Yan Yu begged for a long time only for his son to be unmoved. In the past, as long as he knelt down, Yan Su wouldn't be calm. He couldn't help but look up to peep at his son's face, but he met Nie Jia's murderous eyes. That look was terrible, Yan Yu was startled, and let out a cry of alarm, and fell to the ground in awkwardness.

Nie Jia's gaze was like watching ants, and it conquered Yan Yu with irresistible coercion. It was this man who had pushed Yan Su to step into the trap set up by Jiang Yang!

The original owner Yan Su was not a soft-hearted person, otherwise it would have been impossible to force Jiang Yang in such an embarrassing situation of asking for help from Huo Qing. He tirelessly gave Yan Yu money because he always remembered his parents' loving faces before their divorce. He knew that Yan Yu was a good father even though he had cheated on his marriage. He was willing to give Yan Yu a chance, wait for him to correct himself. He gave him money again and again for his gambling debts, only for the humble expectation in his heart.

But, Yan Yu only regarded his son as a cash cow. He promised Yan Su that he would stop gambling, but soon turned his face away and threw the money Yan Su gave him, on the gambling table. Not only that, but in the end, for Jiang Yang's promise of 10 million, he colluded with Jiang Yang to send Yan Su to prison, resulting in the crippling of those hands which had saved countless people.

Yan Su's expectations and feelings for his biological father were dog-shit for Yan Yu!

"The last time you said it was the last time." Nie Jia took a step forward, and then squatted in front of Yan Yu on one knee, looking directly at his panicked eyes.

Yan Yu felt timid, but after seeing Jiang He's threatening eyes, he still lowered his head and smiled and begged: "I swear, Yan Su! I swear to you! I promise this is really the last time! Otherwise, they will cut your father's hand. Ah… Yan Su, you must save me!"

"You said it was the last time, every time, but you lied to me every time, and this time is no exception." Nie Jia held Yan Yu's right hand which was pulling his trousers, his voice was very soft, but it contained a freezing chill. He said: "Since your hand can't be guaranteed sooner or later, I'll personally cut it for you!"

The noises hadn't settled yet. Nie Jia grasped the knife that he had taken from Qin Yiran before and nailed it into Yan Yu's wrist!

The knife directly pierced Yan Yu's wrist and nailed it to the floor. It peeled off his right palm, leaving only skin and flesh.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and then Yan Yu burst out a cry, shouting in panic. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Jiang Yang and Jiang He watched with horror as Nie Jia pulled out the knife decisively. They even forgot to breathe in shock.

Nie Jia stood up, the blade still dripping blood.

Yan Yu cried wildly, holding his wrist, rolling all over the floor. Blood splattered everywhere, and the guests unconsciously stepped back several steps.

Huo Qing, who had been watching the whole process silently, not far away, finally moved, and told the assistant around him: "Send him to the hospital and let people watch him."

His tone was as usual, filled with such indifference that disregarded others. But, the assistant found that the boss who was always unsmiling in front of outsiders, at this time, had happily hooked his lips up. He was looking at Dr. Yan's murderous figure, his eyes, very gentle.

Yan Yu's palm was almost about to fall, and blood was spurting out like a spring. He screamed loudly in pain for a moment, and suddenly ran to Jiang He, who had been standing still, with his broken wrist. He was frightened and shouted in panic: "Mr. Jiang, I have done what you ordered. Can you give me the money now? I want to cure my hand! My hand is broken!"

"Huh!—" Nie Jia threw away the bloodied pocket knife, wiped off the blood on his fingers carefully with a handkerchief, and cast a calm and fierce gaze at Jiang He.

Jiang He was taken aback, and quickly pushed Yan Yu away to absolve himself of blame. "Who are you?"

Jiang He's denial had no effect. Yan Yu was still chasing him for money, and the guests had already guessed one thing or two. Although Dr. Yan had such a daunting father, it was not Dr. Yan's fault. Instead, Yan Yu, who couldn't even get inside high end restaurants, was brought to such a grand banquet to target Dr. Yan. It was either Jiang He's idea or Jiang Yang's plan…. otherwise, how could Yan Yu come in? How could he have the courage to ask Jiang He for money?

After the Li family's madam Qianjin said, "It's ridiculous", she left the Jiang mansion and went home.

At this point, Jiang Yang and Meng Qian's engagement banquet was completely ruined. Jiang He had wanted to embarrass Yan Su, but had unexpectedly lifted a stone and smashed his foot.

