What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

86

The sudden noise startled everyone in the hall.

Huo Xiaozheng frowned and quickly walked up to her: "Ning Ning, why are you here?"

Huo Guining pulled Huo Xiaozheng behind her protectively.

Huo Xiaozheng found it somewhat amusing.

Her words came out rapidly, without a trace of her usual childish tone, and even carried a sharp edge.

"Since you're already married, please have some basic trust in each other."

"Jiang Suyuan, don't you get tired of constantly suspecting others of coveting your wife?"

"Qin Zhiyi, do you really enjoy the sense of security that comes from being doubted?"

"Is my dad just a prop in your love play?"

Huo Guining clenched her fists tightly and declared emphatically: "And you, old grandfather, talking about my dad needing to leave your daughter and son-in-law alone - please! I'm the one who needs to ask you to leave my dad alone!"

"Is your life meaningless without my dad's involvement?"

"You people!" Huo Guining shouted with all her might, her eyes red with anger: "What on earth do you think you are?!"

Huo Xiaozheng hugged Huo Guining tightly, gently patting her back.

Feeling her body still trembling, Huo Xiaozheng comforted her: "It's okay, Ning Ning. Dad hasn't been bullied, everything's fine."

"The adults just raised their voices a bit, they're not fighting. Don't worry, okay?"

Despite his words, Huo Xiaozheng's gaze towards the people in the hall was as cold as poison, sweeping darkly over each person.

Huo Guining clutched Huo Xiaozheng's clothes tightly. She wasn't scared; she was simply furious.

The plot kept trying to correct Huo Xiaozheng's behavior, forcing him into inevitable conflicts with Jiang Suyuan and Qin Zhiyi.

But why should it be this way?

Zuo Qinfang and Huo Yueze were delayed by friends on the way and arrived a bit late.

As they entered the hall, they saw Huo Xiaozheng hugging Ning Ning tenderly.

Huo Yueze: ?? What happened to little sister?

Being scolded by a 5-year-old child was more than even the well-mannered Old Mr. Qin could handle.

Before Huo Yueze and Zuo Qinfang could grasp the situation,

Old Mr. Qin raised his cane, pointing it at Huo Guining with surprising vigor: "Insolent child, how dare you!!!"

Though confused, Huo Yueze immediately stepped in front of Ning Ning.

"Grandpa Qin, please speak civilly. Don't be rude to my sister!"

Seeing them all acting this way, Old Mr. Qin took a deep breath, clutching his chest and calling out, "Medicine..."

Seeing her father in this state, Qin Zhiyi became furious.

She shed her earlier soft, sorrowful demeanor and spoke harshly: "I understand you're young and lack proper upbringing, but the Qin family is not a place for a little brat like you to casually insult!"

Her words were aimed directly at Huo Guining, as if calling for backup.

Zuo Qinfang was displeased hearing this. She sneered, "My brother-in-law came to pay his respects to Old Mr. Qin out of courtesy."
