Huo Junya was still waiting outside the hotel for Huo Sanchun.
Seeing Huo Sanchun erge in a daze, she knew imdiately that Susu hadn’t forgiven her.
Huo Junya sneered inwardly. What a fool. Having a mother like her and not knowing how to flatter her, clinging instead to useless emotions and pride—what’s the point? Can that put food on the table?
Raised in the entertainnt industry, Huo Junya was pragmatic and opportunistic to the core.
In her eyes, nothing mattered more than money.
She steeled herself, then ran toward Huo Sanchun. “Mom!” she cried, throwing her arms around her, her voice hoarse. “Mommy, don’t you want anymore? Don’t you want your baby?”
Huo Sanchun’s heart softened despite herself. She tried to push Huo Junya away, but her arms felt weak.
This was the child she had cherished for over a decade, the one she’d held dear in the palm of her hand.
Closing her eyes, Huo Sanchun forced herself to stay rational.
Instead of pushing Huo Junya away, she stroked her hair, her voice heavy with sorrow. “Junya, you must return to your birth mother.”
Huo Junya stiffened, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
She did have feelings for Huo Sanchun—she had believed Huo Sanchun would never let her go.
But she never expected Huo Sanchun to be so heartless!
Anger surged within her. She wanted to scream, to lash out, to throw a tantrum like she had as a child, waiting for Huo Sanchun to comfort her.
But Huo Junya bit her lip hard and stayed still.
Things were different now. Everything had changed.
She couldn’t afford to be as reckless as before.
Pale and trembling, she looked utterly broken. “Mom, I don’t want to leave. You’re my mother. I only want you, not Liu Dong. Please, don’t make go.”
Faced with her plea, Huo Sanchun wavered. “Your household registration must be transferred,” she conceded. “I’ll still pay for your education, and you can co to for help when you start working. But you won’t be my daughter anymore.
You can’t keep the Huo surna.”
Knowing Huo Junya’s sches, Huo Sanchun decided to cut off all her paths. “You won’t get a single cent of my assets. I’ll draft my will soon—everything I have belongs to Susu.”
At this, Huo Junya shoved Huo Sanchun away, glaring at her with venom. “How can you be so cruel? I may not be your biological child, but you raised !
Just because I’m not blood-related, you’re throwing out with nothing?
You used to say you loved most—was that all a lie? You liar!”
With that, she pushed Huo Sanchun hard and stord off.
Huo Sanchun watched her go, disappointnt weighing heavily on her heart.
The mont money was ntioned, Huo Junya’s true colors showed.
She didn’t care about their bond—only about wealth.
Huo Sanchun vowed never to soften toward her again.
After Huo Sanchun left, Huo Junya turned back and pounded on the hotel door.
“You? Huo Sanchun’s already gone,” Susu said coldly as she opened the door, assuming Huo Junya was looking for her.
Without a word, Huo Junya slapped her.
Susu staggered, stunned, then instinctively fought back.
The two girls grappled violently.
Huo Junya seed possessed, clawing and biting like a wild animal, her eyes burning with hatred. “It’s all your fault! Why don’t you just die? Just die!”
She lunged at Susu, hands closing around her throat.
Trained in martial arts, Huo Junya easily overpowered the petite Susu, choking her until her eyes rolled back.
Bystanders finally intervened, pulling Huo Junya away.
Susu gasped for air, clutching her bruised neck.
Huo Junya shook off the strangers and sprinted toward the window, climbing onto the ledge as if to jump.
“Stop! Don’t do it!” people scread in panic.
Her eyes bloodshot, Huo Junya looked deranged.
She had nothing left.
Going back to Liu Dong? She’d rather die than live in poverty and filth.
“Call Huo Sanchun!” she shrieked. “Bring her here, or I’ll jump!”
The hotel manager rushed over, terrified she’d act impulsively. He promised to fetch Huo Sanchun while secretly calling the police.
Soon, both Liu Dong and Huo Sanchun arrived.
At the sight of Huo Junya teetering on the edge, Huo Sanchun collapsed to her knees.
Liu Dong, too, turned ghostly pale, begging, “Junya, co down! Please, don’t scare like this!”
“Shut up! You’re not my mother!” Huo Junya snarled, her hatred palpable.
Liu Dong froze, unable to tell if the loathing in Huo Junya’s eyes was real or feigned.
Dizzy and disoriented, she stood helplessly in the room—this was nothing like what she’d imagined.
Then she spotted Susu in the corner, pale and shaken.
Rage exploded in Liu Dong’s chest. She lunged at Susu, screaming, “It’s your fault! Why won’t you just die?”
She regretted not strangling Susu years ago.
People yanked Liu Dong back before she could reach Susu.
Susu, still recovering from Huo Junya’s attack, took another slap from Liu Dong. Her face was deathly pale, her dark eyes swirling with unspoken emotions.
Huo Sanchun didn’t even glance at Susu—her entire focus was on Huo Junya, terrified she’d leap.
Huo Junya shot Susu a triumphant look.
So what if Susu’s her real daughter? I’ve been hers for 16 years.
“Mom,” Huo Junya whimpered, tears welling. “Don’t send away, please?”
Huo Sanchun stayed silent.
Huo Junya let out a broken laugh, leaning further out the window.
“Alright! Alright, I won’t make you leave!” Huo Sanchun cried in panic.
Huo Junya smirked. “I knew you loved . And… could you drop the charges against Liu Dong? I don’t want a criminal for a birth mother.”
Huo Sanchun nodded reluctantly.
Huo Junya pressed on. “I know you’ll favor Susu now. I won’t compete with her—just give a little love, okay? Just a little.”
Sobbing, Huo Sanchun agreed. “You’ll always be my daughter. Always.”
She inched forward, arms outstretched. “Co down, sweetheart. Co to .”
But Huo Junya wasn’t done. She turned to Susu. “Susu, I’m begging you—forgive . Let’s be sisters, please?”
All eyes shifted to Susu.
When she remained silent, soone nudged her. “Say sothing! Do you want her to jump?”
“Answer her!” Liu Dong howled, struggling against the people holding her back.
“Mom,” Huo Junya pleaded tearfully, “ask Susu for . Make her accept .”
Huo Sanchun's face was as pale as paper, her lips trembling, unable to speak.
She couldn't bring herself to persuade Susu.
She had owed Susu too much in this lifeti—she simply couldn't do it.
Seeing Huo Sanchun remain silent, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Huo Junya's eyes. Suddenly, she loosened one hand, her body nearly slipping over the edge, then let out a desolate laugh. "I knew it. Susu will never forgive . This is what I owe her. Let die."
With that, she began to let herself fall.
"Susu, forgive her. I'm begging you—please forgive Junya. She's innocent," Huo Sanchun finally spoke.
All eyes turned to Susu, pressuring her with their gazes to grant Huo Junya forgiveness.
Huo Junya stared at Susu too, her lips curling slightly, her eyes filled with venom.
"Say sothing!" soone urged impatiently, yanking at Susu's arm.
"Let go of my daughter."
Just then, a deep, magnetic baritone voice cut through the tension.
