Huo Yanting's disdainful words truly hurt Su Miao's pride.
She doesn't have a diploma, and she didn't even finish college, but just because she's high and mighty doesn't mean she can look down on others.
If it weren't for people like them from the lower classes, would he have been so great in comparison?
Did he really have to say such hurtful things?
Su Miao pursed her lips. Although she knew she had no right to argue with him, she couldn't help but retort, "Can you stop looking down on me like that? Why can't I find a job?"
"There are plenty of uneducated people out there, and they're doing just fine. Can you stop judging others with your narrow-minded perspective?"
After Su Miao finished speaking, her gaze met Huo Yanting's dark eyes, which radiated a dangerous light, and her heart skipped a beat.
Regardless, this man still possessed that imposing aura, and she was instinctively afraid. But the words had already been spoken, like water spilled, impossible to take back.
The restaurant was silent. Su Miao, Huo Yanting, and even Liu Ma did not speak; only the faint breathing of the other person could be heard.
This was the first time Huo Yanting had been taught a lesson by a woman; it was truly a novel experience.
Did he look down on her? He was just stating the facts.
The man narrowed his dark eyes slightly, his sharp gaze falling on Su Miao as if he were slowly torturing her. "Look down on me? Then you'd better have the ability to command respect!"
"Someone who didn't finish college, was slandered, and chose to cower in fear—what right do you think you have to be respected?"
Huo Yanting's tone was somewhat harsh, and his gaze towards Su Miao was deep and unwavering, his eyes devoid of any expression, leaving one wondering what he was thinking.
However, the fact that her personal dignity had been insulted by a man in this way, without any room for rebuttal, left Su Miao stunned for a long time, and then her eyes reddened slightly.
Yes, she may not be able to finish college, and she may not have the qualifications to be respected, but who said she was a coward?
She won't do that! She will definitely make those who framed her pay the price!
However, for a man to say such hurtful things is truly devastating.
Su Miao lost her appetite and simply threw down her chopsticks and ran out.
Liu Ma witnessed the whole process and also felt that Huo Yanting's words were a bit too much, because not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth like him. Life is always full of helplessness, so who can criticize someone else's life?
Finally, regarding the unpleasant ending, Aunt Liu sighed, "Sir, Madam is, after all, a young woman. Your words were perhaps a bit too harsh."
Huo Yanting looked up, glanced at Liu Ma, and frowned as he asked, "Is it heavier?"
It seemed so; he could tell she was almost crying.
“Of course, we don’t know what Madam went through before, but it’s clear that she’s a good girl, and you should also…” What Aunt Liu meant was that Huo Yanting shouldn’t have treated Su Miao like that.
She could tell that the couple's relationship wasn't harmonious, unlike the affectionate relationship of ordinary couples, so their feelings needed to be cultivated slowly. But Huo Yanting's way of treating girls was just too...
Aunt Liu was very curious about how the two of them got together.
Now that you're married, you should act like a married couple. This constant coldness isn't a good look.
After hearing what Liu Ma said, Huo Yanting remained silent for a long time before finally standing up, turning around and leaving. But before leaving, he still made sure to say, "Take her to the mall tomorrow to pick out some clothes that suit her and get her some things she needs."
