Chapter 1152: Extra Chapter Seventeen

It was already eleven o’clock at night when the conversation with He Beimu ended.

At this time, his son had already fallen asleep, so Huo Chengyi decided not to disturb him.

He sat at the stone table in the Lu family’s villa garden to relax for a while.

Lin Yushan walked over, holding a cup of Calming Tea.

"You have also had a tough day," she said as she placed the tea in front of Huo Chengyi, trying to console him.

"This is my Huo Family’s responsibility, what we owe that child. There’s nothing too tough about it; I am just worn out from running around, while that child suffers the pain of losing his parents. If I had known earlier that there was still a child alive from the He Family, I should have found him earlier to communicate and make amends," Huo Chengyi replied.

"You really are responsible and committed," Lin Yushan said emotionally.

"You flatter me," Huo Chengyi responded.

"You don’t need to be too sad, this isn’t your fault, the responsibility is not yours," Lin Yushan further consoled.

In the past six months, since Huo Chengyi had visited Huo Ting from time to time, they had met quite often and even had occasional chats.

Though they had never had a deep conversation, Lin Yushan felt that there had been some subtle changes in their relationship.

"Since I have inherited the Huo Group and sit as the chairman of the Huo Group, enjoying the money and power it brings me, I must also take responsibility for the debts and mistakes of the Huo Family," Huo Chengyi disagreed with Lin Yushan.

"That’s true... I was being narrow-minded," Lin Yushan quickly corrected herself.

Just after a couple of exchanges, the cellphone Huo Chengyi had placed on the stone table rang; it was his private phone, the number known only to close friends and family.

The name displayed on the caller ID attracted Lin Yushan’s attention.

Sheng Wushuang, the female CEO of Huasheng Group, a famously strong businesswoman.

The last time she saw this name was when her ex-husband had been unfaithful. She had helped expose the true nature of her ex-husband.

Later, she learned that Sheng Wushuang had been summoned by the Butler, presumably because she had once received a favor from him.

Huo Chengyi glanced at the phone number, hesitated for a while, and then chose to press the reject button.

"Is this Ms. Sheng from Huasheng? Why didn’t Mr. Huo answer her call?" Lin Yushan asked curiously.

"It’s nothing important," Huo Chengyi offered no explanation.

Then he glanced at his watch, "It’s getting late, I should head back to the hotel, I’ll come back tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Huo Chengyi got up and left.

Lin Yushan suddenly felt a wave of loneliness.

A woman’s intuition told her that there was something between Huo Chengyi and Sheng Wushuang, but she couldn’t quite define what it should be.

She turned to look at the cup of untouched Calming Tea on the table, and a wave of loneliness overwhelmed her.

Huo Chengyi had just checked into the presidential suite at the Litai Hotel when the doorbell rang.

Through the video doorbell screen, Huo Chengyi saw Sheng Wushuang.

After a moment of hesitation, Huo Chengyi pressed the respond button.

"How did you know I was here?" Huo Chengyi asked.

"You stay in this room at this hotel every time you come to Huacheng, what do I have to guess?" Sheng Wushuang responded with a bright, cheerful smile.

Then Sheng Wushuang said, "Does Mr. Huo plan to talk to me like this? Compared to talking through an intercom, I think a face-to-face conversation is more appropriate."

Huo Chengyi was silent for a moment, then hung up the intercom, went to the door, and opened it for Sheng Wushuang.

As soon as the door opened, Sheng Wushuang, stepping on her high heels, threw herself into Huo Chengyi’s arms...
