Chapter 62: Mask Blown?

Upon hearing this, the crowd in the corridor began to murmur and complain indignantly as well.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Xu Xu was just about to open her mouth to explain.

Suddenly, a horde of reporters rushed out from the elevator, hoisting heavy equipment and immediately snapping pictures of her!

The glare of the camera flashes blinded Xu Xu, and the overlapping, clamoring questions from the reporters rang so loudly in her ears that they induced a ringing sound.

Right at that moment, a figure abruptly stepped in front of her, shielding her from the flashing lights at his back.

Xu Xu opened her eyes and looked in astonishment at the person standing before her.

It turned out to be Huo Yunzhe.

"You..."

"Xu Xu, admit it, you can't live without me."

Xu Xu: "..."

Just as she was about to utter a word of thanks, Huo Yunzhe delivered a critical blow with his very first sentence, leaving her utterly speechless.

"Want my help?" Huo Yunzhe hooked the corners of his lips into a confident, winning smile.

"What are your conditions?"

Xu Xu's face remained expressionless. She certainly did not believe that Huo Yunzhe would be kind enough to help her unconditionally.

Sure enough, seeing that Xu Xu had taken the bait, Huo Yunzhe immediately exposed his true intention: "It's very simple. Just divorce that cheap husband of yours."

Xu Xu: "..."

Xu Xu: "No wonder you came to the hospital. Turns out your brain is sick."

Hearing Xu Xu subtly curse him like that, Huo Yunzhe didn't get angry at all. Besides, he hadn't been cursed at infrequently by Xu Xu these past few days, and he was practically getting used to it.

"The choice is in your hands. You can refuse me," Huo Yunzhe said unhurriedly. "However..."

He leaned in slightly closer to Xu Xu's ear and lowered his voice: "We did date for quite a long time after all. Whether you possess a medical qualification certificate or not, I know better than anyone."

"You..."

Xu Xu glared at him, her hands involuntarily tightening into fists at the hem of her clothes.

Seeing Xu Xu's reaction, Huo Yunzhe smiled even more brilliantly.

"Xu Xu, you have no other choice. If you refuse my help and the public opinion blows up, whether you can protect yourself... I certainly can't guarantee it."

Xu Xu caught the implied threat in these words.

"Shameless."

Xu Xu stared coldly at Huo Yunzhe, feeling an overwhelming sense of grievance in her heart.

She would never agree to Huo Yunzhe's demand!

But given the current situation...

It would be one thing if she were the only one being cursed at, but what if it implicated the hospital and Mother Su as well?

Should she just reveal her true identity to the public?

No, if her identity was exposed, what would happen to her master's affairs?

Just as Xu Xu was hesitating, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She pulled out her phone and saw that the caller ID displayed...

Huo Chenshen.

"Hello?"

Xu Xu answered the call, using her hand to muffle the phone because the surrounding scene was too noisy.

"Xuxu, I saw the posts online. Are you alright?"

Listening to Huo Chenshen's worried voice, Xu Xu's heart somehow settled down: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

How could she possibly be fine...

Huo Chenshen looked at the message sent by his subordinate on his tablet and let out a gentle sigh.

His Xuxu was good at everything, except that she was far too sensible; even when she suffered grievances, she was unwilling to let those close to her worry.

"As long as you're fine." Huo Chenshen didn't expose Xu Xu's bluff. "What's the situation now?"

Xu Xu steadied her nerves and briefly recounted the sequence of events to Huo Chenshen.

She only concealed the fact that Father Su and Mother Su were her biological parents.

About this matter... she hadn't mentally prepared herself yet, so she didn't plan to tell Huo Chenshen either, sparing him unnecessary worry.

"...That Doctor Wang is simply devoid of all morality," Xu Xu couldn't help adding a final remark of complaint.

"Leave this matter to me to resolve."

At these words, a trace of icy chill flashed uncontrollably through Huo Chenshen's eyes.
