CHAPTER 301 - INSTRUCTOR

When Tang Yu brought Mr. Zheng back, it was right when Huo Moting was in prison. He once again received a call from Huo Moting.

Tang Yu did not know that it took a lot of effort for Huo Moting to make this call.

Mr. Howe, I've already brought Mr. Zheng back. I can ask Mr. Zheng to give Xiao Xiao a lesson right now.

"Tang Yu, it's not convenient for me to speak right now. I might not be able to leave for the time being, so I'll have to trouble you with Xiao Xiao. Tell him, I hope that she won't give up on her dreams.

Mr. Howe, did something happen to you?

I've been reported as being a fake. There's no way I can ask Mo Chen for help because Mo Chen still has the Huo Family, so I hope that you can help Xiao Xiao. Even though we haven't known each other for long, I know you're a man of honor, so I trust you.

Tang Yu frowned, he never thought that Huo Moting would actually be trapped in a cage, Do you need help?

No, thank you.

had always been a person who had silently given his all. He might not express anything, but it had always been this way, and even now, his heart was still thinking about Gu Xiaoxiao's dream.

Don't worry Mr. Howe. I will definitely help Xiaoxiao. Even if it isn't for Xiaoxiao, I will definitely do it for you.

Huo Mochen went to the hospital and told Gu Xiaoxiao about Huo Moting's current situation, but he did not speak the truth, so after knowing that he could not visit him, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little sad.

Huo Mochen didn't know how to comfort his, but it was fortunate that he still had Lu Shanshan at his side.

Sister Xiaoxiao, don't worry, Mo Chen has already found a lawyer, he's a good friend of his. If his business is very strong, he can definitely save Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law definitely doesn't want you to be anxious right now, I remember brother-in-law always hopes that Sister Xiaoxiao can continue your dream, we all love to hear you play the cello, Brother-in-law will definitely think the same.

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "But right now, I have no way to play the zither. I've always been thinking about him, and I'm afraid that Mo Ting might not be able to handle the situation in the prison. Is this case really serious?

Huo Mochen shook her head, Sister-in-law, leave it to me. Believe me, I will definitely bring this brother out.

Gu Xiaoxiao could only nod her head, "Mo Chen, I can only trust you now. Once I have a chance to visit you, you must tell me.

Huo Mochen felt that with his intelligence, he must have already seen through his, but she never said anything about it. Huo Mochen looked downcast, and in the end, agreed, Sister-in-law, I won't lie to you.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with grief as she slowly turned around, Then I'll go back first.

Sister-in-law, let me send you off.

I'm fine.

Only after Gu Xiaoxiao left did Huo Mochen slowly sit down on a chair at the side. Lu Shanshan hurried forward, as she knew that the reason why Huo Mochen acted this way was because of her mother.

Country X.

In truth, Gu Ruqin did not run far, but just followed Lv Cheng unnoticed and ran to the other side of the house, hearing the house's cursing, Gu Ruqin slowly kneeled on the ground. She did not know what she was doing, betraying the Huo Family would end up with such an outcome, she had never thought about this.

Although her days in the Huo family were difficult sometimes, she never owed anyone in material matters. She had always been the wife of the Huo family and wouldn't be looked down by others. Especially since Qin Fanglan had always been good to him, and it was just that she was not satisfied with it.

Although she was also a university student back then, she had long since lost her ability to survive. All these years, she had been kept alive by the Huo Family, and even as a human, she did not have the slightest ability to survive. Looking at the nearby sky which was turning yellow, Gu Ruqin knew that it was getting dark, but now, she did not even have a place to live.

But Gu Ruqin still felt that she had made the right decision. If she stayed in Lv Cheng's home, she would definitely be driven by Lv Cheng without any dignity at all. Gu Ruqin thought to call Huo Mochen, but would her own son forgive him?

She had only just arrived in the country of X, and she already had such a look. Would anyone really pity her?

Gu Ruqin hesitated for a while but still didn't call Huo Mochen. She didn't have the face nor did she dare to call him, afraid that she would find out about the current situation of the Huo Family. He would definitely be arrested if he returned home.

Back then, Gu Ruqin was an English major, so his English was still passable. However, in this place that she was unfamiliar with, Gu Ruqin was still a little nervous, and proof of her status in foreign countries was also very important. Especially since Gu Ruqin had the face of a Chinese, coupled with her age, there were many places that did not dare to take her in.

In the end, it was a small restaurant's Lady Boss who took Gu Ruqin in because she felt pity for him.

Because she didn't know how to do anything, Gu Ruqin could only watch from the side in the beginning. That Lady Boss was also a kind old lady who seriously taught Gu Ruqin these survival skills.

Gu Ruqin quickly got to know the Lady Boss better, and she told her to the Lady Boss. In the end, this foreign lady boss didn't have any thoughts of rejecting Gu Ruqin. Instead, she told her a story.

When I was young, I always liked to tell stories about love. At that time, I felt like I knew a lot of stories, until I met the man I liked. That man unfortunately already had a wife, I really liked him, but he didn't want to get close to me because he had a wife.

And then.

Then, I can't pester him too much. After all, he was a pretty girl at that time and I felt that there were still many possibilities in my life. After walking around, I still ended up meeting this man.

Is he with you?

The woman smiled. If we're really together, you should still have a boss now.

Then what happened to you? Gu Ruqin rarely listened to stories, and she spent most of her time thinking about how to strengthen her position in the Huo Family, how to make Mo Chen live a better life, and even how to cheat out all of their wealth with Lv Cheng. She was indeed not a smart girl, or else she wouldn't have been tricked by Lv Cheng to the point that she had nothing at all.

"Later on, his woman died and I thought I could walk into her heart, but I gave a lot. My youth, everything that happened to me, but he was stone-cold. I also completely gave up on love because of this matter.

This is a bad story. Gu Ruqin sighed.

