Xu Qingyun and the other two remained silent, waiting for Bai Yunhai to speak.
"Huo Yan, Xiao Yun, you two, one is the eldest son of the Huo family, and the other is now the president of Ye's Group. Only my Chu Chu has suffered too much these past twenty-odd years. Your grandfather gave the Bai family to her, and you both had no objections, right?"
Bai Yunhai was in tears. In the past two days, he had talked to his three children about their past. Apart from Huo Yan, his two granddaughters had really suffered too much. It was heartbreaking for him to hear them.
Huo Yan said with a serious face: "Grandpa, you don't need to say anything. Even if you don't give the Bai family to my sister, I will give the Huo family to her. We were originally twins, but we have lived completely different lives. For the first 27 years, I enjoyed life while my sister suffered. For the rest of my life, my sister will have everything I have. I will do everything I can to give her what I don't have."
Xu Qingyun didn't say much, but her calm tone still revealed her emotion: "I have no objection. My opinion is the same as yours, brother. What I have, you will have too."
Bai Yunhai's eyes filled with tears as he nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good. You three are all good children, unlike other wealthy families who fight to the death for inheritance. Then your grandfather can rest assured."
Xia Chu was unable to speak for a while, only tears kept wetting her cheeks.
Too many things have happened recently, and they have been a huge blow to her. She was pregnant and then lost her child. The change in her identity and background caught her off guard. Her emotions are much more intense than those of Huo Yan and Xu Qingyun.
Finally regaining her composure, Xia Chu shook her head and said, "Grandpa, I don't want anything. Having a home and family is already a blessing from God."
Bai Yunhai sighed, "Silly child, if you don't want to, what will happen to the Bai family after your grandfather passes away? My child, your grandfather knows you've suffered and wants to make it up to you."
"Don't worry, your luck is far from over. With Huo Yan and Xiao Yun by your side, the three of you will support each other and become even luckier."
Xia Chu nodded through her tears. Yes, she would become luckier and luckier.
Once everyone had calmed down, Huo Yan stood up and said, "Grandpa, my sister, Xiaoyun, and I have to leave tomorrow."
Bai Yunhai's pupils contracted, and he immediately looked up: "So fast?!"
Bai Yunhai was reluctant to leave. He was afraid the mansion would be empty. He had gotten used to having his three children around him and didn't want to be alone anymore.
Xia Chu squatted down in front of him, her eyes blurry with tears, but her tone was very gentle, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll come back after my grandfather's birthday celebration."
"Chu Chu has no home. This is Chu Chu's home. Where else can I go if I don't come back here?"
"I will stay here with you from now on, to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
She made up her mind that after divorcing Shen Luo, she would never remarry or fall in love with anyone again.
These words stirred up Bai Yunhai's tears again, and he immediately burst into tears.
Huo Yan put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky, and blinked away his tears.
Xu Qingyun squatted down in front of him, reached out to wipe away the old man's tears, and said softly, "Grandpa, I have a gift for you."
Bai Yunhai asked with his eyes, "What is it?"
Xu Qingyun turned to look at Ji Hanchen, but before she could speak, Ji Hanchen had already taken the photo album out of Xu Qingyun's bag.
This was given to her by Huo Yan; her brother said it would be very useful.
Xu Qingyun felt that her grandfather had always missed her grandmother, and the greatest use of this photo album was to let him recall her grandmother's voice and smile.
When Bai Yunhai saw the photo album, he was struck dumb as if by lightning, and suddenly burst into tears, "Yueyue, my Yueyue, this photo album was taken away by Ye Boyun, and now finally..."
After calming himself down, Bai Yunhai said in a hoarse voice, "This photo album is too precious. With it, I can make ends meet for a while. You guys go, go, go and take care of your business."
**
Before we knew it, it was Mr. Huo's 80th birthday.
The birthday banquet was personally organized by Ji Yaxuan, and it was a very grand affair, costing six million just for the venue setup.
Originally, the Huo family patriarch was supposed to invite the heads of various families and the leaders of major corporations to his 80th birthday celebration, and Bai Yunhai should have been among the invitees.
However, Bai Yunhai did not arrive because the Bai family had just held a funeral.
Huo Yan returned to Haicheng before Xu Qingyun and Xia Chu, while Xu Qingyun and Xia Chu went back to Beijing first to choose a birthday gift for the old man at Guyunfang.
The day of the banquet.
The Huo family mansion was bustling with luxury cars, elegantly dressed people, and lively atmosphere.
Ji Yaxuan wore a dark green evening gown that hugged her well-maintained body. Although she was middle-aged, she had no excess fat on her body because she practiced yoga for many years.
Her hair was piled up high and secured with black hair clips. Apart from an emerald necklace and matching earrings, she wore no other accessories.
Ji Yaxuan gives off a very sophisticated vibe; her simple attire cannot conceal her noble air.
She helped the old man of the Huo family up and said gently with a smile, "Dad, are you satisfied with the banquet arrangements? If not, I'll have someone change them."
Huo Zhenghong chuckled, "At my age, what's there to be satisfied or dissatisfied with?"
Ji Yaxuan retorted, "That won't do. Today is your 80th birthday. You're still so energetic, which means you're sure to live a long life. I have to make you happy."
Hearing this, Huo Zhenghong was even more pleased. "Good, good! You're so thoughtful. Xize and that brat Huo Yan are such ingrates, we haven't seen them anywhere lately."
Ji Yaxuan smiled and said, "Don't blame Huo Yan. He's in love and he's currently pursuing Xu Qingyun."
"That child is indeed an absolute beauty, even surpassing Ye Jianjia back then. No wonder Huo Yan fell for her at first sight."
Upon hearing Xu Qingyun and Ye Jianjia's names, Huo Zhenghong's face immediately darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Nonsense! It's one thing to be ignorant all day long, but now your mind is entirely on matters between men and women."
"Hmph, they don't learn anything good! The father is infatuated with Ye Jianjia, and the son is infatuated with Xu Qingyun!"
Back then, he regarded Fu Yue as his ideal woman, and all three generations of his family were ruined by her!
Ji Yaxuan lowered her eyes, concealing the glint in them. She knew that Huo Zhenghong had loved Fu Yue but could not have her, so he hated her and became her mortal enemy.
When Huo Xize and Ye Jianjia were together, Huo Zhenghong recognized Ye Jianjia as Fu Yue's daughter almost immediately and therefore strongly opposed it.
Huo Xize and Huo Zhenghong had a major falling out over this, and Huo Zhenghong was so angry that he suffered a stroke once.
Later, Huo Xize saw through Ye Jianjia's vain nature, and the relationship between father and son gradually improved.
Now that Huo Yan has fallen for Xu Qingyun, how could Huo Zhenghong not be angry?
This is exactly the effect Ji Yaxuan wanted.
Just then, Huo Yan's laughter came from afar, "Old man, happy birthday! Look what gift I brought you! I guarantee you'll be so happy you'll fly away."
Huo Zhenghong sneered, "What good stuff could you possibly bring, you brat?"
Huo Yan's smile widened. "Of course she's your granddaughter-in-law. Come, meet her."
