Chapter 226 226. Greedy People’s Hearts

She casually made a portion of egg fried rice, sat at the dining table alone, finished eating in silence, and put away the tableware silently.

When he returned to the hall, Xue Yuming was the only one left on the sofa.

"Come here!" she said sternly.

Lu Chaoyang walked over slowly, did not sit down, but stood one meter away from her, "Is something wrong?"

"You still have the nerve to cry?"

Xue Yuming noticed the red bloodshot eyes, but did not say anything to comfort her.

Just because of Lu Chaoyang, she was criticized by Mrs. Huo again! The anger is not gone yet!

I originally thought that this child had a good relationship with Huo Yunting and could help me, but what?

What a mess, to actually do something like this!

"..."

Lu Chaoyang's heart only had a bitter taste. Her mother, her only relative in the family, actually helped others treat her like this.

"Don't think about the matter between you and Huo Chen. I said it's impossible. If you still want to stay in the Huo family, just stop thinking about it. Who can show you this distracted look? Do you think he is far away? Can I still protect you in the army? The old lady has the final say at home. If she doesn’t want to see you now, your life will not be easy, do you understand?"

Xue Yuming said seriously and stood up to leave. After all, it was her biological daughter, and she still felt sorry for Lu Chaoyang.

But no matter how distressed I am, I can't ruin my current life because of her.

"I didn't want to stay with him. I left for other reasons, not what you think."

What she was running away from was Huo Yunting, and the embarrassment and entanglement between him and Xue Yuming.

"I haven't learned any other skills at work in the past few years, but I am really good at talking back. I am worthy of being Yunting's chief secretary!" Xue Yuming stopped and glared at her, "You'd better be honest, who is the second master? He's a major general, a soldier! Even if you don't consider your own reputation, you should consider him, right? Are you still so selfish and only think about yourself!"

Lu Chaoyang had nothing to say. If she only thought about herself, she would not come back.

She stood there and watched Xue Yuming leave. When she heard the whispers of the servants coming and going in the hall, she turned around and slowly walked upstairs.

When she returned to the room, she clutched her cell phone tightly, but she didn't know who to call.

Leaning against the bed, Lu Chaoyang finally fell asleep.

She seemed to be dreaming about Chen, and they were still in France, living together peacefully and comfortably.

He was riding a bicycle, and she was sitting in the back seat, holding a small basket with freshly picked lavender in her hand, ready to go home for decoration.

jingle--

When he heard the ringtone of his cell phone, Lu Chaoyang woke up almost immediately. Looking at the unfamiliar numbers on it, he picked up the phone without hesitation.

I had an intuition in my heart that this was Huo Chen's phone number!

"Is that you..." she asked cautiously.

"Yangyang." A familiar voice came, and her heart almost skipped a beat.

It’s really Chen!

"How is your injury? Are you feeling better?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. How about you? Did they make things difficult for you?" Huo Chen was alone in the office at the moment.

Someone had been guarding him before, and he was not allowed to make phone calls or contact his family.

Knowing that it was the old lady's instruction, he was even more worried about Yangyang's current situation.

"Don't worry about me, nothing will happen to them, and you are protecting me!"

As Lu Chaoyang spoke, he slowly shrank into the quilt. The cold wind howling outside sounded eerie.
