Chapter 80: The Affair Scandal

Chapter 80: The Affair Scandal

Unable to embarrass Yun Mu tonight, Si Mohan felt extremely frustrated.

After returning home, he logged into the game and started wreaking havoc, venting his anger.

His gaming friends teased him, "Oh, is this how you play when you're heartbroken?"

Si Mohan snapped, "F*ck off! Just fight!"

At that moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door, "Young Master, the Old Madam has arrived."

Si Mohan was startled and quickly turned off the computer, obediently bowing his head as he stood by the door to greet his grandmother.

"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping so late?" Si Mohan asked with a guilty smile.

The Old Madam of the Si family snorted coldly and closed the door with her cane.

Si Mohan shuddered instantly, looking at the Old Madam in fear.

"Gr... Grandma, I haven't caused any trouble recently..."

The Old Madam snorted again. "No trouble? Do you really think I don't know about all the nonsense you've been up to at school? I told you to take Yun Mu as an example and learn from her, find a chance to pull her into the Art Association, but you've repeatedly caused her trouble! Are you trying to drive me to my grave?"

As she spoke, the Old Madam's cane struck Si Mohan's buttocks.

"Grandma, that girl is just a half-hearted amateur, not nearly as impressive as you say... Ah..."

The Old Madam struck him again with her cane. "She's a master who hides her talents and achievements. If it weren't for you, my little rascal, being no good at painting since childhood, would I be unable to find a successor?"

The more the Old Madam spoke, the angrier she became, and she gave Si Mohan a thorough beating.

The servants outside had long grown accustomed to the shouting inside.

"If you dare cause Yun Mu any more trouble, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed for three months, do you hear me?"

Si Mohan cowered against the wall, pitiful and wretched, trembling in fear. "I... I heard."

The Old Madam snorted and slammed the door shut as she left.

"Yun Mu, just wait."

...

The next morning, Yun Shuiyao went to the hospital discreetly wearing sunglasses.

With Huo Jinzhou already suspicious about the fire, she had to eliminate all potential risks and couldn't let Yun Mu find any clues.

Otherwise, she would face eternal damnation!

Through the glass door, Yun Shuiyao immediately recognized the old woman inside as Zhang Ma from the Yun family back then.

A cold murderous intent instantly appeared in Yun Shuiyao's beautiful eyes.

"Miss Yun, I have confirmed that this old lady has been intermittently unconscious for several days now, and I'm afraid she won't last much longer," said a doctor bought by Yun Shuiyao beside her.

Yun Shuiyao narrowed her eyes. "Are you saying she won't live much longer?"

"Yes, these days, she has been conscious very little. She probably won't make it past three days."

Hearing this, a stone in Yun Shuiyao's heart finally settled slightly.

Since that was the case, it saved her the trouble of taking action herself.

She handed a check to the doctor in front of her and instructed coldly, "Keep an eye on this old woman, and tell me immediately if she regains consciousness."

"Yes, Miss Yun, rest assured."

Meanwhile, at Imperial Capital University, Huo Tingying personally drove Yun Mu to the school gate.

But as soon as Yun Mu entered the school, she realized something was amiss. Everyone looked at her with disdain and contempt, and some even began pointing and whispering about her.

This reminded her of the awkward situation she faced when she first entered the school.

Just then, a hot search link popped up on her phone.

Yun Mu clicked on it, and the title was strikingly prominent.

"Shocking Revelation: The Young Lady of the Huo Family Cheats on Her Husband with the President of Emperor Group!"

Below the title was a photo of Huo Tingying presenting Yun Mu with flowers on stage during the school anniversary gala, the lighting dim and the angle suggestive.

There were also several other photos of Yun Mu and Huo Tingying appearing together in various settings.

Yun Mu lightly furrowed her delicate brows and glanced at the comments below.

"This woman is truly not simple. Despite being ugly, she's quite adept at seducing others!"

"I've heard rumors about her complicated relationship with the president of Emperor Group for a while, but due to capital ties, no one dared to expose it before. Now, someone finally can't stand it anymore?"

"I wonder if that sickly young master of the Huo family will be directly angered to death."

"A woman like this is called talented? Entering Imperial Capital University is simply tarnishing the reputation of the school!"

"The Huo family should quickly divorce this promiscuous woman, and the president of Emperor Group should dump this married woman!"

...

The scandal between her and Huo Tingying had always been suppressed by Emperor Group. Apart from a few people in the Imperial Capital elite circle, no one dared to publicly spread the news.

Now, she had even directly trended on the hot search list. It seemed that someone didn't think they were courting death quickly enough and couldn't resist stirring up trouble.

Yun Mu curled her lips, putting down her phone and entering the classroom directly, to the disdainful snorts of the onlookers.

This Yun Mu was really shameless enough to walk into class as if nothing had happened after being caught cheating and having it trend on the hot search list.

At this moment, the head of instruction, Zhou Xun, walked in, and the chatter immediately quieted.

"Yun Mu, come with me to the office!"

The crowd watching the spectacle immediately became agitated. As a student of Imperial Capital University involved in such a scandal, according to Director Zhou's temper, he would surely expel Yun Mu from Imperial Capital University!

In the office.

Zhou Xun still harbored resentment towards Yun Mu. Even though he knew from the previous test that she was a rare genius, he still felt that this girl was restless.

Looking at Yun Mu, Zhou Xun said, "Yun Mu, since you're already the young mistress of the Huo family, what's going on with the President of Emperor Group? The internet is in an uproar now, not only tarnishing our school's reputation but also setting a bad example for other girls who are already unable to resist the temptation of power!"

Yun Mu's eyes were calm as she looked at Zhou Xun. "I am indeed with the President of Emperor Group, but this public opinion is clearly being manipulated by someone."

Zhou Xun frowned. "I don't care about the reasons behind it. I only know that you've brought a very negative impact to the school. According to the school rules, you need to be suspended for investigation."

Just as Yun Mu was about to raise her eyebrows and speak, the door to the academic affairs office was knocked on by Feng Lixin.

"Director Zhou, Wu Yong, who originally registered for the National Programming Competition, has been hospitalized due to a car accident. We urgently need a replacement now."

"What?" Zhou Xun immediately forgot about Yun Mu, asking anxiously, "Is it serious? Can he still compete?"

Feng Lixin furrowed his brows and shook his head. "It's not serious, but his right hand is fractured."

That meant there was absolutely no way he could participate in the programming competition.

"Do we have any students who can replace him?"

Feng Lixin shook his head again. "This programming competition has gathered the top computer talents from across the country. Our school only had Wu Yong who could hold his own, but who would have thought..."

Who would have thought that on the day before the competition, he would end up in the hospital after a car accident, leaving them without a replacement contestant!

Imperial Capital University was the number one university in Huaguo, so it had to win any competition.

Especially recently, Imperial Capital University had been under scrutiny because of Yun Mu and needed to win this competition even more to restore its reputation.

But...

"I'll participate!"
