IACF [QT] Chapter 100.1

After the holiday, Su Yi returned to the Capital Star again.

Everything was no different from before. The public’s attention to this impending war gradually waned as the army rushed to the border and the Zerg remained silent for the time being.

In the academy, the number of people watching Su Yi gradually decreased. 

After all, people’s curiosity about things is fresh. 

In addition, Huo Jun was not there during this period, and she was not a person who liked to make news. 

Gradually, no one looked at her with curiosity anymore.

It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old. No matter what your identity is, you can’t get rid of this.

The latest topic among the girls around Su Yi is the emperor’s new lover.

Yes, the emperor has a new lover again. 

They heard that this time it was different from the previous ones.

An entertainment reporter photographed the emperor and a young woman having dinner in a high-end restaurant near the palace. It was very low-key, which was not in line with his previous style at all.

More importantly, although the emperor was romantic and had countless lovers, most of his lovers had been with him since he was young, and there had been no new lovers in the past ten years. 

In other words, this time, this lover broke the seemingly stable situation that had existed for many years.

Therefore, the people were looking forward to a drama of new and old love.

Su Yi heard from those girls that the emperor’s new lover was not very old, even younger than Huo Jun, and seemed to be a college student.

When she heard this, she felt that this scumbag emperor was still strong despite his old age and was shameless.

She knew that Huo Jun had no expectations of the emperor as his biological father and that he was not the kind of child who would be upset if his father found a stepmother, so she treated this as a fresh joke and planned to share it with him next time Huo Jun contacted her.

To Su Yi’s surprise, before Huo Jun came to find her, his mother, Miss Huo, came to her house first.

The last time, which was also the only time they met, Miss Huo was so radiant and charming. 

Now, she came uninvited and sat on the sofa in Su Yi’s dormitory. Although she was still well-dressed and had exquisite makeup, she no longer had the spirit in her bones and even looked a little depressed.

If she thought about the recent overwhelming gossip, it was not hard to understand why she was in this state.

At the engagement banquet of Huo Jun and Su Yi not long ago, Miss Huo appeared in front of the public with the emperor’s arm, full of confidence and glory. 

At that time, many people were talking about this Miss Huo, who might become the one who made the emperor change his mind and become the mistress of the palace.

But only a few days later, the emperor showed up openly with his new lover and directly slammed Miss Huo’s face to the ground.

Not to mention, some people on the Internet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, expressed sympathy for the emperor’s old lovers everywhere, especially Miss Huo. After all, her popularity has not yet passed, and she was once the person closest to success in the eyes of others.

If it were someone else, it would be fine. But for someone like Miss Huo, who climbed up from a low position step by step, what she hated most was the self-righteous sympathy of others because that made her even more unbearable. 

She was not angry to death, and she was able to appear here in good condition, which was considered a good temper.

Miss Huo did not beat around the bush and asked Su Yi directly, “Has Huo Jun contacted you?”

Su Yi expected that when she came here, she would not talk to her about topics other than Huo Jun.

Perhaps it was because Huo Jun went to the border station and could not contact the outside world frequently. The only chance every month was given to her. Miss Huo could not find him, so she had to come to Su Yi.

“We talked two weeks ago.” Su Yi said.

Miss Huo nodded and said, “I know he doesn’t like me. I’m not a competent mother, and I never expected him to be a filial son. But he is an indispensable part of my plan.”

“Tell him that the only thing he has to do is to earn enough military merits and win the hearts of the soldiers. Leave everything else to me, and I will let him take that position.”

Her directness surprised Su Yi a little. 

She couldn’t help asking, “What if he doesn’t want that position?”

“He has to take it even if he doesn’t want it. Even if he only sits there for a day or an hour, the gratitude for his birth and raising will be written off. After that, I won’t interfere with what he wants to do. Even if he wants to break off relations with me, I agree, because we are clear by then.” Miss Huo said almost persistently.

Su Yi raised her eyebrows slightly. 

Miss Huo was the first person she had ever seen who expressed her desire for power so frankly and used family affection as a bargaining chip so directly.

It was really strange that she and the emperor, two such ruthless people, could give birth to Huo Jun.

Miss Huo glanced at her and said with a smile, “I know what you are thinking. It’s just that there are all kinds of people in the vast universe. For example, you are different from your appearance.”

“I never believed that Huo Jun would fall in love with a girl who is so naive and a little silly. If I want to contact him, it’s not that there are no other ways. I chose to come to you because I know he will listen to you.”

When she said this, Su Yi did not hide anything and said, “How can you be sure that I will tell him the truth? What if I want him to not listen to you and just run away with me?”
