"Ms. Huo, your phone is disconnected. The dean asked me to tell you that Mr. Huo is in the hospital."
Ji Shuyu's phone was muted, and only then did she see that there were several incoming calls.
"Okay, I got it." Ji Shuyu called her mother back and then rushed to see her grandfather.
When Ji Shuyu rushed over, several relatives of the Huo family had already arrived.
Whether far away or near, known or unfamiliar, each one acted out their anxiety and sadness to perfection, and the one who performed the most realistically was Huo Yujia.
"Our Miss Huo is really busy!"
Huo Zhengfeng spoke in a sarcastic tone.
At the last family dinner, this damn girl had humiliated him completely by herself, and he would always remember the hatred she felt for him.
Ji Shuyu glanced at him, not understanding the train of thought between him and Huo Yujia, and even less understanding why they kept emphasizing, "Ms. Huo."
Even though she grew up away from home, the Huo family is her home.
"To be honest, it's no wonder that my elder brother and his wife love you so much. It's really rare to find such a filial child." Huo Zhengfeng's words were full of sarcasm.
After Huo Yujia's publicity, everyone knew that the daughter of the Huo family had taken her grandmother, who had raised her, to live with her. Now that the old lady was in the hospital, she did almost everything herself.
Normally, one might praise him by saying that he is not ungrateful, but it is unacceptable that he disappeared when his grandfather fell ill.
"But Xiaoyu, you should also distinguish between near and far." Huo Zhengfeng said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Your grandfather is in the hospital, and you are nowhere to be seen. Yet you are using the Huo family's convenience to support others..."
He guided the public opinion in a nonchalant manner, and everyone immediately started talking about it, openly discussing things like "you can't raise him well" and "he wasn't raised by you anyway".
"My daughter's use of money is my family's own money. When is it someone else's turn to tell me what to do?"
Before Ji Shuyu could speak, a cold voice came.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw Huo Zhengting coming over. They took a breath and lowered their heads, as if they were not the ones who had been talkative just now.
"Dad, Mom." Ji Shuyu stepped forward quickly, "Why is Grandpa sick?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Huo Zhengting comforted her, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his daughter's nose, and then looked coldly at the people opposite.
Everyone immediately held their breath, regretting their words. They all hoped it would just be a minor incident, as the old man was still inside inspecting them.
Lu Qingyi had just heard what Huo Zhengfeng said and was furious.
"When it comes to filial piety, our Xiaoyu is indeed no match for Yujia." Lu Qingyi walked in front of Huo Yujia, and before anyone could react, she slapped them in the face.
Snap——
This shocked everyone.
"The old man is doing an examination inside, and you're crying and making a fuss here. Are you trying to bring bad luck to our family?"
Huo Yujia, who had been performing hard, was already stunned by the slap, and the accusation of "curse" made her even more afraid.
The phrase "my home" clearly distinguishes between inside and outside, and this is a sufficient reason to attack. However, no one can fail to see that this is a slap in the face of Huo Zhengfeng using Huo Yujia.
"Sister-in-law." Huo Zhengfeng was a little angry, but since Huo Zhengting was here, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile and say, "I'm just reminding you..."
"My daughter, is it your turn to remind me?" Lu Qingyi showed no mercy. "Last time at the family dinner, we didn't care about it for Dad's sake, but you seem to think our family is easy to bully."
It was fine to just say a few words as a reminder from an elder to a younger generation, but Lu Qingyi elevated it to the issue of bullying their family, which showed that they didn't want to let it go.
"Sister-in-law." Huo Zhengfeng was a little dissatisfied, "Just because you say that..." That's too harsh!
"Zhengfeng."
Huo Zhengfeng wanted to accuse Lu Qingyi of making a fuss, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Zhengting.
"Don't let something like this happen again, okay?"
Huo Zhengfeng clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head even lower: "Yes, Zhengfeng knows."
Seeing Huo Zhengfeng being suppressed to the point of not daring to breathe, another fence-sitter took the opportunity to step on him: "Second brother, you are wrong. Xiaoyu is a filial child. Didn't she not answer the call before?"
"That's right. There are not many children who can do this nowadays. The old man was even praising Xiaoyu yesterday!"
Everyone was talking at once.
Huo Zhengfeng was filled with frustration, but he couldn't say anything.
"Sorry, brother, I spoke out of turn." Huo Zhengfeng lowered his head. Although he was gritting his teeth, his attitude was indeed humble and sincere.
"Miss Yujia is emotionally unstable. Take her to calm down."
Everyone was shocked when Lu Qingyi said this. Huo Zhengfeng had already apologized, so her punishment of Huo Yujia was tantamount to a slap in his face.
Huo Yujia was "invited" out by two bodyguards.
Huo Zhengfeng gritted his teeth secretly, but at this time Huo Zhengting and his wife had already sat down with their daughter.
Looking at her daughter, Lu Qingyi's eyes turned red, "Are you okay?"
"Of course it's okay." Ji Shuyu rubbed her mother's red palms.
The air conditioner in the corridor was turned up quite high, so Huo Zhengting took off his coat and covered his daughter's legs with it.
"From now on, if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't be polite to him." Huo Zhengting said.
polite?
The last time, this young lady confronted Huo Zhengfeng in front of everyone, leaving him speechless, and beat up Huo Yujia. There were people present who witnessed the whole process from beginning to end.
But no one dared to say anything about all this. At this time, they just wanted to reduce their presence.
Huo Guohong's examination was over quickly, and the old man was found to be fine. However, because he fell ill suddenly, it still alarmed many people, and several older relatives and friends came to visit him.
They were all octogenarians, so the Huo family naturally didn't dare to make any mistakes or neglect them. After the visit, Huo Zhengting and his wife personally sent them off as a sign of respect.
After a whole day of such trouble, Ji Shuyu felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
"Miss Huo, please sign this."
Ji Shuyu came out of the elevator and was about to return to the ward when she was stopped by a doctor.
"Okay." Ji Shuyu followed, "Doctor, my grandma's health..."
Ji Shuyu was halfway through her words when she suddenly felt something was wrong because she smelled a scent of perfume.
No one uses this among the medical staff here.
"Well, my grandma is fine, right?" She sensed something was wrong and tried her best to calm him down, but it was obvious that he also noticed her subtle changes.
"Don't move."
She was about to call for help when something sharp pressed against her waist. It was blood!
"If you're smart, just keep quiet."
It was a soft voice filled with laughter, and it came from a very tall person.
"Because your bodyguard is definitely not as fast as mine."
He said to put more strength on his hands,
Ji Shuyu's body tensed up, and she instantly thought of the model Hua Mei had seen before.
laugh……
"Ms. Huo, you're quite clever!" the male model laughed. "Since you're so clever, guess what I'm going to do to you next?"
