Chapter 88: Trapped Again

Chapter 88: Trapped Again

That very night, a hashtag #OneWomanTamesThreeMen, #YunMuAndHeJinzhouClubAmbiguity trended on Weibo.

Photos of Yun Mu and He Jinzhou's ambiguous behavior at Solomon's nightclub were exposed online.

Everyone was familiar with the relationship between Yun Mu and He Jinzhou – former fiancée and fiancé, now sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law.

Suddenly, these two people, whose relationship was already murky, were caught in intimate gestures at a club, igniting an internet frenzy.

"Oh my god, what tricks does this Yun Mu have up her sleeve to ensnare even He Jinzhou!"

"He Jinzhou is now Yun Shuiyao's fiancé, her younger brother-in-law. I can't make sense of this relationship..."

"Honestly, I feel sorry for our Emperor Group CEO. Such a fickle woman doesn't deserve my adorable little puppy!"

"And also for Yun Shuiyao, her fiancé is being snatched away..."

"I don't understand Yun Mu's moves. Is she naturally promiscuous? One Huo Tingying and the Emperor Group CEO isn't enough, she has to seduce her younger brother-in-law too!"

"Her behavior is disgusting!"

...

This trending topic remained at the top, as everyone criticized Yun Mu while feeling sorry for Yun Shuiyao.

The complicated affairs of the wealthy elite were unpredictable, leaving netizens in chaos.

The first thing Yun Mu did upon seeing the trending topic was call Huo Tingying to explain, but his phone was off.

Was he busy?

Or was this dog of a man angry?

Yun Mu waited until ten o'clock at night without seeing Huo Tingying return, so she went straight to the Emperor Group, heading for the CEO's office.

All the staff had left work, leaving the office building dark.

Yun Mu knocked on the CEO office door, but there was no response.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the door suddenly opened.

Feng Shuo was surprised to see Yun Mu, "Madam? Young Master drank too much tonight at a social event and fell asleep inside."

The person inside seemed to hear the commotion, throwing a glass out.

Yun Mu signaled Feng Shuo to leave, then stepped inside herself.

Huo Tingying's shirt was loosely undone, lying slumped on the sofa. His cheeks and chest were flushed from alcohol, an abnormal shade of red.

His brows were tightly furrowed, showing pain.

His cold, narrow eyes curved slightly upon seeing her familiar face, pulling her directly into his embrace!

Yun Mu was hit hard by his chest, her hands pushing against him to try and push him away, but he held her tighter.

"If He Jinzhou can hold you, why can't I?"

Indeed, this man preferred to stay at the company rather than go home even when drunk, all because of that photo on the trending topic!

His deep eyes stared straight at her.

Yun Mu took a deep breath, laughing in anger.

"Huo Tingying, did a donkey kick your head? Are you sure you want to be upset with me over a single photo?"

He pressed her onto the sofa, his expression gradually softening.

"I want you to tell me personally that you no longer have feelings for He Jinzhou."

"There never were any!"

Yun Mu wanted to get angry, but looking at his dazed eyes, she forcibly suppressed her anger, cupping his face with both hands in an attempt to awaken his reason, "I only ran into He Jinzhou today and spoke a few words, nothing more. Tingying, let's go home..."

Before she could finish speaking, his thin lips covered her mouth.

This dog of a man again?

She bit his lip hard, the metallic taste of blood spreading.

He drew in a sharp breath in pain, then swallowed hard.

Just as she thought he was going to get angry, he kissed her fiercely again.

"Yun Mu, I won't allow any man to approach you, not one."

His voice was hoarse and domineering.

She should have pushed him away, but Yun Mu's eyes flickered, a mischievous idea forming.

They say the truth comes out after drinking, so did he really like her?

"Huo Tingying, you're a man too."

"I'm different."

"How are you different? Hmm?" The young girl's beautiful eyes shimmered, captivating.

His kiss fell again.

Just as Yun Mu thought she was finally going to hear the answer she wanted, the man on top of her suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

Yun Mu: "…"

Damn!

...

When Yun Shuiyao saw the trending topic, she felt her limbs turn cold.

In the past, if she saw Yun Mu being criticized while receiving support from netizens herself, she would have been delighted.

But why were the exposed photos identical to the one she showed Yi Jue during the day? Wouldn't he think that she was the one behind these antics?

What's going on? Who bought this trending topic?

They're definitely targeting me!

Sure enough, Yun Muche called, his tone laced with anger, "Yao'er, did you create this trending topic?"

Yun Shuiyao panicked, "Fourth Brother, how could you suspect me?"

"What's happening then?"

Yun Shuiyao quickly pressed her lips together, driving while saying, "How would I know? Jinzhou is my fiancé; what good does it do me to tarnish his reputation?"

Yun Muche paused slightly, saying, "But a journalist specifically named you as the source of the leak."

"Impossible!" Yun Shuiyao's mind went blank, and she raised her voice immediately.

Ten minutes later, Yun Shuiyao arrived at the Emperor Group.

She saw Huo Tingying's car had already left, and the person in the driver's seat was actually Yun Mu!

The next morning, Yun Shuiyao once again staked out at the base of the Emperor Group building.

"President Yi, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Huo Tingying get out of the car, Yun Shuiyao immediately approached him.

Looking at Yun Shuiyao rushing towards him, Huo Tingying's eyes held a heavy aura of malice.

"Miss Yun the Second is truly adept at courting death. It seems I should carve out a piece of the Yun family's cake for myself."

Yun Shuiyao's heart tightened, not because she was worried about the Yun family, but because she was hurt that this man had indeed concluded that she was the one who bought the trending topic.

"President Yi, I didn't do anything. The photo online wasn't leaked by me either."

Huo Tingying's thin lips curled slightly, "Then who do you say it was?"

"Wen Yi! The photo was originally sent to me by Wen Yi; she has a copy of it too. It must be her!"

Yun Shuiyao gritted her teeth; this woman was truly cunning and deceitful.

A single arrow hitting two targets, ruining Yun Mu's reputation while also blackening her image in Yi Jue's eyes.

"Evidence?" Huo Tingying narrowed his eyes slightly, his indifferent lips curling, "What evidence do you have that it's Wen Yi?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I have our chat records..." Yun Shuiyao hurriedly opened the chat page on her phone, but her expression changed instantly, "How could this be? Where are the chat records?"

Huo Tingying's eyes turned cold, his brows furrowing as he lowered them, "Miss Yun the Second, I have no interest in watching your self-directed drama. Wen Yi flew to Country M last night to participate in an orchestra performance. Don't you read the news?"

What?!

Yun Shuiyao hastily clicked open Wen Yi's Weibo page. Indeed, she had posted a selfie at the airport yesterday afternoon, flying to Country M.

This wretched woman! She had set up this trap long ago, waiting for her to fall right into it!

Yun Shuiyao found herself unable to explain herself.
