Huo Feng walked into Mrs. Huo's room and sat down on the sofa beside the dressing table. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Huo, who was deliberately ignoring him.
Huo Feng felt a little amused, and he could not help but reveal a smile in his voice. "Mom, are you angry at me? Are you throwing a tantrum by deliberately not looking at me now?"
No matter how old a woman was, they probably hoped to be pampered and coaxed, especially a middle-aged woman like Mrs. Huo. Her husband was unwilling to waste any of his patience on her, so she wanted to get more emotional feedback from his son.
In Mrs. Huo's heart, she had always liked to be very close to her son, Huo Feng. Due to this psychological reason that probably even she herself didn't realize, Mrs. Huo's words subconsciously had a hint of complaints in a spoiled tone. "So you still remember your mother? I thought you were going to act like a filial child in front of your father's bed the entire night!"
These words were a little harsh, but Huo Feng didn't care at all. He chuckled and said, "Mom, you're really angry at me..."
Huo Feng's tone and expression were as if he was facing an unreasonable little girl. Mrs. Huo's attitude had softened because of his doting tone. She glared at him with a gaze that wasn't too strict and complained, "Why, can't I be angry at you? Earlier, I was kicked in the stomach by that b*tch Huo You and fell to the ground for a long time, unable to get up. However, you only cared about fawning over your father. Do you think that he's the only one who can give you benefits and that I also need to rely on him to live? Is that why you went to please the most valuable person?"
If it were any other time, Mrs. Huo would never have said such hurtful words in front of Huo Feng. However, she had suffered too much trauma today and there was too much anger in her heart. She could not rationally control her words and actions, so the hurtful words came out of her mouth easily.
After blurting it out, Mrs. Huo also felt a little regretful. However, as a mother, how could she apologize to her son? Moreover, Mrs. Huo was also used to Huo Feng's silent and tolerant personality. Anyway, her son liked her very much and had never been angry at her. Therefore, there was even less of a need for her to take the matter of saying the wrong things to heart.
Hence, Mrs. Huo only glanced at Huo Feng uneasily, but she was surprised to find that there was no embarrassment or anger on Huo Feng's face.
Huo Feng rested one arm on the armrest of the sofa and propped his face with his hand, looking sluggishly at Mrs. Huo, who was in front of the dressing table. He looked like he hadn't heard the difficulties and criticisms in Mrs. Huo's words. However, his subsequent reaction clearly let Mrs. Huo know that Huo Feng was not too slow and it wasn't that he hadn't heard the mockery and sarcasm in her words. It was only because his heart was tough and impervious to fire and water that no matter how sharp her words were, they could not hurt him at all.
Huo Feng raised his eyelids lazily and said in a relaxed tone, "You're right, Mom. That's what I think. Compared to you, my father is more worth being fawned over. So when the two of you are injured at the same time, is there anything wrong with me caring for my father, who can bring me more benefits?"
"How, how could you..." These words stunned Mrs. Huo. She widened her eyes in a daze and looked at Huo Feng, who had a natural expression and didn't have any guilt. Her shocked gaze was as if she was looking at a person she never knew, or as if she suddenly realized that her son had become a terrifying monster in an instant.
However, Huo Feng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words. Moreover, he seemed to think that Mrs. Huo's reaction was very interesting. He stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth in front of her a few times
before raising his voice in confusion. "Mom, why are you in a daze again?" Mrs. Huo came back to her senses and suddenly retreated, almost falling off the chair. She quickly stood up and took two steps back in a panic, looking at the handsome Huo Feng with a horrified smile. "How could y you say such things? Have you gone crazy?"
Huo Feng shrugged innocently. "Mom, is there a problem with what I said? Why do you have such a big reaction?"
Mrs. Huo took a deep breath and her expression changed several times before turning gloomy. From the start to the end, she didn't want to believe that her child had such a cold and heartless nature.. Hence, she subconsciously blamed it on others...
