The old house of the Huo family.

The cold moonlight flowed faintly, and the brilliance of the lights could not moderate the cold haze that filled the room. Everyone stood without saying a word, watching the butler's phone be hung up again.

"Won't come back?"

Huo Xiuyuan spoke in a deep voice, his fingers that fell on the table were already trembling slightly, and he couldn't make nearly twenty phone calls in a row to let his son go home and have an explanation.

It was obviously the entire Huo family that had a scandal, and they held a press conference in such a hurry, never thinking that Lu Nian's matter had not been resolved at all.

Now the Internet is full of praise for Fu Zhixia, and Lu Nian's reputation is ...... Because this thing is going to plummet. Even if the Huo family is the number one wealthy family in Haicheng, it will be difficult to marry the right family in the future.

Assistant Song answered the phone and said that he was still in a meeting and had no time. The housekeeper finished speaking in one breath and looked at Huo Xiuyuan's convulsive face with difficulty.

"No time, no time!"

With a "snap", the mobile phone in Huo Xiuyuan's hand was smashed to the ground, and the screen was cracked into broken flowers.

"Xiuyuan, don't be angry......

Lu Ning hurriedly ran over, trying to hold his hand but was pushed away by a force, "Look at the good daughter you taught! The Huo family's face is about to be lost by her!"

"Xiuyuan!"

Lu Ning fell to the ground, and cried in a low voice with red eyes: "This happened to a good person, don't you think there is something strange about it?" Xiao Nian is a little willful and naughty, but she won't do such a thing! You don't know, she was almost ...... This matter is clearly that someone wants to target the Huo family, can't you see it? It's just that Shao Ting is capable, and he stayed out of the matter in a blink of an eye, I always thought it was ...... I always thought that no matter how much he didn't get along with me, he wouldn't ignore the Huo family......"

"Uncle, the person who was hurt the most in this matter was Xiao Nian. She's still so young...... It is not certain whether that list is true or false, and since someone is targeting us, it is not necessarily perjury. But after the press conference, Fu Zhixia's image became positive, so in comparison...... Xiao Nian's image is even worse, I see that there are too many people scolding her on the Internet, and all the words are one-sided......"

Lu Xuening helped Lu Ning up and looked at Huo Xiuyuan's changing expression: "Uncle, let's beg Shao Ting again, shall he? He has always had an active brain, and Huo's lawyer team is so strong, there is always a way." ”

"He refuses to reply now, how can he help?" he hates me......" Lu Ning covered his lips, his eyebrows were full of pain, "He hates me so much, he doesn't care about the brother and sister relationship with Xiao Nian at all." Or in his mind, that's the best outcome. It's just that poor Xiao Nian was ruined by someone at a young age...... It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have entered the Huo family, I shouldn't have ......"

"Enough!" Huo Xiuyuan shouted, "The press conference can be held again, and this matter can be clarified again." But no matter how much she clarifies it, she is still stained. Aborted at a young age, which wealthy family in Haicheng is willing to marry?"

"......" Lu Ning bit his lip desperately, "Xiao Nian, this is framed ......"

"If she studies hard and doesn't go out with men casually, who can frame her! Even if a man spends all day drinking outside, there is a little girl who just laughs off, but she is a girl, she is different! I think it would be a shame to find a time to send her abroad and stay in Haicheng!"

"I don't want to go abroad!" Lu Nian ran out of the room, her face was pale, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, she stared at Huo Xiuyuan, her fingers grabbed the pajamas on her body, "Dad, I don't want to go abroad." I know who framed me in this matter, I know!"

The audience fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes brushed to her sickly face.

"Who?" Lu Ning shook Lu Nian's hand distressedly, "Who is it, tell Mom...... If you dare to bully my baby daughter like this, your mother will definitely call the shots for you. ”

Lu Xuening's pupils shrank, her palms couldn't help clenching, and she looked at Lu Nian for a moment.

