Mu Wenxi hung up the phone so suddenly that Bei's father never expected it. The image of the girl—hunchbacked, timid, and weak—appeared in his mind.
In their family's eyes, Mu Wenxi was no different from a nanny. They fed her, and she should be grateful. The sudden change left Mr. Bei stunned.
He picked up the phone and looked at it for a while to confirm that the other party had really hung up, and in a decisive tone. He was somewhat incredulous: She actually hung up on me!
A hint of anger flashed across Mr. Bei's face, but in reality, he was furious. Mu Wenxi had actually hung up on him! How dare she!
Mr. Bei turned to look at Bei Ying with a gloomy face: "Did the Huo family really give her a lot of money?"
Bei Ying looked at her somewhat angry father and her tone gradually softened: "I don't know, but Mu Wenxi always goes to and from school with Huo Jiangliu. They usually ride in the same car. Their driver is very respectful to Mu Wenxi. I've even seen them shopping together."
Seeing her father's expression, Bei Ying added, "Some people at school are speculating that Huo Jiangliu and Mu Wenxi are dating..."
Mr. Bei narrowed his eyes. If Mu Wenxi became the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, wouldn't she enjoy endless wealth and luxury?
Moreover, he thought of all that wealth, which should have originally belonged to Bei Ying. Initially, the Huo family specifically requested Bei Ying, but it was Bei Ying who refused to let Mu Wenxi take her place and personally sent Mu Wenxi in.
They had forgotten that Huo Jiangliu had kicked Bei Ying out.
Remembering what Mu Wenxi had just said, Bei's father asked, "When did Mu Wenxi sever ties with us?"
Bei Ying stammered, "On the day I went to the Huo family, I told my mother that she would only go in my place if we severed ties."
Father Bei slapped him across the face: "You're all idiots! Why didn't you discuss this with me and made the decision on your own? These things should have been ours all along."
Bei Ying's face swelled up immediately after being slapped. She covered her face and lowered her head, her eyes gloomy where her father couldn't see her.
She didn't want it; it was all Mu Wenxi's fault. Originally, it should have been her who went there. If it were her, she would have taken good care of Huo Jiangliu. Now that Huo Jiangliu has stood up, he will definitely repay her and might even make her Mrs. Huo.
She completely forgot her dislike and disgust for Huo Jiangliu at that time.
Just then, Aunt Bei, who is Bei Ying's mother, returned.
Bei Ying looked towards the door and saw her mother. She immediately ran over, her face full of grievance: "Mom, Dad hit me."
Aunt Bei, seeing Bei Ying's swollen face, immediately scolded Bei's father: "What happened? What's wrong with you?"
Mr. Bei glanced at her and said, "You two idiots, Huo Jiangliu is standing up."
Aunt Bei: "What? Isn't Huo Jiangliu disabled for life?"
How could this be? Wasn't it said that he would never be able to stand up again? How did he manage to stand up?
Bei Ying: "Mom, he really stood up."
Aunt Bei's expression shifted several times, and finally, perhaps to reassure herself, she said, "It's just that she stood up, is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Hearing her nonchalant attitude, Bei's father became angry again: "I heard you broke off your relationship with Mu Wenxi?"
Aunt Bei then remembered this incident: "At the time, she refused to go to the Huo family no matter what. She insisted that we and Mu Guoqiang sever ties with her before she would go. We had no choice but to agree."
Mr. Bei: "She had this planned all along. If she really becomes a daughter-in-law of the Huo family, our family won't benefit at all."
Aunt Bei: "What? A daughter-in-law of the Huo family? The Huo family would even consider Mu Wenxi?"
Bei Ying: "Mom, the two of them go to and from school together every day."
Bei Ying's eyes showed resentment, Aunt Bei's eyes grew increasingly deep, and Father Bei was also deep in thought.
Mu Wenxi chuckled and hung up the phone. She then saw Huo Jiangliu and Qi Yang looking at her with gossipy eyes. Huo Jiangliu was alright, as he knew about her relationship with the Bei family. She mainly explained things to Qi Yang.
Qi Yang almost crushed the bottle in his hand after hearing this: "The Bei family is really inhuman, and your father is no human either. They didn't even care about such a young child. And is that Aunt Bei really your mother's sister? Disgusting."
Mu Wenxi: "I almost didn't make it back, but it's all in the past now."
Qi Yang: "Fortunately, you broke off relations with them back then."
Mu Wenxi shook his head: "Thanks to the Huo family and Jiang Liu, otherwise I would not have been able to escape that devil's place."
Huo Jiangliu patted Mu Wenxi's head in front of Qi Yang: "No one will treat you like that again."
Mu Wenxi praised him exaggeratedly: "Hmm, Huo Jiangliu, you are truly my lucky charm."
Huo Jiangliu also helped her make a lot of money, including the stocks from last time.
Huo Jiangliu responded dramatically, "Clearly, it's you who is."
Qi Yang flinched and hugged his shoulders: "God of Luck, you two are disgusting."
The two looked at Qi Yang, who immediately shut his mouth.
Mu Wenxi raised his drink: "Come on, cheers for our new life."
Huo Jiangliu: "Cheers, may your days be carefree and worry-free from now on."
Qi Yang, holding his almost crushed Coke, said, "Cheers, may we both get rich!"
The three of them played cards in the private room for almost the entire night without realizing it. Finally, unable to stay awake any longer, they threw down their cards and fell asleep in the room.
The private room had a circle of sofas. Mu Wenxi was lying on the left sofa, Qi Yang had fallen to the floor while sleeping, and Huo Jiangliu was leaning against the middle sofa.
This was the scene that greeted Mu Wenxi when he opened his eyes.
Huo Jiangliu leaned lazily against the sofa, his eyes closed, his long legs stretched out far apart. Even in his sleep, he couldn't hide his noble air, and his clothes were not even in disarray.
In contrast, Qi Yang was lying on the ground with his clothes pulled up to his stomach, his whole body spread out in a starfish shape, and his stomach was so white.
While Mu Wenxi was observing Qi Yang, Huo Jiangliu opened his eyes and gave her a deep look, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis.
Huo Jiangliu: "Awake?"
Mu Wenxi: "Hmm."
Huo Jiangliu got up, walked past Qi Yang, and pulled down his clothes: "Don't look."
Mu Wenxi: "I didn't see it."
Huo Jiangliu: "If you want to see, then look at mine. I have abs."
Mu Wenxi suddenly glared at him: "I told you I didn't look at it."
Huo Jiangliu, taking it a step further, subconsciously asked, "Want to touch it?"
Mu Wenxi's jaw almost dropped to the ground. What's wrong with Huo Jiangliu?
Huo Jiangliu coughed and asked, "Shall we go together?"
Mu Wenxi: "Let's go."
She walked out of the room first and didn't notice that Huo Jiangliu's ears were bright red behind her.
When Qi Yang woke up, the other two people in the private room had left except for him, and he was lying on the cold floor, sneezing incessantly.
He stood up and shouted into the air, "These two have gone too far!"
