"Let's eat, Jian Yunong has been hungry all day." Huo Jincheng spoke up at this moment, skillfully diverting everyone's attention. The whole family knew that Jian Yunong was a foodie.
"What happened to Nong Nong? How come you haven't eaten all day?" Grandma Huo said with a tone that clearly showed more affection than when she spoke about Bai Ru.
Jian Yunong chuckled awkwardly; how could she possibly not have eaten all day? She had a box of fruit and half a cheesecake in Huo Jincheng's car. Glancing at Huo Jincheng, he was playing his part so naturally; he was using her as a distraction!
But Jian Yunong didn't expose him. "Grandma, it's rare for you to come back, so eat more."
Bai Ru looked at Huo Jincheng and then lowered her gaze sadly.
If only she had been willing to set aside her pride and give up her dreams to be with Huo Jincheng, perhaps she would be the one living happily now.
But what good is regret?
A moment's decision.
At that time, she was very proud and thought that marrying Huo Jincheng meant losing her dreams. She didn't want to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, not at all.
Yet now, she had to endure any grievance because no one pampered her.
After dinner, Jian Yunong accompanied her grandmother to the study to chat for a while before returning to her room.
The window in her room was open, and as Jian Yunong prepared to close it, her gaze suddenly fixed on a corner of the garden.
What were Huo Jincheng and Bai Ru looking at over there?
She half-leaned on the windowsill, watching quietly.
"Divorce, Bai Ru. There is no happiness with someone like this."
Huo Jincheng handed all the photos of the women Huo Liangchen had been with these days to Bai Ru, saying, "Take this and use it for the divorce lawsuit; it will be beneficial for you."
These things should not be seen by family members.
Just now at the dinner table, he also saw Bai Ru's situation. Everything she was going through could indeed be said to be self-inflicted.
But the child is truly innocent.
If Bai Ru is unhappy, this child will not have a happy future either.
"You named your daughter Little Dolphin because you hope she can be free, right? Living in the vast ocean is certainly better than being trapped in this failed marriage."
Bai Ru did not even look at those photos but gazed at Huo Jincheng instead. He understood; he was the only one in this family who treated her well.
"Divorce... and then what? Let Little Dolphin stay with the Huo Family? Sorry, I can't do that. I don't want a divorce. I won't let Huo Liangchen be so happily with another woman; there's absolutely no way I'm giving up this position. I intend to endure with him for a lifetime."
Huo Jincheng frowned at her, "Did you really marry him because you loved him?"
"No," she replied. "I wanted to get back at you; I wanted to annoy the entire Huo Family." Bai Ru smiled bitterly. At this point, how could she admit that she had been blind back then?
In her most desperate moment, Huo Liangchen appeared, and in the end, he was the one who pushed her into this very awkward situation.
On the second floor, Jian Yunong naturally could not hear their conversation. After watching for a while and feeling a bit bored, she was about to retreat and close the window when she unexpectedly saw Huo Liangchen standing not far away behind the rockery, expressionless as he watched them.
How interesting.
Huo Liangchen had actually returned.
Jian Yunong felt that the Huo Family brothers' play was becoming more and more interesting.
She didn't pick the wrong script; Jian Yunong believed she should be the supporting female role, while Bai Ru, being so beautiful, was the true leading lady.
Isn't this how stories are usually written?
The unfortunate heroine waits for a knight to come and defeat the wicked villain.
Before Jian Yunong could leave, Huo Jincheng turned around at that moment.
Jian Yunong wanted to dodge, but it was too late; Huo Jincheng had already seen her.
Jian Yunong smirked and smiled at him.
Huo Jincheng's face instantly darkened.
Jian Yunong also turned sour; oh, how dare he show her such a face.
...
Huo Jincheng pushed the door open, and Jian Yunong was reading a book.
"Is it good?" Huo Jincheng directly snatched the book from her hands. "Do you think it's quite interesting?"
Jian Yunong had a nonchalant look that was infuriating. She smiled and asked him, "So what do you want to know? Should I perform crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging myself until the whole Huo Family knows how foolish I am? Only now realizing this matter?"
"Stop being sarcastic and speak properly!"
Huo Jincheng stared at her, and in his seriousness, Jian Yunong was reminded of the most terrifying principal from her school days.
"I find it quite interesting that you treat Bai Ru so well while Huo Liangchen is watching from the shadows. What do you think his mindset is? Have you considered that the better you treat Bai Ru, the more it pains you, and he might just take advantage of her even more?"
"Shut up!"
Huo Jincheng suddenly raised his voice, a hint of anger mixed with embarrassment.
Jian Yunong frowned, surprised that she had actually hit the nail on the head.
"Your family situation is really complicated."
Jian Yunong's tone was disdainful. "To put it bluntly, your brother is truly garbage."
Using women to get back at others and as a bargaining chip for revenge is despicable.
A real man should use honorable means.
Bullying a woman—what kind of skill is that!
"Huo Jincheng, you’re not really letting your brother wear a green hat, are you?"
Jian Yunong couldn't help but ask.
Huo Jincheng's gaze turned completely cold as he looked at Jian Yunong. "Do you think I have an affair with Bai Ru? Do you think Little Dolphin is my child?"
"Then why does your brother treat you like this? If it's true, then say so; if not, then forget it. You don't need to glare at me like that."
Jian Yunong wanted to leave the room, but as soon as she stood up, Huo Jincheng pulled her back, causing her to fall onto the bed.
"Jian Yunong, after you stopped resisting sleeping with me, do you now see me as someone who is two-timing?"
Jian Yunong had never thought of it that way. If she truly felt that way in her heart, she wouldn't be sleeping with Huo Jincheng.
You can fool others, but you can't fool your own heart!
Huo Jincheng's fingers touched her face. "Don't think you can escape my control. Want a divorce? Want me to set you free? Absolutely not. Don't even think about it."
Jian Yunong never expected Huo Jincheng would know about her exam.
Her eyes widened in shock as she suddenly recalled that inexplicable upgrade at the Five-Star Hotel and how coincidentally she ran into Huo Jincheng at the airport.
A chill ran down her spine, and Jian Yunong felt particularly foolish. "Have you been following me all along?"
"Hmph." Huo Jincheng let out a derisive sound from his nose. "You really can keep secrets in your heart; I underestimated you. The driver told me everything. You certainly know how to play a double game."
Jian Yunong fell silent.
The driver couldn't handle the pressure and had confessed to Huo Jincheng?
Hmph, that tactic was truly impressive.
