Chapter 200 - Jealousy and Vengeance
Chapter 200: Jealousy and Vengeance
Cao Ming smiled, “That’s more like it. The Sisi I know has always been a smart person. She will always know what choice is best for her.”
“Come over yourself. I’m injured. You’ll do it.”
“Cao Ming, I’ll remember this. We’ll wait and see!” She still walked back.
There was quite a commotion in the ward. Huo Sisi was really taking the initiative.
At first, she was still filled with anger, but later on, she was probably excited…
Outside the ward, Xiang Jie had followed Huo Sisi to scold her as usual, but she did not expect to see this scene.
From the initial shock to the subsequent disgust, she endured the nausea and took out her phone to record the entire process.
She would send the people who came over occasionally, away too.
Since Huo Sisi dared to leave her in a lurch, she would never let Huo Sisi have an easy time!
However, she did not expect that Huo Sisi, who usually looked aloof, was actually a loose person deep down. Look at how satisfied she was at the end.
If this video got out, Huo Sisi would definitely become a famous person in South City.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Xiang Jie became.
***
In the evening, at the Huo Family.
It was snowing in South City.
Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu didn’t go out today. They were building snowmen in the Huo Family’s courtyard.
Through the window, he watched the two of them happily building the snowmen. The usual evil smile on Huo Xuan’s face was now very normal.
It was just an ordinary, gratified smile.
No matter what they had experienced in the past, at least now, their lives were stable and beautiful.
They were just ordinary girls around 18 or 19 years old.
They also had the innocence that girls their age should have.
Over the past few days, no matter how much he investigated, he only received the same results as before. However, Huo Xuan didn’t give up. He still got his subordinates to continue investigating.
“Sir, the wind is strong. You’re not feeling well. Don’t always stand by the window to enjoy the wind,” Huo Yu said.
However, he only spoke after a long hesitation.
Because he was really worried.
This was Huo Xuan’s study on the second floor of the Huo Family’s main building.
“This is the hot ginger soup that Miss Rain instructed the kitchen to make for you. She said it’s to ward off the cold and asked me to send it over to you. Sir, do you want to drink it now or?”
Huo Xuan closed the window and glanced at the two people in the courtyard outside before walking over and sitting down, “Give it to me.”
Huo Ning quickly handed it over.
After Huo Xuan finished drinking, he quickly handed the medicine and thermos over, “Sir, this is your medicine. Miss Rain personally filled the thermos for you.”
Looking into Huo Xuan’s smiling eyes, Huo Ning’s legs felt a little weak.
From the day before, he realized that every time Sir took medicine or anything else, as long as one item was prepared by Miss Rain, Sir would take the medicine that he usually couldn’t be bothered to look at. He would…
However, Miss Rain really instructed the kitchen to boil the ginger soup today. The water in the thermos was indeed filled by Miss Rain.
He was right, but why was he so conscious when he met Sir’s gaze?
“Miss Rain asked me to watch you take the medicine. Sir, I can tell that Miss Rain has become much closer to you recently.” She was also much closer to the Master and Madam.
However, he was smart enough not to say that.
Otherwise, the effect would definitely not be as simple as saying “Miss Rain has become much closer to you”.
Indeed, after hearing Huo Ning’s words, Huo Xuan nodded seriously and retracted his gaze. He took the medicine and water and swallowed them.
“By the way, Sir, the butler asked me to ask you just now. He said that Miss… Miss Sisi has been out for a day and hasn’t returned yet. Do you want to call and ask why she’s not back yet?”
“There’s no need for that.” Huo Xuan sneered, “That kind of person who has a stomach full of evil tricks is usually the one to scheme against others. What could happen? Even if something happens, she has asked for it then.”
“How’s the investigation that I asked you to do?”
“It’s true that we couldn’t find out if Miss Sisi was related to what happened at the banquet a year ago. However, We have some leads about how Chen Ye found out about Xiang Jie’s whereabouts a few days ago and investigated it layer by layer. However, the number that first sent the information out was an empty number. We still can’t find out who it was.”
“However, this is enough to prove that someone deliberately did this.”
“Speaking of which, if not for Boss Chen and Chen Ye’s full assistance, we wouldn’t have found out about this outcome so quickly. We didn’t have a deep relationship in the past either. It seems like they really want to apologize this time, that’s why they’re helping us so hard.”
After hearing Huo Ning’s words, Huo Xuan said mysteriously, “Is that so?”
Huo Ning didn’t dare to respond to him. In fact, he didn’t know how to respond.
He didn’t understand what Sir meant by that question.
Was it disapproval of his words?
Not really.
As he was thinking, he heard Huo Xuan ask, “What about Yin Jiujin?”
“There was a huge commotion in the capital. It’s not an exaggeration to say that everyone was in danger. Master Nine… was really angry this time and shocked and awed everyone again.”
“I wonder who’s so stupid to offend Master Nine even though they know that they won’t get anything out of it…” As he spoke, Huo Ning suddenly paused.
His Sir seemed to be such a person…
Because of that, he couldn’t resolve the trouble that Master Nine had created even after working for months.
Huo Xuan glanced at him indifferently, and Huo Ning hurriedly said with a stricken heart, “However, according to the information we received, Master Nine only dealt with some people and businesses. I heard that they didn’t find out who the mastermind is.”
