Huo Guanyuan was obviously in a state of disbelief and shock, but he was already able to control his expression and emotions, so he didn't make a sound.
Huo Shaoheng carefully observed Huo Guanyuan's expression. He thought for a moment and said, "Grandfather is still alive. However, after you left home, our family had another family with the surname Zhang."
Huo Guanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. "Zhang? Is it Head Nurse Zhang and her son and grandson? "
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips, his mind racing. "… You knew?!"
"So, you all know?" Huo Guanyuan nodded calmly. "Of course I know. Head Nurse Zhang was hiding something, but I was too lazy to expose her. But as long as I'm here, she can forget about bringing the child she secretly gave birth to into the Huo family. "
Huo Shaoheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "… When you weren't around, she brought her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren into the Huo family. She even said that she was comforting Grandfather."
"How do we comfort him?" Huo Guanyuan was a little nervous. "Was your grandmother still around at that time?"
"Not anymore." Huo Shaoheng knew that this uncle had a close relationship with Grandmother's mother, so he quickly explained, "Grandmother had already passed away when Zhang Feng brought her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren into the Huo family."
As for the troubles that followed, Huo Shaoheng did not intend to tell Huo Guanyuan now.
Or rather, he should not be the one to say these things.
The expression on Huo Guanyuan's face gradually became solemn. "So, if I'm gone, and your grandmother is gone, your father and grandfather won't be doing human affairs anymore?"
"…"
He didn't know how to respond.
Huo Guanyuan could scold his father and brother like that, but even if Huo Shaoheng agreed in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
"This is too much!" Huo Guanyuan punched the bare trunk of the parasol tree next to him. "Your grandfather used Zhang Feng to humiliate your grandmother, and your father used Bai Jinyi to humiliate your mother. What about you? Have you ever done anything for your grandmother and mother?! "
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "I was only 12 years old then. May I ask what I could have done? Run away from home and become a delinquent? You left your mentally ill mother aside and did nothing about her? "
Huo Shaoheng didn't mean to mock Huo Guanyuan, but Huo Guanyuan's face burned when he heard it.
He was living a peaceful life here alone. Wasn't that the same as throwing his mother aside and not caring about her?
When he made up his mind to sacrifice, he thought that his mother would understand him.
But when he found out that his mother had passed away before him, the heart-wrenching pain was almost unbearable for him.
When he thought about how his mother had to send off her son, the pain and anxiety she must have felt was even heavier than his own, his eyes finally turned red.
Huo Guanyuan's voice choked, but he said firmly, "Go back! I must go back! "
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Huo Guanyuan was getting emotional, he quickly said, "When Grandmother passed away, she arranged everything. When you go back, I will show you my grandmother's will. She left you a fund, and I am in charge of it for the time being. When the time comes, I can pass it to you. "
Huo Guanyuan waved his hand and took a deep breath. He said, "No need. I'll give you all those things. Treat them as a wedding gift for you and Nianzhi."
At the mention of Gu Nianzhi, Huo Guanyuan's gaze sharpened. "… Are you going to continue hiding it from her?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and said sincerely, "I hope you can help me deal with it, uncle. I'm worried that she won't be able to hide it. If He Zhichu and He Chengjian find out, she'll suffer again. "
That time, when He Chengjian "would rather kill the wrong person than let the wrong person go", Gu Nianzhi resolutely took the bullet for him in front of him.
He watched helplessly as she fell in his arms. At that moment, he was completely stunned.
His brain also felt like it had been hit by a sniper rifle, and it went blank for two to three seconds.
For the first time, he was at a loss. It was as if he was in a deserted wilderness, and he couldn't see anything.
He only came back to his senses when He Zhichu took her away from his arms. However, his posture could no longer be cold, and his voice could no longer pretend to be clear.
He could only give a series of instructions to the KGB in a hoarse voice.
At that time, he knew that this girl's passion and love could not be stopped by anyone or anything.
The luckiest thing in his life was to meet her.
The best decision in his life was to fall in love with her.
Huo Guanyuan also clearly thought of the time Gu Nianzhi had been hit by a sniper rifle bullet. He said with lingering fear, "Okay, I understand. But if you're always by her side, aren't you afraid that she'll … fall in love with someone else? "
Huo Shaoheng retracted his thoughts and smiled. "So what if she falls in love with someone else? She's still in love with me anyway. "
His words were arrogant, arrogant, and asking for a beating.
Huo Guanyuan instantly retracted his concern and sympathy and said coldly, "Okay, then don't expect me to be nice to you in the future."
