Chapter 344: 344 I'm Sorry

"Slap!" Shen Fangqi stood up abruptly, slapped Huo Liancheng's face with a slap caught off guard, and Huo Liancheng's head tilted slightly.
Jian Yun was frightened, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Huo Liancheng, with both hands holding on to his shirt, Huo Liancheng shook her hand and comforted her silently, while he smiled at Shen Fangqi.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Fangqi said with a cold face, her eyes full of harsh expression.
"I took the initiative to withdraw, mother, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Huo Liancheng did not answer Shen Fangqi, but narrowed his eyes with a cold voice.
"Just for her?!" Shen Fangqi pointed at Jian Yun suddenly, his well-maintained face was full of haze.
Jian Yun was confused when she heard it, and she didn't know what the mother and son were talking about. At this moment, seeing Shen Fangqi pointed the finger at her again, she was shocked.
"It has nothing to do with her!" Huo Liancheng pulled Jian Yun behind, and protected her with his tall body, "I am tired of myself. Because of this, Qingcheng almost died. If it weren't for the hope, I can't hold on to it at all, Mom, you know better than anyone in your heart, don't you?"
"Qingcheng..." When Shen Fangqi heard Huo Liancheng mention Huo Qingcheng, her expression finally loosened, no longer the coldness she used to be, but a touch of melancholy. Her eyelashes were half drooping, as if thinking about something, and she didn't speak for a long time. .
Huo Liancheng stared at Shen Fangqi, and those nice black eyes were full of emotions that Jian Yun couldn't understand.
Jian Yun was already completely confused. How could she listen to Huo Liancheng's tone, as if the reason why his sister became a vegetable was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?
"Mom, I know you don't want to see me, I will leave tonight!" Huo Liancheng took a deep breath, seemed very depressed, after saying this, he took Jian Yun and walked towards the door.
Jian Yun always felt something was wrong. She wanted to ask Huo Liancheng. Seeing that he had a bad complexion, she could only bear the words back. The moment they went out, Jian Yun turned her head back to see what Shen Fangqi's expression was. Immediately, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Huo Liancheng took Jian Yun back to the room, his face was pale, and his energy was not good. Jian Yun helped him sit down and asked concerned: "Does the injury on his back still hurt? Or, I will put some medicine on you?"
Huo Liancheng grabbed Jian Yun's hand that wanted to open his clothes, hugged her and sat on his lap. He buried his face in her neck, "I'm sorry."
Jian Yun was surprised, "Why should I apologize?"
Huo Liancheng looked up and looked at Jian Yun, "Don't take what my mother said to your heart!"
Jian Yun remembered what Shen Fangqi had just said, her face flushed again, "Your mother she—"
"My mother is a knife mouth, she is never polite, in fact, she is not malicious, you don't have to worry about it!" Huo Liancheng stroked Jianyun's cheek, his eyes flashed when he said this, but he saw the doubt on Jian Yun's face When, he asked again: "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about what you said to your mother." Jian Yun is now thinking about the way Huo Liancheng and his parents get along. Why is it so weird everywhere?
"What words?" Huo Liancheng asked.
"What do you mean by quitting? And your sister..." Jian Yun asked, sighing in her heart. The world admires the rich, but they don’t know that the rich also suffer so much. People die for money and die for food. Since ancient times, as long as there are people, there have been fights, and humanity can be wiped out for profit.
Huo Liancheng was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about what to say. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Jian Yun reached out and pressed his lips, "Don't say it if it's inconvenient, I just want you to do well."
Huo Liancheng took Jian Yun's hand, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice, "There is nothing inconvenient to say, I didn't tell you before, I was afraid that you were worried, and I was afraid--"
"What are you afraid of?" Jian Yun asked.
"Afraid of being rejected by you!" Huo Liancheng sighed. He scraped Jian Yun's nose and said helplessly: "You hate me so much. If you know the dirty things in my house, you must turn your head and run away!"
Jian Yun gave Huo Liancheng a white look, "I seem to be so timid!"
Huo Liancheng smiled, "Actually, it makes sense for you to dislike it. Sometimes I dislike it! But being born in such a family is not my choice!"
"Do you know what you said is so awkward! How many people are jealous of your family background, you still dislike it!" Jian Yun blinked mischievously and said with a smile.
"If they knew what kind of life I've been living since I was young, they wouldn't have such thoughts again!" The smile on Huo Liancheng's face faded, and his eyes were misty and gleaming like an iceberg.
Jian Yun's heart trembled as Huo Liancheng's expression changed.
"Born with a golden spoon, especially in such a hundred-year-old family, it is not a happy thing. From the time I can remember, I have been studying constantly, and I have no time to play like ordinary children. I left home at the age of five, so the relationship with my mother was not close, and she suffered a lot when she was pregnant with me, so my mother was always cold towards me. On the contrary, she loved the city very much. When I was young, I saw her right Qingcheng is so good, but harsh on me and resentful in my heart, so I will redouble my efforts just to let her see my achievements."
Huo Liancheng began to narrate. His voice was as indifferent as before. If it weren't for some information, Jian Yun thought he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"But until I grew up, my mother had always been so indifferent to me. The only time I hugged me was when I won a prize at the Allure Piano Competition."
Hollian City paused, his eyes were a little loose, and then he continued: "Since I was young, I didn't feel any affection, only the responsibility that was pressed on my body. But, as you have heard, such a big family, even if the surface is boundless, There has always been an internal struggle. My father’s lineage is the long house. A hundred years ago, the long house was ordered to inherit the position of the head of the family. But my health was not good when I was young. When I was ten years old, I had a serious illness and almost died. My uncles were moved."
"They did it to you?" Jian Yun heard this and guessed how things were going.
"Yeah." Huo Liancheng's voice was still faint, only the coldness in his eyes revealed his emotions, "including my serious illness, it was their hands and feet."
"They--" Jian Yun was puzzled. "But, I still don't understand. Why do you say that you quit, just like your mother intended?"
This time, Huo Liancheng was silent for a longer period of time, until Jian Yun thought he would not answer, and he just said: "Because, my second cousin is my mother’s first love, and I have a half brother. !"
"..." Jian Yun was completely messed up when she heard this, and there was a mess in her mind. She looked at Huo Liancheng, who looked cold and didn't know what to say.
