Chapter 123 Entanglement After All

  Tong Mai slightly blinked her eyes, she wasn't hallucinating, nor was she seeing things wrong!

  "What do you want to do again?" Tong Mai did not expect that He Yi Ze did not leave with Old Lady He and the others, but instead turned back, his eyes filled with hostility, staring at He Yi Ze with a fiery gaze.

  Huo Yize slowly approached her, still without saying much. However, the closer he got, the more painful Tong Mai's body seemed to become!

  "Stand there, don't come over! Don't say anything except to apologize and kowtow." Tong Mai stretched out his other uninjured hand in an attempt to ward him off.

  She was already dizzy and saw him appear, her dizziness became even thicker and more oppressive!

  Apologize, kowtow... these things, sorry, he won't do.

  However, at least now his hostility and anger towards Tong Mai are no longer as strong as before. The dark pupils emitted a majestic and sharp light, Tong Mai deliberately avoided his gaze, he must have been the reincarnation of an owl in his previous life, otherwise how could his eyes be so intimidating?

  "Hey, are you done yet? Are you still not satisfied with the severity of my injury, and now your mind is unbalanced?" Tong Mai's tone was extremely unpleasant.

  Even so, Tong Mai still had some fear of Huo Yize in her heart, but if he really wanted to hurt her, it would be nothing more than this. She was already covered in scars, one more wound or one less, it didn't make much difference.

  "I admit it, I misunderstood you."

  It was a good while before Ho Yuet Tze spoke up slowly after gazing at her for quite some time.

  At first glance, it was all his official tone, without any guilt hidden inside, and he never said the three words "I'm sorry" from start to finish.

  "What's the big deal? After the misunderstanding? You misunderstood me and gave me two slaps, can I return them to you? You got me into a car accident, should I send you to hell?"

  She wasn't that angry at first, and it would have been better if he hadn't said anything. The more he spoke, the more Tong Mai became worked up.

  What was his attitude just now? Doesn't a rich second generation know what an apology is?

  "This temper of yours is all because your grandmother spoiled you! Tong Mai's lips were slightly pursed, and she was even gritting her teeth. 'If you don't speak up, I'll take it as your consent. First, I want to return the two slaps you gave me.'"

  As soon as Tong Mai thought of those two slaps, his belly was full of resentment and grievance.

  Slapping someone is how much of a blow to their morale and luck? At the same time, it's also an absolute insult and contempt.

  Tong Mai really couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and even wanted to take advantage of He Yi Ze's unpreparedness to pounce on him and bite this bastard to death...

  Huo Yize let out a faint cold hum, clearly disapproving.

  "Before you slap me, think about the consequences! Listen carefully, I only admit that I misunderstood you, but I don't admit that I caused your car accident!" Huo Yize said clearly and unmistakably.

  He also clearly remembers that when she wasn't called, she herself was running wildly on the road, and it was expected that something would happen to her.

  Of course, at the moment she got into trouble, he was worried... Now that he sees her safe and sound, his heart is finally at peace again!

  "Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter, the fact is that I was hurt because of you! The fact that I'm lying in a hospital bed receiving treatment is undeniable. So, I demand compensation! Unconditionally, you must agree to my request for compensation."

  Tong Mai found out that she and Huo Yize dragging on would have no outcome...

  Rather than pursuing who is at fault, it's better to raise some practical issues.

  She can't stay at the Ho's house anymore...not even for one more minute...

  Huo Yize didn't respond whether he would accept her compensation, but his eyes seemed to show a hint of expectation towards the compensation she proposed.

  He must be thinking of making a fortune from him, right? At this thought, a hint of disdain appeared on Huo Yize's face, a full-fledged disdain...

  "Firstly, I want you to take full responsibility for my medical expenses during my hospital stay. Secondly, after I'm discharged, I won't be returning to the Huo household as a servant. However, you must pay me the 50,000 yuan salary, consider it as compensation from your family."

  She was having an accident during her tenure at the Ho's, of course they are fully responsible for it. And now she is in this state, she can't do anything at the Ho's either, but the salary must be paid!

  Thinking of the suffering she endured in the Huo family, if it were to be measured by money, it would far exceed 500,000 yuan...

  If the collision was more severe, she might have lost her life; or even become disabled with a missing arm or leg. These images, Tong Mai dare not think about, only one thought is being generated in her heart, this job as a maid, she can't do it anymore, if she continues, not only will she not earn money, but also risk losing her life.

  So this time is a good opportunity, no matter what, she wants to cut off all relationships with Huo Yize, the Huo family... everything.

  Huo Yize's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, his usual playful expression flashing across his face as he gazed at Tong Mai with an unscrupulous intensity that made Tong Mai feel uneasy and even sent shivers down his spine.

