Chapter 679: Ungentlemanly Behavior
Late at night, Zhou Mingchen drank a lot of wine and sat alone in the large flat, staring at the river view outside.
He was a little angry at first, but later he realized that Xu Yi was right.
When he was very young, he had to face many problems and had no way to be himself.
It always revolves around the company, the truth about my parents' car accident, and Zhou Minglan...
He didn't know whether this was pathological or not, but bystanders knew it very well.
After returning, Joanna met Jerry immediately and told him everything about her trip to Jiangcheng.
The two sat face to face, Jerry didn't say anything, and Jonah yawned.
"I've done everything I had to do. We grew up together, and this is all I can do for you."
Qiao Na supported herself on the sofa with one hand, "I tried my best."
Jerry asked her, "When did you change your mind?"
"I don't know. It probably started when you said you wanted to give me a child as alms. What I want is not alms, but love for each other."
"I can't give it to you."
Qiao Na nodded. "Yes, I know you can't give it to me, so I think that instead of letting you hate me like this, it's better to let you go and give you a good ending, so that you can regard me as a benefactor. When you think of me in the future, you won't think that I'm as hateful as a devil..."
"Thank you."
Jerry was relieved.
Qiao Na twitched her lips, "Don't be happy too soon. Even if I agree to cancel the engagement with you, your parents may not agree. Also, as for Song Yuqian, I feel that she..."
Speaking of Song Yuqian, Jerry's heart was touched, "What happened to her?"
"I met with her and felt that her attitude was very firm. She didn't want to be disturbed. She said she didn't want to contact anyone or anything related to you..."
Jerry was not nervous at first, but after hearing what she said, he became a little nervous.
Song Yuqian is like this, never dragging her feet and handling things more decisively than a man.
Qiao Na stood up and said, "I will explain everything to my parents when I get back. You can take care of yourself as for your side."
When they stood up, Joanna rubbed her eyes. Jerry also stood up and said gentlemanly, "I'll take you there..."
"No, you have things to do. I'm leaving now, so don't expect anything from me anymore."
After Jonna left, Jerry sat alone in the living room for a long time.
Huo Tingyu was locked in the house by Huo Yunhua and was forbidden to meet or talk with Qi Yu.
Even though they lived under the same roof, the mother and daughter were unable to meet each other.
But this state did not last long. She had to compete in the competition and her father could not keep her.
When it comes to design, her father is very supportive of her career...he wants her to be as good as her mother.
At night, Huo Yunhua came back very early and accompanied Huo Tingyu for dinner. Halfway through the meal, Huo Tingyu asked Huo Yunhua, "Did mom not want to come down, or did you not let her come down to eat in order to avoid me meeting her?"
Huo Yunhua did not answer the question and pretended not to hear it.
Huo Tingyu felt a little suffocated. "Dad, you are not an unreasonable person. Why do you only...?"
Snapped!
Huo Yunhua threw the cutlery in his hand. "I'm already being extremely merciful by not arguing with you about that matter. Why are you challenging my bottom line?"
"It's wrong for you to do this. It doesn't make sense. You'll only make your relationship with your mother worse..."
"Shut up!!"
Huo Yunhua stood up. He would not allow anyone to question his relationship with Qi Yu.
"Do you dare to announce your mother's identity to the public?"
Huo Tingyu's eyes were red. "You said my mother was your wife, but outside, no one knows that you have a wife. Even the few families you are close to only know that my mother is just a woman you raised, a mistress!"
Huo Yunhua slapped her in the face. Upstairs, Qi Yu ran out almost like crazy.
Huo Yunhua could no longer hide the fact that her legs had healed, and he even took away his wheelchair.
The two women blocked Qi Yu and wouldn't let her out. Qi Yu was no match for the two female bodyguards.
There was a sound of something breaking from upstairs, "Huo Yunhua..."
Soon, the sound was blocked by something.
Huo Tingyu had tears welling up in her eyes.
It was enough for her to know that her mother loved her.
She was still wondering if her mother thought she was redundant, or if she disliked her because of her birth.
If that's the case, is she worth doing so much for her?
Her mother didn't even say a few words to her. Was it worth it for her to fall out with her father who had always loved and cared for her and silently supported her?
Suddenly one day, she realized that everything was just her father's wishful thinking and her mother was a victim.
She couldn't wait to protect her.
"Dad, I know you don't like to hear it, but this is the truth. How did I get here? Do you dare to tell me?"
Although she couldn't go out, once she got some clues about what was happening in the house, she would send people to inquire.
"What you did makes me feel ashamed. How can you use your ability to deal with someone who can't resist you at all?"
Huo Tingyu burst into tears. "She clearly broke her leg and had been in such a car accident. How could you do such a cruel thing to her?"
Huo Yunhua flipped the table, the violence in his eyes could hardly be hidden, "Shut up! My business is still..."
"You don't even dare to face it yourself, because you also feel that your behavior is not gentlemanly. Your behavior... is worse than that of a gangster!"
Huo Yunhua raised his hand, and Huo Tingyu took a step forward, "Go ahead and hit me. Even if you kill me, you can't change this fact."
Huo Yunhua did not slap Huo Tingyu, but asked someone to carry Huo Tingyu upstairs.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Huo Yunhua was so angry that he went upstairs.
Qi Yu was wearing a white dress, standing beside the table, with her hair tied up, and her eyes full of hatred...
This was her original appearance, with hatred in her eyes. When she was about to be free, he pulled her back abruptly.
How could she not hate it?
Huo Yunhua's mind went blank. After he entered the room, the person at the door closed it.
He walked forward, pinched Qi Yu's waist, and put her on the table. Qi Yu bit his shoulder hard.
Huo Yunhua didn't move, but gasped heavily, suppressing his inner anger.
"You were satisfied. You got Tingyu involved, letting her know that her father was a beast. You made her feel inferior, and you left her with a psychological trauma. You ended up making things like this..."
Qi Yu cried, Huo Yunhua bent down slightly and held her face, "I beg you, Ah Yu, our family should not torture each other anymore. You have tortured me for so many years, and now you let Tingyu torture me. I am also a human being... Give me one tenth of what you gave to Zhou Yuancheng."
"If you still have any conscience, let me go."
"Let you commit suicide? Let you reunite with Zhou Yuancheng?"
Huo Yunhua forcefully ripped off her clothes, "How dare you go to see him in this state of yours?"
