Ling Nuan was taken aback for a moment.
Why was Huo Linsheng here?
Her first reaction was to run, but since Huo Linsheng was knocking on the car window, it was obvious that he was looking for her...
Ling Nuan pursed her lips, calmed her emotions, and rolled down the car window.
"Mr. Huo? What are you doing here?" Ling Nuan feigned surprise.
Huo Linsheng casually propped his hand on the car window, bent down to meet Ling Nuan's gaze, and said, "Xu Shichen called me and said that you were in trouble here."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan was first surprised. "Why did he even contact you?" Then, feigning anger, she said, "Mr. Huo, the Qi family has gone too far!"
Without waiting for Huo Linsheng to ask, Ling Nuan described in detail all of Qi Yang's misdeeds.
It was the truth.
Ling Nuan wasn't afraid of Huo Linsheng checking.
She spoke with righteous indignation and added a bit of appropriate grievance.
Ling Nuan was almost moved to tears by her own acting, but Huo Linsheng remained as calm as still water.
Even after Ling Nuan finished speaking, he still politely asked, "Finished?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
Ling Nuan nodded silently, feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.
Huo Xiao was willful but brainless. Shen Shaoqing was smart, but Ling Nuan understood him well enough to grasp his weaknesses.
Even though they were now powerful, Ling Nuan thought that although it would be troublesome for her to take revenge, it wasn't impossible.
But when it came to Huo Linsheng...
She had no confidence, none at all.
Huo Linsheng tapped on the car window twice. "Get out of the car."
Ling Nuan didn't move. She looked up at him pitifully with her eyes.
Huo Linsheng remained unmoved. "Let's talk outside. It'll be more fitting for the atmosphere."
Ling Nuan: "..."
Damn your so - called atmosphere.
But under Huo Linsheng's stare, Ling Nuan had no choice. She pretended to casually throw her phone into the seat crevice and then opened the car door and got out.
Huo Linsheng glanced at her little move but ignored it.
When she stood in front of him, Huo Linsheng glanced at her and instructed, "Follow me."
Then he walked forward.
Ling Nuan didn't dare to slip away, so she could only obediently follow.
"Mr. Huo, where are you taking me?" Ling Nuan carefully probed.
Huo Linsheng: "To avenge you."
Ling Nuan was taken aback.
She never expected this answer.
"You came all the way here just to avenge me?" Ling Nuan asked again.
Huo Linsheng: "Otherwise? Did I come out to enjoy the moon?"
Although his words were blunt, Ling Nuan's mood instantly brightened.
However...
Thinking of the scene she saw in the video just now, if Huo Linsheng wanted to avenge her, there probably wouldn't be much of a chance today.
Longxin Hotels were spread all over the country, and there were several in the capital city. The one they were in was the best - located one.
The surrounding facilities were also complete.
When Huo Linsheng led Ling Nuan to the first floor and just reached the front desk, the sound of an ambulance rang out at the door.
Huo Linsheng didn't care. He looked at the front desk. "Check Qi Yang's room number."
The receptionist was taken aback. "Qi Yang?"
"Yes." Huo Linsheng repeated patiently. "Check it."
The receptionist recognized Huo Linsheng. Although it was against the rules, when Huo Linsheng stepped in, the rules had to give way. But...
The receptionist carefully pointed at the doctors who were now running towards the elevator hall with a stretcher at the hotel door. "Mr. Huo, you'll see Qi Yang coming down soon."
Huo Linsheng: "?"
Huo Linsheng was rarely surprised. Then he turned to look at Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan blinked innocently at Huo Linsheng. "Mr. Huo, what's wrong?"
Huo Linsheng remained silent.
Since Qi Yang was coming down, he might as well wait here.
The doctors acted quickly. Before long, they carried Qi Yang down on a stretcher. Shen Shaoqing and Huo Xiao followed behind.
The former had a dark face, while the latter looked annoyed.
Neither of them had the slightest intention to pay attention to what was going on around them. They just followed the doctors and got into the ambulance together.
Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Nuan. "Shen Shaoqing and Huo Xiao?"
Ling Nuan looked confused. "I didn't know they were here either. I only saw Young Master Qi at that time. Why would Young Master Qi be with them?"
She quickly shifted the question back.
Huo Linsheng glanced at her but didn't say much. He just grabbed her hand and followed.
The ambulance drove fast. Huo Linsheng drove a bit slower.
By the time they arrived, Qi Yang had already been sent into the operating room.
Huo Xiao looked at the operating room, and worry was evident on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Shaoqing mocked, "Don't worry. Your beloved won't die."
Hearing this, Huo Xiao got angry. "Shen Shaoqing, can't you talk nicely? You beat Qi Yang like this. You'd better think about how to explain it to the Qi family when they come!"
Between Qi Yang and Shen Shaoqing, Huo Xiao naturally cared more about Shen Shaoqing.
She was afraid that Qi Yang's matter would cause trouble for Shen Shaoqing.
But at this moment, these words sounded in Shen Shaoqing's ears as if Huo Xiao was worried about Qi Yang and was mocking him.
He immediately stood up and glared angrily at Huo Xiao. "It's them who need to explain! Hooking up with someone else's fiancée. Is this the upbringing of the Qi family?"
"Qi Yang has poor upbringing. Do you also want to say that I have poor upbringing?" Huo Xiao shouted at Shen Shaoqing.
"I've known Qi Yang for so many years. If I really wanted to be with him, where would you have come in? Can't you use your brain and think properly?"
Shen Shaoqing scoffed. "Is there anything better than having an affair secretly? Dare you say that there's nothing going on between you two?"
Huo Xiao was so angry that she immediately raised her hand and slapped Shen Shaoqing.
"Shen Shaoqing, how much effort have I put in and how much have I sacrificed to be with you? And this is how you see me?"
Thinking of all she had sacrificed, Huo Xiao began to feel aggrieved.
Shen Shaoqing was so angry that he laughed.
Effort? Sacrifice?
The noble young lady of the Huo family lowering herself to be a mistress. The sacrifice was indeed great.
The words on the tip of his tongue were about to come out when suddenly Huo Xiao said, "You'd better calm down first. Think carefully about what you should say to me after you calm down!"
The anger that had flared up was instantly doused by Huo Xiao's haughty attitude.
Not to mention that nothing had happened between Huo Xiao and Qi Yang. Even if something had really happened, even if the child in Huo Xiao's belly was Qi Yang's, what could he, Shen Shaoqing, do?
If he wanted to rely on the power of the Huo family, he could only swallow all of this.
Shen Shaoqing was so憋屈 that his eyes turned red.
He didn't argue with Huo Xiao anymore, nor did he apologize to her. Instead, he found a place to sit down and seemed to fall into his own world.
Huo Xiao was extremely angry.
Ling Nuan and Huo Linsheng arrived just in time to hear the essence of their argument clearly.
"Is this - a love triangle?" Ling Nuan looked like she was watching a show.
Huo Linsheng turned to look at her and replied, "You're wrong."
Ling Nuan was puzzled.
"To be more precise, it's a love quadrangle." Huo Linsheng specifically pointed at her.
Ling Nuan immediately countered. "Strictly speaking, it should be called a love pentagon."
Following his example, she pointed at Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows. "My understanding was wrong. It's a love triangle today."
Saying that, he stepped aside and pulled Ling Nuan along, making way in the corridor.
"Yangyang! My Yangyang!" Supported by others, Old Madam Qi rushed to the scene quickly with a group of Qi family members.
