The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Even if one is inexperienced in worldly affairs, considering the recent major events within the Huo family, one should be able to see what Huo Jiuzhou's intention is.

It was not enough to just vent Huo Wanwan's anger. She guessed that he wanted to hear what Shi Rong would say about this matter.

"Is not it?"

She is quite smart. She figured out the whole story so quickly?

The sarcastic voice of Huo Jiuzhou was sharp and piercing, like a powerful and ferocious beast, repeatedly striking her fragile soul.

"Everything was fine originally, but he just met you once and suddenly asked to break off the engagement. Why don't you tell me, Shi Rong, how would you feel if it were you? I've warned you more than once, stop dreaming about things that don't belong to you. Since you dared to ignore my words, you should have thought about the consequences today."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Shi Rong's laughter, like a silver bell, came suddenly, like a clear mountain spring, leisurely passing by his ears, but it also carried an unexpected irony.

"Huo Jiuzhou, Huo Jiuzhou, your Huo family has been smart all their lives, but even they can be foolish for a moment. As you can see, that's the subconscious reaction everyone should have when they see me. Do you understand? In your eyes, is the respected and honored son of the Fei family not as discerning as these small business representatives?"

Shi Rong took the question he had just asked himself and returned it to him intactly.

As he put away the smile on his face, he also withdrew his fingers that were reaching out towards the door.

"His standards will only be higher. Instead of saying that you, the Seventh Miss of the Huo family, are in trouble and don't want to find the cause within yourself, why don't you just be straightforward and say that you don't like me. Wouldn't it be better to kill me and the world would be at peace? Why bother? Do you find it amusing to teach me a lesson again and again? Do you just want to see me belittle myself? Or are you afraid of dirtying your own delicate hands and need me to end it myself? Just say it, I'll do it."

She said this lightly, as if she had already put life and death aside.

In Shi Rong's eyes, the joys and sorrows of the seventh daughter of the Huo family were never of great importance.

Since he has to keep revolving around her, it would be better to end it all at once and save everyone trouble.

"If in your eyes, I, Shi Rong, am just an incompetent person who loves life and fears death, then you are overthinking it. The simplest truth is, if that were the case, I would not have insisted on coming for you in the first place."

This was the first time that Shi Rongren had spoken so much to Huo Jiuzhou since he came back, but every word he said broke his heart and made him feel guilty.

"Please go back and tell your self-righteous grandfather and that pretentious Seventh Miss of the Huo family that I, Shi Rong, was born lowly, but I don't owe them anything! If Fei Zeyi and I really had any shady feelings, it wouldn't be your Huo family's turn to get him engaged. After all, you've experienced my insidiousness before."

After a pause, Shi Rong continued.

"Also, if Huo Yan doesn't kill me today, I will make him regret it one day!"

Shi Rong finished speaking without any hesitation and said no more. He just closed his eyes quietly, waiting for the man's decisive judgment.

The expected storm had not subsided yet, and Shi Rong was too lazy to open her eyes. She felt that it was a waste of time to even look at the man one more time.

"Very good, Shi Rong. It seems that you are now able to stand on your own."

This guy is so mean!

When she was silent, he was furious and spoke harshly; when she was acting recklessly, he was unexpectedly tolerant and generous and gave her a break.

Even the tone of his voice was unusually calm. Shi Rong thought he was going to kill him with a single blow. How boring!

"Kneel here and see how long you can keep your mouth shut."

After a pause, the man seemed to think of something, and looking back, he looked at her arrogantly and added coldly.

"Shi Rong, remember one thing. Even if you want to die, I, Huo Jiuzhou, must grant your wish. Unless you don't want your brother Shi Yang's life, believe me, since I can make your life miserable, I can also make his death easy."

After giving the solemn warning, the man straightened the wrinkles on his coat with an elegant posture, put one hand in his pocket, and turned away in a dashing manner.

It was not until the door of the box was slammed shut from the outside that Shi Rong opened his eyes again and looked around at this luxurious, dimly lit room.

This room is so beautiful! Even she, kneeling here to be punished, feels that it is a magnificent place that can make guests happy.

Unfortunately, it is not her paradise.

Soon, Shi Rong began to shiver with cold. Her mouth was dry, her head was dizzy, and her throat felt like it was about to spit fire.

She raised her hand and touched her burning forehead. The high fever caused by the stimulation of ice water had indeed come... She thought that this time, she could also be tenacious and survive it.

At this moment, her waist was already splitting with pain and numbness, and the bones all over her body were swollen, painful, and weak. Even every time she exhaled, it was an endless torture.

In fact, if she just admitted her mistake, perhaps Huo Jiuzhou would be merciful and let her go, but she was just too stubborn to ask for it.

Because admitting her mistakes is useless. Not only will people look down on her, but it will also bring her more severe punishment in the future.

It seems that we still can't trust what outsiders say. Who said that everything will slowly get better? That's pure bullshit!

An hour later, the dull pain in Shi Rong's body worsened again. She was shaking violently, and her knees and lower back also lost sensation. She knew this was not a good sign. If she continued to kneel like this, she would die sooner or later.

But she remained stubborn and refused to beg for mercy.

If you have the guts, kill her. If you can't kill her today, she will just think it's the Huo family's fault.

"Shi Rong, how are you? Are you okay?"

Ai Rou, who had been lying on the crack of the box door the whole time, keeping a close eye on her changes in state, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

She took out a pack of makeup remover wipes and touched it while helping her wipe off the ugly makeup residue on her face.

The moment his delicate palm touched her rough forehead, he suddenly shrank back because of the heat.

"Oh my god! It's so hot? You have a fever! Get up quickly, I'll take you to the hospital. Mr. Huo won't say anything."

As Ai Rou spoke, she reached out and pulled her slender arm.

"Sister Rou, I'm fine."

She didn't know where her stubbornness came from, but she actually had the strength to push away Ai Rou's care and rejected her kindness without thinking.

"Shi Rong!"

Ai Rou was anxious. This was the first time she got furious in front of Shi Rong.

"Stop being so stubborn! You won't die if you admit your mistake! But if you keep burning like this, you'll really die! If you're not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of living?"

"afraid."

The woman said it without hesitation.

"If I had a chance to die quickly right now, I would be extremely grateful. So, Sister Rou, if you really want to help me, just pretend you didn't see it..."
