯re nothing but a green tea bitch!¡±
Her words were too offensive, and Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help it, she pped Lin Qiao right across the face.
An ¡°Ah!¡± of surprise, apanied by the sound of a crisp p, echoed simultaneously.
The noisy scene went silent all at once.
Under the scrutiny of all eyes, Lin Qiao covered her face, her rage and shame red after the initial shock.
Being pped in public, how could she bear it?
Therefore, she bit her lips and with resentment, lifted her leg to kick Su Wanwan.
The scene immediately devolved into chaos.
Two female students were openly fighting, and while there were many spectators, nobody stopped them. It wasn¡¯t until a stern rebuke resounded, ¡°What are you doing!¡±
¡°A teacher is here!¡±
¡°It¡¯s Professor Su!¡±
¡°Professor Su is here¡¡±
Lin Qiao was pulled back by Jian Shuhao, and Su Wanwan took the opportunity to kick her leg again.
As a result, the rebuke became even more severe, ¡°Su Wanwan! You dare to kick again!¡±
Su Wanwan withdrew her leg and looked at the figure standing on the side ¨C Su Yunrong.
She was dressed in a dark suit, her hair was up, and she was wearing sses, the standard attire of a professor. She appeared stern and serious.
¡°This is a school, and you two are girls. You just finished raising the national g, and now you¡¯re fighting? In front of so many ssmates, are you not ashamed?¡±
¡°Professor, Su Wanwan hit me first. She even tore my uniform!¡± Lin Qiao pulled open her uniform to show her.
Two buttons had fallen off, leaving only thread. Her white shirt underneath was creased horribly.
Not to mention her messy hair, the fresh red print of a p on her face, and the tears of grievance in her eyes¡
It was all very convincing.
Su Yunrong immediately turned to Su Wanwan, ¡°What¡¯s going on? School just started, and you¡¯re bullying ssmates?¡±
Bullying?
Su Wanwan looked at her, so angry sheughed, ¡°You don¡¯t even ask for rification and chose to believe her? This isn¡¯t how a teacher behaves, right? Aunt.¡±
The word ¡°aunt¡± not only changed Su Yunrong¡¯s expression, but also astonished everyone around them.
Professor Su is actually Su Wanwan¡¯s aunt?
What a coincidence¡.

¡°How could you not be interested? Do you want to have a trial first? Have you ever watched ¡®Ghost¡¯? In it, Sam and Molly made a pottery under beautiful music. It was so romantic, so aesthetically pleasing, so full of love¡ Our pottery club also has many handsome guys. Hey, beauty, don¡¯t go yet!¡±
Su Wanwan quickly left in embarrassment.
It was the day for college clubs to recruit new members. She was beautiful and a fresh face, so wherever she went, there were boys warmly greeting her.
However, she was not interested in them at all. Things like pottery, flower arranging, bamboo carving, go, drama¡
She wouldn¡¯t even bother to join any clubs if it wasn¡¯t for the credits.
In the end, Su Wanwan stood in front of the e-sports club¡¯s recruitment table.
¡°Hi, girl, do you want to join our e-sports club?¡± the bespectacled senior warmly invited.
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Do you have any requirements?¡±
¡°Do you normally like to y games? Either on PC, or mobile?¡±
¡°I y mobile games,¡± Su Wanwan said decisively, ¡°Arena of Valor, PUBG, Speed Drifters, I can y them all. I rank in the top three in every region. I¡¯m utterly wicked!¡±
¡°Wow, that¡¯s great! We have many divisions in our club, you can indicate which one you are more interested in on this form.¡± Having said that, the senior then called someone, ¡°Shuhao, Jian Shuhao!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelids twitched.
The boy who had been busily writing lifted his head.
Indeed, it was Jian Shuhao.
¡°This junior is interested in joining our mobile game division. Please serve her¡¡±
¡°No need,¡± Su Wanwan interrupted him, ¡°I don¡¯t want to join anymore.¡± ¡°What?¡± The senior was surprised.
Su Wanwan turned and left.
¡°Su Wanwan,¡± Jian Shuhao caught up with her and directly stood in front of her, ¡°Why did you decide not to join the club? Is it because of me?¡±
Su Wanwan felt her eyelids twitching more intensely and quickly said, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then why? Are you afraid that Lin Qiao will misunderstand?¡±
Before Su Wanwan could respond, he quickly said, ¡°Then there¡¯s even less reason to worry because Lin Qiao and I have already broken up.¡±
Su Wanwan paused slightly.
They¡¯ve broken up already?
So soon?
That¡¯s a pretty fragile rtionship, isn¡¯t it?
Did they break up because of what happened in the ssroom that day?
¡°Our e-sports club is actually really fun, especially the Arena of Valor division.
We have club activities every week, such as teaming up for battles, team-building at restaurants, and sometimes even scrimmages vs professional teams in 5v5 matches. In fact, next month, the professional Arena of Valorpetition will begin, and by then, I¡¯ll also organize everyone to experience it live on site.¡± After finishing, Jian Shuhao smiled slightly, ¡°So, are you interested in joining the Arena of Valor division?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
What to do? It does sound somewhat tempting.
The ability to eat, y, and earn credits, all while ying a game she excels at¡
¡°Su Wanwan!¡±
A familiar female voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Su Wanwan turned around and saw Lin Qiao walking towards her with a fierce momentum. Once she arrived, she immediately raised her hand to p her.
However, Jian Shuhao quickly stopped her.
This made Lin Qiao even angrier. She first looked at Jian Shuhao, then at Su Wanwan, ¡°How dare you, you shameless wench. You¡¯re trying to seduce my boyfriend right in front of everyone! You¡¯ve got no shame! You¡¯re a vixen! Do you not get enough satisfaction from all those old men? You¡¯re nothing but a green tea bitch!¡±
Her words were too offensive, and Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help it, she pped Lin Qiao right across the face.
An ¡°Ah!¡± of surprise, apanied by the sound of a crisp p, echoed simultaneously.
The noisy scene went silent all at once.
Under the scrutiny of all eyes, Lin Qiao covered her face, her rage and shame red after the initial shock.
Being pped in public, how could she bear it?
Therefore, she bit her lips and with resentment, lifted her leg to kick Su Wanwan.
The scene immediately devolved into chaos.
Two female students were openly fighting, and while there were many spectators, nobody stopped them. It wasn¡¯t until a stern rebuke resounded, ¡°What are you doing!¡±
¡°A teacher is here!¡±
¡°It¡¯s Professor Su!¡±
¡°Professor Su is here¡¡±
Lin Qiao was pulled back by Jian Shuhao, and Su Wanwan took the opportunity to kick her leg again.
As a result, the rebuke became even more severe, ¡°Su Wanwan! You dare to kick again!¡±
Su Wanwan withdrew her leg and looked at the figure standing on the side ¨C Su Yunrong.
She was dressed in a dark suit, her hair was up, and she was wearing sses, the standard attire of a professor. She appeared stern and serious.
¡°This is a school, and you two are girls. You just finished raising the national g, and now you¡¯re fighting? In front of so many ssmates, are you not ashamed?¡±

Su Yunrong immediately turned to Su Wanwan, ¡°What¡¯s going on? School just started, and you¡¯re bullying ssmates?¡±
Bullying?
Su Wanwan looked at her, so angry sheughed, ¡°You don¡¯t even ask for rification and chose to believe her? This isn¡¯t how a teacher behaves, right? Aunt.¡±
The word ¡°aunt¡± not only changed Su Yunrong¡¯s expression, but also astonished everyone around them.
Professor Su is actually Su Wanwan¡¯s aunt?
What a coincidence¡.

Half an hourter, at the school¡¯s administration office.
¡°What exactly happened?¡± the Director of Studies asked with a serious look on his face.
It¡¯s Monday today, and all students must attend the g-raising ceremony. He had just gotten busy when he was summoned to handle a fight.
The main characters of the fight were two female students.
It¡¯s ridiculous!
¡°You are university students now, you¡¯re in your third year, you¡¯re twenty years old. Adults! And yet you¡¯re still fighting in school? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?¡± he added.
Lin Qiao immediately replied, ¡°Teacher, it was Su Wenwen who hit me.¡±
The Director of Studies didn¡¯t bother to argue, and directly said, ¡°Each of you will go home and write a self-reflection paper of no less than three thousand words for me! One hundred course credits will be deducted!¡±
Su Wenwen didn¡¯t speak, but Lin Qiao started yelling,¡±Why should I be punished? It was obviously Su Wenwen who hit me! She even tore my school uniform. I demandpensation!¡±
The Director of Studies frowned, ¡°It takes two to tango. Why would she hit you out of the blue?¡±
Lin Qiao said, ¡°She¡¯s shameless, seducing my boyfriend.¡±
¡°Your boyfriend?¡± Su Wenwen mocked, ¡°Are you sure he¡¯s not your ex-boyfriend?¡±
Lin Qiao¡¯s face turned white and then flushed, ¡°We are just having some issues right now. So you¡¯re taking advantage of that and trying to step in.¡±
Su Wenwen let out a coldugh, ¡°I told youst time, I am not interested in second-hand goods. Are you deaf? Or are you a fish with a seven-second memory?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± Lin Qiao turned to the Director of Studies, ¡°If I am to write a self-reflection paper and have my credits deducted, her punishment must be more severe because her mistake is more serious than mine.¡±
The Director of Studies¡¯ face darkened at this remark.
Su Yunrong who was standing aside finally spoke up, ¡°No matter what, it is wrong to fight in school! Today there was a club recruitment event, and all present were first-year freshmen. The impact was very negative.¡±
¡°Professor Su is Su Wenwen¡¯s aunt. Of course she would side with her niece!¡± Lin Qiao called out.
Su Yunrong¡¯s face turned ugly in an instant.
Finally, with a loud smack, the Director of Studies couldn¡¯t hold back and smacked the table, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you! If you are not convinced, I will call your parents.¡±
Upon hearing the threat of being called on by her parents, a look of fear finally shed across Lin Qiao¡¯s face.
She is not a local of Nancheng. She entered Nancheng University because of her literary talent. Her parents were very proud of her and would never rush to Nancheng from far away just because she fought¡
And she really couldn¡¯t afford to lose face like that.
¡°You too!¡± The Director of Studies turned to Su Wenwen, ¡°If you dare to cause trouble in school again, I will call your parents too!¡±
Su Wenwen:¡±¡¡±
**
After leaving the administration office, Su Yunrong stopped and said, ¡°Lin Qiao, you can go. Wenwen, you stay.¡±
Lin Qiao huffed and stalked off.
In the corridor, Su Wenwen stood there with a detached and aloof expression on her detailed face, ¡°Professor Su, do you need something from me?¡±
¡°What is your attitude?¡± Su Yunrong frowned, ¡°I¡¯m your aunt, is this how you talk to your elders?¡±
Su Wenwen looked at her, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with the way I speak. Aren¡¯t you Professor Su? Did I make a mistake calling you that? When there were other people around, weren¡¯t you righteously not showing favoritism? Now there are no outsiders, who are you putting on this act for?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Su Yunrong clenched her fists and told herself to stay calm and not stoop to a child¡¯s level.
After taking a deep breath, she finally said, ¡°Your grandfather will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow. He especially asked me toe to school and tell you to bring your husband and have a casual meal at home.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± she replied abruptly.
Surprised, Su Yunrong asked, ¡°Why not?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to,¡± was her response.
Su Yunrong sighed, ¡°If it¡¯s because of Yanyan, I already heard from Yuntang, they misunderstood you. And what¡¯s more, Yanyan is going to finalize her divorce from Yuyun today. She did wrong and she paid the price. But still, you are family, and shouldn¡¯t air our dirtyundry. Can¡¯t you be a little more understanding¡¡±
¡°Why should I be understanding?¡± Su Wenwen coldly interrupted her, ¡°When Su Yanyan lost her child, everyone thought I purposely pushed her. Why didn¡¯t anyone then say that I was family? Why didn¡¯t anyone trust me? Or stand on my side? Why should I suffer this injustice? Why do you feel free to doubt me every time something happens and frame me? Now that you know it was a misunderstanding and she¡¯s been driven out by the Xing Family, I¡¯m not supposed to be dissatisfied? Otherwise, I¡¯m deemed as being unreasonable? Ha, if you disliked me so much, why did you keep me in the Su family in the first ce? And since you did keep me, why didn¡¯t you ever treat me fairly like a true daughter of the Su family?¡±
Faced with Su Wenwen¡¯s sudden outburst, Su Yunrong was at a loss for words.
Feeling a wave of painful bitterness welling up inside her, Su Wenwen abruptly turned around.
She stood straight with her back turned, her voice just as cold and firm, ¡°Tell grandpa I will never go back to that home. Regardless of whether I¡¯m sessful in my future or not, or whether I live or die, I will never go back.¡±
Having said that, she quickly walked away.
**
Su family, second-floor bedroom.
Su Yanyan had been crying non-stop ever since she returned from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to go to South Korea, I want to stay in Nancheng. I have been epted into university already, why are you sending me to study in South Korea¡¡± Yanyan sobbed.
Jiang Yi let out a helpless sigh.
But with things having escted to this, what other choice did she have?

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Mom, please beg dad again for me, mom¡¡± Su Yanyan clung to her arm, crying incessantly.
All Jiang Yi could say was, ¡°The incident in the hospital the other day was caught by reporters on the scene. If it weren¡¯t for the Xing Family¡¯s efforts to smoothen things out, the news would have had a significant negative impact on both families. Especially given that your father is undergoing evaluation for a formal bureau position, all eyes in the Broadcasting Bureau are on him. If news about youes out at this time¡
¡°So for Dad to be bureau chief and for his career, did you unconditionally agree to Xing Family¡¯s demand? My divorce with Yun brother is not enough? Now to send me to South Korea?¡± Su Yanyan could not believe that her father, who had cared for her dearly since childhood, would treat her like this.
¡°Yanyan, this is the best decision we could negotiate. Plus, South Korea is close to home, and I can visit you each month. I could even live with you over there¡¡±
¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Su Yanyan sobbed loudly, ¡°I have never left home since I was little. I don¡¯t know Korean, and my English isn¡¯t good, I don¡¯t want to go, Mom, I really don¡¯t want to go¡.¡±
Her cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yi picked up the phone, ¡°Sis.¡±
After ending the call, she got up and said, ¡°I will have Aunt Yang packyour luggage in a while. I need to go downstairs now.¡±
Hearing this, Su Yanyan raised her foot and kicked all the suitcases on the side to the floor.
*

Downstairs in the living room.
Su Xueqin was reading a newspaper in his wheelchair.
¡°Dad.¡± Jiang Yi called out.
Su Xueqin didn¡¯t react.
Jiang Yi squeezed her hand and walked over to say, ¡°My sister just called me. She said your phone is unreachable. She found Wanwan at school and talked to her about having dinner together tomorrow, but Wanwan declined. She also said¡.¡±
¡°Bang.¡±
The newspaper was thrown on the floor, making quite a loud noise.
Jiang Yi was frightened into silence.
-What else did she say?¡± Su Xueqin¡¯s voice was cold and stern.
Jiang Yi quickly said, ¡°She also said, no matter how she lives in the future, she will never return to this home.¡±
Hearing this, Su Xueqin¡¯s old face tightened instantly. His hand gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, turning pale and then blue due to force.
Jiang Yi looked at the old man¡¯s expression and added, ¡°The Huo Family was present at the hospital that day. Although Wanwan got the marriage certificate a while ago, the Huo Family has nevere to our home, and then this incident happened¡¡±
Some things are better left unsaid.
Su Xueqin¡¯s lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes, behind his reading sses, were sharp and deep. No one knew what he was thinking.
*

The next day was Su Xueqin¡¯s birthday. It also happened to be Teachers¡¯ Day.
In the morning, just after two sses, Su Wanwan received a call from Mo
Weiyi.
They met at the entrance of the school cafeteria ten minutester.
The Little Princess was still dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with Rong
An trailing not far behind in ck.
-Why did youe to school today?¡± Su Wanwan was curious.
¡°Isn¡¯t there a Teacher¡¯s Day g this afternoon? I was bored at home, so I came
to watch.¡±
¡°The g doesn¡¯t start until 3 pm. Why are you here so early?
¡°I came to have lunch with you.¡± Mo Weiyi affectionately took her arm, ¡°I¡¯m getting tired of eating Jiang Aunt¡¯s food at home every day. The chopped pepper fish head in the small cafeteria upstairs is so delicious. I hurried over here. It just opens for business at eleven.¡±
¡°Are you serious?¡± Su Wanwanughed.
A princess who could get anything she wanted was actually craving a dish from the campus¡¯s little cafeteria?
¡°It tastes really good. Have you not tried it before, Wanwan? Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s on
me.¡±
Su Wanwan rarely had a chance to eat in the cafeteria. She would usually just queue up downstairs and bring food back to her dorm.
But today, entering the upstairs cafeteria, she found a different world. The small cafeteria was decorated in an ancient style. It was clean and tidy, with waitstaff, almost like a restaurant outside.
The main offering was Hunan cuisine. Stepping in, a strong smell of chili hit their noses, a smell that never failed to provoke the appetite.
As soon as Mo Weiyi sat down, she started ordering enthusiastically, ¡°I want chopped pepper fish head, dry pot frog, boiled pork slices, sticky rice ribs, organic cauliflower, blueberry yam¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s enough, stop.¡± Su Wanwan quickly stopped her.
Indeed a tycoon, even for a mere lunch, she had to splurge money as if eating avish feast.
¡°And a jug of freshly squeezed papaya juice,¡± Mo Weiyi added.
¡°Can we not have papaya juice today?¡± Su Wanwan made a face, ¡°I haven¡¯t finished the ones you sentst time.¡±
¡°Then honey passion fruit juice, if not for breast enhancement, let¡¯s nourish our skin, brighten and whiten it. Women should treat themselves better!¡±¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Soon, the first dish of blueberry yam was served. Su Wanwan had just taken a bite when her phone suddenly rang.
¡ö¡öWanwan,¡± Mrs. Huo¡¯s voice came through the receiver, ¡°I will be at the school gate soon. Get ready and rush over to apany us to the hospital.¡± Su Wanwan was taken aback, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Grandma? Who¡¯s sick?¡± ¡°It¡¯s your grandfather. His heart disease suddenly red up, and he¡¯s being treated at the hospital.¡±
Su Wanwan hung up the phone and quickly stood up, Weiyi, I can t eat with you.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°I have an emergency and need to go to the hospital.¡¯
-Who¡¯s sick? I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Mo Weiyi put down her chopsticks as she spoke. ¡°NO need, you injured your foot so it¡¯s not convenient. My grandmother and the others havee to pick me up.¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t have time to exin, ¡°I must go now, I may not be able to apany you for the g this afternoon..¡±

¡°It¡¯s alright, you go ahead, don¡¯t forget to call meter.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan rushed out quickly. Yet, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
Eating alone at home and now also eating alone at school!
How boring!
As the dishes were served one after another, Mo Weiyi decisively picked up her cell phone.
The call was quickly answered, and a stiff voice said, ¡°Princess.¡±
¡°Rong An,e up and eat with me.¡±
¡°Princess, I¡¯m not hungry.¡±
¡°But I don¡¯t want to eat alone,e here and eat with me.¡±
¡°Princess, I¡¯m not hungry.¡±
¡°Get over here now! If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll get angry!¡±
¡°Alright, princess.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
How irritating.
She had to say it three times before he agreed.
All men are like pigs, always dishonest with their feelings!
¡°Mo Weiyi, you came to ss?¡± Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded.
Mo Weiyi raised her head, looking at the few girls who came in from outside.
They were all third-yearw students. The one speaking was Li Feifei, a ssmate and roommate.
A local from Nancheng, quite simple and in in her first year. However, in her second year, her family¡¯s house was demolished, and they received a lump sum of money, making them nouveaux riches overnight. Her style changed dramatically after that.
She began to show off her wealth, quite vain, and liked to brag about any good thing she acquired.
Mo Weiyi looked at Feifei¡¯s outfit. ¡°Are you participating in a program?¡±
Not just her, everyone was wearing a white shirt with a red-checkered pleated skirt. They looked like they were in uniform for a performance.
¡°Yes, ourw department has a dance program. You¡¯ve been injured, so you haven¡¯t been able toe to sses. We considered asking you to be the lead dancer,¡± Li Feifei ttered.
Mo Weiyiughed, ¡°Me, the lead dancer?¡±
¡°Right, you can dance traditional folk dances, right? I remember in our freshmen year, during the military training performance, you danced a solo to ¡®Farewell to the Red Army¡¯, and you won first ce,¡± Li Feifei admired earnestly.
Mo Weiyi had seen a lot of such ttery. Right now, she gave a nd response, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll watch you guys.¡±
Then, she casually flicked her curled hair.
What¡¯s going on? Why is Rong An so slow?
¡°That¡¯s great, let¡¯s go to the auditorium together after we finish eating,¡± Li Feifei invited warmly. After finishing, she also adjusted her curled hair.
As anticipated, Mo Weiyi¡¯s expression was a bit stunned.
¡°These earrings are quite pretty,¡± she then added.
A proud smile shed in Li Feifei¡¯s eyes quickly.
She swept all of her hair behind her ears, revealing the beautiful red earrings, and said deliberately, ¡°These earrings were a gift from my boyfriend.¡±
The girls around her immediately began to make a fuss:
¡°Wow, we were all envious earlier!¡±
¡°Feifei¡¯s boyfriend is too good to her, always giving her all kinds of things.¡±
¡°Last time he even gave her a Gi dress!¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah!¡±
Envious and admiringments from the crowd made Li Feifei feeling very proud, but she acted aloof on the surface.
Just now, she saw Mo Weiyiing to the canteen for dinner. She guessed that Mo Weiyi woulde to the small canteen, so she specifically suggested to her dance partners that they should eat upstairs. Her guess proved to be correct.
All along, Mo Weiyi had been recognized as the campus beauty by the whole school. In thew department, she was a goddess unreachable for both male and female students.
She came from a distinguished family, was beautiful, had a good sense of fashion, and even got a handsome husband.
Even unassuming skirts, bags or small essories would be photographed by interested parties and posted on the school forum. Then everyone wouldment on and enjoy them. Some even went to buy the same or high imitation ones.
But now, she was the one everyone was focusing on, and in front of Mo Weiyi!
What a great feeling this is.
Mo Weiyi seemed actually interested in the earrings. She asked, ¡°What does your boyfriend do?¡±
Li Feifei smiled, ¡°He works at a foreignpany.¡±
This prompted a wave of praises:
¡°So your boyfriend is a white-cor elite!¡±
¡°No wonder he¡¯s so rich!¡±
¡°He¡¯s really good to you!¡±
¡°These earrings must be very expensive! How much are they?¡±
¡°How should I know?¡± said Li Feifei with a shy smile, ¡°I just wore them because
I liked how they looked, and they go well with today¡¯s dance costume.¡±
¡°If I remember correctly,¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°These earrings are from Shinore¡¯s ssic limited edition series. They were priced at 100,000 RMB two years ago and must have appreciated several times by now. The minimum price must be over 200,000.¡±
This remark caused a wave of gasps:
¡°Oh my God, is it really that expensive?¡±
¡°Feifei, your boyfriend is quite generous!¡±
¡°Your boyfriend really loves you!¡±
¡°Feifei, you¡¯re so lucky!¡±
Even for Li Feifei, this statement left her with some difficulty maintaining herposure.
Oh.
The earrings are that expensive?
**
Meanwhile.
When Su Wanwan and Mrs. Huo arrived at the hospital, Su Xueqin had already been sent back to his room.
In the corridor, the Su family was huddled together, sobbing and weeping.
¡°Mrs. Huo,¡± Jiang Yi quickly went up and met her.
Su Wanwan gave everyone a cold look before asking, ¡°Why did Grandpa suddenly have a heart attack?¡±
Jiang Yi exined softly, ¡°It¡¯s Dad¡¯s birthday today, he had a sudden heart attack during dinner, so we quickly brought him to the hospital. Luckily, he was saved in time, there¡¯s no big danger. The doctor said that as long as he rests well for a while, he¡¯ll be discharged..¡±

¡°Amitabha, it¡¯s good that she¡¯s fine.¡± Old Lady Huo patted Su Wanwan¡¯s hand, consoling, ¡°Ashen will be here soon, Wanwan, don¡¯t worry too much.¡±
In the corner, hearing these words, Qiao Zixin¡¯s heart gave an excited jump.
She hadn¡¯t seen Huo Jingshen for a long time.
Originally she thought since it was Su Xueqin¡¯s birthday today, the Huo family members woulde together to celebrate, but due to the issue with Su Yanyan, not only did Huo Jingshen note, even Su Wanwan did not go home.
All the effort she put into her outfit was wasted.
Then unexpectedly at the dinner table, Su Xueqin felt a heartache after a little bit of wine, and was taken to the hospital. Jiang Yi then called the Huo family.
And sure enough, the Huo family immediately rushed over.
She felt like she was riding a roller coaster, with her heart constantly fluctuating between joy and worry.
Thinking of seeing Huo Jingshenter, she was even more excited.
She had to refresh her makeup.
Eyeing everyone, she quickly turned around and headed for the restroom.
After a while, the door of the sickroom opened, and Nangong Ci stepped out with several medical staff.
Wearing a white coat, with a stethoscope hanging on the chest, he looked perfectly professional, with a serious expression.
¡°Director, when can my father wake up?¡± Jiang Yi quickly stepped forward to ask.
¡°You realize the urgency now? Where were you earlier? Can¡¯t you, as his children, be a little considerate? Your father is old and had just undergone bypass surgery a few months ago. His recovery ability is already poor, yet you have been upsetting him. It is simply intolerable!¡±
Jiang Yi exined, ¡°Today is our father¡¯s birthday, he just had a little wine at noon¡¡±
¡°Drinking whilst not fully recovered from a heart condition? Why didn¡¯t you dissuade him?¡± Nangong Ci angrily rebuked.
Su Yunrong nced at Su Wanwan with clear implications, then asked, ¡°When exactly can our father wake up?¡±
¡°Why the rush!¡± Nangong Ci had no intention of saving face.
Suppressing his anger, Su Yunrong said, ¡°I have urgent business at two o¡¯clock. There¡¯s an important meeting at the bureau¡¡±
¡°Is the meeting more important, or is your father¡¯s health more important?¡± Nangong Ci scolded again.
Su Yunrong looks very unhappy.
This deputy director was only in his twenties, almost twenty years younger than him. Just a brash young man, yet he dared to publicly reprimand him. ¡°What exactly is the situation inside?¡± Old Lady Huo¡¯s voice finally rang out impatiently.
Having listened this far, she only saw this young man scolding others.
Turning around, Nangong Ci¡¯s expression did aplete one-eighty, he reportalmost cheerfully: ¡°Old Lady Huo, Little sister-inw, don¡¯t worry, Grandpa Su¡¯s condition has stabilized. After the medication takes effect, he should wake up.¡±
Then, heughed and asked, ¡°When can my big brothere?¡±
Old Lady Huo replied, ¡°He said he was finishing up the meeting when he was on the way, he should be here soon.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Nangong Ci nodded, and looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Little sister-inw, how¡¯s your arm? Still hurting?¡±
Caught off guard, Su Wanwan quickly reassured, ¡°It¡¯s alright now.¡±
As expected, Old Lady Huo looked at her curiously, ¡°Wanwan, what happened to your arm?¡±
¡°Old Lady Huo, you probably don¡¯t know yet.¡± Nangong Ci immediately began to narrate, adding fuel to the fire, and fundamentally reigniting the hospital situation that day.
Due to his narration, Su Yunrong and Jiang Yi again felt embarrassed, their faces burning hot.
Su Yunrong and Qiao Jianye also felt somewhat uneasy.
Having heard the whole story, Old Lady Huo¡¯s expressionpletely changed.
However, with Su Xueqin still lying unconscious inside, she could not publicly chastise them. She could only sigh, ¡°In this matter, Wanwan was wronged.¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± Nangong Ci followed with a sigh, ¡°If it were not for my alertness, having people conduct an investigation first, and then calling my big brother, this false murder usation would have really been ced on little sister-inw! Not only that, but she would have been falsely charged, and the damage isn¡¯t just limited to her arm. Tsk, tsk, tsk, women¡¯s heart¡¯s are truly poisonous!¡±
After finishing, his eyes kept ncing at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi could only apologize in a low voice, ¡°In this matter, we really wronged Wanwan, it¡¯s all my fault. I didn¡¯t discipline my daughter well, I was momentarily blind¡ Yanyan has now divorced Yuyun, and she will go to South Korea to study tomorrow. She also knows that she was in the wrong. In the future¡¡±
¡°Since there is nothing serious, I¡¯ll head off to ss now.¡± Su Wanwan impatiently interrupted her.
Knowing the truth of the matter, Old Lady Huo did not insist any further, and directly picked up her phone, ¡°I¡¯ll call Ashen and tell him not toe.¡±
Sudden ringing from a phone came from behind.
At the same time, the deep voice of Huo Jingshen came over, ¡°I¡¯m already here.¡±
In the corridor, a tall and imposing man was holding a phone, shutting off the ringtone.
Nangong Ci looked over and squinted, ¡°Oh wow, big brother, your phone case is quite unique.¡±
Phone case?
Su Wanwan took a closer look.
Embarrassing.
Huo Jingshen was dressed in a suit and shiny leather shoes,pletely donned in a meticulous and mature elite look, yet in his hand¡ was a phone with a ck Mickey Mouse phone case.
It was really quite discordant!
Old Lady Huo was also taken aback.
This oldest grandson of hers, who had always been mature, steady and introverted, was well-known for being meticulous and particr due to being a Virgo. He always paid great attention to the taste of life. When did he start to like these yful things?
Huo Jingshen quirked an eyebrow at that, lifting his phone to take a look with utmost calmness. Then he calmly replied, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s a new couple matching phone case that my wife just bought. Would not let me not use it..¡±

SuWanwan:
What a jerk!
When did I insist that he has to wear it!
And it¡¯s non-negotiable?
It was his own decision to wear it in the first ce!
Down the hallway, Qiao Zixin happened to hustle over just in time to witness this scene.
A twitch formed at the corner of Nangong Ci¡¯s mouth.
Damn it!
What a jerk!
Ever since they got married, his big brother was getting more and more frivolous. Before, he was just introverted, at least he hid some of it, but now¡ he¡¯s simply too obnoxious!
Old Madam Huo chuckled heartily and waved her hands, ¡°Okay, okay, stop making us all envious. Your father-inw is okay, but it will take some time for him to wake up.¡±
SuWanwan: ¡°=,=!¡±
Even the olddy knows about unting your love life?
Huo Jingshen nodded and then looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Baby, have you had lunch yet?¡±
At this statement, even Nangong Ci¡¯s eyes began to twitch.
Baby?
Damn it!
¡°Big brother! Can you consider the feelings of us single people?¡±
Su Wanwan cleared her throat.
Huo Jingshen shot him a nce, ¡°Apart from you, who else here is single?¡±
¡°Big brother, how can you insult people!¡± Nangong Ci protested, and then pointed casually, ¡°Miss Qiao is also single.¡±
Qiao Zixin, who was inexplicably singled out, stiffened her face and almost exposed her jealousy¡
Huo Jingshen said indifferently, ¡°Do you think everyone is like you, unable to find someone?¡±
Nangong Ci was furious: ¡°Who said I can¡¯t find anyone? The nurses in the hospital are lining up for me to choose, I just don¡¯t fancy any of them.¡±
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen ¡°hehe¡±ughed and proceeded, ¡°I¡¯m going to take my baby to lunch. Excuse us.¡±
With that, he took Su Wanwan¡¯s hand and turned to leave.
The man handsome, the woman beautiful, holding hands, tsk tsk tsk, cherished in the eyes of Old Madam Huo.
A few days ago, she was worried that the young couple was having troubles, but now it seemed that they were very loving!
It seems that she would have a great-grandchild soon!
After the two entered the elevator, Qiao Zixin quickly turned around and re-entered the women¡¯s bathroom.
In the cubicle, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
¡°Bingbing, it¡¯s me. I¡¯ve considered what you told mest time, I will resign in the next few days and report to you.¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t had any experience in this field before, so when the timees, you have to help me.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zixin slowly let out a breath.
Jealousy was growing wildly in her heart like a weed, contorting her expression.
**
Huo Jingshen drove to a restaurant called ¡°Xiaoye Yuan.¡±
It seemed to be newly opened; there were still flower baskets at the entrance. Inside, there were various nts and flowers, a small bridge running water, bamboo chairs, and even some ancient farming tools line along the corridor.
¡°It¡¯s a theme restaurant owned by a friend. Let¡¯s give it a try,¡± said Huo Jingshen.
Su Wanwan nodded, and while looking around, she asked, ¡°Is this restaurant going out of business?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow yfully, ¡°Why would you say that?¡±
¡°There are no customers here, and it¡¯s decorated veryvishly. Is your friend very rich, and likes to act cultured?¡±
¡°He is quite rich,¡± Huo Jingshen said, ¡°he also has a PhD in ancient literature.¡±
¡°No wonder.¡± An image of a doctorate man instantly popped into Su Wanwan¡¯s mind.
A middle-aged man, bald, likes to wear long robes, swings his folding fan, wears those retro round sses, and speaks like ¡°Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain.¡±
The waiter led them to their private room.
The restaurant was vast, with a winding main hall. Inside, it was even more unique. Finally, they stopped at the door of a private room called ¡°Yanshui Pavilion.¡±
After they sat down, Huo Jingshen had just ordered a few dishes when there was a stirring of voices in the corridor.
¡°Good day, boss.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly nced at the door, then saw Chu Xiuhuang walk in.
Dressed casually, hands in his pockets, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, his eyebrows raised, he had a badass air about him.
Uh.
Su Wanwan was taken aback. How¡ was he the legendary boss?
¡°Yo, why didn¡¯t you tell me you wereing for lunch?¡± After saying this, Chu Xiuhuang looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Little sister-inw, you were unsupportivest time, not even helping your own family in front of outsiders.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at him, ¡°Family?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong, big brother?¡± Chu Xiuhuang removed the cigarette from his thin lips, and exhaled a smoke ringzily, his phoenix eyes teasing and wicked, ¡°Isn¡¯t your wife also my family?¡±
With that, he took a seat.
The next second.
¡°Big brother, when did you start using phone cases? Tsk tsk, what a stupid pattern. So crude, no taste¡¡±
Su Wanwan darkened her face.
Stupid?
Crude?
No taste?
Huo Jingshen was about to speak when ¡°thud.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang also got a shock.
Su Wanwan took out her little phone and mmed it on the table arrogantly.
She didn¡¯t speak, just gave him a sidelong nce.
¡°Pff!¡± Chu Xiuhuang burst outughing, ¡°Holy shit, it¡¯s a couple phone case! Absurd!¡±
Huo Jingshen gave him a cold look, ¡°Looks like you¡¯re asking for a beating.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang coughed a few times. Just then, his phone rang. He immediately stood up, ¡°Well, you guys eat, I¡¯m busy.¡±
With that, he turned and slipped away..

¡°Sweetie, don¡¯t stoop to his level,¡± Huo Jingshenforted his miffed wife, ¡°he¡¯scking in love, and therefore he¡¯s envious.¡±
¡°Howe I haven¡¯t noticed himcking love?¡± Su Wanwan hummed twice, picked up the cup in front of her, and took a sip, ¡°Every time I see him, it¡¯s with a different girlfriend, all of whom are quite beautiful¡¡±
¡°So many girlfriends, yet he can¡¯t keep any of them. He either has issues with his thoughts or his body has hidden problems.¡±
¡°Puff!¡±
Su Wanwan directly spat out the sip of tea.
Huo Jingshen patted her back and then said, ¡°In the future, just avoid him when you see him.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Dishonest intentions, and hecks virtue,¡± Huo Jingshen said with a straight face.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Her husband indeed had a sharp tongue!
**
At this moment, someone had no idea he was being ndered.
He picked up a call in the hallway. ¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, have you arrived at the Xiaoye garden yet? Miss Huang has called me more than a dozen times, she¡¯s been waiting for you at the Yuyun Pavilion for over an hour¡¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah, stop rushing me.¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted impatiently and began to walk towards the inner pavilion.¡±
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± The woman¡¯s voice was heard again, ¡°Miss Huang is the granddaughter of your grandfather¡¯s old friend. She has just returned from studying in Japan, majoring in screeny writing, and has published works in numerous foreign magazines and newspapers. She has also participated in the script of several award-winning films¡¡±
¡°Alright, alright.¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted impatiently again, ¡°Why are you so long-winded, can¡¯t you mind your business and stop interrupting my date?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± The woman¡¯s voice once again maintains its formal and solemn tone, ¡°I just want to tell you that Miss Huang is different from your ex-girlfriends. The old master really hopes that you can have a sessful blind date with her, he asked me to tell you¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
¡°Alright, Mr. Chu, I hope you have a pleasant date, goodbye.¡± With that, the woman hung up the phone abruptly.
Chu Xiuhuang stopped in his tracks.
This secretary¡
She was bing bolder by the minute!
Challenging him from time to time, and now she dared to hang up on him?
Needs punishment!
A few minutester, Chu Xiuhuang pushed open the door to the ¡°Yuyun Pavilion¡±.
¡°Hello!¡± The woman inside immediately stood up, ¡°You must be Chu, right? I am Huang Shijia.¡±
Unlike Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s casual attire, she was dressed elegantly and decked out meticulously, apparently having prepared meticulously for this date.
Chu Xiuhuang walked in and pulled out a chair to sit, propped up his legs suavely, with a cigarette butt in his mouth.
He raised a brow, his phoenix eyes examined her from head to toe.
His gaze was direct, crude, and full of disdain, making him seem frivolous.
But because the man was quite good-looking, the woman¡¯s face gradually flushed and she became bashful.
Finally, Chu Xiuhuang began, ¡°Pretty cute girl, haven¡¯t had stic surgery, have you?¡±
Huang Shijia stammered,¡±¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Your chest is also quite big; it¡¯s not fake, is it?¡±
Huang Shijia was dumbfounded again, ¡°¡What?¡±
¡°Alright,e to Room 7 on the roof of the mansion tonight. I prefer not to use condoms, remember to prepare your own contraceptives.¡± As he finished speaking, Chu Xiuhuang put out his cigarette, got up and left.
Just as he was leaving,
¡°Mr. Chu, please wait.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang clucked his tongue and halted.
These gorgeous floozies indeed had no patience at all.
He turned around impatiently, only to have a cup of tea thrown in his face.
**
After lunch, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan back to school.
Seeing the ck phone on the dashboard, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Or, you could stop using this phone case?¡±
Earlier, her two friends had already made fun of it. If he went to thepany and his subordinates or bosses from otherpanies saw it¡
¡°Or maybe you could change to a different pattern?¡± Su Wanwan suggested again, ¡°The current pattern was something I bought because it was cheap. It is indeed a bit childish and may damage your image.¡±
Huo Jingshen gave her a nce, his eyebrows raised slightly, ¡°It¡¯s a gift from my baby, who dare to have an opinion?¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t speak, but couldn¡¯t help but curl the corners of her mouth.
The solemn delivery of words of love was truly something.
Upon arriving at the school gate, Huo Jingshen suddenly said, ¡°Tonight, I¡¯ll pick you up, and we¡¯ll have dinner in the mansion.¡±
Su Wanwan was surprised, ¡°Tonight?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Huo Jingshen stopped the car and said mysteriously, ¡°And bring Ziyang to meet his grandparents.¡±
I see.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t give it much thought. After all, the kid had already been in Nancheng for half a month. It was indeed time for him to meet the elders.
After getting off the car, she checked the time.
It was past two. There was still time to attend the three o¡¯clockte banquet.
Immediately, she dialed Mo Weiyi¡¯s number, only to find out that she had already gone home.
¡°Weren¡¯t you going to the party?¡± Su Wanwan asked.
¡°Not anymore, I¡¯m pissed off.¡±
¡°What happened? Who upset you?¡±
¡°Nothing, gotta hang up now, I¡¯ll tell you all about it tomorrow at school.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
**
In the car, Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, squeezed her brows and clenched her hands.
She could not help urging, ¡°Rong An, when will the information you had someone check be ready?¡±
Rong An calmly drove the car, ¡°Princess, be patient.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Looking frustrated, she looked out the window and noticed that the car had already arrived at Lishui Bay. The area outside the residential area was quite lively, and there were several kids ying football.
Suddenly.
¡°Rong An, stop the car, stop!¡±
The ck Audi came to a sudden halt by the side of the road..
Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop
Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop
Trantor: 549690339 I
Mo Weiyi pushed open the back door of the car, leaning on her small crutch, she got out of the car with a limp and headed towards the flower shop.
¡°Miss, would you like to buy flowers? We just received a fresh shipment of champagne roses today¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not here to buy flowers, I¡¯m here for you.¡± Mo Weiyi stood there, tall and elegant, her skirt swaying gently as she moved. Her long auburn curls fell upon her shoulders, her graceful beauty was truly breathtaking.
The store owner, a middle-aged woman in her forties, was taken aback. ¡°You¡¯re looking for me?¡±
Mo Weiyi nodded, then pointed her tiny hand at a child ying. ¡°That boy in a red coat, who is he to you?¡±
The store owner looked in the direction she pointed, then responded, ¡°He¡¯s my nephew. Why?¡±
¡°Were you the one who had him deceive me a few days ago?¡±
The owner turned pale and denied it, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±
¡°So, you still won¡¯t admit it? That afternoon, around five or six o¡¯clock, you had him pretend to be a child selling flowers and imed that he would be scolded by his mother if he didn¡¯t sell all the flowers before it started to rain. He gave me a bouquet of wilted flowers with insects hiding within the petals. The bouquet was thrown away by my maid the next day. I gave him a hundred yuan back then¡¡±
¡°Miss, are you here to cause trouble?¡± The owner quickly interjected.
She looked Mo Weiyi up and down. She was dressed very exquisitely, and she was very beautiful, save for the crutch she relied upon.
¡°So, instigating a child to scam people and yet you refuse to admit it now?¡±
¡°Do you have any proof?¡± The owner pulled her sleeves up in a defiant manner. ¡°I¡¯ve been operating this shop for several months and all the locals know me well. Are you making a fuss because you¡¯re jealous of my sessful business?¡±
¡°So, you¡¯ve only been open for a few months. That exins why you don¡¯t know me and thought of me as a pushover.¡±
Mo Weiyi never went shopping by herself, and the store owner didn¡¯t know her, nor remembered any such incident.
Resolute in her denial, she argued, ¡°Without evidence, you are just framing me!¡±
She then called out to the boy, ¡°Xiaojun, Xiaojun,e over here.¡±
The boy named Xiaojun quickly ran over.
The store owner bent down, cast a warning nce at the boy, and asked, ¡°Xiaojun, do you know this woman? Have you sold flowers to her?¡±
Woman?
At the sound of this address, Mo Weiyi¡¯s pretty face went pale.
Did she look like an olddy to their eyes?
The boy nced at Mo Weiyi and then at the store owner, before shaking his head, timidly replying, ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡±
The shop owner instantly looked triumphantly at Mo Weiyi, ¡°Did you hear that? Xiaojun says he doesn¡¯t know you and has never sold you flowers.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s hand trembled in anger, ¡°Do you think I didn¡¯t see you signaling him? He¡¯s just a child and yet you¡¯re distorting the truth, teaching him to lie. What kind of elder are you?¡±
¡°I think you¡¯re the one trying to nder us! Despite being so attractive, you¡¯re disabled. Seems like God is fair after all. You¡¯re an adult bullying an eight-year-old boy. Aren¡¯t you ashamed? You¡¯re acting exactly like a wicked woman flowing with harmful intentions!¡±
Upon seeing her rampant and triumphant look, Mo Weiyi yelled, ¡°Rong An,e here!¡±
Rong An, who had been watching from afar, promptly walked over.
He was a tall, well-built man in a ck suit, his expression stern and unyielding.
The store owner grew anxious, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±
¡°Teaching a child to lie and scam people, then refusing to own up. This is clearly a shady business. Rong An, destroy this flower shop for me!¡±
At Mo Weiyi¡¯smand, Rong An walked over, picked up a pot of flowers, and without blinking dropped it to the ground.
¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m being bullied, call the police! I need to call the police!¡±
Immediately, the area turned into chaos.
**
An hourter, Mo Weiyi stormed into the vi, fuming.
Rong An followed behind her, his face expressionless.
In the living room, Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa, pouting and ring at him, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you hit that woman?¡±
¡°Princess, you only ordered me to wreck the shop, not to hit anyone.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Then she said, ¡°Can¡¯t you be a bit more flexible? I can¡¯t believe she had the audacity to call me a cripple. I¡¯m so angry!¡±
¡°Princess, the damage cost us two hundred thousand.¡±
¡°So what about two hundred thousand? This is what she gets for insulting me! Even if it cost me ten million, I¡¯d still make sure her business was destroyed! And also, get some of your guys to cause a ruckus outside her shop every day, I want to make sure her business fails!¡±
Rong An:¡±¡¡±
Luckily, his phone rang. ¡°Princess, I have to take this call.¡±
Mo Weiyi sat on the couch, still fuming.
¡°Princess, you¡¯re back.¡± Aunt Jiang hurried down from upstairs, she took a bag out of the entrance cab. ¡°Princess, this was delivered yesterday.¡±
Mo Weiyi nced at the servant.
Ever since the incident with the earrings, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to trust anyone fully.
¡°Princess?¡±
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and finally epted the bag, ¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Seems like a watch.¡±
Mo Weiyi casually opened the bag and took out the box.
Upon seeing the content, she was taken aback.
It was the men¡¯s wristwatch that she had admired in the boutique that day.
She remembered it costing well over a million yuan.
¡°Who sent it?¡±
¡°A clerk from the store delivered it.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
She immediately put the wristwatch back in the bag and grabbed her phone.
Just as she was about to make a call, she suddenly hesitated..
Chapter 199:199, nauseous!
Chapter 199:199, nauseous!
Trantor: 549690339
This Chu Xiuhuang clearly sent the watch over intentionally. There¡¯s no point in calling him, he might even toy with me.
He¡¯s so good at sweet-talking, and I¡¯d never beat him at that.
What the hell, is it because I left him at the altar?
Does he have to dwell on it like this, pursuing me relentlessly, clingy to the point of annoyance?
What should I do?
At this moment, Rong An walked in from outside, ¡°Princess, the information has been sent to your phone.¡±
Mo Weiyi picked up her phone and opened WeChat.
Then, she raised her head, ¡°Aunt Jiang, how long have you been working here?¡±
Aunt Jiang looked at Mo Weiyi, and although she found the question a little strange, she still answered, ¡°For two years now.¡±
¡°And how have I treated you during these two years?¡± Mo Weiyi asked again.
Aunt Jiang hurriedly said, ¡°The princess has been very kind to me.¡±
¡°And Aunt Jiang, what do you think of me as a person?¡±
Seeing her emotionless expression, Aunt Jiang began to feel a little uneasy.
But as she didn¡¯t really know what was going on, she braced herself and continued to answer, ¡°You¡¯re a very good person, princess. You¡¯re especially kind to us, your subordinates.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Mo Weiyi looked at her, her pretty face cold and bleak.
She truly trusted Aunt Jiang.
This mansion wasrge, and aside from the driver, Old Liu, several maids alsoe to work during the day.
But Aunt Jiang was the only one she had personally recruited.
She remembered when she first moved into the mansion after her wedding, Aunt Jiang was responsible for cooking for the construction workers. She was efficient and concise, and the food was decent, so she asked if Aunt Jiang wanted to stay and continue working here.
Over the two years, Mo Weiyi believed she had been fair with her pay.
Knowing Aunt Jiang¡¯s financial circumstances weren¡¯t good, the wages she provided were several thousand more than the market rate.
Whenever there was anything to eat, use, or wear¡ she would always share with Aunt Jiang, or directly give it to her.
Whenever it was a holiday or festival, and Aunt Jiang requested time off, Mo Weiyi would always readily agree.
But now, she found that all her trust had been misced.
The feeling was like biting into an apple that seemed perfect and tasted sweet, only to find a worm in the remaining half¡
She felt sick to her stomach!
Mo Weiyi pinched her fingers, then said, ¡°I understand now. You can go off work first.¡±
Aunt Jiang was surprised.
But the little princess was always childlike in her temper, short-lived and unpredictable.
So, she nodded, ¡°Princess, I¡¯ll leave for home now.¡±
Mo Weiyi said nothing.
As Aunt Jiang packed up and left, the living room remained quiet.
After a long while, Mo Weiyi finally spoke up, ¡°Rong An, are you really sure that Aunt Jiang took my earrings?¡±
Rong An answered stiffly, ¡°Princess, you¡¯ve already seen the evidence.¡±
¡°But she can deny it.¡±
The file indicated that Li Feifei¡¯s boyfriend, Guo Xingyu, was Aunt Jiang¡¯s son. He had just graduated from college and was working as a junior employee at a foreignpany in Nancheng, earning just over 10,000 a month. He certainly couldn¡¯t afford to buy those earrings worth 200,000, and Aunt Jiang just happened to be working here.
¡°Just like the flower shop owner just now. She denied that the kid scammed me, and even the security guard didn¡¯t back me up. I ended up having to pay for it!¡±
Although she had vented her anger by smashing up her shop and didn¡¯t mind the 200,000pensation as it was chump change to her, but¡
It still annoyed her.
Every time she thought of the shop owner¡¯s hateful face, she couldn¡¯t help but get angry!
¡°Princess.¡± Rong An proposed stiffly, ¡°I can search Aunt Jiang¡¯s house. If she stole other things, there must be some she hasn¡¯t sold off yet hidden at home.¡± ¡°What if she only stole that pair of earrings?¡±
¡°Then break her arm, or leg. If she still refuses to admit it, send her and her son to the police station¡¡±
¡°Forget it.¡± Mo Weiyi said, rubbing her temples, ¡°Help me summon a courier first. I need to send out this watch.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Rong An took out his phone, prepared to leave¡
¡°Wait.¡± Mo Weiyi stopped him, ¡°Don¡¯t tell Xiaobai about this yet.¡±
Rong An looked at her.
¡°I¡¯ll handle it.¡±
Rong An: ¡°¡Okay.¡±
**
That night.
In the militarypound, the Huo Family residence.
Old Madam Huo, humming a little tune, walked out from the kitchen.
¡°Old man, stop reading. Ashen and Wanwan will be home soon, and the kid ising too. Have you prepared the red envelopes I asked you to prepare?¡±
Old Mr Huo frowned impatiently, ¡°It¡¯s not even your child, what are you bustling around for all day?¡±
¡°That¡¯s where you don¡¯t understand. If we¡¯re good to the kid, when Wanwan sees it, she¡¯ll think we really like kids. Then she won¡¯t worry about her own child being uncared for and maybe I¡¯ll get to hold my great-grandchild soon¡¡±
Old Mr Huo¡¯s face darkened at hearing this.
What kind of bizarre logic was this woman following?
It was all twists and turns. Given the IQ.of his daughter-inw, it¡¯ll be a miracle if she understood!
¡°Old Huo, you¡¯re all home, huh?¡± A booming voice suddenly came from the door.
Old Madam Huo turned around, ¡°Old Chu, what brings you here?¡±
Old Mr Chuughed heartily, walked up and casually flipped his left wrist, ¡°Oh nothing, my grandson Ahuang just had someone send me a watch. I want you guys to take a look, how much do you think this watch is worth?¡±
As soon as he heard this bragging, Old Mr Huo¡¯s face darkened even more..
Chapter 200: 200, deal!
Chapter 200: deal!
Trantor: 549690339 I
Old Lady Huo looked down, ¡°My, this is a luxury watch isn¡¯t it? It has to be worth more than a million.¡±
¡°More than a million? Isn¡¯t it too expensive?¡± Old Lord Chu chuckled with satisfaction, then continued to grumble, ¡°This stinking boy. He knows my birthday ising up, so he gets in early with a gift. At least he¡¯s somewhat dutiful.¡±
Old Lord Huo humphed twice, picked up his newspaper indifferently, and resumed reading.
¡°Old Madam, should we use the crucian carps to make a soup or braise them?¡± a servant¡¯s voice asked from the kitchen.
Old Madam Huo quickly replied, ¡°Make soup out of them.¡±
¡°Are we expecting guests?¡± Old Lord Chu inquired.
¡°No, Ashen is bringing his wife over for dinner.¡±
¡°Your boy, Ashen, already found a wife?¡± Old Lord Chu eximed, both surprised and envious, ¡°In that case, I must give her a good look. I haven¡¯t even met her yet.¡±
¡°She¡¯ll be here soon. My granddaughter-inw is absolutely stunning!¡±
**
The beautiful granddaughter-inw was currently shivering in the passenger seat.
Huo Jingshen hade to pick her up from school, but he had brought not only Fu Ziyang with him but also KO.
Even though KO was sitting in the back seat with Fu Ziyang, Su Wanwan was still terrified and held her guard up, prepared for the worst if KO decided to pounce on her like he had done before at the airport.
¡°KO doesn¡¯t bite. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Huo Jingshen put one hand on her head tofort her before starting to drive.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t respond.
Actually, she didn¡¯t even dare to make a sound.
Fu Ziyang knew that his little Auntie was scared of dogs, so he tried to hold KO in ce, but still¡
Maybe KO hadn¡¯t been brought out for a while. Just a few minutes into the drive, they passed by arge billboard in downtown with a sultry model featured on it.
Seeing the model, KO¡¯s eyes gleamed and he opened his mouth to let out an excited howl, ¡°Awoo!¡±
¡°Ah!¡± Su Wanwan screamed and threw herself at Huo Jingshen out of shock¡
The ck Mu Shang car hissed to a stop by the side of the road.
And then.
¡°Baby, are you¡trying to seduce me?!¡±
Su Wanwan was clutching his neck for dear life, almostpletely climbing on top of him, and her hands kept scratching around.
Meanwhile, in the back seat, KO was howling even more excitedly because the car had stopped, ¡°Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!¡±
His howls had rhythm and intensity.
Between KO¡¯s howls and Su Wanwan¡¯s screams, it wasplete chaos in the car.
Finally, Huo Jingshen said, impatiently, ¡°KO, if you continue howling, you will have to get out of the car and run home yourself.¡±
KO:
Seeing the stern expression on his owner¡¯s face, KO whimpered and buried its head into Fu Ziyang¡¯s arms.
Seekingfort.
Fu Ziyang patted KO¡¯s head, instructing it with his sweet voice, ¡°KO, be good and quiet.¡±
KO didn¡¯t dare make any more noise.
Otherwise, it would be the first dog in Nancheng to be kicked out of a car and to run home by itself.
Huo Jingshen also patted the littledy in his arms, ¡°It¡¯s okay, KO is just too captivated by beautiful women.¡±
Hearing this, KO seemed unhappy.
How does the saying go? The dog follows its master¡¯s lead! It¡¯s because of your teachings that I¡¯m like this!
However, KO didn¡¯t dare protest, and could only wag its tail discontentedly.
Su Wanwan began to calm down but was still too frightened to lift her head and whispered, in a voice like that of a mute ostrich, ¡°I¡¯m scared.¡±
The smallss was usually fearless and audacious, unafraid of anything and could even stand up to him. But now, she was shivering and whispering about being scared.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s heart instantly softened. He gently stroked her head andforted her with his soothing voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be, don¡¯t be. Hubby¡¯s here, sweetie.¡±
¡°Little Auntie,¡± Fu Ziyang also said, ¡°KO is actually a good boy and doesn¡¯t bite. You don¡¯t have to be scared. I¡¯ll keep him on a tight leash.¡±
Huo Jingshen rubbed her back, ¡°See, even a five-year-old child is braver than you.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Damn it¡ She didn¡¯t want to be so timid either.
But she had been bitten by a dog when she was young, and the mean dog had chased her for an entire block. The fear was so deeply ingrained that just seeing a dog would make her scared, let alone seeing a gigantic ck dog like KO.
¡°I¡¯ll put on some music. You don¡¯t have to look back. If you¡¯re scared, hold my arm.¡±
In his arms, Su Wanwan remained stiff for a while before finally nodding after he spoke.
Huo Jingshen let go of her and turned on the car¡¯s stereo.
Throughout the drive, Su Wanwan sat close to him, her arms around his right arm and her body tense as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
As soon as they arrived at the military districtpound and the car stopped, Su Wanwan immediately let go of him, jumped out of the car, and sprinted towards the house.
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
What an ungrateful wretch.
She discarded him as soon as she didn¡¯t need him anymore.
¡°Wanwan is here.¡±
¡°Hello Grandma, hello Grandpa.¡± After greeting the elders, Su Wanwan bent down to change into slippers. But before she could change¡
¡°Lord Chu, quick, look at my granddaughter-inw.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly lifted her head.
Lord Chu, a skinny, elderly man dressed in a ck robe appeared in her line of sight. He had an elegant and graceful manner, a semi-white beard, and was dressed like a storyteller.
¡°Wanwan, this is your Grandpa Chu.¡±
¡°Hello, Grandpa Chu.¡± Su Wanwan promptly greeted him in the sweetest voice..

¡°Is this the eldest granddaughter of the Su family?¡± Mr. Chu strokes his beard, ¡°Last time I saw her, she was just a little girl. How did she grow up so fast?¡±
He looks at Su Wanwan, jealousy increasing with each nce.
The young girl had bright and white teeth and was dressed simply, carrying a refreshing air about her. In contrast, his grandson¡¯spanions were shy, tacky women, none of which pleased him.
Just then, Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang walked in.
Upon seeing Fu Ziyang, Mr. Chu¡¯s envy deepened, his voice raised several decibels. ¡°Why¡ has the child grown so much?¡±
The Huo and Chu families, residing in the same courtyard, shared simr circumstances. Both had lots of grandchildren, now of age, and yet none of them had settled down. As a result, both families oftenpared their grandchildren, much to the neighborhood gossip.
Feeling pleased about receiving an unexpected birthday gift from his eldest grandson, Mr. Chu had strutted over to rub it in Mr. Huo¡¯s face. s, the tables were now turned, and he was the one feeling envious.
Sometimes you hurt yourself to defeat the enemy!
¡°This is not Ashen¡¯s son.¡± Mrs. Huo exined,ughing. ¡°It¡¯s his friend¡¯s kid. He¡¯s been living with him while studying in Nancheng.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is,¡± Mr. Chu said with relief. However, there was still something that¡
¡°Why is this boy and Ashen look so alike?¡±
Mr. Huo, who had been quiet all along, looked at Fu Ziyang with a deep frown.
Mrs. Huo continued to exin, ¡°They both look handsome. Of course, they look alike!¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha¡¡± Despiteughing, Mr. Chu silentlymented. Handsome? Are they as handsome as my Ahuang? Do they?
¡°Xiuhuang should being soon.¡± Huo Jingshen interjected.
Hearing that, Mr. Chu snorted loudly, ¡°Give me a break! That unfilial grandson of mine, gallivanting around with no regard, ying the field. Not a single decent girl among them, all inte celebrities, models, actresses¡ Can such women be trusted?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not good. They can¡¯t be depend on!¡± Mrs. Huo added. ¡°When choosing a bride, one should choose someone like Wanwan, a college student, pretty, and responsible. Ashen indeed has good taste. It was love at first sight for them. Ha ha ha ha.¡±
Su Wenwen: ¡°=, = ¡±
¡°Ah.¡± Mr. Chu clucked his tongue in disapproval, ¡°Ashen and Ahuang have grown up together. Howe their taste in women is so different?¡±
Su Wanwan once again, ¡°=, =¡±
Laughing at the praise for her grandson, Mrs. Huo consoled the old man, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t worry. Isn¡¯t Xiuhuang younger than Ashen?¡±
¡°Younger by what, only by two months! He¡¯s about to be thirty!¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, for someone like Xiuhuang, you should arrange more blind dates.¡± Huo Jingshen suggested seriously. ¡°Hecks experience, and all his girlfriends aren¡¯t dependable. The family elders should intervene.¡±
¡°Ashen has a point.¡± Mrs. Huo agreed right away, ¡°Just like our Nuanyang, nearly twenty-nine and still without a girlfriend. He blushes and stammers around women¡ So I often ask elder friends to introduce him to girls with good backgrounds.¡±
However, this only aggravated Mr. Chu further, ¡°Speaking of which, a friend¡¯s granddaughter just returned from studying abroad. A good girl, well-mannered. But you know what he did? On their first date, he suggested going to a hotel! My friend gave me an earful over the phone. Hepletely tarnished my reputation! Seriously, what sins did the Chu familymit to end up with such a rascal? That¡¯s it! I have to call him right away; this little scoundrel is going to be the death of me¡¡±
The angrier Mr. Chu grew, the more he felt the urge to leave.
After Mr. Chu left, Huo Jingshen let out a low chuckle.
Su Wanwan:
Has he just retaliated against Chu Xiuhuang?
It¡¯s stressful to be his friend. This old man is petty and holds grudges.
¡°Ashen.¡± Mr. Huo suddenly called in a stern tone, ¡°Follow me to the study.¡±
¡°Old man, it¡¯s past six o¡¯clock, almost dinner time, and you want to talk about work?!¡±
Mrs. Huo shot her husband a nce, ¡°You guys start eating.¡±
Huo Jingshen rose, ¡°Grandma, you, Wenwen, and Ziyang start eating. Ziyang, this is your great-grandmother.¡±
¡°Hello, great-grandma.¡± Fu Ziyang said obediently, before turning to Mr. Huo, ¡°Hello, great-grandpa.¡±
¡°Good, good, good. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to have something delicious.¡± Mrs. Huo fondly held his little hand, ¡°Wenwen, let¡¯s go have dinner.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Fu Ziyang, with his beautiful looks, polite manner, yet childish voice, was already five years old and well-behaved. Mrs. Huo liked him a lot.
Soon, Mr. Huo and Huo Jingshen came in from outside.
Once they had taken their seats, Mr. Huo stared nkly at the well-behaved Fu Ziyang for a long time without making a move.
¡°Husband, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Snapping back to reality, Mr. Huo finally reached for his chopsticks.
¡°What were you thinking about? You looked so absent-minded.¡± Mrs. Huo said with augh, ¡°Go on, bring over the red envelope..¡±
Chapter 202: 202, son of a dog

Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes brightened. She was getting another red envelope! Her grandparents really loved her.
She then saw old Mr. Huo get up and leave, quickly returning with a thick red envelope in his hand, which he ced in front of Fu Ziyang.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°Ziyang, thank old Grandpa.¡±
Fu Ziyang opened his little mouth and solemnly said, ¡°Thank you, old Grandpa.¡±
¡°Good boy.¡± Old Mr. Huo gazed at the sensible little fellow, unusually tender-hearted. His face smiled with kindness, the corners of his eyes even slightly moist.
¡°Old man,¡± old Mrs. Huo wore a stunned face, ¡°What happened to you?¡±
Huo Jingshen coughed twice.
Old Mr. Huo sighed, gradually calming down, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡±
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t notice the old man¡¯spse, fixedly concentrating on eating her food.
How embarrassing.
She had just assumed that she had another red envelope, but it turned out it was for Fu Ziyang¡
She felt a little foolish.
It¡¯s a good thing she didn¡¯t reach out to take it¡
*

After dinner, they unexpectedly started ying a children¡¯s show on the living room TV.
¡°Ziyang, what kind of cartoon do you like to watch? Old Grandpa will change it for you.¡±
Fu Ziyang sat there, his chubby face expressionless.
He hadn¡¯t watched these kind of idiotic children¡¯s shows in a long time, okay?
But seeing the enthusiasm in the old man¡¯s eyes, he curved his little mouth, adorably replying, ¡°This cartoon is fine, thank you old Grandpa.¡±
¡°Such a good boy.¡±
Old Mrs. Huo sat nearby, couldn¡¯t help but elbow her grandson, hinting with her eyes, ¡°Look at your grandfather, he loves children so much. You should hurry up and give us a grandchild to y with, understand?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at his grandmother, suddenly shouting, ¡°KO.¡±
KO, who was initially lounging on the balcony outside, immediately ran in, shaking its head around old Mrs. Huo¡¯s legs, circling about.
Then, she heard Huo Jingshen say, ¡°Grandma, Wanwan is still in school, so a baby is out of the question right now. We can only raise a dog as our son.¡±
Old Mrs. Huo:
So?
¡°So, Grandma, you can regard KO as your great-grandson.¡± Huo Jingshen said, his face unchanged.
Old Mrs. Huo once again:
*

After watching one episode of the cartoon, Huo Jingshen stands up, ¡°Grandma, we¡¯re going back.¡±
¡°This early? It¡¯s only a little past eight.¡±
¡°Ziyang has ss tomorrow.¡± Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, ncing at Su Wanwan sitting next to him, meaningfully adding, ¡°Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy.¡±
The child is still growing, it¡¯s indeed essential to go to bed and rise early. Old Mrs. Huo didn¡¯t think too much of it.
After all, it¡¯s more than half an hour¡¯s journey from the courtyard to the vi.
Hearing that its owners were leaving, KO immediately stood up on the balcony, only to let out a frightened bark when its dog head peeked into the living room and rmed Su Wanwan.
¡°Since Wanwan is so afraid of dogs, let¡¯s leave KO behind.¡± Old Mrs. Huo suggested.
¡°Yes, yes!¡± Su Wanwan, holding onto Huo Jingshen, urgently said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡±
KO:
Why do they have to treat a dog this way!
But before it could protest, the three actually left just like that.
KO looked at Mrs. Huo, let out a wretched howl¡
¡°Weng Ying,e to the study, I have something to say to you.¡±
Old Mrs. Huo was lost, but seeing her husband¡¯s serious face, she could only follow old Mr. Huo into the study.
KO stood alone on the balcony, for the first time it felt that since it came to China, life as a dog had be challenging.
At home it was disliked, and here, it was still disliked!
*

Half an hourter, at the Imperial Court vi.
Once they were home, Su Wanwan ran upstairs, went into the bedroom, only to find that the man had followed her in, then closed the door.
The click echoed like a secret code, startling Su Wanwan.
¡°What are you doing? I¡ I have something to do.¡±
¡°What?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was deep.
Su Wanwan shrunk her shoulders, honestly answering, ¡°Writing a reflection.¡±
The Dean of Students demanded it by tomorrow, 3,000 words, but she hadn¡¯t written a single word yet.
Hearing the words ¡°reflection,¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression turned serious, ¡°Did you make another mistake at school?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t this all your fault!¡± Mentioning this, Su Wanwan felt a surge of anger, ¡°You dropped me off at school, and a former high school ssmate saw us. She thought I was being kept by an old man, always picking on me. Yesterday, I couldn¡¯t take it anymore and gave her a good beating. Then, the Dean ordered both of us to write a 3,000-word reflection.¡±
Barely changing his expression after a while, Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°What shape did you put her in?¡±
He had thought these recent days she had been behaving at school, apparently, he thought too much.
¡°Anyway, she didn¡¯t die!¡±
Huo Jingshen once more:
¡°Would you help me write it, then!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes brightened suddenly, ttering him, ¡°The English homework you helped me writest time was praised by the teacher! They said you write very well!¡±
Huo Jingshen squinted his ck pupils, ¡°Are you addicted to ordering me around?¡±
Did this girl be a little spoiled?
Su Wanwan¡¯s face stiffened, ¡°If you¡¯re not writing, then don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
After saying this, she pushed him away, only to be pulled back by Huo Jingshen.
¡°Write, write, write. After we¡¯re done, I¡¯ll help you write your homework..¡±

The next morning.
¡°What are you up to now?¡± Su Wanwan was roused from her sleepy state by Huo Jingshen.
Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°Baby, do you have sses this morning?¡± ¡°I do, I do, I do!¡± Su Wanwan replied, angrily scratching at him.
Wincing from the sudden back pain, Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his gaze a mix of danger and warning, ¡°You¡¯re not lying to me?¡±
¡°No! Lying! To you!¡± Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.
If it weren¡¯t for Li Mochou¡¯s English ss this morning, how she wished she could skip sses¡
Right, what about the reflection essay you were supposed to write!¡± Su Wanwan suddenly remembered this important task, ¡°You didn¡¯t forget about it did you?¡± ¡¯
Huo Jingshen:
He truly had forgotten.
However¡
¡°I finished it. I¡¯ll send it to you once I get to the office.¡± After delivering his lie with a straight face, Huo Jingshen added, ¡°And send me your ss scheduleter.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Send you my ss schedule?
So you can keep track of my schedule and be properly sadistic?
Hmph!
I¡¯d be a fool to send it to you!
*

Because he dropped Su Wanwan off at school, Huo Jingshen arrived at the office before nine o¡¯clock once again today.
As a president who always arrives early to work, it keeps everyone at Huo Yuan Group on their toes.
While waiting for only a few seconds for the private elevator, business suit d executives and employees are standing there, anxiously, on thin ice.
Finally, the president¡¯s exclusive elevator arrived, and Huo Jingshen walked in.
He was dressed in a handmade high-end ck suit, a snow-white shirt free of any speck of dust and a neat, aloof dark blue tie. He looked somehow., splendidly radiant.
He gave a slight nod, and the elevator doors closed.
Amotion erupted outside the elevator:
¡°What¡¯s up with President Huotely?¡±
¡°Hees to thepany before nine o¡¯clock every day, so much pressure!¡±
¡°He¡¯s not going to run anotherpany discipline overhaul, right?¡±
Didn¡¯t he justy off a bunch of employees a while ago?¡±
Can¡¯t help it, a new official likes to show his authority!¡±
¡°Terrible¡¡±

50th floor.
Huo Jingshen stepped out of the elevator.
As he was passing by the secretary¡¯s office, his tall figure abruptly stopped. ¡°President Huo, good morning.¡± Ji Jie immediately got up and greeted him respectfully.
With a slight raise of his handsome eyebrows, Huo Jingshen opened his thin hps, ¡°Write a 3000-word reflection report and send it to my mailbox in an hour.¡±
¡°Huh? Ref¡Reflection report?¡±
Huo Jingshen acknowledged with a noble nod, ¡°Recently, you¡¯ve been cking off in your work.¡±
Ji Jie blurted out, ¡°President Huo, I apologize, I shouldn¡¯t have yed games during work hours.¡±
Even though it was just past nine in the morning.
Huo Jingshen looked at him, his ck eyes narrowing.
ying games?
Sneaking game snacks into the office first thing in the morning? His handsome face suddenly darkened, ¡°4000 words, send it to my mailbox once you¡¯re done.¡±
After saying that, he turned around and left in his usual aloof manner.
Ji Jie rapidly picked up his phone.
Because Huo Jingshen suddenly showed up, he hadn¡¯t been able to check his screen after parachuting, now the screen was ck¡ he was dead.
Damn, does President Huo have x-ray vision?
He could see him ying games from the door all the way across to his desk?
The next second, he suddenly spun around: ¡°Who ratted me out!¡±
The group of female secretaries exchanged nces.

Nancheng University.
Su Wanwan walked into the ssroom and had just sat down.
¡°Su Wanwan.¡± A chubby girl suddenly came over, ¡°Can you dance?¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a wee partying up at school, and our ss has to present two performances, you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not participating.¡± Su Wanwan stated firmly,pletely unaware that¡
¡°No way, Lin Qiao insists that you, as a new student, must actively participate in ss activities.¡±
Su Wanwan:
It was that bitch Lin Qiao again!
All day long, she wouldn¡¯t be happy unless she stirred up some trouble, right? ¡°If you can¡¯t dance, we can perform something else, it¡¯s just that there are too many mmi-chorus performances, and as for the skits, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t have enough time to rehearse and memorize the lines¡¡±
Just then, her phone rang, and Su Wanwan quickly said, ¡°Okay, you guys decide, just keep it simple.¡±
¡°Okay, my name is Zhao Qianqian, I¡¯m the ss lifemittee member let¡¯s discuss this together after ss.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡± Su Wanwan felt helpless.
After Zhao Qianqian left, she quickly picked up her phone.
It was a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi.
[Wanwan, I¡¯lle to the school to find you this afternoon.]

Lishui Bay, Mo¡¯s residence.
Sitting on the living room sofa, Mo Weiyi put down her phone.
The maid called out, ¡°Miss, I¡¯ll go upstairs to tidy up the room.¡±
¡°Wait a minute.¡±
Jiang Auntie turned around.
Mo Weiyi brushed her curly hair, her loose beige knitted top and orange long skirt made her lookzy yet sweet, ¡°There¡¯s no need to clean up today, apany me to the schoolter.¡±
Jiang Auntie nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±
After a while, Xiao Yebai descended the stairs.
He was tall and slender, impably dressed in a sharp ck suit, without a single wrinkle, and paired with his schrly sses, his face was handsome but cold, exuding a certain keep-away vibe.
Except, of course, when he was with Mo Weiyi.
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Her soft voice cooed, ¡°Come and carry your wife to breakfast.¡±
Xiao Yebai came over, and while carrying her, his deep, clear voice asked, ¡°Why are you up so early today?¡±
¡°To have breakfast with you!¡±
Xiao Yebai:¡±¡.¡±
Chapter 204: 204, a toad wants to eat swan meat

Trantor: 549690339
When they reached the dining table, Xiao Yebai set her down on a chair and said, ¡°I need to head to thepany.¡±
¡°No way!¡± Mo Weiyi grabbed his arm, her beautiful eyes blinking, with a hint of coquettishness. ¡°I specifically woke up early to join you for breakfast. You are not leaving until we finish.¡±
Xiao Yebai stood there, his deep eyes hidden behind his sses shifted slightly, ¡°I have a meeting at 10 o¡¯clock.¡±
¡°Who is more important than your wife? Sit down quickly. I will have breakfast with you and only after we finish, you are allowed to leave.¡±
Mo Weiyi freed a hand to pat the chair, herintsing out in fragments, ¡°You always skip breakfast before heading to work and like to drink alcohol on an empty stomach. When would your stomach problems improve?¡±
Xiao Yebai nced at the watch, after all, he did sit down.
Mo Weiyi jumped with joy and wrapped her arm around her husband¡¯s, ¡°You want to drink milk or soymilk?¡±
¡°Coffee.¡±
¡°You want to eat Baozi or Egg cake?¡±
¡°Sandwich.¡±
Watching her struggling to attend to the food, Xiao Yebai¡¯s thin lips opened, saying lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±
¡°No, let me do it for you.¡± Mo Weiyi acted like an obedient wife.
Although all food had been prepared by the maid, she was only helping to serve it.
Watching him finish a cup of ck coffee and a sandwich, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but nag again, ¡°Is it good to eat these things so early in the morning?¡±
But Xiao Yebai checked his watch again, ¡°Weiyi, I might bete.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re runningte, just call them and let them wait.¡± Mo Weiyi took a sip of millet porridge, unconcerned. ¡°You are the president, isn¡¯t it okay to make your subordinates wait?¡±
¡°They are not my subordinates.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was neutral.
¡°Then who are they?¡± Mo Weiyi frowned.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his face looked handsome and expressionless. After a while, he finally said in a casual tone, ¡°Some investors. We will be discussing the investment n for Mo Family¡¯s next quarter. The chairman will also be there.¡±
¡°Okay, then I won¡¯t eat anymore.¡± Mo Weiyi put down her spoon and stretched out her arms, ¡°Xiaobai, carry me back.¡±
Xiao Yebai held her up, ¡°Aunt Jiang, please clean up the table.¡±
Reaching the living room, he set Mo Weiyi down on the couch and said, ¡°I have to go to thepany now.¡±
¡°Kiss me before you go.¡± Mo Weiyi made another request.
Having had breakfast with her husband for once, she was in a good mood.
Seeing her pouting her lips and looking adorably demanding, Xiao Yebai¡¯s brows and eyes twitched, he bent down.
A brief peck.
He quickly got up, took his car keys, and left.
¡°Young Master Xiao.¡± Rong An wasing in from outside.
After greeting him, he slowly walked into the living room and saw that Mo Weiyi was sitting on the couch, engrossed in a detective novel.
She was so absorbed that she didn¡¯t even raise her head.
It wasn¡¯t until Aunt Jiang came out of the kitchen wiping her hands that Mo Weiyi put down the novel, ¡°Rong An, drive me to school.¡±
*
*
By the time they got to school, it was still early.
Mo Weiyi had specifically asked the ss leader for a ss schedulest night. There were two International Economics Law sses this morning.
As soon as she walked into the ssroom, everyone was surprised.
After all, Mo Weiyi was the kind of goddess at school that one rarely saw. At the beginning of junior year, it was heard that she had injured her foot and had rarely been seen at school since then.
Today she actually came to ss early in the morning!
Except for using a crutch, she was still as gorgeous and attractive as ever.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes swept over the ssroom, but she couldn¡¯t spot Li Feifei.
Just then, the professor walked in. ¡°ss is starting, everyone sit down.¡±
She frowned and chose an empty seat to sit down.
Originally she wanted to wait for Li Feifei. But before she knew it, small notes were being thrown onto her desk.
One.
Two.
Three¡
Mo Weiyi grew impatient and picked them all up and tossed them on the floor.
There was a burst of suppressedughter from behind her.
¡°Overestimating one¡¯s abilities!¡±
¡°Told you earlier, our campus beauty isn¡¯t interested in you!¡±
¡°If she¡¯s not interested in me, would she be interested in you?¡±
¡°At least I¡¯m not like you, a toad lusting after a swan!¡±

An hourter.
Aunt Jiang received a message from Mo Weiyi and quickly headed to the ssroom. Just as she reached the door,
¡°Mrs. Jiang?¡±
Aunt Jiang was startled by the voice and took a closer look.
¡°Feifei?¡±
It was her son¡¯s girlfriend, Li Feifei. They had just had dinner togetherst week.
¡°Aunt Jiang, why did youe to school?¡±
¡°Ah, I was passing by, just having a look.¡±
But Li Feifei noticed Aunt Jiang¡¯s attire. It waspletely different from when they dined together. It was simple and low-profile, without any makeup or jewelry.
¡°Aunt Jiang, are you here to see me?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Aunt Jiang stuttered a bit, ¡°Not¡ I¡ I¡¯m looking for¡¡±
¡°Whom are you looking for?¡±
Before Li Feifei¡¯s words fell, there was suddenly a voice from behind, ¡°Aunt Jiang,e and support me.¡±
At hearing this, Aunt Jiang¡¯s face changed instantly.
¡°Aunt Jiang? Didn¡¯t you hear me? Come and support me.¡± Mo Weiyi raised her voice.
Aunt Jiang turned around, went over and supported Mo Weiyi¡¯s arm.
The two of them slowly walked over.
Mo Weiyi was dressed in cream-colored knitwear and an orange long skirt, leaning on her crutch, her signature emotionless face exuding a kind of haughtiness and unconventional charm.
Aunt Jiang on the other hand was supporting her arm, bending over, her head down, being extremely careful and humble¡ like a servant attending a princess!
When they reached, Mo Weiyi flicked her long hair, her tonezy yet arrogant, ¡°Aunt Jiang, do you¡. know my ssmate?¡±
Chapter 205: 205, the whole world’s parents’ hearts are pitiful
Chapter 205: the whole world¡¯s parents¡¯ hearts are pitiful
Trantor: 549690339
When she got there, Mo Weiyi flicked her long hair with a tone full ofzy arrogance, ¡°Aunt Jiang, how¡ do you know my ssmates?¡±
Aunt Jiang lowered her head, saying nothing.
Mo Weiyi turned her attention to Li Feifei, ¡°Feifei, do you know my family¡¯s¡ aunt?¡±
She had already used very subtle wording.
Yet Li Feifei looked shocked, ¡°Aunt?¡±
At this point, Aunt Jiang was flushed red, experiencing both embarrassment and dismay.
¡°Aunt Jiang, why did you lie to me?¡±
Li Feifei¡¯s voice rose in sharp disbelief, ¡°Xingyu said that your family owns more than a dozen properties in Nancheng, Uncle Guo and you are both investors, and also said that yourpany is nning to open several branches next year, how could you¡ how could you just be¡ a maid?¡±
Mo Weiyi:
What the hell!
She had originally intended to confront Aunt Jiang, but who would have thought the two would begin a confrontation themselves?
Their surprise, outrage, and disbelief were raw and genuine, not at all like a sham.
So, was it possible that Feifei didn¡¯t know that Aunt Jiang had stolen the pair of earrings?
A woman with a fondness for vanity had happened toe across a simrly vain family?
This was quite an eye-opener for Mo Weiyi.
Li Feifei grabbed Aunt Jiang¡¯s arm, continuing her interrogation, ¡°The Burberry coat you wore that day, the Chanel bag you were carrying, the BMW X6 you were driving¡ what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Aunt Jiang stammered, her face filled with embarrassment.
¡°Was all of this a lie? Did Xingyu lie to me too? We¡¯ve been dating for over a year, and he always found an excuse not to introduce me to you and Uncle, is it because you are not wealthy at all? The vi, the dozens of properties, the branchpanies¡ were all fake!¡±
¡°Ok, enough.¡± Mo Weiyi interrupted impatiently with a throbbing headache, ¡°It¡¯s really not that big of a deal, why are you making such a fuss?¡±
Li Feifei looked at Mo Weiyi, almost biting her lip in anger.
Just yesterday, she had been showing off her beautiful earrings to Mo Weiyi and all her other ssmates, bragging about how rich her boyfriend was and how well he treated her, but now¡ everything was a lie!
She felt like aughingstock because the status she had been unting was worth nothing in front of Mo Weiyi, her boyfriend¡¯s mother was merely a lowly maid in the Mo family!
Mo Weiyi must have deliberately brought the maid to school today just to embarrass her, intending for everyone to see how ridiculous and disgraceful she was!
So, when she saw peopleing out of the ssroom, Li Feifei turned around and ran.
¡°Hey, stop right there!¡± Mo Weiyi shouted.
But with her leg still recovering, she could only watch helplessly as Feifei ran away.
Mo Weiyi was infuriated and quickly pulled out her phone to call the bodyguard, ¡°Rong An, get over here now!¡±
¡°Princess,¡± Aunt Jiang started pleading while holding her hand, ¡°I beg you, please don¡¯t fire me.¡±
Mo Weiyi frowned, ¡°Are you admitting to it?¡±
Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiang replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to deceive anyone; it¡¯s just that we are not well off and my son was afraid that Feifei would look down on him and break up with him, so he had me and my husband pretend to be wealthy¡¡± ¡°What about the clothes, the bag, and that BMW she mentioned?¡±
¡°The clothes and bag are what you gave me before, I just didn¡¯t dare use them, and the car was rented from a car dealership by my son.¡±
Mo Weiyi was shocked that Aunt Jiang still refused to admit her thievery. ¡°Princess,¡± Aunt Jiang¡¯s voice started to tremble with sobs, ¡°My son really loves Feifei and I couldn¡¯t bear to let him be disappointed. So, I¡ He is my only son, and I have worked hard to raise him. When he finally met a girl he likes¡¡± ¡°If she is so vain, what does your son like about her?¡± Mo Weiyi was puzzled. Li Feifei was just an average-looking girl,cking temperament and very vain, who loved showing off. Did they really need to bend over backward for her? ¡°A parent¡¯s heart is inevitably biased towards their children, Princess. Just like Chairman Mo with you, when you want something, he¡¯s willing to give it to you. We parents just want our children to be happy.¡± Aunt Jiang said as tears streamed down her face. Then, she dropped to her knees with a ¡°thud¡±, ¡°Princess, I desperately need this job. Please don¡¯t fire me, I beg you¡¡±
Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
By now, several students had gathered to watch themotion.
Mo hurriedly said, ¡°Please get up.¡±
However, Aunt Jiang was stubborn, ¡°Princess, please don¡¯t be angry. Please forgive me. It¡¯s all my fault. I promise I won¡¯t do it again, Princess¡¡±
Whispers started to spread among the observing students:
¡°She¡¯s crying so hard and yet she¡¯s not forgiving her.¡±
¡°The school beauty is acting too wilful and domineering!¡±
¡°All rich people behave like this!¡±
¡°She¡¯s too harsh on the poordy¡¡±

Meanwhile, at the Mo Group.
In the top-floor conference room, Xiao Yebai was sitting on a ck leather chair, quietly looking at the screen projection.
His sses entuated his stern side profile, his lips thin and expressionless. Finally, the presentation ended.
The secretary turned on the lights, and opened the curtains. The once gloomy conference room was immediately filled with light.
In one corner, Qu Yunyao turned her gaze and began to look at the documents on herp..

¡°President Xiao, what you just saw are the trailers for the series of films EMC Company ns to invest in and shoot next year. In my opinion, these films are quite impressive, captivating the modern audience¡¯s psychology, with a considerable investment value. We, Qi Ao, are quite optimistic about them, YiXin and Huanyu Media also think they¡¯re worth investing in. What are your opinions after watching them?¡± A bowing investor asked for guidance.
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t respond.
He hung his head, his slender fingers holding a ck pen. Light from the window cast into the room, causing reflections on his sses, making it hard to discern his expression.
His silence created an awkward atmosphere.
After a light cough, Mo Yaoxiong spoke up, ¡°Our Mo Family has never ventured into the film and television industry. I can¡¯t really understand these trailers, but since everyone is optimistic about them, I guess we can consider them. Yebai, what are your thoughts? Please share.¡±
Tapping his pen twice on the table, Xiao Yebai finally looked up, his thin lips forming a faint response, ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, but I can¡¯t really see any potential investment value in these works.¡±
Upon hearing these words, that investor¡¯s face turned dark immediately, and the expressions of other representatives also turned awkward.
Therge conference room became so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Until¡
¡°Heh.¡±
A cold snort suddenly erupted.
Qu Yunyao was stunned.
Xu Rui mmed the data onto the conference table, abruptly stood up, anger ring as he questioned, ¡°President Xiao, what do you mean by that? If Mo Family is not willing to invest, please decline directly. I, Xu Rui, hate people who pretend to know when they don¡¯t and people who insult and ridicule art!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you show me the trailer for an evaluation?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice stayed level without a trace of emotion.
With a loud ¡°thud,¡± Xu Rui mmed his palm on the conference table again, ¡°You¡¯re free to dislike my concept, but please do not insult my work! To a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. You have only seen a portion of the trailer, and yet you jump to conclusions. This only stresses your superficiality!¡±
¡°Director Xu.¡± Compared to Xu Rui¡¯s outburst, Xiao Yebai remainedposed and detached, his voice calm and steady, ¡°As you said, ¡®to a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Why was my opinion interpreted as an insult to your work? Can it be that you prefer silence over feedback on your work? Or is it that Director Xu can only receive praises and can¡¯t take any feedback?¡±
Xu Rui was rendered speechless.
Initially, he considered this young President Xiao, with his pretty and schrly appearance who relied on women to advance in status, merely an empty shell. But to his surprise¡
He was more than meets the eye.
He quicklyposed himself and argued, ¡°But you don¡¯t understand what art is. My trailer is just a synopsis. There are many more exciting parts you haven¡¯t seen yet!¡±
¡°Since you¡¯re seeking my investment, shouldn¡¯t you havee prepared, presenting the most exciting parts?¡± Xiao Yebai, with his soft voice butpelling urgency asked, ¡°I am a businessman. I merely follow the rules of business and principles of economic operation. By showing us a trailer without any highlights and no visiblemercial value, expecting me to invest 10 billion¡¡±
He formed his thin lips into a light smirk, ¡°Is this your insincerity? Or do you think all investors are stupid rich suckers?¡±
At this point, Xu Rui waspletely stunned.
An elegant man adorned in a suit, tie, and thin-rimmed sses unceremoniously spits out the word ¡®sucker¡¯¡
How incongruous!
As for the other investors on-site, their faces turned grim.
Just now, to save face for Mo Yaoxiong, they seemed quite optimistic, deciding to invest. But now, they essentially confirmed Xiao Yebai¡¯s epithet of ¡®suckers.¡¯
They were being openly criticized by a man in his twenties¡
Those with abrasive personalities, those who were older, more experienced ¨C how could they swallow this insult?
An executive in his forties stood up and pounded the table, ¡°Xiao Yebai, what do you mean by that? If you don¡¯t understand art, don¡¯t utter nonsense! Just because you don¡¯t see its potential ¨C ¨C does that mean we are all wrong?¡± ¡°President Fang is right!¡± Another executive in his thirties agreed, ¡°We¡¯ve consulted with dozens of domestic film critics and scriptwriters. They reviewed the trailers and scripts, and it was after aprehensive evaluation that I decided to invest. Are those film critics and scriptwriters¡ idiots too?¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡±
¡°Liu¡¯s got a point here.¡±
¡°I also quite like these works.¡±
II II
The conference room buzzed with discussions. It seemed somewhat uncontroble for a while.
¡°Ahem.¡± Mo Yaoxiong had to get up and mediate, ¡°Our Mo family has never ventured into the film and television market. Yebai¡¯s concerns are understandable. Everyone, calm down first¡¡±
A cell phone ringtone suddenly broke the tension.
Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiao Yebai picked up the phone from the table, took a nce, then stood up, ¡°Zhong Kai.¡±
Zhong Kai also quickly stood up, ¡°President Xiao..¡±

¡°Help me see the higher-ups out. Then make the announcement to hold a senior management meeting at eleven to report the aftermath of ourst resort.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Xiao Yebai slightly nodded at everyone, and soon, his tall and cold figure left the conference room.
Xu Rui stood there in shock, and the others were looking at each other in disbelief.
Was today¡¯s meeting over just like that?
*

The call came from Aunt Jiang.
¡°Mr. Xiao, I beg you, please don¡¯t fire me. I have elderly people and children to take care of. I really need this job. Mr. Xiao, please persuade the princess for me, I really can¡¯t lose this job¡¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
Everyone in the service know Xiao Yebai¡¯s mobile number, but they rarely call him directly.
Especially about these minor things.
¡°The princess got angry just now, she asked me to go home and said she didn¡¯t need me to work at the vi anymore, no matter how much I pleaded, she wouldn¡¯t agree. Mr. Xiao, I really don¡¯t know what to do¡¡± After speaking, Aunt Jiang started crying.
His handsome eyebrows twitched slightly, Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I understand, I have other matters at hand, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡±
Setting down the phone, Xiao Yebai sat there, his slender fingers pressing on his temples gently.
Mo Weiyi has a sensitive character, but she never gives others a hard time without a reason, let alone Aunt Jiang, whom she had hired herself.

Chairman¡¯s Office.
¡°Uncle.¡±
Qu Yunyao apologised, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I originally thought that since so many people appreciated these works, it should be easy to pass my brother-inw¡¯s review. I didn¡¯t expect that¡¡±
¡°How is it rted to you? That¡¯s just how Yebai is, he is pretty direct and says whatever he wants to say.¡±
¡°Is there any room for maneuver?¡± Qu Yunyao asked.
Mo Yaoxiong didn¡¯t utter a word.
In fact, he was unsure himself.
Ever since Xiao Yebai officially took over the Mo family two years ago, his decisive and quick actions were even harsher than the old patriarch. Once he decided on something, even if the entire board of directors disagreed, they couldn¡¯t change his mind.
In handing over thepany, Mo Yaoxiong had peace of mind.
Because in these two years, the development of Mo Family has indeed been swift and rapid, not only securing thepany¡¯s internal and external affairs, bing proper, along with the Mo Family, they also ranked amongst the top ten wealthy families in Nancheng.
From a business perspective, Xiao Yebai is an extraordinary business genius, but the only regret is¡
¡°Xu Rui is just a bit hot-tempered, but he¡¯s really talented.¡± Qu Yunyao tirelessly spoke highly of the director, ¡°All these works were shot by him in China and the United States over recent years. Although there aren¡¯t any big stars, the subject matter ispletely fine. Now it only needs a financial injection for the following work, I believe as long as it isunched on the market, it will certainly be a great hit.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, ¡°What exactly is your rtionship with Director Xu?¡±
¡°Actually, he¡¯s my boyfriend.¡± Qu Yunyao said shyly, ¡°I was worried it would put my uncle in a tough spot, so I didn¡¯t dare to talk about it.¡±
I see.
Mo Yaoxiong nodded his head.
Xu Jing, this daughter of his, is indeed very considerate.
He sighed, ¡°This way, you let Xu Rui re-edit the trailer, as Yebai suggested, extract the most exciting parts, andter I will find an opportunity to bring Yebai along, and we can discuss this matter again.¡±
¡°Thank you, Uncle!¡± Qu Yunyao was overjoyed.
She knew that Mo Yaoxiong would help her for the sake of her aunt¡¯s face.
The Mo Family has been having only sons for several generations. To Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s generation, the knees were just Mo Weiyi left.
It can be said that in Nancheng, the Mo family doesn¡¯t really have any close rtives, moreover with Xu Xian having passed away many years ago, both emotionally and reasonably, they have to look after these few female members left in the Xu family.
Sure enough, Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°We are all family, don¡¯t be so polite.¡±
Qu Yunyao nodded, ¡°Uncle, I will head back first, I will cooperate with Xu Rui to re-edit the trailer as soon as possible, and then prepare a detailed n.¡±
Watching her, Mo Yaoxiong, as if thinking of something, couldn¡¯t help but sigh again, ¡°You are only a year younger than Weiyi, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so capable already, even helping your boyfriend set up a business. Ah, if only Weiyi could be half as considerate as you.¡±
¡°I just helped out a little bit.¡± Qu Yunyao appeared to be humble, but inside, she was blooming with euphoria, ¡°And I¡¯m also envious of Weiyi, she is so pretty, and the husband she chose is so handsome, and also so excellent, they are the true princess and prince.¡±
Princess and prince?
Mo Yaoxiong chuckled, considering Qu Yunyao¡¯s dreamy ideas as a result of her young age.

¡°Achoo!¡±
In the school¡¯s milk tea shop, Mo Weiyi sneezed violently.
She wrinkled her little nose.
Again, which little bitch was talking behind her back?
She nced at the time. Was it almost noon? Had Su Wanwan¡¯s ss not ended yet?
Why was she taking university so seriously for?
She pulled out her phone andunched another text bomb.
Finally, twenty minutester.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
¡°Wanwan darling, you finally came.¡± Mo Weiyi waved her tiny hand. When Su Wanwan came to sit beside her, she began pouring her grievances, ¡°Do you know, I almost didn¡¯t get to see you just now!¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Su Wanwan was stunned, ¡°What happened to you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s about Aunt Jiang.¡±
Chapter 208: 208, Mo Weiyi’s black post
Chapter 208: Mo Weiyi¡¯s ck post
Trantor: 549690339 |
After hearing the whole story, Su Wanwan said, ¡°You did nothing wrong. It¡¯s typical for people who show off in public to do petty theft. She probably thought you wouldn¡¯t notice if one or two pieces of your jewelry went missing. But once a thief, always a thief. It¡¯s better to dismiss her altogether than having her as potential trouble.¡±
¡°I thought so too, but she created such a scene. She was crying, making a racket, and even knelt down in front of everyone. If Rong An hadn¡¯t taken her away, who knows how long she would¡¯ve made a scene.¡±
After saying this, Mo Weiyi bit hard on her straw. ¡°It¡¯s all Li Feifei¡¯s fault. She ran away as soon as she realized something was wrong. No one even knew what was happening. They probably think I was bullying her. I bet there¡¯re posts ndering me on the school forum right now.¡±.
Su Wanwan chuckled, ¡°Are you afraid of being maligned?¡±
When Mo Weiyi was in school, she always dressed mboyantly. She always had bodyguards and nannies following her around. And when she used to go home on weekends, Xiao Yebai always picked her up in a luxury car worth millions.
Over time, some students who resented the rich began to gossip behind her back.
Especially in high school when she and Mo Weiyi often skipped sses to go to bars. The two of them were not only on the dormitory manager¡¯s cklist but also popr figures on the school forum. Countless posts were made to nder them, attempting to spread rumors about them. She thought she was already ustomed to such things.
Mo Weiyi said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of nder, but I also need to maintain my image, don¡¯t I? After all, I¡¯m married now.¡±
She has to consider Xiaobai¡¯s feelings.
And being wrongly used and tarnished would certainly upset him.
Su Wanwan took out her phone andughed, ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡±
To her surprise, there really were nderous posts on the South University forum.
And not just one!
[Maid weeping and kneeling, Insulted on the spot]
[School beauty princess forces maid to kneel and apologize in a bad mood?]
[Shocking! Spoiled school beauty publicly berates maid, HD video leaked!]
Nancheng is really the top university, even the students who use the forum are masters of sensational headlines¡ the titles are even more stirring than tabloid news.
Seeing the look on her face, Mo Weiyi was speechless, ¡°So there really are nderous posts?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
¡°No way, I need to find Li Feifei! She needs to clear this up for me!¡± Saying this, Mo Weiyi stood up.
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Su Wanwan stopped her friend. ¡°She doesn¡¯t know that Aunt Jiang is your maid and she definitely doesn¡¯t know that the diamond earrings weren¡¯t bought by her boyfriend, but were stolen by Aunt Jiang. She loves vanity so much, do you think she¡¯d be willing to admit she was wrong in public?¡±
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, ¡°That makes sense.¡±
¡°Also, Aunt Jiang only admitted to lying, not to stealing, which suggests that she doesn¡¯t know you¡¯ve found out about her stealing.¡±
Mo Weiyi clenched her fist, ¡°But thinking about my earrings being worn by that Li Feifei, and she showing them off, it infuriates me!¡±
Su Wanwan thought for a moment, ¡°There¡¯s a way to make Li Feifei voluntarily return the earrings to you, want to give it a try?¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately nodded in agreement, ¡°Yes, go ahead and tell me.¡±
After lunch, Su Wanwan followed Mo Weiyi back to her dorm.
As soon as they walked in, there was Li Feifei sitting.
When Mo Weiyi entered, a look of panic shed across Li Feifei¡¯s face.
The other girls were very enthusiastic, and no one brought up the posts on the forum.
Aftera 11, it was normal for a girl like Mo Weiyi whoes from a well-off family to be a bit aggressive. On the surface, everyone was still respectful and enthusiastic towards her.
¡°I heard from Wanwan that our school is organizing a wee party, does our ss have a program?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
One of the girls answered, ¡°Yes, our ss is organizing a skit. Would you be interested in participating, Weiyi?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going to participate, my feet haven¡¯t recovered yet.¡± After saying that, Mo Weiyi looked at Li Feifei, ¡°Feifei you¡¯re participating, right?¡±
Having been named, Li Feifei froze.
¡°Feifei is definitely participating. She¡¯s ying Todo Shizu and was memorizing lines just now.¡±
¡°That sounds great, I¡¯ll definitelye to watch. Feifei is such a good actress; I¡¯m sure she will do well.¡±
Hearing Mo Weiyi¡¯s words, Li Feifei could barely keep her expression in check.
¡°Weiyi,¡± the literature clubmittee member walked over to her at this point. ¡°I¡¯ve been wanting to speak to you about the funding for this term¡¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Mo Weiyi quickly agreed. ¡°How much do we need?¡±
¡°Same as before, two hundred thousand.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell my husband to let his assistant deliver the check in the next few days. If you need anything else, please let me know. Please, don¡¯t be modest.¡±
¡°For now, there is nothing else.¡± Themittee member said with a smile, ¡°Thank you so much. Without your family¡¯s sponsorship, our department¡¯s activities each semester would not have been so sessful.¡±
Mo Weiyi smiled, ¡°Alright, I have to go shopping with my friend now.¡±
Having said this, she and Su Wanwan left the dorm.
Because she was leaning on a crutch, they walked slowly. Sure enough, as they reached the elevator, they heard Li Feifei¡¯s voice behind them.
¡°Mo Weiyi, wait a minute..¡±

Mo Weiyi halted her steps while Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Mo Weiyi,¡± Li Feifei rushed over and looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Can I talk to Mo Weiyi alone for a minute.¡±
¡°Just say whatever you want. Wanwan is my best friend. There¡¯s nothing she can¡¯t hear.¡±
But Li Feifei was insistent.
So Su Wanwan said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
Once Su Wanwan had left in the elevator, Li Feifei nced around before saying, ¡°Weiyi, could you not mention what happened this morning?¡± ¡°You mean¡Aunt Jiang?¡±
Li Feifei nodded, ¡°I didn¡¯t know she would lie to me. I¡¯ve and broke up with him¡¡±

A sarcastic chuckle echoed inside Mo Weiyi¡¯s head. They broke up that quickly?
Itsnot that I can¡¯t ept a boyfriend from a poor family, I¡¯m just angry at hem for deceiving me and taking me for a fool! But I don¡¯t want my ssmates o know about this, especially the girls in our dorm, they always seem nice but they love to goss.p and spread rumors behind people¡¯s back. Do you know what
Annoyance shed across Mo Weiyi¡¯s face.
Noticing her expression, Li Feifei hurriedly added, ¡°If they knew I was deceived by my boyfriend and that his mother is a maid, they would ridicule me re entlessly! I really can¡¯t face that kind of humiliation! So, can you help me keep this secret?¡±

¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t say anything,¡± Mo Weiyi replied casually as she flicked er hair back, ¡°I don¡¯t care what they say about me. Besides, I came to school today to change my dorm.¡±

Since freshman year, she has been unting her opulence and only attended school a few times. Now that she is going to change dorms, she would not have any chance to gossip.
The next day.
In the morning, at the Mo family vi.
Xiao Yebai had just arrived downstairs.

Xiao Yebai:
¡°This time it was my mistake, 1 upset the princess. From now on, I will serve the princess well and avoid making her angry.¡±
Xiao Yebai nodded.
He thought Mo Weiyi was just acting like a petnt child, and her tantrums quickly passed.
After Xiao Yebai had gone, Aunt Jiang, having tidied up the living room, went upstairs and knocked on the bedroom door.
¡°Come in.¡±
Aunt Jiang entered the room and saw Mo Weiyi seated at her vanity. ¡°Princess.¡±
MO Weiyi nced at Aunt Jiang through her mirror and said, ¡°Aunt Jiang I¡¯m used to your care after two years, and I trust you. That¡¯s why I¡¯m giving you another chance.¡±

Princess, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll do my job well.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Mo Weiyi asked, ¡°How are Feifei and your son doing?¡±
Aunt Jiang said, ¡°Xingyu said he would apologize to Feifei. I also advised him to be honest and diligent in whatever he does, one step at a time.¡±
Smoothing her lips, Mo Weiyi said, ¡°Aunt Jiang,e here and help me choose which ne looks better?¡± ¡¯
Aunt Jiang rushed over.
There were several pearl nes in the jewelry box on the table The

Aunt Jiang pretended topare them and picked one, ¡°This pink one is pretty nice, itplements your skin tone.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
MO Weiyi picked up the pink ne andpared it against her chest, ¡°Well let¡¯s go with this one.¡± ¡¯
vanity, there are too many things, it¡¯s a bit messy.¡±
¡°Of course, princess.¡±
Saying this, Aunt Jiang got to work tidying up.
And Mo Weiyi left right away.
When she got downstairs.
In the study, she dialed Su Wanwan¡¯s number, ¡°Wanwan, I let Aunt Jiange back to work. What did Li Feifei say?¡±
Su Wanwanughed and said, ¡°Without somepensation for breaking up do you thmk¡a woman like Li Feifei would easily agree to break up?¡± tZXX^

After chatting for some time, Su Wanwan said, ¡°Let¡¯s talkter. It¡¯s almost io:ooam. I have to go to the disciplinemittee to hand in my reflection.¡±
¡°Sure..¡±
Chapter 210: 210, Self-criticism Letter
Chapter 210: Self-criticism Letter
Trantor: 549690339 I
When Su Wanwan arrived at the discipline office, Lin Qiao was already inside.
The discipline director had a stern face, ¡°Su, you¡¯re here. Show me your reflection letter.¡±
Su Wanwan hurriedly took out the printed reflection letter she had prepared.
That is¡
The reflection letter written for her by Huo Jingshen.
It was over 3000 words long, almost four A4 paper sheets.
Lin Qiao saw this and her jaw dropped.
It was that long?
Looking at her own, which only fills a single page¡
Indeed,parison is the thief of joy.
The discipline director mmed his hand on the desk, ¡°What have I told you? Two days, Lin, all you gave me is this sheet of paper? Look at Su¡¯s stuff, do you believe that you¡¯ve done well?¡±
Lin Qiao kept her head down, her face turning beet red.
¡°Rewrite it! If it¡¯s not up to 3000 words, don¡¯t even think about earning credits this semester! Did you hear this clearly?¡±
¡°Teacher, I was wrong, I will rewrite it immediately when I get home.¡± Replied Lin Qiao, sucking up her pride, while brewing extreme resentment on the inside.
Writing a reflection letter is generally just a formality, with a bit of sincerity, it should pass, who knew that Su Wanwan would take it so seriously?!
¡°Leave now.¡±
Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave¡
¡°Miss Su, please stay.¡± The director¡¯s voice suddenly bellowed.
Lin Qiao gave her a re, hastily left the room, gritting her teeth.
Once the door was shut, the director sat back in his chair, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, then leisurely said, ¡°I¡¯ve already discussed your situation with Professor Su.¡±
Su Wanwan was somewhat stunned.
Her situation?
What about her situation?
¡°Every year, Huo Yuan Group donates teaching funds to our school, and at school celebrations or major events, we would invite a representative from Huo Yuan Group. Mr. Huo has been very gracious to our school. Principal Chu and the Huo Family have always been on good terms. Don¡¯t worry, since you¡¯re the eldest daughter-inw of the Huo Family, Mr. Huo need not worry about your school affairs¡¡±
h, h, h. He went on and on.
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan looked at the four pages of the reflection letter.
Turns out, it was because of her status in the Huo Family that she was treated exceptionally.
So did Huo Jingshen write those over three-thousand words in vain?
*
*
10 minutester, Su Wanwan left the discipline office.
She took out her cell phone, and while walking, she texted Huo Jingshen on WeChat, ¡°Thank you, dear. The reflection letter was sessfully submitted!¡±
Amazingly, despite being the CEO, Huo Jingshen replied instantly.
Though it was a simple smiley emoji.
Looking at the emoji, Su Wanwan felt a shiver!
Immediately, Huo Jingshen sent a second text: ¡°How does my baby n to thank me?¡±
Su Wanwan:
The question seemed quite serious on the surface, but paired with that smiley emoji, it seemed suggestive no matter how she looked at it!
Just as she was thinking about how to reply¡
¡°Su Wanwan!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelid twitched.
She put down her phone, not sparing a nce and was about to step into the elevator.
¡°Su Wanwan! Stop right there!¡±
Lin Qiao ran forward, effectively blocking her path.
Su Wanwan looked at her impatiently, ¡°Are you trying to start a fight again?¡±
At this remark, Lin Qiao¡¯s face stiffened.
Then she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Su Wanwan, don¡¯t becent too soon. Just wait, there wille a day when everyone sees your true color!¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and pinched her own earlobe, ¡°Are you annoying or what? Shouting and screaming in front of me every day¡ can youe up with something new? Are you a broken record?¡±
She was close to developing calluses in her ears from listening to her!
¡°That¡¯s because of your indecent behavior! You¡¯re hanging out with rich old men, always trying to seduce Shuhao¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Lin Qiao was startled and quickly stepped back.
Su Wanwan nearly broke intoughter.
This coward¡
She said coldly, ¡°Even if I wasn¡¯t married, I wouldn¡¯t give a damn about that second-hand good, Jian Shuhao! If you like him, go win him back yourself, and dare to babble in front of me, watch out because I might beat you up again!¡± ¡°You¡¯re married?¡± Lin Qiao was very surprised, but quickly began to scold her again, ¡°You¡¯re still fooling around outside even after getting married, shameless! Bleh!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s face darkened, but before she could speak¡
Lin Qiao, ¡°You dare to hit me, there are cameras here!¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She looked up.
This was the teachers¡¯ office building, and indeed camera surveince was quite dense, there was even one right above her head.
¡°Scared now?¡± Lin Qiao¡¯s proud voice echoed, ¡°Don¡¯t think just because your aunt is a professor you can always be so lucky, if you dare to hit me and it gets caught on camera, I will make you pay!¡±
Looking at her smug expression of triumph, Su Wanwan suddenly smiled, ¡°I have made up my mind.¡±
Lin Qiao was stunned.
Made up her mind about what?
¡°I¡¯ve decided to join Jian Shuhao¡¯s E-sports club.¡± In the midst of Lin Qiao¡¯s changing expression, Su Wanwan continued to smile, ¡°Are you angry now?¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Lin Qiao was about to go mad with anger, she couldn¡¯t even make a sound now.
How could there be such a shameless woman?
Joining the E-sports club, doesn¡¯t that mean ying games with Jian Shuhao every weekend?
And having team-building activities together?
Participating in events together?
With a ¡®ding¡¯, the elevator doors opened.
Su Wanwan walked inside, waving at Lin Qiao with a sweet smile, ¡°Bye-bye!¡±
The elevator doors quickly closed.
Lin Qiao was left there, the jealousy and anger almost driving her crazy..

¡°Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo?¡±
Huo Jingshen, seated at the head of the conference table, held his phone in his distinctively slender and articted fingers, seemingly frozen in ce.
Ji Jie coughed twice, then stood up and walked over, ¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
Huo Jingshen put his phone down.
His face was distinctly calm, as if it was someone else who had be distracted during the meeting.
¡°Mr. Huo, do you have any thoughts about the n for the uing event?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyelid slightly, his response seemingly unrted to the question, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Xiuhuang here today?¡±
¡°Chu has an important date today.¡± Shi Huan adjusted his sses, maintaining
hisposure.
There was a small curl on Huo Jingshen¡¯s lips.
The old Chu really was¡
Untouchable.
¡°If Mr. Huo has any opinions regarding the n, today might be a good chance to discuss with Bingo¡¯s representative directly, since it¡¯s our partner¡¯s first time
joining us.¡±
Upon hearing that, the otherpany representatives at the meeting made discreet smiles.
Qiao Zixin, seated at the back, lifted her head and stuck out her chest.
Unfortunately, Huo Jingshen only nodded slightly, not even meeting her eyes.
He said, ¡°Shi, your decision will be enough. Once we coborate with
Huangyou, you can control the details.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
*
*
After the meeting, Mr. Zhou, the representative from Bingo, enthusiastically suggested, ¡°It¡¯s almost noon, would Mr. Huo care to join us for lunch¡
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have other important matters to attend to. Ji Jie, can you entertain
Mr. Zhou and Secretary Shi for me?¡±
¡°Sure, Mr. Huo.¡±
Although Mr. Zhou was disappointed, he quickly turned to Shi Huan, ¡°Secretary
Shi, since Mr. Huo can¡¯t make it, shall we¡¡±
¡°Sorry, I also have important matters.¡±
Having said that, Shi Huan turned to his subordinates, ¡°Xiaoliu, send a notice out that I¡¯m going back to the office this afternoon for a meeting with the top management at 2pm. Have everyone prepare their speeches. The tax inspectors areing at 3 o¡¯clock. Ask the finance department to check the reporting documents. Xiaozhang, you will handle tonight¡¯s dinner with Mr. Xu from Dunhuang and Kuangshi. Oh, and also send me a copy of the meeting notes for me to summarise on my way back and send to Chu.
Zhou was quick to ask, ¡°Secretary Shi, didn¡¯t you say Chu went on a date?¡±
Shi Huan nodded, ¡°Chu prefers to work during his dates.¡±
Mr. Zhou:¡±¡¡±
As they spoke, Shi Huan had already packed up his things, ¡°Xiaoliu, Xiaozhang,
let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Alright, Secretary Shi.¡±
The three of them rushed off.
In theer, Shen Bingbing clicked her tongue, ¡°I thought I wasmitted, but Secretary Shi seems even more intense than I am, almost like he¡¯s working himself to death. Zixin, Zixin?¡±
Qiao Zixin quickly came to her senses, ¡°Huh?¡±
-Why do you seem so out of it?¡± Shen Bingbing looked at the doorway and couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Is it because Mr. Huo is too handsome that he¡¯s stolen your soul?¡±
¡°Stop talking nonsense, he¡¯s my sister¡¯s husband.
¡°Oh?¡± Shen Bingbing paused, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you mention that earlier?¡±
¡°Well, you didn¡¯t ask.¡±
¡°¡¡± Shen Bingbing looked at her and suddenly asked, ¡°Did you ask me to bring you here because of him?¡±
¡°No, stop making things up.¡±
Shen Bingbing couldn¡¯t help butugh.
After working in the industry for so many years, she¡¯s seen all sorts of rtionships between men and women. It¡¯s given her a piercing insight.
From the moment she arrived at Huo¡¯spany, Qiao Zixin¡¯s eyes hadn¡¯t left Huo Jingshen¡¯s face!
An older sister interested in her younger sister¡¯s husband?
Interesting.
She deliberately said, ¡°Actually, men like Mr. Huo usually have a lot on their te at home and also love to y outside. If you¡¯re really interested in him, there will be plenty of opportunities to get closer. So how about this, a littleter at lunch, I¡¯ll mention you to Mr. Zhou and have you join me in managing this event.¡±
As expected, Qiao Zixin¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Really? But today is only my first day at work.¡±
Originally, because she quit her job suddenly, the magazine wasn¡¯t willing to let her go. Even if she had to leave, she had to at least work a month in transition.
But upon hearing that Bingo and Huangyou were meeting at Huo¡¯spany today, she couldn¡¯t think of anything else. After forcing her editor to approve her resignation yesterday, she reported for work at Bingo today.
Shen Bingbing, the main nner of the event, can justify bringing a neer from her department to gain experience.
¡°Of course.¡± Shen Bingbing said, ¡°Although you weren¡¯t in this field before, writing news and writing copy are pretty simr. As an old ssmate, I have faith in your abilities.¡±
Qiao Zixin was excited, ¡°Then send me all the materials when we get back so I can familiarize myself with it quickly.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Everyone chatted andughed as they left the conference room.
Reaching the underground parking garage shortly after exiting the elevator, they saw a ck car slowly driving by.
¡°Wow, rich, handsome, tall, even his driving style looks attractive.¡± Shen Bingbing said exaggeratedly.
Qiao Zixin watched dreamily as Mr. Zhou¡¯s voice reached her ears, ¡°Mr. Huo is already taken. Didn¡¯t you see that he was looking at his phone all through the meeting earlier? He must have been reading messages from his wife.
¡°Mr. Zhou, isn¡¯t that a bit presumptuous?¡± Shen Bingbing flicked a flirtatious nce at him, ¡°Could it be¡ the message was from a mistress?¡±
Mr. Zhou: ¡°¡¡±
He cleared his throat, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get into the car and go eat. I¡¯m starving.¡±
*
*
In the quiet reading room, Su Wanwan took a seat and flipped open an entertainment magazine, promptly sneezing.
¡°Achoo!¡±
The sneeze was rather loud, catching the attention of two or three students around her.
Su Wanwan was embarrassed.
Who was talking behind her back?
Chapter 212: 212, Class Monitor Fu Ziyang
Chapter 212: ss Monitor Fu Ziyang
Trantor: 549690339
There was a cough, followed by the sudden abrasive ringtone of a cell phone.
Forgot to mute the ringer¡
This attracted even more nces from her ssmates.
Su WanWan hastily answered the call, whispering, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Come out.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± She nces towards the door of the reading room.
No one¡
Seeming to have irvoyance, the man over the phone said in a deep voice, ¡°Come to the school gate.¡±
¡°What are you nning to do?¡± Su WanWan was bewildered.
Had this guy reallye to find her at school in the middle of the day?
Remembering the message she¡¯d sent earlier, Su WanWan became defensive, hurriedly saying, ¡°I¡¯m in the reading room studying, will have lunchter, after eating I have to discuss a program with ssmates, and after that I need to head to a club meeting.¡±
¡°¡you¡¯re that busy?¡±
¡°Yeah, yep.¡±
Huo JingShen casually said, ¡°Busier than your overworked husband?¡±
Su WanWan:
That¡¯s not the case!
¡°Come out.¡± Huo JingShen, tired of prolonging the conversation, advised, ¡°Apany your husband to a parent-teacher meeting.¡±
**
Ten minutester, Su WanWan got into the car.
Seeing him dressed in a full suit, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is it okay if I¡¯m dressed like this?¡±
Huo JingShen nced at her and started the car, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
Su WanWan felt like he was just brushing her off.
She took out a makeup mirror and lipstick from her bag, fixating her makeup and saying, ¡°It¡¯s my first time at a parent-teacher meeting. Can¡¯t embarrass Ziyang.¡±
Huo JingShen:
Once they arrived at the school, Su WanWan followed Huo JingShen into the meeting ssroom.
As soon as they sat down, she lowered her voice and said furiously, ¡°This is all your fault! You didn¡¯t let me go home and change into something nice. Look at other people¡¯s mothers! I¡¯m so annoyed!¡±
Huo JingShen again:
Wellington Primary School is the most prestigious and aristocratic school in Nancheng. The children who attend here are usually either rich or noble, and many of the mothers are very stylish and beautiful. Not only is their makeup exquisite, but they also dress up quite elegantly, they either wear designer brands or privately tailored clothes, and there are even some wearing cheongsams.
Then look at herself¡
Su WanWan was pissed.
She wore distressed jeans and white sneakers with a white tank top and a ck and white checkered shirt over it, also donning a very amusing bun hairstyle. She was the epitome of casual.
Considering this, she took off her hairband and let her hair down.
At least this would make her seem a little more mature, right?
¡°You care so much?¡± Huo JingShen looked at the bustle of the young girl and couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly, ¡°If you care so much about your son¡¯s image, if you really be a mother in the future, will you ¡¡±
¡°Who¡¯s bing a mother?¡± Su WanWan interrupted him, her cheeks growing warm.
¡°If you treat Ziyang well now, you will have experience for when you treat our son in the future¡¡±
¡°Who¡¯s going to have your son?¡± Su WanWan intercepted him again, her cheeks growing even hotter.
¡°Having a daughter is also okay.¡± Huo JingShen said calmly, ¡°But she needs to be gentle and quiet, unlike you¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with being like me?¡± Su WanWan finally exploded!
¡°Nothing.¡± Huo JingShen still had that casual tone, ¡°I quite like it when you¡¯re like this, darling.¡±
Su WanWan:
What the hell!?
Hitting cotton, and sugar-coated cotton at that¡
She pursed her lips, barely suppressing her rising smile.
Really now.
Confessing at the drop of a hat, unaware of time and ce.
¡°What program were you talking about just now?¡± Huo JingShen suddenly asked again.
¡°Oh.¡± Su WanWan said, ¡°The school is organizing a wee party and each department needs to present two items. As a freshman, I must participate.¡± ¡°What¡¯s your program?¡±
Su WanWan didn¡¯t think too much and reported honestly, ¡°It¡¯s not clear yet, we have set several skits, we¡¯ll discuss and decide in the afternoon.¡±
Huo JingShen nodded his head.
Understood.
Since his wife will be participating, it seems that this time he should attend this party as Huo Yuan¡¯s representative.
Soon, the pupils, dressed in tidy school uniforms, queued up and entered the ssroom.
The second they walked through the door they all ran around like released bulls, each finding their own mother¡
When Fu Ziyang came and sat down beside her, Su WanWan patted his little head, couldn¡¯t resist eximing, ¡°Our Ziyang is so ssy!¡±
The other little boys, either too thin or too chubby, their school uniforms all twisted, their posture not good, and they were all scratching their heads and chattering, couldn¡¯t sit still even when they were sitting next to their parents.
Not like Fu Ziyang, although he¡¯s only five years old, he had a serious expression on his little face, which added to his calm and rxed demeanor that aren¡¯t of his age. Along with his delicate facial features, he was both handsome and cute, clearly standing out from the crowd.
¡°Ziyang, does your ss have a ss grass? Who is it?¡±
She wanted to see who the ss grass was.
Definitely not as handsome as Fu Ziyang!
Fu Ziyang pressed his small mouth together and very calmly said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡±
Su WanWan:
Huo JingShen:
¡°Okay, everyone, quiet down.¡± The teacher¡¯s voice rang through the room.
Su WanWan lifted her head and the ssroom fell silent.
¡°Dear parents, good afternoon. Today is our Wellington Primary School first grade¡¯s first parent-teacher meeting, I see a lot of you parents rushed here from work, thank you for your hard work.¡±
The apuse resonated.
¡°Actually, we called everyone here today mainly to discuss this semester¡¯s teaching n. As you all know, we at Wellington focus not only on academic achievements but also on fostering children¡¯s hobbies and¡¡±
¡°Sorry, sorry, I¡¯mte.¡± A crisp female voice suddenly rang out..

Everyone¡¯s gaze shifted toward the doorway.
¡°Huanhuan, over here.¡± A pretty little girl stood up near Huo Jingshen¡¯s seat.
Shi Huan nodded apologetically at others and hurried into the ssroom.
As she got near, she looked up and saw Huo Jingshen sitting there.
Even though she was wearing thick-rimmed sses and her ck hair mostly covered her face, Su Wanwan still noticed her momentarily stunned expression.
Once Shi Huan took a seat next to the little girl, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Do you know her?¡±
After his deep, dark eyes lingered on the two contrasting faces for a moment, Huo Jingshen withdrew his gaze, his tone usual, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s Xiuhuang¡¯s secretary.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s secretary?
Unable to stop herself, Su Wanwan took a closer look.
She was wearingrge ck-rimmed sses, her shoulder-length hair was unstyled, and her face was mostly obscured by her sses and hair, revealing only her fair forehead and a small part of her face.
She was dressed in a simple ck suit that didn¡¯t reveal any of her figure.
She seemed to be in her early twenties and must be quite pretty, so why did she dress herself like this?
She had always thought that secretaries were all pretty with long, beautiful legs and dressed in various seductive uniforms ¨C especially when the boss was Chu Xiuhuang, who was always surrounded by different girls whenever she saw him¡
Perhaps because Su Wanwan had been watching her, Shi Huan finally noticed and looked back at her.
Quickly, Su Wanwan smiled at her.
Looking a bit perplexed, Shi Huan nodded slightly, then quickly looked away.
¡°Huanhuan.¡± The soft, mellow sound of the little girl¡¯s voice floated up, ¡°Why are youte again?¡±
¡°Sorry Luoluo, my car was restricted today, so I had to take a taxi. I¡¯ll take you to Pizza Hutter, okay?¡±
¡°Alright, then I forgive you.¡± The little girl spoke, then smiled sweetly.
She was dressed in the school¡¯s uniform and had hair about as long as Shi Huan¡¯s. Her porcin-white face featured a pair of beautiful, big ck eyes. When she smiled, adorable dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Watching her, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but lean over to Fu Ziyang, ¡°Ziyang, this little girl in your ss is so cute, is she your desk mate?¡±
Fu Ziyang, with his little chubby face, responded, ¡°Aunt Wanwan, she¡¯s not my desk mate.¡±
¡°So, who is your desk mate? You sit next to each other, I thought you were desk mates.¡±
Fu Ziyang extended a little finger and pointed to his left.
Su Wanwan looked over.
Uh, it seemed to be the chubby little girl she had run into at the school gatest time, the one with two pigtails and a lollipop in her mouth.
She said with augh, ¡°This one¡¯s cute too.¡±
Fu Ziyang nodded his little head nonchntly, ¡°She¡¯s just a bit fat.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Sweetheart, do you have to be so blunt?
To say she¡¯s fat to her face!
He¡¯s a true straight shooter.
Because they sat so close to each other, and because the chubby girl kept looking back in their direction, she heard that remark. Instantly, she sulked, her chubby head buried into her mother¡¯sp, ¡°Mom, Fu Ziyang said I¡¯m fat Wuu Wuu Wuu!¡±
She actually started crying!
Frightened, Su Wanwan quickly tried to soothe her, ¡°Don¡¯t cry, little sister. Ziyang meant to say you are cute! Ziyang, quicklyfort your sister.¡±
Fu Ziyang, face emotionless, replied: ¡°She¡¯s older than me.¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°Wuu Wuu Wuu!¡± The chubby girl suddenly cried even louder, ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t like Fu Ziyang anymore Wuu Wuu Wuu!¡± The chubby girl¡¯s mother, dripping in extravagant jewelry and a bit chubby herself, looked at her sternly, ¡°Mrs. Ziyang, every time we get home after school, Xiaoyuan always talks about how smart, pretty, and studious your Ziyang is, so why is he being so impolite now? Mrs. Ziyang, this is¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Su Wanwan interrupted awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m not his mother¡¡±
¡°What?¡± The woman was surprised, her eyes quickly darting to Huo Jingshen.
In her eyes, Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang looked so alike, naturally, she assumed they were father and son.
But this young and beautiful girl was not Fu Ziyang¡¯s mother? Then that meant¡
Stepmother!
The woman¡¯s originally angry face suddenly changed to one of disgust. She looked at Fu Ziyang again, now with sympathy.
Then she leaned down and whispered into her daughter¡¯s ear, ¡°Xiaoyuan, do you know? This sister is not Fu Ziyang¡¯s mother. She should be his stepmother, so you shouldn¡¯t be angry with him. Isn¡¯t he poor?¡±
The chubby girl sniffed and turned her head to look at Fu Ziyang.
She had seen TV dramas before where stepmothers would bully children.
No wonder Fu Ziyang was always so quiet and cold towards her. He really was pitiful¡
¡°Okay, everyone quiet down.¡± The teacher¡¯s voice rang out again.
The ssroom returned to its quiet state.
After the lengthy speech, the teacher handed out a form. Each student had to select two interest sses as minor courses throughout their primary school career.
Looking at the form, Su Wanwan found it bewildering ¨C there were piano, violin, painting, Go, calligraphy¡among others.
In the end, Fu Ziyang chose violin and taekwondo.
The little guy was very decisive and didn¡¯t need any intervention from the two adults. Su Wanwan didn¡¯t even know why she came; she just ended up sitting an entire parent meeting for an hour.
Most of the other kids were apanied by their mothers, or grandparents. Only she and Huo Jingshen were a pair.
Especially since Huo Jingshen was dressed in a suit, he was definitely the most eye-catching in the entire ssroom.
Her phone suddenly rang, and Su Wanwan took a nce at it before standing up, ¡°I need to take a call outside.¡±
¡°Who¡¯s calling?¡± Huo Jingshen asked.
¡°A certain uncle..¡±
Chapter 214: 214, is the baby jealous?
Chapter 214: is the baby jealous?
Trantor: 549690339
The call was from Zhou Teng. As soon as it connected, he asked, ¡°Miss, can youe to the hospital to see the old man?¡±
Su Wanwan bit her lip, ¡°What happened to him?¡±
¡°Ever since the old man woke up this time, he hasn¡¯t been in good spirits. I just found out that so much happened a few days ago.¡± Zhou Teng sighed, ¡°Miss, you know him best. He¡¯s been tormented after hitting you with his crutch. He¡¯s been talking about you non-stop these past few days¡¡±
¡°Uncle Zhou.¡± Su Wanwan interrupted him, ¡°Please take good care of him. I won¡¯t go to the hospital these days.¡±
¡°Miss, no matter how busy you are, you should find time to visit the old man. You¡¯ve been his favorite granddaughter all along. During the past few years while you¡¯ve been abroad, the old man would constantly ask me how you were doing in Los Angeles. He would send you things all the time. The old man is getting older and more tender-hearted. He was just too worried about Miss Two¡¯s child and also had to consider the feelings of the Xing Family. He didn¡¯t intend to falsely use you. You must not me him. That would be devastating for him.¡±
Su Wanwan tightly gripped her cell phone and after a long time, said simply, ¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Miss, don¡¯t me me. I¡¯ve been with the old man for so many years. I know that he does everything for your good. You will understand as time goes on.¡±
Su Wanwan had heard this kind of talk many times over the years ¨C and she had always believed it to be true.
In the Su Family, besides Su Xueqin, everyone else, no matter overtly or covertly, didn¡¯t see her in a good light.
If it wasn¡¯t for Su Xueqin¡¯s favoritism and love, she wouldn¡¯t have had such a smooth journey over the years.
But, ever since Su Xueqin chose to stand by Su Yanyan¡¯s side that day in the hospital room, even wanting to force her into submission¡ Su Wanwan felt that perhaps, the bonds of Su Family were more important than her position as a granddaughter, right?
She indeed shouldn¡¯t me Su Xueqin. The Xing Family elders and he had a longstanding friendship. Since it involved human lives, and all the evidence pointed to Su Yanyan¡¯s side¡
She said, ¡°I know.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a long sigh of relief, before turning around to head back to the ssroom.
However, as soon as she walked in, she saw a woman had taken her seat.
The woman was quite pretty. A yellow dress paired with a short white leather jacket, her deep red long curly hair added a charming and alluring aura about her. She rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes looking at Huo Jingshen with a smile.
The woman was full of enchantment!
Su Wanwan clenched her fingers and walked straight over.
Upon reaching close, she spoke.
¡°Husband.¡±
Huo Jingshen was originally looking down at a form. Hearing this voice, his brows jumped.
This little girl¡
The way she used her soft voice was beyond belief.
It was so sweet that it made his body feel weak.
The woman immediately looked up at her, then asked, ¡°Jingshen, is she your¡ wife?¡±
She heard from Ahuang that Huo Jingshen had a rushed marriage, but she had never seen the real face of Mrs. Huo. Who would have thought¡it would be such a green youngdy?
The youngdy curled the corner of her mouth, continue to use her sweet voice and said, ¡°Aunty, so you know my husband?¡±
Aunty?
The woman¡¯s face twitched and contorted.
Who was this young girl calling aunty?
¡°Sorry.¡±, Huo Jingshen spoke in his calm voice, ¡°My wife is still young and naive. Miss Chu, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
Su Wanwan red at him instantly.
Who were you calling naive?
Chu Jingyi curved her lips into a smile.
But the smile wasn¡¯t quite pleasant, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I won¡¯t stoop to a child¡¯s level.¡±
ck lines instantly formed on Su Wanwan¡¯s face.
Stabbing pain!
A child?
Was there a child as well-endowed as her?
She also curved her lips into a smile, saying insincerely, ¡°This aunty¡¡±
Her hand was suddenly grabbed by Huo Jingshen.
Turns out it was the teacher who hade over, ¡°Have you finished filling the form?¡±
¡°Ziyang, hand over the form to the teacher.¡± Huo Jingshen adopted a stern father¡¯s stance.
After the teacher collected the form and left, Chu Jingyi got up from the chair.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t notice until she stood up, Chu Jingyi was quite tall.
Even though she was wearing high-heeled shoes, she should be around 175 cm tall.
¡°Jingshen, I¡¯ll go back first. If there¡¯s a chance, we should invite Ahuang also and have a meal together.¡±
Huo Jingshen simply raised his eyebrow withoutmenting.
Chu Jingyi didn¡¯t say anything else either, she picked up the form and left.
It wasn¡¯t until her figure disappeared, that Shi Huan, who had been blocking her face with her hand on the side, finally put her hand down.
So tiring¡
Su Wanwan sat down in the seat that originally belonged to her.
Just that¡
The area was filled with the fragrance left by that woman.
She coughed twice, and deliberately said, ¡°What¡¯s this smell? It¡¯s suffocating. So disgusting.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at the young girl with a displeased face, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes, ¡°It seems to be the smell of vinegar.¡±
¡°Baby, are you jealous?¡±
As soon as Su Wanwan heard this, she blew up, ¡°Dammit, who is jealous? Shameless! Don¡¯t tter yourself!¡±
Huo Jingshen was unable to hold back his smile. He raised his eyebrow, both his expression and tone were pretty joyful, ¡°Why are you reacting so strongly? If you¡¯re jealous, then you¡¯re jealous. Your husband won¡¯tugh at you.¡±
After saying that, he raised his hand and gave a pinch on her puffed up cheeks.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Just as she was about to blow up again¡
¡°She¡¯s Xiuhuang¡¯s twin sister. Her son is in the adjacent ss¡¡±
¡°Even though she¡¯s married she still hits on other women¡¯s husbands!¡± Su Wanwan interrupts him angrily, ¡°She¡¯s not virtuous at all! Shameless!¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
Pretty rhyming huh?

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Just like her brother, all of them are showy peacocks, fluttering butterflies, fickle radishes!¡±
Huo Jingshen again:
He originally wanted to say that Chu Jingyi was already divorced from her husband, but looking at the little girl¡¯s reaction¡
Forget it.
He better not say anything.
Better to avoid more trouble.
*
*
After collecting the forms, the teacher exchanged a few pleasantries, and thus, the parent-teacher meeting ended.
Su Wanwan looked at the time, ¡°Ziyang, what do you want for lunch? KFC or McDonald¡¯s?¡±
Kids usually like this kind of fast food, right?
Who knew Fu Ziyang would purse his lips, ¡°Pizza Hut.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Well, perfectly avoided her suggestion.
As a result, the trio walked into the restaurant and saw the mother-daughter duo.
¡°Fu Ziyang!¡± The little girl sweetly greeted, ¡°Are you alsoing here for lunch?¡±
Fu Ziyang nodded his small head, as aloof as ever.
Su Wanwan felt worried. This little guy was too indifferent to girls! How would he find a wife in the future?
Huo Jingshen squinted to find a seat.
He was too tall and dressed in an expensive-looking ck suit, immacte from head to toe, which made him stand out in the messy environment.
Especially his serious expression as he scanned the restaurant, looked as if a king inspecting his territory, only¡
So awkward!
No seats!
This kind of fast-food restaurant is always full of customers, especially at noon, it¡¯s downright crowded.
After looking for a while, he unbuttoned his suit, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he looked a bit impatient.
Su Wanwan was about to ask if they wanted to change the restaurant¡
¡°President Huo.¡± Shi Huan¡¯s voice sounded. She tidied up the table and then said, ¡°If you don¡¯t mind,e and sit here. We are about to finish.¡±
¡°We don¡¯t mind, we don¡¯t mind.¡± Su Wanwan quickly pulled Fu Ziyang to sit down, letting the little guy sit next to the little girl.
Wow, both little ones were wearing school uniforms, and with their stunning looks, sitting together, they looked irresistibly cute.
One cold, one sweet, one cool, and one lovely¡ For some reason, she thought of Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi.
This pair with such contrasting personalities, the more she looked, the more they seemed to match.
Huo Jingshen nced at them, ¡°I¡¯m going to order the food.¡±
After the tall and cold man left, at the dining table, two adults and two children, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Fu Ziyang was naturally reticent, Shi Huan did not speak either, and the little girl was seriously eating her pasta¡
Su Wanwan had to find a topic first, ¡°Little sister, what¡¯s your name?¡±
The little girl looked at her and answered in a soft and tender voice, ¡°Hello sister, my name is Shi Luoluo.¡±
¡°Luoluo, you are so cute, do you have a little boyfriend?¡±
Shi Luoluo looked at her, blinking her big eyes.
What¡¯s a little boyfriend?
Shi Huan, at her side, coughed softly, not expecting that President Huo¡¯s wife was so outgoing, her words were quite surprising.
¡°You don¡¯t have one? What do you think of my Ziyang?¡± Su Wanwan winked teasingly.
Fu Ziyang across from her was quietly looking at her, not saying a word.
Shi Luoluo didn¡¯t understand, nced at Fu Ziyang, then continued to focus on her pasta.
Su Wanwan:
Uh.
For heaven¡¯s sake, are they all this aloof?
Actually, she was not a chatterbox either¡
Fortunately, Huo Jingshen came back soon. The space at a table for four was obviously not enough for five. Shi Huan immediately said, ¡°Luoluo, have you finished eating? We are going back to continue sses.¡±
Shi Luoluo wiped her small mouth and slid off the chair.
¡°Goodbye, Fu Ziyang. Goodbye, sister.¡±
Then, she looked at the tall Huo Jingshen, tilted her little head, thought for a moment, wiggled her little hand sweetly and said, ¡°Goodbye, uncle.¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Huo Jingshen:
¡°President Huo, Mrs. Huo, we¡¯ll go first. Enjoy your meal.¡± After Shi Huan finished speaking, she quickly left with the child.
As soon as Huo Jingshen sat down next to her, Su Wanwan whispered, ¡°Uncle? Hahaha¡¡±
Huo Jingshen red at her ntingly, ¡°I don¡¯t have such a big niece.¡±
¡°I¡¯m big?¡± Su Wanwan grinded her teeth, ¡°Can I be older than you?¡±
A thirty-year-old old man, so old yet still can¡¯t stand being teased? Really!
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, suddenly leaned down, and whispered something in her ear.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She instantly understood!
She gripped her little hand and hurriedly looked at Fu Ziyang.
Fortunately, the little guy was sitting across from her, some distance away. He probably didn¡¯t hear.
¡°Shameless!¡± Su Wanwan red at Huo Jingshen fiercely.
However, the scoundrel Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow and leaned towards her again.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened as she tried to avoid him, but her wrist was quickly grasped¡
Then, in the bustling restaurant, the mature and handsome man whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
Su Wanwan:
Help!
Someone is acting indecently!

