he slowly stood up and looked down at her with a condescending gaze. "i thought you had been by my side for quite a while. why don't you understand me now?"

"what?" obviously, she didn't understand what he meant by that. clenching her teeth tightly, she slowly stepped on her pride in front of him.

"don't tell me about what didn't become a given. for example, we are getting engaged, and this thing... i could change my mind at any time because i was in a bad mood. it's like right now, i don't really want to see you anymore. " he thought that she was the most considerate and sensible woman among all the women around him, but he never thought that after getting used to the rich and powerful girls, her domineering aura had already penetrated deep into his bones. even though she could pretend to be a little white rabbit in front of him, she would become like a cat waving her claws in front of others.

he had never liked strong women, especially those who usually pretended to be weak.

due to what he had just said, lily's expression became extremely ugly.

his words were no less deadly than a slap to her face in public. how could she, who had great self-esteem, endure such humiliation?

what do you mean, don't say things that don't become a given? did he mean that he had no intention of betrothal?

what's more, he actually said that he could change his mind at any time because he was in a bad mood. was marriage a child's play? how could he say such irresponsible words?

the worst thing was, she didn't want to see her anymore.

it seemed like he was the one who did the wrong thing?

"jiajia, do you love me or not? have you ever loved me? do you know how hurtful it is for you to say such words? "

her lips trembled and her eyes were filled with tears. her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she looked as if she was about to cry.

most of the time, the lily was still as gentle as water.

right now, she looked especially pitiful.

tears rolled down her face. when they fell on the ground, they were already freezing cold.

"you know, i never liked women asking questions like that." he did not look at her, but only moved her to the side. it was as if her tears had no meaning to him now.

"alright, i won't ask you. since you don't want to see me now, then i'll leave first." she sniffed, wiped the tears from her face, straightened her back, and headed for the door.

huo jiu didn't urge her to stay. he went straight to the study upstairs. he knew he yi meng definitely wasn't asleep yet …

it looked like this little guy was going to have another long chat with him.

"daddy, i'm angry." he yi meng didn't even try to hide her emotions.

"yeah, i know." he looked at the face that resembled he mei xin's and his own, expressionlessly. he was thinking about something.

"don't you think you should apologize to me and mommy?" her stubborn little face was slightly raised. it was as though she was here to seek justice for he mei xin.

he suddenly pursed his lips and looked at he yi meng thoughtfully. "i underestimated your iq. you're much smarter than your stupid mommy."

"daddy, what did you say? i don't understand. " she didn't understand, didn't understand anything.

"enough, stop pretending in front of me. speak, you already knew i was back, why didn't you tell everyone? what are you planning? " huo jianji did not want to play he yimeng. in his eyes, her little trick was to play with a big knife in front of guan gong.

"daddy, aren't you the same? you used mommy." seeing that a little of her thoughts had been exposed, she yimeng quickly countered. don't think he doesn't have a clue.

his eyebrows creased as he looked at xiao budian with interest.

"that day, when i came to look for dad in the study, he wasn't there. then, i accidentally saw that dad's computer was not turned off, and there was a new e-mail on it. it was about green light world's and star moon group's strategic deployment of joining forces to enter the real estate market." her large eyes rolled around. that small appearance of hers was obviously telling huo jianji that she knew a lot of things about him.

"kid, has your mommy ever taught you that knowing too much is not good for you?" huo jiabao's face suddenly darkened as he glared at his own daughter. was he mei born with a monster? such a small thing could actually a.n.a.lyze things.

"my mommy only taught me that." then she said, "daddy, actually, i think your idea is pretty good. aunt baihe hates mommy to death right now, and mommy is responsible for the first real estate project project that the two companies are working on. this way, the collaboration between the two families would be interrupted because of aunt baihe, so the position of the leader of the huo group won't be shaken."

"you can see it clearly." he looked at his daughter in surprise. was this kid really only four and a half years old? there were too many things she understood. how could someone as silly as she meixin cultivate such an outstanding business genius?

"i happened to read a new article on financial affairs that day and i had an interview with you. didn't you say that even though your current focus is on the huo newsletter, the recent boom in real estate and your relationship with uncle su had already become a legend in the industry when the two families teamed up?"

hearing this, huo jiabao laughed.

as expected of his daughter. this thinking, this reaction … she meixin, if i were to say that you should be crying after using you, would you be so angry that you would vomit blood if you knew that your own daughter had schemed against you?

the smile spread across her face, and huo jiu suddenly walked up to he yimeng, picked her up, and pinched her cheeks a few times. he asked, "tell me, if your mommy knew that we had schemed against her like that, how would she react?"

"well, it would be very, very angry. just ignore me for a week. however, father, tonight, seeing how calm he is, i'm afraid that he has already guessed our plan and will come up with a plan. " she yimeng had a serious expression on her face. at this moment, she was like an advisor to the emperor. at such a young age, her mind had already become extremely mature.

"what will you do if your mommy goes against your daddy with wu wei in the future?" huo jianji unrestrainedly gave he huan meng a choice. he didn't want his smart daughter to come and deal with him together with others in the future.
