Huo Mian thought those sad mories would cause her mother to treat her with indifference again.

However, to her pleasant surprise, Yang irong just pursed her lips and said, “He’s been dead for so long, why bring him up?

I’m happy today, let’s just enjoy the food.”

Naturally, the other won all changed the subject upon hearing these words from Yang irong.

During the dinner, when Huo Mian went to get so more rice in the kitchen, Jing Zhixin quietly followed her in.

“Sis, forget those old ladies.

They’re super gossipy like that.”

“I know, already forgotten.”

“That’s good.

You don’t seem to be too busy these days, right?” Jing Zhixin asked his sister.

“Yeah, the hospital gave

three days off so I don’t have much to do.”

“That’s good!

If you don’t have to go to work today, sleep here tonight.

You haven’t stayed overnight in a while.” Jing Zhixin looked at her with puppy eyes.

He adored his sister; when they were young, he and his sister often played hide-and-seek under the old tree in the yard.

When they were tired, he would fall asleep under that tree, and Huo Mian would recite Grimm’s Fairy Tales to him.

His sister was a genius; Grimm’s Fairy Tale is a very thick book, and back then, Zhixin couldn’t even recognize all the words, but Huo Mian recited it like it was her own.

He was always so proud of his sister.

Even after his birth father, Jing De, died because of his sister, he never blad her, not one bit.

Huo Mian, on the other side, always thought that his brother was a warm and outgoing boy.

He was carefree and innocent, and she wanted to protect him.

Especially after Uncle Jing’s death, she couldn’t bear to let anything happen to Zhixin.

“Okay.” Huo Mian thought about Zhixin’s request and nodded her head in agreent.

“Yay, aweso!” Zhixin was overjoyed.

After dinner, the other won left, and Huo Mian helped her mother clean up the plates and cutlery.

As she was washing the dishes, she quietly mumbled, “Mom, Jiang Hong ca looking for

a couple of days ago, and she asked

if I wanted to go back.”

“Nothing good cos from her contacting you.”

“It was about the Huo family’s civil war – the wife and mistress are butting heads.”

“That’s good, I hope they fight to the death.

I hope that heartless bastard dies.” Yang irong’s heart was filled with resentnt at the thought of Huo Zhenghai.

After all, she used to be a celebrity.

She had a bright future in front of her and never thought that bastard would ruin her entire life.

In the end, he wouldn’t even acknowledge his own child and gave that sly vixen Shen Jiani an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

“I won’t go back, I’m not interested in their inheritance or anyone in that family.” Huo Mian told her mother how she felt.

Yang irong stopped what she was doing; she turned around to look at Huo Mian.

“It’s rare for you to think that way.”

“I don’t want to go through the pain that you went through.

I don’t care about money; more money, more problems.

I just want to spend the rest of my life with you and Zhixin peacefully.

Once Zhixin gets married, I’ll take you down south.

We’ll have a chance to go see our country’s beautiful mountains and rivers.”

Huo Mian’s words touched Yang irong’s heart…

Since the death of Jing De, she always blad Huo Mian for everything that happened.

The truth was, she didn’t really hate her daughter.

She just never learned how to face the ugly truth.

“You’re not so young anymore, you’ll have to get married soday.

Keep on a lookout and find a good man to spend your life with.

Not a rich guy, he’ll look down on us, and you’ll have a rocky relationship.”

Huo Mian’s heart filled with guilt when she heard her mother say this.

If her mother found out that she had married Qin Chu, she would go crazy, right?

Mom, your health isn’t as good as it used to be.

Why not close the grocery store?

We can sell this house and buy an apartnt in the city, you can enjoy your retirent.” Huo Mian wasn’t so financially strapped anymore.

She wanted her mother to sell this place.

She could provide a down paynt for a new apartnt in the city, where the three of them could live together.
