Chapter 24 The Substitute Bride vs. the Cold-Hearted Young Master Huo (24)



The Qin family has become famous.

The Qin family of three, including Qin's father, Qin's mother, and Qin Wei, became incredibly famous.

Their inappropriate remarks and poor conduct caused the Qin Group's reputation to plummet.

Several celebrity spokespeople who partnered with the company voluntarily offered to terminate their contracts, expressing their willingness to pay the penalty for breach of contract.

Not only that, several collaborations the company was negotiating also fell through.

Even several investors who had maintained long-term cooperative relationships suddenly withdrew their investments.

Suddenly, the enormous Qin Group was plunged into dire straits.

When Qin's father realized something was wrong, he immediately spent money to clean up the online comments.

Strangely, things that could usually be solved simply by spending money are now taking a long time to get a response.

Not only did the trending topic not disappear, the Qin Group was also suddenly anonymously reported for tax evasion, and a special task force was sent to Qin Group to conduct a special investigation.

With nowhere else to turn for help, Qin's father could only turn to Huo Yan, his newly appointed son-in-law, for assistance.

The Huo family.

Qin Wan was not surprised to see her father arrive. Under her father's uneasy gaze, Qin Wan smiled and welcomed him into the room.

In the living room, the nanny served tea and snacks to Qin's father before leaving.

This was not the first time Qin's father had been alone with Qin Wan, but it was the first time he had felt uneasy and inferior in front of her.

"Wanwan, when is Huo Yan coming back?" Qin's father sat on the sofa, rubbing his hands anxiously, and asked Qin Wan with expectant eyes.

"It's already on its way," Qin Wan said with a smile.

"Oh, that should be soon."

...

After the brief exchange, an eerie silence fell over the large living room.

Qin Wan sat calmly and composedly, while Qin's father felt uneasy.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who had a calm demeanor and elegant bearing, Qin's father felt increasingly uneasy.

Once upon a time, Qin Wan was the most inconspicuous and least valued girl in the Qin family.

At that time, he was the sole ruler of the Qin family, and Qin Wan was nothing more than a sickly woman who had to obey his every whim.

Now, his and Qin Wan's positions and circumstances have completely reversed.

Thinking about this made Qin's father feel very uncomfortable and unhappy.

But he needed Huo Yan's help, and Qin Wan was valued by Huo Yan, so he had to suppress his displeasure.

Qin Wan watched with amusement as her father's face changed from pale to flushed, finding it utterly fascinating.

When Qin's father looked up and met Qin Wan's smiling gaze, his old face flushed red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

He always felt that Qin Wan's smile had a hidden meaning.

"Aren't we there yet?" Qin's father asked in a curt tone.

"It should be soon," Qin Wan replied perfunctorily, without even taking out her phone to call or message Huo Yan to ask.

Qin's father trembled slightly with anger, but could only suppress it, which made Qin Wan feel extremely relieved.

This is only the beginning, and the reaction is already so strong. What will happen later? Will they die of anger? Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, thinking.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, but Huo Yan, who should have been home long ago, still hadn't appeared. Qin's father's patience was completely exhausted by his repeated questioning.

"Didn't you say it would be quick? An hour has passed, where is Huo Yanren?"

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say Huo Yan cared about you a lot? You've only been married a short time, why isn't he coming home?"

"Qin Wan, you must give me an explanation today, or I will not let this go!"

In front of Qin Wan, Qin's father was still used to being arrogant.

His previous forbearance and subservience were only temporary. After failing to achieve his desired goal, Qin's father's true colors were revealed.

"You won't let this go easily?" Qin Wan asked with a light laugh. "What do you want to do? Or rather, what can you do?"

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, coupled with her dismissive tone, Qin's father immediately exploded!

"Qin Wan, what do you mean? Are you mocking me now?" Qin's father slammed his hand on the coffee table and suddenly stood up.

"I wouldn't say I'm mocking you, I'm just watching the show," Qin Wan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin's father's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Enraged, he temporarily forgot Qin Wan's current status and raised his hand to deliver a vicious slap to Qin Wan's fair face...

However……

The expected loud slap never came.

Qin's father blushed, his eyes widened, and he stared in disbelief at Qin Wan, who was smiling and holding his hand.

"You! You unfilial daughter!"

"Whether someone is filial or not is not up to you to decide," Qin Wan said with a smile.

"Dad, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're getting on in years and have experienced all sorts of human kindness and warmth. How can you still not see the situation clearly?"

As she spoke, Qin Wan shook off her father's hand, and the force of the impact caused him to fall heavily onto the sofa.

"How...how can you have such strength?" The pain from his body hitting the sofa jolted Qin's father awake.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Qin Wan, who seemed to have completely transformed.

Who exactly are you?

"You are not Qin Wan!" Qin's father suddenly shouted.

Qin Wan smiled and said softly, "I am Qin Wan."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Qin's father...

The villa next door, second-floor balcony.

Jiang Chen munched on his apple while watching the show.

"Tsk tsk."

"Does Huo Yan know the background of the woman he married?"

"The last one was my twin sister."

"This time it's his biological father."

"She really has the heart to do that."

As he was talking, Jiang Chen took out his phone and started snapping photos.

Didn't that woman say he had no evidence and didn't believe he would report her to Huo Yan?

Now he has it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he immediately sent the photos he had taken to Huo Yan.

The Fok Building.

Upon receiving the WeChat message from Jiang Chen, Huo Yan glanced at it casually before looking away...

Unexpectedly, this casual glance successfully stopped his gaze.

The next second, Huo Yan picked up his phone and immediately dialed Qin Wan's number.

The busy signal rang for a long time, but the person on the other end of the phone did not answer.

Huo Yan did not hesitate, got up, grabbed his car keys, and went downstairs without looking back.

Speeding all the way.

What should have been a half-hour journey, Huo Yan completed in just ten minutes.

The Huo family villa.

The moment the Huo family entered the house, Qin Wan immediately released her grip on her father, stood up, and tidied her disheveled hair and the hem of her clothes.

After confirming that her appearance had been restored, Qin Wan stood obediently to the side, a familiar gentle smile on her face, her bright eyes looking expectantly towards the front door.

With a creak, the door opened, and Qin Wan instinctively jogged forward to greet the man who had hurriedly returned.

"You're back."

Looking at the still well-behaved and adorable Qin Wan in front of him, Huo Yanwei breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.

"Are you alright?" Huo Yan's deep, husky voice rang in Qin Wan's ear...
