Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Heartache

An Ge nodded, "I saw it." She paused, "That’s why I asked you to always wear a wig. So, we’re safe for now."

Huo Chenghuan pouted, "But wearing a wig is so hot, Huanhuan is about to get a rash."

An Ge leaned over and picked her up, pinching her rosy little face with a smile, "So, what reward do you want?"

Hearing this, Huo Chenghuan’s eyes lit up as she happily said, "I want ice cream, the strawberry kind."

An Ge said, "Sure." She paused, "But later, you’ll have to cooperate with the doctor for your shot, okay?"

Huo Chenghuan’s dark eyes rolled around, and she pouted, "Then Huanhuan wants two ice creams, because the shot really hurts."

An Ge became more serious with her, "No, you can only have one at most."

Huo Chenghuan compromised, "Okay, Huanhuan will only eat one strawberry ice cream."

An Ge corrected her, "It’s ’eat,’ not ’eat’ like that."

"Okay, Mommy, Huanhuan will only ’eat’ one," she replied, using the wrong word again.

An Ge: "..."

An Ge had scheduled an appointment with a liver specialist for Huo Chenghuan.

At present, Huo Chenghuan’s condition was stable and only required regular injections and medication to keep it under control.

Half an hour later, An Ge had completed the appointment with Huo Chenghuan.

As she collected the medicine from the pharmacy and planned to leave with Huo Chenghuan, she was blocked by An Muxin, who had come to the hospital to visit Huo Shaoyan.

An Muxin walked straight up to her, glanced coldly at Huo Chenghuan, and warned An Ge, "Brother Yan is my fiancé. I warn you, don’t get any ideas about him, or I’ll take it out on your illegitimate daughter."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Ge swung her arm and slapped her.

The slap echoed throughout the hall, drawing the attention of the crowd and leaving An Muxin in shock, unable to react for a moment.

Amid her shock and fury, An Ge coldly said to her, "Even if you don’t know how to behave, at least have some decency in your words. You’re now a renowned dancer. If things blow up, who’s going to suffer the most?"

An Muxin was too angry to speak, "You—"

An Ge no longer looked at her, taking Huo Chenghuan’s hand and turning to leave.

An Muxin didn’t rush to stop them.

Everyone around was watching her, and as An Ge said, she was now a well-known dancer; she couldn’t afford any negative news.

Moreover, her first nationwide tour was about to start; she had to swallow this indignation for now.

But that didn’t mean she could let it go.

After An Ge and Huo Chenghuan walked away, she took out her phone and called her bodyguard, instructing, "Find a way to hit that little bitch An Ge with a car..." She paused, "Hit the little one first. I want to slowly torment her until she wishes she was dead."

Meanwhile, An Ge had just driven away from Jingcheng Hospital when, only about five hundred meters from the hospital at a traffic light, she got into a car accident.

A van suddenly had brake failure and came straight at her car’s front.

Fortunately, An Ge reacted quickly and dodged in time.

But due to inertia, the car crashed into the roadside greenery, and her arm was cut by the shattered window glass.

...

An Muxin received a report from the bodyguard five minutes later.

"Miss, there was a slight accident, but the adult only has minor surface injuries, and the child was unharmed."

An Muxin was furious, "Are you useless? If you didn’t hit them, why didn’t you try again?"

The bodyguard was embarrassed, "Young Master Jiang and Young Master Lu from the Imperial City appeared at the accident scene, making it hard for my men to act."

Jiang Fengmian and Huo Shaoyan were good brothers, and Jiang Fengmian being at the scene meant the matter would soon reach Huo Shaoyan.

An Muxin didn’t dare let the matter escalate, so she quickly said, "Clean up everything and don’t leave any evidence."

"Yes."

Just after An Muxin finished the call with the bodyguard, Huo Shaoyan hurried out of the hospital room.

An Muxin immediately put on a pure and innocent smile, approaching him, "Brother..."

She hadn’t even finished her sentence when Huo Shaoyan coldly warned her, "Stay away from me."

An Muxin’s eyes brimmed with tears, but she held it all back.

