Xingkong sat on his lap, her skirt conveying his warmth, her delicate face adorned with a charming smile. "Brother, do you want to ask me what would happen if Song Yunfei and I really went to Las Vegas?" Huo Siye raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying. "You're a clever little girl." Bai Ning also perked up his ears, curious about what the little one would do. A hero with a brave heart, venturing alone into the city of darkness. "Actually, you want to ask me if I will marry him in Las Vegas, right?" Huo Siye pinched her chin, his thumb rubbing against her lips, smudging her lipstick. "Of course not." Xingkong smiled brightly, leaning half an inch closer to him, her lips stopping just before his breath. "Las Vegas, the city of darkness, where money can buy anything. So, I've paid a lot of money to a few black men, just waiting to kidnap him as soon as he gets off the plane." "Kidnap... that works, it's simple and straightforward." Bai Ning turned his head, incredulously looking at Xingkong. "If I really married him, I wouldn't be that stupid." Xingkong said proudly. "But he's not stupid either." Huo Siye lightly kissed her lips, "You can bribe people, and so can he." "W-what do you mean?" Xingkong was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "You mean he bribed the people I bribed?" "Exactly." Huo Siye chuckled, "Five years ago, Song Yunfei officially became the director of product control and marketing at Song Jewelry." "He's Song Yunfei's son, taking over the company was only a matter of time."
"Song's Jewelry saw a 20% increase in sales revenue that year, and has maintained a steady growth rate of 10% annually," he said. "So, he's not only not stupid, but also very shrewd." Xingkong understood what Huo Siye meant. As the heir of Song's Jewelry, although Song Yunfei was as carefree as most second-generation rich kids, and even more perverse than most, he had real skills. So, as shrewd as he was, he couldn't fail to see through her little tricks. The thought of Song Yunfei seeing through her plan, but still pretending to know nothing and going to Las Vegas with her, made Xingkong feel cold all over. Song Yunfei was too terrifying. At the airport that day, he showed no signs of abnormality. But in fact, he was secretly watching her, even looking forward to her performance. Xingkong closed her eyes. The Song Yunfei of the previous life appeared vividly before her. That crazy, perverse Song Yunfei. The one who colluded with Huo Qingyan and sent herself out for profit. Hatred surged up again, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing hard on her throat, like a fish dying of thirst, in pain and despair. "Xing'er?" The buzzing in her ears was so loud that she could hear Huo Siye calling her name, but her body couldn't respond to his movements. Her pupils were burning with raging flames, and her expression looked very ferocious due to the overwhelming hatred. "Xingkong? Shen Xingkong?" Huo Siye was frightened by her appearance, and held her thin cheeks in his hands, his handsome and cold face full of concern. "What's wrong with you, Shen Xingkong? Can you hear me? Answer me, Shen Xingkong!"
"I..." Xingkong opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
"Shall we go to the hospital, Fourth Master?" Bai Ning was also frightened by Shen Xingkong's appearance and suggested.
"Drive!"
"Yes!"
"No, don't..." Suddenly, Xingkong grabbed his arm and weakly protested, "Don't go to the hospital, don't go."
"You have to go to the hospital, you're not feeling well now."
Xingkong shook her head. "No, I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
Xingkong nodded, stroking the hand on her cheek, trying to get the blood flowing in her body again.
"Brother."
"Hmm?" Huo Siye held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Do you...miss your mother?"
The kissing suddenly stopped for a moment. "Why do you suddenly ask?"
"Because I miss my mother very much."
Xingkong leaned against his chest. "For a long time, I had accepted the fact that she was not my biological mother. I calmly accepted that I was switched at birth and that my biological parents had already passed away. But one day, I found out that it wasn't true. That woman who patiently took care of me when I was sick, who kissed me gently when I cried, who punished me when I did something wrong, that woman who died when I was ten years old, was my mother, my biological mother."
Xingkong couldn't imagine if she hadn't been reborn, would she ever have had the chance to uncover the true face of Dong Ruzhu and her accomplices?
"I miss her so much, every day without fail," she said.
Huo Siye remained silent, continuing to kiss her while listening intently to her words.
"She was such a kind and beautiful woman, but she died because of a conspiracy. It was their greed that killed her! That's why I have to avenge my mother, even if I know that Song Yunfei is a pervert, I still have to take a chance."
If she had just told everyone so bluntly, without any mistakes, that Dong Ruzhu had stolen and replaced her, people would only briefly sympathize with her.
But if everyone witnessed, even participated in, how Dong Ruzhu and her daughter tried to take away her life after taking away her rightful life, then justice would prevail and Dong Ruzhu would be condemned.
"Although my abilities are limited, I will do my best," she said, leaning against him and absorbing his warmth, her heart filled with hatred and fear slowly calming down.
"I miss her too," Huo Siye said in a low voice. "I haven't seen her in ten years."
Ten years ago, he was only fifteen years old.
He was still a weak and naive boy who thought that he could take his mother away from the troubled land of the Huo family if he worked hard enough.
But suddenly, his mother disappeared.
His father told him that if he wanted to see his mother, he had to become strong.
So he went to study in the United States, finished all his courses in the shortest time possible, and refused his father's offer to take over the real estate or finance business of the Huo Group, instead taking over the most insignificant hotel business.
He only took a year to make Junsheng Hotel Group's revenue reach a historic high.
Today, Junsheng Group has become a leading hotel group.
He is no longer the boy from ten years ago who couldn't even protect his mother.
"It has been ten years since the last time you saw your mother," she said. "I can take you to see her."
