Chapter 111: Chapter 111 President Huo Domineeringly Protects His Wife~

She forcibly suppressed the surge of frantic emotions that rose in her heart. She really shouldn’t have. Once a woman developed feelings for a man based on some kind of profound emotion, it became the most lethal. She shouldn’t harbor such emotions for this man who always spoke harshly to her and was cold and heartless. She stopped speaking.

The car arrived at [Fengqiao Villa] forty minutes later. She followed Young Master Huo inside, and just as they entered, a sobered-up Xiao Chaofeng arrived. He was still wearing the outfit An Ge had seen him in on the cruise during the day, a beige trench coat stained with a lot of blood—Lu Huai’an’s blood. An Ge guessed that after he sobered up, he had immediately found his way here. As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on her face. An Ge wasn’t sure if she was mistaken, but in that fleeting moment, she seemed to see a trace of guilt in his eyes.

"You still dare to come?" the words were spoken by Huo Shaoyan to Xiao Chaofeng as he walked in. Xiao Chaofeng met his murderous gaze and said reluctantly, "Isn’t she fine? What are you yelling at me for? If you want to blame someone, blame her for being so appealing to men. It’s her own bad luck."

Huo Shaoyan lit a cigarette and, while taking a drag, jerked his chin in An Ge’s direction, "This has nothing to do with you. Get upstairs."

When living under someone else’s roof, one had no right to speak, especially when she had caused such a disaster. An Ge quickly left the living room.

She had just reached the second floor when the sound of a fight erupted from downstairs. An Ge was startled, and with a quick glance down, she saw Xiao Chaofeng, who had just taken a punch from Huo Shaoyan, collapse onto the sofa. The man who was completely turned away from her suddenly turned back and shot her a sharp look, "Still not gone?"

Terrified, An Ge fled in haste.

Once Huo Shaoyan vented his anger, he sat down on the sofa opposite Xiao Chaofeng. Xiao Chaofeng rubbed his bruised mouth, cursing, "You really had to hit me so hard over a woman?" Huo Shaoyan stubbed out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and coolly eyed him, "What’s the situation with Lu Huai’an now?"

Xiao Chaofeng replied, "He’s still in the intensive care unit, and the situation doesn’t look optimistic."

Huo Shaoyan’s brows furrowed instantly, "Didn’t he just get a few stitches from a hit? How come it’s not looking good? Is he made of paper?" Xiao Chaofeng explained, "An Xiaoge’s hit might have only required a few stitches at most. But, when the attending doctor was doing a brain CT, they found a tumor on his brainstem, which could very well be malignant."

Huo Shaoyan clenched his back teeth, "If he dies because of this tumor, will the Lu Family hold us responsible?"

Xiao Chaofeng said, "For now, whether he dies or not, the Lu Family will hold us responsible. I heard that Lu Lao and his mother, Mrs. Lu, have already arrived at [Jingcheng Airport]."

Huo Shaoyan pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, wanting to kick Xiao Chaofeng to death, "Why didn’t you stop him then?"

Xiao Chaofeng felt aggrieved, "I was heavily drunk and saw double."

Huo Shaoyan’s anger flared up again, "Why didn’t you drink yourself to death?"

Xiao Chaofeng could understand Huo Shaoyan because, due to this incident, the over-a-billion-investment medical project in the Imperial City was likely to get scrapped. Real money was involved, enough to make anyone furious. The priority was to solve the problem now.

Xiao Chaofeng, also at his wits’ end, asked, "So what do we do now?"

Huo Shaoyan lit another cigarette and said, "Arrange a meeting with Lu Lao. I’ll visit him personally tomorrow." He paused, "Later, find Feng Mian, he’s a top neurosurgeon at [Jingcheng Hospital]; see if he can perform the brain tumor surgery on Lu Huai’an."

Xiao Chaofeng agreed and got up to leave. Before he left, Huo Shaoyan asked, "Was Lu Huai’an the one who hit her face as well?"

Xiao Chaofeng was left speechless. Oh, my God, with such a huge investment project almost gone, and you’re worried about her face?

Xiao Chaofeng gave Huo Shaoyan a complicated look for a long moment before he spoke, "His bodyguard hit her." After a pause, he asked, "Do you really care about her?"

Huo Shaoyan kicked at him, "If I truly cared about her, I’d have let that Lu die on the operating table, and you’d have had to go along with him."

Xiao Chaofeng: "..."

Not long after Xiao Chaofeng left, Huo Shaoyan received a call from Fu Rou.

Fu Rou got straight to the point, "Ah Yan, where are you hiding that An girl?"

Huo Shaoyan answered evasively, "How do you know about this?"

He had clearly instructed that Fu Rou shouldn’t be disturbed by this, and yet, it’s only been a few hours?

On the other end of the phone, Fu Rou’s breathing got heavier as she spoke in anger. "I have my own channels. Ah Yan, listen to Mother and stay away from that woman. She’s nothing but trouble, you can’t protect—"

Huo Shaoyan cut her off, "Should I let her die instead? Don’t forget, I still need her blood to treat my illness."

With that one sentence, Huo Shaoyan ended the call with Fu Rou. Fu Rou was so infuriated that she nearly fainted.

At this moment, An Baoying quickly brought her a glass of water and held it to her mouth, soothing her, "Aunt, there’s a saying that goes, ’the boat will bridge the pier when it gets there.’ Panicking won’t help anyone. The key is making sure the Lu Family doesn’t retaliate, so they won’t implicate Young Master Huo."

After drinking the water and calming down for a moment, Fu Rou asked, "What ideas do you have?" Pausing to hint, "You’re going to be the Huo Family matriarch in the future; some intelligence is necessary."

An Baoying quickly said, "Actually, it’s not difficult. As long as we hand over my good-for-nothing sister to the Lu Family to deal with, it could solve the problem."

Fu Rou frowned, "It’s a good plan. But, An Ge is your sister, you..."

An Baoying replied, "Although she is my sister, her heart is not righteous, repeatedly causing trouble; without suffering a little, she won’t turn away from evil. I am just...acting out of tough love."

Fu Rou thought for a moment, saying, "But since Ah Yan has hidden her, it won’t be easy to bring her out."

An Baoying said, "I have a way."

...

After showering upstairs, An Ge received a call from An Baoying.

Whenever An Baoying reached out, it was rarely good news. But it didn’t necessarily mean it was bad either. Sometimes, the more the enemy exposes their ambition, the more one can seize their weakness.

With that in mind, An Ge answered An Baoying’s call.

An Ge decided to be upfront, "What? Heard I got into some trouble, so you specifically called to give me a kick while I’m down?"

An Baoying’s voice was cold, "Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused Young Master Huo this time? He has invested a billion in that medical project in the Imperial City. That project was just waiting for the Lu Family’s approval to proceed, and because of you, the project is basically ruined."

An Ge didn’t know that this incident would involve Huo Shaoyan’s billion-dollar project. She stayed silent, feeling a mix of emotions. At this moment, steady footsteps came from outside the door. An Ge knew it was Huo Shaoyan. Was he coming to settle accounts with her?
