129 A greeting gift for a mother-in-law-to-be
At today's family banquet, Huo Wen'an only invited Huo Canghai and Huo Yunsheng, as well as Mrs. Huo, who ran crazy early.
Although there are not many people, Uncle Xia still attaches great importance to today's family banquet, this is the first meal that the future helmsman and the helmsman's family will eat, and he does not dare to take it lightly.
Before dawn, the kitchen was busy, preparing the dishes.
An electric car, parked at 11 a.m. punctually in the parking area outside the estate.
The driver opened the car door for Huo Yunsheng, Huo Yunsheng bent down and stepped out of the car, buttoned up his suit, looked up, and looked at the three gray-black ancient buildings behind the city wall, A complicated color flashed in his eyes.
Huo Yunsheng took an entourage, and as soon as he crossed the gate of the city wall, he saw a man wearing a butler's uniform standing in front of him. "The housekeeper of the Lao Fu Court has come to answer in person."
The housekeeper who came to pick up Huo Yunsheng was named Shenyin Ting, and he was the number two person in the housekeeper team of Huo Wen'an's mansion. He is in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the mansion and the preparation of large-scale events.
Seeing that Shen Yinting had been staring behind him, Huo Yunsheng couldn't hold back his expression, and he lowered his eyes and explained, "The eldest lady has something to do, and she can't come over for the time being." β
Huo Yunsheng and Mrs. Huo had already slept in separate beds, each passing their own lives, and they didn't know each other's movements.
He didn't know that Mrs. Huo came to the helm mansion early in the morning to make trouble.
Shenyin Ting pierced Huo Yunsheng's disguised Taiping on the spot, "Mr. Big, in order to hear about Young Master Bei, the eldest lady came to the helm's mansion early in the morning to make trouble with the helm, and pinched the helm's neck and shouted and scolded him why he didn't die."
Shen Yinting reminded Huo Yunsheng expressionlessly: "I'm not in a very good mood at the helm at this time. β
Huo Yunsheng's forehead was about to sweat.
He walked towards the Divine Hidden Court, suppressed his voice, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, the eldest lady almost strangled the helm?" β
Shen Yin Tingmu nodded with a wooden face.
Huo Yunsheng's legs were a little weak. "It's crazy!"
At this moment, the Divine Hidden Court caught a glimpse of a car driving towards this direction, and he immediately stood up straight and respectfully greeted the car. Huo Yunsheng turned around and saw his father's car.
The car stopped steadily, and Shen Yinchun took the lead in getting out of the car and opened Huo Canghai's wheelchair.
The entourage carried Huo Canghai out of the car and respectfully placed him in a wheelchair.
Shen Yinchun pushed Huo Canghai towards Huo Yunsheng and Shen Yinting, and when he saw Huo Yunsheng, but he didn't see his eldest daughter-in-law, Huo Canghai's face was full of anger, "What about the eldest lady?" β
Huo Yunsheng's back was sweating, he glanced towards the main building, and lied: "Jinyun came over early in the morning, maybe he was helping with the cooking." β
Hearing this, Huo Canghai's expression of wanting to eat people became more easy-going.
Shen Yinchun pushed Huo Canghai towards the main hall, and Huo Yunsheng hurriedly chased after him.
Approaching the main hall, Huo Canghai saw Huo Wen'an sitting on the observation deck outside the hall basking in the sun, and noticed that Huo Wen'an's complexion was more ruddy than a few days ago, and his ugly face looked much better.
"Why are you alone?" Huo Canghai glanced inside the house, but didn't see Xu Xingguang, so he squeezed Huo Wen'an: "Where's your baby pimple?" β
Huo Wen'an closed his eyes, lazily, and replied, "Cook for me in the kitchen." β
Hearing this, Huo Canghai's tense expression relaxed a lot.
