"Although none of these three sets of jewelry suit me very well, my parents wanted to give them to me, so I can't refuse. I'll choose this set of imperial green jewelry."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, her parents fell into complete silence.
The couple's faces were stiff and their expressions were unpleasant. Their gazes towards Qin Wan were filled with resentment, even though they tried their best to hide it.
Qin's mother wanted to say a few more words to dissuade Qin Wan from her idea, but Huo Yan's patience had already run out.
"see a visitor out."
The assistant stepped forward to open the door, smiling as he looked at Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
Qin's father and mother: "..."
Hotel underground parking lot.
Qin's mother trembled with rage, demanding uncontrollably, "How dare she? How dare she?"
Mr. Qin's anger was also at its peak, but seeing his wife change from her usual dignified and elegant demeanor to this shrewish and cursing appearance, a sense of disgust crept into his heart.
Some of the hatred directed at Qin Wan was transferred to Qin's mother...
"Isn't it because you gave birth to such a wonderful daughter!"
"Can something born of a mother but not raised by one have a conscience?"
Originally, Qin's mother still resented Qin Wan, but after Qin's father made these vicious remarks, she immediately turned her anger towards him.
"Qin Shaojie, have you no shame?"
"It was Qin Wan who angered you. If you're so capable, go and teach her a lesson. What's the point of you making veiled attacks here?"
"Yes, that's right, Qin Wan is my daughter, but don't think you can get away with it. I don't have the ability to give birth to her on my own; you also played a part in it."
As they talked, Qin's mother became so angry that she started tearing at Qin's father's clothes, forcing him to apologize to her.
"You heartless bastard! I worked myself to the bone, risking my figure to give birth to your children. Weiwei is obedient because of your good genes, but Qin Wan being heartless makes it my fault, right?"
"If you say Qin Wan is ill-mannered, it's because you, as her father, never raised her properly. Don't try to shift all the blame onto me!"
"You crazy woman, stop right now!"
The scene of the couple fighting was quite spectacular. Qin Wan watched calmly, but a faint self-mockery still crept into her eyes.
“I thought that even if they didn’t like me, I was still their biological child, and they would be closer to me than outsiders…”
Huo Yan frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Wan's face lit up with a gentle smile again, "It's all in the past. I have you from now on."
As she spoke, she looked at him with nervous anticipation in her eyes, "Can I hug you?"
Their eyes met, and seeing the tension in her eyes, Huo Yan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Time ticked by, but Huo Yan remained inactive. Just as Qin Wan's face showed disappointment, the man suddenly stepped forward, and her body was pulled forward by a force...
Warmth enveloped her, and she felt the faint, cool fragrance emanating from the man. Qin Wan's lips curled up, and her hands silently wrapped around his neck and waist.
"Huo Yan."
"Um?"
"It's so good to have you."
Sensing the dependence in the girl's tone, Huo Yan gently nuzzled the top of her head with his chin, "Silly girl."
It's so good to have you.
Huo Yan silently repeated this sentence in his mind.
Before she came into his life, he never imagined that he would one day experience the taste of love.
Thinking of this, Huo Yan's lips curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his calm eyes.
Qin Wei called her parents all night, but was always told that the calls were busy and no one answered.
Guided by the system, she found her parents arguing and tearing at each other in the hotel's underground parking lot.
"Mom and Dad!"
What are you doing?
Qin Wei glared angrily at her parents.
"Weiwei? What are you doing here?"
Because of Qin Wei's sudden appearance, Qin's father and mother finally stopped tearing each other apart.
The couple glared at each other resentfully, then straightened their clothes and looked at Qin Wei with disapproval, their brows furrowed.
"It's so late, why are you running around outside instead of staying at home?" Qin's father, abandoning his usual kind father demeanor, scolded impatiently.
Qin Wei noticed the change in her father's attitude, but at the moment she was more concerned about something else.
"Mom and Dad, why did you do that?"
Why did you treat me like that?
"It's all Qin Wan's fault. Qin Wan stole my fiancé, Qin Wan stole everything that belonged to me, so why are you all helping Qin Wan bully me?"
The couple had already been rebuffed by Huo Yan and Qin Wan that evening, and were feeling quite annoyed and frustrated.
If Qin Wei had been more obedient and understanding, they would have felt guilty, but Qin Wei chose to question them in an unfriendly tone.
Putting aside their pride as parents and elders, they simply couldn't tolerate Qin Wei's attitude.
"It's none of your business how we do things!" Qin's father said coldly.
"Dad, how could you become like this? Didn't you say you would help me? Didn't you promise me that the position of the young mistress of the Huo family would belong only to me?"
"How can you go back on your word? What benefits did Qin Wan give you? How can you be so biased towards her?"
Hearing Qin Wei mention Qin Wan made Qin's father's already bad mood even worse.
Looking at Qin Wei, who was being aggressive, disrespectful, and constantly questioning and accusing him, Qin's father became completely impatient.
"Smack!"
The loud slap echoed throughout the underground parking garage.
Even Qin Wan and Huo Yan, who were embracing each other not far away, let go of each other and looked over in this direction in tacit agreement, enjoying this annual spectacle.
"You hit me?"
How could you hit me?
"You've never hit me before, from childhood to adulthood, and now you're hitting me for Qin Wan?"
"Dad, you've gone too far!" Qin Wei was trembling with anger.
She originally thought that being reborn would change her fate and give her a new life.
But Qin Wan's changes, Huo Yan's neglect, her parents' betrayal, and Lu Bei's betrayal—all of this had driven her to madness.
Currently, Huo Yan's favorability towards Qin Wan has reached 75%. If she doesn't take action soon, once Huo Yan's favorability towards Qin Wan reaches 100%, she will suffer the same tragic death as in her previous life.
The problem is, not only can she not find a way to get close to Huo Yan, but her parents are also holding her back by holding a press conference to smear her.
How could she possibly tolerate this?
"I'm going too far?" Qin's father was so angry he laughed.
He hadn't realized it until Qin Wan told him about it tonight, but after she recounted everything, he discovered how much he doted on Qin Wei.
The birthday gifts she received each year after she came of age amounted to hundreds of millions.
He's been so good to her, how dare Qin Wei accuse her of favoring Qin Wan?
Thinking that because of Qin Wei, he was forced to bleed heavily tonight, having to transfer such a large sum of money to his rebellious daughter Qin Wan, in a fit of rage, Qin's father raised his hand and slapped Qin Wei hard again...
"Smack!"
...
...
...
As the slap landed, the entire underground parking lot fell into a deathly silence.
