Su Yaoyao clenched her fists, biting her lips until they turned white.
Huo Xiting looked at the farce at the dining table and suddenly said something in a low voice.
"Godfather, I remember that the Su family has severed ties with Yaoyao."
Yu Qing raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't surprised that Huo Xiting would defend Su Yaoyao. He smiled faintly and spoke.
"Isn't this to discuss your relationship with Yaoyao? No matter what, the Su family still raised Yaoyao. This is a major life event, so of course we should discuss it with your parents."
Huo Xiting glanced at Su Yaoyao's pale face, feeling a mix of emotions.
Yu Qing watched this scene with a cold smile in his eyes.
Huo Xiting wanted to say something more, but Su Yaoyao had already stood up and slowly spoke to the people present.
"I...I need to go to the restroom first, sorry."
After saying this, Su Yaoyao left before the others could react.
Su Qingqing looked at Su Yaoyao's flustered and hurried back, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
...
In the restroom.
Su Yaoyao scooped up a handful of cold water and haphazardly splashed it on her face.
She looked at herself in the mirror, her face pale, her eyes filled with suppressed emotion.
Yu Qing promised her that he would help release Yu Chiyan, but on the condition that she be with Huo Xiting.
Thinking of this, Su Yaoyao's eyes reddened.
She didn't know what tricks Yu Qing was playing, but as long as Yu Chiyan could gain temporary freedom, he would definitely be able to turn the current situation around.
Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open.
The person who arrived was Su Qingqing. She looked at Su Yaoyao with disgust in her eyes.
"Su Yaoyao, you're really shameless. Yu Chiyan was only invited to investigate, and you were already trying to seduce Huo Xiting. You're disgusting."
Su Yaoyao simply smiled faintly at her insults and humiliation.
"Su Qingqing, if it weren't for the fact that Huo Xiting only wants me, you would probably already be naked and in his bed by now, right? What right do you have to talk to me like that?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing's eyes immediately blazed with anger; "Su Yaoyao, do you think I'm as shameless as you?"
Su Yaoyao tilted her head, her gaze towards her carrying a hint of coldness and mockery.
"What, you mean you still like Yu Chiyan?"
These words successfully changed Su Qingqing's expression. Su Yaoyao pulled out two tissues and slowly wiped the water stains off her hands. Her voice was soft and unhurried, but it made Su Qingqing feel a chill run down her spine.
"In just these two days, I've figured it out. This Mr. Yu, although he's Yu Chiyan's uncle, seems to hate the Yu family to the core. Su Qingqing, tell me, if you, a lackey working for Yu Qing, really fall in love with Yu Chiyan, how will he treat you?"
Hearing this, Su Qingqing was shocked. "Su Yaoyao, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is Yu Qing's lackey? What are you spouting, you bitch!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao smiled. Originally, she was just guessing, but Su Qingqing's obvious guilty denial confirmed her suspicions.
"Su Qingqing, don't think that just because you destroyed the recording, no one will suspect you. Although I don't know how you poisoned Grandma, if you did it, there will definitely be clues. I just don't know if Mr. Yu will help you cover it up."
Hearing this, Su Qingqing kept sneering; "Su Yaoyao, stop messing with me, I don't understand what you're saying at all."
Su Yaoyao leaned against the sink, coldly looking at her; "If you don't understand, how do you know I'm trying to piss you off?"
Just as he finished speaking, several hurried and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Yu Chiyan!"
Chen Huimei's exclamation came from the living room, and Su Yaoyao and Su Qingqing's expressions changed at the same time.
"Get out of here."
In a panic, Su Yaoyao pushed aside Su Qingqing, who was blocking the doorway.
Caught off guard, Su Qingqing was pushed aside and slammed into the door frame, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.
"You bitch!"
She cursed under her breath, and remembering that Yu Chiyan had appeared, she ignored the pain in her body and quickly followed him.
Su Yaoyao rushed into the living room, only to find that the atmosphere was not as tense as she had imagined.
The man in the black suit was as upright as ever. Even in front of Yu Qing, even though the situation was not in his favor, he still acted with such ease, as if he had everything under his control.
The person standing next to him was Huo Xiting, a gentle man whose brows were now cold.
"Mr. Yu, why are you back at this hour?"
Upon seeing Huo Xiting, a cold glint appeared between Yu Chiyan's brows. He glanced at Yu Qing, who was staring blankly at him, before turning his gaze back to Huo Xiting. The smile on his lips was faint, carrying a chilling undertone.
"Isn't he my uncle's adopted son? Why doesn't he even dare to call me 'elder brother'?"
Huo Xiting's hand, which was at his side, stiffened slightly, and the smile on his face was somewhat forced. "He's just my godfather's adopted son. Whether he calls me that or not doesn't matter."
Yu Chiyan suddenly laughed; "It seems you do know you're not worthy."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Yu Chiyan coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, finally fixing it on a figure at the back of the group.
She wore a simple light blue dress, her long hair cascading down to her waist. Her small, delicate face was exquisitely beautiful, yet unusually pale, exuding a sickly air that evoked pity and made her seem endearing. But this person did not include Yu Chiyan.
"Isn't this my ex-wife? We're already divorced, why did she follow me here? What, does she like me that much that she has to stick to me like a lapdog?"
