Chapter 158: To the best of my ability, I will occasionally help and take care of you

Qin Meng screamed miserably.

"stop--"

A sharp female voice drew everyone's attention.

Mother Qin walked quickly to Huo Dongming and Qin Meng. Qin Meng never expected that Gao Ying would come over at this time.

She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, half-knelt on the ground and said to Gao Ying: "Mom, save me, Mom——"

Qin's mother stood in front of them. Huo Dongming stared at her face and subconsciously let go of Qin Meng.

"Mom, Huo Dongming did it on purpose. He bullied me."

Qin Meng stood beside her mother feeling aggrieved, thinking that her mother would stand on her side and blame Huo Dongming.

Mother Qin raised her hand and slapped Qin Meng hard: "Apologize to Mr. Huo."

Qin Meng was stunned by the beating. Huo Dongming looked at them coldly. Qin's mother had a humble expression. She stood in front of Huo Dongming. Although she was dressed brightly, she still couldn't support her haggard face that had been baptized by the years.

She is five years younger than Yuan Yi, but looks more miserable than Yuan Yi.

"Mom, you are Mr. Huo's mother——"

"Shut up. Who is Mr. Huo? Who gave you the confidence to be related to him?"

This was definitely not self-mockery, she was really scolding Qin Meng.

Qin Meng covered her red and swollen face, unable to believe that her mother would treat her like this.

"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. My daughter is young and naive. You gave her resources and supported her, but she turned against you. She is an adult and must be responsible for what she has done. You can punish her in any way you want."

Huo Dongming had been looking at the woman with gray hair in front of him with a calm and indifferent gaze. He had missed this face for many years, and when they really met, he felt no emotion at all.

"Mom, you raised me. I didn't expect you to help me, but why did you help others to hurt me? Is he your son? Has he really looked for you all these years?

Does he know the hardships you have gone through? I am just asking for some resources from him. In fact, I am working for him. Do you know how much I have to pay in the company?"

Qin Meng's face was full of grievance. Huo Dongming returned to his previous position, lit the cigarette again, took a slow puff, and blew a gray smoke ring into the sky.

"I don't want to give back the contract just now. There are many artists who want to get this contract. You can refuse it. I can also refuse to give it to you."

Huo Dongming's voice was not loud, but it was enough to shock Qin Meng.

"Come back with me and stop embarrassing yourself here."

Mother Qin bowed her head slightly with an apologetic look: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to bother you."

Huo Dongming flicked the cigarette ash from his fingers and said, "Since you are here, sit down and have a chat. After all, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Mother Qin paused slightly, and Huo Dongming looked at An Lan on the side.

"Take her away. Tell her some things to pay attention to in the contract. Don't make any mistakes, or you'll be fined NT$30 million."

When Qin Meng heard the price, her face immediately fell.

Where did she get the 30 million compensation?

An Lan reluctantly pulled Qin Meng away, and Qin's mother sat down opposite Huo Dongming.

"What to drink?"

Huo Dongming spoke lightly, and Qin's mother stared at the face in front of her that looked like her beloved man, her mind a little absent-minded. As Huo Dongming asked, she looked at him again.

"No, I'll leave right away."

It was obvious that Qin's mother didn't want to stay any longer. She seemed to be worried about something, and Huo Dongming understood what she was worried about.

"Since Mr. Huo has already acknowledged his ancestors, he should stop thinking about things that are not beneficial to him. I think this is the first time we meet, and it will also be the last time."

Mother Qin stopped Huo Dongming from thinking about this without waiting for him to speak.

Huo Dongming's cigarette burned quietly in his hand. In the hazy gray mist, no one could see his true thoughts.

"Mengmeng is young. If she does something out of line, I hope Mr. Huo can let her off and not bother with a little girl like her. If anything happens, let me take care of it for her."

Qin's mother was anxious to distance herself from Huo Dongming, and Huo Dongming could certainly hear it.

"Are you done yet? Now let's talk about our business."

He didn't want to keep the topic around Qin Meng and discuss it over and over again without getting to any conclusion.

"Mr. Huo, I've made it very clear. I'm Qin Meng's mother, and you're a descendant of the Huo family. Your mother's surname is Yuan, not mine.

I am very happy that I can meet you again in my lifetime, but our fate is over. You live your life and I live my ordinary life, without disturbing each other. "

Mother Qin made it clear that she didn't want to have too much to do with Huo Dongming, and her statement made Huo Dongming extremely unhappy.

"That's what Yuan Yi told you back then. She wanted to exchange your life for the heir of the Huo family, right? You are so cruel to such a young child."

His tone was very calm, so calm that it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.

Mother Qin's face changed slightly, and her red lips trembled a little.

"What can I do? If a woman goes around trying to make a living with an illegitimate child, not only will I not survive, but my child will also starve to death.

If I take you with me, it will only harm you. Your father will never welcome me into his home, and besides, I am not the only woman he has..."

Mother Qin almost couldn't continue speaking at this point.

I once thought that falling in love with a rich man would lead to the same ending as Cinderella, but the reality was far more cruel than I had imagined.

But fortunately, Huo Dongming's father died early and did not have other children with other women. Otherwise, Huo Dongming would not be the only one.

There was a hint of hostility between Huo Dongming's eyebrows.

"So, you traded me for a few decades of comfort. Not a bad deal after all."

Mother Qin became excited.

"What do you know? Are you going to blame me too? Do you think I'm a profit-seeking woman? If I hadn't sent you back to the Huo family, you wouldn't be in your current position.

Don't be too selfish. What can you get by following me? I didn't know he had a family. I believed his words and gave birth to you.

If you want to blame my happy life today on the fact that I abandoned you, go ahead. I don't regret it.

It is me who made you what you are today, and I have never disturbed you. You act as the eldest son of the Huo family, calling her mother Yuan Yi, and I act as a commoner. Don't worry, my existence will not affect your status in the Huo family, as long as you don't come to see me. "

Huo Dongming couldn't help but sneer.

"Look how touchingly you talk about exchanging your own son for wealth and glory. Well, I want to see you but I want to give you something in return."

He took out the pocket watch he had treasured for many years. When Qin's mother saw it, she shuddered all over.

It was made of gold by Huo Dongming's father as a token of his love for her and was specially used to hold her photo.

So many years have passed, but she still hasn't found the pocket watch. It turns out that it is still in the Huo family and in Huo Dongming's hands.

There was a hint of mist in Qin's mother's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She tried hard to suppress her emotions and make her voice sound as calm and mean as possible.

"No, this is not mine. Time is not here, and the years have passed. Mr. Huo, it is more important to move forward. If you really miss me as your mother, I only ask one thing of you, Qin Meng, to the best of your ability, please take care of her occasionally and don't let her be bullied."
