He Yu combed his fingers through his hair and flipped his fringe over his head in frustration.
He Yu didn’t appreciate Huo You’s rare gentleness. He pulled a towel around his waist and broke into a sarcastic smile.
“Isn’t it too late to act like a chaste girl now?”
Huo You hadn’t expected to hear such hurtful words from He Yu’s mouth. Her face flushed red with anger. “He Yu, what do you take me for?!”
“You have to ask yourself first. What do you take me for?”
He Yu sneered and pinched Huo You’s chin, staring at her face that was wearing a distorted expression from the pain. “Huo You, you and your father have always treated me like a fool who has fallen in love. Do you think I don’t know that?”
“I didn’t…” Huo You argued weakly.” Why would you think that? I’m clearly in a serious relationship with you. “
It was so boring. He Yu pushed Huo You’s face away in frustration and glared at the woman on the bed who was half-covered up.
“You’re just treating me as a tool to achieve your goals. I’ve never thought of dating you either. It’s better if we’re honest with each other.”
Huo You was flung onto her side on the bed by him, tears welling up in her eyes. She had to bite her lip to stop herself from crying out loud.
Her motive for getting together with He Yu back then wasn’t simple, but they had already entered the most intimate relationship in the world. Huo You would look forward to her and He Yu’s future.
However, Huo You hadn’t expected that He Yu, who had always been gentle and kept a low stand in front of her, would suddenly reveal his true colors.
“Oh, you’re really sad?”
He Yu sat by the bed and seemed to find it amusing. He ran his fingers through Huo You’s long hair and looked at the woman, whose shoulders were trembling slightly.
Huo You finally calmed down and slapped He Yu’s hand away. Although her eyes were still red, she didn’t look too disheveled.
She said coldly, “He Yu, I’m not a tool for you to vent your emotions. You got angry elsewhere and now you’re transferring your anger to me. This behavior is really contemptible!”
Huo You thought that she was about to face He Yu’s anger, but unexpectedly, He Yu laughed instead.
“Hahaha, haha… Women are indeed the most unreasonable creatures in the world. It’s really an eye-opener for me.”
He Yu smiled as he reached out to grab the back of Huo You’s head. Huo You wanted to break free, but she felt as if his hand was gripping her skull tightly, preventing her from moving.
He Yu grabbed Huo You’s head and inched closer to her face, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Huo You, do you think I’m treating you as a tool to vent my anger? No, no, no, I’m not the kind of incapable person who would vent his frustrations on others…”
Huo You struggled hard and pressed against He Yu’s chest, trying to push him away. “Let go of me!”
He Yu was completely unmoved. “Do you know that it’s all because of you, stupid girl, that I’ve missed the huge benefits that I was about to get my hands on? At the same time, I also lost face in front of others. It’s all because of your foolish thoughts of being unable to tolerate a fake young miss!”
He Yu threw Huo You onto the bed. Huo You felt a sharp pain in her head as if a lock of her hair had been pulled off. She held onto the back of her head in pain and curled up.
This scene reminded Huo You of her past life. In her past life, she had gotten married to a rich second-generation heir of a certain family under the arrangement of Mr. and Mrs. Huo. That marriage was filled with fights and violence. In her previous life, her husband was a domineering man who would beat her up whenever he felt unhappy.
The scenes from her past life and this time almost overlapped, making Huo You feel like she couldn’t tell the present time. She was curled up tightly, her body trembling slightly, and she looked badly frightened.
He Yu had wanted to settle things with this stupid woman. After all, in order to help Huo You chase Huo Tian out of Qingli High School, He Yu had worked hard for so long and ended up with nothing. This made him very frustrated.
“Hey, stop with the act. Hey, Huo You…”
He pushed Huo You’s shoulder impatiently and realized that she didn’t seem to be pretending.
“Damn it, could she have some kind of mental illness? How unlucky!”
He Yu frowned in frustration. He ignored Huo You, who seemed to be ill, and went to take a shower in another room.
When He Yu came out from the shower and changed, he realized that Huo You had returned to normal. She had put on her clothes and was sitting upright on the sofa.
He Yu sat far away from Huo You. “What’s wrong with you? I wonder if it’s contagious. Forget it, I’ll go for a physical examination later.”
Huo You’s face turned pale at He Yu’s blunt disdain. She gritted her teeth and said, “There’s no need to worry. I’m very healthy.”
He Yu was a little worried that Huo You was suffering from some kind of mental illness. He was afraid that he might agitate her into doing something stupid.
Hence, he asked patiently, “Why did you call me to ask me out today?”
He Yu was the only business partner that Huo You could rely on right now. Hence, no matter how angry she was, she could only suppress her anger.
“I have a plan to deal with Si Huan.. I think you’ll be interested…”
