    Nanchang International Airport, at eight o¡¯clock in the evening


    After spending two years in M Country, she had almost forgotten how hot the summer in Nanchang was. Even at night, it was stuffy.


    When Su Wanwan finally arrived at the parking lot, there was already a thinyer of sweat on her forehead.


    She had wavy jet ck hair that stopped at her waist. Her off-shoulder floral chiffon blouse was paired with indigo denim shorts, showing off her slender legs and a pair of pretty white shoes. Her smooth skin was fair and unblemished.


    As she took out her cell phone to call her best friend, a red Maybach stopped in front of her.


    Right on time! She truly was a good friend.


    Su Wanwan immediately strode over to the car and opened the back seat door. She slid into the car seat, enjoying the strong air conditioning.


    ¡®So cooling! Perfect for this kind of weather,¡¯ Su Wanwan mused happily.


    ¡°Is there a problem here?¡± A deep voice rumbled beside her.


    Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked to her right. Her eyes widened in shock.


    A man?!


    He was wearing a spotless white shirt that was exquisitely tailored, paired with a dark-colored tie that looked expensive. He was handsome and dignified in his formal clothing, hinting that he could be an elite businessman of sorts.


    The lighting in the car highlighted his chiseled face and sharp features, and under thick eyebrows were a pair of narrowed eyes as dark as obsidian. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and an angr jawline that looked like it had been carved by the gods themselves.


    In short, this man in front of her was extremely alluring, with irresistable good looks and charm.


    At that moment, the man in question was staring at this strange girl who had rushed into his car. His brows were furrowed as he scowled impatiently.


    Her cell phone suddenly started ringing, and Su Wanwan regained her senses as she answered the call.


    ¡°Wanwan darling, the entrance over here is blocked. Don¡¯t worry, I should be there in about ten minutes.¡± Her best friend Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice sounded from the other end of the line.


    Su Wanwan was speechless. ¡°¡­ Got it.¡±


    Turns out she had gotten into the wrong car.


    After ending the call, Su Wanwan hurriedly exined, ¡°Sorry, I got into the wrong car.¡±


    The man did not reply, his handsome face impassive.


    Embarrassed and humiliated, Su Wanwan turned to get out of the car when another male voice cheerfully rang out: ¡°She just got into the wrong car, it¡¯s not like she did something bad! Big bro, do you really have to be that fierce? You¡¯re scaring the poor girl.¡±


    Frowning, Su Wanwan turned to the person in the driver¡¯s seat. She knew that her appearance made it easy for people to say things like that.


    ¡°Miss, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± The young man in the driver¡¯s seat smiled and said earnestly, ¡°My elder brother has always been like this. He might seem cold but he¡¯s actually never had a girlfriend before, so he¡¯s still an amateur¡ª¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a dog barking echoed in the car, making Su Wanwan jump.


    ¡°Woof!¡± Right after that, a ck shadow swooped out from under the car seat and leaped right into Su Wanwan¡¯sp.


    ¡°Ahh!¡± Su Wanwan was so frightened that her indifferent expression turned into one of terror, her face going pale. She instinctively tried to hide behind the man in the backseat as she shrieked, ¡°Help me! Ahhh!¡±


    Nangong Ci stopped talking, stunned at the scene unfolding before him.


    Well, damn!


    He admitted that his elder brother was handsome enough that any women would want to pounce on him as soon as they saw him, but a woman throwing herself into his arms during their first meeting?


    Miss, you are definitely the first.


    Agh, he could not stand it!


    He had just been trying to make a joke to ease her serious expression when he noticed that she was actually quite beautiful. However, he really didn¡¯t expect her to be so bold.


    Fortunately, the soundproofing in his car was very good and the car windows were all tinted, so passerbys could not see the inside of the car. Otherwise, who knows what people might have thought.


    ¡°KO.¡± His brother¡¯s low voice interrupted his train of thought.


    As soon as it heard its name, the wolfhound barked again and began jumping about, its tail wagging vigorously.


    Su Wanwan was so frightened that she was about to lose her voice.


    The reason for her phobia was because of a very bad experience she had when she was a child. The only thing that she was afraid of was dogs, especially big dogs like this.


    At that moment, she didn¡¯t even dare look up. She could only twist her body as she desperately tried to escape from the dog. Su Wanwan only saw the man sitting beside her as something to save her from this beast.


    In the chaos, she did not even realize that she was very much disturbing that particr man.


    Huo Jingshen was still sitting there, his lips pressed together tightly. It was obvious that he was not very pleased at the moment.

    When the wolfhound suddenly barked again, Su Wanwan was so frightened that she could only tremble in fear.


    As she was about to struggle again, a pair of big strong hands belonging to a man had already held her shoulders in a firm manner.


    After pulling her away from his body, he threw her aside immediately. After that, Huo Jingshen frowned and he had a very disgusted expression on his face.


    His deep voice sounded again, ¡°KO. Are you still going to cause trouble?¡±


    The wolfhound whimpered before it finally squatted down and went back to its seat obediently.


    The car door was suddenly opened.


    Su Wanwan protected her own face and she did not even want to say anything else. She simply jumped out of the car as quickly as she could before she mmed the car door behind with a bang.¡±


    The carriage was silent for a whole three seconds.


    After that.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Nangong Ci could not help butugh out loud. ¡°Big bro, your dog has very good taste, right? Is it trying to help you out because it saw that the girl is actually quite pretty too? Good boy. It almost made that girl¡¯s shorts¡­¡±


    Huo Jingshen red at him with a deep and cold expression on his face so that he would shut his mouth.


    But¡­


    ¡°But big bro, you have pretty good luck with women. Look, even your shirt is already smudged now,¡± Nangong Ci could not help but continue speaking.


    Huo Jingshen lowered his head.


    As expected.


    At this time, his originally white and spotless shirt had now be a piece of messy and wrinkled cloth because of Su Wanwan. What was even worse was that there was a big patch on his white shirt which had already been smudged by her red lipstick.


    White color, red color¡­it was inexplicably conspicuous.


    ¡°Big bro.¡± When he saw the slightly startled expression on the man¡¯s voice, Nangong Ci¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°What do you think of that youngdy just now?¡±


    Huo Jingshen lifted his eyes with a cold expression on his face. However, his voice was even colder as he said, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    As soon as he saw the deadly cold re on the man¡¯s face, Nangong Ci could not help but feel a little confused. He trembled a little as he said, ¡°Well¡­just¡­what do you think of her appearance?¡±


    Huo Jingshen narrowed his ck eyes slightly.


    He had an extremely cold and indifferent expression on his face.


    In the next second, he replied, ¡°She has pretty fair skin.¡±


    Nangong Ci: ¡°¡­¡±


    The muscles on his face twitched a little.


    Damn it! His brother was like a surprise package!


    Huo Jingshen was pretending to be so serious and decent, that Nangong Ci actually thought that he had said something wrong. He was so scared that he was already sweating profusely on his back.


    **


    Half an hourter, in a ck and luxurious Mercedes Benz. The princess of the Mo family stared at her friend with her big and ck eyes, with a puzzled and surprised look on her face.


    This was because her good friend Su Wanwan was busy fixing her makeup as soon as she got into her car.


    Her hair was disheveled and she had a panicked expression on her face. Her lipstick was already mottled, as though it had just been chewed on¡­


    ¡°Wanwan darling, you are really bing more lustful. Those who studied abroad must all be very different. Is it because the people abroad are particrly open-minded? I really did not expect you to be so adventurous and fun like this. You even had to do it on the ne¡­¡±


    ¡°Pervert Mo, can you be a little more decent?!¡± Su Wanwan asked as she shut the makeup mirror with a snap!


    She had already fixed her lipstick and tidied up her messy and disheveled hair. At this time, her exquisite makeup was on point and it really brought out her stunning facial features. She was absolutely beautiful at a nce.


    ¡°I got into someone else¡¯s car by mistake just now and almost got bitten by a dog that was in the car. That is the reason why I ended up looking like this.¡±


    As soon as she heard this exnation, Mo Weiyi narrowed her beautiful cat eyes as she smiled and said, ¡°What kind of dog? Is it a perverted dog? What does he look like?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a wolfhound!¡± Su Wanwan replied as she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°It¡¯s a dog that is covered with ck fur¡­a big wolfhound! A dog! Not a man!¡±


    Mo Weiyi: ¡°¡­¡±


    Su Wanwan was really speechless as she faced her best friend.


    They had not seen each other for two years now, but she was still so¡­perverted!


    ¡°Stop talking any more nonsense! Hurry up and send me back to the Su family vi.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh.¡± Mo Weiyi pouted her mouth slightly as she instructed the driver to start driving.


    After the car left the airport, she could not help but give a kind reminder, ¡°By the way, Wanwan, I heard that Grandpa Su had already been hospitalized for a long time. He has not recovered or been discharged from the hospital yet.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Su Wanwan did not say anything in response.


    She simply looked out the window quietly. She has an amazing side profile, a slender and beautiful neck and the expression in her eyes looked slightly deserted.


    Although she looked extremely calm, her tight red lips exposed the fact that she was actually feeling rather nervous and anxious at this time.


    Mo Weiyi was a little worried.


    Although Su Wanwan was the eldest daughter of the Su family, she was not the biological daughter of Jiang Yi, who was the mistress of the Su family.


    Su Wanwan¡¯s mother died in the hospital because of dystocia when she was giving birth to her in the past. She was subsequently brought home from the orphanage by Grandpa Su. At that time, Su Yuntang had already gotten married to Jiang Yi.


    Aside from Grandpa Su, none of the other members of the Su family looked forward to the sudden return of this supposedly eldest granddaughter of the Su family.


    The precious youngdy and daughter of the Su family that was known to the public, was also not her. Instead, it was Jiang Yi¡¯s biological daughter, Su Yanyan who was two years younger than her.


    Everyone in Nanchang knew that Su Yanyan was going to hold her engagement ceremony next month. However, no one knew that Su Yanyan¡¯s betrothed partner was actually Xing Yuyun, who had already be Su Wanwan¡¯s fianc¨¦ two years ago.


    That meant that Su Wanwan had been cheated on!


    This time, she specially made this trip back to China to catch her two-timing fianc¨¦ red-handed!


    However, Grandpa Su was still lying in the hospital. If Su Wanwan returned to the Su family along, wouldn¡¯t she get bullied by the bunch of brutes again?


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back with you!¡± Mo Weiyi said immediately. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I am really good at arguing and quarreling with people!¡±


    ¡°Forget it.¡± Su Wanwan turned down her help lightly. ¡°This is just a small matter and not a big deal anyway. I can handle it on my own. It would be better if you do note along with me. Otherwise, I would be distracted if I have to take care of you and look out for you too.¡±


    Mo Weiyi who had been despised: ¡°¡­¡±


    She admitted that she was instead physically weaker, but¡­


    Wasn¡¯t it a big deal if her scumbag sister stole her fianc¨¦ whom she had already been engaged to for two years?


    Although Xing Yuyun was a scumbag and it wouldn¡¯t matter if she were to lose him, the fact was that she got two-timed by a scumbag¡­it would not be good for this kind of news to get out to the public.

    Forty minutester, at the Su family vi.


    After her best friend drove off, Su Wanwan pressed the doorbell outside the gate.


    It was Aunty Yang, the maid working for the Su family, who came to open the gate. She stared at Su Wanwan in confusion, only recognizing her after a while. ¡°Oh my god! Miss, when did you get back?¡±


    Su Wanwan had been sent to study in Los Angeles when she was eighteen years old, and had note home for the past two years.


    Aunty Yang remembered her as a young girl with short hair and extremely heavy makeup. She looked nothing like the fair and beautiful young woman standing in front of her now!


    ¡°Aunty Yang.¡± Su Wanwan pushed up the sleeves of her chiffon blouse with a cold expression, as if she was preparing for a fight. ¡°Is Su Yanyan at home now?¡±


    ¡°Umm¡­ The second youngdy? The second youngdy is¡­¡± Aunty Yang hesitated for a moment.


    It was aplicated situation. Young Master Xing seemed a little drunk after their meal just now, so the second youngdy said that she would bring him upstairs to her bedroom so that he could rest for a while. She had even asked everyone not to go upstairs and disturb them.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to guess what they were doing now.


    Aunty Yang was still hesitating when Su Wanwan pushed past her and stormed into the courtyard.


    **


    The second floor of the vi.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Su Wanwan knocked loudly on the door.


    Very soon, the bedroom door opened and a strong rose scent filled the air as a voice demanded, ¡°What¡¯s the problem, Aunty Yang?¡±


    It was Su Yanyan.


    She was only eighteen this year, but she was a little too mature for her age.


    She had bangs and straight ck hair up to her waist, with delicate features to match her fair skin. At the moment, she was only wearing a thin suspender nightdress, which made it easy to figure out what she had just been up to.


    When she saw Su Wanwan who she had not seen for two years standing outside her bedroom door, Su Yanyan was stunned. ¡°Oh my god! Elder sister? Why are you here?¡±


    Su Wanwan could not help but sneer at Su Yanyan¡¯s exaggerated performance. After all, the both of them had been living under the same roof for more than ten years, but this was the first time Su Yanyan had actually called her ¡®sister¡¯. Unsurprisingly, it was only in private.


    The sun was really rising from the west today.


    Su Yanyan was smiling very sweetly, seemingly pure and harmless.


    ¡°Elder sister, why did youe back without saying anything at all? I thought that it was Aunty Yang who was knocking on my bedroom door. Brother Yun was pestering me just now¡­¡± Su Yanyan hesitated for a moment as though she was too ashamed to continued speaking, then suddenly changed the topic: ¡°By the way, Aunty Yang, where is the ss of water that I asked for? Hurry up, he is very thirsty.¡±


    ¡°Okay, second youngdy, please give me a moment,¡± Aunty Yang said slowly, looking at Su Wanwan worriedly.


    The young master of the Xing family had gotten into a marriage contract with the eldest youngdy two years ago, with Grandpa Su and the old man of the Xing family making the agreement face-to-face. However, not too long ago, Xing Yuyun suddenly became the second youngdy¡¯s fianc¨¦ instead. Grandpa Su was so troubled by it that he ended up being hospitalized.


    It really was a crime!


    ¡°Aunty Yang, why are you still standing around? My fianc¨¦e is very thirsty and he wants to drink some water. Didn¡¯t you hear what I just said?¡± Su Yanyan prompted.


    ¡°Okay, I will go and get it right away,¡± Aunty Yang replied finally, then turned around and headed downstairs.


    Once she was gone, Su Yanyan immediately turned around to close the bedroom door.


    When she turned to face Su Wanwan again, her expression was malicious. ¡°I assume you received the photos I sent you? It¡¯s true ¨C Brother Yun and I have been together for six months now, ever since my eighteenth birthday. We only got together after receiving all of our friends¡¯ blessings.¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s tone was prim and arrogant. ¡°By the way, when you were with Brother Yun before this, was he also this clingy? He always-¡±


    Smack!


    Su Yanyan screamed and clutched her left cheek that had just been pped. Her eyes were wide in shock as she screeched furiously, ¡°Su Wanwan, you actually dare to hit me?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I did. For some reason, I felt really irritated when I saw your face. Why, do I have to choose an auspicious date and time before I can hit you?¡± Su Wanwan asked coolly, raising an eyebrow.


    ¡°You started to shamelessly seduce my fianc¨¦e a year ago, and became a third party in our rtionship. Instead of acting like a decent person and living humbly, you still dare to show off. You really are a champion seductress, Su Yanyan, you¡¯ve created a record that nobody can surpass! Since you couldn¡¯t wait to be a whore, you should have already been prepared to get hit by me. Isn¡¯t it a little toote for you to act surprised now?¡±


    ¡°I am a whore? If I am a whore, then what are you?¡± Su Yanyan stomped her foot, her face red in anger. Her features twisted as she sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re really the eldest youngdy of the Su family just because Grandpa is always protecting you. You are just an illegitimate daughter with a mother from an unknown background! Your mother is no better than me, and Dad did not have any feelings for her at all. You¡¯re only here today because Dad was set up by your mother!¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes narrowed, but Su Yanyan just smirked and continued, ¡°Dad doesn¡¯t even want to see you because he doesn¡¯t want to be reminded of the past. Why do you think he sent you to a boarding school, and then sent you abroad to study without allowing you toe home? It¡¯s because he hates you! Now, you are not just an illegitimate daughter but you are also a piece of trash that nobody wants. Even Xing Yuyun threw you away after he was done ying around with you. You have nothing and no one, so who do you think you are? What right do you have to pick a fight with me?¡±

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Su Wanwan asked coldly. Before Su Yanyan could respond, Su Wanwan swung her hand again.


    Smack!


    Su Yanyan shrieked as her other cheek throbbed from the p. Humiliated and angry, she rushed towards Su Wanwan to attack her.


    Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan merely stepped aside and Su Yanyan went crashing to the ground. Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes at her sister, and a few secondster¡­


    ¡°Brother Yun! Brother Yun!¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s pitiful cries resounded in the entire vi. As though everything had been rehearsed, the door to the room beside them swung open immediately.


    Jiang Yi or Mistress Su, who was Su Yanyan¡¯s mother, rushed out of the room, followed by her husband, Su Yuntang.


    When Jiang Yi saw her daughter crying miserably on the ground, arge red palm print on her cheek, she gasped and hurried over to help her up. ¡°Yanyan, what is going on?¡±


    ¡°Mom!¡± Su Yanyan whined, holding her cheek. ¡°Elder sister found out that I was with Brother Yun, and when I tried to exin things to her, she refused to listen and started hitting me instead!¡±


    Jiang Yi looked at Su Wanwan, a troubled expression on her face. She hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°Wanwan, why would you¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes, I hit her. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Su Wanwan replied challengingly as she folded her arms in front of her chest. ¡°She shamelessly seduced and hooked up with her elder sister¡¯s fianc¨¦e at such a young age. Since you, as her mother, do not know how to teach her proper manners and values, then as her sister, I should! She needs to learn courtesy, justice, integrity, and shame.¡±


    With each word Su Wanwan spoke, Jiang Yi¡¯s face turned paler and paler. Tears started welling up in her eyes, but she held them back and lowered her head quickly.


    The effect of this pitiful look was instant.


    ¡°Scoundrel!¡± Su Yuntang bellowed, striding over to Su Wanwan and pping her across the face.


    Su Wanwan¡¯s head swung from the impact, and she heardJiang Yi eximing loudly, ¡°Yuntang, what are you doing? How can you hit a child?¡±


    ¡°A child?! She will be twenty soon, but she is still so impudent! You are always being kind to her and speaking up for her, but look at her attitude! She has never once respected you or treated you as her elder before!¡±


    ¡°Yuntang, don¡¯t say that-¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s right.¡± Su Wanwan turned to face them before smiling slightly. ¡°When parents do not set a good example, their children will behave in the same manner. When I see people like her who instigate their own daughter to stick their nose in someone else¡¯s rtionship, I feel so disgusted that I want to vomit!¡±


    Su Wanwan looked at Su Yuntang with her beautiful phoenix eyes, ridicule and provocation clear in her gaze. The peach blossom mole under her right eyelid was even more prominent above the ring red palm print her father had given her.


    Su Yuntang always felt ufortable when he looked at the peach blossom mole on her face. It reminded him of that skittish woman he resented so deeply.


    Both mother and daughter actually had a peach blossom mole in the exact same ce.


    That was the biggest stain in Su Yuntang¡¯s life!


    He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger, but he could not stand it and raised his right hand to hit her again.


    ¡°Yuntang, don¡¯t. You can talk nicely if there is anything that you are unhappy with, but do not hit your own child,¡± Jiang Yi protested as she pretended to hold her husband back.


    Jiang Yi was forty this year, but because she spent so much to maintain her looks, she was still very slender and youthful. Her pitiful expression would have made anyone feel sorry for her.


    As the saying went: ¡®like mother like daughter¡¯. Both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan were extremely good actresses and experts in ying the role of a white lotus.


    In public, she was always the generous, gentle, and virtuous Mrs. Su who could even be patient with an illegitimate daughter like Su Wanwan.


    If Su Wanwan had not seen it for herself, she would never have believed that such a good person could deliberately have her cut herself on a broken dish so she could use her blood to do a paternity test in secret.


    ¡°Wanwan, I understand that you have suffered a lot of grievances and you feel seriously wronged. I also know that you like Yuyun very much, but¡­ you should know Yanyan¡¯s character, right? She just likes Yuyun very much, she did not mean to fight with you for his affection,¡± Jiang Yi exined slowly.


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Su Wanwan asked indifferently.


    She suddenly lowered her head and took an envelope out of her bag.


    She opened it, and started tossing pictures of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun together onto the ground. Every picture was shockingly intimate.


    It was horrifying!

    Chapter 5: I am Huo Jingshen


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°You are asking me whether I understand Su Yanyan¡¯s character?¡± Su Wanwan sneered as she met Su Yuntang¡¯s furious gaze. ¡°Does this make her a frivolous woman then? Imagine if people found out that Director Su¡¯s precious second daughter likes sharing her private moments with others. Would they think she was really desperate, or that she¡¯s aplete psychopath? Even if she is not ashamed of herself, I feel sick just looking at these!¡±


    Jiang Yi hurriedly picked up the pictures from the ground as she exined, ¡°Wanwan, these pictures were all secretly taken by reporters. Yanyan does not know anything about these at all, she is just a victim in this situation. Why would she want to send this kind of photos to anyone-¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin anything to her,¡± Su Yuntang interrupted his wife impatiently. ¡°Yuyun and Yanyan are happy, and the Xing family has already epted their engagement. What¡¯s done is done and no one else can mess it up! These photos should be destroyed immediately.¡±


    He looked at Su Wanwan and said icily, ¡°As for you¡­ Go back to Los Angeles immediately!¡±


    Su Wanwan could not help but scoff.


    He might be her father, but he was biased to the extreme! She was clearly the victim in this matter, and even had solid evidence, but her father chose to side with his other precious daughter instead.


    ¡°Did you hear what I said?¡± Su Yuntang roared.


    Su Wanwan did not reply, looking past the people before her to a familiar figure.


    Xing Yuyun was standing there indark blue silk pyjamas, looking charismatic and handsome. She did not know when he had appeared.


    His hair was dripping wet after a shower, and water droplets rolled down the side of his face. She could see red marks on his face which were obviously scratch marks left behind by someone.


    This was the fianc¨¦e that her grandfather had arranged for her in a marriage contract two years ago, who was now engaged to her step-sister.


    Su Wanwan felt nauseous just thinking about it!


    ¡°I feel dirty just by looking at such a shameless person!¡± Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes at Su Yanyan, then said sardonically, ¡°If he did this once, then he can definitely do it again. I advise you to keep him on a tight leash in the future, or else your dog will be lured away by meat elsewhere.¡±


    After that, Su Wanwan turned around and left.


    Jiang Yi called out, ¡°Wanwan!¡±


    ¡°Let her leave!¡± Su Yuntang was so angry his face was flushed red. ¡°Just ignore her! She¡¯s dead to me anyway¡±


    Jiang Yi turned around to calm Su Yuntang down, and only then noticed Xing Yuyun standing at the corridor in the back.


    His face was ashen. He had obviously heard everything that Su Wanwan said just now.


    Su Yanyan walked over to him quickly. ¡°Brother Yun, you-¡±


    Xing Yuyun turned around and went back into the room without saying anything.


    ¡­


    The room was still very messy.


    Xing Yuyun immediately started to change his clothes after entering the room.


    Su Yanyan waited for him to acknowledge her, but he studiously ignored her so she was forced to approach him herself.


    She had known that Su Wanwan had booked a ne ticket back to China today, which was why she had invited Xing Yuyun to their house today. She had even put a little medicine in his red wine during dinner, and had thought of all the possible ways to get Su Wanwan to witness everything for herself and give up on himpletely.


    Now, she finally got what she wanted. She had been suffering for half a year, but now, she finally did what she set out to do.


    Su Yanyan felt very anxious. Who knew what would happen now-


    ¡°Ah!¡± She suddenly felt a sharp pain.


    Xing Yuyun was gripping her wrist tightly. His handsome face which had always been very gentle looked impossibly cold.


    Su Yanyan looked at him fearfully, wincing at the pain in her wrist. She had known him for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen this expression on Xing Yuyun¡¯s face.


    She asked in a soft voice, ¡°Brother Yun, what¡¯s wrong? You are holding my wrist too tightly, it hurts-¡±


    ¡°Why did Su Wanwan suddenly return to China?¡± Xing Yuyun asked directly, looking right into Su Yanyan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Su Yanyan pretended to be innocent as she whimpered, ¡°She pped my face twice and even pushed me down to the ground earlier. My face is still hurting and I think I sprained my foot.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Xing Yuyun sneered, ¡°What about those pictures that were on the ground just now then?¡±


    Did he see those pictures too?


    Su Yanyan became flustered and tried to exin herself, ¡°I¡­ I did not know how to exin our rtionship to her, so I secretly took those pictures. However, I sent them out by ident. I really did not mean to do it, who knew-¡±


    ¡°Do I look like a fool to you? Do you really think I¡¯ll believe such ame excuse?¡± Xing Yuyun scoffed, pulling his hand back sharply.


    Su Yanyan tumbled to the ground. Before she could react, the man had already finished changing his clothes and walked out.

    The Huo family vi, Nanchang X District Compound.


    Nangong Ci stopped the sports car before he smiled and said, ¡°Second brother invited us to y cards at his ce tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°I have something on tomorrow,¡± Huo Jingshen replied tonelessly.


    ¡°Second brother said that you have to be there because he¡¯s arranged for some prominent people to be there too. He said that there has to be more men there-¡±


    At that moment, an unfamiliar ringtone started ying.


    ¡°Woof!¡± KO suddenly pulled a cell phone out from under the car seat.


    Huo Jingshen picked it up, frowning. The phone casing was pink, and the device looked small in the man¡¯s huge palm.


    After ncing at the screen, Huo Jingshen answered the call. ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Who are you? Why are you answering Wanwan¡¯s phone?¡±


    Compared to the tense voice on on the other end of the line, Huo Jingshen¡¯s tone was calm as he replied, ¡°I am Huo Jingshen.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Elder brother?¡±

    Chapter 6: Trouble at the Bar


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson of the Huo family. Although they were cousins, Xing Yuyun rarely contacted him.


    He only knew that Huo Jingshen had migrated to Y Country with his second uncle and aunt long ago. After that, his parents passed away, one after the other. Three months ago, when the old master of the Huo family was suddenly diagnosed with advanced intestinal cancer, Huo Jingshen decided to return to China.


    The Huo family topped the ¡®four great families¡¯ in Nanchang. The ancestors of the Huo family had been talented and capable people who had pioneered the development of the country. The heritage and history that they had left behind could not be shaken by anyone.


    Old Master Huo took many risks in his early years, initially engaging in only real estate businesses. With their rapid business development, the Huo Yuan Group had already be the leader of the Nanchang Commercial Circle. Now, the subsidiaries of the Huo Yuan Group were involved not only in real estate and construction, but also in technology, finance, investment, and others.


    It could be said that as long as it was a profitable industry, the Huo family was probably involved. Old Master Huo had also been listed on the Forbes list of richest men recently.


    The Huo family had three grandsons at the time, but Old Master Huo had been having total control of the Huo Yuan Group for decades. Hence, everyone knew Huo Jingshen¡¯s reason for returning to China so suddenly.


    Xing Yuyun was naturally fearful of his cousin brother. He frowned as he asked, ¡°Brother, why is Wanwan¡¯s cell phone with you?¡±


    ¡°Wanwan?¡± The man¡¯s voice was deep, but he felt oddly affectionate uttering those two words.


    Xing Yuyun felt very ufortable when he heard it. ¡°Yes, Wanwan¡­ She¡­¡±


    Xing Yuyun was at a loss for words.


    He did not know how to exin theplicated rtionship he had with Su Wanwan to this cousin brother of his whom he was not that close to.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to hang up if there is nothing else. I am busy.¡±


    Xing Yuyun was still in shock when Huo Jingshen ended the call.


    ***


    At a bar, around ten o¡¯ clock at night.


    Deafening music was ying as young men and women danced wildly on the dance floor in a drunken stupor.


    Su Wanwan was seated at a table in the corner as she picked up a bottle of beer and downed it in one gulp. Very soon, the table was filled with empty beer bottles. She was about to pick up another bottle of beer when-


    ¡°Su Wanwan!¡±


    Su Wanwan looked up, squinting her beautiful almond-shaped eyes at the person in front of her.