Huo Yunsheng hurriedly praised: "Miss Xu is quite virtuous, not only has excellent medical skills, but also can cook." There aren't many little girls who can cook now. β
In normal times, Huo Wenan used Huo Yunsheng as air, and he didn't want to deal with him at all. But he was in a good mood today, not only rewarded Huo Yunsheng with an approving look, but also took the initiative to answer his words.
Huo Wenan said: "There are actually many good girls, but good girls should be matched with good men, like my father, when I see a scumbag who loves one, it is strange to meet a virtuous and capable good girl." β
Huo Yunsheng: "."
Huo Yunsheng looked at his old father with a resentful gaze, as if he was complaining, and said to Huo Canghai: "Father, listen, why is this kid Wen'an talking so harshly?" Did he scold his father like that? β
Huo Canghai asked him rhetorically: "Is there such a father and husband as you?" β
Huo Yunsheng immediately became dumbfounded.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Song Chi and Zheng Lie coming from the wine cellar, Huo Wenan suddenly said to Huo Yunsheng: "Later, a nurse will come to draw blood for you and do a laboratory test, don't run around." β
"What test?" Huo Yunsheng thought of Xu Xingguang's superior medical skills, and suspected that he was suffering from some terminal illness, which Xu Xingguang saw with the naked eye. He suddenly became nervous, and asked uneasily, "Miss Xu thinks I'm sick?" β
Huo Canghai also raised his eyelids.
Obviously, no matter how wasteful Huo Yunsheng is, Huo Canghai has always been full of love for this eldest son.
Shaking his head, Huo Wenan said, "Paternity test." β
Hearing this, Huo Canghai knew what was going on, but Huo Yunsheng, who was the person concerned, felt inexplicable.
"Paternity test? Me? His thinking was more out-of-the-box, he subconsciously looked at Huo Canghai, and said in shock: "Father, am I not your child?" β
Huo Canghai scolded: "Idiot! β
Huo Wen'an also closed his eyes.
It's stupid.
Huo Yunsheng finally came back to his senses, "Wen An." Huo Yunsheng cautiously looked at Huo Wen'an's face, and asked nervously, "Could it be that another child came to Shenyin Island to confess to me?" β
Huo Yunsheng has too many peach blossoms, even if he pays attention to contraception, it is inevitable that there will still be fish that slip through the net.
Huo Qinyou's woman can calculate him, but other women are also calculating him.
Huo Wen'an snorted, "You'll find out later." β
Huo Yunsheng was like sitting on pins and needles.
While several people were talking, Song Chi and Zheng Lie had already walked over. Zheng Lie hugged the red wine and asked Huo Wen'an: "Helm, the wine has been taken, do you need to chill it in advance?" β
Huo Wenan said, "Yes." β
Hearing this, Huo Canghai said: "Your body is not suitable for drinking ice. β
"Starlight likes it." Huo Wenan said.
Huo Canghai snorted coldly, "It's useless!" "A man was actually pinched like this by a woman.
"If you have a chance, then you can move out of Lanyue Palace." Huo Wen'an laughed at Huo Canghai: "The entire Shenyin Island, who has your old man Huo's infatuation?" Guarding your little princess all day long, you have a chance? β
"Bastard, how do you talk to me!" Huo Canghai raised the cane in his hand, but the force that fell on Huo Wen'an's leg was very light.
Huo Yunsheng looked at it, a little envious in his heart.
Huo Wen'an, this kid, has the courage to reprimand his father in person.
Soon, the nurse came.
Huo Wenan asked the nurse to draw Huo Yunsheng's blood first, and then asked Uncle Xia to bring Song Chi over.
Huo Yunsheng saw Uncle Xia walking over with Song Chi, his pupils trembled, and when he thought of something, his eyes were full of astonishment when he saw Song Chi.
After Huo Wen'an's hints, Huo Yunsheng looked at Song Chi again, and felt that Song Chi seemed to be his own species. He felt incredulous, and he asked Song Chi, "Child, who is your mother?" β
He had to think about whether he knew Song Chi's mother or not.
