Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Fortunately, The Shadow Lingers On_1

Director Liu, seeing how anxious Huo Yingjie was, realized he had misunderstood.

"Have some tea, have some tea, don’t be nervous," Director Liu said soothingly, pulling an envelope from beneath a folder.

As soon as he saw the envelope, Huo Yingjie recognized it as the type that He Tiantian usually used, along with the stamps.

Huo Yingjie hurriedly took the letter, pulled out the contents, and found there were two letters inside.

"Why are there two letters?" Huo Yingjie wondered, casually picking up the breakup letter. He found the handwriting familiar. As he read the content inside, he grew even more furious, "This isn’t what I wrote."

Imitating his handwriting?

Another plot like this?

Humph!

Despicable!

"I know, it was written by Zhou Yuanyuan," Director Liu replied, "There’s also a photo in the envelope."

Huo Yingjie was taken aback, wasn’t that Qin Jian Guo?

How had it become Zhou Yuanyuan now?

Huo Yingjie shook the envelope, and another photograph fell out!

Indeed, it was Zhou Yuanyuan!

Huo Yingjie immediately understood that Zhou Yuanyuan had mimicked his handwriting to write a breakup letter to He Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie’s expression grew stern, worried He Tiantian might misunderstand, and he quickly opened her letter.

After reading the letter, Huo Yingjie lowered his head.

Sweet Treasure was genuinely wonderful!

Sweet Treasure was truly amazing!

She still trusted him just like before!

This very fact made Huo Yingjie feel ashamed and yet immensely relieved at the same time!

Things had changed, events around him, and those around He Tiantian had also changed!

No matter what, his heart wouldn’t change!

When Huo Yingjie looked up again, Director Liu saw moisture in his eyes and a hint of a tear at the corner.

Ah, what a deeply affectionate man!

Having been born twenty years later, she might well have fallen for Huo Yingjie!

"Alright, I’ve already reported this matter to the security department. You don’t need to go looking for Zhou Yuanyuan, because such a stubborn person won’t correct their mistakes just because you say a few words," Director Liu said, "Continue with your work, I’ll handle the rest."

Huo Yingjie understood what Director Liu meant. If it were a man, he would fight, but with the other party being a woman, it really posed a problem. He stood up and bowed to Director Liu, "Thank you for this!"

"This is my job, you don’t need to thank me," Director Liu replied, "You’ve got a good partner, she trusts you a lot. Such good girls are rare nowadays."

"Yes, they are rare," Huo Yingjie agreed, "Ever since the last incident, I’ve been avoiding Zhou Yuanyuan, and I’ve also written to my family about it. I suppose my family, out of regard for Zhou Yuanyuan’s parents’ feelings, hasn’t taken any action. This time Zhou Yuanyuan forged my handwriting for the letter, which is worse than the last uproar, I will write to my family again, urging them to understand the seriousness of the matter!"

"That’s wonderful," Director Liu said with delight, "With you high-ranking officials’ children, ah, we don’t dare to provoke you. It’s best if you take the lead."

"Actually, most children of high-ranking officials are quite capable, not all of them are impulsive with their emotions like Zhou Yuanyuan," Huo Yingjie defended his peers. Because of one Zhou Yuanyuan, it wasn’t fair to tip over the entire boat.

Director Liu also knew that his words were too much of a generalization.

"Ha ha, you’re right, most people are still good." Director Liu laughed, "You are an excellent representative."

There was no need for Huo Yingjie to clash with Director Liu on this issue. There were many talented and diligent people like him, but there were also many like Zhou Yuanyuan—his own family had one, the ever-idle Huo Yingqi!

The communication between him and He Tiantian was conducted through the institute.

The person in charge of sending and receiving letters at the institute was Director Liu, who was aware of the seriousness of the matter. He would not give He Tiantian’s address to Zhou Yuanyuan, so it was likely that Zhou Yuanyuan had obtained He Tiantian’s address through Huo Yingqi.

After all, Nan City was not far from here, and it was very easy for Huo Yingqi to get He Tiantian’s address when she came back to Nan City on vacation and visited his home.

Alas, what a headache!

This cousin was always such a concern!

Now she was just meddling in her marriage affairs, but in the future, she would become even more of a busybody!

Truly a case of unwarranted worry over the most mundane things!

"You go back. Since it’s urgent, you can write a few more letters to send out. I hope your family can help you nip these unwanted romantic advances in the bud," Director Liu said, not worried about Huo Yingjie’s feelings. Her focus was on Zhou Yuanyuan mimicking Huo Yingjie’s handwriting.

"I understand, thank you, Director Liu." Huo Yingjie thanked him again.

The letters from He Tiantian and the breakup letter written by Zhou Yuanyuan were evidence that was currently held by Director Liu and had not been given to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie hurried back to his dormitory and, following their previous agreement, wrote a letter to He Tiantian first.

Huo Yingjie had never felt as grateful as he did now for the secret agreement he had with He Tiantian.

This time, He Tiantian could trust him!

Even though he knew someone was sabotaging them, He Tiantian knew his sincerity, and even if she was upset, she could still handle it rationally.

Writing this letter was about giving He Tiantian peace of mind!

If he couldn’t be with He Tiantian, he wouldn’t settle for less!

After that, he wrote a letter to his parents to inform them about Zhou Yuanyuan and to ask if they had told Huo Yingqi He Tiantian’s address in Huai City.

As for the letters to his grandparents, his uncle and aunt, and his eldest cousin, Yingjie’s wording was even more stern.

If there had not been concerns, Huo Yingjie would have even liked to personally write a letter to Zhou Yuanyuan’s parents.

After writing five letters in a row, Huo Yingjie handed them directly to Director Liu.

After checking them and finding no sensitive content, Director Liu sealed them, affixed postage stamps, and personally handed them to the postman who had come to collect the mail.

The postman who served the institute was not an ordinary postman, but meticulously selected, ideologically resolute comrades, ensuring the institute’s documents and letters could be safely delivered. Therefore, Director Liu was not worried that Zhou Yuanyuan could tamper with these staff members.

However, although Huo Yingjie avoided Zhou Yuanyuan, she, like a specter, kept doggedly pursuing and wouldn’t disappear!

Huo Yingjie stayed in the dormitory to rest for two days without stepping out of the door. This was a male dormitory, and female colleagues were not allowed in.

Zhou Yuanyuan often passed by here, but she just couldn’t get in.

"Boss, that Zhou Yuanyuan is still downstairs; it looks like you can’t go out today," Zhou Yuanchao said with a sympathetic look at Huo Yingjie, though his tone had a hint of schadenfreude!

Ah, being handsome is also a sin!

Huo Yingjie was furious. He peeked out the window and then forcefully slapped the wall, annoyed, "Why is she like a sticky candy, can’t shake her off at all? Isn’t the hospital busy enough, no need to work?"

"Boss, you haven’t been out, so you don’t know the situation. I went out a few times and did some digging for you. Zhou Yuanyuan now isn’t allowed to leave the institute freely, but she still has plenty of rest time," Zhou Yuanchao said. "If you don’t want to run into Zhou Yuanyuan tomorrow, you’ll need to leave the dormitory before six in the morning."