    ¡°Su Wanwan, you don¡¯t remember me anymore?¡± Huo Zexi smiled as he sat down opposite her. ¡°I¡¯m Huo Zexi. We met two years ago when Yuyun and I went to visit Grandpa Su during the New Year. Have you forgotten about it already?¡±


    Although he was being very warm and cordial, Su Wanwan was indifferent towards him. She did not even respond to him, and instead just picked up another bottle of beer and continued drinking.


    Huo Zexi also picked up a bottle of beer, thinking of clinking their bottles. ¡°I heard that you went to Los Angeles to further your studies after that. We haven¡¯t seen each other in two years now. Why didn¡¯t you say anything abouting back?¡±


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s smile disappeared as soon as he heard those words.


    What did she just say?


    Did she know just how many women in Nanchang were trying all sorts of things to get to know him? He was the one taking the initiative to talk to her, but she actually dared ask him to get lost?


    He was the youngest grandson of Huo Yuanshan, the richest man in Nanchang, as well asthe third young master of the Huo family!


    He also had two of his friends with him today and they were also rich young masters in Nanchang. How could he possibly continue mingling in this circle if news about what happened here today got out?


    Huo Zexi mmed the beer bottle down angrily and snarled, ¡°Say that to me again if you have the guts!¡±


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Huo Zexi was speechless.


    She actually dared to repeat herself?!


    ¡°Did I hear wrongly? Zexi, she actually asked you to get lost! Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°Zexi, losing your influence already?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s actually a woman that Young Master Huo can¡¯t handle?¡±


    ¡°This is really an eye-opener. Hahaha!¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s friends didn¡¯t give Huo Zexi any chance to defend himself.


    He grabbed Su Wanwan¡¯s wrist and growled, ¡°You¡¯d better apologize to me!¡±


    Su Wanwan put down her beer bottle and nced at him from the corner of her eye.


    She was naturally a very beautiful girl and under the dim lighting in the bar, her face looked even more exquisite. Her eyes were gleaming and the peach blossom mole at the corner of her eye made her look even more seductive and charming.


    Her hand felt delicate in his, and this made Huo Zexi¡¯s heart sway. His tone softened immediately as he said, ¡°Su Wanwan, I know the reason you¡¯re drinking here alone. It¡¯s because you were dumped by Xing Yuyun, right? Why don¡¯t you be my woman then? I promise that the Su family will not try anything against you in the future anymore. That includes Su Yanyan-¡±


    It would have been fine if he had stopped earlier, but the words ¡®Su Yanyan¡¯ seemed to trigger Su Wanwan. She immediately picked up her beer bottle and swung it at his forehead.


    There was a loud crashing sound, and the bar dissolved into chaos.


    ***


    The loud sound of the telephone ringing echoed throughout the Huo family vi in the middle of the night.


    Not long after that, the doorbell rang and there were loud soundsing from outside.


    Huo Jingshen came down from the second floor, hearing an energetic roar along the way.


    To be honest, Old Master Huo did not sound like an old man who was suffering from cancer at all.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, Yuanshan. Look, you woke Jingshen up too!¡± When Old Mistress Huo saw Huo Jingshen walking downstairs, she hurriedly grabbed hold of the old man.


    Bang!


    Old Master Huo mmed the white jade teapot back on the table heavily as he took a deep breath.


    The servants and drivers were all standing off to the side of the living room, looking distressed. A broken teacupy on the floor, amidst tea leaves and water.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7: A Little Familiar


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Huo Jingshen nced at the floor briefly, then asked in a low voice, ¡°Grandpa, what happened?¡±


    ¡°What else could it be aside from your hopeless third brother?!¡±


    As soon as he mentioned his youngest grandson, Old Master Huo started breathing heavily, face red in anger. ¡°He fought with someone at a bar in the middle of the night and it escted until they ended up in the police station. The police just called to inform us. This is uneptable!¡±


    Huo Yuanshan had moved back into the Huo family vi after receiving his medical diagnosis three months ago.


    Thepound was very heavily guarded, and was the most suitable ce for the old man to rest and recuperate. The neighbors in this neighborhood were all very close and they knew everything about each other¡¯s families. There were no secrets among them at all.


    The old man was obviously furious because he didn¡¯t want this getting out to the public.


    ¡°Is Zexi okay?¡±


    ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t he be okay? He must have gotten into trouble and beat someone up again! That scoundrel is mixing around with the wrong crowd and causing trouble here and there just because his parents are not around! He is giving me problems day and night!¡± Old Master Huo became even more angrier and shouted at the driver, ¡°Liang Fei! Hurry up and drive me to the police station now!¡±


    Old Mistress Huo hurriedly stopped him. ¡°Are you crazy?! Do you realize who you are? How can you go to the police station?¡±


    Old Master Huo was a little taken aback. After regaining his senses, he quickly said, ¡°Jingshen, go to the police station with Uncle Liang and bring that brat back!¡±


    Huo Jingshen raised his brows slightly but could only agree to his grandfather¡¯s words. ¡°Okay.¡±


    ***


    At a police station.


    As soon as they entered the interrogation room, they heard Huo Zexi say pitifully, ¡°Uncle Liang, I am in so much pain. You have to gain justice for me.¡±


    Huo Zexi was seated there in a very sorry state.


    He had blood stains on his forehead and he was still bleeding from his nose. His handsome face was as swollen as a pig¡¯s head, and his clothes and pants were terribly crumpled.


    He lookedpletely different from the young man who had gone off to flirt with women earlier that day.


    There was a woman resting her head on the table next to him, her wavy ck hair hanging off the table and covering her entire face. However, the chiffon blouse she was wearing looked a little familiar¡­


    ¡°Elder brother, why are you here?¡± Huo Zexi was surprised. He really did not expect his brother to rush over sote at night.


    Ever since Huo Jingshen returned to the Huo family, he had always been indifferent towards everyone else. Since Huo Jingshen was seven years older than him and they had not seen each other in more than ten years, Huo Zexi always felt that there was a huge gap between the both of them. They were not close to each other at all.


    Huo Jingshen turned his menacing gaze to Huo Zexi. ¡°What happened?¡±


    Huo Zexi averted his gaze, hesitant to speak up.


    After all, it was very embarrassing for a man who was 1.8 metres tall to get beaten up by a young girl. How could he possibly tell people that?


    To top it all off, she had even smashed everything in the bar. After that, the owner of the bar demandedpensation, but Huo Zexi¡¯s grandfather had just cut off his credit card and his parents were not in the country. Hence, he did not have any cash on hand and refused to pay.


    As a result, they had ended up in the police station.


    ¡°Brother Huo.¡± One of Huo Zexi¡¯s friend hurriedly tried to defend his friend. ¡°Well, it¡¯s like this. We were just drinking in the bar with Zexi but this young woman, who clearly does not know how to distinguish between right and wrong, swung a beer bottle at his forehead. She even started punching and kicking him, and she is really very strong. Zexi might be weak but even both of us together couldn¡¯t stop her. Look, Zexi¡¯s face is already swollen after getting beaten up by her.¡±


    Huo Zexi red at his friend viciously.


    Damn it, his friend sure hada big mouth!


    Were they deliberately trying to badmouth him? Who said that he was weak? That young woman was obviously very strong!


    To think that he actually thought that she was very beautiful! Was she even a woman?


    ¡°Are you Young Master Huo¡¯s elder brother?¡± As soon as the owner of the bar heard the conversation, he hurried over and said, ¡°Let me tell you what happened: Your brother and this youngdy fought in my bar, and then they destroyed my car! I have already made the calctions and the damage amounts to four hundred and eighty six thousand yuan-¡±


    ¡°I did not smash anything!¡± Huo Zexi yelled indignantly.


    ¡°But Young Master Huo, the youngdy said that you wanted to buy her a drink, so all the things that she smashed should be charged to your ount¡­¡±


    ¡°My ass! Are you blind? Can¡¯t you see that she beat me up until I am in this state right now?¡±


    ¡°But she obviously knows you-¡±


    ¡°The entire Nanchang knows who I am! She is trying to trick you and you¡¯re actually believing her?¡±


    ¡°Young Master Huo, you cannot try to push the me to others¡­¡±


    ¡°What me is there?!¡±


    ¡°Young Master Huo¡­¡±


    While the both of them were engaged in a very fierce confrontation¡­


    ¡°Damn it! Why are you making so much noise?!¡±


    Su Wanwan had stood up, her face abnormally red. She was squinting at them, obviously drunk.


    Her left sleeve had slid down slightly, revealing a delicate corbone. Her ck hair hung over her shoulders messily, making her look defiant yet enchanting. She clearly did not realize how alluring she looked at the moment, as she yawned before demanding, ¡°Where is the washroom?¡±


    The police officer who was taking their statements was very young and clearly frightened by her. He stammered, ¡°G-Go out, then t-turn right after you step out the door.¡±


    Su Wanwan yawned again. She had no regard for anyone else in the room as she strode outside .


    ¡°Damn it, you¡¯d better stop right there!¡± Huo Zexi lunged forward but suddenly felt pain in his arm.

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8: Female Drunkard


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    It was Huo Jingshen.


    He remained where he was standing, simply reaching out and grabbing Huo Zexi¡¯s arm with one hand. Huo Zexi couldn¡¯t escape his grip.


    ¡°Brother, let go of me! That hurts, that hurts¡­¡± Huo Zexi grimaced in pain, his handsome face turning pale. He hunched over, begging and pleading.


    ¡°Uncle Liang, take the third young master to the car,¡± Huo Jingshen ordered.


    ¡°Okay, Young Master.¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s arm was finally freed and he began screaming, ¡°Uncle Liang, I don¡¯t want to go back! I want to look for that violent woman and sort things out with her! Uncle Liang! Uncle Liang¡­¡±


    Uncle Liang used to be a soldier. Although he was over fifties years old, he was stronger and more powerful than a weakling like Huo Zexi.He just ignored Huo Zexi¡¯s whining, easily dragging him to the car.


    The interrogation room was finally silent.


    Huo Jingshen was still standing there. A few of his buttons were unbuttoned on his white shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up. Despite his casual look, his strong aura was unmistakable, especially with his height of 1.9 meters.


    No one in the interrogation room dared to say anything else after witnessing the way he had restrained Huo Zexi earlier, including the owner of the bar who had been making noise earlier.


    Huo Jingshen looked around the room slowly, then murmured, ¡°Tell me what is owed.¡±


    ***


    Money could easily solve everything.


    Huo Jingshen was very generous and quicklypleted all the bail procedures. The owner of the bar also left in satisfaction.


    The staff in charge of the transcript nced at the recorded confession before reminding him, ¡°Mr. Huo, Miss Su¡¯s bailer has not arrived yet.¡±


    Huo Jingshen turned to him and asked casually, ¡°Herst name is Su?¡±


    They were in Nanchang and herst name was Su. Could there be such a coincidence?


    ¡°Yes, her name is Su Wanwan,¡± the police officer replied immediately, then continued, ¡°I looked through her records just now and it seems as though Miss Su left a lot of records in the bureau two years ago. It is simply filled to the brim! Her crimes ranged from fighting, alcoholism, illegal racing, and she was even suspected of concealing drugs! By the way, her father is Su Yuntang, the deputy director of the Radio and Television Administration. However, the bailer she mentioned just now is Mo Weiyi, the youngdy of the Mo family-¡±


    ¡°Sign it.¡± Huo Jingshen cut him off.


    It was past one in the morning now, so when the police officer saw how quick he was to settle things, he did not want to cause any moreplications either.


    The sooner he wrapped things up here, the sooner he could report thepletion of his task.


    ***


    As soon as he came out of the interrogation room, Huo Jingshen received an overseas phone call.


    Huo Jingshen saw the washrooms straight ahead, and walked over as he answered the phone call.


    ¡°Jingshen, I might have to trouble you to make a trip to the airport tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Ziyang, he secretly got on the ne just now. He should be arriving in Nanchang by noon tomorrow-¡±


    Bang!


    The door of the men¡¯s washroom swung open. Huo Jingshen frowned but before he could process what was happening, a woman barreled into him.


    Huo Jingshen was caughtpletely off guard, and stumbled back a few steps. The woman was about to fall down, but Huo Jingshen had already stretched out his hand to catch her.


    Su Wanwan immediately held onto him, grinning goofily.


    When Huo Jingshen saw her flushed face, he hurriedly let go of her hand. However, she was still holding on tightly to his sleeves.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± After Su Wanwan was done speaking, she let out a loud burp.


    She had drunk more than a dozen bottles of beer at the bar earlier. At that time, she had been drinking ferociously and did not feel drunk at all. However, she really did not expect that she would nearly fall asleep on the toilet seat just now.


    After finally getting up and walking out of the toilet, she felt like everything was spinning. Her eyelids felt so heavy that she could not even see clearly anymore.


    ¡°I am in the midst of something now. I¡¯m hanging up first.¡± Huo Jingshen immediately ended the call regardless of his friend¡¯s request as he tried to forcibly pull the woman off him.


    Su Wanwan refused to let go of him.


    She held firmly onto his sleeves as though they were her security nket, and breathed in his faintly minty breath that was strangelyforting. She even lowered her head and rubbed her face against his chest.


    This man who was highly obsessed with cleanliness frowned deeply, staring at her in disgust and impatience.


    This woman had soiled two of his white shirts in just one day.

    Chapter 9: Same Trick


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Huo Jingshen was furious that the female drunkard was still leaning against him, refusing to let go.


    Was this woman trying to use the same trick she had used at the airport?


    His dark eyes narrowed, and he grabbed her arms to detach her from his body, pulling her hands off him roughly.


    Su Wanwan stumbled back, falling onto her butt. The tiles felt cond refreshing under her, but she soon grumbled at the cold. She spread her arms out and wrapped them around the¡®nket¡¯in front of her, before leaning forward and resting her face directly on the ¡®pillow¡¯. She closed her eyes and sighed in satisfaction.


    Huo Jingshen stared down at her head in disbelief, his originally calm expression gradually bing strained.


    This woman!


    He raised his hand again to grab hold of the woman¡¯s hair to pull her off, but suddenly a voice sounded behind him: ¡°Young Master!¡±


    Huo Jingshen looked up quickly.


    ***


    Liang Fei never expected to run into such a scene.


    The eldest young master was standing in the men¡¯s washroom with a woman!


    To top it all of, the both of them had not even bothered to close the washroom door!


    He had always thought that the eldest young master of the Huo family had a very calm and refined personality, and he had never seen any women loitering or hanging around the eldest young master ever since he returned to China a few months ago. In fact, he had only brought a wolfhound back home with him some time back, and he had been ying with the dog every day.


    Turns out he wasn¡¯t the kind who avoided any immoral behavior, but rather, he was someone with strange interests!


    Liang Fei was shocked speechless. When Huo Jingshen turned around, he simply red at Liang Fei, who shuddered.


    ¡°Young Master, you can continue with what you are doing. I will go back to the car and wait for you.¡± After replying in a trembling voice, Liang Fei¡¯s face flushed red before he turned around and ran out of the washroom.


    ¡­


    ¡°Uncle Liang, where is Eldest Brother? Hasn¡¯t he gotten everything settled yet?¡±


    Liang Fei¡¯s expression was rather odd when the third young master suddenly questioned him as he got back into the car. ¡°The eldest young master is smoking. He should be back soon.¡±


    Huo Zexi looked at his swollen face in the rear-view mirror and startedining, ¡°Damn it! My face has been disfigured and he still has the mood to smoke? Does he have a conscience at all?¡±


    Liang Fei scoffed inwardly. Why wouldn¡¯t he be in the mood?


    He should be in a very good mood right now!


    ***


    In the men¡¯s washroom.


    After Liang Fei left, Huo Jingshen shoved Su Wanwan¡¯s head away hard.


    Su Wanwan cried out, then leaned forward and wrapped her hands tightly around his legs, muttering under her breath.


    Huo Jingshen had lived for thirty years, and this was the first time in his life that someone dared to stick to him so presumptuously!


    Furthermore, it was this crazy, drunk woman!


    Huo Jingshen knitted his brows together and tried even harder to push her head away.


    After getting her head pushed around, Su Wanwan felt rather dizzy. She finally gave up and decided to let go of the ¡®pillow¡¯.


    Her eyes were half closed as she turned around and leaned her head against the wall beside her. In a few seconds, she was asleep.


    ¡­


    After dusting off his clothes in disgust, Huo Jingshen walked over to the sink and turned on the tap.


    ¡°Adulterous couple¡­ You can go to hell!¡±


    Huo Jingshennced back.


    He saw Su Wanwan leaning against the wall. She was resting her head against the wall sideways, so the left side of her face waspletely exposed, and Huo Jingshen could see therge, red palm print on her left cheek.


    Huo Jingshen stared at her contemtively.


    Was she Su Wanwan, the illegitimate daughter of the Su family?


    He stood there, wiping his hands elegantly. The dim ceiling lights shone on him, revealing a calctive look in his dark eyes.


    ¡°Wanwan, where are you? Wanwan!¡± Footsteps sounded from outside the washroom.


    Huo Jingshen raised his brows slightly before he threw the tissue paper in the trash can, and walked out of the washroom.


    ***


    Mo Weiyi was trotting along the corridor in her eight-inch high heels, with her husband Xiao Yebai behind her.


    When she saw the man that was approaching her, Mo Weiyi was stunned. She stopped in her tracks, staring at the man with wide eyes.


    Wow, it was Huo Jingshen!


    Even if her beloved Xiaobai was just right beside her, as a woman, Mo Weiyi had to admit that Huo Jingshen was indeed a very attractive man. She had been living in Nanchang for twenty years but this was the first time that she had ever seen him.


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s appearance waspletely different from the cold and scary aura her husband radiated. Huo Jingshen was very elegant and suavepared to him. It might be because he had been living in Y Country for a long time. Coupled with his sharp features and sophisticated dressing, he really had the innate charm of a British aristocrat that people unconsciously admired.


    ¡°Pstt!¡±


    Mo Weiyi felt her palm sting and wrinkled her nose, asking pitifully, ¡°Xiaobai, why did you pinch me?¡±


    Xiao Yebai¡¯s eyes were dark as he asked, ¡°Is he very good-looking?¡±


    Mo Weiyi blinked, then hurriedly hugged the man¡¯s arm as she said coquettishly, ¡°Of course, he is not as good-looking as you! My husband is the best! You are the most handsome man in this world!¡±


    Xiao Yebai lowered his head to look at her, his lips curving into a fond smile.

    When Su Wanwan woke up again, it was already noon the next day. When she realized she was wearing an unfamiliar set of white, fluffy pyjamas, she started shrieking.


    Damn it, did someone take advantage of her after she got drunk?!


    The room door swung open and Mo Weiyi rushed in. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Su Wanwan closed her mouth. She nced at Mo Weiyi¡¯s pink apron and spat in disgust. ¡°How did I end up in your house?¡±


    She recalled going out for a drink at the bar after leaving homest night. After that, she met a yboy who could not stop nagging, so she beat him up and smashed a lot of things in the bar. After that¡­


    Su Wanwan rubbed her forehead with a groan. She was having a terrible headache, and could not remember anything that happened after that.


    ¡°How many times have I told you not to drink so much? Do you know how horrible a hangover is? Wait, I¡¯ll get you some tea,¡± Mo Weiyi muttered as she quickly brought some tea over to her.


    Su Wanwan squinted at Mo Weiyi¡¯s virtuousness and felt like something was wrong. ¡°Pervert Mo, when did you undergo such a huge change in your personality?¡±


    Who was Mo Weiyi?


    The Mo family monopolized almost all the catering and entertainment industries in Nanchang, and they also had several international hotel chains. She was the only daughter of the Mo Group who utilized both legal and illegal methods in business. Fair, rich, and beautiful ¨C she was an exceptionally favored and privileged youngdy!


    She came from a distinguished background and had delicate, eye-catching features. She grew up being called a ¡®princess¡¯.


    Su Wanwan had met her when they were both in kindergarten, and they eventually became best friends because of their simr temperaments.


    How could she possibly not understand what kind of character Mo Weiyi had, after knowing her for more than ten years? How could a pampered princess like her suddenly be willing to do the housework and cook after getting married?


    ¡°Xiaobai cooked it.¡± As soon as Mo Weiyi admitted that, Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Thank you then!¡±


    To think that CEO Xiao from the Mo Group would actually be making tea for an insignificant person like her to sober up.


    ¡­


    After lunch, Su Wanwan said, ¡°I am going to see Grandpater in the afternoon.¡±


    ¡°Okay! I will apany you,¡± Mo Weiyi said brightly, then recalled something. ¡°By the way, is your cell phone out of battery? I couldn¡¯t get through to you at allst night.¡±


    ¡°I lost it.¡±


    She realized that her phone was missing when she was at the bar. She didn¡¯t even know when she had lost it. Perhaps someone had stolen her cell phone.


    ¡°Then why were you drinking with Huo Zexi?¡± Mo Weiyi asked casually.


    ¡°Huo Zexi?¡± Su Wanwan had no recollection of the name at all. ¡°Who is he?¡±


    ¡°The third young master of the Huo family! Huo Zexi is famous as a good-for-nothing from a wealthy family, and he is well-known for being a yboy. The police officer at the police station said that you cracked his head open and he was almost disfigured. As a result, Huo Jingshen did not ask to settle the bill with you, and evenpensated the owner of the bar for the losses that he suffered because of the damage you caused.¡±


    ¡°Huo Jingshen?¡± Su Wanwan blinked, a nk expression on her face. ¡°Who is he?¡±


    Mo Weiyi was speechless.


    A woman who drank until she cked out was really terrible!


    ***


    Su Xueqin was staying at Nangong Hospital, which was the most luxurious private hospital in Nanchang.


    With the backing of the Nangong family who had an established medical background, the patients at the hospital were all wealthy and respectable people. The management of the hospital was also very strict. Generally, no outsiders would be allowed to enter if they did not have the exclusive VIP card that had been given to family members.


    Fortunately, the beautiful Mo Weiyi had a pretty face and solid reputation in Nanchang.


    The receptionist respectfully said, ¡°Miss Mo, Mr. Su¡¯s ward number is 2019. Please take the elevator up to the twentieth floor and make a left turn.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Mo Weiyi replied as she snapped her fingers. Her driver and bodyguard immediately entered the elevator with manyrge and small gift boxes.


    She really behaved like a princess!


    When the elevator door opened at the twentieth floor, they met two familiar faces and acquaintances at the corridor.


    Su Wanwan immediately narrowed her eyes.


    Su Yanyan sneered, ¡°Oh! The eldest youngdy of the Su family is finally willing toe to the hospital to see Grandpa now?¡±


    She was wearing an elegant floral dress and high heels. Coupled with her straight bangs, she actually worked the ¡®good girl¡¯ image very well.


    Jiang Yi smiled as she said gently, ¡°Wanwan, so it turns out that you went to look for Miss Most night. Why didn¡¯t you call to inform us then? Your father was worrying about you the whole night.¡±

    ¡°Mrs. Su, what you said makes no sense at all,¡± Mo Weiyi scoffed, furrowing her brows angrily. ¡°Wanwan was so angry that she ran away from homest night. She stayed at my housest night and did not go home at all. Why didn¡¯t you at least call me to ask about Wanwan?¡±


    Jiang Yi was still smiling as she replied slowly, ¡°How could a father and daughter possibly have an overnight feud? Besides, all of us know that Wanwan has Miss Mo as her good friend in Nanchang. Yuntang also told me to bring Yanyan here to visit Dad today, because Wanwan would certainlye here to see her grandfather today too. I feel relieved now that I see Wanwan safe and sound.¡±


    Jiang Yi¡¯s words skilfully deflected attention away from the core problem, and easily attributed the reason why Su Wanwan left home to an argument between father and daughter instead. She did not only clear herself from any me, but also praised Mo Weiyi without mentioning Xing Yuyun at all.


    She was truly skilled!


    Mo Weiyi was at a loss for words, her cheeks puffed up in anger.


    ¡°Wanwan, we can go home together after visiting your grandfather so that you can stay at your own house. It is not good for you to constantly be troubling Miss Mo. I have already asked Aunty Yang to prepare lunch, she has cooked all your favorite dishes,¡± Jiang Yi continued speaking in a motherly tone.


    ¡°No need.¡± Su Wanwan was direct. ¡°You can ask your son-inw who has already married into your family and is living under your roof to eat those dishes instead.¡±


    Su Yanyan was infuriated when she heard this. ¡°Su Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking about? When did Brother Yun be a son-inw who married into our family and is living under our roof?¡±


    ¡°Oh! Didn¡¯t he marry into the family?¡± Su Wanwan tilted her head slightly as she continued speaking in an innocent tone, ¡°The both of you are not married yet but he is already running to our house every day. He is even sleeping on your bed already. It made me wonder if I was actually at the Xing family¡¯s house yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Su Wanwan, you-¡±


    ¡°Yanyan.¡± Jiang Yi grabbed her daughter and stopped her immediately.


    This was because the door of the ward was pushed open and someone came out of the ward at that moment.


    Su Wanwan did not bother about Su Yanyan anymore and hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Uncle Zhou!¡±


    ¡°Youngdy?!¡± Zhou Teng was surprised. ¡°When did you return to China?¡±


    ¡°Last night.¡± Su Wanwan did not want to say too much and asked, ¡°Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather¡¯s health?¡±


    ¡°Oh! The operation was a huge sess and the old master is recuperating very well. He is in a very good mood and high spirits today. If he finds out that you are back home to visit him, he will certainly be very happy. He might even fully recover and be discharged soon!¡±


    After he was done speaking, Zhou Teng smiled politely at Jiang Yi and said, ¡°The old master said that he is feeling a little unwell and does not want to see anyone today. He asks that you go back first. You cane and visit him again when you are free next time.¡±


    He had apletely different attitude when he spoke to Jiang Yi.


    Although Jiang Yi had very high emotional intelligence, she could not stop the expression on her face from turning ugly as soon as she heard those words.


    Su Yanyan stomped her feet angrily and said, ¡°Mom, why is Grandpa always like this? How many times has he refused to see us?! I think he is deliberately doing this. He is making things difficult for us on purpose!¡±


    Mo Weiyiughed loudly before sneering, ¡°Grandpa Su is only hospitalized because the both of you made him angry, so isn¡¯t it normal for him to refuse to see you? Don¡¯t the both of you feel embarrassed or ashamed toe and see Grandpa Su after doing something so wicked? You are even ming him for refusing to see the both of you; the both of you are really thick-skinned!¡±


    ¡°What wicked thing did I do? Why don¡¯t you tell me what wicked thing I did then?¡±


    ¡°Never mind. Forget it.¡± Jiang Yi abruptly grabbed her daughter and said gently, ¡°Since Dad is not willing to meet us today, then Yanyan and I will go home first.¡±


    After she was done speaking, Jiang Yi dragged Su Yanyan with her and they left immediately.


    ***


    After entering the elevator, Jiang Yi began to reprimand her daughter, ¡°Yanyan, you are the youngdy of the Su family. You should pay attention to your own status and identity when you are in front of outsiders. You should be careful about what you say and do, and not be so reckless and impulsive.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t she just Mo Weiyi? What is so great about her? Mom, why are you so afraid of her?¡± Su Yanyan asked doubtfully.


    That Su Wanwan was arrogant because she had been relying on Su Xueqin¡¯s favor and affection towards her all these years. She was obviously just an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother, but she had an even more glorious and morous lifepared to her, the genuine youngdy of the Su family.


    And that Mo Weiyi! Whenever there was any party or gathering among their circle, Mo Weiyi would always ignore her. Mo Weiyi acted like a pampered princess andpletely disregarded Su Yanyan no matter how much she tried to please or tter her.


    Su Yanyan felt that Su Wanwan was the one who was behind all this. She could only me herself for not guarding herself against that illegitimate child earlier¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of whether I am afraid of her or not,¡± Jiang Yi replied wearily.


    No matter what it was, the blood flowing through Su Wanwan¡¯s veins was the blood of the Su family. Even if she was dissatisfied or unhappy about it, it was still an indisputable fact. Jiang Yi had even sent someone to the hospital to get a paternity test done for Su Wanwan in the past.


    She really did not understand why Su Xueqin would be so protective of an illegitimate child of a minx. He even repeatedly ordered her to keep everything that happened that year a secret.


