In Huo Juren’s eyes, she was just a casual object to be played with and discarded.
She was just this pitiful.
Although a wave of unavoidable sadness surged in her heart, Shao Pingxi did not let this emotion show externally.
Huo Juren was a master at concealing emotional fluctuations, and she was no less skilled in this aspect.
“Before coming here, do you know who I met?” Huo Juren spoke, ignoring her words.
“I’m not interested! I want to get out,” If the car door wasn’t locked, she would have rushed out long ago.
“One of your best friends – Nie Simeng.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the cold facade Shao Pingxi had put on immediately cracked.
Her slight change did not escape his notice, and he couldn’t help but raise a cold smile.
“She gave me this,” he pointed to the swelling on his face.
Shao Pingxi had not failed to notice the injury on his face and could easily guess he had been punched, but she didn’t expect it was Nie Simeng’s doing.
“Did you set her up?” She knew very well how good Huo Juren’s skills were.
“That’s right,” he spoke frankly. “Designing someone full of passion but with no brain is as easy as breathing for me.”
“What do you want?” Shao Pingxi cut to the chase, not bothering to argue about his disparaging remarks about Nie Simeng.
She knew Huo Juren too well. After more than a year, his initiative to find her must have a purpose.
And before each step he took, he had already calculated the situation afterward. Those targeted by him had absolutely no way to escape.
“What do I want?” Huo Juren laughed. “If someone hit you for no reason, what would you do?”
“You’re going to sue Simeng?” Shao Pingxi thought of the worst-case scenario.
“I’m considering it,” he said ambiguously. “How severe is the punishment for injury?”
“Stop beating around the bush and speak directly,” conversing with him required enormous energy, and with each sentence, she felt like she was losing more strength.
She thought that after more than a year, she could face this man who had played with her from beginning to end calmly. But she was wrong. In front of Huo Juren, she was still a defenseless infant.
