Chapter 689: 691 Spoiled and Arrogant (5)_1
"..."
Huo Jinxue made no sound. Yes, she was aware, but the origin of those photos didn’t matter to her; she just felt uncomfortable around Che Huan.
"Your grandfather gave them!"
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinxue and articulated each word deliberately.
Huo Jinxue regarded Che Huan, always thinking her to be amiable, but she hadn’t expected Che Huan to have such a formidable side and inexplicably felt less confident.
Che Huan turned to Rong Ma, "I’m too far away to smell it, Rong Ma. What scent is on her?"
Rong Ma looked at Che Huan, "Madam, it’s the smell of musk."
Che Huan’s gaze rested on Huo Jinxue, "This time I’ll assume you didn’t know, and didn’t mean to harm the child in my belly."
"..."
Huo Jinxue stood there, her face alternating between red and white! She truly hadn’t realized it was musk—had she known, she wouldn’t have been unaware of the risk of miscarriage from the scent, especially since "Legend of Zhen Huan" was all over the screens back then; how could she have not seen it!
Che Huan’s eyes fell on Rong Ma, "Take her to bathe and wash off the scent. Then change into a clean set of clothes."
Huo Jinxue, without a word, silently followed Rong Ma upstairs.
Half an hour later, she came downstairs dressed in one of Che Huan’s outfits.
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinxue, "Sit."
Huo Jinxue looked at Che Huan, "I can drive."
"I wouldn’t dare get in."
Che Huan glanced at Huo Jinxue, then slowly said, "I’ve already made a call. It was just a scare, and the doctor asked mom to keep in good spirits. She will be back soon."
Thinking of her second brother’s imminent return, Huo Jinxue felt a bit scared.
Che Huan turned to Rong Ma, "Rong Ma, go ahead with your tasks."
Rong Ma complied, then turned to Huo Jinxue, fearing the young lady might rashly do something foolish. She couldn’t help but offer a reminder, which also served as a warning.
"Miss, Madam has anemia, which worsens during pregnancy and may cause fainting at any time. Be careful."
Huo Jinxue looked at Rong Ma, "I understand."
Rong Ma left for the kitchen, leaving Huo Jinxue and Che Huan alone in the living room.
Huo Jinxue looked at Che Huan, recalling something she had said earlier, "Are you suggesting that my grandfather also orchestrated the perfume incident?"
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinxue but remained silent.
Huo Jinxue saw Che Huan’s resolute expression and felt uneasy inside, "Even if my grandfather doesn’t like you, he wouldn’t harm the child in your belly, right? That’s my second brother’s child, too!"
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinxue, "Do you know why your grandfather can’t stand me?"
Huo Jinxue was struck by Che Huan’s expression and involuntarily looked at her.
Che Huan spoke softly, "My grandmother was killed in a car accident caused by Huo Jinyun, and my grandfather was arrested by the police the next day, dying in jail. What do you think could be the reason?"
Huo Jinxue’s eyes widened as she looked at Che Huan, completely shocked by this revelation! Did she mean to suggest that her grandfather had her other grandfather killed?
Moving her lips, she tried to say something to defend, but when she thought of her eldest brother’s situation, she suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
If grandfather could sacrifice her eldest brother to protect Gu Jizhou, then to protect Huo Jinyun, sacrificing someone unrelated to the Huo Family wouldn’t count for much!
"Is... is what you’re saying true?"
Che Huan replied in a low voice, "While my mother was pregnant with me, your esteemed sister stole my father from her."
"..."
Huo Jinxue stared at Che Huan, wanting to say something but found herself unable to speak.
Che Huan gave a cold laugh, "There’s still a lot that I don’t know."
Huo Jinxue watched Che Huan, "Then... then why are you with my second brother?"
When thinking of Huo Jinnan, Che Huan’s voice softened involuntarily, "Because he is the father of my child, he treats me well, and I love him."
