Chapter 52: Strong and tough, but clingy
Unlike their children's joyful anticipation, Huo Jianguo and Chen Yuxiang looked at each other nervously and smiled bitterly, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
Wait, don’t check!
In order to concentrate on eating the melon, Su Lingyu sat down on the imperial concubine's couch and motioned Huo Lang to pour her a glass of water.
Huo Lang nodded immediately and prepared for a 100-meter sprint.
Seeing how impatient he was, Huo Jianguo moved his wrist joints and felt his hands itchy.
A few seconds later, the system suddenly burst into shocking laughter: [Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! ]
Su Lingyu asked curiously: [What's going on? ]
[The situation in which Chen Yuxiang falls in love with Huo Yan is really too extreme. He is definitely Huo Jianguo's child. There is no second possibility. Hahahahahaha! ]
Why?
The system said: [Listen to me! Huo Jianguo's parents died early, and he didn't receive much education when he was young. He made a living by hunting. Although he is tall and handsome, and has some wealth, no one is willing to marry their daughter to him, for fear that his daughter will be a widow.]
[Your mother-in-law likes good-looking and strong men. She fell in love with Huo Jianguo and asked him to come to her house to propose marriage after dating for a while. However, her family didn't like Huo Jianguo and directly drove him away with a broom. Your mother-in-law didn't get married.]
[But this time she didn't get married, and instead ran into a bad thing. Because your mother-in-law was pretty, she was spotted by a bandit from the mountains. He kidnapped your mother-in-law and hid in the mountains, making the Chen family extremely anxious.]
[Fortunately, your father-in-law got the news, asked about the situation, and then ventured into the mountains. He killed more than a dozen bandits and was seriously injured, but he saved your mother-in-law and burned down the bandit camp. Because of the life-saving grace and your mother-in-law's determination to get married, the Chen family no longer blocked their marriage.]
Su Lingyu raised her hand to cover her lips, her almond eyes lit up: [Wow, a hero saving a beautiful girl? This is too exciting! I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so courageous, my mother-in-law is so lucky! ]
[Yes! ]
【Then, didn’t they experience a few years of famine? There was a food shortage in their village, and countless people died of starvation. Your father-in-law, with his good hunting skills, took your mother-in-law and her family into the mountains and took care of the family’s livelihood.】
[During the time when she fled to the mountains, your mother-in-law was pregnant with her first child, Huo Yan. At that time, besides her family and relatives, there was only one man around her, your father-in-law. How could Huo Yan not be a child of the Huo family?]
[Afterwards, when Huo Yan was still pregnant, your father-in-law joined the army and had a stable income. He continued to rise up the career ladder and brought your mother-in-law with him. The Chen family went from being grateful to him to respecting him. Whenever they mentioned your father-in-law, they would praise him and say that your mother-in-law had good vision.]
I never thought that my parents had such a romantic and exciting past. My father really tried his best to marry my mother and get the recognition of the Chen family.
The siblings Huo Lang and Huo Xiang looked at their parents with bright eyes, gossipy faces and longing for love.
Huo Yan, who was farther away, appeared calm on the surface, but there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
Huo Jianguo and Chen Yuxiang's faces turned red with embarrassment.
Originally they were embarrassed to let their children know these past events, but they didn't expect that they would admire them so much. Now they don't feel so uncomfortable.
Huo Jianguo quietly straightened his chest.
At this time, the system said: [However, Huo Yan was particularly clingy to his mother when he was young. Huo Jianguo finally went home to visit his family and wanted his wife to accompany him. The father and son often competed for affection. Huo Jianguo threw Huo Yan into the next room while he was asleep at night, and Huo Yan pulled out his hair while Huo Jianguo was still asleep in the morning, which often caused chaos.]
[Is Huo Yan still so "lively"? 】
[Yes! But host, if Huo Yan is like his father, no matter how masculine and tough he is in public, he will definitely be very clingy in private. You must be careful! ]
Huo Yan; “…”
Huo Jianguo: “…”
Su Lingyu said nothing: [What does it have to do with me? I am not familiar with Huo Yan.]
[But... since Huo Yan is a member of the Huo family, why didn't my father-in-law agree to spend money on his leg treatment? He was obviously very generous when he gave me pocket money. ]
System: [I don’t know about that.]
