Entering the bedroom, I closed the door.
My mother-in-law went straight to the chair near the window and sat down and looked at me. Her face was still sullen, and there was cold air around her.
It's strange that this is my residence, but why does the atmosphere seem to be overwhelming?
I remind myself, I'm not wrong, there's no need to be submissive.
So I went to the opposite chair and sat down.
My mother-in-law didn't speak for a long time, and my mood gradually calmed down. I even thought whether to pour a glass of water for this uninvited elder.
Fortunately, when I was entangled, my mother-in-law finally spoke.
"Later and later, I want you to tell me honestly, did you do it?" My mother-in-law asked me sternly.
"Mrs. Huo, I have just explained that this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm not stupid enough. There's no need to burn the Huo family for the so-called revenge."
My mother-in-law looked at me, wondering if she believed me.
"Of course, just as I can't prove that this child belongs to the Huo family," I feel my stomach. Over the past few days, I have gradually learned her routine. "I can't prove that I have nothing to do with this."
"You didn't lie?" "My mother-in-law asked," I tell you, if you dare to cheat me today, I promise you will not have a good life in the future, and Yan Yan, you will never see again. "
I admit that my mother-in-law's move does threaten me. If I have any fear of the Huo family, it's Yan Yan, the daughter I don't want to lose.
"Do I have to lie to you?" I said, "you've come to your door. With your experience, I'm not lying. You can see it at a glance. What's more, you still have hostages. "
Holding on to my daughter while threatening my sister, I really convinced this woman.
"I believe you for the time being!" My mother-in-law said, "I'm afraid you don't have the guts!"
I'm so grateful that she can believe me.
"Well, will you give me back Yanyan?" Now that I have gained her trust, I might as well take this opportunity to ask, "she has been with me, I'm afraid she can't adapt to the life without her mother."
I know my daughter best. I know her temperament best.
My mother-in-law gave me a squint. "Yan Yan is also a granddaughter of the Huo family. Without her mother, father and grandparents, we will take good care of her."
My mother-in-law's words shattered my hope. Sure enough, it's not so easy to get my daughter back from the Huo family.
"I've come to you for this." My mother-in-law lit the newspaper I put on the tea table. "Late, do you know how devastating this will bring to the Huo family? Sk's stock will plummet and the reputation of the Huo family accumulated for many years will be disgraced! "
I look at my mother-in-law. I know that this matter has a great impact on the Huo family and sk. But what's the use of coming to me? Can I turn the situation around with my own efforts? I don't have the ability to turn back the time.
I looked at my mother-in-law with helpless eyes, "Mrs. Huo, I deeply regret this incident."
Not only can't help the Huo family, I can't protect myself now.
"Don't you," my mother-in-law looked at me in surprise, "don't you have any idea of doing something for the Huo family?"
I almost laughed. When you questioned me, condemned me and abused me, why didn't you think about my feelings? Don't you think it's funny to turn around and let me work for the Huo family?
I suppressed a sad smile and looked at my mother-in-law, "Mrs. Huo, you have also seen that I am also a victim of this incident. I'm afraid I can't go out in the future."
I don't want to say more about the following words. With my mother-in-law's IQ, I think she can understand what I mean.
"That is, you have taken yourself out of the Huo family now, and don't want to help solve this problem?" My mother-in-law squinted at me and said.
"There's nothing I can do!" I explained helplessly, don't let the people in the center of the vortex stop the wind.
"If I say that there is one thing that only you can do, as long as you do it, it can be solved satisfactorily. Will you agree?" Mother in law asked again.
This is a typical induced question. I'm not a three-year-old anymore. How can I be surrounded by this kind of question?
However, I'm interested in listening to what she said only I can do.
Now, I am still entrusted with such a high responsibility by the Huo family. Should I feel honored?
"If I can do it, then I'll do it." I said, "may I ask Mrs. Huo, what's the matter?"
Listening to me, my mother-in-law's angry face seemed to stretch a little. She approached me, "only you go to hold a press conference to tell us that cheating is your own fault. It has nothing to do with the Huo family. We are also the victims now. In order to protect your reputation, we will use our relationship to block the last incident and take the incident down in your name, so as to minimize the damage to the Huo family and sk. "
I was stunned. How could there be such a brazen person in the world? How could she put forward such a demented request?
