Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 17

If someone wants to take his position, he would be more than willing to give it up.

Because as the heir of the Huo Family, he loses far more than he gains.

Grandmother saw Huo Shaohua stride away but did not stop him.

This unfilial grandson is only ever hindered by emotions.

Sitting on the sofa, holding her chest and struggling to breathe, Housekeeper Liu immediately brought her medicine.

"Madam, don't blame the young master," Housekeeper Liu advised.

To him, the young master was like a son, having watched him grow up.

"Don't speak up for him, that bastard!" Grandmother took a sip of water and cursed angrily.

"This matter is also very difficult for the young master," Housekeeper Liu sighed.

"Give me Tian Xingyun's phone number; I'll call her."

"Yes." Housekeeper Liu nodded and immediately went to find Tian Xingyun's number.

Tian Xingyun had just come back from the field with some flowers, planning to take them to the wholesale market in the morning.

She had just put the flowers in water when her phone rang.

"Hello," she answered, noticing it was an unfamiliar number.

"Xingyun, it's Grandmother."

"Grandmother, it's you," Tian Xingyun looked around cautiously.

She only relaxed and went upstairs to her room, locking the door once she confirmed she was alone.

Her family still didn't know she was pregnant because she didn't know what the Huo Family planned to do about it.

Grandmother talked to her for quite a while, reminding her to rest early.

Telling her not to work and to take good care of herself.

Grandmother's concern warmed her heart, easing her sorrow.

The contrast between Grandmother's and Huo Shaohua's attitudes was stark.

Every word Huo Shaohua said suggested he didn't want this child.

In contrast, Grandmother treated the child as a treasure, making her feel warm and not sad.

At least someone truly cared about the baby besides her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked Grandmother for Huo Shaohua's phone number.

The Huo Family people are still guarding the village entrance, which isn't a solution.

She needed to negotiate with him to get the Huo Family people to leave.

After noting down Huo Shaohua's phone number, she ended the call with Grandmother.

She immediately called Huo Shaohua, as it was still early.

There was still time to catch the next bus to meet him.

At that moment, Huo Shaohua was drinking in his villa.

The phone kept ringing; he answered impatiently, "Who is it?"

"..." It's that woman again. Just hearing her name made him furious.

"Let's meet and talk."

"Sure," Huo Shaohua sneered and gave Tian Xingyun the address.

He ended the call and threw his phone on the sofa; they really needed to talk.

Half an hour later, Tian Xingyun arrived at the villa.

The door was open; she walked in and closed it behind her.

What's with this person, leaving the door open and not fearing burglars?

She walked into the living room and was hit by the pungent smell of alcohol. Instinctively, she covered her nose.

Seeing the empty living room, she called out softly, "Huo Shaohua, are you there?"

She tiptoed cautiously, taking slow steps.

Suddenly, a strange smell wafted from behind, making her turn around instinctively.

The moment she turned, she collided with Huo Shaohua's solid chest. In the next second, he grabbed her, spun her around, and pinned her under him on the sofa.

"What are you doing!?" She looked in panic at the handsome man above her.

Her heart pounded; the suddenness nearly scared her to death.

When did he stand behind her? She hadn't heard a sound.

If not for her keen sense of smell making her turn around,

She wouldn't know what he intended to do to her!
