Chapter 68: The Ungrateful Woman

  As Tong Mai held the bouquet, gazing at the fresh flowers in front of her mother's grave... It was obvious that someone had been there earlier. A thick layer of surprise appeared under her eyes.

  Who came, could it be Mr. Yin, but she was not sure. The tulips in front of her did not have the fiery redness of the roses last time, and they looked elegant and simple, similar to her mother's temperament. Although her mother liked lilies when she was alive, she probably wouldn't reject these tulips either.

  However, vaguely felt that it was not his father. He didn't have such a good heart to take care of his mother. He was an unrepentant and thorough scoundrel.

  Tong Mai shook off these emotions, not wanting to affect his mood. He wasn't worth getting angry over...

  Suddenly thought of Yin Yuqi again, could it be her, no way

  "Mom, it's great to be back home, I can come visit you often, how are you?" Tong Mai forced a faint smile on her face, speaking in a deliberately casual tone. She always believed that her mother could see her from heaven, and if she wasn't doing well, her mother would definitely be worried, so no matter what, she had to live on strongly.

  "Mom, don't worry about me, I'm doing great. Although there are some small conflicts living with them, but I won't let them bully me. On the other hand, I'm more worried about you. If you meet a good man over there, just be together. My mom is so kind and virtuous, she must be able to meet a good person, live happily ever after."

  In her words, it sounds a bit heart-wrenching. Her conversation with her mother seems as if her mother can truly hear what she's saying. In Tong Mai's eyes, her mother has never left her and is always in her heart.

  ……

  As before, Huo Yize would wait for Lin Yuruo at the foot of the mountain and wouldn't ask much. If she wanted to say something, she would naturally speak up; there was no need to pry into other people's secrets, even if they were close to him. He had always been this way.

  Tong Mai also came down from the mountain, feeling dizzy and disoriented, his whole body was hot and burning, probably really catching a cold. Now his eyelids were heavy, and he didn't even know if he had enough energy left to walk down the mountain.

  And after walking down the mountain, you still have to walk a long way before you can hail a car...

  Hold on, hold on, never give up at this moment, especially not fainting here, or she would be beyond help, and there's no way out.

  "Where are we going next," said Huo Yize, gripping the steering wheel, his voice flat and calm.

  He and Yin Yuqi have always been in this mode of getting along with each other, and after a long time, it has also become a kind of established pattern.

  "Take me to Xian Ning's company, I want to invite him to my home tomorrow and introduce Tong Mai to him," Yin Yuqi's determination to find a good man for Tong Mai has not changed.

  Upon hearing this, Huo Yize's face involuntarily turned cold and stern. Whenever he mentioned that woman... his emotions would change, undergoing an uncontrollable transformation.

  "Do you think Lian Xinning would look at her?" He wasn't very familiar with Lian Xinning, but they were all people in the business world. Lian Xinning was also a very successful businessman, and he probably wouldn't give Tong Mai, who couldn't even get on stage and had a bad personality, a second glance.

  Yin Yuqi could hear the disdain in He Yize's words towards Tong Mai, as if he looked down on her. "Yize, you seem to dislike Xiao Mai very much. Actually... although Xiao Mai has a bit of a temper, she is still a good person," speaking up for Tong Mai sincerely.

  Of course, she can't associate the hickey on Tong Mai's neck with Huo Yize at all. In her heart, Tong Mai and Huo Yize are two people who have nothing to do with each other, so she won't be on guard against them.

  He really didn't know what was good about her, with many shortcomings all over her body, and there wasn't a single place that could be called an advantage...

  Huo Yize didn't go to discuss with her whether the woman "Tong Mai" was good or bad, as if she was an indispensable part of his heart that couldn't be discussed or studied. As soon as he touched on it slightly, his anger would naturally erupt.

  "Why don't you come to our house tomorrow... it'll be lively with more people, and since you're there, you and Xian Ning will have common topics to talk about, so it won't be awkward," Yin Yuqi continued.

  "Let's put it off till another day, I have something else on tomorrow."

  Tomorrow... Tong Mai wants to go on a blind date with Li Xian Ning, but that's not possible. Huo Yize's lips curve into a cold, cruel smile as he subtly pulls her in, and the unnamed flame spreads quickly...

  "Oh..." A bit disappointed...

  She also seems to feel that Huo Yize has changed, but as for what specific changes have taken place, she can't quite put her finger on it. In short, Yin Yuqi is uneasy, extremely uneasy. She raises her eyes and gazes towards the small path at the side, a familiar figure... isn't that Xiao Mai?

  "Also Ze, parking, wheat is there..." Yin Yuqi's voice was filled with surprise and delight.

  She knew Tong Mai didn't want to come with her to pay respects to her mother. Now that they've finished, they can just happen to be going the same way.

