Chapter Sixty-Three: Su Muchi Publicly Confesses Her Love
After sending the voice message, a guess popped into Huo Junjun's mind.
—Perhaps the younger uncle invested in the older brother!
She decided to ask her brother for an explanation.
But ever since she caught her brother cheating on her, he hasn't said a single word to her.
So she asked Su Muci to keep it a secret, lest he be too ashamed and run away at the last minute!
Huo Junjun sent Su Muci a string of addresses.
...
Just as Su Muci received the restaurant address, Huo Zhan came out of the jewelry club.
She felt it wasn't right to trick him into going to lunch, so she honestly said, "Mr. Huo, your sister invited us to lunch together."
Huo Zhan: "?"
He paused for a second before realizing that the younger sister she was referring to was her niece, Huo Junjun.
"Which restaurant is it? I'll take you there."
"Take me there? You're not planning to see her?"
"Yes, we'll meet on our wedding day. I have something else to do this afternoon."
"good……"
Su Muci didn't say anything more and got into the car with him.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Huo Zhan got out of the car and personally escorted her to the restaurant entrance. After watching her enter the restaurant, he turned and left.
I had only taken two steps when I suddenly heard—
"Uncle!"
Huo Junjun jogged over, her face full of disbelief: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Huo Zhan's face turned cold when he saw his eldest niece. "Junjun, have I already arranged all the real estate lawsuits for you?"
"Huh?" Huo Junjun was flustered by his businesslike tone. "Almost done..."
"If you haven't done your job well, stop meddling in other people's family affairs. Otherwise, next time I'll consider handing this kind of case over to someone more capable."
Huo Junjun nodded repeatedly after being criticized, saying, "Uncle is right."
I had originally wanted to ask my uncle how he ended up here, but now I didn't dare to ask any further.
She watched him get into the car with utmost respect, and once the car was far away, she felt as if she had seen off a great figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she remembered his scolding words: "Stop meddling in other people's family affairs?"
Could it be that her older brother was unhappy that she exposed his meeting with his mistress, and thus reported her to her younger brother?
She stomped her feet and strode into the restaurant.
"elder brother--!"
Huo Junjun's questioning voice trailed off the moment she saw Su Muci.
Huo Junjun looked around, her brow furrowing. "Where's my brother?"
Su Muci: "Junjun, your brother has gone to take care of something."
"Huh? Oh! So you're avoiding me!"
Huo Junjun puffed out her cheeks in anger.
Su Muci comforted her, saying, "Junjun, sit down and eat properly."
Even though Huo Junjun was angry, she could only sit down first.
After ordering, she leaned closer to Su Muchi with a gossipy air: "What happened between my rich best friend and my brother last night? Is he still a virgin?"
We sleep in separate rooms.
"What did you say? Separate rooms right after getting married?"
To prevent Junjun from finding out about their agreement, Su Muci took the initiative to say, "It was my request. We got married a bit too quickly. Let's wait until we're more familiar with each other before we sleep together."
"I see……"
Huo Junjun sighed: "You still can't let go of Fu Hengzhi, right? Well, after three years, even if you want to break free, it'll be a painful experience. Mu Ci, I understand you!"
Just then, the waiter came over to serve the dishes and heard a familiar name—Fu Hengzhi.
Looking at the two people in front of me, isn't one of them Su Su, the female radio host who won the championship and was trending on social media?
The trending topic about the engagement ring worn by livestreamer SuSu is still up.
Upon hearing the name of the heir of the Fu Group again, the waiter immediately thought of a hot-selling news item.
Su Muci's eyes darkened, and she explained to Huo Junjun, "During those three years, I did love Fu Hengzhi very much, so much that I couldn't extricate myself. Without him, I would rather die."
"But Junjun, that was just the past me. Ever since I found out he lied to me, I've wanted him no more."
"Having finally climbed out of the mud, all I want to do is thoroughly wash away the silt and cut all ties with the past."
Hearing Su Muci's resolute words, Huo Junjun poured herself a glass of juice and toasted with her.
"Mu Ci, I hope this new marriage will make you happy. If your husband does something wrong, you can try to discipline him. If you can't, come to me and I'll stand up for you."
"May we say goodbye to the past together!"
As the two clinked glasses, a waiter in a nearby corner played back the audio recording they had just heard:
"I do love Fu Hengzhi very much, I love him so much that I can't extricate myself. Without him, I would rather die."
She smiled with satisfaction, certain she could sell it for a good price.
He immediately joined the "SuSu Black Material Group" and tagged the group admin, saying, "I have some explosive dirt on streamer SuSu! Let's discuss the price!"
...
On the other side, in a private tea room with excellent privacy, two men sat facing each other.
Cheng Siyu came to say goodbye to Huo Zhan.
"Mr. Huo, everything in Jiangcheng is settled, and I'm preparing to return to Beijing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Zhan interrupted him: "Dr. Cheng, how is skin thirst treated?"
Huo Zhan felt something was wrong with Su Muci's body when he held her last night. After researching a lot of information, he found that her symptoms were very similar to skin thirst syndrome, so he thought of consulting Cheng Siyu.
Upon hearing this, a clear look of surprise flashed in Cheng Siyu's eyes.
“Mr. Huo, in my observation, you yourself do not show any tendency toward these kinds of symptoms.”
"It wasn't me."
Huo deliberately concealed the truth.
Cheng Siyu didn't ask any further questions, and said in a professional tone, "The key to treating this kind of illness is to find and resolve the cause. It often stems from an extreme lack of security or major psychological trauma, causing the patient to have an abnormal desire for physical contact."
"If left untreated for a long time, it may develop into depression, low self-esteem, or even suicide."
Suicide?
Upon hearing the last two words, Huo Zhan felt his blood surge and pound in his chest.
Huo Zhan pressed further, "How do we find the cause of the illness?"
Cheng Siyu suggested: "I recommend that you arrange for the patient to try a hypnotherapy session under my guidance."
"Understood, I'll make the arrangements. Thank you for your help, Dr. Cheng."
Thank you for your help?
Cheng Siyu felt that Huo Zhan was being overly polite today.
His intuition as a psychologist sent a chill down his spine.
He knew Huo Zhan too well; the calmer and more even someone appeared on the surface, the more turbulent the undercurrents might be beneath.
Cheng Siyu asked tentatively, "Mr. Huo, are you sure you haven't had any dangerous thoughts lately?"
Huo Zhan replied firmly, "No."
Cheng Siyu tried to find any trace of pretense in those unfathomable dark pupils.
But Hozan performed flawlessly.
"That's good."
Cheng Siyu appeared relaxed, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
Suddenly, a news article popped up on my phone's homepage: [Female anchor Su Su publicly professes her love!]
At the same time, Huo Zhan also received the notification.
Public declaration of love?
Shouldn't she be having dinner with Junjun?
Huo Zhan picked up his phone and opened the news article; a recording was immediately played:
"I do love Fu Hengzhi very much, I love him so much that I can't extricate myself. Without him, I would rather die."
