Huo Shaoting was downstairs, looking at the old lady and Sheng Yunxia. When no one said anything, Huo Zhengkun came down from upstairs. He looked at the people who came in and said, "Go and see your children and wife."
Huo Shaoting didn't show much reaction and just said: "The butler has sent the photo to me."
Huo Zhengkun didn't look very happy either. He had always maintained a neutral attitude toward the eldest daughter of the Li family. After all, men didn't have as many twists and turns as women. Whoever became his daughter-in-law was pretty much the same.
Therefore, his wife Sheng Yunxia was always in the way. He also knew that Shao Ting had a tense relationship with his mother because of the eldest daughter of the Li family.
In the past, he didn't care about everything between their mother and son, but now it was different. With a wife and children, it would be inappropriate to be so close to the eldest daughter of the Li family.
Huo Zhengkun said: "What do you think after watching it?"
Sheng Yunxia sat on the sofa and looked at it with a sneer on her lips.
Huo Shaoting didn't answer.
Huo Zhengkun added: "Isn't there the Li family over there? Since you have broken up and terminated the relationship, the things over there have nothing to do with you. You still have to put your wife and daughter first."
"You don't need to say more, I have my own rules for my own affairs."
Huo Shaoting spoke coldly.
These words made Huo Zhengkun choke on all his words. He looked at his son for a long time.
Sheng Yunxia picked up the coffee cup from the table and said, "What does it mean to be measured? My wife was injured, and you took care of another woman for so long. How do you call it measured?"
"Isn't this sense of proportion normal in our family?"
Such words made Sheng Yunxia's face completely choked up and she stopped drinking coffee.
The old lady looked at this scene and said hurriedly: "It's a good day, what nonsense are you talking about? Shao Ting must have been busy with other things these days. It's understandable that he didn't take time off. Come up and take a look. Look at Qiqi and the child."
Huo Shaoting looked away and said to Huo Zhengkun who was standing at the top of the stairs: "Then I'll go up."
Huo Zhengkun's face was stunned for a long time, and his expression was serious: "Go ahead."
Sheng Yunxia stared at Huo Zhengkun and said: "This is indeed our family's tradition. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. As a representative, now I am not qualified to deal with such things."
Huo Zhengkun looked at Sheng Yunxia again.
The old lady felt that the flames of war were about to spread, and immediately grabbed Sheng Yunxia's hand: "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense to me here."
Huo Zhengkun frowned and said four words to Sheng Yunxia: "Unreasonable."
He ignored her.
Sheng Yunxia snorted coldly, with a bit of coldness in her eyes.
Huo Shaoting didn't care what happened to his father Huo Zhengkun and his mother Sheng Yunxia. He just walked towards the bedroom.
Qiqi was still a little nervous after hearing Huo Shaoting's return. She sat by the bed without moving, and her ears were always listening to the movements outside. When the footsteps gradually left the room where she was, As the room approached, Huo Shaoting finally entered the room.
The servant who was squatting next to Qi Qi and applying medicated oil to her feet immediately stood up and called to the person who came through the door: "Sir."
Qiqi, who was sitting by the bed, also looked at him immediately.
Huo Shaoting stopped at the door and looked at her. Everyone spoke and looked at each other.
Seeing this, the servant walked out quietly. After the servant went out, Qiqi lowered her head.
Huo Shaoting asked: "Have you had a prenatal check-up today?"
Qiqi said: "I did it."
Just two words.
Huo Shaoting walked towards her and said, "I saw the photo."
He said as he took off his coat.
Qiqi wanted to hear what he said after seeing the photo, but after he said this, he had nothing to say anymore. After taking off his coat, he only said: "I still have work to do in the evening, you can rest."
Then, he walked towards the closet in the cloakroom, but when he opened the door, he saw a pile of gifts in the closet.
Qiqi immediately said: "It's something sent by relatives of the Huo family today."
Huo Shaoting stared at the things in the closet for a long time, with a dull expression. He took a piece of clothing from the closet and said he was going to the study.
Qiqi asked: "How is sister?"
She didn't look up at him, only looked down at her feet.
Huo Shaoting stopped when he heard her words, then turned to look at her: "Well, it's just stable for the time being."
Qiqi didn't speak any more.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Huo Shaoting left the room and went to the study.
The servant who was standing at the door had not had time to go downstairs. He did not expect that the person who came back would come out of the bedroom and go to the study so quickly.
The servant was a little dumbfounded.
Qiqi closed her eyes and pressed her legs tightly together.
The old lady and Sheng Yunxia were still downstairs, looking upstairs. Sheng Yunxia looked stiff, and the old lady didn't look much better either.
Qiqi sat alone under the light in the room, motionless and unusually quiet. Even the servants watching outside felt extremely pitiful and didn't understand why Mr. Huo treated Miss Qiqi like this.
She was just a little girl.
Huo Shaoting did not return to the bedroom that night. The servant waited outside the door until almost one o'clock. After seeing that the lights in the study were out, he quietly entered the bedroom next to the study and turned off the lights in the bedroom.
Qiqi was already asleep, with her body facing the servant. The servant went to the bedside to turn off the lamp quietly.
As soon as the lights went out and the whole room fell into darkness, Qiqi opened her eyes in the darkness, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
The servant didn't notice, thinking she was asleep and left her.
The next morning, everyone in the Huo family sat at the dining table to eat, including Qiqi, who had an injured foot, sitting next to Huo Shaoting.
The old lady looked at Qiqi's pale face, sighed in her heart, and frowned twice.
Sheng Yunxia asked the servant to place high-protein food in front of Qi Qi, and then looked at Huo Shaoting: "What? The study room where you came back to sleep?"
Huo Shaoting took a spoon in his hand and took a spoonful of porridge in the bowl and said, "I worked very late last night, so I didn't go back to the bedroom to rest."
He took a mouthful of porridge, his face was calm and indifferent, and he didn't care at all about Sheng Yunxia's words or expression.
Sheng Yunxia said: "Really? When did you become so casual about your resting place?"
The old lady was deeply afraid of another war, so she said, "Shao Ting, Qiqi is four months old now. You should take more care of her. She is young and has no sense of security."
When Huo Shaoting heard what the old lady said, he didn't take it personally towards Sheng Yunxia. He just whispered, "Yeah, I know."
There was no ups and downs in his tone, as if he was answering casually.
Then, Huo Shaoting used chopsticks to put a piece of meat on Qiqi's plate and said two words: "Eat it."
