Huo You smiled self-deprecatingly. “Yeah, I knew that Mom and Uncle might die. I thought I wouldn’t care. I could have given up on anything to get what I wanted, but why am I still so sad?”
Huo You’s voice became a little choked up as she spoke. Her eyes reddened slightly as she dodged He Yu’s gaze and barely managed to maintain her composure.
“Actually, I used to hate that woman with the surname Ding and her brother very much. They stuck to those principles that were not worth a single cent. You must not know about this, but my mother is actually very beautiful. Even though she’s old, she still has many suitors. But no matter how generous those suitors are, my mother has never thought of remarrying and bringing me along. She’s only a tailor, and altering clothes for others can only earn her three to five yuan. I’ve wanted to live a luxurious life since I was young, but she would never give herself to a rich man for my wishes…”

He Yu listened to her talk about the past and comforted her casually, “You don’t have to worry about the life you led in the past. You’ve returned to the Huo Family now. No matter how extravagant and rich you want to live, the Huo Family will satisfy your wishes, right?”
“Yeah, but I don’t know why. Why is it always impossible for my wishes to be fulfilled? In the past, I thought that it was enough as long as I got material wealth, but now I realize that I’ve actually been keeping the memories of living with my mother. I don’t want my mother to die at all…”
“You’re really still a little girl…” He Yu sighed and patted Huo You’s head.” Unfortunately, it’s too late now. I asked you previously if you could really bear to let the Ding Family’s siblings encounter danger. You didn’t hesitate to give me a definite answer. I didn’t expect you to regret it so much now. ”
“That’s right. In order to return to the Huo Family and have a say in the Huo Family, I didn’t hesitate to use such a cruel plan to kill Mom. However, in the end, I realized that I was a complete joke. No matter what I do, I won’t be able to get the Huo Family’s approval. They will only warn me time and time again not to meddle in the Huo Family’s business.”
“Is that so? It seems like Uncle Huo trusts their son, whom they had brought up since young, more than you, who was brought back midway.”
He Yu’s emotions fluctuated as his tone turned slightly cold.
Huo You sharply noticed the change in his attitude and sneered. She looked at He Yu with a faint smile. “What’s wrong? After hearing that I’m not valued by the Huo Family, I no longer have any value in your eyes, right?”
Of course, He Yu felt that Huo You, who wasn’t valued by her parents, was much less valuable. However, he didn’t want to anger this woman who was on the verge of breaking down.
He comforted her slowly and gently, “How could that be? Even if you can’t get Uncle Huo’s trust and can’t help me with the cooperation between our two families, you have your own capabilities. I still can’t forget how confident and brash you were when you talked about the plan to deal with Si Huan.”
Huo You thought of something and laughed. “You’re right. I have talent that no one in this world can compare to. I’m the legendary child of destiny…”
He Yu felt that Huo You was probably really drunk. He frowned slightly to hide the impatience in his heart and said softly, “You’re drunk. Shall I send you back?”
“No, no, no, I’m not drunk…”
Huo You raised an index finger and shook it. Then, she leaned close to He Yu and whispered in his ear, “Do you know? I have a secret…”
“Alright, alright, alright. You have a secret…” He Yu replied half-heartedly before pulling her out of the bar.
However, Huo You didn’t cooperate at all. She struggled slightly but realized that she couldn’t break free from He Yu’s grip. She said unhappily, “How dare you treat me like this! Be careful, I’ll reveal all your business plans!”
“You know of my business plans too?” He Yu found this a little funny. “I don’t believe that you have such capabilities unless you tell me about them.”
Although she was a little tipsy, Huo You seemed to be able to tell that He Yu was sneering at her. She snorted unhappily and whispered into He Yu’s ear.
He Yu’s brows furrowed tightly as his heart churned. He looked at Huo You doubtfully. “How do you know the Hein Corporation’s next investment direction?”
Huo You looked up proudly. “I told you, I know everything. I know everything about the Huo Family and the Si Family’s development direction, not just the Hein Corporation!”
He Yu suppressed the changing thoughts in his heart and persuaded her gently, “Good girl, can you tell me everything you know?”
