After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular
Chapter 70
Xia Wan was dreaming all night, and his dreams were full of his worries.
In the dream, Xia Chengzhang couldn't accept him returning to Xue's house, and looked at him beggingly again and again, the misery in his eyes made him dare not look directly.
Fortunately, whenever he started to fall into the depths of the dream, there would always be a strong arm to pull him out in time and wrap him tightly.
The embrace is warm and wide, and leaning on it can give people a great sense of security.
So although Xia Wan felt uneasy, she still slept through the night until dawn.
When I woke up, the room was still a little dark, and the thick blackout curtains blocked the daylight, making it impossible to accurately judge the time.
Xia Wan was trapped in Huo Yu's warm embrace, her lips pressed against his firm chest, and the arm that had pulled him out countless times in the dream was tightly around his waist, the two of them The body shell is extremely tight.
The smell in the nose is very good, refreshing and clean, and very mild, which makes people feel at ease.
Xia Wan unconsciously licked her lips, but forgot that her lips were tightly attached to Huo Yu's skin. The next moment, the tip of her tongue swept across Huo Yu's chest.
The fabric of Huo Yu's silk pajamas immediately had an irregular dark water mark.
Xia Wan was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and secretly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The arms around his waist tightened, and Huo Yu's lazy voice rang above his head unexpectedly.
Xia Wan smiled and raised her eyes, facing Huo Yu's half-closed eyes, which were still awake.
"I'm happy to wake up in your arms." Xia Wan said.
Huo Yu smiled lightly, and shook his hand to play: "Didn't you do something bad?"
"Is it okay?" Xia Wan asked, raised her upper body, and lay down on Huo Yu's body, "Master?"
Huo Yu's muscles are very strong, and the temperature of his skin is slightly higher. The moment Xia Wan lay on his stomach, he could feel the tension and relaxation of his muscles, and then he raised his hand to hold his lower back.
"Not now." Huo Yu said, his voice was slightly hoarse, with a very light nasal tone.
"Then when?" Xia Wan pressed her face against his chest, feeling the temperature of his body and the strong sense of security brought by the wide embrace in front of her.
It would be great if I could hug and sleep with Huo Yu like this every day.
"Is it okay at night?" Xia Wan asked, "I want to do something exciting to relax.
Huo Yu raised his hand and gently smoothed the end of his hair, then rubbed the back of his neck: "We'll talk about it tonight."
"Hmph!" Xia Wan said, and said angrily again, "I've already grown up."
"En." Huo Yu responded lightly, and after a while, his voice became even deeper, "Yes."
"Ah?" Xia Wan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Huo Yu's shoulder and climbed up. After understanding Huo Yu's meaning, she felt a little bit late and shy.
He bit his lip, and Huo Yu raised his face with his side cheeks, looking carefully into his eyes.
Xia Wan's eyelids are very thin, and her eyelashes are thick. The traces of crying last night have disappeared, and the roots of the eyelashes draw a nice line on the eyes. When she smiles, she will be very soft, completely different from Huo Yu.
"Yeah." After looking at it for a while, Huo Yu seemed very satisfied, "There are no dark circles under my eyes, so I should be able to sleep well."
"Did the young master sleep well?" Xia Wan asked, "I think it's better to sleep alone or two."
"It's better to be two when we sleep with you," Huo Yu said.
Xia Wan smiled and lowered her head to kiss him, temporarily forgetting those worries and troubles in her heart.
"I was thinking," Huo Yu said between kisses while pressing the back of Xia Wan's head, "Others only need to see their parents-in-law once, but I have to see them twice."
"Scared?" Xia Wan traced his thick eyebrows with her fingertips.
"Yes." Huo Yu said.
Xia Wan didn't quite believe it: "Is there anyone else that the young master is afraid of?"
"I wasn't afraid at first," Huo Yu said, "It's your parents who are a little scared."
Xia Wan's fingertips reached the corners of his lips, following the graceful lip line to the peak of his lips, Huo Yu opened his mouth and bit his fingertips.
The itchy and hot touch wrapped around her fingertips, Xia Wan couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Huo Yu didn't speak, his eyes stopped on his hand.
"They will like you, like my father." Xia Wan felt her body getting hot and said softly.
"What if you don't like it?" Huo Yu said, his voice was a little vague.
"No." Xia Wan resolutely said, "Who doesn't like the young master?"
