Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Manshu, with a rare tired look in his eyes.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Huo Jinxi asked.
"I'm sorry..." Cheng Manshu still said, "I know you love him very much, I know you care about him... I didn't mean to hurt him, I really didn't mean to..."
"He is also your grandson." Huo Jinxi said slowly, "Your grandson."
This sentence seemed to suddenly sting Cheng Manshu.
She was holding on to Huo Jinxi tightly, but now she couldn't help but loosen her hand slightly.
"He is still so young, he doesn't understand anything." Huo Jinxi said, "Why do you have the heart to hurt him like this, again and again?"
"You blame me?" Cheng Manshu burst into tears and spoke with red eyes, "I already said I didn't mean it, and you still blame me?"
"He is still lying in the hospital." Huo Jinxi looked at her and said slowly, "As a father, I can't even protect my own child. What else can I do?"
Cheng Manshu slowly took two steps away, tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes, but he laughed.
"Yes..." she said, "I hurt your son, and I deserve death... I'm sorry for you... I'll pay it back now! I'll pay it back to you now!"
As she spoke, she started rummaging around in the room.
"Where's the knife? Where's my knife?" She was looking for it while gibbering like she was losing her mind, "I'll give it back to you! I'll give it back to you completely!"
Huo Jinxi watched her irrational behavior quietly for a long time before finally speaking again: "What exactly will it take for you to let yourself go?"
Hearing his words, Cheng Manshu suddenly froze.
Let yourself go.
Huo Jinxi had said these words to her countless times since she was a child.
Cheng Manshu had never been able to listen, but this time, she seemed to suddenly understand clearly what Huo Jinxi was referring to.
"You really hate me and want me to die to apologize, right?" Cheng Manshu said, "Your father doesn't want me, and now you don't even want me... Okay, okay -"
Cheng Manshu said "good" two times in succession, then suddenly turned his head and hit the wall!
Huo Jinxi was always on guard. Seeing her move, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.
Cheng Manshu struggled several times and finally cried uncontrollably.
"Both you, father and son, are torturing me, and you are only torturing me -" Cheng Manshu's eyes were horribly red, "He only thinks about that woman! He only thinks about that woman! And you actually married that woman's daughter!
Even Huo Qiran is her son! It’s you who want to drive me crazy! It’s you—”
She complained hoarsely, and Huo Jinxi listened quietly. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice: "Maybe I have done something wrong all along."
…
In the end, the police took Cheng Manshu away from the Huo family.
Lin Shu's eyes were so anxious that she kept pulling Huo Jinxi, "How could your mother be taken away by the police in this condition? She will collapse!"
Huo Jinxi stood at the door of the hall, looking solemnly at the police car that was gradually moving away, without saying a word.
Rong Heng, who came after hearing the news, passed by the police car, stopped in front of Huo Jinxi, pushed the door open, and asked solemnly, "Second brother, what on earth is going on?"
Huo Jinxi seemed to have guessed that he would come. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "You are also an insider after all. Please help me keep an eye on it. Someone must be with my mother anytime and anywhere. If something happens to her,
I will definitely pursue it to the end.”
Rong Heng couldn't help but sigh slightly after hearing this.
These words are far worse than Huo Jinxi's instructions. Given the Huo family's status and Cheng Manshu's status, the police will only handle this matter more carefully and appropriately no matter what.
But if this happened to such a family and was so dramatic, I'm afraid it would cause quite a disturbance.
"Jin Xi——" Lin Shu still looked at Huo Jinxi with concern but concern.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Huo Jinxi said slowly, "Before that, I need you to help me confirm who revealed Qi Ran's identity to my mother."
When Lin Shu heard this, she suddenly paused.
…
After a brief meeting, Rong Heng accompanied Huo Jinxi to the hospital.
On the way, Huo Jinxi received a call from Qi Yuan.
"Mr. Huo, the lawyer has arrived at the police station, and a team of authoritative psychology experts has been formed and is on its way to the police station." Qi Yuan said cautiously, "Madam, you shouldn't have to stay at the police station for too long."
After Huo Jinxi heard this, he didn't say anything more. He just said, "Notify me after it's done."
Seeing this, Rong Heng couldn't help but said: "Do you want my aunt to receive forced treatment?"
Huo Jinxi turned to look out the window and said slowly, "Maybe I should have taken this step a long time ago."
Rong Heng listened and whispered: "After all these years, it might as well try another method. Although no one can predict the outcome, maybe everything will get better?"
Huo Jinxi still looked out the window and did not answer.
Rong Heng paused and said nothing more.
When something like this happened, it was already difficult enough for Huo Jinxi to make such a decision. No amount of relief would be superfluous to him.
It seemed that Rong Heng knew that Huo Jinxi had always been strong in heart and would not be crushed by such a thing.
…
When we arrived at the hospital again, it was already afternoon.
When Huo Jinxi left, Mu Qian was the only one in Qi Ran's ward, but now, Mr. Huo and Lu Yuan were both there.
Huo Qiran had woken up and was nestling quietly in Mu Qian's arms. Lu Yuan and Mr. Huo were sitting next to him, trying their best to make him laugh.
The tablet in Lu Yuan's hand was playing Huo Qiran's favorite program. Lu Yuan adjusted the program content for him while explaining to attract his attention, but Huo Qiran remained unmoved.
It wasn't until Huo Jinxi entered the door and Huo Qiran saw Huo Jinxi that the expression on his face changed.
"It's finally here." When Mr. Huo saw him and Rong Heng, he didn't say much. He just said, "Qi Ran can't see you when he wakes up. He has been thinking about you."
Huo Jinxi looked at Huo Qiran's still pale face, walked slowly to the bed, bent down and gently held his little hand, "Dad wanted to deal with some things while you were asleep, so he walked away for a while.
Thinking of you waking up so soon...does your hand still hurt?"
When the hand was mentioned, Huo Qiran shrank slightly, and then nodded slightly.
He was still scared, but Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian were both there, which seemed to be the source of his sense of security——
Huo Qiran leaned in Mu Qian's arms, holding Huo Jinxi's hand with his other hand and refusing to let go for a long time.
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Qiran's movements, then turned away slightly without saying anything.
