"How could he do this!" Hua Fei was furious.
“When Mr. Huo told me, he sounded very apologetic,” Aunt Li replied. “I can understand him. He consulted so many doctors, but only this one surnamed Qiu could treat the young master.”
“But I’m not willing to accept this,” Aunt Li continued. “I can’t let people really think that this is a misunderstanding.”
So Aunt Li swallowed her anger and stayed.
She believed that a leopard can't change its spots, and that the man surnamed Qiu would eventually reveal his true colors again.
Then she'll have the evidence, and no one will be able to deny it.
Unexpectedly, this time, she discovered a shocking secret.
The secret camera she installed captured Qiu chatting privately with Sun Xiaowei's assistant.
"That guy surnamed Qiu is a complete fraud!"
Aunt Li was furious. "He doesn't know how to treat illnesses at all. The reason the young master can sleep well at night is because he added sleeping pills to his medicine!"
"My poor young master has been taking sleeping pills for over a month!"
"Was this instigated by Sun Xiaowei?" Hua Fei clenched her fists secretly.
Aunt Li shook her head: "In the end, it was found that Miss Sun's assistant had bribed the man surnamed Qiu to deceive Huo Beichen. Miss Sun was kept in the dark."
"But who would believe that?!" Aunt Li scoffed contemptuously, then deflated. "But President Huo believes that just punishing that assistant and that guy surnamed Qiu will settle the matter."
“Madam, I haven’t mentioned these things because I think Mr. Huo has a point.”
"But now I think you should want to know these things."
To put it simply, she was saved by Hua Fei and was moved, so she was willing to talk about it.
“Thank you for telling me all this,” Hua Fei nodded. “Don’t worry, I will definitely make Sun Xiaowei pay for what she did!”
After seeing Aunt Li off, she sat alone in her room, trying to sort out her thoughts.
But I just can't make sense of it.
Later, when A-Yue arrived, she told A-Yue about it, and the two of them sorted out their thoughts together.
“Sun Xiaowei believes that she will definitely have children after marrying Huo Beichen, so she uses this method to deal with Zeze,” A Yue said.
Hua Fei didn't understand. "Zeze's mother is gone, and Zeze doesn't have a formal identity. Even if she gave birth to a child, what is there to be afraid of?"
A-Yue also guessed why, "Could it be that the Huo family has an unwritten rule that the family business can only be handed over to the first son?"
“I’ve never heard of such a rule in the Huo family,” Hua Fei shook her head. “No matter what era it is, they would never prioritize handing over the family business to an illegitimate child.”
"Did Huo Beichen make a will to pass on his family business to Zeze?" A Yue asked again.
"That's even more impossible." Hua Fei found it amusing.
“Huo Beichen is a very shrewd man,” Hua Fei had already figured out. “No matter how much he likes Sun Xiaowei, he will find a way to balance things out and put himself on an equal footing with her.”
"You mean he deliberately elevated Zeze's status to make Sun Xiaowei feel threatened, so that he could control Sun Xiaowei?" Ayue asked.
Huafei nodded.
She understands Huo Beichen; he is far more cunning than the average person, otherwise he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.
A-Yue couldn't refute her words; she just felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Just then, the housekeeper rushed over and said, "Madam, Miss Gu is on the phone in the living room."
Huafei then realized that his phone was out of battery.
Gu Fanyan must have something urgent to call the home phone.
She picked up the landline in the room. "Ms. Gu."
"Dr. Hua," Gu Fanyan asked, "Do you know where Huo Beichen took Sun Xiaowei?"
Hua Fei was taken aback. "I don't know, what happened?"
“Sun Xiaowei has disappeared. Someone saw Huo Beichen take her away from the party, but nobody knows where she went,” Gu Fanyan replied.
“Now the Sun family has contacted me and asked me to help them find Sun Xiaowei.”
Gu Fanyan couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to call Hua Fei.
Hua Fei pondered for a moment, "Miss Gu, why don't you come to the Huo family? Let's discuss it together."
“Okay.” Gu Fanyan said gratefully.
Hua Fei told her to go to the Huo family so that the Sun family wouldn't bother her anymore.
“Sun Xiaowei has disappeared. What happened?” A-Yue asked in confusion. “However, Huo Beichen did seem quite angry when he left the party tonight.”
"It's just a setup," Hua Fei said.
"Who is he setting this up for?" Yue asked.
“Give it to me,” Hua Fei replied. “He wants me to reveal my true identity.”
“Any attempt to find out indirectly is less believable than me telling you proactively.”
A-Yue gasped in shock; Huo Beichen's scheming was indeed deep.
"So what are you going to do?" A-Yue asked.
Hua Fei shook her head; she hadn't decided yet.
Before long, Gu Fanyan arrived.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I've dragged you into my business with Huo Beichen," Hua Fei said as soon as she saw her.
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly, "Let's try to find Sun Xiaowei as soon as possible. The Sun family has already called Lin Zhibai."
If this drags on any longer, the Sun family will disturb several prominent families in the city.
The Sun family did this on purpose; they wanted to escalate the situation and put Huo Beichen at a disadvantage in public opinion.
Is that really the case? Huafei isn't sure.
"Miss Gu, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Hua Fei told Gu Fanyan everything that Aunt Li had told her.
She felt that after hearing this, Gu Fanyan would no longer believe that Sun Xiaowei's disappearance was true.
"You mean Sun Xiaowei's disappearance was a staged act orchestrated by her and Huo Beichen?" Gu Fanyan asked.
Huafei nodded.
A-Yue also said, "Miss Gu, do you think Huo Beichen is very cunning? Even in front of his fiancée, he knows how to maintain a balance of power."
Gu Fanyan thought for a moment, "Why don't you think that Sun Xiaowei sees Zeze as a thorn in her side because Huo Beichen values Zeze too much?"
"Huo Beichen values Zeze? Why?" A Yue asked back.
"Because the woman he loves most is Zeze's mother." Gu Fanyan looked at Hua Fei.
Hua Fei was stunned, then gave a cold laugh: "Miss Gu, I know you care about me, but what you're talking about is absolutely impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Gu Fanyan retorted.
"Because... I had many opportunities with him, and he let them slip away every time."
"Besides, if I were truly loved by him, would I have gone through so much pain?"
“Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding between you two…” Gu Fanyan looked at the phone next to her. “Call Huo Beichen now. The Sun family has mobilized all their resources but can’t find Sun Xiaowei. I believe you can do it with just one phone call.”
Huafei didn't believe it.
“Why don’t you give it a try?” Gu Fanyan continued. “Anyway, you won’t lose anything, right?”
Hua Fei thought to herself, she had proven it so many times, but Gu Fanyan still didn't believe her.
Then she'll prove it one more time.
