Chapter 230 Don't Care What Others Think

After knocking on the door, Huo Xingyan waited until he shouted "In!" with a full breath inside, he pushed open the door of the study and entered.

In the study room, the first side of the bookshelves facing south are the bookshelf, which occupy half of the wall.

It is said that Mr. Huo was a cultural person when he was young. He loved reading and became a nerd. However, in that era of chaos, when the enemy broke through the country's borders and countless young heroes sacrificed countless families, Mr. Huo abandoned the cultural person's cells and instead carried a gun to the battlefield.

I believe that everyone who came from that era has more or less experienced this.

When Huo Xingyan was a teenager, he saw Mr. Huo touching the skin of those old books many times, looking either sighing or sad, but he had never seen him open the old books again. Even if the broken books were later repaired and returned to the bookshelf, they were just carefully collected and placed.

Huo Xingyan admired and respected Mr. Huo, but as Zhao Qingli said, the two grandfathers and grandsons almost had a grudge in their previous life, and their personalities were incompatible. They always turned against each other in less than a few words, like a firecracker.

At this moment, Mr. Huo was sitting upright behind the desk, wearing reading glasses and a magnifying glass in his hand, and was studying something about a bronze Buddha statue placed on the table.

Huo Xingyan did not dare to disturb him, so he had to wait quietly.

After a while, Mr. Huo put down his magnifying glass and wiped his hands clean. Then he wrapped the bronze Buddha statue in cloth and carefully put it back in place.

While taking off his reading glasses, Mr. Huo glanced at Huo Xingyan and seemed to snorted, "Here's here!"

"Yes, grandpa!" Huo Xingyan replied calmly.

Mr. Huo snorted from his nostril again and said sarcastically: "Do you know what I'm looking for you?"

"Sit down first." He pointed to the sofa seat on one side.

Huo Xingyan did not sit down, but just stood respectfully at the desk and said, "Yes! Xingyan also wants to explain to you about this matter."

"Explanation?" Mr. Huo repeated the word strangely, his eyes almost shrank and shrank, "Explanation!? Explain it to me! You should explain it to Youran, and you should explain it to the Hua family!"

Huo Xingyan reached out and wiped the spit that did not exist on his face. This behavior almost made Mr. Huo angry.

"Please rest assured grandpa. I have explained it to Youran and told her clearly that I will not marry her. The only person I really love is Mimi!"

"You--" Old Master Huo stared at Huo Xingyan with his pupils almost widened, and then he swung the crutch beside the table and waved it towards Huo Xingyan.

"You say it again!"

The crutch hit Huo Xingyan's body heavily, and through his clothes, it made a dull sound between the collision with his body.

Huo Xingyan groaned and frowned slightly, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and unyielding. "Say it again, my answer will not change!"

"You--" Mr. Huo was so angry that his crutch suddenly loosened from his hands and fell to the ground.

"Bang--" As the crutches fell to the ground, Mr. Huo covered his chest and fell on the seat with a blue face.

"Grandpa!" Huo Xingyan stepped forward anxiously, but was pushed away by Mr. Huo.

"Get out of here, you little bastard, you are just going to be angry to death!"

Huo Xingyan's hand was frozen in the air. After Mr. Huo's condition improved, his breathing was stable, his face was normal, he continued to speak, "Grandpa, you have taught me since you were a child that a real man should do something and not do anything. Since I am already with Mimi and we are in love, I cannot abandon her. Besides, there is no love relationship between Youran and I."

Mr. Huo looked up at him. The light in his turbid eyes made Huo Xingyan dare not look at him, but he directly met Mr. Huo without giving in.

"Boy!" Mr. Huo suddenly spat lightly, and he sighed in his breath, "I have always felt that among my grandchildren, you are the most similar to me, and even your father has never, so I have always loved you the most. If you say you don't want to join the army and want to go business, I will go with you! Because I know that your child has his own ideas since he was a child, so I will let it go..."

"But, Xingyan," Mr. Huo suddenly sighed a long time ago, his expression became a little more depressed. "Grandpa also told you since he was a child that as a man, the credit he should keep for what he promised, I will never forget in this life! Since you promised Youran to marry her, now that you have gone back on your word, what do you let others see you? Say you, Huo Xingyan, is a villain who goes back on your word?"

"...I don't care what others think of me!" Huo Xingyan straightened his spine and his tone was full of stubbornness.

Mr. Huo almost got angry again, so he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of herbal tea, and then slapped the teacup on the table.

"Bang—" The tea water in the tea cup was everywhere, and the table was covered with water.

Mr. Huo's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were filled with fierce light, "Listen! I don't care about your messy things. Since you promised to marry someone, then marry me! Don't mess with me!"

