Chapter 459: 459, Wanwan is a huge vinegar jar
Su Wanwan was watching TV when she realized that Lu Zixi was being interviewed in the entertainment news.
After experiencing the recent scandal, her image had risen significantly, and she now seemed to be more famous than before.
“She’s quite pretty.” Mrs. Huo started to make conversation, “But it’s unfortunate, she got a father addicted to gambling. She had to be a surrogate mother at 16 to pay off his debts, and even after giving birth, she got cheated…”
Besides being an old lady, her hobbies were no different from those of young girls. She loved beauty, was a fan of celebrities, liked to binge-watch dramas, loved scrolling on Weibo, and even knew all the popular internet slangs.
They suddenly heard the faint sound of a car engine.
Mrs. Huo sighed with relief and quickly said, “Ashen is here.”
Su Wanwan didn’t respond.
“…” Mrs. Huo started to speculate wildly again.
How could she have no reaction upon hearing her husband’s arrival?
Thinking back on how Su Wenwen had come back alone earlier…
Mrs. Huo quickly turned around and quietly left the room.
**
As soon as Huo Jingshen emerged from the garage, Mrs. Huo walked over, held his arm, and said, “Ziyang, you go inside first.”
“Yes.” Fu Ziyang obediently left with his backpack.
Huo Jingshen was bewildered, “Grandmother, what’s the matter?”
Mrs. Huo looked around and then asked him in a low voice, “Did you upset Wanwan again?”
“No,” Huo Jingshen answered confidently.
“Really?” Mrs. Huo was skeptical. “You haven’t had any issues with Jingyi recently, have you?”
Huo Jingshen frowned deeply, “What could have possibly happened?”
Mrs. Huo stared at him, half-convinced, “I hope not. Remember, you’re a married man. You must keep a clear distance from other women, especially that Chu Jingyi! If you dare cause any trouble and make my granddaughter-in-law leave, you can pack up and go back to the United Kingdom!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Ever since he got married, his status in this family seemed to be getting worse and worse.
**
Returning to the living room, Mrs. Huo immediately shouted, “Wanwan, Ashen is back.”
Su Wanwan knew that Mrs. Huo meant well and that the elderly often worried about conflicts between the younger generation.
She had no choice but to stand up, smile, and sweetly call out, “Husband.”
Indeed, Mrs. Huo’s face immediately broke into a grin.
However, when Su Wanwan saw the man who walked in, her face froze.
Huo Jingshen hadn’t realised it yet.
He approached her, squeezed her smooth cheek affectionately, and asked naturally, “Baby, why did you come back all alone?”
Su Wanwan, however, was staring fixedly at his neck, as if she hadn’t heard him.
Huo Jingshen lowered his head and asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong?”
Su Wanwan suddenly reached up and pulled down his dark blue scarf, checking the label inside.
As expected.
It was the scarf she had fancied when she went shopping with Mo Weiyi.
She immediately asked, “Who gave you this scarf?”
She had instantly thought that this color would suit Huo Jingshen, but because it was too expensive, it was eventually bought by Chu Jingyi.
But she never expected that this scarf would end up around Huo Jingshen’s neck.
Thinking back to Chu Jingyi saying she had something to give him when she left earlier…
Everything added up, making Su Wanwan suspect whether he had met Chu Jingyi just now and then hurriedly put on the gift he received.
Immediately, her voice raised, “Who gave it to you? Speak up!”
Seeing things were not looking good, Mrs. Huo rushed over and slapped Huo Jingshen’s arm, “Tell us, did you do anything to betray Wanwan!”
Huo Jingshen frowned, “No.”
“Bullshit!” Su Wanwan blurted out.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Mrs. Huo: “…”
Even Fu Ziyang looked over, tilting his little head.
The door to the study was opened, and Mr. Huo came out with his cane, a frown on his face.
Left with no choice, Su Wanwan pulled Huo Jingshen’s arm and whispered, “You come upstairs with me!”
She didn’t want to have a marital argument in front of the elders.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ignoring Mrs. Huo’s meaningful glances, and allowed himself to be dragged upstairs.
**
Upon reaching the upstairs, Su Wanwan dragged Huo Jingshen into the bedroom. Once the door was closed, she turned around to face him.
