Chapter Nine
"Now the person is in the hospital with a head injury caused by you all. They say it's a concussion and need a full body check-up. You all have to cover their medical expenses."
The roommate cried out in fear, "I don't have that much money."
Jian Yunong patted her back, "Don't worry, I've got this."
"You and I are both new employees. Where would we get any money?" The roommate wiped her tears, "It's my fault; I shouldn't have dragged you into this. Those jerks."
"Alright, if you had come alone, that would have been terrifying. I don't want to see you in the news."
Jian Yunong felt truly relieved deep down. It was better to have caused a scene at the police station than to lack the courage to report it afterward.
"But I have to work tomorrow. If I'm detained for three days, I probably won't be able to keep this job." The roommate revealed a fact that was even scarier than losing money. Jian Yunong felt guilty; if she didn't show up for three days, her aunt would definitely find out she got into a fight and ended up at the police station. She could already sense how embarrassed her aunt would be.
What should I do?
The usually carefree Jian Yunong finally felt scared.
*
At that moment, the door to the Huo Group conference room was pushed open, and everyone's gaze turned toward the presidential assistant who wouldn't disturb unless it was something important.
He leaned in and whispered something to the Chief Executive Officer, who had maintained an icy expression all day. Finally, Huo Jincheng's face showed a change as the ice melted.
"Meeting adjourned!"
With Huo Jincheng's command, everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Huo had been scolding people all day and was particularly irritable.
"The injured person refuses to be discharged from the hospital, and now the police are holding them," the assistant followed Huo Jincheng closely, detailing the situation at that time. "Knowing they are employees of our hotel group, a reporter is preparing to break a big story, but it has already been suppressed by the group's Public Relations Department."
Huo Jincheng had one hand in his suit pants pocket, his long legs moving restlessly, his thin lips coldly curling. "Met through a blind date?"
The assistant felt the temperature around their Chief Executive Officer drop several degrees; the focus of the president's attention was somewhat terrifying...
"Yes."
Huo Jincheng's wife went out on a blind date, got into a fight, and ended up in the hospital, and now someone is calling her a mistress... This kind of news should not be too big!
"Have you notified Dynasty's Public Relations Manager?"
"Yes, the group's publicity department has already informed her to come forward."
A cold smile curled at the corners of Huo Jincheng's mouth. Very good, Jian Yunong, last night you were terrified of men, and today you have the guts to go out on a blind date.
"Prepare the car! Contact Director Song, tell him I will arrive in twenty minutes."
When Mist Shenshen saw Huo Jincheng appear, her heart skipped a beat; she silently lit a candle for her niece.
"Mr. Huo."
Mist Shenshen stepped forward. "Here are the details of the injured person and the hospital bills."
Huo Jincheng took the documents directly, glanced at them casually, and then threw them in front of Director Song.
"I didn't know that one could get cancer from being beaten; can such things even be used as evidence?"
Under the harsh fluorescent lights of the police station, Huo Jincheng's distinct features were sharp as blades, deep and terrifying.
Director Song flipped through the documents and was surprised to find medical bills for cancer treatment mixed in. The more he looked, the more sweat dripped from his forehead. “Mr. Huo, there are witnesses who can confirm that it was your company's employee who assaulted someone in the hospital.”
“Director Song, it would be better to watch the video first,” Huo Jincheng replied.
Mist Shenshen had already prepared the footage of the incident. When he saw Jian Yunong being held back and slapping someone, the director could no longer remain seated.
“The staff below are not doing their jobs properly; this must be a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding?” Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, clearly not one to be easily placated. “We have several witnesses and do not believe this is a misunderstanding.”
The sweat on Director Song's forehead increased.
“Release him!” Huo Jincheng's voice was as cold as ice.
When Jian Yunong was released, Mist Shenshen immediately scolded her own Little Fool.
“I know you hate situations like this. You could have just called the police or left when you encountered bad people with your friend. Why did you insist on standing your ground? You know how rare your panda blood type is; if anything happened, who would give you a transfusion? You just donated blood last time, and your body is weak!”
Jian Yunong looked at Mist Shenshen uncertainly several times. If it were before, her aunt would have definitely come over to poke her on the head. For some reason, this time she seemed so gentle, as if trying to explain something.
“President, the president is here too,” Foolish Roommate exclaimed excitedly in Jian Yunong's ear.
Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, Huo Jincheng stood there expressionless, his deep-set eyes revealing no emotion.
Jian Yunong felt a shiver run down her spine.
Foolish Roommate snapped back to reality. “Why did even the president come… Is it…”
Jian Yunong felt a bit flustered. If this fool knew about her relationship with Huo Jincheng, then everyone in the hotel…
"Did we cause too much trouble?"
Jian Yunong's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled. "Yes."
Thud!
Her roommate actually fainted on the spot.
