What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

96

Jiang Suyuan was caught in a dilemma.

He didn't want to choose either Old Mr. Qin or Huo Xiaozheng.

Qin Zhiyi advised from the side, "Huo Xiaozheng clearly doesn't have good intentions. If you accept his investment, then my father's side..."

Jiang Suyuan fell into deep thought.

Huo Xiaozheng, like a hunter, possessed excellent patience and didn't mind waiting out Jiang Suyuan.

Meanwhile, Old Mr. Qin didn't go back on his word.

Almost from the moment Jiang Suyuan walked out of the Qin family's front door, he began his own plan alone.

And his first target was Yun City, which Huo Xiaozheng had bought at a high price at auction.

Huo Guining was oblivious to all of this. In her view, Huo Xiaozheng was either busy or getting busier.

This morning, Huo Guining groggily crawled out of bed in the dim dawn light. She looked at the already dressed and groomed Huo Xiaozheng with sleepy eyes and asked in a muffled voice:

"Dad, so early today?"

Huo Xiaozheng took out an eye mask and put it over her eyes, scooping her up in one motion: "There's an early meeting at the company today. You go back to sleep, I'll put you in the rest room later."

Huo Guining was really too tired to argue. Hearing this, she didn't stand on ceremony. Her head tilted to one side, and she fell asleep again.

Given that Huo Guining had been resting at the company more and more often lately, Huo Xiaozheng's rest room now hardly differed from a child's room.

Not only was it fully equipped with children's supplies, but daily clothes had also been prepared for Ning Ning.

They were all new seasonal children's products delivered from nearby shopping malls.

When Huo Guining woke up again, the rest room was already bright with daylight.

She raised her hand to remove the eye mask, looking around groggily.

Good, as usual, there was no one around.

She changed out of her pajamas with practiced ease, gave herself a quick wash, and walked out carrying a comb.

In the office, Huo Xiaozheng sat in the boss's chair. In front of the desk, employees held documents, seemingly reporting something.

Huo Xiaozheng caught sight of Ning Ning out of the corner of his eye and made a pause gesture.

He stood up and walked to Ning Ning's side: "Are you awake?"

Huo Guining nodded: "I'm going to find Sister Yin Su to do my hair."

Huo Xiaozheng took the comb and pressed her down to sit by the sofa: "Yin Su is out on an errand. Dad will tie it for you."

A collective intake of breath sounded around them.

Only then did Huo Guining notice that there were other people around.

Huo Xiaozheng was already well-practiced in doing her hair.

Before Huo Guining could figure out how to escape this awkward situation, Huo Xiaozheng had already deftly tied her hair into a bun.

After putting down the comb, Huo Xiaozheng belatedly realized there were others in the office.

He crouched down and said softly: "Go find Uncle Xi Chuan and have him heat up your breakfast. Make sure to finish your medicinal soup."

Huo Guining's head nearly exploded at the mention of medicinal soup.
