In the study

As soon as Gu Lanqing stepped into the study, she immediately sensed the atmosphere inside. It was so tense that it was like a drawn bow.

Grandpa Huo was sitting in a chair behind his desk. In front of his desk, two bodyguards in black looked at Huo Yan with a guarded expression.

As for Huo Yan, he was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with his black handgun with his fingers.

His expression was cold, and his handsome face was filled with a murderous intent.

"Grandfather, hand over Han Shan Ao Xue." His eyes were cold.

"You're going to shoot me if I don't give you my word?" Old Man Huo laughed coldly.

Huo Yan didn't say anything, but his eyes were as cold as the old man's.

Her fair hands gripped the pistol tightly.

Danger was imminent.

"Huo Yan!" Gu Lanqing was afraid that Huo Yan would really make a move against Old Man Huo, so she hastily entered the study.

He put his hand on Huo Yan's shoulder.

The muscles in his shoulders were taut. It was obvious that he was in a rage.

"Grandfather, don't force me." Huo Yan glanced at Gu Lan Qing, then grabbed her hand tightly.

Gu Lan Qing's mind flashed with the scene of her taking the initiative to enter his room, but she didn't push him away.

He really seemed to care about that picture of the cold mountain and the high snow.

Why?

"Before my father died, he warned me time and time again that no matter what, he would find all of my mother's paintings. Right now, the only thing that is missing from me is this Freezing Mountain Arrogant Snow Diagram. " As if sensing the doubt in her mind, Huo Yan slowly said, "Yes."

He had to fulfill his father's last wish.

Gu Lanqing was slightly stunned.

It was said in the outside world that Huo Yan's father was from an unknown family and was born in an awkward situation. However, Huo Yan clearly knew who his father was and was present when his father passed away.

For the first time, she was extremely curious about Huo Yan.

Old Master Huo's words caused her gaze to suddenly land on him. "If you want Han Shan Ao Xue, that's fine. As long as you and Qing Qing have a child, you can leave it to me to raise. "

"Grandpa Huo!" Gu Lanqing looked at Old Man Huo in disbelief.

He already knew that she could not have children, so why did she still insist on this condition?

Wasn't this intentionally not giving Han Shan and Ao Xue to Huo Yan?

Or could it be that Han Shan and Ao Xue were truly not in his hands?

"Qingqing, the doctor only declared that you cannot have a baby five years ago, but that does not mean that you cannot have a baby now. "Even if you really can't, you and Huo Yan can still be test tubes. He just needed to perform another operation to solve the problem.

"I don't understand …" Gu Lanqing wanted to ask, but a big lump of cotton stuck in her throat.

Why did Old Master Huo insist that she give birth to a child for Huo Yan?

"Grandfather, you insisted on taking my child as a hostage to prevent me from harming the Huo family, right?" Huo Yan sneered.

"What backlash?" It was as if old man Huo was running away, avoiding Huo Yan's mocking gaze.

He sat down on a chair and looked at a certain spot in the sky. Then, he slowly said, "Huo Yan, are you the son of Snowfall after all?" "There is a saying that blood is thicker than water. I don't believe that you will do anything to the Huo Family."

"Blood is thicker than water? Hehe, twenty years ago, when you brought me back to the Huo family and gave me to Huo Rui to raise, Huo Rui didn't seem to even think about me being his sister's son. At that time, Grandfather, why didn't you remind him that blood is thicker than water? " A cold light flashed through Huo Yan's eyes.

Huo Rui?

Zichen's father?

Gu Lan's eyes widened as she looked at Huo Yan. She didn't miss the look of deep hatred that flashed across his face.

He was raised by Uncle Huo?

How is this possible?

She had been in and out of the Huo family ever since she was a child. Furthermore, she had stayed with the Huo family since her parents died. Why hadn't she seen him before?

"I already forbade him to return to A City. Isn't that enough?" Old Man Huo sighed. He looked at Huo Yan and said, "I was too careless back then, and I was too immersed in the grief of Xue Luo's death. I didn't expect him to mistreat you."

An icy chill rose in Gu Lanqing's heart.

Huo Rui had tried to kill him a few times already, but Huo Yan's words had always been as light as a feather. The words "abuse" came out of Huo Yan's mouth.

Looking at the mocking smile on Huo Yan's lips, he continued, "I just want to make it up to you right now." As long as you and Qing Qing give birth to a child, you can stay by my side. Everything in the Huo Family will be his. "

"I don't care for it, and neither will my children." The wealth that Huo Yan had amassed over the years was on par with the Huo Family.

"You don't care, but it's rare. Back then, the reason she entered your room and slept with you was because she believed that you were the heir to the Huo family after Zichen became a vegetable. If you don't accept everything in the Huo family, what are you? Just a fatherless bastard. " Old Man Huo squinted his eyes, a cold expression once again appearing on his face.

Huo Yan's hand, which had been holding Gu Lanqing's, suddenly tightened.

Gu Lanqing almost cried out in pain. She bit her lip as she stared at Huo Yan with deep hatred in her eyes.

So it turned out to be true.

She did say that five years ago, when she broke into his room.

But why didn't she have any memories?

She didn't even have the qualifications to defend herself.

It was as if Old Man Huo didn't notice the turmoil on the two's faces as he continued, "If you don't want to give birth to the heir of the Huo family, that's fine. Ye Zichen also had a half-brother, Huo Shou. "I will have Huo Qin marry Qing Qing and have her give birth to the heir to the Huo Family."

He smiled, and a cold light flickered in his eyes as he looked at Huo Yan and said, "But, can you bear to do that?" Qing Qing saved you, after all, and you've always been thinking about her for so many years. "

What?

Gu Lanqing abruptly turned to look at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan didn't even give her the chance to question him. He grabbed her hand and left the Huo Mansion in large strides.

Dartz Prombron, like a giant beast on the run, is speeding along the highway.

Gu Lanqing gripped her safety belt tightly, her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

When did she save Huo Yan?

How come she didn't have any impression of him at all?

She looked at Huo Yan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, with a panicked expression.

In the drizzle, the dim light from the street lamps shone through the window onto his face.

A vicious, baring of fangs and brandishing of claws formed at the bottom of his eyes.

The veins on the hand holding the steering wheel began to bulge, confirming that he was currently in a rage.

She was too frightened to ask a single question.

Until the car drove into a small district.

Here...

Her eyes widened as she looked at the familiar and shocking residential area.

How did Huo Yan know this place?

This was where her parents lived when they were in love.

The carriage came to an abrupt halt. Huo Yan still hadn't given Gu Lanqing a chance to ask any questions. He opened the door of the carriage and dragged Gu Lanqing out.

As the rain got heavier, Gu Lan Qing was completely drenched. Huo Yan gripped her wrist so tightly that she felt as if he was about to crush her wrist.

"Why did you bring me here? Who exactly are you? " She narrowed her eyes and could no longer control herself as she asked in a loud voice.

Huo Yan didn't answer her. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and walked toward the stairs.

Because of the age of this district, there wasn't even an elevator.
