Huo Guining's momentary softness of heart had turned her into a joke.

As soon as Song Tianbai finished speaking, Huo Guining stood up and walked away.

Song Tianbai hurriedly got up, his tone pleading: "Please, as long as your father cuts off my mother's hopes, I promise that my mother and I will never appear in your world again."

Huo Guining paused: "What do you mean?"

Seeing that she was willing to listen, Song Tianbai dared not hide anymore: "My mother is clearly obsessed now. The company can't be sustained anyway, whether it's acquisition or something else, please ask your father to act quickly and never give my mother hope."

After a few seconds of silence, he added: "Please ask your father not to consider any past affection."

Huo Guining finally understood: "So, whether it's seeking sponsorship from my father or trying to become my stepmother, your mother..."

Song Tianbai lowered his head: "It's all to save her company."

Huo Guining's expression became indescribable.

"Even if you say that, I won't make you any promises," Huo Guining said bluntly.

Song Tianbai clenched his palms tightly: "I know, I know all of that..."

"You coming to find me today was completely unnecessary," Huo Guining thought for a moment and said, "My father... never intended to give your mother any chance at all."

Song Tianbai said dejectedly: "That's why I wanted to ask your father for help, to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

Destroy before rebuilding.

Huo Guining understood this principle, but it seemed a bit extreme.

After leaving the hall, Huo Guining stared at the rising numbers on the elevator, lost in thought.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened.

Huo Xiaozheng, surrounded by a group of people, ran into Huo Guining head-on.

"Ning Ning?" Huo Xiaozheng asked, puzzled. "Where did you go?"

Huo Guining obediently replied: "I met someone."

Seeing that there was more to her words, Huo Xiaozheng dismissed the others, and the father and daughter walked towards the office.

Huo Yueze was out on field work.

In the spacious office, the sunlight was faint, and the room was quiet.

"That's about it," Huo Guining took a sip of fruit juice and told Huo Xiaozheng everything that had just happened. "Although hearing it like this, Song Tianbai seems quite pitiful too."

Huo Xiaozheng grunted in agreement: "This kid is so young, but quite daring."

"However, not very likable."

Huo Guining nodded in agreement: "Yes, too gloomy and overly extreme."

Huo Xiaozheng wasn't interested in the affairs of Song's mother and son: "Why are you suddenly concerned about his matters?"

Huo Guining pouted: "I can't quite explain it..."

She just felt that, to some extent, her former self and Song Tianbai had some similarities.

For the sake of her only support, she kept brainwashing herself, believing that her mother loved her.

Until the day of her death, she realized the truth wasn't as she had imagined.
