Tianxin looked at her mother in shock, tears streaming from her large eyes.

She never expected her mom would hit her; this was the first time her mom hit her...

"Huo Tianxin, you’ll always be a Huo! You can never change this fact!" Tian Xingyun angrily chastised her daughter through gritted teeth.

With her hands trembling as she withdrew them, she was furious at what her daughter had just said.

She absolutely couldn’t allow her child to say such rebellious words!

They were born into the Huo Family, and they must bear the responsibility of the Huo Family!

It’s a responsibility they cannot escape from or shirk!

"Mom, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said such unfilial words..." Tianxin apologized introspectively, tears silently falling to wet the carpet.

"You, Tinghao, and Tingxuan can’t change this fact! You are children of the Huo Family, you must bear these responsibilities! You are not ordinary people who can act willfully!"

"Mom, I can inherit the company, I can train like my brother, but I don’t want to be separated from Brother Ziyang!" Tianxin looked up, pleadingly grabbing her mom’s arm.

She could accept any punishment but could not accept being separated from Brother Ziyang.

"These are things you should inherit, not conditions you can use to negotiate! Even without Ziyang, you must inherit all of this because you are a Huo!" Tian Xingyun said ruthlessly, not allowing Tianxin to escape.

She would not let her use these things to negotiate!

"Mom, I really want to be with Brother Ziyang, you can’t do this..."

"Come home with me, calm down for a few days first! At home, don’t let your father see anything amiss, otherwise you know what the consequences will be! He spoils you and couldn’t bear to hit you, but Ziyang is different!" Tian Xingyun grabbed Tianxin’s arm and pulled her towards the door.

"Mom, I don’t want to be separated from Brother Ziyang..."

"Tell me this when you’ve calmed down!" Tian Xingyun pulled Tianxin to the door, opened it, and walked out.

"Mom, I’m very calm!" As Tianxin exited the room, she looked around for Ziyang but didn’t see him.

Where did Brother Ziyang go? Why couldn’t she see him?

"Save your tears; if you dare cry like this at home, don’t blame me for being heartless!"

"Mom..." Tianxin silently cried, not daring to speak further.

She knew her mom said this for her and Brother Ziyang’s sake.

If dad found out, Brother Ziyang would be terribly reprimanded...

She must not cry, must not let dad see anything out of the ordinary!

Tian Xingyun left the hotel with Tianxin, where the car was already waiting at the door.

She pulled Tianxin into the car, leaving the hotel, while Tianxin looked outside through the window.

Where did Brother Ziyang go? Why couldn’t she see him...

Suddenly opening her eyes wide, she turned her head fearfully to her mom and asked, "Mom, where did you take Brother Ziyang?!"

Brother Ziyang wouldn’t leave her, it must be her mom who had someone take Brother Ziyang away!

"I just asked him not to come to you for these two days to let you calmly think it over!" Tian Xingyun answered coldly.

She knew her daughter truly liked Ziyang, but they had so many difficulties to face.

"Mom, how could you do this! I want to get out of the car to find Brother Ziyang!"

Tian Xingyun remained silent, and no matter how much Tianxin fussed, she wouldn’t let her out.

The car door was locked; she couldn’t get out!

――

Meanwhile, Ziyang and Ziqian were blocked by Tian Xingyun’s bodyguards in the parking lot.

"Ziqian, Ziyang, we’re brothers and don’t want to fight you! We dare not defy Madam’s orders!" The leading man said.
