Sun Baijiang’s press conference caught the Huo family off guard, surprising them unexpectedly.
The Huo family tried to unfairly criticize Huo Yu as a “white-eyed wolf” on the internet, hoping to pressure him into giving up the family’s old house and other interests.
However, their plan not only failed, but they also faced strong negative reactions from the public.
After carefully considering the circumstances, the Huo family posted an urgent statement on Huo Lin’s Weibo account.
In their statement, the Huo family clarified that they had never treated Huo Yu harshly and asserted that his car accident was purely accidental, with no evidence of tampering. They also warned against spreading baseless rumors, stating their intention to pursue legal action against those responsible.
[If you have the ability to hold Sun Baijiang accountable, let me ask you, do you dare?]
[Don’t say confusing things. When kids grow up in a big house, it’s not up to him to decide if they were treated badly or not, right?]
[So you’re saying Sun Baijiang was willing to harm his own family, including his dad and himself, just to frame the Huo family? That’s really bold and kind of unbelievable.]
That was also the reason everyone trusted Sun Baijiang more. After all, no one would make fun of the reputation of their family and their father.
Also, no one would make jokes about their own future.
Furthermore, Sun Baijiang maintained a low profile and worked hard since his debut, earning an excellent reputation. If it wasn’t true, it would be hard to explain the intense basis at the press conference.
After the press conference, not only did the Huo family face criticism, but netizens also blacklisted the Sun family.
But unlike the Huo family, the Sun family didn’t make any response.
Sun Baijiang’s father, Sun Li, was already quite old, and Sun Baijiang was the only son in the family. The silent struggle between father and son over the years had been a source of pain for both. Despite Sun Li’s resentment for Sun Baijiang’s lack of involvement in family matters, he also realized that their relationship could not continue to intensify.
Moreover, no matter how good the business was, if Sun Baijiang couldn’t return, what was the point of it all?
In comparison to the Huo family’s struggle, the Sun family’s silence seemed more like a quiet agreement.
Not long after the Huo family’s statement was issued, some netizens went to Sun Baijiang’s Weibo to seek verification, and Sun Baijiang responded quickly.
In his response, he highlighted several points.
One: He and Huo Yu jointly checked the condition of the car the night before the race and confirmed that the car was in good condition.
Secondly, Sun Baijiang clarified that after the accident, Huo Yu’s life was in critical condition, and was quickly taken to the hospital. However, due to traffic jams, the Huo family members were delayed in arriving, and no one was able to sign for Huo Yu before the operation. Fortunately, the hospital, which had received investment from the Shen family, contacted Shen Yan immediately. Shen Yan’s father personally gave the order, ensuring that Huo Yu could undergo surgery in a timely manner. Consequently, the family members’ signatures on Huo Yu’s surgery receipt were added by Huo Peixue at a later time.
This point, even after many years, can still be verified through surveillance footage. The over half an hour delay by the Huo family was crucial and could have endangered Huo Yu’s life.
Third, after Huo Yu’s accident, he remained in the intensive care unit for more than a week before gradually waking up. Later on, everyone started to realize that the accident was peculiar. However, the racing car had already been tampered with by the Huo family, making it impossible for the police to find any clues even if a similar incident occurred again.
Finally, Sun Baijiang added: “Dared I ask, when you said there was no evidence, wasn’t the lack of evidence itself proof?”
He pointed out that since the police weren’t called in time, there was indeed a lack of evidence in the situation.
Not long after Sun Baijiang’s response was posted, Shen Yan forwarded it and confirmed that his second statement was true.
This one statement was enough to cause a big reaction, and netizens continued to criticize the Huo family even more.
[I’ve watched many TV dramas about family conflicts, but it’s rare to see someone as ruthless as this.]

[The land bought by Huo Yu’s parents was meant for them when they built the house. Shockingly, just after his parents passed away, the Huo family seized the family property, took over the house’s land, and even harmed their own blood child. If that were the case, the outside world might not know about a child named Huo Yu. Perhaps he was left in the countryside, abandoned and left to fend for himself, right?]
[So, was Huo Yu just a pawn in this heated situation?]
[+10086], the Huo family seized someone else’s property and couldn’t let go of the “gift.” They feared the “gift” might be reclaimed back by a person who was the rightful heir to it after they grew up, so they orchestrated an accident. If the Shen family hadn’t acted justly, Huo Yu might have perished in the incident, and the Huo family would have achieved their wrongful goals, wouldn’t they?]
