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

Chapter Fifty-Three: Watch how I deal with you!

"Mr. Huo, now that you understand, just do as I say. I won't interfere in your affairs with Gao Yunxin, as long as you meet my requirements." I looked at Huo Kangnian casually.

"I never expected you to be so cunning at such a young age." Huo Kangnian sneered, "Fine, I agree."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Huo." I smiled. "Is there anything else I can say for Mrs. Huo?"

"No need," Huo Kangnian said with a long face.

I looked at him with a smile: "Yes, if you want to use Gao Yunxin's affair to make a fuss in the future, why would you say it now?"

"You know best." Huo Kangnian walked into the ward.

I followed closely behind.

"Husband?" Gao Yunxin's expression indeed became much kinder.

She's so smart, she must have guessed that I have something that could be detrimental to her.

"It's alright, let's go." Huo Kangnian said in a deep voice, "Xixi, you need to take good care of your injuries. The Huo family is the one who wronged you in this matter. Tomorrow I will force Huo Xiao to divorce you, so that you will both be free."

"Divorce?" Gao Yun's voice suddenly rose.

"Alright, stop yelling, come home with me!" Huo Kangnian said with a stern face.

Gao Yunxin was very uneasy, not knowing what I had said to Huo Kangnian.

She had no choice but to obediently go back with Huo Kangnian.

Mu Xi looked at me in surprise: "How did you do that?"

"Just a little trick," I said with a smile. "Aren't you happy?"

"I'm so happy." Mu Xi sighed, "If Huo Kangnian intervenes, my parents won't have anything to say. But will Huo Xiao agree?"

“He wouldn’t dare refuse. Huo Kangnian knows his son best; he’ll definitely find a way to get him to agree,” I said with a half-smile.

Mu Xi looked me over carefully: "Yan Yan, I suddenly realized that you've become so amazing, and you were quite intimidating when you were speaking just now."

"After all, people grow and mature," I replied with a smile.

I stayed with Muxi in the ward all afternoon.

We talked about a lot of things.

As evening approached, someone suddenly rushed in from outside.

She looked at us anxiously: "Mu Xi, did you arrest my cousin?"

"Su Ran, don't be impulsive!" Huo Xiao followed closely behind.

Seeing that jerk makes me furious.

"How can I not be impulsive? My cousin is missing. How am I going to explain this to my aunt?" Su Ran sobbed.

But both Mu Xi and I could tell she was faking her tears.

But Huo Xiao was very anxious: "Su Ran, don't cry, it will break my heart if you cry your eyes out."

Mu Xi and I rolled our eyes together.

"Are you two putting on a play here?" I said sarcastically. "What kind of show is this? You two are making a complete fool of yourselves."

"You!" Huo Xiao glared at me.

However, he was still shaken.

After all, I taught them a lesson.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Do you know this is a hospital? Mu Xi hasn't recovered yet. What are you doing here?" I stood in front of the hospital bed.

"Su Ran's cousin, Lian Zheng, has disappeared." Huo Xiao shouted, "Mu Xi, did you arrest her?"

"Huo Xiao, if I had that ability, I wouldn't have let him hurt me time and time again." Mu Xi said coldly, "You have no evidence, yet you bring people to question me. What are your intentions?"

Huo Xiao was in the wrong.

"What else could he be up to?" I scoffed. "Isn't it because he's incompetent and can't investigate properly, but he wants to prove he's capable, so he brought people to you? A capable man would have already taken care of things; why would he need a woman to worry about him?"

Huo Xiao gritted his teeth.

"Su Ran, why don't you call the police?" Mu Xi's eyes were sharp: "You have no evidence, but you want to pin the blame on me. Don't you just want Huo Xiao to suspect me and hate me? You don't need to do this at all, because my hatred for Huo Xiao is even deeper than yours. I will not spend my life with him."

"Mu Xi, what did you say?" Huo Xiao said unhappily, "Marriage is not a game. Do you think you can just get a divorce whenever you want?"

"Heh, you're making it sound like you're reluctant to divorce me. Su Ran, did you hear that? It's not that I don't want to, it's that someone else doesn't want to. You shouldn't have come to me," Mu Xi said sarcastically.

"Mu Xi, that's enough! I can't divorce you because of Grandma," Huo Xiao said angrily.

"Really?" I chimed in, "In that case, Su Ran, you should go find Huo Xiao's grandmother. You've tried to find Mu Xi so many times without success. Are you just picking on a pushover?"

Su Ran bit her lip: "I just want to know where my cousin is."

“Didn’t you hear me clearly? We don’t have the power to deal with your cousin.” I glanced at her. “Maybe he’s done a lot of bad things and is being retaliated against. If you’re in a hurry, you can call the police. Nobody’s stopping you.”

Su Ran remained silent, looking at Huo Xiao pleadingly.

Huo Xiao understood her meaning and immediately threatened, "Mu Xi, if Su Ran's cousin hasn't returned within three days, see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, he picked up Su Ran and left.

Mu Xi pounded the bed with her fists in anger: "There's no reasoning with someone like Huo Xiao!"

"If you can't explain it, then don't." I said lazily. "Reasoning is for those who understand reason. It's better to deal with this kind of person directly."

Mu Xi asked in surprise, "Use force?"

"Don't worry about this. Just focus on getting better. I'll take care of everything." I patted her head.

That evening, I sent bodyguards over to protect Mu Xi.

I have a dinner party to attend.

The principal called personally; I had no choice but to go.

There were several familiar faces at the dinner table.

Xu Zhen was there.

What surprised me most was that Gu Heng was there too.

"Xiao Shen, you're here. Please have a seat," the principal said with a smile.

Only the seat next to Gu Heng was empty.

It was obviously intentional.

I walked over and said, "I had something to take care of, so I'm late."

"Little Shen is so busy as soon as he got back, he must be working so hard." Xu Zhen said sarcastically.

"Yes, if I were Professor Xu's age, I definitely wouldn't want to retire. I would continue to shine in my position, after all, there are so many things to research." I replied with a smile.

Xu Zhen's face was gloomy.

He knew I was mocking him for being old, lacking research passion, and having dried up his inspiration.

He's just living off his past achievements.

That little bit of savings isn't really anything special.

"Let me introduce you. President Gu is one of the biggest investors in our School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially Professor Xu's projects, which he strongly supports." The principal smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, President Gu said that you can come to her if you have any difficulties. Your laboratory should have been replaced a long time ago. You should quickly toast President Gu and improve the laboratory environment."

I sneered: "Principal, the lab is so old, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? I just came back with my team, and not only were we not assigned the newest lab, but we were given the oldest one. Now they want to renovate it, but they want me to come and drink with them. What does that mean?"
