Chapter 349: The Wicked Need the Wicked
"Well, that's ...... Actually, if you can accept it, I think having three children can also be considered - after all, our genes are so good, having a few more is to contribute to mankind. β
Fang Ruoning shrank his neck in fright, "You are so narcissistic that you can't be saved!" β
President Huo, who has never experienced a woman's birth, only thinks that the child is the crystallization of the love between the two at this time, and it doesn't hurt to have a few more.
And six months later, when he witnessed the scene of a woman giving birth, he was so frightened that he immediately changed his mind and said that he would never give birth again.
Huo Lingxiao's right arm was injured, eating has always been a trouble these days, Fang Ruoning saw him sitting still, just watching himself eat, and immediately sent Mao Xuewang, who was about to be fed to his mouth, to his mouth again.
The man shrank back in fright and looked at her with a frown, "What are you doing?" β
"Hey you!"
"What is this, I don't eat it." He lowered his eyes and looked at it, his expression disgusted.
"You don't know what you ordered?"
"I'll just explain that I want to have a heavy taste."
"......" Fang Ruoning glanced at him, "You're just talking hard!" β
The man smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you women like heavy tastes when they are pregnant?" Like sour, spicy and ......"
"It seems that you know a lot about women's pregnancy!" Mrs. Huo is not profound.
Huo Lingxiao laughed helplessly, "I'll call back and ask." β
"Asked?"
"Yes! Although Xuanxuan is five years old, it is the first time for me to take care of a pregnant woman, and I have no experience, so I have to ask someone to come over. β
It turned out that he still had this heart, and the woman curled her lips and smiled, and her heart was very useful.
"Hurry up! Mouth! I can't lift my arms! β
Although Huo Lingxiao didn't have too much turtle hair in terms of eating, it was also light and healthy, and he wanted to sneeze just by looking at the dishes on this table, let alone let him eat them......
"If you like to eat, eat more, I'll wait a while-"
"What a word! I'm so hard pregnant, so I'll let you eat something with me, how do you grind and chirp! β
"......" The man was stunned, his eyes wandered back and forth between his wife and Mao Xuewang, and asked, "Isn't it spicy?" β
The woman seemed to have discovered a new world, "Are you afraid of spicy? β
It's been together for so long, and she hasn't discovered this, a big man with such a hard temper is actually afraid of spicy food?
She was happy and smiled: "It's not spicy, it's delicious, you can taste it." β
She kept encouraging, but Huo Lingxiao was so enthusiastic that she had to reluctantly open her mouth.
"That's good!"
Watching him chew slowly and carefully, Fang Ruoning asked curiously, "How is it?" Not bad, right? I think it's even better than the sky-high birthday French food you treated me to at that revolving restaurant when we first met! β
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's face suddenly changed, and he looked like he was in a hurry to find water.
There was no water on the table, and his first reaction was to spit it out, but Fang Ruoning saw his intention and immediately ordered: "Don't spit it out!" Otherwise, I'll force you to eat it! β
The man wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at her with a puzzled and helpless expression.
"Hurry up, just drink this soup." Fang Ruoning saw that he really couldn't eat spicy, so he immediately helped him fill two spoonfuls of soup and handed it over.
However, the next moment, the man's face was more like he was about to explode, and his whole expression turned hideous after swallowing the soup, "What kind of soup is this?!" β
"Don't you know what you ordered?"
Seeing that his expression was so terrifying, Fang Ruoning tasted the soup curiously, his eyebrows were also wrinkled, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "This is hot and sour soup, traditional Sichuan cuisine." β
Huo Lingxiao couldn't understand why someone would treat chili water as soup......
It's even hotter than white wine.
His throat was on fire, and he coughed as he got up to pour water and poured a glass of water.
"Are you sure it won't affect you or your child?"
"When I was pregnant with Xuanxuan, I was like this."
"Okay." President Huo, who came back from drinking water and sat down, glanced at his wife a little scared, "You eat, I'm really-"
Before he finished speaking, the woman opposite him grabbed another piece of fish and fed it: "This boiled fish is tender and delicious, you must taste it!" β
Huo Lingxiao looked at the thick layer of red pepper floating on the boiled fish, and his throat burned again, "I-"
"Shouldn't husbands and wives have to share blessings and hardships? Now, of course, you have to eat meat together. I'm so hard with a child, what's wrong with you accompanying me to eat some unpalatable meals? β
The man saw that she was going to torture herself on purpose.
His eyebrows raised lightly, "You are very happy to watch me embarrassed like this?" β
The woman nodded: "Uh-huh!" β
President Huo hesitated for a few seconds, and finally ate like a strong man breaking his wrist!
In the next second, I couldn't help but hiss and gasped, and my eyebrows were twisted together.
Stir-fried beef with chili peppers, diced spicy chicken, spicy shrimp...... Fang Ruoning fed him personally without any leftovers and tasted all the dishes!
