Upon hearing this, Huo Siye remained silent, not answering her question.
"If you want, I can tell you where she is," Xing Kong said, playing with his tie.
Huo Siye remained quiet, and Xing Kong slowly suppressed the burning hatred in her chest and calmed herself down.
"If she is safe, I would rather not see her," Huo Siye finally spoke.
The Huo family was in turmoil, with the patriarch's health declining and his main wife, who had been with him for many years, taking a non-interference stance towards the family's affairs. However, the second and third wives were fighting tooth and nail for a larger share of the inheritance.
If he were to bring his mother back now, they would surely think that he was trying to use her to gain a larger share of the inheritance. They would stop at nothing, even if it meant killing his mother.
"Oh? But I remember someone saying that if you don't tell them where your mother is by seven o'clock tomorrow morning, you will face the consequences," Xing Kong reminded him.
Huo Siye remained silent, knowing that Xing Kong was a vengeful girl.
"So, how will you face the consequences?" Xing Kong lifted her head from his chest and moved her lips up towards his neck, igniting a fire within him.
Huo Siye trembled and stopped her, "Don't move."
"I'm not moving, brother," Xing Kong giggled, her laughter charming and seductive.
Huo Siye gritted his teeth, wondering how this girl could change her demeanor so quickly. Just a moment ago, she looked like she was being bullied, and now she was...!
"Hey, big brother, why is your cufflink missing?"
Xingkong suddenly noticed that the cufflink on his sleeve was gone, stopped teasing the fire, and joked, "Could it be... a woman accidentally knocked it off while fooling around with you?"
Huo Siye took a deep breath and suppressed the restless feeling that was spreading rapidly throughout his body, before saying in a deep voice, "I lost it during a fight with Qi Rongchen."
"You fought with Qi Rongchen?" Xingkong raised her eyebrows in surprise and seemed to be thinking about something. "What kind of fight? Could it be..."
"Third Miss, Fourth Prince fought with Qi Rongchen for you. Please don't tease Fourth Prince anymore," Bai Ning suddenly turned his head and said.
Huo Siye looked at Bai Ning displeasedly, warning him not to say anything more.
But Bai Ning had already figured it out. As long as Third Miss was present, Fourth Prince was a paper tiger and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"For me?"
"Yes, Qi Rongchen insisted on interviewing Fourth Prince about what it feels like to have a child bride, and he even mocked Fourth Prince for giving up his principles for a woman. So Fourth Prince beat him up."
"Really?" Xingkong didn't expect Huo Siye to also fight, but when she thought that he fought for her, she was happy again. "Who won?"
"Of course, Fourth Prince won. Qi Rongchen has never won before."
"Never? Do they fight often?"
Bai Ning nodded vigorously. "Qi Rongchen is too much. He can't help but provoke Fourth Prince every three days."
"I didn't expect there to be such a person."
"Yes, yes, Qi Rongchen is such a person. Third Miss is surprised, right?"
Xingkong smiled and turned back to Huo Siye, looking at him with a smile. "May I ask, what does it feel like to have a child bride? Are you happy or unhappy?"
Huo Siye knocked on her head. "You naughty girl."
"You're no better, always acting like a drama queen," she retorted.
And he even threatened her with the consequences of her actions?
"Did you make Song Yunfei suddenly leave the airport?" he asked.
"No," she replied. Her gaze made him uncomfortable, so he pushed her face away with his hand. "I'm not that free."
"Men always say one thing and mean another," Xing Kong said smugly.
Pfft.
Bai Ning couldn't help but laugh.
It was too funny to see Siye so angry and helpless. After so many years by the Fourth Prince's side, only Shen Xingkong could make him feel so frustrated.
"What did you do to make Song Yunfei leave the airport?" he asked.
"I said it has nothing to do with me."
"Is it a personal issue or a company issue?"
"It's a company issue."
"Oh, a company issue," Xing Kong said.
Huo Siye said, "..."
"Miss Three..." Bai Ning began.
"I don't like being called Miss Three," Xing Kong interrupted. "I don't want to be compared to Shen Xinrou or Shen Xinai. I have nothing to do with them."
Bai Ning nodded to show her understanding. "Then I'll call you Miss Xing from now on."
"I like that title."
"Miss Xing, Song Jewelry wants to enter Junsheng Duty-Free Shop, but their jewelry was found to have exceeded the radiation limit."
"How could Song Yunfei make such a serious mistake?"
"Damn it! Junsheng Duty-Free Shop is a cash cow. There are too many brands that want to enter, but the space is limited. In order to successfully enter, they will naturally fight tooth and nail."
"Are you saying that Song's Jewelry was framed?"
"We don't care whether they were framed or not. This matter had nothing to do with Prince Yinzhen. But when you suddenly decided to marry Song Yunfei, Prince Yinzhen was definitely furious. He made me dig up this matter and personally went to Song's Jewelry overnight."
"When did you become so talkative?" Huo Siye was displeased with Bai Ning's verbosity, his gaze tinged with annoyance.
Bai Ning looked frightened, but his mouth didn't stop, "Miss Xing, you don't know how angry Song is right now. Song Yunfei was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes and kicked his legs."
"I think you don't want your year-end bonus."
"...I still have a year-end bonus this year?"
Huo Siye, "... "
"What did he say?" Xing Kong gave him a reassuring look and asked with interest.
"Huo Siye said, 'Frustrated in love and business. Song Shao's luck is so bad that he's probably done too many bad things in the past that even the gods can't bear to watch.' "
Xing Kong hooked her lips, "Brother is right. He has done too many evil things, even the gods can't bear to watch."
In the previous life, I don't know how many young girls were ruined by Song Yunfei. He won't have a good ending.
"Bai Ning!"
"Ah! Miss Xing, look, aren't those Lin Lingling's parents?"
Xing Kong cooperatively looked over and fixed her eyes, "Hey, it's really them!"
"Right, right, what are they here for?"
"They're here to find Shen Xinrou."
"How do you know?"
"Because I brought them here."
Bai Ning suddenly felt a chill down the back of his neck as he read the words "...".
Shen Xinai had returned home due to the presidential pardon, but the matter was far from over. Did she think she could escape legal punishment? Dream on. If she wasn't allowed to revel in her superiority and bask in her own glory, how could she feel the heart-wrenching pain of falling down? The law may have temporarily spared her, but morality will judge her first.
Outside the car, a middle-aged couple with haggard faces held up a white banner with red paint that read "Return my daughter's life". They rushed past the security personnel towards Shen Xinrou, who was walking out. They shouted, "Return my daughter's life! Lingling, you died so miserably. Daddy has come to seek justice for you."