[Huo Peixue used to show off all the time. Those who didn’t know might have actually believed he cared so much for Huo Yu. Huo Yu seemed to be just a convenient tool for him.]
[[+1], Huo Yu has been treated coldly and harshly since he was a child, and as he grew up, the desire to harm him persisted. Just like this, the Huo family still uses the so-called “grace of upbringing” to oppress others and label them as white-eyed wolves. If it weren’t for Sun’s intervention, those trolls would probably still be here, continuing to criticize. So, I wonder if their faces are hurting from all that talk.]
[Huo Peixue truly is a person with a human face but an animal heart, bullying a defenseless five-year-old child who has no parents.]
[Thanks to Huo Yu’s remarkable achievements, when news about his new energy project emerged, it astonished everyone in the industry. Not many possess such magnanimity and courage, thinking so swiftly. If it were someone else, these accomplishments might have been overlooked. Once Huo Peixue’s family took control, reclaiming it wouldn’t have been as easy.]
[Huo Yu is mighty!]
[Huo Yu mighty +10086]
[Huo Yu is really handsome, picture.jpg. He must have been even more adorable as a child. I don’t understand how those people could do such a thing. Feeling angry on behalf of Yan Gou.jpg.]
[Love Huo Yu!]

While most netizens targeted the Huo family, some of their criticism was also aimed at the Sun family. Sun Li, who betrayed and used his own son, faced equally harsh condemnation from everyone.
Apart from a few netizens, Sun Baijiang didn’t face many attacks. Under the guidance of Director Gao, he even gained the favor of a wave of spectators.
After a brief period of observation, brands followed the trend and voiced their support for the spokespersons and partners. The anticipated termination of contracts did not happen, bringing a sigh of relief for Wen Hengzhi.
This matter stirred significant controversy, but Huo Yu chose not to respond directly and declined media interviews. However, during this time, he slowly reclaimed many fixed assets from the Huo family.
The remaining part was seized by some creditors to settle their debts.
His revenge was composed and rational, unlike the Huo family or Sun Baijiang, who attempted to manipulate public opinion. Throughout the ordeal, he adhered to his principles and maintained a clear and confident stance.
After Sun Baijiang’s press conference, Xue Chong, Wen Yunzhi, and Xia Chengzhang came over in person to meet.
Compared to Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi’s serious expressions, Xia Chengzhang had red eyes. However, Huo Yu remained remarkably composed.
Perhaps the pains had been tempered in Huo Yu’s heart too many times. In contrast, Xia Wan’s tears, Xue Chong’s firm grip on his shoulders, and Xia Chengzhang’s red eyes—all these expressions of care and love that were not too familiar touched his heart even more deeply.
Unlike the others, Yan Rui had been aware of these things for a long time, but he still had a lengthy phone call with Huo Yu that night.
During this time, Xue Chong, along with Wen Yunzhi, visited Xia Chengzhang again to discuss the possibility of revealing Xia Wan’s true identity to the outside world.
Xia Chengzhang didn’t resist this idea; in fact, he supported it wholeheartedly. After all, he least wanted Xia Wan to suffer any injustice in this matter.
Moreover, after experiencing the most intense emotional period, he has fully accepted the current situation.
The primary reason for Xia Chengzhang’s calm demeanor was the consistent nature of Xia Wan after returning to the Xue family. He not only retained his usual self but also became more considerate and attentive towards him.
Recently, Xia Wan has been exploring houses near Huo Yu’s residence with the intention of purchasing one for Xia Chengzhang. He hopes this new home will allow him to take care of himself (XC) more conveniently.
Huo Yu also extended an invitation, suggesting that Xia Chengzhang live with them.
Although he didn’t agree, the heartwarming gestures from the two children provided him with a profound sense of security and completely dissolved any lingering grievances and grudges in his heart.
On the contrary, interacting with Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi gave him a rare sense of peace.
…
The time has swiftly come to the end of November.
The night before the NF Charity Ceremony, Huo Yu accompanied Xia Wan to pick up the suits tailored for the event. Afterward, the two went to a renowned Western restaurant for dinner.
Xia Wan always had a good appetite. After the main meal, he indulged in the long-awaited internet-famous ice cream, while Huo Yu, on the other hand, seldom had a bit of red wine.
The two of them hadn’t enjoyed such freedom in a long time, and they were both in a very relaxed mood.
Compared to the times when he was desperately trying to make money, Xia Wan now appreciates these leisurely moments even more.
After savoring the last bite of ice cream, Xia Wan tilted his chin up and looked at Huo Yu.
