Chapter 113: The Origin of the Jade Pendant

It was as if the anger he had suppressed for a long time had exploded in an instant. Mr. Huo snorted coldly and said angrily, “Don’t mention that d*mn illegitimate child to me again! From now on, pretend that this person never existed!”

Fortunately, the person who appeared in front of Mr. and Mrs. Huo was Huo Feng and not Huo You.

Mr. Huo looked at his son whom he had high hopes for. In the end, he did not vent all his anger on him and entered the study alone with a cold face.

Mrs. Huo pulled Huo Feng’s hand and sighed wearily. She coaxed him softly, “Little Feng, I know you’re on good terms with Huo Tian and want her to come back to our family, but when your father and I went to the Huo Family today and picked Huo Tian up personally, she was very stubborn. We talked to Si Huan thereafter… Sigh, this conversation is just inviting humiliation onto ourselves. That’s why your father is so angry.”

Huo Feng frowned. “What does this have to do with Si Huan?”

“Si Huan and Huo Tian have a strong relationship and are probably in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.” Mrs. Huo smiled mockingly and said with a cold snort, “It’s a pity that none of them know what’s good for them and are unwilling to listen to our suggestions as their elders. I don’t believe that the two of them, with such a great difference in identity and background, will be able to continue their relationship smoothly in the future.”

Mrs. Huo did not realize that Huo Feng, who was beside her, clenched his fists tightly when he heard her words, and his expression was a little distorted.

Seeing that Huo Feng was silent, Mrs. Huo thought that he was unhappy because Huo Tian refused to return to the Huo Family. She patted Huo Feng’s arm to comfort him and said, “Little Feng, don’t be sad anymore. Huo Tian’s refusal to return to the Huo Family is her loss.”

Huo Feng came back to his senses and nodded. “I’m not sad, Mom. Even if Sister refuses to come back, I can still contact her. Anyway, we weren’t together every day when she was at home in the past. It’s no different from now.”

Mrs. Huo frowned slightly and reminded him, “I know you still treat Huo Tian as your sister, but I think that she no longer has any feelings for our family. You don’t have to take her too seriously. Also, when you contact Huo Tian, take into consideration your father’s emotions. Huo Tian and Si Huan made him feel embarrassed, so he won’t be willing to hear their names at home.”

Huo Feng nodded in agreement, looking very obedient.

…

Huo Tian and Ding Chen came to Ding Rong’s ward. Through the window on the ward door, they saw Ding Rong half-leaning on the bed, her gaze fixed on the parasol tree outside the window. Even after they entered the ward and came to her side, she didn’t notice them. They did not know what she was looking at.

Huo Tian held Ding Rong’s hand. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Only then did Ding Rong come back to her senses and turn to look at Huo Tian, who was sitting by the bed with a worried expression. She smiled gently and shook her head. “I’m not looking at anything. I was just in a daze.”

Huo Tian pouted and was a little dissatisfied with Ding Rong’s answer. Although she was always very dull and could not detect other people’s emotions, perhaps because mother and daughter were connected, she could always rely on her intuition to tell if Ding Rong was in a good or bad mood. Now, Huo Tian felt that Ding Rong’s emotions were very different. She did not seem to be grieving or upset but instead seemed to be a little frustrated and bitter.

Ding Chen also sensed that there was something wrong with Ding Rong’s emotions, but he did not think too much about it. He sat down beside the hospital bed and asked casually, “Sister, why didn’t I know that there was such a jade pendant at home? I remember that our family had been farmers in the countryside for several generations. It doesn’t look like we have any family treasures.”

Huo Tian’s interest was also piqued. In order to divert Ding Rong’s attention, she put on a curious look and deliberately went against Ding Chen. “Who knows, there might have been a high-ranking official amongst our ancestors. Uncle, don’t belittle yourself, okay? Mom, hurry up and tell us if this jade pendant was passed down from our ancestors. Is there some bizarre story behind it?”

Ding Rong was indeed amused. “It’s not a bizarre story. Although our ancestors might have produced a famous merchant or high-ranking official, this jade pendant was definitely not left behind by our ancestors.”

Huo Tian tilted her head and asked curiously, “Then where did you get this jade pendant from? It can’t be that you picked it up from somewhere, right, Mom?”

Ding Rong raised her hand and gently caressed Huo Tian’s cheek. Her eyes were filled with all sorts of complicated emotions as she looked at her. She sighed and said, “Tiantian, this jade pendant was left behind by your father. During this period of time, you’ve never asked about your father. I don’t know how to talk to you about this either. Although your father has left us, it’s not that he doesn’t love you. The jade pendant he left behind is proof…”

Huo Tian and Ding Chen were both stunned.

Huo Tian had never asked Ding Rong about her father before. It wasn’t because she had a grudge against this father as Ding Rong thought. She just didn’t take this father who had never appeared to heart at all.
