She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Chapter 0290: Sorry, It's All My Fault Chapter 290: Chapter 0290: Sorry, It's All My Fault Huo Tingxiao thought the old man was confessing because of Han Yongmei's situation and simply consoled him not to overthink it.

“Grandpa, it's okay now, please don't blame yourself anymore, it's all in the past. The most important thing right now is your health.”

The old man was so frail that after saying a few words, he stopped speaking.

After a while, the old man fell into a deep sleep, and Huo Tingxiao came out of the ICU, looking very solemn.

Huo Tingyang hurried up to him, demanding to know if the old man had said anything.

“You are not welcome here, get out!”

“Huo Tingxiao, don't think I don't know what you're scheming. You just want to kick me out, don't you?

I'm telling you, don't think you're still the high and mighty young master. If Grandpa wasn't disappointed in you, he wouldn't have parachuted me into the Huo Family.”

This mention of disappointment made Huo Tingxiao's pupils shake. Mu Lan knew that this had hit Huo Tingxiao's soft spot; his feelings for the old man were always complicated.

“Huo Tingyang, this is a hospital, please watch your behavior.

Grandpa is still here, yet you're eager to show your true colors?”

Huo Tingyang gave an embarrassed smile.

“I'm just speaking the truth. Everyone knows you just want to take advantage while the old man is not lucid and manipulate things.

Huo Tingxiao, what exactly did Grandpa say to you, do you dare say?”

Huo Tingxiao didn't want to waste unnecessary time with him and signaled the bodyguard with his eyes, and Huo Tingyang's arms were quickly restrained.

“Let go of me, what are you trying to do? Huh? Let go!”

The situation turned chaotic for a moment, and Huo Qidong arrived late, his expression grave.

“What are you doing?”

Huo Tingxiao lifted his eyelids just slightly, clutching his fist as he looked at Huo Qidong.

“You even remembered to come?”

Huo Qidong's face suddenly worsened, as he stared fixedly at Huo Tingxiao.

“How is he doing?”

“He woke for a while, then fell back asleep.”

“Hm, he's always been strong, there won't be a problem.”

His tone was flat and indifferent, as if the person lying there wasn't his father but some distant relative he was merely obligated to visit.

Huo Tingxiao finally couldn't suppress his anger.

“Grandpa is already in this condition, what more do you want? You're already divorced, isn't that enough?”

Huo Qidong furrowed his brow, gazing deeply at Huo Tingxiao. In those dark eyes, there were emotions that Huo Tingxiao couldn't understand, building layer upon layer, almost bursting forth. His Adam's apple bobbed, but in the end, he suppressed the urge to say what he wanted.

“This is a matter of the elders, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Looking away, Huo Qidong avoided his gaze further.

Yet, Huo Tingxiao gave a cold laugh, indeed it had nothing to do with him. No matter how they fought, as a father, he could leave without saying a word.

He left him in the old mansion as a child, never caring, rarely seeing him even once a year. He consistently changed women outside and even had children, yet Huo Tingxiao had to turn a blind eye, pretending not to care. But did he really not care?

The real answer was something only Huo Tingxiao knew best, most clearly.

If Mu Lan hadn't appeared by his side and spent seven years thawing his heart, teaching him a little about love, he might have continued being a unfeeling monster.

“Of course, it doesn't concern me, it's not just unrelated to me…”

Huo Qidong frowned and looked at him.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I know what you all are plotting, but I warn you, no one is going to take even the slightest bit.

Everything of the Huo Family is mine, do you understand?”

Huo Tingxiao said each word distinctly, Huo Qidong looked at him but didn't speak, while Huo Tingyang became anxious.

“Huo Tingxiao, you've finally shown your true colors, saying you don't care, but in reality, you are the one who cares the most; you want to take everything from the Huo Family!”

“Tingxiao, you don't need to tell me what you want; the Huo Family has long been unimportant to me, and I don't want grandfather's property either.”

Huo Tingyang was taken aback by Huo Qidong's words, and Mu Lan carefully observed his expression, trying to determine if his words were heartfelt, or just a ploy to make Huo Tingxiao lower his guard. If it was the latter, then he was greatly underestimating people.

“Huo Tingyang, everything of the Huo Family was originally mine, what do you think you are, and what right do you have to contend with me?”

Huo Tingxiao did not want to leave even the last shred of dignity for Huo Tingyang, which angered Huo Tingyang so much that he stomped his foot.

“Dream on, I will not let you succeed, I've already secured one of the two plots of land in the tender, and the board members won't let you return, you are the one who is declining now!”

Hearing this, Huo Tingxiao scoffed.

“Is that so? Let's just wait and see.”

Seeing Huo Tingxiao's full confidence, Huo Tingyang felt somewhat unsure. Why was he so confident; could it be that he had a backup plan?

No, he had calculated the shares of the group; even if grandfather gave him all his shares, but without the support of the board members, it would all be in vain.

Right, this tender was enough to prove everything, Huo Tingxiao lacked ability; there was nothing to fear.

Huo Qidong did not intervene in the dispute between his two sons but said he wanted to talk to Huo Tingxiao.

“Dad, you…”

“We're just going to talk.”

After giving his second son a reassuring look, the two headed in the direction of the secure passage.

Huo Tingxiao looked at Huo Qidong with a faint expression, unaware of what Huo Qidong wanted to discuss this time.

If he wanted to plead for that waste, Huo Tingyang, it was truly unnecessary.

“So you want me to spare your son first?”

“I know you harbor a lot of resentment towards me, but Tingxiao, there are things you don't know, which I also promised your grandfather not to tell you.

We have a strained father-son relationship–I understand that.

I don't blame anyone. It was my own choice, and I must own up to it.

I exchanged you for my freedom, it was my mistake.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him, what did he mean by exchanging him for freedom?

“What are you talking about?”

“So many years have passed, discussing who is right or wrong is pointless now. I just asked Shen Zichu, and he says your grandfather's condition isn't actually good.

This time he might barely manage, but he could suffer a cerebral hemorrhage at any time. Regarding the affairs of the Huo Family, I won't interfere, nor will I get involved in the struggle between you and Huo Tingyang.

You can do whatever you want. I won't want any of the property; it's all yours.”

What Huo Qidong said left Huo Tingxiao somewhat stunned.

He called him out just to say this? It seemed somewhat ridiculous.

“What exactly are you up to? You want to give up all claims to the inheritance? Is this your way of easing your guilt? Do you think I care about your money?”
