Chapter 317: Sweet After Bitterness
When Chen Zhu woke up and heard what Aunt Zhang said, she didn't rush to the hospital. She lazily stayed at home, watching the large snowflakes falling, and she was almost smiling like a flower.
"Yiyi, it's getting a little cold. It's not good for your health if you open the window and want to play in the snow."
Aunt Zhang spoke in an experienced tone, with a complicated expression.
When the cold wind blows, even if you drink hot soup, you may not be safe, besides, Chen Zhuyi is pregnant.
"The heating at home is too strong. I feel so hot sitting inside that I want to feel some cool air." Chen Zhu smiled and obediently closed the window.
Huo Jinzhi came back at this time. There was joy in his eyes, and his voice was much lighter when he called Chen Zhuyi.
"I'm here!" Chen Zhu agreed excitedly, drank the ginger soup in one breath, and walked over with light steps.
"Maybe we can have a family reunion this year. Huo Qiyun just finished his business outside and is about to come back. My parents are also on the way." Huo Jinzhi caught the girl who rushed towards him, his eyes so soft that tears came out of his eyes.
The complexity of the past few days has finally disappeared completely today. I don’t need to worry about other people’s situations anymore, and I don’t need to worry about anything happening at home.
"Are they affected by my situation?" Chen Zhuyi was not as optimistic as Huo Jinzhi.
Su Yunya and Huo's father have been outside, interacting with people. To a certain extent, they are able to protect the people.
Now he has to give up his beloved career and come back for her, which is an insult to both of them.
"Of course not." Huo Jinzhi only hoped that Chen Zhuyi would not have too many negative emotions: "They have wanted to return home for a long time."
Outside, having witnessed the cruelty of countless wars, Su Yunya and Huo's father have used their best abilities to protect their kind, and they are also very tired.
But sometimes it is not convenient for them to come back, and what has happened recently has given them an opportunity to come back.
"Sometimes... good intentions always lead to wrong results." Chen Zhuyi didn't believe it. He supported his head with one hand, and there was a rare hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Don't think too much. Now that you are pregnant, you are the most important in the family. No one is more important than you." All Huo Jinzhi could do was to hold the person in his arms to the best of his ability and show an affirmative expression.
Chen Zhuyi stopped talking and rubbed his belly. For some reason, he was still feeling a little depressed.
Aunt Zhang watched Huo Jinzhi accompany Chen Zhuyi. When she fell asleep again and came out alone, she lowered her voice and reminded him, "Pregnant women are very sensitive and suspicious. The slightest disturbance can affect their mentality."
Huo Jinzhi was naturally aware of these things, but a few words might not be enough to appease Chen Zhuyi. He really turned his ideas into reality and stayed by her side all the time.
"The matter between Mrs. Cai and Zhaodi must be resolved as soon as possible. If we delay, changes will occur, which will be troublesome." Chen Zhu leaned back on the bamboo chair, swaying as he thought of this matter.
Zhaodi is still in the ward and her health hasn't recovered yet. There will be more trouble than ever. I can take this opportunity to ask for a favor.
"Okay, you should cultivate your character these days and stop thinking about other things." Huo Jinzhi advised softly, holding Chen Zhuyi's small hand.
The little face that should have had some flesh on it is now terribly thin and looks even more pitiful.
"When my parents come back and see you like this, I'm afraid they'll be mad to death."
Hearing his tone full of pity, Chen Zhuyi just raised his eyes and smiled, then shook his head gently: "I really can't eat anymore."
Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills are pretty good, and Aunt Wen is also helping out. Aunt Cai doesn’t dare to make any moves, as she is frightened by the fact that she was locked up.
Supplements were brought in like water, and various appetizing dishes were piled in front of Chen Zhuyi, but she just had no appetite.
"Okay." Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi's forced smile and slowly hugged him into his arms.
The two of them snuggled together intimately, with snow falling outside the window, creating a rare scene of peaceful and tranquility.
Old Master Huo came back tonight, wrapped in snow and wind. Huo Qiyun supported the old man and raised his voice a little: "Auntie Zhang!"
The slightest noise woke Huo Jinzhi up. He listened to the familiar footsteps and looked at Chen Zhuyi, who was frowning even when he was sleeping, but he didn't move.
"I'm worried about grandpa too. Let's go and take a look together." Chen Zhuyi couldn't sleep either, so he spoke directly and got up with sleepy eyes.
As her belly grew rounder, many problems she had never thought about before came to her mind. Her hands and feet were a little swollen, and she looked fatter.
After the two of them packed up briefly and walked out, Old Master Huo was scolding Huo Qiyun in a low voice: "You are also asking for death! Your sister-in-law is pregnant, what if she gets scared?"
Huo Qiyun, who had just had a blow to his head, pursed his lips. This man who used to be unscrupulous in front of others seemed a little aggrieved.
"I just said hello. We came back so late, and you haven't had a good meal for a long time. Don't you want to eat something?"
This statement is a bit tempting, but compared with Chen Zhu, it is still nothing to worry about.
"I've endured hunger for so many years, so what's the big deal if I skip one or two meals now?" Old Master Huo was very angry.
"If anything happens to you, we will be worried to death." Chen Zhu said with a smile and walked over quickly.
Mr. Huo was smiling, but when he saw how haggard Chen Zhuyi looked, he was also shocked: "How could he have lost so much weight?"
"Our current situation has nothing to do with you. Even if the Huo family hasn't targeted others in recent years, they've still been targeted by others."
He hurriedly explained and guessed what was on Chen Zhuyi's mind.
Huo Qiyun was doing business abroad, traveling both domestically and internationally, which made him very conspicuous. In addition, Huo Jinzhi married such a good wife, and he achieved great success in Hong Kong.
Although he has retired, he still has some friendships and has dealt with many troubles. It is normal for him to be targeted by some people who want to take the opportunity to counterattack!
"Grandpa." Chen Zhuyi's eyes turned slightly red, and he looked up at the old man.
Old Master Huo was almost worried to death. He stretched out his hand halfway but felt something was wrong and kicked his grandson: "Look at how you take care of people!"
Huo Jinzhi, who had been inexplicably accused, could only silently protest for himself in his heart, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he changed his attitude and coaxed Chen Zhuyi softly.
"Don't worry, our family has finally come to an end of all the hardship."