  Huo Yize was also taken aback by Yin Yuqi's sudden words, wondering how this damned woman could appear in the vicinity. Had Yuqi mistaken him for someone else? Not until he turned around and confirmed that the figure was indeed her did he...

  "Wheat, wheat..."

  Following the sound, Tong Mai saw Yin Yuqi.

  It was she, Tong Mai's astonishment was no less than theirs. Could it be that the fresh flowers in front of her mother's tombstone were really sent by Yin Yuqi?

  It's impossible. What reason does she have to do this? Chen Yuhua is so hateful, resenting her and her mother, yet her daughter goes against her will and does such a thing.

  At this moment, Tong Mai looked at Yin Yuqi, his heart was a mess, his brain was all tangled up.

  "Wheat, let's head back together," Yin Yuki remained as enthusiastic as ever.

  Tong Mai's throat suddenly felt a bit stiff, unable to speak, and could only stare at Yin Yuqi. Then, Huo Yize got out of the car, his eyes coldly fixed on her, not severe but giving off a heavy oppressive feeling.

  At a distance that was neither near nor far, Huo Yize happened to catch the flush on Tong Mai's face. Today, her complexion seemed particularly unwell, and she looked like she was ill, as if she had lost her usual vitality and boldness in an instant.

  "Never mind,"

  She refused, but the tone of her speech was no longer as repulsive and angry towards Yín Yǔ Qí as before. After glancing at Huò Yì Zé hastily, her gaze fell on Yín Yǔ Qí's face. No wonder she had asked her to come here together this morning. Now she finally understood, "The flowers were sent by you."

  The answer is actually very obvious, but she still doesn't dare to be certain. After all, she really can't figure out why Yín Yǔ Qí would do this. Is it that she's truly so kind and simple-minded? Can't she see how annoying and hateful she is?

  She actually repeatedly maintained her, replaced her to be filial... How long has it been, can't she even come to visit on the anniversary of her mother's death?

  Turbulent emotions compelled Tong Mai to become agitated, and she continued to press for answers. "How long have you been doing this? Do you think that by doing so, I will thank you and forget my hatred towards all of you?"

  The tone was full of questioning, but there seemed to be a hint of warmth in her chest. In fact, Yin Yuqi was grateful from the bottom of her heart for what she had done, but the words that came out were contradictory.

  "Wheat, don't be so agitated, I'm doing this without any other meaning, purely out of respect for my elders. I didn't expect you to thank me either. The grudges from the previous generation shouldn't be carried over to our generation, should they? Living with hatred every day, aren't you tired, Wheat..."

  "That's enough, I don't want to hear your hypocritical and insincere words. From now on, stop sending flowers to my mom, seeing you will only add trouble to her heart and mine."

  In other people's eyes, she is an unreasonable and unscrupulous person. She doesn't want to owe anything to Yinyu Qi, so although her heart is moved a little, she deliberately behaves extremely badly, becoming a woman who doesn't know what's good for her.

  Huo Yize finally understood as a bystander, it turned out that all these years, the person who came to worship at this time was actually Tong Mai's mother...

  Such a broad-minded and kind-hearted person... couldn't help but make Huo Yize feel a little moved, all along, he knew that Yin Yuqi was good, but he didn't expect her to be this good.

  At this moment, Tong Mai's viciousness is becoming more and more apparent. What kind of attitude is she showing now?

  "Wheat, don't be like this, let's go back first," said the good-tempered Yin Yiqi as she stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She didn't mind Tong Mai's words, just treating it as her being spoiled.

  "Let go," she tried to shake off Yin Yuqi's hand, but the next second was tightly wrapped in a broad palm, and was suddenly grasped, "You don't know what's good for you, don't think that just because you're a victim, everyone owes you an apology. People like you are the most detestable, and don't think that everyone is indebted to you, being good to you is not a matter of course. No one has the obligation or responsibility to do anything for you. Next time, if you bully her again, you'd better prepare your own coffin in advance."

  His gloomy expression added a few points to his inherent dignity and sharpness, especially when he gazed at Tong Mai's pupils, which seemed to be filled with a hint of bloodthirstiness, as if warning her that his words were not just empty talk.

  But Tong Mai didn't think that He Yi Ze's words were just scaring her, she knew that as long as he said it out loud, he could do it, but what's the big deal, it was just a life, she had nothing to lose, no fear.

  Huo Yize's palm touched her scorching wrist, gazing at her rosy face for a long time, and could roughly guess that she might have caught a cold, but only he knew the real reason behind her cold...

  It's strange if I don't get sick after being sprayed with cold water in the fountain for so long...

  "We're leaving," he said, not caring whether she was ill or not, shaking off her hand and roughly wrapping his arm around Yin Yuqi's slender waist to leave. At this moment, even glancing at Tong Mai once more seemed like a bother, his heart brewing with intense flames...
