The doctor had debrided and sutured Huo Zizhen’s wound, and it was now stable. Anyway, one of her feet was already crippled, and the other was not complete. To Huo Zizhen, it did not seem to matter anymore.
“Now that the princess has been stepped into the mud, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result.” Huo Zizhen lay on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyes lifeless. She was indeed a far cry from the arrogant daughter of the Huo Family in the past.
“I have nothing to be satisfied with. We have never been happy because you are complacent, nor have we hit you when you are down. You’ve already received the punishment you deserve, and Master Xiao and I don’t have the habit of killing everyone.” Lin Wanli said honestly, “You guys always think that you’re very important to us and have a great influence on us, but that’s not the case.
We just want to live our own lives well. We were forced into this whirlpool. Since we can’t escape, we can only face it head-on.”
“So what do you want to hear from me? Your life should not be decided by us, but by what you want.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Zizhen’s tears could not help but flow out. “When I was young, I was also innocent and kind. Later on, people always called me an illegitimate daughter behind my back. At that time, I did not know what kind of world I was in. I only knew that if I wanted to not be bullied, I could only bully others.”
“I have never received a father’s love. I only have two brothers who compete with me. Yun Shujing often portrayed scenes of us loving each other, making me feel that it was real. In order to maintain this reality, we had no choice but to work together to deal with Huo Jiuxiao, who made us bear the title of illegitimate children. Perhaps we’ve long understood that the fate of the uncles of the previous generation is our own fate. It’s just that no one is willing to admit it.”
“I believe that Huo Jiuxiao won’t kick me when I’m down. This seemingly dangerous person who likes to throw people into the sewers is actually a righteous gentleman. Sometimes, I can’t help but think, if I grew up with Huo Jiuxiao, would I be completely different? Look at Huo Yutan. Huo Jiuxiao is her faith, so she has remained pure and kind until now.”
“It’s just that this is too ridiculous. There’s actually a good person in the Huo Family.” As Huo Zizhen spoke, she wiped away her tears. “I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Sinful people actually dream of a beautiful future because I’ve already tasted the sweetness of being kind. It turns out that when I’m myself and have kindness, I will have fatherly love and protection.”
“But, do I still have to pay it back?”
“If you want to know Huo Jiuxiao’s attitude from me, then he told you from the beginning that from the moment you were kicked out of the Huo Family, your grudges were written off. He doesn’t need you to pay him back. You can come back now because you have your value. He protected you because you achieved our goal. Although I hate you for hurting him, I will never go beyond his thoughts and punish any of you privately because I know he won’t like it.” Lin Wanli said seriously, “Also, how can a person who really wants to pay back not pay back?”
“But Xiao doesn’t need it. Give your true heart to the person you really owe. If you want to hear what I have to say, then this is all I have to say.” After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli turned to leave.
“I’m sorry,” Huo Zizhen said from behind her.
“I’ll pass on these three words.”
No one would dislike Huo Jiuxiao if they were truly honest and kind people. He had always been her pride.
On the way back, Lin Wanli was secretly happy. Fortunately, she bravely spoke up two years ago at the hotel and formed a bond with Huo Jiuxiao. Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine Huo Jiuxiao’s life. Would it be like what she remembered? Would he die together with the Huo Family?
So, when she entered the house and saw Huo Jiuxiao, she smiled.
Huo Jiuxiao frowned and looked at his wife, but he heard her say in her heart,
[It’s just that I’m very happy and happy to see you. I’m also very glad that I followed you to the Huo Family without hesitation because it allowed me to see more clearly what kind of person my husband is.]
Huo Jiuxiao reached out and pulled her into the room. He pressed her against the door and lifted her chin. “What kind of person am I?” He asked.
“I’ve said it before. You deserve everyone’s love and respect.”
At this moment, Huo Jiuxiao pulled her into his arms. He seemed to be trying hard to restrain himself. “Have I ever told you that every time you say sweet nothings to me, it makes me feel desire?”
Lin Wanli met Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze with love and tears. [Do you want to? I want you.]
What responded to her was a passionate and fierce kiss…
On the other side, after Lin Wanli left, Huo Zizhen cried her heart out. After crying, the resentment and injustice in her heart could not be dissipated. At this moment, she understood one thing. The vortex in the Huo Family had to be resolved. Otherwise, her life would never be restarted.
Therefore, she had to get his revenge and settle her feud with Yun Shujing. However, she would not use the same method as before. Huo Zizhen would not be as stupid as before…
“Xing Guan, do you want to marry me?”
“At this moment, why…” Xing Guan did not understand Huo Zizhen’s true intentions.
“If we get married, we can obtain some shares. Not the ones in my father’s hands, but in my mother’s. She promised that if Huo Weichen and I didn’t fight for Huo Chengyuan’s position as the heir, we would get shares as a wedding gift to ensure that we wouldn’t be bullied in the Huo Corporation.”
“Are you sure she’s still willing to give it?” Xing Guan didn’t believe it.
“That’s why we have to negotiate. I’ll let Huo Weichen go and she’ll give me the shares. Then, at the wedding banquet, in front of the whole world, I will give the shares to Huo Jiuxiao. Do you think this is the most ruthless revenge in the world?” Huo Zizhen smiled. She seemed to be seriously planning to snatch the shares from Yun Shujing.
“Of course, I won’t give up these shares for free. I’ll ask my brother to leave Huo Weichen for you to deal with. Is this marriage attractive to you?”
“Alright.” Xing Guan nodded in agreement.
“Then I’ll atone for my sins from today onwards. I’ll go wherever I can. If you think that marrying me is too painful, I can give you your freedom when things are over. I didn’t want to struggle anymore, but Huo Jiuxiao’s side is too attractive. His charisma makes me believe that I might be able to save myself again, even if I might not be able to last until the end.”
“Let’s try it first….”