"The first person in the whole Haicheng to know that I was pregnant was Fu Zhixia, who else could there be besides her! She obviously promised me that she wouldn't say it, but she didn't expect this woman to be so vicious. She must have taken advantage of this incident to make her eldest brother reveal her identity. Dad, as long as he can suppress his mother, his eldest brother will be willing to do anything. Otherwise, with the degree of disgust he had with this woman, how could he reveal her identity! What happened at Grandma's birthday party, we are still negotiating, aren't we?"

Lu Nian's words are very informative: first, Fu Zhixia was the first person to know that she was pregnant, and second, Fu Zhixia used this incident to not only hit Lu Nian, but also correct his position.

"So that list isn't perjury?"

Huo Xiuyuan's words made Lu Ning's face turn pale suddenly, and she was still sitting on the ground, so she crawled over to Huo Xiuyuan's feet.

"Xiuyuan, at this time, is this still the point? Even if Xiao Nian is young and ignorant, then no matter how we say it, we are all a family! The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Fu Zhixia knew about it, she didn't tell us, but she was using such a brain to stay in the Huo family. Not long ago, the company fired Zijian, all because of her!"

Lu Ning cried breathlessly, and spoke smoothly: "I don't know what this woman wants to do...... The woman who can marry into the Huo family like this is originally a powerful character, but she moved her brain to my daughter, this matter is ...... You've got to call the shots for us......"

Huo Xiuyuan was flustered by Lu Ning's crying, and Lu Xuening followed up: "Uncle, if this matter was premeditated, it would be terrible. Just like you said, the reputation of a girl's family is so important, how can such a thing be brought to the table? If Fu Zhixia had told his elders about this early in the morning, it would not have been the result of today. ”

"Even if Xiao Nian is wrong, Fu Zhixia's fault is even greater. She was pushing the entire Huo family into the fire pit for her own sake. Xiuyuan, the old lady always said that the Huo family has a family law, how to punish Xiao Nian's mistakes, I won't stop her when she gets better, since this Fu Zhixia has made her identity public, if she is not disciplined, she will not know what kind of thing to do in the future. ”

"Auntie is right. Shao Ting on the left and right doesn't take his aunt in his eyes, plus another Fu Zhixia, the days when his aunt is in the Huo family...... In the final analysis, it is because Shao Ting is in charge of the company, and everyone listens to him. Uncle, there is a saying that it is not appropriate for me as an outsider to say, but things have come to this point......"

Lu Xue Ning groaned for a while, raised her head and looked at you: "Uncle, Shao Ting hates you, you know it in your heart." It is rumored that Huo Shaoting has excellent ability, but he doesn't know that it is the foundation given to him by the Huo family. His current position in the Huo clan is as solid as a rock, and now that you haven't abdicated, you can not listen to you, so what about the future? Uncle, you are not just a son of Shao Ting......

She glanced at Lu Ning, Lu Ning lowered her eyes and whispered: "I don't care about the company's affairs, I just want to get justice for my daughter." Xiuyuan, Xiao Nian is not only my daughter, but also your daughter!"

Her eyes were sad and sad, and her tears glistened and touched. Huo Xiuyuan looked at her red and swollen face, and felt a trace of unbearability in his heart.

"Prepare the car and go to Huo's. ”

Huo Xiuyuan strode out of the house, and the housekeeper followed closely. Lu Ning watched Huo Xiuyuan walk out of the house before slowly standing up.

"Mom, I don't want to go abroad. Lu Nian threw himself into Lu Ning's arms, "I want to stay in Haicheng, I will study hard, and I won't be the same as before." Mom, you believe me......"

"I believe in you. Lu Ning touched Lu Nian's hair, "Good, hurry up and rest in the room, you just had a miscarriage, you have to take care of it well, so that you won't fall ill in the future." ”

"Xiao Nian, what do you mean when you said just now that Fu Zhixia was the first person in the entire Haicheng to know that you were pregnant?" Seeing Lu Nian lying down on the bed and covering the quilt, Lu Xuening took the tonic soup and asked casually while blowing.

