Huo Cheng suspected that there must be some ulterior motives behind these two people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have so easily come to the Huo Mansion to snatch someone, and in such a stupid way. Not only did they walk right into a trap, but they also got involved personally.
This was really not something the Huo family members would do. The eldest sister and the second brother of the Huo family were not stupid people. They both had powerful forces behind them. The last time they tried to snatch the baby, it was because Mrs. Huo was there.
This time... it was really hard to explain.
As he walked, Huo Cheng found himself outside the baby's room. He gently pushed open the door and saw Gu Sisi and Yang Qian talking on the balcony. Just as he was about to turn around and leave,
"When I first went to the Huo family, I thought a lot. I didn't know what kind of environment Huo Cheng had grown up in, what his parents were like, and whether they would like me..."
Huo Cheng suddenly heard Gu Sisi's voice, talking about her state of mind when she first went to the Huo family. For some reason, Huo Cheng wanted to listen to what Gu Sisi had to say.
Regarding that period of time when he was absent, Huo Cheng had also wondered what would happen when he left Gu Sisi alone in the Huo Mansion. At that time, he was worried but had no choice because he was being punished by the Huo family.
At that time, Gu Sisi was three months pregnant. When she first came to the Huo Mansion, she received chicken soup with abortion pills in it. They were so bold in the Huo Mansion. If she left the Huo Mansion and Huo Cheng was so far away, he really couldn't guarantee Gu Sisi's safety.
Moreover, with Mr. and Mrs. Huo, the eldest sister, and the second brother all eyeing her covetously, once she left the Huo family, without that implicit rule, Gu Sisi's safety couldn't be guaranteed.
In the Huo Mansion, no matter how difficult it was, at least Gu Sisi was still alive.
But Huo Cheng never expected that Gu Sisi had gone through so many things in the Huo family. No wonder...
Suddenly, Huo Cheng understood why Gu Sisi, while pregnant, had gone to the Valley of Death to look for him. That place was so far away and remote, and it sounded so terrifying.
His girl, that little woman who was afraid of going to a haunted house, how could he not have thought about what had made her set foot on the path to the Valley of Death without hesitation.
He thought that at that time, Gu Sisi must have been worried about his safety while also wanting to escape from the Huo family. So, she would rather go to the seemingly dangerous and terrifying Valley of Death than stay in the Huo family peacefully.
Maybe in her eyes at that time, the Huo family full of hidden arrows was far more terrifying than the unknown future. Huo Cheng had forgotten how simple the environment was in which Gu Sisi had grown up.
At least her family was harmonious, not like his Huo family. The children in the Huo family fought against each other. They believed in the wolf - like education, which was the reason why Huo Cheng had hated the Huo family since childhood.
He always felt that the Huo family was very depressing. There was no sincerity among people. Everyone was fighting for their own interests. Everyone wanted a share of the pie, so they all fought. There was no sense of siblinghood, and no one taught them these things.
So they had been fighting since childhood. Everything seemed harmonious on the surface, but in fact, everyone had their own agenda. As soon as they saw someone threatening their status, they would immediately take action.
This was also the reason why Huo Cheng had moved out of the Huo Mansion. At that time, his fifth sister, Huo Xin, also didn't want to stay in the Huo family because she didn't like such wolf - like education, so she went abroad.
The last time she came back was because Huo Cheng hoped that she would take care of Gu Sisi. Huo Cheng knew his fifth sister's personality and knew that she would treat Gu Sisi well.
Among all the members of the Huo family, maybe only his fifth sister, Xin'er, would recognize Gu Sisi's identity. Plus, Huo Xin and Gu Sisi were about the same age. Huo Cheng thought that the two of them should be able to get along well.
Who would have thought that this still couldn't stop Gu Sisi from going out to look for him. On the contrary, it was precisely because his fifth sister took Gu Sisi out shopping to relax that Gu Sisi got the chance.
Of course, this incident also led to Huo Xin being grounded.
If it weren't for Huo Xin's timely notice, Huo Cheng wouldn't have known that Gu Sisi had been so bold as to go to the Valley of Death alone.
Following Gu Sisi's voice, Huo Cheng gradually recalled the past. Gu Sisi was talking about what had happened at that time as well as her state of mind then. Most of her feelings were negative, either fear or uneasiness.
In short, it seemed that Gu Sisi hadn't had a single peaceful day in the Huo family. Whether it was petty quarrels or deliberate schemes, Gu Sisi, who was not prepared for any of these,
had suffered a lot in the Huo Mansion at that time. She had fallen into one trap after another and suffered one loss after another, which also made Mr. and Mrs. Huo dislike her.
All the things that Huo Cheng had never heard Gu Sisi mention before, she was saying now. Gu Sisi was looking into the distance, while Yang Qian was focusing her eyes on Gu Sisi. Neither of them noticed that Huo Cheng had been standing behind them for a long time until Gu Sisi finally finished speaking.
When the door closed, one could still hear Yang Qian crying. Huo Cheng also really wanted to cry like Yang Qian. He didn't even need to think to know that Gu Sisi must be in tears now.
With her timid personality, being pregnant and going through so much alone, Huo Cheng thought that she must be full of grievances.
Huo Cheng hated this feeling very much. Just like when another child was left in the Huo family and he couldn't snatch the baby back, his wife had suffered grievances and he couldn't do anything.
He punched the wall. The pain made Huo Cheng sober up a little.
He went to the place where the eldest sister and the second brother were being held and found Jiang Lihao. Mr. Huo stared at the eldest sister and the second brother, these two familiar yet strange people, lost in thought.
He was thinking about how these two people had treated his Gu Sisi when he was not around. How had they framed and schemed against her again and again, making Gu Sisi so uncomfortable and making his parents dislike her so much.
No matter what the motives of these two people were for coming here, Huo Cheng just wanted to teach them a lesson and let them know that his wife was not someone to be bullied.
On the side, Jiang Lihao looked at Huo Cheng with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Let's go, let's go. What are you looking at? There's nothing interesting here. Don't worry, they won't escape. There are so many people watching."
Saying that, Jiang Lihao stretched. "I'm hungry. What time is it, Brother Huo?"
"Five o'clock," Huo Cheng looked at his watch and answered him.
"Five o'clock!" Jiang Lihao immediately pulled a long face, looking exhausted. He wondered why he was so hungry. It turned out it was already five o'clock. They had been interrupted by the eldest sister and the second brother of the Huo family when they were cooking. They hadn't eaten anything yet.
So Jiang Lihao turned around and glared at the two of them. Humph, it was all their fault.
The two of them didn't know why they were glared at by Jiang Lihao. They looked at each other, really not knowing what was going on. They had been very obedient just now, perfectly playing the role of prisoners. What was Jiang Lihao up to?
