"Once inside the palace gates, one is forever lost." If this saying were applied to Dr. Yang, it would be "Once inside the Huo family, one is forever ensnared."
Dr. Yang never imagined that this challenge would be so great. From time to time, he had the feeling that he had bitten off more than he could chew.
In the Huo family, Dr. Yang had to face the pressure from Mr. and Mrs. Huo. These two never visited their son themselves, but they liked to ask Dr. Yang for updates all the time.
On the other hand, he had to deal with that little brat, Huo Zhen. At that time, Huo Zhen had just been disabled for a little over a year. In that very year, he had managed to drive away countless senior experts. Dr. Yang remembered that when he was about to come to the Huo family, someone kindly advised him to think twice.
That person was also a senior expert who had once worked for the Huo family. He was highly respected, had an excellent character, and had stayed in the Huo family longer than anyone else. He was also one of the few senior experts that Dr. Yang truly respected.
Dr. Yang still remembered the old gentleman's warning. He said that the third young master of the Huo family was a withdrawn person who didn't like to get close to others. He also had a rather bad temper and would never stop scolding others until they were in tears.
However, the Huo family never disciplined him. Instead, they indulged him, which was why so many senior experts had been driven away. If it hadn't been for this, Dr. Yang might not have gotten the chance.
In terms of salary, this position in the Huo family was quite lucrative. At that time, Dr. Yang was eager to change his life and pursue a new one. How could he listen to the old gentleman's words?
Instead of taking it seriously, he asked the old gentleman more about Huo Zhen. He just wanted to know what kind of person this Huo Zhen was.
Dr. Yang thought that perhaps the age gap between these senior experts and Huo Zhen was too large, resulting in a communication gap. He also heard that Huo Zhen's problems were mostly psychological.
Thinking that he was a doctoral degree holder in psychology and quite young, while the other person was just a kid no matter how much he threw tantrums, Dr. Yang wasn't afraid. He thought that he could handle it no matter what.
So, the old gentleman tried to persuade him for a long time, telling him not to enter the Huo family because it was far more complicated than he imagined. But Dr. Yang only listened to half of it, the half that would be beneficial to his future work.
Unable to resist the temptation of money and fame, Dr. Yang finally came to the Huo family. At first, he was really intrigued. The Huo family was so prominent that it was beyond what Dr. Yang had ever seen before.
Naturally, as soon as he arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Huo tried to use both rewards and punishments on him. Of course, the threats outweighed the rewards. Maybe because of his young age, they didn't trust him very much. They only hired him because they had no other choice.
The Huo family had invited all the well - known senior doctors. Although Dr. Yang was a young and talented person, he still lacked some experience.
The Huo family members were never easy to deal with. Fortunately, Dr. Yang had talked with the old gentleman for half a night before coming and had some understanding of the situation in the Huo family. He also guessed that Mr. and Mrs. Huo would act like this. He thought that maybe rich and powerful families were just like this, so he didn't take it to heart.
Now that he thought about it, compared to Huo Zhen, Mr. and Mrs. Huo were really gentle. Dr. Yang took a sip of his coffee and continued to think about Huo Zhen back then. He thought it was really a miracle that he had persisted for so many years.
Dr. Yang even admired himself. Although Huo Zhen was just a kid back then, the Huo family had always adopted a wolf - like education method. And Huo Zhen wasn't born disabled.
Suddenly losing his legs and becoming a useless person was simply a disgrace in the eyes of the Huo family. This was also the reason why Huo Zhen had always been so irritable and uncooperative.
Dr. Yang thought that he actually didn't want to live at all. If it weren't for his persistence over the years, Huo Zhen might have really been gone long ago.
Suddenly feeling so great, Dr. Yang held his coffee and smiled. Then he saw Huo Zhen, who was reading a book not far away, giving him a contemptuous look.
He remembered that once Mrs. Huo had told him that no matter what, he must keep Huo Zhen alive. For these simple ten words, Dr. Yang didn't know how much effort he had put in.
When he first met Huo Zhen, Dr. Yang greeted him in various ways, introduced himself, and said that he wanted to be friends with Huo Zhen. But unfortunately, Huo Zhen didn't even bother to look at him.
If he hadn't seen Huo Zhen lose his temper and scold others with his own eyes, Dr. Yang would have thought for a while that Huo Zhen was not only disabled in his legs but also deaf, mute, and blind, always unable to see or hear him talking.
Dr. Yang still remembered that the first time he saw Huo Zhen get angry was when the food was being delivered. At that time, Dr. Yang had just arrived. He shamelessly talked to Huo Zhen, introduced himself, and tried to communicate. Of course, at that time, only Dr. Yang was talking, while Huo Zhen had a dead -pan face and sat there like a wooden statue the whole time.
Dr. Yang thought that he should take it slowly. After all, it was a psychological problem. As long as he didn't hurt others, it would be okay. It was just autism. At least his personal safety was guaranteed.
Looking at Huo Zhen's appearance, he didn't seem like an autistic patient who would attack others. He thought that maybe the old gentleman had deliberately exaggerated to scare him and stop him from coming to the Huo family.
This job wasn't as difficult as he had imagined, Dr. Yang thought proudly until he saw someone come to deliver food to Huo Zhen.
That day, it was a little girl who came to deliver the food. She came in and put the food down for Huo Zhen. Huo Zhen was sitting at the dining table at that time. There was also a portion for Dr. Yang in the food. Dr. Yang took it, thanked her, and then started to eat.
He thought that no matter how autistic Huo Zhen was, he would at least be able to eat by himself. But what happened next completely refreshed Dr. Yang's worldview.
It turned out that in this world, naughty kids were already a good kind. Huo Zhen was no longer a naughty kid. He was a wolf, no, a mad dog. Dr. Yang just wanted to describe Huo Zhen as a mad dog.
When the little girl put the food down, Huo Zhen suddenly went crazy. He shouted and scolded at the top of his lungs. Dr. Yang thought that not only the little girl but even a grown man would be scolded to tears by Huo Zhen.
The way Huo Zhen scolded was really something. If he hadn't felt so sorry for the little girl, in another situation, Dr. Yang would definitely have clapped his hands in admiration for Huo Zhen's scolding.
It was really a sin. At that time, he actually thought that Huo Zhen was mute. If this person was really mute, then there would be no one who could talk.
After listening for a long time, Huo Zhen started scolding from the moment the girl began to place the food and didn't stop until she had finished. The young master was still scolding. Naturally, the girl didn't dare to leave and just stood there obediently listening.
Huo Zhen didn't use any dirty words when scolding, but he was good at scolding in various ways and with great momentum. In fact, he rarely scolded the girl directly. Most of the time, he scolded the Huo family members indirectly, but he still made the girl cry.
Beast, beast. In his memory, Dr. Yang had scolded him a beast in his heart on the very first day he met Huo Zhen. This boy was really too young at that time, but his temper was incredibly bad.
Dr. Yang watched as the little girl came over with a sad face and left in tears. He silently blessed the little girl in his heart that she would never be assigned the task of delivering food to Huo Zhen again.
