Chapter 108 She was the one who drugged the old man.
Hearing that Wenrou was alright, Huo Yanchuan finally felt relieved.
At this moment, Peng Xiaowan also arrived.
She rushed over as soon as she heard that Wenrou had an accident.
Hao Gang is simply unable to take care of two newborn babies all by himself.
Besides, he's a grown man who's never been married or had children, so he has no idea how to take care of a baby.
Fortunately, Peng Xiaowan came to help him look after the two children, otherwise he would have been in a real mess.
Soon, Wenrou was brought out.
She had long since fallen into a deep sleep, her body was incredibly weak, and her face was deathly pale.
Seeing her like this, Huo Yanchuan held her hand with a look of heartache.
After Wenrou was wheeled into the ward, Huo Yanchuan stayed by her side until she woke up.
Wenrou felt as if she were having a dream. In the dream, she saw that she had lost the baby in her womb. Just like in her previous life, she held the baby's body without crying. She just looked at them and felt as if her heart had been ripped out.
She was completely desperate, always thinking that a second chance would save her children, but she still couldn't do it.
She had made so many efforts to change the outcome of this life, but she was still powerless.
Just as she was about to give up, Huo Yanchuan's face suddenly appeared in front of her.
He held her hand tightly, urging her not to give up.
She gently reached out and touched his face; she could almost feel her hand touching his warm cheek.
She wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Huo Yanchuan, our child is gone." Wenrou finally managed to speak after several attempts.
She kept calling Huo Yanchuan's name and burst into tears.
Huo Yanchuan was startled by Wenrou's soft crying. He rushed forward, holding Wenrou's hand tightly with one hand and hurriedly wiping away her tears with the other.
"Wife...wife, it's alright, the baby is fine, they're all okay." Huo Yanchuan said anxiously to Wenrou.
But Wenrou seemed not to hear anything, only repeating over and over again: "Huo Yanchuan, our child is gone."
As she spoke, she cried even louder.
Huo Yanchuan had never seen Wenrou like this before. He was used to seeing her as tough and calm, so this side of her made him feel even more sorry for her.
"With me here, they'll be fine, honey. Open your eyes and look." Huo Yanchuan kept comforting her from the side.
Wenrou continued, "Even if I could do it all over again, I still couldn't protect them. Huo Yanchuan, I'm not a good mother. I couldn't even protect my own children."
Gentle words were like a knife, piercing deeply into Huo Yanchuan's heart, causing him a sharp, aching pain.
"It's my fault. I didn't protect you well. It's all my fault, honey. Don't blame yourself."
Huo Yanchuan kept apologizing. If he had arrived in time, Wenrou and the child wouldn't have ended up like this.
He failed in his responsibilities as a husband and father; it was his fault.
Wenrou didn't know how long she had been crying; her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Only then did she finally wake up from her dream.
Seeing Huo Yanchuan by the hospital bedside, she looked at him gently and quietly for a long while before saying, "Huo Yanchuan, let's get a divorce."
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Huo Yanchuan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, wife, I haven't taken good care of you. I won't get a divorce. Please give me another chance."
"We've lost our child. There's no point in continuing like this. Let's get a divorce." Wenrou pulled her hand away from his.
"The child...the child is fine. You were just dreaming. The child is perfectly fine." Huo Yanchuan quickly told her about the child's condition when he heard her mention the child.
At this moment, Wenrou couldn't even tell if the dream she had just had was real. She had just woken up and hadn't fully recovered yet, thinking that the baby was really gone.
Upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, she was taken aback, and then she saw Hao Gang and Peng Xiaowan walk in, each carrying a child.
"Xiaorou, the children are here. They are all so beautiful, just like you and Brother Huo." Peng Xiaowan smiled and handed the children to Wenrou.
Wenrou was taken aback, looking at the child they were holding, and subconsciously asked, "This...this is my child?"
Peng Xiaowan looked at Wenrou like this, smiled and reached out to touch her head, "Are you silly? Whose children are these if they aren't yours? The doctor said you risked your life to bring them into the world safely. You're amazing."
