Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 19 However, It Doesn’t Matter at All

Huo Tianpei looked at her rosy cheeks, which resembled a ripe apple, and laughed, "Our Huo Family has reached this stage where countless petty minds harbor ill intentions. Since you are one of Zhenyang’s, you are also like a family member to us. Therefore, hiring top-tier bodyguards is essential."

Jiayi nodded obediently, but in her mind, she was calculating, ’Your son isn’t afraid of me being coveted by the wrong people; he’s afraid of me running away, right?’

Seeing the old man so happy, she felt a little guilty. If he knew she was just a fake girlfriend, the old man would surely be disappointed.

Before she realized it, the sky had gradually darkened.

Huo Tianpei, noticing her constant checking of the time on her phone, knew that the young man had set a time for her and didn’t want to make her uncomfortable, "Jiayi, you should head back first. I know Zhenxuan doesn’t really like you coming to Huo Garden."

Jiayi pursed her lips and finally couldn’t help herself, "Actually, uncle has been very kind to the late auntie, still commemorating her with orchids. He will understand eventually."

Huo Tianpei was taken aback, not expecting her to know, but wasn’t angry; he smiled with a touch of sorrow, "Before she died, I couldn’t even see her one last time, letting her leave this world all alone. It’s only right that Zhenxuan hates me."

"There must have been a reason for uncle," Jiayi said with a sparkle in her eyes, affirming her belief.

Huo Tianpei was moved as his heart, closed off for decades, rarely opened up, "When Pei Lan was critically ill, afraid to affect my business negotiation, she called me, lying that she was fine and had recovered, telling me to come back two days later... there was no hurry..." he said with an expression filled with anguish, "How was I to know she was deceiving me to put my mind at ease? Just like that, I missed my last chance to see her."

"Why didn’t uncle explain to Zhenxuan?" Jiayi frowned.

"What good would it do?" Huo Tianpei replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head. The more he tried to explain, the more his son might think he was covering up his own negligence. He said gently, "It’s getting late, you should go. I’ll have George take you."

Jiayi stood up, "No need, I remember the way; there’s no need to trouble the butler. I’ll be fine with George following me."

Huo Tianpei gave a smile, letting her have her way.

Jiayi left the glass greenhouse and started down Huo Garden’s path towards the main gate, with George following not far behind.

It was nearly six in the evening. Had that man returned to the hotel yet? She better hurry back. She quickened her pace.

Just as she exited the gate of Huo Garden, a tall figure appeared ahead.

The man, seeing Jiayi, curled his lip and walked up to block her path.

Jiayi looked at the man in front of her, young and handsome, with chestnut-colored hair, dressed in expensive attire from head to toe, clearly a rich young master. His features somewhat resembled someone she saw yesterday—oh, right, Yao Zhenru.

Could he be Yao Zhenru’s son, the half-brother from another mother?

Huo Zhenxuan had heard about his elder brother bringing a girlfriend to Huo Garden yesterday. Just now, when news came that Miss Luo had visited again, he had stealthily approached the glass greenhouse and observed the girl chatting happily with the old master. His gaze flickered mysteriously, ’So, this is the elder brother’s new darling.’

So, the elder brother, known in the business circle as Ghost Asura, who hadn’t had a girlfriend for many years, had someone he liked after all?

Although the girl was a bit young and her family background quite ordinary, she was attractive; her appearance was like a delicate and pure lily, inciting in men the illusion of wanting to crush her in the palm of their hand.

More precious was her ability to win the old master’s favor.

Because he had stalked his elder brother to expose him, Huo Zhenxuan was scolded by the old master last night and even had several of his credit cards suspended. At this moment, his eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness.

Why did all the good things in the world belong to his elder brother?

In business, he couldn’t win against his elder brother.

But if he could deceive this seemingly innocent woman into his grasp, seduce her, would that eternally superior, lofty man find out, and could it kill him with anger?!

