She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 132 - 0: One Who Commits Injustice Will Ultimately Destroy Himself

Chapter 132: Chapter 0132: One Who Commits Injustice Will Ultimately Destroy Himself

Sheng Xueqian just kept crying and crying, and it wasn’t until the two elders reached the doorstep of room 1808 that they realized something was amiss.

Huo Tingxiao was standing there, with a stern face. Seeing him, Elder Huo couldn’t help but ask,

“Tingxiao, what’s wrong?”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t know how to answer for a moment, and glanced at Sheng Xueqian who was crying sadly.

“Ah, why all this secrecy, this…”

Elder Sheng walked into the room, passed through the living room to the bedroom door, and the scene before him made his head explode!

His most pride-worthy granddaughter was lying disheveled on the bed with the Huo Family’s illegitimate son!

“Xueqin? How could you… how could you do such a thing? How could you let your grandfather down like this?”

Elder Sheng was furious, raising his cane and about to smash it down hard, Huo Tingyang stepped in and protected Sheng Xueqin behind him.

“Old master, if you have to blame someone, blame me, please don’t blame Xueqin.”

“Grandfather, grandfather, please don’t be angry, your health isn’t good, can you afford to be angry?

My sister just had a moment of confusion, she… just was confused for a moment.”

Sheng Xueqian rushed over to grab Elder Sheng and knelt down with a “thump”, afraid he would strike Sheng Xueqin again.

“You all… you all…”

Elder Sheng couldn’t withstand such a blow and fell backwards.

Sheng Xueqian let out a scream.

“Grandfather!”

Meanwhile, Elder Huo was still outside, unaware of what was happening inside, only hearing Sheng Xueqian’s scream. He stepped into the room and was shocked by the scene before him.

“You… how could you be in such a place? And with… the Sheng Family girl?”

Huo Tingyang looked at the shocked Elder Huo and felt a smidgen of pleasure. The two families were close; how would the Huo Family explain now that their illegitimate son was involved with the Sheng Family’s cherished daughter in front of so many onlookers? There are no walls in the world that don’t leak air.

He was curious to see how Elder Huo, who had staunchly refused to acknowledge him as a Huo Family member, would now explain to the Sheng Family!

After a chaotic flurry, Elder Sheng was taken to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xueqin, who was on the bed, slowly came to her senses and shrieked at the situation in front of her.

“Ah!”

Elder Huo’s face turned red, and he quickly turned around.

“You… you get dressed quickly, I’ll be waiting for you in the living room!”

Saying this, he turned and left, closing the bedroom door firmly behind him.

Sheng Xueqin stared at Huo Tingyang as if she had seen a ghost, and then at her own state; she was completely dumbfounded.

How could it be her lying on his bed? Shouldn’t it be Mu Lan?

“Huo Tingyang! Did you set me up?”

Huo Tingyang looked at the furiously angry Sheng Xueqin and caught her falling fist in one grab.

“Keep your voice down. Now, tell me, what do you think the reaction would be if people outside knew that you were originally planning to set Mu Lan and me up?”

“It was you who personally promised me…”

“Oh? Do you have evidence? Or did you record it?”

Sheng Xueqin was stunned, not expecting him to turn the tables on her.

“You… you’re despicable!”

“Compared to you, Miss Sheng, I still have a long way to go.”

Sheng Xueqin trembled with rage, unable to accept this reality. How could it be like this? How could this happen? It should be Mu Lan who was ruined today, why? Why did it become her?

“You couldn’t have done this on your own, so you must have conspired with Mu Lan to set me up, right? Do you think I would just submit? Huo Tingyang, I’m going to accuse you of rape!”

“Oh, go ahead and tell, I’m not scared at all. The real question is whether you, Miss Sheng, and your Sheng Family can afford to lose face like this?”

“You…”

“Moreover, it looks like the fact that you slept with me will soon spread all over Sea City’s high society. Hmm, do you think anyone would still want a woman who has been caught in a room with a man and watched by so many people? Even if you are Sheng Xueqin?”

Huo Tingyang’s words turned Sheng Xueqin’s face instantly pale as paper.

“What the hell do you want?”

“What do I want? Of course, it’s to make a deal with you…”

——–

In the living room, the Huo family patriarch was sitting on the sofa with a stern face, silent.

At this moment, Mu Lan emerged from the emergency staircase into the corridor and was taken aback to see so many people standing at the door.

“Huo Tingxiao, how come you all…”

Huo Tingxiao hadn’t expected Mu Lan to appear from the emergency staircase.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine… Someone at the banquet gave me a note saying they knew the truth about my dad’s death and asked me to come to room 1808 alone within ten minutes, so I…”

“You walked into a trap? Do you realize how dangerous that was?!”

Huo Tingxiao was truly anxious. As astute as he was, he could tell that Mu Lan was supposed to be the main target of this plot. However, something had gone wrong along the way, and it turned out to involve Sheng Xueqin instead.

“Sorry, I really wasn’t thinking clearly then. I was actually planning to knock on the door, but then…”

“Then what?”

“Then promise you won’t get angry with me.”

“Okay.”

“The senior suddenly pulled me into the emergency staircase and started talking nonsense, saying that he heard Sheng Xueqin was setting a trap for me, and then…”

“He wasn’t wrong.”

Huo Tingxiao hadn’t expected Lin Yize to be the one who came to Mu Lan’s rescue, which left him quite displeased.

Despite his displeasure, relief was the dominant emotion. He was thankful that Mu Lan was safe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to forgive himself for not protecting her properly.

He hugged her tightly, not caring about how many people were watching. Feeling her solid warmth in his arms, he could finally let go of his worries.

Mu Lan, feeling embarrassed, pushed Huo Tingxiao a little.

“There are so many people here, control yourself.”

But Huo Tingxiao, as if he hadn’t heard her, truly felt like he had survived a catastrophe. He even thought that if Mu Lan had really been mistreated by Huo Tingyang, he’d be willing to risk going to jail to get revenge on him.

“I’m so glad you’re alright.”

“Alright, alright, I’m really fine. So… why are you standing outside room 1808? What happened?”

“Sheng Xueqin and Huo Tingyang slept together.”

This statement was too straightforward, ringing loudly in Mu Lan’s head.

When she comprehended its true meaning, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock.

So, the trap Sheng Xueqin had prepared earlier was to lure her over and trap her with Huo Tingyang… Such a vicious woman!

Thankfully, the senior saved her just in time. Otherwise… Mu Lan shuddered at the thought of what could have happened.

“So, what do we do now to clean up this mess?”

“The Sheng family’s old patriarch was so angry he ended up in the hospital. Grandpa is waiting for them in the living room. Let’s go in too. With such a big drama unfolding, we have to watch them play it out to the end.”

With that, he took Mu Lan’s hand and entered.

Mu Lan thought to herself, Huo Tingxiao was being too scheming. Knowing that this was a situation where Sheng Xueqin got hoisted by her own petard, he still wanted to add fuel to the fire.

Having been seen like this by the man she admired, proud as Sheng Xueqin was, Mu Lan could hardly imagine what she was feeling. Mu Lan had not a shred of sympathy, thinking to herself that those who did evil would eventually dig their own graves.
