    Chapter 254: Demanding Medicinal Herbs

    Emperor Group.

    "Young Master, here is Miss Huo Chun's recent expense report."

    Feng Shuo held up a long list of invoices for reimbursement.

    Since Huo Tingying had ended his cold war with Yun Mu, he was in a good mood and signed the document without even glancing at it.

    "From now on, have Huo Chun deal directly with you; don't bother me!"

    Yesterday morning, that girl sent him over a dozen photos of dresses to choose from. Did she think he had nothing better to do?

    Feng Shuo nodded repeatedly. "I've already informed Miss Huo Chun. By the way, Young Master, has the Young Lady asked you about Miss Huo Chun?"

    Huo Tingying: "No."

    The meeting this time was rushed, and last night they were busy with other matters, so he didn't even think to mention anything about the Huo family or Huo Chun.

    Moreover, these trivial matters of the Huo family didn't concern him much, and whether or not he mentioned them was irrelevant.

    Feng Shuo frowned. "How could that be? The Young Lady asked me about it yesterday. I suspect she might have misunderstood something."

    "Misunderstood what?"

    Huo Tingying lifted his gaze, seeing Feng Shuo's troubled expression, and instantly understood something.

    When Huo Chun sent him messages yesterday morning, Yun Mu must have seen them.

    Before their intimate activities last night, she had subtly asked if he had any other women.

    Damn!

    Huo Tingying wanted to strangle Feng Shuo. "Why are you telling me this now? Why didn't you wait until Yun Mu divorced me?"

    Feng Shuo looked innocent. "You and the Young Lady were together all night, so I assumed you had already talked about it."

    "When would I have had the time to talk about this?"

    "Then what were you two busy doing last night?"

    Huo Tingying raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Shuo with a dark expression. "What do you think?"

    Feng Shuo immediately shut his mouth.

    "Book a flight, the earliest one available."

    Huo Tingying's brow furrowed deeply, feeling that if this matter wasn't clarified, there could be endless trouble ahead.

    So she added, "Bring Huo Chun along too."

    Feng Shuo nodded, "I'll go arrange it right away."

    ...

    After a day of shooting, although Yun Mu tried to control her emotions, she still messed up several times.

    When she returned to the dressing room in the evening, she saw Ji Ming's missed calls and unread messages.

    She opened them.

    "A-Mu, I found out. The woman living in Xingshui Villa is quite mysterious. Tu Chun, 22 years old, from Nan City, dropped out of university halfway last year. Who is she? Xingshui Villa belongs to Huo Tingying, right? Why is this woman living there?"

    Tu Chun...

    It seemed Yun Shuiyao hadn't lied; Huo Tingying indeed had a woman living in his villa.

    Could this Tu Chun be the rumored mysterious woman?

    The second message.

    "Holy crap! Is that bastard Huo Tingying cheating? I also found out that his assistant has been buying her lots of jewelry recently—how extravagant! A-Mu, should I go get justice for you?"

    The third one.

    "A-Mu, say something! Should I keep investigating?"

    After a long silence, Yun Mu replied to Ji Ming.

    "No need to investigate further, I know now."

    She quickly removed her makeup. Just then, Wen Qingqing pushed open the door of the dressing room, followed by a few assistants carrying clothes and holding jewelry boxes.

    "Yun Mu, these are the clothes and jewelry I picked out for you yesterday. Take a look."

    Yun Mu glanced at the jewelry box and recognized the logo from Yun Shuiyao's studio.

    She said, "Keep the clothes, return the jewelry."

    Wen Qingqing was taken aback, "Why? Don't they look good?"

    Yun Mu replied indifferently, "No reason. The owner of this jewelry studio is Yan Qi."

    Yan Qi?

    Wen Qingqing instantly understood. Wasn't that the same as that wretched Yun Shuiyao?

    She apologized, "I'm sorry, Yun Mu. I didn't know the owner of this studio was her. I'll return it right away."

    "It's none of your business. Go tell the liaison for the production team that Emperor Group will cover all jewelry sponsorships for the post-production of this drama." Yun Mu said.

    Wen Qingqing was overjoyed. "President Huo's wife is truly generous!"

    Yun Mu sneered. Since that dog of a man enjoys spending money on jewelry, she would let him spend to his heart's content!

    After removing her makeup and changing her clothes, Yun Mu told Wen Qingqing that she wanted to go for a drive and left by herself.

    However, she didn't expect to find a man in a white shirt and black pants leaning against her sports car, seemingly waiting for her.

    She was surprised. "Si Nanjue, what are you doing here?"

    Yunzhe pointed at the scratch on her sports car from yesterday, which she hadn't had time to fix yet.

    "I came to be your driver. Open the door."

    Yun Mu was stunned. "Yesterday was an accident; I'm not that reckless with my life."

    Yunzhe stepped forward, snatched the car keys from her hand, and unlocked the car.

    "Your mental state isn't great today either. It's not suitable for you to drive alone. Considering we're somewhat acquainted and you're a rare medical genius, I'll drive you to avoid losing a healer like you from this world." Yunzhe impatiently gestured towards the car with his chin. "Get in."

    Yun Mu: "..."

    She sighed helplessly and finally got into the passenger seat.

    "To have the esteemed young master of the Si family as my driver, I must be quite honored."

    Yunzhe smiled. "Then cherish it well."

    With that, he started the car.

    After a simple dinner, Yunzhe drove Yun Mu back to her hotel.

    Before she got out, Yunzhe called out to her.

    "I heard you've cultivated many precious special herbs in the capital. Even before they hit the market, they've garnered significant attention in the medical field, with countless bidders willing to pay any price. Would you be willing to grant me priority purchasing rights?"

    Yun Mu hesitated for a moment before nodding generously. "Sure, which herbs do you want?"

    In truth, most of her herbs were already pre-ordered, but considering he helped perform surgery on Grandpa Yun, she owed him this favor.

    Yunzhe mentioned a few herb names.

    Yun Mu nodded. "No problem. But... the herbs you want are all used to treat blood plasma disorders. Are you treating the patient you mentioned?"

    Yunzhe nodded. "Yes."

    Actually, the so-called patient was Huo Tingying. However, he didn't want to disrupt Yun Mu's current happiness, so he decided to first confirm Huo Tingying's condition and simultaneously develop a treatment for the genetic condition affecting his family.

    "Then I wish you success soon. I'll head back now."

    Yun Mu got out of the car, and Yunzhe returned the keys to her.

    But just then, a black luxury car approached swiftly, like a sleek dragon, and stopped directly in front of them.

    Yun Mu gritted her teeth and her eyes turned cold.

    However, when she saw the man getting out of the car, she was slightly taken aback.

    Huo Tingying?

    The car door slammed shut, and Huo Tingying stepped out, walking briskly toward Yun Mu and Yunzhe.

    His deep, narrow eyes stared straight at them, as cold as if they had fallen into an icy abyss, sending chills down their spines.
