"Mom." Huo Jinyao's tone was soft. "Qingsang and I are not what you think. Qingsang is not what you think either. As for Uncle, he is not what you think either. "
Seeing that Liu Tongjia was still angry, Huo Jinyao didn't want to explain. However, he remembered that Liu Tongjia wasn't the one who poisoned him.
At that time, he was blinded by anger. Now that he looked back, there were many suspicious points.
After all, no matter how much Liu Tongjia disliked him, she couldn't ignore the Huo family's reputation. Not to mention that there were so many guests and relatives there that day.
She wouldn't have made a big deal out of it, and she wouldn't have allowed such a thing to happen. He was prejudiced and a little paranoid.
Because of this, Huo Jinyao didn't look so angry.
"You have been poisoned by Su Qingsang. You are out of your mind. "
Liu Tongjia was very angry. She took a step forward. For the first time in so many years, she took the initiative to approach Huo Jinyao.
"Jinyao. I didn't stop you from doing anything you did before. If you wanted to find someone with a lower status, I wouldn't stop you. But Su Qingsang can't. She has a moral problem. Jinyao, I won't allow a person with a moral problem to be your wife and the future mistress of the Huo family. "
After all, not everyone could become the matriarch of the Huo family.
Huo Jinyao knew that she was angry and disliked Su Qingsang. He didn't care about some things before, but now he couldn't ignore them.
"Mom. Calm down and be objective. "Huo Jinyao put his hands on Liu Tongjia's shoulders. His expression was calm.
"I am calm. I am calm. That's why I thought …"
"I know how Uncle feels about Qingsang."
His words interrupted Liu Tongjia. She stared at Huo Jinyao with her eyes wide open. "What, what did you say?"
"I know you like Qingsang." Huo Jinyao's expression was very calm. "No. "No, maybe it's not enough. It should be love. He loves Qingsang. "
Liu Tongjia's face turned pale. She stared at Huo Jinyao.
"But Qingsang doesn't know."
"How is that possible? She … "
"Mom." Huo Jinyao had a feeling that he was back when he was a teenager. Liu Tongjia blamed him for all those things. Back then, he didn't want to explain himself, but this time, he wanted to.
"Uncle probably didn't know Qingsang's identity when he met her."
Huo Jinyao didn't know what to say. There were some things he knew, but he didn't want to ruin his relationship with Su Qingsang with suspicion.
"Qingsang doesn't know what you're thinking. What you saw was just an accident."
"Accident? That time — "
"I will find the person who drugged him." He would not allow such a person to exist in the Huo family. It wasn't too difficult to investigate these matters.
"But please believe me on one point. Qingsang had absolutely no feelings for her uncle. I know they may often come across something that makes you uncomfortable. But in fact, I'm really glad that you had feelings for Su Qingsang. "
"Huo Jinyao." How could he say something like that? Was he still a man? Liu Tongjia's face turned green.
"Mom. Uncle saved Qingsang's life. "Huo Jinyao held her shoulder and tightened his grip." I almost lost Qingsang. Almost. "
"The last time I went to C City, there was an earthquake. Qingsang was trapped under the rubble. It was her uncle who saved her. Mom. I don't care what you think of Uncle, and I don't want to care what you think of Qingsang. But I hope you understand that I'm very grateful to Uncle. From the bottom of my heart. "
Liu Tongjia didn't know about these things, and no one would tell her. She thought about the earthquake that killed hundreds of people, and that her son had also stayed there for many days.
At that time, she was very worried about Huo Jinyao and blamed Su Qingsang in her heart. However, she didn't know that Su Qingsang had almost died.
"I'm jealous that the person who appeared that day wasn't me. But I'm also glad that Uncle was there that day. Otherwise, I would have lost Qingsang now. "
And that outcome was absolutely unacceptable to him.
"Mom. You didn't do it that day. I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. "
Liu Tongjia couldn't keep up with her thoughts. She looked at Huo Jinyao. It was the first time in so many years that she had heard her son apologize.
Her lips moved. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Mom. I'm sorry. "Huo Jinyao apologized very seriously." I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. "
Liu Tongjia's eyes were not only red, but also a little sour and hot. She felt something coming out of her eyes.
"Mom, let's get over what happened in the past, okay? Qingsang is a good girl. I hope you can put aside your prejudices and seriously accept her. You'll find that she's better than you think. "
Liu Tongjia didn't hear the second half of the sentence. She only heard the first sentence.
"Jinyao?"
Huo Jinyao turned his face slightly. When he looked at Liu Tongjia again, his expression was a little excited. At least, he wasn't as calm as he appeared.
It was Liu Tongjia's birthday today. She came to look for him yesterday. On his birthday, Liu Tongjia brought a cake to his apartment.
