After Marrying The Villain, I Became PopularCh9 - Be unscrupulous

The hospital ward had been specially renovated, so the lights were slightly dimmer than in other wards. Huo Yu placed the flowers on the coffee table before raising his hand and pushing the door open.

The nurse who was feeding Huo Chuan dinner looked up when she heard the movement. “You are…”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

For some reason, she felt that the other person looked familiar, as if she had seen him before. After a while, she realized that he was from the Huo family, the one who had only shown his face once before.

The eldest grandson of the Huo family. 6AzYm5

Back then, Huo Yu was much more immature than he was now.

Now he was just wearing simple jeans and a white shirt, which made him look so elegant that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.

It was the polar opposite of how he was when he was younger.

That’s why she couldn’t connect with the young man in front of her, who exuded a sense of calmness in every gesture.

“Eldest Master.” The nurse quickly stood up, then lowered her head and addressed Huo Chuan, “Master, the Eldest Master is here to see you.”

Hearing this, Huo Chuan turned his head slowly, with some liquid still lingering at the corner of his mouth from the overflow. He was no longer as sharp and capable as before.

“You can leave, I’ll feed him,” Huo Yu said. “I’ll call you if I need anything.”

“Yes,” the nurse said softly. She placed the rest of the meal on the bedside cabinet and silently backed away. N6hiqo

“Yu… er…” Huo Chuan’s hand, shaking like a withered branch, weakly rose from the quilt. He turned his head slightly, his mouth twitching, and he struggled to speak each word, “You…”

Huo Yu approached the bed, gently taking Huo Chuan’s trembling hand and tucking it back under the thin quilt. He spoke softly, “I’m back.”

Huo Chuan swallowed and stared at Huo Yu’s face with wide eyes. He hadn’t seen him for a long time. His expression wasn’t joyful, but rather sad and cautious.

“Why?” Huo Yu looked at him seriously, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly. “Grandpa, aren’t you happy to see me?” Gbf9AO

He held the remaining half bowl of soup in his hand, lowered his head, and stirred it with a spoon.

“Can you go back…” Huo Chuan started to say, managing only four words, the same sentence he uttered four years ago, before he leaned against the pillow, gasping for breath.

Huo Yu filled a spoonful of soup and brought it to Huo Chuan’s lips. Huo Chuan tightened his lips, indicating that he wouldn’t open his mouth unless he agreed to Huo Yu’s unfinished request.

Huo Yu looked at Huo Chuan for a moment and said in a low, indifferent voice, “No.” SOLQbv

Huo Chuan turned his head sharply, ignoring the spilled soup on his quilt and shoulders. He glared angrily at Huo Yu, who remained motionless.

“No,” Huo Yu repeated firmly. He lowered his eyes and watched as the soup slowly stained the snow-white cloth, with a few egg drifting on it. He repeated his refusal, his tone now tinged with malice and ”schadenfreude”.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“You unworthy descendant,” Huo Chuan’s tone grew more coherent as anger surged through him. “I really regret…”

A violent cough interrupted his words. Huo Yu remained still, leisurely observing Huo Chuan’s face. Seeing the red eyes and flushed face, Huo Yu couldn’t help but smirk slightly as he said slowly, “Do you regret raising me, or do you regret not killing me back then?” Yud zn

Huo Chuan was struggling to catch his breath, he was about to pass out. Yet Huo Yu showed no sympathy or pity.

Huo Yu remained calm, casually tapping the thin white spoon against his jade-like hand. The crisp sound echoed in the lifeless ward, injecting a strange sense of freshness and vitality.

“What exactly are you afraid of?” Huo Yu smiled as he asked Huo Chuan, but his deep eyes were like bottomless black holes, instilling fear in Huo Chuan despite the beauty of Huo Yu’s eyes. “You can tell me slowly what you’re afraid of, and if I’m in a good mood, I’ll try to make all of them come true.”

“You!” Huo Chuan tried to speak, but he was interrupted by a sudden darkness, and he passed away. Fz 6UG

Huo Yu gazed at Huo Chuan’s weakened body for a moment, a mix of emotions flickering across his face.

In fact, this was the life he had dreamed of for a long time. After lunch, everyone retreated to their beds.

Xia Wan had a restless night’s sleep, and as he lay in a daze, he heard Fu Ling’s soft voice calling out to him. Fu Ling was holding his head above his, gently called his name, “Wanwan.” P06aS2

“Huh?” Xia Wan turned over and saw Fu Ling lying on the bed, his head slightly lifted.

“What was wrong?” Xia Wan shifted to a lying position and looked into Fu Ling’s eyes and asked softly.

“I wanted to borrow some money,” Fu Ling said in a low voice.

