When Huo An received the news, he was resting at home. In previous years, his house would have been bustling with activity at this time.
This year, he was suddenly all alone, and felt very lonely.
Wherever he went, he could be reminded of the departed Madam Huo, Xu Que, and Huo Yunzhen by familiar objects.
Especially when it comes to Huo Yunzhen, every time he thinks of her, his heart aches as if it's about to break.
Accidental car accident?
He desperately hoped that someone had tampered with the car.
The car was so badly burned that almost no evidence was left.
He had the car brought back and checked all the surveillance footage from the roads and parking lots between the time of the accident and the incident, but found no evidence that anyone had tampered with the car.
He even suspected that someone had hacked into the car's smart control panel system.
The investigation revealed no trace of intrusion in the cloud management system; instead, it showed that human intervention occurred two seconds before the accident.
This is the point that both the insurance company and the accident handling center agree: Huo Yunzhen's improper operation caused the car accident.
Huo An did not believe the investigation results and focused his suspicions on Huo Qizhen and Huo Tingzhen.
Although investigators told him that Fok Kai-chun was even more surprised by the car accident than he was, he didn't believe it at all.
In Huo Qizhen's living room, a blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man handed Huo Qizhen a document. "Mr. Huo An suspects that you are involved in Huo Yunzhen's car accident, and he is secretly searching for evidence."
Uncle Li was so angry his face turned pale. "This old man is really incredibly muddle-headed."
Huo Qizhen said, "I should thank him for not calling the police directly and having them investigate me."
Uncle Li, "How could the board of directors possibly agree to let the police investigate you? Once this news gets out, no matter what the truth is, it will cause huge losses to the company's stock price. The old man knows this very well, which is why he hasn't called the police."
It's said that if there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather, but Huo An's actions are even worse than a stepfather's.
Uncle Li said, "I really want to tell my second great-grandfather and the others what he did, so they can see how absurd it is."
Li Bo was unaware of many of the things Huo An had done to Huo Qizhen and Huo Tingzhen, and Huo Qizhen had never told him either. He was simply angry that Huo An had shown favoritism.
Uncle Li, "He is clearly dissatisfied with you and secretly suspects that you are the murderer who hurt Huo Yunzhen, but on the surface he pretends to care about you and wants to help you choose a virtuous wife for marriage."
Huo Qizhen felt that Huo An's purpose in seeking out Kuang Xin was not limited to this.
It just can't be found out yet.
"Never mind, after the New Year we'll have him removed from his post and sent abroad for recuperation."
Once the person is sent away, they can't cause trouble, and Kwong Sum won't be able to stir up any waves.
Uncle Li strongly agreed.
Huo Qizhen: "Has he not visited Xu Que in the hospital?"
Uncle Li shook his head, "It's strange, the old man has never been there even once."
Not even once?
Uncle Li said, "He's probably angry! After all, the old lady's death is inextricably linked to Xu Que."
Huo Qizhen: "Now that all five members of the Xu family are inside, what will his reaction be when he finds out?"
Uncle Li said, "I heard that when the old man found out, he didn't react at all. Only after Mr. Xu was sent to the orthopedics department for treatment did the old man send someone to keep watch over him, to prevent the debt collectors from attacking him again."
Huo Qizhen: "Didn't my dad offer to help pay off the debts this time?"
Uncle Li said, "The old housekeeper said that the old man was quite angry about Master Xu's gambling behavior."
Huo Qizhen: "So you're planning to help."
Uncle Li nodded, "What you mean is to delay your actions and teach Master Xu a lesson so he'll remember it."
"This son-in-law is really doing his best!"
Huo Qizhen looked sarcastic, saying that Huo An had never been so concerned about his former father-in-law's family.
What is Jian Yu doing?
"It's snowing. We were just building a snowman in the yard."
Are you dressed warmly enough?
"They're dressed warmly enough. I just went to check, and they're all bundled up in thick clothes, including thick hats, scarves, and waterproof gloves. They definitely won't catch a cold."
With the help of the servants, Jian Yu built a snowman as tall as a person.
Jian Yu stood at a distance, looking for the right angle to take a picture.
