Having finished speaking, Huo Jingshen strode over to Su Wanwan. His sharp gaze quickly swept over her from top to bottom. Then he placed his hand on her shoulder, asking softly, “Are you alright?”
Su Wanwan just kept looking at him.
In fact, from the moment he entered the room, her eyes had never strayed from his face.
She was surprised.
Astonished.
And slightly flabbergasted.
She really didn’t expect him to come.
Even earlier, when she felt most alone and helpless, she hadn’t considered he might come.
But at this moment, when he really did burst through the door and stand before her, like a god descended from the heavens, his deep, dark eyes filled with care and warmth as he looked at her…
It was as if someone tore a hole in her heart, and something seeped in, causing an achy pain. Her nose felt sour, and her eyes began to ache as well.
She suddenly dropped her head, sniffing, then opened her eyes wide, forcing the suspicion welling up in them to evaporate.
Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, and his hand on her shoulder tightened.
The little girl was being wronged.
Usually, she was always making a fuss, arguing with everything and everyone. When has she ever felt so wronged before?
Looking up, his voice turned noticeably colder, “Before the facts are clear, the older generation here has been overwhelming the younger, taking advantage, isn’t it a bit improper?”
His gaze slowly swept over everyone’s faces, pausing briefly at the hospital bed, his glare sharp and icy.
Su Yanyan felt a jolt in her heart and couldn’t stop shaking.
But she quickly reassured herself.
What was there to be scared of?
What could Huo Jingshen do after coming here?
The fact that Su Wanwan pushed her down the stairs resulting in the loss of her child was irrefutable!
“Ashen”. Huo Qinyu, who had remained neutral, finally spoke, “The child in Yanyan’s belly suddenly disappeared. The elders are just acting hastily because they can’t accept it, so they summoned Wanwan…”
“Even under the law, the convicted have the right to a lawyer, to voice appeals, and defend themselves. They do not stand here, outnumbered, and speechless.”, Huo Jingshen’s voice was low, cold and serious.
His words were clearly laden with accusations.
Huo Qinyu was immediately struck dumb.
After all, Su Wanwan had come alone today, and compared to everyone else in the room, it did look like they were collectively bullying her…
Huo Jingshen continued, “I will not cover up for my wife, but, I hope all the elders can find out the truth.”
Having said that, he looked toward the door, “Come in.”
At his command, the crowd in the hallway began to file into the room.
Leading the group was Mingzhu, Ye Qitian, and Nangong Ci, followed by a few others. One had a microphone, and another carried a camera, looking like a journalist.
Seeing Su Wanwan, Ye Qitian’s eyes lit up, “Little junior sister!”
He wanted to rush over, but Mingzhu held him back.
“Humph.” Su Yuntang couldn’t help but snort, “You say we’re bullying the fewer with the many, what do you mean by this, Mr. Huo?”
Good grief, there were even more people who came to back him up than were originally in the room!
Who was he trying to intimidate with such a show of force?
Huo Jingshen glanced at him then turned to Ye Qitian.
With a nod, he signaled him.
Who’d have thought Ye Qitian would snort and turn his head petulantly.
He didn’t want to speak.
This brat! Mingzhu took advantage of her grip to give him a good pinch.
“Yikes—”
Under his auntie’s domineering presence, Ye Qitian immediately recited as quickly as if he was reading from a textbook, “My name is Ye Qitian. I’m an artist under Huanyu Media, and I’m Wanwan’s senior from Los Angeles. We’re just friends. That day we just went to the bar for drinks, and I sent her home a little past nine. That is the end of my explanation.”
After speaking, everyone’s expressions didn’t seem to have changed much.
Mingzhu laughed and added, “What you may not know is that Qitian is my nephew, so from a generational perspective, he should actually be calling Wanwan sister-in-law.”
Sister-in-law?
This time, not only Su Wanwan, but everyone else was taken aback.
Ye Qitian was even more frustrated.
After the magazine incident was exposed, he didn’t take it seriously; his agency was even happy about it. After all, a newly-signed artist could make it to the cover of “Entertainment Weekly”. It was like a side promotion to boost his popularity!
Unexpectedly, his mother in Los Angeles suddenly called him out of the blue. He found out that his junior sister’s husband was his aunt’s nephew, meaning according to generations and age, he had to call Huo Jingshen his big brother and his junior sister, his sister-in-law.
