Chapter 178 The female companion tonight is not Mrs. Huo

Gao Ying lay quietly on the bed, looking at the greedy yet seemingly innocent eyes of this adopted daughter which revealed extreme stupidity.

She stared at Qin Meng for a long time, then sneered, with uncontrollable coldness and mockery in her eyes.

"When I was young, I thought the same as you. Forget it, do whatever you want. But I tell you, your father and I are divorced. We signed the divorce agreement a long time ago, and we have had the certificate for three years."

An expression of disbelief immediately appeared on Qin Meng's triumphant face, while Gao Ying's calm, age-reflected face revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

"Why? My father has been married to you for so many years. What has he done to you? Why do you want to divorce him?"

Qin Meng wished she could strangle Gao Ying to death at this moment.

"Because you and your father conspired to do this. If you continue to do this, one day our whole family will be killed by you.

I am divorced from your father, and everything you do has nothing to do with me. If you can really become Mrs. Huo, it is your ability. If you can't, at least you don't have to drag me down with you."

Qin Meng's hope was like an afterimage in a mirror, shattered in an instant.

There is a world of difference between an adopted daughter and an unrelated person.

"We have been mother and daughter for 20 years, and you just abandon me like this. My dad will not stand on your side to plot against me..."

Qin Meng didn't believe it.

"Your father's stomach cancer is not yet in the middle or late stage, so the money can save his life. Compared to your stupidity of ignoring him during his illness and blindly climbing up the ladder with the resources I risked my life for you, he will naturally choose my side.

Isn't this how relationships between people work, seeking benefits and avoiding harm? You are young, and your looks are not stunning, but a little above average. Go outside and write a statement. We will completely sever our mother-daughter relationship. For your father's sake, I will still help you if you need anything.

You also said that Huo Dongming is my son no matter what. You have your plans and I have mine. Chenggong, I recognize you as my daughter-in-law. If something goes wrong, at least it has nothing to do with me. "

Qin Meng was dumbfounded. It was like the first time she met Gao Ying. From the ecstasy when she knew Gao Ying was Huo Dongming's biological mother to the depression now, she was almost going crazy.

Gao Ying was not testing him when she said this. She had already taken sufficient precautions against the possible consequences of what Qin Meng had done, directly separating them from their father and daughter in marriage, and adding an agreement to sever their relationship. From now on, everything Qin Meng did would only benefit Gao Ying.

Qin Meng's idea of ​​using Gao Ying's identity to rise to a high position was completely shattered.

"I won't sign."

She gritted her teeth, and her heavily made-up face became ferocious and terrifying.

"You will sign it. If you don't, I will call Mrs. Huo and ask her to withdraw all your resources from the Huo Group. Do you think Huo Dongming is willing to help you? I won't contact him. If you force me to talk to him, think about what you have done to him. Not only will your resources be gone, but you may even lose your life."

Gao Ying said the most vicious words in a calm tone. A woman who had experienced many hardships, been cheated on by a third party, been abandoned, and had to exchange her own son for an opportunity in order to survive, knew very well where she was.

She had planned for decades of good life, and she couldn't let it be ruined by a brainless adopted daughter.

The worse Qin Meng's moves were, the more she hated Qin Meng.

After all, she was not his biological child and could not inherit his intelligence, but Gao Ying would not allow her stupidity to ruin his decades of painstaking efforts.

Qin Meng had never expected that Gao Ying, who had taken good care of her for so many years and had become a member of her family, would resort to this trick. She thought that Gao Ying would let her do as she pleased because of their mother-daughter relationship, and thus help her take the position of Mrs. Huo smoothly.

Just when she seemed to see a glimmer of hope, Gao Ying showed up and cut off the source of her trouble, catching her off guard and leaving her completely without any idea how to respond.

"It's up to you whether you sign or not."

Gao Ying pulled up the quilt and lay back on the bed.

She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring Qin Meng who was standing beside her in a daze.

Now Qin Meng only has two choices, either make a written and fair statement to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Gao Ying, or get out of the Huo Group and become an ugly duck again.

She didn't want to choose either one.

Both options are fatal to her, but if she has to choose one, only severing the relationship with Gao Ying will provide room for development.

"Mom, I don't want to leave you. I don't want to break off my relationship with you. After all, we have been mother and daughter for twenty years. I have feelings for you."

Qin Meng realized the seriousness of the problem and started to play the emotional card.

Gao Ying slowly opened her eyes, and her expression made Qin Meng feel despair.

"Severing the relationship is not necessarily related to feelings. I have to give an explanation to my son. Do you think the feelings between you and me exceed the blood relationship between me and my son? Just sign it, and stop pretending to be so great in front of me.

You just don't want to lose this strong relationship with me, and you're afraid that you won't get any benefit from it in the future. But the stupidest thing about you is that you just want to use me, instead of trying to persuade me and win my heart.

I have raised you for twenty years. I know you better than your mother. Dry your tears and use your acting skills for work. Don't come into my house without that piece of paper. I don't need you to visit me."

Gao Ying immediately ordered him to leave without any regrets.

…

Huo Group

Huo Dongming sat at his desk and looked through the documents his assistant handed over.

He guessed many possibilities, but he didn't think of Chen Rongsheng and his wife as Shang Wanwan's biological parents.

The assistant felt uneasy when he saw Huo Shao's uncertain expression.

An Lan brought in some coffee and reported on today's schedule.

"The party inviting the business reception tonight requires attendees to bring female companions. Mr. Huo, are you going to prepare an evening gown for Mrs. Huo?"

She asked tentatively. She was secretly happy to know that Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan were having an affair again recently.

In the past, she always took advantage of this opportunity. The only time Huo Dongming didn't bring her to a banquet hosted by Mrs. Chen. This time it has nothing to do with Mrs. Chen, so Huo Dongming will definitely choose her.

Huo Dongming closed the information in front of him and felt a little depressed.

"The evening dress should be light pink, and prepare a pair of medium-heeled shoes."

He paused for a moment and said, "Come with me to pick out a set of jewelry later. It should be youthful and not look old-fashioned or tacky."

An Lan replied "yes" and said casually: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so grand."

Jewelry, what kind of jewelry would Master Huo give her? Every time he attended a banquet, Huo Dongming would give her a set of expensive jewelry to match her dress. He was never stingy with money when it came to women.

An Lan was delighted.

Huo Dongming seemed not to have heard her words. Seeing that she was still standing there, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"

An Lan was delighted and deliberately asked in a rude manner, "Should we notify Mrs. Huo to go try on the jewelry?"

She wanted to hear from Huo Dongming that the person he was going to take away that night was not Shang Wanwan.

"No, the female companion tonight is not Mrs. Huo——"

really……

An Lan could hardly hide the smile on her face, but soon she couldn't smile anymore.

"Send the things to Qin Meng..."
