Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 290 The Heroine of an Old-Fashioned Romance Novel 10

But in the end, Ji Xiaosong still couldn't get what she wanted. There was nothing she could do; the Huo family had given her too much.

Given her current status, it would be very difficult for her to transcend her original social class without the Huo family's help to improve herself.

So when Grandma Huo invited her again, Ji Xiaosong finally decided to go to the old house and stay for three days out of the week.

Ji Xiaosong stood in front of the Huo family's old mansion, looking up at the nearly 1,000-square-meter Chinese-style manor villa, her palms sweating.

The three black Mercedes that escorted her there had already left, and eight servants stood neatly on both sides of the foyer, like soldiers waiting for inspection.

"Young Madam, please come with me."

The gray-haired butler bowed slightly, his scrutinizing gaze hidden in the wrinkles around his eyes.

Ji Xiaosong took a deep breath and stepped onto the marble steps.

The high heels clicked crisply on the ground, and she instinctively slowed her steps, afraid of disturbing the sleeping mansion.

After passing through the six-meter-high foyer, the butler led her to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The moment Ji Xiaosong pushed open the carved wooden door, her breath caught in her throat: This was no bedroom, it was clearly a small palace!

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a whole rose garden, and silk curtains hang from the four-poster bed. Even the bedside lamp is inlaid with decorations that look like real diamonds.

"The old lady instructed that you should rest first, and dinner will begin at six o'clock."

The butler added meaningfully, "All the important members of the Huo family will be present tonight."

After the door closed, Ji Xiaosong immediately kicked off her high heels and pounced onto the soft bed.

The silk bedding exuded a faint lavender scent, but she only felt suffocated.

My phone suddenly vibrated, and a text message from an unknown number popped up on the screen:

"There are flat shoes in the third drawer of the wardrobe. —H"

She ran barefoot into the walk-in closet, opened the designated drawer, and found more than twenty pairs of maternity shoes of different styles neatly arranged.

There was a note on the top pair of beige flats:

"Don't bring shame to the Huo family."

"Megalomaniac!"

Ji Xiaosong cursed out loud, but couldn't help trying on the shoes.

It fits perfectly.

She turned around and suddenly noticed a faint light flickering deep inside the wardrobe.

Push aside the hanging haute couture gown, and a built-in safe is revealed.

A small note was stuck to the combination lock:

"Try a birthday celebration"

Ji Xiaosong's fingers trembled as she typed in her birthday, and the box door opened with a click.

Inside lay a share transfer agreement and a blue velvet jewelry box.

She opened the box and gasped:

This is the blue diamond necklace that she glanced at for three seconds longer in the catalogue that the auction house staff brought to her when she entered 15 Central Park West. At the time, it was priced high enough to buy the building she used to live in.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs.

She ran to the window and saw a black Maybach drive into the courtyard.

The car door opened, and Huo Chen's tall figure stepped out. As if sensing something, the man suddenly looked up and accurately caught sight of her hiding behind the curtain.

Ji Xiaosong hurriedly squatted down, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

It's really strange. The last time they met, they were practically strangers.

how……

I'm actually starting to panic?

Two hours before dinner, a professional styling team suddenly arrived.

"Young Madam, the old lady specifically instructed us to prepare your outfit for tonight."

The leading female designer was all smiles, holding three dresses in her hands.

In the end, Ji Xiaosong chose a modified cheongsam, with light blue silk fabric embroidered with subtle patterns, which was both dignified and fashionable.

When she turned around in front of the full-length mirror, even the most knowledgeable designer couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Mr. Huo will be amazed."

At six o'clock sharp, Ji Xiaosong went downstairs in her newly changed low-heeled shoes.

A dozen or so elegantly dressed men and women were already seated in the restaurant, but their conversation abruptly stopped the moment she appeared.

"come over."

Huo Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced all the whispers.

He sat to the right of the head of the table, gesturing with his eyes to the empty seat next to him.

Ji Xiaosong straightened her back and walked over. To everyone's surprise, Huo Chen personally pulled out a chair for her.

"I heard you had a bad day at work?"

Midway through the meal, Huo Chen suddenly spoke, his movements as elegant as if he were creating a work of art as he cut the steak.

Ji Xiaosong flicked her chopsticks, and the crystal shrimp dumpling fell into the bone china plate with a crisp sound.

She never expected that this matter would reach Huo Chen's ears.

Actually, this matter is not a big deal. Yang Yang is her colleague at the same company. Ever since she had a falling out with Chen Mo last time, she always finds fault with herself.

The two often worked together, and it was common for the other person to make things difficult for them.

Before she could answer, the butler rushed in: "Young Master, Miss Yang Yang is outside the complex. She says she has important documents that require your signature..."

Huo Chen's eyes turned cold: "Tell her to get out."

When turning to Ji Xiaosong, his tone softened slightly: "The legal department will go to your company tomorrow to handle this matter."

The next morning, Ji Xiaosong was woken up by her cell phone ringing.

The screen displayed the name of the company's receptionist.

