Ye Xinning arrived at her destination and, after going through a series of procedures, finally met Huo Qijun.
Compared to his usual high spirits and hypocritical demeanor, Huo Qijun looked extremely disheveled and visibly aged.
Ye Xinning looked at the person in front of her and slowly smiled.
Her smile made Huo Qijun, who was sitting opposite her, smile too. "I really didn't expect to meet you here."
Ye Xinning's gaze fell on Huo Qijun. "I never expected that I would meet Chairman Huo under such circumstances. I never thought that Chairman Huo would occupy the position that belonged to me and my father in my family for who knows how many years."
“Your mother and I truly love each other, how come in your mouth it becomes possession?”
Ye Xinning replied as if she had heard a joke, "True love? If you say true love, then I really have to say that Chairman Huo's true love is really cheap."
"Cheap? You think my relationship with your mother isn't love?"
"In my heart, someone like you, who disregards everything and uses only methods, doesn't understand what love is."
Kenneth Fok said calmly, "I know you can't accept this fact, but many things don't cease to exist just because you don't accept them."
Ye Xinning glanced at Huo Qijun, "I really didn't expect that Chairman Huo could be so calm in the face of the upcoming five years in prison. His mouth is still so sharp."
This sentence finally caused Huo Qijun's expression to change.
"So you came all this way alone just to kick someone when they're down?"
"No, no, no, if Chairman Huo says that, you are really thinking too narrowly about me. I came to see Chairman Huo because I naturally have something to say."
What makes you think I'll tell you everything you want to know?
“You will,” Ye Xinning said firmly, “because you know that being stubborn at this time will not do any good.”
Huo Qijun pursed his lips, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"Back then, was my grandfather's death related to you?" Ye Xinning stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
"No."
"The incident where you almost got into a car accident was something you staged yourself, just to frame me?"
"What do you think?" Huo Qijun asked in return.
Ye Xinning understood from this rhetorical question that this was Huo Qijun's way of admitting his guilt: "You really went to great lengths to prevent me from staying in Nancheng and to make me completely break with my mother. Even when I was with Shen Lin later, you sent someone to assassinate me, didn't you?"
“Everyone has the right to choose. I have my own stance, and at that time, you had no choice but to leave.”
I have no choice but to leave...
Ye Xinning stared coldly at Huo Qijun, "What do you mean I have to leave?"
At this point, there's no need for Kenneth Fok to hide anything.
"My original intention was to get you to leave Nancheng. As long as you left Nancheng, I wouldn't hurt you in the slightest. But how could I have imagined that my only brother would fall in love with you?"
"Does Huo Yanzhi's love make you so determined to get rid of me?"
“I understand how useless love is. Once you have love, you will have a weakness. How could my brother, Kenneth Fok, have a weakness?”
Ye Xinning clenched her hands at her sides, so in the end, it all came down to Huo Yanzhi.
She remained silent for a long time before speaking again, asking the last question she wanted to know.
Is Xia He one of yours?
"no."
Huo Yanzhi has already admitted to so many things, there is no need for him to lie about this matter anymore.
Ye Xinning chose to believe him.
She knew everything she wanted to know, and didn't want to say anything more to Huo Qijun. "Everyone has to bear the consequences of their actions. Since you did something, you have to bear the corresponding consequences. Just stay in there for five years. I hope these five years will make you understand that some things are destined to be impossible."
After saying this, Ye Xinning stood up.
Ready to leave.
As she turned around, Huo Qijun suddenly spoke, "Ye Xinning."
Ye Xinning did not turn around, and her steps faltered.
"Do you think you and Shen Lin can be happy? Heh, if you do, you're too naive. Don't blame your elders for not reminding you to cherish every minute and second you spend with Shen Lin. After all, this should be a very precious time for you."
Ye Xinning froze.
She turned around and stared coldly at Huo Qijun.
Why did Kenneth Fok say such a thing, and what exactly did he mean by it?
Kenneth Fok just laughed.
Ye Xinning knew that even if she asked Huo Qijun at this moment, he wouldn't answer.
He said those things to upset her and make her uneasy.
"I believe in my relationship with Shen Lin, and I also believe in our marriage."
She smiled slightly, said those words firmly, and then left without stopping for a second.
Huo Qijun shouted behind her, "Sometimes I really don't understand the love of you young people. What's wrong with Yanzhi compared to Shenlin? He has your heart set on you, but you've never seriously looked at him. Although I don't like you, sometimes I really feel sorry for my silly little brother."
...
As Ye Xinning left, she stepped outside and saw Huo Yanzhi standing there. Standing next to Huo Yanzhi was Mu Yinjing, whom she had met just two days ago.
The moment Ye Xinning saw Huo Yanzhi, she froze for a moment before coming to her senses. She didn't want to go over there, but she felt that she and Huo Yanzhi needed to settle things.
Standing opposite her, she spoke quietly, "You came to see him?"
Huo Yanzhi nodded. "Mm."
Ye Xinning looked at Mu Yinjing beside her and smiled, "That's good."
"What's good?"
"nothing."
Ye Xinning changed the subject, "Is the Huo Group operating normally?"
"My brother got into trouble, and many shareholders are eager to make a move, and many partners have also canceled their cooperation."
"Yes, from what you're saying, it seems you've encountered some problems."
Huo Yanzhi remained silent.
Ye Xinning slowly added, "But you are capable of handling it."
Huo Yanzhi's intense gaze fell on Ye Xinning. After a long while, he pursed his thin lips and asked, "Do you hate her?"
"What?"
"Me and my brother."
"I used to hate, but now I think more about why I should punish myself for other people's mistakes."
Huo Yanzhi's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he tried to speak several times, but couldn't find the words.
"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back to Ming Mansion. Huo Yanzhi, with you all here, we're even." Ye Xinning glanced at her watch and said slowly.
"Okay, goodbye."
Ye Xinning turned and left.
Huo Yanzhi stood there watching her retreating figure, asking himself the same question.
Do you still love me?
