Chapter 1955: Chapter 439: The Scum Has Been Dealt With [2nd Update]
The confrontation between brothers, on the verge of eruption.
Hua Nuan heard Huo Zun’s words and pursed her lips.
Isn’t it obvious that this Huo Si can’t beat Huo Zun?
Some things don’t need a reason.
Huo Si is far too blindly confident, aiming too high without wanting to work steadily, always thinking about how to soar in one leap.
Therefore, there’s absolute theoretical basis for Huo Si’s defeat.
Hua Nuan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
...
Huo Zun casually glanced at the frenzied man in front of him, narrowed his blue eyes slightly, and spoke nonchalantly: "The reason you can’t beat me is because you have a persecution complex. You blame all your failures on me instead of reflecting on yourself."
Pausing briefly, Huo Zun spoke sarcastically.
"Everything I have today that I worked hard for came after leaving the Huo Family, self-made without ties to others. So, I’ve never taken anything from you nor impeded your path..."
Huo Si: "..."
Hua Nuan looked at Huo Si’s face, momentarily stunned, then kindly reminded him.
"Let me simplify; in essence, it’s a case of ambition exceeding ability, always thinking about others."
Huo Si clenched his fists, heard Huo Si and Hua Nuan, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"I understand... I finally understand."
Huo Si’s eyes shimmered with a touch of wetness, staring straight at Huo Zun, speaking hoarsely.
"Huo Zun...if in this life, we were not brothers, maybe we might have been friends."
Perhaps...there would be such a good elder brother to set an example for him, teach him how to be a good person, and achieve a career.
But sadly...
It’s all too late.
Hua Nuan watched Huo Si laughing and crying in madness.
Couldn’t tell whether the man was crying or laughing.
In fact, all are sacrifices of interests.
Hua Nuan felt a bit uneasy inside, pursed her lips, raised her hand to rub her hair, and then thought of something, looking at Huo Zun’s tense handsome face. Some words might be inconvenient for Huo Zun to say, but she could.
"Officer, hello, I’m his sister-in-law. May I speak to him alone for a couple of words?"
"Of course, Madam Huo."
"Thank you."
Hua Nuan slowly released Huo Zun’s large hand and walked towards Huo Si, when approaching the man, she stood on tiptoe.
"Huo Si, do you know why An Wen committed suicide?"
Huo Si: "..."
Huo Si was already bewildered by Hua Nuan wanting to speak with him.
Now hearing the woman whispering a familiar name, Huo Si’s entire body stiffened dramatically.
He clearly told Hua Nuan it was he who killed An Wen.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zun still revealed the truth to Hua Nuan.
Oh, how ironic.
"Wh...why?"
Huo Si’s voice unconsciously trembled fiercely, vaguely feeling that what Hua Nuan would say next might be astonishing.
Far beyond his expectations.
Hua Nuan gazed at the man’s tall, trembling figure, pursed her lips, and spoke softly: "Because she was pregnant at that time, with your child, yet forced into abortion by your mother, and with your threats and reprimands, she was overwhelmed with grief and anger, thus taking her own life. Over these years, Huo Zun hasn’t held this against you entirely because An Wen begged him to spare you back then. You’ve always misunderstood; actually, the one An Wen loved was you, her and Huo Zun were merely friends, sharing mutual understanding."
Huo Si: "..."
There’s some reason here.
Even someone Hua Nuan’s age could see it clearly and comprehensively, but it didn’t mean Huo Si could achieve that.
Huo Si’s tall body went rigid, looking incredulously at Hua Nuan in front of him, opened his mouth, but unable to utter a single word, could only tremble and say.
"You...what did you say."
"That’s all I have to say, whether you believe it is up to you, officer, I’ve finished speaking."
"Alright, take him away."
"Hua Nuan, clarify your words, it’s impossible...it’s impossible."
Huo Si struggled frantically, but was directly taken away by the officer, leaving no room.
Though his heart echoed impossibility, some scenes in his memory swiftly overlapped.
In memory, losing control after drinking, remembering clearly...a soft jade embraced, upon waking the next day, besides himself his room was empty.
The woman’s screams still echo in his ears.
And...An Wen’s gaze.
The gaze was filled with hope, yet covertly with helplessness, hesitation, and grievance.
...
Huo Zun worried that Huo Si might harm Hua Nuan, quickly extended his large hand to grasp Hua Nuan’s small hand, holding the woman in his embrace protectively.
"Be careful."
"Mm, don’t worry."
Hua Nuan and Huo Zun watched as Huo Si was taken away, shouting incredulously all the way, pursed their lips.
This matter was undoubtedly a huge emotional shock for Huo Si.
After all, the child in An Wen’s womb back then was his.
That innocent woman did nothing wrong yet died unjustly.
Thinking about this, Hua Nuan felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.
