An Xiaowan had been beaten, frightened, and in pain. She was already very tired. After a while, she muttered to herself, leaned on his shoulder, and fell asleep.
Huo Shen was stunned when he heard her words.
Then, in the silent march, he nodded. yes.
Even if it was for her sake, he had to work hard to protect himself.
â¦â¦
The atmosphere in the ye familyâs old residence was a little heavy.
old master huo quickly went back to his room and closed the door immediately, as if he didnât want to talk to anyone.
grandma wu took small steps and tried to walk as fast as she could. only then did she reach the door ten minutes after he entered.
she held onto the railing and gasped for breath before raising her hand and gently knocking on his door.
no one responded.
Grandma Wu panted again and said softly, â âItâs me, old Huo.â
There was still no sound.
she thought for a moment and knocked on the door again. she was worried about old master huoâs condition, so she said anxiously, â iâll wait here if you donât open the door. â
Inside the house, old master Huo was sitting at his desk. When he heard the persistent voice outside, he sighed and got up helplessly.
He walked to the door and pulled it open.
Grandma Wuâs breathing was a little rushed. She had walked so quickly that she still hadnât recovered.
seeing the layer of sweat on her forehead, old master huo forgot about blocking her outside and let grandma wu in.
Grandma Wu sat down on a small chair by the desk and caught her breath. She looked at old master Huo and asked, â you left in such a hurry. Is ran ran okay? â
âI should be the one asking you that.â old master huo said directly.
âYouâre still the same as before,â grandma Wu said helplessly with a smile.
If there was something, she would keep it in her heart and throw the topic to others when asked, even her attitude was a little bad. However, he wasnât completely against company. In fact, he still needed a little care.
âdonât force yourself, just say what you want.â Grandma Wu shook her head and said,âI know. Youâre feeling guilty, arenât you?â In fact, you wonât lose face if you say it out loud. Instead, youâll set a good example for the younger generation.â
old master huo was silent for a while, and his expression changed.
finally, he let out a breath and said in a deep voice, â âWhat do you think?â
grandma wu looked at him a few times, cleared her throat, and said, â âYou want to hear the truth?â
âYes.â
âYouâre not angry?â
âYes.â
after getting this promise, grandma wu said in a low voice, â âthen iâll be honest. from my personal point of view, i think youâre wrong.â
old master huo turned his face away and looked out of the window.
grandma wu continued in a gentle voice, â but everyone makes mistakes in life. if you donât really make a mistake once, how will you know if itâs a mistake? There were good and bad family rules that were too cold and hard. If it werenât for such strict implementation, perhaps the Huo family would have produced many prodigal sons or fought for the family business until it was bloody. However, for me, I naturally wish for warmth.â
âA clan needs to be strict and cold in order to advance perfectly. of course, we also need warmth to let the family feel emotional.â
Hearing grandma Wuâs long speech, old master Huo didnât show any expression, but he pursed his lips.
âYingluo had my own considerations.â he said in a hoarse voice.
That woman had nothing but her appearance. She wasnât worthy of Qilin, and might even affect his path.
a marriage like that would only bring harm and no benefit.
