Chapter 39 Orphan
The atmosphere outside the room was as depressing as the eve of a storm, and the air seemed to have frozen.
Xing Sujie was extremely anxious, her eyes were red, and her voice was filled with anxiety and earnestness. She looked straight at Grandpa Huo and said, "Dad, Yan Bin is also your grandson, and you watched him grow up. Do you want Yang Mian to ruin him?" Her words were full of protection for her son, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.
Mr. Huo was speechless after being asked this question, and the expression on his face was complicated and difficult to read.
He pursed his lips tightly, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes wandered, because he really didn't know how confident Yang Mian was. The fear of the unknown made him speechless for a moment, and he could only remain silent.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Xing Sujie became more anxious. She turned around abruptly, walked a few steps to the door, raised her hand and knocked hard on the door, shouting, "Yang Mian, come out!" The knocking sound was particularly loud in the silent space, again and again, making people panic.
After a while, the door slowly opened, and Yang Mian walked out leisurely with a leisurely pace, followed by Huo Yanbin.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him, and when they saw Huo Yanbin able to get out of bed and walk around, they instantly became excited.
Xing Sujie's reaction was even stronger. Her eyes suddenly widened into a circle. A look of disbelief first flashed across her face, and then was replaced by ecstasy. She kept muttering, "Yanbin, you can get out of bed? That's great. God bless you, thank God." As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and wanted to hold Huo Yanbin's hand, her eyes full of concern and relief.
Huo Yanbin gently avoided his mother's hand and said calmly: "It was my junior sister Yang Mian who saved me." The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
Xing Sujie's smile froze on her face in an instant, her expression turned awkward, and her face turned pale and blue. She never thought that Yang Mian could really cure her son's strange disease that had tormented him for so long.
In her heart, she had always thought that Yang Mian was just an ignorant little girl who didn't take her words seriously at all. Now that she was slapped in the face, she felt unwilling and annoyed.
"Yanbin, how do you feel now?" Old Master Huo's voice was trembling with excitement. He walked forward quickly, held Huo Yanbin's hands tightly with both hands, tears flashing in his eyes.
He had devoted more than ten years of hard work to nurture this grandson. Looking at him lying weakly on the hospital bed, Grandpa Huo felt so heartbroken that he wished he could bear all the pain for him.
Huo Yanbin gently patted his grandfather's hand and said firmly: "Grandpa, I'm completely fine now."
"Really?" Mr. Huo's voice trembled a little, his eyes full of anticipation and surprise, as if he couldn't believe this sudden good news. After receiving a positive answer, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. His hands were shaking slightly and he kept repeating: "That's great, that's great..."
Xing Sujie's eyes rolled around, she thought quickly in her mind, and then she couldn't wait to say: "Dad, since Yan Bin is well, then the identity of the Huo family's heir is still Yan Bin, right!?" At this moment, what she cared about most was whether her son could keep his position as the heir to the Huo family, which was the key to endless wealth and power.
Mr. Huo looked embarrassed and conflicted. He sighed slowly and scanned everyone's faces one by one.
Huo Yanshen is also his grandson, and he loves him dearly, but deep down in his heart, he prefers Huo Yanbin, whom he raised. This puts him in a dilemma, and he doesn't know how to answer for a moment.
At this moment, Huo Yanbin unexpectedly said: "No need, the identity of the heir should be given to Huo Yanshen." As soon as these words came out, it was as if a bomb exploded in the room. Everyone was stunned and there was silence for a while.
Xing Sujie jumped up instantly as if her tail was stepped on, and screamed: "Are you crazy? The identity of the heir is given to this illegitimate child." Her voice was sharp and piercing, and her face was full of anger and disbelief. In her heart, this position belonged to her son.
"He is not an illegitimate child. Huo Yanshen is the only bloodline of the Huo family." Huo Yanbin said calmly and slowly.
This sentence stunned all the members of the Huo family present. They looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Huo Yanbin meant. Huo Zhentian frowned and asked in confusion, "Yan Bin, why don't I understand what you said? What do you mean Huo Yanshen is the only bloodline of the Huo family?"
At this time, Yang Mian took a step forward and broke the silence with a clear voice: "You don't understand this. My senior brother means that he is not your son, do you understand?" Her eyes were like torches, looking straight at Xing Sujie, with a sharp look that could see through everything.
It turned out that Yang Mian had already seen from the faces of Xing Sujie and Huo Yanbin that they were not mother and son, and Huo Yanbin was not a member of the Huo family.
When Xing Sujie heard this, her heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm and shouted in a timid voice, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little girl?" Although her voice was still tough, there was a hint of panic and guilt in her eyes.
"She's not talking nonsense. I'm not from the Huo family. To be precise, you brought me back from the orphanage to share the family fortune." Huo Yanbin took a deep breath and finally spoke out the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that he was an orphan and was brought back from the orphanage by Xing Sujie, but he did not expose it because the Huo family was wealthy and powerful, and he thought that he might be able to rise to prominence and live a good life in the Huo family.
But now, he didn't dare to ask for anything from the Huo family anymore.
He knew his protective junior sister Yang Mian too well. She was not someone to be trifled with. If she knew the truth, she would definitely ask for an explanation for Huo Yanshen.
Instead of waiting for her to take action, it is better to confess first, and also to look good in front of your junior sister.
He knew Yang Mian's character best. She couldn't stand any loss. Anyone who provoked her would suffer a miserable end.
Sometimes she didn't take revenge on the spot, not because she was afraid, but because she was holding back on being mean and wanted to make the person who pissed her off pay the price. In short, she would never let her suffer, otherwise there would be a heavy price to pay.
Old Master Huo almost had a heart attack because the grandson he raised was actually brought back from an orphanage to share the family property.
Mr. Huo stamped his cane. "Great! Very good, Xing Sujie. You actually played these tricks right under my nose."
Xing Sujie was still making her last struggle. "No, Dad, I didn't. You have to believe me!"
Huo Zhentian was also very angry. "Xing Sujie, you are going too far. I want to divorce you."
