Nie Jia didn’t take Jiang Zhaolin seriously. He was leisurely eating the small dishes prepared for him.

“Su Su is surnamed Yan, not Jiang. His biological father was not surnamed Jiang, how could it affect the reputation of your Jiang family?” Anna was disgusted by Jiang Zhaolin’s shamelessness and sneered. “If you really care so much about the reputation of the Jiang family, control your son who is surnamed Jiang and yourself. What does the Jiang family’s reputation have to do with Su Su?”

“What are you talking about? Yan Su is my step-son! Isn’t he also from the Jiang family?!” Jiang Zhaolin was very surprised by Anna’s suddenly sharp attitude.

“Huh! If you really thought of Su Su as a part of the Jiang family, how could you be so stingy before, that you were unwilling to change even his surname?” Without emotional ties, Anna had finally seen the truth. If a giant like the Jiang family really accepted a descendant, how could it be willing to let its descendant be given another surname? But Jiang Zhaolin had not said anything about changing Yan Su’s surname. So, he had never really thought to accept his stepson?

Thinking that her son was excluded by the juniors in the Jiang family because of his surname being Yan when he was a child, she had felt sad for a while. But now, she felt fortunate to not have changed her son’s surname to Jiang.

“Is it that I didn’t want to change it? Yan Su was four years old at that time. He knew what his surname was, what benefit did the change have for the child??”

“Okay. Susu is uncomfortable and has no appetite. You don’t need to say anything to disturb his appetite.” Anna interrupted Jiang Zhaolin’s sophistry impatiently.

Jiang Zhaolin’s eyes widened and he looked at his wife, who had been gentle and considerate, in anger and shock. “Did you take the wrong medicine today?!”

“I have been blind for more than 20 years. My eyes have suddenly seen the light today.” Anna’s tone was an irresistible contrast with her previously gentle and demure behavior.

“You…” Jiang Zhaolin’s neck was red with rage, and he almost jumped from the chair.

“Dad, please calm down.” Meng Qian quickly put down his chopsticks to appease Jiang Zhaolin’s anger.

Nie Jia looked up lazily at Jiang Zhaolin and said, “Yeah, you should get rid of your anger. I have a full schedule regarding surgery. If you are so angry that you have a cerebral hemorrhage, I would have no time to save you.”

Jiang Zhaolin was almost angered to the aforementioned cerebral hemorrhage. He was about to blame his disobedient stepson, but he saw the assistant who had been next to Huo Qing last night, walk into the dining room under the leadership of the maid. He didn’t care about scolding his stepson anymore, so he quickly stood up and greeted him quietly and asked, “Is there anything Mr. Huo wanted to convey?”

The assistant’s eyes directly ignored him, and fell on his stepson. With a respectful attitude, he said : “Dr. Yan, I came to pick you up.”

Jiang Zhaolin’s old face blushed, he felt slapped in the face.

“Mom, I’m going out.” Nie Jia didn’t want to see the two’s un-appetizing faces, and put the pumpkin pie that he had just taken a bite of, back on the plate to end his meal.

Anna said: “You don’t want to eat this? You only took a few bites. After all, you have to eat breakfast or your stomach will hurt again at noon.”

Nie Jia took the bitten pumpkin pie back.

“Please rest assured, Ma’am, the boss has prepared breakfast for Dr. Yan.” The assistant said.

Anna nodded her head and went to get a coat for Nie Jia. She told him : “It’s cold in the morning. You don’t exercise and it is easy to catch a cold. Wear more layers.”

Nie Jia’s heart felt warm and soft and he allowed Anna to put the coat on his shoulder.

Meng Qian did not recognize the assistant, nor did he know that he was the person around Huo Qing. When he saw that Nie Jia was going, he said anxiously : “You can’t go!”

With his cry, Nie Jia and the assistant’s eyes fell on him. The assistant narrowed his eyes and looked displeased.

“You can’t go anywhere before Grandpa wakes up!” Last time, Yan Su had left for Yunnan without even saying goodbye. Meng Qian had always felt uneasy. After all, his Grandpa was still in a coma. The result of the operation was still unknown. Yan Su had disappeared so quickly, he felt better and safer knowing that this man stayed under his own eyes.

“You want to restrict my personal freedom?”

Nie Jia quietly looked at the mumbling Meng Qian and slammed the chopsticks on the table without any expression.

Meng Qian blinked his eyes in shock, suddenly remembering how he had chopped Yan Yu’s hand last night, and suddenly stopped, speaking dryly: “As long as Grandpa wakes up, I won’t care where you go!”

“Su Su’s operations differ vastly from your paintings which you can’t draw without inspiration. You don’t have so much work. But you want him to stay at home, which means that he has to push away the patients who have previously made appointments. Why? Your grandfather’s life is life, other people’s life is not life?” Anna asked calmly.

“I don’t mean that!” Meng Qian blushed angrily.

“What’s taking so long?” A low, male voice came from outside, and Nie Jia turned to see Huo Qing’s figure walking towards them.

“Mr. Huo, why are you here?” Jiang Zhaolin hurriedly took two steps forward, but Huo Qing slightly indicated that he should not be close. Obviously he didn’t want to be close to him. Jiang Zhaolin’s complexion turned pale, and he suddenly stopped.

