Chapter 87: The Sweetness is in My Heart

However, he would not admit defeat so easily.

He would definitely let Huo Yuxi experience what it felt like to be played like a fool.

…

Later that evening, Huo Yuxi, who had already been criticized and insulted by netizens all over the internet, returned to the mountain villa as though nothing had happened.

Fu Yahui was in disbelief as soon as she saw Huo Yuxi entering her living room. “Are you kidding me? Do you still have the guts to come and face me? You had better get out of my house right now.”

“Mommy, no matter what has happened today, you are still my stepmother and I will always be your legal stepdaughter. Therefore, it is only natural for me to live here with you, aside from the fact that dad has already given me his approval to continue living here. Anyway, I will be recuperating at home for the next few days but once I feel well enough, I will be starting work at Dongheng Enterprise. Dad said that he has already arranged a position for me in the company. I am just informing you right now, lest you be surprised.”

Huo Yuxi walked upstairs and went into her bedroom after that, acting as though nothing had happened.

Fu Yahui stared at Huo Yuxi as she walked up the stairs and her face turned red with anger. She quickly took out her cell phone and immediately called her husband. “Huo Zhendong, what are you trying to do now? Were you the one who gave her the courage to insult and humiliate me in public today?”

“Yahui, she is just a child. Why are you fighting with her over these ridiculous matters?”

“Alright then. Let us forget about what happened at the press conference today. Then, who gave you the right to give Huo Yuxi a position in Dongheng Enterprise? Do you not think that you should have discussed this with me before making such a big decision?” Fu Yahui asked angrily. “Have you forgotten who the biggest shareholder in Dongheng Enterprise is?”

“Why are you bringing this matter up again? No matter what happens, Yuxi is still our daughter. Therefore, it is only reasonable for me to offer her a position in Dongheng Enterprise since she has nowhere else to go. Dongheng Enterprise will be passed down to her in the future anyway so you should not make a big deal out of this,” Huo Zhendong replied impatiently.

“You think that Dongheng Enterprise will be passed down to her? Not necessarily! Do not forget that I still have a biological daughter!” Fu Yahui said before hanging up the phone immediately. She was so angry and agitated that she sat on the sofa for a long time before she could finally relax and calm herself down.

Her husband was getting more and more bold recently and he seemed to have forgotten that she was the reason why Dongheng Enterprise could get to where it was today!

…

It was ten o’clock in the middle of the night and the sound of the waves hitting the beach could be heard all the way from the villa.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yuning walked out of the bathroom and saw Lu Jingzhi, who was wearing a black robe, answering a call secretly by the bedroom window.

Jiang Yuning sneaked over and hugged him from the back before asking, “Who are you talking to? Why are you being so secretive?”

“Someone called to tell me that Lu Zongye approached him, asking for a loan of thirty million yuan,” Lu Jingzhi replied as soon as he put his cell phone away.

“Why does he need so much money?” Jiang Yuning asked as she raised her brows. She thought that Lu Zongye would have given up by now.

“I have heard that Huo Yuxi had arranged for people to beat Lu Zongye up and to also force him to sign the divorce agreement,” Lu Jingzhi said as he held Jiang Yuning’s hand and led her to bed.

Lu Zongye’s anger was therefore directed at Huo Yuxi this time.

“He has already found a male escort that he wants to dress up and package nicely, so that he can set a trap for Huo Yuxi.”

Jiang Yuning got goose bumps immediately after listening to Lu Jingzhi’s words. It was indeed true that the person who best understood Huo Yuxi in this world was none other than Lu Zongye.

Huo Yuxi had always dreamed of marrying into a rich and prestigious family. If she did get caught playing around and dating a male escort, her dream of marrying into a wealthy family would have been gone for good.

It was such an evil plan.

After all, how many more times could Huo Yuxi afford to harm her own body?

Jiang Yuning listened to Lu Jingzhi as he explained the contents of his phone call and she could not help but to curl up against Lu Jingzhi. “Second brother, why did the other party call you when Lu Zongye tried to borrow money from him?”

Lu Jingzhi ran his fingers through Jiang Yuning’s hair and then caressed her shoulder gently. “Stop asking questions that you are not supposed to ask, okay?”

In fact, Jiang Yuning knew that Lu Jingzhi had already said that he was going to seek justice for her. However, she had not expected him to use all sort of means to make sure that he got her the justice that she deserved.

“Go to sleep,” Lu Jingzhi said gently, not wanting Jiang Yuning to overthink anything. Therefore, he patted her on the head gently, but Jiang Yuning quickly climbed on top of him.

“You have not been intimate with me for the past two days. Don’t you want me?”
