C558 Dispirited Mind
Huo Liancheng quickly looked at Jian Yun and then looked away. There was no change in his expression but his tone was helpless, "Duo Er, why did you mention this again? We agreed not to mention it!"
"I'm serious! I want to get pregnant, I want our child! " Jian Yun was anxious to clarify Huo Liancheng's attitude. She wanted to know what he was thinking. If she told him now that she was pregnant, would he accept it?
"Duo Er, are you not happy when we are together? Why do you have to create trouble?" Huo Liancheng frowned. Clearly, he did not like Jian Yun bringing up this topic.
"How can the child be trouble?" Jian Yun really did not understand why Huo Liancheng hated children so much. She was a little emotional. "A family without children is incomplete!"
Huo Liancheng was silent. He seemed to be concentrating on driving, but Jian Yun knew that he did not want to continue this topic.
Jian Yun bit her lips and slowed down her tone. She stared at Huo Liancheng's side profile. "Can you think about it a little more?"
"Sure." Huo Liancheng replied.
However, Jian Yun could hear the perfunctory tone in his voice. She could not help but raise her head and lean against the chair. Her face was also facing the window, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
It seemed that she could not tell him about her pregnancy for the time being.
The entire way was silent. When they arrived home, Jian Yun did not want to bother with Huo Liancheng and went straight back to her room. Huo Qingcheng came knocking on the door and asked her to come downstairs to eat. Only then did she leave the room.
The atmosphere at the table was also very strange. Jian Yun lowered her head to eat her own food. Huo Qingcheng was distracted the entire time. Huo Liancheng's face was as cold as usual.
After the meal, the butler and the maid who served by the side could not help wiping the cold sweat. It was clearly summer but the dining hall seemed to be in winter and did not need to turn on the cold air.
"Big Sister." Huo Qingcheng saw that Jian Yun was about to leave after the meal and hurriedly called her, "Can you accompany me to the garden for a walk?"
"Yes." Jian Yun deliberately ignored Huo Liancheng's gaze on her and turned around to push Huo Qingcheng's wheelchair out.
When they reached the garden, Huo Qingcheng looked back and saw that no one came over. She then grabbed Jian Yun's hand and asked, "Big sister, did you and big brother fight?"
"No." Jian Yun was a little stunned. When she heard that, she only shook her head, "Why do you ask?"
"I saw that you guys didn't talk when you were eating. I was still looking at you." Huo Qingcheng was helpless, "Don't you feel a chill on your back?"
Jian Yun could not help but laugh, "We did not quarrel but there is one thing that does not agree with each other. What about you? After I left in the afternoon, did your brother criticize you?"
Huo Qingcheng's small face fell and she nodded gloomily, "Yes."
"What did you say?" Jian Yun pushed Huo Qingcheng to the side of the greenhouse and found a wooden chair to sit on. She supported her chin with her hand and excitedly waited for Huo Qingcheng to continue.
"Big brother is more or less the same as you said. I need to consider whether or not I love Brother Yin, or whether it is because I am grateful for his company that I have a different feeling." Huo Qingcheng sighed. Her eyes stared at the horizon and slowly became deeper. She continued, "Although I firmly believe that I really like Brother Yin, I also know that saying this now does not make you believe me. So I thought about it. I will discuss with Brother Yin and temporarily will not disclose our relationship. If he is willing to wait, wait for me to recover and wait for me to walk out of this haze. I will prove it to everyone!"
"Then, do you think Yin Che will be willing to wait for you?" Jian Yun raised her brows. Huo Qingcheng's expression when she said this was very firm like Huo Liancheng. They were indeed the Huo family.
"I don't know!" Huo Qingcheng's eyelids drooped. There was a trace of uncertainty in her voice, "Let's see how he chooses. I will not force him. If he cannot wait, then it can only prove that we are not fated."
Jian Yun nodded, "Now, now, Looking at it, it can only be like this. Rather than taking the risk for uncertainty in the future, it's better to be the best yourself."
Actually, although Jian Yun said so, she was still a little worried in her heart. In the current society, everything is fast. Love is also the same. If it fits, it will be together. If it doesn't, it will be separated. Many people's views on love are already so casual.
Then, was Yin Che really willing to wait for Huo Qingcheng?
"Big Sister, did big brother make you unhappy?" Huo Qingcheng was very sensitive and noticed that Jian Yun was absent-minded all night. She held Jian Yun's hand and seemed to be hesitating. In the end, she could not help but say, "Big Sister, don't mind big brother's attitude. He has been very busy recently and very tired. The matters in the family are already enough for him to endure. That person started to act like a demon again..."
Jian Yun naturally knew that the person Huo Qingcheng was talking about was Huo Chengfeng. Although she had only met Huo Chengfeng once, she could often hear the appearance of this name. She could not help but ask the doubts in her heart, "Qingcheng, Isn't your big brother the general manager of the Huo's? But he stays at the Green Lake every day, doesn't he need to care about the matters of the Huo's? Doesn't that mean he is in a passive position? "
Jian Yun had asked Huo Liancheng this question before, but even though that fellow had an explanation, Jian Yun still felt that it was not the truth.
Huo Qingcheng was silent for a moment before she spoke, "Big sister, the reason why big brother did not tell you was because he was afraid that you would be worried. Actually, the Huo's has been fighting for a long time."
"Or is Huo Chengfeng fighting for power?" Jian Yun asked.
Huo Qingcheng shook her head, "Not only him, but also the shareholders and the branch of Huo Family. Grandpa is getting old. He is not in good health. My father took over the Huo's, but he has always been obsessed with art and is not a businessman. The benefits of the Huo's in his hands have been declining. Those shareholders have a lot of opinions about this. My grandfather, who is also my grandfather's younger brother, has started to fight for power... "
Jian Yun learned about the current situation of the Huo's from Huo Qingcheng. Simply put, after Old Master Huo retired due to illness, Huo Xiangqian, who took over the Huo's, was criticized for his lack of ability.
Seven years ago, Huo Xiangqian failed to invest in the resort and suffered a huge loss. He was impeached by the shareholders and wanted him to resign from his position as the president of Huo's. If Old Master Huo did not come from the hospital to stop him, Huo Liancheng would have made a military order to turn the tide. Then the leader of the Huo's might not be the Huo family's eldest son.
Huo Liancheng's military order was within a year. Not only was he going to recover the losses caused by Huo Xiangqian's business, but he was also going to increase the benefits of Huo's by 20%.
It sounded very scary. The Huo's was such a big company. A single point increase in profits was enough to open a company, let alone 20%. It was obvious that the shareholders were making things difficult for Huo Liancheng.
But he did it!
However, after this incident, the Huo family's position in the Huo's was not so stable, especially when Huo Xiangqian was not willing to give up the position of president. Later, Huo Liancheng and Huo Qingcheng got into a car accident and Huo Qingcheng became a vegetative state. Shen Faangqi's indulgence of Huo Chengfeng made Huo Liancheng disheartened.
