Chapter 19 The Vicious Jin Who Forcibly Steals Another Woman's Boyfriend (19)
In the second semester of her junior year, Chang Ning only had a few classes left, and she would occasionally encounter Shi Yu in class.
At first, she looked at her with a mixture of jealousy and resentment, but then, for some reason, her expression suddenly changed.
He became arrogant, his eyes filled with disdain, and the only thing that remained unchanged was that he still looked so annoying.
Once, as they brushed past each other, Chang Ning was deliberately bumped into hard, almost stumbling and falling. She angrily shouted, "Hey! What's wrong with you?"
Shi Yu seemed to only just notice, "Oh, sorry, you can get bumped into on the street, looks like you're in for some bad luck!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chang Ning couldn't chase after her and bump her back, so he went home in a huff.
Upon returning home, Chang Ning suddenly heard a rumor that the Huo family's long-lost child had been found. Chang Ning was shocked: "Found?"
Mr. Huo was a prominent figure in his time, and his only son, Huo Jiaze, did not disgrace his reputation. He studied abroad in his early years, achieved excellent results, and his abilities after returning to China were evident to all.
Later, he married Ye Huixin, the second daughter of the Ye family, who was his equal. Although it was an arranged marriage, the two had a very good relationship. They had been together since they were studying abroad and were a rare example of a truly loving couple in a wealthy family.
Not long after getting married, he gave birth to a son. Huo Jiaze was enjoying both career and love success, and almost no one doubted that the Huo family would reach new heights under his leadership.
But the good times didn't last long, and no one expected that the eldest grandson of the Huo family, who was so highly anticipated and loved, would disappear.
Everyone was horrified!
Not to mention the tight security at the Huo family's main residence, every member of the Huo family is accompanied by bodyguards when they go out. How could they possibly lose their eldest grandson?
But things can be absurd sometimes. Huo Jiaze and Ye Huixin had a deep affection for each other, and their bond only grew stronger after they had a child.
At that time, the power of the Huo family was still in the hands of the old man, and all matters were decided by the old man. The two often went on private dates without the bodyguards.
One time, the nanny said that the young master was crying incessantly, so the two of them took the child out as well.
Upon learning this, the bodyguard captain immediately sent men to follow, but in that short time, the young master disappeared.
The couple broke down in tears, and the old man sent many people out to search, but to no avail.
The initial assessment is that someone took the child away when the couple wasn't paying attention, but it's impossible to know whether it was done by a competitor or by human traffickers.
Back then, surveillance wasn't as advanced as it is now. If someone took a baby and disappeared into the crowd, it was like a drop of water flowing into the ocean. Finding them would be incredibly difficult.
The couple was devastated. They reported the case to the police and personally led a team to many places, but after several years, they still had no news of the suspect.
What happened after that is not clear to everyone. All that is known is that the Huo family lost its third generation, and Huo Jiaze and Ye Huixin gradually appeared in public less and less.
The former high spirits seemed to have vanished in an instant.
But now, twenty years later, that child whose fate was uncertain has actually been found?
Chang Xiao nodded in confirmation.
That basically means it's a done deal. Chang Ning sighed, "Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo can rest easy now."
I used to see this couple when I was a child, but I haven't seen them for many years. They didn't even attend Mr. Huo's 70th birthday celebration.
Chang Xiao remained noncommittal, glanced at his silly younger sister, and pondered whether he should explain things more clearly.
Then I heard her ask, "By the way, where was that child found? What are they doing now?"
In terms of age, he is actually the same age as Chang Ning, and a few months older than her.
But ever since he was lost, he has remained the same child in Chang Ning's memory.
They should have been living a life of luxury and wealth, I wonder how they are doing now.
If things are going well, that's fine, but if they're not, that's just too miserable. If it were her, Chang Ning felt she could cry her eyes out!
Seeing the sympathy on her face, Chang Xiao said ambiguously, "Their invitations have already been sent. You'll know when you go and see for yourself."
Not long after Old Master Huo's 70th birthday, the Huo family held another banquet.
The location was still the Huo family's old mansion, but this time the scale was even more grand, and all the servants who came and went had beaming smiles on their faces.
There were more guests than last time, and it seems that those who were not eligible to attend in the past were also invited this time, which shows that the Huo family values their eldest grandson who was lost and found again.
Changning's second-generation friends also came, and Changning and Fang Xuejiao huddled together and talked quietly.
Fang Xuejiao looked at the other side with disdain: "They came because they smelled it!"
There stood seven or eight young ladies, each with exquisite makeup and dressed in their finest attire, occasionally letting out a burst of silvery laughter.
However, they have one thing in common: they all dislike each other.
Even wealthy families have their own circles. If that group of people is one circle, then Chang Ning and Fang Xuejiao are in another.
Besides being Fang Xuejiao's ally and naturally standing on her side, another reason was that those people didn't think much of her, believing she was all looks and no brains.
Chang Ning didn't know their opinions, but she knew their attitude was unfriendly, and she didn't usually hang out with them.
Hearing Fang Xuejiao say this, he asked, "What does it taste like?"
What do you mean by "taste"?
Fang Xuejiao sometimes felt that what those people said was quite right.
She said, "This time we've found the real prince. Why are those people so excited? Aren't they just trying their best to get close to him?"
It's not uncommon for wealthy families to arrange marriages, but there are different levels of these marriages. Compared to marrying into a third-rate wealthy family, even a fool would know which to choose.
In the past, they certainly wouldn't have been so presumptuous, but now, that young master has lived away from home for twenty years, without the influence of a wealthy family or receiving elite education since childhood, and it's still unknown what he's become.
And this is their opportunity!
They might not be unable to reach a prince who is mediocre in terms of knowledge, ability, and character if they tiptoe!
Once they marry into the Huo family, who cares what the Crown Prince is like? They marry for status and position.
Chang Ning seemed to understand but not quite, "What's the point? Don't they ever date?"
Fang Xuejiao looked speechless. This girl is definitely love-struck, isn't she?
"What about your boyfriend? Are you still dating him?"
Chang Ning said, "But he's been so busy lately that he hasn't been paying any attention to me."
Just as Fang Xuejiao was about to speak, the banquet host came out, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then stepped aside to make way for the Huo family head at the back.
This is a rare sight to see the entire Huo family appear in public together. The old man was dressed in a formal Tang suit, with Mr. and Mrs. Huo on the left, who had not been seen in public for a long time, and an unfamiliar young man on the right.
At this moment, everyone realized his identity: the Huo family's eldest grandson, who had been missing for twenty years!
Fang Xuejiao looked at that person, her mouth slowly opening wide, and after a long while she finally found her voice: "I know what your boyfriend is busy with."
That unfamiliar young man had a familiar face; it was Chang Ning's boyfriend, whom she had met twice!
At this moment, Fang Xuejiao had only one thought in her mind: "My mother's judgment is really accurate!"
You can tell at a glance that he's no ordinary person!
