Chapter 41: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 41: Sisters-in-law Team Up to Milk Huo Xinglang
[Sizzle, sizzle! The sparks of love are flying!]
[Clap, clap, clap! Huo Xingjian, that scummy man's heart just shattered into pieces.]
[Oh no! My White Moonlight girl turns out to be my brother's beloved!]
[Ugh! Such a trashy melodrama!]
Shen Cheng shivered, rubbing her arms as goosebumps popped up all over.
Huo Xingjian’s eyelid twitched. He had grown accustomed to Shen Cheng occasionally mocking, criticizing, and ridiculing him.
But her references to "White Moonlight" and "precious darling" were profoundly irritating.
Yes, he admitted to feeling guilty toward Li Qingxue these past two years and to showing some care for Li An An.
That was because Li Qingxue’s accident happened due to him.
But being a "lovestruck fool," obeying Li Qingxue’s every word? Absolutely not.
Huo Xinglang stared at the people in the elevator, momentarily stunned.
Then he immediately composed himself, offering Huo Xingjian a knowing smile. "Xingjian, congratulations!"
He glanced at Li Qingxue, saying, "Miss Li has finally woken up. Now you can put your worried heart to rest."
"When did Miss Li wake up? The bond between you two must be strong—she woke up and came straight to find you at the company."

"You don’t know when she woke up?" Huo Xingjian asked nonchalantly, leading Shen Cheng out of the elevator hand in hand.
Huo Xinglang’s face stiffened, and a flicker of panic and dread crossed his eyes.
What did he mean by that? Did Huo Xingjian know something? Why else would he say such a thing?
"Xingjian, are you misunderstanding something?" Huo Xinglang stepped forward hastily, trying to explain. "How could I possibly know when Miss Li woke up? Did someone say something to you?"
His gaze swept sharply toward Li An An, who was standing behind the wheelchair.
Li An An broke into a cold sweat under his piercing stare.
"Xinglang, why are you so nervous?" Huo Xingjian glanced at him indifferently. "I just heard that the day Miss Li woke up, you happened to be at the hospital."
"And didn’t Aunt see Miss Li at the hospital and learn that she was already awake? Why didn’t she tell you?"
"Brother! Aunt didn’t have time to tell our cousin!" Huo Yushu chimed in. "Aunt has been staying at our house lately, taking care of Mom."
"She hardly had time to see our cousin, let alone inform him that Miss Li had woken up."
"If she had, cousin certainly wouldn’t have remained unaware. If cousin knew, he surely would’ve gone to visit Miss Li."
"After all, they’re old acquaintances! But no worries, it’s not too late to know now. Look, cousin is so flustered, he’s even misspeaking out of excitement!"
Huo Yushu smiled sweetly at Huo Xinglang, maintaining her usual air of naivety and innocence.
"Xingjian, I..."
"Brother, look at this!" Huo Yushu interrupted, feigning indignation. "My brother and sister-in-law are happily married, yet you stand here saying my brother has a deep connection with Miss Li. What’s that supposed to mean?"
"People who don’t know might think my brother and Miss Li have something going on! Are you trying to sow discord between my brother and sister-in-law?"
"Brother, even though you’ve never married or even had a girlfriend, and you grew up without parents to show you what love looks like, that doesn’t mean you can go around sabotaging others’ marriages!"
"If my sister-in-law believed your malicious words and fought with my brother, causing him to lose focus on the company, leading to declining performance and financial issues for employees, wouldn’t that be your fault?"
"If that happened, how would you explain yourself to the thousands of employees? Even resigning wouldn’t fix the damage you caused!"
[Wow, when did Huo Yushu’s mouth become so sharp? Her arguments are so organized and logical!]
[She even escalated it to company performance and employee finances. Hahaha... Look, Huo Xinglang, the supposed male lead, is utterly stunned!]
[He probably never imagined Huo Yushu could blow things out of proportion like this.]
Huo Yushu was inwardly delighted.
Being praised by her sister-in-law was no small feat!
She pulled Shen Cheng aside and sternly said to Huo Xinglang, "Cousin, please apologize to my sister-in-law immediately!"
"Otherwise, I’ll think you’re deliberately trying to ruin my brother’s marriage—or worse, that you have feelings for Miss Li and are standing up for her, targeting my sister-in-law on purpose!"
Huo Xinglang froze, then forced a self-deprecating smile. "Yes, yes, Yushu is right. I misspoke without thinking."
"Sister-in-law, please don’t get angry with Xingjian. Otherwise, I’d feel terribly guilty."
"Your love for Xingjian is evident to all of us. No one doubts your feelings for him."
"Xingjian and Miss Li are just friends. Please don’t misunderstand."
[Look at that. Instead of clearing things up, he’s fanning the flames.]
If this had been the old Shen Cheng, she’d have caused a scene on the spot.
But since her awakening, Shen Cheng had stopped caring about such trivial matters.
Now, money was all that mattered!
Make money, make money, make money!
With money, everything becomes smooth sailing. Who cares about relationships?
"Oh," Shen Cheng responded indifferently. "Of course, I believe what Cousin said."
"But Yushu isn’t wrong. Speaking so casually about such things is a bit improper, don’t you think?"
"If apologies were enough, why would we need the police?"
With that, she gave Huo Xinglang a subtle, enigmatic smile.
Huo Xinglang was baffled. What did this have to do with the police?
Then Shen Cheng slowly said, "I think the best apology is action. Since Cousin’s carelessness caused such a significant loss to the company, you should naturally make up for it."
"Don’t you agree, Cousin?"
"So, Sister-in-law, what compensation do you mean?" Huo Xinglang asked, puzzled.
Shen Cheng smiled lightly. "Since you’ve caused declining company performance and employee financial losses, shouldn’t you cover the gap?"
"Not much, just 50 million! Cousin, will it be a bank transfer or a QR code payment?"
She pulled out her phone and presented her payment QR code to him. "QR code payment is more convenient!"
