When Zhao Yueran heard this, she hurriedly took the teacup over and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't drink tea right now."

Huo Qiang was well aware of his grandson's personality. Although he was angry in his heart, he was also unwilling to refute Huo Qiang's words in front of outsiders, "It's alright. I can't even remember if he didn't say it. He's old."

Huo Yelin stepped forward to support him, "Let me send you back to your room to rest." Zhao Yueran sat to the side, but he had never looked at her.

Zhao Yueran seemed to have not noticed anything, smiled and agreed, "That's right, it's getting late. Please rest early."

Huo Yelin helped his grandfather up and told Wen Chong, who was standing by the side, "Send Miss Zhao back."

"Yes."

"Wait." Zhao Yueran took a step forward, "I came this time because I have urgent matters to discuss with you. It won't be long."

Huo Qiang patted his grandson's hand, telling him to stay and then went back upstairs to rest.

They sat side by side on the sofa, not far apart, like strangers from two different worlds.

Zhao Yueran spoke first, "Don't you want to explain something to me?"

"Explain what?" Huo Yelin leaned against the sofa with one hand on the armrest.

Zhao Yueran saw the bite marks on his wrist and her pupils constricted. Her hand that was holding the teacup began to tremble as she advised herself that no matter what, she could not lose control like she did earlier. She could not let it go forever.

"Although we're not married yet, everyone in the circle knows that I'm your fiancée. How can you do that kind of thing with my sister in front of me?"

Huo Yelin finally turned his head to look at her. "So you're saying that it's fine if you just follow someone else?"

Her indifferent tone was like an ice blade that stabbed into Zhao Yueran's heart. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, but her tone was still very firm.

"I'm your wife, and I have the right to deny you the right to do such a disgraceful thing!"

"In terms of disgrace, who can compare with your Zhao Family?" The corners of Huo Yelin's mouth curled up. He got up and walked over to her, looking down at her condescendingly. "You want to marry into the Huo Family with just a jade pendant? Aren't you looking down on me too much?"

Zhao Yueran's hair stood on end as she was pressed down by his shadow. However, she knew that she could not retreat. She was no weaker than Zhao Yilin, she just needed a chance. If she could succeed in becoming Mrs. Howe, and climb into his bed, the man would soon be able to throw away Zhao Yilin and return to his hometown of gentleness.

She looked up into his eyes, her expression weak and pitiful, her eyes filled with tears, "I like you, I don't want you to be tricked by other women, is that wrong? Was it wrong of me to come here and try to persuade my husband to turn back? "

"That's right, but your acting is too bad. It can't even compare to a third-rate actor in the company."

Zhao Yueran cried, "You have wronged me, wrongly accused me! The one who kissed me was my mother, not me! Didn't I also get sent over by a marriage contract? "

Huo Yelin bent over and softly said, "Then it's not too late for you to regret it now."

"No, I truly love you. Time will prove everything."

The woman in front of him was crying, her voice soft and pitiful. However, Huo Yelin's mind was wandering, and he missed the time he had spent with Zhao Yilin.

Finally, tired, he straightened up and said, "Go back where you came from. You can be your Mrs. Howe, but if you ever interfere in my affairs like you did today. " He picked up the white porcelain teacup on the table, and with a push of his hand, the cup cracked and fell onto the carpet, "You and the Zhao Family will end up like this teacup. "Wen Chong, see our guest out."

Huo Yelin left the living room without looking back.

Zhao Yueran stared at the teacup fragments scattered in front of her feet, the veins in her hand popping out as she gripped the armrest. She couldn't figure out what kind of method Zhao Yelin had used to cause Huo Yelin to have such a deep enmity towards her. Since she was young, she had been able to get anything she wanted.

In the early hours of the next morning, Zhao Yilin received a call saying that Grandma was dying.

She hastily felt that the Zhao Family villa was blocked by two servants outside the door.

"Let me in. I need to see my grandma for the last time. I'll leave as soon as I see her."

Zhao Yilin kept begging, but the two servants couldn't bear it either. They had heard the old lady calling her granddaughter's name while she was unconscious.

"Eldest Miss, it's not that we don't want you to go in. Don't make things difficult for us, hurry up and go back. "

Zhao Yilin thought of Bao Yanyun and Zhao Yueran, and became anxious and furious. She immediately pushed open the door with all her might, "Open the door! Why don't you let me in on my grandma's behalf! "

The door suddenly opened and Zhao Yilin stumbled to sit on the ground. Zhao Yueran crossed her arms in front of the door, a gentle smile on her face. "It's not that we don't want you to see Grandma, but the doctor said that she needs to be quiet and not see anyone."

Zhao Yilin rushed to get in, but she pushed him away, "Sister, let me in. I know that you are angry, as long as you let me see my grandmother, I will agree to anything, and you can take it out on me, no matter what! "

"Really?" Zhao Yueran looked completely wronged as she said, "Actually, what I want you to taste the most is the feeling of being abandoned by a man. You can even do that kind of thing, yet you have the face to come and beg me. "Oh, what if I strip you naked and throw you out on the street?"

Zhao Yelin understood her character. If she did not give in completely, she would never be allowed in. "Sister, look at me, I have nothing. Do you think Huo Yelin might like me? He only treats me as a plaything! "

So that's how it was. Zhao Yueran looked at her dejected appearance, and her expression finally relaxed. However, deep in her heart, she was still resentful, "Then what about my suggestion?" Could it be that you want to lie to me? "

Time passed slowly, and Zhao Yilin suddenly felt flustered. If her grandmother had left, she would have lost everything. What was the point of being dignified and chaste? She looked into Zhao Yueran's eyes and clenched her fists, saying word by word, "I can agree to your conditions, as long as you let me in to meet Grandma."

Although Zhao Yueran was still angry on the outside, she was actually amused on the inside. "Alright, I hope you'll keep your word." She stepped out of the door and Zhao Yilin rushed in.

She had never felt that the Zhao family's stairs were so long, or that her grandmother's room was so far away. When she was young, every time she was abused by Bao Yanyun, she would run to her grandma's house. Not only was there warmth and a sense of security, there was also her faint memories of her mother.

When her mother died, she was still young and the people around her were crying. Only she was playing with a doll and wondered how long her mother had slept before waking up.

Later, her grandmother told her that people would die, and they would leave forever, never to see each other again.

"Will Grandma die?"

"Yea, grandma will die too. Actually, everyone will die as well."

The moment Zhao Yilin opened the door, she heard the sharp screech of an electrocardiograph. In the end, she didn't see her grandma for the last time.
