Chapter 64: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 64: There's No Cure for Love Brain (1/2)
Huo Yushu smiled sweetly. “No way I’d let you pay! Go ahead and order whatever you want!”
Hearing this affirmative reply, everyone present broke into joyful smiles.
What a relief. Since Huo Yushu was treating, they could order freely. After all, she was like a fat pig ripe for the slaughter—always easy to exploit.
“Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat? Go ahead and order.” Huo Yushu looked at Shen Cheng with a tone of intimacy.
“Yushu,” Huo Yuyan pulled her aside and whispered, “Why did you bring her here? Don’t you hate her the most?”
“Oh, by the way, I heard that Sister Qingxue woke up. That’s wonderful news. Finally, she and Second Brother can get through this together.”
“Do you know what Second Brother is planning? When will he divorce Shen Cheng? In my opinion...”
“Yuyan, who’s that?” Huo Yushu interrupted her, pointing at a stranger sitting quietly in the corner of the private room.
The man was silent, reserved, with delicate features and rosy lips. He looked like a timid little rabbit freshly out of the nest, exuding an innocent charm that girls would find irresistible.
Huo Yuyan snapped back to reality and remembered the main reason she had sought out Huo Yushu today.
A mysterious smile spread across her face as she leaned close to Huo Yushu’s ear and whispered, “What do you think? Handsome, right? Different from how our two brothers are handsome?”
“No...”
[Oh no! They’ve already brought him here! And I didn’t even notice!]
[Xie Shaoheng, Huo Yuyan’s senior by two years. Comes from a family with an overbearing mother and a vain, snobbish sister. Despite his good looks, he’s a player.]
[He loves to use that pretty face of his to flirt with girls, picking and choosing carefully before setting his sights on Huo Yuyan.]
[After hearing about Huo Yushu from Huo Yuyan, the two hatched a plan to use his charm and lure the naive Huo Yushu into their trap.]
[This man has professional training from certain institutions, making him exceptionally skilled at seducing emotionally vulnerable girls.]
[How could Huo Yushu possibly match up? With Huo Yuyan aiding and abetting him, she fell for him in no time.]
[This brainless Huo Yushu, who knows how much money she threw at the Xie family. She pampered Xie’s mother like a socialite and Xie’s sister like a young heiress.]
[Unfortunately, no one in the Xie family appreciated her kindness. They spent her money while badmouthing her as cheap, clingy, and shameless behind her back.]
Huo Yushu: “...!!!”
She wanted to curse, hit, and destroy them.
So, Huo Yuyan was pushing the waves and fanning the flames? Teaming up with that scummy man to harm her?
Fine then. This time, let all those things happen to Huo Yuyan instead! Let her reap what she sowed!
Turning the tables would allow her to lure them into her trap and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Huo Yushu nodded, a trace of obvious shyness flashing in her eyes. “He is pretty handsome, like a gentle little deer. Oh no, wait—a cute puppy!”
“You know him?” she asked, looking at Huo Yuyan with a curious expression.
[Sigh, there’s no hope! No hope!]
Shen Cheng sighed helplessly.
[This foolish Huo Yushu is making the same mistake again! She’s already drawn to him!]
[As expected, there’s no cure for a love brain! Even given another chance, she’s still terminally afflicted.]
No, no, no!
Huo Yushu desperately wanted to refute Shen Cheng, to tell her that this time, she wouldn’t be a terminal love brain!
She just wanted to turn the tables!
But now was not the right time to tell her sister-in-law about her plan.
She would tell her later. She had to make sure her sister-in-law knew she wasn’t a love brain.
“I’ll introduce you.” Huo Yuyan took her hand and led her toward Xie Shaoheng.
“Xie Shao, this is my sister, Yushu. Yushu, this is Xie Shaoheng, a senior of mine by two years.” Huo Yuyan smiled as she introduced them. “Let me tell you, Xie Shao is amazing in academics.”
“He’s our school’s campus heartthrob and has long dominated the school’s top rankings. All the girls go crazy when they see him.”
“The girls chasing after him are lined up all the way from our school to the neighboring Normal University, and even across two streets to the Medical College.”
“Miss Huo, hello.” Xie Shaoheng stood and extended his right hand in a gentlemanly manner toward Huo Yushu.
Huo Yushu politely shook his hand. “Mr. Xie, hello.”
“If you don’t mind, you can just call me ‘Xie Shao’ like Yuyan does.” Xie Shaoheng smiled warmly.
“Sure, Xie Shao.” Huo Yushu responded without hesitation, her demeanor open and graceful.
“Yushu, add him as a friend. That way, if you ever need help with your studies, you can ask him. He’s incredible. He aces every subject. He’s the pride of his tutors.” Huo Yuyan looked at Xie Shaoheng with admiration.
But in her eyes, there was not only admiration but also an undeniable affection.
[Tsk tsk tsk! That look in her eyes, don’t make it so obvious! Only Huo Yushu, this naive love brain, hasn’t noticed. Anyone with eyes can see it!]
[No wonder love brains always have a bad ending. At least, I’ve cured myself.]
Huo Yushu: Sister-in-law! I’ve cured mine too! You can’t treat me like this!
“Sure!” Huo Yushu took out her phone, scanned Xie Shaoheng’s QR code, and the two added each other as friends.
Then, Xie Shaoheng and Huo Yuyan exchanged a subtle glance, both wearing a meaningful, faint smile.
At this moment, the ordered dishes were brought to the table.
Huo Yushu had specifically ordered three bottles of premium liquor, each costing over 100,000 yuan.
After all, she had to give Huo Yuyan a taste of her generosity!
Everyone, seeing the dishes and the wine, couldn’t help but smile with delight.
As expected of Huo Yushu—she was exceptionally generous.
Just as they began eating, Huo Yushu’s phone rang. It was a call from Huo Xingjian.
“Brother…”
“What time is it? How long do you plan on keeping my wife out? Now, immediately, bring her out! Otherwise, I’ll cancel your allowance for the year!” The commanding voice of Huo Xingjian came from the other side of the line.
“Got it, got it! We’ll be out in a second!” Huo Yushu replied, pulling Shen Cheng’s hand. “Sister-in-law, my brother’s come to drag us out. Quick, quick! If we don’t leave, he’ll explode and cut off our allowance!”
“You guys enjoy your meal! Eat to your heart’s content, and if you need more, just order! We’ll meet again next time!”
Everyone understood: Don't worry about the bill. I’ll pay for it.
After all, that’s how it always was.
Thirty minutes later
The manager entered the private room with the bill. “Miss Huo, the total comes to 1.5 million and 200 yuan. I’ll waive the 200, so you only need to pay 1.5 million.”
