"I'm the one who killed them."
After that, there was a strange silence in the room.
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao. She couldn't believe that there was such a person in the world.
Because he felt that he had killed his brother and sister, he didn't explain himself even though he knew that his mother had misunderstood him.
For so many years, he had endured such misunderstandings alone. What kind of pain was it to endure such torment?
Su Qingsang felt a sharp pain in her heart. The pain made her realize that her face was covered with tears.
People always hoped for miracles in life, but most of the time, there were no miracles in the world.
The deaths of Huo Jinkai and Huo Wushuang were both regrettable. Something that shouldn't have happened had happened. It was already a tragedy.
No matter how much Huo Jinyao regretted it, he couldn't save his brother and sister's lives.
He couldn't forgive himself. He couldn't forgive himself for being impulsive when he was twelve years old.
So for the past ten or twenty years, he had been torturing himself in this way.
Wasn't this kind of torment another tragedy?
For the first time, Huo Jinyao didn't notice Su Qingsang's tears. He was immersed in his memories.
In fact, he rarely recalled the past. Very rarely. If possible, he even hoped that he could lose his memory. He wanted to forget the three days he had been kidnapped.
Those three days were the darkest days of his life.
The torture and pain he had experienced were nightmares that he would never be able to forget.
Su Qingsang's face was covered with tears. In her eyes, Huo Jinyao's figure had become a blurry shadow.
She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton. She couldn't say a word.
She hugged Huo Jinyao tightly and forcefully.
Huo Jinyao stood there without moving. His body was very stiff.
He was completely immersed in the emotions brought about by the kidnapping.
After so many years, he had no one to talk about his self-blame and guilt.
He had no one to talk about the pain of losing his family.
Who should he talk to? The Huo family?
They were all suffering the same pain as him.
Liu Tongjia was the one who suffered the most.
She had lost two children in one day.
One was the eldest son she was proud of.
One was the little daughter she had been looking forward to seeing for a long time.
Huo Jinyao understood Liu Tongjia's pain. Therefore, when he found out that Liu Tongjia had misunderstood him, he couldn't argue back.
Huo Jinkai had tried to stop him, and he had told him about it.
But he refused to listen, stubbornly going his own way.
In the end, it resulted in such an outcome.
He clearly only needed to wait for three days. As long as he endured through those three days, everything would be fine.
But he couldn't wait.
His brother and sister didn't survive either.
Huo Jinyao didn't cry. Ever since he was 12 years old, he hadn't shed a single tear.
For such a long time, he had been bitterly suppressing it, desperately holding on.
He had gotten used to Liu Tongjia's cold treatment over the past decade.
For a long time, Huo Jinyao even enjoyed being treated like this by Liu Tongjia.
Because in that case, he could slightly reduce the self-blame in his heart.
He had never thought that one day, Liu Tongjia would go against Su Qingsang because she didn't like him.
Su Qingsang's face was already covered with tears. They were indoors and didn't wear many clothes.
She hugged him tightly again. Soon, her tears had soaked his clothes.
The wetness on his chest made him lower his head. Because of the pain brought by the memories, his eyes were red.
He blinked, as if he could see Su Qingsang's face clearly.
He reached out his hand, very slowly, and gently stroked her cheek.
"Why are you crying?"
Su Qingsang couldn't speak. She could only hug him tightly and keep shaking her head.
How could there be such a stupid person?
"Don't cry. I'm fine. "
He had already experienced the pain, and he had already been hurt.
It was just that those regrets kept tormenting him, and the self-blame kept tormenting him.
He had nowhere to vent those emotions, so he occasionally had nightmares in the middle of the night.
"I'm really fine now."
Su Qingsang wouldn't believe him.
If that was really the case, he wouldn't have been plagued by nightmares for so many years.
He wouldn't have called her mother when he was sick.
He had grown up, but his feelings were still the same as when he was 12 years old.
He was still that teenager.
A helpless teenager who was kidnapped, hurt, and hurt.
He longed for maternal love and the care from his family.
In fact, those were what Liu Tongjia and Huo Mingguang owed him more than ten years ago.
How could Liu Tongjia do that?
How could she?
Huo Jinyao was also a victim. He also needed Liu Tongjia's gentle words and comfort. He also needed her, as a mother, to bring him out of that pain.
But what did Liu Tongjia give him?
Suspicion, accusation.
And the hatred that had lasted for more than ten years.
Su Qingsang's eyes were blurry from crying. Her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe.
She looked up at Huo Jinyao and kept shaking her head when he said that he was fine.
"It's not like that."
Her voice was trembling and full of tears.
She shook her head and hugged him tightly.
"It's not like that."
He wouldn't be fine without the past.
"How could she do that?"
"How could she?"
Su Qingsang kept repeating these few words to herself.
She wanted to say that Liu Tongjia was wrong. She wanted to say that she should make it up to Huo Jinyao.
But she couldn't say it. She could only keep sniffling. Finally, she looked up at Huo Jinyao with a pained face.
"I, I'll go talk to her."
