Chapter 72: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 72: Hurry Up and Take Huo Xingjian from Shen Cheng’s Hands
Upon hearing this, Huo Xinglang's face turned grim.
"What did you and my second uncle do?" he asked in a low voice.
Yu Fengcai didn’t respond, but her expression said it all.
Seeing her reaction, Huo Xinglang understood.
Just like what he and Li Qingxue did that day in Huo Xingjian’s office, his mom and dad must have done the same.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind.
Damn it!
If Wen Yintong installed cameras at home, what about Huo Xingjian?
Was there a possibility that he also installed surveillance cameras in the office?
At that thought, his face turned ashen.
"Xinglang, what's wrong?" Seeing him lost in thought, Yu Fengcai asked, confused.
Huo Xinglang snapped out of it and asked, "Do you know where the main server is?"
"I don’t know. Call your second uncle and ask him," Yu Fengcai replied.
"Forget it. I'll find it myself," Huo Xinglang said, walking toward Huo Xingjian’s study.
He searched the entire villa but couldn’t find any surveillance equipment.
"Wen Yintong is a bitch! She’s deceived us!" Yu Fengcai gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.
"From now on, be more cautious," Huo Xinglang said.
"Got it, got it." Yu Fengcai responded before remembering the important matter. "I have to tell you something, Xinglang. This entire family has been acting strange recently."
"Do you remember before? Huo Xingjian was all about Li Qingxue, and he always had a bad attitude towards Shen Cheng. Wen Yintong and Ho Yuzhu, whenever they saw Shen Cheng, they would always mock and ridicule her."
"But now, it’s like they’ve been possessed, eagerly trying to please Shen Cheng. Huo Xingjian, too, is acting like Shen Cheng is his beloved wife."
"Don’t you think it’s odd? Before, only that old man from the Wen family liked Shen Cheng. Now, I feel like Shen Cheng is almost the family pet."
"You should have seen how the three of them were today, trying to please Shen Cheng. I was stunned."
Huo Xinglang furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
After a long pause, he looked at Li Qingxue. "You told me on the phone that Huo Xingjian wants to investigate the car accident from two years ago?"
Li Qingxue nodded heavily. "He said so. Not only has he stopped caring about me, but he also said I have to pay him back for my medical expenses from the past two years. And now, he wants to investigate the car accident from two years ago."
"Did you handle the accident properly? You can't let him find any clues. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."
Huo Xinglang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. He won’t find any traces. Did he really ask you to pay back the medical bills?"
Li Qingxue nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Where would I get the money to pay him back? I don’t understand why he’s suddenly become so cold. What went wrong?"
"Everything seemed to be progressing according to our plan, but now, everything has changed."
"His attitude toward me is completely different now. What did Shen Cheng do to him? Why is he suddenly so infatuated with her?"
Before, it was always Shen Cheng who was trying to please Huo Xingjian, playing the role of his obedient dog, no matter how he mistreated her or how Wen Yintong and Ho Yuzhu mocked her.
But now, everything has reversed.
Huo Xingjian used to enjoy the flirting game, didn’t he?
"And that day at the company, you saw it too. Shen Cheng beat me and An’an up like a madwoman." Li Qingxue’s face became even more aggrieved. Her eyes were red, and tears glistened, threatening to fall, making her look pitiful.
"Who are you showing this pitiful act to?" Yu Fengcai snapped at her with a displeased look. "Shen Cheng hit you, go complain to Huo Xingjian, not to my Xinglang!"
"Li Qingxue, if you had any real ability, Huo Xingjian wouldn’t have been taken by Shen Cheng."
"Let me tell you! Don’t think about what's in the bowl while looking at what's in the pot! My son is not your backup! Don’t think about him!"
"Mom..."
"Shut up!" Yu Fengcai interrupted Huo Xinglang’s words, glaring at him. "Let me tell you, I will not approve of you and her! Huo Xingjian doesn’t want her, why should you pick her up?"
Yu Fengcai had never liked Li Qingxue.
To be exact, she didn’t like Li Qingxue clinging to her son.
In her eyes, Li Qingxue was nothing. An orphan without a background or a strong education didn’t deserve her excellent son.
But, if Li Qingxue were to help her son, seducing Huo Xingjian to get confidential documents and then helping her son take down Huo Xingjian to seize the Wen family’s business, she would fully support it.
However, once Li Qingxue started eyeing her son, it was a different story. Yu Fengcai would never allow it.
Her son needed to marry someone from a prestigious family, someone who could help him in his career, stand by his side, and make everyone envious and admire him.
Like the youngest daughter of the He family.
Yes, Yu Fengcai liked the youngest daughter of the He family. She was the He family’s princess, and only she was worthy of her son.
If her son married the He family’s princess, then the He family would be their support, helping him take down Huo Xingjian.
But what Yu Fengcai forgot was that the He family’s eldest son, He Fengnian, now the head of He Corporation, was Huo Xingjian’s lifelong friend.
They had grown up together. How could He Fengnian help Huo Xinglang?
"Feng Aunt, I didn’t..."
"Better not!" Yu Fengcai gave her a vicious glare. "Li Qingxue, I’ll tell you, you’d better keep your focus on Huo Xingjian."
"Only Huo Xingjian is your future. You’d better use everything you have to take him from Shen Cheng’s hands!"
"Mom, stop." Huo Xinglang said, slightly unhappy.
He was the only one who truly understood his relationship with Li Qingxue.
He was Li Qingxue’s only man.
"I’ll take you home," he said to Li Qingxue, pushing the wheelchair toward the door. "Don’t take what my mom said to heart. As for Huo Xingjian... we’ll put that on hold for now."
"Xinglang, what should I do?" Li Qingxue asked, her face stained with tears, looking at him helplessly.
