Chapter 1414 - I Do Enjoy Hitting Someone When They’re Down (5)
“President Huo, you’re too kind.” Huo Mian’s tone was distant.
There was a time when her relationship with Huo Siqian was less tense. Once upon a time, Huo Mian actually thought that Huo Siqian was a good person.
With the passing of time, she saw that he was a schemer who never let others know what was going on in his head.
He was also someone who was capable of doing anything.
When Huo Mian suspected that he had a hand in Jiang Linyue’s murder and after Song Yishi’s message tipped her off, she realized that she and Huo Siqian were on completely different paths and would never mix.
They couldn’t even be friends, because they had different moral standards.
Although Su Yu was arrogant, he still had the correct morals and knew what was appropriate and what wasn’t.
However, there was no right or wrong in Huo Siqian’s dictionary.
Later, when Huo Mian chatted with Qin Chu, they had both suspected that Huo Zhenghai’s death was related to Huo Siqian.
Although they didn’t have concrete proof, Huo Mian always thought that Huo Zhenghai shouldn’t have died so soon.
Huo Siqian had kept him under his nose for so long, and nobody knew what he said or did to Huo Zhenghai.
Every member of the Huo Family was kicked out of Huo Corporation. No one, not even Huo Yanyan, Huo Zhenghai’s biological daughter, got a single cent.
Huo Mian thought that Huo Siqian’s methods were way too harsh and merciless…
He didn’t leave breathing room for others, much less a way out…
Although he was successful, people like him had no real friends, because he could never place his trust in others…
“Mian, you seem to dislike me these days.” Huo Siqian took a step closer to Huo Mian, while the latter took a few steps back and replied, “No, you’re thinking too much into it.”
“Really?” Amused, Huo Siqian teased her, and Huo Mian sneered, “I’ve never liked you, so I can’t dislike you, haha…”
“You’re still so clever and savage… But I still like you so much, what should I do?”
The corners of Huo Siqian’s mouth bent up into an evil smile…
He couldn’t wait to make Qin Chu disappear. In his opinion, the Qin Chu-less Huo Mian might be the most whole Huo Mian…
“I can’t deal with your affection, President Huo. Talk to your own kind… We’re not meant to be friends. Thank you for coming to the product launch, if you’re placing an order, I’ll give you ten percent off. Have a good day.”
After speaking, Huo Mian turned around and went into the hotel…
Huo Siqian licked his lips and climbed onto the car.
On the shotgun seat, Mo Xue’er’s face was filled with disdain. “What’s so great about her? She didn’t design the products herself, it’s the designer’s work. She’s making it seem like she did everything. Even an idiot can put together a launch like this, and she was just there to show her face.”
“Trash talking somebody behind their back after the fact is really low,” Huo Siqian tilted his head, glaring at Mo Xue’er as he commented icily.
“I…” She knew that Huo Siqian didn’t like it when she slandered Huo Mian.
She just wanted to say that he shouldn’t act like Huo Mian was the only one that mattered…
It didn’t please her at all…
When Huo Mian went back to the hotel, the guests were almost gone.
Bella approached her and gave her a scarf that matched her poncho.
“Thank you.”
“Young Madam, I’ll drive you home.”
“No, it’s late. You should go home and get some rest. Thanks for everything, Bella.”
“It’s okay, it’s my duty.”
“Then go to sleep early. See you tomorrow.”
“Young Madam…”
“Yes?” Huo Mian turned her head around.
“Actually… I have something that I don’t know if I should tell you…” Bella was a little hesitant.
“Tell me.” Seeing Bella stutter, Huo Mian turned around completely and faced her.
