The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1118 - 1087: Punishment, Acceptance

They soon arrived home, where someone was already waiting outside.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie got out and directly opened a wheelchair for Huo Yingqi to sit in, which was good for her legs.

Huo Yingqi was very excited and scared at the same time.

Song Chunli whispered softly, "Don’t be afraid, we’re all family here."

At that moment, Huo Zheqian got off work, and his car stopped not far away.

Seeing his daughter enter, he quickly walked a few steps and followed inside.

Seeing the gaunt appearance of his daughter in a wheelchair, Huo Zheqian felt a sourness in his heart, she was his child after all.

"Yingqi," Huo Zheqian said bitterly, "are you... are you alright?"

Hearing her father’s voice behind her, Huo Yingqi was startled, turned her head, and struggled to stand up to kowtow and apologize to her father.

"Dad..." Huo Yingqi, unable to control her emotions, was agitated.

Song Chunli quickly steadied Huo Yingqi and said, "Yingqi, please sit properly, your body can’t endure too much stress!"

Huo Zheqian also spoke, "It’s good that you’re back, we can talk later, let’s go inside. Since hearing the bad news about you, your grandparents have been uneasy and are waiting for you inside, let’s go."

"Yes, it’s all my fault for being unfilial," Huo Yingqi said, feeling guilty.

"Yingqi, don’t blame your grandparents," Huo Zheqian continued, "The situation at that time was... "

Choked with emotion, Huo Yingqi nodded repeatedly, "Dad, I’ve realized my mistakes. I never hated you, only my own foolishness. Now to live such a troubled life and cause you worry, I’ve been so unfilial."

If it hadn’t been for the car accident, perhaps the Xu Family wouldn’t have ended up this way.

Alas, it’s all fate.

"That’s good, now that you’re back, we’ll support you, and no one will dare to bully you," Huo Zheqian said. "You have to take good care of yourself."

"Yes, Dad, I will remember," Huo Yingqi replied. "Oh, Xiao Jian, this is your grandpa. Dad, this is my son, Xiao Jian."

"Hello, grandpa," Xu Jian said somewhat afraid, very cautiously, worried that his grandpa might not like him.

Although Huo Zheqian felt bitter, he didn’t show any disappointment in front of the child; instead, he patted his head and said, "Good boy, grandpa will take good care of you and your mom from now on."

While they were speaking, Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo shakily walked out.

No longer able to hold back her emotions, Huo Yingqi got off the wheelchair, knelt on the ground, and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, I was wrong."

Having been driven out by her grandfather before, Huo Yingjie no longer dared to claim she was their granddaughter.

With her eyes reddening, Old Madam Huo stepped forward, patted Huo Yingqi’s head, and said, "You’ve suffered enough, get up, don’t kneel; your legs aren’t well."

"Rest well," Old Master Huo, though not saying much, had clearly expressed his stance.

Without Old Master Huo’s consent, no one could have brought Huo Yingqi back.

Huo Yingjie could only carry Huo Yingqi inside while He Tiantian pushed the wheelchair. Once inside the house, He Tiantian let Huo Yingqi sit on it.

"Grandfather, grandmother, Uncle, Yingqi is back now. She’s very emotional today, so let her have some food and rest," He Tiantian said. "After all, there’s plenty of time to talk in the future."

"Yes, we owe it all to Tiantian this time," Song Chunli said. If Xiao Jian hadn’t seen Tiantian on TV going to Guang City, it would probably have been hard to find anyone to help.

He Tiantian turned to Xiao Jian and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, this is Yingqi’s child, who waited for me at the stadium for two days, showing he is a smart and filial child. Let’s train him well so he can take good care of Yingqi in the future."

"Yes, yes, father, mother, Xiao Jian is very well-behaved," Song Chunli praised. "Xiao Jian, this is your great-grandfather, and this is your great-grandmother!"

Xu Jian stepped forward to greet them. Although his voice was soft, he was also very polite.

"Good child," Old Master Huo nodded. "You all should also pay more attention regularly..."

"Of course," said Song Chunli. "Xiao Jian is very obedient."

Afterward, Huo Yingqi, now able to eat by herself, drank two bowls of porridge and then went to rest.

Originally, Huo Yingqi did not want to go back, wishing to talk more with her family, but He Tiantian persuaded her to return, saying, "Yingqi, there will be plenty of time in the future. Why rush now? You are weak, and if you don’t recover well, everyone including your aunt, uncle, grandfather, and grandmother will be worried."

Huo Yingqi thought about it and nodded, saying, "I’ll listen to my sister-in-law."

"That’s good," He Tiantian said, helping Huo Yingqi to the washroom, then taking her to the room to rest.

Xu Jian had his meal and then went for his nap.

Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo listened as Song Chunli explained the whole process.

They felt both angry and saddened.

However, thankfully they had brought back both the adult and the children, so they could make amends in the future.

"By the way, we can’t let the Xu family off easily," Old Madam Huo said. "Is everything arranged?"

Song Chunli nodded, "Everything is arranged. Once we leave, Xu Kaiming will lose his job. After Yingqi gets divorced from Xu Kaifa and secures the family’s assets, we will deal with Xu Kaifa for abusing his wife and trafficking children. That should be enough to lock him up for ten years."

"That’s good," nodded Old Madam Huo. Such a scoundrel should not be let off lightly.

The old master and the old lady felt somewhat tired and rested briefly there. After dinner in the evening, they talked with Huo Yingqi and then returned to the Huo family’s old mansion.

At Huo Yingqi’s place, Song Chunli had hired a couple. The wife took care of Huo Yingqi and did the housework, while the husband, a former chef, took care of the cooking. Everything was well arranged.

Song Chunli, still concerned about her daughter and grandson’s adjustment, also stayed.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie could finally go home.

It was already the hot summer season.

Grandma Wang was eating watermelon with three kids, and Snake King was there too!

After Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian returned, the three kids stopped eating watermelon and ran over to circle around their dad and mom.

Household matters were not discussed with the kids, and they were unaware.

He Tiantian could only share some details about competitions to satisfy their curiosity.

After eating the watermelon and cuddling enough with their dad and mom, the kids went inside to watch TV.

Grandma Wang also went back to rest.

Snake King whispered, "Was this trip relatively smooth?"

"It went okay," He Tiantian replied. "And you?"

"I’m not bad either, walking the runway regularly. When I’m free, I attend some classes," Snake King said. "It’s quite nice. The teachers and classmates all like me a lot."

"Haha, the female teachers and classmates, right?" He Tiantian asked with a smile. "You’re so handsome, truly a handsome sight for the ages!"

"Exactly!" Snake King said proudly. "I’m quite famous now. Want an autograph?"
