Chapter 154 The Huo Family's Past
Old Madam Huo spent the rest of her life unable to heal this scar, but Huo Qingshan was lucky enough to meet Mu Yunran in this life, and finally found perfection in his thirty years old.
Thinking of Mrs. Huo, the turmoil in Huo's father's eyes gradually subsided, and he slowly returned to his former clarity.

Thinking of the low pressure on Father Huo's body just now, Jiang Muwan couldn't help but turn around and look at Huo Chenchao beside him, "Don't you really need to help Dad deal with this matter?"
Knowing her worry, Huo Chenchao raised his hand and rubbed her little head.
"No, and in Dad's mind, the less I interfere in this matter, the better."
Hmm? Jiang Muwan looked at him in confusion.
Huo Chen smiled faintly. He had no intention of hiding this from her.
"I only learned about these past events by chance. Dad originally planned to keep it a secret from me forever. He didn't want the grudges between the two generations to continue on to me."
"It's a debt of love that Grandpa owed me. Back then, Grandpa fell in love with the housekeeper's daughter, but Great Grandpa didn't allow it and used the Huo family's inheritance authority to force him to marry Grandma.
"He didn't love grandma, but he loved power and status. After he and grandma gave birth to dad, he never came back home. He built a golden house and a love nest with that woman."
"Grandma was a woman who lived a very clear life. Even though her husband didn't come home, she didn't give up on herself. She carefully managed her business and didn't forget to personally teach and train Dad. With a capable daughter-in-law and a smart grandson, Great Grandpa turned a blind eye to the affair between Grandpa and that woman."
"But later, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son who was only nine years older than me. Grandpa then thought about letting this child replace Dad and inherit the Huo family and everything he had. But how could Great Grandpa allow such a ridiculous thing?"
"My great grandfather and my grandfather fought overtly and covertly for a long time, and finally my great grandfather succeeded in driving the mother and son away. My grandfather became increasingly depressed and violent."
"Until one day three years later, the woman wrote to me. In the letter, she said her son had died of illness. She also said she hated grandpa and hoped that grandpa would never come to Linxian to look for her."
"At that time, Grandpa smashed the entire Huo family mansion and locked himself in his room for three days and three nights. When he came out, he was like a different person. He took the initiative to talk to Dad. He didn't even mention the mother and son again, and he really didn't go to look for that woman."
"Later, my great-grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another, and the relationship between my grandfather and my father became tense again. He even said that my father's marriage in the future must be with a person he designated, otherwise he didn't mind letting the tragedy between him and that woman continue to happen."
"It's just that he didn't expect." When he said this, Huo Chen looked at Jiang Muwan and held her hand. "He didn't expect that not everyone is like him, wanting both power and freedom, unable to learn to give up, and not knowing how to fight for it."
So that's how it is! It turns out that Mr. Huo has such an unknown past. It turns out that Mr. Huo, who is so kind and open-minded now, and who would quarrel with Huo Chenchao from time to time, also had such a suffocating past.
Thinking of the Huo family now filled with laughter and joy, Jiang Muwan couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at it this way, my parents are really a model of destined fate. A family marriage, marriage first, love later, and finally hand in hand for a lifetime, happy and fulfilling!"
"Heh" Hearing the girl's words, Huo Chenchao chuckled, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"What are you laughing at? Isn't this the truth?" Jiang Muwan was confused and curious by his smile.
"Of course not." Huo Chen scratched Jiang Muwan's little nose. "It seemed like Grandpa won back then, but in fact, Dad and Mom tricked Grandpa."
"Mom actually fell in love with Dad at first sight. She won him over after just three days of courtship. Because in Dad's eyes at that time, Mom was the only bright spot in his miserable life.
"After they confirmed their feelings for each other, they didn't rush to be together in a high-profile manner. Instead, they put on a show in front of Grandpa, making Grandpa think that they would be a typical couple with bad tempers."
"So grandpa took the initiative to arrange this marriage, and by the time he found out the truth, dad had already stripped him of all his power."
"Then you..." After listening to him talk about the past of Huo's father and Mrs. Huo, Jiang Muwan looked up and stared at Huo Chenchao. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked the question in his mind.
"Since Grandpa no longer had real power, and Mom and Dad would definitely not interfere in your marriage, why did you choose to marry me, whom you had never met at the time?"
"Me? I said I don't know why, do you believe it?" Huo Chenchao raised his hands, tightened the girl's waist, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"When I was young, I was deeply poisoned by my parents' love. When I was six months old, I was asked to learn to be independent. When I was three years old, my father forced me to be a guinea pig for my mother every day, and he could only say that the food tasted good."
"I was never included in their travel plans, and later even Huo Chenxi was thrown to me! At that time, I made up my mind that I would never let myself become a henpecked husband like my father."
“So… you set your own goals at such a young age?” Jiang Muwan thought about the scene when little Huo Chenchao set his goals and found it funny and… cute.
Huo Chenchao: "..." Can my wife ever stop telling the truth and ruining his reputation for one day?
After gently tapping Jiang Muwan's forehead and getting a roll of her eyes from her, Huo Chenchao continued speaking.
"It's true that Grandpa owed Grandma and Dad a debt, but it's also true that he cultivated me with great care. He spent almost all of his later years imparting his lifelong learning to me, and that's how I got to know Mr. Lin."
"I had never felt moved at that time, nor did I think I would. Before I met you, I just thought I could marry anyone, so when grandpa was dying, I nodded and agreed to this marriage that he had been dreaming of."
"But after meeting you," Huo Chen said quickly to the girl who was about to speak in his arms before she could open her mouth.
"After meeting you, for me, no one else can do except you."
Jiang Muwan was blocked before she could even finish her words: "..." Huo Chenchao really understood her.
But with his sincere confession afterwards, she reluctantly forgave him for not letting her speak.
"Huo Chenchao, you are so good at saying sweet words now, do your family members know?"
"I don't care whether others know about it or not, as long as Mrs. Huo knows about it."
Jiang Muwan: "..."Okay, she is now increasingly unable to argue with Huo Chenchao.
While she felt sweet in her heart, she did not forget the problem that had been bothering her.
"Let's get back to business, Huo Chenchao. So the document you just gave Dad was about that mother and son?"
"Yeah," Huo Chen nodded calmly, "I suspect that the mysterious bodyguard Bo Jinzhi beside Jiang Youran is the illegitimate son of my grandfather."
"What?" Jiang Muwan's peach blossom eyes flashed with shock. "He has been at the Jiang family all this time? What is his purpose? And Jiang Youran...has Jiang Youran known his identity all along?"
"Jiang Youran is not that smart. Bo Jinzhi must be trying to take advantage of her status as the daughter of the Jiang family. His real goal should still be the Huo family. But I still haven't figured out what he wants to do."
This matter is really becoming more and more complicated and brain-burning. Jiang Muwan couldn't help but frown. His brain power is really not enough.
A big hand then covered her little head. "Okay, Wanwan, I'm not telling you this so that you can worry about it. Leave it to me, Dad, to handle it."
"Yeah." Jiang Muwan nodded. She believed in Huo Chenchao and also believed in Huo's father.
……
The car soon stopped at Fu Tingyu's private laboratory.
Huo Chenchao walked out of the car, holding Jiang Muwan's hand.
She was about to meet Mu'an. This was the first time that Jiang Muwan came to see Jiang Mu'an as a sister. She no longer had her previous tough demeanor. She held Huo Chenchao's hand tightly, and her hands even shook a little when she walked to the door.
"Huo... Huo Chenchao, wait, wait a moment, I'll slow down a bit, slow down a bit"
