Yan Meng turned and went into the office, not wanting to hear Huo Hui's voice again.

Huo Hui had to consider her own face after all. Since Yan Meng refused to see her, she couldn't keep pestering him.

She looked at me pleadingly, and begged me earnestly, "Miss Lan Shan, please persuade him for me. There shouldn't be any overnight hatred between father and son. Let him go back to see his father!"

Before I could answer, Vincent picked up the intercom and said, "Security, come up and take him away!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Hui didn't dare to linger and left in a hurry. Vincent followed her, determined to see her leave the company.

I was stunned and hadn't yet recovered from what Yan Meng had just said.

Yan Meng seemed very confident, saying that Yan Lirong did not have any strange disease. So why did Huo Hui say that?

I was confused and pushed the door open and walked into Yan Meng's office.

Yan Meng was standing at the window looking down at this time, with his back to me and a cold posture.

I frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on? How do you know he's not sick?"

I knew Yan Meng refused to acknowledge Yan Lirong as his father, so I didn't call that man his dad in front of him, so as not to offend Yan Meng.

Yan Meng sneered, turned around, and raised a mocking smile: "Because I know him well enough. If he really was sick, he would never let Huo Hui leave South City!"

I only half understood what he said and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I didn't understand Yan Lirong's real purpose, so I didn't say anything and listened to Yan Meng continue.

Yan Meng walked to the tea table and sat down. While making tea, she said slowly, "Huo Hui is pretending because she knows that no matter where she goes, Yan Lirong will secretly send people to watch her. So she deliberately pretends to be a good stepmother."

I was lost in thought, thinking back to Huo Hui's earnest advice to me. Maybe it was all just her acting!

Yan Meng twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically. "She came to the capital to find me and persuaded me to go back and fulfill my filial duties. This matter will soon reach Yan Lirong's ears. Huo Hui put on such a show just to make Yan Lirong believe that she has no second thoughts about him."

"Of course, on the other hand, you can also disgust me. It would be best if you could make me angry and sever ties with the Yan family." Yan Meng said this calmly, raised his cup and took a sip of tea.

I folded my arms across my chest, leaned against Yan Meng's desk, listened to his explanation, and suddenly I understood a little more.

Huo Hui is only in her early thirties, and Yan Lirong is old enough to be her father.

Yan Lirong always has people keep an eye on her, simply because he doesn't trust her enough and is afraid that when he gets old and sick, Huo Hui will be obsessed with his property.

Although Huo Hui gave Yan Lirong a son, the child was still young after all, only one year old. If Yan Lirong died one day, most of the Yan family would fall into Yan Meng's hands, including the company run by Yan Lirong.

In this case, Huo Hui naturally had to make plans in advance for herself and her son and strive for more.

What she did today was to hope that Yan Meng would be enraged, so that Yan Meng would voluntarily sever his relationship with Yan Lirong and give up the Yan family and inherit the Yan family's property.

My heart suddenly trembled. I didn't expect that there was so much intrigue within the Yan family.

Yan Lirong is so cunning and shrewd that most people can't deal with him.

After understanding Huo Hui's true intention, I felt guilty and apologized to Yan Meng: "I'm sorry, this is originally your family matter. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to bring Huo Hui here and caused you trouble."
