So, he called Mother Xiao. Mother Xiao was so angry that she almost went crazy when she found out that Huo Yutan was the cause of Tianlangâs recent mishaps.
âI told you not to provoke such a jinx, but you didnât believe me. If you hadnât pulled her back from the gates of hell, she would have committed suicide dozens of times. How could she have the face to deal with you and the Xiao family?â
âMom, sheâs from the Huo family. We canât afford to offend her.â Xiao Huaixing no longer wanted to struggle.
âSheâs from a side branchâ¦â
âEven if itâs a side branch, a yearâs income is enough to buy ten Tianlang.
Theyâre different from the poor relatives of ordinary people like us.â
Mother Xiao was speechless when she heard that. She didnât know that the Huo familyâs side branch was so rich. âJust how rich is the Huo Family?â
âLast yearâs financial report, the Huo Corporationâs revenue almost broke 100 billion.â In the past, Xiao Huaixing had no concept of this number. Even when he paid attention to the Huo familyâs financial report, he felt that it had nothing to do with Huo Yutan. However, after Huo Yutan mocked him that day, he spent money to check the current status of the Huo familyâs third widowâs shares. Only then did he understand that if Huo Yuâan wanted to flatten Tianlang, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
âThis⦠That much?â Mother Xiao stuttered after hearing that.
Mother Xiao didnât know much about the Huo Corporation. She only felt that since the Huo family could marry their daughter over, it wasnât a big deal. Thinking about the side branch of the Xiao family and the people who rented houses, she was even less interested in Huo Yuâan.
Thinking about what she had done to Huo Yuâan, Mother Xiao felt a chill in her heart.
âItâs more prominent than you think.â
âThen why are you still protecting your little lover at a time like this? Even if you canât get Huo Yuâanâs forgiveness, you canât make things too bad. What about the Xiao family?â
At this time, Xiao Huaixing laughed at himself and said, âMom, our whole family played with her. Protect Wen Lan and we still have a chance to live.â
Because if he could get rid of Wen Lan, he might be able to give Wen Lan another push. When that time came, Wen Lan would come back to life, which meant that Tianlang could recover its position.
At this moment, Mother Xiaoâs mood was very complicated. She seemed to have forgotten that Huo Yutan had come to the Xiao family and discussed the relationship between Xiao Huaixing and Wen Lan with her.
âThenâ¦Alright then.â
Mother Xiao had no other choice but to blame Huo Yuâan in her heart. She was really too low-key. Why didnât she tell her about the Huo familyâs prominence earlier?
She felt that she was very compatible.
At nine oâclock in the morning, Wen Lan, who had already stopped working, had been feeling uneasy ever since Xiao Huaixing left. She felt that the way Xiao Huaixing looked at her when he came out in the morning was very different from usual.
She was anxious and didnât dare to call to ask, afraid that she would push Xiao Huaixing too hard and it would backfire.
At this moment, Wen Lanâs phone screen lit up. It was the unknown number from yesterday. There was a reply. âDidnât you want to see me? Come to Yuebo
Hotel. â
Wen Lan was secretly delighted. Thinking that she was qualified to negotiate with Huo Yuâan, she dressed up as if she were attending a banquet and drove to the hotel address Huo Yut an had given her.
Because according to the timeline, she was Xiao Huaixingâs real wife. Huo Yutan had come out of nowhere and taken over the magpieâs nest, so she was full of confidence.
However, when she walked into Huo Yutanâs room with her head held high, she suddenly felt uncertain.
At this moment, Huo Yuâan was not wearing any makeup, but her bare face was beautiful and her facial features were exquisite. She had the temperament of a socialite that could be seen without any makeup.
She was not wearing any jewelry, only a red watch on her wrist. However, that watch had once appeared in an auction in a certain country and was worth tens of millions.
The most amazing thing was her gaze. It carried the natural superiority of the Huo family. Even if she looked at people normally, she would still give off a sense of condescending oppression.
The moment Wen Lan met her gaze, she was immediately repelled by her sharp gaze.
Huo Yuâan stared at Wen Lan, then raised her right eye slightly, giving off a
playful and sexy vibe.
âMiss Wen, you can start your performance now.â
Huo Yutan made an inviting gesture.
Wen Lan swallowed nervously and wanted to speak, but she stuttered and could not say anything.
âDonât be nervous. I donât eat people. Iâve learned about your relationship with Xiao Huaixing from the side. Itâs been eight years, it really wasnât easy. To be honest, even I feel sad for you. So, donât worry, Iâll quit and let the two of you get married.â
âReally?â Wen Lanâs eyes lit up and asked hurriedly.
âYouâre so naive,â replied Huo Yutan with a smile.
The Huo Yuâan at this moment was completely different from the Huo Yuâan at the previous moment.
At this moment, Huo Yuâan was like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.
âI was the one who released all the dirt on you.â Huo Yuâan took out the deck of cards with three cards missing and threw them in front of Wen Lan.
Wen Lan squatted down, trembling slightly as she looked at the dirt from the past.
âI restarted Wen Xinâs film. The money I used was the betrothal gift Xiao
Huaixing gave me.â
At this point, Huo Yuâan wore the hotelâs white slippers and slowly walked towards Wen Lan. She squatted down in front of a pile of poker cards and pinched Wen Lanâs chin hard. âIâll only ask you one thing. Do you want to be beaten by these cards every day, or do you want to betray Xiao Huaixing and fight for a chance to live?â
Wen Lan did not dare to meet Huo Yuâanâs eyes because she felt a chill run down her spine.
Huo Yuâan reached out and used her hands to straighten Wen Lanâs face.
âI hate it when people look away when Iâm talking. Donât you know thatâs very rude?â
âYes⦠Iâm sorry.â Wen Lan was so frightened that she almost cried.
Huo Yutan shook off the face speechlessly, then got up and went to the sink.
She was speechless that she had actually lost to such an opponent.
No, it wasnât considered a loss, but it wasnât considered an opponent either, because this was originally a scam. It could only prove that her mind was filled with water in the past.
The Huo Family members should not pursue a normal and healthy life, at least not now. If she had to pay such a price for thinking about it, she should just obediently return to her position.
âGive me an answer. I donât like people wasting my time.â
Wen Lan stuttered and her brain seemed to be unable to work. She paused for a few more minutes before she replied, âLet me go. Let me go. Iâm just a small artiste. â
âYou donât want Xiao Huaixing anymore?â
âNo, no, no. I donât want him.â
âIs this your great love?â Huo Yutan laughed out loud because she found it ironic and ridiculous. She also felt sorry for Xiao Huaixing. âSince you donât want it anymore, then⦠Letâs make a public statement..â
