In the bedroom on the second floor of a villa at Lishui Bay, late at night.
A cell phone ringtone blared in the quiet room. Mo Weiyi glanced 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 so late 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 you last night, Miss Mo, but as far as I know, there should be someone else who was with Wanwan last 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 relationship 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 relationship 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 play with Wanwan’s feelings?
Where did your current status come 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 relative? 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 be compared 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 or later.
So kindly take a good look in the mirror and understand your value. How can you possibly be compared 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 not come 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 displaying, 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 accompany 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 to come 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 plants 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 fiancée and mother-in-law are both downstairs. Are you looking for the wrong person, Brother-in-law?”
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 eccentric 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 relationships to play 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 playing 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 black 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.
