Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Feeling a heavy shadow cast over her, the old lady switched to a more comfortable position and glanced around. With so many people present, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her, would he?

”It’s him, it’s this shameless man who seduced my granddaughter...”

”Is she related to you by blood?”

Huo Jinnan interrupted Madam Che, looking down at her from above.

Madam Che choked, ”My granddaughter, how could she not be related to me by blood?”

Huo Jinnan glanced at Che Zhiqiang, ”Are you certain that Che Huan is related to you by blood?”

Right after he finished speaking, Qin Shaojin, standing to the side, had already opened the recorder pen hidden in his sleeve.

Che Zhiqiang remained silent.

Huo Jinnan retracted his gaze and turned to Madam Che, ”Che Huan has never been married, so what affair are you talking about?”

Madam Che’s eyes widened, ”Impossible, how can she not be married? The whole Li City knows that my granddaughter’s husband is Gu Jizhou, the president of Gucheng Group!”

”Oh, really?”

Huo Jinnan asked back, then turned to Qin Shaojin, ”Lawyer Qin, what are the legal penalties for defamation?”

Qin Shaojin, standing there adjusting his cuffs, replied, ”It carries a sentence of up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.”

Huo Jinnan turned and glanced at Che Huan, grasped her wrist, and pulled her to his side, ”Were you married to Gu Jizhou?”

Che Huan was stunned momentarily, then recalling what he previously said, she shook her head and smiled radiantly, looking towards Madam Che’s direction, ”No.”

Madam Che was dumbfounded, ”Che Huan, you...”

”Shut up.”

Huo Jinnan glanced in Madam Che’s direction, his voice powerful without anger.

Madam Che had many justifications prepared, but from that sudden command, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Qin Shaojin looked at Madam Che, leaned forward to shake her hand, ”See you in court tomorrow.”

Madam Che jerking away in disgust, snorted coldly, ”Just because you say she wasn’t married, doesn’t mean it’s true. You can check it, there’s a record at the Civil Affairs Bureau!”

Qin Shaojin smiled with narrowed eyes, stood upright, and smoothed his suit sleeve, ”I hope you can speak with the same confidence tomorrow.”

He scanned the surrounding, ”Everyone, disperse. Those who want to watch the drama can go to Li City Court tomorrow to spectate.”

Wen Hua stood not far away, witnessing this scene. He had heard everything Huo Jinnan and Qin Shaojin said clearly — could it be that Huanhuan and Gu Jizhou were divorced and all the records cleanly erased?

He looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction.

Was it Huo Jinnan?

As people dispersed, Huo Jinnan walked over to Wen Hua with crisply pressed trousers, ”Good day, Mr. Wen.”

Wen Hua shook hands with Huo Jinnan but remained silent.

Wen Nuan walked over with Che Huan, calling out ”Dad,” and with eyes curved like crescent moons, she looked towards Huo Jinnan, ”Brother-in-law, you’re really handsome.”

As her voice fell, Wen Hua and Che Huan looked towards Wen Nuan at the same time.

Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue and leaned on Che Huan, whispering in her ear, ”Anyway, sooner or later... Thinking that I’ll be a generation above Gu Jizhou in the future feels so good.”

Che Huan gave Wen Nuan a look and turned to Wen Hua, ”Uncle.”

Wen Hua spoke softly, ”Go check on your mother. She must have heard everything. I never mentioned Mr. Huo’s identity.”

”I understand.” Che Huan looked back at Huo Jinnan, then towards Wen Hua. Uncle must want to speak with him, right?
