th to say: “Li Qin is back.”Fu Yan held onto her chopsticks, her hand stiffening. The faint flush on her face vanished, replaced by a pallor that spread inch by inch.She wasn't surprised, but hearing...On the day Huo Mingzheng was discharged from the hospital, he went back to Huo's ancestral home.

It was late in the evening now, with scenic lights illuminating the surroundings of the manor. Huo Mingzheng, dressed in a black long coat, strode towards it with long legs. During his hospitalization, his hair had been cut short, making his features appear even more sharp and cold.

Wrapped in wind and rain, he appeared cold and composed.

"Second Young Master," the butler said, holding a bowl of soup and looking in surprise at the man who had just walked in from outside, "You're out of the hospital"

Even though Huo Mingzheng was hospitalized for several days, he wasn't allowed any visitors from his family except for his parents. Not even the soup sent by the housekeeper could reach him.

To my surprise, he left the hospital without a word and returned to his old family home.

Ho Mingzheng gave a faint hum in response, glancing at the bowl in the butler's hand, "Give it to me."

The steward was taken aback for a moment, and then he respectfully handed the tray with the bowl to Cao Fang behind him.

Old Master Huo was poisoned by Qi Ce's scheme. When it was discovered, the poison had already invaded his five internal organs and six bowels. Although he was saved, he was paralyzed in bed and would probably be unable to leave for the rest of his life.

The moment he saw Huo Mingzheng, his eyes, weathered and slightly clouded, stirred. His voice was hoarse and dry: "A-Zheng..."

Ho Mingzheng sat on the round stool beside the bed, taking the bowl from Cao Fang's hand. He stirred it with a spoon a few times. Cao Fang walked over and pressed the button at the head of Lao Ye Huo's bed. The upper half of the bed slowly rose to a certain height and stopped.

Let Old Master Huo lean in a slouched posture.

Ho Mingzheng scooped a spoonful of soup with his spoon and brought it to his lips.

Old Master Huo didn't say a word.

The broth slid from the corner of his mouth, Huo Mingzheng reached out with his other hand to wipe it away with a handkerchief, "What Afraid I'll poison you"

Elder Huo's lips trembled slightly, but he said nothing.

He scooped another spoonful. This time, Old Master Huo slowly opened his mouth and drank the soup down.

If I really wanted your life, I wouldn't have let the doctor save you. You're my grandfather, even though you've done so many wrong things, I wouldn't take your life.

Ho Mingzheng ladled another spoonful of soup, "Besides, you're in this state now. What's the difference between this and being on death's doorstep It's said that it's better to be alive than to die, but you've lived your life with such pride. You must find this ending very unbearable, don't you"

Old Master Huo's cloudy eyes gradually turned red. "You like Fu Yan so much"

He would not hesitate to sink his own grandfather.

The spoon clinked against the bowl.

Ho Mingzheng's cold eyes flashed a line of light, "She has nothing to do with this, don't bring everything back to her. It was Qi Ce who poisoned you, and Li Qin is the one who truly wants your life."

Li Qin

Master Huo's eyes twitched. The news of Li Qin's suicide had caused quite a stir, and even lying in bed, he'd heard about it.

"Don't you remember how her parents died"

Huo Mingzheng's words caused his heart to sink suddenly, and a slight change came over his face. He pursed his lips and said, "It was her father's foolishness."

Huo Mingzheng put down his bowl and looked at the much thinner old man, "Back then, Li Qin's father asked you for help, which was just a trifle to you. But you stood idly by, leading to the Lu Youguang swallowing up the Li family completely. Li Qin's parents both died, leaving her only able to live in Lu Youguang's house. Do you know what Lu Youguang has done to her all these years"

Old Master Huo clenched his fists.

Lu Youguang is a typical businessman who only talks about profit and not about feelings. Those years, there were some business dealings between the Huo family and the Lu family, and the Lu family's residence was not far from Huo Gongguan. Lu Youguang had intentions to curry favor with him and often visited.

He didn't know much about that person, but he knew they had some embarrassing private habits.

For example, a young girl.

He suddenly widened his eyes, his already pale face turning whiter by the inch. He hadn't even considered that direction at all. Besides, Lu Youguang doted on Li Qin and often took her on trips around the world during her holidays.ize that the brooch Huo Yuan had slipped into her hand earlier was missing.She clearly remembered being pulled down by Huo Mingzheng, and she was still holding it in her hand. It was also there when s...
