She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 405 The Young Mistress Was Bullied

Xia Xing understood what Huo Junyan meant.

They still need to distance the young mistress from President Huo's relationship and maintain their secret marriage.

He bowed his head and replied, "Okay, Mr. Huo."

Huo Junyan continued soaking in the medicinal bath. "Xia Xing, go downstairs and rest. Let Aunt Li tidy up your guest room."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xing silently agreed and withdrew.

After he left, Huo Junyan, who was lying in the bathtub, looked up at the ceiling above him.

What appeared before her eyes was Nan Yu with her fair skin, especially her reddened wrists.

He must have squeezed it really hard back then.

Tomorrow, have Secretary Chen deliver a box of the best ointment to Nanyu.

No wounds should be left.

Huo Junyan then closed his eyes again, letting drowsiness wash over him, and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Nan Yu, who had just returned home, encountered Qi Ming, who was still awake, as soon as she entered the door.

Qi Ming was fiddling with his camera when he saw Nan Yu return. He immediately stood up and moved closer to her.

"Young Madam, are you hungry? Would you like some late-night snacks?"

Nan Yu reflexively hid her injured right hand behind her back, for some reason not wanting Qi Ming to know.

"No, I'm not hungry."

After saying that, she picked up her suitcase and headed for the stairs.

"I'm a little tired today, Uncle Qi. You should get some rest. I'm going to sleep now."

Qi Ming watched her hurried departure, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry today, young mistress? Did something happen outside?"

His brow furrowed, he put down the camera in his hand, and immediately got up and went upstairs, still feeling uneasy.

When they reached the bedroom door, Qi Ming knocked.

"Young Madam, I have something I want to tell you." A minute later, Nan Yu's voice came from inside.

"Uncle Qi, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qi Ming found this even stranger.

Given the young mistress's usual personality, she would immediately open the door and ask him what he wanted to talk about.

Why are you avoiding him today?
More and more worried Qi Ming became, he knocked on the door again, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"Young Madam, is something wrong? Or is Nan Luzhi bullying you again?"

Nan Yu's muffled voice came through the door.

"Uncle Qi, don't make wild guesses, I'm really fine."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming was convinced that Nan Luzhi had bullied the young mistress, and his expression became even more serious.

"Young Madam, you should get some rest. I'll talk to you about that matter again tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and went downstairs to knock on the door of Wang Ma's nanny.

Wang Ma, who was applying a face mask, heard a rapid knocking on the door and opened it without even changing out of her pajamas.

"Butler Qi, what happened?"

Qi Ming looked serious and solemn.

"Wang Ma, the young mistress has been bullied!"

Wang Ma immediately adopted a fierce posture, "Who is so blind as to dare to bully the young mistress? Tell me, and I'll go teach that person a lesson right now!"

Qi Ming restrained the agitated Wang Ma and said coldly, "Wang Ma, he is the young mistress's adoptive father, the one Nan Luzhi bullied the young mistress!"

Aunt Wang asked curiously, "Isn't Nan Luzhi in the detention center? How could he have bullied the young mistress? Could it be that he's been released?"

Qi Ming nodded and said, "Yes, the Southern Route Chronicle is out."

“This morning someone turned himself in, saying that Nan Luzhi was not the murderer. After the police investigated, they found that Nan Luzhi was indeed not related to the person who set the mountain on fire, so he was released.”

"I heard that when he came out, his face was bruised and swollen. He had been beaten by a guy named Yan Ren inside. He directly accused Yan Ren of assault, and Yan Ren was suspended without pay on the spot."

"I reckon that Nan Luzhi is seething with anger right now, plotting how to get revenge on the young mistress!"
