Chapter 87: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 87: "Honey, Behave. I’m the One Who Bought Your Underwear"

As soon as Huo Xingjian stepped into the store, he felt his lips twitch violently, his temples pounding as if on fire. His stride even faltered for a moment.

He had originally been inspecting the mall today but suddenly received a message from Huo Yushu. The message was concise: Shen Cheng had run into Li Qingxue, and he was advised to "deal with it himself."

How could he possibly delay? He left the accompanying mall executives behind and rushed over without a second thought.

And what greeted him upon arrival was the tail end of his wife's sarcastic and pointed remark.

The look Shen Cheng gave him was even more troubling—her eyes brimming with a clear warning and veiled threat.

Li Qingxue turned abruptly towards the entrance and immediately froze upon seeing Huo Xingjian’s face, dark and menacing like the King of Hell himself.

"President Huo, no—it’s not like that! Shen—uh, Mrs. Huo must have misunderstood. How could I possibly say something like that?" Li Qingxue quickly tried to explain, eager to clear her name.

“Oh, really? Because we all heard you say it loud and clear,” chimed in one of the older women who had been scolding her earlier.

“That’s right! That’s not the tone you were using earlier, either. You were being incredibly arrogant just now!”

“You were acting like you were looking down on his proper wife as if she were beneath you!”

"Exactly! And that little girl next to you even had the gall to say that the person not loved in a relationship is the third wheel and demanded the real wife leave her own husband!”

“You two carried yourselves with such self-righteous airs, anyone who didn’t know better would think you were the lawful wife here!”

“She’s married to her husband, and yet she has to curry favor with a sister-in-law? How ridiculous!”

“I’m telling you, young lady, this behavior is unacceptable! A wife is meant to be cherished, not bullied!”

“Look at your wife, then look at this woman. Are you blind? Otherwise, how could you possibly pick someone like her over a wife as beautiful as a fairy?”

The women spoke in rapid succession, defending Shen Cheng passionately.

Meanwhile, Shen Cheng stood quietly, her head lowered slightly. She looked so pitiful, gazing at her toes with apparent sorrow as her shoulders trembled faintly.

To those kind-hearted older women, it appeared she was silently weeping from the injustice.

But in reality, Shen Cheng was holding back laughter. She was trying so hard to suppress it that her shoulders were shaking from the effort.

“Second Brother, I…” Huo Yuyan began to stammer, panic written across her face. She wanted to explain, but when she met Huo Xingjian’s sharp, piercing gaze, her words died in her throat.

Her entire body trembled with fear.

And then, the earlier scene in the fitting room replayed in her mind. She had been forcefully silenced by Shen Cheng, her mouth covered while Shen Cheng mercilessly beat her up.

She was still in pain—all over.

That despicable Shen Cheng hadn’t struck her face or hands but targeted all the concealed and sensitive spots.

Her legs still throbbed with burning pain, and she suspected there might even be bleeding.

Shen Cheng had caught her completely off guard, delivering a ruthless knee strike between her legs.

Wearing a skirt made the pain so much worse compared to wearing pants, which could at least mitigate the blow slightly.

To make matters worse, the area was tender and vulnerable—completely defenseless against the attack. The sharp, searing pain had been unbearable.

Huo Yuyan had wanted to scream, but Shen Cheng pressed her hand firmly over her mouth, muffling her cries.

When she tried to bite Shen Cheng’s hand, Shen Cheng seemed to anticipate it. Just as Huo Yuyan opened her mouth to bite, Shen Cheng withdrew her hand and shoved Huo Yuyan’s own hand into her mouth instead.

She ended up biting down on her own hand, and it wasn’t just a light bite—it was deep. Her hand now bore two rows of glaring teeth marks.

Not only had her lower body been hit, but Huo Yuyan's chest had also been used as a punching bag by that wretched Shen Cheng.

The pain was excruciating—so much so that tears streamed down her face.

The worst part was... the implants seemed to have burst!

She had spent hundreds of thousands carefully selecting the perfect implants, achieving a flawless curve that others envied. Yet, now they had been destroyed by Shen Cheng!

Ah! Ah! Ah!  

Huo Yuyan was on the verge of a breakdown, but she couldn’t say a word about it.

She absolutely couldn’t let anyone find out that her enviable "perfect chest" was surgically enhanced!

Huo Xingjian stepped up to Shen Cheng, gently taking her hand and coaxing her in a soft voice, "Honey, be good. Don’t listen to their nonsense. You’re the one who buys all my underwear, remember?"

“She’s trying to sow discord between us. You mustn’t fall for it. In this lifetime, there’s only you—always has been and always will be. I swear, if I’m lying, may all my assets…”

“I believe you!” Shen Cheng hurriedly interrupted him, looking extremely serious. “Husband, I absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt believe you.”

[You idiot! Are you crazy? Swearing on my money?!]

[Disappear into thin air? Why don’t you say you’ll disappear instead? Fly away if you must, but don’t let the money vanish! That’s my money, not yours!]

At that moment, Shen Cheng’s focus was entirely on the phrase “assets disappearing” and conveniently ignored the part about being the only woman in his life.

Huo Xingjian was speechless.

Having a wife obsessed with money—was it a blessing or a curse?

But he understood her well: if anything involved money, she would respond immediately and with full attention.

“You’re the best, honey!” Huo Xingjian smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips, his face full of satisfaction.

Shen Cheng glared at him fiercely.

[Lying scoundrel!]

“Miss Li,” Huo Xingjian’s expression turned cold as he glanced at Li Qingxue, who was frozen in shock. “Your words and actions have seriously disrupted my wife’s and my normal life. My lawyer will send you a legal notice.”

“Xingjian, I really didn’t…”

“We’re not that close,” Huo Xingjian interrupted her. “Address me as President Huo.”

“President Huo…”

“And you!” His gaze shifted to Huo Yuyan. “It seems I’ve been too lenient with you! I’ll give you one week to repay every penny you charged to my card this year.”

“Otherwise, face the consequences!”

“Second Brother…”

“What caught your eye?” Ignoring her plea, Huo Xingjian turned to Shen Cheng with a warm and doting expression. “I’ll buy it for you, honey.”

Li Qingxue clenched her fists tightly as she watched the tenderness in his eyes and heard the pampering tone in his voice directed at Shen Cheng. Resentment and bitterness surged within her.

Her nails dug deep into her palms, leaving long, sharp indentations, yet she felt no pain.

Huo Xingjian, how could you do this to me?

I worked so hard to make my decision, finally choosing you over Huo Xinglang.

But why? Why did you choose Shen Cheng?

What’s so good about her? Didn’t you hate her the most? Why has she suddenly become the one in your eyes?

Li Qingxue couldn’t understand it at all.

“An’an, thank you for the gift! I love it so much!”

Outside, Huo Yushu’s cheerful voice rang out.

Then came Li An An’s puzzled tone, “Sis, what’s up with your card? There’s not even five million on it!”
