Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 258 President Wen appears, confronting President Huo.

After Ning Yao sent the message to Wen Tingye, she did not receive a response immediately, but instead received a phone call from an unfamiliar number.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Luo Xiyao?"

"Yes, I am."

"I am Huo Zhijing, Huo Muxi's third uncle." The other party introduced himself directly, showing he was a straightforward person.

Huo Zhijing, this name sounds familiar, but Ning Yao can't remember where she's heard it before.

"Is there something you need?" Ning Yao asked softly, her voice polite and gentle.

"Could you please let Miss Luo come out for a meeting? I'd like to bring my good-for-nothing niece to apologize to you," Huo Zhijing asked.

Ning Yao frowned; she hadn't forgotten Huo Muxi's ferocious, murderous look.

The Huo Group has a remarkable background. Although it is not among the top five families, its financial resources and influence are no less than those of the top five families.

"There's no need for us to meet. The matter is over. I won't pursue your niece, and please don't come looking for me again."

"I have something to do, I'll hang up now, goodbye."

Ning Yao hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

If she lowers her status too much, the Huo family will think she's easy to bully.

However, adopting an overly arrogant attitude can breed resentment.

Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which was just right.

Cui Mengmeng asked, "Who called you?"

Generally speaking, all outside contact with Luo Xiyao goes through her, and very few people know Luo Xiyao's private phone number.

But this person went directly to Luo Xiyao, and he wasn't even an acquaintance; he seemed like a complete stranger.

Ning Yao smiled, casually put her phone aside, and didn't answer Cui Mengmeng's question.

Xin Yujue said, "They must be Huo Muxi's family, probably the rumored Third Uncle Huo. Huo Muxi only has one uncle."

Cui Mengmeng asked curiously, "Why call an uncle 'Third Uncle'? Wouldn't it be better to just call him 'Uncle'?"

Xin Yujue: "A few years ago, the Huo family was ambushed by enemies, and almost all of Huo Zhijing's generation died at that time."

"How could something like this happen in the capital? Why isn't it on the news? I didn't see it at all." Cui Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, her face turning pale with fright.

Xin Yujue: "The Huo family can't operate openly. Don't you know the Huo Group's underground power? They do those kinds of things."

Cui Mengmeng: "What things?"

Xin Yujue: "Look it up online yourself!"

Cui Mengmeng touched her nose: "Oh..."

Ning Yao wasn't interested in the Huo family. She would be grateful if they didn't bother her again; as the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble.

After the Michelin three-star chef scandal broke out, people spared no effort to find out who was behind it.

The photos were taken by two inconspicuous female students at the school. The camera model, shooting angle, and even the faces and figures of the people involved were exposed, which clearly indicates that someone secretly checked the school's surveillance footage.

Ning Yao didn't know the two girls and assumed they were just jealous, so she didn't pursue the matter.

Wenna still keeps to herself, but she's no longer low-key. She's now dressed in either high-end designer brands or limited-edition seasonal pieces.

She also starred in the drama "Palm of My Hand" as a supporting actress with a significant amount of screen time. Suddenly, her classmates discovered this hidden figure and began to compare Wen Na and Ning Yao.

"I think Wenna has more style. Before, without dressing up, she was really unremarkable. I wouldn't even notice her. But now, with her makeup and style, she's quite stylish. She has a really good presence, very Western style, like a model!"

"Wen Na is more low-key and doesn't create any hype. She just quietly plays her role well and works diligently. She is a role model for us to learn from!"

"Luo Xiyao's reputation has really not been good since her debut. One thing after another, it's exhausting to watch. Although she has successfully denied them all in the end, maybe this is the kind of hype she wants, to create her own fame."

"As actors, we should focus on our acting skills and not follow Luo Xiyao's example. She has considerable influence behind her. Who knows if she got the role through her own efforts or if someone bribed her?"

These comments more or less reached Ning Yao's ears.

She initially came to the Communication University of China under an assumed name, without using a single penny of her own resources, precisely because she didn't want to see this situation.

