Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 191 - 189: Too explosive!
Mu Qingran clutched the ballpoint pen in her hand, staring at the man in front of her, waiting for Huo Zhenyang’s pen to descend and sign his name on the marriage contract.
With a "rip," the black-and-white marriage contract was torn in half by the man’s slender fingers, then crumpled into a wrinkled ball in his palm, and with a flick, it was tossed onto the luxurious wool carpet!
The action was so swift that everyone present was caught off guard.
"I think Daddy should know that since I entered the business world at seventeen, it has always been me who has had people in the palm of my hand, and never someone who could threaten me."
Huo Zhenyang lifted his classically handsome jaw, his clear and cold words silencing the room.
"You—you—" Huo Tianpei, so angry he felt a pain in his chest, said, "Do you think that by tearing up this contract, it’s over? I’ve invited Director Tan here today. You will sign it whether you like it or not!"
Yao Zhenru saw the old man’s face turning purple with rage and hurriedly patted his back while comforting him, casting sidelong sneers at Huo Zhenyang sitting on the sofa from time to time.
What she enjoyed most was seeing this father and son quarrel endlessly over the marriage issue.
Huo Tianpei favored his eldest son from his first marriage, while Huo Zhenyang’s decisions were resolute and ruthless. She and her son could hardly aspire to the Huo Family’s estate.
However, it was still good to be able to trip them up.
This scene was exactly what Yao Zhenru was hoping for.
The more the father and son fought, the more satisfying it was for her to watch.
Huo Zhenyang, seeing his father shaking with rage, the coldness on his handsome face dissipated, replaced with a hint of mocking amusement as he suddenly softened his tone: 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Dad, don’t worry, Director Tan’s visit won’t be in vain today. If extra copies of the marriage contract were prepared, bring them out. They should still be useful."
Huo Tianpei’s anger subsided, not understanding what his son meant, he stared at him blankly: "What do you mean?"
This son of his was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
No, it wasn’t just a lack of control; he couldn’t even understand his son’s thoughts anymore.
But then again... maybe he had never truly understood this son, had he?
Zhenyang had always been self-reliant from a young age. He had been preoccupied with building up the Huo family empire and seldom spent time at home with him and his mother.
Since the year his wife passed away, when he had rushed home crazily to find his young son looking at him with a gaze so cold and detached it was nearly emotionless, he should have realized that he might never have truly understood his son.
The Zhenyang of today could completely disregard his arrangements and tear up the marriage contract in front of so many people.
This meant that he had long outgrown his father’s authority and didn’t have to abide by his father’s control.
The only reason he still showed some respect for him was simply because he was his father.
Huo Zhenyang didn’t answer, his thin, merciless lips curled into a profound smile, and his handsome face turned, looking towards Yao Zhenru.
Yao Zhenru suddenly shuddered, feeling that something was about to happen.
At that moment, the voice of a young man came from the entrance of the living room:
"Daddy, Qingran can’t marry big brother!"
Everyone looked over in surprise to see the younger son striding in.
Mu Qingran couldn’t help standing up abruptly, her pregnant belly notwithstanding, not knowing what Huo Zhenxuan was up to!
But under the gaze of all, how could they stop him!
"Zhenxuan, how did you come back, what are you talking about?" Yao Zhenru asked, surprised, "Why don’t you let Qingran marry your big brother? Your daddy has already invited Director Tan from the notary office here."
Huo Zhenxuan ignored everyone and walked straight to Mu Qingran’s side. Despite her attempts to dodge, he grabbed her hand in front of everyone, holding it tight, "Because it’s Qingran and I who are a couple, and the child in Qingran’s belly is mine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone except for Huo Zhenyang and Jiayi exclaimed aloud!
Director Tan’s eyeballs nearly popped out. The secrets of a wealthy family sure were many. He hadn’t recovered from his initial shock of seeing a pregnant woman and a current fiancée, and now there was an even more explosive news - the younger brother and the big brother’s woman were involved?
It was said that Miss Mu was Mrs. Huo’s distant relative by marriage, which made her Second Young Master Huo Zhenxuan’s cousin; so was it an illicit affair between cousins?
Too explosive!
Yao Zhenru turned pale, "Zhenxuan, what are you saying? How could the child in Qingran’s belly be yours? When have you and Qingran ever been together?"
Huo Tianpei was even more taken aback. How could the child Mu Qingran was carrying turn out to be his second son’s? With outsiders present, his face instantly turned an iron shade of blue.
Huo Zhenxuan used a fierce gaze to stop Mu Qingran’s struggle and gripped her hand tightly in secret, facing Huo Tianpei and Yao Zhenru, "Daddy, Mommy, I didn’t want to say it, but as a man, I must take responsibility. I can’t let Qingran bear this alone..."
Mu Qingran was stunned. This madman, hadn’t they agreed on everything? Why had he changed his mind again, what on earth was he planning to do!
Huo Zhenxuan gave Mu Qingran a "tender as water" look as she struggled secretly, and continued, "Qingran just returned to G City, and that night she stayed over at Huo Garden, we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. We chatted while having some drinks and accidentally... Afterward, she thought it was big brother. Later when I found out she was pregnant, I also knew it was my flesh and blood, but because she consistently mistook the child for big brother’s, I didn’t feel it was right to say much. Now that big brother is back, and I see her caught between big brother and Jiayi, growing more and more remorseful, I feel I should tell you this, and I should also take up the responsibility of being a father. If you don’t believe it, we can get a paternity test done for me and the child right away. Daddy, don’t worry, I will marry Qingran as soon as possible and take good care of the two of them, mother and son, and give you a smart and healthy grandson!"
He had thought about this speech for several days!
He couldn’t possibly say that he had raped Mu Qingran that day, so in his narrative, it had become a night of mutual passion.
Yao Zhenru had not expected this, and it took her a long time to recover. Such a big matter, and Mu Qingran had not told her!
It turned out that Mu Qingran had not successfully climbed into Huo Zhenyang’s bed that night, but had instead ended up with her own son!
Yao Zhenru’s face flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Mu Qingran.
All this time, in her eyes, her distant niece Mu Qingran was just a pawn, previously used to get close to Huo Zhenyang, to be her informant.
And now, to replace Jiayi—with one of her own marrying Huo Zhenyang, it was certainly better than an outsider.
To let Mu Qingran become her daughter-in-law? Impossible! Not nearly qualified enough!
For her son, she was still planning to match him with the daughter from a rich family!
But now, the child she was carrying was Zhenxuan’s, and Zhenxuan also wanted to marry her...
Yao Zhenru felt dizzy thinking about it, her body swaying a bit.
