Gao Ruhai saw his good-for-nothing son passionately embracing and kissing a girl, and his anger flared even more. "What are you doing here in broad daylight? Shameless bastards!"
The two of them stopped abruptly.
Gao Qiang was terrified of his father and trembled, not daring to look up. Yu Xue stepped in front of him to stop him. "Chairman Gao, you've been praising Young Master Gao a lot lately. He's happy and wants to confide in someone..."
"Don't you know your son well enough? It's probably all thanks to this girl." Gao Ruhai nodded calmly: "Yu Xue, if you want to stand higher, besides knowledge and ability, you also need to be careful with your words and actions, clever yet naive. You need to be able to judge what you see and hear, what you should and shouldn't say. Otherwise..."
They didn't even know how they died.
Yu Xue lowered her eyes and looked straight ahead, her voice very sincere: "Chairman Gao, I have learned a lot from what you said. Chairman Gao has been kind to me and helped me, and I can only repay you by doing my best."
Having finally gotten away with it, Yu Xue's legs were trembling as she left the rooftop.
Gao Ruhai tested her twice more afterward, but she remained calm and used deception to move on.
Two weeks later, Yu Xue met with Xue Qiandai and showed her photos of herself and Huo Yunchao. Near the end of her presentation, her eyes sharpened, and she said triumphantly, "A wealthy heiress from the capital, huh? Having money is truly impressive. But if one day you lose your family's honor, lose your countless riches, and have nothing left, will Yunchao still stay by your side?"
Unfortunately, Xue Qiandai was focused on Huo Meiren at the time and failed to grasp the true meaning behind it.
Her thoughts returned to reality. Yu Xue gazed at Huo Yunchao, his deep, dark pool captivating her. Why couldn't he belong to her? Perhaps the greatest helplessness in the world is the inability to obtain what one desires.
“I can’t tell you my sources. But I can guarantee that what I’m saying is true. As for Gao Qiang’s dirty deeds, I’ve also contacted some of the women he’s assaulted, and I have the recordings. Whether they’re willing to testify against Gao Qiang is beyond my control.”
With this information, Huo Yunchao felt his trip had been worthwhile. "Senior Sister Yu, who do you think is the real culprit in this car accident? Gao Ruhai?"
Yu Xue's forehead throbbed, revealing a pitiful look of fear and palpitations. She suppressed her emotional turmoil. "No, it must be someone else. Actually, you guessed right. Gao Ruhai didn't do what happened at the club. How could he target his own son? That day, I followed Gao Qiang into the Youyue Club. Perhaps I saw something I shouldn't have."
"Hmm?" Huo Yunchao raised an eyebrow, getting to the crucial point. "Senior Sister, what did you see?"
"Yun Chao, I risked my life to tell you all this. Look, I'm perfectly lucid, but I have to pretend to have amnesia..." She opened her palm, revealing a charmingly naive expression, "How are you going to thank me?"
The snow has a thousand faces, constantly changing.
Huo Yunchao lowered his eyes and chuckled, "You know my net worth. As long as it's within my means, we can discuss the terms."
"I want you to hug me. I've never experienced being hugged by you before." Yu Xue closed her eyes, gently embracing her shoulders, as if lying in the finest silk quilt.
Huo Yunchao refused outright, his tone firm and unwavering. "My girlfriend is still out there. Your prank last time separated us for almost half a year."
Yu Xue pursed her lips, sighing with regret. "Just kidding. If Xue Qiandai hadn't been so angry with me for days, showing off your love in all sorts of ways, I probably wouldn't be alive today. Never mind. Back then, I used the membership card Gao Qiang gave me to enter Youyue Club, hiding in a service room a dozen meters away from Xue Qiandai's private room, around the corner. I saw that amber-wearing hand again, walking with the club manager. At the time, I just felt it was familiar. Only later did I realize that I had seen that amber-wearing hand before."
Huo Yunchao knew the club manager was problematic; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken ten minutes to appear after the incident. However, the police encountered obstacles while gathering evidence; the Youyue Club had powerful backers. "So, if I find the person wearing the amber, I can unravel the mystery and find the real culprit who bankrupted the Xue Group?"
"Knowing who is who is just the beginning. If you want to exonerate Xue Qiandai's father, you need a lot more evidence. Such a huge company, who knows how dirty the corruption behind it is, Xue Qiandai's father may not be innocent at all." Yu Xue's judgment was sharp, showing a kind of wisdom that saw through the world.
Huo Yunchao could understand; too much clarity leaves no room for fish. But Xue Jingnian was, after all, his future father-in-law, and he had to do everything in his power. "What else do you remember about that car accident?"
A sharp pain shot through her head, and the memory of that night still made her uncomfortable. "The last four digits of the license plate were 49, and the car model was a Santana."
Regarding the last two digits of the license plate, it was already confirmed by Zheng Fang's on-site evidence at the time, and now Yu Xue has provided more detailed clues.
After saying so much, Yu Xue was clearly tired.
Huo Yunchao glanced at the door; Dai Dai must be getting impatient. "Senior sister, thank you for being willing to say all this. If there's anything I can do, I can help financially."
I don't want to get too involved beyond the economics.
"Hehe, I have no doubt about Mr. Huo's financial strength. I will forward the recording to you. I will not show up to testify; I have died once. Moreover, I will take my mother abroad. Hmm, maybe Vancouver, maybe Seattle, it's not decided yet."
"Good luck."
After leaving the ward, Huo Yunchao saw Xue Qiandai and her mother chatting happily.
"Dad, Mom, let's go out for a meal together. I'll pick up Dai Dai as soon as I get off work; she's still hungry."
Mr. and Mrs. Huo happily agreed.
During the meal, Huo Shuisheng kept putting food on Xue Qiandai's plate. "Girls, don't believe in those dieting myths. You have such a great figure. I think it's cute for you to be a little foodie."
Xue, the foodie, glanced at Huo Yunchao with such a sweet look on her face, took a bite of the steamed pork ribs, and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid I'm too fat, and your son will dislike me!"
"He wouldn't dare! You're so good, what could he possibly complain about? If you've been wronged, your uncle and I will stand up for you. Come on, add your aunt on Weibo."
Teacher Huo is very trendy and likes to use Weibo. Xue Qiandai was pleasantly surprised after adding her. "Auntie, you really have students all over the world! You have over ten thousand followers!"
Huo Shuisheng preferred Xue Qiandai.
"Mom and Dad, where have you been staying these past few days? Come home with me tonight." Huo Yunchao helped Huo Fu pick up some food.
Mr. Huo picked up his teacup and clinked it with his son's. "Yunchao, don't worry about your mother and me. We're fine staying in a hotel. What would we do if you and Daidai stayed together? We're not going to be third wheels."
What amazing in-laws! So open-minded. Xue Qiandai blushed unconsciously as she thought about their future cohabitation.
