Qing Benqingchen

Chapter 44 It's just a shield (1)
Seeing the scene of her smiling like a flower standing with Mrs. Yu on the news, and listening to Mrs. Yu's seemingly knowing and joyful but secretly pressing words, he just felt his heart sinking into a bottomless abyss.

But at that time, although he was disappointed and doubtful, he was still worried about her safety.

At that time, Huo Lianxuan was extremely arrogant, and her grandfather had just been diagnosed with a heart disease for a while, if her pregnancy got out, it might make Huo Lianxuan's mother and son restless, and it would immediately bring hidden dangers to her.

So he hastily arranged his studies abroad and prepared to return to China, but the bad news had already come one step ahead.

The child was gone, she was bleeding heavily and unconscious, and there was a deep scar on her right wrist that almost opened the flesh, and she almost failed to rescue it.

It was the most difficult time in his life. He had to worry about her in the intensive care unit, but also faced Huo Lianxuan's provocation and the trouble of finding out the truth. Grandpa was ill, Jingyun was young, he was studying, and he hadn't Entering Bo'ao, there is no foundation in Huo's family, everything is chaotic and he has no clue, but within half a month, he has lost more than ten catties.

What made him feel the most tired was that the Yu family did not lend a helping hand at such a moment, not to mention those people headed by Mrs. Yu, who angrily kept accusing him of negligence and irresponsibility in front of the media and the Huo family cold-blooded and ruthless.

After she woke up, he made a request to get married immediately, but the members of the Yu family flatly refused, and then took her abroad to force them to break up—perhaps in the eyes of the members of the Yu family, he, the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family, was really It was too useless to be the son-in-law of their Yu family, so when he proposed marriage, Mrs. Yu looked at him with a sneer: "Marry? Is Huo Shao wanting me to send a white-haired man to a black-haired one?"

He will never forget the way Mrs. Yu looked at him, and the words she said with a half-smile before leaving: "At first, we thought that we would be blessed to find a good man, but now it seems that Young Master Huo probably doesn't even care about his illegitimate son's younger brother." It's not as good as it."

That's right, at that time, he was just a dull young man who lost his mother. The father who was in the prime of life and had the right to speak in the Huo family loved the concubine younger brother, and the only one who valued and loved him was his grandfather, who fell ill in bed, Probably everyone was waiting, waiting for the old man to go, he was kicked out of the Huo family like a bereaved dog, waiting for Huo Lianxuan's illegitimate son to trample him underfoot, so even his beloved woman's Mother can also ruthlessly ravage him when he is most painful and helpless.ravaged his self-esteem...

Not long after the matter calmed down, grandpa’s operation was successful, and he could probably sleep peacefully in the next few years. He continued to study abroad, and the first thing grandpa did after he recovered from his illness was to hand over the Boao shares held by his mother during his lifetime to him. Then, for the first time, he publicly announced on the board of directors that he—Huo Jingchen, the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family, would be the only heir candidate. He gritted his teeth to learn and do it. Not only did he have to face the doubts and difficulties of the veteran elders in the company who were eyeing him, but he also faced the embarrassment of having no experience and almost knowing nothing about the company's affairs, but he survived step by step. In the past, even a little success has been achieved...

And during this period, for nearly two years, there was no slightest contact between him and Yu Nuanxin. He also calmed down and accepted the fact of the breakup. He only occasionally thought of her during the interval of heavy work, but he still felt the same in his heart. With guilt.

So later, she went on a hunger strike to protest, forced her parents to compromise, left Seattle alone, and contacted him again through Jingyun, and he agreed to her request to get back together without much consideration.

In his heart, he has always regarded her as his own responsibility. No matter what her original intention was, it was because of the Huo family. Because of him, she lost her right hand, lost her child, and almost lost her life.

Therefore, no matter what, he would not ignore her.

These past events permeated his heart little by little, but there were large blank spaces in his heart.

Thinking that when he first decided to find someone to marry, he really had the intention of protecting her, and thinking that after he heard the news of Nuan Xin's pregnancy, that thought also flashed in his mind, but in the end, he still couldn't do it to hurt Qingqing, Also, the child who had nothing to do with them...

He smiled bitterly, but his voice had become extremely gentle: "I married her to protect you. As for the child in her belly..."

He fell silent suddenly, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely dull: "It's just because you are pregnant that you want him to be a shield."

"But... that is your child after all..."

Yu Nuanxin just felt her heart beating wildly, she never expected that he would say such words...

Shield...is it really that simple?But she couldn't believe it in her heart. He didn't feel bad for Shen Qingqing's child.

"Jingchen, are you heartbroken?"

There was a slight wry smile on Huo Jingchen's lips, but his voice was still flat and unremarkable: "It's just an unformed child, it's nothing."

He didn't want Nuanxin to know his true thoughts. Since he decided to divorce Qingqing, he would take all the responsibilities that should be borne. Yu Nuanxin wanted to hear what he had to say, so he said what he said. She was satisfied. , I will never trouble her again.

