Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 841 - 842: The Beginning of Happiness 12

"Chairman Liu? What’s his connection?" Huo Shaohua frowned.

"His son was the head of the department where Ke’er’s father worked back then. It’s been so long that I’m not clear about the details, but Ke’er’s father was indeed wronged. He died in a car accident on the way back to the company to explain. Ke’er was just a few months old at the time."

"Since you knew about this, why didn’t you tell me?!" Huo Shaohua glared fiercely at Andy.

"I only found out about it recently." Andy bowed his head.

"Get that old man over here, and his idiot son too!" Huo Shaohua angrily threw the documents onto the table.

All this time, he had tolerated these veterans out of respect for his deceased parents.

But they’ve become increasingly out of line, and now it’s even led to someone’s death!

While Huo Shaohua was handling company matters, Tian Xingyun was sound asleep but woke up needing to use the bathroom.

She got up to go to the restroom, then lay back in bed but couldn’t fall asleep again.

She reached for her phone; ever since becoming pregnant, he wouldn’t allow her to use it much.

Each day she only had a few minutes to check her phone and opened her social media circle to look.

She saw some friends sharing things about the Huo Group, and she was utterly shocked after clicking in to read!

Such a big incident had happened, yet he stayed at home with her every day and didn’t go to work. What was he thinking?

And this matter was related to Li Zhiting; what exactly was going on?

Why did it lead to someone’s death, and why was it related to Li Zhiting?

She could no longer stay at home, and even Aunt Liu couldn’t stop her from leaving, so two maids accompanied her.

She called Li Zhiting to arrange a meeting, not understanding why he did such things.

Li Zhiting wasn’t surprised by her call and put down his work to meet her at a cafe.

As soon as he sat down, Tian Xingyun impatiently asked, "Why did you do this?"

"Do you also think I deliberately framed the Huo Family?" Li Zhiting answered her question with a question of his own.

Seeing her with Huo Shaohua’s child, coming to interrogate him on behalf of Huo Shaohua and not trusting him, he felt genuinely saddened!

"I didn’t mean it that way, I just..." Tian Xingyun didn’t know how to explain.

"One of the Huo Group employees involved in the car accident years ago was Ke’er’s father. Because the Huo Family maliciously framed him, Ke’er’s father died in an accident while rushing back to the company. After his death, the Huo Family even claimed he committed suicide out of guilt!" Li Zhiting said calmly, something he had kept bottled up for years.

This time, the Huo Family committed the same mistake again, clearly indicating deep internal issues within the group!

Given such a golden opportunity, of course, he wanted to seek justice for his friend and make the Huo Group apologize to him!

"What? How can this be!" Tian Xingyun’s eyes widened in shock; how could it be Ke’er’s father?

How could it be such a coincidence?!

"I wasn’t intentionally framing the Huo Family, just seeking justice for a friend. I didn’t want my friend’s couple to die with such injustice!"

"But if you make this public, what if Ke’er finds out..." Tian Xingyun tearfully lamented, trusting Li Zhiting’s words.

She had heard him talk about Ke’er’s parents before, only she didn’t know back then that Ke’er’s father was an employee of the Huo Group.

"She won’t find out. During that incident, it wasn’t just Ke’er’s father who died, but another person from the same department." Li Zhiting responded, having kept the matter under wraps all these years to consider Ke’er’s feelings.

Afraid Ke’er would be devastated if she knew, and might even resent Xingyun...

He didn’t want Ke’er growing up surrounded by hatred, especially since she liked Xingyun so much.

If she ever discovered the truth, she’d inevitably feel heartbroken.

She really liked Xingyun, yet Xingyun ended up marrying the man responsible for her parents’ deaths.

She definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it!