At this point, Peng Xiaowan's eyes also reddened as she looked at Wenrou.
It was truly remarkable that the child was born safely; Wenrou risked her own life for this.
Fortunately, both mother and daughters are safe and sound. Otherwise, how pitiful it would be if the children lost their mother right after birth.
At this moment, Wenrou finally snapped out of her dream. She remembered that in the delivery room, she had given birth to both children with all her might.
He fell into a deep sleep before he could even look at them.
"My child, my child." Wenrou reached out and hugged the child in Peng Xiaowan's arms. Seeing them staring at her with wide eyes, she felt that all the suffering she had just endured was worth it.
The baby was born with fair and tender skin, big and round eyes, and although her features hadn't fully developed yet, she combined the gentleness and Huo Yanchuan's best qualities, making her incredibly beautiful. She was destined to be a stunning beauty.
Just now, Hao Gang and Peng Xiaowan were outside with their two children, and everyone who saw the children couldn't help but compliment them on how beautiful they were.
Hao Gang gave the other child to Wenrou as well, and placed both children beside her.
Seeing that they were all healthy and safe, Wenrou burst into tears of joy.
She thought she had lost them, but it turned out it was all just a dream.
The events of her past life left a deep shadow in her heart; the more she feared something, the more she would dream about it.
Thankfully, the children are all safe this time.
Just then, several footsteps came from the doorway.
Huo Tingting's arm has been reattached. Song Yulan brought her here to settle accounts.
Seeing that Wenrou and the child were alright, Song Yulan looked at them and became even angrier.
"You're all alright, but the doctor said that even if Tingting's arm is set, she'll still have long-term effects. Yanchuan, how can you treat your sister like this for this woman? Do you have any conscience?" Song Yulan shouted as soon as she saw Huo Yanchuan.
When Wenrou saw who it was, her face immediately darkened.
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly, shielding the child in her arms.
Wenrou was unaware that Huo Yanchuan had broken Huo Tingting's arm to avenge her.
"Get out." Huo Yanchuan didn't want to see them now, and even though Song Yulan was his mother, he didn't give her a friendly look.
Hearing Huo Yanchuan tell her to get lost, Song Yulan's face turned even uglier.
"What did you say? I'm your own mother! You're disowning your own mother for this woman?"
Seeing Huo Yanchuan's attitude towards her, Song Yulan looked disappointed.
How could she not be heartbroken that her well-raised son treated her like this?
All of this was because of an outsider, which made her hate gentleness even more.
"I haven't held your actions against Wenrou accountable because you are my mother. If you don't get out of here now, don't blame me for severing ties with you." Huo Yanchuan glared coldly at Song Yulan, his eyes filled with extreme indifference.
"You...you unfilial son, I've raised you for nothing." Upon hearing that Huo Yanchuan wanted to sever ties with her, Song Yulan immediately began to wipe away her tears.
"Mom, don't blame my brother, he was also misled," Huo Tingting comforted Song Yulan at this moment.
Hearing Huo Tingting's words, Song Yulan was even more disappointed in Huo Yanchuan.
"Look at your sister, she's in this state and she's still speaking up for you. How did you end up like this?" Song Yulan looked at her son, heartbroken.
Huo Tingting glared at Wenrou, her eyes filled with obvious hatred.
She never expected that Wenrou's baby would be alright, and that the baby was so lucky to be alive. It really made her furious.
"Brother, Mom heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to two daughters, so she wanted to come and see them too," Huo Tingting explained to Huo Yanchuan.
Upon hearing this, Wenrou reacted first. She hugged the child in her arms tightly and immediately refused, "No one is allowed to touch my child. Get out of here. You are not welcome here."
Huo Tingting didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to see what Wenrou and that spy's child looked like.
Why does Huo Yanchuan want to be the child's biological father so much?
"Can't you understand human language? I told you to get lost, why are you still standing here?" Huo Yanchuan looked at Huo Tingting, his tone carrying a cold warning.
