Chapter 182 When she cried in my arms, you were still at sea.
Lu Yanzhi felt like he was going crazy.
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
He remembered that Yu Yiyang had sent him gossip a few days ago, saying that Huo Yanmo was madly pursuing a mysterious woman.
Yu Yiyang said that the woman also had a child with her.
She is a little girl.
A few days ago, he even saw Huo Yanmo at a Sanrio store.
Huo Yanmo said that the child raised by the woman he liked liked Cinnamorolls.
And what Huo Yanmo said to him...
Looking back now, it all seems to be related to her.
Why?
Why do this!
When exactly did she start having contact with Huo Yanmo?
Was it during the time of "The Voice of Heaven"?
He recalled the words the three members of the Huo family had muttered beside him before, and the look in Huo Yanmo's eyes when he looked at him back then.
All of this... drove him mad.
"Niannian, are you deliberately trying to upset me?" The wound on his hand, which was gripping her shoulder, reopened, and blood stained her shoulder. "Is it because of what happened between Han Wei and me that you..."
Before Lu Yanzhi could finish speaking, he was pulled away by a strong force.
"You!" Lu Yanzhi turned around angrily and saw Huo Yanmo standing in front of Shi Nian.
"Huo Yanmo!"
Lu Yanzhi was almost driven mad with rage after just one glance.
But Huo Yanmo ignored him and looked at Shi Nian, saying, "I noticed you hadn't made a sound for a long time, so I came up to check on you."
Having received no message from her, he circled the area again and spotted Lu Yanzhi's car in the shadows.
Upon seeing the Maybach, he knew what was going on and immediately went upstairs.
"Huo Yanmo, we've always kept to ourselves, you..."
"Niannian, you go back first, I'll handle things here." Huo Yanmo completely ignored the furious Lu Yanzhi and instead stood between her and Lu Yanzhi, protecting her.
Shi Nian glanced at Lu Yanzhi, then at Huo Yanmo.
After seeing Huo Yanmo nod, she turned around, opened the door, and went inside.
She had made herself clear enough to Lu Yanzhi.
Huo Yanmo said he could solve it, and she believed him.
"Bang."
With a soft thud, Shi Nian's door closed in front of Lu Yanzhi.
At this moment, only Lu Yanzhi and Huo Yanmo remained in the corridor.
The two men stared at each other, one calm, the other with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't make a scene here, let's talk in the stairwell next door." Huo Yanmo said, and took the lead in walking towards the stairwell.
Lu Yanzhi's lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes were fixed on Shi Nian's front door, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it.
But he knew she wouldn't open the door.
Moreover, Huo Yanmo, who was not far away, was standing and looking in his direction.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yanzhi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and followed Huo Yanmo into the stairwell.
The green sign for the emergency exit glowed faintly, illuminating the two people facing off.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the man in front of him. He used to regard the man as a business rival. This was the first time he realized that he actually hated him so much.
"What did you all do today?" Lu Yanzhi questioned.
Huo Yanmo chuckled and replied, "A date."
Just those two simple words caused Lu Yan's blood to rush to his head.
Anger, mixed with his blood, surged through his veins, making him almost unable to control himself.
"A date?" he repeated Huo Yanmo's words.
“Yes,” Huo Yanmo said, still smiling. “It’s obvious, it’s spread all over the internet, isn’t it?”
Lu Yanzhi laughed and said, "Huo Yanmo, don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you're up to."
"The Huo family has always been subordinate to the Lu family. Do you think you can defeat the Lu family through such despicable means?"
But Huo Yanmo just smiled and didn't respond.
"Stay away from me, understand?" Lu Yanzhi took a step forward and warned.
But Huo Yanmo simply lowered his eyes slightly.
He didn't look at Lu Yanzhi, his smile unchanged.
He said, "You and Han Wei have eaten out together countless times, and I only had one meal with Shi Nian, and you can't stand it?"
"you!"
Instead of retreating, Huo Yanmo took a step forward.
He looked up at Lu Yanzhi and said, "It's true that I hope the Huo family will prosper, but it's also true that I like Shi Nian."
“I have other ways to defeat the Lu family. I’m not as despicable as you think.”
Lu Yanzhi felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You?" he said sarcastically, "You like Shi Nian?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, I like her." Huo Yanmo's smile turned slightly cold. "I'm not joking, I'm serious."
"I told you that day that I like her, I've liked her for a very long time, day and night, tossing and turning in bed."
"You're not the only one in this world who deserves her."
Huo Yanmo looked into Lu Yanzhi's eyes and said, word by word:
"I saw her good qualities, I like her personality, I admire her way of handling things, and I respect her abilities."
I like everything about her, both the good and the bad.
"Compared to your superficial and perfunctory attitude towards her, I think I understand and respect her more than you do."
The smile on Lu Yanzhi's face slowly disappeared.
He remained silent for a long time, scrutinizing Huo Yanmo in the dim light.
It seemed they wanted to determine whether Huo Yanmo's words were true or false.
Huo Yanmo made no attempt to hide his feelings, calmly meeting Lu Yanzhi's gaze.
The two remained silent for a long time.
"Did she come and ask you to tell me all this?" Lu Yanzhi finally asked.
But all he got in response was a cold laugh from Huo Yanmo.
Finally, Lu Yanzhi seemed to have come to believe that what Huo Yanmo said was true.
“She’s been with me for seven years,” Lu Yanzhi said.
"I know," Huo Yanmo replied calmly.
“We used to have a child.” Lu Yanzhi clenched his fists.
Huo Yanmo narrowed his eyes slightly: "I understand."
Lu Yanzhi's chest heaved violently, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Huo Yanmo.
A surge of malice welled up within him, and he stared at Huo Yanmo, saying, "We've lived together for seven years, day and night. What makes you think you know her better than I do!"
“She is mine. I have seen every side of her. I have seen her more passionately than you have.”
Lu Yanzhi kept talking, one sentence after another, as if this would make Huo Yanmo back down.
"When she was crying in my arms, Huo Yanmo, you were still adrift at sea!"
Huo Yanmo stopped laughing.
The hallway was dimly lit, and the green emergency exit side light made him look dangerous.
He took two steps forward, grabbed Lu Yanzhi by the collar, and slammed Lu Yanzhi against the wall.
"What? You've broken down?" Lu Yanzhi laughed maniacally, his eyes bloodshot, and said, word by word, "She's mine, she'll be mine forever!"
Huo Yanmo looked at Lu Yanzhi, and suddenly, he smiled again, a deep smile, but his eyes were extremely cold.