Huo Yu tilted his head when he heard the words, and then his chest trembled slightly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Wan was dissatisfied with his attitude, her fingertips regained her freedom, and she began to walk around, but Huo Yu soon grabbed her wrist.
"Huo Yu." Xia Wan approached him, pressed her forehead against Huo Yu's, and gently rubbed the tip of her nose together, "It's enough for me to like you, other people's words are just opinions, only mine is a decision, Once you make a decision, it will never change.”
Huo Yu didn't speak, but the eyes that were close at hand were astonishingly bright.
"Before you let me only look at you," Xia Wan said, "now it's your turn to only look at me."
He repeated: "Just look at me, Huo Yu."
There was a slight opening and closing of the door outside, as well as two very soft conversations.
Huo Yu raised his chin and kissed Xia Wan's lips seriously.
"Yeah," he said, "just looking at you."
Xia Wan's eyes blinked, then filled with a smile, she nodded emphatically.
The living room became quiet again, with only occasional slight noises.
Xia Wan listened attentively: "It seems like my dad has woken up."
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and the expression on his face became more serious.
Huo Yu tightened the arms around him, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Xia Wan replied, still a little anxious, "Do you think my dad won't be able to accept it?"
"No." Huo Yu said, raising his fingers to rub the center of his slightly frowning brows, "Don't worry, do it."
He smiled again: "You are doing well."
Hearing this, the tightness in Xia Wan's eyes slowly melted away, Huo Yu pulled him up, the two changed into their clothes, washed up briefly and went out together.
There was the sound of splashing water in the kitchen, and Aunt Zhang was busy.
Xia Chengzhang, wearing glasses and holding his mobile phone, sat by the window and watched the news as usual.
It's just that although his movements are the same as usual, his eyes are a little empty.
Hearing the movement, Xia Chengzhang turned his head. His hand holding the phone trembled imperceptibly, and then slowly dropped it.
Because he was too afraid of seeing "disappointment" in Xia Wan's eyes, he didn't dare to raise his head during the whole process.
He is like a camel with a heavy load, afraid of the last straw that is about to fall.
But Xia Wan was still as close to him as usual.
"Dad." He came over and sat down beside him, "Did you sleep well at night?"
Xia Chengzhang lowered his head and nodded mechanically.
These years, the ups and downs of life have made him look much older than his peers, but after this night, he looks even older than usual by several years.
Xia Wan looked at him quietly, and a sense of sadness gradually emerged in her heart.
"Dad." He pursed his lips, and then held Xia Chengzhang's rough, callused palm, "You should know that I love you very much."
"Yeah." Xia Chengzhang nodded, his eyes quickly turned red.
Xia Wan looked at him sideways, trying to make him smile, but her lips moved and she didn't say anything.
"Drink some water." Huo Yu poured two cups of hot water and brought them over, placing them in front of the two of them respectively, looking at Xia Wan, and nodded lightly to him.
"Xiao Yu." Xia Chengzhang slowly raised his head, pointed to the single sofa next to him, "You sit too."
Huo Yu pursed his lips and nodded, then sat down beside him.
"Xiao Yu told you everything." Xia Chengzhang asked, his raised eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at those weather-beaten eyes, Xia Wan felt even more sad.
Xia Chengzhang never had such a serious illness. If there was one, it was only once, and that was the night when he agreed to Xia's family's funding for him to have better educational conditions.
Must have been up all night, right?
Xia Wan gave a soft "um" and nodded.
"I'm sorry." Xia Chengzhang lowered his head again.
Since yesterday, it seems that he can no longer hold his head up in front of anyone.
After seeing Wen Yunzhi's pain, the anxiety and guilt in his heart made him suffocate.
It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but he never dared to let himself think deeply.
And every time he saw a family-hunting program, he would immediately turn it off in panic.
All this is because I very selfishly want to keep Xia Wan by my side forever.
He closed his eyes: "Last night, I felt like I was back in the waiting room 18 years ago. The scene at that time was still very clear, because I had thought about it countless times, but this time, you were thrown to the ground When I was crying, I chose to hold you in my arms and hand you over when the station staff came to ask..."
Hearing this, Xia Wan quietly squeezed Xia Chengzhang's hand tightly.
Xia Chengzhang's words became choked up: "Then you will return to your biological parents to grow up, your parents will not suffer for so many years, and you will be raised with gold and jade. Young master, not everyone can bully, without a strong backing, only a child with a burdensome and disabled father, your..."
