Chapter 170: Chapter 170: President Huo Protects His Wife, A Bit Pampered

Young Master Huo didn’t say anything.

Huo Nuan continued, "They’re both in pretty good condition, but it’d be best for them to stay in bed and rest for 24 hours."

Young Master Huo chatted with Huo Nuan for a while longer, and just before they ended the call, Huo Nuan mentioned offhandedly, "Do you know what’s going on between Qingyi and Feng Mian? Lately, I’ve noticed they can’t seem to stand each other. What on earth is happening with them?"

Jiang Fengmian was the adopted son of the Jiang Family. Although he was the eldest among his generation in the Jiang Family, he wasn’t their biological child. Whatever the truth was, it was undoubtedly the most scandalous part of the high-society drama. Of course, Young Master Huo couldn’t reveal the truth to Huo Nuan, so he said, "They’ve always been like that."

Despite his words, Huo Nuan still muttered, "I can’t shake the feeling there’s something fishy between them. But logically, if there’s anything out of line happening, it must be Qingyi’s fault. That girl has been spoiled by the elders in the family, and now even I can’t control her."

Young Master Huo chuckled softly, "A doting mother can spoil her child. Who told you not to be tough-hearted back then? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up so ruined because of Tang Jiuze."

After ending the call with Huo Nuan, he looked up to see An Ge and An Baoying coming out of the hospital building one after the other.

As Young Master Huo walked over, Fu Rou, who had arrived at the hospital earlier, reached them first. Naturally, Fu Rou sided with An Baoying. After a round of warm inquiries about her well-being, she shot An Ge a cold glance and said, "I truly don’t know what kind of love potion you’ve given Ah Yan, for him to actually suspect that your child is his. It’s just absurd!"

An Ge knew she would soon sever her marital ties with Young Master Huo; then she’d truly be on her own. She didn’t want to make another enemy. Therefore, in the face of Fu Rou’s cold words, she remained completely unfazed.

Fu Rou, seeing her dismissive attitude, grew even more furious. As she thought about her son still being tied up with a woman like this and recalled that An Ge had slapped Young Master Huo that night, she became enraged. She raised her arm and swung at An Ge’s face.

An Ge didn’t dodge.

In truth, she could have avoided it, but upon seeing Young Master Huo approaching, she decided not to move for reasons she couldn’t quite decipher. When Fu Rou’s slap came close to her face, she realized why she hadn’t avoided it. She had hoped.

She had hoped Young Master Huo might stop his mother, but he didn’t. Of course, the slap from Fu Rou didn’t succeed, as Nan Xiao, who had come to pick up An Ge, intercepted her just in time.

Nan Xiao, with practiced skill, blocked Fu Rou’s wrist and then coldly mocked, "Is a woman who’s been abandoned by a man she loved deeply always so bitter inside? Despite your own marriage failing miserably, you still interfere in your son’s affairs? Lady Fu, you should be thankful you still have a son to rely on. Otherwise, even with the Fu Family as your backing, you’d just be a parasite leeching off your family."

Being abandoned by Huo Zhenwei was the greatest pain in Fu Rou’s life. She had attempted suicide numerous times to try and win Huo Zhenwei back. Now, being reminded of it by someone younger was nothing short of humiliating. Fu Rou’s features twisted with rage.

Nan Xiao, however, no longer looked at her and instead turned his gaze to Young Master Huo, his tone growing more sarcastic, "President Huo, since you granted her the position of Mrs. Huo, you should accord her the corresponding respect and support, not stand idly by when she faces humiliation and assault."

Pausing, he laughed coldly, "Of course, I heard that An Ge has already signed the divorce agreement, but even as an ex-wife, is it necessary to be so heartless and cold-blooded?"

Nan Xiao truly felt indignant for An Ge.

After speaking to Young Master Huo, he took An Ge’s phone from her hand, found a short video, and pressed play. The video was about An Baoying and her flings, intended to be shown at An Baoying’s and Young Master Huo’s engagement party. However, on the day of the party, An Ge had fainted from agitation, so she only managed to play the audio recording and not the video. Afterward, she’d been busy with Ms. Wen Ning’s funeral and investigating her own origins, so this had been delayed until now.

Now, as Nan Xiao made the video public, it was a huge blow to An Baoying and a slap in the face to Fu Rou, who had been shielding her all along.

In the video, there wasn’t just one man; at some points, An Baoying handled up to three at a time, crossing boundaries that were beyond Fu Rou’s understanding. Fu Rou’s eyes narrowed and narrowed again, shifting from outrage to loathing when looking at An Baoying, taking only a few seconds. She didn’t hesitate even a little, but turned and slapped An Baoying’s cheek decisively, "Shameless!"

An Baoying almost lost her balance from the slap, staggering violently. She clutched her reddened and swollen face, her voice trembling as she defended herself, "No...no, it’s not me. This is fabricated. The woman in this isn’t me..."

She cried, her gaze landing on the expressionless Young Master Huo, her voice quivering, "Young Master Huo, please say something for me. I was with you for my first time. If I were such a depraved woman, wouldn’t you know? That night, there was blood. Don’t you remember?"

Young Master Huo remembered, but his words made An Baoying tremble all over. "That night in the Huo Family’s cellar, besides you, there was An Ge too. Who knows if the woman I was with that night was truly you?"

His words left not only An Baoying speechless with terror, but Fu Rou also widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked at An Ge in shock, her voice thick with emotion as she asked, "Is what Ah Yan said true? Is there really a possibility that the child inside you is my grandchild?"

But An Ge didn’t look at her, nor did she respond. Instead, she looked up at Young Master Huo and asked, with little emotion, "President Huo, I’ve already signed the divorce agreement. When do you plan to sign it?"

The indifference and distance in her tone displeased Young Master Huo greatly. He raised his hand, tugged at his tie, and only after undoing two buttons did he feel he could breathe again. His voice carried a hint of annoyance, "I’m not in a rush. Why are you?"

An Ge merely let out an "Oh," then said to Nan Xiao, "Let’s go."

With that, she left accompanied by Nan Xiao and Sister Li.

Young Master Huo didn’t immediately go after her. Only after they had completely gone did he withdraw his gaze and fix it on the trembling An Baoying, his voice cold, "From now on, you can start praying that the child in your belly is truly mine. Otherwise, you’ll regret ever being born."

After delivering the cold verdict to An Baoying, Young Master Huo turned his gaze to the complex expression on Fu Rou’s face, his voice icy and devoid of any warmth, "This was the last time. No matter how despicable she is, it’s not your place to lay a hand on her."

Pausing, he spoke in a meaningful tone, "Even if she drives me almost to death, I still wouldn’t touch a hair on her head. You touch her, and it’s as if you’re touching the one taboo thing on my body. You’d better watch yourself."

After tossing out these words, Young Master Huo turned and walked away.

Fu Rou watched his retreating figure, her emotions turbulent. "Ah Yan, Mom... Mom only wants what’s best for you..."

But the only response from him was his cold, unyielding back.

After slamming the car door shut, Young Master Huo instructed Qin Lang, the driver, "Follow her."

Throwing this sentence, he bowed his head, running his finger over the Buddha Beads bracelet on his wrist, rolling each one as if trying to calm the tumultuous feelings churning inside him.

The car arrived at [Yu Garden] half an hour later.

Young Master Huo didn’t immediately go upstairs to find An Ge. He leaned against the car door, smoked three or four cigarettes, and only when the smell of smoke had mostly dissipated from his body did he stand up.

Five minutes later, he knocked on An Ge’s door.
