Chapter 216 The Mother and Daughter Turned Against Each Other

The sight of Zhang Yufang was like a cold and sharp dagger containing her anger and disgust.

“Jiahui, what happened?”

Seeing her mother’s angry face, Huo Jiahui pursed her lips and gently said, “Mommy, my brother threatened me with your safety.”

At this time, if she wanted to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with her mother, she must explain the nature of the matter clearly.

However, hearing Huo Jiahui’s words, Zhang Yufang became angrier and showed an ironic smile at this time. “Threaten you with the safety of your sister and me?”

Huo Jiahui understood the trace of sarcasm in her words. She looked at her mother and nearly wanted to cry. “Mommy, you don’t believe me?”

Almost without thinking, Zhang Yufang coldly uttered these words. “No, I don’t.”

With an icy face, she looked at her elder daughter. “You haven’t been so obedient as your sister since you were a child. I allowed you to go out to develop when you were only a teenager. However, now, after so many years of acting outside, you even aren’t willing to tell the truth to your mother and sister.”

Huo Jiahui disappointedly stared at her mother. “Mommy…”

Mommy, why didn’t you believe me?

Everything I said was true.

“You said that Huo Ting threatened you. You are smart. Even if Huo Ting threatened you, why didn’t you think that he is nothing in the Huo family while Xiong is the master? How could he dare to harm your sister and me?”

Seeing her mother treat her biological sister badly when she was down, Huo Jiaying showed some sympathy for her and tugged Zhang Yufang’s sleeve. “Mommy, stop speaking… My sister might have had troubles…”

“Troubles?” Zhang Yufang sneered. She suddenly shook off Huo Jiaying, who was tugging her sleeve, and stood up from the couch. “I brought her up. She thinks that I don’t know her way of doing things because I don’t follow her anywhere and anytime! That she said she had troubles is just a perfunctory answer. She supported Huo Ting because she betrayed us.”

Huo Jiahui incredibly shook her head. “Mommy, how could you say so? You brought me up. I am your own daughter. I helped my brother to testify against the brothers of Xiao Family because I was afraid that you would be hurt.”

Zhang Yufang still knew nothing about what had happened at Xiao Family’s dinner party. When hearing that Huo Jiahui testified against Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang at this moment, she turned to ask Huo Jiaying, “Jiaying, what happened on earth?”

Raising her head, Huo Jiaying awkwardly looked at her sister and explained slowly, “Someone framed us for going to the hospital to kill Elder Xiao. My sister pretended to be me and admitted that we went to the hospital that day to kill Elder Xiao indeed. She claimed that Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang ordered us to do so.”

Every word Huo Jiaying said was transmitted into Zhang Yufang’s ears. Zhang Yufang’s face became darker and darker as her daughter spoke.

After standing stiffly for a few seconds, all of a sudden, she strode forward and gave her elder daughter a fierce slap in the face after raising her hand abruptly.

No one had beaten Huo Jiahui’s face since her birth.

However, her mother raised the hand and gave her a heavy slap today.

She was stunned. A wisp of long hair covered her cheek. However, the slap left red fingerprints on her face since it was too heavy and hard.

Huo Jiaying was frightened and looked at her sister, covering her mouth.

Huo Jiahui kept her face tilting after being slapped for a long while without moving.

Zhang Yufang was on the warpath. “You did that for your sister and me, didn’t you? It is so nice of you to say that. As far as I’m concerned, you did that simply for your reputation.”

Huo Jiaying was stunned and didn’t understand what her mother said.

Huo Jiahui slowly raised her hand to cover her badly beaten cheek which was so hurt. Touching the bruised skin with her fingers, she didn’t look up or speak.

“You have been living on your beautiful face in the entertainment industry. You don’t want others to know that you are disfigured, so you chose to help Huo Ting and took the opportunity to pretend that the disfigured person is your sister, not you.”

Huo Jiahui didn’t speak. However, Huo Jiaying was stunned and shocked by her mother’s statement.

“Am I right? Tell me!”

Zhang Yufang angrily stared at Huo Jiahui.

Huo Jiahui touched her cheek and said nothing for a long time.

But Zhang Yufang refused to stop speaking. “I have been so kind to you since you were a child. How could I bring up such a daughter like you?”

It was fine that Zhang Yufang didn’t mention it. Now Zhang Yufang’s words made her childhood memory surge in Huo Jiahui’s mind.

While these two sisters fell at the same time, their mother always chose to help the younger sister up and cared for her first.

While her things were taken away by her younger sister, she couldn’t be angry or compete with her younger sister.

She needed to be tolerant and generous.

She needed to be obedient and protect her younger sister.

Her younger sister was loved and cared for by the father and the mother. However, she couldn’t get any concern from her mother.

Why were they so partial to her younger sister?

She had accepted her mother’s preference to her younger sister. But what she had done was obviously for her mother’s sake. Why did her mother repeatedly say that everything she had done was for herself?

Zhang Yufang saw that she couldn’t say anything. Suddenly, she pointed at the door after raising her hand and scolded, “Get out! I never want to see you again!”

Huo Jiaying could not help shouting, “Mommy…”

Zhang Yufang reprimanded her with a bad temper. “Shut up! Don’t intercede with me for her!”

Listening to what her mother said, Huo Jiahui’s eyes were sore for a while, but she was wooden and stiff.

Seeing her stand still without moving, Zhang Yufang was aggressive to drive her away.

“Won’t you leave? Nanny Lin, kick her out. You are no longer my daughter from today.”

As soon as Zhang Yufang finished her words, Huo Jiahui suddenly raised her head and glared at her mother with her crying red eyes. “Have you ever regarded me as your daughter for just one day?”

Her voice was low but powerful.

It was like a hammer of thousands of tons pounding Zhang Yufang, and she could not help being stunned.

The whole living room suddenly fell silent.

Huo Jiahui looked at her mother in disappointment. “I am your daughter, but you have always ignored me. The one you can see in your eyes is always Jiaying. Have you ever cared about me or missed me for one day? I am worried about you, but you don’t believe it at all. The reason why you think so is that you know that your concern for me is not worth my concern for you, right?”

Huo Jiahui’s tone was not intense, but every word contained a force that made people unable to breathe.

Zhang Yufang was shocked by Huo Jiahui’s words at once.

Huo Jiahui stood up slowly and took away her hand covering her cheek. Then she took a breath and calmed herself down. “You don’t have to drive me away. From now on, I will never come back to see you. Since you don’t want me to be your daughter, I don’t want you to be my mother anymore.”
