After the game ended, the assistant put away his phone, feeling bored, and started chatting with the maid, "Old Madam Huo has passed away. Isn't Madam her daughter-in-law? Why didn't you attend the funeral?"
Maid, "Shh!"
The assistant lowered her voice, "What's going on?"
The maid glanced at Xu Que, making sure she was asleep, and said, "Let's talk in my room."
The assistant instantly realized there was big gossip going on and immediately got up to follow.
As soon as the door closed, the maid said, "Madam doesn't dare to go back because she angered her mother-in-law to death, and she's afraid those relatives will come after her."
"..." the assistant asked, "Her arm?"
The maid nodded.
The assistant exclaimed with sudden realization, "No wonder!"
"But there's no escaping it afterward! Besides, Manager Huo's funeral arrangements need to be made."
When Huo Yunzhen was mentioned, the maid shook her head, "It won't be that quick. At least an autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death."
The assistant was puzzled. "It's just a car accident death, isn't it?"
The maid said, "You don't understand. The whole car was burned, and we can't find any useful clues. Since we can't analyze the cause based on the car, we can only put all our hopes on the autopsy. The autopsy can find out if he was driving under the influence of alcohol or other physical conditions."
The assistant firmly believed that the problem was either with the car's intelligent control board or due to Huo Yunzhen's operational error.
"Why?"
"When Manager Huo left the company, he was in high spirits and did not drink alcohol or eat anything he shouldn't have."
Even after Madam Huo passed away, how could he still be so spirited?
The servant felt a surge of contempt; no wonder the old lady was dissatisfied with him.
This person is too lazy to even bother with superficial formalities.
The assistant also felt genuinely sorry for Huo Yunzhen. Such a handsome and wealthy young master from a prominent family passed away unexpectedly before even getting married.
No parent could stand that.
"Actually, it's not surprising that Madam fainted."
The maid knew perfectly well why Xu Que had fainted, but she couldn't say it. She could only nod and say, "That's right. This is her only child. It's all thanks to this child that she was able to rise to power. Otherwise, how could she have entered the Huo family?"
The assistant was unaware that Xu Que had risen to power through a mistress's marriage; she had always assumed that Huo Yunzhen was younger than Huo Qizhen and Huo Tingzhen.
Huo Yunzhen is the son of Huo An and Xu Que, born after Huo An's first wife passed away.
I never expected it to be so melodramatic.
The maid thought the assistant must have something wrong with his eyes. Huo Yunzhen clearly looked older than Huo Qizhen, let alone Huo Tingzhen, who was two years younger.
The assistant said, "They've been married for over twenty years, their feelings for each other are undeniable, and I guess things will be fine after this period."
The maid readily agreed with the assistant, "Yes, yes, we should hide as long as we can. Maybe we'll find a way. Otherwise, if we go back now, Madam might be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
"Aren't you exaggerating?"
This is a society governed by law, how could anyone dare to do such a thing?
The maid said, "Anyway, now that Young Master Huo Yunzhen is gone, just because she angered Old Madam Huo to death, those clansmen will definitely not show any mercy."
That's possible, especially since the heir to the Fok family conglomerate is Fok Kai-chun.
"I heard that President Huo and Manager Tingzhen have a very good relationship with Madam Huo."
"Yes! The wife and son are insanely jealous."
Jealousy will inevitably lead to doing outrageous things.
There will definitely be conflicts.
The assistant was uncertain; it was hard to say what Xu Que would do this time.
The assistant concluded, "So, it's all because of jealousy."
The maid added, "And greed."
He harbored inappropriate thoughts and did all sorts of outrageous things.
They deserved this fate.
In front of the assistant, the maid couldn't say that Xu Que and her son deserved it, so she could only change the subject, saying, "Perhaps it's all predestined. Madam just angered her mother-in-law to death, and now her own son is in trouble too."
The assistant asked, "If we don't let Madam go to the funeral hall, won't she cause trouble once she's sober?"
Xu Que will definitely cause trouble for Huo Yunzhen.
