Huo Residence

"Huo Momo, our Huo family has really given you too much face." Huo Qi threw the photo directly at Huo Momo's face. "So you knew all along that you weren't the Huo family's biological daughter, yet you've been usurping their place all this time."

Huo Momo was filled with disbelief. After seeing the contents of the photo, she collapsed to the ground, "I... I was forced..."

"Yes, they forced me to do it!" Huo Momo raised her head in alarm. "Brother, they went too far. They demanded money from me and threatened me if I didn't give it to them."

Huo Qi seemed to find this amusing, "Threats? What do they have to threaten you with?"

"Are you being threatened with the fact that you're not the Huo family's biological daughter?"

"And then, even though you know you're not the Huo family's biological daughter, and that your real biological daughter was sold to a remote mountain village by your parents, you continue to pretend you know nothing!"

Huo Qi originally didn't want to get involved in Huo Momo's messy affairs. Firstly, he had never liked her since childhood, and secondly, he didn't want to upset his mother.

At the Huo family banquet last time, Lin Ruanruan told him that Huo Momo was the one who framed Huo Xian, but he didn't believe it at first.

But for some reason, he felt that Lin Ruanruan was not lying. However, he was shocked by what he found out when he investigated.

Huo Momo has done a lot of things in private. He still doesn't know how Huo Momo got the banned drugs or how she arranged for a man to be in Huo Xian's lounge.

They told everyone to hold back for now, but then yesterday she went to find her biological parents herself. Following the trail, Huo Qi's people checked the surveillance footage from their neighborhood.

Two years ago, Huo Momo was already going to meet her biological parents, and since then her methods have become increasingly despicable.

Only then did they realize that the drug Huo Momo gave Huo Xian was given to her by her kind parents, and that they had also arranged for the person to be her eldest son.

"You've really got a good plan..." Huo Qi slapped her across the face. "Tell me, who's in charge of you all!"

Who exactly is behind this, trying to make things difficult for the Huo family?

Huo Momo was stunned by the slap. "What instructions? I don't know... I'm just afraid that the fact that I'm not the Huo family's biological daughter will be exposed."

Once exposed, she'd lose everything. That's why she listened to her biological parents so much and obeyed their orders to frame Huo Xian.

Huo Qi thought of something, "That accidental injury was also caused by your parents, wasn't it?"

Huo Momo's pupils contracted upon hearing this. Huo Qi's face darkened; as expected.

"Actually, you know that it was your parents who wanted to kill my mother, and it was you who cooperated by taking my mother to that studio."

"Unexpectedly, at the last moment, you slipped and ended up taking a knife for my mom..."

Seeing Huo Momo's increasingly strange expression, Huo Qi thought to himself that he had guessed correctly, and continued, "The bodyguards arrived too quickly, and the other party failed. In the end, they even produced a mental diagnosis report that they had prepared in advance, making it impossible for the police to convict them."

"As a result, it was revealed that you are not a daughter of the Huo family."

Huo Momo covered her face and cried on the ground. She was still just a girl who hadn't even reached adulthood yet. "I... I didn't know. I didn't know they were going to hurt my mother!"

"They only told me to take my mother to that studio. I didn't know they were going to kill her..."

A loud bang came from outside the door. Huo Qi hurriedly told the bodyguard to open the door. Outside the door was Huo's mother, her face pale, and broken vases were scattered all over the floor.

"mom!"

Huo's mother collapsed to the ground.

...

When Lin Ruanruan woke up, she saw that Huo Xian had sent her several voice messages. Curious, Lin Ruanruan clicked on them, and Huo Xian's panicked crying came through the receiver.

Lin Ruanruan then learned that Huo's mother had suffered a heart attack the night before.

"How could that be?" Lin Ruanruan murmured. She was a little worried. In the original work, although Huo's mother didn't have many scenes, she was always in good health.

She immediately called Huo Xian, and could tell from his voice that he hadn't slept all night; it was hoarse. After making arrangements with Huo Xian and telling Lin's mother, she went out.

Looking at Lin Ruanruan rushing around in a puzzled manner, Lin's mother asked, "Is something urgent?"

In response, Lin Ruanruan closed the door.

Lin's mother: The child has grown up.

Lin Ruanruan tried calling Huo Qi on the way, but his phone was switched off. Lin Ruanruan was worried; could something have happened to Brother Huo too?

She bought fruit and breakfast and went to the VIP ward, 'knock knock knock'.

"Come in," Huo Xian's hoarse voice rang out.

Lin Ruanruan opened the door and went in, only to see that Huo's mother was covered in medical instruments.

Huo Xian had dark circles under her eyes and her eye sockets were red. When she saw Lin Ruanruan arrive, she couldn't even manage a smile. "You're here."

Lin Ruanruan tiptoed over and handed the soy milk with a straw to Huo Xian, who took it. Only then did Lin Ruanruan realize how terribly cold Huo Xian's hands were.

She quickly looked at Huo Qi, who was sitting to the side with his head down. Huo Qi's eyes were bloodshot and he was staring blankly at the numbers on the instrument.

Uncle Huo sat silently on the other side; the atmosphere between the father and son was clearly tense.

Lin Ruanruan felt that Huo Qi's spirits were on the edge of their seats, so she moved next to him and poured him a cup of soy milk.

Huo Qi didn't react for a while. Lin Ruanruan grabbed his hand and put the soy milk in it for him. Huo Qi's hands were so cold. With the whole family so silent, she didn't dare ask Auntie what was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, she mustered up her courage and got Uncle Huo a cup of soy milk. "Uncle Huo, you should eat something too, otherwise Aunt Yan will be very worried when she wakes up," Lin Ruanruan whispered.
