Chapter 903: 903, a bottle of wine for the driver, two lines of tears from loved ones
Shi Huan was feeling a little touched…
“But on the wedding night,” Chu Xiuhuang pressed down again, whispering a few words in her ear.
Shi Huan: “…”
Terrified!
Especially when she met someone’s blood-red gaze…
Shi Huan could almost imagine that on her wedding night, she would be devoured to the point that not even her bones would be left…
Chu Xiuhuang let out a smug, low chuckle at the sight of her speechlessness and blushing face.
Just then, with a “ding”, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
Several people were standing in the corridor outside, men, women, old, and young.
Shi Huan’s face turned red, and she hurriedly reached out to push the man away.
But Chu Xiuhuang’s body still pressed in front of her, refusing to leave, and what’s more, he turned his face, arching his eyebrows wickedly.
That look was extremely provocative.
Even though he didn’t speak, it seemed like the others understood something, and one young man even reached out to press the elevator button.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Shi Huan closed her eyes.
It was really…
So embarrassing!
But the next second.
Chu Xiuhuang lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely once more.

While passion flared on this side, the phone in the hospital room had already been ringing.
Su Wanwan glanced at the caller ID and hastily answered, “Grandma.”
As expected.
“Wanwan, where have you gone? And why can’t I get through to Ashen’s phone?”
Su Wanwan said, “Grandma, I’m at the hospital…”
“What? Hospital? What happened? Are you hurt? Or is Ashen hurt?” A barrage of questions came pouring out.
Su Wanwan explained, “It’s not me, it’s… Grandma, don’t panic…”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Huo Jingshen simply reached out his hand.
Su Wanwan: “…”
The phone was taken by him.
“Grandma, it’s me,” Huo Jingshen spoke evenly, “Wanwan and I are both fine. Don’t worry, we’ll be back for dinner soon.”
“…”
“Yes, don’t worry, we’ll be home in half an hour.”
Indeed, the grandson’s promise was the most effective.
Huo Jingshen quickly hung up the phone and handed it back to Su Wanwan.
He rolled down his shirt sleeves, but the gauze on his forehead was a bit unconcealable…
“Let’s just go like this, and head home.”
Ji Jie stepped forward at this time, “Mr. Huo, your phone.”
After Huo Jingshen took it.
“Mr. Huo, how should we deal with Miss Dong?”
“Call her bodyguard.”
“Alright, I understand.”
…
Finally.
All the unnecessary people had left.
Nangong Ci had also said that he could be discharged.
But Su Wanwan was not at ease until she had seen all the X-rays and medical reports and had consulted the doctor again to ensure there were no other internal injuries. Only then did she truly relax.
“Mrs. Huo, since there is no problem, Mr. Huo can be discharged. Please come with me to complete the discharge procedures,” said the orderly.
Huo Jingshen was about to get up when a pair of small hands pressed down on his shoulders.
The young girl solemnly said, “You sit here and rest well, I’ll go and handle the discharge procedures.”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “I’ll go with you.”
“No. Didn’t you hear what the doctor just said? You hit your head on the car window, and to avoid possible complications like concussion, and to ensure the wound heals quickly, you must rest well for the next few days.” Having said that, Su Wanwan picked up various doctor’s reports from the table, “Doctor, I’ll go with you to complete the discharge procedures.”
“Alright.”
Huo Jingshen sat there watching Su Wanwan leave with the doctor.
The young girl was still dressed as she was when he left in the morning, a white printed T-shirt, with a yellow patterned midi skirt, and her dark curly hair was tied up in a fluffy bun.
Already looking youthful, with such a vibrant outfit…
No wonder the nurse was surprised by her call of “husband” earlier, after all, with his shirt and trousers and tie, he didn’t look like the type of man who would marry a young girl like Su Wanwan.
Then he thought about what Su Wanwan had just said.
“If something happens to you, what would I do alone in the future…”
Huo Jingshen’s thin lips curved up, the smile on his face deepening by the moment.
**
Su Wanwan quickly finished paying and came back, only to find Huo Jingshen on a phone call.
“I’m not seriously injured, but her condition is quite severe.”
“…”
“Not pressing charges against her is already showing leniency.”
“…”
Once Huo Jingshen finished the call, Su Wanwan asked him, “Was that from the Dong family?”
Huo Jingshen’s tone was even, “No.”
“Then who was it?”
Huo Jingshen looked at her, seeming somewhat hesitant.
Su Wanwan was surprised.
