Chapter 370: Ten Bulls Can’t Pull It Back (Page 1/2)
After Qiao Yan finished his explanation, there was silence again. Lin Man did not speak, and as a bystander, Huo Li naturally did not want to interrupt and express his opinion.
Qiao Hongbin was completely angry and didn't want to speak. Even though the two brothers Qiao Siyuan and Qiao Siyu had a lot to say, they didn't have the courage to speak.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Suddenly, a child's voice came from the room. Qiao Yan spoke again bitterly, "Xiao Man, there's a big difference between having family and not having family. Are you really not going back to the Qiao family?"
"I'm sorry, Vice Minister Qiao. Whether I have family or not doesn't really matter to me. Qingci didn't marry me for my family, and Grandpa didn't mind me not having family."
Qiao Yan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He looked at Lin Man in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and self-blame.
If he had given the nurse a few more instructions, this wouldn't have happened.
At this moment, Qiao Hongbin secretly glanced at Huo Li again, wanting to know his opinion on the matter. After all, Huo Li was the real person in charge of the Huo family, and his attitude would determine whether Lin Man would stay or go.
However, Huo Li did not express his opinion, but just sat there quietly with a faint smile on his face.
Qiao Hongbin couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that this old man didn't care about family background at all? How did he agree to his favorite grandson marrying a woman who had nothing?
Why is he a little bit unable to believe this fact?
The more Qiao Hongbin thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. He began to doubt his own judgment. Perhaps he had always underestimated Huo Li's ideas.
He originally thought that since Huo Li had reached his current position, he should have known the benefits of power, and letting Lin Man return to the Qiao family would only make the relationship between the two families closer, but now it seems that he was completely wrong.
He seemed to be particularly indulgent to his grandson, so he also indulged his grandson's wife because of his love for her.
At this moment, Qiao Yan spoke again: "I hope you can think about it carefully again. Even if not for yourself, you should think more about Huo Qingci and the child."
After his son finished speaking, Qiao Hongbin deliberately glanced at Huo Li and said slowly:
"Lieutenant General Huo, I said before that I wanted the Qiao and Huo families to become close relatives, but now it seems that some people are not willing to become members of the Qiao family."
Hearing this, Lin Man's face turned very ugly. She responded unhappily: "Deputy Minister Qiao, I have made it very clear that I will never return to the Qiao family in this lifetime, so please go back!"
After saying that, she resolutely turned around and walked into the room, leaving the Qiao family sitting in the hall with an embarrassed look on their faces.
Qiao Hongbin never expected that Lin Man would be so angry. Even though they had said so much, she was still merciless.
He suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Lieutenant General Huo, since your granddaughter-in-law doesn't want to, forget it. I, Qiao Hongbin, already have three granddaughters, so one more won't make much."
Qiao Yan was in a daze, knowing that if they left this time, there would be no possibility of recognizing his relatives in the future.
His conscience suddenly awakened at this moment, and he grabbed Qiao Hongbin's arm, "Dad, that's my biological daughter! We can't leave like this."
"Humph, she doesn't even want to acknowledge you, yet you're still trying to get close to her."
"That's Wen Wan and I's first child. Even though I didn't raise him, he's still my child!"

"Let go, Qiao Yan! You are the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs after all. How can you let a little girl control you?"
When Qiao Siyuan and Qiao Siyu saw their grandfather and father arguing, they hurriedly pulled one apart.
Qiao Siyuan advised: "Grandpa, don't be angry, your health is more important!"
Qiao Siyu took her father's hand and said softly, "Dad, please sit down first. Let's talk calmly."
Huo Li also stood up and said sincerely, "Commissioner Qiao, I understand your feelings, but we still need to face some things calmly.
Lin Man has indeed experienced many twists and turns. Due to your negligence, she was transferred to a third family. She has never felt the warmth of a family since she was a child, nor has she been loved by her parents. Therefore, her personality may be a little extreme.
However, this is understandable, and you can't blame her for being impolite or disrespectful to her elders.
After all, you don't really treat her as a family member or as your junior.
Moreover, she was right. If you really wanted to recognize your biological daughter, you should have come here as soon as you found her. It has been so long since you came here.
You guys are here, but even Comrade Qiao Yan's wife didn't come. What delayed her? Or is she unwilling to come and see her own daughter?
As for Qiao Sitian, since she isn't a child of the Qiao family, you should contact her biological parents immediately and have her return to her home. This is the only way to correct the mistake and allow everyone to return to their rightful place."
Qiao Hongbin thought that Qiao Sitian might not be able to give birth to a son for Wang Xingyu, and would be abandoned by the Wang family sooner or later, so he might as well just give up on her.
Qiao Yan said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Lieutenant General Huo, we have raised Tiantian for so many years. Even if you raise a dog for a few months, you will have feelings for it, not to mention that we have raised her for 10 to 20 years..."
"Okay, stop talking. I was just giving an example. If my granddaughter-in-law doesn't want to go back to your Qiao family, then forget it! We should live our lives the same way as before."
Qiao Hongbin understood that Huo Li did not want to play the role of peacemaker in this matter, and he himself was not in the mood to stay in the Huo family.
To him, the granddaughter who suddenly appeared was an insignificant existence. It would be better if he could recognize her, but if he couldn't, they would not suffer any loss.
"Lieutenant General Huo, I'm really sorry to trouble you. We will visit you another day. Siyuan, Siyu, come with grandpa." After saying this, Qiao Hongbin put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked out the door.
Qiao Siyuan and Qiao Siyu hurried to catch up, while Qiao Yan looked at the closed door not far away with a complicated expression.
He walked up to Huo Li and whispered, "Lieutenant General Huo, I'm really sorry to bother you today. I hope you can help persuade that child."
Huo Li shook his head helplessly, "Deputy Minister Qiao, you should go back first. I think we should forget about this recognition of kinship, and don't come to see her again in the future.
Lin Man is very stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, even ten oxen can't pull her back. My persuasion is useless. You should go back first and stop making your father angry.
