Upon hearing Cheng Xuerou's name, Huo Zhiyan instantly became irritated. This woman really knows how to make things difficult!
"Young Master," the maid waited tremblingly for his response, "that Miss Cheng, should we...?"
However, before he could finish speaking, Cheng Xuerou barged in.
Even Huo Zhanhe was taken aback.
He knew that his son was not a decent person and often fooled around with minor celebrities and young models. There was also a girl named Jiang Yao, who was also a plaything he kept by his side.
But I never expected that he would change women more often than he changes clothes!
Huo Zhanhe was immediately enraged, "Huo Zhiyan! You...you only know how to play these low-class games all day long!"
Huo Zhiyan rolled her eyes and waved for the butler to send Huo Zhanhe out.
As Huo Zhanhe walked, he cursed, "I'm your father, can't I say a few words to you? Just keep playing around! You'll ruin yourself one day! You good-for-nothing bastard..."
Huo Zhiyan felt a surge of anger in her chest, grabbed a cup from the table, and smashed it against the wall!
The shards hit Cheng Xuerou's face. She screamed and took several steps back, covering her face and looking at him in horror.
After a moment, Huo Zhiyan took a deep breath, looked at her, and sneered, "What do you want?"
Cheng Xuerou's mind went blank.
The question I wanted to ask him just now, I can't remember a single word of now.
"Oh, I..." she tried to suppress her trembling voice, "I just wanted to ask the young master why... why my videos haven't been on the charts lately."
Huo Zhiyan frowned and gave her a disgusted look.
"Young Master!" Cheng Xuerou was extremely anxious. "My videos haven't been getting many likes lately, and I've almost no data... What, what's going on?!"
"What does your incompetence have to do with me?!"
"Young Master, you said you would make me famous..."
"Yes, I did say that! So what?" Huo Zhiyan glared at her fiercely. "I've spent your money and bought you trending searches, but you still can't become famous. What can I do?"
Cheng Xuerou stood against the wall, trembling.
Huo Zhiyan was telling the truth. In order to win over Ye Chen, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to promote Cheng Xuerou.
Unexpectedly, due to Cheng Xuerou's popularity, Tang Yilan's new movie, which had not yet been released, became popular first.
The general public didn't pay much attention to Cheng Xuerou; the trending topics were dominated by "Tang Yilan's new work" and "Wen Wen's explosive acting moment."
Reporters even photographed Director Tang and Nie Xin dining together, chatting and laughing, looking like a perfect match. However, neither of them explained to the media, only saying that they wanted to focus on their work.
This undoubtedly sparked another wave of enthusiasm.
One incident after another pushed Cheng Xuerou into an extremely awkward situation.
The show is popular but the actor isn't; no one listens to his songs; even trying to gain attention on video platforms is gradually being replaced by a new generation of internet celebrities.
She panicked when she heard that Huo Zhiyan had gotten into trouble, and that's why she rushed over.
"Ha, I don't think you're destined for great fame!" Huo Zhiyan sneered. "Even that idiot Ye Chen isn't on your side anymore!"
Cheng Xuerou froze, biting her lip tightly.
Huo Zhiyan was about to turn around and go upstairs when he suddenly heard the woman burst into hysterical sobs.
Cheng Xuerou was indeed quite desperate.
She thought that Jiang Yao had become Huo Zhiyan's discarded pawn, and that she could take the opportunity to rise to power. Who knew that she was actually Huo Zhiyan's means to win over Ye Chen.
When she turned around and confessed her feelings to Ye Chen, he seemed to have become a different person and completely ignored her.
Now Huo Zhiyan refuses to give her any money.
Her career was about to end before it even began.
Cheng Xuerou felt increasingly resentful, but there was nothing she could do. Now, having a good cry was her only way to vent her frustration.
Huo Zhiyan was upset and was about to have someone kick her out when her phone vibrated.
A picture came in, showing only a blurry profile of a man.
However, Huo Zhiyan recognized him at a glance as Gu Mang!
He then received a message: "Gu Mang is in Yangcheng."
A sinister glint suddenly flashed in Huo Zhiyan's eyes.
Ah, that makes sense. Once Jiang Mingyuan is gone, Gu Mang won't be able to stay in Jiangzhou either. He'll definitely have to find a way to survive.
Central City is the best choice for him because Huo Zhiyan is there.
Huo Zhiyan smiled slightly, looking at her phone thoughtfully.
The plan to replace the crown prince with a cat hadn't even been implemented before, and now Gu Mang has come again. It's like God is giving him a chance!
He couldn't miss this opportunity again; he had to seize this perfect chance to get rid of Huo Zhixing and make Gu Mang work for him.
As for Cheng Xuerou... she's just too annoying, let Gu Mang deal with her!
Huo Zhiyan, with a sinister smile on his face, approached Cheng Xuerou step by step, his mind racing with his own plans.
"Miss Cheng, stop crying. There's no use crying now that things have come to this!"
Cheng Xuerou stopped crying and looked up at him.
Huo Zhiyan said slowly and deliberately, with a cold laugh, "If you really want to become famous, relying on me alone won't do you any good!"
"What?"
"You have to hook up with Huo Zhixing!"
Cheng Xuerou was stunned, then shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, no, the Third Young Master only has the Third Young Mistress in his heart! I've experienced his prowess firsthand!"
"Ha, that's just for show!"
Huo Zhiyan moved his face closer to hers.
The man was almost bloodless, his thin shoulders stretched out like a clothes hanger over his large shirt, and the sinister look in his eyes when he smiled always gave people the feeling of seeing a ghost.
"Cheng Xuerou, think about it," he said sarcastically, "when you tried to seduce him, wasn't it at the banquet? Weren't there many eyes watching?"
Cheng Xuerou remained silent and nodded gently.
"Ha, Huo Zhixing is a master of putting on a show! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, of course he has to put on a great show to establish himself as a doting husband! That's how he can win everyone over!"
Cheng Xuerou stared at him with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Thinking about it, what Huo Zhiyan said seems to make a lot of sense.
These scions of wealthy families like to label themselves, especially those who dote on their wives, which makes them particularly popular.
First establish your own image, and it will be much easier to fight for the family property later.
It turns out that Jiang Can wasn't so lucky after all; she was just a tool for Huo Zhixing in his power struggle.
"Cheng Xuerou," Huo Zhiyan said in a low voice, "there's no man in the world who doesn't cheat! You don't actually think Huo Zhixing is a saint, do you?"
"But young master, things have already turned sour since last time. Is it still possible for me to get close to Third Master again?"
Seeing the fish take the bait, Huo Zhiyan smiled broadly.
He patted Cheng Xuerou on the shoulder and assured her confidently, "Don't worry, no matter how much Zhixing and I argue, we're still family! It'll still be easy for me to see him..."
"I'll invite you next time we meet! How you manage to seduce him then is up to you! Understand?"