Thought too shocked, I looked at my mother-in-law, silent.
My mother-in-law didn't know the meaning of my eyes, and continued to persuade me, "don't worry, we will help you organize the press conference secretly, without spending your money. After the storm completely subsides, although you have nothing to do with the Huo family, we will give you a sum of money, which will be enough for you and your family to spend the rest of their lives. You can leave a city, go abroad and live a better life. "
I suddenly want to laugh. It turns out that the routine of the Huo family has not changed. As long as you use money, you can let others do things you don't want to do, and you can change other people's lives. It used to be Shen Ruoci, but now it's me.
I even began to sympathize with Shen Ruoci. She was delirious at that time. It was with enough money that the Huo family made her completely disappear in the vision of a city.
Sure enough, it's a big business group, and its way of doing things is different from that of ordinary people.
But.
"Madame Huo!" I gathered up all my emotions and looked at the woman with a very tough look. "I'm sorry I can't comply with your proposal. I'm also a human being. I can't be sent by you like a lowly slave. I have self-respect. When you ask me to do these things, have you considered my family, Yan Yan's situation and my mood? "
"As I said, we can give you a large sum of money. The amount depends on you," my mother-in-law was too obsessed with her own thoughts, and she didn't realize what I said. "Your parents can go abroad with you, and we will take good care of your face. It's the best of both worlds. You don't have a choice. "
Anger burning in my heart, looking at my mother-in-law's mouth, I can't help it.
"No, I have a choice," he said, clenching his hands tightly under the table. "I can choose not to carry out your plan."
Maybe she felt that her consideration was perfect. My mother-in-law never thought that I would refuse her. When she heard me say that, she widened her eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Her voice was cold again.
"I can safely give birth to my child and take care of him and grow up by myself. Maybe my reputation will be affected in this incident, but people who believe in me still exist. They will help me, encourage me and make me strong." I said, "I may not be suitable for sales any more. I can transfer to the back office. I can also work in some humble place, but I can survive."
I looked at my mother-in-law and saw that her face was getting darker and darker, but I still said, "or, when the child is born, I will take him to do a paternity test. Whether he is a child of the Huo family or not, I can be sure that he must be my child and I will protect him well."
One breath I never thought of the future said out, I quietly looked at her mother-in-law.
Disappointment, anger, irritability, surprise, several kinds of mood in her face formed an extremely complex expression, for a long time did not say a word.
"Do you really want that?" After a long time, mother-in-law finally asked.
I nodded without hesitation, "yes."
"Ha ha ha ha... I don't know why, the mother-in-law who failed the negotiation gave a strange laugh. Then she stood up and swept the vase on the tea table to the ground.
The vase hit the wooden floor and broke into countless pieces. All the water in it came out, and some of it splashed on me.
Her mother-in-law's face was more terrifying than ferocity. She looked at me and said, "since you want to do this, don't blame me for being rude!"
Probably heard that huge sound, outside the door came Chi Xin's voice, she hammered the door, "sister, what's wrong with sister?"
My mother-in-law opened the door, and Chi Xin rushed in. When she saw the broken glass on the ground, she came over and examined my body carefully. "Are you hurt?"
I shook my head at her. "It's OK. I'm ok."
Shen Ruoci also came to the room, she stood on the side of her mother-in-law, "madam, are you ok?" Then she barked at me like a dog. "I don't know what to do. How dare you hurt Mrs. Huo?"
"What are you talking about?" Chi Xin is discontented and quarrels with Shen Ruoci again. "Do you think your wife is undamaged? Don't spit it out!"
Shen Ruoci stares at her mother-in-law and looks at her carefully. She doesn't seem to see anything. However, if she wants to add to the crime, she will not be sorry for wronging others“ You have hurt the spirit of your wife. Can you afford to pay for it? "
"Shit, bitch, say it again!" Chi Xin is angry. She rolls up her sleeve and rushes towards Shen Ruoci.
I stopped Chi Xin and asked her to have a better life. Then I looked at my mother-in-law and said, "Mrs. Huo, I can't agree to your proposal. Take your time."
"Late, I tell you, since you treat me like this today, you can't have any good fruit to eat! You will regret it The mother-in-law whispered, full of threats.
Chi Xin wants to say something else, so she hears a man's voice in the living room.
My heart beats faster. How can Huo Qingchuan be here?
