Chapter 325: Mom
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo You had been immersed in her own thoughts. The hairstylist didn’t dare to disturb this guest and kept quiet as she helped her fix her hair. The dressing room was silent.
The soft sound of the door being pushed open rang out did not make Huo You, who was deep in thought, come back to her senses. However, the hairstylist noticed Ding Rong, who had suddenly entered the room.
The romantic love story behind this banquet had been discussed countless times by this group of makeup artists and hairstylists. Therefore, this hairstylist naturally knew Ding Rong. She was the legendary Mrs. Hill.
This was the love of the Hill Family’s leader and one of the hosts of this banquet. Even though top makeup artists and hairstylists like them had served many famous people in society, how could those people compare to someone like Mrs. Hill?
Hence, the moment she saw this madam appear, the hairstylist immediately revealed a nervous and agitated expression. She subconsciously wanted to greet this madam, but Ding Rong seemed to understand what she wanted to do and gently waved her hand before she could speak.
The hairstylist was very good at reading people’s expressions. She immediately shut her mouth and bowed respectfully to the other party. Then, she carefully put away her tools and left the dressing room. She even thoughtfully helped to close the door after her.
Huo You hadn’t noticed Ding Rong’s arrival at first. It was only after a long time had passed and she no longer felt her hair being touched by the hairstylist that she suddenly came back to her senses and asked subconsciously, “Is my hair done?”
As she spoke, she looked up into the mirror and was stunned.
The hairstylist’s reflection was no longer in the mirror. Standing not far behind her was the figure of the person who kept appearing in her mind…
At that moment, Huo You thought that she was still immersed in her messy thoughts. She subconsciously muttered, “Mom…”
Although Huo You’s voice wasn’t loud, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Ding Rong clearly how Huo You addressed her. She had wanted to say something, but she was stunned by this and looked at Huo You with a complicated expression…
After Huo You spoke that word, she instantly realized that this word no longer belonged to her. She saw the complicated expression on Ding Rong’s face in the reflection of the mirror. There was conflict, awkwardness, but she was not touched at all.
Huo You immediately understood that the word “mon” that she had blurted out could not awaken Ding Rong’s remaining motherly feelings toward her. It would only make Ding Rong feel troubled.
At this moment, Huo You’s heart was filled with sadness. She hadn’t made up her mind to use this relationship to seek benefits for herself. On one hand, she didn’t want to destroy the beautiful image she had in Ding Rong’s heart. On the other hand, she didn’t want to hurt Ding Rong’s feelings…
At least before this moment, Huo You thought that Ding Rong still had feelings for her.
However, she did not expect that the address she had accidentally called out would let Huo You see Ding Rong’s current attitude towards her.
Now, Ding Rong no longer treated her as her daughter. Huo You’s heart was filled with bitterness. Then, she thought to herself, (It’s alright. This way, I can execute Huo Feng’s plan without any psychological burden, letting that warm memory be my bargaining chip to seek the future I want.)
In just a few breaths’ time, Huo You had figured out what was the best thing to do.
She lowered her eyelids slightly and sorted out her emotions. When she looked up again, the fragility that had flashed past her eyes earlier was no longer there.
She stood up from the chair and turned to look at Ding Rong, who was a few steps away.
Huo You looked helpless and her hands were even clasped awkwardly together. She carefully explained, “I’m sorry, I said something wrong just now, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I just, I just remembered the past…”
Huo You seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She turned her head to avoid Ding Rong’s gaze, her entire body shrouded in a fragile and stubborn disposition…
Ding Rong looked at Huo You and didn’t speak for a long time.
The truth was, she knew very well that Huo You wasn’t a fragile person. That hint of fragility on her might just be another perfect disguise.
However, looking at the girl she had raised, Ding Rong could not get herself to hate her. She only felt pity…
