Chapter 122: Greened on the Spot

Chapter 122: Greened on the Spot

The night was cool, and the lights were dim.

Yun Shuiyao called out in a soft voice, "President Yi..."

Then she lifted her dress and stepped forward, but whether it was because her foot had been tripped or intentionally, she lunged straight towards the man in front of her.

Unfortunately, the man in front of her shifted slightly to the side, and Yun Shuiyao collided straight into the balcony railing.

"President Yi..."

Unaware that someone had approached, Yun Shuiyao looked up pitifully, sobbing, "Why are you so heartless, President Yi? I've poured my heart out to you, telling you the truth, yet you won't even give me a response?"

The crowd hiding around the corner sucked in their breaths.

Poured her heart out with the truth?

This this this...

Huo Tingying, standing in the dark corner, had excellent hearing and had already heard the muffled footsteps approaching deliberately.

Following the lines Yun Mu had prepared for him, he asked, "You say you like me, but what about Huo Jizhou? Isn't he your fiancé?"

"My engagement with him is no longer valid; I just haven't announced it publicly because I feel sorry for him. But if you're concerned, I can break up with him right away and immediately hold a press conference to cancel the engagement."

Yun Shuiyao said excitedly, who would still care about Huo Jizhou if she could hook up with Yi Jue?

"So decisive. When you arranged for a substitute bride, I thought you at least had some feelings for him?" Huo Tingying sneered coldly.

Yun Shuiyao didn't catch the undertone in Huo Tingying's words and continued to profess her sincerity.

"Of course not. It was he who pursued me because he thought Yun Mu was an idiot. I was deceived by his sweet talk. To be honest, he only wanted the support of the Yun family behind me to strengthen his position in the Huo Group. In fact...he doesn't love me at all. I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time, but I never had the chance."

As she spoke, Yun Shuiyao sniffled softly, looking pitiful.

From around the corner, the group's gaze towards Huo Jizhou became increasingly subtle.

This...was too exciting!

A live broadcast of Huo Jizhou being cheated on.

"So that's how it is," Huo Tingying laughed evilly and mockingly said, "Then I've done you a good deed. From now on, you can finally get rid of Huo Jizhou. Congratulations."

Huo Tingying's thin lips curved into an inscrutable smile, then he turned and left with long strides.

Yun Shuiyao was confused by his words and was about to chase after him to ask what he meant when she heard heavy footsteps behind her.

Yun Shuiyao suddenly turned around and saw Huo Jizhou walking towards her with a cold expression.

And behind Huo Jizhou was Yun Mu, as well as the other actors from tonight's crew. Yun Shuiyao's heart sank completely.

How could Huo Jizhou be here?

It's over, everything is over.

A cold wind blew from the balcony, causing Yun Shuiyao to shiver.

She had never seen Huo Jizhou look so cold and sinister; she could even sense...a murderous aura from him.

Yun Shuiyao panicked, "Jizhou, let me explain!"

But before Huo Jizhou could speak, Yun Mu stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

"Smack—"

The force was so strong that Yun Shuiyao was knocked against the wall.

Everyone drew in a cold breath!

"I've seen many shameless women, but I've never seen one as despicable as you! Not content with seducing and stealing my former fiancé, you're at it again! Are you born to be cheap, or is it in your blood to enjoy taking what belongs to others? Disgraceful!"

Having finally returned the slap Li Yunlan had given her, Yun Mu felt a sense of relief.

After her pretentious scolding, she lifted her dress and chased after Huo Tingying.

Tonight's goal had been achieved; the rest of the drama would be left to Yun Shuiyao and Huo Jizhou, that pair of scum and slut, to perform!

Yun Shuiyao's eardrums were ringing from the blow, but she ignored the pain and desperately grabbed Huo Jizhou's arm.

"Jizhou, I was drunk, I was tricked by Yun Mu..."

"She tricked you?" Huo Jizhou laughed bitterly in anger, his tone icy, "Telling me that you and your mother were going to pray at the temple outside the city and lying that you wouldn't attend the banquet, was that also Yun Mu's trickery?"

Yun Shuiyao shook her head, mumbling an explanation, "No, Jizhou, I can explain everything..."

"Was that man just now Yi Jue? Then explain this: your heartfelt confession to Yi Jue and the words you said to him, were those also part of Yun Mu's trickery?"

"Jizhou, there are so many people here. Let's find a quiet place first, and I'll explain everything to you, okay?"

Although tonight's banquet hadn't invited the media, the entertainment circle was a small world, and this matter would likely spread throughout the circle by tomorrow...

Huo Jizhou's face was livid as he grabbed Yun Shuiyao's chin, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, "I remember when you confessed to me for the first time, you were also wearing a white dress and looked drunk. Yun Shuiyao, so these were all your seductive tricks..."

He had foolishly believed back then that Yun Shuiyao's feelings for him were genuine.

Now, thinking about it, it was truly laughable.

Jinzhou was laughing maniacally, his grip on Yun Shuiyao's chin growing tighter with each passing second, his eyes brimming with hatred and malice.

"Yun Shuiyao, I must have been blind back then to forsake Yun Mu for you."

"Now that I think about it, even the foolish Yun Mu of those days was a thousand times better than you. At least, she wasn't as repulsive as you!"

In a fit of rage, Jinzhou flung Yun Shuiyao away.

He let her fall to the ground.

Then, with a cold expression, he turned around and left.

"Jinzhou, Jinzhou..."

No matter how much Yun Shuiyao called out to him from behind, Jinzhou didn't look back.

It's over, it's over...

This thought filled Yun Shuiyao's mind.

The crowd watched as Yun Shuiyao sobbed on the ground, not a single person coming forward to help her up.

They were whispering amongst themselves...

Just then.

A tall figure, shrouded in chilling coldness, emerged from the shadowy corner of the stairwell, stepping out into the cold light.

"Get lost, all of you!"

It was the renowned actor, Yun Chengdong!

The crowd gasped in surprise, quickly dispersing.

"Third Brother..."

On the ground, Yun Shuiyao lifted her swollen, tear-streaked face, looking pitifully at Yun Chengdong.

Yun Chengdong took off his suit jacket, gently draping it over her shoulders, softly asking, "Can you stand?"

Yun Shuiyao shook her head lightly.

With a soft sigh, Yun Chengdong bent down, sweeping Yun Shuiyao into his arms in a princess carry.

As she felt the warmth of this embrace, Yun Shuiyao couldn't hold back her sobs any longer.

Yun Chengdong, cool yet gentle, said, "Cry if you want to, it's alright now..."

And with that, he carried her step by step away from the center of the party...

When the crowd saw this scene, they couldn't help but envy Yun Shuiyao somewhat.

To have such a caring brother, they would be content even without someone like Jinzhou or Yi Jue in their lives.

And besides, Yun Shuiyao had four such outstanding brothers.
