Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Turbulent, Intense

Young Master Huo’s throat tightened, and his heart twisted painfully. He had never heard his own voice sound so sorrowful or helpless before, as he said,

"It doesn’t matter if you like me or love me. What matters is that even if you’re just an empty shell without a soul, I want you to stay."

An Ge laughed loudly, but her tone was sarcastic, "President Huo, you’re truly pathetic!"

Young Master Huo’s voice caught in his throat, and not a single word could come out.

The DNA paternity test from the umbilical cord blood came out the next morning. It was just at dawn.

[Young Master Huo, enveloped in the thin morning mist, stood with a tall but uncharacteristically gloomy and dim silhouette.]

Jiang Fengmian walked over with the DNA test results from the umbilical cord blood done overnight and said with a voice full of complexity,

"She didn’t lie. The DNA result from the umbilical cord blood shows that the child she carried years ago was yours."

Young Master Huo’s hand, which held the cigarette, trembled violently, and a piece of ash fell.

Deep inside, it was as if something suddenly collapsed, shattered disastrously—something he couldn’t save no matter how hard he tried.

At dawn, the surroundings were silent except for his gradually heavy breathing and the sharp pain overwhelming his heart.

After a long while, he finally turned around.

With just one look, Jiang Fengmian was startled by the deep red bloodshot eyes in Young Master Huo’s gaze.

"You look terrible," said Jiang Fengmian with an increasingly complicated voice.

Before Jiang Fengmian could finish his sentence, the man who had stood like a mountain suddenly collapsed.

Two hours later, Young Master Huo awoke again. The moment he opened his eyes and struggled to sit up, his mind went blank except for one voice.

He had committed an unforgivable sin.

He had personally forced his own set of twins to die before they were born. He truly was gravely sinful.

It was as if his words were prophetic, and he was punished.

Regret it? Of course.

He had regretted it since the grim news of her death was announced five years ago.

Now, with the truth surfacing, accompanied by the sediment of time, the accumulated regret felt like a heavy mountain, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.

Fu Rou entered Young Master Huo’s hospital room at this time.

On her way here, she only heard Jiang Fengmian say that Young Master Huo’s old ailment had relapsed and he had fainted. She did not know the exact cause.

She hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, full of worry.

"Feng Mian said you fainted. Did you forget to take your medicine again?"

Young Master Huo raised his hand to massage his throbbing temples and leaned back against a pillow.

He said nothing, but his gaze settled on Fu Rou.

Fu Rou was startled by his bloodshot eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she said a little guiltily,

"I know you hate me. But frankly, the fundamental reason you and An Ge have reached this point isn’t due to my interference, but because of yourself.

If you truly wanted to be with her, not even your grandfather could have stopped you back then. In the end, it’s because you don’t love her, and you... can’t blame anyone else."

Fu Rou’s words pierced sharply, causing a deep pain in Young Master Huo’s heart.

After a long while, he coldly and solemnly said, "I can’t blame others, but in the matter of separating me from her, you played a significant role."

Fu Rou’s face turned a little unpleasant.

She took a deep breath and said,

"I did it all for your good. In those circumstances, you and she were doomed to be a disastrous fate. Her reputation was tarnished, and her background was sordid. She was pregnant with an unknown bastard, and her relationships with other men were unclear. Without my interference, you still wouldn’t have been able to truly accept her. Her lack of purity meant you could never truly love her. Besides, back then, she was merely a stand-in for Qin Xiaoqi in your eyes. You didn’t love her, did you?"

Young Master Huo suddenly laughed, an eerie, cold laughter.

Fu Rou felt a chill at his laughter and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Young Master Huo raised his eyes, his Phoenix Eyes looking coldly at her, and said, "You guess?"

Fu Rou thought Young Master Huo was utterly bewitched by An Ge, now acting crazy like a lunatic.

She looked at Young Master Huo with extremely complex emotions, and after a long while, she said with heartfelt sincerity,

"Ah Yan, by now, you must be clearer than anyone that there’s no chance for you and An Ge to reconcile. Anyone can see that she’s back to take revenge on you. Even if she doesn’t, she has ulterior motives to use you..."

Before she could finish, Young Master Huo cut her off coldly,

"I’m only afraid that she has no ulterior motives for me. Whether it’s revenge or use, I’m willing to accept it."

Fu Rou gritted her teeth and said, "Aren’t you afraid she’d stab you to death?"

Young Master Huo’s emotions suddenly lost control, his voice rising, "I’m only afraid she won’t stab me!"

At those words, Fu Rou’s pupils contracted dramatically, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "I think you’re truly mad!"

Young Master Huo laughed loudly, yet as he laughed, his eyes turned red and moist.

Deep moisture and fierce anger welled up in his eyes, but not a single tear spilled over.

