Taking several deep breaths, Xu Ru Yun finally calmed down.
Was it Su Qi?
Impossible!
At that time, Su Qi was clearly at the scene and was taken away by Huo Ting Yun.
If it wasn't Su Qi, then who was it?
Who was the mastermind behind this?
Xu Ru Yun stumbled into the Xu family. A servant looked at her with concern, "Madam, I've made you bird's nest and milk. Would you like to have some before resting?"
"Serve it and bring it to me."
Xu Ru Yun took it and went upstairs.
Xu Lin Yun was still crying. As Xu Ru Yun pushed the door open, Xu Lin Yun quickly wiped away her tears and stood up, "Mom..."
"Sleep, everything will be better tomorrow. Trust your mother."
Xu Ru Yun placed the warm bird's nest and milk by the bedside and handed Xu Lin Yun a spoon.
"Mom, what happened tonight..."
Xu Lin Yun's voice was still choked with sobs.
"What happened tonight will not be leaked. No one knows about this, so you don't have to worry."
"Mom... Why, why? Ting Yun has changed. He wasn't like this before. He used to have eyes only for me, wishing to give me the best in the world. But now, look at his reaction. Su Qi has caused such a scene, and he doesn't refute anything. I'm pregnant with his child, but this month, he's seen me fewer times than he's seen Su Qi. Tell me, has he discovered..."
Xu Lin Yun abruptly stopped crying.
"Don't worry. You are carrying Ting Yun's child. He won't shirk his responsibility. I'll go to the Huo family tomorrow to demand an explanation..."
Xu Ru Yun felt immense heartache as she comforted her daughter, while fiercely cursing Su Qi a thousand times in her heart.
If she had known Su Qi was such a troublemaker, she shouldn't have kept this menace.
She should have sent Su Qi to the underworld, just like Li Cui Ping!
The door was ajar. Xu Lin Chuan stood outside the door. Hearing the voices inside, he lowered the hand that was about to knock and stood there for a while before returning to his room.
He opened the drawer of his desk and took out some files.
One file proved that Su Qi was the girl Huo Ting Yun had been looking for as a child, his first love, his white moonlight.
Another file contained the truth about the biological father of the child in Xu Lin Yun's womb.
He had found the male model. Because he had received a hush-money, the model's lips were sealed tight, not uttering a single word.
But Xu Lin Chuan still found the surveillance footage and collected enough evidence.
These two files should have been given to Huo Ting Yun.
Both for public and private reasons, he still hadn't given them to Huo Ting Yun.
He loved Su Qi and didn't want to let Su Qi return to Huo Ting Yun's side.
And then there was Lin Yun. She had already developed true feelings for Huo Ting Yun.
And the woman Huo Ting Yun loved, from beginning to end, was never Lin Yun, but Su Qi.
He stood there for a long time until his legs were numb and his hands ached. Only then did Xu Lin Chuan put the files back into the drawer. Feeling restless, he grabbed his jacket and went to the hospital. Before leaving, he forgot to lock the drawer.
The next day, Xu Ru Yun got up for breakfast and went to knock on Xu Lin Chuan's door. She thought the child was still sleeping. When she opened the door, she found the room empty. She checked her phone and realized Xu Lin Chuan had returned to the hospital last night.
"This child, really. Can't even stay home for an extra day."
Xu Ru Yun sighed and muttered as she entered the room. The things on the desk were scattered. Xu Lin Chuan usually didn't allow servants to clean his room, so Xu Ru Yun would tidy up for him. She accidentally bumped the drawer and wanted to close it, but caught sight of the files inside.
They seemed to be hidden, sealed in a kraft paper envelope.
Xu Ru Yun paused for a moment, then opened the drawer and took out the file.
After a moment of hesitation, she opened the file.
There were two files. It took Xu Ru Yun more than ten minutes to read them carefully, and her face had lost all its color.
Her hand trembled, and the two files scattered on the floor.
How could this be?!
"Mom, aren't you eating breakfast?"
Xu Lin Yun's voice sounded from the hallway.
Xu Ru Yun quickly crouched down to gather the files from the floor, put them back into the drawer, and then opened the door to go out.
"Mom, you look a bit unwell. What's wrong?"
Since the incident last night, Xu Lin Yun had become unusually sensitive.
"It's nothing, your brother's room was just too messy! Go and eat!"
After breakfast, Xu Lin Yun went upstairs to rest. Xu Ru Yun drank a glass of ice-cold water before going upstairs again and pushing open Xu Lin Chuan's room door. Although she didn't want to believe it, the evidence was conclusive. No matter how much she didn't want to believe it, she had to.
But why, if Lin Chuan knew this long ago, why didn't he tell her?
At the Huo family residence, at ten o'clock in the morning, even though it was the cold early winter, the plants in the Huo family courtyard were meticulously cared for, lush and green. The view was extremely pleasant.
Qin Xue had noticed Huo Qing Rang leaving early. She asked the servants, who said he had gone for a check-up. Qin Xue didn't think much of it, planning to go out after a meal. After breakfast, it was already half-past ten. Just as Qin Xue was about to leave, a servant came in to announce.
"Madam, Madam Xu is here. Would you like to see her?"
"Madam Xu?"
Qin Xue frowned, but still signaled the servant to invite her in.
After all, even if the deal fell through, there was still goodwill. Madam Xu was Madam Xu, especially now that Xu Qing Feng was hospitalized and this incident had occurred. She naturally had to come to seek justice.
Qin Xue stood up and went to the hall. Xu Ru Yun was already sitting on the sofa. Qin Xue smiled slightly and quickly walked forward, "Madam Xu has arrived just in time. I've just received some excellent Hangzhou Longjing tea. It's wonderful to have such good tea in this weather."
She sat down in front of Xu Ru Yun and gestured for the servant to bring the tea.
Qin Xue personally brewed the tea. Xu Ru Yun was not in a hurry. After the tea was brewed, she slowly began to speak, "Last night's incident, although the heat has been withdrawn, it has still affected our Lin Yun's reputation. Our Lin Yun and Ting Yun have been together for a long time. It was your Huo family who broke the promise first. Now that it has come to this, how does Madam Huo plan to handle it? My daughter is carrying the Huo family's flesh and blood..."
Qin Xue couldn't help but get a headache. "Ting Yun is grown up. I haven't been involved in the company's affairs or his matters for a long time. I can't control Ting Yun's personality. I know you're anxious, but I can't do anything about the children's affairs. Perhaps you should give birth to the child first, and then we can handle the rest slowly."
"Handle it slowly? My daughter is an innocent girl. Now, because of Huo Ting Yun, her reputation is ruined, she's infamous, and even her career prospects are destroyed. Madam Huo, you also have children. If you had a daughter who was treated so unfairly, how would you deal with it?!"
