AKIT7 168




Chapter 168


Why was this woman here again?

The moment they saw Wang Anna, Da Qiao and the group all had this thought in their minds.

Although a good few years had passed, Wang Anna's arrogant appearance was still vivid in everyone's memory. Except for the driver and little Wu-er, who didn't know her, no one welcomed her.

The smile on Dai Shu Fang's face disappeared almost instantly. She frostily uttered: "What bad luck! Let's go in!"

Huo Chi coldly looked at Wang Anna. His dark eyes were full of warning, which made the other party shudder.

Wang Anna had been silent all this time, not because she wanted to pretend to be aloof nor because she wanted to be mysterious. But because she was too shocked!

She still remembered Dai Shu Fang's head being half covered by white hair seven or eight years ago. After twelve years of grinding on the farm, she had prematurely aged. Her complexion was unsightly. And there were many crow's feet in the corners of her eyes.

She was in her thirties at the time, but looked like she was in her forties!

She thought that she would definitely see an old woman when she came here this time. Unexpectedly, the other party’s appearance would reverse!

Her black hair was black and smooth. Definitely not the effect that can be achieved by dyeing. Her face was rosy. While her body was plump. Not bloated and fat. The perfect plumpness. Quite feminine.

When she got out of the car, her face was full of beauty. There was mirth in the corner of her eyes and mouth. One can tell that she was living a happy and comfortable life.

But how could it be like this?

It shouldn't be like this!

The other party should have white hair, wrinkled face, haggard complexion, and a face full of sadness because of not being loved by her husband. This was what Dai Shu Fang should look like!

Wang Anna’s eyes were fixated on Dai Shu Fang. She didn’t recover from the shock for a long time.

Seeing that Dai Shu Fang and others were about to enter the house, she quickly said, "Wait a minute!"

Her voice wasn’t as loud and clear as it was back then. It was the same as her appearance, carrying a clear feebleness.

Da Qiao and the others ignored her. Not a pause in their steps, they went straight to the door and closed the door. While the driver drove away to pick up old Mister Huo.

How could Wang Anna let them go like this? She weakly ran up and demanded, "Dai Shu Fang, open the door. I have something to tell you!"

But there was no movement inside. She could only ring the doorbell. After a while, someone came out.

The one who came out was Huo Chi.

His dark gaze looked at her and he gave her one word: "Scram!"

Seeing Huo Chi coming out, Wang Anna immediately took a step back in fright. Now she was yelled at, her heart beat fast.

Back then, she felt that Huo Chi was like a wolf cub, staring at her bloodthirsty in the dark. As if the other party would pounce on her and bite her to pieces at the slight inattentiveness!

Wang Anna finally left, running away like a bereaved dog.

However, she didn't go back to Xiangjiang. Instead, she stayed in a hotel near Huo Family and asked people to investigate Huo Family's affairs.

Huo Family was considered a respectable household in the capital. So it wasn’t difficult to investigate. Within two days, she got the detailed information.

But after reading the information, she felt even more miserable!

Dai Shu Fang remarried to a wealthy professor who was her childhood sweetheart. The two had a son. Huo Hua Qing, the former father-in-law, and Huo Chi, the son, didn’t oppose this. Instead, they fully supported her. The family lived together in harmony!

Wang Anna stared at the document in her hand. Her eyes were about to burst into flame as her chest heaved violently.

God was so unfair. She got breast cancer and had one breast removed. Two months ago, her breast cancer recurred again. The doctor said that treatment was useless.

In other words, she was doomed this time. She will go to the underworld soon. But she didn’t want to admit defeat!

She wasn’t yet forty years old. Why should she suffer such a crime?

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Then she thought of Dai Shu Fang. She felt that the main reason why she got this disease was because of the other party.

Because of her sudden appearance, the relationship between her and Huo Zheng Chen deteriorated. This resulted in them quarreling every day. Which in turn, caused her to be angry every day. The doctor said that this disease had a lot to do with her mood. That was to say, she was like this because of Dai Shu Fang’s doing!

Since she was about to die, she decided to come to the capital to see Dai Shu Fang before her end. As long as she saw the other party’s life was worse than her own, then she could die in peace!

