On this day, another war broke out in the Huo family, which had finally been peaceful for a while. When Huo Jinxi arrived home late at night, the servants were still cleaning the mess in the living room.
Lin Shu happened to come down from upstairs. When she saw him, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Huo Jinxi asked.
Lin Shu replied: "Your father went to the United States two days ago, and today your mother knew that he went to see Rong Qingzi, so——"
Hearing the name "Rong Qingzi", Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes for a moment, and then said, "Where is the person?"
"Your dad left after the quarrel, and your mom is crying upstairs." Lin Shu said, "I'll come down and get her a glass of water. You go up and see her first."
Huo Jinxi turned around and walked upstairs. As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard Cheng Manshu's cries mixed with curses.
Over the years, every time such a situation occurs, it is always because of the women around Huo Bainian. To Cheng Manshu, all those women are taboos, and Rong Qingzi is the taboo among taboos. If you mention it a little, you will know
It stung her nerves.
This kind of marriage is no longer just in name, because there is no longer any dignity between the two.
Huo Bainian's nature is hard to change, and Cheng Manshu could not change him, but also stubbornly refused to let go, which finally created the situation today.
Huo Jinxi walked to Cheng Manshu's bedroom door, and Cheng Manshu's voice suddenly became clear. Her high-pitched voice was mixed with unbearable curses, like a mad woman with confused thoughts.
Regarding this situation, Huo Jinxi didn't feel distressed at all, but he felt more distressed and gradually became numb.
After all, this situation is not unchangeable, but the parties involved are stubbornly unwilling to change it.
They torture each other and themselves.
When Lin Shu came up with a glass of warm water, she only saw Huo Jinxi standing at the door.
"Why don't you go in?" She stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Huo Jinxi suddenly turned around.
"You stay here with her, and I'll go back and stay with Qi Ran."
By the time he finished speaking, the person was already walking towards the stairs.
"Jin Xi! Jin Xi!" Lin Shu shouted twice. Seeing that he didn't look back, she couldn't help but stamp her feet.
Looking back, Cheng Manshu in the room was still cursing.
Lin Shu was quiet for a moment, couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then pushed the door open and entered.
…
The black Bentley drives in the night.
Huo Jinxi sat in the back row, leaning on the seat and closing his eyes to relax.
The driver was driving the car to Jiangnan Mansion attentively, but suddenly he heard Huo Jinxi ask: "Where has the old man been living recently?"
The driver was startled and looked at Huo Jinxi in the rearview mirror, only to see that he still had his eyes closed. The words he just said seemed to be just a babble. However, the driver quickly replied: "After Miss Mu left, the old man felt too old.
The house became deserted, so I moved to a nursing home."
"Go and have a look." Huo Jinxi said.
The driver looked at the time on the dashboard and saw that it was already half past eleven. However, when Huo Jinxi spoke, he naturally didn't say anything and quickly turned the car around.
When the car arrived at the nursing home, there were only a few windows with lights on, and Mr. Huo's window was one of them.
When Huo Jinxi pushed in the door, Mr. Huo was still playing with his antique radio under the light.
As soon as he turned around and saw him, the old man suddenly darkened his face, "Do you still remember that I am your grandfather?"
Huo Jinxi didn't answer. He stepped forward and took the radio in his hand, "Can't receive the channel again?"
The old man sat in the rocking chair and said, "It's broken."
Huo Jinxi tested it, then took off his suit, found a set of small tools, and began to dissect and repair it.
"That girl Mu Qian must have messed up the tune for me before." Mr. Huo said, "But thinking about it, it's better when she's here. If someone is with me, you should run more frequently towards me.
As soon as she left, you didn't come to see me for half a month. This is the sadness of empty nesters..."
Huo Jinxi ignored him and concentrated on repairing the antique for him under the light.
After playing with it for nearly ten minutes, the radio finally came out with sound again. The old man suddenly became happy and held the radio in his arms like a baby.
Huo Jinxi wiped his hands quietly when he suddenly heard the old man ask: "How long has it been since you had a good rest?"
Huo Jinxi didn't stop moving his hands at all, "Is it obvious?"
The old man stretched out his hand and patted the lampshade of the desk lamp, "With the lamp shining on me, I don't feel drowsy. My eyes are even red. You rarely see such a state."
"I just didn't sleep well," Huo Jinxi said.
After hearing this, Mr. Huo couldn't help but frown, "Why can't you sleep well? Is there anything going on in the company recently?"
"No." Huo Jinxi replied, "Everything is normal."
After hearing this, the old man said slowly: "I handed the Huo family into your hands seven years ago. I have seen how much you have paid for the Huo family over the years. Facts have proved that my decision was not wrong. Over the years, you have always
We have no days off all year round, take some time to take a vacation for yourself, take Qi Ran out for a walk, for example... go to the United States to relax or something, the child has never traveled far, so he will definitely like those places very much. "
After Mr. Huo finished speaking, he shrugged and returned to the bedroom with his radio.
Huo Jinxi sat quietly for a while, then stood up and left.
…
After reuniting with Mu Qian, Su Mubai's life that had remained unchanged for the past three years had undergone tremendous changes.
Although he is still very reluctant to go out, Mu Qian seems to have forgotten that he is a disabled person. Whenever the two of them go out, she always takes him to crowded places - listening to speeches, watching operas, doing volunteer work, etc.
Go to different restaurants to eat.
After a while, Su Mubai realized that Mu Qian was helping him reintegrate into a normal life. Even though he had no such intention, he couldn't bear to go against her wishes.
On this day, when the two of them went to a restaurant in the city center for dinner, they unexpectedly met Rong Qingzi in the elevator.
Mu Qian and Su Mubai entered the elevator first, and as soon as they pressed the button for the restaurant floor, Rong Qingzi walked into the elevator holding her boyfriend's hand.
Mu Qian smiled and greeted her: "Ms. Rong, what a coincidence."
Looking at the man next to her again, she saw that he was no longer the same man she saw in the hospital last time.
Mu Qian was used to this. Rong Qingzi glanced at her, then at the floor she clicked on, then she took the man's arm and walked out of the elevator, "Let's change restaurants."
Su Mubai couldn't help but be startled, "Qianqian, that one just now was..."
"My mother." Mu Qian replied, "Ms. Rong."
"That you……"
"That's how it is between us." Mu Qian said, "Don't be surprised."
Su Mubai thought for a moment and then spoke again: "You are not as cold to her as she is to you."
Mu Qian leaned against the elevator wall, chuckled and said, "Before my father passed away, he told me to stay with my mother well. I obeyed my father's words, but she didn't want me."
