Chapter 20: Making Amends for Her
e certificate in his palm was crumpled into a ball."Shen Xi, what's wrong with you" Bai Yihuan shook Huo Shenxi's arm and asked in a coquettish voice, "Are you even listening to me"Huo Chenxi came bac...Su He had finally escaped the entanglement of Zhao Binrui, and at the restaurant entrance, she encountered Huo Yirou, who seemed hesitant and uncertain.
"The pharmacist said that this medicine would affect the endocrine system and be bad for your body."
"Taking this medicine, isn't that considered murder"
It shouldn't be that lucky, winning once. This is absolutely unnecessary to eat!
Looking at Huo Yirou struggling, Su He reached out and took the medicine box: “Don't eat if you don't want to.”
" Huo Yirou dejectedly lowered her head: "What if I'm pregnant, his family will even more insist on him marrying me. I don't want a marriage that is not willingly entered into, that way neither of us would be happy!"
Su He tightened her grip on the medicine box.
Marriage, it's really not something one person can achieve happiness through alone. Isn't she a living example of that
Realizing Su He's stunned expression, Huo Yi Rou suddenly woke up, realizing what she had said, wishing she could bite off her own tongue.
"I'm so hungry, let's go get some food!" Huo Yirou took the medicine box back from Su He's hand and said casually, "You're at least the beloved daughter of the Shen family now, you should treat me to a good meal!"
Su He took out the black card Shen Mu Yin had given her and said with a smile, "You choose the place, I'll treat you. My brother pays."
Huo Yirou envied and said, "It's so good to have an older brother!"
At No. 1 Villa, Huo Yirou couldn't help but sigh with emotion as she witnessed the three brothers showering Su He with love and affection. She thought to herself that Su He had finally tasted the sweetness after all her hardships.
Thinking of how everyone in the Huo family treated Huo Yirou except Huo Chenxi, Su He said with heartache: "My brother will also be your brother from now on."
The two of them chose the most luxurious seafood restaurant in City A, but unexpectedly, the private room they had booked over the phone was taken.
The manager looked apologetic: "Miss Huo, I'm so sorry. I thought you were with the eldest mistress."
"How could I possibly eat with such trash" He Suwen, arms crossed and leaning against the door, looked down on them with disdain. "A star-crossed child who brings misfortune to their parents, worthy of eating here They don't even know their place."
Huo Yirou's face paled, as if recalling a painful memory, her entire being seemed to lose its vibrancy.
Su He stepped forward to protect her, fighting back without showing any weakness: "She doesn't know how much she weighs, do you I estimate you are around 250 pounds, am I right"
He Suwen is on the heavier side and dislikes it when people comment on her weight.
Su He's sarcastic words, a double entendre, enraged her so much that all the fat on her body was trembling.
He Suwen, exasperated, wanted to teach Su He a lesson. Thinking back to the last time he almost broke his finger, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What are you, some nobody The Huo family's business is none of your concern! You little punk!"
Su He chuckled and said, "Who let you go out this morning without brushing your teeth Your mouth smells so bad, it's making me nauseous!"
He could neither defeat nor insult He Suwen. Feeling a surge of anger and blood rushing to his head, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted with a roll of his eyes.
Su He pulled Huo Yirou back a step, raised her hands, and looked at the manager with an innocent face: "It wasn't me, I didn't do anything, it has nothing to do with me!"
He stared blankly.
When He Suwen bullied Su He before, she thought Su He was dull and taught him how to fight back.
With this level of combat power, where does she need to teach
Su He wasn't incapable, it turned out she was making concessions for Huo Chen Xi!
The manager, fearing for someone's life, immediately called an ambulance.
The commotion at the door finally caught the attention of the other woman in the room.
"What happened" Jian Xin-Jun, dressed in designer clothes, came over and saw He Su-Wen fainted. Her face changed drastically, and she screamed, "Someone! Murderer..."
"Bai Yihuan's mother," Huo Yirou whispered to Su He, "She's not easy to deal with."
Su He scoffs, accusing them of murder as soon as she makes a move. She's definitely not simple.
People in the other private rooms heard the commotion and came out to find out what was going on. The manager hurriedly tried to soothe them, but some people were still complaining about the noise and demanded that security take Su He and Huo Yirou to the police station for handling.
