Huo You didn’t know why she was recalling the scenes from her previous life. Clearly, in the endless torture that followed, her memories back then had become fragmented. Why was she recalling the cold and cruel smile on Huo Feng’s face when he strangled her?
Huo You’s face turned very pale, and her gaze went blank as if she had fallen into a painful memory. If it wasn’t for the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Huo still had a favor to ask of her, they would have interrupted her thoughts impatiently.
After a long while, Mrs. Huo couldn’t help but call out, “Huo You?”
Huo You suddenly shuddered and her eyes became clear again. Her thoughts returned to the present and she heaved a sigh of relief. This wasn’t her previous life anymore. Everything had changed. She wouldn’t fall into the miserable state she had been in in her previous life again.
Huo You’s gaze unintentionally landed on Huo Feng and she froze. The smile on Huo Feng’s face was exactly the same as the smile she saw when he almost strangled her to death in her previous life. So at this age, Huo Feng’s personality had already been dyed with the craziness and paranoia that he had
revealed only after he became an adult in her previous life?
She couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. The courage she had felt when she was tempted by the Huo Real Estate Company’s shares earlier instantly dissipated. Indeed, the real estate industry was a hot topic and the Huo Real Estate Company had great potential, but there was no need to offend Huo
Feng over this. He was a lunatic who couldn’t be treated logically. He didn’t have morals or laws in his heart. If she were to touch his minefield, he would really make her life a living hell.
In just the time to take a few breaths, Huo You had completely lost the courage to go against Huo Feng’s plan.
Perhaps it was because the memories of her near-death experience from her previous life were too unforgettable, but the current Huo You couldn’t put on a proud and disdainful attitude in front of Mr. and Mrs. Huo. She seemed to be in a daze and couldn’t be bothered to put more mental pressure on the
two of them. She said directly, “I’m sorry, even if you hand the entire Huo Corporation to me, I don’t want to follow your wishes. Therefore, I refuse your conditions. I won’t be involved with any man from the Hill Family.”
Previously, Huo You had been silent for so long that Mr. and Mrs. Huo thought that she was tempted by their proposal. She would just put on a show and ask for a few overboard conditions before agreeing to them. They didn’t expect Huo You to reject them so bluntly after thinking about it for a long time.
Mr. Huo’s last hope was like a bubble. After flying for a while, it burst with a ‘plop’. Mr. Huo could not take such a blow. His body swayed slightly and he felt dizzy. He gritted his teeth and forcefully held himself together so he wouldn’t faint.
Mrs. Huo stood up angrily and glared at Huo You with burning eyes. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Huo You, you don’t want Huo Entertainment anymore?”
Huo You glanced at Huo Feng and didn’t see anything valuable from his expression. She could only follow the content of the message he had sent and say dryly to Mrs. Huo, “What should be mine will be mine sooner or later. You only have the management rights of Huo Entertainment and no
decision-making rights. The ownership of this company isn’t up to you to decide, Mother.”
The content of Huo You’s words was enough to anger Mrs. Huo. There was no need to pair with A provocative tone and sarcastic expression to achieve the goal of making Mrs. Huo lose her cool.
Mrs. Huo was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Previously, she had wanted to hide the slap mark on her cheek and had intentionally or unintentionally hid the injured side of her face from everyone’s gazes. Now, she couldn’t care less about her image. Her expression was so distorted that it was
terrifying. Her chest heaved up and down as she rushed towards Huo You without hesitation, raising her hand, wanting to slap Huo You’s face without any thought.
Huo You sat on the sofa. When she saw this scene, she instinctively raised her leg and kicked Mrs. Huo’s abdomen hard. She could exert a lot of force with this action, and Mrs. Huo fell back from her kick.
There was ample space in the Huo Family’s villa’s living room. In order to show that their tastes were different from ordinary civilians, the Huo Family didn’t place a coffee table in the living room. Instead, there was a short table beside each sofa that was used to place teacups. Therefore, Mrs. Huo was
lucky not to have suffered any fatal injuries.