“Tell me, did Chu Jingyi give you this scarf?”
This damned man, how dare he accept a scarf from another woman?
What could he not do?
Was it because he hadn’t been home much recently, that he couldn’t resist the temptation to cheat so soon?
The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the angrier she got, until her shoulders started to tremble slightly.
She clenched her fists, ready to punch him as soon as he admitted it.
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, daring to retort, “Is your husband so unworthy of your trust?”
“But she came to our house just now, said she had something to give you when she left.”
“I didn’t see her just now.”
“Then where did you get this scarf!”
Huo Jingshen looked at her, “I went to the hospital to see Xiuhuang this afternoon.”
“Xiuhuang gave it to you?” Su Wanwan’s voice was full of suspicion, “Why would a grown man give you a scarf out of nowhere? It’s not even a holiday. Call Xiuhuang now, I want to confront him personally.”
Huo Jingshen’s brow twitched at her words.
Confront?
“Why? Don’t want to call? not calling means you’re guilty!”
With Su Wanwan’s words, Huo Jingshen reluctantly pulled out his phone. “Call, call, call.”
This is…
Marrying a huge jar of vinegar indeed!
“Put it on speaker.” Su Wanwan made another demand.
Huo Jingshen could only dial the number and put it on speaker.
Soon a lazy voice came from the other end of the call, “Yo, big brother, why are you calling me so late?”
“Whose scarf is this?”
“What scarf?”
“You tell me.”
“Oh, it was brought by my maid. What’s wrong?”
“Your sister-in-law misunderstood. Can you explain it now?” Huo Jingshen finished his words and handed the phone to Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan was just reaching out to take it…
“What scarf? I didn’t give you a scarf, please don’t cause a dispute, brother. Although we’re good brothers, I don’t like to share scarves. I can’t do such deceptive things…”
The call was then immediately cut off.
Huo Jingshen’s handsome face darkened.
This stinking brat.
Looking at Su Wanwan, sure enough, she was getting furious, “Bastard, I’m going to castrate you!”
After saying that, she turned around to run.
However, just as she grabbed the doorknob, Huo Jingshen tightly hugged her from behind, his deep voice asking, “Baby, where are you going?”
“I’m going to get scissors! I’m going to castrate you!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
His beautiful hand directly locks the door, and he turns her around while holding her.
Su Wanwan struggled desperately, “Don’t touch me! You’re so dirty!”
Huo Jingshen was helpless, “I really picked it up in Xiuhuang’s hospital room. My scarf was dirtied by him, and this one is brand new and unused.”
I should have avoided the misunderstanding by not using it.
“If you don’t believe me, you can call Secretary Shi, she was there at the time.”
Seeing Su Wanwan still didn’t believe him, Huo Jingshen once again picked up his phone and dialed the number.
The call was quickly answered, and Shi Huan’s formal voice came through, “Mr. Huo.”
Huo Jingshen immediately handed the phone to Su Wanwan.
“Mr. Huo?”
Su Wanwan remained silent.
“Mr. Huo, are you there?”
Su Wanwan still didn’t say anything.
Then in the distance, there was Xiuhuang’s grand uncle-like voice, “XiaoHuan, come serve me!”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Shi Huan is still asking, “Mr. Huo? Did you call for something?”
Su Wanwan coughs awkwardly twice, finally speaking, “I’m sorry, Secretary Shi, it’s me.”
The fact that Huo Jingshen dared to call Shi Huan showed that everything he said was probably true, and Su Wanwan certainly didn’t want people thinking she was a jealous wife.
“Mrs. Huo? What can I do for you?”
Su Wanwan quickly thought of an excuse, “Nothing, just that tomorrow’s the weekend and I wanted to invite you to a meal.”
Huo Jingshen instantly raised an eyebrow.
This girl…
As for Shi Huan, she hesitated for a moment, then said, “Sure.”
Su Wanwan was incredibly surprised.
She hadn’t really meant it, but to her surprise, Shi Huan had agreed. All Su Wanwan could do was go along with it, “Okay, we’ll discuss it in the WeChat group.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Su Wanwan’s hand was suddenly grabbed.
“Do you still want to castrate your husband?”
Su Wanwan,”…”
