On Huo Wei’s side, because Cui Jing turned off the phone, the two of them didn’t know about the exposure of the video. The mother and daughter were talking and laughing in the ward, and they were not affected by the incident at all.

Huo Wei had an injection in the hospital for a day, and her arms were also coated with ointment. By the end of the night, the swelling had disappeared. After all, the swelling was only caused by crutches. It was not serious, and healed quickly. The minor concussion was also much better under the medication. After the doctor’s examination, they found no other symptoms. In the follow-up, she only needed to get injections every day, pay attention to rest, and not be too emotional.

After Huo Wei stayed in the hospital for another night, she insisted on leaving the hospital to go home. She could heal anywhere. Of course, there was no comfort like home in the hospital. So Cui Jing used a wheelchair to push Huo Wei onto the plane.

Huo Ming went to the hospital and found that no one in the ward knew that they were gone. He immediately called Cui Jing, with a tone of dissatisfaction that he hadn’t noticed, “Mom, Huo Wei is hurt. Why don’t you call me when you go back to City B?”

Cui Jing said angrily: “You don’t care about your sister, so you are going to blame me? Why do I have to report to you when I do things? Weiwei doesn’t want to see you for the time being. I will take her home to recover. Do whatever you want. No one will bother you this time. Your graduation tour is over, you can have enough for yourself.”

Huo Ming wanted to say more, but Cui Jing hung up the phone. She was so angry that her chest hurt when she spoke to her son now. Why was it so hard for him to be gentle? He was not at all sensible. Huo Wei was a bit arrogant before. After this incident, she became a little clever and sensible, and she must have been terrified. He was too late to coax Huo Wei. How could he make Huo Ming angry again?

Cui Jing said something to her family servant and turned off her mobile phone, and watched the TV series on her tablet with Huo Wei. In the past, her daughter didn’t have such great patience, and she ran out all day. Now she suddenly felt like a mother raising a daughter again, and her mood improved instantly.

Huo Ming had long wanted to return to City B to handle the official business and online scolding. Now seeing Huo Wei and the others were gone, he immediately went to the hotel to take Zhao Sijia back to City B.

He finally knocked on Zhao Sijia’s door and was shocked to see Zhao Sijia. It had only been a day and Zhao Sijia’s eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and there was no light in her eyes. She looked as if she had been tortured, and was very haggard.

He strode forward to hold on to Zhao Sijia’s shoulder, frowned and looked at her, and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Is it because of the Internet? I’m already solving it. No one will talk about you in a few days.”

Zhao Sijia cried for a long time. She couldn’t even shed tears, she laughed mockingly when she heard this sentence, “In a few days, in a few days, you both said in a few days. Then will the insults I have suffered now not exist?”

Huo Ming sensitively found out what was wrong in her words, “‘You both’? Who else is there besides me?”

After he finished speaking, he sank his face, “Are you talking to Lou Xiao again? Why? You don’t believe me, so you go to him for help? What is the relationship between you and him?”

“Are you jealous?” Zhao Sijia pushed him a few steps back and stared at him, “How many times have I said it? We were just neighbors when we were young, and it was rare that we met again when we grew up, so he helped me. You know that things on the Internet can’t be separated from Huo Wei, and you don’t help me vent my anger. You make me wait and let them scold me. What can I do? You don’t help me and you don’t allow me to find someone else?”

She looked right and arrogant, which made Huo Ming feel that he was unreasonable, but he just felt uncomfortable. Few people would not care about this kind of thing. He took a deep breath and wanted to explain to Zhao Sijia that he didn’t help, but the best way to deal with it was to ignore it.

Zhao Sijia had been with him for a year. Seeing his expression, she knew what he was going to say. She angrily pointed to the door and said, “Don’t reason with me as if I don’t understand anything. Is it possible that there is nothing else besides this method? I just don’t want to be bullied, don’t you understand? Go out. I don’t want to see you.”

Huo Wei didn’t want to see him, and Zhao Sijia didn’t want to see him either. Obviously it was a contradiction between the two of them, and now he was not a human being inside and outside. Huo Ming was born as an heir, and he learned everything fast since he was a child. He was hailed as a genius and highly sought after. He had not been so aggrieved for two days in his life, and there was anger in his heart, and he stood up with a cold face.

“My mother and Huo Wei have already returned to City B. I have to hurry back. After three hours of the flight, pack up your things and come and find me.” As for how to not leave, Huo Ming didn’t say, because it wasn’t necessary. Zhao Sijia lived in his house and worked in his company. What would she do if she stayed here? She might be discovered by the media and interviewed, but she didn’t dare to leave alone.