He couldn't make a sentence: "Your fate will be completely different."
"Dad." Xia Wan's throat also choked up, and she called out softly.
"You should hate me, you shouldn't call me dad, the Xue family is your family." Xia Chengzhang seemed to be obsessed with his fantasy, and murmured, "If I hadn't been so selfish, I would have handed you over at that time." Enough."
"What about you?" Xia Wan asked softly, "After handing me over, what will you do?"
"Me?" Xia Chengzhang was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.
He would naturally end his life silently after returning to his hometown, as originally planned.
"Dad, no one can go back to the past, you are, and so am I," Xia Wan pursed her lips, her eyelashes wet with tears, "You can't go back to the past and let me go, and I can't go back to the past and let go open you."
Xia Chengzhang raised his eyes to look at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant for a moment.
"I can't go back to the time when I didn't have feelings for you," Xia Wan called him, "Dad."
Xia Chengzhang clenched his teeth, and the voice in his throat was extremely sad.
Huo Yu passed the water in silence, Xia Chengzhang took it, but just held it in his hand and didn't drink it.
"Dad." Xia Wan bit her lip, "Have you ever thought that if you didn't find anything unusual at the station back then, then maybe I would have been sold by those two people, beaten and disabled and thrown outside to beg for food? Possibly lost life after no use value..."
Xia Chengzhang's eyes widened when he heard the words, and then he shook his head: "That won't work."
"Dad," Xia Wan said softly, "Fate sent me to the station, maybe it was to save you, and you insisted on going back to your hometown, maybe it was to save me."
"If you are still guilty, you will take your illness as a punishment." Xia Wan looked at him, "You were punished for your mistakes, and all that has passed?"
"Can this be counted?" Xia Chengzhang asked in confusion.
"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, took the tissue from the table, and moved over to wipe Xia Chengzhang's tears.
Xia Chengzhang's skin is rough, with many sunburns on his face, and every line of his face bears the pain left by the years.
"Dad, I won't leave you behind," Xia Wan said, and after a moment's pause, he clasped the tissue tightly in his palm, "but I also want to recognize my biological parents."
Xia Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, his eyes were still red: "Dad has no intention of objecting."
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "If your parents want to hold me accountable, no matter what, I'm willing to take it."
"They won't hold you accountable." Xia Wan shook his hand, comforting in a low voice.
Xia Chengzhang couldn't believe it, until Xia Wan solemnly nodded to him, his tears flowed down without any scruples.
The phone call with Wen Yunzhi ended last night, and Xue Chong took it.
He is much calmer and more rational than Wen Yunzhi, but his voice still has uncontrollable ups and downs.
"Ah Ke," he said, "Although the family really wants to be reunited as soon as possible, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and deal with the matter with your adoptive father."
"Thank you Dad." Xia Wan said.
Xue Chongben thought he would intercede for Xia Chengzhang, but Xia Wan did not speak.
His mood was complicated, but his resentment towards Xia Chengzhang subsided somewhat.
After all, the child was brought up very well by him.
Cheerful, optimistic, and motivated, neither humble nor overbearing, he can take on things at a young age, even if he is raised in Xue's family, it is nothing more than that.
"Tell him," Xue Chong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sighed softly, "The Xue family will not hold him accountable anymore, let him recover from his illness with peace of mind."
"Well," Xia Wan bit her lip and said, "Thank you."
"Silly boy," Xue Chong said, "The Xue family's not pursuing him is not because the Xue family is soft-hearted, nor is it because the Xue family is easy to bully, nor is it because they pity him, but because the family loves you."
Xia Wan bit her lip, but said nothing.
"Dad and Mom have lost you for too long, and I don't want to see you worrying about anyone or anything, so we let him go." Xue Chong said, "You just think you have an extra family. , but also remember that everyone in the family loves you."
Xia Wan held the phone in a daze for a long time, her whole body was wrapped in that kind of delicate and generous love and tenderness.
He is very familiar with this feeling, and it is exactly the same as what his family gave him when he didn't wear it before.
Xia Chengzhang's tears flowed fiercely, his lips trembled, and he didn't speak for a while.
The more the Xue family was like this, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Because of the kindness and tolerance of the other party, it is more difficult for him to accept his selfishness.
Xia Wan didn't say anything, just held his hand tightly and stayed with him without saying a word.
After a long time, Xia Chengzhang's mood slowly calmed down. He seemed to have remembered something, and shook Xia Wan's hand in a hurry.
