Bao Yanbai glanced at Huo Qizhen and, seeing that his emotions hadn't changed much, dared to reply, "It's good that you're not affected."
Jian Yu lowered her eyes slightly. "I knew that many years ago, so I have no plans to get married."
These words were also meant for Huo Qizhen, because she liked him and wanted to be with him.
As for anything else, she couldn't give it to him.
Jian Yu's words were also giving Huo Qizhen a reason to withdraw, since marriage would cause some trouble given her health condition.
Huo Qizhen naturally understood Jian Yu's unspoken words and went up to grab Jian Yu's hand, "Don't think too much about it, there's nothing wrong with it this way."
Jian Yu wanted to ask him if he cared.
But then I felt it was somewhat unnecessary.
He thought she didn't know, so choosing to keep it from her meant he had thought things through very clearly.
Jian Yu turned his hand around, his five fingers tightly clasped with Huo Qizhen's, then looked into his eyes and smiled.
Bao Yanbai's gaze flickered, and he sent Huo Tingzhen a message: "Does your brother really not care? The Huo Group is such a huge conglomerate, don't they need an heir?"
Huo Tingzhen glanced at the phone, then put it away without replying.
Bao Yanbai dared not ask any further questions.
Just as he put his phone away, Huo Qizhen glanced at him and asked, "When are you two planning to get married?"
"Cough cough---"
Huo Tingzhen was startled by this question. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Bao Yanbai: "I would be very happy to settle down and start a family soon."
Huo Tingzhen rolled her eyes at him. "Dream on."
Bao Yanbai deliberately put on a very disappointed expression, "Big brother?"
Huo Tingzhen immediately pointed at him, "What did you call 'Big Brother'?"
Bao Yanbai, "Big Brother?"
Kenneth Fok said, "If there are no conflicts, get married soon."
Huo Tingzhen glanced at Jian Yu and said, "You're not even married yet, why are you urging me to get married?"
Huo Qizhen said, "If you get married soon and have a child soon, the Huo family will have an heir."
With the passing of Madam Fok, Kenneth Fok is now the new head of the Fok family business and has the right to choose a new successor.
Huo Qizhen's words shocked the other three.
Bao Yanbai's lips moved, but he ultimately looked at Huo Tingzhen and said nothing.
Huo Tingzhen always thought that Huo Qizhen would try his best to help Jian Yu get treatment, but he never expected that Jian Yu had already made up his mind to never have children in this life.
Huo Tingzhen rubbed her arms awkwardly. "You wish! Childbirth is so painful, I don't want to."
He glanced at Jian Yu, whose eyes were somewhat unfocused, clearly lost in thought. "If you want an heir, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."
Jian Yu then came to his senses, "That's still a long way off."
That effectively ended the conversation.
Huo Qizhen frowned, but didn't say anything more.
She simply gripped Jian Yu's hand even tighter.
Jian Yu felt some pain, but didn't say anything. Instead, she changed the subject, "The funeral is over. Your dad should go see Xu Que now, right?"
When talking about Xu Que, one cannot help but mention the Xu family.
Ever since Xu's father had the idea of taking money to send Xu Zi'an to keep Xu Que and Xu Niannian company, Xu Zi'an no longer trusted him. Xu's mother even demanded that he hand over the money he had taken. Xu's father was so desperate that he ran away from home and went to stay with his mistress.
This infuriated Grandma Xu and the others.
Seeing this, Xu's mother officially broke off all pretense of civility and demanded a share of the money from Xu's father.
In the end, the two sides got into a physical fight, and Xu's father still didn't take out the money.
Grandma Xu felt sorry for Xu Zi'an, and with her help, she went to find Xu's father herself, only to find out that more than half of the 100 million yuan had been transferred to his mistress.
Xu Zi'an took his mother straight to the court and filed a lawsuit against the other party to demand repayment.
Mr. Xu quickly ran over to beg for forgiveness, hoping that Xu Zi'an and his mother would withdraw their lawsuit.
The two sides clashed again outside the courthouse.
Actually, this time it was Xu Zi'an who controlled Xu's father's actions, while Xu's mother was giving him one-sided instructions.
Xu's father soon had a bruised and swollen face.
When Grandma Xu saw Xu's father's miserable state, she felt sorry for her son again and tried to persuade Xu Zi'an to reconcile.
Xu Zian disagreed, and the two argued for a while before being separated by staff.
At this moment, the Xu family members were still at the courthouse and had not yet left, so they did not have time to attend the funeral.
Huo An was very dissatisfied with this.
Everyone assumed that Huo An would go to the hospital to see Xu Que as soon as the funeral ended.
As a result, he went home and went into his study, and didn't come out.
Huo Shanzhen frantically called An Ke, but when he couldn't reach her, he gave the housekeeper a thorough dressing-down.
He straightened his tie and went to Jian Yu's house to knock on the door.
Jian Yu didn't let him in, but asked the gatekeeper to tell him that An Ke had already left her house.
Huo Shanzhen started calling Huo Qizhen again, asking him to find out where Jian Yu'an had gone.
Huo Qizhen: "They blocked you because they don't want to have any more contact with you. Have some manners and don't keep pestering them."
Huo Shanzhen: "Where did I pester her? We agreed that I would come to pick her up after the funeral."
Huo Qizhen: "You have to allow others to change their minds; she might not want to date you anymore."
Huo Shanzhen was puzzled. "Why? It was Second Grandfather and the others who wouldn't let An Ke pay her respects this morning. It's not that I didn't want to take her with me. I also told the housekeeper to take care of her. If she wasn't happy, she could have gone back to Jian Yu's house and waited for me! Besides, we just chatted on WeChat and she was perfectly fine."
Huo Qizhen: "Are you sure she was acting nice to you just now?"
Huo Shanzhen: "Of course. She just hinted that I should buy her a diamond bracelet to match the diamond necklace Jian Yu gave her. There's no way she would block me and cut off all contact."
Huo Qizhen: "You promised to buy her a bracelet?"
Huo Shanzhen paused for a moment, then said, "I promised to take her shopping at the mall."
Huo Qizhen: "Just because you didn't agree to give her the bracelet, she felt she couldn't get anything out of you, so she chose to stay away from you."
Huo Shanzhen said, "Impossible. If she didn't have a bracelet, why would she ask me for anything else? I heard from others that when she first appeared yesterday, her clothes were almost like those from a street stall. Uncle Li also said that everything she wore later, even the bag she carried, was a gift from Jian Yu."
He was, after all, the son of the Huo family conglomerate, rich and powerful. Unless An Ke had lost her mind, she would never give up on him, this golden bachelor.
Huo Qizhen: "That means she found someone with better conditions than you."
Huo Shanzhen was even more skeptical. "With a young and handsome guy like me here, how could she be so blind as to go looking for those old and ugly men?"
This person is quite narcissistic.
Huo Qizhen poured cold water on him, saying, "Many young and handsome scions of prominent families have come today. You are not the one with the best personal qualities."
Huo Shanzhen, however, was inexplicably confident: "I don't believe anyone can attract An Ke more than me, nor do I believe those young people would dare to steal my girl?"
