This is the worst-case scenario.
She originally had nothing; everything she had was given to her by him.
At worst, he can take it all back.
"I thought I wouldn't dare, but I underestimated a mother's determination."
“I let Zeze follow you because you can give him more.”
"In order to see him more often and get closer to him, I pretended to be a gold digger, just so I could stay by your side longer and see Zeze more often."
"I don't think it matters if I live my life this way, as long as my children can have a better life than others."
"But I realized I was wrong. You didn't treat him like your child at all. He was just a tool, a tool that you would use ruthlessly as long as you could use him."
"Shut up!" Huo Beichen refused to accept her accusation. "You don't understand anything, you have no right to say these things!"
"Am I wrong?" Her gaze was firm and calm. "To keep Yun Suiwan by your side, you didn't hesitate to use Zeze as a pawn. Do you think you're a qualified father?"
"Although I am humble, powerless, and penniless, I do not want my child to become your tool."
Huo Beichen shifted his feet back and forth, his face seemingly calm, but in reality, he was in complete disarray.
He never imagined that the woman who listened to him the most would one day so resolutely rebel against him.
Perhaps it has nothing to do with resistance.
What agitated him was the indifference, distrust, and contempt in her eyes.
He felt he could no longer hold onto her.
"Sheng Nanyin, do you know the consequences of doing this?" he asked coldly.
“I know you have the power to make me disappear from this world, but no matter what you do, the child will know the truth one day.”
"You think I care?" he sneered.
"So what if you don't care?" A cool smile appeared on her lips.
Even the strands of her hair seemed to tell him that she could be indifferent.
"Huo Beichen, I've already paid back everything I owed you over the years."
The veins on Huo Beichen's temples throbbed. He took a few big strides and rushed to Sheng Nanyin's side.
With a strong pull, she fell onto the sofa.
"I'll show you what you care about." He roared and tore at the fabric, the sound of tearing fabric echoing through the air.
Her eyes were bright and clear, her skin was fair and smooth, and her figure was supple, just like every other woman he had ever seen.
However, her expression was blank and her eyes were empty, like a soulless rag doll that he could manipulate at will.
He doesn't want that.
He wanted her alluring gaze.
She is incredibly charming.
Her tenderness was completely at his mercy.
But now, all her expressions tell him that it's all over, and he no longer deserves it.
He was slightly taken aback, feeling an unprecedented fear within him.
But he quickly suppressed that fear.
He found it ridiculous; how could a woman like Sheng Nanyin possibly control his emotions?
He always speaks and she does what he says. When did it become her turn to make the decisions?
This time will be no exception.
He will make her realize this clearly.
He stood up, released his grip on her, and his expression returned to its coldness.
“You can go,” he said, “but remember this: once you walk out this door today, I will never let you back in.”
Sheng Nanyin tried to straighten her clothes, but how could the torn fabric be restored to its original state?
She ignored it and walked towards the door.
The footsteps suddenly stopped.
Huo Beichen's fingers twitched slightly, a strange sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
She did regret it.
He knew she couldn't live without him.
She spoke up, saying, "Huo Beichen, have your men open the door."
Huo Beichen turned around abruptly, his gaze as cold as ice as he stared at her: "Sheng Nanyin, are you really sure about this?"
"I know Yun Suiwan will help you, but to what extent do you think she will help you?"
"Why drag Miss Yun into this? This is originally a matter between the two of us, and it's time to put an end to it."
Just then, the apartment door opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in.
She walked into the sunlight without looking back.
He felt a sudden burst of dazzling light before his eyes, and then the figure vanished.
Only an empty corridor remained.
With a "bang," something broke in the apartment.
The mother heard everything clearly from outside, but stood still.
Suddenly he remembered that the only thing in the apartment that could make that kind of sound was that antique vase.
It was just auctioned off last month.
Its value is probably around fifty million.
Getting angry can really cost you money.
Huo Beichen suddenly walked out. "Go to the company." His face was as dark as the sky before a downpour.
Ah Liang quickly followed.
Sheng Nanyin walked out of the apartment building in a daze, not knowing where she was.
She remained calm, quietly enduring the excruciating pain.
She cared more than she realized.
Letting go isn't so easy.
"Oh, young lady, what's wrong?"
"Were you bullied by bad guys? Do you want me to take you to rest?"
Only then did she realize that she was in the middle of a narrow path, with two young men blocking her way.
Their expressions were greedy, and they made no attempt to hide the filth in their eyes.
Sheng Nanyin ignored them and turned to walk back, only to find that there were two more people blocking her way.
They're in cahoots.
"Don't be afraid, we are all good people, we just want to take you to get some rest..."
Under the sunlight, the tattered fabric couldn't hide her fair skin; they couldn't wait any longer.
"Get out of here!" Sheng Nanyin shouted angrily.
"Hehe, she's a little firecracker, I like her!"
"What are you guys hesitating for? Let's go!"
The four of them rushed towards Sheng Nanyin, and one of them suddenly yelled!
The others turned around and saw one of their companions being lifted up by a strong man.
Like a cat picking up a mouse.
Before the others could react, the man kicked them several times, knocking them to the ground.
"Spare me! Spare me!" A chorus of pleas for mercy rang out.
"Get lost!" the man commanded, and the scoundrels vanished without a trace.
Sheng Nanyin looked up and saw it was A Liang.
Immediately afterwards, a suit jacket was draped over her shoulders.
The familiar scent mingled with her breath.
It was him.
But why bother?
Sheng Nanyin raised her head and looked up at his face. "If you hadn't saved me back then, we would be strangers now, wouldn't that be better?"
There is no pain.
There is no contradiction.
There was no struggle.
Huo Beichen squatted down, reached out and pinched her delicate chin, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Trying to distance yourself from me? Impossible."
"I will show you that the decision you made today will lead to your utter ruin."
He pierced her softest heart with the coldest words.
He would also stir the sharp weapon in his hand until her heart was mangled and bloody.
Until she begged him for mercy.
"Take care." With that, he got up and left.
A week later, Sheng Nanyin understood what he meant by what he said today.
