Guide the Villain Father to Be Virtuous - Chapter 46

Chapter 46:  Old Master Huo’s Story (2)   

This person was so vicious that she was cheated. 

She couldn’t bear it. 

This was really intolerable. 

He was a villain who would do whatever he wanted, kill people, and set them on fire without caring about anything! 

What a dirty trick! 

“Mine!” Huo Xiaoxiao jumped up to beat him. 

But she was too short to reach the corner of her father’s clothes through the crib fence.
 

“Behave. When you are 18 years old, I will give these to you. Where are you going to use this now?” 

“Guard! Hug and sleep! Happy!” 

“Little miser, this is a punishment for cheating on me. Don’t cheat others next time, okay?” 

Huo Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth. 

Why did she lie? Because I don’t want you to die! 

It’s for your own good! 

Now that you know the truth, you are going to cross the river and burn the bridge? 

Without me, you won’t even know the reason for your death! 

What Huo Xiaoxiao wanted to say all turned into one sentence. “Dad is bad!” 

Grandpa really didn’t lie to me: this father really is bad!
 

Huo Suicheng chuckled, as if he didn’t care about her. He squeezed her fluffy cheeks. “It’s already late. Go to bed.” 

Huo Xiaoxiao, still in the crib, had to watch Huo Suicheng leave with her small school bag. 

Her heart bled. 

This was unacceptable! 

It was just too much! 

That was all the money she had saved! 

At least, leave something. 

Even a necklace will do. 

Huo Xiaoxiao wanted to cry several times, but no tears came out. Lying on the bed, she felt empty. 

No way! She couldn’t just sit back! 

She wouldn’t let this go! 

Tomorrow, I’ll tell Grandpa about it! 

I’ll tell him that his son stole his granddaughter’s hard-earned money! 

Grandpa will definitely stand by my side and ask him to return my things! 

And also! 

Dad treated me so badly today. When I grow up, I will inherit all of his wealth! And then I’m going to spend it all! 

Huo Xiaoxiao thought viciously as the footsteps in the corridor faded away. 

Huo Suicheng went back to his room, looked at her daughter’s bulging schoolbag, shook his head, and put it in his own closet. 

He truly didn’t want his daughter’s things. He was just keeping it for her, intending to give it back at least two days later. 

After running around the hospital and home, Huo Suicheng was a little tired. He took a bath, lay down to rest, and closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep. 

He remembered what Huo Xiaoxiao had just told him. 

I said, Dad, love Grandpa. Grandpa just…” 

Because he had quarreled with the old man for Luming Mountain, the old man scolded him for being a jerk. Then, to prove that he was not that bad, she made the old man act sick and lied to him to observe his reaction. 

Huo Suicheng was helpless. 

What a child. 

Luming Mountain… 

Huo Suicheng remained silent for a long time. He didn’t get up until the moonlight outside the window crossed the balustrade of the terrace. He went to the desk and took out an old letter from the corner of his drawer. 

The letter was very old, but the corners were neat and well preserved. 

There was no light in the room. Huo Suicheng took the letter out of the envelope carefully, using the moonlight behind him. 

“Suicheng… it’s mom…” This was the first sentence in the letter. 

Huo Suicheng remembered that when he was a child, a little bigger than Xiaoxiao, he was already noticing things. 

In the early days of his business, his father was away from home all year round. His mother, who took care of him, finally lost all her love for him as she waited day after day. 

At noon on the first sunny day, his mother made him a bowl of miso noodles and left the house with a big bag. 

In fact, he had sensed something that day and had walked his mother to the door. He asked when she would be back, wishing for her to return early. 

He could feel his mother’s struggle and reluctance, but in the end, she left him. 

No one knew where she had gone. Even though his father’s business was growing bigger and he had spent a lot of human and financial resources, he still couldn’t find her. 

To this day, the old man has been looking forward to his wife’s coming home to listen to her apology, hoping that the family would be as happy as before. 

And, he received this letter five years ago. He didn’t let anyone see it. 

He kept this letter because he wanted to give vent to his resentment and bitterness one day, to tell the old man that the wife he had been waiting for to return home had died in the arms of another man five years ago. 

Patter! Crackle! 

A fire lit up in his hand. He put the letter on the stove and watched the flames spread, gradually burning the letter to ashes. 

Those unresolved childhood memories vanished like smoke in thin air with the conspiracy of both his father and daughter to pretend to be ill today. 

Now that he had expectations in mind, then let him look forward to it for a lifetime. 

He did not need to know that she was married, had children, and became the wife of others. 

After all, not every truth had value. 

A waft of cigarette smoke rose and then dissipated in the cold moonlight. 

———— 

As the night wore on, the whole hospital was quiet, and most of the wards fell into darkness. 

In the dark building, only one ward was still brightly lit. 

Old Master Huo was sleepless in bed. He stared at the moonlight outside the window and sighed deeply. 

When Chen Bo saw that he was still wide awake, he started nagging, “Master, the doctor said you are in poor health and need to rest early.” 

Old Master Huo was in a low mood, his tone slightly depressed. “Old Chen, do you think I’m too stubborn?” 

Chen Bo laughed. “Why do you say that suddenly?” 

“Over the years, I have been holding on to Luming Mountain. I even had a big fight with Suicheng.” 

“You not willing to let Young Master develop Luming Mountain must have some reason.” 

Old Master Huo sighed. “When I bought Luming Mountain, I was planning to retire there with Yingying in the future.” 

“Madam?” 

Old Master Huo nodded. “But later, she became disappointed with me. She left before I could bring her here. I’ve always told Suicheng that his mother will come back one day. She will return to live with us on Luming Mountain. The scenery there is good. She must like it.” 

Chen Bo had heard about these past events, but he didn’t know the truth. He could only comfort him by saying, “Madam will come back one day.” 

Old Master Huo shook his head. “She will not return. She wrote me a letter five years ago; she has passed away.” 

“Old Master…” 

“You don’t have to comfort me,” Old Master Huo said with a smile. “I’ve seen through it over the years. He can develop it if he wants. I won’t stop him anymore.” 

“About Madam…” 

Old Master Huo sighed. “Suicheng has been looking forward to Yingying’s return since he was a child. He has been waiting for so many years. How can I bear to tell him that his mother, who he has been hoping to meet, doesn’t want him anymore? She married another man and had children in another city. Since he has been expecting it, let him always cherish this hope and keep looking forward to it.” 

Chen Bo was silent for a moment. “Now that there is Little Miss, after taking the responsibility as a father, Young Master will definitely be relieved.” 

When it came to Xiaoxiao, Old Master was full of love. “You are right; there is Xiaoxiao.”
