I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Idea

Huo Ce threw the tablet computer in his hand and said angrily, “Han Chi, what are you doing?”

Han Chi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had already spread the word to all the media yesterday. No one would offend President Huo no matter how bold they were!

“Huo Ce, did you see the news?” Lin Xin barged in without knocking. Excitement flashed across her eyes, but her face was filled with anxiety when she saw the shattered tablet on the ground.

Huo Ce remained silent with a cold expression.

Lin Xin walked over and said carefully, “Huo Ce, is Ning Wan especially sad now? Don’t blame her for this. She’s a weak woman and can’t resist. There’s nothing she can do about such a thing…”

Huo Ce looked at Lin Xin coldly. “Do you think Ning Wan was sexually assaulted?”

Huo Ce’s gaze seemed to be devouring people.

Lin Xin flinched and held the cell phone in her hand. She braced herself and said, “That’s what it’s said online. I was thinking that I should comfort Ning Wan.”

Huo Ce glared at her. “Do you want to comfort her or kill her?”

Lin Xin quickly lowered her gaze. “No, I didn’t. Huo Ce, you’ve misunderstood. I, I, I just want to share your burden.”

Lin Xin’s voice gradually became softer.

Huo Ce glared at her and turned to Han Chi. “Investigate who did it! I want this person to die a horrible death!”

Huo Ce’s every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Lin Xin’s body could not help but tremble. “Huo Ce, d-don’t be angry. Those m-media, they only did what they had to do.”

Huo Ce glanced at her coldly. “What do you mean by what they had to do?”

He turned to look at Han Chi. “Han Chi, go and teach them what they have to do!”

“Yes!” Han Chi agreed loudly and turned to leave.

Huo Ce was still angry and had an angry face. The two bodyguards at the door did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Lin Xin calmed herself down and organized her words again. She went forward and said gently, “Huo Ce, don’t be sad. Now that the matter has already happened, the most important thing is to minimize the impact on the Huo family and you!”

Huo Ce did not move.

Lin Xin was delighted when she saw this. She then advised, “Huo Ce, you’re the head of the Huo family. For so many years, you’ve put in all your effort for the Huo family. You can’t ruin everything you’ve worked so hard to build because of these miscellaneous matters.”

Huo Ce still did not move.

Lin Xin relaxed. “Even though Ning Wan is pitiful, she’s really not worth anything compared to the Huo family’s reputation. If you can’t bear to see her like this, we can just give her more money. We’ll announce to the public that you’ve already divorced her. You only saved her that day because of your past relationship. Then, I’ll find a few media outlets to do an exclusive interview for you and lure the matter to our new project. What do you think?”

Huo Ce slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Xin. “Your arrangements are really meticulous!”

Lin Xin smiled softly. “Huo Ce, we’ve been friends since we were young. Your business is my business. How can I not think for you? Don’t worry, even though this small matter is being discussed everywhere now, it will be forgotten in a few days. Therefore, as long as Ning Wan doesn’t appear in front of others as the Young Madam of the Huo family in the future, everything will be fine.”

Huo Ce looked at Lin Xin steadily, his gaze turning cold bit by bit, but a small smile appeared on his lips. “What a meticulous plan!”

Only then did Lin Xin feel that something was wrong. Her smile became a little stiff, and she did not know how to respond.

Huo Ce said word by word, “Let’s wait a little longer. I want to see which media dares to frame my Huo family and create trouble out of nothing!”

Lin Xin’s heart skipped a beat. “No, there’s no need, right? Huo Ce, you know that the media, they, are very good at making groundless accusations, isn’t it? Why do you have to fuss with them about it?”

“Don’t fuss about it? Heh, if I, Huo Ce, don’t even fuss about such a thing, wouldn’t I be seen as a joke?” Huo Ce’s smile was as if it had been frozen.

Lin Xin’s heart was pounding. Only now did she realize that she might have been too hasty. She was hoping that Han Chi would not be able to find who did it, but Han Chi’s ability—

Lin Xin’s forehead could not help but sweat. For a moment, she did not know how to continue.

Huo Ce had seen countless people. Lin Xin’s timely appearance made him suspicious. It was just that he could not easily convict her without evidence.
