Huo Zhegan quickly pulled Song Chunli back, saying, "Don't rush, rushing won't help."
Old Master Huo looked at Huo Yingjie and asked, "Yingjie, what do you say?"
He was the one who said those things back then, and now that he wants to change, he needs to listen to the advice of others, especially the biggest victims from back then.
“We, the Huo family, will not allow ourselves to be bullied like this,” Huo Yingjie said. “Yingqi is in mortal danger, and we cannot ignore her. Moreover, Yingqi has a child. If she grows up in that kind of environment, neither she nor her child will live long.”
“Dad, let Yingqi come back. If she’s still as willful as before, I’ll send her somewhere else and find someone to take care of her and watch over her. At least she won’t be bullied. She hasn’t eaten for three days…” Huo Zhegan said. That was his daughter. Even in the most difficult times for the family, his daughter would never go hungry for three days.
Madam Huo looked at Grandpa Huo hopefully and said, "Grandpa, Xu Jian is a good boy. He knows how to protect his mother. We can't let him stay in the Xu family."
After careful consideration, Old Master Huo nodded and said, "Alright, let her and the child come back."
As people get older, their hearts soften.
"Okay, I'll take Chunli there right now," Huo Zhegan said excitedly, forgetting all about work.
"Uncle, let me take Aunt over," Huo Yingjie said. It was the time for the People's Congress, and his uncle held a high position and a sensitive status, so he couldn't leave without permission.
Furthermore, it's uncertain when Huo Yingqi will recover, so it would be more appropriate for him to go instead.
If his elder brother were alive, it wouldn't be Huo Yingjie's turn.
With his older brother away, he had to do this for him.
Meanwhile, he was also worried about He Tiantian being in Guangzhou, and he would only feel at ease if he went there in person.
Huo Zhegan was deeply moved by these words, and then he remembered his work and realized that he really couldn't leave.
Song Chunli looked at Huo Yingjie gratefully and said, "Yingjie, you and Tiantian are both good people. It was all my fault for being petty before. I hope you won't be angry with me. I promise I won't treat you like that again."
In fact, Song Chunli has changed a lot in the past few years.
“Aunt, don’t thank me. We’re family. We can’t just stand by and watch others bully Yingqi,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ve already booked the plane. Our flight is at six o’clock tonight. When would you like to depart?”
"The sooner the better," Song Chunli said, eager to see her daughter.
I hope my daughter can get through this critical period.
Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo instructed, "Then hurry up and pack your things. Yingjie, you go too. You two will meet at the airport later. Once you get there, don't forget to call home often so we can know how things are going."
"Yes, I will," Huo Yingjie said. "I will take care of Aunt, Grandfather, Grandmother, and Uncle on the way. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Yingqi and Xu Jian back safely."
"Alright, I'll leave this to you." Old Master Huo nodded. It was rare for Yingjie and Tiantian to consider the blood ties of the Huo family at this time.
Song Chunli quickly went upstairs to pack her luggage, as well as some supplements for the sick and weak.
Huo Yingjie also went home and tidied up a bit.
He had already taken leave because the project had entered a stable phase. With Zhou Yuanchao present, the experiments could proceed smoothly, making it easier for him to take leave.
That evening, Huo Yingjie, Song Chunli, and four bodyguards boarded a plane and embarked on their journey to Guangzhou.
After making the phone call, He Tiantian, Wei Yuanyuan, and Xu Jian waited at the entrance of the emergency room.
Anxious waiting.
Even though they were hungry, Zhu Zhitao bought them food, but they didn't eat much.
Cui Ying went to call the police and returned an hour and a half later, but the emergency room light was still on, and she still hadn't come out.
Instead of receiving good news from the doctor, they were greeted by Granny Xu and her two sons, one in his forties and the other in his thirties.
"Xiao Jian, come here," one of the men shouted, as if he was about to hit Xiao Jian if he didn't obey.
Xu Jian shrank back in fright, afraid to look up, lest his father hit him.
He Tiantian shielded the child behind her and said, "This is a hospital. We'll talk about everything after the rescue is over."
"No," Granny Xu said. "We don't care whether the woman inside is dead or alive. You have to give us Xiao Jian. He is a member of the Xu family."
Since Huo Yingqi was in a car accident, the other party paid a lot of money in compensation, but Granny Xu did not provide Huo Yingqi with proper treatment. Before she was fully recovered, she was taken home and the money was saved up to build a big house.
As a result, Huo Yingqi's leg did not receive proper treatment, leaving her lame and unable to work.
Granny Xu disliked Huo Yingqi even more. When Granny Xu's son, Xu Jian's father, Xu Kaifa, saw that Huo Yingqi had become a cripple, he started an affair with a flirtatious widow and had been eager to get a divorce for a long time.
However, Granny Xu was afraid of divorce and her daughter-in-law taking away all the belongings, so she wanted to slowly wear Huo Yingqi down.
Huo Yingqi knew that continuing down this path would only lead to her death, which is why she told her child that the champion on TV was his aunt.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yingqi regretted it. How could she face her parents, grandparents, and two older brothers and sisters-in-law if she went back like this? She might as well be dead.
So later, no matter how Xu Jian asked, she wouldn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Xu wasn't good to her, but she was good to her son. If she dies, perhaps her son will have a better life. Usually, it was because of her that her son was beaten.
He Tiantian sneered and said, "We have already examined Xu Jian's injuries. He has been abused for a long time. The police are coming soon. They will question you about whether you abused the older or younger child."
Upon hearing He Tiantian mention the police, Granny Xu became smug, tilting her head back and pointing her nose at He Tiantian, saying arrogantly, "Haha, my eldest son, Xu Kaiming, is a policeman, and he's even the deputy director. Our family isn't afraid of anything."
Xu Kaiming stood beside his mother, as if supporting her.
He Tiantian looked Xu Kaiming up and down and said, "Since you work at the police station, you must have some insight. We are not an ordinary family. This big one and this little one have already been abused like this by you. If you hurt me again, none of your Xu family members will get away with it."
"Bullshit!" Xu Kaifa cursed. "This is our Xu family's territory. You, an outsider, dare to bully us locals? You're really overestimating yourself. Get up right now, Xiao Jian, come here. If you don't come, Dad will beat you to death later."
Xu Jian was trembling with fear; his father often beat him until he was in pain all over.
He Tiantian tightly protected Xu Jian and said, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will make you wish you were dead."