Huo Zun, however, raised his hand and tightly held the woman in his arms.
Isabella slumped on the ground afterward, people coming and going around her, almost injuring her by mistake, yet she seemed unaware, muttering to herself.
Now abandoned by two grandchildren.
Even his own little grandson has been imprisoned.
If back then... he hadn’t allowed Huo Si to hand over the management rights of Europe, would it not have led to the current situation?
Thinking about this, Isabella’s eyes welled up again, unable to control her sobs.
Meanwhile, the media quickly captured photos, documenting the moment.
...
Hua Nuan and Huo Zun looked at everything unfolding before them nonchalantly, and Huo Zun pressed his lips together and said, "Let’s go."
"Alright."
Hua Nuan looked at the man’s tense and handsome face and nodded emphatically.
Seeing Hua Nuan and Huo Zun about to leave, the media immediately rushed forward to surround them.
"Mr. Huo, what are your thoughts on today’s victory?"
"Mr. Huo, now that the Huo Family’s stock has hit rock bottom but is expected to surge past the peak tomorrow, are you looking forward to this?"
"Mr. Huo..."
The media was eager to continue, but Huo Zun’s assistant quickly intercepted, signaling the guards to keep the media behind them.
"Friends of the media, at the upcoming press conference, the Huo Family will arrange for a top medical team to explain this new integrated Chinese and Western medicine cancer treatment drug."
"Mr. Huo..."
The media continued to call out Huo Zun’s name, though unwilling, they could only watch as Huo Zun and Hua Nuan departed.
Today’s news was explosive enough.
...
Hua Nuan followed closely behind Huo Zun, and instead of leaving the hospital, they went to the intensive care unit.
It was filled with cancer patients, all using the anti-cancer drugs provided by the Huo Family.
Hua Nuan looked at the man’s captivating handsome face and curled her lips into a smile.
"Why bring me here?"
"I know you’re certainly interested."
With the man’s words hitting straight to her thoughts, Hua Nuan raised her lips, indeed, without needing to say more, the man understood her mind completely.
Hua Nuan nodded solemnly and then smiled softly.
"No one knows me better than Mr. Huo."
Watching the little girl’s cheeky expression, Huo Zun curled his lips and raised his hand to hold the woman’s hand, indicating for her to follow him into the sterile room to change clothes.
Though Hua Nuan was used to entering and exiting the lab, this was her first time in a real ward, she inevitably felt a bit nervous, took a deep breath, and quickly followed Huo Zun.
The two put on isolation gowns and disinfected themselves before entering the sterile ward.
The cancer patients’ ward and the doctors’ lab were connected to control the patients’ conditions promptly.
"Mr. Huo..."
The doctor in charge of research saw Huo Zun and immediately stood up, respectfully greeting him.
"Hmm."
"Who is this?"
"Hello, I’m Hua Nuan."
Hua Nuan wore a mask, smiled brightly, and deeply admired the doctors fighting on the frontline.
"Hello, Madam."
"Madam... Welcome."
The Huo Family’s members had long tied Hua Nuan’s name with Mrs. Huo, and immediately greeted her with respect.
Hua Nuan’s face blushed, heard their words, and whispered, "Thank you, I will study medicine in the future, please guide me, seniors, hello."
After speaking, Hua Nuan seriously bowed to everyone.
Treating it completely like a junior greeting seniors.
Everyone felt warm inside, surprised but deeply honored by Hua Nuan’s gesture.
"Madam, you’re too kind."
...
Huo Zun looked at the girl’s adorable demeanor and smiled, then earnestly inquired about the patient’s condition.
"How is she now?"
"The patient is 26 years old, married, has a 2-year-old daughter, one year ago diagnosed with breast cancer, her husband divorced her due to this, the daughter is currently under her custody, the medication and raising her daughter cost a huge amount, the Huo Family has contacted the hospital to waive 80% of the cost, but even so, for her... life remains difficult."
"Hmm."
"After developing the disease, she experienced multiple complications, severe hair loss, and after taking our new anti-cancer drug, her condition has stabilized."
Hua Nuan stood listening carefully on the side, like an intern student, watching Huo Zun’s earnest demeanor, there was an indescribable charm.
Especially as the man gracefully leafed through the documents with his slender fingers.
It’s often said that women love men who are serious.
She is no exception.
Hua Nuan raised her lip and seriously listened to their conversation.
She never knew that the Huo Family was enthusiastic about charity, reducing 80% of the medical costs for patients.
...
"How are the cancer cells distributed in the body now?"
"They have started to spread."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun’s blue eyes darkened, then seriously said, "Let the patient take the listed herbal medicines I provided, they can have a suppressive effect."
After speaking, Huo Zun handed over the herbal medicine list.
Hua Nuan’s eyes brightened, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
It will definitely have significant therapeutic effects.
