“It’s not that…”
“Then what’s with the face?”
“I…” Huo Yanyan wanted to respond but couldn’t . She felt a complicated surge of emotions .
“What’s wrong?” Shen Mingxi asked worriedly as he looked at Huo Yanyan’s face .
“N-nothing, let’s eat…” Huo Yanyan smiled before lowering her head and going back to her meal .
That evening, after arriving home, Shen Mingxi and his assistant were called back to his family company .
Therefore, Huo Yanyan gave her daughter a bath and tucked her into bed . Tiantian fell asleep quickly, drained from walking around all day .
Huo Yanyan looked at her phone, wondering if she should send Huo Mian a WeChat message . The last time they talked was during Ni Yang’s wedding .
Huo Mian had treated her well . Although Huo Siyi later died in prison, Huo Yanyan decided that she didn’t want to blame it on her . However, now that she was rich again and was dating Shen Mingxi, her heart felt emptier than ever .
She had no friends and no family – her brother died, and her mother had disappeared . Her friends all hid away, afraid that they might be implicated .
Now that she thought of it, Huo Mian was technically the only friend and family she had left .
Huo Yanyan quietly clicked into WeChat and was just about to message Huo Mian when she saw a new friend request . Curiously, she clicked it open to see who it was – the requestor’s name as ‘Xue’
The requestor’s profile picture was a photo of Mo Xue’er .
After a slight moment of hesitation, she accepted the friend request, and before she could ask who it was, ‘Xue’ messaged her .
Xue: “Are you Huo Yanyan?”
Huo Yanyan: “Yes . ”
Xue: “I’m Mo Xue’er . ”
Huo Yanyan: “The celebrity?”
Xue: “Yeah . ”
Huo Yanyan: “Can I help you?”
She knew how arrogant and condescending Mo Xue’er was . A person like her would never add someone for no apparent reason .
Xue: “Would I be messaging you otherwise?”
Huo Yanyan: “So what do you want from me?”
Xue: “Let’s talk face to face . I indeed have something important to talk to you about . ”
Huo Yanyan: “Right now?”
Xue: “Why? Not convenient? You’re worried Shen Mingxi won’t approve?”
Huo Yanyan frowned slightly . “Don’t drag him into this . I’m the only one home and my daughter’s sleeping . I can’t just leave . ”
Xue: “Then I’ll go and find you . I’ll park downstairs and we’ll talk . It’ll be fast . ”
Huo Yanyan: “How about another day? What’s the rush?”
It was obvious that Huo Yanyan didn’t want to meet up with Mo Xue’er . She was a smart girl and knew that Mo Xue’er, like Song Yishi, wasn’t a simple character . So, she didn’t want to be pulled into her mess .
Xue: “What if I said I wanted to talk to you about your revenge plan . Would you be more interested?”
Huo Yanyan: “What are you talking about?”
Xue: “Give me your address . I promise not to take up too much of your time . ”
After hearing the word “revenge”, Huo Yanyan thought for a couple of seconds and sent Mo Xue’er her home address .
Mo Xue’er messaged her again thirty minutes later . “I’m downstairs in the red Porsche, license plate number 2212 . ”
Huo Yanyan: “Okay, I’ll be right down . ”
Then, she threw on a black winter jacket that went down to her ankles and ran downstairs without even changing out of her pajamas, gently closing the door behind her .
As expected, a red Porsche was parked downstairs waiting for her . She checked and the license plate number was indeed 2212 .
Huo Yanyan slowly walked up to the car and Mo Xue’er opened the passenger door .