"They must really want to see you soon," he said, "You today... you go to Xue's house today."
Then he said to Huo Yu: "Xiao Yu, you go with him."
"Yeah." Huo Yu nodded, "I'll go over after having breakfast with you."
It happened that Aunt Zhang had just prepared breakfast, Huo Yu got up and went over to help bring over the tableware.
"I know, Xiaoyu stayed here yesterday, just worried about me," Xia Chengzhang looked at Huo Yu's figure, and said to Xia Wan: "Don't worry, Dad will never do stupid things, your parents can help you If you don't hold me accountable, how can I not live a good life for you?"
"Daddy loves you too," he said.
Xia Wan nodded heavily, hot tears rolled down his cheeks, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Xia Chengzhang's heart is more transparent than anyone else's, and all the situations he was worried about did not exist.
They were all trying to make concessions because they loved him, and they didn't let him survive even a minute in the cracks.
After breakfast, Huo Yu went out with Xia Wan.
Before going out, Aunt Zhang deliberately called Xia Wan aside.
"Wan Wan," Aunt Zhang asked earnestly, "Did you quarrel with the old man?"
"No." Xia Wan smiled.
"There's something wrong with that." Aunt Zhang looked out with her eyebrows fixed, and persuaded again, "The old man's health is not good, you are a sensible and good boy, let him order everything, huh?"
"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, "Please spend more time today and take care of my dad for me."
"That's up to you, isn't this my job," said Aunt Zhang, "wrap it properly on me."
Xia Wan smiled for a while, and before going out, she couldn't help giving Aunt Zhang a big hug: "Thank you."
"Oh, my old bones." Aunt Zhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Go and do your work quickly, don't worry about your father wrapping Aunt on your body."
The weather outside was fine, and the sun shone through the thin clouds and cast people's shadows on the ground.
Xia Wan was held by Huo Yu, and just after turning the corner, she turned around suddenly and wrapped her arms around Huo Yu's waist tightly.
Huo Yu didn't speak, just hugged him tightly and gently kneaded the back of his neck.
On the way to Xue's house, Xia Wan's mood calmed down a lot, but it turned into another kind of tension.
He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and started to check the information, diverting his attention by the way.
After replying to a few work messages, he habitually opened the webpage and started browsing the news.
After Huo Yu returned to the Huo family, discussions about the Huo family continued on the Internet.
In different forums and posts, the Huo family has published many production contention scripts, but Huo Yu has never responded positively.
But today, this one is even more outrageous than the self-made scripts of those netizens in the past.
The person who posted the post claimed to be an insider about the Huo family, and the words in the post were also very well-founded.
The post mentioned that 20 years ago, Huo Peifeng and Yan Rui passed away in an accident, and Huo Yu, who was only five years old, was brought home by Huo Peixue to raise him.
During this period, Huo Peixue and his wife treated Huo Yu as their own, even more than their own son Huo Lin. Whether it was food and clothing or toys education, Huo Yu was the first in everything.
After Huo Peixue took over the Huo Corporation, he devoted most of his energy to his career, which was only to lay a solid foundation for Huo Yu to take over the Huo Corporation when he became an adult.
The post listed the aristocratic school that Huo Yu attended when he was young, the original comics that Huo Peixuefei bought abroad, several famous teachers that the Huo family hired for him, and also mentioned that he suddenly wanted to study abroad in his freshman year of high school. So he chose the best foreign art school for him...
Everything is trivial and detailed, even including the limited-edition luxury car that Huo Peixue gave Huo Yu after returning to China this spring. According to "informed sources", that car was actually Huo Lin's favorite car.
In addition to listing all the "good things" the Huo family has done to Huo Yu, the "insiders" naturally also condemned Huo Yu.
In his writing, Huo Yu can be described as an out-and-out white-eyed wolf.
Not only did Uncle Huo Peixue get so angry that he had a heart attack, but he even drove Huo Peixue and his family out of the Huo family mercilessly.
As for the Huo family, no matter what, Huo Peixue and his son have worked hard without credit. Why should Huo Yu enjoy the fruits of his 20 years of labor in vain?
Not only that, after returning to the Huo family, Huo Yu also made a special trip to the hospital to visit Mr. Huo Chuan.
According to an insider's post, Huo Chuan suffered a stroke a few years ago and has been recuperating in the hospital. His health has recovered, but he doesn't know what Huo Yu said to the old man this time. The old man is about to die.