Nie Jia wiped his fingers, threw the handkerchief and went upstairs. He had no intention of seeing it to the end.

Jiang Yang looked very ugly and scolded Jiang He: "Jiang He, you gave me a good show."

Jiang He was panting, how could he not realize how the old Jiang family had lost tonight. He was afraid it would spread in the whole circle before dawn."Jiang Yang….. Shall we call the police?"

Meng Qian gently pulled Jiang Yang's sleeve and said with meaning.

The large pool of blood on the ground was particularly dazzling. Yan Yu had lost too much blood and was drowsy. He sat down on the ground and shivered. Wasn't all this caused by Yan Su! He chopped off other people's hands, how can this good opportunity not be used well?

"Inform them, of course." Jiang Yang whispered coldly.

Meng Qian nodded and immediately called to inform the police. At this time, a large hand wearing a watch suddenly reached out and took Meng Qian's mobile phone directly.

Huo Qing's assistant showed a very polite and alienated smile, and said lightly: "It's better not to call the police, otherwise the reputation lost tonight can't be recovered. As for this person, let me handle it." He said and gave back Meng Qian the phone that he had turned off. He then dragged Yan Yu out.Jiang Yang was stunned. He knew that this must be Huo Qing's meaning. He naturally would not rebel against Mr. Huo, but he did not understand why Mr. Huo stopped him from calling the police.

The person had been dragged away by the assistant, and Jiang Yang didn't care about it. He quickly greeted the guests to resolve the stagnant atmosphere at the scene.

————————

Nie Jia pushed the door open with heavy steps. Anna didn't know that Yan Yu had been here, and was comforting Qin Yiran, who had red eyes.

"Mom, can I talk to her?" Nie Jia was in a very bad mood at this time, his face was not good, and there were tiny beads of sweat between her eyebrows.

Anna knew at a glance that he had a stomachache. She got up and went out, and soon gave him a glass of warm water and painkillers.

Nie Jia didn't take water or medicine, but put down the cup in front of Qin Yiran, and then squatted barefoot on the chair. He hugged his knees and shrunk himself into a ball. This action didn't make him look fragile, but he seemed lonely and eccentric. At least Qin Yiran didn't dare to talk when she looked at him, because Yan Su seemed very upset.

Nie Jia was silent for a long time, and then handed Qin Yiran a card. His expression did not change. "There are 40 millions in this card which can solve your urgent needs. First, stabilize the company's personnel, and don't focus on saving the Gu's. The Qin family still has development value."

Qin Yiran looked at the card and then looked at Nie Jia in surprise. She really needed money right now, but she had no reason to accept the money from Yan Su. Nie Jia's eyes were clear, "Your uncle Gu Xueying's ability is enough to revive the Qins. Tell him to get the reclamation project. I will provide the funds within a month."

The funds required for the reclamation project were not a small amount. Let alone 40 million, even 400 million would not be enough. Qin Yiran didn't know if Yan Su had the money. Even if he did, she had no friendship with him. How could he give her such a large sum of money?

Qin Yiran pursed her lips stiffly, "Why help me?"

Although she had a good relationship with Anna, she hadn't said even a few words to Yan Su. "I'm not helping you. I'm using you. But it won't hurt you. You can choose not to accept or think about it. I hope you accept because you are the best candidate for me, but I don't have much time to give you for choosing." Nie Jia rolled his eyes and looked at her faintly, not even discussing with her but telling her.

To make Jiang Yang regret, Nie Jia had many ways. After thinking, he finally chose Qin Yiran. Jiang Yang looked down on Qin Yiran. He had married her because she was the only daughter of the Qin clan. He used Qin Yiran as a prop, so he kicked her away as soon as the Qin clan's decline became apparent. Compared with Yan Su's identity, letting Qin Yiran, who had always been regarded as a "tool", crush Jiang Yang would be better. Regret? He was afraid Jiang Yang would die directly.

As for the money to support Qin Yiran, Nie Jia had already thought about using Huo Qing.

Although Nie Jia's attitude was not bad, Qin Yiran still felt that he was impatient, which made her afraid to speak a word of nonsense.

She knew that Yan Su had been dealing with Jiang Yang after returning to China, but Jiang Yang somehow attached himself to Huo Qing, a person Yan Su's contacts could not shake no matter how extensive they were. So, he had stopped before long. He really would not hurt himself, so she did not have anything to worry about.

