Seeing him show up, Ye Tongtong, who was originally fearless and arrogant, suddenly lost her temper.

She subconsciously shrank back and smiled apologetically: "Huo, Mr. Huo...I'm not, I just saw that Cheng Lin hasn't been to school, and I was worried and came to ask."

If that's the case, why didn't he receive a call from her?

Huo Chenglin looked at her deeply, his tone a little cold: "This is the greenhouse, why did Mom ask me to come here?"

"What's with that tone of voice?" Ye Tongtong remained calm when facing Huo Chenglin. She angrily scolded, "Do you think you're interrogating a criminal? I'm your mother! How can you talk to me like that?"

"That's enough. If you want to throw a tantrum, go somewhere else."

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but frown and interrupted her coldly.

After what happened at school last time, she had no good feelings towards the woman in front of her.

Now seeing her dressed up so extravagantly and treating Huo Chenglin so badly, he felt even more disgusted.

Her eyes were as cold as ice as she demanded, "How did you get in? What are you doing in the greenhouse?"

"Mrs. Huo is too nosy..." Ye Tongtong looked down on me and said with a frown, "Is it okay if I get lost? What's so interesting about a shabby greenhouse?"

"Ms. Ye." Huo Yan's dark eyes were oppressive, and he said coldly, "If you don't explain clearly, don't blame me for being rude."

"This is my wife, Huo Yan. Please show some respect."

Ye Tongtong shuddered violently.

She was obviously very afraid of Huo Yan. Not only did she not dare to reply when he scolded her, but she also behaved as obediently as a quail.

"I, I said I was Cheng Lin's mother, and the guard let me in." She clutched her handbag and explained carefully: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I just stopped by to take a look when I walked here... I really didn't mean to do it."

"What's so good about a greenhouse..." She lowered her eyes and licked her lips. "I went to school to look for Cheng Lin, only to find out that he had taken leave. Now is the critical time for his senior year, what will happen to his college entrance examination if he takes leave? As a mother, I am worried about my own child, so I came to your house..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ruan Xingchen beside him meaningfully.

Huo Chenglin frowned, "It's none of other people's business. I decided on my own to take a leave and study at home."

"You're just a child, what do you know?" Ye Tongtong glared at him secretly: "You are young now, and you only know how to play. I am your biological mother, how can I harm you? I am doing this for your own good..."

"When you grow up, you'll understand your mother's painstaking efforts." She put on a serious face and advised: "How can you survive at home without the constraints and atmosphere of school? Aren't you going to college? Others have nothing to do with you. Of course, you can do whatever you want to please you."

"You might be having fun now, but who will be responsible for you in the future? If you don't live well in the future, will the people who asked you to take leave even look at you?" He became more and more sarcastic, and the traces of indirect criticism became more obvious: "Little fool, you're still helping others count the money after you've been sold."

"I agreed to his request for leave." Huo Yan frowned. "He's seventeen, not seven. He knows what he wants and what he should do."

"I..." Facing him, Ye Tongtong could only smile awkwardly: "I am also worried about the child. This damn child, such a big thing, didn't even inform me."

"I thought mom wouldn't care." Huo Chenglin couldn't help but sarcastically say.

"You!" Ye Tongtong subconsciously wanted to get angry, but when she realized what was going on, she forced herself to hold it back and managed a smile: "What nonsense, you are a piece of flesh that fell from my body. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?"

Huo Chenglin lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Ms. Ye, do you want to continue looking at flowers?" Ruan Xingchen's attitude was cold, blocking the door of the greenhouse: "If there are any you like, just tell me, I'll send someone to bring them to you."

Why are you so proud? Isn't it just that you hooked up with Huo Yan?

A pheasant is a pheasant; even if it climbs onto a branch, it cannot turn into a phoenix.

You are so stingy. Who would care about a broken pot of flowers?

Ye Tongtong secretly rolled her eyes and waved her hands: "I won't look at it anymore. I don't understand this either. I can't recognize any flowers."

"Cheng Lin." She winked at her son: "Come on, Mom wants to talk to you alone."

Huo Chenglin was silent for a moment and took her back to his room.

Huo Qianqian was left fuming like a pufferfish, speechless for a long time. "What kind of person is she?! She rolls her eyes at everyone, like she can't see them... She's just a prostitute. If the old man wasn't picky, would she be worthy of entering the Huo family?"

"A mother keeps saying she's looking after her son, but she didn't even bring anything." She pouted, "Sister-in-law, check yourself...especially Mr. Gu's orchid. I always feel that this woman has impure motives."

"I just checked, it's fine." Ruan Xingchen was also alert in his heart, lowering his eyes and said, "Maybe he really just got lost."

"Whether they're lost or not, the guards should be replaced." Huo Yan's eyes were deep and he said in a cold voice, "I was negligent some time ago. I asked Assistant He to arrange two reliable people to guard the greenhouse."

Only the Huo family members and the gardener would come here, so they had not been on high alert before.

Now that something like this has happened, it serves as a wake-up call for everyone.

No matter what, Ruan Xingchen had already made it known at the banquet that nothing could happen to Mr. Gu's double-petaled lotus flower.

Ruan Xingchen nodded, agreeing with his proposal.

Huo Chenglin closed the door with a sullen face and turned to look at Ye Tongtong who was looking around his room: "What on earth are you doing here? What is your purpose in going to the greenhouse?"

"What purpose could I have?" Ye Tongtong sat on the bed nonchalantly, tiptoeing, "Didn't I tell you I came here to see you?"

"Is it fun to tell these lies in front of me?" Huo Chenglin suddenly stood up and approached her, grabbing her wrist: "What are you planning?"

"Huo Chenglin, how dare you talk to me?!"

Ye Tongtong flew into a rage. She pulled out her hand and slapped him without hesitation: "I'm your mother! Are you interrogating a criminal?"

"Snapped!"

Huo Chenglin's face was hit and tilted to the side, and a clear slap mark soon appeared on his cold white skin.

Ye Tongtong turned a blind eye and shouted, "You dare to ask me? I haven't asked you yet! Who asked you to take leave? Do you still recognize me as your mother? It's harder than climbing to heaven for me to see you now. I went through ten months of hardship carrying you, just to kneel down to see you."

"I didn't." Huo Chenglin frowned: "I said, I'm not happy staying in school. Even if I don't go to school there, I will come to see you."

Ye Tongtong was so obsessed with Qiu Shui High School simply because her house was only one street away from there.