Song Chi shook his head, "I don't remember." β
Huo Yunsheng frowned slightly, and asked him again: "How old are you this year?" β
Song Chi still said the same thing: "I don't remember." β
Huo Wen'an relieved Song Chi and said: "Song Chi has a memory loss and doesn't remember his past, but he used to be a member of Rashomon. β
As soon as these words came out, Huo Yunsheng and Huo Canghai were silent.
Rashomon.
After the Rashomon master killed the heirs of the 100 chaebol families, he recorded those bloody and brutal scenes, made them into CDs, and sent them to major families
Huo Yunsheng and Huo Canghai watched the video and watched their beloved son being ruthlessly assassinated, but they couldn't do anything. That sense of powerlessness, a sense of despair, they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
If Song Chi is really the child kidnapped by Rashomon from Shenyin Island, then he is very likely to be the child that Huo Qinyou secretly gave birth to back then. That is, the illegitimate child who was mistaken by Mrs. Huo as her own child and carefully taught her for five or six years by her side, Huo Wenguang!
Thinking of this, Huo Yunsheng subconsciously looked up at the second floor of the main hall.
If Mrs. Huo knew about this, she didn't know how fierce it would be.
"It can't be." Huo Yunsheng was very resistant to touching the truth, he was afraid that Song Chi was really that child, then his return would completely stimulate Madame Huo.
More than 100 years ago, under the leadership of the Huo family, all continents jointly resisted foreign enemies, calmed down civil strife, and finally established the Xia Kingdom Alliance Government. Mrs. Huo's name is Xie Jinyun, and the Xie family where she is located is the one with the greatest sacrifice and the highest merit in the alliance army.
When the old man of the Xie family was alive, he was named the general of Zhenguo by the Xia State Alliance government.
The Xie family's influence in the Xia Kingdom is on a par with the Xiahou family. If Mrs. Huo is really crazy, Huo Yunsheng is really not good at giving her mother's family an explanation.
Huo Yunsheng said upsetly: "The master of the Rashomon Gate has already killed those children, and he also made a video and sent it to Shenyin Island. My father and I have seen that video. β
Huo Yunsheng looked at Song Chi's face and insisted: "You are not Huo Wenguang!" β
Huo Yunsheng wrote disgust and indifference on his face.
In this regard, Song Chi reacted very calmly.
He stretched out his arm and obediently cooperated with the nurse to draw blood.
After drawing blood, he held down the cotton swab ball and told Huo Yunsheng with an indifferent face: "I agree to take blood and do a paternity test with you, just to find out my own life experience." But that doesn't mean I want to be your son. β
Song Chi glanced at the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said with disgust: "You and your wife are not good things, you don't even love your own son, who is rare to be your child!" β
"When you are a son, it is eight lifetimes of mold!" After scolding, Song Chi turned around and left.
Huo Yunsheng was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
But Huo Canghai suddenly said in a deep voice: "If he is really that child, then there are still doubts about the video we saw back then." β
A child who should have been killed by the master of the Rashomon Gate returned to Shenyin Island many years later. Does that mean that his Lanyue may also be alive?
Thinking of this, Huo Canghai's cloudy and old eyes faintly flashed with the light of hope.
Huo Wen'an caught the flash of light in Huo Canghai's eyes, he guessed what Huo Canghai was thinking, and said, "If I were the master of Rashomon, I wouldn't kill those little hostages easily." It is the most interesting thing to raise them, let them use them for their own use, and then use them against their families when necessary. β
Huo Wen'an stared at Huo Canghai's shaking eyes and smiled emotionlessly, "Grandpa, did you say it?" β
Huo Canghai subconsciously clenched his cane and closed his eyes.
Huo Yunsheng was shocked when he heard it.
Could it be that the little brother is really still alive?
