I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 32

Su Wan turned around stiffly.

Within the soft glow of the door, a man in a gentleman’s suit was walking towards them. His gait was arrogant and his expression was cold, as if he was the last aristocrat of the last century.

Huo Qing stood between the two of them, glancing at the confused Ah Biao.

“You can go.”

As if he had received an amnesty, Ah Biao hurriedly left to busy himself with other matters.

Su Wan wanted to stop him, but under Huo Qing’s murderous gaze, she shut her mouth.

Huo Qing stared at her with a sharp gaze.

“Now, tell me, what do you want with the key to the archives?”

Su Wan could not stand his gaze. She lowered her head and stared at an unknown place.

“Nothing.”

“You want to find out about me, the Huo family?”

Unlike normal times, Huo Qing did not let her go just because she submitted. Instead, he became more and more powerful.

“I …”

Su Wan could not refute this. In front of him, she could never lie.

Huo Qing’s expression became uglier and uglier as he raised his hand and fiercely pinched her lower jaw.

“You dare to doubt me!?”

His voice was soft, but it hurt her eardrums.

Su Wan looked at the man in front of her with sorrow. She wanted to shake her head, but no matter what, she couldn’t do it.

Yes, she did.

She couldn’t even deceive herself, much less him.

Huo Qing understood her personality too well after being together for so many years.

Silence is acquiescence.

All the anger he had accumulated earlier was aroused at this moment.

Huo Qing exerted force and fiercely threw her to the ground!

“You dare to f * * king doubt me!”

For more than a decade, she had been following him like a small follower, and she had never thought that one day she would suspect him.

Su Wan was slammed into the ground. Her expression was both pitiful and sad, like she was a statue.

She could not speak a word of rebuttal.

However, the more silent she was, the more unbearable Huo Qing became.

That feeling was like a dragon, coiled at the end of his heart. If he did not vent it, his entire body would be incinerated.

All of a sudden, the injuries on Li Mengqing and Bai Shan’s escape had all become her fault.

Huo Qing clenched his hands by his side and curled the corner of his mouth in a slightly mocking manner.

“Since you don’t believe me like this, then why should I believe you? From today onwards, you are not allowed to interfere in any big or small matters of the sect. ”

“Of course, with you as the lead, the peace agreement to let the Bai Clan off – also, work, work, work.”

Huo Qing approached her with the last few words and stared at her pupils, pausing after each word.

With every syllable uttered, the pain in the woman’s eyes increased.

He was delighted.

What did she know about pain?

Su Wan resisted him for the first time.

She shook his hand away in disbelief.

“Why? The contract had clearly been signed! You signed it yourself! ”

The tyrannical factors in Huo Qing’s heart expanded without end.

The man sneered.

“Contract? I thought you’d understand. ”

“In front of absolute strength, a so-called contract is just a piece of scrap paper.”

Indeed, the Bai Clan had just changed bosses and held a funeral, so it could be said that they were waiting for the right moment. It wouldn’t take much for the Huo Clan to take advantage of the situation to sneak in.

The color of Su Wan’s face slowly faded and turned pale.

He was right.

The law of the jungle was what the old man had taught her the first day she entered the Huo family.

But she never thought that one day, Huo Qing would use this law on her.

Su Wan felt her energy being drained bit by bit.

The man’s handsome face wavered before her eyes.

Finally, she heard her own voice.

“What is it that you are willing to let go of him?”

“If I give my eyes to Li Mengqing and let her see the light again, would you be able to show me kindness?”

Her tone was strange and stiff, not at all like she was begging him.

For the sake of another man, she was willing to donate her eyes?

Huo Qing was so angry that he laughed instead.

“Just to donate the eyes? “No.”

“A life for a life. You want me to let him go — unless you die.”

The man did not even glance at her before he strode out of the hall.
