Aunt Wu was stunned, "Mr. Huo, this..."

Just as her heart warmed up, it instantly turned ice cold!

Gu Yunqing looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction and couldn’t believe how cold-blooded he was—was he expecting to watch her commit suicide with scissors in her hands?

Her lips parched, she turned toward the aunt, and with effort, she said, "Go ahead, fetch the scissors for Mr. Huo!"

Aunt Wu glanced at Gu Yunqing, then Huo Jinnan, and quickly left the bedroom.

Downstairs, she turned to the master and the madam, and quietly said, "Master, Madam, Master Huo asked me to bring a pair of scissors upstairs to the young mistress."

Gu Yunping didn’t say a word upon hearing this; suddenly, he stood up and slammed the cup he was holding onto the floor.

Huo Jinyun knew the cup was thrown in his direction and stood up, irritated, "Anan doesn’t mean that, you—why is your thinking so dark!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her sharp gaze fell on Aunt Wu.

Originally, Aunt Wu had felt indignant on behalf of the young mistress, but seeing the madam’s facial expression, she quickly lowered her head, "Master, I think Mr. Huo didn’t mean that."

Gu Yunping turned to Aunt Wu, his tone harsh, "Bring the scissors here, I’ll take them to Mr. Huo myself!"

Aunt Wu glanced at Huo Jinyun.

Huo Jinyun glared back at Aunt Wu.

She was already irritated because of the Jizhou incident, and now there was Gu Yunqing threatening suicide, presumably out of fear of how the Qin Family would treat her, trying to use Anan!

Of course, if Anan actually showed compassion due to this and softened toward Yunqing, she wouldn’t mind seeing such a outcome; but as it seemed now, that was hardly the case.

However, she couldn’t figure out what Anan wanted the scissors for!

After pausing, Huo Jinyun turned to Aunt Wu, "You go and get it."

Aunt Wu went to fetch the scissors.

Huo Jinyun glared at Gu Yunping, "Do you even know what your sister did today?"

Gu Yunping turned to Huo Jinyun, "What could she have done?"

Huo Jinyun scoffed, "She’s becoming quite capable, accusing Che Huan of stealing money to the parents of the students. Then Qin Shaojin shows up, catches them red-handed with the goods, and even the police calls went to her."

Gu Yunping disbelieved, "Why would she falsely accuse Che Huan?"

"How would I know? Go ask her yourself." Huo Jinyun turned and went upstairs, leaving Gu Yunping alone in the living room.

When Aunt Wu returned with the scissors, she saw only Gu Yunping and handed them over to him, "Master."

With a heavy expression, Gu Yunping took the scissors upstairs. Upon reaching Gu Yunqing’s room, he handed them to Huo Jinnan, his voice laden with deep emotion, "Mr. Huo, here are the scissors you requested."

Aunt Wu followed behind, and upon reaching the door, she heard the master’s voice, standing there, awkwardly looking in Huo Jinnan’s direction—this was the first time the master had lost his temper in front of the Huo Family.

In truth, she also felt pity for the young mistress. The young mistress had everything she could want, and furthermore, she had already given birth to a child. She didn’t understand why Mr. Huo refused to marry the young mistress!

The young mistress was so kind; which aspect was she lacking for Mr. Huo?

Back then, after their encounter, to put it crudely, he refused to take responsibility after pulling up his trousers!

Now that the young mistress was willing to commit suicide for Mr. Huo, he bizarrely asked her to bring him a pair of scissors. If she were the master, she would be angry too! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

With these thoughts, she inadvertently glanced in Huo Jinnan’s direction.

Huo Jinnan turned around, his gaze icy as he swept over Gu Yunping, unconcerned by the displeasure in his voice. He took the scissors, leaned forward, and cut a piece of the bloodstained sheet from the bed.