"The last time I went to the old house, she said that I was pregnant, and I didn't know it myself at that time, but I didn't know about it when I went to the hospital later. I think she may know a little bit about medicine, and she can take the pulse or something. ”

"I will definitely ask Fu Zhixia to give you an explanation for this matter. Lu Ning touched Lu Nian's hand, his voice paused, and then raised again, "But you have to tell your mother the truth, who is this child." ”

- It's too late for him to dislike her, how can he still have a heart for her?

The voice in his ears really swirled, and through the crack in the door that had not yet been completely closed, Fu Zhixia saw Yang Meiling eagerly patting Fu Shuyu's back, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of distress.

It's distressing, that kind of reluctant concern, that kind of longing concern, that kind of concern that wants to make the whole world beautiful in front of it.

"Miss, you listen to Mother Yang's words, have a good rest, and soon you will be able to see Gu Gongzi again. I saw that Gu Gongzi was very good to you before, and after recognizing Fu Zhixia's face, he knew that you were better. ”

"Mother Yang knows that you are working very hard in rehabilitation, so she will prepare your favorite food for you every day, you have to always think about Gu Gongzi, and when you meet again, you will appear in front of him beautifully. ”

“......”

Fu Zhixia didn't know when she walked to the steps, and she didn't want to listen to it anymore.

The dress on her body had not changed, her high heels were still on her feet, and she was numb like a robot, mechanically repeating the action of walking up the stairs.

The stairs are so long, the steps are so high, it never feels like there is no end.

The wind blew, and the coolness made her body tremble, and her brain was much clearer.

She understood that Fu Shuyu hated her, and that was all along. With or without this incident, she hated her.

Although she didn't care about the marriage contract with Huo Shaoting, she cared about her doing well.

She didn't want her to be doing well, so why leave her alone and say those high-sounding things?

At the same time, she also understood that Yang Meiling treated her extremely disliked. All along, the most important thing in her heart is the eldest lady, not her daughter.

No wonder, in the memories that she occasionally burst out, she didn't have a good face for her. At that time, she didn't push Fu Shuyu downstairs, right?

The position of her throat was so congested that she opened her mouth, but she laughed.

I couldn't even shed tears.

Fu Shuyu woke up, and Huo Shaoting publicly recognized her position as Mrs. Huo, but she was a person with nowhere to go.

Before I knew it, I had reached the flat ground, and the night was very thick, covering the heavy earth. She looked up at the room again, and it seemed that the lights had been turned off.

The stars in the sky also disappeared, and when I looked down, I could see the elongated figure of the street lamp, bleak and sparse.

A sentence suddenly came to mind:

When you are sad, look up at the sky, the sky is so big, it will definitely be able to tolerate your grievances.

She looked up, the sky was really big, why did she feel that she couldn't tolerate it?

She pulled out a few silver needles from the belt in her arms and stabbed them precisely at the acupuncture points, the numbing sensation made her close her eyes, and sweat broke out on her forehead after a few minutes.

She'll remember everything.

A set of puncture points was completed, Fu Zhixia was already drenched in cold sweat, and she sat on the bench weakly, her eyes open tiredly.

The phone in her handbag kept vibrating, and she slowly tried to take it out, but the screen of the phone was black.

She curled up on her knees, resting her chin on her knees, staring blankly at a faintly lit mushroom lamp on the ground.

It was obviously such an uncomfortable moment, but she remembered the way Huo Shaoting lowered her head and kissed her.

At the same time, I remembered what he said to her today.

——Do you really think of yourself as Mrs. Huo and want to intervene in my life? Fu Zhixia, is your heart a little bigger?

Oh, her heart is really not that big.

Huo's.

When the high-level meeting ended, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Because of a press conference, all the work continued to move down in an orderly manner. Huo's working principle, today's things will never be delayed until tomorrow.

