Shock! I fell for the paranoid Mr. Huo after he misread my thoughts

So her intuition all along was not wrong. Jiang Muye was definitely not just a partner to Xiaoxi, or even just a friend.

"Jiang Muye sent this email at this time. Does it mean that he has also been investigating Lu Zhixing?"

Handing the phone back to Huo Chenchao, after reading the email, Jiang Muwan felt that everything made sense.

"Yes, and he should have known about Xiaoxi and Lu Zhixing."

"No wonder he kept asking me about Xiaoxi when we were in City C last time, but never took the initiative to contact her. He probably doesn't know how to face Xiaoxi, how to deal with the current situation, right?"

"Maybe." Huo Chenchao put down his phone and pinched his swollen brows. In fact, in the current situation, not to mention Jiang Muye, even he, the biological brother who watched Huo Chenxi grow up, felt confused.

He was ready to cut the Gordian knot, but he couldn't predict how Huo Chenxi would react.

He closed his eyes, imagined all the possibilities, and weighed all the pros and cons. After a long time, he opened his eyes again.

Seeing Jiang Muwan who had been sitting beside him and accompanying him silently, Huo Chenchao's originally cold gaze softened again, and he slightly extended his hand towards her.

Understanding what he meant, Jiang Muwan placed her hand directly in his palm. Then she felt the hand holding her exert a slight force, and she fell into his arms.

"Have you... figured out what to do?"

"Hmm." Huo Chen rested his chin on her fair shoulders and nodded. "I've thought about it. It's best to cut the Gordian knot. I'll arrange everything tomorrow, and let Xiaoxi and Lu Zhixing make peace the day after tomorrow."

"Then...should I accompany Xiaoxi or go with you the day after tomorrow? Do we need to explain to our parents?" Jiang Muwan tilted her head slightly in Huo Chenchao's arms.

He rubbed her little head. With her by his side, Huo Chenchao felt a little calmer.

"Come with me. I can't let you be the one who brings Xiaoxi here. As for my parents, I will explain to them after everything is settled."

"Okay." Jiang Muwan knew that Huo Chenchao always made well-considered decisions. Moreover, with her around as a burden, at least she could guarantee that Lu Zhixing was telling the truth. She still had three more Truth or Dare skills that she hadn't used.

......

Two days later, in a small wooden house at the Deep Sea Wharf, Huo Chen, Jiang Muwan and Lu Zhixing sat across a small wooden table.

"Boss Huo, you cut off my Lu Corporation's funding chain and forced me to find you, just to let me come and admire the love between you and Mrs. Huo?"

After the two confronted each other, it was Lu Zhixing who spoke first. Although he had a smile on his face since he entered the door, his gloomy aura could not be concealed no matter what.

Facing Lu Zhixing's provocative words, Huo Chenchao said nothing, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation on his face.

He just calmly threw a stack of information onto the small wooden table. The sound of the thick stack of information hitting the table was chilling.

Looking at the stack of papers in front of him, Lu Zhixing frowned. "Mr. Huo, do you want to discuss cooperation with me? Or do you want to tell me in front of me that you have investigated me thoroughly?"

After all, he is the male protagonist of the original book, so Lu Zhixing still has some intelligence, but he just selectively logs off when facing Huo Chenxi and Si Qiaoqiao.

"Aren't these what you've always wanted?" Not wanting to waste any more words with Lu Zhixing, Huo Chenchao went straight to the point.

"Your father's cause of death, the truth behind Lu's bankruptcy, your mother's role in the incident, Si Qiaoqiao's illness, and... all the secrets you've hidden from Xiaoxi. It's all here. I think you won't refuse this information no matter what."

The cause of your father's death. As soon as Huo Chenchao said these words, the smile on Lu Zhixing's face could no longer be maintained. Even later, with every extra word Huo Chenchao said, his expression became uglier.

How did Huo Chenchao get this information in its entirety? Jiang Youran and Bo Jinzhi had clearly promised that with the Jiang family around, Huo Chenchao would not be able to find out.

So how come this information is in Huo Chenchao's hands now?

Looking at Lu Zhixing's incredulous expression, Huo Chenchao sneered, "Are you wondering how I got this information?"

"Not only did I get it, I also found witnesses. It doesn't matter if you don't want to see the information. I can ask them to tell you one by one."

Witnesses? There were actually witnesses to what happened back then? Huo Chenchao launched a series of punches at once, leaving Lu Zhixing with no chance to fight back. Even now, he didn't know what to say first.

Looking at his appearance, Huo Chenchao winked at Assistant Lin beside him, and within two minutes, Assistant Lin brought in a middle-aged woman and a lame old man wearing a mask.

"Mom? Why is it you?" When Lu Zhixing saw the middle-aged woman's face clearly, he stood up from his chair. "Huo Chenchao, why did you bring my mom here?"

"Of course, it's because she has something to tell you, and you really don't recognize who is behind her?"

Huo Chenchao glanced at the masked old man calmly. After receiving her gaze, the old man slowly took off the mask on his face. A familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Lu Zhixing.

"Fu...Uncle Fu?" Lu Zhixing couldn't help but walk forward and get closer to the man, his eyes fixed on his face. "Are you Uncle Fu? But...but didn't you die in that car accident with my dad in order to protect him?"

"It's me, young master, I..." Uncle Fu was leaning on a single crutch, trembling and speaking incoherently.

"What's going on? Mom, wasn't it you who claimed the bodies of my dad and Uncle Fu? Could it be that my dad is still alive?"

Hearing what Lu Zhixing said, Mother Lu closed her eyes. In fact, she knew it was all over when Huo Chenchao sent someone to find her with Uncle Fu.

"Master, please don't ask her. The master did die, but it was not because the Huo family suppressed him into bankruptcy, nor because the Huo family killed him for a piece of land, but because he really acted like Wu Dalang."

What? What is Uncle Fu talking about? Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Lu Zhixing's pupils dilated several times.

And what followed, from Uncle Fu and his biological mother, as well as the black and white words on the document, all continued to overturn Lu Zhixing's understanding of the past twenty years.

He never thought... he had hated the wrong person for twenty years, and even lost his own feelings for this unfounded hatred.

It turns out that the Huo family has never done anything to let down the Lu family.

It turned out that his father’s car accident was not arranged by the Huo family, but was planned by his mother.

It turned out that the two people who were really separated by a blood feud were his father and mother. In order to get revenge, his mother not only cheated on her husband, but also killed his biological father the year he just learned to speak.

Lu Zhixing didn't know how to react. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He lost all his strength in an instant and fell back into the chair.

At this moment, what he was thinking about in his mind was not his father, not his mother, and not Si Qiaoqiao, but... Huo Chenxi.