You know, many people actually don't even have a single piece of sweet talk. Don't think that your one-sided wish is a disgrace, as it isn't really a disgrace at all.

Gu Ruqin nodded, I was indeed one-sided, but I never knew that I was one-sided.

Stay with me. Perhaps you will find what you really want. I can help you leave this place then.

Gu Ruqin nodded.

The change happened one afternoon. The one leading the group wasn't a police officer, but a man that Gu Ruqin had never seen before.

You are Gu Ruqin? Lu Qinghe knew that his daughter was concerned about Huo Mochen, so how could he not personally come? He already understood this woman's situation, although it was not shameful, it was still the key issue for the Huo Family.

You must be Madam Gu?

You are? Hearing this, Gu Ruqin was still a little shocked, but she could guess that her peaceful days would end soon. She would have to pay the price for doing something wrong, and now, it was the so-called retribution.

The Lady Boss didn't understand Chinese so she didn't disturb him.

My daughter asked me to come find you.

Your daughter? Gu Ruqin was startled.

You may not know my daughter, but my daughter Lu Shanshan is dating with your son, so she asked me to find you. The current situation of the Huo Family is extremely dangerous, so you are the key to the Huo Family.

You are Mister Lu? Gu Ruqin stood up, she already knew about her son and Lu Shanshan, but she did not know that they had already started dating. Hearing about this, Gu Ruqin was very happy.

It's me, I'm Lu Qinghe. It's best if you follow me back to Madam Gu now. As for the Huo Family, I'll have to wait until you return home before I can explain it to the police.

I... But the money is not with me, it's with Lv Cheng.

We haven't found Lv Cheng yet. Do you know where he is?

Gu Ruqin did not show any signs of resistance and immediately nodded at Lu Qinghe: I can bring you guys to find him.

Gu Ruqin bade farewell to the lady boss, and she told her in the end, If you did something wrong, you have to take responsibility. The rest of your life is more than enough for me.

Gu Ruqin nodded.

He brought Lu Qinghe to Lv Cheng's residence, but Lv Cheng was not there, he was obviously afraid that Gu Ruqin would betray him, so he had already escaped.

Seeing that Gu Ruqin did not look like she was lying, Lu Qinghe decided to bring Gu Ruqin back.

Madam Gu, after you left, you brought a calamity to the Huo Family. Of course, I have no relationship with the Huo Family. Huo Mochen is your son, my daughter is still busy doing things for him. But as a mother, you don't even say a word and just leave your son at home?

Gu Ruqin's face was boiling hot, she was simply unable to say a word.

This morning, my daughter called me and said that Huo Weihan is now living in the courtyard. Your eldest son, Huo Moting, was taken away by the police, and now, only your son is left alone to support the entire Huo Family.

Mr Lu, I'm sorry. Can I go back now?

Of course you want to return, but the important thing is to find Lv Cheng. I'll be back home next Thursday, and then I'll take you with me.

Thank you, Mr. Lu. Can I call my son?

What Gu Ruqin did not dare to do, Lu Qinghe did not say anything, and only asked his subordinates to throw her a phone.

Lu Shanshan's expression was a little worried, but after hearing what Lu Qinghe had said, she couldn't believe it either.

Your mother was driven out by Lv Cheng to do some odd jobs in the Country of X. But don't worry, your father has already taken your mother over to his place. I will have my father …

CHAPTER 302 - WORRY

Thank you, Shan Shan. On one hand, Gu Ruqin was her own mother. On the other hand, finding Gu Ruqin probably meant that the Huo Family could be saved.

However, Huo Mochen still resented Gu Ruqin a little. Right now, the reason for her predicament was because Gu Ruqin ran away, and even though Huo Moting was still locked in the prison, and she had to bitterly hold on here because she wanted to pay respects to his own mother, she still felt sad when she heard that his mother was not well.

Mo Chen, if you have anything you want to say to me, just say it. You don't need to bear it alone.

Shan Shan, what do you think I should do to my mother if she comes back?

Lu Shanshan also became silent, Actually, I don't know, if my relatives made a mistake, should I forgive them, or should I not forgive them? Just like how I lost my sister, I never forgave myself for it, but my father and the others were still comforting me.

But my mother …

Madam Gu must be wrong to do so, but I believe that the Madam Gu also care about you. There are no heartless parents in this world, maybe the way she expresses their love is incorrect, or maybe she has other plans, but you cannot deny that she is your mother.

But the Huo Family is …

The Huo family's mistake was caused by your mother. One yard is one yard. Since your mother is preparing to come back, she must be enduring it. She definitely doesn't want to be a burden to you, so you just have to be like before.

Shan Shan, I feel that you are sometimes very smart. I don't even know when you can be this smart.

Lu Shanshan felt that it was interesting, Then it's possible that you won't be able to reach there in your entire lifetime, your Inherent Skill is not good enough.

You are my only happiness.

Don't be so sad. I believe that there are still many people in this world who love you and you still have a long life ahead of you. Who knows? At that time, you will realize that what you experienced before was nothing at all. Don't give up hope, I still haven't given up on finding my sister.

I will not give up. For the sake of the Huo family and my mother's mistake, since it was hers, I must help her make it up. You're right, there's no way to change the fact that she's my mother, and my attitude towards her can't be as cold as that of an enemy. That way, not only will she be hurt, I can't bear it either.

That's right, since this fact can't be changed, then we have to accept him and think of another way to view this matter. In reality, Lv Cheng is the mastermind behind this matter, at most, your mother stole my uncle's seal. Although I am not familiar with domestic law, this matter should not be too serious.

One more thing.

What?

Homer, who's my younger brother. If he isn't my father's child, what should I do?

Lu Shanshan's expression also froze, I don't know about this either, but are you sure that Huo Mo isn't Uncle Huo's son?

After what happened, I carried out a paternity test for Mo Mo Mo behind everyone's back. He really wasn't my father's child, he should be Lv Cheng.

