Chapter 171 My Huo family has an heir!
At this moment, those sharp eyes were fixed intently on Su Yue as she walked out of the courtyard.
When his gaze fell on Su Yue's face, which bore a striking resemblance to a figure from his memory, his carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly.
The old man's lips began to tremble, and his hand holding the dragon-headed cane began to shake violently uncontrollably.
Huo Shouxin, who was standing next to him and was Su Yue's uncle, quickly stepped forward to support him and whispered, "Dad, please take care of yourself."
The old man acted as if he hadn't heard.
His entire being was captivated by the slender figure carefully protected behind the tall officer.
picture.
They look so alike.
Those eyebrows, those expressions—they were practically identical to his eldest son, a brilliant talent who died young!
Twenty-three years of longing, twenty-three years of guilt, twenty-three years of regret...
At that moment, everything transformed into a surging tide, shattering all the psychological defenses of this once-powerful business tycoon in Hong Kong.
"It looks...it really looks like it..."
The old man muttered to himself, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.
He pushed away his son, who was supporting him, and took two shaky steps forward.
Those eyes, which had once stirred up countless storms in the business world, were now brimming with murky tears.
He looked at Su Yue as if she were a priceless treasure that had been lost and then found again.
In their eyes were a suppressed excitement, an unspeakable tenderness, and an almost overflowing, thick, inseparable bond between grandfather and grandson.
Everyone present felt the overwhelming emotion that was surging through them.
Su Yue stood there, looking at the unfamiliar yet incredibly kind old man, and seeing the tears welling up in his eyes, her heart clenched.
She knew that this was her biological grandfather.
He is his father's father.
He is one of the people in the world who are closest to her by blood.
She opened her mouth, but the word "Grandpa" stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it out.
Gu Beichen noticed her stiffness and quietly pulled her closer to him, giving her the strongest support with his body heat.
Grandpa Huo just stared at her, tears silently streaming down his wrinkled face.
He wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth stretched into a smile that looked even uglier than crying.
He wanted to speak, but his throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, and he couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, all the words were reduced to a trembling cry filled with endless vicissitudes and heartache.
"child……"
"You...you've suffered..."
That phrase, "Child...you have suffered," carrying endless vicissitudes and heartache, was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples at the entrance of the Gu family compound.
The neighbors who had been craning their necks to watch the commotion immediately fell silent.
They glanced at the impressive black cars, then at the group of bodyguards in black suits, and finally their eyes fell on the white-haired, tearful old man.
What kind of show is this?
Reuniting with relatives?
Or are they here to cause trouble?
Su Yue stood there, her heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
More than twenty years of loneliness, more than twenty years of grievances, more than twenty years of longing... at this moment, all of it turned into a surging sour feeling that rushed straight to my nose.
She always thought she was strong enough.
She can confront her stepmother's scheming, fight back against Zhang Sisi's plot, and coldly watch Zhou Hong bring shame upon herself.
But when this blood relative looked at her with such heart-wrenching eyes, all the psychological defenses she had painstakingly built collapsed in an instant.
Gu Beichen felt the slight trembling of the person in his arms. He tightened his arms and silently transmitted strength with his body heat.
With Huo Shouxin's support, Old Master Huo walked towards her step by step, trembling.
Every step was incredibly difficult, as if it spanned a long period of twenty-three years.
He stopped in front of Su Yue, tears streaming down his cloudy old eyes.
His mouth was open, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. Only suppressed, caged sobs squeezed out of his throat.
Su Yue looked at him, at his gray hair, at the deep wrinkles on his face, and at his eyes filled with regret and tenderness.
She couldn't hold back any longer.
She gently broke free from Gu Beichen's embrace, took a step forward, and reached out her trembling hand to support Old Master Huo's shaking arm.
Her voice was soft, with a heavy nasal tone, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"grandfather."
A cry of "Grandpa".
These two words were like opening a floodgate.
Grandpa Huo could no longer hold back. He grabbed Su Yue's hand tightly, as if he had grasped a lost treasure, and burst into tears, like a helpless child.
"Oh! Oh! My good child!"
"It's Grandpa's fault! It's Grandpa's fault for being useless!"
"Grandpa is so sorry for your father!"
He cried his heart out, and his repeated apologies struck the hearts of everyone present.
The men of the Gu family had incredibly complex expressions on their faces as they watched this scene.
As the head of the family, Gu Zhengfeng was the first to react.
This is a military compound, a place with many people and eyes, not a place to talk.
He stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Old Master Huo, "Old Master Huo, it's windy outside. Let's go inside and talk."
Huo Shouxin quickly advised, "Dad, let's go inside first. Yueyue is still pregnant and shouldn't stand outside for too long."
Upon hearing the words "pregnant," Old Master Huo's crying stopped abruptly.
He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Su Yue's stomach, his lips trembling: "You...you're pregnant?"
Su Yue nodded gently.
“They’re twins,” Gu Beichen added from the side, his voice filled with unmistakable pride.
"Twins...twins!"
Grandpa Huo seemed to be hit by a huge surprise. He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile that was more like a grimace spread across his face.
"Good! Good! My Huo family has an heir! The bloodline of Shouzheng... continues!"
He carefully touched Su Yue's hand with his still trembling hands, then quickly withdrew them, as if afraid of damaging some rare treasure.
"Quick! Come inside! Come inside and sit down!"
Amidst the shocked, curious, and inquisitive gazes of the surrounding neighbors, the group marched into the Gu family compound in a grand procession.
In the living room, the two families, both influential in their respective fields, finally sat down together.
The atmosphere was subtly heavy.
Grandpa Huo sat in the main seat surrounded by everyone, but his eyes never left Su Yue from beginning to end.
He scrutinized Su Yue's features closely, as if trying to make up for all the time he had missed in the past twenty-three years.
"So alike, so very alike..." he murmured to himself, his eyes reddening again.
