Chapter 257: Huo Jiansheng’s Face Stinks

Chapter 257

"Don't cry, Duo Duo. Mom will come to see you right away."

Hearing her daughter cry, Li Man felt very anxious and quickly comforted her.

"Mom, come quickly, they're all bullying me!" Huang Duo Duo sobbed, struggling for breath.

Li Man felt extremely distressed and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, Mom will come right away. Don't cry, be a good girl."

After hanging up the phone, Li Man apologized apologetically to Huo Jian Sheng, saying, "I'm sorry, Huo Jian Sheng, I may not be able to have dinner with you. My daughter has something going on, and I have to go there now."

"What happened? Let me take you there," Huo Jian Sheng quickly offered.

"It's probably a conflict with her classmates. It's fine, I'll take a taxi there myself," Li Man replied.

Upon hearing Li Man's words, Huo Jian Sheng's face immediately darkened.

"I've already paid for the clothes. I'll treat you to dinner another day," Li Man handed the packaged clothes to Huo Jian Sheng and said.

Huo Jian Sheng reluctantly took the clothes but insisted, "Let me take you there. It's peak hours now, and it's difficult to get a taxi."

Li Man wanted to refuse, but it was indeed difficult to find a taxi at this time, and she didn't want her daughter to wait too long, so she agreed, "Okay, thank you."

"Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, just say it. Why do you have to lie to me?" Huang Duo Duo's angry voice came through the phone.

Li Man quickly said, "I'm on my way, there's heavy traffic now, I can't do anything about it. Can you wait for me?"

Although she was unhappy with her daughter's tone, she patiently explained.

Huang Duo Duo's voice was loud, and Huo Jian Sheng, sitting beside her, heard it too. He glanced at the phone with dissatisfaction, his jaw tight, as if suppressing something.

"Can't you drive faster? Is the traffic jam that long? I think you just don't want to come!" Li Man helplessly explained, "There's heavy traffic now, I really can't go any faster."

"I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't make it in ten minutes, don't bother coming!" Huang Duo Duo said before hanging up the phone.

Li Man stared at her cellphone, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her.

Back then, because she had to take care of her mother-in-law, she didn't have much energy to take care of her daughter, so she sent her to a boarding school.

As a result, her daughter became less dependent on her and grew distant.

Huo Jian Sheng couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Your daughter really needs a good scolding. If she were my daughter, I would definitely give her a good beating. How can a daughter talk to her mother like that?"

Li Man's eyes darkened, and she let out a sigh without saying a word.
