"What's up?"
Yi Tianran didn't take it seriously at first, until the butler didn't reply for a long time.
She subconsciously turned around and saw the housekeeper looking at the three little ones with a conflicted expression, not knowing how to start a conversation.
Yi Tianran's eyelids twitched. After exchanging a few words with the three little ones, she got up, went outside, and asked him, "Who exactly came?"
The butler, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, cautiously approached her and told her, "Those two people outside, a man and a woman, one claims to be Young Master Huaihuai's biological father, and the other claims to be his aunt."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Tianran's face turned cold, and her fists clenched tightly.
No wonder she had a bad feeling that day; it seems... what was bound to happen has finally happened.
"Should we ask them to leave?" the butler asked cautiously.
Yi Tianran shook her head, her eyes firm, and said, "No need. Invite them to the third floor. Remember, don't disturb Huaihuai and the others."
"Yes!" The butler immediately accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Ten minutes later, in the study.
A man and a woman entered, led by the butler.
Yi Tianran took a deep breath, then turned around. When she saw the two people in front of her, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The man was tall, at least 185 cm, and exuded an air of nobility in every gesture, clearly indicating his distinguished background.
But she had seen these things before. What shocked her the most was the man's face, which was at least 60% similar to Huaihuai's.
Those who know them probably already have guesses about his and Huaihuai's identities.
The woman next to the man looked very familiar; wasn't she Tong Zhiwei from that day?
No wonder...she seemed so shocked at the time.
So that's how it is.
The man had a refined and aristocratic air about him and got straight to the point: “Miss Yi, my surname is Huo and my given name is Jinzhou. I’m not beating around the bush today. I’m here to find my biological son, to let him recognize his ancestors and return to the Huo family with me.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran's expression turned cold, and she said unhappily, "Mr. Huo, what a big mouth you have! You've ignored your own son for eight years, and now that he's been raised by you, you want to take him back? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Do I look like the kind of person who's easy to bully?"
For the first time, a strong sense of indignation welled up in her heart.
In response, Huo Jinzhou explained with apparent sincerity: "I'm sorry, I didn't know she had given birth to the child before, so I didn't know about the existence of my son. Now that I know, how can I give up on him? After all, he is my own flesh and blood."
"Blood ties are not the standard for measuring parent-child relationships." Yi Tianran said indifferently, tapping her fingers on the table again and again. "Some fathers and daughters are related by blood, but if the father is so despicable that he is outraged by everyone, the daughter does not need to forgive him; and some fathers are alive, but they are like the dead, without any sense of existence. Mr. Huo, tell me, which one do you belong to?"
"Hey, don't go too far." Hearing this, Tong Zhiwei finally couldn't hold back anymore. "What right do you have to talk to him like that! He's that child's biological father, he has the right to talk to his son face to face, don't bully him like this."
Besides, this is the Fu residence; Fu Yunchen is the master, isn't he? And who are you? His new favorite? Someone who will be discarded in a while? What right do you have to be so arrogant?
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Fu Yunchen's authoritative voice followed, "She is my wife."
He walked in step by step, his aura imposing. "Anyone who dares to disrespect her is going against the entire Fu family."
Tong Zhiwei was so overwhelmed by his imposing aura that she could hardly breathe.
She flinched and unconsciously hid behind Huo Jinzhou, her eyes filled with fear.
Huo Jinzhou shielded her behind him and said earnestly, "It was Zhiwei who was rude just now. Please forgive her, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu!"
But my determination to get my son back is real, no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles, even if it means going against the Fu family.
The Huo family's business empire was based in Kyoto, and their family background and status were not much worse than the Fu family's.
However, because one is in the south and the other in the north, they have always maintained a state of non-interference with each other, so they neither offended nor became familiar with each other.
But this time, the other party was clearly determined to take Huaihuai away at any cost.
Yi Tianran's expression grew increasingly cold, her gaze piercing him like sharp blades. "From the beginning, you've been acting entirely on your own, insisting on bringing Huaihuai back. But have you asked his opinion? Does he want to stay, or does he want to go with you? Have you considered that? Is this how you act as a father? Forcing him to go with you, is this your fatherly love?"
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was, after all, Huaihuai's biological father, Yi Tianran would have loved to punch him.
Shameless scoundrel!
Huo Jinzhou was taken aback upon hearing this. "I think the child is still too young to distinguish right from wrong, or who is close and who is distant. Only after spending more time with him will he realize that returning to the Huo family is the best place for him."
Yi Tianran gritted her teeth and said, "What you think is nothing! I only care what Huaihuai thinks is right!"
In the past, she was always calm and composed in the face of any situation. Even when faced with a crisis, she would quickly use her brain to find the most suitable solution.
But this time, with her son involved, she clearly lost control of her emotions.
As if sensing her unease, Fu Yunchen reached out and took her hand, offering silent comfort.
Yi Tianran's frustration was finally relieved.
She calmed herself down, determined not to be easily provoked, even if it was for Huaihuai's sake, she had to stay calm.
Fu Yunchen immediately turned his head, his gaze sweeping coldly over the other party, "Mr. Huo, please learn to respect your child's opinion."
"Of course I've considered the children's future," Huo Jinzhou said matter-of-factly. "President Fu has two biological sons, and in the future, he and his wife may have a third or fourth child. So, the position of the Fu family heir will naturally not be given to an outsider with no blood relation."
If I bring him back to the Huo family, I will definitely provide him with the best educational conditions and raise him as my sole heir. This is the greatest sacrifice and expression of love I can make for my child.
Yi Tianran was almost amused by his remarks. "Mr. Huo, you don't think that giving the best conditions is a sign of spoiling the child, do you?"
Do you even have emotional intelligence? Anyone with a normal mind knows that children need their parents' presence to love them!
Based on what I know about the president of the Huo Group, you must be single! With no experience whatsoever, what makes you think you can raise a child well?
Huo Jinzhou was taken aback, and for a moment he really couldn't think of a rebuttal.
Just then, Tong Zhiwei stepped forward, took Huo Jinzhou's arm, and said confidently, "Then let me be the child's mother. I will marry Jinzhou and raise and educate the child properly."