The most embarrassing thing is that just two days ago, Huo Yu formally issued an ultimatum to the Huo family, demanding that the Huo family move out of the Huo residence.
The poster's final conclusion is even more instructive.
In his mouth, Huo Yu is not only ungrateful, but also bites back at his relatives who have worked so hard for him. He even wants to take the old house where the other party has lived for 20 years. It can be said that he is not greedy enough.
Netizens are easily incited, and no one knows how big the Huo family's old house is, how much it is worth, how it was obtained, and what it means to Huo Yu.
Not to mention the fact that apart from the old house, Huo Peixue and his family members, who have held the Huo family for 20 years, how much property and how many houses do they own?
Under the scope of their own cognition and the deliberate guidance of others, a war without gunpowder quickly broke out.
Xia Wan slowly swiped down the screen, frowning extremely tightly.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yu sensed that he was wrong, "Still worried about Dad?"
"No." Xia Wan licked her lips and asked, "Master, have you taken back the old house from the Huo family?"
"Well, after the land is taken back, I want to donate it." Huo Yu responded in a low voice, and then said, "Don't look at those messy things on the Internet."
"I'm angry." Xia Wan said, "They don't know anything, so why attack you like that on the Internet?"
"Not angry." Huo Yu said, looking sideways at him.
Xia Wan pursed her lips: "Recently, the popularity of your family's news has almost dropped, but now suddenly an insider came out to break the news, and he said a lot about your childhood, and it's hard to even refute it. I always feel that they are testing the waters now, and they may attack you further on a moral level in the future."
"So sharp?" Huo Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard his analysis.
"I'm serious." Xia Wan was a little anxious.
After all, Huo Yu has been abroad for many years, and he may not remember everything when he was a child. Even if he remembered clearly, he might not have the consciousness to leave evidence at that young age. Isn't it what the Huo family said?
Moreover, this so-called moral attack often does not require much evidence, as long as you find a good ghostwriter and grasp some plausible points, you can attack wantonly.
The more Xia Wan talked, the more she felt that the possibility was extremely high, and she asked, "Tell me, could this so-called "insider" be Huo Lin or your uncle?"
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Huo Yu couldn't help but smiled lightly.
"Still laughing!" Xia Wan couldn't help but glared at him.
"Don't be afraid." Huo Yu smiled obediently, "I don't care what others think."
Even when his future was uncertain in the past, he didn't care about the opinions of the outside world, not to mention that now that he is in a high position and holds power, he doesn't pay attention to these dying struggles of the Huo family.
Don't even bother wasting a minute or a second on them.
But if Xia Wan cared, he should let this end as soon as possible.
"I'm not afraid." Xia Wan reached out and shook Huo Yu's wrist lightly, "I just don't want those people to hurt you so recklessly."
Huo Yu was quiet for a moment, then shook Xia Wan's hand in the palm of his hand.
No one can hurt him anymore.
Except for summer nights.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't help but glance sideways at Xia Wan.
Xia Wan's expression was serious, the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, filled with righteous indignation...
But he didn't know that he was holding something extraordinary in his hand.
He also didn't know how cute he was in Huo Yu's eyes, how much he moved his heart.

Huo Yu raised his chin and kissed Xia Wan's lips seriously.
"Yeah," he said, "just looking at you."
Xia Wan's eyes blinked, then filled with a smile, she nodded emphatically.
The living room became quiet again, with only occasional slight noises.
Xia Wan listened attentively: "It seems like my dad has woken up."
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and the expression on his face became more serious.

He smiled again: "You are doing well."
Hearing this, the tightness in Xia Wan's eyes slowly melted away, Huo Yu pulled him up, the two changed into their clothes, washed up briefly and went out together.
There was the sound of splashing water in the kitchen, and Aunt Zhang was busy.

Xia Wan looked at him sideways, trying to make him smile, but her lips moved and she didn't say anything.
"Drink some water." Huo Yu poured two cups of hot water and brought them over, placing them in front of the two of them respectively, looking at Xia Wan, and nodded lightly to him.
"Xiao Yu." Xia Chengzhang slowly raised his head, pointed to the single sofa next to him, "You sit too."
Huo Yu pursed his lips and nodded, then sat down beside him.
"Xiao Yu told you everything." Xia Chengzhang asked, his raised eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at those weather-beaten eyes, Xia Wan felt even more sad.