“It was your mother who called.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“She was afraid you were frightened, so she asked me to comfort you properly,” Huo Jingshen added.
Su Wanwan directly turned her face away, “Right, how are we going home? Can your car still be driven?”
Seeing her change the subject, Huo Jingshen slightly raised his eyebrows, then said, “Let the chauffeur drive us.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
**
10 minutes later.
Reduced to being merely a tool again, Nangong Ci came to the garage with a pained expression.
Poor guy.
He couldn’t compete with the fourth brother as the child pinned beneath the bed, and just as he was informed by Chu Xiuhuang over the phone that he wasn’t wanted as a groomsman anymore, the reason being Lu Chenyu didn’t want to walk with him alone?!
And what was that… the sight of two men in groomsman attire walking together was too disgusting?!
Ci’ao!
He hadn’t even complained about Lu Chenyu being gay yet, and that damned gay man had the nerve to dislike him first?
Before he could call the fourth brother to question him, the eldest brother asked him to act as a chauffeur and take him and Su Wanwan back to the military compound for dinner….
“You don’t need to come in later,” Huo Jingshen suddenly spoke up midway.
Nangong Ci looked surprised in the rear-view mirror, “Big brother, I didn’t say I wanted to come in!”
“Mm.” Huo Jingshen nodded, “With such a gloomy face, it’s too inauspicious. It’s good that you’re aware.”
Nangong Ci: “…”
Ci’ao.
Not only was he treated like a tool, but he wasn’t even allowed to be sad?
Was he supposed to cheerfully drive them home?
…
So they arrived at the Huo Family’s old mansion.
As soon as the car stopped.
Huo Jingshen got out immediately, taking Su Wanwan with him and walking away.
Nangong Ci sat in the driver’s seat, his fingers cracking as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Watching the backs of that model couple, especially smelling the rich scent of food wafting from the villa…
He hadn’t had dinner yet…
Didn’t anyone feel sorry for him?
So miserable and pitiful!
**
Seeing the gauze stuck to Huo Jingshen’s forehead, the old Madam Huo was naturally startled.
Although the old Master Huo appeared more composed, he couldn’t help but inquire about the reason.
Huo Jingshen simply said there had been a minor car accident, and it was nothing serious.
And, seeing Su Wanwan’s swollen eyes, the old Madam Huo earnestly advised, “Ashen, you’re not alone now. You must be very careful when driving outside, and don’t always make Wanwan worry. What’s that saying? For a driver a bottle of wine, for loved ones two lines of tears!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
The others also: “…”
What does this have to do with drinking?!
…
After dinner, the driver soon came to pick them up.
The old Madam Huo was still worried, but Huo Jingshen clearly didn’t want to linger in the old house.
Concern from elders always comes with nagging.
Su Wanwan quickly expressed, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I will take good care of him.”
“How can you, a young lady, take care of him?” the old Madam Huo clicked her tongue, “He should be the one taking care of you.”
After that, she called over a servant, “I really can’t rest easy, Axiu, you follow them back. Stay there for the next few days and make sure to cook some good food for Ashen to replenish his health.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Su Wanwan also: “…”
Why does it feel like there’s some kind of bad premonition?
The housekeeper, Aunt Xiuhuang, said, “Don’t worry, old Madam, I will certainly take good care of the young master.”
“Mm.” The old Madam Huo nodded, satisfied.
**
After Axiu left with the couple, carrying big and small packages…
The old Madam Huo happily approached her spouse, “That’s great! Now I can rest easy. Each time they leave, I worry, but now I’m relieved, Axiu brought all the tonics I bought…”
“What tonics?” the old Master Huo unnecessarily asked.
“Just those I prepared for Ashen, soft-shelled turtle essence, sea cucumber, bull whip, and the cordyceps with sheep’s tail…”
Old Master Huo: “…”
Cough cough cough.
This little old lady, her grandson is injured and she still doesn’t forget to replenish his kidneys?
Really causing trouble…
At the moment, someone troubled by this sat in the car, speaking in a diplomatic tone, “Aunt Xiuhuang, actually, I have a servant at my place.”
Aunt Xiuhuang laughed, “That’s perfect, young master. The maid there can take a break for a few days, leave everything to me!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Aunt Xiuhuang had been an old servant of the Huo Family, brought over as part of the old Madam Huo’s dowry, and had served for decades, essentially witnessing his growth.
Holding back, Huo Jingshen ultimately did not make a scene.
**
30 minutes later, Imperial Court villa.
The group entered the living room carrying the big and small packages.
