Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes and stared at Lan Qian with a smile that was not a smile. He did not say a word, but that rippling expression on his face gave his answer.
Lan Qian gasped, he had almost fainted from the shock of the answer. He pointed his wrinkled forefinger at Huo Yaoting, and only after a long while did he grind his teeth and spit out a sentence, "Are you even human!? Xiao Xi is only twenty years old!"
His age was like a flower, how cheap was it for this brat!
Huo Yaoting smiled, "Uncle Lan, your granddaughter is nineteen, and you already couldn't wait to give it to me. Your granddaughter is already twenty, and yet you still feel sorry for your granddaughter. Can I assume that this granddaughter is more important to you than your granddaughter? "
"Don't sow discord. I gave Shan Shan to you to first familiarize you with the relationship, but did not say that I would let Shan Shan marry you now. For my granddaughter to be with me is equally important, and even I feel pain! " Lan Qian puffed his beard and glared as he said.
Huo Yaoting curled his lips and laughed, but did not refute him.
Lan Qian calmed the shock in his heart, and stared at Huo Yaoting sternly. "Yaoting, tell me the truth, did you already know that Xiao Xi is my granddaughter?"
Huo Yaoting looked at him and replied, "Mhm."
With anger in his heart, Lan Qian held onto his walking stick tightly: "How early?"
Huo Yaoting bit his lower lip, "Eight years ago."
"What?!"
Lan Qian was completely shocked and furious, "Eight years ago? You already knew of Xiao Xi's whereabouts eight years ago, and you only told me about it now? "
"Uncle Lan, you speak reason. You asked me to find your daughter for you after you returned home. In the past twenty years, you have never tried to find your daughter before the four of us. " In the face of Lan Qian's anger, Huo Yaoting remained indifferent.
"?" Lan Qian choked on his words, guilt could be seen on his face as he stared at Huo Yaoting for a long time. Finally, he dejectedly lowered his head and said, "I just started migrating to Canada, and Mommy Shan Shan is pregnant, so my body is not well. I have my all on how to let Mommy Shan Shan and Mother Shan Shan be safe.
When Shan Shan came into the world, her mother was in even worse health. I wanted to take care of Shan Shan and her mother, and even though I regretted trying so hard to drive them away, whenever I saw her in bed with poor Shan Shan, I could only put an end to this regret and not think about my poor daughter.
And then, after Mama Shan's death, all my mind was on Shan Shan. I was afraid of Shan Shan's accident, afraid of Shan Shan's illness, afraid of Shan Shan's inferiority, afraid of Shan Shan's asking me for my parents.
All these years, I have given all my love and love to Shan Shan. "As I watched her grow into a beautiful little girl day by day, I started to explain to Lan Huan and Shan Shan's mother. At the same time, I was also trying to atone for my daughter's sins ?"
Lan Qian's desolate and sorrowful voice was heavy and depressing. It also carried a deep helplessness, as well as his responsibility and promise to those who died.
It was not that Huo Yaoting did not understand why Lan Qian had to do this. On the contrary, he had seen the hardships that he had gone through all these years.
In Canada, even if there was a servant taking care of Lan Shan, he would still do everything personally for fear that Lan Shan would have an accident.
Adding on the shadow of Lan Huan's tragic death, as well as the fact that his loved ones were either dead or ru
ing away, he was even more afraid that he would not be able to hold onto his only mental support.
And what he did not expect was that Lan Qian had taken care of Lan Shan so well, and part of the reason was for Lan to atone for his sins!
As a father, Lan Qian's love for Lan could be said to be as heavy as a mountain.
A trace of indiscernible gloom flashed through Huo Yaoting's eyes.
His parents' love was the easiest love in the world. Everyone around him received it, but he didn't ?
However, luckily, he ? I don't care!
A cold smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth. Huo Yaoting raised his head to look at Lan Qian, "Uncle Lan, it's not too late for the two of you to meet now.
Lan Qian shook his head and laughed, his face revealing a trace of hope.
Huo Yaoting raised his eyebrows, seeing that the carriage had stopped in front of Lan's Mansion, he got up and personally opened the car door for Lan Qian.
Lan Qian looked at his hands and smiled. Forget it, no matter if it was his granddaughter or his granddaughter, this outstanding man was still a member of their family.
Lan Qian placed his hand on Huo Yaoting's hand, and Huo Yaoting helped him off the carriage, "Uncle Lan, it's getting late, rest."
Lan Qian smiled benevolently, "Kid, you must treat my good granddaughter well, otherwise I will break your legs!"
"I can't bear to." When it came to Ye Xi, one would always be able to see a sense of satisfaction and happiness in Huo Yaoting's face or in his eyes that was similar to a broken star.
Couldn't bear to part with it?
Lan Qian was startled, and immediately understood.
What this brat wanted to say was that he couldn't bear to part with his good granddaughter!
Lan Qian laughed, and then used his walking stick to walk towards Lan's Mansion.
Seeing Lan Qian walk into the Lan's Mansion s, Huo Yaoting's eyebrows sank, but he did not leave in a hurry.
Instead, he took a pack of cigarettes and a fire engine from his trouser pocket, leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and put it between his thin red lips.
He didn't expect that Ye Xi would also be present when he brought Lan Qian to the Ye Family Apartment today ? This was beyond his expectations. At the same time, to a certain extent, it had disrupted his original plan.
The little girl was already suspicious, if he was only the CEO of Huo's, then it would be fine ?
Huo Yaoting suddenly took in a deep breath of smoke. A pile of grayish-white smoke was exhaled from between his nose and his red lips, and the smoke spread in the air for a long time without dispersing.
Ye Family Apartment.
Ye Xi could feel the joy in this moment of blue. This kind of happiness was something she had never felt from her body in all these years.
Because right now, she was blabbering on and on about the interesting things that happened between her and her grandfather when she was a child.
"Xiao Xi, don't look at how your grandpa is already in his seventies, he's still a little kid. He's especially childish. "Because your grandfather and I, as well as your uncle, often bicker and quarrel, and often get scolded by your grandmother as being disrespectful ?" Tears came to her blue eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Xi frowned, and hugged her gently, "Mom, you cried too much today, tomorrow your eyes will be very uncomfortable, don't cry."
"Mom is happy." Lan smiled and hugged Ye Xi back.
Ye Xi curled her lips, closed her eyes and nestled into her blue embrace, but her thoughts had already flown to someone who had gone to send Lan Qian off.
"Xiao Xi, are you thinking about Yaoting?" Lan lowered his head, and looked at Ye Xi gently.
Ye Xi opened his eyes, his clear and big eyes stared fixedly at Lan for a long while, before he opened his mouth again, "Mom, you liked the matter of Grandfather's calligraphy and painting, did you tell anyone else?"
