Chapter 384: Huo Shaoting Goes to City C

.Wen Man, no.She politely said to him, "My father was able to pass away peacefully because of Lawyer Huo. Now that he's gone, I'm very grateful that Lawyer Huo is willing to come and pay his respects....The next day, Huo Shaoting went to city C.

Wen Man didn't know.

The chartered plane landed at 10 o'clock, and Huo Shaoting arrived at the Lu family before 12 noon. The housekeeper saw him and was surprised. He rushed to the hall and reported to the old lady: "Grandma, Young Master Sun is here."

Old Lady Lu was startled: Shao Ting was here again

She hurriedly asked, "What for"

The old woman's worry was justified.

Lu Qian slept with someone else's sister and even had a son with her. These years have passed, and he still hasn't given an explanation. It's normal for the Huo family to be angry. I wonder if they're coming to fight with Lu Qian again!

The Butler thought carefully: “Looking at his face, it doesn’t seem good!”

Grandma Lu was worried.

At this time, Huo Shaoting came in and respectfully called out to his grandmother.

Grandma Lu was puzzled.

Normally, Shaoting mostly calls Grandma. Today, why is he like this She wanted to ask, but Huo Shaoting supported her towards the small courtyard, his tone gentle: "There are some things I want to tell you privately."

The old woman put her heart at ease and chuckled, “Shaoting, you're acting all mysterious now.”

Ho Shaoting smiled faintly.

Upon arriving at the old woman's small courtyard, where there was no one in sight, Huo Shaoting took out a photograph from his bosom and gently placed it before the old woman.

Old Mrs. Lu put on her reading glasses and looked closely.

"These are my old photos! Shao Ting, how do you have them..."

When flipped over, the old woman did not ask again, her expression changing subtly.

It seems wistful and painful, yet with a yearning for the past.

On the reverse side it reads: A beautiful woman is like a dream, she can be grasped.

Mrs. Xie, surnamed Xie, is a good fortune!

The old woman's voice trembled slightly: "Shaoting, I recognize this handwriting. Only he remembers my name is Ke Ying."

Upon saying that, tears welled up in her eyes.

Ho Shaoting's voice was low, "A master entrusted this to you! He said... he said that his greatest regret in life is that he couldn't say sorry to you."

The old woman gently stroked the photo and sighed, "Why must he do this! Is Shaoting alright"

Ho Shao-ting fell silent for two seconds.

The old woman immediately knew it wouldn't be good.

Indeed, Huo Shaoting covered her hand with his own and whispered, "Master Qing Shui has passed away! The old lady was the last person he cared about!"

Passed away...

The old woman was stunned, but she didn't cry. She just gently stroked the characters.

A beautiful woman like a dream.

When they were young, the two were truly a match made in heaven. However, their families had a long-standing feud, and his family disapproved of the relationship, even saying some unkind things. She was also a strong-willed woman, and six months later, she married into the Lu family.

That person ran away from home and later it was heard that they entered a monastery.

Crystal clear water.

The old, plain bedroom was quiet. The elderly woman did not cry or make a fuss.

But Huo Shaoting knew she wasn't feeling well.

He whispered to her about the connection between Master Qing Shui and the Huo family. The old woman listened with a serene expression: "He thought he had emptied himself of all attachments, but in the end, he was still doing this for me."

The old woman sat alone for half a day after the passing of her friend.

Ho Shaoting has been with him all along.

When Lu Qian returned at night, he heard the servants say that Huo Shaoting was also there unexpectedly.

The servant said that the old lady was in a bad mood and her grandson-in-law was accompanying her, so he was even more surprised. He didn't even bother to wipe his face and went straight to the small courtyard.

The bedroom door was locked.

Lu Qian knocked gently on the door and said softly, "Grandma, why are you locking yourself in"

The door creaked open.

"It's Huo Shaoting," he said, casually closing the door behind him. "Let Grandma have some time alone!"

Lu Qian was not feeling well.

After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with the old lady"

Huo Shaoting fell silent for a few seconds: "Grandma, an old acquaintance has passed away."

Lu Qian looked dubious.

After a while, he probably guessed who it was. After all, both families were prominent back then, and the incident had caused quite a stir.

Ho Shao-ting had originally planned to rush back to city B overnight.

He missed Wen Man and the children.

But he rarely comes, so Lu Qian asked him to stay the night. "Grandma's heart isn't feeling well, and having more people around the house is always a good thing," plus she spoils you!