    ¡°Does she really think that she is that great because she is close to the youngdy of the Mo family? Hasn¡¯t she also been dumped by Brother Yun anyway? She is nothing but someone who has been dumped and cast aside! What is she so arrogant for?¡± Su Yanyan¡¯s mood improved when she mentioned Xing Yuyun. ¡°Mom, since Grandpa refuses to see us, why don¡¯t we go to the bridal shop again? I want to pick another two more wedding dresses.¡±


    Even if Xing Yuyun was angryst night, it wouldn¡¯t change anything. During the engagement banquet, she would let everyone in Nanchang know that she, Su Yanyan, was the only genuine youngdy of the Su family!


    And Xing Yuyun was her man!


    She was going to look extremely beautiful and mourous during her engagement banquet. She wanted to make Su Wanwan feel ashamed and inferiorpared to her so that she would willingly retreat!

    Chapter 12: You Scoundrel

    Hospital ward.


    ¡°Old Master, look who¡¯s here!¡±


    The old man who was leaning against the bed head as he read the newspaper looked up. He held up his reading sses as he identified the person before him.


    Su Wanwan said shakily, ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s me.¡±


    She had not seen him in two years but it felt as though Su Xueqin had aged several years within this short period of time. Hisplexion was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and the hospital gown made him look weak and haggard.


    ¡°¡­ Wanwan?¡± Su Xueqin was shocked. ¡°Are you really Wanwan?¡±


    Two years ago, Su Wanwan had been eighteen and in the rebellious phase of her teenage years.


    Back then, she had short hair which was dyed gray, and would put on heavy makeup and dress in fancy outfits or unintelligible cosy costumes. All that wascking was a body full of piercings and tattoos.


    However, in order to not make her grandfather worry today, Su Wanwan had taken the effort to dress up. She had put on some light makeup to conceal the red palm print on her face, and even borrowed one of Mo Weiyi¡¯s demure dresses to wear.


    She was already very beautiful to begin with, with a small face with delicate features. The pink dress entuated her fair skin and flushed cheeks, and she looked extremely beautiful.


    The current Su Wanwan was stunning, whether it was her facial features, figure, style, or dressing. Her appearance today waspletely different from two years ago, so it was no wonder that Su Xueqin could not recognize her at first.


    ¡°Old Master.¡± Zhou Teng smiled as he said, ¡°The eldest youngdy came here specially to visit you.¡±


    Mo Weiyi chimed in sweetly, ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa Su. Wanwan also bought all of these health products and supplements for you today.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s more than enough that you came back, why do you have to buy so many things?¡± Su Xueqin wasining but he had a smile on his face.


    Su Wanwan could not hold back and hurriedly asked, ¡°Grandpa, were you hospitalized because that mother and daughter pair made you angry?¡±


    Whack!


    The teacup on the bedside table was swept to the ground and it broke into pieces instantly.


    ¡°I will not let that scumbag from the Xing family off this time!¡± Su Xueqin snarled.


    Xing Yuyun was supposed to be the grandson-inw that he had carefully selected from the whole of Nanchang. Two years ago, Xing Yuyun had already formed a marriage contract with Su Wanwan under the arrangement of the two families.


    Who would have expected that scumbag to secretly get involved with his sister-inw instead? The paparazzi even took some scandalous and unspeakable photos of the both of them!


    If Su Xueqin did not use his connections to block the news, then there might have been an even bigger scandal!


    Su Wanwan was a little shocked and frightened, so she went tofort him. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t be angry. To be honest, I do not like Xing Yuyun at all.¡±


    Su Xueqin frowned but he did not say anything at all. He clearly did not believe her.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t because you liked him, I would not have agreed to get engaged to him at all,¡± Su Wanwan admitted.


    Su Xueqin was taken aback.


    ¡°I am telling you the truth,¡± Su Wanwan said quickly, ¡°Back then, you seemed to like him a lot, so I could not bear to disappoint you.¡±


    Su Xueqin looked at his granddaughter for a long time before he sighed quietly. ¡°He seemed like a capable and fine-looking young man, and the second elder of the Xing family and I have also been acquaintances for so many years, so that was why we thought of bringing the both of you together. Who would have guessed¡­ Wanwan, you can rest assured that Grandpa will definitely find you a man who is better than Xing Yuyun!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to, Grandpa,¡± Su Wanwan refused his offer gently, ¡°I am only twenty years old. I don¡¯t want to get married so early.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with getting married early? If you get married early to a good man, then Grandpa can finally rx.¡± Su Xueqin pointed at the beautiful Mo Weiyi and said, ¡°Just look at Miss Mo ¨C she got married when she was only eighteen, and the young couple is living a good life together now. The old master of the Mo family cannot even be bothered to care about his family anymore, and is leading a peaceful life every day. It won¡¯t be long before he can hold his great grandson.¡±


    Mo Weiyi pursed her lips.


    Great grandson? Well¡­


    ¡°Anyway, I just don¡¯t want to get married.¡± After Su Wanwan dered that, she hurriedly changed the subject, ¡°Grandpa, please take good care of your health and body first. From now on, I wille visit you every day. I will just stay in Nanchang in the future, I do not want to leave anymore.¡±


    If she returned to Los Angeles for another two years, Su Wanwan was afraid that she would not have a foothold in the Su family anymore.


    Su Xueqin had originally been reluctant to let his granddaughter study in such a far ce, so he immediately agreed. ¡°Okay then, you don¡¯t have to leave anymore. You can stay by your grandfather¡¯s side. I will certainly find a better man for you.¡±


    Su Wanwan blinked.


    How did they end up talking about that again?


    ***


    Su family vi, seven o¡¯ clock in the evening.


    The table in the dining room on the first floor was covered with a white tablecloth and filled with a dazzling array of delicacies. The ¡®entire family¡¯ was enjoying dinner together.


    When they saw Su Wanwaning in, the happy chattering andughter stopped immediately. Everyone at the dining table had different expressions on their faces. Some of them looked surprised, while some looked angry. Xing Yuyun frowned.


    Su Wanwan had appeared at the Su family vi, then disappeared the whole day after that and could not be contacted through her cell phone at all.


    Although Xing Yuyun looked very calm, he could not help but feel a little frustrated because of his guilty conscience.


    However, he would not have expected that when they met again, Su Wanwan would already bepletely free of the anger that she feltst night. In fact, there were no emotions on her face and she lookedpletely indifferent.


    Logically speaking, any woman who got hurt because of love should be feeling very depressed or angry, just like how Su Wanwan wasst night.


    The Su Wanwan before him now was wearing a long pink gauze dress, and had the most popr and trendy makeup on her face. She had exquisite features, a graceful figure, and a pleasant smile on her face.


    Her long, perfectly curled hair was casually draped over her shoulders in an elegant and feminine style.


    She was simply glowing!


    ¡°Eldest youngdy, I will get the tableware for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Aunty Yang.¡± Su Wanwan smiled slightly before she sat down at an empty seat at the table.


    She picked up a wet tissue and wiped her hands casually. After that, she opened her mouth and said, ¡°I already used up all of my living expenses.¡±


    Su Yuntang mmed his chopsticks down on the table as he sneered, ¡°The reason you came back home is just to ask me for money?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Su Wanwan replied as though it went without saying. Su Yuntang had a very tense expression on his face.


    That was a sign that he was about to get angry and lose his temper.


    ¡°Dad!¡± Su Yanyan hurriedly chimed in to add fuel to the fire. ¡°Just look at her attitude!¡±


    Jiang Yi nced at her daughter warningly then said softly, ¡°Wanwan, you have already finished using up all of your living expenses? How much more do you need? Just tell me, and I will transfer the money to you.¡±


    Su Wanwan nced at her before said, ¡°One hundred and seventy thousand yuan.¡±


    Jiang Yi was taken aback.


    One hundred and seventy thousand yuan?


    That much money?!


    ¡°What do you need so much money for?¡± Su Yuntang shouted.


    Su Wanwan took a sip of the red wine in front of her before she narrowed her beautiful eyes and said casually, ¡°I want to move out of this house. I need money to rent a house, buy some furniture, and get everything else done. I don¡¯t want to continue living here in the future, or else I will be forced to see my sister and former fianc¨¦e together at home every day. After all, this house is already old and the soundproofing is not very good either. My room is just next to her room so I will be able to hear everything. Furthermore, she is so good at yelling¡­¡±


    Su Yanyan was so angry that she choked on her soup.


    Jiang Yi had an embarrassed look on her face.


    Su Yuntang mmed his hands on the table as he hollered, ¡°You scoundrel!¡±

    ¡°I can choose not to move out of this house too,¡± Su Wanwan said slowly, ¡°After all, Grandpa will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and he will being home to rest and recuperate. There will be a lot of guestsing over to visit him in the next few days. There will be people who areing in and out of this house, so I will have to trouble some people to rein it in a little over the next few days. If you really cannot control your urges, the both of you can just get a room at a hotel. After all, you are already over seventeen now and considered an adult. You don¡¯t have to continue being in a secret rtionship, and don¡¯t need to worry about getting caught by reporters anymore.¡±


    There was some obvious insinuation in Su Wanwan¡¯s remarks, and everyone¡¯s expressions changed.


    Su Yanyan was filled with rage, but since Xing Yuyun was sitting next to her, she could not retaliate or act aggressively. The only thing she could do was pout and cry out, ¡°Dad, look at her! She¡¯s simply too much!¡±


    Su Yuntang stared angrily at Su Wanwan. He felt as though his blood pressure had risen to its highest point.


    First, she wanted one hundred and seventy thousand yuan. Then, she mentioned being seventeen years old.


    She said that she had wanted to move out of the house, but after that, she immediately brough Su Xueqin up to pressure him!


    What kind of evil had hemitted in his past life that such a vile offspring would exist to torture him?


    ¡°Wanwan really likes to make jokes.¡± Jiang Yi tried to lighten the atmosphere and calm everyone down. ¡°Since Dad will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, you should tidy up his room, Aunty Yang.¡±


    ¡°Aunty Yang, I will have to trouble you to help me clean up my room too.¡± Su Wanwan took advantage of this opportunity to say, ¡°Please help me move my study table out to the balcony because I will be reporting to Nanchang University in September.¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Nanchang University? What do you mean by that?¡± Su Yanyan demanded.


    ¡°Oh, right! I forgot to tell all of you.¡± Su Wanwan smiled before she said, ¡°I am not returning to Los Angeles anymore. Grandpa has already spoken to Grandpa Chu. After the school term begins, I will be going to Nanchang University to do my third year.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Su Yanyan stood up in shock, sending her chair back with an unpleasant screeching noise.


    Nanchang University was the prestige of Nanchang. It was the top university with the greatest talents in the country, and the best university in the eyes of many students.


    Su Yanyan had to hire many gold medal teachers to give her extra sses and help so that she could pass the entry requirement test with the lowest score, but now, Su Wanwan was actually transferring over to Nanchang University just like that?


    What was even more ironic was the fact that Su Wanwan would be starting sses in her third year. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that Su Wanwan was going to be her senior then?


    It had been difficult to convince Su Yuntang to transfer Su Wanwan to a boarding school back then, but now she would actually have to attend the same university as her and see her regrly!


    How could she possibly tolerate this?!


    Jiang Yi was also shocked. She knew that Su Xueqin loved Su Wanwan dearly, but she never expected him to do this.


    Su Xueqin who had always been very upright had actually approached the Chu family just to get this done for Su Wanwan?


    ***


    The dinner ended with a bad atmosphere.


    Su Yanyan felt so wronged that she said she had no appetite anymore before crying and running upstairs.


    Jiang Yi wanted Xing Yuyun to go upstairs to apany her, but Xing Yuyun stood up unexpectedly.


    ¡°Wanwan, follow me to the balcony. I have something to say to you.¡±


    The expression on Jiang Yi¡¯s face changed slightly when she heard that.


    Su Wanwan raised her brows slightly before saying, ¡°Brother-inw, what do you have to say to me that you can¡¯t say here?¡±


    ¡°Yuyun,¡± Su Yuntang said warningly.


    Xing Yuyun suppressed his unhappiness as he exined, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. I just want to tell Wanwan about everything between Yanyan and I clearly-¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to know anything about your messy rtionship. Besides, this is the Su family vi and Su Yanyan is crying upstairs. At a time like this, do you think that it is appropriate for her sister and brother-inw to be going to the balcony to spend time alone?¡± As Su Wanwan spoke, she put down her utensils and slowly poured some red wine into her wine ss. She had a nk look on her face as she asked, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you agree with me?¡±


    After ring at Su Wanwan, Su Yuntang calmed down a little as he said, ¡°Yuyun, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. I have already made things clear with your grandfather, and your engagement to Su Yanyan will proceed as scheduled on the 20th of next month.¡±


    Xing Yuyun stood there, feeling a little frustrated. After a long time, he finally replied, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chapter 14: CEO Huo Appears


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    In the bedroom on the second floor of a vi at Lishui Bay,te at night.


    A cell phone ringtone red in the quiet room. Mo Weiyi nced at her cell phone screen before quickly rejecting the call.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering the phone?¡± A man¡¯s low voice rumbled, carrying a hint of annoyance.


    ¡°It¡¯s someone selling insurance-¡± Before she could finish her sentence, her cell phone started ringing again.


    Mo Weiyi cursed and muttered ¡°shameless¡± before rejecting the call again.


    When the cell phone rang unrelentingly for the third time, her husband snatched the cell phone from Mo Weiyi. As soon as he saw the words ¡®Xing Yuyun¡¯ on the screen, Xiao Yebai¡¯s expression darkened. He tossed the cell phone back at Mo Weiyi before saying, ¡°You can settle him in one minute.¡±


    Mo Weiyi had no choice but to answer the call. She was very rude as she sneered, ¡°Hello, scumbag. Why are you calling me sote at night?¡±


    Xing Yuyun was not angry and just said, ¡°Hello, Miss Mo, I am Xing Yuyun. I would like to ask you something.¡±


    ¡°If you want to ask me anything about Wanwan, then you don¡¯t have to worry because I will not tell you anything-¡±


    ¡°Miss Mo,¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted her, then said, ¡°I just want to know when Wanwan got to know my cousin brother.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± Mo Weiyi was confused for a second.


    ¡°Huo Jingshen.¡±


    Huo Jingshen?


    Mo Weiyi simply replied ¡°oh¡± as she thought about it.


    ¡°Yanyan said that Wanwan was with youst night, Miss Mo, but as far as I know, there should be someone else who was with Wanwanst night. I know that you are best friends with Wanwan so you should know about this. I don¡¯t have any other intentions, I just want to know what the rtionship between Wanwan and Huo Jingshen is.¡±


    After Xing Yuyun left the Su family just now, he could not help but think about the sudden change in Su Wanwan¡¯s attitude. He could not understand how she could possibly change so drastically. The only possibility was¡­


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Why? Are you having regrets because someone else is pursuing Wanwan now?¡±


    Xing Yuyun was silent on the other end of the line. Although he did not want to admit it, Xing Yuyun felt very uneasy when he thought about how Su Wanwan had gotten into a rtionship with another man so quickly.


    What¡¯s more, that man was Huo Jingshen¡­


    Before he could even say anything, Mo Weiyi started losing her temper as she snarled, ¡°Let me tell you something, you scumbag! Ever since you cheated on Wanwan and got involved with Su Yanyan, Wanwan has nothing to do with you anymore!


    You have no right to poke your nose into Wanwan¡¯s business anymore! You are not qualified to do so! In fact, I am still very confused about the whole situation. Xing Yuyun, who gave you the courage and audacity to y with Wanwan¡¯s feelings?


    Where did your current statuse from? Who is the person backing the Xing family? Who would not know or understand this clearly in Nanchang? Do you really think that you are the emperor¡¯s rtive? My ass! What would the Xing family be without the Huo family?


    And you are only the grandson of the Huo family because of a female descendant. How can you possibly bepared to Huo Jingshen? Huo Jingshen is the eldest grandson of the Huo family. Grandpa Huo values him very much, and I heard that he¡¯s been asked to take over the entire Huo Yuan Group¡¯s estate. The entire Huo Yuan Group will also fall into Huo Jingshen¡¯s hands sooner orter.


    So kindly take a good look in the mirror and understand your value. How can you possibly bepared to someone like Huo Jingshen? If you dare continue harassing Wanwan, you¡¯d better watch out because I might expose those indecent photos of you and Li Na! When that happens, the Su family will finally see you for who you really are! You might not even be able to get engaged to Su Yanyan then!¡±


    After she was done speaking, Mo Weiyi ended the call before Xing Yuyun could respond.


    She finally got the opportunity to yell at that scumbag and avenge Su Wanwan! Ahh, that felt really good!


    ***


    Su Wanwan came to the hospital early the next morning.


    After she finished having breakfast with Su Xueqin, Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan arrived at the hospital.


    Su Yanyan could not help but felt a little annoyed because Su Wanwan was one step ahead of them again. She hurried over to her grandfather and greeted him immediately.


    However, Su Xueqin continued reading his newspaper without even lifting his head to look at her. It seemed as though he could not hear her at all.


    ¡°Grandpa, Dad has an important meeting in the morning today so he could note here. He specifically asked Mom and I to pick you up from the hospital¡­¡±


    Su Xueqin still refused to look up.


    Su Yanyan felt very embarrassed and was about to start talking again, when her mother interrupted her.


    ¡°Yanyan.¡± Jiang Yi grabbed her daughter and said, ¡°Go help your grandfather tidy up everything on the sofa.¡±


    ¡°But, Mom¡­¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and go!¡± Jiang Yi gestured at Su Yanyan.


    Su Yanyan could only start cleaning up her grandfather¡¯s belongings obediently.


    Su Wanwan could not be bothered to watch the fake courtesy that mother and daughter were disying, so she stood up and said, ¡°Grandpa, I will go and settle the discharge procedures for you first.¡±


    Old Master Su immediately raised his head and asked, ¡°What is the hurry? They can do it. You can just apany me here!¡±


    Jiang Yi¡¯s eyes widened and the expression on Su Yanyan¡¯s face turned even uglier.


    Old Master Su¡¯s bias and inconsistent attitude was simply too obvious.


    Su Wanwan smiled as she said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I was just about to step out and get some fresh air anyway. You can ask them to help you pack up your belongings first.¡±


    Old Master Su could see that his granddaughter was already feeling a little impatient, so he nodded and said, ¡°Okay, then you should go.¡±


    ***


    When Su Wanwan arrived at the office, she realized that there was no one there.


    ¡°Miss Su, please wait for a moment. I will go and urge the deputy dean toe over as soon as possible.¡± The nurse left after speaking.


    Su Wanwan stood there and looked around the office.


    It was decorated in a very modern style, with its own lounge and balcony. There was also a lounge chair on the balcony, and many green nts next to it¡­


    The deputy dean really knew how to enjoy life. However, why was she getting the faint scent of smoke?


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    There was a knock on the door. Su Wanwan turned around and surprisingly, it was Xing Yuyun.


    ¡°Wanwan.¡± Xing Yuyun held back his anger as he said, ¡°I have something to ask you.¡±


    ¡°Ask me?¡± Su Wanwan replied sarcastically, ¡°Your fianc¨¦e and mother-inw are both downstairs. Are you looking for the wrong person, Brother-inw?¡±


    Su Wanwan intentionally emphasized that word.


    ¡°Su Wanwan.¡± Xing Yuyun¡¯s tone became a little sterner. ¡°I want to ask you whether you spent the night with Huo Jingshen on the night you returned to China.¡±


    ¡°Damn it, are you seriously that stupid?!¡± She couldn¡¯t stop herself from swearing.


    Who was Huo Jingshen? She had absolutely no idea what he was talking about!


    He was clinging onto her so obstinately and was now asking her such a baffling question!


    ¡°I called your cell phone, but why did Huo Jingshen answer it? Why was your cell phone with him?¡± Xing Yuyun continued questioning her.


    Su Wanwan simply stared at him as though he was an idiot. ¡°So what?¡±


    Xing Yuyun instantly started to lose his temper when he saw Su Wanwan¡¯s indifference.


    Mo Weiyi¡¯s remarks were already a huge blow to his self-esteem, and Su Wanwan¡¯s attitude was making things worse.


    Xing Yuyun was so angry that he blurted out, ¡°I just want to remind you that Huo Jingshen is not a good person. He was living abroad for twenty years, and his parents passed away when he was young so he is a very unsociable and entric person. He suddenly returned to China and everyone in the Huo family feels that he has a very weird personality and is difficult to get along with. That old man who has been living abroad for such a long time is very open-minded, so he is the best at fooling girls and getting into rtionships to y around with women¡¯s feelings. I heard that he had gotten involved with many different women in Y Country and leads a very messy personal life. You are still young and inexperienced, so I don¡¯t think that he is suitable for you at all. He is too old-¡±


    ¡°So it seems that I, Huo Jingshen, am the kind of old man who specializes in fooling around and ying with women¡¯s feelings,¡± a baritone voice drawled suddenly, shocking both Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan.


    When they turned around, they saw a figure standing outside on the balcony.


    Huo Jingshen was wearing a white shirt and ck suit pants, and his sleeves were rolled up. He was holding a half-burnt cigarette between his slender fingers.


    Huo Jingshen was actually dressed very casually, but the coldness in his eyes made people feel apprehensive.

    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    There was deadly silence at this time.


    There was a kind of¡­


    Of unspeakable embarrassment and awkwardness.


    Xing Yuyun never would have expected Huo Jingshen to suddenly appear here. Moreover, he never would have expected him to hear everything that he said just now.


    He was gossiping about others¡¯ right and wrong behind their back¡­


    Even if whatever he said was true, it seemed as though his character and personality were not any better.


    Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes before he put out his cigarette on the ashtray on the table.


    Amidst the thin smoke, his voice was low but indifferent as he said, ¡°It seems as though the Xing family has quite an issue with me.¡±


    Xing Yuyun¡¯s face started turning red then pale in an instant.


    For a moment, he wanted to try and exin himself. However, under the man¡¯s seemingly calm but inexplicable powerful aura, he could not exin himself in any way at all.


    During this paradoxical embarrassment and awkwardness¡­


    ¡°Jingshen.¡±


    The coquettish and charming voice of a woman suddenly sounded.


    Xing Yuyun¡¯s face changed in an instant.


    He watched as Su Wanwan stared at him before she walked over to stand beside Huo Jingshen.


    Because of their difference in height, Su Wanwan was a full head shorterpared to the man. However, when the both of them stood together, the man was tall and masculine and the woman was very charming and beautiful. So, it seemed as though the both of them were in love and very affectionate together.


    The both of them had an unspeakable sense of coordination, as though they were a couple who was already deeply in love with one another.


    ¡°You are so annoying! Didn¡¯t I ask you to hide instead ofing out?¡± Su Wanwan put on an act. After she was done speaking, she even pouted.


    When she saw that he was not saying anything, she simply stretched out her hands as she embraced the man¡¯s arm directly. ¡°You! Were you secretly smoking behind my back again?¡±


    Huo Jingshen looked at her. His eyes were very dark and deep but he did not show much response at all.


    Su Wanwan gritted her teeth before she decided to just slide her hand downwards.


    After that, she carefully separated his five fingers as she slipped her fingers through his fingers.


    His palm was really big and it felt as though he could just wrap her whole fist in it.


    After that, she finally sped hands with him.


    Su Wanwan could feel her heartbeat increasing. The strange touch on the palm of her hands also made her feel extremely nervous.


    Because she was facing the light, she could not tell or determine the specific expression that was on the man¡¯s face from her perspective, but one thing that she was certain of, was that he was not pushing her away.


    This gave Su Wanwan even more confidence.


    In fact, Su Wanwan wanted to simply use Huo Jingshen to stimte and provoke Xing Yuyun. She wanted to let him know that she was not someone who was not unfavored by other men. She wanted Xing Yuyun to witness it for himself so that he could give up on herpletely.


    Each of them already had their own respective girlfriend and boyfriend. So, they should just live their own lives instead of interfering in each other¡¯s lives in future.


    Who would have known that there would suddenly be a strong and sudden force upon her?


    Before Su Wanwan could even react, the man¡¯s face was already directly in front of her¡­


    F*ck!


    Su Wanwan was so shocked that her eyes widened in surprise.


    The hot summer wind blew in from outside the balcony and it felt as though there was love in the air at this time.


    ***


    Quite some time passed by.


    ¡°Have you seen enough?¡±


    As soon as Huo Jingshen said those words, Xing Yuyun¡¯s pupils shrank immediately. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were filled with maliciousness.


    Finally, he turned around before he closed the door fiercely behind him.


    m!


    The loud sound also made Su Wanwan suddenlye back to her senses.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    Su Wanwan pushed the man away vigorously. Ptui, ptui, ptui¡­ Su Wanwan spat dozens of times into the air.


    Stinky!


    The foul stench of a man smoking!


    Su Wanwan felt very ashamed and annoyed at this time and she lost her temper at the man angrily as she said, ¡°You gangster! Who allowed you to¡­¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have any experience?¡± Huo Jingshen asked as he raised his brows with a decisive tone.


    During their previous two encounters, he initially thought that she was an experienced person. However, he really did not expect¡­this young woman to be so young and inexperienced.


    ¡°Why do you care if I am experienced or not?!¡± Su Wanwan did not deny it but she continued saying angrily, ¡°I want you to repay me!¡±


    She spoke incoherently, but who would have expected Huo Jingshen¡­


    ¡°Okay, sure.¡± He walked over to her as he said, ¡°I will repay you now.¡±


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Su Wanwan was so shocked that she started screaming uncontrobly.


    This bastard! She initially thought that he was a decent man when she met him in the car at the airport the other day. Unexpectedly¡­


    At this time, the room door was suddenly pushed open again.


    ¡°Big bro!¡±

 Chapter 16

    Chapter 16: Stop Messing Around


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Nangong Ci was standing by the door, holding a medical book in his hand.


    Huo Jingshen nced at him icily, and Nangong Ci quickly turned around and said, ¡°Please continue whatever you were doing, I did not see anything at all. Just pretend I was never here.¡±


    ¡°Deputy dean!¡± The nurse from earlier appeared and approached Nangong Ci eagerly. ¡°Where have you been? I¡¯ve been looking for you for ages! Miss Su is waiting for your signature.¡±


    She was obviously infatuated with the deputy dean, judging by her coquettish and pretentious tone.


    Nangong Ci coughed awkwardly then asked, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? I¡¯m here now, right?¡±


    He had gone downstairs briefly to check in on a ward and his elder brother had already brought a young woman into his office so they could be intimate here. He was really making use of every opportunity he had!


    He imed he had no interest in women, and that he wanted to keep his hands clean and mind his own business. Pfft! It was all nonsense!


    An old man could unexpectedly be daring and flirtatious even though he seemed shy and quiet!


    After dismissing the nurse who obviously admired him, Nangong Ci stared at Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, a cheeky smile blooming on his face. Heughed and said teasingly, ¡°Big bro, you¡¯re pretty fast. It only took you two days to get the girl, and the both of you are already so intimate with each other. Ah, I guess I have to knock on my own office door before Ie in after this. Hahaha!¡±


    Su Wanwan red viciously at Huo Jingshen, thensuppressed her embarrassment as she turned to Nangong Ci and asked, ¡°Are you my grandfather¡¯s attending doctor?¡±


    She had seen the medical report before this and she saw that the chief surgeon who had performed the surgery for Su Xueqin was the deputy dean here. He was a gold medal doctor who had conducted many sessful operations and had won numerous international awards.


    Su Wanwan initially thought the doctor was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, but he was actually this carefree and frivolous young man?


    Nangong Ci was also surprised as he asked, ¡°Are you Grandpa Su¡¯s granddaughter?¡±


    Did the Su family have another daughter besides Su Yanyan?


    ¡°My grandfather is supposed to get discharged today, so I might have to trouble you to help settle it.¡±


    ¡°This is perfect!¡± Nangong Ci pped his hands excitedly and said, ¡°Since you are Grandpa Su¡¯s granddaughter and since Grandpa Su likes me so much, I can help say some nice things about my brother in front of Grandpa Su then!¡±


    ¡°Can you stop messing around?!¡± Su Wanwan mmed her hands on his table and said impatiently, ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry, so pleaseplete the discharge procedures for me quickly!¡±


    Nangong Ci stared at her, speechless.


    **


    Afterpleting the formalities for the discharge procedures, Su Wanwan fled the office.


