Chapter 132: He is Huo Tingying

Chapter 132: He is Huo Tingying

A hint of shock flashed across Yun Shuiyao's face, and with a tinge of anger, she reminded, "President Yi, Yun Mu is Huo Tingying's wife, not yours."

Wife?

Could it be that the woman he cared about most wasn't that mysterious one? How could he casually call Yun Mu his wife?

Huo Tingying lounged on the sofa, wisps of pale smoke drifting from his fingertips, making his already inscrutable features appear even more enigmatic and eerie.

His eyes seemed to carry a smile, yet they didn't; slightly raising his brows, he beckoned to Yun Mu.

Yun Mu obediently walked over and sat beside him.

He drew her into his embrace, stroking her smooth black hair, his voice clear and composed, "You didn't tell them who I am?"

The corners of Yun Mu's eyes lifted slightly, a touch of innocence in her tone, "Not yet, I was afraid it would scare them to death if I said it."

"It's fine, go ahead and scare them. If you don't give me my due status soon, I'm afraid I'll be treated as a third party and drowned in a pig cage." Huo Tingying flicked off some ash, his deep voice laced with a hint of indulgence.

Yun Shuiyao and the rest of the onlookers were all perplexed.

Wasn't he just President Yi, the CEO of the Emperor Group?

What other identity did he have?

A foreboding premonition gradually surfaced in Yun Shuiyao's heart, and she couldn't help but ask, "President Yi, aren't you just the CEO of the Emperor Group?"

Yun Mu's clear pupils glanced at the clearly agitated Yun Shuiyao, her lips curling in disdain, "Being the CEO of the Emperor Group is merely one of his identities. His other identity isn't unfamiliar to you either."

Everyone held their breath, so silent that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

Snuggled in Huo Tingying's arms, Yun Mu cooed, "He is my husband, Huo Tingying."

Upon hearing this, the entire room drew in a cold breath.

All were stunned.

What? What did Yun Mu just say? She said that the CEO of the Emperor Group was her husband... Huo Tingying?

This... This can't be true!

The color rapidly drained from Yun Shuiyao's exquisite face, leaving her as pale as paper. She felt as if she had fallen into an icy snowstorm, chilled to the bone.

She shook her head, muttering, "This can't be true! It's impossible!"

Yun Shuiyao's pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes reddening as she looked at Huo Tingying, "President Yi, Yun Mu is talking nonsense, right? You're President Yi, how could you possibly be Huo Tingying?"

At this moment, Feng Shuo, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, stood up and respectfully approached with a bag.

"Young Master, Young Mistress, these are the clothes for you to change into that Old Master asked me to bring."

The room erupted.

It seemed that the CEO of the Emperor Group really was Huo Tingying!

That sickly husband Huo Tingying whom Yun Mu had married in place of someone else.

No wonder she hadn't panicked when rumors spread before; they were legally married.

Then what about Yun Shuiyao...

The crowd looked at Yun Shuiyao with complicated expressions.

Yun Shuiyao's chest heaved, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

So the man she had been dreaming of getting during this period was actually Huo Tingying!

No, this can't be true!

Yun Shuiyao still refused to believe it, stepping forward two paces, clenching her fists. At this moment, she couldn't maintain her composure or keep a clear head.

"Yun Mu, this is just another one of your tricks, right? Don't try to fool me. Everyone knows that Huo Tingying is a sickly person. How could he possibly be President Yi here?"

Someone from the crowd of onlookers also curiously asked, "Right, Yun Shuiyao is Huo Jinzhou's fiancée and often visits the Huo family. There's no way she could have mistaken him."

The others began to waver as well.

Indeed, the Huo Tingying in the rumors was a sickly person, so weak that he wouldn't live past twenty-six years old, having just undergone surgery. But the man before them was tall and robust, full of vitality, clearly not a sick person!

But Yun Shuiyao was suddenly struck by a realization.

Aside from that one time she secretly took photos, she had never actually seen Huo Tingying at the Huo residence.

Huo Tingying glanced at Yun Shuiyao, his demeanor lofty and condescending, like a king overlooking his subjects.

With a hint of mockery in his tone, he said, "Don't you know that rumors are unreliable? Just like the rumor that the first daughter of the capital is gentle, dignified, beautiful, and kind-hearted. But in reality?"

In reality, she was just an adopted daughter, not only stealing the spotlight from the real daughter Yun Mu but also attempting to murder Yun Mu and ultimately pinning the blame on Gong Xiyue!

She had schemed to steal Yun Mu's fiancé, Huo Jinzhou, and then publicly cheated on him!

Saying she was venomous like a snake wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Yun Shuiyao's body froze, forgetting to breathe.

She finally understood why President Yi had so easily agreed to meet her, and why everything had gone so smoothly today.

It turned out that all of this was part of their plan, designed to publicly humiliate her.

She had actually plunged headfirst into this situation!

That slap stung so much that she felt almost numb.

But Yun Shuiyao could not believe it. She shook her head repeatedly, staring at Yun Mu with a hoarse voice as she accused, "Yun Mu! This is your revenge against me, isn't it? Because I stole the limelight from the Yun family's young miss and took Jingzhou away, you want to take everything I desire! How could you do this?"

At this moment, Yun Mu's understanding of Yun Shuiyao's shamelessness reached new heights.

She stepped out from behind Huo Tingying, her clear eyes revealing coldness and mockery as she looked at Yun Shuiyao.

"Yun Shuiyao, you say this is my revenge? Who schemed to bring me back to Huaguo, and who harbored ill intentions to have me marry into the Huo family? Don't you remember, the position of Mrs. Huo was delivered into my hands by you."

Yun Shuiyao's body swayed under the impact of these words.

Indeed!

How could she forget that she wanted to marry Huo Jinzhou, which led her to manipulate Lin Wanqing into bringing Yun Mu back from the sanatorium to be the substitute bride...

The more she thought about her foolish decision, the less Yun Shuiyao could believe or accept it.

It was supposed to be her standing beside this man, perfect like a deity. She was the rightful Mrs. Huo, the wife of the Emperor Group's CEO!

Yun Mu watched Yun Shuiyao's heart turn to ashes with satisfaction. It was truly cathartic.

Casually flicking her hair, she stepped closer to Yun Shuiyao, half-closing her beautiful eyes in disdain as she said, "But there's one thing you must remember, Yun Shuiyao: I never took anything from you. Because...you've always been empty-handed. Everything you have was never yours to begin with."

Many around them heard Yun Mu's words clearly.

No matter how radiant and outstanding Yun Shuiyao had been over the years, no one could forget that she was merely an adopted daughter of the Yun family.

Her humble origins indeed left her with nothing.

Everything she had was taken from Yun Mu.

Yun Mu's face turned cold as she added icily, "Do you remember what I said? I will reclaim everything you took from me, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold."

Yun Shuiyao's complexion alternated between green and white, her entire body trembling with rage.

Finally, she could no longer contain her fury and erupted with a fierce shout, "Yun Mu, don't even think about it!"
