Eighteen years had passed, but Old Master Huo had never thought that Huo Guanyuan was still alive.
In addition, she had just woken up and had made a scene of great joy and sorrow. Her physical and mental strength were a little overwhelmed. She pulled Lu Yuan to look at him for a while, but her face was still drooping. She let go of his hand and closed her eyes in extreme disappointment. "I'm fine. I'm going to be discharged. Go and settle the paperwork. "
Zhang Baochen couldn't care less about being pinched by Lu Yuan. He quickly rushed over and said to Old Master Huo, "Dad, don't worry. I'll go handle the procedures now!"
"Stop. Father is just in time; he needs to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. "Huo Guanchen stopped Zhang Baochen." Don't rush. He's tired now. Everyone, disperse and let father rest. "
Zhang Baochen obeyed Huo Guanchen's every command and immediately nodded. "Okay, okay. Let's stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."
Huo Guanchen said, "I'll have the caretaker I hired come here to take care of Father. We'll follow the same rules as before. I'll send someone here on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You'll have to work harder on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday."
"No problem, no problem!" Zhang Baochen saw that Huo Guanchen's attitude towards him was getting better and better, and thought to himself that his hard work had not been in vain.
The two of them discussed things as if no one else was around. Zhang Baochen's wife, son, and daughter looked at Lu Yuan curiously, secretly wondering who this person was. Even Grandfather Huo had mistaken him for someone else.
Huo Shaoheng took out his phone and connected to the private hospital's WIFI. He searched for loopholes in the surveillance system to attack, and searched for surveillance footage of the operating room.
The surgery had been performed two days ago, and this private hospital did not perform many surgeries every day. Therefore, he quickly found the video of the surgery and uploaded it to the cloud and shared it with Lu Jin.
Lu Yuan stood silently in front of the bed and looked at Old Master Huo for a while before turning around and leaving without a word.
Huo Shaoheng followed him out and Huo Guanchen quickly called out, "Shaoheng! When your grandfather is discharged from the hospital, remember to come and help! "
Huo Guanyuan couldn't be counted on, and Huo Guanchen didn't stop him at all.
Huo Shaoheng's footsteps paused at the door. He turned back to look at him and said dryly, "I have to work overtime. I don't have time."
"Overtime?!" Huo Guanchen frowned. "Didn't General Ji give you a long break? What overtime? "
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched. "Even on vacation, he still has to check his email and assign work. General Huo's memory is failing. If this goes on, sooner or later I'll retire early. "
With that, he quickly left Grandfather Huo's ward.
Huo Guanchen was enraged by the words "early retirement," but in front of the Zhang family, he could only swallow his anger.
Zhang Baochen had wanted to persuade her, but his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a text from Guo Huining: [… Can you do me a favor and put in a good word for me?]
He quickly replied: [No problem!]
He was waiting for Guo Huining to speak.
The other party had done him such a big favor, how could he not ask for something in return?
He knew it very well.
Guo Huining was too embarrassed to tell him in person, so she texted him and continued: [It's like this, I offended Miss Gu Nianzhi a few days ago. She's General Huo's daughter-in-law, and I see that you're pretty close to her. Can you help me argue in front of General Huo so that Miss Gu won't hold a grudge against me?]
Zhang Baochen was shocked. He didn't expect Guo Huining to help him because of Gu Nianzhi!
Other people aside, Gu Nianzhi had left too deep of an impression on him.
Although he knew this was wrong, he couldn't help but secretly hate Gu Nianzhi.
If it weren't for her meddling, their family would still be happily living in the Huo family's mansion in the military's HQ!
It was all because of her that they had nothing now. The family of four was squeezed into an apartment that was less than 200 square meters!
Zhang Baochen couldn't help but snort and reply: [Gu Nianzhi just likes to cause trouble. She thinks she's better than others because she's a lawyer. She doesn't care about us at all. I'm afraid we won't be of any use if you ask us to plead for her.]
Guo Huining's lips twitched when she saw the text. She thought to herself, I'm not asking you to plead for her. Of course I'm asking Grandfather Huo and Huo Guanchen to do it!
Of course she knew that Zhang Baochen couldn't do anything in front of them.
But she never underestimated the usefulness of people like Zhang Baochen.
She had been in the Hong family for seven or eight years and knew that the wealthier the family, the less monogamous it was.
Even though many people thought this was modern society, the wealthy families were still the same as in the past. They had concubines, mistresses, illegitimate children, and everything else.
Some even lived with their wives and concubines, living in harmony upstairs and downstairs.
You say the law doesn't recognize the legal status of concubines?
They don't care about status at all!
But now that she saw Grandfather Huo's attitude towards Zhang Baochen and Huo Shaoheng, she knew she made the right choice.
So she replied: [Mr. Zhang, you're too humble. Please tell General Huo and Grandfather Huo that when Grandfather Huo is discharged from the hospital in a few days, I'll be treating him to the most expensive Phoenix Court Restaurant in the Hong's Hotel. Please bring Grandfather Huo, General Huo, Major General Huo, and Miss Gu. I'll apologize to her in person.]
The Phoenix Court Restaurant in the Hong's Hotel wasn't a single building. It was the name of a private room on the second floor of the hotel. It was very spacious and luxurious, and the starting price was astonishing.
Zhang Baochen knew about the Phoenix Court Restaurant. Seeing Guo Huining's sincerity, he agreed: [Ok, I'll go tell them. You set the time and let us know when it's time.]
Guo Huining breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: [Of course, of course. I'll send out an official invitation for you to come. As for Major General Huo and Miss Gu, I hope Mr. Zhang can ask Grandfather Huo and General Huo to mediate.]
Zhang Baochen didn't dare speak to Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng himself, but if Huo Guanchen and Grandfather Huo were to speak to them, they'd probably give them face.
He still had this bit of self-awareness.
After Guo Huining finished discussing with Zhang Baochen, she left the empty room with Dou Aiyan and walked towards the elevator.
Dou Aiyan saw Guo Huining's happy face and asked with a smile: "Everything settled?"
"Yes, I told Mr. Zhang that when Grandfather Huo is discharged from the hospital in a few days, I'll treat him to a meal at the Phoenix Court Restaurant in the Hong's Hotel. I hope they'll be there, and I'll personally apologize to Gu Nianzhi."
"… Will Gu Nianzhi go? What if she doesn't accept your apology? " Dou Aiyan asked curiously, "She said the other day that she'd never step into the Hong's Hotel again."
"That's why I'll treat them to a meal at the Hong's Hotel …" Guo Huining said slyly, very pleased with her little trick, "If she doesn't come, then she'll be unreasonable and disrespecting the two most senior members of the Huo family. Does she still want to marry into the Huo family in the future?! In her daydreams! "
"But if she comes, then she'll be slapping herself in the face." Dou Aiyan understood and clapped her hands with a smile, "Huining, you're amazing! Even I didn't think of that! "
