In the Mu Rong family, Bai Qing sat in the room where her father used to stay for a long time.
No matter who spoke to her, she didn't seem to hear them.
Should not not answer, do not argue.
Murong Qingxue was truly helpless against her. Her mouth was about to go dry.
She had spoken the truth, but in the end, she only said one sentence.
"Aunt, I just want to be alone."
His words almost made Mu Rong Qing Xue choke to death. She could only give up.
Grandma and grandpa stood outside the room and saw Murong Qingxue return in disappointment.
They could only silently shake their heads and sigh. The grandfather let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, this child is as stubborn as her father. No one can change what they have decided, and she'll have to rely on herself to walk it out. "
Grandma saw that the old man was not in a good mood so she quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, what's the rush? Can't you let your granddaughter stay at home for a few days? If she wants to be quiet, then let her be quiet. After experiencing so many things, she knows what she's doing. "
Hearing the old woman's words, the old man nodded, his mood much more relaxed.
He muttered, "Why hasn't that Huo fellow come yet? Could it be that he was being held up by that old man Huo? "Don't tell me these two kids will just leave like that?"
When Murong Qingxue heard this, she immediately said indignantly: "Dad, what are you saying? We have all seen how diligently that Huo Yunchen has treated us. Even if there was a small problem, it would not dissipate. "
The old man looked at his daughter and shook his head, sighing, "Alright, I won't disperse, I won't disperse."
Inside the house, Bai Qingqing hugged her father's deathbed and shed tears.
She didn't want to hear it, but every word they said was forced into her ears like a stone in her heart.
The two words, Huo Yunchen, were very unfamiliar and distant to her.
However, she could hear it all the time. It was like an echo that reverberated in her heart as it came from all directions and tightly wrapped around her.
"Yun Chen, you're here. Your grandfather was talking about you just now." Seeing that Huo Yun Chen had arrived, Murong Qingxue was filled with joy.
It was great that he was here, but it proved that he was just being gentle.
As long as Huo Yun Chen insisted on coaxing her, they would eventually make up for it.
"Aunt, Grandpa, Grandma, where's Qing Qing?"
Huo Yun Chen smiled politely before asking Qing Qing for her whereabouts.
Mu Rong Qing Xue pointed upstairs and said softly, "I'm not in a good mood right now. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Yeah, I know."
Huo Yun Chen strode past the three and went upstairs, eager to see her.
However, when Bai Qingqing saw that he had arrived, she intentionally closed the door and locked it tightly.
No matter how much he knocked on the door, she wouldn't open it.
"Qingqing, open the door and let me in. I know you're blaming me for hating me now, but will you let me explain? I didn't do it all to protect my mother, and I did it all for you. I didn't want you to be as miserable as you are today. "
Huo Yun Chen rushed to explain as he knocked on the door.
But there was no movement inside the door, no reaction at all.
He would have preferred her to be angry, to hit him, to curse him, to shout at him.
However, she had chosen the kind of silence that could drive people insane.
"Qing Qing, can you say a word? "Don't ignore me. Tell me what you need to do so that you won't be angry with me. Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Huo Yun Chen knocked on the door, his hands growing weaker and weaker. His words were filled with a heartbreaking helplessness.
Mu Rong Qing Xue couldn't stand watching this any longer, so she could only go up and try to persuade him.
"Yun Chen, why don't you go back first?" Are there any children left to take care of at home? If a child can't see his mother, and he can't see his father, they'll be scared. "
Mu Rong Qing Xue purposely said those words loudly. If a heartless woman mentioned a child, she would definitely be moved.
Huo Yun Chen retracted his hand and nodded his head.
He understood what Murong Qingxue meant. Luckily, she didn't have to forgive him, but she continued to get angry at him.
But, child, she would not ignore it.
"Let's go back, let Qingqing calm down."
His grandparents also tried to persuade him to go back. Huo Yun Chen smiled and said in a low voice, "Qing Qing will have to trouble grandma and aunt to help me take care of her. I'll come pick her up tomorrow."
"Don't worry, she'll be fine with us."
The three of them sent Huo Yun Chen off, sighing and shaking their heads.
"This child is truly pitiful. Who did I offend, how did I meet such a vicious and merciless mother? " Murong Qingxue grumbled in indignation.
Grandma also sighed and said, "Actually, we can't just care about that Shen woman. If we really have to discuss this, then your father and I have a part to play as well."
Hearing this, the old man's face immediately darkened as he yelled in displeasure, "Old woman, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm just opposing my son's relationship with a daughter surnamed Xia, and I didn't hurt anyone. "
"You're still talking about you? If you hadn't opposed it back then, the two of them wouldn't have caused so much trouble already." Your son has never been married before. Even after death, he still has to be buried together with his daughter surnamed Xia.
"You old woman, it's been so long. You'll die if you don't mention it."
"I feel sorry for the children."
The old lady wiped her tears as she spoke.
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Murong Qingxue quickly pulled away.
"Okay, okay. If you want to look forward, you can't just keep looking back at that stupid thing, right? Dad, Mom, let's be happy. Mom, let's go and see if there's anything in the garden. We can make something nice for Qingqing in the afternoon. "
Murong Qingxue supported the old lady to the front yard to endure the food. The old man stood on the spot and looked at the old lady's staggering back. He felt as if he had stuffed a bundle of cotton into his heart.
All these years, he had always argued with her, always argued with her.
He was adamant on defending his stubbornness in the past, but in truth, he knew it the best.
It was just that he did not dare to admit his mistakes.
He thought that now that the Mu Rong family had Qing Qing, Tian Tian would have her own successor.
However, he didn't expect the white-haired man to send the black-haired man. His only granddaughter had caused a discord between husband and wife due to his mistake.
Thinking of this, the old tutor went upstairs on his walking stick.
"Qing Qing, it's grandpa. Huo Yun Chen has already left. Please open the door and let me talk to you."
A moment later the door opened and the old man looked into Bai Qingqing's eyes.
With bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that he had been crying.
He was still smiling in front of him, acting as if nothing had happened.
"Grandpa, why didn't you go for a nap? Am I disturbing you? "
Bai Qingqing did not dare to look her grandfather in the eye as she lowered her head and said softly.
His grandfather took a step forward and gently shook his hand. He pretended to be serious and said, "Let's go. Grandfather wants to fish. Accompany grandpa to the lake in the forest to catch two fish. We'll boil some fish soup tonight."
Bai Qing wanted to lock herself in her room and not go anywhere, but she really couldn't refuse her grandfather.
He could only brace himself and follow his grandfather.
