“Pudding, I know you’re doing this for Auntie’s sake and that you really like Auntie, but relationships aren’t that simple . The possibility of looking cute together doesn’t mean that we’ll actually make a good couple . It’s like buying shoes, only your feet know if they’re comfortable… Su Yu may be a good man, but I… Forget it, why am I saying all this to you? I’m going to bed, you should too . ” Qin Ning felt more confused the more she spoke; moreover, she didn’t think she would be able to beat the little devil known as Pudding in a verbal confrontation . Therefore, she ended up chasing the latter out of her room .
Then, she sighed and lied down on her bed . Just as she was about to go to sleep, she received a message on her phone .
It was a money transfer from Tang Chuan in the amount of 9,999 yuan .
Qin Ning immediately refused the transfer and threw aside her phone .
Tang Chuan wanted to quickly become close with Qin Ning, so he used his ultimate weapon – when he didn’t know what to say, he always gave money . This tactic worked on all the women he hit on; even socialites liked money, so of course they would be happy to see free money waiting to be picked up .
After all, who would say ‘no’ to cash?
However, Qin Ning’s instant rejection left him feeling completely defeated .
– The next morning –
Huo Mian dropped by the First Hospital before work .
Huo Yanyan could now walk around and take care of herself . Her doctor told Huo Mian that she would be discharged in three days .
“Yanyan…” Huo Mian walked in with her bag .
“Hey, Mian, you’re here!” Huo Yanyan was happy to see Huo Mian .
“How are you feeling today? Does your rib still hurt?” Huo Mian glanced down at her ribs .
“No, I can take care of myself now, I think I can be discharged today . ” Huo Yanyan seemed to be in a good mood .
“Not today, your doctor told me you have to be here for at least three more days . ”
“Mian, how’s Tiantian? Is she behaving at your place? Did she bully the twins?” Huo Yanyan asked worriedly .
“She’s great… and getting along with the twins just fine, don’t worry . ”
“Good… oh, right, Mian, I know you’re well-connected with the municipal bureau, can you help me see Siyi after I’m discharged?”
Upon hearing Huo Yanyan’s request, Huo Mian’s expression changed slightly .
“It’s difficult, isn’t it… I know Siyi deserves to be locked up, but I still want to just visit him . You know he and my mom are the last living family I have… I can’t contact my mom since she’s in Vietnam, so I want to bring Siyi some stuff in prison… After all, I’m still his sister . ” Huo Yanyan looked down, feeling ashamed .
Huo Mian took a deep breath in and said slowly, “Yanyan, it’s not that I can’t help you see him, but Huo Siyi…”
Then, she paused, unwilling to finish her sentence .
“What happened to Siyi?” Sensing that something was wrong, Huo Yanyan looked up anxiously at Huo Mian .
“You were in recovery, so I didn’t have the heart to tell you… The truth is, Huo Siyi’s already dead,” Huo Mian said, word for word .
As soon as Huo Yanyan heard this, she felt her entire body and head go numb .
“That’s impossible, I don’t believe it, I don’t…” Huo Yanyan muttered to herself .
