Three days later, Huo Beixiao and Jiang Yiran returned to Haicheng Wharf by boat.

Su Pan came to pick her up as usual.

"Auntie."

As soon as Huo Beixiao uttered the word "Auntie," Jiang Yiran obediently followed suit, calling out, "Auntie."

Su Pan looked at Jiang Yiran, her face quickly darkening, and then she looked sternly at Huo Beixiao, "Beixiao, who is she?"

Huo Beixiao introduced Ranran with little expression on his face: "Auntie, this is Ranran."

As soon as she said that, Su Pan's expression became even more stern. "Huo Beixiao, go to Hong Kong and bring a woman back with you."

Do you know you have a wife and children? How can you face Qiaoqiao and An'an and Lele like this?

How are you any different from your scoundrel father?

"I was so glad you didn't inherit your father's scumbag nature, but now it seems that bad bamboo can't produce good shoots, and you're no better than him!"

Su Pan immediately launched into a tirade of abuse at Huo Beixiao.

Jiang Yiran's eyes darted around, and she bravely stepped in front of Huo Beixiao, "Auntie, this isn't Brother Beixiao's fault!"

"Smack!"

Su Pan was already angry at the thought of her younger sister ending up like that because she met such a scumbag as Huo Yuanshan.

Now that Jiang Yiran still dares to stand up and jump, she directly and without hesitation slapped Jiang Yiran across the face.

"If it's not Huo Beixiao's fault, then it's yours! You knew he had a wife and children, right? Knowing he had a wife and children, you still got involved with him. You're destroying someone else's family, do you know that? Do you even know what propriety, righteousness, and shame are?"

Jiang Yiran never expected that Huo Beixiao's aunt, who seemed so intellectual and elegant and looked like a wealthy lady, would be so ruthless, slapping her the moment they met.

She instinctively covered her face and froze on the spot.

Huo Beixiao frowned and pulled Jiang Yiran behind him. "Auntie, this is a long story. I'll tell you about it when we get back."

Su Pan glanced directly at Jiang Yiran, who was hiding behind him, and said, "No need. You should divorce Qiao Qiao and be with this woman."

Then just pretend you've never acknowledged me as your aunt, and I'll pretend I never had a nephew. You don't need to explain anything to me anymore.

After Su Pan finished speaking, she turned around, got into the car, and told the driver to leave.

Only Guo Tao, who came to pick up Huo Beixiao, remained standing there, staring fiercely at Jiang Yiran beside Huo Beixiao.

Guo Tao clenched his fists, glaring angrily at Jiang Yiran, as if he were about to pounce on her and tear her to pieces at any moment.

Huo Beixiao saw Guo Tao's anger and assumed that Guo Tao was angry because Jiang Yiran was standing up for him after what happened between him and Zhang Wei. He simply said calmly, "Get in the car."

Just as Huo Beixiao opened the car door to let Jiang Yiran in, Guo Tao quickly blocked the door, suppressing his anger as he questioned Huo Beixiao, "Boss Huo, are you going to let her in?"

Huo Beixiao frowned. "Is there a problem?"

Guo Tao laughed angrily, "Fine, fine, fine, do you remember what she did? You want her to get in the car now?"

So, is it also true that you're going to divorce your sister-in-law for her?

Huo Beixiao frowned even more deeply. "I want to divorce Yang Qiaoqiao."

But it wasn't because of Jiang Yiran; it was because although Yang Qiaoqiao existed in his memory, he didn't believe that Yang Qiaoqiao's identity should have any emotional connection with him.

Moreover, based on his own understanding, he did not believe that his marriage with Yang Qiaoqiao was based on feelings.

Therefore, he believed what Jiang Yiran told him about the reason he married Yang Qiaoqiao.

He didn't know why he had compromised and married Yang Qiaoqiao because of their two children, but now he didn't want to be tied down by Yang Qiaoqiao with their two children anymore.

"Good, good, good!" Guo Tao said "good" three more times in a row, his anger barely contained.

Then, he slammed the car door shut, his temper flaring up, and spat at Huo Beixiao, "Huo Beixiao, the reason I followed you and called you Boss Huo was because you were not only capable but also loyal!"

Now that you're willing to abandon your wife and children for someone like this, your aunt was right; you're no different from your scumbag father.

I'm not putting up with you anymore, you heartless bastard!

After Guo Tao finished speaking, he jumped into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and said, "Bye bye!"

The car's exhaust fumes sprayed directly into Huo Beixiao and Jiang Yiran's faces.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Yiran coughed repeatedly as she was choked by the car exhaust.

Watching the car drive away, Jiang Yiran was furious. "Brother Beixiao, he's just your subordinate. Why does he treat you like this? We can't just let this go!"

A thoughtful look flashed in Huo Beixiao's deep eyes.

The main reason Guo Tao and his aunt got angry seemed to be because of Yang Qiaoqiao. Is Yang Qiaoqiao really that good? She managed to win over all of his relatives and brothers.

Or perhaps, something happened in his missing memory of Yang Qiaoqiao that was beyond his understanding of himself?

Huo Beixiao ignored Jiang Yiran.

I hailed a taxi directly.

After getting into the taxi, Jiang Yiran looked at Huo Beixiao's cold expression and didn't dare to complain about Guo Tao anymore.

Instead, she adopted a wronged expression and gently tugged at Huo Beixiao's sleeve. "Brother Beixiao, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Auntie wouldn't be angry with you, and Guo Tao wouldn't have treated you like this."

"Why don't you just not help me and take me back to the port city?"

Huo Beixiao stared intently at Jiang Yiran with his deep eyes. "You want to go back?"

Jiang Yiran's heart skipped a beat.

How could she forget that her tactic of feigning retreat might work on other men?

But Huo Beixiao, that blockhead, would believe it and actually send her back.

She wants to return to Hong Kong, but only if she can live a decent life there and enjoy the life of a wealthy wife that others envy.

Instead of following a petty thug like before, who, although able to eat his fill, was despised by others.

It's not like when Zhang Wei was still alive, that she became a prostitute.

Tears welled up in her eyes quickly. She looked at Huo Beixiao hesitantly, biting her lip as she said, "Brother Beixiao, I... I'm a complete stranger in Hong Kong, and I'm having a terrible time."

But if I come back and become a burden to you, then you should send me back.

I don't want to be a burden to you.
