“Just leave her to me. Anyway, I can’t let her harass you like this anymore.”
“Silly boy, what are you talking about? If I want to deal with her, I have ten thousand ways to do it. I haven’t done it because she’s no threat to me. She knows it too, so all she does is toss accusations at me. In fact, Shen Mingxi has more reasons to deal with her.”
“But, Sis…”
“Don’t worry about me. Have your happy life with Jie. You’re such an innocent and sunny boy; how can I allow you to dirty your hands with people like Huo Yanyan?”
“But someone must deal with her.”
Ni Yang was a thoughtful guy who loved Huo Mian as his elder sister, and he always wanted to do something for her, which was why he offered to get rid of Huo Yanyan for Huo Mian.
But he didn’t know that Huo Mian was no longer afraid of Huo Yanyan; Huo Mian even pitied her since she lived in hatred and didn’t have a moment of happiness in her life.
“Yeah. As the saying goes, Heaven will deal with the bad people. So, let’s not worry about it.”
Optimistically, Huo Mian declined Ni Yang’s help and changed the conversation to other topics.
Sipping coffee in the lounge room on the second floor, Zeng Rou heard every word of their conversation through her earbuds.
“Huo Mian is indeed a wise and broad-minded woman… She even brushed Huo Yanyan off as a small nuisance. Hehe. No wonder she has achieved so much.”
It wasn’t Huo Mian’s style to agree to Ni Yang’s suggestion.
She wasn’t a saint and did want to get rid of Huo Yanyan, but she was afraid that Ni Yang would get his life ruined by doing it. It was not a good deal to lose a good guy just to get rid of an unworthy woman.
As smart as Huo Mian was, she’d never agree to that.
At this moment, a deep voice came through the earbud.
“How is it going?”
“Commander, it’s going very well. The bug has been planted; I’m listening to her conversations.”
“We got intelligence that says many people are watching the yacht. Ian and his brother Nalo are crazy guys. You must be careful and be prepared for anything.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Ending the conversation, Zeng Rou remained in her seat, monitoring Huo Mian’s conversations.
Up until now, Huo Mian had done nothing unusual or had any secret talks; in fact, Zeng Rou wished she could talk with Su Yu about his new girlfriend or herself.
But unfortunately, Huo Mian hadn’t talked with Su Yu in private and thus didn’t give her the opportunity to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Just before the show began, a person’s appearance brought a climax to the night’s event.
“Wow. Look! Who’s that?”
“Oh. My goodness. How come she’s back?”
“The media said nothing about it… What a surprise.”
“She’s more beautiful than before. I wonder if she did some micro cosmetic surgeries. She looks more elegant… Her study abroad paid off…”
“Yeah. No one said she’d come back and attend Dr. Huo’s birthday party.”
While they gossiped, they looked toward the elegant and exquisite woman under the spotlight. She was Nie Lingxuan, who had been away from the city for months.