Just then, Old Master Huo arrived.
"Let's see who dares to harm my great-granddaughter!"
The old man was followed by bodyguards; they had come to take him back to Beijing.
However, he still needs to finish dealing with things here before he goes back.
"Grandpa, look carefully. The child in Wenrou's arms is hers with another man. How can you be so confused at this point? These two bastards are not children of the Huo family at all." Huo Tingting wanted to bring the old man to his senses. She had already lost her last chance, but she was still unwilling to give up.
With a "slap," the old man raised his hand and hit Huo Tingting for the first time.
"What bastard? I'll say it again, he's a descendant of the Huo family."
Song Yulan was stunned when she saw this scene.
Everyone could see how much the old man usually doted on Huo Tingting, but now, he actually hit her in front of so many people.
Is this gentleness really that charming?
"Dad, what are you doing? There's no need for our Huo family to accept two people who have no blood relation into the Huo family, is there?" At this moment, Huo Jianjun also came over, looking at the old man with a headache and advising him.
Song Yulan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Dad, what kind of family is our Huo family? If people in Beijing knew about us, they would definitely laugh at us."
"What do you mean there's no blood relation? Wenrou's child is Xiaochuan's biological child. They have the blood of the Huo family flowing in their veins. You two bastards, the Huo family doesn't need you two who are blind to outsiders. You two get out of the Huo family when you get back."
The old man raised his cane and gave one to each of them.
Just then, two police officers arrived at the ward door; the old man had asked them to come.
Huo Tingting was still stunned by the old man's beating. She covered her face and hadn't come to her senses when she saw the two police officers coming over. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a strong bad feeling.
At this moment, the old man also looked at Huo Tingting and announced to everyone with a disappointed expression: "From today onwards, Huo Tingting has no relationship with the Huo family anymore. She will no longer have the surname Huo, but will revert to her former surname, Xu Tingting. I no longer have a granddaughter like her."
"Grandpa..." Xu Tingting was stunned when she heard the old man's words. She looked at the old man who had doted on her since she was a child in disbelief.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Song Yulan asked in disbelief, "Dad, what are you doing? Tingting didn't do anything wrong. You usually spoil her so much, but now... why is this happening?"
Huo Jianjun nodded in agreement and asked, "Yes, Dad, what do you mean by that?"
"Tingting, I've already given you a chance, but instead of admitting your mistake, you've made it worse. The Huo family can no longer tolerate you." The old man looked at Huo Tingting with an air of authority, unable to believe that his granddaughter, whom he had raised for so many years, could be so vicious as to try to poison him.
"Grandpa, I really don't know what I did wrong. Please don't send me away. I want to stay by your side and take care of you," Huo Tingting cried, grabbing the old man's arm and pleading.
Wenrou couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this.
"Huo Tingting, you're the one who drugged the old man, aren't you? The old man didn't even drink that pot of water. Your plan failed from the very beginning."
Her gentle words shocked everyone present. Huo Yanchuan was also unaware that Huo Tingting had drugged him.
Song Yulan and Huo Jianjun also looked at Huo Tingting in disbelief. They couldn't believe that their daughter, whom they had raised for so many years, would actually drug the old man.
"How...how did you know? You set this up? You bitch, you're the one who ruined me!" Huo Tingting couldn't accept the fact that her plan had been exposed, and she pounced on Wenrou.
Huo Yanchuan stood in front of Wenrou, raised his hand, and flung her away.
Huo Tingting bumped into Song Yulan and Huo Jianjun behind her. Song Yulan looked at Huo Tingting and asked with a disappointed expression, "Tingting, why did you do this?"
The Huo family treated her like family, so what did she do?
"Why? You've raised me for so many years, don't you know how much I love Huo Yanchuan? I've loved him for so many years, and I don't mind that he can't have children, but he'd rather marry a country woman who's pregnant with another man's child, and he won't even look at me. Why? What is it that I, Huo Tingting, am lacking? Huo Yanchuan, why don't you like me?"
Huo Tingting's insane words stunned everyone present.
