Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1720 - 1718: Marrying Him and Soaring to the Top (Part 1)

In the luxurious European-style dining room:

Hua Nuan’s gaze shifted to Hua Dong, troubled by a question that had been haunting her for years, a truth she desperately sought.

That is, back then... why exactly did the incident with Hua Kun occur?

Hua Kun was never involved in drugs, and she certainly couldn’t believe that Hua Kun would participate in gambling, then rack up enormous debts.

And then...

Choose suicide after amassing huge debts.

So, what is the truth? Hua Nuan urgently wanted to know.

Now, the only person left to ask is Hua Dong, and Hua Nuan had no other choice but to question Hua Dong.

Hua Dong looked awkward, with a tinge of guilt in his heart, knowing that he was the one responsible for what happened to Hua Kun back then.

Worried about being exposed, Hua Dong adjusted his facial expression and feigned a sorrowful tone.

"Akun was my brother, of course I believe he was wronged. Sigh, but people, you know, sometimes make mistakes. It’s normal, so Nuannuan, since it’s been 6 years now, you shouldn’t be so insistent on it."

"Hmm."

It’s not that she’s being insistent.

But the man who loved her the most in this world was suddenly reported to have committed suicide one day.

Then completely vanished from this world.

Afterwards, the loving family shattered into pieces.

Finally, she ended up in captivity, sold off by others.

Since then, she’s been entangled with Huo Zun indefinitely.

In short, all these present circumstances stem from the incident with Hua Kun back then, so the truth from those years is crucial.

Hua Nuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, pulling at the corner of her lips.

"Uncle, do you think it has anything to do with Huo Zun?"

"This..."

Hua Dong looked awkward, squinted his eyes, actually, it’s not a bad opportunity to shift the blame to Huo Zun.

Thinking of this, Hua Dong feigned a mature tone and said, "Business affairs, involving interests, it’s hard to say. Nuannuan, you’re still too young, so don’t overthink it."

Though not explicitly stated, the obscure hints were all directed towards Hua Nuan.

Hua Nuan narrowed her eyes; many of Hua Dong’s words overlapped with what she had imagined.

Indeed, Hua Dong was involved in gambling at Huo Zun’s casino back then, racking up significant gambling debts, and the prime beneficiary was Huo Zun.

However, Huo Zun’s character is straightforward, if a man truly did it, no excuses would be made.

The events of those years really were perplexing and headache-inducing.

Hua Nuan squeezed out a faint smile, and said, "Hmm, thanks, Uncle. I understand."

...

The atmosphere was momentarily heavy, Hua Ruyi just finished asking Hua Nuan a question, and though received Hua Nuan’s reply, didn’t get the desired answer, still unsatisfied, couldn’t help but continue to ask.

"Nuannuan, you said Mr. Huo provided you the best educational and living environment. How exactly does he treat you? Surely some concrete specifics?"

Hua Nuan frowned her beautiful brows, not liking others focusing too much on her private life.

"I attended a Female Private Academy, and continued with the interest clubs dad enrolled me in before. As for the living environment, it’s likely a hundred times better than before, but of course, only materially."

Hua Nuan tugged at the corner of her lips, longing for a warm father-daughter bond, something Huo Zun couldn’t provide her.
