Chapter 191: Selling Oneself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The men in black suits were very forceful and stood firmly in front of Huo You, not giving way. Huo You had no choice but to get into the car under their escort, or rather, their control.
Huo You remained silent the entire way. The car drove to a quiet villa district, a place Huo You had never been to before.
The car stopped in front of the single villa on the innermost side. One of the men in a black suit walked Huo You to the door and opened it for her, but he didn’t enter.
Huo You was frightened by this behavior, but under the guard of the man in black suit, she could only move her heavy footsteps and walk into the luxurious living room.
There was no one in the living room of the villa. The sound of the door closing startled Huo You. She waited until her heart rate gradually calmed down before she dared to look around.
The surroundings were empty. There was not much furniture in this luxurious villa. It did not look like someone was living here.
Huo You didn’t understand why He Yu had asked someone to bring her here. Frightening thoughts of murder for money flashed through her mind, making her countenance look even worse.
After an unknown period of time, Huo You heard the sound of a door opening.
She turned to look in the direction of the voice and realized that the person who had come was He Yu, who was in a wheelchair. He Yu controlled the smart wheelchair and came to Huo You’s side. Under his control, the wheelchair agilely circled Huo You.
When He Yu stopped in front of Huo You, Huo You realized that she hadn’t seen him in a long time. He had lost a lot of weight and was wearing a cap. There seemed to be no hair under the cap, and he looked even more malicious and scary than before.
Huo You took a step back, her face pale. She subconsciously wanted to pull away from He Yu. “W-what did you call me here for?”
He Yu looked up at the horrified Huo You and couldn’t help but laugh. After laughing, his expression turned cold again. “Are you afraid of me?”
After not seeing him for a while, Huo You felt that He Yu seemed even more neurotic and crazy than before. She swallowed and suppressed her nervousness. “No, no, I’m just a little surprised. I don’t know why you’re looking for me.”
He Yu looked at Huo You with a faint smile. “Darling, why do you think a man is looking for his lover? No, no, no, I’m a pitiful man. You didn’t acknowledge our relationship. This is just my one-sided wish…”
His gaze became increasingly colder, but the smile on his face grew wider and his entire face became distorted.
Huo You took another few steps back silently and explained forcibly, “There weren’t any romantic feelings between us. I thought we had a tacit understanding…”
“Of course.” He Yu nodded, agreeing with Huo You’s words. However, before she could heave a sigh of relief, he said coldly, “But Miss Huo, do you think I’m a naive boy who would foolishly let you toy around with me? You didn’t admit that you were my girlfriend, but you relied on your relationship with me to get your parents’ attention and to take revenge on Huo Tian. You even wanted to use me to bring down the Si Corporation. Do you think that after being used time and time again, you can push me away with just a light word?”
Huo You pursed her lips and stared at He Yu. “I admit that I made use of you, but it’s not as if I didn’t contribute anything, isn’t that so?”
He Yu sized up Huo You disdainfully and said with a smile, “Are you referring to your body? Miss Huo, you should really understand the current market situation. A young lady with lousy skills like you won’t be able to sell for such a high price.”
Huo You’s expression turned grim as anger burned in her eyes. “He Yu, do you think I’m a prostitute who sells herself?”
He Yu shrugged. “I want to develop a relationship with Miss Huo so that we can get engaged and get married.. It’s you, Miss Huo, who wants to define our relationship as a deal. Miss Huo, the rewards you got from me and the things you gave aren’t considered fair no matter how we look at it, right?”
