Chapter 375 Greed is Meaningless



"Huo Beichen, send someone you trust to my house."

"Da Wen is staying with me; he won't agree to leave."

"I've sent Xiao Wu out to continue searching for Zeze's whereabouts."

Huo Beichen frowned slightly.

Yun Suiwan continued, "You need to send someone you can trust; after all, that set of jewelry is quite expensive."

Huo Beichen smiled: "Do I still need to change tonight? I don't think it's necessary."

Yun Suiwan also curled the corners of her lips: "Is this what you really think?"

Her changing into that set of jewelry midway through the party only further emphasized the Yun family's high regard for Huo Beichen.

Huo Beichen is a shrewd strategist; he would never have overlooked this.

After a moment's thought, Huo Beichen called out, "Butler Lu."

"Sir." A middle-aged man, well past fifty, walked in.

"Go to Miss Yun's house and fetch a set of jewelry," Huo Beichen instructed.

Yun Suiwan felt somewhat disappointed.

Such a valuable set of jewelry failed to sway his trusted confidant, A Liang.

But Da Wen had inquired carefully and found out that A Liang had been in the city during this period.

Yun Suiwan thought to herself that she had no choice but to think of another way.

After sitting for a while, she went to the restroom.

As soon as I came out, I saw a familiar figure standing on the lawn outside.

Yun Wanqing.

Yun Suiwan forgot about her.

It would be easy for her to attend Huo Beichen's party.

"You really are lucky," Yun Wanqing said with a sneer. "Are you ready to be the Huo family's daughter-in-law? From now on, I'll be your sister-in-law."

“I also think I’m quite lucky,” Yun Suiwan replied without any politeness. “What, are you envious?”

Yun Wanqing glanced at the second-floor terrace. "I'm not here to argue with you. I have clues about Zeze. If you want to know, go upstairs and we'll talk."

She went up to the second floor first.

Yun Suiwan followed her upstairs to the second floor. "What do you want to tell me?"

As she spoke, she looked around at her surroundings and secretly memorized them.

"Yun Suiwan, do you know what kind of life you'll lead after you marry into the Huo family?" Yun Wanqing asked.

Yun Suiwan didn't say anything, and slowly moved towards the edge of the terrace.

“I advise you to be sensible,” Yun Wanqing said, moving closer to her. “Huo Beichen won’t spoil you like Lu Dongjue did. After you marry into the family, I will keep an eye on you every day.”

"You will also have a very good mother-in-law who will greet you every day."

"As for Zeze, don't worry, you will definitely become the best stepmother in the world."

A strange smile appeared on Yun Wanqing's face, and it rippled outwards like water.

Yun Suiwan raised her delicate eyebrows: "Don't worry, I will repay you twofold for everything you've given me... Ah!"

A scream!

The sound resounded throughout the entire venue!

Those with quick reflexes looked in the direction of the sound and were surprised to see a figure in a black dress vaulting down from the second-floor balcony railing...

Then another woman appeared at the edge of the terrace.

In an instant, everyone in the room was stunned.

Yun Wanqing was also stunned.

She didn't do anything, so why did Yun Suiwan fall down?

Immediately afterwards, a lean man rushed to the railing and grabbed Yun Suiwan's wrist... Fortunately, after Yun Suiwan climbed over the railing, she managed to grab it in time.

Yun Suiwan was pulled up by this man.

"Wanwan!" Lu Dongjue rushed over and hugged Yun Suiwan without saying a word.

His face was contorted with anxiety.

A familiar and warm atmosphere completely enveloped Yun Suiwan.

She couldn't help but crave more, and secretly took a deep breath, wanting to have more.

But at the same time, she was also keenly aware that clinging to this momentary warmth was utterly meaningless.

She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with unwavering resolve.

She suddenly reached out and pushed Lu Dongjue away.

Lu Dongjue was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground by her.

Huo Beichen also rushed over at that moment and witnessed the scene.

"Wanwan!" He quickly stepped forward and helped Yun Suiwan up.

Then she glanced at the man beside her, "Ah Liang, what's going on?"

Yun Suiwan's gaze shifted slightly.

Ah Liang finally appeared.

Ah Liang replied, "Yun Wanqing and his wife were talking when Yun Wanqing suddenly pushed his wife. Luckily, his wife grabbed the railing in time."

The balcony railing is only waist-high, so it's easy to fall if you exert too much force.

"Smack!"

Huo Beichen raised his hand and slapped Yun Wanqing hard across the face.

Yun Wanqing was stunned by the beating.

Her first reaction wasn't to retaliate or yell, but to look down at her own hands.

Did she just push Yun Suiwan?

She did indeed intend to postpone the year's events.

If Yun Suiwan gets into trouble, Lu Dongjue will definitely fight Huo Beichen.

She will still achieve her goal.

But just now, did her hands really touch Yun Suiwan?

She remembered that she hadn't touched it at all.

If she hadn't bumped into her, how did Yun Suiwan manage to climb over the railing?

Suddenly, she raised her face, realizing what had happened. "Yun Suiwan, you bitch, you framed me!"

"I didn't push you at all. You climbed over there yourself to frame me!"

"Smack!"

This time, Lu Dongjue slapped her cheek again.

Her cheeks immediately became red and swollen.

“You…you all…” Yun Wanqing burst into tears of resentment, “Why don’t you believe me? She really did climb over the fence herself…”

"By the way, there must be surveillance cameras in the manor. You can check the footage to see that I wasn't lying!"

"Check the security footage! Check the security footage now!"

Ah Lang looked at Huo Beichen: "Brother Chen, this is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, they can't capture it."

Yun Suiwan sneered inwardly.

idiot!

If she intended to frame someone, how could she let anyone find evidence against her?

Speaking of which, Yun Suiwan learned this trick from Yun Wanqing!

Because Yun Wanqing had done the same things to her so many times since she was a child, she was already very familiar with this approach!

Although Yun Suiwan's purpose today is to lure out A Liang, it wouldn't be bad to "frame" Yun Wanqing as well.

Yun Wanqing never had good intentions towards her, did she?

“Yun Suiwan, you…” Yun Wanqing finally understood and flew into a rage, “I’ll cripple you!”

She screamed and rushed forward, but Ah Liang gently pushed her away, causing her to fall to the ground.

Yun Suiwan looked aggrieved and frightened, tears streaming down her face. "Huo Beichen, leave her alone. I don't want to stay here..."

Lu Dongjue looked at her with concern, gazing at her intently.

He tried to take a step, but his legs felt like they were made of lead.

Huo Beichen put his arm around Yun Suiwan and left.

Lin Zhibai arrived just in time and watched as the two came downstairs, their affectionate embrace making them look like a loving couple...

He silently approached Lu Dongjue.

Just by looking at Lu Dongjue's face, he knew that he had suffered a lot of damage.

He could only pat Lu Dongjue on the shoulder: "It's alright, at least Wanwan is okay."

Lu Dongjue lowered his eyes, suppressing the anger surging within them.

Lin Zhibai noticed Yun Wanqing standing awkwardly to the side, her face full of resentment and anger. She had clearly been taught a lesson, but was unwilling to accept it.

Lin Zhibai curled his lips speechlessly, "Yun Wanqing, you're going to get yourself killed sooner or later."

Yun Wanqing trembled and suddenly knelt down with a "plop." "Brother Zhibai," she called out as she had when she was a child, "I didn't push Yun Suiwan down, I really didn't!"

She felt scared at that moment.

One is Lu Dongjue.

One Huo Beichen.

Lin Zhibai.

If any one of them were to harm her because of this, she would be in a terrible situation.

She needs to make this clear.
