Eye of Sin

Chapter 639 Blood is thicker than water

The day before, Ning Shuyi heard from Mr. Xing when she was chatting with Huo Yan at the health care center that Huo Yan's second uncle Xing Houde had also been married twice. The first marriage ended in less than two years due to incompatibility of personalities, and the second marriage lasted for ten years but eventually ended in failure.

The women in the two marriages were different in character and age, and the problems they encountered in getting along with Xing Houde were also different, but the same thing was that neither marriage left any children.

After that, Xing Houde never remarried. People outside said that he had fertility problems, but he denied it when Xing Zongda asked him about it, and he was not in the mood to remarry. Over time, Xing Zongda was too lazy to ask about it and just let him do what he wanted.

So when Xing Houde heard his father call a couple of similar age to him "relatives", he was obviously confused.

"Shut up and don't say I'm stupid anymore!" Xing Zongda was already angry, but he suppressed it because Huo Yan was found. Now Xing Houde mentioned his stupidity again, and he got annoyed. He took out a stack of medical reports from his pocket and slapped them in front of Xing Houde, "Open your eyes and see if I, your father, am stupid or not!

After the hospital checked me out, they said I was fine and had no signs of Alzheimer's disease at all!"

Xing Houde was stunned, glanced at the medical report on the table, and without even reading it carefully, he smiled flatteringly: "Dad, it would be a great joy if nothing happened. That's great. I'll ask the driver to pick you up after dinner!"

"No hurry." Xing Zongda waved his hand and pointed to the other side of the table. "Look, do you recognize him?"

Xing Houde looked in the direction his father was pointing and happened to see Huo Yan sitting there.

When he entered just now, Huo Yan was sitting with his back to the entrance, and his attention was always on Mr. Xing, so he didn't pay attention to the other person's appearance. Only now did he turn his attention to the other side of the table for the first time.

When he saw Huo Yan's appearance clearly, Xing Houde was obviously stunned.

"He...he..." He stared at Huo Yan's face, forgetting to look away for a moment, and forgetting to consider whether such an action would appear rude.

Huo Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

Xing Houde has a face that is not very similar to Huo Yan's father Xing Houren. Xing Houren looks more like his mother, while Xing Houde is about 60% similar to Xing Zongta.

Although they look very similar, his temperament and eyes are very different from Xing Zongta.

"Come, Xiaoyan, let me introduce you." Xing Zongda waved his hand at Huo Yan, "This is your second uncle. I haven't seen him for so many years. I guess you are not used to it. Take your time. Don't force yourself to say hello or anything like that."

Then he said to Xing Houde: "This is Huo Yan, my grandson, your eldest brother's son, your nephew, I have found him."

Xing Houde's expression looked a little strange, as if he was a little nervous but trying to appear relaxed.

"Dad, you're right, this child looks a lot like my brother." He finally came to his senses and turned his eyes away from Huo Yan. "I know you're old now and you long for grandchildren. This child does look a lot like my brother. It's normal for you to feel close to him after seeing him... but... you can't recognize random relatives. It's not good for everyone..." Father Ning and Mother Ning exchanged glances and were a little surprised by Xing Houde's reaction.

Although Huo Yan is actually a child of the Xing family in terms of blood relationship, they have not seen each other for thirty years after all. Although they are happy for Huo Yan, deep down they still feel that they are more familiar and closer to Huo Yan, and treat him as their own child.

Now this uncle from the Xing family didn't even try to inquire about the whole cause and effect. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to treat Huo Yan as a malicious person who wanted to take advantage of the old man's longing. The implication of his words made Ning's father and mother feel a little uncomfortable.

However, this is someone else's private matter. It's the first time they meet, so it's not appropriate to talk about it casually at this time.

Xing Zongda snorted, and slammed the appraisal report that he had not hurriedly taken out on the table: "Look for yourself."

This time, Xing Houde actually picked it up and read it carefully for a long time. He even stayed on the results page for a long enough time to read the little content on the paper over and over again.

As he read the appraisal reports over and over again, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan quietly observed the expression on his face.

"boom--!"

Xing Houde suddenly slammed the appraisal report in his hand on the table, causing the plates and glasses in front of him to clatter.

"That's too much!" He clenched his fists, looking furious. "How could those people so hastily conclude that my brother and his family of three are gone!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Xing Houde's slightly flushed face slowly returned to normal. He pushed the appraisal report aside, stood up, walked to Huo Yan, and took his hand: "My child, it's so good to see you again! Knowing that you are still alive in this world is really the most comforting thing for your uncle!

It was all my uncle's fault back then. I didn't check carefully before I came to that conclusion. I just believed it. Didn't I make you suffer so much? !

Fortunately, God has a good vision and let our family find you again. From now on, we uncle and nephew must communicate well with each other and communicate with each other! Uncle must make up for the wrongs you have suffered over the years! "

As he spoke, Xing Houde's eyes gradually became moist, and his voice sounded nasal, and he was even a little choked up. As he spoke, he bent down and wanted to hug Huo Yan.

Huo Yan pulled out his hand, pushed Xing Houde's shoulder, and pushed him away from him.

"I'm sorry, we're not familiar with each other. I'm not used to getting so close to people I don't know well." Huo Yan glanced at him coldly and spoke to him, his tone sounding devoid of any emotion.

Xing Houde was slightly startled, and quickly took two steps back, then smiled at Huo Yan in a flattering manner: "Okay, okay, it's my fault for being so presumptuous!

I was just thinking that after so many years, my brother's child was actually alive and was found. I couldn't help but feel excited. I forgot that we had no contact in the past 30 years. Maybe emotionally, you see me as no different from a stranger... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Blood is thicker than water. We can take it slow!"
