Chapter 268: Poor Little Mingzhe
Old Man Huo waved to Lan Yu, but Lan Yu stood there motionless, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Come on, come to grandpa." The gloomy look on Old Man Huo's face when he faced Huo Xinmei and others had long since disappeared, replaced by a smiling and kind look.
Lan Yifeng felt a little trembling in her heart. Old Man Huo's surprised expression just now had already caught her eye. Did he see something?
Don't do it...
"Lan Yu, go over and let grandpa take a look at you." Huo Qingcang pushed Lan Yu gently, and Lan Yu walked over reluctantly.
Old Man Huo stretched out his hand and pulled Lan Yu close to him. He looked up and down, left and right, and it looked like, really, this child looked exactly like Huo Qingcang when he was a child.
"You are not mistaken?" Old Man Huo's eyes slid over Fu Tianlei, Huo Qingcang, and finally landed on Lan Yifeng's face, "Are you sure that girl is Tianlei's child?"
It seemed to him that this child had blood from the Huo family.
Lan Yifeng actually knew what Old Man Huo was suspecting, but she pretended to be confused: "Grandpa, we were not mistaken."
Old Man Huo let go of Lan Yu's hand without saying a word, and asked Zhou Shutong to bring Jin'er over and take a closer look.
Well, this child does look a bit like Fu Tianlei when he was a child, and a bit like Huo Qingcang when he was a child. After all, these cousins looked quite similar when they were young.
When Xuanxuan saw her brother and Jin'er running to the old man, she also ran over and called Old Huo sweetly: "Hello, grandpa."
Old Man Huo came over in response, and when he saw Xuanxuan's cute little face, another flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
What's wrong with him today? Everyone looks like Huo Qingcang when he was a child. For example, Lan Yu's face shape, nose and mouth are indeed very similar. And the girl in front of her, her eyes and mouth are also similar.
Huo Qingcang seems to be.
"Grandpa, the children have just finished school, let them wash their hands first." Lan Yifeng was afraid that if he kept staring like this, problems would really arise, so he quickly diverted his attention.
Old Man Huo looked away, nodded, and asked the servants to take the four children to wash their hands. After the children were gone, he clicked his tongue and said: "Lan Yatou, your three children do look a bit alike.
"
"Ah? Really? I didn't even notice." Lan Yifeng pretended to be surprised, and then suddenly realized: "Maybe it's because the three of them have been together for a long time that they look more and more alike. They look like a couple.
A truth."
Old Lan nodded slightly, maybe he was overthinking it.
However, the more he looked at Lan Yu, the more he liked her. During dinner, he even asked Lan Yu to sit next to him and only gave Lan Yu food.
At this time, Huo Mingzhe's face became a little gloomy. His great-grandfather liked him the most, but he had never served him food. Why did Lan Yu take away the only favor he had when he came?
He put down his chopsticks with an unhappy snap, and Old Man Huo turned his head and asked, "Mingzhe, why did you eat so little today?"
Mingzhe felt so uncomfortable, but he had a stubborn personality and pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Eat more, and you will grow taller in the future."
Huo Mingzhe secretly looked up at his great-grandfather, feeling even more sad. His great-grandfather advised him to eat more, but he still didn't give him any food.
Tears began to well up in his eye sockets. After saying "I'm full," he jumped off the chair and ran out.
The Huo family's villa on the mountainside was very large, and the garden occupied a large area. Huo Mingzhe turned into the dark bamboo forest, squatted down, and couldn't help crying anymore.
He cried so quietly that it was almost inaudible.
She was crying so hard that she didn't even notice the footsteps coming from behind her.
Lan Yifeng was just about to step forward and ask Mingzhe why he was crying, but saw a figure who was one step ahead of her, approaching Huo Mingzhe from the other side, and then squatted down in front of the little guy.
She stopped and stood quietly in the bamboo forest, listening to Huo Qingcang ask softly: "Mingzhe, what's wrong?"
Mingzhe stopped crying for a moment and bit his lip with his small, white teeth.
Huo Qingcang didn't touch him and tried to make his voice sound soft: "Why are you crying here?"
"I...I don't want to cry in front of you and let you laugh at me." Mingzhe finally spoke. Although his voice was not loud, you could still hear that he was suppressing his anger.
"Then why are you crying?"
As soon as Huo Qingcang said these words, Huo Mingzhe howled out, crying but not speaking.
Huo Qingcang picked up Huo Mingzhe and patted the little guy on the head: "Okay, okay, don't cry."
"Dad..." Huo Mingzhe was a little surprised. This was the first time that his father took the initiative to hug him.
With tears in his eyes, he asked in a tearful tone: "Dad, what's wrong with Mingzhe? Why doesn't dad love me? Why did mom abandon me? Now even grandpa likes the boy named Lan and doesn't love me anymore.
, Grandpa was the only one who loved me the most, but now he doesn’t love me anymore, wuwuwu..."
"Why, dad likes Lan Yu, and grandpa also likes Lan Yu, more than me. What's wrong with me..." Huo Mingzhe wiped his eyes with both hands, but he still couldn't stop the sad tears from falling.
The night wind blew in waves, rustling in the bamboo forest. The round moon finally moved out from the thick clouds, and the bright moonlight spilled into the bamboo forest.
Huo Qingcang looked at Huo Mingzhe's sad and crying face, and his heart throbbed. He had ignored this child for too long.
Because he didn't love his mother, and because such a son suddenly appeared when he woke up from illness, he has never been able to be close to this son, and even ignored his son's mood.
Now I realize that he really went too far towards Xiao Mingzhe.
Huo Qingcang hugged him tightly, kissed Mingzhe's forehead, and murmured in a low voice: "Mingzhe, daddy doesn't love you. Dad loves Mingzhe very much. He really loves you..."
Mingzhe's watery eyes widened in shock, and he began to stutter in surprise: "Dad... is it true?"
"Of course!" Huo Qingcang rubbed Huo Mingzhe's hair, "Mingzhe, please give dad another chance and let dad prove to Mingzhe that dad loves you very much."
Saying these words, he felt like a father for the first time.
Huo Mingzhe nodded and smiled happily: "Dad, Mingzhe likes you too."
Holding Huo Qingcang's neck tightly, he took the initiative to offer a kiss. Huo Qingcang didn't notice that something in his heart softened.