If that's the case
Huo Yunsheng quietly looked at Huo Wen'an, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Huo Wen'an.
The father is very important to the younger brother, and as soon as the younger brother is born, he is the successor to the helm of the father's designation, and he will take the younger brother with him wherever he goes. Everyone said that Huo Canghai valued Huo Wen'an and favored Huo Wen'an, that is, they had never seen their father doting on his younger brother.
If the younger brother is really alive, as long as he comes back, Huo Wen'an will not be able to sit in this position.
What Huo Yunsheng could think of, how could Huo Wenan not think of it.
He looked at Huo Yunsheng playfully, teased at him, and suddenly looked directly at Huo Canghai.
He said in a surprising voice: "Grandpa, even if your baby bump is still alive, there is a chance that it will be raised crookedly by Rashomon." I can tolerate him returning to the Hidden Island to enjoy your family, but I must not allow him to touch my interests. β
Huo Wen'an was like a mighty and strong lion, revealing its sharp fangs and claws to the old lion king who was about to die. "Grandpa, I came to this position all my life, not to be your puppet, what I want is to completely replace you!"
"Remember what I said when we first met?" Huo Wen'an slowly stood up, wearing a scarlet red robe that made him as hideous and treacherous as a demon, "I said that one day, I will raze that battlefield!" β
Seeing that Huo Wen'an dared to expose his wolf ambition in front of his father, Huo Yunsheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
Why is he so crazy?
However, where does that battlefield refer to? Didn't Huo Wen'an be brought out of prison by his father?
And in the distance, Uncle Chun and Uncle Xia were also so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
On the other hand, Huo Canghai did not have the anger of being provoked by authority, but looked at Huo Wen'an with admiration, and praised: "You are like this, but you have a bit of the blood of my youth." β
Since his father's death, Huo Canghai has been driven out of Shenyin Island and has grown wild outside. In order to kill back Shenyin Island and regain what belongs to him, he paid a great price.
Looking at the young Huo Wen'an, Huo Canghai felt like he saw the young and proud self he used to be.
At this moment, Xu Xingguang's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the rivalry between the old and the young. "It's time to eat, Brother Drunk."
Huo Wen'an instantly retracted his anger, he slumped back into his wheelchair softly, and said to Xu Xingguang: "My head hurts, you help me rub it." β
Xu Xingguang knew that he was acting, but he still came over cooperatively and helped him tap the acupuncture points on his head.
Huo Canghai thought of something, and suddenly asked Xu Xingguang: "Miss Xu, why do you only see you, Wen An's mother?" "Didn't she come over early in the morning to help cook?
Xu Xingguang pretended to be confused, "I didn't see it." β
Huo Yunsheng was a little nervous.
I heard Huo Wen'an say: "She is not feeling well, so I asked her to go upstairs to rest." β
Huo Yunsheng was relieved at this time.
Huo Canghai snorted coldly and controlled the wheelchair into the house. At this time, Mrs. Huo was also invited down by Zheng Lie.
Mrs. Huo deliberately re-groomed, and now she looks like a graceful and wealthy beautiful woman again.
As soon as she saw Xu Xingguang, she walked over to her with a smile, held her hand, and greeted her very affectionately: "Miss Xu, on the day you came to the island, Wen An's condition was urgent, you were busy saving people, and we didn't have time to talk." β
Xu Xingguang deliberately changed into a purple long skirt today, which made her skin look like clotted fat, and her skin could be broken by blowing.
Mrs. Huo praised her: "How old is Miss Xu this year?" It looks so young, this face is so tender that it can pinch out the water. Your skin is so good, so smooth and fair, like a freshly boiled egg. β
"Miss Xu is not only beautiful and has excellent medical skills, I heard that you are also a young and promising writer, and you can also play the piano well! Let's hear this kid, there's nothing outstanding about it. With such an excellent and powerful girl as you, it is he who has climbed high. β
This information was all found on the Internet by Mrs. Huo in her room just now.