Yan Shunhua looked up at the sound and immediately stood up, “Wanwan, you’re back.”
Su Wanwan immediately averted her gaze.
Yan Shunhua: “…”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “Did you come from the film and television city?”
Yan Shunhua did not deny it, “The phone call earlier wasn’t very clear, and I was really worried, so I drove over immediately.”
From the film and television city to here would take at least two hours, counting the time, he must have come straight here after the call.
Su Wanwan looked down, placed the object she was holding on the table, and still did not speak.
“Wanwan.” Yan Shunhua took a step forward, his tone caring, “Were you scared by Ashen just now?”
“Aunt Xiu.” Su Wanwan turned around, “Let me help you take the things into the kitchen.”
Aunt Xiu, who was curiously observing Yan Shunhua, heard this and hurriedly withdrew her gaze, “Okay.”
The two of them entered the kitchen one after the other.
Yan Shunhua stood there, his gaze following Su Wanwan’s figure, his nose feeling sour, and his eyes beginning to redden slightly.
“Don’t mind it.” Huo Jingshen seemed to be explaining, “She was a bit scared just now, probably not in the mood.”
Yan Shunhua asked him, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, just some minor injuries.”
Despite what he said, Yan Shunhua’s brows were tightly furrowed, “Just now, he called me.”
For this news, however, Huo Jingshen showed not the slightest surprise, “Is that so?”
Dong Manjiao had an accident in Nancheng, and the situation was so serious; it was only a matter of time before Dong Yisen would find out.
“He asked me about the cause of the accident, and I could only say I was not clear, but I don’t know how Dong Manjiao will explain it to him. So, I plan to visit her at the hospital later.”
“Mm.” Huo Jingshen did not express any opinion.
Seeing the man’s aloof demeanor, Yan Shunhua spoke again, “I didn’t expect her to take such extreme measures. For the time being, just keep Wanwan from going out. I’m very worried about her safety.”
“Rest assured.” Huo Jingshen said, “Recently, she has a personal driver for all her commutes.”
Since there were people he arranged to protect her, it was naturally reassuring.
Yan Shunhua also breathed a sigh of relief, “Then I’ll head back first.”
“Okay.”
**
After Yan Shunhua left, he headed straight towards the next door.
His phone rang once along the way.
He picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.
It was a message from Su Yuntang.
[When are you free recently?]
Yan Shunhua did not reply.
In fact, Su Yuntang had sent messages like this several times in the last few days.
After all, the less she said, the more anxious he became to investigate.
Soon, the second WeChat message from Su Yuntang arrived: [About the matter back then, I would like to hear your personal explanation.]
Checking the time.
It was seven o’clock in the evening.
At this time, Su Yuntang should have returned home and just finished dinner.
Yan Shunhua’s brows tightened, and she suddenly called back.
As expected, after a few rings, the call was disconnected by the person on the other end.
Yan Shunhua’s expression remained unchanged, she put down her phone, and entered the gate of the villa next door.
**
Meanwhile at the Su family villa.
“Yuntang?” Jiang Yi looked at Su Yuntang, “Why not answer the phone?”
They had already finished dinner.
These days Su Yuntang had been keeping to a nine-to-five schedule, and he rarely went out in the evenings, usually just watching TV with her or reading by himself.
Although he occasionally zoned out, because he was “overall behaving well,” Jiang Yi knew well that in marriage, some things should not be taken too seriously.
So for the past week, things between them had been calm.
At the moment, Su Yuntang put down his phone, “It was an advertising scam call.”
After saying so, without waiting for Jiang Yi to react, he stood up, “I’m going to my study to handle some emails.”
“Okay.”
Once Su Yuntang stepped into the villa, Jiang Yi’s face suddenly fell.
Although it was less than 10 minutes before the man came out of the study again.
“There’s a news conference at the station tomorrow, it’s getting late, I’ll go upstairs to shower.”
Jiang Yi had just stood up.
“Oh, by the way,” Su Yuntang suddenly asked her, “where is Yanyan?”
“She said a friend has a birthday tonight, so she went out earlier.”
“What’s the decency of a girl always running outside at night!”
Jiang Yi explained, “Yanyan rarely comes home for the summer break; her friends are always so…”
“If she were a boy, I wouldn’t interfere. But she’s a girl, she needs to learn self-respect and self-love! You as her mother need to know how to discipline and restrain her, you can’t let her wander outside like this late at night! Call her right now, tell her to come back immediately!”
