2474 Never Fight Against Me (4)

-At South Side –

Huo Mian took off her black glasses and white coat as she got ready to get off work.

“I’ll get going, Deputy Director. Drive slowly when you leave. Bye-bye.”

“Okay, you too, Jie

After they bade goodbye to each other, Huo Mian saw Shen Mingxi and Huo Yanyan when she picked up her bag and was about to lock the door of the office.

“Mian…” Huo Yanyan said with red and swollen eyes.

“What’s wrong? Are you guys here for a checkup?” Huo Mian was shocked.

“No, we’re here to see you,” Shen Mingxi said slowly.

“Come in first.” Huo Mian didn’t lock the door. She pushed the door of the office open again and brought the two of them inside.

“Mian, Huo Siqian took my daughter away. You gotta help me save her.”

Huo Yanyan grabbed Huo Mian’s hand as her tears shed again.

“Huo Siqian took Tiantian away? What… is going on?” Huo Mian was confused.

She poured two cups of water for Shen Mingxi and Huo Yanyan. Huo Yanyan soon described the incident while crying.

After hearing Huo Yanyan’s words, Huo Mian remained silent, and there was a solemn look was on her face.

“Huo Mian… I hope you can help Yanyan.” Shen Mingxi only cared for Huo Yanyan but forgot how difficult it would be for Huo Mian.

Young Master Shen, this… is not as easy as you think. First of all, I have to ask you a question. Did you guys… do anything to Huo Siqian recently? With my understanding of him, if he wanted to get rid of Yanyan, he would’ve done it a long time ago and wouldn’t wait until now. Unless… did you guys take the initiative and provoke him?” Huo Mian asked seriously.

Shen Mingxi and Huo Yanyan looked at each other and admitted by nodding.

“We did do some things behind his back and made the Huo Corporation’s stock market slide… I thought… he wouldn’t find out we did it because he has a lot of enemies,” Huo Yanyan said, feeling a bit guilty.

You wanted to make him think that Qin Chu did it. Am I right?” Huo Mian asked calmly.

“No, that’s not what I planned,” Huo Yanyan shook her hand and explained immediately.

“It’s fine. It’s only normal that you think that way. The whole world knows that Huo Siqian’s opponent is Qin Chu. That’s why no matter who does something that harms the Huo Corporation, it can be mistaken that Qin Chu was the person behind this. I warned you already that Huo Siqian isn’t easy to deal with. You didn’t listen to me and thought I was afraid of him. What just happened? Your kid is in trouble, and you’re surprised?”

Huo Yanyan didn’t say anything, crying with her head down and listening to Huo Mian’s scolding.

However, Shen Mingxi, who always defended Huo Yanyan, argued, “Huo Mian, it’s not the time to scold Yanyan. At a critical moment like now, it’s more important to save the kid.”

“Do you think it’s as simple as Huo Siqian wanting to meet me? Do you guys know that my husband… arranged many people to protect me in case Huo Siqian decides to kidnap me one day? Wouldn’t I be endangering myself if I go and see him?”

“He… probably won’t harm you, right?” Shen Mingxi paused because he didn’t seem to understand what was going on between Huo Siqian and Huo Mian.

Yanyan should know better whether or not Huo Siqian will harm me…” Huo Mian glanced at Huo Yanyan coldly.

Yes, I know, but I… don’t have another way. Mian, I beg you… I can’t lose my daughter…” Huo Yanyan got up and kneeled to kowtow to Huo Mian continuously.

Shen Mingxi went to support her. “Get up, Yanyan. What are you doing?”

“Yanyan, you just said that you can’t lose your daughter. What about me? I’m also a mother. If something happens to me, what about my two daughters?” Huo Mian asked word by word, and she felt horrible as well. She knew saying this would make her seem too indifferent, but she was also stating the fact.