Wellington Primary School.
Outside the first-grade ssroom.
After watching Shi Luoluo enter and sit down, Shi Huan then turned and left.
Just as she reached the elevator entrance¡
¡°Shi Huan?¡±
Chapter 216: 216, you are the pig.
Chapter 216: you are the pig.
Trantor: 549690339 |
Shi Huan froze.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground, step by step, as if hammering on her heart.
Chu Jingyi then stood in front of her, arms folded, slightly tilting her head, and with a coquettish and flirtatious look, she looked at the woman in front of her, ¡°It¡¯s really you.¡±
¡°Miss Chu.¡±
¡°Heh.¡± Chu Jingyiughed lightly, naturally adopting an air of superiority, ¡°When I first walked into the ssroom, I thought you looked familiar, but you didn¡¯t seem very eager to see me, so I didn¡¯t call out to you.¡±
Shi Huan didn¡¯t reply.
¡°I just returned to the country a few days ago, and never expected that after being away for so many years, everything¡¯s changed. Jingshen is now married. Even you, you even have a daughter now.¡± While saying so, Chu Jingyi looked Shi Huan up and down, ¡°however¡pared to before, you haven¡¯t changed at all.¡±
Just as old-fashioned, conservative, and dull as before.
She really couldn¡¯t understand why such a dull woman like water could stay by Ahuang¡¯s side for such a long time.
What was wrong with him?
A man who was so demanding and picky about his girlfriends could tolerate his personal secretary, why?
Didn¡¯t he feel embarrassed to take her out for business?
¡°Miss Chu,¡± Shi Huan nced at the time, ¡°I have to rush back to thepany. I¡¯ll have to leave first.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the rush?¡± Chu Jingyi spoke in anguid tone, ¡°Does Ahuang know about your daughter?¡±
Shi Huan looked up.
Behind her thick sses were a pair of clear and bright eyes. ¡°What does Miss Chu mean by that? What does my uncle¡¯s daughter have to do with Chu Shao? Does he need to know?¡±
Chu Jingyi raised her eyebrows, ¡°Your uncle¡¯s daughter?¡±
¡°My uncle and aunt have recently gone abroad, so I came to attend Luoluo¡¯s parent-teacher conference today instead of them.¡± As Shi Huan said, her expression didn¡¯t change.
However, with suchrge sses on, even if there was a change, it would be hard to tell.
Chu Jingyi narrowed her eyes, just about to speak, but then the elevator door opened with a ¡®ding.¡¯
Fu Ziyang stood inside, his big, dark eyes looking at the two women standing outside.
Then, he calmly stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the ssroom.
Chu Jingyi¡¯s eyes fell directly on the little figure.
If it hadn¡¯t been for Huo Jingshen¡¯s denial just now, she would have really thought this kid was his son, the expression and mannerisms were just too much alike¡
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first. If I¡¯mte, Chu Shao will deduct my sry. I beg your leave.¡± After Shi Huan finished speaking, she quickly stepped into the elevator.
It wasn¡¯t until the elevator door closed that Chu Jingyi slowly came back to her senses.
She raised her eyebrows and then, unable to hold back any longer, she took out her phone and dialed a number, ¡°Ahuang, where are you? I want to see you.¡±
**
When Fu Ziyang returned to the ssroom, just as he sat down¡
¡°Fu Ziyang!¡±
Yang Xiaoyuan stood with her small chubby hand ced on her hip,manded, ¡°You¡¯d better apologize to me right now, or else I¡¯ll ask the teacher to change my seat. I won¡¯t sit with you anymore!¡±
Fu Ziyang pursed his small mouth and said, ¡°Then you should ask the teacher to change your seat.¡±
Yang Xiaoyuan:¡± ¡±
The next second.
¡°Boohoohoo, teacher! Fu Ziyang is bullying me Boohoohoo!¡±
The teacher who just walked in, frowned at the sound of crying, then pointed randomly, ¡°Shi Luoluo, swap seats with Yang Xiaoyuan.¡±
Shi Luoluo¡¯s seat was just in front of Yang Xiaoyuan¡¯s, but when she heard the teacher¡¯s order, Yang Xiaoyuan¡¯s tears instantly got even worse.
Can the teacher just randomly change seats like that?
She was just upset and spoke without thinking!
¡°Yang Xiaoyuan, I¡¯ve changed your seat as requested. Why are you still crying? Be a good girl, or you won¡¯t receive any stars today.¡± The teacher tried both cajoling and scaring her, but Yang Xiaoyuan continued to cry.
Shi Luoluo immediately said, ¡°Yang Xiaoyuan, don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll swap seats with you right now.¡±
After saying this, she started to pack her things.
Yang Xiaoyuan tipped back her head, crying and making a fuss.
She felt misunderstood!
Jeez, it¡¯s heart-wrenching!
Fu Ziyang frowned, sighing inwardly.
Girls are really troublesome, all they know is how to cry!
Hopefully, Shi Luoluo won¡¯t be a crybaby like Yang Xiaoyuan¡

In the car.
Su Wanwan was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her face.
What a damned!
She suddenly opened her eyes, covering her cheek with her hand, ¡°Why did you pinch me? It hurts!¡±
Huo Jingshen smirked, ¡°Are you a pig? Sleeping right after you eat?¡±
She fell asleep like a pig as soon as she got in the car. If he hadn¡¯t pinched her, she probably would¡¯ve continued to sleep.
Su Wenwen grinded her teeth, ¡°You¡¯re the pig, your whole family is a pig!¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you part of my family?¡± Huo Jingshen yed coyly, ¡°Mrs. Huo, huh?¡±
As Mrs. Huo nced at him, she reached for the phone thrown on the front seat of the car.
Upon unlocking the screen, she saw several missed calls.
From Zhao Qianqian and Lin Qiao¡
¡°What a bloody hell! ¡± Su Wanwan was so annoyed, ¡°When did you put my phone into silent mode?¡±
¡°Would you be able to sleep like a pig if it wasn¡¯t on silent?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
With a nce at him, toozy to waste more words, she immediately made moves to get out of the car, ¡°We¡¯re gathering in ten minutes. If I¡¯mte, those little bitches would be causing me trouble again.¡±
Just as she pushed open the car door, her hand was grabbed.
¡°What are you up to now?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at the bristling girl, his eyes narrowed, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to get into a fight, got it?¡±
¡°¡Ok.¡±
No fighting, but arguing should be okay, right?
Su Wanwan was nning her next moves in her mind.
Chapter 217: 217, come on, let’s hurt each other.
Chapter 217:e on, let¡¯s hurt each other.
Trantor: 549690339 |
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and finally let go of his grip.
¡°Oh, right.¡±
Su Wanwan suddenly coughed a couple of times, hinting, ¡°I will be practicing a show these next couple of days so I won¡¯t be home.¡±
The originally mild expression on Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face immediately darkened, ¡°How many days?¡±
¡°Not much, just one week,¡± she replied.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s face darkened even more: ¡°One week isn¡¯t a long time?¡±
Is one week a long time?
Su Wanwan blinked innocently.
She looked innocent and naive.
¡°One week means you will leave your husband alone for a week.¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°Can we not talk about everything in that context? Can we have a normal conversation?¡±
¡°Your husband is a normal man, it¡¯s natural for him to desire romance,¡± he argued.
What nonsense!
Su Wanwan pouted, ¡°Anyway, I won¡¯t be home these few days. Call me if you need anything.¡±
¡°Your husband¡¯s birthday is on the 20th.¡± Huo Jingshen reminded her, yet¡ ¡°Didn¡¯t I already give you a birthday gift? You¡¯re so greedy! Listen, I am broke already. Unless you give me another 2000¡no, 5000 bucks!¡±
Saying so, she extended her small hand in front of him.
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
This girl is digging her hand into the money jar, isn¡¯t she?
He narrowed his eyes, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer it to youter.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Su Wanwan was slightly surprised, hastily added, ¡°5000 bucks, remember your promise.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°Thankyou Husband!¡±
Su Wanwan beamed.
At her ¡°Dear Husband¡± call, Huo Jingshen was very pleased, ¡°Okay, go now.¡± ¡°Goodbye, dear husband! Remember to transfer the money to me!¡± Having finished, Su Wanwan got off the car, practically hopping and skipping as she entered the university gate.
Watching her back, Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t help butugh softly before driving off.
Not muchter, his phone that was on the dashboard suddenly lit up.
He nced at the caller ID, then picked up, wearing his earphones, ¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Big Bro, I heard you sawmy sister just now. How did it feel?¡±
¡°Felt nothing.¡±
¡°Howcan meeting an old lover not evoke feelings?¡±
¡°Are you itching for a beating?¡±
Chu Xiuhuangughed on the other end of the call, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you going off to the United Kingdom and she to Australia, who knows, I might have been holding a grandnephew right now.¡±
¡°You do have a grandnephew.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t my sister tell you? That kid was adopted by her and her husband.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°You¡¯re so indifferent.¡± Chu Xiuhuang clucked, ¡°So heartless. Now that you have a twenty-year-old girl, you¡¯ve forgotten your childhood sweetheart. Howe I heard that my sister used to visit you quite often in Ennd? Weren¡¯t there any sparks?¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled, ¡°I also heard you¡¯ve been on blind dates recently?¡± Alright, bring on the mutual insults.
As expected, Chu Xiuhuang started cussing, ¡°Damn, the old man has been trying to hook me uptely. He¡¯s been pushing women¡¯s profiles to my secretary all day. All of them are pretentious, female PhDs or female graduate students. They aren¡¯t even as pretty as the girls on TikTok¡¡±
Suddenly.
¡°What is TikTok?¡±
Huo Jingshen has heard his wife mention it more than once.
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned for a moment, then¡
¡°Pfftt, hahaha!¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s face darkened immediately, ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t, Big bro, I won¡¯tugh anymore, okay? Come out tonight for a get- together. I¡¯ll get Xiao San to exin TikTok to you in detail. You can¡¯t refuse, okay? When was thest time you had a drink with your bros?¡±
Remembering Su Wanwan¡¯s earlier statement about practicing for a show these few days, Huo Jingshen raised his brows and agreed, ¡°Alright.¡±
*

Nancheng University.
Su Wanwan hurried to the designated ssroom, which was already filled with people.
¡°You finally came.¡± Lin Qiao rebuked sarcastically, ¡°Everyone is here and we¡¯ve just been waiting for you, Su Wanwan. Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡±
Su Wanwan nced at the time, ¡°I arrived at the agreed time.¡±
It was 1:30 in the afternoon, right on time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qjao raised her voice, ¡°This ssroom is to be used at two o¡¯clock. So we all came half an hour earlier. We called you at one o¡¯clock, but you didn¡¯t pickup. You show up half an hourte and yet stillin?¡±
Su Wanwan nced at her, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t realize I had put my phone on silent. And, I wasn¡¯t aware that the ssroom was to be used.¡±
¡°That¡¯s clearly just an excuse!¡±
¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhao Qjanqian jumped in to mediate, ¡°Everyone has their issues. Since Su Wanwan is here now, let¡¯s discuss the show.¡±
¡°Next time be more active. If you didn¡¯t want to participate, you should¡¯ve said so earlier. Since you decided to join, please pay attention to the time!¡± Lin Qiao adamantly argued.
Su Wanwan smiled slightly, ¡°I did not want to participate, but Zhao Qianqian insisted that I must. Given that, may I ask the literaturemittee if I could withdraw now?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Lin Qiao said with a triumphant look, ¡°The show was already decided on earlier. Our ss will present two acts. And since you are a neer, you will present a solo act.¡±
A solo act?
Su Wanwan frowned immediately, ¡°Did you do this on purpose?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯te here earlier. The ss teacher kept hurrying us, we called you but you didn¡¯t pick up, so I just submitted it.¡±
Lin Qiao¡¯s smile grew even wider.
You think you¡¯re so capable, Su Wanwan?
Well then, go up there and perform your solo act!
A person with absolutely no talent, I really want to see what you can perform!
Chapter 218: 218, Development of Allies
Chapter 218: Development of Allies
Trantor: 549690339 |
Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you should perform the number that you¡¯ve registered for. I won¡¯t do it.¡±
¡°Su Wanwan, what do you mean?¡± Lin Qiao was angry, ¡°Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?¡±
¡°Who¡¯s making who¡¯s life difficult?¡± Su Wanwan sneered, ¡°You signed me up for a solo act without my permission, did you?¡±
¡°I had no choice, you wouldn¡¯t pick up your phone.¡±
¡°That¡¯s no excuse for you to decide on your own.¡±
¡°It¡¯s toote to change now, the show has already been scheduled. Like it or not, you have to perform.¡±
Seeing her like this, Su Wanwan straightforwardly retorted, ¡°I will not perform!¡±
Lin Qiao pounded the table, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Can¡¯t you just cooperate with our ss activities?¡±
Zhao Qianqian quickly tried to mediate, ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not fight. We¡¯re all from the same ss¡¡±
Lin Qiao said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to fight either, but as you saw, she¡¯s not answering the phone. Now she ims that she doesn¡¯t want to participate! Does she think she¡¯s some princess? The whole school already submitted the program list this morning. To amodate her, I submitted our application at the veryst minute, and even got scolded by the teacher for not being able to handle even this simple task properly.¡±
Having said that, she lowered her head and started to choke up.
¡°Lin Qiao, did you graduate from the Acting Academy?¡± Su Wanwan stood there feeling thunderstruck, ¡°You¡¯re so dramatic, why didn¡¯t you sign up to perform?¡±
Her mood swung faster than flipping through a book.
Who would¡¯ve thought¡
¡°Su Wanwan, why can¡¯t you just help Lin Qiao with her duties?¡± A female student suddenly spoke up.
¡°Exactly, she¡¯s trying to help our ss.¡±
¡°As a new student, isn¡¯t it good for you to have a chance to perform?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be a bully¡¡±
Su Wanwan swiftly turned around and locked her gaze onto the female student who just spoke, ¡°Which fucking eye of yours saw me bullying her?¡±
The female student blushed, ¡°How¡ how could you swear at someone like that?¡±
Repeating their unsubstantiated im of bullying, Su Wanwan swept her eyes over them, conveying an unexinable coldness. ¡°Are you afraid you¡¯ve taken some advantage from her? Are you all speaking up for her?¡±
The faces of the female students became guilty in an instant.
They had indeed been treated to snacks by Lin Qiao before, and privately promised to help persuade Su Wanwan to perform the solo act.
After all, Lin Qiao was the artistic director,pared to Su Wanwan, who had just transferred to their school. It was natural for them to feel obligated to help after receiving treats.
But Su Wanwan had just voiced their intentions so bluntly, as if they were greedily taking advantage of the situation.
At this moment, Lin Qiao spoke again. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Su Wanwan isn¡¯t bullying me. It¡¯s my fault for not being able to handle this. I originally intended to have both group and solo performances exhibited by our ss in the hope of getting a good ranking. But then¡ ¡±
As she finished her self-deprecating speech, all the girls clustered around and began to console her.
¡°Qiao Qiao, don¡¯t me yourself.¡±
¡°Exactly, you¡¯re doing great!¡±
¡°You¡¯re just looking out for our ss.¡±
¡°We see your efforts clearly.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cry¡¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, feeling as if she¡¯d stepped in dog shit!
Dealing with this wench was a constant source of drama and irritation.
¡°Su Wanwan.¡± Zhao Qianqian also came to mediate, ¡°Since the program has been submitted, why don¡¯t you give it a try? If you need any help, just tell me and I¡¯ll do my best to assist.¡±
Su Wanwan pouted her lips.
It wasn¡¯t the performance she was annoyed with, but being manipted.
¡°Can you sing? Dance? Or maybe y an instrument?¡± Zhao Qianqian exhaustively tried toe up with ideas for her. ¡°The actual performance is only a few minutes, it will be over quickly if not¡ You could write a speech, poetry recital?¡±
Seeing Su Wanwan still didn¡¯t speak, she lowered her voice to persuade, ¡°Once the list is submitted, it¡¯s difficult to make changes. Consider it as a contribution to the ss. If you do well, you can earn credits.¡±
Su Wanwan took a deep breath and finally nodded, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll think about what to perform.¡±
Zhao Qianqian: ¡°Great!¡±
Lin Qiao also quietly let out a sigh of relief.
This bitch! She¡¯s nothing but sharp teeth and a slick tongue!
But because of the previous incident in the ssroom when she had been scared by Mo Weiyi¡¯s bodyguard into apologizing on the spot, she had already lost face in front of her ssmates once.
Almost everyone present had witnessed the scene from that day. No matter how upset she was, she had to maintain her image or she could easily be used of deliberately taking revenge.
It seemed that ying the victim was more effective. She had been too impulsive in the past.
Lin Qiao was feeling smug¡
¡°Is the ss monitor absent?¡±
Upon hearing Su Wanwan¡¯s words, Lin Qiao¡¯s expression changed.
Why is this bitch looking for Jiang Shuhao?
¡°The ss monitor is the host, he¡¯s not participating in our show.¡± Zhao Qianqian asked, ¡°Do you need something from him?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Su Wanwan said, ¡°I want to sign up for the esports club with him.¡±
¡°What a coincidence, I¡¯m also thinking about joining the esports club. Shall we go togetherter?¡± Zhao Qianqian suggested.
Su Wanwan nced at Lin Qiao.
Zhao Qianqian seemed to be the lifemittee member, she was always following Lin Qiao around. But from what Su Wanwan could see, she seemed to be a nice person, unlike the other petty girls who were blindly following Lin Qiao.
If she could form an alliance with Zhao Qianqian¡
Deciding immediately, Su Wanwan agreed, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go togetherter.¡±
Chapter 219: 219, cannot fight against
Chapter 219: cannot fight against
Trantor: 549690339 |
Sure enough, as soon as Su Wenwen spoke, Lin Qiao couldn¡¯t hold back and grabbed Zhao Qianqian¡¯s arm, questioning her. ¡°Since when did you like ying games?¡±
Zhao Qianqian replied, ¡°During the summer holidays at home, my brother got me into ying a few rounds of King of Champions. I found it quite fun and, as it happens, I haven¡¯t joined any clubs this semester.¡±
¡°juniors can choose not to join clubs,¡± Lin Qiao sneaked a nce at Su Wanwan and advised, ¡°We are preparing for the weing party, and we need to prepare for our English CET-6 examsing up. Next term, we will also be busy with internships. Where will you find the time¡?
Su Wanwan interrupted her directly, ¡°Zhao Qianqian, what heroes do you like
to y?¡±
The moment the topic turned to gaming, Zhao Qianqian¡¯s attention waspletely diverted, ¡°I y as mages, Ang, Daji, Xiaoqiao!¡± ¡°Perfect! I y as a jungler, so we could form mid-jungle synergy!
One kill. One assist.
Cough. Cough.
Zhao Qianqian held Su Wanwan in high admiration, ¡°You can y in the jungle too? That¡¯s seriously awesome! You¡¯re the first girl I¡¯ve seen who can y jungler!¡±
¡°Just normal, Luna, Li Bai, Nakoruru, Han Xin¡
With every hero mentioned, Zhao Qianqian¡¯s eyes would brighten.
¡°lean y all of them!¡± Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, totally full of herself.
In this game, what female yers like the most is to be carried by a skilled jungler yer.
Although she¡¯s not a guy, her skills are certainly not inferior to theirs.
¡°Goddess!¡± Zhao Qianqian excitedly grabbed the arm of her new idol, I beg you to carry me, Goddess!¡±
¡°No problem. I¡¯ll take care of lv9, and you just need to be cute.¡±
¡°You¡¯re that strong!¡±
¡°Of course¡¡±
The two chatted excitedly, while Lin Qiao watched, dumbfounded.
Does Zhao Qianqian have no moral integrity to speak of?
Just for a game, she got bought so quickly by Su Wanwan?
The little minion who used to always follow her around, now turns perfidious!
This is driving her crazy!
**
Half an hourter, Zhao Qianqian took Su Wanwan, confidently leading the way to a lecture hall in the old teaching building.
As they pushed open the door, there were already quite a few people inside, mostly boys.
On the podium, the club president with sses inquired, ¡°Students, may I ask who you are¡?¡±
¡°They are the new club members that are here to sign up,¡± Jian Shuhao stood up and jokingly replied, his demeanor smooth as always. ¡°Come on in.
Zhao Qianqian and Su Wanwan quickly walked in.
¡°Well, big shot Jiang, you already found a new target so soon after losing Lin Qiao. This girl must be the one who pped Lin Qiaost time, right? Little chili pepper indeed. You sure have exotic taste.¡± The vice president who spoke was in charge of recruitingst time.
He¡¯d witnessed the entire exchange between Su Wanwan and Lin Qiaost time. Man, being tall and handsome definitely gets you far, with girls willing to fight over him, even to the point of physical shes¡
Jian Shuhao gave his friend a sidelong nce, opened his mouth as if to deny it, but ended up not saying anything.
**
After signing up, Su Wanwan went back to her dormitory to prepare for the wee party.
Just as she was searching for videos online, her phone beeped.
She picked it up to take a look.
Su Wenwen¡¯s eyes lit up.
Holy moly!
Huo Jingshen transferred 5000 Yuan?
She hastily epted the transfer, ¡°Thanks, hubby!
Unexpectedly, the old man finally showed some conscience. Who knew¡ ¡°If you really want to thank me,e back and keep mepany tonight.
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡.¡±
She fumed and sent back a message.
You shameless jerk!
We are only interacting over the phone, so who¡¯s afraid of whom?
But when Huo Jingshen sent another message¡
Forget it, forget it, I can¡¯t outdo him.
**
Huo Yuan Group.
In the office, Huo Jingshen put down the phone and dialed an internal line.
Within a few seconds, there were two knocks on the door, and Ji Jie entered the office apprehensively, ¡°Mr. Huo, may I ask if you have any instructions?¡± God in heaven!
Ever since he was punished to write a 4000-word self-criticismst time, he dared not y PUBG during working hours.
However, he saw Huo Jingshen ask with a calm expression, ¡°Have any activities been arranged recently?¡±
Ji Jie quickly ran through the schedule in his head before answering, ¡°No.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at him thoughtfully, not saying anything.
Ji Jie immediately started trembling, ¡°Mr. Huo, what¡ what do you mean?
Even though their boss was handsome and charming, he always seemed to have a pleasant temper, but everytime Ji Jie was looked at this way by him, he felt an immense pressure.
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly and finally spoke, ¡°Recently, Nancheng University¡¡±
He paused again.
Ji Jie immediately stated, ¡°Recently, Nancheng University did indeed send an invitation. It¡¯s for the new semester weing party. However, such affairs were usually attended by representatives from our investment division.¡± ¡°This time, I am going to personally attend.¡±
As soon as Huo Jingshen announced this, Ji Jie¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, ¡°Mr. Huo¡ You¡ you are going to attend the weing party at Nancheng University personally?¡±
¡°Any problem?¡±
Huo Jingshen shot a dagger re at him, and Ji Jie quickly retreated, ¡°No¡ no, I will arrange it right away.¡±
Just as he was about to exit the room¡.
¡°It¡¯s just a small matter, don¡¯t publicize it to the school.¡±
¡°Yes, Mr. Huo.¡±
He¡¯ s actually going to attend the weing party at Nancheng University?
And he won¡¯t allow it to be publicized?
This is so essible to the people¡
Not like Mr. Huo at all!

For the next few days, everything was calm.
Su Wanwan first went to the driving school and finallypleted the third subject. The rest of her time was spent in preparation for her uing performance.
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯te to the school these days.
Until one afternoon, the day before the party, Su Wanwan suddenly received a call from Mo Weiyi.
¡°Wanwan, I noticed another ne missing.¡±
¡°Did you mark them?¡± Su Wanwan asked.
¡°Those nes were custom birthday gifts from my grandfather, and my English name is engraved in the pendant.¡± Mo Weiyi asked her, ¡°Do you think I should report it to the police?¡±
Su Wanwan thought and said, ¡°Bring Aunt Jiang to school tomorrow. You know, Li Feifei is also performing, right? She will definitely wear those earrings, maybe she will also¡¡±
¡°Xiaobai, you¡¯re back!¡±
Upon hearing the sudden sweet and affectionate voice from the other side of the line, Su Wanwan twitched at the corner of her mouth.
This girl!
Following that¡
¡°Wanwan, I have to go, Xiaobai is back. Bye.¡± With that, the call was hung up.
Su Wanwan looked at the phone screen, speechless.
This Mo Xiaose abandons her girlfriends as soon as her husband is around!
Absolute lightheadedness!
Abandons friends at the sight of love!
Has malevolent intentions at the sight of love!

The Mo Family¡¯s vi.
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi stood up from the sofa with a smile both sweet and surprised on her face.
Xiao Yebai asked, ¡°Who were you on the phone with?¡±
It seemed like he heard something about reporting to the police?
¡°Wanwan, I was telling her about going to school to watch the performance tomorrow.¡± Mo Weiyi said, walking over and dutifully taking the suit jacket from his hand, ¡°Howe you came back so early today?¡±
¡°Unexpected business trip.¡±
Mo Weiyi stiffened at the mention of ¡®business trip¡¯, then turned around, ¡°Now?¡±
Although she knew that impromptu business trips were mostmon for a CEO of Mo Family, she couldn¡¯t help but feel upset!
It was all too sudden!
She had thought that he wasing home early just to be with her.
Xiao Yebai indifferently said, ¡°I have to handle a tricky matter in Haicheng. My flight is at eight tonight.¡±
¡°How long will you be gone for this time?¡±
¡°A week.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
That long?
She pouted, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have Aunt Zhou stay with me in the vi for these few days.¡±
¡°Are you still upset with Aunt Jiang?¡± When Xiao Yebai arrived home earlier, he found her alone in the bedroom while Aunt Jiang was cleaning downstairs.
¡°No, I just¡¡± Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, then went on to exin, ¡°Aunt Jiang is a local, let her go home for the night.¡±
Right after saying that, she quickly changed the subject, ¡°Xiaobai, let me help you pack.¡±
Xiao Yebai did not respond.
In any case, he would have to re-pick his items afterward.
He walked into the bathroom, only toe out a momentter, ¡°You haven¡¯t yet had your period.¡±
His remark was a statement of fact.
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, then turned to the tall, reserved man standing in the doorway of the bathroom, at a loss for words.
She hadn¡¯t expected him to be so attentive to minor details.
This time her period was a whole weekte. She was thinking of getting a pregnancy test.
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°Tomorrow, have Aunt Zhou take you to the hospital for a check-up.¡±
¡°A check-up for what?¡±. Mo Weiyi was puzzled, could it be¡
¡°Your period is a weekte, it¡¯s irregr, you should see a doctor about it and maybe get some medication to regte it.¡±
Mo Weiyi coughed twice.
Embarrassed.
She had thought Xiaobai wanted her to go for a pregnancy test.
Unable to contain herself, she tentatively asked, ¡°Xiaobai, do you think I might¡ could I be¡¡±
¡°What?¡± Xiao Yebai watched her, his handsome profile unchanged.
¡°Could I be pregnant?¡±
Upon hearing her words, there was a subtle flicker in the depths of the man¡¯s dark eyes.
Then he said, ¡°Impossible.¡±
¡°Why is it impossible? I¡¯m a weekte and this has never happened before.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not possible.¡± His voice was still low and firm.
Mo Weiyi pouted, ¡°How can you be so sure?¡±
The man¡¯s handsome face remained expressionless, ¡°I¡¯ve taken precautions every time, and besides, you¡¯re still a student. Even if you were pregnant, we couldn¡¯t keep it.¡±
¡°Why not?¡±
Mo Weiyi angrily widened her round, beautiful cat-like eyes, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
Would they have to abort if she did get pregnant?
How could they!
Xiao Yebai watched her. His thin lips were slightly pursed, his face calm, but behind his sses, his eyes were a little hazy.
Leaning slightly, he removed his sses and ced them on the table, ¡°In any case, as a student, you can¡¯t get pregnant right now.¡±
With that, he turned around and went back into the bathroom.
Mo Weiyi stood there, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in deep thought.
So what if she was a student?
Couldn¡¯t students get pregnant?
Although she was a student, she didn¡¯t exactly love studying¡
Though the displeasure was quickly reced by the sorrow of parting.
Thinking about how she wouldn¡¯t see Xiaobai for a whole week, Mo Weiyi quickly checked the time.
Eight o¡¯clock flight, leave for the airport at six, they still had an hour and a half.
*

Xiao Yebai quickly came out after taking a shower.
He stood tall at 188 cm, his frame lean and well-proportioned, without any excess fat, sleek yetmanding.
Unlike other men, his skin was particrly fair, with the well-defined muscle structure adding to his masculinity, exuding a strong aura of male hormones..

As he walked towards her with a stoic expression, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but swoon and marvel once again.
Just how unearthly attractive was he?
How on earth did she have such good taste in men?
He could totally upstage Xiaobai¡¯s glorious handsomeness!
Xiao Yebai nced at her before heading straight to the wardrobe.
He had just pulled out a dark-colored shirt¡
¡°Xiaobai.¡±
Mo Weiyi hugged him from behind, her face nestled against him, her voice soft and coy.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes stiffened, a wave of turmoil flickered in his deep gaze, ¡°Stop it.¡±
Mo Weiyi sensed the subtle change in his voice, pursed her lips, and pouted, ¡°I¡¯m not messing around, don¡¯t you miss it? It¡¯s been days since west¡¡±
¡°We don¡¯t have time right now,¡± he interjected.
¡°We still have an hour and a half, I believe you can manage.¡±
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow before slowly speaking, ¡°I have to make a trip to the industrial park.¡±
¡°Then you just need to be quick, isn¡¯t it?¡±
When it came to matters of intimacy, Mo Weiyi was never shy.
Mainly because Xiao Yebai was always so solemn, it always took her repetitive hints for him to show his true nature.
He was truly a refined gentleman with a hidden wild side!
Xiao Yebai felt the dialogue was a bit outrageous, but it was really not the right moment.
¡°Zhong Kai is waiting downstairs. Behave.¡±
¡°But I¡¯m going to miss you.¡± Mo Weiyi clung to the tall man like a ko.
She pouted her lips and whined, ¡°I¡¯m so bored staying alone at home every day. It¡¯s such a hassle to go out with my foot injured, and now you have to go on a business trip. I won¡¯t have anyone to keep mepany.¡±
A speck of helplessness shed across the man¡¯s eyes, then he gently replied, ¡°I¡¯ll be back as soon as I¡¯m finished with work.¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted and finally let go.
She watched him get dressed.
His handsome features, efficient movements, long slender fingers¡ªjust so elegant and beautiful.
How could a man look so attractive even when getting dressed?
Once Xiao Yebai was fully dressed and started packing his suitcase, Mo Weiyi looked at him squatting and spoke up again, ¡°Xiaobai, remember to text me once you¡¯re in Haicheng.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Drink less when you¡¯re socializing. I¡¯m going to call you at 10PM.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Bring me a gift when youe back.¡±
His response was different this time. Xiao Yebai replied, ¡°I¡¯m going there for work.¡±
¡°You can still make time to buy me a gift. Also, the Mid-Autumn Festival is next week, we¡¯re going back to our old house. You can just get local specialties from Haicheng.¡±
¡°¡Understood.¡±
Finally, after packing his luggage, Xiao Yebai stood up. Gathering all the necessary documents and picking up his coat, he was ready to leave.
¡°Wait a moment.¡± Mo Weiyi came over, lifting her chin, ¡°Xiaobai, hug.¡±
Xiao Yebai approached her.
Even before he was close, Mo Weiyi had already reached out her hands.
¡°Weiyi.¡± Xiao Yebai sighed quietly, taking her hand.
Mo Weiyi, with her beautiful cat-like eyes, looked at him with a coquettish charm. She hung limp in his arms like a boneless creature, her voice mimicking a little animal¡¯s coo, ¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai¡¡±
¡°A young girl like you, aren¡¯t you embarrassed to speak like this?¡± Xiao Yebai said as his fingers unknowingly caressed her soft cheeks.
¡°You¡¯re my husband, we¡¯re old married couple, what¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?¡± Mo Weiyi said it like it was the most natural thing.
She loved Xiaobai, loved touching him, and loved doing all the most intimate things a man and a woman could do.
Being with him always felt sweet and joyful, she never felt that it was unbing of ady to act this way.
She had set her heart on him ever since they were young and had always contrived ways to have him notice her.
They¡¯ve known each other for ten years, childhood sweethearts, and were each other¡¯s first. This kind of lifelong love made her feel incredibly lucky.
Aside from Xiaobai, she couldn¡¯t even fathom liking any other man. That¡¯s why over these years, she¡¯s given herself entirely to him, willingly and unconditionally.
¡°Or else¡¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly proposed, ¡°Why not take me along on your business trip?¡±
She had never been on a business trip with Xiaobai before.
In fact, she rarely saw him at work, and seldom visited hispany, the Mo Family enterprise.
Most importantly, she didn¡¯t want to be apart from Xiaobai for a whole week.
Xiao Yebai:
Her honey-blonde curls fell softly on her shoulders, her cheeks flushed with a hint of redness. Her current spoiled demeanor was unknowingly quite enticing.
He said, ¡°Behave.¡±
Although reluctant, Mo Weiyi could tell he was refusing. She had to let go, ¡°Alright then, tell Zhong Kai to drive slowly.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Watching Xiao Yebai go downstairs, Mo Weiyi turned around to return to their room and dialed a call to her grandfather.
On hearing that Xiao Yebai was going away on business for a few days, her grandfather suggested, ¡°Thene stay at the old house.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to, have Aunt Zhoue and keep mepany instead..¡±
Chapter 222: 222, Little Princess
Chapter 222: Little Princess
Trantor: 549690339 |
Mo Weiyi doesn¡¯t like staying overnight at the old house. Ever since the incident with her mother a few years ago, she always felt that the old house was gloomy and creepy.
Especially at night, she didn¡¯t dare to wander around alone or sleep alone in a room.
¡°By the way, Grandpa.¡± Mo Weiyi grabbed a pink rag doll and hugged it in her arms, ¡°My aunt and her family have been at the old house for several days now. They didn¡¯t upset you, did they?¡±
Do you think I am the kind of person who gets mad easily?¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted, ¡°Then why do you always vent your anger on Xiaobai?¡±
The history of Mo Family¡¯s fortune wasn¡¯t honorable. When Old Master Mo was young, he did all sorts of smuggling and ck market trading. He was known in the underworld as ¡°Lord Yan of Mo¡±, notorious for his vtile and irascible temper.
Although heter retired from his shady business and started a legitimate one, it didn¡¯ t mean his temper had also retreated. The most evident instance was how he treated Xiaobai.
Ever since Xiao Yebai joined the Mo family, Yebai rarely saw the old man showing a friendly face to him, not knowing why he disliked him so much¡
Old Master Mo said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just because he always bullies you? That brat, if he dares to do something to wrong you, I¡¯ll kick him out directly!¡±
¡°Grandpa!¡± Mo Weiyi grasped the face of the rag doll tightly, ¡°Xiaobai treats me very well. Don¡¯t you dare have such thoughts! He is my husband, your grandsoninw, could you please stop speaking of him in such a manner!¡± Men all have their pride, especially Xiaobai. Although he appears gentle and refined outwardly, the public pressure he¡¯s borne over the years is too heavy¡ ¡°Hmph.¡± Old Master Mo grumbled haughtily, ¡°Then it better be this way, otherwise¡¡±?????????????????? ¡¯
¡°Why are you so strict with Xiaobai? I haven¡¯t seen you take such a hard stand against my aunt and my cousin.¡± Mo Weiyi grumbled.
¡±They are just guests, how could that be the same?¡± Old Master Moughed, Also, what¡¯s-her-name has been away and neveres home, I can barely see her.¡±??????????? ¡®
¡°Who, Auntie?¡±
¡°Your cousin. She said she is going to Haicheng tomorrow. So mysterious for such a young age.¡±
Haicheng?
A sudden realization shed across Mo Weiyi¡¯s mind.
What a coincidence?
Xiaobai is also going on a business trip to Haicheng.
¡°Grandpa, why is Qu Yunyao going to Haicheng?¡±
Why bother what she¡¯s doing? I¡¯m only concerned about my own granddaughter.¡± Old Master Mo chuckled, ¡°How¡¯s it going? When will your foot recover? Come back frequently after you ¡®ve fully recovered and chat with this old man.¡±
¡°It¡¯s almost there. I went for a reexamination today. The doctor said it would recover in about two weeks.¡± Mo Weiyi thought for a while and said, ¡°Grandpa, could you ask my aunt to send me Yunyao¡¯s mobile number?¡±
Old Master Mo didn¡¯t ask for the reason and agreed.
Shortly after they hung up the phone, Xu Hui called and gave the phone number to Mo Weiyi.
Mo Weiyi asked casually, ¡°Auntie, why is Yunyao going to Haicheng?¡± ¡°She¡¯s going with her boyfriend. I¡¯m not sure about their specific ns, maybe they¡¯re going on a trip.¡±
¡°She has a boyfriend?¡± Mo Weiyi recalled that Yunyao seemed to be single. ¡°Yes, I just found out too. This girl is very good at keeping secrets. She and her boyfriend started dating in America, but she never told me.¡±
¡°Well, alright.¡±
*
The next day.
As Mo Weiyi came downstairs after getting up, Aunt Jiang had already arrived. ¡°I have to go to the campus this afternoon. Aunt Jiang, why don¡¯t youe along?¡±
As soon as Aunt Jiang heard about going to the school, her face instantly turned uneasy, ¡°Princess, can¡ can I not go?¡±
¡°Did your son break up with Feifei?¡±
Aunt Jiang hesitated, ¡°No.¡±
As expected, Wanwan was right.
This Li Feifei, could it be that she was coaxed by some jewels or valuables again?
Mo Weiyi tugged at her red lips, ¡°It seems, Li Feifei is not such a gold digger after all, Aunt Jiang, you don¡¯t have to worry about your son anymore.¡±
But¡¡± Aunt Jiang¡¯s face revealed hesitation, ¡°Princess, I think I¡¯ll pass on going to the school, otherwise Feifei would feel embarrassed if she sees me.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at Aunt Jiang without speaking.
Today she was wearing a ck dress, covered with a deep coffee-colored coat and wore brick-red lipstick that contrasted with her fair skin. She exhibited a ¡¯ sort of ssical charm. The silent, noble, and cold look at this moment gave her a particrly assertive aura.
Aunt Jiang felt guilty under her gaze.
Then Mo Weiyi said, ¡°Alright then, you can tidy up the dressing room at home. Xiaobai is going on a business trip these few days, so gather all his out-of- season clothing and send them to theundry.¡±
¡°Alright, Princess.¡±
When Mo Weiyi left, Aunt Jiang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Having worked here for more than two years, she knew Mo Weiyi had a simple nature, and having lived a pampered life since childhood, had developed a delicate lifestyle.
She loved luxury and was generous, yet had no concept of money, and paid even less attention to her own jewelry and clothes.
Mr. Xiao was different, despite being reticent he had an extreme attention to detail, which is why she never dared to touch his things.
In the beginning, she only dared to take home some fruits, food, and drinks. Once she found out that Mo Weiyi waspletely oblivious, she began taking insignificant jewelry and cosmetics.
After taking these things home, most of them were sold off by her son. Over the two years, she had earned quite a bit and Mo Weiyi seemed to never notice until that pair of earrings¡
At that time, she saw that the earrings were new and beautiful, and yet Mo Weiyi had never worn them. They had been in the bottom drawer of her dressing table all this while.
Most likely, Mo Weiyi had so many pieces of jewelry, she must have forgotten all about it.
Chapter 223: 223, Welcome Party
Chapter 223: Wee Party
Trantor: 549690339 |
It was mishandled, but she didn¡¯t expect Mo Weiyi to question it unexpectedly.
When she asked her son at home, he told her that he had already sold it.
She was so nervous those days that she worked extraordinarily. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t question any further, and she finally settled down.
Meeting Li Feifei at Nancheng University was purely an ident.
She rarely went to school with Mo Weiyi and it was only the second time she met Li Feifei. At that time, she was really panicked, fearing that the Little Princess would think she was deceitful and had a bad character, and thus fire her.
She really couldn¡¯t lose this job; not to mention the sry was doublepared to other servants, the working hours were not long, no need to live in, it was convenient to ask for leave, not to mention that there were so many hidden perks¡
Out of helplessness, she had to take a gamble and call Mr. Xiao for help.
Mr. Xiao is cold in nature, but as long as he is willing to help and Mo Weiyi loves him so much that he listens to him almost everything, he will certainly forgive her.
As expected, with the help of Mr. Xiao, Mo Weiyi asked her toe back to work the next day without any further suspicion on her.
**
In the afternoon, Nancheng University.
The weing party was at three in the afternoon, held in the university¡¯s grand hall.
When they reached the gate of the school, Mo Weiyi said, ¡°Rong An, stop here.¡±
¡°Princess, let me take you in.¡±
¡°No need, Wanwan wille to pick me up, you go do what I told you, I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be enough time.¡±
Rong An had no choice but to stop the car.
¡°In three hours, have old Liu drive and pick me up.¡± After saying this, Mo Weiyi got out of the car.
The ck Audi slowly drove away.
Mo Weiyi turned around and raised her eyes, instantly seeing a bright red banner hanging at the main entrance of the school.
[Warmly Wee the Leaders of Huo Yuan Group to Inspect!]
Huo Yuan Group?
Mo Weiyi raised her delicate eyebrows, took out her phone and sent a message to Su Wanwan, ¡°Is your boss Huoing to watch your performance today?¡±
¡°Miss? Miss?¡±
A hand suddenly appeared in front of her, shaking twice. At the same time, a foul smell came over.
Mo Weiyi subconsciously held her breath.
¡°Miss, can I borrow your phone?¡± A voice suddenly came very close.
Mo Weiyi looked up, and at the same time, supported herself with a crutch, immediately taking a step back.
In front of her stood a young stranger, wearing a denim jacket, dyed hair in a ring yellow, with thin cheeks. Because they were so close, Mo Weiyi immediately saw his oily face and a few un-popped pimples.
Right now, he was looking at her with eyes showing too much whites, even though he had a smile on his face, his gaze was lewd, with ill intentions.
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t want to pay him any mind.
Just as she was about to turn around, the guy quickly moved closer again, repeating the same sentence, ¡°Miss, can I borrow your phone?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Despite being repudiated, the man still forced out a smile, ¡°Miss, I lost my phone and I didn¡¯t bring any money with me, could you do me a favor?¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes and tone full of mockery, ¡°Please, what era is it? Do you find this way of trying to pick up girls outdated?¡±
¡°Miss, I¡¯m really in a hurry. You misconstrue. I¡¯m no bad guy.¡± As he spoke, the man moved closer again.
At the same time, another wave of nasty, greasy smell came over.
Mo Weiyi felt like throwing up..
Chapter 224: 224, Smelly Man
Chapter 224: Smelly Man
Trantor: 549690339 |
She knew that most men weren¡¯t that fond of cleanliness.
That¡¯s why people often said ¡°stinky men¡±.
But in her real life, she rarely encountered this type of man.
Furthermore, her taste had been shaped by her husband since childhood. Encountering this grimy, dirty face, brazen, uncouth and lowly bully right now was truly annoying.
Suppressing her urge to hold her nose, she attempted to leave with her cane, but the man quickly stepped forward, blocking her path.
Mo Weiyi felt revolted and impatient. Her face darkened as she sternly warned, ¡°This is a school.¡±
¡°Miss, I haven¡¯t done anything, why are you calling the police?¡± Seeing Mo Weiyi getting angry, Song Quan¡¯ssciviousughter only deepened. He leaned in closer still, lowering his voice and deliberately teased with an ambiguous tone, ¡°Look at how scared you are, I¡¯m not a bad guy, I absolutely adore younger sisters¡¡±
Mo Weiyi felt sick to her stomach. She gripped her cane, considering whether or not to hit him with it when¡
¡°Mo Weiyi.¡±
It was the ss monitor.
Another ssmate was by his side.
Both of them were tall and strong. They might have sensed something was off and quickly approached. ¡°Mo Weiyi, do you know this man?¡±
¡°No, he suddenly asked to borrow my phone.¡± Mo Weiyi replied, using her cane to move away. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Song Quan stood there, his eyes lingering on Mo Weiyi¡¯s retreating figure.
He had been hanging around this university for several days, yet he had not seen Mo Weiyi. Just when he began to doubt Xiao Zhiwei, he fortuitously saw her getting out of an Audi today.
No wonder he couldn¡¯t find this chick; he had overlooked the most important point: rich youngdies had chauffeurs to transport them, so they would never be out alone.
In that case, he needed to alter his ns. He had just taken advantage of her looking at her phone to observe her up close. She was even more beautiful than the fleeting glimpse he had caught before.
Especially her skin, so white and delicate, without a single pore visible. He supposed that her body must be just as smooth and soft.
He began to imagine¡
Dirty, vulgar images filled his mind, and refused to fade away.
*
*
Mo Weiyi quickly followed the ss monitor to the school auditorium, which was already full of people.
Her arrival caused quite a stir.
However, after just one look, Mo Weiyi bid the monitor farewell, and headed towards the backstage by herself.
To her surprise, the backstage was even more crowded. People were putting on makeup, changing clothes, and still others were cramming in ast-minute rehearsal. It was bustling and lively.
Mo Weiyi looked around for Su Wanwan, but didn¡¯t manage to spot her, instead one of the girls from their dormitory approached her first. ¡°Mo Weiyi, are you here to watch the performance?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Mo Weiyi asked her, ¡°Where is Li Feifei?¡±
¡°She¡¯s putting on makeup.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked in that direction.
Li Feifei was sitting in front of an improvised makeup table, with a professional stylist attending to her.
Then she looked at Li Feifei¡¯s outfit.
A long, light-coloredce dress, crystal high heels, and a small princess crown on her carefully arranged hair. At first nce, she really did resemble ¡°Todo Shizu¡±.

Trantor: 549690339 |
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d have the audacity to wear those red earrings.
This made things easier.
After sending a WeChat message to Su Wenwen, she returned to the hall and found herself a seat.
It wasn¡¯t long before people slowly filled up the seats around her.
As the opening music began to y energetically, the hosts took to the stage.
*
*
Su Wenwen hastily made her way backstage, where she saw a crowd of girls peeking from behind the curtain.
As she was about to join them¡
¡°Next, allow me to present our special guest from the Huo Yuan Group: Huo Jingshen! Please give him a warm wee!¡±
Huo Jingshen?
Hearing this name, Su Wenwen was taken aback.
You¡¯re kidding, right?
She thought she¡¯d misheard, but when she tiptoed to take a look down at the stage¡
Holy cow!
The man that had just walked in¡
Was indeed Huo Jingshen!
He was dressed in a ck suit, paired with a white dress shirt and a burgundy tie. He was groomed neatly down to his sideburns.
His tall, nearly 1.9-metre tall frame along with his handsome, slightly stern features made him stand out among the crowd. His mature aura characteristic of those in high positions put him in the limelight.
Walking with long strides, he showed no emotion as he reached the VIP seats at the front, shaking hands with the school leaders. When he was invited to take the central seat, he slightly curved his lips into a smile.
The sh of his smile stirred waves of excitement in the crowd.
Su Wanwan could practically hear the gasps and screams of surprise from the women.
All from female attendees!
Including the group of girls beside her!
Feeling irritated, she was about to turn away¡
¡°Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan!¡± Her arm was suddenly grabbed. Zhao Qianqian was almost shrieking, ¡°Oh my god, did you see it? Isn¡¯t this Mr. Huo incredibly handsome?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo?¡±
Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan said, ¡°So you¡¯re such a fangirl?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with being a fangirl?¡± Zhao Qianqian giggled, ¡°Who could have imagined such a high-status man would attend our party? It¡¯s usually Mr. Zhang, who is short, fat, and bald with a beer belly. Are you telling me you don¡¯t find Mr. Huo handsome?¡±
Coughing awkwardly, Su Wanwan said, ¡°He¡¯s okay, I guess.¡±
¡± ¡®Okay¡¯? My god, this is more than just okay!¡± Another female ssmate chimed in, ¡°I think Mr. Huo is way more handsome than those young idols! Most importantly, he¡¯s so young!¡±
Unable to control herself, Su Wanwan blurted out, ¡°He¡¯s already 30. How¡¯s that young?¡±
A thirty-year-old man is old. How could anyonepare him with young idols? How could they say he¡¯s ¡°young¡± with a clear conscience?
¡°How did you know he¡¯s 30?¡± Zhao Qianqian stared at her.
Su Wanwan was taken aback, ¡°I¡ I¡¯m guessing.¡±
¡°A 30-year-old man is prime material! Mature, stable, and approachable!¡±
¡°Exactly!¡±
¡°I wonder if he¡¯s married?¡±
¡°How can such a catch like him be married?¡±
¡°If only he could be my boyfriend¡¡±
¡°Give it up! He¡¯s already married! His wife is incredibly beautiful!¡± blurted out Su Wanwan again.
This time all the girls turned to look at her, bombarding her with questions:
¡°How do you know he¡¯s married?¡±
¡°How do you know his wife is incredibly beautiful?¡±
¡°Do you know him?¡±
Su Wanwan could only repeat, ¡°Err¡ I guessed.¡±
Everyone:
Thankfully, the female host¡¯s voice sounding again saved her. Su Wanwan quickly excused herself, ¡°I have to go change.¡±

Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°I get it.¡± Xing Siqing suddenlyughed, ¡°Did you get upset after hearing that grandmother presented Sister Jingyi with that ne for her dowry? Let me remind you, Sister Jingyi and elder brother were properly engaged during their childhood. Who do you think you are? You haven¡¯t even had a wedding ceremony yet, how ridiculous.¡±
¡°What¡¯s it to you?¡± Su Wanwan squinted, ¡°You¡¯re a dog trying to catch a mouse ¨C a meddler. Are you happy being herpdog? I would almost suspect you¡¯re her maid.¡±
¡°You¡¡±
¡°Siqing.¡± Chu Jingyi¡¯s voice rang outzily, ¡°I need to be somewhere else I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
¡°Sister Jingyi, wait for me!¡± Xing Siqing feigned the intent to follow her but she quickly lowered her voice and hurriedly said, ¡°Since you already heard I¡¯ll be open about it. Sister Jingyi has already divorced, she came back to the country to reconcile with elder brother. Your position as Mrs. Huo will soon be filled by someone else. Look at you, then look at Sister Jingyi, you are not even worthy of carrying her shoes! You can neverpete with her! I can¡¯t wait to see how long you can keep up this pretense! Humph!¡±
After saying this, she left with a triumphant smile.
Su Wenwen stood there, knowing clearly that Xing Siqing only wanted to provoke her, but she indeed felt irritated.
Because she was unaware of many things, and obviously, Huo Jingshen had chosen to hide them from her.
By the time she was about to re-enter the banquet hall, she suddenly felt the desire to leave.
Inside, an object was being auctioned. Su Wenwen stood in the door, hearing the lively voice of the announcer calling out, ¡°Starting at 4 million!¡±
¡°4-5 million!¡±
¡°5 million!¡±
5 million for the first time, 5 million for the second¡¡±
¡°6 million.¡±
The room was filled with gasps of surprise when this bid was ced.
Su Wanwan looked over.
Sure enough, the woman raising the paddle and shouting the price was Chu Jmgyi.
Being the eldest granddaughter of the Chu Family, naturally beautiful elegantly dressed, and raising the bid by a full million at once, she immediately captured everyone¡¯s attention.
Su Wanwan even heard many people discussing enthusiastically near the entrance:
¡°Miss Chu is truly generous.¡±
A picture is worth a thousand words, I never expected Miss Chu to be this beautiful.¡±
¡°Not just beautiful, she is also highly talented.¡±
¡°Exactly, her traditional Chinese painting has even won international awards!¡±
¡°She is truly the pride of the Chu family!¡±
The announcer asked, ¡°Miss Chu Jingyi bids 6 million, is there anyone else?¡± At this moment, the deep voice of Huo Jingshen rang out, ¡°8 million!¡± Another wave of gasps swept the room, this time because the bid jumped directly from 6 million to 8 million.
The CEO of the Huo Yuan Group, Mr. Huo has bid 8 million, 8 million for the first time, 8 million for the second¡¡±
¡°9 million!¡±
Chu Jingyi again.
Laid-back, casual, exuding confidence, yet seemingly indifferent, as if she were merely calling out random numbers with no consideration for the cost.
Su Wenwen suddenly felt a sensation inside of her that she had never felt before.
All this time, she had been living carefree, never doubting herself.
But now, she truly sensed the gap that existed between her and Chu Jingyi, and how out of ce she was in this setting.
She observed Huo Jingshen.
He calmly held up his paddle and signaled, ¡°10 million.¡±
The announcer was all excited, he held up the microphone, about to speak¡
¡°11 million!¡±
Chu Jingyi again.
¡°11 million, Miss Chu has bid 11 million¡¡±
Huo Jingshen continued, ¡°12 million.¡±
¡°13 million.¡±
¡°14 million.¡±
¡°15 million.¡±
¡°17 million.¡±
II II
The room had turned into a battlefield for this man and woman.
The protagonists were Huo Jingshen and Chu Jingyi.
The two seemed to bepeting with one another stealthily, each bent on winning this auction. But to Su Wenwen¡¯s eyes, it was not much different from flirting in public.
After all, for them, money was just a bunch of insignificant numbers.
Su Wenwen turned around and walked decisively towards the exit of the hall.
**
Inside the banquet hall, thepetition was still ongoing.
¡°20 million.¡±
¡°21 million.¡±
¡°22 million.¡±
Until then, Huo Jingshen suddenly made his move, ¡°25.2 million.¡±
The room burst into whispers.
Buzzing because of the special significance of this number, and because he raised the bid by over three million¡
Just as Chu Jingyi was about to raise her paddle again, someone reached over and pushed her paddle down.
¡°Ahuang?¡±
Sister, why not let the man have his glory?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s seat was exactly behind her, he seemed to be there specifically to stop her.????????????????????????? ¡¯
This made Chu Jingyi feel a bit upset.
She replied, ¡°1 just sold that emerald ne, I feel this one couldpensate for my loss. Moreover, it would suit me better.¡±
This was an imperial green jade ne, exquisitely crafted and delicate It was said to have been bought at a high price from the descendants of some European royal family, passed down through the ck market, and ultimately collected by the Chu family, with a starting price of 3 million.
Such expensive and dazzling jewelry is perfect with her red evening gown tonight.
¡°This is a gift Brother is preparing for his wife,¡± Chu Xiuhuang rified bluntly, ¡°Sister, you¡¯ve yed the part of a green leaf enough, why waste this money unnecessarily?¡±
Waste of money?
Chu Jingyi¡¯s pupils contracted slightly.
The announcer in the background continued to call, ¡°25.2 million! 25.2 million for the first time, for the second time, for the third time, CEO Huo from Huo Yuan Group¡¯s bid of 25.2 million for the third time!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang puckered his thin lips, and finally released his hold.
Meanwhile, the announcer banged his gavel: ¡°Sold! Next, please wee Mr Huo, the winner of this auction, to the stage. Let¡¯s give him a big round of apuse.¡±

Even though he moved swiftly, even though he was still wearing sses, and even though his face remained as impassive as ever, Mo Weiyi still detected a momentary sh of evasion in his eyes.
¡°Xiaobai, are you actually jealous?¡± Mo Weiyi questioned, hardly able to believe it.
This man, who always seemed aloof and uninterested in the affairs of others, who only showed his true colors when she relentlessly clung to him, was now¡ Feeling jealous?
Xiao Yebai picked up his teacup and elegantly took a sip.
¡°Xiaobai,¡± Mo Weiyi grinned at him, ¡°the water is cold.¡±
They had returned to their old residence for these past few days and all the household staff were on holiday, she wasn¡¯t sure how long that water had been there.
Xiao Yebai gave her a look, ¡°What¡¯s actually going on?¡±
Facing her warm, radiant face which was sweet as the sun, his expression remained inscrutable and unaffected, his voice was as well.
Mo Weiyi continued to innocently hang onto this man¡¯s arm, tilting her face and gazing up at him from below, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chu Xiuhuang is just a scoundrel. Remember when I was almost engaged to him, only to break it off? He probably still harbors resentment towards me for that, ha ha ha.¡±
¡°So what¡¯s the story with the watch?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s smile began to strain.
Has he not given up on this topic yet?
Looking at his emotionless handsome face, Mo Weiyi sighed and feltpelled to say, ¡°I saw a watch that I liked and wanted to buy it as a holiday gift for you. But that day I forgot my card, and Chu Xiuhuang offered to buy it for me. Of course, I refused, but he still had it delivered to our vi.¡±
Worried that Xiao Yebai might not believe her, Mo Weiyi raised her little hand, ¡°I promise, as soon as I saw that watch arrive, I immediately sent it back to the Chu Family¡¯s house by courier, and even had the courier suggest it was a birthday gift from Chu Xiuhuang for the old man.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, ¡°Why would he buy it for you?¡±
¡°Maybe,¡± Mo Weiyi chuckled, ¡°He has too much money and doesn¡¯t know what to do with it.¡±
Having said that, she immediately clung to him again, ¡°Xiaobai, don¡¯t worry. I really have no feelings for him. Even back then, I only agreed to engage with him to purposely make you angry.¡±
Xiao Yebai gazed at her fixedly, his eyes behind the sses were deep and inscrutable.
Then, he lowered his head, approaching the charming and sweet woman beside him.
Suddenly, they were very close.
Looking into her clear and beautiful eyes, he suddenly spoke, ¡°Weiyi.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Do you love me?¡±
The man¡¯s voice was too close, deep, rich, and maic ¨C utterly enchanting.
Blurred by his charm, Mo Weiyi lost rationality and instinctively responded in a soft and sweet tone, ¡°Of course, I love you. You¡¯re the one I love most, Xiaobai.¡±
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yebai¡¯s thin lips.
It was fleeting.

After all these happenings, by the time they returned to their old residence in the evening, it was just before dinner. Mo Weiyi had also changed into new clothes.
She wore a high-cored dress that she tied up to the neck, with a touch of vintage European court style. Paired with orange-red lipstick and a delicate littlembskin handbag she was holding, she looked chic and vibrant.
Upon entering the dining room, to her surprise, she saw the woman she disliked the most¡ Qu Yunyao was sitting right there.
Mo Yaoxiong exined, ¡°After hearing about your aunt¡¯s sudden car ident, Yunyao rushed back immediately.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Mo Weiyi responded indifferently and removed her scarf before sitting down..

Jian Shuhao¡¯s originally warm and slightly smiling face turned expressionless in an instant, ¡°Didn¡¯t you already heard it?¡±
Lin Qiao:
She had heard, but she couldn¡¯t believe it. She had hoped he would deny it, but as it turned out¡
He admitted it so straightforwardly!
Jealousy made her furious, and some words slipped out her mouth, ¡°What have you progressed with that slut?¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Jian Shuhao¡¯s face turned cold, ¡°Really absurd!¡±
¡°I¡¯m absurd?¡± Lin Qiao sneered, ¡°Did you just fall for her so quickly? I remember in high school, you told me that you would never like a little punk such as her, who has no ambition, only knows how to drink, fight and skip ss. Why now¡¡±
¡°People change.¡± Jian Shuhao interrupted her impatiently, ¡°Just like you, look at yourself now. I remember in high school, all you did was study hard, hoping to enter South University with me, but now what?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t all this because of you! Ever since Su Wanwan came to this ss, your mind hasn¡¯t been here. Do you think I didn¡¯t see you secretly looking at her? Always trying to find a close seat to hers, even inviting her to join esports club, when you were nning to quit this year!¡±
¡°Even so, what does it have to do with you?¡± Jian Shuhao¡¯s expression and tone were filled with displeasure, ¡°Lin Qiao, we¡¯ve broken up. Who I like, who I pursue, who I want to be with, has nothing to do with you and you no longer have the right to control me!¡±
¡°Well, you finally admit it, don¡¯t you? Since when did it start? Tell me, tell me!¡± Lin Qiao madly grabbed his arm, demanding an exnation.
¡°Nothing to say.¡± Jian Shuhao said, shook off her hand, and turned to leave.
¡°Don¡¯t you know she¡¯s already married?¡± Lin Qiao¡¯s voice suddenly rang out again.
Jian Shuhao paused and said, ¡°Impossible.¡±
¡°She herself said it that day, didn¡¯t you forget?¡±
Jian Shuhao sighed, ¡°Lin Qiao, I really have business, have to go now.¡±
¡°Shuhao.¡± Lin Qiao approached and grabbed his hand again, ¡°Shuhao, listen to me, Su Wanwan is not what you think. I have seen her messing around with men more than once, and each time it¡¯s a different man. Once, I saw her bring a very tall man back to the dormitory, and another time, a fifty-something man drove a Rolls Royce to pick her up. I took photos of everything. Honestly, I didn¡¯t lie to you, that floozy doesn¡¯t deserve your feelings¡ Ah!¡±
Lin Qiao was pushed away and hit the nearby wall. Her shoulder ached.
Then, Jian Shuhao¡¯s harsh voice sounded, ¡°Lin Qiao, can you have a little self- respect? We already broke up, I don¡¯t like you anymore. Don¡¯t keep clinging to me in the future and stop spreading ill talk about others! Can you?¡±
He said and walked away.
Lin Qiao leaned against the wall, sped her hands, her lips were tightly clenched, the bottom of her eyes were full of defiance and hatred.

Meanwhile.
Mo Weiyi returned to the Mo Family¡¯s old residence around two in the afternoon.
Originally, she didn¡¯t n oning back. But Mo Yaoxiong called her, saying that Qu Yunyao¡¯s piano grading has passed and they were going to celebrate. Yunyao even specifically bought a gift to thank her.
Mo Weiyi remembered that the piano teacher was someone she had hired.
Bacause when Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing first came to the house, Yunyao had been pestering Xiao Yebai all night for piano tips. The next day Mo Weiyi had arranged for a top piano teacher.
It had been so long, she had almost forgotten about it.
Entering the main house¡¯s living room, Old Master Mo looked at her, ¡°Where is that boy?¡±
Mo Weiyi sat on the leather sofa in the living room, swinging her long thin legs, flirtatiously flipping her soft, curly hair, and pursing her lips, ¡°Grandpa, your grandson-inw was called to work overtime at thepany. He¡¯s working overtime for the Mo Family.¡±
¡°He has to work overtime on the weekend?¡± The Old Master Mo was very displeased.
Nothing was more important than his granddaughter.
Especially today was a weekend, what was so important that he had to go to thepany?
¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to watch a movie with him today?¡±
At the mention of this, Mo Weiyi was also unhappy.
Initially, she and Xiao Yebai were supposed to watch a newly released romantic film, said to have earned a ton of audience tears. Who knew it would suddenly turn into a horror film? Scared out of her wits, and before she could recover, Xiao Yebai received a call to return to thepany.
The romantic moment was ruined, and the wonderful weekend ended abruptly. She even had toe back here and meet the person she detests.
¡°Sister Yiyi is back.¡±
Speak of the devil, and devil is here.
Qu Yunyao walked in wearing a soft pink skirt, holding a gift box in her hand.
¡°Sister Yiyi, thank you for hiring the piano teacher. I passed my grading sessfully. This is a gift for you.¡± After she said that, she handed over the gift box.
As if afraid that Mo Weiyi wouldn¡¯t ept it, she quickly followed up, ¡°I don¡¯t have much money, so¡the things I bought aren¡¯t very expensive. But, this is my heartfelt gift. I hope Sister Yiyi won¡¯t mind.¡±
Mo Weiyi silently looked at her face, her delicate and beautiful face turned up slightly, her appearance was delicate yet lofty.
It seems like an arrogant princess, waiting for tributes.
Qu Yunyao held the gift for a long time.
Then, finally Mo Weiyi reached out to take the box from her hand.

Trantor: 549690339 |
Unexpectedly, the moment her fingers touched the box, Qu Yunyao suddenly let go of her hand, and then, the gift box quickly slipped and fell.
The living room floor was made of wood, and immediately, she heard a ¡°nk¡± sound, apanied by the noise of ss shattering.
Crash.
Then the whole living room fell silent.
Mo Weiyi was stunned.
So was Qu Yunyao.
A few secondster, she looked up, disbelief stered all over her face as she stared at Mo Weiyi, ¡°Weiyi, did you dislike the gift I gave you that much?¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful cat-like eyes, frowning, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
¡°What happened?¡± Mo Yaoxiong had already walked over.
Mo Weiyi quickly exined, ¡°I hadn¡¯t actually gotten it yet. You let go first.¡±
¡°But I waited until Weiyi had a hold of it before I let go.¡± Qu Yunyao frowned, biting her pale pink lips, her expression and tone full of grievance, ¡°I spent nearly five thousand yuan on this swan vase.¡±
Five thousand yuan was indeed a substantial amount for Qu Yunyao.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s finely shaped brows wrinkled, ¡°Is this about the money?¡±
Qu Yunyao watched her, suppressing her emotions as she squatted down and began to untie the bow on the gift box.
¡°Weiyi.¡± Mo Yaoxiong watched his daughter, ¡°This is the gift Yunyao specifically bought for you. She handpicked it carefully for days, not knowing what to get you, and even specifically called me for advice¡¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
A sharp scream suddenly interrupted Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s words.
The gift box had been opened and the ss vase inside had shattered into pieces, and Qu Yunyao¡¯s fingers seemed to be cut, with blood seeping out between her fingers.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t stand the sight of blood, so she quickly turned her face away.
¡°Are you okay?¡± The elder Mo was also worried.
¡°I¡¯m fine, I identally cut my hand.¡± Qu Yunyao gritted out through the pain.
¡°Zhou Auntie, quickly bring the medical kit.¡±
After yelling for the maid, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Mo Weiyi and scolded, ¡°Weiyi, can¡¯t you be careful? Don¡¯t you know Yunyao has to y the piano with those hands!¡±
¡°Dad?¡± Mo Weiyi stared incredulously at her father, ¡°She¡¯s the one who cut her own hand, why are you ming me?¡±
¡°Would she have got cut if you had been careful when taking the box?¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but sigh with augh.
Raising her head, alluring passion lit in her eyes, ¡°Dad, why don¡¯t you ask the seller, why is this thing so easy to break? After all, Yunyao spent five thousand, why didn¡¯t they pack it well?¡±
Mo Yaoxiong was left speechless by her retort, ¡°You¡¡±
¡°Uncle Mo,¡± Qu Yunyao intervened in a timely manner, ¡°it¡¯s not Weiyi¡¯s fault, she¡¯s right. It was my fault for not asking the shopkeeper to pack it better. It was my fault for not being careful earlier and got cut by the ss, it has nothing to do with Weiyi.¡±
This understanding behavior made Mo Yaoxiong immediately nce at his daughter again.
¡°But the gift is gone, Weiyi. I will get you another er,¡± Qu Yunyao continued.
¡°No need.¡± Mo Weiyi repliedzily, a casual tone slippingoff her tongue, ¡°Just don¡¯t hurt yourself again, or else my dad will me me again.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s face immediately turned red, ¡°Weiyi! What nonsense are you speaking!¡±
Mo Weiyi grunted and sat down, ignoring her father with an indifferent look.
¡°Stop arguing.¡± The elder Mo said, ¡°It¡¯s rare that my granddaughteres home for dinner, if there¡¯s anymore noise, all of you get out!¡±
The living room finally fell silent, and no one spoke.
It wasn¡¯t until the maid brought over the medical kit and helped Qu Yunyao with her wound.
Qu Yunyao sat there, let out a pained groan when her finger was touched with iodine.
Frown lines deepened as she eximed again and again, non-stop.
To Mo Weiyi, this was so dramatic. It was just a small cut, but the way she screamed made it sound like she was doing it on purpose for all to hear.
Finally, after all her wounds had been treated, Aunt Zhou said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, the cut wasn¡¯t deep. Just avoid water, and it will heal in a couple of days.¡±
Old Master Mo sighed relieved, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Qu Yunyao also chuckled brightly, ¡°Thankyou, Aunt Zhou.¡±
The next second.
¡°That is, I have not finished editing a third of my boyfriend¡¯s script, and the progress will be dyed again¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about work, your hand is injured so don¡¯t push yourself.¡±
Qu Yunyao obediently nodded.
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s sharp eyes unavoidably locked on his daughter again and he suddenly stood up, ¡°Weiyi,e with me to the study.¡±
After Mo Weiyi followed her father out, Qu Yunyao looked at the white gauze wrapped around her hand, her lips spreading into a barely noticeable smirk.
**
Inside the serious and tidy study.
Mo Yaoxiong sat behind his dark desk, looking sternly at his daughter.
¡°Weiyi, since your foot is already healed, starting from next week, go to school and take your sses. No unexined absences or early leaves, understood?¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted, ¡°I understand.¡±
Although she disliked going to ss.
¡°And,¡± Mo Yaoxiong continued, ¡°I¡¯ve always felt that, as a father, my expectations for you have been too low. Your mother passed away early, so I¡¯ve always felt like I owe her and couldn¡¯t bare to be hard on you. But now you¡¯re twenty, and it¡¯s time to n for your life.¡±
¡°Dad, what do you mean by this?¡± Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t understand.

Trantor: 549690339
Mo Yaoxiong opened the drawer behind his desk and took out a small, deep blue USB stick. ¡°This contains major cases of Mo Group¡¯s legal department over thest few years. It contains many of our internal secrets, involving many people. Take a look at it first and familiarise yourself.¡±
Mo Weiyi stared at the USB stick handed to her, ¡°Dad, but I don¡¯t understand these, I¡¡±
¡°You can learn if you don¡¯t understand. Besides, you are studyingw. I hope that in the future you can apply what you have learned and help Yebai as soon as possible.¡±
Finished saying that, Mo Yaoxiong added, ¡°Remember, this document is very important, do not give it to anyone, and even more so, do not lose it casually.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi looked at the petite USB stick and suddenly asked, ¡°Can I ask Xiaobai if I don¡¯t understand something?¡±
Mo Yaoxiong was slightly taken aback, then he looked at his daughter and slowly said, ¡°You can. However, Yebai is very busy, do not bother him with trivial matters. If you really do not understand, you can ask me directly.¡±
¡°¡Okay then.¡± Mo Weiyi, somewhat confused, put the USB stick into her bag.

Xiao Yebai came back before dinner.
Speaking of ¡°many affairs in autumn¡±, Mo Weiyi always felt that thepany seemed to be particrly busy recently.
First, Xiao Yebai had to travel on business, and now he was always called in to work overtime on rest days.
Tonight¡¯s dinner was even more sumptuous than usual to celebrate Qu Yunyao¡¯s sessful piano exam. The table filled with an array of dishes wasparable to a grand banquet.
Mo Weiyi had a little drink with grandfather.
She didn¡¯t have much of a tolerance for alcohol, the kind that would get drunk after a single drink, so after dinner, the alcohol was already kicking in, flushing her cheeks red, shouting that she wanted to go home to sleep.
Although Grandfather Mo was reluctant deep down, he knew that once a granddaughter is married, she is like water that¡¯s been poured out, her heart is no longer at home.
He waved his hand, allowing the young couple to leave first.

Seated in Xiao Yebai¡¯s ck Bentley, as soon as the car started, Mo Weiyi moved closer to Xiao Yebai, hugged his arm with a grin, and cozily called, ¡°Xiaobai¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move around.¡±
The man¡¯s voice was deep and maic, slightly stern.
¡°I¡¯m not moving around. I¡¯m just a bit dizzy. I want to hold you.¡±
Mo Weiyi rested her chin on his arm, her cheeks rosy, and her clear cat eyes shone brightly as she stared at him unblinkingly.
After a while, Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed, ¡°Weiyi, don¡¯t distract me while I¡¯m driving.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not distracting you. Am I not allowed to just look at you? I haven¡¯t done anything.¡± Mo Weiyi blinked innocently and continued to stare at him.
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±
He was driving, and Mo Weiyi had again started to dote on him obsessively.
How could her man be so good-looking?
Clean.
Handsome.
Elegant.
Especially that skin, fair and delicate, without any blemishes, almost identical to hers.
His look while wearing sses was particrly cultured and graceful, enough to make any woman fall for him instantly.
But he was her man!
Mo Weiyi smiled, her gorgeous eyes filled with joy.
What to do?
She felt she was bing bolder, just looking at him like this, she couldn¡¯t help want to pounce on him.
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±
Until the ck Bentley stopped by the roadside with a screech.
Xiao Yebai turned his head, his eyes deep as ink behind the sses.
¡°Xiaobai, what are you going to do?¡± Mo Weiyi bit her lip, her beautiful cat eyes gazed at him, innocent yet slightly bewildered, with a hint of mischief.
Xiao Yebai held the usual indifferent expression. He unbuckled his seatbelt, then reached over to unbuckle Mo Weiyi¡¯s seatbelt as well.
¡°Xiaobai?¡± With her hands wrapped around him, she asked, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±
¡°¡¡± Xiao Yebai kept silent.
¡°Xiaobai?¡±
¡°Are you going to do something naughty?¡±
¡°Xiaobai? Naughty Xiaobai?¡±
Outside, there was suddenly a horn honking and the roar of car tires scraping across the road.

That night, Su Wanwan received a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi.
[Baby Wanwan, what are you and Boss Huo up to?]
Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched repeatedly.
She wanted to act as if she hadn¡¯t seen the message, but Mo Weiyi quickly sent another one.
[Can you guess what Xiaobai and I were just doing?]
Su Wanwan again: ¡°¡¡±
Could she pretend she doesn¡¯t know this woman?
What else were they doing anyway?
But no, Mo Weiyi¡¯s video call came through.
Su Wanwan hung up immediately.
Then¡
Mo Weiyi sent another message.
[I mean, it¡¯s reallyte. I shouldn¡¯t disturb you and Huo Jing doing xxoo!]
xxoo?
Seeing these letters, Su Wanwan wanted to throw her phone against the wall.
In fact, she did just that.
Having thrown her phone onto the couch, it bounced once¡
¡°What are you throwing your phone for?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s low and maic voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelids twitched involuntarily; she stood up subconsciously, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± Huo Jingshen looked pleased.
Seeing his fox-like expression, Su Wanwan felt her heart pound out of fear.
She still clearly remembered thest time at the old mansion, let alone the time before¡
Now, it had been several days since theyst saw each other.
She swiftly walked into the bathroom, locking the door as if afraid he might follow her in.
Sure enough, just as she was about to turn on the shower, she heard the doorknob being turned.
¡°What are you doing!¡± Su Wanwan hurriedly shouted, ¡°You can¡¯te in!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Is she guarding against thieves?
But¡
Never mind.
Why waste energy?
Just then, Su Wanwan¡¯s phone rang. Huo Jingshen picked it up. A message from Mo Weiyi popped up on the screen.
[Have you used the gift I gave you and Huo Jing?]
Gift?
This Miss Mo, though silly, seems to have some EQ.

After taking a shower, Su Wanwan realized she had made a mistake.
She had rushed in and forgotten to bring her pajamas again!
Thinking of the many thin, transparent strap pajamas someone had secretly bought today¡
She absolutely refused to let him bring them to her.
She wrapped herself tightly in a towel, opened the door and stepped out.
She saw Huo Jingshen sitting leisurely on the couch, and he asked soberly, ¡°Baby, do you have a mysterious gift for me?¡±
¡°What? What mysterious gift?¡± Su Wanwan was clueless.
Huo Jingshen kindly reminded her, ¡°Miss Mo, she¡¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Su Wanwan remembered.
She hadn¡¯t had the chance to unwrap the gift Mo Weiyi sentst week.
Su Wanwan walked to the closet, opened the door, pulled open the bottom drawer and took out a box wrapped in a floral patterned package.
Huo Jingshen smiled as he received it and untied the ribbon.
The moment he saw what was inside, his handsome face turned utterly ck.
As for Su Wanwan¡
¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡± She rushed over instantly.
Attempting to grab it back, she bit his hand when he refused to let go.
Huo Jingshen grimaced in pain, ¡°Let go.¡±
But Su Wanwan refused to let go, biting like a wild animal.
Not until the taste of blood spread in her mouth¡
¡°Okay, okay.¡± Huo Jingshen tossed it aside, ¡°I threw it.¡±
Only then did Su Wanwan let go.
Huo Jingshen looked down at his hand, spotting the clear toothmarks and emerging drops of blood.
This girl¡
¡°Baby.¡± Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek, ¡°All you do is bite people all day. Are you a dog or something?¡±

This Mo Weiyi, such a generous gift giver!
Absolutely.
¡°Alright, alright.¡± Huo Jingshen felt like he was cajoling a child, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± In reality, deep down, Huo Jingshen was quite the chauvinist.
Why would he ever need such a thing?
That would make him seem like he wasn¡¯t doing well enough as a husband.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°Then you better throw it away.¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°No, you have to throw it away!¡±
Leaving it behind would be nothing but trouble!
Everything about it made her ufortable!
Huo Jingshen said, ¡°It¡¯s wasteful.¡±
¡°You¡¯re bullying me again!¡± Su Wanwan looked up, her eyes usatory, as tears seemed to be on the verge of falling.
¡°Alright, alright. Don¡¯t cry. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Huo Jingshen kept cajoling her, ¡°Be good, I¡¯ll give it to KO as a chew toyter.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±

The next day, as soon as Su Wenwen woke up, the first thing she did was call Mo Weiyi.
¡°Mo Xiaose! If you dare send me random gifts again I¡¯ll cut off all ties with you! No more! No more!¡±
Repeating important things three times.
Mo Weiyi looked aggrieved, ¡°Wanwan, what¡¯s gotten into you?¡± ¡°Why did you even send me that thing! Ah!¡± Su Wenwen roared. Immediately, Mo Weiyi burst intoughter, ¡°So, did you use it?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Su Wenwen, her face reddening, interrupted her, ¡°I don¡¯t need that kind of thing! If you send it again, I¡¯ll cut off all ties with you! No more! No more!¡±
¡°Tch, every time I ask you, you refuse to tell me. I was thinking that maybe your husband Mr Huo wasn¡¯t doing well, so you were unsatisfied. I took such trouble to help you.¡±
¡°My husband is amazing, so stop buying those things! Did you hear me?¡± ¡°Really?¡±
Mo Weiyi actually doubted?
Su Wenwen gritted her teeth and yelled into the phone, ¡°Yes, really!¡±
¡°Then I can rest easy.¡± Mo Weiyi said cheerfully, ¡°I¡¯ll start attending sses at school next week, so we can have lunch together every day.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to have lunch with you! Humph!¡± Su Wenwen was still angry, and ended the call abruptly.
Mo Weiyi:

A new week was quickly approaching.
Early in the morning, Su Wenwen came downstairs cheerfully.
Fu Ziyang greeted his rarely seen aunt with a cute, ¡°Good morning, Auntie.¡± ¡°Good morning, Ziyang.¡± Su Wenwen replied cheerfully while rubbing his little head, ¡°Auntie has her driver¡¯s license now, shall I take you to schoolter?¡±
Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes, ¡°I¡¯ll go with Uncle Yang.¡±
Su Wenwen insisted, ¡°Auntie is a pretty good driver, don¡¯t you want to experience it?¡±
Back in the day, she was the only Chinese racer to make it into the top three in an amateur car race in Los Angeles.
And also the only woman.
Just as Su Wenwen was feeling proud¡
¡°You¡¯re not allowed to drive.¡±
Su Wenwen was taken aback, ¡°Why?¡±
Huo Jingshen came out of the kitchen, his eyebrows and eyes clear, his long slender fingers holding two tes of hot egg pancakes.
¡°You just got your driver¡¯s license, I don¡¯t trust your driving skills.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve known how to drive for ages! I only took the domestic driver¡¯s license test now.¡± Su Wenwen argued.
¡°Anyway, I have to verify your skills before you can drive.¡± Huo Jingshen put down the tes, ¡°Come and eat.¡±
Su Wenwen walked over and gave him a re.
She took a bite of the egg pancake, then quickly asked, ¡°When are you going to verify then?¡±
Huo Jingshen pushed a ss of milk towards her, ¡°I don¡¯t have time today.¡± ¡°Then when will you have time?¡± Su Wenwen persisted.
Huo Jingshen replied, ¡°Tonight.¡±
He woulde back tonight and stay the night at home.
Su Wenwen¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Okay.¡±

That day, Huo Jingshen drove her to school.
Su Wanwan got out of the car and had just taken a few steps when a familiar ck Audi stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, and first came out a foot d in a tiny red heel, revealing a pale, slender ankle, and then a slim, straight leg shed by. Mo Weiyi appeared before her eyes, wearing a brown knitted dress and draped in a red printed tassel scarf.
On her petite nose sat round, brown sunsses. Her lips, painted in ssic red, exuded an air of dominance, with her lush, seaweed-like curls cascading over her shoulders. Additionally, the limited-edition pink rabbit shaped backpack she was carrying¡
Passersby kept casting nces their way as she took off her sunsses and greeted Su Wanwan giggly, ¡°Baby Wanwan! Good morning!¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
True to her reputation as the ¡°Little Princess¡± of the Mo Family, even going to school was a grand affair!
¡°Rong An, you can drive ahead. Wait at the entrance of the dormitory with Aunt Zhou and the others.¡±
¡°Yes, Princess.¡±
The ck Audi slowly drove off as Mo Weiyi cheerfully walked up to Su Wanwan, ¡°Baby Wanwan, why do you look like this when you see me?¡±
Su Wanwan replied with a forced smile, ¡°Are you really here for school?¡±
¡°Yeah, my dad told me to study hard and get a diploma. Next term, I¡¯m supposed to intern in thepany¡¯s legal department.¡±
¡°You?¡± Su Wanwan looked doubtful.
¡°Yes, unfortunately.¡± Mo Weiyi was self-aware, ¡°Just looking at those legal provisions makes me drowsy. If only I hadn¡¯t chosen this major.¡±
¡°What else could you have chosen? Except for beauty, what else are you good at?¡±
Due to that massage stick incident, Su Wanwan waspletely unreserved in her teasing.
Mo Weiyiughed, ¡°Well, it seems apart from beauty, I am good for nothing.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes: ¡°¡¡±
The two girls continued chatting and walking into the school.
On the opposite side of the street, a young man in a denim jacket stood. He pulled the cigarette from his mouth, threw it on the ground and crushed it under his boot.

After the g-raising ceremony, Su Wanwan went to her English ss in the teaching building, while Mo Weiyi went to the girls¡¯ dormitory.
Mo Weiyi walked into the dormitory with her two maids, causingplex expressions to cross the faces of the three girls inside.
Ever since thatst incident, they realized how vast the gap was between them.
These girls were from ordinary families, who barely managed to get by with two to three thousand yuan a month. The thought of buying lipstick would have to be considered and weighed carefully.
And what of Mo Weiyi? Born privileged, beautiful, with bodyguards fetching her in luxury cars, even moving into a dormitory required the attendance of two to three maids.
Consider the earrings she had, worth more than 200,000; such a beautiful item, ruined without a blink of her eye. It was a clear exhibition of her reckless wealth.
As for Li Feifei, she despised Mo Weiyi to the core.
If it hadn¡¯t been for her, Feifei wouldn¡¯t have lost face in front of her roommates!
However, Mo Weiyi was smiling at them. Her eyes crinkled with kindness, and her speech polite, ¡°You are all eating breakfast. I¡¯ll just put away my belongings.¡±
Then she began instructing her maids.
¡°Aunt Zhou, this cupboard is mine. Help me tidy everything inside.¡±
¡°Aunt Yang, check for anything that¡¯s unnecessary or expired and throw it away.¡±
¡°Those sheets, bedding, etc., throw them away. We¡¯ll use new ones.¡±
¡°And this¡¡±
The three roommates sat there, watching as she busied around like a princess from a TV drama.
The two maids, however, nodded and did as they were told.
Such a scene could only be witnessed with Mo Weiyi.
Chapter 287 - 287, Reincarnation is a technical activity

Trantor: 549690339
You could only witness such a scene happening with Mo Weiyi.
Everything was finally packed up, Mo Weiyi looked at everyone and smiled slightly, ¡°Well, I¡¯m moving out. Although I can¡¯t live with you anymore, we¡¯ll still see each other in ss. So when you have time, maybe we can finish that meal we didn¡¯t get topletest time. You choose the ce, just call me when you¡¯re ready. I¡¯m off now, bye.¡±
After saying this, she left with her entourage, carrying big and small bags, her departure was an impressive sight.
The two roommates didn¡¯t dare to speak until¡
With a ¡°ng¡±, Li Feifei angrily tossed her spoon on the floor.
¡°Feifei¡¡±
Li Feifei sneered, ¡°What¡¯s there to act all haughty about! All she did was to be born privileged!¡±
The two roommates were angry, but dared not speak: ¡°¡¡±
Isn¡¯t being born into privilege, enough already?
Moreover, being well-born is also a skill.
If you can¡¯tpete, you have to ept it.

Mo Weiyi¡¯s new dorm room was right next to Su Wanwan¡¯s.
Without thinking much, it¡¯s obvious she must have used some shady methods to secure this location.
However, neither of them were staying on campus that night.
Su Wanwan finished her afternoon sses early and went home to practice driving.
That way, Huo Jingshen wouldn¡¯t have an excuse to prevent her from driving at night.
As for Mo Weiyi, having attended five sses for the first time after such a long time, she felt depleted.
After making a call to Rong An, she went to the school¡¯s tea shop to get a matchatte and headed towards the school gate.
Being attractive, fashionably dressed, and adorned with expensive essories, she drew the attention of passersby.
Mo Weiyi was used to such gazes from a young age, she stood upright there, took out her cellphone, and sent a message to Rong An.
[How much longer?]
Rong An replied, [I¡¯m at the intersection.]
Mo Weiyi had just put down her phone.
¡°Miss.¡±
She lifted her head impatiently.
A young man was standing in front of her, wearing a denim jacket and sunsses, his face obscured.
However, judging by his attire and the e on his face, Mo Weiyi instantly furrowed her brows.
¡°What do you want?¡± She said impatiently.
¡°Miss, I came to the school looking for someone, do you know thisdy?¡± He said, showing his phone.
Mo Weiyi instinctively looked over.
Surprisingly, it was a zoomed in photo¡
¡°Are you sick?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s face was blushing.
But not from shyness, but from anger.
Disgusted to the point of anger!
Even the most naive could tell, she was being sexually harassed by this man.
The man, mistaking her agitation for shyness, showed his uneven teeth as heughed, whispering, ¡°Miss, this is a selfie of mine, what do you think¡¡±
¡°Get lost!¡±
As Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she quickly turned around.
But unexpectedly, the man suddenly grabbed her hand.
The strange touch made Mo Weiyi feel like vomiting.
She tried to jerk her hand back, but she was no match for his strength.
Song Quan was holding her small hand, feeling excited inside.
It was soft, tender, and smooth.
The daughters of wealthy families sure were different ¨C their skin was so smooth it felt like condensed milk¡
The more Song Quan thought about it, the more captivated he was, his face beaming with a pervy grin.
Lately, he¡¯s been loitering around the school. He had even followed a few male students into campus a few times, but he rarely saw Mo Weiyi.
From time to time, he would catch a fleeting glimpse of her, but before he could catch up, she would be quickly whisked away in that Audi.
He finally had a chance today, how could he possibly let it slip away?
Chapter 288 - 288, cut off that arm

Trantor: 549690339
Looking at Mo Weiyi¡¯s coy manner¡
Song Quan couldn¡¯t help but smile, wanting to pull her into his arms. His words also started bing vulgar, ¡°Miss, why don¡¯t youe with big brother? I promise to make you¡¡±
Until a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.
Song Quan was annoyed. Turning his head to curse, he growled, ¡°Damn it,
who¡¯s the idiot who ruined my good¡¡±
A fist smashed into his face.
It was fast, ruthless, and urate.
Song Quan felt an unbearable pain in his nose, soon followed by a strong smell
of metal. A liquid slipped down his face.
He reached out and touched it.
Blood!
Song Quan cursed, ¡°Damn it!¡±
He looked at the man in ck in front of him, ¡°Who the hell are you?¡±
Rong An paid no attention to him and instead turned to Mo Weiyi, ¡°Princess, are you alright?¡±
With a look of disgust, Mo Weiyi shook her hand, ¡°Why did it take you so long
toe over!¡±
Rong An quickly lowered his head, ¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡±
¡°This scoundrel, I don¡¯t know where he appeared from, he¡¯s infuriating! Mo Weiyi was disgusted, angry, and wronged. With teary eyes she said, ¡±Teach him a lesson. Let¡¯s see if he dares to harass people at the school gate again!¡± Finished speaking, she turned to leave. Even a glimpse of Song Quan made her feel nauseous. She quickly opened the car door and sat inside.
Song Quan wanted to chase after her, but Rong An stepped forward and grabbed his cor. His fist was already descending again.
Song Quan struggled in pain.
He usually fought with his friends, but he didn¡¯t expect to bepletely unable to break free.
He just didn¡¯t have the strength.
He didn¡¯t know that Rong An was a professional bodyguard. He held Song Quan¡¯s cor with one hand, immobilizing him, and began to hit him with his right fist.
Punch after punch, simple and brutal,nding repeatedly on his face.
At first, Song Quan cursed back. But when he realized the man didn¡¯t listen and kept hitting him with no sign of stopping¡
Song Quan was in unbearable pain, gradually his vision became a blurry red, and his face numbed. Eventually, he didn¡¯t dare curse back and started whimpering for help.
But who dared to step forward from the crowd around them?
The school security nced at the two men who didn¡¯t resemble students, waved his hand to disperse the onlookers, choosing to avoid the issue if possible.
But a passerby yelled out, ¡°Quick, call no (emergency number)!¡±
At the sound of this, Song Quan, though in pain, yelled, ¡°Don¡¯t call the police!
Don¡¯t¡¡±
Passerby:
Until finally, Song Quan, with nted eyes and a crooked mouth, his face covered in blood. His groaning echoed with every hit he took. Rong An finally stopped.
Upon releasing him, Song Quan copsed to the ground.
He thought it was finally over. He didn¡¯t expect the man to suddenly speak.
¡°Your hand touched the princess.¡±
The voice was low and cold, devoid of any emotion.
Before Song Quan could react, his right arm was suddenly lifted.
He vaguely felt a bad premonition, but, before he had any time to think, there was a ¡°crack¡± sound.
¡°Ahh!¡±
Song Quan let out a terrifying scream, finally unable to hold on, and fell unconscious.
**
In the car, Mo Weiyi was still vigorously wiping her right hand with a wet tissue.
Her hand, which the man had touched for such a long time, felt filthy!
Opening the car door, Rong An got in.
Mo Weiyi looked up, ¡°Why did it take so long?¡¯
Rong An didn¡¯t speak, just started up the engine.
Mo Weiyi turned her head and looked outside.
Arge group of people had gathered there.
She quickly turned her head back, ¡°Rong An, you didn¡¯t kill him, did you?¡±
Driving the car away, Rong An replied, ¡°No.
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Rong An had been following her for many years, even longer than Xiao Yebai. When he arrived at the Mo Family, the old master assigned him as her bodyguard.
In the old master¡¯s words, among all the bodyguards, Rong An was the best at boxing and of course, the most handsome.
After all, Mo Weiyi had been obsessed with good looks since she was a child. ¡°I¡¯ve crippled his arm,¡± Rong An continued in a matter-of-fact tone. Mo Weiyi nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t tell Xiaobai about this. I¡¯m fine, he just touched my hand.¡±
¡°As you wish, princess.¡±
Mo Weiyi believed the man was a mentally disturbed exhibitionist.
There were stories she had heard. Some exhibitionists liked to hang around school gates, wearing thick coats with nothing underneath, waiting for girls to pass by just to open their coats and leer.
The more frightened the girls were, the more enjoyable these perverts found it. After giving such people a hard lesson, they were sure to behave in the future. Hence she didn¡¯t think much of it. It was just that when she got home, she washed her hand over and over.
So when Xiao Yebai returned home at 8 pm, he found his wife¡smelling strongly of hand soap.
**
That night, in some hospital in Nancheng.
In excruciating pain, Song Quan jolted awake.
¡°Your arm has been reattached.¡± The doctor¡¯s voice reached his ears, ¡°Your face, however, is badly injured. Especially your nasal bone, it¡¯s broken. It will take a while for it to heal.¡±
¡°Alright, thank you, doctor.¡±
With his whole face covered in gauze and his arm in extreme pain, Song Quan, with a cracked eye corner straining to see, recognized a young girl standing in his ward.
She looked in her early twenties.
After the doctor left, he grimaced as he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±
Smiling, Li Feifei asked, ¡°Are you awake?¡±
Chapter 289 - 289, betrayed by someone

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Shut up!¡± Song Quan squalled, and sat up from the hospital bed.
¡°My name is Li Feifei, a student at Nancheng University. I saw you injured, lying on the ground with no one helping you, so I took you to the hospital.¡± Song Quan grumbled.
He tried to move his arm, but the pain made him break out in a sweat.
¡°The doctor said your arm has just been fixed; you should try not to move it for now,¡± Li Feifei promptly reminded him with concern.
Song Quan looked at her, irritated, ¡°You can go now.¡±
Li Feifei didn¡¯t get angry, ¡°Fine, can you first pay me the medical bill in advance? It¡¯s a total of 865 yuan.¡±
Song Quan sneered, ¡°Where is my phone?¡±
Li Feifei handed over his phone.
The phone had fallen to the ground when he had been beaten earlier, and the screen was now cracked, but it still worked.
Song Quan took the phone, opened WeChat to pay, when Li Feifei spoke again, ¡°Are you in love with Mo Weiyi?¡±
Song Quan looked up, ¡°Who?¡±
¡°The girl you were chasing at the school gate earlier. Her name is Mo Weiyi; she¡¯s my ssmate.¡±
Song Quan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Your ssmate?¡±
¡°Yes, she¡¯s also my roommate,¡± Li Feifei said deliberately, ¡°She¡¯s our school¡¯s beauty, very pretty, has tons of suitors. No wonder you aren¡¯t afraid of death, to get beaten up like that?¡±
Song Quan immediately countered, ¡°Damn it, that guy ambushed me, otherwise how would I get hurt this badly?¡±
Li Feifeiughed but didn¡¯tment.
As expected, Song Quan asked, ¡°Do you know who that guy who hit me was?¡±
Li Feifei pretended to think before replying, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, he could be her new boyfriend. She, the school beauty, is very picky and hard to pursue. If you really like her, it certainly won¡¯t work if you¡¯re this aggressive. She has too many people protecting her.¡±
¡°Like I need you to tell me that?¡± Song Quan cursed angrily, ¡°Damnit, I¡¯ll call my bros one day and beat that bastard up¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t ever do that!¡± Li Feifei interrupted him abruptly, ¡°If you really like Mo Weiyi, we¡¯re going out for dinner in a few days, you coulde along then and confess your feelings for her. Why resort to violence?¡±
¡°Where are you going for dinner?¡± Song Quan excitedly stood up.
¡°Even after getting hit this badly, you¡¯re still so relentless?¡±
Song Quan snorted, ¡°There¡¯s no woman that Song Quan wants and doesn¡¯t get!¡±
What a tenacious sex maniac.
Song Quan is that typical man who only thinks with his lower half.
Since his teens, he¡¯s always pursued any woman he desires, no matter what the difficulties, and never gives up until he hits a wall. The thought of failing to get something eats him up inside.
From a certain perspective, this strong sexual interest could already be considered a fetish.
Having made her calctions, Li Feifei quickly came up with a n.
¡°This is my phone number, same as WeChat.¡±
She left a string of numbers, ¡°Don¡¯t hang around the school gate these days, Weiyi hates men who are dirty andckluster, and she values style. You should recover first, then buy some respectable clothes. When we have dinner, I¡¯ll introduce you.¡±
Song Quan quickly memorised the number, and casually asked, ¡°Why are you helping me?¡±
Li Feifei replied, ¡°I¡¯m not helping you, I just feel that it¡¯s pitiful for you to be beaten up like this. After all, there¡¯s nothing wrong with love.¡±
Song Quan nodded, his face wrapped in bandages looked smug and contemptuous.
Typical college student, reading too much makes them stupid. A few words and they¡¯re tricked.
**
Mo Weiyi waspletely unaware that she had been sold out.
For the next few days, she diligently went to school, ate lunch at the cafeteria with Su Wanwan, and asionally participated in activities organised by the ss and school.
As for the incident that afternoon, it never happened again.
Time passed and October swiftly ended. Winter seemed to arrive particrly early in Nancheng this year.
In early November, the temperature had already dropped to around ten degrees. asionally, there was still wind, making it bitterly cold.
It was a Friday.
In the afternoon, after twow sses, Mo Weiyi was packing up her backpack, when two of her roommates came over, hesitantly starting a conversation, ¡°Weiyi?¡±
Mo Weiyi looked up, seeing them, she immediately beamed, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
The two roommates nced at each other, and then one of them spoke on behalf of both, ¡°Would you like to have dinner with us tonight? It¡¯s Feifei¡¯s birthday today, and since you¡¯ve been away from the dorms for a while, we¡¯re all still ssmates after all. Feifei mentioned that thest incident wasn¡¯t pleasant, so she was a bit hesitant to invite you.¡±
¡°Sure,¡± Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, ¡°But I didn¡¯t buy a birthday gift.¡±
She thought for a moment, ¡°Why don¡¯t I treat everyone? It can be my birthday gift to Feifei, is that okay?¡±
The roommates were delighted:
¡°Yes, yes.¡±
¡°Weiyi, you¡¯re so kind.¡±
¡°We already told Feifei that you¡¯re not the petty kind.¡±
¡°Exactly.¡±
Mo Weiyi smirked inwardly but maintained a sweet smile on her face, ¡°I did say that it would be my treat. How about Dihong tonight? My family owns it and we have chefs from Michelin. It¡¯s pretty good.¡±
¡°But Feifei has already booked a ce,¡± one of the roommates said awkwardly.
¡°Where?¡±
¡°She booked a room at Imperial KTV, and invited several ssmates. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±
¡°Of course not. Then let¡¯s go to Imperial KTV,¡± Mo Weiyi agreed readily.
Although she hadn¡¯t been to ces like KTV for a long time, and wasn¡¯t very familiar with her ssmates.
Chapter 290 - 290,tone-deaf

Trantor: 549690339 |
After her roommates left, Mo Weiyi called Rong An, asking him to pick her up in the evening.
Rong An was uneasy, ¡°I¡¯lle over now, KTVisn¡¯t very safe.¡±
¡°What¡¯s unsafe about it? They¡¯re all ssmates.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be there now.¡± Rong An repeated.
¡°There¡¯s no need, the KTV is near the school; besides, who in Nancheng doesn¡¯t know me?¡±
What Mo Weiyi said was not unreasonable.
The Mo Family was now the talk of Nancheng, except for the wealthiest Huo Family, they wereparable to several other major families.
Added with the fact that she was the only pearl in the Mo family¡¯s palm and the news of her marriage to Xiao Yebai, it was not an exaggeration to say it was ¡°known to every household¡±.
Especially in entertainment venues like KTV, who wouldn¡¯t bow to her when they saw her?
But, Rong An was still uneasy and continued to repeat, ¡°I¡¯ll be there now.¡±
Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes and could only agree, ¡°Alright, youe over then.¡± ¡°Alright.¡±
After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi found there was still time, so she called Su Wenwen, and took the chance toin about her honest bodyguard.
In the end, she said, ¡°Rong An seems to be almost thirty this year, why hasn¡¯t he married yet? He doesn¡¯t even have a girlfriend. That won¡¯t do. I¡¯ve been married for two years, and my bodyguard is still single, this doesn¡¯t sound good, does it? I¡¯ll mention it to my grandfather when I get back to set him up with a beautiful girlfriend.¡±
At the Mo family¡¯s old house, Rong An had just sat in the Audi when he sneezed several times in a row.
He looked up at the sky.
It was dull, it looked like it was going to rain soon.
The weather was getting cooler recently, princess couldn¡¯t catch a cold.
Thinking it over, he got out of the car, went back and took an umbre with him.
**
At six in the evening, Rong An drove Mo Weiyi to Imperial KTV.
It was only two blocks away from Nancheng University.
After parking the car, Mo Weiyi excitedly got out of the car, and Rong An quickly followed her.
When they arrived at the agreed private room, and pushed open the door, several ssmates, including the birthday girl, were already there.
As soon as Li Feifei saw Rong An, her face changed.
The others were also somewhat wary.
Although Rong An didn¡¯t follow her in, once the door to the room closed, Li Feifei began, ¡°Weiyi, can you tell your bodyguard not to stand by the door?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mo Weiyi lifted her brows.
Another roommate spoke up, ¡°Seeing him, I feel a little scared.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Li Feifei echoed, ¡°I saw the video on the forum of him beating someone, it¡¯s just too scary.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Beat someone up?¡±
¡°When did this happen?¡±
¡°Who did he beat up?¡±
The female ssmates immediately began asking questions in session.
Li Feifei was hesitantly saying, ¡°It seemed to happen a few weeks ago. He beat up a man at the school gate, and I only found out through a post on a forum. The video was too scary, the man¡¯s face was full of blood, and his arm was broken.¡±
At the time, because Mo Weiyi got in the car, not many people knew that Song Quan was beaten up because he harassed her. They only knew that Rong An beat him up for nearly half an hour, leaving him with a bloody face, lying on the floor barely breathing, and broke his arm before leaving.
The photos and videos were even posted on the school forum, so when thedies heard that this bodyguard was the protagonist of the beating that day, they all looked pale.
Li Feifei spoke up weakly, ¡°Weiyi, can you have your bodyguard wait outside or in the car?¡±
Why are you so nosy?¡± Mo Weiyi clicked her tongue, naturally defending her bodyguard, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him standing outside, he hasn¡¯te in to scare you. Besides, he¡¯s not the type to randomly beat people. That day, it was because that hooligan tried to molest me, I asked him to teach the guv a lesson.¡±
¡°But there will be ssmates going in and outter, they will see him. A lot of girls are timid.¡± As Li Feifei spoke, she lowered her head as if she was indignantly resigned.
Mo Weiyi stood up impatiently, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go talk to him.¡±
She left the room, returned quickly and sat back on the sofa, ¡°I¡¯ve told him to
wait in the car, you don¡¯t need to be afraid now.¡±
¡°Thank you, Weiyi.¡± Li Feifei smiled.
A glint shed in her eyes.
Mo Weiyi, aren¡¯t you the proud princess?
If you were defiled by that hooligan tonight and your purity tarnished, I wonder how you will hold your head high at school?
I expect the whole ss will see your disgrace!
Won¡¯t the Mo family feel ashamed too?
**
Soon enough, more students arrived in session, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively.
Mo Weiyi fully yed the part of a tycoon, ordering a full table of food. There were also plenty of drinks avable.
The students were all having fun. Even some male students dared to invite Mo
Weiyi to sing a romantic song.
Mo Weiyi straightforwardly refused, ¡°I can¡¯t sing.¡±
The passionate male student handed over the microphone, ¡°It¡¯s simple, do you know how to sing ¡°You¡¯re the Song in My Heart¡±?¡±
Mo Weiyi shook her head, ¡°No.¡±
The male student scratched his head, ¡°Then, do you know how to sing ¡°Only Feel For You¡±?¡±
Mo Weiyi continued shaking her head, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡±
The male student was stunned, ¡°What can you sing then? You choose.¡±
Mo Weiyi chuckled, ¡°I told you I can¡¯t sing, you guys go ahead.¡±
She was born without any musical cells, especially singing off-key and easily
going off tune. The only talent she could show off was dance.
So how could she risk making a fool of herself in public?
Seeing that the male student still hadn¡¯t given up, she stood up directly, ¡°I¡¯m going to the restroom.¡±
Seeing this, Li Feifei quickly took out her phone and sent a message, then quickly stood up and followed.

¡°¡±Weiyi.¡±
In the corridor, Mo Weiyi stopped in his tracks.
Li Feifei caught up and asked, ¡°Weiyi, have you found your internship cement for next semester?¡±
Mo Weiyi answered, ¡°I¡¯m going to the Mo Family¡¯spany.¡±
¡°Makes sense.¡± Li Feifei chuckled awkwardly, ¡°Your family has apany, you really don¡¯t have to worry about an internship. Silly me for asking.¡±
Mo Weiyi smiled, not saying anything.
Li Feifei rattled on, ¡°I¡¯m different, I don¡¯t even know if I can find a goodw firm; I¡¯ve heard it¡¯s harder and harder to get into these ces, especially for interns; they have high standards.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Yeah, I went to Professor Wang before and asked him to help me find a cement. But those guys are only looking for people who fall within the top 10 of academic scores across all disciplines, otherwise they don¡¯t even bother.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± Mo Weiyi acknowledged.
Ever since the incident with the earring, for the first time in a while, she noticed that Li Feifei appeared to be warming up to her again.
The two arrived at the washroom, only to find a queue.
Because it was Friday, many people from this building, and several nearby office buildings, decided to rx by doing karaoke over the weekend.
And this women¡¯s washroom only had two stalls, so it was packed.
Li Feifei looked around and suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go downstairs? The washrooms there have more stalls. Waiting here will take forever.¡±
Mo Weiyi agreed and nodded, ¡°Sure.¡±
The two of them made their way down the corridor, and straight down the stairs.
The floor below was all rental offices, at this time mostpanies had knocked off for the day. Even though all the lights were on, there were barely any people in sight.
Mo Weiyi felt a bit scared subconsciously. But noticing her ssmate was there, she clenched her mobile and entered the female washroom with Li Feifei.
As anticipated, there were many stalls inside, lining both sides.
Mo Weiyi entered one of them. Just as she sat down, she heard Li Feifei¡¯s phone ring all of a sudden.
¡°Weiyi, I¡¯m going out to answer a call, I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
The sound of the door opening and closing again echoed from the outside.
Mo Weiyi quickly finished her business.
She stood up, fixing herself up, and heard the entrance door open again.
Mo Weiyi thought it was Li Feifei. However, just as she put her hand on the door handle preparing to leave, an eerieughter suddenly resonated.
It was a man¡¯sughter!
And he was chuckling in a low, hoarse voice, brimming with a sense of excitement and lewdness that he tried to suppress but couldn¡¯t quite manage.
The washroom was incredibly quiet. The suddenughter truly shook Mo Weiyi to the core.
Initially, she thought a man identally entered the women¡¯s washroom. She was about to speak up and inform him, but he started talking.
¡°Miss Mo, it¡¯s me.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s fingers clenched tightly.
He knows her?
This voice¡ kind of sounds familiar¡
Before she could ponder further,
¡°Miss Mo, your boyfriend beat me up pretty badlyst time, huh? But he isn¡¯t here today, right? Can¡¯te to your rescue, huh? So here I am, visiting you.¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately recognized him.
It was the perverted, lewd man from in front of the school that day.
But what was he doing here?
Could he have been following her?
Mo Weiyi immediately picked up her phone, intending to call Rong An.
She was alone in the washroom with this man. Fearing he would hear her, she stayed silent. She set her phone to silent mode and dialed Rong An¡¯s number, holding her breath, waiting for him to answer.
Thankfully, in this washroom there were many stalls. As long as she kept quiet, the perverted man wouldn¡¯t know which one she was in. If she could just buy some time and wait for Rong An to arrive, she would be safe.
But surprisingly, Rong An, who always answered his phone instantly, was not picking up today.
Mo Weiyi was getting desperate. At that moment, Song Quan outside started talking again.
¡°Baby,e out quickly. I knowyou¡¯re in here. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take very good care of you, and I¡¯m sure you¡¯d like it¡ feel good,¡± he said.
What a pervert!
Mo Weiyi was terrified to death and didn¡¯t dare make a sound.
Why was she so unlucky to be followed by a pervert?
If she had known, she would not have let Rong An leave. Wait, where was Li Feifei?
¡°You¡¯re noting out? Then I¡¯ll just find you one by one. I¡¯ve been dreaming of you for months. When I make you hurtter, don¡¯t cry ok?¡±
Listening to him made Mo Weiyi queasy.
But more than that, it was fear.
Now there were sounds of stall doors being pulled open and roughly mmed shut.
One after another.
While inspecting the stalls, Song Quan¡¯s lewd words kept filling the air.
The collision sound of the doors in the eerie night was particrly terrifying.
Especially adding the sexually suggestive words andughter of the man.
His footsteps were getting closer to the door where Mo Weiyi was hiding.
Mo Weiyi immediately dialed again.
She believed that, as soon as the call went through, Rong An, being a professional bodyguard, would arrive before any harm coulde to her.
But.
Still no answer.
Mo Weiyipletely lost hope.
Another door was mmed open, then Song Quan burst outughing and said, ¡°Baby, you¡¯ve made me work hard to find you! But there¡¯s only this row now, which one is it?¡±
Mo Weiyi was scared to tears.
She had never been so terrified, it was like waiting for her execution.
Enduring this terrifying predicament was unbearable.
With no response from the closest source of help, Rong An, she held onto herst hope and shakingly selected ¡°Dear Xiaobai¡± from her call log.

The phone rang twice before being answered.
Simultaneously, another loud ¡°ng¡± resonated from outside.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s deep and clear voice came through the receiver.
But Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t dare to speak.
¡°Weiyi?¡± Xiao Yebai asked again.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s body was shaking intensely, almost uncontrobly.
She stared at the white door in front of her, which was then forcefully pulled from outside.
A ¡°ng¡± echoed.
Song Quan immediately let out a burst of menacingughter.
¡°So, you¡¯re here, Miss Mo. Do you thinkl won¡¯t find you if you hide and keep quiet?¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t dare to speak until a man¡¯s hand suddenly reached under the divided door!
¡°Ah¡. Xiaobai, save me¡¡±
**
At Mo Group Headquarters.
In the solemn and quiet conference room.
Zhong Kai was sitting nearby, recording minutes on hisputer. The attendees included Mo Group executives and key departmental heads.
Everyone was called to a meeting right before the end of the workday on a weekend.
It was already 7 pm, everyone was starving but not daring to voice anyints.
The head of the nning department was presenting rigorously, while Xiao Yebai was sitting below, listening expressionlessly.
Then, a ringtone of a mobile phone went off.
It was Xiao Yebai¡¯s personal phone.
In the past, Xiao never brought his personal phone to meetings as it might distract him from work.
But recently, he seemed to always have his personal phone nearby.
Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, nced at it, and answered.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Everyone instantly realized it was a call from the Little Princess.
There was no response from the other end of the phone.
Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly and called again, ¡°Weiyi?¡±
Then he heard a man¡¯s voice in the background, but he couldn¡¯t make out what he was saying.
While he was frowning, a sudden hit soundedfollowed by an hysterical scream and Mo Weiyi¡¯s trembling voice crying out, ¡°Ah¡ Xiaobai, save me¡¡±
Before he could say anything, the call was disconnected.
People in the meeting room saw Xiao Yebai¡¯s expressionless face turn gloomy and icy in an instant.
He redialed right away, but got an automated message,¡±Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off.¡±
Almost without hesitation, he dialed Rong An¡¯s number.
Again, no answer.
The knuckles of his hand sping the phone turned white from pressure. In just a few seconds, Xiao Yebai analyzed all the possibilities.
Mo Weiyi had just called but didn¡¯t say anything.
He vaguely heard a man¡¯s voice on her side of the call.
Then the call was cut off after she screamed.
Mo Weiyi was not the type to joke around, it was quite obvious that something was wrong.
¡°President Xiao¡¡±
Before Zhong Kai could finish, the man had already stood up.
Without saying a word, he left the room.
The others looked at each other in astonishment.
**
The ck Bentley, like a released arrow, sped out of the parking lot.
In the car, Xiao Yebai dialed another number.
The call was quickly answered, a man¡¯s arrogant voice came through, ¡°Bro, I just got home. What dirty work do you have for me¡¡±
¡°Five minutes ago, Weiyi called me. Check where the call was made and let me know in a minute.¡±
¡°Damn, how could you say so much all at once? But what? Check the location of the call? Bro, I¡¯m a police officer, not a secret agent, how am I supposed to do that without my equipment at home¡¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t figure it out, don¡¯t see me ever again.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was calm and deep, but carried an ominous threat.
After hanging up, the ck Bentley raced towards Nancheng University.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s face was tight, his thin lips were a straight line, and his sses were even more sharp and cold under the car lights.
Within a minute, his phone rang again.
¡°Found it. It¡¯s Ziguang Building at the intersection of Sun Road and Jircy Road, but I don¡¯t know which floor.¡±
¡°What facilities does the building have?¡±
¡°Well, the building is all offices but there¡¯s a KTV on the top floor. Is your wife going singing¡¡±
Xiao Yebai hung up the phone without saying a word.
¡°Damn! A heartless guy with a pretty face!¡± On the other end of the phone, a certain man was cursing.
**
Once Rong An returned to his car, he noticed several missed calls from Mo Weiyi.
Years of professional experience immediately put him on high alert, especially remembering the man who had inexplicably asked him to move his car¡
When he tried to call back, he got the automated message, ¡°Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off.¡±
He quickly got out of the car, took the elevator to the KTV, kicked open the room door and burst in.
All the students were taken aback.
Seeing the murderous expression on Rong An¡¯s face, some of the girls screamed in fright.
Rong An swiftly scanned the room, stepped in, and grabbed one of the girls,
¡°Where¡¯s the princess?¡±
Li Feifei felt as if her arm was being mped by a pair of iron tongs; her face turned pale with pain instantly. She stammered out, ¡°She¡ she went to the bathroom.¡±
Rong An dragged her out of the room.
Li Feifei was both in pain and scared, struggling to break free. However, Rong An didn¡¯t care about her resistance and dragged her out of the room like a sack of potatoes.
Chapter 293 - 293, Xiaobai who seems like a fairy and close to a demon

Trantor: 549690339
On the way to the washroom, many people nced in their direction. Li Feifei deliberately dyed, ranting loudly, ¡°What are you doing? She¡¯s only gone to the washroom. Are you mad? You¡¯re hurting me, let go, let me go right now¡ Ow, it hurts¡¡±
Rong An didn¡¯t respond, his face cold as he quickly dragged her to the women¡¯s washroom.
There were women queuing up at the entrance.
However, Mo Weiyi was not in sight.
¡°Where is she?¡± Rong An demanded, tightening his grip.
Li Feifei¡¯s eyes welled up with tears, but she managed to sound innocent, ¡°Can¡¯t you just call her? What do you want from me? How would I know?¡±
Rong An, his face still cold, was about to speak when his mobile phone rang.
He answered the call.
Li Feifei didn¡¯t know what was said on the other end, but she saw Rong An¡¯s already gloomy face be even more terrifying.
After he hung up, Li Feifei quickly acted the part of a victim, ¡°She said she needed to use the washroom. I wondered why she hadn¡¯t returned. Perhaps something has happened? I honestly don¡¯t know.¡±
Rong An ignored her.
¡°There are so many people here,¡± Li Feifei said, blinking, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call her?¡±
Just then, a woman¡¯s voice nearby broke the tension, ¡°Looks like it¡¯s started to rain outside.¡±
¡°Really? How did it suddenly start raining?¡±
¡°I saw the bad weather on my way out, so I smartly brought an umbre.¡±
Rong An thought of the umbre in his car, his forehead furrowing and darkness filling his eyes. He dragged Li Feifei outside.
He was rough, uncivilized, his stepsrge and fast.
Li Feifei was both scared and in pain, having no idea what this madman was up to. Seeing some people looking their way, she started screaming frantically, ¡°Someone help me! He¡¯s a pervert!¡±
The KTV had security. If she could cause a scene, slowing things down, surely everything would be over downstairs by now.
As expected, with her cries, a security guard approached.
Not just one, a whole group of them!
All dressed uniformly in ck, batons in hand.
They were like dark clouds looming, an intimidation of force
¡°Help me, this man¡¯s insane!¡± Li Feifei cried excitedly.
A group of security guards quickly blocked the hallway. Then the group parted, and a man stepped forward.
He wore a perfectly tailored ck suit. With his tall stature and serious steps, he seemed as if he had just rushed over from some important event.
His handsome profile was expressionless, but his thin-framed sses gave him an air of refinement.
As he passed under a light, his sses shed.
It was Xiao Yebai.
The husband of Mo Weiyi.
This was the first time that Li Feifei had seen this man, who she had only previously seen in newspapers and magazines, in person.
His appearance was stunning, so elegant that he could have just stepped off a movie screen, enough to make any woman fall for him.
But as he approached her, the nearly six-foot-tall man¡¯s cold, indifferent gaze caused Li Feifei¡¯s heart to shrink.
¡°Mr. Xiao.¡± Rong An stepped forward to greet him.
His thin lips opened, ¡°Where is she?¡±
His voice was low, fraught with ominous undertones and danger, as if it hade from hell.
¡°I¡ I don¡¯t know¡¡± Li Feifei was so scared that her lips were white as paper, and her entire body wouldn¡¯t stop shaking.
Xiao Yebai took a step forward.
Through his thin sses, he stared at her with his beautiful, dark eyes.
Beautiful, dark eyes.
But they were also icy, and cold.
Like two pieces of ice, void of any warmth or emotion.
Li Feifei licked her lips nervously, just about to speak, when suddenly, Xiao Yebai reached out and mped his hand on her throat.
Her pale face turned beet red.
¡°Where is she?¡± He demanded once more.
¡°I don¡¯t¡¡± After two words, the hand on her throat suddenly squeezed harder.
Li Feifei immediately felt a burning pain in her throat. She struggled to catch her breath, her mouth open wide in a desperate attempt to breathe as the pressure on her throat increased.
The handsome face in her vision grew increasingly blurred. As she wildly contracted her pupils, she felt as if her throat was going to burst from the pain. ¡°Where is she?¡± He asked again.
Although his handsome face still betrayed no emotion, he seemed to have be apletely different person.
His eyes were extremely cold, his countenance sinister, and his entire being exuded an aura of aggression. Mixed with the chill and dampness that hade in with the rain, he seemed to have plunged deep into icy darkness.
Like a demon, almost satanic.
With her mouth wide open, enduring the excruciating pain in her throat, Li Feifei managed to utter with great difficulty, ¡°Down¡ stairs¡ washroom¡¡±
Before she could finish, the pressure on her throat was suddenly lifted.
Li Feifei fell to the ground, clutching her chest, greedily gulping down fresh air.
It was terrifying!
In her twenty years of life, this was the first time she hade so close to death!
Just a moment ago, she had truly thought this man was going to strangle her to death!
The next second.
¡°Miss,¡± a security guard appeared in front of her. ¡°A customerined that she found the ring she lost in your bag.¡±
Chapter 294 - 2%, the person in my mind is a world-class hero

The next second.
¡°Miss.¡±
A security guard suddenly came in front of her, ¡°We received aint from a customer, and we found her lost wedding ring in your bag just now.¡± ¡°Wha¡ What wedding ring?¡± Li Feifei was terrified to hear this.
She had just escaped from the Ghost Gate, and why was she now on the guillotine block?
¡°You are suspected of stealing a diamond wedding ring worth a million, which has constituted theft. Please apany us now to ept investigation. Without waiting for Li Feifei to exin, several security guards came up and took her away without saying anything.

*
At that time, in the women¡¯s washroom downstairs.
The door of the booth had been kicked open, and Mo Weiyi was dragged out directly by the man. She stumbled under her feet and was pushed against the wall next to her, and her tears nearly came out from the pain.
The princess who has been spoiled since childhood, always cared for with attentive concern and gentle care, when has she ever been treated so rudely by someone?
But what is more terrifying followed.
The man actually reached out to tear her clothes.
Mo Weiyi struggled hard and kept shouting for help.
But in vain, she nearly lost her voice, but she couldn¡¯t hear Li Feifei¡¯s voice at
all.
¡°Bea good girl, don¡¯t shout anymore, even if you hurt your throat, no one wille. The door has been locked by me. You will just have to y with me here tonight.¡±
Song Quan still had gauze on his nose, and although the other ces on his face had healed, he still had faint scars.
He was grinning, maniacal, crazy, and scary as he spoke.
¡°If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I swear, I will make you spend your whole life in prison! You will never get out!¡± Mo Weiyi tried to threaten him.
¡°Prison? Hahahaha.¡±
Song Quanughed arrogantly, and then, he took out his phone, turned on the video and started filming Mo Weiyi¡¯s frightened little face. ¡°I will film all the videos of me and you, and soon you will be begging me. Do you think people would assume it¡¯s my fault when they see this video? Will I go to prison?
Hahaha, you are too naive¡¡±
So far, this trick hasn¡¯t failed him.
No woman wouldn¡¯t be afraid to have her private video exposed. After all, this involves a woman¡¯s privacy.
Especially thedy from a wealthy family, reputation and face were more important than anything.
That is also why Song Quan has been safe for so long.
¡°You dare!¡± Mo Weiyi opened her eyes wide, ¡°There is no one in Nancheng who dares to treat me like this, do you know who I am?¡±
¡°Who you are? Hahaha, you¡¯re my little darling.¡±
Song Quan interrupted her directly, eagerly cing his phone on the table next to him, turning on the camera, saying almost manically, ¡°Don¡¯t rush, I want to select a good angle first so the video would look good.¡±
And also to be able to capture everything.
After cing his phone well and pressing the ¡°record¡± button, he didn¡¯t want to waste any more time and directly grabbed Mo Weiyi¡¯s arm.
Mo Weiyi felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit, so she quickly turned her face away.
But her chin was immediately gripped by the man and turned back.
Mo Weiyi immediately bowed her head and bit down on that hand.
Using all her strength, she was tenacious in holding onto that section of the bone in his hand, enduring the unpleasant sweat smell, until her mouth was filled with a strong, fishy, taste of blood¡.
Song Quan did not expect such a delicate, spoiled woman would actually turn out to be a wildcat capable of fighting back?
He didn¡¯t notice for a moment and was bitten so hard that he couldn¡¯t withdraw his hand, and could only swing his arm vigorously.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s slender body was thrown to the ground by him.
The pain from her palm scraping against the floor flooded in, but before she could react, Song Quan had taken one step towards her, then raised his hand and pped her face.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s sleek, fair face was pped off to the side, arge patch on her cheek quickly turned red, and then quickly swelled up.
¡°Stinking bitch, I wanted to treat you gently but you wouldn¡¯t appreciate it, now don¡¯t me me for being rough! You like biting me, right? Fine,e on, I love it most when you bite me!¡±
Realizing what he was about to do, Mo Weiyi was immediately nervous and flustered, suddenly, she shouted, ¡°How much money do you want? Name a price and I will give you!¡±
Sure enough, Song Quan stopped.
This audacious man didn¡¯t know about the Mo family of Nancheng.
She had been shouting for help for so long, and there was simply no one on this floor.
Because she resisted, her cell phone had already been smashed to pieces by him.
Rong An hasn¡¯te all this time; she must not know that she¡¯s in trouble here.
As for Xiaobai, the distance was too great, he couldn¡¯t possibly make it on time¡
She, a woman, how could she possibly battle against the strength of a grown man?
Enduring the fear in her heart, Mo Weiyi forced herself to continue trying to buy some time, ¡°Please, let me go. How much money do you want? Give me a number, no matter how much, I promise to give you all of it!
¡°Money? Hahaha¡¡±
Song Quan burst into a crazyughter, ¡°So now you finally know fear? Although I like money, what I want is to conquer you. Looking at your soft and tender skin, I can¡¯t help but love it¡¡±
His big hand, exuding the smell of sweat and gasoline, assaulted Mo Weiyi¡¯s face without restraint.
Because she was partying in the KTV box, Mo Weiyi had taken off her jacket and was now only wearing a thin dress.
At this moment, the fabric of her dress was ripped open, and the buttons were flung about.
Song Quan, wide-eyed and bloodshot, stood up.
The terrified Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, just as the man was about to unbuckle his pants¡
With a ¡°bang¡±, the bathroom door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t even see who it was but subconsciously, she immediately cried out, ¡°Xiaobai, save me¡¡±
Her voice was hoarse from crying, apanied by obvious trembling. After that cry, all the previous fear and panic rushed to her all at once. Especially when she saw the familiar figure appearing before her, Mo Weiyi¡¯s tears flowed like a torrent.
Before Song Quan could turn around and clearly see who had entered, a baton suddenly came down on his head.
He was instantly seeing stars, and blood instantly flowed down from the top of his head.
Excruciating pain.
It felt as if his skull had been split open.
He held his head, copsed backwards,nding on the ground weakened and gasping for breath.
With a ¡°ng¡±, the baton was thrown on the floor.
Xiao Yebai just stood there against the light, dressed all in ck, looking stern and aloof.
¡°Xiaobai!¡±
Mo Weiyi scrambled up from the floor and rushed awkwardly towards him.
She clung tightly to his waist, inhaling his familiar andforting smell, and finally burst into uncontroble sobs.
[My beloved is a hero, one day, he wille for me in golden saint armor, traveling on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.]
She just knew that, Xiaobai woulde to save her.
Xiao Yebai looked down at the little woman in his arms.
Her originally neat and soft curls were now in disarray, the fabric of her dress was torn, and several buttons were missing.
He took off his suit jacket and wrapped it tightly around her, his long, slender fingers holding her chin, lifting it to carefully inspect her delicate, fair face. Tears streaked her face, sliding down like broken strings of pearls, her face clearly bore the cruel mark of a p, and blood trace was visible on the corners of her mouth¡
The little princess of the Mo family, who had been carefully nurtured from childhood, was now beaten up by a bastard?
No one in the Mo family had ever pped her before.
And when he walked in earlier and saw her clothes in disarray lying on the ground, that man was standing in front of her¡
¡°Xiaobai¡¡±
Mo Weiyi sniffled, whimpering, tears streamed down her face again.
Her delicate and frail figure was dwarfed by the man¡¯srge, ck suit jacket. Her eyshes were soaked, her eyes and nose were swollen from crying, she looked pitiable and disheveled.
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t speak, he turned around, kicked the copsed Song Quan lifting him back to his feet.
The next second.
With a ¡°bang¡±, Song Quan was thrown against thepartment door behind him.
The force was so great that the door was shattered directly, and Song Quan fell into the squatting toilet inside the bathroom, still attached to the door panel. Due to the pain, he opened his eyes and regained his senses.
Xiao Yebai walked over and quietly stared down at him.
Chapter 295 - 295) ruthless and seldom speaks
295) ruthless and seldom speaks
Trantor: 549690339
Xiao Yebai walked over, silently looking down at him.
Song Quan groaned in pain, still wanting to curse, ¡°Fuck you. Wait until I get you, bitch!¡±
Xiao Yebai bent over, grabbed his cor with one hand and punched him hard.
Blood and flesh spewed from the bandages on Song Quan¡¯s nose. He hissed and cursed, ¡°Who the fuck are you? I¡¯m gonna¡¡±
This man wore sses and was neatly dressed in a suit with a tie. With his reserved, schrly appearance, who would have thought that his blow would be fiercer than that of the previous man?
After the blow that had justnded on his head, he was still feeling dizzy and couldn¡¯t see clearly. He had no energy to resist.
¡°Who am I?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was t, as if he was casually talking about the weather.
He said, ¡°You don¡¯t even know who I am and you dared touch her?¡±
Sweat was beading on Song Quan¡¯s face, turning from pale to an unhealthy grey. He recalled Li Feifei¡¯s words and blurted out subconsciously, ¡°It¡¯s just a woman. If you want her, I¡¯ll let you have her. I won¡¯t touch her¡¡±
The man screamed in agony, uncontrobly and continuously.
Mo Weiyi originally didn¡¯t want to see the gruesome scene, but hearing that scream, she subconsciously looked over and saw¡
Xiao Yebai¡¯s foot, stepping on the man¡¯s most vulnerable part.
He applied weight to his foot, his voice light, ¡°From now on, even if you want to, you won¡¯t be able to touch any woman.¡±
His continuous force started to make Song Quan¡¯s face turn white, then green, and finally purple.
Xiao Yebai suddenly lifted his foot.
Mo Weiyi thought he was going to let him go unscathed, but¡
¡°Ah!¡±
The leather shoe came crashing down once again.
With every mandated blow by Xiao Yebai, the man¡¯s screams became louder and more pitiful, filling the restroom non-stop.
Drenched in cold sweat, he looked as if he¡¯d just been fished out of the water.
In the end, he couldn¡¯t bear the intense pain and passed out.
Mo Weiyi was so frightened that her face had turned pale.
Only when she saw Song Quan pass out did she limp over to Xiao Yebai, grab his arm, and stammer, ¡°Xiaobai, he¡ he¡¡±
Xiao Yebai pulled back his foot, his tone indifferent but concise, ¡°He won¡¯t die.¡±
¡°But¡ is he¡¡± Mo Weiyi seemed a bit scared.
Could he have died from the beating?
The screams were so terrifying, they sounded like a man being castrated in a royal harem drama.
¡°Knock, knock, knock.¡±
The door suddenly was knocked a few times, and then Rong An walked in.
¡°Master Xiao.¡±
Xiao Yebai opened his lips slightly, ¡°Who is this man?¡±
Rong An nced at the man who had fainted in the cubicle and gave a detailed report, ¡°A few weeks ago, he tried to sexually assault the princess outside the school gate. I broke his arm then. I didn¡¯t expect that he still won¡¯t give up.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t expect?¡±
Rong An lowered his head, ¡°My mistake.¡±
Mo Weiyi also immediately lowered her head, ¡°Xiaobai, my bad, I didn¡¯t let Rong An tell you. I thought he was just a small-time gangster and didn¡¯t expect him to be this crazy¡¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes were inexplicably obscured. After a moment, he said, ¡°Rong An, you keep watch here.¡±
Rong An naturally understood his meaning, ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Xiaobai¡¡±
Xiao Yebai looked down at the petite woman beside him, straightened her coat and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
**
Back in the car, Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai and subconsciously tried to exin, ¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯m fine. He only pped me. He didn¡¯t touch me.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a good thing he didn¡¯t.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s lips curled slightly, but his eyes showed no hint of a smile. ¡°If he had, I would have to kill him.¡±
¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡± Recalling her horrifying experience, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but hug the man¡¯s arm, raised her lovely face, and looked at him pitifully. ¡°I was so scared, Xiaobai. Fortunately, you came in time. I was so scared¡¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at the red swelling on her face and the torn cor of her clothes. He asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let Rong An go with you?¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted, feeling wronged and innocent. ¡°He¡¯s my ssmate. Who would know that he¡¯d turn out to be a stalker?¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her for a long time.
His deep, dark eyes were unfathomable and difficult to understand.
Then, he raised a finger.
At that moment, he had resumed his usual calm andposed demeanor.
If she hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes, Mo Weiyi would not have believed that the fierce man who had personally beaten Song Quan severely for her just now could be him.
¡°Does it hurt?¡± His voice was low, soft, and gentle, as if whispering sweet words.
Mo Weiyi felt a sweet andforting warmth in her heart. She shook her head and obediently answered, ¡°It did hurt a bit at first, but when you came to my rescue, it didn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±
Xiao Yebai remained silent, his hand gently stroking her face for quite a while.
Mo Weiyi stared at him affectionately.
To her surprise, Xiaobai had actually fought someone for her!

Trantor: 549690339 |
Mo Weiyi was also gazing at him stupidly.
Xiaobai had actually fought someone for her just now!
It was boyfriend power overload!
This was the first time she¡¯d seen a fierce side of Xiaobai. Other than fear, she felt admiration, peace, and sweetness.
No woman could resist a hero, especially when that hero was her man!
This meant that in his heart, she was significant. He would not allow any other
man to touch her. He had just disposed of that Song Quan-
Just as Mo Weiyi was lost in thought.
¡°You¡¯re not pretty anymore.¡±
Mo Weiyi was stunned.
When she realized that it was Xiao Yebai who had said this, she pouted, feeling wronged. ¡°Xiaobai, you despise me.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her face.
Her delicate little face was now swollen on one side. With her naturally fair skin, the red swelling was a shocking sight to behold.
The little princess, who had been pampered since birth, was no match for the strength of a man.
He had noticed that the scumbag¡¯s hand had bite marks. If she hadn¡¯t resisted, she wouldn¡¯t have been pped, but if she hadn¡¯t resisted, he might not have
made it in time¡
¡°Hmph.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice interrupted his thoughts.
She lifted her little face and proudly dered, ¡°Even if Xiaobai despises me, it doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯re now my husband, and you can¡¯t be returned! You¡¯re
forever mine!¡±
Having said that, she started tough.
It was supposed to be a sly, triumphantugh, but because half of her face was
swollen, it instantly¡became¡uglier¡
A twitch ran across Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes, but he didn t respond.
He started the car, ready to turn back.
Mo Weiyi remained silent as well. But soon, she cried out, ¡°Ah, my bag and my coat are still in the private room.¡±
¡°OK.¡±
¡± And¡Li Feifei!¡± Mo Weiyi seemed to recall suddenly, starting to badmouth her in irritation, ¡°That damn woman said she would apany me to the restroom but just took a call and left as soon as we entered! How outrageous!¡±
¡°OK.¡±
¡°One more thing!¡± Mo Weiyi began to chatter again. ¡°I haven¡¯t paid the bill for the private room yet. My ssmates are going to use me of dodging the bill intentionally! You have to call Rong An immediately to have him firstly pay for me, I¡¯ll transfer him back the moneyter, hurry¡
This time, Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t respond with ¡®OK.¡¯ He turned his head and nced
at her coldly.
She was beaten to this state and still worried about being suspected of evading
the bill?
The princess¡¯s logical mind was truly-beyond ordinaryprehension.
Mo Weiyi looked at him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Nothing.¡± Xiao Yebai wasn¡¯t in the mood to borate.
He took a turn in the car, but then there was a slight upward tug at the corner of his lips.
Seeing that light curve on the corner of his lips, Mo Weiyi was suspicious but didn¡¯t know what he wasughing at, so she continued to prattle on, ¡°That Li Feifei is so annoying. I kindly invited my dorm mates to dinner, yet she isn¡¯t happy because she thinks Rong An is scary-looking. Xiaobai, do you think Rong An is very scary? I think it¡¯s OK. He has eyes and a nose. Where does he look scary?¡±
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±
He didn¡¯t speak, but his phone rang.
Xiao Yebai answered, ¡°Hello.¡±
Not knowing what the person on the other end had said, Xiao Yebai stayed silent with a serious face, with a straight line forming on his lips.
Then he said, ¡°I understand.¡±
After hearing more words from the person on the other end of the call, Xiao Yebai¡¯s gaze remained fixed front, his eyes slightly squinting under his sses as he calmly replied in a cold voice, ¡°Regardless of gender, get them all in.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Doesn¡¯t this sound like a line a cop would say during a vice crackdown on TV? Men stand on the left, women on the right, and those in between stand in the middle?
After hanging up, Xiao Yebai quickly drove into Lishui Bay Vi.
Upon entering the living room, Aunt Zhou was already waiting with a first aid kit.
Xiao Yebai ordered, ¡°Help the princess tend to her injuries.¡±
¡°Of course, Young Master Xiao.¡±
As Mo Weiyi sat there, with her suit jacket removed revealing a ripped dress underneath, and a red mark at her neckline left by the torn dress.
in addition to her fluffy hair, swollen face, and the obvious signs of crying,
Aunt Zhou was scared and her hands were shaking.
Having worked for the Mo family for so long, she had practically watched the princess grow up. So when had she ever seen the princess be bullied like this?
Xiao Yebai nced at her indifferently.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly approached, and then she heard the man¡¯s low and deep voice saying, ¡°Don¡¯t tell the old residence about this for now.¡±
¡°¡Understood, Young Master Xiao.¡±
After that, Mo Weiyi sat there, grimacing in pain as her injuries were tended to.
But they weren¡¯t that serious.
A topical ointment was applied to her face, and the swelling would subside in two or three days.
She had sprained her foot slightly, and after some cold therapy, it wouldn¡¯t cause much trouble.
The most severe injuries were on both of her hands where she¡¯d scraped them when she¡¯d fallen. Now covered in gauze, she¡¯d be a semi ¨C ¡°invalid.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at her own bandaged hands with a frown, ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t go to school again.¡±
¡°Going to school?¡± Xiao Yebai looked at her and sneered sarcastically, ¡°Isn¡¯t not going to school what you desired?¡±
He knew very well how much his wife disliked studying.
Mo Weiyi felt embarrassed: ¡°¡¡±
Then, she finally found her voice with a blush, ¡°Recently, I have been obeying my father¡¯s words and diligently attending school every day. Otherwise, do you think tonight¡¯s incident could have happened?¡±

297, Does Not Understand Romance
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Is that so?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was indifferent.
Mo Weiyi nodded, ¡°My father told me to study hard, get my diploma, so I could help you in thepany in the future. He even showed me the files from the Mo Family¡¯s recent years, but I couldn¡¯t understand them.¡±
¡°What files?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone remained indifferent.
¡°They are le¡¡± Mo Weiyi was in the middle of his sentence, and suddenly his face changed, ¡°I¡¯ve messed up, I left the USB sh drive with the files in my backpack, in thepartment. My father said those files were important and couldn¡¯t be seen by others. What should I do¡¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yebai had picked up his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number, ¡°Rong An.¡±
As he listened to Xiao Yebai instructing Rong An to retrieve the backpack from thepartment, Mo Weiyi hastily added, ¡°Tell him to settle the bill for thepartment.¡±
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±

At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, a loud thunder suddenly boomed outside the window.
Soon, thunder and lightning roared in the night sky. A gentle drizzle that was originally perceivable, suddenly turned into a heavy downpour.
The world seemed to be instantly shrouded by the rainstorm, deste, dark, andpletely unclear.
Rong An returned Mo Weiyi¡¯s jacket and bag to the car.
Turning around, he nced at the dark rain curtain. His fists, hanging at his sides, suddenly clenched tightly.
Under the cover of rain fog, he returned to the women¡¯s bathroom in the building.
So, when Song Quan woke from intense pain, he saw the same man fromst time standing in front of him.
He was dressed in a simple ck suit and trousers, holding the nightstick that Xiao Yebai had thrown on the ground before.
With thunder and lightning outside, a sudden white light swept across the dim bathroom, his face bearing a cruel and ferocious expression, was terrifyingly ghostly.
Song Quan¡¯s entire body ached, his shoulder had been hit by the nightstick again.
He shrank back, his face full of extreme fear.
He hadn¡¯t forgotten. Last time, this man had beaten his face askew, almost killing him!
¡°Do you know who the woman you tried to assault just now was?¡± The low and unruffled voice of Rong An began.
Hearing this, Song Quan felt as if the voice of the Hell King spoke. He dared not speak.
He was only cursing insults at the woman earlier, when that pretty boy had kicked him in a ce he¡¯d rather not mention.
Beautiful women really attract a lot of flies. These two seemed to risk their lives for a woman.
Standing there, holding the nightstick, Rong An continued in a condescending tone, ¡°Her name is Mo Weiyi, she is the little princess of the Nancheng Mo Family. The Nancheng Mo Family, have you never heard of it?¡±
Song Quan¡¯s eyes widened in horror.
Nancheng Mo Family?
Isn¡¯t that one of the top families¡
Before he could figure it out, Rong An raised his hand, and with a swing, mmed the club down.
¡°Ah!¡± Song Quan cried out in pain.
Then another club swing, and then another. Rong An repeated the mechanical motions, continuously striking him.
Song Quan rolled on the ground, screaming in pain, his bleeding steadily turning the bathroom floor red.
asionally a sh of lightning outside would illuminate the face of the man wielding the nightstick.
His eyes were bloodthirsty, his jaw clenched, the ferocity and cruelty revealed in his expression seemed like they could ignite two fires and burn the man writhing on the ground to ashes.
After a seemingly endless time, Song Quan finallyy on the ground, barely breathing, his body and the surrounding area covered in blood. Rong An finally stopped his assault.
He took a slight breath and dropped the iron club with a ng.
The entire bathroom was filled with a chilling, bloody atmosphere.
While outside, the storm raged on.
*

Mo Family¡¯s vi.
Contrary to the storm raging outside, the upstairs bedroom was bright as day, warm and tranquil.
The bathroom had steam lingering around and was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
Mo Weiyiy in the bathtub, only her face and two bandaged hands showing.
Listening to the thunder outside, she cooed, ¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai.¡±
Footsteps followed, and a man in casual clothes walked in.
Mo Weiyi raised her arm a bit, ¡°I¡¯m done soaking.¡±
Xiao Yebai walked over, hit the drain switch, took the showerhead from the side, checked the temperature, and then began rinsing her.
After that, he took a towel from the side, and began towel drying her.
He wasn¡¯t wearing his sses, his eyes gentle and clean, with no change in his expression.
He wiped her down from head to toe, calm and collected.
Instead, it was Mo Weiyi who was a bit embarrassed.
Lastly, Xiao Yebai pulled over a white bath towel, wrapped her in it, and then picked her up.
Looking at the handsome and refined man, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiaobai, if I get old, can¡¯t move my arms and legs, and can¡¯t walk, would you still take care of me like this?¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m older than you.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butment in her heart, Xiaobai really didn¡¯t understand romance.
In this situation, shouldn¡¯t he say ¡°yes¡± without blinking?
But, it was thisck of understanding of romance, this inability to say nice things just to please her, that made her love Xiaobai.
Lifting her head, Mo Weiyi sweetly said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll take care of you when the timees.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his brow slightly raised, then.
¡°Hmm.¡±
Mo Weiyi, again was like, ¡°¡¡±
He¡¯s really so cold!
She couldn¡¯t help but tease him in her heart.