Meng Qian breathed tightly. He had never heard of Huo Qing before. Until he was with Jiang Yang, and he realized that there were giants with a higher status than Jiang Yang, who were really standing at the top of the pyramid. He now knew that even Jiang Yang had to rely on Huo Qing in many places. When he saw Huo Qing in private, he was nervous and subconsciously stood up, but he didn’t know what to say.

In Huo Qing’s eyes, there was no one else. He walked in and only looked at Nie Jia, and then sat down and waited for him.

Apart from Nie Jia, no one else could continue to eat at this table.

Meng Qian’s face slowly dulled. Mr. Huo came for Yan Su?!

Nie Jia finished the pumpkin pie and said to Huo Qing: “Have you eaten breakfast? Want some?”

While talking, Nie Jia gave him a bowl of vegetable porridge, which was specially made by Anna for his fragile stomach.

Huo Qing readily accepted Nie Jia’s invitation to have breakfast with him. At this time, Nie Jia was fortunate that Shi Chen didn’t have his complete consciousness. He faced Huo Qing with calmness. When confronted with such calm, Shi Chen (or Huo Qing) didn’t know what to do.

“Mr. Huo came for Su Su?” Anna asked softly.

Huo Qing laughed. “Yes.”

Anna didn’t speak anymore. Didn’t Huo Qing always serve as Jiang Yang’s backer? How could he come to find her son? She was a little worried, but she saw that her son drank half a bowl of porridge in one go, and he didn’t have any more appetite.

Obviously it was their own home. But, Jiang Zhaolin and Meng Qian felt that neither standing nor sitting was proper and awkwardly watched Huo Qing and Yan Su whispering, as if they were two servants. Meng Qian didn’t know what he was thinking, but Jiang Zhaolin had already deeply rooted this pain in his heart. Why did Huo Qing come here to find his stepson? Did Jiang Yang know?

Huo Qing spent 20 minutes with Nie Jia for breakfast. After eating, the two of them got up and left together. At this time, Meng Qian could not dare to say anything or ask Yan Su to stay at home and not go out. The two people walked side by side.

Before getting in the car, Nie Jia remembered something and turned towards Anna who sent him out, and said, “Mom, I won’t be back at night. I have something to do within these two days, and I’ll live outside temporarily.”

Huo Qing’s movement while open the car door paused. The light in his heart was very bright. He asked in a low voice: “Doctor Yan wants to live with me?”

“Inconvenient?” Nie Jia asked with raised eyebrows.

Huo Qing immediately opened the car door for him and turned back to Anna: “I will send someone to get Dr. Yan’s clothes later. I’ll trouble you to sort it out.”

Anna hadn’t recovered yet, and nodded in amazement. After the two had left, Jiang Zhaolin hurriedly pulled Anna over and asked, “Why did Mr. Huo come to pick up Yan Su?”

Anna threw Jiang Zhaolin’s hand away impatiently, and replied in a calm tone : “You should go and ask Huo Qing. Why ask me what he came for?”

She didn’t bother to look at him and went upstairs to pick up clothes for her son.

Jiang Zhaolin gasped for breath, if he dared to ask Huo Qing, would he still ask her?!

Meng Qian’s face was not good, but he didn’t have time to persuade him. He took the phone and hurriedly said: “Dad, I’m going to find Jiang Yang.”

Jiang Zhaolin nodded and panickedly told: “Ask Jiang Yang what’s going on? Has something made Mr Huo unhappy recently?”

His stepson never had any dealings with Jiang Yang. Mr. Huo, who had stood on Jiang Yang’s side and had no intersection with his stepson, suddenly came to their door to pick up the stepson. Jiang Zhaolin was very worried. Things like Huo Qing’s family background couldn’t be inquired, and Jiang Zhaolin couldn’t guarantee whether or not any relatives in Huo Qing’s family had a kind of difficult illness, waiting for Yan Su to save their life.

If this was the case, Huo Qing would have gratitude for Yan Su. Would Huo Qing continue to help his son? In case Huo Qing helped his stepson to deal with his son, could the Jiang family have anything better to deal with?!

“I heard that you sent Yan Yu to the hospital?” Nie Jia asked calmly on the way.

Huo Qing hummed out a monotonous syllable. His profile looked sharp and handsome in the morning light, and when he smiled slightly, the arcs of his eyes made him look extremely proud.

Nie Jia looked at the rapidly retrogressive buildings outside the window and frowned slightly: “Leave him to his creditor. He should be useless to you?”

“Since Dr. Yan meant it, I certainly have no opinion.” Huo Qing said.

Nie Jia: “You can call my name.”

“Su Su?” He chuckled.

Nie Jia turned angrily and glared at Huo Qing, but he saw that the man was holding his forehead with one hand, tilting his head to look at him, and there was an obvious joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Nie Jia immediately turned his head back and continued to look out the window, his ears were uncontrollably hot, and then he reached over to cover them, but Huo Qing couldn’t suppress his pleasant light laughter.

The assistant drove to Huo Qing’s house quickly. It was a garden villa built by the lakeside. There were no other residents around. It was very quiet. Huo Yun took her son and Ye Shuming to settle down here two years ago.
