1184 I’ve Always Been Like This

In her dream, Song Yaoyao dreamt that she married Huo Yunque. She held her father’s arm and walked towards him. Below the stage, there were her parents, who were filled with relief and moved. There was also her unhappy brother, Song Lanchuan.

She grinned.

This dream was simply too blissful!

From that day onwards, Song Yaoyao’s mood visibly improved. She believed that her dreams were a premonition.

What if… she really had a chance to see her parents again?

…

Huo Jiu told Song Yaoyao that someone had been following her recently and told her to be careful when she went in and out; she must not leave the sight of the bodyguards.

Song Yaoyao understood that she had to stay alive to marry her Gege, so naturally, she did not joke about her safety.

On the day Xu Yue was discharged from the hospital, Song Yaoyao and Huo Jiu went in to pick her up. They saw Mrs. Xu, who was already pushing Xu Yue out in a wheelchair. No, she shouldn’t be called Mrs. Xu now, she should be called Ms. Han. She had already divorced Father Xu and received a large cut of his assets.

Father Xu was naturally unwilling to do so, but under the real intervention of capital, he knew how to make the right choice.

“Miss Song, you’re here.” Ms. Han was from S City. After her divorce, she became much calmer, ad she spoke with a smile and a faint coquettish accent.

“Xu Yue is being discharged, of course I’d come.”

Xu Yue’s eyes were very bright. She quietly pursed her lips and smiled as she watched Song Yaoyao talk to Ms. Han. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the man standing beside Song Yaoyao. Her face couldn’t help but burn, and she quickly averted her gaze.

A hint of a smile flashed across Huo Jiu’s eyes. He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly before turning his head away.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m late!” Tang Xinrou rushed over. She held her bag in her hand and walked swiftly in her high heels.

Song Yaoyao’s forehead twitched as she watched. She was afraid that she might accidentally sprain her ankle.

But it was obvious…

Wearing high heels was like walking on flat ground. It was a required professional accomplishment for every female celebrity. Song Yaoyao’s worries were unnecessary.

“Have you finished filming the scenes for the production team?” As her manager, Xu Yue immediately asked her about her work progress.

“Aiya, it’s almost done. Manager Xu, you’re still in the hospital. Save your energy and take good care of your body!” Tang Xinrou rolled her eyes as she took over from Ms. Han. “Auntie Han, let me push her.”

“Who told me to manage such a careless artiste?” Xu Yue teased.

Song Yaoyao walked calmly to the side and suddenly said, “It’s not convenient for you. You’re wearing high heels. Let Huo Jiu push her.”

“Hey!” Xu Yue’s eyes widened and she wanted to refuse.

“Okay, okay, okay… Ah…” Ms. Han couldn’t stop smiling. She quickly nodded in agreement and moved aside. At that moment, she met Xu Yue’s warning gaze and cleared her throat, “Ahem… Huo Jiu, won’t this be too troublesome for you?”

“Mom!”

Xu Yue felt uncomfortable. “Since you know it’s troublesome, why are you troubling me?”

“It’s okay.” Huo Jiu smiled. He quickly walked over to hold the wheelchair handle and easily pushed Xu Yue out of the hospital. “It’s not troublesome, I’m happy to help.”

“Tch-”

Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Xinrou. The two of them smiled in tacit understanding.

“Hey! You two!”

Xu Yue watched as Song Yaoyao and Tang Xinrou walked faster and faster. Even her mother abandoned her and caught up with the two of them. She didn’t know what the three women were talking about, but they would burst into laughter from time to time. The atmosphere was too harmonious.

Compared to the atmosphere on her side, it was like two different worlds.

On her side, it was awkward and silent.

“Are you still afraid of me?”

Xu Yue sneered when she heard this. “Why would I be afraid?”

“That incident back then-”

“If you knew this day would come, would you have still done that?” Xu Yue interrupted Huo Jiu.

“Yes.”

His short reply made Xu Yue so angry that she wanted to jump up and kick him. “Get lost! Mom! Mom, come back!”

Ms. Han turned her head and glanced at her, then she left even faster.

Xu Yue gritted her teeth.

“Your hypothesis is impossible. I didn’t know you at that time. Moreover, your personality at that time…” Huo Jiu seemed to have recalled something and suddenly laughed softly.

To Xu Yue’s ears, this was an outright mockery.

“Get-” Before she could tell him to get lost, Huo Jiu suddenly said with a serious expression, “Xu Yue, do you want to give us a try?”

Before Xu Yue could vent all her anger, she was given a shock. She opened her mouth and only said a word after a long while, “You…”

“I’m serious. If you ask me if I would still do those things to you now, I can answer you very seriously: no.”

The man was standing behind her and she could not see his expression. Of course, at this moment, she actually felt a little timid and did not dare to look back.

Her fingers tightened slightly and she lowered her eyelashes.

After a long while, she changed the topic.

“Where is Xu Weiqing?”

…

Night fell, but for this bustling city, the exciting life had just begun.

On a random street, a black luxury car suddenly stopped. The black-painted vehicle looked like a giant beast roaring in the darkness.

The streets were filled with colorful lit-up signs and occasionally, there were one or two specialty stores selling adult products. The words on the billboards made people blush.

The sexily-dressed woman in heels was sitting in the store looking outside in boredom. When she saw the man who got out of the car, her eyes lit up. She opened the door and leaned out half of her body.

Looking at the other stores, many people were also tempted.

Every man in the area was fat and greasy. They had never seen such an outstanding man here.

Moreover, his car. Just by looking at the brand, it was obvious that it was expensive.

“Handsome, do you want to come in?”

“Handsome! Come to my shop, it’s free!”

Xu Yue had just opened the car door when her face darkened. She looked up at Huo Jiu and asked, “Is Xu Weiqing here?”

Huo Jiu didn’t answer, but he didn’t refute. That meant she was there.

It was obvious what benefits Xu Weiqing would be able to get from this man.

Even if she didn’t die, she would be tortured.

“Let’s go back.”

Xu Yue was about to close the car door when Huo Jiu grabbed her wrist and leaned over.

His dark eyes were like cold jade, filled with a strong sense of aggression. It was like an abyss filled with a thick fog, making one’s breathing stop under his gaze.

“What are you angry about?”

“I’m not. Let me go first!” Xu Yue wanted to shake him off, but Huo Jiu’s hands were tightly clenched. She had no choice but to say, “You’re hurting me!”

“Ha…”

Huo Jiu laughed coldly. “I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine. You already knew that I was like this. Isn’t it a little too late to realize it now?”

Xu Yue was stunned. She looked up to see Huo Jiu’s expression.

However, she heard a bang. Huo Jiu slammed the car door, turned back to the driver’s seat, and started the car.
