Chapter 18: Playing Dead
ds. He looked at Bai Yihuan with indifferent coldness in his eyes: "I said so much, and you only remembered this one sentence"Bai Yihuan's body turned cold, remembering Huo Shenxi's warning before. He...Ho Chenxi kept staring at Su He, meeting her face full of mockery. His heart tightened suddenly, and he unconsciously stepped forward, but Su He had already turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
A feeling of powerlessness arose.
Faced with Su He, who was completely different from before, Huo Chenxi didn't know what to do with her.
Finding Su He's palm was still bleeding, Huo Chen Xi took a deep breath and turned to Qin Shi, saying: "Second brother, send them to the hospital."
Qin Shi walked up to Su He and lowered his voice, "Sister-in-law, go to the hospital to get your wounds treated first!"
Su He knew Qin Shi, and had a decent impression of him. Huo Yi Rou whispered to him on the side, advising him not to refuse. So, he went along with Qin Shi and left together.
Until she walked out of the private room, she didn't glance at Huo Shenxi again.
After getting on the car, she said to Qin Shi: "Mr. Qin, you can still call me Su He!"
Qin Shi looked at her thoughtfully from the rearview mirror, understanding why Huo Chen Xi had been in a bad mood lately.
"Brother-in-law," Bai Yiyang explained anxiously, "I truly didn't know that woman was Sister Huo's friend, and I'm hurt too!"
He tousled the stray hairs from his forehead, revealing a scratch the length of his little finger. He pointed to the spot and complained, "You have no idea how vicious she was, she almost kicked me into oblivion!"
Ho Chenxi's face was expressionless as he said in a low voice, "Serves him right."
Bai Yiyang couldn't believe his ears: "Brother-in-law..."
Ho Chenxi suddenly interrupted him: "I'm not your brother-in-law, don't call me that. Besides, this matter tonight can't just be brushed aside."
Bai Yiyang was intimidated by his cold gaze and stammered, "I did nothing wrong..."
Unable to bear his lack of remorse, Huo Shenxi finally struck him without hesitation, throwing a punch.
Half an hour later, Huo Chenxi straightened his suit jacket and walked out of the bar with his head held high. After confirming the location with Qin Shi, he went straight to the hospital.
Su He's wound has been bandaged, and medicine has also been applied to her face.
The purplish-red medicine made her face look… cute. Outside the glass door, Huo Chenxi felt like he was going crazy.
Huo Yirou was still listing Bai Yiyang's outrageous deeds, cursing and swearing as she went. Su He thought of the muffled sound she had vaguely heard when she kicked over a trash can earlier, and couldn't help but smile: "Maybe he really will have no children in the future!"
When Huo Yirou went in, she saw Bai Yiyang covering his mouth with one hand and immediately understood: "Serves him right. But he's also pretty impressive, managing to find trouble even after being beaten up."
Qin Shi, who was drinking water, heard their conversation and suddenly choked violently, coughing fiercely.
Huo Yirou turned back and looked at him with displeasure: "Qin Lao Er, you even choked on drinking water. How did you manage to live until now"
Qin Shi touched his forehead and said, "Call me elder brother. I wouldn't have lived to this day without your help, would I"
Ho Yirou rolled her eyes: "Then the marriage is off. You don't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry you!"
The fortune teller said Qin's fate was too good, easy to break if he lived a long life. He needed to find a woman with an unfavorable Eight Characters to balance it out, and she became the unlucky one.
"Neither you nor I can make it count. Otherwise, call your grandmother and have her break the engagement," Qin Shi kindly suggested.
"Why don't you dig up your grandfather and let him come"
The two of them were arguing fiercely, Su He sat quietly on the side watching the show.
This kind of drama always plays out whenever Ho Yi-rou returns to her home country.
Although Qin often argued with Huo Yirou, he always secretly let her win. Every time Huo Yirou thought she had won and acted smugly, looking down on him for being weak and argumentative, he would smile in his eyes, turn his head away, and ignore her. Afterward, he would intentionally make things difficult for her, forcing her to come to him for help.
As the two were about to reach a stalemate, Huo Yirou, as usual, got the upper hand. Qin Shi suddenly got up and left the battlefield ungracefully.
"You..." Huo Yirou was unwilling, but when she saw Huo Chenxi at the door, she fell silent and worriedly looked at Su He beside her.