Anke called via video.
After Jian Yu answered the call, she immediately noticed that the environment behind her was the backstage area of a performance.
"I have a live broadcast tonight, and this is my first event at the new company."
The company clearly values its first event being such a large-scale program.
Jian Yu nodded.
An Ke hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Jian Yu, can I come to your house to celebrate the New Year after my performance?"
Where is Huo Shanzhen?
"He's going to the Huo family's old residence to spend New Year's Eve with his relatives."
"I'm sorry, I'm also going to the Huo family's old residence."
Anke's expression was slightly unnatural. "Really?"
That's so enviable.
The two exchanged a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.
Just as Jian Yu hung up, he was about to take a picture of the snowman.
Huo Qizhen's video call also arrived.
Jian Yu smiled; taking a picture of the snowman was indeed a bit difficult.
"Is the snowman finished?"
"It's stacked up."
Turn the camera around and point it at the snowman.
Huo Qizhen chimed in with a couple of compliments, "Not bad."
"I think it's good too."
"Play a little longer, we'll go to the old house in an hour."
"good."
Huo Qizhen wanted to chat a little longer, but he could tell that Jian Yu was a bit impatient, so he had to hang up the video call and let her go have some fun.
Jian Yu pointed the camera at the snowman for the third time, but still couldn't press the record button.
A phone number without a contact name called.
Jian Yu recognized the number; it was Yu Cheng's secondary SIM card phone number.
Because the main card was blacklisted by Jianyu.
Jian Yu pressed the hang-up button directly.
The other party seemed to have been prepared; immediately after the call was disconnected, a text message followed.
I hope Jian Yu will come back to the Yu family home for the New Year.
Jianyu didn't respond.
Half an hour later, Yu Ting drove her car and blocked the entrance to Jian Yu's house.
Yu Zhentian was also sitting in the car.
Jian Yu didn't even let them in the door, saying, "Seeing you all during the New Year is really bad luck."
Yu Zhentian and Yu Ting's faces twisted in anger. "Don't go too far. We've already given you a way out, but you're still being aggressive. Do you really not want to go home?"
Jian Yu laughed in anger, "It's you who have come to my house and bothered me time and time again, not me begging you to let me go back."
Yu Ting, “Don’t forget your surname is Yu. Your parents and elders are still alive. You abandon your parents and family because of a small conflict. What will others think of you for such a cold-hearted act? Do you still want to marry into the Huo family? Do you think the Huo family would marry a woman who doesn’t acknowledge her parents?”
Jian Yu: "So, you're doing this for my own good?"
Yu Ting: "Of course."
Jian Yu said, "Then I should thank you."
Yu Ting said, "No need to thank me. Pack your things and go back to stay for a few days. If you're used to living here, you can also have your grandpa and grandma move in."
Jian Yu looked Yu Ting up and down as if she were a monster, and couldn't help but laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Jian Yu glanced at Yu Zhentian, "Did you bring any nitroglycerin pills?"
Yu Ting said, "Your grandfather is old and always carries nitroglycerin pills with him."
Yu Zhentian had a feeling that Jian Yu's words had a hidden meaning. "What are you trying to say?"
Jian Yu said, "I want someone to acquire Yu Cheng's company, so you won't keep thinking about getting the Huo family to help him."
"you......"
Jian Yu pointed at Yu Ting, "And while we're at it, we'll acquire your company too."
Yu Ting, “…”
Yu Zhentian: "Huo Qizhen didn't know you could be so heartless, did he?"
The implication was that he intended to use Huo Qizhen to threaten Jian Yu.
Jian Yu: "Do you think he didn't know?"
Yu Zhentian said, "It was wrong of your mother to hurt you before; she has already been punished."
"Punishment? Is punishment enough? If we hadn't found the evidence, I would have been arrested as the murderer and probably wouldn't have survived. I'm really curious, how could you act like nothing happened and still come looking for me to come back?"
How could Yu Zhentian not know how much resentment Jian Yu harbored? His past actions were not much better than Qi Yuexi's.
"Parents are never wrong. She is, after all, your mother. She gave birth to you, so you will always owe her."
