Back at the villa, Old Master Huo video-called Huo Yan and roared, "Huo Yan, you come back to Haicheng right now! Otherwise, never come back to the Huo family!"
Huo Yan laughed lewdly, "Why did you have to be born so big? Look at your old face, you're all puffed up like a steamed bun, with eighteen wrinkles."
"You scoundrel!" Old Master Huo was so angry he almost laughed, but when he cursed, there wasn't much anger in his voice. "Who gave you the guts to embezzle 10 billion! How much money can withstand your extravagant spending?!"
"Oh, Grandpa, a mere 10 billion? You built such a huge empire back then, and I'm only spending a little bit of money."
Huo Yan had the demeanor of a spoiled brat.
In the eyes of the entire Haicheng community, he was indeed a spoiled brat, a fact known to all.
The old man had been angry, scolded, and even used family discipline, but in Huo Yan's words, "what good was it?"
Grandpa Huo was disappointed in his grandson but couldn't bring himself to kick him out, so he eventually got used to it.
"Hmph, you're spending so much money to win Xu Qingyun's favor, what, trying to steal her away?"
Huo Yan chuckled, "That's right, doesn't your grandson have the courage?"
"Hmph, do you think you can poach him? You think you can steal Ji Hanchen's man like that?"
Huo Yan shrugged. "If I can't find her, I can't find her. At worst, I won't marry her as my wife. I can just adopt a younger sister, right? Anyway, I really like her."
"Useless!" Old Master Huo cursed.
Ji Yaxuan listened to their conversation from the side, feeling both angry and relieved.
What angered me was that the old man was still saying things out of anger. Huo Yan was already so ignorant and incompetent, yet the old man still couldn't bear to kick him out of the Huo family.
To her relief, her doubts vanished instantly.
Huo Yan's character is definitely not based on knowing that he and Xu Qingyun are siblings; he's just after women.
If that's the case, it'll be easy. We just need to find out from Bai Ruiting who knew about Ye Jianjia's child being cut open and taken away, and then kill them to cover it up.

Sheng Huating.
Xu Qingyun came out of the shower and wrapped herself tightly in a blanket.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. Ji Hanchen still hadn't sent her any messages, calls, or WeChat messages; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
This made Xu Qingyun a little uneasy. Ji Hanchen would never do such a thing. Even if he went out to buy something, he would definitely tell her.
She called again, but the call was disconnected as soon as it went through.
Xu Qingyun felt increasingly uneasy and called Shen Luo and Lu Chuan again, but no one answered.
Is Ji Hanchen having something important to discuss with them?
Worried that they might not be able to answer the phone, Xu Qingyun thought for a while and then called Jiang Xun instead.
"Miss Xu." Jiang Xun was panting heavily; he was so tired that even breathing was difficult for him.
Xu Qingyun frowned slightly. "Jiang Xun, do you know where Ji Hanchen is?"
“This…” Jiang Xun hesitated, because Bai Ruiting had told him not to contact Xu Qingyun if he had something to do.
However, Bai Ruiting didn't say he couldn't tell Miss Xu where President Ji was, so he sent her his location.
When Xu Qingyun saw Ji Hanchen, who was completely drunk, her brow furrowed deeply. She quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, touching Ji Hanchen's handsome face as she looked at Jiang Xun, "What happened? Why did he drink so much?"
Jiang Xun shook his head, "I don't know. Mr. Bai called me, and when I arrived, President Ji was already this drunk."
"He's vomited several times, and he's started vomiting bile, so he must have drunk a lot. After his last stomach problem, President Ji has been very restrained, so something must have happened this time."
Xu Qingyun pursed her lips.
It's probably related to Ren Anjing.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll take care of things here."
"Yes, Miss Xu."
After Jiang Xun left, Xu Qingyun lit incense, and the scent of pine wood wafted out, masking the unpleasant smell of alcohol in the air.
She went to cook some hangover soup, and while watching the pot, she unlocked Ji Hanchen's phone and dialed Ren Anjing's number.
The call was answered quickly, and Ren Anjing asked directly, "Have you figured it out?"
Xu Qingyun frowned, wondering what she had figured out.
She didn't say anything, and took her phone to the bedroom.
It was quiet around, and you could hear the sound of a pen scratching against paper from Ren Anjing's side. This workaholic was probably still working.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ren Anjing asked, displeased.
Xu Qingyun pinched Ji Hanchen, and the man on the bed let out a muffled groan.
"You've been drinking?! Ji Hanchen, is this all the confidence you have?"
Xu Qingyun pinched Ji Hanchen again, and he let out a groan that only a drunkard would make.
Ren Anjing was immediately furious, "Drunk like this! What problem do you think getting yourself drunk will solve?!"
"You and Xu Qingyun are destined to break up, so why not just end it cleanly?!"
"There are plenty of good women in the world, why does it have to be Xu Qingyun?! You have a deep-seated hatred between you, and she can't have children, why do you have to cling to her?!"
Xu Qingyun's pupils dilated in shock. A deep-seated hatred?! What deep-seated hatred?!
"Ji Hanchen, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?!"
"I am Xu Qingyun," Xu Qingyun replied coldly.
Ren Anjing narrowed her eyes. "Where's Ji Hanchen? Was that you just now? Trying to trick me into telling me something?!"
Xu Qingyun did not deny it, "Ms. Ren, what deep-seated hatred do I have with the Ji family that requires you to go to such lengths to make me break up with Ji Hanchen?"
Ren Anjing's tone was icy, "You don't need to know. You just need to know that it's impossible for you and Ji Hanchen. Xu Qingyun, if you take the initiative to break up, I will return Ye Xiao's shares to you and inject another 10 billion into Ye's Group."