To be honest, when she knew that Xu Xingguang was so good, she really felt that Huo Wenan was not worthy of Xu Xingguang.
Putting aside the identity of the Huo family at the helm, what else does Huo Wenan have to offer?
He has no education, no special skills, even if he is sick, his personality is still very brutal, and he is several years older than Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang can take a fancy to Huo Wen'an, it is really Huo Wen'an's shit luck.
When Xu Xingguang heard these words, he was so embarrassed that his toes shrunk.
The more Mrs. Huo praised her, the more indifferent Xu Xingguang became, because she knew that Mrs. Huo was only doing all this for that Huo Wenbei.
Xu Xingguang quietly withdrew her hand from Mrs. Huo's palm, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mrs. Huo praises me, I am very happy." But you said that Brother Drunken is not very good and is not worthy of me, please forgive me for not being able to recognize this. β
Mrs. Huo was slightly stunned.
Huo Yunsheng and Huo Canghai invariably focused on Xu Xingguang.
Huo Wen'an smiled softly.
Xu Xingguang does not allow anyone to belittle Huo Wenan's value and deny Huo Wenan's excellence, especially since this person is Huo Wenan's biological mother.
Xu Xingguang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and she said to Mrs. Huo: "I have known Brother A Zui since I was very young, his adoptive mother treated him badly, beat him, abused him, starved him, and even chained him. She raised Brother Drunk as an animal, but Brother Drunk grew into an excellent and upright child by relying on his firm heart. β
"He has excellent grades, respects his elders, and cares for his peers. Even, after knowing the true purpose of his adoptive mother stealing from him, he couldn't bear to see his adoptive mother exposed to the wilderness. β
"In order to invite laborers from Cangshan Town to bury his adoptive mother, he went from house to house to kneel and kowtow."
Because he has no power and no place to avenge his grievances, in order to avenge his mentally retarded sister who was bullied by bad people and unexpectedly pregnant, he should have taken the high school entrance examination, but he could only break into the jackal's den at night with a dagger. In the end, he ruined his future and lost his life. β
"Aside from the identity of being at the helm, he really doesn't have any outstanding results. But he could have been a very good person. β
"Mrs. Huo." Staring at Mrs. Huo's distracted eyes, Xu Xingguang said angrily: "You only see your suffering, you can only feel your pain, but you turn a blind eye to what happened to your own son." Obviously, the person who hurt you so much is your flowery husband and the vicious Huo Qinyou, but you count your resentment on the most innocent children. β
"Have you ever thought that he was raised by Huo Qinyou, a madman, and he could still be so filial and excellent. If he had been by your side since childhood, educated by you, and cared for by you, what would he be like now? β
Speaking of this, Xu Xingguang smiled, his eyes crimson with a smile.
She felt sorry for Huo Wen'an.
Xu Xingguang muttered sadly: "Then he must be the genius son you can't help but be proud of when you mention it, after all, he has excellent grades, he has a good character, he is filial and kind, and he is handsome."
Mrs. Huo listened in amazement, tears falling from her eyes.
But this time, she didn't seem to be crying for herself.
"Mrs. Huo, I know that you don't actually hate Huo Wen'an, what you really hate is yourself." Xu Xingguang's eyes were full of pity when she looked at Mrs. Huo, and she said sadly: "I think you must have been ecstatic when you knew that your own son was still alive. Maybe you also sent someone to Cangshan Town to investigate your own son's past. β
"When you learn what a miserable life he lives in Cangshan Town, your heart must be bleeding. When you learn that your child has excellent grades and has been valued by the principal of Yujiang City Key High School, you must be both happy and painful. β
"Why don't you suffer? That's your child, he can obviously follow you, live a carefree life, receive the most high-end elite education, and become the best youth in the world. β
"But Hochin ruined him."
