"I didn't lie to you about my parents. It's true. My grandmother's family lives in the capital. After my mom went crazy, they took her to a nursing home in the capital for treatment. My sister would take time out every year to visit her."

"What about you?" Su Ruowan couldn't help but interrupt. She had always wanted to know more about his parents.

Acupuncture treatment of hysteria may be a new topic she can research and develop next.

"Me? My grandma doesn't let me see her. They all think I'm a disaster. The most important thing is that when I was a child, my grandma took me to see her. Every time she saw me, the situation got worse. She would make a fuss and say that I wasn't her son."

“…”

Su Ruowan covered her mouth. She didn't expect this to happen.

Being rejected by his own mother, how hurt must Huo Shengnian's heart be when he was a child?

Su Ruowan couldn't help but feel sorry for Huo Shengnian again.

Su Ruowan reached out and apologized carefully, "I'm sorry, Huo Shengnian."

Huo Shengnian grabbed her hand and clasped their fingers tightly. He chuckled and shook his head, "Why are you apologizing to me? It's all in the past. At the beginning, it was very painful. I even thought about whether I should die."

Su Ruowan tightened her grip.

Huo Shengnian moved his fingers slightly and patted her fingers as a way of comforting her. No one noticed. This small gesture was very intimate.

"Let me tell you about my grandfather. When he was young, he was very playboy and liked to play with women. He had played with many women. Plus, he was good at making money and he was also good-looking. Those women would stick to him even if they couldn't get a legitimate marriage."

"My grandmother and my grandfather were originally married. My grandmother couldn't stand my grandfather's philandering, so she wanted to divorce him. My grandfather refused to agree. It wasn't until my grandmother gave birth to Huo Jingbang that she was finally free and got the freedom she wanted."

"There's still an old lady Huo in the Huo family in the imperial capital. I'm giving you a heads-up. That old lady Huo is my great-aunt, my grandmother's sister, and her maiden name is Liu Cai."

“…”

Su Ruowan knew that her grandmother's maiden name was Liu Hong.

The names of the two sisters just happen to form a rainbow.

It's a good idea for the parents to give the two sisters such names. They probably hope that the sisters can love each other and grow up to be friendly and respectful to each other. So how come they are involved with the same man?

Even so, Su Ruowan felt that her grandmother had a very good attitude. She was like a happy person in Fushouju.

If Huo Shengnian hadn't said this, she would never have imagined that her grandmother's marriage was so unhappy.

Many ordinary people could not accept that their elder sister became their husband's second wife and replaced their own position, but my grandmother did not let herself fall into trouble and lived a wonderful life of her own.

Found the best place to stay.

Huo Shengnian has some of Grandpa Huo's bad genes, but he has been carefully cultivated and raised by a good woman like his grandmother. No wonder he has grown up to be the person she likes so much.

"I didn't want to be honest with you before because I know my family is not good, very bad. So, if I could never tell you this, I really want to keep these ugly things hidden from you forever."

"Huo Shengnian, you shouldn't think like that. Those are your grandfather's scandals, not yours. You can't choose where you were born. It's the same for me. Just because our family is not good doesn't mean we are bad. What do you think?"

"Yeah." Huo Shengnian nodded, feeling comforted by her.

"By the way, speaking of your grandfather and your uncle, I want to tell you something. There was a big client in the capital who offered me a hundred thousand yuan as a dowry and asked me to go to the capital to give acupuncture to people with headaches. That big client was your grandfather."

"I've already met your uncle."

"Yes, I guessed it before." Huo Shengnian did not hide it from her. "Later, I asked Feng Yu and the others to go to the imperial capital to confirm this matter. Grandpa's headache is an old one. Grandpa Su has been helping him with acupuncture treatment before, so he hasn't had an attack for a long time."

"Grandpa Su started to have hand tremors three months ago, which is why he couldn't hold a needle and couldn't give acupuncture anymore."

"The Grandpa Su you mentioned, is he the old man Su from the Su family of traditional Chinese medicine?" If you don't understand, just ask. Today is the day for frank explanations, so Su Ruowan didn't hide it anymore.

If you have any doubts in your mind, just ask them all at once.

So that she wouldn't think he was hiding something from her in the future.

"Well, do you know him?"

Su Ruowan shook her head. "I wouldn't call it acquaintance. We've never even met properly. A few years ago, when I was still in school, the professor of acupuncture, who was my elective, thought I had talent and recommended him to me. In the end, I didn't go to the capital."

"Is it because of Xie Qinghui?" Huo Shengnian sometimes really didn't wish he was so smart.

When Xie Qinghui's name was mentioned, his fingers tightened involuntarily.

He also watched the edited video of Xie Qinghui pursuing Su Ruowan that Wen Jing posted online.

Although Xie Qinghui never gave Su Ruowan a flower, he was indeed very attentive when pursuing her. No matter whether Su Ruowan was studying or doing experiments, as long as she came out of these places, Xie Qinghui would provide her with a hot meal.

A down-to-earth woman like Su Ruowan, compared to those flashy flowers and rituals, at that time, when she was hungry, someone would feed her delicious food in time, which could capture her heart more than any roses and romance.

Moreover, Xie Qinghui had good grades. At that time, he studied hard and was ambitious. It was conceivable that Su Ruowan would be conquered by him.
