…
Within a short time, news of Huo Jingtang’s wicked deeds flooded the entertainment circle. Everyone finally knew all the terrible things Huo Jingtang had done before.
What the netizens could not tolerate the most was the truth of Huo Yunshen’s car accident five years ago. It turned out to be a conspiracy by Huo Jingtang that caused the international movie king to become disabled.
Also, he had hit Xue Yating with his own car out of revenge just because she had rejected him. This obviously showed how vicious his heart was.
In a short time, the truth of Huo Jingtang’s evil deeds greatly angered the public. The netizens not only did not sympathize with the fact that he was crippled, but also condemned him, saying that he deserved his misfortune for his sins.
In the hospital, Huo Jingtang lay on the hospital bed in his ward, both of his legs in casts. He could not move at all—he might as well have been dead.
His heart was full of resentment and hatred towards Huo Yunshen. He resented that he could not hatefully tear Huo Yunshen into pieces at that very moment.
He heard the clicking of high heels coming from outside the door, louder and louder until it stopped and the ward door opened.
Huo Jingtang lifted his head to look and saw a glamorously dressed woman coming in through the door. It was Xu Xinrou.
Xu Xinrou’s slender hips swayed from side to side as she strutted in. She went up to the bed and stood looming over the man on it, looked up and down at him from head to toe. “Tsk, tsk. Looks like President Huo has been doing well lately!”
Huo Jingtang’s face darkened. “Are you here to ridicule me?”
Yes, Xu Xinrou was here to ridicule him.
She remembered that back when she was hospitalized because of her miscarriage, Huo Jingtang had not helped her, nor had he supported her at that dire time, but had chosen to abandon her heartlessly. Now that he was in trouble, she would definitely not give up such a good chance to humiliate him.
“It could be said that news about President Huo has been all over the place these past few days. President Huo, you probably have no hope of redeeming yourself.”
“I heard that it was Huo Yunshen who beat you up in revenge?”
“I also heard that he ruined your manhood and broke your legs. You’re going to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, am I right?”
“I wonder…what do you call this? Isn’t this called karma? Hahaha…”
Originally, Huo Jingtang was feeling terrible inside, but after being mocked by Xu Xinrou, he felt as though someone had sprinkled glass fragments into his wound.
His face darkened as he glared at her. “Xu Xinrou, don’t forget that we’ve shared a relationship in the past. As the saying goes: once a lover, always a lover. How can you be so vicious and deliberately rub salt into my wounds?”
After listening to his words, Xu Xinrou couldn’t help but clap her hands. “Haha! Well said! Once a lover, always a lover indeed. I was so dedicated in helping you achieve your goals, but when I had a miscarriage, how did you treat me? Not only did you not comfort me, but you also abandoned me and made me a laughing stock. I do remember this score very clearly!”
“…”
Huo Jingtang was silent. He used to hear the saying that the vilest is a woman’s heart. Now, he finally understood.
Xu Xinrou, this woman, was so vile that it was infuriating.
Xu Xinrou saw how defeated and helpless Huo Jingtang looked and she felt very gleeful inside. “Well, I’m not the kind of person who forgets old friendships. Anyways, you’ve helped me before, so I can’t just stand aside and not help you.”