The next day, Nancheng was sunny and bright with the dawn of warm sunshine.
The golden sunlight nketed the earth, as if the storm of the night before had never happened.
In the morning, not long after breakfast, Aunt Zhou hurried in to report, ¡°Mr. Xiao, the police are here.¡±
Xiao Yebai ordered in a soft voice, ¡°Let them in.¡±
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi stared at him, visibly nervous.
Considering how Xiaobai had beaten Song Quanst night, he wouldn¡¯t be in trouble, would he?
Xiao Yebai instructed, ¡°When the police question youter, your only response should be ¡®yes¡¯. Remember that.¡±
¡± Huh?¡± Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
¡°Did you remember?¡± Xiao Yebai repeated.
¡± I remember.¡± Mo Weiyi could only nod in agreement.
Soon, Aunt Zhou led a few police officers in.
The leading officer looked like he was in his forties; a few subordinates nked him, all of them dressed in serious police uniforms.
Except for one man who was dressed in in clothes.
And he was quite handsome.
The word ¡°handsome¡± was used to describe him mainly because among the stern-faced police squad, he was noticeably standout.
In his twenties, young and somewhat naive, a certain casual demeanor showed through his handsome features, with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth.
But it wasn¡¯t even lit.
Seeing Mo Weiyi, he hooked the corners of his lips upwards in a slight smirk, then turned his gaze towards Xiao Yebai.
His eyes were teasing and satisfied.
Xiao Yebai casually avoided his gaze.
The man: ¡°¡¡±
What the hell!
Look at this young man¡¯s aloof and indifferent manner, still pretending not to know him?
What a perfect act, without a trace of pretense.
*
*
¡°Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao.¡±
In the study, the leading officer was very polite.
Perhaps knowing that the couple¡¯s status was not ordinary, even the questioning was conducted in a gentle tone.
¡°Mrs. Xiao, do you recognize this man?¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at the photo handed to her, her face full of fear as she quickly turned to embrace Xiao Yebai.
The photo was drenched in blood.
Song Quan was lying on the ground, his face a mass of bloody flesh, his features unrecognizable, his hair matted and dyed with fresh blood, and the ground around him was bloody as well.
Xiao Yebai nced at it briefly, then lifted his hand to stroke Mo Weiyi¡¯s hair gently, his tone soothing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my wife is abit timid.¡±
The officer nodded in understanding, ¡°This man, named Song Quan, was assaultedst night in the women¡¯s restroom on the tenth floor of Ziguang Building, at the intersection of Jircy Road and Sun Road. His lower body was ruptured, multiple fractures all over his body, and severe brain injuries. He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor¡¯s initial diagnosis states that his brain is severely affected and he might be a vegetable, never to wake up again¡¡±
With each statement, Mo Weiyi trembled.
She remembered that when she leftst night, although Song Quan did have blood on him, it wasn¡¯t as horrifyingly serious¡
¡°Mrs. Xiao.¡± The officer asked again, ¡°Do you know this man?¡±
Mo Weiyi buried her face in Xiao Yebai¡¯s chest, remaining motionless.
The officer:
Xiao Yebai looked down at her and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯m here.¡±
She held tightly onto his clothes with her slender white fingers. Then, Mo Weiyi finally turned her head. As soon as she saw the second photo, her face paled even more. Hastily, she said, ¡°His name is Rong An, he is my bodyguard.¡±
The man in the photo was Rong An, but he was wearing a yellow vest confiscated by the police, his eyes focused forward and face expressionless. ¡°Why did you arrest him?¡±
¡°This gentleman turned himself in. He imed that Song Quan attempted to assault Mrs. Xiao, so he attacked Song Quan with a baton. We have done the tests. The fingerprints on the baton indeed belong to Mr. Rong.¡±
Mo Weiyi opened her beautiful cat-like eyes wide, not quiteprehending for a long while.
Rong An¡ turned himself in?
Why?
¡°May I ask Mrs. Xiao.¡± The officer¡¯s voice echoed once more, ¡°Did Song Quan attempt to sexually harass youst night?¡±
Remembering Xiao Yebai¡¯s instructions, Mo Weiyi could only answer, ¡°Yes.¡±
The officer and the handsome young man exchanged nces. Then he collected the photos, stood up and said, ¡°Alright, we have verified everything. Sorry for the disturbance.¡±
Mo Weiyi watched as the group of police officers left.
Then, she suddenly seemed toe to her senses, hurriedly asking, ¡°Xiaobai, is Rong An going to be jailed?¡±
¡± He will be fine.¡± Xiao Yebai calmly affirmed.
Mo Weiyi was still uneasy. Feeling guilty, she said, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If I hadn¡¯t been targeted by that man that day, Rong An wouldn¡¯t have hit him for me. Can you quickly find someone to get him out? I don¡¯t want him to go to jail¡¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Xiao Yebai agreed.
With his promise, Mo Weiyi was finally able to rest easy.
Rong An had been with her for many years. It could be said that the three of them had grown up together from childhood.
Although Rong An was just a bodyguard, she saw him more as a friend. Now that he was implicated because of her, she really did not want anything to happen to him.
As expected, Rong An returned in the afternoon.
Mo Weiyi examined him carefully and saw that he was unharmed. She only then truly felt at ease.
*

Su Wanwan only learned about Mo Weiyi¡¯s injury when she went to school on Monday.
She initially thought this brat was reverting to her old rebellious ways.
For someone who hated going to school and studying, getting her to attend school diligently was already a great feat.
Just as expected, it hadn¡¯t even been a month, and she was back to truancy.
But when she received the call, she found out about the ident.
And then, she heard it was a pervert who followed her into the women¡¯s restroom, reaching his hand under the cubicle¡
¡°Damn, you must have been scared to death, right?¡±
¡°I was so scared at that time, just like that horror movie ¡®The Grudge¡¯ we watched together before! Remember? Hiding under the bed, and then seeing the child¡¯s feet running back and forth on the floor, ah¡ It was so scary¡¡±
Su Wanwan:
Just hearing it sent shivers down her spine. What more for the skittish Mo Weiyi?
Chapter 299: 299, Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy
Chapter 299: Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy
Trantor: 549690339
¡°But, how did that pervert know you were alone in the bathroom?¡± Su Wanwan suddenly asked.
¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe he was following me the whole time.¡± Mo Weiyi also found it strange, but since the matter had already been resolved, and Song Quan had been severely punished, she didn¡¯t think about it much further.
Su Wanwan nodded, ¡°If I had known you were calling me to join youst night, I would have beat him until he lost all his teeth!¡±
Mo Weiyi giggled, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Xiaobai came to my rescue anyway. Do you know what I thought of when he burst in?¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan was sitting in the ssroom with earplugs in, and in front of her was a thick ¡°English Level Four Dictionary.¡±
¡°I thought of the line from ¡°A Chinese Odyssey¡± where Zixia Fairy said to Supreme Treasure. She said, ¡®My ideal man is a great hero. One day, he will wear the Golden Saint Armor, step on colorful auspicious clouds and marry me. I was so touched¡¡¯¡±
¡°Do you know what she said afterwards?¡± Su Wanwan abruptly interrupted.
¡°What?¡±
¡°I guessed the beginning but failed to guess the ending,¡± Su Wanwan said, ¡°In fact, ¡°A Chinese Odyssey¡± is a tragedy.¡±
Mo Weiyi was stunned: ¡°¡¡±
Then.
¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Little Princess huffed, ¡°Anyhow, Supreme Treasure ended up with Zixia Fairy in the end!¡±
¡°That¡¯s not even them, they just lookalike,¡± Su Wanwan retorted.
¡°Yes, it is, it is them!¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°Enough, I have a ss now, I can¡¯t chat with you anymore.¡±
¡°Another ss?¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you used to be like me, not fond of studying? Howe you¡¯ve been so serious about it since you returned to China? What happened to you?¡±
Su Wanwan simply rolled her eyes, ¡°Do not lump me in with a study liability like you.¡±
Study liability Mo Weiyi:
Wailing, what a bully!
After hanging up the phone, the bell for ss rang.
Li Mochou came in to start the ss.
With the English Level Examinationing up in December, Su Wanwan had only recently returned home from studying at a university in Los Angeles, and needed to start from level four to get a diploma.
So, recently, except for attending sses, she spent all her spare time frantically cramming for the Level Four vocabry, using every minute and second to rote learn.
As for why she was suddenly so diligent in her studies, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to tell anyone.
**
After two sses, Su Wanwan left the ssroom.
There was arge crowd of students gathered around the school bulletin board, the noise was deafening, as though some major incident had urred.
As Su Wanwan was considering whether to go and see what the fuss was about, a girl suddenly ran over to her, ¡°You are Su Wanwan, right?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her and recognized her as one of Mo Weiyi¡¯s dorm mates.
The girl said, ¡°Do you know what¡¯s going on with Li Feifei?¡±
¡°What happened to her?¡±
¡°The school just posted a punishment notice that says they received a notice from the police saying Li Feifei stole a million dors¡¯ worth of valuables at Dynasty KTVst night and has been detained by the police. My gosh, stealing that much money warrants imprisonment! The school directly expelled her. It¡¯s so baffling. Do you think this has anything to do with Mo Weiyi?¡±
Su Wanwan paused.
Mo Weiyi ran into trouble at the KTVst night, and now Li Feifei was caught stealing at the KTV and was expelled. What a coincidence, could it be?
The girl then said, ¡°Last night, Mo Weiyi disappeared suddenly while she was singing, then her bodyguard came and took Li Feifei away. Could it be that Li Feifei was caught because she stole something from Mo Weiyi? Her boyfriend¡¯s family was sent to jail by Mo Weiyist time, it seems those close to ink are liable to be ckened! They all seem to like stealing, what a pity, she¡¯s so beautiful and has good grades, she even secured an internship position for next semester. Now that this happened, her bright future is ruined.¡±
Su Wanwan forced a smile, ¡°Stealing is wrong in the first ce. She got what she deserved. What¡¯s there to pity?¡±
The girl:
**
Li Feifei has always been a model student, and she was a high-achieving student in ourw department. We did not expect her to suddenly be an offender, stealing, and being expelled from our school. The whole campus knew and the campus forum was noisy for a while.
But in thiswork society, even the biggest scandals quiet down within two or three days.
By Thursday, the University¡¯s flower contest posts had dominated the forum.
Each term, the South University forum would hold a beauty contest. Mostly boys participated in the voting. This was a long-established tradition at South University.
But Su Wanwan didn¡¯t know she was nominated. Lately, she was absorbed in studying, she hadn¡¯t even been home.
At five in the afternoon.
Su Wanwan checked the time and was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner when she received a call from Huo Jingshen.
¡°Come out.¡±
¡°What for?¡±
¡°Sleep at home tonight, I¡¯m already outside your school.¡±
When she heard the word ¡°sleep¡±, Su Wanwan coughed awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m about to take the Level Four English test, I need to revise.¡±
¡°Do you think it¡¯s appropriate for a married woman not to sleep at home?¡± Huo Jingshen argued.
Su Wanwan, ¡°¡¡±
¡°Come out at once!¡± Huo Jingshen hung up the phone after saying this.
Chapter 300: 300, Huo’s Conscience
Chapter 300: Huo¡¯s Conscience
Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan silently counted in her heart. It seemed like almost a week had passed since shest went home. She even spent the whole weekend at school.
Well, that¡¯s indeed a bit indescribable.
Forget it.
She silently tossed back the lunchbox, tidied up, then slung her handbag over her shoulder, and heaved up her ¡°English Level Four Dictionary¡±, ¡°December 2017 English Four Level Actual Test¡±, ¡°36 Sets of English Four Level Cloze Test Enhancement¡±¡
So, when Huo Jingshen saw Su Wanwan hoisting such a heap of learning materials into the car, his handsome face instantly turned dark.
Was she nning to cart so many study materials just to spend the night at home?
Obviously, studying was another excuse for her!
Before he could protest, suddenly, his mobile phone rang.
Huo Jingshen drove off and answered the call.
¡°Brother, so, are we going to Guidi tonight?¡± NangongCi¡¯s insincere voice came on.
Huo Jingshen, in a serious tone, replied, ¡°Not going.¡±
¡°What happened again? Haven¡¯t we been drinking together at night these couple of days? I¡¯m telling you, our second brother has arranged a program tonight. Supposedly, it¡¯s a maiden¡¯s first time, haha¡¡±
¡°You bunch of single dogs can drink on your own.¡± Huo Jingshen cut in, the ridicule clear in his tone.
¡°Holy crap.¡±
Nangong Ci was clearly upset, ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t keep doing this. When you quarrel with sister-inw, youe to us. And once you made up with her, you don¡¯t even recognize us. Plus, you insult us by calling us single dogs? You¡¯re just using us as a stepping stone. Do you even have a conscience? Brother, you can¡¯t keep doing this¡¡±
Before he finished speaking, the call was abruptly disconnected.

Inside the Guidi Club.
Nangong Ci, the first one to arrive at the private room, put down his phone, his handsome face contorting in disbelief.
¡°What happened?¡±
Chu Jingyi looked at him, her slender phoenix eyes filled with allure.
¡°It seems that sister-inw is returning home, so our big brother won¡¯t being over tonight.¡± Ming Jing said, lifting his ss, ¡°Jingyi, let¡¯s drink first.¡±
Chu Jingyi smiled, lifting her wine ss to clink with his, ¡°How long have they been married?¡±
Ming Jing pondered, ¡°They got their certificate in August.¡±
Chu Jingyi took a sip of her red wine, ¡°Jingshen seems to have returned in May, right?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Nangong Ci chimed in with a cunning grin, ¡°That¡¯s why we say our big brother knows the ropes. He was love at first sight with sister-inw. He was swift and urate, getting her hooked in just a few days.¡±
Love at first sight, huh?
Hehe.
A faint sneer shed in Chu Jingyi¡¯s eyes.

Su Wanwan had thought that they¡¯d directly return home. Who would¡¯ve thought that Huo Jingshen would drive her to arge supermarket nearby?
After getting out of the car, hand in hand, they walked to the entrance just like an ordinary young couple.
Huo Jingshen stretched out his long arm to bring a shopping cart over. He then looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Do you want to sit?¡±
¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan was taken aback for a moment.
Not until Huo Jingshen gestured did she nce sideways.
There was a young couple with their chubby child shopping in the supermarket. The young dad ced the child in the trolley, and the little one, with his newly grown teeth, gaped in delight, waving his arms and legs around.
Su Wanwan:
Holy crap!
¡°Darling, don¡¯t you want to sit?¡± Huo Jingshen kept on asking, ¡°So you wouldn¡¯t get lost in there, and your hubby wouldn¡¯t have to search for you.¡±
Su Wanwan gave him an intense re and gritted her teeth, ¡°I¡¯m not a kid!¡±
After saying that, she strode into the supermarket.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, and followed her with the cart.
Upon entering the crowded supermarket, Huo Jingshen immediately said, ¡°Stick close and don¡¯t get lost.¡±
Su Wanwan again: ¡°¡¡±
Had enough of this already!
¡°What would you like for dinner?¡± Huo Jingshen asked again.
As if she were truly a child.
Su Wanwan replied, ¡°I want to eat braised pork.¡±
¡°Alright. What else?¡± Huo Jingshen looked at his wife, the underlying meanings in his deep voice, ¡°Darling, you¡¯ve been studying hard recently. Tonight, I want to reward you properly.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes gleamed. After blinking twice, she immediately recited several more dishes.
All of which were Huo Jingshen¡¯s specialties.
After all, her husband¡¯s cooking skills were simply unparalleled. After staying at school for so long, what she missed most was his¡ cooking!
Huo Jingshen nodded and began to gather ingredients from the shelves.
The cart was quickly filled up, and the two of them rode the esctor to the second floor.
Su Wanwan still followed him like a shadow, until she saw him perusing the health and beauty section, seriously selecting contraceptives¡
Her eyes widened, her face blushed and Su Wanwan turned to run.
Damn it!
Couldn¡¯t they buy these intimate items online?
Then again, an old-fashioned man probably doesn¡¯t shop online.
She had to run, so no one would realize she was his wife¡
However, unfortunately, Su Wanwan ran too fast and ran into a shopping cart, knocking things onto the floor.
She quickly went to steady the cart, ignoring the pain in her leg, apologizing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± The woman pushing the cart was in her twenties with long hair, fair skin, and a calm demeanor. ¡°It was my fault for not looking, you¡¯re not hurt, are you?¡±
The woman¡¯s soft voice reminded Su Wanwan of Fu Ziyang¡¯s stepmother, Xiu Xin.
She quickly said, ¡°No, no, it was my fault for not watching where I was going.¡±
After finishing her apology, she bent over to pick up the items, only to find¡
Embarrassing! The items she knocked over were the same type of contraceptives that Huo Jingshen had just bought.
This¡
Su Wanwan was torn.
Should she pick it up?
Or should she not?
At this moment, a fair hand extended and picked up the fallen items before gracefully cing them into the cart.
All while maintaining a gentle smile.
Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned even redder.
The woman was so open about it, making her seem prudish inparison.
Just then, a vaguely familiar male voice came from behind her, ¡°Are you done?¡±
¡°Done.¡± The woman pushing the cart turned around.
Su Wanwan subconsciously looked over and she saw the man standing at the end of the aisle¡ It was Di Chenghe.
The guest lecturer.
Di Chenghe saw her too. Despite the two not being very close, he greeted her with a nod and even approached her, ¡°What a coincidence, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Su Wanwan could only greet back, ¡°Hello, teacher.¡±
¡°Chenghe, so this girl is your student.¡± The womanplimented immediately, ¡°The female students nowadays are so pretty.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go once you¡¯ve finished selecting.¡± Di Chenghe concluded, and said to Su Wanwan, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Be careful when you¡¯re out alone.¡±
Su Wanwan felt a bit awkward. She returned a smile at each of them, waved a small farewell and said, ¡°Goodbye, teacher.¡±
¡°Goodbye.¡±
Watching the well-matched pair disappearing into the distance, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but feel inspired. Truly outstanding people always find each other.
So she must work hard too.
She needs to study diligently and strive to be a better person.
In the future, she must rely on her abilities to earn a lot of money, rather than relying on her husband like now¡
¡°Everyone has already left, yet you are still giggling like a fool.¡±
A gloomy, deep voice suddenly rang by her ear.
Su Wanwan jumped in fright.
Turning around, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were ring at him, ¡°You¡¯re the only fool here, and so is your whole family!¡±
However, Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, looking off to the distance, he resembled a husband catching his cheating wife, and even his tone was full of questioning, ¡°Who¡¯s that man?¡±
¡°My teacher.¡±
¡°Teacher?¡± Huo Jingshen snorted scornfully, ¡°Such a disrespectful teacher.¡±
Su Wanwan was puzzled, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face was serious as he categorically stated, ¡°Is it appropriate for him to buy such items in front of a female student?¡±
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, ¡°And how is it appropriate for you to buy them in front of me? And you have the nerve to criticize others?¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯m your husband, there¡¯s a difference right?¡± Huo Jingshen spoke very confidently, ¡°On top of that, you would also need these items.¡±
¡°What do you mean by me¡ you¡ you jerk!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned red, stuttering and unable to speak properly.
It was clearly for his use!
What a shameless man!
¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me before you like strawberry vored ones?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing his mind.
Why was she discussing condom vors with him in a supermarket?
Huo Jingshen held her hand directly, pulling the flustered girl towards the counter, ¡°Let¡¯s go pay.¡±

Back at home, the whole living room was quiet.
¡°Where¡¯s Ziyang?¡±
¡°He¡¯s been sent to the big yard.¡± Huo Jingshen calmly replied.
Su Wanwan frowned.
Were Mr. and Mrs. Huo too fond of children?
They seemed to be very fond of Fu Ziyang.
Ever since thest meeting, they would asionally take the child to live in the big yard. Not to mention that they always sent various packages; if it wasn¡¯t toys, it was food, drink, and other items like clothing, shoes, and study materials.
Right now, on the cab in the hallway were several unopened parcels. They had the words ¡°Children¡¯s Early Learning Toys¡± written in bold on the boxes. Huo Jingshen entered the kitchen with a bag full of food ingredients. Shortly after, he brought out a te of cleaned strawberries, cing them on the coffee table, ¡°Have some of your favorite strawberries first, dinner¡¯s almost ready.¡± Su Wanwan: ¡± ¡±
Was he going to keep bringing up strawberries?
Once Huo Jingshen went back to the kitchen to busy himself, she picked up a strawberry and bit into it in one go!
Taste good!
Hum!

After dinner, Su Wanwan ran upstairs to Fu Ziyang¡¯s study and started studying with the pile of study materials.
She nned to pass Level 4 this semester and then Level 6 next semester. Perfect!
But the peaceful scene didn¡¯tst long. She had only done a few problems when the study room door was opened, and someone walked in.
Su Wanwan looked up and immediately felt a chill down her spine.
Damn it.
This guy had already taken a shower.
¡°Hehe.¡±
Huo Jingshen let out a lowugh.
Su Wanwan quickly averted her gaze, blushing as she sat upright and continued with her practice problems.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°How was dinner today? Was it good?¡± asked Huo Jingshen.
Su Wanwan timidly replied, ¡°It was good.¡±
¡°Did you eat enough?¡±
She continued to be timid, ¡°I ate enough.¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled lightly, ¡°Are you sure you ate enough?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡±?? ¡±
She blinked a few times as if a thunderbolt had hit her brain.
She quickly picked up a book from the table, ¡°I have problems to do, don¡¯t bother me!¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at the book in her hand, ¡± ¡®English Level 4. Intensive Filling 36 Series?¡±
His slender fingers took away the book from her hands.
She immediately reached for the book and snatched it back again, ¡°I really have to do my problems. The test is less than a month away. Can you please not disturb me so I can study?¡±
¡°A harmonious couple rtionship is beneficial to your mental and physical health and leads to joy, which will aid you in studying better,¡± said Huo Jingshen, as he scooped her up in a princess carry. ¡°Be good. Keep your husbandpany for a while, and then continue to do problems.¡±

The next morning, the harsh sound of an rm clock rang.
Su Wanwan whimpered and fumbled around, iling her arms before lifting her feet to kick him.
Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow to hold her down and reached out his other hand to turn off the rm clock.
Finally, there was no more noise.
Su Wanwan pushed him away, rolled over, hugged the quilt, and went back to sleep.
Huo Jingshen looked at the time on the rm clock and called out, ¡°Baby, it¡¯s time to get up.¡±
There was no response.
¡°Baby, don¡¯t you have ss at nine o¡¯clock?¡±
Still no response.
¡°Baby¡.¡±
¡°Stop bothering me!¡± Su Wanwan kicked the quilt hard.
Huo Jingshen: ¡±???? ¡±
She really had a nasty temper when waking up.
Never mind, it was only seven o¡¯clock. Let her sleep for another half an hour.
When half an hour had passed and it was now seven-thirty, without another word, he lifted the duvet up, picked up Su Wanwan, and headed towards the bathroom.
In front of the mirror, Huo Jingshen asked her to stand in front of him, picked up a toothpaste and toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste onto the brush, then lifted her small hand and ced it in there, ¡°Hold it yourself and brush your teeth.¡±
Su Wanwan kept her eyes closed. Her messy hair fell over her small face, and she looked like she hadn¡¯t woken up fully just yet.
¡°Don¡¯t you have directing ss this morning? Brush your teeth and wash your face, and then your husband will send you to school. Be good, obey.¡±
Huo Jingshen felt as if he was taking care of his daughter. As she stayed motionless, he eventually pulled the toothbrush back, ¡°Open your mouth. Let your husband help you brush.¡±
Su Wanwan still didn¡¯t respond.
Huo Jingshen helplessly opened her mouth wide, and just as he put the toothbrush in, Su Wanwan pped his hand away and began to struggle.
¡°I won¡¯t brush! I won¡¯t brush! I won¡¯t brush! So annoying! I¡¯m sleepy, sleepy!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡±???? ¡°

Then she saw Su Wanwan¡¯sment, ¡°You don¡¯t go to ss, you¡¯re squatting at home all day studying this kind of egg-cutting problem?¡±
MoWeiyi:
It¡¯s over.
When posting on the Moments, she forgot to block Su Wanwan. This girl has a fear of vicious dogs, and she hates dogs the most.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s not good.¡± The voice of Aunt Zhou suddenly sounded, ¡°This Hua Xiaobai seems very ufortable, is it sick?¡±
Mo Weiyi got up and then shouted, ¡°Quick, call 120!¡±
Aunt Zhou looked speechless, ¡°Princess, 120 is for saving people.¡±
¡°What should we do then?¡± Mo Weiyi was in a hurry and shouted, ¡°Rong An, Rong An,e quickly!¡±
¡°Princess.¡± A bodyguard walked in, but it wasn¡¯t Rong An.
Mo Weiyi looked at him, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together, ¡°Why is it you? Where¡¯s Rong An?¡±
The bodyguard said,¡± Rong An has gone back to the old house.¡±
¡°Why go back to the old house for no reason?¡±
Since thest incident, Rong An has been staying in the Lishui Bay Vi these days.
Even if Mo Weiyi can only stay at home or asionally goes out for a walk, he always protects her every step of the way.
The bodyguard hesitated to speak.
Mo Weiyi suddenly had a feeling that something wasn¡¯t right, and hurriedly urged him, ¡°you speak, what happened to Rong An?¡±
The bodyguard had to say, ¡°The old man found out about your injury a few days ago, so he just called Rong An back.¡±
Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, ¡°Start the car, take me to the old house.¡±
As soon as she got in the car, Mo Weiyi immediately called Xiao Yebai.
The call was quickly connected, she asked, ¡°Xiaobai, where are you?¡±
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Xiao Yebai questioned instead, his voice was still as indifferent as usual.
¡°You tell me, where are you now? When will you be home?¡±
Every time she causes trouble or has an ident, Master Mo and Mo Yaoxiong would me Xiaobai. And now that Rong An has been called back, this matter also concerns Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi felt very uneasy.
As expected, Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I will be backter.¡±
¡°Are you going to the old house?¡± Mo Weiyi urged, ¡°Wait for me at the gate when you get there, don¡¯t go in by yourself, did you hear me?¡±
Xiao Yebai gave a lowugh, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to protect you, don¡¯t go in, wait for me, remember to wait for me, did you hear me?¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say a word.
Mo Weiyi was extremely anxious, ¡°Xiaobai, did you hear me? If you don¡¯t listen tome, I¡¯ll get angry!¡±
Finally, a low male voice came from the other end of the phone, ¡°OK.¡±
After hanging up, Mo Weiyi also called the old house.
But it was the servant who answered.
Mo Weiyi asked her, ¡°Where¡¯s my grandfather, let him answer my call.¡±
¡°Princess, master is busy now, he said he won¡¯t take calls from anyone.¡±
MoWeiyi:
She knew it!
After hanging up, she began to urge, ¡°Drive faster!¡±
Many years ago, the family¡¯s bodyguard was driving her mother to a performance, and there was a car ident on the way. Mo¡¯s grandfather only said three words ¨C ¡°go and pay the penalty.¡±
She didn¡¯t see that bodyguard again until half a yearter.
¡°Hurry, go faster!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but urged again.
¡°Princess, the car is already running at its fastest speed.¡± The bodyguard dared not drive fast at all. After all, safety was the most important thing. If something happened again, he would be the one who suffered.
Half an hourter, the car finally drove into the Mo¡¯s old house.
When she saw the familiar ck Bentley, Mo Weiyi was shocked. After getting out of the car, she rushed into the hall.
¡°Grandpa!¡±
Mo¡¯s grandfather was sitting on the main chair in the middle of the hall. The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. He was calm andposed with a cup of tea in his hand. When he saw her, he even had a kind smile on his face.
¡°Yiyi, why did you suddenlye back?¡±
Mo Weiyi went straight to Xiao Yebai.
When she saw that he was safe and sound, she sighed with relief, then turned to look at Mo¡¯s grandfather, ¡°Grandfather, where¡¯s Rong An?¡±
Grandfather Mo¡¯s smile remained unchanged, and his tone was as casual as ever, ¡°Rong An failed in his duties, he should be punished to learn a lesson. As for you.¡±
He looked at the tall, silent young man in front of him, snorted, and said, ¡°You can¡¯t even protect your own wife, and still try to hide this¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s me who asked them not to tell you! Plus the incident is my fault. Why are you punishing them?¡± Mo Weiyi interrupted directly, ¡°Moreover, they have already taught that pervert a lesson, look at me, I am fine.¡±
¡°I hope so. If there¡¯s anything¡¡± Grandfather Mo put the teacup back on the table, a cold sh passing under his smiling eyes, ¡°The two of them, no one can live.¡±
¡°Grandfather.¡± Mo Weiyi walked to grandfather¡¯s side, her eyes were red, ¡°I¡¯m really fine, Xiaobai also came to save me quickly. We didn¡¯t tell you because we were afraid that you would worry. As for Rong An, he has been with me for so many years, he¡¯s like a brother to me, always silently protecting me, and he almost went to jail for this incident, If you harm him, I will feel guilty.¡±
Grandfather Mo didn¡¯t change.
¡°Grandpa.¡± Mo Weiyi held Grandpa Mo¡¯s hand, shaking it nonstop, begging in a soft voice, ¡°Please spare Rong An, please, Grandpa, please, please¡ ¡±
Mo Weiyi was very anxious, but Grandpa Mo lowered his head to look at the bandages on her hands, and his face became even darker.
¡°Grandpa¡¡±

Su Wanwan was sincerely studying hard, solving problems, memorizing words, looking up references¡ so busy and enjoying it.
Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, was holding several entertainment gossip magazines, had earphones in his ears, listening to music while flipping through the magazines making ¡°whoosh¡± sounds.
The two sat together, in an oddly harmonious scene.
Until the desk was gently knocked twice.
Su Wanwan looked up.
Jiang Shuhao was wearing a basketball jacket with jeans. He had a sunny smile on his clean face. ¡°Su Wanwan, here is a level four intensive memory word bank I found. If you memorize all these words, I guarantee that you will definitely pass the level four examination.¡±
With that, he handed over a semi-new level four dictionary.
Su Wanwan opened it and saw that it was carefully marked with red, blue, and ck highlighters, highlighting key points, necessary to remember, potential exam questions¡
Everything was as clear as day; it couldn¡¯t have been more thoughtful.
She hesitated a bit, ¡°Is this yours?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Shuhao didn¡¯t hide it, ¡°I don¡¯t need it anymore; I¡¯ve passed both levels four and six. You can use it.¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned, ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit¡ inappropriate?¡±
It¡¯s normal for a ss president and academicmittee member to help struggling ssmates.
However, it was different because Lin Qiao was involved.
If she epted his help, it would inevitably stir up trouble.
She just wanted to study hard to pass the exams these days, and didn¡¯t want to waste precious time on these trivial matters.
Jiang Shuhao chuckled and said, ¡°You just transferred here. Although you¡¯ve been abroad for two years, your English listeningprehension is not a problem. But domestic examinations need lots of rote memorization. If you cram at thest minute, it¡¯s like finding a needle in a haystack. With this dictionary, your studies will be twice as effective. It¡¯s my duty as a ss president to help you, so don¡¯t overthink it.¡±
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for her response.
¡°Wow!¡± Mo Weiyi spoke at this point, ¡°Does this Jiang Shuhao want to pursue you?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Su Wanwan red at her, ¡°He knows I¡¯m married, it¡¯s impossible.¡±
Mo Weiyi was wearing only one earphone, smiling cunningly, ¡°Actually, if you don¡¯tpare him to Mr. Huo, this Jiang Shuhao is also quite handsome. After all, he is school¡¯s heartthrob. He is tall, has fair skin, and good features with big eyes. He seems to be a student council officer too; a promising young man.¡± ¡°Heh, how does hepare to your Xiaobai then?¡± Su Wanwan asked on purpose.
As she expected.
¡°Of course Xiaobai is the most handsome! With Xiaobai, all other men are just period-stop. And me, I won¡¯t settle!¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Can she go throw up first?
Her grades aren¡¯t great, but she sure cane up with sour phrases online.
Just then, her phone screen lit up. Su Wanwan, out of patience with her, picked up her phone to look.
It was a message from Qiao Zixin on WeChat.
[Wanwan, grandpa has something for me to give to you.]
[What is it?]
[It¡¯s a property deed for a house in Sanluo Garden. Grandpa said it was just recently processed by Mr. Xing.]
Su Wanwan remembers now.
A few months ago, because Xing Yuyun cheated on Su Yanyan and regretted his engagement, Mr. Xing had beaten him up in front of everyone and promised topensate her with a property.
She initially thought that was just a farce, but it turned out he was indeed processing the property deed.
Qiao Zixin quickly sent another message, [How about this, after work, I will directly take it to the Imperial Court to give you.]
Su Wanwan reflexively refused, [Could you please send it to my school, or I cane to yourpany to pick it up.]
[You¡¯re busy studying recently, right? I¡¯d better deliver it to you myself. Mypany is near the Imperial Court; it¡¯s very convenient for me to go there. See you tonight.]
Su Wanwan frowned.
Which meant¡ she has to go home tonight?
Why was there a constant stream of ghosts trying to interrupt her from studying hard?
**
Bingo Creative Company.
After sending the message, Qiao Zixin was very excited.
She looked at the property deed in her hand.
The Sanluo Garden¡¯s house had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. Even though it was not a luxury house, its current price was already several million yuan.
For the sake of so-called face, Grandpa Xing was really generous, Qiao Zixin thought with a sneer.
Originally, the property deed was brought home by Su Yunrongst night, saying that he would bring it to Su Wanwan when he went to school tomorrow. Qiao Zixin saw it, thought of an excuse, and took it.
She had never been to the Imperial Court before, most importantly, she could incidentally meet Huo Jingshen.
She nned to go over at dinner time tonight to avoid missing the meal.
Thinking of having dinner tonight with Huo Jingshen face to face¡
Qiao Zixin¡¯s pulse raced, she couldn¡¯t resist anymore, she got up, ¡°Bingbing.¡±
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Something urgent came up at home, can I take a half day off?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
After Qiao Zixin left thepany, she went directly to the styling salon.
Getting a hairstyle, putting on makeup, picking out clothes and shoes, matching¡
After several hours of preparation, she was radiant and exquisite.
Around five in the evening, she took a car to the Imperial Court.
She had the driver pull into the neighborhood, then dialed Su Wanwan¡¯s number, ¡°Wanwan, I¡¯m here, what¡¯s the vi number?¡±
¡°Number 69, someone should be home.¡±
¡°Where are you?¡± Qiao Zixin quickly asked.
¡°I¡¯m still on the way; the traffic is awful. Why don¡¯t¡you give the stuff to Aunt Han, and don¡¯t wait for me.¡±
¡°Got it.¡±
Although she said that, how could Qiao Zixin pass up this golden opportunity?
When the car stopped in front of vi number 69, she got out and deliberately dawdled near the entrance.
It wasn¡¯t until she saw a familiar ck Continental that she quickly turned around and pretended to ring the doorbell..

¡°Huanhuan!¡± Seeing Shi Huan, Shi Luoluo ran over enthusiastically.
As she approached, Shi Huan asked her, ¡°Luoluo, why is your phone off?¡±
Shi Luoluo searched through her bag for a while, her expression troubled, ¡°Huanhuan, I can¡¯t find my phone.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
¡°What should I do, if my phone is lost, will Grandma¡¡±
¡°No worries, I¡¯ll take you to buy a new er.¡±
¡°Mmm.¡± Shi Luoluo nodded her head, immediately smiling.
¡°Grandma Huo.¡± Chu Jingyi¡¯s voice suddenly rang out.
Old Lady Huo looked up, her expression slightly changing, then she quickly broke into a smile, ¡°Jingyi, howe you¡¯re here?¡±
However, in her heart, she was wondering why of all times, Chu Jingyi chose toe over the moment her granddaughter-inw had left and returned?
Ever since the ne incident, where Huo Jingshen had specifically called her to exin, Old Lady Huo felt annoyed every time she saw Chu Jingyi!
Especially with Su Wenwen right by her side.
Chu Jingyi walked over, smiling, her gaze hovering over Shi Huan and Shi Luoluo, ¡°Oh, you have guests today?¡±
Old Lady Huo replied, ¡°Ziyang is celebrating his fifth birthday today, so we invited a couple of his little friends over for dinner.¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s a birthday celebration. I apologize, I didn¡¯t know, so I didn¡¯t bring a gift-¡±
¡°No need, no need.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll definitely make it up to him next time.¡±
¡°Really no need, don¡¯t mention it¡¡±
As the two continued their exchange, Shi Huan spoke up at the right moment, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality today, Old Lady Huo. It¡¯s gettingte, and I should take Luoluo home.¡±
Old Lady Huo smiled benevolently, ¡°Go on, remember to visit more often and y with Ziyang.¡±
Su Wenwen immediately spoke up, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m also going back to school.¡±
Old Lady Huo didn¡¯t forget to remind her, ¡°Drive slowly on your way, if you¡¯re not up for it, let the driver take you, I don¡¯t trust you driving.¡±
She had learned at dinner that Su Wenwen had driven over, which had given her quite the scare.
Chu Jingyi stood aside, listening to the olddy¡¯s ramblings with a slight smile on her red lips.
Only when the three of them had left did she follow into the living room.
¡°Grandma Huo, are you familiar with this Shi Huan?¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
Chu Jingyi said, ¡°Last time she went with my brother to attend Grandpa¡¯s birthday banquet, she sat at the table next to us, don¡¯t you remember?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Old Lady Huo hadn¡¯t noticed at all.
After all, Chu Xiuhuang always brought different women each time. She paid attention at first, but then when she realized it was never the same woman twice, the olddy lost interest.
¡°My brother really doesn¡¯t grow up, he¡¯s already thirty and still fooling around, he doesn¡¯t even have a serious girlfriend. Now, any woman, no matter who they are, tries to get close to my brother.¡± Chu Jingyi spoke with hidden implications.
Old Lady Huo responded half-heartedly, ¡°Well¡ it takes two to tango, right?¡± Chu Jingyi¡¯s face slightly darkened, and she quickly added, ¡°Grandpa is really worried, but there¡¯s nothing we can do. With my brother¡¯s reputation, what good girl would want to get close to him? How about this, Grandma Huo, if you know any good girls, remember to introduce them to my brother.¡±
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Huo quickly waved her hand, ¡°No, no, if there are good girls, I have to save them for Nuanyang.¡±
Chu Jingyi:¡±¡¡±

When Su Wenwen returned to school, it was almost five in the afternoon.
Just as she parked the car, she received a call from Zhao Qianqian.
¡°Wanwan, it¡¯s almost five o¡¯clock, the canteen is about to open, do you want to treat me to dinner?¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°Why? Shouldn¡¯t you thank me for helping you get elected as the Departmental Rose? I pulled in a lot of votes for you!¡±
¡°Departmental Rose?¡±
What the heck?
¡°You don¡¯t know? The results for the Campus and Departmental Rose election that¡¯s been going on for half a month were announced today. The originally elected rose from our news department was Lin Qiao, but now it¡¯s you! Moreover, you ranked second and only lost to the Campus Rose by two votes! Don¡¯t you think you should thank me? If I hadn¡¯t been running around the women¡¯s dorms lobbying for votes¡¡±
¡°Damn it, I¡¯m grateful okay!¡± Su Wenwen interrupted her through gritted teeth.
Lin Qiao was the previous Departmental Rose for the news department, and now it¡¯s her? How can she tolerate this?
She could already sense a storm brewing!
¡°No need to mention it, just treat me to dinner tonight!¡± Zhao Qianqian sounded quite pleased.
Su Wenwen was even more speechless.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately opened up the school forum.
She typically didn¡¯t check the forum very often. She knew that she had been nominated before, but since there were so many nominees, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to it.
But she had never imagined that she would rank so high.
The reigning Campus Rose was still Mo Weiyi.
In the photo, she was standing in the wind in a red dress, her long curly hair gently bouncing, her delicate and fair face smiling beautifully in the golden sunlight.
With a tall figure, tasteful clothes, and a confident look, she fully embodied the persona of a campus flower.
The second ce went to Su Wenwen.
The photo submitted for her was from a previous evening party.
She wore a white shirt with matching dress pants, her dark curly hairplimented her oval face with heavy makeup. She was tossing a ck zer from her hand, her stage presence full of dynamic charm.
Aside from her cross-dressing performance at this party, she was basically invisible on campus!
And now she had so many votes thanks to Zhao Qianqian!
This was really going to kill her!
With things as they were, Su Wenwen, despite being annoyed, could only take things one step at a time..

Elsewhere, Su Yunrong takes Su Wanwan into the elevator.
As soon as the doors close, she speaks in a grave tone, ¡°When we reach the office, remember to be sincere. The forum incident has created a terrible impact and the school leaders are very angry. I will help to keep this from the Huo Family, you just remember to admit your mistakes¡¡±
¡°Admit my mistakes to whom?¡± Su Wanwan interrupts her.
Displeased, Su Yunrong still manages to say, ¡°The school leaders have already seen the posts on the forum. Not only that, this morning, someone also sent an email to the head of discipline, which is why I¡¯m taking you to the office.¡±
Su Wanwan replies, ¡°In those photos, some cars belong to my husband, some to the Huo Family¡¯s driver. The one holding my luggage is my husband¡¯s assistant, and that Ye Qitian is a friend of mine from Los Angeles. He got excited after not seeing me for a while, which is why the video of us was taken.¡±
Thinking Su Yunrong would believe her these words, she didn¡¯t expect¡
¡°Do you have any evidence?¡±
¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s face darkens instantly.
It¡¯s one thing if others don¡¯t believe her, but Su Yunrong is her aunt, and she knows about her marriage to Huo Jingshen.
¡°You¡¯re married and yet you can¡¯t settle down. You¡¯re always messing around with different men. Now all your past affairs have been exposed. If the Huo Family finds out, what will they think of you? What will they think of our Su Family?¡±
¡°You believe what you see from a few manipted photos?¡±
¡°There is no smoke without fire. Considering your past mistakes, the many photos taken of you fooling around with men, you still consider yourself wronged? Why would they target you and not someone else?¡± Su Yunrong questions aggressively, ¡°Do you know that all the students and teachers of our school are discussing this? Just now, even reporters from the newspaper called to question the integrity of our school¡¯s learning environment! All because of you. You are tainting the reputation of our entire school. Do you think this is eptable?¡±
Unable to hold back, Su Wanwan scoffs, ¡°What if I took some photos of you with the school leaders? Would it mean that you¡¯ve slept your way up to your professor position?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Su Yunrong¡¯s face instantly turns red as a beet. Instinctively, she lifts her hand wanting to teach Wanwan a lesson.
But her hand is caught halfway by Su Wanwan who then flings it away.
Stumbling back, Su Yunrong hits the elevator wall and almost trips over her medium-heeled shoes.
The entire elevator shakes as a result.
¡°Do you think I¡¯m still a child? To be beaten and scolded at your adults¡¯ whims?¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Su Wanwan interrupts once more, ¡°Now you know what it feels like to be wronged. Isn¡¯t it infuriating?¡±
At this, Su Yunrong¡¯s face turned ashen.
Can¡¯t believe her niece would have the guts to talk back to her?
Then Su Wanwan continues, ¡°You¡¯re my elder. When I face such problem, you, as the first person to know, rather than help to seek out the truth and clear my name, straightaway deduced that it was my fault! Shame on you, a university professor. You don¡¯t even have the ability to tell right from wrong! Just following the crowd and making unfounded usations. It¡¯s nonsense! Let me tell you, everything in the posts is nder. What I didn¡¯t do, I didn¡¯t do! Without evidence, no one can penalize me in any way!¡±
At this point, the elevator door opens. Su Yunrong straightens herself up, adjusts her hair and clothes, her tone once again level, ¡°Why don¡¯t you save these words for the head of discipline!¡±
¡°Alright then.¡± Su Wanwan smiles lightly.
The head of discipline knows her rtionship with Huo Jingshen. After all, he was the one who asked her to meet Huo Jingshenst time.
So, once they enter the office, Su Wanwan doesn¡¯t say a word while Su Yunrong fusses about her wrongdoings.
Until she says, ¡°Wanwan, apologize to the head.¡±
Su Wanwan remains silent.
Then, the head of discipline waves her off, ¡°That¡¯s enough Professor Su, I already know about the matter. You may leave first.¡±
Startled, Su Yunrong says, ¡°But Wanwan, she¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already investigated the matter thoroughly. It is entirely fabricated nder! I have found the IP of the poster, so let¡¯s just end it here. Professor Su, you may leave first.¡±
Su Yunrong frowns, but since the head of discipline has made a decision, she has no choice but to leave.
Once the door closes, the head¡¯s serious expression immediately turns to a gentle smile, ¡°Su student, why didn¡¯t you tell me about such a serious issue beforehand?¡±
Su Wanwan looks at him, ¡°Did you find out the IP of the poster? Who is it?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyelid twitches.
¡°But don¡¯t worry Su student, you are the daughter-inw of the Huo Family. How could you possibly do such a thing? Rest assured, the school will delete all the posts, ban all participants who discussed the matter, and issue a school-wide notice. Anyone who unreasonably defames another in the future will be dealt with ording to school regtions! Serious offenders will be expelled!¡±
Su Wanwan gazes at him, unsure if she should offer gracias or¡
¡°Alright, go back to ss now,¡± the head continues with his benevolent smile.
Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan decides to let it be for now.
The school is stepping in, so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon, saving her the hassle.
Once Su Wanwan has left, the head of discipline immediately dials a number, ¡°Hello, is this Assistant Ji?¡±
Over there, Ji Jie is taken aback, ¡°May I ask who this is?¡±

Ji Jie looked dazed on the other end, ¡°May I know who is this?¡±
¡°I am the head of the journalism department of Nancheng University. I would like to report personally to Mr. Huo about Mrs. Huo¡¯s situation, but his phone is not reachable.¡±
¡°Mr. Huo is away on a business trip to the United Kingdom.¡±
¡°I see, well¡ can you please share with me Mr. Huo¡¯s contact information?
Even an email address is fine.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Thus, when Huo Jingshen woke up and turned on hisputer, he received greetings from across the ocean.
He looked at the scene in the video.
Ye Qitian was spinning Su Wanwan in front of a red Maserati. They both were in the prime of their youth. Combined with the dreamy bubble filter effect, they looked wonderful and youthful, just like a pair of young lovers in the campus.
Then he listened to the background song.
¡°You know, my feelings for you are more than just liking you, yet you don¡¯t see¡¡±
More than just liking?
Then what is it?
Love?
Ha-ha.
It seems that in his absence from the country, the little girl had indeed been leading a very fulfilling life.
The report sent by the head of the department was very detailed, even all the pictures and videos were sent over.
He mainly wanted to make a good impression on Mr. Huo, little did he know that he would soon receive a long-distance call from the United Kingdom.
As soon as he heard the voice on the phone, the head of the department was extremely respectful, ¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
¡°You handled this matter well.¡±
Upon hearing the praise, the head of the department was overjoyed, ¡°Mr. Huo, you¡¯re too kind. This is my duty. Seeing Mrs. Huo performing excellently in the school, I knew right away that the posts were pure rumors. Please rest assured, Mr. Huo, everything has been taken care of.¡±
¡°Do me two more favors.¡±
¡°Please tell me, Mr. Huo.¡±

Su Wenwen had no idea that the video of her and Ye Qitian had been circted across the ocean.
Back in the ssroom.
Everyone turned their heads to look at her, most of them with an expression of anticipation for a good show.
Di Chenghe spoke with an even tone, ¡°Come in.¡±
Returning to her seat, Zhao Qianqian immediately leaned in, ¡°What did they say? What did they say?¡±
Su Wenwen replied, ¡°It¡¯s all good.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Zhao Qianqian was thrilled, ¡®T knew it, the school leadership is quite wise.¡±
Su Wenwen smiled and started paying attention to the lecture.
Not far away, Lin Qiao stole a nce and quickly looked away.
*
*
After two periods.
Zhao Qianqian looked at her phone and immediately stood up, ¡°The school has already issued a notice! Let¡¯s see who dares to gossip now!¡±
Everyone in the ss hurriedly picked up their phones.
Su Wenwen also opened the forum.
She saw that the previously hot threads on the forum¡¯s homepage hadpletely disappeared.
Instead, a bold blue notice issued by the school was pinned at the top.
The content was more or less the same as what the head of the department had said earlier.
Su Wenwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
When she left the ssroom, it was buzzing once again.
¡°The school issued a notice stating that it was defamation by the person who posted the thread?¡±
¡°The posts have all been deleted!¡±
¡°Damn, I only replied saying that one shouldn¡¯t judge a book by its cover, and my ount got suspended?¡±
¡°See if you dare to spread rumors in the future!¡±
¡°Ha-ha-ha-ha¡¡±
Someone raised a doubt, ¡°They say Su Wenwen got a backer, it¡¯s solid evidence now, right?¡±
¡°Such a big thing happened and there was no exnation, they just deleted the post and banned the ount!¡±
¡°What can we do? This is what the school says. Who would dare to bring up this matter in the future?¡±
Lin Qiao suddenly spoke, ¡°Our new department flower is impressive, right? A trip to the head of the department¡¯s office and the issue is resolved.¡±
Everyone looked at her, each with a different expression.
¡°So, you all be careful in the future, don¡¯t upset her again. Be careful of the head of the department causing trouble for you.¡± After saying that, Lin Qiao got up and left with a smile.
Su Wenwen, do you think everything is over with the support of the head of the department?
Not at all!

Not long after Su Wenwen returned to the dormitory, someone knocked on the door.
¡°I am the dormitory manager. There will be a water pipe inspection in this dormitory building. You might want to pack up your stuff. You can¡¯t stay here for these few days.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wenwen was stunned.
¡°If you are not a local resident of Nancheng, you can go to the nearest Home Inns with other students. The school will reimburse youter.¡±
Su Wenwen was speechless, ¡°Then¡how long will the inspection take?¡±
The manager said, ¡°Until next Monday.¡±
¡°Okay, I understand.¡±
Even though it was baffling, Su Wenwen had no choice.
She will have to go home.
That¡¯s just as well. She wouldn¡¯t have to deal with all the gossipmongers at school and fortunately, Huo Jingshen was not home.
She quickly packed her things and drove home.
Halway through, she received a call from Mo Weiyi.
¡°Wenwen, it¡¯s an emergency!¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Do you have any films at your ce? I want ones from Neon Country, not from the West.¡±
Upon hearing this, Su Wenwen trembled with fright and almost drove onto the next road.
She rolled her eyes fiercely, ¡°Mo Xiaose! What on earth are you thinking about all day!¡±
¡°Whimper, all the films I have prepared before disappeared suddenly. I have justpleted the makeup, your ce surely has them, help me find them now, I need to borrow one urgently.¡±
¡°Why would I have that kind of thing at my ce?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t pretend, you¡¯re already married, how can you not have them. Look for them quickly, I¡¯ll ask the bodyguard to drive over and pick up.¡±
Before Su Wenwen could reply, the call was hung up.
Su Wenwen continued to drive, then she suddenly remembered an incident from when she first visited the mansion and met Huo Jingshen and his friends, it seemed like someone had gifted an entire box of¡.
Chapter 351: 351, there are thieves at home.
Chapter 351: there are thieves at home.
Trantor: 549690339
Fine, let¡¯s just find them and give them all to Mo Xiaose. This way, I won¡¯t be utterly embarrassed if they are discovered by a shameless old man in the future.
With this decision made, Su Wanwan started to rummage through her room when she returned home.
In the end, she really found them in a cab.
A whole bag full of them!
Damn!
Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned red and her heart pounded as she quickly covered it with another bag.
About ten minutester, their maid Aunt Han came knocking, ¡°Madam, someone is looking for you.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Carrying the bag and not daring to lift her head, Su Wanwan went downstairs guiltily.
Aunt Han:¡±¡¡±
What¡¯s gotten into Madam?
*
*
Su Wanwan thought Rong An would be fetching the items, she didn¡¯t expect another burly man she didn¡¯t know toe.
He was broad-shouldered and muscr, almost bursting out of his ck suit.
When he took the bag, he actually started inspecting the contents.
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Su Wanwan shouted in panic.
The bodyguard looked up and exined seriously, ¡°I must do a preliminary examination of anything given to the princess.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to check, these are indeed her items!¡± Su Wanwan, seeming anxious, her face flushed and ears red.
Inspection right in front of her?
Was this necessary?
If he opened it now and saw the contents, he might think she bought them, how would he view her in the future?
The bodyguard continued with a serious expression, ¡°No, it must be examined.¡±
With that said, he opened the bag without any hesitation.
Su Wanwan simply did not have time to stop him.
She then witnessed the bodyguard, with furrowed eyebrows and stern features, examining every item in the bag.
Things got worse when Aunt Han suddenly came downstairs in the process.
She curiously leaned in to see!
When she saw what the bodyguard was holding, papers printed with various exaggerated marketing phrases and explicit, vivid images¡
She blushed, swiftly turned on her heel, and walked away.
In her anxiety, she almost tripped and fell!
Su Wanwan held her forehead helplessly.
What kind of karma did she umte?
Why did she have to know someone like Mo Xiaose?
Finally, after the examination, the bodyguard said in a cold voice, ¡°Thank you Miss Su, there are no issues.¡±
It was only when he gathered up the bag and turned to go that Su Wanwan noticed his ears were bright red.
How ridiculously embarrassing!
*
*
The bodyguard hadn¡¯t been gone long when it began to get dark, followed by the sudden sounding of thunder.
¡°Madam, it seems like it¡¯s going to rain,¡± Aunt Han quickly said, walking into the master bedroom to close the doors and windows.
Not long after, she went into the other rooms to do the same.
Su Wanwan went onto the balcony.
Although it was only four or five in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and the distance was not easy to see.
Soon after, a light rain began to fall. The autumn wind made the atmosphere chilly.
The master bedroom in the vi wasrge, perhaps because she hadn¡¯t stayed there for a few days, the room seemed even more spacious than usual.
Especially in this rainy weather, the dampness was heavier, and there was an inexplicable sense of destion and loneliness.
After eating dinner, Aunt Han finished her chores and went back to her room downstairs to rest. Su Wanwan was left alone in the vast master bedroom, feeling unnaturally quiet as she studied.
At eleven o¡¯clock in the evening.
After her bath, Su Wanwan went to bed.
The cold wind and bitter rain outside were blocked by the curtains. She closed her eyes and inhaled the faint, chilly yet familiar scent in the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.
She was in a deep sleep, until¡
Su Wanwan jolted awake, her eyes opening to a pitch-ck room.
She felt a damp, cold sensation, simr to the feeling of being watched.
Not having time to think, Su Wanwan raised her fist and struck out.
Hearing a muffled groan, she quickly followed up with a powerful kick.
¡°Hiss!¡±
This time the muffled groan seemed louder.
And Su Wanwan seemed to have somewhate around, um, this voice sounds familiar. Could it be¡
Before she could speak.
¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡±
A man¡¯s deep and clearly displeased voice resounded familiarly in the dark.
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart thumped.
At the same time, themp was switched on.
The bedroom was suddenly as bright as daylight.
Su Wanwan raised her hand and covered her eyes, taking a while to adjust to the harsh light.
Once she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting to one side, his dark eyes narrowed, holding his nose and staring at her with an overcast expression.
He hadn¡¯t even taken off his suit and was still wearing a shirt and trousers underneath. He was even wearing a tie and wristwatch. By the looks of it, he found her as soon as he entered the house and then¡
She had hit him!
Feeling guilty, Su Wanwan quickly asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Huo Jingshen, his hair somewhat messy and his eyes narrowed, stared at her with an overcast expression and remained silent.
Su Wanwan felt even more uneasy. She reached out and pulled his hand away from his face, ¡°Are you bleeding? Let me check.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡±
Checking and seeing that there was no real damage and his nose was still as high and handsome as ever, Su Wanwan was relieved.
She immediately started scolding him, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me beforehand? Why didn¡¯t you turn on the light and just crawl into bed? I thought we had a burr!¡±
Huo Jingshen coldly scoffed, ¡°If your husband is a thief, then what are you?¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned, it took her a moment to react, ¡°What?¡±
¡°You are a little white flower,¡± Huo Jingshen stated.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
God!
So he is a¡
Flower thief?

¡°My goodness, I need to divert the conversation quickly, ¡°By the way, have you finished your work over there?¡±
¡°Can Ie back to care for you if I¡¯m still busy?¡± replied Huo Jingshen, sneering.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
In fact, after receiving a certain email, Huo Jingshen immediately booked the earliest flight back.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bedroom earlier, he saw the little girl.
Dressed in a pink nightdress, with her seaweed-like hair spread out, and eyes closed, she slept peacefully lovely just like a pure angel.
He has excellent night vision, so he did not turn on the light, but unexpectedly¡
¡°You¡¯re so carefree at home while I¡¯m away on a business trip, huh? Driving?
epting gifts from men? And even indulging in some¡romantic antics?¡±
With every revtion, Su Wenwen¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Did he know everything already?
¡°Now, not even this room can I enter?¡±
¡°Who said you couldn¡¯te into the bedroom?¡± Su Wenwen retorted.
¡°Then who was the one who just punched me and kicked me, nearly breaking my bones?¡±
Breaking bones?
Isn¡¯t that an exaggeration?
But Su Wenwen was frightened, and could only exin sheepishly, ¡°I said it wasn¡¯t intentional. It was¡ it was¡ self-defense!¡±
¡°Did you have to defend yourself against your own husband?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She muttered quietly, ¡°But it¡¯s not early anymore, and I have ss in the morning.¡±
¡°Indeed, it¡¯ste.¡± Huo Jingshen wasn¡¯t an easy one topromise.
Su Wanwan again:¡±¡¡±
The next morning.
When Su Wanwan woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Although the curtains were closed, the bright light still shone through.
Su Wanwan sat up abruptly, then immediately yelped in pain and fell back.
The noise startled the man who was originally in the bathroom toe out. ¡°Awake, sweetheart?¡±
Su Wenwenid there, her eyes teary as she looked at him, ¡°What¡¯s the time?¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at his watch, ¡°Noon. Twelve o¡¯clock.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.
Noon already?
How long has it been since shest slept sote?
And what¡¯s most concerning is¡ she had a morning ss today, her ss advisor¡¯s journalism ss.
Did she just skip it?
¡°I¡¯ve already called in sick for you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but still red at him, ¡°Bastard, why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±
¡°I wanted you to sleep in.¡± With that, Huo Jingshen approached her, ¡°Since you¡¯re awake, get up and have lunch. I¡¯ll take you to school in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Okay¡oh, wait!¡± Su Wanwan suddenly objected.
¡°What now?¡±
Su Wanwan huffed, ¡°Your car is too shy. Thest time you drove me to school, someone took a picture and posted it on the school forum. Now all the gossips at school call you the ¡®old codger¡¯ who sponsors me!¡±
¡°I¡¯m an ¡®old codger¡¯?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s face darkened.
¡°They¡¯ve never seen what you look like, who knows if you¡¯re old or not?
Moreover, I¡¯m the one who ended up with a bad reputation. The whole school thinks I¡¯m promiscuous, earning money by selling myself!¡±
Talking about this, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help butin about him.
If it weren¡¯t for him consistently making herte or leave early, even driving a luxury car to the school and those ambiguous photographs that got taken¡ Would there be these many misunderstandings and rumors now?

Meanwhile, at Nancheng University.
After two morning sses, Lin Qiao was about to leave the ssroom when suddenly, the Dean of Students appeared at the ssroom door.
¡°Is Su Wenwen here?¡±
At the mention of this name, Lin Qiao quickly looked up, ¡°Sir, Su Wenwen did note to ss this morning.¡±
The Dean of Students nodded, ¡°When she arrives, tell her to see me in my office.¡±
¡°Yes, Sir.¡±
After the Dean left, Lin Qiao furrowed her brow in thought.
Why was he suddenly calling for Su Wanwan?
Could it be he was going to¡
¡°What do you think the Dean wants with Su Wanwan?¡± a female ssmate echoing her thoughts, asked from behind.
¡°What else could it be? To do¡ something romantic, haha¡¡± a girl who had always disliked Su Wanwan said.
¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. The Dean sent a notice yesterday, watch you don¡¯t end up on the cklist.¡±
Who cares, isn¡¯t it just cool to have someone backing you up?¡±
¡°What can we do? Who would stand up to the Dean¡¯s charm, haha¡¡± The two girls giggled at their own conversation.
Lin Qiao moved closer and consciously added, ¡°That¡¯s impossible, isn¡¯t it? The Dean is over forty.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with forty? Didn¡¯t you see in that post, there were even guys over fifty?¡±
Exactly, remember thest time Su Wenwen went to see the Dean, they stayed in his office for over an hour!¡±
¡°The Dean sent out a notice yesterday, and today Su Wenwen didn¡¯t show up for ss, who¡¯s got courage enough to be that arrogant without someone backing them up?¡±
¡°Now that exins why the matter was suppressed so quickly!¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is, hahaha¡¡±
¡°What can we do, we don¡¯t have skills like her, able to please the Dean so well.¡±
¡°Exactly¡¡±
The two girls continued exaggerating until Lin Qiao interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t say such things, maybe the Dean just wants to discuss something important with Su Wenwen.¡±
¡°Give me a break, Lin Qiao, I remember you used to hate her too. Why are you suddenly defending her?¡±
Lin Qiao said, ¡°The school already issued a notice. Plus, there¡¯s no proof.¡± Immediately one of the girls said, ¡°Don¡¯t you believe it? Want to bet? Let¡¯s follow her when shees to school and see for ourselves.¡±
¡°See what?¡±
¡°What do you think well see?¡± The girl said, and thenughed with her friend. Lin Qiao frowned. ¡°But¡what if we¡¯re discovered and the Dean gets angry?¡± ¡°How dare he get angry after fooling around with a student?¡± The girl was bold. ¡°Everyone knows that the person backing Su Wenwen is him.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
¡°I n to record it on my phone, oh my, Scandal involving the Dean of
Students and a student, the news would be so exciting¡¡±
¡°How about this,¡± Lin Qiao gave it a thought, ¡°didn¡¯t the ss monitor say we were going to discuss our graduation internships next semester? I¡¯ll invite him along.¡±
The two girls looked at each other then nodded, ¡°Okay, okay.¡± With the ss monitor and a few other student leaders involved, when they caught her, it would be¡
Simply too exciting!

At half past one in the afternoon, Huo Jingshen drove up to the school gate. After stopping the car, Su Wanwan immediately unbuckled her seatbelt ¡°I¡¯m off.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Su Wanwan was a bit surprised.
That¡¯s it?
He didn¡¯t say anything else?
Subconsciously, she looked at Huo Jingshen.
Beneath that noble and straight nose were thin lips, habitually pursed into a straight line. The area around his lips was clean and the jawline was smooth and beautiful.
Then Su Wanwan suddenly thought of a phrase.
¡°Men with thin lips are heartless.¡±
What a bunch of nonsense!
Where was this man heartless?
In private, he waspletely unrestrained¡
¡°Baby.¡± His low voice suddenly sounded and Huo Jingshen looked at her from
the corner of his deep, dark eyes, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°¡Nothing.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly averted her gaze and was about to push open the door but was stopped by his hand.
¡°Liar.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°You were ring at my mouth. So tell me, what were you thinking?¡± Huo
Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, his expression full of danger.
Su Wanwan blinked, ¡°I¡I just¡¡±
¡°Just say it, your husband will back you up.¡± With that, Huo Jingshen smirked.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
But then she had an idea.
¡°Okay.¡±
She leaned in.
A peck.
Wanting to get out of the car, she was pulled back by him again.
¡°Go now.¡±
Su Wanwan, stili somewhat dazed, pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
It was not until the young girl¡¯s figure disappeared into the school gate did Huo Jingshen pick up his phone. His voice returned to its usual depth and coldness.
¡°In an hour, get everyone to the office.¡±
*
*
*
As soon as Su Wanwan entered the school gate, a few female students walked towards her.
She didn¡¯t know them.
But the girls started pointing at her and whispering to each other, clearly not saying anything kind.
Su Wanwan stopped, standing still and watching them.
She didn¡¯t say anything, her small face was cold, and her phoenix eyes stared directly at them.
Finally, it was them who got embarrassed. They quickly ran away from each other.
Only then did Su Wanwan walk towards the ssroom building.
As soon as she entered the ssroom, Lin Qiao came up to her, ¡°Su Wanwan.¡±
Su Wanwan looked up at her, still wondering why this annoying girl came to her so boldly?
¡°The Dean of Students asked you to see him in his office,¡± Lin Qiao said, her
eyes sweeping across Su Wanwan¡¯s face..
Chapter 354: 354, do you need me to show you my marriage certificate?

Trantor: 549690339
¡°The counselor asked you to see him in his office.¡± Lin Qiao said, ncing at Su Wenwen¡¯s neck.
She¡¯s so shameless!
The post was barely deleted before she eagerly went to do that kind of thing with an old man!
She even dared to skip the morning ss!
And she left so many marks on her neck, as if she¡¯s afraid that people wouldn¡¯t notice?
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Su Wanwan frowned.
Didn¡¯t we deal with everything yesterday?
¡°How would I know?¡± Lin Qiao said impatiently, ¡°He asked you to see him, now hurry up.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
After Su Wenwen left the ssroom, two girls got up and signaled Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao nodded, and walked over to Jian Shuhao, ¡°Shuhao, the teacher asked us ss leaders to discuss about the internship program in his office.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
Lin Qiao quickly went to Zhao Qianqian, ¡°Qianqian, you should join us.¡± ¡°Okay.¡±
**
Su Wanwan arrived at the office, and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and the counselor said cheerfully, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re here.¡±
¡°Mr. Counselor, do you need me for something?¡±
The counselor gestured, ¡°Sit down and we¡¯ll talk.¡±
Uh.
Su Wanwan felt utterly confused, ¡°Sir¡¡±
¡°Sit down and wait for a bit, I have to handle something.¡± After that, the counselor turned around and left, taking care to close the door as well.
Su Wanwan stood there, her face showing her confusion.
After looking around, she waited in a near-catatonic state on the sofa.
She sat upright initially, but when the counselor didn¡¯t return, she rxed and started browsing her phone.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, the movement of the doorknob could be heard.
Su Wanwan hastily stood up, ready and respectful.
The door opened.
The first thing that came into view was a pair of straight, long legs in ck tailored suit trousers. The trousers were immacte and ironed stiff.
Beneath that shone polished, dust-free ck leather shoes.
Upon seeing that familiar masculine face, Su Wanwan waspletely stunned.
**
A half-hourter, Lin Qiao arrived with the ss monitor and several other ss representatives.
The counselor was still yapping on, and as the elevator doors opened, they saw a group of reporters in the hallway.
Big cameras, microphones in hands; it was quite a spectacle.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± the ss monitor asked anxiously, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
One reporter asked, ¡°Could you please tell us where Director Zhou¡¯s office is?¡±
Zhou was the director of the Journalism Department.
Lin Qiao quickly asked, ¡°What do you guys want with Director Zhou?¡± The reporter said, ¡°We¡¯ve received a tip-off about a female student¡¯s sex scandal. We want to interview Director Zhou.¡±
What a coincidence?
Lin Qiao couldn¡¯t believe it. This scandal had even reached the media¡¯s ears?
Well, it makes sense. Who doesn¡¯t love gossip?
Nancheng University being the barometer of education in Nancheng, and the forum was just on the brink of a big mess. Someone must¡¯ve spilled it to the reporters.
Lin Qiao was secretly delighted, ¡°I¡¯ll lead you there.¡±
With a nce, the two girls quickly followed suit.
The ss monitor wanted to stop her, but couldn¡¯t keep up.
Lin Qiao, leading the reporters, knocked on the office door, but there was no response.
Were they fooling around inside?
Before she had a chance to think, she impulsively opened the door and barged in.
Then she saw a man in a ck suit sitting on the sofa, with Su Wanwan on hisp. They seemed to be¡
Ahhh¡ Lin Qiao screamed in excitement.
The reporters, with their professional instincts, rushed in with their cameras.
The others quickly followed.
In no time at all, the small office was crowded.
Lin Qiao stood to the side and listened to the reporters asking questions in all directions:
Director Zhou, may I ask what you are doing?¡±
¡°Is this a student from the school?¡±
¡°I heard that Director Zhou often uses his position to take advantage of female students, how do you exin this?¡±
¡°Youngdy, are you here voluntarily?¡±
The ss teacher had already rushed in, his face very panicked, ¡°What¡¯s going
Lin Qiao hastily exined in good faith, ¡°Teacher, Su Wanwan and Director
Zhou have been¡ caught in an affair in the office!¡±
¡°An affair?¡± The volume of the ss teacher suddenly increased.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, ¡°What are you all doing in my office!¡±
Lin Qiao turned around and was stunned, ¡°Direct¡ Director¡ how could you¡¡±
The man standing at the door was the director of discipline?
Then, who was the man on the sofa?
The ss teacher was also a little confused, and a few student leaders on the side were even more baffled.
On the sofa, Su Wenwen got off Huo Jingshen¡¯sp with her face red.
¡°Director Zhou.¡± The man¡¯s voice was deep and maic, possessing the unique charm specific to mature men.
¡°Mr. Huo, I was wrong.¡± The disciplinary director felt bitter in his heart and rushed to exin, ¡°Mr. Huo, I just went downstairs to pick up a package, I really didn¡¯t know anything, Mr. Huo, I¡¯ve been wronged¡¡±
Separated by a group of reporters, he couldn¡¯t see Mr. Huo¡¯s expression, but his good deed suddenly interrupted, moreover, interrupted by a group of reporters, this¡
The disciplinary director¡¯s back was breaking out in a cold sweat. After speaking, he stared fiercely at Lin Qiao, ¡°Who let you bring the reporters here!¡± Lin Qiao¡¯s face turned pale with fright, he couldn¡¯t even speak properly, ¡°I¡ I didn¡¯t know¡¡±
At that moment, finally, a female reporter recognized him, ¡°Mr. Huo? How could it be Mr. Huo!¡±
Another male reporter who didn¡¯t recognize him asked, ¡°Who¡¯s Mr. Huo?¡±
The female reporter red at him, ¡°Don¡¯t you know the president of Huo Yuan
Group? How much you are out of touch!¡±
¡°¡¡± The male reporter waspletely startled.
Looking at Huo Jingshen again.
He sat on the sofa, his custom-made ck suit exuding a cold light, embodying a sense of superiority.
His features were handsome, his eyes slightly squinted. The light came from the side, making his eyes appear deep and inscrutable.
His thin lips tensed into a straight line, his jaw line was also serious, revealing his displeasure at this moment.
But the next second, all the reporters as if injected with adrenaline, they raised their mics and rushed over:
¡°Mr. Huo, what is your rtionship with this female student?¡±
¡°Is this your girlfriend?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, why are you dating your girlfriend in the office?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips lifted into a shallow arc, he lifted his eyelids, coldly looking at the men holding the microphones, ¡°Why do you think I am dating my wife in the office?¡±
His voice was exceptionally indifferent and tense, yet his words set off a wave
of shock among the reporters and caused a stir on the scene.
¡°Damn, did I hear wrong?¡±
Is this the so-called daughter-inw of the Huo Family?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo, are you telling the truth?¡±
¡°Is this woman really your wife?¡±
¡°Are you guys actually married?¡±
¡°Mr. Huo¡¡±
With a sullen face, Huo Jingshen scoffed, ¡°Do you need me to show you our marriage certificate?¡±
At this time, the disciplinary director finally squeezed in from the periphery.
Since Huo Jingshen personally admitted his identity, he then solemnly exined, ¡°Everyone, please be quiet, I am the dean of the journalism department, my name is Zhou. As a matter of fact, Mr. Huo and Ms. Su were married quite some time ago, but because there were some defamatory posts on the school forum that caused serious psychological damage to Ms. Su a few days ago, Mr. Huo hurried back from a business trip overseas and arranged to meet Ms. Su here, wanting tofort his wife. Ms. Su has always been very low-key in school, and Mr. Huo also prefers not to be ostentatious. A few times before, I acted as a bridge and arranged for them to meet here. I didn¡¯t expect that it would lead to such a misunderstanding today. I hope everyone can understand and refrain from harboring negative thoughts.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±
¡°It was all a misunderstanding!¡±
¡°Mr. Huo is really low-key!¡±
Some reporters began to ask, ¡°So have you figured out what happened on the forum?¡±
¡°Yes, we received a tip that there are defamatory posts about Mrs. Huo on your school forum.¡±
¡°There must be someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes, right?¡±
¡°Of course, there¡¯s no way the daughter-inw of the Huo family would have an inappropriate rtionship with another man!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve seen the screenshots of those men, none of them are as handsome as Mr Huo!¡±
¡°Exactly, exactly!¡±
¡°Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the perfect couple!¡±
¡°A match made in heaven!¡±
¡°They are made for each other!¡±
A twitch appeared on the corners of Su Wenwen¡¯s mouth as she listened.
Were these reporters here to tter them?
Couldn¡¯t they be a little less obvious with their adoration?

Isn¡¯t that outright brown-nosing?
She sneaked a nce at Huo Jingshen.
He was sitting there, his long legs crossed, lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes full of pleasure. He simply couldn¡¯t be any happier!
In the midst of the praising voices, a figure quietly turned to leave as if trying
to sneak away unnoticed.
However, she had barely reached the door when¡
¡°Stop! Nobody is allowed to leave!¡± The Dean of Discipline roared out of nowhere, startling her so much that she turned white with fear.
Immediately following it¡
¡°Our Nancheng University, with a rich history of 100 years, has always upheld the motto of being united, disciplined, and academically rigorous. The purpose of the discussion forum is to provide a tform for students tomunicate and exchange ideas, not to spread rumors, incite malicious arguments, or even deliberately defame, nder, or malign others!¡± The Dean of Discipline said with a stern look. ¡°Lin, is this urgency to leave because of a guilty conscience?¡±
All eyes turned to Lin Qiao.
The homeroom teacher was also stunned. ¡°Dean Zhou, are you implying that
all those posts were made by Lin Qiao?¡±
¡°Teacher Wang, it wasn¡¯t me!¡± Lin Qiao hurriedly denied.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t you, who else could it be?¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but step forward and use, ¡°In the whole school, besides Weiyi, you and Jian Shuhao are the only ones from my high school. If it wasn¡¯t you, could it be him?
Jian Shuhao, however, had no reaction at this time.
Because he was still in shock. Su Wanwan¡how did she be the wife of Mr.
Huo?
What happened to being rtives?
Su Wenwen continued, ¡°You told me the Dean wanted to see me. You then intentionally brought the homeroom teacher, ssmittee, and a bunch of reporters. You barged in without even knocking. Could all this be a coincidence? Were you possibly trying to catch me doing something wrong?
Lin Qiao bit her lip.
Only now was she starting to realize that something was off.
Exactly, could it really be such a coincidence?
The Dean just happened to summon Su Wanwan, a group of reporters just happened to be looking for the Dean, and they just happened to burst in and find Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan on the couch together¡
Normally, how could reporters be allowed into the school?
Not to mention wandering around the office building?
Plus, she was sure she had knocked on the door earlier!
¡°It was obviously you! Are you still trying to deny it?
The usations in her head confused Lin Qiao, and without thinking about earlier events, all she could do was deny it. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! Definitely not me! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check the forum IP! Check my phone!¡± ¡°The posts all got shut down, how do we check?¡± The girl who had initially wanted to catch the cheaters in the act started talking, ¡°You¡¯re the main suspect out of everyone in the school because we all know that you¡¯ve always had it in for Su Wenwen!¡±
Lin Qiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.
This treacherous girl, she was the one who suggested just now that they should catch the cheaters in the act!
¡°Exactly!¡± Another girl also saw the way the wind was blowing and chimed in, ¡°On Su Wanwan¡¯s first day in ss, you argued with her in front of everyone. Don¡¯t think we¡¯ve forgotten. And every time she did well, you deliberately spread bad things about her. Who else could have done this other than you?¡± Only at this moment did Lin Qiao truly understand what it meant to be ¡°kicked while you¡¯re down¡±!
She said angrily, ¡°Just moments ago, it was you two who said that the Dean had called Su Wanwan for a rendezvous, and you urged me to gather everyone to catch them in the act. Now you¡¯re pretending to be the good guys?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes swiveled, and a chilling light shed in them. The girl¡¯s face changed instantly out of fear, ¡°That¡¯s because we were misled by your posts! Now that we know Su Wanwan is Mr. Huo¡¯s wife and knowing how outstanding Mr. Huo is, Su Wanwan could never possibly engage in an illegitimate rtionship with other men!¡±
¡°Exactly!¡± The other girl hurriedly added, ¡°It¡¯s clearly you spreading malicious nder; your intentions are abominable! You¡¯re simply jealous of Su Wanwan!¡± ¡°Do you have any proof?¡± Lin Qiao gritted her teeth, ¡°Without any evidence, you¡¯re just ndering me! How is what you¡¯re doing now any different from the person who posted those messages?¡±
Anyhow, the forum posts had already been deleted and it was impossible to check them now.
As long as she kept denying it vehemently, they couldn¡¯t pin any me on her.
¡°You¡¡± The disciplinarian was so frustrated.
If only he hadn¡¯t been so quick to delete the post; now there¡¯s no evidence left. But there was no other choice. If the post hadn¡¯t been deleted quickly, Mrs. Huo might have been the target of more campus bullying.
Catching a glimpse of Huo Jingshen¡¯s cold, displeased gaze, the disciplinarian s legs began to shake.
Being a human is hard!
So what should we do now?
A tense standstill fell over the office.
Until, fast-paced footsteps echoed from the corridor.
Everyone rushed to look.
¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
Su Wanwan was surprised, why had Ji Jie arrived too?
Behind him was the Huo Family¡¯s driver, Old Lian.
And behind them, a blonde girl with swollen, tear-streaked eyes entered, apanied by two uniformed policemen.
Everyone¡¯s expressions instantly changed, and Lin Qiao was so scared her legs gave out.
At Huo Jingshen¡¯s cue, Ji Jie began to speak, ¡°My name is Ji Jie, I am Mr. Huo¡¯s assistant. I had previously visited the school once to help move Mrs. Huo¡¯s dormitory. I didn¡¯t expect that someone would deliberately take pictures.¡± After speaking, he introduced Old Lian, ¡°This is the Huo family¡¯s driver, Old
Lian.¡±
Old Lian, who was named, quickly exined, ¡°I came that day to take the youngdy shopping. Mrs. Huo and the seconddy were both seated in the back. I only got out to open the car door for the youngdy. You mustn¡¯t misunderstand.¡±
Ji Jie continued, ¡°These two are the officers in charge of this case.
One of the older policemen spoke, ¡°My name is Officer Wu. After receiving Mr. Ji¡¯s report, we conducted an immediate investigation and found that the person who posted the messages was this student, Week Xiaohan, a second-year student in your school¡¯s Chinese Literature department.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaohan burst into tears, ¡°All the old pictures of Su Wanwan were provided by Lin Qiao, so was the ount I used to post. All the previous posts were made by her, I only made thest one. I was wrong, I won¡¯t dare to do it again, teacher, can you stop the police from arresting me? I was wrong, teacher, I was wrong, woo-hoo¡¡±
She was only neen after all, seeing the police made her panic and she confessed to everything, simply hoping to admit her mistakes in order to reduce her punishment.
¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Lin Qiao shouted in desperation, ¡°Don¡¯t try to frame me, it wasn¡¯t me! I don¡¯t even know you!
¡°Lin Qiao just admit it. I¡¯ve got our WeChat conversation history here, the police have already seen it.¡±
Lin Qiao blurted out, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to delete everything?¡±
¡°I did delete it, but¡ the police recovered it.¡± After speaking, Zhou Xiaohan started begging again, ¡°Teacher, I was wrong, I initially disliked Su Wanwan and wanted to nder her and make everyone else hate her, I didn¡¯t think things would get this serious¡¡±.
¡°What utter foolishness!¡± The disciplinarian snorted, ¡°Lin Qiao, what else do you have to say for yourself!¡±
But what could Lin Qiao say now?
Su Wanwan suddenly stepped forward, ¡°Zhou Xiaohan, why would you nder me for no reason?¡±
Zhou Xiaohan burst into tears, ¡°That day in the cafeteria, you made me apologize in front of everyone. It was so humiliating, I just¡¡±
Su Wanwan:
Now she finally remembered.
This Zhou Xiaohan was the girl who had hit Bai Ruwei in the small cafeteria that day. She had been crying so much today that Su Wanwan hadn¡¯t recognized her before.
¡°How did you meet Lin Qiao?¡± Su Wanwan asked again.
¡°We¡¯re from the same hometown and we¡¯re both members of the student council, she always took care of me. We got along well so she often badmouthed you in front of me. After I told her about the cafeteria incident, she suggested ndering you and asked me to endorse the posts. When things blew up, she gave me the ount.¡± After finishing the exnation, Zhou Xiaohan started crying again, begging with all her might, ¡°Su Wanwan, I was just confused for a moment, can you forgive me? I was misled by her, please ask the police not to arrest me, I promise I will never do it again.¡±
¡°Confused for a moment?¡± Su Wanwan sneered, ¡°If my husband hadn¡¯te to help and clear up everything, do you know how your ¡®moment of confusion would have made the whole school see me? Those dirty, humiliating words wouldn¡¯t have been about you, right? It feels good to post such nder and be a keyboard warrior, doesn¡¯t it? Hoping for a simple apology when things go wrong, is there such a forgiving thing in this world? And, you!¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s gaze hardened as she turned to Lin Qiao, ¡°What did I ever do to offend you? From the first day of school, you have been targeting me endlessly.. I didn¡¯t squabble with you out of maturity, but you took it as encouragement? You made troubles for me every day, ndering and scorning me behind my back wasn¡¯t enough, now you¡¯re posting about me as well? Did I desecrate your family¡¯s grave or something?¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Su Wanwan turned abruptly towards Lin Qiao, ¡°What exactly have I done to you? From the first day of school, you¡¯ve been targeting me non-stop. I chose to be the bigger person and not argue with you, and yet you keep making my life miserable. Behind my back you smear my name and isn¡¯t that enough? Now you¡¯re even posting about me online! Have I desecrated your family¡¯s graves or something?¡±
Her relentless barrage of questions left Lin Qiao both enraged and flustered, making her finally blurt out, ¡°Are you suggesting I¡¯ve wronged you somehow? Can you deny that you¡¯ve ever messed around with men? Are those photos of you partying also fake? Now that you¡¯ve married into a wealthy family, you want to whitewash your past? Can you deny you only had eyes for the Huo Family¡¯s wealth? Moreover, the time you won first ce at the evening g was because Mr. Huo and the director gave you perfect scores! Can you deny you obtained those through backdoor channels? And now you¡¯re ying the innocent here? Isn¡¯t it merely because you have the Huo Family supporting you¡ Ah!¡±
Su Wanwan pped her sharply across the face.
Everyone present jumped, startled. Ji Jie¡¯s eyes bulged wide, and Officer Lao Liang¡¯s heart lurched. As for the reporters, they frantically snapped pictures. Wow, is Mrs. Huo fierce!
Huo Jingshen himself raised an eyebrow slightly at her disy.
Clutching her face, Lin Qiao felt a mix of pain, anger, and humiliation. Before she could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly startedughing.
Herughter was brilliantly dazzling.
As seen in Lin Qiao¡¯s eyes, it was a mix of smugness and cruelty.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°I won¡¯t deny my past, but now, yes, I do have someone to lean on! And what about you? All you can do is nder me behind my back and secretly envy me. Your mind is dirty, so everything you see is dirty. You, a devious scoundrel, are nothing but a lowly clown! I feel like I¡¯m wasting my breath even talking to you! Anyway, the evidence is clear. You can¡¯t ept it, can you? You hate me, don¡¯t you? Let¡¯s let the police teach you how to behave then!¡±
Officer Wu cleared his throat and stepped forward, ¡°Lin, you¡¯re suspected of deliberately fabricating and circting false information, defaming others, damaging their reputation, and the severity of your actions amount to cyber nder. Pleasee with us to the police station to assist with investigations.¡± Cyber nder?
What¡¯s that?
No! Terrified, Lin Qiao recoiled, ¡°I¡I¡I made a mistake, I really did.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve realized your mistake now?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s expression was icy, her words crisp, ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡±
¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go to the police station.¡± Lin Qiao¡¯s panicked gaze flickered over each face before finallynding on Jian Shuhao. She rushed over to him seeking help, ¡°Shuhao, Shuhao, please speak up for me. I didn¡¯t mean to, everything I did was because of you¡ Shuhao, will you plea for me?¡± Jian Shuhao¡¯s expression was nk, ¡°Lin Qiao, when you do wrong, you must face the consequences. I told you not to do this childish and lowly things yet you didn¡¯t listen.¡±
¡°Shuhao, how could you do this to me?¡± Lin Qiao screamed like someone who had lost her mind, her eyes brimming with resentment and envy, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because you were always flirting with Su Wanwan, would I have done this?¡± Jian Shuhao¡¯s face had a hint of embarrassment.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but flinch.
But no matter how hard you flirt, she¡¯s the wife of the Huo Family, she has a rich husband, did you really think she¡¯d care about you? She¡¯s only using you, you¡¯re nothing but her backup n, backup!¡±
The impatient policemen finally stepped in and escorted Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan away.
Lin Qiao¡¯s rants could still be heard till they were out of earshot, Jian Shuhao left the office, his face crimson with embarrassment.
Ji Jie coughed awkwardly a few times.
Su Wanwan was left speechless.
This Lin Qiao!
Even on her way down, she didn¡¯t miss a chance to smear the reputation of Su Wanwan.
**
With the issue behind them, the happiest people were undoubtedly the reporters who had hit the jackpot.
They thought they were here to cover a scandal about a university head viting rules, but they stumbled upon the heir of Nancheng¡¯s wealthiest family, the Huo family, instead!
When Mr. Huo, the reserved millionaire, got married, the media reported on it. But because Mr. Huo kept such a low profile that time, Mrs. Huo, shielded in his arms, never showed her face!
But things were different today, high-definition images of Mrs. Huo and Mr.
Huo canoodling in the office were captured clearly!
If these photos are circted, their click and forwarding rates would be astronomical!
Why would they be concerned about their job performance?
The jubnt crowd bid their goodbyes, and just as they were about to depart from campus, they were overtaken by Ji Jie, ¡°Gentlemen, I apologize, but Mr. Huo stated that he doesn¡¯t wish to see any reports about Mrs. Huo tomorrow.¡± ¡°Why is that?¡±
¡°I had a great camera angle!¡±
¡°We guarantee to present Mr. Huo at his best, ready for the limelight!¡±
¡°Mrs. Huo is naturally beautiful, why can¡¯t we expose this!¡±
¡°A talented man and beautiful woman, this is absolutely positive news that would help enhance Mr. Huo¡¯s public image!¡±
¡°Yes, exactly¡¡±
Ji Jie gave them a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but we invited you here today precisely to help clear Mrs. Huo¡¯s name.¡±
¡°Wait, you¡¯re the informant who leaked the news?¡± a reporter seemingly grasped something.
Ji Jie continued to smile, ¡°There¡¯s no other way around it; our Mr. Huo just keeps such a low profile.¡±
Reporters,
**
Meanwhile, once all the unrted spectators had departed.
After closing the door, Su Wanwan¡¯s first words were, ¡°It¡¯s over. The whole school will know I¡¯m a married woman now.¡±
¡°Why so?¡± Huo Jingshen peered at her, his expression disapproving, ¡°Still thinking about flirting with young boys?¡±
¡°What flirting?¡± Su Wanwan shot back, ¡°I have not!¡±
I didn¡¯t do anything okay!
¡°Was that Jiang Shuhao just now the ss monitor who gave you the dictionary?¡± Huo Jingshen continues with a narrowed gaze.
¡°Uh¡¡± I knew he was going to ask about this.
¡°What bad taste!¡± Huo Jingshen let out a disdainful sneer, ¡°A pretty boypared to your perfect husband? A backup? Does he even qualify?¡± Su Wanwan was taken aback, looking at his clearly sharp face, and suddenly wondered, ¡°Uh, you¡ are you jealous?¡±
Huo Jingshen spoke arrogantly, ¡°At his age, I had already taken mypany public, was making a fortune, and he¡¯s still using his old man¡¯s money to pick up girls¡¡±
Su Wanwan quickly interrupted him, ¡°But he¡¯s the school¡¯s heartthrob!¡±
¡°Heartthrob?¡± Huo Jingshen scoffed again, ¡°I think he¡¯s more of a weed.¡±
Su Wanwan:
She rolled her eyes.
Forget it.
She quickly changed the subject, ¡°By the way, when did you ask Ji Jie to investigate the posts and call the police? And those reporters, did you have Ji Jie arrange them beforehand? You even deliberately left me in the office with the door unlocked.¡±
He¡¯s just like a cunning fox!
Huo Jingshen pinched her soft cheek, ¡°Are you moved, baby?¡±
Su Wanwan:
I was, but¡
Can¡¯t he be a little less straightforward about it?
All the ambiance is gone now.
Huo Jingshen spoke softly, ¡°Your husband rushed back from London overnight for you and helped you solve everything. So, are you moved?¡±
Su Wanwan pursed her lips, then pursed them again, then suddenly looked up and gently brushed his cheek.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°Is that all?¡±
After saying that, he slightly pursed his thin lips as a suggestive gesture.
Su Wanwan¡¯s face felt a little hot, so she leaned in and briefly brushed her lips against his attractive thin ones.
Is this okay now?
Who would have thought¡
¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say to your husband?¡± Huo Jingshen stared at her, obviously unsatisfied.
¡°Isn¡¯t showing my feelings through actions enough?¡±
¡°Fine, but it¡¯s not enough.¡± Huo Jingshen shamelessly said, ¡°I want both actions and words.¡±
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°Aren¡¯t you too greedy?¡±
Being greedy for someone you like is only natural.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Is he trying to be romantic?
I feel a little fluttery inside.
He said the one he likes¡
¡°Say it.¡±
Su Wanwan reluctantly said, ¡°Thank you.¡±
¡°Thanking who?¡±
¡°Husband?¡±
¡°Husband?¡±
¡°Thank you, husband!¡± Su Wanwan finally said it in one go.
Huo Jingshen looked at her.
The young girl was so easily embarrassed. Blushing at the mention of ¡°husband¡±, her eyes were coy, and her mouth was slightly upturned because of herughter.
Suddenly, he leaned in, ¡°Okay, now that the words are out, you can show your feelings through actions.¡±
Su Wanwan:
He really is too greedy!
**
The next morning, the school issued punishment notices for both Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan.
Because Zhou Xiaohan showed a good attitude in admitting her mistake, the school issued a public criticism, added a major demerit to her record, and put her under observation.
As for Lin Qiao, not only was she the mastermind behind the whole incident, but her attitude was also extremely bad. She refused to admit her mistake and was expelled by the school.
In addition, because of her involvement in online defamation, she was temporarily detained..
Chapter 357: 357, is President Huo jealous?
Chapter 357: is President Huo jealous?
Trantor: 549690339 I
As for how many days Lin Qiao would be detained specifically, Su Wanwan wasn¡¯t interested anymore, neither did she want to get involved any further. She was not a saint.
Lin Qiao was the one who did wrong in this matter. Since he made a mistake, then it was only right for him to face up to it, there was nothing more to say.
However¡
¡°Wanwan!¡± As soon as she entered the ssroom, Zhao Qianqian grabbed her arm and shook it restlessly, ¡°I can¡¯t believe Mr. Huo is your husband! Oh my god, you are so good at concealing this! You even didn¡¯t tell me he is your husband!¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°And you tricked me saying he was your uncle! How outrageous!¡±
Su Wanwan cleared her throat twice, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who said he was my uncle? Did I agree?¡±
¡°I asked you if he was a rtive, and you admitted it yourself!¡±
¡°Well, a husband is kind of a rtive, isn¡¯t it?¡± Su Wanwan tilted her head, looking innocent.
¡°Damn, is there such a young and handsome uncle? Why didn¡¯t I see that clearly at that time? How could I have cooked up the notion that Mr. Huo was your uncle?¡±
¡°Well, he is old enough to be an uncle.¡± Su Wanwan replied.
After all, he was 10 years older than her!
Zhao Qianqian couldn¡¯t contain her gossip fiery curiosity, ¡°He is so much older than us, don¡¯t you have a generation gap with him? I felt his aura so powerful that I almost dared not to speak in the office yesterday. Tell me quickly, how do you get along with him daily? What do you guys usually talk about?¡±
How to get along?
Besides making love¡ what else could they do?
As for what to talk about?
Besides driving¡ what else could they talk about?
Su Wanwan declined to answer such a question, ¡°ss has begun.¡±
¡°Come on, share with me, what¡¯s it like having a husband who¡¯s handsome and rich? Huh? Tell me quickly¡¡±
¡°The teacher is here.¡±
¡°You actually want to board at school without having to go home with such a handsome husband every day. You¡¯re wasting resources!¡±
¡°ss has started, it¡¯s time to be quiet.¡± Li Mochou sternly admonished, which finally rendered Zhao Qianqian speechless.
At noon, Su Wenwen finally had lunch with Mo Weiyi, who hadn¡¯t been to school for several days.
Hearing about the events of the past few days, Mo Weiyi blinked her pretty cat-like eyes, ¡°You¡¯re saying that Mr. Huo came to school to rify the negative posts about you on the forum? And he brought along journalists and the police, setting up a trap, then, waiting for the prey to fall into it?¡±
Su Wenwen nodded nonchntly.
But she felt inwardly delighted.
She had to admit, as a husband, Huo Jingshen was indeed very manly, very macho, very responsible.
¡°Damn!¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s curse brought Su Wenwen back to reality.
¡°What happened?¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted and whined, ¡°Xiaobai hasn¡¯t picked me up from school for a long time!¡±
Su Wenwen retorted, ¡°That¡¯s because you haven¡¯t been to school for a long time. How could he pick you up? Does he pick up the air?¡±
Mo Weiyi thought about it, ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
Su Wenwen:
¡°No way.¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly picked up her phone, ¡°Today, I want Xiaobai to pick me up from school!¡±
Su Wenwen again:¡±¡¡±
What a petnt little princess she was!
The phone was soon connected, and a cold deep male voice came through, ¡°Weiyi.¡±
¡°Xiaobai.¡±
Hearing this sweet and spoiled voice, Su Wanwan on the side couldn¡¯t help but shiver.
But Mo Weiyi kept on cooing, ¡°Can youe to school to pick me up this afternoon?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiao Yebai asked.
¡°I just want you to pick me up! How long has it been since youst came to pick me up after school?¡±
¡°¡¡± There was silence on the line, then Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I¡¯m very busy today, and I have a social gathering tonight. I¡¯ll send a bodyguard to escort you home.¡±
Mo Weiyi grumbled, ¡°When are you not busy? I don¡¯t care, you¡¯re the one I want to pick me up. Can¡¯t you make it happen today?¡±
¡°The social event tonight is important.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll go with you to the social event.¡± Mo Weiyi said
¡°Weiyi, don¡¯t make trouble.¡±
¡°Then youe and pick me up.¡±
Xiao Yebai:
¡°Okay, that¡¯s settled. I¡¯ll have the bodyguard go home. I¡¯ll wait for you at the school gate at five o¡¯clock.¡± After she finished, Mo Weiyi immediately hung up the call.
Su Wanwan looked at her, ¡°Did he agree?¡±
¡°Xiaobai has a social event tonight. I¡¯m going with him.¡± After saying this, Mo Weiyi put her hands on her cheeks, ¡°I¡¯ve never attended a social event with Xiaobai before. I wonder whether it¡¯ll be fun.¡±
Except for that time in Haicheng, but that was only a few sips of red wine before it ended.
¡°A social gathering? Can you even handle it?¡± Su Wanwan started worrying about her friend. ¡°You can¡¯t drink, you can¡¯t talk, and you know nothing about business¡¡±
Mo Weiyi pulled a long face.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Then I¡¯ll just go to be a vase.¡± Mo Weiyi harrumphed with grace and elegance.
¡°Good luck.¡±
**
At five o¡¯clock in the evening, at the school gate, Su Wanwan took a taxi and left, while Mo Weiyi stood there waiting elegantly.
Not far away was a ck Mercedes, and a bodyguard in ck was standing by the car.
He was gruff and intimidatingly scanning the surroundings.
As it begin to get dark, Mo Weiyi looked at her watch, frowned, was about to look for her phone to make a call, when a ck Bentley slowly drove over and stopped in front of her.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes brightened and she went to open the car door excitedly.
The bodyguard also quickly got into the car.
¡°Xiaobai, you are half an hourte!¡± Mo Weiyi used.
Xiao Yebai was frowning, ¡°I¡¯ll take you home. I have to go to a clubter.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Mo Weiyi immediately said..

Only then did Xiao Yebai realize she was serious.
¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Mo Weiyi was very serious. ¡°I¡¯m already twenty, and like Dad says, I should grow up. Perhaps from now on, I will apany you to all your business dinners.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, an emotion quickly shing in his eyes.
¡°Really, I want to help you.¡±
Xiao Yebai diverted his gaze, and started the car.
¡°Xiaobai?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Then do you think I¡¯m dressed appropriately today? Should I change into something more mature?¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted, ¡°You didn¡¯t even look!¡±
Xiao Yebai kept his eyes forward, ¡°You are my wife. Whatever you wear is appropriate.¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but smile.
She loved it when Xiaobai made these romantically cold remarks!
But¡
She took out a small mirror and began carefully touch up her makeup.
**
At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, they arrived at a luxurious private club.
As Mo Weiyi got off the car with Xiao Yebai and entered the club¡¯s front gate, they immediately drew several nces from the waitstaff.
Xiao Yebai was a regr here.
As the young and sessful CEO of the Mo Family, he always came alone without even an assistant.
But today, he brought a young and beautiful girl.
Some of the waitstaff recognized Mo Weiyi, while some did not, and discussions about her sprang up in hushed tones.
Mo Weiyi had long been ustomed to this kind of attention. She did not feel awkward until she followed Xiao Yebai into a private room, and upon opening the door, the previously bustling atmosphere instantly fell silent.
The majority of the people present were CEOs in their forties or fifties, so most of them recognized Mo Weiyi.
Without exception, they each had a femalepanion, some of which were brought by them, while others were hostesses from the club.
At these business socials, people would drink, chat, and flirt. The deals would be sealed just like that, but¡
For the first time, someone was so unorthodox that he actually brought his wife!
A CEO who had his arm around his femalepanion inquired in jest, ¡°President Xiao, howe you¡¯re in the mood to bring Mrs. Fairy to socialize today?¡±
Mo Weiyi, twenty years old, slender and delicate with bright eyes and beautiful eyebrows, paired with her ethereal and elegant dress, was highlighted as an ethereal beauty in this haze-filled venue.
Xiao Yebai slightly curved his thin lips but did not reply.
The others were ustomed to his indifference, but it was Mo Weiyi who raised the corner of her lips and replied with a sweet smile, ¡°Thank you.¡±
She giggled.
It seemed that she had made Xiaobai proud today!
She was only twenty years old and was already being praised as a fairy, which made her very happy. Moreover, she realized it gave a boost to Xiaobai¡¯s prestige. Mo Weiyi¡¯s smile widened making her kitty eyes turning into crescents, she was unbearably smug.
Xiao Yebai gave her a quick look before shifting his gaze back.
A savvy waiter came and attended to them, ¡°What would Mrs. Xiao like to drink?¡±
Mo Weiyi began to respond, ¡°Red¡¡±
¡°Juice.¡± A deep and cold voice beside her cut her off.
¡°What vor would you like? We have orange, apple, pineapple, kiwi¡¡±
¡°Orange will do,¡± Mo Weiyi decided this time.
¡°Alright, please wait for a moment.¡±
When the waiter left, Mo Weiyi leaned close to Xiao Yebai and began bickering in a low voice, ¡°I can drink, why did you order juice for me?¡±
Xiao Yebai replied, ¡°We¡¯ll be discussing a caseter.¡±
And so?
Mo Weiyi thought for a moment.
We¡¯ll be discussing a caseter, Xiaobai will drink, and if she gets drunk, who will take care of her?
Okay then.
Mo Weiyi told herself to behave.
It was already a good start for Xiaobai to bring her to this business social. To often apany him in the future, she had to behave better.
After the juice was brought, more men sessively arrived at the private room.
Some were young; others were middle-aged. Without exception, they all had femalepanions with them.
Xiao Yebai did not deliberately introduce Mo Weiyi and soon started discussing business with the others.
Mo Weiyi sat there, at first being a very proper and elegantdy, gracefully sipping her juice.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became increasing foul.
There was a mix of smoke, alcohol, and various women¡¯s perfumes. The dim lighting was extravagant and licentious.
Mo Weiyi had had enough, ¡°Xiaobai, I need to go to the restroom.¡±
Xiao Yebai put down his ying cards, ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need, you carry on.¡±
Xiao Yebai was in the middle of a card game with three CEOs. To leave in the middle of the game wouldn¡¯t be appropriate.
Have the bodyguard apany you, Xiao Yebai then said.
Okay.
Mo Weiyi got up and walked out of the private room with her purse.
After the incident at the KTV, she didn¡¯t dare to wander around by herself. After calling her bodyguard, she obediently waited outside the door.
Suddenly, the private room¡¯s door opened again, and a young man in a pink suit walked out.
Mo Weiyi had a slight impression of him, he seemed to be thest one to arrive; the others had referred to him as ¡°Master Qi¡±..
Chapter 359: 359, Mrs. Xiao’s temper is not good
Chapter 359: Mrs. Xiao¡¯s temper is not good
Trantor: 549690339
Mo Weiyi had a slight impression of him, he seemed to be thest to arrive, and she heard others calling him Mr. Qi.
As it was her first time attending a social engagement, Mo Weiyi had made sure to memorize everyone¡¯s names. She smiled and nodded at him, ¡°Mr. Qi.¡±
Mr. Qi looked at her, suddenly smiling and leaning in close, the strong scent of alcohol permeating, ¡°Did youe with CEO Xiao today?¡±
Mo Weiyi nodded.
Mr. Qi¡¯s smile grew even more suggestive, ¡°How much?¡±
¡°What?¡± Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t understand at first.
¡°How much money do you get for spending a night with CEO Xiao?¡± Mr. Qi asked, already reaching out to touch Mo Weiyi¡¯s face.
Mo Weiyi quickly dodged, her pretty face icy, she said sternly, ¡°Mr. Qi, behave yourself!¡±
She reminded herself that she was at a social event with Xiaobai for business purposes, so she couldn¡¯t cause trouble for him.
To her surprise, Mr. Qi onlyughed more wildly, ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve got quite a temper? Who doesn¡¯t know what kind of womene to this ce? What are you pretending for? You seem so innocent and well-behaved on the surface, but I¡¯m sure you¡¯re a wild one underneath. Xiao never brings women to these events, you must satisfy him quite well for him to bring you along right?¡±
This was his first time going to a social event with his father, and he didn¡¯t know Xiao Yebai very well.
Furthermore, Mo Weiyi seldom attended these types of events with Xiao Yebai and he did not intentionally introduce her, so he assumed that Mo Weiyi was just another femalepanion.
Earlier in the room, Mo Weiyi was dressed in a light and elegant fashion, contrasting starkly with the heavily made-up women around her, looking ethereal and pure.
Now with no one around, he felt emboldened by alcohol and wanted to take advantage of her.
Under the dim light of the corridor, Mr. Qi squinted his eyes tinted by alcohol and found Mo Weiyi even more beautiful up close.
Her small face was as smooth as jade, wless as if she wore no makeup, with skin extraordinarily fine, with no visible pores.
Her features were even more exquisite and vibrant, especially the captivating cat eyes, clear as crystal, staring at him straight, as if hooking his heart.
With desire welling up, Mr. Qi once again leaned in, suggesting in a lewd tone, ¡°How about 1 million? Sleep with me for a night, if you satisfy me, I will keep you, let you be well-fed and dressed, every day¡¡±
¡°p¡± a resounding p smacked across his face.
¡°Mr. Qi, you¡¯re drunk.¡±
¡°You dare to hit me?¡± Mr. Qi, feeling his face, was furious.
Just then the bodyguard came over and, seeing the situation, rushed over, ¡°Princess.¡±
¡°Princess?¡± Mr. Qiughed coldly, ¡°So, you are a princess of this establishment? No wonder you are so arrogant. Is 1 million not enough? How about 2 million?¡±
Mo Weiyi directed her order at the bodyguard, ¡°Mr. Qi is drunk, help him sober up.¡±
The bodyguard nodded, and as Mr. Qi stretched out his hand again, a fistnded squarely on him.
The force was so great that Mr. Qi toppled backwards, colliding with a waiter serving wine.
sses and bottles instantly shattered on the floor, causing amotion with women screaming and ducking for cover.
¡°Damn it!¡± Mr. Qi touched his nose, only to find it bleeding. He sobered up instantly, cursing, ¡°You bitch, you dare to have people hit me?¡±
¡°Such a foul mouth? Looks like you¡¯re still not sober yet.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s charming face was now cold and aloof, devoid of the previous sweetness and innocence.
¡°Go on.¡±
Upon Mo Weiyi¡¯s order, the bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed Mr. Qi by the cor, andnded another hard fist on his face.
¡°Damn you¡¡±
Before he could finish cursing, another punchnded.
One punch after the other.
Each one eliciting a scream from Mr. Qi.
At first, he was cursing and resisting.
But eventually, he could only cry out in pain, unable to utter any more vulgarities.
Thanks to the good soundproofing, themotion outside the private room was not heard, and the extravagant scene inside continued uninhibited.
Not until the door was suddenly pushed open and a waiter cried out in panic, ¡°CEO Xiao, there¡¯s trouble!¡±
Xiao Yebai put down the cards in his hand, his tall figure quickly slipping out of the room.
The others also hurriedly stood up and followed.
Once they were in the corridor and saw Mr. Qi, bloodied and bruised, one of the older executives rushed over, ¡°Stop! Everyone, stop!¡±
Without Mo Weiyi¡¯s order, the bodyguard wouldn¡¯t listen, and another punchnded on Mr. Qi, causing him to scream.
¡°Dad! Save me!¡± Mr. Qi implored desperately, ¡°Come save me! Ah ¡ Dad¡¡±
¡°Stop, if anything happens to my son, I¡¯ll have your life!¡±
Upon hearing Mr. Qi¡¯s words, Xiao Yebai finally spoke up, ¡°Stop hitting him.¡±
The bodyguard ceased his movement and stepped to one side.
Mr. Qi¡¯s father hurriedly helped up his son.
Seeing the pitiful state of Mr. Qi¡¯s face, he quickly turned to Xiao Yebai, ¡°Mr. Xiao, I have no idea how my son offended your wife, to warrant such a hard hand!¡±
Mo Weiyi sneered, ¡°For that, you should ask your precious son.¡±
¡°What did you do?¡±
There¡¯s no way Mr. Qi would admit it, he whimpered and flinched in pain.
So Mo Weiyi stated, ¡°Since your son dares not admit, I¡¯ll say it. He not only insulted me with his words but also tried to touch me. That¡¯s why I asked the bodyguard to teach him a little lesson.¡±
¡°Dad, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense!¡± Mr. Qi cried out in desperation, ¡°It was her, she purposely tried to seduce me, even removing her clothes in front of me, all I did was¡¡±
¡°Scoundrel!¡± Mr. Qi¡¯s father cut him off immediately, ¡°Shut your mouth!¡±
What an idiot!
Anyone could tell, there is no way the young Miss Mo would try to seduce you!
Are you on par with Pan An?
Or is Xiao Yebai not handsome enough?
Who would have known, Mr. Qi shouted again, ¡°Xiao Yebai is nothing more than a bastard nurtured by the Mo family, dad why are you so afraid of him?¡±
Mr. Qi¡¯s father¡¯s face changed dramatically, ¡°You are such a¡¡±
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the sound of a crisp p.
Mo Weiyi rushed over and under the stare of many eyes, she pped Mr. Qi across his face.
Before the father and son could react, another pnded.
Then, Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, condemning him word for word, ¡°Do you even know how despicable you are? What right do you have to speak ill of my husband? My husband is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you! Do you, a privileged young master, even know what ¡®excellent¡¯ means? You¡¯re nothing more than trash, garbage, a degenerate!¡±
¡°Mrs. Xiao.¡± Mr. Qi¡¯s father¡¯s face was full of displeasure.
Regardless of how much of a troublemaker his son was, as his father, he could punish and scold him. But to be reprimanded by a twenty-year-old girl in front of so many people, how could he swallow this public humiliation?
Mo Weiyi kept on scolding, ¡°Spewing shit out of your mouth, showing absolutely no upbringing! Hasn¡¯t your father ever taught you to think before you speak? Or perhaps with your brain-dead state, all you can do is abuse your dad¡¯s filthy money to eat, drink, carouse, and gamble here!¡±
Mr. Qi¡¯s face twisted with fury, he could no longer bear it and raised his hand, intending to strike her.
However, his hand was caught mid-air by someone else.
Xiao Yebai stood there, merely with one hand holding onto the man¡¯s wrist. His handsome and indifferent face bore no expression whatsoever.
Behind his sses, a dark and ominous glint shed through his deep eyes.
He then spoke calmly, ¡°Mr. Qi, you¡¯re a senior. Is it necessary to be petty with a twenty-year-old girl?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Mr. Qi was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t speak.
Xiao Yebai stood there motionless. Although he seemed to exert no effort, he was causing so much pain that Mr. Qi was drenched in cold sweat, his face turned from white to red, then to green, and slowly to purple¡
His shirt around the neck area was quickly soaked with sweat.
Everyone around them fell silent.
The waiters had already called the manager and the security guard, but considering the people present, none dared to act rashly.
All of them were prominent figures in Nancheng and nobody dared to offend them.
After what felt like an eternity, Xiao Yebai finally released his hand.
Mr. Qi almost fell onto the ground as he staggered backwards.
He then heard Xiao Yebai speak again, ¡°I apologize, my wife has a bit of a temper. If she offended you in anyway, please be magnanimous, Mr. Qi.¡±
¡°Xiaobai¡¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice choked and her eyes filled with tears. She felt both aggrieved and concerned.
Did he not realize that she was defending him?
He even said that she had a bad temper.
And asked Mr. Qi to be tolerant?
Mr. Qi clenched his teeth and said grinningly, ¡°In that case, there¡¯s no need to carry on discussing the development project in the west city!¡±
After he finished speaking, he left the ce, dragging his son along in a humiliating manner.
With the excitement over, the manager came to disperse the crowd, and the spectators also gradually left.
Quietness was slowly restored in the corridor.
Xiao Yebai stood there. His straight lips rxed and his expression resumed its usual calm demeanor.
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Only then did Mo Weiyi start showing her concern.
What was the development project that Mr. Qi mentioned when he was leaving?
She asked cautiously, ¡°Did I¡ affect the business?¡±
Xiao Yebai remained silent.
¡°I didn¡¯t mean to.¡±
Mo Weiyi lowered her head, feeling both anger and grievance. She sniffled and said aggrievedly, ¡°He was so rude when he first approached me, I couldn¡¯t stand it and ended up pping him. Then he said more offensive things, so I had my bodyguards beat him up. Besides, he also insulted you¡¡±
As she raised her hand to rub her nose, it was suddenly caught by another hand.
Looking up, she saw Xiao Yebai holding her right hand, his gaze fixed on it.
¡°How many times did you p him?¡± he asked.
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, ¡°What?¡±
¡°How many times have you pped him?¡±
¡°Two¡oh, no, three.¡±
It seemed like three ps, right?
She couldn¡¯t remember clearly as she was too furious then.
¡°Dirty.¡±
¡°What?¡± Mo Weiyi was still puzzled.
¡°After pping another man¡¯s face, your hand is dirty,¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was indifferent.
Mo Weiyi immediately replied, ¡°I will wash itter.¡±
But Xiao Yebai took out a checker patterned handkerchief from his pocket and thoroughly wiped her hand.
His movements were graceful, sincere, and meticulous, treating her hand like a precious piece of artwork.
Mo Weiyi looked up at him.
His neatly groomed eyebrows and handsome features were visible through his t sses, including every single one of his long curled eyshes.
His skin was fair, fingers slender, and his overall demeanor was refined and elegant.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but get upset again.
Why do people always have to speak ill of such a wonderful person like Xiaobai?
Even when she was present today, they could still say such things about him, calling him a bastard.
If she hadn¡¯t been here today, would the names have been even worse?
The thought of Xiao Yebai being slurred with such wretched and offensive words made Mo Weiyi feel as though her heart was being sliced open with a knife.
Without hesitation, she rose to her toes and kissed him on his lips.
The soft lip touch, carrying a trace of coolness and affection, caused Xiao Yebai to pause his movements.
He looked down at her.
The young and pretty girl puckered up her red lips; her charming face was filled with the purest admiration, ¡°Xiaobai, don¡¯t listen to those scumbags, in my heart, you have and always will be the best man!¡±
A fleeting glint of emotion shed in Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes.
Then, he drew his thin lips into a faint smile. ¡°Hmm,¡± he responded with a nonchnt smirk.
¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± Mo Weiyi looked at him earnestly, ¡°And I will protect you. If Mr. Qies to trouble you again, I¡¯ll personally speak to my father about it.¡±
¡°About what?¡± Xiao Yebai pocketed his handkerchief, his tone somewhat casual.
¡°About him trying to take advantage of me. The bodyguard can testify, or else,¡± Mo Weiyi looked around and continued, ¡°There are also surveince cameras here which can prove it.¡±
Xiao Yebai held her hand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
Considering themotion and the fact that Mr. Qi had left, the business deal was naturally off the table, leaving no option but to go home.