She followed Huo Shaoyan to the hospital’s emergency hall.

When Huo Shaoyan found An Ge, her wounded arm was already bandaged.

Perhaps the wound hurt a lot, as An Ge looked terribly pale, her forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Huo Shaoyan was deeply worried, and as he approached, he anxiously asked, "Is the injury serious?"

The recently occurred car accident left An Ge shaken.

Had she not reacted promptly, both she and Huo Chenghuan would have been severely injured, if not dead.

After receiving quite a scare, seeing Huo Shaoyan brought a strange sense of calm.

She glanced at Huo Shaoyan and said with a smirk, "Well, the injury isn’t serious. But if I weren’t skilled at driving, you might have had to retrieve my body."

Huo Shaoyan’s face was grim. He turned his gaze to Jiang Fengmian standing behind An Ge and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Jiang Fengmian replied, "The van driver was drinking and driving when the brakes failed. The specific reason will have to wait for the traffic police’s results."

An Ge intuitively felt that the accident was not as simple as it seemed.

At that moment, she glanced at An Muxin and pointedly said to Huo Shaoyan, "President Huo, to be honest, twenty minutes ago, I had a conflict with Miss An Muxin. She insulted my daughter, and I slapped her. I’m wondering if this incident could be Miss An Muxin’s doing? After all, Miss An Muxin doesn’t seem like the type to swallow grievances."

An Muxin’s face changed instantly.

She took a deep breath and said, her eyes red, "An Ge, I admit I once humiliated you five years ago. That was my mistake, and I can apologize to you right now with a sorry. But can you stop falsely accusing me? You came back, wrecked my engagement with Brother Yan, got me dumped, and I vented my anger by saying some harsh words to you. You even slapped me back. Isn’t that enough to settle the score? On what basis are you accusing me? What makes you say the car accident is related to me?"

An Ge curled her lips into a mocking smile, "Isn’t intuition enough?"

An Muxin was somewhat agitated, "Intuition? Should I be smeared by you just because of your intuition? Are you going to say the fire five years ago was also my doing because of your intuition?"

An Ge gave her a deep look, "It’s not impossible. After all, people are unpredictable."

After saying this, An Ge turned to Huo Shaoyan amid An Muxin’s resentment and anger and asked, "President Huo, what do you think about this matter?"

Huo Shaoyan only had eyes for An Ge.

His gaze carried a deep, dark intensity filled with complex and fierce emotions, unknowingly giving the impression that he indulged her.

He stepped forward and, after carefully checking her, hoarsely said, "I will get to the bottom of this."

An Ge let out a soft laugh, looking up at his incredibly handsome face, and asked, "If it turns out An Muxin did it, would you send her to jail?"

Huo Shaoyan didn’t answer her question directly but said, "Whether you believe it or not, I won’t let you suffer any more grievances."

An Ge laughed, her voice carrying an undeniable indifference, "Really? Because of the cord blood paternity test result? Do you regret it so much that you want to make it up to me?"

Huo Shaoyan, without much hesitation, replied, "Of course."

An Ge nodded, "I heard you are the largest sponsor for An Muxin’s upcoming nationwide dance tour?"

Before Huo Shaoyan could answer, An Muxin, overwhelmed with emotion, interrupted, "What are you going to do?"

An Ge gave her a slight smile and asked, "I told you before, you’re the niece of my mentor Qin Huaisheng. As long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t make trouble for you. But obviously, you’ve overstepped, and there’s no reason for me to keep putting up with it."

An Muxin’s pupils constricted sharply, but she quickly composed herself.

With firm conviction, she declared, "You won’t ruin my nationwide dance tour. With my reputation in the dance world, even if Brother Yan withdraws sponsorship, other capitalists will rush to back me. Even if they’re scared off by Brother Yan’s pressure, I have the backing of the An Family in the Imperial City. Do you think our family would struggle without this sponsorship fee? An Ge, I’m not someone you can mess with."

At this point, An Ge smiled and asked Huo Shaoyan, "President Huo, what do you think?"