Just then, Zhang's mother called us to have lunch, so we all finished eating melons.
The family sat around the table.
As Su Lingyu ate, she would look up at Huo Jianguo and Chen Yuxiang from time to time, and occasionally glance at Huo Yan beside her.
He seemed to be thinking about something between his eyebrows.
In order to maintain his dignity as the head of the family, Huo Jianguo kicked Huo Lang and signaled him to speak.
Huo Lang was in so much pain that he twitched. He finished the food in his mouth in a few bites and said to Su Lingyu, "Sister-in-law, do you think what Dad said was a little unfair to me? Actually, it's not like that."
"On the way back from the hospital, my dad received a phone call saying that Dr. Wang was a fake. It was Wang Dechao's younger brother, Wang Degui, pretending to be him. He told us to be careful."
"We thought, we can't let my brother get hurt. It just so happened that you, sister-in-law, didn't like him, so dad drove him away. He said that on purpose to avoid causing any trouble. It definitely doesn't mean that he doesn't care about my brother and is reluctant to spend money on his medical treatment."
Su Lingyu subconsciously asked, "Fake?"
"yes."
Su Lingyu asked: "Since you knew he was a fake, why did you let him go so easily? His current identity is 'Wang Dechao', one of the doctors specially invited by the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He will soon participate in the project. What if he exposes a bigger secret?"
"This..." Huo Lang choked.
We didn't talk about so much when we discussed it privately before.
Huo Yan said calmly: "To accuse him of impersonating Wang Dechao, we need concrete evidence. We don't have it now. We need to go to his hometown to collect it."
Huo Jianguo also added seriously: "I have arranged people to follow him to prevent him from harming others. I will contact Jingcheng University later. Once he finds Jingcheng University, he will be closely monitored to prevent him from affecting the normal operation of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"Hmm..." Su Lingyu nodded and asked, "Wang Degui actually had the opportunity to impersonate Wang Dechao. Did Wang Dechao know about it?"
Huo family: "..."
They also want to know, aren't they all waiting to continue eating melons?
As soon as Su Lingyu saw their expressions, she knew that her question was in vain.
She asked the system: [What the hell is Wang Degui? Why can he impersonate Wang Dechao? Is Wang Dechao dead, allowing his brother to use his name to cheat? ]
The system beeped twice and quickly said: […Wang Dechao is really dead.]
Su Lingyu: [What?]
The Huo family was also shocked.
What, Wang Dechao is dead?
The system said: [The Wang family, like the Su family, is a family of doctors. However, when it comes to the De generation, the elder brother Wang Dechao has been fascinated by the study of medicine since he was a child. He has superb medical skills and a great reputation. However, the younger brother Wang Degui is an out-and-out gangster who does not work properly and relies on Wang Dechao for financial support.]
[Half a month ago, Wang Degui went to Wang Dechao to borrow money again, and the two brothers had an argument. Wang Degui was furious and pushed Wang Dechao to the ground. Wang Dechao's head hit the millstone in the yard and he died on the spot.]
【Having killed his brother, Wang Degui was very scared. On the one hand, he was afraid that people would know that he had killed Wang Dechao, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to rely on Wang Dechao for free food and drink in the future, and his life would be difficult. It just so happened that the Huo family asked Wang Dechao to be Huo Yan's special doctor, so he came up with an idea to impersonate Wang Dechao. 】
Su Lingyu: [He is indeed an old scoundrel, trash! ]
[He killed someone and also pretended to be someone else to harm others. Isn't it too easy for him to be let off like this? ]
Huo Jianguo gave Huo Yan a look, and Huo Yan nodded calmly.
He will avenge himself.
[Host, I also found out that the reason why Wang Degui was able to impersonate Wang Dechao and successfully pass the assessment of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine was that someone was helping him behind the scenes.]
There is an accomplice?
Su Lingyu was shocked and asked quickly: "No way, the Chinese Medicine Research Institute has not even started and there is already a failure? Who is helping him?"
She was surprised, and the Huo family was even more surprised.
Outsiders all thought that the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine was a project led by Peking University.
But only their family members knew that this project was completely led by the higher-ups and was created for Su Lingyu, just to satisfy her desire to study traditional Chinese medicine.
To protect her safety, personnel review is very strict.
How can there be losers even in this situation?