As soon as he returned to the vi at Lishui Bay, Mo Yaoxiong called.
Xiao Yebai picked up the cell phone, just took a look, and it was immediately snatched by Mo Weiyi.
¡°Dad!¡±
The line went still at the other end.
Then, Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s voice came on, ¡°Let Yebai answer the call.¡±
But Mo Weiyi already started talking hurriedly, ¡°If you¡¯re asking about what happened at the club tonight, I¡¯ll tell you, Xiaobai had nothing to do with it. It was that bastard surnamed Qi who tried to molest me. I just had my bodyguard beat him up¡¡±
¡°Who is this Qi?¡± Mo Yaoxiong interrupted her.
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, ¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Weiyi!¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s voice immediately turned serious, ¡°Did you cause trouble again?¡±
Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue.
She thought Mo Yaoxiong was asking about this incident, only to find out that he waspletely unaware. Had she just incriminated herself?
She quickly handed the phone to Xiao Yebai and ran into the bathroom.
Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, and could still hear Mo Yaoxiong scolding, ¡°All day long, if you¡¯re not causing trouble, you¡¯re interfering with Yebai¡¯s work. When will you ever grow up? Weiyi? Are you listening to me¡¡±
¡°Dad.¡± Xiao Yebai spoke up.
Mo Yaoxiong immediately asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to discuss a coboration on the construction project in the west city with Mr. Qi tonight? What happened?¡±
Xiao Yebai replied calmly, ¡°Nothing much, just a minor ident.¡±
¡°Weiyi went with you?¡± Mo Yaoxiong grumbled, ¡°It¡¯s not decent at all. Why did you take her there?¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t respond.
¡°Next time, don¡¯t take Weiyi to such asions!¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
¡°How bad is the injury?¡± Mo Yaoxiong asked again.
¡°Nothing serious.¡±
¡°What nonsense! I don¡¯t need to remind you of the importance of this project, do I?¡± Mo Yaoxiong lectured, ¡°In the business world, we¡¯d rather have one more friend than one more enemy. Take care of it how you see fit, but we must secure this project.¡±
¡°I know.¡±
Only when the voices outside subsided did Mo Weiyi cautiously peek her head out from behind the door. ¡°Xiaobai, what did dad say?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
Mo Weiyi, relieved, walked over, hugged him and hid her face in his arms, confessing, ¡°I was wrong. I won¡¯t attend any more social events with you.¡±
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, just about to speak¡.
¡°Who knew I was this good-looking? A femme fatale, no matter where I go, men try to harass me. I think I¡¯d better stay home.¡±
Xiao Yebai,¡±¡¡±
**
Just when she thought it was over, the next morning, when Xiao Yebai left for work and Mo Weiyi was still in bed, she received a call from Mo Yaoxiong.
¡°Weiyi,e to Nangong Hospital right now.¡±
¡°What happened? Dad, are you sick?¡± Mo Weiyi promptly got up.
¡°Room 2203.¡± Mo Yaoxiong said and then hung up.
Mo Weiyi frowned.
Checking the time, it was only nine in the morning.
She was supposed to have an elective ss at ten-thirty. It looked like she had to miss it again.
Sighing, she thought, there¡¯s always something preventing her from studying hard, it was exasperating.
Mo Weiyi got out of bed, washed up, and put on a dark green long skirt paired with a beige knitted sweater and a ck overcoat. She quickly went downstairs and asked the bodyguards to drive her.
She did her makeup in the car, and by the time she was done, they had arrived at Nangong Hospital.
It was early winter, and a dusty cold wind was howling.
Mo Weiyi lowered her head and hurriedly ran into the hospital building.
Arriving at Room 2203, she knocked and went in only to find¡
¡°Weiyi.¡± Over by the hospital bed, Mo Yaoxiong frowned, ¡°Come and apologize to Mr. Qi.¡±
Mo Weiyi was stunned.
She looked at the man lying on the bed.
Was this the jerk fromst night?
He was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown,ying there, his entire head wrapped in gauze, only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible.
He had his eyes open, but there was no reaction as they spoke.
¡°Weiyi!¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s tone was stern.
¡°No need.¡± The speaker was CEO Qi, who stood up from the couch with a heavy tone and grim expression. ¡°Ms. Mo is of a noble background. We don¡¯t need, nor can we take your apology. Chairman Mo of Mo Family, please leave.¡±
¡°Brother Qi, I¡¯m sorry. My daughter has been spoiled since she was young, and her bad temper keeps growing. It truly is her fault that young master Qi is injured like this¡¡±
¡°Dad!¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help interrupting him. ¡°Why are you apologizing for me? Why don¡¯t you ask why he got beaten up?¡±
¡°How dare you keep stating that!¡± Mo Yaoxiong stopped her. ¡°Do you know how seriously Qi¡¯s son is injured?¡±
Mo Weiyi widened her cat-like eyes. ¡°How is that possible?¡±
The bodyguard only punched him a few timesst night, didn¡¯t he?
At most, there would be some minor physical injuries. How could it be so serious?
¡°This is the doctor¡¯s injury assessment report!¡± CEO Qi angrily tossed a report on the table. ¡°My son has been diagnosed with a level three concussion and now he can¡¯t even recognize me! The doctors say he may permanently lose his memory and be useless! Chairman Mo, as I said before, don¡¯t apologize. We¡¯ll meet directly in court!¡±
Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded.
She immediately tried to exin, ¡°Dad, you can ask the people at the clubst night. Oh right, and there is also the surveince footage. All this can be used as evidence for us.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡± CEO Qi sneered. ¡°Then we¡¯ll wait for you to bring forth the evidence to court. For now, you can leave!¡±
**
As they left the ward, Mo Weiyi immediately said, ¡°This Qi is trying to scam us. Dad, don¡¯t fall for his trick.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong was very angry, ¡°Do you think that¡¯s his only motive?¡±
¡°What else do they want to do?¡± Mo Weiyi thought for a while. ¡°Don¡¯t they want to cooperate with us?¡±
Mo Yaoxiong was silent.
He felt a headache.
Workers from Li Family protested outside of Mo¡¯s house every day. Now, Qi family was causing trouble as well.
The matters on the business field were often tooplex to exin.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn¡¯t want to burn all bridges.
Originally, he wanted Mo Weiyi to apologize politely, so they could discuss the matter. But it ended up even worse than expected.
¡°Dad, let¡¯s go to the club right now and find the surveince video fromst night.¡±
But Mo Yaoxiong remained silent.
¡°Dad¡¡±
¡°Do you think I haven¡¯t checked?¡± Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke. ¡°The surveince footage from the club was deletedst night. Upon questioning, the only thing people admit is that your bodyguard assaulted someone. Everything else was unclear. I also consulted the doctor, who insisted on the concussion diagnosis. They have prepared thoroughly so that there will be no evidence against them. After all, you¡¯repletely fine now, but his son is covered in wounds.¡±
¡°So, what can we do about it?¡± Mo Weiyi was frowning.
¡°You go back to the old house first.¡± Mo Yaoxiong looked worried. ¡°Today is your grandmother¡¯s death anniversary. I haven¡¯t been able to sleep well sincest night. Go back and keep himpany.¡±
¡°I got it.¡± Mo Weiyi could only leave for now.
On the way to the old house of Mo family, Mo Weiyi was still thinking about the incident in the ward. She felt uneasy, so she drew out her phone to call Xiao Yebai.
But just as the call connected, the car abruptly stopped.
It was as if someone had mmed the brakes.
The phone was thrown in the car. Mo Weiyi lifted her head, only to see arge patch of blood on the car window in front of her.
Mo Weiyi screamed in fear, ¡°Ah¡Ah¡Ah¡Ah¡Ah!¡±
The bodyguard quickly said, ¡°Princess, please don¡¯t get out of the car. Let me check what happened.¡±
¡°¡ Okay,¡± Mo Weiyi was too shocked to react and nodded automatically.
As she watched the blood dripping down from the car window, her face gradually turned pale.
The biggest reason she never wanted to learn to drive was her phobia. She was terribly afraid of blood, which would confuse her whenever she saw it.
All she could do was lower her head and listen as her bodyguard opened the car door and stepped out. Soon, a woman¡¯s voice echoed, ¡°Someone has been hit and killed! Quick, call the police!¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s face turned even paler.
The car door was closed again, blocking out all the noise from outside.
Mo Weiyi curled up in the backseat, her body slightly trembling. It wasn¡¯t until the ringtone started ying in the car, that she snapped back.
It was the special ringtone she set for Xiao Yebai.
¡°Little white rabbit, white and bright, both ears stand up straight¡¡±
She bent down and picked up the phone from under the seat with difficulty.
As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Yebai¡¯s calm voice came through, ¡°Weiyi, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
She had screamed right after the call was connected earlier, then went silent. So Xiao Yebai had to call her back.
¡°Xiaobai,¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice trembled, ¡°I¡¯m at the gate of the old house. It seems¡it seems that someone has been hit and killed. What should I do, Xiaobai? I¡¯m scared.¡±
She didn¡¯t actually see what happened exactly. But seeing so much blood on the car window and hearing people yelling, she instinctively thought something terrible had happened..
Chapter 361: 361, Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift
Chapter 361: Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift
Trantor: 549690339
She hadn¡¯t even seen what exactly was going on, but with so much blood on the car window and cries of panic from the crowd, she assumed something terrible had happened.
¡°Don¡¯t be scared, you were just a passenger. Even if something has gone wrong, you won¡¯t be in trouble.¡± Xiao Yebaiforted her, ¡°I am on my way, don¡¯t get out of the car. Lock the doors immediately. I¡¯ll call Butler Shi to bring some people over to handle things.¡±
¡°Ok.¡± Mo Weiyi felt slightly reassured by Xiao Yebai¡¯s words.
After hanging up the phone, she promptly locked the car doors, sitting and waiting in the car obediently.
**
Outside of the car.
Zhou Yn, clinging to the bodyguard¡¯s leg, sobbed dramatically, ¡°A hit and run! Murder! Somebody call the police fast, get the cops here to arrest the killer!¡±
Somebody nearby promptly dialed 110, then shouted, ¡°The police are on their way! Everyone in the car, get out now!¡±
The bodyguard frowned tightly, ¡°I was driving the car. If there is any issue, I will take full responsibility.¡±
¡°Just because you say you were driving, does it mean you really were? Any evidence?¡± Zhou Yn yelled.
She had been causing a ruckus here for several days but to no avail.
Every time she tried to approach, she was thrown far away by the bodyguards, without even a glimpse of the Mo family¡¯s face.
Left with no choice, she had to resort to dirty tactics.
She had used the exact same trick when facing a house eviction, which resulted in her receiving an excessive evictionpensation.
Anyway, what the rich care about most is their reputation, afraid of scandals. If they don¡¯t agree to let Feifei go, she will make this incident public and big, even to the point that the Mo family would be unable to get away with it!
Thus, she began her dramatic wailing again, ¡°Oh my poor husband, you have lost so much blood! If you die, what will I do? Our daughter has already been ruined by the Mo family, and now you too are killed by the Mo family. How do you expect me to go on living?!¡±
The man lying on the ground with his face all covered in blood, eyes closed and moaning, seemed severely injured.
Trying to free himself, the bodyguard was surrounded by several tough-looking men with iron bars in their hands and tattoos on their exposed arms.
Caught up in their strong assault, the bodyguard was unable to break free.
Zhou Yn nced at the tightly shut car door, and suddenly got up and ran over.
As anticipated, through the car window, she saw Mo Weiyi sitting in the backseat.
She started yelling immediately, ¡°You be the judge! I just wanted to bring my husband to the Mo family for some exnation. But they tried to kill both of us with a car! This is obviously guilt! They¡¯re trying to silence us! Can the rich oppress people like this? And now aftermitting manughter, they want to evade responsibility by letting a bodyguard take the me!?¡±
Someone suggested immediately, ¡°Drag the people in the car out!¡±
¡°Drag them out!¡±
¡°An eye for an eye, it¡¯s only fair!¡±
Very soon some people charged towards the car and tried to open it, but found that it was locked from inside.
Zhou Yn yelled vehemently, ¡°Smash the car windows! Drag the people inside out!¡±
Somebody walked over with arge iron rod and hit it hard against the car window.
With a loud ¡°bang,¡± the window remained intact but the noise nearly scared Mo Weiyi out of her wits.
Why would scenes like those in movies happen to her?
And right at her own doorstep?
Why was she so unlucky recently?
She seemed to run into every trouble!
Mo Weiyi looked outside and noticed that the crowd was growingrger, each holding iron rods and smashing the car.
¡°Bang!¡±
Then another ¡°Bang!¡±
The car was shaking violently. The window got cracked and then finally the front window shattered.
Hearing the sound of the ss shattering, Mo Weiyi was terrified and picked up her phone to call for help.
Zhou Yn yelled excitedly, ¡°Quick, get her out!¡±
Some people rushed forward, reached in through the shattered window, smacked the phone out of her hand, and tried to pull at her arm.
Mo Weiyi was on the verge of a breakdown.
Who were all these people?
Why hadn¡¯t Butler Shi arrived yet?
She huddled back as far as she could, until a familiar voice shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±
Butler Shi appeared in a ck double-breasted butler outfit, followed by a group of bodyguards dressed in ck.
At his order, the bodyguards pressed forward and finally managed to pull back the unruly mob.
Zhou Yn was still shouting, ¡°You¡¯ve killed someone and you try to brush it aside? The police areing soon! You all will pay for it!¡±
Butler Shi looked at her sternly, ¡°He¡¯s hurt and still not taken to the hospital, while you are busy calling the police. Is this man really your husband?¡±
¡°¡¡± Zhou Yn¡¯s face went pale, and she hurriedly shouted, ¡°My husband was run over by you all. When the police arrive, I will make sure all of you go to prison!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Butler Shi stepped forward, then abruptly leaned over.
He wiped a finger across the man¡¯s bloody face, then brought it to his nose for a sniff.
Standing back up, he sneered, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the police then.¡±
**
About ten minutester, local police finally arrived.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s car pulled up close behind.
The tall and forbidding figure came straight to the ck Mercedes, opened the car door, and helped Mo Weiyi out.
¡°Mr. Xiao.¡±
Xiao Yebai lifted his eyes and nced casually at the man lying on the ground, ¡°Mr. Shi, I¡¯m going to take Weiyi home first, you handle this.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Mo Weiyi got into the Bentley with Xiao Yebai. Her fingers were still icy cold as she fastened the seatbelt.
Not until they drove into the Mo family¡¯s mansion did she timidly ask, ¡°Yebai, is everything really alright?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°But that man was bleeding a lot, the car is covered in blood¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s chicken blood.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Mo Weiyi was stunned, ¡°So¡ did theye intending to stage an ident?¡±
¡°You could say that.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
**
They entered the old manor.
The elder of the Mo family was sitting sternly on the Taishi Chair, obviously already aware of the incident at the front door.
¡°Why hasn¡¯t this matter been resolved yet?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was calm and cool, ¡°It can be resolved now.¡±
¡°What¡¯s your n to resolve it?¡±
Xiao Yebai nced at Mo Weiyi.
The old man of the Mo family immediately ordered, ¡°Weiyi, you go rest in your room first.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s mind was unsettled, so she nodded and left the hall immediately.
Once she returned to the Southern Mansion and had a few sips of tea, she slowly calmed down.
A quick sweep of her eyes was caught by an item on the dressing table.
She immediately got up and walked over.
It turned out to be a hairpin.
Neither too big nor too small, the design was very simple. The body of the pin was made of white jade, shining brightly, with a white magnolia flower adorned on the head, refreshing and elegant.
This was not her stuff.
¡°Mrs. Yang! Mrs. Yang, can youe here?¡±
Upon hearing her voice, the maid immediately rushed upstairs and entered the bedroom.
Mo Weiyi held up the hairpin and asked her, ¡°Where did thise from?¡±
The maid looked at it, ¡°I found it on the bed in this bedroom while tidying up a few days ago. I thought it was the princess¡¯s belonging, so I put it on the dressing table.¡±
¡°Do you think I would use something like this?¡± Mo Weiyi raised her delicate eyebrows.
The maid:¡±¡¡±
This hairpin at first nce didn¡¯t seem to be anything valuable.
Moreover, Mo Weiyi¡¯s hair was too thick. She never liked to tie her hair, let alone use a hairpin to bun her hair unless a stylist was helping her with it.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s distinct cat eyes stared at her, her delicate fingers gradually clenching, ¡°Has anyone visited this vi recently?¡±
The maid quickly answered, ¡°I¡¯m the only one here cleaning each day.¡±
¡°You¡¯re sure no one else has been here to clean up?¡±
¡°Absolutely not.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
¡°Princess.¡± The maid cautiously started, ¡°Could it be a gift from Young Master Xiao?¡±
Gift?
Mo Weiyi blinked her distinct cat eyes.
A gift from Yebai?
Yebai actually took the initiative to give her a gift?
After the two puppies fromst time, now he is gifting a hairpin?
¡°Princess¡¡±
¡°You can go now.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
After the maid left, Mo Weiyi sat there, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning upwards.
Even though she never uses hairpins, if it was gifted by Yebai¡
After a thought, Mo Weiyi picked up the hairpin and began to do her hair in front of the mirror.
**
So when Xiao Yebai returned to the upstairs bedroom, he saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table, her thick curls bundled into a bun.
Mo Weiyi rarely bundled her hair; she always felt that her hair was too thick and that styling it was troublesome. She usually liked to leave her hair flowing loose.
This hairstyle exposed her entire small, round face, making her look even more refreshing, cute, and girlish than her usual seductive and luxurious look.
¡°Yebai, does it look good?¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her face, showing him.
She had wanted to do a hair bun originally, but her hands were too clumsy. After struggling for a long time without sess, she wound up tying a bun and sticking the hairpin into it..
Chapter 362: 362, it’s just too fake
Chapter 362: it¡¯s just too fake
Trantor: 549690339 |
Initially, she wanted to style her hair into a bun, but her hands were simply too clumsy, failing even after much attempt. In the end, she could only tie it into a ponytail and insert a hairpin.
¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Yebai responded, ¡°I need to head back to the office first.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t even look!¡± Mo Weiyi pouted unhappily, ¡°Also, it¡¯s almost time for lunch, you can go after eating.¡±
¡°I have a luncheon meeting.¡±
Speaking of the luncheon, Mo Weiyi thought of the matter regarding the Qi Family.
¡°Xiaobai, did your father speak to you about the Qi family¡¯s matter?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°How are you handling it? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. After all, this matter came about because of me.¡±
Mo Weiyi was very self-aware; had she been more patient yesterday, they might not have ended up in such a big mess.
But if she truly had been patient then, then she wouldn¡¯t be Mo Weiyi anymore.
Xiao Yebai nced at her, a calm expression on his handsome face, ¡°No need, I¡¯ll handle it at the hospital in the afternoon.¡±
Hearing his tone, Mo Weiyi felt relieved.
From their first meeting until now, Xiaobai has been the man she trusted most.
No matter how serious the situation, as long as Xiaobai was there, he would always have a perfect solution in the end.
Mo Weiyi stood on tip-toes, a sweet smile spread across her face, ¡°Then, do you think¡¡±
She tilted her head, letting him once again notice the hairpin in her hair, ¡°Is it pretty?¡±
¡°Pretty.¡±
¡°What¡¯s pretty?¡± Mo Weiyi prompted.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, a slight smile yed on his lips, ¡°You are pretty.¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butugh, but softly pressed on, ¡°Beside me, what else?¡±
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow:¡±¡¡±
Mo Weiyi:
After a standoff, Mo Weiyi finally gave up, ¡°I was asking you, do I look good with this hairpin?¡±
He really didn¡¯t understand courtship!
Xiaobai was great in all aspects, except he was too dense when it came to matters between men and women!
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butment in her mind.
Meanwhile, as if just noticing the hairpin, Xiao Yebai reached out to touch it lightly with his slender, pale fingers.
Mo Weiyi leaned against his broad chest, drawing circles on his dark shirt, her voicezy and teasing, ¡°How did you think of giving me a hairpin?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was deep and indifferent, ¡°I gave this to you?¡±
¡°This hairpin, didn¡¯t you give it to me?¡± Mo Weiyi felt sweet inside, ¡°Seriously, why did you ce it in the old house? If I didn¡¯t find it, were you not nning to tell me?¡±
Xiao Yebai paused, then reached up to remove the hairpin.
Instantly, Mo Weiyi¡¯s thick curls fell loose, spreading over the two of them.
Xiao Yebai held the hairpin in his elegant fingers, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his sses.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Weiyi looked at him, puzzled.
¡°Nothing.¡± Xiao Yebai slipped the hairpin into his trouser pocket, speaking calmly, ¡°It¡¯s just that this hairpin was ced in the wrong ce.¡±
¡°Misced?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Xiao Yebai gave a wry smile, ¡°Are you going to school this afternoon?¡±
¡°I think I don¡¯t have any sses, why?¡±
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I have some matters to handle. When I¡¯m done, I¡¯lle and pick you up at home.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Mo Weiyi instantly agreed happily when Xiaobai took the initiative to pick her up.
As Xiao Yebai turned to leave, he looked back at her, ¡°Don¡¯t mention the hairpin to anyone for now.¡±
Mo Weiyi was confused, but still nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±
Xiaobai must be embarrassed!
Only after Xiao Yebai left did Mo Weiyi realize, why did he take the hairpin as well?
**
Xiao Yebai left the vi and headed to an office building just behind the courtyard.
He stayed there for about half an hour before driving away.
While on the road, he received a call from Mo Yaoxiong.
¡°Yebai, has the Qi family sent you a legal notice?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t arrived at the office yet.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong recounted the situation, then concluded, ¡°The Qi Family is in thend development business. If we want to work on the development project in the western city, we must cooperate with them. We¡¯ve already pretty much finalized the deal, we just need to sign the contract. But with this sudden incident, it seems they want to break the contract. Additionally, I¡¯ve heard that¡ Huangyou are also in contact with them regarding this matter.¡± ¡°I¡¯m aware.¡±
¡°Do you have any good solutions?¡± Mo Yaoxiong asked, ¡°Huangyou never dealt withnd development before but since Huo Yuan became the president, their coboration has enhanced and theirpetition with us has increasingly been on a simr level. Though the Chu Family has never been involved in the business sector, Chu Xiuhuang is an ambitious man and the Chu and Huo Families have always had a good private rtionship.¡±
Some things were best left unsaid.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s lips formed a thin smirk, ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital this afternoon.¡± **
After Xiao Yebai left, Mo Weiyi returned to the hall to talk to the old master, Mo.
When Mo Weiyi was still a baby, the olddy, Mo, passed away. Despite having no memories of her grandmother, she always noticed that there was no one by the old master¡¯s side, implying that the couple must¡¯ve had great affection for each other.
Today was his wife¡¯s death anniversary, and the old master was feeling low. After a brief chat, he said he wanted to rest and skipped lunch.
After her afternoon nap, Mo Weiyi got out of bed, intending to go to the vi at the back to check on Rong An¡¯s condition.
She¡¯s been in recuperation for over half a month now, and it¡¯s unclear how she¡¯s doing.
Just as she was passing the north vi, Qu Yunyao¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°Sister Yiyi.¡±
Mo Weiyi stood and looked at her.
Qu Yunyao came out of the vi, wearing a white dress that reached the floor, lending her an air of artistry. It was a summer outfit, unsuitable for this chilly weather but she had thick fur coat over it.
The mix was indeed bizarre!
The always fashion-conscious Mo Weiyi could hardly ept it.
Seeing Mo Weiyi¡¯s gaze fixed on her, the smirk in Qu Yunyao¡¯s eyes deepened and she proudly dered, ¡°This coat was given to me by my boyfriend.¡±
¡°I see,¡± Mo Weiyi replied, raising her graceful, red lips. ¡°It seems you two are in a good rtionship.¡±
Qu Yunyao blushed and giggled, ¡°The weather changing so unpredictably and I¡¯ve not been feeling well, he¡¯s worried about my health, and so¡¡±
Mo Weiyi interrupted, ¡°Excuse me, I need to go as there is something else.¡±
She was tired of dealing with this cousin.
Before, she had felt sorry for her being a poor, motherless girl. But after her melodramatic charadest time, and the feigned innocence and regret afterwards, she found her too fake.
¡°Wait, Sister Yiyi, wait.¡± Qu Yunyao hastily caught up to her, reaching out to grasp her clothes.
¡°What now?¡± Mo Weiyi was clearly exasperated.
Qu Yunyao looked at her, puzzled.
When she went to give away the paintingst time, she had left a hairpin on their bed. Just now, she saw both Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai entering the room; they ought to have noticed the hairpin by now, right?
Why was there still no reaction?
The Magnolia hairpin wasn¡¯t expensive and on one nce, it didn¡¯t match Mo Weiyi¡¯s luxurious style at all.
Didn¡¯t she suspect anything?
¡°Yunyao?¡± Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, ¡°Any other matters?¡±
Qu Yunyao had no choice but to say, ¡°The weather¡¯s been getting colder, Sister Yiyi, take care of your health and don¡¯t fall ill likest time.¡±
Mo Weiyi gave her a helpless look,
Then, she turned around and left.
Watching Mo Weiyi¡¯s aristocratic departure, Qu Yunyao clenched her fists with a bitter smile in her eyes, increasing with eachyer.
Upon returning to her room, she received a call from Xu Rui, aggravating her mood.
¡°Yunyao, when are you going to tell Xiao Yebai that you¡¯re pregnant?¡±
¡°Why are you in such a hurry? I¡¯m not even stable yet¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s almost been two months.¡± Xu Rui interrupted her, ¡°The pictures and chat logs are all ready, and it¡¯s undeniable that he vited you. What are you afraid of?¡±
Qu Yunyao couldn¡¯t bring herself to respond.
She was afraid of Xiao Yebai denying it all as it¡¯s a fabricated usation.
That¡¯s why she could only take action against Mo Weiyi, wanting to instill doubts about Xiao Yebai in Mo Weiyi¡¯s mind, nt seeds of distrust, so when the incident takes ce, they can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Who knew that Mo Weiyi would be as dull as a cow!
She had given countless hints and suggestions, but Mo Weiyi still remained clueless.
Was it because she believed Xiao Yebai too much?
Believing that he wouldn¡¯t betray her?
Qu Yunyao felt desperate in her heart, but also felt a kind of inefficacy.
¡°Yunyao? Are you even listening to me?¡±
¡°I heard you.¡± Qu Yunyao thought for a moment, ¡°They seldom return to the old house to stay, so it¡¯s difficult to find an opportunity. I want Mo Weiyi to see me lying on Xiao Yebai¡¯s bed in person, the shock of which would leave them speechless!¡±
¡°Great, I¡¯ll send those pictures and chat logs to you, keep them safe.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
Soon, a message from Xu Rui arrived on WeChat..
Chapter 363: 363, The Wind-like Little Princess
Chapter 363: The Wind-like Little Princess
Trantor: 549690339
Soon, Xu Rui¡¯s WeChat message came in.
There were several pictures of Qu Yunyao taking selfies in the hotel room, with only one picture of her with a man, although only half of the man¡¯s face was shown, it was hard to tell who he was at first nce.
However,bined with the suggestive chat screenshots with ¡°Xiao Yebai¡± from WeChat and text messages, the evidence was quite convincing.
Qu Yunyao saved all the information and began to n carefully.
**
¡°RongAn!¡±
On this side, Mo Weiyi came to the backyard vi and entered after a knock on the door.
The in-room doctor was stunned.
It was Rong An who quickly pulled a nket over himself.
¡°Rong An!¡± Mo Weiyi walked in, her bright cat eyes blinked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you applying medicine? Why are you under a nket?¡±
The doctor looked at her speechlessly, ¡°Princess, this is a man¡¯s room.¡±
¡°So what if it¡¯s a man¡¯s room? I¡¯ve seen Rong An¡¯s body before.¡±
¡°What?¡± The doctor had a shocked look on his face.
Rong An coughed softly, ¡°Princess, I¡¯m not wearing trousers.¡±
Mo Weiyi still seemed unconcerned, ¡°So what, I¡¯ve seen men¡¯s butts before.¡±
Anyway, Xiaobai¡¯s is better-looking.
RongAn:¡±¡¡±
The doctor:¡±¡¡±
Mo Weiyi found a chair to sit down, propped her chin with both hands,ughing gleefully, ¡°You guys continue applying the medicine.¡±
The doctor said awkwardly, ¡°Princess, can you please step aside first?¡±
He¡¯s just sitting there watching Rong An apply medicine to his bare butt?
As the doctor applying medicine, he was having trouble epting it.
¡°¡Fine!¡± Mo Weiyi seemed helpless, and could only walk outside, ¡°But hurry up, I have something to say to Rong An.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After Mo Weiyi left, she closed the door behind her.
She stood in the corridor where it was quiet, but then heard a groan from Rong An from inside the room.
And then the gentle instruction from the doctor, ¡°This whip wound is not light, bear with it, we predict it will need another half a month to heal¡¡±
Then, another ¡°Hmm¡.¡±
Somehow, Mo Weiyi thought of those BLics she had read in the past, in which the seme was doing¡ something¡ to the uke.
Rong An seemed the uke, and the doctor was the seme.
Oh gosh, what a beautiful picture!
Mo Weiyi, trying to hold back herughter, dialed Su Wanwan¡¯s number on her phone.
Initially, she wanted to share these suggestive sounds with her best friend. However, Su Wanwan directly asked her, ¡°Why didn¡¯t youe to school again today?¡±
Mo Weiyi could only tell her about what had happened at the club yesterday. She ended upmenting, ¡°Wanwan, why am I so unlucky? It¡¯s even involving thepany now.¡±
¡°Do you need my help?¡±
¡°How can you help?¡±
¡°I know the deputy dean of Nangong Hospital. He helped solve the problem when Su Yanyan framed me with a fake pregnancy. This should be simr. Can¡¯t he just check on that doctor and clear up everything?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°Then you should apany me to the hospital this afternoon and get this resolved.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan agreed.
Mo Weiyi was very happy.
This incident was originally caused by her. If she could help resolve it in advance, that would be the best, and it would also save Xiaobai some worries.
So, after the doctor finished applying the medicine, Mo Weiyi went in and said, ¡°Rong An, you better recover well. I have to get going, I have something to do in the afternoon.¡±
After saying that, she turned around and left.
RongAn:
The doctor:¡±¡¡±
She came and went like the wind.
Such ady of the wind, the little Princess.
**
Hospital.
In the ward, Qi Yi threw his spoon onto the floor and spat out a few times, swearing, ¡°Damn it, this tastes awful! Dad, can¡¯t you buy me something edible?¡±
After being taken to the hospitalst night, he¡¯s had to suffer through these so-called nutritious hospital meals.
The rice porridge was so thin that it reflected his image; the pickles were wilted, and the steamed bun was dry and tasteless. How can a man ustomed to feasting bear such food?
Qi Linwang picked up the spoon, ¡°Behave yourself!¡±
¡°How much longer do I have to lie in a hospital! I can¡¯t go anywhere, can¡¯t eat anything, it¡¯s killing me!¡± Qi Yiined.
¡°It¡¯s all for your own good,¡± Qi Linwang said in frustration, ¡°Who did you have to provoke? Why did it have to be Mo Weiyi? Do you know what the Mo Family used to do?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not afraid no matter what they did!¡± The more Qi Yi thought about it, the angrier he became, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Xiao boy just the Mo family dog? If it weren¡¯t for him catching the eye of that bitch and bing the president of the Mo Family, what rights does he have? Just a pretty face living off a woman! What, getting arrogant now? And that bitch, she beat me up, even pped me in front of so many people! I won¡¯t be done with her unless she kneels down and apologises to me!¡± he swore.
¡°That¡¯s why you need to be patient now. I had thewyer¡¯s letter sent to Xiao Yebai at noon; he will definitelye see us this afternoon. Then, we can negotiate terms with him, we can ask the Mo family to do anything.¡± Qi Linwang schemed optimistically.
A sly smile formed on Qi Yi¡¯s face, ¡°When the timees, I won¡¯t let him live!¡±
¡°Knock, knock, knock.¡±
The door to the room was suddenly rapped upon.
Qi Yi¡¯s face changed drastically, he hurriedly wiped his mouth,id back in bed, and continued to feign paralysis.
Only after tidying up the room, did Qi Linwang walk over to open the door.
When he saw that the woman standing at the door was Mo Weiyi, Qi Linwang stiffened, ¡°Miss Mo, what are you doing here again?¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at him, sneered, and strided into the ward wearing high heels.
She stood by the bed, gazing at the faking Qi Yi, and said slowly, ¡°Who knew your son was this delicate? He got brain concussed from a few punches and even lost his memory. Did he be an idiot now?¡±
ying-dumb Qi Yi:¡±¡¡±
Damn it.
He was so angry!
But he could only roll his eyes, careful not to expose too much emotion.
With a calm face, Qi Linwang said, ¡°Miss Mo, I¡¯ve already sent a legal letter to your husband. Before the court hearing, 1 don¡¯t want to talk any nonsense with you! Also, do not be too much!¡±
Mo Weiyiughed coldly, not caring to mince words anymore, ¡°Wanwan, when will the vice dean arrive?¡±
Vice Dean?
Qi Linwang frowned.
Su Wanwan continued to hurry things along with her phone.
She had already made more than ten calls, why was Nangong Ci taking forever?
The ringing suddenly emanated from the hallway outside.
¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Nangong Ci¡¯s handsome face broke out in light sweat.
What the hell.
He wasn¡¯t on duty today and was enjoying a nap at home when he was woken up by his sister-inw¡¯s call.
There was no choice, when his sister-inw asked him to do something and if he didn¡¯t do it, his brother would kill him.
He couldn¡¯t get back to sleep now, so he came immediately to the hospital to handle the matter.
Fearing that his sister-inw would be bullied in front of the man, he had jogged all the way here.
Upon arrival in the ward, Nangong Ci coughed twice and returned to his usual urbane and graceful demeanor.
Before long, a secretary walked in with a doctor.
At the sight of the doctor, Qi Linwang¡¯s heart dropped.
On the bed, Qi Yi became restless but he still refrained from moving.
¡°Vice Dean.¡± Mo Weiyi walked over and gave him a charming smile, ¡°May I ask, is this Dr. Liu, Qi Yi¡¯s main doctor?¡±
Dr. Liu lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Nangong Ci squinted his eyes and gestured.
The secretary immediately handed over a document.
Nangong Ci took the document, opened it, and began to read aloud, ¡°Qi Yi, male, twenty-four years old. Head and facial injuries. Serious swelling of the forehead. Severe internal bleeding in the head. Diagnosis confirmed as a level three concussion. Ah, a level three concussion?¡±
Finished, he threw the document into Dr. Liu¡¯s face.
He was grumpy from being woken up and used this to vent. He put in too much force, and the sharp corner of the file scraped across Dr. Liu¡¯s face, leaving a bleeding cut.
Dr. Liu flinched in pain but didn¡¯t dare to retaliate.
¡°After the incident with Dr. Zhou, didn¡¯t I issue a notice? From then on, no doctor is allowed to falsify any more! But look at you!¡± Nangong Ci nodded and extended his hand again.
Thus, the secretary handed over another document.
Nangong Ci took it, didn¡¯t even look, and threw it straight at Dr. Liu¡¯s face again, ¡°Last night at eleven o¡¯clock, the few hundred thousand yuan transferred from your sry ount, who gave it to you, point him out to me!¡±
Qi Linwang:¡±¡¡±
Dr. Liu lifted his head, then raised his hand shakily to point at Qi Linwang.
¡°Pfft.¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butugh, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and triumphant, ¡°So, Mr. Qi, you bribed Dr. Liu with money and fabricated a fake injury report, intending to swindle the Mo family, right? You sure have grand ns! But too bad, man proposes, God disposes.. What else do you have to say now?¡±
Chapter 364: 364, everyone is a businessman
Chapter 364: everyone is a businessman
¡°Pfft.¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butugh, his delicate brows arching in a victorious grin, ¡°So, Qi, you bribed Dr. Liu and even faked an injury report in order to defame our Mo family? You¡¯re quite the dreamer. Unfortunately, your ns can¡¯t match the will of heaven. What else do you have to say?¡± Qi Linwang stayed silent, his face stern.
He knew such matters couldn¡¯t be hidden for long.
However, he had almost finalized the deal for that piece ofnd with the Mo Family, only awaiting final contract signing and the payment of the bnce.
If he revoked the agreement due tost night¡¯s club incident, as the purchaser, the Qi Family would have to pay a considerable amount in breach of contract penalties.
Just two days ago, Huangyou Investment approached them for a coboration on the same property, offering a price twice that of the Mo Family. That¡¯s why he resorted to this tactic.
He could exert pressure on the Mo Family with this, making them pay the price for their assault and humiliation of Qi Yi!
On the other hand, he could establish a partnership with Huangyou Investment to reap higher profits.
Totally killing two birds with one stone!
He also knew that the Mo Family¡¯s image had greatly improved over the past few years since the old man withdrew from the underworld.
Since Xiao Yebai took charge, he downsized staff, restructured internally, and the Mo Family now only conducted legitimate business, without partaking in the underworld dealings.
So, he decided to exploit this matter, leaving the Mo Family in a tough spot. But he never expected Mo Weiyi to directly expose him with the deputy head of the hospital.
Mo Weiyi then turned to a certain person on the hospital bed, pretending to be sick, ¡°Mister Qi, have you not feigned death long enough yet? Why, still unwilling to get up?¡±
Finally unable to take it, Qi Yi, like a mummy, sprung up.
This scared both Su Wanwan and Nangong Ci.
Then, they saw Qi Yi with his head all bandaged, cursing vociferously, ¡°Fucking bitch! So what if I have no concussion? The fact remains that you hurt mest night! Everyone in the club can testify for me! What, you still expect our Qi Family to continue cooperating with your Mo Family? No way!¡±
Mo Weiyi clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed with rage, ¡°Scum like you, our Mo family wouldn¡¯t stoop low to coborate with!¡±
¡°Miss Mo!¡± Qi Linwang¡¯s face contorted with rage, ¡°Remember you said that.¡± ¡°Yeah, so what if I did? Our Mo Family refuses to partner with you, to save ourselves from getting our hands dirty! Disgraceful!¡±
¡°In that case, let¡¯s sit down and talk about the breach of contract.¡±
¡°Breach of contract? What do you mean?¡±
Qi Linwang smirked triumphantly, ¡°The previous deal was all but done, we signed an agreement then. If either party backs out, they will face ten times the penalty.¡±
¡°Ten times?¡± Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
Though she didn¡¯t understand business, but¡
The Mo family¡¯s current partnership deals started from at least tens of millions, ten times the amount, then?
She suddenly realised, had she again done something wrong?
It was no wonder that despite knowing the Qi family¡¯s trap, Mo Yaoxiong did not want to pick a fight. Ah¡all was lost¡.
Su Wanwan also sensed that something was amiss, rushing to whisper, ¡°Weiyi, stop talking now, let your husband handle this.¡±
Mo Weiyi quickly nodded in agreement.
Qi Linwang sneered, ¡°Miss Mo, are you scared now?¡±
Mo Weiyi remained silent.
Qi Yi then started ranting, ¡°Bitch, you injured me like this, if you don¡¯t kneel and apologise, I swear I¡¯ll not let you off!¡±
Mo Weiyi continued to be silent, only staring at him furiously.
Qi Yi grew more brazen. ¡°What? Still not convinced? Don¡¯t think it ends here, you bitch. I¡¯ve said my piece. If you don¡¯t kneel and apologize to me, I¡¯ll see you in court!¡±
¡°You¡¡± Mo Weiyi was so angry his teeth itched. ¡°Shameless!¡±
Nangong Ci¡¯s expression darkened further. ¡°Mr. Qi, this is a hospital. If you continue yelling, I¡¯ll have you thrown out immediately!¡±
¡°I¡¯m the patient and you are the doctor. Dare to drive me out, huh? You believe me or not, I can summon reporters here and put Nangong Hospital in the headlines!¡± Qi Yi showed his unprincipled nature on the spot.
Su Wanwan felt a headache developing.
She couldn¡¯t believe that the so-called high society was also filled with such shameless barbarity.
¡°Xiaowu, escort him out and call security.¡± Nangong Ci ordered decisively.
Dr. Liu hurriedly began pleading, ¡°Dean, I was wrong! I was just confused for a moment! He forced the money on me, I wasn¡¯t aware of it! Dean, please give me another chance. I promise next time¡¡±
¡°And you think there is going to be a next time?¡±
Nangong Ci found his anger rising again. He lifted his leg and kicked Dr. Liu
hard on his backside. ¡°Get packing and get out!¡±
The secretary¡¯s head was spinning as he dragged Dr. Liu out with him.
The vice-dean normally was good-tempered. Why was he being so vtile today? It¡¯s as if he¡¯d eaten a round of bullets¡
The door opened, revealing a man standing outside.
It was Xiao Yebai.
He was dressed in a dark shirt and ck pants. Over his dark woolen sweater, he wore a tailored ck suit.
His high-bridged nose supported a pair of in sses. With fair skin and handsome features, he looked refined and elegant.
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi rushed over, looking upset and pulling at his arm. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±
Xiao Yebai furrowed his brows. Behind his sses, a pair of sharp eyes darted over the people in the hospital room. A flicker of cold light in them vanished in an instant.
Mo Weiyi nervously began to exin in a low voice, ¡°They had a doctor produce a fake injury report, so I found the vice-dean of this hospital. But Xiaobai, they¡¯re saying they want to breach the contract. What should we do?¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Xiao Yebai turned to Su Wanwan, his voice calm and low. ¡°Miss Su, could you please take Weiyi outside?¡±
Su Wanwan hurried forward. ¡°Weiyi, let¡¯s go outside and wait.¡±
Now, she finally understood: it was best not to get involved with business affairs. Or else it would only lead to more trouble.
Mo Weiyi had no choice but to leave with Su Wanwan.
**
As soon as the door closed, Qi Linwang sneered, ¡°Mr. Xiao, if you¡¯vee to discuss the matter of the West City plot ofnd, you may leave now! If you¡¯re here to apologize forst night¡¯s incident, let me tell you, unless Mrs. Xiao kneels and admits her mistakes¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve just sent a video to Mr. Qi. Wouldn¡¯t Mr. Qi like to watch it?¡± Xiao Yebai interrupted him dispassionately.
Qi Linwang furrowed his brows.
At a time like this, what was he supposed to watch in a video?
¡°The protagonist of the video¡¡± With thin lips curving into a cold smile, Xiao Yebai spoke leisurely. ¡°He¡¯s your respected son.¡±
At the mention of this, Qi Linwang immediately reached for his phone and clicked on the video. Immediately, a bizarre moaning sound could be heard. ¡°Oh Qi¡ you¡¯re so good¡¡±
¡°Qi¡ Oh¡ Ah¡¡±
Aroused cries from two women made Qi Linwang¡¯s eyes widen in shock. His face reddened into the color of a pig¡¯s liver as he scrambled to stop the video.
A look of surprise and fear also shed in Qi Yi¡¯s eyes. Before he could react, Qi Linwang had already rushed over and pped him across the face. ¡°Bastard! When did this happen!¡±
Touching his bandaged face, Qi Yi stalled as he tried to exin, ¡°No¡ Dad, it¡¯s that Xiao son of a bitch framing me. The man in the video isn¡¯t me¡¡±
¡°You think I¡¯m blind? Can¡¯t recognize my own son?¡± Veins bulged on Qi Linwang¡¯s forehead in rage.
He had pampered his only precious son since he was a child.
Now the boy was twenty-four, two years out of university, but he still only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry,pletely neglecting his responsibilities.
It was a rare urrence for him to start getting involved inpany affairs, yet someone managed to take a private video of him, and he just had to be with two women?
The most humiliating part was that Xiao Yebai was now using this video to ckmail him.
Xiao Yebai looked indifferent, his tone just as calm, ¡°I get it. We¡¯re all businessmen here. Huangyou has extended an olive branch to give you a little more profit, so it¡¯s hard to resist. However, is it worth letting your own son¡¯s scandal make the news for just a little bit of gain? I wonder how Qi Yi will feel about his father then?¡±
The color drained from Qi Linwang¡¯s face bit by bit.
¡°If this video were to be leaked to the media¡¡±
¡°No way!¡± Qi Linwang stepped forward, forcing a smile onto his face, ¡°Mr. Xiao, can we negotiate this?¡±
He had heard rumors that the son-inw of the Mo Family was quite good at doing business.
But he would never believe that Xiao Yebai could find such a highly concealed video in less than half a day.
Perhaps from the moment he nned to coborate with the Mo Family, Xiao Yebai had started collecting all this damaging information in private?
Cunning!
Prepared for everything!
Brutal!
Too brutal!
He thought he had all bases covered to ckmail the Mo Family, only to realize that his own secrets had already been exposed.
Xiao Yebai casually handed over another document, ¡°Mr. Qi, please take a look at this one.¡±
With trembling hands, Qi Linwang took the document. His face, which had
been fairly red before, turned pale in an instant.
It was a record of his bribery to the head of the Land Bureau.
Every transaction was clearly recorded.
The payer, the payee, the date of receipt¡ Everything was perfectly clear. ¡°The incident of assaulting Qi Yi was indeed an impulsive act by my wife. Mr. Qi, rest assured, all the medical expenses and hospitalization fees will be fully covered by the Mo Family,¡± said Xiao Yebai calmly again.
Right after that, he handed over a second document, ¡°This is the contract you didn¡¯t have time to signst night.¡±
Qi Yi couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and rushed over, ¡°Dad! Don¡¯t sign the contract with them¡¡±
¡°Bastard!¡± Qi Linwang was furious, and he pped his son again, ¡°Just shut your mouth!¡±
Qi Yi was tremendously frustrated, but with no countermeasures, he could only watch as Qi Linwang picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.
**
In the corridor.
Su Wanwan checked the time, ¡°Weiyi, I need to go to school, otherwise I¡¯ll bete.¡±
Mo Weiyi, ¡°Okay, you go ahead.¡±
Nangong Ci immediately chimed in, ¡°Little sister-inw, let me take you.¡±
¡°You?¡± Su Wanwan looked at him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say you were going back to take a nap?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll drop you off on the way.¡±
He had to be super helpful to his little sister-inw!
Then he could take the credit from his older brother!
So thought Nangong Ci.
¡°Alright then.¡±
Time was indeed running out, and taking a taxi or the bus might cause her to bete. Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to bete, and so she had no choice but to leave with Nangong Ci.
Then she saw that gaudy red sports car.
Su Wanwan recalled how she ran into Huo Jingshen at the airport because of that car. Back then it was¡
Ah-hem.
A bit awkward.
Getting into the car, Nangong Ci let out a loud whistle, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
The sports car roared out, speeding like lightning and drawing the attention of
all the bystanders. It was unapologetically shy.
Su Wanwan was speechless.
Fabulous.
You really are the most mboyant doctor I have ever met!
**
Freaking hell!
Nangong Ci¡¯s eyes widened instantly and he started furiously typing, [No, I didn¡¯t, stop talking nonsense!]
Three denials straight out of the gate.
Lu Chenyu: [Student sister?]
Nangong Ci: [Lu Xiaosi, did you take the wrong medication today? Why are you so talkative?]
But it¡¯s toote, he saw a dark icon suddenly appear in the WeChat group, and then¡
Huo Jingshen: [?]
Nangong Ci hurriedly exined, [Big brother, your wife came to the hospital to ask for my help today. I kindly drove her to school. Please don¡¯t misunderstand!]
Huo Jingshen: [My wife needs you to drive her to school?]
Ming Jing: [Can big brother no longer drive? Or is big brother unable to carry his forty-meter long sword?]
Nangong Ci could only admit his mistake: [Big brother, I was wrong. Would a red packet as an apology do?]
Damn, he originally wanted to take credit, but ended up having to pay an apology of two hundred.
Thought that was the end?
Lu Chenyu: [Your red packet is too small,cks sincerity.]
Nangong Ci was angry, [Chenyu, can you shut your mouth?!]
Lu Chenyu: [Angry enough to die of shame?]
Nangong Ci: [I¡¯ll bite you to death!]
Lu Chenyu: [Threatening words?]
Nangong Ci: [¡]
Impossible to argue with a topwyer!
Irritating!
Angry!
Want to scratch someone!
Chapter 365: 365, the first time I see such flamboyant displays of homosexuality
Chapter 365: the first time I see such mboyant disys of homosexuality
Suddenly.
Nangong Ci smugly typed out a line: [I read a BL fanfiction about Lu Xiaosi and second brother on Weibo today. It
1 s shockingly explicit and outrageous. Does anyone want to take a look?]
Lu Chenyu: [I¡¯ve shared it. Remember to like it.]
He even added his own Weibo address.
Nangong Ci: [¡]
Damn it!
The guy¡¯s invincible!
First time seeing such a high-profile gay, and he even shared it himself on
Weibo.
Totally shameless!
*
Finally at the school, Su Wanwan hustled to get out of the car, ¡°Thanks, I¡¯m off
to ss now.¡±
¡°Sister-inw.¡± Nangong Ci grinningly called her back, ¡°Remember to put in a
good word for me when big brother asks youter.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
As soon as Su Wanwan got out of the car, Nangong Ci took out his phone, snapped a photo of her retreating figure, and swiftly posted it in the WJY
WeChat group.
Who would have guessed?
Lu Chenyu: [Girlfriend?]
Meanwhile, about half an hour after Su Wanwan and Nangong Ci left, the hospital room door finally opened.
Mo Weiyi quickly walked over.
He saw Xiao Yebaie out first, closely followed by Qi Linwang.
¡°Mr. Xiao.¡± Qi Linwang followed changed pace, almost groveling as he cated, ¡°That document, and those videos, could you please destroy them first?¡±
Xiao Yebai opened his thin lips indifferently, ¡°Mr. Qi can rest assured, business is about trust. As long as our cooperation goes smoothly, the things you re worrying about will not happen.¡±
Even so, how could Qi Linwang not worry?
It felt like his life was being held in someone¡¯s hand. With a little squeeze, he
could vanish into thin air.
¡°Mr. Xiao, we¡¯ve signed everything, why do you insist¡¡±
¡°Mr. Qi, instead of worrying about things that won¡¯t happen, worry more about your son. If he continues like this, he will ruin your entire Qi family sooner orter.¡±
Having said this, Xiao Yebai left with Mo Weiyi.
Qi Linwang:¡±¡¡±
*
Once in the elevator, Mo Weiyi asked, ¡°Xiaobai, what was Mr. Qi talking about?
Those videos, documents¡what do they mean?¡±
¡°Nothing.¡± Xiao Yebai narrowed his dark eyes, his handsome face devoid of emotion.
Qi Yi has quite a reputation as a yer in the circle.
He¡¯s young, rich, and generous with women.
But if he ys too hard, he will inevitably gain a bad reputation.
Such dark material isn¡¯t hard to find with a bit of digging.
However¡
Unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, he wouldn¡¯t resort to this method.
Downstairs, Xiao Yebai told the bodyguard, ¡°Take the princess back to the old house first.¡±
Mo Weiyi was puzzled, ¡°Why do we have to go back to the old house?¡±
Wouldn¡¯t it be better to go directly back to Lishui Bay?
She really didn¡¯t want to keep running into that little bitch Qu Yunyao.
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°I have something to take care of. I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
Although it all seemed a bit odd, since Xiaobai had said it that way and promised to pick her up in personter, Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t think too much of it.
So, two cars left the hospital one after another and then parted ways.
*
*
As soon as Mo Weiyi returned to the old house, she stayed in the vi watching dramas until the maid called her for dinner. Arriving in the dining room, she found that Xiao Yebai was already back.
This was a rare urrence.
Usually he¡¯s either workingte or has a dinner engagement, so he rarely makes the effort toe back for dinner.
Seeing this, Mo Weiyi was so happy that she didn¡¯t even mind the sight of certain individuals present.
As for Mo Yaoxiong, having resolved the troubles of both the Li family and the Qi family in a day and sessfully signed a contract, he directly opened a bottle of white wine to celebrate.
However¡
Master Mo¡¯s health was not good, Xu Jing couldn¡¯t drink, and Qu Yunyao refused on the grounds that she had to revise the scriptter.
Mo Weiyi wanted to drink, but was stopped by Xiao Yebai.
So only Mo Yaoxiong and Xiao Yebai were left to toast each other.
Near the end of dinner, Uncle Shi suddenly came in, ¡°Master Xiao, Doctor Pu has arrived.¡±
Master Mo immediately frowned, ¡°Weiyi, are you feeling unwell?¡±
¡°Since Weiyi goes to school on weekdays, I had Dr. Pue over tonight.¡± Xiao Yebai finished speaking and looked at Mo Weiyi, ¡°After dinner, go to the back guest room and let Dr. Pu give you a check-up.¡±
Since Mo Weiyi suspected she was pregnant and her period was inexplicably dyed by more than a week, in the past two months, indeed, she had been somewhat unstable each time.
So, she put down her chopsticks immediately, m full, I will go to the guest room first.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
After Mo Weiyi left, Mo Yaoxiong exined, ¡°Dr. Pu has always been a living advertisement for Nancheng Hospital. She is best at nourishing women s bodies. Over the years, Weiyi¡¯s health has been her responsibility.¡±
Xu Jing nodded.
Qu Yunyao couldn¡¯t help but look at Xiao Yebai again.
Because they were indoors, he had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a dark shirt and a simrly dark-colored woolen vest.
His slim and straight figure, his sharp and cold facial features, and his look with sses under the light all made him exceptionally gentle and jade-like.
He was holding a white porcin cup. His fair and jade-like face was slightly red from the wine, and his long, slim fingers almost blended with the color of the teacup.
Such a clean and refined man made it very difficult for her to imagine what he would look like when he was out of control¡
Suddenly, a wave of nausea rushed up from her throat. Qu Yunyao hurriedly stood up and rushed out, covering her mouth.
¡°What happened?¡± Master Mo frowned.
Xu Jing hurriedly exined, ¡°Her stomach has not been good recently, it¡¯s nothing.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s low, indifferent voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Just right, let Dr. Pu check on her too.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong was stunned.
Xiao Yebai was always indifferent to everyone, even to Mo Weiyi, he always showed a cold demeanor, not warmth. Now, he actually initiated such a conversation?
Xu Jing also felt surprised, and hurriedly said, ¡°No need, Yunyao just has a bad stomach, there¡¯s no need to bother Dr. Pu.¡±
Xiao Yebai did not speak again but just took another sip from his cup casually.
As expected, Mo Yaoxiong immediately said, ¡°Since Dr. Pu just happened to be here, let¡¯s have her check it out. She is one of the top famed doctors in Nancheng. There aren¡¯t many women in our family, you can also let her check on youter.¡±
Since Mo Yaoxiong had spoken, Xu Jing could only shyly agree, ¡°Alright then.
At this moment, Xiao Yebai stood up, ¡°I need to answer a call.¡±
*
*
Qu Yunyao vomited till she felt lightheaded in the bathroom.
Recently, she had drastically reduced her food intake in fear of revealing her secret. She also tried to eat in her room as much as possible.
If it hadn¡¯t been for Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyiing over tonight, she wouldn¡¯t have gone to the dining room to eat with them.
She had tried to eat as little as possible just now for fear of a sudden reaction, but she didn¡¯t expect the reaction to be so strong.
After rinsing her mouth, Qu Yunyao looked in the mirror and pped her face hard to bring some color back to it. She tidied up her appearance to make sure nothing was wrong, then she opened the door and left.
Who would have thought that as soon as she walked out of the restroom, she would find Xiao Yebai standing in the corridor outside.
The window was opened, and he was standing there, not wearing sses, with a cigarette in his thin lips. His side-profile was handsome and chiseled, and his hands were tucked into his trouser pockets.
A night breeze blew past, bringing a faint smell of tobo.
When Xiao Yebai heard the sound, he turned to look at her.
Because of the drink he had had, there was an obvious flush on his fair face.
His eyes were also slightly reddened. As he looked at her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to exude a blurred color of spring. This made Qu Yunyao involuntarily think of a term that only appeared in novels¡
¡°Alluring male beauty¡±.
After a moment of surprise, her heart was already fluttering.
Under his unblinking gaze, she was attracted to him like a moth to a me. She walked over and asked softly, ¡°Brother-inw, what a coincidence.¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say a word, he just looked at her.
The two were standing very close. He was tall. Qu Yunyao had to strive to lift her head to see his handsome profile.
Then, she noticed that his gaze was slightly different from the past.
Xiao Yebai was blessed with naturally gorgeous features that easily ensnared women¡¯s hearts. His eyes, in particr, were beautiful like peach blossoms. His eyes were slender, with slightly upturned ends. Such eyes easily conveyed deep emotions when looking at someone.
However, whenever she made eye contact with him before, she would always feel that his eyes were too cold, like they were concealing a frozen chill. The slight gaze would put a lot of pressure on her.
Today, perhaps due to the alcohol, he seemed to exude a hint of a carefree and unbounded aura. His eyes resembled two deep pools, and as he stared at her unwaveringly, they were watery and reddened with a tint of intoxication. Drowsy, yet bewitchingly charming.
Chapter 366: 366, did Xiaobai get drunk?
Chapter 366: did Xiaobai get drunk?
She didn¡¯t know if it was the alcohol she had consumed, but she exuded an air of indulgence and unruliness today. His eyes were like two deep pools, looking at her straight and unblinking, shimmering with a hint of drunkenness. They were red and tantalizing, seemingly drunk, yet not, dreamy and flirtatious¡
She couldn¡¯t help but be drawn in, as if he was pulling her towards him.
She knew that men reveal their true selves when drunk.
No wonder people say¡ drinking can lead to cmities.
Qu Yunyao felt an illusion as though something was pulling at her heart, giving her courage and impetus.
Taking another step forward, she could smell the strong and distinct masculine scenting from him.
¡°Brother-inw,¡± Qu Yunyao¡¯s voice was soft, gentle, and full of amorous allure, ¡°Are you drunk?¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say anything.
She looked around, trembling hand reaching towards his face.
The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of her own thundering heartbeat was audible.
Thump, thump, thump.
Just as her fingers was about to touch his cheek, the world before her eyes spun and she felt a sudden burning sensation on the back of her hand.
¡°Ah!¡±
Qu Yunyao couldn¡¯t help but scream.
¡°Sorry.¡± His cold voice followed immediately.
Tears welled up in Qu Yunyao¡¯s eyes from the pain.
She looked down at her hand.
The back of her hand was naturally delicate and white, but now it was seared with a cigarette butt.
It was so violent that the skin had broken and the fresh, tender flesh underneath was visible. She could even smell something burnt¡
There was sure to be a scar left behind.
Qu Yunyao was in unbearable pain. She gritted her teeth and waited for the pain to fade. When she finally looked up¡
Xiao Yebai was nowhere to be seen.
He did it on purpose!
He surely did it on purpose!
Qu Yunyao was both mad and upset, yet she could not voice her grievances.
Fearing that her prolonged absence might raise suspicion, she quickly returned to the restroom to rinse her wound with cold water before heading back.
Indeed, by the time she returned to the living room, everyone was already seated on the couch.
Upon seeing her, Xu Jing frowned, ¡°Why did it take you so long just to use the restroom? Making all the elders wait for you, it¡¯s not right.¡±
Qu Yunyao could only apologize, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡1 just received a call.¡±
At this moment, Mo Weiyi returned with a female doctor by his side.
She looked about forty or fifty with a short ck hair that made her seem youthful and vibrant. She was currently chatting andughing with Mo Weiyi. ¡°Dr. Pu, is my granddaughter¡¯s health okay?¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s booming voice inquired.
Dr. Pu chuckled and replied, ¡°Miss Mo is inherently averse to cold and has a weak constitution. Given the cold weather, she needs to keep warm. I just prescribed a tonic for her. With regr intake for several weeks, she should naturally be able to conceive¡¡±
¡°Pregnant?¡± Mo Yaoxiong interrupted in surprise.
Qu Yunyao was equally shocked.
Dr. Puughed, ¡°Miss Mo said she wanted to have a baby as soon as possible, so I gave her the cleansing prescription.¡±
¡°Yiyi wants to have a baby?¡± There was a gleam in Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s eyes.
Mo Weiyi, blushing, tugged at her grandfather¡¯s arm, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t you want to hold your great grandson?¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡± Mo Yaoxiong let out a heartyugh, ¡°In that case, Dr. Pu, you must take good care of my granddaughter¡¯s body, maybe I can hold my great-grandson while I¡¯m still alive!¡±
Xiao Yebai was sitting there with a smirk on his lips that seemed both real and fake.
Mo Weiyi sneaked a nce at him, seeing no sign of objection, she felt content.
¡°Right.¡± Mo Yaoxiong added, ¡°Dr. Pu, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t you examine Yunyao and Xu Jing as well?¡±
Qu Yunyao was startled, ¡°No, I¡¯m in perfect health, we shouldn¡¯t trouble Dr. Pu.¡±
¡°What are you talking about!¡± Xu Jing gave her a warning look, then turned to Dr. Pu with a smile, ¡°We would be grateful if you could, Dr. Pu.¡±
Dr. Pu slightly smiled, ¡°Miss Biao,e with me to the back guest room.¡±
¡°I really don¡¯t need to, my health is quite good¡¡± Qu Yunyao wanted to protest.
She did not know if it was because she had just been scalded by Xiao Yebai. She always felt uneasy and had a bad hunch.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say you had a bad stomach just now?¡± Mo Yaoxiong thought she was being shy, ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. Dr. Pu is a famous doctor at Nancheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Usually, you had to book an appointment months in advance.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xu Jing put more force into her grip, ¡°Hurry up, don¡¯t keep people waiting.¡±
As a guest, she was afraid her daughter didn¡¯t understand the world.
Especially since this doctor had such a high status, they were deriving benefits from Mo Weiyi, and it was too pretentious to be unwilling and indecisive about it.
Seeing that Qu Yunyao was still sitting without moving, she frowned, simply walked over, and pulled her daughter towards the guest room.
**
In the guest room, Qu Yunyao looked flustered.
If it was just a physical checkup, it should not be able to reveal anything about a pregnancy, right? After all, traditional Chinese medicine did not include any urine tests¡
Comforting herself like this, her expression gradually calmed down.
Dr. Pu quickly came in and smiling, she sat down on the sofa next to her, ¡°Miss Biao, please give me your hand.¡±
Qu Yunyao looked at her and extended her left hand.
Doctor Pu ced two fingers on her wrist and began to feel her pulse.
Qu Yunyao was gossiping in her heart.
Just like this?
After a while, Dr. Pu¡¯s brows furrowed slightly, then she smiled and said, ¡°Miss Biao, please give me your right hand.¡±
Qu Yunyao carefully extended her right hand, fearing that Xu Jing would see the burn on the back of her hand.
Dr. Pu began to feel her pulse in her right hand.
As time went by slowly, Qu Yunyao began to calm down.
Then, Dr. Pu finally let go of her hand, a faint smile on her face.
¡°Dr. Pu, how is my daughter¡¯s health?¡± Xu Jing quickly asked.
Dr. Pu looked at her, her smile widening, ¡°Congrattions, your daughter is already two months pregnant.¡±
Qu Yunyao¡¯s eyes widened suddenly, her blood almost surged upward, directly reaching her forehead, leaving her momentarily dazed.
¡°What?¡± Xu Jing¡¯s voice suddenly rose, trembling with shock, ¡°Dr. Pu, did¡ did you say my daughter is pregnant?¡±
¡°Yes, she is more than two months pregnant, the fetus¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Qu Yunyao quickly interrupted her, grasping Xu Jing¡¯s arm and exining desperately, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t believe her, she is talking nonsense, I am not pregnant, I am really not pregnant¡¡±
¡°Miss Biao.¡± Dr. Pu interrupted with a calm voice, ¡°Please don¡¯t doubt my professionalism. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, your pulse is lively and smooth, which is indeed a slippery pulse¡¡±
¡°I was just a bit excited just now, stop talking nonsense!¡± Qu Yunyao interrupted again.
The debate quickly reached the living room outside, Mo Yaoxiong had already walked over at the sound, ¡°What happened?¡±
Before Qu Yunyao had time to stop her, Dr. Pu swiftly walked out of the guest room and said loudly, ¡°Miss Biao is two months pregnant¡¡±
¡°What? Yunyao is pregnant?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice was surprised.
Xu Jing stood in the doorway of the guest room, feeling utterly embarrassed.
But Qu Yunyao had already chased her out, pulling hard at Dr. Pu¡¯s arm and shouting, ¡°What are you bbering about? I didn¡¯t get pregnant at all, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense!¡±
Old man Mo frowned deeply, looking displeased.
This Qu Yunyao was only neen years old and was always obedient, timid, and not talkative.
Although he didn¡¯t much like this character, he still thought she was a decent and sensible girl. He never expected that she would be pregnant before marriage¡ His impression of her fell immensely.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you say you were pregnant when you were?¡± Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, ¡°Two months? At that time we were all in Haicheng, I remember you were with your boyfriend then. No wonder.¡±
After speaking, he immediately looked at Xiao Yebai, ¡°Xiaobai, look, Yunyao is pregnant. She¡¯s even younger than me.¡±
Xiao Yebai pursed his lips and didn¡¯t say a word.
¡°Pm not, it must be false, how could it be, I¡¯m not pregnant!¡± Qu Yunyao started shouting.
Mo Yaoxiong frowned and then, Dr. Pu¡¯s voice rang out calmly, ¡°I am fifty-eight years old this year. I entered the traditional Chinese medicine industry when I was twenty years old. I have been practising medicine for over thirty years and have never misdiagnosed!¡±
¡°You¡ You only touched my hand, how could you find out I was pregnant?¡± Qu Yunyao just wanted to deny it.
¡°Miss Biao is ignorant, I don¡¯t me you. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting. After a woman is pregnant, her pulse is different from the past. Because after pregnancy, the blood flow in the pregnant woman¡¯s body is higher than the average person, so the pulse beat is more lively and smooth, like a pearl running on a te, this is called a slippery pulse. I guarantee with my over thirty years of traditional Chinese medicine experience, my diagnosis will absolutely not be wrong..¡±
Chapter 367: 367, Poke through face to face
Chapter 367: Poke through face to face
¡°I don¡¯t me you for yourck of knowledge, Miss. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and pulse diagnosis. A woman¡¯s pulse is different after pregnancy. The blood flow in a pregnant woman¡¯s body is higher than normal, so their pulse is typically more lively, like beads rolling on a te; this is known as ¡°Hua Mai¡± (lively pulse). I can guarantee with my over thirty-year¡¯s worth of traditional Chinese medical experience that my diagnosis will not be wrong.¡±
¡°Impossible, you¡¯re making this up¡¡±
¡°Yunyao!¡± Xu Jing cast an angry gaze at her daughter, ¡°What did I tell you before? You absolutely cannot go that far before marriage! Did you just ignore my words? Also, you¡¯ve had no appetitetely and you¡¯ve been constantly nauseous and wanting to vomit. When I asked you about itst time, you lied to me that you¡¯re having a stomach problem. I remember you started to have these symptoms a month ago, and even went to the hospital for a checkup- why did you hide it from me?¡±
Having said that, she could no longer hold back, and pped Yunyao on her face.
Qu Yunyao¡¯s cheek quickly reddened and swelled. She was in pain and terrified, and tears poured out from her eyes.
¡°I get it now!¡± Mo Weiyi interjected, ¡°Last time at the hospital, she also said she wasn¡¯t feeling well; she was nauseous, wanted to vomit and had no appetite for food. Now I understand, Yunyao, pregnancy is a good thing, why didn¡¯t you tell us?¡±
Qu Yunyao gritted her teeth, looking at Mo Weiyi¡¯s sweet and charming face. She felt that Mo Weiyi was pretending to be innocent, and it was so disgusting that she wanted to puke!
¡°I really am not pregnant. That must just be the nonsense of this quack doctor. The doctor told me during thest check-up that I just had a stomach problem. Mother, I really did not lie to you, I am truly not pregnant¡¡±
¡°Hmph!¡± Doctor Pu scoffed, ¡°My family has been practicing medicine for generations; my ancestors have even served as royal physicians for Emperor Qianlong, and we still have the golden sign bestowed by Emperor Qianlong hanging in our house. Over these years, our family¡¯s reputation has never been tarnished. Do you think I ndered you on purpose about your pregnancy Miss?¡±please visit ¡± sitestorys(.)c0m ¡± maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
¡°I usually only help Miss Mo with health maintenance and rarelye to Mo¡¯s residence for treatment. Today is the first time I¡¯ve seen you here, Miss. We are strangers and have no reason for animosity. Why would I nder you with false usations of pregnancy?¡±
Dr. Pu, being a man of temper, was visibly angered by this and almost scolded Yunyao.
¡°Besides, what benefits would I gain from falsely using you of being pregnant? If Miss isn¡¯t willing to admit it, we can go to the nearest hospital right now and have both traditional Chinese and Western doctors give you a checkup to prove my innocence!¡±
With a shame-faced look, Xu Jing hastily spoke, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Pu. My daughter is naive; please don¡¯t take offense to her words.¡±
Her unmarried daughter being pregnant had been revealed to everyone, and now she was even showing such ignorance publicly¡
Xu Jing had never had such an experience before, she felt extremely ashamed, her entire face ming up in embarrassment as she wished she could just find a hole to hide in.
¡°Our family¡¯s reputation can¡¯t be ruined in my hands after all these years.¡± Doctor Pu looked at Grandpa Mo, neither overbearing nor submissive, ¡°Old man, I request that we go to the nearest hospital with Miss now. If Miss still doesn¡¯t trust me, we can invite several doctors there to provide a diagnosis.¡±
Grandpa Mo looked gloomy, ncing at Qu Yunyao with annoyance and disgust.
¡°It¡¯s not necessary, really not necessary, Dr. Pu, it¡¯s just that my daughter is ignorant, she really doesn¡¯t understand.¡± Xu Jing pulled Qu Yunyao by the arm after finishing her words, ¡°Tell us, who is the father of the child?¡±
Qu Yunyao lowered her head and could only cry.
The incident happened too suddenly.
She was only neen after all. Although she had initially nned to frame Xiao Yebai with the unbom child, she hadn¡¯t set her ns in motion yet, or even thought of a proper excuse when the secret of her pregnancy was prematurely discovered.
If she were to announce now that the child was Xiao Yebai¡¯s, she would most likely beughed at!
¡°Auntie.¡± Mo Weiyi opened her clear eyes, ¡°The child must be Yunyao¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s, right? Since they¡¯ve had a child, why not hurry up and get married? Why are you so angry?¡±
Xu Jing:¡±¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong also tried to soothe, ¡°Since things have alreadye to this, Xu Jing, don¡¯t be angry anymore. Although Yunyao is still young, having a child is a happy asion after all.¡±
A happy asion?
Xu Jing lowered her head, feeling humiliated. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t know Yunyao would do such a thing¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Mo Yaoxiongforted.
He had initially thought that Qu Yunyao was mature and independent for her age and that Xu Jing had raised a good daughter, but¡
As he sighed to himself, he couldn¡¯t help but feel that he had misjudged her.
Being pregnant at the age of neen and unmarried at that, even though it was due to her being unable to control her feelings for her boyfriend, it would still be seen as improper if word got out.
**
Suddenly finding out that her daughter was pregnant, Xu Jing no longer had theposure to let Dr. Pu continue the consultation.
She immediately took her daughter back to their room.
As the door closed, her facepletely changed, ¡°Tell me honestly, is this child really Xu Rui¡¯s!?¡±
Qu Yunyao remained silent.
Xu Jing had suspicions for a while, after all, if the child is truly Xu Rui¡¯s, why would she hide it and deny it so adamantly?
There must be another reason.
¡°Speak up!¡±
Xu Jing shouted sharply, and Qu Yunyao¡¯s body shuddered abruptly. Finally, her face turned pale, and she said, ¡°It¡¯s¡ It¡¯s Xu Rui¡¯s.¡±
Xu Jing felt a sigh of relief deep down, ¡°Then why did you hide it?¡±
Qu Yunyao could only continue bluffing, ¡°I was afraid that you would be upset with me for being careless¡¡±
¡±1 am upset with you, but now that you¡¯re already pregnant, what¡¯s done is done. I can¡¯t possibly ask you to terminate the pregnancy, can I?¡±
Although angry, Xu Jing was still rational, ¡°You¡¯re already two months pregnant. Your belly will only get bigger with time. I can¡¯t afford to lose face.¡±
Having said that, she directly reached out, ¡°Give me your phone. I need to discuss the wedding arrangements with Xu Rui.¡±
¡°No, mom.¡± Qu Yunyao hadn¡¯t even prepared a proper exnation with Xu Rui yet. How could she possibly let Xu Jing call him now?
A look of suspicion once again appeared on Xu Jing¡¯s face, ¡°What¡¯s going on with you?¡±
¡°Mom, can I¡ can I discuss it with him first? Because he doesn¡¯t know about this either, I haven¡¯t told anyone¡¡±
¡°You¡¡± Xu Jing couldn¡¯t hold back her anger, raising her hand to jab Qu Yunyao¡¯s forehead, ¡°You¡¯repletely muddled!¡±
Qu Yunyao:¡±¡¡±
¡°Make arrangements to meet Xu Rui tomorrow. I want to see him personally.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Yunyao to be pregnant so soon, wow.¡±
Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, squinting her stunning cat-shaped eyes, and nagged nonstop, ¡°She must have found out during myst hospital stay when I had a fever. Why did she deny it just now? Unbelievable! Dr. Pu can¡¯t stand being questioned about her profession, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen her so angry in all the time I¡¯ve known her¡¡±
Xiao Yebai was driving the car, and he didn¡¯t say anything.
After Mo Weiyi ranted for a while, she didn¡¯t feel like thinking about it anymore.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
She turned her head, looked at the man who was concentrating on driving, and said with a smile, ¡°Dr. Pu gave me a prescription earlier. She said that after a few weeks of treatment, I should be able to get pregnant easily.¡±
¡°You should focus on your studies first.¡± Xiao Yebai answered indifferently, as usual.
¡°I am studying.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re not interested inw, you can change your major.¡± They came to a red light, and Xiao Yebai stopped the car.
Change major?
Mo Weiyi tilted her face, her pretty little face full of bewilderment, ¡°Change to what major?¡±
¡°Whatever you¡¯re interested in?¡±
¡°I¡¯m interested in you.¡±
Xiao Yebai:¡±¡¡±
She turned her head to see Mo Weiyi propping her cheeks with her hands, innocently looking at him.
Her pretty cat eyes were smiling, forming two crescents.
Then, he looked straight ahead, ¡°I was asking if there¡¯s another major you are interested in. Law can indeed be tedious. Many legal provisions require rote memorization that is time consuming and which may indeed not suit you.¡±
After some thought, he suggested, ¡°Things like Chinesenguage, drawing, design, or even¡finance, anything you¡¯re interested in?¡±
Mo Weiyi continued to smile, ¡°I¡¯m only interested in you.¡±
Xiao Yebai again:
He suddenly remembered a scenario from two years ago.
At that time, Mo Weiyi was only seventeen years old, just in her third year of high school, right before the university entrance exam. Given her grades at the time, there was essentially no hope.
She chased him around every day, constantly talking about getting married or¡sleeping with him.
Old Mr. Mo, who would do anything for his only granddaughter.
Although he did not like this adoptive son who suddenly appeared, as long as his granddaughter liked it, he would directly order a wedding without hesitation.
Under various pressures, Xiao Yebai promised her at that time that if she could get into Nancheng University on her own capability, he would consider the matter of marriage..
Chapter 368: 368, is it a boy or a girl?
Chapter 368: is it a boy or a girl?
He had guessed that with herzy and self-centered character, it was impossible for her to take up studying, which is usually deemed dull and mundane.
Moreover, at that time, only a year was left.
But to his astonishment, Mo Weiyi seriously buckled down during that year. She stopped spending all her time shopping, applying makeup, and day-dreaming¡
Instead, she hired numerous top-notch mentors and did nothing but study every day-even on holidays, she would stay home and bury herself in schoolwork. As a result, she hardly had any contact with her best friend, Su Wanwan, during this period.
One yearter, she did get epted to the Law Department at Nancheng University by her own efforts.
Because of this, his impression of Mo Weiyi changed.
In reality, she was not uneducated and frivolous as exaggerated by the rumors.
She just didn¡¯t love, like, or show any interest in studying; hence, she didn¡¯t feel the motivation to do it.
However, if a purpose could stimte her ambition to conquer studying then she would devote herself totally to ovee it diligently and earnestly. Possibly¡
Just like how she conquered him.
The green light turned on.
Xiao Yebai drove the car out. In the confined space of the car, his low, cold, and clean votce softly rang out, ¡°Do you really want to get pregnant?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Mo Weiyiughed, ¡°Doctor Pu said that women who have children at an earlier age recover quicker. Look, I¡¯m twenty years old. If I start preparing for a baby now, in a few years, the young one would be walking and talking and I¡¯d still be the prettiest hot mom, and you¡¯d be the most handsome dad! We can take our little bundle on vacations¡ By the way, Xiaobai, do you prefer a boy or a girl?¡±
Even though she¡¯d prefer to have a little boy who looks just like Xiao Yebai, she¡¯d be fine if he prefers a girl.
Isn¡¯t there a saying? Daughters are their father¡¯s lovers from a past life. That¡¯s why most men favor daughters.
Mo Weiyi envisioned a scene in her mind.
Her looking stylish and morous, her daughter as cute as a doll-both of them wearing matching mother-daughter outfits, being interviewed together appearing on the covers of newspapers and magazines, setting the whole country on fire¡
The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more excited she became, ¡°Or¡ let¡¯s just have a pair of boy and girl twins? I heard that assisted reproductive technology can bring about twins these days. In recent news, a Taiwanese celebrity couple just had triplets.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s brows twitched slightly, ¡°The ovtion injection is quite painful.¡±
¡°How painful?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
She¡¯s most fearful of pain.
Her delicate features scrunched up tightly.
But the next moment¡
¡°That¡¯s okay. If other women can do it, so can I. As long as I can have a pair of boy and girl twins.¡±
Xiao Yebai:¡±¡¡±
Clearing his throat, he said gravely, ¡°If you really want to get pregnant, wait until after graduation.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Mo Weiyi argued, ¡°Didn¡¯t my grandpa just say that he wants to hold his great-grandson? He¡¯s nearly eighty years old this year and his health isn¡¯t great. Xiaobai, let¡¯s just have a baby. It won¡¯t disturb your work; all you need to provide is the sperm. The baby would grow inside me, and I can go back to school after giving birth. Isn¡¯t that the same?¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°You agreed?¡±
¡°If you can rank in the top ten in your English exam this semester, I will consider letting you get pregnant.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s delicate features scrunched up again, ¡°Why does it have to be the top ten? I barely attended any sses this semester.¡±
The truth is, after working hard for a year to get into Nancheng University and marrying Xiao Yebai during that summer vacation, Mo Weiyi started to ck off once she entered university. Other than partying, she hardly went to school let alone attend sses.
¡°Xiaobai, can wepromise¡¡±
¡°No negotiating.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s lips curled up, ¡°Or¡would you rather rank in the top ten in all subjects?¡±
¡°No! English will do.¡± Mo Weiyi quickly agreed.
It was alreadyte November, and there were less than two months left until the end-of-semester exams. For someone like her, who hardly attended sses, it would be impossible for her to rank in the top ten in all subjects in such a short period of time.
But it seemed feasible if it was just English.
After weighing the options in her mind, Mo Weiyi reluctantly agreed by counting on her fingers, ¡°Fine, top ten it is. But you have to find me a tutor, a really good one.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
**
The next day, Mo Group.
Zhong Kai was sitting at the ck office desk, holding a notebook, reporting
the progress of recent work projects.
An hour passed by the time he finished the report.
He opened the Word document on hisputer to prepare his notes, ¡°Mr.
Xiao, do you have anyments or suggestions¡¡±
¡°Find me a tutor.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s lengthy fingers were resting against his temples
¡ª¡±For a third-year university English course.¡±
Huh? Zhong Kai didn¡¯t react for a moment.
Any problems?¡± Xiao Yebai lowered his eyelids.
¡°No, no, is the tutor for the princess?¡±
As soon as he asked, he felt that his question was rather foolish. Hurriedly, Zhong Kai added, ¡°Of course, it must be. Being so concerned about the princess¡¯s academic achievements, Mr. Xiao is indeed a good husband¡¡±
Xiao Yebai raised his brows, and he promptly shut up, hugging his notebook as he stood up, ¡°Mr. Xiao, I¡¯ll head out to arrange that now.¡±
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Xiao Yebai suddenly called him back.
Then, Zhong Kai heard his boss¡¯s deep, indifferent voice say, ¡°Find a female tutor.¡±
A female tutor?
With a quick shift of his eyes, Zhong Kai understood. ¡°Yes, CEO Xiao.¡±
Leaving the office, he couldn¡¯t help butugh.
CEO Xiao always seemed so cold, who would have thought his possessiveness towards the princess was this strong?
Even when finding a tutor he specifically requested a female one, preventing any potential problems before they ur!
**
Zhong Kai was very efficient in his work.
The following evening, before Xiao Yebai had returned home, Mo Weiyi had just finished dinner when she saw him bring a young girl into the vi.
¡°Princess, this is Miss Chen. She is a junior at the Foreign Language University, and has already passed the IELTS exam smoothly. She¡¯s here to give a trial tutoring lesson tonight.¡±
¡°Hello, Miss Mo.¡±
Chen Jin wore burgundy thin-rimmed sses, had a white clean face, a shy smile, was probably around 1.65 meters tall, dressed in student-appropriate attire ¨C white cotton clothes and jeans, paired with ck cotton shoes with a slope heel.
She looked the part of a good student.
Mo Weiyi nodded, ¡°Come in after changing your shoes.¡±
After changing into cotton slippers, Chen Jin followed Mo Weiyi into the study. ¡°Teacher Chen,¡± under the bright light, Mo Weiyi was fretfully biting the top of her ck ink pen, ¡°I haven¡¯t attended university for the past two years, and haven¡¯t even taken the CET-4 or CET-6. Can intensive study at thisst moment help me score within the top 10 of the ss in the final exams?¡±
Chen Jin:¡±¡¡±
She hadn¡¯t attended university for two years?
She hadn¡¯t taken the CET-4 or CET-6?
She wants to get into the top ten of the ss?
Zhong Kai hadn¡¯t mentioned these details to her, but¡
Even if it¡¯s not possible, she must say it¡¯s possible!
After all, the fee that Zhong Kai offered is high.
There were other students at the Foreign Language University who were more outstanding than her. It¡¯s just that she had recentlypleted IELTS, and had gotten this trial teaching opportunity through her teacher¡¯s introduction.
The teacher had only said it was a good opportunity, and she had noticed that this residential area was filled with luxury cars. The vi was huge ¨C it was obviously a wealthy family.
Especially after seeing Mo Weiyi¡¯s doll-like pretty and pure face¡
She immediately said, ¡°As long as you memorize all the key points I assign, it¡¯s definitely possible to be in the top ten.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Mo Weiyi was visibly delighted, ¡°Then let¡¯s begin.¡±
Chen Jin flipped open an English textbook and started lecturing.
Mo Weiyi was nodding along.
Chen Jin¡¯s speaking volume was just right, her English pronunciation was standard, and she was patient and meticulous in her lectures.
Although she was a bit confused, Mo Weiyi managed to endure the two-hour session.
At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, Chen Jin looked at the time and stood up on time, ¡°Miss Mo, let¡¯s call it a day for today¡¯s trial tutoring. If you think I¡¯m suitable, I hope you can put in a good word for me to Mr. Zhong. I really hope tond this job.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
When they reached the door of the study, Zhong Kai quickly stood up.
After the servant saw Chen Jin out, Zhong Kai immediately asked, ¡°Princess, what do you think of Miss Chen¡¯s teaching?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Mo Weiyi said.
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll sign the contract with her. The exam is at the end of January, and now it¡¯s the end of November, which is precisely two months.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
**
The next day.
Mo Weiyi arrived at school early in the morning.
And she even directly went to Su Wenwen¡¯s ssroom.
Su Wanwan looked at her, ¡°Did you take the wrong pills? You¡¯ve actuallye to listen to my English ss with me?¡±
Mo Weiyi said, ¡°Xiaobai wants my English score to be in the top ten of the ss at the end of this semester. The English ss for juniors is general education, so it¡¯s the same if I listen here.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, ¡°Top ten of the ss?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°You?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°You must be joking, right?¡± Su Wanwan looked bewildered, ¡°Did you ever
study English in your freshman and sophomore years?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then how are you going to get into the top ten of the ss?¡±
By cramming for thest two months before the exam?
Chapter 369: 369, Zimbabwe
Chapter 369: Zimbabwe
Mo Weiyi coughed twice, leaning close to her, ¡°Because I want to get pregnant. Xiaobai said that if my English grade could make it into the top ten in ss, he would consider letting me get pregnant.¡±
¡°Just consider?¡± Su Wanwan found the key word decisively.
Mo Weiyi blinked her gorgeous cat eyes, ¡°That¡¯s how I married him two years ago!¡±
At that time, Xiao Yebai said that if she could use her own ability to get into Nancheng University, he would consider marrying her.
Later when she really got into Nancheng University, he started to back out.
So she simply stormed into his room and cooked the uncooked rice.
By the next day, she switched sides and agreed to get engaged to Chu Xiuhuang.
And then she realized¡
Well, there are times when you need to stimte some introverted men with unconventional means!
That¡¯s why Mo Weiyi agreed so readilyst night, after all, she had a sessful previous experience.
As for Su Wanwan, she shook her head helplessly, feeling that Mo Weiyi was beyond redemption.
On the issue of liking Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi waspletely hopeless!
*
*
In the following days, Mo Weiyi really came to school every day, from nine to five, rain or shine.
As the English Level 4 exam was imminent, Su Wanwan apanied her, the two went to ss, had meals, and studied together every day. They simply became a model pair of good students in the school.
Nancheng soon entered the twelfth cold month.
Half a monthter, the English Level 4 and 6 exams officially arrived.
After finishing all the questions and checking them again, Su Wenwen handed in her paper early and gracefully left the examination room.
When she was waiting for Mo Weiyi in the corridor, a voice suddenly came.
¡°Su Wenwen!¡±
Su Wanwan raised her head to look.
It was Bai Ruwei.
¡°How did you do on the test?¡± Bai Ruwei asked her with a smile.
¡°Pretty good.¡±
¡°With all your hard work, you¡¯ll definitely pass with flying colors.¡± Bai Ruwei then looked at the time, ¡°Ah, I¡¯ll bete for work, I gotta go. See you, Wanwan.¡± ¡°¡Okay.¡±
Actually, Su Wanwan bumped into Bai Ruwei quite often at school, but every time they would greet each other and then Bai Ruwei had to rush off to work.
Today, after finishing the Level 4 and 6 exam, she rushed off to work, Bai Ruwei was definitely the most industrious girl she had ever met.
Su Wanwan waited a while longer before seeing Mo Weiyi strolling over.
The Little Princess was wearing a thick pink short down coat, with a matching rabbit hair scarf and a red fluffy hat, she looked utterly adorable.
There was a tall guy by her side, the two were walking and talking.
When they arrived, Mo Weiyi immediately wrinkled her cute little face, ¡°Baby Wanwan, I can recognize those English letters, but they can¡¯t recognize me¡¡± The guyughed at Su Wanwan, then looked at Mo Weiyi, with a youthful and innocent voice, ¡°Senior, I¡¯m going back to the dorm first.¡±
Mo Weiyi nodded.
¡°By the way, scan my WeChat,¡± the boy took out his phone.
Seeing Mo Weiyi scan the QR code and add WeChat, the boy left satisfied, Su Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Who is this guy?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, he sat behind me in the exam, seems to be a freshman from the Law department.¡±
Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°You add him on WeChat even though you don¡¯t know him?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the big deal, we are in the same department anyway, and he¡¯s my junior.¡± After saying this, Mo Weiyi sighed again, ¡°He¡¯s a freshman, and I¡¯m a junior, and we¡¯re sitting together taking the English Level 4 exam. Do you think the school did it on purpose? Don¡¯t we study ckers have any dignity?¡± ¡°If you wanted dignity, would you be a cker?¡± Su Wanwan retorted.
¡°Just you wait, in another month, I¡¯ll definitely make it into the top ten in the ss!¡± Mo Weiyi shook her little fists, ¡°Then I won¡¯t have to go to school next year, I¡¯ll be able to stay at home and get pregnant. Then you¡¯ll have a godson!¡± Su Wanwan:
She waspletely out of her mind!
*
*
Two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, in the reading room.
Su Wenwen suddenly received a WeChat message from Huo Jingshen, immediately stood up and packed her things, ¡°Weiyi, my husband has a friend who has a birthday today, he asked me to rx, so I can¡¯t apany you.¡± ¡°Who?¡± Mo Weiyi huffed, ¡°Is it Chu Xiuhuang?¡±
¡°No, another person surnamed Lu.¡± Su Wenwen had just finished speaking when she saw the junior from this morninging over.
The seats in the reading room were always scarce, it seemed that he quickly came over as soon as he saw her leaving.
When he saw Mo Weiyi, he immediately greeted her with a smile, ¡°Senior, what a coincidence.¡±
Mo Weiyi lifted his head, smiling sweetly and said, ¡°What a coincidence.¡±
Is it though?
Observing the two of them sitting together, Su Wenwen saw a young, beautiful girl and a handsome, refined boy. Anyone who didn¡¯t know them might think they were a campus couple.
*
*
Half an hourter, Su Wenwen arrived at the agreed-upon clubhouse.
Unlike the extravagant entertainment clubs, this clubhouse was designed more elegantly and was more suitable for the general consumer¡¯s demands.
Su Wenwen walked right in.
At this time, the clubhouse wasn¡¯t too crowded. After giving Huo Jingshen¡¯s name, the doorman let her in.
After entering the lobby and finding the elevator, the door opened to reveal a familiar man inside.
¡°Oh, who do we have here?¡± Huo Zhexi squinted his eyes, which were slightly simr to Huo Jingshen¡¯s narrow eyes.
It¡¯s been a while since hest saw this sassy girl.
After Huo Jingshen scared him about the issue with the dressst time, his parents had returned from abroad, and Huo Zhexi had been kept at home under their watch. He behaved well for a while.
Later, he went to Las Vegas with his friends for over a month. The blink of an eye, three months had passed, and he had unexpectedly run into his nemesis here!
Standing next to him was a young gentleman who, upon seeing Su Wanwan, was instantly drawn in. He hurriedly asked him, ¡°Zhexi, who¡¯s this girl? Introduce me, quickly.¡±
Huo Zhexi replied defiantly, ¡°Who do you think she looks like?¡±
The gentleman rubbed his chin,paring the image of Su Wanwan in front of him again and again, finally saying, ¡°I think she looks quite like Lu Zixi.¡±
Lu Zixi is a female artist who had recently risen to national fame due to several TV dramas with her as the lead female continuously airing.
¡°Her?¡± Huo Zhexi immediately made a puking gesture, ¡°I feel like vomiting!¡±
Su Wanwan had already pressed the button for the 8th floor. Upon hearing the noise, she smirked at Huo Zhexi, ¡°Little brother, what¡¯s wrong with me?¡± ¡°Damn it, who¡¯s your little brother?¡± Huo Zhexi¡¯s dyed red hair stood on end from the rage.
Little brother?
This bratty girl is three years younger than him, and now she¡¯s calling him little brother?
Su Wanwan tilted her head, ¡°So, should I call you¡ mistress?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be damned!¡± Huo Zhexi clenched his fist, ring ominously at her, ¡°You little wench, you¡¯re in for it!¡±
¡°Last time you said the same thing and it has been a few months already. I have been waiting. What exactly do you want to do?¡±
¡°You¡¡± Unable to hold back, Huo Zhexi was about to hit her.
Just then, the elevator door fatefully opened.
¡°Husband!¡±
Su Wanwan immediately put on a sweet smile. She ran out, throwing her arm around the arm of the stern, mature man standing at the elevator entrance. In a coquettish voice sheined, ¡°Husband, mistress was bullying me!¡± Mistress Huo Zhexi hastily withdrew his fist and shrank backward, struggling to muster an awkward smile, ¡°Big brother, what a coincidence, hehe.¡±
Damn, are these two conjoined twins or something?
Why do they always seem to turn up everywhere!
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, his voice low and cold, ¡°No coincidence.¡±
Huo Zhexi was taken aback,
¡°I came specifically to pick up your sister-inw.¡±
The gentleman standing nearby was also stunned, this girl is Huo Zhexi¡¯s sister-inw?
¡°What were you trying to do just now?¡±
With Huo Jingshen¡¯s question, a cold sweat trickled down Huo Zhexi¡¯s back. All he could do was reply with a grin, ¡°I was just joking with sister-inw.¡±
Who would¡¯ve expected Su Wanwan to immediately retort, ¡°Husband, mistress just called me a wench! He even wanted to hit me!¡±
¡°You wench¡¡±
¡°See, husband, he¡¯s cursing at me again right in front of you!¡±
¡°You¡¡± A lump formed in Huo Zhexi¡¯s throat. He was so frustrated he felt like he would choke.
Huo Jingshen opened his thin lips and spoke, ¡°If I recall correctly, you just got back from Las Vegas?¡±
Huo Zhexi again put on his best smile, ¡°Yes, big brother, I just got backst week.¡±
¡°I think you need another trip. How about Zimbabwe?¡±
¡°What?¡± Huo Zhexi was confused, ¡°Where is Zimbabwe?¡±
Su Wanwan chuckled, ¡°Ignorance is really terrible!¡±
The ignorant Huo Zhexi was so pissed!
He had to quickly look up where Zimbabwe is when he got back!
Huo Jingshen¡¯s brows furrowed, his deep voice filled with danger and warning, ¡°Next time I see you act indecently towards your sister-inw, you¡¯ll be spending the rest of your life abroad..¡±
Chapter 370: 370, die-hard brainless fans
Chapter 370: die-hard brainless fans
Huo Jingshen¡¯s brow furrowed, his low voice filled with danger and warning,
¡°If I ever see you disrespecting my sister-inw again, you will stay abroad
forever and never return.¡±
After issuing the warning, he left with Su Wanwan.
Huo Zhexi clenched his fists tightly, almost grinding his teeth in frustration.
?Zhexi, is that girl really your sister-inw?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
The young master clucked his tongue twice, ¡°She only looks like she¡¯s in her teens. I didn¡¯t expect your brother to have such a taste, liking an older woman with a young body.¡±
¡°It¡¯S not my brother¡¯s taste that¡¯s strong, it¡¯s that damned girl¡¯s crafty methods.¡± Huo Zhexi remembered the fear he once felt when controlled by Su
Wanwan.
He felt that he should avoid this cunning girl in the future, better not to visit
the main house for some time, lest she ensnare him again.
The elevator continued to ascend and soon arrived at the top floor. The two men stepped out of the elevator and entered a private room.
The scene inside was one of hedonistic indulgence.
Upon seeing the main characters arrive, their friends and tterers immediately started making a ruckus, calling for the servers to pour drinks.
HUO Zhexi was still upset, and reached for a drink as soon as it was put down.
He didn¡¯t notice something in the way and felt a sudden chill, followed by a
woman screaming, ¡°Ah¡¡±
A friend immediately rebuked, ¡°Are you blind?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t do anything right!¡±
¡°Did you get possessed by something?¡±
¡öI ii
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± The woman hurriedly started mopping up the drink spilled on Huo Zhexi¡¯s suit trousers, choking on her words, ¡°It¡¯s not deliberate, sir, I¡¯m so sorry. Could you forgive me this time?¡±
Huo Zhexi looked at the girl.
She was wearing the club¡¯s standard waitress uniform, a ck tight-fitting shirtbined with a id skirt, crouching down on the ground, her slender legs shining particrly white under the dim light.
Her face was tear-streaked, lightly made-up, and under the chaotic environment, she appeared as a fresh and gentle lily, evoking a sense of pity.
¡°You don¡¯t recognize me?¡± Huo Zhexi asked with doubt.
He considered himself to be quite a significant figure in Nancheng, and although he hadn¡¯t been active for over three months, he had frequented this club in the past. Could there actually be a waitress who didn¡¯t recognize him. The girl seemed frightened; her voice was weak and shaky as she responded, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir, I¡I just started working here.
Huo Zhexi extended his hand.
The girl¡¯s face was lifted up.
¡°Speak.¡± Huo Zhexi raised his eyebrow in amusement, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°L..I¡¯m Bai Ruwei.¡±
¡°Bai Ruwei,¡± Huo Zhexi murmured quietly, ¡°Hmm, what a beautiful name.¡± The man¡¯spliment and the clear signs of attraction in his eyes caused the girl¡¯s face to blush, and she slowly revealed a beautiful, slightly shy smile.
Indeed, the person was as lovely as her name.
Delighted, Huo Zhexi grabbed her hand, saying, ¡°Come, sit down and have a drink with me!¡±
So Bai Ruwei sat down on the sofa, following his lead.
At this moment, the whole group of tterers were shocked.
If this had happened to Huo Zhexi before, being sshed with a drink by a waitress, he would have pped her in a fit of rage.
Despite being generous, he was known to have a vtile temperament, never one to coddle or pamper the fairer sex.
But what happened today? He not only did not get angry but also invited the waitress to sit down and have a drink with him.
Looking at the waitress¡¯s appearance, welL.it was just okay.

In the corridor, a door closed.
A few waitresses immediately gathered to gossip.
¡°Did you see that? That¡¯s what you call having skills!¡±
-She seemed quite innocent usually, who would¡¯ve thought she was such a schemer!¡±
¡°She intentionally spilled the drink on Mr. Huo¡¯s trousers! And also pretended not to know him! Utterly shameless!
¡°Do you seriously think the Huo family will let her in through their doors? A poor girl like her from who-knows-where, she¡¯s just deluded!¡± ¡°You just don¡¯t understand. Even if the Huo family doesn¡¯t let her through the door, if she has caught Mr. Huo¡¯s eye, she won¡¯t miss out on the benefits.¡± ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s said that Mr. Huo gives each of his ex-girlfriends a break-up fee worth hundreds of thousands!¡±

On the eighth floor.
Huo Jingshen led Su Wanwan into a high-end VIP room.
There were only four men inside.
They were Chu Xiuhuang, Nangong Ci, Ming Jing, and today¡¯s birthday boy, Lu
Chenyu.
Looking around, there were no streamers or balloons, not even a hint of a birthday atmosphere.
Unable to resist, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Is this a birthday party? Howe¡there
are so few people?¡±
A smirk appeared on Huo Jingshen¡¯s lips, ¡°He has a more introverted
personality.¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t helpughing.
Introverted? What even?
Indeed, Lu Chenyu doesn¡¯t talk much.
Every time they meet, Nangong Ci talks the most, and everyone else is rtively talkative.
Only Lu Chenyu always has a poker face and hardly talks, asionally blurting out a couple of words.
If it¡¯s not a proverb, then it¡¯s some popr inte ng or catchphrase.
Probably a typical introverted 5G surfhound.
Purportedly awyer, shouldn¡¯twyers be eloquent?
-Hey, Wanwan, you look really¡¡± Nangong Ci tilted his head, trying to think of an adjective.
Birthday boy Lu Chenyu spoke up, ¡°Cute.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Because the room had central air conditioning, she had taken off her down jacket in the corridor earlier.
At the moment, she was wearing a pink hoodie with a pair of jeans. The hoodie was pink and had a hood with cat ears on either side.
At first nce, she looked exceptionally youthful.
Then looking at Huo Jingshen, he was dressed in a mature style ¨C a dark-colored woolen sweater with a white shirt underneath, neatly pressed ck trousers. Although he was holding their coats, he appeared as a mature and steady middle-aged man.
Then, Nangong Ci added, ¡°Big brother, you standing next to sister Wanwan makes you look like her dad!¡±
Su Wanwan again, ¡°Pfft!¡±
As for Huo Jingshen, his brows furrowed and his face darkened, ¡°What did you call her?¡±
¡°Oh, sister-inw.¡± Nangong Ci quickly corrected himself.
Bloody hell.
This sister-inw looked so young, he just couldn¡¯t help but call her ¡®sis¡¯. Desperate to change the topic, he said, ¡°Alright, now that everyone¡¯s here, let¡¯s start with the cake blowing and wish-making.¡±
Then, he took from the table next to him a box, ¡°Lu, don¡¯t say I don¡¯t care about you, this cake was custom-ordered by myself.¡±
As he took off the lid.
Su Wenwen almostughed till she fell to the ground.
It was a fondant cake, the picture on it was surprisingly of Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang.
Both wearing the same model of¡ square-cut swimsuits? And they were also holding hands, smiling to the point of showing their white teeth¡
In short, it was utterly embarrassing to look at!
¡®¡öouch, second brother, don¡¯t hit me¡ it hurts, hurts, hurts! Second brother, let go ¡± Nangong Ci was already held down on the couch by Chu Xiuhuang. Both his arms were turned back at ny degrees, and his handsome face was beet red from the pain.
Lu Chenyu, on the other hand, seemed to be quite calm. He even picked up the candle and stuck it into the cake.
He lit it himself.
He blew it out himself.
And then¡
He put his palms together and made his birthday wish.
It was simply too weird.
It was Su Wanwan¡¯s first time witnessing such a birthday celebration¡ Nangong Ci finally escaped with the help of Ming Jing from the side. -If you fucking spread out these photos again, I will fucking kill you!¡± Chu Xiuhuang kicked at him again.
Nangong Ci hurriedly exined with his face red, ¡°I found this photo in a Fire
Emperor fan group.¡±
¡°You fucking sneaked into my fan group?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s sharp phoenix eyes squinted, looking particrly dangerous.
Nangong Ci said with a chuckling smile, ¡°I am your loyal die-hard fan, second brother, you cannot treat me like this.¡±
Su Wanwan casually picked up her phone.
She searched for Chu Xiuhuang and indeed found his Weibo ount. She then looked at his fan count.
My god!
Over thirty million fans?
When she clicked into the super topicmunity, the poprity was incredibly high. There were many fangirl posts, including ones about him and Lu Chenyu¡¯s fan fiction.
The fan couple¡¯s name was¡ Huangchen PK?
Is it a pun on ¡°PK in the imperial city¡±?
Before Su Wanwan could finish reading, her phone was suddenly seized by a beautiful big hand.
She was flustered, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Huo Jingshen took the phone, his slender finger swiped, and he turned off and uninstalled Weibo, ¡°Don¡¯t look at these vulgar and unhealthy things.¡± Su Wanwan coughed twice and looked at the birthday boy who was calmly enjoying his cake on one side. She couldn¡¯t help but ask him, ¡°Isn¡¯t this Lu Chenyu¡actually a¡ gay, right?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Yes?
Is this¡ a confirmation?
Holy shit!
Even though he is not as handsome as my husband, Lu Chenyu still has handsome features. He is even awyer and a high-IQelite man. But he actually has that kind of preference!
What a pity!
And Chu Xiuhuang always has different girls at his side, could it be¡ he swings both ways?
No wonder Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t bring a femalepanion at Lu Chenyu¡¯s birthday party today, so it¡¯s because¡
It seemed like she discovered a massive secret¡
Su Wenwen was excited by her discovery.
Looking at the two of them sitting together and talking, they seemed to match each other more and more.
Chu Xiuhuang was seductively domineering, and Lu Chenyu was silent and absolutely emotionless.
She suddenly understood the fanaticism of those couple ship fans¡
**
The food and drinks had been served. Huo Jingshen went outside to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he found his little girl holding a bottle of beer, drinking whileughing silly.
-What are youughing at?¡± a deep, maic male voice suddenly sounded.
Su Wanwan quickly came back to her senses.
As Huo Jingshen looked at her, she was wearing a pink sweatshirt, and even though she had removed the hood, she still looked incredibly young.
Just like a high school student.
But her holding the beer seemed somewhat out of ce¡
Thinking of Nangong Ci¡¯s words earlier, he softly said, ¡°Baby.¡± ¡°What?¡± Su Wenwen hurriedly put down her beer and moved away a bit from the edge of the sofa.
They were still in the private room and although they were sitting in the corner of the sofa and the room was quite big¡
There were only a few people in the room, but those ying cards on the other side just needed to turn around to see their position.
Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle.
The distance between them was nothing more than a centimetre, or¡ just a few millimetres.
Su Wanwan held her breath, feeling as though she¡¯d beenpletely enveloped by his presence.
He probably had a smoke while answering the phone call. There was a faint smell of cigarettes.
The man¡¯s deep voice was as if ying a cello, softly maizing, ¡°To ensure you can concentrate on your exams, how many days has your husband not seen you for, can you still count them?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Cough,cough.
She had lost count.
Huo Jingshen grabbed her hand and slowly leaned over.
The voices of those ying cards in the distance vaguely came over.
-Six sixes! I have six sixes ha ha ha ha ha¡ who can beat me?¡±
¡°Nangong, you¡¯re fucking cheating, aren¡¯t you?
¡°What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person? ¡°Well, looking at you, you don¡¯t really have the brain for it.
¡°Damn it, I¡¯m not going to take that¡¡±
¡öI 11
Suddenly.
¡°Holy shit! Big brother, what are you two doing?¡±
A man with no sense of timing spoke up.
It was Nangong Ci.
Huo Jingshen heard the sound and looked at him askance.
He looked at him silently but oppressively.
Nangong Ci blinked his peach blossom eyes for a few seconds, then turned his head away.
For goodness sakes, unting their love in front of so many single guys in the room¡
Even if they¡¯ve been found out, they¡¯re still so cocky?
It was as if he, the discoverer, did something wrong?
Was it his fault for interrupting them?
Su Wanwan had already stood up, ¡°Sorry, I have to go to the restroom.¡±
Huo Jingshen;
Everyone else:
Chapter 371: 371, CP is giving out candies
Chapter 371: CP is giving out candies
Women¡¯s restrooms.
Su Wanwan tidied up herself and checked herself in the mirror before finally stepping out the door.
She followed the signs down the dim, secluded hallway, only to find upon opening the door, that she recognized none of the people in the room.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Oops.
She had walked into the wrong room.
Su Wanwan immediately closed the door and turned around, pacing back and forth in the hallway, but she just couldn¡¯t find her original room.
She was in such a hurry to leave earlier that she didn¡¯t remember the name of the room, and she didn¡¯t have her phone on her¡
This is bad.
She was lost.
While she was stuck in an awkward dilemma, she saw a familiar figure appear
in front.
?j
It was Xiao Yebai.
As usual, he was wearing all ck with thin-rimmed oval sses. He appeared cool, schrly, and clear-cut ¨C as if devoid of any warmth. But beside him¡
There was a woman?
The two disappeared around a corner in front, and Su Wanwan hurriedly followed after them.
The soft, dark carpet muffled her footstepspletely, and she heard the soft conversation between the two.
¡°Yebai, I really can¡¯t thank you enough for your help this time. I don¡¯t know what I would have done without you.¡±
¡°It was nothing, no need to be so polite.¡±
¡°But, I feel so bad for taking such a long time of yours that day. Did your wife not me you when you got home?¡±
Wife?
Su Wanwan perked up her ears.
She heard Xiao Yebai say, ¡°She¡¯s busy with her final exams right now.¡± The woman chuckled, her voice as soft and pleasant as the trilling of a nightingale. ¡°I heard about your marriage when I was in America. I thought it was a joke at first. I never thought you would¡¡±
They entered a private room, and Su Wanwan could no longer hear the conversation.
The woman was slender and pretty. Under her id mini skirt were straight slender legs in ck stockings, and her shoulder-length curly hair was fluffy and stylish. She had dimples when she smiled and emitted an aura of a chic urban officedy.
As far as Su Wanwan could remember, besides Mo Weiyi and Xiao Zhiwei, this was the first time she saw another woman by Xiao Yebai¡¯s side.
What¡¯s more, his tone was quite gentle.
Her instincts as a woman hinted that something was off, especially considering how cold Xiao Yebai usually was, even to her.
She had heard from Mo Weiyi before that due to the requirements set by her, Mo Family basically had no female employees under the age of thirty.
Seeing the firmly shut door of the private room, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but let her imagination run wild.
Could there be only the two of them in the room?
Did he deliberately set an impossible goal for Mo Weiyi, so she would spend all day studying at school, while he sneaked out to have affairs with other women?
Damn!
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. She quickly took a step forward and was about to push the door open when arge hand suddenly held hers back.
At the same time, a deep, familiar voice sounded in her ears, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Su Wanwan quickly said, ¡°I saw Xiao Yebai go in.¡±
Xiao Yebai?
Huo Jingshen slightly raised his eyebrows, ¡°So?¡±
¡± He¡¯ s with a woman. I want to catch them in the act!¡± Su Wanwan said
seriously.
Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, took her arm and led her back to their room.
¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t pull me, hey!¡±
But no matter how much Su Wanwan struggled, she was no match for him. He took her back to the room.
As soon as they opened the door, they heard a man reciting words into a microphone.
[Their strength, their dreams, only they understand their hardships, unable to return to the past or see the future, it¡¯s all so empty¡]
He was indeed reciting into the microphone.
With a deadpan expression, he read word for word following the big screen.
It was originally a rap song with a strong rhythm, but Lu Chenyu turned it into
a recital.
On the sofa, Nangong Ci and Ming Jing wereughing hysterically, not forgetting to record a video with their phones.
Hearing the noise, Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face darkened even further.
But after all, he was the birthday boy today, so he didn¡¯t say anything and sat down with Su Wanwan.
Lu Chenyu finally finished a long verse, and Chu Xiuhuang who was sitting next to him picked up the microphone.
[I drift towards the north, don¡¯t ask about my hometown, ancient towering walls can¡¯t hold back sorrow, I drift towards the north¡]
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice was low and rich, and when he sang, it was even more maic and mellow, surprisingly pleasing to the ear.
After the two finished singing, the short video was posted on their Weibo Super Topic.
Su Wanwan found her phone and opened Weibo to take a look.
The post was made by a user called ¡°Brother Aci¡±, and sure enough, the female fans below had gone crazy!
¡± Ahhh another day with a sugar dose from the Xiuhuang-Chenyu CP!
¡°Did you see the veins popping in Brother Fire Emperor¡¯s neck? They are so attractive! Even his veins are attractive!¡±
¡°Little Yuyu can actually rap, what a gem of a boy!¡± ¡°Ahhh the high notes from Brother Fire Emperor are so good!¡± ¡°I beg for Xiuhuang-Chenyu to release a single!¡±
Su Wanwan was about to dieughing.
She immediately hit the follow button. ¡°Sister-inw, do you want to sing a duet with my brother? Ming Jing suddenly handed over the microphone. ¡°What do you want to sing? I can help you select it.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at Huo Jingshen, ¡°Can you sing?
¡°No.¡± Huo Jingshen refused directly.
¡°Uh¡¡±
¡°Sing this one, sing this!¡± Nangong Ci shouted.
The big screen was just ying ¡°Learn Cat Call¡±.
So Su Wanwan took the microphone and started singing.
[Let¡¯s learn cat call together, meow meow meow together, acting cute in front of you, hey meow meow meow¡]
When it came to the male part, Nangong Ci immediately took over.
[I need your hug every day, I cherish every minute and second we are together, how important you are to me¡]
Huo Jingshen was sitting on the side, his face as ck as the bottom of a pot. Finally, after the song was over, Ming Jing was pping his hands heartily, ¡°Nice, nice, nice!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang on the side also raised an eyebrow, ¡°Except for the male voice being a bit disgusting, the whole song is perfect!¡±
Nangong Ci rolled his eyes: ¡°¡¡±
Even Lu Chenyu nodded, ¡°Not bad.¡±
So Nangong Ci immediately cheered up, ¡°Sister-inw, let¡¯s sing this one.
Chen Keyu¡¯s ¡°Umon Words¡±.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°I¡¯ll sing the beginning.¡±
Nangong Ci again: ¡°¡¡±
The music began.
Su Wenwen sang, ¡°Our Chinese characters, written down, they be a collection of art, leaving a history of five thousand years¡¡¯
It was Nangong Ci¡¯stum.
¡°¡ Demons, ghosts, standing alone, sharing the same breath, walking alone, pouring over the finest teachings¡¡±
¡°Hahahaha¡¡± Everyone wasughing uproariously, Su Wanwan wasughing so hard her shoulders were shaking, only Huo Jingshen¡.
His face was as ck as a Bao Zheng, as if he was isted.
Generation gap!
Do you have it or not!
After finishing the second song, Nangong Ci was energized, ¡°Sister-inw, let¡¯s sing this one.¡±
¡°More than just like¡±.
Su Wanwan started singing, ¡°You know that my feelings for you are more than just like, but I can¡¯t find the answer I want in your eyes, this touch-and-go situation drives me crazy¡¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
He suddenly remembered that this song was the background music of the short video Su Wanwan and Ye Qitian madest time.
When it came to the chorus, Nangong Ci raised the microphone, ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say¡ hey, big brother, what are you doing! I haven¡¯t even started singing yet, big brother¡¡±
Huo Jingshen had pulled Su Wanwan up and started to walk out.
¡°My phone, clothes, and bag!¡± Su Wenwen called out.
Huo Jingshen stopped, his voice was low and cold, Bring all of it. Ming Jing hurriedly ran to grab the things and hand them over. Huo Jingshen took them, leading Su Wanwan out like the wind.
*
*
In the corridor, Su Wenwen kept grumbling all the way.
¡°I haven¡¯t finished singing yet!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you say I should go out and rx?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t had much to drink yet!¡±
¡°Really!¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t even said goodbye to the birthday person¡ Ah!
Su Wanwan just arrived at the car, almost not reacting in time, the back door of the car was opened, she was pushed in, and her vision went ck.
The car door closed, other misceneous things were thrown forward haphazardly.
¡°You bastard, what are you doing¡¡±
¡°Speak, keep speaking.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and stopped talking.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡±
Uh¡
Su Wanwan felt her scalp tingle and quickly said, ¡°I won¡¯t speak anymore, get up quickly, be careful if someone sees!¡±
They were still on the public road outside, even though it was already dark, but what if they were seen by someone?
¡°They can¡¯t see inside from the outside.¡± Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Try to make me angry again.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
How did she make him angry in the first ce?
But seeing the dangerous little green light in someone s eyes¡
She forced herself not to talkback any more.
Huo Jingshen got out of the car and moved to the driver¡¯s seat.
The ck Mu Shang slowly pulled away.
Not long after, the phone rang suddenly.
Su Wanwan took a look.
It was actually Nangong Ci who called, had he left something in the box?
She quickly answered, ¡°Hello.¡±
Chapter 372: 372, license plate number
Chapter 372: license te number
¡°Little sister-inw.¡± Nangong Ci chuckled on the other end, ¡°What were you and big brother up to in the back seat?¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback, ¡°What back seat?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t y dumb with me, I saw it with my own eyes. I recognized big brother¡¯s license te number clearly, N696969, a ck Bentley.¡±
Su Wanwan:
¡°Hehehe.¡± Nangong Ciughed wickedly, ¡°Could it be that you two were¡ But that¡¯s strange, it hasn¡¯t been that long. Is big brother really that impatient¡¡±
Without letting him finish, Su Wanwan quickly hung up, ring furiously at the man driving.
Needless to say, Huo Jingshen noticed, although he didn¡¯t lookback.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Nangong Ci saw us just now!¡± Su Wanwan ground her teeth, ¡°How ami supposed to face your brothers now?¡±
Given how big Nangong Ci¡¯s mouth was, he was surely gossiping with his other friends by now.
It¡¯s so embarrassing!
It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Su Wanwan felt utterly disgraced, even though they hadn¡¯t actually done anything wrong, but¡
The fear of public opinion is real!
Her phone rang again.
It was Nangong Ci again.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t want to pick up and quickly hung up.
However, he kept calling back.
He kept ringing non-stop.
At a red light, Huo Jingshen stopped the car and calmly reached out, ¡°Give it to me.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly passed her phone to Huo Jingshen.
As soon as Huo Jingshen answered, he could hear Nangong Ci casually saying, ¡°Little sister-inw, I really pity you. Seriously, what¡¯s up with big brother? Couldn¡¯t he have waited? It¡¯s noteven nine o¡¯clock and he¡¯s dragging you out for a car ride. Simply outrageous hehehe¡¡±
¡°Are you done?¡± A chilling voice made the phone suddenly go silent.
¡°Continue.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was cold.
But how would Nangong Ci dare to continue?
By now, the green light was on. Huo Jingshen, narrowing his eyes, said, ¡°Seems like you¡¯re asking to be kicked off the board.¡±
¡°No, big brother!¡± Nangong Ci finally spoke, ¡°Big brother, the light¡¯s green, you should start driving.¡±
His eyebrow twitched, Huo Jingshen quickly looked up at the rearview mirror.
Sure enough, a shy red sports car was parked not far behind.
It was Nangong Ci¡¯s Ferrari.
¡°Get lost!¡± Having said that, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone.
As his car moved out, he quickly dialed another number.
*
*
Nangong Ci drove his sports car, asionally checking WeChat.
Because a heart surgery was scheduled for 10 o¡¯clock the next morning, about 10 minutes after Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan left, he also left the club.
Who knew that as soon as he got to the roadside, he saw that ck Mu Shang still there.
Since it was parked right next to his beloved car, Nangong Ci was puzzled. It¡¯s been 10 minutes, why is the car still there? What are they up to?
Moreover, he couldn¡¯t see inside Huo Jingshen¡¯s car anymore since it had been tinted, unlike before.
So Nangong Ci sneakily waited behind for a while and¡
He really did see something!
As he saw Huo Jingshen, looking flustered,ing out of the back door and, for a split second as the door closed, he noticed a pair of women¡¯s feet on the car seat¡
Those were the white UGG snow boots that Su Wanwan was wearing.
He immediately took out his phone and shared a short video in the group.
Once Huo Jingshen¡¯s car drove off, he quickly got into his sports car and followed closely.
Indeed, the WJY group chat was blowing up.
Nangong Ci: [What do you think they were doing in the back seat?]
Behind it was a sneaky emoji.
MingJing: [¡]
Lu Chenyu: [¡]
ChuXiuhuang: [¡]
Nangong Ci: [I calcted the time, they were only there for 10 minutes.]
Chu Xiuhuang: [A legendary quick shot?]
MingJing: [Pff!]
Lu Chenyu: [The world is going downhill!]
Chu Xiuhuang: [Worse than beasts!]
Lu Chenyu: [Worse than pigs and dogs!]
Chu Xiuhuang: [Simply not human!]
After all, the group only had men, and they were all close, and while Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t check the group often, it was a great opportunity to tarnish his reputation¡
Just as Nangong Ci was chuckling, unexpectedly, his phone rang.
When he saw the caller ID, hurriedly, he answered, ¡°Grandma?¡±
¡°Aci, have you been racing again?¡±
¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡±
¡°Really? Just now Jingshen called and told me you were racing, with a woman in the car. Quickly tell grandma, what¡¯s her name? How old is she? What does she do? What¡¯s her family situation? What stage are you two at? When are you going to bring her home for dinner?¡±
NangongCi: ¡°¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re not exactly young anymore, almost twenty-seven. At your age, your dad was already running errands for your grandfather. You need to step it up, make it quick. Bring your girlfriend home these next few days to meet me,¡±
Nangong Ci gave no response.
After finally soothing the olddy, half an hour had already passed.
This caused Nangong Ci¡¯s handsome face to twitch uncontrobly.
They even went behind his back to gossip!
How shameless!
*
*
The room on the eighth floor.
Not long after Nangong Ci left, Ming Jing also took off.
Only Chu Xiuhuang and Lu Chenyu remained in the room.
Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t mind, he continued drinking.
Anyway, every time he drank, only Lu Chenyu would apany him to the end.
Even though Chenyu spoke little and drank less, for the most part, it was Xiuhuang drinking alone. But the two of them could sit together for a whole night, just like now.
The night was cool, and the room was tranquil.
Finally, when it was midnight, Lu Chenyu broke the silence.
¡°Your birthday has passed.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang opened his bloodshot eyes, tinted with alcohol, he seemed somewhat drunk.
Lu Chenyu picked up his phone and dialed a number, ¡°Jidu Club, room 802.¡±
After hanging up, he rose to his feet, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
After a while, the room¡¯s door was knocked twice before being opened.
Shi Huan stood at the entrance, looking around the spacious room. As she noted that only Chu Xiuhuang was in it, she walked in without hesitation.
¡°Mr. Chu.¡±
Since it was indoors, Chu Xiuhuang was wearing a thin ck sweater and a pair of slim ck pants. He was sitting on the sofa, his head slumped against the back of the chair, looking defeated and drowsy,
As if he had drunk himself into oblivion.
Shi Huan approached and her gaze inevitablynded on his face.
His eyes were thin and phoenix-like, eyebrows arched at the ends, his nose high and straight like a fine carving, almost perfect.
His face, when in rest, was picturesque, like a mesmerizing male protagonist in an animated series she was fond of when she was a young girl. It was so good-looking as if defying scrutiny.
But s¡
When he was awake, he was nothing like that.
¡°Mr. Chu? Are you drunk?¡± Shi Huan raised her voice.
Chu Xiuhuang finally begrudged to open his thin, long eyes.
When he saw the small woman standing in front of him, his thin lips curled, his whole face gleaming, like colorful light, ¡°Little Huanhuan, you came to get me.¡±
He cast a nce around him, ¡°Where¡¯s Fourth Brother?¡±
¡°He left.¡± Shi Huan queried, ¡°Can you get up by yourself?¡±
¡°Do you think¡ I can?¡± Chu Xiuhuang countered.
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
From his voice, he didn¡¯t sound drunk at all.
But all she could do was to reach for his arm to pull him up.
Shi Huan swayed for a while, then finally¡
¡°Ah!¡±
A part of her leg got propped by something, and she immediately fell backward.
Chu Xiuhuang fell back as well.
So then¡
¡°Ouch!¡± Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but cry out in pain again.
She felt like swearing!
Because Chu Xiuhuang was way too heavy!
She felt as though she was about to stop breathing¡
Just so happened, it was ¡°that¡± time of the month for her, females usually don¡¯t feel well during this time. With his weight of over a hundred pounds weighing straight down, she was in unbearable pain.
After catching her breath for a while, Shi Huan finally said, ¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re drunk. I need you to get up so I can find a waiter for assistance.¡±
She didn¡¯t have the strength to lift him up.
In the past, whenever he was drunk, waitstaff would usually be asked to help.
To her surprise, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly pulled a strand of her hair, and said hazily, ¡°It¡¯s wet.¡±
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°I was washing my hair at home. As soon as I finished, I came right away to pick you up.¡±
She received Lu Chenyu¡¯scall halfway when she was washing her hair, and she rushed over immediately.
Chu Xiuhuang chuckled.
Suddenly, he moved closer towards her face and sniffed, like a small puppy.
Then, he sniffed once more.
¡°Nice fragrance.¡±
At his words, Shi Huan frowned even more, ¡°Mr. Chu, can you get up first?¡±
She stretched her hand out to push him but found him immovable.
Instead, she tired herself out.
Shi Huan panted, gathering all her strength for a big push, when suddenly the man¡¯s face moved straight towards hers¡
Stunned by the suddenness, Shi Huan gasped in surprise.

Chapter 373: Secretary during the Year of the Rabbit
The next day, Huangyou made an investment.
Around eleven o¡¯clock noon, assistant Xiaoliu nced at the time and came over, ¡°Sister Shi, the weather is great outside today. Let¡¯s go to New World for y pot rice. Today¡¯s daily soup seems to be ck chicken soup, it seems to be on sale.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Shi Huan turned off her document and stood up.
¡°I¡¯ming too!¡±
¡°And me.¡±
¡°Together together.¡±
Everyone grabbed their coats and walked out of the secretarial room. The few of them who had just graduated from college were female students.
They walked and discussed the ever-popr topic of male idols.
¡°I think Luo Yunxi is so handsome!¡±
¡°1 like Deng Lun, his skin is very white, the kind of white that shines!
¡°What¡¯s your taste, my Zhu Yilong is the most handsome!
¡°Zhu Yilong looks so charming when he wears sses, doesn¡¯t he!
¡°Yes, yes, Hove him best in ¡®Guardian¡¯!¡±
¡°A Guardian girl too? Me too, me too¡¡±
Shi Huan didn¡¯t recognize any of these male celebrities¡¯ names.
She walked at the front of the line, looking down at her phone, preparing to ask
Luoluo if her health was better.
The weather recently suddenly turned cold, and the little one got a morous cold yesterday, sneezing while dressing in the morning.
¡°Young Master Chu!¡±
Hearing this name, Shi Huan quickly looked up.
Everyone else also greeted one after another.
¡°Young Master Chu.¡±
¡°Young Master Chu, good noon!¡±
¡°Hello, Young Master Chu.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang stood in the bright corridor.
He should just have arrived at thepany, wearing a fine ck coat, with his long legs straight and upright.
No different from his usual, still impable, handsome, and attractive,
except¡
Seeing that obvious bite mark on his pretty lower lip, Shi Huan¡¯s heart ¡°thumped¡±.
The rest of the colleagues naturally saw it too, but dared not ask.
Each suspected it must be the work of some little demon.
¡°Sister Shi.¡± Xiaoliu nudged Shi Huan¡¯s arm, whispering to remind, ¡°Call him quickly.¡±
Shi Huan regained herposure, nodded busily and greeted, ¡°Good noon,
Young Master Chu.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s sharp eyes narrowed and fell directly on her face.
She held a long ck down jacket in her hand, and was wearing an unchanged ck suit throughout the year.
Still the same shoulder-length hair and a pair of ck-rimmed ssesrge enough to cover half of her fair face.
Everyone was a bit nervous.
Young Master Chu may not have a great temper, but he rarely behaves so childishly, blocking the hallway with such a dark face and not speaking.
What¡¯s going on?
Shi Huan was also made uneasy by his stare. She squeezed her fingers and could only speak first, ¡°Young Master Chu, we¡¯re going downstairs for lunch.¡±
After saying this, she took a step forward.
Who knew that when she reached him, Chu Xiuhuang still stood blocking the way without moving.
The nervousness on everyone¡¯s faces increased.
Then-
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s thin lips finally parted, ¡°The boss hasn¡¯t eaten yet, and you subordinates are hasty to go downstairs, is this appropriate?
Shi Huan was taken aback.
The others quickly reacted:
¡°Sister Shi, we¡¯ll go first.¡±
¡°Yeah, Sister Shi, what do you want to eat? We can get it for you.
¡°Or just let me knowter on WeChat.¡±
¡°Bye, Sister Shi.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang slightly moved his body, the others immediately passed him,
and then hurried into the elevator.
The moment the door closed, the elevator was filled with chatter.
¡°Secretary Shi has it tough!¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t Young Master Chu too strict with her?¡±
¡°He won¡¯t let her go to lunch, and she has to help him order takeaways first!¡± ¡°So pitiful, even with a high sry, I wouldn¡¯t want to be Secretary Shi!
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s just continue being assistants. It¡¯s easier.
*
*
In the hallway, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his chin, striding towards the office with
his long, straight legs.
Shi Huan quickly furrowed her brows and had no choice but to follow him. Reaching the office, Chu Xiuhuang took off his coat and carelessly threw it onto the sofa.
Sinking into the boss chair, he crossed one leg over the other.
So when Shi Huan came in, she saw Chu Xiuhuang dangerously seated behind the ck office desk, half-closing his eyes, just staring at her.
¡°Chu what do you want for lunch?¡± Shi Huan behaved as if she hadn¡¯t noticed his anger, taking out her phone to start work, ¡°The steak set from Dihong or one from Jinsheng¡¡±
¡°My mouth hurts.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t I just bump into youst night? Is it necessary to bite me like this, huh? Secretary Shi, are you a dog? I thought you were born in the year of the rabbit?
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± Shi Huan put down her phone, neither servile nor overbearing, her voice rigid and formal, ¡°I¡¯m sorry,st night was my fault.¡± Her good attitude slightly eased the anger in Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyes, but¡
¡°Is sorry enough? Do you realize, you are the first woman in the world to dare bite my lips!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang, tapping the desk with his fingers making ¡°tok tok tok¡± sounds, showing his dissatisfaction, ¡°And, you left me in the private roomst night!¡± ¡°Since Mr. Chu is in the office now, it means that you made it home safelyst night.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fist in anger.
Last night was his best buddy¡¯s birthday. He got carried away and drank a little too much.
Then Shi Huan came to pick him up from the private room, and somehow both of them ended up on the sofa.
At the time, he seemed to smell a familiar scent. It was like a mix of citrus and floral, light, sweet, with a touch of mystery¡
He didn¡¯t know what happened to him. At that moment, he just saw her talking non-stop, without any lipstick on¡
The second their lips made contact, the woman began struggling with all her might.
Of course he wouldn¡¯t let go, so he fought back just as stubbornly.
And then¡
She bit him.
She bit him damn hard.
His mouth hurt instantly, blood flowing out, the taste of iron sobrietying up his drunkenness.
When he realized the woman was his secretary Shi, he immediately jumped off the sofa, only for¡
This damned woman to run away without looking back!
Making him feel like some kind of monster¡
Thinking aboutst night, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s devilishly attractive eyes darkened a little more.
After some thought, he asked in a deep voice, ¡°You reacted so intensely, could it be becausest night was your first time? As in¡your first kiss??¡± Shi Huan, still expressionless, seemed disturbed only briefly. Then she continued with her emotionless answer, ¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re overthinking it. , Although I don¡¯t have as much romantic experience as you,st night wasn¡¯t my first.¡±
If she hadn¡¯t said that, Chu Xiuhuang would have been less annoyed. Now he got up from his chair and mmed his long leg on the carpet, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t, then why the hell did you resist so much? Do you knowyou caused my lip to bleed.¡±
Shi Huan:
Two secondster, she lowered her head, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Chu, would you like me to get a band-aid for you?¡±
¡°No! Need!¡± Chu Xiuhuang red at her, grinding his teeth, ¡°I want you to look at my bitten lip every day and regret the mistake you made!¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Starting from today, I¡¯lle to the office at nine in the morning and leave at five in the afternoon. I¡¯ll attend all thepany meetings, and you¡¡± He pointed at Shi Huan, ¡°You must look at me every day and repent in your heart.¡±
Shi Huan once again:¡±¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s on the agenda this afternoon?¡± Chu Xiuhuang changed the subject.
Shi Huan quickly gathered her thoughts and answered, ¡°At two o¡¯clock, there¡¯s a financial department meeting aboutst month¡¯s fund flow. At three, it¡¯s training for new secretaries. At four, we¡¯re discussing the propertyunch with HuoYuan¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go to HuoYuan with you at four.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Shi Huan looked at him, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you have any other instructions?¡±
¡°Get me some food.¡± Chu Xiuhuang enunciated every word, ¡°I want the same thing as you.¡±
¡°Sure, Mr. Chu, I¡¯ll go downstairs now to get your lunch personally.¡± After finishing, Shi Huan turned and left.
When the door closed, Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone.
But just after reading a piece of news, he began to think aboutst night in the private room again.
Who would¡¯ve thought¡
This Shi Huan, while appearing so drab and boring on the outside, tasted quite sweet¡
With a bang, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly put his phone back on the desk.
He lowered his head.
The long, narrow eyes of his showed a moment of shock.
Damn!
It must¡¯ve been too long since he wasst with a woman!
Chapter 374: 374, Forced to conduct business to make a
Chapter 374: Forced to conduct business to make a
living
It was past three in the afternoon when Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan left thepany, one after the other.
Upon reaching the underground parking garage, he walked to the car and habitually started to pull on the rear door handle.
He made contact but then let go, instead moving two steps forward, pulled open the car door and took a seat in the passenger seat.
As Shi Huan got into the car, Chu Xiuhuang leaned back onto the seat, one hand supporting his graceful head, and one tapping rhythmically on his long leg, with his eyes slightly closed and said casually, ¡°Secretary Shi, if my big brother asked what happened to my lips when we arrive at Huo Yuan, what should I say?¡±
Shi Huan turned the key in the ignition, ¡°Master Chu, you¡¯re overthinking it, a mature and steady man like Mr. Huo certainly won¡¯t notice anything about your lips.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
*
*
The car smoothly pulled out.
Chu Xiuhuang maintained his original position, his gaze consistently rested on
Shi Huan¡¯s face.
After a while, Shi Huan finally couldn¡¯t help but speak up, ¡°Master Chu, is there something on my face that I didn t clean off?
¡°No.¡± Chu Xiuhuang replied but continued to watch her unwaveringly.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Some time passed again.
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Master Chu, I¡¯m notfortable being watched while I¡¯m
driving.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow and suddenly asked, ¡°What brand
of shampoo do you use?¡±
Shi Huan was taken aback.
¡°Buy me a case of it and send it to my vi tomorrow.¡± Chu Xiuhuang continued, then added, ¡°They should have a men¡¯s version, right?¡±
Shi Huan thought about it, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
¡°How is that possible? All care products have men¡¯s and women¡¯s versions.¡± Chu Xiuhuang thought his secretary was deliberately misleading him. But who knew¡
¡°Master Chu, I use amon brand, not those international ones like you. They don¡¯t separate their versions into men¡¯s or women¡¯s. Also, when I bought it, it was during supermarket promotions- ¨C three bottles for 50 yuan, which could be used for the entire year.¡±
ChuXiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Master Chu, do you still want it?¡±
Shi Huan thought, a man of noble background and great taste in life like Master Chu would want the most expensive and the best of everything. He surely would not appreciate hermon brand products.
She had once apanied him to an antiques market, where an inconspicuous small dish that seemed rather inappropriate for her to dip dumplings in caught his fancy. He didn¡¯t blink an eye in paying five million for it.
How could such a man possibly¡
¡°I want it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Shi Huan almost mmed on the brakes.
She couldn¡¯t understand his thought process.
But since the young master of the Chu family said he wanted it, Shi Huan nodded, ¡°Alright, tonight I¡¯ll go to the supermarket to see if there is any promotional event going on. The price is 50 yuan for 3 bottles, a case is 20 bottles, so it would be¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll transfer you 10,000 yuan.¡±
Shi Huan hurriedly spoke out, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that much.
¡°It¡¯s fine, just remember at next big supermarket sale that your boss is interested.¡± Chu Xiuhuang said half-jokingly.
Shi Huan was struck dumb: ¡°¡Alright.¡±
The prestigious Young Master Chu would actually use cheap shampoo that costs 3 bottles for 50 yuan?
If this were to get out, what would his crazy female fans think?
Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but shiver at the thought.
*
Fourty minutester, at the headquarters of the Huo Yuan Group.
As soon as Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan walked into the
5oth-floor meeting room, they saw the two representatives of Bingo¡¯s creative team already seated.
¡°Master Chu?¡±
Shen Bingbing immediately stood up, her finely drawn eyes locked onto Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face. ¡°Are you personally attending today¡¯s meeting?
She had been coborating with Huangyou for several years, but had not met
Chu Xiuhuang more than three times.
Even when she went to Huangyou for meetings or attended some ceremonial events, Chu Xiuhuang was always elusive.
In truth, although Huangyou was invested and established by Chu Xiuhuang, most of the work was taken care of by Secretary Shi. Secretary Shi was more like the real person in charge of Huangyou. Hence, the habit of having work discussions with Secretary Shi was the norm, never expecting Chu Xiuhuang would personally attend such a minor meeting today.
Upon close inspection, Chu Xiuhuang appeared even more handsome and charming, his facial features subtly soft and gentle.
Mrs Chu was of Chinese-Russian descent, so the Chu family members had a bit of mixed blood, with high cheekbones, slender faces, the same narrow phoenix eyes being the standard for everyone. At first nce, they all naturally possessed a certain nobility.
In the words of the media, Chu Xiuhuang had what people called the ¡°imperial appearance¡±!
Shen Bingbing was so excited that she wanted to shake hands with Chu Xiuhuang.
This would have beenpletely impossible in the past. Chu Xiuhuang was notably hygienic, even femalepanions were not allowed to touch his hands directly, at most they could only arm-link over his clothes. However now¡
Chu Xiuhuang lifted his hand and shook hers gentlemanly.
Meanwhile, his long phoenix eyes nced at Shi Huan.
Years of tacit understanding allowed Shi Huan to suppress her surprise instantly. She stepped forward and whispered, ¡°Bingo¡¯s Creative Director Shen Bingbing.¡±
¡°Director Shen.¡± Chu Xiuhuang separated his thin lips, revealing a slight smile. Shen Bingbing felt as if all the pear trees had blossomed at once, the smile made her world burst into radiant colors and spring-like jubtion.
Her face lit up instantaneously, her eyes filled with ayer of unspoken sentiment, her voiceden with charm, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Mr. Chu would remember me.¡±
This waspletely unexpected and ttering.
¡°Miss Shen, being a capable and beautiful working woman and our longstanding partner at Huangyou, how could I possibly forget?¡± Chu Xiuhuang continued smiling.
As expected, his words tickled Shen Bingbing pink, ¡°Mr. Chu certainly knows howto tter.¡±
¡°No, no, no.¡± Chu Xiuhuang withdrew his hand at the right moment.
Shen Bingbing paused in surprise.
¡°I, Chu Xiuhuang, always tell the truth. I onlypliment women I admire, like¡ Miss Shen.¡±
Shen Bingbing¡¯sughter fluttered uncontrobly, as she was exceedingly delighted.
Watching Chu Xiuhuang take a seat, she went over and sat next to him. She didn¡¯t expect Chu Xiuhuang to be so approachable, talkative, and friendly,pletely different from the rumors.
She had always believed that in Nancheng, among the wealthy families, men like Huo Jingshen, who were handsome and ssy, were the most captivating. But after personally interacting with Chu Xiuhuang today, she suddenly felt that President Huo was somewhat too reserved, always keeping people at arm¡¯s length.
And he was already married.
Byparison, indeed like Chu Xiuhuang, a single noble man, was more attractive to women.
At this time, Shi Huan also found a seat on the other side, opened herptop, she was just about to check the questions she was going to present but was constantly interrupted byughter.
Most of them were the high-spirited, flirty voices of women, asionally apanied by Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s deep and attractive voice.
Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but wrinkle her brow.
Shen Bingbing was twenty-five this year.
If you¡¯re talking about appearance ¨C Nondescript.
If you¡¯ re talking about work ability ¨C Mediocre at best.
If you¡¯ re talking about family wealth ¨C just as ordinary as anyone could be. If she was chosen to be Chu¡¯s femalepanion in the past, he would have found it absolutely banal, why is he so enthusiastic about her today?
Has he be desperate?
Thinking about the kissst night¡
It must be it.
Due to Chu¡¯s old man¡¯s intensive arrangement of blind dates, she indeed hadn t arranged any femalepanions for Chu. Even at Chu¡¯s old man¡¯s birthday banquet, it was her who apanied him.
Shi Huan quickly opened her nner and wrote in delicate handwriting,. ¡°Starting today, make reservations for femalepanions for Mr. Chu.¡± ¡°By the way, Mr. Chu.¡± Shen Bingbing¡¯s voice suddenly rose again, ¡°What happened to your lips?¡±
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Immediately following that, Huo Jingshen walked in first, followed by his special assistant and several key staff members from the operations and nning departments.
¡°Hello, everyone.¡±
Huo Jingshen scanned the room. Finally, his gazended on Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face.
Chu Xiuhuang immediately smiled at him, ¡°Hello, what would you like to ask, brother?¡±
Do you want to ask what happened to my lips?
Come on, ask, ask now!
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. His cold voice smooth and calm, ¡°Has the sun risen from the west today? What are you doing here?¡±
ChuXiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
Damn!
He didn¡¯t want to answer.
Shi Huan, who was nearby, hastily spoke up, ¡°President Huo, since some of the suggestions in the case were proposed by Mr. Chu, he is also here to attend this discussion.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, pulling out his chair to sit down, ¡°I thought Huangyou was going bankrupt.¡±
His underlying meaning was that the boss was forced toe out and scout for work.
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang rolled his eyes in annoyance, ¡°Got bitten by the bunny at home.¡± Huo Jingshen scowled and looked over, other people in the room also confounded.
For a moment, nobody knew why Chu, the young master, would make such ament?
The recently inquisitive Shen Bingbing quickly chimed in cheerfully, ¡°So it was bitten by a bunny.¡±
¡°Yes, the little rabbit at my home is so wild.¡± After Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, he nced intentionally at Shi Huan beside him, ¡°It¡¯s a ck bunny!¡±
Shi Huan:
Chapter 375: 375, so charming and enticing
Chapter 375: so charming and enticing
As the meeting had not yet begun, people from the other side were also making light-hearted conversation.
¡°No wonder they say, even a bunny can bite when cornered.¡±
¡°Turns out, Young Master Chu is just like Boss Huo, they both love having pets¡±
¡°Boss Huo¡¯s German Shepard is called KO, right?¡±
Chu Xiuhuangughed, ¡°Yes, and the name of this little bunny I have at home is Pao Pao.¡±
¡°Pao Pao?¡± Shen Bingbing thought, isn¡¯t that a cute name?
The next second, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice echoed again with a malicious tone, ¡°Yes, I really enjoy ying it at home.¡±
¡®Pffft!
1 Ji Jie burst intoughter as he understood the joke.
The others also¡
¡°cough,cough,cough!¡±
They were struggling to suppress theirughter.
Several women in the room were blushing with embarrassment.
Only Shi Huan maintain a poker face, seemingly immune to it all.
¡°I think you¡¯ll have more fun sleeping at home.¡± Huo Jingshen shot him an icy re.
¡°Nah.¡± Chu Xiuhuang continued the banter, ¡°I think it¡¯s more fun discussing Pao Pao with you, big brother.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Everyone:
A brief silence ensued.
¡°Let¡¯s start.¡± With a handsome face, Huo Jingshen announced stoically.
Only then did Chu Xiuhuang stop poking fun and sit properly.
Just by looking, he seemed serious enough.
Shi Huan didn¡¯t have time to care about anything else, she put all her focus into the meeting.
Today, since Chu Xiuhuang specifically forbade bringing assistants, Shi Huan was required to do all the proposal, discussion, and note-taking work.
After an hour-long meeting, her throat was already hoarse from speaking.
Finally, at the close of the meeting, she picked up the tea in front of her, took several gulps, then got up, ¡°Boss Huo, I will collect all the issues and discuss possible solutions when I return to thepany. By tomorrow morning at thetest, I will send an email to your inbox.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to rush.¡± Huo Jingshen nced at Chu Xiuhuang, ¡°After all, tomorrow is the weekend.¡±
Shi Huan startled, then nodded, ¡°Okay, thank you, Boss Huo.¡±
Huo Jingshen slightly nodded, and left quickly.
Chu Xiuhuang got up and followed.
Shen Bingbing wanted to follow too, but Chu Xiuhuang suddenly stopped and told Shi Huan, ¡°Wait for me in the car.¡±
¡°Alright, Young Master Chu.¡±
Shen Bingbing helplessly followed Shi Huan out.
*
*
Upon entering the office¡
¡°Big bro, quickly, wet wipes, quickly give me wet wipes.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
While Chu Xiuhuang was meticulously wiping his handsome fingers clean with wet wipes, Huo Jingshen spoke in a low tone filled with disdain, ¡°You can leave now.¡±
You came to my office just to clean your fingers?
After Chu Xiuhuang finished wiping his fingers and saw his clean hands resume their previous state, he let out a sign of relief.
Tossing the used wet wipes away, he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Huo Jingshen, his eyes fixed on him.
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
His deep eyes narrowed, his expression growing darker.
Just as he was about to lose his temper¡
¡°Big bro.¡± Chu Xiuhuang broke the silence, ¡°What do you think about¡ office romance?¡±
Huo Jingshen coldly red at him, ¡°Which poor female employee has caught your eye?¡±
Considering Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s flirtatious nature, although he had been behaving for a while due to his blind date, still¡
You can¡¯t change a dog¡¯s eating habits!
Naturally, Huo Jingshen assumed he had taken a liking to a female employee of Huangyou.
As expected.
Chu Xiuhuang admitted, ¡°Indeed, it is a female employee.¡±
But¡
Having a liking for?
No, no, no.
He was just fantasizing that¡¯s all.
Huo Jingshen got up without hesitation, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your personal matters.¡±
¡°But I want to talk about it with you.¡± Chu Xiuhuang licked his lips, ¡°After all, everyone else is a bachelor. Although you don¡¯t have much romance experience, you¡¯ve had many scandals in the past, and you¡¯ve met all sorts of women. Plus you¡¯re married now and have a trophy wife, your experience is just too vast¡ Big bro, where are you going?¡±
Huo Jingshen grabbed his car keys and jacket and said arrogantly, ¡°Picking my wife up from school.¡±
¡°Holy shit, why are you picking her up from school so early?¡±
¡°Taking my wife¡¯s ssmates out for dinner tonight.¡±
¡°Going out to dinner with students?¡± Chu Xiuhuang burst intoughter, ¡°Stop joking, big bro. A 30-year-old CEO like you going out for dinner with female college students? The generation gap is huge, what can you possibly talk about with them? Do you understand what young girls like these days? Don¡¯t scare them off.¡±
¡°A wifeless bachelor like you wouldn¡¯t understand.¡± Huo Jingshen said, nonchntly. He then opened the door and walked out.
Chu Xiuhuang:

*
*
When they reached the underground parking lot, Huo Jingshen coldly drove off, while Chu Xiuhuang walked over to a ck Cayenne car nearby.
He opened the car door and sat in, ¡°Xiaohuan, what do you think of office romance?¡±
Shi Huan didn¡¯t say anything, she simply gestured with her eyes.
By then Shen Bingbing¡¯s sweet voice wasing from the back, ¡°Young Master Chu.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s temples pulsed twice.
Damn it.
Why is this flirty woman still here?
Shen Bingbing sweetly exined, ¡°Something came up at home for one of my subordinates, so I need to return to thepany. That¡¯s why I¡¯m catching a lift with Secretary Shi.¡±
Shi Huan chuckled without humor at her candid lie.
Chu Xiuhuang leaned back casually, ¡°In that case, Secretary Shi, you can first drop Miss Shen off at thepany, then head to my house.¡±
Shen Bingbing was ecstatic, she didn¡¯t think twice about it.
Being a secretary naturally meant catering to all aspects of professional and personal life.
Moreover, Shi Huan was not at all attractive. Her constant old-maid attire of ck suit and ck-framed sses was enough to scare off ny-nine percent of men.
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± swiftly scrolling through her phone, Shen Bingbing asked, ¡°Are you interested in the calligraphy and painting exhibition?¡±
She had quickly performed an online search. The Chu family were renowned for their love of literature, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s twin sister was a famous figure in the world of traditional Chinese painting, and Chu Xiuhuang himself was a double PhD in business and literature.
If she wanted to get closer to Chu Xiuhuang, starting from his areas of interest would be the best¡
¡°Not interested.¡± Chu Xiuhuang rejected coldly.
Shen Bingbing hurriedly continued scrolling, ¡°There seems to be a museum exhibition recently, and a drama performance as well¡¡±
¡°Stop the car.¡± Chu Xiuhuang suddenly spoke up.
Shi Huan immediately pulled over.
Chu Xiuhuang reached out to open the car door and got out directly.
Shen Bingbing was surprised, ¡°Mr. Chu, why are you¡¡±
The car door was mmed shut.
Shi Huan quickly drove off again.
Shen Bingbing was still a bit dumbfounded, ¡°Secretary Shi, why did Mr. Chu suddenly get out of the car?¡±
Shi Huan tone was cid, ¡°Mr. Chu likes to have a drink after finishing his work.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Shen Bingbing felt absolutely deted, ¡°Secretary Shi, Mr. Chu should be at the press conference as well, right?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang had said that he was going to be in the office from nine to five every day recently. Since that was the case, he would definitely participate in importantpany events.
So Shen Bingbing immediately cheered up again.
When she got back to thepany, she practically walked in while humming a tune.
¡°Bingbing, what¡¯s got you so happy?¡±
The one who asked the question was Qiao Zixin.
She had intentionally tried to meet with Huo Jingshenst time, but instead got burnt by cigarette and bitten by a dog on her foot.
Not to mention being scolded by Su Yunrong for a long period, she even took a week off due to the injury and then continually got vinated against dog diseases at the epidemic prevention station. The project with Huo Yuan that she and Shen Bingbing were in charge of was now handled by someone else.
She was a neer, naturally, she didn¡¯t dare to express her opinion too much. Today, Shen Bingbing took another subordinate to see Huo Yuan and she had no means to do anything about it. Seeing Shen Bingbing looking so happy, she could only conclude that something good must have happened during the meeting.
Once Shen Bingbing had put her bag down, she immediately pulled Qiao Zixin all the way to the pantry.
Once the door was closed, she excitedly said, ¡°I saw Mr. Chu today.¡±
¡°Mr. Chu?¡± Qiao Zixin felt disappointed, thinking it was something about Huo Jingshen.
¡°Yes, the eldest young master of the Chu family, he¡¯s really handsome up close, and I want to pursue him.¡± Shen Bingbing eximed excitedly, ¡°For men of his reputation, if there is a problem with the woman, they will easily get her pregnant. As long as I get a chance to sleep with him, wouldn¡¯t the position of the young missus of the Chu family be mine?¡±
Qiao Zixin deliberately poured cold water on her, ¡°Mr. Chu has had so many girlfriends before, but no one has ever entered the Chu family¡¯s door. He¡¯s ruthless when he dumps people and never shows mercy to beauties¡¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Shen Bingbing red at her, ¡°Those are all made up by the media. After interacting with Mr. Chu today, I feel that he¡¯s very approachable. After the meeting ended, he even had his secretary drive me back to thepany.¡±
Qiao Zixin: ¡°¡¡±
¡± If he didn¡¯ t have any feelings for me, why would he be so considerate?¡± Shen Bingbing felt more and more pleased as she thought about it.
As long as she gets a chance, it¡¯s only a matter of time before she enters the Chu family¡¯s door.
Would she still need to go to work every day in the future?
Or even have to please those ugly and old men for the sake of her performance? ¡°Zixin, You¡¯re just too indecisive! If you ask me, aren¡¯t you interested in Mr. Huo? Quickly look for an opportunity to get on him!¡± Shen Bingbing nudged her, hinting non-stop, ¡°Even if he doesn¡¯t want to take responsibility afterward, you¡¯ll still benefit a lot, right? After all, you slept with him, so it will not be a disadvantage for you!¡±
Qiao Zixin: ¡°¡¡±

Elsewhere, Huo Jingshen drove to Nancheng University.
After sending the young girl a WeChat message, he got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and casually leaned against the front of the car to wait.
It was freezing in December. Passersby rushed past, each of them dressed in bloated, heavy cotton jackets, wrapped up like dumplings.
Only he, rxed and casual, wore a ck coat. His tall and upright figure, distinct handsome features, mature and restrained demeanor, coupled with his luxury car¡
Like a natural shining entity, he attracted the gazes and whispers of the passing female students.
Finally, a few girls came out from inside. His dark eyes immediately focused on the one in the middle.
Su Wanwan wore a thick white down jacket that reached her knees, paired with denim jeans and pink snow boots. She wore a red hat and a red scarf, looking a bit cute in her chunkiness.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, immediately triggering a gasp from the girls.
As he walked towards them with his long strides, the whispered discussions became more excited.
¡°Wanwan, your boyfriend is so handsome!¡±
¡°He even drove a luxury car to pick us up!¡±
¡°Oh no, he¡¯sing over.¡±
¡°I¡¯m so nervous!¡±
¡°Is he really inviting us for dinner?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
She had no idea what had gone wrong with Huo Jingshen, suddenly wanting to invite her ssmates for a meal!
They had already agreed that she would spend the next month helping Mo Weiyi study for exams.
While she was in her afternoon study session, he suddenly called, saying he wanted to thank her ssmates for helping clear up the forum postsst time. Please! That incident had already happened a month ago!
Also, because Huo Jingshen had specifically instructed at the time, the disciplinary noticeter issued by the school only said that Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan were punished because of viciously defamatory postings. There was no disclosure of Su Wanwan¡¯s marriage.
There was no news about it in the newspapers either.
So apart from those present that day, the whole school thought Su Wanwan had unjustly been sshed with dirty water and had her reputation restored. They had no clue about the inside story.
Su Wanwan felt this was quite alright. However, from that day onwards, those two girls in her ss started paying herpliments and showing their goodwill.
Other than Mo Weiyi, she didn¡¯t have many friends at school. She couldn¡¯t possibly invite the boys for the meal Huo Jingshen was hosting. Afraid that Zhao Qianqian would feel ufortable alone, she had to include those two girls.
Unexpectedly, the moment they heard about the dinner, they spent the entire afternoon in their dormitory carefully dressing up.
Even though it was freezing today, with the outdoor temperature close to zero, the two wore dresses, heavy makeup, and stilettos, trembling in the cold wind¡
When Huo Jingshen approached, their trembles intensified.
The three girls had little contact with people in society. Huo Jingshen¡¯s powerful identity and standing were obvious. Combined with his aura, their inhibitions¡
All these factors together made them uneasy and wary. They didn¡¯t dare to speak out of turn.
Until¡
¡°Baby.¡±
As Huo Jingshen said this, Su Wanwan¡¯s legs went weak without reason.
The three girls, on the other hand, had their eyes wide open in shock.
What the hell!
Baby?
When Mr. Huo called her that, his tone was deep, maic and gentle, making their hearts flutter. They were publicly disying affection¡
Huo Jingshen had already taken Su Wanwan¡¯s little hand and spoke in a low voice, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to introduce me first, dear?¡±
After a couple of coughs, Su Wanwan had no choice but to raise her hand and introduce her friends one by one, ¡°This is Zhao Qianqian, this is Li Xiaolin, and this is Wu Ying, all ssmates from my ss.¡±
Chapter 376: 376, Yan dog Huo total
Chapter 376: Yan dog Huo total
Huo Jingshen looked around.
Indeed, among the four, his darling was the most beautiful!
The others have no idea that Huo Jing Shen wasparing their looks internally.
Together they greeted, ¡°Hello, Boss Huo.¡±
This was something they had discussed earlier. Given Huo Jing Shen¡¯s formidable credentials and the fact that he was ten years older than them, calling him uncle would be disrespectful, brother would be too crude, so the only option was to call him ¡°Boss Huo.¡±
As expected, Boss Huo was pleased, curling his thin lips, ¡°Darling, what about me?¡±
Su Wenwen had no choice but to say, ¡°This is my husband, Huo Jingshen.¡± ¡°Hello, Boss Huo!¡± the three chimed together again.
This time, even the corners of Huo Jingshen¡¯s mouth curled up, making his voice rather gentle, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside, let¡¯s get in the car first.¡±
Having said that, he led Su Wanwan toward the car by her hand.
The three followed behind, whispering in discussion:
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Boss Huo to be sodown to earth!¡±
¡°I thought all overbearing bosses would be super assertive.¡±
¡°He even said it¡¯s cold outside, rushing us to get in the car.¡±
¡°He is just so rtable¡¡±
**
Huo Jingshen was driving with Su Wanwan sitting in the passenger seat, the three girls squeezed together in the backseat.
Once the car started moving, the three began to chat.
Due to Huo Jingshen¡¯s presence they didn¡¯t dare to be too boisterous, and could only discuss academic and school matters.
First, they talked about the English proficiency test that just took ce yesterday.
Then they discussed preparations for the final exam.
The restaurant was located quite far away, andstly, they started talking about the intern field trip next semester.
¡°I heard Professor Wang saying that they n to take the two sses to Sanya for a field trip this year!¡±
¡°Sanya? Seriously?¡±
¡°I heard they went to Mount Taist year, and it was exhausting. Sanya should be nice, then we can go to the beach!¡±
¡°I need to start losing weight, or else, I wouldn¡¯t be able to wear a bikini by then!¡±
¡°Wow, does that mean we can see the campus hottie in his swimming trunks¡¡±
At the driver¡¯s seat, Huo Jingshen¡¯s slender fingers tightened around the steering wheel, an eyebrow twitching.
The beach?
A bikini?
The campus hottie in swimming trunks?
He felt extremely ufortable hearing these phrases.
**
They finally reached Xiaoye Garden.
That¡¯s right, the rustic-themed restaurant that Chu Xiuhuang owned.
As soon as they entered, someone came to wee them, ¡°Big Brother.¡±
Then, he looked at Su Wanwan standing beside and greeted her with a conflicted look, ¡°Hello, sister-inw.¡±
This was the first time Chu Shiwu had seen the so-called sister-inw of the Huo family.
The old man, Chu, had mentioned her a few times before, always with a tinge of envy¡ an old buffalo eating young grass!
It turns out that it was indeed true. She was such tender grass, even two years younger than him. If it weren¡¯t for the invisible pressure from Huo Jingshen, Chu Shiwu would have struggled to greet her.
¡°Who are you?¡± Su Wanwan asked, baffled.
Huo Jingshen introduced him, ¡°His name is Chu Shiwu, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s younger brother, and also a senior in your news department.¡±
Wearing a light-colored sweater and jeans, Chu Shiwu was elegant and handsome with sharp features reminiscent of Chu Xiuhuang.
But his personality was more reserved and studious. His smile was radiant and his eyes clear, a model of a proper gentle and good-looking young man.
Su Wanwan thought, this was how the young heir of an aristocratic family should be, unlike Chu Xiuhuang who was too entric¡
¡°You guys can reach out to him for any academic consultation in the future.¡± Huo Jingshen said this to the three girls.
Chu Shiwu could only smile: ¡°¡¡±
He had gone back home during lunch only to run into Huo Jingshen.
After respectfully calling him big brother and answering a few of his questions, he was dragged by Huo Jing Shen to join them for lunch.
He was forced.
Yet Su Wanwan immediately understood¡ It was clear that older men had a better understanding of social etiquette!
He didn¡¯t talk much during the journey, likely because he found it challenging to connect with the three girls. He must have felt uneasy thinking about the forting dinner. She didn¡¯t expect him to be so considerate to invite a young and handsome guy of their age, who also happens to be a news department senior from their university¡ Now they wouldn¡¯t have any problems findingmon topics during dinner.
The dinner turned out to be quite cheerful.
At the end, Chu Shiwu even willingly offered, ¡°I will drive you all back, I need to return to the school to get something.¡±
This was also one of Huo Jing Shen¡¯s requirements.
¡°Yes, yes,¡± the three were naturally overjoyed.
Compared to the mature and deep Boss Huo, they preferred a sunny and handsome young man like Chu Shiwu.
When Chu Shiwu drove off with the three female students, Su Wanwan btedly realized something was off.
Images fromst night started ying on a loop in her mind¡
¡°I¡¯m going back to school!¡± she immediately blurted out.
¡°You shoulde home on weekends.¡±
¡°But I left some stuff in the ssroom.¡±
¡°Ask a ssmate to help get them.¡± After all, she owed him that favor.
Su Wenwen: ¡°¡¡±
Sneaky!
Seeing Su Wanwan still appearing reluctant, Huo Jing Shen said again, ¡°We have a parent-child activity with Ziyang tomorrow.¡±
¡°What kind of parent-child activity?¡±
¡°It¡¯s an autumn outing organized by the school.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it winter now and not autumn?¡±
Huo Jingshen shot her a look, Su Wanwan immediately coughed twice, ¡°Where?¡±
¡°I forgot, I will ask when I get back.¡±
Su Wanwan red at him, ¡°Are you tricking me on purpose?¡±
¡°In your eyes, am I that kind of husband who always tries to trick you intoing home?¡± Huo Jingshen asked with righteous indignation.
¡°Yes.¡± Su Wanwan responded naturally.
Huo Jingshen:
Chapter 377: 377, Home with a Cute Wife
Chapter 377: Home with a Cute Wife
Then, he picked up his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to her, ¡°Ask for yourself.¡±
Su Wanwan took the phone and a cute voice already came from the receiver, ¡°Uncle Huo?¡±
¡°Ziyang, it¡¯s me.¡±
¡°Oh, Auntie, you¡¯re with Uncle Huo.¡±
Even though it was just childish babble, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but feel awkward, ¡°Uh, Ziyang, is there a school event tomorrow?¡±
Fu Ziyang hesitated, ¡°There is an event¡¡±
However, it required both parents to apany him, so he had already told his teacher he would not be participating.
¡°Your Uncle Huo and I will go with you,¡± Su Wanwan quickly said.
¡°Huh?¡± Fu Ziyang seemed unwilling to believe it.
At this moment, Huo Jingshen took the phone, ¡°Ziyang, have Old Liang take you back to Imperial Court first.¡±
He then hung up the phone.
Su Wanwan:
*
*
As for Fu Ziyang over here.
He sighed like an old man after hanging up the phone, stood up and resignedly started packing his little school bag.
¡°Ziyang, have you finished your homework?¡± Mrs. Huo happened to bring a te of cut fruit over.
¡°Grandma, Uncle Huo called me and told me to go home immediately.¡±
¡°Oh? Why?¡± Mrs. Huo frowned immediately, ¡°I have some rib soup simmering in the pot, it¡¯s almost ready.¡±
Fu Ziyang tilted his head, thinking seriously, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s to get Auntie toe home.¡±
Mrs. Huo:
He¡¯s even using a five-year-old child in order to get his wife toe home?
What absolute idiocy!
So when Old Liang drove Fu Ziyang away, Mrs. Huo lifted the phone and severely chastised someone again.
*
*
Imperial Court vi.
Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, and not long after, Fu Ziyang entered with his little backpack.
The driver, Old Liang, followed behind him.
¡°Young Master, I dropped off Little Master for you. I¡¯m going back now.¡±
Huo Jingshen nodded. After Old Liang left, he lifted his hand, patted the little guy¡¯s head, ¡°Did you grow taller again?¡±
Previously only up to his knees, now he seems as tall as his thigh.
¡°I¡¯m already five years old.¡± Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes, cutely looking at him.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
So?
¡°Uncle Huo.¡± Fu Ziyang put down his little bag and said with clear pronunciation, ¡°Dad called me today.¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
¡°Dad said, when the Spring Festivales, he will bring Auntie to visit me.¡± After saying this, Fu Ziyang scrunched his little brow, ¡°Uncle Huo, you know who my mom is, don¡¯t you?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips curved, ¡°Ziyang, your dad will tell you these thingster.¡±
¡°Did my mom marry another man?¡±
Huo Jingshen was taken aback,¡±¡¡±
¡°Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t anyone tell me who she really is?¡± Fu Ziyang was very clear in his logic, ¡°Dad said mom is beautiful and a big star, but I¡¯ve checked out all of China¡¯s current female stars¡¡±
Huo Jingshen felt another shock.
Checked?
¡°I found that none of them really look like me. There is only one that somewhat resembles me, but she is 16 years older than me, so it¡¯s not likely.¡±
He actually understands that much?
Huo Jingshen was left speechless.
¡°Even if my mom has married another man and had other babies, I won¡¯t bother her. I just want to see what she looks like.¡± After saying that, Fu Ziyang picked up his little school bag, ¡°Uncle Huo, I¡¯m going upstairs to sleep.¡±
Huo Jingshen watched the little figure slowly climbing the stairs and suddenly spoke, ¡°Ziyang.¡±
Fu Ziyang turned around.
¡°Get up early tomorrow. Your Uncle Huo and Auntie will take you out.¡±
Fu Ziyang grinned, and puckered up his little mouth, ¡°Okay.¡±
Huo Jingshen smiled, his voice gentle, ¡°Go to sleep.¡±
¡°Goodnight, Uncle Huo.¡±
*

