"Enough!" Huo Beichen cursed angrily and slammed the door as he left.
The butler had already retreated to the second-floor terrace, watching Huo Beichen drive away from the garden late at night.
After much deliberation, he arrived at the bedroom door, only to find Sun Xiaowei lying on the floor.
Worried that something might have happened, he quickly went inside and found Sun Xiaowei drunk, lying on the floor, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Miss Sun, the floor is cold. Let me help you to the sofa."
The butler helped her up, but she grabbed his arm tightly and sobbed, "...It was clearly him who killed Sheng Nanyin, so why is he taking his anger out on me?"
"He left her no way out, and he left me no way out either... What exactly is he trying to do..."
The butler snapped back to reality, shaking his head and sighing softly, "I don't quite understand what she meant, but I'm afraid Miss Sheng is probably in grave danger..."
"Madam, you don't need to worry. Even if Mr. Huo still has feelings for Miss Sheng, it's probably mostly just nostalgia."
"After all, Miss Sheng has been with Mr. Huo for a long time."
"Yes, housekeeper, thank you," Hua Fei said. "You can go ahead with your work. I want to be alone for a while."
The butler nodded and left.
Hua Fei completely collapsed, overwhelmed by a mixture of anger and sadness. Her eyes held no tears, only hatred.
The housekeeper couldn't understand the meaning behind Huo Beichen and Sun Xiaowei's words, but she did.
Two years ago, in the autumn, Sheng Nanyin was asked by a man to treat his father.
The patient's condition is not complicated.
Sheng Nanyin was also very confident.
Unexpectedly, the patient suddenly fell ill and died... All the evidence pointed to Sheng Nanyin, who made a wrong diagnosis and prescribed the wrong medication.
Only she herself knew best that this was a conspiracy.
A life was taken to set up a conspiracy against her.
She was unwilling to accept it.
She tried every possible way to escape.
But she couldn't escape it.
...
"Dr. Hua." A-Yue's voice pulled her back from her memories, and she realized that she had been crying without realizing it.
"Are you thinking about things from the past again?" A-Yue understood her.
Hua Fei wiped away her tears. "Is something wrong? Is Zeze feeling unwell?"
A-Yue shook her head. "I just received news that the Sun family is demanding the withdrawal of all their investments in the Huo family. Several banks, after learning about this, have jointly launched a demand for repayment from Huo Beichen's company."
The Huo family was able to borrow large sums of money from banks mainly because of the Sun family's guarantees.
“Huo Beichen’s life isn’t easy.” A Yue sat down, somewhat surprised. “I didn’t expect that Huo Beichen would actually offend the Sun family for your sake.”
"I thought he was just putting on an act."
"Why do you think that is?"
Hua Fei disagreed: "Maybe what you saw was just an act."
"And what's the purpose?" A-Yue retorted, "Just to move you? To get you to reveal your true identity?"
Hua Fei couldn't answer, but based on her understanding of Huo Beichen, things wouldn't be that simple.
"Don't worry, Huo Beichen will never put himself in a situation where he has no way out."
"You're just being stubborn," A-Yue pouted. "Hide your concern well, or I'll definitely laugh at you if I see it."
Hua Fei smiled but didn't say anything.
A-Yue still doesn't understand Huo Beichen enough.
His ruthlessness, his coldness, and his merciless "annihilation" of her are still vivid in her mind.
Huo Beichen didn't go home for three days in a row.
A-Yue brought up the topic again, "He must be having a really tough time because of the Sun family. Dr. Hua, are you really not going to go and see him?"
Hua Fei was wiping the silver needles without looking up. "I hope he comes back often, otherwise I won't be able to get what I want from him."
"Stubborn to the end." Ah Yue went out.
Not long after, A-Yue came in again, but this time she looked nervous and secretive.
"Dr. Hua, something has happened."
Hua Fei immediately glanced out the window and saw the housekeeper pushing Ze Ze in a stroller, sunbathing in the garden.
"What is it?" she asked only after confirming that no one was listening.
"Huo Beichen sent people to investigate in the prison and bribed a prison guard," A Yue said in a low voice. "Fortunately, this prison guard is my uncle's student, and he told my uncle about it immediately."
Ah Yue's uncle is the head of that prison.
Hua Fei was right; Huo Beichen had indeed become suspicious of her identity.
"What did your uncle tell him?" Hua Fei asked.
“My uncle told him to point Huo Beichen’s men in the wrong direction,” A-Yue replied. “But my uncle also said that it’s impossible to cover up the truth, and that we should quickly come up with a safer solution.”
"We need to speed things up." Hua Fei thought for a moment, then got up and left the treatment room.
She walked into the garden and was greeted by the butler and Zeze who were walking towards her.
"Mrs."
“Mother Hua”.
Hua Fei smiled slightly, but her brow remained furrowed.
"Madam, what's wrong?" the butler asked.
"Huo Beichen hasn't come back for several days. Is something wrong at the company?" Hua Fei asked.
The butler didn't hide anything, "The Sun family, together with the bank, demanded the withdrawal of their shares and capital, but President Huo should be back tomorrow."
"Why?" Hua Fei asked, puzzled.
"Today, people from Sun's company and the bank went to the company to sign the share withdrawal and loan repayment agreement. This matter will surely be resolved," the butler replied.
Hua Fei was silent for a moment, then said, "Butler, prepare a car for me. I want to go to the company."
Before leaving, she instructed the housekeeper: "Don't tell Huo Beichen. I just want to go and see him. I don't want to cause him any trouble."
The butler nodded.
Hua Feifu's appearance on the first floor of the company instantly attracted the attention of all the company employees present.
The news of Huo Beichen's marriage spread throughout the entertainment circle.
Many socialites regretted not seizing the opportunity.
But many socialites secretly mocked Sun Xiaowei.
However, they did agree on one thing, which is quite rare: Mrs. Huo's position would not last long.
Therefore, the crowd's gazes contained disdain, mockery, and also some sympathy.
Huafei ignored it and walked straight to the elevator.
"Miss," the receptionist approached her, "what can I do for you? Do you have an appointment?"
Hua Fei clearly saw the disdain in her eyes; she wasn't there to ask questions, but to drive the guest away.
This is a test.
If Huafei is driven away this time, they will know how to treat "Mrs. Huo" in the future.
Hua Fei raised an eyebrow coldly and retorted, "You don't know who I am?"
What do you do at work? Slack off?
"A company's receptionist represents the company's image! So this is the image of Huo Beichen's company!"
“This is a very serious matter. I will notify Huo Beichen immediately and have him handle it personally!”
Huafei indeed took out his phone to make a call.
"Madam, Madam, please wait a moment!" The receptionist's memory had fully returned, and she knew who she was.
"President Huo is busy in the conference room, please don't disturb him with such a small matter."
"I'll press the elevator button for you."
The receptionist unlocked the elevator, pressed the button for the floor where the meeting room was located, and then respectfully made a "please" gesture, saying, "Madam, please go ahead."
Hua Fei hummed in agreement, remaining calm. "I will report this matter to President Huo. As for how to punish you, we'll discuss that later."
"Yes." The receptionist nodded repeatedly.
She didn't dare to relax until the elevator doors closed and she started going up; her face remained pale.
