What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

70

Since the marriage alliance between the Jiang and Qin families, Huo Xiaozheng's attitude towards the couple had completely changed.

If previously, Huo Xiaozheng's dislike for Jiang Suyuan stemmed from his unrequited pursuit of Qin Zhiyi, now his hostility towards the Jiang family originated from his own daughter—Huo Guining.

In Huo Xiaozheng's heart, besides Shi Lili, he himself and Jiang Suyuan were the culprits responsible for Ningning's tragedy.

Although the Jiang family had publicly announced at a press conference that they would give part of their shares to Huo Guining as compensation, Huo Xiaozheng did not accept it.

Afterwards, due to Huo Guining's health condition, Huo Xiaozheng didn't have much interaction with the Jiang family.

Half a month ago, Huo Xiaozheng received intelligence that the Yun City government intended to auction off a piece of land.

An insider claimed that due to some uncontrollable factors, the price of that land was lower than the actual market price.

The specific reasons were unclear.

But this piqued Huo Xiaozheng's interest.

The Huo family had started their business in Yun City, and as their business grew, they gradually relocated to South City.

Ningning's health had always been poor.

Before Huo Jing proposed participating in a parent-child reality show, Huo Xiaozheng had already intended to take Ningning away from this environment for a while.

The land that Yun City was auctioning happened to be not far from the Huo family's old residence in Yun City.

Huo Xiaozheng planned to buy this land and build an amusement park or a holiday resort as a gift for Ningning.

His recent impromptu business trip with Xi Chuan was also for the Yun City auction.

Now, hearing Xi Chuan say that the Jiang family was also interested in getting involved, a cold glint appeared in Huo Xiaozheng's eyes.

"I hadn't heard before that the Jiang family was interested in projects in Yun City."

Xi Chuan on the other end of the phone was also puzzled: "The Jiang family's documents were only submitted on the deadline day. There wasn't even a whisper of it before."

Huo Xiaozheng's lips pressed into a thin line: "Investigate it."

Xi Chuan responded with an affirmative.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Xiaozheng leaned back in his executive chair.

The land in Yun City didn't have high commercial value.

The local GDP was low, and even if they invested in building a shopping mall, it would likely not be profitable.

Huo Xiaozheng couldn't understand why Jiang Suyuan would suddenly be interested in this piece of land.

Could it be that he was merely trying to cause trouble for him?

Huo Xiaozheng furrowed his brows.

In stark contrast to Huo Xiaozheng's mood, on the other side, Huo Guining was in her element in the art studio.

Thanks to Huo Xiaozheng's financial resources, Huo Guining used paints without any hesitation.

She stayed alone in the studio until nearly ten o'clock.

When Huo Xiaozheng quietly walked into the room, he thought she had already gone to bed.

Unexpectedly, the small bed was neatly made, with no sign of her.
