"I'm hoping you can come back to the Huo Corporation and become a board member, which will naturally make you one of the inheritors . By then, you would play a decisive role, and your father would have to take your words and demands into consideration . Me, on the other hand – I'm not hoping for much, I just wanted you to help me transfer Siyi back from the Philippines . "
"Sorry, I won't be able to help much . "
"Of course I wouldn't ask you to help us for free . I will give you a million yuan after our plan proves to be successful . " To Shen Jiani, it was an big investment indeed .
Shen Jiani pulled out a brocade box from her bag before Huo Mian had a chance to say anything .
"What is this?" Huo Mian questioned .
"It's an OMEGA watch, the latest ladies' model . I'm giving you this watch as a sincere gesture, it's worth 188,000 yuan . " Shen Jiani pushed the brocade box towards Huo Mian .
Huo Mian sneered . Looks like the mother and daughter were putting down huge investments, with the money and watch .
It certainly seemed like Huo Siqian had been playing with them too hard, forcing them into a corner .
"Excuse me, but I really can't help you guys . You should remember that I've already publicly announced that I would never return to the Huo family . "
"That's not a problem at all, your father doesn't mind that sort of thing . After all, your kinship is bound by blood . "
For a moment, Huo Mian was about to spill the truth – She was not Huo Zhenghai's daughter . But of course, now was not the time . The truth was often involved with many other interests .
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't mind, because I mind . I do not want to return, so I can't help you, my apologies . "
Upon saying the last word, Huo Mian stood up to leave, never once glancing at the watch . . .
Shen Jiani's complexion became wary; it took her by surprise that Huo Mian rejected her so directly, barely taking any time to think it through .
Seeing the situation, Huo Yanyan could bear no more . So, she stood up and did what she did best . "Hey! Do you even know how to spell the word 'appreciation'? Don't blame me for not warning you that bad days lay ahead for you!"
"Don't mess with me, or I will make sure the days ahead of you will be difficult ones too," Huo Mian scolded, glancing coldly at Huo Yanyan .
She disliked Huo Yanyan, from the bottom of her heart, very much like the way she disliked He Man .
If Huo Yanyan ever crossed the line, she would most definitely teach her a lesson . . .
"Mom, I told you it would be a waste of time to come here . The b*tch doesn't even appreciate it . I heard she's been having an affair with Su Yu, of course she wouldn't be interested in our offering now that she's climbed up a high branch . "
"We needed to try, despite knowing it would fail . What if she said 'yes'? Wouldn't we have just one more option? You get anxious too quickly, and Siyi is just like you . You two didn't take after me at all . "
Shen Jiani sighed . She had been savvy her whole life, but somehow she gave birth to two idiots .
Back when she was in her prime, she outwitted all of Huo Zhenghai's lovers and even faced Jiang Hong, Huo Zhenghai's wife, head-on . Now, she was still at it, trying to outwit Huo Siqian for her children . When would she be able to take a break?
The road to marrying rich often looked glamorous on the outside, but only those who actually walked down that path will understand how difficult it was .
No one else knew how cruel in-fightings were, other than those who've experienced it .
"Come with me . . . "
"Mom, where are we going?"
"The slum . "
"The slum? Why are we going there? It's dirty and disgusting, and smells terrible," Huo Yanyan complained .
"We're going to go and look for Huo Mian's mother . Perhaps we can convince her . "
Shen Jiani sat in Huo Yanyan's Porsche 911 . It was very attention-grabbing as the luxurious car parked in front of the courtyard entrance .
Yang Meirong was sitting in the courtyard washing blankets . Her expression changed in a flash when she took notice of Shen Jiani .
"Sis . . . it's been a while . I hope you are well . " Shen Jiani smiled .
"What are you doing here?" Yang Meirong glared at Shen Jiani and asked without much patience in her voice .
