Chapter 39: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

Chapter 39: Huo Xingjian Has Romantic Tendencies, but He’s Not an Animal


Upon hearing the word “divorce,” the eyes of the Li sisters flickered with different emotions.


Li An An was ecstatic, almost jubilant.


Finally, this wretched Shen Cheng had decided to take the initiative to divorce. Once Brother Xingjian divorces her, she will undoubtedly have her chance.


Li Qingxuei, on the other hand, allowed a subtle smile to tug at the corners of her lips.


Even though Shen Cheng had gone crazy, hitting her and thoroughly ruining her image, she had nevertheless managed to sow discord in their relationship.


“Shen... Mrs. Huo, I think you’ve misunderstood the relationship between Mr. Huo and me,” Li Qingxuei quickly feigned urgency and spoke with a flustered expression. “There really isn’t anything between us.”


“Mrs. Huo, please don’t—”


“Tch!” Shen Cheng sneered, interrupting her. “Miss Li, while Huo Xingjian may be somewhat brainless and a bit scummy, he’s not that scummy—certainly not to the level of being an animal!”


“You, lying there in a hospital bed like a dead person, with tubes sticking out all over your body, only capable of breathing through your nose—what’s the difference between you and a corpse?”


“Even he wouldn’t stoop so low as to be aroused or act on such a thing!”


“So rest assured! On this point, I trust that he isn’t that much of an animal.”


The words left Li Qingxuei stunned, her already pale face devoid of any remaining color.


Her cheeks visibly twitched with suppressed emotion.


“Shen Cheng, how can you say such vile things about Brother Xingjian!” Li An An angrily glared at Shen Cheng.


“Am I being vile?” Shen Cheng smirked mockingly, then suddenly feigned realization. “Oh, I see. You mean to say that if Huo Xingjian didn’t take advantage of such an opportunity, he’s worse than an animal?”


Huo Xingjian: "…!!!"


The urge to silence her was almost overwhelming.


Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his irritation, looking directly at Shen Cheng as he spoke slowly, “Rest assured, such a thing is absolutely impossible.”


Huo Yushu nodded in agreement. “Sister-in-law, my brother isn’t that type of person. He’s very particular—only someone like you can catch his eye.”


“Oh,” Shen Cheng replied flatly, leaving the matter there.


[What kind of person he is has nothing to do with me. I’m not planning to stay with him.]


[Huo Xingjian, why won’t you just agree to the divorce already?]


[Am I not hitting hard enough? Maybe I should beat Li Qingxuei to a pulp—leave her rolling on the ground, looking like a pig, or half-dead?]


[But no, no! Then he’ll stop giving me money. That wouldn’t be worth it. My goal isn’t just to divorce but also to take his money!]


[Yes, catching him in the act is key. Finding solid evidence! Only then can I get more out of the settlement. Li An An is useless; it’ll have to be Li Qingxuei, the master manipulator.]


[Think, think! A plan!]


As these thoughts raced through her mind, Shen Cheng's beautiful eyes darted calculatingly between Li Qingxuei and Huo Xingjian.


Huo Yushu cast her brother a sympathetic glance that seemed to say, Good luck dealing with this.  


Huo Xingjian’s brows furrowed tightly, his mood visibly foul.


“Brother, Sister-in-law and I came to discuss something important with you,” Huo Yushu said, stepping forward with a cheerful smile.


“You see, I’m about to graduate soon. I don’t want to be a freeloader right after graduation; I want to start my own business. Sister-in-law has been married to you for three years now, spending that time as a full-time housewife taking care of you. I think it’s such a waste of her talent. She mentioned wanting to open a studio. Brother, would you support her?”


“Wait, I never—” Shen Cheng instinctively tried to explain.


This wasn’t her idea; it was Huo Yushu’s. She didn’t want to take the fall for it.


Before she could continue, Huo Xingjian turned his gaze toward her. “What kind of studio do you want to open? If I recall correctly, you studied design. The company’s design department happens to be hiring—”


“No need!” Shen Cheng interrupted, rejecting him outright. “It has nothing to do with me, and I’m not interested!”


[Do I look like I’m out of my mind? Why would I want to get more entangled with you? After the divorce, once I’ve got the money, I plan to leave without a moment’s delay!]


[What happens to you after that has nothing to do with me! Even if you end up with nothing left of your corpse, or if your beloved digs out your organs and eyes, I wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it.]


[You’d probably even be willing to let it happen.]


Huo Xingjian’s lips twitched slightly in response.


“Then I’ll fund you to open a studio,” he said, looking at her with surprising patience.

Hearing this, and seeing the expression on his face, Li Qingxuei was utterly stunned.


Was this really the Huo Xingjian she knew? Why did he seem so unfamiliar?


She had been insulted and beaten by Shen Cheng, and instead of standing up for her, he now had a doting expression, offering to fund Shen Cheng’s studio?


Not to mention, he had just transferred four million yuan to her without batting an eye!


Li Qingxuei felt her brain struggling to process everything. Almost instinctively, she looked up at Huo Xingjian, her eyes watery and full of grievance. “Xingjian, I… I’m feeling unwell. My head is dizzy, and my whole body hurts. Could you… take me back to the hospital?”


Tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, ready to fall, making her look pitiful and heart-wrenching.


In the past, this act had always worked wonders on Huo Xingjian.


Yet now, he acted as though he hadn’t heard her, not even sparing her a glance.


Casting a cold look at Li An An, he waved over a nearby security guard.


The guard quickly approached. “Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?”


“Help Miss Li escort her sister back to the hospital,” Huo Xingjian ordered coldly.


The guard nodded repeatedly. “Understood, Mr. Huo.”


The Li sisters were left in stunned disbelief, unable to react.


Then, in a warm tone, Huo Xingjian spoke again, “Let’s head up to my office to discuss this further. We can talk about the studio’s location and other details there.”


Shen Cheng: “...!”


Before she could respond, her wrist was firmly grasped. “Or, I could just transfer you fifty million, and you can decide everything yourself.”


Fif... fifty million?!


Everyone was dumbfounded.


“If it’s not enough, I’ll transfer more,” Huo Xingjian said calmly.


“Xingjian, I really can’t hold on any longer. Could I come upstairs with you?” Li Qingxuei’s weak voice interjected.