When are you going to tell Uncle Huo about this?

I don't know either. I don't dare to tell him, but if my father wants to investigate this matter, then he'll have to pay criminal responsibility. I don't know how to handle this matter either.

Why don't you wait until your mother comes back?

Huo Mochen nodded.

After all, this was one of the Huo Family's most successful projects, and there were a lot of people involved in this matter. Huo Mochen simply could not differentiate who was the mastermind behind this, and in the end, the Everlasting Stone was still bought by the Tang, which meant that Huo Mochen did not have any other way.

He had neither money nor power, so he had no absolute authority in the Huo Clan Huo Mochen. It could even be said that many of the directors didn't trust Huo Mochen at all, and decided that they might as well sell whatever was of value, and then everyone could even sit down and split the profits.

Huo Mochen squatted on the stairs of the Huo Corporation's fire escape. He had been looking for Huo Mochen for a long time.

Mo Chen, what happened to you?

'Eternity' has been purchased.

Wouldn't that mean we've found the mastermind?

'Eternal' was taken away by the Tang, but other than a lot of people who participated in this purchase, no one knows who was behind it.

This must be intentional. Mo Chen, don't worry, we have a way. My father will be back soon. No matter what, I will ask him to help you. You must trust me.

But my brother can't wait. I can put down the Huo family for now, but my brother is still in the jail, you know the doctor from last time told me my brother needs some rest, but I can't even do that now, so I can only let my brother carry them around in the jail, I …

Mo Chen, listen to me. Don't do this. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do …

What should I do? What should I do, who wants to harm my brother, is it Tang? But I still have no proof at all …"

Tang, is that the one that belonged to Big Brother Tang Yu?

Yes, it's Tang Yu's company. I can ask Tang Yu.

I don't think Big Brother Tang Yu is someone who would do such a thing, but if you ask, maybe Big Brother Tang Yu would know something?

I …

Huo Mochen's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number, Lu Shanshan frowned: Who is it?

I don't know. Huo Mochen suddenly got a little nervous as if he had a premonition. This was a foreign number, and he felt that it could only be his mother.

Mo Chen …

Mom, it's really you.

Mo Chen, your mother knows that your mother has let you down, but this time, your mother truly knows her wrongs. When we return home, I will voluntarily surrender myself and not embarrass you.

Mom, when you left, did you ever think of leaving me here alone? I would be very sad, I would be misunderstood, I might even be attacked by the media. If dad and bro didn't believe me, I might not be able to hold on right now.

Gu Ruqin had not said a word the entire time, but she had long since sobbed silently.

I know you've always disliked my brother, and felt that he wanted to compete with me for the family property. But Mom, did you know that my brother was the one helping me during this period of time? He didn't blame me at all, nor did he vent his anger on me.

I'm sorry Mo Chen, it's my fault, it's all my mom's fault. Mom doesn't know, Mom is too willful.

Although I do not know why you left, but at least I have always believed that you had feelings for this family. It is because you have been busy chasing away the Aunt Lan and wanted me to steal brother's position. But now, I don't understand you. You are trying so hard to do this, but on the other hand, you want to escape from this home …"

I …

I'm your son. I shouldn't be saying this, but I really don't want people I care about to hurt people I care about as well. Dad and brother are both my family. One of them is lying in the hospital while the other is in the jail. Eternity has been purchased by someone today, and your son is sitting in the corridor crying for no reason.

Mo Chen, mom will be back soon. It's my fault. I will take responsibility.

Mom, I want to ask you a question. Huo Mochen wiped the tears off his face, his expression becoming extremely calm.

Gu Ruqin immediately said, Please ask.

Mo Mo, what are you going to do?

Gu Ruqin felt as if she was struck by lightning. You know?

"Weren't you telling me the truth? I don't dare tell my father or brother right now. It's hard for me to hide this secret all by myself. Mo Mo Mo is still a child, he shouldn't have endured all of this. However, you and Lv Cheng have left, and this child is now a child in name of the Huo Family.

"Mo Chen, I know you don't believe me, but mother really regrets now. Mo Mo Mo's birth was a mistake, I didn't want it back then, but Lv Cheng insisted on letting me stay. I didn't know that Lv Cheng wanted to leave behind evidence that I am together with him, which is to say Mo Mo's background.

It's impossible for me to hide this from my father. It's because of my father's current physical condition that I didn't do so, but once my father is well, I will definitely tell him. Otherwise, it will be unfair to my father. And, if Lv Cheng treats you very well, will you never think of me again in your entire life? "

That's not it, Mo Chen … Gu Ruqin's voice trembled uncontrollably, No, Mo Chen, it's not like that. I actually wanted to bring you along, but Lv Cheng doesn't want to, and I know you. You're a very kind-hearted child, if you know what I'm going to do, you'll definitely …

If I knew, I would have told my father to stop you at the beginning. Huo Mochen's voice became calmer and calmer. Mom, the fact that you've always been my mother cannot be changed. However, after you return, I will not hesitate to let you bear the consequences of your mistake.

Mom knows, as long as you still want me, you still want me. It doesn't matter what Mom has to pay. Mo Chen, Mo Chen, I miss you."

Mom, long distance is expensive. Is this Uncle Lu's number? As for the mess of the Huo family, I will try my best to clean it up. I will also take responsibility for the mistakes you made.

Mo Chen, thank you for acknowledging me, thank you.

Hearing the busy phone call, Gu Ruqin cried once again. She had never felt so sad before, never regretted so much before, but they were all right. At this point, the Huo Family, including Qin Fanglan, had not let her down.

No one could deny that this mistake had to be made on their own account.

After Huo Mochen hung up the phone, his expression became more and more strange, causing him to become even more worried.

