Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this point, Mrs. Huo seemed to feel that she had found a way to manipulate Huo You. She immediately became calm and smug.

“As long as we announce the news that the marriage agreement has been invalidated, you’ll become the laughing stock of S City. Huo You, let’s see what identity you’re going to use to stay by He Yu’s side and attend the banquet with him!”

After hearing Mrs. Huo’s words, Huo You finally knew what she was thinking. Looking at how incompetent and furious Mrs. Huo, who always valued her image, was, it was like she was watching an interesting comedy.

Huo You couldn’t help but look like she was enjoying the performance.

However, Huo You’s expression made Mrs. Huo even angrier. She stopped scolding and took a deep breath, barely managing to maintain her composure. She forced her voice out through gritted teeth. “Huo You, what’s with that look?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m using a gaze as if I’m looking at a joke. Mother, don’t you think you’re very ridiculous now?”

As if to prove herself, Huo You laughed as she spoke. “Hahaha… The usually gentle and virtuous mistress of the Huo Family now looks like a clown…”

In the decades of Mrs. Huo’s life, she rarely met anyone who dared to mock her in front of her face. Moreover, this person was her biological daughter, someone who should be only able to survive by depending on her. How dare she treat her with such an attitude!

Mrs. Huo could no longer tolerate the rage in her heart. She took a step forward, stood in front of Huo You, raised her hand, and slapped down hard!

Huo You clicked her tongue and looked impatient. She reached out and blocked Mrs. Huo’s arm, then pushed her back, making her stumble and fall onto the sofa.

Before Mrs. Huo could scold her, Huo You spoke up first disdainfully, “Mother, is slapping the only thing you know? It’s been so long, but you don’t have any new tricks at all. It’s really boring.”

Huo You felt even happier when she saw how Mrs. Huo was so angry that she couldn’t speak and could only point at her while trembling.

She said while smiling, “Moreover, Mother, you actually want to use the method of canceling my engagement with He Yu to threaten me? Haven’t you realized that I don’t want to get engaged to He Yu at all? If I had known that you would cancel my engagement with He Yu in a fit of anger, why would I have spent so much effort to fulfill your request?”

Mrs. Huo thought about things from her own perspective and subconsciously felt that even if Huo You looked unwilling to accept the marriage agreement, she definitely wouldn’t miss out on a good fiancé like He Yu. Therefore, she had subconsciously used their marriage agreement to threaten Huo You.

However, she fell into Huo You’s trap. Only then did Mrs. Huo remember that ever since they started discussing the marriage agreement, Huo You had been very cold. Previously, Mr. Huo had even planned to use the cancellation of the marriage agreement as a bargaining chip in exchange for Huo You to apologize to Huo Tian and get the invitation letter.

Having taken a wrong step in a fit of anger, Mrs. Huo forced herself to calm down. She tried hard to maintain her composure. “Huo You, since you’ve already agreed to your father and my request, you should work hard to keep it. Didn’t you want the entertainment company at home? With your passive attitude, how could we possibly hand the entertainment company to you?”

Huo You rested her chin on her hand and said slowly, “Mother, do you really think that I’m the one who caused the conflict between the Huo Family and Huo Tian?”

Mrs. Huo blurted out matter-of-factly, “Of course. If it wasn’t for you, how could we have become distant with Tiantian?”

“But Huo Tian doesn’t think so.” Huo You stared at the stunned Mrs.. Huo with a mocking expression. “She also understands that the conflict between the two of us is just a small fight between children who just hate each other…”
