"Xiaoyun, wake up, it's Chengcheng, I'm here."

Chengcheng.

Ugh~

Huo Sitang, who had been observing quietly from the sidelines, suddenly lost control of her facial expressions.

Tang Li, who was enjoying bird's nest, almost choked.

Shaked by Huo Yancheng, Lin Yiyun weakly woke up in his arms, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Huo Yancheng with fear and trepidation.

Then he pushed him away.

"Chengcheng, go away, stay away from me."

After saying that, Lin Yiyun fell to the side.

The speed was very slow, consistent with the snail-like movement of a physically weak patient.

Logically, Huo Yancheng could have caught her with just a simple reach, but perhaps he didn't have time to react, and it wasn't until Lin Yiyun fell heavily to the ground that Huo Yancheng bent down to help her up.

"Xiaoyun, what happened?"

Lin Yiyun burst into tears, feeling wronged.

"Chengcheng, don't worry about me, just go, just go."

Ugh~

This time, not only Huo Sitang felt nauseous, but Tang Li did too.

Lin Yiyun truly lives up to her reputation as an actress. Her voice, movements, eyebrows, and posture are all so affected and pretentious that you just want to kick her away.

Huo Sitang simply couldn't believe that Huo Yancheng, that little rascal, had such terrible taste.

The thought of Huo Yancheng marrying such a drama queen as his wife...

Ugh~

It's really uncomfortable.

"Mom, what happened?" Huo Yancheng asked Wei Chaoyu.

Huo Sitang walked over, sat down next to Wei Chaoyu, crossed her arms, and coldly looked at the two of them, briefly explaining what had happened.

"So, Dad misunderstood Xiaoyun and accidentally hurt Uncle Lin's family."

Huo Yancheng drew a conclusion.

"After all, Xiaoyun is also a victim."

Huo Sitang almost swore.

Did this little brother get his head caught in a door?

"Xiaoyun, don't be afraid, I'll call my dad right now." Huo Yancheng took out his phone, dialed the number, and then frowned.

"My dad's phone is switched off?"

Huo Yancheng looked at Huo Sitang: "Sister, what's going on? Isn't Dad's phone on 24/7?"

Huo Sitang didn't want to pay any attention to this simpleton, but after glancing at Lin Yiyun, who was lying on the ground with a slight smile on her lips, she decided to leave.

Blood immediately rushed to my head!

"Dad and my older brother went to class. If they don't concentrate in class, how will Dad be a good grandfather? How will my older brother be a good husband? And how will he be a responsible father?"

Attend class?

Lin Yiyun found it hard to believe that Huo Yishen and Huo Chenyu, both people of status and position, would actually go to class for the sake of the bastard child in Tang Li's belly!

I'm so angry!

Lin Yiyun cried out in pain, struggled to her feet, and said to Huo Yancheng:

"Never mind, Chengcheng, I'll go to the hospital to see my parents first. They couldn't take the shock and are both hospitalized."

Lin Yiyun tried to take two steps, swaying precariously like a willow in the wind.

Seeing her pathetic state, Huo Sitang wanted nothing more than to kick her a couple of times.

But Huo Yancheng actually caught her:

"Xiaoyun, can you walk?"

Lin Yiyun held her forehead and said in a weak voice:

"Chengcheng, don't worry about me, I can walk by myself."

Given the current situation, I'm afraid that after taking a few more steps, she'll have to deliver her award-winning acting of feigning fainting again.

Huo Yancheng didn't waste any words, picked her up in one go, and turned to Wei Chaoyu, saying:

"Mom, I don't care whose fiancée Xiaoyun was before. From now on, Xiaoyun is my girlfriend, Huo Yancheng's girlfriend. As long as I'm here, I will never allow anyone to hurt Xiaoyun in the slightest. If Dad continues to target the Lin family, he doesn't have me as his son."

That bastard son of yours!

Wei Chaoyu was so angry that his hands were trembling.

"I'm leaving. I'll come back whenever the Lin family is out of trouble."

After uttering those harsh words, Huo Yancheng carried Lin Yiyun and strode out of the Huo family home.

In the car, Nan Zhi fed Lin Yiyun brown sugar water and said to Huo Yancheng:

“Sister Yun hasn’t had a drop of water since last night, and now there’s been another problem at home. I’m really worried she won’t be able to handle it.”

Huo Yancheng asked with utmost honesty:

"What? Has Uncle Lin fallen so low that he can't even afford to eat?"

Nan Zhi stared at Huo Yancheng in utter astonishment.

Huo Yancheng chuckled:

"Just kidding. There's a coffee shop about 200 meters ahead after the turn. Their pasta is pretty good. Let's grab something to eat before we go to the hospital to visit Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin."

The Huo family.

Wei Chaoyu clutched her chest; her blood pressure had spiked.

While Huo Sitang went to find the medicine, Tang Li whispered a few words in Wei Chaoyu's ear. Wei Chaoyu's expression softened somewhat, but she still cursed:

"That little brat, wait till he gets back and I'll teach him a lesson."

Trending topics are a very strange thing.

The more celebrities try to cover up and hide things they don't want the world to see, the more gossip and trouble they attract.

On the contrary, people like Lin Yiyun, who are so ruthless that they even criticize themselves, have won the unanimous support and understanding of their fans.

By evening, the situation had changed dramatically.

Lu Zhixing disregarded their need to avoid suspicion and hurriedly called Tang Li:

"It seems that someone is maliciously controlling public opinion behind today's events. The direction of public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Some people have already started to stir up trouble, saying that you first pretended to be a victim and then used the same method to frame Lin Yiyun, with the aim of ruining her promising future."

Hehe.

The wicked person files a lawsuit first.

Tang Li remained completely calm:

"No rush, let's wait for the cigarette butt test results. My in-laws and sister-in-law have all been very kind to me."

As for the younger brother-in-law...

Well, I'll refrain from commenting for now.

"And what about Huo Chenyu? Is he good to you?"

Lu Zhixing had always rationally told himself that he approached Tang Li with a mission.

Approaching with a specific purpose will not result in flowers blooming or fruit bearing.

It cannot be forced.

But feelings are the most irrational thing. It was only after Tang Li returned to Huo Chenyu's side that Lu Zhixing belatedly realized that his feelings for her had quietly changed.

Tang Li paused slightly, recalling what Jiang Mian had said in the car. She completely ignored Lu Zhixing's question and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, everything is fine on my end. I just feel a little sorry for you, for dragging you into this mess."

Lu Zhixing did not press the matter further.

"It's alright, just remember to treat me to a meal after things calm down. Speaking of which, I haven't officially met Tang Yuan yet, so you can introduce me to him then."

Tang Li readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she heard noises downstairs.

It must be Huo Chenyu and his son who have returned.

Dinner was ready and on the table. Tang Li came out of the bedroom and picked up her phone at almost the same time as Huo Chenyu downstairs.

It was a call from Lu Zhixing.

He sat in the car, staring intently at Yao Che.

After seeing clearly the folder in Yao Che's hand, he said to Tang Li:

"The cigarette butt test report is out."