"That won't do." Huo Shaoheng brushed the snow off his shoulders and said casually, "I'm a Soviet diplomat. You're such a good person, so why would you be so mean to a diplomat? This will make Nianzhi suspicious. Just be respectful to me like before. "
Huo Guanyuan thought about Gu Nianzhi's relentless pursuit of the "San Xian fried rice". He was both alert and aggrieved. He couldn't help but ask, "… Did you make her that kind of San Xian fried rice? The kind your mother made for you when you were young? "
He paused for a moment, then said proudly, "It's the kind of San Xian fried rice that I taught your mother to make. It's also the only kind of rice that your mother knows how to make."
Song Jinning was a culinary idiot. God knew what method Huo Guanyuan had used to make a culinary idiot be able to make San Xian fried rice that was above average..
That was a rare and cherished moment in Huo Guanyuan's memory. He would never share it with anyone even if he was beaten to death.
Huo Shaoheng frowned and immediately asked, "You made San Xian fried rice for Nianzhi?"
Although Huo Guanyuan didn't want to admit it, he still nodded bitterly. "She didn't know who I was, but she seemed to be very familiar with the taste of that kind of fried rice. She asked me where I learned it several times."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and rubbed his wrist. He said, "Nianzhi is very smart. She won't forget what she eats after eating it once. That's why I said that I didn't know how to cook from the beginning. That way, I wouldn't reveal any flaws. "
"Sly!" Huo Guanyuan glared at him, but he was happy for him.
When he was Huo Shaoheng's age, he wasn't as calm and composed as he was now.
It was a good thing for the country that he was smarter and more capable than him.
Only when each generation was smarter and more capable than the previous one would a country be able to prosper.
Huo Shaoheng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Then let's keep it the same for now. After I'm done here, we'll discuss how to go back."
He wouldn't reveal his identity to Gu Nianzhi until the last moment.
Huo Guanyuan was reminded and quickly asked, "What agreement did you make with the Soviet Union? They're not easy to get along with. Don't think that they'll help you selflessly. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't tell Huo Guanyuan everything. He just said nonchalantly, "I know. We're just taking what we need."
After a pause, he placed his hand on Huo Guanyuan's shoulder and said firmly, "I won't harm the interests of the Huaxia Empire here either."
Although this country wasn't his, they were born from the same roots. He wouldn't forget his roots.
"I believe you." Huo Guanyuan patted his shoulder and sighed. "This place is actually not bad. I've been here for 18 years, and I've almost forgotten what it's like over there."
"Believe me, our place is better than this place," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. His tone was deep and heavy, and he didn't allow anyone to question him.
"Okay, I'll wait to go home with you." Huo Guanyuan reached out his hand to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng shook it heavily when he saw this.
At that moment, the last barrier in the hearts of the two men disappeared.
The 18 years between the two of them had officially faded away. What they welcomed was a brand new future.
..
Huo Guanyuan returned to the apartment floor. Instead of going to his room, he went straight to Lu Jin's apartment.
Lu Jin was still awake. He was writing a program in front of the computer in the studio.
Huo Guanyuan stood at the door of his studio and knocked on it. He asked calmly, "Do you remember the call I asked you to make eight years ago when we were planning to send Nianzhi to the other world?"
Lu Jin's typing hand paused for a moment.
He rubbed his eyes and stomped on the ground. He turned the computer chair around and glared at Huo Guanyuan. "Boss Lu, it's so late, and you're telling me about what happened eight years ago? Are you dreaming? "
"Just pretend I'm dreaming." Huo Guanyuan said coldly, "I asked you to call my mother. Who did you call?"
Lu Jin: "…"
He thought hard for a moment before saying, "… You called your mother?"
Seeing that Huo Guanyuan's expression was strange, Lu Jin quickly said, "Time was too tight at the time, and I didn't want to waste too much energy. When I heard that the person who answered the phone was a woman, I thought it was your mother. After giving her a few instructions, she said she understood, so I hung up."
"What's wrong? Did I call the wrong number? Isn't she your mother? "
Huo Guanyuan's fingers clenched into fists, making cracking sounds. However, after glaring at Lu Jin for a long time, he slammed his fist on the door frame and turned to leave.
This matter was already over, and Gu Nianzhi had been safely delivered to Huo Shaoheng. Song Jinning had also recovered because of this. There was no point in dwelling on who he had called back then.
Moreover, Lu Jin was really a person of great fortune. His mistake had confused Bai Jinyi and did not expose Huo Guanyuan at all.
Therefore, Huo Guanyuan was only angry for a while. When his anger subsided, he left.
He didn't want to waste his breath on someone like Lu Jin.
Because he knew that if he said too much, he would still be the one who would be angry. Lu Jin wouldn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.
Lu Jin was even more confused when he saw this situation. However, when he saw that Huo Guanyuan had left without saying anything else, he didn't feel conflicted at all. He turned around and continued programming.
He wanted to crack all the internal codes of the Qin Corporation as soon as possible and download everything. He wanted to give it to Nianzhi as New Year's money during the Spring Festival.
