"We haven't been able to find that yet," the assistant replied.
Huo Beichen pondered for a moment.
If his assistant couldn't find out, it means the person who took them away had more power than him.
In this city, you can count such people on one hand.
"Continue the investigation, send more people," Huo Beichen instructed. "Send people to question the Gu family, the Lin family, and the Yun family, make a big fuss."
After her assistant left, Sun Xiaowei went into the ward.
She glanced at him quietly, tidied the table for him, straightened the blankets, and said nothing.
"I'm fine," Huo Beichen said first.
Sun Xiaowei lowered her head, and large tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"I told you, I'm fine, don't worry," Huo Beichen said again.
"Brother Beichen, if I had known, I shouldn't have let you eat that cake." Sun Xiaowei felt very guilty.
"Otherwise you would have seen the countdown fireworks I lit for you."
Huo Beichen's lips curled slightly: "Birthdays come every year, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaowei shed even more tears.
At this moment, two assistants from the Sun family pushed open the door, one on each side.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Xiaowei's parents came in.
Sun Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and wiped away her tears.
Sun's mother had already seen it, her face full of heartache. "Xiaowei, Beichen just slept for one night, nothing else happened, why are you crying?"
Mr. Sun looked serious and said to Mrs. Sun, "You take care of Xiao Wei first. I have something to say to Huo Beichen."
Sun Xiaowei disagreed: "Dad, if you have something to say, say it to my face."
“This is a conversation between men; it’s not appropriate for you to be here,” Mr. Sun said sternly.
“You and Brother Beichen are discussing me, so of course I’m staying here,” Sun Xiaowei insisted.
"Just let your daughter stay here," said Sun's mother.
Their doting affection for Sun Xiaowei is evident.
Mr. Sun frowned: "Alright, then let me ask you, Huo Beichen, when do you plan to marry Xiaowei?"
"Dad!" Sun Xiaowei exclaimed anxiously, "Why are you asking this! We know what's going on between Beichen and me."
"What do you know?" Sun's father demanded. "Don't think I don't know. You worked so hard to prepare a fireworks display last night, but Huo Beichen left long ago!"
Speaking of this, Sun's mother was also very angry: "Beichen, we have no problem with Xiaowei liking you, but you can't take Xiaowei's hard work for granted!"
“Our Xiaowei has never suffered the slightest grievance since she was a child…” Sun’s mother’s eyes reddened.
Sun Xiaowei wanted to defend Huo Beichen, but she was worried that her parents would investigate further, so she said, "Mom and Dad, let's resolve the matter between Beichen and me ourselves, okay?"
“No,” Father Sun waved his hand, “Your marriage concerns the reputation of both the Sun and Huo families. Huo Beichen must give me an explanation today!”
Sun's parents both looked at Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen's tone was polite but indifferent, "Uncle, Aunt, Xiaowei and I haven't known each other for very long. If I were to say now that I won't marry anyone but her, would you think I'm being sincere?"
Mr. Sun dismissed the idea, saying, "Don't give me that nonsense. As long as my daughter likes it, I can give you enough to make you like her too."
Sun's mother had some reservations, "Honey, you can't say that."
“I heard that Huo Beichen has an illegitimate child, and recently the child’s mother is fighting with him for custody,” Sun’s mother asked. “Huo Beichen, what do you think about the custody of this child?”
Huo Beichen's eyes turned cold, and his face became extremely ugly. "Auntie, aren't you meddling too much?"
"What kind of attitude is this?!" Mr. Sun said angrily. "As Xiaowei's parents, shouldn't we be asking these questions?"
Huo Beichen replied, "If I choose to be with Xiaowei, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a husband. If I betray her or cause her harm, then you can blame me."
"As for my other private matters, you have no right to ask."
"you……"
"Dad, stop talking!" Sun Xiaowei interrupted her father, covered her face, and ran out.
"Xiao Wei!" Mr. and Mrs. Sun followed after her.
Outside the ward, a figure hiding in a corner saw the whole scene clearly.
When Sun's parents caught up with Sun Xiaowei, she was truly heartbroken, her eyes filled with tears.
"Xiaowei, why did you do this?" Sun's mother said, feeling both distressed and helpless.
“My daughter is sought after by countless young masters and noblemen, but I really can’t stand Huo Beichen!” Father Sun was still furious.
“But I’m going to marry him!” Sun Xiaowei said stubbornly. “Mom and Dad, if you really want to help me, then stop interfering.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
Sun's mother couldn't help but complain to her husband: "I told you long ago, this kind of attitude is not acceptable."
"If anything happens to our daughter, then our relationship is over!"
Sun's father reluctantly conceded: "Fine, fine, whatever you say goes!"
Yun Wanqing returned home with a smug look on her face.
"Didn't you go to the hospital to see Huo Beichen?" Chen Lizhen asked疑惑地, "Did something happy happen?"
When Chen Lizhen heard that the Sun family was throwing a big party for Huo Beichen, and that things seemed to be going well, she was very anxious.
If Huo Beichen and Sun Xiaowei's marriage really goes through, she will have no say in the Huo family anymore.
However, it was then said that a party had landed Huo Beichen in the hospital, which was truly baffling.
So she asked Yun Wanqing to go to the hospital to find out what was going on.
Yun Wanqing disagreed: "I don't think Huo Beichen will amount to much. He's not going to eat the swan that's already in his mouth, but is thinking about the ugly duckling outside."
After hearing her account of what she saw at the hospital, Chen Lizhen was also greatly surprised.
Unexpectedly, Huo Beichen is quite the romantic!
“However,” Yun Wanqing shook her head, “Sun Xiaowei is a brainless romantic, she won’t marry anyone but Huo Beichen, I reckon Huo Beichen can’t refuse a woman like that.”
“That’s because he hasn’t seen his true self yet,” Chen Lizhen sneered. “We should give him a hand.”
"How can we help?" Yun Wanqing asked.
"First, we need to find Sheng Nanyin," Chen Lizhen said.
"Where should we look?" Yun Wanqing had no clue.
“Lin Zhibai definitely knows all about these things in the city,” Chen Lizhen said. “If you ask him for more information, you’re sure to find out.”
Yun Wanqing hesitated.
Chen Lizhen raised an eyelid: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Young Master Lin?"
She scoffed dismissively, "Didn't you promise before that you'd definitely marry into the Lin family this time? Is something wrong?"
"Don't worry!" Yun Wanqing stood up. "How many cooperation opportunities has the Huo family gained because of my marriage to Young Master Lin?"
"If Young Master Lin wasn't truly sincere towards me, would he have allowed my father to use the Lin family's name to do business?"
Yun Wanqing went upstairs, changed into a newly bought designer dress, slung a new bag over her shoulder, and went out in high spirits.
"Wait for my good news."
