Xiang Caiping had nowhere else to go. This was the only and best solution she could think of at the moment.
Huo Jinyao sat in the car seat with his hands folded in front of him. He leaned over, took out a bottle of juice from the small refrigerator in the car, and handed it to Xiang Caiping.
"Auntie, drink some juice first and calm down."
Xiang Caiping didn't take the bottle of juice. She couldn't calm down at all.
"Jinyao. Jinyao, I'm begging you, okay? Really. I swear. I will definitely take her and go far away. Okay? "
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Huo Jinyao's voice was slightly cold. He looked at Xiang Caiping with a gentle expression, but his eyes were unusually firm.
"I can't agree to your request."
"Jinyao?" Xiang Caiping stood there in a daze. She stared at him blankly.
"Su Peizhen did something to hurt Qingsang. You know that Qingsang is my bottom line. I won't allow anyone to hurt her. "
He looked at Xiang Caiping, who was already stunned, and put the bottle of juice in her hand.
"Auntie. Su Peizhen needs to be taught a good lesson and reflect on herself. I won't agree to your request. Also, even after five years, if she comes back and still wants to go against Qingsang, then I won't be polite at all. "
Xiang Caiping stood there, holding the bottle of juice in her hand. Her face was very pale, and she looked very depressed.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her and sighed in his heart.
"Auntie, other than this matter, if you need any help, you can come to me or Qingsang."
Xiang Caiping didn't seem to hear him. If Huo Jinyao refused to help, Su Peizhen would definitely go to jail. This was a huge blow to her.
Huo Jinyao didn't say much and gestured for Yang Wenchang to drive.
They were about to reach the company when Huo Jinyao's phone rang. It was a call from Liu Tongjia.
Huo Jinyao looked at the number but still picked it up. After hearing the voice coming from the other end, his expression suddenly became much more serious.
"Go to the hospital."
Old Master Huo was too emotional just now. After Huo Jinyao left, he really fainted. At that moment, the rest of the Huo family had already sent Old Master Huo to the hospital.
Huo Jinyao rushed to the hospital. The doctors were still trying to save Old Master Huo. All the members of the Huo family were standing in the corridor. Just now, the group of people in the court couldn't do anything to Huo Jinyao. Now that he was here, they all stared at him with dissatisfaction.
Seeing him coming, Huo Mingguang, who was standing outside, strode over. He raised his hand at Huo Jinyao and wanted to slap him.
Huo Jinyao raised his hand and stopped Huo Mingguang.
Huo Mingguang missed. His face was a little pale, and he glared at Huo Jinyao.
"Now that your wings have hardened, you can do whatever you want, right? You don't need to care about your family anymore, do you? "
Huo Jinyao did not speak. His hand was still holding Huo Mingguang's hand. Huo Mingguang glared at him as if he wanted to burn a hole in his face.
"Your grandfather is so angry that he fainted. He's still being resuscitated. He didn't know what was going on. Are you satisfied now that things have come to this? "
After all, they were in the hospital. Huo Mingguang's voice was very soft and a little suppressed.
Huo Jinyao frowned. He let go of his hand with some force, and Huo Mingguang's hand was thrown away by him.
Huo Mingguang's expression was ugly, but Huo Jinyao was not afraid at all. He took a step forward. He was tall, and he was half a head taller than Huo Mingguang.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and at that moment, his aura was fully released. Even Huo Mingguang could only retract his hand in embarrassment.
"Dad, you seem to have made a mistake."
"I'm not the one who did the wrong thing from the beginning to the end. It's Huo Yifan. "
"If he didn't betray me first, if he didn't steal my plan first, then he wouldn't have to face all of this today. Then he won't have to face all of this today, and grandpa will naturally be fine. "
"If I was the one who betrayed you today, and the one who stole the plan was me. I believe that Huo Yifan won't be much soft-hearted than me. I'm afraid that his methods will be even more ruthless. "
"Instead of looking for someone else's reason, you're blaming me? Isn't that ridiculous? "
Huo Jinyao's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to be heard by every member of the Huo family in the corridor.
Especially when he glanced at Huo Mingliang's family, his gaze was very sharp. He didn't need to say anything more, but everyone could understand what he meant.
Nian Chunya moved her toes and was about to walk in Huo Jinyao's direction. However, Liu Tongjia seemed to coincidentally block in front of her at this moment.
Nian Chunya was of low birth. Whether it was in terms of education or knowledge, she couldn't compare to Liu Tongjia. In front of her, she inexplicably lost some of her imposing manner.
Liu Tongjia's gaze swept across the faces of the others present indifferently.
As Huo Mingguang's wife and the current madam of the Huo family, the others almost instantly understood what she meant from her attitude.