"I accept. Thank you." Qin Yiran thought about it for three seconds and reached out to take the card. She pinched the silver card with the fingertips for her both hands, and as she bowed her head, tears dripped on the card. "Thank you very much!"

While Qin Yiran was crying with joy and on the verge of collapse, there was a clear knock on the door.

"Come in." Nie Jia's voice was somber.

The door opened from the outside. A dark-haired and black-eyed man walked in with a folder. "Doctor Yan, are you free to talk?"

It was Huo Qing. His hair were brushed towards the back of his head. His handsome face was gleaming in the light. His eyes were indifferent but he gave a soft, calm look to Nie Jia, who had shrunk into a ball on the chair.

Qin Yiran was shocked when she saw Huo Qing, but Nie Jia frowned, and his pupils behind the lens constricted when he saw Huo Qing's face.

He was not afraid of anyone, but Nie Jia had a trace of vigilance and displeasure because of the exact face that Huo Qing had. He first saw it when he was young.

First Yan Su, then Anna, and now Huo Qing. Nie Jia said gloomily: [Who is your master?]

[Mr. Nie, I'm sorry. I am not allowed to answer your question.]

Before KK finished speaking, Nie Jia interrupted it anxiously: [Why set the same faces?! What the fuck do you want to do!?]

The system was so terrified that it couldn't help but whimper. [I…. I thought some similar faces in your memory would make you feel happy. I won't do it next time…]

Apparently, it didn't expect that after seeing Huo Qing, Nie Jia would explode like this.

"Dr. Yan?" Huo Qing frowned at him.

Nie Jia glanced at him and immediately shifted his eyes, only to still feel disturbed. "Please sit down. By the way, can your assistant send Miss Qin home?"

Huo Qing smiled happily, and the assistant stepped forward immediately: "Miss Qin, please come with me."

Qin Yiran nodded politely and immediately got up and went out with the assistant.

The assistant wanted to take Qin Yiran home, but just as they went out of the gate of Jiang mansion, a black car sped from a distance and stopped in front of the duo. A panicked man got out of the car and rushed towards them, holding Qin Yiran's shoulders, he hurriedly asked: "Are you okay? You are not hurt, right? You don't have to do stupid things. You are uncle's only relative!"

"I'm okay uncle." Qin Yiran calmed Gu Xueying, turned and thanked the assistant, and waited for him to go before pulling Gu Xueying into the car and solemnly said: "Uncle, you don't need to ask Qins shareholders one by one anymore. Let them go. I will tell you in detail when we get back home."

-5-

In the room, Nie Jia maintained his small movements. He clasped his hands around his calves, and crossed his ankles which looked delicate and had pale, jade like veins. He looked up at Huo Qing. The reflection on the lens made Huo Qing unable to see his eyes, but the young man's posture at this time was completely like a small beast whose territory had been invaded. Huo Qing could completely imagine his eyes now.

Looking at Huo Qing's handsome face, Nie Jia felt very complicated. He thought that after so many years, this face had already been forgotten by him. At the moment when he saw Huo Qing, Nie Jia realized that time could not dilute everything.

"Dr. Yan is not feeling well?" Huo Qing asked when he saw his face pale and frowned slightly.

"It's just a stomachache." Nie Jia said casually. "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Huo?"

Huo Qing unbuttoned his suit when he sat down opposite Nie Jia, handed him the folder in his hand, and smiled. "I want to make an appointment with Dr. Yan."

Nie Jia took the folder and opened it, which contained a medical report. It was not Huo Qing's. The patient's name was Ye Shuming. Nie Jia knew this person due to the plot details, but no one else in the outside world had heard of it.

Ye Shuming was Huo Yun's husband, a famous suspense writer who was once called the great god of suspense, an IP boss , but since four years ago, he suddenly put down his pen, and there was no news about him in the outside world. In fact, Ye Shuming and Huo Yun had suffered an avalanche in a foreign country four years ago. Ye Shuming fell into a glacier to save Huo Yun. At that time, although the rescue was timely, Ye Shuming became vegetative because of a brain injury.

Huo Qing loved his sister, and during this period, he invited famous doctors and experts from all over the world to no avail.

Nie Jia looked up at Huo Qing. He had intended to recommend himself to Huo Qing for improving Ye Shuming's condition in exchange for the Jiang's shares he held in his hand, but how could Huo Qing find him first?

