[Chapter 269 Past Events]
Today might be the most embarrassing and worst day in Huo Qingyun’s life in the past few decades.
The two slaps from the Xu family father and daughter shattered his dignity into pieces, and it happened in front of Lin Yin, an outsider, making him lose all face.
He was angry but dared not say anything, let alone look at Huo Jingze's expression.
"I will investigate this matter carefully. If it is really her... who did it, I will give you an explanation."
His attitude and voice were much weaker, and he exuded a sense of guilt.
Lin Yin raised her eyes to look at the man beside her. Huo Jingze lowered his eyes slightly, and his thick eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a while, she heard the man's voice, which was so calm that it was cold.
"She almost killed me back then. What's your explanation?"
Without waiting for Huo Qingyun to speak, Huo Jingze's cold black eyes swept over sharply, and his voice suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Huo Nian and I don't need your explanation. I will personally punish the evildoer."
Huo Qingyun's body trembled, his lips quivered, he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.
Lin Yin felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to be frozen and suffocating.
Huo Jingze no longer looked at Huo Qingyun, turned around and took Lin Yin's hand, "Let's go."
Lin Yin was pulled by him and couldn't help but look back at Huo Qingyun, only to see him standing there in a daze, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
After Huo Jingze walked a distance with Lin Yin, he stopped, took a deep breath, and then looked at Lin Yin, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Lin Yin shook her head slightly and held the man's hand. "Can you tell me what's going on? Who is Ms. Wu?"
Huo Jingze was silent for a moment. Finally, he slowly looked away, his dark eyes fixed on the dark clouds floating in the distance, and his voice sounded indifferently as if without any emotion.
"Decades ago, when my grandfather was still alive, he had a girlfriend without telling his family. Later, they were discovered and my grandfather tried to break up the couple. He stubbornly refused to obey and eloped with the woman. Under my grandfather's instructions, they lived in poverty and had no food to eat. The woman fell seriously ill, and he compromised in order to save her."
"After breaking up with that woman, he was arranged to marry my mother. But after the marriage, my mother found out that he had cheated on her and knew about his past with that woman."
Lin Yin had long known about the scandal of Huo Qingyun having an illegitimate child, and after calming down in the living room, she had guessed a little bit about it.
As she thought, Ms. Wu was the woman that Huo Qingyun kept outside.
She couldn't help but ask: "Then why doesn't your mother get a divorce?"
Huo Jingze sneered, "Because grandpa doesn't agree. If my father dares to divorce my mother, it will make the woman outside live a life worse than death, and it will also ruin my father's career. Support my uncle."
Lin Yin's eyes flickered.
It seems that Mr. Huo is a ruthless person who can even abandon his own son...
"Father didn't want to give up his future, nor did he want to lose that woman. When my grandfather was still alive, he was powerful. Without his consent, the Xu family couldn't leave."
Huo Jingze continued to talk about the grievances between the previous generations with an expressionless face.
"Later, the woman became pregnant and made a scene at my father and mother's wedding anniversary. She even pushed me into the swimming pool when I was less than six years old."
As he said this, he turned around to look at Lin Yin and touched her face, "I almost didn't have the fate to be with you in this life."
Lin Yin held his hand, her eyes sore, "Jingze..."
Her throat seemed to be blocked, and she was so sad that she didn't even know how to comfort him.
Huo Jingze raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, smiling nonchalantly, "Don't be sad, I'm alive and well. Keep listening to this disgusting story."
"My grandfather was ill at the time, and no one cared about them. The matter was left unresolved, and he sent the woman abroad. My mother was completely disappointed and took me abroad with her."
"It wasn't until later... when my grandfather was dying, that she brought me back to China. Only then did I know that the woman had been taken back to China by him a long time ago and was being carefully raised outside. After my grandfather died, my mother filed for a divorce."
Lin Yin asked: "Why can't you leave this time?"
Now that Mr. Huo, the huge mountain pressing down on our heads, is gone, who else can stop us?
Huo Jingze's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said slowly: "He didn't agree to divorce, because he was in the promotion period at that time, and divorce would have a great impact, but his mother had long been disgusted with him, and was determined to divorce, and even wanted to sue."
"In order to avoid a divorce, he tampered with the water she drank and raped her... and took private photos to threaten her."
"A month later, my mother became pregnant with Huo Nian."
After hearing the whole story, Lin Yin fell silent.
I didn't expect that Huo Qingyun, who is in a high position of power, is such a despicable and disgusting person in private.
He drugged his wife, took photos and threatened her...he could really do it.
At first, Lin Yin didn’t understand why Xu Yilian was so repulsive to Huo Nian, and was even unwilling to give him a little bit of maternal love.
Now, she understands.
It’s just that Huo Nian is so pitiful. He has been hated by his mother since he was born.
Lin Yin felt anxious and held his face with both hands, her eyes full of heartache. "You must have felt very miserable during those years..."
Huo Jingze grabbed her soft hand, rubbed it against his cheek, and said calmly, "It's okay."
With just two words, I casually describe the years I spent alone abroad.
Xu Yilian hated the entire Huo family, abandoned everyone and went to the Netherlands alone without taking him.
Later, Wu Qianyun became pregnant again and accused Huo Jingze of pushing her. Huo Qingyun slapped him without knowing the truth. Fearing that he would affect Wu Qianyun's pregnancy, she drove him to Country D.
Later, Wu Qianyun felt that Huo Nian, who had just turned one month old, was crying every day and affecting her pregnancy, so her sister was sent to live with him.
As for why Wu Qianyun was sent abroad again later...
Because the son she gave birth to was a useless bastard.
For long-term considerations, Huo Qingyun decided to focus on training Huo Jingze.
…
The farce finally came to an end.
Huo Jingze held Lin Yin's hand and prepared to go back to the apartment. At the door, he met Xu Lan who was about to get in the car.
"Aunt, have you forgotten what else you have to do?"
Xu Lan paused, turned her head and looked at Huo Jingze, her eyes dodging, pretending not to understand, and said: "Jingze, I don't know what you are talking about."
Huo Jingze frowned, his face darkened, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, "Aunt, you have repeatedly spoken ill of Lin Yin without any reason, and even wanted to hit her. Shouldn't you sincerely apologize to her?"
Xu Lan curled her lips, crossed her arms over her chest, and said reluctantly, "Jingze, I was just worried about Nian Nian, and I was a little anxious and impulsive. You can't blame me for that."
"Impulsive? Even if you are impatient, it can't be a reason for you to hurt others wantonly." Huo Jingze's eyes became more fierce, and his voice became a little higher, with a strong sense of oppression, "Apologize."
Xu Lan was forced by Huo Jingze's momentum. Although she was extremely reluctant, she did not dare to resist. She bit her lip and looked at Lin Yin reluctantly, her voice as small as a mosquito, "I'm sorry."
Lin Yin smiled slightly, looking calm, "I accept your apology."
When Huo Jingze saw Xu Lan apologize, his expression eased a little. He ignored Xu Lan and left the Huo family holding Lin Yin's hand.
The Maybach moved farther and farther away until it shrank into a black dot.
Jiang Yirou stood behind Xu Lan without her knowing, and startled her. "When did you come? You didn't say a word."
“They have a really good relationship.”
Jiang Yirou looked at the empty road in the distance and said this without any context.
