Chapter 289 Ye Shaochen Cheated
Huo Yunxi sat on the floor, his back leaning against the bed, his hair messy and his eyes swollen.
“Yunxi, what’s wrong with you?” Intoxicated, he hurriedly went over and helped Huo Yunxi to the bed. Then, he took out his clothes and draped them over her shoulders. He said with concern, “Yunxi, did you hear what I said?”
“Yunxi, my mother, did you hear what I said?”
However, no matter what they said, Huo Yunxi was still sitting on the bed dumbfounded, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Huo Yunxi’s eyes had always been bright. When had they ever seen her like this, all of them immediately became anxious.
“I’ll go find Ye Shaochen.” Huo Yunzhan frowned, his face ashen with anger.
Although he and Ye Shaochen were also considered brothers, Yun Xi was the one who had watched him grow up. Now that he was wronged to such an extent, he truly felt heartache.
“Don’t go.” Huo Yunxi suddenly said. He looked up at Huo Yunzhan and said with tears in his eyes, “Second brother, don’t go.”
Huo Yunzhan’s face turned ashen, “Tell me, what happened?”
Why are the two of them so awkward?
“Yunxi, tell me, what happened? Why did you quarrel with Shaochen?” Intoxicated said softly, “If there is a misunderstanding, you should also solve it.”
Huo Yunxi shook his head, “There is no misunderstanding. All of you go and rest. I want to calm down.”
“Yunxi, how can you let mom rest a.s.sured like this?” Liu Yan wiped away her tears anxiously. She sat beside the bed and reached out to hug Huo Yunxi into her arms. “Silly child, you are speaking.”
Intoxicated, she frowned. The corner of her eyes saw the phone that had been smashed on the floor. Her mind moved. She bent down and picked it up. She clicked it open. When she saw the photo on it, her fingers trembled with anger.
“Ye Shaochen, how could you do such a thing!” She gritted her teeth and said, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Huo Yunzhan took out his phone and looked at it. His expression immediately darkened, as if he had acc.u.mulated a lot of storms on his face.
“I’ll get him for you.” Huo Yunzhan said coldly, his fingers wishing to crush the phone into powder.
Tao Zui grabbed Yunzhan and stomped his foot anxiously, “Calm down and figure out what happened. Did someone intentionally frame him? I don’t think Shaochen is such a person.”
Everyone had experienced so many things together. Ye Shaochen had always treated Yun Xi well and cared for her. Moreover, he did not show any signs of cheating before. Why did such a thing happen all of a sudden?
Not to mention that Yun Xi couldn’t accept it, even they felt as if they had been struck by a bolt of lightning from the blue.
When Liu Yan saw the picture on her phone, her entire body trembled with anger. However, seeing Huo Yunxi’s painful expression, she could only suppress her anger. She comforted her and said softly, “Yunxi, you should believe in Shaochen before the matter is investigated clearly.”
If no one wanted to believe that Ye Shaochen was such a person.
“All of you, go out. I want to find someone to be quiet with.” Huo Yunxi said in a hoa.r.s.e voice and forced a smile at Liu Yan, “Mom, it’s already very late. You should go and rest quickly.”
Liu Yan opened her mouth and said, “Yunxi, you …”
“Yunzhan, send Mom back to rest first. I’ll stay with her.” Tao Zui pushed Huo Yunzhan and looked at Liu Yan, “Mom, don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
Liu Yan knew that staying was useless, so she could only get up and nod, “Alright, you guys have a chat.”
Only Intoxicated and Huo Yunxi remained in the room, so quiet that they could hear each other’s heartbeats.
“Yunxi, if you want to cry, then cry.” Intoxicated, he reached out to embrace Huo Yunxi and whispered, “Although my shoulders are not thick enough, I can still give you support.”
Her intoxicated words seemed to open the valves of Huo Yunxi’s tears. She hugged her intoxicated hands and cried until she was out of breath, as if she was going to faint at any moment.
“Cry, cry, just cry.” Intoxicated, he comforted Huo Yunxi while patting her back to help her breathe.
After a while, Huo Yunxi let go of his intoxication and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I thought to myself that as long as he denies it, I will believe him. I can pretend that nothing happened, but he …”
“He didn’t deny it?” Intoxicated, he was also shocked. He grabbed Huo Yunxi’s finger and unconsciously exerted force, “Did someone frame him?”
Now that Ye Shaochen was a senior leader of the Huo Corporation, it was inevitable that uneasy employees would want to take advantage of him.
“No.” Huo Yunxi shook his head, and a desolate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “I’m stupid. I don’t know what I should do or even how I should breathe …”
She never knew that a good heart could hurt like that.
Intoxicated, he didn’t know how to describe his inner feelings at this moment.
After living under the same roof for so long, she did not believe that Ye Shaochen was such a person, but Yun Xi said it clearly.
Moreover, Ye Shaochen turned around and left, making her believe it.
“He didn’t say a word?” Intoxicated, he poured a gla.s.s of water for Huo Yunxi and comforted him warmly, “Perhaps he didn’t understand what was going on, just give him some time.”
Huo Yunxi raised his head and shook his head with tears in his eyes, “He said ‘I’m sorry’ to me.”
I’m sorry
He admitted that he had wronged him.