"What is most painful for you is not that Huo Qin has ruined your son, but that you have loved the culprit's dirty blood as a baby pimple for several years!"
"What you really hate is not Huo Qinyou, nor your bastard husband, but yourself! You hate yourself for not protecting your child, so when you planned to drag Huo Wenan to die together, you suddenly relented, and you asked him so painfully why he didn't die in Cangshan Town! β
After speaking, Xu Xingguang turned to look at Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wenan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Xingguang felt very sorry for Huo Wen'an like this, she told Mrs. Huo: "Huo Wen'an has many ways to destroy you, but he still let you go, are you really afraid of the world's eyes?" Afraid of being poked in the back? β
Mrs. Huo wiped away her tears, confused and painfully asked, "Why is that?" β
"Because, he still loves you." Xu Xingguang himself refused to admit it, but this was the real reason why Huo Wenan did not kill Mrs. Huo.
"He hates you, hates you for being partial, hates you for reversing black and white without knowing right and wrong, hates you for being ruthless and unjust, hates you for being cowardly and despicable. But he still loves you, because, from the day he knew that he was stolen by Huo Qinyou, and not abandoned by his biological parents, he secretly loved you in his heart. β
It is said that a mother's love for her child is the greatest and most selfless love in the world. But some children, their love for their mothers is just as deep. β
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo was stupid.
She looked at Huo Wen'an with teary eyes, and for a while, her heart was numb.
Huo Yunsheng, who was standing on the side and listening to the whole process, was also extremely complicated. He looked at Huo Wen'an's eyes as if he was looking at a stranger.
Until this moment, he had not read this son.
Huo Wen'an suddenly said: "Zheng Lie, send Mrs. Huo back, she is like this, and it is not suitable for her to stay and eat." "He originally planned to threaten Mrs. Huo to be a 'good mother-in-law', at least to leave a good memory for Xu Xingguang, who was a guest for the first time.
But Xu Xingguang knows everything, so there is no need to deliberately create the illusion of family harmony.
Zheng Lie nodded, and half-pulled and half-dragged Mrs. Huo away.
"Wait!" It was Xu Xingguang who shouted Zheng Lie.
Zheng Lie stopped, and Mrs. Huo looked back at Xu Xingguang and asked her, "What else is going on?" β
Xu Xingguang glanced at Song Chi, and Song Chi walked towards Mrs. Huo with a gift box and opened it in front of everyone.
Inside, it turned out to be an urn.
Mrs. Huo's expression changed drastically, "Xu Xingguang, what are you doing!" β
Xu Xingguang smiled gently, and she explained intimately: "I heard that Mrs. Huo likes to marry people the most, and my drunken brother is not dead yet, so you have found him a number of partners." It is said that gifts should be given to their liking, and I learned that Mrs. Huo has this hobby, so I deliberately followed Mrs. Huo's birthday and found a powerful gentleman to choose a good match for you. β
"Coincidentally, that uncle left three years ago, and I, as for it, spent some money to buy some of his ashes with his children." Xu Xingguang picked up the urn and handed it to Mrs. Huo, she said, "Mrs. Huo, you can take the gift and use it in the future." β
Mrs. Huo was so angry that she fainted directly.
Shenyin Island is the tiger's den in Longtan, and none of these people around Huo Wen'an are well-intentioned. Even though Mrs. Huo is a poor person, but the harm she has done to Huo Wen'an has been done, Xu Xingguang can't forgive generously.
She said that she was willing to be Huo Wen'an's knife and kill those wolves for him that he couldn't bear to kill.
Mrs. Huo is the first wolf Xu Xingguang wants to kill.
What kills people's hearts is not necessarily a knife.
The words she said earlier had broken through Mrs. Huo's psychological defense, and for the rest of her life, Mrs. Huo would live in his guilt for Huo Wen'an.
And this urn contains only the ashes of a stray puppy who was hit and killed by traffic.
