Chapter 771 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man had just placed the carefully prepared meal neatly on the dining table and softly called out to her grandfather to come and eat.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her father-in-law running towards her in a hurry, so she quickly bought another set of clean dishes and chopsticks.
Lin Man glanced at the three dishes and a steaming soup already placed on the table, thinking that it should be enough for everyone to enjoy, so she decided not to go to the kitchen to add new dishes.
However, thinking of the jar of crispy and delicious pickled cucumbers she had made not long ago, she turned around and walked to the jar, skillfully picking out a full bowl with chopsticks.
At this moment, Huo Li was frowning, staring at Huo Junshan with displeasure, and asked in a harsh tone: "It's already this late, what are you doing here?"
Huo Junshan, however, didn't take it seriously. A smile still hung on his face as he responded, "Dad, look at what you're saying. Do you think I came here on purpose just at mealtime?"
Huo Li thought to himself: That's right! But considering that his son is already an adult, some things can't be said directly, so as not to hurt the harmony between father and son.
So, he just snorted heavily and continued to ask, "Don't talk nonsense with me. Tell me what's going on."
Hearing his father's question, Huo Junshan put away his smile, his expression became slightly solemn, and he slowly said: "Dad, Qinghuan is back."
Upon hearing this, Huo Li immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked anxiously, "Is Qinghuan back? Where is he? Why don't you ask him to come over for dinner?"
Huo Junshan sighed helplessly and replied, "Dad, how could he have the nerve to come over for dinner right now? He's afraid of being laughed at by you."
Lin Man, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the father and son, seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, could it be... that he and Su He broke up?"
Huo Junshan nodded with a smile and said softly, "Yes, Qinghuan broke up with that girl! He even said that he doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore in the next few years. From now on, he has to stay away from those female classmates."
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but smile slightly. She really didn't expect that Huo Qinghuan had just been in a relationship, but he became so afraid of women after discovering that he had been deceived.
At this time, Huo Li turned to look at Huo Junshan and asked curiously, "Why is Qinghuan willing to separate from Su He?"
Huo Junshan sighed softly and replied, "Dad, this is what happened. When Qing Huan went to the state-owned restaurant to eat that day, she happened to see the woman named Su He sitting with a man for dinner.
Qing Huan didn't think much of it at first and even went over to greet them. Who knew that the man, Liao Guofeng, would actually admit on the spot that Su He was his wife.
Huo Li frowned and asked, "Did Su He admit this?"
Huo Junshan shook his head and continued, "Su He didn't say anything at the time. But after returning to school, she went to explain to Qing Huan that she hadn't officially registered her marriage with Liao Guofeng."
Huo Li snorted coldly and said, "Qing Huan wouldn't believe such nonsense, would he?"

Huo Junshan nodded in agreement. "That's right. Qing Huan certainly didn't believe it." So after dinner that day, he turned around and left without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Su He hurriedly chased after him and was accidentally hit by a tricycle.
After hearing this, Huo Li's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, his face full of surprise. He had never imagined that Su He would encounter such an unexpected situation when chasing his grandson.
"Is she okay now?" Huo Li asked with concern, frowning tightly.
"I heard that Su He's hand was broken by a tricycle, but fortunately the tricycle owner compensated her..." Huo Junshan's tone was a little heavy.
Upon hearing this news, Huo Li's heart sank, worried that his grandson would be implicated. He then asked, "Qing Huan didn't say anything about this, did he?"
"Qing Huan returned to school and broke up with her, saying that since the girl already had a boyfriend, he didn't want to compete with Liao Guofeng anymore.
But the girl was unwilling to do so, and Qing Huan threatened her that if she did not agree to break up, she would make public the fact that she stole money in the countryside.
"What?!" Huo Li was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his chair. "That girl even learned to steal money in the countryside? How could Qinghuan find such an unacceptable partner?" He was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and he gasped for breath.
Huo Junshan, who was standing by, saw his father was so angry about his son's affairs, and quickly explained: "Dad, don't get angry so quickly.
Qing Huan really knew nothing about Su He's affairs in the countryside before. Even the fact that she was married to Huo Guofeng was only discovered by you after some investigation... "
As Huo Junshan spoke, he carefully observed his father's reaction.
Before he finished speaking, Huo Li asked him again, "How did Qing Huan know that Su He had stolen other people's money in the countryside before?"
Huo Junshan paused for a moment before slowly explaining, "What happened was that when they were dining at the state-owned restaurant that day, Qing Huan overheard a conversation between Su He and Liao Guofeng.
At the time, Su He seemed reluctant to get a marriage registration with Liao Guofeng, and Liao Guofeng used this as a threat. Even more outrageous, Qing Huan heard that Liao Guofeng wasn't a good person either.
Just as the two of them were accusing each other and exposing each other's shortcomings, Qing Huan happened to overhear them.
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled, and then retorted: "If that's the case, why didn't Qing Huan choose to report it directly to the school?
If it is really reported, with Su He's bad behavior, he will definitely not be able to continue his studies because of this matter."
Huo Junshan sighed helplessly and replied with a wry smile, "Alas, you know, this is Qinghuan's first time in love.
He was kind-hearted after all, and considering their old friendship, he couldn't bear to let things get so out of hand, so he softened his heart and let Su He go so easily.