Huo Jinyao noticed Liu Tongjia's movements. His furrowed brows didn't relax, and he gave her a meaningful look.
Huo Mingguang was very filial. Now that his father was hospitalized because of Huo Jinyao, he was full of anger.
However, in the face of Huo Jinyao's repeated questioning, Huo Mingguang's anger just now was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't vent it no matter how hard he tried.
"You –"
Huo Jinyao ignored him and looked in the direction of the emergency room.
Old Master Huo was still in the emergency room, and his feelings were very complicated. He didn't think he was wrong, but Old Master Huo had been the person who treated him the best in the entire Huo family since he was a child. He really didn't want anything to happen to Old Master Huo.
Half an hour later, the doctor came out from inside and looked at the group of people surrounding the room.
Everyone knew the status of the Huo family in Rong City. The leading doctor walked in front of the Huo family.
"Old Master Huo had a slight stroke. Fortunately, the rescue was done in time, and he's fine now. However, Old Master Huo is old, and his various indicators are a little high. If possible, it's better not to stimulate him. "
The other Huo family members all looked at Huo Jinyao with obvious criticism in their eyes.
Huo Jinyao acted as if he didn't see it. Old Master Huo entered the VIP ward. The others immediately followed, wanting to put on a good performance before Old Master Huo woke up.
Only Huo Jinyao walked at the back.
Liu Tongjia also walked at the back. She was a step slower than Huo Jinyao. Seeing that the ward was just around the corner, she suddenly called out to Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao stopped and looked at Liu Tongjia silently.
"Jinyao, come here." As she spoke, she took the lead and walked to the end of the corridor.
Huo Jinyao didn't move for a few seconds. After pausing for a while, he walked forward and followed behind Liu Tongjia.
There was a window at the end of the corridor, facing the lawn outside the hospital. The weather was good today. The sun shone on the lawn, and patients were moving around in groups of twos and threes, accompanied by their families.
Liu Tongjia turned around and looked at Huo Jinyao. She had almost deliberately neglected the fact that her son had already grown so big.
He was now 31 years old, from 12 years old. More than ten years seemed like a blink of an eye, but it also seemed like a long time.
She remembered her broken heart when she lost her beloved daughter and eldest son. She also remembered her anger when she blamed Huo Jinyao for everything because of the unquenchable hatred in her heart.
Liu Tongjia's feelings were very complicated. She looked at Huo Jinyao blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Huo Jinyao stood there without moving. If it weren't for Liu Tongjia's action just now, he wouldn't have followed her. Seeing that she didn't speak, he frowned slightly.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
Liu Tongjia came back to her senses. Seeing Huo Jinyao's face, she felt sad again. However, she knew that she couldn't let him go in such a situation again.
"Since your grandfather's life is not in danger, you don't have to worry about what happens next. You can do whatever you want. "
Huo Jinyao was stunned. For a moment, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Liu Tongjia couldn't help but continue.
"Huo Yifan did some things wrong. He was the one who brought this upon himself. Six and a half years isn't too long. It's good to let him reflect on himself in there. "
These words really didn't sound like something Liu Tongjia would say. Huo Jinyao stood there and looked at her with a probing gaze, as if he wanted to know her real intentions.
Liu Tongjia finished what she wanted to say, so it wasn't so difficult for her to say the next words.
"Jinyao, from now on, you can do whatever you want. I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."
Liu Tongjia was rarely gentle. Huo Jinyao's expression didn't change. He just looked at Liu Tongjia.
She felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Huo Jinyao was her son. However, she always felt a sense of guilt.
"It's okay. Go see your grandfather."
It was really difficult to apologize. She wanted to ease the relationship, but she didn't know where to start.
Huo Jinyao looked at Liu Tongjia deeply. He had a rough idea of what she didn't say. He was a little surprised, but he wouldn't believe that Liu Tongjia had really changed.
He would see as he walked.
When Huo Jinyao entered the ward, the three siblings of the Huo family, as well as the grandchildren of the third generation, were all waiting in the ward.
Fortunately, it was a VIP ward. Otherwise, it would have been crowded with so many people.
Seeing Huo Jinyao come in, Nian Chunya looked a little upset. She wanted to say something, but she held back.
Not long after, Su Qingsang also came. She was in the clinic and immediately came after hearing that Old Master Huo was in the hospital.
After entering the door, she looked at Huo Jinyao with a little worry. She had heard about Old Master Huo's condition from her colleagues. It was serious, but not serious.
All of this depended on the care and Old Master Huo's own health. Huo Jinyao gave her a look. The two of them looked at each other, and they both understood what he meant.
A group of people stayed in the ward, and no one wanted to leave first. Old Master Huo didn't stay in a coma for long. He woke up soon.
He didn't respond to the chattering of the people in the ward. After looking around, he waved his hand.