Mo Chen, don't be sad. Let me hug you, okay? Lu Shanshan carefully held Huo Mochen in his arms. Although Huo Mochen kept on saying that Huo Moting had lost a lot of weight, Huo Mochen himself had lost a lot of weight.

His recent busyness and tiredness had completely exceeded the limits of a normal person, and Huo Mochen had already done enough.

Mo Chen, no matter what you do, I will support you and accompany you. I will bear the responsibility for your mother's death, and your fault is also mine. You are mine now, and I will not allow you to give up on yourself.

Shan Shan, I will be strong, I just can't face my brother and father, I don't know how to say it.

CHAPTER 303 - ACCOMPANYING

Xiao Xiao, Mr. Zheng has invited you over. Mr. Zheng said that you are the person with the highest talent in playing the cello, but you still need some guidance. I have already arranged a place for you to stay. Tang Yu knew that Gu Xiaoxiao's current emotions were not right. Because of the incident with Huo Moting, her mind had always been distracted.

However, Tang Yu had always been the most patient. Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao like this, other than feeling heartache, he had no other thoughts, but a pity that she didn't have the ability to help Gu Xiaoxiao, and other than completing the mission Huo Moting had entrusted him with.

Xiaoxiao, you haven't eaten properly recently, right? Of course I won't care about you. Don't wait until Mr. Howe returns, but your body is broken.

Tang Yu, can you help Mo Ting?

Xiaoxiao, I know you are very worried about Mr. Howe right now, but I really have no choice about this matter. The Tang is with my father, and you might not know that my father has some private grudges with Uncle Huo. Sorry Xiaoxiao, I am unable to help you.

It's alright, I know that if you can help me, you will definitely help me. I will train with the zither, thank you for bringing Mr. Zheng over.

Tang Yu shook her head, Even though I do know Mr. Zheng, I cannot take credit for this matter, because it was he who got rid of me. He truly cared about you, and he hoped that you could realize your dreams so that Mr. Howe could be at ease. No matter what, Xiaoxiao, I hope you will at least live up to Mr. Howe's painstaking effort.

Gu Xiaoxiao's expression changed. He had always known that Huo Moting was very supportive of his ability to participate in the tournament. But she didn't know that such a jealous person like him would actually have Tang Yu help him with this matter.

The Mr. Zheng that Mo Ting asked you to invite?

Xiao Xiao, you know that I like you, this is not a secret, the Mr. Howe knows that as well, but he is willing to entrust this matter to me. I also want to accomplish it seriously, Mr. Howe is a person that is worthy of trust, Xiao Xiao, you have good eyes.

Thank you for telling me this. I'm in a mess right now. Sorry, I have to go back now.

Tang Yu did not refuse, Xiaoxiao, I'll send you back. You're not in a good condition right now, so you need to protect yourself better for the Mr. Howe.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, and promised Tang Yu that she would send him home, and when she reached home, Gu Xiaoxiao went to her own guqin room.

Huo Moting had specially prepared this for him. He himself knew a lot of musical instruments, and was a person who liked musical instruments a lot, but Gu Xiaoxiao knew that this was something Huo Moting had specially prepared for him. He knew that he needed a quiet environment, and he also knew what sort of musical instruments he liked.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked to the front of the cello. There was no dust on it, because no matter how busy Gu Xiaoxiao was, she would seriously wipe the zither with the dust. Because this was given to him by Huo Moting, he had always cherished it.

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't control her tears and muttered to herself as she looked at the zither, Mo Ting, have you ever thought about what you have always done for me? I don't know how I can repay your love?

I really miss you.

Gu Xiaoxiao knelt in front of the cello as her tears fell onto the carpet.

I will properly practice the zither and bring you back a prize. I will definitely work hard. Gu Xiaoxiao swore silently, she was very grateful for what Huo Moting had done to her. Although she couldn't help with the current situation, Gu Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn't be a burden to Huo Moting.

Recently, Gu Xiaoxiao's sleep was not very good. Because Huo Moting was not by her side, Gu Xiaoxiao would always have nightmares about what had happened.

As the Huo Clan was weak, the Gu Clan was much more settled, especially since Gu Anan was not as arrogant as before. After knowing that he was not the biological daughter of the Gu Clan, Gu Xiaoxiao rarely returned to the Gu Clan.

Gu Xiaoxiao rejoiced that she still had Huo Moting to rely on, but now that even Huo Moting was not by her side, Gu Xiaoxiao could only rely on him.

The next day, it was still Tang Yu who came to pick him up. Tang Yu did not return to the Tang Family, he was afraid that his father would force him to pursue Gu Xiaoxiao later on, but the current Tang Yu, other than hoping for Gu Xiaoxiao's happiness, had no other requests. She and his father's views on this matter could not be unified, so Tang Yu did not plan to go home and find unhappiness for his father.

Xiaoxiao, have you not been resting well recently?

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, I'm always dreaming. Tang Yu, I just need to remember the road, so you don't have to come and pick me up every day.

Xiao Xiao, since it is an order from Mr. Howe, I will definitely accompany you. However, don't worry, I won't do anything that would exceed my limits.

Tang Yu, actually, you have already helped me for a long time previously. I am truly grateful, but I do not know how I can repay you.

Xiaoxiao, as long as you are willing to be my friend, I will be very happy.

Tang Yu, thank you.

Friends can't always say thank you. Tang Yu also laughed.

Seeing Mr. Zheng, she felt as refreshed as ever. Xiao Xiao, you're here?

Mr. Zheng, my apologies, I was in a hurry to leave that time, and I didn't even say my goodbyes. Thank you very much for being willing to come here to teach me.

Then thank you, Little Tang. I've seen this child grow up, and I've never seen him so concerned about anyone.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao's emotions were a little unnatural, Tang Yu hurriedly said, Mr. Zheng, let's not talk about this anymore. I've already told you, this time it was actually Mr. Howe who invited you here.

The Mr. Zheng snorted, That brat's playing the zither is indeed not bad, but I don't know him.

