During this period, the relationship between Mother Huo and Huo Miao dropped to a freezing point.
While Huo Miao was hospitalized, the sound of arguments between Mother Huo and Huo Miao could often be heard from the ward.
Due to the company’s report, Huo Song was taken away by the police for investigation.
Mother Huo, unable to see Huo Song and unable to intervene in the company’s matters, could only vent her anger on Huo Miao.
She was filled with hatred towards the child in Huo Miao’s belly and insisted the hospital abort the child.
However, the decision to abort the child was not hers to make. The choice was in Huo Miao’s hands.
After the relationship between Huo Miao and Huo Song was exposed to everyone, she also thoroughly broke with Mother Huo. Not only did she refuse to get an abortion, but she also retaliated by getting Huo Ziheng thrown into jail.
Huo Miao resented Jiang Ning, and hated Huo Ziheng even more for exposing her relationship with Huo Song to the public.
What Huo Ziheng had done was no less than nailing her and Huo Song to the pillar of shame.
The next day, Huo Miao reported to the police under the guise of violating privacy, and to this day, Huo Ziheng remains in the detention center.
The affair between Huo Song and Huo Miao caused quite a stir online. Originally, netizens were already displeased with Huo Corporation because of Jiang Ning’s previous cold reception at the Huo Family. After this incident, their disdain for Huo’s grew stronger.
During this period, Huo Corporation’s stock has plummeted, and its market value has evaporated by hundreds of millions in a short time.
Both Huo Song and Huo Ziheng were detained and investigated.
The twins, Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, didn’t contribute anything to the company.
Huo Minghui, who had been out collecting sources for months, was nowhere to be found, and no one could contact him.
Now all the pressure on the company fell on Huo Li alone.
Mother Huo demanded that Huo Miao go to the hospital for an abortion and drop the charges to get Huo Ziheng out of jail.
Huo Miao disagreed with both requests, instead threatening Mother Huo and Huo Li to fight for inheritance rights from the Huo Family for her and her unborn child.
Now, Huo Miao has come to terms with the fact that given her current relationship with Huo Song, reconciling with other Huo family members is impossible.
Mother Huo will never accept her as her daughter again.
Since that’s the case, she wants to maximize her benefits.
No talk of feelings, just money.
In recent months, her only close encounter had been with Huo Song, and the identity of her unborn child’s father was unquestionable.
She was no longer afraid even if taken for an appraisal.
She had an early start in her career with the backing of the Huo Family, and good resources. She hadn’t put much effort into her studies and had only obtained a diploma from an ordinary art college.
Now her reputation online is poor and infamous, and no one will hire her. If she leaves the Huo Family, she won’t even be able to support herself.
The wealthy heirs who pursued her previously have disappeared during this time or only want her as a second choice.
Boys with a semblance of ability and reputation are unwilling to marry her.
Those willing to marry her are either incompetent or wish to take advantage of her.
The only best interest she can strive for now is the Huo family’s property!
When Huo Miao said this, it practically touched Mother Huo’s raw nerve.
That day in the hospital, Mother Huo couldn’t hold back and started cursing at Huo Miao, hurling all manner of unspeakable words at her. Despite Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian’s attempts to mediate, they were of no use until Huo Li arrived to stop the tirade.
Afterward, Huo Li decided to take Huo Miao out of the hospital.
Currently, the Huo Corporation is on the verge of collapse and cannot withstand more turmoil.
Huo Li didn’t want the Huo family’s affairs to continuously be ridiculed by outsiders because of Huo Miao.
Huo Li originally wanted to bring Huo Miao back to the Huo Family, but Mother Huo disagreed, strongly and furiously asserting, "If I’m here, she cannot be; if she’s here, I won’t be."
Unable to do anything, Huo Li temporarily settled Huo Miao in his duplex apartment in Capital City.
Given that Huo Miao is pregnant and physically inconvenient, Huo Li specially hired a caregiver to look after her while also monitoring her to prevent further trouble.
Mother Huo was so angry that she developed high blood pressure but was helpless against Huo Miao.
During this period, Mother Huo would come and make a fuss at Huo Miao’s place roughly every two days.
Huo Li’s apartment is a single detached duplex, with houses in this residential area being separated and very private, so no matter how noisy it gets, it wouldn’t be watched by outsiders like it was at the hospital before, so Huo Li did not stop Mother Huo from coming.
