Chapter 733: Chapter 732: Other Women _1 Chapter 733: Chapter 732: Other Women _1 Huo Beijiang raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, “That’s not the case.”
“Ah?” Lu Dongxin was taken aback, clearly understanding the meaning behind his words.
“On your birthday, I was meeting with another woman.”
Huo Beijiang’s response was unabashedly confident.
Lu Dongxin felt as if her breath was stuck in her chest, on the verge of fainting. She had been trying so hard to please him, yet he still hurt her in such a way.
“You… Huo Beijiang, where have I wronged you?” Dongxin looked at him with utter despair, “My cousin was injured while under your tutorship, and I was the one who spoke on your behalf. Grandpa Huo personally chose me to be his granddaughter-in-law before he passed away. Don’t forget, his last dying wish was for you to treat me well.”
This was Dongxin’s trump card. Just by this alone, she couldn’t afford to lose easily.
Mentioning his grandfather, Huo Beijiang’s eyebrows contracted, his brows twitching. If not for his grandfather, would he need to be wasting time with Dongxin now? He was not the indulgent sort.
“Are you finished?” he asked coolly.
“No!” Dongxin stubbornly looked at him, “Beijiang, do you know what we’ll lose from our divorce? Do you know about the tough situation the Huo Family is facing? I can’t believe you wouldn’t care.”
“With me, you can navigate smoothly in the Imperial City, you can easily compensate for the loss of Grandpa Huo and General Huo.” Dongxin looked at him calmly, and said confidently: “I can’t believe that you wouldn’t care.”
Huo Beijiang’s pupils billowed, of course he cared, but he cared more about Nan Fei.
“For a woman, you would disregard the Huo Family, is this how you honor your grandfather and your older brother?”
Mentioning his older brother, Huo Beijiang’s expression could no longer maintain neutrality. His eyes were filled with surges of rage and deep pain.
“Everyone in the Imperial City knows how unwilling Huo Dongfeng was to get married, but he still did in the end. And what about you? You’re not even willing to fulfill Grandpa’s last wish before his death. Where do I fall short compared to Jiang Nanfei? I would do anything for you.”
Dongxin didn’t know about these secrets before, Wei Shufen quietly told her amidst the chaos this time.
She also told her never to reveal them, otherwise no one can protect her.
Her lips were slightly trembling, today when she came up with an excuse, she had already prepared for the worst.
“Who taught you to say those things?” he finally looked at Dongxin.
“I wanted to say them myself.” Dongxin turned her head to hide her eyes, she didn’t dare to look at Huo Beijiang’s face. Under his gaze, she felt her heart thump wildly.
She truly liked him, and for him, she was willing to do anything.
Even if it led to irretrievable damage, she was willing.
“Go back and tell the person behind you, if she dares to say one more word, she’ll have to pay with her life.” Huo Beijiang’s voice was low, his tones were filled with an unmistakable threat.
Dongxin was scared by his demeanor, her body swaying as she leaned back against the chair.
“I… I’m not leaving.” She hadn’t finished speaking yet! “Agree to treat me well in the future, and then I’ll leave.”
Huo Beijiang didn’t say anything this time, instead just watched her. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, much like the fiercest beast, full of sheer brutality and viciousness.
Panicked, Dongxin quickly stood up and ran out without looking back. Even after stepping out of the door, she still felt chills down her spine.
What… what did she just say? She knew it was a taboo topic and yet she still spoke of it.
