Chapter 167: Twists and turns, ultimately a joke



Upon hearing this, Su Wantang would have loved to applaud Lu Huai'an, had it not been for the inopportune moment.

That's awesome!

Upon hearing Lu Huai'an's voice, Huo Jun knew it was all over and he couldn't hide it any longer, but he didn't expect Lu Huai'an to be so ruthless.

Her eyes, filled with hatred, were fixed on Lu Huai'an, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.

Lu Huai'an frowned slightly, turned slightly to the side, and shielded Su Wantang from Huo Jun's sinister gaze.

Liu Cuicui was stunned for a moment, a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart, but it was quickly suppressed by a sense of superiority.

Lu Huai'an, you looked down on me in your past life, so in this life you'll be bowing and scraping to me!

She continued, "Uncle, I didn't want to say this, but if I don't, my unborn son will be killed."

Huo Jun's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him.

The next second, everything went black before his eyes, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

“My mother-in-law, who is also Huo’s mother, drugged me to kill me in order to find Huo a wife of equal social standing. If I hadn’t been lucky, I and the child in my womb would not be meeting you today.”

Song Wanying then ran over, knelt down, and said loudly, "If I hadn't felt sorry for my niece and gone to the brigade to see her, I wouldn't have known about this."

"Chief Huo, you must do justice for my niece! That old hag not only killed Cuicui, but also swindled me out of several hundred yuan!"

Huo Qing was caught off guard by the series of sudden changes. He finally found his voice but didn't know what to say.

Although Huo Qing only heard bits and pieces, he roughly understood the situation. It seemed that his third sister-in-law had planned to harm Liu Cuicui for Huo Jun's career advancement, but unexpectedly, Liu Cuicui's pregnancy proved successful, and she was declared dead and imprisoned.

But for some reason, Liu Cuicui ran out.

He glanced at Huo Jun and saw Huo Jun sitting on the ground, his face ashen, and he couldn't help but frown.

He was unaware of this matter and instead of trying to resolve it, he acted as if the sky had fallen, which truly disappointed Huo Qing.

Jun'er is no match for Zhan'er after all...

Then, thinking of how Huo Jun had been away for many years, Huo Qing felt a little more forgiving.

He said in a deep voice, "Get up first!"

"Uncle, if you don't stand up for us, my daughter and I won't dare to get up." Liu Cuicui wasn't going to get up easily after not getting the result she wanted.

Huo Qing's brow twitched again. He glanced coldly at Huo Xiaoyan, who was already slumped on the ground, his eyes filled with reproach. How could he have agreed to let such a stupid wife into the family? Jun'er was young and foolish, but she was old and didn't know what was important?

"Get up first. I will give you an explanation for this today." Huo Qing's tone was displeased.

Before Liu Cuicui could say anything more, Song Wanying pulled her to her feet and gave her a wink, as if to say, 'With so many people around, there's bound to be some discussion. Don't put your uncle in a difficult position and invite unnecessary dislike.'

"I'm so sorry everyone, I've made a fool of myself in front of you all today," Huo Qing apologized to everyone first.

"Not at all, Chief Huo, you're too kind."

He continued, "Xixi, this matter... is a twist of fate... My Huo family is sorry for you. I will personally visit you with Jun'er another day to apologize."

He turned to Sun Lei and said, "Sun Lei, let's just call off the engagement banquet between our two families."

Having been struck by lightning several times, Sun Qian screamed when she heard, "The engagement banquet is just going to be called off like this."

"I disagree! I would rather die than agree!" Sun Qian bit her lips until they bled, her eyes bloodshot and terrifying.

She's given herself to Huo Jun, who else would she marry if not him?

"She's Huo Jun's wife, and I'm Huo Jun's legitimate girlfriend. Why should I give in? I'm not willing!" Sun Qian roared.

Huo Qing gave Sun Lei a look. Sun Lei was cursing Huo Jun to death in his heart. He couldn't even clean up the mess properly, but he had no choice but to step forward and grab Sun Qian's arm.

"Sisi, stop fooling around. You and... are ultimately just not meant to be."

"Dad!" Sun Qian stomped her foot in anger.

"Xixi!" Sun Lei tightened his grip, his tone becoming more forceful and leaving no room for argument.

"Huo Jun!" Sun Qian called out again.

Seeing Huo Jun dressed like a quail, she finally shut up unwillingly under Sun Lei's glare, but her eyes were fixed on Liu Cuicui and Huo Jun, wishing she could rush up and beat them up.

They're really making a fool of her!

Seeing this, Huo Qingchong nodded to Sun Lei, pulled Huo Jun up from the ground, and said in a low voice, "Stand still."

"It was all a misunderstanding. The engagement banquet is over. Today is just a family recognition banquet."

Everyone was very kind and congratulated him.

"Congratulations to Chief Huo on finding his long-lost nephew and reuniting the family."

"Chief Huo, we have a great occasion to celebrate today, so please have a few more drinks."

Just as the atmosphere was about to liven up again, Liu Cuicui's persistent voice seemed particularly abrupt.

"Uncle, aren't you going to stand up for me and the child?"

Huo Qing was about to curse. Did he think he could easily resolve this mess? "Don't wash your dirty linen in public!" Hadn't they heard that?

Before he could say anything, Song Wanying chimed in, "Cuicui, don't be afraid. No one will stand up for you, but your aunt will. Your aunt has called the police, and the officers will be here soon."

Su Wantang, who was getting thirsty from watching the commotion and had just taken a sip of water, almost spat it out when she heard these words.

Sending Huo Jun's biological mother in is truly remarkable; this mother and daughter are remarkable individuals.

She didn't even have to put in any effort; she ruined her own path.

But why does it feel so good?

Su Wantang drank a few more sips of water with a happy smile, and the slightly curled ends of her hair straightened out.

She heard Huo Qing exclaim in astonishment, "What?"

Are you so stupid you've got your cerebellum wrapped in a cloth? You're incredibly dumb.

If it weren't for so many people around, and if it weren't for his years of self-control, Huo Qing would have uttered those words.