She let go of him, turned around, and rushed to Liu Tongjia's room.
"I'll go now."
She wanted to make it clear to Liu Tongjia.
She had already lost a son and a daughter.
Now, did she want to lose another child as well?
People's hearts were the easiest to be hurt, and it was difficult to heal after it was hurt.
Liu Tongjia was wrong.
Since she was wrong. Then let her fix this mistake.
Huo Jinyao subconsciously grabbed her. When she was about to rush out, he pulled her back into his arms.
"Don't go."
"Huo Jinyao?"
"You don't need to say it."
Huo Jinyao looked at her face, raised his hand, and used his palm to wipe away the tears on her face little by little.
He wiped very, very slowly.
He looked at her, and his expression had returned to its usual calmness.
"There's no need to say it."
Huo Jinyao pursed his lips, and his handsome face was indifferent.
"It's hard for her too."
Liu Tongjia's pain was no less than his. It would only be more than his.
For so many years, the nightmare had tortured him for as long as it had tortured Liu Tongjia.
There had been a time when Liu Tongjia couldn't get out of that nightmare no matter how hard she tried.
Every night, she couldn't sleep and woke up with a start.
Huo Jinkai and Huo Wushuang were both born after she carried them for ten months.
Especially Huo Wushuang.
Her departure was the pain of the entire Huo family.
Liu Tongjia's pain was transferred after she misunderstood him.
She felt better after she transferred the pain, the anger, and the hatred of loss to him.
Huo Jinyao knew that. He knew all that.
That was why she didn't want to explain anymore.
Let it be.
If there had to be someone who had to bear the responsibility for these losses.
Then let him do it.
He owed it to Liu Tongjia. It was all his fault.
Su Qingsang's tears were wiped away by Huo Jinyao, but her eyes were still red.
She opened her eyes and looked at Huo Jinyao in a daze.
"Huo Jinyao?"
"I'm really fine."
Huo Jinyao didn't know how many times he had said that today.
Even though he knew that Su Qingsang wouldn't believe him, even though he knew that he was just lying to himself.
Su Qingsang didn't want to argue anymore.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips gently and slowly.
She traced the shape of his lips carefully.
His lips were very beautiful and sexy. They weren't thick and were slightly thin.
Some people used to say that people with thin lips were also thin.
But now, she felt that his lips were just right.
They were soft and bright red, just like his heart.
She kissed him, and tears fell again.
Finally, she couldn't kiss him anymore.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She blinked them away and hugged him tightly.
Huo Jinyao hugged her as well. The front of his shirt was wet again with her tears.
He tightened the grip on his arm.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, her eyelids, and kissed away all her tears.
Finally, he kissed her lips. She stopped at the first touch and hugged him again.
They didn't speak again. They just hugged each other like that.
Time seemed to stand still. He needed time, and so did she.
She slowly calmed herself down. She stopped crying.
Her eyes were still swollen.
He lowered his head to look at her and sighed softly.
"It's okay. It's okay. Let's go and wash your face. Apply it to your eyes, or you'll feel uncomfortable later. "
They were going to have dinner together tonight.
If she went with her face like that, she would probably attract attention.
Su Qingsang sniffled and nodded heavily.
Huo Jinyao held her hand and walked towards the bathroom.
Neither of them spoke again. Su Qingsang let him bring a towel, fill it with water, wring it, and gently wipe her face.
His movements were very gentle, as if he was wiping some treasure.
Su Qingsang blinked. After Huo Jinyao withdrew his hand, she spoke very softly.
"Huo Jinyao, have you ever thought about leaving the Huo family? Or leaving Tianyu Group? "
Huo Jinyao stopped wringing the towel.
He glanced at her and nodded.
"Then –"
"It's not that I don't want to. I can't. "
Old Master Huo knew all about his pain and suffering.
Old Master Huo was well aware of Liu Tongjia's pain and suffering.
Because Old Master Huo knew and understood. So for so many years, he had never said a word about the relationship between mother and son.
Old Master Huo had experienced a lot, so his mentality was different.
He was able to accept it, and he could bear more.
But other people might not be able to.
He understood it all. So, although he felt sorry for Huo Jinyao, he would never let him go.
"Whether it's the Huo family or Tianyu Group. These are all my responsibilities. "
If Huo Jinkai were still alive, these would be Huo Jinkai's responsibilities.
But Huo Jinkai was gone. His death had a lot to do with him.
Even though he had repeatedly told himself that their deaths were accidents, it was useless.
"Unless, one day, there is someone who can really shoulder these responsibilities. Otherwise, I will continue to carry them. "
Su Qingsang didn't say anything. She understood him and his choice.
However –
"What about Huo Yifan?"
"Him?"
Huo Jinyao didn't have a bad impression of Huo Yifan. They used to have a good relationship.
But he didn't know when Huo Yifan and the others started to have other thoughts.
Not only them, but also the Wei family and even the Liu family.
The root cause of all this was Liu Tongjia's undisguised attitude.
Huo Jinyao knew that, but because of his tolerance for Liu Tongjia, he had no choice but to tolerate these things as well.