Su Yuntang spoke sternly, and Jiang Yi could only agree, taking out her phone and dialing Su Yanyan’s number.
**
At a nightclub downtown.
The evening’s festivities were just starting, and in the dance floor’s colorful strobe lights, Su Yanyan wore a red camisole and denim shorts, wildly moving her body.
That was until her arm was grabbed by her friend Sun Qingyu, “Yanyan! Your mom is calling, telling you to go back right away!”
Su Wanwan irritably shook off the hold, shouting loudly, “I’m not done having fun yet!”
“Your mom kept calling, I had to answer; she sounded really anxious. Maybe… you could give her a call back?”
“Call back for what? I’m 19 years old, not a little kid anymore.” Su Yanyan sounded very impatient.
In H Country, where she couldn’t speak the language and the academic pressure was high, her half-year of study abroad didn’t result in making many friends.
So now, soon as she was back, she was like an untamed wild horse, thoroughly enjoying her playtime these days.
…
By the time Su Yanyan finally had enough dancing and returned to her seat, breathless, she suddenly realized that an extra man had joined them in their booth.
“Yanyan, come on, greet him.” Sun Qingyu was insistently urging her.
Su Yanyan spoke up, “Huo Zhexi, what are you doing here?”
It was actually Huo Jingshen’s good-for-nothing third brother—Huo Zhexi!
However…
After not seeing him for a long time, he seemed to have changed a lot. Was it because of his office worker attire?
He wore a crisply ironed sky-blue shirt, and his hair was meticulously trimmed. Though his striped tie was loosened and hanging loosely around his chest, he still exuded the vibe of a sharp and efficient white-collar elite.
Adding to that, he was naturally handsome with fair skin, and there was a sense of “the only sober person in a roomful of drunks” about him.
Even upon seeing her, he merely nodded coldly without saying a word and continued to drink his own wine.
“Zhexi, why so aloof?” His friend, who happened to be the birthday boy that day, Fan Xianyi, couldn’t stand it any longer. “You two are practically relatives; being so distant…it’s not proper, is it?”
“Cut the crap.” Huo Zhexi took another gulp of wine. “I’ll leave after finishing this glass.”
“Don’t be like that, man. It’s not often you grace us with your presence. Tell me, how long has it been since we last met? What’s going on with you? Have you really been tamed by your elder brother?”
At those words, Huo Zhexi became displeased, “Who the hell has been tamed?”
“I’ve heard about it. Lately you’ve been working under your brother…”
“What do you mean working under him? I work at my family’s company! It’s my family’s company! Understand!” Huo Zhexi slammed down his glass firmly.
“Right, right, right,” Fan Xianyi hastily agreed, seeing him getting agitated. “After all, you are the Huo Family’s Third Young Master. Your grandfather is so fond of you; he surely wants you to learn the ropes in the company.”
After hearing this, Huo Zhexi’s mood improved significantly, and he clinked his glass with Fan Xianyi’s.
On the other side.
“Yanyan,” Sun Qingyu tugged at her arm. “I heard that Huo Family’s Third Young Master got dumped again recently.”
Feeling bored, Su Yanyan casually joined the conversation, “By whom?”
“By one of the Gu Family’s daughters… what’s her name… Gu Shuhan, I think. She’s quite eligible. They had even set a wedding date, but suddenly, the girl called off the engagement, saying she got back together with her ex-boyfriend.”
In Nancheng, the Sun Family was considered middle-class, on par with the Su Family.
But Sun Qingyu was articulate and well-connected; when it came to the gossip about the wealthy families of Nancheng, she knew her stuff.
“Now, in Nancheng, every large family with an unmarried daughter is practically breaking their necks for an opportunity to connect with the Huo Family. The Huo Family has three grandsons; aside from the eldest who is already married, the other two are highly sought after, especially the Third Young Master…”
Su Yanyan’s tone was nonchalant, “What’s so great about him?”
“You don’t get it, do you? The Huo Family is the richest in Nancheng. Marrying into the Huo Family means you’re set for life, and you’ll enter high society,” Sun Qingyu declared before suddenly asking, “Yanyan, with your assets, why don’t you give it a shot?”
“Try what?”
“Are you dumb?” Sun Qingyu made a face. “Isn’t the man right over there? A chance like this, you really wouldn’t give it a try?”
Su Yanyan glanced over.
In her ear, Sun Qingyu continued her tempting spiel, “Think about it. If you married into the Huo Family, you wouldn’t need to go abroad anymore. What’s the point for a girl to study so much when, in the end, you’ll just get married and have kids? If I had your looks and figure, I would’ve made my move a long time ago.”
