Huo Yanzhi stopped at the traffic light intersection, turned the car around, and asked a question.
Ye Xinning ignored him. All she wanted to do was get to her destination and separate from him as soon as possible. There was no need for them to talk.
She remained silent, but Huo Yanzhi was not about to give up easily. He continued, "What did Shen Lin do? Why did he make you leave the Shen family in this snowy weather? Did he do something to betray you again?"
Ye Xinning remained silent, seemingly ignoring everything Huo Yanzhi said.
Seeing that she remained silent, Huo Yanzhi lowered his voice and said threateningly, "If you don't speak up, I won't drive when we get to our destination, and I won't let you get out of the car. We'll just sit in the car all night."
Huo Yanzhi has never been a man of integrity, and Ye Xinning knows that if he says something, he can do it.
Having no other option, she spoke up, but her tone remained stiff.
"What is it? It has nothing to do with you."
"It's really okay, you say..."
Huo Yanzhi stopped halfway through his sentence, not for any other reason than that he noticed the bracelet on Ye Xinning's wrist was missing.
No one knew better than him how important Ye Xinning valued this bracelet.
She's never taken the bracelet off in all these years, so what does its absence signify...?
Huo Yanzhi wasn't stupid; he could guess the general idea.
The car continued driving, and he stopped talking. Half an hour later, the car came to a steady stop at the entrance of the residential area where Ye Xinning used to live.
As soon as the car stopped, Ye Xinning couldn't wait to open the door and get out, but she still didn't open it.
He turned around, glaring angrily at Huo Yanzhi, "Huo Yanzhi, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Is that a bracelet in the bag?"
Ye Xinning remained silent and did not answer.
Huo Yanzhi then asked, "Was your bracelet broken? Why did it break? Was it because the bracelet broke that you left the Shen family?"
Huo Yanzhi kept asking questions, and Ye Xinning's psychological defenses gradually crumbled.
She decided to throw caution to the wind, "Yes, that's right, this is my bracelet, and it's broken. So what? Are you happy now? You've always disliked me wearing it, and now that it's broken, you've all got what you wanted, right?"
She finished speaking without pausing, then turned away, refusing to look at Huo Yanzhi again.
Huo Yanzhi wanted to explain that wasn't what she meant, but her attitude clearly showed that she didn't want to communicate.
With no other option, Huo Yanzhi opened the car door.
Ye Xinning couldn't wait a second longer and immediately got out of the car with her things.
Huo Yanzhi watched her departing figure from the car until her slender silhouette disappeared into the distance. Only then did he start the car and slowly drive away.
Ye Xinning knew very well how important that bracelet was to him, so no matter how the bracelet broke tonight, and no matter what role Shen Lin played in this, Ye Xinning would inevitably create an irreparable rift between them.
This is what made Huo Yanzhi realize that he didn't need to rush things. As long as Ye Xinning's relationship with Shen Lin had problems, it was only a matter of time before he took advantage of the situation.
Huo Yanzhi's car gradually drove away, but another car remained parked downstairs at Ye Xinning's building.
Watching Huo Yanzhi's car drive away, the person inside glanced at the room with the light on, then drove off to a villa in the southern part of the city. There, a man lay on the bed, while someone stood beside him as he was taken to that abandoned neighborhood.
The person on the bed was silent for a second upon hearing this, then spoke in a low voice, his emotions unreadable, "Is it that person from the Huo family?"
