Chapter 13 : You Jia's Conspiracy

• I opened my mouth and said desolately, "How could you possibly have a soft spot for me? I was just a toy you got tired of playing with. It's because I didn't handle things well that my brother ended up causing a scene at your company. Considering that we were once husband and wife, please... let him off the hook."
• "Now that you know your own identity, don't challenge my patience here."
• Huo Chengjin threw the umbrella in his hand at my face and continued, "Get out of here right now. If he dares to do it, he must bear the consequences."
• Does Huo Chengjin still refuse to let my brother go?
• I looked at the umbrella thrown in front of me, feeling a tightness in my chest.
• Could it be that Huo Chengjin... is worried about me? Is that why he gave me the umbrella?
• I couldn't help but laugh at my own thoughts. How could Huo Chengjin possibly be worried about me?
• "He caused significant losses to your company, and I will take full responsibility. I can write you an IOU..."
• "Shut up."
• Huo Chengjin suddenly roared at me, and I was scared by his furious expression. I couldn't bring myself to say what I wanted to say.
• The rain grew heavier, hitting my face and causing pain.
• The rainwater choked my throat, making me feel uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but gag.
• As I hunched over, coughing uncomfortably, someone lifted me up in the air. I exclaimed in surprise and saw Huo Chengjin's cold and indifferent face.
• "Huo Chengjin."
• I sniffed the scent on Huo Chengjin's body and couldn't help but call out his name.
• Huo Chengjin said coldly, "Shut up, don't speak."
• I pouted and sulked, leaning against Huo Chengjin's neck.
• How long has it been since I've been this close to him?
• I couldn't remember anymore, it felt like a century.
• Huo Chengjin carried me into the villa and instructed the butler to prepare a clean set of clothes for me. He then took me to the upstairs bathroom and said coldly, "Go take a shower, don't dirty my place."
• "Thank you."
• Although I didn't know why Huo Chengjin was doing this, I still thanked him.
• Huo Chengjin smirked coldly and turned away.
• I took the change of clothes prepared by the butler and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
• The bathroom was even bigger than my room, with a bathtub made of white jade. The level of luxury was indescribable. This was the life of the wealthy.
• I probably won't be able to reach this level in my lifetime.
• After I finished showering, the butler brought me a bowl of ginger soup, saying it was ordered by Huo Chengjin.
• After getting caught in the rain earlier, drinking some ginger soup would be good for both me and the baby in my stomach.
• After finishing the soup, You Jia came in.
• The butler bowed immediately upon seeing You Jia.
• You Jia waved her hand, gesturing for the butler to leave, and walked up to me with a cold and indifferent gaze. "Miss Mu, what a clever move you made with this trick of pretending to be weak."
• You Jia's sarcastic words puzzled me. I clenched my fists and said to You Jia, "I just wanted to ask Mr. Huo to spare my brother."
• "You used your brother, smeared Ah Jin's reputation, and made him the laughingstock of the circle. Miss Mu, do you think you can bear the consequences of this loss?"
• You Jia's sharp words made my whole body tense.
• I opened my mouth, pinching the palm of my hand, and muttered, "I didn't use my brother. I will take care of him from now on."
• "It seems that you haven't taken my lesson to heart."
• Ignoring what I said, You Jia walked closer to me on her slender high heels and reached out to pinch my chin.
• You Jia's action made me uncomfortable. I frowned and avoided her hand, but she retaliated by slapping me.
• "What are you doing?"
• You Jia slapped me for no reason, and I pushed her away in anger.
• Even if she's a rich young lady, she has no right to hit someone without reason.
• "I've said that anyone who touches me, I will make them wish they were dead."
• "Mu Nanyi, I gave you a chance to live, but you insist on choosing the path of death."
• You Jia sneered coldly, narrowed her eyes, and grabbed my hair, pulling my scalp as she slammed me against the wall.
