Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 325

It was rare for Zhong Yuhuan to inspect the Zhong company personally. After she finished and was at the lobby, an employee came over and bowed, President Zhong, there is someone outside wanting to see you, calling herself your relative.

As the employee said this, they frowned.

Who could call themselves Miss Zhongs relatives? Only the old Mr. Ding, Mr. Lang, Mr. Huo, and Mr. Li can! No one else! This person is really bold, daring to pretend to be a member of her family!

Zhong Yuhuan was also doubtful.

Her relative?

Her relatives could all just call her.

No, they didnt even need to call her. They could directly come in and wait for her in the lounge.

Zhong Yuhuan just happened to be leaving the building. As she did, she looked out the gates for the person whom the employee had said was a relative wanting to see her.

You, youre Zhong Yuhuan? A plump middle-aged woman in purple quickly waddled in front of her.

The bodyguards immediately blocked her.

Although Zhong Yuhuan was suspicious of her identity, she still politely asked the woman who she was.

Im Huo Chengmings aunt! Really! The middle-aged woman patted her chest, even bringing out her ID card.

Zhong Yuhuan looked at her ID card: Huo Damei.

Zhong Yuhuan almost burst into laughter, wondering if Huo Chengming couldve had a name like Huo Xiaogou* when he was little.

*The Damei part of Huo Damei literally means big plum (blossom) and Xiaogou means little dog. Both are considered very unsophisticated (its like naming someone Plum or Puppy).

Zhong Yuhuan calmly looked at Huo Damei, asking, Is there anything you need?

Huo Damei reached out, wanting to grab Zhong Yuhuan. You and Huo Chengming are siblings, right? You have to call him older brother, right? I heard that hes very good towards you, very caring. Im begging you, please ask him to let us go, ah, let us go

What? Zhong Yuhuan was stunned.

Hes about to kill all of us! Us, his family! How could he do this? Please, tell him to let us go

With Huo Dameis shouting, a few more people came over.

They varied in age, but all of them looked desperate and fatigued. There was even an old woman wearing patched clothing. Who still wore patched clothing in this era?

Were begging you These people pleaded together. There were even some who knelt down.

Standing there, Zhong Yuhuan began to slowly frown, feeling a bit at a loss for an instant.

They did look very pitiable.

But no matter how pitiable they were, she could care less.

Especially after learning of Huo Chengmings experiences before he went to the orphanage.

Coincidentally, Ling Lan just got out of her car. She had come to look for Zhong Yuhuan.

Before getting too close, she saw a group of people surrounding her and pleading for mercy.

But Zhong Yuhuan stood behind her bodyguards, motionless.

It was like a bucket of cold water poured on Ling Lan, startling her and clearing her mind.

Zhong Yuhuans this ruthless?

Ling Lan grinded her teeth and turned back to the car.

No matter whether or not Zhong Yuhuan was really ruthless, the main point was that Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan were by her side. The two most powerful people of the original story were already hers.

If Ling Lan still clung to them, what would be the consequences? Would she get what she wanted or or become like those people, begging for mercy?

No, she refused to end up like that.

Ling Lan went through the plot again in her mind.

She couldnt help but admit that reality was already too different from the story.

At this point, even if she did continue to use her tactics from the original story to deal with them, it wouldnt work So what should she do?

Ling Lan looked out the car window at a loss.

Wasnt her rebirth for her to become one of the elite?

Zhong Yuhuan was completely unaware that Ling Lan had come and was scared back by the tragic appearance of Huo Damei and her family.

Zhong Yuhuan stared at the crowd of people kneeling in front of her, anger igniting in her heart. She said impatiently, Its up to Huo Chengming. How can I persuade him? And plus, the people who got the compensation money and drove away the child that year were you guys, was it not? Isnt it enough that youve lived happily for so many years? Are you unaware of the consequences after karma has hit?

What compensation money? Huo Damei shook her head, snot, and tears all over her face. I have no idea what youre talking about

Zhong Yuhuan naturally believed that Huo Chengming wouldnt lie, so Huo Damei had to be the one lying.

After all, people in the wrong would never admit their wrongdoings.

Then what do you want? Zhong Yuhuan asked impatiently.

Huo Damei wiped away her tears. Hes already forced us to the end of our ropes. My eyes are about to go blind after delaying the surgery. My son is still at the hospital. His uncles lost their jobs. Were all his family, yet we cant even afford a meal now, or have a place to stay Go tell him to return our house to us

Zhong Yuhuan immediately lost all of her patience.

She turned around, about to instruct her bodyguards to chase them away when a car stopped by the road. The car door opened and Huo Chengming walked out briskly with a calm expression.

You want a house? Why didnt you come straight to me? he spoke.

Without him coming any closer, Huo Damei already seemed to be electrocuted, her limbs twitching, her body trembling, her face full of tears and snot. Her throat also seemed to be blocked, unable to speak a single syllable.

Huo Chengming walked over to Zhong Yuhuan, using one hand to shield her behind him, then frowned in disgust. Do you still want it?

Huo Damei was very scared of him.

Scared to death.
