024 A Calm Madness
Xie Yaoyao has taught thousands of students and has also taken some psychology courses.
Seeing Xie Ziyu's expression, she knew he was definitely hiding something from her.
And it's something I'm afraid she'll find out about.
She softened her voice, with a hint of reassurance, "Where did Yubao see it?"
"I..." Xie Ziyu's eyes darted around, then suddenly an idea struck him, "I saw it in the news and newspapers."
We live in the information age, and there are many ways to obtain information.
Xie Yaoyao didn't think much of it. Maybe Xie Ziyu really saw it on the internet or in the newspaper. However, Ling Junqian was known as the "Little Zhou Mubai".
Mrs. Huo was very tight-lipped about her attitude towards the two men. Could it be...?
Xie Yaoyao was scrolling through Ling Junqian's scandals on her phone. It was said that after his debut, he was apparently kept by a rich woman.
Could this rich woman be Mrs. Huo?
Xie Yaoyao continued reading and found that some comments included photos of Ling Junqian being picked up by a Bentley.
The discussion in the comments section was very lively.
Xie Yaoyao zoomed in on the secretly taken photo and saw the license plate number. It was the same license plate number of the Bentley that had just been parked in Huo Yanxi's yard.
Therefore, the rumors are not unfounded.
Does Ling Junqian really have an illicit relationship with Madam Huo?
"Yu Bao, from now on, let's watch more cartoons and less gossip."
After all, the adult world is too corrupt, and she didn't want Xie Ziyu to be exposed to it too much.
He's only four and a half years old; he should still be a baby.
Seeing that Xie Yaoyao believed him, Xie Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and said very obediently, "Okay, Mommy, I will only watch cartoons from now on."
Xie Yaoyao smiled with satisfaction.
Inside the villa, Huo Yanxi stepped out of the car, exuding an oppressive aura of impending doom.
Si Yuan knew he was back, so she quickly led Huo Zidu out to greet him, as if she already considered herself the lady of the house.
"Yanxi, you're back. Mom's here."
Huo Yanxi didn't even glance at her, and with a long stride, he walked past the mother and son into the villa.
Si Yuan awkwardly brushed her hair aside and said to her son, who was taller than her, "That's just how your uncle is."
Arrogant and disdainful of others.
Five years ago, when he first returned to the Huo family, he was just as arrogant as ever, but she just happened to like his spirited demeanor.
If she could conquer a man like that and make him her devoted follower, she couldn't imagine how wonderful that would be.
Si Yuan loves challenges.
Huo Zidu nervously grabbed Si Yuan's arm, "Mommy, Uncle seems very angry. Will he send me back to the United States?"
He didn't want to go to the United States; he was unfamiliar with the place and the foreigners there always bullied him.
Si Yuan: "What are you afraid of? With your grandma protecting you, your uncle won't do anything to you."
Actually, Si Yuan had a question in her mind.
Even though Huo Yanzhou and Huo Yanxi are both sons of Madam Huo, why does Madam Huo treat them so differently?
She had witnessed how well Madam Huo treated Huo Yanzhou; she practically doted on him like a precious treasure.
However, he loathed Huo Yanxi.
If it weren't for the need for someone to take the blame and go to jail for Huo Yanzhou back then, she probably wouldn't have brought this youngest son back.
Huo Zidu was still very uneasy.
Huo Yanxi entered the villa and immediately instructed the butler, "Go, pack up Huo Zidu's things and throw him and his luggage back to the United States."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zidu broke down in tears, crying, "I don't want to go back to the United States, I don't want to go back to the United States."
Si Yuan panicked too.
She stepped forward. "Yanxi, aren't you afraid the media will write something ridiculous if you send Zidu away?"
Huo Yanxi sat on the sofa, not even lifting his eyelids. "You think I'm afraid?"
They agreed to bring Huo Zidu back, but only because they wanted to get the 20% stake held by the old fox.
Do they really think he's afraid of the media writing nonsense?
Si Yuan caught her breath when she met Huo Yanxi's cold gaze. If Huo Zidu was sent back to the United States, what reason would she have to approach Huo Yanxi again?
She looked anxiously at Mrs. Huo, who was also sitting on the sofa; both mother and son had indifferent expressions.
"Mom, please say something, Mom."
If Huo Yanxi really wanted to send the children back, she would have no power to stop him.
Mrs. Huo quietly looked at Huo Yanxi sitting opposite her.
Huo Yanxi's features are sharp and chiseled, with smooth bone lines, thin lips, and a high nose bridge.
Visually, it's a very aggressive-looking face, somewhat resembling Mr. Huo in his youth.
Especially those long, narrow phoenix eyes, with a faint, knowing smile, seemed to have others easily manipulated at will.
Madam Huo's fingernails dug into her palms. "Yanxi, that's enough. Zidu is your nephew."
Huo Yanxi lit a cigarette and bit it between his lips, a cold smile playing on his lips. "I'm destined to be a lone star, estranged from all my relatives. What is a nephew to me?"
"Huo Yanxi!" Madam Huo exclaimed angrily.
She hates the smell of smoke.
Every time she smells smoke, it reminds her of that unbearable past.
Huo Yanxi slowly exhaled a smoke ring, watching the white smoke ring fade into the air, while Madam Huo's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
He found it amusing and was quite pleased to see her in pain.
Madam Huo stood up abruptly. Huo Yanxi had deliberately mentioned the "lone star" to embarrass her.
"When you went missing, your father and I did look for you. How can you take out your own suffering on an innocent child?"
Huo Yanxi's gaze was cold and indifferent. "You didn't intentionally make me get lost?"
"Are you still holding a grudge against me for losing you?" Madam Huo looked down at him condescendingly. "If you want revenge, then come and take it out on me. The child is innocent."
Yan Zhou is dead, and no matter what, she must protect his only bloodline.
Huo Yanxi suddenly laughed, a laugh that was very complex and made it impossible to discern any emotion. Huo Yanxi's cold and noble face showed no joy or anger, but rather a kind of calm madness.
Si Yuan's palms were sweaty; she felt a chill run down her spine from that smile.
"I learned it from you."
The best way to get revenge on someone is to target the person they care about.
"you!"
Huo Yanxi flicked his cigarette ash and gave her two choices: "Either take him away, or don't interfere in anything he does here."
Mrs. Huo trembled with anger, "Huo Yanxi, you think you're all grown up now."
Huo Yanxi remained silent, only gazing at her quietly with his deep black eyes, waiting for her to make a choice.
Mrs. Huo was seething with anger.
This ungrateful wretch in front of me is a good thing she abandoned him back then.
Si Yuan and Huo Zi were so shocked that they didn't dare to breathe.
The contest between mother and son ended with Mrs. Huo giving in. She picked up her crocodile bag and said, "Yuanyuan, let's go."
Si Yuan was unwilling, but she also knew that the current situation was not good for her and her son.
She grabbed her bag and hurried after Mrs. Huo.
The sound of high heels clicking on the ground faded into the distance, and soon the sound of an engine came from outside the door.
Huo Zidu chased after him, crying.
Inside the villa, Huo Yanxi stubbed out his cigarette. The butler stepped forward and asked, "Fifth Master, should we call Teacher Xie and ask her to come back?"
