Mona felt like her calves were about to cramp.
Those words were spoken in a fit of anger, without any thought. Thinking about it calmly, even if I wanted to stand up for Yao Manning, I shouldn't have chosen this time…
I wonder how Jiang Can will deal with her?
Should I come up and slap her?
Mona subconsciously looked up and saw that she was standing in the corridor by the door, where there was a surveillance camera not far away.
She was relieved.
If Jiang Can dares to make a move, she will release the surveillance footage, add a few inflammatory words, and incite the fans to attack this bitch!
"What, am I wrong?" Mona reverted to her smug demeanor.
"How do you think the four great families maintained their positions? Of course, it's through intermarriage and exchanging resources!" Mona scoffed. "If Young Master Huo encounters any difficulties in the future, Manning can help him, but you will only hold him back!"
"Miss Jiang, besides relying on men, what else are you good at?"
“Yes,” Jiang Can replied calmly, “I’m relying on Huo Zhixing, so what?”
"Some people want to rely on others, but they can't!"
Mona stared at her, speechless.
Jiang Can casually moved the snake plant on the table a couple of times, smiling gently, her large eyes revealing an unfathomable depth.
“There is indeed nothing behind me, but I have Huo Zhixing, and that’s enough.”
"As for whether or not to get married, do you know what Huo Zhixing said to me?"
She laughed, "Zhixing said that I don't need to marry into the Huo family; it's him who will marry me!"
Mona was so shocked she couldn't utter a single word.
"Miss Mo, I'm so sorry to have troubled you with our marriage arrangements," Jiang Can said calmly. "However, I still hope that you will focus on your work in the future, because even if you wanted to, you wouldn't have the opportunity to concern yourself with my relationship with Zhixing!"
...
When Huo Zhixing got home, he saw Jiang Can sitting on the sofa, holding Fatty Orange in her arms.
He frowned. "How did you put it in here?"
Jiang Can ignored him.
She knew that this man was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't usually like to be near these furry little things.
She has always been careful not to let the fat orange cat into the house.
But today...
On this very day, when Mona looked down on her, she suddenly felt a strong urge to do something contrary to him.
Especially when I think about what Mona said—
Yao Manning has the Yao family behind her, but what does she have behind her?
If Huo Zhixing encounters any difficulties, it will be Yao Manning who can help him, not her!
Jiang Can suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grievance.
Those deep-seated feelings of inferiority were all brought to the surface again.
Huo Zhixing noticed that she looked unwell, so he gently sat down next to her and tentatively put his arm around her shoulder.
"Can Can," the man asked softly, "what's wrong?"
Jiang Can swayed, broke free from his hand, and turned her back.
She ignored him but kept petting the fat orange cat, making the cat squint its eyes and purr contentedly.
Huo Zhixing clearly sensed that something was wrong.
The woman is usually gentle and considerate, and she always speaks her mind to him directly. Why is she throwing a tantrum today?
He held his breath and secretly took out his phone from his pocket to send a message to Lu Lishan.
What are the usual reasons for a wife's temper tantrum? She seems quite impatient.
Five seconds later, Lu Lishan replied: "Pregnant?"
Huo Zhixing was initially delighted, but then denied the claim.
We've been using protection lately, so she can't possibly be pregnant.
Lu Lishan: Then brother, you don't need to investigate the reason. Just kneel down before her.
Huo Zhixing: ...
However, Lu Lishan has experience in this area, so listening to him should be the right thing to do.
So Huo Zhixing took a deep breath, walked around to her, smiled, and then knelt down with a thud!
The chubby orange cat, who was almost asleep, was suddenly startled awake. It jumped off Jiang Can's arms and ran into the yard.
Jiang Can stared at him blankly, "What, what are you doing?"
"It's all my fault, I admit it!" Huo Zhixing licked his lips. "Can Can, if you have a temper, just vent it on me. Don't bottle it up, it'll make you sick!"
Looking at his simple and honest appearance, Jiang Can's eyes were full of her tenderness, and suddenly her nose tingled with emotion.
Even the worst temper tantrums vanish at this moment.
"What did you do wrong? Get up!"
“Can Can…” Huo Zhixing took the opportunity to hold her small hand.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but not wanting him to see her pathetic state, she quickly turned her face away.
Huo Zhixing wanted to hug her again.
Embarrassed, she pushed him away and ran into the yard with her head down.
...
Outside the Xi Garden, the black Maybach found another secluded spot to park.
But from this angle, you can clearly see everything that happens in Xiyuan.
The moment Jiang Can ran out, Yin Ruohong tensed up instantly, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Silly child, it's chilly outside, what is she doing running into the yard?"
Yin Ruohong stared intently at that spot, her eyes filled with worry.
"Did they have a fight?" he muttered to himself. "That little bastard, is he bullying my daughter?!"
The silver needle was already in his hand, ready to be used.
Old Chen rested his elbows on the steering wheel and covered his face.
"President, please calm down! I don't think Young Master Huo would bully our Can Can! It's possible they were arguing though..."
"What?"
“It’s that Miss Yao,” Old Chen explained. “I’ve heard that the Yao family has always wanted to marry Miss Yao to Young Master Huo in order to consolidate their position in Yangcheng.”
"So this Yao Manning has always been dishonest?" Yin Ruohong raised an eyebrow.
Old Chen nodded.
"Ha," Yin Ruohong sneered, "It seems the first people I need to see are the Yao couple! When I meet them, I'll have to have a good discussion about how to discipline the children!"
...
"Can Can!" Huo Zhixing chased after her.
Jiang Can stood under the plane tree at the entrance of the courtyard, her feet crunching on the fallen leaves.
The man hugged her from behind.
She struggled for a moment, but finally leaned softly into his arms, stubbornly wiping away her tears.
"It's because of Yao Manning again, isn't it?" Huo Zhixing's low, husky voice was full of doting affection.
"Fool, is it worth getting upset over someone so insignificant?"
"She's not someone insignificant! She almost became your fiancée!"
Oh, so she's jealous again. Huo Zhixing secretly chuckled and hugged her even tighter.
"She's the daughter of the Yao family; she has her family backing her up, she has connections..."
"If you encounter difficulties, she can help you."
Huo Zhixing smiled. "Just for this?"
Jiang Can looked up at him, her eyes red-rimmed, her frail appearance pitiful to behold.
Huo Zhixing's heart melted.
“Okay.” He put his hand on her shoulder, looking intently at her, and said slowly and deliberately, “Can Can, there are some things…”
"It's time for you to know!"