Intoxicated, she was stunned and her mind buzzed. She asked herself over and over again, how could this be? How could this be?
Ye Shaochen betrayed Yun Xi?!
“If he doesn’t say anything, I can still find a reason to comfort myself.” Huo Yunxi laughed softly, but it was even more heartbreaking than crying. “But he said, ‘I’m sorry,’ what should I do?”
Intoxicated, Huo Yunxi’s eyes turned red, and he put Huo Yunxi into his embrace. He patted her back gently and said, “Yunxi, we will all accompany you all the time. I promise.”
“I feel uncomfortable in my heart, as uncomfortable as a knife.” Huo Yunxi murmured, “Why would a good person change so easily?”
He didn’t even give her the slightest bit of buffer time?
The night was destined to be long and torturous.
The next day, just as Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing entered the house, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Liu Yan was sitting on the sofa wiping her tears.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Xia Luobing hurriedly went over and sat down next to Liu Yan. She asked with concern, “Is it comfortable?”
Huo Yunqi frowned as he walked over and said in a deep voice, “Where are Yun Xi and the others? Why aren’t they home?”
“Yun Xi and Shao Chen can’t go on.” Liu Yan said faintly, “What do you think of that child Shaochen? Why did he cheat?”
Xia Luobing was so scared that she almost jumped up from the sofa. Ye Shaochen cheated? It can’t be!
She raised her head to look at Huo Yunqi, who was also shocked.
“Mom, is there a misunderstanding?” Xia Luobing asked uncertainly, “We all know Shaochen. He is not such a person at all.”
Liu Yan shook her head and heavily sighed, “He admitted it himself.”
The air in the living room froze together, followed by a long silence.
“Did he admit it?” Huo Yunqi narrowed his eyes. “I think that’s even more impossible!”
Having known Ye Shaochen for so many years, he knew him well.
How could he suddenly cheat without even a single explanation?
Liu Yan was stunned and asked, “You mean Shaochen didn’t cheat? But why didn’t he explain?”
“Mom, maybe he has something to hide. Let’s not rush to a conclusion on this matter.” Xia Luobing held Liu Yan’s hand and comforted, “I’ll go upstairs to see Yunxi first.”
Last night, they should have returned, so that they could see Shaochen and understand the situation more clearly.
Liu Yan sighed, “Go and see her. She hasn’t eaten anything since last night.” Liu Yan wiped her eyes and sighed repeatedly, “This place is getting more and more unpeaceful.”
Xia Luobing pursed her lips, stood up and went upstairs, pushed open Huo Yunxi’s bedroom door, and Tao Zui was sitting beside the bed talking to her.
There were thick curtains in the bedroom. Even though the sun was shining brightly, no matter what, the demons would not be able to enter.
“Huala!”
Charlotte walked over without saying a word, stretched out her hand to open the curtains, and then turned to look intoxicated, “Bring her a set of clothes.”
Huo Yunxi was still wearing the pajamas he had changed into last night. He looked dispirited and his face was scorched as if he was a drug addict.
“Alright.” Intoxicated, he nodded, got up and left, went to the cloakroom to get his clothes.
Huo Yunxi looked at Xia Luobing blankly. His lips moved, but before he could say anything, tears began to fall. “Sister-in-law, he betrayed me.”
She clearly loved him so much, how could he betray her? How could that be?
“Yunxi.” Charlotte sighed and sat on the edge of the bed holding her hand. “You’ve been married for so many years, don’t you know him?” She whispered.
Huo Yunxi smiled bitterly, “No matter how much you know, you can’t compare to his acquiescence.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe him, he had personally extinguished her trust.
What should she do?
“We all know Shaochen. He is not an irresponsible man.” Xia Luobing whispered, her eyes flashing. “We need to trust him.”
Huo Yunxi grabbed Xia Luobing’s arm with both hands and shook his head desperately. Tears rolled down his cheeks, “No, it’s not like this!”
It was precisely because she understood that she was so frightened.
It was because she could feel that he was really going to stay away from her, and that kind of unfathomable feeling almost drove her crazy.
“Yunqi will go find Shaochen. Don’t be anxious.” Xia Luobing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and grabbed Huo Yunxi’s arm to comfort him, “Now, you need to go wash up and change your clothes immediately. Don’t let everyone worry.”
Love is really a torment, sometimes like a life-saving panacea, sometimes like a life-threatening poison.
“Sister-in-law, I, I want to be alone for a while.” Huo Yunxi’s lips trembled, “I don’t want to go out.”
If she didn’t leave this place, she could deceive herself into having a nightmare.
She felt that when she walked out of the room and faced everyone’s pity, she could no longer deceive herself.
In the end, she still didn’t want to admit it.
“Have you ever thought that Ye Shaochen might have encountered something particularly difficult, so he had no choice but to do so?” Xia Luobing said her guess boldly and stared fixedly at Huo Yunxi. “If that’s the case, shouldn’t you cheer up as a wife?”
Huo Yunxi’s eyes lit up and he grabbed Xia Luobing’s arm, “Sister-in-law, really?”
“It’s possible.” Xia Luobing slowly said. He lifted the blanket on Huo Yunxi’s bed and whispered, “Wash up first. We’ll talk about other things later. Mom is scared by you.”
Huo Yunxi nodded, “Alright, I’m obedient.”
