During the few days that Old Master Huo stayed overnight, he was quite busy.
He took Chaochao to a teahouse to meet a group of friends, which seemed to be a way of showing off his granddaughter.
Surrounded by a group of old Beibei people, Chaochao was clearly not intimidated. She was beautiful and charming, and her sweet words made her very popular, keeping the old people very happy.
The little dumpling's signature "flowering" magic trick is something the elderly never tire of watching.
Every time Chaochao goes out for a walk, she comes back laden with snacks, her pockets filled with little treats stuffed in by some grandpa or grandma. She wears an antique and expensive jade necklace around her neck and a loose gold bracelet on her wrist.
The little figure always emerged from the pile of old Beibei in a daze.
The waiters who came out of the private room at the teahouse all looked like they were questioning their existence.
Are these people really powerful figures in City B?
Are they really not the chattering old men and women dancing in the square?
The elderly folks who had seen Huo Yuanfeng's beloved granddaughter outside were still not satisfied when they got home, so they asked their grandsons to come and have a go at the flower garden too.
After the ride was over, the elderly people leaned back in disgust.
Huh, what's that?
The rejected thing looked aggrieved and ran away in tears.
Waaaaah, am I no longer Grandpa/Grandma's favorite baby??
Seeing that all of these usually arrogant old men were completely captivated by Chaochao's charm, Old Master Huo felt honored.
My granddaughter, your grandson, they are different!
Because of Chaochao, Huo Qin's father rose in status, and even the old master Huo found this brat much more agreeable.
During the meal, she even kindly picked up a piece of food for Huo Qin, though it wasn't much, it was still a small gesture.
Huo Qin: "?"
During the few days that Chaochao accompanied the old man to social events, two major events occurred in B City.
Xie's Real Estate has recently suffered a cash flow crisis, leading to the sale of shares and the removal of its senior management from their positions.
Chang's Enterprises was found to have committed embezzlement, bribery, and tax evasion. The chairman was arrested and imprisoned, and the company was liquidated and went bankrupt.
In just five days, the residents of City B have been sitting on their stools, enjoying the gossip.
I never expected this, I never expected to see these big shots stumble one day.
There are rumors that the Chang family was destroyed by the Huo family because the eldest daughter of the Chang family offended Huo Qin's only daughter at a restaurant.
Huo has not commented on these rumors.
Everyone took it as a tacit agreement.
A clear and sunny afternoon.
The boy stopped writing and answered the phone.
"Yu Ci, was it you?! It was you, wasn't it! You ruined the Chang family, you conspired with Cao Liang to frame my father and send him to jail!"
Chang Yue was hysterical, her tone frantic.
Overnight, her life fell into ruin. She moved out of the villa, was heavily in debt, her mother ran away with someone, and her friends avoided her like the plague, afraid of getting involved. They all thought it was the Huo family who were behind it.
Chang Yue initially thought so too.
As a result, before the police took away the Vice President Cao who had turned himself in and reported the Chang family, he told her with a complicated expression that there was someone else behind it all.
She immediately thought of Yu Ci's whisper in her ear.
"Keep it so we can have a good meal."
Zhengtian Group and the Chang family have always been competitors.
Chang Yue's voice was a mix of laughter and tears, sharp and sarcastic: "Yu Ci, it was you, wasn't it? Your 'phoenix man' father ordered you to do this, didn't he?! You're so shameless, you were kicked out but you still crawled back with your eyes wide open! Ha! You're so despicable! You don't even have the backbone of your mother!"
The boy listened calmly to her insults, his expression unchanged, even when she mentioned his birth mother.
The dappled shadows of the trees fell on his face, appearing ethereal and indistinct, his delicate features half in light and half in shadow, resembling both a compassionate bodhisattva and a lynx from hell.
His silence only fueled Chang Yue's anger. She sneered and said bitterly, "You dare to do it but not admit it? You also harmed Zhang Zhaojing five years ago, didn't you? He kindly adopted you, but you repaid kindness with enmity. Bah, you ingrate! You and your mother are both crazy! Mentally ill!"
The boy listened quietly, his jade-white joints almost transparent in the sunlight.
After a long while, he chuckled softly, his eyes long and delicate, his voice like shattered jade.
"yes."
"I did it."
A soft sound, like an intimate whisper between lovers.
Listen closely, and you'll hear a chilling coldness that cuts to the bone.
Upon hearing this, Chang Yue felt a chill run down her spine and trembled, then her body boiled over: "It really was you! You admitted it! Hahaha!"
Chang Yue laughed uncontrollably for more than a minute before stopping, and said angrily, "Yu Ci, you care a lot about Huo Chaochao's feelings, don't you? If I send this recording to the Huo family, what kind of expression will that little brat make?"
Her laughter carried a sense of vengeful pleasure: "She would never have guessed that the older brother she was protecting, who appeared to be an excellent student, was actually a heinous and disgusting madman!"
When Chang Yue mentioned Chaochao's name, Yu Ci finally reacted.
He said coldly, "You are not worthy to mention her."
dirty.
Chang Yue thought to herself that this little girl was really Yu Ci's weakness. Suppressing her hatred, she said disdainfully, "You should worry about yourself instead."
Yu Ci held the phone in one hand, while the other hand moved swiftly across the keyboard, moving smoothly without any lag.
"Is that so?"
Did she think he was an unsuspecting fool?
Chang Yue seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at her phone's call interface. The record button was grayed out and no matter how she pressed it, there was no response!
Chang Yue opened the audio folder with trembling hands.
All the audio files inside were deleted instantly!
Not a speck of dust remained!
"ah!!!"
Enraged, Chang Yue slammed her phone to the ground, shattering the screen into pieces.
"Madmen! Madmen! They're all madmen!"
Chang Yue was having a breakdown and venting her frustrations.
Yu Ci then picked up his pen again and continued to make annotations in his notebook.