Su Yanyan’s gaze flickered.
Her fingers tightened slowly around her glass.
Marry into the Huo Family, huh?
She actually did marry into the Xing Family, the in-laws of the Huo Family, and once, she was the glorious Mrs. Xing.
If only…
It hadn’t been ruined by that bitch, Su Wanwan!
Now, Su Wanwan is the Young Madam of the Huo Family, second to one, above thousands, wielding power and bringing fortune!
Yet she was exiled abroad and only dared to return to Nancheng after a full six months or more.
Su Yanyan looked towards the opposite side again.
Huo Zhexi kept drinking nonstop.
Sun Qingyu leaned over again, “I know you had something with Xing Yuyun before, but compared with the Xing Family, the Huo Family is truly at the apex of the pyramid…”
As she spoke, she handed over a glass filled with blue liquid, “Go on, give it a try, if it really doesn’t work out then forget it.”
As if possessed, Su Yanyan reached out and took the glass, stood up, and walked over, “Third Young Master Huo.”
Fan Xianyi, who was next to Huo Zhexi, hurriedly stood up, “Hey, Miss Su is personally offering a drink, Zhexi, don’t snub the lady’s kindness, let’s have a drink together.”
There were seven or eight young people present, and at this moment, all remained quiet and watched.
Su Yanyan was beautiful and dressed provocatively, and with a birthday friend’s remark like that, everyone thought that Huo Zhexi certainly wouldn’t spurn the beauty’s good intentions.
Who would have known…
“Who the hell are you? To drink with me, do you think you’re worthy?”
Su Yanyan never expected that Huo Zhexi would be so rude and speak in such an offensive manner.
If it weren’t for the dim lights in the corner booth, the red embarrassment on her face couldn’t be hidden at all.
“Third Young Master Huo!” At this point, Sun Qingyu rushed over, with a full smile attempting to smooth things over, “Yanyan didn’t mean that, she saw your drink was almost finished, so she specially ordered this Blue Succubus for you to enjoy.”
“A drink for me?” Huo Zhexi’s sarcasm intensified, “How would I know if there isn’t some aphrodisiac in here? I’ve seen plenty of women like you, who never learn anything useful. Dolling yourselves up like succubi, just trying to find some rich guy or sugar daddy at places like this, hoping to climb up to heaven in one step by sleeping with them and bearing a golden child? Dream on.”
“Young Master Huo, if you don’t want to drink, then fine, but there’s no need to be so hurtful!” Sun Qingyu’s expression changed.
Huo Zhexi sneered, placed the glass down with a “thud,” and turned to leave.
“Zhexi! Zhexi, where are you going?” Fan Xianyi shouted, putting on an act, “Forget it, forget it, Yanyan, don’t be upset. I wouldn’t have called him over if I’d known this would happen. Come on, if he won’t drink, I’ll drink with you.”
Sun Qingyu also tried to console, “Yeah, Yanyan, let it go, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made that suggestion. Let’s just ignore him and drink.”
But how could Su Yanyan swallow such an insult?
Biting her lip, she eventually couldn’t hold back, picked up the glass in her hand, and downed it in one gulp.
…
She didn’t know how long had passed when Su Yanyan opened her eyes.
Seeing the unfamiliar lamp above her head, alarm bells went off in her head.
Before she could react…
The sound of camera clicks, “click,” “click,” resounded.
Su Yanyan turned her head and saw Fan Xianyi standing there completely naked, holding a phone and taking pictures.
“Ah—”
Su Yanyan screamed as she scrambled up only to find she wasn’t wearing anything either.
She hurriedly tried to cover herself, looking for something to hide with, but there was nothing on the bed, so she could only hug her body, trembling, “What happened? What…what are you doing?”
“What happened?” Fan Xianyi continued to take pictures with his phone, “You’re not a virgin, girl, why play the innocent? Don’t you feel it in your own body? Besides, we’ve already done everything, pretending to be shy now is too late.”
Su Yanyan quickly came to a realization, “That drink…it was drugged, wasn’t it?”
“You’re not too dumb.” Fan Xianyi smiled lewdly, “Ever since you came back to the country, I’ve been setting up this game for a whole month, waiting for you. Tonight, I finally got what I wanted.”
“Why would you do this to me?” Su Yanyan had never encountered anything like this, facing both physical pain and the ultimate humiliation, but even more, disbelief, “How did I offend you? Why would you…”