    The office was silent for a while until¡­


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Nangong Ciughed uncontrobly, hitting the table with his hand. ¡°Stop messing around?! Hahaha! Big bro, do you think your woman yed too many video games? Hahaha!¡±


    He was going to die fromughing too much!


    Huo Jingshen simply sat on the sofa as he lit a cigarette. ¡°You are behaving like a mentally retarded person right now.¡±


    Nangong Ci¡¯sughter stopped instantly, and he pursed his lips contemtively.After a while, he leaned forward slightly and asked, ¡°Bro, this girl is rather energetic. Do you think someone like you can control or keep up with her? Don¡¯t hurt yourself because you cannot hold itter-¡±


    ¡°I will be returning to Y Country in a few days,¡± Huo Jingshen interrupted him.


    ¡°Why? Is Dong Meng causing trouble for Yunda again?¡± Nangong Ci immediately sat down, hisplete attention on Huo Jingsheng.


    Although Huo Jingshen had returned to China to take over the Huo Yuan Group, he already had his own business in Europe. Since Nangong Ci also had shares in Yunda, he was very serious now.


    After taking a puff of his cigarette, Huo Jingshen replied calmly, ¡°Xihan wants to cooperate with Dong Meng.¡±


    Fu Xihan was Huo Jingshen¡¯s senior back when he studied in Y Country, and was also the second founder of Yunda.


    Nangong Ci frowned and asked, ¡°So what is your decision then?¡±


    Huo Jingshen stared at Nangong Ci for a long time. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go over there instead?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s out of the question!¡± Nangong Ci protested indignantly, ¡°How can a perfect man like me simply enter a marriage? Furthermore¡­¡±


    He leaned back in his chair and said, ¡°The eldest youngdy of the Dong family only has eyes for you, not other men. She is actually not that bad, just a little arrogant. Moreover, she is twenty-eight this year and you are thirty, so there¡¯s not much of a gap. She¡¯s also pretty and a strong career woman, and has devoted herself to you for so many years. In the future, she can continue helping you in the European market, and you¡¯ll also receive twenty percent of Dong Meng¡¯s shares¡­¡±


    Nangong Ci trailed off when he saw the warning look Huo Jingsheng was giving him. Nangong Ci cleared his throat and stood up, pretending to study a medical book.


    ¡°That Su Wanwan,¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly said, ¡°is probably the person that the people from Dong Meng have been looking for.¡±


    Bang! The thick medical textbook fell on the table.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Nangong Ci suwng around, looking shocked and confused. ¡°Is that why you approached that woman then?¡±


    Dong Meng¡¯s power was mainly focused in Europe, but Huo Jingshen had found out that Dong Meng had been sending people to conduct private investigations in China. However, nobody knew the exact details of those people at all.


    Huo Jingshen inhaled deeply, his dark eyes unreadable amidst the light smoke in the room. ¡°Yes and no.¡±


    Nangong Ci was silent.


    ***


    On the other side of the hospital.


    When Su Wanwan returned downstairs, she saw Su Yanyan as soon as the elevator door opened.


    ¡°Oh! It¡¯s the precious youngdy who returned from abroad. It took you so long just to get the hospital discharge procedures done! Don¡¯t you feel guilty for making everyone wait for you?¡±


    Su Wanwan could not be bothered with her and simply walked towards the ward.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Su Yanyan ran in front of Su Wanwan and stretched out her hand to stop her.


    Su Yanyan was wearing high heels but at one hundred and sixty centimetres tall, she was still a little shorter than Su Wanwan.


    Su Wanwan looked at her condescendingly and sneered, ¡°A good dog does not get in a person¡¯s way.¡±


    Su Yanyan pretended she did not hear her and narrowed her eyes as she studied Su Wanwan¡¯s face.


    Su Wanwan had tied up her long and curly hair today, but it was a little messierpared to before. And her lips¡­


    They were red and swollen¡­ almost like they had been kissed.


    ¡°Where did you go?¡± Su Yanyan demanded suspiciously.


    Xing Yuyun had said that he wanted to go out and smoke as soon as he arrived at the ward. Did the two of them meet in private?


    ¡°None of your business.¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s words inadvertently confirmed her suspicions.


    Su Yanyan was furious and pointed at Su Wanwan. ¡°Su Wanwan, I am telling you that Xing Yuyun is now my fianc¨¦e! We will be getting engaged next month, so from today onwards, watch yourself and try to avoid any rumors! If you dare continue trying to get closer to him, I will-¡±


    Smack!


    Su Wanwan pped Su Yanyan¡¯s hand away and said coldly, ¡°Su Yanyan, I would advise you to tighten the rope that you have in your hands in the future. Don¡¯t let your man out so casually, because he will keep pestering me like a mad dog. It makes me disgusted!¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s expression was unreadable. ¡°What do you mean by that? Who are you calling a dog? Stop right there! Su Wanwan, I asked you to stop!¡±


    Su Wanwan ignored her and walked away.

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17: Call Off the Engagement Immediately


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Su Yanyan finally found Xing Yuyun by the stairwell.


    The smell of the smoke from the cigarettes was overwhelming, and there were tons of cigarette butts at his feet. Xing Yuyun nced at Su Yanyan indifferently before he continued puffing his cigarette.


    ¡°Brother Yun.¡± Su Yanyan suppressed her anger as she asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen at thepany?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s cancel our engagement.¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s expresssion changed instantly. ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Xing Yuyun stared at her intently and repeated, ¡°I said that we should cancel our engagement.¡±


    ¡°¡­ But why?¡±


    Xing Yuyun did not reply.


    Su Yanyan grabbed his arm and began to apologize profusely: ¡°Brother Yun, I am so sorry. I admit that I was wrong and the photos were my mistake. I swear that I will never do something like that again in the future, so please forgive me. Our engagement banquet is only twenty days away. Our invitation cards have already been sent out and we have already booked the hotel. I have also selected all of our outfits-¡±


    ¡°I can handle all of those things,¡± Xing Yuyun replied coldly.


    Su Yanyan looked at the handsome man in front of her and suddenly realized that he was serious.


    At that moment, Su Wanwan¡¯s face shed in Su Yanyan¡¯s mind.


    She felt a pang of jealousy and couldn¡¯t help but blurt out, ¡°Is it because of Su Wanwan? Are you regretting it because she is back now? Did you have a private meeting with her just now? Did the both of you kiss-¡±


    ¡°This has nothing to do with her,¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted her impatiently.


    ¡°I knew it!¡± Su Yanyan screamed, ¡°You have been cold to me ever since she returned to China! If she was not here at the hospital to help my grandfather get discharged, you would not havee all the way here either, right? Su Wanwan is really amazing! She stole your heart as soon as she came back, but do you know what she said about you? She said that you are just like a dog that is always pestering her and clinging to her!¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Xing Yuyun ordered sharply.


    The image of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan together seemed to be imprinted in his mind. He could not help but think of the embarrassment, humiliation, and massive blow to his self-esteem just now.


    As a man, he could not ept it!


    ¡°She is nothing more than an illegitimate child! She is just like her mother! She started fighting when she was just a junior in high school and she was even locked up before! She fooled around with men in bars with Mo Weiyi when they were just teenagers, so her reputation has already been tarnished a long time ago!¡±


    ¡°Su Yanyan!¡±


    Su Yanyan gasped when he grabbed her wrist.


    ¡°Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Su Wanwan is?¡± Xing Yuyun gripped her wrist as he red at her furiously. ¡°When I was engaged to her, we had not even held hands before. But what about you? You secretly drugged me and seduced me so that I would be sexually intimate with you. Tell me then, don¡¯t you think that you are the despicable and trashy one instead of her?¡±


    Su Yanyan trembled uncontrobly, her face ashen.


    He knew?


    ¡°Did you drug that ss of red wine that night too?¡± Xing Yuyun sneered when he saw the guilty look on her face.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that everything that day seemed too coincidental, he would not have gone to the hospital for a checkup that night.


    ¡°I want to cancel the engagement immediately,¡± Xing Yuyun said again.


    Cancel?


    Upset and angry, Su Yanyan cried out, ¡°Why did you agree to get engaged to me before this then? You even did it with me-¡±


    ¡°I hate being set up, especially by a shameless woman like you! If it weren¡¯t for your father constantly pressuring my grandfather, do you think that I would simply agree to get engaged to someone like you?¡± After he was done speaking, Xing Yuyun turned around and left.


    **


    In the ward.


    Jiang Yi frowned as she nced at the time.


    That Yanyan¡­


    How long had she been away for? Why wasn¡¯t she back yet? Yuyun was not around either.


    ¡°Grandpa, it is gettingte. I will take you downstairs first,¡± Su Wanwan said gently.


    Su Xueqin was sitting on his wheelchair, looking stern and angry.


    ¡°Dad, Yanyan and Yuyun should be back soon.¡± As soon as Jiang Yu said that, the door opened and Su Yanyan walked in, a look of despair on her face.


    Jiang Yu hurriedly got up and asked, ¡°Yanyan, where is Yuyun?¡±


    Su Yanyan froze for a moment before saying quickly, ¡°He said that he had something to do at thepany,¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Su Xueqin snorted.


    When she saw the unhappy look on the old man¡¯s face, Jiang Yi rushed to exin, ¡°Perhaps something unexpected came up at thepany. After all, Yuyun has just be its general manager. No wonder he left in such a hurry just now! Aunty Yang,e and help Wanwan with the wheelchair.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Madam.¡±


    After the group of people left, Jiang Yi finally looked at her daughter.


    ¡°Yanyan, what is the matter with Yuyun? The old master¡¯s mood finally improved a little, so why did he leave so suddenly without even saying anything at all?¡±


    Jiang Yi had specifically asked her daughter to invite Xing Yuyun to the hospital because Su Xueqin was getting discharged today. She wanted him to say a few nice words in front of the old man so that they could atone for their mistakes and try to please him instead. In the end, he had left just like that.


    Su Yanyan suddenly burst into tears. ¡°Brother Yun¡­ Brother Yun, he¡­¡±

    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Jiang Yi was taken aback and asked quickly, ¡°What happened to Yuyun?¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s eyes filled with tears and she opened her mouth to tell her mother, but eventually changed her mind at thest minute. ¡°Nothing is wrong. He is simply too busy and has no time to apany me at all. That¡¯s why I lost my temper just now.¡±


    ¡°Yanyan!¡± Jiang Yi heaved a huge sigh of relief, then chided her daughter: ¡°How many times have I told you that Yuyun has just taken on the position of general manager of thepany? It¡¯s only natural for him to be focused on his business and career first. After all, a man should always put his career first. As his wife, you should be more considerate and not lose your temper or upset him. Do you understand me?¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Su Yanyan replied miserably as she wiped the tears off her face.


    ***


    At the Su family vi, at night.


    After they had finished dinner, Su Xueqin took out a bank card and said, ¡°Wanwan, take this.¡±


    Su Yuntang immediately asked, ¡°Dad, what are you doing?¡±


    Although he really hated his own daughter, he had always been responsible for all of her affairs, including her monthly living expenses.


    Su Xueqin red at him before growling, ¡°Do I need your permission to buy a car for my granddaughter?¡±


    Buy a car?


    Even Su Wanwan was stunned.


    After forcing the bank card into her hand, Su Xueqin said, ¡°Go to the car dealership tomorrow with Uncle Zhou and pick a car that you like. Make sure that you take driving sses and get your driver¡¯s license before school starts. Take it as your twentieth birthday present from your grandfather.¡±


    Jiang Yi frowned unhappily.


    Su Yanyan had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday. She would only celebrate hering-of-age ceremony once in a lifetime, but Su Xueqin did not say anything at all during that time. Although it was probably because he was angry at Xing Yuyun at the time, the difference in his treatment towards Su Wanwan and Su Yanyan was simply too much!


    ¡°Thank you for remembering my birthday, Grandpa.¡± Su Wanwan smiled happily, and unconsciously nced at Su Yanyan from the corner of her eye.


    As expected, the expression on the her sister¡¯s face was extremely nasty.


    Su Yuntang was very unsatisfied and protested, ¡°Dad, she is still young. Buying a car is-¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Su Xueqin cut him off impatiently. ¡°I am already tired. Wanwan, push me back to my bedroom.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Grandpa.¡±


    **


    Su Wanwan chatted with her grandfather in his bedroom for a short while. As Su Wanwan was returning to the living room, she heard Aunty Yang call out, ¡°Eldest youngdy, there is a phone call for you!¡±


    It was a phone call from Mo Weiyi, asking to apany her to watch a movie to celebrate her birthday.


    It was already past seven o¡¯clock at night.


    ¡°Where is your husband?¡±


    Mo Weiyi could also be considered rebellious before she got married. However, after getting married, Xiao Yebai was quite strict with her and she was generally not allowed to go out alone at night.


    ¡°Something urgent came up at the hotel in Jiangcheng, so Xiaobai will only be able toe back tomorrow. This is a golden opportunity, so just apany me to go out and have some fun!¡±


    So that was the case.


    After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan went upstairs.


    She was originally nning to change out of her clothes, but besides the clothes that she was wearing now and the dress that Mo Weiyi had lent her, her closet was filled with all her strange clothes from two years ago.


    Her rebellious and frivolous past seemed so childish now!


    Forget it.


    Su Wanwan let down her long hair, put on some light make up, and headed downstairs.


    Su Yuntang came out of the study room with a newspaper in his hand. When he saw her leaving in a hurry, he scowled and asked, ¡°It is already sote at night, why are you going out again?¡±


    ¡°Meeting friends.¡±


    ¡°How many times have I told you not to mix with those useless people? Have you forgotten that you have been arrested before? You did it before and you want to do it again now that you are back? Were all of your previous lessons not enough?¡±


    Su Wanwan widened her beautiful eyes, and asked innocently, ¡°Isn¡¯t Deputy Director Su here? Weren¡¯t you the one who used to bail me out every time in the past? What¡¯s the matter, have you been demoted? You can¡¯t afford to bail me out anymore?¡±


    Although the Su family was not as famous as the other big families in Nanchang, they were still considered a pretty reputable family.


    Su Xueqin was a veteran director who had retired from the television station. He had worked in the media industry for decades and had numerous contacts and connections.


    Su Yuntang had taken up the position of deputy director at the Radio and Television Administration two years ago. It would not be that difficult for him to bail someone out, right?


    ¡°You!¡± Su Yuntang was infuriated by her nonchnt attitude, and was clearly about to lose his temper.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, Yuntang.¡± Jiang Yi hurriedly grabbed her husband¡¯s arm before murmuring softly, ¡°Wanwan will be twenty years old after today. Don¡¯t worry, she is not a teenager anymore. She is already a sensible adult and will not do all those silly things anymore.¡±


    Su Wanwan nced at her icily.


    Would Jiang Yi die if she did not bring up Su Wanwan¡¯s past?


    Jiang Yi just smiled and said gently, ¡°Wanwan, why don¡¯t you ask the driver to send you there? Come home early after the gathering is over.¡±


    Su Wanwan could not be bothered with her, and simply turned around and left.


    ***


    The ce she was supposed to meet Mo Weiyi at was called Guidi, which was located in the center of Nanchang.


    Su Wanwan had not been back in China for two years, and Nanchang had changed a lot in that time.


    After getting out of the car, Su Wanwan looked at the private club that was mysteriously alluring at night, slightly embarrassed.


    She initially thought that this was the name of a movie theater.


    After mentioning Mo Weiyi¡¯s name, Su Wanwan followed the waiter all the way through the lobby and into the elevator as they went straight up to the sixth floor.


    As soon as the elevator door opened, Mo Weiyi was standing there, waiting for her.


    ¡°Happy birthday, Wanwan!¡±


    One of them was very morous and gorgeous, and the other was very cute and charming. The both of them immediately attracted a lot of attention.


    At that moment, Huo Zexi who was seated on the sofa in the corner was holding a wine ss in his hand as he stared straight ahead.


    After the two girls entered their private room, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.


    A waiter came over immediately. ¡°Young Master Huo.¡±


    ¡°I want you to deliver this drink to that long-haired chickter.¡± After that, he lowered his voice as he said, ¡°Just tell her that it is a free gift from the club tonight.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Young Master Huo.¡±

 Chapter 19

    Chapter 19: That Girl!


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    After the waiter left, Huo Zexi took a sip of his wine with a smug expression on his face.


    That girl!


    She nearly disfigured his face thest time and because of that, he had been reprimanded by the old master and grounded for two whole days!


    Coincidentally, he had bumped into the culprit here tonight. If he did not teach her a lesson, how could he ever save his reputation?


    ***


    Inside the private room, Su Wanwan looked around in awe as she murmured, ¡°Wow, as expected of Your Royal Highness. You really know how to enjoy life.¡±


    Now she understood why Mo Weiyi said that they were going to watch a movie.


    Half of the private room was covered by a huge sofa while the other half had a massive movie screen. Coupled with an impressive sound system, it was the perfect movie theater! The table was filled with all sorts of food, drinks, and games.


    The name of the movie was ¡®The Former Three¡¯ and it was a romance movie.


    Su Wanwan was not interested in this kind of movie at all, so she simply sat down and reached for the alcohol on the table.


    ¡°You are not allowed to drink alcohol!¡± Mo Weiyi said sternly as she pulled Su Wanwan back.


    ¡°Why not?¡± There were tons of wine bottles on the table; weren¡¯t they there for her to drink?


    ¡°What will I do if you get drunk? I would not be able to move you at all!¡± Mo Weiyi replied immediately.


    ¡°How could I possibly get drunk?¡± Su Wanwan snorted.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m telling you!¡± Mo Weiyi insisted. ¡°Do you know where I found you thest time?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you find me at the police station?¡±


    Mo Weiyi red at her and scoffed, ¡°I found you in the men¡¯s washroom!¡±


    Men¡¯s washroom?


    Su Wanwan was taken aback. ¡°Seriously?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Xiaobai. You were sitting on the floor in the men¡¯s washroom, fast asleep. Fortunately, you were at the police station the other night. Do you know how dangerous it could have been if you were elsewhere? Do you know how many perverts there are out there nowadays? Xiaobai never allows me to drink when I am out alone. After all, as women, we should protect ourselves when we are outside.¡±


    Was her best friend taking the opportunity to make her jealous during this righteous lecture?


    Su Wanwan snorted. ¡°Hah! The other day was just an ident. I was angry so I wasn¡¯t paying too much attention to how much I was drinking that night.¡±


    ¡°You are still not allowed to drink.¡± Mo Weiyi pressed the service bell. ¡°Do you remember how many idents you¡¯ve had in the past due to alcohol? How often have you beat someone up or ended up in the police station? No matter what, you are only allowed to drink fruit juice tonight! I will ask the waiter to remove the alcoholic drinks and bring us more food.¡±


    Although Mo Weiyi looked very delicate and demure, she could be ferocious and terrifying when she wanted to.


    Very soon, the waiter came in and removed all the alcohol on the table.


    Su Wanwan watched in distress.


    Tobo and alcohol were two extremes for her ¨C she hated the smell of cigarettes, but she really enjoyed drinking. It made her feel as though she could forget all of her worries and wake up feeling like apletely new person¡­


    A strange song started ying, making Su Wanwan shudder in disgust, and Mo Weiyi¡¯s face became pale as she took out her phone.


    ¡°I¡¯m done for. It¡¯s Xiaobai.¡± Mo Weiyi stood up and said quickly, ¡°Wanwan, I have to go downstairs to answer the call, or else Xiaobai will definitely find out that I am not at home.¡±


    She did not know how, but whenever she wanted to do something ¡®bad¡¯, it was almost like Xiao Yebai knew. Sometimes, Mo Weiyi could not help but wonder if he had installed a tracker on her.


    Mo Weiyi hurriedly left the private room, and Su Wanwan continued to watch the movie out of boredom.


    Knock! Knock!


    Someone knocked on the door, and then a waiter entered the private room.


    ¡°Hello. This is a free drink, on the house,¡± the waiter said politely, put a ss down on the table, and then left the room.


    Su Wanwan blinked at the drink in disbelief.


    Was this ce really so good that they gave out free drinks?


    It looked like a cocktail, with a red me-like design floating on top of the blue liquid. It was very beautiful and tempting.


    Su Wanwan really wanted to drink it. It was just one cocktail! She could hold her liquor well and Weiyi was not around anyway¡­


    Su Wanwan picked up the ss she took sip after sip of the cocktail, finishing it very quickly.


    Mo Weiyi was still not back yet. The movie was about to finish, with the ending song starting to y.


    Since Su Wanwan did not have her cell phone with her, she could only sit down and wait for Mo Weiyi in the room.


    The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open again. A woman came in and then said, ¡°Sorry. I entered the wrong room.¡±


    The door closed again.


    Su Wanwan was sitting on the sofa, but she suddenly felt her vision getting a little hazy.


    Entered the wrong room?


    She stood up and went to open the door before going out and walking along the corridor.


    The club was veryrge and there were many private rooms on each floor. There was a thick dark-colored carpet on the floor, and yellow lights hanging all over the ceiling.


    The more Su Wanwan walked, the more she felt as though she was floating. She waspletely unaware of the fact that someone was following her closely.


    When she finally pushed a room door open and walked into it, Huo Zexi smirked as he walked over to the room. As soon as he touched the doorknob¡­


    ¡°Zexi.¡±


    Huo Zexi froze.


    After a few seconds, Huo Zexi turned around, pretending to be calm as he asked, ¡°Elder brother?¡±


    He did not know why, but whenever Huo Zexi saw Huo Jingshen, he felt guilty. He knew that he was being useless and submissive, but there was nothing else he could do. His elder brother practiced martial arts and was very skilled at fighting.


    Huo Jingshen had nearly even broken his hand at the police station thest time.


    Furthermore, Huo Jingshen was seven years older than him. Huo Jingshen was already living abroad when Huo Zexi was just starting to be sensible. To top it all off, when Huo Jingshen returned to China, he started working at Huo Yuan Group. Huo Zexi heard that Huo Jingshen¡¯s methods were ruthless and unscrupulous, and several people had suffered incredible losses from them.


    His grandfather really valued his eldest grandson and his grandma doted on him too. However, Huo Jingshen always had a very cold and indifferent attitude, even towards his elders. He was very detached from everyone else and this made him even more unpredictable.


    Huo Zexi felt that he was a very shrewd person.


    Although he was cursing silently in his heart, he had to be respectful on the outside. Huo Zexi had a fake smile on his face as he eximed, ¡°What a coincidence! Elder brother, you are here to socialize and entertain too?¡±


    Huo Jingshen stared at him before replying, ¡°This is the private room that Ji Jie booked.¡±


    Ji Jie was the assistant that Old Master Huo had given Huo Jingshen. He was solely responsible for handling all of his affairs in the Huo Yuan Group.


    Huo Zexi¡¯s smile froze on his face.


    Damn it, how awkward!


    How coincidental was it that the room that girl had chosen to enter was Huo Jingshen¡¯s room?! That girl really knew how to pick.


    Huo Zexi couldn¡¯t wait to tear Su Wanwan¡¯s body apart!


    ¡°Is there a reason why you were looking for me?¡± Huo Jingshen asked again, gaze calctive.


    ¡°No, no,¡± Huo Zexi hurriedly denied.


    If Huo Jingshen found out that he had drugged a woman, he might go back and tell the old master about it.


    Huo Zexi released the doorknob as he looked around awkwardly, then smacked his forehead, saying, ¡°Oh! I just realized that I came to the wrong floor. Heh. Elder brother, please carry on with whatever you are doing. I will leave first.¡±


    After he was done speaking, Huo Zexi turned around and ran away immediately.

    Chapter 20: Do You Want to Drink?


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    After Su Wanwan went to the bathroom, her head felt giddy. Her vision was blurry, and she could not see anything clearly at all.


    After fumbling with the doorknob, she saw someone sitting on the sofa in front of her.


    Was that Mo Weiyi?


    She walked towards the person absently. As she was approaching them, she suddenly tripped over the raised carpet and fell forwards.


    However, the expected pain did note.


    Instead, she could smell the faint scent of tobo, mixed with the mellow aroma of red wine.


    Su Wanwan tried her best to open her eyes. As she followed the fragrance, she saw a ss of red wine on the table in front of her.


    ¡°Do you want to drink?¡± A low and gentle voice sounded, as though hypnotizing her.


    Su Wanwan nodded nkly.


    The ss of red wine was lifted off the table and held in front of her.


    The fragrance of the red wine was deliciously overwhelming.


    Su Wanwan leaned forward eagerly but before she could even touch the ss, Huo Jingshen had already taken it back and downed the entire ss of red wine in front of her.


    Su Wanwan stared at him in disbelief.


    Why was this person like this?


    Su Wanwan looked at him imploringly, herrge eyes wide in despair.


    Huo Jingshen looked at her contemtively.


    He had lived for thirty years, and there had been no shortage of outstanding and beautiful women. There had been various types of women around him, but none of them could arouse his interest at all.


    Since he was too pure-hearted and did not have much desire, his brothers constantly made fun of him, asking if he had any unspeakable problems in certain aspects.


    Sometimes, he even doubted himself.


    It was only until he met Su Wanwan at the airport that he knew the truth.


    The woman had easily stirred up his emotions, twice in a row in just half a day. She even took the initiative to act like an alluring woman in the hospital today. Although her technique was very poor and she seemed to be very inexperienced, it made her even more unforgettable in his mind.


    He raised his hand and gripped her pointed chin as he took a closer look at her.


    The girl had a small, oval face with very delicate facial features. She was wearing very light makeup, and coupled with the effect of the alcohol, her almond-shaped eyes were wide and zed, making her look very innocent and coquettish.


    She was obviously still very young, but she had a sultry charm about her. It might have been because of the tiny peach blossom mole under her right eyelid, like the finishing touch to a beautiful painting.


    Ever since he started working in the industry, he had made asset investments for more than ten years, and he has also invested in several projects with amazing profits. Now, was he really going to invest his energy in this young girl?


    Huo Jingshen asked, ¡°Do you want to go upstairs?¡±


    Su Wanwan did not reply.


    In his eyes, acquiescence was tantamount to consent.


    Huo Jingshen did not hesitate anymore and quickly stood up as he took her away.


    ***


    In another private room.


    Mo Weiyi finally returned to the private room after she was done with her phone call, only to find out that there was no one in the room.


    Su Wanwan was not in the washroom or corridor either.


    Could it be that she had already gone home?


    Impossible! Su Wanwan would never leave without saying goodbye.


    There were no clues in the private room at all, so Mo Weiyi could only sit down and wait for her. As time passed by, Mo Weiyi called the Su family vi, only to hear the servant say that Su Wanwan had note back home.


    Mo Weiyi could not wait any longer. She stood up and rushed outside before walking along the corridor, opening each of the private room doors to check inside. Very soon, Mo Weiyi had been through most of the rooms on the entire sixth floor, causing a lot of chaos along the way.


    Mo Weiyi opened another door, and the men and women inside the private room stared at her with wide eyes. Right after that, there was the sound of footsteps behind her.


    ¡°Miss Mo.¡±


    It was the manager of Guidi and there were a few security guards behind him.


    He bowed slightly, smiling and apologizing to the guests. As soon as the door was closed, the expression on his face became very solemn as he said, ¡°Miss Mo, a customerined that you were trespassing in their room.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t I look for someone? My friend is missing!¡± Mo Weiyi wanted to turn around and open the room door opposite her, but the security guards quickly stopped her.


    ¡°Step aside!¡±


    ¡°Miss Mo, you know the rules, so please do not make things difficult for us.¡± The manager was already breaking out into a cold sweat.


    He knew that he could not afford to offend the daughter of the Mo Group, but he could not afford to offend so many other customers too.


    As the security guards stood in front of her to block her way, Mo Weiyi felt anxious and wanted to cry.


    Guidi had been operating in Nanchang for slightly more than a year. Because of its huge capital investment and its prime location, it had captured the attention of many high-end customers. The private club had quickly became the number one entertainment establishment in Nanchang.


    Aside from the reasons mentioned above, the reason why Mo Weiyi liked to secretlye here was because Guidi was not an industry under the Mo Group. Therefore, nobody would be keeping an eye on her and it would naturally be more difficult for Xiao Yebai to find out that she was here.


    However, Mo Weiyi was filled with regret at that moment.


