Chapter 365: Breaking the Illusion
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
If Huo You was really just an ordinary high school girl, she might believe Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s words and change her attitude towards them, becoming the Huo couple’s caring little girl again. She would let them use her marriage as a tool to get connected to the Hill Family.
At that moment, Huo You even felt thankful, (Thank goodness I had seen through their true colors and won’t be deceived by their loving parents act anymore.)
Huo You lowered her eyes slightly so no one could see the mockery in them. She only said in a nervous and hesitant voice, “If what you say is true, then why didn’t you tell me the truth when I wanted to reject the political marriage with He Yu?”
Her demeanor and tone matched the suspicious reaction of an 18-year-old girl who was agitated. Mr. and Mrs. Huo didn’t sense anything wrong with Huo You’s behavior and thought that she was starting to believe this fabricated reason.
Mrs. Huo heaved a sigh of relief and was prepared to continue trying to convince Huo You.
Hence, Mrs. Huo continued in an even more influential tone, “Youyou, I gave birth to you. Why would I lie to you? If it wasn’t for your reputation, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you marry a man like He Yu no matter what…”
Huo You felt disgusted by Mrs. Huo’s passionate motherly tone. At that moment, she even felt nauseous.
Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Huo You said softly, “Isn’t He Yu very similar to Dad? They have an unquestionable desire to control their careers and families. They are ambitious, ruthless, and unscrupulous. Moreover, they won’t control their tempers and will use violence against the women around
them…”
Huo You’s tone was light, but the content was like sharp thorns that pierced straight into Mrs. Huo’s heart.
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo You in a daze. When the other party slowly raised her head, Mrs. Huo realized that the reason she had lowered her head earlier wasn’t that she was feeling nervous and suspicious, but because she was trying to hide her mocking expression and impertinent gaze.
Huo You smiled mockingly and her gaze landed on the side of Mrs. Huo’s face. When she was slapped, the mark on Mrs. Huo’s face hadn’t been so obvious.
However, after returning to the Huo Family, Mr. Huo only cared about gathering everyone together and discussing how to get Huo You to agree to a political marriage with a member of the Hill Family’s branch family. He didn’t have the time to let Mrs. Huo treat the injury on her face. As time passed, the
marks on her face became increasingly obvious.
Mrs. Huo’s face became swollen and there were even traces of red fingerprints on it. It looked a little scary.
Huo You’s mocking gaze landed on Mrs. Huo’s face. She didn’t show the concern and worry that a daughter should have but only gloated.
Under Huo You’s malicious gaze, Mrs. Huo felt like she had been stripped naked and exposed in front of everyone. Shame and unbearable feelings welled up in her heart.
Mrs. Huo had always been proud of her wonderful marriage and had constantly maintained the arrogance and elegance that the Huo Family’s madam should have at all times. However, now, she had exposed the fact that she wasn’t respected by her husband in front of Huo You and would even
occasionally be a tool for him to vent his emotions.
If Huo You and Mrs. Huo were a pair of intimate mother and daughter, Mrs. Huo wouldn’t be angry about this. However, Huo You was so rebellious and unbridled that there had never been any bit of feelings between mother and daughter between the two of them.
Huo You’s resistance and rebellion against Mrs. Huo had long made Mrs. Huo hate her. And at the banquet today, Huo You publicly displayed her mother and daughter relationship with Ding Rong, then snatched the entertainment company from Mrs. Huo. All these actions made Mrs. Huo hate Huo You
even more.
Even an ordinary person wouldn’t want the person they hated to see their disheveled side, let alone Mrs. Huo, who had stronger self-esteem than ordinary people.
From the first time they met, Mrs. Huo had been high and mighty in front of Huo You, taking the lead and even controlling Huo You’s fate. Dealing with her was as easy as crushing an ant.
Therefore, Mrs. Huo didn’t want Huo You to expose her perfect image as the Huo Family’s madam..