"Sister Xiaosong! Look at the company group chat! That shameless Yang Yang has revealed everything about you!"

She opened the WeChat group, and hundreds of unread messages popped up one after another.

At the top is a long message sent by Yang Yang:

"Some people climb the social ladder by having illegitimate children in their bellies, they probably don't even know who the father is, do they? Pretending to be a rich heiress, she's nothing more than a plaything for Mr. Huo on a whim..."

Attached are several blurry photos, which were taken secretly on the day she and Huo Chen registered their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and also a photo of her back as she had a prenatal checkup at the hospital.

Ji Xiaosong was trembling with anger. Her fingers flew across the screen as she sent two photos directly to the company's group chat:

The pregnancy test report and marriage certificate were clear, with the words "Huo Chen" standing out prominently in the spouse column.

Important information has been censored, but the information that has been revealed is enough to explain everything.

"Yang Yang, spreading rumors and defamation is a legal offense. I have solid evidence that you and my ex-fiancé were having an affair for three years. It's obvious who the mistress is."

After sending the message, she immediately dialed the company's legal department.

Half an hour later, a video of Yang Yang being asked to leave the company by security guards spread throughout the entire company group.

Around noon, Ji Xiaosong was taking a nap in Huo Chen's office lounge when she was suddenly awakened by a commotion.

She rubbed her eyes and went outside, where she saw Huo Chen having a meeting with several senior executives.

"The acquisition will commence today."

Huo Chen's voice was as cold as ice, "I want that company to be merged into the Huo family's businesses as quickly as possible."

After the executives left, Ji Xiaosong timidly asked, "Is it because of me?"

Huo Chen turned around, his gaze lingering on her slightly protruding belly for a moment:

"The Huo family members cannot be insulted. I have already investigated your ex-boyfriend's matter. It was not your fault, so I will not mind. But I cannot accept Yang Yang spreading such rumors."

He took a few steps closer and suddenly reached out to touch her cheek.

Ji Xiaosong held her breath, feeling the warmth of the man's fingertips.

"However, you did a good job too."

Huo Chen rarely praised him, saying, "Next time something like this happens, just tell me directly."

That afternoon, news spread throughout the company group that Yang Yang had been dismissed for "serious violation of professional ethics".

Even more shockingly, the company Chen Moxin joined announced the termination of his contract just two hours later.

Ji Xiaosong looked at the messages popping up on her phone, her feelings complicated.

She knew that this was all Huo Chen's doing. This swift and decisive approach made her feel both safe and protected, but also a little uneasy.

When she returned to the old house in the evening, Grandma Huo was waiting for her in the tea room.

"sit."

The old lady gestured for her to sit in the wicker chair opposite her and poured her a cup of flower tea herself. "I heard about what happened today."

Ji Xiaosong nervously gripped the teacup, afraid that the old man would scold her for causing trouble.

"A daughter-in-law of the Huo family must stand up for herself when necessary."

Grandma Huo suddenly smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothing out. "But there are some rules you have to learn. These rules and etiquette are not meant to restrict ourselves, but to make ourselves more comfortable so that we can make demands on others."

"I know, grandma."

Ji Xiaosong smiled faintly. As a member of a wealthy family, there were plenty of people who fawned over her.

But there are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher mountains to climb. She should also have enough self-discipline to avoid misunderstandings when interacting with others.

"There's a charity gala this weekend, you and Xiao Chen should go together."

Before leaving, Grandma Huo said meaningfully, "It's time for people in the circle to get to know the real Mrs. Huo."

Ji Xiaosong returned to her bedroom and found that Huo Chen had already returned and was sitting on the balcony working on documents.

The moonlight outlined his perfect profile, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"come over."

He said it without looking up.

Ji Xiaosong obediently walked over, and Huo Chen suddenly handed her a folder.

"have a look."

Opening the file revealed a blacklist of all the leading companies in Yang Yang and Chen Mo's industry, with her name prominently listed.

The last page is an offer from a multinational company, with the job location in an African country.

"satisfied?"

Huo Chen asked, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

Ji Xiaosong bit her lower lip, but finally nodded: "Everything is as you wish. I think this method is excellent."

Huo Chen raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.

He reached out and dialed the number, saying only one sentence: "The plan continues."

After hanging up the phone, silence fell in the room.

Ji Xiaosong mustered her courage and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Huo Chen's gaze fell on her lower abdomen, his voice low:

"You are carrying the Huo family's child."

Just as Ji Xiaosong lowered her eyes in disappointment, she heard him say again, "...and you are my wife."

These words were like a piece of candy, unexpectedly sweetening her heart.

Although she knew that Huo Chen might just be fulfilling his duties as a husband, at this moment, she allowed herself a little bit of wishful thinking.

Perhaps this marriage, which began unexpectedly, can truly blossom.

Outside the window, the roses in the old house swayed gently in the night breeze, as if witnessing something.

Touching her still-flat stomach, Ji Xiaosong felt a sense of belonging to the identity of "Mrs. Huo" for the first time.