After a while, President Huo's thin lips had begun to become red and swollen, as if he had applied lipstick.
At this point, he regretted it a little.
"I knew that ordering these heavy dishes would hurt me in the end, so I should have ordered Western and French food...... Where is this what people eat. β
Fang Ruoning looked at his funny and funny appearance, his appetite inexplicably improved, he gasped while hissing, drank water, and glared at him: "Western and French food is expensive and troublesome, where is Chinese food good, I have been abroad for a few years, and I can't love Western food." β
Speaking of expensive French food, Huo Lingxiao remembered what she had just said, and smiled with big red lips, "Do you remember when we first met, and I customized a birthday dinner for you when we were on a business trip." β
"Of course I do." Fang Ruoning raised his eyebrows proudly, and said while eating, "That is the first time I have eaten in a revolving restaurant, and I still eat such an expensive meal, I remember eating white truffles that night, I thought to myself, is this person so rich and hand-burning, just such a luxurious meal......"
Huo Lingxiao smiled, "It's your birthday." β
"Yes! You schemed so much that you slept with me at night. β
Speaking of this, the man smiled mysteriously, "That night, you don't know how happy I was, I didn't expect that I could wait for you in this life." β
Fang Ruoning looked at his sly and ambiguous smile, understood the deep meaning, glanced at it and said, "But I didn't know anything at the time, I didn't know that I had slept with youβoh no, stronger than you, and I didn't know that you were Xuanxuan's father." β
It was probably the word "strong" that made him unhappy, and the man's face suddenly sank, "I was deliberately retaliating against you and punishing you that night, don't you know?" β
The topic of "......" became more and more crooked, and after Fang Ruoning realized it, he suddenly stopped talking.
Huo Lingxiao knew that she was embarrassed, and immediately laughed.
"Laugh what a laugh!" Mrs. Huo was annoyed and angry, and deliberately took a chopstick of red pepper from the boiled fish and fed it to him, "You can't waste food!" Eat it all for me! β
Huo Lingxiao looked at the red pepper and complained: "You are murdering your husband!" β
The two were still bargaining, and Huo Lingxiao's mobile phone rang.
took it out and saw that it was Chen Hang calling, and he immediately turned positive: "Hey, Chen Hang." β
"Mr. Huo, Li Quan is showing signs of awakening, and the doctor is going in to check."
"Really? Then I'll go right over. β
Before the phone hung up, he had already stood up and signaled with his eyes that he was leaving.
Fang Ruoning knew that it was Li Quan's news, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" Good news or bad news? β
The man who had already hurried to the door turned around and said, "It's good news...... I'll check it out and call you! β
After saying that, dragging the injured leg flashed faster than a rabbit! I'm afraid I'll be caught eating chili again!
"Mr. Huo, the patient's willpower to survive is very tenacious, and there are indeed signs of awakening, but because of excessive blood loss, the injury is too serious, and he can't wake up now. You can rest assured that we will pay close attention to the patient's condition and do our best to take care of it. When Huo Lingxiao arrived, the medical team had already finished examining Li Quan and was just out of the ward.
In the corridor, Li Quan's parents were anxiously waiting.
Hearing the doctor's words and learning that her son still hadn't woken up, Li's mother couldn't help crying again, hiding her face and crying.
Huo Lingxiao glanced at the second elder, then looked at the doctor, and nodded majestically and politely: "Okay, thank you, doctor, thank you for your hard work." β
"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do."
Father Li hugged his wife, and when he saw her crying again, he couldn't help but sigh and comfort: "What are you crying for, didn't the doctor say it, my son's sense of survival is very tenacious and he still persists, I believe he will wake up." β
"But I'm still worried...... I am just this son, I was sent to the army by you at such a young age, and there was no news for a few years, and I finally waited until he retired...... I don't think I need to worry about it, but now it's like thisβif my son is a good man, how can you tell me to liveβ" Mother Li cried and fell into her husband's arms, raising her hand and patting him on the shoulder.
Chen Hang's eyebrows tightened, he looked at the second elder, then at Huo Lingxiao, and said in a low voice: "Auntie has been crying for the past two days...... The Li family has this one son, and the aunt is worried...... My uncle is a tough guy, and from the time he came to the present, he has only red eyes at most, and he goes out to smoke when he feels uncomfortable. β
Huo Lingxiao nodded, and turned to the second elder.