In the original plot, Huo Qing did not take Ye Shuming's medical report to make an appointment with Yan Su. According to the original plot, Yan Su was still in Yunnan at this time. When he returned, Meng Qian's grandfather was in a bad state, and Huo Qing gave up on such a quack doctor.

However, Ye Shuming's trauma was irreversible. No one could save him. Even if Huo Qing didn't give up on Yan Su, Yan Su's skills and experience could not make Ye Shuming open his eyes. It should be said that even this world's highest medical level could not save Ye Shuming.

"I'm sure about his situation, but I have a condition." Nie Jia said. "Didn't you invest in Jiangs' Pacific Cable project? You should have the Jiangs' shares. I want them all."

Huo Qing's expression changed slightly. He didn't care about the small amount of Jinags' shares, but when Ye Shuming was rescued from the glacier, no doctor had said such affirmative words. He had not even heard a word of hope for healing.

"If Dr. Yan can save my brother-in-law, it will be no problem even if you ask for Huo's shares." Huo Qing said solemnly.

Nie Jia waved his hand, "I don't need anything extra, I only want Jiang's shares."

Everyone knew what the Huo's shares meant, but in the youth's mouth, they became redundant.

Huo Qing didn't think he was disgusted, and smiled gently.

Nie Jia suddenly shifted his gaze to stop looking at him, and added, "I want to know the patient's condition before the operation. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning. You can go back now."

He obviously did not want to talk more and hence issued an eviction order.

Huo Qing is distinguished, but no one has ever treated him so coldly. He stood up and buttoned his suit without looking at the young man.

Huo Qing's distinguished status made it so that he had never been treated so coldly by anyone. He stayed still and looked at the young man before standing up to button up his suit. "Then I will be leaving."

Nie Jia didn't move, he saw Huo Qing's long legs suddenly stop in front of him. Then a low and gentle voice poured out. "Dr. Yan, your eyes are so beautiful, but it's a pity you never looked at me."

After talking, Huo Qing turned around and left.

Nie Jia's pupils suddenly widened, even his breathing was disordered for a few seconds. He raised his head just to see Huo Qing's tall and straight back disappear behind the door. He couldn't help feeling a little confusion in his heart.

When he was young, he and Shi Chen met for the first time, and Shi Chen said these words: 'Nie Jia, your eyes are so beautiful.'

"KK, is your master Shi Chen?" Nie Jia asked.

System: [... emmm]

"I remember Shi Chen is now the director of the Imperial Information Security Department?" Nie Jia coldly sneered. "It's easy for the leader of the Information Security Department to hack into the prosecution team's personality detection system. Otherwise, is there anyone else who is so bold?"

System: [... emmm]

"You can try 'em' again." Nie Jia said coldly.

The system immediately cried with grievances: [It's not that I didn't want to say it, it's that the director told me not to speak. QAQ. The director has been investigating the case and looking for evidence to overturn the result of the first trial, but it will take some time. But your criminal personality value was about to reach the verdict standard soon, so the director installed me to help you eliminate the previous records. Moreover, the character and the appearance is not set by me, but by the director himself. I will not carry this pot! Huo Qing is the director. Ask him yourself.]

It really was Shi Chén…. Nie Jia only felt that his heart was suddenly filled with unspeakable emotions, and his face was pale.

"But looking at him, he doesn't seem to remember me." Nie Jia said.

The system said: [The main program is still the personality detection system of the public prosecution team. Tampering with too much data may attract the prosecution team's attention. But you don't have to worry. The director's self-awareness is based on the original consciousness. Although his eyes don't recognize you, his heart knows you.]

Nie Jia was silent for a while, with mixed feelings, joy and inexplicable sadness.

[Mr. Nie, I have to remind you of something.] The system suddenly said. [You are no longer under the control of the prosecution team's system, but just now I detected that you still have a tendency to kill.]

Nie Jia returned to his senses. "I tried my best not to kill Yan Yu."

[No, you did not realize that your urge to kill was not directed at Yan Yu, but at the person who was out of your control. I detected that you have bipolar disorder. Fortunately, this is still within your control, but if your bipolar disorder continues to worsen, I am afraid it will be recorded by the prosecution team's personality detection system.] The system said truthfully.

Nie Jia's eyes were dull and he said lightly: "I know."

