He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...
1087
I arrived home quickly, and someone was already waiting outside the door.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie got down, opened a wheelchair, and put Huo Yingqi in it, which was good for her legs.
Huo Yingqi was excited, but also very scared.
Song Chunli whispered, "Don't be afraid, we're all family."
At this time, Huo Zhegan finished get off work and parked his car not far away.
Seeing his daughter enter, he quickly walked a few steps and followed her in.
When Hoho Zhegan saw his daughter looking so thin and confined to a wheelchair, he felt a pang of sadness. After all, she was his child.
"Yingqi," Huo Zhe said bitterly, "Are you... alright?"
Huo Yingqi was startled when she heard her father's voice from behind. She turned around, struggled to get up, and kowtowed to her father to apologize.
"Dad..." Huo Yingqi was excited and could hardly control her emotions.
Song Chunli quickly helped Huo Yingqi to sit up straight, saying, "Yingqi, sit properly. Your body can't take any more stress!"
Huo Zhegan also said, "Alright, it's good that you're back. We can talk about this later. Let's go inside quickly. Ever since they heard the bad news about you, your grandparents have been very worried and are already waiting for you inside. Let's go over there."
"Yes, it's all Yingqi's fault for being unfilial," Huo Yingqi said, feeling guilty.
“Yingqi, don’t blame your grandparents,” Huo Zhegan said. “The situation at the time was really…”
Huo Yingqi choked up and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Dad, I've come to my senses. I've never hated you; I only hate myself for being so stupid. Now I've made my life so miserable and caused you so much worry. I'm so unfilial."
If the car accident hadn't happened, perhaps the Xu family wouldn't have ended up like this.
Ah, it's all fate.
"That's good. Now that you're back, we'll have your back, and no one will dare to bully you," Huo Zhegan said. "You must take good care of yourself."
“Yes, Dad, I’ve got it.” Huo Yingqi said, “By the way, Xiao Jian, this is Grandpa. Dad, this is my son, Xiao Jian.”
"Hello, Grandpa." Xu Jian was a little scared and cautious, worried that his grandpa didn't like him.
Huo Zhegan felt bitter inside, but he couldn't show his disappointment in front of the child. Instead, he patted the child's head and said, "Good boy, Grandpa will take good care of you and your mother from now on."
Just then, Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo walked out, trembling.
Huo Yingqi could no longer hold back. She got off the wheelchair, knelt on the ground, and said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, I was wrong."
Her grandfather kicked her out back then, and now Huo Yingjie is too ashamed to call herself his granddaughter.
Old Madam Huo's eyes were already red. She stepped forward and patted Huo Yingqi's head, saying, "You've suffered. Get up quickly, don't kneel. Your legs are still not well."
"Get some rest." Although Old Master Huo didn't say much, his attitude was clear.
No one can bring Huo Yingqi back without Old Master Huo's consent.
Huo Yingjie could only carry Huo Yingqi inside, and He Tiantian pushed the wheelchair. Once inside, Huo Yingqi was allowed to sit on it.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Yingqi is back now. She's quite emotional today. Let her eat something and rest later," He Tiantian said. "Anyway, there's plenty of time to talk later."
"Yes, we owe it all to Tian Tian this time," Song Chunli said. If Xiao Jian hadn't seen Tian Tian go to Guangshi on TV, he probably wouldn't have been able to find anyone to help him.
He Tiantian looked at Xiao Jian and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is Yingqi's child. He waited for me at the stadium for two days, which shows that he is a smart and filial child. Let's raise him well so that he can be a good son to Yingqi in the future."
"Yes, yes, Father, Mother, Xiao Jian is a very good boy," Song Chunli praised. "Xiao Jian, this is Great-Grandpa, and this is Great-Grandma!"
Xu Jian stepped forward to greet them, his voice low but polite.
"Good child." Old Master Huo nodded. "You should all show more care and concern for him in the future..."
“Of course,” Song Chunli said. “Xiao Jian is very obedient.”
After that, Huo Yingqi was able to eat by herself. She drank two bowls of porridge and then went to rest.
Huo Yingqi was initially reluctant to go back, wanting to talk more with her family, but He Tiantian persuaded her to go back, saying, "Yingqi, we'll have plenty of time later, why now? You're weak, and if you can't recover properly, won't your aunt, uncle, grandfather, and grandmother be worried?"
Huo Yingqi thought about it and agreed, nodding, "I'll listen to my second sister-in-law."
"That's good." He Tiantian said, helping Huo Yingqi to the washroom, and then taking her to her room to rest.
Xu Jian ate his meal and then took a nap.
Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo listened to Song Chunli explain the whole process.
I'm really angry and sad.
Fortunately, we managed to bring the adults and children back, and we'll make it up to them later.
"By the way, the Xu family can't be let off easily," said Old Madam Huo. "Has everything been arranged?"
Song Chunli nodded and said, "It's all arranged. After we leave, Xu Kaiming will lose his job. After Yingqi divorces Xu Kaiming and gets the family property, we'll deal with Xu Kaiming. He's been accused of abusing women and trafficking children. He'll be locked up for ten years."
"That's good." Old Madam Huo nodded. Such a scoundrel shouldn't be treated with leniency.
The old man and the old woman were a little tired, so they rested here for a while. After having dinner together in the evening and talking with Huo Yingqi, they went back to the Huo family's old house.
Huo Yingqi had a couple hired by Song Chunli. The woman was responsible for taking care of Huo Yingqi and doing housework, while the man, a former chef, was responsible for cooking. Everything was arranged perfectly.
Song Chunli was also worried that her daughter and grandson wouldn't be used to it, so they stayed as well.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie can finally go home.
It's already the height of summer.
Grandma Wang was with three children, and the Snake King was eating watermelon with them!
After Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian returned, the three children stopped eating watermelon and ran over to surround their parents.
The family matters were not discussed with the children, so they were unaware of them.
He Tiantian could only talk about some things related to the competition to satisfy their curiosity.
After the children ate the watermelon and spent enough time cuddling with their parents, they went inside to watch TV.
Grandma Wang also went back to rest.
The Snake King whispered, "Was this trip relatively smooth?"
"It's alright," He Tiantian said. "How about you?"
"I'm not bad either. I do some fashion shows now and then, and I attend classes when I have free time," the Snake King said. "I'm pretty good; my teachers and classmates all like me."
"Hehe, are you a female teacher or female student?" He Tiantian asked with a smile. "You're so beautiful, you're absolutely stunning!"
"That's right!" the Snake King said proudly. "I'm very famous now, want an autograph?"
