Chapter 109: The Unfamiliar Little Girl

Wen Qingqing hugged Yun Mu and chatted excitedly for a while before picking up her phone to leave.

She had to quickly respond to the director. What if Mr. Yun changed his mind later?

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Huo Tingying standing opposite her with a grim expression. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could pierce through her.

Wen Qingqing's petite body trembled as she greeted him in a quivering voice, "President Yi, good day."

Then she hurried away.

Yun Mu turned back and smiled, "Why are you here?"

She ran over and hugged him, but Huo Tingying took out a handkerchief with a look of disdain, lightly wiping her cheek. His tone was deep and cold, "No one is allowed to touch you from now on."

Yun Mu laughed, "Qingqing is a girl."

"Girls aren't allowed either." A dark cloud hung over Huo Tingying's eyes.

"Alright then."

Yun Mu's long hair flowed like a waterfall. Today, without her veil, she used an alluring butterfly pattern to cover her scar, her makeup exquisite. Wrapping her arms around his neck, her voice was seductive, making one's body go limp, "So, Mr. Huo, what brings you here?"

Playing games?

This woman was doing this on purpose...

Knowing full well that he wouldn't do anything to her in public.

Huo Tingying swallowed, silently creating some distance between them, "We found Mama Zhang's camera."

Instantly, Yun Mu straightened up, her expression turning cold as she asked in a chilly voice, "Where?"

The speed at which she changed her expression.

Huo Tingying slightly furrowed his brows, saying, "There are too many people here. Let's see it in the car."

Yun Mu nodded and followed him out of the school and into the car.

In the luxurious vehicle, Yun Mu opened the camera.

Just as Mama Zhang said, there was nothing in the camera except for a few photos.

There were five photos in total. Four of them were random landscapes, but the last one was a photo of an unfamiliar little girl.

Judging by the photo, it seemed to have been taken from a newspaper. The features of the little girl were somewhat blurry.

But she looked somewhat similar to Yun Xiaosha's memory of Yun Shuiyao.

Yet she was definitely not Yun Shuiyao.

Huo Tingying leaned over to take a look, "Do you know this girl?"

"I don't, but she looks quite similar to young Yun Shuiyao. Isn't that a coincidence?" Yun Mu said slowly.

Huo Tingying's pupils sharply contracted as his gaze fell on the little girl in the photo, "Are you speculating that she is the real Yun Shuiyao?"

Yun Mu remained silent.

"If I let Feng Shuo investigate this little girl, and if she really is Yun Shuiyao..."

"If she really is Yun Shuiyao, she's probably no longer alive." Yun Mu interrupted him, laughing softly, "But it doesn't matter. To completely replace someone without leaving any traces is impossible."

Huo Tingying nodded, stroking Yun Mu's head, "Leave it to me. Go back to your classes with peace of mind."

Yun Mu nodded and got out of the car.

A chill filled her heart.

Meanwhile, Yun Shuiyao was lying on the soft sofa in the Yun family's living room, speaking in a sweet voice to Yun Chengdong on the phone, "Third Brother, you're serious? The lead role has been confirmed for me."

"Mm, filming starts next month. Get ready."

Yun Shuiyao was ecstatic, "That's great, thank you, Third Brother."

"You're my most beloved younger sister. This is what I should do for you. During this time, focus on your acting, but don't neglect Huo Jinzhou either. After all, he's your fiancé."

For some reason, Yun Shuiyao felt that Yun Chengdong's words carried a warning tone.

But Yun Shuiyao was filled with joy and didn't think too much about it, "Mm, I will. You can go on vacation with peace of mind, Third Brother. Bye."

...

At the airport.

Huo Jinzhou emerged, dressed in a black suit, his tall and upright figure exuding a cold and handsome aura with distinct features.

The girls around him cast admiring glances.

Yun Shuiyao gave the surrounding girls a cold look before stepping forward in her high heels, claiming her territory by hooking her arm through Huo Jinzhou's.

"Jinzhou, you're finally back."

Huo Jinzhou subtly frowned, "You've changed your perfume?"

Yun Shuiyao was slightly taken aback before smiling, "Yes, do you like it?"

"It's too strong. Go back to using the old one." Huo Jinzhou indifferently pulled his arm away and got into the car.

Yun Shuiyao followed suit and got into the car, obediently saying, "Alright, I'll wear the perfume I used before when we meet next time."

Huo Jinzhou gave a faint "Mm," then took an exquisite box from his assistant.

"It's a gift for you."

A luxurious crystal bracelet, a limited new release from a high-end brand that had only come out last week.

Yun Shuiyao's eyes instantly lit up. "I love it, thank you, Jinzhou."

Huo Jinzhou didn't reply, merely leaning back in his seat to close his eyes and rest, looking exhausted.

Yun Shuiyao, intent on breaking the awkward silence between them, spoke up. "Quite a few things happened in the capital while you were away. You probably don't know this, but Yun Mu actually wants to break into the entertainment industry too, and she stole the game endorsement that was already mine. But it doesn't matter, I've already landed a new lead role in a major production."

"It's really laughable. Whatever I want to do, she has to come in and meddle. Yi Jue helped her get the endorsement by directly acquiring the game company. Indeed, she approached Yi Jue for his power and influence, wanting to make money off him..."

"She doesn't need to."

"What did you say?" Yun Shuiyao turned her head to look at Huo Jinzhou.

Huo Jinzhou opened his eyes, his hawk-like gaze cold and dark as he said heavily, "I said Yun Mu doesn't need to approach Yi Jue for wealth or power. Because she's already obtained 20% of the Huo Group's shares."

Twenty percent of the Huo Group's shares?

Yun Shuiyao nearly dropped her jaw in shock, exclaiming, "You mean Yun Mu acquired 20% of the Huo Group's shares? How did she get it, who gave it to her?"

After all, even Huo Jinzhou, the crown prince of the Huo Group, only held 10% of the group's shares, which was what his father Huo Jin left him.

How could Yun Mu possibly obtain 20% in one go?

The sharpness in Huo Jinzhou's eyes was like a blade, as he sneered, "Who else could it be? That sickly ghost Huo Tingying forced Grandpa to give it to her. Second Uncle and Third Uncle couldn't resist Grandpa's threats and had to painfully part with their wealth."

"How can a sickly person have so much sway in the Huo family? Doesn't your grandfather consider your situation?" Yun Shuiyao was also somewhat agitated.

For one, even if Huo Jinzhou took over the Huo Group, Yun Mu would still have significant influence within the group.

Secondly, she was naturally unwilling that a wretch like Yun Mu could be so fortunate, suddenly coming into such a large windfall.

That was 20% of the Huo Group's shares, priceless.

And despite being treated like a princess in the Yun family for so many years, she didn't have a single share of the Yun family's assets in her hands.

She had just been bragging in front of Yun Mu, never expecting to be slapped in the face so quickly.
