Chapter 189: The Pregnancy Test Report

Chapter 189: The Pregnancy Test Report

"This is the Huo family residence. Do you think Old Master Huo wouldn't know about this situation?" Huo Jinzhou gritted his teeth and nodded, "That's right; you want this to reach Old Master Huo! You don't care about my reputation in his eyes or my status in the Huo family. You just want to use me to ruin Yun Mu's name!"

Yun Shuiyao sneered, "So what if I do? Didn’t we agree on a partnership from the start? Why are you angry with me now? If you have the guts, go yell at Yun Mu and Huo Tingying!"

She glanced at Huo Jinzhou's battered appearance, her disdain deepening.

"Huo Jinzhou, I know what you're thinking. You’re just embarrassed that Huo Tingying beat you up in front of Yun Mu, right? Let me tell you, there’s no need because she already thinks you’re worthless!"

"You—"

The more understanding and gentle Yun Shuiyao once was in his eyes, the more vicious and repulsive she seemed now!

But he had to swallow his anger, "Yun Shuiyao, how much better off are you? Even without Yun Mu, Huo Tingying would never want you!"

Yun Shuiyao narrowed her eyes coldly, "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it myself! Huo Jinzhou, you're not going to give up just because you got beaten up, are you?"

"I, Huo Jinzhou, never know the meaning of giving up!" His hawk-like eyes flashed with coldness, "There's something I must remind you about. It seems Old Master Huo is investigating the engagement party incident. I don't care what your motives were, but I warned you to cover your tracks!"

With that, he threw a file folder onto the table.

Yun Shuiyao picked it up and saw it was her pregnancy test report from the hospital!

Her face turned pale, even twisted, "Did you read it?"

"No."

He didn't care about Yun Shuiyao or the dead child. Even if she had cheated on him, he wouldn't care anymore.

However...

"Why are you so nervous about whether I read it? Are you hiding something from me?"

Facing Huo Jinzhou's suspicious gaze, Yun Shuiyao remained calm.

"I just thought medical reports are private. How did you get it? Did Old Master Huo get it?"

She had clearly paid for silence.

"In this capital, there's nothing the Huo family can't do. Don't worry, Old Master Huo's people didn't get the report before I did. So whatever secret you're hiding, keep it well!"

Yun Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief and clutched the report tightly.

Today's beating made Huo Jinzhou realize something.

He needed Yun Shuiyao, but she also needed him in the Huo family!

He didn't have to tolerate her anymore!

"Yun Shuiyao, you can't match Yun Mu with just power and no brains! Since we're partners, shouldn't I be formally introduced to your organization behind the scenes?"

Yun Shuiyao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she laughed coldly, "So that's what you're after... Huo Jinzhou, do you really think I'm stupid? Just do your part, and forget the rest!"

With that, she turned and left.

Huo Jinzhou slammed things in frustration again.

He had wanted to watch the two women fight and benefit from their conflict, but now both of them treated him poorly.

...

The next morning.

Li Yunlan, with a swollen face from Yun Shuiyao's slap, couldn't show her face. Huo Jinzhou, covered in bruises, couldn't either. Yun Shuiyao, as usual, stayed invisible and didn't leave her room.

So at mealtime, everyone tacitly avoided the dining room.

Even Old Master Huo didn't come down for breakfast.

Yun Mu personally brought food from the kitchen to Old Master Huo. He must have known about last night's events. Huo Tingying had beaten Huo Jinzhou, and both were his grandsons, making it difficult for him.

No one was in the study, so Yun Mu placed the tray on the coffee table. Her gaze fell on the documents on the desk.

She didn't intend to pry, but the wind blew the papers off the desk.

Yun Mu bent down to pick them up.

At a glance, she saw they were about the investigation into the accident at the engagement party.

The information was comprehensive, indicating that someone had tampered with things, and the chandelier falling wasn't an accident.

Although the report didn't specify who was responsible, Old Master Huo was smart enough to figure it out.

Just as Yun Mu was putting the documents back, Old Master Huo walked in.

Feeling slightly awkward, she turned around, "Grandpa, I didn't mean to look at these documents..."

Old Master Huo waved his hand, "It's fine. Tingying gave them to me. I assume you already knew the truth. This Yun Shuiyao thinks she can fool an old man like me?"

"Do you have evidence now?"

Since Old Master Huo knew Yun Shuiyao had deliberately caused the accident, he would connect it to her pregnancy, though it was unclear how far he had investigated.

Old Master Huo shook his head sadly, "No. Yun Shuiyao is quite capable and left no evidence. Even when I sent people to the hospital to check her prenatal reports, they were told the reports had been taken and destroyed."

It seemed Old Master Huo didn't know the full truth yet.

Yun Mu naturally wouldn't say anything more.

With the precedent of Old Master Yun, it's best not to let too many people know about Yun Shuiyao impersonating for now.

"Yun Mu, for Tingying to be able to marry you is his good fortune. You are both good children, and in the future, you must support each other through life."

Yun Mu didn't expect Old Master Huo to change the subject so quickly. After a slight pause, she nodded hastily, "Yes, we will."

"This morning, I saw Tingying leave with a troubled look on his face. This child has always kept his worries to himself since he was young. Grandpa hopes that you can talk more openly with him. Between husband and wife, honesty and trust are especially important."

The old man's words were pointed.

Yun Mu felt a sharp pang in her heart.

Honesty, trust.

It seemed that ever since last night when she said she would personally watch over Old Master Yun's ward, Huo Tingying's mood had been off.

Could it be that he feels she isn't being honest enough with him?

But how could she explain the END organization and the fact that she had possessed this body?

Thinking about this made Yun Mu's head ache.

Forget it, she'll wait until she deals with Old Master Yun's matter and clears Yun Xiaosha's name before having a proper talk with him!

Seeing her hesitant expression, Old Master Huo knew she had taken his words to heart and smiled, "Let's not talk about that brat Tingying anymore. You came to bring me food, right? Come, have dinner with Grandpa."

Yun Mu nodded, "Okay."
