Huo Mien thought that his mother would give him a cold look when she mentioned the sad past.
However, to his surprise, Yang Meirong only pouted and said, "He's been dead for so long, why bring him up? We're happy today, so let's eat and drink well."
Since Yang Meirong said so, the other three aunts didn't say anything else.
During dinner, Huo Mien went to the kitchen to get more food, and Jing Zhixin quietly followed him.
"Sis, don't mind what those gossipy aunts said. They're just that kind of people, they love to gossip."
"I know, I didn't mind."
"That's good. Sis, you don't seem very busy these days," Jing Zhixin looked at his sister and asked.
"Yeah, the hospital gave me three days off, so I'm pretty free."
"That's good. Since you don't have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you stay over tonight? You haven't stayed over in a while." Jing Zhixin's eyes were pleading. He really liked his sister. When they were young, they often played hide and seek under the old tree in the yard. When they got tired, they would lean against the tree and fall asleep. His sister would also tell him Grimm's Fairy Tales.
His sister was a genius. Jing Zhixin couldn't even recognize the words in those thick Grimm's Fairy Tales, but his sister could recite them backwards.
He always thought that his sister was his greatest pride.
Even when his biological father, Jing De, died because of his sister, he never blamed her.
Huo Mien always thought that her brother was a warm man. His smile was bright and carefree, so she really wanted to protect him.
Especially after Uncle Jing passed away, she didn't want Zhixin to suffer.
"Okay." Huo Mien thought about Jing Zhixin's request and nodded in agreement.
"Yay, that's great!" Jing Zhixin was ecstatic.
After dinner, the aunts left, and Huo Mien followed her mother to clean up.
While washing the dishes, she quietly said, "Mom, Jiang Hong came looking for me a few days ago and asked if I wanted to go back."
"What good could she possibly want from you?"
"It's about the internal strife in the Huo family. The fight between the main family and the second family has reached its climax."
"That's for the best. It'll be better if he dies randomly and piss off that heartless jerk." Yang Meirong was filled with resentment at the mention of Huo Zhenghai.
Back then, she had been in the entertainment industry. She should have had a bright future ahead of her, but she didn't expect to be ruined by this heartless man.
In the end, the child she gave birth to was not acknowledged. This allowed the vixen Shen Jiani to take advantage of the loophole.
"I won't go back. I don't want the Huo family's property, and I don't want to talk to anyone in the Huo family," Huo Mien said.
Yang Meirong's hand paused slightly as she turned to look at Huo Mien.
"It's rare for you to be so open-minded."
"Mom, I don't want to go through what you went through all those years ago. There's nothing good about being rich. With more money comes more worries. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you and Zhixin in peace. When Zhixin gets married and has kids, I'll take you to the south for a vacation. We'll see the great rivers and mountains of our motherland."
Huo Mien's words truly moved Yang Meirong...
Ever since Jing De died, she had been venting her anger on her daughter. The truth was, she didn't really hate her daughter.
She just didn't know how to face the cruel truth.
"You're not young anymore. You'll get married one day. Keep your eyes open and find an honest man to live with. Don't find a rich man. Not only will he look down on us, but our relationship might not be stable either."
Hearing his mother's words, Huo Mien felt a deep sense of guilt.
If his mother knew that he was married to Qin Chu, she would probably go crazy.
"Mom, you're not in good health. Why don't we close the convenience store? We can sell the house and live in the city. You can enjoy life there." Huo Mien wasn't under so much financial pressure now. He wanted his mother to sell the house and make a down payment for a new house so that they could live together.
