The originally chaotic and noisy banquet hall fell silent instantly because of Huo Jinning's voice.
Everyone turned to look at her, wondering what had happened.
What was even more unexpected was Song Weiwei's performance.
She ignored Huo Jinning's voice and continued walking out on her own.
Those who had initially held a shred of sympathy and trust in her now began to have doubts.
Their gazes first fell on Huo Jinning, and then they stared intently at Song Weiwei's departing figure.
Seeing this, Huo Jinning became even more anxious and immediately hurried through the crowd to catch up with Song Weiwei.
Fu Qinian reacted quickly, making a phone call to have people outside stop Song Weiwei.
She knew her plan was about to be exposed, and she became increasingly panicked.
When he saw that there were bodyguards waiting at the door, he simply fainted on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.
Things became a bit tricky after Song Weiwei fainted.
And what's most unexpected is that someone was actually live-streaming it, which caused a huge uproar online.
They all condemned the Huo family and Huo Nan, believing that the wealthy were abusing their power.
...Huo Nanchu used to seem alright, but now he's disgusting. He forced the girl to leave and even scared her to the point of fainting.
...I used to quite like Huo Jinning when she was on variety shows, but now...it's disgusting.
...There isn't a single good rich person, especially rich men.
...The Huo family made significant contributions to cultural relic protection recently, and their reputation has always been excellent. Could there be some hidden story behind this?
...Hey netizen above, are you sent by the Huo family to whitewash their image?
...That's true, they came out to whitewash themselves as soon as problems arose.
...It's a pity that the Yue family's daughter ended up with such a person.
...Everyone, boycott the Huo family.
Anyone who spoke up for the Huo family was immediately drowned out by countless insults, and gradually no one dared to speak up anymore; it all turned into negative news.
...
The situation in the banquet hall was not much better than online; at one point, the scene was chaotic.
"Doctor! Quick, get a doctor!"
Suddenly, a terrified scream shattered the silence.
People frantically searched for the doctor.
Zhou Haoran also brought his pregnant wife, Xu Xiaoran, with him today.
At that moment, he witnessed Song Weiwei fainting on the ground.
He immediately instructed his mother to take good care of Xu Xiaoran, and then rushed to Song Weiwei without hesitation to check on her condition.
Those close to the Huo family present all knew that Huo Nanchu had been wronged, but at this moment they found it difficult to explain the truth of the matter.
Huo Nanchu held Yue Yitang's hand tightly, his eyes revealing anxiety and pain: "Tangtang, you must believe me, I have absolutely nothing to do with her. I'm so sorry for making you suffer so much."
Originally, I wanted to create a beautiful and unforgettable memory for you, but I never imagined it would turn out like this.
Yue Yitang gently patted Huo Nanchu's hand and said softly, "It's okay, Anan, I believe in you."
Huo Nanchu slowly turned around to face his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his face full of deep remorse.
He said in a low voice, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm so sorry to have worried you."
Yue Peng quickly waved his hand, indicating that Huo Nanchu didn't need to worry, and then said to him seriously, "Nanchu, we all believe in your character and won't easily doubt you."
However, the fact that something like this happened today is definitely because someone is deliberately targeting you and the Huo family. This may involve some business competition or other conflicts of interest.
You must find a way to handle this problem properly, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for both the company and you.
Yue Yitang chimed in, "Yes, Anan, you'd better be careful."
She held Huo Nanchu's hand tightly, her eyes filled with concern and worry.
Huo Nanchu nodded, indicating that he understood what they meant.
Then she said to Yue Peng, "Uncle, thank you for reminding me. I will be careful. I'll go and take care of this matter now. Could you please look after Tangtang for me?"
After saying that, he gently patted Yue Yitang's head, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
Yue Peng looked at Huo Nanchu, nodded solemnly, and replied firmly, "Yes, okay, don't worry, we'll take care of things here."
Huo Nanchu glanced at Yue Yitang with guilt and then turned to leave.
As soon as Huo Nanchu left, the first thing he did was to have people investigate Song Weiwei's family and social connections.
At the same time, Fu Qinian also ordered his men to launch an investigation.
"Everyone, spread out a bit and give the patient some fresh air," Zhou Haoran said, squeezing through the crowd.
People retreated, but not too far away, still with the intention of watching the spectacle.
Of course, the Huo family did not drive them away. After all, this matter needed to be resolved in front of everyone so that the truth could come out, rather than issuing a written statement later and making outsiders suspect that there might be something wrong with it.
Zhou Haoran carefully examined Song Weiwei's physical condition and quickly discovered something amiss.
He discovered that although Song Weiwei appeared to have fainted, her eyes were actually trembling slightly and her heart was beating faster than normal, clearly indicating that she was faking it.
Just then, law enforcement officers finally arrived at the scene.
However, faced with this chaotic situation, they also felt somewhat helpless.
On one side were the Huo family members who had called the police, and on the other side was Song Weiwei lying on the ground, surrounded by an agitated crowd, making it difficult for them to determine what had happened.
Finally, Wang Bin explained the whole story to the law enforcement officers.
“Miss Song, your child…” Zhou Haoran said hesitantly.
He saw that even though Song Weiwei was pretending to faint, she was still protecting her belly, so he knew that the child was very important to her. Therefore, he pretended to be worried and hesitated before speaking.
Zhou Haoran knew that if he said Song Weiwei was faking fainting, firstly, she wouldn't wake up on her own, and secondly, no one would believe him, so he had to use some tricks.
"My baby, what's wrong with my baby?" Song Weiwei sat up abruptly, clutching her stomach with both hands, and said anxiously.
Her eyes were filled with fear and worry, as if she were about to lose her child at any moment.
Looking at her, Zhou Haoran felt a pang of guilt, but he quickly suppressed it.
"...Huh, he's awake."
"...Could she be faking it?"
"...Looks like there's a twist?"
"...What kind of reversal could there be? She just fainted, but she's fine now."
"...Don't try to whitewash Huo Nanchu."
"...Have they no shame? What woman would blame someone else for her unborn child? DNA is useless these days! A bunch of brainless people."
