Chapter 1009 - 1051: Threat
If they find out about her relationship with Huo Junmo, Huo Junmo could never hope for a peaceful life again! They would surely suck Huo Junmo dry like vampires!
She is their daughter, and no matter how they try to dig money out of her, she can endure it!
But Huo Junmo is different! He has absolutely no relation to them and no right or obligation to give them money! She doesn’t want Huo Junmo to be dragged down by her.
Ling’s father looked suspiciously at Ling Yueyue, clearly showing disbelief.
Seeing Ling’s father’s expression, Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow and coldly asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m lying to you?"
"...!" Ling’s father still stared at her without speaking!
Ling Yueyue’s face turned cold as she sternly warned, "Anyway, I’m laying things down here! Since I started working in my first year of high school, aside from tuition and living expenses, almost all other money has gone to you! Last time, you arranged a marriage for me and also took ten thousand from someone else, which my best friend and I pooled together and repaid! Now I’ve just given you over two thousand! I’m telling you, I really have no money left! If you ask me for more, I’ll sever ties with you completely! The favor of giving me birth, I’ve repaid it over the years! Apart from the ten months I borrowed your wife’s belly, I truly don’t know what you’ve done for me! Anyway, I have a clear conscience!"
"I... understand!" Ling’s father nodded! Although he wanted to expose her relationship with Huo Junmo, he dared not truly infuriate his daughter!
After all, half of their lives have been uncertain, and the children’s future depends on her!
"Let’s go!" Seeing Ling’s father’s manner, Ling Yueyue was annoyed! Rolling her eyes, she turned around and headed towards the elevator without looking back!
Ling’s father made no sound, obediently following behind Ling Yueyue.
The hotel where Ling’s father was staying was just around the bus station, so after leaving the hotel, it didn’t take long to reach the long-distance bus station!
Ling Yueyue lined up to buy a ticket for Ling’s father and escorted him onto the bus!
Only after watching the bus leave, disappear from sight, did she finally breathe a sigh of relief!
After sending off Ling’s father, Ling Yueyue didn’t go back to school but went to her job at a café to handle her resignation!
Although the manager and supervisor tried hard to persuade her to stay, Ling Yueyue was very determined and resolutely chose to resign.
However, due to the sudden resignation, there was a shortage of staff, so Ling Yueyue temporarily couldn’t leave immediately; she had to wait until a new employee was hired before she could leave!
Seeing that they weren’t withholding her salary, Ling Yueyue happily agreed!
Returning home in the evening, Ling Yueyue told Huo Junmo about her resignation! Since the departure time was uncertain, the honeymoon plans were also temporarily undecided!
Though the time wasn’t set, Ling Yueyue began planning which places to visit!
.........
That day, Huo Junmo was in a meeting room having a conference!
Suddenly, the door to the meeting room was pushed open from outside! Li Na walked gently to Huo Junmo’s side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "President, the Madam called saying there’s something important she needs to discuss with you! She mentioned she might be being followed!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Junmo furrowed his brow, said a few words to Meng Bo, then took the phone from Li Na’s hand, stood up, and left the office, only to put the phone to his ear and before he said ’Hello’, the anxious voice of Ling Yueyue came from the other end of the call, "Quickly come and meet us outside the Huo Tian Group, Anxin and I are being followed! I don’t know who their target is! From the looks of it, they seem determined not to give up!"
Huo Junmo frowned and asked, "Where are you now?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then she continued, "Southern Sky Building!"
Huo Junmo paused for a moment, then decisively said, "There’s just one intersection left before reaching Huo Tian, I’ll meet you downstairs, remember, make sure to have the driver drop you at the entrance!"
"Got it!" Ling Yueyue nodded, then hung up the phone!
After hanging up, Huo Junmo did not return to the office but directly took the president’s exclusive elevator downstairs, then walked to the reception to say to the receptionist, "Call the security room and have them send someone out to meet us!"
"Yes!" The receptionist nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed the inside line.
As the receptionist was calling, Huo Junmo couldn’t wait and immediately exited the hall, spotting Ling Yueyue and her best friend Ye Anxin standing at the roadside, preparing to cross the street!
A ten-meter wide double-lane road, Ling Yueyue and Ye Anxin had just reached the middle, when a black Buick suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushing toward them at a startling speed.
Seeing the car suddenly appear, Huo Junmo’s facial expression changed.
Ye Anxin’s face turned pale, Ling Yueyue’s breath caught!
Just as the car was about to hit them, Ling Yueyue suddenly pushed Ye Anxin to the ground, rolling to the side, narrowly dodging the fatal collision.
At that moment, numerous security personnel rushed out from Huo Tian Group, heading towards Ling Yueyue and Ye Anxin.
After the first unsuccessful attempt, the black Buick quickly reversed, trying to run over Ling Yueyue and Ye Anxin again.
"Anxin, run fast!" Ling Yueyue reacted immediately, hastily pulling Ye Anxin up from the ground, sprinting toward Huo Tian Building.
Just as the back of the black Buick neared Ling Yueyue and Ye Anxin, the rescuing security guards had already rushed over!
The Buick paused briefly, then accelerated away and fled.
Huo Junmo walked quickly to the two of them, full of concern, "Are you guys okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ling Yueyue was too late to respond, then she heard Ye Anxin beside her suddenly cry out in pain; when Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue turned to look, she had already fallen to the ground.
Ling Yueyue hurriedly crouched down to check on her condition, "Anxin, what’s wrong with you?"
Large beads of sweat rolled down Ye Anxin’s forehead, her lips clamped tightly but she didn’t answer, instead slowly rolling up her jeans.
"Oh God!" Upon seeing Ye Anxin’s bloody and mangled knee, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but scream.
"You’re injured?" Huo Junmo spoke, his tone unable to hide his concern.
Ye Anxin tightly bit her lip, nodding with great difficulty!
"What should we do? Let’s go, I’ll carry you to the hospital!" Seeing her injuries, Ling Yueyue panicked, lifting her arm onto her shoulder and getting ready to leave.
"Yueyue!" Ye Anxin hurriedly held her back!
"To my office! You’re not fit to walk, let me carry you inside!" Before Ling Yueyue could respond, Huo Junmo had already bent down to lift Ye Anxin off the ground, striding toward Huo Tian Group.
Ling Yueyue stood dumbfounded, watching Huo Junmo carrying Ye Anxin as he walked away without looking back, her heart inexplicably aching, she touched her injured right hand’s wrist, feeling slightly dazed.
