Chapter 4 Vicious Mother-in-law
...
Two days have passed.
It has been two days since Su Rui left the Huo's old house.
During this period, Su Rui did not receive a single message from Huo Yan.
Su Rui paced back and forth anxiously at the window with his mobile phone in hand, a little unbelievable. Could it be that Huo Yan was really angry because he left him?
Su Rui lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
It shouldn't be.
Huo Yan has liked Su Rui for seven years, and he is still a real love-brain. Not to mention that he listens to Su Rui, but as long as it is related to Su Rui, he will put it first.
Even if Huo Yan is really angry with himself, after leaving the Huo family, Su Rui has already sent him a message to apologize, and Huo Yan should calm down when he sees it.
Something unusual must have happened that Su Rui did not expect.
But now Su Rui could not contact Huo Yan. She was in too passive a situation.
Su Rui frowned and touched her belly with a little anxiety. The words of the prenatal doctor yesterday were still vivid in her mind:
"...You have to make a decision as soon as possible. The fetus is now thirteen weeks old. If you want to go abroad for surgery, you can prepare now..."
"Although there are medical conditions in the country, I think with your status, it is best not to stay in the country unless it is absolutely necessary..."
Su Rui took a deep breath. How could he not know that his best choice now was to go abroad?
But how easy is it to go abroad?
Not to mention that he has already negotiated two variety shows. If he temporarily breaches the contract, he will need to pay double the penalty.
Even if Su Rui really paid the penalty, he would not have the money to pay for the expensive surgery abroad.
The baby in her belly came unexpectedly. Su Rui had just broken up with He Shi at that time and was not prepared at all.
When he reacted, He Shi could no longer be contacted. Su Rui also thought about whether to abort the child, but this was his and He Shi's flesh and blood after all...
At that time, Su Rui urgently needed someone who could support him.
And Huo Yan happened to be the best choice.
There is no better candidate than Huo Yan, a handsome, rich, and love-minded man who has been secretly in love with Su Rui for many years.
Su Rui deliberately designed that night in the hotel, and every step of getting close to each other afterwards was even more deliberate and step-by-step.
It was not easy to make Huo Yan devoted to Su Rui, but he didn't expect that things would still go wrong.
If I had known earlier... Su Rui should not have agreed to let Huo Yan go to the Huo family that day. He should not have been obsessed with an identity, but should have held Huo Yan firmly.
As long as Huo Yan always stood behind him, he would have something to rely on.
But now that things have happened, there is no point in regretting it.
Su Rui stroked his belly, picked up his mobile phone, and tried to call Huo Yan.
As expected, the call was still not connected.
Just when Su Rui was anxious, the mobile phone rang suddenly. He was happy and answered the phone without even looking at it: "Hello——"
"Is that Su Rui?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in his ears, and the smile on Su Rui's face froze.
Mother Huo was holding a cell phone, and next to her was Father Huo, on the right was Ye Leyao, and not far away was Huo Yan, who looked troubled.
The other end of the phone was silent for a short time, and soon Su Rui's slightly hesitant voice rang: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Mother Huo said directly: "I am Huo Yan's mother, do you have time to meet me?"
Su Rui frowned, he had expected that the Huo family would contact him, but at this time he could not contact Huo Yan at all, and meeting Mother Huo alone was not in Su Rui's plan.
After thinking for a moment, Su Rui politely said, "Sorry, auntie..."
Mother Huo expected him to refuse, and interrupted him in the same tone, "You probably haven't contacted Ah Yan these two days, right?"
Su Rui's fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened, thinking that it was true, and his face was grim: "It's you..."
Mother Huo glanced at Huo Yan, who was fidgeting, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "So let's meet, I'll send you the place and time later."
After saying this, Mother Huo hung up the phone.
"How is it?" Mother Huo raised her chin slightly towards Ye Leyao.
Ye Leyao narrowed his eyes and raised his thumb: "Very good!"
[It tastes like the vicious mother-in-law in a romance novel! ]
The smile on Mother Huo's face froze.
Father Huo almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Huo Yan was the only one with a bitter face. He hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Mom, how about I also..."
"Don't worry, you have to be there." Huo's mother guessed what Huo Yan wanted to say and interrupted him. Ye
Leyao also nodded.
[Second brother will not give up until he hears Su Rui admit with his own ears that he is close to her for money. He will not give up.] Huo Yan opened his lips and wanted to defend his beloved, but just as the words came to his mouth, Ye Leyao's words that day rang like a spell, lingering in his ears again. Thinking of Su Rui's resolute back when he left, Huo Yan felt a blockage in his throat, and he felt very uncomfortable. Two days ago, Ye Leyao's idea was unanimously approved by Huo's father and mother. Without giving Huo Yan any room to refuse, the two of them made a series of plans, which naturally included asking Huo Yan not to contact Su Rui for two days. It's not that Huo Yan didn't want to refuse, but the conditions set by Huo's father and mother this time were too tempting - as long as Su Rui could pass this test, Huo's father and mother would no longer prevent Huo Yan and Su Rui from being together. Even if Huo Yan wanted to marry Su Rui in the future, they would support him. Huo Yan hesitated. Su Rui had an agent to take care of him, and he would not contact him for two days, so there would be no problem. After Su Rui and Huo's mother met, they could get along day and night in the future. It was a very good deal and Huo Yan couldn't find any reason to refuse it.
