Huo Mian didn't speak, just looked at him quietly...
"She must have put on a bitter show first...crying that I captured her daughter and what a bastard I was, right?"
"Isn't what she said wrong?" Huo Mian asked coldly.
"And when it comes to the emotional part, she might kowtow to you and kneel down, begging you to come to me, right?"
Huo Mian bit her lower lip and said nothing, but Huo Siqian did guess correctly.
"I'm guessing, if she still can't convince you in the end, she will use her trump card. If I remember correctly, the last time Huo Siyi kidnapped your twins, it was she who came forward to save the children, so Now I must use this incident to convince you to repay her kindness, right?"
"It seems that you know Huo Yanyan very well." Huo Mian somewhat admired Huo Siqian's guess.
Because everything he said was correct, it was indeed like this. Huo Yanyan cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. She had exhausted all means.
Although Huo Mian was reluctant, she still came. This is the most principled part of Huo Mian's life.
She has never been such a heartless person...
"Of course I know her. If you hadn't been relatively close to her before and always defended her, do you think I could have kept her until now after Huo Siyi died? She is quite good, but she doesn't know how to behave, and instead hooks up with the Shen family That brainless person then joined forces and used some tricks to deal with me. It was really an eyesore.”
"So you arrested someone's daughter and threatened her?" Huo Mian glared at him.
"Isn't this the most direct and effective way?" Huo Siqian spread his hands with an indifferent look on his face.
"What I hate the most is your smug face. You think you are doing nothing wrong, but I will never agree with your actions."
"It doesn't matter. I don't need your approval or understanding. It doesn't matter." Huo Siqian smiled.
At this time, the waiters began to serve dishes one after another, and all of them were seafood.
Lobster, abalone, crab, anchovies, scallops, you name it...
"They are all very fresh. Eat them while they are hot." Huo Siqian took the initiative to pick up the prawns and peel them, then carefully handed the shrimps to Huo Mian.
Only Huo Mian could make Huo Siqian go to such great lengths to please her.
"Huo Siqian, I'm not here to eat with you today, I'm just here to repay Huo Yanyan's kindness."
"I know," he said.
At this time, Huo Mian's cell phone rang. It was Huo Yanyan.
She raised her hand to answer.
"Xiao Mian, the security office of our community called and said that the child has returned. I... thank you very much this time."
"No, as long as the child is fine," Huo Mian said and hung up the phone.
Huo Mian stood up and said, "Since everything is fine, I'm leaving."
"Xiao Mian... won't you sit down and have a meal with me?" Huo Siqian asked to stay.
"You know how much I dislike you." Huo Mian turned around and looked at him calmly.
"Of course I know, but this doesn't affect my love for you, just like... these years, I've seen you treat everyone around you well, but reject me..."
"There's really no point in talking about this. Just be straightforward about what you want. You should know that if I go back late, Qin Chu will definitely come to me, and then..." Huo Mian said this without continuing.
"Ha, you think I'm afraid of him?" Huo Siqian laughed.
"You are not afraid, but he will never let you go. If you feel that your comfortable life has been too long and you want to find some excitement, you can give it a try."
"Xiao Mian... I really like the way you can stay rational all the time..." Huo Siqian looked at her with some obsession.
Huo Mian remained silent...
"Okay, Xiao Mian, let's make a bet, okay?" Huo Siqian said with a smile while peeling the crab's shell.