Huo Jingshen made a call to the United Kingdom.
Fu Ziyang was maturing too quickly.
Normally he was quiet and seemed obedient, he wasn¡¯t expected to have thought so much or done so many things in secret.
His future child couldn¡¯t be like this.
After ending the call and returning upstairs, Su Wanwan had juste out from her shower.
Wearing a pink two-piece pajamas, her hair freshly washed and still in a bun at the top of her head, dripping wet.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you dry your hair?¡± Huo Jingshen went into the bathroom to retrieve the hairdryer, ¡°Let hubby help you.¡±
Su Wanwan gave him a look.
Her hair was really long and voluminous, and since there was someone to attend to it, she went over to him.
So Huo Jingshen picked up the hairdryer, turned it to the lowest setting, and had Su Wanwan sit on the sofa with her back to him. Then he gently began to dry his wife¡¯s hair.
At first, Su Wanwan was worried that he would be clumsy and hurt her, but surprisingly, he was pretty skilled.
In no time, lulled by the ¡°whoooool¡± sound of massaging air, which felt like hypnosis, she closed her eyes and leaned back against him, feeling sofortable she was on the edge of falling asleep.
Once her hair was mostly dry, Huo Jingshen suddenly spoke up, ¡°When is your TOEFL score going to be released?¡±
¡°Next February.¡±
¡°When is your final examination?¡±
After thinking for a bit, Su Wanwan replied, ¡°At the end of next month.¡±
That meant spending more than another month preparing for the exam, and presumably that he would have to abstain for more than another month.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows knitted together instantly, and he inadvertently tugged her hair.
¡°Ow!¡± Su Wanwan yelped immediately.
Huo Jingshen hurriedly released his grip.
A headful of fluffy, raven hair was nearly dry. The thick bunch released a gentle, pleasant fragrance with every upward toss.
Huo Jingshen put the hairdryer aside, looking down at the girl who was lying peacefully with her eyes closed.
The cellphone rang on the coffee table.
He picked up the phone and nced at the caller ID, his brows tightened even more, ¡°What do you want?¡±
His tone was sharp.
The other side went quiet for a moment, and then came the voice of Nangong Ci, ¡°Hey, bro, it¡¯s just nine o¡¯clock, why are you in such a rush? Where¡¯s little sister-inw?¡±
¡°She¡¯s preparing for her final exam.¡± He lied through his teeth.
You f*cking bastard!¡± Nangong Ci eximed, ¡°You know, after your phone callst night, my mother hasn¡¯t stopped nagging me for an entire day.¡±
¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°No, invite your little sister-inw toe out for a drink, brother Fu is also here, it¡¯s boring with just men.¡±
¡°No.¡± Huo Jingshen curtly replied, clearly annoyed, before hanging up.
Worried about getting another call, he decided to switch off the phone.
Setting the phone aside, he immediately pulled Su Wanwan into his arms.
He had a warm and charming wife at home while it was freezing outside, why would he go out for a drink?
Of course, the pleasure of proximity with spouses is something those who have been single for thirty years wouldn¡¯t understand.
*

The next morning.
A shrill shriek suddenly echoed from their bedroom, ¡°Ah, what time is it now?¡±
In the warm quilt, the man¡¯s voice was distinctly tinged with theziness of someone who just woke up, ¡°The sun has been up for a while.¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes.
What was with this poetic answer when she only asked what time it was?
After checking the time, Su Wanwan asked with a hint of anger, ¡°Weren¡¯t we supposed to apany Ziyang to his parent-child gathering today? Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±
¡°We¡¯re alreadyte.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The gathering was at nine o¡¯clock in front of the school, and it¡¯s already past ten.¡± Huo Jingshen said confidently, ¡°So, we don¡¯t have to go now.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that wrong?¡± Su Wanwan expressed guilt, ¡°I said on the phonest night that I would take him to the event. It¡¯s not good to lie to kids.¡±
¡°He said he didn¡¯t want to go.¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ziyang is very mature. He will understand Uncle Huo and Auntie need time to sleep.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She could hardly look at Fu Ziyang from now on.
*
*
Fu Ziyang was currently sitting on the living room couch downstairs, exchanging voice messages with Shi Luoluo.
In the end, the little girl asked him, ¡°Fu Ziyang, are you really not going toe to pick strawberries today?¡±
¡°Not going.¡±
¡°But we have a writing assignment on what we did.¡±
Fu Ziyang nced up at the second floor, then said into his phone, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. Uncle Huo and Auntie are still sleeping.¡±
Although he never wanted to participate in such childish activities in the first ce.
Butst night, Huo Jingshen had specifically asked him toe back early and get up early. So, he had been waiting since 8 AM¡
On the other end of the phone, just as Shi Luoluo opened the message sent by Fu Ziyang, Shi Huan showed up carrying a little basket. As a result, she clearly heard this sentence¨C
¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. Uncle Huo and Auntie are still sleeping.¡±
She nced at the time.
It was already 10:40 in the morning and they were still sleeping?
This¡
*
*
Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan didn¡¯te downstairs until noon.
After finishing the lunch prepared by the maids, Huo Jingshen started speaking, ¡°Ziyang, your Auntie was toozy to get out of bed this morning¡¡±
Su Wanwan:
What a jerk, he was the one who couldn¡¯t get enough of her, and now he said she was the one who overslept?
Chapter 378: 378, national goddess, mom?
Chapter 378: national goddess, mom?
¡°So, is it okay if I take you to the amusement park this afternoon?¡±
The moment Huo Jingshen finished speaking, he felt a strong kick under the table from Su Wanwan¡¯s little leg.
She didn¡¯t hold back her strength at all. After kicking him, she red at him fiercely, then turned to Fu Ziyang with a smiling face, saying, ¡°The amusement park is fine, Ziyang, do you want to go somewhere else?¡±
However, Fu Ziyang responded, ¡°Can I not go?¡±
Thinking that the little guy was upset, Su Wanwan quickly apologized, ¡°I m sorry, Ziyang, it was my fault¡ I got upte today. Could you forgive your aunt this time?¡±
Why did she have to take the responsibility for Huo Jingshen¡¯s mistake?
It¡¯s not fair!
Irresistibly, Su Wanwan red at Huo Jingshen again.
With a little pout, Fu Ziyang said, ¡°Then¡ let¡¯s go see a movie.¡±
Go see a movie?
¡°The amusement park is too childish,¡± Fu Ziyang said. ¡°I want to watch The
Overbearing Girl Clings On Me¡¯.¡±
Su Wanwan was taken aback by the thunderous name, ¡°The¡ Overbearing Girl?
Is it a romance movie?¡±
Fu Ziyang nodded his head.
The lead actress is 16 years older than him, and today is the premiere. We might get a chance to see the real actors in person.
¡°Ziyang, this movie is not suitable for you.¡± Su Wanwan hurriedly tried to dissuade him, ¡°You¡¯re still young, don¡¯t rush to know about love¡¡±
¡°Then, I¡¯ll stay at home and do my homework.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
This little guy, what a temper!
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Huo Jingshen made the decision, ¡°If Ziyang wants to watch it, let¡¯s take him to do so.¡±
¡°Thankyou, Uncle Huo.¡± Fu Ziyang gave a slight smile.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Are they both crazy?
*
*
Although Su Wanwan felt that the movie was not suitable for children, since Fu Ziyang was persistent and Huo Jingshen agreed, the three of them made some preparations and headed to the cinema.
Halfway there, Fu Ziyang reminded, ¡°It¡¯s at Global Cinema.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Huo Jingshen instantly recalled their unpleasant experience at the same cinemast time.
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was busy looking up information.
She first found the movie¡¯s introduction and nced at the leading cast.
Lu Zixi?
Why did this name sound familiar?
Then she looked at the poster.
Lu Zixi was wearing a high school uniform, a white top and a blue skirt, tugging at a male actor¡¯s ear, looking cheeky yet cute. The poster featured a school field and ssrooms in the background, making it look like a youthful school-themed idol film.
Finally, she checked the previews and found there weren¡¯t any kissing scenes. Only then was Su Wanwan fully reassured.
*
*
When they arrived at the cinema and were buying tickets, Fu Ziyang spoke again, ¡°Could we get the front row seats?¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
The little guy seemed to be talking quite a bit today.
Having bought the tickets and standing in front of the screening room, Su Wanwan was a bit embarrassed.
Pretty much everyone going to watch this movie was either a young couple or a group of young female students.
It felt quite weird for them to be there with a five-year-old child.
Quite a few young girls kept stealing nces at them, covering their mouths while whispering among themselves. Su Wanwan could only guess at the topic of their gossip¡
Thankfully, the movie started soon, and Su Wanwan quickly led the two boys inside.
Finding their seats, Fu Ziyang asked, ¡°Auntie Wanwan, can I sit on the outside?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Su Wanwan indulged him in every way.
As the lights dimmed and the movie officially began,
at first, Su Wanwan kept her eyes glued to the big screen, but as time wore on, the plot became so boring that she could no longer resist her sleepiness¡
In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep.
As for Huo Jingshen, he kept staring at his phone, after all, with them sitting in the front row and having a minor around, there wasn¡¯t much else they could do¡
Only Fu Ziyang was attentively watching the screen from start to finish.
An hour and a half might be a short time for a movie, but it could also feel quite long.
Surrounded by apuse, Su Wanwan finally woke up.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning, sheined, ¡°Finally, it¡¯s over. Can we go home now?¡±
There was no reply.
Looking to her left, Huo Jingshen wasn¡¯t there.
Turning to her right, Fu Ziyang was also missing.
¡°Now, let¡¯s wee our national goddess Lu Zixi! Zixi sweetheart, please wave to everyone!¡±
The host¡¯s voice echoed through the entire theater. Su Wanwan looked towards the stage, then waspletely stunned.
The stage was already upied by quite a few people, men and women, old and young, all dressed in beautiful clothes, and the host was handing over the microphone to the lead actress standing in the middle.
But that little figure who suddenly ran up¡
Fu Ziyang!
Su Wanwan was so terrified that she felt as if her soul was about to be frightened away. She hurriedly stood up, shouting, ¡°Ziyang, Ziyang! Come down now!¡±
By this time, Fu Ziyang had already run up to Lu Zixi. He raised his head, tilted it slightly, and carefully studied her face.
Showing of her professionalism as the current hottest national sweetheart on screen, even under these circumstances, Lu Zixi kept her sweet smile.
The host, on the other hand, held his microphone and shouted, ¡°Where is this child¡¯s parent? Can the parents pleasee to take him off the stage?
Having no clue where Huo Jingshen had disappeared to, Su Wanwan had no other choice but to sheepishly get up, proceed to hold Fu Ziyang¡¯s little hand, and briskly leave the stage when suddenly¡
¡°Mom!¡±
Fu Ziyang¡¯s clear and child-like voice instantly echoed throughout the entire theater.
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened in shock.
Lu Zixi¡¯s face, which had been graced with a sweet smile, turned stiff.
The other actors on the stage looked surprised, curious, or gossipy¡
The journalists hurriedly shouldered their cameras, while the audiences collectively let out a shocked gasp that nearly lifted the roof off the theater..
Chapter 379: 379, small person, big mind
Chapter 379: small person, big mind
The host reacted the fastest, holding up his microphone and saying, ¡°Kid, hasn¡¯t your mome to get you?¡±
His eyes then signaled for Su Wanwan to quickly take the child away.
Su Wanwan was utterly bbergasted as she pulled Fu Ziyang along, ¡°Ziyang,e down with me quickly.¡±
Who knew that Fu Ziyang would yell out even louder, ¡°Mom, are you my mom?¡±
Lu Zixi just stood there, her almond eyes staring straight at the handsome little boy, her gradually paling face not even fully concealed by her makeup. This reaction set the audience abuzz.
¡°Who is this kid?¡±
¡°Why is he calling Zixi mommy?¡±
¡°Did he confuse her for someone else?¡±
¡°But¡ why do I think he looks a bit like Zixi?¡±
¡°Nonsense, Zixi is only 21 this year, how could she have a child?¡±
¡°Did she lie about her age?¡±
¡°God, what a scandal¡¡±
¡°Impossible! I don¡¯t believe it!¡±
Su Wanwan quickly scooped up the little guy and made a run for it.
Fu Ziyangy in Su Wanwan¡¯s arms, turning his little head around, his big eyes still fixated on Lu Zixi.
Just when they reached the edge of the stage, they were blocked by a group of reporters. A multitude of microphones was thrust their way and the shbulbs wouldn¡¯t stop popping off, as a barrage of questions bombarded them.
¡°Miss, what is your rtionship to this child?¡±
¡°Why is he calling Zixi mommy?¡±
¡°Do you know Zixi?¡±
The scene was chaotic at that moment.
Su Wenwen was surrounded by reporters, unable to break free. She didn¡¯t know how to exin the situation and could only keep repeating, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, he¡¯s just mistaken.¡±
¡°Are you sure he¡¯s just mistaken?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
A mic was suddenly thrust in front of Fu Ziyang.
¡°Little boy, why are you calling Zixi mommy?¡±
¡°Is Zixi really your mom?¡±
¡°Little boy, where is your dad?¡±
¡°Little boy¡¡±
Fu Ziyang mped his mouth shut and didn¡¯t say a word.
Today was the premiere of ¡°The Overbearing Girl Clings On Me¡±. The reporters originally just came to record the event, take some nice photos and videos, and call it a day. But now with such an unexpected turn of events involving the hottest screen goddess, everyone became excited, wishing they could dig up a sensational piece of news.
The host¡¯s voice rang out on the stage, ¡°Everyone quiet down. It was actually a prank designed by our crew, this kid¡¡±
A male reporter interrupted loudly, ¡°Then why does this boy look so much like Lu Zixi?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± another agreed, ¡°Their eyes do look very simr!¡±
¡°Can the host exin this?¡±
The host:
God.
Who was he supposed to ask? He was just a stand-in host hiredst minute. How would he know why a child suddenly came on stage calling for his mother?
Just then another man¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Hello everyone, I am Zan Song, the director of this film.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him.
He held the mic, his voice loud and clear. Plus, because he was someone of importance, the scene immediately quieted down.
¡°Actually, our host was not wrong. This event was actually a pre-nned surprise. Our movie tells the story of a fantastical high school romance between our lead male and female characters, ending in their marriage. Subsequently, there were many fansining online that there should have been scenes of their married life and their baby. Some have even suggested child stars for us to consider if we were thinking of a sequel. So, we designed this ¡®finding mom¡¯ segment.¡±
After finishing his speech, he looked at the crowd, ¡°The little boy who just performed is a child actor we invited. Do you all think he looks like Zixi?¡±
¡°Like!¡±
¡°Not alike!¡±
Despite the divided opinions, the atmosphere had obviously lifted, and the reporters had also turned their cameras elsewhere.
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hugging Fu Ziyang and heading down the stage.
Back at her seat, she didn¡¯t dare to stay. She grabbed her bag and coat and made for the exit.
Just at the exit, Huo Jingshen came back.
Su Wanwan stood there, her beautiful phoenix eyes ring straight at him.
When he came over and she smelled the distinct scent of smoke, she couldn¡¯t help but yell, ¡°Smoke, smoke, smoke, all you know is smoke!¡±
¡°¡¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, not saying a word.
¡°Here, take the kid!¡± Saying this, Su Wanwan thrust Fu Ziyang into Huo Jingshen¡¯s arms and swiftly turned around to leave.
Huo Jingshen once again:¡±¡¡±
Fu Ziyang¡¯s eyes were still on the stage.
Huo Jingshen nced at him and followed his gaze towards the stage.
Just at that moment, Lu Zixi turned to look their way.
Fu Ziyang instantly broke into a naive and innocent smile.
It was obvious that Lu Zixi was taken aback. She only turned her gaze away when her arm was jerked, ¡°Mind your surroundings.¡±
Lu Zixi pulled her gaze back.
**
Carrying the child outside, Huo Jingshen felt a tug on his shoulder.
¡°Uncle Huo, I can walk myself.¡± Fu Ziyang looked a bit ufortable.
He really wasn¡¯t used to being this close to people.
Huo Jingshen put the little guy down, ¡°Did you make your auntie angry just now?¡±
But Fu Ziyang replied, ¡°Uncle Huo, do you think thedy just now looks like me?¡±
The little boy stood on the ground, earnestly tilting his head up to discuss with him, ¡°When I called her mom just now, she didn¡¯t deny it. She looked very surprised and her name, like mine, also contains the character ¡®zi¡¯.¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at the little one who seemed older than his years and felt a pang in his temples. He was about to say something when¡
¡°Sir, sir, please wait!¡± A voice called out from behind.
Huo Jingshen turned around just in time to hear a ¡°click¡±..
Chapter 380 - 38O: 38O, a family of three
Chapter 38O: 38O, a family of three
The reporter put down the camera in his hand, ran over with a grin, pulled out a business card from his pocket, and said, ¡°Hello, sir, I¡¯m a reporter from the Entertainment Television, I would like to ask, are you this child¡¯s father?¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at him, his dark eyes slightly squinted, ¡°Entertainment Television?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± The reporter continued to smile, ¡°May I ask what your rtionship is with Lu Zixi? Is this child your son? If so, are you all a family? Is Lu Zixi lying about her age? Or did she have a child while underage? Why would¡?¡±
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted impatiently.
¡°My name is Zhou Jiekang.¡±
The reporter looked at his expressionless face, inexplicably feeling a sense of foreboding.
But as a reporter, if he could get hold of such sensational news, what would he have to worry about in the future?
Huge temptation immediately prompted him to say, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if Lu Zixi really had a child while underage and deliberately hid it, pretending to deceive the public as a pure maiden, as long as I break this news, I guarantee that you and your child can¡¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t say anything, just pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and briefly said a few words, ¡°Entertainment Television, Zhou Jiekang, get him out of here.¡±
Zhou Jiekang was stunned.
The man¡¯s mature, stable, yet powerful aura prevented him from speaking.
After Huo Jingshen finished speaking, he left with Fu Ziyang.
Not long after, Zhou Jiekang¡¯s mobile phone in his pocket rang, he hurriedly answered, ¡°Editor.¡±
He had no idea what was said on the other end of the phone, but his face changed inyers of emotion, and in the end, he was so frightened, his phone dropped to the ground.
**
Su Wanwan came out of the women¡¯s restroom, walked all the way to the outside of the screening hall, and finally found Huo Jingshen in the sofa area.
He was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, with Fu Ziyang sitting next to him, eating an ice cream cone.
One man was mature and restrained, one child was delicate and pretty. The contrast depicted an image reminiscent of the currently popr ¡°doting father and cute son¡± trend on TV.
As expected, a woman had joined them.
Although she hadn¡¯t said anything, her eyes were fixed on Huo Jingshen¡¯s face, as if she wanted to eat him up.
For some reason, Su Wanwan felt her blood boil.
Damn it, he just caused trouble in the screening hall and now he¡¯s flirting out here?
She immediately stomped over in her snow boots, pinched her throat, and shouted, ¡°Husband! Why did you let our son eat ice cream again? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to give him such things? They will upset his stomach!¡±
Huo Jingshen flinched, his gaze shifted upward from the phone screen, finallynding on her face.
As for Fu Ziyang on the side, he held his ice cream cone in his small hand, his small face frozen in shock.
The woman also looked up and saw Su Wanwan, her brow furrowed.
Huo Jingshen looked mature and was well-dressed, obviously a sessful businessman.
Fu Ziyang was delicate and cute, dressed in designer clothes from head to toe.
But this girl¡
Holding a down jacket, wearing a pink hoodie, jeans, and a pair of matching pink fluffy snow boots.
Was she this man¡¯s wife?
The mother of this child?
She looked more like a sister to him, didn¡¯t she?
But when Su Wanwan looked back at her with an icy stare, she felt a chill, swiftly got up, grabbed her bag, and left hastily.
If she can¡¯t deal with her, she¡¯d better avoid her¡
Su Wanwan red at the retreating woman, then started ring at Huo Jingshen.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled, about to take her small hand when she pped it away, ¡°unting your wealth! Disrespectful to the elderly!¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go home!¡± Su Wanwan walked over, took Fu Ziyang¡¯s small hand, and started to leave.
As she walked, she lectured him gently, ¡°Ziyang, you shouldn¡¯t call every pretty aunt you see ¡®mommy¡¯, she¡¯s not your mom.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Fu Ziyang looked at her skeptically.
He thought that Lu Zixi¡¯s reaction was quite mother-like.
Maybe it was just because there were so many people around, so she didn¡¯t admit it.
Su Wanwan said, ¡°Because she¡¯s only twenty-one, and you¡¯re already five.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Fu Ziyang sounded depressed.
Su Wanwan immediately felt sorry for him and hurried tofort him, ¡°Ziyang, don¡¯t worry, your mom will definitelye to find you.¡±
Fu Ziyang was still depressed, ¡°Then why hasn¡¯t shee to find me in five years?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Su Wanwan was at a loss for words.
After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, even if mommy isn¡¯t here, you¡¯ve got Auntie Wanwan to apany you! The next time there¡¯s a parent-child activity in school, Auntie Wanwan will definitely go with you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Fu Ziyang sounded skeptical.
¡°Really. I swear!¡± Su Wanwan blurted out.
So Fu Ziyang said, ¡°It seems we¡¯re going out of town next weekend.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡.¡±
Out of town?
¡°Will Auntie Wanwane?¡± Fu Ziyang tilted his little head and looked at her.
Su Wanwan looked back at him.
Somehow, it felt like she saw the words ¡°sly fox¡± written on the little guy¡¯s face.
She must have been seeing things.
¡°Sure, where are we going?¡± Su Wanwan asked immediately.
Fu Ziyang said, ¡°For hot spring bathing, we need to wear swimsuits.¡±
¡°Sure, I¡¯ll apany you.¡±
Huo Jingshen behind them timely added, ¡°Good, let¡¯s go to the tenth floor to buy swimsuits.¡±
Fu Ziyang nodded his little head, ¡°Okay.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
*
*
Ten minutester, the three of them arrived at the swimsuit department on the tenth floor.
Thinking of the time when someone secretly bought a lot of pajamas behind her back, as Fu Ziyang went in to choose swimming trunks, Su Wanwan lowered her voice and said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy my swimsuit myself. You¡¯re not allowed to interfere.¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips curled slightly, ¡°Okay.¡±
Really agree so easily?
¡°By the way, help your hubby to buy swimming trunks too.¡±
Su Wanwan blurted out, ¡°Are you going too?¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s dark pupils contracted, ¡°Hmm?¡±
Su Wanwan shied back, quickly replied, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you buy them yourself?¡±
¡°It¡¯s the same if baby helps me buy them, after all¡¡± he lowered his voice, ¡°You know my¡ measurements.¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s little face flushed, ¡°How would I know that?¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled, ¡°You forgot so quickly?¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Damn it!
¡°Nuts!¡±
Su Wanwan cursed and couldn¡¯t stand it any longer, she rushed straight into the shop.
*
*
Kids¡¯ swimming trunks are easy to buy, Fu Ziyang quickly picked two small ones, one blue and one ck.
Su Wanwan also liked two sets.
Considering there would be children along with their parents while soaking in the hot spring, she chose two bikini pieces.
Not as revealing as a bikini, but also not as conservative and old-fashioned as a one-piece.
One is sky blue, pure and lovely.
One is a pink petal design, smart and lively.
The prices were also simr, Su Wanwan was stuck with indecision.
An attendant on the side quickly suggested, ¡°Miss, why don¡¯t you try both first?¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll try the pink one.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Going into the changing room behind, Su Wanwan quickly changed into the pink swimsuit.
Her skin is white, and any color looked lovely on her, but¡ it seemed a bit tight.
The attendant¡¯s voice reached from outside at this time, ¡°Miss, do you need me to bring the other one for you to try as well?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
As Su Wanwan looked at the mirror inside the changing room, she heard a knocking from outside, she extended her hand to push the door from behind.
The door opened, but to her surprise, it was Huo Jingshen who came in.
Su Wanwan was startled and quickly turned around, trying to push him out, but he directly closed the door and locked it.
The changing room was originally quite spacious, but due to his arrival, it immediately became cramped. Su Wanwan felt a difficulty in breathing, her heart pounding faster as she rushed to ask, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
¡°Try this one?¡±
Seeing the one in his hand, Su Wanwan gnashed her teeth, ¡°No!¡±
It was actually a bikini!
And also a ck one.
What a gross taste of an old man!
¡°Can you get out?!¡¯
1 Su Wanwan¡¯s face turned red as she gave a hard pinch on his arm.
However, Huo Jingshen appeared oblivious, ¡°The one you¡¯re wearing seems a bit small.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wanwan was caught off guard for a moment.
Then, Huo Jingshen raised his beautiful fingers, and subtly pulled on the fabric, ¡°As I said, your swimsuit seems a bit small.¡±
¡°Damn it!¡± Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help it anymore, and directly pped his hand away.
You think you could havee in if the swimsuit wasn¡¯t a bit small?
Wasn¡¯t it enough to take advantage verbally?
You still want to take advantage physically?
Had I not been afraid of being overheard by others, did you think I would tolerate this?
Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, making Huo Jingshen struggle to suppress his amusement.
He raised his eyebrows, noticing that the girl was genuinely shy, he shoved the swimsuit into her hands, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going out, remember to try this one.¡±
Having said that, he actually left..
Chapter 381: 381, Weiyi checking post: Check if there are any women’s hair.
Chapter 381: Weiyi checking post: Check if there are any women¡¯s hair.
Su Wanwan walked out after trying on swimsuits and headed straight to the cashier¡¯s counter. ¡°I want this one. Do you have a sizerger in the cup area?¡± She still found the pink one more appealing.
And the bikini?
She disposed of it and the blue swimsuit directly to the sales clerk. ¡°I don¡¯t want these two.¡±
¡°Okay, miss.¡±
Unexpectedly, a woman¡¯s hand stretched over from the side at that moment. She was wearing a silver bracelet, her fingers were lean, her skin was fair, and her nails were painted nude, simple and elegant.
Her voice was equally soft and graceful, ¡°Is this blue swimsuit a medium size?¡±
Su Wanwan looked up and froze.
It was the same woman who was with Xiao Yebai the other day!
The mistress!
The woman looked at her and smiled, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth. ¡°Miss, is this a medium size?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded subconsciously.
¡°Thank you.¡± The woman smiled and picked up the swimsuit by her side. ¡°I¡¯ll take this one. Charge it to my card.¡±
¡°Sure, miss.¡± The sales clerk immediately issued the receipt.
Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but study her.
Thest time she saw her with Xiao Yebai, she was wearing a ck knitted sweater and a id skirt, exuding a certain charm in her neatness because it was in the club.
Today, she was carrying a beige down jacket, and she was dressed in a beige knitted long dress. The long skirt trailed all the way to her feet, her exquisite curly hair, her elegant makeup, making her look soft andposed.
Regardless, it was clear she belonged to the category of urban white-cor women who were seasoned and mature, even more so than herself and Mo Weiyi.
And it wasn¡¯t a maturity like Chu Jingyi¡¯s either.
Chu Jingyi¡¯s age and wealth were evident in her imposing and somewhat arrogant demeanor, even her gaze held a sense of contempt and disdain.
This woman, on the other hand, did not have any of these characteristics, in contrast, she was much morefortable and approachable.
When she took out a ck card from her bag, Su Wanwan was even more astonished.
Up until now, she knew of only one woman who used a ck card, Mo Weiyi.
She didn¡¯t expect this woman to have one too.
Could it have been given by Xiao Yebai?
Damn!
Upon this realization, Su Wanwan felt her blood boiling.
Xiao Yebai now controls the Mo Group, although she doesn¡¯t understand business, Mo Weiyi had mentioned that even Mo Yaoxiong doesn¡¯t handle affairs much, and Xiao Yebai now holds all the power in the Mo Family.
So¡ he was usingpany money to keep a mistress?
Su Wenwen wanted to take a picture with her phone, but it was too conspicuous.
She wanted to confront her, but she had no grounds.
So when the sales clerk brought over the receipt for that woman to sign, Su Wenwen immediately shifted her gaze to it.
Tian Ye?
Was this a name?
¡°Miss, this is one size bigger in the chest area, miss, miss.¡±
Su Wanwan hurriedly turned around.
She took the swimsuit, and when she turned back, the woman had already signed, picked up the delicate shopping bag, and gracefully walked away. ¡°Miss, do you want this one?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Charge it to your card?¡± asked the sales clerk again.
Before Su Wenwen could answer, Huo Jingshen elegantly slid a ck card onto the counter.
Looking at his graceful rich man¡¯s demeanor, the sales clerk immediately shifted her envious gaze to Su Wanwan.
But Su Wanwan had her eyebrows furrowed, and as soon as she got back in the car, she dialed Mo Weiyi¡¯s number.
¡°Weiyi, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Studying.¡± Mo Weiyi grumbled, and the recitation of English texts could be heard on the phone.
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Do you know a woman named Tian?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mo Weiyi denied it bluntly.
¡°Called Tian Ye, You really don¡¯t know?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, what is it?¡±
¡°Has Xiaobai been acting unusuallytely?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice was sweet and innocent. ¡°I¡¯ve been working hard to learn English every day recently, so to not disturb me, hees homete and even works overtime on the weekends.¡±
You call that not unusual?
Su Wanwan was speechless, ¡°So, what time does he usuallye home?¡±
¡°Generally after nine, because before nine a tutores over for private lessons, and they use his study.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Why are you asking this?¡±
Su Wanwan decided to be upfront, ¡°I forgot to tell you yesterday, I saw him at the club with a woman alone, and he was speaking to her in a gentle tone, the woman was quite pretty too.¡±
¡°Alone?¡± The pitch of Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice instantly raised. ¡°What does she look like, did you take a picture?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, I saw her again at the clothing store just now, and she was using a ck card, seems quite wealthy, her signature read Tian Ye, not sure if that¡¯s her name.¡±
¡°I got it.¡± Mo Weiyi hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
**
Mo Family¡¯s vi.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t concentrate on her studies anymore.
Was there another woman around Xiaobai?
And a private meeting at a club?
Who talked oh-so-gently?
What was her name¡ Tian Ye?
What the hell!
She immediately grabbed her phone.
But no information about a woman named Tian Ye could be found on Baidu, Weibo, Zhihu¡
It was now half past three in the afternoon, and Xiaobai had mentioned earlier that he had a social engagement in the afternoon.
Without further hesitation, Mo Weiyi directly dialed Xiao Yebai¡¯s cell phone.
The call went through, rang for a long time, before finally, a man¡¯s clean and pleasant voice came through, ¡°Weiyi.¡±
There seemed to be other people talking in the background.
Immediately sensitive, Mo Weiyi asked, ¡°Xiaobai, where are you now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m socializing.¡±
¡°When will it be over?¡±
¡°Around five.¡±
¡°After you¡¯re done, why don¡¯te home and have dinner with me?¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t the teacher have to make up the ss?¡±
¡°That won¡¯t interfere with our dinner together, youe back and keep mepanyter, I¡¯ll have Aunt Zhou make some dishes you love.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Yebai agreed.
**
At six-thirty in the evening, Mo Weiyi sat cross-legged on the couch with a thick book, ¡°New Horizon College English,¡± on herp, but she had barely turned a page since sat down.
When she heard the engine sounding from outside, she instantly threw the book aside, ¡°Xiaobai.¡±
Soon, Xiao Yebai walked in from outside.
He was wearing a thick coat, unbuttoned, revealing a dark woolen sweater underneath, and wearing a matching dark scarf around his neck. He looked sharp and cool, with a lingering chill on him as if he had juste in from the cold outside.
¡°Xiaobai, let me help you,¡± Mo Weiyi offered to help him take off his coat.
Xiao Yebai nced at her, took off his coat and scarf, and put them in her hands.
Mo Weiyi turned and took them to the couch.
She sat there, carefully examining the scarf and coat¡
¡°What are you doing?¡± Xiao Yebai asked in a deep voice.
¡°Looking for a woman¡¯s hair!¡±
Xiao Yebai:
None!
Mo Weiyi sniffed the clothes again.
Except for a hint of tobo and alcohol, no other smells, fragrances or anything¡ Nothing at all!
Tossing away the clothes, Mo Weiyi stood up and looked at him, ¡°Who is Tian Ye?¡±
Xiao Yebai stood there, expressionless.
A sudden sense of panic rose in Mo Weiyi¡¯s heart. She looked at the man¡¯s handsome, serene profile under the lights, his ck and white cat-like eyes blinked, about to speak¡
¡°She¡¯s a ssmate from the American Institute.¡±
¡°A ssmate?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Xiao Yebai lowered his head, behind the sses, his eyes were downcast, his voice slightly downcast, ¡°Recently returned to the country for career development.¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately pouted her lips, ¡°So you also have female ssmates.¡±
This man, who always acted like a loner and rarely had friends, and never had any female friends, suddenly introduced a female ssmate from America?
Really strange!
Xiao Yebaizily lifted his eyelids and gave her a nonchnt nce, ¡°Simr to your male ssmate named Ling Zhizhou.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi objected, ¡°How can it be the same? Ling Zhizhou is my junior!¡±
Since they met at an exam venue that day and added each other on WeChat, Ling Zhizhou had been striking up conversations with her quite frequently.
Earlier such one morning, Xiao Yebai happened to be present when Ling Zhizhou sent her a WeChat message. As soon as she opened the voice message, he heard it.
He didn¡¯t react at the time, but surprisingly, he remembered it.
Petty!
Mo Weiyi added, ¡°He is two years younger than me.¡±
Being from the same department and having spent over two years in college, Ling Zhizhou was the first male student not to judge her based on her identity. He was clean-cut and gentlemanly in appearance which didn¡¯t disgust her, so she did not resist his approach.
Lately, she was putting in extra efforts to learn English, and most of the conversations with him were about English study.
Fearing Xiao Yebai might not believe her, she quickly picked up her phone again, ¡°Take a look for yourself, I am just asking him questions about English.¡±
Xiao Yebai nced indifferently at the screen, and his thin lips curled upwards.
A slight curve, like a smirk.
Mo Weiyi pressed him, ¡°What about you, why did you go to the club alone with her?¡±
Chapter 382: 382, Xiaobai’s Female Research Institute Classmate
Chapter 382: Xiaobai¡¯s Female Research Institute ssmate
Mo Weiyi asked him again, ¡°Then why did you go to the club alone with her?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Xiao Yebai still had a casual tone.
¡°Wanwan told me.¡±
Xiao Yebai opened his lips, ¡°There was a little trouble in her family, and I just casually helped out. We happened to run into each other at the clubhouse.¡± ¡°Such a coincidence?¡± Mo Weiyi always felt that something was off, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you so eager to help others before.¡±
Although it was not very nice of her to describe her husband as a ¡°cold-blooded animal¡±, it wasn¡¯t far from the truth.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his voice was monotonous, ¡°I just happened to be there.
1¡®
In other words, he would not have helped otherwise.
Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°Have you eaten?¡± Xiao Yebai suddenly asked.
¡°No, I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± Mo Weiyi hugged his arm, her voice returning to its usual soft and coquettish tone, ¡°I asked Aunt Zhou to make your favorite ginseng chicken soup.¡±
¡°Hmmm.¡±
**
The dining room.
Soon the table was filled with steaming hot dishes.
Xiao Yebai nced at it, almost all of them being his favorites.
¡°We haven¡¯t had dinner together for a while.¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t resist muttering.
Since she began to work hard at her studies, Xiao Yebai was out early and returnedte every day. He was barely seen during the day, and they only had a short time together at night when they shared the bed.
Sometimes he returned toote, and Mo Weiyi would already be falling asleep. When she woke up the next day, she was the only one left on the bed.
¡°It¡¯s busy at the end of the year, with thepany¡¯s anniversarying up.¡±
¡°Then you should drink more soup to replenish your energy.¡± Mo Weiyi, like a virtuous wife, took a spoon and helped him with the chicken soup.
The two of them chatted as they ate.
Until a maid¡¯s voice suddenly came from outside, ¡°Miss Chen, the princess is still eating, please wait.¡±
Since she was a tutor and only a year older than Mo Weiyi, and was also hardworking and thrifty, Aunt Zhou was quite polite to her.
Mo Weiyi immediately put down her chopsticks, ¡°Xiaobai, the teacher is here, I¡¯m going to ss.¡±
Xiao Yebai responded with a simple ¡°hmm¡±.
When Mo Weiyi reached the living room, Chen Jin was just getting up, but she heard Mo Weiyi say, ¡°Teacher Chen, please wait for me, I left my textbooks upstairs.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
When Mo Weiyi ran upstairs, Chen Jin sat back down on the sofa.
The living room was very quiet.
She looked up at the several decorative paintings on the wall, which seemed to have been newly changed today. The backgrounds were different, but the protagonist in each was invariably a girl in a school uniform.
One was of a girl deep in thought, leaning alone on a desk in the ssroom.
One was of a girl standing at the ssroom door with a violin case on her back.
Another one was of a girl walking on the street, her head lowered as she held an umbre.
The lines in these paintings were simple and the colors were light, but somehow, looking at them gave Chen Jin a sense of sadness¡
Footsteps rang out at that moment.
Chen Jin quickly pulled her gaze away as a tall, straight figure appeared before her eyes.
The man was wearing a dark wool sweater and sharp-cut ck trousers.
He had fair skin, a high, straight nose with a pair of sses with thin ck frames perched on it. When he spotted her, his face was expressionless, even his eyes were deep and cold, giving off an aura of aloofness.
Chen Jin stood up subconsciously and opened her mouth, ¡°Hello¡¡±
Xiao Yebai nodded slightly, still expressionless, and stepped up to the second floor without another word.
Chen Jin stood in ce, only realizing after the man¡¯s figure had vanished that she had been so nervous she had held her breath.
¡°Teacher Chen!¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s crisp voice echoed from the staircase.
She held arge stack of textbooks, her fluffy curls swaying with her movement. A sweet smile on her cute little face as she approached, she said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we can start now.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
Chen Jin came back to her senses, picked up her bag and walked towards the study. However, she couldn¡¯t resist taking onest nce over her shoulder.
Mo Weiyi was in her junior year of college. Before, she thought Mo Weiyi was a simple female college student like herself, who was privileged enough to be born beautiful and into a wealthy family.
But she never expected that she was actually already married.
Every time she came here to tutor, outside of Mo Weiyi and the maids, she never saw what her husband looked like.
Did she envision a middle-aged, lecherous man?
Rich, balding, sporting arge belly, and with a lewd smile on his face.
Because of this, Chen Jin once felt sorry for Mo Weiyi.
There were no wedding photos on the first floor of the vi, and no photos in the study. It wasn¡¯t until today when she saw Xiao Yebai for the first time that she realized how wrong she was.
¡°Teacher Chen.¡±
Mo Weiyi quickly noticed that Chen Jin seemed distracted today, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?¡±
Chen Jin quickly shook her head, ¡°No.¡±
Mo Weiyi tilted her head, her delicate eyebrows lightly furrowed under the bright light of the study room, looking incredibly innocent, ¡°If you have something going on, just let me know ahead of time. You don¡¯t have toe every day.¡±
Chen Jin¡¯s tutoring schedule was originally set for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
But having just taken the Level 4. English test a couple of days ago had dealt Mo Weiyi a huge blow. With her current English foundation, it seemed like a pipe dream to rank among the top ten in her ss within a month.
So, she negotiated with Zhong Kai to see if Chen Jin coulde over every night. In addition to paying the hourly tutoring fee, she would pay an extra fifty percent.
Chen Jin readily agreed, which is why weekend tutoring was happening.
¡°Okay.¡± Chen Jin smiled, shy and introverted.
Looking at Chen Jin¡¯s face, Mo Weiyi suddenly coughed twice and asked in a soft and ambiguous tone, ¡°Teacher Chen, do you have a boyfriend?¡±
Chen Jin¡¯s face turned red, and she quickly denied it, ¡°No.¡±
Mo Weiyi smiled, ¡°You¡¯re so cute, how can you not have a boyfriend?¡±
Seeing Chen Jin¡¯s face growing redder, she couldn¡¯t help but pry into her life further, ¡°You¡¯ve never had a boyfriend before?¡±
Chen Jin:¡±¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re a year older than me. You really never had a boyfriend?¡± Mo Weiyi eximed as if she¡¯d just discovered a new world.
Chen Jin felt extremely embarrassed.
She wasn¡¯t good at discussing such personal matters.
Mo Weiyi, with her chin propped on her hands, looked perplexed, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t you date?¡±
Chen Jin picked up the cup from the table, took a sip topose herself, and then calmly said, ¡°I just took the IELTS, and I n to go abroad right after the New Year.¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re short on time.¡± Mo Weiyi chirped cheerfully, ¡°That¡¯s why I say it¡¯s important to seize your feelings. Look at me. I¡¯ve been in love with Xiaobai since I was ten. There¡¯s no escaping it now.¡±
¡°Xiaobai?¡±
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s my husband. You must have seen him earlier, right?¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Chen Jin was a little surprised.
Xiaobai?
This name¡ why does it sound like¡ a pet¡¯s name?
¡°Don¡¯t be scared, my husband mighte off as cold, but he¡¯s not a bad person.¡± Thinking that Chen Jin might be scared, Mo Weiyi quickly tried to reassure her, ¡°He¡¯s kind-hearted and loves to help others.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Chen Jin nodded nkly.
Halfway through their eight o¡¯clock tutoring session, they were interrupted by a knock on the study room door.
The person who entered was Aunt Zhou, ¡°Princess.¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
Aunt Zhou fumbled for words, ¡°Mr. Xiao¡¯s sister is here.¡±
Xiao Zhiwei?
Mo Weiyi immediately knit her eyebrows, ¡°Where is she?¡±
¡°She said that Mr. Xiao won¡¯t answer her calls.¡± Aunt Zhou looked worried, ¡°I didn¡¯t dare disturb Mr. Xiao, but she¡¯s been ringing the doorbell for half an hour now¡¡±
As soon as Aunt Zhou finished speaking, Mo Weiyi heard a round of incessant ringinging from outside.
She couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.
Wasn¡¯t this woman supposed to have returned to Tongcheng?
Why does she keep showing up in Nancheng like a lingering ghost?
And making a ruckus here in the middle of the night is just too much!
She no longer felt like tutoring, and got up, ¡°That¡¯s enough for today, Teacher Chen.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Chen Jin also picked up her things and got ready to leave.
¡°Aunt Zhou.¡± Mo Weiyimanded, ¡°Let her in.¡±
She was curious to see just what this woman was up to this time!
¡°As you wish, princess.¡±
**
Having put on her coat, Chen Jin came outside to find the driver already waiting by the car.
This job wasn¡¯t bad, with good pay and benefits.
Because Chen Jin¡¯s tutoring sessions ended at 9 pm, Mo Weiyi worried about her safety returning home sote. So she arranged for a driver to take Chen Jin home.
As Chen Jin left in the car, she looked through the window to see a young woman entering the vi¡¯s gate.
She had short ck hair and wore a nk expression, her thin ck clothes giving her a somewhat gloomy appearance.
The light grazed past, illuminating her face.
Chen Jin was shocked.
What kind of look was that?
It was filled with bitterness, malice, jealousy, and hatred.
It was simply terrifying..

Chapter 383: the carefree Little Princess
As soon as the car left the vi, Chen Jin couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Uncle Liu, what did that woman want with Miss Mo?¡±
Uncle Liu chuckled, ¡°These are things we servants would not know.¡±
Chen Jin¡¯s face showed a trace of awkwardness.
In fact, she knew that the servants who walked around the vi every day must know everything about their masters.
The reason they kept silent was simply to guard against outsiders.
Yes, outsiders.
After all, she was an outsider.
Chen Jin lowered her head, repeatedly reminding herself inwardly, not to be nosy, not to overthink, and certainly not to overstep.
**
The toasty living room was brightly lit like daylight.
The expensive crystal chandeliers cast a radiant glow on the room, making Mo Weiyi¡¯s pretty little face look as smooth and delicate as a peeled boiled egg.
Hearing footsteps, Mo Weiyi turned around.
She was a little startled when she saw Xiao Zhiwei.
They hadn¡¯t seen each other for a few months since theirst hospital encounter, she didn¡¯t expect such a drastic change.
Her hair was thin, brittle, and glued to her scalp as if she hadn¡¯t washed it in months.
Her face was bruised with a band-aid on the corner of her mouth, as if she had been beaten up.
She walked with a limp and didn¡¯t even bother changing into indoor slippers, leaving two distinct footprints on the clean floor.
Her entire body was shockingly thin, as if she had suffered some inhumane torture.
But¡how?
With her temperament, who could have mistreated her?
So, Mo Weiyi immediately said with a serious look on her face, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei, it¡¯s only been a short while since Ist saw you, and you¡¯ve turned yourself into a ghost?¡±
Although she didn¡¯t like Xiao Zhiwei, the impression of Xiao Zhiwei in the past had been one of cold, aloof demeanor.
Even when she was in the hospital after a miscarriage, she still resembled a porcupine covered in spikes.
This was the first time Mo witnessed such a pitiful sight of her, she couldn¡¯t even recognize her.
Xiao Zhiwei didn¡¯t say anything.
Her eyes were filled with waves of madness, poisoned and bing deeper and more intense.
She had been imprisoned for a whole week, undergoing all kinds of physical and psychological torture in jail.
However, despite being tortured, she adamantly denied giving orders to Song Quan, in the end, they had no choice but to release her.
The first thing she did after getting out was to find Xiao Yebai, but she couldn¡¯t even get through to him on the phone.
During her hospitalization, he didn¡¯t visit her once¡
She had been waiting in the cold wind for so long that she was almost numb with cold, but now looking at Mo Weiyi, living in this luxurious, warm vi, dressed impably from head to toe, her expression so innocent and radiant.
She looked like a carefree little princess.
Xiao Zhiwei raised her foot, clenched her fist, and stepped toward Mo Weiyi.
She surged forward and violently raised her right hand.
Noticing the agitation in her eyes, Mo Weiyi had an early hunch of hostility.
She immediately grabbed her wrist, ¡°What are you doing? Have you gone mad?¡±
Xiao Zhiwei appeared truly mad, struggling vigorously, exerting all her strength.
Mo Weiyi, being physically weak, was pushed back and almost fell over.
¡°Princess.¡±
The first thing Mo Weiyi said after she stabilized herself was, ¡°Aunty Zhou, get her out of here now!¡±
This is absurd!
She actually came over in the middle of the night wanting to start a fight?
Xiao Zhiwei remained silent and tried to advance and hit her again.
Thankfully the servants had already reacted, two of them restrained her and started pulling her out.
Xiao Zhiwei grimaced in pain as her bruised arm was tugged, her face turned green, and she broke into a cold sweat.
Yet, despite this, she continued to struggle, refusing to leave.
Until a series of footsteps could be heard.
¡°Xiaobai!¡± Mo Weiyi immediately shouted, ¡°Your sister has gone crazy!¡±
Hearing this name, Xiao Zhiwei finally stopped resisting.
Mo Weiyi ran over to Xiao Yebai, held onto his arm, andined piteously, ¡°She¡¯s gone mad and tried to hit me as soon as she came in! It scared me to death!¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he took off his sses, making his handsome features even sharper.
Briefly closing his eyes, he said, ¡°You go upstairs first.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi red at Xiao Zhiwei, obediently turned around, and was about to go upstairs.
¡°Don¡¯t go! Stay right there!¡± Xiao Zhiwei finally spoke, her throat sounding dry and hoarse, as if she was straining to speak.
Mo Weiyi stopped in her tracks.
She turned around.
Lifting her chin, a sneer appeared in her dazzling eyes, ¡°Xiao Zhiwei, do you know what you look like now? You are a lunatic! A total lunatic!¡±
Xiao Zhiwei¡¯s eyes were zing with crazed fury, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, would I end up like this?¡±
Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes dismissively, toozy to argue more with a lunatic, ¡°Anyway, Xiaobai is here now. After you finish your piece, please get out of my house right away, and nevere back again!¡±
No longer wanting to look at her again, Mo Weiyi quickly turned and went upstairs after he finished saying this.
**
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t return until an hourter.
Mo Weiyi was sprawled out on therge carved bed in the bedroom, reading a book. She had finished taking a bath and was currently dressed in a fluffy, loose nightgown. Her snow-white legs were propped up, and a thick English textbooky before her.
Upon seeing him, Mo Weiyi pushed herself up immediately, ¡°Xiaobai, has your sister left yet?¡±
¡°Yes, she¡¯s gone back to Tongcheng.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Mo Weiyi wrinkled her small nose, ¡°Is your sister mentally ill? It seemed like she was injured. Don¡¯t her parents care about her? Why should we be troubled just because she got into a predicament? Was she beaten up? Has she offended someone?¡±
Xiao Yebai walked straight towards the bathroom, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a bath first.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
Having not gotten the answer she wanted, she figured that Xiaobai was reluctant to talk too much about it.
After all, in the past four years, even though Xiao Zhiwei was studying in Canada, she had caused quite a few problems, and each time, it was Xiaobai who cleaned up the mess.
She hadn¡¯t expected that even after returning to China, Xiao Zhiwei still didn¡¯t know how to behave!
With a rtive like this, Xiaobai truly had eight lifetimes of bad luck!
Mo Weiyi shook her head, then resumed reading her book.
**
Monday morning.
Mo Weiyi arrived at school early in the morning and took part in the g-raising ceremony.
During the ceremony, the students around her kept ncing at her and discussing among themselves.
The usually majestic and charming school beauty seemed to havepletely changed recently. Not only did she attend school every day, but she was also always carrying a backpack and reading an English book even while walking¡
Astonishing!
After the g-raising ceremony, Mo Weiyi headed straight for the journalism department building.
On Monday morning, Su Wanwan had two English sses. That meant she get to sit-in again!
As she walked into the ssroom, the other students were already ustomed to her habit of visiting frequently, so they didn¡¯t react much.
The two of them took their usual seats by the window. However, the ss teacher, Li Mochou, arrived before they did.
¡°Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan, could you step outside for a moment?¡±
Mo Weiyi hurriedly asked her, ¡°Did you get into trouble again?¡±
Su Wanwan:
She hadn¡¯t made any mistakes recently.
Could it be that Huo Jingshen came to the school again?
Damn it!
Su Wanwan went out of the ssroom in silence. To her surprise, as soon as she got into the elevator, the ss teacher asked her, ¡°Do you know Zan Song?¡± Zan Song?
Su Wanwan felt that this name sounded familiar, but she did not know the person.
The ss teacher said, ¡°He specifically mentioned your name and said he wanted to see you. I thought it was something serious. Come with me first.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Su Wanwan obediently followed the ss teacher to his office.
As the door opened, a man and a woman were sitting on the sofa inside.
The woman was stylishly dressed but was wearingrge sunsses that nearly covered her entire face, making it impossible to recognize who she was.
¡°Thank you, Teacher Wang.¡± The man¡¯s voice was loud, ¡°Could we speak with Ms. Su alone for a few minutes?¡±
The ss teacher nodded, turned around, and left.
As soon as the door closed, the woman lifted her hand to remove her sunsses, revealing a pair of slightly haggard but beautiful apricot eyes.
Lu Zixi?
Su Wanwan blinked, ¡°What do you want to see me for?¡±
¡°Miss Su.¡±
Lu Zixi stood up, her voice was as melodious as a bird¡¯s song, standing tall and graceful.
Just like the enchanting woman on the TV screen, but she looked panicked and somewhat haggard.
She asked, ¡°The child we met at the movie theater that day, what¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡±
Su Wanwan was at a loss, ¡°Are you referring to¡Ziyang?¡±
¡°So his name is Ziyang.¡± Lu Zixi seemed quite agitated all of a sudden and asked again, ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡±
¡°He calls me auntie.¡±
Lu Zixi nodded, ¡°How much do you know about what happened back then?¡±
¡°What happened back then?¡± Su Wanwan was still at a loss.
Lu Zixi was taken aback and looked at Zan Song.
After a brief exchange of nces, Lu Zixi asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it your intention to take him to see me that day?¡±
¡°You got it wrong.¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s face fell, ¡°That day we just went to the movies, and Ziyang just mistook you for someone else.¡±
¡°Mistook me for someone else?¡± Lu Zixi shook her head, ¡°No, that¡¯s impossible. It couldn¡¯t be.¡±
Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°What do you people really want?¡±
Lu Zixi hurriedly asked, ¡°Is he five years old this year?¡±
Chapter 384: 384, bribery in secret, unworthy to be a mother.
Chapter 384: bribery in secret, unworthy to be a mother.
Lu Zixi hurriedly asked, ¡°Is he five years old this year?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
¡°His birthday wasst month, right?¡±
Su Wanwan continued to nod.
However, Lu Zixi¡¯s reaction next startled Su Wanwan.
She started crying.
Tears flowed unbidden from her eyes, streaking down her cheeks like a string
of pearls snapping.
She didn¡¯t make any sound, just stared at her, tears streaming down her face.
It is said that a beautiful woman crying is like pear blossoms bathed in rain,
and Su Wenwen has now witnessed it.
Especially Lu Zixi¡¯s eyes are slightly innocent, yet vulnerable almond-shaped eyes. The image of her holding back her tears, devoid of the yful and clever charm of the ¡°national goddess¡± often seen on screen, made her all the more pitiful and endearing.
Zan Song from the side handed over a tissue. Lu Zixi wiped her eyes, calming
her emotions before finally speaking.
¡±My child, Ziyang is my child¡¡±
Hearing this, Su Wanwan blurted out, ¡°Impossible!¡±
¡°Miss Su, he really is my child!¡±
Su Wenwen exined, ¡°Ziyang is the son of my husband¡¯s friend. His dad is in the United Kingdom, Ziyang just came here a few months ago for school. He has nothing to do with you.¡±
¡°United Kingdom?¡± A fresh stream of tears began to fall from Lu Zixi¡¯s eyes.
¡°Then it¡¯s true, he must be my child. The man who got me pregnant went to the United Kingdom. I knew it, the moment I saw his eyes on the stage, I knew he was my child!¡±
¡°You must be mistaken.¡± Su Wanwan never expected the matter to take this turn. ¡°And aren¡¯t you only twenty-one years old? How could you possibly have a five-year-old child?¡±
Lu Zixi bit her lip, ¡°I really had no other choice at the time.¡±
Su Wanwan:
Holy shit!
Did that reporter¡¯s prediction actuallye true, was the national goddess really a mother before she was even of legal age?
¡°I entered this industry when I was ten, and for various reasons, I had a child with a man when I was sixteen. The situation was veryplicated, and the child was sent to an orphanage.
I sent them money for his living expenses every month. But never expected, the orphanage suddenly caught fire a yearter. I was abroad for intensive training and by the time I rushed back, the child was gone.
I thought he was dead, everyone told me he was dead. But if he were still alive, he¡¯d be five years old now and his birthday wasst month, I didn¡¯t remember wrong.¡±
Lu Zixi¡¯s tears were streaming down her face, describing her story through sobs. You could tell she was emotional.
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°If so, why didn¡¯t you rify it that day?¡±
Lu Zixi said, ¡°Miss Su, the entertainment industry isn¡¯t as simple as you think. I¡¯ve been through ups and downs in this field for eleven years, and I finally have some fame now. I can¡¯t afford to lose. I know, you must think I¡¯m an irresponsible mother, but back then I really was too scared to admit he was mine.¡±
Wiping her tears, she continued, ¡°Zan Song is my good friend of many years, and I owe my entire career today to his grooming. He is also aware of this matter. He found all the footage from that day, but we couldn¡¯t find any information about the child. We only found out that you¡¯re a student at this university, hence why I came looking for you today.¡±
Zan Song spoke up, ¡°Ever since Zixi found out about the child, she¡¯s barely slept or eaten anything these past few days, she¡¯s really worried about him.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Su Wanwan sneered, ¡°If she was really worried, why did she abandon him back then?¡±
Lu Zixi¡¯s expression faltered, but before she could respond, Su Wanwan continued, ¡°Besides, how can I believe that you are Ziyang¡¯s mother just based on your words?¡±
Shouldn¡¯t they do a paternity test or something?
Lu Zixi hurriedly took a check out of her bag, ¡°That¡¯s why, I am giving you this.¡±
Su Wanwan took it and looked at the number.
1, 2, 3, i, 5-
Wait, one million?
¡°This money is for you. Please help me keep this a secret for now. Can you then bring him to meet me? In the meantime, if reporterse to interview you, you must help me keep this a secret. My career is just starting to rise, and I really can¡¯t afford any bad press.¡±
Su Wanwan, holding the cheque in her hand, remained silent.
Zan Song nced at Lu Zixi. After catching her hint, Lu Zixi then continued, -This one million is just the deposit, if a paternity test proves that Ziyang is my son indeed, I¡¯d like to ask Miss Su to continue taking care of him. I¡¯ll give you another five million as child support, and an additional monthly living fee for Ziyang of fifty thousand. Could you give me your bank ount then? We could sign a confidential agreement just between us.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her and remained silent.
¡°Miss Su, do you think this is not enough? Then¡¡±
Lu Zixi¡¯s brows furrowed. She thought for a moment, then pulled a jewelry box from her bag.
Inside was a luxurious and beautiful pearl ne.
-Because everything happened so suddenly, I didn¡¯t have time to raise more money This ne was a gift from a sponsor after I gave them an endorsement. If you pawn it, it could probably fetch about four to five million.¡±
With that, she pressed the jewelry box into Su Wanwan¡¯s hand.
Su Wanwan held the jewelry box in one hand and the cheque in the other, her gaze fixed onto Lu Zixi.
Lu Zixi¡¯s expression instantly turned even more agonized, ¡°Miss Su, please, can¡¯t you help me out? Back then, I really had difficulties, and if you still feel it¡¯s not enough¡¡±
With a ¡°ng¡± sound, Su Wanwan violently threw the jewelry box onto the floor.
Then,
With a ¡°rip¡± sound, she tore the check into pieces, throwing it forcefully into the sky.
The white scraps of paper fluttered down, and along with them, Lu Zixi¡¯s face turned paler by the second.
¡°Miss Su, you¡¡±
Zan Song, standing to one side, was also quite surprised.
A check for a million, plus this ne worth four to five million, with an additional 5 million to be addedter, was certainly not a small sum. This was the best solution they could think of after the incident happened, but could this young girl, not of a very big age, have such great appetites?
Just earlier, Zan Song thought Su Wanwan was pretending to be ignorant to extort more money, it turned out he guessed wrong.
Zan Song frowned deeply, wondering how to resolve the situation when¡ ¡°Born but not raised, you¡¯re a disgrace to motherhood!¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s voice rang out.
She had to clench her hands tightly to suppress the urge to p Lu Zixi.
She said word by word, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t want Ziyang at the start, now Ziyang is living well, he doesn¡¯t need such an irresponsible mother like you! Nor does he need this lousy 50,000 yuan monthly alimony! And I, don¡¯t need your hush money!¡±
Having said that, she turned around and left right away.
-Miss Su!¡± Lu Zixi wanted to chase after her but suddenly, her vision darkened, and she copsed backwards.
¡°Zixi!¡± Zan Song rushed up to support her.
**
Su Wanwan stormed out of the office fuming.
¡°Su fellow student, is the conversation over? Su fellow student, Su fellow student?¡±
Despite calling several times, Su Wanwan, cold-faced, didn¡¯t turn her head, just walked straight into the elevator.
The head teacher:¡±¡.¡±
Helpless.
If this happened in the past, she would have scolded her for disrespecting the teacher long ago, but ever since she found out she¡¯s the eldest daughter-inw of Huo Family, the wealthiest family in Nancheng¡
Well, even if she acts high and mighty, he has to tolerate it.
**
It wasn¡¯t until Su Wanwan came out of the elevator that she suddenly stopped. Then, she fiercely clenched her small fists in the air, scratching non-stop.
How furious!
Why be so impulsive?
The money from that check they gave you just now, and that ne, you should have taken them first!
Take it to buy toys, snacks for Ziyang, anything!
Deal with other thingster.
A full million there, you just tore it to pieces, are you a pig! Stupid pig! Su Wenwen was so angry that she looked up to the sky and howled,
¡°Ahhhhhh¡.¡±
¡°Su fellow student?¡±
A clear and gentle male voice suddenly came from behind.
Su Wanwan quickly closed her mouth and turned around to look.
She saw Di Chenghe standing on the steps behind her, seemingly just havinge downstairs.
He was wearing a dark navy coat, his ck jeans wrapping around his long legs, slightly tilting his head, he exuded a friendly elegance.
¡°What happened?¡± he asked, ¡°Did something happen?
¡°Nothing.¡± Su Wanwan was embarrassed.
She didn¡¯t know how much he had seen¡
She could only nod respectfully at him, ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m going to ss.¡± ¡°Speak up if something is bothering you.¡± Di Chenghe spoke softly, full of concern, ¡°I saw what happened at the forumst time. Even though the innocent have nothing to fear, you should have cleared things up sooner. Don¡¯t keep things bottled up, it¡¯s not good for your health..¡±
Chapter 385: 385, the tigress is investigating strictly
Chapter 385: the tigress is investigating strictly
¡°Just tell me what¡¯s bothering you.¡± Di Chenghe spoke gently, full of concern, ¡°I saw what happened at the forumst time. Though the innocent can stand tall, you should have rified it sooner. Don¡¯t keep all the trouble to yourself; it¡¯s not good for your health.¡±
Su Wanwan felt even more embarrassed.
So in his view, she had be a shy, timid female ssmate.
¡°Thankyou, teacher.¡± Su Wanwan held onto her polite manners. ¡°I have to go back to ss now.¡±
Di Chengheughed, ¡°Sure, go on.¡±
Su Wanwan quickly turned around, only to trip on something in her way.
¡°Ouch!¡±
She stumbled and almost fell.
¡°Hehehe¡¡± Di Chenghe let out a series of suppressedughs.
Damn it.
Su Wanwan blushed furiously, didn¡¯t look back, and almost ran away with her face beet red.
How bloody embarrassing!
**
Upon returning to the ssroom, Li Mochou looked at her with displeasure, but he didn¡¯t say anything.
As soon as Su Wanwan sat down, Mo Weiyi sidled over. ¡°Wanwan, why did the homeroom teacher call you?¡±
¡°For nothing.¡±
¡°If it was nothing, then why were you absent for the entire ss?¡± Mo Weiyi pouted. ¡°Baby Wanwan, you don¡¯t love me anymore. You don¡¯t tell me the truth, am I not your precious baby anymore?¡±
This made Su Wanwan shiver, ¡°You have Xiaobai, and he loves you. That¡¯s enough.¡±
¡°True.¡± Mo Weiyi smiled sweetly. ¡°But I still want to know why the homeroom teacher called you.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°Concentrate on your studies!¡±
Li Mochou, who was at the lectern, immediately looked over because she was too loud, ¡°What are you doing so noisily during ss?¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately sat up straight, not daring to act up again.
The English ss ended quickly.
In fact, throughout the lesson, Su Wanwan¡¯s mind was elsewhere. She came to the conclusion that she should ask Huo Jingshen for advice.
After all, he is Fu Ziyang¡¯s guardian in China.
Moreover, he should also know some inside information about Fu Ziyang¡¯s mother.
On the off chance that Lu Zixi really is Fu Ziyang¡¯s mother and even if she is an irresponsible woman, thepensation she should give to Ziyang should be returned to him in full!
In this case, letting Huo Jingshen negotiate would be more persuasive than if she did it herself.
So, when Mo Weiyi was ordering food in the cafeteria, Su Wanwan dialed Huo Jingshen¡¯s number.
**
At that moment, Huo Jingshen was dining with several city officials in a private room at a hotel, apanied by severalpany managers and his assistant, JiJie.
Just as the wine was flowing, his smartphone rang.
After a nce at the caller ID, he stood up straight away, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I need to take this call.¡±
One of the officials clearly wasn¡¯t pleased, ¡°Mr. Huo, this isn¡¯t proper. I¡¯ve just raised my ss and you say you¡¡±
He was twenty years older than Huo Jingshen and also the deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. As soon as he spoke, Huo Yuan¡¯s subordinates immediately looked uneasy.
After all, no matter how incredibly wealthy the Huo family was, they were still businessmen in China, and it was these governmental officials that they could least afford to offend. If they upset them, their future contract signings could be blocked, and that would be a real headache.
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t lose hisposure, and even cracked a small smile, ¡°My wife at home is fairly strict. If I don¡¯t answer this call, I might not even be allowed to sleep in our bed when I get home. Excuse me, gentlemen, I need a moment.¡±
Everyone:
Only after Huo Jingshen had left did they react.
¡°So Mr. Huo is married despite being so young?¡±
¡± And he¡¯ s whipped ? ¡±
¡°What a good man!¡±
¡°Very rare¡¡±
JiJie: ¡°¡¡±
**
In the corridor outside the private room.
On the phone, Su Wanwan told him all about the morning events and then asked him, ¡°Is Lu Zixi really Ziyang¡¯s mother?¡±
¡°No.¡± Huo Jingshen immediately denied it.
¡°Then why did theye looking for me? Do you know she gave me a check for a million on the spot and a pearl ne that could be sold for four or five million? She also said they would give me five million to keep mum in the future and another fifty thousand every month thereafter. Wow, that¡¯s so much money¡¡±
Huo Jingshen massaged his temples, a faint smile in his eyes.
Yes, so much money.
He didn¡¯t expect this brat who was always short on cash to refuse it when money was delivered to her.
The next second.
¡°Why did I tear that check up so impulsively! Ahhhh, I regret it so much. I feel like I¡¯m falling apart¡¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
He retracted his previous thought.
Su Wanwan sighed in frustration, then asked, ¡°Are you sure that Lu Zixi is not Ziyang¡¯s mother?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then who is Zi Yang¡¯s mom?
Huo Jingshen stuffed a cigarette between his thin lips, took a puff, and slowly responded, ¡°His mom is in Y Country.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Su Wanwan asked another question, ¡°What should I do if Lu Zixies looking for me again?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that,¡± Jingshen finished and added, ¡°And don¡¯t tell Zi Yang.¡±
¡°I understand. Better not build up too much hope and end up with bigger disappointment,¡± Wanwan stated in an earnest tone.
Huo Jingshen let out a quietugh, ¡°So, Baby is this understanding now?¡±
Fu Zi Yang was only five years old, a stage when he was still yearning for a mother¡¯s love.
Ever since he learned Xiu Xin wasn¡¯t his biological mother, he would not only consider running away from home without telling anyone but would also start a covert private investigation.
If Lu Zixi were to find him and tell him that she¡¯s his mom, but then a paternity test showed that she¡¯s not, the blow would be rather severe.
With a few light coughs, Su Wanwan remarked, ¡°Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about this. I¡¯m going to have dinner now, goodbye.¡±
¡°What are you having?¡± Huo Jingshen asked, seemingly intrigued.
With no other choice, Su Wanwan began listing her dishes, ¡°Hot chili fish head, stir-fried pork, charcoal-smoked tofu, sour cabbage fish, old duck¡¡±
¡°Haha,¡± Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t help but interrupt her, ¡°You¡¯re leaving your husband alone at home while you enjoy such fancy meals at school. You¡¯re living quite the good life, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like I have this every day. Today Weiyi is treating,¡± she replied.
Huo Jingshen:
After hanging up, Huo Jingshen stood in the hallway, sucked thest bit of his cigarette, and then dialed another number.
¡°Uncle Huo?¡±
¡°Zi Yang,¡± Huo Jingshen replied, eyes narrowed, ¡°The cold front is approaching, it¡¯s going to be chilly. After school, wait in the ssroom for the driver¡¯s call, don¡¯t wait at the school gate.¡±
¡°I understand, Uncle Huo.¡±
¡°Okay, hanging up now.¡±
¡°Goodbye, Uncle Huo.¡±
**
Wellington School.
As soon as Fu Zi Yang hung up his little cellphone, he heard the ss teacher¡¯s voice.
¡°Has everyone handed in the weekend¡¯s essay homework to the ss monitor?¡±
¡°Yes!¡± the children chorused.
¡°This Friday evening, we¡¯re taking a trip to the Phoenix Mountain Hot Spring Resort. Make sure your parents prepare your swimsuits in advance, and you can also bring some toys. We will organizepetitions, and there will be awards for the winners.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
As soon as the teacher left, Shi Luoluo, who shared a desk with Fu Zi Yang, asked, ¡°Fu Zi Yang, are you going to join us at the hot spring?¡±
Fu ZiYang nodded.
¡°Really?¡± Shi Luoluo could barely believe it.
After all, aside from attending school every day, Fu Zi Yang had never participated in any of the school¡¯s parent-child activities before.
Fu Zi Yang pursed her little mouth and said, ¡°Uncle Huo and Aunt Wanwan areing with me. Yesterday, we even went shopping for swimsuits.¡±
¡°Wow¡¡± Shi Luoluo¡¯s eyes widened in envy, ¡°But my parents are very busy with their work. They¡¯re currently overseas. Only Huanhuan is willing to go with me.¡±
How she envied that Fu Zi Yang had an uncle and an aunt to go with him.
¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll y with you when the timees.¡± Fu Zi Yang replied, lowering his head somewhat awkwardly.
¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Shi Luoluo didn¡¯t notice any of this, her little mouth lifted into a big smile, ¡°Let¡¯s y with Prince Bo together then!¡±
FuZiYang:¡±¡¡±
Could we not always include that chubby little boy every time we y?
This third wheel was really annoying!
**
Huangyou Investments.
The Secretary¡¯s Office.
¡°Secretary Shi, your courier.¡± A front deskdy came over and put down a parcel.
¡°What did you buy, Miss Shi?¡±
Shi Huan was studying a document on herputer and didn¡¯t have time to intervene. Her assistant, Xiaoliu, had already picked up the parcel.
¡°Arenna fashionable women¡¯s one-piece bikini¡¡±
ShiHuan:¡±¡¡±
She lifted her head and stretched out her hand.
Xiaoliu immediately returned it, her face flushed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Shi.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Shi Huan didn¡¯t seem too perturbed, as she picked up the parcel.
¡°What bikini?¡± a casual male voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Startled, Xiaoliu turned around swiftly and quickly returned to her seat.
The others all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
Chu Xiuhuang was leaning casually against the door frame, his hands pocketed in his suit trousers.
With a faint smirk on his thin lips, his eyes squinted slightly.
Chapter 386: 386, disliked by others
Chapter 386: disliked by others
The angle of his leaning posture made his legs seem exceptionally long.
However, in the secretary¡¯s office, no one was in the mood to admire his long legs. Everyone was standing on eggshells, feeling that their boss had been a bit off these past few days.
He used to be elusive, making an appearance once a week was good enough.
But these days, not only was heing in from nine to five, but he also attended all kinds of meetings big and small. This threw the wholepany into a state of unease, even suspecting that he was nning toy off staff at the end of the year.
After all, many unscrupulous bosses liked to do this. They could save arge sum of year-end bonuses and social insurance payments, then hire cheaper neers¡
Seeing no one talking, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his long eyebrows, looking towards Shi Huan, ¡°Secretary Shi?¡±
Shi Huan had no choice but to stand up and respond, ¡°Nothing in particr. Mr. Chu, do you need anything from me?¡±
However, Chu Xiuhuang nced at the parcel on her desk, answering her question irrelevantly, ¡°So Secretary Shi¡ you like this kind of bikini, huh?¡±
The corner of Shi Huan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly.
Someone couldn¡¯t hold back a ¡°pfft¡± sound, quickly covering their mouth.
Because she needed to apany the little miss to her ss¡¯s hot spring trip this weekend, Shi Huan had been too busy with work to go shoppingtely. So, she ordered a swimsuit online a few days ago.
Actually, it was just a very conservative ck one-piece swimsuit, she had no idea why when it was delivered, the description on the package was so sensational?
However, she was toozy to exin such a trivial matter in response.
¡°Since Secretary Shi has bought a new swimsuit.¡± Chu Xiuhuang gave a slight smile, ¡°This week, let¡¯s have the department¡¯s team-building activity in the hotsprings.¡±
The usually quiet secretary¡¯s office instantly erupted with noise.
¡°Wow, hotsprings!¡±
¡°Did I hear that right?¡±
¡°Amazing!¡±
¡°Long live Mr. Chu!¡±
¡°Thank you, Mr. Chu!¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee. You¡¯ve all been working hard this year, eating meals for team building all the time is not interesting. Let¡¯s consider this one a way of giving back to the employees.¡± Chu Xiuhuang smiled radiantly, ¡°Secretary Shi, you can arrange itter¡¡±
¡°Sorry.¡± Shi Huan suddenly interjected, ¡°Mr. Chu, I won¡¯t be able to attend this team-building event.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Chu Xiuhuang retracted his smile, ¡°Reason?¡±
¡°I already have ns this weekend.¡±
ns?
With another man?
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s phoenix eyes narrowed in an instant.
So, that so-called swimsuit was specially bought for a man to see?
This secretary actually has a man?
No wonder she bit his lips until they broke during their kiss that night.
Secretary Shi would turn twenty-five after the new year, it would be normal for her to have a man, but¡
He quickly looked her up and down, examining her closely.
This woman had always worn this nun-like outfit in front of him, no matter the season, it never changed.
Even during the scorching summer, she still wore this suit and trousersbo. She hardly ever showed her legs, let alone wore skirts.
He even suspected that like those shampoo brands, she bought a dozen identical suits in bulk during a big sale.
That made him chuckle.
In front of him, she was cold and reserved, even conservative. But in private, she goes out on dates with men and wears this kind of swimsuit?
He couldn¡¯t help but imagine a tiny bikini that only covered the key areas and was held together by a thin string.
With a stern look on his handsome face, Chu Xiuhuang straightened his tall body, ¡°Then let Xiaoliu arrange it. This weekend, all the secretaries are going to go skiing.¡±
¡°Ski¡skiing?¡± Xiaoliu was so taken aback by this turnaround that he almost started stuttering.
What happened to the agreed hot spring trip? Why did it suddenly turn into skiing?
Chu Xiuhuang raised his head arrogantly, ¡°Strengthen your body, enhance resistance.¡±
Having said that, he turned around and left.
A few secondster,ints filled the secretary¡¯s office:
¡°Why is Mr. Chu so unpredictable?¡±
¡°Exactly, it¡¯s so cold, it would¡¯ve been so nice to soak in a hot spring!¡±
¡°I hate skiing the most, it¡¯s freezing cold, and you have to wear those thick ski suits!¡±
¡°So ugly!¡±
¡°And we might fall!¡±
¡°Secretary Shi is so lucky, she doesn¡¯t need to go through all that!¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m really envious of Secretary Shi!¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
**
As soon as Chu Xiuhuang returned to his office, he started feeling upset.
From the first day he met this woman, she was always cold and distant.
After working with him for five or six years, nothing changed.
Last time she merely brushed her small mouth against him, she bit him until his lips bled. Now she is turning around to go on a date with another man?
And wearing a bikini?
Damn it!
Is he, Chu Xiuhuang, so detestable?
Thus, throughout the afternoon, the staff at Huangyou felt as if they were walking in a minefield.
When a newly graduated intern ran out of the president¡¯s office crying¡
No one dared to step into Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s office so casually anymore.
Documents that needed to be signed were put off until tomorrow, perhaps by then Chu would return to his normal mood.
Everyone¡¯s thoughts were aligned: Chu, isn¡¯t it better to remain the wealthy, idling son you always were? At least thepany¡¯s secretary Shi Huan is pulling her weight.
**
Five o¡¯clock in the afternoon.
The door was suddenly knocked a few times.
¡°Come in,¡± Chu Xiuhuang yelled, slouched on his executive chair, his legs propped high on the desk, his demeanor nonchnt and untamed.
Upon seeing the woman entering, he raised his brow, ¡°Who let you in?¡±
¡°Hello, Mr. Chu, my name is Wu Shanshan.¡±
Wu Shanshan entered carrying a fur coat, currently sporting a fiery red evening gown, an off-shoulder low-neck ultra short style, her wavy long hair resting over her shoulders.
Her movements were making Chu Xiuhuang dizzy.
She didn¡¯t dare to be disrespectful, only constantly scratching her head and adjusting her posture, whining in a coquettish voice, ¡°Mr. Chu, Ms. Shi said I will be apanying you to Huashang¡¯s banquet tonight. Do you think¡ I¡¯m dressed appropriately?¡±
¡°Ms. Shi?¡± Chu Xiuhuang squinted, his tone somewhat dangerous.
¡°Yes.¡± Wu Shanshan flipped her hair, making sure not to block her bosom.
Apanying Mr. Chu to a banquet is an opportunity many women throughout Nancheng would envy. She needed to seize this chance!
Maybe she could elevate her status¡
¡°You can leave now.¡±
Wu Shanshan¡¯s dream burst in an instant, stunned for a moment, she finally found her voice, ¡°But Ms. Shi said that everything is set and I¡¯ve also paired this dress with matching jewelry, Mr. Chu¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang impatiently picked up the phone, quickly pressed the inte, and tersely spoke three words:
¡°Get in here!¡±
Within ten seconds, the office door was knocked once more. Shi Huan walked in, ¡°Mr. Chu.¡±
¡°Little Huanhuan, you are truly a good secretary to me.¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face radiated coldness, and he wore a sinister sardonic smile, ¡°Did I ask you to arrange for me a femalepanion, huh?¡±
Shi Huan was neither humble nor overbearing, ¡°Mr. Chu, all the blind dates arranged by your grandfather have already ended.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s why you¡¯ve arranged a woman?¡±
Shi Huan was speechless, ¡°Mr. Chu, are you dissatisfied with Miss Wu?¡±
She had carefully reviewed the information.
Five feet, seven inches tall, size 38, D cup, 24 years old, and she¡¯s a model.
Cloaked in that red evening dress, entuating her good figure. If he brought her out¡ it wouldn¡¯t be embarrassing at all, right?
¡°Bang!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang mmed his fist on the table, ¡°I¡¯m unsatisfied with you!¡±
To the side, Wu Shanshan was somewhat frightened.
Left with no choice, Shi Huan spoke up, ¡°MissWu, I¡¯msorry, could you please leave first?¡±
Wu Shanshan¡¯s face flushed, baffled, ¡°Ms. Shi, are you asking me to leave now? But my dress and jewelry are all¡¡±
¡°You can email me the receiptster, I¡¯ll reimburse you.¡±
Upon hearing Shi Huan¡¯ s words, Wu Shanshan immediately nodded, ¡® ¡®Alright then.¡±
Despite her unwillingness, she could only leave with a faint smile.
At least she scored a set of evening wear and jewelry.
Once the door closed, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice once again hung in the air with a cold chill, ¡°Ms. Shi, are you doing this on purpose?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, what do you mean?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t healed my lips and you¡¯re already arranging femalepanions for me?¡± Chu Xiuhuang thumped the table with each word, the usation intense.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Actually, she really wants to say¡
But such crass words, she ultimately couldn¡¯t utter.
Pressing her fingers together, she spoke up again, ¡°What do you mean then, Mr. Chu?¡±
¡°Tonight you¡¯ll apany me to the banquet.¡± Chu Xiuhuang leaned back in his chair, ordering around.
¡°Alright,¡± Shi Huan nodded, without any strong feelings of resistance.
After all, it was not the first time. Whenever Mr. Chu was not happy with the femalepanion she chose, she would always apany him instead.
¡°But your outfit isn¡¯t eptable,¡± Chu Xiuhuang began to nitpick again, ¡°Change into a skirt, don¡¯t tarnish the image of Huangyou.¡±
Shi Huan pushed her sses up, ¡°Mr. Chu, I am but a secretary.¡±
¡°Secretaries also represent the image of thepany.¡±
¡± I¡¯m notfortable wearing skirts.¡±
¡°Then start getting used to it now.¡±
Chapter 387: 387, deliberately annoying me
Chapter 387: deliberately annoying me
After a brief silence.
¡°I understand.¡± Shi Huan responded in her usual business-like tone, ¡°Does Mr.
Chu have any other orders?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll go and prepare.¡±
Once the door closed, a mischievous smile yed on Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s lips.
Secretary Shi dressing in a skirt?
Well, why do I suddenly look forward to it?
*
Tonight, there¡¯s a jewelry exhibition banquet on the second floor of Huashang Hotel.
in such events, men usually showed off their riches while womenpeted in beauty and charm.
In the past, Chu Xiuhuang would always bring a femalepanion to such events, be it an inte celebrity, a model, a female star, or a socialite.
Born into nobility and blessed with handsome features, Chu Xiuhuang always made a showy appearance, capturing everyone¡¯s attention and flooding Weibo and gossip forums the next day.
But today-
in the car heading to the hotel, Chu Xiuhuang, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Shi Huan sitting beside him with a look of distaste.
He asked her to change into a skirt.
True, she did, but she chose a ck A-line skirt that matched her ck suit. The skirt¡¯s length reached her knees and was impermeable, making her look old-fashioned.
What¡¯s worse, she wore thick ck stockings underneath.
Is this¡
any different?
Did she not just substitute trousers for a skirt?
Therefore¡
¡°Secretary Shi, are you really so fond of the color ck?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked, genuinely curious and raising an eyebrow.
She wore ck suits year-round, and most of her other clothes were also ck. Shouldn¡¯t a girl her age like dressing up like Mo Weiyi, prefer brightly coloured, shy clothes?
¡°ck is versatile.¡± Shi Huan¡¯s reply was straightforward.
Chu Xiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
After a while.
¡°Secretary Shi, take off your sockster.¡±
¡°¡¡± Shi Huan quickly nced at her boss beside her, ¡°Mr. Chu, the temperature in Nancheng drops to minus one degree after 6 o¡¯clock.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°The banquet is indoors, what are you afraid of cold for?¡±
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Taking them off and putting them back on is troublesome
and can easily cause a cold.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang felt like hitting someone, ¡°When I tell you to take them off, just do it. Where does all this nonsensee from? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡Okay.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fists out of frustration.
How could she be so verbose?
Are other people¡¯s secretaries also this annoying?
A boss annoyed by his secretary?
Or has he been spoiling her too much over the years?
Upon this thought, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face turned serious, his voice more stern and cold, ¡°Secretary Shi, I don¡¯t want to repeat myself a third time when I speak. You must do whatever I ask, understand?¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Her obedient answer finally made Chu Xiuhuang feel a little better.
*
*
Upon reaching Huashang Hotel, Shi Huan parked the car in the VIP parking spot, ¡°Mr. Chu, you go in first, I¡¯m going to the restroom to take off my socks.¡± ¡°Why bother going that far! Just take them off right here!
Shi Huan was taken aback, ¡°Here?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like waiting for women. You take them off here, and we 11 go in
together once you¡¯re done.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s just a pair of socks, not anything else.¡± Saying so, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face broke into his habitual wicked grin, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Little Huanhuan, are you shy?¡±
Shi Huan didn¡¯t think she had anything to be shy about, so she casually said,
¡°In that case, it¡¯s bothering Mr. Chu to close his eyes.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Chu Xiuhuang refused outright.
Shi Huan:
She looked at him, through the thick lenses, his eyes were clear and bright,
with a hint of iprehension.
In the end, it was Chu Xiuhuang whopromised.
¡°Fine.¡±
He turned his face towards the window. ¡°This should be enough, right? Did you know that you are the first woman in this world who doesn¡¯t even let me look at her in front of me! So many women have stripped their clothes off, begging me to look, I don¡¯t even give a damn about them, but you, heh.¡¯
¡°Thankyou, Mr. Chu.¡± Shi Huan arched her brow sarcastically. Seeing him turn his face away, she immediately started.
At this moment, she was very d for her summer office attire. She was wearing real stockings under her dress, not pantyhose.
Otherwise, she would rather die than perform this kind of act in the car.
She bowed her head, trying not to lift her dress, pulling the stocking on her left leg down to her knee from under her dress first, and then doing the same to the stocking on her right leg.
Then she bent over, took off the two shoes on her feet, lifted her legs, and took off the two stockingspletely, one after the other.
Her heart was undistracted, but she didn¡¯t know that Chu Xiuhuang, although his face was turned away, watched her from start to finish through the rear- view mirror.
He initially thought Secretary Shi was overly conservative, even making such a fuss over removing her stockings, asking him to close his eyes, as if afraid that he would see something indecent?
Only when he realized that the angle of the rear-view mirror on the right was not adjusted properly, he could see the woman¡¯s movements from his position¡
Chu Xiuhuang smirked and shamelessly watched.
He watched the woman carefully pull her ck stockings from under her skirt, bit by bit.
Especially in the end, she lifted her leg, under her ck dress, her calf was bent-
Straight, slender, beautifully proportioned, even her kneecaps looked delicate and beautiful, under the bright car lights, her legs looked white¡ it was slightly dazzling.
After her legs were returned to their position, Shi Huan rolled up her stockings and put them in her bag. She then fixed her skirt and calmly said, ¡°All done, Mr. Chu. We can go now.¡±
But Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t move.
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Mr. Chu?¡±
Following his line of sight out the window, she thought there might be a beautiful woman passing by that caught his attention, but instead¡
¡°Get out of the car first and go wait for me inside.¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice finally sounded, but he sounded like he suddenly had a cold, his voice was hoarse. Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows even more, ¡°Mr. Chu, what¡¯s wrong?
Chu Xiuhuang, with his face still turned to the side, said, ¡°Wait for me in the banquet hall on the second floor.¡±
II II
Despite the confusion¡ Thinking of what Chu Xiuhuang had said earlier, not wishing to repeat himself a third time¡
Shi Huan nodded, ¡°Mr. Chu, I will go wait for you.¡±
Having said that, she immediately got out of the car.
Chu Xiuhuang remained seated in the same position, his head only turned after she had gotten out of the car, his eagle-like gaze following her slender figure through the car window.
Night fell, with the first lights of the evening shining.
The men and womening and going on the first floor were all dressed up to attend the banquet.
Men in suits, women in magnificent dresses, and then there was her, in a simple and conservative ck suit, with shoulder-length hair.
Perhaps because it was cold, after a few steps, she started to run.
¡°Damn!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang abruptly cursed.
His slender eyes were filled with shock and regret.
What the hell!
What is happening to him? Why again¡
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly fell into an unprecedented confusion.
*
*
Second floor, banquet hall.
Shi Huan entered the hall and took a look, then walked towards the sofa area in the corner.
She was nning to wait for Chu Xiuhuang quietly, and then apany him for the banquet. However¡
¡°Shi Huan?¡±
Shi Huan looked up and saw the neer. She had to stand up. ¡°Ms. Chu.¡± Chu Jingyi was wearing a red evening gown that entuates her figure. She raised her hand and put them together, her meticulously made-up face was cold, ¡°So tonight, are you once again ¡®filling in¡¯ as my brother¡¯s date?
She emphasized the words ¡®filling in¡¯.
Shi Huan nodded indifferently, ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Shi Huan, how many times do I have to tell you? You can¡¯t be that dense, can you?¡±
There was no one else in the sofa area. Chu Jingyi spoke without sugar-coating, ¡°My brother only felt sorry for you back then, which was why he allowed you, a high school dropout, to work with him. Over the years, he has done more than enough for you and the Shi family. If you leave now and go to any otherpany, I guarantee your ie would not be lower than it is at Huangyou, it might even be higher.¡±
¡°Ms. Chu, you have misunderstood,¡± Shi Huan¡¯s voice was calm and undisturbed, ¡°I have worked at Huangyou for five years and I¡¯m ustomed to it. As long as Mr. Chu doesn¡¯t fire me, I don¡¯t see a reason to quit.¡±
¡°So you want to cling to my brother?¡± Chu Jingyi sneered, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain. ¡°You used to be so secretive. Ever since I returned to Nancheng, tell me, how many times have you tried to get in touch with our Chu family?¡±
Chapter 388: 388, do you despise me this much?
Chapter 388: do you despise me this much?
¡°So you¡¯re trying to stick to my brother, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Chu Jingyi curled her red lips, her eyes full of undisguised contempt for Shi Huan. ¡°You used to keep it slightly hidden, but ever since I returned to Nancheng, how many times have you tried to contact the Chu family?¡± She began to count.
¡°First, you came with Ahuang to attend my grandfather¡¯s birthday party, then you entered our mansion using the kids as an excuse. Are you trying to use the Chu family as a stepping stone? And getting along so well with Su Wanwan? Now, this is the second time you¡¯ve apanied my brother to a public event.¡± Shi Huan saw the tall and slender figure approaching them. She quickly excused herself, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I need to leave for a moment.¡±
Just when she was about to leave, Chu Jingyi suddenly grabbed her arm, ¡°we¡¯re not finished talking yet. Did I tell you that you can leave?¡±
After she finished speaking, Chu Jingyi gave a fierce push.
Chu Jingyi was one meter seven four tall and was wearing almost ten centimeters high heels.
Shi Huan, who was just one meter six five tall and wearing ck heels, was pushed backward onto the couch due to the strong push and height difference.
It didn¡¯t really hurt, but Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice rang out in discontent, ¡°Sis, what are you doing?¡±
Chu Jingyi was taken aback.
Turning around, her face returning to its usual noble ice-cold expression, ¡°Ahuang, can¡¯t you find another femalepanion? Why did you bring this woman again today¡¡±
¡°What I asked was¡¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, his handsome face expressionless, lips tight, jaw clenched, each word precise, ¡°What exactly are you doing?¡±
For the first time, Chu Jingyi saw an emotion resembling anger on his face.
In an instant, she clenched her fists, ¡°Ahuang, are you ming me?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang came over and extended his hand to Shi Huan who was on the sofa.
Shi Huan was somewhat perplexed, not understanding his intentions.
Then, Chu Xiuhuang bent over slightly, and directly took her hand with his.
With a hard pull, Shi Huan was pulled up to her feet by him.
Following that, Chu Xiuhuang tugged at her again.
Before she could let out an exmation, Shi Huan¡¯s shoulder was already held by a strong hand, the man¡¯s firm and tight heat transferring to her.
Chu Xiuhuang ced one hand on her shoulder, pulling her close beside him.
He lifted his chin and spoke with his cold, proud lips, ¡°Miss Shi is mypanion for tonight. Disrespecting her means disrespecting me. So, sister, are you trying to p my face?¡±
¡°Do you even understand what you¡¯re saying?¡± Chu Jingyi challenged.
Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, warning her with a low and threatening tone, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see this again. Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for not considering our familial ties.¡±
With that said, Chu Xiuhuang strode away with his arm around Shi Huan.
Chu Jingyi stood there, stunned for a long moment.
Her younger brother had always been stubborn and unruly since childhood. As he grew older, he garnered quite an unsavory reputation outside. However, in the Chu family, a schstic aristocratic family who pay great attention to their reputation, he¡¯s always been polite and humble.
But just now, was he warning her?
Did Ahuang, who had always been extremely respectful to his twin sister, actually threaten her because of that lowly woman?
Was he warning her?
Chu Jingyi struggled to ept this reality.
Once they reached the lobby, Shi Huan immediately asked, ¡°Mr. Chu, you can let go of me now.¡±
His hand on her shoulder, even though it was through her clothes, felt like a hot potato and made her feel very ufortable.
Especially at this banquet tonight. All the influential figures of Nancheng had been invited, including some familiar faces from other affluent families. Chu Xiuhuang was like a shining star, stealing attention wherever he went¡
She had already noticed many people looking over, both men and women, and whispering amongst themselves.
However, she didn¡¯t want to see her photos all over the gossip forums the next day.
¡°Mr. Chu?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang acted as if he didn¡¯t hear, and continued walking with her in his arms.
He even felt quitefortable in this position.
In public, it¡¯s usually the femalepanion who would hook her arm through his.
He had a strong dislike for physical contact, considering their makeup vulgar and their perfume low quality.
Even touching his fingers made him feel like it was unsanitary.
So this was his first time holding a woman like this in public.
She¡¯s so petite!
She only reached up to his chest. His arm looselyy on her shoulder, it was veryfortable, very easy.
As they walked, they touched slightly. He could smell the natural freshness that came from her.
So this is what it felt like when couples walk arm in arm?
It seemed quite nice.
Just as he was about to enjoy the moment a bit more¡
¡°Mr. Chu!¡±
Shi Huan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, she directly stopped walking and stood by the side.
Her arm slid down.
The vanishing touch made Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyebrows knit together in displeasure. Seeing Shi Huan was also frowning, he blurted out, ¡°Do you really hate me that much?¡±
Shi Huan was taken aback, ¡°What dislike?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang,¡±¡¡±
A few secondster, he opened his thin lips again, calmly and without a trace of panic, ¡°What I mean to say is, can¡¯t you just lift (dislike) your hair?¡±
As expected, Shi Huan immediately countered, ¡°Why should I lift my hair?¡± Why did she feel that Master Chu was being oddtely?
She had known him for so many years and worked together for five, but the recent Chu Xiuhuang seemed like a different person.
She hardly recognized him anymore.
Chu Xiuhuang slowly put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and hooked one side of his thin lips, watching her with a smile that wasn¡¯t really a smile.
The banquet hall¡¯s luxurious crystal chandelier hung overhead, and the light poured down, making Shi Huan look small standing in front of him.
Her ck suit made her look even more delicate and beautiful, her mid-length ck hair that hadn¡¯t been styled, hung down either side of her face, glowing softly under the light.
But her face was almostpletely covered by her hairstyle and ck-frame sses. It was hard to see her features, only revealing her small nose and pink lips.
She didn¡¯t even wear any lipstick, but he had known how sweet they were at the club that night.
An emotion shed through his eyes.
Then, he suddenly reached out.
Because it was so sudden, Shi Huan was not prepared at all. She felt a light touch on her nose, a blur shed before her eyes, and her biack-framed sses fell into Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s hand.
Without the cover of the dark-rimmed sses, her small and white face was revealed, her beautiful eyes just staring at him, their expressions bewildered and lost, looking pitiful.
Chu Xiuhuang was slightly startled for a moment.
In just a few seconds, a series of images shed through his mind so quickly that he couldn¡¯t catch them¡
Then, Shi Huan had reacted. She quickly snatched the ck-framed sses from Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s hand and hastily put them back on.
¡°Why did you take off my sses?¡± she asked angrily.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyebrows twitched, and he coughed lightly before responding, ¡°Why would you wear such fake-looking sses when you clearly don¡¯t have myopia?¡±
He had seen nearsighted people wearing sses before, which had degrees circled on the lens, which Shi Huan¡¯s sses didn¡¯t have.
¡°Because it makes me look more mature, which is conducive to work.¡± Shi Huan answered, revealing nothing.
Chu Xiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
His eyes narrowed, he was just about to speak¡
¡°Xiuhuang.¡±
Shi Huan quickly turned around. Seeing the neer, she immediately nodded with a light smile, ¡°Mr. Huo.¡±
The one who arrived was Huo Jingshen.
In his meticulously tailored ck suit, he was elegant and noble, but¡
¡°Big brother.¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you bring that little girl of yours?¡±
Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips casually, ¡°She¡¯s been busy preparing for her final exam.¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re all by yourself, married but
no sex life, you¡ what exactly are you picturing, huh?¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
Nancheng University.
It was already nine 0 ¡®clock when Su Wanwan returned to her dormitory. She put down her book and was about to take a bath when her phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, she saw that Huo Jingshen had sent some photos.
There were several, all of jewelry, with a line of text at the bottom: [Baby, which one do you like?]
So Su Wanwan examined them carefully.
Pearl earrings?
She usually didn¡¯t wear any, and the design in this photo was too exaggerated for her everyday wear.
Ruby ne?
Last time, Huo Jingshen bought a jade ne, and she hadn¡¯t really worn it, but since she already had it, she didn¡¯t need another.
Jade bracelet?
Su Wanwan thought of the priceless heirloom bracelet that Mrs. Huo had given her. It was nicer and more expensive than this one.
A ring?
At this point, Huo Jingshen sent another message, [You have to choose one!] Helpless, Su Wanwan randomly copied the picture of a ring from the chat box and sent it back.
[Let¡¯s go with this one.]
Chapter 389: 389, Declaring Sovereignty?
Chapter 389: Dering Sovereignty?
Who would have thought¡
[So, the sweetheart wants to wear a wedding ring with her husband to stake her im?]
Su Wanwan was taken aback. Was this wedding ring?
Why was there only one ring in the picture?
And its price was the lowest¡
**
**
Banquet hall.
Chu Xiuhuang slipped one hand into his suit trousers pocket, leaning against a ss cab, with a smirk, said seductively, ¡°You,e over.¡±
The staff immediately scrambled over to attend to him, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you see any jewelry you like?¡±
¡°This one ring.¡±
¡°Mr. Chu has a good eye. Actually, thises in a pair for a man and a woman, a limited edition worldwide under this brand. There are only five pairs in China and they can be used as wedding rings.¡± The staff were brown-nosing, ¡°Would Mr. Chu like to try it on? If the size isn¡¯t right, we can adjust it immediately.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s smile deepened, ¡°Sure.¡±
After saying that, he waved a couple of times to the back.
So, Shi Huan, who was originally talking with a client, had no choice but toe over, ¡°Mr. Chu.¡±
The staff had brought out the pair of diamond rings.
Chu Xiuhuang pointed with his finger, ¡°You try on.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Shi Huan didn¡¯t think too much about it.
After all, it wasn¡¯t the first time experiencing something like this. Mr. Chu was known for being a big spender,vishing gifts on women. As a secretary helping to test the quality or style¡
¡°I¡¯ll take these rings.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s cold voice suddenly resounded.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyebrows raised as he looked at the mature and distinguished man next to him, ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re not going to seize it from me, are you?¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t even nce at him, ¡°Wrap it up for me.¡±
The staff, who was about to hand one of thedies¡¯ diamond rings to Shi Huan, was immediately caught in a dilemma.
Chu Xiuhuang was the eldest son of the Chu family, reckless and audacious, known for his many scandals. He was the man everyone in Nancheng both loved and feared. Who would dare offend him?
On the other hand, Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson of the Huo family. Although he was more low-key and reserved than Mr. Chu, his wealth and family background were undeniable. The staff couldn¡¯t dare to offend him either.
What should they do?
So Chu Xiuhuang smirked, ¡°Big Brother, I saw it first.¡±
It appeared as if Huo Jingshen had only noticed his presence now. His narrow and deep eyes looked at him, his voice indifferent, ¡°What¡¯s a bachelor who doesn¡¯t even have a proper girlfriend doing buying a pair of rings?¡±
¡°Damn!¡± Chu Xiuhuang straightened up, ¡°Can¡¯t I give it to my secretary?¡±
The named secretary, Shi Huan, quickly said, ¡°Mr. Chu, I can¡¯t ept this gift.¡±
¡°If I give it to you, take it. What¡¯s all this about whether you can or can¡¯t?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, please don¡¯t make this difficult for me.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was almost choked by his own anger.
Damn it.
So many women beg for his gifts, and when he kindly gives her a ring, can she not beg him not to give it and say don¡¯t put her in a difficult position?
¡°Ms. Secretary, are you a woman?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face darkened, ¡°Have you heard the saying? Diamonds are a woman¡¯s best friend.¡±
Shi Huan adjusted her ck-rimmed sses, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you really know what the ring symbolizes?¡±
¡°Whatever it signifies, it¡¯s merely a piece of jewelry. I can gift it to whoever I want.¡± Chu Xiuhuang answered arrogantly.
Shi Huan curved the corners of her lips, ¡°But the name of this pair of diamond rings is¡¡¯Together for Life¡¯.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow again, ¡°So?¡±
The smile on Shi Huan¡¯s lips deepened as she turned to Huo Jingshen, ¡°Mr. Huo, this pair of diamond rings is very beautiful and has a great name. I¡¯m sure Mrs. Huo will love it.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang sneered immediately, ¡°His wife is busy studying every day, noting home, couldn¡¯t even make it to bed, and he¡¯s talking about ¡®Together forLife¡¯¡shh!¡±
He looked down at his ck leather shoes, then slowly turned to the shameless old man in front of him, ¡°What are you stepping on me for?¡±
Shi Huan was taken aback.
Huo Jingshen remained expressionless, only the corners of his lips curved into a faint smirk, ¡°It was just an ident.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°Huh.¡±
If you¡¯re going to im it was an ident, I¡¯ll write my name backwards!
The old man is wicked!
Narrowing his eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but lean in and whisper, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for seeing how pitiful you are in your desires, I wouldn¡¯t even give it to you.¡±
However, Huo Jingshen responded as if he hadn¡¯t heard him, and said to Shi Huan, ¡°Ms. Shi has good taste.¡±
Shi Huan could just respond with a smile.
And then, Huo Jingshen nced at Chu Xiuhuang again,unching another attack, ¡°Not like someone, who is shallow.¡±
¡°Am I shallow?¡± Chu Xiuhuang could only sneer again, ¡°Ha, you¡¯re deep, you Huo Jingshen!¡±
Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him.
A thirty-year-old man who acted like a child, so immature!
Everyone has a responsibility to love children with intellectual disabilities.
He looked at the staff with deep eyes, ¡°Can you wrap it up for me?¡±
¡°Of course, Mr. Huo.¡± The staff were overjoyed and quickly got to work.
Ten minutester.
Looking at Huo Jingshen taking his victorious leave with a triumphant back, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face was as ck as the bottom of a pot.
Unhappy!
Very unhappy!
Sowhen Shi Huan¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯ll go and attend to the guests first.¡±
¡°Stop!¡±
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Mr. Chu, do we need to try anything else?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang slipped one hand into his trousers pocket, tilted his head, gestured at all the jewelry on disy with his other hand as if he owned the ce, and in an overbearing tone, ¡°I will take everything in this disy area.¡±
Shi Huan was surprised.
Take all?
What does that mean?
But the staff¡¯s eyes immediately sparkled. They excitedly rushed over, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you mean¡ you want all the jewelry here?¡±
¡°Correct! Here! Now! I¡¯ll take all of them!¡± ChuXiuhuang¡¯s words were deliberate and emphasized. After speaking, there was an evil grin on either side of his lips, ¡°So, Ms. Shi, now all the jewelry here belongs to you. Aren¡¯t you happy?¡±
Chapter 390: 390, the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area
Chapter 390: the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area
¡°Yes, here! Now! I bought it all!¡± Chu Xiuhuang stressed every word, and raised bothers of his mouth in a wicked smile, ¡°So, Secretary Shi, all the jewelry here now belongs to you. Are you happy?¡±
Everyone around had quickly gathered, forming a circle around the two. Men apuded, and women screamed.
Shi Huan stood there,pletely dumbfounded.
**
The next morning, the inte slowed to a crawl as a variety of shy headlines flooded the front pages of all major gossip forums.
[Chu¡¯s Eldest Young Master, the man who hired the entire jewelry exhibition area!]
[Sshing billions, just for a woman¡¯s smile!)
[Nancheng¡¯s most capricious man: Chu Xiuhuang!]
[Brother Fire Emperor: The man who constantly boosts Nancheng
1 s GDP! ]
[Someone else¡¯s boss: The man who shockingly gave his secretary a whole section of exhibited jewelry! ]
The Military District¡¯spound.
Huo Family.
Morning exercise, breakfast.
After finishing, Old Master Huo sat in the Taishi Chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the first-floor living room, reading the paper, Old Lady Huo was tidying up the living room, moving to the rhythm of the ¡°Mu Guiying Takes Command¡± ying on the phonograph.
¡°Bang!¡±
Old Master Huo suddenly threw the newspaper on the floor.
¡°What¡¯s gotten into you, old man?¡± Old Lady Huo was startled.
Old Master Huo picked up the newspaper again, not uttering a word, his face straight. Yet, he ignored the news about Chu Xiuhuang.
He usually didn¡¯t pay much attention to such things, but ever since¡
¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Ahuang?¡± Old Lady Huo came over, then pointed at the picture of Shi Huan, ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡¡±
Old Lady Huo¡¯s memory isn¡¯t good, and despite trying hard, she couldn¡¯t remember the name.
¡°Old Huo, oh, everyone is here. What¡¯s going on?¡±
Old Lady Huo turned around and greeted with a grin, ¡°Old Chu, what brings you here so early?¡±
¡°Just visiting.¡± Master Chu had two walnuts in his hand. As he walked, he kept rotating them and remarked, ¡°The show is really good.¡±
And then he began to sing along, ¡°When the court is in chaos, the generals strive for promotion. But when the beacon res, Yang¡¯s family gets themander¡¯s seal¡¡±
Old Master Huo gave him a disgusted look, ¡°The family is on the verge of ruin, and you still feel like singing!¡±
Old Lady Huo couldn¡¯t help but snicker.
Master Chu was taken aback, ¡°What did you say?¡±
Old Master Huo threw the newspaper on the coffee table, ¡°Take a look for yourself, the entire entertainment section is filled with photos of your grandson!¡±
Master Chu hurried over and picked up the newspaper. ¡°Goodness, my grandson sure is handsome!¡±
Old Master Huo:
Shameless!
He counted to himself, 1,2,3.
As expected.
¡°That rascal! Wasting money again!¡± Master Chu was so furious that he almost rip the newspaper in two.
Then the next second.
¡°Isn¡¯t this Secretary Shi?¡±
¡°Right! I remember now!¡± Lady Huo also said excitedly, ¡°Her name is Shi Huan! She¡¯s Ahuang¡¯s secretary, a decent youngdy¡Why are you leaving, Old Chu?¡±
Master Chu didn¡¯t turn back.
As soon as he got back to Chu¡¯s house, he called his grandson.
The call was soon picked up, and Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s carefree voice rang out, ¡°What do you need from me this early, grandpa?¡±
¡°You rascal!¡± Old Master Chu was livid, ¡°What were you messing around withst night? Don¡¯t use your secretary as a shield every time you get into some scandalous situation with women! She¡¯s a decent youngdy, not like those cheap women you hang out with! You tormented her sister once, isn¡¯t that enough? Are you nning to torment her now?¡±
¡°Grandpa, I don¡¯t like your words, what does it mean ¡®I tormented¡¯? Was it really my fault? That incident from that year¡¡±
¡°In any case, Huanhuan hasn¡¯t had it easy these past few years, from eighteen until now, she has been working like a horse for thepany, without her, could you live the life you have today? Hurry up and rify the news, how will the Shi family view us otherwise?¡±
¡°Heh.¡± Chu Xiuhuang offered noment.
¡°You rascal, did you hear what I just said?¡±
¡°Got it, I¡¯m hanging up now, I have work to do.¡±
Master Chu checked the time, it was only a bit past eight. ¡°The sun is up from the west now, are you really going to start working?¡±
His own grandson was the smartest in the Chu family, and also the best-looking.
However, my father passed away early, and as the saying goes, ¡°A doting mother often spoils her child.¡± My mother¡¯s education was inevitably biased towards indulgence, which has nurtured my current unrestrained and domineering character.
Frowning, Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, ¡°I¡¯m ambitious, aren¡¯t you happy about it, old man?¡±
The old man kept a straight face, but soon he couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°If you can find a good girl from a good family and settle down soon, I¡¯d be even happier! It would be best if you can give me a great-grandson to hold, ah.¡±
As he spoke, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh again, ¡°Look at Ashen, he¡¯s been abroad for so many years and didn¡¯t find a wife. But once he returned to China, he quietly got married! Why don¡¯t you have anyone?¡±
ChuXiuhuangchuckled, ¡°Goodbye!¡±
Before the old master Chu could react, the call had been hung up.
**
Shi Huan had no idea that she had made the news.
She got up early, quickly dressed herself and the little girl, and then drove the Cayenne that Chu Xiuhuang had given her to take Luoluo to school.
Who knew that it would rain this morning, the road was wet and slippery, and there was a traffic ident on the third ring road. They made it to the school just in time to avoid beingte after the arduous drive.
After getting out of the car, Shi Huan held an umbre in one hand and Luoluo¡¯s with the other, and ran to the school entrance.
She held up a little umbre for the little girl and handed it to her, ¡°Alright, go to ss.¡±
Shi Luoluo held the fringed little umbre, cocking her little head to look at her, ¡°Huanhuan, have you bought the swimsuit?¡±
¡°Yes, I have.¡± Shi Huan suddenly remembered that because she had apanied Chu Xiuhuang to the banquet yesterday, the swimsuit was left in her office.
Shi Luoluo tilted her little head, ¡°Is it the matching pink one like mine?¡±
¡°Um, I bought a ck one.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you buy a pink one!¡± Shi Luoluo pouted, ¡°We said we were going to wear matching outfits!¡±
¡°Okay, next time I¡¯ll wear pink with you.¡± Shi Huan patted the little girl¡¯s head, ¡°Go into ss.¡±
Shi Luoluo looked behind her, ¡°Fu Ziyang!¡±
Shi Huan turned and saw Fu Ziyang walking over.
Dressed in a thick camouge down jacket, wearing the school¡¯s uniform underneath, he held a little ck umbre, his expression as solemn as the umbre itself.
However, when he got close, he broke into an official smile and said, ¡°Hello, sister.¡±
Shi Huan also gave a small smile, then said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m off to work.¡±
After Shi Huan left, Shi Luoluo huffed, ¡°Huanhuan tricked me again!¡±
¡°What did she trick you about?¡± Fu Ziyang asked.
¡°We agreed to wear pink swimsuits together, but she secretly bought a ck one, hmph!¡±
Fu Ziyang:
As the two were about to walk through the entrance, a woman¡¯s voice suddenly rang out from behind, ¡°Ziyang!¡±
Fu Ziyang was startled, then turned around.
He saw a man and a woman standing in front of him, the man holding a huge ck umbre, the woman standing under it. Over her red dress, she wore arge ck down jacket. It was raining and the sky was gray, she had sunsses and mask on her face, was wrapped in a thick scarf, and the hood of her down jacket was also on her head.
The outfit was bizarre to the extreme!
Scared, Shi Luoluo hid behind Fu Ziyang and whispered, ¡°Fu Ziyang, are they bad people?¡±
Scared, Shi Luoluo hid behind Fu Ziyang and whispered, ¡°Fu Ziyang, are they bad people?¡±
Fu Ziyang asked, ¡°Are you guys looking for me?¡±
Lu Zixi, somewhat excited, quickly walked forward.
Zhuo Song quickly followed with the umbre.
Upon reaching them, Lu Zixi crouched down, then removed her mask, whispering, ¡°Ziyang, it¡¯s me.¡±
Fu Ziyang looked at her.
The actress from the cinema that day!
¡°Fu Ziyang.¡± Shi Luoluo pulled at his down jacket, her little face full of fear, her voice barely a whisper, as if afraid of being overheard, ¡°Huanhuan said, we should not talk to strangers.¡±
Who knew Fu Ziyang would say, ¡°I know them.¡±
¡°Who are they to you?¡±
Fu Ziyang pursed his lips, ¡°Luoluo, you go to ss first, don¡¯t bete.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Shi Luoluo was torn. She didn¡¯t want to bete, but she was worried about Fu Ziyang¡¯s safety.
Lu Zixi quickly reassured her, ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯m not a bad person.¡±
Shi Luoluo snorted immediately, ¡°Huanhuan said that¡¯s how bad people trick children.¡±
Lu Zixi:
Fu Ziyang had to say, ¡°Luoluo, you go to ss first, I¡¯lle find you after I finish talking with them.¡±
Shi Luoluo finally nodded, ¡°Okay then.¡±
As she left, she kept looking back, feeling uneasy.
Once Shi Luoluo entered the school gate, Fu Ziyang got straight to the point, ¡°What did you want to see me for?¡±
Chapter 391: 391, Fu Ziyang has been kidnapped?
Chapter 391: Fu Ziyang has been kidnapped?
When Shi Luoluo walked into the school gate, Fu Ziyang asked straightforwardly, ¡°Did you want to speak to me about something?¡± Lu Zixi didn¡¯t know what to say.
She looked at the little boy in front of her and gradually lost her focus.
He was so beautiful.
His little face was white and tender, with delicate features.
Every bit of him exuded nobility from head to toe.
He was so different from other children his age.
Even though he was only five years old, his face showed maturity and calmness beyond his age.
Whether it was his speech, tone, or the way he treated people, he seemed like a precocious little adult.
Even their sudden visit didn¡¯t surprise or scare him. Instead, he behaved more calmly than her.
Fu Ziyang looked at her face, blinked twice and asked with his clear voice, ¡°Are you my mom?¡±
¡°I¡¡±, Lu Zixi stammered.
Fu Ziyang then asked, ¡°Are you afraid others would find out? That¡¯s why you dare not admit it?¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixi¡¯s eyes reddened, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ziyang, I didn¡¯t mean it¡ I¡¡±
Fu Ziyang nodded, ¡°All adults say the same.¡±
When his father told him about the divorce, he was furious. His father told him that Xiu Xin was not his biological mother, and that the divorce was meant to marry his biological mother. His father imed he didn¡¯t intentionally deceive him, heh.
¡°Ziyang, I¡¡±, Lu Zixi began.
¡°I have to go to ss now.¡± Fu Ziyang checked his tiny watch. He was about to bete.
Following Fu Ziyang¡¯s gaze, Lu Zixi noticed his watch.
It was a limited edition model from a renowned brand.
Being in the entertainment industry, she was somewhat familiar with luxury brands.
This brand originated from the European royal family and was initially exclusively designed and sold internally.
Because of its high-end status, without certain social standing, ordinary people simply couldn¡¯t purchase it.
The little children¡¯s watch on Fu Ziyang¡¯s wrist might not seem significant, but it cost at least millions of Euros.
Giving such an expensive watch to such a small child¡ it seemed his life over the past five years was much better than she had imagined.
¡°Ziyang.¡± Lu Zixi said, ¡°Can youe with me to a ce?¡±
¡°Where?¡±
¡°The hospital.¡±
Fu Ziyang immediately asked, ¡°Will it be for a paternity test?¡±
Lu Zixi was surprised at how smart this child was.
Next moment,
¡°I won¡¯t do it.¡±
Lu Zixi was taken aback, ¡°Why?¡±
Fu Ziyang lifted his little chin and coolly said, ¡°I just don¡¯t want to.¡±
The school bell rang, and Fu Ziyang turned around and left.
Panic-stricken, Lu Zixi tried to hold his little arm, ¡°Ziyang! Ziyang, wait!¡±
Fu Ziyang was forced to stop, he frowned and looked at her.
Zan Song was looking around all along. Seeing security looking in their direction, he quickly stepped forward and said, ¡°Let¡¯s take him to the hospital directly.¡±
Lu Zixi was hesitant, ¡°But¡ is it really right to do so?¡±
¡°You have an early morning flight to Chengdu tomorrow. Do we have time to waste?¡± After he finished speaking, Zan Song covered Fu Ziyang¡¯s mouth with one hand and picked him up with the other, heading toward the road.
Initially, Lu Zixi was worried that the little guy would yell and attract passersby or security, but unexpectedly, Fu Ziyang was quiet and cooperative during the sudden assault. He didn¡¯t make any noise.
So, they quickly left in a ck Audi.
Soon, the entrance of the school regained its peace.
**
Nangong Hospital.
Nangong Ci arrived at his office, lounging on the sofa, constantly scrolling through his phone.
Whenever he found something funny, he would screenshot it and send it to the WJY WeChat group.
In no time, he had posted more than twenty messages.
Finally someone felt provoked.
Chu Xiuhuang:[Would you finally fucking stop, Is the hospital going to shut down?]
Nangong Ci:[Xiu, I¡¯m just showing concern for my idol! How can you be so extravagant? How much did all those jewels and essories cost? Did you really give them all to your secretary?]
Lu Chenyu:[Bitch.]
Nangong CirjChen, you¡¯re calling Xiu a bitch, right?]
Lu Chenyu:[Heh.]
Nangong CirjSmiling on the outside, cursing on the inside. Chen, I get you!]
Ming Jing:[Xiu, have you really fallen out of love? Don¡¯t want Chen anymore?]
Nangong Ci:[As a fan of you guys as a pair, my heart is shattered.]
Chu Xiuhuang:[One more word, and I¡¯ll wreckyour sexual orientation!]
Lu Chenyu:[Continue heh.]
Nangong Ciughed loudly, until his phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, he hurriedly answered, ¡°Yo, Big Bro, what brings you¡¡±
Ziyang is at your hospital now. Go down and get security to detain them.¡±
What the hell! What¡¯s happening? Is someone trying to kidnap my nephew?¡± Nangong Ci stood up immediately.
When Huo Jingshen arrived at the hospital, Nangong Ci hurriedly greeted him,
Big Bro, don¡¯t worry. Those two people are held in my office. Should we call the police? Or call a reporter? Or should we hold a press conference¡¡±
¡°Where is Ziyang?¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted.
¡°Oh, our nephew is fine, don¡¯t worry. Not a hair on his head was hurt. He¡¯s eating a lollipop now.¡±
Huo Jingshen gave him a cold nce.
¡°It wasn¡¯t me who gave it to him. It was the nurse.¡± Nangong Ci insisted.
Those young nurses were so infatuated with the adorable Fu Ziyang that even a five-year-old couldn¡¯t escape their attention.
Absolutely outrageous!
Huo Jingshen first went to the Deputy Director¡¯s office.
Pushing the door open, he indeed saw Fu Ziyang sitting on the sofa with a bunch of young nurses surrounding him, each holding candies and toys to amuse him.
Seeing Huo Jingshen, he immediately jumped off the sofa, holding his lollipop and walked over, ¡°Uncle Huo.¡±
Chapter 392: 392, Burning Bridges
Chapter 392: Burning Bridges
Upon seeing Huo Jingshen, he immediately jumped off the sofa, holding his lollipop and walked over, ¡°Uncle Huo.¡±
Huo Jingshen frowned, ¡°Ziyang, didn¡¯t I tell you yesterday not to linger at the school gate.¡±
Though, Fu Ziyang asked, ¡°Uncle Huo, is she really my mother?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Fu Ziyang was taken aback, he dropped his lollipop on the ground out of disappointment.
¡°Your mother is not in the country, so stop tantly searching and guessing.¡± Huo Jingshen said.
¡°Then where is my mom?¡± Fu Ziyang asked.
¡°She wille to find you after a while.¡±
¡°Uncle Huo, you¡¯re not lying to me, are you? Why do you always say that? Why can¡¯t shee and find me earlier?¡±
Listening to this soft little voice, Nangong Ci¡¯s heart almost broke.
Yet, Huo Jingshen remained unmoved, ¡°When did I ever lie to you?¡±
¡°But you haven¡¯t told me the truth.¡± Fu Ziyang confidently replied.
Huo Jingshen then looked straight at Nangong Ci, ¡°Lead the way.¡±
Nangong Ci picked himself up, ¡°Okay.¡±
Fu Ziyang: ¡°¡¡±
**
As they walked down the corridor, Nangong Ci started talking, ¡°This Lu Zixi seems pretty popr right now, my dad was even watching her TV show a few days ago,plimented her as youthful and adorable¡ She kept telling me she was innocent, and if it weren¡¯t for her being my dad¡¯s favourite, I would have taken her to the police station on ounts of kidnapping. How dare she deceive my nephew! It¡¯s outrageous! But, boss, is she really my nephew¡¯s biological mother? They do seem to have some resemnce¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t ask questions you shouldn¡¯t.¡± Huo Jingshen irked, he knocked on his head with a folder.
Nangong Ci grinned, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m the vice dean. Can you give me some respect?¡±
He can¡¯t believe Huo knocked his head!
Luckily, there are no subordinates around to see it¡
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t reply and just walked ahead.
When they reached the door, his long fingers rested on the door handle, and he looked back at Nangong Ci.
Nangong Ci had a puzzled look on his face.
What¡¯s with him now?
¡°Arrange someone to take Ziyang to school.¡± Huo Jingshen ordered.
¡°Alright.¡±
¡°You can leave.¡±
¡°¡Oh.¡±
As soon as Huo Jingshen opened and closed the door, Nangong Ci punched the air out of frustration.
Such audacity!
Burning the bridge after crossing it, tossing him aside once done with him!
**
Huo Jingshen stepped into the office suite.
Zan Song was tied to a chair, his limbs bound but not too tight.
He had taken a punch to the face from a security guard during his earlier struggle, which resulted in a scrape on his mouth.
Although Lu Zixi was uninjured and not bound, her condition wasn¡¯t great, her clothes were dishevelled, her face haggard, and her hair messy,pletely devoid of her usual mour and beauty.
Upon seeing Huo Jingshen, Zan Song immediately shouted angrily, ¡°Who are you? Who gives you the right to lock us in here? Do you know this is illegal? Do you know who I am? Let us go immediately!¡±
Compared with Zan Song¡¯s agitation, Huo Jingshen was calm, ¡°Continue screaming, I don¡¯t mind inviting the reporters downstairs toe up.¡±
Lu Zixi hastily went over to the window.
As she looked at the mass of reporters thronging the square below, all equipped with microphones and cameras¡
Frightened, she quickly turned around, fearing that someone would capture her face.
¡°Just who are you?¡± Zan Song couldn¡¯t help but ask.
How had he never seen this man with such a powerful aura and outstanding looks in public before?
Otherwise, he would have surely recognized him!
¡°Don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows.
Zan Song: ¡°¡¡±
He then began examining the man in front of him.
He seemed to be around thirty years old.
He was dressed in a ck coat which was casually opened to reveal a dark woolen sweater with a snippet of a crisp white shirt peeking out from the cor. It was very neat,pletely spotless.
He was tall, with sculptured handsome features and a pair of deep ck eyes. His long, beautiful fingers held a folder.
With his every gesture, he exuded an elegant and unassumingly dazzling aura.
Considering his age and his aura, within the major families of Nancheng¡
m Huo Jingshen.¡±
At his words, Zan Song immediately froze. His spection was confirmed instantly.
Lu Zixi also remembered by then. He was the man who picked up Fu Ziyang and left the cinema that day.
However, since he arrivedte, only Su Wanwan and Fu Ziyang were in the photo taken that day. Unexpectedly¡
She immediately asked, ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with Miss Su? And what¡¯s your rtionship with Ziyang?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to know my rtionship with Ziyang but what can be confirmed is that you have no rtionship with Ziyang.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was t but carried an undeniable meaning.
He then ced the folder he was holding on the table. ¡°As for this file, it¡¯s closely rted to Miss Lu. Miss Lu, care to take a look?¡±
Lu Zixi looked at the file, her eyes fixed on it, her body slightly trembling.
Somehow, she didn¡¯t dare to reach out and pick it up.
Zan Song quickly said, ¡°Zixi, don¡¯t be afraid. I believe President Huo isn¡¯t that unreasonable.¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrow slightly twitched.
As for Lu Zixi, she clenched her fingers and finally picked up the file on the table.
However, just after seeing the first page¡
With a ¡°nging¡± sound, the file fell back onto the table.
She stood there, her body trembled with incredulous frequency. The expression on her face was as if she had seen something terrifying, appearing both frightened and afraid.
¡°Miss Lu, not going to read the rest?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes nced at the file on the table.
Seeing that Lu Zixi seemed truly too afraid to continue reading, he started to speak, ¡°The fact that you had a surrogate child for a rich businessman at the age of sixteen was only coincidentally found out by a private investigator. He wanted to earn some credit, so he sent me all this information. However, I¡¯m not interested in these things.¡±
Lu Zixi bit her lip, filled with shame and panic, she didn¡¯t dare to speak.
She never expected that this file would so thoroughly dig up her past!
These old events had always been well hidden by her, even yesterday, she only shared some of it with Su Wenwen.
Because she knew, after navigating the entertainment circle for eleven years, she had already seen the cold-heartedness of people. She finally had her current career which everyone else was eyeing, she couldn¡¯t afford a single mistake!
She also knew, the moment these things would be exposed, she would be subjected to a destructive blow instantly, not only on her career, but even her future real life might be affected¡
Huo Jingshen¡¯s thin lips lightly parted, and his voice sounded again, ¡°However, these documents can definitely prove that your child died indeed in that fire that year, this is also the main reason why I came to see you. Miss Lu, you just need to remember this point, and never look for Ziyang again, or else these documents may end up in the hands of the reporters downstairs.¡±
After saying that, he turned and left.
**
On the other hand, Nangong Ci ordered someone to take Fu Ziyang back to school and sat in his office waiting for somebody to return.
¡°Tap tap tap.¡±
Finally, the door was knocked.
Nangong Ci hurriedly got up from his seat, ¡°Big brother,e in, why are you knocking¡¡±
The door opened and it was a nurse.
Wearing an extremely short pink nurse uniform, carrying a cup of coffee in her hand, she had a shy smile and a melodic voice, ¡°Deputy Dean, your coffee.¡±
Her voice was sweet and she looked beautiful, which indeed cheered people up on this drizzle morning.
When she put down the coffee, she intentionally bent over.
Nangong Ci coughed twice.
Since there was no one else in the office, he joked, ¡°Qi Qi, you didn¡¯t put any medicine in my coffee, did you?¡±
¡°Deputy Dean, what are you talking about?¡± Qi Qi puckered her mouth, her face immediately flushed.
¡°Imean,¡± Nangong Ci¡¯s smile became even deeper, ¡°you didn¡¯tput any medicine in my coffee that would make me ufortable unless I was with a woman?¡±
¡°Deputy Dean!¡± Qi Qi stomped her foot, her face reddening, ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡±
Did she look like the type of woman who would do anything to get what she wanted?
Seeing Nangong Ci¡¯s smile getting even worse, she clenched her fist, and was about to punch him, but then¡ ¡°Xiaosan.¡±
¡°Cough cough!¡± All the coffee Nangong Ci had just taken a sip of was scared out of his mouth.
Shortly after, they heard Qi Qi shrieking, ¡°Aaaaah¡¡±
Because his coffee was all over Qi Qi¡¯s body.
Nangong Ci hurriedly put down the coffee, pulling out a tissue to wipe her, but then immediately retracted as if he had been burned. He rambled to exin, ¡°Big brother, you must not misunderstand, we haven¡¯t done anything.¡±
Huo Jingshen stood at the door, his ck coat emitting a cold glow. His handsome face was full of aloofness and disgust, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±
¡°Big brother, let me apany you.¡±
Nangong Ci quickly followed, at the same time ring at Qi Qi, ¡°Don¡¯t wear such a short nurse uniform again, change it!¡±
Qi Qi just looked confused.
Wasn¡¯t this super short nurse uniform designed by you, Deputy Dean?
**
Huo Jingshen nced at the time, left the hospital, and drove directly to Nancheng University.
After parking, he sent a WeChat message to his little girl.
[Baby,e out, have lunch with your husband.]
He thought his girl would push him away and give all kinds of excuses, dragging it out for half a day. But unexpectedly¡
[Okay.]
Sending a lively dancing emoticon along with the message.
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows.
That seemed somewhat unexpected.
But he still opened the storagepartment and pulled out a red jewelry box.
When the lid was opened, a diamonddy¡¯s ring sparkled under the sun, looking extremely beautiful.
Huo Jingshen just looked at the ring until he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He put the jewelry box in his pocket and unlocked the car door.
However, when Su Wanwan came to the car door, he found¡ it wasn¡¯t just her.
Mo Weiyi, carrying a fluffy pink bunny school bag, wearing a ck fur coat, a dark floral skirt, and long boots, her honey blonde curls draped over her shoulders, her outfit¡ just like a Christmas tree.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s face darkened, he was absolutely disgusted at heart.
Realizing that after getting in the car, Su Wanwan was actually sitting in the back seat with Mo Weiyi¡
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome face darkened even more, looking like a storm brewing. His mood was almost as gloomy as the weather outside.
Mo Weiyi closed her little pink umbre and greeted sweetly, ¡°Mr. Huo, where are we going for lunch?¡±
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯t answer.
¡°Mr. Huo?¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her head in confusion, then looked at Su Wanwan with questioning eyes.
So Su Wanwan had to speak up, ¡°Husband, where are we going?¡±
This calling of ¡°husband¡± finally eased Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression a bit. He drove the car out, then casually stated, ¡°Xiaoye Garden.¡±
Su Wanwan realized that her husband really yed hardball with his friends!
Normally when he took her out for a meal, they basically went to that ce, evenst time when they invited ssmates to dinner.
Although the taste was good and the environment wasfy, but¡ it was free every time! It was as if they were eating without paying!
Soon after they reached Xiaoye Garden, a manager greeted them.
Since they had apanied Su Wanwan several times, he was quite familiar with her, directly addressing her as ¡°Mrs. Huo.¡±
When he saw Mo Weiyi, his eyes lit up even more, ¡°It turns out to be Miss Mo, sorry to have kept you waiting, right this way please.¡±
Mo Weiyi gave a slight smile.
Without a doubt, Nancheng was her territory!
She was so famous, everyone recognized her no matter where she went!
After they entered the private room, a server came in to take their order.
Under Huo Jingshen¡¯s hint, she put the menu in front of Mo Weiyi.
Mo Weiyi picked up the menu, casually flipping through it, her eyebrows shot up in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t it a bit expensive?¡±
An ordinary stir-fried vegetable dish was actually 388 yuan?
This¡!
Although she didn¡¯t understand much about the price of household items, but this price was unreasonable, right?
The server smiled, ¡°Miss Mo, today¡¯s meal is on the house.¡±
Then Mo Weiyi gave out a graceful sigh, ¡°Although this is indeed the first time I have visited your restaurant, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. After all, Mr. Huo is treating us today, you¡¯re making me kind of embarrassed.¡±
Chapter 393: 393, cliched encounter, catching a cheat!
Chapter 393: cliched encounter, catching a cheat!
Mo Weiyi let out a graceful sigh. ¡°Well, although this is indeed my first time at your family¡¯s restaurant, there¡¯s no need to be so formal. After all, it¡¯s Mr. Huo picking up the tab today, so you¡¯re making me feel a bit¡ awkward.¡±
Huo Jingshen lightly smiled, raising his hand to pat Su Wenwen¡¯s head. ¡°Since we¡¯re all benefitting from Miss Mo today, baby, make sure you eat a bit more.¡±
Su Wenwen:¡±¡¡±
Motherfucker.
One is narcissistic to the extreme.
The other is a tsundere with a dark side.
These two are beyond the pale!
The waiter was also a little bbergasted.
After all, because Mr. Huo is the elder brother of their boss, the boss had specifically instructed that whenever Mr. Huoes to dine, it would be free of charge.
But¡
The more one talks, the more likely one is to make a mistake.
With that, heughed and continued to provide attentive service. ¡°May I ask, does anyone have any food allergies or dislikes?¡±
*
*
Finally, after ordering food, Mo Weiyi spoke up again, ¡°Baby Wanwan, apany me to the restrooms.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Has this Mo Weiyi not been weaned yet?
Always clinging to his wife, even needing to go to the restroom together?
His fingers traced the small red jewelry box in his pocket, and Huo Jingshen smirked secretly.
*
*
In the women¡¯s restroom.
No sooner had Mo Weiyi gone in than Su Wanwan¡¯s phone rang.
¡°Hello?¡±
It was a call from Ye Qitian.
¡°Junior sister, I¡¯m back in Nancheng. I¡¯lle to see you tomorrow!¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, ¡°No!¡±
¡°Why not? Didn¡¯t you sayst time that I could visit you after your exams?¡±
¡°Because I¡¯m preparing for my final exams now.¡±
¡°What the hell! That¡¯s not fair! You¡¯re being heartless and unreasonable! I don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t care!¡±
Just as Su Wanwan was about tough, two women walked towards her in the corridor.
One of them was older, about fifty years old, dressed simply and unassumingly, as for the younger one¡
When she saw her face, Su Wanwan was quite taken aback. She quickly said to her phone, ¡°Wait until after the exams, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal, gotta hang up now¡¡±
¡°No way, no way, meals should always be paid for by men, how can a woman pay for the meal? Doesn¡¯t that make me a gigolo?¡±
¡°I really have something to do¡¡± Su Wanwan was speaking while watching Tian Ye help the woman over.
This must be her mother.
There were some simrities between the two women¡¯s eyebrows and eyes, but her mother seemed to have trouble walking, she had a limp.
When they entered the restroom, Su Wanwan hurriedly followed them in.
Tian Ye helped her mother into one of the stalls, then went to wash her hands at the sink.
Mo Weiyi came out just as Su Wenwen was hanging up her phone.
¡°Wanwan, I think my period is about to start, my stomach hurts a bit.¡±
Su Wanwan nced at Tian Ye, ¡°Then¡ after dinner, do you want to go home and rest?¡±
¡°No, I can just buy some sanitary pads. I have two English sses this afternoon, and I need to ask the professor some questions.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Is this girl going crazy recently?
She¡¯s even more studious than her.
Soon, the woman opened the bathroom stall door, and Tian Ye hurried over to help her.
With only the four of them in the restroom, Mo Weiyi inevitably had to look over.
Su Wanwan thought that Mo Weiyi would recognize her, but there was not much reaction on her face.
After Tian Ye helped her mother to leave, Mo Weiyi nudged her arm, ¡°Did you see that woman just now?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Mo Weiyi clucked. ¡°The bag she was carrying, didn¡¯t you notice?¡±
¡°Err¡¡±
Su Wanwan was dumbfounded.
She didn¡¯t expect that Mo Weiyi would notice this!
¡°It¡¯s thetest design from Yallol. I have one too, but mine is pink. The ck one she carried looked pretty good, I think I¡¯ll buy one when I get back.¡±
¡°How much is it?¡±
¡°When I checkedst time, it was around 580,000. The price varies with the color.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡Oh.¡±
Okay.
Forget I asked.
But why does this Tian Ye have so much money?
Looking at Mo Weiyi¡¯s innocent and beautiful face again, Su Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Weiyi, are you sure you don¡¯t know who she is?¡±
¡°Who?¡±
The two women walked out of the restroom.
Just as Su Wenwen was about to speak, the voice of the woman from before drifted over from the front.
¡°When will Yebai arrive? It seems to be raining heavily outside again.¡±
Su Wanwan froze.
Mo Weiyi also froze.
Yebai?
Tian Ye gently exined, ¡°Mom, he is busy with work. He just finished a meeting and is driving here. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll order all the dishes.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what Yebai likes to eat.¡± The woman started muttering again, ¡°You¡¯ve been dating him for so long and this is the first time you¡¯re eating with him. Make sure to treat him well and don¡¯t neglect him, understand?¡±
¡°I know, Mom, let¡¯s go in.¡±
¡°And he bought so many thingsst time, it was such a waste. I really don¡¯t need them all. Remember, don¡¯t let him buy things again. As long as he genuinely cares about you, this olddy can rest easy. Even if I suddenly pass away, at least there¡¯s someone to take care of you¡¡±
For every sentence the woman spoke, Tian Ye would respond with a ¡°good,¡± in a gentle and patient tone, without even a hint of annoyance.
It was clear that she was very respectful and indulgent towards her mother.
The door to the private room closed, and their voices vanished.
Afterward, Mo Weiyi slowly turned around and looked at her friend, ¡°Wanwan, did you hear them mention ¡®Yebai¡¯ earlier?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
¡°There¡¯s actually a man with the same name as my husband!¡± Mo Weiyi pouted.
Su Wanwan looked at her sweet and innocent best friend, speechless, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask Xiao about that womanst time?¡±
¡°I did,¡± Mo Weiyi responded innocently, ¡°He said Tian Ye was his ssmate from the American Institute and that they just happened to meet at the club.¡±
¡°Actually¡¡± Su Wanwan uttered carefully, ¡°That woman who just left, that¡¯s Tian Ye.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s beautiful cat-like eyes instantly widened.
Unbelievable.
Su Wanwan quickly grasped her wrist, ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty, it¡¯s probably all a misunderstanding.¡±
Even though she also felt certain that Xiao Yebai was having an affair, Mo Weiyi could be quite impulsive, so it would be best to calm her down first¡
But Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, ¡°Right, it must be a misunderstanding. Xiaobai wouldn¡¯t lie to me.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
She was that confident?
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go back and eat.¡± Mo Weiyi took her arm and started to head back.
Su Wanwan again: ¡°¡¡±
What was this girl¡¯s reaction?
Shouldn¡¯t she rush over there to confront them right away?
*
*
When they returned to the private room, most of the exquisite dishes had already been served.
Su Wanwan was ravenous by then. As soon as she sat back down, she started to dig in.
With a guest present, Huo Jingshen also seemed somewhat reserved.
But who would have expected the normally noisy Mo Weiyi to suddenly be so quiet?
He raised an eyebrow. Just as he picked up the teapot¡.
¡°No!¡±
There was a bang as Mo Weiyi mmed her hand down on the table.
Su Wanwan jumped in surprise.
Huo Jingshen also paused for a moment.
¡°I¡¯m going to catch them in the act!¡±
She couldn¡¯t stand it, not even for a minute!
¡°Don¡¯t try to stop me! Xiaobai might already be here, having dinner with that slut and her mother in the next room!¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ¡°We won¡¯t stop you, go ahead.¡±
She won¡¯t know it until she hits the wall.
Furthermore¡
Once she left, he could be alone with his love.
But Su Wanwan quickly said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go with you.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
Seriously this unromantic girl!
Luckily, Mo Weiyi declined, ¡°No need, you should stay here and eat with Mr. Huo.¡±
Huo Jingshen couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows.
He suddenly started to view Mo Weiyi in a new light. She didn¡¯t seem as naive as he thought, but then¡
¡°There¡¯s no need for that. He¡¯s not a little kid. He doesn¡¯t need someone to babysit him,¡± Su Wanwan responded dismissively. After finishing speaking, she stood up, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
He almost crushed the handle of the teapot.
*
*
Upon leaving the private room, Mo Weiyi immediately dialed Xiao Yebai¡¯s number.
Su Wanwan stood next to her, listening.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Hearing Xiao Yebai¡¯s cool and deep voice, Mo Weiyi asked him, ¡°Xiaobai, what are you doing?¡±
¡°About to eat lunch.¡±
¡°Where are you eating?¡±
There was a pause on the phone, but eventually, Xiao Yebai replied, ¡°At a themed restaurant.¡±
¡°What¡¯s it called? Is it good? If it¡¯s good, we should go together next time.¡±
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes.
This coaxing tone, worthy ofw school training.
¡°Xiao Ye Garden, I¡¯ll take you next time.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi immediately smiled, ¡°Great! Then you have to take me next time. Let¡¯s hang up now.¡±
She put away her phone and looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Okay, you can go back and apany Mr. Huo to have dinner now.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Su Wanwan froze. Weren¡¯t they going to catch someone in the act?
¡°What about you?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s bright face lit up with a smile, ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to find my husband.¡±
She had already figured out what was going on.
But Su Wanwan still didn¡¯t understand, ¡°Can you handle it by yourself? In case there¡¯s a fight¡.¡±
¡°With Xiaobai there, who would dare to fight me?¡± Mo Weiyi pursed her exquisite red lips, raised her proud little chin, and replied with a naturally superior tone.
Chapter 394: 394, who dares to hit me?
Chapter 394: who dares to hit me?
¡°With Xiaobai around, who would dare to hit me?¡± Mo Weiyi curved her refined red lips, lifted her proud little chin, speaking in a tone that sounded both matter-of-fact and superior.
Su Wenwen was still uneasy.
If Xiao Yebai were really that dependable, would he have cheated?
¡°Alright, you go back now. If there¡¯s any trouble, I¡¯ll call you. Go eat.¡± With that, Mo Weiyi began to push Su Wenwen back.
¡°¡Okay then.¡±
Tian Ye¡¯s mother was also there, even if they were to have a confrontation, they wouldn¡¯t need to resort to physical violence in front of the elder, would they?
So, after Su Wenwen left, Mo Weiyi moved forward and arrived at the private room from earlier.
She knocked twice on the door and, without waiting for a response, pushed the door open and entered.
The three people in the room immediately turned to look at her.
The woman was the first to speak, ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t say anything, she just looked at Xiao Yebai.
The mother and daughter were sitting in chairs, and only he was standing as if he had just arrived because he hadn¡¯t taken off his coat.
When he saw her, he was handsomely serene, and his face carried his usual cold indifference.
Even with her sudden appearance, there was no panic or guilt on his face, as if her arrival¡ was not unexpected?
Mo Weiyi felt more assured in her heart.
She closed the door behind her, stepped into the room wearing her thigh-high boots.
Getting close, she reached out to take his arm, leaned in closer, her red lips smiled charmingly, ¡°So, you¡¯re having dinner here. What a coincidence, did you just arrive?¡±
After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at the mother-daughter duo, her delicate face breaking into a bright smile, ¡°Are these two your friends? Won¡¯t you introduce me? Darling.¡±
Upon hearing the word ¡°darling,¡± Tian Ye¡¯s face immediately turned deathly pale.
The woman was astonished, ¡°Darling? Why would you call Yebai darling?¡±
¡°Because he is my husband. We¡¯ve been married for over two years. If I don¡¯t call him darling, should I call him brother?¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her face,ughing innocently and purely.
The woman quickly turned to her daughter, ¡°Xiaoye, what¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t Yebai your boyfriend? How did he be someone else¡¯s husband? Huh?¡±
Tian Ye¡¯s gentle face had turned from white to red, her eyshes trembling slightly. She finally mustered the courage to look at Xiao Yebai, only to meet his deep yet icy cold gaze¡
Her heart suddenly fluttered, she wanted to exin, opened her mouth, but didn¡¯tknow where to start.
¡°Boyfriend?¡± Mo Weiyi looked at Tian Ye with her clear cat eyes,ughing, ¡°Heh, Miss Tian, when did my husband be your boyfriend? Can you exin that to me?¡±
Since they were indoors, she was not wearing a coat. Her pink sweater and floral-patterned mini skirt highlighted her slender figure, making her look graceful and charming. Her soft, curly hair was just fluffy enough to set off her small face, making it even more beautiful and pleasing.
At this moment, her smile was sweet, but because of her provocative and questioning tone, her standing posture was haughty and bearing down, exuding a kind of aggressive strength.
Tian Ye bit her lip, knowing she was at fault and couldn¡¯t say a word.
However, the woman seemed to have suffered a huge blow and abruptly stood up.
The chair scraping across the floor made a long, piercing sound.
¡°Xiaoye, didn¡¯t you say that you and Yebai have been dating for exactly five years, and you¡¯re nning to get married next year? How did he be someone else¡¯s husband? What¡¯s going on? Exin it to me now!¡±
Tian Ye bowed her head, unable to respond to her mother¡¯s questioning.
When they met in the bathroom just now, she hardly gave the other woman a second nce.
And in the photos she tracked down before, Mo Weiyi was always in fancy dresses or wedding gowns.
She never expected that this girl was actually Xiao Yebai¡¯swful wife!
Hiding Xiao Yebai¡¯s presence beforehand, asking him toe out for dinner with her and her mother, was already nerve-wracking enough. Having everythingid bare like this made her feel utterly embarrassed.
It made her look as if she was the mistress who stole someone else¡¯s man!
¡°Iget it now!¡±
The woman suddenly pointed a finger at Mo Weiyi, her eyes filled with bitter hatred, ¡°You¡¯re the homewrecker! It must have been you! You employed foul means! You stole my daughter¡¯s boyfriend, didn¡¯t you? How could you, breaking up a couple¡¯s rtionship will revile you! You¡¯re a mistress, have you no shame?!¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s face hardened, ¡°Ma¡¯am, I respect you out of age, so I can forgive your ignorance. But if you want the real story, you ought to ask your good daughter.¡±
¡°Nonsense!¡±
The woman¡¯s hand was still firmly pointed at Mo Weiyi, ¡°My daughter was in America for seven whole years ¡ª five years studying, two years working. She met Yebai seven years ago! They were in a rtionship for years. They had ns on building a future in America, but now she¡¯se back for me and decided to stay. Today is my birthday, they came together to celebrate it with me! Yebai treats my daughter so well, he previously gifted us with many things, bought so many gifts for Xiaoye, and was even nning to buy us a house!¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯sugh was full of mockery, ¡°Miss Tian, fooling your mother to satisfy your pathetic vanity, is it fun?¡±
She spied the woman from top to bottom, her tone belittling, ¡°Just a moment ago, I believed that those brand-name goods, and your designer bag, were bought with your earnings. But seeing as you can even lie to your own mother, what couldn¡¯t you possibly do? I bet those goods were bought by selling yourself?¡±
Tian Ye looked at her, her lips bitten, tears welled up in her eyes.
Pitiful.
But she didn¡¯t deny it.
So, Mo Weiyi chuckled coldly again, ¡°And you said it was my husband who gave you all this? Have you no shame? My husband has told me everything. You were just a ssmate in America and you happened to run into him. He helped you out of courtesy! What else do you want, to cling to him, to impose on him?¡±
¡°Enough.¡± A chilly voice from a man finally spoke.
The scene fell silent.
Mo Weiyi closed her mouth, obediently keeping quiet.
Xiao Yebai turned to the woman, ¡°I wasn¡¯t aware that today is your birthday, I apologize for not preparing anything in advance.¡±
With that said, the previous misunderstandings naturally cleared up.
Tian Ye bit her lip and finally started to talk, ¡°Yebai, I¡¯m sorry, I¡ I just¡¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice rang out again, ¡°As far as Tian Ye and I are concerned, we are not in the kind of rtionship you are thinking about. There may have been some misunderstandings.¡±
¡°Impossible!¡± The woman suddenly, as if going mad, started cursing at Mo Weiyi, ¡°It¡¯s you, you hussy! It¡¯s you! You seduced Yebai! You will get youreuppance! I will kill you! I most definitely will kill you today!¡±
With that, she lunged at Mo Weiyi with ws bared.
Mo Weiyi screamed and quickly hide behind Xiao Yebai.
Tian Ye also rapidly held back her furious mother, ¡°Mom, Mom, calm down!¡±
¡°I will kill you, I will kill you! Let go ofme! twill kill you! I¡¯m going to kill you, I will kill you¡¡±
Mo Weiyi, clutching onto Xiao Yebai¡¯s arm, looked at the crazed woman, ¡°What the hell is wrong with you? It¡¯s your daughter who¡¯s trying to steal my husband! I haven¡¯t even held you ountable yet, why are you losingyour temper at me? She¡¯s the one that lied and cheated, doing shameless things behind your back! Try yelling at me again and I¡¯m going to have the cops lock you up in a mental institution¡ Ah!¡±
Somewhere in her rant touched a chord in the woman, she twisted her face in fury and lunged at Mo Weiyi, wing at her face.
Just in the nick of time, a man¡¯s hand grabbed her and shoved her away.
The woman fell back onto the chair. Whether it was the brute strength or it was idental, she even knocked over the chair while falling, causing a loud ng.
¡°Mom!¡± Tian Ye¡¯s face went white and she rushed over to her mother.
¡°Xiaobai, let¡¯s go, this woman is crazy!¡± Mo Weiyi shouted, tugging at Xiao Yebai¡¯s arm.
She¡¯s practically a lunatic!
She even wanted to hit someone?
Lucky for her, Xiaobai protected her.
¡°Sorry,¡± Xiao Yebai briefly apologized, and guided Mo Weiyi away.
Behind them, they could faintly hear the woman¡¯s cursing. Mo Weiyi led Xiao Yebai. Just around the corner, she caught her breath, fearfully clutching her chest, ¡°That scared me to death! She almost ruined my face just now!¡±
Xiao Yebai looked down at her, his tone t, ¡°How did youe to be here?¡±
¡°I was having dinner with Wanwan and bumped into you guys in the bathroom, so I called you.¡±
Mo Weiyi was still angered, ¡°Your ssmate from America is seriously vain, isn¡¯t she? Did she deliberately trick you intoing for dinner? Fortunately, I arrived just in time, otherwise, you would¡¯ve be someone else¡¯s boyfriend! Even nning to get married, what a joke! She¡¯s fit for that?¡±
Chapter 395 - 395= 395, Wedding Ring
Chapter 395= 395, Wedding Ring
Mo Weiyi is truly angry just thinking about it, ¡°Isn¡¯t your American ssmate just too vain? Did she deliberately trickyou into having dinner. Fortunately, arrived in time, otherwise you would have already be someone else¡¯s boyfriend! And she¡¯s even making ns for marriage, bleh! Is she even worthy?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone remains indifferent, as if devoid of emotion, ¡°I¡¯ll take you
home.¡±
¡°Home? But I¡¯m still hungry. Yebai, apany me to eat.¡± Mo Weiyi wrinkles her nose, ¡°But I don¡¯t want to eat here, let¡¯s find another ce.
The thought of that mother and daughter still in the private dining roompletely robbed her of her appetite.
Mo Weiyi quickly returned to the dining room to retrieve her belongings, smiled and bid her farewell, ¡± I¡¯m going to have dinner with Yebai now, Wanwan, I¡¯lle to find you in school in the afternoon. Mr. Huo, thankyou for your hospitality, goodbye!¡±
Having said that, she left swiftly.
Su Wanwan was somewhat perplexed, while Huo Jingshen seemed pleased.
The idle crowd finally left.
After finishing almost all of her food, Su Wanwan drank thest spoonful of
soup, ¡°I¡¯m full.¡±
She wiped her mouth, stood up, ready to leave, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I have ss this
afternoon.¡±
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Huo Jingshen held her wrist.
¡°What is it?¡±
Huo Jingshen stood up, then slowly raised the hand that was tucked in his suit
pocket.
The moment she saw a red velvet box in his sturdy, distinct hands¡
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Is this¡?
Slender fingers opened the box to reveal a delicate diamond ring.
With a heart-shaped diamond set on the ring, it was smooth and elegant,
shining brilliantly.
Although it was raining outside, the light was on in the room.
Under the refracted light, the diamond emitted rays of light, glowing brilliantly
with a slight movement.
It was enough to blind someone.
indeed, Su Wanwan was momentarily blinded and before she could react, her
lefthand was held.
Then, she felt a chill on her ring finger, and the diamond ring was already on
her hand.
¡°Do you like it?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s deep voice gently echoed.
Su Wanwan was still a bit dazed.
Is this a wedding ring?
Seeing the girl¡¯s ¡°moved¡± expression, Huo Jingshen lifted the corner of his lips and asked again, ¡°Baby, do you like this wedding ring?¡±
Su Wanwan finally came back to her senses.
She nodded, somewhat embarrassed, she asked, ¡°When did you buy it?
They got their marriage certificate almost half a year ago, she didn¡¯t expect him
to suddenly give her a ring.
¡°Last night.¡± Huo Jingshen slightly smiled, ¡°Forgot so soon?
¡°Oh.¡± Su Wanwan remembered now.
But she thought he just bought it on a whimst night and since he didn¡¯t mention anything afterwards, she didn¡¯t expect¡
She looked at the diamond ring.
It looked like it was custom-made, delicate, bright, and beautiful on her
slender fair fingers.
No wonder they say women love diamonds.
It was indeed beautiful.
¡°From now on, you must wear it every day and are not allowed to take it off.¡±
Huo Jingshen suddenly issued amand.
¡°Ah?¡± Su Wanwan instantly lifted her head, her little face rmed, ¡°What if I
lose it?¡±
¡°If you lose it.¡± Huo Jingshen smiled again, ¡°My dear, you¡¯ll have to pay with your own flesh.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Dammit!
The touching atmosphere instantly dissipated.
She pouted her mouth, ¡°Nevermind then, I won¡¯t wear it.¡±
She remembered the price tag fromst night seemed pretty steep, how many times would she have to pay?
just as she extended her hand to take it off, Huo Jingshen caught her hand, ¡°Try taking it off.¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll lose it.¡±
Su Wanwan was really afraid of losing it, she hadn¡¯t dared to wear the jade
bracelet that Mrs. Huo gave her.
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of paying with your flesh?
SuWenwen:¡±¡¡±
Finally, Huo Jingshen grumpily said, ¡°If you lose it, I¡¯ll buy you a new one.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
She finally felt relieved, hihi.
Having said that, Su Wenwen looked at him with her little nose and small eyes,
¡°Then you must wear it too, every day!¡±
Huo Jingshen chuckled, extended his right hand, ¡°I put it onst night, I didn¡¯t even take it off when I showered, my dear¡¯s attention towards her husband is
not enough.¡±
Su Wanwan was dumbfounded.
Alright.
She had been too focused on Mo Weiyi¡¯s affair earlier, she really hadn¡¯t noticed.
Then, Huo Jingshen suddenly picked up his phone from the table, ¡°Do you want to take a picture and show off?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Not long after, in the WJY WeChat group, a man who usually lurks posted a picture.
In the picture, the man¡¯s hand was long and powerful, each finger distinctly outlined with a simple, low-key men¡¯s ring on his right ring finger.
Next to it was a woman¡¯s small hand, as smooth and slender as green onions, with a heart-shaped diamonddies¡¯ ring on her left ring finger.
Nangong Ci:[Damn! Ah! My eyes! My eyes are blinded! Blinded by this shy diamond!]
Ming Jing:[For this wave of dog food, I give big brother a hundred points! Not a
point more, I¡¯m afraid big brother will get proud!]
LuChenyu:[Hehe.]
Chu Xiuhuang:[Hehe.]
Nangong Ci:[Second brother, what¡¯s upsetting you? Why are you ¡°hehe¡±ing with fourth brother?]
Chu Xiuhuang: [Hehe.]
Nangong Ci:[Seems like he¡¯s really upset¡]
Chu Xiuhuang was furious.
Dammit!
This was evidently the ring he had set his heart on first, but it was snatched away by that shameless old man, who then took pictures to show it off on
WeChat?
Although he had dared to monopolize all the jewelry sections and upied all the entertainment gossip headlines, there was only one pair of those rings.
In his office, Chu Xiuhuang put down his phone, his slender finger tapping on the ck office desk, his phoenix eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Until his phone rang again.
Seeing the iing call disy, Chu Xiuhuang almost rolled his eyes. Seems like this old man was quite upset by the news. Since the news broke this morning he must¡¯ve made a dozen calls by now.
And he can¡¯t not answer.
¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Ahuang, I saw on Weibo that it¡¯s a buzz, tell me the truth, are you really interested in the girl from the Lu family?
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°Which one from the Lu family?¡±
It seems like he had been introduced to two socialites from the Lu family a while back, but he had long ago forgotten what they looked like.
Old Master Chu sighed over the phone. ¡°I¡¯m not such an old-fashioned man. Your father passed away early, your mother is in poor health, and after I¡¯m gone, all I want is someone loving to take care of you. But¡about that Lu family boy if he really bes part of our family, should I call him my granddaughter-inw or grandson? And I worry, you two are both men, how will you guys have children in the future? Are you destined to have no offspring in this life? Your mother might not agree¡¡±
¡°Fuck''¡± Chu Xiuhuang couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, ¡°Grandpa, can you stop paying attention to the terrible gossip news online? Haven¡¯t you had enough after a whole day?¡±
All damn day he had been on phone calls, and it was one thing when he was being asked about women, but now came the questions about men!
He vehemently dered, ¡°I¡¯m purely straight, and I¡¯m just brothers with Lu!¡±
¡°Really?¡± Old Master Chu still didn¡¯t believe it.
After all this time, the only ones who could stay close friends with Chu Xiuhuang would be Lu Chenyu.
The Chu family and the Lu family were on good terms, so if the two of them could be together, he wouldn¡¯t rule that out.
It took Old Master Chu a long time to ept this unconventional love.
¡°If I lie, may I be struck down by five thunderbolts!¡± Chu Xiuhuang angrily mmed the table.
Damn, he was really angry!
He thought only those stupid fangirls on Weibo would imagine things. He never thought that his grandfather would suspect something was off about his sexua orientation. He felt like pointing at the sky and swearing.
¡°Alright, alright, since you¡¯re just brothers, I can be at ease. Why are you swearing such a deadly oath?
Old Master Chu was quite happy. ¡°You go hackwork. Remember to take care of your things. I¡¯ll give Secretary Shi a callter. Your marriage matters need to be prioritized. If you didn¡¯t like the ones from before, I¡¯ll introduce some better ones for you. You should tell Secretary Shi about any requirements you have.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang:
When will it all end?
Having finally gotten rid of the old man, he copsed into his chair, tilting his head and smacking his lips, seemingly lost in thought.
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
About half an hourter, he suddenly stood up.
He opened the office door, the hallway outside was silent. It was just after twelve in the afternoon, thepany¡¯s lunch break. Chu Xiuhuang slowly strolled to the secretarial office, indeed hearing the sound of Shi Huan¡¯s voice on a phone call.
¡°Alright, old master, please rest assured.¡±
¡°Yes, once you¡¯ve arranged it, please leave it to me.
¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all, old master. This is my duty.
Chu Xiuhuang really wanted to roll his eyes.
Fucking hell!
She was so obedient and considerate in front of his grandfather, always saying yes to anything, but in front of him, she only contradicted him, making him mad!
Just as he was about to go in, someone else spoke.
¡°Sister Shi, did Old Master Chu call you again?¡±
¡°Is he arranging another blind date for Chu?
¡°But Chu just gave Sister Shi a piece of jewelry from an exhibition centerst night!¡±
¡°Yeah, how much did that jewelry cost?¡¯ ¡°ording to the newspaper, the media has calcted it. It s about 85 million in total.¡±
¡°Oh my god, that¡¯s so much money, Sister Shi, why did Chu give you so much jewelry?¡±
¡°I saw on the news that it said Chu and Sister Shi¡ office romance. Is it for
real?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang pricked his ears.
Then Shi Huan¡¯s soothing but cold voice calmly responded, ¡°How many times have i already told you guys, Chu simply wanted to buy some jewelryst night and I happened to be apanying him. So he pulled me along to create this publicity stunt. I guess you could call it a form of thepany¡¯s promotional strategy. As for all these things, they¡¯re probably going to be gifted to his girlfriends in the future. Do you understand now?
ChuXiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
Inside the secretarial office, the assistant Xiaoliu was filled with admiration.
¡°Wow, Chu is really rich and willful, huh?
¡°Exactly! He actually spent so much money just for publicity! ¡°Doesn¡¯t a few tens of millions mean nothing to our Chu?¡± ¡°Yeah, anyway Chu changes his girlfriend every month.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so jealous of Chu¡¯s girlfriends, they get such expensive gifts just by apanying him for a month.¡±
¡°Exactly¡¡±
¡°Secretary Shi!¡±
The sudden cold voice startled the secretarial department into silence.
Damn it.
Lately, Chu always appeared out of nowhere, scaring the hell out of people. Thank god they didn¡¯t speak ill of Chu just now, who knows how much he had heard¡
Everyone kept their heads down, quietly whispering in their hearts.
Shi Huan stood up. ¡°Chu, did you need something?¡±
¡°Come to my office.¡± Having said this, Chu Xiuhuang left with a grave expression.
When Shi Huan left with her notebook, the secretarial department once again erupted in noise.
¡°Oh no, it seems like Chu isn¡¯t in a good mood.
¡°Did he hear us discussing yesterday¡¯s matter?¡¯
¡°But we didn¡¯t say anything much!¡±
¡°Besides, it¡¯s rxation time now.¡±
¡°Chu must think we gossip too much!¡±
¡°So he asked Secretary Shi to lecture us?¡±
¡°We feel bad for Secretary Shi.¡±
**
Sitting in his office chair behind the desk, Chu Xiuhuang squinted at Shi Huan, his face stern.
Shi Huan, however, seemed unbothered. She opened her notebook, pressed her pen, and began speaking formally, ¡°Sir Chu, what can I do for you?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang observed her, remaining silent.
¡°Sir Chu?¡± Shi Huan slightly frowned.
Chu Xiuhuang stayed silent.
Just when Shi Huan was considering waving her hand in front of his eyes, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice finally resonated, ¡°Did grandfather call you?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°What did he say?¡±
Shi Huan reported in detail, ¡°The old master asked me not to arrange any more femalepanions for you, but rather to get to know your preferences as soon as possible, and help you settle your major life event.¡±
¡°My preferences. Secretary Shi, you don¡¯t know them?¡± Chu Xiuhuang sneered. ¡°What kind of coffee I like to drink, how cooked I like my steak, which designer I wear¡weren¡¯t these all arranged by you?¡±
Shi Huan replied, ¡°What the old master meant was, he wanted me to understand Sir Chu¡¯s preference for women, that is, for your future marriage partner.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Chu Xiuhuang nodded.
Understood.
Chapter 396: 396, you want to get rid of him?
Chapter 396: you want to get rid of him?
Shi Huan then asked him, ¡°May I ask, CEO Chu, do you have any specific preferences or requirements for your other half in marriage?
Upon further thought, she has indeed been organizing Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s affairs
all these years.
As for women, he didn¡¯t have any specific requirements either. Each time it was her who arranged, and then he would say he was satisfied, not satisfied, or very satisfied.
She had been studying, trying to find a pattern, yet while traces could be found in everything else, Chu Xiuhuang seemed indifferent, yet also not so indifferent when it came to women.
What kind of woman he really liked didn¡¯t seem to have a specific image.
Because every woman was dumped in less than a month¡
Therefore, Shi Huan thought it was indeed necessary to understand him better.
Chu Xiuhuang gave augh, his attractive fingers picked up a lighter, and lit up
a cigarette.
Whisps of smoke rose in the office.
Soon, a scent of tobo came wafting over.
After a bout of clouding smoke, Chu Xiuhuang began speaking slowly, ¡°First,
she must be a woman.¡±
The pen in Shi Huan¡¯s hand paused.
What kind of requirement was this?
¡°Cannot be a gay man, nor a crossdresser, I don¡¯t like.
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Alright then.
¡°Second,¡± Chu Xiuhuang blew a smoke ring, tilted his head back, and looked at
Shi Huan from below, ¡°She must be smarter and more capable than you.¡±
Again Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
¡°Why aren¡¯t you writing?¡± Chu Xiuhuangughed, ¡°Do you think, you¡¯re so
smart and capable, no other woman canpare to you?¡±
Shi Huan picked up her pen and while writing she said, ¡°CEO Chu is
overthinking.¡±
Overthinking¡¯s Chu Xiuhuang continued tough, ¡°Third, she must be like you, Secretary Shi, ready to be called upon whenever needed, even if it¡¯s two o¡¯clock in the morning and I¡¯m drunk, if I call you, you muste within half an
hour.¡±
All Shi Huan could do was continue writing.
¡°Fourth.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang watched her as she took notes, squinting.
One hand held the hardcover notebook¡¯s back, while the other held a fountain pen. Her head was slightly lowered, allowing only a view of her cute, upturned little nose and the faint glimpse of her pink lips.
With a quick gulp, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice suddenly became somewhat husky, ¡°She shouldn¡¯t be too tall, best if she reaches up to my chest, easier to hug that way. She should have straight legs, they look good in skirts. Her skin should be light, the lighter the better. Her hair should smell good, she should not wear heavy makeup, no lipstick¡¡±
The more Shi Huan listened, the more she felt something was off.
Unavoidably, she thought about that day at the club.
In the dark and luxurious private room, she fell onto the sofa, and he fell down
as well.
¡°Secretary Shi, why is your face red?¡±
The sudden approach of his deep voice and the faint smell of tobo from his nose left Shi Huan in a daze.
Raising her head, she realized that Chu Xiuhuang had made his way over to her at some point.
The intense pressure made her step backward right away, ¡°It¡¯s a bit warm.¡±
¡°Warm?¡± Chu Xiuhuang tilted his head to look out the window, ¡°It¡¯s raining outside and the window¡¯s open. How could it be warm?
¡°¡It¡¯s stuffy.¡±
ChuXiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
Before he could say anything, Shi Huan immediately asked, ¡°CEO Chu, do you
have any other requirements?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang held a cigarette in one hand, his wickedly handsome eyes mysteriously and deeply gazing at her, and then¡
¡°No more, you can leave now.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Shi Huan quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned around and had only taken two steps¡
¡°Wait a minute.¡±
Shi Huan could not help but roll her eyes.
As she turned around, her small face was asposed and indifferent as always, ¡°CEO Chu, do you have any other instructions?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang put out his cigarette and began walking towards her.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps¡
He kept on walking.
Shi Huan backed away in a hurry, but Chu Xiuhuang kept moving forward until
Shi Huan¡¯s back hit the hard door.
¡°CEO Chu, you¡¡± she started.
Chu Xiuhuang stepped forward, raised one arm, and sessfully pinned her against the wall, his action referred to as ¡®kabedon¡¯.
¡°So, is it that you will help resolve any issue I have?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s effective stare made the room electric.
For a moment, his electric gaze seemed to redden her pale face even further, slowly seeping through her fairplexion, as though ayer of rouge had been applied to it.
It was incredibly appealing.
Chu Xiuhuang hadn¡¯t forgotten the fleeting glimpse he¡¯d had when he removed her sses that day.
Unlike her usual traditional, old-fashioned style, Shi Huan without sses was petite, exquisite, and beautiful¡
A little delicate and pitiful.
I knew all along, considering that her elder sister was so attractive, the younger one wouldn¡¯t have been far behind.
However, over these years, Shi Huan had always dressed this way from the day
I met her, and so I got used to it, always thinking that she was ordinary-looking.
As Chu Xiuhuang pondered¡
¡°Chu, you¡¯re standing too close,¡± Shi Huan warned hurriedly.
¡°Am I? I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Seeing her panic-stricken eyes behind her sses, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s thin lips curled into a devilish smile, ¡°The other night at the club, we were even closer.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
She dared not breathe!
She quickly pulled herptop up to shield her face.
She finally felt a bit at ease.
But Chu Xiuhuang was displeased. He gave a contemptuous nce at that bothersomeptop between them, and squinted his eyes.
¡°Chu.¡±
Shi Huan had no choice but to push him away.
Such behavior was quite inappropriate in their current circumstance.
But Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist. ¡°Little Huanhuan, you haven¡¯t answered my question. Will you solve any problem for me?¡±
In the past, Shi Huan undoubtedly would have replied, Yes.
This was hermitment she made on her first day as a secretary.
But considering the current scenario¡
She had an ominous feeling.
Shi Huan could only graciously reply, ¡°As long as I¡¯m able to, I¡¯ll certainly do my best to solve it.¡±
¡°Good,¡± Chu Xiuhuang smiled faintly, clutching her wrist, ¡°Recently, I¡¯m always in terrible pain, and strangely, seeing you triggers it. Do you want to¡ help me solve this?¡±
Caught off guard, Shi Huan didn¡¯t know how to react.
Herptop fell to the ground¡
¡°Little Huanhuan.¡±
The next moment.
¡°¡damn!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang blurted out a curse, sweat already beading on his forehead.
Was this secretary Shi trying to disable him?
It hurt like hell
Without waiting for his response, Shi Huan turned around, opened the door and ran away.
Someone wasing towards the corridor.
¡°Secretary Shi!¡± Shen Bingbing¡¯s sharp voice was the first to be heard.
Shi Huan had no choice but to pause, pretending to beposed, ¡°Director
Shen.¡±
It was a few representatives of Bingo Creative.
She remembered now, there was a work discussion arranged with Bingo at one o¡¯clock in the afternoon today.
Shen Bingbing looked at her; her cunning eyes filled with curiosity, ¡°Secretary Shi, what are you doing with a pen?¡±
Shi Huan looked down to realize she was left with just a pen, herptop was left in Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s office.
She maintained herposure, ¡°Just went back to the office to get some stuff. Then she turned to an employee standing by, ¡°Xiaoliu, please take the clients to the conference room.¡±
But Shen Bingbing asked, ¡°Why go to the conference room? Is Mr. Chu not in thepany?¡±
She nced at the half-opened door behind them.
Secretary Shi just ran out from there, holding a pen. How could Mr. Chu possibly not be there?
Even so, she didn¡¯t suspect anything, despite the gossip she¡¯d read¡
Because she never thought that Chu Xiuhuang would be interested in Shi Huan. After all, they had been working together for so long. If he was interested, he would¡¯ve made a move long ago, right?
Not to mention, Shi Huan was in-looking and from an ordinary family. Absolutely impossible, right!
¡°Mr. Chu is in the office.¡± Shi Huan¡¯s lips tightened slightly, ¡°but now, he is¡ probably not avable.¡±
After all, she just kicked him. He might need some time to¡ cough, recover. Shen Bingbing nodded, assuming he was with other clients.
Although she was a bit disappointed not to see Mr. Chu, she could only smile and say, ¡°That¡¯s all right, we¡¯ll go to the conference room.
As everyone turned to leave, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice suddenly echoed behind them, ¡°I¡¯m avable now.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Shen Bingbing quickly halted and turned around, her voice much softer and sweeter, ¡°Oh, Mr. Chu, you¡¯re in the office after all. That¡¯s great. Let s go to the meeting now.¡±
Shi Huan lowered her head.
Does Mr. Chu recover so quickly?
So quickly?
She couldn¡¯t resist stealing a nce, only to find his gaze, as if looking to kill, met hers.
Shi Huan again:¡±¡¡±
Uh.
Chapter 397: 397, Baby-faced female doctor
Chapter 397: Baby-faced female doctor
¡°The meeting is canceled.¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s ominous voice echoed.
Everyone around him froze, wondering what Xiuhuang was upset about now.
Shen Bingbing waspletely at a loss.
Hadn¡¯t he just said it was super convenient?
Why is he canceling the meeting now?
Chu Xiuhuang looked at Shi Huan and dered word byword, ¡°I need to go to the hospital for treatment.¡±
¡°¡¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions instantly became even more horrified.
As for Shi Huan¡
¡°It¡¯ste, I¡¯m scared of bing impotent.¡± He strode forward, ¡°Shi, drive!¡±
As if swept up by a gust of dark wind, he left just like that.
Shi Huan felt helpless.
She couldn¡¯t just not go in front of everyone, as that would be too conspicuous.
She could only apologize, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Director Shen, Xiaoliu, please arrange today¡¯s meeting and remember to send me the meeting materials.¡±
At her signal, Xiaoliu scurried over to begin hosting, ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go to the conference room first.¡±
Shi Huan returned to her seat, picked up the car keys, when Shen Bingbing ran back in.
Bingbing was all eager for gossip, ¡°Secretary Shi, was Xiuhuang joking just now? Something about medical treatment, bing impotent¡ that can¡¯t be possible, right?¡±
Such a handsome man, if he really couldn¡¯t perform, she would have to rethink her ns.
After all, how could she marry a husband who couldn¡¯t have sex, no matter how rich and powerful he was?
Such a loss.
Shi Huan gave a small smile, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±
After all, she is a woman with limited strength.
Moreover, Xiuhuang has practiced kickboxing, and his reaction speed is unmatched.
She didn¡¯t believe that she could have really injured him.
Therefore, Shen Bingbing nodded vigorously, ¡°Exactly, how is that even possible? Xiuhuang really knows how to joke huhuhu.¡±
Shi Huan responded in kind, ¡°huhuhu.¡±
*

