Mr. Huo had a look of satisfaction on his face after hearing this, and he nodded in approval.

"Your health is important." Mr. Huo said, "But the company's affairs..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jingcheng put his fist to his mouth and coughed repeatedly, causing the hideous scars on his face to gradually turn red.

Mr. Huo could only stop talking, his eyes full of worry, "Didn't you agree? Why are you still coughing so badly?"

"It's getting better but not completely. The doctor advised me to get more rest and not be too busy with work."

Mr. Huo looked at him doubtfully, "This..."

"Cough cough cough." Huo Jingcheng coughed violently again.

Mr. Huo could only sigh and agree, "Okay, then you should have a good rest first, and we can talk about work after you feel better."

The expressions of everyone else at the table improved, but the next second, Mr. Huo's words still succeeded in lifting everyone's hearts.

"But there is one thing I still want to explain to you in advance."

"You can rest, but I will only give you two months. No matter what happens in two months, you have to go back to the Huo family."

Huo Jingcheng knew that this was Mr. Huo's last concession, and he also knew that he couldn't push too far, so he nodded in agreement, "Yes."

After receiving the agreement, Mr. Huo's expression improved slightly.

"Okay, let's eat."

Only then did the other servants of the Huo family put their plates on the table.

No one dared to touch the table full of delicacies until Mr. Huo used his chopsticks.

"I know that you all have your own ideas now that you are older, and I, as an old man, can't control you."

Mr. Huo tightened his grip on the scepter, looked around at the people sitting in the lower circle, and said slowly, "But I think you should know one thing. You cannot write two characters "Huo" in one sentence. The Huo family is prosperous, and everyone is prosperous. Everyone loses."

"Okay, let's have dinner." Mr. Huo handed the crutch in his hand to the old butler beside him, and took the initiative to use the chopsticks.

Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks to eat.

Most of the time when the Huo family eats, they adhere to the rule of not saying anything before eating, and no one speaks before anyone.

Mr. Huo was full without eating more than two mouthfuls. He went upstairs on crutches.

Wait for his figure to disappear at the top of the stairs.

Huo Zhiqi put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and said twice, "My nephew, you are really lucky. You had your second brother to pave the way for you. Now that your second brother is gone, the old man is still thinking about you."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that the old man still wants to hand over the Huo Group to your hands."

Huo Zhiqi glanced at Huo Xiuxiu who didn't stop using his chopsticks, and sneered mockingly, "Some people work and plan for a long time, but they get nothing."

Huo Xiuxiu's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.

Her husband, Lu Siyuan, put his hand on the back of the other person's hand and patted her twice to comfort her, and then said, "What did the third brother say? The Huo Group belongs to the Huo family, not anyone else."

"Xiuxiu was just worried that Jingcheng was not feeling well and had to work for the group, so she took over the previous burden."

"Now that he is in good health and willing to take over the tasks of the Huo Group, we are naturally very happy."

There was a slight smile in Lu Siyuan's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and he seemed to be docile, polite and easy to get along with.

But according to Zhu Jin's knowledge of the Huo family, this uncle is not as easy to get along with as he seems.

"Of course. All of this is still based on Jingcheng's body." Lu Siyuan said with a smile.

For some reason, Zhu Jin could taste something scary in that smile.

"Thank you for your concern. I will definitely do it."

Huo Jingcheng's answer was neither salty nor cold.

"Jingcheng, are you okay?" Another concerned word came from Huo Zhigao's mouth.

There was a worried look on that honest and honest face, "If you're not feeling well, take good care of yourself first and then talk about other things."

"Don't worry about the company. By the way, do you want me to introduce you to the doctor? If you need someone to take care of you, tell your uncle and I will help you find someone."

When facing Huo Zhigao, the expression on Huo Jingcheng's face softened a bit.

"I know, don't worry."

"Well, if your father was still here, he would be relieved to see you like this."

After Huo Zhigao finished speaking, he felt that he had said the wrong thing. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's eat first. I won't say anything anymore."

The dinner table fell into silence again.

After everyone finished eating, they all left.

Zhu Jin pushed Huo Jingcheng upstairs to his room.

She knelt down and looked carefully at the scars on Huo Jingcheng's face.

The normally ferocious red scars have indeed become lighter these days, and the scars in some places have even disappeared.

The appearance of the man's face was much better than before.

The thin lips opened and closed, "Have you seen enough?"

Only then did Zhu Jin come back to her senses. She coughed slightly and took two steps back, her ears instantly turning red.

"I……"

Before Zhu Jin could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door and a slightly embarrassed voice.

"Well, Second Master, I asked you to go to the study. He said that he wanted to talk to you about something, about cooperation with the Shen family."

The joking look in Huo Jingcheng's eyes instantly faded, and his expression became calm.

"Oh, I see."

"I'll be there later."

"Okay." After the housekeeper said that, he hurriedly left, almost as if he was running away.

Zhu Jin's face was even redder now.

Could it be that the other party is thinking wrongly?

I just wanted to see the scars on Huo Jingcheng's face, but I didn't want to do anything!

"I'll go find Grandpa first. If you're too tired, go to bed first." Huo Jingcheng drove the wheelchair to Zhu Jin and paused, then reached out and patted the other person on the head.

Only when Huo Jingcheng walked away did Zhu Jin come back to his senses.

She subconsciously chased after him, but heard a familiar female voice not far away.

"Jingcheng, you...why didn't you tell me that you were almost healed?"

"Are you unwilling to tell me anything now?"

"No matter what you need, I can help you, as long as you need my help. You know, I will always be on your side."

It was almost a humble begging tone.

The speaker threw his dignity to the ground and let others trample on him.

Zhu Jin immediately recognized the identity of the speaker - Ji Siyan.

Why is she here?

What happened between her and Huo Jingcheng.

Zhu Jin suddenly didn't know whether he should go out.

It was clear that she was Huo Jingcheng's wife, but she felt uneasy, fearing that she would hear things she didn't want to hear when she went out.

"Go away."

Huo Jingcheng's answer was without any emotion, even with a biting chill.

Zhu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and she cautiously put her head in to take a look.

I saw Ji Siyan crying so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain.

That delicate and beautiful face was covered with tears at the moment, and she bit her lower lip lightly.

"Huo Jingcheng! Aren't you willing to accept me?"

"I can help you better than that loser!"
