She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 92: Chapter 092: Be Careful, Or Heaven Might Send A Nemesis to Take You Down
 

Huo Tingxiao spoke with a serious tone, clearly not joking around anymore.

Yunzhan’s face was an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe Huo Tingxiao would have other ‘dogs’ behind his back, stopping just short of calling him a heartless traitor.

“So that’s how it is, you talk to me with this tone, do you? Threatening me, huh?

Huo Tingxiao, it’s not like the old days when you would coax me to come to Sea City, is it?

I was perfectly fine in Shen City, and I came all this way for you, stuck my neck out for you, only to be lectured by you. Is there no justice left in the world?

I’ve seen it before. He asks you to do something, and you’d never refuse. That time I accidentally splashed you with hot water without warning, you gave me such an attitude.

Fine, Huo Tingxiao, I see how it is now. Dogs licking dogs, and in the end, they end up with nothing! Dammit, I’m just too clingy, always following you around, impossible to shake off.”

Huo Tingxiao listened to him rant emotionlessly, his head beginning to ache.

“Don’t talk as if I’ve been unfaithful!”

Yunzhan snorted, this was TM way worse than cheating!

“I’ve been wholeheartedly loyal to you, and this is how you treat me. I feel so wronged.

I don’t care, the best bro you can have can only be me. If you dare say that rotten piece of crap is more important than me, I, I…”

Seeing that he couldn’t finish his sentence, Huo Tingxiao coldly asked:

“What do you want?”

“I TM won’t come to Sea City ever again, it’s a clean break from you.”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao was speechless. He just couldn’t fathom why Yunzhan, after all these years, not only hadn’t progressed at all but had become crazier. The two grown men were acting like something out of a Qiong Yao drama.

“I can’t be bothered with you. Just remember, stay out of this matter.”

Yunzhan narrowed his eyes, appearing to back down on the surface, but inside his head, the gears were turning cunningly.

Hey, leading by obeying while defying in secret, Yunzhan was a master at that.

“Is Yun Xi adjusting well over there with you?”

Unexpectedly, he brought up Yun Xi. Huo Tingxiao paused before answering.

“She gets along fine with Mu Lan.”

Speaking of Mu Lan, a kind of indescribable softness appeared in Huo Tingxiao’s eyes, as if ripe for adding some peach blossom effects.

“Enough, enough, stop looking so love-struck. You’re already a grown man, but you’re acting like a teenager in love.”

“Old?!”

Huo Tingxiao was already sensitive about the slight generation gap with Mu Lan, and now Yunzhan had to rub it in by calling him old to his face.

“What? Don’t like hearing that?”

Yunzhan, blissfully unaware that he was on the verge of tempting fate, smirked mischievously.

“Speaking of which, I find it quite interesting. Your woman seems to be in her twenties, right? You’ve been married for seven years. How come she still has such a strong youthful vibe? Did you spoil her like that?”

Huo Tingxiao averted his gaze with a touch of guilt, not expecting Yunzhan to be so perceptive.

“About that… it’s a long story.”

“Then give me the short version. Are you hiding something from me? Really, Huo Tingxiao, what else are you keeping from me?”

Yunzhan’s relentless probing quickly made Huo Tingxiao concede.

After explaining everything, Yunzhan was silent for a long time, visibly shocked.

“Have you never suspected that she might be faking her amnesia?”

Huo Tingxiao huffed coldly.

“She’s not as idle as you are.”

Yunzhan curled his lip in disdain.

“I’m wondering how you’ve changed so much. It’s funny, really. Weren’t you married for seven years? Why do you care so much all of a sudden about a woman you didn’t fancy before? Isn’t that kind of cheap?”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao scowled, really wanting Yunzhan to shut up already.

But could Yunzhan stay silent? That would probably kill him.

“Alright, alright, consider me misspoken. I’m just impressed, you know? Seven years out there, not even glancing at the other flowers or tasting the other fish, just eating the same dish for seven years. Aren’t you sick of it?”

Huo Tingxiao’s words were like precise stabs with a knife.

“You, a playboy, who lets women pass through without a trace, don’t understand marriage, which requires responsibility. Beware the day fate sends your nemesis to collect you.”

Those words made Yunzhan laugh so hard he almost choked.

“Hahahahaha… My nemesis probably won’t be born in this lifetime.”

“Don’t speak too soon!”

Leaning back on the couch, Huo Tingxiao spoke languidly, while Yunzhan couldn’t help but shiver. Damn it, he didn’t want to give up the forest for a single tree. This life, he’d just live it up!

———–

Upon leaving Yunzhan’s room, the beauty immediately whipped out her phone and dialed a series of numbers.

“Xueqin, guess who I just ran into?”

On the other end of the phone, Sheng Xueqin was completely confused.

“Who?”

“Huo Tingxiao, the guy I met at the bar yesterday. The man I was supposed to meet for a date also knows him. It seems like they’re on good terms. I’m telling you this important piece of news right away.”

“Vivi, go check the name on the front desk.”

“Do you think I’m stupid? Of course, I asked. But they said it’s client privacy and refused to disclose it. I’ll give you the room number; see if you can find out anything. It might be helpful to you. I’m only telling you this. Remember me if you stumble upon any good opportunities, especially… that recent cooperation proposal, you get it?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you.”

After hanging up, Sheng Xueqin’s phone received a new WeChat message.

Looking at the room number above, Sheng Xueqin narrowed her eyes; it was a reserved VVIP suite at a Huo’s hotel. Whoever stayed there must have a very close relationship with Huo Tingxiao.

Who could it be?

She made a call, hoping for some information, but the registered name was—Li Tieniu?!

Such an obviously fake name!

Sheng Xueqin grew even more curious. Who was this person, and why all the secrecy?

“Sis, how’s your foot?”

Looking up to see her cousin, Sheng Xueqin’s face showed her usual gentle smile.

“Much better, Xueqian. I’m so sorry, I heard that you went to see Grandpa Huo for me…”

“Humph, let’s not bring that up. That woman was putting on airs in front of Grandpa Huo. I wanted her to apologize to you, but she spouted nonsense until Grandpa Huo agreed to let her apologize at his birthday party.

I’ve never heard of having to make house calls to apologize before. But since Grandpa Huo said so, I couldn’t say no.

Sis, you’re too kind for your own good; that woman is way too scheming.”

Sheng Xueqin sighed, her face full of helplessness.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s not worth upsetting the peace between our families. Besides… it’s also my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on studying abroad back then, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.

Although Tingxiao did it out of spite, I’m partly to blame too.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xueqian immediately objected:

“That’s not true at all! It’s his fault. Everyone can see how devoted you were to him. It was almost an accepted fact that the two of you would marry. Your decision to study abroad was also to test his attitude.

You’re not at fault here. It was him. Sis, you can’t be so passive. You must fight for what you want!”
