Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Protecting the Weak

Huo Huaisang’s brows furrowed. He was very displeased with how Fu Rou spoke about An Ge. He lifted his head, looking at Fu Rou, and said methodically,

"The Buddha says, ’Buddha only saves those with destiny.’ Last time, when Mom abused me, it was this aunt who saved me. Huaisang feels a connection with this aunt and wants to be close to her."

Fu Rou considered An Ge to be a demoness, enchanting both the old and the young alike. She was afraid that Huo Huaisang might be led astray by An Ge and was about to intervene again when Mrs. Huo spoke up,

"That’s enough. It’s rare for Huaisang to want to be close to someone. Don’t stop him."

As they spoke, An Ge took his hand, smiling gently at him, "How did you catch a cold, sweetheart?"

An Ge’s hands were gentle, warming Huo Huai’s heart.

He answered every question,

"Yesterday, Dad promised to come back and stay with me at night. I waited for him until midnight, then accidentally fell asleep. I caught a cold because I didn’t cover myself."

Hearing this, An Ge felt even more dissatisfied with Huo Shaoyan. She suppressed her frustration, maintaining her composure, and asked, "Does he do this often?"

Huo Huaisang thought for a moment and said, "Not really." Then he paused, "He’s very busy, so he rarely has time to keep... me company."

An Ge had lunch at the Huo Mansion. During the entire meal, she continually picked dishes for Huo Huaisang, her care could be described as incredibly attentive.

To outsiders, Huo Huaisang was the child of An Baoying and Huo Shaoyan, so even if An Ge liked children, there seemed no reason for her to be this kind to Huo Huaisang.

Therefore, after Huo Huaisang was sent to the kindergarten, Fu Rou pulled An Ge aside and said,

"An Ge, I know we wronged you back then. Name your terms, and we’ll try our best to compensate you, but please don’t have any ulterior motives with the child."

An Ge frowned, looking at Fu Rou and said, "Is this how you see me? As a despicable person?"

Fu Rou replied, "You’re not a simple-minded woman. Can you really say you didn’t come back to avenge us? You deliberately got close to Huaisang and built a relationship with him, then plan to emotionally harm him once he depends on you..."

An Ge interrupted, "Lady Fu, you’re overthinking it."

An Ge couldn’t be bothered to keep arguing. After saying this, she was about to leave when Fu Rou blocked her path and said,

"Is it that I’m overthinking, or that your intentions are impure? You’ve definitely got some motives approaching Huaisang..."

An Ge countered,

"In your view, what am I after? The title of Mrs. Huo? Lady Fu, you should know better than anyone that the title of Mrs. Huo is something President Huo would willingly place at my feet if I were to nod in agreement. I don’t need to plot."

Pausing for a moment,

"As for my kindness toward Young Master Huo, that’s because I pity him. He has a mother but doesn’t receive the love he wants from her. I could have a son, yet I can’t give him my maternal love. Through him, I channel the longing I feel for my son. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Fu Rou: "..."

An Ge continued, "You all keep saying you regret things, but nothing you’ve done has shown any conscience."

Fu Rou’s expression was unsightly, but she insisted on expressing her stance to An Ge,

"Surely, you must have heard about An Muxin and Ah Yan by now? They are husband and wife in every sense, and they..."

An Ge interrupted her again, "Lady Fu, why do you look down on me?"

"Isn’t it obvious? You come from humble beginnings, all you have is a pretty face but are infamous, you have been entangled with many men... How can you compare with someone like An Muxin, who comes from such a prestigious family?"

An Ge laughed coldly and said,

"You were born into a noble family, the eldest daughter of the Fu Family from the Imperial City, well-matched with Master Huo, Huo Zhenwei, from Jingcheng. But were you happy in your marriage?

Moreover, does being a noble daughter make you superior? Are ordinary people as insignificant as ants? Without the countless ordinary working people contributing to society, you wouldn’t even have rice to eat."

After bidding Mrs. Huo farewell, An Ge made a trip to Jingcheng Hospital. After meeting with Xiao Ye, she met up with Anna, and they spent the entire afternoon analyzing various recent medical reports of Xiao Ye.

Finally, they confirmed a treatment plan.

In three days, An Ge would operate on Xiao Ye under her medical alias, Leo, to remove the blood clot pressing against his brainstem, which was the main cause of his prolonged coma.

Upon leaving the hospital building, An Ge received a call from Teacher Duoduo of the kindergarten.

"Mommy Huanhuan, there’s been an incident."

Half an hour later, An Ge arrived at Royal Liya Kindergarten. She hadn’t even reached the classroom when she heard the sound of a heated argument emanating from inside.

"Huo Huaisang, I’m your real cousin, your family. Are you sure you want to protect this little bastard whose father is unknown and whose stepmother is a whore?"

"Hey, Jiang Nianen, did you eat shit? I’m not a bastard, I have a dad. My dad is the number one elite in Jingcheng, Huo Shaoyan. If you dare to let your bodyguard bully me, I’ll have my dad teach you a lesson."

