Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

"The second thing is that the Huo family will withdraw from all of our cooperation projects with the Xu family, not one at all."

Huo Zhenting's voice echoed in the restaurant, instantly creating a tense atmosphere. He turned to look at Xu Zhiyuan, his tone revealing an unwavering determination:

"As for the reason, Lao Xu, I won't say it here in front of the younger generation. I just want to say that I am fully aware of everything that happened in the past and what you are doing now."

Xu Zhiyuan's face turned pale instantly; he understood the meaning behind Huo Zhenting's words.

Wang Qing's face was also deathly pale. Her heart was filled with fear and unease. She couldn't imagine what a miserable life she would face if the company went bankrupt.

Xu Xiaofan was still glaring angrily at Liu Shiyin. She couldn't understand why Huo Muchen would choose Liu Shiyin instead of her. She felt she was a hundred times better than Liu Shiyin and deserved Huo Muchen's love. However, she didn't realize that love isn't a competition, but rather the mutual attraction between two hearts.

Huo Muchen played with Liu Shiyin's small hand, tilted his head slightly and looked at the three people opposite him with very different expressions. He had a half-smile on his face, as if all of this was within his expectations.

“Zhenting, I understand everything you’ve said. I was indeed… I was wrong. But the Xu family business is the culmination of half my life’s work. Withdrawing all the cooperation agreements is like cutting off our lifeline.”

Xu Zhiyuan's voice carried a hint of pleading, trying to salvage some of the situation.

"Furthermore, almost everyone knows that Mu Chen and Xiao Fan are a couple. Now that Mu Chen is going to marry another woman, what will happen to our Xiao Fan? And you all know what I lost to save you,"

Hearing Xu Zhiyuan's arrogant words, Huo Zhenting shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disappointment and disdain.

Seeing that his father's words received no response, Xu Xiaofan unreasonably took over the conversation:

"That's right, my dad is right! Everyone knows I'm Mu Chen's future wife. If Mu Chen marries someone else, how will I face people? Everyone will laugh at me!"

Huo Muchen could no longer listen; he looked at Xu Xiaofan with a cold gaze:

"Xu Xiaofan, I have never made any promises to you, let alone any talk of a future wife. Can you please stop deceiving yourself?"

Xu Xiaofan's face turned red with anger at Huo Muchen's words, but she couldn't find a reason to refute them.

"Old Xu, you're wrong, terribly wrong. What have you lost? You've lost nothing; in fact, you've gained a lot. But you're blind to the truth, abandoning what you shouldn't have. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. What you've lost isn't just a business partner, but your bottom line and principles as a human being. This situation is your own choice, and the consequences you must bear."

Huo Zhenting's voice grew even sterner as he turned to Xu Zhiyuan, his gaze piercing:

"Even now you're still standing up for Xiao Fan, but have you ever thought about Shi Yin's feelings? When things aren't fair, do you think that only by sacrificing the kindest person can things calm down? That kind of logic is wrong, and it's an injustice to kindness!"

“You’ve always been like this, and more than twenty years have passed without you changing. But I want to tell you that the world is changing, and people’s hearts are changing too. Kind people are no longer willing to compromise and sacrifice endlessly. Ruoxin and I will never allow such a thing to happen again, and Mu Chen will not allow it either.”
