âUh⦠Maybe it was too cold last night. Itâs fall now, so the temperature is colder,â Huo Mian replied quietly.
Qin Chu heartachingly took the blanket from the couch and covered her with it. Then, he walked into the kitchen and made some brown sugar ginger water to warm up her body.
Holding the cup of warm brown sugar ginger water in her hands, a smug smile appeared on Huo Mianâs face.
She knew no matter how powerful Qin Chu was, he would panic as soon as she showed an impression of weaknessâ¦
He wouldnât even be able to tell if she was really sick or pretendingâ¦
The next day at work, Huo Mian was stopped by Deputy Director Guo after the morning meeting.
âWhatâs going on, Deputy Director Guo?â
âHuo, South Side is choosing the best employee of the month, and I nominated you. As soon as Director Wu approves it, youâll receive a bonus of twenty thousand yuan.â
âNo, itâs fine. Deputy Director Guo, I donât think that Iâm that outstanding. Iâm just doing my job.â Huo Mian didnât want to be in the spotlight and be awarded the best employee. To be frank, she didnât think of herself as someone outstanding.
Her situation now was different from what it was in the beginning. She was quite poor when she had first started as an intern at the First Hospital.
She was in dire need of money and therefore asked the head nurse for a bonus.
Now, she no longer needed money, and she only wanted to do her job. She wanted to give the bonus to someone who actually needed it, or else she would feel guilty.
âUgh, I said that I nominated you. Mr. Huo gave us so much funding, and it was all due to you.â
Deputy Director Guo brought up Huo Siqian again, which gave Huo Mian a repulsive feeling.
âDeputy Director Guo, sorry, I donât have a great relationship with Huo Siqian. Heâs him and I am me, you donât have to give me special treatment because of him.â
âHa, I know, I wonât let word get out. Donât worry and keep doing what youâre doing.â It seemed like Deputy Director Guo didnât understand what Huo Mian was trying to express. He left after trying to please Huo Mian with his words.
It bummed Huo Mian outâ¦
A black Rolls-Royce slowly parked in front of South Side Recuperation Centre.
Huo Zhenghai exited the car, followed by two bodyguards and a chauffeur.
It may have been because his weak body was susceptible to chills because another bodyguard held an umbrella over his head.
He looked very stylish, dressed in a black wool coat. Huo Zhenghai had a smileless face and was exuding the aura of an aristocrat.
When Huo Mian saw him at the door of her office, she glanced at him and lowered her head, continuing to organize her reports.
She had no intention of talking to himâ¦
âMian,â he spoke first.
Then, Huo Zhenghai waved his hand, signaling his people to take their leave and close the door behind him.
âMr. Huo, donât waste time on me. I wonât return to the Huo Family. I trust that you mustâve seen the official statement. I donât want to waste time bickering, as I am busy at work. Please leave.â
To avoid an unpleasant conversation, Huo Mian straight up asked him to leaveâ¦
However, Huo Zhenghai had no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down in front of Huo Mian.
âMian, I understand what youâre going through. Your mom and you have had some rough years, and as a father, I havenât been dutiful to either of you. I can understand if you blame me.â
âThank you for your understanding, I wonât bother seeing you out.â
Huo Mianâs face was ice cold; she didnât even raise her head or glance at Huo Zhenghai once.
She was speechless with this cold-blooded businessman in front of her. As a human being, he did not have basic morals, so what was the point for him to keep living anymore.
Of course, she couldnât say that. After all, he was her father no matter how much she didnât want to admit to it.
âBe patient, Mian. Hear me out first, I heard rumors that you were Su Yuâs private nurse when he stayed here, right?â After beating around the bush for a while, Huo Zhenghai got to the real reason he came today.
