After Ye Zhaoyu left.

Old Master Huo sent everyone away, leaving only Huo Jian'an behind.

"Grandpa, what's this about the marriage agreement you mentioned?" Huo Jian'an asked, full of questions.

He always believed that he and Ye Zhaoyu got married because five years ago Ye Zhaoyu drugged him and they accidentally slept together, which led to their decision to get married.

"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you everything clearly!" Old Master Huo looked at Huo Jian'an with a look of disdain.

The wife he had worked so hard to find for him was now being rejected by him, and he had even taken a liking to someone who was inferior to Ye Zhaoyu in every way.

He's done with it. His children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, he doesn't care anymore.

“Okay, Grandpa, go ahead, I’m listening.” Huo Jian’an asked, still shamelessly, despite his grandfather’s disdainful look.

Although Grandpa Huo expressed his displeasure, he still explained the whole story.

The marriage between the Huo and Ye families was arranged by the Ye family patriarch to repay the debt of gratitude owed to the Huo family patriarch.

However, Ye Zhaoyu's mother, Ye Lingge, had a crush on someone since childhood, and since the life-saving grace on the battlefield did not count as a life-saving grace, she canceled the engagement.

After listening to Ye Lingge's words, and seeing that his sons really didn't like him and Ye Lingge really didn't like his child, Old Master Huo agreed.

Five years ago, Huo Jianan was injured in an accident during a mission. Apart from Ye Lingge, no other doctor could save him. Huo Jianan would also have to retire from the military due to his injury, and might even never be able to stand up again.

Among the grandchildren of the Huo family, Huo Jian'an is considered the most outstanding. If he retires from the military, the Huo family may have no successor, and all their connections will disappear with the passing of the old man Huo.

To save Huo Jian'an, Old Master Huo swallowed his pride and begged Ye Lingge to rescue him.

Before Ye Lingge brought Ye Zhaoyu here, she proposed that she would save Huo Jian'an on the condition that Huo Jian'an marry Ye Zhaoyu and they would be married for 5 years. If they had no feelings for each other after 5 years, they would be allowed to divorce.

Old Master Huo agreed without even thinking about it.

Five days after Ye Lingge saved Huo Jian'an, he suddenly fell ill and died.

Seeing that Ye Lingge was dead and only Ye Zhaoyu was left alone, and that she was also a doctor with exceptional medical skills, Old Master Huo did not reveal the five-year agreement.

Once Huo Jianan recovered, he was allowed to marry Ye Zhaoyu, but he was asked to treat her well.

When Huo Jianan woke up, his grandfather told him that he had to marry a stranger.

She's still a woman who wants to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

Ye Zhaoyu must be madly in love with his family background to force her mother to make this condition.

After all, Ye Zhaoyu was an illegitimate child of unknown father, and such a person was not worthy of him.

Huo Jianan's various hunger strikes and refusal to break off the engagement were all in vain. Lin Zhaoyu refused to cancel the engagement no matter what, and the two remained deadlocked.

Lin Miaoyin, who lives in the family compound, has liked Huo Jian'an since she was a child. When she suddenly heard that Huo Jian'an was going to marry Ye Zhaoyu, she couldn't think straight and secretly drugged him.

Old Master Huo witnessed the entire process of Lin Miaoyin drugging him.

Huo Jian'an was under the influence of the drug, the one that increased his arousal. Thinking that Huo Jian'an was about to marry Ye Zhaoyu, he sent him to Ye Zhaoyu's room.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhaoyu was skilled in both medicine and martial arts. Not only did she not let Huo Jian'an gain the upper hand, but she also subdued him.

However, the two were alone in a room, and Huo Jianan was naked. When everyone saw them, Huo Jianan wanted to resist, but he was charged with hooliganism and had to be discharged from the army. He could only obediently go and get the marriage certificate.

"So what if it wasn't Ye Zhaoyu who drugged her? Ye Lingge is a doctor, and a doctor's duty is to save lives. It's wrong for her to use her medical skills to benefit her daughter," Huo Jian'an said stubbornly after hearing what Old Master Huo said.

Five years have passed, and Huo Jianan is not actually that angry anymore, but for some reason, there is a feeling of anger stuck in his heart that he can't get out of.

He didn't know where this anger came from; he just couldn't stand Ye Zhaoyu.

"I think you're hopeless. Doctors do save people, but with so many patients a year, why would she save you and not others?" Old Master Huo felt a throbbing pain in his head after hearing Huo Jian'an's words.

How did they grow up to be so arrogant and ignorant of human affairs?

"Why? It must be because I'm outstanding, I can create greater value, and I'm more deserving of being saved than others." Huo Jian'an confidently raised his head.

He is 27 years old this year and is already a deputy regimental commander. Looking across the country, how many people can become deputy regimental commanders at the age of 27?

"Are you daydreaming? Without the Huo family's backing, do you think you can keep getting promoted so smoothly?" Old Master Huo was furious at Huo Jian'an's smug look.

My face hurts.

My head hurts even more.

If his surname wasn't Huo, how could he have been promoted so quickly?

The grandfather and grandson were arguing and making a ruckus in the hospital room.

After confirming that Old Master Huo was asleep and that the person taking over had arrived, Huo Jian'an went home.

The Huo family.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Zhaoyu returned to the Huo family home and began packing her things, preparing to get her divorce certificate and leave immediately.

Five years ago, someone targeted the Ye family and poisoned her and her mother.

Her mother, Ye Lingge, had suffered health problems due to childbirth and various ailments from fighting in her youth. She died shortly after being poisoned.

Relying on the antidote recipe left by her mother, Ye Zhaoyu spent five years gathering all the medicinal herbs to clear the poison from her body.

The five-year agreement has been reached, and it's time to go back, find the enemy, and take revenge.

When Huo Jianan returned home, he saw Ye Zhaoyu packing her things.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry, there are still several days!" Huo Jianan felt a little uncomfortable seeing Ye Zhaoyu so anxious.
