“If you find out why you went to find trouble with that family, I’ll expose all the dirty things you did behind Liu Yousong’s back.” This was his brother’s final warning and ultimatum.
Yao Jingdan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. At this moment, she only wanted to drag her entire family to death. After meeting such a family member who was dragging her down, would her future rich life be reduced to nothing? She had waited for so many years and finally won Liu Yousong’s favor. She was about to be his wife. She never expected that Shen Yameng would do such a vicious thing at the last moment. She would rather send her husband to prison than give up her position. She was a bully.
She had never thought that the reason why Shen Yameng refused to get a divorce was because of that scumbag Liu Yousong, who wanted to force Shen Yameng to leave the marriage with nothing. How dared he?
“Shen Yameng is bullying me, and you’re here to stop me. Fine, I’ll take the child and sever all ties with you. I won’t ask you for help in the future even if I die.”
“No, letting you go out and run around. Isn’t that the same as letting you go out and do whatever you want? What if we get implicated? You can’t go anywhere. You can only stay at home. Otherwise, wait for the scandal to spread! Not only that, but I also want to send a piece of evidence to the prison. I want to see how you still have the face to take Liu Yousong’s property!”
The argument between the siblings caused the ward and the corridor to be filled with spectators.
Yao Jingdan couldn’t take it anymore and slammed the door of the ward loudly.
As for her “obedient son,” he just stood behind her and watched the whole show. He had been pretending to be the son that Liu Yousong liked all these years and was tired of it. Now that he knew that that person was in prison, he was even happier than Liu Zhiheng. He was no longer a tool for his mother to please others.
“I’m not going anywhere, okay?” Yao Jingdan never expected that her dearest brother would tie her hands and feet in the end. So, this was what it felt like to be betrayed by a loved one. But what could she do? She could only hope that Shen Yameng still had a shred of sympathy to compensate her for the years of her youth that had been wasted.
However, how could Shen Yameng pay attention to her? What a dream of hers! He gave up an innocent woman and a clean marriage and insisted on destroying someone else’s family. He even wanted to kick his wife away and reach the top in one step. How was this possible? No one would sympathize with such a woman, no one…
In the afternoon, Lin Wanli returned to the Huo Family. When she entered the door, she saw Yun Shujing, who was in low spirits, and she frowned fiercely. Because she met Yun Shujing’s gaze, she knew that she was about to get into trouble.
“As the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family, you didn’t return home all night and went to the suspect’s house to wander around. Is that reasonable?” Yun Shujing looked at Lin Wanli and questioned, “Or is it that you find it especially easy to resonate with a woman like Shen Yameng?”
“Of course, the first wife always cares more about the first wife.” Lin Wanli replied with a fake smile, “Besides, Aunt Shu, you should worry more about the relationship between your children. Don’t always stare at other people’s daughter-in-law and force her. My husband didn’t even comment on this matter. Aren’t you being too nosy?”
“You are indeed sharp-tongued.”
“Since you know that you won’t be able to get any benefits from me, dont deliberately come here to be cheap.” After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli walked through the large living room and headed straight for the second floor.
Yun Shujing took a deep breath and felt her head ache even more.
Indeed, she couldn’t gain any advantage over Huo Jiuxiao and his wife.
After Lin Wanli returned to her room, she saw Master Xiao standing in front of her wardrobe and choosing clothes. She walked over and crossed her arms as she leaned against the wardrobe. [Didn’t you ask me to wear your shirt?]
“There’s a dinner party tonight.” [There’s another show?]
“I’m just joking.”
This phrase was Huo Weichen’s pet phrase. Since Master Xiao said that, it must have something to do with that scumbag.
Huo Jiuxiao took out a black dress from the closet, but Lin Wanli threw it on the floor. She took off her coat, put her arms around Huo Jiuxiao’s waist, and looked up slightly.
[Didn’t you say that I neglected you for the whole night?]
“I don’t want.” Master Xiao did not move and teased her on purpose.
[You really don’t want it?]
“I don’t want to.”
Lin Wanli nodded her head and withdrew from his embrace. Then, she grabbed his shirt and walked towards the bathroom.
[Then I’m leaving…]
However, before she could enter the bathroom, the man carried her up by the waist. “I didn’t sleep last night. You have to compensate me.”
At this time, at 3:30 in the afternoon, Huo Zizhen woke up from the hospital bed and found out about everything that had happened in the Huo Family’s ancestral hall last night. Huo Jiuxiao had made public the fact that Huo Weichen had hired someone to kill her, but after the trial, Huo Weichen had not received any punishment. She even knew that Yun Shujing had personally destroyed the ancestral hall’s many years of management in order to protect Huo Weichen.
What a loving mother and son pair.
Thinking of what Yun Shujing had said to her that day, Huo Zizhen secretly clenched her fists again. It turned out that she was the only one who had been abandoned in the family of four.
“Don’t just lie here and hate him. You should recall all the evidence related to Huo Weichen. Don’t you know what he’s been doing outside all these years?” Xing Guan sat beside her and asked.
“You have to sleep with all kinds of women every day, or you’ll go crazy. He’s good at seducing all kinds of women, so I can’t tell if the woman who appeared in his room was really unwilling or just playing hard to get.” Huo Zizhen said.
“Have you never thought that he might be using women to achieve his own goals?”
Huo Zizhen had always thought that Huo Weichen was really bad, so she had played along with him. But now, she was the only one who was innocent and cute.
“Do you still remember the identities of those women?”
“Let me think about it. I must have missed something important.” Huo Zizhen could not believe that she knew so little about Huo Weichen. “I know you want to avenge your sister, but when it comes to relationships, especially when they’re still in the Huo Family, it’s very difficult to convict Huo Weichen. So, we have to find Huo Weichen’s real weakness and hit him in one blow. Then, we can get revenge for the harm he did to the woman. Even something like him killing me can be dealt with coldly. Do you think the Huo Family really cares about him playing with women?”
Xing Guan was speechless.
“Do you think it’s cheaper to admit your mistake or to cover up a scandal in a wealthy family?”
“I know you look down on me, but I’m a girl. If I don’t go with the flow, do you think I’ll become the second Huo Jiuxiao? I’m not that tough.” Huo Zizhen’s words meant that she could only follow fate.
“You can choose now.”
“Choose what? Abandon the dark for the light? Hahaha… Xing Guan, can you not be so naive?” Huo Zizhen laughed self-deprecatingly, laughing so hard that tears were about to fall..
