Chapter 338: Conflict (4)_1
"Oh?" Huo Jinnan snorted lightly, "Is it me getting a wife or you?"
Huo Qichang’s face turned red, and he was so choked up that he couldn’t speak for a long time.
Che Huan sat there, suddenly feeling everyone’s gaze turn towards her, as if needles on her back, making her extremely uncomfortable, as if she was the perpetrator who had triggered Madam Huo’s acute rejection reaction.
Huo Jinnan turned to look at Che Huan, his voice much gentler, "It has nothing to do with you, don’t think too much, some people just like to shift their responsibilities onto others."
Che Huan thought of Madam Huo’s actions in the hospital room; she probably didn’t dislike her, right?
So, it wasn’t because of her?
Soon, she bit her lip, realizing such self-comfort was futile; after all, it was because of her, if she hadn’t gone to get the marriage certificate with Huo Jinnan today, perhaps Madam Huo wouldn’t have had this accident.
She had thought that today she would get the marriage certificate and meet his daughter, but she hadn’t expected such an outcome...
What would they think of her daughter when they learned about her existence?
If that were the case, she would rather they didn’t know about the child at all!
With that in mind, she stood up, looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction, glanced at him once, her gaze falling on Huo Jinxue and Huo Jinbei beside him, "I’m sorry, I have to go."
Huo Jinxue glared at Huo Qichang, astounded that it was all because the second brother refused to marry Gu Yunqing, the woman they had chosen?
She turned to Che Huan, "Second sister-in-law, don’t go!"
Second sister-in-law?
At this address, Che Huan suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Huo Jinxue, her face blushing slightly.
Huo Jinxue walked over and took Che Huan’s arm, "Second sister-in-law, you’re not familiar with my family’s situation, this really has nothing to do with you. Don’t give up on my second brother just because of someone else’s words, you have Xiaowei."
Che Huan didn’t immediately understand the meaning behind Huo Jinxue’s last remark; what did she mean by them having Xiaowei?
Could it be that his sister thought Xiaowei was her child with Huo Jinnan?
She looked at Huo Jinxue.
Huo Jinxue, thinking of how difficult these past years had been for her second brother and how Xiaowei had once been mistaken for Gu Yunqing’s child, felt sure that something had happened between them!
She glanced in the direction of Huo Jinyun and Gu Jizhou, her disdain deepening.
She suspected that this incident must have something to do with them, desperately trying to push Gu Yunqing onto her second brother!
If it weren’t for that, how could her mother have suddenly suffered an acute rejection reaction last night?
With this in mind, Huo Jinxue glared hatefully in the direction of Huo Jinyun and her son, "Even if they all don’t accept you, I recognize you! My mom would definitely support my second brother! Some people should just give up; all their scheming, stealing someone else’s child, constant lies, presenting themselves only to be thrown out by my second brother, still shamelessly hoping to marry him, dreaming!"
Huo Jinyun stood there, her complexion very ugly, knowing that Axue had always disliked her, but this was the first time she had been openly scolded like this!
Gu Jizhou sat beside her, silent, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
The old master sighed, closing his eyes and swallowing hard, never having expected the day to turn out like this!
Huo Qichang looked at Huo Jinxue, "Axue! What are you saying?"
Huo Jinxue couldn’t help but shout at Huo Qichang, "What’s wrong? Did I say anything incorrect? I think you consider Huo Jinyun and her son your own flesh and blood, while my second brother, third brother, and even my eldest brother, who died in unclear circumstances, are all adopted. From now on, you and your family can get along well on your own. My brothers, my mother, and I will stick together without interfering with each other!"
