620: Chapter 609: Shangguan Yunyang 620: Chapter 609: Shangguan Yunyang Outside Huo Qiuran’s villa, Huo Zhanyuan, the notoriously arrogant and domineering young master, was now being beaten to the point of crying for his parents.
“Don’t… Ahhh!”
A bloody tooth flew directly out of Huo Zhanyuan’s mouth as Ning Fan smashed his fist into the man’s face.
This ti, Ning Fan didn’t care about whether this guy was Huo Qiuran’s brother.
With such a brother who wanted to sell his sister, Ning Fan felt sad for Huo Qiuran as a sister.
“Stop hitting… I was wrong!
Spare , please!
Brother Ning, brother-in-law!”
Huo Zhanyuan, now looking like a swine, was completely scared.
He was used to being arrogant outside, but facing soone like Ning Fan, not bowing ant only getting beaten to death—a situation he hadn’t often encountered.
Moreover, this guy had thick skin, and just to avoid further beating, he had directly called out the title of brother-in-law.
Had this guy not used that title, Ning Fan might have cald down, but that call only ignited his anger further.
“People need a face, trees need bark, and Qiuran having you as a brother is enough!”
Ning Fan’s expression darkened.
He didn’t expect his beating to bring any remorse from Huo Zhanyuan but at least expected the man to have so sha, which apparently was too much to hope for.
Huo Zhanyuan’s face stiffened, his already swollen face a miserable sight.
He had thought his cunning might save him from further trouble, but to his dismay, Ning Fan beca even angrier.
What followed was a series of ruthless punches as if he was hamring flesh, not sparing him at all.
After smashing a few more of his teeth, Ning Fan grabbed Huo Zhanyuan by the collar and lifted him up.
“Tell , is Qiuran really your sister!”
“Yes, yes, of course!”
“So, just because she’s your sister, you think you can sell her off?”
Ning Fan scoffed, and the latter at this mont did not dare to speak.
Ning Fan’s gaze was simply too terrifying, and Huo Zhanyuan couldn’t even dare to et his eyes.
Seeing his cowardly and frightened deanor, Ning Fan felt sad for Huo Qiuran.
Was this really her family?
For so damn benefits, they could casually trade her out, treating it entirely like a business.
Perhaps for these people, familial ties don’t matter at all.
They only care about benefits, and anything beyond that… is just a joke.
In their world where benefits prevail, should they even discuss emotions?
Scoffing in his mind, Ning Fan threw Huo Zhanyuan to the ground, his gaze filled with loathing as he glanced at Huo Zhanyuan crawling towards the door of the villa.
“Disgusting!”
Huo Zhanyuan could hardly listen to what Ning Fan was saying.
Hearing the sound behind him, he collapsed to the ground like a bird startled by the re twang of a bow, hugging his head and trembling, seemingly afraid that Ning Fan might co over and beat him again.
“Don’t hit , don’t hit , I was wrong!”
After a severe beating, Huo Zhanyuan was considerably more subdued.
Previously, still making arrogant taunts at Ning Fan, he now had absolutely no thought of angering Ning Fan anymore.
This man, simply put, was a bully who feared the tough and resorted to being an!
“Hmph, stay far away from in the future, don’t let see you again!”
After leaving that comnt, Ning Fan turned and left the place.
Relieved, Huo Zhanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then fled into the villa as if escaping.
He had originally planned to take his female companion out for a joyful ti, not expecting to encounter Ning Fan there and even mockingly taunt him a few tis.
Now he couldn’t leave, and Huo Zhanyuan could only inwardly curse his bad luck, while his resentnt towards Ning Fan deepened even further.
…
In the distant Jiangcheng, Huo Qiuran lay on the bed, her face haggard as she silently shed tears.
This woman, often seen as the Zhonghai Queen in the eyes of many n and won, now showed her most vulnerable side, far from the strong and aloof image rumored in the outside world.
Because she was about to marry soone she didn’t like, Huo Qiuran could only endure the pain in her heart alone.
The word “interests” is truly complex; for the sake of family interests, the Huo Family was forced to marry Huo Qiuran to Shangguan Family’s Shangguan Yunyang, regardless of how unwilling she was in her heart, but what could be done?
The Huo Family was declining day by day, almost reaching its end.
If not for the support of another family at this ti, the Huo Family’s position would likely beco increasingly awkward.
For this reason, the Shangguan Family in Jiangcheng seed like a good marital match for the Huo Family.
In Jiangcheng, the Shangguan Family had at least a hundred years of history, with profound heritage.
If they could form an alliance with this powerful family, the Huo Family could be revitalized and even reach greater heights.
“Why…
Ning Fan, where are you…”
She wasn’t supposed to think of Ning Fan, but even now Huo Qiuran’s mind was still occupied by his image, leaving no space for anything else.
Lying in bed, in this ho, Huo Qiuran felt no warmth.
The cold touch surrounded her completely.
She could only curl up, trying to protect herself, yet still had to suffer from the pain coming from different directions.
Recalling past mories, Huo Qiuran’s tears kept streaming uncontrollably; her eyes had turned completely red – strong as she was, now she could only try to suppress her sobs.
Gradually, perhaps truly exhausted, she fell asleep.
That night she had a beautiful dream, in which she both cried and laughed.
But when she woke up, the beautiful dream declared its end, and Huo Qiuran was about to face her nightmare.
“Miss, Young Master Shangguan has arrived.”
The housekeeper pushed open the door and inford Huo Qiuran of Shangguan Yunyang’s arrival.
Huo Qiuran’s delicate body on the bed trembled, she clenched her hands, biting her pink lips with so defiance and helplessness.
“…
I know, Auntie Wu, you may leave now.”
The sound of footsteps gradually faded, but the door was not shut.
Huo Qiuran, puzzled, climbed out of bed and instinctively looked toward the doorway.
When she saw the cold and tall figure at the door, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
“You don’t change into your pajamas for sleep, just like that, aren’t you afraid of getting sick?”
The words seed caring, but the tone was very commanding; the cold, handso man standing at the bedroom door wore a finely tailored white suit, dashing and imposing.
The visitor was none other than Shangguan Family’s eldest son, Shangguan Yunyang, who was also Huo Qiuran’s fiancé.
Huo Qiuran looked at Shangguan Yunyang, struggling in her gaze, but in the end, it only turned into a hint of resignation.
“What are you doing here?”
“Can’t I co to see my fiancée?” Shangguan Yunyang asked with a slight smile, staring straight at Huo Qiuran’s face.
“You cried, are you that unhappy to marry ?”