    She was Mo Weiyi, and nine out of ten people knew that she was the princess of the Mo family. However, Su Wanwan had just returned to China. Aside from some rtives and close friends, there were very few people in Nanchang who would know of her identity at all. Mo Weiyi could not help but wonder if someone with bad intentions had already done something to Su Wanwan. After all, Su Wanwan was really very beautiful.


    Those who came here to spend were mostly the rich and powerful second-generation and third-generation heirs. Although Mo Weiyi was generally not involved in the circle and its games, it did not mean that she did not understand how it worked. It was one of the things she had been considering when she refused to allow Su Wanwan to drink earlier. Unexpectedly, she had actually lost Su Wanwan now.


    The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more she could not help but feel afraid¡­

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21: I Will Pay For the Damages


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    She took out her cell phone, a cold expression on her pretty face. ¡°Can I use my husband Xiao Yebai¡¯s identity as the chairman of Mo Group then?¡±


    The manager¡¯s expression changed instantly. Xiao Yebai was well-known in Nanchang, so hearing his name was quite intimidating. However, the manager hesitantly repeated, ¡°I am sorry, Miss Mo, but please do not make things difficult for us.¡±


    Mo Weiyi narrowed her eyes at the manager.


    This person was actually immune to her cajolery and coercion!


    Mo Weiyi was anxious and angry, about to burst into tears as she stammered, ¡°Then¡­ Then ask your boss toe out now!¡±


    ¡°Sorry, but our boss is not at the club tonight.¡±


    ¡°Are you a coward? Fine, I will call the police and ask them toe here then!¡± Mo Weiyi could only be shrewish and cause a scene at this point. ¡°Let¡¯s just see if Guidi can continue operating after this ugly scandal, or whether it will be done for after the Mo Group uses money to settle this!¡±


    As soon as Mo Weiyi said that, the people around them started to whisper among themselves. Some of them even took out their phones to take videos.


    Such people who enjoyed gossiping and creating drama, especially at gatherings of rich people, weremon in Nanchang. Since the youngdy of the Mo family wanted to create a scene, then the other party was probably also an influential big shot¡­


    As everyone discussed the situation, a strange ringtone filled the air.


    Mo Weiyi hurriedly answered the phone. Everyone was stunned when the arrogant and powerful youngdy of the Mo family suddenly burst into tears. She sobbed into the phone: ¡°Xiaobai! Xiaobai, what should I do? I lost Wanwan. Xiaobai, I am so scared right now¡­¡±


    The manager, security guards, and everyone stood there dumbfounded.


    ***


    Ten minutester, on the seventh floor of Guidi, a group of police officers stood outside a high-level VIP presidential suite. One of them knocked on the door and called out sternly, ¡°Temporary inspection! Please open the door immediately and agree to the inspection!¡±


    ¡­


    Mo Weiyi was standing in the corridor, clutching her cell phone tightly as she waited for the room door to be opened.


    Guidi had been operating for more than a year now. Since the owner of the club was the eldest young master of the Chu family from Chengnan, he had the support of the Chu family, so it was only natural for people to give him face when it came to anything rted to the establishment.


    However, this was the first time that so many police officers had appeared at the club!


    The Mo family monopolized the entire entertainment industry of Nanchang, and to top it all off, Mo Weiyi had just answered a phone call from Xiao Yebai in front of everyone. Within a few minutes, a whole lot of police officers had shown up at the club. Who other than Xiao Yebai could have such abilities?


    It wasn¡¯t as if he didn¡¯t know that the little princess of the Mo family had a delicate temper and was difficult to please. However, he did not expect that Xiao Yebai would be even more over the top. He was really no different from the monarch, doting on his wife and spoiling her to no end like this. He had actually ordered so many police officers toe here!


    The corridor was now filled with people who hade upstairs just to watch the drama. Even though there were many security guards and police officers around, people were still gathering. Their faces were alight with excitement as they discussed the matter, as though they were celebrating a festival.


    After all, everyone was from the same circle so it was rather thrilling to witness.


    ¡°Hurry up and knock on the door!¡± Mo Weiyi urged, ¡°If they refuse to open the door, just break it down! Do you understand?¡±


    The manager hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. ¡°Miss Mo, you cannot do that! You should not do that!¡±


    ¡°The police officers are here but you are still not allowing it? Hurry up and break down the door! I will pay for all the damages, it¡¯s not that expensive anyway. Why are you all hesitating?¡±


    ¡°Miss Mo¡­¡± The manager was really anxious at this point.


    If he knew that such a situation would ur tonight, he would have asked her to leave the moment she entered.


    The first to sixth floors in Guidi were for drinking and having fun, and had many private rooms. The most private VIP presidential suites were located on the seventh floor. Anyone who could afford to reserve a suite on the seventh floor was usually a powerful or reputable figure, or was close to the boss of Guidi.


    At this point, they were not only offending the guests, but they were also offending the boss. The manager could already imagine the gloomy expression on the young master Chu¡¯s face when he found out that his establishment had been raided by police officers.


    The room door swung open with a bang.


    Mo Weiyi turned around quickly, and her face paled when she saw the person standing there.


    What?


    Why was Huo Jingshen here?

 Chapter 22

    Chapter 22: Fianc¨¦e


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    He was wearing a dark shirt and ck suit trousers, both impably ironed with no traces of wrinkles at all. His sharp features and dark brows betrayed none of his emotions, but his aura was somewhat intimidating.


    There was no need to ask any questions because it was obvious that they had interrupted whatever he was doing.


    The manager was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.


    How coincidental was it that they ended up inspecting Huo Jingshen¡¯s room?


    Huo Jingshen ¨C the eldest grandson of the richest man in Nanchang! The entire Huo family¡¯s properties and assets would be his in the future!


    Huo Jingshen was someone even his boss would have to refer to as ¡®elder brother¡¯. Although he had just returned to China, he was a reputable and influential figure that everyone in the circle knew.


    However, the police officers did not know him, and one of them said firmly, ¡°Sir, please take out your identity card and show it to me.¡±


    Huo Jingshen simply stood there without moving, and eventually just slid both of his hands into his trouser pockets.


    The police officer frowned. ¡°Sir, please cooperate with us. Otherwise-¡±


    ¡°Ahh! No need. There is no need for all this.¡± Mo Weiyi hurriedly stepped forward to exin the situation with a strained smile. ¡°I am sorry, officer. This is my friend, and everyone knows who he is. Hurry up and check the next room instead.¡±


    The manager was also quick to agree. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, please continue with whatever you were doing. I am really sorry for the interruption, truly I am¡­¡±


    The police officer looked puzzled as he said slowly, ¡°Miss Mo, I received an order from my superior that you were the one who reported a crime and said that there was someone who called for a-¡±


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Mo Weiyi screamed suddenly before the police officer could finish his sentence. ¡°What? What did he say? There is no issue here, it must be a mistake!¡±


    She had been married for two years now, so Mo Weiyi had a lot of experience in ¡®that area¡¯. Huo Jingshen had not said anything at all, but how could any man possibly feel good after being interrupted during that kind of situation?


    Even she felt a little embarrassed¡­


    The police officer frowned but since the person who reported the incident had said as much, he could only nod his head as he turned around to leave.


    ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that Huo Jingshen?¡± Someone suddenly eximed.


    ¡°Who is Huo Jingshen?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know who Huo Jingshen is? He is the eldest young master of the Huo family who returned to China not too long ago. I heard that he came back to inherit the Huo Yuan Group.¡±


    That one little pebble caused a thousand ripples, and the discussion suddenly became very lively.


    ¡°The heir of the Huo family is actually calling for a prostitute at Guidi? Seriously?¡±


    ¡°Wow, the people whoe back from abroad are really different!¡±


    ¡°So he came to the city to y¡­¡±


    ¡°How exciting!¡±


    ¡°Wait! I want to take a picture!¡±


    ¡°I want to post a TikTok video!¡±


    Mo Weiyi¡¯s face was growing paler. She did not even dare to raise her head to look at Huo Jingshen¡¯s face. Would he turn around and target the Mo Group after this? Would this incident end up affecting Xiaobai¡¯s work?


    Oh, she was in really big trouble this time¡­


    ¡°Miss Mo.¡± The man¡¯s low voice suddenly sounded.


    Mo Weiyi jumped slightly, startled, and trembled a little. After that, she turned around with a forced smile. ¡°Mr. Huo.¡±


    ¡°What major did you study back in university?¡±


    Mo Weiyi was a little confused by his question, but since he seemed to be waiting for her answer, she hesitantly replied, ¡°Law.¡±


    Although she was a bad student who would often skip ss¡­


    ¡°So,¡± Huo Jingshen drawled, ¡°Is there anyw that states that I am not allowed toe here to spend time with my fianc¨¦e?¡±


    The smile on Mo Weiyi¡¯s face froze.


    Fianc¨¦e?


    ¡°Miss Mo?¡± Huo Jingshen raised a brow.


    Mo Weiyi hurriedly shook her head as she said, ¡°No, there is no suchw.¡±


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s eyes gleamed and his thin lips curved upwards in satisfaction as he said, ¡°Wanwan drank a little too much just now and was not feeling too well, so I brought her here to rest. Since you are here now, Miss Mo, I will have to ask for your help to take care of her instead.¡±


    Huo Jingshen stepped aside gracefully.


    Mo Weiyi blinked, not thinking too much about it as she rushed into the room.


    After a brief pause, Mo Weiyi¡¯s surprised voice sounded from within the suite: ¡°Wanwan! Wanwan, are you okay?¡±


    ***


    There was a long silence in the corridor.


    This was obviously a very messy situation.


    Huo Jingshen simply stood there with his hands in his trouser pockets. His expression was indifferent but his chin was lifted slightly, as if daring anyone to object.


    The manager heaved a huge sigh of relief as he tried to smooth things over. ¡°I already said that this is all just a huge misunderstanding. Sorry, officers, for troubling you toe all the way here for nothing.¡±


    The police officers were also d to be called off work, so they took a few official statements before turning to leave.


    ¡°Officer Yang! Officer Yang!¡± Suddenly, a young police officer ran over and whispered something to another police officer.


    The manager could not help but feel very nervous, an ominous feeling overwhelming him.


    Officer Yang scowled and barked out, ¡°I want everyone to follow me to the fourth floor now!¡±

 Chapter 23

    Chapter 23: ckout Drunk Again


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Early the next morning, Su Wanwan woke up to an unfamiliar room.


    Oh no, she had cked out again!


    Panicking, she threw off the quilt that was covering her.


    Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief. She was still fully dressed, so everything was okay. Nothing had happened. Su Wanwan held her head as she tried to recallst night¡¯s events, but she could not remember anything at all. She knew she had been drinking in the private room with Mo Weiyi, but after that¡­


    ¡°Wanwan darling, you¡¯re awake!¡±


    Su Wanwan turned around and she saw Mo Weiyi hurrying towards her.


    She was wearing an exquisite white nightgown, and her long hair was messy. Her face was free of makeup, and she looked like she had just woken up.


    Mo Weiyi ran towards Su Wanwan and immediately started questioning her: ¡°Tell me everything! When did you start hooking up with Huo Jingshen? The both of you are progressing this quickly but you didn¡¯t tell me anything at all? You really are incredible, Wanwan; you dumped a scumbag then turned around and found a male god! Do you know how embarrassed I wasst night? I almost asked people to break down the door and ruin the fun that was going on between the both of you-¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Su Wanwan asked with a frown.


    Huo Jingshen?


    Break down the door?


    Fun between the both of them?


    Didn¡¯t she and Mo Weiyi sleep here because they got drunkst night? That was what they used to do when they were still studying.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before that Huo Jingshen is the Old Master Huo¡¯s grandson? He¡¯s the handsome man who just returned to China! Tell me the truth: Did the both of you already do it? How was it? He is so tall and handsome, so he should have a pretty good figure-¡±


    ¡°Does Xiaobai know that you are talking about another man¡¯s body here?¡± Su Wanwan cut her friend off.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I am just discussing, it¡¯s not like I¡¯ll see or touch it anyway. I only want to talk about this with you because I care about your happiness,¡± Mo Weiyi said brightly.


    Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes at her best friend.


    ¡°To be honest, the men who look serious and decent on the surface are actually more exciting in private! Do you know that I used to be worried that Xiaobai would be very cold and indifferent in that aspect because he is such a cool person? I tried to seduce him and hook up with him for years using so many hints and explicit sayings! The only thing I had not done was directly tell him that I wanted his body. He never responded to me back then, but unexpectedly, after we got married¡­¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened, her cheeks burning. She hurriedly interrupted Mo Weiyi, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough. What time is it now?¡±


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s almost ten o¡¯clock.¡±


    Ten o¡¯clock?


    Su Wanwan practically leaped off the bed.


    She was done for! Su Xueqin had asked her to go to the car dealership to choose a car that she wanted with Uncle Zhou today, but not only did she stay out all night, she also woke upte today!


    ¡°Where are you going, Wanwan? I haven¡¯t finished speaking yet¡­¡± Mo Weiyi whined in dissatisfaction.


    Last night was so shocking, and she really wanted to talk to her best friend about Huo Jingshen.


    ¡°I have something urgent to attend to, so I have to rush home now. I¡¯ll call youter!¡± Su Wanwan straightened out her clothes and grabbed her bag before she left.


    ***


    It was almost noon when she returned to the Su family vi.


    As soon as she entered the gate, she saw two cars parked in the courtyard. There wasughtering from inside the vi.


    A guest?


    As soon as she entered the vi, Su Xueqin¡¯s voice sounded as Su Wanwan took off her shoes at the entrance: ¡°Is Wanwan back?¡±


    ¡°Where did Wanwan go? Why is sheing back from outside?¡±


    It sounded like her aunt Su Yunrong¡¯s voice.


    Su Wanwan walked into the living room and looked around.


    Su Yunrong and her husband, Qiao Jianye, were here. Oddly enough, Xing Yuyun and his parents were also here.


    Damn it.


    She was probably lucky she didn¡¯te homest night.


    Sure enough, Su Yuntang had a very ugly expression on his face as he asked sharply, ¡°Where did you go to fool aroundst night?¡±


    Su Wanwan walked over and sat down on an empty seat near her grandfather¡¯s wheelchair. After greeting her grandfather, she turned to her angry father and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I will be attending a gathering with my friends? I decided to stay out because it ended quitete.¡±


    ¡°You have only just returned to China but you are already going outte at night and staying out instead ofing home. You do not even know how to call home to let us know! Do you even have any sense or consciousness?¡±


    Su Wanwan replied frankly, ¡°I did not go out to fool around with men or to be some man¡¯s mistress. I simply went out to watch a movie with my best friend, so how can you say that I do not have any sense? On the contrary, I think that I have more self-love and self-respectpared to a certain someone.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed the moment Su Wanwan said that.

    This was especially so for Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, whose faces flushed red instantly.


    ¡°Bastard!¡± Su Yuntang stood up suddenly. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that there are elders here? You do not know when to act appropriately at all! Go back to your room now!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s the bastard!¡± Su Xueqin¡¯s voice was even louder as he pounded his walking cane on the ground. ¡°I am still here, so who gave you the authority to ask people to leave? You really have no respect for me anymore!¡±


    ¡°Dad,¡± Su Yunrong spoke up, ¡°You have just been discharged from the hospital. Don¡¯t get angry, or it will affect your health.¡±


    After she was done speaking, she looked at Su Wanwan. After looking at her from head to toe, Su Yunrong smiled as she said, ¡°Wanwan has really undergone a huge change! I could not recognize her at all.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this young woman is truly different from the little girl that she was,¡± her husband, Qiao Jianye, chimed in.


    Su Xueqin snorted coldly, his anger seeming to fade a little as he said, ¡°Wanwan, greet your elders.¡±


    Su Wanwan pursed her lips slightly before she stood up and said, ¡°Uncle. Aunt.¡±


    After that, she turned to the well-dressed middle-aged couple who was also seated there. ¡°Uncle Xing. Aunt Huo.¡±


    Huo Qinyu looked at her, stunned.


    Su Wanwan had been anxious to rush home earlier and did not have time to put on any makeup on, so her face looked fresh and supple.


    If it weren¡¯t for her argument with Su Yuntang just now, Huo Qinyu would not have believed that she was actually that unimpressive young girl from back then.


    She could still remember the first time she met Su Wanwan. She had been a seventeen-year-old high school student at that time, but Su Wanwan had been in a very weird outfit, wearing thick ck eyeliner, ck lipstick, and even ck nail polish. Her short hair had been dyed a shocking white.


    Huo Qinyu felt that she could not respect that girl at all, so after the incident between Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan happened, she immediately agreed to their marriage without reprimanding them.


    ¡°Oh! Who is this?¡± A female voice suddenly called out.


    Su Wanwan raised her head and looked at the woman who was walking in from the balcony.


    The woman looked at her, then burst outughing. ¡°Oh, it actually is Wanwan! The phrase ¡®the clothes make the man¡¯ really is true! Wanwan is very beautiful now that she is all cleaned up! Young Master Xing, don¡¯t you think so too?¡±


    Xing Yuyun did not respond.


    ¡°Zixin, don¡¯t say anything else,¡± Su Yunrong hissed at her daughter.


    Qiao Zixin acted as though her mother was making a big fuss out of nothing as she eximed, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, am I not allowed to tell the truth? If Wanwan was not beautiful, would the young master agree to get engaged to her in the first ce? It really is a pity that Wanwan had to go and study abroad as soon as they got engaged though; Young Master Xing is such an active man, so how could he possibly endure it? He cannot even handle a little seduction. The situation is actually perfectly understandable.¡±


    The members of both the Su family and the Xing family had ghastly expressions on their faces.


    Su Yunrong could only stand up and say quickly, ¡°Dad, I am sorry but I just remembered that we have something to settle at home. We will have to excuse ourselves first.¡±


    Su Xueqin waved his hand impatiently.


    ¡°What do we have to do at home? Mom, don¡¯t pull me. Mom¡­¡± Qiao Zixin was dragged all the way outside by her mother. Su Yunrong only let go of her when they had reached the entrance of the vi.


    ¡°You should not get involved in matters involving the Xing family!¡±


    ¡°What is there to be involved in?¡± Qiao Zixin scoffed disapprovingly, ¡°A rtionship between a man and woman is between two willing parties anyway. Whether it is Wanwan or Yanyan, this matter involves a daughter from the Su family getting married into the Xing family. It has nothing to do with us either way¡­¡±


    ¡°Stop talking!¡± Su Yunrong sighed wearily.


    This daughter of hers was really nothing like her at all!


    She had never understood what emotional intelligence was, and never knew when to act ordingly. People always said that ¡®a daughter will walk in her father¡¯s footsteps¡¯, and the phrase was really urate in her case.


    Su Yunrong red at her husband.


    Qiao Jianye was puzzled but simply said, ¡°I will drive the car over here first.¡±


    After he left, Su Yunrong patiently spoke to her daughter: ¡°How many times have I told you that Yanyan will be getting engaged to Xing Yuyun soon? From now on, the Xing family will be our inws. Your father is preparing to get promoted to be the section chief, so he will need a lot of help from the Xing family¡­ Zixin, are you listening to me?!¡±


    Qiao Zixin did not reply as she was looking straight ahead, dazed.


    A ck Bentley was parked at the intersection and a man was leaning against the car, smoking and talking on the phone.


    He was wearing a white shirt with a ck suit pants. Although his style was low-key and simple, his clothes were clearly expensive and elegant.


    He seemed to be slightly more than six feet tall, and the casual way he leaned against the car was rather attractive. The man¡¯s long legs and perfect body proportions made it seem like he was an international male model on the cover of fashion magazines.


    Qiao Zixin felt her heart flutter in her chest.


    She was already twenty five years old and had been in rtionships with many men before, but this was the first time she had ever noticed such an incredible man. His figure, his looks, his temperament¡­


    He was practically perfect!


    When she saw him turning around, almost looking in her direction, she quickly put on her most charming smile and raised her hand to greet him.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Qiao Zixin howled suddenly, rubbing her hand. ¡°Mom, why did you pinch me?!¡±


    It hurt!


    ¡°Did you hear what I said?¡±


    ¡°I got it! I got it!¡± Qiao Zixin rubbed her arm impatiently but when she turned around again, Mr. Perfect was already gone. The ck Bentley had also disappeared.

    Chapter 25: Help Their Romance Have a Happy Ending


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    In the living room of the Su family mansion.


    After a short silence, Su Xueqin said, ¡°Since there are no other outsiders here, I have a few words that I want to say about the engagement between these two youngsters.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, please go ahead.¡± Xing Guozhi was filled with respect for Su Xueqin. Although the old master had already retired a long time ago, he was still a master in his profession and very well-known in the industry.


    ¡°Xing Yuyun and Wanwan¡¯s marriage had already been set two years ago, but he betrayed my granddaughter and let her down. Although Wanwan is very magnanimous and does not mind, I believe that the Xing family still owes Wanwan an exnation.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, you are right.¡± Xing Guozhi sighed heavily then said, ¡°At the end of the day, Yuyun is indeed in the wrong when ites to this matter. As his father, it seems I have failed to educate and discipline him properly.¡±


    Huo Qinyu also spoke up: ¡°Yuyun¡¯s handling of this matter after the incident was very inappropriate, and Guozhi and I have taught him a lesson for it. Since both sides of the family are here today, then as his mother, I would also like to apologize. Wanwan, I am really sorry that you were wronged and suffered an injustice.¡±


    Su Wanwan did not say anything.


    Su Xueqin did not seem to be satisfied either and he simply snorted as he looked at Xing Yuyun.


    Huo Qinyu hurriedly nudged her son and urged, ¡°Yuyun, why don¡¯t you say something?¡±


    Xing Yuyun did not speak or move at all.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you dissatisfied?¡± Su Xueqin sneered, ¡°Young brat, let me tell you something. If it weren¡¯t for Wanwan saying that she did not like you and did not care about whether you cheated on her, I would not have allowed you to step through the door of the Su family mansion at all! The only reason I allowed you to enter our house today is because of Wanwan, and yet you still dare to behave so arrogantly?!¡±


    There was still no response from Xing Yuyun.


    Su Xueqin¡¯s re was icy, and the veins on the back of his hands stood out as he clenched his fists. It was obvious that he was furious.


    Xing Yuyun¡¯s parents quickly tried to persuade their son: ¡°Yuyun! Hurry up and say something!¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Grandpa Su had just said?¡±


    ¡°Yuyun¡­¡±


    ¡°Forget it, Grandpa.¡± A demure voice suddenly sounded. Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smile as she said softly, ¡°It does not matter whether he wants to apologize or not, since he has already cheated on me. How can he possibly take that back and undo everything that he has done?¡±


    Su Xueqin looked at her unhappily. ¡°Wanwan¡­¡±


    ¡°Although Xing Yuyun and I will not end up bing husband and wife, isn¡¯t my younger sister still in the picture? Since she likes this brother-inw of hers so much that she is willing to take someone else¡¯s second-hand goods, then why shouldn¡¯t we help their romance have a happy ending? Besides, our engagement was only known to our own family members. We did not hold a press conference or anything to make it public, so we can just pretend that it never happened. It is so embarrassing to keep apologizing. How can I possibly get along with my future brother-inw then? However, if you are really afraid that someone might spread rumors, then why don¡¯t we do this instead?¡±


    Su Wanwan tilted her head as she gazed coldly at Xing Yuyun, stating clearly, ¡°Xing Yuyun, you could just say that I have a cleanliness disorder, and I felt you were dirty so I decided to dump you. How about that?¡±


    Huo Qinyu initially had an amicable expression on her face, but the more she heard Su Wanwan¡¯s words, the more she felt as though something was wrong. She could no longer control her expression at Su Wanwan¡¯s suggestion.


    Xing Yuyun was her son. Although he made a mistake that any man couldmit, getting ridiculed in public by a young girl who rejected him would be a p on her face!


    Su Yanyan could not help but say, ¡°Su Wanwan, don¡¯t go too far-¡±


    Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Yi grabbed her arm.


    Su Wanwan simply stared at Su Yanyan, the smugness on her face making Su Yanyan bite her lip hard.


    ¡°It is my fault.¡± Xing Yuyun suddenly spoke.


    He stood up and bowed deeply in front of everyone as he said, ¡°All of this is because of me. It¡¯s all my fault, and I am sorry.¡±


    Xing Yuyun seemed sincere, so Su Xueqin could only sigh as he said, ¡°Back then, the reason why I chose you as my future grandson-inw was not only because of your father, but because of your character. However, it now seems as though I read your character wrongly.¡±


    Huo Qinyu quickly tried to smooth things over. ¡°It is good enough that you know you were in the wrong. Yuyun, your engagement banquet with Yanyan will be held on the 20th. Remember to treat her well in the future-¡±


    ¡°There will be no engagement banquet.¡±


    As soon as Xing Yuyun said those words, the atmosphere in the living became tense.

 Chapter 26

    Chapter 26: Hypocritical and Unreasonable


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu were even more shocked.


    Even Jiang Yi who had remained calm the whole time was stunned. She nced at her daughter and saw that Su Yanyan looked dazed and pale. ¡°Yuyun, you should not say these things so casually. Yanyan, she-¡±


    ¡°Aunt,¡± Xing Yuyun interrupted her, ¡°I have already spoken to Yanyan about this. The reason I came here today is to make all these things clear to the elders.¡±


    ¡°Nonsense!¡± How could Su Xueqin possibly sit back and take this?! He pointed at Xing Yuyun and snarled, ¡°You brat! What do you take Yanyan for? What are you treating the Su family as? Isn¡¯t it bad enough that you hurt one of my granddaughters? Now you¡¯re thinking of backing out of this marriage too?!¡±


    Jiang Yi said gently, ¡°Yuyun, my daughter is still young. She is ignorant and does not know how to be considerate-¡±


    ¡°It has nothing to do with it,¡± Xing Yuyun cut Jiang Yi off again and continued coldly, ¡°I just feel that the both of us are notpatible.¡±


    ¡°Then who are youpatible with? Is it Su Wanwan?¡± Su Yanyan blurted out suddenly.


    Xing Yuyun didn¡¯t respond, an indifferent expression on his face. He did not even look at her.


    In fact, ever since he entered the Su family mansion today, he had not looked her in her eye.


    Su Yanyan¡¯s anger instantly ignited and she turned to Su Wanwan and screeched, ¡°It¡¯s your fault! This is all because of you! Do you really have to do this? You already know that Brother Yun does not like you but he does not want to hurt you because he feels guilty, so why are you still refusing to let him go? You said that you do not care about him but you are still secretly trying to hook up with him! Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s shameless?¡±


    ¡°Su Yanyan, isn¡¯t that ironic?¡± Su Wanwan¡¯s tone was cold as she mocked her. ¡°You were the one who robbed me of my fianc¨¦e. I was kind enough not to hold it against the both of you, but you still have the guts to insult me and y the victim? True enough ¨C a slut will always be hypocritical and unreasonable.¡±


    ¡°A slut? Could I possibly be sluttier than you? Do you dare admit that you were fooling aroundst night?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡± Su Wanwan could not be bothered to continue arguing with the likes of her. ¡°Your future father and mother-inw are here, so shouldn¡¯t you pay more attention to your behaviour?¡±


    To her, Su Yanyan was just like a wild dog who would bark at anyone it saw. She had initially been careful of her behaviour on ount of the elders, but now that she was getting dumped by Xing Yuyun, it seemed as though she could not hold it in anymore.


    Su Yanyan simply stood there, her body trembling in anger.


    Jiang Yi tried to pull her aside but Su Yanyan pushed her away. After that, Su Yanyan rushed towards the coffee table and flipped through the newspaper on the table.


    As everyone watched, she pointed at the newspaper on the table and sneered, ¡°Your indecent acts with a man have already appeared in the newspaper and everyone in Nanchang already knows about your scandal! Su Wanwan, the Su family¡¯s reputation has already beenpletely ruined by you!¡±


    ¡°Yanyan, what nonsense are you talking about?!¡± Su Xueqin bellowed.


    ¡°I am not talking nonsense! She went to a clubst night and was fooling around with a man! Everything has been photographed and it¡¯s in the newspaper! You can look at it yourself if you don¡¯t believe me!¡±


    Su Wanwan was the first person to walk over and pick up the newspaper.


    A line of bold red letters stood out: ¡®Inappropriate acts suspected to have urred at Nanchang¡¯s top entertainment outlet!¡¯


    When she looked down, there was a report interspersed with several pictures of a police check and the arrest of a suspect. One of the pictures showed Su Wanwan and a waiter standing inside an elevator.