Tang Yu's face was a little awkward, but Gu Xiaoxiao still bowed towards Tang Yu and the Mr. Zheng, Thank you Mr. Zheng, thank you for coming, and although Tang Yu always says thank you, I still feel that it's not serious enough. This time, I'll properly say my thanks to you, no matter what happens, as long as I can do it, I'll help you.

Xiaoxiao, there's no need to be so formal.

The Mr. Zheng sighed, You youngsters, you truly are … Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Xiaoxiao, come train in the zither. Is Little Tang coming to spar with Xiaoxiao today?

Tang Yu nodded, Before Mr. Howe comes back, I will take over temporarily. Mr. Zheng, my zither is not very good, you have to forgive me.

We don't know each other yet. I taught you for a while when you were young, so I have confidence in you.

Tang Yu's piano sounded, but she was a little lost in thought while sitting in front of the cello. She remembered that Huo Moting had suddenly appeared in the dining hall and played a song with his. This was clearly her first time playing together, but it actually matched up to the sound of his zither.

Xiaoxiao, why aren't you playing? Mr. Zheng frowned.

Only then did Gu Xiaoxiao realize that her hand was still on top of the pillar without making a sound, seeing Mr. Zheng's awkward expression, Gu Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, I'm sorry Mr. Zheng, let's do it again, I'm sorry Tang Yu.

Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. It's been a long time since you last practiced. Relax.

Of course, Tang Yu knew that Gu Xiaoxiao's mental state did not belong to him because of Huo Moting, but Tang Yu had no way to make Gu Xiaoxiao forget about it.

By noon, the Mr. Zheng opened his mouth, Xiao Xiao, when you practice your musical instruments, the taboo thing is to not follow the music when you're practicing, and instead think about other things. Your talent is indeed very high, but if you keep on doing that, then I feel that your chances of winning are very slim.

No, Mr. Zheng, I will train hard in the afternoon. I must get the prize, it is very important to me.

Since it's important, then you must work hard and throw away all your emotions.

I know the Mr. Zheng.

After asking Mr. Zheng whether or not he wanted to go out for dinner, he found out that Mr. Zheng was used to eating at home.

Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be so nervous. Also, don't be so concerned about the award. The one Mr. Howe truly cares about is you.

Tang Yu, has something happened to Mo Ting? I've been feeling uneasy recently, and I really want to train hard. However, I keep thinking about Mo Ting, and I feel like he's in a bad situation right now. Otherwise, why would he never see me again?

Xiaoxiao, it's very likely because Mr. Howe really has no way of seeing you right now. Don't be like that, you have to believe in Mr. Howe.

I really want to believe him, but I realized that I don't believe in myself. I really don't have any way to peacefully practice the zither. Am I that useless?

Xiaoxiao, listen to me. I understand your situation, but you have to bring up your emotions. You cannot let them go.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Huo Mochen did not receive any good news, but he still had to meet the person in charge of Tang, Tang Hedong. In fact, Tang and the Huo Clan had always been on bad terms, and Huo Mochen did not know the reason for this matter, but since Tang Hedong wanted to meet him by name, there was no problem for him to go see him.

Hello, Mr. Tang.

Mo Chen, right? A while ago, Tang Yu seemed to have went on an adventure through an island with you guys.

Huo Mochen remembered that trip to the island, so he smiled awkwardly when he heard it.

I know that the Mr. Howe has been a little suspicious recently, right? Why is the Huo Family being suppressed so much? However, I feel that this cannot be blamed on other business people. The main reason is that Huo Weihan had made too many enemies during his time in office.

Mr. Tang, what do you mean?

Seems like my words weren't obvious? Tang Hedong laughed, I have already taken over Eternal Rest, I already know that you all are faking your debts. As a businessman, I can't stand watching such things happen, so I'm sorry Hutong, I'm preparing to sue Huo Moting.

You … So it's you? Huo Mochen immediately stood up, So it's you who wronged my brother.

What is Hutong saying? The business I am about to take over has such a blemish. As an eternal legal person, there shouldn't be any problem for me to sue Huo Moting for fraud right?

Why on earth did you frame my brother? Do you know that my brother is not in good health right now? You're going to sue him. Do you want him to go to jail?

Hutong, what you said is even more incorrect. Protecting taxes on behalf of the nation, this is the responsibility of every citizen, right? I am a businessman, but I am a law-abiding businessman.

CHAPTER 304 - PROVOCATION

Huo Mochen actually did not know what expression he should have. He did not know about Tang Hedong's reputation in the industry, but in this first exchange, Huo Mochen had already seen through it. Tang Hedong was obviously targeting the Huo Family.

Mr. Tang, how did our Huo Family offend you?

It has nothing to do with you. Tang Hedong laughed, However, even if you want to say it, it does have a bit of relationship. I don't like Huo Weihan for a long time, he obviously got such a good woman, but he still wanted to give birth to you with that shameless bitch your mother. Hutong, you were superfluous to begin with.

Huo Mochen was stunned in place.

Tang Hedong calmly stood up, Very good, Huo Moting will soon receive the summons from the court. As a person, I have a point that is similar to your father, that is to say, I must definitely do what I said.

What the hell do you mean? Huo Mochen basically didn't have any ways to deal with Tang Hedong.

Don't you understand? Huo Mochen sneered, turned and left. Huo Mochen slumped on the chair, if Huo Moting received the summons, then this matter was already decided, what should he do.

Mo Chen, what's going on? Lu Shanshan watched as Tang Hedong walked out, but Huo Mochen didn't come out for a long time. Lu Shanshan was worried about entering the room to look, but he realized that Huo Mochen seemed to have lost his soul, and his entire person didn't have any spirit left.

It was Tang Hedong who did it. He wanted to go to the court and sue my brother for this matter.

Why is the Mr. Tang making things difficult for you?

