When Huo Yanchen left the Huo family with his maternal grandparents, he was no longer the pitiful man he had been before. Instead, he was handsome and clean-cut.
He originally thought that because he had made a scene at Huo Dongfang's engagement banquet today, the Huo family would definitely keep him in the Huo family, given their personality.
Huo Yanchen never expected that Huo Dongfang would not adopt him as he had in his previous life.
What exactly went wrong?
Is it because of that Ye Fanxing?
It must be her.
He clearly remembered that the other members of the Huo family initially disagreed with adopting him, but it was Huo Dongfang who insisted on adopting him, and the Huo family finally agreed to adopt him.
Everything around him is exactly the same as he remembers?
Why did things go wrong on Huo Dongfang's side?
If Ye Fanxing is killed, will everything return to normal?
Huo Yanchen lowered his eyelids, concealing the murderous intent in his eyes very deeply.
He was still a child.
A child who has no chance to fight back if a soldier makes a move.
However… Huo Yanchen’s lips curled slightly, a contemptuous sneer on his face. Children have their advantages too.
Who would doubt that a child could kill someone?
As Huo Yanchen walked along, preoccupied with his own thoughts, he bumped into Lu Xiangrong, who was taking a stroll in the courtyard.
Lu Xiangrong pushed Huo Yanchen away with a look of disgust. Seeing that Huo Yanchen looked like a stranger, she shouted irritably, "Whose child are you? Don't you know how to watch where you're going?"
Upon hearing Lu Xiangrong's familiar voice, Huo Yanchen instantly transformed into a childlike, innocent figure.
"Sister, I'm sorry!"
If Huo Yanchen were still looking as dirty as before, Lu Xiangrong definitely wouldn't even want to acknowledge him.
But Huo Yanchen had now dressed himself up neatly and cleanly, and with his deliberately pitiful appearance, Lu Xiangrong's attitude changed.
"It's alright." Lu Xiangrong waved her hand. "Be more careful next time."
The Huo family's attitude forced Huo Yanchen to make two preparations.
Lu Xiangrong, who was standing in front of him, could definitely become his help.
"Sister." Huo Yanchen looked at Lu Xiangrong's leather shoes. "I accidentally stepped on your shoes and got them dirty. Let me wipe them for you."
After saying that, Huo Yanchen squatted down in front of Lu Xiangrong and grabbed her sleeve to wipe her leather shoes.
"No need...no need to wipe."
Lu Xiangrong was upset simply because she had her uterus removed and would never be able to be a mother again.
But when she saw Huo Yanchen, a child, thoughtfully trying to wipe the dust off her leather shoes, she felt a pang of pity.
Lu Xiangrong reached out and pulled Huo Yanchen up. When she unconsciously noticed the injury on Huo Yanchen's hand, she asked with some pity, "How did you get hurt?"
Huo Yanchen pouted, and tears of grievance streamed down his face.
"What's wrong? Tell your sister!"
Huo Yanchen's maternal grandparents knew very well that the Huo family were all important figures.
Not wanting to offend the Huo family, they took the initiative to step forward and grab Huo Yanchen's hand.
"Xiao Chen, let's go home!"
Huo Yanchen abruptly shook off the old man's hand, hugged Lu Xiangrong tightly, and said pitifully, "Sister, I can sweep the floor, I can wash clothes, I can cook, and I eat very little. Can you take me back?"
"Sister, I don't want to go with them! They sold my mother to my father, and he beats her when he's drunk!"
“My mom ran away because she was terrified of being beaten! If I go back with them, they'll sell me off too!”
Huo Yanchen clung to Lu Xiangrong like a leech, and Lu Xiangrong couldn't shake him off.
Although Huo Yanchen's maternal grandparents were illiterate, they were well aware of the Huo family's attitude.
They didn't want to escalate the situation further, so they tried to forcibly drag Huo Yanchen away.
Little did they know, Huo Yanchen held Lu Xiangrong tightly and wouldn't let go.
Having grown accustomed to a good life, how could he possibly want to live a life of hardship?
Having tasted the sweetness of power, how could Huo Yanchen be willing to give it up and start all over again?
"Enough!" Seeing that Huo Yanchen would rather carry her than go with his grandparents, Lu Xiangrong shouted with a headache, "What are you doing? Can't you see that this child doesn't want to go with you?"
At this moment, other people in the courtyard saw the commotion and came over.
They all chimed in with their stories about Huo Yanchen disrupting Huo Dongfang's engagement banquet.
Lu Xiangrong pulled Huo Yanchen to the Huo family home.
The neighbors also gathered around to watch the spectacle.
When Lu Xiangrong arrived at the Huo family, she wanted to drag Huo Yanchen there and rush towards the Huo family regardless of everything.
However, the guard stretched out his hands and blocked Lu Xiangrong's way.
"Huo Dongfang, come out here!"
Hearing Lu Xiangrong's voice, Huo Dongfang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Just as he was about to leave, he saw that Ye Fanxing was even faster than him.
When Ye Fanxing saw Lu Xiangrong and Huo Yanchen together, the anger in her heart instantly burned like a wildfire.
"Lu Xiangrong, Huo Dongfang is now my fiancé. What do you want to say to me?"
Lu Xiangrong pushed Huo Yanchen in front of Ye Fanxing, "Ye Fanxing, isn't it you who disagreed with Huo Dongfang adopting him?"
"Lu Xiangrong, since you can't have children anyway, why don't you take him back and raise him?"
Without a second thought, Lu Xiangrong blurted out, "Am I crazy? I want to adopt a son who has no blood relation to me?"
"Are you not crazy? Then who is?" Ye Fanxing stood on the steps, deliberately misinterpreting Lu Xiangrong's meaning in front of the neighbors, "Lu Xiangrong, deliberately bringing a child to ruin our engagement banquet, isn't that shameless?"
"You don't think that by bringing a child and causing trouble, you'll ruin our engagement party, do you?"
Let me tell you, don't get your hopes up! Huo Dongfang and I have a great relationship! We won't be turned against each other by a few words from you!
Lu Xiangrong was so angry at Ye Fanxing's words that she trembled all over.
"Ye Fanxing, stop making baseless accusations! Who brought a child to cause trouble?"
Ye Fanxing exclaimed in surprise, "Of course it's you, Lu Xiangrong! You were pregnant with another man's child and wanted Huo Dongfang to marry you! When Huo Dongfang refused, you spread rumors about Huo Dongfang's illness everywhere!"
"You miscarried, and your shameless parents came to Huo Dongfang's door begging him to marry you, since you can't have children!"
"Now that I'm engaged to Huo Dongfang, you're still causing trouble with your child?"
"Lu Xiangrong, it's too late for you to regret it! From the moment you abandoned Huo Dongfang four years ago, you were out of Huo Dongfang's life!"
Lu Xiangrong's face turned ashen with anger. Pointing at Ye Fanxing's nose, she said furiously, "Ye Fanxing, stop changing the subject! I'm talking about this child!"
"Lu Xiangrong, we all know that you adopted him because you never had a child of your own! Congratulations on the birth of your son!"
