At that time, the Huo family was the richest, and his eldest brother also liked to come to his house the most. He also had a very good relationship with Huo Lan's father, but her sister's family had always kept a distance.
Now it seems that the reason why her eldest brother's family is close to his family is simply because they saw that Huo Lan's father can help her in her career, while the reason why her sister's family keeps a distance is because they don't want to feel like they want to take advantage of her family.
In the end, something happened to the Huo family, and the one who really helped the mother and daughter was the sister who rarely interacted with them. This is the reality.
After hearing Mrs. Huo's words, Xiao Yihe probably knew what to do, and then said something else.
"Okay, I know what to do, but if this happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace for some time in the future. Otherwise, after Xiaolan gives birth to the child, you, her and their two children will temporarily go to Luo City to live for a while.
, you can come back after I resolve the matter in Penang."
Mrs. Huo thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"Okay, Xiaolan needs to rest during her confinement period after giving birth, so it's really not suitable to stay here in Kyoto."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huo paused, hesitated for a while, and then spoke again.
"Yi He, I know that since you have spoken, you are very sure about this matter. I have no other requirements, but after all, he is my eldest brother and the only man in the Cao family. I hope you can save his life.
.”
"Don't worry, Mom, I am sensible about this matter. In fact, Xiaolan's uncle is just an accomplice in this matter. As long as he admits his mistake, I can make him worry-free for the rest of his life."
Xiao Yihe promised, Mrs. Huo nodded, excitedly held Xiao Yihe's hand, and said with moist eyes.
"Yihe, you are a good boy. Xiaolan is lucky to meet you. After a while, you can go back with us to pay homage to your father-in-law, okay?"
"Of course, this should have been done a long time ago. After Xiaolan gives birth to the child, our family will go to worship my father-in-law. I believe that his spirit in heaven will also be comforted."
Mrs. Huo smiled with satisfaction. Now she has taken everything lightly. She doesn't ask for much now. She only hopes that her daughter can be happy throughout her life. In the past few years, her daughter has been too miserable.
After that, Mrs. Huo left the company. Originally, Xiao Yihe wanted to take her back to Su Chunjingyuan in person, but Mrs. Huo insisted not to do so, saying that it would make Huo Lan suspicious. In the end, Xiao Yihe could only arrange a driver.
After seeing off Mrs. Huo, Xiao Yihe also became busy. Since Mrs. Huo would not stop this matter, some things had to be arranged as soon as possible. Of course, for Huo Lan's health, Xiao Yihe decided to take formal action one month later.
Xiao Yihe took out his cell phone and called He Bowen.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, I've only been back for two days, can you give me a few days of leisure?"
As soon as the phone call came through, I heard He Bowen complaining on the other side of the phone. He knew Xiao Yihe too well and would never take the initiative to contact him if nothing happened.
Xiao Yihe pulled the phone away slightly and then said.
"The Penang matter is going to trouble you. Also, don't let Cao Liguo go in. This matter will start in about a month, so you can make preparations."
"Wait a minute, Xiao Yihe, you can't even say trouble now? You really regard me as your free labor force."
He Bowen complained that if he could see his expression now, he would definitely be filled with deep resentment. Those who didn't know would think he had been abandoned by someone.
"I recently got some tickets for the rugby league, which will be in ten days. I just don't have much time..."
Before Xiao Yihe finished speaking, he heard He Bowen's excited voice on the phone.
"Give me, wait, is it the Super Bowl?"
"Well, the two-day combo ticket, hotel and air tickets have been booked, plus a two-day and one-night trip to Las Vegas."
"Okay, deal is done, don't worry, leave this matter to me, but Cao Liguo's matter is a bit difficult, unless he takes the initiative to accept the investigation."
He Bowen finally returned to the topic. Xiao Yihe listened and thought for a moment. At this time, He Bowen spoke again.
"But Xiao Yihe, this doesn't seem like your style of doing things. When did you become so soft-hearted?"
"It's my mother-in-law. After all, he is her brother. I don't want to do anything too cruel."
"Hmph, you did a great job. When those people forced your wife's father, they didn't see this elder brother step forward to help him out. But I heard that after your wife's family went bankrupt, this elder brother didn't help at all.
, this kind of person should stay in there for the rest of his life to atone for his sins."
"Forget it, since it is my mother-in-law's decision, then respect her wishes. In the final analysis, it is a grudge between them and it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, I will prepare for this matter and wait for your notification when to officially take action. It seems that Penang will be transformed in a short time."
He Bowen sighed, and then heard a beeping sound from the phone. Yes, Xiao Yihe had hung up the phone.
