Huo Shaoheng was silent as he glanced at Huo Jialan He couldn’t bear seeing Gu Nianzhi looking so confused and was about to call her over when she suddenly launched another verbal attack
In face of an unexpected change to the situation, Gu Nianzhi now understood why she had a lingering feeling of unease—it was Huo Jialan’s parents! Logically speaking, Huo Jialan’s father was the eldest son of the Huo fahter-in-law, so they should both be important members of the household However, Gu Nianzhi had already been here for two days and had yet to hear anyoneabout her parents Today was the first time she heard Huo Jialan talk about her father Gu Nianzhi clapped her hands and spoke soleoal of healing Mrs Song, so we can find out your father’s whereabouts as soon as possible Isn’t that right?” Her argument was irrefutable and even Grandfather Huo, who had been watching the debate froan to nod However, he iain, to himself Gu Nianzhi wasn’t one of the Huo’s and it was clear she knew nothing about the fa was someone who kept his private affairs out of his professional life—he had treated Gu Nianzhi like his h he had raised her for six years, he hadn’t mentioned a word about his fained that rather than Huo Shaoheng not , hehad originally intended on tellig Gu Nianzhi everything about the Huo fa, but his plan had been derailed ith everything happening so quickly However, this kind of situation was nothing to Huo Shaoheng He had faced situations thousands of times that had been more complex and dire than this, and the ability to adapt was one of the most important benchmark qualities examined in a member of the Special Operations Forces In order for Gu Nianzhi to be by his side, she had to beco remained resolute he folded his hands behind his back and observed
Although Huo Jialan was older than Gu Nianzhi, she obviously lacked her ability to debate, and wasn’t blessed with the saence Her jaw dropped as she listened to Gu Nianzhi twist the incident into a positive light, taking Song Jinning away right under her nose! How could this be?! Huo Jialan couldn’t accept this outco roo on the third-floor staircase, Uncle and Aunt Zhang’s fa at the second-floor staircase, as well as their children, Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie, looking on, their faces perturbed, at the heated exchange in the living room She looked at her Uncle, Huo Guanchen, and was shocked to see that he actually seemed convinced As for Aunt Bai, her eyes were diaze was the straw that broke the camel’s back—Huo Jialan tre her mother’s pale face as she had lain on the bed, Huo Jianlan’s face transformed rapidly She flushed, then blanched before she finally broke down Bawling, she pointed at Song Jinning beside Gu Nianzhi and screairl, “I won’t allow you to take her away! I won’t allow you to take that btch away! Did you know thatpills and coht does she have to pretend to be crazy when did all those shaht? I’ll have her stay crazy for the rest of her life! Let her be dmned by her amnesia for the rest of her life! She has to pay for what she did to my mother!”
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt like her heart was suspended in the air, swaying but stuck, unable to go up or down She even felt a moment of dizziness This was all very different than she had expected; could she be wrong? She cast Huo Shaoheng a helpless look, but he only looked blankly back at her
Huo Jialan collapsed in Bai Jinyi’s arms and treo! Father didn’t disappear! You were all lying to me and mother! He wasn’t even left with a whole corpse because he died protecting that btch!”
“Enough!” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t stand listening any since no one else would She was an outsider anyway and could be speak i and clear “Huo Jialan, please speak respectfully Swearing doesn’t ht now, it only ry she choked and coughed violently Bai Jinyi hastily patted her back and shook her head at Gu Nianzhi “Gu Nianzhi, I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue Do you know that Jianlan’s mother’s suicide caused her pain for the rest for her life? How can you pour salt on her wound?”
Gu Nianzhi inhaled deeply in an attempt to compose herself and said steadily, “I didn’t know that Huo Jialan’s mother co na?!” Huo Jialan looked up from Bai Jinyi’s arms and at Gu Nianzhi with a tear streaked face “Just you wait, I’ll show you so!” She shoved away Bai Jinyi and ran upstairs to her rooaped at her and didn’t even blink Huo Jianlan stor a stack of old yellowed envelopes The one on top appeared newer and well preserved
“Gu Nianzhi, are you ready? Do you want to see what this is really all about?” Huo Jianlan held the stack of envelopes and looked at Huo Shaoheng standing behind Gu Ninazhi, as still expressionless
Huo Jialan felt a little srew up to be heartless—someone like her Elder Cousin who had been in the ar trained to becos anyo public, but he remained calm…
Huo Jianlan almost pitied him If he didn’t even care about his own mother’s reputation, then why did she have to cover up for hiht vehemently
Gu Nianzhi stared at the envelopes in Huo Jialan’s hands and then looked up at Huo Shaoheng He was quiet and neither e her His face was stoic as he stood on the sidelines, as though it had nothing to do with hi had had a rift with his mother? She took the envelopes from Huo Jialan without another word and tilted her head, “Letthe most well-preserved envelope on the top, she opened it to find a pressed flower book our tear-filled eyes, regretting not ned in a beautiful srabbed the rest of the envelopes like they were a ball of flames
“What? Are you scared?” Huo Jialan smirked, she stretched out her arms and spun clumsily “Look, paper can’t hide fire What’s meant to be revealed will be revealed one day”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng again, but he averted his gaze—his expression re was still nor had impressive cultivation and colanced at a few of the re letters They were love letters written to “Huo Guanyuan” Huo Shaoheng’s father’s name was Huo Guanchen, then Huo Guanyuan must be…?
Huo Jialan saw Gu Nianzhi stare blankly at the na out, “I just wished that he could’ve burnt these unsightly letters before he died! Then my mother wouldn’t have found them afterward…”
