Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Taking advantage but acting innocent, repaying kindness with enmity...
After receiving the news that Huo Junting brought back, Song Xueqin almost exploded with anger. She sat on the sofa, taking deep breaths. "That damned Xiao Jinghuai really said that?"
"He actually dared to detain my—"
"Xueqin, please don’t get angry first, pay attention to your health, we’re not in our twenties anymore, don’t be angry, don’t be angry—"
Huo Chen kept comforting her, sometimes serving tea and sometimes peeling Hawaii Nut shells. In general, he was willing to do anything for her.
"Junting, don’t tell your Aunt Xue about all this in the future, so she doesn’t feel upset. Just say something when it’s resolved. This can’t be rushed..."
Huo Junting nodded and then slightly shifted his gaze to Huohuo, who was sitting idly beside him, and said, "Now there’s something more urgent."
"What is it?"
Huo Chen glanced up, "What could be more urgent than Song Song’s matter?"
Huo Junting paused slightly, "Dad, don’t forget you have a daughter. Do you remember the trouble Huohuo caused before?"
"..."
Huo Huohuo paused with a bag of chips, laughing awkwardly at the three, "I, I’m really good, I didn’t cause any trouble. I haven’t even left through the front door except for buying groceries, really, I’m not lying to you guys!"
Song Xueqin coughed, "I can vouch for this. Recently, Huohuo has been pretty good. At least more well-behaved than my ungrateful daughter."
"Dad, big brother, did you hear that? Don’t wrongly accuse me..."
Huo Huohuo felt incredibly guilty but still tried to maintain her stance. Could it be that Jin Bao Yan...?
It shouldn’t be possible; she remembered that Jin Bao Yan was also someone who separated public from private matters. Even if there was resentment between them, it should remain a personal issue and not affect the Huo Family, right?
Huo Junting hummed softly, "Huohuo, did you forget about that incident from before? You and Jin Bao Yan...?"
"Big brother—"
Huo Huohuo’s face turned as red as fire, "Could he really... shouldn’t be, right?"
"Why not? Jin Bao Yan’s company has already started attacking the Huo Family. Initially, our families had business dealings, but now the Jin Family refuses to supply to the Huo Family and is seeking other sales channels. Isn’t that enough?"
Huo Chen didn’t expect things to be so severe. He also stopped his actions and began to think deeply, "Junting, you should proactively seek out Jin Bao Yan to talk once. As Huohuo’s elder brother, you also have responsibility for the trouble she’s caused."
"Dad, I understand..."
Huo Huohuo tightly clutched the bag of chips. Could Jin Bao Yan really be that ruthless? She was just an eighteen-year-old girl who had wholeheartedly given him her first time and ended up injured all over, with no pity at all—
This thirty-year-old man should be secretly delighted, but instead, he’s being ungrateful and retaliating evil for kindness...
Seeing her brother frowning tightly, Huo Huohuo suddenly felt uncomfortable. From childhood, every time she got into trouble, it was her brother who cleaned up for her.
From breaking a vase at home to being called to school for fighting with classmates.
Although she didn’t admit the incident was troublesome, now that the facts have become this way, she must take on this responsibility!
She has to personally negotiate with Jin Bao Yan!
But before that, she must make a trip to the hospital. If there’s really a little baby, then it’s all over...
Earlier, the phone call was too hurried. She didn’t have time to hear Song Song’s response before she hung up.
At this moment, she secretly glanced at the text message reply on her phone...
[Okay, I’ll contact you after I escape tomorrow. Don’t worry, it’s nothing, it might not be pregnancy.]
