"The Working Girl" saves the villain in his childhood (13)...

After Huo Yu made his harsh remarks, he didn't personally confront Ye Xiqing.

After all, wouldn't it be more interesting to have her own son do this?

Huo Yueze gritted his teeth and knocked on Fu Yunzhen's current address.

The moment Qiu Tianyi opened the door, she slapped him twice across the face: "Get out!"

Caught off guard, Huo Yueze was hit squarely. Already in a bad mood, he glared angrily at Qiu Tianyi and asked, "Who are you?"

Qiu Tianyi crossed her arms and sneered, "You really are forgetful. No wonder you don't remember who your biological mother is. Consider the food I gave you when you were little as feeding the dogs!"

Huo Yueze was stunned, then suddenly looked up and saw that it was her?

The childhood friendship between the novel's heroine and the villain is naturally very strong, and Huo Yueze instantly remembered everything.

Just as he had tried to find his mother, he had also tried to find the little girl next door who had given him warmth, but they had all disappeared along with Fu Yunzhen.

Huo Yueze had considered that the girl he had seen before might be Fu Yunzhen's newborn child, or the child of Fu Yunzhen's relatives, friends, employers, or other related people. He never expected that she was the girl next door from back then.

In other words, after Fu Yunzhen sent him away, her life didn't change much. She simply started living with her neighbor and her daughter as a family. Huo Yueze didn't know how to face all of this.

Because of his guilt, Huo Yueze no longer cared about the two slaps he had received earlier. He looked at Ye Xiqing and said in a low voice, "I want to talk to you again."

Ye Xiqing still wouldn't refuse such a thing, and the two of them went to that coffee shop again, as if they knew it by heart.

As soon as Huo Yueze sat down, he got straight to the point: "Can you issue an apology statement saying that you have mental problems and fabricated that post?"

Ye Xiqing didn't even order coffee this time, and went straight to the point: "Is this the solution you came up with?"

"What else can I do! You posted everything online without telling me, he can put you in jail! He really can put you in jail!"

Ye Xiqing chuckled: "Don't tease me. Although I have PTSD from being unable to read law books because of you and your son, I still graduated from a university of political science and law. I have some common sense. What right does he have to send me to jail? Because of you?"

Huo Yueze looked at her coldly: "It seems you have no idea about the Huo family's strength."

Why could the Huo family become the dark tycoon of this city? It couldn't be possible with just an entertainment company; it involved all sorts of industries and some shady dealings.

Over the years, the Huo family has grown bigger and bigger, and of course, they have also tried to whitewash their past. But a family with such a background is inherently cruel. If you think you can reason with them, then you are being ridiculous.

Huo Yueze calmly looked at Ye Xiqing: "If the Huo family wants to get you, they can look at the evidence, or they can ignore it."

"Hehe." Ye Xiqing laughed happily.

"If that's the case, then the entire Huo family shouldn't exist in this world."

Huo Yueze originally intended to have a serious talk with Fu Yun, but her uncooperative attitude made him angry: "Why should I? Because of you!"

Ye Xiqing didn't know if she was joking or answering seriously: "Not because of me, but because of justice."

"Haha." Huo Yueze was amused by her words and pulled out a document: "Then you decide how to resolve this! The Huo family is preparing to sue you for spreading rumors!"

"I did not spread rumors."

Who would believe you?

"You, you are the biggest evidence."

"I won't help you!"

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

After some time, Ye Xiqing smiled at him and said, "To be honest, you've disappointed me a little."

Huo Yueze: ...

Betraying a mother who has suffered pain is never a glorious thing.

But Huo Yueze also felt incredibly wronged: "You've never considered my feelings at all! From the moment I met you until now, in everything you've done, has any of it taken my feelings into account?"

Ye Xiqing remained unmoved, looking at him earnestly: "One day, you will know how much I care about you."

...

The air froze; having said all that, there was no need for anyone to continue the conversation.

Ye Xiqing handed the documents Huo Yueze had given her back to him, stood up, and smiled at him: "Then let's see if the goddess of justice is on your side or mine."

Huo Yueze wanted to continue persuading her, but Ye Xiqing had already quickly walked away, driving off in her beat-up little car.

As soon as she got home, Qiu Tianyi jumped out to show off: "Ta-da! Look what this is!"

"When I slapped him earlier, I took the opportunity to pull out a hair from that ingrate's head. We'll get a paternity test done right now. Even if it doesn't prove that Huo Yu committed rape, it can at least prove that they're lying!"

Ye Xiqing looked at the few strands of hair in her hand and almost laughed: "Then how will you assure the judge that your sample was obtained through legal means?"

Qiu Tianyi sneered, "Who cares about legality? Did you think the Huo family was covering up the truth through legal channels?"

"They want to use public opinion to pressure us, and we'll use public opinion to pressure them back."

"Show him a paternity test result, regardless of whether it's real or fake, and force him to prove himself. If he doesn't, can he explain it to the court? Can he explain it to the public? The public isn't stupid!"

"I'm still collecting evidence now purely because of my responsible spirit. If I were to post a fake paternity test online and say it's real, what could he do about it?"

"How could something that's fake from head to toe possibly be more convincing than my fake appraisal?"

"Hehe." Ye Xiqing couldn't help but laugh, and turned to applaud her: "You're extremely smart, but don't ruin your career because of something like this."

