Chapter 1110: Chapter 1179: Lesson

Huo Zheqian quickly grabbed Song Chunli and said, "Don’t be in such a hurry, panicking is useless."

Old Master Huo looked at Huo Yingjie and asked, "Yingjie, what do you think?"

It was he who had made those statements back then, and now he wanted to make a change, but he also needed to hear other people’s suggestions, especially those of the biggest victim at the time.

"We, the Huo Family, naturally cannot be bullied like this," Huo Yingjie said. "Yingqi is in danger now, we cannot ignore it, and Yingqi also has a child now. If they grow up in such an environment, I’m afraid neither mother nor child will live long."

"Dad, let Yingqi come back. If she’s still as wilful as before, I will send her elsewhere and find someone to take care of her, just to keep an eye on her, at the very least she won’t be bullied. She hasn’t eaten for three days..." Huo Zheqian said, for that was his daughter, and even when the family was going through the toughest times, she would never be starved for three days.

Old Madam Huo looked at Old Master Huo with hope and said, "Old Master, Xu Jian is a good kid, he knows how to protect his mother. We can’t let the child stay with the Xu Family."

After some careful consideration, Old Master Huo nodded and said, "Alright, let her and the child come back."

As one grows old, the heart also softens.

"Alright, I’ll go with Chunli right now," Huo Zheqian said excitedly, no longer concerned about his work.

"Uncle, let me take Aunt over there," Huo Yingjie said. It was during the delegate conference, and with Uncle’s high position and sensitive identity, it would be inappropriate for him to leave without authorization.

Moreover, it was unknown when Huo Yingqi would recover, so it was more appropriate for him to go.

If his older brother were here, it wouldn’t be Huo Yingjie’s turn.

With the big brother absent, he had to take on this responsibility for him.

Meanwhile, with He Tiantian in Guangzhou, he also felt uneasy. Only by going in person could he be at peace.

Huo Zheqian, touched by these words, remembered the matter of his work; indeed, he couldn’t leave it behind.

Song Chunli looked at Huo Yingjie with gratitude and said, "Yingjie, you and Tiantian are good kids. It was all Aunt’s narrow-mindedness in the past. I hope you don’t hold it against me. Aunt won’t be like that to you anymore."

In fact, over the past few years, Song Chunli had changed a lot.

"Aunt, don’t thank me. We are a family. We can’t just watch as others bully Yingqi," Huo Yingjie said. "I’ve already booked the plane tickets. We’re on the six o’clock flight tonight. When would you like to depart?"

"The sooner, the better," said Song Chunli. She was eager to visit her daughter.

She hoped her daughter could make it through the critical period.

Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo instructed, "Then you should hurry and pack. Yingjie, you go as well. You’ll meet up at the airport later. Once you’re there, don’t forget to call home often, so we also know what’s going on."

"Yes, I will," Huo Yingjie said. "On the way, I’ll take care of Aunt. Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, you can rest assured. I’ll definitely bring Yingqi and Xu Jian back safely."

"Good, we’ll leave this matter in your hands," Old Master Huo nodded, grateful that at this time, Yingjie and Tiantian were concerned about the blood ties and affection of the Huo Family.

Song Chunli hurried off to pack her luggage, as well as some nourishing food for the sick.

Huo Yingjie also returned home to make some brief preparations.

He had already taken leave before because the project had entered a stable phase. With Zhou Yuanchao there, they could ensure the experiment went smoothly, so it was easier for him to take leave.

By evening, Huo Yingjie, Song Chunli, and four security guards boarded a plane, embarking on a journey to Guang City.

Meanwhile, after making a phone call, He Tiantian and Wei Yuanyuan, along with Xu Jian, waited outside the emergency room.

They waited anxiously.

Even though they were hungry, when Zhu Zhitao bought some food, they didn’t eat much.

Cui Ying had gone to report to the police. An hour and a half later, she rushed back, but the emergency room light was still on, and no one had come out yet.

Instead of a doctor’s good news, they were met by Old Lady Xu and her two sons, one in his forties and the other in his thirties.

"Xiao Jian, come here," one of the men barked, looking ready to step forward and hit Xiao Jian if he disobeyed.

Xu Jian shrank back in fear, not daring to raise his head; he was afraid of his dad hitting him.

He Tiantian shielded the child behind her and said, "This is a hospital, let’s talk about everything after the resuscitation is over."

"No way," Old Lady Xu said, "Whether that woman inside is dead or alive, we don’t care; you have to hand over Xiao Jian to us. He is the bloodline of our Xu family."

Ever since Huo Yingqi had been in a car accident, the opposing party had compensated them with a lot of money, but Old Lady Xu did not provide proper treatment for Huo Yingqi. Instead of allowing her to recover, she was pulled back home so they could save up the money for building a big house.

As a result, Huo Yingqi’s leg did not receive proper treatment and became crippled, and she was unable to work.

Old Lady Xu disliked Huo Yingqi even more, and her son, Xu Jian’s dad, Xu Kaifa, upon seeing that Huo Yingqi had become crippled, began an affair with a flirtatious widow and was eager to get a divorce.

Only, Old Lady Xu was worried about a divorce because she feared the daughter-in-law would take their possessions, so she thought of wearing Huo Yingqi down to death slowly.

Knowing that she only had a dead end ahead of her, Huo Yingqi had told her child that the TV champion was his aunt.

But after saying that, Huo Yingqi regretted it; she felt that if she went back, how could she face her parents, grandparents, and her two brothers and their wives? She might as well be dead.

So afterward, no matter how Xu Jian asked, she said nothing more.

Though Old Lady Xu treated her poorly, she was decent to her son. Maybe if she died, her son could have a better life. Usually, it was she who caused her son to be beaten.

He Tiantian sneered and said, "We’ve already done an injury examination for Xu Jian. He has been suffering from long-term abuse. The police will be here soon, and it’s not just about the abuse you did to the adult; it’s also about the child. The police will be sure to have a good talk with you."

When He Tiantian mentioned the police, Old Lady Xu, feeling triumphant, tilted her face up and looked down her nose at He Tiantian, haughtily saying, "Haha, my eldest son, Xu Kaiming, has a lot of connections here; our family isn’t scared at all."

Xu Kaiming stood beside his mother as if to back her up.

He Tiantian sized up Xu Kaiming and said, "Since you work at the police station, you must have some discernment. We are not an ordinary family. This adult and child have already been abused like this. If you hurt me as well, none of your Xu family will get off easily."

"Bullshit," Xu Kaifa cursed, "This is Old Xu family territory. You, a foreigner, still want to bully us locals. You’re really overestimating yourself. Get up now, Xiao Jian, come here. If you don’t, Dad will beat you to death later."

Xu Jian trembled with fear; his dad often hit him until he ached all over.

He Tiantian held Xu Jian tightly and said, "If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will make your life worse than death."
