Cheng Jianshe's face suddenly darkened.
He never expected that Huo Dongfang would even know about this matter.
"Huo Dongfang, I've already said that Zuo Daming's matter has nothing to do with me!"
Huo Dongfang coldly retorted, "Your wife's mistreatment of Ye Fanxing is none of your business."
"Your two daughters' dominance over the Ye family's courtyard is none of your business."
"Your son Cheng Jian drugged Fanxing for Su Mingyue's sake, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Your son-in-law breaking into the Ye family home with thugs in the middle of the night is none of your business!"
"Cheng Jianshe, are you so blind and deaf that you deserve to sit in your current position?"
Huo Dongfang's questions were like knives, piercing deeply into Cheng Jianshe's heart.
Cheng Jianshe opened his mouth, wanting to explain again.
Huo Dongfang reached out and grabbed Ye Fanxing's wrist, coldly and ruthlessly stopping him: "Cheng Jianshe, stop talking nonsense. You don't need to handle this matter. I'll handle it!"
The Huo family has always been protective of its own.
Ye Fanxing had been bullied like this by Cheng Jianshe's whole family, so how could Huo Dongfang possibly ignore it?
"No need, I'll handle it." Cheng Jianshe had no desire for Huo Dongfang to intervene. If Huo Dongfang did, Cheng Jianshe would truly become the subject of everyone's gossip. "Xingxing, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Huo Dongfang slowly said, "Cheng Jianshe, I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't handle this matter properly, then I will deal with it according to the law."
"I see."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Cheng Jianshe didn't say another word.
Huo Dongfang brought Ye Fanxing, who was quite frightened, back to the Ye family courtyard.
To protect herself, Ye Fanxing spilled vegetable oil all over the bed in her house.
"Uncle Huo, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."
Ye Fanxing hurriedly tidied up the messy room, trying to give Huo Dongfangteng a place to settle down.
Huo Dongfang looked at the vegetable oil and blood on the ground and praised Ye Fanxing, who was frightened.
"Ye Fanxing, you did very well tonight. Your personal safety should always be the top priority."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fanxing looked up gratefully.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars.
Huo Dongfang's heart fluttered at the sight of Ye Fanxing's wholehearted admiration for him.
"Uncle Huo, I'm scared..."
Huo Dongfang comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the bad guys have all been arrested."
Ye Fanxing gave a soft "hmm".
Huo Dongfang raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Ye Fanxing, pack your things and stay at my place tonight."
Ye Fanxing obediently responded.
Huo Dongfang had no choice but to take Ye Fanxing, who had nowhere else to go, to his home. Huo Dongfang lived in a two-story red brick villa in the military compound.
"Ye Fanxing, it's getting late, you should get some rest."
Ye Fanxing stood inside the door and said obediently, "Good night, Uncle Huo."
Huo Dongfang: "Good night."
After Huo Dongfang left, Ye Fanxing sat down on the chair by the window, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and seriously considered what she should do next to better complete the mission.
A reward of 100 million is indeed very generous.
Anyone would be tempted, and Ye Fanxing was no exception.
But……
The difficulty of this task is hellish.
She doesn't have the special spiritual spring space that's unique to female protagonists.
They also lacked advanced medical skills.
How could she help Huo Dongfang, who was suffering from a hidden illness, regain his masculine vigor?
Actually, the most crucial question isn't whether it can be cured or not.
In what capacity did Ye Fanxing request Huo Dongfang's cooperation in treating her illness?
Countless conflicting thoughts swirled in Ye Fanxing's mind.
Completely unable to sleep, she decided to start cleaning the room, maintaining her persona of a "poor little thing" living under someone else's roof.
Ye Fanxing, who has intermittent obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, is practically a born housekeeper.
Huo Dongfang, a man, has lived here for a long time. Although someone cleans for him, he is not as meticulous as Ye Fanxing.
Ye Fanxing cleaned every nook and cranny until they were spotless.
Even when Huo Dongfang, who always had a regular schedule, got up at six o'clock, a delicate and delicious breakfast was already laid out on the dining table.
Good morning, Uncle Huo.
Ye Fanxing greeted Huo Dongfang with a slightly uneasy expression.
Huo Dongfang looked at the spotless living room, then at the steaming bowl of noodles and various delicate side dishes on the dining table, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Ye Fanxing, why are you up so early?"
Ye Fanxing said somewhat timidly, "Uncle Cheng has to eat breakfast at six o'clock every morning, I'm used to it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Dongfang's brows furrowed even more.
Do I have to eat breakfast at six o'clock?
That means I have to get up at five o'clock?
The Cheng family really doesn't treat Ye Fanxing like a "person".
Even farmhands in the old society weren't as miserable as Ye Fanxing.
Seeing Huo Dongfang's gloomy expression, Ye Fanxing carefully explained, "Uncle Huo, I didn't touch or look at your things. I was just putting them away. Also, there weren't any other ingredients at home, so this is all I could make..."
Huo Dongfang took a deep breath and interrupted Ye Fanxing.
"Ye Fanxing, you don't need to do these things with me."
Ye Fanxing looked at Huo Dongfang with slight surprise and murmured, "But... she said the family doesn't support idlers, and that if I don't want to have nowhere to go, I have to work..."
Huo Dongfang deeply regretted that he hadn't been too busy to take care of Ye Fanxing when Ye Heping got into trouble back then.
He should be the one raising Ye Fanxing.
If he were to raise Ye Fanxing, he would never have raised such a pampered princess, who was doted on by Ye Heping, to be so cautious and timid.
"Ye Fanxing, you went to the Cheng family with your father's pension." A fire rose in Huo Dongfang's heart. "That pension is more than enough to support you."
Ye Fanxing stood there, stunned.
Huo Dongfang felt a strange tightness in his chest, so he softened his tone and whispered, "Ye Fanxing, after you've had breakfast, go take a nap. I'll have the guards bring you lunch."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Huo."
Huo Dongfang gave Ye Fanxing a deep look before turning away from her sight.
After having breakfast, Ye Fanxing tidied up the kitchen.
She cleared her mind and took a nap.
Lunchtime arrived, and the guard specially brought lunch for Ye Fanxing.
After having lunch, Ye Fanxing left the military compound, thinking that she should at least make a show of it in front of Huo Dongfang and tidy up the Ye family courtyard.
Unfortunately, before she could even leave the military compound, she ran into Liu Guiying and her daughter Cheng Xiao.
"Ye Fanxing, stop right there!"
"Ye Fanxing, you ungrateful wretch! The Cheng family has raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay them?"
"All these years, our Cheng family has served you the best food and drink, and what? Have we become your enemies?"
"It's because we're kind-hearted that we kept you in the Cheng family even though you're destined to be a lone star!"
"And you've turned my house upside down! I'll fight you to the death!"
