Huo Huanyu never expected that Ping Hongxi would use this to threaten him, her real purpose being to marry him.

He asked, "Are you crazy?"

He then truthfully recounted his situation within the Huo family.

"Because of Huo Xingchen's matter and the biological weapons issue, I am now being targeted by the Huo family's higher-ups, and I have almost no hope of competing for the position of heir."

"You might get kicked out of the Huo family one day. Are you sure you want to marry me?"

He said that only to make Ping Hongxi give up.

Ping Hongxi had been paying attention to Huo Huanyu and knew that what he said was true.

However, she herself also found herself in a predicament. After she first showed her talent in the first district, many people pursued her.

But ever since Qingyou ruined his reputation, all those people have disappeared.

Even when she took the initiative to contact them, they either made excuses or didn't answer her calls.

As long as her reputation remains unchanged, there is absolutely no way she can marry into a wealthy family with a higher threshold than the Huo family.

She thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I've decided on you, and I'm going to marry you."

Don't think she doesn't know that Huo Huanyu's biological mother is the true love of the Huo family head. Although the Huo family's higher-ups are indeed targeting him now, as long as the Huo family head is around, it's impossible for them to kick him out.

The disgust in Huo Huanyu's eyes deepened. "You're hopeless."

Ping Hongxi didn't care about his attitude anymore; as long as she could hold onto him, that was enough. "I just love you too much."

Huo Huanyu gave a cold laugh and remained silent.

Ping Hongxi thought for a moment, then pulled him aside and talked about the biological combat suit.

Huo Huanyu had recently heard that the Yan family seemed to be preparing something, but he never expected that they were developing biological combat suits.

"Doesn't it require mutated ore?"

Ping Hongxi had mentioned the biological combat suit to him before, but since there were no materials to make it happen, it was put on hold for the time being.

Ping Hongxi truthfully stated, "I have found a material to replace the mutated ore, but it cannot be mass-produced for the time being."

"If it succeeds, and we bring out the biological combat suits when the next beast tide comes, I believe the military will also take out the mutated ore donated by Qingyou and start mass production."

Upon hearing this, Huo Huanyu had an idea. "Was the biological combat suit your own idea, or was it another of Qingyou's ideas?"

Ping Hongxi was furious that no one believed her. "Of course it was my own idea!"

"If Qingyou can make biological combat suits, she already has the mutant ore, so why hasn't she done it yet?"

Huo Huanyu thought about it and agreed, "Then good luck."

Ping Hongxi threw out bait, "Does your Huo family want to join in?"

The Yan family's funds are already severely depleted, but she and the Yan family's weapons experts have encountered a bottleneck in their experiments, so they have to keep consuming the skins of mutated creatures to keep trying.

In her previous life, Qingyou used a bio-combat suit made from mutated ore. As the other party's assistant, she knew the entire process.

But now that it's made of the skin of a mutated creature, she and the experts from the Yan family have to overcome two major challenges themselves, which is why they're either stuck or making slow progress.

If we can get the Huo family on board, we can acquire more mercenary groups to search for those mutated creatures.

She added, "Your Huo family's medicines haven't been selling well lately, suppressed by Huo Xingchen. The best way to turn things around is to cooperate with the Yan family again."

Huo Huanyu thought for a moment and asked, "How confident are you that you can manufacture it?"

Ping Hongxi replied, "Now, as long as we have more materials, I am 100% confident that we can succeed."

"Otherwise, do you think the higher-ups in the Yan family are fools? Would they use their family's resources to continue throwing money away with me?"

Huo Huanyu pondered for a moment and felt that Ping Hongxi's words made sense. "After I go back today, I will ask the higher-ups in the family and then give you an answer."

Ping Hongxi didn't want to push people too hard, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

After they finished talking, they parted ways.

They each wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Qingyou alone.

However, Huo Huanyu didn't find an opportunity, but Ping Hongxi did.

Before the auction, Qingyou went to the restroom, and Ping Hongxi followed her in.

Ping Hongxi looked at Qingyou, who was washing her hands, and said, "Qingyou, it's been a long time."

Qingyou took out a tissue to wipe her hands and turned to leave.

Seeing that Qingyou was ignoring her, Ping Hongxi was furious. "Qingyou, you're so smug right now, aren't you?"

Qingyou then glanced at Ping Hongxi and said, "Whether I'm smug or not, what's it to you?"

"If you feel envious, jealous, or resentful, that's your business."

She looked at me like I was something dirty, and added, "I feel disgusted just looking at you, so you'd better stay away from me."

Ping Hongxi is such an ingrate; he's always self-centered and never reflects on himself.

Ping Hongxi was stung by Qingyou's gaze and words, and retorted loudly, "Who wants to envy, be jealous of, or hate you? You overestimate yourself."

Qingyou sneered, "Then why did you come up to me? Are you trying to show off how utterly disgraced you are?"

Ping Hongxi choked: "You!"

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said, "I will prove to everyone that I am no worse than you, and I will even surpass you."

Qingyou scoffed, "With your IQ? You think you're worthy?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't bother to pay any more attention to Ping Hongxi and left directly.

Ping Hongxi's face turned red with anger as she watched Qingyou leave.

Qingyou actually humiliated her like that, she's going to make that bitch pay.

Just then, two people came out of the restroom.

She was also a heiress from a wealthy family and had always disliked Ping Hongxi.

Now he looked at her with even more disdain, "Ping Hongxi, people should still have some shame."

"You ungrateful wretch, don't go around disgusting Yu Shen."

One of them even fanned his nose with his hand, "It stinks. We should suggest to the auction house manager that they stop putting in anything that smells disgusting."

Another person laughed and said, "Exactly, the arrival of some trash has unnecessarily lowered the quality of the auction."

This was the first time Ping Hongxi had been so openly disliked and insulted. She couldn't help but walk over quickly and raise her hand to slap the two of them.

However, one of them grabbed her hand and slapped her across the face. "Shameless ingrate, you dare to hit me? Who do you think you are, hmph!"

She's a system-generated superhuman; how could she possibly let Ping Hongxi slap her?

Another person said, "Give her a slap back for me too."

Sure enough, the person next to her slapped Ping Hongxi again, saying, "Now it's perfectly symmetrical!"

"This isn't our fault, it's all your own fault for being a despicable person."

After saying this, the man released Ping Hongxi's wrist and left hand in hand with his friend.

Ping Hongxi was left behind, feeling wronged and unable to hold back her tears.

She never expected that these two bitches would not only humiliate her, but also dare to hit her.

Once she develops the biological combat suit, she will definitely blacklist these two families and make them beg her on their knees.
