Chapter 119 Don’t cry
"What did you say?"
The cane slammed hard on the ground, producing another series of crackling sounds.
"go out."
Huo Wang's face was ashen, as if it could drip ink. The bodyguards beside him, being very perceptive, surrounded the area securely.
"Jiang Zhuhua, I am your biological father. What exactly are you doing?"
Jiang Xingjia's face was dark and gloomy. The woman on the hospital bed, pale-faced, stared at the man standing at the foot of the bed, neither willing to admit defeat.
"I've never seen a biological father whose first thought isn't to care about his daughter, but rather to covet her money."
Huo Wang abruptly interrupted the eye contact, shielding Jiang Zhuhua behind him. He didn't know what Jiang Zhuhua looked like at eighteen.
However, he did not want Jiang Zhuhua to suffer such a blow when he was at his most vulnerable.
"I only wanted to let her rest and recover because I care about her. I asked her older brother, second brother, or younger sister to help her."
Jiang Xingjia, with a serious face, uttered exceptionally shameless words.
The words were spoken with an air of self-righteousness and self-assurance. Aside from the still-young Pei Hui, who would take them seriously?
“There’s no need for that. I will take care of Jiang Zhuhua. She can still do her job on her own. It just looks dangerous, but she’ll recover quickly with some rest. You’re outsiders, so you don’t need to worry about these things.”
Many verbal battles are simply a way for one person to appear justified and to elicit moral condemnation from onlookers towards the other protagonist.
Huo Wang's clear and logical narration exposed the other party's shameless behavior. A crowd had already begun to gather, as the place was indeed quite lively.
It was like watching a grand opera.
"What do you mean by outsiders? Guai Guai is my own daughter. Would we ever harm her? It's clearly us who care about her, yet you're judging us with your petty mind."
Whether Shen Zhaochun felt guilty or not when he said these words was unclear, but his expression didn't show any guilt.
It's also possible that such people don't feel there's anything wrong with their behavior deep down.
Huo Wang was so angry he wanted to laugh, and in fact, he did laugh.
"You're getting old, you should avoid embarrassing yourself. Show the guest out."
These people are so noisy. Huo Wang noticed out of the corner of his eye that Jiang Zhuhua's expression seemed a bit off, and he didn't want to argue about it.
They were immediately escorted out by their bodyguards. These people were kicked out in a very undignified manner.
The noise outside still managed to get in, even though the door blocked it.
Would you like some hot water?
Jiang Zhuhua's face was too pale. He was already pale because of his illness, but now he seemed to have no life in him.
"No need. Thank you."
Suddenly, Jiang Zhuhua seemed to become cold and aloof. There was a hint of what he would become later.
"Could you two please leave for a moment? I need to be alone for a while."
The words were spoken very politely, but it was precisely this politeness that made people feel even more uneasy.
"mom……"
Jiang Ji wanted to say something with concern, but someone covered her mouth and picked her up.
"We'll wait outside for a bit, and I'll knock on the door in ten minutes. Is that alright?"
Huo Wang was worried if it took too long.
However, Jiang Zhuhua seems to desperately need solitude rather than companionship.
"Ah."
Jiang Zhuhua had already covered his head with the blanket and huddled under it, his voice muffled.
Huo Wang carried the child out as well and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
The family outside hadn't left yet; they were frowning and whispering to each other not far away, and it was unclear what they were saying.
“Your mother has amnesia now. She thinks she is eighteen years old. She feels insecure about the world. So let’s not disturb her and let her calm down for a while.”
The child struggled like a fish, thrashing about in his arms. Huo Wang dared not use too much force, afraid of hurting the child, so he could only half-hold and half-carry him, occasionally getting kicked in the process.
Children's thoughts are straightforward and simple, Huo Wang reminded him, trying his best to soothe his emotions.
The child in Huo Wang's arms paused for a moment, patted Huo Wang's hand, indicating that he would let go and stop making a fuss.
"Huo Wang, will Mom abandon me? I don't exist in her memory."
Huo Wang slowly released his hand, and Jiang Ji's words were choked with sobs and filled with deep attachment.
"We can get to know each other again."
Don't tell me I didn't know you; she didn't even know me back then. Who could I complain to?
Huo Wang silently wiped away his own bitter tears, but still comforted Jiang Ji with a gentle voice and an air of confidence.
The two fell silent, neither speaking, waiting for time to pass.
The two took turns checking their own timekeeping devices. Time seemed to stand still, as if it had stopped moving.
I checked the time several times, and it was always the same. After waiting for what felt like forever, the Jiang family finally left, and those long ten minutes finally passed.
Huo Wangming was clearly in a hurry to go in, extremely anxious, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and knocked on the door.
"come in."
The person inside spoke with a noticeable nasal tone, but their emotions seemed relatively stable.
Huo Wang opened the door without hesitation, and Jiang Ji was the first to crawl under Huo Wang's armpit.
"Mom, don't cry, I'll always be with you."
Not knowing what to say at this moment, Jiang Ji could only awkwardly offer comfort, attempting to reach out and wipe away her mother's tears.
The distance was too close; Jiang Zhuhua wasn't used to this distance and couldn't help but tilt his head slightly.
Jiang Ji's hand missed its target, and he instinctively withdrew it.
Go and pour your mother a glass of warm water.
Huo Wang took his hand in his own and squeezed it comfortingly.
Jiang Ji obediently went to pour hot water. Now only the two of them were left in the ward.
Jiang Zhuhua wasn't used to being in the same room with a man; she felt itchy all over. The awkwardness made her want to jump out the window.
"What I'm about to say is what you told me. I'm repeating it to you now, so don't ask any questions yet."
There were other people around before, so it wasn't convenient to talk.
Huo Wang finally got his chance; there was something very important. Extremely important.
That is the matter of transmigrating into a book, and the original male and female protagonists. After all, not long ago, a group of people were still worrying about this matter, and then such a big thing happened.
As Jiang Zhuhua listened to the other person's retelling, it felt like he was listening to a story.
"How could that be? You've been reading too many novels, haven't you? You're trying to fool me with novel plots."
Jiang Zhuhua's original sadness was replaced by an urge to laugh because of these words.
Even children don't believe this kind of rhetoric.
Transmigrating into a book? What kind of villain is that?
With this technology, why not just go to ancient times or the future? Wouldn't it be better to get the elixir of immortality from the future and give it to Qin Shi Huang?