Xia Chengzhang never had such a serious illness. If there was one, it was only once, and that was the night when he agreed to Xia's family's funding for him to have better educational conditions.
Must have been up all night, right?
Xia Wan gave a soft "um" and nodded.
"I'm sorry." Xia Chengzhang lowered his head again.
Since yesterday, it seems that he can no longer hold his head up in front of anyone.
After seeing Wen Yunzhi's pain, the anxiety and guilt in his heart made him suffocate.
It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but he never dared to let himself think deeply.
And every time he saw a family-hunting program, he would immediately turn it off in panic.
All this is because I very selfishly want to keep Xia Wan by my side forever.
He closed his eyes: "Last night, I felt like I was back in the waiting room 18 years ago. The scene at that time was still very clear, because I had thought about it countless times, but this time, you were thrown to the ground When I was crying, I chose to hold you in my arms and hand you over when the station staff came to ask..."
Hearing this, Xia Wan quietly squeezed Xia Chengzhang's hand tightly.
Xia Chengzhang's words became choked up: "Then you will return to your biological parents to grow up, your parents will not suffer for so many years, and you will be raised with gold and jade. Young master, not everyone can bully, without a strong backing, only a child with a burdensome and disabled father, your..."
He couldn't make a sentence: "Your fate will be completely different."
"Dad." Xia Wan's throat also choked up, and she called out softly.
"You should hate me, you shouldn't call me dad, the Xue family is your family." Xia Chengzhang seemed to be obsessed with his fantasy, and murmured, "If I hadn't been so selfish, I would have handed you over at that time." Enough."
"What about you?" Xia Wan asked softly, "After handing me over, what will you do?"
"Me?" Xia Chengzhang was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.
He would naturally end his life silently after returning to his hometown, as originally planned.
"Dad, no one can go back to the past, you are, and so am I," Xia Wan pursed her lips, her eyelashes wet with tears, "You can't go back to the past and let me go, and I can't go back to the past and let go open you."
Xia Chengzhang raised his eyes to look at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant for a moment.
"I can't go back to the time when I didn't have feelings for you," Xia Wan called him, "Dad."
Xia Chengzhang clenched his teeth, and the voice in his throat was extremely sad.
Huo Yu passed the water in silence, Xia Chengzhang took it, but just held it in his hand and didn't drink it.
"Dad." Xia Wan bit her lip, "Have you ever thought that if you didn't find anything unusual at the station back then, then maybe I would have been sold by those two people, beaten and disabled and thrown outside to beg for food? Possibly lost life after no use value..."
Xia Chengzhang's eyes widened when he heard the words, and then he shook his head: "That won't work."
"Dad," Xia Wan said softly, "Fate sent me to the station, maybe it was to save you, and you insisted on going back to your hometown, maybe it was to save me."
"If you are still guilty, you will take your illness as a punishment." Xia Wan looked at him, "You were punished for your mistakes, and all that has passed?"
"Can this be counted?" Xia Chengzhang asked in confusion.
"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, took the tissue from the table, and moved over to wipe Xia Chengzhang's tears.
Xia Chengzhang's skin is rough, with many sunburns on his face, and every line of his face bears the pain left by the years.
"Dad, I won't leave you behind," Xia Wan said, and after a moment's pause, he clasped the tissue tightly in his palm, "but I also want to recognize my biological parents."
Xia Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, his eyes were still red: "Dad has no intention of objecting."
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "If your parents want to hold me accountable, no matter what, I'm willing to take it."
"They won't hold you accountable." Xia Wan shook his hand, comforting in a low voice.
Xia Chengzhang couldn't believe it, until Xia Wan solemnly nodded to him, his tears flowed down without any scruples.
The phone call with Wen Yunzhi ended last night, and Xue Chong took it.
He is much calmer and more rational than Wen Yunzhi, but his voice still has uncontrollable ups and downs.
"Ah Ke," he said, "Although the family really wants to be reunited as soon as possible, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and deal with the matter with your adoptive father."
"Thank you Dad." Xia Wan said.
Xue Chongben thought he would intercede for Xia Chengzhang, but Xia Wan did not speak.
His mood was complicated, but his resentment towards Xia Chengzhang subsided somewhat.
After all, the child was brought up very well by him.
Cheerful, optimistic, and motivated, neither humble nor overbearing, he can take on things at a young age, even if he is raised in Xue's family, it is nothing more than that.