Qiu Tianyi immediately panicked: "I'm not afraid! If I can't do this job, I'll just go and deliver food like you did before!"

Qiu Hui had been listening from the sidelines, unable to get a word in edgewise, and finally snapped, "Hey?"

Ye Xiqing was very grateful for Qiu Tianyi's efforts for her, but if things continued like this, it would only cause Qiu Hui unnecessary worry, so she took out her phone and her fingers flew across the keyboard as she communicated with the person on the other end—

"Don't worry, no matter what you do, doing it for eighteen years is terrifying, including delivering food."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hui became even more worried: "You two are really planning to go back to delivering food?"

Ye Xiqing usually doesn't let others see her phone, especially the operating system.

This time, however, he didn't shy away from it, nor did he try to hide it from the audience outside the screen. Instead, he let the endless group chat messages on his phone scroll rapidly across the screen, captivating even the audience outside the screen.

How many jobs has the female lead changed over the years? How many group chats has she created?

At this tense moment, the act of creating a group chat is quite bizarre, but Ye Xiqing doesn't seem to think so, explaining it to Qiu Hui as well as to the audience outside the screen.

"Don't worry, I have a new job now, and I definitely won't go back to delivering food."

Her calm and composed demeanor brought a sense of relief to both those watching and watching on screen. But clearly, now is not the time to discuss new jobs; you should think about what's at hand!

Ye Xiqing put down her phone, looking very calm.

It's okay, everything will be fine once she starts her new job.

...

The Grand Hotel, the most glamorous social venue in the city, was also where Fu Yunzhen's nightmare began.

When Huo Yu stepped into this world of extravagance and fame, everyone congratulated him, celebrating that he had just "washed away the filth."

Huo Yu accepted everyone's congratulations with a broad smile. Given his current status, the fact that he personally attended such a social event meant that everyone there was someone important.

After exchanging pleasantries with those around me with a smile, I inquired when the main guest for the evening would arrive.

The person next to him immediately replied with a smile, "Soon, it should be soon, it should arrive in about half an hour!"

Huo Yu glanced at the exceptionally sophisticated watch on his wrist and was very satisfied. Today's main guest was worth everyone's half-hour wait.

But for some reason, time ticked by, and half an hour passed, but the person still hadn't arrived.

For such important figures, arriving a few minutes or seconds late is not a problem; even if they suddenly say they can't come, everyone has to smile and leave.

But how could there be no news at all? Everyone present was a prominent person. In the past, others had been waiting for them, but now they couldn't help but feel anxious, especially Huo Yu.

He kept glancing at his watch, looking anxious. His eyes swept casually across the crowd. Perhaps he was too focused, because he accidentally bumped into a waiter who was serving drinks.

The wine glasses on the tray tipped over, and looking at the wine stains on his sleeve, Huo Yu's face darkened, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

The waiter panicked and apologized repeatedly. He couldn't afford to pay for even a single button on the clothes worn by these important people!

Huo Yu looked displeased, but ultimately didn't get angry. He raised his chin and gestured to the waiter, "Take me to the dressing room to change."

The waiter was immediately very grateful and quickly led the way. Huo Yu went inside to change his clothes and told the waiter to tell him that he was inside and not to let anyone else in.

This was only natural, so the waiter stood outside the door and waited for Huo Yu to finish changing.

However, not long after he went in, two more people came in and asked the waiter standing outside the door, "Is anyone in the changing room?"

The waiter answered truthfully, "Mr. Huo is changing clothes inside."

The person immediately said, "My friend has suddenly fallen ill and needs to use the changing room. Could someone please come out for a moment?"

"But Mr. Huo is inside..."

"A life is at stake! Whoever it is, let the person inside come out! Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo! Are you in there?!"

The waiter tried to stop them, but it was too late. When no one answered, the two kicked the door open.

But when the door opened, there was no one inside. The person who had forced the door open couldn't help but show a look of frustration: Oh no! The target has noticed us!

Huo Yu escaped from the Kaihuang Hotel.

Counter-surveillance is a skill that every member of the Huo family must be trained in. The moment before the VIP arrived, he suddenly had a beast-like instinct and just wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible!

His carefully cultivated image as a movie star helped him at this moment; his striking appearance made his ordinary attire go unnoticed.

Huo Yu erased all traces of himself as he quickly headed towards the escape route.

The fact that the arrest hasn't started yet means that the arrest warrant hasn't been issued, and many methods can't be used, which gives him a chance to escape!

Once he escapes abroad, whatever happens, he'll be free to roam. Even if it's a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter. Better safe than sorry!

My heart pounded as I transferred trains, and finally, at the peak of the crowds, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a fish out of water!

I hailed a taxi at random: "To Feiyun Airport."

The taxi driver didn't move.

Huo Yu was anxious, but he didn't want to show it too obviously, so he said gently in a slightly accented voice, "Master, why aren't we leaving yet?"

Instead of receiving a reply from his master, he heard two almost overlapping, faint "click" sounds, which instantly sent chills down his spine.

Huo Yu's thoughts froze as he slowly looked toward the source of the sound, toward the back of the taxi driver, who turned out to be a woman.

When she turned around, a face that was both strangely familiar and strangely unfamiliar appeared before her, smiling at her in the dim light—

"Why is Actor Huo leaving before the banquet is over? Your friends are waiting for you. Do you need me to take you home?"