Huo Ning sighed.
He really couldn’t think of anyone that Master Nine couldn’t find out.
“As for what the mastermind’s intentions are, we don’t know yet.”
“This isn’t something you should be concerned about. It’s exactly what I like when someone’s looking for Yin Jiujin’s trouble. If I hadn’t been too busy recently, I would like to teach Yin Jiujin a lesson too.”
“…” Huo Ning. Sir really didn’t mean what he said. They didn’t even care about the endless work on their hands and had to spare some people to help investigate when the Empire Group first caused such big news. But now, he was saying such words.
Undeniably, Sir and Master Nine did have business competition, but that was legitimate competition, unlike this current event…
It was obvious that someone was deliberately defaming the Empire Group.
However, the other party was thinking too simply. The Empire Group was not so easily defamed.
“However, Yin Jiujin has been very angry recently. Instructed our people to quietly do their own things. Don’t keep an eye on the Empire Group for the time being, lest Yin Jiujin turned his focus onto us.”
Actually, even Huo Xuan was a little frightened by Yin Jiujin’s ruthless methods.
Most importantly, Yin Jiujin had only spent two days causing such a huge commotion, and it was in the capital.
Yin Jiujin had caused such a huge commotion, but he was not affected by it at all.
If he asked himself honestly, Huo Xuan felt that if it were him, he could still do it in South City. If it were in the capital, he definitely wouldn’t be as fast, ruthless, and free from trouble as Yin Jiujin.
The Yin Family was in the capital, and the Huo Family was in South City?
Yin Jiujin had never relied on the Yin Family for anything.
“Yes, Sir.”

“It’s done. Beauty Yu, stand over there. I’ll take a photo for you,” Huo Siyu said as she took off her thick gloves and took out her phone from her pocket.
“No, you go over and I’ll take it for you.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t like to take photos.
Of course, Huo Siyu knew that too.
“Go ahead, Beauty Yu. It’s such a rare opportunity. I’ll take a photo and send it to you. Then, you can send it to your Brother Nine.”
“Based on my understanding of you, your Brother Nine shouldn’t have any photos of you in his phone, right? You have to take a beautiful photo and send it to him. Get him to set it up on his phone’s desktop so that he can stare at your beautiful face every day. Then, he won’t be able to see other women.”
“Even if there aren’t any photos, he still won’t be able to see other women,” Yan Jinyu said with a smile.
She sounded very confident.
Huo Siyu was speechless. However, on second thought, the Beauty Yu she knew was extremely confident.
This was also one of Beauty Yu’s characters.
“I don’t care. Go over and stand still. I want to take a photo for you.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. She didn’t reject her this time.
She stood beside the snowman.
Although Yin Jiujin wouldn’t have looked at other women without the photo, the photo constantly reminded him that he had an “owner”. It seemed like a good idea.
Speaking of which, it wasn’t just Yin Jiujin who didn’t have her photo. She didn’t seem to have Yin Jiujin’s either.
Yes, she had to pull Yin Jiujin aside to take a few photos when she returned to North City.
It would be a pity if she didn’t take a photo of Yin Jiujin’s handsome face and save it.
However, she did have photos of Yin Jiujin when he was young. She had taken them from the two old photos with her phone.
She didn’t think much of them previously, but she had been flipping through them often these few days.
“Beauty Yu, smile.”
“Ain’t I smiling?”
“You’re not smiling right. Just take it that Second Young Master Yin is standing in front of you and smile at him.”
Then, Huo Siyu saw Yan Jinyu’s eyes light up. Her eyes curved into crescents as she grinned.
She looked so silly.
But it made her heart ache.
Hmph! Beauty Yu actually treated her so differently from Yin Jiujin!
She did not even show her her silly side.
Actually, Huo Siyu was thinking too much.
Other than a hint of surprise, Yan Jinyu’s smile wasn’t much different from usual. Especially when compared to when she was in front of Huo Siyu and the other two.
As for others, it was hard to say.
“Alright, Beauty Yu, take one for me too. Then, let’s take a picture together.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t reject her.
However, Huo Siyu did not take a single photo. Instead, she had posed a few more times.
In the end, she got the servant to take a photo of them.
“Rainy, Jinyu, come in and warm your hands first. You’ve been playing for so long,” Sun Xiangxiang said with a chuckle as she looked at the two people who were having fun.
Huo Siyu, who was looking at the photos with Yan Jinyu, heard the shout and looked up. When she saw the happy smile on Sun Xiangxiang’s face, she instinctively said, “Mom, do you want to take a photo too?”
Sun Xiangxiang was stunned, and so was Huo Siyu.
Yan Jinyu took the phone from her hand, “Auntie, let me take a picture for you and Little Rain.”
Hence, Huo Sisi, who had returned in a sorry state, saw such a warm scene as soon as she came home.
Huo Siyu and Sun Xiangxiang stood beside the snowman while Yan Jinyu helped them take photos. Huo Lin stood under the shelter and looked at them with a smile. Beside the window on the second floor, Huo Xuan also had a smile on his face.
It was a stark contrast to her sorry state.
At that moment, Huo Sisi’s anger was about to burst out, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
With their sharp senses, how could Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu not sense such obvious malice?
The two of them glanced at Huo Sisi at the same time. Then, they retracted their gazes and smiled at each other.
The show was about to begin.