  Is her compensation of 50,000 yuan excessive? Does he deserve to look at her with this kind of gaze?

  Huo Yize slowly approached her, his scorching breath getting closer and closer, Tong Mai's sense of danger intensified, "Back off..."

  Her words were simply wind in his ears to He Yi Ze, who instead poked at Tong Mai's right hand, which was bandaged up. "I now suspect you of intentionally getting hurt and then using that as an excuse to leave the He family... otherwise, how could your injuries be so coincidental, just a small wound?"

  What a ruthless rebuttal!

  His pale face turned beet red in an instant.

  Deliberately getting hurt... Only a despicable person like Huo Yize would come up with such an idea. Moreover, talking to him is like talking to a wall, he will only distort the facts and it's impossible to see eye-to-eye with him.

  "Yes! Yes! I did it on purpose, so what? Get out!! Get out!! I don't want to see you, miss..."

  How hateful...

  The hatred in her heart was about to overflow from her mouth and nose, drowning her!

  Her anger, his calmness, it was clear that Huo Yize had the upper hand, with a gaze as if he were watching a joke, burning intensely on Tong Mai's body...

  She was like a clown, every word and action could trigger a burst of thunderous laughter!

  "I won't be affected either way, it's just painful... It's your own pain, you want to torment yourself, it's what you asked for! Considering you're injured, I'll let you off for a few days. However, afterwards, you need to make up for this leave. You must work 30 days at the Huo household to get the 50,000 yuan, I hope you understand this fact! Don't think that the longer you stay in the hospital, the less likely you are to return to the Huo household."

  Huo Yize's slender fingers tightly grasped her wrist, his low voice saying, in a completely ordinary tone without any ups and downs, yet enough to reveal his coldness.

  Only when he saw Tong Mai fall to the ground with his own eyes, at that moment, did he truly have a thread of emotion emerge, not completely cold-blooded. It was only when he confirmed that her body was fine that his cold blood returned...

  She was speechless! Not a single word could be uttered from her throat...

  In a rage, she didn't even notice the needle still stuck in her hand, and frantically pounded on He Yi Ze, "Get out...get out..." Apart from telling him to get out, she didn't know what else to say.

  Anyway, no matter what she says to him, they can't get on the same page, he always has a way to tie her down.

  Huo Yize timely grasped her wrist, not letting the needle slip out. Her violent temper made Huo Yize dislike her from the bottom of his heart. His eyes turned serious, "Behave yourself and receive treatment here. Don't think about any crooked ideas in your mind. You can't escape my palm, so according to what we agreed earlier, after you stay at the Huo's for a month, we'll have nothing to do with each other."

  However, now, Huo Yize's expression doesn't seem like they will really have nothing to do with each other in the future.

  In Tong Mai's eyes, it seemed more like a deadlock...

  Right, from the start, she shouldn't have been foolish enough to believe him. What a damn one month, completely unrelated! I'm afraid that after one month, she'll be dead and gone!

  Tong Mai's heart ached all over, and he stared at Huo Yize with vigilance.

  "In order to prevent you from running away, I will sleep in the outer room today."

  In fact, it wasn't to prevent her from running away. After the last fever, he clearly knew about Tong Mai's fear of hospitals. However, he absolutely wouldn't admit that he was worried about her fear and stayed behind, neither in his heart nor with his mouth...

  "Get out! Who wants you sleeping outside? Get out... If I really want to leave, it's useless for you to guard the outside!" What does he take her for? A prisoner?

  The biggest mistake of her life was that she shouldn't have provoked him, a thousand times no, ten thousand times no, provoking such a huge trouble.

  "So, try it out. When I'm around, if I let you escape, Tong Mai... I'll be with you forever." The words were spoken slowly and calmly, but each word was laced with his coldness and threat, especially the sharp edge of his tone, as if giving Tong Mai the most severe warning.

  For a moment, Tong Mai kept patting his chest, comforting himself and making an effort to calm down!

  Don't be angry! Don't be angry! If I die from anger, nobody will replace me...

  She wanted to see just how much patience Huo Yize had and if he would continue to guard her forever.

  "Okay, go to sleep! Sleep well! Wish you have a good dream!"

  Tong Mai's lips curled up with a hint of a smile, trying to make his voice calm.

  She didn't believe his delicate body could withstand the hardship of sleeping on a sofa...

  Sleep, as long as he can hold on!

  Tong Mai's eyes were full of curses and disdain towards He Yi Ze, even if she didn't say a word, He Yi Ze could clearly read the meaning between her eyebrows. "You're the same, have a good dream." His words had a different tone from Tong Mai's earlier ones, with a strong hint of malice...