Huo Jinyao thought about it and understood some things very clearly.
It would be a lie to say that there was no barrier in his heart at all and that he didn't mind at all. However, Liu Tongjia was his mother, the person who gave birth to him.
Especially after seeing how haggard Qi Xiwei had made herself because of her pregnancy, he sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Liu Tongjia had also had such a hard time when she was pregnant back then.
Some things were in the past. It was hard to recall the past.
Even if he couldn't be as close to Liu Tongjia as a normal mother and son, he really didn't want to be like an enemy to Liu Tongjia anymore.
Huo Jinyao looked at Liu Tongjia and used a very soft voice to hide the trace of helplessness in the depths of his heart. "Can I?"
Liu Tongjia's lips trembled. She blinked her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
At this moment, she couldn't care less about Su Qingsang. She just looked at Huo Jinyao in disbelief.
He had scolded her viciously just now. He had clearly misunderstood her actions of taking the initiative to express goodwill several times.
Now that he had put on such an attitude, Liu Tongjia couldn't accept it. For a moment, she thought that there was something wrong with her ears.
"Jinyao?"
Perhaps because she couldn't believe it, Liu Tongjia's expression changed a few times. She hastily wiped away her tears and looked at Huo Jinyao with some uncertainty.
"Jinyao, is what you said true?"
"Yes. It's all true, Mom. " Huo Jinyao nodded. No matter what, he was willing to repair this mother-son relationship with Liu Tongjia.
Liu Tongjia stood there motionlessly. She was a little emotional. She didn't think that it would be so easy to repair their mother-son relationship with Huo Jinyao, but at least this was a beginning.
The great joy made her speechless. One moment, she was a little surprised, and the next moment, she was a little regretful.
Would he be angry at her for treating him like that before?
Her emotions were complicated. At this moment, she couldn't care less about Su Qingsang. She was only thinking about what Huo Jinyao had said.
He was willing to repair their relationship again. He was willing to start all over again. Although it was ridiculous to say that, after all, they were mother and son.
But she was really excited, inexplicably excited. Her shoulders were slightly shaking. She lowered her head and couldn't find her voice.
Huo Jinyao looked at her. He really didn't know that Liu Tongjia cared about him so much. Inexplicably, he felt a little sad, but he didn't say a word.
Although the temperature outside was getting better, it was getting late. Huo Jinyao looked in the direction of the main house.
"Mom, let's go in."
Liu Tongjia nodded. Seeing that Huo Jinyao was about to leave, she suddenly pulled his sleeve.
"Jinyao?"
"Mom?"
"You … Did you mean what you said just now?" She asked a little nervously and didn't know what to do.
"Yes." He meant it. He also wanted to divert Liu Tongjia's attention. He wanted her to stop staring at Su Qingsang.
Liu Tongjia smiled again and wiped the tears on her face.
"Good. Good. Very good. Very good. "
The words "good" were enough to explain Liu Tongjia's current mood. When they walked to the door of the greenhouse, Liu Tongjia suddenly stopped.
"Jinyao. I'm sorry. "
Huo Jinyao was stunned by her sudden apology. He turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
"I'm sorry," Liu Tongjia said again. She lowered her head and seemed to be a little embarrassed. "I … I really wasn't a good mother. Jinyao. I … "
It was difficult to admit that she was wrong.
Although Liu Tongjia wanted to reconcile with Huo Jinyao, she had made too many mistakes in the past ten years. She was actually worried that Huo Jinyao wouldn't forgive her.
"Mom, it's okay. It's all in the past. "
He had grown up. He was no longer the boy who had nightmares at night and wanted his mother to comfort him.
He was not the kind of person who would go against the heavens and the earth just because of a moment of anger and make everyone unhappy.
Since it was all in the past, he would let it go.
"Jinyao?"
"Mom, it's all in the past. Then let it go. Don't even think about it. "
Liu Tongjia's heart was in turmoil. She had a lot to say, but she couldn't say a word.
Huo Jinyao walked outside and took the initiative to stand with Liu Tongjia.
The main house was brightly lit. Huo Jinyao walked very slowly, taking care of Liu Tongjia's emotions.
"Mom?"
"Go ahead."
"Qingsang is the person I chose. I know you have some prejudices against her. But she's really a very good woman. She's not what you think, so don't target her in the future. "
"But –"
"Uncle saved her life, and he's a relative of the Huo family. It's impossible for the two of them not to see each other in the future. I've already told uncle about this. What happened before was an accident. Don't take it to heart. "
"Accident?" Liu Tongjia still felt wronged for her son. "Do you know that they went to buy gifts together today?"