Before he could speak first, Father Li hurriedly patted his wife who was crying bitterly in his arms, looked at Huo Lingxiao and said with a little restraint: "Mr. Huo, there is no need to say more comforting words, I understand what kind of character my own son is, it is absolutely impossible for him to die without saving him, even if he risks his life, he will not hesitate." So, I don't blame you, I don't blame your wife. β
Huo Lingxiao did want to comfort a few words, but when he heard this, his thoughts turned around, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for your magnanimity, I won't say much about that comfort, please rest assured, no matter what happens to Li Quan in the future, I will be responsible for it to the end, and I will take care of your second elder's life in the future." β
When Father Li heard this, he was slightly surprised, "Mr. Huo, this-"
"Li Quan is my brother, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength now, taking care of your second elder is what I should do."
Father Li was a little excited, and smiled: "Then I will thank you in advance." β
"You're welcome."
Huo Lingxiao still had something to deal with, so he left first after saying goodbye to the second elder.
*
In the ward, Fang Ruoning was a little sleepy after lunch, Huo Lingxiao called and said that he was going to meet the representatives of the Griffith family to discuss the company's equity issue, and come back to the ward later.
However, I didn't sleep long before my phone rang and I started singing.
Looking at the caller ID, it was actually the phone number of Fang Bingguo, who had not been contacted for a long time.
Sitting up, she stared at the phone and suppressed the faint disgust in her heart, and calmly picked up: "Hey." β
"Ruoning, are you still in the hospital?" Fang Bingguo's attitude sounded good, and he looked like a loving father and amiable.
However, she had been hospitalized for so long before he called, this amiability was also unconvincing, and she intuitively believed that Fang Bingguo must have something to find her.
"Well, I'm still in the hospital, and I'll be discharged in two days."
"I heard, you're pregnant again?"
"Hmm."
Fang Bingguo smiled, "The Huo family is so happy, right?" They are a wealthy family that likes to have many children and grandchildren, have you ever checked whether the fetus is male or female? They will definitely like boys, and they will be good for boys to inherit the family business in the future. β
Fang Bingguo's words were originally intended to flatter, but he didn't please the right place.
How could Fang Ruoning care whether the fetus was male or female, and how could she force that it must be a boy, this patriarchal thinking made her disgusted when she heard it.
"What are you calling me for? Let's get straight to the point. Greetings and care are not suitable for their father and daughter, she still likes to go straight and get straight to the point.
Fang Bingguo smiled wryly, "That...... I do have something I want to ask for your opinion on. β
"Say it."
"That's right...... Didn't Xu Meihui and I divorce, and it involves the custody of your brother. Xu Meihui refused to give me the child, saying that if I wanted custody of the child, I would have to give her five million ...... at once."
Fang Ruoning's face was suddenly shocked, and he sneered in his heart, sure enough, he asked for money as soon as he called.
Such a father is undoubtedly a parasite on her body, and he has to suck her blood dry!
The opening is five million......
As if hearing her sneering, Fang Bingguo immediately said again: "However, I bargained with her, and finally talked about two million." β
"As long as two million, the custody of your brother will belong to me, and she promises not to come to contact the child from now on - Ruoning, I read the report, and I know it all, the Griffith family gave up the acquisition of the Huo family, and you are still at the helm of the Huo family, so these two million are ...... for you"
Fang Ruoning didn't speak, and listened to him quietly, wanting to see how many incredible remarks he could say!
How can there be such a father in the world, who never thinks about his daughter, only treats his daughter as an ATM, as toilet paper to wipe his buttocks, never reflects on his words and deeds, and doesn't want to think about whether he is worthy of being a father!
"Two million is also an astronomical amount for me, I don't go to work now, I have no income, and my previous savings have been almost squeezed out by you, and I don't have two million in my hands." Unable to bear it, she unceremoniously interrupted the side and directly refused this ridiculous request.
However, Fang Bingguo still did not give up.
"You don't have two million, but the Huo family does...... Huo Lingxiao is so good to you, you gave birth to a son for him, and now you are pregnant with another, you have contributed so much to their Huo family, it is not too much to ask him for two million, right? We are all a ......."
"Fang Bingguo!" Listening to his increasingly indignant remarks, Fang Ruoning couldn't bear it anymore, and called his father by his name, "What do you think of me?" Do you think I'm a fertility machine? Using children as bargaining chips to make an offer to their family? β
She suddenly raised her tone, startling Fang Bingguo over there, and squeaked for a while without speaking.
Fang Ruoning stroked his forehead with one hand, thinking that he couldn't be angry about the current situation, otherwise he would hurt the baby in his belly, so he had to close his eyes again and force himself to calm down, don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry.
"Fang Bingguo, there is a limit to my tolerance for you, you gave birth to me and raised me, but you also brought me endless harm, I can grow up to what I am today, relying on myself, not your education and guidance for me. I will provide for you for the elderly, and you have done your best, you don't want to make an inch! β
"Ruoning, you can't say that!" Fang Bingguo saw that his low plea was useless, and gradually his attitude hardened, "Since you know that I gave birth to you and raised you, then you should understand how heavy this favor is, if I didn't spend money for you to study abroad, you can become a barrister?" Can you make the Huo family take a fancy to it? Besides, you have the ability now, and I don't embarrass you much, two million is not worth mentioning to you, you are so stingy where you look like the eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, you will be laughed at when you spread it-"
Fang Ruoning kept hinting that she couldn't be angry or angry, but listening to these indignant and crazy words, she still couldn't help it, and finally hung up the phone without waiting for the other side to finish.