Damn it! His poor first love was nipped in the bud even before it had a chance to sprout!
Not only that, but Huo Jingshen invited Mingzhu over to explain things and even brought in several key persons from his company, including the editor-in-chief of “Entertainment Weekly”.
The motive of Sima Zhao is plain for all to see!
It was clear that they wanted to cut off his retreat!
Mingzhu was still explaining, “My sister’s family emigrated early. Qitian has been living in Los Angeles for many years, so it’s understandable that the older generations are not clear about these connections. However, with the magazine incident and the rumors, my sister was really upset, so she specifically asked me to come and clarify in front of the press and staff of Huanyu Media. We hope there won’t be any more misunderstandings.”
Except for the Su and Xing families, everyone else immediately nodded, expressing their understanding.
“Even if what happened in the magazine was a misunderstanding.” The voice of old master Xing suddenly rang out, “My daughter-in-law lost her child because of Wanwan. Surely, this incident can’t also be a misunderstanding, right?”
Huo Jingshen said, “For this matter, it would be more direct to ask the person involved.”
After saying this, he looked at Su Yanyan. “Miss Su, about the pregnancy, would you like to admit it yourself, or shall we let Dr. Zhou explain it?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions were somewhat puzzled.
Su Yanyan, however, instantly panicked. Even her voice was trembling, “What…what do you mean by that?”
Jiang Yi immediately stood up, striving to stay calm. “Mr. Huo, my daughter recently had a miscarriage. Naturally, Dr. Zhou is aware of this.”
“Really?” Huo Jingshen slightly raised his thin lips, “Ashen, when did Dr. Zhou arrive?”
Upon hearing this nickname, Nangong Ci’s handsome face twitched uncontrollably.
Good grief, can’t they just be good friends in peace anymore?
Calling him “mistress” in front of so many people?
Did he, the deputy dean, not care about his dignity at all?
Huo Jingshen cast a cold glance at him. Nangong Ci immediately surrendered, “Alright. She is here.”
With a disapproving click of his tongue, he turned aside, allowing Dr. Zhou to walk in.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Dr. Zhou walked in with her head down, trembling slightly. “My name is Zhou Rong. I’m an OB-GYN here and also Miss Su’s attending physician. Actually, Miss Su was not pregnant at all…”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Su Yanyan screamed to interrupt her, “You’re lying. I was pregnant. I really was! You’re lying…”
Jiang Yi’s eyes widened, her face deathly pale.
She never imagined Dr. Zhou would suddenly confess!
Before she could react, Dr. Zhou continued, “Jiang Yi and I were high school classmates. Two months ago, she asked me to make a fake pregnancy test for Miss Su. I didn’t think much of it at the time, decided to help an old classmate out. I never thought it would escalate to this point. I’m at fault. I messed up. I’m willing to bear all the consequences and resign from the hospital. I’m sorry.”
After she finished, she gave everyone a bow, “I swear to God, everything I said is true. I’m sorry.”
The hospital room instantly became ominously quiet.
All the elders in the room were too shocked to speak.
Especially Su Xueqin; he couldn’t believe his own ears.
Su Yanyan faked her pregnancy?
How was that possible?
Just before, he had slapped Wanwan for the first time, for her, for the child she had supposedly lost…
“Yanyan!” Su Yuntang was the first to react, sternly questioning, “You, tell us, is what Dr. Zhou said true or not?”
Su Yanyan’s face was already deathly pale.
With her lies exposed, she was panicked and afraid and for a moment, was unable to utter a word.
“Jiang Yi!” Su Yuntang turned to his wife, “You tell us!”
“I…” Jiang Yi was also panicking.
The incident happened too suddenly; she hadn’t had time to think of how to respond.
“So, staying quiet means admitting it, right?” Nangong Ci’s voice sounded out carelessly.
Su Yanyan recoiled as if awoken from a dream, “No, it’s not true. She’s lying to you!”
Then, she suddenly pointed at Su Wanwan, “It’s her! It must be her! She intentionally asked Huo Jingshen to come over. Their relationship with this deputy dean is good.. They must have conspired to frame me! Yes, it must be that way! They did it on purpose!”
