After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Fifty-Two: Using a borrowed knife to kill?

After being given the drug and released, Lian Zheng kept pressing his fingers against his throat, trying to vomit it out.

I sneered: "Don't bother, this medicine takes effect as soon as it goes down your throat."

Lian Zheng looked at me in horror.

“Chop off his hands,” I said casually. “Then throw him to the snakeheads and let them take good care of him.”

"Yes!"

I went outside.

"No! Please, let me go!" Lian Zheng finally panicked.

Unfortunately, he asked the wrong person.

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to me, Su Ran will definitely go after Huo Xiao, and Huo Xiao won't let you get away with it!" Lian Zheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, his mouth was quickly gagged.

Xia Zhe asked worriedly, "President Shen, won't this cause trouble?"

"I've worked so hard for so long, if I can't even protect my friends, how can I talk about dealing with the Gu family?" I questioned. "If you're so timid and can't do anything right, then I might as well stay in Yuncheng and never come out again, and never think about revenge."

Xia Zhe: "..."

"Besides, he's just the brother of a mistress, who cares about him?" I sneered. "Do you really think Huo Yi would turn against me for a stranger?"

“That shouldn’t be the case.” Xia Zhe was very clear-headed: “Even if Su Ran were in trouble, he wouldn’t get involved, unless it’s Huo Xiao.”

"So what are you worried about?" I asked, stepping downstairs.

Xia Zhe followed.

Then they took me back to the hospital.

I arrived at the ward.

There were two middle-aged people in the ward.

One male and one female.

I immediately guessed they were Huo Xiao's parents.

Huo Kangnian and Gao Yunxin.

Gao Yunxin sat on the edge of the bed, holding Mu Xi's hand: "Xi Xi, Huo Xiao went too far this time. We have already taught him a lesson, so don't be angry."

"Mom, I'm not angry. Getting angry is bad for your health." Mu Xi said obediently.

Gao Yun smiled with satisfaction: "You're the most sensible child. Don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely stand up for you."

"Mom, thank you. I know you're good to me, but Huo Xiao and I really can't go on like this anymore." Mu Xi was still a little weak.

"Xixi, Huo Xiao is just a child who doesn't know any better. Please give him another chance, okay?" Gao Yunxin was being a bit unreasonable.

I pushed open the door and entered with a smile: "Xixi, I'm back. Do you have guests?"

Huo Kangnian and Gao Yunxin both looked surprised.

"Mom and Dad, this is my friend, Shen Yan." Mu Xi introduced, "Yan Yan, these are my parents-in-law."

"Oh, it's Mr. and Mrs. Huo." I walked over and said, "I thank you both on her behalf for coming to see Xixi."

"Miss Shen, you flatter me. Xi Xi is our daughter-in-law, isn't it only right that we come to see her?" Gao Yunxin looked at me meaningfully.

I smiled and said, "Yes, you treat Xixi as family, so you should at least stand up for her after this, right?"

Gao Yunxin frowned: "Miss Shen, you may not know this, but Huo Xiao..."

"Mrs. Huo, you're joking. How could I dare to blame Huo Xiao? I was referring to Su Ran." I smiled and said, "In the end, it was she who seduced Huo Xiao, and Huo Xiao was also bewitched by her. If it weren't for Su Ran, perhaps you would already be holding your grandchildren."

Huo Kangnian and Gao Yunxin are not fools; they understood what I meant.

"The Mu family doesn't know about this yet. If they knew their daughter had been bullied like this, I wonder how they would react?" I glared at them. "I didn't ask you to lay a hand on your own son. It's just Su Ran. Doesn't the Huo family have any recourse?"

"Are you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work?" Gao Yunxin frowned.

“I never do anything illegal.” I narrowed my eyes. “But you must have a way to make Su Ran back down, right?”

Gao Yunxin wanted to say something more.

Huo Kangnian stopped her, then looked at me and said, "Miss Shen, why don't you explain yourself clearly?"

"Fine." I crossed my arms. "You've known about Huo Xiao and Su Ran for so long. If you really protected Mu Xi, this wouldn't have happened. I don't believe you can't handle a little Su Ran. It's just that you dote on your son and can't bear to scold or beat him. You spoil him, and Mu Xi has a good temper, so you coax her with sweet words but don't do anything practical. You want to have your cake and eat it too? I'm telling you, no way!"

“Our feelings for Mu Xi are genuine,” Gao Yun thought to himself.

"Heh." I sneered, "Mrs. Huo, you insist that I make things clear, don't you? You've bought Su Ran a lot of things, haven't you? You've given her plenty of dresses and designer bags. I have CCTV footage of you two going to luxury stores together. Do you want to see it?"

Gao Yunxin's face turned green.

Mu Xi frowned: "Is this true?"

"I did that to appease her, otherwise..." Gao Yunxin explained.

"Otherwise what? It's just that she has a photo of you, Mrs. Huo." I looked at her darkly.

"What photos?" Huo Kangnian frowned.

"It's nothing." Gao Yunxin's face was grim.

"What exactly is it?" Huo Kangnian asked, somewhat annoyed.

“Mr. Huo, if you want to see it, I can give it to you, but you must agree to one condition.” I lowered my hands, placed one hand on the bedside table, and tapped it lightly twice.

"What conditions?"

"Tomorrow, force Huo Xiao to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and divorce Mu Xi." I said coldly.

"What?" Huo Kangnian frowned.

I squinted.

“Let’s talk outside.” Huo Kangnian frowned deeply.

"it is good."

I followed Huo Kangnian out.

staircase.

He frowned: "What's your purpose in hinting that I should come out?"

"They say there's only one or countless times when someone cheats. I wonder how many times Mr. Huo has done this?" I sneered. "You're still the honorary chairman of the Huo Ao Group. Once the scandal breaks, you'll have to leave the company completely. I wonder what benefits your other illegitimate children will gain from your departure?"

"You!" he exclaimed in shock.

“I know you’ve known for a long time that Gao Yunxin and her first love have been entangled in a relationship. The reason you haven’t made a move is because you wanted to use this to make her acknowledge her illegitimate child, right?” I looked at her sarcastically. “Tell me, if I were to expose your shameful secrets today, what would your most beloved youngest son get?”

"What exactly do you want?" Huo Kangnian asked anxiously.

"I didn't intend to do anything with you. I told you, you forced Huo Xiao to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce Mu Xi, and I will never mention your affairs again," I said calmly.

Huo Kangnian said in a deep voice, "I thought I had kept it a secret very well. Even Huo Yi didn't know. How did you find out?"

"It seems Mr. Huo has forgotten that when your first love was pregnant with her second child, didn't she find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to help with the pregnancy?" I looked at him meaningfully.

He was shocked: "It's you?!"

I looked at him coldly.

"You were wearing a mask at the time, so I didn't recognize you. No wonder you looked familiar when I saw you just now!" Huo Kangnian finally remembered.