Such a simple request. Xia Wan had nothing but plenty of money. He was about to ask the amount directly when he remembered that he was not the same as in the past. xXU8HK

“How much do you need?” he asked, his voice casual and light.

“Two thousand,” Fu Ling requested. “Is that alright?”

Xia Wan pursed his lips. He had just liquidated his assets at noon, and it amounted to only about two thousand, which was likely his monthly pocket money.

“What about a discounted price?” he asked. 12jXBu

“What’s the discount?” Fu Ling inquired, leaning in.

Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then silently held up one finger.

Fu Ling glared at him, then reached out and poked Xia Wan’s forehead with his finger.

“After Tangtang and his aunt finish their phone call, I’ll ask Tangtang for money,” Fu Ling said softly. “His aunt loves him very much and gives him extra pocket money every month.” 8fns1h

Su Tang finally hung up the phone after a long conversation. When he noticed two people looking at him, he asked, “Did I interrupt something?”

“No,” Fu Ling said, “I wanted to ask you to borrow some money. My grandfather’s 60th birthday is there next week. I want to buy him a massage chair for elderly people, but it’s quite expensive and I don’t have enough money. Can you lend me some?”

Su Tang nodded confidently and asked, “How much?” Seeing this, Xia Wan felt envious.

“Two thousand,” Fu Ling said, holding up two fingers. 5zNDbf

“No problem,” Su Tang replied, picking up his phone. Within two seconds, Fu Ling’s phone vibrated.

“Tangtang,” Fu Ling glanced at him and asked, “Did you put in the wrong amount? Why did you give me three thousand?”

“Get something nicer from your dad,” Su Tang said arrogantly.

Fu Ling was so moved that he wished he could fly over to hug Su Tang: “Dad.” lB3GML

Su Tang laughed, but for some reason, he glanced to the side, looking slightly defensive.

Xia Wan and Fu Ling slept head to head, while Su Tang and Shen Xing slept foot to foot. Seeing that Shen Xing was breathing evenly with headphones on, Su Tang whispered, “It’s not a coincidence. My aunt just sent me some pocket money.”

Su Tang’s aunt was known for her deep love and care for him, often even more than his parents. Besides the regular pocket money, she has consistently provided for his food, clothing, and other expenses since childhood. Her support has been unwavering and uninterrupted.

“Your aunt is incredibly kind,” Fu Ling remarked with envy. “It must be because you’re so adorable that even I can’t help but love you.” gHnRd2

“”I may be cute,” Su Tang said, glancing in Shen Xing’s direction, “but it’s not just because of that that my aunt loves me.”

Fu Ling and Xia Wan looked at Su Tang with their heads on their heads.

Su Tang seemed a bit unsure, but eventually, he said, “Actually, my aunt had another baby, my cousin, he was only one month younger than me.”

“Why haven’t you mentioned this before?” Fu Ling asked curiously. i6YoRF

Indeed, Su Tang often talked about his aunt in the dormitory, but he never mentioned his little cousin before.

Speaking of this, Su Tang’s expression darkened a bit, and after a while, he said: “When I was two years old, my cousin got lost.”

The dormitory fell into silence for a brief moment. Fu Ling observed the somber expression on Su Tang’s face and immediately felt remorseful. He nervously twisted the corner of his quilt and spoke softly, “I apologize for asking more.”

“It’s nothing.” Su Tang waved his hand, “It’s been eighteen years.” vTXwcV

“After all these years, you haven’t found him?” Xia Wan, who had recently left his family, found hearing this especially painful.

“My aunt and uncle searched tirelessly,” Su Tang sighed heavily. “I don’t know why, but my cousin vanished into thin air. Back then, the surveillance system wasn’t as advanced as it is now. Despite all these years, they still haven’t been able to locate him.”

“Then your aunt poured all her love for your little cousin onto you,” Fu Ling remarked.

Su Tang nodded. Lq4jud

At that moment, Shen Xing’s phone buzzed, and Su Tang remained silent, choosing not to say anything further.

…..

In the afternoon after class, Xia Wan joined the three of them for the first time at the restaurant.

Afterwards, Fu Ling went to tutor, Shen Xing headed to boxing practice, and Su Tang was picked up by his aunt. lG kab

For a while, Xia Wan was the only one left in the dormitory.

During the brief moment of tranquility, Xia Wan sat at the desk and focused on organizing his belongings. He sorted through his past assignments, painting supplies, chat histories, call logs, phone contacts, and social media connections, including an account the original owner had registered on a video platform solely for documenting his painting journey.

Xia Wan pondered for a moment, staring at the computer screen, and realized that this thing could be put to good use.

