Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 76

Qiao Ni rushed straight to Li Su, shoving the trending hashtag on her tablet in front of her.

#Spring Festival Gala Rejected Performances#

Lin Yaoqing’s performance was glaringly listed among them.

Rejected by the Spring Festival Gala.

This was completely normal.

Really, completely normal.

Never mind that the Gala was still two months away.

Even if it were just a month left, performances could still get axed.

Even veterans who had performed over a dozen times weren’t guaranteed a spot.

“Serves her right!!”

Qiao Ni fumed.

“Let her poach our people!”

“Jian Jiaqing must be furious now!”

“So satisfying!”

Li Su had never been a petty person.

Compared to a performance being rejected, she’d rather see more people appreciate the beauty of Chinese dance.

She had performed at last year’s Spring Festival Gala. Before the show aired, many accused her of relying on connections to secure her spot.

But after her performance, all she received was praise.

Because she had been there, Lin Yaoqing dreamed of performing at the Gala too.

Li Su stood up. “You came at the perfect time. This Mr. Huo wants to discuss the annual gala performance. You can handle the contract with him. I’m going to practice.”

It had been over four months since her accident.

Now, she could walk without crutches or a wheelchair, and simple dance moves were no problem at all.

Li Su really left.

Qiao Ni had once witnessed their love story, and now she was seeing Li Su walk away from Huo Zhenzhou without a second thought.

Mr. Huo looked so pitiful.

Hah!

What good was pity now?

Qiao Ni had seen how heartbroken Li Su had been back then.

All the misfortune and disasters of the past year had been brought on by Huo Zhenzhou.

Qiao Ni stood to the side. “Mr. Huo, where did you two leave off?”

“Dates.”

“Got it. Let’s continue. Any specific requirements from your side?”

Half an hour later, Huo Zhenzhou appeared at the door of Li Su’s dance studio.

He remembered watching her like this before.

Back then, Li Su wasn’t just practicing simple moves. Back then, they were still a couple.

Qiao Ni stood at a distance, eyeing Huo Zhenzhou.

Tsk tsk!

What was he doing? What was he doing?!

Late affection was as worthless as weeds!

Li Su paused to rest, taking a sip of water. When she turned around, she saw Huo Zhenzhou standing at the door.

For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she had been transported back a year, when their relationship wasn’t like this.

Whenever Huo Zhenzhou wasn’t busy with work, he would come to the studio to keep her company.

No matter how long she practiced, he would stay.

Never impatient, never leaving.

He was a good man, which was why he had agreed to Zhou Motang’s grandfather’s dying wish.

He hadn’t failed the person who saved him.

But Huo Zhenzhou had failed her.

Li Su’s expression remained calm. “Mr. Huo, you’re still here?”

Huo Zhenzhou avoided the question. “When are you two moving back to the Huo residence?”

Li Su: “I don’t know. To me, it makes no difference where I live.”

Compared to that, living in her own home was naturally more comfortable.

Huo Xuanye didn’t mind either.

As long as he was with her, he’d live in a tent if he had to.

“Are you avoiding me?”

Huo Zhenzhou stepped inside. “What happened last time was my fault. I acted impulsively.”

“You didn’t hit me. There’s no need to apologize.” Li Su stood her ground.

“When you were missing, I often went to the shore. I thought if I stood by the sea, I’d see you come back.”

Huo Zhenzhou’s steps suddenly halted.

He saw a faint sorrow and grief flicker in Li Su’s eyes.

“I’m sorry. I was too rash back then.”

Li Su’s heart ached slightly. “It’s too late for you to say these things now.”

Huo Zhenzhou whispered softly, “Susu, you rushed into marriage because of me. I hope you can be happy.”

“Thanks to you, I never suffered any grievances growing up, but last year I endured them all. After weathering so many storms, my life should be happy from now on.”

Li Su replied calmly, “So what if it was a flash marriage? You should know your brother better than I do. Someone as protective as him wouldn’t let me suffer, especially since he likes me.”

When had Huo Xuanye ever liked Li Su?

He hadn’t noticed at all before.

“What about me? Then what am I supposed to be? Before, I lost my memory. Now that I’ve regained it, my fiancée is married to my brother, how am I supposed to accept that?” Huo Zhenzhou’s face was twisted in anguish.

A meter of distance separated them, and he didn’t dare to close the gap.

Heartache only exists where there’s love.

From the day Huo Zhenzhou brought Zhou Motang back, Li Su had decided to stop loving him.

“Well, you didn’t consider my feelings when you brought your wife home. I endured the pain then, and now it’s your turn!” Li Su’s voice was sharp, her expression cold.

Huo Zhenzhou grew agitated, “Susu, I’m already suffering! I can’t sleep at night without medication!”

“When I was searching for you, I collapsed from exhaustion. I broke down and fainted. Huo Zhenzhou, I owe you nothing. Do you really think you deserve to ask me to divorce and be with you?” Her eyes were icy.

“I-”

Huo Zhenzhou’s face twisted in pain.

“You don’t deserve it! You lost your memory and married someone else, that proves you didn’t love me as much as I thought. So… I didn’t love you as much as you imagined either. People can survive without anyone. I pulled through, and so can you…”

“Susu, I’m in so much pain, I regret it so much…” Huo Zhenzhou clutched his chest. “If I had another chance, I would never have married her!”

But there was no such thing as a pill for regret in this world!

“Besides… Huo Zhenzhou, you’re tainted.” Li Su sneered. “You’ve slept with her. I find you disgusting…”

Huo Zhenzhou froze.

Li Su picked up her coat and walked past him.

“Boss! Boss!”

“Are you okay?”

Qiao Ni had been worried something might happen between them and hadn’t gone far.

“Are you alright?”

Li Su sighed. “Hand over all future work with the Huo Corporation to you. I’ll give you a bonus at the end of the year.”

“Got it!”

“Take care, Boss.”

Qiao Ni saw her off.

A long time later, Huo Zhenzhou finally emerged.

His expression was one of despair, regret, and sorrow…

There were plenty of men out there!

Qiao Ni completely understood Li Su’s choice.

Back in April, when Huo Zhenzhou had gone missing, Li Su had already grieved. In her heart, Huo Zhenzhou was already dead.

She had long since begun to forget him.

And then Huo Zhenzhou had brought someone else back, giving Li Su the final push to erase him completely.

Now?

The second young master of the Huo family and the boss were doing just fine!!!

Late at night.

Everyone in the Li family villa was asleep.

Huo Xuanye heard his phone ring and answered in a panic, afraid of waking Li Su beside him.

Holding the phone, he carefully slipped out of bed and walked to the outer room. “Mom, what is it?”

Calling so late at night.

“Where’s your brother? Why hasn’t he come back yet…”

“My brother? I-” Huo Xuanye was exasperated. “Mom, my brother’s an adult. He can take responsibility for himself. If you want to know where he is, call him!”

“He’s not answering his phone. The driver said he drove off by himself today.”

“A’Ye, do you think something happened to him?”

What could possibly happen?

It’s not like he’d go back to the shore and jump in again, right?

In his eyes, Huo Zhenzhou wasn’t that fragile, his resilience couldn’t be that weak.

Huo Xuanye said softly, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m sure he’s fine. Maybe he just wants some time alone.”