But Huo Yan couldn't help but wonder -
can Su Rui really pass this test?
Huo Yan knows Huo's mother, she is not an aggressive person. Huo Yan was also beside Huo's father and mother when they made plans, and knew all the content of Huo's mother's conversation with Su Rui tomorrow.
They were all routine questions, and Su Rui would definitely be able to answer them well.
Except for the last 10 million...
Can Su Rui really refuse 10 million without hesitation for himself?
If Su Rui really agreed to leave with the 10 million given by Huo's mother, then himself...
Just thinking of this guess, Huo Yan's heart was filled with dense pain.
Huo Yan tried very hard to persuade himself in his heart that he should believe in Su Rui's character. Su Rui must like him to be with him, and Su Rui would definitely reject his parents' temptation without hesitation.
But for some reason, after what happened two days ago, Huo Yan suddenly became less determined.
...
On the day of the meeting, Ye Leyao and his group arrived at the private room early.
The location reserved by Huo's mother was very hidden, with antique decoration, very quiet.
In addition, the most important thing was that there was an attic above this private room.
Huo's mother sat in the private room downstairs, and Ye Leyao, Huo's father and Huo Yan were in the attic.
Worried that they would be bored waiting, Huo's mother also asked the waiter to serve a table of snacks.
Dad Huo had no interest in desserts, so he took out his tablet and started to deal with company affairs.
Huo Yan was so nervous that he couldn't eat at all.
So all the snacks were placed in front of Ye Leyao.
Ye Leyao took a bite of lava chocolate and a bite of osmanthus honey dew, and ate with a satisfied look on his face. At the same time, he didn't forget to mutter in his heart:
[Why hasn't Su Rui come yet? ]
Mom Huo looked at the time and found that Su Rui was already half an hour late. Dad Huo
tilted his head and glanced at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan was fidgeting with his phone in his hand. Just as he was about to get up and go out to check, he heard Ye Leyao's analysis again:
[Could it be that Su Rui gave up and was ready to give up his second brother, so he didn't care about Mom Huo's impression of him and was late on purpose today? Huo
Yan frowned. Su Rui was always punctual. Today he came to see the elders. How could he be late on purpose? There
must have been an accident on the way.
Besides, Su Rui hadn't even met Mother Huo yet. How could he give up on me?
Suddenly, a waiter knocked on the door downstairs
. "Madam, your guest is here."
Ye Leyao was instantly excited:
[Here, here, here!]
Father Huo put down the tablet.
Huo Yan sat up slightly.
Mother Huo said, "Come in."
The door of the box was opened, Su Rui walked in, and the waiter closed the door from the outside.
Mother Huo looked at Su Rui and motioned to him, "Sit down."
Su Rui sat down opposite Mother Huo.
Mother Huo handed over the menu: "What would you like to drink?"
Su Rui lowered his eyes to look at the menu and did not take it.
Mother Huo slightly raised her eyebrows and put down the menu casually.
Su Rui looked up at Mother Huo and said straight to the point: "Since Auntie has asked me to meet here, I won't beat around the bush. But before that, I have a question."
Mother Huo said: "Ask it."
Su Rui has been looking at this box since he came in. After a careful look around and seeing that there were no cameras, he felt a little relieved and asked: "Auntie will not spread our conversation today, right?"
"Of course not." Mother Huo said.
After getting an affirmative answer from Mrs. Huo, Su Rui smiled: "That's good. I came here today with sincerity, and I believe my aunt does too. You came to me today because you hope that I can completely leave Huo Yan..."
Huo Yan in the attic frowned suddenly, and his heart was also lifted.
Why did Su Rui bring up this topic?
Ye Leyao suddenly felt that the lines sounded familiar when he heard this. He quickly opened his memo and read the recorded plot.
Suddenly:
[Found it! 】
【He Shi is the illegitimate son of the He family. When the He family found out that Su Rui and He Shi were together, He's mother found Su Rui and talked to him. Su Rui was of course unwilling to break up with He Shi, but in order to allow He Shi to inherit the family property smoothly and let the baby grow up healthily, Su Rui asked He's mother for... five million! 】
Huo Yan's face turned black, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Rui's voice from downstairs——
"Five million."
Huo Yan was stunned.
Su Rui said: "Give me five million, and I will leave your son."
Huo Yan lost his grip, and a glass cup fell to the ground, and the glass fragments exploded everywhere, just like his heart full of expectations, which was instantly shattered into pieces.