Zhao Sijia was taken aback, and when she saw Huo Ming leave, she felt even more aggrieved. It turned out that Huo Ming was not here to comfort her at all, but to inform her to go home. She was full of disappointment, and there was nowhere to vent her anger and fear. With her mobile phone in her hand, she subconsciously opened Weibo to read netizens’ comments.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

She didn’t want to see it. They cursed too badly. But she couldn’t control herself. She wanted to know what they said and whether things got better. As a result, every time she looked at it, she saw mockery. There were still many people who made emoticons from her photo, with various mocking words and pictures, which were all insults in her eyes. She had never encountered such a thing before, and she really couldn’t stand it.

But now she didn’t dare to stay alone in a strange city. Although she was angry with Huo Ming, she quickly packed her luggage, put on a hat, mask, and sunglasses, and covered herself tightly before going to Huo Ming.

Huo Ming was also in a bad mood and didn’t want to comfort her. For the first time, the two of them stayed together in silence and without communication and waited for the plane while ignoring each other.

The city they traveled to was not far from City B. Before Huo Ming got on the plane, both Huo Wei and Cui Jing had already got off the plane.

Cui Jing pushed Huo Wei to pick up her luggage, put her in a place with few people, and told her: “Don’t go anywhere. Mom will come over when I get your luggage. If you feel unwell, call me.”

Huo Wei said amusedly: “Mom, are you treating me as a child? I’m twenty-four, and you are making me laugh.”

Cui Jing looked aside, and sure enough, several people looked at them. She said indifferently: “However old you are, you are my daughter, so what’s the matter with caring? Okay, I’ll go.”

Huo Wei rolled her wheelchair and leaned to the side, idle and bored, looking at the favorability of others. There was a couple who held hands and looked affectionate. The boy’s favorability value for the girl was only 20, which was worse than Huo Ming’s treatment of her. It was so shocking.

There was also a family of three. From their conversation, she could tell that the woman was the stepmother of the child. The woman always smiled to please the child, and her favorability value of the child was 60, but the child’s favorability value for her was -30, and she refused to acknowledge her.

At the beginning, choosing the favorability reward was just to help you adapt to the first world. She didn’t expect it to be quite fun. Looking at the favorability value of the people in the hall, she had a feeling of observing the various aspects of their lives.

Two people walked up nearby, and they seemed to be taken aback when they saw her. Huo Wei was very sensitive to the sight of others, and immediately turned her head to look over, and then couldn’t look away.

This man was simply her type! His eyebrows, face shape, body shape, and even the movement of walking all made her heart fascinated! And while this man watched her while walking, his opinion value rose from 0 to 10! Did this mean that his first impression of her was also very good? The most important thing was—how did she feel when they have known each other for a long time? He felt very familiar to her!

Huo Wei watched the man walk in front of her, and then the man wearing glasses next to him smiled and spoke.

“Hello, Miss Huo, this is Chairman Lou Xiao of Yunxiao Group. My name is Yu Hai. I am the boss’s special assistant. Is anyone with you?”

Huo Wei subconsciously looked at Lou Xiao. Was this the male side character she wanted to “save” in this world? What a coincidence. She nodded and greeted with a smile, and immediately asked the system in her mind: You said before that I should do a task when I saw a male side-character. What do you mean? I feel that I am familiar with him. Is he also from the host’s world? Could this be arranged by you?

Host, every feeling of yours is the most real, and I have no ability to interfere. I just know you like this type.

After getting along for two days, the system also understood Huo Wei’s character a bit and added: We did not dig a hole for you, we are bound to do the task to help you, and there will be no harm to you. This is indicated in the agreement. Yes, please rest assured.

Huo Wei thought of the agreement she had read before that she really wrote and signed herself, and then she was relieved. She smiled at Lou Xiao and said, “My mother went there to get my luggage. I had heard of Director Lou before, but I never had a chance to meet you.” She paused, then said, “Director Lou seems to be too old. It’s weird to call you that. Can I call you by your name?”

“Yes,” Lou Xiao nodded, seeing her smile. His eyes didn’t leave her, “I saw the news, how are you doing?”

Huo Wei realized that Lou Xiao’s favorability for her had risen from 10 to 15. It was a bit inexplicable. She touched her head and said, “Actually, I still have a headache, but I don’t like hospitals. It’s the same to get injections and take medicine on time when I get home. The house is more comfortable.”

Lou Xiao still looked at her, mainly looking at her face. He hesitated and asked seriously: “Miss Huo, can you be my model? I have a desire to create when I see you, and I want to paint a picture. You just have to pose casually and it won’t delay your recovery. Is it okay?”

Huo Wei remembered mentioning in the book that Lou Xiao’s only interest besides work was painting, but she didn’t mention it much. Now that they met, she found that Lou Xiao was not only interested in painting, but had a passion for painting. So just now when he saw her, when his opinion value went up, was it because he wanted to paint her when he saw her? Was this the equivalent of an artist meeting a muse? So was such an increase in favorability a muse-exclusive treatment?

She looked at Lou Xiao and blinked. Would she take the opportunity to do something for him as a model?
