Chapter 68: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 68: The First Step in Trapping the Trash Father

Shen Cheng kicked his calf with the tip of her shoe, her face darkening. "What a big-headed fool you are! Huo Xingjian, is there anything other than useless thoughts in that head of yours?"

"I'll give you two options! First, clear your mind of all the useless thoughts and drive! Second, get out of the car and I’ll drive myself home!"

Seeing Shen Cheng so furious, Huo Xingjian only laughed.

He let out a low chuckle, reaching over to buckle her seatbelt for her. "Sit tight."

Shen Cheng shot him a glare.

[This dog of a man, thinking I'm some soft persimmon, just ready to be squeezed and twisted! ]

[If I get mad, you’ll be in for a real show! ]

Huo Xingjian fully agreed with this thought, as he had witnessed her "ferocity" firsthand in the past few days—especially when she had beaten up the Li sisters so badly that they couldn't find their teeth. It truly opened his eyes.

But he had to admit, he liked this side of her, it was a delightful surprise.

"To Grandpa's, or back to Qinxinyuan?" he asked as he started the car, his tone unusually friendly.

Shen Cheng gave him another irritated glance. "To Grandpa's."

[Who wants to be alone with you? Even if you tempt me with money, I won't fall for it. Especially when you still carry the scent of that white tea blossom from Li Qingxue. ]

[No, no, no! Money is fine, it hasn’t offended me! But this dog of a man has really made an enemy out of me.]

[Don't think that just because you're putting on a face, pretending to distance yourself from Li Qingxue, I'll forgive you. I'm not that easy to deceive! ]

Huo Xingjian sighed helplessly.

The road to winning her back was long, and he would have to keep trying.

At the Wen Family’s Old Residence:

Wen Yintong sat with the old man, chatting casually.

"I think Xingjian and Xiao Cheng's relationship has improved a lot recently," the old man asked with a smile.

Wen Yintong nodded. "It's definitely been much better lately."

"Xiao Cheng is a good girl. You should stop causing trouble for her. If you let such a good daughter-in-law slip away, you’ll never find another one like her," the old man said with a critical eye.

"You've got a lot of good qualities, but your judgment on men is terrible! Look at the man you chose!"

At this, the old man scowled in disdain.

"Dad, don’t say that about me!" Wen Yintong playfully scolded, "You thought Huo Yunshan was great back then too."

"Pah!" The old man spat, refusing to admit it. "Don’t blame me! I never thought he was any good!"

"Well, well, well," Wen Yintong replied, helpless. "You're right, my judgment was poor. I ended up with such a trashy guy."

"Hmm," the old man nodded in satisfaction. "Now that you know he's trash, just get rid of him."

"I know," Wen Yintong assured him. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll take care of it. I won’t let them off easily. They will pay for what they’ve taken."

"Be nicer to Xiao Cheng ," the old man added.

Wen Yintong smiled. "I know. She's the treasure of our family. How could I not treat her well? The changes in our family, the way we can change our destiny, it’s all thanks to her. She's the real hero of this family."

"We all need to treat her well. If Xingjian dares to treat her poorly, I won’t let him off."

"You know what to do," the old man said with satisfaction.

Just then, the sound of a car approaching the yard could be heard.

Father and daughter exchanged a glance.

Soon, Huo Yunshan entered, holding a delicate gift box and wearing a flattering smile. "Dad, I came to see you."

"Mm," the old man replied indifferently. "You have the heart. If Yintong hadn't come back, I wouldn’t have seen you. What, are you too busy?"

"Not at all, not at all," Huo Yunshan quickly denied. "It's my fault for not visiting you sooner. I'll come more often, as long as you don't mind."

"I do mind!" The old man coldly retorted. "Don’t come anymore, seeing you just ruins my mood!"

Huo Yunshan: "...?"

What did he do to offend this old man? Why was he so angry?

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Yunshan immediately agreed with a smile. "Whatever you say, I’ll do it. As long as you're happy."

"Are you a wooden stick with no opinion? Why do you always do what I say?" The old man sneered.

Huo Yunshan: "...!"

Old man, you’ve really pushed it this time.

He gritted his teeth but kept smiling. "It’s all my fault. I haven’t satisfied Yintong. I’ll change."

"Hmph!" The old man snorted in disdain.

"What are you here for?" Wen Yintong coldly asked, glaring at him. "You should be spending time with your good sister-in-law, not coming to my house."

Huo Yunshan wanted to explode, but remembering his purpose today, as well as his long-term goal, he suppressed his anger.

Still smiling, he spoke in a gentle and affectionate tone. "Sister-in-law is one thing, but my wife is my priority. No matter how great my sister-in-law is, she’s never as important as my wife."

"Alright, don’t be angry. I know I’ve been focusing on my sister-in-law these days and made you upset."

"I won’t do it again. You’ll always be my priority."

"Heh!" Wen Yintong sneered. "Is the surveillance taken care of?"

At the mention of surveillance, Huo Yunshan’s lips twitched, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly hid it.

Although his movements were swift, both the old man and Wen Yintong saw it clearly.

"It’s all taken care of, don’t worry," he said with a beaming smile.

"Dad, you’re here just in time," came the surprised voice of Huo Yushu from the door. "Yuyan recommended a few bottles of wine to me, and I spent over three million."
