Chapter 147 Why are you speaking up for her like this? Does it mean you like her?
Lu Yanzhi instantly became alert, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he coldly stared at Huo Yanmo.
"Yes, brother, stop him quickly!" Huo Erxiao ran over from behind.
Following behind was Huo Junhui.
Huo Yanmo still maintained his refined and scholarly demeanor.
"Say what you want to say to her here, don't bully her." Huo Yanmo was still smiling, but there was a warning in his smile.
Lu Yanzhi paused slightly, then shifted his gaze from Huo Yanmo's face to Shi Nian, his eyes questioning.
"Don't think of me and her in such a dirty way," Huo Yanmo said bluntly. "I just really admire Yining."
"Me too!" Huo Er also stood up and said, "I've been a fan of celebrities for a long time, everyone knows that!"
Huo Junhui nodded as well.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Just then—
"Brother Yanzhi, you guys..." Han Wei looked pitiful, about to say something.
"Shut up!" Fu Jinyan was annoyed and snapped, "I've never seen such a two-faced person as you!"
"Fu Jinyan!" Lu Yanzhi immediately stopped Fu Jinyan, his brows furrowed as if issuing a warning.
"Why did you call me?" Fu Jinyan was also angry. "You divorced Shi Nian for something like this, you..."
“It’s my fault,” Han Wei said immediately, crying. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t know Yining was…”
"You!" Fu Jinyan was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Han Wei, so he could only sulk.
“Speak properly, stop crying,” Huo Junhui said. “Didn’t President Lu have something to say to Shi Nian just now? Perfect, we’ll be the witnesses, so no one gets wronged.”
All of this happened within a minute. Soon after, a fierce argument broke out, attracting the attention of others.
Shi Nian felt a headache coming on.
She looked at Lu Yanzhi: "Just like they said, say what you have to say."
A moment of sadness flickered in Lu Yanzhi's eyes.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but when his gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, he swallowed his words.
There was a silence of about three seconds.
Shi Nian just watched him quietly.
"Niannian, let's schedule a time to talk alone, okay?" Lu Yanzhi asked sadly at the end.
Shi Nian looked at him with pity.
“No,” she said.
Then, she looked away and said, "I just finished performing and I'm a little tired. I need to rest."
Shi Nian turned to the three members of the Huo family and thanked them politely with a smile.
Then he said to Fu Jinyan and Xiao Qing, who were standing to the side, "Let's go, I'm a little thirsty."
Throughout the entire process, he did not glance at Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei even once.
Fu Jinyan understood what Shi Nian meant and said to her, "There is water prepared in the lounge, let's go."
Shi Nian nodded.
It wasn't until the group reached the steps and were almost within the camera's field of view that Lu Yanzhi turned around, looking sadly at Shi Nian's thin back.
"Niannian," he called Shi Nian again.
But Shi Nian didn't turn back.
With Xiao Qing's help, she dragged her performance costume and disappeared around the corner.
Here, only the three members of the Huo family, Lu Yanzhi, and Han Wei remained.
Huo Er and Huo Junhui were discussing what to eat later, while Huo Yanmo listened as usual. The three of them chatted as they walked outside.
Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the spot where Shi Nian had just stood, where the traces of her performance costume cast still remained.
Han Wei witnessed all of this, and she was so angry she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder.
However, she couldn't show it yet, and just said with a puzzled look, "I really didn't expect that Yining is Shi Nian."
She said meaningfully, "Didn't they say during the first live broadcast that she was injured ten days ago and couldn't come to the rehearsal?"
Lu Yanzhi still didn't look at her.
Meanwhile, Huo Er, who hadn't yet walked out, suddenly turned around and said with an "innocent" look, "I heard she really got hurt."
"I heard he rolled down the stairs," Huo Er said, seemingly gossiping. "He's quite badly injured; I heard he can't even get out of bed."
Huo Er said sarcastically, "I wonder who did it."
Lu Yanzhi stared at the plaster marks on the ground, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"Sister, you're a woman. Tell me, what would you do if you encountered this situation?" Huo Er continued to make sarcastic remarks, even asking Huo Junhui next to him.
Huo Junhui and Huo Er chimed in, "What can we do? Our hearts are dead, we have to live well now."
Huo Er nodded seriously.
Han Wei was furious, but she held back for the sake of her public image.
She looked innocent and wanted to say something, but Huo Er immediately shut her up.
“The medical record that Fu Jinyan gave us back then was definitely fake. You know what happened to Shi Nian ten days ago, but her injuries are real.”
"I think anyone with eyes could clearly see what Yining's physical condition was like in the previous periods."
Han Wei finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Second Young Master, why are you speaking up for her like this? Does it mean you like her?"
Huo Er seemed to have heard a joke.
"I just like her, what's the problem?" he said matter-of-factly. "Didn't everyone already know I'm a fan of celebrities?"
Huo Er looked extremely surprised.
Am I not making it obvious enough?
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and went to eat something delicious with his older brother and sister.
Only Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei remained.
They remained silent for a long time.
On the other side, the three members of the Huo family had already come out. Huo Er looked at his older brother and asked for praise, "Brother, how did I do!"
Huo Yanmo smiled and nodded: "It's alright."
"Then you can give me less work this month, I'm so tired," Huo Zhiyao bargained.
Huo Yanmo gave him a smile.
Huo Zhiyao immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"Okay, okay..." Huo Er pleaded, looking helpless. "Brother, why don't you help her yourself? You always use me as a shield."
As the group walked out of the venue and got into the car, Huo Yanmo said, "She hasn't agreed yet. I need to consider her wishes. Forcing her to announce her feelings to everyone would be a burden on her."
Therefore, it is very important to strike a balance.
Using Huo Zhiyao's idol worship as an excuse, at least she wouldn't be offended.
She has always been dedicated to her work.
"Oh..." Huo Er seemed to understand but not quite.
...
On the other side, Shi Nian and the others had already sat down in the lounge.
At this moment, their small group chat was very lively.
Under Qiqian's leadership, they have launched a general offensive.
Previously, some people suspected that Yining and Shi Nian might be collaborating.
However, after the plaster mask was removed and Shi Nian gave a wonderful performance, no one doubted this anymore.
Yining is Shinian, and Shinian is Yining, without a doubt.
Then the issue of fraudulent donations came up.
Shi Nian certainly didn't commit fraud in his donations, but that's where the problem arises—
"Since Lu Yanzhi donated his and Shi Nian's joint marital property, then isn't Han Wei the one who didn't contribute a single penny?"
