Fu Shou Ju.
Huo Shengming did not go, Huo Jingcheng took Huo Shengyu with him.
Su Ruowan was giving acupuncture to Grandpa Lei in the Peony Courtyard. Huo Shengnian took out a cigarette and asked Huo Shengyu to go out with him to smoke.
"Don't you get tired of playing games every day?" The two brothers were standing outside the yard. Huo Shengnian took the initiative to speak, but the key point was that Huo Shengyu was even more silent than him.
"If I don't play games, I don't know what to do, so I just play." Huo Shengyu smiled softly.
Since he was a child, he was not a good student, his speech was not pleasing, and most importantly, no matter what he did, he could not win the favor of his parents.
Huo Jingcheng and Song Yingying rarely beat or scolded him, and even responded to his requests. In the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to have become their most favored youngest son.
However, the reality is not what outsiders see.
In their presence, he could not feel the normal love of his parents at all.
It's funny to say that he even envied Huo Shengnian and Huo Shengmei for a long time.
Although they have no parents, their grandmother educated and took good care of them.
Grandma loved them, taught them how to behave, told them that siblings should love each other, etc. If they made mistakes, she would beat and scold them.
When it’s cold, I worry that they don’t have enough clothes and that they’re hungry.
But whenever he spoke at home, Song Yingying would ask him if he was short of money, as if she had always given him enough money and had fulfilled her responsibilities towards him.
Over time, he rarely spoke.
"If your uncle and aunt don't have any plans for your future, why don't you go work for Hengxin Bank and help me with the bank for a while? After a while, Wanwan and I will go to the capital."
"Isn't President Bai managing the business well?" Huo Shengyu said coldly.
"If you've paid attention to the previous trending searches, you should know that Bai Qinan is Bai Yanrou's father. No matter what Bai Qinan's attitude towards his daughter is, he won't be able to hold on for long after Hengxin Bank becomes mine."
"He came to me a few days ago and told me that he wanted to take his wife abroad."
"It's better to find your own people than to look for someone else. Besides, you just don't have a job, so you rely on the little dividends grandpa gives you. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, but can you live a meaningful life like this?"
“…”
Huo Shengyu took a deep puff of his cigarette.
What difference does it make whether he has lived a meaningful life or not?
No one cares about him at all, right?
His parents are still alive, and he has an older brother and sister, but they are all devoted to Huo Jingbang and care deeply about their uncle.
Sometimes, he even suspected that his uncle Huo Jingbang was their biological son?
At that time, was there a possibility that he and Huo Jingbang were taken away by mistake?
However, as he grew older and matured, and no longer needed the attention and care of his elders, Huo Shengyu never thought about this matter again.
After all, if the baby was really taken away by mistake, it would probably have been discovered long ago.
From childhood to adulthood, how many blood tests have these three children, who were born on the same day, had together?
There has never been an accident.
"It's meaningless. What can I change? Just like you, there's nothing wrong with your birth, right?"
"Yes, we are both right, but I recently discovered that whether life has meaning or not is up to us to decide. The key lies in whether you are willing to change."
"Huo Shengnian, we were born just a few minutes apart. No matter who is the older brother and who is the younger brother, we are all peers. It seems that it is not the turn of one to be the other's life mentor, what do you think?"
"I didn't intend to be your life mentor. I just thought of you because we both have the surname Huo and Huo Shengmei is pregnant with her second child. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of you."
"Oh……"
When Huo Shengnian said this, Huo Shengyu's inner vigilance disappeared.
That's right, it's more normal to talk like this.
"If you really want to go to the capital and there's no one to help you look after the bank, then I'll give it a try. I'll give you a salary that's enough for me to buy gaming equipment."
"That depends on your performance. Also, I won't show favoritism just because we both have the last name Huo."
"Well, I know. Then you're not afraid that I'll leak the bank's secrets to my parents."
"Before, it was in your parents' hands. What do you think I have to be afraid of?"
“…”
Huo Shengyu had nothing to say.
Although he still didn't quite understand why Hengxin Bank, which Huo Shengnian had just taken over from his parents after giving up the fight for the position of head of the family, actually invited him to work there.
Huo Shengnian actually gave up the fight for the head of the Huo family for Su Ruowan. Did he really fall in love with the woman named Su?
But, is there such love?
The head of the Huo family, if he takes the throne, will possess wealth that cannot be exchanged for any number of Hengxin Banks.
Is it necessary to give up the fight for the head of the family and take such a small bank just to help Su Ruowan take revenge on that scumbag?
Besides, if that scumbag can’t get a loan from Hengxin Bank, he can also get a loan from other banks.
…
The lobby of the Peony Courtyard.
Su Ruowan skillfully helped Mr. Lei with acupuncture. The technique this time was slightly different from the last time, and Mr. Lei even broke out in a sweat.
The time is still fifteen minutes.
"Wanwan, I'm so sorry. I told your Grandma Liu that it wasn't that painful and my old bones could handle it. But she still called you over."
"It's okay, Grandpa Lei. I'm fine now anyway. My studio boss is planning to sell it, and I'm out of work. I'll come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to help you with the tattoo."
"Huh? Why did you sell the studio? It was doing well, wasn't it? Are you...unemployed?"
When Mr. Lei heard Su Ruowan say that she had lost her job, he was really worried. In his heart, Su Ruowan was no different from his grandchildren.
What is missing between them is only blood relationship.
"No, the barren mountain has been reclaimed. I'm working with Grandpa Su and the others to plant Chinese medicinal herbs. We've already started, so I'll be going to the studio less and less."
"So that's how it is. Then it's fine as long as there's work to do." Old Master Lei smiled.
"Old man Lei, you are just worrying about nothing. Wanwan has no work to do. My family is still able to support her. Have some water." Liu Hong handed him a glass of cold boiled water.
"I'm not worrying about nothing. I can afford to support Wanwan in her prime, but I can't just let her stay at home to take care of her husband and children. She has such great abilities and needs greater opportunities. She can't be buried like this."
"Yes, yes, you understand best."
The three of them seemed to be chatting happily, but Mr. Huo, who was standing aside, was ignored by Liu Hong and frowned in dissatisfaction.
He finally understood why Liu Hong would rather live in a nursing home than go home and live in a villa.
There are not so many attentive old men in the villa.
