Whenever Huo Yang went up against Huo Shen, he never failed to come off worse.
Fortunately, Lin Anning was likable, and soon she was chatting with him about their return to White Crane Village.
Huo Yang thought back to those difficult years, filled with emotion, and once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
It wasn't until Nie Wen returned that he reluctantly fell silent.
"Anning is back? Hurry, let grandma take a good look at you."
Nie Wen had always been in poor health, requiring the use of a wheelchair to get around.
Although she had been languishing and listless, the sight of Lin Anning seemed to revitalize her instantly.
Her face softened into a kind smile.
"You've gained some weight, and you look more spirited than before."
"Are you comfortable living in Hongqigou? Do you want to come back to Beijing? After all, grandma and grandpa are fine now, we can take care of you!"
Huo Shen wheeled Nie Wen to the sofa, helping her to sit up.
