Chapter 278 The Old Man Wants to Bring Huo Qi Back
Qiao Chuchu walked out from behind the cashier with a kind smile on her face.
When she lowered her head, she noticed that Xiao Cheng was holding a red paper bag in his hand, which was a well-known jewelry brand.
"It's my mom's birthday today, and I came to buy her a present. I remembered that your store is nearby, so I came up to see you."
Qiao Chuchu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The Xiao family and the Jing family have been friends for generations. When she was first found by her parents, she recognized her ancestral roots and Xiao Cheng's mother even gave her a lot of gifts.
It would be fine if I didn’t know about my elders’ birthdays, but now that I know, how can I not express my gratitude?
"Brother Xiao Cheng, please wait a moment."
Qiao Chuchu walked to the accessories section of the store, carefully selected two silk scarves, and packed them in gift boxes.
"This is a designer model from our store. Although it's not as good as those famous brands, fortunately the material is good. Time is tight, so just consider it a little gift from me."
Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows. His mother was not a person who liked luxury. The price of a gift was not what mattered, but the thought that went into it.
"Okay, I'll pass it to her for you."
Qiao Chuchu kept smiling and said, "I've been busy recently. I'll go see Uncle Xiao and Auntie when I'm free."
Xiao Cheng nodded, his eyes softening.
"I heard from Jing An that you have moved back now?"
He was referring to Lishuiju.
Qiao Chuchu hummed, not knowing why he suddenly asked this.
Xiao Cheng looked down at her and it seemed that she and Huo Yunzheng had reconciled.
"It's okay. I was just asking. I didn't see you when I went to visit the old man last time."
Qiao Chuchu smiled embarrassedly. She had indeed not been back to the Jing family for some time.
She has been busy with her studies and store affairs recently, and Jiuer has been living in Lishui for some time, so she has only talked to her parents on the phone.
I should go back this weekend. Although my parents didn’t say it, Qiao Chuchu knew that they must be missing her.
And grandpa, as long as she is at home, he will talk about preparing something delicious and fun for her, and he takes care of her like a child.
"It's getting late, I have to go. By the way, this is for you." Xiao Cheng said, taking out two invitations.
Qiao Chuchu took it curiously and looked down.
"You can take Zi Yan out to play when you have time. I think he'll be interested."
Admission ticket to the simulated space experience chamber.
This recently launched project provides an all-round immersive experience, which is no different from real space exploration.
Children love it, but the ticket price is high and hard to get.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Cheng." Qiao Chuchu accepted it.
Xiao Cheng said that the ticket was given to him by someone else, he didn't have any need for it, and there were no other children in his family, so he thought of Zi Yan.
"I'll be leaving now. If you need any help, feel free to call me."
Qiao Chuchu sent him out the door and returned to the store, only to see several shop assistants looking at her with gossipy eyes.
"Sister Chuchu, who is this guy? He's so handsome."
"Really? I think he looks no worse than Mr. Huo. Sister Chuchu, is he your relative? What does he do?"
Qiao Chuchu and Xu Ke are very kind to others. Although the girls in the store are employees, they have become sisters over this period of time and are dedicated to making the Jinzhi brand better and better.
"They are relatives and friends, I guess." Qiao Chuchu said lightly.
Then she put the ticket away and went back to ask Zi Yan if he was interested.
……
Inside the Huo family’s old house.
Huo Yunzheng hurried back, got out of the car, looked at the housekeeper, and asked coldly: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The housekeeper bowed his head and said respectfully, "It's the matter of the third house."
Huo Qi?
Huo Yunzheng paused, glanced at the housekeeper, and then went to the front hall.
"grandfather."
Huo Yunzheng greeted them and noticed that in addition to Huo Liancheng, Huo Shan and Shi Shi were also there. Huo Jiachuan, who was supposed to be meeting a client outside, was also called back by a phone call.
Seeing his grandson, Huo Liancheng's expression became a little serious.
"Yun Zheng, your third uncle is seriously ill. The news came back this morning. See if you can bring him back."
It was a tone of command, not negotiation.
Even if the third room did something wrong, in Huo Liancheng's view, he was his own son after all.
No one is perfect. Just make amends and let go of the past.
Now that he is seriously ill and is about to die, do we really want him to die abroad without even being able to see us for the last time?
Huo Yunzheng sat down, glanced at the old man, and then looked at Huo Jiachuan.
"It's impossible to bring people back."
Huo Yunzheng's words completely destroyed the old man's hope.
Yeah!
Is the grandson he raised really so heartless?
He was taught that one should not be trapped by love. If one wants to be a successful leader, he must learn to cut off the roots of love and not be controlled by anyone.
But he actually betrayed filial piety and disregarded everything for a woman.
He treats his relatives so cruelly, isn't it because of that girl from the Jing family who instigated it?
It is sad to lose a child, and Huo Liancheng is not without heartache. After all, he is his great-grandson. However, it has been so long since the incident, and the living people should be the priority.
"Grandpa, you don't have to make things difficult for my second brother. Since father is seriously ill, I will go and take care of him." Huo Jiachuan spoke at the right time.
It was a joint decision between him and his second brother to send their father away.
My father's desires were too great. It was because of him that the Huo family got into such a big mess. Because of him, Jiayuan, and my second brother's children lost their lives for nothing.
Huo Jiachuan always felt guilty.
"Jiachuan, you don't have to go." Huo Liancheng was angry. He glared at Huo Yunzheng, as if he had to ask him to bring the person back.
Huo Yunzheng stood up slowly, his face calm.
"If you had known this was the case, you could have just told us over the phone. Why did you have to call us all back?"
Old Master Huo was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
What are you talking about? You can't control him anymore, right?
Seeing this, Shi Shi immediately brought a cup of tea and said, "Dad, calm down."
Her eyes kept glancing at Huo Yunzheng.
To be honest, she didn't want Huo Qi to come back even more than Huo Yunzheng did.
She had always felt uneasy about what Huo Yunzheng had said in front of her and Huo Shan, fearing that Huo Yunzheng would notice something.
Once Huo Qi comes back, if she accidentally leaks her past relationship with Huo Qi, all her hard work over the years will be wasted.
"Dad, the mountains are high and the roads are long. Even if we have a private plane, it will be a hassle. The medical conditions abroad are not necessarily worse than those in China. Why don't we get treatment first and see how the situation develops?" Shi Shi suggested.
But Huo Liancheng couldn't listen.
He is old, and only has a few years left, so he wants to see the Huo family live in harmony and happiness.
However, things went against their wishes. Although the Huo family seems to be prosperous in the eyes of outsiders, in reality they have already fallen apart.
孽 孽!
"Yun Zheng, he is your third uncle after all." Huo Liancheng was not giving up and still wanted Huo Qi to come back.
Huo Yunzheng sneered.
"Uncle San is really capable. My people are watching Uncle San. How come the news of his serious illness was not known to Jiachuan and me first, but to you first?"
"Uncle San is afraid that Jiachuan and I won't arrange for him to be treated, so he is coming to you to complain? Or does he have other plans?"
