The moment Huo Shiqian saw Su Yimo, he immediately took two steps forward, blocking Qiao Wanwan's path and looking at her warily, "What do you want to do?"
Su Yimo was wearing a loose hospital gown, her face was pale, and she looked frail. At this moment, she was so aggrieved that she kept crying, making her look even more pitiful.
"Brother...Young Master Huo, I just wanted to come see Grandpa...to see Old Master Su."
Zhan Jingting wasn't going to waste his time arguing with this kind of person. He pushed the stroller with one hand and held Qiao Wanwan's hand with the other, then went downstairs in the elevator.
"My grandfather is fine, please leave," Huo Shiqian said coldly and distantly.
Su Yimo's tears flowed even more fiercely, but she still obediently nodded, "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore..."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
"MoMo." Old Master Huo couldn't bear it and called out to her, "Why didn't you accept the check I gave you?"
Su Yimo stopped and turned to look at him, a slight smile playing on her lips. She said, "I don't want to use money to sever my more than twenty years of relationship with the Huo family, even though that relationship means nothing to you..."
"That's not how it is," Old Master Huo explained. "I just think that this money can make your life a little better in the future, not that it's meant to buy off our relationship. Our relationship can't be bought off with money, and the affection you showed me by saving me can't be measured by money either. So please don't get stuck on this idea, understand?"
Su Yimo nodded through her tears, "I understand, thank you."
"No matter where you go, we hope you live well. Please accept the money," Old Master Huo advised. "What I said before still stands. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can come to the Huo family."
Su Yimo was extremely grateful, "Thank you..."
......
The Rolls-Royce drove in front, followed closely by the Huo family's car.
The third child was sitting in his car seat, and was unusually clingy today, holding Zhan Jingting's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but feel jealous. "You ungrateful wretch, he's never even held my hand like this before!"
Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "My son seems to really like the Huo family."
"Yeah, seeing them makes me happy, especially when I see Huo Shiqian, my eyes light up."
"They say that nephews and uncles are destined to be together, and it seems to be true."
"Maybe." Qiao Wanwan looked at the man beside her. "Jing Ting, I invited the Huo family to my home without consulting you. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Zhan Jingting raised his hand and pinched her cheek. "When have I ever had any opinions about these trivial matters with Madam, hmm?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "I knew my husband was the best!"
"The reason I can accept the Huo family is because they were decisive and swift in handling that Mo thing. I wouldn't accept them if they had delayed even a little bit."
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Today, Huo Shiqian specifically told me that he didn’t find any evidence that Su Yimo poisoned Old Master Su and me, but he has basically spoken frankly with Su Yimo and has essentially broken off all ties with her.”
“I have investigated Huo Shiqian, and that is indeed his style of doing things; he doesn’t like to drag things out.”
"Um."
The group quickly returned to Wutong Bay.
Eleven and Xiao Jiu were already sitting on the sofa waiting. When they saw them return, they hurriedly went up to greet them and asked.
"Mommy, where did you take my little brother to play again?"
"Mommy, can't you wait until the holidays to take us together?"
Qiao Wanwan was both amused and exasperated. "Your brother is going to the hospital, are you going too?"
The two were horrified. "We're not going! We're not going!"
"Come and greet them." Although Qiao Wanwan herself didn't change her address, she still made the two children address them differently. "This is Great-Grandpa, this is Grandma, and this is Uncle."
The two children, always quick to speak, immediately greeted the person.
Grandpa Huo and Su Wan were so moved that they almost lost control of their emotions.
A rare smile appeared on Huo Shiqian's face.
Dinner was still being prepared, so Qiao Wanwan went back to her room to change into comfortable loungewear. She then called over Zheng Ma to make arrangements, saying, "The Huo family might be staying here tonight. In any case, please get the room ready and be polite."
"Yes, madam, rest assured, we will not neglect our guests."
"Um."
Looking at Qiao Wanwan sitting on the sofa, Zheng Ma couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy."
"No, I don't think so." Qiao Wanwan smiled. "I just feel a little complicated."
Zheng Ma said, "This is normal. By allowing the Huo family to come to our home, you have already accepted the fact that they are your relatives."
"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan hugged the pillow. "I can't quite describe how I feel. I'm a little happy, but also a little sad."
"I can tell that the Huo family are all quite good people. They may not be rich, but they are at least highly educated and come from good families. They also genuinely care about you, which is very rare."
“Yes, I should be content, or even grateful,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Before they came along, I did wonder what my biological parents were like… The Huo family is probably one of the best families in the world.”
"That makes sense. You're a child of the Huo family. Putting aside everything else, to put it bluntly, you're much luckier than Miss Zaozao, aren't you?"
"It's fine to say these things to me behind closed doors, but you absolutely can't say them in public," Qiao Wanwan reminded her. "If Zaozao hears about it, she'll be heartbroken."
"I'm sorry, Madam, I misspoke."
“I know what you said is true, but Zaozao is already very pitiful. I don’t want her to keep thinking about her family and her misfortunes.”
"Yes, I will never say it again."
Qiao Wanwan sighed, "Actually, I understand what you mean. It's simply about being content with what you have."
"Yes, that's what I mean. Be content with what you have, and having more family members who are good to you is not a bad thing."
"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and asked, "Did you call home early this morning?"
"I called, and they said they have a commitment to attend to this weekend, so they won't be going home."
"Okay, I'll call her later."
"good."
"It's getting late, let's eat."
"yes."
......
Dinner was sumptuous, and Qiao Wanwan specially opened two bottles of red wine.
"I didn't know what kind of dishes you like to eat, so I just made something simple. You can tell Aunt Zheng what you'd like to eat."
"It's already quite a feast."
Huo Shiqian said with a smile, "I've long heard that the chefs in Wutong Bay are all Michelin-starred chefs who are hard to hire even if you have the money, and two of them are even retired. Judging from their appearance, they are indeed extraordinary."
"Then you should try it." Qiao Wanwan said, serving food to her two sons. "You can't be picky about food, and you have to eat more vegetables."
"Okay, Mommy."
"Mommy, I want to eat broccoli!"
"good."
Grandpa Huo raised his juice glass and said, "I'm getting old and want to stay alive to watch my precious great-grandchildren grow up, so I won't drink alcohol anymore. Master Zhan, I'll toast you with juice instead of wine. We've come here to bother you."
