"No, she's already living a sad life, I don't want to take advantage of it… Plus, she seems to be behaving recently . After what happened to her mom and younger brother, she seems to be keeping her head down . I don't want to bully someone who is almost defeated . "
In the past, Huo Mian may have hated Huo Yanyan, since she found the latter to be stupid and annoying .
However, she no longer had such strong feelings towards her . Sometimes when she saw Yanyan bullied by other girls, she would even lend her a hand .
She wasn't being magnanimous or kind-hearted, it was simply that in the end, their last names were both 'Huo' .
Even though she was not Huo Zhenghai's biological daughter, Huo Mian had known Huo Yanyan from an early age . So even if they had been enemies, there was no need to hold a grudge .
"Alright, fine . You are always so kind…"
Huo Mian didn't answer, but just quietly continued eating…
"The old man reached out to you recently, right?"
"Yes, but I turned him down . "
"Good girl, there's not much time left for him anyway . " Huo Siqian smiled proudly .
"So . . . what about Shen Jiani and Huo Siyi?" Huo Mian was curious .
She heard that after the incident, Huo Zhenghai had placed Shen Jiani on house arrest .
"The two of them ran away . . . "
"Ran away?"
Huo Siqian nodded . "Yes, they fled with Shen Jiani's lover, and they've already left the city . According to reliable sources, they're in Australia now . "
"So . . . what about Huo Yanyan?" Huo Mian was surprised .
"Who cares? Shen Jiani couldn't even take care of herself . But I have to admit that woman's one tough cookie . No matter how hard I pushed her, she didn't take out all her savings . This time, when she fled, she took everything she had left in the safety deposit box at the bank with her, which I think included some money and jewelry, so she definitely did not leave empty-handed . She must have realized that there's not much benefit in staying with the old man any longer than she has already, so it'd be better to just leave . Maybe she will come back after the old man passes away . "
"That means, Huo Yanyan was abandoned…?" Huo Mian felt a pang of pity for her .
Right now, Huo Yanyan had no one at all that cared about her .
Huo Yanyan's mother had run away with her lover and her younger brother while her father found a college girl as his sugar baby . Huo Yanyan could barely stay at her own family mansion .
Because right now, the Huo Family was under the complete control of Jiang Hong and Huo Siqian .
"She hasn't been home in a while . Supposedly she met a guy . A contractor . She's been fooling around with him for a while and has totally given up on herself," said Huo Siqian with disdain .
Huo Mian fell completely silent upon hearing this .
Huo Yanyan used to be the center of the world – she could dance and play the piano, and she wore luxury brand outfits all the time .
She was good looking and used to be a famous socialite in her circle . Now, she had fallen into such an awful situation .
Huo Mian empathized with Huo Yanyan, who loved Shen Mingxi but couldn't be with him . Eventually, in order to avoid Huo Siqian and to leave the Huo Family, she just had to find herself a place to call home .
She might not love that contractor, but at the very least, he was someone she could rely on .
"So… what about her shares of Huo Corporation?"
"Oh, I took them back . At one point, she wanted to try and date the young man from the Shen Family, but she didn't have clothes to wear . So I gave her 500,000 yuan to buy clothing and jewelry, and she gave the shares to me in return . "
Huo Mian was speechless . . .
Did Huo Yanyan really sell her shares for just 500,000? That's really… Huo Mian didn't know what to say .
"Mian, do you pity her?" Huo Siqian moved over and suddenly got right up in Huo Mian's face .
His voice was odd and creepy… His eyes were opaque .
"Why should I? Winner takes all, isn't that the basic rule of survival?" answered Huo Mian after regaining control of her emotions .
After the meal with Huo Mian, Huo Siqian left .
Huo Mian went back to work and didn't give any further thought about Huo Yanyan's situation .
- The Su Mansion -
"Hey, old man, why are you back?" As soon as Su Yu entered the house, he saw Grandpa Su sitting there in the living room, sipping tea .
"You little bastard, come here, I have something to tell you . "
"So which socialite is it this time? Can't you just let me meet them all at the same time… . " Su Yu seemed to know his grandpa very well .
"Kid, Mayor Song has a daughter who is about the same age as you, he called me about it last night . "
"Holy crap… are you talking about Song Yishi?" Su Yu was stomping mad .