She wanted to rely on her own abilities to move forward step by step and fulfill her mother's and her dreams, but now it seems she's going further and further astray.

After class, Ning Yao walked around as if no one was there. Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue both had things to do today, so she could only go back to the classroom apartment to eat alone.

On the way, Ning Yao always felt that someone was following her, but every time she turned around, she didn't find anything unusual.

She was stopped by several bodyguards in black when she reached the corner of the teachers' apartment building.

Ning Yao's expression was not good. She adopted a fighting stance, showing no fear that the other side outnumbered her several times over.

“Miss Luo, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Huo wants to see you, but you’re unwilling, so he has no choice but to resort to this impolite method.” After the bodyguard finished speaking, Huo Zhijing walked out from behind.

He took off his suit and changed into men's casual clothes, with a smile on his face, looking approachable.

The teachers' apartment area was cleared out, and not a single person could be seen. Ning Yao was shocked by Huo Zhijing's power, but she showed no fear on her face.

"I've already said everything I needed to say on the phone." Ning Yao was stunned when she finally saw Huo Zhijing's face clearly.

Wasn't he the businessman we met in the first-class cabin when we went to see Bruce?

His daughter, who was about four or five years old, was poisoned, and it was Ning Yao who saved her.

So, Ning Yao could be considered Huo Zhijing's benefactor.

Huo Zhijing also felt that Ning Yao's beautiful fox-like eyes looked somewhat familiar.

However, Ning Yao was disguised at the time, and her appearance was different from her current real face. He didn't recognize her at first, but felt a sense of familiarity.

"Your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?" Huo Zhijing was never one to beat around the bush; he said what he wanted to say.

Ning Yao's expression was indifferent as she spoke lies with a straight face.

"Isn't Mr. Huo's way of striking up a conversation a bit too old-fashioned?"

"Hahaha..." Huo Zhijing laughed heartily upon hearing this.

The next second, Huo Zhijing caught a glimpse of other plainclothes bodyguards hidden near the teachers' apartments; none of them were the people he had brought.

Although those people were dressed in civilian clothes, their posture and movements gave away their identities; they were special forces mercenaries.

During the clearing operation, these people were surprisingly overlooked. It seems they are well-trained and secretly protecting someone.

As soon as he uttered the words "certain people," Huo Zhijing gave Ning Yao a meaningful look.

"Miss Luo, your background is not simple."

"Why do you say that, Mr. Huo? My background is nothing to you," Ning Yao said modestly, shaking her head.

"I won't waste any more time. I've come here to ask Miss Luo to name her terms. Whatever your request, as long as it's within my power, I, Huo, will not refuse!"

Huo Zhijing showed great sincerity, his eyes were genuine, and his words did not seem perfunctory, nor did he intend to abuse his power.

"Any request is fine?" Ning Yao said with a smile.

"Of course, anything is possible." Since Huo Zhijing had made the promise, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"I hope you won't bother my life anymore." Ning Yao tilted her head, smiling like an innocent young girl, her voice gentle.

"Sure," Huo Zhijing readily agreed.

"If you're sure you want this, I can agree to it and give you 50 million as compensation."

"In addition, I also hope that Miss Luo can do me a favor," Huo Zhijing quickly got to the point and said in a deep voice.

Ning Yao knew that Huo Zhijing wouldn't be so kind as to just come to apologize and then give her 50 million for nothing.

"I'm just a college student with no connections. I'm quite curious, what can I do to help Mr. Huo?"

"Help me persuade Ning Chen not to leave the Huo's Computer Base," Huo Zhijing said, his shrewd eyes fixed on Ning Yao, as if trying to read her thoughts from her eyes.

Such a look is extremely repulsive and makes one feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Yao frowned imperceptibly, about to answer, when a man's voice came from behind her.

"Mr. Huo, it's been a long time."

The voice was deep, magnetic, and powerful, with a hint of nonchalant flirtation—clearly a voice Ning Yao knew all too well…