Liu Tongjia looked at Huo Jinyao with heartache in her eyes. "Jinyao, I don't hate her. I just feel sorry for you. You protect her wholeheartedly, but she has ulterior motives. Do you know that I … "
"Mom." Huo Jinyao had a headache. "Wan Xianyang and uncle know each other. It's normal for uncle and Qingsang to run into each other in his shop. Can't you think so much? "
"Yes, it's normal to run into each other in Wan Xianyang's shop. Is it normal to run into each other in our house? "
Liu Tongjia was so angry that she almost lost control. Her voice was a little louder than before.
"Mom, of course it's normal for Qingsang to go to Wan Xianyang's shop to buy gifts for you. As for coming to our house, Grandpa is uncle's uncle. It's normal for him to visit Grandpa. You're not going to blame Qingsang for Uncle's visit every time he comes, are you? "
Huo Jinyao didn't hear Qingsang talk about buying gifts, but he could roughly guess.
It would be ridiculous to think that Su Qingsang and Zhang Yichen met each other because of a romantic relationship. He wasn't a person who couldn't tell right from wrong.
"But –"
"Mom, Qingsang doesn't know about Uncle's feelings. She only sees him as an elder and a relative. If you continue like this, Qingsang might really find out. You have to know that Uncle saved Qingsang's life. If Qingsang finds out about Uncle's feelings, what will she do? "
Huo Jinyao's life, except for the disaster that happened to him when he was young, had been pretty much anything he wanted.
However, he wasn't blindly arrogant. There was always someone better than him. There were people more powerful than him. He admitted that Zhang Yichen was one of the people who was stronger than him.
Even if Zhang Yichen wasn't his rival in love or his uncle, Huo Jinyao still admired him. He had an indescribable appreciation for Zhang Yichen.
He was honest and upright. Even if he liked Qingsang, he didn't do anything. His relationship with Zhang Yichen couldn't go back to how it used to be. But he didn't want to become enemies with him like this.
More importantly, he didn't want Qingsang to feel embarrassed when she found out. She would feel uncomfortable when she was with Zhang Yichen in the future. It would be best to treat him as a relative and uncle.
Liu Tongjia had a complicated expression on her face. She didn't like Qingsang, but Huo Jinyao's words seemed to make sense.
If Qingsang didn't mean it, she kept saying it. Maybe Huo Jinyao was interested in her even if she didn't mean it.
"But –"
"No buts. Mom, I trust Qingsang's character, and Uncle's character. I trust Uncle more. If you want, you can do what you did in the past and in the future. "
Liu Tongjia finally stopped talking. The two of them walked to the gate and happened to meet Zhang Yichen, who was walking out.
"Cousin-in-law, Jinyao."
"Uncle." Huo Jinyao greeted Zhang Yichen very calmly. "Are you leaving? It's so late. You can leave tomorrow. "
"No need." Zhang Yichen glanced at Huo Jinyao and shook his head. "I have a mission in the army. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you."
"Okay, but it's so late. Be careful on the road, Uncle."
"I know. Thank you. "
Zhang Yichen bowed, said goodbye to Liu Tongjia, and then left.
He got into the car. After starting the car, Zhang Yichen glanced at the Huo family's gate again. His eyes were gloomy. He thought of Su Qingsang, who came in from the garden, when he sent Old Master Huo back to his room.
She stood at the corner of the stairs and saw him coming downstairs. She called him.
"Uncle."
Zhang Yichen stopped and looked at Su Qingsang, not knowing why she called him.
"Uncle, I haven't thanked you for what happened in C City last time."
Zhang Yichen frowned, and his expression was a little cold. "You already thanked me at the hospital."
"That's different." Su Qingsang's eyes were clear, and there was a hidden meaning in them. "It's not enough to thank you for saving my life."
Zhang Yichen's expression became more and more serious, but Su Qingsang suddenly smiled. "Uncle, I know what you're capable of, and I'm afraid that with your status, you won't need me. But I still have to say, if you need me in the future, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best. "
"Even if I can't do it, Jinyao will help me. After all, you're Jinyao's uncle, and I'm Jinyao's wife. That will never change. "
Zhang Yichen looked at her face and seemed to understand. Su Qingsang turned her body to the side. "Uncle, you're not an ordinary person, so you should have a lot of work to do. I won't see you out. Take care, Uncle. "
He understood at that moment that she must have known. She knew what he was thinking, and she also knew the deepest secret in his heart.
Yes. She was such a smart woman. Even if he tried to restrain himself, how could she not see it?
He didn't expect that she would directly ask him to leave after she found out. She would reveal that kind of information again.
At that moment, he was really crazy with jealousy. He was jealous of Huo Jinyao. Thinking of the tone of her last sentence, he suddenly smiled.
Forget it. He had made two great contributions this time, and the higher-ups couldn't reward him anymore. After all, he was not old enough. If he continued to rise, it would be too fast.
