He took the opportunity to throw away the Huo servant's hand, pointed at Huo Qidong's nose and said mercilessly:
"Huo Qidong, from today on, the friendship between our Song family and your Huo family ends here. All cooperation in business will stop! Whoever is your Huo family's friend will be the enemy of our Song family from now on!"
As he said that, he picked up an ashtray at hand and smashed it on the glass coffee table.
With several "bang" sounds, the glass shattered.
People also walked away.
In the room, the air solidified again, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at Huo Qidong.
Huo Qidong stood there without speaking, his facial muscles trembled twice, and suddenly he violently coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Before Yue Ying, Huo Ruyu and others could scream, they clutched their chests and fell heavily to the ground.

Santa Maria Private Hospital.
That night, Huo Qidong vomited blood and fainted, and was sent to a nearby hospital.
The doctor said that he had suffered from lung cancer. Although he had undergone surgery and had taken good care of himself over the years, he was still old and frail, and he was no longer as good as when he was younger. After such a stimulation, he couldn't bear it and would vomit blood.
Although there is no immediate threat to his life, to be on the safe side and avoid recurrence of lung cancer, it is still recommended to stay in the hospital for a while and recuperate.
So when Huo Qidong's body became more stable, the Huo family transferred him to a private hospital owned by the Huo family.
The scandal was exposed in public, and he was embarrassed in front of the juniors. In addition, Song Huaian dropped his words that day and broke off diplomatic relations with the Huo family. In just a few days, Huo Qidong seemed to have lost his energy and spirit, and his whole body had aged dozens of years.
Year.
Originally, he was well maintained and did not look like someone over seventy years old. He looked to be in his early fifties at most.
After such a fuss, I got back to my original shape.
Su Mi accompanied Huo Shenxiu to the hospital twice, and saw Huo Qidong lying on the hospital bed. Most of his hair was white, his skin was rapidly shrinking and dry, and even his back was rickety.
That night, Su Mi's play ended early. After returning to Huayuan, she accompanied Huo Shenxiu to Santa Maria.
Huo Qidong's ward is located in a small three-story bungalow in the hospital.
He was the only one in the entire three-story bungalow. The window faced a lake, and the environment was elegant.
The medical instruments are all the most advanced and sophisticated.
The decoration in the ward is comparable to international six-star hotel standards.
Doctors and nurses are on call 24 hours a day and will come immediately if anything happens.
This kind of medical environment is one of the best in Tancheng, but in Su Mi's view, it seems so deserted, pitiful, and lonely.
Huo Qidong could only lean on the hospital bed alone every day, looking out the window thinly and lonely.
Huo Ruyu was still angry and resentful towards Huo Qidong. She learned that Huo Qidong was fine and had rarely visited him except for occasional phone calls.
Yue Ying came to visit with Huo Lang every three days, but every time she came there she had a purpose. She was either asking when her son would be able to join the Huo Group, or she was hinting that the entire Huo Group's property could not be left in the hands of Huo Shenxiu alone.
Huo Qidong was so annoyed that he finally refused to let mother and son come back.
Therefore, if Huo Shenxiu hadn't taken Su Mi there every few days, I'm afraid this place would have become an isolated island and no one would care about it.
During today's visit to the doctor, Su Mi felt that Huo Qidong's condition seemed to be worse than before.
I feel a little out of breath when I speak.
Stop and take a long rest after every few words.
Halfway through, Huo Qidong's attending doctor called Huo Shenxiu out and spoke for a long time.
After the visit, Huo Shenxiu asked Huo Qidong to have a good rest and left the ward with Su Mi.
Su Mi walked with Huo Shenxiu toward the elevator, and then tried to test: "The old man looks very low-energy."
When Huo Shenxiu saw that she had noticed, he stopped suddenly, lowered his eyes, and stared at her: "The doctor called me out just now and said that the old man's lung cancer has recurred."
She was surprised, but not surprised at all.
After all, the excitement this time is quite big.
"Then old man..."
Huo Shenxiu knew what she wanted to ask: "A few months at most. Maybe not yet. I will probably have to spend the rest of the days in the hospital."
Her eyes moved but she said nothing, only looking back in the direction of Huo Qidong's ward.
I never expected that the head of the dignified Huo family, who was once considered a romantic young man in the powerful Tancheng business district, would end up like this in his later years.
The cancer recurred due to stimulation, and one person was left alone in the hospital waiting to die.
His daughter didn't even want to come see him.
The eldest daughter-in-law and grandson wanted to see him, but it was all for their own benefit.
At the end of his life, there were few people around him who were sincere to him.
But to be honest, she had no sympathy at all.
When Huo Qidong was young, how could he be sincere to his first wife?
Everything he is doing now is his own fault, no different from others.
Finally, she heard Huo Shenxiu break the silence: "How did you know about the old man's affair with Song Huaian's wife Bai Lan?"
I've wanted to ask her about this for a long time.
I just never had the chance.
That day, Huo Qidong's secret was exposed. After the turmoil broke out in the Huo family, it became a mess and there were too many things.
Su Mi had known for a long time that he would ask her, and she had already thought about how to answer after so many days. She put her right hand on the happy face on her left wrist and rubbed:
"Actually, I only found out about it when I overheard the old man talking to the housekeeper that night when I stayed with you at Huo's house. The next day, I checked with you and confirmed the matter."
"Is it really just overheard?" His sharp gaze lingered on her face.
"Hmm." She couldn't say that she knew Huo Qidong's secret because of this ancient jade bracelet and a dream.
He stared at her eyebrows and finally believed her without further investigation:
"So, you deliberately dragged Ruyu out to let her know about it, and then used her mouth to expose it?"
Ruyu has always stood up for her deceased mother.
I always feel that Huo Qidong spent his whole life and his mother spent her whole life cleaning up his mess, which is too unfair and not worth it.
Now that she learned that Huo Qidong actually had an affair with the Song family's wife, who was also a close friend of her mother, Ruyu couldn't help it.
This little woman put a lot of thought into arranging this scene.
Su Mi looked at him. Hidden by the thin mask, she couldn't see his expression, and she didn't know if he was unhappy. She subconsciously tried to figure out his thoughts. If he was unhappy, he would have lost his temper after so many days.
Well, we don’t have to wait until today, so we mustered up the courage and nodded:
"I just want the Song family to stop pestering you and not forcing you to divorce me. I didn't expect it to get to this point. I'm sorry, second uncle."
His eyes slid across her face solemnly: "I remember I told you, don't say sorry to others easily."
She felt relieved immediately, it seemed that he was not angry with her.
