Chapter 973: Love Token
Su Yayan’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by something. It hurt so much that her nose was slightly sore. She plunged into Huo Chenhuan’s arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Huo Chenhuan was slightly startled. He was both angry and distressed. “Why are you crying before I even cry?”
Su Yayan’s tears fell and she said with a sobbing tone, “Because I know you can’t cry. If you can’t cry, I’ll cry on your behalf.”
“You.” Huo Chenhuan reached out and touched Su Yayan’s head, letting him wet his shirt with her tears.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s not your fault. You can only blame your parents for being too kind, and he was too greedy, ruining your parents’ good intentions.” Su Yayan said indignantly, then she could not help asking, “You’ve said so much, but you didn’t ask him to help lure those people out. Wouldn’t everything you’ve done be in vain?”
“No, uncle is there. My task has been completed. Uncle will take over the remaining.”
“Oh.” Su Yayan nodded. “Then will he agree to help?”
“He will.”
“Are you so sure?”
“If he isn’t so stupid that he can’t be saved, he should understand that this is his only chance to absolve himself of his crime and atone for his sins towards my parents. With his selfishness, he won’t let go of this opportunity.”
“… Oh.” Su Yayan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little stifled.
It would be best if Huo Qihan was willing to cooperate, but would he be able to redeem himself? Why did these words sound so uncomfortable? Were his sins supposed to be discounted just like that?
It was as if he could read Su Yayan’s mind, Huo Chenhuan comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, he has many sins. Not to mention that he colluded with a few higher-ups of the company to evade tax, and disregarded the lives of others using unfair competition. Just the crimes of bribing others to steal our child, and colluding with those people to murder his parents and me are enough for him to die a horrible death. Just helping uncle and the others to arrest those gangsters can at most give him two or three more years to live.”
Su Yayan’s expression turned a little better. She snorted coldly and said, “This kind of ungrateful dog, even if he only has two or three years, it’ll be too easy for him!”
When she thought about how Huo Chenhuan’s parents had both died when he was young, and how his legs had become like that for more than ten years, he had gone from a kind-hearted and sunny lad to a person who was forced to become a feared and hated “cripple” overnight, he had to endure the criticism and gossip of others wherever he went for more than ten years.
And all of this had something to do with Huo Qihan. Su Yayan’s heart was burning with anger. She wanted nothing more than to run up to Huo Qihan right now and poke thousands of holes in his body with a needle, leaving him paralyzed on the bed for the rest of his life, so only his eyes could move.
After she was done being angry, Su Yayan’s gaze fell on the deep red rose specimen on the table, she frowned and said, “This specimen seems a little unlucky. Why don’t you keep it? If you like it, we have ready-made materials in the yard. I’ll make another one for you.”
Although she had not touched this thing for a long time, since she could make it when she was young, there was no reason that she could not make it now that she was older.
Su Yayan was full of confidence. She planned to call her mother in a while and ask if she still had the notebook from when she did her homework.
Huo Chenhuan looked at Su Yayan, then looked at the specimen and smiled. “No need.”
“Huh?”
“This is the first gift you gave me. From a certain point of view, it can be considered a token of our love.”
