Chapter 364: Parents’ Difficulties

Now, Huo You was using what they had said before to refute them. She was curious how Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo would react to this. She looked at her parents’ expressions with a faint smile, wanting to see the awkwardness of her slap from their faces.

However, how could ordinary people compare to Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s mental fortitude? The two of them were speechless for a moment, then they continued to persuade Huo You as if they had completely forgotten that they were the ones who had said those words.

This time, Mr. Huo also joined in. He softened his tone and said gently, “Youyou, Dad is a man and understands men’s bad habits the best. Especially for a man like He Yu, who has his company firmly in his hands. He definitely won’t share his rights with anyone. Even in his family, he has to be an absolute
ruler.”

“Living with such a man will be very difficult for you, but it’s different for the young members of the Hill Family. They live rich and carefree lives. In order to prevent power struggles, the elders in the family usually raise those children to be upright and kind. If you get together with such a man, he will
love and respect you. Isn’t such a marriage life much better than being with He Yu?”

‘Mr. Huo gave Mrs. Huo a look again. This time, there was no warmth in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of stern warning, as if he was saying, “If you still can’t satisfy me, I’ll teach you a lesson later!”
Mrs. Huo’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly pulled herself together. She forced a smile on her lips. Even though it affected the wound on her cheek and it hurt so much that she wanted to frown, Mrs. Huo endured it.

She persuaded her gently, “Youyou, your father and I are not completely satisfied with He Yu as our son-in-law. Back then, we didn’t listen to your opinion and forced you to get engaged to He Yu because we had our difficulties, Back then, he used the private matters between the two of you to force your
father and me. As parents, how would we be willing to see our daughter’s reputation be ruined? We had no choice but to agree to his proposal for a political marriage…”

With that, Mrs. Huo let out a long sigh as if she had her own difficulties.
No one expected Mrs, Huo to say such words. Even Mr. Huo, who knew his wife well, couldn’t help but look at her.

Mr. Huo first felt a little puzzled by Mrs. Huo’s words, not understanding why she would find such a reason. Then, after some thought, he understood the brilliance of this explanation.

Mr. Huo could not help but think that as long as Mrs. Huo did not slack off like earlier, her brain was still very useful. She actually thought of an extremely suitable reason in such a short time.

Indeed, just as Mr. Huo had expected, Mrs. Huo said to Huo You worriedly, “Actually, when He Yu first asked your father and me for permission to get engaged to you, we were very against it. You’ve just returned to the Huo Family for half a year and haven’t graduated from high school. How can we bear to
let you get married?”

“But He Yu is a despicable and shameless person. He was honest and said that he already had an affair with you. If your father and I don’t agree to your marriage, he will spread your private photos and videos, causing you to be a topic for discussion. It will also make our Huo Family lose face. Your father
and I had no choice but to agree.”

The Huo You from her previous life might have been muddled by Mrs. Huo’s words. However, she had lived for one lifetime and had long seen what her mother was like. How could I believe Mrs. Huo’s words?

If it was really as Mrs. Huo had said, and they didn’t want to agree to let their daughter marry He Yu, then when He Yu used their private photos and videos to threaten the Huo Family’s couple, the most likely thing Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo would do would be to announce to the public that the previous
acknowledgment was a blunder. They would pretend that Huo You’s DNA test report was fake and that she had nothing to do with the Huo Family.

As long as Huo You was kicked out of the Huo Family, even if He Yu were to spread the so-called private photos and videos, it wouldn’t affect the Huo Family’s reputation at all… This method was in line with the logic of how the Huo Family did things!

However, these two people could find such a dignified reason without batting an eyelid. They instantly turned themselves from the aggressors to victims, pushing all the blame onto He Yu..
