Chapter 312: Chapter 312 President Huo Chases His Wife

On the other end of the phone, Gu Changfeng curled his lips and let out a low, soft laugh:

"Miss An, do you think by canceling the employment contract with me and having Cui Zhu attend to you personally, you’ve truly rid yourself of me?"

An Muxin trembled all over with rage.

She took a deep breath and shouted angrily:

"Gu Changfeng, what exactly do you want? I’m asking you... what the hell do you actually want?"

Her last sentence was practically screamed, as if she had gone mad.

But the only response she received was the beeping sound of a disconnected call.

An Muxin felt like she was about to lose her mind.

She thought that if she didn’t eliminate Gu Changfeng, this thorn in her side, she would never be able to sleep peacefully.

Yet, Gu Changfeng had grown mysteriously elusive, making it almost impossible to pin him down, let alone bring him to ruin.

She had to keep calm; otherwise, she’d end up being played by this psychopath.

...

The next day, An Ge woke from a dream so beautiful that she didn’t want to leave it.

In the dream, a voice was calling out to her.

Low and tender, intoxicatingly seductive, as if it were right next to her ear, repeating over and over.

"Xiaoqi, you need to recover soon."

"Once you do, Sixth Brother will take you to see the rainbow-colored sea."

"Once you recover, we’ll find a place no one can ever find us again, and we’ll live well, quietly, together."

"..."

That dream was so breathtakingly beautiful, it almost felt real.

When An Ge woke up, her eyes were slightly reddened as she stared at the ceiling above her.

After a while, she picked up her phone and scrolled to Gu Ru Yi’s WeChat, sending her a message: Busy?

At this time, Gu Ru Yi had just woken up as well.

Seeing the message, she replied immediately: Not busy, I’m off today.

Upon reading the reply, An Ge called her directly.

Gu Ru Yi answered right away and joked, "You’re calling me so early—something’s up for sure. What’s going on?"

An Ge thought for a moment, then said:

"I... I wanted to ask, is there any chance that Sixth Brother of the Qin family, Qin Jingzhi, isn’t actually dead? Maybe... maybe he’s still alive?"

Gu Ru Yi didn’t hesitate at all, responding to An Ge, "Impossible. I saw his corpse with my own eyes..."

An Ge interrupted her:

"What you saw was a body crushed by beams and burned beyond recognition. You couldn’t truly confirm it was Qin Jingzhi, could you?"

Gu Ru Yi felt An Ge was a little emotional.

She thought about it for a while, then spoke:

"If you put it that way, there’s maybe such a possibility. But the odds are almost zero. At the time, Qin Jingzhi’s lifelong jade pendant was found on the body, so it shouldn’t have been mistaken."

After a pause, she added pointedly:

"Even supposing your unlikely scenario were true, he’s the sole survivor of the Qin family, and it’s been over ten years since the Qin family massacre. He shouldn’t have stayed hidden all this time, don’t you think?

Even if he couldn’t avenge the slaughter of the Qin family, he should at least be visiting the ancestral tomb on the death anniversary each year, shouldn’t he?"

Hearing this, An Ge fell silent for a long time, before slowly opening her mouth to say:

"Actually, I’m reaching out to ask you—if Qin Jingzhi were still alive, if he were standing in front of you right now, would you... still be able to recognize him?"

Talking about Qin Jingzhi made Gu Ru Yi feel quite melancholic.

In her memories, Qin Jingzhi was as beautiful as flourishing jade, his thoughts impressively delicate.

When she had her first period and stained her dress, it was Qin Jingzhi who took off his jacket to help her out of embarrassment.

Moreover, her very first sanitary pad was bought by Qin Jingzhi for her.

Just based on that youthful kindness, the memory of Qin Jingzhi’s tragic demise still rendered Gu Ru Yi deeply sorrowful.

Gu Ru Yi pursed her lips for a moment and said:

"If he were still alive, even if he’d been burned beyond recognition, as long as he could breathe, I might still be able to recognize him."

After a pause, she added, "He has a crescent-shaped birthmark near his lower back."

An inexplicable image flashed through An Ge’s mind at that moment.

Gu Changfeng!

An Ge refused to believe in coincidental connections.

This time, she had managed to expose the treacherous schemes of An Baoying and An Muxin, thanks to Gu Changfeng’s advance warning.

Even though Gu Changfeng claimed to bear a deep vendetta against An Muxin and the An family,

even though he said she looked similar to his missing younger sister, she couldn’t believe that someone as sharp and detached as Gu Changfeng would offer her help out of pure goodwill.

It made her wonder—was it possible that Gu Changfeng might actually be the Qin family survivor?

Like Qin Jingzhi, the sixth son of the Qin family?

Sometimes, if you believe in the notion of fate and causation, you will find yourself relying on the recurring figures or objects in your dreams, thinking they must portend something in reality.

Thinking about this, An Ge said:

"Recently, I encountered a man. I keep feeling that... he might have connections to the Qin family."

After pausing for a moment, she continued, "Are you... free to meet me today?"

Gu Ru Yi had finished her business trip in Jingcheng and completed her tasks.

She had taken a few days of annual leave and planned to spend the time leisurely exploring the city.

Thus, she was available.

