Chapter 211 Mrs. Huo: Kneel down!
Outside the courtyard, Ji Huiying was seen looking dusty.
His whole face was filled with fatigue.
She was carrying a small box beside her and just looked at them coldly.
Shen Qingran subconsciously tried to break free from Huo Tingxiao's arms.
But he put his hands around her waist.
It was like a standoff between mother and son.
Huo Tingxiao did not move, and Ji Huiying did not move either.
After a long time, the woman outside walked inside step by step carrying a box.
The displeased look moved back and forth on Huo Tingxiao's face, and finally fell on Shen Qingran's face.
His face was full of unkindness and contempt.
"Shen Qingran, have you forgotten what you promised me? Or, you can't live without Ting Xiao."
Shen Qingran's face turned pale.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Huo Tingxiao was about to speak when Shen Qingran reached out and patted his arm.
She let go from his arms.
The sudden cold wind made her shiver.
He walked forward step by step without hesitation.
No retreat, no dodging.
Just like that, he walked in front of Ji Huiying.
He looked at her calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Comrade Ji Huiying, what did you promise me?"
Ji Huiying didn't expect that Shen Qingran didn't give her any face at all.
She thought she would be servile and try hard to please, but she didn't expect Shen Qingran to be so arrogant!
He suddenly became furious and raised his hand to slap Shen Qingran.
"mom!"
"Ji Huiying!"
Two voices sounded.
Shen Qingran held her raised hand in mid-air with one hand.
The pupil color is dark and dull.
The next second, she was held in Huo Tingxiao's arms.
"Pa" a slap, neither light nor heavy, landed on Huo Tingxiao's back.
There was total silence.
After a long while, Old Mrs. Huo walked down directly from upstairs.
A pair of eyes stared at Ji Huiying with cold light.
"What are you doing?"
Ji Huiying trembled all over, shrugged her shoulders and stepped back in fear.
She was afraid of the old lady.
The old lady's family name was Shu and her maiden name was Hua Zheng.
When she was young, she was the famous Fourth Miss in Peking.
After getting married, she followed her husband in battles and became a famous female warrior.
Although she is no longer as carefree as before when she is old, she is still a strong and resolute rose.
Many times, she doesn't want to bother with herself.
But most of the time, when it comes to important decisions at home, Huo Jianyuan needs to listen to her opinion.
When the Huo family encountered trouble, the old lady made a prompt decision to send her son and grandson to the countryside.
Under such circumstances, the old lady met the head of state on her own and preserved the Huo family's century-old foundation, and no one dared to touch it.
So Ji Huiying was afraid of her from the bottom of her heart.
I feel like she's hard to get close to.
The old lady remained calm and said, "Come out with me."
Ji Huiying was depressed and wanted Huo Tingxiao for help, as the old lady loved him the most.
But Huo Tingxiao didn't even look at her.
Under the oppressive gaze of the old lady, Ji Huiying followed with her shoulders drooped.
The look in his eyes was indeed full of hatred.
Everyone looked at this scene and felt a little embarrassed. No one was a fool, and this situation was too obvious.
"Well, everyone go in. We can't get involved in their family affairs."
Yu Hewei was the political commissar, and he couldn't help but frown.
I think Xiao Huo’s mother is really unreasonable.
In such a scene, she doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all.
"Commissar Yu, Director Tang, I'm sorry."
Huo Tingxiao held Shen Qingran's arm and said, "I'll take care of it."
Yu Hewei sighed, "Your father has to take care of this matter."
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips tightly. He didn't expect that his mother would come all the way to Ning City.
Take Shen Qingran away from Yu Hewei's courtyard.
Huo Tingxiao put his coat on Shen Qingran's shoulders
Her expression was calm and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
For the first time, Huo Tingxiao felt a little nervous and scared.
"Ranran, I didn't know she would come. I will take care of it."
Shen Qingran looked at the swaying shadows in the night.
There was some fatigue in his eyes.
Although she had thought of today's scene when she promised to give Huo Tingxiao another chance.
But she didn't expect it to come so soon.
In her mind, Ji Huiying was just someone she knew.
But she is indeed Huo Tingxiao's mother.
The one who should be in trouble is not himself, but Huo Tingxiao.
Shen Qingran reached out and touched his brow.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to handle it."
Huo Tingxiao suddenly felt relieved and reached out to hold her in his arms.
His hands patted her back again and again.
It’s not that she doesn’t feel wronged, but that she feels wronged too much.
"Ranran, believe me."
Shen Qingran was calm and composed, as if she didn't take the matter to heart. She said softly, "Let Sun Feng take me back. I don't think you can go back today."
Huo Tingxiao shook his head, half bent over, and stared at her unfocused eyes.
"Wait for me, I'll go back with you."
