Chapter 56: The Mystery of Origin
The days flew forward like flowing water, and the days of Huo Li's return to China had entered the countdown.
"Ma Ma look at me!" Cen Man had been on work for a day, and as soon as he put down the backpack on his shoulder, he saw Huo Mo rushing over like a small cannonball, followed by Mother Sun, who shouted at the little ancestor to slow down.
hugged his son in his arms, Cen Man kissed his little face, and Xiao Mo giggled in fear. Cen Man looked around and didn't see Mrs. Huo.
Mother Sun told her that Mrs. Huo had gone to the party, Cen Man nodded, pointed at Huo Mo's nose with her finger, and pulled him back to the room. Huo Mo dragged Ma Ma's hand and reiterated again: "Ma Ma look at me!" ”
Cen Man had no choice but to crouch down to look at him. Huo Mo proudly held his little head high, and his two chubby little hands gestured quickly.
"Xiaomo likes hemp the most."
Mother Sun couldn't help but laugh when she heard Huo Mo's immature fairy tales, but Cen Man's face turned pale as if she had been struck by lightning.
Just accompanied by Xiaomo's confession, he used the sign language of the deaf and mute.
How could Huo Mo use sign language?! Mrs. Huo didn't know how much she hated Cen Man for gesturing in front of her, so she reminded herself all the time not to make more gestures in front of her.
Huo Li was also very disgusted at first that she used sign language to express her meaning, and men who did not understand sign language were often annoyed by her random gestures, and later forced her to use pen and paper and mobile phones to "speak".
Even though society has taken a lot of care of people with disabilities, Cen Man sometimes receives a lot of strange stares when he sometimes plays sign language on the street or discusses issues with Ji Shenyan at an art museum. Some are curious, some are regretful, but more are avoided. A few times, she mustered up the courage to look back, but the other party immediately turned his gaze away like a thief.
For these anomalies, Cen Man was already numb. She was not born deaf-mute, so she can better understand the panic and avoidance of ordinary people towards deaf-mutes.
"Look at Cen Man, what is she doing?"
"Hey, is that the Cen family's 2,000 gold, why can't you speak?"
"You dumb don't point fingers in front of me."
These gossips that ran through Cen Man's life in his twenties never seemed to be so clear as at this moment, and when he thought that Xiaomo might also face what he had endured in the future, how could Cen Man not feel panic and worry.
Huo Mo has no disability, why did he learn sign language? Does Mrs. Huo know about this again? There are countless question marks in Cen Man's mind.
"Ma Ma, it was Teacher Sui who taught me, did I compare Ma Ma?" Huo Mo didn't notice Cen Man's distraction, and he was still asking for credit.
Cen Man's tongue was bitter, she couldn't blame Huo Mo, and she couldn't erase the shock when she saw Huo Mo gesticulating just now.
Sui Jing seemed to know that Cen Man would come to settle accounts with him, and he was already waiting in Huo Mo's "study room".
Cen Man got straight to the point and started sign language with Sui Jing: "You taught Xiaomo sign language on your own initiative, why did you do this?" ”
When Sui Jing communicated with Cen Man, he said that Cen Man played sign language.
But this time, Sui Jing didn't say anything, he silently replied with gestures.
"I'm helping you and your child."
Cen Man felt that this answer was ridiculous, since Sui Jing's team became Huo Mo's tutor, the other teachers were dedicated to preaching and receiving work, only Sui Jing often inexplicably disrupted the familiar rhythm, and from time to time he had to speak amazingly.
Cen Man's initial affection for this person gradually turned into doubts and doubts. Especially when it comes to Xiaomo, she seems to have infinite courage, and the cowardice of the past disappeared in an instant.
Cen Man sneered and asked Sui Jing if he knew the temper of Mrs. Huo and Huo Li. The Huo family raised Xiaomo as an heir, and having a mute mother who can't get on the stage is enough to make this child suffer, why does he still let Xiaomo learn sign language, don't you know that this will make the Huo family disgusted with the child?
Sui Jing's lips trembled, and it took a long time for him to spit out a hoarse voice: "So, are you going to deprive a child of his natural love for his mother?" ”
Cen Man bit her lower lip, she didn't want to be entangled or worried, but for the sake of Huo Mo's future, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own existence.
"Young lady, the little young master will grow up one day, and when he realizes that everyone, including himself, is ashamed of having a mother who can't speak, have you ever thought about how anxious his heart will be?"
Cen Man mourned and couldn't help but take a step back.
Sui Jing was contrary to his usual Sven, he approached Cen Man step by step, not letting her escape his eyes: "Young lady, I think that teaching the little young master to accept the reality as soon as possible will not make him feel inferior because of this, and this is still the case with a high-ranking family like you." So I'm not going to change my teaching program. If Mrs. Huo has any objections, I will explain them to her personally. ”
After Sui Jing finished speaking, he strode out of the house, and when he was about to step out of the room, he didn't look back, but gave Cen Man a heavy blow: "Young lady, although I am not very satisfied with you, today is the most disappointing day for me to come to the Huo family." ”
Cen Man's heart was in turmoil.
