That sounds so real.
But Huaihuai glanced down at the dishes and immediately called her out, "Auntie, why didn't you ask me what I like to eat? None of these dishes suit my taste!"
Tong Zhiwei choked again, almost dying of anger.
"Don't you like it?" Upon hearing this, Huo Jinzhou simply stood up. "Then I'll take you out to eat."
Huaihuai was clearly not expected him to say that, and immediately asked, "But what about all this food? It's Auntie's good intention, we can't let it go to waste."
“Since she did it herself, she’ll probably handle it.” Huo Jinzhou said, picking him up from the chair and turning to walk outside.
"Wait a minute..." Tong Zhiwei was almost crying with anxiety, "I... I want to go too."
"No need." Huo Jinzhou glanced back at her. "This table of food shouldn't be wasted. You should eat it yourself! I'm sure it'll suit your taste since you made it yourself."
After saying that, he picked up Huaihuai and left.
Tong Zhiwei was so angry that she burst into tears and rushed up to call her mother to complain.
"What? How could he be so rude?" Tong's mother looked distressed and felt sorry for her daughter.
But thinking of Huo Jinzhou's family background, she forced herself to hold back. "Alright, Weiwei, this is just a small setback. You're trying to win over the president of Huo's Group. It's not something that can be done overnight. Just keep trying. This is just the beginning!"
"But I feel that as long as that brat is around, I won't have a good life." Tong Zhiwei didn't know why, but she had this bad feeling.
“You’re overthinking it. He’s just a little kid. How could he be a match for you? Besides, your dad and I are here to help you!” Tong’s mother said calmly.
With her coaxing, Tong Zhiwei finally controlled her anger and displayed a proper attitude.
When Huo Jinzhou returned with Huaihuai that evening, and saw him carry the child back to his room before turning to his study to handle official business, Tong Zhiwei immediately felt that her opportunity had arrived.
So she turned around and made herself a cup of coffee, then went to the study and knocked on the door. After receiving permission, she took the coffee and went inside.
"Jinzhou, you're going to be working late again, aren't you?" She walked over to Huo Jinzhou with a cup of coffee. "Have a cup of coffee to perk you up!"
Huo Jinzhou didn't think much of it and was about to reach out to take it when Tong Zhiwei's hand slipped, and the coffee accidentally spilled onto his trouser leg.
"Oh dear, I was so careless!" She immediately looked apologetic, reached out to wipe it, and unconsciously moved closer to Huo Jinzhou.
Just as she was about to fall into his arms, a childish voice rang out from outside the door, "Father, excuse me."
Upon hearing Huaihuai's voice, Huo Jinzhou pushed Tong Zhiwei away, "What's wrong, Huaihuai? Weren't you asleep just now?"
Caught off guard, Tong Zhiwei was suddenly pushed to the ground, her elbow hitting the floor, causing her excruciating pain and bringing tears to her eyes.
But Huo Jinzhou didn't even glance at her.
"It sounds like thunder outside, and I'm a little scared being alone." Huaihuai said, unusually nervous and shy, "Father, could you stay with me for a while?"
"No problem." Huo Jinzhou immediately put down all his official duties, walked over, and took his hand to lead him back to his room.
Tong Zhiwei: "..." Do you all think I'm dead?
She was furious, her face contorted like a vengeful ghost!
But remembering what her mother had said, she gritted her teeth and held on tightly!
Be patient! Be patient!
A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast expanse.
She must be patient because she still needs to use this little bastard to achieve her goals.
Next, she will continue her efforts.
Little did Tong Zhiwei know that this was the beginning of her tragedy.
In the days that followed, whenever Tong Zhiwei tried to find an excuse to get close to Huo Jinzhou, Huaihuai would always thwart her plans.
Once, Huo Jinzhou drank too much while doing business abroad and booked a hotel to stay in.
She secretly followed him, took a rose bath, applied perfume, and came out in a sexy nightgown, intending to seduce him.
Just before the plan was to be implemented, Huo Jinzhou received a phone call from the family's housekeeper, who said that Huaihuai was sick.
So Huo Jinzhou also flew back that night...
The plan has failed again!
Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but it happens every time, so it must be intentional.
Tong Zhiwei hated Huaihuai with a passion, but Huo Jinzhou protected and doted on her, so she could only confide her grievances to her mother.
"What? That little bastard actually dared to do that?"
The three of them had clearly tried their best to please Huaihuai, and Huaihuai had accepted everything, but instead of helping, she dragged them down.
They never considered them as real family.
"Weiwei, you need to be careful of him. Observe him carefully in your daily life. Maybe he has a master behind him who is deliberately teaching her to do this," Tong's mother carefully reminded her.
Tong Zhiwei was startled: "What?!"
...
After being reminded by her mother, Tong Zhiwei thought about it more and more and realized that this was indeed the case.
Otherwise, how could a child be so cunning and constantly go against his aunt?
So she carefully observed Huaihuai, and finally, every night, when she passed by his room and saw that the door was open, she carefully leaned in and unexpectedly overheard him having a voice call with someone.
"Mommy, it's really just as you guessed. My aunt has been trying every means to seduce my father." Huaihuai deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Is she really using me and has ulterior motives?"
A clear, crisp female voice followed, "Perhaps, but in any case, she's definitely not a good person."
Huaihuai: "What about my maternal grandparents?"
Yi Tianran: "They're all in cahoots, none of them are good people."
Tong Zhiwei's lips twitched as she listened, and she almost couldn't resist rushing in and smashing his phone.
OK!
Sure enough, someone was sabotaging things behind the scenes.
That damn Yi Tianran, does she just not want her to be happy?
She continued eavesdropping—
"Mommy, why are you so sure?" Huaihuai asked curiously.
“Because back then, your biological mother was pregnant and lying alone in the hospital room, with no one to care about her.” Yi Tianran sighed as she said this, “Although she never told me about her family, it certainly wasn’t a good thing.”
At this point, she seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration, "That's right! Huaihuai, your birth mother left me a videotape before she passed away. It might contain her experiences. She said that if your family doesn't find you, you shouldn't take out the videotape; but if someone brings you home, you should take it out and watch it so that you can know the truth."
Huaihuai immediately pressed, "Really? Where is the videotape?"
