The dim basement was like a cage, lit only by a dim incandescent lamp. The strong smell of rust mixed with the sour smell of sweat was nauseating.
The dim light concealed Huo Wei's cold and sharp facial features, casting a shadow on his broad back and thin waist, faintly outlining the delicate and angular profile of his face. Only a section of his fair and delicate jawbone could be seen. His temperament was violent and sinister, and his expression was unpredictable.
Huo Wei casually lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the dirty Huo Qingcang curled up on the ground. When he saw his yellow and weathered face, which was full of pungent stench, a trace of disgust flashed in his dark and deep eyes. He raised his chin slightly and spoke in a cold tone.
"My dear, you are wrong."
"I told you I'm different from you. My wife loves me very much. You don't know that she actually dared to kill someone for me today." Whenever Huo Wei thought of the scene of Yuan Jiang tearing someone apart with her bare hands, he couldn't help but curl his lips, excited and satisfied, as if showing off: "My wife is just a weak girl, but she actually dared to kill someone for me. Honey, I'm happy."
"I know that in my wife's heart, I am the most important person."
Huo Qingcang frowned, raised his head stiffly and numbly, his eyes cloudy with hatred: "Really?"
"Huo Wei, are you sure she really loves you? Or is she just trying to deceive you and make you believe her?"
Huo Qingcang challenged sarcastically. He would never believe that anyone would fall in love with Huo Wei!
He firmly believed that Huo Wei was his offspring, and was as perverted and barbaric as he was. He would do anything to get the one he loved, just like how he forced Liu Wanqing to lock her up here!
Liu Wanqing would rather commit suicide than love him in order to escape him, so how could anyone love Huo Wei?!
This is absolutely impossible! What he didn't get, Huo Wei, can't get either!
"Dear, this is all true." Huo Wei didn't get angry, but told him seriously. His sinister and delicate face showed happiness and satisfaction. He said patiently: "My wife loves me very much, and I love her too. I will live happily with her forever. I want to give her the best things in the world."
Huo Qingcang cast his cold gaze on Huo Wei, with disbelief mixed with deep jealousy. His old face was distorted and hideous, and he stood up shakily. At the same time, the rustling sound of iron chains was heard.
"This is impossible! Huo Wei, you are lying to me, right!?"
"You're my child. I know your kind best. How could a woman truly love someone as cruel and ruthless as you, who will do anything to achieve his goals?" Huo Qingcang demanded harshly, each roar becoming more heartbreaking than the last. Madness shone through his cloudy eyes. "I was so mean to that bitch Liu Wanqing, and she treated me like this. How could you possibly be better than me?!"
Huo Wei looked at his crazy appearance and raised the corner of his lips sarcastically: "My wife really loves me."
"Whether you believe it or not, I just want to tell you that I am different from you." Huo Wei thought of Liu Wanqing. His mother was a poor woman who was raped by his father and was locked up in this dark basement for the rest of her life.
What awaits her is only endless darkness and coercion.