Su He couldn't possibly know that she and Qin Shi were arguing on purpose, just to delay time until Huo Chen Xi came over, right
“We’ll be leaving first, you send Miss Su home,” Qin Shi grabbed Huo Yirou and walked outside, saying to Huo Chenxi.
Ho Chenxi heard his name and frowned, glancing at him. Qin Shi shrugged, feigning innocence.
Not until they left did Huo Chenxi walk towards Su He, frowning as he looked at her wound: "Are you alright"
Su He let out a cold snort: "Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet!"
Is this him taking it out on you
“It’s a misunderstanding, Bai Yiyang didn’t mean to target you.” Huo Chenxi frowned, “You did too, going to a bar so late.”
Su He suddenly raised her eyes to stare at Huo Shen Xi, her gaze unfamiliar as if she had never met him.
"When you want to accuse someone, there's no shortage of reasons." Su He sneered. "That phrase has been perfectly understood by Young Master Huo!"
Ho Chenxi's face darkened, but Su He didn't care. "When girls are harassed or bullied, some people always refuse to blame the perpetrators with malicious intentions and poor character, instead accusing the innocent victims. They say things like 'it's all the girl's fault for dressing provocatively' or 'flies don't land on seamless eggs.' People who say these things have no better morals themselves!"
Moreover, didn't Shao Huo also arrive at the bar this late At least I'm still sober!
Ho Chenxi: "..."
He just felt that the bar was a mixed bag of people and unsafe. He thought that two girls like them, her and Huo Yirou, shouldn't go to a bar this late without bodyguards. Unexpectedly, she fought back with logic and reason, leaving him speechless.
He had never noticed before how eloquent she was.
Thinking of Bai Yiyang's injuries, Huo Chenxi inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
She's not only eloquent but also a skilled martial artist.
Miss Su, here's your medicine! The nurse brought the medicine over and saw Huo Chenxi at once, her hand froze as she was about to give the medicine to Su He. Huo Chenxi took the opportunity to snatch it away.
"That's mine." Su He said angrily, reaching for the medicine. However, Huo Chenxi, taking advantage of his height, raised the medicine above his head.
Su He was too angry to say anything, so he stomped away angrily.
Huo Chenxi hurriedly followed her, trying to grab her wrist: “I’ll send you back.”
Su He suddenly flung herself back, but she hit the door frame with force, and her eyes immediately watered from the pain.
Huo Chen Xi forcefully grabbed the gauze and saw that it was faintly stained red. Without hesitation, he picked her up horizontally and carried her back to the emergency room for bandaging.
"If you move again, I won't hesitate to beat you up right here!" Huo Chenxi warned dangerously.
Su He thought of what had happened on the ship, when he had carried her and slapped her. She glared at him angrily, but didn't dare to move.
Until Huo Chenxi forcefully stuffed her into the car and then leaned down to buckle her seatbelt, Su He's breath couldn't help but become erratic.
"Huo Chen Xi, we are already divorced, what do you want" Su He couldn't bear it anymore. "I said, a qualified ex..."
Ho Chenxi glanced at her: "I just pretended to be dead, what's the matter"
He slammed on the accelerator, and the black luxury car shot out into the night like an arrow.
"After everything's been taken care of like this, you still ask me for money" On the hospital bed, Bai Yihuan glared angrily at Bai Yiyang.
Bandaged like a mummy, Bai Yiyang stammered through the events: "It was your man who caused trouble and beat me up badly. If I don't settle this with you, should I go find him"
Bai Yihuan's face turned ashen, but she forcibly suppressed the anger churning in her chest.
Bai Yiyang stroked his chin, a half-smile on his lips, and said: "You said that making that woman have an abortion was Huo Shao's idea, right You're lying, aren't you Judging by Huo Shao's attitude today, he doesn't want to marry you at all. If he finds out about this, what do you think will happen"
"Alright, I'll give you five million!" Bai Yihuan gritted her teeth. "Chen called the other day, saying someone was investigating the miscarriage and asking for money. You figure out a way to clean this up, it can't be traced back."lly set on hitching a ride, she just suddenly remembered the identity of the man Huo Chenxi had just sent off.That was Ryan, the youngest-ever dean of technology at a top university that had recently...