Huo Mo didn't know that Ma Ma was caught in the battle between heaven and man because he learned a simple sign language.
Cen Man remembered the first time he used sign language to compare "Mom and Dad" when he was a child, and the Cen couple's expressions were full of relief and deep frustration. At that moment, she suddenly felt deeply and deeply what a shameful thing her existence was for her family. But Huo Mo is different, she can't accept that her Xiaomo is also treated like this.
Before Cen Man could think of a solution, Mrs. Huo found the clue.
Sui Jing didn't seem to have any desire to hide it at all, so he let Huo Mo use sign language at home. Several other teachers are already teaching normally, except for Sui Jing, when he teaches comprehensive subjects, he uses sign language.
Mrs. Huo was at home all day, and when she was interested, she would go to watch Huo Mo go to class. It was also fortunate that the few times I audited were normal teaching.
But paper can't keep the fire after all.
Mrs. Huo once again wanted to observe the daily life of her little grandson, in Sui Jing's class.
"What is this?!" Mrs. Huo was convinced of Sui Jing's professional ability, but just now, she thought she had hallucinated. Originally, when the tutor was in class, the master could not make a sound to affect the teaching, but when Mrs. Huo saw Sui Jing and Huo Mo going back and forth in sign language, her trust in Sui Jing collapsed in an instant.
"Grandma!" Huo Mo, who was interrupted from class, was very happy to see Mrs. Huo, and pounced on him to ask for a hug. Mrs. Huo ignored her, her eyes even a little scarlet with extreme shock and anger.
Huo Mo sensed that something was wrong and didn't dare to step forward.
When Sui Jing saw this scene, he imperceptibly revealed a shallow malice, which was by no means his expression when he was preaching to Cen Man.
Huo Li didn't expect to be on the plane for so long, and he couldn't wait to get home and face a raging storm.
To his surprise, it was not Cen Man who provoked Mrs. Huo this time, but the new tutor.
Speaking of the idea of a tutor, Huo Li didn't approve of it. But considering that the heirs of the upper class seem to have always grown up like this, including himself, he is also happy with Mrs. Huo.
The name of Sui Jing's team is a well-known gold signboard in the industry, Mrs. Huo mentioned this person at the beginning, and she also expressed great pride in Huo Jianen's invitation to him, why did her mother fall out with others in the blink of an eye.
Sent away irrelevant people, and only Huo Li, Cen Man, Mrs. Huo and Sui Jing with an unknown expression were left in the huge living room.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Before Huo Li could change out of his clothes for the long trip, the servants were also kicked out of the living room, and the president, who had no one to serve, had to instruct Cen Man to make tea for everyone.
Cen Man hid in the kitchen and couldn't help but exhale, the atmosphere just now was too terrifying. She didn't know what Sui Jing said to Mrs. Huo, the first time she saw Mrs. Huo's hideous expression, it seemed that the next moment, she would pounce on and tear Sui Jing to pieces.
Mrs. Huo found out about Huo Mo's learning sign language, but she didn't seem to be mad about it. Judging from Cen Man's experience in the past few years, if Mrs. Huo knew about this matter, she would definitely quit immediately, and of course she would be angry with her, after all, because of her, Huo Mo had the opportunity to contact sign language.
Didi, the phone rings. Cen Man hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, it was Huo Li who asked her what happened. Briefly sending the ins and outs of the matter to the man, Cen Man returned to the living room with four cups of tea that were destined to go unnoticed.
"Mom, it's too late today, let's talk about something tomorrow." It's not that Huo Lixiang and the mud, Mrs. Huo's state is very wrong, and he has to think about calming people down first.
"It's not too late, President Huo, the time is just right" Sui Jing suddenly interjected, I don't know why, Cen Man felt that when he looked at people coldly, he was still a little similar to Mrs. Huo.
"Mrs. Huo, oh no, or I should call you, eldest sister."
"Shut up, you shut up for me! I'm not your big sister! Mrs. Huo jumped up from the couch like an angry lioness.
Huo Li's gaze suddenly became serious, what the hell is going on. The gold medal tutor turned into the illegitimate child of a wealthy family?
Huo Li, who was not impressed by his grandfather, was not sure if this was a romantic debt owed by the old man, but looking at his mother's attitude, it was also possible that this middle-aged man was slandering the Huo family.
"This is a DNA test report." Sui Jing threw a document from the coffee table: "Please also ask Mr. Huo to take a look." ”
Huo Li hurriedly flipped through the report a few times, and his face became ugly. Cen Man quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked silently, Huo Li nodded at her almost invisibly.
Sui Jing is really Mrs. Huo's younger brother?! Cen Man covered his mouth in surprise, and his eyes unconsciously shuttled back and forth between Sui Jing and Mrs. Huo's faces. She looked at Huo Li pleadingly, her black and white eyes written with a request that she hoped she could avoid.
Huo Li shook his head softly again.
This Sui Jing came prepared, and Cen Man, as a member of the Huo family, couldn't leave.
