Ye Jinxin's heart tightened.

It's not just Zhou Hao's reaction.

Huo Tingdong's reaction was even more wrong. He didn't even have a phone call for seven or eight days. This is not his style.

Even if you are too busy to forget her temporarily, you shouldn't turn off or hang up every time you call him.

Moreover, even if he didn't call himself, the grandmother would call and ask if she didn't follow him. But Grandma didn't fight either.

It was obvious that something was deliberately hidden from her.

Ye Jinxin was more and more frightened.

This is not simply ignored.

Huo Tingdong... Is something wrong?!

As soon as the idea got into his mind, ye Jinxin suddenly got cold on his back, quickly straightened up and said, "Uncle Zhou Hao, tell me the truth, what's the matter with my father?"

Zhou Hao looked stiff, his eyes dodged and said, "what can I do? President Huo is now offering sacrifices to his ancestors in the northeast, and he is busy now..."

"Uncle Zhou Hao!" Ye Jin's anxious voice raised. "Tell me the truth. If you don't tell me, I'll buy a plane ticket to fly to the Northeast now!"

"No, no, no!" Zhou Hao quickly waved his hand. "If you go, Huo will always kill me."

Ye Jinxin held the cup and hurriedly said, "then tell me the truth and tell me everything you know."

Zhou Hao sighed, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said, "President Huo is not lightly beaten by their old man now. I'm afraid it's not easy."

"What?!" Ye Jinxin straightened up. "How could he be beaten?"

Zhou Hao looked embarrassed. "I heard that Mr. Huo was honest with the old man."

"Be honest about what?"

Zhou Hao coughed, "frankly, your real relationship with him."

Ye Jinxin's waist suddenly softened. Unconsciously, he bent his back and murmured, "I clearly... Clearly told him, don't say it first."

Zhou Hao sighed and said, "in fact, it's strange that Mr. Huo is too strong. When talking to the old man, there's no room to turn the world. Just say..."

Zhou Hao choked for a while. It was difficult to say "I want to marry you directly."

Ye Jinxin lowers his head and shrinks together with a distressed.

"When Mr. Huo was young, he made his family by selling arms. There was a smell of blood in his bones. When he heard that his son was going to marry his adopted daughter, he was not ashamed at all. Naturally, he felt that he couldn't live up to his face. The Huo family had a great career. This kind of thing can be said to be a scandal."

Ye Jinxin drooped his eyes, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were pale.

"Why... Don't you tell me."

"Mr. Huo must be afraid of you."

Ye Jinxin sat with his eyes out of focus for a while, contacted the recent events, and thought about Huo Tingdong's attitude. Then he suddenly understood why he resolutely refused to take himself, why he had to sneak away, and why he didn't even have a phone call for seven or eight days.

He just doesn't want to worry himself.

Just trying to avoid harm.

I just want to solve all the difficulties secretly without telling myself.

But she scolded him secretly every day and didn't believe him at all.

I just feel that I am the most wronged.

Ye Jinxin is really ashamed and wants to slap himself.

But now is not the time to blame yourself,

Ye Jinxin looked up at Zhou Hao and asked, "how's my father now?"

Zhou Hao shook his head. "The situation is not very good. It is said that he was beaten several times by the old man's walking stick and one of his ribs was broken. Originally, Mr. Huo was a clank man. This injury is nothing, but he stayed in the mausoleum area for several days. Coupled with the terrible cold in the northeast, I'm afraid he was seriously injured."

Looking at Zhou Hao's dignified face, ye Jinxin felt that his whole body was drained, and his heart trembled with fear.

Even Zhou Hao, who always reported good news but not bad news to her, said it was very serious. The injury on his body must be very scary.

Ye Jinxin's eyes were hot, and he kept lowering his head and muttering, "what should I do..."

Zhou Hao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Miss, the last thing Mr. Huo wants is for you to worry about him. He worked so hard to hide it from you, and you should not disappoint him."

Ye Jinxin's tears faintly hum, and he doesn't know what to do with the pain in his heart.

*****************

When she came back from the beverage store, ye Jinxin sat on the sofa with her mind empty. Until it was dark in the living room, she realized that it was evening.

Ben didn't want to eat, but when he thought that Huo Tingdong certainly didn't want to see her decadent appearance, he stood up from the sofa again.

In the refrigerator, he took out the dumplings left by Huo Tingdong and cooked more than a dozen for dinner.

But as soon as she ate the first one, she couldn't stand it, and the tears in her eyes fell down.

Dumplings are delicious and full of familiar flavors.

He does everything in this way. He always gives each food a unique fragrance, and changes patterns to make it for her every day. He raises her and has a tricky appetite.

Now I don't think the food cooked by Aunt Liu is delicious.

I don't know how he is now.

He eats dumplings here safely, but he may still be oppressed by his family.

What if Grandpa hits him again?

What if grandma feels sad and cries in front of him?

What he fears most is that grandma cries.

It's better to be beaten physically, but it's the most painful to be forced and threatened psychologically.

The more Ye Jinxin thinks about it, the more he is blocked. His heart, which was determined not to intervene, gradually tilts.

No, she still has to ask! Otherwise she would really be worried to death.

Ye Jinxin took out his mobile phone and dialed Huo Tingdong.

After the beep waiting tone, it is still the familiar prompt of "the number you dialed is not answered for the time being".

Several calls were made in succession, either no one answered or the call was in progress.

Ye Jinxin is annoyed.

Quickly sent him a text message.

"On the street today, I met my first boyfriend. He seems to be handsome again."
