10:00 AM.
Milanese café.
Tang Li arrived at 9:30. When Huo Yancheng arrived, he only saw Tang Li walking out of the private room with her face covered in redness and swelling.
After hiding to the side and avoiding Tang Li's sight, Huo Yancheng rushed in.
He grabbed a cup from the table and slammed it in front of Lin Yiyun, roaring:
"I warned you, don't bully the Huo family again."
Lin Yiyun had barely arrived and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when she was inexplicably yelled at by Huo Yancheng.
"Are you sick in the head? What's wrong with you?"
Last night, a director arranged to meet her here today to discuss the script. She had finally landed a leading role, but her agent, Nanxing, was away on a business trip and hadn't returned yet. She couldn't wait, so she came to meet him herself.
I never expected to run into Huo Yancheng here.
Fearing that Huo Yancheng would ruin her plans, Lin Yiyun stood up:
"I thought we made things clear enough last night, Huo Yancheng. If you ruin me, you'll ruin your sister-in-law. If I'm not doing well, she won't be either. I hope you can respect our agreement."
Huo Yancheng stepped forward, getting closer to her:
Are you threatening me?
Lin Yiyun arrogantly raised her head:
"Wasn't my threat to you last night enough? Why did you come here today to make a fool of yourself?"
Huo Yancheng clenched his fists, wanting to tear her apart at any moment.
But in the end, they took two steps back.
Looking at the man in front of her, whom she was leading by the nose, Lin Yiyun finally regained a bit of her confidence in crushing others.
She straightened Huo Yancheng's slightly disheveled collar, raised a victorious smile, patted his cheek, and reminded him:
“I can understand that people who are heartbroken lose their minds, but little brother, you’re going a bit too far. As the second young master of the Huo family, you should at least save some face for yourself. Little brother, stop arguing and be more carefree.”
Huo Yancheng has a principle: he never hits women.
But today, he really wanted to punch her!
"Why did you arrange to meet my sister-in-law here?"
Reason ultimately prevailed over the urge to punch her.
Huo Yancheng squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
"I'm asking you to meet your sister-in-law? Are you still drunk from last night? Do you really think you're a heartbroken person?"
It's really baffling.
Lin Yiyun checked the time; it was almost time for her appointment with the director.
Huo Yancheng sensed something was wrong:
Are you waiting for someone?
nonsense!
Of course she was waiting for someone.
Lin Yiyun said irritably, "Thanks to your good sister-in-law, I now have to beg my father and grandmother to get a good script."
so...
"You're here about the script?"
Huo Yancheng was completely bewildered.
Just then, Lin Yiyun received a text message from the director, saying that the lead role had been cast and asking if she would be willing to play the second lead.
Lin Yiyun was furious and replied with a single word:
"roll."
Then, she vented all her anger on Huo Yancheng.
"Was it you who did this?"
Lin Yiyun was really angry. She lost her love, her career was a mess, and even her family business was dragged down by her.
She's a complete mess right now.
She was tricked into becoming an innocent rabbit by the big bad wolf she had intended to take advantage of, and almost fell into his trap.
After being turned on by her, Huo Yancheng suddenly remembered the WeChat message he had seen yesterday.
It dawned on me instantly.
I've been tricked.
I fell for my sister-in-law's trick.
After leaving the private room, Huo Yancheng returned to his car and received a call from his sidekick, Tianran.
"Where the hell have you been? Your phone was switched off all night."
Huo Yancheng lost his temper.
On the other end of the phone, Tianran burst into tears:
"Second Young Master, I was kidnapped last night."
Kidnapping?
"Anyone who dares to kidnap my second young master's people must have a death wish!"
Huo Yancheng was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Natural answer:
"It's the young master!"
"My brother?" Huo Yancheng immediately cowered: "Oh, my brother is the kind of person who likes to punish evil and uphold justice."
Naturally, she was trembling slightly.
"Second Young Master, I'm so sorry."
“The eldest young master threatened me, you know that. I’m not very ambitious, I just want to stay by your side, second young master.”
"But I can't live without my little Jiaojiao."
He decisively betrayed his brother over a woman.
Jiaojiao is his Achilles' heel!
Huo Yancheng sighed: "It's okay. There are plenty of people missing limbs on the street. How many people have you seen running around naked?"
Naturally crying out:
“The young master set me up by bringing several older sisters to keep me company, but I swear, I didn’t even look at them properly. Jiaojiao worked to support my university education, and I can’t let her down. Jiaojiao has always been insecure. If the young master shows Jiaojiao those photos, she will definitely leave me.”
They even came up with this trick.
Brother, you're ruthless!
Huo Yancheng comforted Tianran for a while, then asked:
"So you confessed everything?"
Tianran nodded and said, "I dare not hold anything back."
"Alright, go keep your darling company." Huo Yancheng sighed.
"Second Young Master, there's something else."
"explain!"
"The young master bought me a wedding house, and I plan to propose to Jiaojiao."
So in a way, he actually benefited from the misfortune.
"Yes, my older brother is not only chivalrous but also helpful. Go ahead and be your happy little man."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yancheng hesitated for a long time before opening his phone's contacts and finding Huo Chenyu's number.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally dialed the number.