It was just that she never anticipated Dai Shu Fang to not live a miserable life. Instead, she lived a wonderful life of happiness. Her husband, son, and careers all ushered in a second spring!

Why! ! !

Wang Anna's eyes were red. She tore up all the documents in her hand and threw them into the air!

In the next few days, Wang Anna stayed near Huo's house every day like a stalker. Later, she saw Dai Shu Fang's professor husband and her youngest son. She also witnessed the way the other party was held in the palm of their hands and was cared for.

Her sight was painted red with jealousy!

Every time she saw it, her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her with a sharp knife. Still, she couldn't stop herself from coming over and watch!

It went without saying Huo Family discovered Wang Anna's strange behavior.

They had reported it to the police. It was just Wang Anna didn’t do anything to them. Second, Wang Anna was an overseas Chinese from Country Mi. The domestic police cannot detain her if the other party hadn’t broken the law.

Huo Chi and Zhong Kang De had considered stealthily attacking Wang Anna. But that woman would never come alone. What’s more, she would tell the front desk of the hotel every time where she went. Taking action wasn’t easy.

Huo Family was disgusted by this troublemaker, Wang Anna, but there was nothing they could do about her. They could only be careful.

On this day, Dai Shu Fang received a call from the nursery, saying that a child in the nursery had fallen down and was unconscious. The parents had stormed to the nursery.

At such a time, the boss, Dai Shu Fang had to go there. But the car at home was driven out. She felt that it was daytime and no matter how crazy Wang Anna was, she wouldn’t dare to attack her.

So she changed her clothes and went out.

But as soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, Wang Anna rushed out of the car and blocked her way.

Dai Shu Fang looked at Wang Anna who was getting more and more haggard. Raising her eyebrows, she said, "Wang Anna, what exactly do you want?"

Although Wang Anna hadn't done anything excessive these days, just staying near Huo’s house like time, she was like a time bomb. Who knows when she will blow up.

Since she can't hold back now, why not take the opportunity to sort it out once and for all!

Wang Anna's protruding eyes stared at her rosy cheeks and she sharply shrieked, "Why didn't you die? Why didn't you grow old? How did you do it?"

Seeing how crazy she looked, Dai Shu Fang took two vigilant steps back. Seeing her like this, Wang Anna thought she was going to run away. She reached out and grabbed her arm!

Pain emitted in her arm. Dai Shu Fang struggled hard: "Wang Anna, are you crazy? Let me go or I will call the police!"

Wang Anna seemed to be a little out of her mind. She tightly grabbed her arm: "Tell me, how did you do it? Is there a wizard around you? Tell me his name!!"

She felt that Dai Shu Fang’s appearance reversal must be due to the help of an expert. If she could get to know this expert, maybe he could cure her cancer!

Her two children were still young. She didn't want to die yet. Nor was she willing to die like this!

Dai Shu Fang didn't expect her to be so strong when she was in a frenzy. Her arm was already bleeding. The pain made her gasp.

At this moment, a man rushed up and forcefully pulled Wang Anna away.

No matter how strong Wang Anna was, she couldn't win against the strength of a man. In an instant, she dragged away and almost bumped her head against the wall next to her.

Saved, Dai Shu Fang was about to express her thanks to the other party. But when she looked up and saw the other party's face, her mouth froze.

It was Huo Zheng Chen.

Huo Zheng Chen looked at her bleeding arm. Frowning, he asked with concern, "You're bleeding. I'll take you to the hospital."

Dai Shu Fang shook her head: "No need. Just a little injury..."

But before she finished speaking, Wang Anna went crazy again.

She dashed toward Huo Zheng Chen, and greeted his face with her nails: "You feel distressed now? Huo Zheng Chen, you lowly man, you have to remember that I am your wife. Are you not afraid of lightning strikes when you treat me like this?"

"Have you not stirred up enough trouble?!" Huo Zheng Chen pulled her hand and shouted angrily.

Her breast cancer had recently occurred again. He ran around everywhere to find a doctor for her. But this woman told him that she didn't want to be treated anymore. She just wanted to go back to home country to recuperate.

