[Chapter 263 Cruel Parents]
"For my apprentice's sake, I won't bother with this matter this time. If it happens again, you can handle it yourself."
Others were afraid of Huo Qingyun, but Ni Lu was not. She glared at him with displeasure, without giving him any face.
Huo Qingyun looked unhappy, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and said, "I was just worried about my daughter, and I was impulsive just now. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Ni."
The other party is a medical expert. People who eat all kinds of grains will inevitably get sick. You can offend anyone but Ni Lu. You never know when you will fall into his hands.
Xu Lan naturally understood this truth, and forced a smile, saying in a flattering manner, "My brother-in-law and I have the same feelings. We are both too worried about Huo Nian, so we question him. Please don't take it to heart."
Ni Lu didn't bother to look at them, and turned to Xu Zhengguo and said, "Take us upstairs."
"Okay, this way please."
Led by Xu Zhengguo, Lin Yin and Ni Lu went to the second floor and entered Huo Nian's room.
Seeing them, Huo Nian instantly smiled sweetly, "Sister, you are finally here!"
Lin Yin held her outstretched hand and smiled gently, "Well, sister is here to treat you."
Huo Nian's eyes lit up. "After I'm cured, will I become normal like everyone else? Can I go out and play every day? It's really boring to stay at home every day."
When Huo Nian was in Lancheng, she could go to school and make friends. But after she fell ill and was taken back to the imperial capital, the Huo family, for the sake of her safety, kept her in a greenhouse like a flower and she was no longer allowed to go out at will.
Children of this age love to play. How can they be in a good mood if they are forced to stay at home every day?
Lin Yin's nose felt a little sour, and she gently patted Huo Nian's hand to comfort him, "Nian Nian, cooperate obediently, and you will get better soon. You can go out and play every day in the future, and go wherever you want."
Huo Nian showed an expectant expression, his eyes became brighter, and he nodded repeatedly, "Nian Nian will definitely cooperate!"
But when he saw Lin Yin take out a row of long silver needles, Huo Nian's expression changed. He couldn't help but shrink back and bite his lip in fear, "Sister, this needle is not going to prick me, is it?"
Adults are afraid of acupuncture, let alone children.
Lin Yin touched her head and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
"But I'm still afraid..." Huo Nian was timid, tears came out, and he pulled the corner of Lin Yin's clothes with his little hand, "Sister, can you, can you ask my mother to come and accompany me?"
Lin Yin was disinfecting acupuncture needles. Upon hearing this, she frowned slightly and looked a little hesitant.
I looked up and saw those tearful eyes, my heart softened and I agreed, "Okay, I'll call your brother."
She went to the balcony and expertly dialed the phone number she had memorized.
The call was connected quickly.
She told Huo Jingze about Huo Nian's request.
"Okay, I'll tell my mother."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingze found Xu Yilian who was walking in the garden and called her.
"Mother, Nian Nian is scared. I hope you can go up and accompany her."
Xu Yilian paused, turned back stiffly, and refused after a moment of silence: "Lin Yin needs a quiet environment to treat her illness. It's not appropriate for me to go up, so forget it."
Huo Jingze's face darkened instantly, his eyes full of disbelief and deep disappointment, "Nian Nian is your biological daughter after all. She's so scared now, are you so cruel?"
Xu Yilian's eyes flickered, but her expression remained calm. "I did this to give Lin Yin a quiet environment to treat Huo Nian."
"It's just an excuse." Huo Jingze clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, "She has suffered so much, and you can't even agree to this small request?"
Xu Yilian turned her head away and stopped looking at Huo Jingze. "It's good enough that I can return to China. Don't ask too much of me. I don't owe anyone anything. Do you understand?"
Huo Jingze's voice tightened. "Do you have to let Nian Nian bear the pain of the feud between you and your father? Have you ever thought about how painful it is for a child who has never had motherly love since childhood?"
More than once, whenever Huo Nian saw other mothers caring for their daughters, he would reveal an envious expression, and then fall into deep loss.
She has a mother, but she never received any maternal love.
Huo Nian's pale and pitiful little face appeared in Xu Yilian's mind. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but Huo Nian's existence was proof of pain and shame.
She couldn't be close or affectionate.
"Stop talking about it. When it comes to suffering, no one is less than anyone else."
After saying this, Xu Yilian walked towards another exit of the garden with a cold back.
Huo Jingze turned around with anger and disappointment, and ran into Huo Qingyun who was walking towards him.
"Jingze, regarding the government project I told you about two days ago, Yunshen Group must find a way to get it. I tell you..."
Before Huo Qingyun could finish, Huo Jingze interrupted coldly, "Nian Nian is still receiving treatment, are you still thinking about work?"
Huo Qingyun didn't care and said, "Anyway, with Ni Lu's guidance, what can Nian Nian do?"
Huo Jingze looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with a strong chill, and his clear and even voice was full of sarcasm.
"You two are really more heartless than each other."
Huo Qingyun frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
Huo Jingze ignored him, stepped past him and left.
Being ignored by his son, Huo Qingyun's face turned black and he angrily cursed at Huo Jingze's back.
"Unfilial son, rebellious son!"
…
Huo Nian stared at the door eagerly, but he didn't see his long-missed mother. He probably guessed something and looked away disappointedly.
"Sister, you start." She forced a smile and lay down obediently.
Lin Yin glanced at the door and sighed silently.
She knew that Xu Yilian didn't love Huo Nian, but she didn't expect her to be so cold.
What exactly happened? It is so cruel for a woman to ignore her daughter after ten months of pregnancy.
Lin Yin suppressed her curiosity and disinfected the silver needle and her hands again.
"Be good, Nian Nian, it won't hurt." She comforted him gently.
Huo Nian was really obedient and sensible, and nodded obediently, "If sister says it doesn't hurt, then it definitely doesn't hurt. I believe sister."
