Chapter 326 Huo Liancheng's Attitude Changes
"Honey, I feel a little hot."
She was still sweating.
Huo Yunzheng was stunned, smiled, and loosened the quilt a little.
The room was well air-conditioned to ensure she wouldn't catch a cold again.
"Hubby, don't worry about me. I'll be fine in two days."
Qiao Chuchu comforted him with a smile. From the time she was rescued until now, Huo Yunzheng always looked nervous.
She's fine, her arms and legs aren't broken, and apart from catching a cold, she has no other problems.
She was lucky. Although Ding Kang was cruel, he was not very smart.
She also met a weak-willed Old Sixth Brother, which allowed her to escape.
After being discharged from the hospital, she would go to the temple to burn incense and thank God and various gods for their protection.
"You have to be careful about that."
Huo Yunzheng is patient and gentle, and seems to be constantly concerned about his wife's affairs.
Girls are prone to cold body. This time she jumped into the river to escape, and the cold air invaded her body. If she doesn't take good care of herself, what if she develops some disease?
Rheumatism, arthritis, neither of them is pleasant.
Before going to bed, Huo Yunzheng asked Qiao Chuchu to drink a cup of warm milk. After watching her brush her teeth and lie down, he turned off the lights and lay down on the other bed.
Qiao Chuchu closed her eyes. She had really experienced a life-and-death experience today, a battle of wits and courage, which had consumed a lot of her mental and physical energy. She was already exhausted.
Soon, the sound of her steady breathing could be heard in the silent room.
It was not until she fell asleep that Huo Yunzheng gradually relaxed. He lay on his side on the bed, with one hand behind his head, looking at the small ball on the bed in the moonlight shining in from outside.
She sleeps very well, so peacefully and beautifully.
If possible, he really wanted to keep her by his side all the time, 24 hours a day, and protect her personally to see who dared to touch her.
After this incident, Huo Yunzheng has made up his mind that he cannot listen to his baby.
From now on, no matter where she goes or what she does, there must be someone following her.
If she feels it is inconvenient, he will select some female bodyguards for her to provide close protection.
To Huo Yunzheng, nothing is more important than her safety.
……
At the Huo family, Shi Shi was surprised to learn that Mr. Huo had gone to the hospital in person yesterday to visit Huo Yunzheng's wife.
After asking the family's driver carefully, Shi Shi learned that the old man had also taken out the treasures he had collected for many years and gave them to Jing Xi. She was stunned for a long time.
This is how the same thing?
Didn't Huo Liancheng have a big problem with Jing Xi? Why did he suddenly change his attitude and even condescend to visit a junior in the hospital?
In the front hall, Shi Shi brought over the brewed tea. Huo Liancheng had just finished talking to the distant relatives who came to visit.
The Huo family has a huge influence in Beijing. Every year from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, many distant relatives and businessmen who have cooperative relationships with the Huo family come to visit.
Huo Liancheng meets endless people every day, but he usually meets the important ones first.
He let Huo Shan deal with those who only wanted to rely on the Huo family to take advantage of them and seek some benefits.
"Dad, you must be thirsty. This tea is just right."
Shi Shi put down the teacup, looked at Huo Liancheng, and carefully considered her words.
"I don't know what's happened to Xiaoxi. You went to see her yesterday. She's fine."
Huo Liancheng sipped his tea and looked at Shi Shi. His expression was normal and there was no sign of his mood changing.
"If you are worried, you can go to the hospital. As the parents-in-law, you and your wife should visit. It's not good to always let the woman's family worry about her, which will make the Huo family dissatisfied."
Hearing Huo Liancheng's words, Shi Shi's expression became a little awkward.
In the past, Huo Liancheng would definitely not have said this. He had a lot of opinions about Jing Xi and believed that it was she who instigated Huo Yunzheng to stay away from home, disrespect his elders, and be disobedient and unfilial.
But looking at the current situation, has Huo Liancheng forgiven him?
"That's what you said."
Shi Shi could only agree, "I also told Huo Shan, but he can't leave because people have come to visit him every day these past two days. Let's take some time to go there tomorrow to see Xiao Xi and give her some nutritional supplements."
Huo Liancheng hummed and said nothing more.
Shi Shi observed him with a flattering smile.
Then, she said with concern, "Ding was so bold in this kidnapping. Fortunately, Xiaoxi didn't get hurt. She probably didn't get taken advantage of. That kind of scumbag with no bottom line who can do anything should be shot. Who knows what he did to Xiaoxi during those few hours he took her away? It's really scary."
She seemed to be scolding Ding Kang, but she was hinting at something intentionally or unintentionally.
If it were in the past, Huo Liancheng might have been led astray by her words and would have asked someone to investigate.
If the daughter-in-law of the Huo family was really taken advantage of by someone, even if there was a reason, it would not sound good if it got out, as it would damage the reputation of the Huo family.
But ever since the butler told him what he had heard, Huo Liancheng felt like a thorn was buried in his heart.
In the past few years, he could not be said to be kind to Shi Shi, but he trusted her very much.
He entrusted many matters in the Huo family's inner courtyard to her, knowing that being a housekeeper was not easy. He never treated her badly in life. Although he never gave her shares in the group, he would give her money from time to time for her to spend.
As far as he knew, many of Huoshan's assets were also managed by her.
Among the wealthy ladies in Beijing's upper class circles, she has surpassed many.
Over the years, she has also earned a good reputation for herself. Throughout the capital, everyone says that she is virtuous and gentle.
But now Huo Liancheng feels that this daughter-in-law is not as simple as she seems.
"Don't speculate about things without evidence. It's fine if it's just outsiders guessing, but it's inappropriate for you, as a mother-in-law, to be suspicious like this."
"I went to see that girl yesterday. She just caught a cold. There's nothing else wrong. She's fine."
There was a hint of anger in Huo Liancheng's words. In his opinion, Shi Shi's words just now were too purposeful.
What did she want to do? Was she trying to discredit Yun Zheng's wife in front of him?
Shi Shi has been in the Huo family for so many years, serving Huo Liancheng all the time, and knows his temper very well.
She knew that Huo Liancheng had something against her.
Shi Shi wisely shut up, fearing that if she continued talking, the old man would have an opinion of her, which would not be worth the loss.
After years of hard work, she knows that nothing can be rushed.
Huo Liancheng's current behavior clearly shows that he is giving in to Jing Xi.
After all, he still favors Huo Yunzheng.
Their boy Yunrui is fifteen or sixteen years old and has never received his favoritism.
The old man used to guide Huo Yunzheng step by step, teaching him how to do business and passing on all his years of experience in the business world.
However, Huo Yunrui from their family did not receive such treatment.
They are both descendants of the Huo family and both call him grandpa, but there is a world of difference between them.
Shi Shi was angry and spoke up for herself and her son.
She has been working hard in the Huo family, and her son is striving to make progress. Her son and Huo Yunzheng should have equal inheritance rights to the Huo family's business. Why should Huo Yunzheng take all the benefits?
Such a big group cannot be owned by Huo Yunzheng alone!