    ¡°What does this prove?¡± Su Wanwan threw the newspaper back at Su Yanyan and scoffed, ¡°I went to the club to watch a movie with Weiyist night. We had a little too much to drink so we decided to book a VIP room upstairs to rest there for the night. You do not have any solid evidence but you are making assumptions based on a picture of me standing inside an elevator? There must be something wrong with your brain. You really wish that I had been involved in a scandal, right?¡±


    ¡°There can¡¯t be smoke without a fire! Why would anyone take a picture of you if you did not do anything wrong or indecent?¡± Su Yanyan continued stubbornly.


    Su Wanwan realized that she was getting angry, so she calmed herself down and repeated slowly, ¡°I was with Weiyi the whole night-¡±


    ¡°Mo Weiyi is your best friend, of course she will speak up for you!¡±


    The living room was extremely silent at this point. Nobody expected that things would turn out like this.


    Su Yuntang had a gloomy expression on his face.


    Their family was in chaos, and the Xing family was here to witness everything!


    He red at Su Wanwan, his face red. His lips were pressed together tightly, and he was shaking in anger.


    He should have fought harder with Su Xueqin from the very beginning. He should not have allowed this menace to stain the Su family!


    For the past twenty years, she had been a thorn in his side. Whenever he looked at her, he would be reminded of his past.


    He should have strangled her to death back then. Everything would have been fine now if he did.


    ¡°Sir,¡± Aunty Yang suddenly called out weakly, ¡°We have a guest.¡±


    Aunty Yang did not dare move. There was a tall man standing right behind her.

 Chapter 27

    Chapter 27: CEO Huo Makes an Appearance


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    The man was wearing a white shirt without a tie and ck suit pants. His shirt was unbuttoned at the cor and his sleeves were rolled up halfway, exposing an expensive branded watch on his wrist. His style of dressing was casual, but he exuded an aura of power and nobility.


    ¡°Ah Shen?¡± Huo Qinyu¡¯s voice suddenly rang out as she asked in confusion, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    As soon as he heard that name, Xing Yuyun swung around.


    To his displeasure, the man standing in the hallway really was Huo Jingshen. His eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists tightly.


    Huo Qinyu was very surprised. If she remembered correctly, Huo Jingshen had returned to China not too long ago. The Huo family had never been close to the Su family before this, so he could not possibly know anyone from the Su family, right?


    Could he be here for Xing Guozhi?


    However, Xing Guozhi also looked perplexed.


    Huo Jingshen had already taken off his shoes and was slowly walking into the living room. He nced at the newspaper on the table, and there was a brief sh of emotion in his eyes. However, as soon as he raised his head, he was back to his usual charming self.


    ¡°Hello, Grandpa Su.¡± He nodded as he greeted the old man in the wheelchair politely.


    Huo Qinyu helped make the introductions. ¡°Uncle, this is Ah Shen, my elder brother¡¯s son. He returned from Y Country not too long ago.¡±


    ¡°The eldest young master of the Huo family.¡± Su Xueqin nodded as he said, ¡°We have met in the hospital before.¡±


    Right after his operation, Old Mistress Huo had brought a few of her rtives to pay him a visit at the hospital. Huo Jingshen had been among them.


    Although Huo Jingshen did not talk muchpared to the others, he had left a deep impression on the old man.


    Huo Qinyu finally came to the conclusion that Huo Jingshen was here to visit Su Xueqin who had just been discharged from the hospital.


    She had no idea how wrong she was.


    ¡°Wanwan, did you lose something?¡± As soon as the words left Huo Jingshen¡¯s mouth, everyone but Xing Yuyun reacted as if they had just seen an alien.


    Su Wanwan was horrified. She did not expect this shameless man to actuallye all the way to her house! She hadn¡¯t even settled the score with him for the hospital incident, and yet he dared refer to her so intimately?


    He really was shameless!


    ¡°Wanwan?¡± Huo Jingshen called out again with a faint smile, eyes gleaming at her inability to speak.


    Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and red at him angrily, but refused to say anything.


    Su Xueqin could not help but ask, ¡°Young Master Huo, do you know my granddaughter?¡±


    Why hadn¡¯t he heard Wanwan mention him before?


    Huo Jingshen simply hummed slightly, seemingly distracted as he said, ¡°We yed until it was toote in the clubst night, and she identally left her cell phone with me.¡±


    Everyone was silent as they processed his statement.


    The club?


    yed?


    Toote?


    She had even left such an important belonging with him, so that could only mean that the rtionship between the both of them¡­


    Huo Jingshen raised his left hand under everyone¡¯s watchful gaze.


    There was a small pink cell phone lying in the palm of his hand.


    Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened. It really was her cell phone! She had bought that pink phone casing together with her friends.


    She walked over to him and reached out to take her cell phone.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as she held her cell phone, the man¡¯s fingers suddenly pressed down, enveloping her small hand and her phone.


    Su Wanwan felt the warmth of his hand, and memories of what happened between the both of them at the hospital flooded her mind.


    Her cheeks started to feel hot and she instantly ducked her head as she tried to pull her hand away.


    However, her attempts to free her hand were unsessful.


    Huo Jingshen looked like he was not using any strength at all to hold her hand, but she could not withdraw her hand at all.


    Compared to the flustered Su Wanwan, Huo Jingshen was calm andposed, his lips curved into an amused smile.


    It looked like a thousand-year-old fox watching a little fox struggling in its grasp, but the little fox could not escape no matter how hard it tried.


    ¡­


    Su Wanwan wanted to yell at him.


    Before she could use her other hand, Huo Jingshen finally let go.


    Su Wanwan was relieved and tried to press the buttons on her cell phone, only to realize that her cell phone battery had already died.


    ¡°Be more careful with your belongings in the future.¡± The man¡¯s deep voice sounded again. He was close, and his low murmur sounded very intimate.


    After that, Huo Jingshen reached out and stroked the top of her head gently twice.


    Damn it!


    The corner of Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly.


    Was this man treating her like a monkey?


    If it weren¡¯t for the Xing family members being here, and that he had just helped her out of an awkward situation, she would never have allowed him to act so presumptuously!


    She raised her head to meet his eyes, conveying all her rage in her icy re. He merely gazed back at her calmly, that infuriatingly serene smile on his face.


    However, in the eyes of outsiders, their interaction seemed more like a public disy of affection.


    Xing Yuyun¡¯s expression turned even more ghastly, and he could no longer sit still.

    Chapter 28: Scoundrel


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°So that is the case,¡± Jiang Yi remarked gently, ¡°Since Wanwan was with Young Master Huost night, it seems the photo was just a misunderstanding.¡±


    Jiang Yi then turned to Su Yanyan and said, ¡°Yanyan, look! Wanwan already has a new boyfriend, so how can she still be holding on to Yuyun? Don¡¯t throw tantrums for no reason, okay? You should try to get along well with Yuyun in the future, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°You were causing a scene!¡± Su Yuntang also took the opportunity to reprimand Su Yanyan.


    Su Yanyan could only avert her gaze bitterly, unable to argue.


    She had seen the article in the newspaper early that morning. She thought that she would finally have the opportunity to expose Su Wanwan¡¯s true colours, but things had taken an unexpected turn.


    Right after she caused such a huge scene, Huo Jingshen appeared and with a brief exnation, everything was suddenly her fault!


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. That¡¯s enough,¡± Su Xueqin interrupted them impatiently. He turned to Huo Jingshen and asked spectively, ¡°Young Master Huo, how long have you known Wanwan?¡±


    Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, and before she could say anything, Huo Jingshen had already replied, ¡°Three days.¡±


    Damn it, he was an absolute scoundrel!


    She had stayed out with him all night after knowing him for just three days? Who would believe that?


    ¡°Three days?¡± Sure enough, Su Xueqin frowned and asked, ¡°Wanwan, what exactly is going on?¡±


    Su Wanwan pursed her lips briefly, but eventually raised her head and smiled faintly as she said, ¡°Grandpa, does it really matter if it is three days or three years?¡±


    She got to know Xing Yuyun when she was seventeen. Back then, he had just returned to the country after studying abroad. He was extremely handsome and polite, and a decent young man in the eyes of all the elders. He was gentle and caring towards her even when she had gone through her strange cosy phase. He did not despise her at all for anything, but what had happened after that?


    At that time, in order to get her to agree to the engagement, Su Xueqin told her that this was herst chance to grab this good opportunity. He said that he watched Xing Yuyun growing up ever since he was a child and that he was a very reliable man¡­


    What a joke!


    Fortunately, she had been busy arguing with Su Yuntang, Su Yanyan, and Jiang Yi during that period of time and was not interested in rtionships at all. It would really have been terrible if the both of them were to fight for one man!


    Su Xueqin seemed to feel the same way, and he simply sighed and said, ¡°Alright then. If you really like Young Master Huo that much, then Grandpa will listen to you.¡±


    Su Wanwan had a strained smile on her face.


    ¡°Although the both of us have only known each other for three days,¡± Huo Jingshen added solemnly, ¡°It was love at first sight for me the moment I saw Wanwan. We are deeply in love with each other, and our only regret is that we did not meet each other sooner.¡±


    Su Wanwan gaped at Huo Jingshen, speechless.


    Love at first sight?


    Deeply in love with each other?


    Only regret is not meeting each other sooner?


    What nonsense was this guy talking about? Did he really have to be so engrossed in his acting?


    ¡°Don¡¯t you agree, Yuyun?¡±


    As soon as Huo Jingshen mentioned him, Huo Qinyu looked at her son and asked, ¡°Yuyun, did you know about this?¡±


    Xing Yuyun simply stared at Huo Jingshen coldly, an indifferent expression on his handsome face.


    His silence was undoubtedly a confirmation.


    Huo Qinyu was very confused right now. She initially thought that Su Wanwan was just a nobody, an illegitimate child that Su Xueqin had brought home out of obligation. Although she did not know who her biological mother was, Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi were already married at that time, so how could an illegitimate child born from a third party actually be of good character and personality?


    Compared to Su Wanwan, Su Yanyan was a demure and delicate youngdy who was known as the rightful daughter of the Su family. This year, Su Yanyan even got admitted into the best university in Nanchang. If the Xing family had to choose a daughter-inw from the Su family, Su Yanyan would naturally be the preferred candidate to be Xing Yuyun¡¯s wife.


    However, she never would have expected that Su Wanwan, the girl their family looked down on and did not want as their daughter-inw, would end up getting together with Huo Jingshen instead!


    If their rtionship really turned out well, wouldn¡¯t Su Wanwan end up bing her niece-inw? Before Huo Qinyu could think things over-


    ¡°That is the reason I am here today. I would like to ask for Wanwan¡¯s hand in marriage.¡±


    The cell phone that Su Wanwan had just gotten back from Huo Jingshen fell to the ground.


    As she was still dazed, Huo Jingshen picked up her cell phone as he asked teasingly, ¡°Wanwan, are you really so surprised?¡±


    Su Wanwan gritted her teeth as she snatched her cell phone back from him.


    Who wouldn¡¯t be surprised?!


    ¡°So soon?¡± Jiang Yi could not help but say, ¡°Wanwan has not even graduated from university yet. Furthermore, the both of you have only known each other for a few days.¡±


    She was really surprised. She initially thought that the young master of the Huo family was just fooling around with Su Wanwan and would simply dump her after he got bored, but why was he suddenly bringing up marriage now?


    If Su Wanwan married into the Huo family, then wouldn¡¯t she be¡­


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you get married to Yuntang before you graduated from university too?¡± Su Xueqin pointed out in support of his granddaughter, but Jiang Yi instantly felt very embarrassed.


    She lowered her head, not daring toment anymore on the matter.


    Su Yuntang did not express his opinion at all.


    In fact, as long as Su Wanwan disappearedpletely from his sight and would never bother him again, he did not care if she married a homeless person or a beggar.


    ¡°Wanwan.¡± Su Xueqin looked at his granddaughter and said sincerely, ¡°Grandpa will listen to your decision on whether you want to get married or not. If you really want to get married, then Grandpa will prepare a dowry for you and make sure that you can marry into the Huo family in a splendid manner. However, Grandpa wants to remind you again that marriage will affect your happiness, so consider this carefully to avoid making the same mistake again!¡±


    Su Wanwan did not know whether to cry orugh, because her Grandpa seemed to be mocking the others while he offered such heartfelt advice.


    After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan finally said, ¡°Grandpa, I don¡¯t-¡±


    ¡°Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!¡± A maid¡¯s voice interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.


    Su Yuntang said unhappily, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that we have guests? Why are you making such amotion?¡±


    It was a new maid who had just ran in, looking terrified as she whimpered, ¡°Sir, there¡¯s arge group of reporters outside. I could not stop them¡­¡±

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Su Yuntang frowned.


    ¡°I heard them saying something about the police and a club¡­¡± The maid answered hesitantly.


    Jiang Yi turned to Su Wanwan and asked, ¡°Could it be because of the incident that was reported in the newspaper?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Su Wanwan retorted instantly, ¡°It has only been three days since I came back to China, and it was just a photo. Who could have possibly known that I¡¯m Deputy Director Su¡¯s daughter?¡±


    The Deputy Director Su in question red at Su Wanwan.


    ¡°Hurry up and chase all those reporters away!¡± Su Xueqin said impatiently. After such a long and stressful day, he was feeling exhausted since he had only just recovered.


    Jiang Yi quickly called for a maid to push the old man back to his room so that he could rest.


    The living room was silent, and they could hear the noise outside the house getting louder and louder.


    Very soon, the maid returned, looking miserable. ¡°What should I do? The reporters refuse to leave!¡±


    Su Yuntang felt a headacheing on.


    The director of the Radio and Television Administration was going to retire at the end of the year, so there was a high possibility that he would get promoted since he was currently the deputy director. However, if a scandal about his daughter fooling around with a man emerged at this juncture, even if it was not true, it would certainly affect his image and he might not get that promotion.


    After thinking about it, Su Yuntang fixed his gaze on Huo Jingshen and said, ¡°Young Master Huo, you are the heir of the Huo family. Since this matter concerns Wanwan¡¯s reputation, and since you are talking about marriage, I hope that you will be able to rify this matter to the reporters on our behalf.¡±


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    Su Yuntang¡¯s request was actuallypletely reasonable since the whole issue was just a misunderstanding, and it would be convincing if Huo Jingshen himself were to rify it in person.


    However, Huo Jingshen was clearly refusing to agree to Su Yuntang¡¯s request.


    Instead, he tilted his head slightly to look at Su Wanwan, giving everyone there the feeling that he was a boyfriend seeking his girlfriend¡¯s opinion.


    Su Wanwan, however, did not have such a romantic notion. She simply stared at Su Yuntang coldly, her tone mocking as she sneered, ¡°So it seems that the Su family actually has to depend on an outsider to rify the truth and avoid tarnishing their name.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you staying out all night and getting photographed going to such ces, would this issue even exist?¡± Su Yuntang replied calmly, ¡°If you had paid more attention to your own identity, you would not have gotten involved in this kind of scandal and embarrassed me!¡±


    Su Wanwan burst outughing. For the sake of his own so-called image and reputation, her father would rather drag an outsider in to exin the situation instead of exining things on behalf of his own daughter.


    It was really ridiculous.


    She shouldn¡¯t have cooperated with Huo Jingshen to put on such an borate act just now. She should have just waited for the reporters toe and dere that everything published in the newspaper was true!


    Wouldn¡¯t her father have been enraged then?


    ¡°You can stillugh at a time like this?¡± Su Yuntang roared. He despised Su Wanwan¡¯s carefree attitude the most. It was as though she could not be bothered about anyone other than Su Xueqin!


    Su Yuntang finally snarled, ¡°I should not have allowed an illegitimate child like you to live back then! I want you to go back to M Country tomorrow! Don¡¯t evere back here again!¡±


    Su Wanwan looked at him, her pent-up anger and resentment overwhelming her. She raised her head and sighed, saying, ¡°What can you do if I don¡¯t want to go back to M Country? Also, it seems like an illegitimate child like me is going to marry a better manpared to your precious daughter!¡±


    Whether it was appearance, wealth, or background, Xing Yuyun could not possiblypare to Huo Jingshen.


    Under jealous, shocked, and resentful gazes, Su Wanwan reached out and grabbed Huo Jingshen¡¯s arm. She smiled at him brightly as she said determinedly, ¡°I ept your proposal. Let¡¯s get married!¡±


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s lips curved into a triumphant smile. ¡°Alright.¡±

    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Dozens of reporters were standing under the hot sun outside the gate of the Su family vi, holding cameras, microphones, cell phones, and voice recorders in their hands. They were all staring intently at the courtyard, worried they might miss out on the big news.


    Suddenly, someone eximed, ¡°Huo Jingshen is out!¡±


    Su Wanwan looked up as arge group of reporters rushed past the servants, flocking into the courtyard like sheep. They quickly surrounded the both of them, questioning them hurriedly:


    ¡°CEO Huo, what is your rtionship with this youngdy?¡±


    ¡°You booked a private room in Guidist night. Is this youngdy the fianc¨¦e you were talking about?¡±


    ¡°Are the both of you really engaged?¡±


    ¡°When will the wedding be held?¡±


    Fianc¨¦e? Weren¡¯t they here to ask her about the photo in the newspaper?


    Su Wanwan was a little confused.


    However, the camera shes were so dazzling that she couldn¡¯t think, and just instinctively raised her hand to cover her face.


    However, before her hand could reach her face, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.


    Su Wanwan could not see what Huo Jingshen did but the ruckus quietened instantly.


    ¡°My apologies,¡± Su Wanwan heard his deep voice rumble, ¡°My fianc¨¦e is a little shy. I will be answering any questions that you have on our behalf.¡±


    A reporter quickly asked the first question: ¡°CEO Huo, is this youngdy your fianc¨¦e?¡±


    Huo Jingshen did not reply.


    The reporter continued: ¡°CEO Huo, is it confirmed that the both of you are going to get married?¡±


    Huo Jingshen did not reply to that question either.


    The reporter did not give up. ¡°CEO Huo, you have just been appointed as the CEO of Huo Yuan Real Estate Development, so does Chairman Huo know that you are about to get married?¡±


    Just when Su Wanwan thought that he wouldn¡¯t answer, Huo Jingshen replied casually, ¡°Do you think that it is possible that my elders would not know that I am about to get married soon?¡±


    Su Wanwan was speechless.


    His one statement had answered all of their questions.


    The reporters were satisfied, and went on to congratte them. ¡°Congrattions, CEO Huo!¡±


    ¡°CEO Huo, you are so fortunate!¡±


    ¡°I hope the both of you will have a happy marriage and grow old together!¡±


    The sound of cameras clicking went on for ages.


    Aizen had posted gossip on an entertainment forumst night, saying that he had secretly photographed the heir of Huo Yuan having a tryst at Guidi with his mysterious fianc¨¦e.


    The reporters and journalists immediately became very interested in the news. They were all concerned about Huo Jingshen¡¯s current status considering the way the Huo family had handled matters in the past. The Huo family never epted interviews so easily, and even if they had been secretly photographed, they would never allow anything to be published.


    It was a pleasant surprise when they received a tip from a phone call saying that CEO Huo would be here to negotiate his marriage with his fianc¨¦e, and they would be allowed to interview the couple for five minutes.


    It seemed as though the heir of the Huo family was not only handsome and noble, but he was also very down-to-earth. He was really an outstanding young man!


    Their five minutes ended very quickly and Huo Jingshen turned to leave with his fianc¨¦e in his arms.


    Although the reporters voluntarily made way for them to leave, they continued questioning them. ¡°CEO Huo, can you allow us to take a picture of your fianc¨¦e?¡±


    ¡°CEO Huo, when is your wedding date?¡±


    ¡°CEO Huo¡­¡±


    It wasn¡¯t until they had gotten into the car and closed the door behind them that the whole world seemed to quiet down.


    Su Wanwan exhaled heavily. She really would not have expected that she would end up bing the protagonist of tabloid news one day.


    Huo Jingshen quickly drove the car forward as they exited the gate of the residence. Su Wanwan suddenly shouted, ¡°Stop the car! Stop the car!¡±


    Huo Jingshen did not stop the car and simply kept driving forward. He raised a brow and nced at the youngdy beside him who looked a bit stunned. ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Su Wanwan opened her mouth but could not say anything. She was only now realizing what she had done. She had actually agreed to get married to this man on impulse, and she had only met him a few times!


    It was true that she had done many deviant things before she turned eighteen, but getting married like this? Su Wanwan felt like she was dreaming.


    At that moment, a cell phone started ringing. Huo Jingshen nced at his phone screen briefly before answering the call.


    ¡°Damn it! You finally answered your phone!¡± It was Nangong Ci.


    Huo Jingshen raised his brows as he asked, ¡°Were you the one who called the reporters?¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me!¡±


    ¡°Hah!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m serious, it was second brother! I am just a doctor so how could I possibly know so many gossip reporters?¡± Nangong Ci protested indignantly, ¡°I was so anxious just now! I made more than a dozen calls to you, and you did not even reply to my WeChat messages! Didn¡¯t I teach you how to reply to your WeChat messages?¡±


    ¡°I did not bring my cell phone with me.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Nangong Ci smiled happily and said, ¡°In that case, everything is settled, right?¡±


    Huo Jingshen was toozy to continue talking to him.


    ¡°This is just too perfect! Brother, remember to take your marriage certificate with you when you go to the United Kingdom! Fu Xihan cannot possibly ask you to get a divorce, right? As for Dong Manjiao, it is about time for her to give up. This is really equivalent to killing two birds with one stone! Sure enough, an older man has much more skills and experience!¡±


    Huo Jingshen simply ended the call.


    ***


    Guidi, in a private room on the sixth floor.


    Nangong Ci was not annoyed when the phone call was disconnected. Instead, he simply smiled as he pointed at two men with him and said arrogantly, ¡°Look, Brother has already found a wife for himself. Aren¡¯t the both of you going to hurry up too? How old are the both of you now, huh?¡±


    Chu Xiuhuang red at Nangong Ci and growled, ¡°You¡¯re really asking for trouble, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    The fourth brother, Lu Chenyu, simply said, ¡°You are older than me.¡±


    Nangong Ci frowned sulkily.


    ***


    Huo Jingshen was making a phone call inside the Mercedes-Benz, and Su Wanwan was secretly observing her future husband.


    It was obvious that this man paid a lot of attention to his appearance.


    His short hair was delicately trimmed, and he had thick brows and dark eyes under deep double eyelids and long eyshes. His nose bridge was very straight and high, making him look somewhat arrogant. His jawline was sharp and angr, and his lips were thin. Even his side profile was attractive. Though he appeared cold and indifferent, he was still very charming and handsome.


    Su Wanwan had to admit that Huo Jingshen was an incredibly attractive man. It felt as though she had picked up a rare treasure.


    ¡°So are you satisfied with your husband¡¯s face?¡±


    Su Wanwan choked on air.


    Huo Jingshen reached out and patted her shoulder. ¡°There is no hurry.¡±


    His tone was so tender and gentle that Su Wanwan started to think that he was actually a very considerate person.


    ¡°You will have plenty of time to stare at me in the future.¡±


    ¡­ She was clearly wrong.


    Su Wanwan resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him as she turned to look out the window. ¡°Where are we going?¡±


    ¡°We are going back to the Huo family mansion.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Su Wanwan whipped around, eyes wide in shock.


    Was he taking her back to meet her inws so soon?!


    Huo Jingshen could not help butugh as he asked teasingly, ¡°Oh? Wanwan is shy?¡±


    ¡°Why would I be shy?!¡±


    ¡°My grandpa and grandma are both very nice.¡± It seemed as though Huo Jingshen was trying tofort her when he added, ¡°They want me to get married soon.¡±


    Su Wanwan could not help but ask, ¡°How old are you now?¡±


    ¡°Thirty.¡±


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Su Wanwan could not help blurting out, ¡°You are so old!¡±


    He was an old man who was already thirty! He was ten years older than her!


    ¡°Well, I am a little older,¡± Huo Jingshen replied cheerfully, ¡°But I will help you get used to it soon enough.¡±


    Su Wanwan swallowed uncertainly.


    Why did it feel as though something was wrong with that sentence?


    It was truly very strange.

 Chapter 31

    Chapter 31: Meet the Grandparents


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    The living room of the Huo family mansion.


    Old Mistress Huo put down the phone and said, ¡°Wenxiu, we can have dinner now.¡±


    ¡°Aunt, it¡¯s still early. Let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± It was a beautiful middle-aged woman who had spoken.


    Her daughter, Xiang Ranxin, was sitting next to her. She was beautiful and demure, and was wearing a white dress that made her look even more delicate.


    Old Mistress Huo smiled as she waved her hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I already asked him in the morning and he said that he will only be back in the afternoon. If that is the case, then we had better eat first. When Ah Shenes hometer, he and Ranxin can have a good chat.¡±


    As soon as she heard those words, Xiang Ranxin felt her cheeks getting warm and she hurriedly lowered her head.


    Old Mistress Huo was very satisfied when she saw Xiang Ranxin getting shy and flustered. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.


    The eldest youngdy of the Xiang family was twenty five years old this year. Not only was she pretty and elegant, she had a good disposition.


    The two families hade up with a private arrangement for her to get married to the second young master of the Huo family, Huo Nuanyang.


    However, ever since he got promoted in the X team, Huo Nuanyang rarely came back home. He would be absent all the time and only came home several times a year, so the youngsters had no chance to meet each other at all.


    On the contrary, after he returned to China, Huo Jingshen could often be seen walking in and out of thepound. Therefore, Mrs. Xiang took a fancy to him instead.


    Old Mistress Huo wasn¡¯t bothered about whether it was Huo Jingshen or Huo Nuanyang as both of them were her own biological grandsons, after all. Moreover, Huo Jingshen was two years older than Huo Nuanyang, so Old Mistress Huo felt that it would be a good thing if Xiang Ranxin could be with Huo Jingshen instead.


    She had called Huo Jingshen early in the morning and asked him if he had any intention of getting married soon. To her surprise, Huo Jingshen not only said that he wanted to get married, but he also told her that it would be better if he could get married soon. He had even asked her to pick an auspicious date for him to get married. When Old Mistress Huo heard that, she was overjoyed and immediately contacted Mrs. Xiang to arrange the blind date today.


    Everyone moved into the dining room, chatting andughing.


    As soon as they sat down, one of the maids ran over. ¡°Old Master Huo, Old Mistress Huo, the eldest young master is back.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence!¡± Old Mistress Huo stood up quickly, and headed for the living room. As soon as she walked in, she froze at the scene before her.


    Huo Jingshen was standing in the hallway, but with a young girl beside him!


    She was quite beautiful and looked to be around eighteen to neen years old, with fair skin that made her look like a porcin doll.


    ¡°Ah Shen, who is this?¡±


    Huo Jingshen casually replied, ¡°My wife.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Old Mistress Huo shrieked.


    The expressions of the people who had followed her to the living room also changed instantly.


    Su Wanwan was quiet as she looked at them uncertainly.


    Huo Jingshen nced at everyone briefly, a calm look on his face as he murmured, ¡°Greet them.¡±


    Su Wanwan blinked, slightly dazed.


    Greet them?


    It was only when Huo Jingshen squeezed her hand gently that she finally regained her senses. She quickly opened her mouth and said, ¡°Hello, Grandpa! Hello, Grandma!¡±


    After that, she looked at the well-dressed mother and daughter pair. After thinking about it for a moment, she said, ¡°Hello, aunt! Hello, elder sister!¡±


    It was fine if she greeted them like that, right?


    Unexpectedly, the expression on Mrs. Xiang¡¯s face turned even uglier.


    Xiang Ranxin looked upset and embarrassed. Compared to this young and lively girl, her twenty-five years of age felt so old.


    Old Master Huo and Old Mistress Huo¡¯s expressions were not any better.


    Su Wanwan felt very nervous as she looked at Huo Jingshen.


    Had she greeted them wrongly?


    Huo Jingshen was also looking at them as he asked Su Wanwan, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±


    ¡°I am not hungry.¡± As soon as Su Wanwan said that, her stomach growled loudly. As no one was speaking at the time, the sound of her stomach rumbling resounded through the living room.


    The corners of Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly as her cheeks burned. Damn it, did her stomach have to embarrass her like this?! She had wanted to leave a good impression on her elders since this was her first time here!