Haha... With that thought in mind, Huo Zhenxuan had already started plotting how to undermine him. He followed Jiayi out of the front gate.

Although he couldn’t compare to his older brother in many aspects, he had been with many women over the years and had plenty of experience. This girl looked just like a student and was definitely easy to deceive.

"Miss Luo? I am Huo Zhenxuan." The man approached, polite and refined, his phoenix eyes tilting slightly upward, "Are you walking alone? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No need. I’m in a hurry, please excuse me, thank you." Jiayi, anxious to get back to the hotel, saw him blocking her path, lightly pushed him with her hand, noticed he hardly moved, her eyes ignited with fire, and she glared at him, emphasizing her words, "Thank you!"

Huo Zhenxuan simply couldn’t believe it—he had never been rejected by a woman before, especially not in such a—rude manner.

Even if she had tasted his older brother’s affection, as the second young master of the Huo Family, he was definitely not inferior. Was she blind? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"I just wanted to offer Miss Luo a ride." Huo Zhenxuan, unwilling to give up, moved even closer, "Don’t misunderstand, Miss Luo, Huo Zhenyang is still my older brother. I’m just looking after you on behalf of my brother."

If it hadn’t been for his sneak photographing of Huo Zhenyang, she wouldn’t have been tied down by Huo Zhenyang, forced to continue acting in this charade. Jiayi’s anger inexplicably flared even more, her lips curling slightly:

"Huo Zhenyang is your older brother, but that still doesn’t make any difference. You’re still the younger brother with the vile intentions who took those photos and sent them to the press! Move aside, thank you, a good dog doesn’t block the way!"

"You—you bitch! How dare you curse at me!" Enraged, Huo Zhenxuan’s expression darkened as he raised his hand to strike her, but suddenly felt a shadow loom over him, and his arm was seized with a jolt of pain as someone grabbed it.

"Outrageous!" It turned out to be the wolfhound that was always by his brother’s side; Huo Zhenxuan was gripped by Jiayi’s protector, George, and his whole arm felt like it was being ripped off, causing him to cry out in pain, "Let go! Don’t you know who your master is?"

"My master is the CEO, and right now, it’s Miss Luo." George articulated each word, devoid of emotion.

"What Miss Luo! She’s nothing but a bitch kept by a rich man! When my brother is tired of you, you can just pack up and leave!" Huo Zhenxuan, never before insulted like this by a woman, was still furious, lashing back at Jiayi without any self-possession.

"Miss Luo." George frowned slightly, signaling to Jiayi whether she wanted to further teach Huo Zhenxuan a lesson for his foul mouth.

Jiayi didn’t speak but smiled, and while George had him immobilized, she leaned in a few steps closer, and before the ranting man could react, she lifted her foot and with a "thump," the sharp heel of her high-heeled shoe came crashing down hard onto the man’s instep!

Phew! Lucky for her that today, thinking of meeting her uncle, she opted for a more ladylike appearance and chose a pair of high heels!

High heels, apart from being beautiful, are definitely an essential item for teaching bastards a lesson at home!

"Ahh—" A wail erupted from Huo Zhenxuan’s throat.

"If you dare go back and talk nonsense to my uncle, I’ll say you were harassing me, okay?" Jiayi whispered, batting her eyelashes, a mix of cunning and alluring charm, "The second young master must have just been scolded by my uncle, right? What do you think my uncle would do to you if he found out you took advantage of his older son’s woman again?"

Just what kind of woman had he provoked?

She appeared so meek and gentle, yet she was like a little vixen, skillfully manipulating people!

At Jiayi’s signal, George let go.

Huo Zhenxuan clutched his injured foot, sitting on the ground, speechless for a long time.

Just then, accompanied by the sound of an engine, a sleek black sports car roared up and came to a stop at the entrance of Huo Garden.

The car door lifted, and a handsome man with a complexion as dark as the night stepped out.
