What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

88

The girl was stunned.

"Who am I?"

Huo Guining laughed.

"Why are you asking me about myself now?"

The girl changed the subject: "What happened to your dad? Why does he need you to save him?"

Huo Guining fell silent.

After a while, she said: "Nothing's happened to him, but I'm afraid something will."

After all, that was the ending written in the book.

The Huo family going bankrupt, and Huo Xiaozheng ultimately meeting an accidental death.

Although Huo Xiaozheng had loved the wrong person, he didn't deserve to die.

Even though she had only interacted with Huo Xiaozheng for just over a month, he wasn't an utterly despicable person.

Moreover, she quite liked this father.

If she could choose her birth, she'd be quite willing to choose Huo Xiaozheng as her father.

The girl asked curiously: "Why are you worried something will happen to him?"

Huo Guining replied matter-of-factly: "Because he's always entangled with Jiang Suyuan and Qin Zhiyi."

She relaxed and rolled over on the grass, hearing the babbling of the stream nearby, its tinkling sounds mingling with birdsong, making one feel particularly at ease.

The girl asked: "What does Huo Xiaozheng potentially getting into trouble have to do with Jiang Suyuan and Qin Zhiyi? Are you worried they'll harm your father?"

Huo Guining became somewhat wary: "What's wrong with you? You're not like yourself. How come you don't know anything?"

The girl's tone was a bit hurt: "I haven't been feeling well lately, so..."

Huo Guining thought of her own body and suddenly felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but..."

The scene at the Qin house suddenly played out before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, the blue sky, white clouds, and grass all vanished.

A fleeting image of Qin Zhiyi and Jiang Suyuan speaking harshly to her flashed by, replaced by a scene of ruins after a fire.

In the vast garden, a great fire raged.

No leaves, no flowers, no fruits.

Only charred branches remained, standing lonely in place, waiting for the wildfire to spread.

The girl stood barefoot on the ruins, a solitary figure in the distance.

Seeing Huo Guining look over, she shook her head and turned away.

The fire had not yet died down, and thick smoke choked the air, making Huo Guining cough uncontrollably.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The ruins before her eyes gradually disappeared, and the world plunged into darkness.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep"

A series of urgent alert sounds rang out.

The nurse immediately came forward to check: "Tachycardia!"

The doctor came over with a stethoscope: "How's the blood pressure?"

"Blood pressure is fine."

"Give her the medication."

Shortly after administering the drug, the heart monitor showed that the heart rate had returned to normal.

The doctor exhaled and waved to the people nearby: "It's alright now."
