Chapter 72: Chapter 72: He Thinks She’s So Good~

An Ge blurted out without thinking, "No, how could it be?"

Huo Shaoyan sneered, "Really?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." An Ge nodded vigorously.

Huo Shaoyan climbed upstairs with a stony expression.

Watching his retreating figure, An Ge mused in surprise. Was that all?

After Huo Shaoyan’s figure completely disappeared, An Baoying, who clearly noticed that Huo Shaoyan treated An Ge unusually, stormed up to An Ge and demanded, "Can we talk?"

An Ge refused, "I don’t have time."

Not daring to make a fuss in the Huo Family, An Baoying leaned in to hiss at An Ge, "Then it seems you better prepare a coffin for your mom’s corpse sooner."

An Ge remained silent.

Five minutes later, An Ge and An Baoying stood facing each other in the outdoor garden.

Once certain no one was around, An Baoying got straight to the point, "Have you forgotten what you promised us? You took our fifty thousand deposit, and not only did you not help me become Young Madam Huo, but you also opposed me at every turn. What exactly are you trying to do?"

An Ge thought for a moment, then said, "An Baoying, let me give you some advice. Among the elders Huo Shaoyan cares about, both Mrs. Huo and the Second Madam oppose you marrying him, but his mother is quite concerned about the baby in your belly; she seems supportive. So, you should go find her."

After speaking, An Ge played a recording for An Baoying from her phone.

The recording lasted only ten seconds but captured the truth of An Baoying threatening An Ge a year ago to take the fall for her.

Listening to it, An Baoying was furious and trembling.

An Ge calmly observed her reaction before saying, "No matter what settlement you reached with the mother of the disabled child you hit, if this recording reaches Young Master Huo, you probably won’t become Mrs. Huo."

She paused, "So, for the sake of our mutual interests, let’s not push each other too hard, okay?"

An Baoying was desperate to marry Huo Shaoyan, even faking pregnancy, so she couldn’t afford to fail halfway. An Ge’s words frightened her.

Retreating to advance, she said, "Don’t worry, as long as you help me become Young Madam Huo, I’ll definitely have my mom donate bone marrow to save your mom’s life."

She paused again, "How about this, to show sincerity, this week I’ll have my mom donate bone marrow to your mom, but I need you to permanently delete this audio, okay?"

An Ge’s goal was to save her mom’s life, so she wavered at An Baoying’s words.

She said, "Okay." After a pause, "Once your mom completes the bone marrow transplant for my mom, I’ll delete it."

An Baoying squinted slightly, "Fine."

After chatting a bit more, An Ge parted ways with An Baoying.

She planned to have breakfast, visit the hospital to see her mom, and then buy a computer to work on a business BP. If the BP was successful, she would meet with Shen Hongxiu in the afternoon to discuss collaboration.

An Ge, plotting in her mind, unknowingly returned to the living room.

The moment she stepped inside, she saw Huo Shaoyan coming downstairs after a morning jog and shower, throwing Xiao Ye’s nutritional gifts all over the place.

They were scattered everywhere.

Some even broke, spilling their contents on the floor.

An Ge felt a pang of heartache.

Can’t he stop being so wasteful? These are the fruits of hard labor. Even if she’s not allowed to accept gifts from others, could they at least be given as perks to the staff?

"Throw all of these in the trash. I don’t want to see them!"

Huo Shaoyan said this to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu quickly summoned a few maids to help him clean up.

In about a minute, the mess was neatly cleaned.

An Ge really didn’t want any interaction with the tyrant, but since he already saw her, she couldn’t pretend not to notice.

When everything you have is controlled by an absolute superior, you’ve got two choices: find the right time to rebel or absolutely comply. The former requires strength and courage but comes with high risk. The latter requires you to be submissive, with nearly zero risk.

An Ge chose the latter.

She approached Huo Shaoyan eagerly, ingratiatingly, "Young Master Huo, have you had breakfast yet? Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll make it for you."

Huo Shaoyan took note of her compliance but ignored her and walked away.

Just as An Ge felt relieved at escaping the tyrant’s grasp, Housekeeper Su came in from outside, politely informing her, "Ms. An Ge, Madam has requested you and Young Master have breakfast with her. Please hurry."

An Ge felt a twinge of despair.

People shouldn’t get too happy, because joy can turn to sorrow.

"Okay, I’ll switch my shoes and be right there."

Housekeeper Su left first, and An Ge rummaged through the shoe cabinet, finding a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes.

As a pregnant woman, comfort was of utmost importance.

After changing her shoes and leaving the East Garden, An Ge saw Uncle Fu and the maids disposing of the supplements and found it hard to bear.

So she ran over in small steps and said to Uncle Fu, "Isn’t it a waste to throw these away? Such good ginseng, such fine bird’s nest... you could sell these for a lot of money. Are you guys out of your mind?"

Uncle Fu replied, "No one dares to defy Young Master’s orders."

An Ge snatched a century-old ginseng from Uncle Fu’s grip, declaring, "You keep breaking yours; I’ll keep mine."

Uncle Fu and the other maids exchanged worried glances, "Well, this..."

Right then, Huo Shaoyan called An Ge’s phone.

Seeing his call made An Ge tremble. After a mental pep talk, she answered the tyrant’s call, "Young Master Huo, what can I do for you?"
