Chapter 326: The Earth is Falling on Me by Your Side
Chapter 326
Rong Dai leaned against the bed, looking at him with dark eyes.
Thinking of TK's words, her heart turned cold.
They had originally wanted to downplay this matter so both sides' reputations would not be ruined.
But what was TK's explanation now?
It was clearly saying they were untrustworthy and petty people who bullied others with power.
It was just short of saying Huo's Enterprise was arbitrary and tyrannical!
And then they turned around and partnered with Brocade Embroidery Workshop!
What about the previous competition then?
Were they just toying with everyone? Using them as green leaves to complement Brocade Embroidery?
Thinking her work was classified under Brocade Embroidery, she had full reason to suspect any conspiracy!
There were so many works of similar style, yet no one else's was misplaced.
Only hers was, and it was grouped with Brocade Embroidery's.
Added with TK's explanation, she had ample reason to suspect they conspired with Brocade Embroidery!
After all, if she had not submitted the accessory back then, when the incident happened,
she could only choose to let it go.
And TK would compensate her, without losing Huo's Enterprise as a "gold daddy."
They could still collaborate with the domestic industry giant Brocade Embroidery, getting the best of both worlds.
She already had plans in mind, but did not say it outright, only looking at Huo Shao Ting seriously and solemnly.
"Shao Ting, only you know of my background here."
"The lessons from my past life were too cruel."
"So although I don't want to invite troubles or make too many enemies,"
"if anyone touches my bottom line, I won't give them a chance to recover."
She said very seriously.
If the roots remain, new shoots will grow in the spring breeze.
What happened with Yang Wan Wan was the best example.
If she had been ruthless enough from the start, so many things would not have happened later.
She also would not have almost drowned and injured herself.
Then her child would not have developed poorly and she would not have lost it.
Every cause has its effect.
Every decision made will impact unknown future events.
Such mistakes, she had painfully experienced them in her past life, and lost her child again this time.
The lessons were profound enough.
She would rather be a difficult, unapproachable villain,
than a good person everyone thought they could take advantage of at will.
Her kindness was only for those close who cared for her.
Being too compromising would only make those close to her suffer with her.
"I understand, you don't need to explain so much."
"I love you, so I will understand everything about you."
Huo Shao Ting felt pained for her. He understood her worries well.
She was worried he would misunderstand and think her a vicious woman.
"I've said that with me by your side, even if I can't accomplish what your husband currently can't, in the future I will stake my life to make it happen."
"Within my capabilities, and within what is allowed by law, you just do whatever you want."
"With me here, even if the sky falls or the earth splits, I will be by your side to shield you."
He pulled her into his embrace, speaking pained yet firm words of assurance.
As he spoke, he kissed her cheek.
"As long as you're happy and feel comfortable and safe, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing his sincere words, Rong Dai felt warmth and guilt.
She had not protected their little angel well this time, but next time, she would guard it properly.
