Chapter 697: The ungrateful traitor

Huo Donglin lowered his head, bit his lips, not knowing what to say.

"Besides, I'm also wrong about this." Xue Jun glanced at him, "My phone wasn't out of battery, I deliberately didn't answer the call."

Huo Donglin looked up at her in surprise.

"Dongli, I want you to understand that I can't leave just because I want to. Your father won't allow it. I know you're kind, but you're still too young to influence adults' opinions. It will only bring you trouble. So don't get involved in these things in the future, okay?"

Xue Jun has gentle eyes, a kind smile and a soft voice.

Huo Donglin nodded unconsciously.

His mother also told him not to worry about it, but there was a reproach in her tone, which made him feel very guilty and caused his mother to be scolded by his father.

Aunt Xue is so gentle and considerate, no wonder Dad likes her so much.

Xue Jun patted his head and said, "I know Donglin is a good boy. Come, let's dismantle the game console together."

She pushed the gift box in front of him and found a knife on the desk.

"good."

Huo Donglin picked up a knife, cut open the outer packaging of the gift box, opened the gift box, took out the brand new long-awaited game console, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Xue Jun stood behind him, a faint smile on his lips.

Her gaze passed over Huo Donglin's head and fell on the family photo on the bookshelf - in the photo, Lin Jiamin was happily hugging her husband and son.

Huo Donglin held the new game console in his arms, stroking it slowly, his heart filled with joy.

The grievance I suffered downstairs just now didn't seem so painful anymore.

Xue Jun helped him turn on the game console and debug the equipment.

A game console alone is not enough, it also needs games. Many of the games in this console need to be purchased separately.

Xue Jun bought all of them for him on the spot.

Huo Donglin looked at the many popular games in the catalog and couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Thank you, Aunt Xue."

"Okay, now we can play." Xue Jun stood up and glanced at the wall clock. "I should go back too."

Huo Donglin had already opened a game. Upon hearing this, he looked up and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Xue."

When they reached the door, Xue Jun paused and turned back to say, "You can only play the game console at home on weekends. You can't bring it to school, and you can't let your mother know."

"Oh oh..." Huo Donglin lowered his head, his fingers quickly pressing the buttons of the game console, and responded perfunctorily.

Xue Jun pushed the door open and ran into Lin Yinuan who was going upstairs.

After the examination at the hospital, Lin Jiamin went to her own small company, while Lin Yinuan went to find Wu Haoran and just got home.

Lin Yinuan looked at the door behind Xue Jun in surprise. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she asked with a wary look on her face, "How did you get out of Donglin's room?"

Xue Jun shrugged, "You're mistaken."

She didn't wait for Lin Yiran to say anything else and walked away from her.

Lin Yinuan looked at her back, feeling uneasy. She walked over and knocked on the door, "Donglin?"

In the room, Huo Donglin was playing games intently.

He was playing a very classic adventure game, with a dark style, a wild imagination, sometimes scary and sometimes tense. Huo Donglin was immersed in it, his heart beating into his throat as the protagonist went on an adventure, and he was completely engrossed in the game.

Not hearing any sound, Lin Yinuan couldn't help but push the door open and go in.

Huo Donglin was startled. The protagonist in the game was also discovered and returned to the save point. "Cousin, why did you come in without knocking?"

"I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me." Lin Yinuan walked in, looked around, and didn't find anything strange.

"Cousin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

If you're alright, just leave.

He still wants to continue playing games.

"Did Xue Jun come here just now?"

"Hmm..." Huo Donglin subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly stopped and shook his head: "No."

Lin Yinuan glanced at his expression and felt strange, but couldn't tell what was strange.

She turned to leave, but something suddenly occurred to her mind. She turned around and looked at the game console in his hand and the gift box on the table, and asked, "Who bought you this game console?"

Huo Donglin was stuck for a moment. "My...my mom bought it. What's wrong?"

"Really?" Lin Yinuan asked back, not quite convinced. "I'll go ask my aunt."

Huo Donglin's expression changed. "Hey, cousin, wait a minute—"

Lin Yinuan stared at Huo Donglin intently, her voice low but filled with an irresistible sense of oppression: "Donglin, tell me the truth, who gave you this game console?"

Huo Donglin's fingers were tightly gripping the game console, his knuckles turning white.

He lowered his head, not daring to look into his cousin's eyes. After a long pause, he stammered, "...Aunt Xue bought it."

"Aunt Xue?!"

Lin Yinuan smiled in disbelief, her voice suddenly rising, her eyes burning with anger, "You call her Aunt Xue? You accepted such an expensive gift from her?! Do you know who she is?!"

Huo Donglin was frightened by her sudden anger and subconsciously took a step back, saying defensively: "Xue...Aunt Xue is a very good person, but..."

"She's a good person? If she's a good person, would she become a mistress and interfere in other people's marriages?"

Lin Yinuan laughed in anger, snatched the game console from his hand, and smashed it hard on the ground. With a "bang", the screen of the brand new game console shattered, the outer shell cracked, and parts scattered all over the ground.

Huo Donglin was stunned.

The next second, he suddenly rushed over, trembling and picking up the broken game console, tears falling to the ground: "What are you doing! Why do you break my things! You have to compensate me!"

"Compensate you?" Lin Yinuan sneered, "Huo Donglin, are you crazy? Do you know who Xue Jun is? She's the mistress who destroyed your parents' marriage! She bought you a video game console, and you thought she was really good to you? She was just trying to buy you off! And you were so easily fooled by her, you ungrateful traitor!"

She couldn't help but think of the skits she occasionally saw on her mobile phone. Huo Donglin was the barbecued pork son of the heroine in the skit, who was easily bribed by the mistress outside!

Huo Donglin was so angry that he was shaking all over and his vision was blurred by tears.

He held the broken game console tightly, his voice choked with sobs: "You're still trafficking women. You've already been sentenced, what right do you have to criticize her?!"

Hearing this, Lin Yinuan was so angry that his head was burning with anger, "Say it to me again?!"

"What are you arguing about?"

A cold voice came from the door. They both turned around at the same time and saw Lin Jiamin standing at the door with a terribly gloomy face.

Lin Yiran immediately walked over and pointed at the wreckage of the game console in Huo Donglin's arms and said, "Aunt, Xue Jun secretly bought a game console for Donglin. Just now, Donglin said Xue Jun was a very nice person!"

Lin Jiamin's eyes fell on the broken game console in her son's arms. The unprecedented sense of urgency made her breathless.

She finally understood that Xue Jun's disappearance today was not to make Huo Junshan vent his anger on her and her son, but to take advantage of the situation and bribe her son.
