Chapter 118 I'll be bringing my fiancée tonight
Gu Heng gave a cold laugh: "Everyone lives behind a mask, including you, Shen Yan. You also have times when your heart is restless but you can't face it, right?"
I paused.
A name flashed through my mind.
“You’re right, everyone lives behind a mask, but that’s no excuse to hurt others.” I kicked Gu Heng: “Don’t drag me into your family’s internal strife. You poisoned the medicine I prescribed, trying to drag me down with you. Gu Heng, you shouldn’t have done that!”
"So you want to sue me?" Gu Heng sneered. "So what if you find out? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to do it myself? Do you really think I'm unprepared?"
"Are you going to let go or not?!" I glared at him.
"Shen Yan, you look quite good glaring at me like that." Gu Heng said, like a pervert, "How about we find a place to finish what happened that day?"
"Gu Heng, do you really think no one dares to control you?" I looked at him angrily.
Gu Heng smiled smugly: "You're just a university professor. Even if Li Shuochuan is backing you up, can he really care about something like this?"
"He can't, but I can." Huo Yubai appeared out of nowhere.
He kicked Gu Heng from the side.
Gu Heng raised his fist.
Unexpectedly, four bodyguards immediately surrounded him.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yubai put his arm around my shoulder: "Are you hurt?"
"No." I shook my head.
Huo Yubai looked at Gu Heng with a cold indifference.
Gu Heng sneered: "Shen Yan, if you want to go in and collect evidence, you can try and see if they will tell you anything."
He turned and left.
I scoffed, "What an idiot."
Huo Yubai frowned: "Where's Liang Hui who's with you? Isn't he with you?"
“He has his own life too.” I pushed his hand away.
Huo Yubai frowned deeply: "I'll send people to protect you."
"No need to trouble yourself." I shook my head: "After today, Gu Heng will definitely not dare to provoke me again."
Huo Yubai frowned.
I flexed my wrist, which had been hurt by Gu Heng's grip, and said, "I'm leaving."
"Aren't you going in?" Huo Yubai asked in surprise.
“I didn’t plan to go in anyway.” I smiled coldly. “Gu Heng thought I was there to find something to use against him.”
"I'll take you home." Huo Yubai pulled me into the car.
"I have a car." I want to get out of the car.
He locked the car door: "I'll send someone to drive your car back."
After saying that, he started the car.
"Huo Yubai, do you know how domineering you are?" I accused. "I hate people like you the most!"
Huo Yubai's eyes were slightly cold: "Is this the first day you've met me?"
I:"……"
I glared at him, then picked up my phone and posted a Weibo message.
Weibo quickly exploded.
[As expected of a power struggle within a wealthy family; they're resorting to such ruthless methods to fight for the inheritance.]
[They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, but Gu Haoran actually harmed his own son. That's too cruel.]
[Gu Heng is disgusting too. He poisoned his own half-brother. Is he even human?]
Are you guys kidding me? It's just a recording, and you actually believed it?
[This Weibo account was just created; it's obviously someone who dislikes the Gu family and is deliberately trying to smear them.]
If it's fake, the Gu family can call the police.
[I support the Gu family reporting the incident to the police. Some people are simply jealous of the wealthy and deliberately spreading rumors; this should not be tolerated.]
I also think we should call the police and investigate thoroughly. After all, what if it's true? Then things will get interesting.
Soon, the Weibo post became a trending topic, and the incident made headlines on major apps.
Huo Yubai also happened to drop me off at home.
"I'm getting out of the car." I unbuckled my seatbelt.
He grabbed my wrist, saw the bruises on it, and loosened his grip a little.
I frowned: "Aren't you going to let go?"
"My head hurts." He let go of his hand and covered his head.
I:"……"
Could you make it any more fake?
But for some reason, I actually felt like laughing.
Gu Heng was right when he said that we all live behind masks.
"Stop pretending." I opened the car door. "Thank you for saving me today. I'm not angry with you. Go home."
"Shen Yan, there's a dance tonight, can you come with me?" Huo Yubai hesitated for a moment: "Because I have to bring a dance partner, if I don't, they'll definitely try to force any woman on me."
“You can find one or hire one; there are plenty of people who will do things for money,” I said.
"Do you think I would bother you if this trick worked?" He sighed. "Huo Fei arranged one for me before, but that woman pretended to be my girlfriend and fooled a lot of people. I had to clean up the mess. I really don't have the energy for that."
"I didn't expect that."
"I won't ask you to do anything. Just stand by my side." Huo Yubai's eyes were deep. "Okay?"
"Okay," I agreed.
He was delighted: "I'll have someone bring the dress over in a bit, and then I'll come pick you up."
"Yeah." I nodded.
A slight smile appeared on Huo Yubai's handsome, pale face.
I really don't know what he's so happy about.
I got out of the car and walked into the villa.
-
Half past five in the afternoon.
Huo Yubai came to my house to pick me up.
Today he wore a navy blue striped suit with a peak lapel and double-breasted buttons, with a beige shirt with silver thread stitching underneath, and a bow tie, looking refined and dignified.
The gift he gave was a navy blue, pearlescent long dress with thin straps. The bodice was adorned with dazzling rhinestones, and the skirt shimmered with a pearlescent glow. It was incredibly beautiful, like a dress conjured by a witch in a fairy tale, full of dreamlike charm.
They're wearing matching outfits again.
“Let’s go.” He held out his hand.
He knew I was wearing high heels and would be unsteady on my feet.
I raised my hand, and on my wrist were a pair of tinkling jade bracelets that made a clear, tinkling sound.
"Wait a minute." I pointed to the beige coat hanging next to me.
He walked over, picked it up, and then draped it over my shoulders.
"We can go now." I took his arm.
He smiled gently, "Tonight I am absolutely the happiest person."
I said, speechless, "This is happiness?"
"I'm very happy." He looked at me earnestly.
"I really envy you," I said with a sigh.
That's happiness.
But where is my happiness?
Huo Yubai looked at me with a profound expression and said, "You will be happy too."
I twitched the corner of my mouth.
I followed him out of the villa.

Tonight's banquet is being held at a manor near Hopeless Mountain.
The entire estate was used for banquets, so you could see people everywhere.
Although the weather was a bit cold, many people were still outside.
The owner of the manor has created many unique features in the courtyard, which attracts people who enjoy taking photos.
I took Huo Yubai's arm and walked into the banquet hall.
Everyone turned to look.
"They're such a perfect match."
"Who are they?"
"The man is Huo Yubai, the president of the Huo Group. He said he would bring his fiancée tonight, and this might be her!"
