The Xiao Family and the Huo Family were fighting openly and covertly.
The whole upper-class circle in Harbor City is full of the grudges between the Huo family and the Xiao family.
Huo Qixiong appeared several times but he was exhausted. His hair was gray and his temples were greying. It was as if he had aged many years in just a short while.
Huo Ting received unprecedented attention in the Huo family, and Huo Qixiong almost unreservedly managed the Huo family with Huo Ting.
Before the end of the year, everything was crowded together.
As the Spring Festival approached, the entire Harbor City began to calm down temporarily.
The day before New Year's Eve, Chu Mochen took Song Yunxuan to have a check-up.
As soon as Song Yunxuan arrives at the corridor of the hospital, she suddenly stops and covers her mouth to vomit.
She rushes to the bathroom and has no time to say hello to Chu Mochen.
Chu Mochen followed her to the door of the bathroom. Seeing that she was vomiting in the sink, he walked in and patted her back gently. "I asked you to go back to Yuncheng to recuperate, but you didn't agree. Now you can't hold it, can you?"
Song Yunxuan raised her head to speak, but she felt nauseous. She lowered her head and vomited again.
His entire body was devoid of strength because of the intense vomiting.
Song Yunxuan's physical condition was really poor. When Gu Changge was pregnant, she didn't vomit so badly.
Perhaps because Shao Tianze was a doctor, when she was pregnant, Shao Tianze would help her adjust.
No matter when she gave birth to Gu Yi or Miaomiao, her body didn't have any serious problems.
As for Song Yunxuan's body, it was not obvious if she was not pregnant. But if she was pregnant, coupled with the pregnancy reaction, she would almost die when she gave birth.
She held on to the smooth edge of the sink and vomited.
Chu Mochen gently pats her back and feels distressed: "Why do you vomit so badly?"
When she felt that she couldn't vomit anymore, she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth and turned on the tap to wash her hands. "This is how women give birth. When my mother gave birth to me …"
Her words came to an abrupt halt.
Chu Mochen is still listening to her, but she suddenly stops talking.
"What happened when your mother gave birth to you?"
She looked down and the expression in her eyes changed slightly. She said softly, "You suffered a lot."
No, he didn't suffer a lot.
She died in childbirth.
She lost her mother the day she was born.
Gu Changge's mother died of dystocia at a young age. Even though her father Gu Cheng loved and doted on her mother very much, he couldn't stop the distance between life and death.
She sighed with emotion. "It's hard for a woman to give birth."
Chu Mochen helped her to walk out: "I know."
"Maybe the mother will die after the child is born."
Chu Mochen looks at her deeply. His lips are straight and his breath is not heavy, but it is powerful. "No matter when, I will protect you."
Song Yunxuan is surprised. After a while, she realizes the meaning of his words. She smiles and stares at him. She can't help but smile, "You are the only child of the Chu Family. If I have a boy in my belly and it's difficult to give birth, will you be willing to keep it?"
Chu Mochen stops.
The sun outside the window is quiet. The slanting streamer shines in through the window and covers him.
He stood under the sun, half of his shoulder shining with a soft light. His thin lips moved close to her ear. His expression was gentle, like a whisper, but also like a vow. "If I can't protect you, I'll go with you."
No matter where you go, I will accompany you.
Song Yunxuan's eyes are smiling. Suddenly hearing such a promise, she is stunned and can't recover for a few seconds.
Her heart is knocked not lightly nor heavily. But this time, it is soft and shot directly into the deepest part of her heart with infinite power.
Her eyes are clear and dark.
Chu Mochen looks at her and stares at her. The expression of his eyes can't be ignored.
In this materialistic society, she could actually come into contact with such a love guarantee, where one's glory and one's loss were bound together.
The dry place in the bottom of her heart seems to be moistened again. Slowly, there are some feelings stretching, growing and filling every inch of the body.
Chu Mochen looks at her.
She also looks at Chu Mochen. But she doesn't know why she suddenly smiles.
"What are you laughing at?"
Song Yunxuan lowers her eyes. "I feel that your guarantee … is really not in line with your usual style."
"There are a lot of things that are not in line with my style. Do you want to try them one by one?"
The topic becomes a little bit crooked.
Song Yunxuan stops in time. "Let's do the examination first."
Chu Mochen holds her small hand with his big hand and holds her hand tightly. "Let's go."
The two of them left together.
Behind them, there is a white man with blond hair and blue eyes quietly watching the two leave, squinting his eyes.
…
The day before New Year's Eve.
Huo Ting and Huo Qixiong have lunch together at noon.
Huo Qixiong frowns. "The smokeless city construction project that the Huo family has told the Harbor City government before may not be completed."
Huo Ting's eyebrows move slightly. He knows that it must be the Xiao family who played tricks in it.
"Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang don't have a deep friendship with the governor of Harbor City."
