Yao Yutong only found out later that the reason Liang Tianshuo showed up at the club was that it was Liang Tianshuo's property.
Fortunately, there was no surveillance in that club.
Fortunately, too, Huo Zhengqin had used an anonymous mobile phone number when he asked her to meet.
They also wiped off the fingerprints on the wine bottle and the chair.
She called Huo Mingze, crying, and said that a representative of an internationally renowned brand in China had asked her to meet at the club to discuss a jewelry design project.
After she arrived, the representative who was supposed to discuss jewelry design with her suddenly made inappropriate advances towards her. Fortunately, Tianshuo saw it and saved her.
Unexpectedly, the other person had accomplices. They hit Tianshuo and ran away.
Huo Mingze rushed to the club with Qiu Zhan immediately.
Liang Tianshuo had been hit on the back of his head but there was no bleeding.
They took Liang Tianshuo to the hospital for an examination and confirmed that Liang Tianshuo had become a vegetative state.
Later, they sent Liang Tianshuo abroad.
It was said that Qiu Zhan had a medical base there.
Because there was no surveillance and many people came and went in the club, Huo Mingze's people didn't find out anything.
At first, Yao Yutong was still worried, fearing that Liang Tianshuo would wake up.
During that period, when she and Huo Mingze visited Huo Mansion, she didn't dare to look Huo Zhengqin in the eye, fearing that Huo Mingze would discover something was amiss.
She didn't answer calls from unknown numbers either.
After a few months, Liang Tianshuo still hadn't woken up.
Sometimes when Qiu Zhan and Huo Mingze had meals together and she was present, she would also hear Qiu Zhan sigh and say that the fourth young master might never wake up.
Only then did she feel relieved.
However, after a few months, Huo Mingze's position suddenly became 稳固起来.
When having meals, Grandpa Huo also asked Huo Mingze to manage the Huo Group well.
Of course, she then gave up the idea of getting in touch with Huo Zhengqin again.
Huo Zhengqin tried to find her several times, but she cleverly avoided him.
Last month, Huo Mingze proposed to her, and of course she accepted.
Originally, she was already waiting to become Mrs. Huo.
Suddenly, Grandma got some inside information that Grandpa Huo wanted to re-employ Huo Zhengye, Huo Zhengqin's father.
If that was the case, Huo Mingze's branch of the family would lose its advantage again.
So, she immediately went abroad.
She planned to keep Huo Mingze on the hook while waiting and seeing.
She thought that when the situation became clear, she would decide on her next move.
However, Huo Mingze suddenly got married, which disrupted all her plans.
Now Huo Mingze had successively won several major projects and his position was become stabilized.
When Huo Zhengqin brought up the agreement from that year again, of course she refused.
Huo Zhengqin was all smiles: "Are you sure you don't need to think it over?"
"No need!" Yao Yutong raised her chin and was about to push the car door to get out.
With her hand on the door handle, she turned her head and said unceremoniously to Huo Zhengqin: "Young Master Huo, don't threaten me with Liang Tianshuo's matter anymore. You were the one who took action in this matter. If it gets to Huo Mingze, it won't do you any good either."
Huo Zhengqin laughed again: "What if I just like doing things that harm others without benefiting myself?"
Yao Yutong raised her chin even higher: "Then go ahead. You and Huo Mingze have been cousins for more than twenty years. You should know him, right? In his heart, those brothers who don't share the same surname are even closer than his real brothers. If he knows that Young Master Huo has hurt his brother, I'm afraid Huo Mingze will kill his blood-related cousin for his non-blood-related brother."
Huo Zhengqin laughed again: "After all, you two were together for six years. Miss Yao really knows my brother well!"
"So, Young Master Huo, don't play with fire." Yao Yutong pushed the car door open.
Huo Zhengqin asked with a smile again: "Miss Yao, do you really know Huo Mingze?"
"What?" Yao Yutong frowned as she looked at Huo Zhengqin.
Since it was about Huo Mingze, she always wanted to hear more.
Huo Zhengqin looked at Yao Yutong mockingly: "Do you think that after he married someone else, he will come back to you? A person like him, when he's in a good mood, he can cut off his head and let you use it as a stool. When he's in a bad mood, he won't even frown if you die in front of him."
These words pierced Yao Yutong's heart again, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She stubbornly said: "My affairs don't need Young Master Huo to worry about."
Anyway, she and Huo Mingze had been in a relationship for six years. As long as she insisted that she went abroad just for a competition, Huo Mingze would surely understand her.
No matter how angry he was, there would always be a time when his anger subsided.
Besides, next month was the Zhongding Cup. She had already bought two very spiritual design works.
One was called Redemption, and the other was called Orchid Fragrance.
She would directly use these two works to enter the competition.
Even if she didn't win the championship, winning an award was certain.
At that time, when she confessed her love to Huo Mingze on the podium, he was a man of sentiment. He would surely be touched and reignite his feelings for her.
After Yao Yutong left, Huo Zhengqin smiled, got out of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and drove away.
When Yao Yutong returned to the Yao family's house, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
She saw that the lights were on in the ancestral hall, so she immediately went to knock gently on the door and then pushed it open and entered.
Grandma was kneeling on the futon, twirling the Buddhist beads and chanting sutras.
Yao Yutong immediately walked in, picked up three incense sticks, and was about to light them.
Grandma opened her eyes and scolded softly: "Put them down!"
"Grandma, I want to burn some incense." Yao Yutong said.
"Why not do it earlier? What are you burning incense for at night?" Grandma scolded.
"Alas." Yao Yutong sighed and put down the incense sticks, then bowed to the several big Buddhas.
She sighed and said: "Grandma, you've really caused me a lot of trouble."
"Don't talk nonsense in front of the Bodhisattva." Grandma's face was not pleasant.
Then she got up, put down the prayer beads, and walked out.
Yao Yutong immediately followed her.
Grandma walked into the bedroom.
She sat on the bed and looked at Yao Yutong with dissatisfaction: "Are you implying that I was wrong?"
"Alas." Yao Yutong sighed again and sat in the sofa opposite the bed. "Grandma, if it weren't for you saying that Grandpa Huo was going to re-employ Huo Zhengye, I wouldn't have gone abroad, and Huo Mingze wouldn't have gotten married to a strange woman in a fit of anger."
Grandma frowned, her face full of wrinkles: "Who am I doing this for? The Yao family used to be one of the five great noble families in Haicheng. Look at what it has become now. If we can't obtain huge benefits from an arranged marriage, it will only continue to decline. This is looking at the fate of the entire Yao family from a big perspective.
From a small perspective, regarding your fate, if Huo Mingze doesn't manage the Huo Group, you will be squeezed out of the Huo family by the eldest branch of the Huo family in the future. From the moment a woman gets married, her fate is tied to that of her husband. They rise and fall together.
If Huo Mingze is in power, you will be the mistress of the Huo family, and people will address you respectfully as Mrs. Huo wherever you go.
If Huo Mingze is not in power, who will look up to you?"
"Grandma, I understand the reasoning. The problem now is, what should I do?" Yao Yutong sighed again.
"You are in the prime of your youth and beauty. If you can't even win over Huo Mingze, you don't deserve to be the mistress of the Huo family. I can only tell you that Huo Mingze has already won Grandpa Huo's heart. Perhaps, at his birthday next next month, he will announce the heir. Go to sleep. I'm sleepy."
The old lady got up to wash up.
Yao Yutong went back to her own room.
All night long, she tossed and turned.
Her mind was full of thoughts about how to win back Huo Mingze.
