After leaving, Zhao Siqing turned to Huo Jingchen and asked softly, "you're actually worried, aren't you? "
Huo Jingchen pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Zhao Siqing held his arm and said gently, "the old madam is a person who has a plan in her heart. She will be fine. "
"okay. "
Huo Jingchen replied softly, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
Zhao Siqing did not ask further.
However, after this time, old Madam Huo fell ill again. Other than going to see her twice, Zhao Siqing did not go to her side to take care of her anymore.
Even the only two times the old lady was angry.
On the other hand, Huo Pengpeng and the old lady had been taking care of the Old Lady. They served tea and water every day, and they were very attentive.
No, it was more accurate to say that many people from the huo family had also come to the old lady. They wanted to be a filial son to help them gain a good impression of her.
Half a month later, Huo Pengpeng took care of the old lady and drank the medicine He probed, "grandma, there have been a lot of problems with the industry in Longhu recently. Brother also kicked out a lot of elders. Now, brother is using the land that was originally intended to build a house for commercial use... "
Huo pengpeng looked at the old lady's expression without batting an eyelid as she spoke.
"He is becoming more and more outrageous. Tomorrow, I will gather the directors to remove him from his position and hand him over to you. " The Old Lady spoke slowly, but she felt a little weak after just a few words.
Her entire person did not seem to be in good spirits. She seemed to be lacking in mental strength.
Huo Pengpeng felt a touch of joy in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She said gently, "I think it's better to call my brother over to ask him about his plans. After all, my brother's decisions these years have rarely gone wrong. "
The Old Lady snorted Then she coughed several times. "AHEM... even if he is talented, if he is arrogant, he will definitely fall. It's because he has suffered too little all these years that he thinks he is unmatched. "
The Old Lady paused and continued, "he can play around if he wants to, but I can't let him play around with the Huo family's future! "
Huo Pengpeng was about to say something else, but the old lady raised her hand to stop her.
"Okay, I'm tired too. I have my own thoughts. You go first. I'll sleep for a while. "
Huo pengpeng helped the old lady to lie down slowly. Then, she covered her with the quilt and said, "I'll leave after you fall asleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest at ease. "
The Old Lady seemed to be extremely tired. She closed her eyes and did not make another sound.
Huo pengpeng stayed by the bed for a long time. Her eyes were deep, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
After an unknown amount of time, the Old Lady's breathing gradually became even. She even let out a moan that was not very comfortable.
Huo Pengpeng reached out to check her breathing. After making sure that her breathing was stable, she called out softly, "grandma? "
There was no movement from the people on the bed. Only then did Huo Pengpeng slowly get up and walk to the other side of the bed. She relaxed her movements and carefully placed her hand under the Old Lady's pillow.
The Old Lady's eyes were tightly shut, but her brows were furrowed.
Huo Pengpeng's heart was in her throat as she searched for a while, but she could not find anything. She could not help but frown.
She waited for another ten minutes until the old lady turned over. She then moved to another position and searched until she took out a small cloth bag. Only then did she hold the cloth bag in her hand and quietly leave.
After closing the bedroom door, Huo pengpeng quickly walked to the bathroom and opened the velvet cloth bag in her hand.
There were two keys in the cloth bag, which made Huo Pengpeng's eyes light up a little.
