Chapter 331: Agree To Help
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
In her nervousness, Huo You actually felt a little panicky. She seemed to not
dare to face Ding Rong’s answer and said hurriedly, “Tm sorry, just take it that
Tm spouting nonsense. There’s no need to pay attention to me
With that, Huo You quickly turned around and turned the door handle, looking
like she wanted to flee.
Behind her, Ding Rong sighed slowly and said in a soft voice, “Tm very sorry to
have frightened you at the Hill Family’s banquet. Take this as my
compensation for you. I’l act according to your wishes as if the two of us still
have feelings for each other, allowing you to use this as a bargaining chip to
exchange for what you want.”
Huo You stood rooted to the ground. After a long while, she turned around and
looked at Ding Rong in disbelief. “How How could you possibly agree to this?
Don’t you hate such methods the most?
That’s right, I hate all kinds of underhanded schemes and plots. But I can’t
help it. This is your true nature. I wasn’t able to change even after raising you
for 18 years. Now, Im even less qualified to criticize you.”
A trace of sadness flashed across Ding Rong’s eyes, which seemed to be filled
with pity and pain. “Tll help you, but I have conditions too.
Huo You pursed her lips and asked, “What conditions do you have?
Ding Rong slowly restrained her emotions, tried to maintain her composure,
then said in a business-like manner, I request that you not use this asa
bargaining chip to do anything that will damage the Hill Family’s reputation or
harm Tiantian. Other than obtaining a say in the Huo Family and protecting
yourself in the marriage between you and He Yu, I won’t allow you to use your
relationship with me to swindle others.”
Huo You opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to retort that she
wasn’t that kind of person.
However, she didn’t say it out loud because Ding Rong knew her better than
Huo You thought.
Huo You was indeed someone who didn’t have a high moral bottom line. If one
day, she realized that she could easily get benefits from others by exploiting
her relationship with Ding Rong, how could she not use this to swindle others?
Huo You’s heart was filled with sadness. Under Ding Rong’s gaze, she slowly
nodded and promised, “Tll agree and abide by this condition.”
More than half a year ago, they were still in a loving mother and filial daughter
relationship. But now, they could only converse with this kind of negotiation
and transaction method.
Ding Rong was filled with emotions, but she had to put things bluntly. “Huo
You, this is my condition. If I find out that you’ve violated this request, I won’t
let you share any more of my glory. Do you understand?
Huo You was silent. She knew that from this moment onwards, she had
completely lost the only mother who had been good to her. The memories
between them were no longer warm but shrouded with a layer of cold
calculation.
She nodded sadly. “T understand.
Before Ding Rong left the dressing room, she only left Huo You with one last
word. “I hope you can get what you want and that you’ll do well by yourself in
the future.
Half a year ago, when she left Ding Rong and returned to the Huo Family, Huo
You hadn’t had a formal goodbye with Ding Rong. It was because felt guilty and
also that her heart was only filled with yearmings for the future.
Today, on the day of Huo You’s 19th birthday, in a quiet dressing room in the
bustling banquet hall, the mother and daughter, who had shared warm and
beautiful times, and also had each other’s hatred, officially bade each other
farewell.
Huo You knew that the words “do well by yourself were Ding Rong’s final
advice to her. From now on, they really had nothing to do with each other
anymore.
Huo You only felt empty inside. When she returned to the banquet, she had
relied on her instincts to smile and greet the other guests
She was in a bit of a daze and didn’t care if others could tell that she was ina
bad state.
A man who was half a head taller than her got close to her and wrapped his
arm around Huo You’s waist. After a long while, Huo You finally realized that
this person was He Yu, who had changed into a spare set of clothes.
It was rare for Huo You to be a little slow. She said slowly, “Were you talking to
me just now? Tm sorry, I didn’t hear what you said
He Yu stared at Huo You strangely for a long while. His gaze swept across her
face and he realized that her makeup had returned to normal. There was
nothing wrong with her appearance either, but she was still ina daze. He
wondered what she had gone through in the dressing room..