Xu Que didn't dare to cause any trouble with Madam Huo.
As the assistant returned to her room to rest, she kept wondering what Xu Que could do to avoid it.
When the takeout arrived at the apartment, Anke was still asleep, but her nostrils twitched as soon as she smelled the aroma.
I woke up a little while later because I was craving food.
Anke hadn't had a decent meal in a long time, and the aroma in her dream made her mouth water.
When she felt her cheeks getting wetter and wetter, she sat up in a daze and touched her pillow, which was soaked with saliva.
I sniffed, it smells so good!
Jian Yu didn't laugh at her; instead, she felt a pang of sadness as she recalled the days when she went hungry.
"Get up and eat!"
Upon hearing Jian Yu's voice, An Ke turned her head and saw the table full of food, unable to resist swallowing her saliva.
He put on his coat, ran over, picked up a piece of braised pork, and swallowed it whole.
Fearing she might choke, Jian Yu quickly brought her the rice porridge.
Anke took it, but didn't drink it. Instead, she picked up a piece of braised pork.
Urged on by Jian Yu, An Ke insisted on eating five pieces before washing her hands.
Jian Yu felt a bit cold, so she pulled the electric heater closer.
Anke was washing her hands when her stomach started growling.
Ignoring the embarrassment, I quickly washed my hands and began to feast.
Are you feeling better?
Jian Yu pulled his coat tighter. "It seems he has a fever again."
Anke gestured for Jian Yu to quickly take her temperature.
Jian Yu had just shivered a few times; without even taking her temperature, she knew her fever, which had just subsided, was starting to return.
"These next few days, just eat whatever you want, don't be too careful."
Anke's spirits lifted. "You mean there's been progress on your end? You contacted your person?"
Jianyu told her not to ask.
Anke immediately said she would behave.
"Do you remember what you promised me?"
Jian Yu nodded.
Anke smiled and said, "That's good."
Jian Yu didn't have a big appetite; she ate a couple of bites and then went to sleep.
Anke ate and drank to her heart's content, and soon her belly was round and full.
Anke wanted to play on her phone for a while, but when she picked it up, she found that the screen couldn't be unlocked.
Facial recognition, fingerprints, and digital passwords are all ineffective.
Anke was in a panic, fiddling with the computer repeatedly, trying to shut it down and causing it to freeze.
It was quite a while before I realized that it was Jian Yu who did it.
An Ke dared not object, and proactively fully charged the phone before placing it back next to Jian Yu.
I also helped adjust the position of the electric heater to make sure Jian Yu could sleep comfortably.
The next day, when the assistant went to check on Xu Que, she was sleeping. Since everything was fine, the assistant went back to her room to play games.
At other times, it was the servants who took care of Xu Que.
By the time the assistant realized something was wrong with Xu Que, she had already gone mad, tilting her head and drooling, "Hehehe..."
The assistant thought, "...would going crazy be the only way to avoid this?"
When Huo An received the call from his assistant, he was under pressure, arguing his case for Xu Que.
"What did you say? What do you mean by 'mentally unstable'?"
The assistant said, "Madam can't bear Manager Huo's passing; she's become mentally unstable, and it seems like..."
"Like what?"
"This is insane!"
Huo An was stunned for a moment, "Then why don't we hurry up and send him to Yan's Hospital?"
Second Master Huo said, "Why send him to Yan's Hospital? Since he's gone mad, he should be sent to a mental hospital."
Huo An knew what a mental hospital was like, so he naturally didn't want to send people there.
"Let's send him to Yan's Hospital. It's a good place. We should treat him first."
"It's a waste of time. I think she's probably faking it."
The clansmen nodded in agreement, "I also think it's an act."
Huo Qizhen said, "Either send her to a mental hospital for treatment, or admit that she's faking it."
Huo An pointed at Huo Qizhen, "How could you be so heartless? Your Aunt Xu has always treated you well. She just lost her child, and you send her to a mental hospital. What are you up to?"