For example, what she did to Qingqing behind his back before, although he didn't know what it was and was not prepared to pursue it again, but he didn't want it to happen again.

If he couldn't give her a stable future, then he would give her a carefree new life.

In the end, Yu Nuanxin couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth. She quietly pushed the mobile phone in her hand to the pillow behind her, then leaned over, hugged his arm and pressed it against him: "Don't be sad. , isn’t our baby all right? He’s going to be very cute and healthy…”

"Yes, he will be born healthy."

His voice was a little mechanical, and his thoughts were drifting away, but Yu Nuanxin was intoxicated in the beautiful wandering about the future, but he didn't notice it at all.

He and Yu Nuanxin's child lived well, but he and Qingqing never expected him to be born again.

There was no joy in his heart, it was full of unspeakable bitterness.

Perhaps from now on, no one will know what he cares about.

Including this, the person he thought knew him best probably wouldn't know either.

After the matter of Huo Lianxuan's mother and son was settled, the old man was in a bad mood after all, and fell ill again.

He was already 75 years old. Although the heart surgery a few years ago allowed him to regain some health, he was still not as good as before.

Although this illness is not serious, it is still lingering and recurring, and it is difficult to recover.

Even the old doctor who has been in Huo's family for decades said that the old man's body is on the verge of exhaustion, and the situation is really not good.

For the old man's illness, Huo Lianxuan's faction, which had died down, was a little ready to move. Huo Jingchen was worried about the grandfather in the hospital, and at the same time he was going to take charge of the overall situation in Bo'ao, but within two days, his eye sockets were dark blue.

When something like this happened, Qingqing couldn't say anything about the divorce for the time being.

What's more, with Huo Jingchen's background, when they got married, she didn't even enter the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Everything was arranged properly, and she just kept the two little red books.

Now, after all, there are still many things to deal with, such as the cards that Huo Jingchen gave her before, a large amount of cash, and the betrothal gift to the Shen family back then, and...

Those shares in her hand, and the dowry left by her grandma.

She wouldn't want any of them, but she had to make a clear settlement. Now that her grandfather is ill, she can only wait for now.

She and Huo Jingchen's new home, she went back a few days ago, but packed some underwear and toiletries. After all, she will live in the old house during this time, and Huo Jingchen probably still lives in the new home, so, she I thought, it would be better for them to avoid all the possibility of meeting for the time being——

She was afraid that once they met, her determination would be shaken a little. Finally, she persuaded herself, and he agreed to the divorce.

She doesn't want any more mishaps.

Sitting alone in the small pavilion where she was drawing and writing that day, Qingqing suddenly heard the crisp sound of stepping on a dead branch, she was startled, and turned her head suddenly.

But he saw him standing under the plum tree not far away.

I don't know how long he stood there, there was already a thin layer of snow on his shoulders and hair.

He lost a lot of weight, and he looked a bit lonely, and the expression on that face was fragile and desolate that she had never seen before.

She suddenly remembered that meeting during the New Year, it seemed to be the same scene, but it was a completely different mood.

At that time, she was still intoxicated by the imagined happiness and couldn't extricate herself, but now, her state of mind is like the snow on the ground at this moment, confused and cold.

She saw his figure move slightly, thinking that he was about to leave, but unexpectedly he walked towards the pavilion.

Qingqing's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, and the first thought in her mind was that she should stand up and leave.

She really stood up and turned around to leave.

But he suddenly called her name in a low voice: "Qingqing."

She stood still and couldn't move, her feet seemed to be pinned by something, she hated herself a little, hated herself for being too soft-hearted, bit the tip of her tongue, the pain made her wake up a little bit, she lowered her head and stepped out pavilion.

Forgetting to put on a coat, the pavilion was as warm as spring, but it was still cold outside, Qingqing couldn't help shivering.

"Qingqing..." He sighed softly in his heart, she avoided him like a scourge.

"I came to see you. I just want to ask you for one thing. Grandpa is sick and misses you all the time in the hospital. If it's convenient for you, can you go and see his old man?"

Because she was thinking about divorcing Huo Jingchen, although she was very worried about the old man's health, she also felt that she was inconvenient and not qualified to visit his old man again. What's more, she would only feel guilty when they met - after all, she Having failed the old man's expectations, she could no longer be with Huo Jingchen as he wished.

Hearing what he said, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"You also know that there are not many caring people around grandpa, and he has always liked you very much, and he was still talking to me a while ago, the food is not to my taste, and I want to eat the food you cooked..."

Huo Jingchen's eyes were reddish, and he was obviously haggard and tired. When he said this, his voice became more sincere: "I know it's a bit difficult for me to ask you now, but please see that for the sake of grandpa, who has always loved you, let me let you go." The old man can relax for a few days in his illness, okay?"
