C294 For

"What are you trying to say?" Huo Mo Ting didn't have the strength to talk to Bella about these useless things. His current body definitely couldn't allow him to do this. If it wasn't because the Huo family was still in danger, he really wouldn't be able to hold on for even a second.

"Homer, is this how you treat me?" Bella laughed. "Although we are not friends, at least we have experienced so much together on the island. You have to treat me a little better."

Homer didn't say anything, and Bella took it for tacit approval. He did not know that it was because of the stomachache that he was unable to defend himself.

"Since you don't talk, then I'll order some dishes. Seeing how thin you have been recently, you should eat more meat. Spicy chicken, chopped fish head with pepper, Sichuan beef pot."

"I don't eat any of these." Homer began again.

"What's wrong? I've already said that the dishes in this family are very good, do you not believe me?" Bella had always been a person who did not feel happy even if there was no spiciness. She did not know the current state of Huo Mo Ting's body, so she naturally did not mind ordering the dishes.

"I can't eat." Huo Mo Ting knew that he couldn't afford to let anything go wrong with his stomach. If he were to fall, Huo Mo Chen wouldn't be able to handle it all by himself.

"It's boring for you to eat like that. We agreed on whether you want to eat or not. Anyway, I'll order some, you take care of it."

Bela happily continued to order the dishes. "Order every spicy dish in your restaurant. I like spicy dishes the most. Hormo Ting, do you want to drink?"

Homer shook his head. "I still need to drive later."

"Just find a substitute to drive the car. How about this, it won't be too hard for you. We'll just drink white spirits."

"Bella, what are you trying to do? I really don't have time to eat with you. "

"Homer, will your business improve when you go back? "You know that your Huo family is currently lacking in funds and not in ability. Even if you have the skills to reach the heavens, you don't have the money, so what can you do?"

"However, these are all problems that I need to worry about."

"Now I'll give you a way."

"What?"

"Our family can help you, but I have my conditions."

"What condition?"

"You're engaged to Gu Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes."

"Do you like Gu Xiaoxiao that much?"

"Yes."

"What exactly do you like about Gu Xiaoxiao? Am I not as good as she is? "

"This isn't a question of whether one is outstanding or not. Furthermore, Xiao Xiao is the most perfect in my heart. This is something that no one can compare to."

"Homer, do you know that you speak angrily? Did no girl ever confess to you when you were in school?"

"Does this have anything to do with what we're talking about?"

"Alright, as long as you leave Gu Xiaoxiao and stay with me, you'll get the help of our family. Isn't that tempting?"

"No need to talk about it."

"Homer, are you sure you don't want to think about it? This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. You know how powerful our family is, and how easy it is to save a Huo family.

"Miss Bella, I don't think there's a need to eat this meal anymore. I don't have that kind of plan, and I definitely won't make that choice."

"Huo Mo Ting, are you so sure that your choice was the right one? Are you really going to give up the entire Huo Family's property for a woman?"

"So what?"

"It's not wise to do that. I'm the only one who can help you. Besides, as long as you can help me, the Huo family will definitely be better off. Are you sure you don't want to think about it?"

Without the slightest hesitation, he said, "The waiter will pay the bill."

"But sir, your food has yet to be served." The waiter looked troubled.

"I don't want to eat anymore. This young lady will have to eat by herself."

"Homer, you must not regret this."

"Nope."

Huo Mo Ting straightforwardly paid the bill before turning around to leave. Bella had the nagging feeling that he was quite thin. Perhaps it was because of the recent crisis with the Huo family that he was so stubborn.

Bella looked at the dishes on the table happily, "What a pity, I'm the only one who's eating."

He had been suffering from a low fever recently, which actually consumed a lot of his energy. However, given how closely Huo Mo Chen followed him, he didn't dare to let him find out that Huo Mo Chen was already feeling guilty. If he did find out, then Huo Mo Chen might blame himself.

Because he had been dragged here on the spur of the moment, he was only wearing a suit and no jacket. In the cold winter, he was in a trance and it took him a long time to drive, but he was still not in a good condition.

"Be careful!" It was too late for Homer's shout because the car had already crashed into the car in front of him. Fortunately, the old man at the side was not surprised.

It was the old man who ran the red light, and after getting off the car, he almost did not stop. The person in front of him who was hit said that he was a drunk driver, but after the traffic police came and checked that he was not a drunk driver, he said that he was a poisonous driver.

He had no choice but to go with the traffic police and check. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he didn't have the right to do anything and this wasn't his full responsibility, but he still had to compensate.

Before leaving, the traffic policeman looked at Homer's face and asked, "Sir, are you not feeling well?"

