Chapter 404 The Old Man Finds Chu Ci
The old man of the Huo family also received the news that Lin Nuo was safe.
My heart finally settled down.
At this time, his attention was drawn to the information about Chu Ci.
Xuyao was on his way back, and there were some things he could only deal with before Xuyao came back.
This matter concerns Xu Yao's life, so he must take it seriously.
The old man took out his daughter's photo again.
Looking at his daughter's smile in the photo, the old man had a painful expression: "I once promised you that I would never interfere with Xuyao's marriage, but today it seems I have to intervene. I just want him to live. If you are still alive, please bless Xuyao to be healthy and safe."
Mr. Huo brought his people to the courtyard where Chu Ci was temporarily staying.
In the living room, the old man sat on the armchair, exuding his own aura.
The arrival of Mr. Huo made Feng Ting more alert.
Chu Ci sat opposite the old man, his face calm, looking at him calmly.
The two met only a few times. The first time they met, the old man asked her to be his successor and treated her well.
"Miss Chu Ci, it's nice to see you again." The old man said to Chu Ci.
"If you have anything to say, please just say it directly, old sir." Chu Ci doesn't like beating around the bush.
"You probably know something about Xuyao's mother, right?"
“I’ve heard some.”
Mr. Huo continued, "Her mother is my only child, the apple of my eye. I was still young at the time, and I was very insistent on her marriage. I wanted her to marry my good friend's son, Xie Fengchen. I thought that would be the best thing for her."
Chu Ci listened carefully.
The old man continued, "I didn't want her to be with Lin Zemin, and I tried every means to stop them, which led to her passing away with Lin Zemin. What I didn't expect was that she fell ill not long after giving birth and passed away not long after."
"I often think that if I hadn't opposed her marriage to Lin Zemin and kept her by my side, I could have provided her with the best resources to save her when she was sick, and she would have had a great chance of survival. I've been regretting this for years, so I don't have any requirements for Xu Yao's marriage. As long as he likes it, I like it, and as long as he wants it, I will give it to him. But..."
Old Master Huo looked at Chu Ci with mixed feelings: "I already know the fate that Mr. Gan Lang predicted for you. I also know that your adoptive parents had a car accident when they returned to visit you."
The information of Chu Ci's adoptive parents had been tampered with, so others couldn't see the real situation, but the old man of the Huo family couldn't hide it.
"Old man, you want me to stay away from Lin Nuo?" Chu Ci's face was surprisingly calm.
Mr. Huo looked at Chu Ci with a look of regret, and nodded slowly: "Yes, it's not an order, it's a plea, I beg you. Miss Chu Ci, I know your situation. Let alone you are an academician of the Academy of Sciences, even if you are nothing, with no identity, no ability, and no background, I will not object. But this is the only thing that I can't do. I can't let anything happen to my grandson. His survival is my greatest wish. I hope you can understand me. No matter how powerful I am outside, I am essentially just an old man with one foot in the coffin."
"I can promise you, but I think I need your help." Chu Ci said.
Mr. Huo was greatly impressed by Chu Ci's calm reaction.
