“What do you want?” Huo Mian texted Huo Yanyan.
“I just want to see you and talk to you in person… I’m now at the entrance of your hospital.”
“Good. Come up.” Suppressing her fury, Huo Mian finally agreed to see her.
Instead of meeting her in the office, Huo Mian chose to see her in a gazebo behind the hospital; there were few people around.
“What do you want?” Huo Mian crossed her arms before her chest. Wearing a pure-white coat and a pair of black-framed glasses, she gave people the feeling of aloofness.
She knew the relationship between her and Huo Yanyan couldn’t return to its previous state.
She didn’t know when their relationship began to deteriorate, maybe after Huo Siyi died.
Or maybe it was after she learned that Huo Yanyan had caused the divorce between Shen Mingxi and Wei Ying.
Or maybe, it was after Huo Yanyan forced Huo Mian to rescue her kid from Huo Siqian by playing a weeping and desperate mother…
“Mian, I’m sorry. Forgive me for forcing you to meet me in this way. But I know I wouldn’t be able to see you otherwise,” Huo Yanyan said pathetically.
“If I stabbed you and then said ‘I’m sorry’, would you accept the apology?” Huo Mian asked.
Huo Yanyan was silent.
“So, don’t tell me you’re sorry. After you chose this method to gain this meeting, you don’t even have the right to apologize.” Huo Mian looked at Huo Yanyan coldly.
“Mian, I had no other options. I…”
“Stop acting as if that’s your sole purpose to see me. I don’t have time to enjoy it… After all, your acting skills can only fool Shen Mingxi. You can’t fool me with your lies. Get to the point.”
Huo Mian waved her hand and interrupted Huo Yanyan.
Having grown up with Huo Yanyan, Huo Mian knew more than anyone else what kind of person Huo Yanyan was.
How should one describe her? Huo Yanyan wasn’t a bad person in nature, but she was so influenced by her mother in the past that she no longer knew how to be a good person.
Every time when she faced a choice, she chose the wrong one.
She had been walking on the wrong path for so long that there was no chance for her to return…
“Fine. I won’t make circles since you are acting this way. Mian, I’m begging you to show mercy to my mom.”
“Hehe. Why?” Huo Mian sneered.
“You know He Yongjun planned the whole thing and he died. My mom only helped him…”
“Without your mom, would He Yongjun have kidnapped my daughters?! Are you kidding me?” Huo Mian’s heart trembled in fury whenever she thought of this.
“But He Yongjun did all the despicable things, and he was beaten to death by Qin Chu…”
“Huo Yanyan, I warn you not to spread lies. You were not there, so don’t spread rumors. He Yongjun had it coming. He attacked my husband, and my husband defended himself. Don’t twist it and say that he was beaten to death by my husband. It’s not true.” Huo Mian was piqued.
“Fine. Let’s not talk about it. My mom is not young; if she gets a life-time or dozens of years behind bars, she’d die in there…”
“No matter who it is, anyone breaking the law must face judgment. It’s useless talking to me. Go beg the judge.”
“No. I know you’re well-connected now and can find a way to get a light penalty for my Mom. Mian, if you agree, I promise I’ll make her leave the country and never come back; you’ll never see her again. Okay?” Huo Yanyan tried to soften Huo Mian.