When Shi Huan arrived at the underground car park, Chu Xiuhuang was already waiting next to the Cayenne, a cigarette hanging from his thin lips, engulfed in a cloud of smoke.
His phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, his arms crossed, his long legs crossed at an angle. His posturing could not fail to impress.
As she approached, the strong scent of tobo hit her.
¡°Xiuhuang, smoking is bad for your health.¡± Shi Huan blurted out her thoughts.
Chu Xiuhuang lifted his chin in response: ¡°Huh.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Once in the car, Chu Xiuhuangmanded swiftly, ¡°Go to Nangong Hospital, the urology department.¡±
Shi Huan was shocked, ¡°Urology?¡±
She thought he was just making it up in front of everyone; was he really going to go to the hospital for a doctor¡¯s examination?
¡°I was injured by you just now, and must get it checked.¡± Chu Xiuhuang said solemnly.
¡°You¡¯re not that fragile.¡± Shi Huan blurted out again.
¡°¡What do you think?¡± Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with an unreadable smile.
¡°But¡¡± Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Is it so serious that you need to see a doctor?¡±
She did not believe it.
Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, why don¡¯t you check? See if you really injured me?¡±
Shi Huan was scared to the point of gripping the steering wheel tightly. ¡°I believe, I believe. Xiuhuang, I¡¯ll get you to the hospital right away.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang slightly smiled and stubbed out his cigarette butt.
*
*
Half an hourter, they arrived at Nangong Hospital,
Shi Huan resignedly tagged along and registered him. Then they arrived at the men¡¯s urology department on the 11th floor.
She had lived for over twenty years, and this was the first time she found herself at such a ce. The patients around her were all men, young and old. Just the thought that each of them was here because of some problem was¡ Awkward.
Shi Huan tried her best to hide her difort and dared not look around.
Until, over the announcement system, ¡°Patient number 11, please get ready.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang scoffed to himself.
God dammit, the department was on the 11th floor, even the number ticket was 11. How ridiculous!
He stood up, his phoenix eyes suggestive, ¡°Wait for me here. If you dare run away, I¡¯ll beat you!¡±
Shi Huan twitched at the corner of her mouth, ¡°Understood.¡±
*
*
Inside the department room.
A female doctor was filling out the check-up form of the previous patient.
Hearing the door open, she spoke, ¡°Unbutton your pants, pull them down, and lie down.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t.¡±
The female doctor looked up in surprise, then upon seeing the visitor, even more shock appeared on her face. ¡°Brother Chu, what brought you here?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang walked to her, pulled out a chair, and sat down nonchntly. ¡°Help me get a certificate.¡±
¡°What type of certificate?¡± Nangong Chu¡¯s face turned a little red.
Although she had been interning for several months, Nangong Chu felt her skin was still not thick enough.
Whenever she thought about the fact she would have to examine a variety of¡ male bodies for decades toe¡
She nearly fell into despair!
Chu Xiuhuangughed and said, ¡°Just say that I¡¯ve suffered severe damage, that I¡¯m not normal anymore, that I might even end up childless and grandsonless. However serious you think it is, that¡¯s how you should write it.¡±
Nangong Chu opened her mouth in confusion.
¡°Forget it,¡± Chu Xiuhuang came up with another idea, ¡°Just open up a sickroom for me and state that I must stay at the hospital for testing. Let¡¯s start off with a three-month luxury package.¡±
In this way, I can avoid the blind dates arranged by my grandpa and have the secretary serving me tea and water every day.
A two-bird-with-one-stone solution!
Chu Xiuhuang made up his mind, pped hisrge hand down, and said,
¡°Alright, just write it that way! Start writing.¡±
Nangong Chu pulled a reluctant face, ¡°But¡ this is not right. The Deputy Dean said that the hospital does not allow any deception. If you do, you will be fired, fined, and can never work in this circle again.¡±
¡°Deception?¡± Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the proof of the sterilization operation written by you?¡±
Nangong Chu pouted, ¡°Brother Chu, please don¡¯t push me, I¡¯m really scared of being fired.¡±
¡°You are his own sister. Would he dare to fire you?¡±
Nangong Chu pouted even more, ¡°He has too many sisters. What¡¯s my statuspared to them?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
It¡¯s true, the Nangong Family had the most women, which was why Nangong Ci, the young master, was so popr.
So he said, ¡°Wait here.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang took out his mobile phone and directly called Nangong Ci, sinctly saying four words, ¡°Come to Urology.¡±
Nangong Chu: ¡°¡¡±
Was he going to pull strings in front of her?
*
*
Shi Huan had been waiting outside for a long time.
All the clinics in this building were for male urology, and more than one outpatient clinic. People had beening out from the neighboring specialist clinic, but Chu Xiuhuang had note out yet.
It can¡¯t be that serious, can it?
Just as Shi Huan was worrying¡
¡°Secretary Shi.¡±
Shi Huan quickly stood up, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Came to apany Second Brother for a check-up?¡± Nangong Ci said with a smile that he could not suppress. His tone was even more ambiguous. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Secretary Shi, appearances can indeed be deceiving.¡±
To have Second Brother injured to the point that he had toe to the hospital for a check-up¡
Wow, my Secretary Shi is incredible!
Shi Huan had no idea what was going on in his dirty mind.
She assumed he was talking about her kicking Chu Xiuhuang, and her face flushed red from embarrassment.
Seeing this, Nangong Ci could not help butugh even more mischievously.
Just when he wanted to gossip more, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID and knowing that a certain person was getting impatient,
Nangong Ci said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go check on Second Brother.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After sending off Nangong Ci, Shi Huan continued to wait outside.
Another half an hour passed and the door to the consulting room finally opened.
She quickly got up and walked over, ¡°Mr. Chu, are you okay?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang looked at her coldly, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m okay?¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Ah¡¡± Nangong Ci pretended to sigh, ¡°Second Brother, please take care.¡±
After saying this, he patted Chu Xiuhuang on the shoulder and left.
Shi Huan¡¯s heart tightened.
¡®Please take care¡¯?
At this moment, the female doctor¡¯s serious voice rang out, ¡°What is your rtionship with the patient?¡±
Shi Huan quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯m his secretary.¡±
Nangong Chu handed over a diagnosis certificate, ¡°The patient has severe rupture and injury to the organs, needs to be hospitalized for a period of time, and undergo further examination and treatment.¡±
¡°Hospitalized?¡± Shi Huan was stunned.
¡°Yes.¡± Nangong Chu nodded, ¡°You can go and handle the hospitalization procedures now.¡±
But Shi Huan felt that this female doctor seemed unreliable?
She looked only in her early twenties, with a round baby face. Even her features were round, still carrying baby fat. Her expressionless face¡ looked like Little Luoluo when she tried to act like an adult.
¡°Doctor, did you get it wrong?¡± Shecouldn¡¯t help but speak up.
She felt that this female doctor with a baby face looked like she was fooling around and didn¡¯t seem credible at all.
Nangong Chu¡¯s small face hardened, ¡°Are you doubting my diagnosis?¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
If it were ordinary circumstances, she would have really wanted tough. Was this ¡°doctor¡± sure she wasn¡¯t an impersonator?
Suddenly, a warm touch on her shoulder startled her, Chu Xiuhuang, with a thin-lipped, suggestive smile said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Doctor. My secretary didn¡¯t mean it, it¡¯s just¡ her concern is mixed with confusion.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Nangong Chu began to instruct them on what to pay attention to, and finally called a nurse, ¡°Xiaozhu, you go with them and handle the hospitalization procedures first.¡±
¡°Okay, please follow me.¡±
Shi Huan was dumbfounded as she was led away by Chu Xiuhuang.
She handled the hospitalization procedures, picked up the necessary hospital items, and finally arrived at the top floor of the hospitalization department, entering a high-ss VIP ward.
Chapter 398: 398, cut off the offspring
Chapter 398: cut off the offspring
A nurse was instructing Shi Huan on how to use the medical equipment in the room while Chu Xiuhuang went to the bathroom with his hospital clothes. After a moment, he came out dressed in the hospital gown.
¡°How do I look?¡±
Having heard the voice, Shi Huan turned back, ¡°What?¡±
¡°What do you think of my new look?¡± Chu Xiuhuang was leaning against the wall with one hand, bending one long leg in a rather mboyant pose. ¡°Handsome or not?¡±
Shi Huan pursed her lips, ¡°Very handsome.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Take a few pictures of me.¡±
Shi Huan:
The nurse on the side stifled herughter.
It was her first encounter with such a vain patient.
Even being half-paralyzed didn¡¯t dampen his vanity.
After Shi Huan took a few photos of him, and the nurse left, Chu Xiuhuangid down on the bed and started negotiating, ¡°What¡¯s the n?¡±
Shi Huan looked at him, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
Why did it feel like Chu Xiuhuang was always saying something she didn¡¯t understand?
His eyes slid to the corner, as Chu Xiuhuang red at her from the bottom, I m hurt this badly because of you, how are you going to take responsibility?¡± ¡°¡¡± Shi Huan frowned, ¡°Mr. Chu, what did the doctor say?¡±
She would never believe that his¡ thing could be so fragile.
¡°You heard what the doctor said.¡±
Thinking of the young, baby-faced female doctor, Shi Huan immediately frowned and suggested, ¡°Mr. Chu, should we get a second opinion? The doctor from before seemed a little inexperienced.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face immediately turned cold, ¡°You seem inexperienced too, but you managed to kick my¡ vital part to pieces, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Anyway, you have to take responsibility for the damage you¡¯ve caused.¡±
¡°What does Mr. Chu mean?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang smirked, ¡°During my hospitalization, you must take care of my daily needs. You can only leave when I¡¯ve fully recovered.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Her quick refusal made Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face darken again, ¡°No?¡±
Shi Huan exined, ¡°Thepany is very busy every day, and I can¡¯t take time off.¡±
¡°Allpany operations can be paused.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°The boss is on the verge of bing sterile, what¡¯s the point of making money?¡±
Shi Huan was speechless, ¡°Mr. Chu, could you stop being so wilful?¡±
Although he indeed financed and founded thepany, she had been working there for five years and had given all her efforts.
The development of thepany had been going well, but now just because the boss was hospitalized she had to pause all the operations. How could he be so arbitrary?
¡°I started thepany, I can do what I want. If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll dere bankruptcy tomorrow.¡±
Shi Huan was even more speechless, ¡°But I have things to do at home. My uncle and aunt have gone abroad, and I have to take care of the child.¡±
After thinking for a while, she quickly suggested again, ¡°Mr. Chu, let me hire a few nurses for you, young, beautiful, and capable¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want other women to look after me. It¡¯s filthy.¡±
¡°How about I ask the Chu family to send some maids from home to take care of you?¡±
Do you think I would be willing to broadcast this matter?¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Who had just announced in front of all his customers and employees about his potential sterility?
¡°Stop talking nonsense. You damaged my lower body; isn¡¯t it reasonable for me to ask you to take care of me? Or else¡¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyes sparkled evilly, Are you nning to marry me and take responsibility for the rest of my life?¡± Mr. Chu, I think I¡¯d better take care of you first.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
Shit!
She agreed so quickly, how terrified would she have to be to marry him?
Eh?

Nancheng University.
In the evening, Su Wanwan had just finished dinner when she received a call from Huo Jingshen, ¡°Come to the gate.¡±
¡°Why? I¡¯m about to go to the library for my evening self-study.¡±
She had already reserved a seat and couldn¡¯t bear to let it go to waste.
Huo Jingshen said impatiently, ¡°Xiuhuang is in the hospital, I¡¯m taking you to visit him. I¡¯ll drive you back once we¡¯re done.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was hospitalized?
Su Wanwan found this hard to believe.
Such an arrogant and charming man could get sick?
You ate his meal at noon, and now he¡¯s hospitalized. Don¡¯tyou think you should visit?¡± argued Huo Jingshen.
Su Wanwan was annoyed, ¡°It was you who took me there for the meal!¡±
No free lunch!
Having no other option, she dressed up and went to the school gate.
As the lights lit up, the sight of a handsome man and a luxury car was an enchanting spectacle that caught the attention of passersby.
Huo Jingshen stood by the car, perfectly proportioned, wearing a ck coat with a dark plush sweater. The matching dark tie hung elegantly at the corbone of his white shirt. Every move he made showcased the elegance and taste of a mature man.
Su Wanwan opened the car door and jumped in.
When Huo Jingshen got back into the car, he couldn¡¯t help but re at her,
¡°What were you doing standing outside? Don¡¯t you feel cold?¡±
¡°Sweetie, are you concerned about your husband¡¯s health?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
She was just thinking he was trying too hard to be shy.
However, Huo Jingshen hinted, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your husband is very strong and canst a long time.¡±
SuWenwen: ¡°¡¡±
Can¡¯t we have a proper conversation?
¡°Unlike someone.¡± Huo Jingshen said as he drove the car out.
Su Wenwen thus asked, ¡°Is your friend ill or injured?¡±
¡°Injured.¡±
¡°Where is the injury?¡±
Huo Jingshen answered ambiguously, ¡°Below.¡±
Below?
Su Wenwen frowned.
Could it be a broken leg?
¡°Was it a car ident?¡± Su Wenwen couldn¡¯t resist her curiosity, ¡°Or was he beaten up by someone?¡±
Huo Jingshen gave a faint smile, ¡°Injured by himself.¡±
Injured by himself?
Su Wenwen became even more confused: ¡°¡¡±
Arriving at the hospital, Su Wanwan suggested while seeing a flower shop outside, ¡°Shall we buy a bunch of flowers?¡±
Huo Jingshen drove into the gate without blinking, ¡°He doesn¡¯t like flowers.¡±
¡°Should we buy something else?¡±
Isn¡¯t it unseemly to visit a sick person at the hospital without bringing anything?
Huo Jingshen nced at her, ¡°I¡¯ll send him a red envelopeter.¡±
Su Wenwen nodded.
That works.
After all, they are very familiar with each other, and red envelopes are more practical.
So they entered the hospital room empty-handed.
It seemed that Chu Xiuhuang had just eaten. Lu Chenyu was sitting on the sofa,
Shi Huan was the only other person in the room.
But Shi Huan was busy doing dishes and cleaning tables, while the two men were chatting.
When they saw the visitors, Lu Chenyu greeted them in a book-like manner,
¡°Big brother, sister-inw.¡±
Su Wanwan smiled and then began to observe Chu Xiuhuang.
He was wearing a full set of blue and white striped patient clothing, sitting semi-reclined on the hospital bed with his legs up, his eyes arrogant and domineering, not looking like a patient but rather someone who came to enjov himself.
Looking at Lu Chenyu, who had taken off his coat because he was indoors and was wearing a neat dark blue suit with a perfectly tied tie.
He must have rushed here directly from hisw firm, right?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Knowing that his best friend was hospitalized, he was the first to rush over to visit. These two must truly love each other, no doubt.
Seeing Shi Huan going to wash fruits, Su Wenwen followed her quickly,
¡°Secretary Shi, let me help you.¡±
After the two women left, Chu Xiuhuang instantly frowned, severely using, ¡°Big brother, you and your wife just came empty-handed? I remember when ¡¯ the youngdy was hospitalizedst time, I had my secretary deliver flowers and gifts and even visited personally¡ Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being unreasonable?¡±
Huo Jingshen simply took out his phone, ¡°Your sister-inw cares about you.
She asked me to specifically send you a red envelope.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang:
The phone rang, he picked it up to look.
Huo Jingshen had really sent a WeChat red envelope in the WJY group.
But Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t even bother to open it.
Is hecking money?
The most hated thing is the WeChat red envelope, no sincerity at all!
But the happy voice of Nangong Ci was quickly heard outside, ¡°I grabbed eighty-eight yuan haha!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
Damn idiot!
Big brother, sister-inw.¡± Nangong Ci came in happily like a little magpie,
¡°I grabbed eighty-eight yuan!¡±
After saying this, he began to urge others, ¡°Second brother, fourth brother, big brother sent a red envelope. Why aren¡¯t you guys grabbing it?¡±
Lu Chenyu silently picked up his phone.
¡°Holy cow, fourth brother quietly grabbed more than a hundred!¡± Nangong Ci
looked at the phone, ¡°Second brother, grab it quickly!¡±
¡°Grab your damn head!¡± Chu Xiuhuang cursed directly.
Nangong Ci: ¡°¡¡±
If you don¡¯t grab it, don¡¯t grab it. Why scold people?
The next second.
Hahaha.¡± Nangong Ci broke into a carefreeughter again, ¡°Second brother
this luck, one penny hahaha, are you intending to remain single?¡±
ChuXiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
Damn it!
It would be better not to grab it!
Today seems to sh with the number 11!

Inside the bathroom, Su Wanwan heard theughtering from outside and curiously asked, ¡°Secretary Shi, where exactly is your boss injured?¡±
Just now he was sitting with his legs up, now he is chatting so happily with everyone.
He does not look like he¡¯s injured at all.
Shi Huan pursed her lips and vaguely said, ¡°He has some problems down there.¡±
¡°Which ¡®down there¡¯ are you referring to?¡± Su Wanwan didn¡¯t make the
connection, ¡°Just tell me directly. It¡¯s just the two of us here.¡±
Shi Huan thus had to be straightforward, ¡°His ¡®old two¡¯ has some problems.¡±
Su Wanwan:
She blushed.
My goodness, you didn¡¯t need to be THAT explicit!

Chapter 399: 399, too embarrassed to see people
Chapter 399: too embarrassed to see people
After washing the fruit, the two returned to the ward, instantly quietening the room that had been filled with chatter.
After all, some topics simply couldn¡¯t be broached with a woman present.
Seeing therge te of strawberries in Shi Huan¡¯s hand, Nangong Ci reached to grab some but was immediately stopped by Chu Xiuhuang, ¡°That¡¯s my fruit!¡±
Nangong Ci could only retract his hand muttering an internal,¡±¡¡±
Stingy second brother, boohoo.
Shi Huan set the fruit te in front of Chu Xiuhuang, nced around the room, and then offered, ¡°I¡¯ll go wash some more fruit, okay?¡±
¡°Great, great, Secretary Shi, you¡¯re the best.¡± Nangong Ci was pleased ¨C he was going to get some fruit after all.
To his surprise, Chu Xiuhuang immediately protested, ¡°She¡¯s MY secretary!¡±
Once again, Nangong Ci couldn¡¯t help but mumble internally, ¡°¡¡±
Man, this was a stark disy of possessiveness from Chu Xiuhuang!
¡°Secretary Shi.¡± Chu Xiuhuang, sprawled like an emperor, instructed, ¡°Feed me some fruit.¡±
Shi Huan¡¯s eye twitched in response, ¡°Chu, didn¡¯t you just hurt your hand?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t my hand be sore? Feed me.¡±
Left without much choice, Shi Huan proceeded to feed him a strawberry.
With narrowed eyes Chu Xiuhuang savored the bite, ¡°Mmm, so sweet.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but recall Huo Jingshen¡¯s words from before.
He had imed that Chu Xiuhuang had injured himself.
And now Chu Xiuhuang was iming his hands were sore.
In a sh, she envisioned a dramatic scene involving Chu Xiuhuang and Lu Chenyu having a grand showdown, culminating in a hospital stay¡
Good gracious!
Su Wanwan felt she could no longer face these two anymore.
Husband, I want to go back to school¡ Her wide-eyed look at Huo Jingshen was meant tomunicate her hint, but¡
Huo Jingshen understood her otherwise, ¡°Baby, do you want a strawberry too?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
God!
There was absolutely no mutual understanding between them!
Fortunately, the sound of hurried footsteps from the corridor interrupted them. Soon, the door was pushed open, and the first one to rush in was the head of the Chu Family, followed by an eager crowd of rtives, both known and unknown, to Su Wanwan.
Among them, Su Wanwan recognized only Chu Shiwu and Chu Jingyi.
Uponying eyes on Su Wanwan, Chu Jingyi immediately turned away her attention with a cold demeanor.
¡°Bigbrother, sister-inw.¡± Chu Shiwu, however, greeted them politely.
Su Wanwan remembered her ssmate Wu Ying, who, since theirst meal together, had taken a liking to Chu Shiwu and had been pestering her for his WeChat ever since.
¡°What¡¯s your WeChat?¡±
Chu Shiwu was taken aback, not expecting to be asked for his WeChat by his sister-inw, and instinctively looked towards Huo Jingshen for approval.
Su Wanwan was puzzled, ¡°Why are you looking at him?¡±
Chu Shiwu felt embarrassed, and despite a lingering warning look from someone, he hesitantly took out his phone, ¡°Sister-inw, let me scan your QR code.¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Su Wanwan also pulled out her phone.
Just as their WeChats had been linked, the sound of Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Shiwu,e out with me.¡±
Su Wanwan was bewildered.
Chu Shiwu, on the other hand, was visibly distressed.
If he had known earlier that Huo Jingshen wasing to visit his brother, he would have nevere with his parents.
Thanks to Huo Jingshen¡¯smandst time, he had had to apany a few of his female ssmates for dinner and then drive them back to the dorm. A girl named Wu Ying had since been pestering him relentlessly to add her WeChat¡
So now, at the sight of Huo Jingshen, he couldn¡¯t help but feel frightened!
After a while, Su Wanwan left the ward.
As the elders of Chu family bombarded their grandson with questions about his mysterious illness ¨C questions Chu Xiuhuang conveniently dodged, the room was filled with their incessant chatter.
Coming outside, she heard Huo Jingshen speaking.
¡°What I just told you¡¡±
¡°I got it, I got it all.¡± Chu Shiwu was constantly reassuring,pletely bbergasted by Huo Jingshen¡¯s overreaction just because he had added his wife on WeChat.
Even respect for the old and love for the young came up¡
His sister-inw was two years younger than him, for goodness sake!
Huo Jingshen nodded, seemingly content. ¡°I¡¯ll take your sister-inw home first, exin to Grandpa for me.¡±
¡°Okay, goodbye brother, goodbye sister-inw!¡± Chu Shiwu was waving off them off energetically likehe was bidding farewell to a gue.
Please leave soon!
**
Once inside the elevator, Su Wanwan asked him, ¡°What did you say to him?¡±
How could he scare the child like that?
¡°Nothing much.¡± Huo Jingshen held her small hand, ¡°Just gave him some life advice.¡±
As Su Wanwan was about to speak, the elevator doors opened at the level below, and a woman walked in.
After pressing the button for the 10th floor, she kept talking on her cell phone, ¡°The doctor says she can¡¯t handle stress. I don¡¯t want her to know about Ye Bei¡¯s cheating. That¡¯s how my dad divorced her. She¡¯ll be traumatized. You saw her reaction that day, it was too extreme. She really didn¡¯t mean it, she just got you confused with Ye Bei¡¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
So that was what it was?
¡°My mom is in the hospital now.¡± Tian Ye said, starting to cry, ¡°That day, I had just wanted you to cheer her up. I was worried you might not agree, so I didn¡¯t tell you in advance that it was her birthday. Yebai, can you forgive me this once?¡±
The elevator door opened on the 10th floor, and she walked out immediately.
Su Wanwan intentionally took a nce.
The 10th floor was the psychiatric department?
What kind of bigshot has Mo Xiaose gotten tangled up with now?
**
Lishui Bay Vi.
Study on the first floor.
As the time approached eight in the evening, Chen Jin said, ¡°Finish all these problems.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Mo Weiyi obediently nodded.
Chen Jin picked up the hot drink on the table, sipping while looking at Mo Weiyi.
The orange light poured down from above, illuminating Mo Weiyi as she kept her head down. Her eyshes were long and curled, her cheeks filled with youthful cogen, and her side profile almost wless.
She really was very beautiful, a good match for her husband.
A handsome man¡¯s face appeared in Chen Jin¡¯s mind.
Since that fleeting glimpsest time, she hadn¡¯t seen Xiaobai since. He seemed really busy.
It made sense; supporting such a beautiful and delicate wife was definitely a full-time job.
A feeling simr to disdain began to rise in Chen Jin¡¯s heart.
She had been tutoring Mo Weiyi for a whole month now, but¡ she was really ipetent!
Although she was already in her third year of college, why couldn¡¯t she handle basic courses from the first and second year?
The idea of making the top ten in her final exams was just a pipe dream!
If it weren¡¯t for the high sry of this tutoring job, the way the servant treated her, and the luxury car rides home every night¡ Chen Jin would have almost quit before.
She couldn¡¯t stand particrly dumb students.
And what was even more annoying was that Mo Weiyi was so serious. Whenever she didn¡¯t understand something, she would ask Chen Jin over and over again.
Once when Chen Jin couldn¡¯t teach her and it was time to wrap up the lesson, she casually mentioned Mo Weiyi could ask her questions via WeChat during the day. Since then, she received messages from Mo Weiyi every day.
It was really bothersome.
She couldn¡¯t understand what Xiaobai saw in Mo Weiyi.
Just because she was pretty?
So being a scatterbrain didn¡¯t matter?
As Chen Jin was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of an engine outside.
Mo Weiyi heard it too and looked up, her voice full of excitement, ¡°Is Xiaobai back?¡±
Chen Jin immediately tapped on the table, ¡°Focus on your work.¡±
Mo Weiyi nibbled on the end of her pen and had to suppress her excitement, burying her head to continue her work.
Chen Jin then said, ¡°I¡¯m going out to make a phone call. Call me when you finish your problems.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
Chen Jin stepped outside and just as she was closing the door to the study, she heard footsteps.
Soon, Xiao Yebai entered the vi, standing in the foyer to change his shoes.
The bright indoor light projected onto him, seeming to wrap him in a gentle halo.
He was looking down; his handsome, stereoscopic features appeared much softer as a result, and his tall, slim figure, like a ma, drew her full attention.
Seeing Chen Jin standing in the living room, Xiao Yebai¡¯s face didn¡¯t reveal much of an expression, he just nodded at her.
Chen Jin¡¯s heart fluttered, and she quickly nodded back, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Young Master Xiao.¡± Aunt Zhou¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, ¡°You have a delivery.¡±
So, his surname was Xiao.
Xiao what Bai?
Chen Jin¡¯s mind started racing again.
Aunt Zhou handed Xiao Yebai the package on the coffee table, ¡°It seems to have been sent from America.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Yebai took the package, nced at it, then started walking towards the study.
Chen Jin was standing in the doorway of the study, and as he approached step by step, her heartbeat elerated, her nose even picking up a faint smell of tobo¡
But before she could react, Xiao Yebai suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to head upstairs.
Chen Jin stood there, dumbfounded and disappointed.
Chapter 400: 400, Monk
Chapter 400: Monk
When she returned to the study, Mo Weiyi was still grappling with the problems.
About twenty minutester, she finished all the problems and handed them, full of expectation, to Chen Jin, only to see her drawing red crosses on her work one after another.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s delicate face was gradually tinted with blush.
Layer byyer, the blush deepened.
By the end, it was scorching hot.
¡°Not bad, you¡¯ve got two problems correct this time.¡± After checking all the answers, Chen Jin said this.
Mo Weiyi was somewhat incredulous, her cat-like eyes widened in surprise, ¡°Teacher Chen, did I only get two problems correct?¡±
Out of twenty problems, she only solved two correctly?
All the rest were wrong, this¡
Mo Weiyi felt she was losing face.
Chen Jin looked at her, her eyes behind the lenses twinkling with obvious amusement, ¡°You¡¯ve done pretty well and made some progress.¡±
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
Only answering two problems correctly was considered progress?
Mo Weiyi embarrassingly buried her face into the table. Her long, curly hair cascaded down, almost obscuring her figure.
Then, she raised her head to look at Chen Jin suddenly, ¡°Teacher Chen, is there no hope of me getting into the top ten in my ss?¡±
Chen Jin replied with a smile, ¡°Why are you so eager to make it into the top ten?¡±
She didn¡¯t understand why Mo Weiyi was so urgent about her academic performance.
She had taught students like Mo Weiyi before.
They were the little princes and princesses of their homes, slow inprehension and reaction, but their parents held high expectations for them, putting all kinds of pressure on the tutors.
In the end, she was working hard in teaching, and they were struggling to learn.
In Chen Jin¡¯s eyes, it was indeed self-inflicted suffering.
Why should one strive to learn?
Because some need to work hard to change their destinies, but some do not, right?
Like Mo Weiyi, who is so beautiful, rich, and married a handsome man, has been victorious in life.
As for herself, no matter how hard she worked, she might not even get one ten- thousandth of what Mo Weiyi has now in her entire life.
So sometimes, you just have to ept fate!
People are born unequal, no matter how sour or unptable that is¡
Mo Weiyi had no idea so much resentment was stirring in Chen Jin¡¯s heart, and now she only felt overwhelmed.
And for something as intimate as pregnancy, it was one thing to confide in a close girlfriend, but even though Teacher Chen was nice, Mo Weiyi had no ns to share her private matters with her.
All she could ask was, ¡°Teacher Chen, do you mean that I have no chance of making the top ten?¡±
Chen Jin thought about it and said gently, ¡°Actually, your foundation is a bit weak, there isn¡¯t much time left, you can only rely on rote memorization. I believe in rewarding diligence, with diligence you can make up for deficiencies. Keep it up.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi slouched even more.
Since the time was up, she could only say, ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask you about these problems tomorrow. It¡¯s gettingte, Teacher Chen, I¡¯ll have the driver take you home.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
When they arrived in the living room, Aunt Zhou said, ¡°Liu took a leave today, saying his mother was ill and he had to stay in the hospital.¡±
Chen Jin was taken aback, ¡°Then¡I¡¯U take a cab home?¡±
¡°Are you able to hail a cab?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s refined face creased.
It was nine o¡¯clock in the evening, it was raining outside in the freezing cold, it was probably hard to get a cab.
¡°I¡¯ll try.¡± Chen Jin finished and began hailing a cab on the app.
Although Lishui Bay Vi is located in the city, the suburb where Chen Jin lived is on the outskirts, across half the city of Nancheng. And now it¡¯s nine in the evening, and it¡¯s raining¡
As expected.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, no drivers were willing to take the order.
Mo Weiyi frowned.
Because she had been a good girl and attended school every day recently, life had been calm and peaceful, and she had rxed her guard. She had already sent her bodyguards back to her old house. As a result, she now found herself in a predicament ¨C the driver was not there and no one was avable to send Chen Jin home.
After thinking a moment, she said, ¡°Maybe Xiaobai can take you home?¡±
Chen Jin¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she nearly stuttered, ¡°No¡no, that wouldn¡¯t be proper.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, just to take you home.¡±
Mo Weiyi really had no problem with it.
At a nce, Chen Jin was clearly a conscientious and straightforward model student.
She didn¡¯t wear makeup, didn¡¯t dye her hair, didn¡¯t do her nails, and dressed simply. More so, she was patient with her.
The only thing she worried about was whether Xiao Yebai would be willing to give her a ride.
After all, apart from her, Xiao Yebai always acted distant and cold to everyone, especially women.
¡°Then thank you, Mr. Xiao,¡± Chen Jin said, a soft smile on her lips.
As Aunt Zhou went upstairs to fetch him, her heart was pounding with anticipation.
The thought of being alone in the car with him stirred up a flurry of excitement in her heart.
Chen Jin had never been in a rtionship, but she felt it might be love at first sight with Xiao Yebai.
How could such a handsome man not make a woman¡¯s heart flutter?
Even though she knew that this was no more than a fruitless, unrequited love.
She knew all too well that she could never match his social standing and status.
Even less in physical appearance, she and Mo Weiyi were as different as heaven from earth.
She wouldn¡¯t cross any boundaries.
All she wanted was to secretly harbor this beautiful emotion in her heart.
As time ticked away, finally, footsteps sounded from the stairs.
Chen Jin turned with expectation, but it was only Aunt Zhou who appeared in her sight.
¡°Miss Chen, young master Xiao has mentioned that he will arrange someone to take you home shortly.¡±
Chen Jin was dumbstruck.
In a soft voice, Mo Weiyi asked, ¡°Who has Xiaobai arranged?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Assistant Zhong, apparently.¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Zhong Kai.¡± Mo Weiyi looked at Chen Jin and smiled gently, ¡°Chen, you know Zhong Kai as well, he¡¯s reliable. He¡¯ll make sure you get home safely.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± was all Chen Jin could manage to reply.
*
*
Twenty minutester, Zhong Kai arrived at the door with his car.
It was such a tiring day.
While he was at home, idle and watching variety shows, he was abruptly woken by a call from Mr. Xiao.
He thought it was some urgent work that needed his attention, only to find out he was required to drive Chen Jin home.
It was raining heavily,te at night, and freezing cold out. He had to drive from the southern city to pick someone up in the city center, then drop them off in the northern city, before driving back home himself.
Zhong Kai felt bitter.
Being of lower standing, he could only agree.
*
*
After seeing Chen Jin off, Mo Weiyi turned and walked upstairs.
She pushed open the door to find Xiao Yebai on the sofa, engrossed in hisputer.
He had taken a shower and was in a dark blue robe. Wearing his signature sses and focusing intently on his work, he looked peaceful, refined, and insanely attractive.
Mo Weiyi strolled over and muttered, ¡°Xiaobai, my English tutor justplimented me on my progress.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Xiao Yebai lifted his gaze to look at her, sounding indifferent.
¡°But¡ I only got two out of twenty questions right.¡±
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±
¡°What should I do? I find learning English so difficult, I can¡¯t even recognize the alphabets, no matter how hard I try.¡±
Mo Weiyi then draped herself over him, pouting and acting spoiled.
But the moment was short-lived.
Xiao Yebai calmly disconnected her arm from his body, his voice devoid of emotional fluctuation, ¡°I have an important document to handle.¡±
Mo Weiyi pouted instantly, ¡°But the teacher criticized me earlier, and I felt really upset. I need Xiaobai tofort me.¡±
¡°Take your time learning English, making it into the top ten next semester is just as good.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s tone was still indifferent.
After all, it wasn¡¯t a challenging task and he wouldn¡¯t make such a promise carelessly.
¡°Absolutely not!¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s lips pouted even higher, ¡°Next semester, I¡¯ll turn twenty-one.¡±
¡°What¡¯s the implication of turning a year older?¡±
¡°The sooner to have babies the better, maybe¡ top twenty? Top thirty?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
She looked at Xiao Yebai, who had no room for negotiation. It reminded her of how Chen Jin spoke earlier.
It was also with such indifference.
¡°Forget it.¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, ¡°I¡¯m going to continue memorizing vocabry. I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t seed, ¡®Hard work is the way to sess¡¯.¡± ¡®Hard work is the way to sess¡¯?
Upon hearing these words, a flicker of emotion passed in the depths of Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes.
Just when Mo Weiyi was about to leave, Xiao Yebai sped her wrist.
¡°Ah.¡±
With a startled gasp, she found herself sitting down, face to face with his magnificently sculpted face.
Uh.
What¡¯s wrong with Xiaobai?
Why did he suddenly be so passionate?
Earlier, when she tried to tease him, he was like an untouchable monk,pletely focused on his work¡
In just a few seconds, he seemed to have transformed¡
Chapter 401: 401, Improper thoughts
Chapter 401: Improper thoughts
As the golden sunlight spread across thend, the rays gradually nted with the passage of time, passing throughyers of curtains, and finally fell on one corner of the bed.
On the violet carvedvish bed, Mo Weiyi¡¯s exquisitely arched eyebrows wrinkled and his closed catlike eyes slowly opened.
There was a moment of nkness in his mind.
His consciousness slowly returned.
Recently, both he and Xiaobai were busy with work and studies. They didn¡¯t have much time together. He wasn¡¯t sure why they were unusually passionate yesterday¡
Mo Weiyi wanted to rise, but he felt sore all over. After rolling around in the nket for a while, he finally manage to get up with difficulty.
¡°Xiaobai, Xiaobai?¡±
Mo Weiyi ruffled his hair and turned to look at the bedside table.
Upon seeing the time shown on the rm clock, he nearly lost it.
Half past nine?
He urgently threw off the nket.
This is bad, he had English ss at nine in the morning.
The professor mentionedst time that he would take attendance and check homework today. Those who arete would lose points!
He overslept, to think that his love life would lead him astray!
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t have time to wonder why his three to four daily morning rms didn¡¯t ring. He quickly washed up, dressed, and hurried downstairs. ¡°Aunt Zhou, is Uncle Liu here? Askhim to take me to school quickly!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Aunt Zhou said smilingly, ¡°Breakfast is ready¡ Princess? Princess?¡± The princess ran off?
She would even skip breakfast to go to school?
Aunt Zhou was once again¡ surprised by Mo Weiyi¡¯s behavior.
*
*
In the car, after hastily applying makeup, Mo Weiyi finally arrived at the school past ten.
When he reached the ssroom, the second ss had already begun.
He realized that the teacher for today wasn¡¯t the usual professor, but a stern, nitpicking professor from the English department.
Mo Weiyi thought he was doomed. He wasn¡¯t just going to lose points, he was probably going to have a hard time during the exam too¡
As expected, when he saw someone arrivete, the old professor furrowed his brows and angrily said, ¡°What time is it now?¡±
With a loud ¡®bang
1, he mmed a duster onto the table, making the entire ssroom shake three times.
¡°Is this how youw students attend sses? Arrivingte, skipping sses, and turning inte¡ The second ss is already ending, what are you doing here?¡±
Then, pulling out a small notebook and pen, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
He was in real trouble, about to get named and lose points¡ Mo Weiyi sighed inwardly, and reluctantly told him, ¡°Mo Weiyi.¡±
¡°What? Speak up, after beingte, what else are you ashamed of!¡±
Therefore¡
¡°Mo Weiyi!¡±
The old professor¡¯s hand shook, he adjusted his sses, put down his pen, muttered, ¡°Unbelievable! Come in and start studying!¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
Everyone: ¡°¡¡±
*
*
After ss, the old professor was about to leave.
¡°Teacher, wait a moment.¡±
The old professor¡¯s legs trembled in fear.
Was getting away with tardiness and missing the first ss not enough, now she wanted to bother him?
Mo Weiyi walked up to him, innocently asked: ¡°Teacher, I missed the first ss today and missed out on the earlier part of the lecture, could you exin it to me once more?¡±
Old professor: ¡°¡¡±
Had Mo Weiyi changed his ways?
He was actually proactively asking questions?
¡°Teacher?¡± A confused look enveloped Mo Weiyi¡¯s delicate face.
The old professor finally recovered, ¡°Alright.¡±
*
*
Twenty minutester, the ssroom was empty.
Mo Weiyi finally understood, ¡°Thankyou, teacher, I get it now.¡±
The old professor wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally able to leave.
Really¡
Why was she making her English studies soplicated?
Wasn¡¯t it better to be the little princess of the Mo family?
His lecture had exhausted him!
His mouth was so dry!
Mo Weiyi packed up her books, prepared to go to the canteen to find Su Wanwan. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard a voice behind her.
¡°Miss Mo.¡±
Mo Weiyi stopped and turned around.
As expected, it was Tian Ye.
She was dressed genteelly in a long skirt with a wine-red coat draped over her shoulders, her shoulder-length curly hair neatly styled, making her look warm and intellectual.
¡°What are you doing here?¡± Mo Weiyi asked with a cold face.
Tian Ye stared at the beautiful young girl in front of her and spoke softly, ¡°Miss Mo, it was wrong of me during the incident at the restaurant. I apologize.¡±
¡°So, you came to apologize?¡± Mo Weiyi held her books tighter, ¡°Tell me, what did you do wrong?¡±
Tian Ye was taken aback.
The little girl in front of her, with obvious confidence and arrogance in her delicate eyes and eyebrows, spoke with her little chin lifted, giving her a superior air.
Although she was five years younger than Tian Ye, her behavior was like that of a proud little princess.
And she, without realizing it, was at a disadvantage.
However, Tian Ye knew she was wrong and took a step ahead to exin, ¡°Miss Mo, Yebai and I are really just ssmates. My ex-boyfriend¡¯s name is Ye Bei. We dated for five years. I stayed in America for two years for him. We almost got married until I found out he was cheating on me¡ After that, I came back home.¡±
¡°So, you intentionally said Yebai was your boyfriend?¡±
¡°No, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Once when I was on the phone, my mother heard me call Yebai. She mistook it for Ye Bei. Coincidentally, it was her birthday yesterday, and she asked him toe to join us for dinner. I didn¡¯t dare tell her Ye Bei cheated on me because her heart is very weak and she has been suffering from severe depression¡¡±
Mo Weiyi finally got it, she lifted her chin higher, ¡°So why are you looking for me now?¡±
¡°Miss Mo, I know this is a lot to ask, but¡¡± Tian Ye bit her lip, finding it very hard to speak, ¡°My mother felt ufortable in her heart after returning homest night. The doctors said she needed a heart transnt immediately, but she refused. Could you ask Yebai to pay her a visit, pretending for a moment¡¡±
¡°No!¡± Mo Weiyi rejected her without hesitation.
¡°Miss Mo, can¡¯t you help me even if I beg?¡±
Tian Ye¡¯s eyes reddened. She looked pitiful as she sobbed, ¡°My mom divorced my dad when I was ten because my dad had another family with a different woman. That woman came to our house with her son, which made my mom furious. They started fighting. When my dad came, he hit my mom without saying a word¡ My mom¡¯s foot was injured at that time.
Later, when I went abroad, she lived alone in China with no friends or rtives. Life was tough for her. Now, all I want is for her to live her remaining years in peace. If Yebai can persuade her to have the heart transnt surgery, I¡¯m ready to do whatever you ask¡¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to Yebai directly?¡± Mo Weiyi sneered, ¡°Or¡ did you already try that?¡±
Tian Ye quickly denied it, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡±
¡°Why not?¡±
¡°He definitely wouldn¡¯t agree.¡±
Upon hearing that, Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°If you already knew he wouldn¡¯t agree, then whye looking for me?¡±
¡°Miss Mo, you are his wife. I believe that as long as you say something, he will listen and do it.¡±
Mo Weiyiughed tilted her head, ¡°Yeah, I also think so.¡±
Tian Ye: ¡°¡¡±
The next second.
¡°But I won¡¯t persuade him to do such a thing. I am not a saint. Why would I let my husband fake being another woman¡¯s boyfriend? Only an idiot would do such a thing!¡± Mo Weiyi was very blunt.
¡°Miss Mo.¡± Tian Ye¡¯s tears finally fell, ¡°As I have said, Yebai and I are really just friends. I won¡¯t have any improper thoughts. I beg you, can you help my mother? We just need to pretend for a moment and persuade my mother to undergo the surgery. Are you really going to watch her die? Is your heart really that cold¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s face darkened sharply, ¡°Miss Tian, since you and Xiaobai were ssmates at the American Institute, you must be an intellectual, right? Are intellectuals these days so fond of moral ckmail? If I don¡¯t save your mother, am I heartless? The fact is, my husband has been used by you, and I, as his wife, am the victim. Do you think I should still send him to be used by you again, and with a smile?¡±
¡°Miss Mo,¡¡±
¡°Let me tell you, even if I don¡¯t save her, no one can me me. First, if I let Xiaobai pretend to be your boyfriend, I will be very unhappy. Why should I make myself distressed just to do something good? Second, I remember your mother tried to hit mest time, calling me a mistress. If Xiaobai hadn¡¯t protected me, my face might have been scratched. Would I let Xiaobai meet such a dangerous person? What if she suddenly went crazy again and hurt Xiaobai?¡±
¡°My mother is bedridden now, she¡¯s very weak. How could she possibly hit you¡¡±
Mo Weiyi chuckled coldly, ¡°What if she does? I initially thought your mother looked kind and gentle. Who knew she would suddenly go crazy, almost attacking me!¡±
Chapter 402: 402, not falling for this
Chapter 402: not falling for this
¡°Miss Mo¡¡±
Her phone rang, Mo Weiyi tookit out and nced at it, ¡°I have to go, I¡¯m meeting a friend for dinner.¡±
After saying this, she turned to leave.
¡°Miss Mo, Miss Mo, Miss Mo, don¡¯t go¡¡± Tian Ye rushed up to her, trying to grab her hand.
Mo Weiyi violently shook him off.
A gust of wind blew past, causing her full, curly hair to flutter wildly in the air, a strikingplement to her cold, striking features.
¡°Stop pulling at me and crying! I¡¯ve told you, the thing I hate most is ¡®the innocent¡¯. I¡¯m not falling for your act!¡±
Tian Ye looked at her, taken aback by her harsh tone.
The two of them had been arguing in front of the teaching building for quite some time, one of them being the campus belle, the other crying non-stop; it had already attracted a good number of students who were watching the spectacle unfold.
Mo Weiyi, no longer willing to engage with her, quickly turned and left.
*
*
While having dinner in the cafeteria, Mo Weiyi told her best friend about what had happened.
Su Wanwan picked up a piece of beef and ced it in her mouth, chewing as she spoke, ¡°I was wondering whether or not to tell you about this. I ran into her at the hospital yesterday. She was indeed seeking a psychiatrist and she was crying.¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, ck and white eyes, ¡°So¡ that Tian Ye didn¡¯t lie to me?¡±
¡°Probably not, so are you going to help her?¡± Su Wanwan asked her.
Mo Weiyi sipped her soup, and replied at a leisurely pace, ¡°Nope! I am under no obligation to help her.¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
Would Tian Ye easily give up?
She didn¡¯t think so.
After a moment¡¯s thought, Su Wanwan asked expectantly, ¡°What if she asks Mr. Xiao for help? Do you think he will assist her?¡±
¡°Absolutely not.¡± Mo Weiyi answered with absolute confidence.
¡°Why?¡± Su Wanwan was curious, ¡°Because your Mr. Xiao is cold and heartless?¡±
He had always acted cold towards her after all.
Without exaggerating, Su Wanwan felt that even though she had known Xiao Yebai for ten years, she had never seen him smile at her¡
It was really hard for her to imagine him eagerly helping orforting someone else.
¡°No,¡± Mo Weiyi said with a cheerful smile, ¡°He knows that if he helps another woman, it will upset me.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Alright, that¡¯s the princess logic for you.
Mo Weiyi was indeed solemn, but when she went home in the afternoon, Aunt Zhou came over in a hur-ry, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
¡°Little Princess, Mr. Xiao left his mobile phone at home,¡± she said.
¡°Just now?¡±
Aunt Zhou nodded, ¡°Yes, Mr. Xiao came back earlier, changed his clothes and left again. This should be his work mobile phone.¡±
Mo Weiyi took the ck phone and casually asked, ¡°Did he say where he was going?¡±
¡°I heard Assistant Zhong say something about Nangong Hospital.¡±
¡°Nangong Hospital?¡±
Aunt Zhou nodded, ¡°Yes, Assistant Zhong went with him, so they should have gone together.¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t say anything. She looked at the ck business phone in her hand, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door, ¡°Uncle Liu, take me to the hospital.¡±
In fact, even if Xiao Yebai agreed to help, the most she would do was to feel a little troubled and unhappy, but in the end, she understood.
After all, Tian Ye was his ssmate, and from his desperate cries at school that morning, it was clear that he was at his wit''s end.
As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so Mo Weiyi felt that even if she didn¡¯t want to help, she wouldn¡¯t prevent Xiao Yebai from doing so.
But if Xiao Yebai really did help and chose to hide it from her¡
Mo Weiyi found that she just couldn¡¯t ept that.
There should be honesty between husband and wife, and she wasn¡¯t such a cold-hearted person.
All the way, she was lost in her thoughts, and when she saw the hospitale into view, she finally called Su Wenwen.
¡°Wanwan, do you remember which floor you saw Tian Ye on yesterday?¡±
Su Wanwan replied, ¡°The 21st floor, she came in from the 21st floor.¡±
¡°Okay, I understand,¡± she said.
Entering the inpatient department, Mo Weiyi walked into the elevator without any obstacles and directly pressed the button for the 21st floor.
The elevator numbers changedyer byyer, and so did the emotions in her heart.
When the elevator door finally opened, Mo Weiyi looked up to see a familiar man in patient clothes standing outside.
¡°Oh, Little Princess, what a coincidence. Or¡¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, looking at Mo Weiyi with surprise, ¡°Did you know I was hospitalized, so you came to visit me specifically?¡±
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t feel like dealing with him and walked in right away.
But Chu Xiuhuang followed her, shamelessly saying, ¡°Little Princess, aren¡¯t you a bit ungrateful? I remember thest time you were hospitalized, I continuously sent roses, 999 a day, for several days straight. Now that I¡¯m hospitalized, can¡¯t you even express a little bit of concern with a small flower?¡± Mo Weiyi abruptly stopped, ¡°Why does a grown man still want flowers? Isn¡¯t that gross?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang wasn¡¯t angry at all. He raised his eyebrows and his thin lips curved into a wicked smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that fresh flowers go with handsome men? How is that disgusting? Don¡¯t you youngdies like beautiful men like me?¡±
Mo Weiyi shivered all over and rolled her eyes. She walked up to a room and knocked on the door.
She opened it and quickly apologized, ¡°Sorry, wrong room.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang jokingly asked, ¡°Little Princess, are you looking for your love rival?¡±
Mo Weiyi ignored him and quickly came to the second door, knocked, peeked in and said, ¡°Sorry, wrong person.¡±
¡°Little Princess, you¡¯ll be reported for disturbing the peace like this.¡±
Mo Weiyi continued to ignore him and knocked on a third door. She opened it to find the room empty.
¡°Little Princess¡¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you stop bothering me?!¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but vent her frustration.
Damn.
Her heart was already full of trouble, and now she encountered an even more annoying man.
¡°Not at all,¡± Chu Xiuhuang smiled mischievously, ¡°I¡¯m all alone in the ward and bored. You¡¯re looking for your love rival, right? I can apany you. Andter, I can help you teach her a lesson, should we disfigure her, or break her bones?¡±
Mo Weiyi stared at him, speechless, ¡°Aren¡¯t you injured?¡±
¡°Is the Little Princess actually worried about me?¡±
¡°No.¡± Mo Weiyi quickly denied it, ¡°I just want to know who beat you up. I want to send them a banner as a tribute, since they¡¯ve removed a menace to the public, they must be praised!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s smile gradually stiffened, ¡°Little Princess, do you really wish that I got beaten up so bad?¡±
Mo Weiyi snorted and walked ahead haughtily, ¡°You, a yboy who harasses a different woman every month, should stay in the hospital a bit longer, so that the women of Nancheng can be safe.¡±
¡°Not at all, not at all, without me, Chu Xiuhuang, ying the hero, it would be a big loss for the women of Nancheng. They will regret not having received jewelry from me.¡±
Mo Weiyi thought of the news story from yesterday.
It imed that he bought up all the jewelry on disy at the entire banquet.
Indeed, a fool and his money are easily parted!
Once again, she pushed open a door, peeked inside, and quickly apologized, ¡°Sorry, wrong room.¡±
Before she could move on, Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist.
Though she quickly shook him off.
¡°Stop running around like a headless fly. There are just over twenty rooms on this floor; when will you find what you¡¯re looking for?¡±
¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡±
¡°Tell me what your love rival looks like, what¡¯s their name, and I¡¯ll help you ask around.¡± Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone as he spoke, ¡°I can ask someone to help you find out, wouldn¡¯t that be better?¡±
Mo Weiyi hesitated for a moment, ¡°She¡¯s probably in her fifties, has a heart condition, and seems to have a mental illness. I don¡¯t know her surname.¡± ¡°In her fifties?¡± Chu Xiuhuang clucked his tongue in amazement, ¡°Looks like your husband has quite an interesting taste?¡±
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes, ¡°Stop talking nonsense and quickly ask.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°You are the second woman in this world who dares to oppose me!¡±
The first one was that damned personal secretary!
Soon, Nangong Ci sent a message. As Mo Weiyi was reading it, two men walked out of the furthest room down the corridor.
¡°Boss Xiao, it¡¯s Princess¡¡± Zhong Kai¡¯s words were cut short by the sudden coldness on Xiao Yebai¡¯s face.
He was looking at the picturesque scene in front of him.
Chu Xiuhuang, in his patient gown, still retained his seductive and beautiful charm despite not having made any effort. Instead, there was an added hint of debauched freedom.
Mo Weiyi, who stood by his side, only reached his shoulders and was looking at her phone.
The man was tall, handsome, and wickedly charming.
The woman was tall, beautiful, and sweet.
What a strangely perfect match!
Zhong Kai sneakily nced at the man beside him and felt a jolt in his heart.
Although Boss Xiao always appeared cold and emotionless, Zhong Kai knew that he had a strong possessive desire towards the Princess. After all, he demanded that even her tutors must be female.
¡°Room 2209?¡± After reading the message, Mo Weiyi looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
Chapter 403: 403, Xiaobai: Idiot!
Chapter 403: Xiaobai: Idiot!
¡°Room number 2209?¡± Mo Weiyi finished reading the message, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.
As if realizing something, Chu Xiuhuang also looked up.
Xiao Yebai was standing at the end of the corridor. His coat was in Zhong Kai¡¯s hands, and he was wearing a meticulous, well-fitted ck suit. His sses gave him a cold and refined look, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
¡°Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi hurried over.
A provocative smile spread on Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s thin lips.
Seeing the evident hostility in the man¡¯s eyes, heughed and shouted, ¡°Little Princess, if your husband ever gets hooked on anotherdy, remember to kick him over to me!¡±
Mo Weiyi:
Goddamn!
She stopped in her tracks and turned back to give him a fierce re.
Xiao Yebai, on the other hand, remained expressionless, with a fleeting hint of a dark emotion in his eyes.
Chu Xiuhuangughed heartily as he left.
Mo Weiyi quickly jogged to Xiaobai, wrapping her arm around his and raising her face to appease him, ¡°Xiaobai, don¡¯t get me wrong, he¡¯s just a big mouth, he¡¯s hospitalized recently, his brain is a bit off, so don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t say anything.
¡°Really, he was beaten up and ended up in hospital, his head was hurt too, so everything he said just now is all nonsense, don¡¯t bother with him.¡±
Xiao Yebai still didn¡¯t say anything.
Looking at the man¡¯s tense and handsome profile, Mo Weiyi cautiously asked, ¡°Xiaobai, are you angry? But I really just ran into him just now¡¡±
¡°Does a coincidence need you to look at your phone?¡± Finally, Xiao Yebai spoke.
Mo Weiyi stammered, ¡°I just asked him to do me a favor¡¡±
¡°What favor?¡±
Mo Weiyi felt a bit sheepish.
If Xiaobai found out she came to catch him and¡
Xiao Yebai looked at her guilty expression, his thin lips scoffed, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡±
Mo Weiyi sighed and had no choice but to confess, ¡°Fine, I just asked him to help check on a hospital room.¡±
¡°Check what hospital room?¡± Xiao Yebai continued to probe.
His manner was assertive, direct, and intimidating.
¡°It¡¯s just¡¡±
Before Mo Weiyi could finish, Xiao Yebai coldly cut her off, ¡°What exactly are you doing at the hospital?¡±
Zhong Kai standing by shuddered violently.
Holy shit!
A jealous Xiao Yebai¡¯s so terrifying!
I¡¯m really worried about the Little Princess¡
But then Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and raised her chin defiantly, retorting, ¡°I haven¡¯t asked you yet. Did youe to y the part of Tian Ye¡¯s boyfriend?¡±
Even though she¡¯s the one who came to question him at the hospital, why is it that she¡¯s the one being questioned?
Mo Weiyi wasn¡¯t willing to give in.
Behind the lenses, Xiao Yebai¡¯s lovely peach blossom eyes squinted, and then¡
He actually walked away?
Watching the man¡¯s upright and aloof figure, Mo Weiyi paused for a moment before rushing to catch up and grabbed his arm, apologizing, ¡°Xiaobai, I was wrong, I didn¡¯t mean to catch you or anything, it¡¯s just that¡ I was worried about you, Xiaobai¡¡±
Xiao Yebai kept a straight face and kept moving forward.
He had long legs and walked fast, and Mo Weiyi soon found it hard to keep up.
Besides, she was wearing a pair of tall, slender boots with stiletto heels that day. They were beautiful but not very stable.
One moment of inattention and she was suddenly slipping forward.
¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡±
¡°Princess, be careful!¡± Zhong Kai was so scared his heart almost jumped out, rushing forward.
Next, he saw the usually cold and indifferent Xiao Yebai stop in an instant. With one hand, he grabbed Mo Weiyi¡¯s arm, and with the other, he scooped her into his arms.
Mo Weiyi was clinging to him, startled, her small ws tightly gripping his suit. Her face was pale with fear, ¡°I¡¯m so scared, wuwuwu¡¡±
Xiao Yebai looked down at the pitiful and delicate face in front of him, his thin lips parting to utter two words, ¡°Idiot.¡±
Idiot?
Mo Weiyi pouted, ¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯m scared to death, and you still scold me!¡±
Xiao Yebai let her go without expression, and turned to leave.
Who knew his arm would be grabbed again by those two little ws, apanied by her soft voice, ¡°Xiaobai, please walk with me, this tile is too slippery, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll fall.¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s facial features remained tense, but he didn¡¯t shake her off this time.
Behind them, Zhong Kai wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly followed them.
Once in the elevator, he had just pressed the button for the ground floor when he heard Mo Weiyi¡¯s gentle voice again, ¡°Xiaobai, you haven¡¯t told me, were you helping Tian Ye just now?¡±
Xiao Yebai replied indifferently, ¡°Who told you?¡±
¡°So you really did go?¡± Mo Weiyi huffed, sounding annoyed, ¡°She came to find me at school today and told me to call you to the hospital to y the part of her boyfriend and persuade her mother to ept the surgery. I didn¡¯t agree, and she called me heartless and even scolded me for being ruthless!¡±
¡°She begged me to find you and I told her you definitely wouldn¡¯t agree to help. I didn¡¯t expect you¡¡± Mo Weiyi hung her head, feeling a bit upset again.
She¡¯s not such a cold and ruthless woman. Although she didn¡¯t want to help, if the woman stubbornly refused to have surgery and it was a matter of life and death, she might have¡
¡°Princess, you misunderstand,¡± Zhong Kai couldn¡¯t help but want to exin for his CEO, ¡°Xiao Yebai didn¡¯t pretend to be Miss Tian¡¯s boyfriend. Earlier, we¡¡±
Xiao Yebai just looked at him silently.
Zhong Kai quickly shut his mouth.
Damn!
Xiao Yebai is absolutely devastating. Every time he stared at you with those eyes, one can¡¯t help but submit.
¡°Did you say Xiaobai didn¡¯t pretend?¡± Mo Weiyi asked.
Zhong Kai kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak.
¡°Hurry up and say it!¡± Mo Weiyi red at him, ¡°If you don¡¯t speak up, I¡¯m going to fire you!¡±
Zhong Kai felt his scalp tingle and had no choice but to force out an exnation, ¡°Xiao Yebai told me to pretend to be Ye Bei. Miss Tian¡¯s mother is a little delirious and easy to fool, so she already believes it and her mood has stabilized. The doctor said she would be prepared for the operation in the next few days, Princess, rest assured.¡±
The elevator doors opened.
Xiao Yebai walked out without saying a word.
Mo Weiyi, however, praised him with a smile, ¡°Zhong Kai, you did well, I¡¯ll ask Xiaobai to give you a raise.¡±
¡°Thankyou, Princess!¡± Zhong Kai was overjoyed.
His choice was definitely right. As long as he pleased the princess, what was there to fear in the future?
Mo Weiyi had already caught up with Xiao Yebai and was clinging onto his arm again, her entire being leaning onto him.
She tilted her face, her eyes filled with a charming and pleased smile, ¡°Xiaobai, why are you so reserved? You never tell me anything, made me worry for so long, okay, I¡¯d say we¡¯re even this time, you don¡¯t be mad at me, and I won¡¯t be mad at you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not mad.¡± Xiao Yebai tly interrupted her.
¡°Alright, Xiaobai is not mad.¡± Mo Weiyi followed his words, but she couldn¡¯t help but stick out her tongue after finishing.
Still not mad?
That little mouth of hers was pursed into a straight line.
Such a introverted temper!
**
Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang returned to his luxurious hospital room.
He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through it and then turned on the TV for a while.
Damn.
Pretending to be sick is really boring!
Can only move around inside the hospital, not even a person to talk to.
Checking the time, he decided to call Shi Huan.
But damn her! This woman dared to not answer his phone call!
With dissatisfaction in his eyes, Chu Xiuhuang hit redial and began to call relentlessly.
Finally, she picked up.
Before Chu Xiuhuang could speak, Shi Huan¡¯s impatient voice came through, ¡°Mr. Chu, could you stop pushing me? I just picked up my kid.¡±
¡°What kid?¡±
¡°My younger sister.¡±
¡°Since when did you have a younger sister?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.
He remembered that Shi Huan was the youngest daughter of the Shi Family, and the least favored. After all,pared to her dazzlingly beautiful sister, Shi Huan was like a dull invisible person.
¡°My uncle¡¯s daughter.¡±
¡°Your uncle.¡± Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, ¡°That¡ convicted drug dealer?¡±
¡°¡¡± Shi Huan was silent.
¡°When did he get married and have a child?¡±
Shi Huan was silent again:¡±¡¡±
¡°Which good woman was so unlucky to be targeted by him?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± Shi Huan interrupted him, ¡°Enough, I have to drive the kid home.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, ¡°Come to the hospital as soon as you send the child off. I¡¯ve been starving for half a day, remember to buy me dinner, you know what I like to eat anyway.¡±
¡°Got it.¡±
**
Shi Huan hung up the call and drove the car out with a frown.
Since Chu Xiuhuang was hospitalized yesterday, she had been taking care of him in the hospital, not even being able to go to thepany.
Was she going to spend the next few months like this?
¡°Huanhuan, are we not going to Pizza Hut?¡± Shi Luoluo¡¯s voice suddenly came in.
She was leaning against the car window, watching the passing Pizza Hut, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance.
Shi Huan responded, ¡°When we get home, Aunt Wang will make you something delicious.¡±
¡°But you promised to let me eat it once a week.¡± Shi Luoluo pursed her little lips, seemingly a bit greedy.
¡°Your mother doesn¡¯t allow you to eat these things, from now on, you can have it once a month.¡±
Unable to see the Pizza Hut anymore, Shi Luoluo withdrew her gaze, twisting her fingers anxiously.
Soon, the Cayenne drove into a somewhat old residential area.
Shi Huan took the child into a one-bedroom house. Upon opening the door, the sound of cooking and the rich aroma of food were already wafting from the kitchen.
Just as Shi Luoluo had put on her little slippers¡
¡°Auntie Wang, I¡¯m heading out. You remember to lock the door from the outside when you leave after cooking.¡±
¡°Okay, I know.¡±
¡°Huanhuan, where are you going?¡± Shi Luoluo immediately grabbed her clothes, her eyes full of anxiety.
m going to the hospital, I will be back tonight to apany you.¡±
¡°But I¡¯m scared being alone.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be scared, if you¡¯re scared, call me, okay? Be good.¡± Shi Huan patted her little head, closed the door, and left.
Shi Luoluo pouted her mouth.
As far as she could remember, her parents seldom spent time with her.
Even her favorite Huanhuan was always busy.
Poor kid.
**
Buying and waiting for the food took quite a while. By the time Shi Huan arrived at the hospital, it was already past six in the evening.
As soon as she got out of the car, a familiar figure appeared from a red Mercedes in front of her.
It was Chu Jingyi.
There was another woman with her, both of them chatting andughing. As they entered the staircase, the lighting swept over them, highlighting their delicate make-up and enticing figures, exuding the temperament of mature urban women.
Shi Huan stood for a while, making sure that the two women had entered the elevator, before she made her way over.
When she reached upstairs, as expected, she heard women¡¯s voicesing from inside the room.
The door was not even closed properly.
¡°Ahuang, this is the Selina I mentioned to youst time. She¡¯s a graduate from Harvard in America and has worked as an administrative secretary in Silicon Valley for five years. She is really good at brand PR, business partnerships, and market investment.¡±
¡°Doing what?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s frivolous voice chimed in.
¡°Of course, to be your secretary. You see, yourpany is growing well now, and as your secretary, she naturally represents the image of yourpany. I know Shi Huan has been your secretary for five years, and you might be used to her way of working, but sometimes you need to look at the overall professionalism. Look at her appearance and dressing¡¡±
¡°What about it?¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted,ughing lightly, ¡°Does my secretary have a problem? Is there a problem with her look and dress?¡±
¡°Whether there¡¯s a problem or not, you should know. The Shi Family is on itsst legs now, you¡¯ve done enough for them. I am only saying this for your own good¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang cut her off again, ¡°Then you better spare the kindness for me, you¡¯d do better to put that effort on to your son, and your ex-husband.¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Knock Knock Knock.
All three turned around.
Shi Huan was standing at the door, expressionless. She lowered her left hand knocking on the door, the right hand holding a takeout bag, which contained at least seven to eight food boxes.
Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, ¡°Alright, young master needs to eat. Sister, you can take this s¡ s what now?¡±
Selina awkwardly added, ¡°Mr. Chu, I am Selina.¡±
¡°Selina, you can leave with my sister, and close the door on your way out. I don¡¯t like to have outsiders around while I eat, I¡¯m naturally shy.¡±
Selina:
Chu Jingyi: ¡°¡¡±
Shi Huan¡¯s lips twitched slightly.
Chapter 404: 404, complain about heaven, earth, and air
Chapter 404:in about heaven, earth, and air
Shi Huan even had a little twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Is Young Master Chu shy and introverted?
Ha ha ha.
Chu Jingyi, however, began to question Shi Huan, ¡°Shi Huan, my brother is sick now, is this how you usually take care of him? It¡¯s sote and he¡¯s just eating dinner now? And it¡¯s takeaway? Are you, as a secretary, going a bit too far with your negligence?¡±
Hearing this, Shi Huan stopped unpacking the food bags, looked up at her and said, ¡°So, Miss Chu, could you persuade your brother to hire a few more nurses? I¡¯m really busy and don¡¯t have time to stay in the hospital and take care of him all day.¡±
At this point, not only was Chu Jingyi angry, but even Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face darkened with anger.
Chu Jingyi turned to Chu Xiuhuang directly, ¡°is this the so-called ¡®good¡¯ secretary you mentioned? She¡¯s so crude?¡±
Yet Chu Xiuhuang was even less polite, ¡°I told you to leave, why are you still here? Get lost now!¡±
Chu Jingyi was embarrassed:
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and turned to Selina, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Selina, my brother is not in a good health and has a bad temper. Let¡¯s leave first.¡±
¡°¡ okay.¡±
With the departure of the disorderly crowd, tranquility was restored in the ward.
Shi Huan opened all the takeout boxes and put them on the mobile table, then moved it in front of Chu Xiuhuang, ¡°Young Master Chu, you can eat now.¡± Chu Xiuhuang squinted his phoenix-like eyes and said sarcastically, ¡°It seems that not only do you like to refute me, but you also like to refute everyone and everything.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
She dares to defy even his sister.
As his sister, he knows Chu Jingyi¡¯s personality best.
An intelligent kid since a young age, she showed astonishing talent in painting, winning the national art championship at less than ten years old. Thus, she gamed fame early, had an arrogant temperament, and plus, she had a stunning appearance as the eldest daughter of the Chu family. The Chu family was full ofpliments for her¡ which fostered her now supercilious and arrogant personality.
In fact, before he left for overseas, Chu Xiuhuang thought his sister was quite nice, just like the now twenty-year-old Mo Weiyi, who was proud, narcissistic, but also naive and straightforward, which was quite likable.
However, since her marriage in Australia, divorce, and raising a child with no blood rtion to her, her personality has be more and more twisted. Now, she¡¯s even trying to meddle in his affairs.
So, at the banquet that night, he subconsciously thought that Shi Huan had been bullied by Chu Jingyi. He has always protected his own people and could not bear to watch them being bullied. Therefore, he decided to defend her without a second thought.
But now it seems that Secretary Shi does not fear anyone. She dared to confront even Chu Jingyi. Who could bully her?
Thinking about Chu Jingyi¡¯s unsightly expression just now, Chu Xiuhuang couldn¡¯t help but startughing again, ¡°Secretary Shi, did you see that woman just now?¡±
Shi Huan raised her eyes, ¡°Which woman?¡±
There were only two women. Aside from my sister, who else could it be?¡±
Shi Huan answered with an ¡°oh¡±.
¡°What do you think? Share your assessment.¡± Chu Xiuhuang said as he ate and looked at Shi Huan.
Shi Huan blinked, ¡°YoungMaster Chu means¡¡±
Chu Xiuhuang yfully raised one eyebrow, ¡°Actually, that woman is just so- so looking, or I should say, 99% of women in this world are in at best. But why do some women astonish and appeal to men? Because they are extremely skillful at presenting themselves.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Secretary Shi.¡± Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, ¡°You should change your style a bit, actually, you look pretty good, although you¡¯re short, have a small chest, and have a big temper¡¡±
¡°Young Master Chu.¡± Shi Huan abruptly interrupted him, ¡°If you like that woman, you can make her your secretary.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, ¡°I, the hell, did I say that I like her?¡±
Shi Huan maintained her calm tone, ¡°In any case, if you are not satisfied with my work, I can change. If you¡¯re not satisfied with other aspects of me, I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t change.¡±
After saying this, she picked up a te of fruit on the side, grabbed a few apples, and then went into the bathroom.
ChuXiuhuang:¡±¡¡±
This damn, she really has a big temper. Does she believe me if I threaten to fire her?
He picked up his spoon and dug into his food aggressively.
I¡¯ll let it go for now!
I¡¯ll slowly torture you!
After all, I still need you to take care of me here¡
The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up.
It was Shi Huan¡¯s phone.
While Chu Xiuhuang was still chewing on his chicken, he picked up the phone as if driven by some unseen force.
Upon seeing the screen disy, he froze.
¡°Huanhuan¡¯s Baby¡±?
This damn¡ Isn¡¯t this disgusting?
Not only does this Secretary Shi have bikini dates with men, but she also names the contact ¡°Huanhuan¡¯s Baby¡±?
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
Just as he was deciding whether or not to answer¡
¡°What are you doing with my phone?¡± Shi Huan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. Then, Chu Xiuhuang saw her rushing over, snatching the phone from his hand, and looking at him with unusual anger, ¡°Young Master Chu, looking at someone else¡¯s phone without permission is the most impolite behavior, even if you are my boss, you can¡¯t do this!¡±
Saying this, she turned around and walked out.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face twitched.
Damn it, this secretary is getting more and more audacious!
So he dares to call me impolite! Watching sneakily? Was I sneaking? I was¡ openly looking!
**
The call was from Shi Luoluo.
After Aunt Wang had cooked, she left, and the little girl ate by herself. As a result, she identally dropped the bowl on the floor, scattering it all over the ce.
She honestly took a few photos of the messy floor, and in her soft voice, she apologized, ¡°Huanhuan, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve dirtied your floor.¡±
Shi Huan sighed with relief, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll clean it up when I get home. Have you eaten enough?¡±
¡°I¡¯m full.¡±
Then hurry up and do your homework, no watching cartoons.¡±
¡°I know.¡±
She hung up the phone and Shi Huan let out a soft sigh.
Her uncle and auntie¡¯s rtionship was not that great. She remembered that they hade together due to some external factors, and after marrying, they had continued living respectfully with each other, staying in Canada most of the time and only returning to settle in China two years ago.
Shi Huan still remembered the first time she saw Shi Luoluo. She was just a three-year-old little girl, beautiful and cute, but shyly introverted, not speaking much, and having some difficulty bonding with the elders of the Shi Family.
Although Shi Huan thought she might not be the kind of person a child would like, to her surprise, this little girl always liked to hang out with her. Gradually the sisters built a good rtionship.
Perhaps she has been particrly affectionate towards this little cousin because she once lost a small life.
If that child from before had stayed, she should also have been five years old by now.
She leaned into the hallway and, once again, she softly sighed.
**
When she returned to the ward, Chu Xiuhuang had already finished his meal.
His face clearly disapproving of her, ¡°You chatted for forty minutes, was that much to talk about, huh?¡±
Shi Huan looked at him confused.
After cleaning up the dishes, she wiped the whole room clean. Checking the time she said, ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯ve got to go home.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was ying a game on his cell phone, upon hearing her, he didn¡¯t lift his head, ¡°Tomorrow, remember to bring breakfast early.¡± ¡® Alright. ¡® Shi Huan took her handbag, ¡°By the way, Mr. Chu, I won¡¯t be able toe here this Friday to Sunday.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang immediately put down his phone, his handsome face darkened ¡°Why?¡±
I told you before, I¡¯ve made an appointment.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang thought of ¡°Huanhuan¡¯s baby¡± and that three-point bikini swimsuit.
Shi Huan asked, ¡°Should I call the old man and inform him?¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re nning to stay out overnight?¡±
Shi Huan was momentarily stunned, then she nodded.
Xiaoyi¡¯s ss had organized a trip to the hot springs, departing on Friday afternoon. The next day, also happened to be Christmas, she could spend the holiday with Luoluo and her ssmates.
However, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face turned even darker, ¡°When did this start? Why is it progressing so fast?¡±
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°What are you talking about?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly turned around, arrogantly showing her his back, ¡°Fine just go, you¡¯re annoying.¡±
Shi Huan:
**
Friday came quickly.
After Su Wanwan finished lunch, she said that she was going to go home.
Knowing she was going to the hot springs with Huo Jingshen, and also celebrating Christmas Eve, Mo Weiyi was flooded with envy, jealousy and regret!
Why?
Howe my Christmas Eve can only be spent in a bitter English tutoring ss?
In a moment of impulse, Mo Weiyi grabbed his phone and asked Chen Jin for a day off.
Taking off only one night, wasn¡¯t that too excessive?
When Su Wanwan arrived at the school gate, Huo Jingshen¡¯s car was already parked there.
As soon as she got in the car, Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go directly to the hot springs resort.¡±
¡°Ah? But I haven¡¯t packed my bags yet!¡±
¡°Your husband has taken care of it.¡± Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly, ¡°There are two suitcases in total.¡±
¡°That much?¡±
Isn¡¯t it just two nights?
Two suitcases, isn¡¯t that a bit exaggerated?
¡°Ziyang packed a small one.¡± Huo Jingshen paused, ¡°The other big one is for both of us.¡±
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
Why did it sound strange to her?
Cough, dealing with an old driver like him for a long time, she always had to think twice about everything he said. How ridiculous it is!
Chapter 405: 405, old fairy!
Chapter 405: old fairy!
Huo Jingshen drove directly towards Phoenix Mountain, while Fu Ziyang probably followed the school bus.
By the time they reached the spa resort on Phoenix Mountain, it was already four in the afternoon.
The sky was full of red clouds from the sunset, a mesmerizing sight. The resort was located halfway up the mountain, and from a distance, its red roofs and green tiles looked like a fairnd.
Since it was located in the suburban area of Nancheng and it was a holiday, several families and couples hade to vacation.
Huo Jingshen fetched their room key and went straight to their top-floor suite with Su Wenwen.
The couple, one leading and the other following, were pushing therge and small suitcases. As they exited the elevator, they saw a familiar face approaching.
Secretary Shi!¡± Su Wenwen eximed in surprise, seeing Shi Huan. ¡°So you¡¯re here too? What a coincidence.¡±
She had thought that Shi Luoluo was apanied by her parents, but didn¡¯t expect it to be her sister instead.
Meeting a woman of the same age, Su Wenwen felt inexplicably happy.
¡°Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo,¡± Shi Huan greeted with a smile. ¡°I am going to get a smaller room downstairs.¡±
¡°Your room is too big? Can I stay with you?¡±
As soon as Su Wanwan said that, Shi Huan was taken aback, while Huo Jingshen darkened his handsome face.
Of course, in the end, Su Wanwan was taken to the presidential suite by Huo Jingshen.
Right.
Although the school had helped with booking rooms, Huo Jingshen had ordered a presidential suite on his own. Equipped with the costliest amenities, it was in no way inferior to any star hotel.
However¡
Looking at the room full of pink, Su Wanwan eximed, having a facial twitch ¡°What the heck is all this?¡±
The entire room was filled with red and pink roses. The bed was covered in red rose petals arranged in the shape of a heart. Pink bed curtains, pink bed linens, and even the curtains by the French windows fluttered in the wind.
It reminded Su Wanwan of the photo that Mo Weiyi sentst time, which had the same arrangement.
This was ridiculous.
Had theye to the hot springs or were they on their honeymoon?
¡°Ji Jie did it.¡± Huo Jingshen said bluntly.
Well, the young man did an excellent job. He would get a raise when they returned.
Unable to stand the sight, Su Wanwan quickly found her suitcase and started looking for her swimsuit. But then she discovered¡
¡°What¡¯s with all these¡what are these for?¡±
She was holding half-transparent storage bag containing¡
birth control supplies!
¡°Just in case,¡± Huo Jingshen shamelessly said.
Throwing the storage bag aside, Su Wanwan blushed and continued to search until¡
She picked up the ck bikini, trembling in anger, ¡°Bastard! Who told you to bring this? Where¡¯s the two-piece swimsuit I bought?¡±
The carefully selected swimsuit had been swapped!
¡°Baby, you look better in this,¡± Huo Jingshen nonchntly responded.
The parents of the children are here, and you want me to show them this?¡±
After all, all the parents of the children were here.
¡°Who said anything about showing them?¡± Huo Jingshen shamelessly continued, ¡°It¡¯s just foryour husband¡¯s eyes.¡±
He pointed.
Su Wenwen then noticed the en-suite outdoor pool outside the bedroom window. It was convenient, clean, and extremely private.
We can¡¯t spend the whole day in the room tomorrow, can we?¡± Su Wanwan was speechless.
They should at least go out and soak in the public bath. The children loved ying outside, and the teacher might have arranged group activities.
¡°The whole day?¡± There was a smirk on Huo Jingshen¡¯s face. ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s not a bad idea.¡±
Su Wanwan was, once again, left speechless:¡±¡¡±
This damn man, always up to no good.
*
*
Soon, the school bus arrived, followed by the parentsing in their cars one after another.
Most of the rooms were assigned to the lower floors. When Su Wanwan found out Fu Ziyang¡¯s room was also downstairs, she felt too embarrassed to show her face.
This is utterly¡
His intentions are as clear as day.
Too obvious.
Thankfully, Shi Huan¡¯s room with Shi Luoluo was just next door. Due to full upancy, all the rooms had been booked and there were no rooms to switch.
After dinner, Teacher Wang exined some precautions.
Lastly, she said that tonight was free time. They had group activities scheduled from tomorrow afternoon, a bonfire party in the evening, a mountain tour the day after tomorrow morning, and then they could leave in the afternoon.
As they left the dining room, the parents and students started looking for recreational facilities. Fu Ziyang was also pulled away by Wang Xiaobo. Su Wanwan, meanwhile, dashed directly into the shopping mall on the first floor and bought a two-piece swimsuit.
Though it wasn¡¯t as nice as the previous one, it was better than nothing.
Huo Jingshen did not object and watched her gleefully selecting, bargaining with the shopkeeper, much like a cunning fox.
It did not matter what she wore, seeing that it would eventually be taken off.
*
*
Upon returning to the hotel, Su Wanwan immediately went to knock on the door next door.
After knocking twice, she was held back by Huo Jingshen¡¯s hand.
¡°Don¡¯t pull me, hey, I want to hang out with them for a while¡¡±
Before she could finish, their room door was mmed shut.
Hence, when Shi Huan opened the door, she found¡
The corridor outside was empty. Was there anyone there?
This was frighteningly odd.
¡°Luoluo, if someone knocks on the door, you must first ask for their name. If you don¡¯t know them, don¡¯t open the door, okay?¡± Shi Huan repeatedly instructed.
Okay. Little Luoluo obediently nodded in agreement.
*
*
Back in their room, Huo Jingshen bolted the door, ¡°To soak in the hot spring with my wife.¡±
Hehe.¡± Su Wanwanughed sarcastically.
Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek teasingly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, unwilling?¡±
She had been busy preparing for the final exams the past week and hadn¡¯te home, leaving him to be a monk for a week.
Huo Jingshen shook his head.
Su Wanwan looked at him puzzlingly. ¡°what¡¯s been on your mind?¡±
Forget it.
She should take a soak first.
With her newly bought swimsuit in hand, Su Wanwan went into the restroom.
Soon after changing, she came out, wrapped in arge bath towel.
Huo Jingshen eyed her somewhat unhappily. ¡°We¡¯re alone, why wrap yourself in a towel?¡±
¡°None of your business!¡± Su Wanwan made a dash for the outdoor hot spring pool.??
5
Su Wanwan halfy on the edge of the hot spring pool, her head propped on a towel. Surrounded by warm water, she feltfortable,pletely satisfied. The hot spring pool was steaming up, the mist creating a dreamlike scene.
The water temperature was just perfect. Though it was freezing outside, it was neither too cold nor too hot indoors. There was also a venttion system.
With all the sses and the two to three hours of travel, soaking in the hot spring felt exceptionallyfortable.
Su Wanwan becamepletely rxed, her body and mind thoroughly at ease, and she soon started to doze off.
Chapter 406: 406, Even Thieves Have Friends
Chapter 406: Even Thieves Have Friends
The next day.
The morning activity was indoors.
The teacher prepared some light-hearted IQquestions. Su Wanwan wanted Fu Ziyang to participate, but the kid was aloof and simply sat there expressionless.
Shi Luoluo, on the other hand, was lively. Maybe it was because she was the ss representative that she felt she had to set an example. The girl was smart and beautiful, answering many questions right in a row, ultimately winning
first ce.
When the awards were being given out, Su Wanwan¡¯s phone rang abruptly.
¡°I¡¯m going to take a call.¡±
Huo Jingshen nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t go too far.¡±
The call was from Zhao Qianqian, asking if she wanted to head to the reading
room.
Upon hearing that Su Wanwan was at Phoenix Mountain soaking in a hot spring, she eximed in surprise, ¡°Wow, are you and Mr. Huo having a little couple getaway? You two are so sweet!¡±
Su Wanwan coughed twice, and didn¡¯t deny it, ¡°Enough chit-chat, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
When she hung up and was about to walk back, she heard a familiar voiceing from behind.
¡°I already told you, I didn¡¯t take your stuff! I really didn¡¯t take it!¡±
Then another even sharper female voice sounded, ¡°Oh yeah, you didn¡¯t take it, you stole it! You¡¯re a thief!¡±
¡°I did not!¡±
¡°Still denying it? My ne was clearly found in your bag! Did it just grow legs and walk in by itself?¡±
¡°I really didn¡¯t take your stuff¡¡±
¡°ying the victim card after stealing and getting caught, huh? You¡¯re as innocent as a white lotus!¡±
¡°Right, too bad Xixi isn¡¯t here, who are you trying to impress with your acting?¡±
¡°A lowlife is always a lowlife. You think you can be a phoenix bytching onto Xixi?¡±
¡°You should at least keep your hands clean. Who could let a dirty person like you into their house?¡±
Su Wanwan quickly walked over.
The indoorndscape near the north entrance on the first floor of the clubhouse had an artificial mountain and a cascading stream, creating a distinctive atmosphere.
Bai Ruwei was standing there in a ck one-piece swimsuit, wrapped in a bath towel.
Her fair face was streaked with tears, and the fingers clutching her bath towel were constantly trembling.
There were also two young girls standing in front of her. Judging from their silhouettes, they both had sensual figures and were wearing bikinis.
One of the girls with short hair sneered, ¡°This ne was a birthday gift from my grandmother, and you just took it.
¡°Nini,¡± the other girl tried to pacify her, ¡°Let it go. Bai Ruwei came from the countryside. We¡¯re in the same school. She¡¯s so impoverished; she only eats vegetables every meal. Even her tuition is sponsored by the Mo Family.¡± The girl named Nini suddenly became angrier, ¡°So being poor gives her the right to steal my ne?¡±
¡°She probably wanted to sell your ne for money. Or maybe she thought your ne was pretty and wanted to steal it to please Xixi. After all, she was brought here by Xixi today¡¡±
Those words poured fuel on the fire. Nini walked over, raised her hand, and pped her, ¡°How dare you! With your looks, you dream of marrying Xixi?
She almost immediately raised her hand again, pping her a second time, ¡°Do you even dare to think about entering the gates of the Huo Family? Look at your lowly character!¡±
just as she was about tond a third p, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
¡°Who are you?¡± She asked angrily.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t even acknowledge her. She shook her off and went over to help Bai Ruwei up, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Bai Ruwei¡¯s face was already swollen and red. Hearing Su Wanwan¡¯s voice, she kept her head down, as if she didn¡¯t want Su Wanwan to see her face.
Su Wanwan spun around angrily, ¡°Two against one, have you no shame!¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Xia Jiani almost fell over. Once she managed to steady herself, she asked angrily.
Su Wanwan replied coldly, ¡°I¡¯m her friend.¡±
¡°Friend?¡± Xia Jiani snorted, ¡°Even thieves have friends?¡¯
¡°I am not a thief!¡± Bai Ruwei abruptly lifted her head.
Su Wanwan looked at her.
She then noticed that Bai Ruwei had put on a bit of makeup, which added to her already elegant beauty. Especially since she had just got pped twice, her cheeks were swollen and red, tears filled her eyes. She was biting her lower lip, her expression showing how wronged she felt, making her look even more pitiful.
For some reason, Su Wanwan was reminded of the time at the wedding when Bai Ruwei had been falsely used by Su Yanyan¡ She looked exactly like this
then¡
She instantly turned to the two girls, ¡°You say she stole something, do you have any evidence?¡±
The girl who had been stirring the pot immediately replied, ¡°The ne was found in her bag. That¡¯s the evidence!¡±
Su Wanwan sneered, ¡°If I take the ne and put it in your bag, does it mean¡that you¡¯re the thief?¡±
The girl¡¯s face changed dramatically, ¡°What are you talking about?
Su Wanwan retorted, ¡°She stole from her friends while out on a trip, and carelessly put it in her bag, and just happened to be found out? Is she that stupid?¡±
Xia Jiani frowned.
The girl snapped, ¡°Nini, don¡¯t believe her. Anyone who¡¯s friends with a thief can¡¯tbeagood person!¡±
After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, decked out in high-end brands from head to toe, and sneered mockingly, ¡°You have sly and flirtatious eyes, and you¡¯re wearing so many designerbels. You must be hanging out with some rich businessman, right? It seems you and Bai Ruwei are really simr. You are both good at seducing men. Maybe you¡¯re even a mistress¡ Ah! Before she could finish her words, a p had alreadynded on her face.
She was flung back by the force, falling onto the artificial mountain.
Chapter 407: 407, Slander viciously
Chapter 407: nder viciously
Her body cleared the ground andnded on the artificial mountain structure.
The pain was intolerable.
¡°You dare to hit me, you rude girl?¡± She stared at her reddening arm, all twisted in anger.
Su Wanwan smirked, ¡°You have a foul mouth. Hitting you might have been lenient, you deserve to be dunked in a hot pot to cleanse your filthy mouth, and then we can talk.¡±
The girl couldn¡¯t stand such humiliation and lunged at Su Wanwan, teeth bared and ws shing.
But before she got close, her wrist was seized and she was flung aside.
¡°Ah!¡±
This time she fell directly on the ground.
The entire floor of the clubhouse was made of chilling cold ceramic tiles.
Seeing her knee scraped with an instant wound seeping blood, she was in pain and furious but dared not to retaliate.
Who would¡¯ve thought this delicate looking Su Wanwan is so strong?
After going down twice, she clearly wasn¡¯t her match.
¡°Are you okay, Li Yu?¡± Xia Jiani started to shout, ¡°You dare to hit my friend?¡±
Su Wanwan smirked, ¡°I¡¯ve already hit her, what do you want to do now?¡±
Xia Jiani:¡±¡¡±
Seeing a familiar figure approaching, she immediately threatened, ¡°You just wait and see!¡±
Then she started calling for someone, ¡°Zhexi,e here, Zhexi!¡±
Huo Zhexi wasing down the stairs, a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth.
There were only two guys at today¡¯s gathering but three women were called.
Besides Bai Ruwei, the other two were invited by his friends, who bbered something about having a orgy¡
Hearing the call, he walked over.
¡°Zhexi, this damn girl just hurt Li Yu.¡± Xia Jiani immediately started toin.
Huo Zhexi squinted his eyes, then upon seeing Su Wanwan¡¯s face, he involuntarily shuddered.
Fuck, it¡¯s Su Wanwan again!
Frantically looking around, he noticed no sign of Huo Jingshen. He rxed a bit, then started to shout, ¡°You damn girl, how dare you hit my friend! Are you itching for a beating?¡±
Su Wanwan gazed at him speechlessly.
So he is the one they called ¡°Zhexi¡±. Such a detestable nickname.
¡°Zhexi, Bai Ruwei also stole my ne. I was simply questioning her here when this brat suddenly charged and attacked us, even hurting Li Yu.¡± Xia Jiani added.
Huo Zhexi turned to Bai Ruwei, ¡°Why would you steal from others? Haven¡¯t I told you, if you want anything talk to me about it? How could I, Huo Zhexi, mistreat you?¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
When did they be a couple?
Bai Ruwei¡¯s face turned pale, ¡°I didn¡¯t steal anything. I have no idea how the ne ended up in my bag. I swear I didn¡¯t steal.¡±
But Xia Jiani imed firmly, ¡°Your bag is where I found my ne. Li Yu can vouch for me.¡±
Li Yu, standing by the side, quickly joined in, ¡°Zhexi, you have no idea, she¡¯s in my school. Her family is incredibly poor and she¡¯s always stealing things. Be watchful, don¡¯t be fooled by her!¡±
¡°You¡¯re ndering me!¡± Bai Ruwei interrupted her, crying, ¡°I¡¯m indeed poor, but I would never steal. I haven¡¯t stolen anything, I swear¡¡±
¡°If you didn¡¯t steal, then why was the ne in your bag?¡±
¡°Exactly, stop the victim act!¡±
¡°Zhexi, don¡¯t believe her!¡±¡±
¡°She¡¯s just trying to get close to you to take advantage of you!¡±¡±
¡°She¡¯s stolen a ne today, who knows what she¡¯ll steal next!¡±¡±
¡°You should just dump this kind of woman!¡± ¡±
¡°Zhexi¡¡±
They started a back-and-forth, upsetting Bai Ruwei who rushed to grab Huo Zhexi¡¯shand, ¡°Zhexi¡¡±
Huo Zhexi violently shook her off, ¡°Don¡¯t fucking touch me, whore!¡±
Bai Ruwei fell to the ground with a ¡°thud¡±, it even pained Su Wanwan to hear.
She stepped forward.
¡°Huo Zhexi, are you a moron?¡±
Huo Zhexi snuffed out the cigarette on the ground, ¡°Fucking hell, try saying that again?¡±
Su Wanwan looked back at him, enunciating each word, ¡°Are. You. A. Moron? Bai Ruwei is your girlfriend, you didn¡¯t even rify what happened before doubting and denying your own girlfriend, believing others instead?¡±
¡°Damn it!¡± Huo Zhexi, with his head of red hair almost bursting with fury, raised a fist threateningly, ¡°You really think I won¡¯t hit you? Do you believe I¡¯ll beat you up right now?¡±
Su Wanwan wasn¡¯ t afraid of him.
Just a reckless mother¡¯s boy who only knows how to wine and dine. Dealing with him would be easy peasy.
However, a familiar cold male voice echoed, ¡°Who are you threatening to beat up?¡±
As soon as Huo Zhexi heard the voice, he froze.
Damn it!
This is a nightmare!
He had checked earlier, Huo Jing wasn¡¯t here!
Now he¡¯s really done for. That witch would definitely snitch again and frame him.
Sure enough, Su Wanwan turned around, her voice dripping with sweetness, ¡°Husband.¡±
Huo Jingshen had already approached.
His features were attractive and eyes deep, his quiet demeanor slightly threatening.
He was tall, his aura strong. Despite having a slight resemnce to Huo Zhexi, his mature and stable temperament instantly drew everyone¡¯s attention.
As he reached, Huo Jingshen looked down at Huo Zhexi, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±
Huo Zhexi¡¯s rage had all but dissipated. He awkwardlyughed and greeted, ¡°Bro, what a coincidence! You¡¯re here too.¡±
Huo Jingshen quickly scanned the others present, ¡°These are your friends?¡±
Xia Jiani and Li Yu instantly tensed up, and Bai Ruwei clutched her towel tighter.
Though Huo Jingshen¡¯s gaze swept very quickly over everyone, it lingered on no one.
Huo Zhexi subconsciously nodded.
Chapter 408: 408, strongly protecting wife, too cool.
Chapter 408: strongly protecting wife, too cool.
Huo Zhexi subconsciously nodded.
¡°All day long, other than using your parents¡¯ money for women, can you do anything serious?¡±
Hearing this, Huo Zhexi eagerly tried to exin, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve misunderstood, these two are not mine¡
¡°Want to teach your sister-inw a lesson?¡±
Huo Zhexi was immediately tongue-tied, ¡°Brother, no¡ I didn¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Was I just deaf?¡±
¡°No¡¡±
¡°Is this how your parents taught you to treat elders?
Huo Jingshen fired question after question.
His tone was neither high nor quick, but it was stern and authoritative.
Huo Zhexi was almost to tears, damn your elders, wailing and weeping.
Xia Jiani and Li Yu on the side were scared out of their wits.
What the hell!
This spoiled brat, is she really Huo Zhexi s elder?
That means¡
She is the wife of Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Huo Family?
¡°Apologize to your sister-inw!¡± Huo Jingshen coldly ordered.
Huo Zhexi felt that apologizing to a young girl in front of two women was
utterly disgraceful, but¡
No choice!
Who asked Huo Jingshen to be here?
He was a coward indeed.
Lowering his head, Huo Zhexi mumbled an apology, trying to gloss over it,
¡°Sorry.¡±
¡°Speak clearly.¡±
At Huo Jingshen¡¯s words, Su Wanwan could no longer hold back herughter.
Sorry, but she couldn¡¯t resist, her husband was simply too cool!
Huo Zhexi nearly vomited, he had to clearly repeat it, I m sorry!
Thought it would end here?
¡°Sorry to whom?¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was low and calm. Even though there wasn¡¯t much anger, it exerted an inexplicable pressure.
Huo Zhexi was cornered, he gritted his teeth and finally relented, ¡°Sister-in-
w, I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong!¡±
Should be over now, right?
Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen would turn to Su Wanwan,
¡°Darling, should we forgive him?¡±
Huo Zhexi: ¡°¡¡±
Good heavens!
After he apologized to this extent, there was still the question of whether to forgive him or not?
Bully!
Su Wanwan deliberately coughed twice, ¡°Okay, this is a public ce. There are so many people here. There is a limit to how much an elder should reprimand a junior. Now that the child has realized his mistake, my dear, let¡¯s just forgive him.¡±
This time, not only did Huo Zhexi:
Huo Jingshen also:¡±¡¡±
This girl, give her a bit of color and she really would open a dye shop?
Her authoritative stance and her overbearing attitude¡
He liked it.
Then, his dark eyes narrowed, and his handsome face turned stern, ¡°Zhexi, you¡¯ll be twenty-four after the New Year, you should know better. ying is fine but know your limits. Don¡¯t think that no one would find out because this ce is remote. If one day a video of you and a woman involved in 4P really goes viral on the inte, how am I, your older brother, supposed to face people?¡±
Huo Zhexi was ying innocent, listening attentively, when suddenly he felt something was off.
4-
4P?
Wait a moment!
He quickly raised his head, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I haven¡¯t had 4¡¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted him impatiently, ¡°Your sister-in-w and I have something to do. When we return to Nancheng, I¡¯ll discuss this with your parents in detail.¡±
Having said that, he left with Su Wanwan.
Huo Zhexi stood there in a cold breeze, feeling chilled to the bone.
Talking to his parents in detail?
It¡¯s over, he was really screwed now¡
¡°Zhexi.¡± Only then did Xia Jiani dare to approach, ¡°Is that brat really your sister-inw?¡±
Li Yu also asked, ¡°Is it fake? She¡¯s so young. Isn¡¯t she just a mistress your
brother keeps outside¡¡±
¡°Mistress your ass!¡± Huo Zhexi whirled around, ¡°You, go away!¡±
Li Yu was taken aback.
Huo Zhexi pointed at Xia Jiani, ¡°And you! Leave too!¡±
Xia Jiani¡¯s face darkened.
Finally, Huo Zhexi pointed at Bai Ruwei, ¡°Everyone, get the hell out! Go away!¡±
Having said that, he turned and stormed off first.
The two women nced at each other, no longer in the mood to care about Bai Ruwei, and walked off huffily.
Bai Ruwei bit her lip and quickly followed in the direction Huo Zhexi had gone.

