Chapter 143 - Birthday Party
Love Again: Flash Marriage with My Arrogant Sweetheart
âDad, what happened to you today? Why is it so strange?â Huo Yunxi frowned as he faintly felt that something was strange.
Huo Zhengxiong shook his head, touched his daughterâs hair and smiled, âAlright, I feel tired and want to rest for a while. You can go back first.â
Hearing the sound of Huo Yunxi tiptoeing away and the door of the ward being closed, Huo Zhengxiongâs closed eyes opened again, and he was thinking about all sorts of things.
Although the doctor said that his body was fine, but just in case, some things were better planned early.
âSecretary Song, come to my ward at nine tomorrow morning.â
After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhengxiong felt a little more at ease. He closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning, Huo Zhengxiongâs ward was filled with people from the Huo Clan. Seeing Xia Luobing standing beside Huo Yunxi, Liu Yan turned around irritably.
Today, Huo Zhengxiong had all the people in the family come here, so she had no confidence, so she did not have the mood to face Xia Luobing coldly with her eyebrows crossed.
âSister-in-law, what do you think father is going to do?â Huo Yunxi looked in the direction of the ward uneasily.
Charlotte shook her head.
Huo Yunqi and Feng Shuo stood on the side with silent expressions, making it impossible for others to see through their thoughts.
âCreak!â
The ward door opened. Lawyer Song, who had golden eyes, opened the ward door from the inside to take care of the people outside.
âOld Master, whatâs wrong with you?â Liu Yan looked at Huo Zhengxiong worriedly.
She had to be strong all her life, and she was also angry about Huo Zhengxiongâs cheating back then, but after all, they had supported each other for most of her life. Seeing Huo Zhengxiong clearly getting older these past few days, she felt really uncomfortable in her heart.
âAll of you, sit down!â Huo Zhengxiong leaned against the pillow and his spirits were pretty good. He looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice, âI called you here today because of the will!â
âDad!â Huo Yunqi frowned and said in a deep voice, âThe doctor said that your operation was a success!â
Huo Yunxi wiped his tears and sobbed, âDad, donât scare me!â
Feng Shuo frowned as he watched Huo Zhengxiong remain silent.
Liu Yan wiped her eyes with a napkin and looked at the three of them. She said in a deep voice, âListen to your father.â
Huo Zhengxiong patted Liu Yanâs hand and signaled for Lawyer Song to show the contents of the will to the three of them. Then, he said indifferently, âI have 30% of the shares in the company. Yunqi and Feng Shuo each have 10%, Luo Bing and your mother each have 5%.â
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment and frowned, âWhereâs Yunxi?â
Although she felt that Huo Zhengxiongâs testament was a little unreliable, she couldnât help but notice these details since she had already said this.
Huo Yunxi hurriedly shook his head, âMom, I donât want it!â
She was already very happy that her father had allowed her to be with Ye Shaochen.
Huo Yunqi said in a deep voice, âGrandpa left 10% of the shares to Yun Xi before he died. Leave them to me for safekeeping before he gets married.â
Huo Zhengxiong knew about this.
Huo Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were wet, âGrandpa â¦â
She had always felt that her grandfather liked her big brother and did not like her very much. She did not expect that her grandfather would leave her shares early.
Charlotte wasnât a sentimental person, but she couldnât help but feel her throat dry when she talked about the will in such a solemn setting in the ward. âI donât want it,â she whispered.
âLuo Bing, in the future, you and Yunqi will support each other and live a good life.â Huo Zhengxiong looked at the two of them and said.
Xia Luo Bing wanted to say something else, but Huo Yunqi held her hand from behind. Her slightly cold palm made Xia Luo Bing couldnât help but look up at him. Huo Yunqiâs eyes were filled with exhaustion and pleading.
He didnât want her to say that the two of them were about to divorce at this time, so Xia Luobing could only nod at Huo Zhengxiong and say, âThank you, Dad.â
âIf thereâs nothing else, all of you can go back.â Huo Zhengxiong looked at the three of them and said indifferently, âJust let your mother stay with me.â
Liu Yan nodded and signaled for Huo Yunqi and the others to leave.
There were only two people left in the ward, but Liu Yanâs eyes became increasingly damp. She muttered, âI shouldnât have treated you so badly these past few years â¦â
Because of Feng Shuoâs matter, Liu Yan could not get past that obstacle in her heart. She only felt that Huo Zhengxiong owed her, and his temper became even more arrogant and domineering. She did not expect that he would endure for so many years
âIâm sorry.â Huo Zhengxiong reached out to wipe Liu Yanâs tears and comforted her, âAm I not fine? Iâm just making a will just in case. Donât worry.â
Liu Yan quickly wiped away her tears and nodded her head, âI know, once you recover, letâs go to Europe, no matter what happens here.â
âAlright.â Huo Zhengxiong nodded at Liu Yan, âIâve seen that child Ye Shaochen. Heâs not bad. You can help Yunxi.â
Liu Yan frowned, âBut â¦â
âYou, you have to have a strong personality, and Yunqiâs personality is cold. Donât be awkward with your daughter because of this.â Huo Zhengxiong held Liu Yanâs hand and sighed, âWhat if I donât show up one day?â
âStop talking. Iâll just promise them!â Liu Yan hurriedly nodded her head, âYou be fine, I promise them everything!â
Yunqi and Xia Luobing sat on the bench in the hospital garden. After a long silence, Xia Luobing said, âI will pay you back the shares in the future.â
âBing Bing, letâs not talk about this now, okay?â Huo Yunqi pinched her heart and said in a deep voice, âIâm too tired.â
Xia Luobing was stunned. The resistance in his heart quietly collapsed, and his heart started to ache. He nodded and said, âAlright, donât worry too much. Dad will be fine!â
Huo Yunqi remained silent for a while and said indifferently, âMy relationship with Dad has never been close. I donât like his cowardice and irresponsibility, but today I feel like I never understood him.â
The hospital was a depressing and reflective place. After Huo Yunqi finished speaking, she fell silent. He didnât say anything else. Xia Luobing just sat there quietly and stayed silent with him.
