Qin Yao didn't know exactly what Xiaoqiao was planning to do but had no choice but to adapt and cooperate with her.
Xiaoqiao nodded her head, "If you disdain my background..."
Huo Yandong shook his head, "My demand is, end all relations with Gong Zhiming!"
"I haven't had any relation with him for a long time; he never treated me as his daughter. Apart from using me, he never supported me for a day; it was Grandfather who raised me single-handedly." Xiaoqiao's expression was tinged with self-mockery and sadness.
Qin Yao gently embraced her in his arms, unsure whether her current sadness was real or fake.
Huo Yandong looked at her a few more times, feeling a strange emotion welling up inside him. Finally, he waved his hand at them, indicating they could leave.

Qin Yao led Xiaoqiao out of the private room with suspicion. Was that it? They were just leaving?
