Chapter 369: Young Dreams
Wei Wuxian left a sum of money before leaving, ostensibly for Xu Qingwan to keep it, but in fact, it was specially reserved for Xu Qingwan's emergency use.
He thought that Xu Qingwan was smart and would be able to understand his intentions, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Qingwan turned out to be a dead eye, and the date of his return to China was delayed again and again because of foreign affairs, and it took a full ten years to come back.
It's a pity that what he saw this time was no longer Xu Qingwan's smiling face, and all he got was Xu Qingwan's death.
She was left on the dirty ground without dignity, her snow-white skin was full of dust and ugly marks, and the inexpensive one was shabby, so that people could tell at a glance what had happened to her.
And Huo Yao is no longer the childish child he was at the beginning, his eyes are full of coldness, although he has been beaten half dead, he still refuses to let go of his already cooled mother.
This is what Wei Wuxian looked like when he found Huo Yao, he saved Huo Yao, and buried Xu Qingwan, and wanted to raise Huo Yao in the name of his father.
But the young Huo Yao just shook his head, and after going back to the rental house, he handed a box to Wei Wuxian.
Ten years have passed, but Wei Wuxian still recognized this box at first sight, and it contained the money he had left for Xu Qingwan.
It can be seen from the dusty lock that Xu Qingwan has never touched a penny inside, although she is hard, she still keeps the promise between friends.
Wei Wuxian's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his hands trembled to hold the box, and his eyes couldn't help but think of the night Xu Qingwan was drunk and fell into his arms.
Wei Wuxian regretted it very much, he regretted that he didn't leave S City with Xu Qingwan ruthlessly, if he did that, he was afraid that what he would leave to him now would not be a cold corpse and midnight memories.
"Ah Yao, what happened?" Wei Wuxian asked tremblingly, he wanted to avenge Xu Qingwan, he wanted to know who had killed Xu Qingwan.
Huo Yao was secretive, and only after he asked for a long time did he slowly confide, "I will avenge this revenge myself." ”
After encountering the change, he did not go crazy or be disheartened, but lost the innocence of his youth.
Since then, Wei Wuxian has taken Huo Yao out of S City, carefully cultivated him, treated him as if he were his own child, and bought the NE Group in S City to be taken care of by him.
Wei Wuxian thought that a child would not have too much ability no matter how mature he was, but he looked away again, and the NE Group was thriving under Huo Yao's care, and in just a few years, it had grown from a company that was about to go bankrupt to the leading large company in S City, and the jewelry designed in it was exported overseas, and within a few years, it was a genius design work.
Only then did Wei Wuxian realize that he had never understood what Huo Yao had said.
Huo Yao said that he would take revenge himself, so he really kept working hard for revenge, his willfulness was the same as his mother's, but he was more indifferent.
As for Wei Wuxian himself, he has never entered the palace of marriage in this life, and he sincerely raises Huo Yao as a son.
After more than ten years, the news that Huo Xiao had become a vegetative person came from S City, and he, the illegitimate child who had been forgotten, suddenly changed from a weed on the side of the road to a fragrant dumpling.
The people who stayed in S City came to report that Huo Guoping was looking for Huo Yao, the illegitimate son he regarded as Cao Yao, all over the world.
Wei Wuxian sneered, thinking that Huo Guoping deserved it, the sins he did at the beginning were now reported on his son's head, he just wanted to taunt Huo Guoping with Huo Yao, but got the news that Huo Yao was going to get up and return to China.
This was the first time Wei Wuxian had quarreled with Huo Yao in so many years, and he was so angry that he smashed everything in the room, but he couldn't stop Huo Yao from returning to China.
"Ah Yao, can't you see that he just wants to use you! Once Huo Xiao wakes up, you will be kicked away like back then!" Wei Wuxian persuaded Huo Yao bitterly, he had already lost Xu Qingwan and was unwilling to lose Qingwan's child again.
What's more, this child was raised by him.
Huo Yao just pushed away Wei Wuxian's hand on him, and said lightly: "Uncle Wei, I have never forgotten my mission. This time is just the right time for me to go back, and I don't want to miss it. ”
His expression was pale, there was no cynicism in his eyes, no excitement, as if all this was expected by him.
Wei Wuxian suddenly found that he didn't understand this young man at all, and before he knew it, he had grown from a little bean to as tall as him, and the strategic ambitions in his heart were not inferior to him, and it was more likely that he was the one who contributed to this incident.
Wei Wuxian looked solemn, took two steps back, and asked in a cold voice, "Ah Yao, you tell me, is there any of your handwriting this time!"
Huo Guoping is cold-hearted, how can he remember that he once had an illegitimate child? I am afraid that in his memory, Huo Yao and Xu Qingwan have already turned into a piece of loess.
"It's just that the time has come. What he forgot, I'm just reminding him. Huo Yao replied calmly, and then he looked at Wei Wuxian again, and said, "Uncle Wei, thank you for taking care of you for so many years. It's just that I can't forget my mother's hatred, so please don't stop me. ”
With that, he walked away, as if he had been taken abroad alone, without any objects with him.
Wei Wuxian knew that he couldn't stop this kid anymore, he was already old, not to mention, he didn't have such a wish in his heart.
Revenge for Xu Qingwan.
The Wei family looked even more deserted after Huo Yao left, and Wei Wuxian sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window all day long, staring out the window blankly, listening to the news passed to him by others.
He knew that according to Huo Yao's intelligence, he would soon be able to gain the power of the Huo family, and this child had never disappointed him since he was a child.
"Qingwan, I don't know if it's right or wrong in this matter, the only thing I can do is connivance. Wei Wuxian looked down at the old box in his hand, the patterns on it had long since passed away from him, and he had changed from a young and vigorous young man to an old man, an old man who could only remember his youth.
"Uncle Wei, what's wrong with you?" An Xiaojing's voice came from the side, with a sense of youth.
Wei Wuxian realized that he had already thought about it, and he took the tissue handed by An Xiaojing and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pretending that this incident had not happened.
"It's okay, girl, Uncle Wei has to tell you something. When you are young, you have to work hard to fight for it no matter what, remember?"
An Xiaojing looked at Wei Wuxian with some astonishment, and finally nodded.