The higher-ups wanted him to go to the southwest to train the newly established secret force. Since that was the case, he would accept the task.
He would have to stay there for at least two or three years. In another two or three years, he might forget about these thoughts.
Zhang Yichen took a deep look at the old house of the Huo family, then started the car and left. This time, he wouldn't come back for a while.
…
When Huo Jinyao returned to his room, Su Qingsang had just finished the video call with Li Qianxue. As soon as she went upstairs, she received a video call from Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue really cared about her. Today was Liu Tongjia's birthday. She was always worried that if the gift wasn't to Liu Tongjia's liking, she would make things difficult for her poor daughter again.
Su Qingsang had to repeatedly say that Liu Tongjia liked the bracelet very much. Although it wasn't a big party, the atmosphere was good, so she didn't have to worry.
"Who are you talking to?"
She seemed to have heard her talking before she entered the room. She came in and saw her lying on the bed with her phone in her hand, which confirmed her guess.
"What do you think?"
"Mother-in-law."
"Smart." Su Qingsang sat up. "My mother knew it was your mother's birthday, so she was very nervous. She was afraid that I didn't give her a good gift and made your mother unhappy. "
In fact, Liu Tongjia was indeed unhappy. Thinking of this, Su Qingsang felt a little embarrassed.
She had wanted to repair the relationship between Huo Jinyao and Liu Tongjia, but she didn't expect that not only would it not be repaired, but it would also make Liu Tongjia so angry at her.
"I didn't expect that my flattery would backfire. I made your mother completely angry. "
"That's not true. My mother is quite happy. "
Huo Jinyao walked to her side and sat down, but his words made Su Qingsang laugh. She turned her face to look at Huo Jinyao, with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.
"Huo Jinyao, you're quite good at lying through your teeth, aren't you?"
"What do you mean by lying through my teeth?"
"Your mother is forcing me to divorce you, but I'm not going to marry you. Why is she still happy? "
Judging from Liu Tongjia's attitude just now, not to mention divorce her, she would even eat her heart raw.
"She asked you to divorce her, so you divorced her? Didn't you agree? "
"It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. The important thing is whether you agree or not."
As Su Qingsang said this, she straightened up and held Huo Jinyao's face with both hands. Her expression changed to a serious one.
"Or, you've already promised your mother to divorce me, so your mother is happy?"
Huo Jinyao's reaction was to pull her hand down, put it to his lips, and bite it. "Nonsense again."
Su Qingsang pulled her hand back with force. She glared at Huo Jinyao and said, "If I'm not talking nonsense, then please tell me, Young Master Huo. What do you plan to do with me now?"
Huo Jinyao grabbed her hand again and held it in his arms. He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
"What do I plan to do with you? Hold hands for the rest of our lives and grow old together. What do you think? "
He said it in a joking tone, but he sounded very serious.
Su Qingsang looked at him, and her heart skipped a beat.
However, thinking of Huo Jinyao's attitude just now, she didn't believe him.
"You want to spend the rest of your life with me. Will your mother agree?"
"She was convinced by me."
Huo Jinyao's words made Su Qingsang's eyes widen. She couldn't believe it.
"How did you convince her?" She had always felt that making Liu Tongjia accept her was as difficult as climbing the Himalayas.
"Guess."
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Su Qingsang couldn't help but pinch her waist. She was still trying to keep her in suspense.
"I'll tell you if you kiss me."
Su Qingsang rolled her eyes at him, leaned over, and kissed him on the lips.
Huo Jinyao wasn't satisfied. He held her waist and deepened the kiss until Su Qingsang was out of breath. He didn't let her go until she was out of breath.
"I'll tell my mother. I'll tell her that you're the only wife I plan to marry in my life. If she insists on divorcing me, I won't marry anyone else in the future. I'll stay single until I'm old. If she's willing, I don't care. "
Why was this man so flippant? Su Qingsang looked at the expression on his face. She should have been moved, but she wanted to laugh at his flippant attitude.
"Will your mother agree if you say that?"
"What else?" Huo Jinyao looked at her and smiled. "She can't really let me stay single forever, can she? Then our branch will have no descendants. "
Su Qingsang patted Huo Jinyao's shoulder hard. However, she reached out to hold his waist and rubbed her face against his chest.
"Your mother won't object to it anymore, will she?"
"If I'm not wrong, she probably won't."
Su Qingsang was relieved. In fact, she wasn't afraid that Liu Tongjia would object. However, if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't get along and were always on opposite sides, she would feel very embarrassed.
More importantly, Huo Jinyao felt that way.
It wasn't that he didn't love Liu Tongjia anymore, and she didn't want to face Liu Tongjia's sarcasm and sarcasm every time she returned to the Huo family.
"That's great, Huo Jinyao. That's great."