"Tell him," Xue Chong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sighed softly, "The Xue family will not hold him accountable anymore, let him recover from his illness with peace of mind."
"Well," Xia Wan bit her lip and said, "Thank you."
"Silly boy," Xue Chong said, "The Xue family's not pursuing him is not because the Xue family is soft-hearted, nor is it because the Xue family is easy to bully, nor is it because they pity him, but because the family loves you."
Xia Wan bit her lip, but said nothing.
"Dad and Mom have lost you for too long, and I don't want to see you worrying about anyone or anything, so we let him go." Xue Chong said, "You just think you have an extra family. , but also remember that everyone in the family loves you."
Xia Wan held the phone in a daze for a long time, her whole body was wrapped in that kind of delicate and generous love and tenderness.
He is very familiar with this feeling, and it is exactly the same as what his family gave him when he didn't wear it before.
Xia Chengzhang's tears flowed fiercely, his lips trembled, and he didn't speak for a while.
The more the Xue family was like this, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Because of the kindness and tolerance of the other party, it is more difficult for him to accept his selfishness.
Xia Wan didn't say anything, just held his hand tightly and stayed with him without saying a word.
After a long time, Xia Chengzhang's mood slowly calmed down. He seemed to have remembered something, and shook Xia Wan's hand in a hurry.
"They must really want to see you soon," he said, "You today... you go to Xue's house today."
Then he said to Huo Yu: "Xiao Yu, you go with him."
"Yeah." Huo Yu nodded, "I'll go over after having breakfast with you."
It happened that Aunt Zhang had just prepared breakfast, Huo Yu got up and went over to help bring over the tableware.
"I know, Xiaoyu stayed here yesterday, just worried about me," Xia Chengzhang looked at Huo Yu's figure, and said to Xia Wan: "Don't worry, Dad will never do stupid things, your parents can help you If you don't hold me accountable, how can I not live a good life for you?"
"Daddy loves you too," he said.
Xia Wan nodded heavily, hot tears rolled down his cheeks, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Xia Chengzhang's heart is more transparent than anyone else's, and all the situations he was worried about did not exist.
They were all trying to make concessions because they loved him, and they didn't let him survive even a minute in the cracks.
After breakfast, Huo Yu went out with Xia Wan.
Before going out, Aunt Zhang deliberately called Xia Wan aside.
"Wan Wan," Aunt Zhang asked earnestly, "Did you quarrel with the old man?"
"No." Xia Wan smiled.
"There's something wrong with that." Aunt Zhang looked out with her eyebrows fixed, and persuaded again, "The old man's health is not good, you are a sensible and good boy, let him order everything, huh?"
"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, "Please spend more time today and take care of my dad for me."
"That's up to you, isn't this my job," said Aunt Zhang, "wrap it properly on me."
Xia Wan smiled for a while, and before going out, she couldn't help giving Aunt Zhang a big hug: "Thank you."
"Oh, my old bones." Aunt Zhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Go and do your work quickly, don't worry about your father wrapping Aunt on your body."
The weather outside was fine, and the sun shone through the thin clouds and cast people's shadows on the ground.
Xia Wan was held by Huo Yu, and just after turning the corner, she turned around suddenly and wrapped her arms around Huo Yu's waist tightly.
Huo Yu didn't speak, just hugged him tightly and gently kneaded the back of his neck.
On the way to Xue's house, Xia Wan's mood calmed down a lot, but it turned into another kind of tension.
He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and started to check the information, diverting his attention by the way.
After replying to a few work messages, he habitually opened the webpage and started browsing the news.
After Huo Yu returned to the Huo family, discussions about the Huo family continued on the Internet.
In different forums and posts, the Huo family has published many production contention scripts, but Huo Yu has never responded positively.
But today, this one is even more outrageous than the self-made scripts of those netizens in the past.
The person who posted the post claimed to be an insider about the Huo family, and the words in the post were also very well-founded.
The post mentioned that 20 years ago, Huo Peifeng and Yan Rui passed away in an accident, and Huo Yu, who was only five years old, was brought home by Huo Peixue to raise him.
During this period, Huo Peixue and his wife treated Huo Yu as their own, even more than their own son Huo Lin. Whether it was food and clothing or toys education, Huo Yu was the first in everything.
After Huo Peixue took over the Huo Corporation, he devoted most of his energy to his career, which was only to lay a solid foundation for Huo Yu to take over the Huo Corporation when he became an adult.
