Chapter 129: Yun Mu’s Scheme

Chapter 129: Yun Mu's Scheme

Noon.

Huo Jizhou arrived at the designated location as promised and handed a bottle of red wine to Yun Shuiyao.

"This bottle of red wine, once consumed, can turn even a chaste man into a beast."

Yun Shuiyao's eyes sparkled. Although it was a pity for the vile Yun Mu, this was the best and most direct method.

As Yun Shuiyao reached out her hand, Huo Jizhou pulled the red wine back, "First, tell me who you're planning to use this against, Yun Mu?"

Yun Shuiyao didn't hide her intentions, "Yes, tonight I'll make Huo Tingying witness his wife betraying him with another man right before his eyes, and I'll make sure everyone in the capital sees it too!"

Huo Jizhou's expression darkened instantly as he coldly said, "Such a tactic is utterly despicable."

Yun Shuiyao's face turned icy, "Have you forgotten how Yun Mu schemed against me at the banquet? I've already inquired from Lu Nansen. Huo Tingying is still recovering from surgery and should avoid emotional turmoil. Only by doing this can we make Huo Tingying die of anger!"

The more Yun Shuiyao spoke, the more arrogant she became, "If today's plan succeeds, you will be the sole heir of the Huo Group. And I, can forever defeat Yun Mu."

Her ambition was unmasked in her eyes.

Huo Jizhou's hawk-like gaze narrowed; his lost dignity was reawakened.

Indeed, he and Yun Shuiyao were now in the same boat. If Yun Shuiyao succeeded, it would mean his success as well.

As for that woman Yun Mu, when she was trampled into the mud, she would surely look up to him.

Huo Jizhou handed over the red wine again, instructing, "Be careful, don't reveal any traces."

"I know what I'm doing."

Yun Shuiyao took the red wine and turned to leave.

Yun Mu never expected that she would be stood up by Huo Tingying.

So close to the concert, she only received his text message, saying there was something at the company and that he couldn't come, telling her to go directly to the hotel.

"Hey, all dressed up, are you going on a date?"

A voice filled with insinuation came, causing Yun Mu to suppress her anger.

"What's it to you?"

Yun Shuiyao chuckled lightly, "I'd really like to learn from you someday, how you manage to play two men, Huo Tingying and Yi Jue, so skillfully."

"You might never learn that in your lifetime."

Because they were one and the same person.

"I hope you can always maintain this haughty attitude." Yun Shuiyao sneered.

Yun Mu snorted coldly, bypassing her and getting into a taxi.

It might have been her imagination, but looking at Yun Shuiyao's figure in the rearview mirror, she felt that something was off about her today.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Yun Mu arrived at the Gaya Hotel on time.

Upon entering the lobby, a waiter approached and handed Yun Mu a gift box.

"Mrs. Huo, this is a gift prepared for you by Mr. Huo."

Prepared by Huo Tingying?

Yun Mu opened it to find a strapless velvet red dress inside.

This dog of a man, not picking her up for the concert, was he preparing a surprise here instead?

"Thank you," Yun Mu smiled, accepting the gift box.

Ten minutes later, Yun Mu, wearing the strapless red dress, pushed open the door to Room 306.

The room was dimly lit, with a faint fragrance floating around, leaving her momentarily stunned.

She stepped inside and soon saw the flickering red candles.

The candlelight danced, and next to the candelabra were placed red wine and a meal.

Beside a chair, there was also a bouquet of fresh roses.

The entire room was filled with a romantic atmosphere and mood!

Sure enough, that dog of a man had prepared a surprise for her!

Yun Mu picked up the roses, their rich fragrance intoxicating.

Where was he?

Was there more surprise to come?

Yun Mu sat down with the roses, pouring herself a glass of wine.

Her slender fingers gripped the stem of the glass, gently swirling the wine inside, taking a light sip with her red lips.

Mm, the aroma was rich, and the taste was pure.

At that moment, a loud noise came from outside the window.

Yun Mu turned her head, and what met her eyes was the spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky of the imperial capital.

Did he prepare this as well?

Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of heavy footsteps approached from the doorway.

A tall and handsome figure entered, the dazzling fireworks outside the window casting an alluring and seductive glow over his handsome features, so captivating that Yun Mu's heart skipped a beat.

What was wrong with her today?

After just two sips of red wine, how could she lose control at the sight of him!

Her mind was still hazy.

Yun Mu cleared her throat to suppress her emotions, stood up, and pointed with her chin at the candlelit dinner and the red roses beside her.

"Did you prepare all this?"

Huo Tingying seemed to have just finished a phone call, slipping his phone into his pocket with one hand and smiling lightly, "No."

"Not prepared by you?" Yun Mu was slow for a second before she laughed, "Then it must be Grandpa."

"The old man's preparations are in another room."

Yun Mu was stunned, "Then this room..."

"It was prepared by Yun Shuiyao."

Yun Mu's expression froze, her beautiful eyes gazing at him, "Huo Tingying, are you joking with me?"

Yun Shuiyao would prepare a romantic surprise for her and Huo Tingying?

Only if the sun rose from the west!

Huo Tingying looked deeply into her eyes, nodding, "The fireworks outside the window and the dress you're wearing were both arranged by Yun Shuiyao."

Damn!

A chill ran through Yun Mu's body.

"This green tea b*tch is messing with me again; there shouldn't be any virus on this dress, I need to take it off..."

As Yun Mu spoke, she tried to remove her dress, but unexpectedly, her high heels slipped, causing her body to sway, and her palm knocked over the glass of red wine on the table.

Huo Tingying glanced at her, immediately frowning.

"Did you drink this red wine?"

Yun Mu steadied herself, looking dazedly at the red wine, her mind regaining some clarity.

"Can't drink this wine?"

Huo Tingying stared fixedly at her, not answering.

But his gaze seemed to say, what do you think?

The wine sent by Yun Shuiyao, of course, couldn't be drunk!

As if to confirm her suspicion, her body suddenly went limp, and Yun Mu immediately held onto the dining table to steady herself.

"Finished... I didn't expect to fall for it like this, it can't be poison, right?"

Dressed in a red spaghetti-strap dress, it perfectly outlined her figure, revealing what should be revealed and what shouldn't, all hinted at vaguely.

At this moment, Yun Mu's eyes were blurred, her unmasked face flushed red like a ripe apple, frowning as she checked her pulse while cursing.

A hint of amusement flickered imperceptibly across Huo Tingying's narrow eyes.

He had only gone out to answer a phone call, and he hadn't expected this little woman to open the red wine and start drinking on her own.

He hadn't expected that this useless person, Yun Shuiyao, could actually deliver such a surprise to him.

Huo Tingying stepped forward, pouring her a glass of water, his voice deep and mellow.

"What did you add to the wine, did you find out?"

Yun Mu's complexion alternated between black and white, nodding dumbly, "I... I found it out."

Damn!

This low-class Yun Shuiyao!