Since his persuasion was ineffective, he personally sent her to the giant ship back to Country Mi. Unexpectedly, she would come to trouble Dai Shu Fang as soon as he turned his head around!

This woman was simply too frustrating!

Wang Anna was fuming and aggrieved in her heart: "I was forced by you to this unreasonable and troublemaking state. If you didn't miss this woman so much, why would I make trouble with you? And how could I have such a disease? It’s the two of you who harmed me. Even if I die, I will drag you to hell!"

Huo Zheng Chen’s limit to tolerating her crazy behavior had reached its max. The couple quarreled at the entrance of the alley like this.

Dai Shu Fang looked at the two people in front of her and found it extremely absurd and disgusting!

At this time, Zhong Kang De came over.

Today, Zhong Kang De felt his left eye keep twitching. There was a feeling that something was going to happen. So he rushed home immediately after class. Out of his anticipation, he came across this scene when he arrived at the alley.

He ran up with long legs. When he saw the bloodstain on Dai Shu Fang's arm, rage coursed through him. He turned around and punched Huo Zheng Chen!

Huo Zheng Chen only knew that a man was running over. And before he could see his face clearly, he was punched in the left cheek!

His face was distorted from the hit and his mouth tasted iron.

A moment ago, Wang Anna wanted to die with Huo Zheng Chen. But now that she saw him being beaten, her heart ached again. With a turn of a head, she intended to beat Zhong Kang De.

Zhong Kang De pushed her away in disgust and hollered: "Get out! If it were for the fact that I never hit women, you would definitely not be able to get out of this alley today!"

Being pushed back, Wang Anna kept retreating back. Her head hit the wall behind her hard. She was rendered dizzy for a while.

At this time, Huo Zheng Chen had already seen the person coming. At first, he didn't recognize Zhong Kang De, just found him familiar. After all, they had been separated for so many years. On top of that, he had lost his memory for more than ten years. He had long forgotten about him.

But soon he remembered.

But when he saw Zhong Kang De clutching Dai Shu Fang's arm with a distressed expression, his heart twisted.

"What's your relationship?" He stared at the two’s arms and asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhong Kang De wanted to attack him again, but was stopped by Dai Shu Fang. She stepped forward and declared, "Kang De and I are already married. Our son is already over one year old!"

When Huo Zheng Chen heard this, he was struck by lightning and stared at the two of them in disbelief.

The feeling between him and Wang Anna had been worn away in the quarrel. The more Wang Anna made trouble, the more he thought of Dai Shu Fang.

He once thought about divorcing Wang Anna and coming back to fight for Dai Shu Fang; begging her to forgive him and give him another chance.

It was just that Wang Anna fell ill. Following this, Country Mi encountered an economic crisis. Many of his assets in the Country Mi went bankrupt. He had to return to the Country Mi to deal with them and then slowly transferred it to Xiangjiang.

When his career improved slightly, Wang Anna's illness relapsed again. His idea of divorce was suppressed again.

But he never expected that Dai Shu Fang and Zhong Kang De would get together and have a son!

His heart felt as if it was choked so hard that he could barely breathe.

With a blank expression, Dai Shu Fang stated : "I am living a very good life now. Quite blissed. I hope you two will stop harassing me. Or even, not appear in front of us again!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Huo Zheng Chen's heart once again and causing it to drip with blood.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Dai Shu Fang turned to look at Wang Anna: "You asked me just now why I didn't grow old, but lived younger and younger. That's because I'm different from you. I never make things difficult for myself. When I found out that Zheng Chen married you, I completely let go of my relationship with him. You don't have to guard me like I’m a thief. I don’t care at all!"

What you regard as a treasure was actually a pile of garbage in my eyes. So you better hide it and don't take it out to disgust people!

Huo Zheng Chen felt extremely uncomfortable. He looked at her with sorrowful eyes and then voiced out word by word: "Don't worry, this is the last time. We will never bother you again in the future!"

As he spoke, he pulled Wang Anna up and forced her to leave.