On the other hand, just as they entered the room, Su Wanwan¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°4P? You actually know about 4P?¡±
Huo Jingshen stopped, looking at Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan was also looking at him, her clear and beautiful eyes staring straight, ¡°How did it feel just now?¡±
¡°What felt how?¡±
¡°Those two women, they¡¯re wearing bikinis. Do they have good figures?¡± Su
Wanwan tried to coax him.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s lips curved slightly, and he replied smoothly, ¡°Not as good as my darling¡¯s.¡±
Su Wanwan continued to gaze at him, unable to hold back a smile at the corners of her mouth as she was about to speak again¡
¡°Little Auntie!¡± Fu Ziyang ran over from behind, his usually calm face revealing a rare anxious expression, ¡°Where did you run off to? The prizes are almost out.¡±
¡°What do you mean the prizes are almost out?¡± Su Wanwan asked in confusion
as he pulled her inside.
A mother was singing children¡¯s songs with her son on the stage.
Huo Jingshen muttered, ¡°He wants to go on stage and perform. He¡¯s after the couple¡¯s pencil box.¡±
¡°What couple¡¯s pencil box?¡±
Huo Jingshen, seemingly helpless, he gestured for her to look.
Su Wanwan looked over to see Shi Luoluo behaving and sitting on the sofa, with
a pink sheep pencil box in her hand.
Looking at the stage, there were several prizes next to the teacher on the sofa, but only one pencil box was left ¨C a blue one, of a male sheep.
Su Wanwan immediately realized that Fu Ziyang wanted to get a matching prize to his little girlfriend¡¯s, and there was only one left.
She quickly asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you apany him to perform?¡±
Huo Jingshen replied without changing his expression, ¡°I can¡¯t.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you very good at singing? Like that time at the club, huh? Huo Jingshen gave her a sarcastic look.
Su Wanwan once again:
It was just singing a few songs with Nangong Ci, was it necessary to remember it till now?
¡°Are there any more kids who want to perform?
Fu Ziyang raised his little hand.
The teacher immediately said with a smile, ¡°Now, let¡¯s wee Fu Ziyang and his¡ little auntie.¡±
Su Wanwan felt uneasy.
Just as she was about to take the stage with the little fellow, she couldn¡¯t help but ask him, ¡°Ziyang, what are we performing? Singing?¡±
She assumed the little fellow was so enthusiastic, he must have been prepared, right?
Who would have guessed¡
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±
Su Wanwan was surprised, ¡°Don¡¯t know?¡±
Fu Ziyang calmly took the microphone and thrust it in her hand, ¡°You sing, I¡¯ll just pretend.¡±
Su Wanwan once again:¡±¡¡±
These two nephews are enough, are they ying with her?
In the end, Su Wanwan was alone on the stage like a fool, singing and dancing. Finally, the teacher spoke, ¡°The performance was great, Fu Ziyang, what prize do you want?¡±
Fu Ziyang immediately pointed without dignity at the blue pencil box.
On the way to the restaurant.
Shi Luoluo was thrilled to be walking with Fu Ziyang, clutching her pink pencil box, ¡°Fu Ziyang, are you going to use this pencil box in the future?
Fu Ziyang held his little face with great earnestness, ¡°Will you use it?¡±
Shi Luoluo nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±
Fu Ziyang also nodded, ¡°Since you¡¯re using it, I guess I can use it too.¡±
Shi Huan:
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Whose genes did such a small child inherit to have such a cold-hearted and scheming personality?
*
*
After lunch, the teacher arranged some indoor group activities.
As there were no longer any couple prizes, Fu Ziyang resumed his usual aloof demeanor.
Halfway through the activities, Shi Luoluo became sleepy, and Shi Huan took her back to their room to rest. Huo Jingshen was also quickly called away by a phone call.
¡°At seven o¡¯clock tonight, we will have a bonfire party on the back mountain, everyone remember to dress warmly¡¡±
After the activities, Su Wanwan sent Fu Ziyang back to his room, then took the elevator upstairs.
When she arrived at the door of her room, she suddenly turned and walked to the door next door.
¡°Who is it?¡±
Hearing Shi Luoluo¡¯s cautious voice, Su Wanwan said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡±
Shi Luoluo immediately opened the door.
The little girl was wearing a cute pink one-piece swimsuit and her hair was tied in two small buns, looking incredibly adorable.
¡°Where¡¯s your older sister?¡±
¡°Huanhuan is enjoying a hot spring,¡± Shi Luoluo closed the door, unthinkingly leading Su Wanwan inside.
Shi Huan had already been soaking for nearly half an hour, feeling a bit hazy as she rose to leave the hot spring. She was wearing a phong-quang bikini, her shoulder-length hair was tied in a bun, revealing a slightly flushed face.
Suddenly, someone called out to her.
¡°Secretary Shi!¡±
She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes dazed, full of moisture¡
A click sounded.
Awakening Shi Huan from her haze.
When she saw it was Su Wanwan standing in front of her, she rxed slightly, still surprised, ¡°Mrs. Huo, you¡¡±
Su Wanwan grinned, ¡°I¡¯ll send you the photo.¡±
¡°¡Oh.¡±
Shi Huan wanted to say she didn¡¯t really need it.
She didn¡¯t like taking photos, let alone photos in a swimsuit¡
But since it was Mrs. Huo, and besides she was a female too, she didn¡¯t think much about it.
Chapter 409: 409, why is my sister-in-law so cute?
Chapter 409: why is my sister-inw so cute?
But after all, Su Wenwen was Mrs. Huo, a girl, so she didn¡¯t think much about it. They had exchanged phone numbers a long time ago, but had not added each other on Wechat. So Su Wanwan asked her, ¡°Is your Wechat linked to your phone number?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± said Shi Huan, as she went to the side, first wrapping herself in a bath towel and then picking up a pair of ck framed sses to put on.
¡°You don¡¯t seem to be shortsighted, why do you wear sses?¡±
They were very conservative and unattractive ck-framed sses.
They almost covered her whole face.
Shi Huan said, ¡°I¡¯m used to it.¡±
Su Wanwan sent a friend request on Wechat, then began to look at the photos she had just taken.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Shi who was usually dressed so conservatively, had such a great figure.
Although she was only 1.65 meters tall and was not the tall type of girl, she had delicate bones, good body proportions and most importantly, she was well- endowed!
It looked like she had a C-cup, right?
She usually wore such old-fashioned ck suits, what a waste!
And looking at her face¡
Su Wenwen suddenly turned to Shi Luoluo, ¡°I discovered you and Luoluo look a lot alike.¡±
You couldn¡¯t tell usually, but once her sses were off, her face looked like a replica of little Luoluo¡¯s
Especially those eyes, round apricot eyes, clear and bright, giving off an irresistible charm.
Before Shi Huan could respond, Little Luoluo chimed in softly, ¡°That¡¯s because Huanhuan is my sister.¡±
Su Wanwanughed and nodded.
Of course.
It was normal for sisters to resemble each other.
At this moment, there was a pink avatar frame, Su Wenwen immediately sent the picture to it.
Two secondster, she suddenly realized that she may have sent it to the wrong person.
Looking closely.
No way!
She actually sent the picture to Nangong Ci.
When did this guy change his avatar and username, what¡¯s with ¡°The Southern Wind understands me¡±?
Damn it.
Su Wenwen was flustered and immediately withdrew the picture.
Almost at the same time.
Nangong Ci: [?]
Su Wanwan hurriedly replied, [Sorry, I made a mistake and sent someone else¡¯s picture to you.]
Nangong Ci: [I thought my sister-inw was sending her own pictures, what a disappointment.]
Seeing this, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Nangong Ci didn¡¯t see it.
Stealing a nce at Shi Huan, Su Wenwen cleared her throat and quickly sent the picture to her Wechat.
Secretary Shi was so conservative in front of others, even though this swimsuit picture wasn¡¯t revealing, it wouldn¡¯t be good if a man saw it.
Luckily she withdrew it quickly.
**
Nangong Hospital.
Nangong Ciy on the sofa in his office, looking at the photo he had secretly saved, his peach-blossom eyes almost squinting into a line withughter. How cute is this sister-inw?
She identally sent the wrong picture.
Luckily he was quick, the first thing he did when he saw the picture was to hit ¡°save¡±, ha ha ha.
After thinking for a bit, he got up and left the room.
**
Ten minutester, Nangong Ci arrived at the VIP room on the top floor of the hospitalization department.
He pushed the door and found it was locked.
He immediately shouted, ¡°Second brother you¡¯re not calling a prostitute, are you? Hurry up and open the door!¡±
The door opened.
Seeing that it was Lu Chenyu who opened the door¡
Nangong Ci immediately started shouting again, ¡°So it is true that you called a prostitute!¡±
Pushing the door open, a strong smell came over. The coffee table in the room was filled with all kinds of vegetables for hotpot, and an induction cooker was in the middle bubbling away.
Chu Xiuhuang, in his hospital gown, was sitting on the sofa with his long legs folded, holding a ss of red wine.
Nangong Ci stood there, with the corner of his mouth twitching in annoyance. This person¡
How arrogant while hospitalized.
What has he turned this hospital into?
Is this eptable?
However, as soon as Chu Xiuhuang spoke, ¡°Close the door.¡±
Nangong Ci immediately closed the door and walked over, ¡°Second brother, are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang took a sip of his red wine, ¡°Celebrating.¡±
Oh right, today is Christmas Eve.
Nangong Ci smiled maliciously, ¡°Are you missing Secretary Shi? I have her picture, do you want to see it?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang squinted at him, as if disbelieving.
Nangong Ciughed, ¡°Just say if you want to see it or not? Beg me, and I¡¯ll show you.¡±
Assuming that Chu Xiuhuang would definitely want to see, who knew¡
¡°I¡¯m not looking.¡±
Nangong Ci: ¡°¡¡±
He thought that elder brother was suddenly interested in this personal secretary, otherwise why would he have here to the ward every day to take care of him, but now why¡
Seeing that Chu Xiuhuang seemed really not interested in seeing, Nangong Ci took out his mobile phone, ¡°You don¡¯t want to see? I insist you must see.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang curled his thin lips, raised his ss, and clinked it with Lu Chenyu.
To deal with a jerk, you have to fight fire with fire.
As expected, the mobile phone rang soon.
Chu Xiuhuang took a sip of red wine, picking up his own mobile phone.
When he slid open the screen to see that wet swimsuit photo.
¡°Puff?? ¡±
The red wine in his mouth sprayed out.
It sprayed all over Lu Chenyu¡¯s face and body across from him.
¡°Shit, second brother, you don¡¯t have to be so excited. Look, you sprayed all over fourth brother.¡± Nangong Ci immediately pulled out a tissue and handed it over.
The wet Lu Chenyu silently took the tissue, quietly wiped the wine stains off his face, then silently got up and put on his jacket.
Well, fourth brother, don¡¯t leave. Second brother, you¡¯ve upset the fourth brother, second brother¡¡±
Lu Chenyu simply just like that, left.
Nangong Ci was rather speechless.
Much for the friend of many years, cold-hearted man¡
The next second.
¡°Who sent you this photo?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked ominously.
Nangong Ci honestly answered, ¡°Your sister-inw.¡±
Well, it¡¯s not a man.
Chu Xiuhuang exhaled in relief, ¡°Delete the photo.¡±
¡°Why should I?¡± Nangong Ci immediately protested.
Chu Xiuhuang slightly narrowed his eyes, ¡°Won¡¯t delete?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t, I won¡¯t delete even if I¡¯m beaten to death!¡± Nangong Ci bravely held on, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with taking a look when I¡¯m free, I didn¡¯t expect secretary Shi¡¯s figure to be so good,pact and delicate, curvaceous in just the right areas¡ah!¡±
Nangong Ci s arm was twisted a full 180 degrees in an instant.
¡±Delete or not? If not¡¡± Chu Xiuhuangughed without showing his teeth, Don¡¯t even think about stepping on the operating table for the next month.¡±
¡°Delete delete delete, I¡¯ll delete it right away, second brother, let go, it hurts so bad shit¡¡± Nangong Ci was in such pain that he was sweating cold bullets.
He was about to disable him!
Is a photo worth it?
Chu Xiuhuang finally let go, bluntly in two words, ¡°Delete quickly.¡±
Nangong Ci reluctantly picked up the mobile phone, found the photo clicked delete, ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±
¡°Delete even in the already-deleted folder.¡±
Nangong Ci:
Damn it.
He could only go into the ¡°already-deleted¡± and delete again.
In the end, Chu Xiuhuang checked again before returning the phone to him,
¡°Forget what you just saw. Then, you can get lost.¡±
Nangong Ci looked at the food still being cooked at the table, ¡°Second brother,
the fourth brother is gone, why don¡¯t¡ I have a few drinks with you.¡±
¡°Get lost!¡±
Nangong Ci turned around and left, ¡°Alright alright alright, I¡¯m leaving now.¡± Motherfucker.
Here he invited himself to givemendation for his good deed, howe he ended up being beaten and sworn at?
Nangong Ci touched his own throbbing arm, and left in pain.
Chu Xiuhuang closed the door, came to the bed and sat down, slightly leaning his body, then putting both of his long legs on the bed.
Large hand holding the mobile phone, clicked open the photo, then magnified
the screen with his long fingers, erged, and erged again.
Tsk tsk.
So, it wasn¡¯t a bikini, it was a ck one-piece swimsuit, quite conservative, but ail of her arms and legs were exposed.
The limbs were slender, graceful and neat, highlighted by the ck swimsuit, making her skin look like jade.
The typical long ck hair was also tied into a bun, revealing her entire small face clearly.
Compared to the glimpse when she had taken off her sses, this look was clearer, but for some reason, there was a slight blush on her face¡
Looking at the structures in the photo, seemed like it was a hotel suite, with vague white mist in the background.
Could this be at a¡
Hot spring?
Must be!
So, she went to a hot spring with Su Wenwen, there are no bikinis, and no men.
Chu Xiuhuang was inexplicably delighted by his discovery.
He traced his finger along her face on the screen again.
Looking at Shi Huan in that camera shot, her eyes were clear, yet they also appeared drowsy and surprised, with their slightly drooping corners, they looked wet and deste, like those of a newborn puppy¡¯s, which appeared pitifully adorable.
Yet those eyes also revealed a sense of shyness and bewilderment, wet and confused.
Complimented by the surrounding hazy steam, her entire body appeared rosy and tender.
What the heck!
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyes narrowed, suddenly bingplex and unreadable. What¡¯s going on?
Chapter 410: 410, Merry Christmas!
Chapter 410: Merry Christmas!
The first time was when he saw her mouth.
The second time was when he saw her legs.
The third time was in the officest time.
Today, it was even more absurd¡
¡°Three times and you¡¯re out,¡± but this was already the fourth time recently.
Too close together!
And too strange!
Because all four times happened with the same woman.
This had never happened before.
Although he always prided himself on being flirtatious, Chu Xiuhuang admitted that he had never felt this way about any woman before.
He looked at the photo, his eyebrows furrowed.
He wanted to regain control of his mind, but he found he couldn t.
*
While someone was questioning himself in the hospital, the bonfire party at the
Phoenix Mountain Hot Springs was also beginning.
Because it was outdoors, and the club¡¯s halfway up a hill, there were no
buildings to block the wind.
The cold wind blew, making the air freezing. Not even the children and their parents, fully bundled up against the harsh cold, could ward it off.
Su Wanwan was also dressed in a thick down jacket, wearing a woolen hat and scarf. Only her eyes and nose were exposed, but¡
It was really so damn cold!
Within a short while, she felt her face was about to freeze solid.
If it weren¡¯t for apanying Ziyang to watch his little girlfriend s performance, she really wanted to run back to the room, soak in the warm bath, and watch a wonderful American action movie!
Su Wanwan withdrew her hands into her down jacket sleeves and stuffed them into her pockets. She looked like a bear, but she was still shivering.
In contrast, Huo Jingshen, wearing only a long ck coat, stood straight in the
cold wind, rxed as if he wasn¡¯t cold at all.
Su Wanwan nced at him.
nced at him.
After a while, she looked at him again.
Finally, Huo Jingshen turned his head and looked at her, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Su Wanwan asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, then stretched out his hand to start undoing
the buttons of his coat.
Su Wanwan was even more admiring.
Holy moly!
Not only was he not cold, but he was also unbuttoning his coat.
She considered herself to have a good physique, but she didn¡¯t expect¡
The next second, Huo Jingshen opened his coat and pulled her into his arms, wrapping herpletely in his warmth.
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
As her head rested on his warm chest, she could hear his steady heartbeat and
his deep mature voice, ¡°Is it warmer now?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded with a smile.
The bonfire in the distance had already been lit, and the Christmas tree next to
it began to shimmer and twinkle under the light.
Amid the flickering lights, she couldn¡¯t help but looked up.
The man¡¯s face changed between light and shadow in the flickering light, and because he was so tall, she had to lift her chin very high to clearly see his deep and three-dimensional eyes.
¡°Merry, Christmas!¡± someone suddenly shouted.
In the dark night sky, colorful fireworks suddenly exploded, one burst following another, crackling with a variety of colors, as if cracking in the bottom of her heart.
A stir in Su Wanwan¡¯ s heart.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s handsome brow also furrowed instantly.
Squinting again, he saw that Su Wanwan had buried her face back into his chest.
Not far away, a white figure silently stood, watching the scene for a long time before finally turning and leaving.
*
*
An hourter, due to the extreme cold and concerns about the little one catching a cold, the gift distribution ended, and the bonfire party was wrapped up ahead of schedule.
Just as Su Wanwan was following the crowd into the club, someone suddenly
tugged at her arm.
She turned around and was surprised to see Bai Ruwei.
Bai was in a white down jacket with long hair draping over her shoulders. She wore no makeup, looking pure and beautiful.
¡°Wanwan, can I talk to you for a moment?¡± Bai Ruwei asked, then turned to Huo Jingshen standing next to her, ¡°Mr. Huo, I only need to talk with Wanwan for five minutes, is that okay?¡±
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The two found a corner to sit down in the sofa area on the first floor.
¡°What do you want to talk about?¡±
¡°Wanwan, I really didn¡¯t steal anything,¡± Bai Ruwei said earnestly.
¡°I believe you.¡±
¡°Do you really believe me?¡± Bai Ruwei¡¯s eyes welled up with tears, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re the only one who believes me. But I swear to you, I didn¡¯t steal anything.
I didn¡¯t.¡±
With that, she started to cry again.
Su Wanwan said honestly, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just an intuition, but I believe you didn¡¯t
steal anything.¡±
People who steal, like the maid Jiang that Mo Weiyi had previously, usually have a mentality of seeking petty gain. They are not like Bai Ruwei, who works hard every day to earn her living expenses.
Moreover, she had heard from two girls before that they all came together. If so, who would be stupid enough to steal from theirpanions and ce it in their own bag?
¡°Actually, they just wanted to frame me, make Zhexi dislike me and break up with me because Xia Jiani has always liked Zhexi.¡±
¡°Are you really with Zhexi?¡±
Bai Ruwei nodded, ¡°I met Zhexi while working at the club. I identally spilled a drink on him. Any other man would have pped me without a second thought, but he didn¡¯t. Later, every time he came, he would ask me to apany him for drinks. Only after we got together did I realize he was Mr. Huo¡¯s younger brother.¡±
After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re not angry with
me, are you?¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
Bai Ruwei bit her lip, ¡°I never intended topete with you for anything. I had no idea that Zhexi was the third son of the Huo family. I just simply liked him. I didn¡¯t mean to hide anything from you¡¡±
¡°What exactly do you like about him?¡±
Su Wanwan blurted out.
She didn¡¯t think Huo Zhexi was a decent man at all.
With an outstanding elder brother like Huo Jingshen, and an honest and upright soldier brother like Huo Nuanyang, she found it strange how the Huo family could produce such an irresponsible third son.
Very soon he would be twenty-four but he still wasted his days away. He used to be good friends with Xing Yuyun, and they even shared a woman.
Moreover, it was obvious from what happened at noon today, Huo Zhexi didn¡¯t really care about Bai Ruwei. Perhaps he just saw her as an optionalpanion.
Of course, these thoughts were kept to herself. Bai Ruwei said, ¡°There¡¯s no reason for love. Once you fall in love, you just do, I can¡¯t control my feelings.
Alright then.
Su Wanwan truly didn¡¯t know what to say anymore.
¡°Wanwan.¡± Bai Ruwei spoke again, ¡°So, can you help me?
¡± Help you with what?¡±
¡°Zhexi went home this afternoon, and no matter how I exin, he won¡¯t listen. Can you help me exin to him? I truly didn¡¯t take Xia Jiani¡¯s ne. I haven¡¯t even seen the ne, and I went to the restroom at that time. When I came back, they imed to have found the ne in my bag. It was clearly a deliberate setup to frame me!¡±
¡°Have you told Zhexi these things?¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t believe me.¡±
Su Wanwan helplessly said, ¡°I can¡¯t meddle in your rtionship matters. Plus, Zhexi doesn¡¯t really like me.¡±
She and Huo Zhexi never got along. Besides, misappropriating a ne is a couple¡¯s issue, why should an outsider get involved? And she wasn¡¯t even there. Su Wanwan understood Bai Ruwei¡¯s predicament but persuading others to believe by word of mouth alone seemed a bit forced, given she was just an outsider.
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Ruwei gave a bitter smile.
Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave, Bai Ruwei¡¯s voice rang out again, ¡°I¡¯ll never forget what happened today, those two set me up for theft and intentionally embarrassed me. I won¡¯t let them off!
Su Wanwan was startled. ¡°What are you going to do?
Bai Ruwei nced around then whispered, ¡°That Li Yu, she¡¯s a student from our school¡¯s Chinese department.
She often messes around with men outside, especially at the club where I work.
I¡¯ve seen her messing around with men in the bathroom. As long as I catch her red-handed next time, I canpletely ruin her reputation!
As for that Xia Jiani, Li Yu is particrly nice to her. I heard her father is a high-ranking military officer, and both her grandparents are influential figures. For such families, the thing they fear most is scandal. As long as I¡¡±
Chapter 411: 411, cherish Mr. Huo well.
Chapter 411: cherish Mr. Huo well.
¡°Don¡¯t act rashly,¡± SuWanwan abruptly interrupted her, ¡°you should be careful not to court trouble.¡±
Bai Ruwei smiled, ¡°Wanwan, ever since I came to Nancheng, you¡¯re the only one who hasn¡¯t looked down on me, hasn¡¯t hit me, or cursed at me.
On the contrary, you¡¯ve cared for me, helped me, and even saved me several times. I¡¯m really grateful to you.
Yes, I¡¯m a country girl and my family¡¯s situation is very poor, but I relied on my own efforts to get admitted into Nancheng University.
My tuition fees have all been earned penny by penny by working part-time.
Are country people not human?
Since we¡¯re human, we should be equals. On what basis do they look down on me?
Were their ancestors born nobles?
Were they all rich?
I work so hard every day, I clean myself meticulously, but they still iste me, think I¡¯m dirty, think I¡¯m smelly, think I have lice¡¡±
She took a deep breath, ¡°So, I must strive harder to make my life better.
They may look down on me today, but one day, I want them to see me in a new light! Just like you.¡±
Bai Ruwei looked at Su Wanwan, ¡°Huo Jingshen treats you very well, you two are so lucky.
I was there when you epted Huo Jingshen¡¯s proposal at the Su family. Changing one¡¯s destiny can be that simple, you can do it, I believe I can too.¡±
SuWanwan,
¡°Cherish Huo Jingshen, Wanwan, he is truly a rare good man.¡±
After saying this, Bai Ruwei left with a smile.
*
*
The next morning, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen drove back to Nancheng.
Throughout the morning, Su Wanwan had been lethargic in the backseat.
Fu Ziyang furrowed his small eyebrows, ¡°Is Auntie this tired?¡±
Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, ¡°Your Auntie was exhaustedst night, Ziyang, reduce the volume on your phone, don¡¯t disturb Auntie¡¯s sleep.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Fu Ziyang obediently nodded, turning the volume on his phone to the lowest.
But now he couldn¡¯t send voice messages to Shi Luoluo¡
*
*
In another car, Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but yawn.
¡°Why isn¡¯t Fu Ziyang replying to the messages?¡±
Shi Huan spoke, ¡°Luoluo, no ying with the phone in the car.¡±
¡°Okay then.¡± Shi Luoluo had no choice but to put her phone away, ¡°Huanhuan, what are we going to eat for lunch?¡±
Is this child thinking about what to eat for lunch just after breakfast?
Just as expected¡
¡°I want to eat Huanhuan¡¯s curry chicken.¡±
Shi Huan smiled, ¡°Then we¡¯ll go to the supermarket togetherter.¡±
He initially thought they would only return to Nancheng tonight and had applied for a three-day leave from Chu Shao. This was perfect, a brief respite allowing him to make her favorite dish.
¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Shi Luoluo pped her little hands.
Huanhuan is the best cook, but he¡¯s always too busy to prepare meals for her.
*
*
When they returned to the city, Little Luoluo was propped up against the window when she suddenly pointed out, ¡°Huanhuan, Princess Sti!¡±
The most recent hit Disney animation from America, featuring Shi Luoluo¡¯s favorite female character.
Shi Huan took a nce and swiftly turned the car around.
¡°Huanhuan, are we going to the supermarket?¡± There was a supermarket on the ground floor of the mall.
¡°Mhm, can we also buy you Princess Sti?¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Shi Luoluo wanted it too but felt embarrassed to ask; after all, these things cost money.
Though a child, she knew it was inappropriate to always ask others for things.
But, Huanhuan always took the initiative to buy things for her¡
The two entered the crowd-filled mall since it was the weekend.
Shi Huan thought that the toy would be on the first floor in the children¡¯s toys section, but he couldn¡¯t find it anywhere.
So, he headed downstairs with Shi Luoluo.
While wandering around aimlessly¡
¡°Secretary Shi?¡±
Shi Huan turned around to look and nodded with a smile, ¡°Lawyer Lu.¡±
Lu Chenyu looked at him, then at Shi Luoluo, and with a stoic face, said nothing.
Shi Luoluo tilted her little face, looking into his eyes.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds¡
The atmosphere was strangely silent.
In the end, it was Shi Huan who spoke, ¡°Lawyer Lu, we¡¯ll be going first.¡±
He just turned to leave with Shi Luoluo when¡
¡°Stop!¡±
Shi Huan was startled, ¡°Lawyer Lu, is there anything else?¡±
Lu Chenyu looked at her expressionlessly, his lips parting, ¡°Your shoe.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Lu Chenyu¡¯s gaze lowered.
Shi Huan quickly did the same and found that her shoce was untied.
Awkward.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Without uttering a word, Lu Chenyu left with an expressionless face.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Only a man like Lawyer Lu woulde shopping alone at a mall.
After quickly tying her shoces, Shi Huan asked a service representative and finally managed to buy the doll she wanted.
While they were at it, they decided to go to the supermarket on the ground floor to buy groceries.
Little did they expect to bump into Lu Chenyu in the fresh produce section of the first floor.
He was pushing a cart filled with various ingredients, looking very much like the ideal domestic man.
Shi Huan nodded at him and began selecting chicken.
Little Luoluo chattered at his side, ¡°Curry, Huanhuan, remember to buy curry.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Chapter 412: 412, times table up to nine.
Arriving home and finding Little Luoluo absorbed in y in the living room, Shi
Huan started preparing dinner, making a curry chicken dish.
In the past few years, she had been living alone. Over time, her cooking skills improved, even though she had few chances to put them to use due to a busy work schedule.
Now that Little Luoluo was staying with her, she had to hire a cook to prepare nutritious meals.
¡°Huanhuan, you have a phone call.¡± Little Luoluo ran in, waving the
smartphone.
Shi Huan picked it up and froze.
She really didn¡¯t want to answer!
The phone was ringing persistently. Little Luoluo asked curiously, ¡°Huanhuan,
why aren¡¯t you answering the call?¡±
Shi Huan drew a deep breath and answered, Hello?
¡°Come take care of me at the hospital this afternoon.
Shi Huan bit her lip, ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t lie to me, I know you¡¯re back in Nancheng. While your boss is in the hospital hungry, you went shopping and to the supermarket. Do you think that¡¯s right?¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
This Lu Chenyu!
Usually quiet, but not shy at all to talk to Mr. Chu, even tattling on her?
They really must be close friends.
¡°Hurry up ande here, and bring me something to eat while you are at it.
Shi Huan nced at the time, ¡°Mr. Chu, it¡¯s already half past twelve.¡±
Buying a meal, waiting for it, and then rushing to the hospital, it might be close
to two o¡¯clock. Would the prince¡¯s stomach be able to bear it?
But Chu Xiuhuang seemed to ignore her words, ¡°By the way, I want curry
chicken rice.¡±
With that, the call was disconnected.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
**
Hospital room.
Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his phoenix eyes, nning his next moves.
After contemting all night, he wondered why he was suddenly so interested
in his secretary.
After all, he had known Shi Huan for seven years and they had been working together for more than five. Since day one, Shi Huan had been a silent presence, and he had never paid much attention to her.
Recently, just thinking about her brought up vivid images.
Chu Xiuhuang had been uninterested in romantic entanglements for years, butst night, for some reason, he felt like he was possessed and couldn¡¯t control himself.
Eventually.
He made a decision.
If he felt this way about her, he should make his move.
Chu Xiuhuang was not the type of man to overthink.
After this pleasant decision, he felt instantly refreshed.
It had been so long since he had pursued a girl¡
Thest time was probably when he was courting the little princess of the Mo family.
Shi Huan should be easier to win over than that little princess, right?
Over these many years, he had never seen Shi Huan with any other man. The longest amount of time she had spent with anyone was with him.
Why is a woman so devoted to a man?
Chu Xiuhuang narcissistically believed it was because she had feelings for him.
What other reason could there be?
Moreover, the photo essentially ruled out the possibility that she was seeing someone else.
After breaking down his thoughts, he felt a sense of warmth, even the outside sunlight seemed inviting.
Lying in his hospital bed, he leisurely waited for his precious little rabbit to
Until the door was suddenly knocked on.
Looking at the time, it was only one o¡¯clock.
Secretary Shi arrived so quickly?
What a two-faced little thing, she cared about him but pretended not to, fussing about for so long.
With a mock bragging smile, Chu Xiuhuang sat up on his bed, crossing his arms
and said, ¡°Come in.¡±
He assumed the person entering would be Shi Huan with a lunch box, but
instead¡.
¡°What are you doing here?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face darkened instantly.
¡°Mr. Chu.¡± Shen Bingbing, clutching a coat in one hand and a thermal lunch box in the other, walked in cheerfully. ¡°You haven¡¯t had lunch yet, right? I made some¡¡±
¡°Get out!¡±
¡°Mr. Chu?¡± Shen Bingbing was surprised that Chu Xiuhuang would tell her to leave?
He had always called her ¡°Miss Shen¡± in a gentle and courteous manner.
Maybe he¡¯s in a bad mood?
Perhaps.
I¡¯m currently in the hospital with no one visiting. Lying here all alone, whose mood could be good?
Shen Bingbing reassured herself and promptly put on a smiling face again,
¡°Mr. Chu, this is the chicken soup I stewed, the chicken is¡
¡°Get lost! Who cares about your chicken!¡± Chu Xiuhuang impatiently pressed the call bell, ¡°You have five seconds to leave my patient room!
¡°Mr Chu ¡± Shen Bingbing softened her voice, ¡°I understand that Secretary Shi was absent these few days, and no one has been looking after you, how lonely. I¡¯m not really busy at thepany these days, may Ie look after you?¡± As she was speaking, she put down her coat, opened the lunchbox, and served a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup.
Chu Xiuhuang squinted his phoenix eyes, remaining silent.
Shen Bingbing, holding the chicken soup, sashayed her way to the bedside.
Up close, Mr. Chu really was handsome.
Even in illness, there was no trace of frailty about him. No wonder they say a naturally blessed appearance makes all clothes look good.
Shen Bingbing had a thought and scooped up a spoonful of soup to offer it to him.
Approaching his sensuously handsome lips, she softly said, ¡°Mr. Chu, let me
feed you¡Ah!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly raised his hand, pushing her hand away, causing the spoonful and subsequently the entire bowl of soup she was holding in her left hand to spill all over her.
She was wearing a white base sweater today which was not thick. The soup instantly seeped through the material, scalding her skin beneath. The painful burn made her white sweater stick to her body, sodden and messy.
Just then, a nurse arrived, rushing in upon hearing the scream, ¡°What happened? Oh my God, Miss you¡
She thought it was an idental burn, but¡
¡°Throw this female hooligan out!¡±
The ¡°female hooligan,¡± Shen Bingbing, wore a strained expression. She wasn¡¯t even willing to wipe up the mess, leaving behind the thermal lunch box. She picked up her coat, ready to leave immediately.
She hurriedly arrived at the elevator. The door opened, only for her to see Shi Huan inside.
She immediately spotted the mess on Shen Bingbing¡¯s chest, frowning, ¡°Director Shen, why are you here? What happened?
Shen Bingbing quickly covered her chest with her coat, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Secretary Shi, I have to leave now.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Shi Huan wore a baffled expression.
When she arrived at Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s patient¡¯s room and saw the nurse cleaning the floor, spotting soup and water everywhere, and an opened thermal lunchbox nearby¡
Shi Huan inquired, ¡°Mr. Chu, did Director Shene here? She¡¡± ¡°Why are you only here now?¡± Chu Xiuhuang angrily interjected.
Shi Huan was stunned, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Your handsome boss was almost taken advantage of by that indecent woman!¡±
The cleaning nurse stifled augh.
Chu Xiuhuang gave her a cold nce, and she immediately lowered her head, continuing her work nervously.
It was the first time she saw a grown man iming to have been taken advantage of by a woman¡
Shi Huan was equally astonished, ¡°You mean to say¡ Director Shen was trying to¡ take advantage of you?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang kept a poker face.
He gave a tacit agreement.
¡°Come on,¡± Shi Huan forced augh, ¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re a man, plus you¡¯ve practiced Sanda and Taekwondo. How could she possibly¡¡±
¡°I am currently a patient, weak and unable to resist. If not for the nurse who came in promptly, I fear¡¡±
The nurse: ¡°¡¡± Could he be any more dramatic?
Shi Huan was filled with shock.
Was it true? Was Shen Bingbing really that desperate? But it seemed like it was her who was sshed with the soup¡
¡°Therefore, you must protect me from now on! Stay by my side at all times, until I¡¯m discharged!¡±
Shi Huan opened his mouth,¡±¡ oh.¡±
When the nurse finished cleaning up and left, Chu Xiuhuang nced at the bag in her hand, ¡°Where¡¯s my curry chicken?¡±
Shi Huan immediately opened the bag.
When he saw that it was a takeout box, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s handsome face darkened again. ¡°Takeout?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, don¡¯t you love this restaurant¡¯s takeout?
The young master Chu was very picky about food; it had to be clean, he paid attention to packaging and taste.
Over these five years, he had pretty much eaten at all the restaurants in Nancheng. However, he eventually settled on a few, with Shi Huan rotating among them to order his meals.
Chu Xiuhuang replied tersely, ¡°Did I ask you to buy their takeout?¡±
¡°You said you wanted to eat curry chicken, and only this restaurant has it.¡± Shi Huan took out the food box, ¡°This restaurant¡¯s curry chicken should be pretty good. While waiting for the order, I checked out the reviews on Dianping; there were lots of good reviews¡¡±
¡°Weren¡¯t you preparing curry chicken at home?¡± Chu Xiuhuang suddenly interrupted her.
Shi Huan was taken aback, ¡°How did you know?¡¯
Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his elongated phoenix eyes and fell silent.
But even without saying anything, Shi Huan knew. It must have been Lu Chenyu who snitched.
Once again inwardly cursing that poker-faced guy, Shi Huan said, ¡°I did prepare it, but my younger sister ate it all¡¡±
¡°Is your sister a pig? She eats so much!¡± Chu Xiuhuang blurted out. Damn, was he short of just one meal? Could she eat any more?
Shi Huan¡¯s face turned serious immediately, ¡°Mr. Chu, when you speak about five-year-old child in that way, I¡¯m very upset.¡±
Chapter 413: 4B, tripping over
Chu Xiuhuang snorted, ¡°I¡¯m not fucking happy either.¡±
Shi Huan dropped her chopsticks, ¡°Eat it if you want!¡±
With that, she stomped into the bathroom, mming the door behind her.
At the loud ¡°tter,¡± Chu Xiuhuang shuddered involuntarily.
What the hell.
This secretary, seriously¡
Acting all fiery, huh?
nning to trip me up again?
Just you wait!
Feeling undeservedly bitter, Chu Xiuhuang began to nosh a piece of chicken in
his lunchbox.
One day, I will drive you to a dead end, wishing to live yet unable to, and yearning for death yet unable to die!
*
*
Shi Huan had been feeling a dull ache in her lower abdomen on her way to the hospital, and sure enough, upon checking the restroom¡
Her period had started.
Even more awkwardly, she had stained her pants a little.
When she exited the restroom, Chu Xiuhuang was eating his meal.
A hypocritical pig! First, heined about the food she bought, now he was enjoying it so much.
Mentally grumbling about someone, Shi Huan was about to leave¡
¡°Stop!¡±
Shi Huan turned around.
¡°Did I ask you to leave?¡± Chu Xiuhuang squinted at her, a dangerously look on his face.
She had really crossed the line. He had put up with her provoking him just now, but now she was leaving him alone?
¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m just going downstairs to fetch something real quick. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang was inexplicably relieved, ¡°Okay, but remember to grab some cigarettes for me.
¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re a patient.¡±
¡°Cut the crap. Just buy what I ask you to.
1
Shi Huan looked at him, ¡°Mr. Chu, are you really hurt?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang tossed his lunchbox aside, ¡°Don¡¯t you know fucking well whether I¡¯m hurt and how I got hurt?¡±
Shi Huan twitched a corner of her mouth, ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯ve never seen a patient
like you who smokes and drinks.¡±
She had already seen the several bottles of red and white wine in the bedside cab when she entered the ward today. And even worse, they had all been opened already.
Chu Xiuhuang subconsciously nced at the cab.
Damn!
He hadn¡¯t finished the wine yesterday and the nurse had casually cleared it away. He hadn¡¯t noticed, and now he was busted.
Clearing his throat twice, he casually said, ¡°That wine was drunk by Lu Chenyu.
It was Christmas Evest night, he brought all this wine here, I haven¡¯t had a single sip.¡±
Back home, Lu Chenyu, who was wearing an apron decorating a cake, suddenly¡
¡°Ah-choo!¡±
With a slip of his hand, the cream flower he was about to squeeze onto the cake turned into a¡ poo.
Back in the ward, Shi Huan lifted her eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing him, ¡°Really?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly became impatient, ¡°Why are you talking so much now? Every time I ask you to do something, I say one thing, and you retort with three. Are you the leader? Or am I the leader?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just concerned about your well-being, Mr. Chu.¡± Shi Huan spoke lightly. After all, the quicker you recover, the sooner I can get out of this deal.
However, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face suddenly brightened, ¡°Since you care so much about my health, fine, I won¡¯t ask you to buy it. I quit smoking.¡±
Shi Huan:¡±¡¡±
Is he agreeing just like that?
¡°Actually, as long as there¡¯s a woman looking after me, I can behave very well.
Chu Xiuhuang hinted subtly.
Shi Huan swiftly turned around, ¡°I¡¯m heading downstairs.
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Xiuhuang felt delighted. Turns out little Huanhuan cares so much about my health!
Hmm, I will listen to her from now on, no more smoking. Swinging his legs a little, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
So when Shi Huan came back after buying her sanitary pads, she saw Nangong Chu preparing to do a check-up in the ward.
Shi Huan didn¡¯t pay much attention at first, just going to the restroom with her bag in hand. However, she heard Nangong Chu say, ¡°Secretary Shi?
Shi Huan quickly turned around, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Nangong Chu said serious. ¡°Could you please help me unbuckle Chu¡¯s trousers?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I need to do a check-up for him now, and I need you to assist me.¡±
Shi Huan thought this was absurd, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a nurse?¡±
Nangong Chu put on a mask, then the gloves, his expression unchanging, ¡°Brother Chu said he¡¯s shy, and he¡¯s embarrassed to be seen by a nurse.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
She wrung her fingers, ¡°Would a male nurse suffice?¡±
¡°The urology department only has one male nurse, and today he¡¯s on leave, not in the hospital.¡±
¡°Then find a male doctor?¡±
¡°Why does it have to be a male doctor?¡±
¡°I¡ I would feel ufortable.¡±
Is she supposed to undress Chu Xiuhuang?
No matter how she considered it, it just didn¡¯t seem right.
¡°Secretary Shi.¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice resonated ominously. ¡°Just how much do you dislike me, hmm?¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re misunderstanding.¡± Shi Huan adjusted her sses. ¡°I just feel that, as a subordinate, it¡¯s not appropriate for me to see my supenor¡¯s¡¡¯naked glory¡¯-¡±
Nangong Chu:
What on earth does ¡®naked glory¡¯ mean?
She was dying tough.
But she couldn¡¯t. She had to suppress it!
Chu Xiuhuang lifted his thin lips in a wicked smirk. ¡°Indeed, it wouldn¡¯t be suitable for a regr subordinate. But for you, I think it¡¯s perfect. And don¡¯t forget, who¡¯s responsible for my current condition? Besides¡
The curve of his smirk deepened further. ¡°Scared, are you? It¡¯s not your first time after all.¡±
The room fell into deathly silence.
Shi Huan felt herself blushing from head to toe.
Nangong Chu wasn¡¯t faring much better either.
Even though she was a professional doctor and had been on many rounds, seen many things, but¡
She was still a sheltered, innocent girl after all!
Oh Mr. Chu, is being so explicit really necessary?
Can¡¯t you consider the feelings of an innocent girl?
Yet, Chu Xiuhuang remained leisurely, reclining back. ¡°Get on with it, we don t want to dy the doctor¡¯s work.
Shi Huan still wanted to protest. ¡°Mr. Chu, why won¡¯t you just¡¡± ¡°Apart from using the bathroom and sleeping, I don¡¯t like taking off my own pants.¡± Chu Xiuhuang uttered these words without any shame whatsoever. Which implies that even during¡that, he had someone tending to his needs? Did he really believe himself to be some ancient emperor?
Shi Huan clenched her teeth. ¡°Mr. Chu, I¡¯m not¡¡±
¡°Why all the pointless chatter?¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted before she could finish. ¡°Haven¡¯t I told you, I don¡¯t like hearing the same thing said thrice¡¡± Before he couldplete his sentence, Shi Huan suddenly walked quickly to the side of the bed.
She moved so quickly that Chu Xiuhuang didn¡¯t even see iting.
His mouth was still half-open from his unfinished sentence¡
And Shi Huan had already turned and walked into the bathroom.
A few secondster, he turned to Nangong Chu who had her eyes tightly shut. ¡°What did you see just now?¡±
Nangong Chu shook her head quickly. ¡°Nothing, nothing at all, Brother Chu. I swear I didn¡¯t see anything!¡±
Even if you gave her a hundred guts, she wouldn¡¯t dare to see Chu Xiuhuang s ¡®naked glory
1. She was, after all, self-aware.
Chu Xiuhuang could only pull the nket over himself and said through gritted teeth, ¡°You can open your eyes now.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Nangong Ci opened her eyes, quickly moved to pull the privacy curtains closed.
*
*
When Shi Huan came out, she saw the curtain around the bed had already been pulled closed.
They must be administering the treatment now.
Shi Huan walked over to the couch and sat, nced at the bed and its curtain from time to time.
Uh.
Thinking of what might be happening there¡
Cough,cough.
She simply couldn¡¯t bear to think about it!
Shi Huan shook her head violently, expelling the unpleasant thoughts. To avoid any further inappropriate thoughts, she pulled out her phone and started reading the news.
There were numerous updates in the investment industry, but as she was reading, she got a notification. Her assistant, Xiaoliu, had sent her a Weibo news alert.
The headline readjNational Goddess Lu Zixi Rumored to have had a Child out of Wedlock!]
Soon, Xiaoliu sent another message,[Sis Shi, I¡¯m sorry, I sent the wrong message. Ignore it!]
Shi Huan replied ¡°No problem¡±, and didn¡¯t think much else of it.
*
*
Lu Zixi had no idea how the news had gotten out.
From three to four in the afternoon, a thread was posted on the Douban forum and then the news quickly spread to various entertainment gossip boards and even Weibo.
She was totally in the dark at the time, attending the premiere of her movie in Chengdu.
During the interview segment, a journalist raised the microphone and asked loudly, ¡°Miss Lu, would you like to address the recent rumors about you having a child out of wedlock?¡±
Lu Zixi was taken aback.
This event was being live-streamed. Given the current poprity and status, and the rare appearance in Chengdu, so the organizers made special arrangements. The broadcast rights were given to several live-stream tforms.
So, at that moment, all the viewers on those live-stream tforms saw the shock and pallor on her face.
Another reporter asked, ¡°Miss Lu, is this rumor true?¡±
Lu Zixi was speechless.
Because it caught herpletely off guard.
Her silence made the journalists even more excited. Her silence was as good as a confirmation!
So, chaos ensued. All the reporters swarmed the stage, asking sharp questions one after the other:
Chapter 414: 414, the whole city is in turmoil
Therefore, for a moment, the scene was in chaos. All the reporters flocked to the stage, talking all at once, with countless questions:
¡°Who is the biological father of the child?¡±
¡°Where is the child now?¡±
¡°Was that child at the premiere in Nancheng yours?¡±
¡°Miss Lu¡¡±
¡°Miss Lu¡¡±
Sounds of ¡°Miss Lu¡± in all different volumes echoed in her ears, and LuZixi¡¯s face turned ghastly pale. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Eventually, she didn¡¯t even know how she managed to get back backstage.
With a ng,
Lu Zixi snapped back to the present.
She looked up and saw her agent standing in front of her, staring at her furiously, ¡°Zixi, what on earth is going on with all those news online!¡±
¡°The rumours have spread all over the city now! They are saying that you gave birth but didn¡¯t raise the child, and that you¡¯d do anything for money!¡±
¡°You brought up such a scandal when the movie was just released, do you not want to survive in this industry anymore?¡±
¡°Out of all the artists I¡¯ve managed over the years, you¡¯re the first one who has capsized in the ditch!¡±
¡°The TV station and newspaper just called and asked me to respond immediately, what am I supposed to say?¡±
¡°All the manufacturers and advertisers are asking me if these rumours are true. If they are, they will use you of breach of contract and demandpensation!¡±
¡°Zixi, oh Zixi. How could you disgrace yourself like this!¡±
¡°Did you offend someone?¡±
¡°Zixi, at least say something¡¡±
Lu Zixi¡¯s face was pale.
She had no idea how to exin.
Because the news wasn¡¯t baseless, it was¡the truth.
**
Monday morning.
No sooner had Su Wanwan sat down in the ssroom than she heard several girls gossiping at the front:
¡°Lu Zixi is disgusting!¡±
¡°Exactly, I can¡¯t believe I voted for her as the most popr female star on Weibo!¡±
¡°I just saw her movie a few days ago! My boyfriend even said she looks pure!¡± ¡°Pure, my ass, she¡¯s just pretending, right?¡±
¡°During herst interview, she said she had never been in love, what an actress!¡±
Su Wanwan quickly took out her phone.
When she opened Weibo, she saw all sorts of shocking headlines:
[Nation¡¯s sweetheart¡¯s image copses, underage pregnancy shocks society!]
[21-year-old innocent starlet already a mother!]
[Shock! Unmasking the true face of the popr young actress!]
[Another scandal from Huanyu Media, leading actress¡¯s reputation in tatters!]
Su Wanwan¡¯s first reaction was that Lu Zixi must have offended someone. How else could all these things have been exposed?
Because when Lu Zixi came to seek her help, she only ambiguously revealed a part of it.
But now, apart from the part she knew ¨C that she had a surrogate pregnancy for money and abandoned the child in an orphanage, every detail, including the monthly remittances to the orphanage, has all been leaked.
It couldn¡¯t have been so thoroughly investigated without professional involvement.
When she clicked on Lu Zixi¡¯s Weibo, thements section under hertest exnatory post was full of curses.
[Die, bitch!]
[You deceived my feelings! Liar! Master of lies!]
[Apuredy? You¡¯re bullshit!]
[You¡¯ll get your retribution! I curse you to die soon!]
It was absolutely appalling!
¡°Wanwan, what are you looking at?¡± Mo Weiyi entered the ssroom, put down her bag, and leaned over to take a look.
As soon as she saw the news, she immediately said, ¡°Since when are you interested in gossip news? Hurry up, help me figure out why I got this question wrongst night!¡±
Su Wanwan put down her phone, and helped her friend with the question.
In the end¡
¡°Isn¡¯t this a first year¡¯s question?¡±
Mo Weiyi sulked, ¡°Could you not say it out loud?¡±
Does the little princess not have any shame?
Su Wanwan:¡±¡¡±
**
The two English lessons ended, and as they were about to go for lunch, they heard their homeroom teacher calling from behind.
¡°Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan, pleasee over.¡±
Su Wanwan frowned, having an inexplicable sense of unease.
Mo Weiyi also scrunched up her cute little face, ¡°Why is your homeroom teacher looking for you again? Does he have feelings for you?¡±
Su Wanwan gave her a re, ¡°I¡¯ll go see what¡¯s going on first, you head to the canteen and wait for me.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
Upon entering the elevator, the homeroom teacher asked her, ¡°Have you seen the news online?¡±
¡°What news?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
But what does that have to do with me?
The homeroom teacher said, ¡°Zan Song and Lu Zixi came to see you, are you also involved in this?¡±
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, ¡°Teacher Wang, I don¡¯t know anything.¡±
The homeroom teacher:¡±¡¡±
**
When they reached the office, Lu Zixi rushed over the moment they walked in, ¡°Miss Su, I beg you, please help me.¡±
Su Wanwan looked at her.
Compared to before, Lu Zixi looked extremely haggard, her face swollen, her eyes red and puffy, dark circles clearly visible, and even her skin was in a bad state, with foundation unable to hide the dullness and blemishes.
Where was the youthful beauty she used to have?
It seemed that she had been having a rough time since the scandal broke out.
¡°The news online, it must have been Mr. Huo who leaked it, because he was the one who hired a private investigator and found out about my past! But I¡¯ve already promised him that I wouldn¡¯t go see Ziyang anymore, I swear!¡± Lu Zixi spoke somewhat incoherently, ¡°Miss Su, I¡¯m finished. If Mr. Huo doesn¡¯t help me, I¡¯m really finished this time¡¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡± Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°What does this have to do with my husband?¡±
She had indeed told Huo Jingshen about this, but¡
She quickly responded, ¡°My husband definitely wouldn¡¯t do something like that, did you offend someone else?¡±
¡°Impossible! It was him! It must be him! Besides him, no one else knows about this!¡± Lu Zixi, in a state akin to madness, grabbed her hand, ¡°Miss Su, I beg you, please help me. Can you ask Mr. Huo to help me?¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you go find him yourself?¡± Su Wanwan retorted.
¡°He refuses to see me.¡± Lu Zixi bit her lip.
With the position and power of the Huo family, although she was scared, she still attempted it.
Yet, after circling around the Huo Yuan Group¡¯s building with Zan Song for an entire morning, the receptionist informed them that without appointments, no visitors were allowed.
They couldn¡¯t even get into the elevator, let alone see Huo Jingshen.
Having no other options, she came to the school, hoping that since Su Wanwan was Huo Jingshen¡¯s wife, it might be more effective to approach the matter through her.
Su Wanwan, feeling pity for her, softened, ¡°Listen, my husband is not the kind of person who would interfere in trivial matters. And since he¡¯s already made clear that Ziyang is not your son, a misunderstanding that has been cleared up, why would he reveal your past?¡±
¡°But if it¡¯s not him, then who else could it be? Only Zhuo Song and you knew about this, if not him, could it be you¡¡±
¡°So, are you suspecting me now?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s face darkened abruptly. ¡°MissSu¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m telling you officially that I knew nothing about this! It¡¯s useless toe find me! If you suspect my husband, go find him yourself. Don¡¯t bother me. I¡¯m going to eat.¡± After saying that, Su Wanwan turned to leave.
¡°Miss Su!¡± Lu Zixi grabbed her hand once more, ¡°Even if I beg you, could you please help me? Your husband is the only one who can save me now, if he helps me, I¡¯m sure everything will be alright.¡±
Su Wanwan found her utterly unreasonable and was somewhat impatient, ¡°Let go!¡±
¡°Miss Su¡¡±
¡°Zixi.¡± Zan Song interjected at the right moment.
Lu Zixi fell silent.
¡°Miss Su, the reason why this matter has blown up so much is because there must be someone behind the scenes stirring things up. If Mr. Huo is willing to help, given his connections and the Huo family¡¯s status, he can quickly suppress this.¡± Zan Song spoke sincerely, ¡°Zixi is just a bit impatient, she didn¡¯t mean to me Mr. Huo and Miss Su.¡±
Lu Zixi quickly added, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Su, I was too anxious just now. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
Finally understanding their intention.
However¡
¡°Miss Lu, even if all the news is true, as soon as it happens, you should think about how to solve it instead of avoiding responsibility, ming others, and even asking others to help you. My husband has no reason to help you out of the blue. He doesn¡¯t want to meet you now, do you think he¡¯s doing this on purpose to harm you?¡±
Chapter 415: 415, were on TV now.
Su Wenwen did not want to conjecture maliciously, but some things were just said bluntly.
Lu Zixi¡¯s expression immediately became awkward and embarrassed, ¡°Miss Su, I am not ignoring the problem. However, the rification I posted on Weibo isn¡¯t trusted by anyone, thements are filled with criticism towards me.
All of my sponsors are in talks with thepany about terminating contracts and discussingpensation ¨C all of my activities have been suspended. Netizens are even jointly calling for a ban on me!
If this issue isn¡¯t resolved, I won¡¯t just lose my career but will also end up with a significant amount of debt¡¡±
¡°In that case,¡± SuWanwan looked at her, ¡°why don¡¯t you just admityour mistake?¡±
Lu Zixi looked stunned.
Su Wanwan continued, ¡°Because all of these things are real. If you admit to them willingly with a good attitude, I believe your fans will understand you¡¡± ¡°No, absolutely not!¡± Lu Zixi interrupted her frantically, ¡°If I admit it, my career willpletely be destroyed.¡±
¡°The state you¡¯re in right now, how is it different from being destroyed?¡±
Lu Zixi was stunned once again: ¡°¡¡±
Her phone rang, Su Wanwan pulled her hand away, ¡°My friend is rushing me, goodbye.¡±
She pulled open the door, only to be suddenly confronted by a flood of sh photography as soon as she stepped out of the office.
The shes were continuous, their ring light forcing her to raise a hand to shield her face.

Huo Yuan Group.
After Huo Jingshen finished a transcontinental video conference, he came back to his office just as Ji Jie rushed in.
¡°Mr, Huo, something¡¯s happened to your wife!¡±
Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed while his long, skeletal hand pushed open the door, ¡°Who did she beat up this time?¡±
Ji Jie grimly replied, ¡°No, your wife is on TV.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
On TV?
He strode into the office and behind him, Ji Jie began to narrate, ¡°The recent scandal involving Lu Zixi having a child underage, a group of journalists tracked her down to her school and just happened to run into your wife. They confronted each other on the spot, your wife made somements, and now she¡¯s gone viral online! Everyone is praising your wife!¡±
Huo Jingshen once again: ¡°¡¡±
Truly unexpected.
A minuteter, the man sat in his ck leather chair, arms crossed over his chest, observing the interview news calmly.
The camera was focused on the corridor of the school¡¯s office, Su Wanwan stood there while a group of journalists asked her questions with their cameras and microphones:
¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with Lu Zixi?¡±
¡°Do you know about her underage pregnancy?¡±
¡°Did Lu Zixi really abandon her child after giving birth?¡±
¡°Miss, are you the nanny of that child? Please¡¡±
The final sentence got cut off by Su Wanwan, ¡°Have you ever seen such a young and pretty nanny like me?¡±
¡°Pfft!¡± Ji Jie burst outughing, and quickly covered his mouth.
Continuing.
¡°What exactly is your rtionship with Lu Zixi?¡±
¡°What¡¯s your view on Lu Zixi¡¯s incident?¡±
¡°Why did Lu Zixi look for you?¡±
Before Su Wanwan could reply, a journalist shouted, ¡°Lu Zixi ising out!¡±
¡°Lu Zixi, Lu Zixi!¡±
¡°And Zan Song!¡±
The scene thus devolved into chaos, with all three surrounded by journalists shoving mics in their faces, shes going off continuously, and innumerable questions thrown at them.
Except for theparativelyposed Su Wanwan, Lu Zixi, the one at the center of the issue, was obviously panicking.
In the midst of the confusion, she suddenly turned to Su Wanwan, ¡°Miss Su, even if you don¡¯t want to help, there¡¯s no need to be so ruthless. Do you really want to destroy me?¡±
Su Wanwan frowned in puzzlement, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±
Lu Zixi, while trying to avoid the cameras, said, ¡°Only you and Mr. Wang knew that Zan Song and I wereing here. Mr. Wang, who¡¯s been friends with Zan Song for many years, would never betray us¡¡±
¡°Enough!¡± Su Wanwan abruptly interrupted, her beautiful face abruptly turned cold and aloof, ¡°You¡¯re the one who messed up in the past, and now that your actions have been exposed, instead of thinking how to rectify the situation, you want to cover up the truth?
After realizing you can¡¯t cover it up, you looked for others for help. When others don¡¯t help, they¡¯re deliberately harming you? Trying to destroy you?
No wonder people say the entertainment industry is so superficial nowadays. Idol stars only pursue their looks, not their acting skills. It¡¯s precisely because of stars like you,cking substance and devoid of responsibility, that this is happening!
¡°Idols¡± huh? You¡¯re fooling the public and corrupting society, leading a bad example for children! You¡¯re also bringing down the standards of other idol stars! One rotten apple spoils the barrel!¡±
Huo Jingshen looked at the face of Su Wanwan on the screen, with a slight smirk on his thin lips.
The youngdy was passionately speaking with an emotional, angry, and sarcastically cheerful expression, particrly those beautiful phoenix eyes that were full of cold, glittering light, staring directly at Lu Zixi.
One being upright and forthright, the other retreating with guilt.
Such a juxtaposition clearly defined the highs and lows.
Ji Jie hurriedly began to tter, ¡°Didn¡¯t expect the young madam to have such strong values, the inte is full of praises for her.¡±
¡°Oh?¡± Huo Jingshen seemed to be in a good mood, ¡°What are they praising her for?¡±
Ji Jie¡¯s eyes lit up as he quickly took out his phone, opened a tweet, and scrolled down to thements section, ¡°Take a look, boss Huo.¡±
Huo Jingshen raised his brows, looking at thements.
[Thisdy has got her values right! ]
[Justice might bete, but it will never be absent! ]
[Lu Zixi, you did wrong but don¡¯t even dare to admit it. Now you me thedy for not helping to cover you up?]
[d thedy didn¡¯t join in the corruption!)
[Thedy is pretty and has a sweet voice, much more attractive than Lu Zixi! ]
[Is thedy also a celebrity? Can anyone guide me to her Weibo ount?]
[Within five minutes, I want all the information on this girl.]
[Looking for Weibo! Looking for Weibo! Looking for Weibo!]
At first, Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression was pleasant, but as he continued reading thosements, his brows furrowed deeper, his expression bing increasingly stern.
In the end, his face turned almost sullenly grim.
Ji Jie was terrified, he even began to doubt his life.
What¡¯s going on?
Isn¡¯t this all praise for the madam?
Why is Boss Huo suddenly unhappy about praising the madam?
Until¡
With a ¡°bang¡±, Huo Jingshen mmed the phone onto the table.
The loud sound¡
Scared Ji Jie out of his wits.
That was his new iPhone, bought just for ying PUBG!
¡°Immediately find someone to block all the information, never allow any photos or videos of the madam to appear on the inte.¡±
¡°Why?¡± Ji Jie blurted out, then quickly covered his mouth, ¡°I¡¯m sorry Boss Huo, I¡¯ll arrange it right away.¡±
Saying that, he grabbed his phone and ran off.
God, Boss Huo is so unpredictable, like a grim reaper!
Always changing his mood without any warning, terrifyingly unpredictable!
Damn, serving as Huo¡¯s assistant for half a year, he felt like his life expectancy had been shortened by several years.
Huo Jingshen sat there, fingers pressing against his forehead, his handsome face slightly tense and serious.
Looking at the youngdy¡¯s beautiful face on the screen, especially that teardrop mole under her eyes, blooming like a peach blossom.
Actually, Su Wenwen¡¯s appearance was very distinctive, even though she didn¡¯t wear much makeup and dressed casually, anyone who saw her once would find it hard to forget.
Several secondster, he suddenly picked up his phone and dialed a number, ¡°Lao Gu, I need your help with something.¡±

Huanyu Media.
Today, Ye Qitian was called back by his manager for a meeting. Just as he walked through thepany¡¯s main entrance, he saw Lu Zixi and Zan Songing out from a conference room. He stared and was about to rush over for an argument.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Manager Xie Ding quickly stopped him.
Lu Zixi bit her lip and left, while Zan Song snorted coldly, ¡°Ye Qitian, what¡ do you also want to kick someone when they¡¯re down?¡±
Xie Ding quicklyughed it off, ¡°Director Zan, don¡¯t misunderstand. Qitian was just immersing himself in his script, where he ys a mentally ill patient. He got too absorbed.¡±
Zan Song: ¡± ¡±
After Zan Song also left, Xie Ding quickly dragged Ye Qitian into the conference room.
¡°My god, for the love of god, could you please not interfere in other¡¯s business? Do you think you can afford to offend Zan Song? I took a lot of effort to get you into this industry. You¡¯re trying to ruin your future, aren¡¯t you?¡±
In recent years, Lu Zixi¡¯s poprity had been entirely attributed to Zan Song. His script selection and shooting techniques were indeed outstanding. Xie Ding wanted Ye Qitian to get roles in his uing projects as well.
Ye Qitian didn¡¯t care at all, ¡°Lu Zixi bullied my junior sister, and she¡¯s facing a media blockade. What are you afraid of?¡±
Xie Ding was speechless, ¡°Anyway, listen to me, you must not get involved in this.¡±
The entertainment scene was all about taking sides, let alone them being in the samepany.
For many years, Deng Anya had been the top actress of Huanyu Media. But in the past two years, Lu Zixi, following Zan Song, had shot several web-novel adaptations, took the idol-route and rose to fame rapidly. She quickly became the most popr national goddess on screen.
Chapter 416:416, Old Gu
Deng Anya used to be the top actress from Huanyu Media, but in recent years, Lu Zixi has skyrocketed in poprity by starring in several popr dramas adapted from online novels under the guidance of Zan Song. Her career path and poprity grew rapidly, making her one of the nation¡¯s favorite actresses in no time at all.
Deng Anya has been in the entertainment industry far longer than Lu Zixi and had always been thepany¡¯s cash cow. She must have been offended when thepany started to favor Lu Zixi over her, even if they still put on a facade of sisterly affection.
Most of the people in thepany are opportunists, and many have been secretly kowtowing to Lu Zixi in private hoping for some benefits.
However, they didn¡¯t expected Lu Zixi to face a scandal these few days which rocked her career. As a result, these fickle people are already starting to sway towards the other side.
And yet, Xie Ding well understands that trends in public opinion are merely transient.
In this industry, nothing can be certain until the very end.
Take a top national male star from a few years ago who had an extramarital affair scandal. He was once boycotted by the entire inte, and now he is still gaining endorsements and making a fortune.
With strong backing, what hurdle couldn¡¯t be ovee?
Perhaps a mysterious tycoon might even show up to give Lu Zixi a boost¡
Sure enough, after Ye Ojtian finished his meeting and checked his phone, the video news about Su Wanwan and Lu Zixi had been deleted.
There were no traces of it left on any forums.
Even the posts byizens sharing the link were quickly deleted within seconds, saying that the addressed link was invalid.
Immediately afterward, all the news about Lu Zixi was swiftly deleted akin to lightning striking before one could cover their ears, and all relevant posts from marketing blogs were also quickly erased.
When some people tried toment on Lu Zixi¡¯s Weibo, their ounts were immediately gged as abnormal and were logged out. When they tried to log back in, their ounts had been blocked, with the reason stated as:
¡°Due toments that vite nationalws and regtions, your ount has been temporarily suspended.¡±
Xie Ding palpitated his heart.
He knew it, things weren¡¯t as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Soon after, something even more unexpected happened.
[Are Deng Anya and Elder Gu about to tie the knot?]
[Elder Gu and Deng Anya spotted spending the night at a seven-star hotel!]
[Elder Gu¡¯s rtionship revealed! Hispanion is none other than the top actress of his empire, Deng Anya!]
[Deng Anya has been resting from worktely¡ to prepare for her wedding into a rich family!]
Explosive gossip headlines like these easily drowned out all the previous news about Lu Zixi¡¯s scandal.
Deng Anya has always been the top actress of Huanyu Media and a top-tier national actress. Even though her poprity has been overshadowed by Lu Zixi in the past two years, her deeply rooted fan base still exists. Moreover, her poprity increased significantly this time with the involvement of Elder Gu.
Who is Elder Gu?
In Nancheng, besides the ¡°Four Aristocratic Families,¡± there exists a legendary alliance of the ten richest families.
With the Huo Family taking the lead, the other families, namely the Chu Family, Mo Family, Lu Family, Ming Family, Nangong Family, Bo Family¡ etc., each dominate different industries.
Among them, the Gu Family controls the entire entertainment empire.
The current family head of the Gu Family, Gu Huai¡¯an, is a gentle and refined man. Being the seventh son born during his father¡¯s old age, he is respectfully referred to as ¡®Seventh Master¡¯ by the younger generation, and humorously as ¡®Elder Gu¡¯ by outsiders, despite only being 28 years old.
He is the youngest and the most legendary figure of the Gu Family, and also the most handsome and prestigious diamond-grade bachelor in the entire entertainment industry.
There have been several rumors about Gu Huai¡¯an in the past, but every time they were quickly denied and the posts deleted.
After all, anyone who walks near a river will inevitably get their shoes wet, right?
But this time, his scandal with Deng Anya keeps escting. Numerous big V bloggers and marketing blogs are stirring public opinion, gossip forums are crammed with discussions, and even Weibo was once paralyzed.
The gossip surpassed even the previous news about Chu Xiuhuang spending a fortune to buy out the entire jewelry exhibition area.
Even Gu Huai¡¯an himself posted a vague Weibo post.
Elder Gu: [It¡¯s time to see some things more clearly.]
Netizens began toment one after another:
[Does seeing clearly mean admitting Deng Anya is your one true love?]
[Tears of joy for Seventh Master finally finding his one true love! ]
[Wish you happiness always! ]
[We hope our YaYa is well taken care of- ]
[A match made in heaven! ]
Huo Yuan Group, CEO¡¯s office.
Gu Huai¡¯an, readingments on his Weibo, his handsome face twitched slightly.
Finally, he threw his phone away, lifted his gaze towards the man sitting behind his desk, gnashing his teeth word by word, ¡°What I posted on Weibo was about you, dammit!¡±
Huo Jingshen sat there elegantly, with a half-smoked cigarette between his long fingers.
Upon hearing this, he only smiled faintly and asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the news about Lu Zixi leaked by Deng Anya?¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an scoffed, ¡°I¡¯ve always managed to stay out of the artists¡¯ internalpetition.¡±
Running an entertainmentpany, he refrains from meddling into the dirty fights among the artists. Their survival depends on their own abilities.
Who makes money, he supports, as simple as that. He is not so low as to lose hisposure over some scandal concerning a minor artist.
But now¡
This old fox has actually asked him, the boss, to clean up Lu Zixi¡¯s mess and also hype up the scandal with Deng Anya, all to avoid implicating his own wife.
After all, everyone knows in the media circle, the best way to cover up a piece of news is to release another explosive news in its ce.
¡°So you¡¯re getting Lu Zixi out of her scandal, boosting Deng Anqi¡¯s poprity, and all it costs you is a bit of face. As a boss, making two of your female artists coexist peacefully is indeed killing two birds with one stone- both will help you make money.¡±
Each sentence from Huo Jingshen made Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s handsome face twitch. He felt as if he had developed Parkinson¡¯s disease, constantly trembling.
In the end, Huo Jingshen summarised, ¡°Also, your sister-inw already taught you a solution.¡±
He even took out his phone and said generously, ¡°To thank you for your help this time, I¡¯ll add you to the group.¡±
¡°What group?¡± Gu Huai¡¯an became alert instantly. What was this old fox up to now?
After a minute, in the WJY WeChat group showed,[Huo Jingshen invited Gu Huai¡¯an to join the group chat]
Nangong Ci: [Holy, Elder Gu, howe you¡¯re in here?]
Ming Jing: [Is Seventh Master going to do some ¡®fun stuff¡¯ as well?]
Lu Chenyu: [?]
Nangong Ci: [Just hearing that a neer has arrived, the fourth brother¡¯s cunning eyes are instantly beaming with excitement! ]
Lu Chenyu: [Roll.]
Nangong Ci: [Hahahaha.]
Gu Huai¡¯an: [¡]
Dammit, what the hell is this messy group chat?
Aside from the married man Huo Jingshen and the half-paralyzed Chu Xiuhuang, they¡¯re all single dogs that no one wants!
He, Gu Huai¡¯an, must not sink to their level!
He clenched his fist!
**
Lu Zixi did not understand how things could suddenly turn out this way.
All the criticism and nder against her on the forum and Weibo had disappeared, and all of the people¡¯s attention was focused on the scandal involving Deng Anya and her old aunt. When she looked at her own Weibo, all the water army¡¯s nders were gone as well.
It was as if everything had never happened.
At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Gu Huai¡¯an returned to thepany and immediately summoned her to the CEO¡¯s office.
**
Meanwhile, at Nancheng University.
Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi arrived at the reading room.
As soon as they walked in, they found that almost all the seats were taken, and there were no two that were adjacent to each other.
Just as Su Wanwan was about to suggest finding another ce, Mo Weiyi pulled her along, saying, ¡°Follow me.¡±
So she followed her into the room, and finally stood before Ling Zhizhou.
¡°Junior sister, there¡¯s a seat here.¡± Ling Zhizhou pointed to the empty seat next to him, then pointed to the table next door, ¡°There¡¯s another one over there.¡±
Su Wanwan naturally headed to the table next door, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll sit over there.¡±
Mo Weiyi naturally sat next to Ling Zhizhou.
Since this wasn¡¯t the first time, Su Wanwan was already used to this junior school brother always saving seats for Mo Weiyi while she, as the third wheel, hung out on the sidelines.
She got out her textbook and embarked on her revision unswervingly until her phone suddenly lighted up.
It was a WeChat message from Zhao Qianqian.
[Wanwan, that Lu Zixi who came to our school at noon, she¡¯s suddenly live streaming on Weibo, hurry up and see!]
Because of the sudden appearance of reporters and given Lu Zixi¡¯s sensitive situation at the time, it swept the school forums and became a hot topic, with students also posting and forwarding the video. Zhao Qianqian was even worried that Lu Zixi would cause trouble for Su Wanwan, so she let her know as soon as she saw the live stream.
Su Wanwan opened Weibo and clicked directly into Lu Zixi¡¯s live stream.
In the picture, Lu Zixi was facing the camera without makeup, her face pale, her eyes red and swollen, and her whole person looked haggard and dim.
She said, ¡°I entered the entertainment industry at the age of eleven just to help my father pay off his debts. My mom passed away early. My dad¡¯s health wasn¡¯t good, and he was tricked into gambling and owed several million in high- interest loans. Later, he asked me to be a surrogate mother for someone else, saying that we can pay off all the gambling debts at once. I knew surrogacy is illegal in our country, and I¡¯ve always been afraid to mention it. I¡¯m afraid that you guys will know that I¡¯ve given birth, I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll think I¡¯m a tainted woman, and I¡¯m afraid to face that ignominious past¡¡±
Lu Zixi started to cry.
The barrage of her fans was also flooding the screen.
[So, she had to help her family pay off their debt, Zixi is really pitiful! ]
[I knew Zixi must have had a hard time! ]
[To err is human, the key is to realize and correct the mistakes, and you didn¡¯t intentionally want to deceive us¡]
[Admitting this kind of thing really requires a lot of courage!]
¡°After giving birth to my child, I thought I could help my dad pay off all his debts, but the employer suddenly moved overseas. My dad couldn¡¯t get the money, so he asked me to abandon the child, but I felt that it was a living life!¡± Lu Zixi cried and said, ¡°I couldn¡¯t bear it, so I sent my child to an orphanage. Every month, I would send money to the orphanage for them to take care of him. I thought when I was capable enough, I would bring my child back. However, I did not expect that the orphanage suddenly caught fire and my child¡my child was burned alive¡¡±
Lu Zixi wept uncontrobly, with big tears rolling down her cheeks, while thements and messages on the screen were also instantly filled with heartfelt feelings.
[So tragic!]
[I¡¯m crying, what about you guys?]
[Zixi, stay strong!]
[Zixi, it¡¯s not your fault that the child is gone! ]
[I will support Zixi for ten thousand years!]
Having finally revealed the whole truth, Lu Zixi stood up and bowed repeatedly to the camera.
As she bowed, tears streamed down her face, and she was visibly overwhelmed with emotion.
Su Wanwan nced at the live viewership, which was close to thirty million.
Thements on the screen wereing in fast and furious.
The reason why the public was so outraged was that her fans felt they had been deceived.
Now that she hade forward to reveal the truth and willingly admitted her mistakes, with such sincere attitude and a tragic story¡
The majority of her fans were of the same age. Given the stark contrast in their life experiences,passion took over, and they naturally felt pity for her.
In the end, all thements were encouraging her to stand up and move on.
Su Wanwan let out a long sigh.
If only she had done this earlier, right?
Everyone¡¯s past has genuinely existed; it is impossible to cover up. Instead of living in constant fear, it¡¯s better to face it with total honesty
Start afresh with righteousness.
Because everyone has the right to repent and start anew.
Su Wanwan exited Weibo, thinking that the matter should end there and it should not have much to do with her.
However, she did not expect to receive a sudden WeChat message from Huo Jingshen in the evening, [Baby,e to the door.]
[What for?]
[Taking you out to dinner, also to meet a friend.]
[Male or female?]Su Wanwan immediately asked.
Huo Jingshen sent a built-in WeChat smiley emoticon, [Neither male nor female.]
Su Wanwan: ¡± ¡ ¡±
Su Wanwan changed into a set of clothes before going on the date.
Because she has not forgotten that every time she sees Huo Jingshen¡¯s friends, she¡¯ll get teased with lines like ¡°old bull eating young grass¡± or ¡°good bite¡±¡
Chapter 417: 417, Golden Bachelor
Chapter 417: Golden Bachelor
Thirty-year-old men aren¡¯t that old, right?
in today¡¯s society, there are plenty of forty-something single men who proudly call themselves ¡°eligible bachelors¡±.
However,pared to a twenty-year-old college student like her who hadn¡¯t even graduated yet, Huo Jingshen indeed seemed a little older¡
Moreover, every time he dressed very maturely, most of his outfits were in ck, white, and grey, and he seldomughed or joked in public. At first nce, he looked like an aplished city gentleman.
So Su Wanwan spent a long time searching through her wardrobe and finally selected a ck dress that she had bought while shopping with Huo¡¯s grandmother.
The design was simple and elegant, the fabric was stretchy, it hugged her body nicely, and thece details around the shoulders and hem made it appear mature and graceful.
She let down her long, ck curly hair, applied a bit of light makeup, and wore
the popr girly strawberry-colored lipstick.
Carrying her small bag, Su Wanwan arrived at the campus gate in such attire.
As soon as she got into the car and took off her down jacket, Huo Jingshen immediately looked over at her.
Firstly, he noticed the semi-transparentce on her shoulders. The white skin of the young girl forthwith appeared luminous. Her fluffy curls looselyy on her shoulders, highlighting her delicate and lustrous neck. Her powdered oval face looked exquisite and tender, seemingly with no pores at all.
The hint of red on her lips contrasted against the strong impact of ck and
white, serving as the finishing touch.
Su Wanwan thought, ¡°Why isn¡¯t he driving?¡±
As she turned her head, she saw him gazing at her intently¡
Following his gaze, she looked down.
What the hell!
¡°What are you looking at!¡± Su Wanwan quickly raised her hand to shield
herself.
Huo Jingshen nonchntly averted his gaze and cleared his throat, ¡°When did
you buy this dress?¡±
Howe he hadn¡¯t seen her wear it before?
Su Wanwan hummed a reply, ¡°Grandma bought it for me.
Huo Jingshen raised his brows.
He surely needed to have a talk with his grandmother about why she bought such a tight-fitting dress. Was she trying to tease him?
¡°Does it look good?¡± Su Wanwan intentionally asked him.
¡°Mmm.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice was deep and husky, as if he were whispering sweet nothings, ¡°Baby, you¡¯ re so beautiful, everything looks good on you.¡±
¡°Psh! You smooth talker!¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Seeing the girl¡¯s subtle smile, he felt a little weak in the knees. Finally, Mu
Shang started the car and they set off.
Along the way, Su Wanwan brought up Lu Zixi¡¯s matter and finally asked him, ¡°I watched the live broadcast. Her fans say they forgive her, so she probably won¡¯t have to pay the spokesperson so much money now, right?
Huo Jingshen didn¡¯tment.
The impact of Lu Zixi¡¯s live streaming was indeed immediate.
Until yesterday afternoon before the live broadcast, Lu Zixi was still an immature TV star who had a child underage andcked proper judgement.
Now she had transformed into the most tragic female artist of the year, who was forced to work for her father¡¯s debt, and gained numerous fans overnight.
And those sponsors weren¡¯t fools. The most valuable thing in the entertainment industry was poprity. In the era of fan economy, as long as she had fan support, Lu Zixi could instantly be innocent again. Now that she and Deng Anqi had be the focus of attention, why wouldn¡¯t the sponsors be happy?
As for Gu Huai¡¯an, the boss, he naturally became the biggest winner.
This party tonight was his so-called ¡°appreciation dinner .
*
*
Half an hourter, Huo Jingshen brought Su Wanwan to the mansion.
They were in the same ¡°Fire Emperor¡± private room as before, but the owner of the room was still in the hospital.
When Su Wanwan pushed open the door of the private room, she was stunned.
Even Huo Jingshen seemed slightly surprised.
Because in addition to Gu Huai¡¯an, there was surprisingly another young girl in
the room.
The handsome young man was sitting on the sofa, dressed in a dark three- piece suit, which made him look refined and chic, like an elegant nobleman from a wealthy family.
The girl was sitting on hisp, wearing the school uniform- a white blouse and red pleated skirt, with white leggings and ck boots.
When she saw someone enter, the girl¡¯s sparkling eyes were filled with
curiosity.
Thin lips parted, Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s baritone was warm and captivating, ¡°You¡¯re
here.¡±
Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan walked in and sat down. ¡°Haohao, sit on the sofa yourself.¡± Gu Huai¡¯an instructed with narrowing eyes. But the little girl called Haohao, remained sped around his neck, refusing to let go.
Her big eyes were staring at Su Wanwan; her face was pretty and innocent, yet there was an evident look of caution.
Su Wanwan smiled, ¡°Is this your daughter? She s so cute.
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an: ¡°¡¡±
Gu Haohao clearly said, ¡°Sister, I¡¯m not Brother An¡¯s daughter, I¡¯m his sister.¡±
Su Wanwan awkwardly chuckled, ¡°Sorry, I thought¡
¡°I¡¯m thirteen this year.¡± Gu Haohao added.
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan wanted to say she really didn¡¯t look like it.
The little girl in her school uniform, with her petite figure, looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl, sitting so intimately on Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯sp¡ She instinctively thought they were father and daughter.
After all, Huo Jingshen¡¯s age was evident, and his friends were not young either. It wouldn¡¯t be surprising if he had a daughter of eight or nine years old.
Turns out she¡¯s his sister?
Huo Jingshen whispered into her ear, ¡°The little sister he adopted.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡±
Looking at the little girl again, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a bit strange.
An adopted sister?
That means there¡¯s no blood rtion. If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s really okay for them to be so intimate with each other now that she¡¯s thirteen?
Gu Huai¡¯an seemed unperturbed. He settled Haohao on the couch next to him and began to exin, ¡°I thought Sister-inw was too young and wouldn¡¯t have much inmon with us, so I brought Haohao over. You two can y together.¡±
Su Wanwan was somewhat speechless, ¡°I¡¯m twenty.
Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Good on you for being thoughtful. You should indeed thank your sister-inw.¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an:¡±¡¡±
Suppressing the urge to hit someone, he slowly curled his thin lips, half-smiling, half-teasing, ¡°So, Sister-inw, have you decided on your future job?¡±
Su Wanwan let out an ¡°ah¡±.
Future job?
Isn¡¯t it a bit early to be worrying about that?
¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re studying journalism, right? That¡¯s exactly what mypany specializes in. If you¡¯re interested, you can look for me when the timees.¡± Gu Huai¡¯an said, extending a business card with his slender hand.
Su Wanwan quickly epted it with both hands and looked at the shiny, gold letters on it.
CEO of Huanyu Media Group: Gu Huai¡¯an.
Huanyu Media?
Su Wanwan immediately asked, ¡°Are you the boss of Huanyu Media?¡±
¡°What about it?¡± Gu Huai¡¯an raised an eyebrow, ¡°Apart from Lu Zixi, do you know other artists?¡±
¡°I have a friend, his name is Ye Qitian.¡±
Upon hearing this name, Huo Jingshen¡¯s brow furrowed.
The next second.
¡°He¡¯s a bit silly, a bit of an airhead, not very intelligent or sociable.¡±
Huo Jingshen:¡±¡¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an: ¡°¡¡±
¡°But he¡¯s a pretty good guy.¡± Su Wanwan grinned, ¡°He just filmed a web movie,
I forgot what it¡¯s called.¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an looked at Huo Jingshen, stretching the word, ¡°Frien¡d?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded without suspicion, Yes.
Gu Huai¡¯an raised an eyebrow, ¡°I see.¡±
Sister-inw probably wants me to take good care of him, right?
Who knew, Su Wanwan continued, ¡°I know him too well. He¡¯s impulsive, single-minded, can¡¯t handle interpersonal rtionships, and is absolutely not suitable for the entertainment industry. He¡¯ll get the short end of the stick. His family is very rich, and I¡¯m guessing his parents wouldn¡¯t want him mingling in this circle. Sooner orter, he¡¯ll have to go back and take over thepany. So, could you find a way to fire him on the sly, and send him back to Los Angeles?¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an: ¡°¡¡±
So tant about getting someone fired in front of their boss?
Huo Jingshen, however, looked amused, ¡°Your sister-inw has a point. You know what to do, right?¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an again: ¡°¡¡±
So what if she¡¯ s two years older?
Having friends like these really lowered his standing¡
The private room door was suddenly knocked twice, and a waiter came in, ¡°Mr. Gu, may we serve the dishes now?¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an gathered his emotions and nodded in agreement.
A few waiters pushed in food carts, and soon, the dining table wasden with a dazzling array of dishes.
The lighting in the private room was also turned up a bit, and Huo Jingshen and Gu Huai¡¯an ate while chatting, covering typical men¡¯s topics like the stock market, bank interest rates, national policies, city nning¡
She didn¡¯t understand any of it.
Halfway through her meal, Su Wanwan suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged twice.
Chapter 418: 418, Seventh Master Gu
Chapter 418: Seventh Master Gu
Looking down, Gu Haohao was standing by the table, looking up with a little face, smiling so her eyes curved. ¡°Sister, I want to go to the restroom. Can you go with me?¡±
The little girl was sweet and pretty, her voice also soft and sweet, which instantly warmed Su Wanwan¡¯s heart.
¡°Sure.¡± She got up, took the little girl¡¯s hand, and they left the box to go to thedies¡¯ restroom.
Just as she pushed the door open, a strange noise reached her ears before she could even speak.
Su Wanwan felt like her brain was exploding. She immediately turned around, pulled the little girl out, and closed the door.
Dear God!
This is way too explicit, isn¡¯t it?
They were simply shameless!
Doing it tantly in the restroom?
One thing¡¯s to do it, but why aren¡¯t they discreet?
Making so much noise, were they afraid people wouldn¡¯t hear?
¡°What was thatdy doing just now?¡± As expected, Haohao started asking questions.
Su Wanwan was experiencing such a strange situation for the first time.
Her face flushing with embarrassment, she struggled to exin. ¡°Well, it¡¯s nothing, thatdy¡she must be dealing with something. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡±
¡°Was she being bullied by a bad guy?¡± Haohao asked, tilting her little head, looking concerned.
¡°Er¡¡± Su Wanwan felt a headacheing on.
Haohao was only thirteen this year, an age quite¡ awkward. Half-knowing, half- not. This wasn¡¯t something you could ze over with a boy, let alone a girl-
just as she was fretting over this, Haohao¡¯s hand slipped from hers.
¡°I¡¯m going to tell Brother An!¡± With that, the little girl turned and began running back.
¡°Haohao!¡± Su Wanwan hurried to catchup, but as she rounded the corner, a figure abruptly appeared from the other end of the corridor.
¡°Wanwan.¡±
Su Wanwan stopped, ¡°Bai Ruwei? What are you doing here?¡±
Bai Ruwei, in a white dress and delicate makeup, had her cellphone in one hand. With the other, she tookSu Wanwan¡¯s wrist. ¡°Wanwan, don¡¯t go.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Bai Ruwei nced nervously at the restroom. ¡°Just don¡¯t go, okay?¡±
Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°Do you know them?¡±
Bai Ruwei didn¡¯t deny it and nodded. ¡°Yes, so can you do me a favor, please?¡±
Her grip tightened as if she feared Su Wanwan would leave.
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t understand yet. ¡°What do you mean? How can I help you?¡± ¡°The people inside are Xia Jiani.¡± Bai Ruwei lowered her voice and whispered, ¡°She and that Mister Zhou have been in there a while, but nobody dares to disturb them. I¡¯ve been waiting here, waiting to take photos of them and send them to reporters.¡±
But it seemed that there was no need now because the little girl had undoubtedly run off to call for help.
The people who were with Su Wanwan were either Huo Jingshen or his friends, all of them esteemed figures of affluence in Nancheng.
In this way, she wouldn¡¯t have to lift a finger to have things blown out of proportion.
She had been looking for an opportunity like this evening, and she slipped something into their drinks when their box was crowded with people¡
Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed from the corridor.
Su Wanwan turned to see Gu Huai¡¯an approach.
If, a moment earlier in the room, he seemed like a gentle and harmless noble, now he looked like apletely different person.
His features tight, he looked serious and intimidating, a noticeable frost lining his eyes.
Servers trailed behind him, followed by the security guards of the manor, an overbearing sight.
But at this moment, Bai Ruwei suddenly let go and bolted.
GuHuai¡¯an¡¯smand sounded, ¡°Kick the door down, get them out!¡±
No sooner had his words fallen than the guards charged in.
Immediately, a series of door-banging sounds came from the restroom apanied by a man¡¯s roars and a woman¡¯s shrill screams.
¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±
¡°Shit!¡±
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°Let go!¡±
¡°Let me go!¡±
¡°Bastard, don¡¯t touch me!¡±
¡°Ah ah ah ah ah¡¡±
Both the man and the woman were dragged out.
Since the door was abruptly kicked down, both of them were flustered and disoriented.
The man was slightly better off.
Xia Jiani was in a much worse state. She could only desperately cover herself and keep her head down, terrified of being recognized.
Elsewhere, Bai Ruwei stormed into the VIP room, ¡°Bad news, bad news, something terrible has happened.¡±
In the room, Lin Yu put down her wine ss, looking impatient, ¡°What are you shouting for, you country bumpkin? Can¡¯t you see we¡¯re drinking?¡±
It was some rich guy¡¯s birthday today, who had reserved a VIP room.
Bai Ruwei knew that Xia Jiani wasing to hang out, and she had called Lin Yu relentlessly asking to join the festivities.
Lin Yu wasn¡¯t excited about bringing her along.
Yet she had underestimated Bai Ruwei¡¯s thick skin. Bai Ruwei kept calling her and begging her, iming she just wanted to see the world.
Since they came from the same school, Lin Yu thought, let here and see the gap between them. Maybe then she¡¯d stop shamelessly trying to fit in. But Bai Ruwei ran out of the room after their first drink and now sped in with a scream.
¡°Xia Jiani was caught fooling around with Mr. Zhou in the restroom!¡±
Lin Yu froze instantly as Bai Ruwei¡¯s words settled in, and the men and women in the box looked equally astonished.
The next second, everyone rushed out of the room.
No one does not like a good spectacle, especially involving the scandalous disasters of acquaintances.
The restroom entrance was crowded in no time.
Everyone knew people liked to fool around in clubs, but whenever something like this happened, most people just turned a blind eye. This was the first time someone had been caught red-handed.
Everyone was excited, brandishing their phones, taking photos or recording videos, and some even went live to increase their views.
Xia Jiani¡¯s face flushed crimson. ¡°Don¡¯t film, no filming!¡±
The man, realizing how bad the situation was, tried to escape. Still, he was detained by the bodyguards.
Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°Who allowed you to disgrace yourselves in the restroom, dirtying the ears of my Gu family members.¡±
The man looked at him, ¡°Who the hell are you? She¡¯s my girlfriend, and we can do whatever we want in private ¨C what¡¯s that got to do with you?¡±
Damn, it was not the first time they had done this sort of thing in the bathroom. Why were they so unlucky this time to be caught red-handed¡
Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s eyes were icy and resolute as hemanded, ¡°Take this pair of lovers to the police station.¡±
Upon hearing about going to the police station, Xia Jiani panicked, disregarding her dignity, she shrieked, ¡°Do you know who I am? If you dare touch me, my dad will not let you go!¡±
¡°Your dad?¡± Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s tone was indifferent, not even a flutter of his eyshes.
¡°My dad is Xia Chengli!¡±
Upon hearing this name, Gu Huai¡¯an squinted his eyes, ¡°Even your dad has to address me as Uncle Seven, as for you, what should you call me?¡±
Xia Jiani was frightened, her face turned from red to white, ¡°You¡ you are¡¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an didn¡¯t want to waste any more time, he turned around, ¡°Take them to the police station.¡±
The bodyguards stepped forward, each grabbing a person and led them away.
Su Wanwan had been standing among the onlookers, preparing to leave, when a familiar male hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Turning around, she saw Huo Jingshen looking at her with his head lowered, ¡°Are you not leaving? Can¡¯t get enough of the show?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
**
Back in the private room, Gu Haohao was eating dessert. Gu Huai¡¯an sat next to her, but his mood was clearly affected.
After finishing his dessert, Gu Huai¡¯an got up to leave.
Gu Haohao waved her little hand, ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll y with you again next time.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡± Su Wanwan was a little embarrassed.
As for Huo Jingshen, he didn¡¯t ask anything. He just checked the time and drove Su Wanwan back to school right away.
The night passed without a word.
When Su Wanwan woke up the next day, she received a WeChat message from Bai Ruwei, just a few short phrases.
[Wanwan, thank you.]
When she opened up Weibo, indeed, news of Xia Jiani¡¯s scandal had broken out.
Just as Bai Ruwei had said, the Xiao family had enjoyed a good reputation for generations. Her father was currently the head of Nancheng¡¯s firstndbat team. The sudden exposure of his daughter¡¯s scandal was indeed a devastating blow.
Especially the man involved was also a well-known rich young man in Nancheng. After the two were taken to the police station, a certain drugponent was even detected in Xia Jiani¡¯s stomach.
The incident stirred up quite a stir on the inte.
Netizens even joked that it¡¯s been one big show after another towards the end of the year, and that they didn¡¯t need to watch any New Year movie anymore.
Mo Group.
Xiao Yebai watched this piece of scandalous news on his screen, his expression indifferent. His ck eyes behind the lenses were like a deep ink sea ¨C thick, profound and endless.
¡°Knock Knock Knock¡±, the door was knocked a few times.
¡°Mr. Xiao, here is the list of attendees for the anniversary celebration, including all branches. The list is all here.¡± Zhong Kai ced down the document, waiting for review.
Taking a nce at the list, Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°The marketing manager of the Haicheng branch?¡±
Caught off guard, Zhong Kai hastily said, ¡°Do you mean Zhang Dechang, sir? Due to poor performance a while ago, he¡¯s been transferred to the operations department.¡±
¡°Add him to the list.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Although puzzled, Zhong Kai noted it down immediately, ¡°Is there anything else, Mr. Xiao?¡±
Xiao Yebai said, ¡°That¡¯s all.¡±
¡°Alright, Mr. Xiao, I will arrange it now.¡±
**
At seven in the evening, Xiao Yebai drove back to the Mo Family¡¯s old house.
Today was old Mr. Mo¡¯s birthday. Because of his frail health, and his body couldn¡¯t stand the abrupt cold weather, he didn¡¯t want to go out for a grand celebration anymore in recent years.
They nned to only have a simple family dinner tonight.
When Xiao Yebai stepped into the hall, he noticed a few people already sitting in the living room. Besides the Mo family and mother and daughter of the Xu family, there was one additional guest.
Seeing Xiao Yebai, Xu Rui, who had been sitting next to Qu Yunyao, immediately stood up and greeted very respectfully, ¡°Mr. Xiao.¡±
Xiao Yebai nodded indifferently, ¡°Director Xu.¡±
¡°Yebai is back. Butler Shi, get the food ready.¡± Mo Yaoxiong got up, ¡°Aunt Zhou, go callYiyi.¡±
Aunt Zhou wiped her hands, ¡°Okay¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Xiao Yebai said.
After hearing that, Mo Yaoxiong naturally nodded satisfactorily, ¡°She said she was tired and wanted to sleep when she came back this afternoon. It¡¯s already a few hours into her nap now. You¡¯d better check on her. If she¡¯s not feeling well, take her to the hospital.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Suddenly Xu Jing blurted out, ¡°Could Yiyi be pregnant?¡±
Qu Yunyao was taken aback.
Is Mo Weiyi pregnant?
¡°She probably isn¡¯t.¡± Xiao Yebai said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m going to check on her first.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
**
Southern Mansion, second floor bedroom.
Mo Weiyi was just trying to avoid talking and wasting time with those people, so she lied to Mo Yaoxiong about feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep. She had not expected to feel drowsy after lying on the couch and reading her English textbook for a while¡
So when Xiao Yebai pushed open the door, he saw her sleeping soundly, leaning back on the couch, with an open English textbook in her hands.
He walked over to the couch and reached out his thin and fair fingers to pick up her English textbook.
Just as he was about to pull out the book¡
¡°¡¡± Mo Weiyi held that textbook tightly, ¡°No¡¡±
Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, he forcefully pulled the book out.
Mo Weiyi frowned slightly, but very soon, she fell asleep again.
His thin lips curved up slightly, so slightly that it appeared almost nonexistent.
Xiao Yebai stood there, flipping over the textbook.
The pages were filled with dense annotations made with a ck pen. However, he wore a frown after reading only two lines.
It was written by a man.
Next to each English word, there was an annotation in Chinese pinyin.
It was the slowest way to learn English.
But there was no doubt, a lot of effort had been put into it.
Xiao Yebai turned two pages and then closed the textbook. His attractive ck eyes under the lenses slowly moved back to the woman on the couch.
Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai
Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai
His gaze lingered unabashedly on her features. A few secondster, he suddenly let go.
With a ¡®ck¡¯.
The heavy English textbook fell onto the floor, emitting a loud noise.
On the couch, Mo Weiyi gave a start. Then, she opened her eyes.
Her little face, flush from sleep, showed signs of momentary bewilderment and confusion.
The next second, her catlike eyes blinked twice, her eyebrows arched and her mouth formed into a sweet smile, ¡°Xiaobai.¡±
She stood straight up from the sofa and raised her hands to wrap around the man¡¯s neck, coquettishly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up when you returned?¡±
The man stood there unmoved, his voice chill, ¡°Dad said you¡¯re unwell. He asked me to check on you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Mo Weiyi looked at the man¡¯s handsome jawline and pouted, ¡°I was nning to memorize a few words but fell asleep. English is too hard¡¡±
¡°In that case, stop reading.¡±
¡°How could I? Exams are less than a month away.¡± Mo Weiyi suddenly noticed the English textbook on the floor, ¡°How did my book fall on the floor?¡±
She bent down, intending to reach for the book, when she felt a sudden tightness around her waist and was then swept off her feet.
Mo Weiyi, startled, quickly clung onto Xiao Yebai¡¯s neck, ¡°Xiaobai? Are you¡?¡±
*

At the dining room.
The rectangr dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, was loaded with mouthwatering dishes. The decanter, filled with red liquid, sparkled in the light of the Italian crystalmp. The scent of the food blended with the aroma of wine in the air, making one¡¯s mouth water.
By now, Qu Yunyao was getting extremely hungry.
Ever since the news of her pregnancy had been revealed, she had stopped controlling her appetite, which had subsequently increased, especially now that it was past seven in the evening¡
Xiao Yebai had left to call Mo Weiyi about half an hour ago, and they had been sitting and waiting for nearly the same amount of time.
Qu Yunyao sped her hands together, ncing at the head seat.
The old man of the Mo family was closing his eyes in rest.
As for the other three, they were engaged in casual conversation.
After nearly another ten minutes, Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, ¡°Aunt Zhou, can you go check on Yebai and Weiyi? Why are they keeping our guests waiting for so long?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡±
¡°No worries.¡± Xu Rui hastily said, ¡°We can wait, Yebai may be upied with important matters.¡±
Nheless, Mo Yaoxiong still insisted, ¡°Hurry them up.¡±
Aunt Zhou nodded and hurriedly went to call them.
Meanwhile, Mo Yaoxiong began to inquire, ¡°You mentioned earlier that the wedding date is set for next year? Isn¡¯t that toote?¡±
Xu Rui and Qu Yunyao exchanged a look, hastily smiling and saying, ¡°Yunyao and I have discussed this. We¡¯ll get the wedding license first; the ceremony can happenter. After all, one only gets married once. My parents don¡¯t want to rush it either, so they won¡¯t make Yunyao ufortable. Otherwise, Yunyao would me me in the future.¡±
Xu Jing piped in, ¡°How could she? Given the current situation, I think¡¡±
¡°Mom.¡± Qu Yunyao cut her off, ¡°I don¡¯t want to rush into a wedding. I¡¯ve talked to my inws and we¡¯ve agreed to have the baby first. We¡¯ll consider the wedding on Valentine¡¯s Day next year.¡±
Xu Jing was unhappy.
A hasty wedding is better than parading around with a swollen belly, right?
They¡¯re currently staying at the Mo¡¯s as guests. Each day, her daughter walks about the courtyard with her big belly. It¡¯s improper, and how would it look to the servants and outsiders?
¡°I don¡¯t want to rush the wedding. This has been agreed upon by me, Xu Rui, and my inws.¡± Qu Yunyao reiterated.
Xu Rui agreed with a smile, ¡°Yes, I respect Yunyao¡¯s wishes too.¡±
After those words, in front of the father and son of the Mo family, Xu Jing couldn¡¯t say anything more.
Although, she still felt ufortable inside.
She took a deep breath, ¡°Then, arrange for me and your parents to meet sometime.¡±
Xu Rui blinked, ¡°Well¡¡±
Under the table, Qu Yunyao gave a hard twist to his thigh.
Caught by a sudden pain, Xu Rui hurriedly said, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m sorry. My parents are not in the country recently. After they return, I¡¯ll arrange the meeting immediately.¡±
Hearing this, Xu Jing felt even more ufortable, and her face reflected her discontent.
Chapter 420: 420, Mo Family Anniversary Celebration
Chapter 420: Mo Family Anniversary Celebration
Aunt Zhou arrived at the Southern Mansion, found no one on the first floor, and began to head towards the second floor.
The bedroom door was ajar, it hadn¡¯t been properly closed.
She walked up to it, bowed her head, and knocked lightly, ¡°Young Master Xiao, Princess, the Master called you for dinner.¡±
No one responded.
As Aunt Zhou was about to knock again, she suddenly heard a woman let out a gasp from inside.
A moment of surprise passed, then she instantly understood what was happening.
Respecting the privacy of others is important.
She turned to leave, but then¡
¡°Aunt Zhou, having been working in the Mo family for so many years, she knows what you¡¯re doing.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°Let them wait a bit longer.¡±
The man¡¯s voice was low and husky, filled with a touch of rare mirth.
The woman¡¯s tone was soft and flirtatious¡
Both were distinctly audible through the substantial gap in the door.
Aunt Zhou¡¯s face flushed deeply, and she quickly left the ce, descending the stairs.
She knew the young couple was passionate about each other, but she never expected this at dinner time.
Always schrly and calm, who would have thought that Young Master Xiao, in private, was so clingy?
May Buddha have mercy.
Such is life.
After getting some fresh air outside, Aunt Zhou went back to the dining room, only to face Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s questioning, ¡°Where are Yiyi and Yebai?¡±
Her face reddened in embarrassment again. She lowered her head and replied, ¡°Young Master Xiao said to wait a little longer. They should be ready soon.¡± That¡¯s exactly what Young Master Xiao had said.
After another ten minutes, Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi finally came downstairs.
They were both still wearing the same clothes. Xiao Yebai maintained his usual expressionless face, while Mo Weiyi had a subtle blush on her cheeks.
The old Master Mo didn¡¯t say anything, and Mo Yaoxiong didn¡¯t mind.
Dinner started.
In the midst of the dinner, Qu Yunyao raised her head casually, and was suddenly struck dumb.
Because she had clearly spotted a mark on Xiao Yebai¡¯s neck¡
His skin was fair, the red mark sat ringly at his neck, impossible to ignore.
He was sitting directly opposite her, holding a wine ss. Every time he drank, it was all too noticeable.
If it were in the past, she would have thought of Xiao Yebai as a calm, collected, elegant gentleman like any other woman.
But after observing him carefully on several asions, she increasingly felt that this man¡¯s private persona was vastly different from his public image.
More than once she had seen marks all over Mo Weiyi¡¯s neck, corbones¡
This time, he had even left a mark on his own neck.
Just how wild must their private life be for Mo Weiyi to give as good as she gets?
¡°Yunyao, Yunyao?¡± Xu Jing fiercely nudged Qu Yunyao¡¯s arm.
Xiao Yebai, who was seated opposite, lifted his gaze and met her eyes.
Stared upon by his deep, cold eyes, Qu Yunyao finally snapped back to her senses.
¡°What are you daydreaming about? Your uncle is asking you something.¡±
Qu Yunyao quickly turned her gaze towards Mo Yaoxiong, ¡°Uncle.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°Last time we both mentioned it, next weekend, both you and Xu Rui shoulde to Mo Group¡¯s annual celebration at Huashang.¡±
Qu Yunyao quickly extended her gratitude with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Uncle.¡±
Xu Rui also profusely thanked, ¡°Thank you Chairman Mo, thank you, President Xiao.¡±
Mo Yaoxiongughed, ¡°Soon, both of you will be legally married, making you family. You need not be so formal.¡±
Thrilled and overwhelmed with joy, Xu Rui stood up with his wine ss, ¡°Chairman Mo, President Xiao, this toast is to you.¡±
They were drinking red wine. Xiao Yebai raised his ss and met Xu Rui, slowly savoring his drink.
This forting weekend marked the 50th anniversary of the Mo Group. This year was different from the past. The entire event was delegated to a professional event managementpany. Not only had invitations been sent to local aristocrats and business partners in Nancheng and well-known political figures, but they had also hired top-tier hosts from national media, popr stars, idol artists for guest performances. They had even bought live broadcast rights from several TV stations and inte tforms.
Such an unprecedented grand function would be an ideal asion to aplish some tasks.
Qu Yunyao sipped her tea and smiled gently, ncing at the man drinking across from her. A swift hint of malice and satisfaction shed in her eyes.
**
It was the old man¡¯s birthday, everyone had naturally prepared presents to offer congrattions on his long life.
The gifts from Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi were a set of tea sets, bearing the pattern of ¡°Along the River During the Qingming Festival.¡± It was delivered the day before and the old man had already begun using it, showing his adoration of the gift.
Deliberate in their selection, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui handpicked a set of writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and ink bs as they knew the old man enjoyed the refined art of academia and would often hide in the study to practice calligraphy when he had spare time.
Others, in turn, presented their gifts.
Until it was Xu Jing¡¯s turn.
¡°Sir, I heard from your doctor that you¡¯ve been having problems with your legs. Given the cold weather and the damp, cold climate of Nancheng, I personally knitted these kneepads for you. Though they might not look appealing, they are genuinely warm. My skills are rudimentary, so I made them based on designs online, I hope you won¡¯t reject them.¡±
The old Sir Mo didn¡¯t expect such a considerate gesture from her.
In this day and age, the ability to make things by hand is precious, especially considering Xu Jing¡¯s arm had only recently healed.
Mo Yaoxiong also spoke up, ¡°You really shouldn¡¯t have gone through so much trouble, it would¡¯ve sufficed to have a servant make it.¡±
¡°I just feel that Yunyao and I have been living here for almost half a year now, and I feel guilty for imposing on you all.¡± Xu Jing¡¯s statement took a sudden turn, ¡°I n on hunting for a ce outside starting tomorrow, to move out as soon as possible with Yunyao.¡±
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Because it was too sudden.
But Xu Jing had already decided in her heart.
Having been here for so long, living off the Mo family, she felt insecure.
On one hand, she always felt it unjust for a widowed mother and daughter to live here ¨C and especially after Qu Yunyao got pregnant, there were a few times when she overheard the servants gossiping in hushed tones.
Their chatter was mostly focused on how the older woman was divorced and unwanted by any men, while the younger one was unwed with a child whose father is unknown, hence the saying, ¡°a crooked beam holds up a crooked house¡±.
Xu Jing was a woman with strong self-esteem. She wasn¡¯tfortable hearing these remarks but she had no position to scold the servants.
On the other hand, Qu Yunyao was already three months pregnant. She originally nned to move out once her daughter married into the Xiu Family, but she didn¡¯t anticipate that the wedding would be dyed until next year, after the birth of the baby.
Given the circumstances, was she expected to witness Qu Yunyao, with her growing belly, aimlessly living here for the next few months?
Her daughter was naive, but as a mother, she couldn¡¯t stand being ridiculed by the servants behind their backs.
¡°Auntie.¡± Mo Weiyi was the first to speak up, ¡°Are you nning to move out? What about Yunyao¡¡±
She looked at Qu Yunyao, her face had lost all its color.
¡°Mom, if we move out, where will we stay?¡±
¡°Nancheng is big, surely there would be a ce for us to stay. Don¡¯t worry, I receive sry every month. We can find a good ce. You can move in with Xu Rui, and I¡¯ll live alone.¡±
Xu Rui¡¯s face changed instantly.
Move in with him?
Qu Yunyao quickly interjected, ¡°Xu Rui is very busy with work every day, how could he possibly have time to look after me?¡±
Mo Weiyi took a look around at everyone and couldn¡¯t help butment internally. One moment she gives such a thoughtful gift and the next, she announces her will to move out, this surely cannot be a coincidence.
Sure enough, the old master who usually kept out of family matters spoke up, ¡°The northern vi is vacant, there are no outsiders in the house, you can live there peacefully without overthinking.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong also chimed in, ¡°Since dad has already said so, Xu Jing, you and Yunyao should settle down here with ease. She is pregnant and Xu Rui is very busy, who has spare time to take care of her? At least here, she¡¯s cared for.¡±
Qu Yunyao hurriedly said, ¡°That¡¯s right, mom, why the rush? Can¡¯t we wait until I¡¯ve given birth?¡±
¡°You¡¯re showing more and more, if we continue like this, people will gossip¡¡± Xu Jing wanted to continue but stopped herself.
Mo Yaoxiong immediately asked, ¡°Has a servant been talking indiscriminately?¡±
The faces of a few servants on standby suddenly flushed with tension.
¡°That¡¯s absurd!¡± Mo Yaoxiong mmed the chopsticks onto the table, ¡°You are Xu Xian¡¯s sister, Yiyi¡¯s aunt. This house is empty anyway. If someone is gossiping, tell me, and I¡¯ll have them dismissed immediately!¡±
The old Sir Mo was displeased, ¡°Rece the servants in the northern wing immediately.¡±
¡°Sir, that¡¯s not what I¡¡± Xu Jing protested nervously.
Yet, the old man had already stood up, ¡°Yiyi,e with me.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Mo Weiyi nced at Xiao Yebai and followed the old man out.
**
¡°Yiyi.¡± Inside the bedroom, Sir Mo looked warmly at his beautiful granddaughter, ¡°How have you been feelingtely? Is there anything ufortable?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Really? Nothing at all?¡±
Mo Weiyi shook her head.
Sir Mo¡¯s face fell with disappointment.
Soon, he asked again, ¡°I heard from Auntie Zhou that you¡¯ve been studying exhaustively every day, waking up early and returningte, sometimes even skipping breakfast. Tell me honestly, has that boy Yebai put some aphrodisiac spell on you again?¡±
Chapter 421: 421, English Textbook
Chapter 421: English Textbook
¡°No, not at all.¡± Mo Weiyi walked over to the couch and sat down. Putting her arm around her grandfather¡¯s, she gazed up at him with a youthful innocence. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you happy that your granddaughter finally wants to seriously study?¡±
The old man chuckled, ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy, Yiyi, I¡¯m happy.¡±
He didn¡¯t have any other requests for his only granddaughter other than her safety, health, and happiness. All he ever wanted was for her to have a man who loved her deeply, but this Xiao Yebai¡
He decided to be upfront, ¡°Yiyi, your grandpa wants to hold a great-grandchild.¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, ck and white eyes, and said with some embarrassment, ¡°But Grandpa, I am now¡¡±
Her grandfather immediately responded, ¡°So, you should discuss with Yebai and try to have a baby as soon as possible, okay?¡±
For a man, a child could sometimes be the strongest tie holding a family together.
Just like Mo Yaoxiong back in the days. He used to be a wild one, even close to divorce once. However, because Xu Xian suddenly got pregnant and gave birth to their adorable daughter Mo Weiyi, he returned to his family to fulfil his responsibilities.
¡°I do want to get pregnant.¡± Mo Weiyi sighed.
She really was trying hard to learn English, but¡
Disheartening herself every time.
She barely touched her first and second year courses, resulting in her having a terrible foundation in English. With less than a month left for the exam, the mere thought made her feel doomed.
¡°Is Yebai refusing?¡±
Not waiting for Mo Weiyi to answer, the old man snorted, ¡°That mischievous
boy, I knew it, he can¡¯t have good intentions.¡±
¡°Grandpa, what are you imagining?¡± Mo Weiyi wrinkled her perfect brow and looked at him speechless. ¡°Xiaobai thinks I¡¯m still young and still studying. He wants to wait until I graduate before we consider having children.¡± He better mean what he says.¡± The old man replied and coughed a few times. ¡°Grandpa, why are you coughing again?¡± Mo Weiyi wrinkled her face in concern, patting his back in a soothing rhythm.
¡°Sigh.¡± The grandfather sighed, ¡°Forget about studies. But my health isn¡¯t good now, and I hope you can have a baby soon. So, in case I one day¡¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Mo Weiyi cut him off right away. ¡°You¡¯re in such good shape, what do you mean by ¡®leave¡¯? You¡¯ll definitely live a long life!¡± Hearing his granddaughter¡¯s remarks, he couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Silly girl.¡± No one can literally live a century.
He was almost eighty-five, and his physical condition made it obvious. As he got older, he had to ept his fate. Every winter, he felt on the brink of death. Especially during the recent rain in Nancheng, the damp atmosphere made his joint ache unbearably¡
When he was young, he had too many enemies and had too much blood on his hands. To have lived to such an age, he was already more than satisfied.
If there was anything he couldn¡¯t let go, it was his granddaughter, Mo Weiyi. He was afraid that the sins hemitted when he was young would catch up to her.
So since his retirement, he had been devoutly religious, making donations to charities every year, and the Mo family even set up their own charity foundation. From the day Mo Weiyi was born, he employed a group of strong bodyguards for her. The one assigned to Mo Weiyi, Rong An, was the best and most capable of them.
Fortunately, over the years, apart from being kidnapped once when she was three, and the recent issue with Song Quan, Mo Weiyi had been safe and sound. Because of this, though, Mo Weiyi developed a naive, simple, and enthusiastic character.
The most obvious example was her love at first sight for Xiao Yebai. She had remained steadfast for a decade, but that Xiao Yebai¡
He had lived for more than eighty years. He was a man who tasted love as well.
He knew that if a man truly cared for a woman, his eyes wouldn¡¯t look like that. This was why he had always been suspicious and critical of Xiao Yebai all these years.
The old man sighed deeply.

