Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Zhenning was not the only one who was terrified as the guests were by his grotesque look as well. Xue Yuming wanted to refute for herself but those eyes sent her immediately behind her husband.
Huo Yunting chuckled as if his inner devil awakened.
He must let these two lose what they treasured the most, their fame and pride.
“Xue Yuming, allow me to tell you something. Your daughter and I are actually…”
“HUO YUNTING!” A voice half-sobbing interrupted her. That was when a tiny hand landed on his arm. The man turned his head, only to see Lu Zhaoyang sniffing with tears welling up in her eyes as she shook her head weakly.
She had been observing Huo Yunting. Her instinct drummed like her heartbeat knowing the nature of this beast as it alarmed her about something ahead of time. She knew the devil was going to do something devastating therefore she had to stop him.
What if—what if—Huo Yunting exposed us—I don’t know what to do anymore—I just don’t…
What will happen to mommy? With all the gossip and humiliation, will she become like Huo Yunting’s mother?
What will happen to Huo Yunting too? It will be a suicidal attempt to his career and his entire life!
What will happen to me? I’m not as strong as I seem—I’m not sure if I could take this.
n.o.body will benefit from this. The entire family will suffer!
It HAS TO be stopped!
Tears rolled off her cheeks as a giant droplet splattered upon the back of Huo Yunting’s hand. The fading warmth of her overflowing emotion extinguished the blaze in his head as his eyes slowly regained sanity.
Lu—Zhaoyang…
It’s because of this woman—I lost myself several times. Did that mean I would be twisted around her finger for the rest of my life?
He stared into her eyes while Huo Zhenning was still shocked by his son’s words and behavior.
He thought back on his son’s words.
What does he mean by Yuming manipulated and even forsook her own child?
And what is going on between him and Lu Zhaoyang?
“Huo Yunting, what the h.e.l.l are you talking about?” Huo Zhenning’s scream dragged Huo Yunting back to reality. The young man snorted, “As what it meant literally. Go figure it out if you have a brain.”
“You better be explaining this young man or else get out of here!”
“What a disgusting place. n.o.body would want to stay here, alright? I could almost smell the stench of rotten seafood.” And that final line was said in the Xue Yuming’s eyes, he continued, “Another second here and I’ll be puking. Here’s my final words—I *wish* the both of you a *happy* anniversary.” He smiled, “Hope that both of you would not have a nightmare tonight onwards, a nightmare about a poor woman being driven to death, that is.”
“Huo Li. The present!” Ordered Huo Yunting with the memorial plate in his left hand and Lu Zhaoyang’s wrist in his right.
Did he just say a present?
Huo Zhenning frowned.
What good thing can this nuisance prepare with such timing?
Lu Zhaoyang closed her eyes in hopelessness. It was a way for him to unleash his tension, nevertheless.
It was what both she and her mother deserved.
Both of them got back to the car and never spoke anything in the backseats. Huo Yunting still had Qiu Ran’s plate on his thighs as he stared through the window like a statue, similar to the day when they were at the mortuary.
Meanwhile, Huo Li who remained at the scene brought the old couple an exquisite looking case.
“This is a gift from Brother Ting prepared with blood and sweat. Perhaps both of you could unwrap it now—if there’s nothing else.”
Xue Yuming was panting with shaky legs. Her eyes were wide as saucers and she could tell there was nothing good inside the box upon first glance!
Huo Zhenning stayed quiet for the next few seconds before opening the box slowly in antic.i.p.ation. He believed that it was a better option than letting his son have the chance to crash the party again.
That was when the giant screen was turned on at the stage behind them, projecting the content of the case.
