C473 Thick-skinned Skin
Huo Mingyang looked at the news on the TV and on his cellphone with a livid expression — This damnable Huo Mingshen was really haunting! Previously, even though Jing Sung still hated Huo Mingshen for deceiving her, she had already felt pressured. Now, if the two of them were to get back together, he would have no chance of winning.
"Ahh!" Huo Mingyang angrily flung all the items in his hands onto the ground. Looking at the mess, he still couldn't calm himself. He kicked it a few more times before angrily sitting down. Why? Why did God do this to him? Father, mother, Huo Family … He had nothing left now. Even Jing Sung was about to be snatched away by that damnable Huo Mingshen. "No, he must not let Huo Mingshen have the chance to snatch Jing Sung from his hands!
… ….
Inside the Soong Family Great House, Soong Shiyan sat upright and upright. She looked at the old man opposite her and spoke with some hesitation, "Old man …"
Early that morning, the housekeeper rushed to Soong Shiyan's side, saying that someone had come to visit.
When she heard that the person who had come was the old gramps, Soong Shiyan was slightly surprised — they hadn't been in contact since the last time they parted with the old gramps. Now that the old gramps had suddenly come to the Soong Family palace, she didn't know how to react in that short amount of time. She stared blankly at the spot for a while before finally regaining her senses. She said to the housekeeper, "You just get someone to invite the old gramps in and arrange for him to be placed in the parlour."
With that, she hurriedly returned to her bedroom and changed into a fresh set of clothes – it was not polite to see the old man in casual attire, after all.
The old man could see Soong Shiyan's formality, so he smiled and said, "You came uninvited. It was my elder who did not respect me. Girl, don't forgive me."
"Old Master, where did you say that you were able to come here? This is also my good fortune." Soong Shiyan smiled.
"Girl, I still want to hear you call me grandpa." The old man looked at Soong Shiyan as he spoke faintly.
The old man had helped her a lot, if he hadn't helped her, how could she have taken back the Soong Family so easily? Although he didn't know what the old tutor's purpose for coming here was, it was natural to call him "grandfather". With that in mind, Soong Shiyan didn't hesitate to call out with a smile, "Grandpa …"
"Little girl, you must be wondering in your heart, why did I suddenly come here? As the saying goes, one does not visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Thus, it is true that I have something to tell you today. " The old man sighed and spoke faintly.
"Please speak." After Soong Shiyan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to fill the teacup in front of the old man.
"I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Soong Shiyan, nor do I know where you actually came from — undeniably, at the beginning, I didn't want you to be with Mingshen because I was worried that you might have some plans towards Huo Family. "Later on, I was more worried that you did not have any feelings for Mingshen. Mingshen had a wishful thinking about everything and the one who would get injured in the end would only be him …" The old man said slowly.
Soong Shiyan sat there, not saying anything. It was hard to tell what her attitude was. It was only natural for the old tutor to be worried. She couldn't say that something was wrong with him.
"But, for you, Mingshen is willing to give up on his Huo Family, and give up on the family business that I worked so hard to protect. And now, I also know that you are truly sincere to Mingshen — Whatever, no matter who you are, no matter what sort of past you have, I will not interfere in the matter between you and Mingshen anymore. " The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and slowly spoke of his purpose in coming here.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan was slightly caught unprepared. He hadn't thought that the old tutor had come specifically to say these words.
"Grandpa, I didn't treat Huo Mingshen like the others thought …" Soong Shiyan said hesitantly. Everyone thought she liked him, but she didn't seem to be what they thought she was. What she liked was the old mushrooms, not the current Huo Mingshen!
"Girl, sometimes, you love to be the center of attention — whether it's Mingshen on Gaoshun Island or the current Mingshen, he's him." The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and said leisurely.
"I …" Soong Shiyan was at a loss as to what to do when she saw that the old man had actually guessed what she was thinking and what she was thinking.
"I know, you are stubborn, stubborn, and you will definitely hate Mingshen for lying to you. However, he had his reasons for doing all these … If it wasn't for you, how could he have gone to England after regaining consciousness? And the reason he never showed up was because I — I told him that if he dared to return without my permission, I would make it impossible for him to see you for the rest of his life. As you know, I have the ability to keep my word. " The old man said with a look of shame.
Soong Shiyan's expression did not change when she heard that, but her heart was already in turmoil — — What did Huo Mingshen do to make the old man abandon his dignity as a senior and speak to her in a humble tone?
"I …" Looking at the benevolent expression on the old man's face, Soong Shiyan was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Girl, what grandpa said to you today isn't that you must be together with Mingshen — grandpa only hopes that if you fall in love with Mingshen, you will forget everything that grandpa said to you before." The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and said shamelessly.
Seeing the old man like this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but nod her head. She really didn't know what to say.
When the old man saw Soong Shiyan's expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
During this time, because of Huo Chenglieh's death, his body became weaker and weaker day by day. For days he dreamed of his long-dead wife. She said that she was lonely and wished he would go with her earlier. The older generation had always been a little superstitious. Therefore, he always had a feeling that he might die soon.
And now, with the death of Huo Chenglieh, the only person he could not let go of in the entire Huo Family was Huo Mingshen. What troubled him the most about Huo Mingshen was his relationship with Soong Shiyan. In order to prevent Huo Mingshen from being unable to recover after his death, he came to see Soong Shiyan with a straight face.
The old tutor coughed a few times before calming down.
Hearing the old tutor's cough, Soong Shiyan noticed that the old tutor's expression was a bit unsightly. In the past, he had always been vigorous and energetic, and his entire body radiated a healthy aura. But now, the old tutor didn't seem too optimistic.
"Grandfather, what's wrong?" I can see that you don't look too good. Are you feeling well? " Soong Shiyan looked at the old man with a worried expression.0
Seeing Soong Shiyan ask about him, the old man decided to not hide it from her and told her everything about him, "... Girl, in this world, the only thing that I cannot let go of is Mingshen — — Now, grandfather will put down his old face and tell you, no matter how you feel about Mingshen, grandfather, please, after I die, you have to take good care of my pitiful child, Mingshen. "
How could Soong Shiyan say no when she saw the old tutor's expression? She nodded and said to the old man, "Grandfather, don't worry. I promise you — the most important thing right now is for you to take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, only Huo Mingshen will be left."
Seeing Soong Shiyan's worried expression and hearing her promise, the old tutor's heart finally felt at ease.