"Don't worry. He won't be able to do anything. "
Whether it was him or his older brother in the past.
They were all heirs who had been carefully trained by Old Master Huo.
In this aspect, Old Master Huo didn't insist on the eldest son and grandson to inherit, nor was he biased.
It was because he believed that everyone had different responsibilities to bear.
The emphasis he placed on nurturing each of his grandchildren was also different.
Huo Yifan wasn't bad, but his weakness was that he was too confident and easily arrogant.
With this weakness, Tianyu Group couldn't be expanded in his hands.
Therefore, Huo Jinyao would never be a match for him.
"I know you're better than him." Su Qingsang was worried about other things. "But he's with Su Peizhen now. I have a feeling that they're not coming with good intentions. "
Huo Jinyao leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you for the compliment, wife. You also said that your husband is better than him. If that's the case, even if Su Peizhen is added, so what? "
Su Qingsang nodded and laughed at herself for thinking too much.
"Anyway, I don't know much about your business. I can't help much. I just hope that you can be well. "
Huo Jinyao reached out and rubbed the top of her head.
"Let's go. You rest for a while. We should have dinner later. "
When the two of them were about to go downstairs, Su Qingsang glanced at the room next door.
"Is Uncle Yichen okay?"
To avoid arousing suspicion, she left when the doctors were treating Zhang Yichen. She didn't stay.
"He's fine. But I don't think he can get up for dinner. "
It was good that he couldn't get up.
Until now, Su Qingsang thought that Zhang Yichen had done that to her because he was drugged and drunk.
Only he knew very well that it wasn't the case.
The drug had only stimulated the deepest feelings in Zhang Yichen's heart.
Zhang Yichen really had feelings for Su Qingsang.
However, Huo Jinyao wouldn't tell Su Qingsang about it.
He thought about how she had cried for him and how she had wanted to rush to Liu Tongjia to explain for him.
His Qingsang was so good. It wasn't surprising that a man liked her.
However, he still hoped that there would be fewer rivals in love.
Su Qingsang nodded. She sympathized with Liu Tongjia, but she couldn't understand her.
If Liu Tongjia really succeeded in framing him … Wouldn't it be better to let others know that she had a daughter-in-law who cheated on her husband?
Or, did she really hate Huo Jinyao to such an extent?
Not only did she want to take away his power in the company, but she also wanted to ruin his reputation.
Su Qingsang sighed in her heart. If Liu Tongjia really wanted to do that …
If Huo Jinyao stubbornly refused to explain the misunderstanding between them, who could guess what Liu Tongjia would do in the future?
"Don't worry."
Huo Jinyao seemed to know what she was thinking. He suddenly stopped walking.
"I've already told my mother. She won't do something like that again. "
Su Qingsang looked at his expressionless face when he said that. She could almost guess Liu Tongjia's expression when he said that.
"Your mother …"
"I told her that you're my bottom line. There won't be a next time. "
Su Qingsang pursed her lips, bit her lip, and nodded heavily.
She suddenly realized that she loved Huo Jinyao more and more.
Other than love, she also felt sorry for him and admired him.
No one's son could have done this. But Huo Jinyao did.
He had endured a lot that he shouldn't have.
He had also experienced a lot that he shouldn't have.
The heavens were really too unfair to him.
During dinner, several people at the table didn't look good.
Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang didn't need to be mentioned. Although Su Qingsang had a buffer from the previous emotions, she still didn't understand Liu Tongjia's behavior when she saw her again.
Liu Tongjia didn't look good either. Huo Mingguang wasn't in the room in the afternoon.
She stayed alone the whole afternoon.
Huo Jinyao's words still affected her.
She didn't cry, but her eyes were a little red, and her face looked a little haggard.
If one looked carefully, they would find that she had put on some powder to hide her emotions at the moment.
Huo Jinyao didn't look at Liu Tongjia, so he didn't notice the change in her expression.
No matter how much Huo Jinyao could bear it, he didn't want to talk to her now.
Su Qingsang didn't notice her expression either. She couldn't forgive Liu Tongjia now.
Old Master Huo and Huo Mingguang noticed it.
However, there were too many relatives today, so it wasn't convenient for them to ask.
Huo Mingguang leaned close to Liu Tongjia's ear and spoke softly.
"If you're tired, go to bed early at night. Everyone is here for dinner. You'd better cheer up. "
They had been married for many years, so he could tell that she wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
Liu Tongjia glanced at her husband and finally responded with a soft hum. She looked exhausted.
Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan arrived late. Su Peizhen's face was rosy.
His face was beaming with happiness.
Everyone present only thought that Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan had a good relationship.
But it was different for Nian Chunya. Seeing her appearance, Nian Chunya frowned slightly.
She was going to marry her son in the future. No matter how much Old Master Huo liked her, she didn't know how to behave and didn't know how to respect her as a mother. That was enough to make her unhappy.
Su Peizhen didn't care about Nian Chunya's expression. She openly hooked her arm around Huo Yifan's. When she approached the crowd, she looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Su Qingsang's face.