When the system detected Nie Jia's bipolar disorder, it realized why the 'Mr. Nie' it was in contact with, was different from the 'Mr. Nie' mentioned by the director. His bipolar disorder was completely forced out by the prosecution team. The prosecution team had completely destroyed his spirit and caused a remodeling of his personality, that's why Mr. Nie's temperament changed drastically.

The system couldn't assume what kind of terrible experience could be simulated to crush a person's spiritual world.

That evening, shortly after Huo Qing left, the banquet that had been utterly ruined was ended early. Nie Jia was in a bad mood and was planning to take a sleeping pill to prepare for sleep when Jiang Yang banged the door.

Originally Jiang He found Yan Yu to embarrass Yan Su. Jiang Yang was also happy to let Yan Su lose his personal image and reputation in public. Although the effect was not satisfactory, in the end, Yan Yu was seen in public. Jiang Yang also deliberately released the news to the media. The next morning, the whole city would know that it was unknown how many times the famous Dr. Yan had sponsored his scum-like father to gamble on drugs. It was such a heartwarming case of filial piety.

But just after the banquet, he found that the major news websites did not report a word about Yan Su, but Qin Yiran's accusation against him was on the front page! The news he deliberately blockaded spread to the whole city suddenly! Jiang Yang knew at a glance that someone was pushing the news behind the scenes. He felt so angry that his lungs were going to explode.

"Yan Su, come out!" Jiang Yang said angrily. "Come out!"

After swallowing the medicine, Nie Jia directly smashed his half-drunk glass of water towards the door of the room. "Roll."

Jiang Yang heard a faint cracking sound, and then water flowed out from under the door, and then there was no movement.

"Yan Su, you are being mum. Then don't blame me for being too ruthless!" Jiang Yang finally punched the door of the room before suppressing the fire in his heart.

Nie Jia was already lying in bed in the room. He was still curled up, his eyes closed and he was slumbering through the faint stomach-ache.

Early the next morning, Nie Jia's mental state was much more stable when he woke up. He knew that he hadn't controlled his impulse last night, and he didn't even want to control it. He woke up and began to consider this issue. Once Yan Yu's identity was disclosed to the outside world, the impact would indeed be bad. Nie Jia connected to the internet and was about to clean up the relevant news, but found that there was no news about him online. The words 'Qin Yiran tricked into marriage', 'Jiang Yang's fraud' and 'Meng Qian – mistress' were all over the place.

Jiang Yang and Meng Qian were dissed by the entire network overnight. After all, such things as 'fraud marriage' would easily arouse the indignation of passers-by, even if they didn't know which household the Jiangs' was, the passers-by A, B and C must abandon him.

Nie Jia was dumbfounded since he guests at the banquet were all people with status and they would not disclose this matter to the outside world. This news had been in full swing from last night until now, and was known throughout the entire Yue City. Someone had deliberately guided the news. Jiang Yang could not let this scandal ferment without taking any action, but now the news had spread everywhere.

The person who deliberately promoted the news must be someone who Jiang Yang couldn't deal with. Who could surpass Jiang Yang in Yue City?

Nie Jia immediately thought of Huo Qing, but he was Jiang Yang's backer. What reason was there to deal with Jiang Yang?

Nie Jia didn't want to think about Huo Qing or Jiang Yang any longer. He took a shower and went to the dining room.

He had not made an exact-time appointment with Huo Qing, intending to finish breakfast at home before boarding the car Huo Qing would send.

"Su Su, is your stomach ache better?" Anna saw her son entering the dining room and immediately filled a bowl of green vegetable porridge and put it in front of him.

"Much better, thank you mom." Nie Jia ignored Meng Qian and scooped a spoonful calmly.

Meng Qian glared at Nie Jia, his chopsticks held tightly. His long-awaited engagement banquet was ruined, and it also affected Jiang Yang's reputation. There were even voices on the Internet who insulted him as a third-party. Meng Qian hated Yan Su.

Jiang Zhaolin, who was reading the financial newspaper, was sitting across the table. Jiang Yang was not present. Nie Jia wondered if he had been busy dealing with the loss of his reputation after the lavish engagement dinner last night.

Jiang Zhaolin suddenly put down the newspaper and looked at Nie Jia very unpleasantly: "Yan Su, what's the matter with your biological father?"

"For people like your biological father, I hope that last night will be the last time. If something similar happens to affect the Jiang family's reputation, you can go back abroad as soon as possible, and never come back!" Jiang Zhaolin scolded unceremoniously.

-6-

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.
