“Huo Wu, you’re dead!” After suffering several punishing slaps, Huo Yuqin was entirely ruffled, not to mention Huo Wu’s provocative words afterward. Her eyes reddened. She stood up from her seat in a flash, and regardless of anything else, she stretched her hand in an attempt to slap Huo Wu in return.
Upon seeing Huo Yuqin’s expression, Huo Wu knew that she was about to do something. She was prepared, so she hurriedly stepped aside before Huo Yuqin acted. On cue, Huo Wu’s female driver and several bodyguards nimbly took action and rushed forward to subdue Huo Yuqin.
Huo Yuqin was firmly restrained and couldn’t move. All she could do was open her mouth. She shouted the name of her bodyguard urgently, trying to get him to help her out. But strangely enough, her bodyguard was late in showing up.
Because of the privacy of today’s conversation, Huo Yuqin had cleared the tea shop before Huo Wu came. At the moment, except for the two of them, only the people they brought were present.
Although Huo Wu was also momentarily puzzled about the absence of Huo Yuqin’s people, she had more pressing matters to attend to at the moment, so she didn’t take Huo Yuqin’s bodyguards’ unknown whereabouts to heart.
She glanced around and found that there was a glass of lemonade left over from a previous customer on the table next to her. She thought nothing of picking up the glass and splashing it towards Huo Yuqin with a dash of her hand.
Splat. A full glass of lemonade poured over Huo Yuqin’s head.
Drops of water rained down Huo Yuqin’s hair little by little.
On her hair, there were even some lemon crumbs. She looked dazed and wretched from head to toe.
Huo Wu charmingly slowly put down the empty lemonade glass and watched Huo Yuqin’s embarrassed appearance with great pleasure for a while. Then Huo Wu said slowly, “Huo Yuqin, I’m waiting. I’d like to see what you can do except hire people to splash dirty water on me and want to stink up my reputation!”
Huo Yuqin originally looked furious, but upon hearing her words, her face instantly paled a few shades.
How did Huo Wu know?
She had entrusted the amusement park matter to Xiang Hui. Although Xiang Hui’s reputation was bad, his work was reliable, and he was absolutely loyal to her. He would never give her away!
So where exactly did things go wrong? Or was Huo Wu trying to hoodwink her with words?
But Huo Wu didn’t look like she was bluffing. Instead, she looked determined.
Huo Wu ignored the sudden change in Huo Yuqin’s expression.
After the two middle-aged women betrayed Xiang Hui, Xiang Hui was naturally transferred to the police station immediately. However, no matter how the police questioned him, he insisted that he was unhappy with her, so he found someone to deliberately discredit her and manufacture negative rumors about her. Other than that, it was impossible to ferret anything out from him at all. Xiang Hui was still the same as in the previous life, Huo Yuqin’s most loyal companion.
However, it did not matter.
The rest of Xiang Hui’s miserable life could already be foreseen.
As for Huo Yuqin, her life this time would never be as beautiful as the previous one.
Huo Wu smirked coldly. She did not care about the wretched Huo Yuqin but turned around and prepared to leave the tea shop.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly saw an unexpected person standing around the corner.
Because he was standing at a remote angle, she only discovered him now!
She had never expected this person to appear here at this time!
Huo Wu’s expression drastically changed.
She didn’t know how long Huo Yusen had been standing at this corner, much less how much of their conversation he had heard just now.
If he had heard the whole thing, would he think she was being too aggressive?
Would he think that she was actually quite different from the side she showed when she was around him?
Would he be disappointed with her?
Within a few seconds, countless questions flooded Huo Wu’s mind at once.
She opened her mouth but didn’t know how to start because she was too flustered.
Just then, Huo Yusen took a few steps closer towards her and took her hand, as usual, then he said gently, “Let’s go.”
It wasn’t until they got into the car that Huo Wu suddenly snapped back to her senses. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain everything.
Just now she not only slapped Huo Yuqin but had also splashed water all over her and even delivered some snide remarks.
Her appearance just now was one she had never before shown in front of him.
Huo Wu wanted to explain, but Huo Yusen spoke faster than her.
He looked into her eyes and took on a serious to solemn tone. “Ah Wu, did I make you suffer?”
It had never occurred to Huo Wu that Huo Yusen would ask such a question at all. There was no questioning tone in his voice, nor was there any suspicion. He just asked her if he had aggravated her. Huo Wu promptly shook her head and denied, “No, how can you, my Big Brother, ever wrong me?”
Huo Yusen lowered his eyes, took her hand, and put it on his leg. “Huo Yuqin has caused you a lot of trouble.” Huo Yusen used an affirmative sentence instead of an interrogative one. He must have heard the entire conversation between her and Huo Yuqin just now and heard what she said when she slapped Huo Yuqin. “One thing on the surface and another at the back.” “I’d like to see what you can do except hire people to splash dirty water on me and want to stink up my reputation!” Otherwise, he would not say so!
That being the case, Huo Yuqin’s bodyguards’ disappearance just now could finally be explained.
Huo Yusen’s people must have taken Huo Yuqin’s bodyguards away in advance.
So, did he let her do whatever she wanted to Huo Yuqin just now?
