Chapter 257: 1 Dao Heart
"Sister, you don't remember my aunt's house, right?" Chu Ci asked worriedly.
Huo Tingfang nodded.
"Then, let's take a look together and get familiar with it?" Chu Ci said worriedly.
"Okay!"
Huo Tingfang readily agreed.
Chu Ciyou turned his head and smiled at Qin Yufang: "Aunt, is it okay?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead!" Qin Yufang waved her hand nonchalantly and asked a servant to lead the way for them.
Chu Ciyou and Huo Tingfang joined hands and started the visiting mode.
In fact, the layout here is still the same as it was 20 years ago. Huo Tingfang is familiar with every scene and object.
They visited each room one by one and found nothing unusual.
It was not until they entered the study that Huo Tingfang suddenly clenched Chu Ciyou's hand.
"Aunt Song, is this my uncle's study?" Chu Ciyou patted Huo Tingfang's hand calmly and looked around.
Huo Tingfang got the reminder and quickly adjusted his mood.
Aunt Song said, "No, this is the eldest young master's study."
"Cousin?" Chu Ciyou looked at the antique furnishings and was unable to connect with the young man for a while.
My cousin Qin Huandong is 34 years old this year, in the prime of his life. How could he like this kind of environment?
"Where does my cousin work now?" Huo Tingfang asked.
"I originally passed the exam to become a civil servant, but later I quit because the salary was too low and started my own business." Aunt Song explained with a smile.
"Oh, what business does he have?"
"I don't know about that."
Huo Tingfang did not ask any more questions, but just casually opened a book on the desk: The Book of Changes.
Her eye twitched and she closed the book again.
Chu Ciyou felt even more strange.
Nowadays, few young people believe in metaphysics, let alone study it.
This cousin is really weird.
"That painting should be worth a lot of money, right?" Huo Tingfang pointed at the painting next to the desk and asked Chu Ciyou to look at it.
Thanks to the An family, Chu Ciyou now has some knowledge of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
She could tell at a glance that the seemingly funny painting of withered lotus was actually a work by a famous artist from thousands of years ago.
"Sister, this is a real antique."
"Oh, no wonder it's special."
Aunt Song can be regarded as an old servant who has watched Huo Tingfang grow up. She watched their comments with a smile.
After visiting the whole family, it was time for dinner.
Uncle Xu Xiao hasn't come back yet.
"Xiaoyu, where is Xu Xiao?" Grandma Qin asked.
"He must have gone to a restaurant with his poker friends again." Qin Yufang's eyes flashed coldly, "Don't worry about him, let's eat."
Chu Ciyou and Huo Tingfang exchanged glances silently.
The Qin family has only two daughters. Qin Yufang stayed at home and looked for a son-in-law.
The son-in-law Xu Xiao came from the mountainous area of another province. Relying on his own talents, he rose from a poor student to a regular employee. He was introduced to Qin Yufang and finally married into the Qin family.
The Qin family is wealthy and prosperous with the help of their second son-in-law.
Everyone said that Xu Xiao was lucky to have found Qin Yufang, the golden thigh.
Some people also laughed at him for being a Phoenix man who hooked up with a rich girl.
After dinner, Qin Rufang still had a lot to say to her sister. Chu Ci said worriedly, "Mom, we should go back and take care of the kids."
"Oh, it's so late?" Qin Rufang looked at the sky, her heart full of nostalgia.
"If you can't bear to leave your aunt, just stay for a few days. It's okay." Chu Ci said with a worrying smile.
Qin Yufang followed her words and asked her to stay: "Sister, since you rarely come back, stay with me for a few days!"
"it is good."
Qin Rufang hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The corners of Qin Yufang's lips twitched slightly.
Qin Rufang was not there on the way home, so Huo Tingchen and the others could finally discuss freely.
"How is it? Did you find anything unusual?" Huo Tingchen asked impatiently.
"There is the Book of Changes in my cousin's study. Why is he studying this?" Huo Tingfang frowned. "I remember that he didn't believe in metaphysics before."
Qin Huandong is seven years older than her. When she was kidnapped, Qin Huandong was already a fourteen-year-old boy.
Passionate about school and technology. My dream is to become a pilot when I grow up.
"I really don't know him." Huo Tingchen frowned, "We haven't met many times in recent years, and I occasionally hear my mother mention him."
"The painting of withered lotus in his room was created by a Taoist master." Chu Ci said worriedly.
For some reason, Huo Tingfang began to get goose bumps all over her body.
I always feel that Qin Huandong seems to have become an unfathomable bad guy.
"Xiao You, what else did you find?" Huo Tingchen asked.
Chu Ciyou said: "My aunt and uncle don't have a good relationship. Every time she mentions my uncle, there is hatred in her eyes."
"Could it be that my uncle forced her to kidnap me, so?"
"It shouldn't be."
Chu Ciyou shook his head.
"Then..." Huo Tingfang couldn't figure it out.
Why did my aunt insist on kidnapping Tingchen?
"Was my aunt willing to be with my uncle back then?" Chu Ci asked worriedly.
How would Huo Tingfang and her brother know?
Anyway, my uncle and aunt in my memory were very kind.
"I have a bold guess!" Chu Ciyou took a deep breath and prepared to use his ultimate move.
Huo Tingchen and Huo Tingfang both sat up straight subconsciously.
"I suspect that my aunt resents my mother because of the son-in-law issue. So she wants to kidnap Tingchen and destroy my mother."
"!!!"
The old lady of the Huo family favors boys over girls.
After Qin Rufang gave birth to a daughter as her first child, the old lady disliked her openly and covertly.
She also often compares Huo Tingfang with Huo Tinghai from the first wife's house.
Life didn't get better until she gave birth to her second child, Huo Tingchen.
The easiest way to make Qin Rufang sad in her husband’s family is to have no children.
Not only will she be bullied by her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law, but her huge family business will also be swallowed up by the first wife.
"It's possible..." Huo Tingchen's voice and expression became extremely cold.
Over the years, my aunt did seem to be dissatisfied with his behavior, but he didn't notice it.
It should be that after his sister was kidnapped, his father increased his protection of him, making it impossible for his aunt to do it again.
She couldn't stand him, but couldn't get rid of him.
It was not until more than a year ago that Huo Zhongjie tampered with his car, causing him to become a vegetable after a car accident, that his aunt's wish was fulfilled.
During that time, my mother was in great pain, but my aunt never showed up once!
"Leave the matter of investigating uncle to me. I'm good at it." Huo Tingfang said, his cold eyes full of murderous intent.
At this moment, Chu Ciyou seemed to see Huo Tingfang when he was a spy in the Xu family.
"it is good."
Huo Tingchen nodded. "Sister, no matter what you find out, don't get excited. Leave it to me to solve it."
"I see." Huo Tingfang smiled. "I know I have depression, and I won't let myself be easily stimulated."
"You know?" Chu Ciyou was surprised.
According to Xu Lin, Huo Tingfang had long been unaware of her own illness.
"Of course I know my own illness well," Huo Tingfang said, "but I have survived the most difficult times, and now I am very strong."
Huo Tingchen begs to differ.
If you are really strong enough, you will no longer be depressed and collapse.
"Xiao Chen, take me to Pan Pei's place later. I'll stay there tonight." Huo Tingfang said.
Huo Tingchen: ………
You haven't gotten married yet!
"Okay." Chu Ciyou quickly agreed and secretly kicked Huo Tingchen.
Maybe love can cure my sister's depression?