Though he didn’t mean to boast, painting was something he excelled at without difficulty. G5OsRB

Before his transmigration, his grandfather and elder brother ran a world-renowned jewelry company, and his mother was a renowned painter. Even a few casual strokes of his paintings would fetch a hefty sum, not to mention his father’s expertise in archaeology as a famous professor.

Due to his upbringing, he had quite an eye for beautiful things and, on top of that, he was quite good at painting thanks to his mother’s guidance.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

During the countless days when he can’t go out due to his sickness, he spends his day with the drawing board in his hand.

So, painting has become an intrinsic part of his life. It was as natural to him as breathing. j4VkmP

In addition, he also wanted to register an account dedicated to eating and broadcasting. This idea came to his mind when he saw the original owner’s video account.

Eating was so enjoyable, and after eating, maybe he could have brought goods like the anchors he had seen before. It would not only have filled his stomach but also have a chance to make money, so why not do it?

But if he wanted to register, he inevitably hesitated.

After all, Huo Lin’s incident yesterday had caused quite a disturbance. MHfE4j

Although he wasn’t afraid of trouble, if those who were present yesterday recognized him or if someone with malicious intent took advantage of the situation, it would inevitably lead to another disturbance.

Resting his head in his hands, he felt a moment of hesitation.

If he were to cooperate with Huo Yu in the future, it would be better to discuss this matter with him.

There wasn’t any particularly important information in the chat history or social platform. He still had a few painting tools and some supplies in stock… ftuKBs

After Xia Wan sorted out everything, he picked up the original owner’s drawing board.

While everything else was average, but the original owner’s tools were remarkably professional. Despite only being familiar with them for a short while, he was already very comfortable using them.

The shape of a crane gradually emerged on the screen. It soared in the air, its wings spread obliquely like two sharp fans, while its long and thin legs and head formed strong, bold lines. It resembled a sword slicing through the sky.

“Wan Wan,” Xia Wan was so absorbed in painting that he didn’t notice when Su Tang returned. 8l wYB

Su Tang stood behind him, amazed. “It’s only been a day or two. How did your painting skills improve so much?”

Xia Wan paused, making a stroke with his hand before turning to look at Su Tang. “Perhaps there are gains and losses,” he replied.

“That’s not fair,” Su Tang muttered as he sat down next to Xia Wan. “You lose the bad stuff and keep the good, isn’t Huo Yu sufficient?”

“Are you jealous?” Xia Wan chuckled. 4rb10H

“I am jealous,” Su Tang admitted without hesitation. “Tell me quickly, how did you improve so much? Explain it clearly.”

In an effort not to deviate too much from the original owner’s skill level, he deliberately held back a bit as he pointed out, “Take a close look, there are still many areas that can be improved.”

Su Tang gazed at the screen for a moment, feeling perplexed.

“It does seem that way,” he whispered. XPB2ST

But at first glance, that painting did indeed appear almost perfect, especially since the proportions were nearly impeccable.

He was momentarily confused, then it dawned on him. “I got it. Huo Yu must have given you some advice overnight, right?”

Just as Su Tang finished speaking, Huo Yu’s call came in.

“Tsk,” he smirked meaningfully and stepped into the bathroom. Veisuq

“Hello,” Xia Wan answered the phone, feeling a bit puzzled. Hadn’t they just met today?

“Would it be convenient for you to spare some time tomorrow night?” Huo Yu asked.

The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Typically, after class on Friday afternoon, Xia Wan would go home to spend time with Xia Chengzhang.

“Is everything okay?” Xia Wan inquired. “I need to go home to be with my dad tomorrow.” zbw1PW

“I’ll see you off tomorrow,” Huo Yu’s voice came over in a deep tone, “but before that, I’ll take you to meet my family.”

Xia Wan stuttered, “Wait…. What are you saying… isn’t this too quick?”

Huo Yu spoke calmly, “It’s not going fast, I officially acknowledged the relationship last night and I want to introduce you to my family tomorrow.”

After that chuckle was heard on the other end, “The rhythm is just right,” tkgVYs

“Who did you confirm the relationship with?” Xia Wan glanced discreetly towards the bathroom.

“I’ll show you the agreement tomorrow, alright?” Huo Yu inquired. As he spoke, a gentle “click” noise echoed, resembling the sound of a lighter.

“Do you have any requirements for meeting your family?” Xia Wan asked.

“No specific requirements,” Huo Yu stated, “Just do what you did with Zhou Shui today and be unscrupulous. It’s good.” toFqCO

“Got it,” Xia Wan acknowledged. Despite being uncertain about how Huo Yu found out about Zhou Shui, he held a clear conscience and decided not to dwell on it.

Xia Wan patted his chest confidently, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