Ho Shao-ting then agreed.

Lu Qian cooked several small dishes himself.

The night was cool like water. Huo Shaoting stood in the small courtyard and made a phone call to Wen Man, reporting his whereabouts.

Wen Man answered the phone.

She said softly, "Dinner is ready. Are you coming back to eat"

Huo Shaoting unbuttoned a coat button and whispered, "You eat with the children first! I'm going out of town on business and may not be back. If you can't sleep at night, put Huo Xi in your bed, that child likes to cling to you the most."

He said he was on a business trip, and Wen Man didn't suspect anything.

She only asked him to pay attention to his health.

Hu Shaoting, listening to her soft voice, felt a deep longing for her. He blurted out, "Wen Man, I miss you already after just one day."

"Me too."

Huo Shaoting's heart skipped a beat, and he was just about to say something else.

"Being together all the time, you can't even stand it for one night" Lu Qian's voice sounded rather sour.

Ho Shaoting hung up the phone and smiled.

He had a few drinks with Lu Qian and chatted casually.

Ho Shaoting took off his coat, revealing a black turtleneck sweater underneath. A few glasses of wine had left a rosy flush on his cheeks.

It looks really good.

Having had some drinks, and feeling less restrained than usual, he naturally blurted out, "Uncle, when are you planning to give Mingzhu and Shuoshuo a home"

Lu Qian clutched his glass, a wry smile on his face.

He was very sorry to Mingzhu. He had kept putting off his promises, but thankfully there wasn't any danger now.

Perhaps due to feminine reserve, Mingzhu is not as proactive as before.

And he always had to work until the New Year before he could attend to private matters.

"Cheers to the Lunar New Year!" Lu Qian muttered, gazing at his cup.

Lu Qian stated clearly, and Huo Shaoting was happy in his heart.

He personally poured a glass of wine for Lu Qian.

The two of them chatted happily.

As night fell, Huo Shaoting slept in Wen Man's room, Lu Qian came to Old Mrs. Lu's courtyard. The old woman was heartbroken and hadn't eaten much. Lu Qian made her some wontons.

"Here, have some, Grandma!"

"I'll go with you if you want to see it."

The old woman waved her hand.

She looked out the window at the bright moon and whispered, "He guessed the ending but still did it. That's how he wants to be truly free! Lu Qian, I won't bother him anymore."

Lu Qian nodded. "That's good too!"

He was filial and that night he slept on the sofa in his grandmother's bedroom.

Early in the morning, Huo Shaoting was about to leave.

Lu Qian asked him to bring some things for Mingzhu and Shuoshuo.

When Huo Shaoting got home, it was almost noon.

There are guests at home, it is Jiang Rui's sister Jiang Sheng, and also Zhou Muyan's wife.

Jiang Rui is the number one rival in love.

He Shao-ting inevitably glanced at Jiang Sheng more often. Jiang Sheng, being innocent and pure, felt a bit intimidated by him.

After sitting for a short while, he ran very fast.

Ho Shaoting watched the white sports car drive away, unbuttoned his coat, and feigned confusion: "She seems to be quite afraid of me!"

Wen Man glanced at him.

With that kind of look in his eyes, how could Jiang Sheng, who was so honest and simple, not be afraid

Ho Shao-ting wasn't in a hurry to go to the company.

He held Wen Man in his lap, asking her gently, "Jiang Sheng come over for something"

Wendy nodded.

She brought the tickets for Zhou Muyan, he has an F1 race next weekend.

Ho Shaoting smiled: "He's almost 30, and he's still racing! I think Jiang Sheng is quite used to him."

Wen Man gently caressed his handsome face: "Envious I'm used to you too, you know. Even when you had amnesia, I let you be a lawyer!"

Speaking of this, Wen Man said seriously: "Shaoting, I know you prefer to be a lawyer. After this child is born..."

Ho Shaoting stopped her from continuing.

He whispered, "I would rather be your husband."

As a man, providing the best life for his wife and children is paramount, regardless of other considerations.

Before meeting Wen Man, his ideal was law, but now his entire life ideal is Wen Man and the children.

Besides, conquering the business world can also bring him great satisfaction.Ho Shao-ting's icy hand brushed against her face: "As long as it tastes good!"Wen Man glared at him.Ho Shao-ting just smiled.For a while, he took out a cigarette and said softly, "I'm going outside fo...