Shen Qingran pursed her lips and considered for a moment, "Are you sure?"
He is expressing his stance.
Huo Tingxiao smiled and rubbed the top of her head with his fingers, "Get in the car and wait for me. I'll go wherever you are."
Shen Qingran raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay."
She got in the car, looked at his back as he left, her lips curled up.
No reason, I just feel happy.
This happiness is the feeling of being valued.
After a while, Sun Feng appeared from nowhere.
Looking through the car window, "Sister-in-law, this is what the group leader asked me to prepare for you."
Shen Qingran looked at the hot water cup and saw that there was still a lot of food in it. "Thank you, Comrade Sun Feng."
Sun Feng scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, your dress is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? I want to make one for my little sister too."
Her younger sister wrote to her two days ago saying that she was getting married and that she would definitely like this dress. She would consider it as a wedding gift from her brother.
Shen Qingran smiled and gave him the address.
Listening to Sun Feng telling him about the blind date that Political Commissar Yu introduced to him tonight, Shen Qingran listened very carefully and gave some advice when appropriate.
It's obvious who sent him.
She was happy to accept his kindness.
Isn't love supposed to be an enjoyable existence?
——
And this side.
Old Mrs. Huo sat quietly on the sofa. Even though she was sitting there, her aura made people dare not act rashly.
Ji Huiying stood in front of her, hesitating.
"mom."
The old lady didn't respond, but just looked at her quietly.
Ji Huiying felt her heart pounding. In all these years of marriage, she had never seen the old lady so serious.
I feel a little unsure.
"Mom, are you tired? Can I get you a glass of water?"
But I found that there was no hot water here.
Old Mrs. Huo just watched her busying around in a panic, her eyes full of coldness.
"Mom, there is no water here at Tingxiao. Look, such a good family has become so deserted. I don't know how they live."
Mrs. Huo said in a cold voice, "Kneel down."
Ji Huiying's face turned pale.
"mom."
"Kneel down!" These two words were not negotiable.
Ji Huiying gritted her teeth. She had never been insulted like this before and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, you are going to kill me."
Old Madam Huo raised her voice and ordered, "Kneel down!"
Ji Huiying gritted her teeth and tears as big as beans fell down.
Finally, he fell to his knees with a thud.
He lowered his head and sobbed.
It seemed that what was kneeling was not her knees, but her dignity.
Mrs. Huo said in a serious tone, "The Huo family has been around for a hundred years, and many people have come out of it, and they have died for many years. Jianyuan is the fifth generation, and you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the fifth generation. Every generation has its own career and achievements, and is definitely not an appendage of the husband."
Ji Huiying felt that every word was an insult to her.
If her mother-in-law is willing to give her the assets, won’t she have a career?
But she just holds on to it and refuses to give up the power at all.
Now you're blaming yourself.
Old Mrs. Huo looked at Ji Huiying in front of her.
Finally closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of emotion left.
"Ji Huiying, Ting Xiao is the eldest grandson of my Huo family, and the most promising child in this area of the Huo family. If you still insist on not changing your ways, the Huo family will not tolerate you."
Ji Huiying was completely stunned.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm his mother, how can I hurt him?"
Mrs. Huo sneered, "So you are helping him?"
Ji Huiying said as a matter of course, "Of course I am helping him!"
Old Mrs. Huo smiled directly and examined the woman opposite her.
"Are you helping him, or yourself?"
"Ji Huiying, I didn't want to say much to you in the past because of the children. Do you really think I don't know what you have done over the years?"
Ji Huiying was trembling all over, she knew that the old lady was warning her.
But she was unwilling.
"Mom, if Tingxiao continues like this, his future will be ruined. Besides, have you forgotten Tingzhou? He is also a good boy. I..."
Old Mrs. Huo reached out and pushed her arm away.
The disappointment was palpable.
"Kneel here and don't get up without my permission. Otherwise, my Huo family will not tolerate you."
Ji Huiying was horrified. The ground was so hard and cold. Did the old lady want to kneel her to death?
Will her legs be broken tomorrow?
Mrs. Huo opened the door.
Then I saw my eldest grandson standing at the door.
Huo Tingxiao looked through the old lady at the woman behind her.
For the first time, he felt his mother was so strange.
"grandmother."
"Go out."
She is also a mother, so naturally she doesn't want her children to see her in such a miserable state.
She still had to save her face in this regard.
Old Mrs. Huo looked at him with a bad expression.
"Did you hear that?"
Huo Tingxiao's dark eyes were calm, and his whole body was cold.
"Okay, grandma, I'm afraid of the cold."
After he finished speaking, Huo Tingxiao's anger dissipated a little.
"grandmother."
Mrs. Huo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, grandma will handle it."
The eldest grandson still has a future, and this kind of thing will bring bad reputation to him.
