Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Held by a Woman
Song Song was pulled outside by Song Xueqin, and she could sense that Ms. Song changed a bit after seeing Qiao Yu’s parents—
"Mom, that time at the hospital, Qiao Yu’s mother spoke to you disrespectfully. Did you have any previous conflicts with her?"
Song Xueqin remained silent, only pulling Song Song along quickly.
Then Song Song asked again, "Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
"..."
Song Xueqin still did not answer.
"Mom, say something! You’re being really scary like this, more terrifying than yelling at me a hundred times!"
"..."
No matter what Song Song said, Song Xueqin didn’t listen to any of it, as if she had shut everything out.
Song Song was at a loss, and could only use her trump card, "Then let’s not count today’s meeting! I can temporarily agree not to divorce him. Let’s just happily decide like this, okay?"
She expected her words to provoke a furious rebuttal, even a scolding, but unexpectedly, there was no response at all.
The two took the subway back to their rented place, with Song Xueqin maintaining her silence the entire way—
It wasn’t until she saw Huo Chen standing outside by the car that her expression showed a hint of change. She walked over with reddened eyes, "...I, I saw him today."
Huo Chen’s face froze for a moment, wanting to reach out and embrace her, but he reconsidered when he saw Song Song.
He smiled and said, "Song Song, go inside first, leave your mother to me."
"...Oh, okay. Uncle Huo, my mom is not in a good mood, she hasn’t spoken to me all the way."
Huo Chen nodded, "I know, don’t worry she’s fine—"
"Alright, Uncle Huo, I’ll go in first."
"Go ahead!"
After Song Song hesitantly left, Huo Chen couldn’t resist pulling the woman into his arms, "Xue Qin, listen to me! Take Song Song and leave here, let’s go to Hong Kong together, just to relax, okay?"
Song Xueqin held tightly to Huo Chen’s coat, as if grasping her last piece of hope, "Go with you to Hong Kong?"
"Yes, come with me! In my world, you’ll be everywhere from now on—"
"I should say, from the first moment I saw you, my world has always been open for you."
"..."
Song Xueqin hadn’t cried for a long time; even though she was tormented by illness, the belief keeping her alive was only Song Song and Qiao Yanjing.
But she and Qiao Yanjing had long walked a path of no return.
And this man had shown unwavering devotion to her from the start; she would be lying if she said she wasn’t moved.
Huo Chen continued to stroke her slender back, "Song Song and that Xiao Jinghuai may find it tough to separate. Once she’s in Hong Kong, they’ll be in a long-distance relationship, and the feelings would naturally fade. By then, it will be easier for you to have them divorced."
"Given the situation now, the more you oppose their relationship, the more they want to be together forever. I am a man, so I understand—"
"Alright, I’ll go to Hong Kong with you."
Huo Chen couldn’t help but tighten his embrace, smiling as if he possessed the whole world.
...
Regarding going to Hong Kong, Song Song opposed it, but Ms. Song said that if she didn’t go, then she would have to divorce Xiao Jinghuai tomorrow.
Helpless, Song Song could only compromise and agree, thinking that she could symbolically stay for a few days and then return.
After the incident in Anhua County, this time when leaving, Song Song dared not to leave without informing him.
So the next day, she went to the Xiao Family. When she arrived at the CEO’s office door, she saw that the office door was ajar, so she walked right in—
As she entered, she saw Xiao Jinghuai being hugged by a woman, and that woman was...