Homer shook his head. "I'm fine."

"I can't see that you look too good. This sickness isn't acceptable either. Hurry up and go home."

When he bumped into the car in front of him, his hand had been scratched by something. Although the wound wasn't serious, it was indeed a bit long. However, Huo Mo Ting didn't care at all and just casually took out a wet towel to wipe it.

"Brother, why aren't you back yet?"

"It's fine, it's on the way."

"Brother, Bella didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Huo Mo Ting was silent for a while, but he still denied it. "It's fine. Don't worry. I'll go to the hospital to see Dad, and I'll go to the west side of the city to have a look."

"Brother, why are you going alone again?"

"It's okay, I'm such a big guy, what are you worried about?"

In fact, he just wanted to find a place to rest and not have anyone. That way, he could relax and put down his mask.

Huo Mo Chen thought it was strange, but his brother's tone was too weird, even a little like a request. Had something really happened to her brother and Bella, or had this Bella threatened to blackmail Homer?

Ever since Huo Mo Chen was a kid, he had realized that his brother's temper was a habit of swallowing all his troubles and not telling anyone about them. He had never told Aunt Lan about it. It seemed that his problem had gotten worse since he had grown up.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Huo Weihan was in much better condition. Gu Xiaoxiao had also arrived and was helping Qin Fanglan prepare hot water. Gu Xiaoxiao was very happy to see Huo Mo Chen.

"Mo Chen, Mo Ting didn't come?"

Huo Mo Chen naturally wouldn't tell Gu Xiaoxiao about the meal between Huo Mo Ting and Bella. However, her complexion was still a little pale, so Gu Xiaoxiao was able to discern some clues, "Mo Chen, did something happen?"

"It's fine, sister-in-law. I'm just a bit tired recently."

"If you have anything to say, you must tell sister-in-law." Gu Xiaoxiao clearly did not believe him. "Is it your brother who doesn't want you to say it?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm really alright. I'm really a bit tired."

"Why didn't Mo Ting come?"

"My brother has a project to follow up on, so he wants me to come see dad."

"Take me to see him."

Huo Mo Chen was a little hesitant. "Sister-in-law, you know I'm most afraid of your worries, so …"

"Since you know that I'm worried, then what is going on?"

"Bella went to find my brother today, so I'm a little worried that she will threaten him."

"Bella?"

The company is currently not in a good condition and needs a large amount of money. Before, brother went to ask Uncle Qiao, but because of me, brother and Uncle Qiao broke up. When dad was in the company, he didn't deal with the people from the outside world that well, so no one was willing to help us.

"I didn't think it was that serious." Gu Xiaoxiao's expression turned grave.

"I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you. Sister-in-law, you must believe me. He can definitely help us get through this crisis."

"Of course I believe him, but he didn't tell me anything just to let me concentrate on practicing the zither. I'm very worried about him too."

"Sister-in-law, I know that it's your wish. Just leave the business to us men."

"Mo Chen, you've really grown up."

"Sister-in-law, I'll go see dad, then I'll go look for bro. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of him."

"Thank you, Mo Chen."

Mo Chen felt sad. He could not bear to thank Huo Mo Ting no matter what. In fact, he did not help his brother to shoulder the burden. On the contrary, he always needed Huo Mo Ting to support him.

If it weren't for Homer Ting, the Huo family really wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"Dad, how are you?"

After all, they had been husband and wife for so many years, and Qin Fanglan was a very meticulous person. When she was young, she loved to learn piano lessons with Qin Fanglan, so she always felt very happy.

Aunt Lan was a patient and forgiving person. At that time, Huo MoChen had been secretly envious of her.

"Much better, why didn't your brother come?"

Huo Mo Chen lowered his head and said, "Big Bro went to the west side of the city to look for the projects. He was a bit busy, so he asked me to come and look for Dad."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lan took good care of me. You don't have to worry."

"Dad, then I'll go look for my brother in peace." Huo Mo Chen was still a little ashamed of Huo Wei Han, and when he left with the entire Huo Family, Gu Ruqin, he had never thought that he would end up in such a predicament.

"Mo Chen, don't feel too pressured. Your father didn't blame you at all. Do you understand?" Qin Fanglan said.

"Got it, Aunt Lan." Huo Mo Chen was moved, but he did not say anything. He was afraid that every word he said would cause his emotions to surge.

After Huo Mo Chen left the hospital, he went to look for him. However, when he arrived at the West City, the person in charge there said that he had never seen him before.

This was the place where Huo Mo Chen and Huo Mo Ting grew up. The vines in the courtyard had already grown to the top of the building, and the scenery here had been the same for the past two decades.
