Ah-Cheng wouldn’t seek her out for no reason, so he must have gotten the order from Huo Siqian.
Seeing Ah-Cheng’s attitude towards her, she knew that Huo Siqian thought she was a traitor.
In fact, Zhang Manlin had not done anything traitorous.
It was a complete accident that she had been robbed and kidnapped in the mountains while on the road. Otherwise, she really would have adhered to Huo Siqian’s request and brought the children to Qinghe Town.
At that time, because she had already become a wanted criminal, she found herself stuck.
However, somewhere along the way, she inexplicably became Qin Chu’s hero.
The twins changed their attitudes towards her, and she also smoothly entered GK.
Originally, this was a good thing, and she should have been pleased. However, in her heart, she always felt faintly uneasy.
Just like today, Ah-Cheng almost killed her, but Qin Chu’s people arrived just in time, looking as though they were concerned about her. But, was it really true?
She worked as Huo Siqian’s pawn for five years, and she was very familiar with his tactics. If Huo Siqian really thought she deliberately betrayed him, then she was in grave danger!
So Zhang Manlin was now faced with two choices.
The first was to go back to Huo Siqian, clearly explain herself, continue to be his snitch, and then help him complete his master plan – waiting for him to take Huo Mian away so that she could get Qin Chu all for herself.
The second was to look for Qin Chu and lay all of her cards out on the table, explain everything, seek protection, and thoroughly define her boundaries with Huo Siqian.
However, neither Qin Chu nor Huo Siqian were masters that were easy to serve.
For the first time in her life, Zhang Manlin had fallen into a deep dilemma…
6 o’clock in the morning, Huo Family Mansion –
Huo Siqian went downstairs on time, wearing a pink shirt and black trousers, both of which had not been worn for a long time.
He bore an extremely sullen expression on his face.
The leather-banded watch on his wrist was a limited edition Patek Philippe, which gave off an aura of privilege and luxury.
“Good morning, Boss.”
Ah-Cheng stood opposite from Huo Siqian.
“Cheng, please sit. Let’s eat a little something together.”
“Boss, I have something to report. ”
“No rush, let’s eat first.” Huo Siqian’s expression was very calm.
Ah-Cheng did not dare to say anymore. He just sat across from Huo Siqian, looking at the rich breakfast on the table, and not daring to move.
“Come on, why don’t you try this and see if it’s good?”
Huo Siqian pushed a bowl of yellow sticky porridge over to Cheng.
Ah-Cheng took a small spoon and ate it slowly.
“When I was very young, I was sent to the Huo Family by my biological parents. My foster mother was a temperamental woman… Because she had never been loved her entire life, she dumped all of her hostility on me and did all she could to mistreat me. I remember once, I was locked in the warehouse for two days and two nights. I was starving. After she let me out, I was given a bowl of porridge. Since I was so hungry, I gobbled it down, only to discover that the porridge was scalding hot. It was a special kind of rice, called yellow rice. It keeps a very high temperature. Even if it is soaked in cold water, the surface will be lukewarm, but once it reaches the stomach it will be very hot. That time, I seriously burned my esophagus, and my foster mother watched me coldly as I rolled around on the ground screaming. She derived great pleasure from my pained expression.”
Ah-Cheng didn’t understand why his boss decided to share this with him just then. He suddenly felt that the boss had a very unfortunate childhood.
Then he ground his teeth and said, “Boss, I can kill your foster mother for you.”
“No, I don’t want to talk about these things. What I want to say is that I have suffered so much, but I have not died… I am still alive. I know that God let me live and has made other plans for me. Then one day, I met my Mian….” When he mentioned Huo Mian, Huo Siqian’s lips formed the warmest of smiles.
Even people who were around him all the time had rarely seen him smile with such warmth…
