Between Huo Weichen and Huo Zizhen, Yun Shujing chose Huo Weichen.
However, between Huo Weichen and Huo Shengyuan, she chose Huo Shengyuan again. All along, she thought that she treated her three children equally, but she did not expect that when it came to making a choice, she would side with one side without any hesitation.
Yun Shujing had indeed found a lawyer for Huo Weichen, but this lawyer had always been Huo Shengyuan’s personal lawyer. Now that he was Huo Weichen’s defense lawyer, the consequences were obvious.
“Your purpose is not to protect him, but to persuade him to plead guilty. It’s best to close the case as soon as possible with the least cost and with the least amount of information spread. Yun Shujing pleaded with the lawyer, “I know what I’m doing is unfair to Weichen, but I have to protect the Huo Family’s reputation now.”
The lawyer understood Yun Shujing’s intentions and nodded. “As far as I know,
Third Young Master isn’t that easy to fool.”
“No matter what method you use, as long as you can achieve my goal, it’s fine.”
The reason why Yun Shujing wanted to end things like this was not only because of the Huo Family’s reputation and Huo Shengyuan’s future but also because she had done a lot of dirty things over the years to clean up Huo Weichen’s mess. She was afraid that if the matter was exposed, she would be implicated in the end. She hadn’t seen Huo Shengyuan become the heir of the Huo Corporation, so she couldn’t go anywhere. She had to stay in the Huo Family and help him plan.
“If Madam wants to completely give up on Third Young Master, I don’t have any burden.” The lawyer said meaningfully. In fact, it was not difficult to make Huo Weichen plead guilty. He only needed some small tricks.
Yun Shujing and Huo Shengyuan did not expect that they had already started a full-scale internal strife and self-destruction mode. This was probably the charm of the butterfly effect.
Especially when Huo Zizhen found out that Huo Weichen had also been abandoned by Yun Shujing, she sat on the hospital bed and suddenly laughed out loud because she suddenly understood something. Actually, Yun Shujing did not have a mother’s love. She only looked like she loved a certain child more, but the truth was that this child carried her desire to have top power. Therefore, when Huo Weichen threatened Huo Shengyuan, she would sacrifice him without hesitation.
“Huo Weichen would never have dreamed that the person who sent him to prison in the end was the person who had always loved him and cleaned up his mess from the beginning to the end. Xing Guan, when Huo Weichen finds out the truth, will he go crazy?
“I’ll ‘take care’ of him all the way until he’s sentenced to prison. Then, I’ll let him understand what prison is.” If a man without a male identity went in, he would be a dog that allowed others to trample and humiliate him.
As for Yun Shujing, Huo Zizhen would soon personally present her ‘gift’.
Because Yun Shujing had deliberately concealed it, Huo Qingxiao still didn’t know that Huo Weichen had been arrested. During breakfast. aDart from instructing the few people who were going to Deer Terrace Pavilion to prepare early, he also noticed that Yun Shujing’s expression was unusually bad and there was a flicker in her eyes. Therefore, he was concerned. “Your health hasn’t been good recently. Don’t go out too much.”
“I understand.” Yun Shujing replied obediently.
“Also, Zizhen is getting married. She’s my only daughter, so I’ll transfer 3% of my shares to her as a wedding gift.”
This was something Yun Shujing did not expect. She was not used to her husband suddenly becoming so generous.
“As a mother, you have to remember to keep your promise.” Huo Qingxiao reminded Yun Shujing.
“Of course.”
It was only three percent. With the one percent she had, Huo Zizhen’s shares were almost equal to Huo Shengyuan’s. Fortunately, Huo Zizhen did not have that intention anymore. With these shares, Huo Zizhen could live a good life with Xing Guan even if she was crippled and in a wheelchair.
However, she did not see through the old fox’s real plan. The old fox knew Huo Zizhen’s intentions, so he took his 3% and transferred it to Huo Jiuxiao without any excuse. After all, who knew that Huo Zizhen would really do this?
As for Huo Weichen’s matter, he had to pretend that he didn’t know anything. He only asked his trusted aides to keep an eye on the public opinion and cooperate with Yun Shujing to suppress the news within a small circle. Because he only needed to do this to see Yun Shujing personally send her son to prison.
The butler watched as the old fox and the little fox plotted against Yun Shujing’s family of four and killed each other.
After breakfast, Mu Qingya was going to order a set of battle robes for the trip, so she politely asked Lin Wanli if she wanted to come along.
Lin Wanli shook her head. She wasn’t interested in those limited and high-end items.
Mu Qingya secretly thought that Lin Wanli didn’t understand. She thought that if Lin Wanli went, she would feel embarrassed. After all, who would want to discuss fashion with a poor bumpkin? However, she actually wanted Lin Wanli to agree. Then, she wanted to show Lin Wanli the difference between a rich girl and a poor girl.
Lin Wanli smiled but didn’t say anything because she understood Elder Hua’s character. If he was an old friend of Elder Hua, no matter what his identity was, he wouldn’t like those flashy things.
“If you have nothing to do, go out and see the world with Qingya. Don’t damage the Huo Family’s impression in front of the nobles because you’re short-sighted.” Yun Shujing interjected, “It’s fine if you don’t want to go, but if you go, you have to pay attention to your image. This is no longer a small place like Jinchuan.”
“I’ve already said it before. It’s best for Aunt Shu to focus on her own people. Especially last night’s incident. If it were to be exposed one day, who would be the one who would really be embarrassed?” Lin Wanli hinted to Yun Shujing as she drank her milk.
Yun Shujing’s expression changed when she heard that. She immediately went to observe Mu Qingya’s reaction.
Fortunately, Mu Qingya didn’t understand and didn’t ask further. Seeing this, Yun Shujing shouted at Lin Wanli in a low voice. “You’d better watch your mouth. Otherwise, I’ll put all the blame on you.”
Lin Wanli shrugged her shoulders and didn’t think much of it. Then, she put down the empty glass of milk in her hand and stood up from her seat.
Yun Shujing was so angry that her face turned red, but she did not dare to vent her anger. She kept thinking about where Lin Wanli, this little slut, got all this first-hand information. In order to prevent any more complications from arising, she immediately called her lavvyer after breakfast to urge Huo Weichen to apologize. Although she knew that this was pushing her son into prison, Lin Wanli’s hints always made her flustered. She was afraid that Huo Jiuxiao would set up a trap for her as well.
Actually, she wasn’t wrong. They were indeed going to be settled together, but not now.
Moreover, she definitely did not know how vicious she looked when she pushed her son into prison..