She replied to An Ge, "Sure. Shall I come to you?"

Since An Ge was hospitalized, she gave her location to Gu Ru Yi.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ru Yi was quite surprised: "You’re... in the hospital? What happened?"

Casually, An Ge recounted the events of the previous day to Gu Ru Yi, then said:

"It’s nothing serious, really—just injured my arm and had a few stitches."

Gu Ru Yi muttered an "oh," then remarked:

"I really didn’t expect An Muxin to have such a sinister mind. I used to like her quite a bit." She paused briefly, then added, "Does Lu Huai’an know about this?"

An Ge replied, "I haven’t told him yet. But news like this travels fast—it’s likely he already knows."

After finishing her sentence, An Ge recalled something and asked Gu Ru Yi, "Lu Huai’an... has he come to see you yet?"

Gu Ru Yi responded, "I’m not the one he cares about—why would he come see me? He’d probably wish for me to stay far away from him."

After speaking with Gu Ru Yi for a while, Nanny Lin arrived with breakfast for An Ge.

After laying out the breakfast on the table, Nanny Lin said to An Ge:

"Miss, I just saw President Huo’s car downstairs." She paused, then added, "I saw him getting out of the car, holding a large bouquet of red roses—I think he’s trying to ask for your forgiveness."

In response, An Ge showed little reaction.

She got out of bed, washed up, and started eating breakfast.

Nanny Lin looked at her noticeably thinner face with a trace of pain in her expression and said:

"Miss, you’ve lost so much weight. You’re expecting, so you should eat more."

An Ge grunted in acknowledgment and instructed Nanny Lin, "Take Xiao Liu and go to Huo Mansion later to bring Huanhuan back to Fusheng Residence."

Nanny Lin nodded: "Alright, Miss."

While they were speaking, Anna entered.

Seeing An Ge eating, Anna decided to hold off on telling her about An Baoying’s death.

But An Ge still sensed that Anna had something on her mind, so she took the initiative to ask: "Did something happen to An Baoying?"

Anna nodded lightly and said, "She fell to her death."

An Ge squinted her eyes. "Can it be investigated?"

Anna took out a surveillance video and showed it to An Ge.

"Since An Baoying was a suspect, her room was monitored. I managed to obtain footage from the time she fell."

An Ge put down her chopsticks and took the phone from Anna, pressing play on the video file.

The video was short, lasting just two to three minutes.

But within those two minutes, it captured the entire sequence of events: An Baoying suddenly waking up in her hospital bed, getting out of bed, walking to the window, and jumping to her death.

There was no one else in the room aside from An Baoying.

From the surveillance footage alone, it seemed that An Baoying had indeed committed suicide out of guilt.

But An Ge didn’t believe it.

Yet, faced with the evidence, she had nothing to say.

An Ge lost her appetite for breakfast.

Looking at her, Anna remarked:

"Now that there’s no evidence against her, and An Muxin has considerable backing, we can only impose minor repercussions on her this time."

An Ge agreed with what Anna said.

She simply felt it was a pity—for example, the clues regarding her own origins had been cut off.

That jade pendant, which could prove her identity—was it still with An Muxin? If it was, she probably wouldn’t reveal it anymore.

Moreover, the evidence about An Muxin’s plot to harm Huo Huaisang could also be at risk of vanishing.

Now that An Muxin was wary of her, it would be far harder to uncover evidence of her crimes.

It was entirely possible that An Muxin had dealt with everyone involved in her attempts to harm Huo Huaisang ahead of time, leaving the investigation to hit dead ends.

Noticing An Ge’s anxiety, Anna tried to console her:

"Things aren’t as bad as you think. At the very least, An Muxin is now cornered. To avoid jail time, she’ll likely comply without hesitation and donate blood to Young Master Huo, won’t she?"

Anna’s comment hit the mark; a heavy weight lifted off An Ge’s shoulders.

She nodded. "You’re right. At least my son’s life can be saved now."

As the two continued speaking, Huo Shaoyan arrived.

However, he was blocked by bodyguards at the door.

One bodyguard entered and reported to An Ge: "President Huo is here with Young Master Huo. Would you like to see them?"

There’s a saying: strike where it hurts.

If Huo Shaoyan had come alone, An Ge would have refused to see him.

But he had brought Huo Huaisang, making it hard for her to decline.

If she met only Huo Huaisang and not Huo Shaoyan, it might leave the young Huo Huaisang feeling troubled by his parents’ discord, which could harm his mental health.

Therefore, An Ge had no choice but to let Huo Shaoyan in.

It was unclear how Huo Shaoyan had managed to win over Huo Huaisang.

Huo Huaisang held up a large bouquet of red roses in front of An Ge and said:

"Mom, these are from Dad for you."

If Huo Shaoyan had delivered the flowers to An Ge himself, she would surely have thrown them in the trash.

But since Huo Huaisang was the one handing her the flowers, she couldn’t do that.

All she could do was take them.

Seeing her accept the flowers, Huo Huaisang glanced back at Huo Shaoyan.

Huo Shaoyan gave a small nod, signaling him to keep going.

Reluctantly, Huo Huaisang continued to speak to An Ge: "Mom, how’s your injury? Does it still hurt?"