The mobile phone was thrown aside, she covered her face with both hands, thinking that she was not a child of the Fang family, not a daughter of Fang Bingguo......
In a moment, she even thought viciously, why didn't such a father go to Hades earlier to report, what else could he do when he was alive but disgusting people?
After a while, her emotions calmed down a little, she thought of Fang Bingguo's words, and remembered another thing, picked up her mobile phone again, and called Chu Junzhong.
"Hey, Ruoning?"
"Junzhong, are you convenient to answer the phone now?"
"Tell me something." For her, Chu Junzhong would not let her wait no matter what.
"That's the case, I want to ask about the case between Li Yuanyuan and Xu Chenggongββ"
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this? Didn't the doctor tell you that you need to have a good baby now, what are you worried about? The trial of the case had already ended, and Xu Chenggong was serving his sentence in prison, and she suddenly asked, which made Chu Junzhong a little puzzled.
Fang Ruoning sighed helplessly: "I don't want to worry about these either...... But just now my father called me and said that Xu Meihui ...... is Xu Chenggong's eldest sister, who competed with him for custody of the child, and was willing to give up the child after asking for two million, and he asked me for this money...... I suddenly thought of the Xu family's lawsuit. β
Chu Junzhong smiled speechlessly, "You father...... It really takes the ugliness of human nature to the extreme. β
Fang Ruoning smiled silently.
"Xu Chenggong was sentenced to five years for extortion, illegal business, gathering crowds to fight, and committing crimes again during the probation period. I also met her at the time of the trial, they disobeyed the verdict and wanted to appeal, but it was dismissed, and I don't know how to deal with it now-"
It turned out that Xu Chenggong was sentenced to five years, and Fang Ruoning suddenly understood why Xu Meihui opened her mouth to blackmail Fang Bingguo, and she wanted to take the money to find a way to get her younger brother out as soon as possible.
It's ruthless enough to say, her young son is not as good as her giant baby brother who is in his twenties, and she really wants to wonder if this son is her own.
"Okay, I see, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm still busy here, so I'll talk when I have time. β
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ruoning was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask him about Feng Xuejing.
In the past few days, she has asked her best friend, but she is silent and doesn't know what it means.
She was hospitalized and had a safe baby, and it was inconvenient to go out to find her.
*
Fang Bingguo was hung up, and he was immediately angry, and his mobile phone was thrown to the floor.
On the other side of the sofa, Xu Meihui squinted and said sneeringly: "I didn't want it, did I?" I said you father, you are really a failure, your wife can't control it, your daughter can't control it, what can you do? β
Fang Bingguo raised his eyes angrily, glared at her and said, "You are no longer my wife, don't put gold on your face." β
"Heh, okay...... Whatever your old man says, in short, I can take the money. Your Fang family is the only seedling, if you don't redeem him, I will take him to change his name and surname to marry another man, so that your Fang family will be cut off from children and grandchildren! You're this age, and you're sick again, it's not easy to have another one, right? What's more, you don't have money to support you when you are born! β
Fang Bingguo's face was lost when he was hit by her, and he was furious: "Xu Meihui, my son is mine, don't you want to take it away!" β
"Then you give the money!" The woman spread her palms and looked at him.
"...... money" Fang Bingguo muttered, thinking left and right, "You go to the dead girl to ask for money, she has money." β
"Oh, you fool me! You can't get it, can I get it? I'm looking for her, but I'm not asking her for money. β
Fang Bingguo raised his eyes in confusion, "What do you mean?" What are you looking for her for? β
The woman smiled coldly, "You care about me!" We don't have anything to do with each other now, and you don't have to worry about me. β
"Heh, you and I are willing to worry!" Fang Bingguo was also not polite, looked at the time and saw that it was not early, and immediately said impatiently, "You hurry up, don't come here again in the future!" β
"Will you come? Didn't you say you wanted to see your son, so I brought it to you? β
Speaking of his son, Fang Bingguo looked at the little boy who was still playing with toys on the carpet in the side hall, his face softened, and he looked at the woman and discussed: "You leave the child for a few days, I live here well and eat well, so I don't have to suffer with you." β
Xu Meihui got up with her bag and said slowly: "There is a good saying, I don't think I'm a female ugly dog or a poor family, although I don't have money or a big house now, but I'm his own mother after all, and he's willing to follow me to suffer and suffer." β
"Besides, what if your son lets you here, what if you send him away and hides him? Then won't my two million be wasted? β