Huo Yu had recently gotten a haircut, and now his face looked more defined with sharper features. Despite that, his smile was extra bright and kind, softer than what you’d usually see from him.
“Eldest Master,” Xia Wan teased, rolling his eyes, “You should drink more wine.”
Huo Yu had a driver, but he seldom used the service. It was likely due to a car accident in his teenage years – maybe it made him prefer holding the steering wheel himself. As a result, he rarely drank unless it was necessary.
Hearing this, Huo Yu chuckled, “Others have warned me about it – ‘Drinking is bad for health,’ but I’ve never heard you say that before.”
“But the eldest master looks even more handsome when he drinks,” Xia Wan remarked, his tone carrying a hint of emotion and a touch of regret.
“If I don’t drink, will I not look good?” Huo Yu asked, raising his eyebrows.
Xia Wan bit his lip, seemingly lost in thought, and then he looked at Huo Yu and laughed.
“Huh?” Huo Yu responded with a hint of reluctance, “Why don’t you say what you want to say?”
Xia Wan suppressed his smile and observed Huo Yu. He provocatively raised the corner of his lips before teasing, “The eldest master is quite vain, isn’t he just eager to hear compliments from me?”
“I just like to hear you say nice things,” Huo Yu snorted, “Why don’t you tell me quickly?”
Xia Wan laughed, feigning a headache once more, he leaned forward slightly, and in a lowered voice he said, “The eldest master is always handsome, especially when he’s in bed.”
Hearing this, Huo Yu squinted his eyes, and a subtle darkness flickered in his gaze.
It was like Xia Wan’s words had stirred something in him.
“So good at talking?” He looked at Xia Wan’s red lips with a certain emotion, and the air around them still held the sweet scent of ice cream.
“There are lots of good things to say,” Xia Wan declared, lifting his head proudly.
“Yeah,” Huo Yu pursed his lips, smiling, “If you keep saying good things, there might be more gifts.”
As if by magic, he retrieved a gold-rimmed box, delicately placing it on the table before gently pushing it towards Xia Wan.
“Wow,” Xia Wan was a bit surprised, “Is this for real?”
Seeing Xia Wan’s surprised expression, Huo Yu couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. “Open it and take a look” he suggested.
“Yeah,” Xia Wan responded, then carefully opened the box.
Inside the red velvet lay a golden ring. The ring was engraved with light and smooth lines, and it was adorned with a diamond on each side. It shone brightly under the light, making it very beautiful and delicate.
The only issue was that the size seemed a bit off. It appeared too small to be worn on the neck and too big to be worn on the wrist.
Xia Wan took the item in his hand and examined it for a while, then asked with some uncertainty, “Eldest Master, did you get the size wrong?”
Huo Yu looked at Xia Wan with a smile, mirroring his posture by leaning forward and lowering his voice. “Didn’t you mention you want to wear an anklet?” he whispered.
Huo Yu’s voice was low and mysterious, causing a tingling sensation in Xia Wan’s heart.
“A golden one?” Xia Wan inquired.
“Yes,” Huo Yu responded softly, his voice carrying a hint of meaning, “Your skin is fair, which will make it look even more good when paired with golden one.”
After a moment, he tilted his head again and whispered, “If you shake it a bit, it will definitely look good.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan’s hand involuntarily tightened around the anklet. The whispered suggestion seemed to ignite a sense of anticipation and excitement in him.
Huo Yu gazed at Xia Wan for a moment, then he stood up and moved around. Just as he was about to kneel down in front of him, Xia Wan hurriedly grabbed his sleeves, pulling them back to stop him.
“What’s the matter?” Huo Yu asked with a half-smile, glancing at other guests in the restaurant from the corner of his eye. “Feeling shy?”
Xia Wan was indeed a bit shy in public. After a moment of thought, he pursed his lips and whispered, “Use another way.”
Huo Yu lowered his eyes to look at Xia Wan, then he obediently returned to his position as per Xia Wan’s command. He tilted his head and continued to look at Xia Wan with a smile.
But after a moment, Huo Yu’s smile froze.
Because under the long tablecloth, Xia Wan’s foot suddenly touched Huo Yu’s thigh. The foot rubbed lightly on the inside part of his thigh, playfully teasing before continuing its mischievous journey forward.
Huo Yu pursed his lips and reached out to hold Xia Wan’s slender ankle.
He silently took the anklet and opened the buckle. After a moment, a click sound echoed under the table.
“Tied it up,” Huo Yu said, his voice low but incredibly alluring and sexy.
