"No need." Faced with Huo Siqian's offer to help, Huo Mien immediately rejected it.
"Don't be so stubborn. If you don't control the situation and let it develop, you'll be the one who gets hurt the most. It won't affect the Liang siblings at all. Plus, I think that even if you don't respond, they won't stop if they don't get what they want. They'll continue to put up a smokescreen to force you. Instead of being passive, why don't we take the initiative? We can work together and kick them out anytime."
"Mr. Huo isn't dead yet. Don't be so sure," Huo Mien reminded her coldly.
"I know, this has nothing to do with Dad. He won't directly interfere with this yet. He'll just sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. But I'm guessing that Shen Jiani didn't come up with such a brainless plan. It was most likely Huo Yanyan's doing."
Huo Mien fell silent. She thought so too...
When she thought about the unpleasant conversation she had with Huo Yanyan at the hospital during the day, she was the biggest suspect.
Not only would publicizing these scandals bring inconvenience to Huo Mien's life, but it would also use the power of public opinion to force Huo Mien to make a choice.
She could either return to the Huo Family and acknowledge their relationship...
Or she could leave the Huo Family forever and never return.
Originally, she could choose directly, but at this juncture, Huo Zhenghai was sick. If she heartlessly cut ties with him, people would say that she was an ingrate who didn't even care about her own father.
Huo Mien knew that this was a trap. No matter how she walked, it wouldn't be easy.
Not to mention, she was too weak. Compared to Huo Yanyan and the others, she didn't have any connections or resources.
Unless she needed Qin Chu to help her...
But she really didn't want Qin Chu to help her. She thought that she was strong enough and couldn't live under Qin Chu's protection forever.
"Huo Yanyan's actions won't do her any good either. I'm not that weak, and I won't give in easily. It's still too early for her to defeat me so easily. But how can we exchange blows?"
"Not bad, your courage is commendable. You can't be compared to Huo Yanyan. Even if we were to weigh your IQ, you're still three kilograms higher than her. However, I'm afraid this incident will bring you quite a bit of trouble. You'll be living in the eye of the storm just like last time. You're obviously not a public figure, but you'll be treated like one and cursed by the media and netizens. This is unfair to you."
Huo Siqian actually felt sorry for Huo Mien. She hadn't had a good life all these years.
He had always wanted to help her, but she had always rejected him.
Huo Mien laughed. "Fair? How funny was Young Master Huo's words? There's no such thing as fairness in this world. Huo Yanyan is also an illegitimate daughter of the Huo Family, just like me. She was born from a mistress, but she can enjoy everything with a clear conscience. I, on the other hand, have nothing all these years, and I have to be ridiculed and cursed. So … how can there be fairness? "
"If that's the case, then you should take revenge on them. These people are only going to suffer the consequences of their actions."
"I won't take revenge on them, but I will definitely teach Huo Yanyan a lesson. But … I won't work with you. I still stand by what I said, I won't participate in your civil war. Don't even think about trying to rope me in."
"I haven't said anything yet, you don't have to be so nervous, haha …" Huo Siqian laughed. He laughed at how cute Huo Mien could be when she was being silly.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Mian …" His voice was abnormally gentle.
Huo Mien listened in silence …
"Mian, if you can't take it anymore, just come and find me. I will definitely help you. Don't count on Qin Chu. Don't place your hopes on a man who once abandoned you, understand?"
Huo Mien hung up the phone with a 'bang' …
No wonder Qin Chu called him a pervert. It seemed like he was seriously ill.
She really wanted to correct him. Qin Chu never abandoned her. Seven years ago, she was the one who let him go first.
Seven years later, Qin Chu was the one who took the initiative to pursue this relationship. Qin Chu didn't owe her anything.
It was just that there were too many obstacles between them … so it hadn't come to fruition yet.
Late at night, Qin Chu came back from overtime. When he entered the bedroom, Huo Mien was already asleep.
Qin Chu stared at her clean face. Finally, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
Huo Mien rolled over and tightly wrapped her arms around Qin Chu's neck …
