Chapter 108: Chapter 108: President Huo Is Smitten~

Young Master Huo agreed to accompany An Baoying to choose an engagement ring because Fu Rou, who was infuriated, threatened him. If he didn’t go with An Baoying to pick out the engagement ring, Fu Rou would refuse treatment. His mother was someone he cared about, so Huo Shaoyan had no choice but to compromise.

An Ge was taken aback by his words. Right, why did she think the man would help her? She had just challenged him; it was lucky enough he wasn’t out to settle scores. On the other end of the phone, she pursed her lips and, after a moment of silence, said quietly, "Sorry for disturbing you; I was presumptuous. Bye..."

As she was about to hang up, Huo Shaoyan called her, "Come to Fengqiao Villa to see me tonight..."

An Ge interrupted him, "No need." She didn’t want any more cold water thrown over her.

An Ge hung up on Huo Shaoyan. Just after she disconnected from Huo Shaoyan, An Baoying’s call came through to her phone. An Ge hesitated only for a second before answering it.

As soon as the call connected, An Baoying’s imperious laughter rang out, "An Ge, what do you have to compete with me? Stop wasting your time; it’s useless. You’re destined to be under my feet all your life, unable to turn things around."

An Ge listened to her, then said coldly, "Get to the point. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense."

An Baoying was so angry she turned pale and said through gritted teeth, "I just wanted to tell you, Young Master Huo is my man. He’s with me now, picking out an engagement ring at the jewelry store. We’re getting engaged on the fifteenth of next month, so keep away from him. Otherwise, next time it won’t be a bucket of cold water thrown at you, but acid!"

An Ge waited for her to finish speaking, then pressed the record button and said, "Well, congratulations on your dreams almost coming true. But I’m rather curious, how did you manage to push Young Master Huo’s mother into the lake that day? At the time, my hands had just touched the wheelchair handles when it shot uncontrollably toward the man-made lake. Don’t tell me the incident has nothing to do with you."

An Baoying believed An Ge couldn’t stir up much trouble, so momentarily lost herself in pride, saying, "Does the truth of this matter matter? What’s important is that Young Master Huo personally kicked you out of the East Garden of the Huo Mansion. Now, you’re like a stray dog without a place to stay, and I’m about to become the first young madam of a prestigious family, haha..."

An Ge listened to her, smiled slightly, and said, "So, you’re admitting that Young Master Huo’s mother falling into the lake has something to do with you?"

An Baoying soon realized An Ge was leading her on and immediately stopped, angrily saying, "Don’t talk nonsense. It never happened. Remember this, An Ge: the next time you see me, go the other way, or I’ll step on you every time, leaving you forever unable to turn the situation around."

Faced with An Baoying’s threats, An Ge didn’t care at all. She said, "Have you finished?"

An Baoying: "..."

An Ge continued, "Now it’s my turn. An Baoying, do you want to make a bet? I bet your engagement won’t happen."

Hearing this, An Baoying was so angry she nearly exploded, shouting, "Bitch, what are you plotting this time?"

An Ge smirked and coldly replied, "You think because you’ve clung onto Young Master Huo’s mother, you can securely sit in the Mrs. Huo’s seat? Don’t forget what kind of person you are. Do you have any idea how many men you’ve been with before you were with Young Master Huo?"

This comment hit An Baoying where it hurt, "What evidence do you have?"

An Ge sneered, "I don’t have any yet, but soon there will be." With these words, An Ge hung up on An Baoying. Her anger nearly drove An Baoying to smash her phone.

"What are you doing?" Huo Shaoyan returned after answering An Ge’s call and looked at the emotionally unhinged An Baoying coldly. "Why are you so irrational?"

An Baoying was trembling with anxiety. After calming down, she quickly replied, "It... it was An Ge."

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes, "Hmm?"

An Baoying took a deep breath and said, "She even cursed our child to be malformed. I was so angry that I lost control. Young Master Huo, my sister is truly sinister. She is jealous I am living better than her and constantly sows discord between us. Please... don’t let her manipulate you; I don’t want you to become another Young Master Tang."

Hearing this, Huo Shaoyan’s brows furrowed, "What happened between her and Tang Jiuze?"

An Baoying glanced at Huo Shaoyan’s darkening expression, her eyes flashing maliciously. "When she was sixteen, she was kidnapped, and Young Master Tang risked his life to save her. That year, Young Master Tang nearly lost his life saving her. But An Ge showed no gratitude and even cheated on him with the eldest Young Master of the Tang Family while Young Master Tang was in the hospital, which broke Young Master Tang’s heart. That’s why he temporarily gave up on An Ge and pursued Ms. Jiang, Jiang Qingyi..."

Huo Shaoyan’s expression grew increasingly grim. He spoke with cold anger, "Since you know she’s that kind of person, you should cut off all ties with her instead of shamelessly cozying up to her!"

With that, Huo Shaoyan turned to leave.

An Baoying hurriedly chased after him, "Young Master Huo, where are you going? Didn’t you say you’d accompany me to choose the engagement ring?"

Huo Shaoyan paused and glanced at her, "Can’t you pick an engagement ring without me? Last time you tried on the wedding dress without me, didn’t you do just fine?"

An Baoying: "..."

After Huo Shaoyan left, he called Qin Huai, "Look into what happened with An Ge’s mother’s kidney donation back then."

Qin Lang acknowledged and then said, "Sir, there’s something I don’t know if I should mention."

Huo Shaoyan: "Speak!"

Qin Lang said, "Young Master Tang seems to still have feelings for Ms. An Ge. Two of his men are following her. Do you think we should intervene?"

Huo Shaoyan’s breath turned icy as he angrily said, "What’s it to me? I’m not her man."

Qin Lang felt that something was amiss with Huo Shaoyan. He thought the boss seemed not only jealous but also interested.

However, he couldn’t directly point this out, so he suggested, "Then, should I just notify Ms. Jiang and let her intervene?"

"Do as you please."

**

On the other end, after Huo Shaoyan hung up on her, An Ge got in touch with Xiao Ye. She gave a brief account of last night’s plea to Huo Shaoyan and said, "He has agreed to show mercy. But if we mess up, he’ll still force us into bankruptcy."

After a pause, she asked, "What’s your situation? Has Master Xiao agreed to help?"

Xiao Ye, having slept off a hangover from the previous night, scratched his bedhead and replied, "My uncle hasn’t made a move yet. But..."

He changed the subject, "But when I went back to the old house last night, I caught him having a romp in the car with your fellow inmate, Ms. Nan. Dude, you wouldn’t believe it; the scene was like an earthquake. My uncle’s hips moved like a pile driver, nine deep, one shallow, and Ms. Nan was beyond ecstatic..."

"..."

After gossiping about his uncle, Xiao Ye turned the conversation to An Ge.

He asked, "By the way, whose child is in your belly? If you can’t find the baby’s father, I’ll marry you."

An Ge replied, "What if I say it’s Huo Shaoyan’s? Do you believe it?"

Her words were shocking, and Xiao Ye almost fell out of bed. "Hell no, are you kidding me?"

But all he heard in response was the beep of a disconnected call.

Driven by the need to know the truth, Xiao Ye called Huo Shaoyan afterward. He asked urgently, "Huo Shaoyan, An Ge said her baby is yours. Is that true?"

With those words, Huo Shaoyan’s breath became heavy, "Did she say that herself?"
