Chapter 77: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 77: What Is This Dog of a Man Hinting At?

Upon hearing Shen Cheng's thoughts, the four of them turned their attention toward her in unison.

But, to avoid her noticing something unusual, they quickly went back to their tasks.

"Come on, Xiao Chengzi, try this soup dumpling. It’s the best!"

"Chengzi, have some bird's nest soup. It's great for your skin."

"Sister-in-law, fresh juice, just squeezed."

As for Huo Xingjian, he handed her a cup of warm milk.

Shen Cheng shot him a glare.

[This dog of a man, what does he mean by this? Yesterday, he gave me milk, and now again? Is he trying to hint at something?]

Cough! Cough! 

Old Master Huo, who had been drinking soy milk, suddenly choked.

Huo Xingjian, holding his chopsticks, froze.

Huo Yunshu, sipping her juice slowly, smiled meaningfully at him.

As for Wen Yintong, she shot him a disdainful glance: What a useless man! Can’t even comfort his own wife! What a waste!

Waste... Huo Xingjian... Useless: "..."

[Huo Yunshan is hospitalized?]

[Is he so frail? Is it because of the thirty million from yesterday?]

[Should we tell Mrs. Wen about this? After all, Yu Fengcai is currently at the hospital, looking after him personally!]

[We could catch them red-handed if we go now.]

Huo Yushu and Wen Yintong exchanged a look.

"Mom, you should go to the hospital for a checkup today, right?" Huo Xingjian put down his chopsticks and said to Wen Yintong. "I’ll take you there later."

"I think I should get a checkup too," Old Master Huo said seriously. "Let’s go together. Ah, getting old is like being a machine; many parts need maintenance. Who knows when this old machine will break down?"

"Grandpa, don’t say that!" Shen Cheng hurriedly said. "Grandpa, you're as strong as ever, you're in great health!"

[Grandpa, as long as I stop you from meeting with Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue, and prevent you from discovering their affair, you won’t die. You’ll live to a ripe old age!]

[It’s all that dog of a man’s fault! If he wants to die, fine, but why drag Grandpa into this?]

Dog of a man... Huo Xingjian: "..."

He touched his nose awkwardly, unable to come up with a response.

Wen Yintong and Huo Yushu both shot him a sharp glare.

"Exactly!" Wen Yintong agreed. "Dad, Chengzi is right. You need to stop thinking about nonsense all the time."

"Grandpa, you have to stay strong! You still need to prepare my dowry!" Huo Yushu said with a bright smile.

She added, "Not just mine, but also my sister-in-law's. You have to prepare hers too!"

"Huo Yushu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Xingjian shot her a glare and scolded her lightly.

Huo Yushu glared back at him. "What nonsense? Have you married my sister-in-law? Did you even give her a wedding? You just got the marriage certificate, that's all!"

"Do you know how important a wedding is to a woman? The wedding and that marriage certificate are equally important. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you don’t give my sister-in-law a grand wedding, I won’t let her marry you!"

Huo Xingjian, helpless, rubbed his forehead.

How did he end up with such a troublesome, backstabbing sister? Always opposing him for no reason?

Did breaking up his relationship with Shen Cheng benefit her somehow? Her brain must be full of nonsense.

"Yes, Yushu is right!" The old man nodded, agreeing seriously. "This is also what I mean. Kid, listen to me. If you don’t give Xiao Chengzi a proper wedding, I... I’ll introduce someone better to her. Definitely better than you..."

"I won’t give you that chance!" Huo Xingjian interrupted him, pulling Shen Cheng into his arms. "Don’t even think about it! Shen Cheng will only ever be my wife in this life! We’ll love each other until we grow old together!"

Shen Cheng turned to look at him with a blank expression, as if she were looking at a fool.

[What’s wrong with you? Did you short-circuit? Get waterlogged? Or was your soul swapped? Cursed? Love me until we grow old together? What about your white moonlight, your true love?]

[I'm not going to die again! I’ve finally got the chance to change the plot, change my life. I must be crazy to repeat the same mistake again!]

The three of them exchanged looks with Huo Xingjian, a mix of disdain and sympathy: Good luck!

"Grandpa, Mom, ride in my car," Huo Yushu said, directly shoving Shen Cheng into the front passenger seat of Huo Xingjian’s car, quickly closing the door. She turned to the two of them and said, "My brother’s car is too cramped."

"It’s not cramped..."

"Safety deposit box," Huo Xingjian interrupted Shen Cheng’s words, speaking slowly and unhurriedly. "Once we’re done checking with Grandpa and Mom, I’ll go buy gold with you."

"It’s cramped! Too cramped! This car can’t fit!" Shen Cheng said without hesitation. "Grandpa, you should ride in Yushu’s car instead!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xingjian’s lips curled into a satisfied smirk.

You think you can get away from me?

A piece of gold is all it takes to make you lose your principles.

Huo Xingjian had already figured out the best way to handle Shen Cheng.

He leaned over, gently fastening her seatbelt, and started the car.

Huo Yushu drove the other car behind them.

Wen Yintong and the old man sat in the back seat.

"Mom, what do you think Yu Fengcai and Huo Yuyan will feel after seeing that post on WeChat?" Huo Yushu asked as she drove steadily, glancing at the rearview mirror. Her tone was light, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I specifically set it so only those few scoundrels can see it."

Yes, just that family of four, plus Li Qingxue and Li An An.

After all, they were once blind to the truth. The Li sisters had been her friends.

If she had only restricted it to those two, it wouldn’t be enough. The drama needed a bit more.

By now, Huo Xinglang should have already rushed to the hospital.

"What will they feel? Hmph!" The old man sneered coldly. "Soon, I’ll make them regret it! Those scoundrels have been acting so convincingly all these years!"

"Dad, don’t let yourself get too worked up," Wen Yintong coaxed gently. "It’s not worth it to get upset over such scum."

"Don’t worry. I won’t let them live so comfortably. Everything they’ve taken from us, they’ll have to give back."

"This divorce will definitely happen. But we need to make it look good. Everyone has to see the true faces of those dog-like people."

"You’re right!" The old man nodded in agreement.

Then, as if thinking of something important, he added, "Oh, right! We have to tell Zhu Yun and Mu Zhou, too, so they know the true nature of that scoundrel. We can’t let him deceive them anymore."

"Got it." Wen Yintong nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll contact her."

"Huo Yunshan, that dog! Just thinking about him makes me so angry! I almost want to tear him to pieces!" The old man gritted his teeth.

"Dad, there will be a chance," Wen Yintong said with a smile.