"Get out."
Old Master Huo's voice was a little hoarse. However, it was quite firm.
Everyone looked at Huo Jinyao, especially Huo Yiyang and the others. Their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Huo Jinyao stood still. Su Qingsang looked at him with a little worry.
"Get out."
Old Master Huo said again. Huo Jinyao's eyes were half-closed. The thoughts in his eyes were hidden, so others couldn't see through him.
He lifted his feet and was about to walk out when Old Master Huo spoke again.
"All of you, get out. Jinyao, stay."
This time, Huo Yiyang's face was a little sullen. The others were even more so.
However, it was only for a moment. Based on the current situation, Old Master Huo was definitely going to teach Huo Jinyao a lesson. Thinking of this, the others all filed out and left.
Su Qingsang stood still. She wanted to stay, but she could only look at Huo Jinyao worriedly and leave.
This was a VIP ward, so the soundproofing was very good. The group of people left the ward and couldn't hear the sound inside anymore.
After coming out, Su Qingsang stood in front of Liu Tongjia. She found that there was some worry in Liu Tongjia's eyes. She was a little surprised, but when she thought of Liu Tongjia's action of giving Huo Jinyao a birthday cake yesterday, she felt that she could guess what Liu Tongjia was thinking.
If Liu Tongjia really wanted to improve her relationship with Huo Jinyao, it would be really great.
While she was still thinking about it, Huo Jinyao had already come out of the ward. As soon as he came out, the rest of the Huo family wanted to go into the ward.
"Grandpa said that he's tired and needs to rest. There are doctors and nurses here, so you can go back first."
"What makes you say that? Huo Jinyao, why is Old Master in the hospital because of you? What are you doing now? "
Nian Chunya was angry. As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Mingmei also spoke.
"Yes. Jinyao, it's my father who is sleeping in there. What? Are you still thinking of using the emperor to order the nobles? "
"Grandpa is really tired. He needs to rest. You can go." Huo Jinyao blocked the door of the ward.
Huo Mingmei was furious. She turned to look at Huo Mingguang and said, "Brother, look, look."
Huo Mingguang glanced at Huo Jinyao and said, "Your grandfather won't even let me in, will he? Get out of the way. I'll go in and have a look. "
Huo Jinyao glanced at him and moved a little to the side. "Just go in alone."
"Brother, go in quickly and tell Dad that I want to go in to see him."
"Yes, me too." Huo Mingliang and Huo Mingmei rushed to speak. Huo Mingguang rarely showed some impatience. He glanced at them and went into the ward.
However, Huo Mingguang didn't stay for long and soon came out. After coming out, he first glanced at Huo Jinyao with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
"You can all go. Dad said that he's tired. He needs to rest. "
Since Huo Mingguang said so, the others couldn't stay even if they wanted to. However, Huo Mingmei wasn't willing to give up. "Humph, Dad was angry because of you. Huo Jinyao, you're really a good descendant of our Huo family. "
"That's right. If it weren't for you, how could Old Master Huo have encountered this? "
Huo Jinyao stood there and didn't seem to hear their criticism. However, Huo Mingguang's face was a little gloomy.
"Have you said enough? If you have, you can all leave. Let Dad rest. "
Since the boss had spoken, the others had no choice but to leave. Soon, the corridor was empty. Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao.
"Is Grandpa really sleeping?"
"Yes." Old Master Huo was old. After being tossed around all morning and almost suffering a stroke, he was indeed not in good spirits.
"Jinyao, don't worry. I've asked Doctor Huang. Grandpa will be fine."
Doctor Huang was the doctor who had just diagnosed Old Master Huo. Since he said that Old Master Huo was fine, then he should be fine.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her and reached out to hold her in his arms. His chin rested on the top of her head, but he didn't say anything.
He thought about how Old Master Huo was clearly in poor spirits just now, but he still insisted on finishing what he wanted to say.
"Jinyao, you've really grown up now. You have an idea. "
"I was indeed very angry, but now that I think about it, I don't think I should be angry."
He cared about the Huo family's reputation, but he forgot to consider the big picture. With Huo Yifan's personality, if he didn't teach him a lesson, he was afraid that he would cause more trouble in the future.
"You're capable now. After so many years, you've also gained experience. I was a little worried about you at first, but now that I think about it, it seems that there's nothing to worry about. "
Old Master Huo let out a long sigh. "This time, I didn't think it through. In the future, let Huo Yifan and the others do whatever they want to do. "
"Jinyao." Old Master Huo looked at Huo Jinyao. He was the heir that he had trained. He would also be the future heir of the Huo family.
"I'll ask Lawyer Chen to come later. I've decided to make a will first. "
"Grandpa, don't say that." Huo Jinyao had thought that Old Master Huo had asked him to stay to criticize him. He had even prepared how to refute it.
