Chapter 1345 - 1345 You're Only Half Right
1345 You’re Only Half Right
At this moment, Xia Mengyan, who was sitting on the floor, suddenly looked up. A trace of hope lit up in her eyes. The noble and elegant man in front of her had grounded Madam Tan and Tan Yu for a woman.
The Brook family was powerful, but Mr. Huo’s status was extraordinary. He could represent the head of the family to punish Madam Tan and Young Master Tan. Not only that, but he was also handsome. To Xia Mengyan, who was in despair, Mr. Huo was like a ray of light. He was her only hope.
Who was the woman Madam Tan was talking about? Could it be that Mr. Huo was here for her? After all, she was the woman who was snatched back by Tan Yu and was even tortured by him for a few days.
At first, Madam Tan thought that it was Xia Mengyan. After all, Xia Mengyan was the eldest daughter of the Xia family. It was reasonable for her to know the young master of the Huo family.!!
Back then, Mr. Huo came to the Brook family as a doctor and treated the head of the family’s chronic illness. He slowly obtained the trust of the head of the family. The head of the family had investigated him, but he did not care about his past. He still handed the family’s matters to him to manage.
Could it be that the woman in Mr. Huo’s heart was Xia Mengyan?
Madam Tan looked at the injuries on Xia Mengyan’s body and almost fainted.
Xia Mengyan was weak all over, so she moved toward the door with difficulty. She was crying while wearing a pure white lace dress. She looked pitiful.
“S-Sir, please take me away! Tan Yu is a bastard. He… He’ll torture me to death! Sir…”
Xia Mengyan naively thought that Mr. Huo must know that the person Tan Yu snatched back was her, so he specially came to save her. Her eyes were filled with hope.
Mr. Huo glanced at the woman lying on the floor, then at Madam Tan. His gaze was playful.
Madam Tan only felt her body turn cold. She stood up stiffly and untied the rope around Xia Mengyan’s feet while trembling. She explained in a panic, “Mr. Huo, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Miss Xia and you…”
She really could not believe why Mr. Huo would like a woman like Xia Mengyan. Xia Mengyan had sent her Qiao Xi’s photo because she wanted Qiao Xi’s blood on the hands of another.
In the past few years, Mr. Huo had looked down on so many women who were interested in him. She thought that he had extremely high standards, but she did not expect him to like Xia Mengyan.
“Madam Tan, I just praised you for being smart, but it turns out you’re only half right.”
Mr. Huo’s tone was indifferent as he glanced at Xia Mengyan in disgust. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know this woman at all. The woman in my heart is—”
It was not Xia Mengyan?
Madam Tan was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly thought of another possibility.
Mr. Huo said word by word, “Madam Tan, this is just a small warning. If you dare to hurt Qiao Xi again in the future, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
He was actually here for Qiao Xi!
Madam Tan suppressed her anger. No matter how capable Mr. Huo was, he was just an outsider. What right did he have to interfere in their family matters? He even dared to threaten her?
“Huo Yuzhou! For a woman, you actually—”
Before she could finish, Huo Yuzhou grabbed Madam Tan’s neck. His long fingers instantly tightened. Madam Tan’s face turned red as she struggled helplessly.
Huo Yuzhou let go of her in disdain. Madam Tan fell to the floor weakly and coughed uncontrollably. She could feel the crazy killing intent in Huo Yuzhou’s eyes just now.
He really wanted to kill her!
“Madam Tan, although you’re the madam of the Brook family, you can’t defeat me. On the account of the patriarch, I can let you off this time, but if I find out that you attacked Qiao Xi again, I’ll let you know what it means to wish you were dead!”
Huo Yuzhou’s casual words scared Madam Tan so much that her red face instantly turned pale.
Xia Mengyan, who had originally ignited hope, fell into despair again. She looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes. She never expected that this man actually came for Qiao Xi.
At this moment, Madam Tan had long lost her arrogance. She said while trembling, “Mr. Huo, then Miss Xia…”
If Huo Yuzhou was here for Qiao Xi, then she would not dare to keep Xia Mengyan by her side. She might as well give her to Huo Yuzhou as a gift to please him.
Xia Mengyan wiped her tears and looked at the man pitifully. As long as he said a word, she would be saved.
After a few seconds of silence, the man chuckled and asked indifferently, “Madam Tan, do you think I have bad taste? I’ll leave such goods to Young Master Tan to enjoy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he left mercilessly without even looking at Xia Mengyan.
Xia Mengyan lay on the floor in despair, her eyes gradually losing light…
