After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 4 Ideals are full, but reality is skinny
As soon as Li Qinghuang stepped into the ward, she was greeted by a pair of slightly excited eyes.
She was slightly startled, then looked at the person in front of her.
The man was about fifty years old, with a square face and a resolute expression. The well-made iron-gray suit set off his tall and straight body, giving people a sense of strong majesty.
But now, the man was looking at her seriously, with only his deep eyes that seemed to be about to speak.
Is she familiar with this person?
Li Qinghuang searched through the original owner's memory and confirmed that he had never seen this person.
Wait, I just heard Butler Wang call this man Master. Doesn’t that mean this is Huo Yuchen’s grandfather?
Perhaps there is some kinship with this body as well?
Thinking of this, Li Qinghuang subconsciously used his secret method again to check this person's past and present lives.
But the next second, she stopped again.
She had just woken up from a coma and could not use her secret technique again, otherwise the injury to her soul would become more serious.
Forget it. Looking at this person’s expression, he should have noticed something. Let’s just wait and see what happens.
He took another look at the bed and found that Huo Yuchen was just asleep, so he felt relieved.
"Qing Huang, you..."
"I'm here to see Huo Yuchen."
The two spoke in unison at the same time.
Li Qinghuang looked at Huo Yuheng in surprise.
He called her so familiarly, could he really be her relative?
But wasn’t the original owner stolen when he was born?
Li Qinghuang blinked and decided to test the other party.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Huo Yuheng, Huo Yuchen's grandfather. Thank you for saving him. If you need anything from my Huo family in the future, just let me know."
At this time, Huo Yuheng had already reacted. He suppressed his inner excitement, a smile broke out on his face, and he said.
Although he knew that the other person might be his long-lost daughter, Huo Yuheng had no intention of recognizing her immediately.
After all, nothing is as convincing as a paternity test.
After hearing this, Li Qinghuang's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curved.
"To be honest, Mr. Huo, I do have something that I need your help with."
She didn't plan to go around in circles looking for her relatives. Since Huo Yuheng seemed to know something, she might as well just do it.
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yuheng nodded and said, "You go ahead."
This attitude is almost like saying that no matter whether the Huo family can do it or not, they will never refuse.
Li Qinghuang was very satisfied with his understanding, so she chuckled and said, "Since Mr. Huo is from the imperial capital, have you ever heard of a family in the imperial capital that lost their daughter eighteen years ago?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuheng was stunned.
After a while, he said in a dry voice: "What do you mean? Could it be..."
"Yes, as Mr. Huo thought, I am the lost child."
Li Qinghuang said lightly.
Huo Yuheng's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the little girl in front of him in disbelief.
He never thought that Li Qinghuang would know his life experience, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
"You, since you know you are not that family's child, why are you thinking about finding your relatives now?"
Huo Yuheng could no longer remain calm and asked almost losing his voice.
He had many questions in his mind, about Li Qinghuang and Wang Qinglan.
Especially Li Qinghuang.
How did she learn all these skills after suffering so much abuse at the hands of Wang Qinglan over the years?
This is totally inconsistent with what Butler Wang found out.
But asking him to ask Li Qinghuang was simply impossible.
He and Jingwan owed this child for eighteen years, and they just wanted to hold her in their hands and pamper her for the rest of their lives.
Whether the other party says it or not, he will never force it.
Li Qinghuang glanced at him briefly before saying, "I just found out about this not long ago, too. If Mr. Huo knows, please let me know."
She saw that Huo Yuheng seemed to have a lot of questions, but she didn't intend to explain.
Should she tell the other party that your daughter is dead and the person standing in front of you is an old monster who has taken over her body?
Although Li Qinghuang is a little reckless, she is definitely not stupid.
"I see."
Huo Yuheng nodded and didn't want to wait any longer.
Originally, he planned to find a way to get Li Qinghuang's hair or nails, do a paternity test, and then tell the other party tactfully.
But now, since she already knew that her background was different, she thought it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day. The sooner she does it, the better.
So Huo Yuheng took a deep breath and said directly: "Originally I wanted to tell you after I got the results, but now, I can't wait that long.
If I am not mistaken, you are most likely my, Huo Yuheng's biological daughter, the sixth young lady of the Huo family who was lost eighteen years ago!
Of course, if you don’t believe it, you can do a paternity test immediately to prove it.”
He finished speaking in one breath and looked at Li Qinghuang expectantly.
This child must be very happy knowing that his biological father is right in front of him.
However, Li Qinghuang just nodded calmly: "Then do it."
"good!"
Um?
Why isn't she excited at all?
Is it because they have suffered so much that they have developed resentment towards their biological parents and are no longer very enthusiastic about them?
How is this possible!
Huo Yuheng took a step and was about to make some more assurances, but he saw Li Qinghuang's body soften and fall down.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
Huo Yuheng was horrified and rushed forward to hug the other person, shouting outside.
…
At this moment, Li Qinghuang felt that her soul was extremely comfortable, as if she was in an eggshell and her whole body was warm.
The chilly feeling in the sea of consciousness caused by the invasion of black blood also subsided a little at this moment.
That’s right, just now, after she agreed to do a paternity test, a ray of golden light of merit as thick as a thumb fell from the sky and landed accurately into her sea of consciousness.
Then, just as she expected, this golden light of merit was the nemesis of black blood.
With just a wisp of it, a little bit of the black blood was evaporated, and her soul, which was on the verge of breaking, became much more stable.
"The Heavenly Dao of this world is too stingy. It only bestowed such a small amount of merit, which is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Confirming that doing good deeds would really bring merit, the sense of urgency since his rebirth disappeared, and Li Qinghuang began to want to jump again.
She was an unscrupulous person in her previous life. In this life, she was trapped in a mortal body and was threatened by black blood at any time. She had long been feeling very depressed.
Now that I finally see hope for recovery, I can’t wait to show my skills and become a savior.
It makes no difference.
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
She just moved her sea of consciousness slightly, wanting to test whether the cave was still there, but then her brain buzzed and she fell into a complete sleep.
When she woke up again, she found it was already the next morning.
Beside the bed, Huo Yuheng was holding one of her hands, whispering to himself with a guilty look on his face, "It's all Dad's fault. It's Dad who failed to find you earlier, causing you to suffer so much. Don't worry, Dad will make that family pay you back tenfold or a hundredfold for the suffering you've endured!"
Li Qinghuang opened her eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.
His suit was wrinkled, his face looked haggard, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Is this a sleepless night?
For some reason, a warm feeling she had never felt before suddenly hit her heart, leaving Li Qinghuang completely stunned.
