Sheng Danian and his men were dragged away by Yun Suiwan's men.
It wasn't until he was being dragged away that Sheng Danian realized what trouble he had gotten himself into.
Yun Suiwan beckoned to the brothers Da Wen and Xiao Wu, and the two of them came to her.
Yun Suiwan spread her arms and put them on the shoulders of the brothers, saying, "Go and bring Sheng Xiaowei over, and treat her well."
The brothers, Da Wen and Xiao Wu, exchanged a glance and then nodded.
Yun Suiwan patted them on the shoulder and said, "Go and get it done."
"yes."
After the two bodyguards left, Yun Suiwan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in her mouth. Just as she was about to light it, a man walked towards her.
"It's almost the end of the year." The visitor was Cheng Shaochen.
Upon seeing an old acquaintance, Yun Suiwan stopped lighting her cigarette and greeted him with a smile, "Shaochen, you're eating here too?"
Cheng Shaochen walked over and said, "I heard you were having dinner with Qin Wu."
Qin Wu, also known as Master Qin, is a notorious scoundrel in City A. When Cheng Shaochen heard that Yun Suiwan was having dinner with such a person, he immediately dropped everything and rushed over.
Seeing her holding a cigarette and looking nonchalant, Cheng Shaochen found her completely unfamiliar.
"Are you alright at the end of the year?" Cheng Shaochen asked, his voice filled with worry.
Yun Suiwan spread her hands and said, "I'm fine. Is there something you need?"
Her question, "Do you need something?" immediately created distance between them.
Hearing her distant words, Cheng Shaochen felt somewhat uneasy.
"I'm just worried about you."
"Oh."
Yun Suiwan lit a cigarette without thinking.
Watching the expertly light a cigarette, Cheng Shaochen couldn't help but frown.
She took a drag and exhaled a puff of smoke at him. "What could possibly happen to me? Those people's businesses all depend on the Yun family."
"Why did you get involved with them?" Cheng Shaochen was very puzzled. In just over a month, Yun Suiwan seemed to have become a different person.
"Making money is nothing to be ashamed of. Those who are capable will earn more, right?" Yun Suiwan said nonchalantly.
"Were you forced into marriage?" Cheng Shaochen's tone turned serious.
Yun Suiwan looked at him. "What's wrong? Did you hear something?"
"Rumors are circulating that you and Huo Beichen conspired to harm Lu Dongjue."
"ha?"
This rumor sounds quite novel.
Yun Suiwan took two puffs of her cigarette, but on the last puff, she inhaled too quickly and choked.
"Cough cough..."
"Year's end!"
Yun Suiwan raised his hand to indicate that she was alright and that he should not come any closer.
"Young Minister, Huo Beichen and I will get married sooner or later. As for harming Lu Dongjue, that's pure nonsense. We're breaking up peacefully."
When talking about a peaceful breakup, a fleeting look of helplessness crossed Yun Suiwan's eyes.
"Why choose Huo Beichen?" Even if I break up with Lu Dongjue, I can still choose him.
Yun Suiwan tilted his head back and took a drag of his cigarette. "Shaochen, we met when we were young, and I cherish our past friendship. I know you worry about me, but this is the path I must take. Don't ask anymore."
"If you're being forced into this situation at the end of the year, I can help you!"
"Hehe, thank you, Shao Chen. I understand. Let's go, it's getting late, time to go back to sleep."
Yun Suiwan did not let Cheng Shaochen continue speaking.
She didn't want to mention either Lu Dongjue or Huo Beichen.
As Cheng Shaochen watched her retreating figure, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
**
Yun Suiwan suffered from insomnia. She numbed herself every day, using continuous work to numb her brain nerves.
Only in this way could she avoid thinking about Lu Dongjue.
But tonight, when Cheng Shaochen mentioned him again, the longing buried deep in his heart surged up once more.
Longing surged towards her like a tidal wave.
Longing overwhelmed her instantly.
Yun Suiwan sat by the window, her body curled up in the chair, her eyes looking helplessly at the waning moon outside the window.
Lu Dongjue, are you alright?
**
Early the next morning, Huo Beichen sent someone to invite Yun Suiwan to stay in City C for a few days.
Yun Suiwan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Huo Beichen offered an attractive deal: if she stayed in City C for a week, he would give her an antidote to alleviate the pain caused by the full moon.
Yun Suiwan looked at the scratches on her wrist, which she had made with a knife on the night of the full moon last month.
Huo Beichen, well done, you're quite cunning.
After arranging things at the company, she led her group of subordinates to the Huo family in City C.
**
Yun Suiwan thought Huo Beichen simply wanted her to stay for a few days to create some gossip, but to her surprise, the entire Huo family was there as soon as she entered the Huo family home.
They all looked at Yun Suiwan with serious expressions, as if waiting for her to start a criticism session.
Yun Suiwan immediately spotted Chen Lizhen sitting in the main seat, a stepmother who was sitting arrogantly in the main seat.
Chen Lizhen wore a smug smile; clearly, this group was there to target Yun Suiwan.
Yun Suiwan stood at the door, but she did not come in.
At this moment, Huo Beichen strode over to greet him.
"Come in," he said softly.
Yun Suiwan glanced at him. "Huo Beichen, are you trying to sow discord between me and others?"
Huo Beichen's face darkened, and he remained silent.
"Fine, then don't blame me for not giving you face."
After saying that, Yun Suiwan pushed Huo Beichen aside and strode towards the hall.
Seeing this, everyone thought that this reckless woman had no manners at all.
She stood in the middle of the hall, looked around, and saw that the central spot in the room was empty.
She went straight to that seat and sat down.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Lizhen shouted.
But it was too late; Yun Suiwan had already taken her seat.
Yun Suiwan sat comfortably in the center seat, leaning back lazily with her legs crossed, squinting at everyone.
"Everyone, I didn't expect you all to be so formal. This is my first time visiting the Huo family, and I didn't bring any gifts. I'll make it up to you next time," Yun Suiwan said in a relaxed tone.
When the Huo family saw Yun Suiwan's lack of manners, their faces darkened.
However, since Huo Beichen is now the head of the family, they dare not say anything more.
Chen Lizhen was the first to challenge, "Don't you know the rules? That seat is reserved for the Huo family patriarch, and the patriarch hasn't been appointed yet, and you've actually taken it!"
As soon as Chen Lizhen spoke, the others couldn't help but respond with a drink.
Yun Suiwan glanced at her, "How dare you, a mistress who caused the death of the legal wife, attend such a formal occasion?"
Huo Beichen stood to the side, listening to Yun Suiwan's words, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"What did you say? You ill-mannered brat? I'm your elder!" Chen Lizhen's expression immediately changed.
Her identity was a taboo subject in the Huo family; no one dared to mention it.
This Yun Suiwan actually exposed her shortcomings right away. If she doesn't get her under control today, she won't have a good life in the future!
"You call yourself an elder? You dare to presume? Don't try to act important in front of me, you lowlife." Yun Suiwan gave her a cold look, completely disdainful.
"You! Master, look at what she's saying! She's not even married into the family yet, and she's already so arrogant and domineering. What will she do after she's married into the family? She'll be riding roughshod over us!"
Chen Lizhen is calling for reinforcements again.
Huo Zhengkun's old face was almost purple with anger. How dare this little brat bring this up in front of so many people!
"Once I marry into the Huo family, I'll kick you out and make sure you never set foot in the Huo family again."