"Mr. Huo. Song Yin looked up at the man who was closing the computer, "Mr. Da Huo is here." ”

"Hmm. He lifted his lips lightly, and there was a dark shadow in front of him, Huo Xiuyuan stood in front of him with a serious face, and said coldly: "In the end, when you grow up, you need me to come in person when you go home." ”

"The meeting has just ended. ”

"Don't use your work to prevaricate me!" Huo Xiuyuan shouted, "Today's matter, I need you to give me an explanation." Or to put it another way, Lu Nian's matter, you can find a way for me to solve it. ”

Huo Shaoting stood up, his eyebrows pale and pale: "I can't help it." ”

"You!" Huo Xiuyuan was annoyed by his salty and indifferent appearance, "You are my son, I know you have a way! No matter what, you can't let Lu Nian's reputation be ruined like this." ”

"Did she think about her reputation before she did such a thing herself?"

"Huo Shaoting. Huo Xiuyuan couldn't bear to stand with him at any moment and couldn't have a good conversation, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, "Lu Nian is your sister after all, it's the Huo family, no matter how you are, you have to think about the Huo family." ”

"Huo's foundation is so stable, this little thing can't be shaken. ”

"Huo Shaoting!" Huo Xiuyuan slammed the table fiercely, "Do you really think that if I take a back seat, I won't be able to cure you? Let me tell you, the Huo family is still my master! You have to worry about such a trivial matter, are you still like a man? How can a person like you achieve great things!"

"At the press conference, I thought you were going to settle both things at once. Unexpectedly, you only cared about yourself, and you didn't mention Lu Nian's things at all. I think the whole thing was planned by you, right? You just want Lu Nian to lose his reputation and make your Aunt Lu uncomfortable, that's your ultimate goal!"

Huo Shaoting was slightly stunned, and then said coldly: "Whatever you think." ”

"Good. Huo Xiuyuan nodded, "I've already given you the opportunity." Over the years, your Aunt Lu has swallowed her anger in front of you, and she has said good things about you everywhere, what about you? For so many years, you have not accepted me, you have not accepted your Aunt Lu, and you have lived like the entire Huo family owes you. Let me tell you, the Huo family doesn't owe you anything, it is because of the favor of the Huo family that you have come to such a top position in the business world. ”

The huge conference room suddenly fell silent, and you could hear the sound of rain beating on the glass outside the window, and the wind blowing, lifting the pages on the table and rustling.

Huo Shaoting took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and the long green smoke surrounded his handsome and charming features, and he sneered: "The Huo family doesn't owe me anything, but you really owe her." ”

Huo Xiuyuan only felt that he couldn't breathe: "Your mother jumped off the building, she is gone, do you want me not to marry for life? You can't see someone take good care of me, do you want me to live in that shadow for the rest of my life?"

Huo Shaoting snuffed out the cigarette butt, and the green tendons on the back of his hand appeared. He raised his eyes, and the black eyes were deeper than the sharp night sky: "This sounds like you, the person who has been wronged is you?"

"Why did she jump off the building, don't you know? She has been depressed for three years, what have you been doing in those three years? Have you ever taken care of her feelings for a minute or a second or cared for her? Have you ever sat down for a quarter of an hour and listened to her talk? Have you ever cared about what she is doing every day? Have you ever cared why she is so sad and depressed!"

"I'm busy for Huo's every day, where do I have so much time!"

"Busy for the Huo family?" Huo Shaoting hooked his lips coldly, his elite eyes were cold and sharp, "The Huo family's foundation was stable at that time, and there was no improvement, what are you busy with?"

"......" Huo Xiuyuan was dumbfounded, but he didn't want to continue on this topic, "Lu Nian's matter, I will reconvene the press conference, just come and inform you." Because this matter was started by Fu Zhixia, and the two of you husband and wife jointly set up a bureau, I don't want there to be more incidents on the day of the press conference, and rumors of discord within the Huo family will spread. ”

Huo Shaoting didn't seem to hear what he was saying, staring at the cigarette butt that was extinguished in front of him: "At that time, you already had a woman." You didn't stay up all night not for work, but for your extramarital affair, so you wouldn't care about her life or death. ”

"Probably, she's dead, and it's a natural thing for you. ”

Huo Xiuyuan's face turned the color of pig liver: "What nonsense are you talking about, I ......"

"My sons have already been born, what can I call nonsense?" Huo Shaoting interrupted him in a straight voice, "If it weren't for that, shouldn't you have brought him back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors a long time ago?"
