Huo Zhenghai's hand shook slightly as he ate the apple. Then, he sighed and said deliberately, "Sigh, I'm getting old and useless. I can't believe I miss Huo Mien so much."
"Yeah, I could tell that she was a good girl at Grandma's funeral." Huo Siqian smiled.
"But that child doesn't seem to want to forgive me. I don't know if I'll ever hear her call me 'Dad' again." Huo Zhenghai was a little moved.
Huo Siqian reached out and patted the back of Huo Zhenghai's hand, comforting him, "She will. Dad, don't worry, Mian isn't such a heartless person. She'll definitely come back, I promise."
"Are you … close to Mian in private?" Huo Zhenghai asked tentatively.
"I really like her as a sister, but she doesn't like me. She won't even greet me when we meet. I don't have a choice. I want to get close to her and take care of her as her brother, but I don't even have the chance."
"Oh …" Huo Zhenghai seemed to be relieved.
"What's wrong? Dad, did Mian say something to you? "
"Nothing."
Seeing Huo Zhenghai's expression, Huo Siqian only smiled and didn't say anything else.
On the way home, Huo Mien took his mother to a mall near their home and bought her autumn thermal underwear and shoes.
Yang Meirong kept saying that it was enough and wouldn't buy anything. In fact, Huo Mien knew that she was afraid that he would spend too much money.
"Mom, don't worry, I've already transferred to another job. The salary here is very high, I can support you and Zhixin."
"But you can't spend it recklessly. It's not easy to make money." Yang Meirong sighed.
In the end, under Huo Mien's insistence, Yang Meirong finally agreed to eat out at a restaurant.
She only found a small dumpling restaurant and ordered two dumplings and a small side dish.
"Mom, what you said today, was it true? Back then, did you really beg that heartless man for Uncle Jing's sake? "
"Yeah, I was at my wits' end back then, and I was holding on to the last glimmer of hope."
"Then you went there today to taunt and humiliate him, right? Have you vented your anger now? "Huo Mien put a dumpling on his mother's plate.
"I can only vent my anger if he dies. The hatred between us is too deep. But Mian, remember, I won't stop you. If you still care about our father-daughter relationship, you can go and see her. You are you, and I am me. I know the difference between us."
"Mom, do you think he really wants to make it up to me?" Huo Mien asked again.
"He doesn't look like he's faking it. I've never seen him cry in all the years I've known him. Today, his eyes are red. Perhaps he's afraid that he won't be able to hear you call him 'Dad' in the end?" Yang Meirong sighed.
Huo Mien looked at his mother and took a bite of the side dish. Then, he said slowly, "Mom, that's why I said that you're still too naive. He saw through your weakness."
"You don't think he's sincere?" Yang Meirong was a bit surprised.
Huo Mien sneered, "Haven't you heard of a type of tear called 'crocodile tears'? Today, he deliberately put on a show for us to see. He doesn't really want to beg for our forgiveness. He just wants to rope us in. Like I said, he wants us to get involved in the Huo Clan's fight, then stand on his side and help him protect his son and daughter. "
"But … what if you guessed wrong? You didn't wrongly accuse him? "Yang Meirong thought back to what just happened and felt that Huo Zhenghai's emotions weren't fake.
"There's no way I guessed wrong. Who is he? Aside from the fact that he used to be your man, my father? He's a huge business tycoon. Do you think a person like him hasn't seen anything? Why would he care about love? He hasn't looked for us all these years. Now that the Huo Family is in a civil war, he suddenly has a conscience and wants to acknowledge me as his daughter? At the end of the day, he saw through human nature's weakness. When Grandma passed away, he asked me to go back home to pave the way for a dark relationship … Mom, I'm not you. I won't be used. You're too stupid, and that's why you ended up in this tragedy. I'll show you his true colors. I'll also let him know that he's not the only one who's heartless. His scheme won't succeed, and he won't acknowledge me as his daughter. "
After speaking, Huo Mien lowered her head and ate the dumplings, one bite at a time …
Yang Meirong was dumbfounded. She knew too little about her daughter's thoughts.
Sometimes, she even wondered if Huo Mien was really her daughter. Why was she so smart?
She was so smart that it was scary …
At eight o 'clock in the evening, Huo Yanyan drove Shen Jiani's sports car to the hospital room.
As soon as they entered the room, Huo Yanyan impatiently asked, "Dad, how did it go? Did those two idiots believe your act today? Did Huo Mien agree to come back and inherit the shares to help me and my brother? "
