She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 118 - 0: One in Heaven, One on Earth

Chapter 118: Chapter 0118: One in Heaven, One on Earth

Mu Lan opened the door and got out of the car, intending to lend Yun Xi a hand.

However, she had not expected that there would be no jack in the car, and no matter how strong Yun Xi was, she was not a female Superman capable of changing a tire barehanded under these circumstances.

“Why don’t we call a tow truck?”

The midday sun was scorching, making Mu Lan anxious. She took out her phone, ready to search, when a Mercedes SUV screeched to a halt, coming from the direction out of town.

“Do you need help?”

Looking up, the car window rolled down, and a young man was sitting in the driver’s seat, asking with a sunny expression on his face.

“Ayang, you can’t get all warm-hearted just because you see a beautiful woman.”

Following that, two more of the same model SUVs pulled up behind, obviously a group of rich second generation kids on their way to a suburban gathering.

Having been warned by a previous experience, Mu Lan was very cautious of strangers now and rejected the offer without a second thought.

“No need, we will call a tow truck ourselves, thank you.”

Having said that, she continued to search on her phone with her head down.

“You never know how long it will take to call a tow truck here, I have the tools in my car, and I can change the tire very quickly.

We’re really not bad people, nor are we trying to pull a fast one. You don’t need to be so on guard.”

With that, the young man got out of the driver’s seat, opened the trunk, and took out a jack.

“Ayang is really enthusiastic, indeed the charm of a beautiful woman is great.”

“If you don’t shut up, no one will treat you as mute.”

The boy’s ears reddened slightly, confirming what his friend said was true. Mu Lan’s striking appearance made it easy for a love at first sight to occur.

Mu Lan didn’t want to attract unwanted attention and firmly refused again.

“I’m not just being polite here, I truly do not need help, sir!”

As the boy approached, Mu Lan subconsciously stepped back half a step behind Yun Xi. After all, as a ‘small fry’, self-preservation was key to not causing trouble for Yun Xi.

Not expecting Mu Lan to refuse twice in a row, the boy’s expression became somewhat embarrassed.

“Hey, we’re offering help out of good will, and you’re still not giving us face.

Ayang, you’re too good-tempered. I can’t stand it.”

Mu Lan glanced at the boy clad in trendy brands but didn’t feel like arguing, continuing to search with her phone.

“Hey, acting all high and mighty just because you look good? Truly playing hard to get, huh? You should take the face given to you!

Approaching you is to show you respect, and you’re no more than a commodity for thirty thousand a night. What are you playing at?

I’ll give you a hundred thousand. Hang out with my friends tonight, and if you please us, I’ll pay you more.”

Mu Lan raised her head and looked coldly at the boy, speaking icily.

“Watch your mouth!”

“Fuck! Pretending to be pure now? I’ve seen plenty like you. If you want to raise your price, just say it.

Name your price; I can afford it.”

“Sorry, sorry, my friend speaks without thinking. Don’t stoop to his level,” the boy apologized.

“Ayang, can you handle this or not? I’m sticking up for you here. Can’t you see this girl doesn’t know what’s good for her?

After she’s had her share of fun, that’s that. Don’t tell me you’ve really fallen for her, have you?”

Yun Xi couldn’t stand to listen any longer and was about to take action but was held back by Mu Lan.

After all, there were several young guys and if they had tools in the car, Yun Xi, a girl, was still at a disadvantage.

“What, you want to fight? I…” the boy started, but he was interrupted with a startled “Ow!”

Without anyone noticing, Huo Tingxiao appeared behind Mu Lan, wrapping an arm around her and simultaneously kicking the other person in the stomach, sending them flying a yard away.

“Huo Tingxiao? How did you get here?”

“I got a call when I was on the mountain, saying you all had come down, so I came over to check.”

Huo Tingxiao scanned the crowd and his gaze finally fell on Ayang, recognizing him at a glance as his father’s illegitimate son, known as Huo Tingyang, but Huo Tingxiao’s demeanor was very cold, showing no signs he recognized the other’s identity.

Huo Tingyang had not expected to meet Huo Tingxiao in such a situation and for a moment didn’t know how to react.

Looking at the interaction between these two… She’s Mu Lan?

“Damn it, How dare you lay a hand on me, where did this blind fool come from, I’m going to—”

“Tiger! That’s enough!”

Huo Tingyang tried to remain calm; nobody here dared to provoke the man before them, or they would not be able to walk away unscathed.

Moreover, it was initially their fault, and making a scene would only make things worse.

“Enough? Who said it’s enough?”

Huo Tingxiao’s disdainful eyes carried an overwhelming sense of oppression that hit them head-on! Huo Tingyang looked at his half-brother in front of him, striving to appear less timid.

“So… what would you like to do, sir?”

“Apologize to my wife, that’s the least you can do.”

Huo Tingxiao’s tone was indifferent, but the regal aura he naturally emitted was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at the troublemaker, all hoping he would just apologize, and this might be the end of it.

Tiger got up from the ground, clutching his stomach in pain and yet stubbornly refusing to yield. He stumbled forward, neck stiff as he said:

“Apologize? We were just trying to help out of kindness, and she dismisses us, not even settling the score with you—ah!”

Mid-sentence, Huo Tingxiao simply grabbed the other’s fingers and twisted them forcefully towards the back of the hand, abruptly bending them at an unbelievable angle.

Tiger’s agonized screams made the few young lads instantly fall silent, resentment in their hearts, but none daring to rashly step forward.

For Mu Lan, it was also the first time she had seen such a fierce side of Huo Tingxiao, and she was a bit scared.

Cold sweat broke out on Huo Tingyang’s forehead as well. He dared not disclose his identity, as doing so would only embarrass himself, so he could only play the role of the peacekeeper.

“Sir, my friend was indeed in the wrong. He was offensive, and I apologize on his behalf. I hope you can forgive him this once.”

“If there is any more filth from his mouth in the future, his fate will be more than what he just experienced.”

Huo Tingxiao left that comment indifferently and didn’t look at Huo Tingyang again as he turned and left with Mu Lan.

From start to finish, that utterly scornful look made Huo Tingyang feel as if he were an insect living in the gutter, unworthy to see the light.

Both grandsons of the Huo Family, yet Huo Tingxiao could have such a fine heritage and a beautiful wife.

But what about himself? Unacknowledged by the Huo Family, forced to live by the graces of others, merely surviving.

The destiny of the two, one in the heavens, the other in the gutter… Suddenly, Huo Tingyang felt a sense of injustice!

“Remember their license plate number, once I get back, I won’t let them off the hook.”

“You think you won’t let whom off the hook? Do you know who he is? Don’t overestimate yourself!”

Huo Tingyang let out a cold laugh, his tone brimming with undisguised mockery.

“You… you know him?”

Tiger, grinning in pain, didn’t forget to probe for more information about the other party.

“I know him, he… may not know me.”

“What the hell are you talking about, babbling nonsense… Ow, my hand, it’s damn well ruined! What kind of a maniac is that, it hurts like hell…”