But now, Old Master Huo's words made him completely at a loss. "You'll live to a hundred years old. What will you make? I don't need it. "
"I'm old. After what happened today, I've also accepted it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I don't want to worry about it anymore. "
"Grandpa –"
"Alright. Go out. I want to rest for a while. "
For Huo Jinyao, he really didn't want to help Huo Yifan reduce his crime. He had even thought that this would result in a long-term confrontation with the Huo family.
However, the current situation was beyond his expectations. First, Liu Tongjia had expressed her stance, and then Old Master Huo had expressed his stance.
With their statements, even if Huo Mingguang and the others had any objections, there was nothing they could do.
After all, the most powerful person in the Huo family now was Old Master Huo. With his support, even if others wanted to do anything, they would have to worry about Old Master Huo.
There was no need to tell Su Qingsang all this. She only needed to know that he was fine. No matter what, the problem had been solved.
No, it wasn't completely solved. Huo Jinyao's eyes were as sharp as ever when he thought of the two people who still wanted to appeal.
As expected, Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen filed another appeal the next day. The two of them appealed from the municipal court to the provincial court.
Huo Jinyao knew that they wouldn't give up so easily, so he let them do as they pleased. In the end, the second trial upheld the original verdict. Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen would still have to spend the next few years in prison.
After the second trial ended, another half a month passed. Rong City was getting hotter and hotter.
Huo Jinyao looked at Qi Xiwei, who had a big belly. After not seeing her for nearly a month, her belly seemed to have grown a little bigger.
Not only was her belly bigger, but her face was also much paler.
"Thank you for this time. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have made Huo Yifan pay so easily."
He could have used other methods to send Huo Yifan to prison, but because of Qi Xiwei's help, this was the fastest and easiest way.
"Jinyao, we're classmates and good friends. You don't have to be so polite."
"I'm not being polite. I just think it's what I should do."
As Huo Jinyao spoke, he looked at Qi Xiwei with concern. "Why do I feel that your complexion is worse than last time? Did you go for a checkup? "
"It's okay. Pregnant people are all like this."
Qi Xiwei smiled, but her face was too pale. That smile looked rather weak.
"Really?" Huo Jinyao didn't believe her. He thought of Su Qingsang, who always wanted a child.
However, if Su Qingsang was like this when she was pregnant, he really didn't want Su Qingsang to get pregnant.
"Of course. Don't worry. I know my body. It's really fine. "
Although Qi Xiwei said that, Huo Jinyao planned to ask someone to come here to check on her next time if she refused to go out.
Perhaps he could go back and tell Su Qingsang.
Huo Jinyao left Qi Xiwei's villa and got into the car. Only then did he remember that he had bought a thank you gift for Qi Xiwei before he came. It was to thank her for her help this time.
He got out of the car with the gift he had bought and planned to leave after giving it to Qi Xiwei.
However, before he could reach the villa where Qi Xiwei lived. He saw a man walking towards Qi Xiwei's house.
The man didn't seem to notice Huo Jinyao behind him. Huo Jinyao had just left, and the door was ajar. The auntie who took care of Qi Xiwei had just gone out to buy groceries and hadn't returned yet.
The door wasn't closed, and the man walked in directly. Huo Jinyao watched as the man walked in on his own and followed behind him without thinking.
"I've finally found you."
The man's words made Huo Jinyao stop in his tracks. Soon, he heard Qi Xiwei's voice.
"What are you doing here? Get lost. "
Qi Xiwei's voice sounded a notch higher than usual, as if she was very excited.
Soon, he heard the man's voice. "You're still pregnant with my child. Why do you think I'm here?"
"This child is mine. I don't want to see you. Get out. "
"The child is yours? Ha, ridiculous. Without me, how could you have a child? "
The man's voice sounded arrogant and smug. Qi Xiwei's voice became more and more excited.
"I don't want to see you. Get lost."
"It's easy for you to tell me to get lost. Give birth to the child in your stomach and give it to me. I'll naturally leave. "
"Dream on. I won't give the child to you. "
Before Huo Jinyao could leave because of this conversation, he heard Qi Xiwei cry out in a low voice.
He couldn't care less about anything else and quickly rushed into the house.
The man from earlier was standing less than two meters away from the door. Qi Xiwei was originally sitting, but now, her face was pale and she was holding her stomach with one hand.
"What kind of show are you putting on now?"
The man stood there motionlessly, his voice full of mockery.
Huo Jinyao glared at him. At this moment, he couldn't care less about dealing with him. He walked to Qi Xiwei in a few steps.
"Xiwei, are you okay?"
"I, I …" Qi Xiwei said a few words, and her face turned even paler.
"Xiwei. How are you? "