"But the Lu family's connections can't be underestimated. The Xiao family begins to please the Lu family, hoping that the Lu family can come in and help at such a critical time."
The relationship between the three families in Harbor City is intertwined and complicated.
The three families, the Xiao family, the Lu family and the Huo family, have always maintained a delicate balance. In the past, two families tried to unite by marriage to resist the other family. But no matter which two families united, they would eventually give up the plan of marriage for various reasons.
The Lu family has been unable to carry out a marriage. After the death of the real young master of the Lu family, the whole Lu family only has Lu Xia to support. Lu Xia's attitude of being the master of the Lu family is a strong guarantee that she will never marry.
The sons of the Xiao family have never had daughters, but in the grandchildren's generation, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang each have a pair of daughters. But the real key role is Xiao Luo, the son of the eldest son, Xiao Xuan, who has died long ago.
If Xiao Luo marries one of the two daughters of Huo Qixiong, it will be a success and can form an alliance.
But unfortunately, Huo Jiahui and Huo Jiaying are twins, and now they are both twenty-six years old.
But Xiao Luo is a full ten years younger than the two sisters.
Even if it is a business marriage, they should make use of each other, but the age gap is a little too big.
And the relationship between Huo Jiahui and Chu Mochen is subtle, so she will definitely not marry.
And Huo Jiaying's reputation is ruined all at once.
The marriage between the Huo family and the Xiao family can't be reached, so the Xiao family is relieved.
Huo Qixiong says that the Lu family has a wide network and helps the Xiao family.
Huo Ting doesn't think so.
He puts the spoon on the table and looks up, "Dad, in your opinion, Lu Xia is going to help the two sons of the Xiao family?"
Huo Qixiong nods and is very tired, "If Lu Xia stands on the side of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, our Huo family … our Huo family will be in danger."
"If Lu Xia stands on the side of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, the Huo family is indeed in danger. But dad, we still have a way." There is a faint light in Huo Ting's eyes. They are as quiet as the deep sea, but there are thin dark waves at the bottom of the sea.
Huo Qixiong has seen Huo Ting grow up. He has never carefully observed his son's expression before. Now he sees it and feels that he has an idea.
And maybe it's a very dangerous idea.
"Dad, instead of waiting for our Huo family to be attacked by the Lu family and the Xiao family, it's better to take a risk."
Before Huo Qixiong hands over all the power in his hands, the whole Huo family is still under his control.
If he wants to gamble with the whole Huo family, Huo Qixiong's support is indispensable.
In the past, when Zhang Yufang was with Huo Qixiong, she always criticized Huo Ting's suggestions and even directly denied them.
Now that Zhang Yufang is not here, it's easy for him to get his father's approval.
Sure enough, Huo Qixiong's attention was attracted by this gamble.
Huo Ting looks at his father, "Dad, do you support me?"
Huo Qixiong looks at him with a sense of old vicissitudes, "Ting, now if you have a way to get the Huo family out of the crisis, I will support you no matter what means."
Huo Ting nods and is satisfied with his father's support.
His eyes are dark, and he says seriously, "Dad, give me all the control of the Huo family for the time being."
As soon as he says this, Huo Qixiong is stunned.
What Zhang Yufang said in front of him suddenly comes to his mind —
"Although Huo Ting has some ability, he is still too mediocre. You can't hand over the control of the Huo family to him too early. If you want to hand over the control to him completely, you have to wait until he has a family and a career, and his style of doing things has improved."
Huo Qixiong doesn't expect that his eldest son will ask for the transfer of power at this time. His eyelids slowly droop, and he says slowly, "The transfer of control of the Huo family is a big deal. Let me … discuss it with Yufang."
Huo Ting's face doesn't change.
His hands under the table are suddenly clenched, and there are faint blue veins on the back of his hands.
Yufang … Zhang Yufang?
Although he has his own son, he doesn't trust his own son at all.
He puts all his trust in the woman named Zhang Yufang.
Huo Ting is furious, but he doesn't show it on his face.
After the meal, someone comes to his ear and whispers something. Huo Ting bends his lips and says goodbye to Huo Qixiong, "Dad, I have something to do in the afternoon. I'll leave first."
Huo Qixiong nods without asking more. He is still contemplating whether to hand over the control of the Huo family to Huo Ting.
After leaving the Huo family's mansion, Huo Ting frowns and impatiently asks the person who tells him the news, "When did they disappear?"
"This morning."
"Did anyone else go to Yangshan?"
"Miss Hui drove there in person after knowing that Mrs. Huo and Miss Ying went to Yangshan."
"When?"
"This morning."
Huo Ting's eyes are full of anger, "Send someone to stop Jiahui's car."
The man nods.
Huo Ting raises his head slightly and suddenly stops the man, "Wait."
The man, who had been ordered to go, stopped dead in his tracks.
