"I don't feel anything for him anymore. Hate is only possible when there is love. I don't love or hate the Huo family or Mr. Huo. I feel like a stranger to them."
"Ha … this is the first time I've heard you say that about your father."
"I don't think he's my father. I'd rather acknowledge my stepfather, Mr. Jing."
"Oh, right. I heard he passed away a long time ago. How's your mother?"
"She's doing very well. Thank you for your concern," Huo Mien said politely, but at the same time, she sounded distant.
"Your mother is good. She raised you well. Other than the fact that you're dressed rather plainly, you're not inferior to Huo Yanyan," Jiang Hong commented.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. I can't compare to a socialite. You're flattering me."
Jiang Hong and Huo Mien chatted about their daily lives. She wanted to find a way to get to the main point.
However, after chatting for a while, she realized that this young lady was too smart. Her answers were flawless and she couldn't find a single flaw in them.
She didn't seem like someone in her twenties who was mature and calm.
In the end, Jiang Hong couldn't help but ask, "Huo Mien, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
"A little bit."
"Oh? Is that so? Tell me about it then. " Jiang Hong's interest was piqued. She leaned back on the purple sofa and looked at Huo Mien expectantly.
Huo Mien had taken off her nurse's white coat and was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black knee-length skirt.
The combination of black and white was simple, but it looked good. She never dressed up as flirtatiously and brightly as Huo Yanyan.
However, she always stood in the crowd so elegantly and calmly that it was unforgettable.
Huo Siqian had mentioned Huo Mien a few times. Jiang Hong had a deep impression of Huo Mien, especially during the wake.
Faced with Jiang Hong's questioning, Huo Mien hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "If I'm not wrong, Madam asked me to come here to ask me which side I'm on, right? Madam wants me to come home to help you and Young Master Huo. If I don't agree, she's afraid that I'll side with Madam Shen and become your enemy. So, my existence has already caused a certain degree of trouble to Madam. "
After hearing Huo Mien's answer, Jiang Hong stared at her for a long time with a meaningful look in her eyes.
After a while, she sighed and said, "You're really not a simple girl."
"It seems that I have guessed correctly." Huo Mien smiled.
"That's right. You're absolutely right. So, which side are you on? I'm sure you're aware of the Huo Corporation's situation. My son, Siqian, has taken control of most of the company's shares. Although Huo Zhenghai hasn't acknowledged you on the surface, he's actually been thinking about you, or rather … "
At this point, Jiang Hong purposely paused for a moment …
Huo Mien continued her sentence, "Or rather, he doesn't want to acknowledge me as his daughter. He's just afraid that Madam Shen's family will be taken advantage of, so he wants to drag me down with him and protect his son and daughter's shares."
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Hong nodded and looked at Huo Mien with undisguised admiration.
"But these are just your thoughts. Do you want to hear what I have to say?" Huo Mien asked.
"Okay."
"I've never wanted to get involved in any war, so I don't want to choose a side at all. I haven't had any deep ties with any of your sides all these years, so whether it's you or Mrs. Shen, I won't interfere. That's what I mean."
"So you're saying that you're going to give up the shares that belong to you? Do you know how much it's worth? That's probably more than you can earn in your lifetime. Don't you like the life where you can get whatever you want? Having too much money isn't a bad thing, "Jiang Hong reminded him.
