Chapter 264 - 264: Huo Jiuxiao Is Back?
The next morning, Lin Wanli woke up in bed with Youran but Huo Jiuxiao was not present. She received two calls. The first was that Old Madam Lin really had a cerebral hemorrhage and was in the hospital. Ye Weiyin told her that once Old Madam Lin’s condition stabilized, she would send her to the sanatorium.
Ye Weiyin wanted the old lady to feel the feeling of being abandoned.
Lin Wanli could not even take care of herself now. As for the old lady’s fate, Ye Weiyin could do whatever she wanted.
The second call came from the manager of Qiushan Hot Spring Zen Temple. There was no reply from Huo Yu’an’s room. She had ordered a lot of red wine last night. The manager was afraid that something would happen to her.
Lin Wanli tidied herself up, hugged her daughter, and kissed her cheek before leaving Yujing Peak.
Half an hour later, she arrived at Huo Yu’an’s room.
The manager swiped his card to open the door. Lin Wanli pushed the door open and entered. Immediately after, she smelled the strong smell of alcohol and saw the bloodstains on the glass of the living room.
Lin Wanli found the unconscious Huo Yu’an in the bathtub. After she was sent to the hospital, the doctor pumped her stomach. The reason was that Huo Yu’an had taken a lot of sleeping pills and drank a lot of alcohol. Fortunately, the sleeping medicine she gave Huo Yutan was not too toxic. Otherwise, Huo Yu’an would be courting death.
Lin Wanli herself was not feeling well, so she applied for leave and stayed in the hospital until Huo Yu’an woke up.
Huo Yutan opened her eyes and stared at the hospital’s white ceiling. At this moment, her body felt very uncomfortable. Her head was dizzy, and her stomach hurt, but it was not even one-tenth of her heartache.
“Do you want to die? If so, I don’t want to care about you anymore.” Lin Wanli whispered into her ear.
“I just don’t know how to relieve the pain in my heart.” Huo Yu’an replied. At this moment, tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and into her ears. She said, “You may not believe it, but compared to before, this isn’t considered suffering to me.”
After saying that, Huo Yutan lifted her hospital gown and revealed her abdomen. It was densely packed with scars, long and short.
“I used to be crazy. This is nothing.”
Lin Wanli pulled her clothes down to cover the wounds on her body. Then, she
thing about death is not the pain, but the unwillingness, regret, and reluctance to part with people. You thought that your death could temporarily attract the attention of others and see their regretful expressions. You thought that this was a form of revenge, but it’s not…”
“You only take revenge on those who truly care about you. You can’t take revenge on those hypocritical people. If you really want them to regret it, you should live well and watch with your own eyes. You shouldn’t lie here and die because they are flirting with each other at this time.”
“Being active and healthy isn’t the only goal in life. You can do whatever you want, take revenge if you want, and indulge if you want. After all, there’s hope if you’re alive.”
After hearing Lin Wanli’s words, Huo Yu’an finally began to look at her carefully. Then, she commented, “You don’t look so good today.”
“Because I temporarily lost the most important thing to me.” Lin Wanli said bluntly.
No wonder there was no light in her eyes.
“Why is it temporary?”
“Because I will… Take it back.”
At this moment, Huo Yu’an looked at Lin Wanli’s body. It was as if she was glowing.
Because Huo Yu’an had been in contact with Lin Wanli for the past few days, she had always felt that she was able to strategize everything. Sometimes, she was so powerful that she did not seem like a woman. However, seeing her listless and heartbroken, Huo Yu’an realized that some people were not painless, but they would use the knife in their hearts as a whip to whip themselves forward.
“Do you think it’s easy to get close to a small celebrity in the entertainment industry?”
“With your identity, it’s not difficult.” Lin Wanli replied, “If you’ve thought about it, then do it. Do it grandly and spectacularly, then you won’t have lived your life in vain.”
Lin Wanli got up from her chair and was about to leave the ward when Huo Yu’an stopped her. She said, “I’ll leave AFF to you for now. Also, I hated you at first because my uncle wanted you to be the Huo family’s daughter-in-law.” “What?” Lin Wanli turned around and pretended to be surprised.
“Huo Jiuxiao’s father, Huo Qingxiao, wants you to be his daughter-in-law. You probably don’t know, but Huo Jiuxiao is returning to the Huo family.”
Lin Wanli frowned but did not say anything.
Because Huo Jiuxiao was the most important “thing” she had temporarily lost.
“My uncle wants you to marry Huo Jiuxiao.”
“It sounds a little ridiculous!” Lin Wanli commented.
“I used to think that it was ridiculous too. But now, I think you and Huo Jiuxiao are quite compatible. Although you don’t have any background, you have the ability and skills to avoid the Huo family’s attacks. Also, for some reason, I feel that your personality is similar to my brother’s.”
“I don’t like to throw people into the sewers.”
“Don’t you have someone you love? You probably won’t agree to it either, right?”
“Who knows?” Lin Wanli gave a vague answer and left the ward. Huo Yutan turned her head to look at the IV drip and pulled out the needle.
Because she suddenly missed the old Huo Yu’an.
What active, healthy, normal life? She just wanted to do whatever she wanted now.
She belonged to the darkness and always had been.
But who said that people couldn’t bloom in the dark?
When the ward round doctor came in, he saw Huo Yu’an pulling out the needle and was about to scold the patient for being willful.
Huo Yu’an thought of the pills in her bag. She took them out from the bedside
table and asked the doctor, “Do you know what this medicine is?”
The doctor took it in his hand and crushed a corner to smell it. Then, he replied, “I can’t tell, but I can send it to the laboratory for you.”
“Thank you, Doctor.”
“But why did you pull out the needle?” the doctor asked with a frown.
“I’m a little allergic.” Huo Yu’an said with a smile.
After the doctor left, the ward became quiet again. Huo Yu’an took out her phone and called a string of numbers.
After a long while, the person on the other end of the phone finally picked up and impatiently said, “Huo Yu’an, what did I tell you before?”
“Mom, don’t be in a hurry to lecture me. I just found something and wanted to ask you. Do you know what the chicken blood and talisman on my bed are for?”
Huo Yu ‘an put on an extremely innocent expression and put on an act. She said, “Why don’t you come over and take a look? I’m scared.”
On the other side, the news of Huo Jiuxiao arriving in Africa to see Huo Qingxiao had already reached the Huo family’s ears.
Everyone in the eight-story villa that occupied an area of nearly 1,000 square meters felt the impact.
Huo Jiuxiao was back?
