Chapter 16: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 16: President Huo, Your Sweetheart is Crying
Huo Xingjian interrupted her, his eyes cold as he glanced at her. He spoke each word deliberately.
Li Qingxue: “...!”
Are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you’re saying? How can you treat me like this?
Her face twisted slightly, but she tried hard to maintain a pitiful expression.
However, her tears fell as if they cost nothing, pouring down in streams!
“I’m sorry, Xing... President Huo. It’s all my fault. I won’t do it again,” she said with a pitiful tone before lifting her teary eyes to look at Shen Cheng. “Mrs. Huo, I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.”
【Has Huo Xingjian lost his mind? Or did a donkey kick his brain? How could he side with me instead of Li Qingxue?】
【Can’t you see your precious darling is crying her heart out? Why aren’t you rushing over to comfort her? In the original plot, Huo Xingjian couldn’t even bear to see Li Qingxue shed half a tear without feeling guilty enough to slap himself!】
【Li Qingxue was misunderstood countless times by the male lead. Whenever anything happened, she immediately called Huo Xingjian to vent.】
【And Huo Xingjian, this gullible backup option, would go out of his way to support her, clashing with the male lead at every turn.】
【If the male lead had a project, Huo Xingjian would try to snatch it—even at the cost of a financial loss—just to vent Li Qingxue’s frustrations.】
【Yet, no matter what he did, her heart remained with the male lead. All his efforts couldn’t compare to the male lead coaxing her with a single sentence. This pathetic man was destined to remain a backup, always second-best, never capable of turning his fate around.】
【Oh, but calling him second-best is generous! After all, in the end, he didn’t even leave behind a trace of his existence! As for the male and female leads, of course, they had their happily-ever-after.】
【Despite a decade of on-and-off conflicts, they ended up growing old together, surrounded by children and grandchildren. And you, a mere cannon fodder character? Who would even remember you?】
Huo Yushu: “...!!!”
Is my brother really this dumb? Does he end so miserably?
But who is the male lead, anyway?
Sister-in-law, can’t you just say his name instead of always calling him “the male lead”?
Wen Yintong: “...???!!!”
What nonsense is this?
Why does every word Shen Cheng says make sense on its own, but together, they’re incomprehensible?
Huo Xingjian felt his eyelid twitching violently.
Although he already knew his ending and was aware of Li Qingxue’s manipulative intentions, hearing Shen Cheng’s thoughts again still infuriated him.
“Mom, are you okay?” Huo Xingjian ignored Li Qingxue’s pitiful and aggrieved expression, turning to Wen Yintong. “What did the doctor say?”
Wen Yintong snapped out of her thoughts. “It’s nothing serious. Just a fractured right hand and minor scratches on her face. No need to stay in the hospital. Go handle the discharge procedures, and we’ll head home.”
“Alright.” Huo Xingjian nodded, glancing at Shen Cheng. “You and Yushu stay with Mom. I’ll take care of the paperwork.”
Shen Cheng: “...”
Can I leave now?
Li Qingxue looked up at him with teary eyes, appearing heartbreakingly fragile.
However, Huo Xingjian acted as if he didn’t see her at all.
Turning to the nurse beside him, he instructed in a deep voice, “Take Miss Li back to her room.”
“Understood, President Huo.”
“Xingjian...” Li Qingxue called out mournfully.
But Huo Xingjian had already walked away.
Li Qingxue, unwilling to give up or admit defeat, turned her gaze to Wen Yintong. “Aunt Wen, did I do something wrong?”
Wen Yintong’s emotions were complicated. After hearing Shen Cheng’s inner thoughts, she couldn’t believe Li Qingxue could be such a person.
And her son... would they really lead to his demise?
Even though Shen Cheng’s thoughts might not be entirely true, as a mother fiercely protective of her children, she would rather err on the side of caution.
Her son was a prodigy, the pride of both the Huo and Wen families! He stood high above others, and yet, for Li Qingxue, he was manipulated and ultimately met a tragic end.
Although she didn’t particularly like Shen Cheng, she knew Shen Cheng would never harm Xingjian. She simply loved him too much to tolerate his ambiguous relationship with Li Qingxue.
In comparison, Wen Yintong suddenly realized Shen Cheng was far better than Li Qingxue. She wasn’t as detestable as before.
For the first time, Wen Yintong didn’t feel sympathy for Li Qingxue’s tears. Instead, she gave her a cold glance and said indifferently, “Go back to your room. You’ve just woken up and need more rest.”
"Yushu is right. Xingjian is a married man. Even as ordinary friends, you two shouldn't have such close interactions—especially since you're of opposite genders. It’s easy for others to misunderstand," Wen Yintong stated firmly.
"As Xingjian’s wife, Shen Cheng has every right to protect her husband’s reputation."
"If the roles were reversed, I believe you’d make the same choice."
Hearing this, Li Qingxue was dumbfounded, staring at Wen Yintong in disbelief.
Is the world turning upside down?
Why had everyone's attitude toward her changed so drastically?
She wanted to say something more but was wheeled away by the nurse.
Turning back, she cast a pitiful glance at Wen Yintong, hoping to evoke her sympathy once again.
But it was futile.
Her hands, gripping the wheelchair, tightened so much her fingertips turned white, nearly breaking her nails.

How could this happen? Why is everything spiraling out of my control?
No, I must find him and get to the bottom of this.
Shen Cheng stood rooted in place, dazed and bewildered, her mind in a fog.
Why have the attitudes of the Huo family members suddenly shifted so drastically?
"Sister-in-law, are you alright? Do you feel unwell?" Huo Yushu’s concerned voice rang in her ear. "Should we call a doctor?"
Shen Cheng snapped out of it and shook her head. "Oh, I’m fine. It’s just..."
She glanced in the direction where Li Qingxue had left.
I just don’t understand why all of you have changed your attitude.
"Hmph!" Huo Yushu snorted indignantly. "How did I not realize before that Li Qingxue was so manipulative? I must have been out of my mind!"
"Last night, I didn’t shower, so I let all the water in my brain dry out. That’s why I can suddenly see her true colors now!"
"Sister-in-law!" Yushu affectionately hooked her arm around Shen Cheng’s, her face beaming sweetly. "From now on, I won’t hang out with her anymore! A master manipulator like her would only lead me astray!"
"Sister-in-law, I’ll stick with you!"
"Ah, don’t—"
"Yintong, are you alright? What happened? How did the accident occur?" A worried and anxious voice interrupted just as Shen Cheng was about to refuse.
Ah! Here comes Madam Wen’s rival of love and one of the culprits behind her death!
