What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

Chapter 35

Huo Xiaozheng sprang to his feet with a start.

"What's going on?"

He strode quickly downstairs, his tone urgent.

Aunt Xu had never quite gotten used to Huo Xiaozheng's handsome but excessively cold face.

Now, seeing his furious expression, Aunt Xu felt like crying: "I'm not sure either. The young miss was just eating breakfast, and in the time it took me to warm up some milk for her, I came out to find her slumped over the table."

Fortunately, Huo Ning's dining chair was custom-made, which prevented her from falling off.

Otherwise...

Aunt Xu stole a glance at Huo Xiaozheng's face, not daring to think further.

Huo Ning lay on the living room sofa. Huo Xiaozheng called her name several times, but she showed no signs of waking.

On the coffee table, Ningning's frequently used iPad was still playing cartoons.

Huo Xiaozheng opened the background pages.

That news article appeared in his line of sight.

Huo Xiaozheng's hand, gripping the iPad, showed bulging veins.

"Mr. Huo, shouldn't we take Ningning to the hospital first?" Xi Chuan, seeing the situation, immediately advised.

Huo Xiaozheng grunted in agreement.

"Xi Chuan, go back to the company and calm down those protesting employees. Find out what's really going on and call me if anything comes up."

Xi Chuan looked troubled: "Mr. Huo, at this critical moment, if you're not there..."

Huo Xiaozheng glared at him: "If the company would collapse without me, why am I paying you all so much?"R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at Only

Xi Chuan was left speechless, not daring to argue further.

Huo Xiaozheng drove the car like it was an airplane, arriving at Anzhen Children's Hospital with a screech of tires that left a cloud of dust in its wake.

Medical staff were already waiting at the emergency entrance.

Huo Xiaozheng carried Huo Ning out of the car and handed her over to the medical personnel.

No sooner had they entered the ward than Shen Shiyan followed close behind.

He put on his white coat while asking, "What happened?"

Huo Xiaozheng briefly explained the situation.

Shen Shiyan: "This shouldn't be happening. Emotional fluctuations are normal, but for chest pain to occur again..."

He frowned, unable to figure it out for the moment.

"Let's do it today. Set up an appointment with the doctor. We'll start treatment when Ningning wakes up."

Having pulled the tiger's whiskers, Shen Shiyan composed himself and agreed.

Huo Ning, still unconscious, was oblivious to all this.

At that moment, she found herself in an enormous maze.

She wandered around in circles, unable to find the exit.

Just as she was getting desperate and sweating profusely, she encountered a girl.

A girl who looked exactly like her former self, but appeared to be only 5 or 6 years old.

She wore a white dress with several sunflowers embroidered on the chest, lacking color.

"Who are you?" Huo Ning asked warily.

The girl smiled, revealing a pair of cute little fangs, looking quite mischievous, identical to her childhood self.

"I'm you," she said.

Huo Ning was bewildered: "If you're me, then who am I?"

The girl laughed again: "You're me!"

"What?" Huo Ning was confused by her riddles. "What kind of puzzle are you playing?"

The girl floated to her side like a sprite, leaning in to whisper in her ear: "You regret it, don't you? We both have our missing pieces. Why don't we complement each other?"

Huo Ning was completely baffled: "I don't understand what you're saying..."

The girl stopped looking at her and walked deeper into the maze with her hands behind her back. She was muttering something, but Huo Ning couldn't hear clearly. As the 'beep beep' sound grew clearer, Huo Ning completely emerged from her dream.

Huo Ning opened her eyes and saw the familiar hospital room again.

"So it was just a dream," she murmured, a bit dazed.

In contrast to the chaotic atmosphere surrounding Huo Xiaozheng, on the other side, Huo Siyuan stared at Huo Corporation's stock with a sly smile.

"Huo Xiaozheng, oh Huo Xiaozheng, you're not the only shareholder in Huo Corporation."

His assistant stood to the side, bowing obsequiously: "Your move was brilliant, sir. Taking advantage of Huo Jing's scandal, then dropping the news about Mr. Huo's daughter. Huo Xiaozheng has to put out fires on both fronts while also dealing with the employee protests."

"Even Huo Xiaozheng can't perform miracles."

This string of flattery left Huo Siyuan feeling thoroughly pleased.

"You've taken care of the employee protest situation, right?" he asked.

"The illegal layoff documents were signed by people from headquarters. There's no way it can be traced back to you. You can rest absolutely assured," the assistant said confidently.

Huo Siyuan let out a cold laugh, raising his hand to stroke his smooth bald head: "Huo Xiaozheng, I'm waiting for you to come begging me."
