Chapter 1014: Chapter 1038: There’s Always a Chance

But such calm made her feel uneasy; furthermore, the news that was spreading made her even more restless, and she couldn’t help but find him and confront him.

"That’s right, we’re planning to abandon you. Originally, Xia Yi had already gone in; all you had to do was endure for a bit. Then get Huo Yi locked up, make some noise, and wouldn’t you have a seat in the Huo Family? But what have you done?"

The initial plan was to first have Xia Yi recognize his ancestry and return to the clan, then get Huo Yi imprisoned. And finally, when Huo Yi’s mother was at her wits’ end, they’d oust her.

With Huo Yi’s father around, Jun Mochan couldn’t take over these matters. And since Huo Yi’s father trusted and valued Xia Qing so much, just a few more words from Xia Yi in his presence, and she would have successfully embedded herself into the Huo Family.

Even if she didn’t become the official wife for the moment, she had at least gotten inside, hadn’t she? Wasn’t that an opportunity?

Instead, she, quite adeptly, turned a solid game into a losing one.

"How could I have known she would actually agree to a divorce?" Xia Qing said bitterly.

Didn’t Huo Yi’s mother adore Huo Yi’s father? For his sake, she had swallowed her pride and accepted Xia Yi. But she never expected that over such a trivial matter, she would go ahead and get a divorce.

This threw all of her plans into disarray. Although they followed through with the plan later, she hadn’t expected them to actually give up what was readily available.

To think they’d rather keep Huo Yi inside for a few more days than compromise.

What a bunch of eccentrics the Huo Family are.

"I don’t want to hear your excuses." Failure is failure.

"You’re blaming me? Huo Yi has been in there for so long, why didn’t you think of a way to get rid of him permanently?" A permanent solution would be best, she didn’t believe he didn’t understand that.

"Are you stupid?" He’d indeed wanted to take care of Huo Yi inside, but there was an impressive prison guard there. Each time they made a move, it was foiled.

He tried to have the guard taken care of, but to no avail. Attempts to transfer the guard were quickly noticed by Jun Mochan’s people.

Getting discovered wasn’t the issue; the real problem was, if anything actually happened to Huo Yi, it would undoubtedly be blamed on the Song Family.

So he could only stall for time, as both families had chosen to push back the sentencing date.

This kind of struggle couldn’t be brought out into the open, especially with the Jun Family still around. If the foreign media found out, thinking there was instability, it would just stir up unnecessary trouble.

Xia Qing’s face turned ashen: "So you’re saying there’s really no chance left, right?"

Such a good opportunity, just like that she missed it, didn’t she?

"What’s the rush? Just wait patiently; opportunities will come." She just needed to stay by Huo Yi’s father’s side, there would always be opportunities.

"What other opportunities could there be?" Xia Qing remained skeptical.

"No matter what, Huo Bocheng is still Huo Yi’s father, that fact can never be severed. And when you said you wanted Xia Yi to recognize his lineage, he didn’t object. This shows he shares your line of thought. Just align on this point, and, given the opportunity, success is possible." Song Er said, luring her slowly.

A dying ember in Xia Qing reignited, her eyes sparkling anew: "Are you serious?"

Song Er had no intention of coddling her and scoffed: "Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

After discussing some other insignificant things, Xia Qing left.

Ye Ranran turned off the live stream, unwilling to look at Huo Yi’s father’s face, dark with suppressed rage.

"Actually, don’t you guys think that Xia Yi, the illegitimate child, is just an eyesore?" Ye Ranran propped her chin with her hand.

"Who doesn’t find him an eyesore, but what can be done about it?" Upon mentioning this, Huo Yi’s mother felt suffocated with frustration.

Others at least know to wipe their mouth clean after a secret affair, but her own house simply sowed a seed out in the open. Whose heart wouldn’t hurt from such a thing?
