Xu Jian was very happy. He had been worried that his maternal grandmother and aunt had taken his mother away and abandoned him.

His grandmother used to call him a debt collector and a jinx, which made Xu Jian very sad. He was worried that his relatives would also look down on him.

"Yes, yes, I don't want to leave with Mom," Xu Jian said. "I will take good care of Mom. Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle are good to me, and I will be good to you all in the future."

"Good boy," He Tiantian praised. Huo Yingqi had suffered and learned a lesson, but she had also gained something: a good son.

Xu Jian was very happy, no longer worried about being sold by his grandmother and father.

At the same time, Xu Jian cautiously asked, "Auntie, can I learn to swim with you?"

He Tiantian was taken aback, looking at Xu Jian's body proportions. Considering that Huo Yingqi and her scumbag father Xu Kaifa were both very tall, she figured Xu Jian wouldn't be short either. If he had the talent, he could practice swimming.

"Do you like swimming?" He Tiantian asked. She's just a kid now, so it's best to focus on what she likes. As for future competitions and a professional career, it's too early to talk about that now.

"I love it, I love it," Xu Jian said. "I especially love swimming. Last semester, I even won first place in our school's swimming competition. My mom said that I'll be as good as my aunt in the future."

"Hehe!" He Tiantian laughed, "Xiao Jian will be even better in the future. When we get to Yanjing, your aunt will find you a coach. If you like, we can learn to swim."

"Thank you, Auntie. I will try my best." Xu Jian nodded, hoping to become a champion someday and make his mother proud.

As Huo Yingjie listened to his wife's conversation with Xu Jian, he thought of his three children at home.

It's true that children from poor families mature early; Xu Jian is already thinking about his future at such a young age.

"Aunt, I guess you've finished talking to Yingqi. Let's go back," Huo Yingjie said, feeling a bit hot from walking around outside.

“Okay, let’s go back then,” He Tiantian said. Now that her aunt has found her daughter, the next step is to figure out how to get Huo Yingqi to divorce her and teach the Xu family a lesson.

Back at the hospital, Song Chunli was lost in thought.

"Aunt, how is Yingqi doing?" Huo Yingjie asked calmly.

Song Chunli smiled wryly and said, "I ate some porridge and went to sleep. Yingjie, how long will it take us to leave here?"

Huo Yingjie thought for a moment and said, "The doctor will need to stay in the hospital for at least a week before Yingqi can be transferred. Let's take advantage of this time to deal with Yingqi's issues."

“Hmm.” Song Chunli nodded. “Yingjie, let me tell you, Yingqi and Xu Kaifa must get a divorce. Xiaojian is Yingqi’s child and a good child. Our family needs to keep the child and make the Xu family pay the price.”

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt, I will do as you ask. Please take care of Yingqi these next few days and get some rest at night."

"Thank you so much, Yingjie," Song Chunli said. "Your older brother isn't home, so I have to trouble you with everything."

"Auntie, you're too kind. This is what I should do," Huo Yingjie said. If it were him, his elder brother would have done it without hesitation.

Song Chunli felt somewhat gratified upon hearing Huo Yingjie's words.

This nephew is usually a bit cold, but when it comes to crucial moments, he always manages to do many heartwarming things.

Afterwards, Song Chunli and her bodyguard watched over Huo Yingqi.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie went back to the hotel to rest and would replace Song Chunli in the evening.

These past few days have been a bit chaotic for He Tiantian. After returning to the hotel, she took a shower and went to bed.

Huo Yingjie didn't bother her and stayed with her to rest.

After dinner, I went to the hospital to replace Song Chunli.

Song Chunli took Xu Jian and the bodyguard back to the hotel.

Huo Yingqi hasn't woken up yet; we'll feed her some more porridge when she does.

Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian sat on the sofa.

Every hour, He Tiantian would use a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten Huo Yingqi's lips to prevent them from cracking due to dehydration.

Around 8 p.m., Huo Yingqi woke up, ate something, and then went back to sleep.

"What did the doctor say?" He Tiantian asked Huo Yingqi, who was sitting next to her, half asleep and half awake.

"It's good for her to sleep more now," Huo Yingjie said. "Perhaps in a couple of days, Yingqi will be awake more often."

"Yes, I hope so," He Tiantian said, hoping to finish things here as soon as possible so they could return to Yanjing sooner.

She wants three children.

"Missing home?" Huo Yingjie asked, gently patting He Tiantian's back.

"Yes," He Tiantian asked, "When can we go back?"

"We'll go back once Yingqi is fit to move around," Huo Yingjie said. Right now, Huo Yingqi's body is not fit to move around and she needs to rest.

He Tiantian asked with some doubt, "Then what about the divorce?"

"Do you think we need to get involved in these matters?" Huo Yingjie retorted. Such matters were not worth the Huo family's involvement; a satisfactory answer could be obtained simply by explaining the situation to their subordinates.

"I see." He Tiantian smiled. "The Xu family is indeed not worth us going to great lengths for!"

"Yes," Huo Yingjie said. "I hope that once Yingqi arrives in Yanjing, she can recover soon with excellent medical treatment."

"By the way, Yanjing has announced that Yingqi has... Now that she's going back, in what capacity?" He Tiantian asked. Back then, Old Master Huo and Madam Huo were furious and directly announced to the public that Huo Yingqi had passed away.

The dead cannot be brought back to life!

"Uh... let's leave this problem to Aunt, Grandpa, and Grandma. We just need to take good care of Yingqi," Huo Yingjie said, not wanting to get too involved. After all, Huo Yingqi has her biological parents, brother and sister-in-law, and grandparents. They will take good care of how to arrange things for Huo Yingqi.

Blood is thicker than water. No matter what Huo Yingqi had done before, her family members were very saddened after hearing about her suffering, and even forgave her without holding a grudge.

Although He Tiantian had no relationship with Huo Yingqi and even had some past grievances, she felt very sympathetic towards Huo Yingqi because of Huo Yingjie and the Huo family.

"Alright then," He Tiantian said. As for what would happen next, the people at the Huo family's old residence would handle it, so she wouldn't worry about it.

Because of the change in environment, Xu Jian was no longer beaten or scolded by his grandmother and father. Instead, he received delicious food, nice clothes, and many relatives. As a result, he became more cheerful than before, and he smiled more often.

Although he was only eight years old, he knew that his grandmother wanted to sell him like vegetables to help his father get married and build a big house. She thought that if she could sell him once, she could sell him a second time. So he didn't want to be with his grandmother and father. He wanted to be with his mother, maternal grandmother, aunt, and uncle.
