Chapter 14’. 014, Mr. Huo Appears

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation , Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Deep into the night.

In a bedroom on the second floor of a villa in Lishui Bay, a sudden shrill ring

from a cell phone shattered the quiet.

Mo Weiyi picked it up and glanced at it before quickly hanging up.

“Why aren’t you answering?” There was a hint of annoyance in the man’s deep and indifferent voice.

“Insurance salesperson…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang again.

Mo Weiyi, cursing, “Shameless,” hung up once more.

When the ringtone persisted for the third time, the phone was swiftly snatched away.

Seeing the three characters “Xing Yuyun” on the screen, Xiao Yebai threw the phone back coldly, “Get it over within a minute.”

Mo Weiyi had no choice but to answer, her tone was exceptionally rude, “Hello, scumbag, don’t you have any manners calling in the middle of the night?

Xing Yuyun remained unfazed, “Hello Miss Mo, this is Xing Yuyun. I have a few things I’d like to inquire about.”

“If it’s about Wanwan, rest assured, I won’t tell you anything.”

“Miss Mo.” Xing Yuyun interrupted, “I only want to know when did Wanwan

meet my cousin?”

“Who?” Mo Weiyi didn’t understand who he was referring to right away.

“Huo Jingshen.”

Huo Jingshen?

Mo Weiyi responded with a long “oh” and swiftly turned the gears in her head. “Yanyan told me that Wanwan was with you last night, but from what I know, someone else was with her. I knowyou and Wanwan are best friends, you must know everything about her. I have no other intentions, I just want to know what the current relationship between Wanwan and Huo Jingshen is.

After leaving the Su Family, Xing Yuyun couldn’t figure out the reasons behind Su Wanwan’s sudden change of attitude. The only possibility was…

“Yeah, what about it? Regretting your decisions after seeing Wanwan with a new prospective suitor, are you?”

Xing Yuyun:

He didn’t want to admit it, but seeing Su Wanwan quickly establishing a relationship with another man stirred up mixed feelings within Xing Yuyun.

Especially when that man was Huo Jingshen…

Before he could respond, Mo Weiyi unleashed a string of curses at him, “Let me tell you something, scumbag, ever since you cheated and got involved with Su Yanyan, Wanwan has had nothing to do with you!

You have no say in who Wanwan is with now! You don’t have the right to interfere!

I wonder, who do you think you are, Xing Yuyun? Who gave you such confidence to toy with Wanwan s feelings?

You wouldn’t even be in your current position if it weren’t for your support from the back. Isn’t it common knowledge in Nancheng who your Xing family relies on?

Do you fancy yourself some kind of royalty? Pah! Without the Huo Family, what’s the worth of your Xing Family?

And you, the most you are is just a grandson-in-law to the Huo Family. What do you have to compete with Huo Jingshen?

Huo Jingshen is the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. Their patriarch highly regards him. I’ve heard that he’s already taking over Huo Yuan Real Estate. The entire Huo Yuan Group will sooner or later fall into his hands.

So I’d advise you to take a good look at yourself and understand your limitations. What exactly makes you think that you are comparable to Huo

Jingshen?

If you dare to harass Wanwan again, be careful, I might expose those shameless pictures of you and Lai Na, showing your true colors to everyone in the Su Family. So you and Su Yanyan won’t be able to get engaged!

After that, without waiting for Xing Yuyun to react, she quickly hung up the phone.

Finally having the chance to reprimand the scumbag and help Wanwan vent her resentment, what a relief!

The next day, Su Wanwan arrived at the hospital early in the morning. It was only after Su Xueqin had finished breakfast with Su Wanwan that Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan finally arrived.

Reproaching herself for being pre-empted by Su Wanwan again, Su Yanyan hurried over, calling out to her grandfather in a sweet and delicate tone.

But Su Xueqin kept his head down, focusing on his newspaper, not raising his head or uttering a single word as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

“Grandpa, Dad has an important meeting this morning and can’t make it. He especially asked Mom and me to pick you up from the hospital…”

Su Xueqin’s head remained down.

Su Yanyan, embarrassed and annoyed, was about to speak again… “Yanyan.” Jiang Yi held back her daughter. “Go, help your grandfather tidy up the things on the sofa.”

“But mom…”

“Just go!” Jiang Yi signaled with her eyes and emphasized her words.

Left with no choice, Yanyan obediently went to clean up the items.

Su Wanwan couldn’t bear to witness the mother-daughter duo’s flattery and stood up to say, “Grandfather, I’ll go handle the discharge procedure.” Old Master Su immediately looked up, “Why the hurry? Let them handle it, you just sit here and rest!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes twitched slightly, and Yanyan’s face instantly went pale.

The drastic change in the old man’s attitude was simply too apparent.

Su Wanwan smiled, “That’s fine. I need to get some fresh air anyway and they can clean up for you.”

Old Master Su read his granddaughter’s impatience and could only nod,

“Alright, off you go.”

Su Wanwan arrived at the office only to find it empty.

“Miss Su, please wait a moment. I’ll rush the deputy director.” The nurse left after uttering these words.

Su Wanwan stood there, scanning the entire office.

The office had a modern decor, equipped with a separate lounge and balcony.

The balcony even had a recliner and various plants…

Luxurious indeed, but… why was there a faint smell of smoke?

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Someone was knocking on the door.

Su Wanwan turned around, surprised to see Xing Yuyun entering.

“Wanwan.”

“Mr. Xing, it seems you got my title wrong?”

Xing Yuyun suppressed his temper, “I have a question for you.”

“Ask me?” Su Wanwan looked at him, overly dramatic, “Your fiancee and mother-in-law are downstairs. Are you sure you’re not looking for the wrong person, brother-in-law?”

She dragged the two syllables of “brother-in-law” unusually long, laced with heavy sarcasm.

“SU Wanwan.” Provoked by her mockery, Xing Yuyun’s tone hardened, “I want to ask you, on the night of our return to the country, did you spend the night with Huo Jingshen?”

“Are you f* eking stupid?”

Profanity slipped out of her mouth flippantly.

Huo Jingshen? What the hell was he talking about?

Persistent like a damn fly and making no sense!

“Why did he answer when I called your mobile? Why was your phone in his possession?” Xing Yuyun continued to press.

Looking at him as if he was an idiot, Su Wanwan asked, “And then?

Seeing her implicitly admit, Xing Yuyun instantly lost his composure.

If Mo Weiyi had greatly wounded his male ego, then Su Wanwan’s attitude was only rubbing salt into the wound.

He blurted out in a burst of anger, “I just want to warn you, Huo Jingshen is not a good man. He’s been overseas for nearly 20 years. His parents have passed away early, and he is known to be aloof. His sudden return to the country is seen as suspicious, even by his own family. They find his personality strange and difficult to get along with. This wealthy overseas-based man has very liberal views, and he is notorious for seducing young women and manipulating relationships. I heard he has had many women in Y Country, and his private life is quite chaotic. You’re young and naive, and I think he’s completely unsuitable for you. He… He’s just too old…”

“So, it turns out I, Huo Jingshen, am an old man who specializes in manipulating relationships.”

The unexpected deep male voice gave Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan a start. Turning around, they saw a figure standing on the balcony.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black suit trousers, his sleeves half rolled up. One hand was tucked into the trouser pocket, while the other hung loosely by his side, holding a half-smoked cigarette between his slender fingers. Despite his casual appearance, the cold gaze beneath his eyes sent chills up their spines..
