Chapter 194: This Matter Is Over

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was only at night when the police force in Shengjing released the relevant official documents. The official documents clearly stated that Lu Yingxin had been arrested for a criminal offense, but they did not elaborate on the details. Lin Xiaowan asked Huo Zheng, “Will she be tried for this? Does this mean that everything about me and her will be revealed in court?”

Huo Zheng had already considered this problem. He gently stroked Lin Xiaowan’s hair and said, “The trial won’t be made public. There won’t be news about her after this. Don’t worry.”

Just as Huo Zheng said, Lu Yingxin’s matter went silent after some time.

It was only when Lin Xiaowan went shopping with Gu Yuwu that she learned that Lu Yingxin’s trial had ended and that Lu Yingxin had been sent to the women’s prison in the west of the city.

As Lin Xiaowan looked at a gemstone cufflink, she said, “The matter ended so quickly. She’s still young. I hope that she’ll repent before she’s released in the future.”

Gu Yuwu smiled and did not say anything. In her opinion, based on what she knew about the Huo family, it would be difficult for Lu Yingxin to be released from prison.

“What do you think about this ruby cufflink? Does it suit Huo Zheng?” Lin Xiaowan asked.

The two women continued to shop and chat. At some point, Huo Zheng called to ask where Lin Xiaowan was. He also urged her to drink more water and not drink cold drinks. The phone call lasted for twenty minutes, and Lin Xiaowan nodded the entire time.

When Huo Zheng’s nagging finally ended, Gu Yuwu was speechless.

‘Isn’t this man a little too long-winded?’

Lin Xiaowan, on the other hand, did not mind Huo Zheng’s nagging. However, when she thought about Huo Zheng’s recent behavior, a slightly troubled expression appeared on her face as she said, “I feel like Huo Zheng has been acting a little strange recently. It’s as though he’s doing something behind my back.”

Gu Yuwu’s ears pricked up immediately. “What do you mean?”

“Put everything else aside, yesterday, when I woke up from my afternoon nap, he was on the phone. However, as soon as he saw that 1 was awake, he hurriedly ended the call. Moreover, the call was clearly not related to his work. I asked him about it, but he was very vague about it,” Lin Xiaowan said with a pout.

Gu Yuwu recalled that Huo Zheng’s representative had previously bid for a few precious stones at an auction, and she had a vague guess in her heart. However, she did not say anything about it and only said comfortingly to Lin Xiaowan, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. You should know very well what kind of person your President Huo is.”

“I know, but I’m curious. A few days ago, Assistant Song came to the house and showed him something. It was covered in a velvet cloth. I didn’t even get close to it, but Assistant Song quickly put it away. He’s never been like this before. Recently, he suddenly became mysterious and secretive…”

Gu Yuwu patted Lin Xiaowan’s back gently and said, “It’s nothing. I’ll help you observe him even though I rarely see him.”

Gu Yuwu laughed after she said that. Then, she recalled something and said, ‘Oh, that’s right. Didn’t you say two days ago that you wanted that idol’s autograph? There’s an event in two days. Her group will be participating as well. Do you want to attend the event?”

“In two days? 1 have to ask Huo Zheng first. He’s not very willing to let me go out by myself. However, it should be okay since I’m with you,” Lin Xiaowan said.

The idol that Gu Yuwu mentioned was very popular. She debuted as the center of the group and was very good at singing and dancing. Recently, she had even acted in a web drama. Although her acting was not outstanding, it was not terrible.

There were 11 people in the group, and the other ten were not very popular. She was the only one who was famous due to her beauty.

In fact, Lin Xiaowan was not one to chase celebrities. She wanted the autograph for someone else.

Huo Zheng had been bringing Lin Xiaowan to the company recently. As such, the employees in the president’s office and the employees who often came to the president’s office knew who she was. Since she began to draw portraits for the people in the president’s office, she would also draw them for other employees who requested them.

Lin Xiaowan wanted to give the autograph to a manager of a department in Huo Zheng’s company. He was a meticulous young man. She knew that he liked the idol very much. Seeing that his birthday was coming up, she wanted to give him the idol’s autograph as a birthday present.

Lin Xiaowan did not know much about these things so she asked, “What kind of event is it? Will it be fun?”

Gu Yuwu said with a smile, “To be honest, not really. It’s actually for a variety show. Not many people will be present. We’ll be filming a promotional video for the pilot episode. After that, we’ll go and eat hotpot.”

As soon as Lin Xiaowan heard the word ‘hotpot, she said happily, “Okay, okay. Hotpot sounds good! I want to go!”

Then, she continued to say, “Let me think about what 1 should tell Huo Zheng. 1 definitely can’t tell him that we’re going to eat hotpot. Otherwise, he won’t let me go. Two days ago, 1 told him 1 wanted to eat hotpot. He said the weather was very hot so he didn’t allow me to eat.”

Lin Xiaowan thought that she would have to expend a lot of effort to get Huo Zheng to agree, but unexpectedly, he nodded after thinking about it for a moment. He had agreed so quickly that Lin Xiaowan was in disbelief for a moment.

“Ah? Really? Then 1’11 tell Sister Yuwu now?”

“Okay,” Huo Zheng said before he added, “However, don’t stay out too late. When the time comes, tell the driver to wait for you there. Also, you must answer my calls, understand?”

Lin Xiaowan had a new driver. The driver was already working for the Huo family before this. Apart from driving, he was very skilled in combat as well. Huo Zheng was worried that something would happen to Lin Xiaowan again so he changed her driver. The driver used to be the captain of the Huo family’s security team, and he had won many awards for his martial arts.

Lin Xiaowan felt that it was a waste of his talent for him to be her driver.

After listening to Huo Zheng’s words, she did not find anything wrong with them so she nodded and said, “Okay.”

With this, she threw the matter to the back of her mind.

On the day of the event.

When Lin Xiaowan and Gu Yuwu arrived, the others were in the midst of filming. Apart from a few young people, there were also a few veteran celebrities present on the scene. They were a mix of hosts, singers, and actors. The atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Lin Xiaowan did not usually watch variety shows; she had only watched a few popular ones. Seeing all these people, she could not help but ask curiously, ‘What variety show is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”

“It’s a lifestyle variety show. It hasn’t aired yet so it’s only natural that you’ve not seen it before,” Gu Yuwu replied with a smile.

“Oh, no wonder.”

With the few famous celebrities present, the variety show should be very popular. If it had already aired, Lin Xiaowan felt that she would have at least heard about it.

The filming venue was very big.

The hotpot was set up on a long table. More than ten people sat together, but it was not crowded. As they ate, the cameras were filming from the side.

Gu Yuwu had told Lin Xiaowan not to worry about the cameras. Even if the two of them were caught on camera, they would be edited out later.

Gu Yuwu also introduced Lin Xiaowan to one of the hosts and a veteran celebrity whom she was familiar with. She said, “This is Xiaowan, my little sister.”

Lin Xiaowan was like a child following her parents to visit friends. She stayed next to Gu Yuwu’s side and smiled as she greeted everyone..