Feng Shuo stood not far away from Lian Lang and looked at the two people sitting together. His expression was ugly. Huo Yunqi already held the shares left to him by the old president of Huo Clan, but Huo Zhengxiong still gave him 10%. Doesnât this mean that he never had a chance to turn around in front of Huo Yunqi?
Wasnât there any guilt when he killed his mother?
Anger, unwillingness like hot oil poured on the blaze, the raging fire almost made him lose his rationality: âI am unwilling.â
Since Huo Zhengxiong had never treated him like a son, he didnât have to worry so much. He would definitely make everyone regret treating him like this!
Feng Shuo did not look at the two people nestling together anymore. The figure that turned around and left carried an indescribable coldness and determination.
At Huo Zhengxiongâs insistence, the doctor finally agreed to let him out of the hospital, but repeatedly warned him not to get angry, otherwise he would definitely not be so lucky next time.
âHow about we stay a few more days?â Liu Yan asked cautiously with a nervous expression, âWhy are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital?â
Huo Zhengxiong patted her hand on the sofa and smiled, âI canât celebrate my birthday in the hospital, can I?â
Seeing that Huo Zhengxiongâs spirits were indeed much better than before, Liu Yan felt a little relieved. Seeing Huo Yunxi come in, she pretended to be angry and said, âYour fatherâs birthday is going to be a little more lively. You should eat more snacks and donât run around.â
âAlright!â Huo Yunxi hurriedly nodded his head and trotted over. He hooked Huo Zhengxiongâs neck and said coquettishly, âDad, if you have any ideas, I will definitely do it!â
Huo Zhengxiong patted his daughterâs face and smiled, âThere is no need to go to a hotel this year, nor to invite anyone else. Itâs fine for a family to sit and eat together.â
âFather is in good health. There are too many people making noise. The family is fine.â Huo Yunxi said with a smile.
Liu Yan glared at Huo Yunxi with an awkward expression, âWhen the time comes, call that Ye Shaochen over.â
âMom?â Huo Yunxiâs beautiful eyes widened in surprise, âAre you telling the truth?â
âYes.â Liu Yan nodded, âYour father agreed. I have no choice.â
Huo Zhengxiongâs birthday party was scheduled for the weekend night. Huo Yunqi picked up Xia Luobing from work and went back to the Huo Clan. Feng Shuo had already arrived home a step earlier and was talking with Huo Zhengxiong. Houyun Xi would occasionally joke and laugh in the living room. It was very lively.
âDad, Mom.â Xia Luobing greeted Huo Zhengxiong and Liu Yan with a smile, âThis is a present I gave to Dad.â
Today, it was rare for the old man to be happy. Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi also acted like a bunch of loving couples. Everything presented a perfect beauty.
âEveryone is here. Letâs eat!â Liu Yan rarely looked at Xia Luobing and personally came to help Huo Zhengxiong into the restaurant.
Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing sat together. Huo Yunxi sat next to Xia Luobing, followed by Ye Shaochen, Feng Shuo, and Huo Zhengxiong.
âDad, I wish you good health.â Huo Yunqi raised a glass of wine to Huo Zhengxiong and said, âDrink some water.â
Huo Zhengxiong nodded and smiled, âGood, good!â
Then there was Xia Luobing. Huo Zhengxiong smiled and nodded his head. He was much more loving than before. âBing Bing, Dad wants you to be with Yunqi.â
Liu Yan glanced at Xia Luobing and said indifferently, âIf you really have filial piety, you should have a child earlier. In the future, the two of us will just take care of our grandchildren and not interfere in your lives.â
Xia Luobing âs face turned pale, child? In this lifetime, she would probably never have a child!
Sensing that Xia Luobingâs expression was not good, Huo Yunxi tugged at her clothes and stood up with a smile, âItâs time for me to propose a toast to Dad.â
Seeing that Xia Luobing did not respond, Liu Yanâs expression was a little bad. She said in a deep voice, âDid you listen to me?â
Originally, in front of the old man, she had already made concessions. This Xia Luobing still had this attitude, so it would be strange if she wasnât angry!
âMom, today is Dadâs birthday.â Huo Yunqi said in a deep voice, âLetâs not talk about these things today!â
Liu Yan frowned and looked at Huo Zhengxiong. Although she was unwilling, she still swallowed the words that had already reached her mouth.
âBing Bing, you should have a child.â Huo Zhengxiong said seriously, âFather is not well, and I hope to see my grandson soon. Those shares will be my greeting gift to my grandson.â
