Chapter 114: The Great Transformation of Fortunes

Li Yunlan was agitated. "Father, Jinzhou has been working diligently for the Huo Group for so many years. You can't negate all his efforts just because of today's farce."

"Farce? You were trying to kill Tingying!" Old Master Huo said coldly. "And what about all the things you've done before? Do you really think I didn't know?"

Li Yunlan's eyes flickered, and she dared not speak again.

Huo Jinzhou took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Today, I was foolish and fell into their trap. Whether it's being framed or punished, I accept it. But Big Brother has just undergone surgery and hasn't recovered yet. He probably can't shoulder the burden of the Huo Group either."

Huo Tingying glanced at Old Master Huo, the corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile. "Old man, I'm not interested in the Huo Group. Leave it to those good-for-nothing Hus. Yunmu, let's go."

Yun Mu got up, stretching lazily, then pushed Huo Tingying away.

The people behind them could still hear Huo Tingying's doting voice. "Does your face still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. It was just a scratch that left finger marks, but they're almost gone now."

Old Master Huo stared at the two figures for a long time, and a hint of tenderness finally appeared in his angry eyes.

This Yun Mu is indeed a perfect match for his unruly grandson!

Then, the old butler stepped forward behind Old Master Huo, presenting a tablet computer for him to see. The old butler said solemnly, "Old Master, this is the current trending news. Please take a look yourself."

Old Master Huo narrowed his eyes and glanced at it.

Weibo Trending News - #Huo Group's Eldest Son Dies from Illness; Wife Yun Mu Suspected of Involvement.

Old Master Huo's eyes widened with fury, and he suddenly raised the tablet and threw it on the ground. Turning around, his face ashen, he glared at the Huo family members. "Which fool leaked this information!"

Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads frequently.

The old butler, not one to miss out on the drama, touched his nose and coughed lightly. "Second Miss Yun said she was going to call the Yun family earlier. That phone call seemed to last quite a while."

Everyone suddenly understood.

Well, it was Yun Shuiyao, who was unaware of the truth, who had revealed it to the media.

"Huo Jinzhou, this is your fiancée! Look at what she's done!" Old Master Huo scolded.

Huo Jinzhou closed his eyes in resignation, swallowing all his bitterness and grievances. "Grandfather, I will handle today's matter properly."

Just then, Yun Shuiyao walked back in her high heels.

Seeing everyone looking at her with complicated expressions and Yun Mu nowhere to be seen, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that Yun Mu had already been sent to the police station?

That would be great!

"Where's my sister? Have you all decided how to punish her? I just talked to my father, and I believe he will provide a satisfactory solution for everyone. I hope you will show mercy and not send my sister to prison..."

Huo Jinzhou couldn't bear to listen anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"

Yun Shuiyao looked at Huo Jinzhou and saw him staring at her with a gloomy expression, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Just as she was about to ask what had happened, she heard Li Yunlan's sharp and angry voice. "You shameless woman, dare to spout nonsense here. Are you not satisfied with the misery you've caused me and Jinzhou?"

Yun Shuiyao realized that everyone was looking at her with resentment.

"What happened? Did my sister say something to you? Don't be deceived by her. She's always cunning and vicious..."

"Enough, I think the vicious one is you!"

Old Master Huo was immensely grateful that Yun Mu was the one who married Tingying. He didn't want to look at Yun Shuiyao again and said, "Miss Yun, from now on, our Huo family will no longer welcome you. Your engagement with Jinzhou is hereby terminated!"

What?!

Yun Shuiyao was shocked.

Although she also planned to cancel the engagement with Huo Jinzhou after this incident, she hadn't successfully won Yi Jue over yet. Cancelling the engagement rashly now was too risky.

Moreover, why would Old Master Huo suddenly cancel the engagement? What happened?

Could it be...that wretched Yun Mu turned the tables again?!

"Grandpa Huo..." Yun Shuiyao wanted to catch up to Old Master Huo to ask for clarification, but Huo Jinzhou grabbed her wrist and slammed her against the wall. "Jinzhou, what are you doing?"

Yun Shuiyao was in pain.

"What am I doing? I wish I could tear you to pieces!" Li Yunlan stepped forward, grabbing Yun Shuiyao's collar and gritting her teeth. "Listen carefully. Huo Tingying isn't dead at all. You were tricked by that girl Yun Mu!"

Yun Shuiyao's face turned pale, and she muttered, "How could it be? Impossible!"

Li Yunlan sneered. "Jinzhou lost his right to inherit the Huo Group because of you. All these years of hard work were ruined by you! I must have been blind to let Jinzhou get involved with a jinx like you."

"Auntie..." Yun Shuiyao's eyes welled up with tears.

"Crying, is that all you can do?"

"Mom, enough."

Huo Jinzhou still had some rationality left. Now wasn't the time to vent anger on Yun Shuiyao.

Besides, Yun Shuiyao was the most pampered daughter of the Yun family.

At this moment, he couldn't afford to lose Yun Shuiyao, his fiancée.

He stepped forward, pulling Li Yunlan away and shielding Yun Shuiyao. "Mom, I'll send you home. The company must be in chaos right now. I need to go back and deal with it."

Li Yunlan glared fiercely at Yun Shuiyao before following Huo Jinzhou's assistant away.

"Jinzhou, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't know things would turn out this way... What on earth happened?"

How could Huo Tingying possibly not be dead?

Huo Jinzhou wished he could strangle Yun Shuiyao right then and there, but he suppressed his anger and patiently explained, "The serum you found was intentionally left behind by Yun Mu as a defective product; you fell into his trap."

"What?" A flash of realization crossed Yun Shuiyao's mind as she finally understood, laughing in bitter anger, "So that's how it is..."

That wretched woman!

No wonder she said those things last night. It seemed she had been deliberately provoking her, to make her act rashly.

But did this also mean that Yun Mu actually had no substantial evidence in his hands? The fire from years ago, and that photograph...

Huo Jinzhou watched the curious and complex changes in Yun Shuiyao's expression, frowning, "Yao'er, are you hiding something from me?"

Yun Shuiyao quickly regained her composure, shaking her head hastily, "No, I was just thinking about how to help you regain control of the Huo Group."

"There's no rush for that. I have several new projects in hand, but they're currently lacking funds. If these projects go well, the people in the company will naturally continue to support me," Huo Jinzhou hinted meaningfully.

Yun Shuiyao immediately understood what he meant, sneering inwardly.

No wonder she had caused such a mess, yet Huo Jinzhou was still protecting her earlier. It turned out he wanted the Yun family's money.