"If you agree, you will marry me?" Huo Xingyan repeated this sentence, pursing his lips tightly, "According to what grandpa, you said, I promised Mimi, will there be a lot of people I need to marry?"

"Huo Xingyan!"

With this roar, Zhao Qingli, who was almost excited outside the door, heard the corner of the wall, was shocked and almost knocked open the door in front of her and entered.

"Grandpa!" Huo Xingyan suddenly bowed to Mr. Huo in a regular manner, with his handsome face full of seriousness and seriousness. "I have never told you before that since it is at this critical moment, I have to talk to you."

"Mimi and I have a husband and wife. Maybe she is pregnant with my child now. Do you have the heart to break up and let your grandson have no father?"

Outside the door, Zhao Qingli heard Huo Xingyan say this and rushed in happily and grabbed Huo Xingyan and asked. The good boy, his hands and feet were so fast, and he deserved to be her son!

"What did you say!?" Mr. Huo could hardly believe his ears.

"That's what you heard!" Before coming, Huo Xingyan analyzed all the pros and cons clearly. This trick was his last resort.

There was a long silence in the study room. After Huo Xingyan admitted it calmly, Mr. Huo did not speak for a while.

"Forget it..." After a while, Mr. Huo waved tiredly, "I can't control your young people's affairs and don't want to care about them..."

"Grandpa..." Huo Xingyan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Mr. Huo like this. He knew how much trouble his affairs with Hua Youran would bring to the Huo family.

"Go out." Mr. Huo didn't want to say much, so he directly issued an order to expel guests.

"...Yes, grandpa!" Huo Xingyan lowered his eyes and quietly retreated. The moment he closed the door, he saw Mr. Huo facing away from him, staring at the four powerful words on the wall in a daze, and couldn't help feeling obscure.

"Ayan..." Zhao Qingli was waiting in the corridor. Seeing him coming, he was about to ask, but Huo Xingyan raised his hand to stop her from asking, "Mom, stop asking."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Qingli saw the fatigue between his eyebrows and stopped talking tactfully.

Seeing him walking towards the stairs, he couldn't help but say, "Ayan, it's so late, please stay at home."

"No," Huo Xingyan rubbed the bones of his eyebrows, his tone was full of fatigue. "I still have some things to deal with. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

Zhao Qingli couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw his tall and thin body disappearing from the stairs.

When leaving the main house, Huo Xingyan accidentally met someone.

No, it was not an accident to be precise. The other party seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. Huo Xingyan saw the man stepping forward and looked at him in a vain.

"Sister-in-law!" Huo Xingyan's heart was as bright as a mirror, but his surface was silent.

"Xingyan!" Tan Yuxi looked a little helpless and even thinner. Her thin body, which used to be, can now be blown down like a gust of wind.

"Sister-in-law is so late, why don't she go to bed? Congcong should have fallen asleep long ago." Huo Xingyan deliberately changed the topic by talking about Tai Chi.

"This...yes!" Tan Yuxi's face was a little stiff, "Congcong has always been very obedient!"

The moonlit night is rising, and the night wind is strong outside the door. It is the time when the dew is deeper and heavier. In the distance, the bright lights among the grass are white and bright, as if the stars in the sky.

Not far away, Xiao Li had been waiting for a long time, and the dark figure of the Maybach car body was almost mixed together like the night.

When Xiao Li got up from the car door, Huo Xingyan gave him a wink, and the latter did not act rashly.

"Since that's the case, my sister-in-law should go to bed earlier." Huo Xingyan pretended to be tired and pinched his eyebrows, raised his foot and prepared to walk towards the Maybach car body.

"Xingyan—" When he turned around and wanted to leave, Tan Yuxi almost rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, and cried and said, "Xingyan, please, please help Tan Family, I beg you, help Tan Family..." She cried so hard that she couldn't hold on, and her tears fell down like she didn't want money. It was probably because she had cried hard before.

"Sister-in-law..." Huo Xingyan looked at the hands that grabbed his sleeve, with bright white and slender bones. They were a pair of hands that were very suitable for playing the piano, but they were also a pair of executioners.

Huo Xingyan glanced sideways and glanced at the latter, his clear pupils narrowed slightly, and there were complex emotions hidden inside.

He remembered the report he asked someone to investigate. The one after another was outrageous. It was these hands that were stained with too much sin and blood.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and repeatedly checked it, even he wouldn't believe it.

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand yet. It's not whether I'm willing to help Tanjia or not, but whether Tanjia or not."

After the words fell, Tan Yuxi raised her eyes in a daze and looked at Huo Xingyan above in a daze.
