Huo Shaoheng stood alone smoking under a big tree in the small garden behind the official residence, his expression indifferent, and his tall back looked a little lonely.
The tree had lost all its leaves, leaving only its branches flying sideways into the air.
He has never been used to talking about these things about his mother-in-law and mother. This time he made an exception and mentioned these ridiculous things about his father in front of Song Jinning, just to help Song Jinning get into the mood as soon as possible.
Sixteen years of memory cannot be restored overnight, and he does not have time to wait for a miracle to happen. Song Jinning can restore his memory on his own.
So he had no choice but to focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, focusing on key issues first.
After finishing a cigarette, he was about to enter the room when he heard Zhao Liangze say to him in the earphone: "Master Huo, Huo Jialan has called many times. Do you want to answer the phone?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to pick it up at first, but then he thought about it, Song Jinning was already awake, and he still wanted to find out more about his attitude, so he said to Zhao Liangze, "Take it over."
A few seconds later, Huo Jialan called Huo Shaoheng.
"Cousin? I'm Jialan." Huo Jialan's timid mezzo-soprano voice came from the earphones, "...Is Mrs. Song feeling better? Are you still angry with me if you don't answer my call?"
Huo Shaoheng did not answer her words and asked coldly: "What's the matter? If nothing happens, just hang up."
"Something's happening! Something's happening!" Huo Jialan said hurriedly, not as arrogant as before, "That's it, my grandfather asked me to ask you, will you come back to the New Year's reception? The invitations have been sent out, and everyone knows that you are back for vacation. You If you don't go back... it won't sound good if you tell me."
Huo Shaoheng said "hmm" and said noncommittally: "...it depends on the situation."
Huo Jialan couldn't help but feel sour and angry when she heard Huo Shaoheng's tone towards her and Gu Nianzhi's tone. She couldn't help but feel sour and angry. However, in front of Huo Shaoheng, she couldn't lose her temper, and she was still angry at Song Jinning. She refused to continue to be humble. After thinking about it, her tone became cold: "Oh, I just informed my cousin. Aunt Bai came to our house today, as well as the third uncle of the Bai family. They, along with their grandfather and second uncle, We agreed that at the New Year’s reception, we will officially announce the engagement between Aunt Bai and Second Uncle.”
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Huo Shaoheng was still startled when he heard the news, and then calmly responded: "I know." Then he picked up the phone.
He turned around and walked up the steps to the backyard of the mansion and went inside.
Arriving at the door of operating room B, he saw Gu Nianzhi sitting blankly on the sofa beside the door. Huo Shaoheng paused for a moment, without looking back, and said in a deep voice: "Go and see what the display is doing. You don't need to come here today." ."
Gu Nianzhi slowly raised his head, staring at Huo Shaoheng's back, and said softly: "Mrs. Song is asleep, do you want to go in too?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak again or look back. He just pushed open the door of operating room B, walked in, and then closed the door.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly, stood up and went to look for display again.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng entered operating room B, he pressed the switch next to the door and turned on the shadowless light in the room.
Song Jinning subconsciously raised her arms to cover her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the suddenly brightened room.
"...Are you awake?" Huo Shaoheng sat over, smelling faintly of cigarette smoke, and the expression on his face was more solemn than before he went out.
Song Jinning closed her eyes and waited for her eyes to adapt to the light in the room, then slowly opened them and sat up straight on the operating chair, "I didn't sleep."
She let out a breath, "I can't sleep. But I don't want to talk either."
"What now? Do you want to say it?" Huo Shaoheng looked at her and finally said gently: "If you feel uncomfortable, let's talk about it later."
He didn't want to push too hard either.
It was rare for Song Jinning to hear Huo Shaoheng say a word of humiliation. She remembered that ever since he was sensible, he had been a very assertive person who would not give in easily.
"...It's nothing." Song Jinning smiled, "I was a little surprised just now."
Of course, it was painful, but she didn't want to show it in front of her son.
"What's the surprise?" Huo Shaoheng disagreed, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes. He endured it for six years before asking for a divorce, which can be considered the end of his kindness."
"You think so?" Song Jinning was slightly disappointed, "Shao Heng, you are twenty-eight years old this year, right?"
"Um."
"Then are you married? Is that Gu Nianzhi your wife?" Song Jinning asked casually. She originally thought that Huo Shaoheng would be married at such an old age, and maybe even have children, but looking at Gu Nianzhi, he is really old. She was too young and didn't want to look like she had given birth to a baby, so she hesitated to ask.
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little hot all of a sudden, but he couldn't take off his coat here.
"Why do you ask?" Huo Shaoheng raised his eyes and glanced at Song Jinning, "No, I'm not married. Gu Nianzhi was assigned to me by the military, and I used to be her guardian."
Song Jinning said "Oh" and said with great disappointment: "No wonder. You don't understand what it means for two people who love each other to become husband and wife."
"Well, there are many divorced couples, and it's not surprising that they may or may not love each other anymore." Huo Shaoheng tried his best to talk about this issue objectively and coldly.
"Then tell me why your father wants to divorce me." Song Jinning looked at Huo Shaoheng without blinking, taking in every expression on his face and carefully judging what he meant by every word.
Sixteen years have passed between them, and they are both smart people. Even mother and son need to get along before they can accept each other.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know where to start. Was it that Huo Guanchen's apparent reason for filing for divorce was that Song Jinning couldn't live a normal married life with him
Or is the real reason for the divorce the love letters that cousin Huo Jialan dumped out after her eldest aunt committed suicide
Huo Shaoheng didn't know whether there was an affair between his uncle Huo Guanyuan and his mother Song Jinning, and he didn't want to know. He just wanted to make an explanation and an explanation.
This kind of embarrassing question should really be asked by Gu Nianzhi...
At this moment, Huo Shaoheng thought of Gu Nianzhi's sharp tongue. No matter what happened, she could always say something like a flower in her mouth. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and smile.
After all, Song Jinning was his mother. From his subtle expression, he already knew that there must be someone in his son's heart.
But she didn't take the time to get to the bottom of it. She just asked another question about Huo Guanchen: "... Also, why is Bai Jinyi your father's girlfriend? Her sweetheart has always been your uncle. Even if your uncle gets married and has a child. , she refused to give up, how could she be with your father? Where is your uncle? "
Huo Shaoheng was startled and suddenly remembered that Song Jinning probably didn't know that his uncle had "died in the line of duty" and disappeared.
"Mother, don't you remember? My uncle was... killed in the line of duty in that experimental accident." Huo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, but still did not say the word "missing", so that his mother would not have to think about it anymore, so he just said "died in the line of duty" "most.
Song Jinning was really shocked and said quickly: "Are you serious? Did he really die in that accident?!"
"Probably, although no bones were found. But I later read the military materials. The scene was bombed like that. There can't be anyone alive." After Huo Shaoheng said this, he realized what Song Jinning said: "... You You mean, the person Bai Jinyi has been pestering is her uncle?!"