Oh, the brave voice belonged to her daughter, Huo Chenghuan.

"Hey, little bastard, do you talk without thinking? And you claim your dad is the top elite in Jingcheng. Do you know my relationship with Huo Shaoyan?"

Huo Chenghuan scoffed disdainfully, puffing up with anger,

"Whatever it is, you’ll never be his daughter, and you’ll never match my noble status!"

"My grandma is Huo Shaoyan’s aunt. Huo Shaoyan is my uncle!"

"But he’s my real dad," Huo Chenghuan retorted furiously, puffing her cheeks and raising her chin defiantly at the overbearing Jiang Nianen, "If you have the guts, challenge me yourself, don’t let your bodyguard bully someone smaller."

Jiang Nianen was livid and said,

"You’re not only an ill-mannered little bastard but also a notorious liar."

As she spoke, she reached out, pointing at Huo Huaisang, who stood between them,

"Huo Huaisang, get out of my way, or I’ll have the bodyguard beat you too. Understand that we are the real family, and today I’m the birthday party’s hostess. I have the authority to demand that this ignorant little bastard get lost immediately..."

Before she could finish, she felt a hard object strike her head, causing her to scream in pain,

"Aah—"

It was at this point that An Ge stepped forward.

Simultaneously, another tall and imposing man came from the other side, stepping into the classroom before An Ge.

The man was clad in a well-tailored black suit and trousers, exuding a fierce and uncompromising aura.

He approached them first, his voice grim, "What is going on here?"

"Dad, this little bastard wrecked my birthday cake and then pushed over a vase, injuring my head, wuwu..."

Jiang Nianen’s head had been struck by a vase over a meter high, shattering it and causing blood to flow down her cheeks to her chin, making her look pitifully wretched.

No parent could remain calm with their child hurt.

Moreover, Jiang Fengmian was a doting father.

His face darkened severely.

While instructing the bodyguard to attend to Jiang Nianen’s injured forehead, he moved to yank Huo Chenghuan from behind Huo Huaisang.

Huo Huaisang was fiercely protective, furrowing his brow,

"That’s not the way it happened. En En began by insulting Huanhuan, calling her a bastard. Huanhuan’s brother, Huo Shiqian, warned her, but she ordered her bodyguard to tie him up. That’s why Huanhuan smashed En En’s birthday cake..."

Before Huo Huaisang could finish, Jiang Nianen cried out hysterically,

"Huo Huaisang, I’m your real cousin. Ever since that bastard transferred here, you’ve stopped wanting to play with me. I just told her a few things, and I didn’t say anything wrong. She was adopted, didn’t even have parents. If she’s not a bastard, then what..."

Huo Chenghuan loathed being called a bastard.

She stepped forward from behind Huo Huaisang just then, her eyes red as she glared at Jiang Nianen, puffing with anger,

"I’ll say it once more, I’m not a bastard. I have a dad, my dad is Huo Shaoyan, and I can do a DNA test to prove it..."

Jiang Nianen was amused by Huo Chenghuan’s bold claims.

She even felt that her injured head didn’t hurt so much anymore as she laughed, scornfully mocking,

"You liar, you can really tell big lies. If you’re my uncle’s biological daughter, I’ll kneel and bow down to you..."

"Bowing isn’t necessary. After all, we have manners."

The voice speaking was An Ge, who could no longer hold back.

She walked over from behind Jiang Fengmian, beckoning to Huo Chenghuan, "Huanhuan, come here."

Seeing her mommy, the tears Huo Chenghuan was holding back finally fell.

Tearfully, she rushed into her mommy’s embrace, choked with sobs, "Mommy..."

As An Ge bent down to pick her up, Jiang Fengmian’s gaze was already fixed on her.

Jiang Fengmian knew An Ge had returned home.

But he hadn’t expected that they would meet again in such circumstances after so many years.

Jiang Fengmian narrowed his eyes, gazing profoundly at An Ge for a moment before speaking coldly,

"It’s an indisputable fact that your daughter injured my daughter..."

Before Jiang Fengmian could finish, An Ge interrupted with a cold voice,

"Young Master Jiang, if you’re going to say that, I’ll say it’s your daughter who verbally attacked mine first. Besides, the truth of whether my daughter initiated the fight hasn’t been investigated yet. Why are you so eager to settle scores?"

Jiang Nianen had been indulged by Jiang Fengmian into being rather spoiled.

Subjectively, she didn’t feel she was at fault; moreover, in her eyes, she looked down on both Huo Chenghuan and her mother.

So Jiang Nianen crossed her arms arrogantly and declared to An Ge,

"So you are Huo Chenghuan’s adoptive mother? I’ve heard from the housemaids that you aren’t a good woman, you’re a notorious tramp, which is why you were kicked out by my uncle and became his ex, discarded like chaff.

Also, if you’re shameless yourself, don’t teach your daughter to be bad. Look at how bad she is, lying and claiming she’s my uncle’s biological daughter, it’s hilarious..."

Jiang Fengmian frowned, reflexively questioning An Ge, "Is she really Huo Shaoyan’s daughter?"
