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...

He Jingyu was taken aback. Thinking about Huo Zhekun's work, he realized that he had stayed in Yanjing for so long and it was time for him to go back.
"That's true, you still have work to do," He Jingyu said. "Where's your wife?"
“I’m staying in Yanjing with Yingjie, I can’t let Tiantian take care of him here alone,” Jiang Lifang said. She could give up everything else, but she couldn’t abandon her son.
He Tiantian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Aunt Jiang, I see that Yingjie only has his blood pressure and pulse checked at the hospital, and there's not much treatment. But when I talk to Yingjie about things from the past, he always seems to react. Since that's the case, why don't we go back to Nanshi together? You can go to work, and if you feel unwell, you can go to your hospital. I can take Yingjie to the places we used to go when we were little, and maybe he'll remember things from the past!"
These are He Tiantian's true feelings. The reason why Huo Yingjie has not yet recovered is due to some supernatural reasons that cannot be resolved by medicine.
Since that's the case, she can only use a clumsy method: to remind Huo Yingjie of her past memories, which might awaken him.
Jiang Lifang thought for a moment, looked at her husband, and asked, "Old Huo, do you think this is okay?"
Huo Zhekun was worried about his son going back alone, so he thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask the doctor. If the doctor says it's okay to move, we'll go back to Nanshi. Yingjie grew up there and is very familiar with the place, which will help with his recovery."
Jiang Lifang was worried about her husband going back home, as he couldn't cook for himself. She would certainly be happy to take her son with her.
Without further ado, Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun went to talk to Doctor Zhang.
"Huo Yingjie's physical condition is completely fine now. The only problem is his memory and intelligence. If we bring up some memorable events from the past and elicit a response from him, then returning to familiar places can indeed help with his memory," said Dr. Zhang. Although he wanted to keep Huo Yingjie here for observation and research, he hoped even more that Huo Yingjie could recover his health.
“Tian Tian takes care of Yingjie every day. She said that when she talks about things from the past, Yingjie remembers them, so we thought of doing this,” Jiang Lifang said. Dr. Zhang’s words gave her hope of going home.
"In that case, I'll issue you a certificate, and you can be discharged." Dr. Zhang nodded. Perhaps this would be beneficial for Huo Yingjie, since he couldn't offer him much help while he was here.
"Thank you very much, Dr. Zhang." Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
After returning to the Huo family's old residence, the couple told Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo about their plans.
"Huh?" Old Madam Huo was taken aback. "You're taking Yingjie back to Nanshi?"
Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "Yes, Mother. Yingjie's condition is not improving in the hospital. Because he has lost his memory, and there is no medicine to treat it, we want to take Yingjie back to Nanshi. That way, we can take him to familiar places and see if he can remember anything."
"But... Yingjie..." Old Madam Huo wanted to persuade him to stay, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.
"Oh!" Old Master Huo patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't be sad! The second son is right, there aren't any good treatment options here. Maybe Yingjie will remember things from the past after he goes back."
Madam Huo wiped away her tears and choked out, "Then let's do it this way. I hope my dear grandson can recover soon."
“Yes, Mother,” Jiang Lifang said. “I’m a doctor too. If he feels unwell, I will treat him promptly. Plus, with Tiantian here, we can take good care of Yingjie.”
Upon hearing He Tiantian's name, Old Madam Huo felt even more heartache and said, "Tiantian is a good girl. No matter what happens to our Yingjie, we cannot wrong Tiantian. What she has done is worthy of the entire Huo family."
Madam Huo did not say it explicitly, but she made her stance clear.
If Huo Yingjie isn't doing well, then he shouldn't drag down a good girl.
Jiang Lifang's nose tingled with tears, and she nodded, saying, "Mother, I understand what you mean. If you can't be my daughter-in-law, then be my goddaughter."
"It's good that you think that way!" said Madam Huo. "The He family and He Tiantian don't owe us anything. On the contrary, we have received their kindness. No matter what, we should never forget kindness."
"Mother, we've all remembered." Huo Zhekun nodded. They wouldn't force others to do things their way.
Huo Zhegan is busy with work all day and only goes to check on things in the evenings; he has no time during the day at all.
I feel guilty now that I hear my second brother's family is leaving.
"Second brother, be careful in Nanshi. Someone has been making moves against our Huo family recently," Huo Zhe said. "Our Huo family has been too high-profile before. We need to be more careful in the future."
Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "Yingjie's matter is just a prelude. Even if that big tiger is gone, there will be another one. I'm fine in Nanshi, but you and Father are in Yanjing, so you must be careful."
After listening to his two sons, Old Master Huo said, "Yingjie's matter cannot be left like this. I must avenge Yingjie."
“Father, the situation is still unclear. Although Yingjie’s situation is dire, if we lose our composure, we might fall into someone else’s trap, which would put the Huo family in a very passive position,” Huo Zhekun said. He was worried about his son’s safety, but he was even more worried about the Huo family.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken!
As long as the Huo family remains in power, they can enjoy privileges and live peacefully; if the Huo family falls, they will be like stray dogs, their families torn apart.
"Yes, the second son is right. We need to plan this carefully. I got too excited just now," said Old Master Huo. "However, I will not let those who framed our Huo family get away with it."
Huo Yingjun was always depressed because of his second brother, Huo Yingjie.
He felt uneasy without his second brother's guidance.
Fortunately, he still has his grandfather, father, and second uncle above him, so he doesn't need to be on his own for the time being, and he still has time to study.
I really hope my second brother can get better, so that the burden on his shoulders can be lightened a bit.
The four of them, grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, chatted in the study until late at night before returning to their room to rest.
Because of Huo Yingjie's special status, the procedures were quite complicated, and it took two days to complete the matter.
He Tiantian went back with Huo Yingjie. They stayed at the Huo family home for one night and had a family reunion dinner.
As long as Huo Yingjie doesn't open his mouth, he's a normal person. But as soon as he opens his mouth, you can tell something's wrong.
He Tiantian once said that Huo Yingjie was like a normal person at night, but when other people were around, Huo Yingjie was like a silent gourd, not saying a word, just sitting there.
This once infuriated He Tiantian so much that she wanted to beat him up.