The post listed the aristocratic school that Huo Yu attended when he was young, the original comics that Huo Peixuefei bought abroad, several famous teachers that the Huo family hired for him, and also mentioned that he suddenly wanted to study abroad in his freshman year of high school. So he chose the best foreign art school for him...
Everything is trivial and detailed, even including the limited-edition luxury car that Huo Peixue gave Huo Yu after returning to China this spring. According to "informed sources", that car was actually Huo Lin's favorite car.
In addition to listing all the "good things" the Huo family has done to Huo Yu, the "insiders" naturally also condemned Huo Yu.
In his writing, Huo Yu can be described as an out-and-out white-eyed wolf.
Not only did Uncle Huo Peixue get so angry that he had a heart attack, but he even drove Huo Peixue and his family out of the Huo family mercilessly.
As for the Huo family, no matter what, Huo Peixue and his son have worked hard without credit. Why should Huo Yu enjoy the fruits of his 20 years of labor in vain?
Not only that, after returning to the Huo family, Huo Yu also made a special trip to the hospital to visit Mr. Huo Chuan.
According to an insider's post, Huo Chuan suffered a stroke a few years ago and has been recuperating in the hospital. His health has recovered, but he doesn't know what Huo Yu said to the old man this time. The old man is about to die.
The most embarrassing thing is that just two days ago, Huo Yu formally issued an ultimatum to the Huo family, demanding that the Huo family move out of the Huo residence.
The poster's final conclusion is even more instructive.
In his mouth, Huo Yu is not only ungrateful, but also bites back at his relatives who have worked so hard for him. He even wants to take the old house where the other party has lived for 20 years. It can be said that he is not greedy enough.
Netizens are easily incited, and no one knows how big the Huo family's old house is, how much it is worth, how it was obtained, and what it means to Huo Yu.
Not to mention the fact that apart from the old house, Huo Peixue and his family members, who have held the Huo family for 20 years, how much property and how many houses do they own?
Under the scope of their own cognition and the deliberate guidance of others, a war without gunpowder quickly broke out.
Xia Wan slowly swiped down the screen, frowning extremely tightly.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yu sensed that he was wrong, "Still worried about Dad?"
"No." Xia Wan licked her lips and asked, "Master, have you taken back the old house from the Huo family?"
"Well, after the land is taken back, I want to donate it." Huo Yu responded in a low voice, and then said, "Don't look at those messy things on the Internet."
"I'm angry." Xia Wan said, "They don't know anything, so why attack you like that on the Internet?"
"Not angry." Huo Yu said, looking sideways at him.
Xia Wan pursed her lips: "Recently, the popularity of your family's news has almost dropped, but now suddenly an insider came out to break the news, and he said a lot about your childhood, and it's hard to even refute it. I always feel that they are testing the waters now, and they may attack you further on a moral level in the future."
"So sharp?" Huo Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard his analysis.
"I'm serious." Xia Wan was a little anxious.
After all, Huo Yu has been abroad for many years, and he may not remember everything when he was a child. Even if he remembered clearly, he might not have the consciousness to leave evidence at that young age. Isn't it what the Huo family said?
Moreover, this so-called moral attack often does not require much evidence, as long as you find a good ghostwriter and grasp some plausible points, you can attack wantonly.
The more Xia Wan talked, the more she felt that the possibility was extremely high, and she asked, "Tell me, could this so-called "insider" be Huo Lin or your uncle?"
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Huo Yu couldn't help but smiled lightly.
"Still laughing!" Xia Wan couldn't help but glared at him.
"Don't be afraid." Huo Yu smiled obediently, "I don't care what others think."
Even when his future was uncertain in the past, he didn't care about the opinions of the outside world, not to mention that now that he is in a high position and holds power, he doesn't pay attention to these dying struggles of the Huo family.
Don't even bother wasting a minute or a second on them.
But if Xia Wan cared, he should let this end as soon as possible.
"I'm not afraid." Xia Wan reached out and shook Huo Yu's wrist lightly, "I just don't want those people to hurt you so recklessly."
Huo Yu was quiet for a moment, then shook Xia Wan's hand in the palm of his hand.
No one can hurt him anymore.
Except for summer nights.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't help but glance sideways at Xia Wan.
Xia Wan's expression was serious, the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, filled with righteous indignation...
But he didn't know that he was holding something extraordinary in his hand.
He also didn't know how cute he was in Huo Yu's eyes, how much he moved his heart.
