Chapter 905 - Unrepentant (1/2)

Besides, she had brought him to the Su residence. For the sake of her aunt, she also had no choice but to overthink, or worse, think in an unpleasant direction.

“I understand,” Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up as he tried his best to control his emotions. It was not the first time he had been misunderstood or framed anyway.

However, he had never been so disappointed, upset, angry, and sorrowful before. He could not stay any longer and turned to leave.

Ling Sheng looked at his cold and lonely back view and opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say either. She thumped herself on the head. Oh no, Huo Xuanzhou was angry at her question.

She had thought that with his frivolous personality, he should have an indifferent attitude toward everything. She had not expected him to get so angry. It was her fault for not thinking it through and suspecting him before she had concrete evidence.

After Huo Xuanzhou left, Ling Sheng kept feeling depressed. She tossed and turned on the bed with her phone, unable to fall asleep. She did not know how to apologize to him.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiyan looked at the worried young lady, who had been frowning the whole time, and reached out to grab her shoulder. If she continued squirming around, he would get dizzy. Ever since Huo Xuanzhou left, she had been in this state. “You suspect Huo Xuanzhou?”

Ling Sheng’s eyes widened abruptly as she looked at the man in front of her. His expression said everything.

She also felt that there was something wrong with her brain. When she saw General rush over and her aunt fall into the water, she had suspected Huo Xuanzhou then. Preconceived notions weren’t a good thing indeed.

“Sheng Sheng, the more someone appears not to care about anything on the surface, the more sensitive they are on the inside. It’s precisely because there are too few people he can treat with sincerity and care about. Hence, he cherishes them and is even more careful.” Upon seeing the young lady’s expression and recalling Huo Xuanzhou’s expression and actions when he left, Jun Shiyan could roughly guess what had happened between the two of them.

“Huo Xuanzhou doesn’t have a heart.” Although Ling Sheng said that, she knew very well inside that he was ruthless and behaved like a scumbag toward other people. However, he had always been honest toward her. He genuinely doted on her like a younger sister.

Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh and continued, “People like him are very similar to your father. After being suspected by someone he cares about, he will get angry. If he doesn’t care about you and doesn’t treat you as one of his own, he wouldn’t have been so emotional.”

“Third Master, should I find him and apologize to him officially?” Ling Sheng felt that she really seemed to have hurt Huo Xuanzhou’s heart unintentionally. She was also quite sad.

Before Jun Shiyan could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Su Jing ran in noisily and shouted while panting, “Sister Sheng Sheng, Huo Xuanzhou has been tied up. Uncle wants to whip him. Hurry up and take a look!”

Ling Sheng’s eyes suddenly constricted as she looked at Jun Shiyan. She had already guessed the cause of the incident. Everyone must have determined that her aunt had fallen into the water because of Huo Xuanzhou!

Upon seeing the young lady jump straight off the bed to run out, Jun Shiyan pulled at her and helped her put on her clothes properly. He only rushed over with her after wrapping himself tightly.

Su Jing had said that the servant had testified that he had seen Huo Xuanzhou walk past General’s residence. He was the only one he saw, so he suspected that he had released General.

His red scarf and his usual character made the Su Family suspect that he had done it, that he had planned everything deliberately. So, they brought him over to question him.

Ever since yesterday, Huo Ci had felt that there was something strange about Huo Xuanzhou’s visit. That brat must have been hiding something from him with Huo Xuanzhou. Thus, he got someone to investigate.

Not long ago, the investigation results had been given to him. Huo Xuanzhou was chasing after Su Yan and had even collected a lot of information. Now that something had happened, he was the number one suspect.

Everyone was standing in the Su Family’s living room. Aside from the old folks in the family, everyone was present. All of them were glaring at Huo Xuanzhou furiously.

Huo Xuanzhou knelt in the middle of the room and straightened his body, looking indifferent. He pretended not to see anything. Wasn’t it just a beating? It was not like he had not been beaten before!

“Ah Zhou, did you do this?” Huo Ci’s eyes were dangerous as he tossed a whip in his hand.