I don't know either. From what he's saying, he should have some sort of enmity with my father, but the Huo Family and the Tang never cooperate, so I don't know the specifics either. I don't know what I should do right now. Oh yeah, I need to go see my brother, I need to see my brother."

Don't worry, I'll go with you. Lu Shanshan supported Huo Mochen and because of this, his legs went soft and his brain continued to rumble loudly all along. It was probably because his emotions had tensed up for so many days, yet he still did not get anything.

What should we do? If I go to jail, how am I supposed to explain this to my sister-in-law and Aunt Lan? I have no other choice. What should I do? "

Mo Chen, don't do this. Lu Shanshan carried Huo Moting in her arms once again, and only when it was afternoon did the two of them go to the police station.

After Huo Moting's body became a little better, he returned to the prison. However, because of what happened previously, Huo Moting had always been kept in isolation, and in these days, Huo Moting was actually very relaxed. He had no way of knowing what happened outside, and as for what happened, he had already passed all of his materials to the lawyer, Zhang Wen.

He had always been writing a song, but there were no musical instruments here, so Huo Moting could only rely on his senses, although his body had not improved at all, but it did not seem to have deteriorated either. He was still considered to have recovered quite well, just that the food in the detention center was too terrible.

Huo Moting, someone is here to see you.

did not come for the past two days, he nodded his head and guessed that Huo Mochen had arrived. He followed the guard and walked out, and saw that Huo Mochen had a bad complexion.

Mo Chen, what happened to you?

Sorry, brother, sorry. Huo Mochen reached out his hand and held Huo Moting's hand. Huo Moting's hand was a little cold, but because of that, Huo Moting discovered that the temperature of Huo Mochen's body was extremely high.

Don't worry, Mo Chen, are you having a fever? Why are you so hot? You …

Brother, listen to me. I'm sorry. I might not be able to protect the Huo family.

Actually, in these many days, Huo Moting had always thought of this worst case scenario. Even if he heard Huo Mochen say so himself, Huo Moting only smiled, It's alright, we brothers are still young. If we really can't protect ourselves, we can still fight.

But brother, we have been bought by the Tang for eternity, Tang is not willing to let you go, he wants to sue you, and now there is a prosecutor for this matter, brother, it will be difficult for us to win this case.

Tang Hedong, why is he doing this? Huo Moting frowned slightly. He actually didn't remember the enmity he had with Tang Hedong. If he had to say it, he only knew Tang Yu.

I don't know either, but from his tone, it seems like he has an old grudge with father. Bro, that's not important, I went to ask Zhang Wen, so the possibility of us losing the lawsuit is very high. Unless Tang Hedong withdraws, this is a dead end.

Mo Chen, don't worry. Listen to your brother, you are sick now. Go back and drink some medicine, and if that doesn't work, you can go to the hospital. The Huo Family still needs you, and my mom, dad, and your sister-in-law all need you. If I really go in, they'll have to rely on you.

Brother, I …

Mo Chen, you've grown up. I know it's tiring for you to shoulder all of this, but at this point, everyone wants to drag our Huo Family down with us. Since I'm the representative of the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, then I will take on this responsibility, so you don't have to be sad.

Brother, this is clearly a false accusation.

If you can't find evidence, then you have ironclad evidence, you understand.

I don't believe it. If I really judge my brother guilty, then I will keep on appeal, keep on appeal.

Mo Chen, you have to calm down. I know that this matter has a huge impact on you. Although Tang Hedong and I haven't interacted much, the fact that Tang has been able to come this far shows that Tang Hedong is very capable. You must not fight him head on, understand?

Brother, are you telling me to just watch as you are taken away?

Huo Moting looked very tired, We have no other choice now, Mo Chen. The only thing you can do is to tell us Huo Family members not to let my matter affect our lives, and as for the matter regarding the Huo Family's bankruptcy, you can let it go. You're still young, anything is possible.

Brother …

Sorry, sir, it's time for the visit.

Brother … I …

Mo Chen, you go first. I'm fine here, take care of them.

Huo Mochen nodded with tears in his eyes and turned to leave.

Seeing Huo Mochen's expression, Lu Shanshan knew that he had not obtained any useful method, Mo Chen, don't be like this, you … Why are you so hot?

Let's go to the hospital. Huo Mochen's expression was very gloomy, his footsteps were slow, Lu Shanshan was startled, Why are you going to the hospital?

I'm sick. I'm going to see a doctor.

Lu Shanshan felt that this kind of Huo Mochen was even more painful, but she didn't know how to comfort Huo Mochen right now. After encountering such a big problem, there was no power that could solve it.

Gu Xiaoxiao went back home and trained his zither today, but she did not improve much. The Mr. Zheng said that it was actually very difficult for Gu Xiaoxiao's zither playing to improve to such an extent, and she would need to practice more to do so.

After returning home, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have the slightest desire to play the zither. She looked at the table where the two should have been sitting, but now it was empty and there was nothing left.

The phone suddenly rang. Xiaoxiao, have you eaten?

It was Qin Ran.

I... I'm done eating."

Qin Ran was obviously in disbelief, Did you really eat it? Why don't I believe it?

Tang Yu asked you to call me, right?

After getting off work today, Qin Ran received a call from Tang Yu. He said that Gu Xiaoxiao had not been in a good mood lately, and he was worried that she wouldn't eat, so he hoped that Qin Ran could persuade her a little.

Qin Ran naturally agreed without hesitation.

Brother Tang Yu said that your mind had been wandering the entire time you played the zither today. I know that what I am saying now is not right, but Mr. Zheng and Brother Tang Yu spent so much energy to invite you back. Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't have let them down. "

I know, but I have no way to control myself. As long as I play the zither, the song that I played with Mo Ting will wander back and forth in my mind. It won't help no matter how hard I try to forget it.

Xiaoxiao, is Mr. Howe still not out yet?

Gu Xiaoxiao said, Yes.

