Chapter 269: For his Wife and Daughter, He Made All the Plan
at apartment held her most beautiful memories, until she realized it was coated in poisoned sugar. She blurted out, “I don’t want it! Just throw it away.”Gu Changqing was not surprised that she refuse...Three days later.
Lu Qian came from city C. The car stopped, and the driver opened the door for him.
Lu Qian's heart ached.
He used to be very skeptical of Huo Shaoting, but after several years, he could see that Shaoting truly loved Wen Man... Now that he is unwell, but when he is awake, he tries his best to arrange for his wife and daughter.
Lu Qian felt sorry for them.
My heart aches for this one, and my heart aches for that one too!
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Huo Shaoting sitting on the sofa, seemingly reading an old newspaper.
Lu Qian walked over and asked softly, "Where's Wen Man"
Ho Shao-ting looked up, seeming a little surprised. Then he got up: "She's gone to the West to handle some matters!"
Lu Qian knew that Huo Shaoting had given X West to Wen Man.
He didn't know what to say.
Finally, he spoke softly: "That's good! I have something I wanted to tell you privately."
He arrived so suddenly, Huo Shaoting guessed he had something important to say, so he smiled faintly: "Go to the study on the second floor and talk!"
Reached the second-floor study.
After Lu Qian sat down, he kept smoking and occasionally raised his eyes: "How are you feeling"
Ho Shaoting is making tea.
Upon hearing this, his finger paused, his voice softening: “The situation isn’t good!”
After finishing his words, he handed a teacup to Lu Qian and sat down opposite him.
Lu Qian was quite irritable and stubbed out his cigarette.
He looked at Huo Shaoting and hesitated before speaking, "I got some information! Qiao An might have been able to get that medicine because of her ex-husband! According to the surveillance footage, that producer's ex-husband had contact with her in the hospital... They took him in for questioning, but he was very cunning and there was no concrete evidence. Due to his special status, they had to let him go."
Ho Shao-ting sipped his tea slowly.
Lu Qian said again: "I heard that after the divorce lawsuit, he couldn't get along in England and is now a producer in China. He has every motive! But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
Ho Shao-ting nodded.
Two people were sitting and drinking tea……
After a long silence, Huo Shaoting placed a medical record on the coffee table.
Lu Qian picked it up and looked at it, the more he looked, the more surprised he was!
He stared at Huo Shaoting in astonishment. Huo Shaoting smiled faintly and helplessly: "Uncle, the fewer times I think of Wen Man every day, even looking at Huo Xi can make me forget…"
Lu Qian lit another cigarette.
Ho Shao-ting suddenly stood up, he gently knelt before Lu Qian.
Lu Qian's finger hovered over the glowing end of his cigarette, almost burning himself. He immediately reached out to help Huo Shaoting: "Shao Ting, what are you doing! A man shouldn't kneel before a woman, this is making me feel embarrassed!"
He Shao-ting refused to get up.
His voice was low and hoarse: "My father is getting old, he's bound to live for a hundred years! Wen Man may be capable, but she is after all a delicate woman, plus two children. Uncle, I beg you to often look after them in the future, not just Wen Man and her child, but also Ming Zhu... As for matters of making decisions at home, I ask my uncle to help them."
Lu Qian hated to hear these words!
He frowned: "Shaoting, I'm telling you, you can't just dump the whole family on me! Oh... don't you remember What about Xiaoyao What about Wen Man and the children"
Ho Shao-ting's eyes were deep.
He smiled faintly, a smile that was both helpless and bitter: "Uncle, I always told Wen Man not to give up on me, to remember to find me! But Uncle, who can say for sure what the future holds I... I just want her to live with hope. If people lose hope, how bleak life would be!"
Besides, Wen Man suffered from postpartum depression.
Now, she is pregnant again.
Ho Shao-ting could only, when he remembered, spare no effort to provide for his wife and children.
Lu Qian felt even sadder after hearing that.
He silently finished the cigarette in his hand and patted Huo Shaoting's shoulder: "Shaoting, I promise you!"
His voice was slightly choked with emotion: “Don’t stay away for too long, come back soon! Wen Man and the children are waiting for you, we…are all waiting for you!”
He Shao-ting smiled dreamily.
Lu Qian sat for a moment, then walked out. He didn't expect to run into Huo Mingzhu on the stairs.
Huomingzhu held a plate of food.
Looking good!
Lu Qian stopped in his tracks, stared at her, then pulled a cigarette out of his pocket: "You've learned to cook"
Huo Mingzhu nodded: "It just doesn't taste very good!"
Lu Qian smiled faintly.
His eyes were glistening with tears. Huo Mingzhu saw this and felt a pang of sympathy for him. Forgetting their past grievances for the moment, she said sincerely: "Thank you for coming to see your brother."
Lu Qian's smile faded further...
He looked at the girl he once loved, filled with countless emotions.
Originally, he thought he was suffering enough, but compared to Huo Shaoting, it seemed... much better!
Lu Qian has official business to attend to, he must leave now.
He held the cigarette between his lips and gently touched her hair, "I'm leaving! Call me if anything happens!"
< Huo Mingzhu hummed in response. >
Lu Qian looked at her for a while longer, but still retracted his hand and slowly went downstairs.
He went downstairs and, for no reason at all, suddenly turned back to her and asked, "How's that man doing"
Huo Mingzhu fell silent for a moment.
She bitterly said, "It's not working out, we're over!" Then she went upstairs.
Lu Qian watched her back disappear.
She wasn't successful in her dating endeavors, and he should have been happy about it. However, he couldn't bring himself to feel joy because he knew that if not for his presence, her existence as a single woman, she would have easily found a suitable partner to marry.
It was him after all, who wasted her time!
……
When Wen Man returned, it was already night.
She found Huo Shaoting in the study.
He was flipping through his diary when Wen Man came in. He still tucked it away in the drawer as he always had.
Wen Man did not point it out.
She walked up to him and gently hugged him. "Did Uncle come today"
Ho Shao-ting hummed in response.
He wanted to tell Wen Man what Lu Qian had told him, but when he tried to speak, his mind suddenly went blank...
Wen Man looked at his lost expression and her heart sank.
She knew his memory was muddled, in the midst of a brawl...
She couldn't bear to think of him.
She grasped his palm and placed it over her abdomen, murmuring, "Mingzhu will be with Hoxi tonight! Shaoting, shall we take a walk in the courtyard"
He has locked himself inside the house for many days!
She knew he wouldn't go out for fear of forgetting to come home.
Wen Man is very conflicted and painful! She bound his freedom, if it wasn't for her, Huo Shaoting wouldn't have to work so hard...
In the courtyard, she held his fingers tightly, savoring the last vestiges of warmth.
Under the moonlight, she gazed up at her husband.
He is still handsome.
Sometimes, his eyes were strange.
He started making himself hard to find, but later Wen Man found a note in his pocket with some words reminding him of something.
Enter the basement until you remember Wen Man!
Seeing the note, Wen Man cried for a long time.
She thought, she shouldn't let him stay by her side anymore! He was in her arms, losing happiness...
Forgot Wen Man's Huo Shaoting, yet he's still Huo Shaoting!
At night, Wen Man fell asleep with tears.
Early in the morning, she woke up, a white rose lying beside her pillow, still fresh with dew as always. A sweetness stirred within her, and she softly called out to him, "Shaoting..."
The bedroom was silent.
Wen Man had a bad feeling in her heart. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she ran downstairs.
"Shaoting... Shaoting..."
"Ho Shao-ting!"
