After playing with the children for a while, Huo Xiaoran left the children to their own fun in the garden. He returned to his study and took out a precious notebook that was his mother’s belongings.

In the past, he had seen many complaints in his mother’s diary. She had complained that his father was an extremely irresponsible man. She had complained that he had let her down by letting her wait foolishly. She had even complained that he had been a deserter when he had cold feet on the day of their wedding.

Sometimes, her mother would occasionally lose control of her emotions and curse him. She called him a scumbag. However, it was very rare for her mother to lose control. Huo Xiaoran knew that his mother’s love for her father supported her self-restraint, making her unwilling to slander her father’s character without restraint when she was let down.

There was also a lot of warmth in the diary.

Her mother would say many things to her father every day, such as that she was pregnant. She would tell him gently, “Hubby, we’re pregnant. I’m so happy just thinking that this is the fruit of our love.”

“Honey, I’m nauseous. I want you by my side. But damn it, where are you?”

“We have a child coming into the world. A beautiful boy. I’m sorry he looks like me. But fortunately, he does.”

“I’m in a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. But why aren’t you with me? I don’t think I can go on. I hate you more and more.”

“Why did you disturb my peace? Why me?”

… .

In the diary, her mother did not mention her father’s name. At that time, Huo Xiaoran naturally treated this man as Old Master Li.

Now that he knew that Old Master Li was not his biological father, Huo Xiaoran looked at the diary again with a different perspective.

Qiao An walked in quietly and saw Huo Xiaoran sitting on the ground. She walked over and gently sat beside him.

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An and suddenly smiled.

“Grandma left?”

Qiao An nodded.

Huo Xiaoran handed the notebook to Qiao An and said, “These are my mother’s belongings. She wrote to my father in her diary. My father has always been missing in my entire life. After my mother was pregnant with me, she went for physical examinations alone, gave birth to a child alone, and went through confinement alone… At that time, I hated Old Master Li to death. Now, I know that I seem to have hated the wrong person.”

He buried his face in Qiao An’s shoulder in pain. “An’an, although the Li family has no obligation to take care of my mother and raise me, my mother was ultimately killed by Mrs. Li. I’m so conflicted. I don’t know if I should hate them.”

Qiao An patted his shoulder gently and said, “Brother Xiaoran, Mom caused Mrs. Li to have a miscarriage. It’s understandable that Mrs. Li will misunderstand that she’s a mistress and hate her for appearing. It’s just that her method of dealing with Mom is really despicable. I think you really have no reason to forgive her.”

“However, if the other members of the Li family are innocent, forgive them. After all, there’s a saying that every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor.”

“It’s very difficult to distinguish right from wrong in this grudge, Brother Xiaoran. The people who live in hatred will also suffer. So I hope you can not be stubborn. Treat the grudges between your mother and the Li family reasonably.”

Huo Xiaoran’s chaotic and complicated heart suddenly brightened. He raised his head and looked at Qiao An warmly. “An’an, you’re right. I should distinguish between gratitude and grudges.”

“Yes.” Qiao An smiled and nodded.

Her smile was beautiful and charming.

Huo Xiaoran suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips hard.

“An’an, I love you. I love you so much. Do you know that?”

Qiao An said, “Yes. I know.”

This intense kissing scene was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.

Xiao Ran saw that the phone screen was showing a call from the director of the neurosurgery department of Jinghang Hospital. He reluctantly let go of Qiao An.

“An’an. I need to take this.”

Qiao An’s breathing quickened and her cheeks turned red. She nodded shyly.

Huo Xiaoran slid the phone away, but pressed the speaker button. Then, he pulled Qiao An into his arms and continued the kiss.

However, after the call went through, an anxious voice sounded on the other end. “Xiaoran, it’s Director Huang. Your father is in critical condition in our hospital. Hurry up and discuss his treatment plan with us.”

Qiao An pushed Huo Xiaoran away and Huo Xiaoran replied breathlessly, “What’s going on?”

“Xiaoran, did you just finish your exercise? It’s like this. Your father seems to have fallen sick from anger because there was a fight at home. We found an angiogram on his head. After all, you’re an authority in this area and your father, so I applied to the hospital to let you join the joint diagnosis team.”

Qiao An quickly tidied Huo Xiaoran’s messy collar.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her and stroked her cheek while dealing with the call. “Alright, I understand. I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up, Qiao An looked at him eagerly. “Should I accompany you?”

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t wait to tie Qiao An to him all day so that he could stay close to her.

“Of course, I have to go.”

Qiao An explained, “Logically speaking, I should go. It’s just that if I go, I’m afraid the third branch will be upset. If they cause trouble for me for no reason, I definitely won’t be able to tolerate it. When the time comes, I’m afraid the old man will feel terrible.”

Huo Xiaoran said childishly, “If you don’t go, I’ll have a heart attack.”

Qiao An asked again, “What about the children?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Pass them to Grandpa and Grandma to relieve their boredom.”

Qiao An was speechless.

When Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An rushed to the hospital, they originally thought that everyone was waiting outside the ward door. However, to their surprise, only the second branch couple was guarding there.

Seeing Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An, Second Brother called out softly, “Fourth Brother.”

Huo Xiaoran asked, “What exactly happened?”

Second Madam was especially angry at the mention of this. In addition, she had always been sarcastic, so she said everything without hiding anything.

“It’s all because your third brother couldn’t control his lower body. He provoked a vixen and that vixen wanted to force a divorce. With your third sister-in-law’s personality, how could she let them have their way? She refused to get a divorce no matter what. Because of this, your third brother hit your third sister-in-law, and Zecheng hit your third brother until his head bled. The old man fell sick from anger.”

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An remained silent.

They did not expect such a farce to happen after they left the Li family villa.

Second Brother tugged at Second Madam and said, “Stop talking. Xiaoran isn’t considered a member of the Li family now. There’s no reason for the Li family to bother him with these troublesome matters.”

Second Madam pursed her lips and said, “He was raised by your father. He’s an adopted son, right? How is it unrelated to him?”