When He Bowen saw this, he cursed and yelled.
"Xiao Yihe, you are just a bastard. I owed you everything in my previous life."
At this time, Mrs. Huo had returned to Su Chunjingyuan. Since there was no advance notice, Huo Lan was a little surprised to see her mother coming back.
"Mom, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came back so that I could pick you up at the airport?"
"I knew you would say that, that's why I didn't tell you. All the relatives in Penang who should leave have left. Calculating the days, you will give birth in less than a month. How could I not come back?"
As she said that, Mrs. Huo looked at her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for almost half a month. Her face was rosy, full of energy, and she seemed to be fatter than when she left.
Mrs. Huo walked over to support Huo Lan and said with concern.
"How is your health lately? Is the baby well behaved?"
"Mom, I'm fine, and so is the baby. I have Aunt Li here, I have a driver when I go out, and Yi He is always with me. It's much better than when I gave birth to Xiao Gua."
Huo Lan said with a smile that she is really satisfied now. She has a husband who loves her, a lovely son, and will soon have a new life. Her mother's health is getting better and better. She can now say that she is at the end of her life.
Complete.
But when Mrs. Huo heard Huo Lan's words, her expression changed slightly, and something strange flashed between her lowered eyebrows. She thought of the difficult life she and Huo Lan had in the United States, and that all of this was actually related to her brother, and she felt extremely sad.
heavy.
"Mom, are you tired from flying back? Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? I'll pick up Xiaogua from school later and go to the market to buy some vegetables. I'll call Yihe later and ask him to come too.
come back earlier."
"I'm not tired. I took a nap on the plane. I'll go with you later. I miss my sweet grandson too."
After hearing this, Huo Lan looked at her mother and saw that she was in good spirits, so she nodded, and then mother and daughter entered the villa.
At this time, Mrs. Huo thought of Xiao Yihe's instructions when she left just now, and she said something.
"By the way, you are going to give birth soon. I thought about it, let's go to Luo City to give birth. You see, it will be January soon. It is getting colder and colder here in Kyoto, and the wind and sand are strong. The climate in Luo City
It's suitable. It's more convenient for you to be in confinement. It just so happens that I also want to visit Luo City. After staying in Kyoto for a long time, my skin has become rough."
Mrs. Huo said what she had already thought of. Huo Lan was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion.
"Xiao Gua still has to go to kindergarten. What will happen to him when we return to Los Angeles? We can't leave him in Kyoto. Then he will think that we won't want him anymore after we have Xiao Bao Bao."
"Take him back with you. On the way back from the airport, I heard that a lot of people have been suffering from the flu recently. Xiaogua is so young, so it's better not to send him to school. If that doesn't work, sign him up for some training classes when we get back to Los Angeles."
Huo Lan was a little shaken after hearing this. A lot of people in Kyoto have been suffering from the flu recently. Children in the kindergarten ask for leave every day. She is indeed worried. After thinking about it, Huo Lan said.
"I'll discuss it with Yi He when he comes back tonight and listen to his opinion."
When Mrs. Huo saw Huo Lan relaxed, she also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Okay, you two should discuss it first. By the way, there are gifts prepared by your aunt in the box for the baby in your belly, as well as gifts for Xiao Gua. Your aunt still blames you for giving Zhou Qi too expensive gifts, so I persuaded you to do so.
It took a while before I accepted it."
Huo Lan listened and said with a smile.
"I promised my cousin that I would give him the latest computer from Yaoyuan Group when he gets into college. I can't break my promise. Moreover, we didn't go back to congratulate him in person after he got into college. It's already very rude."
I remembered that I met my cousin before the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that he got very good results in the college entrance examination. Originally, Huo Lan wanted him to come to Kyoto to go to university, so that he could be taken care of, but the boy went to Haishi to study instead.
"They all understand. It's not convenient for you to have a big belly. Yihe Company is so busy. We will have the opportunity to meet you in the future."
Mother and daughter were packing their luggage and chatting, but they had their own concerns. Huo Lan hesitated whether to tell her mother what was mentioned in the document she had received before, while Mrs. Huo hesitated whether or not to tell her mother.
Tell her the true cause of death of her father.
In the evening, Xiao Yihe got off work early and cooked five or six dishes with Aunt Li. The family sat together and had a lively dinner.
At the dinner table, Huo Lan told her what she had discussed with her mother in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yihe agreed without even thinking about it. Huo Lan was a little surprised by this.
"Husband, you don't even hesitate. You really want me to go to Luo City. Is this so that no one will watch you and you can do whatever you want?"
