Mrs. Huo Is Known for Her Predictions of Misfortune

Who Sent It?

Ye Sui was not stupid. It had not been easy for her to snatch Zhou Chen from Ye Yao. Zhou Chen was still carrying a torch for Ye Yao. What if the interaction between the two resulted1 in a revival of their relationship?

Tang Sumei comforted Ye Sui. “What are you thinking? Ye Yao can forget about being my daughter-in-law in this lifetime. I will only acknowledge you, and no one else, as my daughter-in-law. But now we have to resolve the issue. Don’t worry, Ye Yao has found a powerful backing now. She’s being kept by a powerful man. But once she’s abandoned, just watch how I’ll deal with her! You may have to suffer for the time being. We’ve just arrived at the imperial capital. We can’t be chased out without having achieved anything.”

Although Ye Sui was most unwilling, what else could she say since Tang Sumei had already spoken?

Tang Sumei’s gaze fell on Zhou Chen. “Son, it’s going to be hard on you, to have to interact with Ye Yao for a while more. We’ll need you to tell her that you still love her and want to get back together with her. Entice her and persuade her to remove the restaurant’s ban on us. Once that’s done, you may abandon her.”

Zhou Chen could barely hide the joy on his face. He grew up pampered and protected by Tang Sumei and Zhou Jianzhong, and did not care about those business matters at all. He was very happy now, since his mother had now asked him to take the initiative in contacting Ye Yao. Furthermore, Ye Sui was unable to intervene. Perhaps, the forbidden fruit is often more desirable. In the past, when Ye Yao belonged to him, he did not have such strong feelings for her. But now, every time he saw Ye Yao, he found himself fantasizing about her and lusting after her…

In the restaurant. Gao Qiao patted Huo Buyu’s shoulder. “Today’s meal is on me. Take it as an apology. I was scammed yesterday, and had no idea of this whole situation. Hence let’s leave this episode about the blind date behind us.”

Although Gao Qiao was a playboy, he was a loyal buddy. Just like how he had given Ye Yao to Huo Buyu without hesitation yesterday, when Huo Buyu indicated his interest in Ye Yao. If it had been someone else making such a suggestion, the man would have gotten into a fight.

Huo Buyu put one arm around Ye Yao and punched Gao Qiao with his other hand. “Don’t even mention it. Don’t you think I know you well enough? It’s water under the bridge. Let’s leave it behind us.”

Gao Qiao laughed upon hearing Huo Buyu’s words, and then turned to Ye Yao. “What was going on back there? From what they were saying, it seems the man standing outside in a daze is your ex-boyfriend?”

Huo Buyu’s expression instantly darkened. He thought of Zhou Chen, whom he had just met. With just one look, he could see through that man’s nature. Cowardly with no sense of responsibility, running away at the first sign of trouble. That man had no sense of responsibility at all. Huo Buyu did not understand how Ye Yao could have liked such a man.

Ye Yao hooked her arm around Huo Buyu’s hand, then clasped her hands together and bowed to Gao Qiao. “Big Brother, please spare me. Let’s never mention this matter again, for even I am disgusted. I was young and blind in the past to have taken a fancy to such a person.”

Gao Qiao was instantly amused. This was the first time he had seen Huo Buyu being jealous. He could tell that his buddy cared a lot for Ye Yao, so it was very likely that Ye Yao would become his buddy’s wife in the future.

Just as the dishes were being served, an alert sounded on Ye Yao’s phone. It was a text message: [Ye Yao, don’t be too smug! Gao Qiao is a famous playboy. It may seem like he dotes on you now, but it won’t be long before he dumps you. Just watch out, I’ll deal with you then!]

The message was from an unknown number, but from the tone, it was obvious that it was Ye Sui. Ye Yao rubbed her chin momentarily and realized something. So it appeared that the Zhou family and Ye Sui thought she was with Gao Qiao. Which meant… Qin Jiao didn’t tell them that her boyfriend was Huo Buyu? That was interesting.

Shouldn’t Qin Jiao and Yang Ya be in the same boat as the Ye and Zhou families? Why didn’t they share such important information? However, on second thought, Ye Yao realized, whether it was Ye Tianhao, Qin Jiao, or the Zhou family, each of these parties cared only for their own interests. They had no affections for each other, and would only make use of each other. Ye Tianhao was one who would bully the weak and fear the strong. If he knew that her boyfriend was Huo Buyu, would he still dare to target her? Given that scenario, Qin Jiao and Yang Ya would lose a powerful ally.

Thinking of this made Ye Yao feel sorry for herself. What kind of family had she been born into?

Huo Buyu turned around and happened to see Ye Yao’s phone screen. He took the phone from her after noticing the message. “Who sent this?”
