Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 745 - 725: Dog Eat Dog

Xiaolei, with a blue face, pulled her out forcefully and closed the study door behind her.

In the corridor, Xiaolei glared viciously at Su Yan. Since Auntie Li was still upstairs, it was not a good time to question her, so she entered the guest room first.

Su Yan followed her in.

Just as Auntie Li came out of the bathroom, puzzled, she said, "Miss, there’s nothing wrong with the faucet."

Xiaolei feigned ignorance, "Oh? Really? I tried to twist it on earlier and couldn’t get any water out... Well, okay, never mind, I’ve changed my clothes, cleaned them up, so let’s not bother anymore, we’ll be leaving first."

She had just been shamelessly trying to stay, clearly waiting for the young master to come back. Why was she suddenly ready to leave now?

Auntie Li felt doubtful.

However, since both of them wanted to leave, she was more than happy to oblige and promptly saw Su Yan and Xiaolei downstairs.

Once outside the villa district, Su Yan got her car and sat in the driver’s seat.

Seeing Xiaolei still standing by the car, staring coldly at her, Su Yan lifted her chin, "What? Aren’t you getting in?"

Xiaolei yanked the car door open, slammed it shut, and then raised her hand, preparing to slap Su Yan’s face.

Su Yan, quick to react, twisted her wrist, "What are you doing?"

Xiaolei sneered, "You’re asking me what I’m doing? So what were you sneakily doing in my cousin’s study? You came with me today to give a gift to Zaizai, deliberately spilled juice on me, accompanied me upstairs to change my skirt, all so you could go to my cousin’s study, right? What is your real purpose?"

Su Yan raised an eyebrow, "Don’t overthink it, I didn’t do anything."

Xiaolei mocked sharply, "Then why did you go into his study for no reason, don’t tell me you went in there to have tea!"

Seeing that she had made her suspicions clear, Su Yan’s expression changed, and she didn’t deny it anymore.

Xiaolei saw her tacit admission and looked even more dejected.

The study contained all of my cousin’s important documents, not to mention business and political secrets.

Su Yan going in there recklessly, what good could come of it?

Su Yan is now Mrs. Huo, the nominal stepmother to my cousin, and there’s a conflict of interest between them.

No need to say, she must be trying to steal something private from my cousin to bring him down.

Xiaolei trembled with rage, "You used me to come here today, right? If I hadn’t realized you weren’t in the room and snuck off to the study next door, and if I hadn’t caught Auntie Li in time, you would have been caught. Would my cousin forgive me, thinking I was helping you to harm him? You lowlife—"

Before the word "person" could be spoken, Su Yan sharply interrupted:

"I used you, and aren’t you also using me? Weren’t you also trying to get me to help you get close to your cousin? I gave you several opportunities to get close to Huo Zhenyang, but you didn’t seize them. Is that my fault? If I’m a lowlife, what does that make you? We’re both the same! Neither of us is noble. What right do you have to insult me? I’ve done everything I should for you; now it’s time for you to return the favor. Don’t tell me you’re so naive as to think that you don’t have to give anything in return for my help!?"

Xiaolei was choked by Su Yan’s icy counterattack, her face flushing red, unable to utter a word.

After a while, her raised hand slowly slid down, and she bit her lip, "It’s irrelevant if you ask me for other favors, but I can’t help you harm my cousin. My goal is to make my cousin accept me, to stay by his side smoothly, to be his woman! If you want me to harm him and he falls because of it, what good is that to me? If he finds out, I’m certain to be kicked back to my home country! Either way, there’s no good outcome for me! I would be brain-dead to help you! So, our deal ends here! From today on, I won’t ask for your help anymore, nor should you seek me out!"

With that, she reached up to the car door, pulled it open forcefully, and quickly stepped out.

As if a demon were chasing after her, Xiaolei, with a darkened face, hurriedly walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and rushed away.

Su Yan rested her hands on the steering wheel, a hint of a cool, tranquil luster appeared at the corners of her lips.

After a short pause, she pressed the accelerator, started the engine, and sped away from the villa district.

At the same time, not far away, a spacious SUV was slowly approaching the intelligent gate of the villa district.

From behind the coffee-colored car window, Jiayi watched the scene of Xiaolei slamming the car door and stepping out and Su Yan driving away, feeling a sudden stir in her heart.

"Mommy, what are you looking at? Why did you have Uncle Driver stop the car?"

Zaizai leaned over Jiayi’s seat back from behind, asking curiously.

In the back seat, several little ones invited to the party started chirping like sparrows:

"Huo Zhuoting, is this your house?"

"Huo Zhuoting, your house is prettier and bigger than my neighborhood!"

Jiayi was pulled back from her thoughts by the chatter of the little ones and, coming to her senses, smiled and patted her son’s hand, "It’s nothing."

Then she instructed the driver, "Let’s go in."

The car drove into the villa compound and entered the Huo Mansion.

In the courtyard, Auntie Li, along with a few servants, came forward, took the young master and a group of kindergarten cuties by the hand, and led them inside.

The toys, snacks, and cartoons inside the house had been prepared early, a veritable paradise for children.

Zaizai couldn’t wait any longer, forming a small squad, he led his little friends inside.

Auntie Li received the cake Jiayi had ordered and just as she was about to follow the young master inside, Jiayi called out, "Auntie Li."

"Do you need something, young madam?" Auntie Li turned around.

"Did Su Yan and Xiaolei drop by a while ago?"

Auntie Li intended to report this after going inside but, seeing as Jiayi might have encountered them outside, she nodded and indicated with her mouth, "Mhm, they said they were here to celebrate the young master’s birthday, and they were carrying a bunch of gifts. One was Mrs. Huo and the other, Miss Huo; we servants didn’t think it appropriate to refuse them, so we let them sit for a while. Fortunately, they had the sense to leave after a short visit."

"They just left like that?"

"It wasn’t exactly sudden. While waiting for you to return, Miss Huo stained her clothes with juice and went upstairs to change. Probably feeling dirty and upset, she decided to leave."

Jiayi felt an odd sensation in her heart, "Oh? Xiaolei went upstairs? What about Su Yan?"

"She went up together with her."

"Nothing happened between the two, did it?"

Auntie Li was puzzled, "What kind of thing?"

"Well, like... did they argue or have a dispute?"

"No, not at all."

Yet outside just moments ago, Jiayi had clearly seen Xiaolei angrily slamming the car door, leaving alone in a taxi.

The two obviously had had a falling out.

Seeing a subtle change in Jiayi’s expression, Auntie Li’s own heart began to feel uneasily suspended, "What’s wrong, young madam? There isn’t any trouble, is there?"

Seeing Auntie Li’s concerned face, Jiayi shook her hand, "It’s nothing, Auntie Li, go take care of the children."

After speaking, she entered the house alone.

If it weren’t for having seen that scene outside a moment ago, Jiayi wouldn’t be suspicious now.

But since she had indeed witnessed it, she inevitably felt some doubt.

The reason for Xiaolei visiting Disheng was obvious; no doubt, she saw an opportunity under the guise of Zaizai’s birthday to get close to Huo Zhenyang.

But why had the two suddenly turned on each other like dogs fighting at Disheng, causing a rift?
