Chapter 25: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 25: If You Dare Divorce, I’ll Disown You as My Son!
The scoundrel acted as though he hadn’t "heard" anything, still wearing a smug expression as if "everything he said was the truth."
He shifted his hand, which had been holding Shen Cheng's wrist, to her waist, pulling her even closer to him.
[This scoundrel is taking advantage of me!]
Shen Cheng wrapped her arm around his waist and then... squeezed his side and twisted hard.
[Let’s see how you’ll lie with your eyes open and take advantage of me! I’m not your obedient little dog anymore! I just want to get away from you! If I can't strangle you, at least I’ll make you feel it!]
But Huo Xingjian quickly tensed the muscle in his waist.
Shen Cheng felt the flesh she was twisting immediately harden, making it impossible to twist any further.
[So, you can stiffen up, huh? Well, I’ll try squeezing your arm instead!]
She reached out and grabbed his arm, squeezing it with all her strength.
But the muscle was just as hard, and she couldn’t make it budge!
Frustrated, she wanted nothing more than to rip that hard muscle off.
Unfortunately, this scoundrel was still protecting her in front of Yu Fengcai. She couldn’t just lose face in front of her.
In the end, it was Huo Yunshan who went to help Yu Fengcai.
As for Wen Yintong, she merely gave a cold, disdainful laugh.
After learning about the disgusting relationship between Huo Yunshan and Yu Fengcai, her disgust for the man grew, and she no longer felt even a trace of concern or sadness towards him.
After Yu Fengcai and Huo Yunshan left, Shen Cheng immediately lifted her foot and stomped hard on Huo Xingjian's instep.
"Hiss!" Huo Xingjian let out a low cry, "Shen Cheng, are you trying to murder your own husband?"
"Tch!" Shen Cheng scoffed coldly, "Soon to be ex-husband!"
"Ex-husband is still a husband! Besides, you're not one yet!" Huo Xingjian ignored her, speaking with emphasis.
Wen Yintong slapped him on the back of his neck, "Try divorcing Cheng and see what happens!"
Huo Yushu nodded in agreement, "Brother, try it and see! Don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare hurt Sister-in-law, then you’d better leave our family!"
"We can live without you, but we can never live without Sister-in-law! Your only role now is being her family member!"
[What’s going on? When did I become so important to them?] Shen Cheng thought, feeling quite puzzled.
"Come with me!" Wen Yintong glared at Huo Xingjian and said solemnly, "I have something to discuss with you. Yushu, stay with your sister-in-law."
"Okay, Mom!"
The mother and son walked toward Huo Xingjian’s study.
Although Huo Xingjian and Shen Cheng no longer lived here, his old room and study were still kept for him.
In the Study
"Let's talk," Wen Yintong said, her expression serious as she looked at him.
Huo Xingjian frowned, his face heavy. "I’ve already asked Zhang Hui to investigate Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue’s situation."
"I never imagined their family could be so vile and disgusting!" Wen Yintong said, full of disdain, "In any case, we can’t let them succeed."
"Everything they have now is from our Wen family. Since we know Huo Xinglang’s true nature, you must be extra careful. We cannot let him have any chances."
Huo Xingjian nodded. "I know. I won’t give him a chance. We'll start with Rongjingyuan and make him pay step by step."
"Rongjingyuan?" Wen Yintong was puzzled, "Are they planning to target Rongjingyuan?"
"Mm." Huo Xingjian sneered. "He doesn't have the ability. I raised him and promoted him, so I know his methods all too well."
"Son, you mustn’t underestimate him," Wen Yintong said with concern. "After all, Huo Yunshan has been secretly training him for many years. He’s probably taught him a lot and given him many connections."
"Heh!" Huo Xingjian scoffed, unconcerned. "His abilities are insignificant. If he were really capable, why would Grandpa almost hand over the company to him, only for him to nearly ruin it?"
"The only thing he’s good at is buttering up people. As for work, he's just average."
"In that sense, Huo Xinglang is just like him. He’s not capable, but he thinks highly of himself."
"Don’t worry, now that we know their true faces, they’ll have no chance."
Wen Yintong nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Huo Yunshan’s work abilities were average at best. When the company was handed over to him, it started to decline, almost collapsing.
It was the eighteen-year-old Huo Xingjian who stepped in to save the day, rebuilding the company piece by piece over three years.
Now, under his leadership, the company was stronger than ever.
That was why Huo Yunshan didn’t dare speak out against his son.
"Huo Xingjian, you and Shen Cheng..." Wen Yintong looked at him with a complicated expression. "Listen to your mother’s advice. Don’t give up on Shen Cheng."
"In the past, we didn’t treat her well, but from now on, treat her better. And you, it’s time to be punished."

"Don’t you dare divorce her! Do you hear me?" Her tone was commanding.
"If you dare divorce, I’ll disown you as my son!" Huo Xingjian was about to speak when Wen Yintong cut him off, speaking with authority.
"Mom, I’ve never thought about divorcing her," Huo Xingjian replied seriously. "Since I married her, I’ve never thought about changing wives. I’ve never been unfaithful in our marriage."
"Never?" Wen Yintong didn’t believe him. "With how concerned and nervous you are about Li Qingxue, do you expect me to believe you, or do you actually believe it yourself?"
"Mom..."
"Also, Shen Cheng said she had a high fever of 40 degrees, and you abandoned her to go on a date with Li Qingxue!" Wen Yintong raised her voice, slapping him hard on the back of his neck. "Huo Xingjian, you’ve got guts!"
"Did I teach you this? Did I teach you to be so fickle? Did I teach you to hurt your wife? If I hadn’t heard Shen Chengs voice, I wouldn’t have known that you’re such a scumbag!"
Wen Yintong now directly equated her son to a scumbag.
Huo Xingjian felt wronged!
He hadn’t done anything!
"I didn’t, Mom!" he quickly explained. "I didn’t leave her. I took her to the hospital, made sure the nurse gave her fever medication, and stayed with her in the ward."
"It was her own mistake, she misremembered."
"Then what about your date with Li Qingxue?" Wen Yintong questioned.
"Li Qingxue called me, and I just went out to answer the phone. How would I have known that she would think I abandoned her when she had a fever?" Huo Xingjian looked helpless and speechless.
"Don’t you have a mouth?" Wen Yintong slapped him on the head again. "You didn’t explain it to Chengzi? I gave birth to you with healthy limbs and senses! How could you choose to be mute?"
