"Huo Jue, it's a good thing you're here. Tell me yourself. People in the village say that Auntie Pang has adopted your grandmother as her godmother. Is this true?"
Huo Zhiguo's eyes fell on Huo Jue. He glanced at his uncle with concern in his eyes: "This is indeed true."
"Uncle, isn't this a joyous event for us?"
Huo Jue stared at Huo Zhiguo. He raised his eyebrows and said with a natural expression, "Why are you unhappy now?"
"You are so confused. Who asked you to do this?"
As Huo Zhiguo spoke, he reached out and grabbed Huo Jue's wrist: "You must come out with me right now."
Huo Jue struggled to get rid of Huo Zhiguo. Emotions were churning in his eyes, and it was hard to figure out what he meant for a moment.
"Xiaobo, what are you doing?"
Huo Jue frowned and looked at Huo Zhiguo disapprovingly: "Shouldn't we sit down and have a good talk first?"
"What are you talking about? You didn't even inform me of such an important matter, so why are you saying unnecessary things now?"
Huo Zhiguo's eyes were filled with anger. The emotion in Huo Jue's eyes changed, and he broke free from Huo Zhiguo's hand. Huo Zhiguo staggered forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
He reached out to hold onto a nearby tree to steady himself, his gaze quickly landing on Huo Jue: "Huo Jue, you're truly courageous. You dare to attack me now, don't you?"
The quarrel in the yard soon attracted Mrs. Huo. She hurried out and her eyes fell on the two of them: "What's going on with you?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Old Mrs. Huo. He took a few steps forward, held his grandmother's hand, and persuaded her to leave.
Huo Zhiguo saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop Huo Jue. His expression was a bit cold: "Huo Jue, let go of your grandmother and let her come over and talk it out."
Huo Jue frowned, and Old Lady Huo also looked at him: "Huo Zhiguo, what do you want to do?"
She scolded him angrily, and Huo Jue also set his eyes on the old lady: "Grandma, no matter what my uncle says, you don't need to take it to heart. Let's go first?"
Huo Zhiguo pretended not to hear what Huo Jue said. He stepped forward and stopped them: "Mom, please explain clearly. Why do you want to recognize Aunt Pang as your daughter? It's not like you don't have a son!"
He frowned and said, "Do you know that what you did really made me lose face?"
"Huo Zhiguo, what face do you need now?"
Mrs. Huo originally didn't want to say these words, but her son kept pestering her. She said angrily, "You have never cared about me. If Huo Jue really gets into college in the future, he will definitely leave. Do you think you will still care about me then?"
Huo Zhiguo was speechless after hearing his mother's words.
Old Madam Huo also snorted coldly and said, "Now that you have done this, let's talk it out in front of Huo Jue."
Huo Zhiguo was breathless for a moment. He knew what his mother meant. Staring at Old Mrs. Huo, Huo Zhiguo pleaded for peace: "Mom, when you say these things now, at least give me some face."
His helpless look was seen by Old Lady Huo, who sneered, "Huo Zhiguo, don't I know you? You insisted on making it clear before, but now you want me to save face for you?"
Huo Zhiguo's face looked very ugly.
Mrs. Huo's gaze fell on him, the emotions in her eyes changing several times before she added, "I originally wanted to save some face for you, but are the things you've done worthy of my saving face for you?"
"It's fine if I acknowledge Aunt Fatty as my goddaughter and let her take care of me in the future. You've always thought I was a burden, right?"
Huo Zhiguo wanted to say that he didn't think so, but when he met his mother's gaze, he couldn't say a word.
"Zhiguo, you now know that I have nothing to say to you. If you still want to save some face, then let it be."
Huo Zhiguo's eyes fell on his mother. He opened his mouth but found that he couldn't say a word.
Mrs. Huo was indeed tired after going through this. She waved her hand and said, "Ajue, please take me in."
Huo Jue stood aside without saying anything. After hearing his grandmother's voice, he quickly helped her into the room.
Wen Xia Nuan stood in the yard and didn't say anything else. She watched Huo Zhiguo turn around and leave. There were still some dishes and chopsticks left in the yard, which she quickly put away.
By the time Huo Jue came out, Wen Xia Nuan had almost finished packing.
She wiped her hands, and the emotion in her eyes fell on Huo Jue: "I've already packed it up, so don't bother yourself anymore."
Huo Jue responded and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Thank you for your help."
When his words came, Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand: "It's not really a problem."
She sat on a stone bench in the yard, looking at Huo Jue, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet: "Huo Jue, what your grandmother is doing now really gives us a moment of respite."
He was silent for a long time, looking at the dark night, and finally said: "My grandmother's current choice, to put it bluntly, is to win me back. I don't comment on her actions, I just hope she can be smarter in the future."
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and Wen Xia Nuan felt inexplicably helpless.
To put it bluntly, what Mrs. Huo is doing now is actually making up for the guilt she owed in the past.
"Huo Jue, do you hate your grandma?"
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue.
Huo Jue was silent for a moment, then looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "I can't say I hate her or not. My grandma has been through a lot, so it's understandable that she sometimes acts a little too aggressively. After all, she's old."
"Even at this time, the things she did made me think about it and wonder if she might have done something wrong."
Huo Jue's eyes were filled with peace, and Wen Xia Nuan could not see any anger or annoyance in them at this moment.
"Huo Jue, you are really good."
Wen Xia Nuan murmured something, Huo Jue glanced at her, said nothing else, just smiled.
"It's getting late, Huo Jue, you should go and rest first."
After Wen Xia Nuan said this, Huo Jue also stood up and came to her side: "A Nuan, am I truly worthy of you now?"
"Why do you think so?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him in surprise: "Huo Jue, you've done well enough for me."
