Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Country Sign_1
Yuan Xueshan looked at her strangely, making Huo Jinlan feel inexplicably guilty. Damn it! This day was not going well at all.
Huo Linong had drastically turned his face against her.
Now even Yuan Xueshan was playing her games.
“I am not your most important mother, nor am I your only mother.”
Huo Jinlan’s heart lurched, now knowing Yuan Xueshan had overheard last night’s phone call!
“Mom, let me explain, it’s not what you think… really… I was worried because you didn’t come home, I… ”
“Don’t speak!” Yuan Xueshan stood up from the floor, “I always treated you as my own daughter, even hoping that you could be my daughter-in-law.”
“Mom, can you forgive me once? I beg you.” Huo Jinlan, crying and kneeling on the ground trying to grab Yuan Xueshan’s legs, was avoided by her.
Huo Jinlan missed and lay sprawled on the ground, her deep-seated resentment surging in her eyes as she bent her head down. Her fair little face was distorted and crazed, the person was on the verge of an emotional breakdown from the continuous blows.
Yuan Xueshan went back to her room in a daze, leaving Huo Jinlan in the living room, sprawled on the ground with hair disheveled, her sharp manicured nails randomly clawing at the floor.
“I can’t accept this, why should I?” she muttered through gritted teeth, a fierce glare in her eyes.
She was too kind! While not causing harm to others, she was schemed against by Jiang Nanfei!
Surely she was the one pulling the strings.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t her parents believe her?
Who would have thought! This bitch, she was really cunning. Probably her previous silly and ignorant responses were meant to confuse her, covertly trying to get close to her.
The Provincial City, He Family’s Villa
Jing Tong was sipping her afternoon tea. After the embarrassing incident at the state guest restaurant, she hadn’t stepped out of the house again. She stayed at home all day, waiting for the storm to pass before venturing out again.
Little Tao was attentively serving her, bringing her tea and fruits from time to time. Ever since she was kicked by He Shasha a few days ago, Little Tao had become Jing Tong’s new favourite.
“Madam, I heard that Xinyuan Garments has launched new products, why didn’t you go to buy it?” Little Tao’s eyes were spinning quickly, her face full of eagerness.
Jing Tong looked disgusted, “Tsk! A country brand, even with new products, can’t make it big.”
“You’re right, Madam! How could a brand like that possibly match your status.” If Madam didn’t like it, oh, how she would love it! Even if she had one piece, she would be over the moon.
“By the way, where’s Miss? Why haven’t I seen her these days?” Over the years, Jing Tong had developed the habit of always keeping a close eye on He Shasha. This girl was also close to her, and had long been coaxed by her.
Who knows what’s wrong with her these days, she’s been avoiding me.
“Hehe…” A trace of sarcasm surfaced on Little Tao’s tender and alluring face. “Probably out messing around!” The reason she had become the number one favorite was because she was good at guessing what others were thinking.
She had noticed early on that the Madam, while being good to Miss on the surface, actually wished for her to drop dead as soon as possible.
“Isn’t Miss always going out to play with a bunch of friends lately? I think Sir is already displeased with her.”
Jing Tong was pleased at heart but scolded on the surface, “Don’t talk nonsense. As a servant, you should advise her if you see Miss doing something wrong in the future.”
“Don’t worry, Madam, I will certainly do so.”
The two of them were chatting when the phone on the tea table rang. Jing Tong casually picked it up to answer. The voice of He Rongxi came from the receiver.
“Darling, will you be home for dinner tonight?”
“Still talking about dinner!” He Rongxi said in an annoyed tone. “Your daughter has done something to provoke Huo Linong. He wants us to send someone over to pick her up tomorrow.”
