Chapter 119: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 119: Shen Cheng, The Grapes You Forcibly Picked Aren't Sweet! Let Go.

Huo Yushu gritted her teeth, suppressing the impulse to kill Huo Yuyan, and coldly reprimanded her, "Yuyan, have you lost your mind? It's this moment, and you want my sister-in-law to drink coffee?"

"Do you want to poison my nephew? How could your heart be so black, so vicious!"

"Nephew?!" Huo Yuyan looked at Shen Cheng in shock. "You... you're pregnant?"

Shen Cheng facepalmed.

【Huo Yushu, I really have to thank you! You sure know how to pour fuel on the fire!】

Huo Yushu stood up, walked to Huo Yuyan's side, and continued glaring at her angrily.

But her body conveniently blocked the two cups of coffee on the table.

She grabbed Huo Yuyan by the arm, gave her a rough pat, and with one hand blocking the view, she swiftly and subtly switched her own cup of coffee with Huo Yuyan's.

Now, let's talk a bit about Huo Yuyan.

From a young age, she was good at putting on a facade, always managing to make Mrs. Wen and her son smile from ear to ear.

In order to get closer to Huo Yushu, and make Wen Yintong, Huo Xingjian, and even Old Master Wen like her more, she always bought things that were the same as Huo Yushu’s, whether it was clothes or food.

Whenever she was with Huo Yushu, she would always buy two of the same thing.

Perhaps out of long-term habit, today she had also ordered the same cappuccino as Huo Yushu.

This made it easy for Huo Yushu to swap the two cups of coffee without any effort, and Huo Yuyan didn’t even notice.

"My brother and my sister-in-law have been married for three years now. Their romantic two-person world is pretty much over. They’re planning for a baby! And here you are, offering my sister-in-law coffee. What are you up to, Huo Yuyan?" Huo Yushu said angrily.

"Huh?!" Huo Yuyan was shocked again and quickly apologized. "Sorry, sorry! I didn’t know that my second brother and sister-in-law were trying for a baby. It’s all my fault!"

At this moment, Huo Yuyan absolutely didn’t want to cause any trouble. She immediately accepted whatever Huo Yushu said.

Her mind was focused on one thing: getting Huo Yushu to drink the coffee, so she could send her to the room that had been specially prepared for her.

As for Shen Cheng, she’d have to figure out a way to get rid of her.

Huo Yushu understood exactly what Huo Yuyan was thinking, so she went along with her.

She picked up the coffee in front of her and said, "Since you’ve apologized sincerely, I’ll forgive you. But if there’s a next time, I won’t be so kind."

"Now, you’ll apologize to my sister-in-law properly with this coffee, as if it were alcohol," she said, sipping her coffee.

Seeing Huo Yushu drink the coffee, Huo Yuyan felt incredibly pleased and excited inside.

Great! Today would be Huo Yushu’s downfall.

She picked up her own coffee and raised it to Shen Cheng, saying with sincerity, "Sister-in-law, I apologize to you with this coffee, as if it were alcohol. I spoke out of turn, and I hope you won’t hold it against me."

Afterward, she took a sip.

【Well, she dug her own pit, now she has to jump in. Huo Yushu finally had some sense, realizing Huo Yuyan was up to no good.】

【Finally, I didn’t do all this for nothing. I know exactly how to return that special coffee to Huo Yuyan’s lips.】

【Next, it’s up to Huo Yushu to retaliate. I also need to find an excuse to leave. Otherwise, I’ll be making it too easy for Huo Yuyan to come up with a reason to get me out of here. That would be really forcing my hand.】

[It’s just that I’m not sure if Huo Yushu can handle it on her own.]

Yes! Yes!

Huo Yushu nodded repeatedly, almost as if she was about to tell Shen Cheng herself.

"Sis-in-law, didn’t you say you had something to do? If so, why don’t you go ahead first?" Huo Yushu said with a bright smile, "Yuyan and I rarely run into each other here, so let’s chat a little longer."

"Sis-in-law, we’ll meet at the hotel later. Tonight, we’ll go to the most famous night market in Qingzhou and shop for treasures."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Yuyan quickly responded, "Sis-in-law, if you’re busy, go ahead. Yushu and I will chat a little more."

So, Shen Cheng was "sent away" by Huo Yushu.

With a face that seemed to say "life is hopeless," Shen Cheng walked out of the elevator and towards the hotel’s main entrance, not sure where she should go.

After all, she wasn’t familiar with the area!

As soon as she stepped out of the hotel door, she saw Xie Shaoheng getting out of a taxi not far away.

Their eyes met.

Xie Shaoheng froze for a moment, clearly not expecting to run into Shen Cheng at the hotel entrance.

But Shen Cheng, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, the corner of her lips curved into an intriguing smile as she looked at him.

At this moment, Xie Shaoheng was caught in a dilemma.

Leaving was not an option, nor was walking towards the hotel.

After a brief hesitation, he decided to walk towards the hotel entrance.

"Mrs. Huo, what a coincidence?" Xie Shaoheng greeted her with a friendly and polite smile.

"Coincidence?" Shen Cheng looked at him with a smile that seemed neither here nor there. "I thought Mr. Xie knew that Yushu and I were here and specially came to meet us."

Hearing this, Xie Shaoheng’s smile froze for a brief moment.

"Mrs. Huo is joking. I just happened to have a meeting with some friends here at the hotel. Is Yushu also here?" Xie Shaoheng stubbornly tried to cover up.

Shen Cheng still smiled as if she were basking in spring, "Yes, not just Yushu. Mr. Xie’s dear friend, Huo Yuyan, is also here. Do you need me to tell you their exact location?"

"Thanks for your kindness, Mrs. Huo, but no need," Xie Shaoheng politely refused. "I’m not free to greet them now. My friend is waiting for me."

"Oh," Shen Cheng responded with a neutral tone, "Then I won’t disturb Mr. Xie."

With that, she stepped forward.

"Mrs. Huo." Xie Shaoheng called out to her.

"Is there something else?" Shen Cheng turned to look at him.

Xie Shaoheng took a deep breath, putting on a difficult-to-make decision expression. "Mrs. Huo, I’m not trying to meddle, but forcing things that don’t work out never ends well."

"You're so beautiful and outstanding, Mrs. Huo. Why cling to one person?"

"Sometimes, when you look around, you’ll find that there are better people worth loving. But if you insist on one thing, one person, you’ll just end up hurting yourself."

"Mrs. Huo, do you understand what I’m saying?"

He looked at her with a kind-hearted expression.

Shen Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, speaking directly, "You mean, I should stay away from Huo Xingjian, and let go of being Mrs. Huo, giving the position to Li Qingxue, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shaoheng froze again.

Although that was exactly what he meant, hearing it said so blatantly, especially by Shen Cheng herself, made him feel as though he had been caught in the act, and it was quite embarrassing.

"I wonder if this is Li Qingxue’s idea, or yours, Mr. Xie?" Shen Cheng asked with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Xie Shaoheng was about to speak when suddenly, a figure rushed toward them. Before he could react, the figure kicked him hard.