    Huo Jingshen chuckled mirthfully, then called out to a maid who was standing nearby: ¡°Aunt Xiu, is lunch ready?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s ready, eldest young master.¡± The maid hesitated briefly, then hurriedly went to bring the dishes out. The atmosphere was strange so it was best if she did not stay for too long.


    Huo Jingshen did not notice the odd atmosphere and walked into the living room, holding Su Wanwan¡¯s hand tightly.


    The four people standing on the other end were all extremely silent.


    After a while, Mrs. Xiang opened her mouth and said stiffly, ¡°I am sorry, but I suddenly recall that we have something to settle at home, so Ranxin and I will go back first.¡±


    Old Mistress Huo was also very embarrassed and quickly said, ¡°Okay, then. I will see the both of you off.¡±


    ¡°Ah, there¡¯s no need-¡±


    ¡°No, I have to. I have to¡­¡±


    Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. Turns out that she had greeted them wrongly. This mother and daughter pair were not Huo Jingshen¡¯s rtives, but their guests.


    Before she could think about it, Old Master Huo said, ¡°Ah Shen.¡±


    Huo Jingshen turned to his grandfather.


    Old Master Huo had a serious look on his face as he said sternly, ¡°Come with me to the study room for a moment.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Grandpa,¡± Huo Jingshen replied respectfully, then whispered to Su Wanwan, ¡°Wait here for me, I will be right back.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan nodded obediently, the epitome of a gentle and polite youngdy.


    Old Master Huo nced at her from the corner of his eye, then quickly turned around to leave.


    As soon as Huo Jingshen followed the old man into the study room and closed the door behind him, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief.


    She initially thought that the Huo family were from new money, who had just be rich after starting their own business. They were only slightly richer and more powerfulpared to the Xing family after all. Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen¡¯s family background was actually a lot moreplicated, and even his house looked like a mansion that was usually only seen on television.


    When she had entered the door earlier, the guards who were standing there made her feel as though she was passing through a battlefield.


    ¡°Third young master.¡±


    There was a movement at the entrance again. Was it another member of the Huo family?


    Su Wanwan immediately sat upright, expression serious.


    She had to leave a good impression this time!


    She could hear footstepsing nearer and nearer, and then-


    ¡°Su Wanwan!¡±

    Su Wanwan could not help but frown when she saw the man in sunsses standing in front of her.


    He seemed to be in his early twenties and was wearing a floral shirt and carrying a pouch. There was a bandage on his head and his middle-length hair made him look like a gangster that could often be seen out on the streets.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Su Wanwan asked bluntly. She really had no idea who this man was.


    Huo Zexi almost fainted.


    This woman had smashed a bottle against his head, got him grounded and lectured by Huo Yuanshan for several days, and she was actually asking him who he was?!


    He pointed at her and snarled, ¡°What are you doing in my house? Tell me!¡±


    Su Wanwan blinked and asked slowly, ¡°This is your house?¡±


    ¡°Stop pretending!¡± Huo Zexi whipped off his sunsses furiously. ¡°Did youe all the way here toin to my grandfather?¡±


    Grandfather?


    Su Wanwan finally got a rough idea of what was going on. Was this brat Huo Jingshen¡¯s younger brother?


    Said younger brother was still barking at her: ¡°I have not yet settled the score with you for the bar incident, you violent woman! If you dare tell my grandfather that I drugged you that time, I¡­ I¡¯ll kill you!¡±


    ¡°Drugged me?¡± Su Wanwan frowned and asked sharply, ¡°When did you drug me?¡±


    Huo Zexi instantly shut his mouth. She did not know that he drugged her? Damn, he shouldn¡¯t have said anything! Was it toote to pretend that nothing had happened?


    ¡°Zexi!¡± Old Mistress Huo¡¯s voice suddenly rang out.


    Huo Zexi who had been yelling at Su Wanwan earlier suddenly became a polite and decent boy in front of Old Mistress Huo. ¡°Grandma.¡±


    Old Mistress Huo walked into the living room, raised her hand and whacked his arm. ¡°You start yelling and shouting as soon as youe home! I can hear your voice from outside, you hooligan! Can¡¯t you see that we have a guest?¡±


    Huo Zexi stared at Su Wanwan nkly. ¡®Guest?¡¯


    ¡°Well, she is not exactly a guest either. She will be your sister-inw soon,¡± Old Mistress Huo continued as she peered at Su Wanwan.


    ¡°What the hell?!¡± Huo Zexi yelped in disbelief.


    ¡°She is your elder brother¡¯s girlfriend and they are about to get married soon,¡± Old Mistress Huo replied patiently. After that, she went over to Su Wanwan to take a closer look at her.


    The youngdy was really gorgeous. She had a small oval face, fair skin, and delicate features. She was stunning, with the kind of beauty that would capture anyone¡¯s attention at first nce.


    She had beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and a tiny peach blossom birth mark. Even without makeup, she had charming features and an alluring smile.


    Old Mistress Huo felt relieved after studying her from head to toe.


    It did not matter if she could not get the mayor¡¯s daughter as her granddaughter-inw, as long as Ah Shen liked this girl and the both of them were happy together, it was more than enough.


    ¡°Grandma!¡± Huo Zexi rushed to his grandmother and protested, ¡°This woman is evil! She deliberately tried to seduce me in the bar! You cannot allow her to marry my big brother!¡±


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±


    ¡°I am not talking nonsense! She is the one who gave me the wound on my head!¡±


    Old Mistress Huo frowned doubtfully. Huo Zexi was a strong young man who was one hundred and eighty centimetres tall, while Su Wanwan was a delicate young girl. How could she possibly have beaten him up?


    Su Wanwan suddenly came to a realization. He was the flirt who tried to get cozy with her at the bar the other night!


    She had drank a lot that night and had been in a very bad mood. Mo Weiyi told her that whenever she was drunk, she would turn into apletely different person with so much strength and destructive power that even a man would not be able to subdue her.


    Just as she was wondering how to exin herself¡­


    ¡°Do you think that I do not know you?¡± Old Mistress Huo snorted derisively and scoffed, ¡°You must have been infatuated when you saw a beautiful girl like her, and tried to take advantage of her. You clearly failed to do so and got beaten up in the end. You¡¯re just lucky she did not hit you there!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Su Wanwan quickly ducked her head, unable to hold back herughter.


    Huo Zexi red at her viciously, then turned to his grandmother again and whined, ¡°Grandma, I really did not do anything, it was Su Wanwan who tried to seduce me first! Now, she is even trying to seduce my brother! There is something suspicious about her!¡±


    ¡°Su Wanwan?¡± Old Mistress Huo smiled warmly, holding Su Wanwan¡¯s hands as she said happily, ¡°You are so beautiful and you also have such a lovely name. Grandma likes you.¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s jaw dropped.


    After praising Su Wanwan, Old Mistress Huo turned to Huo Zexi, her eyes narrowing as she said disapprovingly, ¡°Zexi, stop fooling around. Your elder brother is already thirty this year, and we are so lucky that he found such a beautiful girl. If you scare my granddaughter-inw away, I will not spare you!¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s eyes widened pitifully. ¡°Grandma, am I not your biological grandson too?¡±


    ¡°If you weren¡¯t, I would be so happy that I could eat an extra two bowls of rice!¡± Old Mistress Huo retorted.


    Huo Zexi was about toin again when a ruckus from the study room stopped him.


    ***


    ¡°This is ridiculous!¡± Papers, ink, and pens were scattered all over the study room. Old Master Huo was standing behind the desk, panting heavily, his eyes filled with anger.


    Compared to his grandfather¡¯s violent rage, Huo Jingshen remainedposed. He simply started picking up the things on the ground and cing them back on the table again.


    His tone was light as he said, ¡°Grandpa, take care of your body and health. The doctor said that it is best for patients with high blood pressure to stay happy and positive.¡±


    Old Master Huo turned around and calmed himself down before saying, ¡°If you do not like the mayor¡¯s daughter and do not want to get involved in politics, that is fine with me. I will ask Wanying to help you look for another youngdy with a clean and decent family background. However, Su Wanwan will not do! Do you know that the Su family never publicly acknowledged the existence of that girl before? No one even knows who her biological mother is, and it is because we should not wash our dirty linens in public! If you decide to marry her and her mother suddenly makes an appearance, then you will not only be embarrassing me, but you will also be bringing shame and disgrace to the entire Huo family!¡±


    ¡°Grandpa, was this how you persuaded my father back then too?¡±


    That single sentence from Huo Jingshen made Old Master Huo freeze.


    He was already seventy and had lived such a long life, but what he regretted the most was having a disagreement with his beloved eldest son over his marriage.


    Father and son became enemies because of that very reason. Right after that, Huo Zecheng did not hesitate to give up his life here, and took his wife and son away with him to settle down in Y Country.


    A few years ago, Huo Zecheng passed away in a foreignnd, and father and son did not even get to see each other for thest time.


    ¡°After my mother passed away, my father¡¯s mind became somewhat unhinged. Whenever I went home, he would always think that I was my mother. Sometimes, he would even think that Jinghua was my mother.¡± Huo Jingshen was impassive as he spoke, as though it had nothing to do with him at all.


    ¡°One day, Jinghua was filming abroad, and I was discussing business with someone outside. The maid did not pay attention to my father for just a few seconds and he ran out of the house and identally fell from the tenth floor of the mall. The mall was newly built and every floor was filled with ss-¡±


    ¡°Stop talking!¡± The old man snapped suddenly.


    Huo Jingshen did not continue speaking. The study room was silent.

    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Old Mistress Huo knocked on the door a few times then called out, ¡°Old Master Huo, I will give you another five minutes. After you are done talking, bring Ah Shen out with you for lunch.¡±


    When the old man turned around again, he seemed to have calmed down. ¡°How old is this Su Wanwan then?¡±


    ¡°She just celebrated her twentieth birthday today.¡±


    Old Master Huo nearly lost his temper again.


    Huo Jingshen was already thirty but he was getting into a rtionship with a twenty-year-old girl? He really was just like his father ¨C a sucker for beautiful women!


    ¡°She might only be twenty,¡± Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, ¡°but she is a very sensible girl.¡±


    Old Master Huo just huffed and said, ¡°Make sure that Qinyu teaches her well in the future. Since she is going to be a daughter-inw of the Huo family, she will have to understand the rules of our family too.¡±


    Huo Jingshen remained quiet.


    ¡°Besides, you don¡¯t have to get married so soon,¡± Old Master Huo said quickly, ¡°She is still very young, and you have only just returned to China. You have not established a firm foothold in the group yet, and as a man, your career should always be your top priority. You should put your rtionship aside first. The both of you can continue dating and get to know each other better-¡±


    ¡°I am afraid that is impossible.¡±


    Old Master Huo gritted his teeth. This grandson of his was really testing his patience!


    Huo Jingshen exined, ¡°Reporters came to the Su family mansion to interview us just now. I believe everyone in Nanchang has probably heard of my uing marriage at this point.¡±


    Old Master Huo sighed deeply.


    ***


    In the dining room.


    The Huo family had arge round Chinese table in their dining room. Old Mistress Huo pulled Su Wanwan to the seat beside her, and Huo Zexi sat opposite her so he could re at her menacingly.


    Su Wanwan felt that Huo Jingshen¡¯s third brother was really quite childish.


    By the time the maid finished serving the dishes, Old Master Huo and Huo Jingshen had finished their discussion and were entering the dining room.


    Huo Jingshen sat down beside Su Wanwan, and Old Master Huo also took his seat.


    ¡°Since everyone is here, we can start eating,¡± Old Mistress Huo dered, and everyone began eating.


    It waspletely silent except for the sound of cutlery.


    Su Wanwan lowered her head, about to pick up rice with her chopsticks.


    ¡°Wanwan, try the fish soup, it¡¯s good for women,¡± Old Mistress Huo said brightly as she ced the fish soup in front of Su Wanwan.


    ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Su Wanwan put down her chopsticks and picked up her spoon instead.


    ¡°Try the sweet and sour pork ribs too, it is Yunxiu¡¯s specialty.¡± Old Mistress Huo turned to Huo Jingshen and ordered, ¡°Ah Shen, take the dish for your wife.¡±


    Huo Jingshen stood up and walked over to the other side of the table, casually picking up the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs that was in front of Huo Zexi.


    Huo Zexi instantly protested, ¡°Brother, I have not eaten that yet!¡±


    ¡°Respect your seniors.¡± Huo Jingshen did not even look at him as he said, ¡°You can eat it after your sister-inw has had some.¡±


    How could Huo Zexi possibly tolerate this injustice? He howled, ¡°You are too much! Grandma, look what he-¡±


    Old Master Huo mmed his chopsticks down on the table angrily and growled, ¡°You can get lost if you do not want to eat!¡±


    Huo Zexi immediately kept quiet and ducked his head, not daring to say anything else.


    Su Wanwan was a bit unnerved but Old Mistress Huo was smiling widely as she urged, ¡°Wanwan, try the pork ribs!¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    They finally finished eating in peace.


    Though Huo Zexi was annoying and Old Master Huo was strict, Old Mistress Huo was very pleasant. She was not like the shrewd and evil wealthy olddies that were usually seen in television dramas. She was so sweet and nice to Su Wanwan that she felt like the old woman was overly favoring her.


    After returning to the living room, Huo Jingshen took his car keys and said, ¡°We have something on, so we¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only two in the afternoon, isn¡¯t your flight at night? Where are you going?¡± Old Mistress Huo asked unhappily. She didn¡¯t even have time to talk to her grandson and new granddaughter-inw.


    Huo Jingshen replied smugly, ¡°My wife and I are going to get our marriage certificate.¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened.


    ***


    In the Su family vi.


    A soft female voice sounded from outside the bathroom on the first floor: ¡°Brother Yun, I used you wrongly. I really did not know that my sister was in a rtionship with your cousin brother. I won¡¯t lose my temper anymore, so can you forgive me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not the one you should be apologizing to.¡±


    ¡°I know. I used my sister wrongly and I should not have exposed the incident in the newspaper earlier. I will apologize to her the moment I see her,¡± Su Yanyan murmured, ¡°Brother Yun, I will obey you and listen to everything you say in the future. We-¡±


    ¡°I will personally inform my grandfather and grandmother tomorrow that we have called off our engagement,¡± Xing Yuyun said indifferently and opened the door to leave.


    Su Yanyan was stunned and quickly went after him.


    As soon as she went outside, Jiang Yi stopped her and said, ¡°Yanyan, calm down.¡±


    ¡°Mom, I already apologized to Brother Yun, so why is he still insisting that he wants to call off our engagement? We already sent out the invitation cards to all of our rtives and friends. If they find out that Brother Yun called off our engagement, I will be theughing stock of Nanchang!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, don¡¯t make a scene,¡± Jiang Yi lowered her voice and said, ¡°I have already spoken to Aunt Huo. She will try to persuade Yuyun, so don¡¯t worry-¡±


    ¡°But he said that he is going to tell Grandpa Xing and Grandma Xing!¡± Su Yanyan interrupted her mother, sobbing hysterically.


    She did not take it seriously when Xing Yuyun lost his temper before, but if he really brought this up to the elder generation of the Xing family, there would be no room for negotiation anymore.


    Jiang Yi also realized the seriousness of the situation at this point.


    She was about to speak when a maid suddenly said, ¡°Madam, someone is looking for Sir.¡±


    The study room door opened and Su Yuntang looked at the person standing outside. He frowned and asked, ¡°You are¡­?¡±


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Su. My name is Ji Jie, and I am CEO Huo¡¯s assistant.¡± Ji Jie took out his business card and passed it to Su Yuntang. ¡°CEO Huo asked me toe here to pick up Miss Su¡¯s personal belongings.¡±


    As soon as he heard that, Su Yuntang immediately turned to the maid. ¡°Go up and tidy up that bastard¡¯s belongings so that he can take them away.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Okay, Sir.¡±


    ¡°I am sorry, Mr. Su,¡± Ji Jie added politely, ¡°I also require the household registration book. CEO Huo said that he needs it to obtain their marriage certificate.¡±


    Su Yuntang immediately told the maid, ¡°Go and get the household registration book too.¡±


    Su Yanyan¡¯s expression changed as she asked hesitantly, ¡°Mom, Su Wanwan, she¡­ is she really going to marry into the Huo family?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything,¡± Jiang Yi murmured, giving Su Yanyan a warning nce. After all, there was an outsider around.


    Su Yanyan bit her lip unhappily. She had nned to steal Xing Yuyun away from Su Wanwan so that she would be ridiculed by everyone for getting dumped, but now¡­


    How did she end up being the one getting dumped instead?


    To top it all off, Su Wanwan was going to marry into the Huo family!


    No, she could not allow this to happen!

 Chapter 34

    Chapter 34: Overly Enthusiastic Assistant


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    At a Civil Affairs Bureau office in Nanchang.


    Su Wanwan was sitting on a bench in the hall, swinging her legs and looking bored. She nced at the man who was standing outside, talking on his phone.


    He had one hand in the pocket of his suit pants and was holding his cell phone with the other, and the muscles in his raised arm were obvious. His shirt was pristine, as though it had been soaked in bleach, and his suit pants were smooth. His dark eyes were focused, and his expression calm.


    Once again, Su Wanwan found herself admiring his good looks and side profile. Compared to the people around them, Huo Jingshen looked like a mature and shrewd businessman. However, this same man was actually getting married to her after only knowing her for three days!


    ¡°Mrs. Huo¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Huo¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ Miss Su?¡±


    Su Wanwan finally raised her head. ¡°You called me?¡±


    The staff looked nervous. Did CEO Huo¡¯s wife have hearing problems?


    ¡°Miss Su, please give me CEO Huo and your certification documents.¡±


    Su Wanwan toyed with the ends of her hair as she asked, ¡°What documents? I did not bring anything.¡±


    The staff was dumbfounded for a moment.


    Didn¡¯t they say that they wanted to jump the queue to register their marriage? Why didn¡¯t they bring their documents with them then?


    ¡°Wait for a while, the documents arrive shortly.¡± Huo Jingshen¡¯s voice sounded from nearby.


    ¡°Okay, CEO Huo.¡± The staff walked away quickly.


    Huo Jingshen walked over and stood in front of Su Wanwan. His eyes darkened briefly when he nced at her fair legs, then he met her gaze and said, ¡°I will be flying to Y Country at six in the evening.¡±


    ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s great!¡± Su Wanwan eximed, and Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes at her.


    ¡°Does the thought of me leaving make you happy?¡±


    Su Wanwan coughed awkwardly and lowered her head.


    It¡¯s not that she was submitting to him, but that ten-year gap between them intimidated her a little. He was tall, experienced in socializing, somewhat condescending, and had an undeniably powerful aura.


    The difference between them was obvious.


    ¡°I should be back in a week, but if everything goes smoothly, I can be back in five days,¡± Huo Jingshen informed her, as if he was instructing a subordinate. ¡°You can call me if there are any problems, or you can¡­¡± Huo Jingshen paused for a moment, ¡°send me a WeChat message.¡±


    This WeChat messaging was something that Nangong Ci had taught him after he returned to China. He said that it was something all the youngsters were doing nowadays.


    Su Wanwan nodded, vaguely wondering what problems he thought she might encounter.


    ¡°Add your WeChat ount to my phone. Oh, and your phone number too.¡± Huo Jingshen held out a ck business phone.


    Su Wanwan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. She did not want to add him but he continued holding out his phone, so Su Wanwan had no choice but to take it and add him as a friend on WeChat.


    ¡°Hello, CEO Huo! Hello, Mrs. Huo!¡± The both of them turned as someone came running over. After handing some documents to Huo Jingshen, Ji Jie respectfully gave Su Wanwan a small pink bag. ¡°Madam, this is your luggage.¡±


    ¡°Oh, thank you.¡±


    ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t need to be so polite with me. You can look for me if you need anything in the future,¡± Ji Jie said eagerly.


    ¡°Umm¡­ Thank you.¡±


    ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t need to be so polite with me.¡±


    Su Wanwan blinked, unsure of how to respond.


    ¡°You can go back now,¡± Huo Jingshen told his assistant finally.


    Ji Jie immediately said, ¡°Okay, CEO Huo! I wish you and Mrs. Huo a happy marriage! May you both be happily married for a hundred years! Goodbye!¡±


    Su Wanwan could only stare as the overly enthusiastic assistant rushed off.


    ***


    Ten minutester.


    Su Wanwan returned to the car, looking at the bright red book in her hand. She was still a little bewildered.


    Everything was happening so quickly!


    If Mo Weiyi, who had spent ten years wondering how she could marry Xiao Yebai, found out that she had spent less than half a day to get married, what would she say?


    Before Su Wanwan could blink, the bright red book in her hands disappeared.


    Su Wanwan¡¯s eyes widened indignantly as she turned to Huo Jingshen. ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Huo Jingshen took a picture of the two small red booklets using his phone, and answered casually, ¡°Making an official announcement.¡±


    Su Wanwan gaped at him.


    Huo Jingshen shared the picture on his WeChat, and started the car.

 Chapter 35

    Chapter 35: Elder Sister-in-Law


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s simple act of uploading that picture had caused a significant amount of chaos on WeChat, but he waspletely indifferent to the fact.


    Su Wanwan initially thought that they would be going back to the courtyard at the military area, but unexpectedly, he drove the Bentley Mulsanne all the way to the Tianquan Imperial Court.


    This was the most famous residential area for the rich and wealthy in Nanchang. It was located near the Nanchang Fourth Ring Road, and the area was designed by the most famous European architects. It was said that if the mood of any of the residents in this area fluctuated, it would certainly affect the GDP of the entire Nanchang. It was why this ce was jokingly referred to as ¡®the weather-vane of Nanchang¡¯.


    The Bentley Mulsanne came to a halt after entering a particr courtyard.


    Su Wanwan got out of the car first, and saw that there were several other luxury cars parked in the garage in front of them, mostly Maybachs or Ferraris.


    Her husband was really a spendthrift!


    Woof! Woof!


    Suddenly, Su Wanwan heard a dog barking. She spun around and saw a ck form rushing towards her.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Su Wanwan screamed and jumped onto Huo Jingshen, clinging onto him tightly.


    Huo Jingshen instinctively caught her, raising his brows in surprise.


    ¡°Quickly!¡± Su Wanwan wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and begged, ¡°Quickly send the dog away!¡±


    KO had reached them, barking happily, and he stood on his hind legs and stuck out his tongue.


    Su Wanwan suddenly felt something wet and warm on her calf.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Su Wanwan was so frightened that she nearly passed out, and felt like she was about to lose her voice from screaming. ¡°Quickly send the dog away! I am scared of dogs! Ahhh! Ahhh!¡±


    Huo Jingshen stared at Su Wanwan thoughtfully. It actually felt pretty good to be able to hold his wife in his arms after officially getting married. However¡­


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Well, well.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Three men walked out of the vi at that moment, watching the scene before them.


    Huo Jingshen frowned. ¡°Xiao-san, take KO away.¡±


    ¡°Damn it, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me Xiao-san?!¡± Nangong Ci whined but walked over to them and grabbed KO¡¯s leash.


    KO was very upset. Ever since they returned to China, nobody took him out for a walk. KO only saw his owner once every few days, so was it wrong if he was excited to meet him?


    The dejected wolfhound was taken away to the dog kennel.


    Huo Jingshen stroked the back of the youngdy¡¯s head and murmured, ¡°It¡¯s safe now.¡±


    Su Wanwan raised her head and looked around to make sure that the wolfhound was truly gone, and at that moment, she saw two unfamiliar men standing behind her.


    They both looked young and were very tall.


    One of them was holding a ss of red wine in his hand, and looked rather alluring. He seemed docile, but the mysterious smile on his face made it clear that things weren¡¯t that simple with him.


    As for the other young man, he had his hands in his suit trouser pockets. He was wearing a pair of sses with a thin ck frame, and a id shirt. He looked gentle and elegant, and seemed like a straightforward person.


    Damn it! Su Wanwan blushed furiously and immediately leaped off Huo Jingshen¡¯s body.


    ¡°Has the case at Guidi been settled?¡± Huo Jingshen asked casually.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted us toe over for a celebration since you are going to make an official announcement?¡± Chu Xiuhuang asked, raising his brows slightly. He smiled at Su Wanwan and drawled, ¡°How old is this girl? Has she even turned eighteen yet?¡±


    ¡°Greet your elder sister-inw,¡± Huo Jingshen replied.


    ¡°Elder sister-inw,¡± the young man with sses repeated immediately.


    ¡°Damn it, don¡¯t you ever have your own opinion?¡± Chu Xiuhuang sighed, looking at Lu Chenyu in disgust.


    This brat usually never responded to anything, but he was suddenly so chatty now?


    Lu Chenyu said solemnly, ¡°Even if the man is significantly older than the woman, she is still referred to as elder sister-inw.¡±


    Huo Jingshen¡¯s expression instantly darkened, and Su Wanwan coughed a few times.


    Chu Xiuhuang pursed his thin lips, casually taking a sip of red wine from the ss in his hand. Even if it was such a rtionship, how could he possibly address a young girl like her as ¡®elder sister-inw¡¯?


    Sorry, but as Young Master Chu, he could not bring himself to do so.


    ¡°All of you can get lost now,¡± Huo Jingshen suddenly said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t chase us out, Bro.¡± Nangong Ci hurried back from the dog kennel and exined, ¡°I specifically invited them here to celebrate. Mingzi is overseas so we will invite him to join us next time.¡±


    He turned to Su Wanwan, raising a brow and smiling cheekily. ¡°Oh! Miss Su, it is so soon-¡±


    ¡°Call her ¡®Elder sister-inw¡¯,¡± Lu Chenyu interrupted him.


    Chu Xiuhuang nced at him with a frown.


    Did this brat take the wrong medicine today? Why was he suddenly talking so much?


    Was he trying to get into Huo Jingshen¡¯s good books?


    ¡°Elder sister-inw!¡± Nangong Ci called out cheerfully, and his loud voice triggered KO, who started howling from the dog kennel.


    Su Wanwan subconsciously leaned into Huo Jingshen¡¯s side, clutching his arm with her hands tightly.


    This independent youngdy seeking his protection was so pitiful and adorable that Huo Jingshen instantly felt his mood improve. His lips curved into a faint smile as he looked down at her contentedly.


    Chu Xiuhuang¡¯s eyelid twitched.


    Was this man who was smiling like an idiot really Huo Jingshen?


    He must have gone mad!

    Chapter 36: Old Man Aesthetic


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    After entering the living room, Huo Jingshen instantly turned to the maid. ¡°Take Madam upstairs to rest.¡±


    ¡°Okay, sir.¡±


    After Su Wanwan disappeared with the maid, Chu Xiuhuang chuckled. ¡°A married man is indeed different.¡±


    Huo Jingshen red at him warningly.


    ¡°What is so different about him?¡± Nangong Ci asked curiously. Why couldn¡¯t he see any difference in his eldest brother?


    Lu Chenyu, who was also single, raised his brows questioningly.


    Chu Xiuhuang picked up his ss of red wine, slowly taking a sip of it as he said solemnly, ¡°Both of you single men should get into a few rtionships before asking me that question.¡±


    Nangong Ci rolled his eyes. ¡°What does that have to do with falling in love or being in a rtionship?¡±


    ¡°How do I put this? It¡¯s like you trying to ask me about a postgraduate issue when you¡¯ve just started elementary school,¡± Chu Xiuhuang exined patiently, then added smugly, ¡°Elder brother is a special case though ¨C he graduated without even attending elementary school.¡±


    Nangong Ci choked on his red wine trying to stifle hisughter, while Lu Chenyu simply gave his eldest brother a thumbs up.


    Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes and growled, ¡°Are the three of you currently unemployed?¡±


    Why were they still here?


    Chu Xiuhuang stretched out his legs leisurely and grinned. ¡°Eldest brother, I lost millions of dors because of you, so if you¡¯re not going to give me an exnation for this, I¡¯ll have to go and look for Xiao Yebai directly.¡±


    ¡°Brother, Xiao Yebai is connected to the Mo family,¡± Nangong Ci reminded him.


    ¡°What about them?¡± The Mo family were no threat to him, Chu Xiuhuang. If they were, he would not have invested in Guidi just to go against them.


    Huo Jingshen stood up abruptly. ¡°All of you should have left by the time Ie back downstairs.¡±


    The room went silent.


