Bai Ru thought to herself that karma had come so quickly; the woman who took the place of the mistress would eventually be replaced by another. How could Bai Ru let such a great opportunity slip away? She had to humiliate Jian Yunong thoroughly.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Bai Ru sneered.
Jian Yunong frowned in disgust.
It was truly an extraordinary level of dislike for Bai Ru.
"Miss Bai, do you know what the least graceful thing is? It's slandering your ex after a breakup. Besides proving that you are blind and pathetic, it brings no benefits. Oh, the more you insult your ex, the more foolish you appear. After all, the scummy ex you speak of was chosen by you."
After Jian Yunong finished speaking, Huo Jinge couldn't help but applaud. "Wow, Sister San, I didn't know you were so eloquent! I thought you usually only knew how to..."
The word "eat" was left unspoken.
It was a bit embarrassing for Jian Yunong.
Everyone thought Jian Yunong was a foodie, soft and incapable of anything, but that wasn't the case at all.
At critical moments, Jian Yunong performed unexpectedly well.
Bai Ru's face turned green with anger.
"Enough," Huo Liangchen interjected to end the argument between his wife and relatives. "You can go find the parties involved to clarify this matter. It wasn't me; I have no need to take responsibility for it."
Huo Liangchen's gaze swept over the three women across from him. "Bai Ru is already married to me. I hope you can respect her. If you can't do that, I won't force it. Let's just keep our distance from now on. Out of sight, out of mind."
Bai Ru didn't think it would be so simple to stay out of it; she wanted to see how many episodes this melodramatic soap opera could run.
"That won't do." Bai Ru had no intention of backing down. "Words are not enough. Let's confront Madam directly."
Seeing Bai Ru so assertive, Huo Jinge was unwilling to back down. "Fine! Let's go. Who's afraid of whom!"
Suddenly, Sister Zhang jumped out from the shadows.
"Hey! Don't go asking Madam!"
Huo Liangchen sneered, "This concerns my reputation, so of course I need to clarify things."
He stood by Bai Ru's side.
Bai Ru couldn't help but kiss Huo Liangchen on the chin. "Honey, you're so good."
Huo Jinge felt nauseous at the sight.
Le Yi had a faint look of melancholy on her face. She thought of Yi Nansheng. He had never become her harbor.
Even though Huo Liangchen was indeed a scumbag, at this moment, he was genuinely good to Bai Ru.
Jian Yunong appeared calm; she trusted Huo Jincheng.
When Huo Jinge stirred up trouble, it was naturally up to her to take charge.
She was not one to shy away from problems; she would make the call!
Sister Zhang finally became anxious.
"That Miss Chu's child is related to Third Young Master!"
This statement woke everyone from their dreams.
"I don't believe it!" Huo Jinge almost dropped his phone. "Third Brother isn't that kind of person!"
Le Yi chimed in, "Yeah, Third Brother isn't that fickle."
"Him? Not fickle? Ask Jian Yunong, she should know best." If he wasn't fickle, how could he find a new partner so quickly?
If he wasn't a scumbag, how could he get married so soon and be indifferent to her?
Bai Ru finally got to vent the breath she had been holding.
"How did Miss Jian rise to power? Isn't that the best evidence!" Bai Ru wished she could laugh out loud.
Huo Liangchen gave Bai Ru a deep look.
She must still have deep feelings for Huo Jincheng... Hmph... There’s no hatred without reason.
If she wasn't in love, why would she care so much?
"Making such a racket, what does it look like?"
It was a coincidence. Huo's mother returned at that moment.
Huo Jinge couldn't help but ask, "Chu Ai really has Third Brother's child? How could he do this?"
Everyone knew that Huo's mother was a very cautious person, so they all tacitly accepted that this matter might be true, which made it difficult to accept.
Huo's mother's gaze fell on Jian Yunong's face. "Yes, and so what? Carrying on the family line is his responsibility."
With one sentence, she almost blocked the conversation at a dead end.
Le Yi hurried over to Huo's mother. "Aunt!"
"That is a child of the Huo Family. No one has the right to interfere."
Huo's mother left those words and walked away directly.
Huo Jinge's tears began to well up. How could it be like this? It felt as if her worldview had shattered. She sobbed; she no longer believed in love.
"Don't cry," Jian Yunong comforted Huo Jinge. For some reason, seeing Huo Jinge in tears made her feel no desire to cry at all.
Bai Ru's annoying voice rang out again. "You just said I have no grace? If stating facts is wrong, I hope you can get along well with Xiao Si in the future."
Le Yi really couldn't take it anymore. "Enough! You keep calling her a mistress. Who do you think you are? You are the most shameless one! It was you who abandoned Third Brother first; how can you blame him for being ungrateful? When he was dying in the hospital, it was Jian Yunong who came to save him. And you? The whole world knows you were dating the Dubai Prince! The husband you have now is just someone you snatched from someone else! If you think you're innocent, then you have no right to criticize Jian Yunong."
Bai Ru wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Huo Liangchen. "You're pregnant; you should go rest well. The day after tomorrow is our wedding."
The wedding is approaching, yet she doesn't resemble a bride-to-be at all; there's no joy, only sharpness, constantly bringing up past events. How can she claim to have moved on?
Huo Liangchen pulls Bai Ru out forcefully.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ru is unhappy.
She hasn't had enough of the drama yet!
"Look at how you acted just now. Are you jealous? Jealous of my brother?"
Huo Liangchen suppresses his rage. "I don't care about your little thoughts. But I don't want to hear you targeting Jian Yunong again."
"Why can't I target her?" Bai Ru stands her ground. That little bitch!
"Look in the mirror. She has never provoked you; it's always been you who has been resentful. You've been constantly reminding me how much you like my brother. I can't help but wonder why you're marrying me."
Huo Liangchen's expression is extremely cold.
Bai Ru shivers.
"Honey... I... I was just momentarily... overwhelmed with anger."
"Let's go home. I don't want to hear your explanation."
Huo Family Old Residence, unable to calm down.
Le Yi almost immediately called Huo Jincheng, while keeping an eye on Jian Yunong to prevent her from leaving.
It was better to discuss things face to face.
Jian Yunong did not cry at all. She did not seem to be on the verge of a breakdown either.
She even comforted Le Yi, saying, "Don't be too nervous."
When Huo Jincheng rushed back, Le Yi immediately told him about Chu Ai.
"That's nonsense!" Huo Jincheng couldn't help but curse, "I have never touched that woman! She's so dirty! Who knows who she has been with to climb up the social ladder?"
Le Yi felt somewhat reassured; although she still had doubts, she chose to believe him since Third Brother said so.
"Where's your sister-in-law?"
"In the bathroom."
Huo Jincheng felt a bit anxious, wondering if his silly wife was worried or if she had cried out of anger.
Le Yi shook her head, "No. Sister-in-law Three clearly trusts you a lot. While we were all panicking, she was completely calm."