This time, he personally escorted Wang Anna back to Country Mi and sent her to a nursing home. Without his permission, Wang Anna couldn’t go anywhere.

Six months later, Wang Anna died in the nursing home.

Huo Zheng Chen sold Xiangjiang's property and sent half of it to Huo Family. He returned to Country with his two children and devoted himself to educating and raising them.

Of course, this was a future matter.

At this moment, after Huo Zheng Chen and Wang Anna left, Zhong Kang De grabbed Dai Shu Fang's hand and said in distress, "Let’s go. I'll take you to the hospital."

Dai Shu Fang shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm rushing to the nursery now. Do you want to go with me?"

After the incident between Wang Anna and Huo Zheng Chen, Zhong Kang De couldn’t be assured to let her go out alone. It went without saying he followed.

Dai Shu Fang stretched out her hand to take his hand and interlocked his fingers.

Zhong Kang De’s body trembled slightly. He looked down at her and her figure was reflected in his eyes. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

He and Dai Shu Fang looked at each other and smiled. They walked out of the alley side by side.

The sun shone on them, casting two shadows clinging to each other on the ground.

——

Huo Chi and his two partners’ company changed offices for the third time. They moved to a high-tech industrial area newly developed by the government. The office occupied an entire floor.

After they changed offices, Da Qiao never went there because she was busy learning her skills from her master.

This weekend, it was rare for both of them to be free. So Huo Chi drove her to the company himself.

The name of the partnership company Huo Chi was ‘Zhongsheng Communication Technology Company’. Huo Chi held 49% of the shares. The other two partners shared the remaining 51% equally.

In other words, Huo Chi alone had the absolute right to speak on the company's development. Still, he respected the other two partners. Everyone discussed many things.

So far, the trio's relationship was as good as ever.

Because it was the weekend, no one in the company went to work. When Huo Chi led her in, the whole office was quiet.

Before Da Qiao came, she thought that the company managed by the three of them must be very straight-male. The result was beyond her expectations.

The company's design and layout follow a cool and simple style. Despite its simplicity, it didn’t give off the vibe of simplicity. Instead, it felt fashionable everywhere, which was in line with what a communication technology company should be.

"Elder Brother Huo Chi, did you ask someone to make this design?" Da Qiao asked curiously.

Huo Chi shook his head: "No, I designed it."

Da Qiao’s watery eyes looked up at him: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are amazing. I didn't know you knew how to design!"

Huo Chi looked at her misty like small animals eyes, leaned over, and kissed her on the lips, "There are many things you don't know!"

Da Qiao blushed slightly, pushed him, and replied, "How is it possible? Is there anything else about you that I don't know about?"

Huo Chi’s ink-like eyes stared at her. He raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Although Da Qiao didn't quite understand what he meant, but for some reason, she always felt that something was amiss. Her face turned redder, like a fresh and juicy peach.

She turned her head and hurriedly pretended to examine the office to avoid his provoking eyes.

Although the office occupied an entire floor, it wasn’t humongous. The tour was finished after a while.

Huo Chi took her hand and led her to his office, "Come, let me show you something nice."

Da Qiao obediently let him hold her hands and the two came to the office.

The style of Huo Chi's office was the same as the outside. It was also a simple design, but there was a pot of jasmine and a pot of roses in the corner. Both pots of flowers were in full bloom and the room was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

When Da Qiao saw the two potted flowers, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a slight dimple.

These two potted flowers were given to him by her. She didn't expect him to move them to the office and keep them so well.

Finally, he didn't waste her thoughts in vain.

Huo Chi opened the drawer and took out a black brick-shaped object from it. It looked bulky. The size wasn’t small.

When Da Qiao saw this thing, she immediately leaned over and asked curiously, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, is this what you want me to see? What is it?"

Huo Chi said, "Cellular phone."


The author had something to say: Huo Chi: Is Da Qiao craving for my body?

Da Qiao: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense

    1. me too but it was his choice to pick Wang Anna so he should be responsible for it. Moreover he shouldn't expect that DSF would still accept him after wronging her for so many years like imagine how much she suffered after HZC went missing then suddenly he appeared with a wife.
