Chapter 170 As expected of my daughter
Gu Heng is lying to me.
I snapped out of my daze: "Gu Heng, you're talking complete nonsense!"
"Do you really want me to find someone from the Huo family to tell you?" Gu Heng glanced sideways at Huo Yi, who was not far away.
Huo Yi didn't want to get involved; his resolute and handsome face was full of rejection.
"Brother Huo, is this true?" Mu Xi asked on my behalf.
Huo Yi was helpless. He walked over and said, "Mu Xi, there are some things you'd better not get involved in."
"Just tell me if it's true or not." Mu Xi protected me: "Shen Yan is my best friend, I can't watch her get deceived."
Huo Yi still didn't want to speak.
"I understand, all men are equally dark-skinned." Mu Xi's gaze turned cold.
Huo Yi's attitude made me realize that what Gu Heng said might not be false.
At this moment, the crowd began to murmur louder.
"No way, is Shen Yan really that stupid? She can't even tell the difference between her brother and her older brother?"
"Is it that they can't tell the difference, or that they don't want to? I guess they think that since they're all from the Huo family anyway, it doesn't matter."
"Heh, does she think she can serve two husbands at once?"
"Otherwise, how do you think she got her professorship? By herself? She got it all by sleeping around."
"No wonder she targeted Mo Ruchu back then; she was just jealous of him."
"That's enough." Gu Yunwei's eyes darkened. "If you dare say another word, get out of here right now!"
Those who were pointing fingers at me immediately fell silent.
"Shen Yan, let me take you to calm down first." Gu Yun did not extend his hand.
"I'm fine!" I refused, "I'm leaving now."
I turned around and walked out.
Mu Xi looked at everyone and said, "Let me tell you, Shen Yan is not the kind of person you're talking about. This is Huo Yubai's fault. He lied to Shen Yan. You have no right to talk about Shen Yan. You are the kind of people who put others down and flatter others!"
After saying that, Mu Xi chased after me.
Huo Yi glanced coldly at Gu Heng, "You're really asking for death."
He walked away.
When I went outside, the cold wind immediately woke me up.
"Yan Yan!" Mu Xi caught up.
She hugged me: "Get in the car first."
Before I could finish speaking, a beam of car headlights shone from a distance and landed on me.
The car lights made it hard for me to open my eyes.
Soon, the car stopped in front of me.
Huo Yubai hurriedly got out of the car. He was wearing a thin suit and his eyes were red as he walked up to me: "Yan Yan."
I gave a cold laugh: "How should I address you? Mr. Huo or a liar?"
Huo Yubai's handsome and noble face was full of anxiety and guilt: "Yan Yan, I'm sorry, I know you're very angry right now. Can we talk in the car? It's so cold, you'll get sick."
"I don't want your help, I just want to ask you, who exactly are you!" I grabbed Huo Yubai's collar and asked angrily, "Who exactly are you!"
Mu Xi tried to comfort me.
Huo Yi grabbed her hand from behind and gently shook his head, telling her not to worry about it.
He took their coats and draped one over Mu Xi.
The other one was given to Mu Xi.
Huo Yubai looked at me in a panic, his voice hoarse: "I am Huo Yubai. From beginning to end, it was me who was with you."
Snapped!
I slapped him hard across the face.
Tears fell uncontrollably.
He grabbed my hand and took a deep breath: "Yan Yan, if you're still not satisfied, you can continue, but let's get in the car first, okay?"
Snowflakes fell from the sky, very lightly.
"Huo Yubai, you really disgust me. You lied to me like this. I hate you and never want to see you again!" I broke free from his hand. "From now on, we'll go our separate ways and never see each other again!"
I started walking.
Mu Xi pulled me along: "Our car is over here."
She pulled me into the car and then drove off.
Huo Yubai and Huo Yi were still in the snow.
Huo Yubai stood like a sculpture in the wind and snow.
"You should get in the car too, take care of yourself." Huo Yi comforted her, "Anyone would be angry about this, just give her some time."
“She doesn’t want me anymore…” Huo Yubai choked up.
Huo Yi sighed: "No, I think she's very good to you."
“No, she’s nice to me because she treats me like family.” Huo Yubai looked up at the dark blue night sky: “In her eyes, I am Huo Yushen’s younger brother, and also her younger brother. She has never loved me.”
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
He knows it all too well.
Given his background, Shen Yan looked down on him.
Fighting was commonplace for him when he was in school, but in Shen Yan's eyes, he was a school bully and a bad student, someone she wouldn't even glance at.
Without "Huo Yushen", Huo Yubai would mean nothing to Shen Yan.
Huo Yubai looked up at the Gu family's old house, a cruel glint flashing across his eyes.
Some people have to pay the price.
-
Mu Xi took me home.
"Yan Yan, I can be with you if you need me." Mu Xi held my hand.
I shook my head: "Xixi, thank you for your kindness, but I want to be alone."
Mu Xi pursed her lips tightly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." I forced a smile and got out of the car.
After getting off the bus, I walked towards the villa.
Mu Xi sighed and took out her phone to call Huo Yi.
As soon as I entered the door, I instantly felt much warmer.
"Yan Yan, you're back! Why are you back so early?" My mom looked at me suspiciously. "Didn't you go to the dance? Did you have fun?"
"Yes, I'm happy." I nodded.
“But you don’t look happy.” My mom asked, puzzled, “Did something happen? Tell me.”
"Mom, I'm fine." I explained, "I just wasn't feeling well, so I came back early. Mom, I'm going to rest now."
As I spoke, I looked at Sister Lan and said, "You keep an eye on my mom."
"Professor Shen, don't worry." Sister Lan nodded.
I went upstairs, got to my room, and immediately lay down on the bed.
I was in a daze the whole way, but now everything around me is finally quiet.
All I can hear is my own heartbeat.
How ridiculous.
Five years of longing and anger have turned into a joke.
Huo Yubai made me a laughing stock.
I hate him.
Ding ding.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"I'm already asleep. I don't want to see anyone."
"It's me." Shen Xingyuan's deep and steady voice came from outside.
"Can we talk about this tomorrow?" I asked weakly.
Shen Xingyuan paused for a moment, then said, "I already know."
News travels fast.
I got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Shen Xingyuan stood outside the door.
I was taken aback: "You can stand up too?"
"It's all because of your excellent medical skills." Shen Xingyuan leaned against the wall: "Are you crying?"
I touched my face. "No."
"I'm going to beat him up," Shen Xingyuan said angrily.
"Two sickly people fighting, isn't that just as ridiculous as those inflatable figurines at the mall entrance?" I said sarcastically.
Shen Xingyuan frowned: "She can still joke around. It seems my worries were unnecessary. She truly is my daughter."