When Mo Weiyi returned to the living room, everyone had left.
She went directly to the Southern Mansion and, sure enough, in the bedroom,
Xiao Yebai had already packed her bag.
Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t think much about it. She left the vi with him and got into the car to go home.
When they arrived at Lishui Bay, after taking a shower, Mo Weiyi saw that there was still some time. She wanted to find her English textbook to continue reviewing, but then she realized¡
¡°Xiaobai, did you lose my English textbook?¡±
Xiao Yebai came out of the bathroom, dressed in a clean and elegant home outfit, ¡°What English textbook?¡±
¡°The one that was on the floor. That¡¯s not mine, it¡¯s Ling Zhizhou¡¯s. I specifically had him annotate it for me¡¡±
So it was indeed a man¡¯s book.
Xiao Yebai spoke indifferently, ¡°You dropped it on the ground.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
She blinked her clear eyes, ¡°So you didn¡¯t pick it up for me?¡±
When she woke up, the book was on the floor, she wanted to pick it up, but then Xiaobai suddenly¡
Whimper, men are so misleading!
Mo Weiyi really took her hat off to her piggy brain!
She quickly found her phone, ¡°I¡¯ll call Uncle Shi and ask him to send it over for
- I still have to review with Ling Zhizhou tomorrow.¡¯1
Reviewing together?
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes and sat down on the sofa, picking up the tablet. The call connected quickly, Mo Weiyi finished her instruction, then she also came to sit down beside the sofa with her bag.
Staring at the calm and serious profile of the man, she leaned in with a pleasing face, and said carefully, ¡°Xiaobai, Mr. Chen is noting tonight, there are a few problems I can¡¯t solve, can you exin them to me?¡±
Xiao Yebai looked up, his eyes lingering on her through his spectacles. ¡°Who me?¡±
Yes, you¡¯re so smart, the third-year courses will definitely not trouble you.¡± When it came to English, Mo Weiyi had full trust in her brainy husband. After all, he studied at the American Institute for five years and could speak sevennguages. English was a piece of cake for him, right?
She took out the assignment that Chen Jin had set for her the day before from her bag, and then pushed it towards him somewhat timidly. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to do these problems.¡±
Xiao Yebai took the paper with his slender hands and looked at the handwriting
¡°Did you write all of these?¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately leaned in.
A soft voice rang in his ear, ¡°These were written by Mr. Chen, and the fill-ins were done by me.¡±
And yet all of them were¡
Marked with red crosses!
Xiao Yebai cornered his lips and said indifferently, ¡°I was just about to praise you, your problem-solving isn¡¯t good, but at least your handwriting is decent.¡± In other words, there¡¯s nothing left to praise now.
Mo Weiyi bit her lip and looked at him pitifully, ¡°¡¡±
Just as she was considering whether she should bite him, Xiao Yebai¡¯s deep and pleasant voice rang again, ¡°For this question, the meaning of this letter is¡¡± Mo Weiyi immediately listened carefully.
After Xiao Yebai exined it all once, she nodded, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±
He really is a study god. He exined it once, it was simple and easy to understand, and she got it.
Next, Xiao Yebai began to exin the second problem.
Mo Weiyi nodded repeatedly as she listened.
After he finished exining the remaining problems, Mo Weiyi pped her hands, admiring him, ¡°Wow, why do I understand instantly when you exin the problem, Xiaobai?¡±
Is it because opposites attract?
Xiao Yebai put the textbook down with a poker face, ¡°Alright, I need to check my reports now.¡±
However, Mo Weiyi pulled out her own English textbook again and went over to
him, ¡°Xiaobai, could you exin this one to me again?¡±
Xiao Yebai moved his gaze from the tablet to her beaming little face, pursed his lips, his eyes were cold.
Obviously, he felt disturbed.
¡°Ohe on, Xiaobai, just help me out. I get it instantly when you exin, honest! Nice Xiaobai, you¡¯re the best.¡±
Mo Weiyi kept coaxing him. Seeing that Xiao Yebai remained unmoved, she boldly moved closer.
Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly, he finally raised his hand, took the practice problems from her and threw them to the side.
But her phone suddenly rang.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s heart pounded fiercely, but the man left very quickly.
Apanying this was his deep, subdued voice, ¡°Answer the phone.¡±
Chapter 422: 422, the waste has been thrown away
Chapter 422: the waste has been thrown away
¡°¡Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s cheeks were flushed, he took a few breaths before reaching out for the mobile phone on the tea table, ¡°Shi Bo.
¡°What? You can¡¯t find it? How is it not there?¡± Mo Weiyi instantly furrowed his brows, ¡°It fell on the floor near the sofa, search the area.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai with a troubled expression, ¡°It¡¯s over, Xiaobai, I lost Ling Zhizhou¡¯s textbook.
Xiao Yebai had already regained his usual calm and indifference, ¡°Maybe it was too damaged, and the maid thought it was waste and threw it away.¡±
¡°¡Waste?¡± Mo Weiyi frowned, ¡°But that¡¯s the textbook Ling Zhizhou lent to
me, it¡¯s his freshman textbook.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, ¡°He lent you his freshman textbook?¡±
¡°Yes! Someone kindly lent me their textbook and I lost it.¡±
Behind his sses, his deep ck eyes moved slightly, then Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice
rang out, ¡°Since it¡¯s like this, he should forgive you.¡±
Mo Weiyi was thrown into chaos.
This wasn¡¯t a matter of forgiveness, okay!
Before she could think about it more, Xiao Yebai stood up directly, ¡°It¡¯s getting
Mo Weiyi:¡±¡¡±
**
The following morning, there were no sses at the school.
Mo Weiyi had Uncle Liu drive him back to the old house.
As a result, after searching the bedroom of the Southern Mansion, he couldn¡¯t find the English textbook.
Mo Weiyi found it utterly inconceivable, the textbook was so thick and it wasn¡¯t that tattered, how could it have been lost?
He hastily called the maid who was cleaning the room.
¡°Auntie Yang, have you seen my English textbook?
¡°I didn¡¯t see it.¡±
¡°I clearly left it on the floor, you didn¡¯t really see it? Did you throw it away without thinking?¡±
¡°Princess, I really didn¡¯t see any English textbook.¡±
Mo Weiyi:
This was truly strange.
**
The vi next door.
Qu Yunyao had just woken up ande downstairs when Xu Jing was already preparing to leave.
Seeing her daughter, she said, ¡°Yunya, I¡¯ve found a house.¡±
¡°Ahouse?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Xu Jing took out her mobile phone, opened a photo, ¡°This one. I¡¯ve been looking at houses these past few days, I just finalized it with the agency of this property, now I¡¯m going to sign the contract with them. The house isn¡¯t big, but it¡¯s a two-bedroom apartment, it¡¯s enough for us to live in, and it¡¯s quite close to Xu Rui¡¯s studio, I¡¯ll hire a maidter¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not moving!¡± Qu Yunyao suddenly interrupted her, ¡°Mom, are you out of
your mind?¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
Qu Yunyao looked at Xu Jing speechlessly, ¡°We¡¯re living sofortably here, we have food, we have a ce to stay, we have maids to wait on us, and we even have drivers to transport us. Why should we move? I can¡¯t work now that I¡¯m pregnant, how much do you earn a month? After the divorce, you left without a penny, you didn¡¯t even have alimony. What are you going to use to pay the rent? Can you afford the rent?¡±
Xu Jing¡¯s face turned ugly.
¡°In any case, I¡¯m not moving, I¡¯m going to live here, if you want to move, move by yourself!¡± Qu Yunyao crossed her arms, and sat down on the sofa.
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment.
She had always considered her daughter to be quite obedient, howe she became more and more rebellious after getting pregnant?
¡°Yunya, you¡¯re pregnant now, it really isn¡¯t suitable for you to live here. You¡¯re okay now, but once your belly slowly grows, won¡¯t you feel that it has a bad influence? Do you know what the maids are saying about us? They say we are a pitiful single mother and child, and they also say that you got pregnant out of wedlock, and are not mindful of your actions¡¡±
Before she could finish speaking, Qu Yunyao suddenly shouted, ¡°Xiaohong!
Xiaohong! Xiaohong,e here!¡±
The maid that was cleaning nearby quickly ran over, with a feather duster in her hand, ¡°Miss, Xiaohong has already been transferred.¡±
After Xu Jing said those words during dinnerst night, Mo Yaoxiong had the maids here switched.
Then Qu Yunyao said, ¡°Bring Xiaohong to me.
¡°Yunya, what are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Mom, don¡¯t intervene.¡± Qu Yunyao yelled at the maid, ¡°Are you deaf? Hurry up!¡±
The maid was startled and quickly put down the feather duster to go call Xiaohong.
Soon, Xiaohong was brought in.
When she arrived, she looked nervously at Qu Yunyao, ¡°Miss, what do you need me for¡ Ah!¡±
Qu Yunyao pped her hard, her elegant face was distorted with aggression, ¡°Shameless slut, what did you say behind my back? Huh!
Xiaohong covered her face, in pain, scared, and wronged, she could only deny, ¡°Miss, I didn¡¯t say anything bad about you, I really didn¡¯t¡ Ah!
Another p came down.
¡°You dare argue back!¡± Qu Yunyao picked up the feather duster the maid had hastily put down and fiercely hit Xiaohong, ¡°You¡¯re just a maid, yet you dare to say I¡¯m unscrupulous? Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to talk about me, huh!¡±
¡°Yunya, have you gone mad? Stop it¡¡± Xu Jing hurriedly tried to pull her back. But Qu Yunyao was like a lunatic, continuously hitting with the feather duster more than a dozen times, then she threw it on the ground with a ¡°tter¡±, ¡°Get
out!¡±
Xiaohong ran out of the vi crying, and as she rounded the corner, she saw Mo Weiyiing out from the opposite vi.
Her eyes lit up, she hastily ran over crying, ¡°Princess, wuu wuu wuu¡¡± Mo Weiyi looked up and was almost scared, ¡°What happened? How did you get hurt like this?¡±
Xiaohong¡¯s eyes were red and swollen from crying, her hair was a mess, her cheeks showed obvious handprints, and there were red marks on her forehead.
At first nce, she looked like she had been abused.
Chapter 423: 423, are you pursuing Mo Weiyi?
Chapter 423: are you pursuing Mo Weiyi?
¡°Princess, Miss Qu just called me over and hit me. She said I was badmouthing her behind her back, but I didn¡¯t say anything¡ Princess, you have to stand up for me, wuu wuu wuu¡¡±
Xiaohong is in her twenties this year. She has only been helping out at the old house for two years. Although Mo Weiyi doesn¡¯t spend much time at home, she knows that this granddaughter is the one her grandfather loves the most.
If anyone asked who was in charge of this household, the answer would surely be the Little Princess.
Sure enough, Mo Weiyi¡¯s pretty face darkened immediately. ¡°This Qu Yunyao, is she crazy? How dare she bully the servants behind my back. Does she think she¡¯s the master now? Come with me!¡±
Xiaohong quickly followed her, still crying.
Northern Vi.
In the living room, Xu Jing was still reprimanding Qu Yunyao. Hearing Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice, she stood up quickly. Seeing Xiaohong behind her, her heart dropped.
¡°Auntie.¡± Mo Weiyi stood there, looking at Qu Yunyao who was sitting on the sofa. ¡°I have seen a servant being beaten, so I came to find out what is going on.¡±
¡°Yiyi, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xu Jing immediately apologized. ¡°It was Yunyao who was wrong. She¡ She was feeling unwell just now, and she took it out on the servant.¡±
¡°Yunyao, is that so?¡± Mo Weiyi raised her chin, arching her eyebrows.
Clearly, she didn¡¯t believe it.
Therefore, Qu Yunyao got up from the sofa, bit her lip, and cautiously came over to apologize. ¡°Sister Yiyi, it was all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have vented my anger on the servants. My mother has already scolded me, and I know I was wrong.¡±
After speaking, she looked at Xiaohong, her tone was even more sincere. ¡°Xiaohong, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to p you. Can you forgive me?¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
Xiaohong was also stunned, having never expected that Miss Qu could change her face so quickly. She was so arrogant in private, but in front of Mo Weiyi, she pretended to be a sweet little rabbit.
¡°Yiyi.¡± Xu Jingughed pleasantly. ¡°Yunyao is young and naive, and she is pregnant now¡ It was my fault just now, I couldn¡¯t hold her back. Please don¡¯t be angry.¡±
All of Mo Weiyi¡¯s anger seemed to have nowhere to vent.
She raised her chin, her voice clear. ¡°Since I let you and my aunt stay here, you are my guests. If there is any problem, just go to Uncle Shi. If it really is the servant¡¯s negligence or misconduct, Uncle Shi will discipline them. You don¡¯t need to do it yourselves, nor are you qualified to hit the Mo family¡¯s servants.¡± Xu Jing looked ufortable.
Yet Qu Yunyao was still smiling, ¡°I understand, Sister Yiyi. I don¡¯t understand the rules here. When you have time,e back more often and teach me.¡± Mo Weiyi gave her a look and turned to leave.
**
By the time she got to school and was walking in front of the academic building, she received a call from Mo Yaoxiong.
¡°Weiyi, did you say something to Yunyao just now?¡±
¡°What did she tell you?¡± Mo Weiyiughed, if Qu Yunyao really was badmouthing her behind her back, then¡
¡°She didn¡¯t say anything, just that she wants to move out with Xu Jing.¡± Mo Yaoxiong sighed, ¡°But I heard from the servants that you were at home this morning and had a little unpleasantness with her?¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately recounted the whole incident. Finally she said, ¡°Dad, since they want to move out, let them. You¡¯ve let them stay at home for half a year, isn¡¯t that benevolent enough? Isn¡¯t Auntie¡¯s arm already healed? Plus, she is the one who said she wanted to move out. Why are you still worried?¡±
¡°I understand now, you pay attention to your ss.¡± After saying that, Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone.
Mo Weiyi puffed up her cheeks. As soon as she stowed away her mobile phone, her shoulder was tapped from behind.
When she turned around, she saw Ling Zhizhou standing behind her.
He was tall and looked clean. The sunlight behind him cast a shadow on him, making him seem as if he was bathing in the light. Even the smile on his face was warm and sunny.
¡°Hi senior, what a coincidence.¡± Ling Zhizhou smiled happily, but Mo Weiyi was immediately a bit uneasy.
¡°Ling Zhizhou, I¡¯m sorry about the textbook you lent me yesterday¡¡±
¡± I don¡¯ t have an English ss for a week, keep using it.¡± Ling Zhizhou readily said.
Mo Weiyi was embarrassed. ¡°What I meant to say is, I think I lost your textbook.¡±
LingZhizhou:
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I found my freshman year textbook. Can you use it instead?¡± Mo Weiyi took out the freshman year textbook she had found at the old house this morning. ¡°It¡¯s very clean, I haven¡¯t used it.¡±
Ling Zhizhou took the textbook, opened it and saw the words ¡°Mo Weiyi¡± written on the title page.
The handwriting was masculine, forceful.
He quickly closed it. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll use this one of yours.¡±
Seeing himugh so happily, Mo Weiyi felt her guilt fade away.
¡°Are you going to the reading room this afternoon? I can save you a spot.¡± Ling Zhizhou asked again.
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Alright, so two spots again, right?¡±
¡°Right.¡± As Mo Weiyi said this, she looked at the time, ¡°I¡¯m going to ss now. I¡¯ll find you in the reading room this afternoon.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Ling Zhizhou waved.
Watching Mo Weiyi walk into the ssroom, he lowered his head and picked up the textbook in his hand. He opened it and looked at the three characters inside.
The originally innocent and sunny smile on his face gradually disappeared, reced by a cold mockery at the corners of his mouth, as well as the obvious gloom in his eyes.
Until a girl¡¯s voice came from beside him, ¡°Ling Zhizhou, are you pursuing Mo Weiyi?¡±
Ling Zhizhou didn¡¯t respond, only closing his book, his expression returning to normal.
Chapter 424: 424, Ling Zhizhou
Chapter 424: Ling Zhizhou
Ling Zhizhou said nothing and just closed his book, his expression back to usual.
¡°Ling Zhizhou, do you really not know who she is? She¡¯s Mo Weiyi, the school beauty of our school. In fact, she got married two years ago, and her husband is the president of the Mo Family. You should give up, there¡¯s not a single boy in our school who dares to approach her¡¡±
¡°So what?¡± Ling Zhizhou looked at her before turning to leave.
¡°So you knew all along?¡± The girl chased after him in surprise. ¡°Why are you still pursuing her then? Are you mad? She¡¯s even two years older than you! She won¡¯t look at you. Don¡¯t be foolish, Ling Zhizhou, Ling Zhizhou?¡±
**
The Mo Family¡¯s old house.
In the living room of the north vi, Qu Yunyao was apologizing.
¡°Uncle, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m pregnant now, and sometimes my temper is not good. I might have spoken a bit harshly to Xiaohong. It¡¯s only normal for her to grumble about me behind my back. Just now, I lost my temper and pped her, I didn¡¯t expect to upset Yiyi¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong immediately spoke, ¡°Yiyi is a bit straightforward with her words. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Qu Yunyao bit her lip, ¡°But it is indeed my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have pped Xiaohong.¡±
After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head, a quiver in her voice, ¡°But Xiaohong crossed the line. She called my mom a divorcee that nobody wants, said I was pregnant before marriage andcked self-discipline, even said we were freeloading here. I just couldn¡¯t hold it in¡¡±
¡°How dare she!¡± As Mo Yaoxiong listened, he grew angrier. He turned to a servant, ¡°Get Shi Bo over here.¡±
Xu Jing¡¯s heart lurched. She quickly said, ¡°Brother-inw, what are you going to do?¡±
¡°Nevermind.¡±
Qu Yunyao dabbed away her tears with a tissue.
Soon, Shi Bo was called over. Mo Yaoxiong immediately ordered, ¡°The one called Xiaohong, tell her to pack up her belongings and leave.¡±
Shi Bo nced at the mother-daughter duo and nodded in understanding. ¡°Alright.¡±
¡°Brother-inw.¡± Xu Jing wanted to talk him out of it, ¡°You don¡¯t really need to go to such lengths¡¡±
¡°Yes, uncle.¡± Qu Yunyao put in her own two cents, ¡°If you fire Xiaohong, Yiyi might me my mother and me for tattling behind her back¡¡±
¡°Yunyao!¡± Xu Jing shouted to stop her.
Qu Yunyao bit her lip, looking wronged.
Seeing this, Mo Yaoxiong grew even more furious, ¡°Keeping a servant who speaks ill of others behind their backs is a disaster. It¡¯s none of your business. If Yiyi asks, I¡¯ll say it was my decision.¡±
Shi Bo nodded and went about his business.
Qu Yunyao was pleased with herself and quickly stood up, ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go look at the house now. Didn¡¯ t you say we have an appointment with the real estate agent to sign the contract?¡±
Xu Jing stared at Qu Yunyao, feeling a sudden change in her daughter¡¯s demeanor. Just now, she was scolding Xiaohong for wanting to move out, and now¡
Mo Yaoxiong asked, ¡°Are you really determined to move out and live on your own?¡±
Xu Jing responded, ¡°Brother-inw, these past six months, I am sincerely grateful for your and father¡¯s gracious care. Now that I have some savings, and we¡¯ve found a ce we like, I think it¡¯s best if we move out.¡±
¡°Mom.¡± Qu Yunyao chimed in dutifully, ¡°I¡¯ve also saved up a little. I can help you cover part of the rent.¡±
Seeing their minds were made up, Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have the butler arrange a driver to send you thereter¡¡±
¡°Uncle.¡± Qu Yunyao interrupted him, ¡°Mom and I have only just returned for half a year and we¡¯re not familiar with the real estate market in Nancheng. I¡¯m pregnant and my mom is a weak woman. What if the agent cheats us?¡±
She stated her intention, ¡°So Uncle, can you apany us?¡±
Hearing these words, Xu Jing changed color, ¡°Yunyao, what are you talking about? Your uncle is a busy man¡¡±
¡°No problem, I can apany you.¡± Mo Yaoxiong didn¡¯t see what was wrong. They were all alone and Qu Yunyao had asked. It wouldn¡¯t be too much trouble for him to lend a hand.
The real estate market in Nancheng was almost in a frenzied state with exorbitant housing prices. Incidents of agents scamming people were frequently reported in the news.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the estate agency, the young agent said right away, ¡°Ms. Xu, many people are interested in this house. A few days ago, I asked if you wanted to reserve it. You said you¡¯d think about it, but now, the price has gone up.¡±
¡°How much did it go up?¡± Xu Jing asked.
¡°Not much. It¡¯s increased by two hundred.¡±
¡°That much?¡±
Two hundred was not a particrlyrge sum, but when factored into the rent, it came out to be quite significant. It meant paying an extra two hundred every month. That would turn into over two thousand in a year. Furthermore, this money would have to be paid upon signing the contract and the agent¡¯s fee had to be considered¡
Qu Yunyao also said, ¡°You raise the price for no reason. Isn¡¯t this cheating?¡±
The young manughed, ¡°Littledy, you¡¯re wrong. The market for this district is verypetitive. Prices change daily. It¡¯s the same if you ask any other agency.¡±
¡°But my mom had an agreement with you. Isn¡¯t this a breach of promise?¡±
¡°Your mom didn¡¯t make a deposit or sign a contract. Without a fixed price, there¡¯s natural fluctuation ording to the market. Isn¡¯t it normal? Can you me me?¡±
¡°You¡¯re scamming us¡¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s brow furrowed, ¡°We¡¯ll take a look at the house first.¡±
Qu Yunyao closed her mouth, a displeased look on her face.
However, once they went to see the house.
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s eyebrows immediately furrowed even more, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the ceiling in this house?¡±
The young manughed, ¡°This can be fixed.¡±
¡°This bathroom is too dirty, right?¡±
¡°Once the house is booked, we will get it cleaned.¡±
¡°This cupboard is too old, isn¡¯t it? And there aren¡¯t enough stools.¡±
¡°We can provide those for you too.¡±
¡°These windows don¡¯t seem strong, and this is the second floor. What if someone jumps in from outside¡¡±
After some back and forth, the young man¡¯s face finally darkened, ¡°If you want to install burr-proof windows, it will cost extra.¡±
In the end, Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°This house is not suitable, it¡¯s not livable.¡±
Qu Yunyao also said, ¡°Mom, were you fooled by someone? How can such a run-down house cost eight thousand yuan?¡±
Xu Jing: ¡°¡¡±
The agency¡¯s young man: ¡°¡¡±
Of course, they returned empty-handed.
In the car, Mo Yaoxiong said, ¡°If you really want to move out, you can. But you need to take your time in choosing a house, don¡¯t rush. Today¡¯s house is simply uninhabitable and it¡¯s unsafe for the two of you to live there. I can¡¯t rx my mind, what if something happens, how will I exin it to mom?¡±
Listening to this, Qu Yunyao nodded repeatedly, ¡°Mom, let¡¯s take Uncle Mo¡¯s advice and take our time, okay?¡±
At this point, Xu Jing could only nod as well, ¡°Alright then.¡±
**
This careful search ended up taking over a week.
As Xu Jing had to teach at school, she didn¡¯t have much time to go house hunting. Plus, Mo Yaoxiong was busy, and Qu Yunyao was pregnant and couldn¡¯ t overwork herself.
During this time, Mo Weiyi was busy reviewing his lessons every day and didn¡¯t have time to get involved with the old house.
Even more so with Xiao Yebai, who was busy preparing for thepany¡¯s anniversary.
One morning, after the English ss was over.
Su Wanwan looked at the time, ¡°Lunch, or the reading room?¡±
Mo Weiyi packed up his things, ¡°Tonight I have to attend thepany¡¯s anniversary, so I need to try on the formal dress.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you attending with Huo¡¯sboss?¡± Mo Weiyi asked, ¡°Have you tried the dress?¡±
¡°He asked me to wait for his call.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi had just finished packing his bag when Su Wanwan¡¯s phone rang.
She heard Su Wanwan say, ¡°Now? Okay.¡±
Having hung up, Mo Weiyi immediately said, ¡°Great, I won¡¯t wait for uncle Liu now, I¡¯ll go with you guys.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
The two young girls left the ssroom, talking andughing.
One was cute and sweet, the other was elegant and pleasant ¨C one was the school flower, the other, the top girl in their department. Even in their thick winter clothes, they quickly attracted the attention of the students.
Already, someone tried to strike a conversation.
¡°Wait¡ elder sister, wait a moment!¡±
Su Wanwan turned around and saw Ling Zhizhou running over. There were two male students standing behind him, likely his ssmates.
When he arrived, he handed over a book, ¡°Elder sister, this is a book I just borrowed from the library, may it be of use to you?¡±
It was a book called ¡°New Oriental University English Secret.¡±
¡°I heard this set of courses is really hard to borrow, so I asked the librarian to keep an eye out for it. I finally managed to get it and rushed to deliver it to you.¡± Mo Weiyi was overjoyed, ¡°Of course it¡¯s useful, thank you so much! I¡¯ve been trying to borrow it for a long time.¡±
Ling Zhizhou smiled, ¡°Since it¡¯s useful, then go ahead and use it. I¡¯m going to have lunch with my ssmates.¡±
¡°Okay, goodbye.¡±
When Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan said, hinting at something, ¡°This junior, seems to be particrly good to you.¡±
Chapter 425: 425, Show off Love
Chapter 425: Show off Love
Once Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan hinted, ¡°This younger schoolmate seems particrly good to you.¡±
Reserving a seat every day, helping her review, and even proactively lending books¡ wasn¡¯t he the least bit too enthusiastic?
Mo Weiyi was full of smiles, ¡°People can¡¯t help being nice to me because I¡¯m beautiful. Maybe he¡¯s moved by my beauty.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Reaching the school gate and waiting for a while, Huo Jingshen¡¯s car arrived. Once she sat in the car and saw Huo Jingshen¡¯s obviously tight expression, Mo Weiyi greeted sweetly, ¡°Hello, Mr. Huo. Which shop are you nning to go to try on the ceremonial dress?¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at her through the rearview mirror and opened his thin lips, ¡°Wherever you¡¯re going¡¡±
Where you¡¯re going, we won¡¯t go there.
Who knew that Mo Weiyi would cheerfully answer, ¡°Whichever ce you go to,
I¡¯ll go there.¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
Anyway, no matter which high-end custom dress shop in Nancheng she goes to, she has a card, so it doesn¡¯t matter which one she goes to¡ this was what Mo Weiyi was thinking.
Arriving at the international mall, Huo Jingshen took the two youngdies to the high-end dress area on the top floor.
Finally, they entered a familiar shop.
The manager personally greeted them.
Havinge here twice with Su Wanwan before, Huo Jingshen naturally was recognized. What was even more surprising was that the Mo Family¡¯s Little Princess had alsoe.
He immediately called all the clerks in the shop to greet them, and grandly weed the three of them into the high-end VIP area.
They had the manner of everyone vying to wait on them.
After the salesperson introduced the dresses till they were tongue-tied, Huo Jingshen finally said, ¡°This one.¡±
It was a long lotus pink dress. The hem swayed to the ground, the skirt was somewhat fluffy, and the lines of the petals were faintly visible under ayer of white gauze. It looked ethereal and captivating.
The salesperson immediatelyughed and said, ¡°Mr. Huo has great taste. This dress has been hanging here for three months, and it is a piece from the same series that Mrs. Huo worest time. Both are works by French master TURRY. This color and style, ordinary people would not dare to try, but mrs Huo s exceptional beauty and demeanor certainly won¡¯t be a problem.¡±
Su Wanwan was terribly embarrassed.
Today¡¯s salespeople really know how to tter. They use the technique of initially praising then belittling, aren¡¯t they afraid that she¡¯ll put it onter and it¡¯ll look unsuitable?
Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, ¡°Baby, go try it.¡±
Su Wanwan had no choice but to go to the dressing room with the salesperson.
Not long after, she wore the dress and came out, and the salespeople began to praise her tirelessly.
¡°Mrs. Huo looks really beautiful in this dress!¡±
¡°Yes, this color really suits Mrs. Huo!¡±
¡°Mrs. Huo¡¯s figure is really great.¡±
¡°Mr. Huo¡¯s taste is so good.¡±
No one dislikespliments,
Su Wenwen was slightly floating with pride when praised, and Huo Jingshen also raised one of his eyebrows, obviously very satisfied.
When Su Wanwan came to the dressing mirror, she turned around and saw the
back of the dress.
Huo Jingshen¡¯s originally fairly pleasant face suddenly turned gloomy.
No wonder they said her figure was good.
This dress looks very ethereal,dylike, and goddess-like from the front, but
the back holds a secret.
Arge piece of the dress had been hollowed out, revealing her whole beautiful back, and not only that, it revealed her waist as well and one could even see the two small indentations at her waist.
At this time, Mo Weiyi also came over, and Su Wanwan immediately asked her, ¡°Weiyi, does it look good?¡±
¡°It looks great!¡± Mo Weiyi nodded like pounding garlic, ¡°Looking just at the front, it appears innocent and cute like a little white rabbit, but looking at the back, wow, it¡¯s simply a seductive little fairy!¡±
¡°Change to another one.¡± Huo Jingshen cut in abruptly.
Su Wanwan frowned, ¡°Why change it? I think it¡¯s beautiful.
Mo Weiyi also nodded, ¡°Yes, baby Wanwan¡¯s figure is so good, it¡¯s a pity not to
show it.¡±
Huo Jingshen gave her a sidelong nce, ¡°Go pick out your own clothes.¡± Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue and continued to go choose clothes.
Really now.
All men are the same, in private they¡¯re very open-minded, but in public, they still don¡¯t like their wives wearing revealing clothes.
Once Mo Weiyi left, Huo Jingshen stepped forward and hugged Su Wanwan from behind.
In the huge dressing mirror, a tall man in a suit and leather shoes stood behind her, his voice low as he said, ¡°This is too revealing.
Looking at the image of the two of them in the mirror, Su Wanwan felt inexplicably shy, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it only reveals a little in the back.¡±
The salespeople next to them were still watching.
Her face was a little red.
Huo Jingshen hugged her tighter and said, ¡°If babe really likes this one, you can buy it and wear it at home in front of your husband.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Buy it to wear in front of him alone?
Forget it then, it¡¯s a waste of money.
This stinking man.
There are so many people standing beside us.
She was just about to push him away when¡
¡°Do you guys have to disy your affection like this?
That¡¯s Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice, both petnt and irate, ¡°Can¡¯t you just consider my feelings!¡±
She had just picked a red dress and wanted her best friend to give her advice, but she saw the two hugging tightly as soon as she walked over.
Unbelievable!
Su Wanwan quickly pushed Huo Jingshen away.
Compared to her blushing embarrassment, Huo Jingshen was perfectlyposed, even ncing at Mo Weiyi with a hint of reproach before turning to leave.
At this time, the waiter brought another dress of the same color series. However, the style of this one was much more conservativepared to the other dress.
¡°Mrs. Huo, why don¡¯t you try this one?¡±
The two of them went to change into the dresses, and came back out once they were dressed.
Looking at the Little Princess in a red dress, shining brilliantly, Su Wanwan asked her, ¡°Where¡¯s your Xiaobai?¡±
¡°He sent a message earlier, said he wille soon.¡± Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, very satisfied with the dress.
Her skin was fair, her appearance bright, and this kind of bright red was very suitable for her, especially for an asion like today¡¯s. As thedy of the house, wearing this red could not be more fitting.
However, when Huo Jingshen came out in a fine tailored men¡¯s ck suit, Mo Weiyi felt like she was witnessing another disy of affection.
Because Huo Jingshen said, ¡°Baby, help me pick a tie. Ignoring the teasing looks from the waiter, Su Wanwan coughed twice, ¡°You choose it yourself, I don¡¯t know what color you like.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t know what color I like?¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
How would she know?
Usually, it¡¯s just ck, white, and gray, and the tie seems to be a dark color? She still went over and picked out a tie with a dark pattern from the row, How about this one?¡±
¡°Good taste.¡± After Huo Jingshen finished speaking, his brows raised slightly, ¡°Baby, help me put it on.¡±
Su Wanwan said, ¡°I don¡¯t knowhow.¡±
¡°Let hubby teach you.¡± Huo Jingshen said, grabbing Su Wanwan¡¯s wrist and pulling her in front of him.
He took the tie, slightly bowed his head, and first tied it under the cor of the white shirt.
Then he gripped Su Wanwan¡¯s little hand, ¡°First this way, then this way, tuck it in, pull tight, harder ¡±
Su Wanwan felt like a puppet on strings.
Most importantly, there were several people avidly watching from the side¡ Finally, she tied it and let out a breath of relief.
¡°Did you learn it?¡± Huo Jingshen looked at the girl in front of him, smiling. Su Wanwan felt her face heating up, ¡°It¡¯s too difficult, can¡¯t you just tie it yourself next time.¡±
¡°Practice makes perfect, we¡¯ll practice more in the future.
¡°But¡¡±
¡°Ahhhhhhhhhh!¡±
A sudden shrill scream from a woman startled Su Wanwan.
Mo Weiyi was standing there, her small fists clenched, threateningly saying, ¡°I can¡¯t stand you two anymore! I¡¯m going out to call Xiaobai! Humph!
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Huo Jingshen: ¡°¡¡±
*
*
Mo Weiyi took her phone outside and dialed Xiao Yebai¡¯s number.
The call was quickly answered.
¡°Weiyi.¡±
Hearing the man¡¯s clear and cold voice, Mo Weiyi pouted sadly, ¡°Xiaobai, when can youe?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll have to wait for a while longer, help me pick out a suit, 111e straight over tonight.¡±
¡°You¡¯re onlying tonight?¡± Mo Weiyi frowned, ¡°Will it be toote?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Men¡¯s dressing was not asplicated as women¡¯s. Once the clothes were selected, they just needed to put them on.
Unlike women, who had to choose clothes, jewelry, shoes, coordinate them and do makeup and styling.
Mo Weiyi knew this, but because Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan were still inside, especially when Huo Jingshen kept calling her ¡°baby¡±, she inevitably felt envious.
¡°Can¡¯t youe a bit earlier,¡± she pleaded in a soft, coquettish voice, ¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯m so bored here by myself.¡±
Chapter 426: 426, Always Together
Chapter 426: Always Together
¡°Can¡¯t youe over earlier?¡± She whined softly, ¡°I¡¯m so bored here all alone.¡±
¡°I have to apany grandpa to meet the heads of the branches soon, I can¡¯t getaway.¡±
Today¡¯s anniversary celebration is huge. As the founder of the Mo Group, old Master Mo ceremoniously attends.
Mo Weiyi can only say, ¡°Alright then,e over when you¡¯re free. I¡¯ll help you pick out a dress.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
After hanging up the phone, a woman passes by pushing the door to enter.
Feeling that the figure seemed familiar, as Mo Weiyi walked into the store, he heard the salesperson at the counter saying, ¡°Secretary Shi, this is the dress that Mr. Chu has reserved.¡±
¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Shi Huan picked up the bag and turned to leave.
**
Nangong Hospital.
Shi Huan rushed back to the ward and put down the bag, ¡°Mr. Chu, here is the dress you requested.¡±
On the hospital bed, Chu Xiuhuang nced at her, ¡°Did you try it on?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The dress, didn¡¯t you try it on?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked again.
Shi Huan blinked, ¡°This dress is¡¡±
¡°For tonight¡¯s Mo Group anniversary celebration, naturally, the dress is for you.¡±
¡°Mr. Chu, I don¡¯t need it.¡±
¡°No, you do.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before? When you attend public asions, you naturally represent the image of Huangyou.¡±
Shi Huan nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±
Anyway, he¡¯s hospitalized, whether she wears it or not, he won¡¯t be able to see.
But then Chu Xiuhuang said, ¡°Try it on now.¡±
¡°No need,¡± Shi Huan immediately refused, ¡°I just checked the size.¡±
¡°Hmm, does it fit well?¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow.
Having held her three times, and having seen her in a swimsuit, Chu Xiuhuang was confident in his estimates. The only thing he hadn¡¯t measured was¡
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s pair of phoenix eyes sneakily looked at Shi Huan.
From the bikini she was wearing that day, she didn¡¯t seem overwhelmingly busty, but she should look pretty nice.
¡°Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang hurriedly came back to his senses.
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
She lowered her head to check.
Wondering if she had gotten her clothes dirty.
But there was nothing.
Chu Xiuhuang turned his face away, his Adam¡¯s apple suspiciously bobbing up and down a few times, as if suppressing some emotion.
Shi Huan¡¯s brows furrowed even tighter.
She lowered her head to check again.
She noticed nothing wrong with her outfit, it was a ck high cor sweater, and it was a loose fit too.
Finally, Chu Xiuhuang turned his face back and asked seriously, ¡°How¡¯s thepany¡¯s business going recently?¡±
Shi Huan¡¯s eye twitched violently.
He is actually concerned about thepany¡¯s business?
¡°Hm?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s phoenix eyes narrowed.
Shi Huan quickly said, ¡°Themunication process with Huan Teng ispleted. I¡¯ll have the contract brought over tomorrow for Mr. Chu to sign. The resort project with Huo Yuan is ongoing. As for Bingo¡¯s uing publicity ns¡¡±
¡°Cancel cooperation with Bingo.¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted directly.
¡°Why?¡±
Mr. Zhou from Bingo is a clever man, and the cooperation with Huangyou has been pleasant over the years.
Chu Xiuhuang impatiently narrowed his eyes again, ¡°Director Shen actually tried to take advantage of my injury to molest me, do you think we can continue to cooperate?¡±
¡°But if we terminate the contract now, we the breaching party, not only have topensate for the breach of contract, but also all the costs of this event¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care, terminate the cooperation immediately.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡±
The boss has money to throw around, as a secretary, Shi Huan could only agree.
Although she thought the fact that Director Shen molested him was somewhat unbelievable.
Next, Shi Huan reported the progress of her work, Chu Xiuhuang listened, time ticked by, everything seemed harmonious.
Until the door was suddenly knocked.
Shi Huan went to open it.
¡°Secretary Shi.¡± It was Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s private vi¡¯s maid, holding arge bag, ¡°These are the clothes Mr. Chu needs.¡±
¡°Thank you, Auntie Wu.¡± Shi Huan took the bag.
Thinking it was a change of clothes, but then Chu Xiuhuang said, ¡°Hand it to me.¡±
Shi Huan handed it over.
Chu Xiuhuang opened up the outer cover, revealing a three-piece suit inside.
Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand to unbutton the hospital gown he was wearing, quickly removing the top to reveal his bare, well-toned upper body.
Shi Huan watched him, seeming a bit stupefied.
It wasn¡¯t until Chu Xiuhuang undid his belt and then, with his gorgeous thin lips hooked up wickedly, asked, ¡°Little Huanhuan, do you like what you see?¡± Shi Huan¡¯s mind exploded and she quickly turned around.
¡°Heh.¡± A man¡¯s low chuckle came from behind her.
Shi Huan didn¡¯t speak again, she heard the rustling sounds from behind her, feeling her face gradually heating up.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s physique¡
Needless to say¡
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had practiced martial arts for years, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a standard male model figure.
Furthermore, he wasn¡¯t the pale-skinned type, but he wasn¡¯t dark either. He had a very healthy wheatplexion, which bnced out his slightly effeminate facial features. He was wickedly charming, very masculine and gentlemanly.
A ranking list of the top ten sexiest men in Nancheng was previously posted on a social media tform, and Chu Xiuhuang, outranking all the male artists, received the most votes. Looking back now, he truly deserved it.
An eight-pack abdomen, uniform and good-looking, not too muscr yet not too frail.
Even in the loosely fitting hospital gown, you could see that¡
Realizing what she was thinking, Shi Huan¡¯s face suddenly blushed.
Having put on his trousers, Chu Xiuhuang picked up a shirt from the side. As he put it on, he watched the young woman in front of him.
She stood there with her back to him, her back straight as a rod, her lustrous ck hair reaching only to her shoulder¡¯s length. It wasn¡¯t styled, but the quality was good, shiny and glossy.
With his thin lips gently sketching out a trace of an arc, Chu Xiuhuang said, ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±
Shi Huan didn¡¯t turn around.
Only when the warmth on her face had finally subsided, she expressionlessly turned around.
The next second.
¡°Mr. Chu, are you going out?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was actually wearing the three-piece suit, even his tie was neatly tied.
Chu Xiuhuang lifted his long brows, ¡°It¡¯s Mo Group¡¯s anniversary celebration, what do you think?¡±
¡°But your¡ health¡¡± Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but nce towards a certain part of the man.
He had been hospitalized because of an injury in that area. Was he sure he could go out?
Chu Xiuhuang shed a devilish grin, ¡°I¡¯ve got it covered, as long as it isn¡¯t touched.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
¡°So Secretary Shi, remember to stick with me every step of the way tonight,¡± Chu Xiuhuang added.
Shi Huan replied with a forced smile, ¡°Understood.¡±
**
At six o¡¯clock in the evening, Huashang Hotel.
At the hotel¡¯s entrance on the first floor, a red carpet stretched from the banquet hall all the way to the roadside parking lot.
Many stars and artists were invited to help cheer on the event, including several current popr idols. Plus, tonight¡¯s attendees were all Nancheng¡¯s elites, including representatives from several major families. It was a gathering of the grand, with an astounding disy of fanfare.
Outside the security barriers, besides fans and onlookers, most of the others were journalists from various media outlets.
Even though the cold wind was howling, the on-scene atmosphere was incredibly vibrant. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.
Shi Huan parked the car and waited for a while. Then she turned to Chu Xiuhuang and asked, ¡°Mr. Chu, aren¡¯t you getting out of the car?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s face was tense.
He was not happy.
Very unhappy.
This woman insisted upon changing into her dress inside the banquet hall and adamantly refused to change into her evening dress right away.
Didn¡¯t she realize they had to walk the red carpet?
¡°Mr. Chu?¡±
As soon as the question was voiced, Chu Xiuhuang forcefully pushed open the car door.
As if taking offense, he walked away.
Shi Huan hurriedly got out of the car, handed the car keys to the valet, grabbed her bag and hurriedly followed after.
Outside the security barriers, fans had already started holding up signs and shouting crazily.
¡°Brother Fire Emperor is so handsome!¡±
¡°We will always love you, Brother Fire Emperor!¡±
¡°Fly high, Brother Fire Emperor. May your fire always follow you.¡±
The pair of sister stars who had just passed by were the current sensations of the entertainment industry. Yet, the shouting of Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s fans¡ totally drowned them out.
How embarrassing!
Shi Huan stayed three steps behind Chu Xiuhuang. When they reached the press area, her hand was suddenly pulled, and then looped onto a man¡¯s arm.
Before she could react, the sound of camera shutters went off in front of her. Shi Huan resisted the urge to pull her hand away, slightly hooking up the corners of her lips and looked at the reporters.
A microphone was immediately thrust in front of her, ¡°We heard Mr. Chu was not feeling well recently. Could you say something to your concerned fans?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s smile was radiant, ¡°Thankyou all for your concern, I¡¯m feeling very well.¡±
Chapter 427: 427, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden
Chapter 427: Golden Boy and Jade Maiden
Then a reporter asked, ¡°May I ask if tonight Mr. Chu didn¡¯t bring a femalepanion?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, ¡°Secretary Shi is mypanion.¡±
The microphone was then directed towards Shi Huan, ¡°As a subordinate, Secretary Shi, can youment on Mr. Chu¡¯s attire this evening?¡±
Shi Huan also smiled, ¡°Handsome. Very handsome. Extremely handsome.¡±
¡°Alright, can the two of you pose together for a picture?¡±
The two stood before the red backdrop, and for a moment, shes of light flickered incessantly.
**
In the banquet hall, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen were already sitting at the VIP seats.
They didn¡¯t walk the red carpet,ing in directly from the backdoor to save the trouble of being interviewed.
When they saw Chu Xiuhuang entering with Shi Huan, Su Wenwen quickly stood, ¡°Secretary Shi.¡±
Shi Huan was about toe over, but Chu Xiuhuang said something to her. She walked away with the bag she was carrying.
Chu Xiuhuang then came over.
He was tall and had long legs, devilishly handsome, his crooked smile and charming demeanor adding to his allure. Wherever he went, he was like a ma, attracting whispers from the female guests.
Thedies¡¯ restroom.
Shi Huan stood inside a partition, opened the box, and found more than just the dress inside¡matching underwear.
Seeing the size, she was somewhat shocked.
After putting it on, she found it fit perfectly, both the underwear and the dress were the right size, even better fitting than some clothes she ordered online.
Shi Huan felt something was strange.
How did Mr. Chu know her size?
And how could he know it so precisely?
But the time was running out, she quickly pushed open the door of the partition, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at herself.
The nude colored sleeveless long dress with a thinyer of ruffledce at the dress hem was conservative in style. Even though she didn¡¯t have any particr styling, she was elevated into an aura of gentle and graceful beauty by this luxurious dress.
Shi Huan removed her sses.
Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, her expression froze for a moment.
A few secondster, she put on her sses immediately, tidy up her hair, took a deep breath, and opened the restroom door.
Unexpectedly, she ran into a familiar woman standing outside.
¡°Shi Huan?¡± Chu Jingyi was dressed in a burgundy low-cut, off-the-shoulder dress with her curly hair piled up into an exquisite bun. Her makeup was elegant and mature.
When she saw the dress Shi Huan was wearing, her face tightened.
It was a dress from the TURRY brand.
As a famous socialite of Nancheng, she obviously knew this famous French designer. The dresses designed by him could easily cost millions and were globally limited in quantity.
Shi Huan could afford their dress?
¡°Miss Chu.¡± Shi Huan nodded slightly, attempted to leave, but was held back by her.
¡°Where did you get this dress from?¡± Chu Jingyi asked.
Shi Huan gently curved the corner of her lips, ¡°This dress is from TURRY, if Miss Chu likes it, you might want to visit their store more in the future.¡±
After saying that, she freed her hand from her and walked away.
Chu Jingyi stood there, her slender and charming phoenix eyes squinting pensively.
A few secondster, she turned and moved in another direction.
**
Shi Huan returned to the banquet hall and saw the host of the party approaching from the opposite direction.
Elder Mo was wearing a red Tang suit and sitting in a wheelchair with a red glow on his face and a warm smile, looked in a good mood.
Mo Yaoxiong wore a dark grey three-piece suit which echoed with his meticulous hairstyle, pushing the wheelchair.
The ones following next to the wheelchair, of course, were Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi, the beaming stars of the night.
Without a doubt, this golden couple has drawn everyone¡¯s attention.
Xiao Yebai was wearing an exquisitely refined ck tuxedo, his hair neatly parted showing off his handsome features. Wearing thin-rimmed sses, he looked schrly and aloof, with an air of refinement.
In contrast, Mo Weiyi appeared to be the warmer one. Her bright red off- shoulder mini dress was coquettish yet appropriate, revealing just a hint of her corbone. The dress showcased her slender and curvy figure, highlighting her youthful aura. Each frown and smile disyed the unique spirit and charm of her era.
Shi Huan took her eyes off them, scanned around the hall, only to find Chu Xiuhuang missing.
The party was scheduled to start at eight o¡¯clock, it was not yet seven. After thinking for a moment, she walked towards the dining area at the back.
Su Wanwan was sitting there, eating. Seeing Shi Huan, she excitedly greeted her, ¡°Secretary Shi.¡±
Shi Huan came over and put a bag down, ¡°Mrs. Huo.¡±
¡°Wow, your dress is so beautiful.¡± Su Wanwanplimented, and immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t call me Mrs. Huo anymore, it¡¯s too distant, just call me Wanwan, after all, Ziyang and Luoluo are so close.¡±
Maybe in the future they could be inws!
Of course, Su Wanwan didn¡¯t utter these words.
Already trying to steal someone¡¯s sister at the age of five, she feared Shi Huan would be scared off.
Once Shi Huan sat down, she said, ¡°Eat something first. Your Chu is out smoking with my husband.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
So that¡¯s how it is.
Shi Huan got up to get some food.
With Chu gone, she was at ease. There was still the performance to watch until ten o¡¯clock, so she might as well fill up her stomach first.
Having taken a full te of food, Shi Huan was about to return when a blue figure suddenly shed by.
Immediately after¡
¡°Oh no!¡±
A woman¡¯s scream, apanied by the shattering sound of the wine ss hitting the ground and breaking.
The guests in the dining area, including the waiters, immediately turned to look.
Shi Huan had tried to dodge when she sensed something was amiss, but she couldn¡¯t avoid the misfortune.
She felt a chill and immediately put her te aside, looking down at herself.
¡°I¡¯m so sorry, miss, it¡¯s all my fault, what to do, I spilled all the wine on your dress, let me wipe it off for you?¡± The woman¡¯s panicked scream followed by calls for help, ¡°Waiter, waiter, bring some napkins quickly!¡±
Shi Huan frowned.
The fabric of this dress was chiffon, almost instantlypletely soaked with the spilled red wine. The wet fabric clung to her chest, clearly showing the matching underwear beneath.
Shi Huan was somewhat relieved that she had changed her underwear earlier, or her ck underwear would¡¯ve been clearly visible, which would¡¯ve been tremendously embarrassing.
A waiter soon arrived with napkins.
Just as the woman wanted to help clean up¡
¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.¡± Shi Huan calmly stopped her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t mean to do it.¡± The woman frowned, a clear look of disdain in her eyes, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go change your dress? Everyone here should have brought more than one dress, right?¡±
Shi Huan looked at her. Despite the mess on her, her expression was calm and emotionless, her voice likewise, ¡°Miss Luo, you¡¯ve dirtied my dress. I¡¯m afraid an apology won¡¯t do.¡±
Luo Yiyi was stunned.
She had noticed Shi Huan when Shi Huan walked the red carpet with Chu Xiuhuang, and just now, she had been chatting with Chu Jingyi. Motivated by a fit of jealousy, she had run over to embarrass Shi Huan, but she hadn¡¯t expected¡ that Shi Huan knew her?
Shi Huan continued, ¡°This dress was lent to me by Chu Xiuhuang. The wine stain might note off. The dress is worth 1.2 million yuan. Since you just admitted to identally spilling wine on me, considering that Miss Luo might be short on cash, I will send the bill to Mr. Luo¡¯s email.¡±
Before Luo Yiyi could react, Shi Huan had already turned and left.
**
As she left the banquet hall, a phrase strangely crossed Shi Huan¡¯s mind.
What does not belong to you will never be yours.
She was like Cindere who had secretly worn the ss slippers, but the hour had not yet struck and she was already reverting to her true form.
Standing in the hallway, Shi Huan was debating whether to go to the restroom to wipe down her dress and keep wearing it, or to change back into her ck suit.
Suddenly, she heard Su Wanwan¡¯s voice from behind her, ¡°Secretary Shi?¡±
Shi Huan turned around.
Su Wanwan walked over, apanied by Mo Weiyi.
Shi Huan¡¯s gaze, for some inexplicable reason, fell on Mo Weiyi.
Although she didn¡¯t know why.
Mo Weiyi walked over gracefully, her long curled hair hanging smoothly on her shoulders, her tiny face beautiful and clear, and her smile clean and sweet.
When she and Su Wanwan walked together, they were like the embodiment of beauty, making one feel inferior.
¡°Secretary Shi, your dress is dirty. Let Weiyi take you to change into a new one.¡± Su Wanwan said.
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Shi Huan¡¯s tone was polite, but it held an obvious sense of distance, ¡°I¡¯ll just wipe it off in the restroom.¡±
¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± The one speakingwas Mo Weiyi, her voice softer than Su Wanwan¡¯s, with a girlish charm, as if she was acting coquettishly.
She said, ¡°With the weather so cold, one can easily catch a cold.¡±
¡°That won¡¯t happen.¡± Shi Huan replied lightly.
Chapter 428: 428, Massacre Begins
Chapter 428: Massacre Begins
After being Chu¡¯s secretary for five years, her greatest achievement was a strong immune system. A single drink would never get her sick.
Su Wenwen proposed, ¡°Miss Shi, you should change your clothes with me. If your boss sees you like this, he might lose his temper and start ming me for not taking care of you.¡±
¡°Yes, you¡¯re our guest tonight. Grandpa told me to take good care of our guests,¡± Mo Weiyi added.
Shi Huan felt a headacheing on, ¡°There¡¯s really no need.¡±
Why were these young girls so enthusiastic?
She wasn¡¯t that fussy¡
¡°No,e and follow me. I brought several sets of dresses. You should be able to wear this ck one.¡± After speaking, Mo Weiyi directly took her hand and headed towards the dressing room.
The young girl¡¯s hand was soft and warm.
Shi Huan, whose hands and feet are usually cold, was taken aback by the warmth and followed closely behind.
She was led down a long corridor and finally pushed through a doorway.
After turning on the light and closing the door, Shi Huan finally came back to her senses.
¡°Miss Shi, how tall are you?¡± Mo Weiyi walked to the clothes rack and quickly picked out a long ck dress. ¡°I¡¯m 1.7m, you should be able to wear this. If not, we can just pair it with some high heels.¡±
¡°I think Miss Shi is about 1.65m,¡± Su Wanwan quickly estimated.
Mo Weiyi handed the dress to Shi Huan, ¡°Hurry up and go try it. This style is quite conservative, I¡¯m sure it suits you.¡±
Shi Huan tugged at the corner of her lips.
She could only nod, ¡°Okay then.¡±
An outright refusal at this point would truly seem too fussy.
¡°There¡¯s a hairdryer inside,¡± Mo Weiyi pointed out.
¡°Okay.¡±
Shi Huan took the dress into the room and undressed. She discovered her underwear had been soaked through by the spilt drink.
The fabric was cotton and quite thick, so it hadn¡¯t bepletely soaked through.
She used tissues to absorb the excess moisture and then dried them with the hairdryer. When she put on the ck dress Mo Weiyi gave her, she discovered¡
The style was indeed conservative. A sleeveless V-neck design, but the V-neck was a little too big for her. It exposed a lot of skin.
Although the underwear beneath was hidden, at first nce, it was indeed eye-catching.
But there was nothing she could do about it now.
Shi Huan let out her breath, adjusted the dress and walked out the door.
When she was out, Su Wenwen was gone, reced by another woman.
Just as Shi Huan was surprised¡
¡°It fits quite nicely!¡± Mo Weiyi immediately walked over and said with a beaming smile, ¡°I¡¯ve called Lili over, she¡¯ll do a little bit of makeup for you.¡±
¡°No need!¡± Shi Huan blurted out.
¡°How can it not be? If we¡¯re helping, we should do it thoroughly.¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice was soft but held a hint of dominance, she grasped Shi Huan¡¯s hands and got her to sit in front of the mirror. ¡°Lili has always been my exclusive stylist, she is very quick. It¡¯ll only take 10 minutes, a guaranteed transformation into a beauty.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
What beauty¡ I don¡¯t want to be one!
Shi Huan had no time to protest, and Lili already started styling her hair in a simple bun.
She then applied some hair spray to her loose hair for a quick set.
Her actions were swift and skillful.
Next, Lili took off Shi Huan¡¯s sses.
Shi Huan immediately shut her eyes.
Before she could react, she was bombarded with various makeup products.
Shi Huan let out a sigh of resignation from the bottom of her heart.
Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice echoed in her ear, ¡°Make sure not to apply too heavily.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
10 minutester.
¡°We¡¯re done.¡± Lili finally finished.
Just as Mo Weiyi had promised, it took exactly, to the minute, 10 minutes.
Before Shi Huan couldment on her appearance, she felt something cool on her neck.
Mo Weiyi had hung a pearl ne around her. ¡°This makes you even more beautiful.¡±
¡°Miss Mo, this is too precious,¡± Shi Huan tried to remove it but Mo Weiyi stopped her.
¡°How can a woman wear a dress without jewelry? Don¡¯t take it off!¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s tone was charming but resolutely firm.
Shi Huan never had any interaction with Mo Weiyi before, but she knew that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang almost got married two years ago.
Chu Xiuhuang was the eldest son of the Chu family, and Mo Weiyi was the only Little Princess of the Mo family. The male was handsome, the female was beautiful; had they indeed be husband and wife back then, the union of the aristocratic and nouveau riche would have been a nice topic in Nancheng.
Who knew that Mo Weiyi suddenly called off the wedding. She quickly married the adopted son of the Mo family, Xiao Yebai. From then on, Chu Xiuhuang, as if stimted, suddenly began to live his life recklessly.
As an observer from the beginning to the end of this whole affair, she didn¡¯t understand initially: why would love have such a huge impact on a man? To the point where a yboy like Masters Chu is even devastated like this?
Now she understands, it wasn¡¯t without reason.
Mo Weiyi was really impressive.
She was born into a prominent family, butpletelycked the arrogance of those so-called wealthydies.
On the contrary, she was beautiful yet naive, lovely but unpretentious, somewhat headstrong, but not in a way that repels people.
A young and beautiful Mo Weiyi like this, no wonder why Chu Xiuhuang cannot forget her¡
¡°Miss Shi, you¡¯re so beautiful, why do you want to dress down?¡± Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t understand.
She had seen too many women who weren¡¯t beautiful, frantically torturing themselves to look beautiful, even resorting to stic surgery.
But for the first time, she saw someone like Shi Huan who was very beautiful yet deliberately sought to make herself unattractive.
Could it be¡ to disguise herself?
Mo Weiyi instantly thought of her own husband, Xiao Yebai.
He also did not have any eyesight problems, but liked to wear sses. He said it was because he didn¡¯t want his subordinates to be scared when they looked at him. The sses made him appear more refined and friendly.
However, the sses he wore were not like those extrarge ck-framed sses of Shi Huan¡¯s. Those only made her look worse.
On the contrary, Xiaobai with his non-prescription sses gave off a vibe of degraded schr, which made him infuriatingly handsome!
¡°Miss Shi, trust me, you¡¯re really beautiful. From now on, don¡¯t put yourself down like this, okay?¡± Mo Weiyi said again.
Shi Huan looked at herself in the mirror.
¡°Shi Huan, you¡¯re really beautiful.¡± Suddenly, she remembered this sentence.
Once upon a time, someone had said this to her too.
She didn¡¯t even know how long it had been since she saw her true appearance.
It felt like such a long time ago.
**
At this time, the luxurious banquet hall was filled with beautiful women, and was filled withughter and chatter.
Watching Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan showing their affection to each other, and even Gu Huai¡¯an being apanied by a beautiful woman. Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s expression was sour, and his tone was impatient, ¡°Where is my secretary?¡±
Su Wanwan quickly replied, ¡°She went to change her clothes.¡±
¡°Changing clothes?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s expression turned even worse.
He had already finished smoking a cigarette and returned, but why was she still changing?
Does it take that long to change a dress?
¡°Yes, her dress was stained with wine just now and dirtied,¡± she exined.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s expression turned ck, ¡°She was dirtied? Is she a pig?¡±
Goddamn!
He had meticulously prepared a beautiful dress for her, and finally convinced her to change into it. But before he even got to see her in it, it was ruined by the wine?
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s tone turned dark, ¡°Which idiot spilled the wine?¡±
Su Wanwan¡¯s heart lurched, thinking that he was truly upset, ¡°Don¡¯t know, I heard Miss Shi calling her Miss Luo.¡±
¡°Miss Luo?¡± Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a n forming in his mind.
Everyone attending today were eminent figures of Nancheng. Of course, there were also many with average abilities but with other intentions trying to blend in, trying to meet more influential people by taking advantage of this asion.
¡°Mr. Gu, the Luo family¡¯spany seems to have a coboration with yourpany?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked directly.
Gu Huai¡¯an replied nonchntly, ¡°What, nning to wage a war for your secretary?¡±
Chu Xiuhuangughed out, ¡°What are you saying? Today is Mo Family¡¯s anniversary, we are at their venue, such talk about killing, can¡¯t you be more civilized, Old Gu?¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an put down his wine ss, his demeanor leisurely and sophisticated, ¡°So how do you n to be civilized?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang continued hisughter, ¡°Just wait and see.¡±
Gu Huai¡¯an clicked his tongue, ¡°I¡¯ll go out for some fresh air.¡±
Deng Anya, who was by his side, gave everyone a slight smile, then followed him out.
Looking at the two with their perfect appearances, Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are they actually getting married?¡±
A while ago the rumors about them were in full swing. I thought it was just a publicity stunt, didn¡¯t expect Gu Huai¡¯an to actually bring Deng Anya to attend the anniversary.¡±
As expected of an A-list star, Deng Anya was very charming. Her exquisite and extravagant dress made her more dazzling. It was just that¡ her temperament did not quite match with Gu Huai¡¯an¡¯s.
Chapter 429: 429, Stingy Mr. Huo
Chapter 429: Stingy Mr. Huo
Huo Jingshen simply took the wine ss out of her hand without addressing her previous words, ¡°Drink less.¡±
Su Wanwan humphed twice, ¡°Skinflint.¡±
She rarely gets the opportunity to drink, but every time, she would be stopped after just one or two sips.
¡°Behave, it¡¯s for your own good, darling.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t drink much!¡±
¡°How much do you think is too much?¡±
¡°I really only had two sips.¡±
¡°What will you do if you have a headache tomorrow?¡±
¡°How could I get a headache from just two sips?¡±
¡°After two sips you will drink three, four¡¡±
¡°Enough, enough.¡± Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted the two¡¯s endless chatter, then called over the server, ¡°Do you have Wangzai milk?¡±
The server was taken aback, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we don¡¯t.¡±
The party was the Mo Group¡¯s anniversary party, it is attended by the society¡¯s elites, there are no underage guests, where would they get Wangzai milk?
At most, they have soda water.
Chu Xiuhuang was very impatient, ¡°Damn it, these two are killing me with their talk, can¡¯t I have something sweet?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him awkwardly, then suddenly, her eyes lit up at someone behind him, ¡°Secretary Shi has arrived!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang impatiently turned around.
The next minute, the expression on his facepletely froze.
Or more urately, he was struck in awe.
Shi Huan was walking towards him, her ck hair that usually hung over her shoulders was now styled by a hairstylist in a simple style, with some strands of hair falling loosely on her cheeks, making her oval face look delicate and refined.
She was wearing exquisite light makeup, if he hadn¡¯t seen her without her sses before, he certainly wouldn¡¯t recognize her now, as she looked like apletely different person.
Now, she was pure and beautiful, and especially when her almond eyes were looking at him, they were like pools of spring water, pure and innocent, reflecting a touch of self-pity.
But the moment he looked down.
Chu Xiuhuang felt a stirring in his heart.
She was wearing a ck haute couture gown, the versatile material seemed like a second skin that was tailored to her figure, entuating her curvaceous physique, the design of the sleeveless V-neck was simple yet generous, but the V-neck¡
Was a bit too low.
As a result, under the contrast of the ck cloth, her skin appeared to be like ice jade, so white that it was dazzling.
Under the bright lights of the banquet hall, with her movement, a pearl ne was lightly floating¡
Very seductive!
Chu Xiuhuang quickly averted his eyes.
Damn!
Who had her dressed in such a bold dress?
Damn¡
Was someone deliberately tempting him?
Fuck!
Chu Xiuhuang gave a rough cough or two, then swiftly reached for the red win on the side.
He drank it down in one fell swoop.
The cold liquid instantly poured down his throat.
Huo Jingshen, on the side, rubbed his thick eyebrows in exasperation, then irritably shifted his gaze.
This Chu Xiuhuang, acting like a greenhorn.
Clearly, he is just a kid who hasn¡¯t driven a car!
Just couldn¡¯t bear to look at him.
As for Su WanWan¡
¡°Secretary Shi.¡± She walked up to Shi Huan somewhat excitedly, ¡°Wow, you look so pretty in that dress! Who knew Weiyi had such great taste!¡±
Earlier when she walked into the rest room, she was called back by Huo Jingshen¡¯s phone call, she was worried that Mo Weiyi might make Shi Huan look ridiculous, but she didn¡¯t expect The Little Princess to have such great style.
This ck dress, simple and elegant, really suited Shi Huan¡¯s cool yet delicate demeanor, and it was very sexy too.
She noticed that Shi Huan had a great figure during their time at the hot spring resort, and seeing her today confirmed this.
Su Wanwan, who was wearing a pair of high heels, had the advantage of height and easily observed from above.
Shi Huan was so embarrassed that she hastily adjusted her dress.
Even though she had a ne covering her, and despite the fact that Su Wanwan was a woman, Shi Huan didn¡¯t feelfortable being stared at so explicitly¡
¡°Is this dress from Little Princess?¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice rang out pleasantly.
Shi Huan nodded, her gaze falling on the handsome man¡¯s face.
Just as expected, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s thin lips curled up, his handsome face was like a breath of spring, exuding an indescribable radiance.
He praised, ¡°The Little Princess has quite good taste.¡±
Shi Huanughed.
After all, she¡¯s the woman you deeply love.
¡°Where is she?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked again.
This ¡°she¡± was naturally referring to Mo Weiyi.
Shi Huan responded, ¡°She said she would apany her husband to meet the customers.¡±
As a matter of fact, as soon as they had returned to the banquet hall, Mo Weiyi left immediately.
Being today¡¯s hostess, naturally, she needed to greet the guests, Shi Huan didn¡¯t give it much thought.
However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed to suddenly understand something.
Hehe, this little princess was afraid to meet him, wasn¡¯t she?
He raised his eyebrows, his tongue lightly touched his jaw, and his eyes narrowed mischievously, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing his appearance, Shi Huan couldn¡¯t help but wonder, was he disappointed?
The next second.
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly lifted his noble arm, ¡°In that case, Little Huanhuan, apany your boss to meet the clients, perhaps you¡¯ll run into the Little Princess.¡±
Having prepared a ¡°benefit¡± for him, Chu Xiuhuang thought it would be necessary to thank her, and incidentally¡ provoke her! And provoke Xiao Yebai.
Given an opportunity to stir things up, Chu Xiuhuang never wanted to miss it.
What he did not know was that Shi Huan had been dwelling on how he loved Mo Weiyi but was unable to have her, how his love was too deep to let her go, their love and hate entwined¡
She smiled, hooked his arm, and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
**
In a corner of the bustling banquet hall.
Mo Weiyi, with her arm around Xiao Yebai, had a sweet smile on her beautiful little face.
Even though she didn¡¯t understand, and wasn¡¯t familiar with the people, she was still well aware of what should be done and what should not be done at the anniversary celebration of the Mo Group.
Until¡
¡°Yiyi.¡±
Mo Weiyi turned her head and saw Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing in front of her, with Xu Rui by their side.
Qu Yunyao was wearing a white long dress with a corset, her face made up exquisitely, her long hair carefully pinned back,pletely decked out. Her entire appearance indicated that she had put a great deal of effort into preparing for today¡¯s event.
As for Xu Jing, she had also changed her usual style. However, it wasn¡¯t as exaggerated as Qu Yunyao, she wasn¡¯t wearing any ostentatious jewelry and she wore a conservative light green dress.
And there was no denying that she took very good care of herself. Although she was over forty, she looked just over thirty.
So when they stood together, it wasn¡¯t obvious that they were mother and daughter. Instead, they looked like a pair of beautiful sisters.
¡°Yiyi.¡± After calling her, Qu Yunyao enthusiastically praised, ¡°Yiyi, you look beautiful today.¡±
Mo Weiyi politely returned the smile, ¡°You look beautiful too.¡±
The two sisters interacted in a friendly manner, making Mo Yaoxiong, who was standing beside them, very pleased.
Qu Yunyao gave a polite smile, looking exceptionally charming.
¡°Who are these two?¡± The CEO standing next to them was slightly surprised, and his wife looked curious.
Mo Yaoxiong introduced with a smile, ¡°This is Xu Xian¡¯s younger sister Xu Jing, her daughter Qu Yunyao, and Yunyao¡¯s fianc¨¦, Xu Rui.¡±
¡°I see¡±. The CEO smiled, but his gaze was different.
He had thought that they were some important guest, but it turned out to be Mrs. Mo¡¯s sister and niece.
In such a circumstance, it was tip toeing for these two to show up¡.
Heughed, hinting something.
Xu Jing bowed her head, her face a bit awkward.
Actually, she didn¡¯t want toe today. She always felt that with her status, her presence at Mo¡¯spany¡¯s celebration might draw criticism particrly from some intentionally gossipy folks.
However, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui insisted, arguing that the movie Xu Rui had invested in required more funding. This event was the perfect opportunity to meet some elites and wealthy families in Nancheng, which might lead to potential cooperation opportunities.
Fearing for Yunyao¡¯s pregnancy (only three months along), Xu Jing eventually worried and decided to attend for her sake.
After the CEO and his wife left, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, ¡°By the way, aren¡¯t you two living elsewhere?¡±
As these words hit, the awkwardness on Xu Jing¡¯s face became even more evident.
Qu Yunyao¡¯s face also looked pretty bad.
Last time, due to the scolding of the maid, there was a bit of a conflict with Mo Weiyi. Qu Yunyao had intentionally insisted on moving out and asked Mo Yaoxiong to help them find an apartment through a real estate broker.
Mo Yaoxiong, having grown up in luxury and used tovishness, he also cared for the mother-daughter pair, and he would certainly have agreed to help.
Qu Yunyao had deliberately given a low budget, and those brokers were in the business of what we pay is what we get. With such a low price, the apartments they could offer would definitely be of inferior conditions, unlikely to be satisfactory.
He would certainly have found them unsatisfactory and forbidden their relocation.
Chapter 430: 430, a perfect match made in heaven
Chapter 430: a perfect match made in heaven
As expected, Mo Yaoxiong did not let her down, and she sessfully managed to continue living in the Mo Family up to now.
But this Mo Weiyi, really seems tock any social graces, to straight out ask such a question?
Thankfully, Mo Yaoxiong quickly intervened, ¡°Your aunt has already looked at some houses, she just hasn¡¯t decided yet.¡±
¡°Why not?¡± Mo Weiyi tilted her head, seemingly truly confused,¡±It¡¯s been almost half a month, hasn¡¯t she found a suitable house yet?¡±
Qu Yunyao felt like it was clear that she was ridiculing them for lingering in the Mo Family¡¯s house!
Xu Jing managed a smile,¡±I¡¯ve been busy preparing for final exams at school recently, so I haven¡¯t had much time to look at houses. I¡¯ll start looking tomorrow and move out as soon as I can.¡±
These words sounded somewhat submissive.
Immediately, Qu Yunyao also expressed her grievance,¡±Yiyi, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll apany my mom to look at houses tomorrow.¡±
The elder of the Mo Family furrowed his brows at this.
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s face also showed some displeasure.
Mo Weiyi blurted out, ¡°What does that mean, Yunyao? It sounds like I¡¯m pushing you to move out.¡±
¡°Yiyi, you¡¯re overthinking. I didn¡¯t mean to me you, I was at fault, I shouldn¡¯t have acted impulsively and upset youst time¡¡±
¡°You were scolding usst time for no reason¡¡±
¡°Weiyi.¡± Mo Yaoxiong sternly interrupted his daughter.
What sort of asion is this?
Talking about such trivial matters here for so long, was that necessary?
Mo Weiyi puffed her cheeks out in frustration and fell silent.
¡°We¡¯ll discuss these matters at home.¡± Mo Yaoxiong concluded. He then looked at Xu Jing, ¡°The reception is about to begin, you should go and have something to eat first.¡±
Qu Yunyao gave a polite smile, ¡°Uncle, in that case, we¡¯ll go and eat first.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Xu Rui nodded to the crowd, then turned around, and the three went to the dining area.
However, just after they had sat down and had a few bites, Qu Yunyao suddenly covered her mouth, as if she was going to vomit.
¡°Mom, I feel a bit ufortable, I want to go to the restroom.¡±
Xu Jing said immediately, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±
¡°No need.¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui spoke simultaneously.
Because they were in sync, they looked at each other and smiled. Then Xu Rui said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll apany her.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Xu Jing nodded.
Seeing Xu Rui being so considerate of her daughter, Xu Jing felt slightlyforted as a mother.
When Qu Yunyao reached the entrance of the banquet hall, she suddenly stopped, looking towards the stage.
Mo Weiyi was currently hanging onto Xiao Yebai¡¯s arm, conversing with a pair of elders.
Without a doubt, Mo Weiyi looked extremely beautiful tonight.
The cute red dress made her glow, luxurious and bright, dazzling and charming.
Furthermore, having Xiao Yebai by her side, they made a handsome and beautiful pair, a match made in heaven.
However¡
A hint of malice shed through Qu Yunyao¡¯s eyes.
Mo Weiyi, enjoy the spotlight on you right now, because soon enough, you won¡¯t be able to hold your head high anymore.
In fact, you won¡¯t even be able to¡
smile!
*
*
As the background music started ying, the guests gradually took their seats, and the anniversary reception officiallymenced.
The VIP seats were in the front. The Mo Family upied one table, and the seats for Qu Yunyao, Xu Jing, and Xu Rui were arranged at the adjacent table.
Both the emcees came from Nancheng TV station, speaking perfect Mandarin, and their hosting style was humorous and interesting, quickly raising the atmosphere of the venue.
The first item on the agenda was the screening of a promotional film from the Mo Group. Following the nearly ten-minute presentation was the second segment; speeches from key representatives.
Representing Mo Group was none other than President Xiao Yebai himself.
When he stood on the stage, his schrly and indifferent gaze slowly surveying around, apuse erupted continuously.
Mo Weiyi was sitting in the central VIP seat, busy recording with her mobile phone, she couldn¡¯t help but nick over to her best friend,¡±Tell me, isn¡¯t my husband handsome?¡±
Su Wanwan made a face,¡±Isn¡¯t it enough that you think he¡¯s handsome?¡±
To her, Xiao Yebai was simply too cold.
Think about it, she had known Mo Weiyi since childhood, and therefore got introduced to Xiao Yebai through her best friend when Weiyi was ten. Even though they¡¯ve known each other for ten years, every time they met, he never shared even a smile¡
It was really hard to like him!
Su Wanwan felt that her own husband was much better, at least he wasn¡¯t so cold, and sometimes, he was even warm.
With this thought, she couldn¡¯t help ncing at her husband beside her.
Huo Jingshen was watching the stage, his handsome profile was elegantly gentle, with a perfectly straight nose that resembled a mountain peak, his thin lips pursed slightly, his slightly raised chin showing his firm and somewhat proud features.
Mo Weiyi, standing aside with her phone, continued to take pictures, ¡°Isn¡¯t my husband so handsome!? Absolutely stunning!¡±
Su Wanwan nodded in agreement.
Yeah, my hubby is so handsome!
Absolutely stunning!
¡
Xiao Yebai¡¯s speech was not long.
He sinctly summed up the development of Mo Family over the past fifty years, as well as future prospects, and thanked some of the attendees at the end before he stepped off the stage.
¡°Thank you, CEO Xiao,¡± the host said, taking the stage with a microphone.
Mo Weiyi immediately went to him,¡± Xiaobai, you¡ ¡±
¡°Mr. Xiao.¡± Suddenly, a man¡¯s voice interrupted her.
Mo Weiyi instantly put on an unhappy face.
It was Xu Rui.
He held up a ss of wine and said very respectfully, ¡°Mr. Xiao, may I interrupt you for a few minutes?¡±
Mo Weiyi thought Xiao Yebai would refuse, given that the banquet had just begun but¡
¡°Alright.¡±
Xiao Yebai rose from his chair.
Not only was Mo Weiyi surprised, so was Xu Rui.
He had been expecting to persuade Xiao Yebai further and didn¡¯t expect Xiao Yebai to agree so readily.
He was ted and quickly followed him to the back.
As he was passing the table next to him, he gave a casual nce at Qu Yunyao who was seated there.
As soon as the two left, Qu Yunyao sat there, watching performance on the stage, her lips tugged upwards in a smirk.
She had been waiting for this day for too long.
She had to lie to Xu Rui again about her being pregnant after being unexpectedly exposed by that old traditional Chinese doctor and convinced him to continue with the y, following which, she rearranged all her ns.
Finally, she chose today, the 50th anniversary of the Mo Group, for the grand confrontation!
As almost all the noble families of Nancheng and many journalists were attending today, if anyone found her and Xiao Yebai in a ndestine rendezvous, and if they were exposed, even if Xiao Yebai was innocent, he would be left without a defense!
Who would need any photographs?
WeChat, text message records?
No evidence was more convincing and shocking than what you see with your own eyes!
So, as long as Xu Rui gets Xiao Yebai to drink the aphrodisiac, she¡¯ll find him in the rear garden when he falls unconscious. With Xu Rui shouting out to everyone while the two were in the midst of the act¡
Suddenly, the banquet hall burst intoughter.
Qu Yunyao snapped back to reality, watching the humorous performance on stage, she too startedughing along, only hers was over exaggerated, attracting the attention of Xu Jing who was sitting next to her.
What¡¯s wrong with this girl?
Did she lower her sense of humor threshold?
¡
About ten minutester, finally, her phone vibrated.
Upon checking her phone swiftly, Qu Yunyao said, ¡°Mum, I¡¯m going to the restroom.¡±
Xu Jing hurriedly responded, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need, I¡¯ll go by myself,¡± Qu Yunyao refused.
However, Xu Jing was worried, ¡°You¡¯re pregnant now, I don¡¯t feel safe.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I will walk slowly, it won¡¯t be a problem. Rx mom, there are bodyguards all around, what¡¯s there to worry about?¡±
Xu Jing: ¡°¡¡±
Well, that makes sense.
Today, Mo Yaoxiong moved all the bodyguards from the Mo mansion to this venue, apart from them, there are also security personnel from the hotel ensuring the smooth functioning of the anniversary.
She nodded, ¡°Then, be careful and watch your step.¡±
¡°I know.¡± Smiling, Qu Yunyao left.
Stepping out of the banquet hall, Xu Rui was already waiting for her in the corner of the corridor.
¡°Yunyao.¡± He eagerly approached, ncing around nervously, ¡°Nobody noticed, right?¡±
Qu Yunyao shook her head, ¡°Where is my brother-inw?¡±
¡°In the rear garden.¡± lowering his voice, Xu Rui said, ¡°He has already drunk that ss of wine. He said he was feeling dizzy, so I said I would call Miss Mo for him, he didn¡¯t suspect anything. You must go at once.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Qu Yunyao¡¯s voice was shaking slightly from the excitement, ¡°Call everyone over in 10 minutes.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
As soon as Xu Rui walked back into the banquet hall as if nothing had happened, Qu Yunyao quickly turned and headed towards the rear, finally arriving at the small garden behind the banquet hall.
Under the gloomy overhead lighting, she noticed Xiao Yebai sitting by a rose pir on a wooden chair.
Despite the cold wind, there was a faint sweet scent lingering in the air.
A faint aroma of alcohol could also be sensed.
Chapter 431: 431, please get into the jar
Chapter 431: please get into the jar
The man was dressed in a ck suit, but due to the effects of the drug, he was now lying there, seemingly very ufortable.
Qu Yunyao pinched her fingers and slowly walked over.
¡°Brother-inw?¡±
Xiao Yebaiy there, not uttering a word.
¡°Are you drunk?¡± Qu Yunyao lifted her hand, cing it on Xiao Yebai¡¯s shoulder.
The man still did not speak, but neither did he resist.
This medicine would cause dizziness, grogginess, and even hallucinations.
This was the borate n of Qu Yunyao as the goal today was to let everyone discover them here!
She leaned down, roughly ripping open the cor, about to grasp the man¡¯s hand¡
But the man suddenly turned around and embraced her.
Qu Yunyao was somewhat taken aback.
Could this medicine be more potent than the medicine she had bought previously?
Or did he mistake her for Mo Weiyi?
Remembering Xu Rui saying he was going to call Mo Weiyi earlier¡
That must be it.
Qu Yunyao was instantly thrilled.
Excitement caused her to overlook many details.
She slowly closed her eyes¡
It was the back garden, outdoors and a deep night in January, the temperature was very low, and it was very cold.
It had been more than three months since thest time in Haicheng, a moment of hesitation shed through her mind.
She was now pregnant, she couldn¡¯t afford any mishap, let alone take such risks.
Andter on, Xu Rui would call everyone from the banquet hall, many journalists were present today, if they take pictures¡
No!
She cannot afford such a scandal!
What on earth was she doing now?
Did she lose her mind?
Qu Yunyao came to her senses, immediately raised her hand to push him away, ¡°No¡ ¡±
But the man¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, ¡°What do you mean no? Baby, do you forget me so soon?¡±
Hearing this vulgar yet somehow familiar voice, Qu Yunyao¡¯s eyes widened sharply.
In the dim light, she finally recognized the man¡¯s fat face.
It was actually Zhang Dechang!
How could it be him?
Qu Yunyao was so shocked that she felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe.
She struggled hard and shouted, ¡°Let me go, you bastard¡¡±
But why would the man release her now?
He chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s been three months since west saw each other, I¡¯ve missed you terribly. Rest assured, no one wille over here ha ha ha ha¡¡±

The banquet hall was currently bothvish and boisterous. As the party heated up, the waiters began serving food.
The food carts continued along the corridor, when passing by the back garden, someone suddenly heard a strange noise.
The waiters exchanged nces before quickly pushing the food cart away.
They knew certain adults liked to seek stimtion in private, but today was the Mo Group¡¯s anniversary. The guests were reputable individuals from Nancheng, here they are, having an illicit rendezvous in the back garden?
¡°So shameless!¡±
¡°Indeed, aren¡¯t they afraid of being discovered?¡±
¡°Should we go and tell the manager?¡±
¡°So many journalists are here today, it¡¯s going to be so embarrassing if they get photographed!¡±
¡°If they don¡¯t care about their reputation in the first ce, why fear about being disgraced?¡±
A few people hesitated for a moment while the noises from that area became louder.
As for Xu Rui, his original n was to call everyone in the garden to catch them 10 minutester, but going by himself would arouse suspicion.
After all, Qu Yunyao was his fianc¨¦e, no one would call others to catch his fianc¨¦e, right?
Not to mention that Xiao Yebai having an affair with his future sister-inw and getting caught on the day of the Mo Group¡¯s anniversary, losing face to such a degree. If the Mo family investigatester, he, the informant, wouldn¡¯t be able to escape me.
Mind you, considering Qu Yunyao had already had an incident with Xiao Yebai before, having one more wouldn¡¯t make any difference for him.
Yes.
Xu Rui now held no feelings for Qu Yunyao.
In the past, he had felt that Qu Yunyao was inherently conservative and young, and so, he had never touched her.
But ever since Qu Yunyao started having an affair with Xiao Yebai, his feelings for her changedpletely.
No man likes to be cuckolded, even if the woman is only his fianc¨¦e in name.
Why not let someone else do the dirty work?
So he returned to the banquet hall, made a round, and came back quickly, standing in the hallway, waiting for the whispered conversations of the waitstaff to reach his ears. Pretending to be curious, he asked, ¡°What are you discussing?¡±
The waitstaff were startled and looked at him, not daring to speak.
Xu Rui feigned to listen for a moment, then immediately said, ¡°What are you all standing around for, hurry up and get someone from the hall!¡±
The waitstaff were even more astonished.
Get someone?
Are you sure?
¡°Hurry up! Can¡¯t you hear that woman screaming for help? What if something happens to her?¡± Xu Rui shouted fiercely.
After listening carefully, the staff realized it was indeed so.
It really did sound like the woman was repeatedly crying for help ¨C something was wrong!
So they hurriedly ran to the banquet hall for help.
Xu Rui turned around, but hid himself in a discreet spot.
From the garden, the sound of Qu Yunyao¡¯s screams for help drifted into his ears, each one more chilling and desperate than thest.
*
*
About five minutester, the neatly dressed lobby manager led several security personnel, all holding shlights, and rushed out.
Such matters tend to leak out easily. Nobody knew who¡¯d slipped, but swarm after swarm of journalists chased behind them into the garden like locusts.
Xu Rui quickly stepped out and followed the crowd to see what was happening.
¡°Ah! Don¡¯t take pictures, get away! Don¡¯t take pictures¡!¡± Qu Yunyao¡¯s voice rang out hysterically.
But the journalists didn¡¯t care; they aimed their cameras at the two people on the bench and snapped away.
Their shlights were incessantly shing.
The banquet guests were also incessantly filming with their phones. Some had even opened up a live streaming tform to broadcast the event.
Qu Yunyao¡¯s cries were so loud that it quickly stirred all the people in the banquet hall.
While Shi Huan was in amazement, someone suddenly gripped her hand.
Chu Xiuhuang smiled slyly at her, ¡°Little Huanhuan, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s watch the fun with the boss.¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Could she not go?
Seeing Shi Huan being led away to watch the fun, Su Wanwan also rose to her feet but was grabbed by Huo Jingshen.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Su Wanwan was almost in tears.
¡°Did you not get enough from thest experience a few days ago?¡±
Su Wanwan paused, only then realizing he was referring to the incident that had happened at the club recently when Xia Jiani was caught in the restroom.
But¡
Even Mo Weiyi has gone to see what¡¯s happening!
Looking pitiful, Su Wanwan begged, ¡°Can I just take a look, just one nce?¡±
Seeing the empty banquet hall, Huo Jingshen relented, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°¡¡± Su Wanwan was on the verge of tears.
Could she not go home?
She also wants to watch the fun!
*
*
In the garden, the reporters were going wild.
It was the Mo Group¡¯s anniversary today. As reporters, their jobs were supposed to be just a walk in the park, with easy money at the end of it. No one expected such a juicy incident to crop up right at the end of the event ¨C it was an unexpected bonus!
The reporters jostled in front while guests encircled them from outside, forming severalyers.
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t get to the front and was getting anxious. Suddenly, Xu Rui¡¯s voice boomed, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Mr. Xiao?¡±
His words stunned everyone around.
Mr. Xiao?
Xiao Yebai?
Oh my God, this is big news!
Mo Weiyi¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± she asked.
Xu Rui swallowed nervously, exining, ¡°I was just having a drink and discussing business with Mr. Xiao here. I had to leave first because I received a phone call, but Mr. Xiao didn¡¯t return¡¡±
He didn¡¯t finish the rest of his sentence.
But such a suggestive hint was more inclined to induce spection.
Chapter 432: 432, catch one in the act
Chapter 432: catch one in the act
¡°Really? True?¡±
¡°President Xiao and a woman are doing that sort of thing in the back garden?¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be right?¡±
¡°Exactly, today is Mo Family¡¯s anniversary!¡±
¡°Seriously, why now of all times?¡±
¡°Quick, let¡¯s go check it out!¡±
¡°Hurry¡¡±
Just as everyone was wildly specting¡
¡°What happened?¡± Amanding baritone suddenly rang out.
Everybody was taken aback.
Mo Weiyi let out an internal cheer, quickly turned around and said, ¡°Xiaobai!¡±
Xiao Yebai was standing in the corridor at the back, still in his previous ck suit, his thin lips tightly pressed together. Under the dim light, his stunning features held a distant air.
Mo Weiyi ran up to him, clung to his arm, tilted her head, looked into his eyes sweetly yet pitifully and asked, ¡°Where did you go just now?¡±
¡°I had a bit of alcohol just now then suddenly felt dizzy, so I went to the back for some rest. However, your noise woke me up,¡± Xiao Yebai exined lightly.
Mo Weiyi nodded.
So that was it.
¡°Director Xu.¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s gazended on Xu Rui, his tone indifferent as usual, ¡°What happened?¡±
Xu Rui waspletely stunned.
Why did Xiao Yebaie from there?
Who then was the man with Qu Yunyao?
His back felt cold and eerie. In the next second, he abruptly turned around, forcefully pushed his way through the crowd, and rushed in.
Caught in the middle of a swarm of reporters were two people scrambling and flustering.
Zhang Dechang was trembling in the cold wind.
Qu Yunyao, as for her, her white evening gown had beenpletely torn into shreds¡
Her face and limbs were littered with various injuries, the most terrifying of which was that she was bleeding¡
¡°Who on earth are these two people?¡±
¡°They¡¯re shameless!¡±
¡°Are they actually bleeding?¡±
¡°Have they taken some kind of drug?¡±
¡°The Mo family is so unlucky, how could they invite such guests?¡±
¡°It ispletely embarrassing!¡±
¡°¡¡±
Xu Rui rushed over, seized the man¡¯s cor, and rained punches down on him.
He was furious.
He had seen Xiao Yebai drink the spiked drink. He had waited until it took effect before rushing back to summon Qu Yunyao.
He¡¯d nned and arranged for so long, thinking tonight he could achieve his goal, but now¡
A fat pig who ran out stole his thunder?
His fury transformed into punches that pounded ruthlessly into the man¡¯s face with no restraint.
Being seized in the act had scared Zhang Dechang to the point of nearly fainting. Being photographed by so many reporters, he felt guilty and terrified. He had absolutely no ability to resist.
Soon, his face turned a violent purple and red from the beating, eyes swollen, nose bleeding profusely.
Qu Yunyao was desperately holding onto bits of fabric.
Ashamed and embarrassed, coupled with a painful stomach, she wished she could find a hole and crawl into it.
Where could she hide? People were all around her and news reporters were filming with their cameras while security officers were lighting up the ce with torches.
¡°Yunyao?¡±
Qu Yunyao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Looking up, she saw Xu Jing standing there in shock.
Standing beside her was Mo Yaoxiong. Further away stood the indifferent Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi.
It¡¯s all over¡
Qu Yunyao couldn¡¯t even think. Tears flooded her eyes as she cried out, ¡°Mom, you have to stand up for me ¡¡±
Xu Jing rushed forward and held her daughter tight.
Then she red at Zhang Dechang, using him angrily, ¡°Are you even human? My daughter is pregnant! How dare you take advantage of someone¡¯s vulnerability! You¡¯re no better than an animal!¡±
The onlooking guests suddenly broke out into an uproar.
¡°Is she pregnant?¡±
¡°So she was forced by this man?¡±
¡°Did this man take some drugs?¡±
¡°Even going after pregnant women?¡±
¡°It¡¯s pitiful!¡±
¡°She¡¯s really unfortunate¡¡±
¡°Call the police and arrest this arrogant jerk!¡±
¡°¡¡±
Mo Weiyi clung to Xiao Yebai¡¯s arm, her face pale with fright.
Although she¡¯d always disliked Qu Yunyao¡¯s hypocritical behavior, witnessing her attacked by such a disgusting man while she was pregnant, made her pity her.
Mo Yaoxiong immediately instructed the bodyguard, ¡°Tie up the man and take him to the police station!¡±
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and took hold of Zhang Dechang.
Zhang Dechang caught sight of Mo Yaoxiong as if he¡¯d suddenly been shocked awake, he cried out loudly, ¡°Chairman, it¡¯s a misunderstanding! She started it. I didn¡¯t force her. Really, I didn¡¯t! Chairman, Chairman, let me exin¡¡±
Xu Jing¡¯s eyes reddened with fury, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t nder someone! My daughter is three months pregnant, how could she possibly seduce you? You clearly had ill intentions. You¡¯re no better than an animal!¡±
Zhang Dechang shouted desperately, ¡°The child in her womb is mine!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Xu Jing widened her eyes.
Qu Yunyao was even more terrified, her face turning pale.
The spectators once again set off an uproar:
¡°What on earth is going on?¡±
¡°Still messing around while pregnant, how shameless!¡±
¡°I see she¡¯s bleeding!¡±
¡°They¡¯re simply disgraceful!¡±
¡°How unfeeling¡¡±
Chapter 433: 433, expose ugliness on the spot
Chapter 433: expose ugliness on the spot
This world nevercks onlookers who love to watch the drama, even if those present today are all big shots whose names are well known in Nancheng.
Zhang Dechang viciously wiped off his nosebleed, then took out his phone from his pocket, ¡°You don¡¯t believe me, is that it? Fine, I¡¯ll let you see now who is shameless, who seduced me!¡±
After saying this, he found the video, yed it at maximum volume, and held up his phone high so that everyone could see clearly.
In the video, Qu Yunyao¡
It was simply unbearable to watch.
Xu Jing felt like all her blood was flowing backward, rushing to her forehead. She couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, raising her hand and fiercely pping her straight across the face.
¡°Ah!¡±
Qu Yunyao let out a pitiful scream.
She fell onto a chair to the side, hitting her belly hard, which hurt terribly. But she couldn¡¯t care less about the pain at this point, immediately scrambling up to grab Xu Jing, trying to exin, ¡°Mom, I did not, I was wrong, this man is deliberately framing me¡ listen to me exin¡¡±
¡°Exin? What is there to exin? I¡¯ve seen the video!¡± Xu Jing¡¯s beautiful eyes were bloodshot. She grit her teeth in hatred, hearticked, ¡°How did I educate you and why would you do such a thing¡ you have really disappointed me!¡±
¡°No wonder you refused to admit that you were pregnant before. As it turns out, this child is not even Xu Rui¡¯s, how many things have you been hiding from me?¡±
Xu Jing, unable to hold back, delivered another p, ¡°You are messing around with men, once is tolerate, today, in this setting, you are actually doing this here ¡ you ¡ you are shameless!¡±
¡°Do you even understand what you are doing? How did I give birth to such a shameless daughter? What did I do to deserve this in myst life¡¡±
Xu Jing continued to p Qu Yunyao.
You Yunyao could only hug her, unable to say a word.
All she knew was to cry, incessantly crying, wailing and crying, crying her heart out.
Because this time it¡¯s over!
She is truly finished!
No chance of redemption!
But she could not understand why Zhang Dechang suddenly appeared here.
A lot of time had passed, and she hadpletely forgotten about this man¡¯s existence.
He was far away in Haicheng, out of sight out of mind. Only the two of them knew about this incident, she thought¡
¡°Qu Yunyao!¡± Xu Rui suddenly rushed over with an angry face, using her, ¡°You actually dared to deceive me!¡±
¡°Xu Rui.¡± Qu Yunyao¡¯s face was covered in tears, obviously wronged, and she tried to exin again, ¡°You know that at that time, I ¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to hear it!¡± Xu Rui interrupted her directly, ¡°You actually messed around with such an old man behind my back. You have truly disgusted me! Every time I see you now, I want to vomit! Break up, we are breaking up immediately! Nevere and find me again, we are done!¡±
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Xu Rui was a clever person.
If he didn¡¯t leave now, when would he?
At this moment, the crowd would only think that he had been cuckolded, and left in anger and embarrassment, even gaining their sympathy.
No matter where things went wrong, based on the video just now, it was clear that Qu Yunyao had been involved with that man!
She had been lying to him all along!
Treating him like an idiot and using him!
Luckily he hadn¡¯t impulsively shown the fake photos and chat records earlier, otherwise, he would have been ruined by this woman!
¡°Shi Kang, stop the video and arrest that man!¡± Mo Yaoxiong ordered sternly.
¡°Chairman, it was really her who seduced me first, in Haichengst time she was sending me signals, and she entered my room willingly. Just now I was resting here, and she came over and hugged me ¡¡±
Zhang Dechang was still shouting, but the phone was quickly taken away and turned off, and those unbearable sounds finally stopped.
After the bodyguards took him away, the guests were still chatting loudly. Suddenly, a woman¡¯s voice rang, ¡°Isn¡¯t she the Mo family¡¯s niece?¡±
Xu Jing was taken aback.
The other people were instantly reminded by this sentence.
¡°So, she did such shameless things on her rtive¡¯s asion?¡±
¡°She is simply a B**ch!¡±
¡°How could the Mo family have such a rtive?¡±
¡°She looked so pure in the banquet hall just now, I didn¡¯t expect her to be so shameless privately!¡±
¡°She really has no shame!¡±
In an instant, Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s expression became even worse.
Luckily Mr. Mo was not feeling well, and returned early after Xiao Yebai gave his speech. Otherwise, with his explosive temper, he would surely fall ill again owing to this disgrace!
The guests kept mocking sarcastically. The scene seemed to be getting out of control.
Mo Weiyi frowned at the scene and couldn¡¯t help speaking up, ¡°Xiaobai, I want to go home.¡±
She doesn¡¯t want to stay here for even another minute.
Previously, she only thought Qu Yunyao was a hypocritical, petty, and somewhat deceitful person. However, she never imagined that she would be messing around with a man in his forties, and not only once.
That man was old, ugly, and fat. What was she after?
Mo Weiyi couldn¡¯t figure it out and felt even more humiliated.
Xiao Yebai took her to leave. Just as they had walked a few steps, they suddenly heard a woman¡¯s scream from behind.
¡°It hurts¡ it hurts so much¡ save me¡ my stomach hurts¡¡±
Qu Yunyao fell to the ground clutching her stomach, moaning in pain from her mouth.
When the security guard shone his shlight, he found out that her legs were already soaked in blood. New blood that was almost ck began to flow out quickly, and the ground around her was quickly soaked with fresh blood. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood¡
Xu Jing just felt a ¡°boom¡± in her head, and her body swayed badly.
A woman yelled, ¡°The pregnant woman is bleeding!¡±
¡°She must have hurt the fetus!¡±
¡°She deserved it!¡±
¡°She dared to have sex here while pregnant, does she not want to live?¡±
¡°She¡¯s been bleeding for so long, the baby must not be saved!¡±
¡°Send her to the hospital quickly!¡±
¡°Call 120!¡±
For a while, the scene was again in chaos.
The grand anniversary celebration, due to this scandal, had to end prematurely.
*
*
One hourter.
Nangong Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on the eighth floor.
In the corridor, Xu Jing was sitting with her head down, crying uncontrobly.
Apanying her was only Mo Yaoxiong.
As time trickled by, the sound of a door opening was heard.
Xu Jing quickly lifted her head, and upon seeing the doctor and nurse emerge, she stood up and approached them, ¡°Doctor.¡±
The doctor adjusted his sses, his face devoid of expression. ¡°The child is gone. Please ept my condolences.¡±
Xu Jing asked, ¡°How¡¯s my daughter now?¡±
¡°The pregnant woman was already weak, and she lost a lot of blood. The uterus was damaged when the fetus was removed. Her chances of conceiving in the future may be lower. But don¡¯t worry too much, the priority now is to help the pregnant woman recuperate. She should rest in bed during her hospital stay and maintain a stable mood¡¡±
Xu Jing covered her mouth, started crying before the doctor even finished talking.
As a woman, she knew just how much damage a miscarriage could do to a woman¡¯s uterus.
She felt bad for her daughter, but she was even more heartbroken about her daughter¡¯sck of self-care. The conflicting emotions were almost crushing her.
Mo Yaoxiong frowned heavily, and after the doctor left, he could onlyfort her, ¡°Don¡¯t overthink for now, just take good care of her.¡±
Crying, Xu Jing said, ¡°Brother-inw, I¡¯m sorry¡ Today Yunyao has disgraced you, it¡¯s all my fault, I failed to discipline her¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong sighed.
The disgrace had been caused. Was there any use in apologizing?
He just didn¡¯t expect that Qu Yunyao, who seemed so innocent on the outside, could conduct herself like this in private.
Before this, she was thought to be pregnant with Xu Rui¡¯s child before marriage, which was already hard enough to ept. But now it turns out she was fooling around with a man in his forties from a branchpany.
And if that wasn¡¯t enough, they couldn¡¯t even wait till they got home!
Their sexual escapade was caught on tape and seen by everyone!
¡
By the time Qu Yunyao was pushed into the ward by a nurse, Mo Yaoxiong didn¡¯t stay much longer and quickly returned to the manor.
It was already 10 pm. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he was hurriedly called into the old master¡¯s residence by Uncle Shi.
Mo Yaoxiong still didn¡¯t know what was going on. Once inside, old master Mo directly tossed a phone onto the table, ¡°This is Manager Zhang¡¯s phone. Look at the video inside.¡±
Mo Yaoxiong frowned, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve seen it already.¡±
Old master Mo¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Watch the one at the back!¡±
Mo Yaoxiong had no choice but to pick up the phone.
There were two videos inside. The first one was the one that had just been shown in the back garden.
As for the second one¡
As soon as Mo Yaoxiong started ying it, he heard Qu Yunyao frantically calling out, ¡°brother-inw¡¡±
He quickly pressed stop.
¡°Dad, this¡¡±
Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s face turned red. He couldn¡¯t believe what he just heard.
Was Qu Yunyao just calling for Xiao Yebai?
Did she have feelings for Xiao Yebai?
Old Master Mo spoke up in a frosty tone, ¡°Uncle Shi has already packed up their belongings. Tell Xu Jing that they won¡¯t be allowed to stay in this house anymore.¡±
¡°I understand.¡± Mo Yaoxiong was shocked.
He was grateful that Zhang Dechang had only yed the first video earlier. If the second video had been yed publicly as well, exposing that the younger sister was coveting her elder sister¡¯s husband while residing in the same house, that would be¡
After a moment of thought, he quickly added, ¡°Dad, Weiyi and Yebai still don¡¯t know about this. I think¡¡±
¡°You think Yebai doesn¡¯t know?¡± Old Master Mo coldly interrupted him.
¡°Dad.¡± Mo Yaoxiong¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, ¡°Do you mean¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already been in touch with the media. No wind of tonight¡¯s incident will leak out.¡±
Old Master Mo¡¯s jaws were tightened, under the bright lights, his face was ominously somber, almost scarily so. ¡°Find an excuse to send Qu Yunyao abroad immediately.¡±
No matter what the truth of the matter was, Qu Yunyao could no longer stay in Nancheng.
No woman who harbors desires for Xiao Yebai may remain, no matter who it might be!
¡°I understand.¡± Mo Yaoxiong could only agree.
*

Lishui Bay Vi.
The moment Mo Weiyi arrived home, she received a phone call from her best friend, gossiping about the night¡¯s events.
Mo Weiyi told everything that happened, and finally said, ¡°I just asked my dad, and he said the child was lost, and this may affect her ability to conceive in the future.¡±
After talking for a while, when Xiao Yebai came out of the bathroom, she said immediately, ¡°I have to hang up now.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Xiaobai, are you still feeling dizzy?¡± Mo Weiyi stood up and looked at Xiao Yebai worriedly.
Earlier in the banquet hall, he said he felt dizzy. On the way back, he didn¡¯t seem to be in high spirits and had been resting for quite a while.
¡°Much better.¡± Xiao Yebai put on his sses.
Back in the garden, he did indeed take a sip of that ss of wine. But because the light was dim and Xu Rui had ulterior motives, he only took two sips before quickly pouring out the rest.
When he returned, he drank a lot of tea to dilute the effect of the drug. He was no longer experiencing any negative side effects.
Mo Weiyi nodded and asked, ¡°Was that man, Manager Zhang, whom we metst time in Haicheng?¡±
She remembered that when they arrived at the banquet hall, Qu Yunyao left not long after and Zhang Dechang also left. The next day, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui took a ne back to Nancheng. Was that when Zhang Dechang and Qu Yunyao got together?
¡°I remember he has a wife and children, right? He¡¯s already in his forties, yet he could do something like that, with people all around, in broad daylight, like that. His clothes were¡¡±
¡°You saw it?¡± Xiao Yebai interrupted her suddenly.
Mo Weiyi was stunned, ¡°What?¡±
¡°You saw him undressed?¡±
Mo Weiyi immediately shook her head, ¡°No, when I saw it, he had already dressed, and then you came out.¡±
Hearing this, Xiao Yebai pursed his lips.
HIs move was fleeting.
But Mo Weiyi was quick to catch it, teasingly saying, ¡°Hey, Xiaobai, don¡¯t worry. Even if I did see it, I wouldn¡¯t be interested in other men.¡±
Chapter 434: 434, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [Welfare]
Chapter 434: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [Welfare]
But Mo Weiyi quickly answered with a grin, ¡°Oh, Xiaobai, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t be interested in other men.¡±
Xiao Yebai: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Because I¡¯m only interested in you!¡± Mo Weiyi finished and couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Back when she was in school, although it was the period of youthful innocence, the education on that aspect was very ambiguous, forcing her to get Rong An to buy a bunch of stuff to study.
However¡
It turns out that ¡°beauty is in the eye of the beholder¡± is indeed a valid statement.
Because Xiao Yebai is the man she likes, she truly believes he is perfect.
As she was thinking about it, her beautiful cat-like eyes were looking towards Xiao Yebai.
Xiao Yebai was wearing casual home clothes, loose and rxed, and he was currently sitting at the head of the bed, with the tablemp on, reading a thick book.
A studious man is naturally charming, and the scene of him wearing sses while engrossed in his book is even more refined and handsome.
Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, ¡°Xiaobai.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at the book in his hand without moving an inch, and his gaze never budged at all.
He had no idea that in such a short span of time, many thoughts had gone through Mo Weiyi¡¯s mind.
¡°Xiaobai, I want to¡¡±
Xiao Yebai lifted his head, still maintaining a detached and cool demeanor, ¡°What do you want?¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
Why was this Xiaobai as wooden as a nk!
There was no emotional connection at all!
Xiao Yebai slightly raised his handsome eyebrows, and looked at her expression, seemingly confused.
¡
¡°Who gave you that?¡± Xiao Yebai continued to ask.
Mo Weiyi had no choice but to honestly confess, ¡°It¡¯s from the time when you celebrated your birthday, I asked Wanwan for it.¡±
However, she didn¡¯t need it at the time, and today she just¡
¡°Stay away from her in the future.¡± Xiao Yebai ordered.
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡Okay.¡±
¡
Su Wanwan didn¡¯t even know that she had been mysteriously cklisted.
She sent a WeChat message to Shi Huan, asking if she had seen the excitement.
Unexpectedly, Shi Huan, this straightforward girl, actually sent back several photos.
And the photos were quite revealing.
Oh my gosh.
Su Wanwan took a nce and immediately deleted them.
They were eye-popping!
How could this cousin of Mo Weiyi be so indelicate?
She¡¯s already three months pregnant, but she¡¯s fooling around with men in the back garden of the banquet hall, and she ended up being caught in the act by so many people, causing her to have a miscarriage.
This incident isn¡¯t just her own embarrassment, it¡¯s also making the whole Mo family a topic of discussion among Nancheng¡¯s public for quite some time!
Even if the news is suppressed, with so many people present today, the news will definitely leak.
Su Wanwan casually opened Weibo and the forums, and posts were already pouring out.
Until Shi Huan sent another WeChat message, [These photos are requested by Mr. Chu.]
Su Wenwen: ¡°¡¡±
And then.
[Can you give me Miss Mo¡¯s WeChat? I want to return her dress and jewelry.]
Su Wanwan simply created a WeChat group, pulling Shi Huan and Mo Weiyi in.
At that moment, Shi Huan was still downstairs in the banquet hall.
She @mentioned Mo Weiyi for a while in the group with no response, checked the time, and figured she might already be resting.
When she looked up again, Chu Xiuhuang was still talking to Gu Huai¡¯an.
When the banquet ended, Chu Xiuhuang told her to wait here, so she¡¯d been waiting for half an hour already.
She got up to change out of the dress, but after only two steps¡
¡°Stop!¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s voice suddenly called out.
Shi Huan had no choice but to stop and turn around, ¡°Mr. Chu.¡±
¡°What are you doing?¡± Chu Xiuhuang put his hands in his suit pockets, his face slightly gloomy, giving her a disgruntled look.
She was ready to run away after turning a blind eye? Very naughty!
Shi Huan said, ¡°I want to go and change this dress.¡±
¡°Take me back to the hospital first.¡±
¡°¡Okay.¡± Shi Huan ended up following him towards the elevator.
Once they got into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement level, she immediately opened her bag, and took out a down jacket.
The underground parking garage was very cold, especially now that it was already past ten at night, it was simply freezing.
Chapter 435: 435, Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold
Chapter 435: Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold
¡°What are you doing again?¡± Chu Xiuhuang once again put forth his displeased question.
Shi Huan was holding onto a pile of clothes, ¡°It¡¯s too cold, I¡¯m putting them on first.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang nced at her with a sarcastically sweet tone, ¡°Am I not cold?¡±
¡°But I only brought my clothes.¡±
¡°So do you think this is appropriate?¡±
¡°I was wrong.¡± Shi Huan immediately apologized.
When they arrived, they parked directly on the red carpet at the entrance, and Chu Xiuhuang was dressed in a suit and she was carrying the bag, so¡
Shi Huan quickly handed over the clothes, ¡°Mr. Chu, you wear it out of necessity.¡±
Who knew Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyes would narrow again, looking very displeased, ¡°Do you think your clothes would fit someone of my height?¡±
Shi Huan was a bit speechless, ¡°So Mr. Chu, what do you really want?¡±
¡°If I don¡¯t wear it, you¡¯re not allowed to wear it. If we¡¯re cold, we¡¯re cold together! Apany me!¡± Mr. Chu shamelessly stated.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
She looked at him, not saying anything.
The elevator quickly arrived and opened up.
Just as Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, a slight smirk ying on his lips, preparing to walk out with her¡
Shi Huan suddenly spread out her down jacket and slipped it onto her body.
Chu Xiuhuang twitched at the corners of his mouth, his long, narrow eyes firmly squinted together, just ring coldly down at her.
Until she zipped up her down jacket, properly d and warm, he maintained his original posture without a change.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Shi Huan stretched out her hand to block it and kindly reminded, ¡°Mr. Chu, we¡¯re already at the basement level, aren¡¯t you getting out?¡±
¡°My eyes aren¡¯t blind!¡± Chu Xiuhuang finished and walked out briskly as if blowing off steam.
This damn woman!
Did she just blink before putting on that down jacket?
Didn¡¯t she have a shred of empathy that he was also a person who could freeze out here?
Chu Xiuhuang was pretty mad.
But right after stepping out of the corridor, a chilly wind blew through¡
God damn it!
It¡¯s actually so cold!
The effect was immediate; young master Chu, now just in his thin three-piece suit, was instantly even more furious.
He¡¯s freezing to death!
God damn it!
The woman¡¯s tiny retreating footsteps sounded from behind him, ¡°Mr. Chu, it¡¯s really too cold here. You should wait in the corridor and I¡¯ll go bring the car over.¡±
Regardless, Chu Xiuhuang did not stop his feet and walked forward with long strides.
The basement parking lot was truly cold at this moment, and especially around the corner where the air venty. Shi Huan could even hear the howling wind.
She tightened her down jacket, feeling that the bare half of her leg exposed to the cold wind was about to turn to ice, and probably could break off with a knock of a hammer¡
¡°Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu, where are you going?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang ignored her, his long legs carrying him swiftly onwards.
Shi Huan quickly raised the car key in her hand, ¡°Mr. Chu, I have the car key, Mr. Chu!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang still ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows.
Forget it.
She pressed the car key, followed the sign to the left, kept walking forward, and soon, the ck Cayenne in front of her emitted a pleasant response sound.
¡°I found the car, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu! Quickly,e here Mr. Chu!¡±
Shi Huan was getting a headache, feeling her goal to preserve her voice going astray, but Chu Xiuhuang seemed to have not heard anything. He just kept walking, non-stop¡
This jerk!
Finally, at the front where it seemed he couldn¡¯t proceed any further, the man¡¯s figure stopped, then turned around and began to walk back.
Shi Huan, suppressing an urge to roll her eyes, secretly grumbled.
With Mr. Chu¡¯s proud and aloof personality, she didn¡¯t know which poor girl will be unfortunate enough to be Mrs. Chu in the future?
Another gust of chilling wind blew fiercely.
It was really too cold, and Shi Huan couldn¡¯t bother to think anymore. She quickly opened the car door and jumped in.
However¡
When she lifted her head, she noticed in the rearview mirror that Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s figure had stopped again.
What happened now?
Shi Huan started the engine, turned on the heater, and kept her beautiful eyes on the rearview mirror, noticing that he hadn¡¯t moved at all.
She was utterly puzzled. This Mr. Chu¡ Did he freeze stupid?
**
Chu Xiuhuang stood there, his tall and handsome silhouette was gloomy and dark.
This damn woman, actually didn¡¯t wait for him who was still suffering in the cold, and jumped in the car herself?
Or was she going to drive back to pick him up?
Yet he stood there, waiting for quite a while ¡
God damn it!
The car hasn¡¯t moved!
But he couldn¡¯t bear the piercing cold of the cold wind¡
Chu Xiuhuang, dark-faced, finally walked over, and swung the passenger door open.
By then, Shi Huan had already turned on the heater and turned around upon hearing the noise, ¡°Mr. Chu.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang was indeed very angry but as soon as he looked at her face¡
Whether it was because the car¡¯s interior lights were too bright, that lightly made up face looked incredibly beautiful. She was titled her head up, her paired almond eyes, clear and innocent, staring at him.
His heart gave a sharp ¡°crack¡±.
Damn it!
Chu Xiuhuang found himself strangely unable to get angry.
He pressed his thin lips together and sat down in a distinctly aloof manner, ¡°Drive.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
The ck Cayenne quickly pulled away.
¡°Mr. Chu, your coat is on the backseat.¡±
¡°Achoo!¡±
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
She quickly turned up the air conditioning another two degrees.
After all, if Mr. Chu really caught a cold, she would be the one stuck taking care of him and wasting her time.
As the heat gradually filled the car, Shi Huan drove in silence and Chu Xiuhuang began sending all the photos she had just sent to their WJY group chat.
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
Nangong Ci: [Damn!]
¡
Ming Jing: [Second Brother, you should have given me a head¡¯s up.]
Nangong Ci: [This woman really is something!]
Gu Huai¡¯an: [So this is what happened after I left?]
Nangong Ci: [Old Gu, seems like tomorrow¡¯s headlines will be yours to surrender!]
Lu Chenyu: [Heh. ]
Suddenly, Shi Huan¡¯s phone rang.
She hurriedly picked it up, ¡°Luoluo.¡±
¡°Huanhuan, when are youing back? I¡¯m scared¡¡± The little girl¡¯s soft voice carried a whiff of tears.
Shi Huan quicklyforted, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Luoluo. I¡¯ll be home soon. Why don¡¯t you turn the TV on and watch something in the meanwhile?¡±
¡°How soon is ¡®soon¡¯?¡±
Shi Huan checked the time, ¡°Forty minutes, okay? I promise!¡±
¡°Okay then, Huanhuan, please hurry home.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Off to the side, Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s brows were furrowed.
Forty minutes?
Such a deceitful sister!
But after about ten minutes, the car pulled up in front of Nangong Hospital.
Shi Huan said, ¡°Mr. Chu, we¡¯re here.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang red at her discontentedly, ¡°What do you mean by this? You¡¯re just going to leave me here? Expecting me to walk home?¡±
Shi Huan exined, ¡°My sister is alone at home and she¡¯s really scared. I promised her I¡¯d be home in forty minutes, the journey back is just about that long.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, ¡°Why is your sister living with you? Didn¡¯t you say she¡¯s your uncle¡¯s daughter?¡±
He knew Shi Huan had a one-bedroom apartment of her own. Although the apartment was notrge, given its prime location and the fact it was bought before property prices skyrocketed, it was now worth at least two million. Shi Huan really had an eye for investment.
Her response was brief, ¡°It¡¯s because she likes me.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
After a while.
¡°So, she can live with you just because she likes you?¡± Chu Xiuhuang eyed her suspiciously.
If she said yes, he would immediately¡
¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¯re overthinking.¡± Shi Huan snuffed his train of thoughts with a single sentence.
¡°Because she¡¯s my sister and she¡¯s alone with no one to take care of her, so she¡¯s living with me,¡± Shi Huan thought she made it quite clear, but¡
¡°What about her parents? If it¡¯s their child, why aren¡¯t they taking care of her? Why do they need you, her cousin, to look after her?¡±
¡°¡¡± Shi Huan frowned, but before she could speak.
¡°Is her father a moron?¡± Chu Xiuhuang was suddenly filled with an inexplicable rage.
Last time because of that gluttonous little girl, he didn¡¯t get to taste Shi Huan¡¯s cooking.
And this time, she was actually rushing home? Leaving him stranded in front of the hospital?
¡°Do they think they can wash their hands off their own child? Is it appropriate for an unmarried girl like you to be looking after their child every day? Those who bear children and fail to raise them are unworthy of being parents!¡± Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s words grew increasingly heated. ¡°If they didn¡¯t want to raise a child, then why did they have one? Why couldn¡¯t they exercise control over their own personal desires? Why not just relieve themselves against a wall instead of inside a woman?¡±
Shi Huan stared at him nkly, ¡°Mr. Chu, you¡¡±
¡°These men are the scum of the earth! Scum! Barely better than animals!¡± At the end, Chu Xiuhuang concluded.
Shi Huan again: ¡°¡¡±
Though her uncle indeed had his shorings, he was still family.
She narrowed her eyes, her voice adopting an edge of seriousness, ¡°Mr. Chu, I don¡¯t appreciate yourments about my family.¡±
¡°They see you as cheapbour, exploiting your full value, and the money you¡¯ve earned through hard work over the years, from dawn to dusk, has all been taken by these parasite rtives to repay their debts. And you still call them family? They don¡¯t deserve it! Only a fool like you would treat them as such¡¡±
With each word, Shi Huan¡¯s face kept getting paler and paler.
Before he could finish, she suddenly turned around and pushed open the car door.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, he quickly followed her out when he saw her alight from the vehicle.
¡°Hey, what do you think you¡¯re doing?¡±
Shi Huan quickly walked to the other side of the road and¡to his surprise, started gging down a taxi.
¡°Damn it!¡± Chu Xiuhuang cursed. He was about to run over to her when he saw a taxi driving towards them. Shi Huan quickly hailed it and just like that, leapt in and left.
Chu Xiuhuang stood there, watching the taxi drive away.
After a moment.
¡°Achoo!¡±
¡
In the chilling wind wearing a thin three-piece suit, he had to shuttle twice between the underground parking lot and the hospital entrance. So, the next day, Chu Xiuhuang magnificently caught a cold.
Chapter 436: 436, Gathering Place of Little Fairies
Chapter 436: Gathering ce of Little Fairies
Nancheng University.
Because of indulging himself the previous night, Mo Weiyi overslept and only had a chance to check his phone after he arrived at school.
There were loads of messages on WeChat, apart from those sent by Ling Zhizhou, the rest were from a group chat of three people.
There¡¯s no name for it?
Mo Weiyi promptly changed the group name to ¡°Little Fairy Gathering ce¡±, and then sent a Quan Lu¡¯er emoticon.
Shi Huan: [Miss Mo, I¡¯ve already washed the dress from yesterday, when are you free today? I¡¯d like to return the dress and the jewelry to you.]
Mo Weiyi: [Don¡¯t be so formal, I¡¯m at school today, you cane by anytime.]
Shi Huan: [Alright.]
Mo Weiyi thought it would be at least the afternoon, but as soon as the g-raising ceremony was over, Shi Huan¡¯s call came in.
At the school gate, Shi Huan handed over a bag, ¡°Miss Mo, I¡¯ve hand washed the dress, steamed it and hung it on the heater overnight to dry. And the jewelry, it¡¯s all in there.¡±
Mo Weiyi took the bag, ¡°In the future, just call me Weiyi, don¡¯t be so formal, you¡¯re Wanwan¡¯s friend, and thus my friend.¡±
Shi Huan smiled.
Who knew, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, ¡°Secretary Shi, do you want to be my friend?¡±
¡°Eh?¡± Shi Huan had never before encountered someone asking in such a way.
Do you want to be my friend?
Isn¡¯t friendship something that naturally happens as you interact and spend time together?
Mo Weiyi spoke seriously, ¡°I don¡¯t have many friends, Wanwan is my best friend, but ever since she got married it¡¯s been hard for us to meet. Secretary Shi, being so smart, you should be my friend, okay? Trust me, I¡¯m really good to friends!¡±
¡°Erm¡¡± Shi Huan found herself a bit overwhelmed by the little princess¡¯s enthusiasm and could only nod, ¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Great, then I¡¯ll call you Little Huanhuan from now on, is that okay?¡±
Little Huanhuan?
Shi Huan felt a bit awkward. Howe, like a certain someone, she also liked calling this name.
Certain someone?
Shi Huan looked at the time and hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Mo, I need to go take care of Mr. Chu at the hospital, I don¡¯t have much time, I should go, goodbye.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Before Mo Weiyi could respond, Shi Huan had already turned around, briskly got into a Dongfeng SUV parked by the roadside, and drove off quickly.
She left like a gust of wind!
Mo Weiyi stood there, her delicate face showing a touch of admiration.
Wow, Secretary Shi is so beautiful, yet so smart and capable, even driving cars this coolly! And it¡¯s an SUV! This friend, she¡¯s definitely going to make!
**
Shi Huan stopped at her usual breakfast ce, picked up some breakfast, then drove to the hospital.
Rushing all over the ce, it was already half past nine when she arrived at the hospital.
As soon as she opened the door to the patient¡¯s room, as expected, young master Chu was throwing a tantrum.
¡°Why are you only here now? Didn¡¯t we agree that you¡¯de over to bring me breakfast by nine every day?¡±
Shi Huan exined, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I went to the school to return Miss Mo¡¯s dress, and it dyed some time.¡±
¡°What¡¯s more important? Miss Mo? Or your boss¡¯s stomach?¡± Young master Chu wore an usatory face.
Shi Huan went straight over with the takeaway, then quickly opened it, ¡°Mr. Chu, it¡¯s time for breakfast.¡±
The scent of the food sessfully eased Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s anger.
However¡
¡°Achoo!¡±
Chu Xiuhuang let out a big sneeze.
Shi Huan quickly handed him a tissue, ¡°Mr. Chu, take care of your health.¡±
¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± Chu Xiuhuang sniffed his stately nose, ¡°Thanks to you, I have a cold now.¡±
Shi Huan quickly frowned, ¡°My mistake.¡±
With such a good apology, Chu Xiuhuang couldn¡¯t get mad anymore.
Although he was really frustratedst night, even tossing and turning all night, thinking about whether he had said something too harsh?
He thought he was just looking out for her, so why was this silly woman angry with him?
The Shi family elders were clearly taking advantage of her as cheapbor, exploiting her value ruthlessly over so many years. He just spoke the truth about it, and she got angry with him, how ridiculous!
And she left him and his car at the hospital entrance!
If she¡¯s so capable, why doesn¡¯t she stand up to the Shi family elders?
Chu Xiuhuang picked up his chopsticks, then, noticing her outfit, scowled, ¡°Why are you wearing these clothes again?¡±
ck turtleneck sweater, ck jeans, loose enough topletely hide any curves, and with her hair back to its original style, she was even wearing huge ck-rimmed sses.
Shi Huan adjusted her sses, ¡°Is there a problem?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang: ¡°¡¡±
He forcefully grabbed a bun and stuffed it whole into his mouth.
Shi Huan hurriedly tried to warn him, ¡°Mr. Chu, it¡¯s hot¡¡±
But it was toote.
¡°¡ Damn!¡± Chu Xiuhuang instantly spat the bun back out.
¡°¡ Mr. Chu, I got soup dumplings.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s mouth was wide open, and he couldn¡¯t recover for a while.
What the hell¡
He was scalded!
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
It honestly wasn¡¯t her fault, she had warned him, but he acted so quickly.
Seeing Chu Xiuhuang continually holding his mouth open, looking severely scalded, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Mr. Chu, do you want me to call the doctor?¡±
But Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand and waved to her.
Shi Huan stared nkly, not understanding what he meant.
¡°Come over!¡± Chu Xiuhuang spoke impatiently, his tongue a bit heavy, it was obvious he was really scalded.
Shi Huan quickly walked over.
¡°Closer!¡±
Shi Huan had no choice but to get a bit closer.
Then, Chu Xiuhuang pointed at his mouth, ¡°Help blow on it.¡±
Shi Huan was startled: ¡°¡¡±
What the heck?
¡°It hurts, help me blow on it.¡± After Chu Xiuhuang said it, he gave her a stern look, ¡°Hurry up!¡±
Chapter 437: 437, Big Light Bulb
Chapter 437: Big Light Bulb
Shi Huan looked at him, inexplicably reminded of Little Luoluo.
The little girl once drank soup too quickly, not being careful enough, got her tongue scalded, simr to Young Master Chu¡¯s situation right now, screaming in pain, asking for it to be blown cooled¡
They were exactly the same.
¡°Hurry up!¡± Chu Xiuhuang said in displeasure.
Perhaps because she was reminded of Little Luoluo, Shi Huan bent down as if possessed and began blowing air towards Chu Xiuhuang.
Once.
And again.
The cool breeze carried a woman¡¯s fragrance, blowing over the scalded mouth and tongue tip, making Chu Xiuhuang feel instantly better.
Then his gaze inevitably fell on her face.
She was serious about helping him blow on it, thus her lips were slightly pouting. Even without lipstick, they were moist and tender, like two pieces of plump jello.
He couldn¡¯t help but think of what happened at the club.
Though he was a bit drunk at the time, he was still conscious, so he remembered that taste clearly.
His sharp, ink-ck eyes narrowed and Chu Xiuhuang leaned in slowly.
Just as he was about to touch her¡
Shi Huan quickly backed away.
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, about to lose his temper.
Shi Huan raised her hand, brushing the ck hair on her face all behind her ears, then started blowing again seriously.
Her small, white, peach-shaped face was now fully exposed, even though she was still wearing herrge ck-rimmed sses.
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s mouth half open, just let her continue to blow air, once after another.
A faint scent entered his nostrils, as if it hade from her hair.
Chu Xiuhuang found he was having trouble looking away.
¡°Xiaohuan,¡± he called.
Shi Huan paused, and as she lifted her head, she saw Chu Xiuhuang staring at her.
What¡¯s wrong?
Just as she felt puzzled, Chu Xiuhuang ced his hand on her shoulder¡
The half-closed door was flung open with a ¡°ng,¡± and Nangong Ci yelled in a loud voice, ¡°Second Brother, Big Brother said¡ Oh, shit! I didn¡¯t see anything, I swear! I¡¯m leaving, bye!¡±
Nangong Ci took a few steps back, then couldn¡¯t help but nce back, ¡°Damn, you¡¯re not even going to stop me?¡±
Huo Jingshen stood at the doorway, emotionless.
At the side of the hospital bed, Shi Huan already stood up.
She turned around, saw the impassive Huo Jingshen standing at the door, and met his prating gaze. Inexplicably, Shi Huan¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
As if she had been caught in the act of doing something wrong.
But¡
She clearly hadn¡¯t done anything.
Shi Huan reassured herself, then gave Huo Jingshen a slight nod, quickly picked up the fruits, and calmly went into the bathroom.
Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple times, stretching one long leg to cover his embarrassment.
Dammit, he was about to touch his secretary¡¯s lips, these damn spoilsports!
He frowned, ¡°What are you here for?¡±
Huo Jingshen strode in, scowling, ¡°Who¡¯s the asshole who called me here?¡±
Asshole¡
Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s lips twitched in response.
He admitted, ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯te.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t want toe,¡± Huo Jingshen sat down on the sofa, speaking bluntly.
He was just passing by, didn¡¯t expect to witness such an unsightly scene.
Watching Chu Xiuhuang start eating breakfast, he grumbled, ¡°Say what you need to, and be quick about it.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang took a bite of delicious crab-filled bun and sighed with satisfaction, ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m eating breakfast now, could we talk a bit more civilly?¡±
Huo Jingshen nced at his watch, ¡°You have 10 minutes.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
Then, Nangong Ci ran in again. He nced at the bathroom and grinned slyly, ¡°Second brother, you say, you¡¯re just going to kiss her¡ without even closing the door?¡±
¡°Are there hospital regtions preventing patients from kissing?¡± Chu Xiuhuang interrupted him with a wicked look.
Though he didn¡¯t actually manage to kiss her. Damn shame.
¡°Well, no,¡± Nangong Ci smiled cheekily as he found a chair to sit, ¡°I heard you took Secretary Shi to the Mo Family¡¯s anniversary partyst night. Why are there only scandalous photos and none of Secretary Shi?¡±
Chu Xiuhuang red, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Check out the beauty!¡± Ever since he saw Shi Huan in a swimsuit, Nangong Ci scored her highly in his heart.
She¡¯s such a beauty, he couldn¡¯t understand why she always disguised herself.
Chu Xiuhuang mmed down his spoon, ¡°She is my secretary!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t I even take a look?¡±
¡°No!¡±
¡°Second brother is such a miser!¡±
¡°¡¡±
Footsteps neared, and Chu Xiuhuang fell silent, focusing on his breakfast instead.
Shi Huan ced the fruits on the sofa, knowing that Huo Jingshen was here probably for business matters, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll go downstairs to buy some more fruits.¡±
Chu Xiuhuang immediately spoke gently, ¡°Go ahead, and buy some more tissue while you¡¯re at it. I¡¯ve used them all up.¡±
Nangong Ci burst outughing, quickly covering his mouth.
With a darkened face, Huo Jingshen thought this guy was shameless.
¡°Oh, and buy two pairs of boxers, ck, biggest size. You know,¡± Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow suggestively.
Shi Huan: ¡°¡¡±
Her right eyelid started twitching rapidly.
Actually, it wasn¡¯t like she had never helped Young Master Chu buy clothes before.
Of course, she knew his clothing size and preferences. But now, there were two strangers in the hospital room.
Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature and steady, his emotions not easily read.
On the other hand, that Nangong Ci was having a tough time stifling hisughter ¨C despite holding his hand over his mouth, he was still giggling, his shoulders shaking continuously¡.
Chapter 438: 438, Luo Yiyi
Chapter 438: Luo Yiyi
Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature andposed, never showing his emotions on his face.
However, Nangong Ci, was struggling to hold back hisughter, cupping his mouth making ¡°pfft¡± sounds, his shoulders continuously shaking¡
Suppressing a cough, she nodded, ¡°Does Mr. Chu need anything else?¡±
¡°No, you can go.¡± Chu Xiuhuang continued his gentle tone.
Shi Huan quickly turned and left.
As soon as she closed the door, sure enough, she heard Nangong Ci¡¯s unrestrainedughter.
With a resigned shake of her head, Shi Huan breathed out and walked downstairs.
*
*
Nangong Hospital had an internal goods supermarket, filled with all kinds of goods, all of which were naturally expensive.
Shi Huan quickly finished her shopping, but did not leave immediately.
She strolled around in the little garden at the back until half an hourter, Huo Jingshen had left after his meeting, and Chu Xiuhuang sent a message urging her toe back. Only then did Shi Huan, loaded with shopping bags, return to the hospital building the same way she came.
Just as she entered the hall, a familiar female voice called out, apanied by the click of high heels, ¡°Secretary Shi!¡±
Shi Huan stopped and looked. It was Luo Yiyi, whom she had met at the banquet hallst night.
¡°Miss Luo?¡±
Dressed in a short pearl-white fur coat, shiny ck leggings, and matching knee-high boots, Luo Yiyi had a small Chanel cowhide bag slung diagonally over her shoulder. Her delicate makeup on her angry face wasden with usation, ¡°Did youin to Mr. Chu, leading to Huan Entertainment withdrawing the coboration with our Luo Family?¡±
Shi Huan frowned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Still pretending naivete?¡± Luo Yiyi gritted her teeth, ¡°After I spilled on your dressst night, can you still say that this has nothing to do with you?¡±
She had simply dirtied her dress, but unexpectedly, this woman had turned around andined to Mr. Chu.
Who did not know that Mr. Chu and the man from Huan Entertainment were close friends, and their ns, including the Huo Family, the Nangong Family, and even the Lu Family, were all in a circle¡
Their rtionships were so close, outsiders simply could not get in.
Her father scolded her for a full hour as soon as she got up this morning, saying that when Mr. Gu terminated the contract, he only said one thing, ¡°Go ask your precious daughter who she has offended.¡±
Who did she offend?
Luo Yiyi naturally thought of Shi Huan first.
She had not expected this in-looking secretary, who was like an old nun, to have such trust from Mr. Chu?
He bought her such an expensive dress yesterday, and now, for her sake, he was directly venting his anger on the entire Luo Corporation.
The sudden termination of the contract caused Luo Corporation to lose millions instantly, and she was scolded harshly by her father.
Under Chu Jingyi¡¯s guidance, she came to the hospital looking for Chu Xiuhuang to plead, but the nurse didn¡¯t even ry the message, saying that during Mr. Chu¡¯s stay in the hospital, he would not meet anyone.
But why was Shi Huan hanging around the hospital all day long?
And in her hands, she was carrying so many items, including men¡¯s underwear?
Those were obviously for Mr. Chu!
Luo Yiyi clenched her fist, momentarily angry and envious, her pretty face contorting.
Shi Huan, however, gave a slight smile, ¡°Thank you for the reminder Miss Luo. I haven¡¯t yet sent the bill for the dress to Mr. Luo, it¡¯s a total of 1.2 million.¡±
¡°You¡¡± Luo Yiyi was even more furious.
Seeing Shi Huan dressed in that so ordinary, so in, so unremarkable down jacket.
Why was someone like that able to stay by Mr. Chu¡¯s side for so many years?
In her rage and resentment, Luo Yiyi flung her palm towards Shi Huan¡¯s face.
At that time, Shi Huan was holding a bag of tissues in one hand and arge bag of fruit in the other, and had no time to dodge.
The palm was quick and sharp.
At the critical moment, a man¡¯s hand appeared out of nowhere, holding the woman¡¯s wrist tightly.
The strength was so great that Luo Yiyi cried out in pain,¡±Ah! It hurts! Let go of me, who are you¡¡±
But when she saw the man¡¯s face, she immediately fell silent.
It was Lu Chenyu!
Mr. Chu¡¯s best friend.
As she liked Chu Xiuhuang, she naturally paid attention to his news. She knew that over the years, the women around him came and went, but his best friend had always been Lu Chenyu.
This Lu Chenyu was a well-known topwyer in Nancheng, any case that fell into his hands, even a ck one could be argued as white, he has never lost a case since he started working.
The reason why Chu Xiuhuang could act so recklessly over the years was not unrted to Lu Chenyu.
The two even had a bunch of brain-dead fan pairs. She once tried to study them, butter found that it was like a cult, the two men could even be fantasized about all sorts of love and hate.
So Luo Yiyi was somewhat afraid of him and had to bear the pain while staying quiet.
Lu Chenyu quickly let go of his fingers and asked Shi Huan with a straight face, ¡°Is there a problem?¡±
Shi Huan blinked and shook her head hurriedly, ¡°No, she didn¡¯t hit me.¡±
Lu Chenyu nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Shi Huan quickly followed.
Luo Yiyi stood there, stomping her foot in anger. When she saw the red mark on her wrist, she was even more upset.
She took out her phone and quickly dialed a number.
The call was picked up quickly.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Yiyi?¡±
¡°Sister Jingyi.¡± Luo Yiyi spoke in a coquettish tone, her eyes turning red with grievance, ¡°What should I do? I havee to the hospital, but Mr. Chu refuses to see me.¡±
Chapter 439: 439, arent you narcissistic, Little Princess?
Chapter 439: aren¡¯t you narcissistic, Little Princess?
¡°Hehe.¡±
Chu Jingyi chuckled, ¡°I warned you before: don¡¯t be impulsive. My little brother is famously ruthless when he turns on someone. Shi Huan is his secretary; you wore the dress he gifted you, then deliberately spilled wine on it, embarrassing her in public. You nned to insult my brother, didn¡¯t you? It¡¯s no surprise that he¡¯s angered and holding a grudge against your family. Can¡¯t you understand that?¡±
¡°What should I do now, Sister Jingyi?¡± Luo Yiyi stomped anxiously, ¡°You were the one who told me to approach Secretary Shi yesterday. All I did was spill some wine on her dress¡¡±
Before she finished, Chu Jingyi cut her off. ¡°Yesterday, I merely informed you that Shi Huan was my brother¡¯s femalepanion. You are the one who lostposure and purposely spilled red wine on her.¡±
Luo Yiyi felt nauseated yet could only continue humbly, ¡°Now our family¡¯s business coboration with Huan Entertainment has been called off. My dad said he already borrowed from the banks for it; due to the cancetion, we have now lost millions. He ordered me to rectify this, but young master Chu absolutely refuses to see me.¡±
¡°As for business dealings, it would be better for us women to stay out,¡± replied Chu Jingyizily. ¡°If your father wants to yell at you, just let him. You¡¯re his only daughter, what could he possibly do to you?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°If you really want to make up for the losses, it isn¡¯tpletely impossible,¡± interjected Chu Jingyi, abruptly changing her tone.
Impatient, Luo Yiyi asked, ¡°What, Sister Jingyi? Tell me, quick!¡±
¡°You could go and kneel before Shi Huan while admitting your mistakes. Be very humble with your attitude and tone. If she softens, then there¡¯s a possibility¡¡±
¡°Me, apologizing on my knees to that old maid? Impossible!¡± Luo Yiyi promptly interrupted.
¡°Very well then.¡± Chu Jingyi chuckled. ¡°I have other matters to attend to, I will hang up now.¡±
Before Luo Yiyi could react, the phone call was disconnected.
Luo Yiyi looked at her darkening phone screen, bing heated to the point of rage.
Was she just yed like a fool?
**
Nancheng University.
Following lunch, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan, as usual, arrived at the reading room.
Ling Zhizhou was already there waiting. He had secured the same seats as before, one next to him and the other opposite.
Su Wanwan travelled to the seat opposite and watched as Mo Weiyi sat down beside Ling Zhizhou.
She pulled out her textbooks and soon became engrossed in her studies.
After finishing a set of papers an hourter, Su Wanwan set down her pen. As she went to pick up her thermal sk, she unintentionally looked up and captured a beautiful scene.
Due to being in the library, Mo Weiyi had taken off her coat. Wearing a slightly oversized pink sweater with her long honey-colored curly hair,bined with refined nude makeup, she looked like a pretty doll.
Mo Weiyi was engrossed in her English exercises while Ling Zhizhou stared at her intently, his gaze unwavering and almost fervent, as if he was under her spell.
Their seats were by the window, and the winter sun in the afternoon came streaming through, casting a golden glow upon them.
Young and wonderful.
Furrowing her brows, Su Wanwan picked up her pen and gently tapped it on the table.
Ling Zhizhou immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to read.
Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi looked up. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Wanwan?¡±
After a nce at Ling Zhizhou, Su Wanwan pursed her lips, ¡°Come get some fresh air with me, will you?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Mo Weiyi put her pen down.
**
Outside, in a peaceful corner, Su Wanwan got straight to the point, ¡°Is this Ling Zhizhou chasing after you?¡±
¡°Even though I¡¯m as beautiful as a flower, he¡¯s my junior by two years. What nasty stories are you cooking up in your mind?¡± Mo Weiyi batted her clear cat eyes at her, as if hearing a tall tale.
¡°But the way he looks at you is suspicious.¡±
The fascinated look from earlier was undoubtedly that of an admirer; it couldn¡¯t be more obvious.
Su Wanwan was confident in her judgment.
And what about him being younger by two years?
In these times, you even hear about couples with an age gap of ten years. There are even teacher-student rtionships happening at the school.
¡°You¡¯re a married woman. Watch your words and actions.¡±
Mo Weiyi burst outughing, ¡°Sweet Wanwan, have you been reading too many romance novels?¡±
¡°Does he know you¡¯re already married?¡± Su Wanwan continued, her face serious.
As the school¡¯s beauty, any information about Mo Weiyi can easily be found in abundance by a simple search on the school¡¯s forum. Everyone knows about her.
She couldn¡¯t believe that Ling Zhizhou would be unaware.
But if he knows, why would he show such affection to a married woman?
Su Wanwan had a feeling something was not quite right.
¡°I haven¡¯t said anything,¡± Mo Weiyi puffed her cheeks, ¡°Perhaps he doesn¡¯t know.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Fair enough.
In that case, she was willing to drop her previous suspicions, ¡°Then you should find an opportunity to tell him as soon as possible to avoid any scandals. Who knows what Xiao Bai might think?¡±
Mo Weiyi seemed thoughtful, ¡°Makes sense.¡±
She had to consider Xiaobai¡¯s feelings too.
The next moment.
¡°But if I say it so directly, wouldn¡¯t it make me seem too narcissistic? As if I assume everyone is into me?¡±
Hehe. Su Wanwan gave an amused smirk, ¡°Aren¡¯t you narcissistic, little princess?¡±
Mo Weiyi smiled slyly, ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll tell him next time.¡±
¡°Alright,¡± Su Wanwan nodded.
Even though she didn¡¯t really like Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi was wholly devoted to him. There was no need to create a scandal at school.
Moreover, with matters of the heart, it¡¯s best to nip it in the bud. If Ling Zhizhou ended up getting hurt, it would not be good.
Chapter 440: 440, you look quite like my sister.
Chapter 440: you look quite like my sister.
When they returned to the reading room, Su Wanwan had just sat down when she heard Mo Weiyi say, ¡°Ling Zhizhou, I want to talk to you, can youe out for a moment?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Ling Zhizhou stood up with a smile, eagerly following Mo Weiyi out.
Poor kid, he mighte back crying, thought Su Wanwan silently to herself.
**
Once outside, Mo Weiyi came straight to the point, ¡°Ling Zhizhou, do you know I¡¯m married?¡±
Ling Zhizhou¡¯s face noticeably stiffened, his voice hesitant, ¡°You¡are married?¡±
Oh no, thought Mo Weiyi.
He really didn¡¯t know she was married?
Wasn¡¯t she famous enough at school?
She used to think that Ling Zhizhou was the only student in the past two years who didn¡¯t give her special treatment because of her status as the little princess of the Mo family, but it turned out he didn¡¯t know at all.
Mo Weiyi had no choice but to say, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been married for two years and my husband and I are very much in love. We were each other¡¯s first love.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Ling Zhizhou¡¯s expression seemed a bit downcast, ¡°That¡¯s enviable.¡±
Mo Weiyi looked at him apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ling Zhizhou, I know you¡¯ve been good to me, but I have never cheated on¡¡±
She never got out the word ¡®cheating.¡¯
¡°Why would you apologize?¡± Ling Zhizhou quickly interrupted her, ¡°Does your marital status have anything to do with our friendship?¡±
Mo Weiyi blinked in confusion, ¡°Umm¡¡±
¡°Senior, I just thought you looked very simr to my sister, so when I saw you in the exam room that day, I felt an affinity towards you,¡± Ling Zhizhou exined.
Mo Weiyi sighed in relief, so that was it.
But she looked like his sister?
In all her life, she had never seen a woman who looked like her.
Mo Weiyi, curious, asked, ¡°What¡¯s your sister¡¯s name? What did she do? Do you have a picture of her on your phone?¡±
Ling Zhizhou looked at her, his expression momentarily pained before he said with a smile, ¡°My sister has passed away.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mo Weiyi was taken aback by this answer, quickly apologizing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ I didn¡¯t know¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Ling Zhizhou gave her a brilliant smile, ¡°If you are worried that your husband might be upset when he sees me, then I¡¯ll keep my distance from you in the future¡¡±
¡°Oh no no,¡± Mo Weiyi hastily denied, ¡°my husband is not a petty person and besides, we are friends.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Ling Zhizhou scratched his head, his smile pure and shy.
**
Su Wanwan found it strange. After those two came back, they seemed to get along even better?
Mo Weiyi was even asking Ling Zhizhou about their assignments, so innocent¡ It was like they were a young couple.
What happened to himing back in tears?
¡
As evening approached, the lights in the reading room came on, and outside the windows, the night gradually fell.
Mo Weiyi stood up, ¡°Wanwan, I have to go.¡±
¡°It seems to be raining outside.¡± Su Wanwan asked her, ¡°Did you bring an umbre?¡±
¡°My Uncle Liu ising to pick me up.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
After Mo Weiyi left, Su Wanwan saw Ling Zhizhou across the table suddenly get up, quickly pack his bag and leave as well.
**
Just as Mo Weiyi was about to call her driver, she felt a tap on her shoulder from behind, ¡°Senior sister.¡±
She turned around to see Ling Zhizhou smile and hold out a ck umbre, ¡°Here, you can borrow this.¡±
Mo Weiyi took the umbre in surprise, ¡°What about you?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be okay, my coat is thick, and I also have a hood.¡± As he spoke, Ling Zhizhou pulled the hood of his cotton coat over his head, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°¡Alright.¡±
The two of them descended the stairs together, Mo Weiyi opening the umbre.
She discovered that Ling Zhizhou had already stepped out into the rain.
The rain was heavy and quickly drenched his blue cotton jacket.
Mo Weiyi frowned, stepped into the misty rain with her umbre, only to find that he was walking ahead.
¡°Ling Zhizhou,¡± she couldn¡¯t help but call out, ¡°Where are you going?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to the bank at the school gate to withdraw some money.¡±
¡°Then share the umbre with me.¡±
The umbre was quite big, the kind ofrge ck umbre that was more than enough for two people to share under.
Ling Zhizhou didn¡¯t refuse, he reached out to take it, ¡°Then let me hold it.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
They walked towards the school gate together.
As they walked out of the main gate, Mo Weiyi didn¡¯t see the familiar Audi.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Uncle Liu¡¯s number, ¡°Uncle Liu, have you arrived yet?¡±
¡°Princess, Mr. Xiao just called me and said that he¡¯sing to pick you up from school tonight.¡±
¡°Xiaobai ising to pick me up?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes lit up, she was overjoyed.
Ling Zhizhou quickly looked up at her side.
A ck Bentley slowly came to a stop at the roadside.
Mo Weiyi naturally saw it too, and eximed joyfully, ¡°I can see his car now.¡±
After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi said immediately, ¡°My husband is here, Ling Zhizhou. I¡¯ll go now.¡±
Ling Zhizhou withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, ¡°Alright.¡±
As he finished speaking, he quickly shoved the umbre into her hands and turned around to run off.
He moved so quickly that Mo Weiyi had no time to refuse.
When she heard the sound of honking behind her, she turned around and quickly went over to open the car door.
¡°Xiaobai.¡±
The car was filled with warm heat. Xiao Yebai sat on the driver¡¯s seat looking indifferent and cultured as he stared out of the misted-over car window with his sharp, deep eyes. Then, his deep and calm voice rang out, ¡°Who was that boy?¡±
¡°A ssmate, he saw me in the rain and lent me his umbre.¡±
¡°And then he let himself get drenched in the rain?¡± Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, his tone indifferent butced with clear mockery.
Mo Weiyi naturally noticed this, especially when she met his deep, pitch-ck eyes, which felt bottomless.
Her heart jumped, and she quickly changed the subject, ¡°Xiaobai, howe you¡¯re free to pick me up today?¡±
Xiao Yebai stared at her quietly, his ck pupils unwavering, and did not respond.
Chapter 441: 441, thank you, husband.
Chapter 441: thank you, husband.
Mo Weiyi blinked a few times, a look of innocence on his face.
Finally, Xiao Yebai took his gaze away and started the car.
¡°To the old house,¡± his voice was t, as if devoid of any emotion.
Mo Weiyi put his ck umbre by his feet and let out a silent sigh of relief. ¡°Oh.¡±
Why does it seem like Xiaobai is getting more jealous?
Is it an illusion?
It must be an illusion!
**
In the reading room.
Su Wanwan reviewed ¡°Introduction to Communication Studies¡± once again until her phone lit up.
She immediately got up, packed up her books, took her umbre, and left.
Tonight was Huo Juncheng¡¯s birthday. It was not a significant birthday, and given that the patriarch¡¯s health was not good, they just had a family banquet at the Zhejiang Cuisine Restaurant. Only family members were invited.
¡
Around six o¡¯clock in the evening, Huo Jingshen parked the car in the shopping mall¡¯s underground parking lot.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw some familiar faces emerging from a ck Mercedes across the way.
¡°Ashen.¡± Huo Qinyu greeted him first. Seeing Su Wanwan, her smile altered slightly, yet she nevertheless called out, ¡°Wanwan.¡±
Xing Guozhi and Xing Siqing also quickly came over. The former was very polite in his greetings while Xing Siqing just said ¡°big brother¡± and quickly turned her head away.
They went into the lobby and waited for the elevator. Huo Jingshen courteously allowed the elders to go in first.
Standing by his side, Su Wanwan held his arm, ying the part of an obedient wife.
Watching this, Xing Siqing gritted her teeth in anger.
Such a hypocritical bitch!
Her brother got transferred to Jiangcheng for work, Su Yanyan was sent off to South Korea, yet here she was, enjoying her life more than ever. Very pleased with herself indeed!
Just you wait, it won¡¯t be long before I have you thrown out of the Huo family. Then, there will be nowhere for you to cry!
**
Everyone else had arrived in the private room.
The Huo Family had not gathered like this in a long time. It was lively with everyone present.
The moment Huo Zhexi saw Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan enter, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to y with his phone.
He¡¯d been living on tenterhooks for the past week, fearing that his parents would suddenly bring up the issue about the hot springs club.
He didn¡¯t really want toe tonight, but it was his father¡¯s birthday, and with his brother Huo Nuanyang stationed in the military and unable toe, it would have been very unbing for him not to attend.
Now he could only keep his head down and pray in silence.
Looking at her son, Mingzhu was surprisingly pleased. It was rare to see this bad boy acting so obediently.
¡°Uncle, this is the gift I¡¯ve brought for you.¡± Xing Siqing approached him sweetly.
Having previously shed with Su Wanwan, she was now trying very hard to win the favor of the Huo Family.
Huo Juncheng epted her gift and, just as he put it aside, she added, ¡°It¡¯s your favorite golf club set from pliihap. I ced the order a month ago.¡±
Upon hearing this, Huo Juncheng was pleasantly surprised. ¡°So Siqing knows I like ying golf.¡±
¡°Of course.¡± Xing Siqing smiled demurely. ¡°I also know that you love drinking tea. I bought some top-quality Dragon Well tea, but the delivery was dyed by the manufacturer. If it wasn¡¯t for that, I would have brought two gifts tonight.¡±
Her words delighted the birthday man, earning her much praise.
The other guests followed with their gifts.
When Huo Jingshen presented his gift, Xing Siqing suddenly asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t Wanwan prepare a gift?¡±
Huo Qinyu immediately nudged her, warning her with her eyes.
But Xing Siqing just pouted and said in a pitiful voice, ¡°Mom, why did you push me? I was just curious, can¡¯t I ask a question?¡±
She turned to Su Wanwan again, ¡°What gift did you prepare for Uncle? Do tell.¡±
Su Wanwan remained silent, not answering.
She had been busy preparing for the term-end exams at schooltely and had rarely been home. She hadn¡¯t even thought of a gift. However, Huo Jingshen had taken care of it all beforehand, saying there was no need for her to do so.
But who would have thought, he¡¯d only prepared one gift¡
It¡¯smon for a couple to give a joint gift, especially when Huo Jingshen¡¯s gift was expensive. But now that Xing Siqing had pointed it out like this, it looked somewhat bad.
Huo Juncheng quickly intervened, ¡°Wanwan is still studying. Her gift was presented by Ashen already.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, as long as the thought is there,¡± added Mingzhu,ughing.
Clearly, the couple was siding with Su Wanwan.
Nodding, Xing Siqing acted like she understood, ¡°True, I forgot that Wanwan doesn¡¯t have an ie yet.¡±
Su Wanwan curled her lips into a forced smile, watching Xing Siqing. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Jingshen¡¯s hand rested on her shoulder.
Looking down at her tenderly, he said affectionately, ¡°Baby, why are you so forgetful? Did you leave the gift in the car?¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
What gift?
Before she could express her doubts, Huo Jingshen suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking towards the corner of the room, ¡°Zhexi.¡±
Huo Zhexi was pretending not to be present, but hearing this voice was no exaggeration, it was like hearing Yama calling his name, causing him to shiver in fear. He quickly stood.
¡°Big Brother!¡±
His loud voice startled everyone in the room.
Mingzhu furrowed her brows.
What on earth was with this child?
Why was he so jumpy?
Huo Jingshen casually pulled out car keys, tossed them gracefully towards him, ¡°Go and fetch your sister-inw¡¯s gift.¡±
Huo Zhexi quickly fumbled for the car keys. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief, ¡°Sure, big brother, I¡¯ll go right away!¡±
Grabbing his coat, he hurried out almost hopping.
Damn!
He had been scared to death, assuming he would be questioned about his visit to the hot springs resort. Luckily, he was just sent to retrieve something from the car.
¡
Xing Siqing bit her lip, feeling extremely annoyed.
Earlier in the elevator, she had carefully observed that Huo Jingshen only carried one bag, and indeed only gave out one gift. So, she deliberately said those things, hoping to embarrass Su Wanwan. She didn¡¯t expect¡
Still not convinced, she asked, ¡°So, what gift has Wanwan prepared for uncle?¡±
How the hell should I know? Su Wanwan thought but remained silent.
Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, ¡°Siqing, what did you just call her?¡±
Xing Siqing¡¯s face immediately stiffened.
Huo Qinyu¡¯s face changed, she reprimanded quickly, ¡°Siqing, don¡¯t be impolite, address her as sister-inw.¡±
Xing Siqing had no intention to address Su Wanwan as such, but Huo Qinyu sternly pinched her and warned in a low voice, ¡°What did I just tell you?¡±
All the elders were watching.
Xing Siqing gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, ¡°Big brother, I was wrong, I was just used to it, don¡¯t mind it.¡±
Huo Jingshen nodded in satisfaction, ¡°There arews in the country, there are rules in the family. If you¡¯re not ustomed to them, you should practice more. Your sister-inw is generous, but that doesn¡¯t mean the younger generations can call her by her name.¡±
¡°I got it.¡± Xing Siqing lowered her head, she was so frustrated it almost made her feel sick.
Thankfully, Huo Jingshen¡¯s phone rang shortly after.
He looked at his phone and said, ¡°I need to take this call.¡±
**
The call was naturally from Huo Zhexi.
He quickly reached the underground parking garage and found Huo Jingshen¡¯s car. Yet, no matter where he searched in the car, including the trunk, rear seat, and front passenger seat, he could not find a gift box.
He anxiously asked, ¡°Big brother, I can¡¯t find the gift, where did you put it?¡±
Huo Jingshen calmly answered, ¡°It¡¯s in the car.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t find it! I seriously can¡¯t find it, I¡¯ve searched everywhere!¡± Huo Zhexi was almost swearing.
Continuing his search, he heard his big brother¡¯s ominously calm voice from the other side of the phone, ¡°If you can¡¯t find it, then it¡¯s your problem.¡±
¡°Big brother, what do you mean?¡± Huo Zhexi didn¡¯t quite catch on.
¡°I haven¡¯t told your parents about yourst trip to the hot springs resort.¡± Huo Jingshen paused, ¡°So, hurry up, buy a gift, ande back. If you¡¯rete, I¡¯m afraid I might let something slip.¡±
After that, the call ended.
Huo Zhexi: ¡°¡¡±
Buy a gift?
The next second.
Damn!
His big brother was bullying him big time!
**
Half an hourter, the waiter wheeled in the dining cart.
Dinner was about to start, and Zhexi still wasn¡¯t back. Mingzhu furrowed her brows, just as she was about to call him, she received a text message on her phone.
[Your credit card ending with 8797 has a transaction of 189,239 yuan.]
What is this?
Not long after, the door was opened.
Huo Zhexi was panting heavily, it was the middle of the winter, yet he was sweating profusely. With trembling hands, he handed over a gift bag, ¡°Dad, this is¡ this is the bir¡birthday gift from sister-inw!¡±
Huo Juncheng: ¡°¡¡±
Everyone: ¡°¡¡±
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Holy shit, there¡¯s actually a gift?
She immediately looked at Huo Jingshen sitting next to her, clutching his arm, she whispered with a sweet smile, ¡°Thank you, honey.¡±
Chapter 442: 442, pay attention to the occasion
Chapter 442: pay attention to the asion
Huo Jingshen lowered his head to look at her.
The young girl¡¯s smile was sweet, her bright phoenix eyes curved like crescents as she looked at him with sparkling eyes.
As if there were stars inside.
Due to being indoors and wearing a ck high-necked base shirt, her ck curly hair that fell perfectly on her shoulders ttered her delicate face with rosy lips and white teeth.
Compared to a few months ago, the young girl seemed more like ady now.
Of course, this was inseparable from his careful guidance.
¡°Ahem ahem ahem.¡± Suddenly, the old man Huo coughed heavily as a reminder.
Huo Jingshen stopped his action and then sat back properly.
Su Wanwan hurriedly lowered her head, her face growing hot.
She thought no one had noticed when¡
¡°What are you doing, old man? The newlywed couple is just being affectionate. Surely you¡¯re not spying on them! Learn to read the room!¡± At the words of Lady Huo, everyone at the table looked at Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen.
Su Wanwan was at a loss for words.
My goodness, you really have a loud voice.
Old Man Huo¡¯s face and neck reddened.
He was sat next to Huo Jingshen and had just caught a glimpse of them when the remark was made, what do they mean by spying?
He red at his foolish old wife and said nothing.
Only Huo Jingshen remainedposed, with a faint smile on his lips, he even stood up, picked up a spoon, and started serving soup.
Xing Siqing across the table clenched her fist fiercely.
Shameless!
Flirting in front of the elders, who knows what seductive tricks she used to bewitch him in bed.
No wonder he¡¯s head over heels for her!
She¡¯s simply a vile woman!
With jealous eyes and angry expression, she was quickly noticed by Huo Qinyu sitting next to her, who nudged her daughter under the table.
Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, about to say something when¡
¡°Oh, what is that on Wanwan¡¯s hand? A wedding ring?¡± Lady Huo made a new discovery again.
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Because Huo Jingshen served her a bowl of silver fungus and lotus seed soup, she merely reached out to take it, then¡
¡°Ashen also has one on.¡± Lady Huo was overjoyed, ¡°Ah, newlyweds are always so sentimental, wearing their wedding rings everywhere. Unlike your grandfather, that insensible old man.¡±
Old Man Huo: ¡°¡¡±
This is ridiculous¡
Both already old and they¡¯re saying we should still wear our wedding rings?
As for Xing Siqing, upon seeing the diamond ring on Su Wanwan¡¯s left ring finger, her eyes bulged out, feeling like an absurdity.
Did the two of theme out tonight to show off their affection?
They¡¯ve been married for so long?
Suddenly wearing wedding rings?
And such arge diamond ring?
Out of rage, she could no longer restrain herself, grabbing her mobile phone and mming it on the table.
The loud noise naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention at the table.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with Siqing?¡± Lady Huo furrowed her brows in discontent.
Huo Qinyu quickly got up, ¡°It¡¯s alright, mom, she said she has a stomachache. Siqing,e with me to the restroom.¡±
Xing Siqing was reluctantly pulled up.
**
Once they got into the restroom, Huo Qinyu sounded a harsh warning, ¡°What exactly are you doing? Didn¡¯t we agree? Tonight¡¯s dinner is a rare asion with your grandparents, why are you creating havoc? Can¡¯t you act mature?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t take it!¡± Xing Siqing screamed, ¡°Every time I think of how she got me sent to the property sales department, and my brother got sent to Jiangcheng, I get so angry, I can¡¯t help it!¡±
¡°Are you an idiot?¡± Huo Qinyu was exasperated, ¡°Your grandparents are here, and you¡¯re picking a fight with her? You¡¯re looking for a way to lose face? Haven¡¯t you been taught enough lessons?¡±
¡°¡¡± Xing Siqing bit her lip, panting heavily.
¡°You purposely brought up that Wanwan hasn¡¯t given any gifts yet. What are you trying to do? How many times have I told you? No matter how upset you are, Wanwan is now married to Ashen, she is your sister-inw! Even if you¡¯re unhappy, at least pretend to act like family! Got it?¡± Huo Qinyu scolded angrily, ¡°If you keep acting like you did just now, you¡¯ll be the one suffer, and don¡¯t expect me to help you!¡±
Huo Qinyu had a splitting headache.
How did she give birth to such a foolish daughter?
She¡¯s been fooled by Su Wanwan so many times, why hasn¡¯t she learned to be wary?
Can¡¯t she even pretend?
¡°Did you hear what I said?¡±
¡°I got it!¡± Xing Siqing said impatiently.
Huo Qinyu took a deep breath, ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±
**
After the birthday banquet, Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu saw everyone off to their cars.
When everyone had left, Mingzhu suddenly turned around and grabbed Huo Zhexi¡¯s ear, ¡°You little rascal, tell me, what kind of mischief were you up to when you swiped my card just now?¡±
Huo Zhexi was in pain, grimacing, ¡°Mom, I just¡ just lent some money to a friend.¡±
¡°Nonsense! Who borrows money down to the penny?¡±
Huo Zhexi felt aggrieved, ¡°¡¡±
He had spent more than a hundred thousand to buy a Qinghua Porcin Tea Set as a birthday gift for his father, only to have Su Wenwen, that damned girl, take the credit. And he had to swallow his indignation¡.
This was utterly stupid!
Meanwhile in the car, Su Wanwan asked, ¡°When did you prepare that Qinghua Porcin Tea Set?¡±
She had been kept in the dark, considering the gift was in the car all along.
Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, ¡°Are you happy?¡±
Su Wanwan nodded.
She had gained some face, of course she was happy.
Then Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°How is my darling nning to thank her husband who made her look good?¡±
Su Wanwan looked at him, suddenly leaned over, and lightly touched his cheek.
As she was about to pull away, he grabbed her hand.
Chapter 443: 443, Xiaobai is angry
Chapter 443: Xiaobai is angry
Huo Jingshen held the steering wheel with one hand while he held her small hand with the other.
Su Wanwan tried to pull her hand away, but he gripped her even more tightly.
¡°Focus on driving,¡± she said.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes and responded nomittally with a ¡°Hmm.¡±
They stopped at a red light, and Su Wanwan quickly withdrew her hand. She red at him and said adamantly, ¡°If you don¡¯t drive properly, I will!¡±
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. ¡°Not in your dreams.¡±
¡°Then drive properly!¡± Su Wanwan immediately said again.
¡°No problem.¡± Huo Jingshen implied two meanings with hisment, ¡°I¡¯m an experienced driver.¡±
Su Wanwan: ¡°¡¡±
Isn¡¯t he an ¡®experienced driver¡¯, indeed?
An old man who always talked about driving as if he was piloting a train.
If it wasn¡¯t for his good looks, decent work abilities, and satisfactory social skills¡
She would have been fooled by him.
*

Meanwhile, at the old Mo Family mansion.
As soon as Xiao Yebai entered, the Mo patriarch called him into a meeting. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi was sat there, eating sweet dumplings.
After finishing a small bowl of sweets, Mo Weiyi looked at the empty living room and couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Where¡¯s my aunt?¡±
Could she still be in the hospital?
The maid quietly replied, ¡°Little Princess, the old master was very angryst night and had us pack up all of Mistress Qu and her daughter¡¯s things to throw out.¡±
¡°Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi nodded.
After what happenedst night, it wasn¡¯t surprising that grandfather was angry.
She checked the forums and Weibo today, and there were still plenty of high-definition videos fromst night being circted.
This Qu Yunyao really didn¡¯t love herself and even involved the Mo Family, making them the focus of public opinion!
Moreover, will grandfather vent his anger on Xiaobai?
Mo Weiyi quickly jumped up, ready to rush to the study.
Just then, the room door opened, and Xiao Yebai came out in his wheelchair.
Mo Weiyi hurried over, ¡°Xiaobai, are you okay?¡±
She checked him over, making sure he was alright, before calling out, ¡°Grandpa.¡±
The Mo patriarch: ¡°¡¡±
His heart was not at peace, but what could he do?
He couldn¡¯t get angry with his favorite granddaughter.
Taking a deep breath, the Mo patriarch said, ¡°Your aunt will move out and live elsewhere. Your cousin is in the hospital now, after recovering, she will go to study in France.¡±
¡°Study what?¡± Mo Weiyi immediately asked.
¡°She said she¡¯s interested in film.¡± The Mo patriarch said sinctly.
¡°Okay,¡± Mo Weiyi thought that this might be for the best. At least with her out of the way, she can have some peace.
After finishing dinner, it was gettingte. With the rain outside starting again, they decided to stay the night.
When they returned to the North vi, Mo Weiyi immediately grabbed her backpack, pulled Xiao Yebai into the study, and said, ¡°Xiaobai, help me with my homework.¡±
In terms of studying, she thought her husband was more reliable. His exnations were simple and easy to understand. He was a better teacher than Chen Jin, who was tutoring her.
Xiao Yebai checked the time. ¡°It¡¯s 9:30.¡±
¡°We still have half an hour. Help me finish this then we can go to bed, okay?¡± Mo Weiyi clung to his arm, disying her charm. ¡°Please, Xiaobai, Xiaobai is the best, help me¡ ¡±
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow but finally sat down at the desk behind her and started exining.
After all, even with his help, she wouldn¡¯t be able to get into the top ten in her ss.
Reason: Her foundation was too weak!
¡
¡
Half an hourter, Xiao Yebai stood up urately. ¡°It¡¯s ten o¡¯clock now.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s regr bedtime for maintaining her beauty was ten o¡¯clock.
Although she was often dyed.
While she was packing up her textbooks, Xiao Yebai went to the bookshelf as if he wanted to fetch a book.
Suddenly.
¡°One of the books is missing.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Mo Weiyi raised her head, just in time to see Xiao Yebai standing in front of the bookshelf and precisely stating, ¡°Where¡¯s your first-year English textbook?¡±
Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡¡±
Holy crap!
She knew her husband was meticulous, but¡ could he really remember the contents of her small bookshelf that clearly?
Wasn¡¯t he simply a monster?
In fact, this vi was originally for Xiao Yebai to live in alone, but for a while after their marriage, she also lived here. At that time, she had to whine, create drama, and threaten extreme measures before he reluctantly allocated a little space for her books.
Now, she deeply regretted it.
The sharp ck eyes were already looking at her, from a higher position, forcing her to confess, ¡°Did you take it?¡±
Mo Weiyi could only nod.
Xiao Yebai continued to ask, ¡°What did you do with it?¡±
Mo Weiyi squeezed her little ws, exining, ¡°Last time, didn¡¯t I lose the textbook Ling Zhizhou borrowed from me? I feel really bad about it, so¡¡±
¡°So you gave the textbook to him.¡± The man¡¯s voice was indifferent.
¡°Yes.¡± Mo Weiyi felt inexplicably apprehensive, ¡°Xiaobai, are you angry?¡±
Xiao Yebai¡¯s answer had nothing to do with her question, ¡°Every book of yours has my name in it.¡±
¡°Uh¡¡± Mo Weiyi knew this, of course.
Ever since she started high school, she would pesteringly get Xiao Yebai to write her name in each of her textbooks. But now¡
¡°You said you would take good care of them.¡±
¡°I¡¡±
¡°Why did you give them to someone else now?¡± Xiao Yebai¡¯s voice was not loud, but it carried a great pressure.
¡°I was wrong.¡± Mo Weiyi immediately apologized, ¡°I will ask him to give it back tomorrow.¡±
Xiao Yebai looked at her, the corners of his lips suddenly hooking up in a shallow arc. It wasn¡¯tughter, but distinct mockery.
He said, ¡°No need.¡±
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
Mo Weiyi stood there, she couldn¡¯t recover for a long time,
It¡¯s over, Xiaobai is really angry this time.

Mo Weiyi fell in love with Xiao Yebai at first sight when she was 10 years old.
Since then, in front of outsiders, the lofty Little Princess became a follower in front of Xiao Yebai.
Although Xiao Yebai was only 15 at the time, he was already over 1.8 meters tall, his face was indifferent, he had a handsome face, and he was a handsome and graceful teenager.
But Mo Weiyi had ate growth spurt, her height only reaching up to his legs at the time. The contrast of them standing together made her look like¡ a dwarf.
This little dwarf wore an impossiblyplex princess dress and followed him every day.
Mo Yaoxiong told her at the time, ¡°His name is Xiao Yebai, he will be your brother in the future, you must call him Brother Yebai.¡±
But Mo Weiyi disagreed, ¡°This brother is so beautiful, it¡¯s a waste for him to be a brother, he should be my husband in the future!¡±
So she called him Xiaobai.
Chasing him every day, shouting ¡°Xiaobai¡±, ¡°Xiaobai¡±.
The pride of a teenager, the sensitivity and self-esteem of living under other people¡¯s roofs made Xiao Yebai extremely disgusted with this nickname.
He felt that Mo Weiyi was like calling a puppy¡¯s name.
In turn, he was filled with annoyance towards this so-called ¡°sister¡±.
The most serious time, he directly pushed Mo Weiyi to the ground.
The little dwarf was never treated so rudely from childhood till now.
More importantly, she was so fond of him.
She cried bitterly on the spot, which invited the wrath of Old Master Mo and family punishment.
Therefore, for a long period of seven years, the rtionship between the two was twisted like this: He found Mo Weiyi annoying and preferred to stay away. However, Mo Weiyi¡¯s feelings for him were consistent, always clinging persistently.
As for Old Man Mo, undoubtedly, he was the consolidant of this rtionship.
He loved his only granddaughter the most, indulging her with everything she asked for. Whenever Mo Weiyi made a request, if Xiao Yebai dared not agree, the old man would force him to do so with hismand.
The requests were varied and even unbelievable at times.
One of these requests was that every time school started and she received new books, Mo Weiyi would ask Xiao Yebai to write her name for her.
The reason Mo Weiyi gave at the time was that every time she used it and was asked by ssmates, she could proudly say that it was her boyfriend who wrote it for her.
But now it seemed that she didn¡¯t cherish the name he wrote and the things he gave her that much.
After all, she gave it to another boy so casually, didn¡¯t she?

That night, Xiao Yebai¡¯s handsome face was frozen over; he didn¡¯t say much, just acting extremely indifferent.
Mo Weiyi knew she was in the wrong, so she immediately ordered the textbook online. The next morning when she got to school, she sent a message to Ling Zhizhou.
[Where are you, do you have time now, I need to see you.]
[I am in ssroom 1102.] Ling Zhizhou replied like this.
Is he having ss?
Mo Weiyi directly called Su Wanwan to apany her.
¡
1102, the lecture hall.
It was the first year ofw school, which was a publicw course for three sses. Right now, the room was jam-packed.
The old professor was going on and on up there. Suddenly, Ling Zhizhou, who was sitting in the front row, got up with his textbook and walked to the back of the lecture hall.
The ssmates in the vicinity looked on and found it strange.
It was hard to get a seat in the old professor¡¯s ss, so why would Ling Zhizhou vacate it and suddenly go back?
Before long, there was suddenly amotion in the ssroom.
Chapter 444: 444, too much jealousy
Chapter 444: too much jealousy
¡°Wow, it¡¯s the school belle!¡±
¡°And the news department belle too!¡±
¡°Two beautiful girls huh!¡±
¡°Who do you think is prettier?¡±
¡°I like that Su Wanwan, she looks so innocent!¡±
¡°I think the school belle is prettier!¡±
¡°If you ask me, they¡¯re both gorgeous!¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Silence!¡± The chalkboard eraser was harshly pped on the desk, and the whole ssroom fell silent.
The old professor pushed up his sses, turning his gaze towards the door.
Mo Weiyi stood at the door, Su Wanwan stood beside her.
Both girls were young and beautiful, with ttering dress sense. Thew department was male-dominant, and as first-years amidst adolescence, it¡¯s no wonder that they were instantly mesmerised.
The old professor coughed twice, ¡°Who are you two looking for?¡±
Mo Weiyi offered the professor a bright, sweet smile, ¡°Hello professor, is Ling Zhizhou here?¡±
¡°Ling Zhizhou, they¡¯re looking for you!¡± A boy nearby quickly shouted.
Ling Zhizhou lifted his head from the textbook, took a look and then stood up, ¡°Sorry Mr. Wu, they are looking for me.¡±
He sat at the back of the ssroom. Right at that moment, all eyes in the ssroom were on him and people began to discuss.
¡°Wow, this guy is really lucky.¡±
¡°I heard he¡¯s been getting close with the school belle recently.¡±
¡°No wonder she personally came to the ssroom to find him!¡±
¡°Jealous!¡±
¡°¡¡±
Amidst everyone¡¯s curiosity, envy, and teasing gazes, Ling Zhizhou calmly made his way from his seat, then left the ssroom.
**
Outside the ssroom.
Mo Weiyi started with some embarrassment, ¡°Ling Zhizhou, do you still have the English textbook I lent youst time?¡±
¡°Yeah, I do.¡± Ling Zhizhou nodded, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Mo Weiyi felt even more embarrassed, ¡°Can I have that textbook back now? Don¡¯t worry, I already bought a new one for you and I¡¯ll give it to you once it arrives.¡±
Ling Zhizhou¡¯s gaze slightly flickered, but the warm smile still remained on his face, ¡°You need it back, senior?¡±
Of course Mo Weiyi was too shy to tell the reason, so she just said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. But I don¡¯t have English ss today, so I didn¡¯t bring it. I can bring it to you at lunch after I go back to the dorm, okay?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Mo Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. **
At noon.
In the small cafeteria on the second floor, after finishing their lunch, Su Wanwan was waiting with Mo Weiyi.
After almost twenty minutes, the person still didn¡¯t show up, and she couldn¡¯t help butined, ¡°It¡¯s just a broken book, why are you messing around so much?¡±
Mo Weiyi exined everything thoroughly.
Su Wanwan was even more speechless, ¡°Your husband is really too jealous, isn¡¯t he?¡±
Just because he wrote his name on a no-longer-used textbook, was it necessary?
Mo Weiyi said, ¡°How would I know he would found out? I put all my textbooks from the first and second year together, and he still managed to find it. If only I hadn¡¯t gone home for dinnerst night.¡±
This is really attracting trouble for herself.
Thankfully, Ling Zhizhou soon arrived and ced the English textbook on the table, ¡°Here you go, senior.¡±
Mo Weiyi quickly thanked him, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Upon opening the textbook, she froze. The page on the inside of the cover, with her name on it, had been torn off!
Ling Zhizhou hurriedly exined, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior, I forgot to tell you that I tore off the first page. Is that okay?¡±
Mo Weiyi¡¯s little face scrunched up, nearly crying, ¡°Why did you tear it?¡±
null¡±I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s all my fault. I thought this book was given to me, so I wanted to erase your name and write mine, but I didn¡¯t notice the damage at the time. I could just die¡ I¡¯m really sorry.¡±
