Chapter 358: Analyzing the Situation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to plot against Si Huan, He Yu had planned the kidnapping case against Mrs. Hill behind the scenes in the past.
He thought that this matter had ended after Huo Tian’s revenge. However, after the banquet ended and the guests were about to leave, He Yu met Xi Cheng’s gaze.
He could sense a trace of coldness and killing intent from his calm expression. He Yu’s heart sank as he realized that things hadn’t ended as smoothly as he had imagined.
He Yu wanted to vent the frustration and uneasiness in his heart and confirm that he was strong enough to go against Xi Cheng. Therefore, he urgently needed to find confidence from the person he could control. Who else could that person be other than his fiancée, Huo You?
Huo You seemed to be able to see the nervousness and uneasiness in He Yu’s heart. She was like a boneless demoness, leaning softly in He Yu’s embrace. Her soft hands drew circles on his chest, and her voice was as seductive as a siren.
“Don’t worry, my dear fiancé. Even if the Hill Family is a world-class wealthy family, their influence in China is inferior to the Huo Family and the He Family. The Hill Family can’t deal with two top families in $ City at once. Therefore, before the Huo Family completely falls, you’ll be safe.”
Huo You could feel that as she consoled him more and more, He Yu’s grip on her arm tightened, almost hurting her bones.
Huo You could sense He Yu’s uneasiness from his strength, so she didn’t raise any objections. She only remained silent, giving He Yu time to think.
After a long while, He Yu seemed to have digested what Huo You had said to him. He asked in a low voice, “This is just your guess, right? Is there any evidence to prove it?”
“Is it enough with my understanding of Ding Rong?” Huo You’s voice was calm as she analyzed the adoptive mother she had lived with for 18 years.
“She’s a woman who values intrinsic qualities and morality a lot. She won’t allow her husband and child to do anything harmful to others unless they have hurt the person she truly cares about. Therefore, if Mr. Hill wants to deal with the Huo Family, I don’t think Ding Rong will stop him. However, if Xi
Cheng wants to deal with you and the He Family, Ding Rong will get to the bottom of things.”
He Yu’s fingers ran through Huo You’s long hair as he said in a self-deprecating voice, “If Mrs. Hill knew what I had done to her, do you think she would tell Mr. Hill to let me go?”
Huo You leaned on He Yu’s chest, not allowing him to see her expression. Her eyes were cold and calculating, but her tone was gentle and comforting.
“First of all, according to my understanding of that family, they won’t tell Ding Rong about this because they don’t have concrete evidence. Moreover, even if Ding Rong knows that you planned the kidnapping case, she won’t let Mr. Hill continue to pursue the matter after finding out that you were almost
killed by Huo Tian. Coupled with my relationship with you, I think that even if you will be given some trouble by Mr. Hill in the future, it won’t hurt you. At least, your ending will be much better than that couple from the Huo Family.”
He Yu mulled over Huo You’s words for a moment. He had to admit that these words made him feel a little more at ease.
At the same time, these words made He Yu realize that Huo You was no longer a dispensable political marriage partner that the Huo Family had pushed out. She had become an important bargaining chip that he had to firmly grasp.
Only then did He Yu realize how wise it was for Huo You to get involved with Ding Rong in front of everyone at the banquet.
For Huo You, this was a good thing that killed three birds with one stone. Firstly, she had greatly improved her status in $ City’s high society. Secondly, she had forcefully taken an entertainment company from her parents, who had given up on her. Lastly, Huo You had increased her value and dominance
in this political marriage relationship.
There was a period of time a while back when He Yu had felt that the intelligence and outlook Huo You had displayed when they first met had disappeared. She had become a shortsighted, narrow-minded, and vulgar woman.
However, He Yu suddenly realized that Huo You was still the woman who could sharply grasp opportunities and achieve her goals. It was just that when facing Huo Tian, she often let anger and hatred blind her rationality. That was why she always did stupid things.