What a fool!
Jian Yunong was furious; if anyone should faint, it should be her, not this idiot who got ahead of her.
Mist Shenshen helped the ungrateful one on the ground and shot a glare at Jian Yunong. "Why aren't you going to apologize to Mr. Huo? If it weren't for him stepping in this time, your fighting incident would have been known to the whole world! Your mom would be so angry she might just explode!"
Jian Yunong had no choice but to walk up to Huo Jincheng and say, "Thank you."
"Come home with me."
Huo Jincheng turned and walked away, while Jian Yunong hesitated a bit until Mist Shenshen gave her a push from behind.
"What are you standing there for? If you're not going home, do you want to go around showing off that you can fight?"
Jian Yunong had no choice but to get into the car.
"Impressive, I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter," Huo Jincheng said coldly with a smirk.
Jian Yunong silently raised her hand to touch her bruised cheek, feeling humiliated.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Huo Jincheng couldn't help but rub his temples. Jian Yunong had been taken in for most of the day; if he had just made a phone call, this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.
How could he allow those two ruffians to bite at the two young girls like mad dogs, letting them be bullied in the police station?
When Jian Yunong was slapped in the video, Huo Jincheng felt a surge of anger and unprecedented irritation. After all, she was his wife; no matter how much she annoyed him, he had never laid a hand on her. How dare that man lay hands on her!
Jian Yunong blinked in surprise and looked at Huo Jincheng. "What are you telling me, President? We’re in a secret marriage! You said so yourself! Besides, winning a fight isn’t exactly something to be proud of."
Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong closer, gripping her chin. The mark from the slap on her face had almost faded; if he hadn't been so close, it would have been nearly unnoticeable. However, her lip was split, and with her delicate skin, it looked somewhat alarming.
He released Jian Yunong and scoffed, "Is that what you call winning? If it weren't for that idiot beside you, do you know what your fate would have been? It wouldn't just be about coming to the police station to pick you up; you might have ended up at the morgue!"
Jian Yunong shivered and hung her head in silence.
"Jian Yunong, you're carrying my child. If something happens to you, do you think the child will be fine? Can't you tell what's important? With your brain, how did you even get into the Public Relations Department?"
Jian Yunong touched her belly and finally didn't dare to retort. Her quiet demeanor clearly pleased Huo Jincheng, and his expression softened a bit.
"In the future, if anything happens, call me immediately! I don't want to hear from my assistant or see you in social news!" Huo Jincheng emphasized, "It's for the sake of the child!"
The car arrived at the familiar villa.
The two entered the house one after the other.
"From now on, you'll live here."
Huo Jincheng loosened his tie and headed upstairs. "Don't worry; you'll be living here alone. I'll only come back occasionally."
"Then why bother? I’m perfectly fine living in a hotel dorm."
Huo Jincheng paused, "Do you really like living in hotel dormitories that much? Then I'll just turn this place into a hotel dormitory."
Isn't that just telling everyone that her relationship with Huo Jincheng is quite close?
Jian Yunong shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, no."
His favorite Private Residence couldn't possibly compare to the cookie-cutter decor of a hotel dormitory. He really wanted to pinch Jian Yunong until he couldn't breathe.
Huo Jincheng's gentle smile faded, "Then you should obediently stay here."
Honestly, this person changes his attitude faster than flipping a page! Jian Yunong made a face at his tall back, and then the doorbell rang.
Jian Yunong went to open the door, and standing there was a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing. She frowned upon seeing her, "Who are you?"
That commanding tone felt somewhat familiar to Jian Yunong.
"Auntie, I'm Jian Yunong. Who are you looking for?"
"You are Jian Yunong?" Huo Jincheng's mother looked even less pleased upon seeing Jian Yunong. She had only gone to Europe for a brief inspection, and how did she come back to find her son had a wife?
Although she had never been very satisfied with that actor before, she couldn't be so picky now!
Especially since this one had messy hair and worn-out clothes.
"What happened to you?"
Mrs. Huo pointed at a smear of blood on Jian Yunong's clothing.
"Ah, that was because I was with someone..."
"Mom!"
Huo Jincheng suddenly appeared, interrupting Jian Yunong's words.
Jian Yunong opened her mouth, swallowing back the words "fighting."
She was a bit clueless; if Huo Jincheng hadn't shown up in time, she would have revealed everything.
Mrs. Huo still held onto Jian Yunong, refusing to let go. "What happened to her face? Why does it look like she got into a fight?"
The more Mrs. Huo looked, the more it seemed so, and her dissatisfaction with Jian Yunong grew.
"A woman actually getting into a fight! What kind of behavior is that!"
Jian Yunong silently dared not speak.
Huo Jincheng's cold voice rang out, "Mom, the injury on her mouth was caused by me."
