ut to ask her if she was feeling dizzy."Come here." Huo Mingzheng said faintly.Fu Yan stood still, lifting her head to look at Huo Mingzheng across from her. Her eyes suddenly reddened.He thought she...Cao Fang explained: "Miss Fu, it was the gardener who accused you yesterday. He pushed Fifth Miss. He had a personal grievance with Fifth Miss and accidentally caused her to lose her child in her womb. Fearful of being prosecuted and imprisoned, he would have an impact on his own child's life, so he committed suicide out of fear of guilt. However, there is a little girl who can serve as a witness."

suicide out of fear of punishment....

Fu Yan's lip color paled slightly.

She still remembered yesterday when the other party swore that they saw her push Huo Jingshu, she almost believed it herself.

It turns out he framed himself.

She knew that Fu Hánlín would protect her, Jì Lín would try every means to keep her safe, and she had also thought about how her elder brother would help her once he knew.

With all this reliance and trust, what she desired most of all was her own innocence.

Now finally, the injustice has been cleared. The tightly strung string suddenly loosened, my eyes welled up, and I turned my face away.

Ho Mingzheng saw her little movements clearly, and his chest felt a dull ache.

After hearing Cao Fang's words, Ji Lin sneered and clapped sarcastically, "Finally, you gave Yu Yan a clean slate. Your Huo family is truly something else."

She was made to kneel in the ancestral hall for eight hours because one statement implied she was the one who instigated it. With a casual brush-off, another suspect was implicated, restoring her innocence.

Everything is black and white depending on what the Huo family says.

It's ironic, isn't it

"Could it be that the previous eight hours made Fu Yanbai kneel down Isn't President Huo always good at doing business Then shouldn't we settle accounts now, how will your Huo family compensate her!"

"No need." Fu Yan suddenly spoke.

Her mind was filled with yesterday's humiliation and Huo Mingzheng's distrust.

Her eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness, "I want no compensation from the Huo family, and I don't want to see any of them ever again. Tomorrow, I will prepare a statement, and my mother and I will officially leave the Huo family."

She looked into Huo Mingzheng's eyes, and spoke word by word, her voice resounding.

"I want to break away from the Huo family, and never have anything to do with them again."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a subtle atmosphere spread through the group standing in the hallway.

Ji Lin was first taken aback, intimidated by Fu Yan's aura. Then, a surge of delight filled his heart. Excellent! Fu Yan had finally left that den of wolves known as the Huo family.

"Leaving the Huo family" Huo Mingzheng spat out these four words, his eyes flashing with a dangerous chill. "Do you think it's so easy to leave the Huo family"

Fu Yan felt a jolt of fear, but she still managed to speak calmly and firmly: "Uncle Huo has been dead for many years. My mother's marriage to him automatically dissolved, and legally speaking, she hasn't been part of the Huo family for a long time."

She scoffed, "And I'm just my mother's appendage, not belonging to your Huo family at all."

The words "accessories" were a mockery from Du Xiner back then. At the time, many people in the Huo family heard it, and no one spoke up for her.

Ho Mingzheng also heard about these three words only after returning from military academy.

He chuckled softly, "Your names are still in the family register. As the head of the family, as long as I don't remove your names, even if you reach the ends of the earth, you are all members of the Huo family."

" Huo Mingzheng!" Ji Lin shouted angrily, "Your Huo family didn't treat Fu Yan as a member of the family at all. Did you really not see the scorn and humiliation she suffered in that home"

"This is a matter for the Huo family." Huo Mingzheng's expression was cold.

When it came to the Huo family's affairs, Fu Yan didn't want Ji Lin to get involved. She couldn't let her cause the Ji family to offend the Huo family. Then she would truly become a sinner.

Besides, Huo Mingzheng's words, both spoken and unspoken, reminded her that she couldn't escape the Huo family's cage. Only then did she realize that her mother was still in the Huo family.

Ho Mingzheng patiently gave her two choices, "Do you stay here or come back to the Ho family with me"e from the entrance hall.Fu Yan let out a long sigh, her eyes even more red than before.The clock on the wall passed two o'clock.A man lying on the sofa, with one hand across his eyes, moved slightly....
