Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 43 IOU 1
Chapter 43: Chapter 43 IOU 1
Tian Xingyun sat on the sofa, flipping through the photo album with a smile on her face.
She was looking at pictures of Huo Shaohua as a child now; he was really good-looking back then.
"Shaohua was very good-looking as a child, wasn’t he?" Grandma asked with a smile, sitting opposite Tian Xingyun.
"Yes, he was very good-looking as a child," Tian Xingyun nodded in response.
"He has a very strange temper, just like his father," Grandma said wistfully, seeing Shaohua always reminded her of his grandfather and father.
"Grandma, did his parents die in an accident?" Tian Xingyun asked cautiously, afraid her words might upset Grandma.
Even though she knew the topic would make Grandma unhappy, she still really wanted to know.
She had seen online before that his parents had passed away many years ago.
He started managing the company at eighteen, simultaneously studying and managing the company.
Everyone praised him as a business prodigy, managing the company well at the age of eighteen.
Furthermore, he had made a competing company with the Huo Family completely go bankrupt, leaving no chance for a comeback.
He was decisive and ruthless in his actions, never procrastinating.
"Shaohua was only five years old back then; his parents went traveling and never returned, leaving just us, the elderly and the child, to guard the Huo Family," Grandma spoke sadly of her son’s passing.
She had lost her husband at a young age and struggled to raise her son alone.
Watching her son get married and have children, she thought she could finally enjoy family bliss.
But unexpectedly, her son and daughter-in-law died in an accident, leaving the vast Huo Family and grandson to her once again.
She had to endure the grief and grit her teeth to keep the family together.
Luckily, Shaohua did well and didn’t let outsiders laugh at them.
He managed the company very well, earning respect from others.
"Grandma, I’m sorry I..." Tian Xingyun said tearfully.
At that time, Grandma must have been very difficult.
"It’s all in the past."
Tian Xingyun walked over to Grandma and sat down, hugging her and choking up, "Grandma, you worked so hard."
A woman managing the Huo Family alone was truly not easy.
Grandma was touched and patted Xingyun’s back, no one had ever said that to her in all these years.
She hoped Shaohua could get married soon, so she could pass the burden of managing the Huo Family to her granddaughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, Song Yi was unwilling to marry, and even hated the rules of the Huo Family.
This was also why she insisted on forcing Shaohua to marry Tian Xingyun.
It wasn’t just because of the child, she could see that Xingyun was a good girl.
Though she appeared weak on the surface, she was actually very strong.
In the coming days, she could probe into what kind of person Xingyun was.
She believed her eyes wouldn’t deceive her.
After chatting with Grandma for a long time, when Tian Xingyun returned to the room.
Huo Shaohua was standing on the balcony talking on the phone with Song Yi, he frowned and looked very unhappy when he saw Tian Xingyun walk in.
Tian Xingyun went to the bathroom, trying to walk as lightly as possible so as not to disturb him.
Entering the bathroom, she closed the door very carefully.
"Crash~" The sound of something breaking.
"Dear, is there someone in your room?" Song Yi asked doubtfully, she seemed to hear other noises.
"It’s the maid cleaning, I just spilled milk on the floor," Huo Shaohua explained, feeling very heavy-hearted.
He had never lied to Song Yi, but now he was almost always lying to her.
Tian Xingyun bit her lip, squatted on the ground, and picked up the broken pieces of the cup.
Now it’s a mess, he will definitely be very angry she broke his stuff.
She just wanted to wash her hands, but accidentally hit the cup on the side.
By the time she realized it, the cup had already fallen and shattered on the ground.
