What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

"Tell me, what's the current situation?" Old Master Huo furrowed his brow, his eyes fixed on Huo Xiaozheng.

Huo Xiaozheng took a small sip of tea, savoring its fragrant aroma and slightly bitter taste.

He set down the cup and said, "The company's situation hasn't been good lately. Revenue hasn't increased in any of our major branches, and some are even seeing a decline."

Huo Yanqin asked, "The overall economic situation isn't great either. Could it be due to policy changes?"

Huo Xiaozheng shook his head, his expression calm and unruffled.

Seeing that he seemed to have a grasp on the situation, Old Master Huo changed the subject.

"What's going on with little Ning?"

At this question, Huo Yanqin and Huo Jing both turned to look at Huo Xiaozheng.

Huo Guining had fainted at Huo Yanqin's house and been taken to the hospital. After discharge, she was brought directly back to Panlong Bay.

Huo Xiaozheng had been vague about the details.

As a result, neither Huo Yanqin nor Huo Jing knew the full story.

"Ning has some health issues," Huo Xiaozheng said.

Old Master Huo asked gravely, "What kind of issues are we talking about?"

At this point, Huo Xiaozheng had no choice but to explain Ning's condition in detail to everyone.

Huo Jing exclaimed in shock, "I thought it was strange how you suddenly became such a doting father when Ning returned. So this is the reason behind it."

Huo Xiaozheng didn't refute her statement.

Huo Yanqin inquired, "Since Ning's psychologist suggested hypnosis, does that mean it's the most efficient treatment method with the best results?"

Huo Xiaozheng nodded. "I initially thought we had plenty of time, and that if I just accompanied Ning patiently, she would eventually get better."

"But recently, I've noticed that Ning seems to be under a lot of pressure about needing to depend on me to stay healthy."

Huo Jing interjected, "Is that why Ning lied, to make you think she'd be fine even when she was with Yueze?"

Huo Xiaozheng didn't deny it.

He continued slowly, "I've already discussed it with Ning's psychologist. We plan to start hypnotherapy after the Spring Festival."

Huo Yanqin voiced his concern, "Ning has a strong sense of pride. If you've really decided to do this, it might be better to keep it from her."

This was exactly what worried Huo Xiaozheng as well.

Ning's health had been problematic multiple times, and beyond that, Huo Xiaozheng had noticed that she displayed some obsessive behaviors in daily life.

For instance, every morning after getting up, she insisted on making her bed meticulously according to her own habits.

If even the slightest detail was off, she would tirelessly unmake the bed and start over.

She had always had an unusual enthusiasm for food, eating when happy, eating when sad, and eating even more when anxious.

This explained her voracious appetite.

Moreover, once she got into the zone while painting, she would forget to eat or sleep.

If anyone interrupted her, her instinctive reaction was full of hostility.
