Chapter 1140: I Wanted My Brother To See Me

Translator: Yunyi
Zhongli Xue’s eyes were burning.

“Because I wanted my brother to see me.”

Understanding flashed in Song Yaoyao’s eyes.

She wanted to say something more but saw An Feiran and Shen Xun walk over with big strides. Shen Xun held Song Yaoyao’s wrist. “Follow me.”

“What—”

!!

Shen Xun cursed in a low voice and whispered, “I don’t know who leaked the news of Mr. Huo’s disappearance. I’ll tell you the details later.”

Zhongli Xue did not know why they were in such a hurry to leave. A trace of curiosity flashed across his calm eyes.

After hearing Shen Xun’s words, Song Yaoyao’s face darkened. She quietly followed Shen Xun and left.

There were already many gazes around Song Yaoyao, sizing her up vaguely.

“Yaoyao.”

A figure stopped them.

The hostility between Shen Xun’s brows grew stronger, and his deep voice was filled with displeasure. “Huo Ningxi, get lost.”

To think that he had thought highly of him and felt he was a good person.

Now that he was looking at him again, he realized he was a fake person, and he would never change.

“Where are you taking my aunt?”

Huo Ningxi stood quietly in front of them and did not move. His thin lips curled into a smile, and he stared at Song Yaoyao stubbornly. He reached out his hand to her. “Come here, we’re going back.”

Song Yaoyao was so angry that she laughed instead. “Huo Ningxi, are you out of your mind?”

It had only been a few days. There was no need for him to change so quickly, right?

“Don’t worry about him. Let’s go.”

Shen Xun walked past him. Huo Ningxi suddenly reached out and grabbed Song Yaoyao’s wrist.

His voice sank. He looked at Song Yaoyao pleadingly. “Yaoyao, you’d rather believe him than me?”

“Let go.”

Song Yaoyao looked at him coldly, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

“I know I’ve been terribly wrong in the past, but…”

Slap!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Song Yaoyao slapped Huo Ningxi without hesitation.

Her palm was numb from the shock, and she used all her strength.

“Ah!”

“Wh-what’s going on?”

“Isn’t Miss Song his aunt?”

Huo Ningxi’s face was smacked so hard that it was tilted to the side. The tip of his tongue pressed against the soft flesh in his cheek, and he gave an ambiguous smile. “Are you done? If it’s not enough, you can hit me all you want. As long as you can forgive me.”

Soon, five clear finger prints appeared on his handsome face, but Song Yaoyao sneered and stayed away from him.

“Forgive you? I never take people who aren’t worth it to heart. Huo Ningxi, I didn’t hate you this much before.”

However, the things he had done recently were getting more and more outrageous and explicit. Even someone as slow-witted as her could sense his feelings towards her.

She only found him laughable, and even disgusting.

Love that came too late was worth less than grass.

“Let’s go.”

Song Yaoyao wrapped her shawl around her shoulders and ignored Huo Ningxi who stood rooted to the ground. She took the lead and walked towards the door.

“Miss Song, you’re leaving already? I haven’t done my duty as a host. Is there something urgent that you need to rush over to handle?”

Shen Xun cursed, “F*ck!” Were these people blocking the way? They were probably doing it on purpose.

An Feiran’s gaze swept past Song Yaoyao and finally landed on Zhong Li. He smiled and said, “Mr. Zhong Li, you must be joking. Yaoyao’s been unwell these past few days. She only attended because she received Mr. Zhong Li’s invitation. She was suddenly unwell a moment ago, so we were worried about her.”

His smile was gentle and refined, and his tone was composed. There was no trace of anxiety at all.

Tang Xinrou held his arm and lifted her chin arrogantly when she heard his words, “That’s right. Mr. Zhong Li has just returned to the country. I’m afraid he doesn’t know how good our relationship with Yaoyao is. Since she wasn’t feeling well, we were naturally anxious. We will accept Mr. Zhong Li’s kind intentions and will definitely give you a proper apology another day. As for now, please make way for our Yaoyao to go home and rest.”

A trace of interest flashed across Zhong Li’s long and narrow eyes. He sized up Song Yaoyao, unable to hide his amazement.

He did not expect her to dress like this.

“Miss Song, are you feeling unwell? Coincidentally, we have invited a doctor. If it’s convenient for you, I will invite him to take a look at you.”

F*ck…

This old fox!

Tang Xinrou cursed in her heart. “No need to trouble yourself. Yaoyao is…”

“Mr. Zhong Li, aren’t you being too nosy?” Song Yaoyao, who had been silent all this while, sneered and swept a cold glance across the man. “Regardless of whether I’m unwell or not, don’t tell me that I don’t even have the right to leave?”

After saying this, she lifted her feet and left, not giving Zhong Li any face at all.

The many guests looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.

Who didn’t know this person’s ability? She didn’t just rely on the Huos. She also had the support of the higher-ups.

Even if she embarrassed Zhong Li in public, what could he do to her?

“Brother! She actually dared—”

Zhongli Xue arrived at some point and was staring angrily at Song Yaoyao’s figure that was strutting away. Before Zhong Li could react, she had already lost her temper.

This woman. She actually dared to humiliate her brother in public!

“Xue.”

Zhong Li glanced at her coldly. “Watch your mouth.”

“But…”

All of Zhongli Xue’s passion was for one person, but the other party turned a blind eye to it and pretended not to see it.

“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

Song Yaoyao rubbed her temples which were starting to hurt and questioned Shen Xun.

“You’ll know when you look at the phone. Someone leaked the news, but it can’t be suppressed. It’s obvious that someone is behind it.”

Song Yaoyao was mentally prepared for this. Huo Yunque had not been seen for a long time, and he had not appeared at home or abroad. Naturally, it would arouse suspicion.

The Tang, Shen, Yi, and Mu families were on the Huo Family’s side. There was no doubt about it.

However, the other aristocratic families may not be.

After Zhong Li arrived in China, he had caused a stir in the already unsettled waters. Of course, there were brave people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

But…

What role did Huo Ningxi play in all of this?

#Huo Yunque, the chairman of Huo Corporation, was attacked in Country Y and is suspected to have died in a car crash!

#Song Yaoyao’s fiancé, Mr. Huo, is missing. Is he dead or alive?

“You don’t even use an alias anymore. You’re using your real name? Are you planning to go head to head with Mr. Huo? If you start spreading rumors, I think you’re really not afraid of death!”

“I’m in Country Y. I can confirm that Country Y hasn’t been very peaceful recently. I did hear about an accident a while ago, but I don’t know if it was Mr. Huo.”

“Are you serious? I’m so worried! Does anyone want to come forward and clarify?”

“F*ck, my ship can’t sink. I beg of you!”

“Speaking of which, Director Song hasn’t shown up for a long time too, right? She seemed to have indeed gone abroad a while ago. Someone met her in Canada, and the man beside her was supposedly Mr. Huo. As for whether they had gone to Country Y after that, it’s unknown. Anyway, I haven’t seen news about them for a while. I went to Weibo to ask about all this, but I didn’t get a reply.”
