In her previous life, she was the iron-blooded matriarch of the Huo family, dominating Hong Kong Island. Yet, her own children conspired to drug her, leading to a hate-filled death. All because she...
Chapter 235 It's really childish.
No...no.
"Mom, please let me explain. I can explain this. It's not what you think!"
"I didn't mean to hurt her!"
"I didn't mean to, Mom!"
Huo Qibang finally realized what he had done and hurriedly followed Fang Lanxin into the ambulance.
Huo Siya held Fang Lanxin's hand tightly, then suddenly smiled foolishly: "Mom, when you hugged me just now, I felt like I was back in my childhood. You used to hold me like this when I was little, you always carried me wherever you went, afraid that I would fall. But why is everything completely different now? Why don't you love me anymore? Do you also dislike me? Do you also think I'm dirty?"
"no."
Looking at her daughter's face covered in blood and tears, Fang Lanxin felt a pang of sadness. Even though her daughter had killed her with her own hands in the previous life, Fang Lanxin still felt compassion for her daughter now!
She didn't know why she was so weak, but she knew she didn't want her daughter to die.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Fang Lanxin watched as Huo Siya entered the emergency room, then turned around and slapped Huo Qibang, who had rushed over, hard.
"You bastard, how could you hit your own sister so hard!"
Fang Lanxin shouted angrily, and tears fell down her cheeks.
Huo Qibang realized the seriousness of his slap at this moment, and knelt on the ground in front of Fang Lanxin's angry eyes: "Mom, I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean it. I was just too angry. I... I didn't expect my sister to be like this!"
"What's wrong that makes you so angry?"
Fang Lanxin still wants to figure out what exactly happened.
Kenneth Fok knelt on the ground with his hands clenched into fists: "She sold her shares to Fok Chun-hung, and now the company is in its second round of financing. I... Mom, I was really too anxious. I didn't mean to."
So that's why.
Fang Lanxin stared down at her son, her heart filled with coldness. In her previous life, he could order his sister to kill her, his mother, for profit. Now, for the same reason, he almost killed his own sister with his own hands. It turned out that whether in the past or the present, profit was the most important thing in this person's eyes.
Thinking of all this, Fang Lanxin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She took a deep breath and gave a meaningful, cold laugh: "So that's how it is."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I..."
Huo Qibang looked up and met Shang Lanxin's cold and disappointed eyes, and froze on the spot.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the most outstanding child, and everyone who mentioned him was extremely envious. Fang Lanxin had always looked at him with admiration, but this was the first time she had ever been disappointed in him.
"Mom, no!"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. I didn't think that much about it, I just acted impulsively, I..."
Huo Qibang suddenly grabbed Fang Lanxin's hand and shook it, begging for mercy. He was truly afraid at this moment because he saw a resolute look in Fang Lanxin's eyes. He knew that his mother might really not want him anymore.
Fang Lanxin didn't say a word, but forcefully pulled her hand back, turned around and sat down on the chair next to her.
She didn't speak, and Huo Qibang didn't dare to get up either. He just knelt on the ground, and the atmosphere in the entire hospital corridor seemed to freeze, and the air became oppressive.
The only sound was the beeping from inside the emergency room, each beep pounding on Huo Qibang's heart.
Finally, the doctors and nurses came out and pushed Huo Siya out.
"The situation has stabilized now, but the shape cannot be preserved, so I'm afraid a second surgery will be needed."
The doctor looked at Fang Lanxin with a hint of helplessness.
"Um."
Fang Lanxin had already guessed that this might be the outcome. She nodded, glanced at Huo Qibang, and then followed the nurse into the ward.
At this moment, Huo Qibang finally saw the consequences of his actions. With no other choice, he got up and began contacting doctors abroad to perform the surgery again.
After everything was arranged, Huo Qibang returned to the ward and stood at the door, somewhat hesitant to go in.
Inside, Huo Siya had already woken up. She gently touched her nose and muttered, "I'm already so disfigured, why are you still trying to save me? Why don't you just let me die?"
"Mom, I regret it so much. If only I had listened to you from the beginning and not married Chen Hao."
"If that's the case, I'll still be the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Huo family, and no one will laugh at me or look down on me no matter where I go, right?"
Huo Siya lay there quietly, tears silently streaming down her face.
Seeing Huo Siya's pitiful state, Fang Lanxin didn't know what to say, and simply wiped away her tears gently: "There are no ifs."
Yes, there are no "what ifs" in this world. What's done is done, and no matter how hard you try, you can't pretend it never happened.
She took a deep breath, her eyes darting around as she stared at Fang Lanxin, and whispered, "Mom, is it because I didn't listen to you that you're disgusted with me and don't want me as your daughter anymore? Brother, you both think I'm a disgrace, right?"
"Now that I'm disfigured and can't have children, I'm worthless, aren't I? I can no longer bring benefits to the Huo family, can I?" Huo Siya couldn't help but question as she spoke.
Fang Lanxin looked at her and said calmly, "I never intended to use you for a marriage alliance."
What? How is that possible!
Huo Siya's eyes widened: "But you've arranged so many blind dates for me, all with powerful and wealthy families. What else could it be but an arranged marriage?"
"It's about being a good match, and it's about wanting the best for you."
Fang Lanxin spoke the truth.
For families like theirs, marriage should be a matter of caution, and the couple should be well-matched in terms of social standing. Why would they want to find someone from the slums?
She did look for it, but what was the result?
Thinking of this, Fang Lanxin felt a wave of dizziness: "Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough, so you misunderstood that you were one of the bargaining chips I could sell. But in all these years, when have I ever done such a thing? Why won't you even give me the most basic trust? I am your mother, not your enemy, am I?"
She really didn't understand how things had turned out this way.
They were blood relatives and should have been the closest people in the world, so why did they end up like this?
"Ya Ya, if you think that's all you're worth, then you're really naive."