He stared unwaveringly at Fu Rou and said coldly to her,

"I’m not mad. I’m the one who deserves to be cut to pieces. I personally forced my child in her womb to die."

Fu Rou was stunned into silence.

After a long while, she finally found her voice, shaky and trembling, "What... what did you say?"

Young Master Huo said, "The DNA test from the umbilical cord blood came out. The child in her womb back then was mine."

Fu Rou was too shocked to speak.

Young Master Huo continued, "So, do you still think her tarnished reputation makes her unworthy to be your daughter-in-law?"

The truth always leaves one full of regret.

Fu Rou collapsed onto the floor, silent for a long while.

Young Master Huo’s mood was at its worst.

He didn’t want to see Fu Rou, so he spoke coldly,

"I won’t forgive you, just like I won’t forgive myself. You should leave." After a pause, "Otherwise, we truly have nothing left as mother and son."

Fu Rou’s face was streaked with tears, "I’m sorry. I didn’t know the truth was like this..."

Young Master Huo had run out of patience with her and said,

"You should apologize to her, not to me. If you truly feel guilty, go to her, apologize, and seek her forgiveness."

Fu Rou thought for a moment and said, "I will go find her."

After pausing,

"But, Ah Yan, I still want to say one more thing. Regardless of the irreparable past between you and her, and the five long years in between, she now has a son and a daughter. You’re truly impossible..."

Young Master Huo found her words extremely displeasing.

His voice suddenly turned icy as he rebuked,

"I don’t know if there’s a chance for her and me, but I can tell you for sure that if you say another word, I’ll sever all ties with you!"

Fu Rou felt a sharp pain in her heart, but in the end, she wisely left.

Downstairs in the hospital, she ran into An Ge, who was bringing Huo Chenghuan to get medicine.

Upon seeing them, Fu Rou hurried over.

Her appearance blocked An Ge’s way, and she said urgently, "I just wanted to find you. Can we talk privately?"

An Ge curled her lips, her voice gentle but chillingly indifferent,

"Lady Fu, there’s nothing for us to talk about, besides I have to take my daughter to see the doctor. I’m busy."

At this, Fu Rou finally turned her gaze to Huo Chenghuan beside An Ge.

The little one’s eyes were incredibly exquisite, a shape similar to Young Master Huo’s but with expressions resembling An Ge’s.

Fu Rou, being a woman with keen instincts, quickly connected the dots within seconds.

Suppressing her suspicions, she knelt beside Huo Chenghuan and tried to converse with her, "Little one, what’s your name?"

Huo Chenghuan knew she was Huo Dazha’s mother, her bad grandmother, and didn’t want to engage with her.

She turned her head away, ignoring her.

That head turn revealed a profile that perfectly matched Young Master Huo’s childhood likeness.

Fu Rou felt a stir in her heart and couldn’t hold back from standing up and asking An Ge, "Is she really your adopted daughter?"

An Ge’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "You don’t think she’s the daughter I secretly bore for President Huo, do you?"

Fu Rou said, "Her eyes do resemble Ah Yan’s when he was young..."

An Ge laughed and said,

"Are you so desperate for a granddaughter? Haven’t I made it clear? Your biological grandson and granddaughter were forced to death by you five years ago. So, may I pass now?"

Fu Rou, unwilling to give up, said,

"An Ge, I know you hate us, but please don’t let the grievances between adults harm innocent children. However much you resent us, could you not prevent the child from recognizing her own blood?"

An Ge frowned, interrupted with a laugh, and said,

"Lady Fu, you’re really overthinking it. Huanhuan has nothing to do with your Huo Family."

Pausing to add,

"If you don’t believe it, you can ask President Huo. The first night I returned to China, he personally raided my residence and pulled Huanhuan’s hair with follicles for a DNA test.

I presume you’ve heard about that result. The fact indicates Huanhuan has nothing to do with your Huo family."

An Ge’s words crushed the spark of hope Fu Rou felt.

Her throat moved wordlessly for a moment before she said,

"We wronged you back then. But, I still stand by my words—you and Ah Yan are not suitable. No matter your reasons for approaching him, I will not allow you to harm him. That’s my bottom line."

An Ge laughed coldly and left with Huo Chenghuan.

Fu Rou watched them leave for quite a distance and then carefully stowed away a hair with follicles she had secretly plucked.

In Fu Rou’s mind, An Ge was a woman with countless schemes; she wouldn’t believe all her words.

So, there was something she had to do herself.

She intended to personally conduct a DNA paternity test between Young Master Huo and Huo Chenghuan.

With this in mind, Fu Rou took the hair sample with follicles and hurried away.

Meanwhile, in the elevator, Huo Chenghuan glanced up to her, worried, and said,

"Mommy, bad grandma secretly pulled my hair. Is she suspicious of my identity? Oh no, will my identity be exposed just like that? Smelly daddy will definitely try to take me away from you."
