Chapter 218: Beat Him to Death

Chapter 218: Beat Him to Death

At that moment, heavy footsteps approached, carrying a murderous aura.

Accompanied by the sound of a vase shattering against the floor.

Yun Mu saw Huo Jinzhou, standing right in front of her, get hit on the head with the vase. He grunted and stumbled back a few steps before regaining his balance.

He lowered his head, his palm now covered in glaring blood, his vision blurring.

Behind him, Huo Tingying still held half of the broken vase, his body radiating intense killing intent.

The temperature in the living room instantly dropped to freezing.

For a moment, Yun Mu was stunned.

She had been prepared to break Huo Jinzhou's arm if he dared to kiss her.

But she didn't expect Huo Tingying to be so fierce, aiming to crush his head!

After a while, she noticed that not only was Huo Jinzhou's head bleeding, but also the hand Huo Tingying used to hold the vase.

When the vase smashed down, shards must have pierced his hand as well.

Yun Mu frowned and stepped forward, "Tingying, your hand is injured."

She moved to examine his wound, but Huo Tingying brushed her aside.

As if he felt no pain, he threw the remaining half of the vase to the ground, ignoring the bleeding wound on his hand. He then bypassed Yun Mu and lunged at Huo Jinzhou with a cold, vicious expression, delivering a powerful punch to his face!

Huo Jinzhou, who hadn't even regained his footing, was knocked to the ground again!

Huo Tingying's bloody hand smeared his face.

The floor was stained with glaring blood, looking extremely gruesome.

"I warned you, next time, I'll take your life!"

Huo Tingying, red-eyed from rage, rained blow after blow onto Huo Jinzhou's body.

Huo Jinzhou was already no match for Huo Tingying, especially after being hit with the vase.

He struggled to defend himself, barely managing to protect his head.

Yun Mu didn't care about Huo Jinzhou's fate, but she couldn't bear seeing the glass shards still embedded in Huo Tingying's hand, causing it to bleed profusely.

She stepped forward to stop him, "Tingying, your hand... Stop it!"

But Huo Tingying angrily shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Yun Mu drew a sharp breath and took a step back.

Soon, the servants brought Li Yunlan over. Seeing the scene, she almost fainted and rushed forward to intervene.

"Stop it, Jinzhou, my Jinzhou! Huo Tingying, stop it!"

At this moment, Old Master Huo arrived as well.

Seeing the blood-stained floor and Huo Jinzhou, who was nearly beaten speechless, he felt dizzy.

"Stop it, all of you! Are you trying to rebel?"

The butler and the servants rushed forward, struggling to separate the two.

Seeing Huo Jinzhou, who could barely stand, Old Master Huo hurriedly ordered, "Call the family doctor immediately! Hurry up!"

Upon hearing the order for the family doctor, Li Yunlan's expression changed.

Old Master Huo did not want an ambulance called to avoid public scandal.

Was this beating going to be in vain again?

She was unwilling!

The family doctor soon arrived with a medical kit.

"Let's go!"

Huo Tingying, using his uninjured hand, tried to pull Yun Mu away.

"Where are you going? Get your wounds bandaged first!"

Yun Mu looked at Huo Tingying's bloodied hand and drew a sharp breath, lifting his hand to examine it.

His left palm was punctured with several glass shards, still embedded in the flesh, making it look excruciating.

"A little blood won't kill me."

Huo Tingying glanced neither left nor right, casually taking out a handkerchief to press on the wound, attempting to leave with Yun Mu.

"Don't move!"

Li Yunlan intervened, coldly saying, "You think you can just walk away after beating someone? Do you really think you're the patriarch of the Huo family?"

Yun Mu frowned.

Huo Tingying stopped, turned around, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "I did beat him. What are you going to do about it?"

Li Yunlan gritted her teeth and turned to Old Master Huo.

"Dad! Listen to this—this is the good grandson you keep protecting! Jinzhou is his own brother, and if it weren't for you stopping him today, Jinzhou would have beaten him to death! When will this family have some rules? Jinzhou is your legitimate grandson, while Huo Tingying is just a bastard!"

Yun Mu's expression turned cold as ice, her beautiful eyes radiating chill.

"Mrs. Huo, if you can't speak properly, I don't mind pulling out your tongue! Besides, it was your son who tried to molest me, so Tingying acted in self-defense!"

Li Yunlan sneered with disdain, "If you hadn't seduced my son, would he have molested you?"

Huo Tingying's face darkened, and he took a step forward.

"Smack—"

Old Mr. Huo slammed the water cup he was holding onto the coffee table fiercely.

"Elders acting like elders, younger ones not behaving like younger ones—what do you all want?"

With Old Mr. Huo's anger, everyone fell silent.

"Tingying was wrong to act today, but your son had no fault?"

Li Yunlan persisted, "Jinzhou did make a mistake, but it wasn't a capital offense! Dad, tell us, how many times have we endured and suffered? I am the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Huo family, yet my son is treated worse than a bastard born outside!"

With these words, it was clear Li Yunlan had no intention of backing down today.

Old Mr. Huo remained unmoved, sneering, "Then what do you want?"

Li Yunlan, "I want Huo Tingying to give up the Ruling Garden project and hand it over to Jinzhou!"

"Daydreaming!" Huo Jinzhou's face turned cold instantly.

Yun Mu understood.

It seemed Li Yunlan had set her sights on the Ruling Garden project long ago.

Old Mr. Huo remained silent, making no statement.

Li Yunlan took a deep breath, gathering her courage.

"Dad, when Jinzhou made a mistake and you expelled him from the Huo Group, we didn't say a word. Now that it's Huo Tingying's turn, are you going to protect him? All these years, I haven't asked you for anything. This is my only request—I want the Ruling Garden project!"

She had seen the sketches that the wretched woman had drawn of her hometown, which were identical to the Ruling Garden reconstruction plans Huo Tingying had released!

She would never allow that wretched woman's son to leave any trace of her in this world!

Huo Tingying sneered, his voice low and penetrating, "Why are you in such a hurry? You said you are the legitimate wife of the Huo family! Rest assured, my mother wouldn't even look at this mud pit! You're only fit to eat her leftovers! The Ruling Garden, you won't touch it!"

"You!" Li Yunlan's intentions were laid bare, and she turned pale with rage, "Huo Tingying, you are your mother's curse! She's dead, and you won't live long either—"

"Silence!"

Old Mr. Huo roared, then collapsed straight onto the sofa behind him.

"Old man!"

The butler immediately rushed forward to support him.

"Dad!"

"Grandpa!"

Old Mr. Huo pointed tremblingly at Li Yunlan and Huo Tingying, coughing violently, "You... you want to fight, wait until I'm dead! Get out! All of you, get out!"
