Ye Rouxin looked at Ye Xinning with worry and frustration.
"Ningning, are you alright?"
She regretted it as soon as she slapped him. She didn't want to solve the problem this way, but at that moment, she was really angry at Ye Xinning's words, so she impulsively slapped him.
Ye Xinning didn't move at all, neither when Ye Rouxin apologized after hitting her, nor when Huo Qijun showed her feigned concern.
"I used to only hear that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather, but now it seems that having a stepfather is the same. I, Ye Xinning, have personally experienced this feeling. Not bad, another night that I will never forget."
When Ye Xinning said this, she was clearly smiling, but there was no warmth in her eyes at all.
Ye Rouxin knew her to some extent and knew that this was a behavior she exhibited when she was extremely angry. By suppressing her anger, she kept her emotions in a relatively stable state.
"I'm sorry, Ningning, Mom really is..."
She really wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Xinning interrupted her with a cold voice.
"Chairman Ye, isn't that enough? After slapping me, are you going to give me a piece of candy? In your eyes, am I one of your business partners? You forget the pain as soon as you get some benefits."
"No, I really didn't mean to hit you. Mom was just too angry."
Ye Xinning was utterly disappointed. If Ye Rouxin hadn't said these things, things would have been fine, but with each word Ye Rouxin uttered, she felt her heart sink even further.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment, and she looked at Huo Qijun without any warmth. "Before, you made me leave Nancheng for this man. Now that I'm back, you still can't stand me. If that's the case, then why did you make me come back? Wouldn't it be just as you wanted me to stay abroad and never come back in this lifetime?"
Ye Rouxin pointed to her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by a male voice that suddenly rang out.
"Did I arrive too late and miss something? Why are there so many people standing at the door?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning froze.
She turned around and saw Shen Lin.
The man was still wearing the same clothes as at the banquet, but this time he was more relaxed, and his tone was colder and more somber than at the banquet.
