C462 Ecstasy of Sorrow and Joy
When he heard that something had happened to Huo Chenglieh's plane and that his fate was unknown, the old man immediately fell. He knew that the chances of his only son surviving were too slim. No matter how useless Huo Chenglieh was, or how he made him worry, he was still his only son. It was the result of him having a wife.1
Because of the fall of the old man, the entire Huo Family was solemn, and every single one of them were on full alert, fearing that the old man would accidentally fall sick.
When Huo Mingshen returned to the Huo Family, the old man was lying on the bed with a defeated look on his face. The butler stood aside. When he saw Huo Mingshen return, his eyes lit up.
"Mingshen, you're back!" With the help of the butler, the old man struggled to sit up as he called out.
"Grandfather!" Seeing the old man so weak, Huo Mingshen's heart ached. So, he hurriedly walked over and shouted.
"Tell me, can your dad still be alive?" The old man looked at Huo Mingshen and asked quietly.
Hearing that, Huo Mingshen was speechless for a moment. He knew in his heart that the old tutor was extremely smart. How could he not know that very few people had survived the plane crash?
"Grandfather, you know clearly in your heart, the possibility that he's still alive is really …" Although Huo Mingshen couldn't bear it anymore, he still opened his mouth to speak.
The old man had a dejected look on his face. He let out a long sigh and didn't say another word.
Looking at the depressed look on the old man's face, Huo Mingshen suddenly regretted it a little -- If he knew it would be like this, he shouldn't have said those words. Grandfather only asked him this question because he wanted to get some comfort from him. However, what he had said made him sad.
"Grandfather …" Huo Mingshen looked at the old man and helplessly shouted.
"Mingshen, you don't need to say so much. Grandfather knows very well that it is impossible for your father to still be alive. "Sigh …"
The old master sighed and said. In the past, his disappointing son had caused Lin Wan's death in a car accident. Now, it could be said that he was going to take revenge.
Huo Mingshen didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness towards Huo Chenglieh's death. However, he still couldn't bear to see the old man in such a sad state. He sighed lightly and sat there without saying anything.
"Where's Huo Mingyang? His father is in trouble, and I didn't see him call back to ask. " The old man suddenly thought of something and asked Huo Mingshen, who was beside the bed, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
Hearing that, Huo Mingshen's expression became a bit stiff — he didn't know what had happened between Huo Chenglei and Huo Mingyang, but he didn't want to know either. After a moment, he calmly said, "He might be busy with this matter."
In the end, Huo Mingshen still didn't want to make the old man more upset, so he could only disobey and say that.
The old man nodded. Looking at Huo Mingshen's expression, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent. Now that something had happened to Chenglieh and all his property was going to be Huo Mingyang's, he didn't even have time to be happy. Where would he have time to mourn his dead father? Moreover, Huo Mingyang and Mingshen had always hated each other, and now that Mingshen had volunteered to speak for Huo Mingyang, how could he not guess, Mingshen said, just to make him feel better?
The old man's face began to show a hint of weariness, and his eyelids began to twitch. It turned out that after he received the news of Huo Chenglieh's plane crash, he was so emotional that he almost fainted. The butler hastily called the old man's personal doctor over and gave him a tranquilizer. Now, the sedative finally began to take effect and the old man began to feel sleepy.
Seeing that, Huo Mingshen said in a timely manner: "Grandfather, since you are tired, then you should take a rest - I'll send someone to take care of Dad. Even if it's his corpse, I will send people to find it! "
At the sound of Huo Mingshen's "Dad," the old man's face finally warmed a little — at least, Mingshen forgave his worthless son.
"Well, I'll take a rest first — you take care of your father too, don't let Huo Mingyang get any benefits out of it." The old man looked at Huo Mingshen and slowly said.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Huo Mingshen said seriously.
The old man nodded and quickly fell asleep.