Mr. Howe must have been set up by someone this time. If that's the case, the person who set it up will be willing to let it go. So Xiao Xiao, I think you should prepare yourself.

Of course, if it's really like that, then I might not be able to play the zither anymore.

After hanging up, Qin Ran was still worried. In the end, he called Tang Yu.

Brother Tang Yu, Xiao Xiao's situation is indeed not good, but I have no way of persuading him. If something were to happen to Mr. Howe, Xiao Xiao said that she would choose to give up on playing the zither.

I know.

Brother Tang Yu, can you help Mr. Howe?

My father and Huo Weihan, the father of Mr. Howe, were a bit unhappy when they were young. You also know that I rarely manage the affairs of the company these years, so I can't help the Huo Family in the name of the Tang.

Then what should we do? Are we really going to watch Xiaoxiao degenerate like this?

Gu Xiaoxiao felt very tired, but she was unable to sleep no matter what. His phone rang again, and Gu Xiaoxiao casually picked it up.

Of course, I'm fine now. You don't need to call me.

Is it the Miss Gu?

Who are you? Gu Xiaoxiao sat up and asked.

I am Tang Hedong, you might not know me, but you should know my son, Tang Yu. How is it?

What do you want?

I wonder if Miss Gu is interested in anything related to Huo Moting?

Address.

Alright, Miss Gu is a straightforward person. Now I know more or less why my son is infatuated with you.

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, although she felt that this Tang Hedong did not come with good intentions, she took Huo Moting's situation seriously.

Coffee shop.

Miss Gu? You don't need to be courteous, you can just call me Uncle Tang. In any case, you will be my Tang Family's daughter-in-law in the future.

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, What do you mean?

What do you mean? Tang Hedong laughed, Could it be that Miss Gu doesn't know that our Tang Yu likes you?

This is a matter between Tang Yu and I, it has nothing to do with you, uncle, right?

Tang Yu is my child. She doesn't need to appear for whatever he wants. As his father, I can help him settle it.

Tang Yu asked you to come?

That's not important. You just need to know that our Tang Yu likes you, and that our Tang Clan does not dislike you being the Huo Family's wife. As long as you forget about Huo Moting and live a good life with my son, we can let bygones be bygones. I wonder what Miss Gu thinks?

Gu Xiaoxiao also laughed, I'm also not sure, where does Uncle Tang get this confidence from, do you think I would agree?

You don't agree? Tang Hedong shook his head, I already knew that Miss Gu was a very temperamental girl, but now it seems like it's true.

CHAPTER 305 - NEGOTIATION

Uncle Tang, what exactly do you want to say?

Miss Gu, I'll say it one last time. If you leave Huo Moting and marry into our Tang Family, I, Tang Hedong, will definitely not treat you badly. Otherwise, even if you don't think about what would happen to you, you must think about what would happen to Huo Moting.

What do you mean?

Does Miss Gu not know? Tang Hedong did not expect that Gu Xiaoxiao actually did not know about this matter, and had a playful expression on her face, Looks like Huo Moting really loves Miss Gu, and has never reported her worries back.

What happened to Mo Ting?

Miss Gu knows the Huo Family's Eternity right? I remember that Miss Gu is also involved in the planning of this project.

So what?

Now, 'Eternity' belongs to us Tang, and I am truly sorry, but Huo Moting's act of faking the debt is already certain, I am prepared to sue him now. If you don't agree to marry to Tang Yu, Huo Moting will soon go to jail.

Why are you doing this? Gu Xiaoxiao stood up immediately, looking at the smiling and amiable Tang Hedong in front of him, a sense of sadness unexpectedly rose in her heart. As expected, Huo Moting's days were not easy and he actually did not know about such a huge matter.

Mr. Tang, I thought you would be a righteous man. I know about the fake accounts, but I know that Mo Ting would never do such a thing. Now that the Huo family is in danger, Mo Ting can't do anything about it. He's worried that I won't tell them to them, but that doesn't mean that I won't speak up for them."

Tang Hedong found the girl in front of him interesting. This girl could indeed arouse the desire of others, Then what is Miss Gu going to say?

I don't care what happened to Mo Ting in the end. Whether he ended up in jail or the CEO of the Huo Family, he lived on the streets. He was my husband, the only husband I, Gu Xiaoxiao, had. As for your plan, I will not agree to it.

Miss Gu, have you thought this through?

I've thought it through. I'm very clear-headed right now. I never felt I was that clear-headed before. Although I know that I like Mo Ting, I love him even more now. Mr. Tang, I shouldn't have said those things in front of an elder like you, but I can't help but feel this way. This is my way of thinking.

Gu Xiaoxiao, you will regret this.

Then Mr. Tang, please let me regret it.

The wind was very cold, and the makeup on Gu Xiaoxiao's face was a little worn out. Furthermore, because of the tears, her face felt as if it was being cut by a knife, and Gu Xiaoxiao felt that her heart was in pain.

Why didn't Huo Moting tell him about such a huge matter? If Huo Mochen had not said it, then it was definitely because of Huo Moting's instructions. She knew Huo Moting's personality, and often, he would just swallow all his teeth down into his stomach, but this time, such a huge matter was not allowing his to know.

Mo Chen, tell me which prison Huo Moting is in.

Huo Mochen was in the hospital waiting for water, when he received Gu Xiaoxiao's phone call he was still stunned, What's wrong, sister-in-law?

Stop lying to me. When Tang Hedong came to find me today, he said that Mo Ting is going to jail?

Sister-in-law, you … Don't worry, we have a lawyer. "

Mo Chen, tell me the truth. Is it possible that Mo Ting is in prison?

I'm sorry sister-in-law, it's useless, I didn't think that Tang Hedong would make an appeal, if that's the case, then it's true, the possibility of our Huo Family winning the lawsuit is very low, but the lawyer is my friend, he will do his best to help me and brother, don't be anxious sister-in-law, the person I worry about the most is you, sister-in-law.