    ***


    After going upstairs, Su Wanwan looked around the huge master bedroom. ¡°Are there any other rooms here?¡±


    ¡°Madam, this is the master bedroom.¡± The maid looked a little surprised. Would CEO Huo and his wife be sleeping in separate rooms?


    Su Wanwan knew that this was the master bedroom, but everything in it was either ck, white, or gray. It had a cold and impersonal feel to it.


    This was an old man aesthetic, and she was not used to it at all.


    Moreover, this room was too big. It was massive but there were no decorations in it at all. She would definitely feel anxious sleeping in this room.


    ¡°Madam, you can call for me anytime you need me; I work here from ten in the morning to six in the evening every day. You can call me Aunty Liu.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Thank you, Aunty Liu.¡±


    After the maid left, the first thing that Su Wanwan did was look for a phone charger so that she could charge her phone.


    After that, she walked over to the bathroom and opened the door.


    Wow, even the bathroom was huge!


    The entire wall was filled with mirrors, and the tiles were made of ck and white marble. The bathroom was divided into three areas: one for washing up, one for showering, and one for taking a bath.


    There was an exceptionallyrge bathtub inside the bathing area. It would certainly be veryfortable to take a bath at night¡­


    ¡°The bathtub does not seem to be big enough.¡±


    The sudden voice shocked Su Wanwan.


    Damn it, he really made no sound when he moved!


    Su Wanwan turned to see Huo Jingshen standing directly behind her. He was standing so close that she could smell the faint scent of tobo on him.


    Su Wanwan took a step back, but since she was wearing Huo Jingshen¡¯s huge slippers, one of her feet slipped out and she stepped onto the cold tiles.


    Huo Jingshen nced down. Her small, fair foot on the ck tiles was really quite alluring.


    Su Wanwan hurriedly ced her foot back into the slipper. ¡°Umm¡­ Aren¡¯t you rushing to catch your flight?¡±


    The man hummed slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s already half past four, right?¡± Su Wanwan reminded him hesitantly.


    ¡°There is no hurry.¡± Huo Jingshen took a step forward.


    Su Wanwan instinctively took a step back.


    Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen took another step towards her.


    ¡°What¡­ what are you trying to do?¡± Su Wanwan stammered as she looked up at him.


    Huo Jingshen pursed his lips and said bluntly, ¡°Even if there is something I want to do, I can¡¯t do it now.¡±


    Su Wanwan gaped at him, speechless.


    Was he¡­ making a move on her?


    ¡°Come here.¡± Huo Jingshen could not be bothered with any more small talk, and simply held out his hand to her.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± When Su Wanwan saw the look in his eyes, she felt as though she was a little rabbit that had entered a wolf¡¯s den. She could not help but feel anxious and uneasy.


    Of course she knew that they would have to get intimate since they were married now, but wasn¡¯t he supposed to catch a flight today?


    Was he really going to make a move on her so soon?


    ¡°Come here.¡± There was a hint of impatience in his tone.


    Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.


    Forget it. If he wanted to make a move, so be it. After all, it would happen sooner orter.


    Su Wanwan moved forward robotically, but he suddenly caught hold of her hand.


    ¡°Close your eyes.¡±


    Su Wanwan was a little confused.


    Huo Jingshen curled his fingers around her chin and raised her face to his slowly. ¡°Do you like to kiss with your eyes wide open?¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s heart pounded in her chest.

 Chapter 37

    Chapter 37: Wedding Gift


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    The next morning.


    ¡°Wanwan, this car is not bad¡­ Wanwan!¡±


    Su Wanwan suddenly regained her senses. ¡°What?¡±


    Mo Weiyi stared at Su Wanwan suspiciously. ¡°Are you thinking of Huo Jingshen?¡±


    Su Wanwan went silent.


    She had indeed been thinking about Huo Jingshen, or rather¡­ his goodbye kiss.


    It had been so gentle and tender.


    This kiss shocked her more than the first time they had kissed in the hospital. She felt like her whole body had been electrified, and couldn¡¯t even remember how or when Huo Jingshen left.


    ¡°I guessed right!¡± Mo Weiyi pped her hands excitedly. ¡°He¡¯s only been gone for a day and you¡¯re already out of sorts. Tsk, tsk. Newlyweds are indeed different.¡±


    Su Wanwan coughed, her cheeks burning. ¡°So what if I¡¯m thinking of him? We¡¯re already married. Can¡¯t I think about my man?¡±


    Su Wanwan¡¯s tone was so arrogant that she rendered Mo Weiyipletely speechless.


    However, Mo Weiyi quickly recovered and leaned close to Su Wanwan, whispering in her ear, ¡°Then how are his skills in that aspect?¡±


    Su Wanwan red at her friend.


    ¡°I let it go when you refused to tell me about it thest time, but are you still shy about it now that the both of you are already married?¡± Mo Weiyi demanded impatiently, nothing like the dignified and elegant youngdy everyone was used to seeing.


    Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. ¡°Does Xiaobai know how perverted you are?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s my husband, of course he knows!¡±


    Su Wanwan sighed wearily.


    ¡°Also, if I was not so perverted and lustful, would I have been able to hook up with him sessfully?¡±


    Su Wanwan silently agreed.


    Su Wanwan hardly ever interacted with Xiao Yebai. In fact, they only met when he came to their boarding school to pick Mo Weiyi up. He gave her the impression that he was a very cold person, because his indifference made it look as though he did not have any sort of desire at all. He was certainly very handsome, but he always seemed so distant.


    Mo Weiyi was theplete opposite of him, with her passion and vitality. She was always full of life.


    ¡°But you said that Huo Jingshen returned to Y Countryst night. Does that mean that the both of you did not consummate your marriage?¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s eyes lit up and she instantly said, ¡°I know what wedding gift to give you then!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a secret,¡± Mo Weiyi replied mysteriously.


    ¡°Miss.¡± At that moment, Zhou Teng jogged in from outside. He turned to greet Mo Weiyi. ¡°Miss Mo.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Zhou, I¡¯ve decided to take this one,¡± Su Wanwan dered as she pointed at a red car.


    Mo Weiyi was very unsatisfied and she huffed, ¡°Wanwan, you are the wife of the chairman of Huo Yuan Real Estate Development now. Are you really going to be driving a Camry?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s pretty good.¡± Su Wanwan did not care that much about money. Although she had never received much love since she was young, Su Yuntang had never dared to deny her of material things because of Su Xueqin, and had always given both his daughters the same amount of pocket money. Besides, Su Xueqin would be the one buying the car¡­


    ¡°You should at least be driving a BMW, right?¡± Mo Weiyi pointed at a small convertible sports car next to her. ¡°This looks like a pretty good car. We can go on drives together in this!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need, I¡¯ll just take this.¡± Su Wanwan turned to Zhou Teng. ¡°Uncle Zhou, do you think this car is okay?¡±


    ¡°Miss, the most important thing is that you like it.¡±


    After they were done choosing the car, Su Wanwan called Su Xueqin to tell him about her choice, and then the both of them went to the World Trade Shopping Center.


    Su Wanwan did not bring her luggage with her when she came back to the country, so she had asked her friend in Los Angeles to help send all her things back to China. She would begin studying in September and the season was already about to change, so she needed to get some new clothes.


    Both of them entered a boutique. While Su Wanwan was busy choosing her clothes, Mo Weiyi ran out to get something.


    Very soon, she came back with a bag and dered, ¡°Here ¨C your wedding gift.¡±


    So fast?


    Su Wanwan took the bag and was about to open it-


    ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Mo Weiyi held the bag firmly and said, ¡°Wait for CEO Huo toe home before you open it.¡±


    Su Wanwan did not think too much about it and simply put the bag aside. ¡°I¡¯ll go and try on this dress first then.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ***


    Su Wanwan had just walked out of the fitting room when she heard a woman making a phone call in the next room.


    She did not care about it at first but the woman¡¯s voice was simply too loud. It seemed as though she did not care if anyone could hear her conversation at all.


    ¡°How long has it been since youst saw me?¡±


    ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t care! I just want you toe over.¡±


    ¡°No, you are so closeby! If you refuse toe here and see me now, I will not leave this ce!¡±


    Su Wanwan got goosebumps all over, so she raised her hand and knocked on the room divider a few times.


    The person in the next room was silent for a while, but eventually continued: ¡°Okay then, hurry up ande here. I will apany you to the hospital to change the dressing for your woundter.¡±


    Su Wanwan frowned. After she was done getting dressed, she opened the door and stepped out.


    She did not realize the drama that was about to unfold.


    The woman who had been speaking on the phone earlier had already stepped out of her fitting room, and she just happened to be wearing the exact same dress that Su Wanwan was wearing.


    A salesgirl nearby smiled at Su Wanwan enthusiastically.¡±Miss, you look really good in this dress.¡±


    Su Wanwan stood in front of the mirror, raising her chin as she turned around slowly to take a look at the dress. The soft chiffon yarn fell to her ankles, highlighting her delicate figure and graceful movements.


    Anyone who saw her would have found her beauty breathtaking.


    Su Wanwan was also very satisfied with the dress. ¡°It really is beautiful.¡±


    As soon as the other woman heard this, she immediately became upset. She looked at the salesgirl and demanded, ¡°Which one of us looks better in this dress?¡±


    It was like that saying: ¡°It is not a terrible thing to bump into someone who is wearing the same clothes as you, but it would be terrible if you look uglier in it.¡±


    Since both of them were her customers, the salesgirl did not know how to respond.


    ¡°Miss Li, you have been filming too much so your face looks a little sallow after staying up all night. This dress is also yellow, so it does not really suit you,¡± Mo Weiyi¡¯s voice suddenly sounded.

 Chapter 38

    Chapter 38: Inevitable for Enemies to sh


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Somehow, the woman who had initially been very arrogant instantly changed. She red at Su Wanwan viciously, then entered the fitting room and mmed the door.


    It did not take long for her to change out of the dress, and she stormed out of the fitting room and flung the dress at the salesgirl. ¡°This dress is toomon and has no quality at all. I don¡¯t want it anymore!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re ugly but you¡¯re ming the dress for it? It seems as though Miss Li¡¯s eyes are not working well either after staying upte so often.¡±


    Miss Li¡¯s expression was extremely nasty, but she just picked up her bag and left without saying anything.


    ¡°Why is that woman afraid of you?¡± Su Wanwan asked curiously.


    ¡°Of course she¡¯s afraid of me,¡± Mo Weiyi replied with a sly grin, ¡°I have something I can use against her.¡±


    ***


    After paying for the clothes, both of them entered the shop next door to look around. As they were exiting the shop, they saw the woman from earlier in the hallway.


    This time, there was a man standing beside her. He was quite tall and the woman was gripping his arm tightly, as though she was glued to him. She was blissfully ignoring all the strange looks that people were giving her.


    ¡°Enemies are bound to sh,¡± Mo Weiyi sighed, right as the two people in front of them turned around.


    ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s you again, Su Wanwan!¡±


    It was the annoying Huo Zexi.


    Su Wanwan felt that it really was inevitable for enemies to sh.


    The woman asked in surprise, ¡°Xixi, do you know her?¡±


    Xixi? Su Wanwan felt like vomiting.


    ¡°How could I not?! She is the one who smashed my head with a beer bottle!¡± Huo Zexi snarled, ring at Su Wanwan. Since there were no members of the Huo family around, he did not need to hide his hatred for her.


    The woman immediately sneered, ¡°You actually dare to smash Xixi¡¯s head with a beer bottle? You really are a violent shrew!¡±


    No wonder she was such good friends with someone like Mo Weiyi!


    She could not say that out loud though.


    Mo Weiyi said innocently, ¡°Wanwan, you told me that the third young master of the Huo family is good friends with Xing Yuyun, right? Now I realize how true that is ¨C they even like the same woman! Do you think they aim for the same hole when they y golf too?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Su Wanwan burst outughing at Mo Weiyi¡¯s words.


    This woman knew Xing Yuyun too? There really were a lot of things she did not know.


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about, Mo Weiyi?!¡± The woman looked panicked, her face instantly turning red.


    ¡°I am talking nonsense?¡± Mo Weiyi smiled smugly, ¡°I still have the pictures of you and Xing Yuyun, would you like me to send copies of them to your Xixi too? Those photos are all in high definition, so are you really sure you want me to do that?¡±


    Huo Zexi¡¯s expression was dark.


    Li Na was a young celebrity who was justing up in the entertainment industry, and the both of them had met at a party not too long ago. She had been chasing after him relentlesslytely, and had even managed to get his cell phone number. Since he had been hanging out nearby today, he decided toe out and meet her, but he really did not expect this.


    He jerked his arm out of her grasp abruptly and yelled, ¡°Bitch!¡±


    ¡°Xixi, let me exin. Young Master Xing and I are just¡­ we are just¡­¡±


    ¡°You only had an appointment with him, right?¡± Mo Weiyi supplied helpfully.


    ¡°Mo Weiyi, don¡¯t go overboard!¡± Li Na was furious, but since the Mo family was very established, Li Na did not dare to offend her in any way.


    People around them stopped to watch the drama, and some of them even took out their phones to take pictures of the scene.


    ¡°Did this man get cuckolded by this woman?¡±


    ¡°I think that it¡¯s worse than that ¨C it seems like his woman spent the night with his good friend!¡±


    ¡°A woman who has been with his good friend? Wow, he really has a strange taste in women.¡±


    ¡°Young people nowadays like to y around, just like this couple¡­¡±


    How could Huo Zexi possibly endure this kind of humiliation?


    He did enjoy fooling around, but he was also very concerned about his image, so he would not fool around with just any woman.


    Huo Zexi pped Li Na across the face. ¡°You whore!¡±


    He actually dared to hit her in public? The crowd of people watching the scene became even more excitable.


    Su Wanwan was toozy to continue watching, so she pulled Mo Weiyi away. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go and shop upstairs instead.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ***


    After Huo Zexi got rid of Li Na, he drove to the hospital to change the dressing for his wound. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and turned the corner, he bumped into someone. He was already in an bad mood, so he roared, ¡°Damn it, are you blind? Are you rushing to go to a funeral?!¡±


    Su Yanyan was so angry that her face flushed red.


    He was obviously the one who had bumped into her first, so how could he me her for it?


    However, she knew this was Huo Zexi, the third young master of the Huo family. He was a very famous and powerful figure in Nanchang, so Su Yanyan did not dare to offend him. She could only squat down and pick up her report before turning around to leave.


    ¡°Stop right there!¡± Huo Zexi grabbed her arm and demanded, ¡°Apologize to me now!¡±


    That Su Wanwan had already infuriated him by getting the protection and support of the Huo family, rendering him unable to fight against his own enemy. However, was this young woman who looked so harmless also going to treat him the same way?


    Did she really think it would be that easy to bully him?


    Huo Zexi reached out and snatched the report in her hand.


    ¡°Give that back!¡± Su Yanyan shrieked.


    Huo Zexi looked down at the report. What? Thirty-nine days of pregnancy?


    What the hell?


    Su Yanyan snatched the report back from him and hurriedly rushed off before he could make sense of it. Once she got back into the car, she called Jiang Yi. ¡°Mom, I already got the report done. I will go and look for the Xing family now.¡±


    As long as she had this pregnancy report, the elders of the Xing family would never agree to Xing Yuyun¡¯s request to cancel their engagement. However, Su Yanyan wanted more than just an official engagement now¡­


    She wanted them to get married immediately!


    ***


    That same night, Su Xueqin called Su Wanwan to ask her to return home.

 Chapter 39

    Chapter 39: Scumbag Got Beaten Up


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Su Wanwan did not want to go back home, but she had not choice but to return because of Su Xueqin.


    That night, she called for a taxi. After getting out of the car at the entrance, she did not notice another car behind her.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Wanwan?¡±


    Old Master Xing who was initially resting immediately opened his eyes.


    ¡°Why did she take a taxi here?¡± Huo Qinyu muttered, sounding perplexed. ¡°Hasn¡¯t she already gotten married to Ah Shen? Why didn¡¯t he arrange for a driver to send her here?¡±


    The two ck Audis slowly drove into thepound, passed Su Wanwan, and finally entered the garage.


    Su Wanwan nced at the cars before she stepped into the vi.


    Su Xueqin was sitting in his wheelchair, reading a book. He was wearing formal clothes today, making hisplexion look even better.


    ¡°Grandpa.¡±


    Su Xueqin smiled happily when he saw his granddaughter. ¡°Wanwan, you¡¯re here.¡±


    The door of the study room opened, and the family of three walked out.


    As soon as he saw Su Wanwan, Su Yuntang¡¯s expression changed. His tone was impatient as he sneered, ¡°Why did youe back so suddenly?¡±


    Su Wanwan sighed and said, ¡°Grandpa, I told you that someone will not wee me in this house. I think it would be better for me not toe back here next time.¡±


    Su Yuntang¡¯s face instantly turned red. ¡°What are you saying, you bastard?!¡±


    m!


    Su Xueqin threw his book to the floor viciously. ¡°This is my house! I was the one who asked Wanwan toe home, so whoever disagrees can get out of my house now!¡±


    Su Xueqin¡¯s words were harsh, and both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan looked very unhappy. However, Su Wanwan was smiling brightly as she sat down beside Su Xueqin to watch the show.


    Su Yuntang red at her before saying lowly, ¡°Dad, the second elder of the Xing family is going to be here soon-¡±


    ¡°If you think this is embarrassing, then you can get lost!¡±


    ¡°Dad¡­¡±


    Su Yuntang wanted to continue speaking, but the maid suddenly said, ¡°Old Master Su, the Xing family has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Go and bring the guests in,¡± Su Xueqin ordered, and Su Yuntang had no choice but toply.


    As soon as he left, Su Xueqin whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t say anythingter. Grandpa will gain some justice on your behalf.¡±


    Su Wanwan smiled gratefully at her grandfather.


    Su Yanyan could only clench her fists in anger.


    ***


    Soon, Old Master Xing entered the living room. He was wearing a ck shirt and leaning on his walking stick which had a dragon¡¯s head carved on the handle. Although he was nearly eighty, he had a straight back, keen eyes, and sharp features.


    Old Mistress Xing, Xing Guozhi, and Huo Qinyu were directly behind him, with Xing Yuyun walking behind all of them.


    Su Wanwan nced at Xing Yuyun and she saw that there was a bandage and blood stains on his face, as though someone had just beaten him up.


    As soon as their eyes met, Su Wanwan looked away.


    Turns out this scumbag was the type of person who would casually have sex with celebrities too. He even shared the same bed partner as his good friend!


    Hahaha! Men really were scoundrels!


    After greeting each other, Old Master Xing got straight to the point: ¡°The reason I came here today is to make amends. I have been living in the suburbs all this while, so I did not know about all the horrible things that this unfilial grandson of mine has done. He has hurt our inws, and brought shame to the Xing family.¡±


    Old Master Xing looked at Xing Yuyun and asked, ¡°Yuyun, do you know what you did wrong now?¡±


    Xing Yuyun did not speak.


    Old Master Xing¡¯s expression turned ugly. He raised his walking stick and started hitting Xing Yuyun¡¯s back with it.


    Everything happened so suddenly that even Su Wanwan was shocked.


    Huo Qinyu¡¯s heart broke when she saw her son getting hit and she could not help but say, ¡°Dad, you already taught Yuyun a lesson in the afternoon-¡±


    ¡°I was simply implementing our family rules then. Now, I am teaching him how to be a man!¡± Old Master Xing had a stern expression on his face. He looked at Xing Yuyun and growled, ¡°Do you now know what you did wrong?¡±


    Xing Yuyun still refused to speak. He gritted his teeth, sweating from the pain.


    Su Wanwan had not had much contact with the Xing family before this, but she knew that Old Master Xing was a veteran General who had retired from the army. He did not show any mercy or leniency at all when he hit Xing Yuyun, and most people would not have been able to endure it.


    She nced at Su Xueqin and realized that her grandfather waspletely indifferent to it.


    m!


    Old Master Xing hit Xing Yuyun again.


    There were varying expressions on everyone¡¯s faces, but no one dared to stop him. Xing Yuyun got hit about a dozen times, until a voice called out, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    Old Mistress Xing stared at her husband evenly. ¡°He might die if you continue hitting him.¡±


    ¡°Pfft.¡± Su Xueqin snorted and said coldly, ¡°He is a young man. Do you really think he will die from getting hit twenty times with a stick?¡±


    Su Wanwan was silent.


    Old Master Xing withdrew his walking stick and took a deep breath before saying, ¡°The reason I am here today is because I want to give my inws an exnation and an apology on behalf of the Xing family.¡±


    At that moment, Xing Guozhi handed a document to Su Wanwan under everyone¡¯s watchful gaze.


    ¡°This is one of our properties in Sello Park. We would like to offer this to Wanwan aspensation.¡±


    Su Wanwan was taken aback.


    Everyone else was also surprised. Earlier that day, Xing Yuyun had told Old Master Xing that he wanted to dissolve his marriage contract with Su Yanyan. Old Master Xing had lost his temper and flung a teapot at Xing Yuyun¡¯s face, seriously injuring him.


    Wasn¡¯t Old Master Xing here tonight because of Su Yanyan¡¯s matter?


    Just as Su Yanyan thought she would not be able to remain quiet anymore, Old Master Xing spoke up again: ¡°The Xing family will hold a wedding ceremony for Yuyun and Yanyan on the 20th. From now on, Yanyan will be the granddaughter-inw of the Xing family.¡±


    He had injured his own grandson to win the approval of his enemy, and since Xing Yuyun had suffered considerably, it would prove Old Master Xing¡¯s sincerity. Su Xueqin raised his brows and did not say anything else.


    While they waited for Huo Qinyu to finish tending to her son¡¯s injuries in the guest room, Jiang Yi discussed the details of the wedding with Old Mistress Xing. Everyone in the living room was in total harmony, as though nothing had happened earlier.


    Five minutester, Su Wanwan found a reason to excuse herself and went upstairs.


    ***


    Her bedroom had beenpletely cleaned out by the maid.


    Su Wanwan sat on the sofa as she scrolled through her cell phone. Suddenly, she received a call from an unknown number.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Hello, is this Wanwan? This is Grandma on the line.¡±


    It was Old Mistress Huo who was calling her!


    ¡°Hello, Grandma!¡± Su Wanwan hurriedly greeted her.


    Old Mistress Huo chuckled warmly and asked, ¡°Wanwan, are you free tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°Is there anything you need, Grandma?¡±


    ¡°I just called Ah Shen and he told me that he will only be back in a few days as he has some matters to settle. The vi at Tianquan Imperial Court is so big, so I was worried about you living there alone.¡±


    Finally, Old Mistress Huo got straight to the point: ¡°Can youe over here to eat with me tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°Okay-¡±


    ¡°Perfect! I will send the driver there to pick you up tomorrow morning. By the way, you can add me on WeChatter. This is my cell phone number.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Wanwan felt that this olddy was really very fashionable and trendy. She was even using WeChat!


    After ending the call, Su Wanwan saved the phone number before adding it as a contact on WeChat.


    Su Wanwan was stunned. Old Mistress Huo¡¯s WeChat username was ¡®A Woman Who Will Never Admit Defeat¡¯!


    ¡°Su Wanwan.¡± A sudden voice made Su Wanwan¡¯s good mood disappear instantly.


    She raised her head and said coldly, ¡°I realize that some people are quite thick-skinned, but didn¡¯t your mother ever tell you that you should knock on the door before entering other people¡¯s rooms?¡±

 Chapter 40

    Chapter 40: Tit for Tat


    <strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion


    ¡°You pretended to be so well-behaved earlier, but now you expose your true colours? Su Wanwan, you truly are two-faced!¡±


    Su Yanyan hated this trait of Su Wanwan¡¯s the most, but for some reason, Su Xueqin seemed to like it. Whenever Su Yanyan saw Su Wanwan acting coquettishly in front of Su Xueqin, she felt like vomiting!


    Today was the worst. Old Master Xing had obviouslye all the way here to give her an exnation, but he ended up giving Su Wanwan one of their properties aspensation because he had to give face to Su Xueqin.


    Su Wanwan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her, so she got up to leave.


    ¡°Do you know why our engagement banquet was changed to a wedding banquet instead?¡± Su Yanyan reached out to stop Su Wanwan, a triumphant smile on her face. ¡°It¡¯s because I am pregnant with Xing Yuyun¡¯s child.¡±


    ¡°What does that have to do with me?¡± Su Wanwan responded nkly.


    Su Yanyan was very annoyed by Su Wanwan¡¯s nonchnce.


    ¡°Su Wanwan, you have no right to be arrogant! You were abandoned by Xing Yuyun even though the both of you were engaged for more than two years! Huo Jingshen has simply picked up another man¡¯s leftovers, and he really is generous to be marrying a woman that his cousin brother had his share of fun with. Do the elders of the Huo family know about it?¡±


    Smack!


    Su Wanwan pped Su Yanyan across her face and sneered, ¡°Your mouth is so filthy! Did you forget to brush your teeth today?¡±


    Su Yanyan gritted her teeth angrily and tried to fight back, but Su Wanwan grabbed Su Yanyan¡¯s wrist as soon as she lifted her arm.


    How could a pampered youngdy possibly win against someone who had been fighting ever since she was young?


    Su Yanyan was in so much pain that tears were running down her cheeks. She could only struggle as she snarled, ¡°I already investigated him! That Huo Jingshen is already thirty this year, and he¡¯s just ying around with you. Do you really think that he wants to get married to you? The Huo family did not evene here to propose marriage! He is just a rich old man who is raising you like a pet he can fool around with! Do you really think he married you because he loves you? Don¡¯t be a fool!¡±


    ¡°Huo Jingshen may or may not love me, but I know for a fact that Xing Yuyun does not love you at all,¡± Su Wanwan said icily, and Su Yanyan flinched.


    Su Wanwan smirked and continued, ¡°Oh, and don¡¯t think Old Master Xing beat Xing Yuyun up because of you ¨C it was purely to maintain his reputation. You won¡¯t get to sit back and enjoy avish lifestyle even if you marry Xing Yuyun, because he is the kind of scumbag that you will never be able to control. If he could sleep with you, then he can sleep with other girls too. When some third party, fourth party, fifth party or even sixth partyes knocking at your door because they are pregnant with his children, do you think Xing Yuyun will take responsibility for it?¡±


    ***


    When Su Wanwan entered the living room on the first floor, she heard the sound of things breaking above her.


    ¡°What is going on?¡± Jiang Yi stood up in surprise.


    Su Wanwan smiled and said serenely, ¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s just a disgusting female cockroach upstairs. Grandpa, I won¡¯t be staying for dinner. I will go back home first.¡±


    ¡­


    After leaving the Su family vi, Su Wanwan did not call for a taxi. Instead, she simply walked along the roadside as she headed out of the area. Perhaps it was because of her quiet surroundings, but Su Wanwan suddenly thought about what Su Yanyan had said earlier.


    A rich old man who was raising her like a pet? Was it true?


    At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. Su Wanwan nced at the caller ID and sighed.


    A phone call from Y Country.


    How could there be such a coincidence? She had just been thinking about Huo Jingshen, and then she received a call from him.


    Su Wanwan finally answered the call. ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Why did you take so long to pick up the phone?¡± The man¡¯s deep voice sounded extremely alluring.


    In fact, Mo Weiyi had once told her that his voice was so sexy that a woman could get pregnant just by listening to him.


    Su Wanwan asked bluntly, ¡°Did you need something?¡±


    ¡°Do I need a reason to call my own wife?¡± He sounded slightly irritated.


    ¡°Err¡­¡±


    ¡°Did Grandma call you?¡±


    ¡°Yes, she did.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Huo Jingshen said, ¡°I will be flying back to Nanchang on Sunday.¡±


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    ¡°You cane and pick me up then,¡± Huo Jingshen said casually.


    Su Wanwan frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license.¡±


    There was a long silence, before the man on the other end of the line said curtly, ¡°Then we can just end the call now.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen ended the call.


    Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. Was the old man angry?


    ***


    In the next few days, everything went smoothly for Su Wanwan.


    She enrolled in driving school and attended driving sses during the day, and would watch movies in the vi at night. Sometimes, she would head out to eat or go shopping with Mo Weiyi.


    The Su family members were all busy preparing for Su Yanyan¡¯s wedding, so none of them came to bother her anymore.


    Su Wanwan was indeed living a very peaceful life.


    On Saturday night, she received a WeChat message from her friend in Luo City saying that her luggage would be arriving in China the next day, and that she needed to personally pick it up at the airport.
