Chapter 111: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 111: Mr. Huo, Your Task is to Make a Lot of Money

"In Qingzhou! You two?" Huo Xingjian immediately caught the key point. "Why didn’t you tell me?"

He was... a little upset.

He had carefully prepared a Valentine's gift, but now his wife wasn’t even around. Who was he supposed to give the gift to?

He had planned everything to win her over, and she had quietly left for Qingzhou without a word!

A sense of frustration built up inside him, and he felt an urge to reach through the phone and give her a good scolding.

"Sister-in-law, is it my brother?" Huo Yushu's voice came through.

Then...

"Here, you answer. He has something to ask you." Shen Cheng handed the phone to Huo Yushu.

Huo Xingjian: ...

Indeed, he had something to ask Huo Yushu. He needed to ask her properly.

What a great little sister she was—she managed to steal his wife away, and not only that, but took her so far away without even telling him.

"Brother, Sister-in-law and I..."

"In Qingzhou?" Huo Xingjian interrupted, each word coming through clenched teeth. But remembering Zhang Hui’s suggestion, he suppressed the rising anger. "Why so sudden? You couldn’t have at least given me a heads-up?"

"Ah, I forgot." Huo Yushu sounded apologetic but quickly cheered up. "Don’t worry, brother, I’ll take good care of Sister-in-law. I’ll make sure to bring her back home safe and sound."

"Brother, you..."

"Which hotel are you staying at?" Huo Xingjian interrupted again, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

"Brother, are you coming over?" Huo Yushu sounded surprised. "We’re at..."

"We’ve got stuff to do. We won’t talk anymore." Before she could finish, Shen Cheng snatched the phone back and said flatly to Huo Xingjian, "Mr. Huo, just focus on working and making money. That’s it."

"Shen Cheng... beep"

Shen Cheng hung up the phone without giving him a chance to speak.

Frustrated, Huo Xingjian kicked the car door hard.

"Sister-in-law, did my brother upset you again?" Huo Yushu asked cautiously, watching her.

Shen Cheng didn’t respond.

[When doesn’t he upset me? Just that mess with Li Qingxue... I can’t even be bothered to be angry about it.]

[Don’t think just because he’s acting all nice now that I’m going to forgive him. No way!]

Oh!

Huo Yushu finally understood.

It was the phone call from Li Qingxue that caused all this trouble.

Yep! That whole mess with Li Qingxue was definitely worth getting upset about.

This man shouldn’t be forgiven so easily. He needed to be left hanging for a while to reflect on his actions.

"Sister-in-law, I’m definitely on your side. Let’s not forgive him. Leave him to think about his mistakes!"

"Now that we’re doing well, we’re practically little rich women, who needs him? We can make better choices. A man shouldn’t be spoiled. The moment he messes up, sink him to the bottom of the river and let him never see the light of day!"

"Let’s go, let’s have fun. Forget about my brother. We’ll swipe his card and spend his money. No, wait! We’ll spend the money of that clueless old man of mine!"

Huo Yushu said with a laugh, "Watch how I’ll dig his money bit by bit. If he wants to support the Huo Yuyan family of three, he can dream on!"

"Seems like you’ve got a lot of issues with them lately!" Shen Cheng observed.

Huo Yushu nodded vigorously, her expression serious. "Of course! How could I not? They’ve been so obvious about it!"

Then, with a mysterious look, Huo Yushu whispered, "Sister-in-law, I’m going to tell you something serious. I suspect Huo Xinglang and Huo Yuyan’s identities."

"Suspect what about them?" Shen Cheng asked.

"Hmph!" Huo Yushu scoffed, "I suspect that they’re my dad’s illegitimate children, that he and Yu Fengcai secretly had them."

Shen Cheng: "……!!"

[Wow! Your suspicion is spot on! They are indeed your scummy father’s illegitimate children.]

[Looks like my little sister-in-law’s mind has finally opened up. I didn’t think she’d start thinking in this direction!]

Huo Yushu raised an immensely proud smile.

Of course! It was all thanks to her sister-in-law. Her mind had only cleared up because of her.

Not just her—everyone in the family had finally woken up. Otherwise, they would still be kept in the dark by those disgusting people, not even knowing how they’d be taken advantage of.

"First, if he didn’t have an affair with Yu Fengcai, why would he treat her so well? Better than how you treat my mom! Every time something happens, he always sides with Yu Fengcai first."

"Second, Huo Xinglang and Huo Yuyan are both raised by him. Even Huo Xinglang’s position at Wen’s was arranged by him."

"If they’re not his illegitimate children, why would he care so much?"

"Third, don’t you think Huo Yuyan looks more and more like my scummy dad? Huo Xinglang looks more like Yu Fengcai, but that’s hard to tell."

"But has anyone ever seen an uncle treat his niece or nephew better than his own children?"

"Based on all this, I’m 99% sure that they’re my scummy dad’s illegitimate children. So, I can’t let them benefit from this."

"If he didn’t marry my mom, would he have achieved all this? His money—it’s all ours. I need to take it back bit by bit. I can’t let that brother and sister get anything."

Huo Yushu said seriously.

"Huo Yuyan, that ungrateful ingrate, has been living off me all these years—eating my food, using my things—but she’s been stabbing me in the back every chance she gets."

"Don’t think I don’t know. Last time, when she introduced that guy named Xie to me, I saw through it right away."

"I’m awake now! I can tell that they’ve been together for a long time. But they still sent that scumbag to try to seduce me—weren’t they hoping he would follow my scummy dad’s path?"

"Am I that gullible? Sister-in-law, don’t you think so?"

Shen Cheng smiled warmly at her. "Not bad, Yushu. Your mind really has clicked into place. You’re not as clueless as before."

Huo Yushu grinned, affectionately leaning her head on Shen Cheng’s shoulder. "It’s all thanks to you, sister-in-law. You’ve brought my mind back to normal. You’re my lifesaver now. From now on, I’ll listen to everything you say."

"Yes, my life is yours. You tell me to go east, I won’t go west. I’ll follow you entirely."

Upon hearing that, Shen Cheng looked at her in shock, almost not believing her ears.

"Sister-in-law, want to see a good show?" Huo Yushu grinned mischievously. "We’ll set up a stage, and a bunch of clowns will come jumping up to perform."

"What do you plan to do?" Shen Cheng asked.

Huo Yushu smiled mysteriously. "Just watch me."

……

At the hospital

Huo Yuyan cursed under her breath as she walked into the old lady’s hospital room, carrying a packed lunch. "Grandma, here’s your lunch."

Without even opening the box, she just placed it on the table, then plopped down into a chair and started scrolling through her phone.

It was while doing so that she saw Huo Yushu’s new WeChat Moments post:

— Dad loves me the most. A child with Dad is a treasure.