Su He smirked, walked straight into the private room, and from the washroom, fetched a basin of cold water. Without any hesitation, she poured it directly onto He Suwen's face.
He Suwen shivered and sat up suddenly.
"Yeah, I'm not dead!" Su He said with a snort, addressing He Suwen who was now looking like a drowned rat.
Seeing this, everyone accused Jian Xin of not understanding the situation and shouting randomly. Under the manager's difficult persuasion, she returned to her own room.
Jian Xinxin narrowed her eyes and looked at Su He: "You're the country girl who fooled Old Madam Huo into marrying Huo Chenxi Sure enough, people from the countryside are uneducated!"
"It's better to be uncultured than to indulge in all vices like drinking, gambling, and whoring," Su He smiled. "Mrs. Bai has raised a good son. I truly feel inferior."
Jian Xin's face turned ugly from the pain. She reached out and swung at Su He: "You sharp-tongued little bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Su He was about to trip Jian Xinjun who was rushing towards her, but unexpectedly, Huo Chenxi arrived in a hurry and saw this scene. He strode forward, grabbed Jian Xinjun's hand, and frowned, "What's going on"
He Suwen immediately stepped forward and wept, already looking disheveled and now with tears streaming down her face. She stood in stark contrast to Su He, who watched coldly from the side.
Ho Chenxi suddenly felt a surge of annoyance and directly interrupted He Suwen, looking at the manager beside him: "You say!"
He Suwen, who had been suddenly interrupted, seemed to have swallowed a fly, her mouth agape and helpless.
The manager explained everything clearly in a few simple sentences.
He Suwen came to reserve a private room and asked if it was reserved by Huo Yirou. He Suwen directly took the reservation for the private room.
Huo Chenxi's thin lips curled slightly, and he glanced at He Suwen slantingly.
He remembered being told that he had a specific private room here.
"There's a private room upstairs, you guys go there." Huo Chenxi walked to Huo Yirou's face and said softly, "Consider this me apologizing for her!"
Huo Yirou's nose soured: "Big brother, it's okay, I'm fine."
"Go on. You're back, Big Brother hasn't given you a welcome yet." Huo Shenxi insisted.
Ho Yirou only nodded.
Su He didn't want to go, but he didn't want to make Huo Yirou embarrassed, so he still followed the manager upstairs.
This private room is more than twice the size of their previous reservation, and much more luxurious. In the center of the dining table, a delicate carving of mountains and flowing water comes to life with vivid detail. Mist swirls among the peaks, creating an otherworldly, ethereal scene.
In a short while, the waiter brought up various dishes, even desserts that were both Su He and Huo Yirou's favorites: mango mousse and tiramisu.
"They are all our favorites!" Huo Yirou exclaimed, "When did Big Brother become so thoughtful"
Su He was also startled.
To her surprise, Huo Chenxi knew her taste.
If he wasn't trying to atone for He Suwen, he wouldn't care about her birthday at all
She let out a mocking laugh, but Su He only drank white water, not touching his food.
Huo Yirou seeing this, sighed softly and proposed leaving.
Just as the two were about to leave, Bai Yihuan unexpectedly walked over with a wine glass in hand.
"My mom had a little misunderstanding with you guys earlier. I apologize on her behalf. Xi and I are getting engaged soon, and we hope you'll grace us with your presence at the engagement party."
Even though she already received the dowry, Huo Chenxi was still willing to spend time with her to complete the entire process from engagement to marriage. He truly is in love.
Unlike getting married to her, they hastily obtained a marriage certificate and until now, only a handful of people know that they were ever married.
"An apology has to be sincere. If she wants to apologize, she should come herself." Su He said expressionlessly, "As for the engagement banquet, if you're truly inviting me, just send an invitation. Don't try to get rid of me later by saying I wasn't invited!"
Understanding her veiled meaning, Bai Yihuan was left speechless, his face paling. His fingers tightened, almost crushing the glass in his hand.ood straight and said slowly: "Bai Yihuan originally thought that you were the one who harmed her. A few days ago, Huo Chenyi caught her, and she blamed this on you."Su He was speechless for a moment....