Because he couldn't stop worrying about me, he didn't tell me anything. Did he think I could play the zither without worry? Who does he think I am? Don't tell me that with his current state, I still have to fulfill those illusory dreams?"

Sister-in-law, I'm sorry …

You did not do anything wrong, it's all my fault. I made all of you worry. I told Mo Ting to worry about me even under such circumstances. Tomorrow, bring me to see Mo Ting. You are not allowed to refuse.

I know, sister-in-law.

Mo Chen, Tang came prepared. If the Huo Family cannot protect you, don't suffer too much.

Huo Mochen listened to the busy signal from the other side of the phone, and he also heard the conversation between the two.

Actually, Sister Xiaoxiao has a very strong personality. This time, it's not so good for Brother-in-law to hide this from you.

My brother first told me to hide it from sister-in-law. Actually, it's because of his health, and I'm not too well now. I'm afraid that sister-in-law would worry.

That's true.

I don't want Sister-in-law to worry about me being fearless, but Sister-in-law is also worried about me because of this. There's no way to solve this problem.

Speaking of which, why did this Tang Hedong go to find the Sister Xiaoxiao? This is a little strange, why didn't you ask the Sister Xiaoxiao earlier?

It's impossible for Tang Hedong to know Sister-in-law. He definitely has a reason for going to find her. Could it be because of Tang Yu?

Tang Yu? Lu Shanshan frowned, Although I haven't known Tang Yu for long, she doesn't look like such a person. You can't judge a book by its cover, but do you think Tang Yu instigated his father to do this?

I don't know if it was Tang Yu who instigated them, but at least Tang Hedong must have gone to find Sister-in-law because of Tang Yu.

What you say makes sense, but what do we do now?

I'm going to look for Tang Yu. Huo Mochen said.

It's already so late, let's wait until tomorrow.

Gu Xiaoxiao did not go home. Instead, she went to a bar she frequented before, Tang Yu, do you have time?

Tang Yu did not expect Gu Xiaoxiao to call him so late at night, so she immediately replied, Of course I have time, what's the matter?

I'm in the Seven-Fruit Wine, right? Will you come?

Okay, wait for me there. Tang Yu knew that Gu Xiaoxiao would immediately jump off the bed in the bar. He was afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao would drink due to the recent events, but in reality, drinking was very important for the person playing the zither.

Gu Xiaoxiao rushed over, full of confidence. Gu Xiaoxiao did not drink, but held a cup of fruit juice in his hand. When she saw Tang Yu, he slowly waved his hand.

Xiaoxiao, why are you here alone?

The surroundings were very quiet. This was a bar, and everyone who came here was here for the sake of drinking, not for the sake of dancing.

I have a question to ask you.

Go ahead.

Tang Yu, your father came to see me today.

Tang Yu was surprised, Did my father tell you something that you shouldn't have done? I'm sorry, but that's exactly how my dad looked like. He always felt that what he did was the right thing to do."

Did you do it?

Tang Yu was confused, What did I do?

I don't believe your father did it. You don't know anything about it.

I... What did I do? Tang Yu really didn't know anything, but when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao's expression, he was a little flustered. His father knew that he liked Gu Xiaoxiao, so did he not know about the things he did?

Tang Yu, I am very grateful for your help, but gratitude is not love.

Of course I know. Tang Yu's expression was a little injured, You have already said these words many times, I have always been clear, I know that it was not love, so I did not ask for anything now.

Then what is your father doing today? He wants me to be with you, or would Mo Ting end up in jail? Tang Yu, what's wrong with telling me this, is this your respect for me? Or is it a gift you're going to give me?

What? Tang Yu also turned pale with fright, "Xiaoxiao, I don't care if you believe me or not, I don't even know about this matter, I have never done it before. I invited Mr. Zheng a few days ago, but I have only just returned, and I have not returned home yet.

Mo Ting is going to jail. Your father is not willing to let him go. I don't know what's wrong with you? If you really want me, why didn't you just tell me to treat Mo Ting that way? "

Gu Xiaoxiao, I said before that I did not do it, I, Tang Yu, am someone who takes responsibility. If I said that it wasn't me who did it, then it wasn't me.

Tang Yu, I hope so too. I have always felt that you are a kind person, but today, I can be considered to have reunited with you. I thank you for giving me this chance, I …

Gu Xiaoxiao, I told you, I didn't do it.

So you're saying that your father acted on his own and insisted on letting me stay with you?

There are a lot of misunderstandings, but it's definitely not what you think.

Tang Yu, forget it, I don't want to hear it. Your father said that if I'm not with you, Mo Ting will go to jail.

What?

Don't tell me you really don't know anything.

Xiaoxiao, I really …

Qin Ran coincidentally walked in at this time and saw that Tang Yu and Gu Xiaoxiao were arguing. She was very clear about the tempers of these two people.

Qin Ran was called over by Tang Yu, because it was late, Tang Yu was worried that Gu Xiaoxiao might have gotten drunk in the bar, and if he was called over by himself, it would be inconvenient for him to take care of her, so he called over Qin Ran and asked: What are you guys doing, Xiao Xiao, Brother Tang Yu, what's wrong with you guys?

Qin Ran, it has nothing to do with you. Qin Ran rarely heard such cold words from Gu Xiaoxiao, and he was taken aback upon hearing this.

Tang Yu, even if Mo Ting ends up in jail, I would definitely not be with you. It seems like we don't have anything else to say, so we'll be taking our leave.

Xiaoxiao, what's going on? Qin Ran still wanted to know what had happened, but he turned around and left. Tang Yu also spoke, Rest assured, let her go.

When Gu Xiaoxiao really left, Qin Ran quickly sat down, "Brother Tang Yu, what happened to you two?

"I don't know anything. Tonight, my dad went to
