Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1743
1743 Shangguan Tong’s Departure
Shangguan Yun covered his face. He turned his head slightly to look at Huo Yao’s phone, but he could not see anything.
“Did you really send my picture to Aunt Tong?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Huo Yao turned to walk up in front of the French windows and sat down in a chair holding her phone thoughtfully.
Shangguan Yun hurriedly tapped on his phone selfie camera to check his face and saw the dark eye circles. He promptly wanted to kill himself. “Oh god. Aunt Tong is going to think I’m an ugly kid from now on.”
!!
Huo Yao went quiet.
Could anyone be more shameless than him?
Huo Yao ignored his howling and leaned into the seat backrest casually.
She had genuinely sent a photo using WeChat, but it was not the photo she had just taken of Shangguan Yun.
In less than a minute, she received a reply.
Tong: [Did the plan fail?]
Shangguan Tong wanted to contact Huo Yao desperately in the last couple of days. However, she restrained her feelings out of fear that Huo Yao might sense anything amiss with her. Also, she was afraid that she could not accept the truth.
When Shangguan Tong saw the photo from Huo Yao, her hand trembled holding the phone.
She never imagined that she would see Huo Jinfeng again this way.
15 years had passed. Over the years, his face looked a lot more mature and weatherworn. Looking at him lying there quietly, it was impossible to connect him to the imposing man she once knew. At the same time, the image on her phone slowly overlapped with the man in her memories.
Shangguan Tong raised her head and did her utmost to restrain the tears in her eyes.
Huo Yao sent a text message: [The treatment didn’t fail. My eldest uncle simply doesn’t have any desire to live.]
Tong: [No will to live? What do you mean?]
Wasn’t he always a responsible man?
He came from a powerful family. How could he have no will to live?
Huo Yao paused and replied: [Once a man loses hope and doesn’t have the will to live, even the gods can’t save him.]
Shangguan Tong’s face turned pale. As she thought about Huo Jinfeng’s personality, she felt a twinge in her heart.
Sometimes, she did not dare to even think. Now that things had come to this, it was enough to shake the decision she had stuck to for years.
Shangguan Tong tapped on the photo again and touched her phone screen gently. It seemed as though she could touch the man by touching the phone.
Previously, Yu had asked her if she had any regrets.
She wanted to say yes.
At this moment, she suddenly did not want to have any regrets anymore.
Shangguan Tong inhaled deeply. She stopped texting, put away her phone, and turned to enter the room.
She glanced back and walked up to her dressing table. She reached her hand out and pressed a secret compartment by the side. A small drawer promptly popped out.
A key could be seen sitting inside.
Shangguan Tong paused briefly before she took the key without hesitation.
After leaving the room, she walked to a room on the right side of the corridor right at the end.
The door was locked and the lock was covered in a thick layer of dust. It was clear no one had entered the room in a long time.
Shangguan Tong quickly opened the door using the key in her hand and entered the room.
A few minutes later, she walked out of the room holding a few things in her hands.
After locking the door back up, a voice could be heard coming from behind.
“Are you going out?”
Shangguan Tong raised her head and turned around to look at the man. “I have something important to do, so I have to go out.”
It was none other than Shangguan Wei. He looked at the things in Shangguan Tong’s hands with a knowing expression on his face.
