Chapter 553: Chapter 553

Mrs. Xu, who was close by, suddenly became worried when she heard this, "Daughter, if they really kick you out, it won't affect you, will it?

This new director, how can he be ? Wasn't he trying to please you before, asking you to collaborate with them?

How can he just change his face like that, it's too heartless."

Xu Ying's face turned colder, "If they want to breach the contract, they'll have to pay the penalty. The penalty clause in our contract is not a small amount, Director Ge might not dare to breach it.

But I'm quite curious, who has the clout to take over this business."

They were not from a well-known place in Yu County; some businessmen, even if they want to invest, had so many other places to choose from, yet they chose their small Yu County.

This matter was quite surprising to Xu Ying.

Huo Chen drove Xu Ying straight to the hospital.

In the hospital room, Granny Huo was lying alone; seeing Huo Chen, her eyes instantly cooled, "Why are you back?

Grandma is fine, you should be busy with work, continue with your work, don't let me hold you back."

Granny Huo said with teary eyes, feeling old and alone.

At this moment, Granny Huo thought back to when her sons were little. They were so adorable back then; how did they turn into what they are now after growing up?

Huo Chen, seeing Granny Huo's frail appearance, his eyes instantly reddened, and he knelt by the bed, his voice choked as he held Granny Huo's rough hands tightly, "I've temporarily lost my job outside.

I'll stay here with you during this period."

Granny Huo was no longer young, in her seventies this year. Due to overworking in her youth, her health had long been compromised.

Previously, when Xu Ying had married in, Granny Huo was often unwell, but her condition had improved somewhat in the past year with Xu Ying's medical treatments.

But last time, she was so upset by Huo Hanjie that she suffered internal injuries, coupled with her growing nostalgia for when the children were little, she just couldn't move past it.

She suddenly fell ill, fortunately, Xu Da discovered it in time and quickly took her to the hospital.

Examinations showed nothing serious, but Granny Huo's spirits were increasingly down, often muttering to herself.

Mr. Xu, afraid that something would happen to Granny Huo, could only call Huo Chen.

After all, Huo Chen was Granny Huo's grandson; they were closer. A good chat might help lift the old lady's spirits.

"You guys came back pretty quick," Second Aunt Xu said in surprise when she saw them; currently, the men of the house were all busy with the greenhouse and rural tourism business.

The wife was also pregnant and resting at home, leaving only her with not much to do, so she came to the hospital to take care of Granny Huo.

Second Aunt Xu was holding a freshly made chicken soup; Huo Chen took the soup and looked at Second Aunt Xu and Mrs. Xu, "Mom, you and Second Aunt can go back first.

I'm here, that's enough." After saying this, he looked tiredly at Xu Ying, "You go back too, I'll stay with Grandma."

Xu Ying, looking concerned, shook her head, "I'll bring the kids to keep Grandma company.

It's good for the two of us to take turns taking care of her."

Huo Chen, hearing this, his eyes reddened again and he nodded.

Mrs. Xu and Second Aunt Xu then left.

Perhaps because her grandson had returned, Granny Huo felt happier inside; she now looked a bit more lively, raising her head with a smile and comforting him, "I'm alright.

Just missing your grandpa a bit, and also missing your two uncles.

Ah, they were so sweet when they were little, why did they end up like that as they grew up?"

Granny Huo's mind was filled with memories from when her sons were young.

Xu Ying stood to the side, quietly turned on the system, and began monitoring Granny Huo's health.

"Granny Huo, how's she doing?"

[Host, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural cycles of life. Granny Huo is going where she needs to go, within fifteen days at most.]

"Isn't your mall supposed to be the most powerful, selling all kinds of medicines? Don't you have anything that can prolong life?"

[Host, our mall is powerful, and all the medicines inside are top-notch, but when someone's life is up, it's determined by fate, and not something our mall can change.]The system immediately explained in a panic.

He's not King Yama and can't change a person's fate.

After hearing this, Xu Ying's face was full of disappointment. She looked at Granny Huo, unable to stop her heart from hurting.

Now, all she could do was spend more time with Granny Huo. The elderly lady wasn't fond of children, but Xu Ying placed the two little ones next to her.

Perhaps the children didn't sense that Granny Huo had limited time left; they affectionately snuggled close to her and giggled.

"Oh, my sweeties, Granny's little darlings." Granny Huo was overjoyed looking at the children, and a hazy vision of two faces reuniting flashed in her mind: "Da Bao, Er Bao, behave."

Seeing this scene with Granny Huo, Xu Ying felt a pang of pain in her chest: "Huo Chen, shall we get your two uncles here? Let them spend some time with Granny Huo." After all, they are her biological sons; even if they have done wrong, a mother's connection with her children is from the heart; no mother doesn't love her own children.

Huo Chen's head hung low, making it impossible to discern any of his emotions.

After a long time, a tear drop plopped onto the floor. He stood up and said to Xu Ying, "I'll go find people. You stay here and watch over Granny."

Xu Ying nodded her head.

Huo Chen immediately left the hospital, heading for Xujia Village.

When he arrived, Huo Hanjie and Huo Hanjian were working in the fields. Seeing Huo Chen, Huo Hanjie shrank back, "Are you looking for me?"

Huo Chen nodded, "Granny is in the hospital! You two, come with me to the hospital."

Hearing this, Huo Hanjie exploded: "The two of us wouldn't be of any help. We don't have money to pay for her medical bills."

Huo Hanjian, however, had a complex expression as he looked at Huo Chen: "I don't have much money, but I can give what I have if needed."

Huo Hanjie gave his younger brother a disdainful look, showing off for nothing.

Huo Chen's face was expressionless: "You don't need to give money, just come and keep Granny company."

Hearing this, Huo Hanjie immediately laughed and agreed without a second thought.

"If anyone dares to upset Granny, I'll send you off to join her on her journey."

At these words, the faces of Huo Hanjie and Huo Hanjian changed immediately: "What's wrong with mom?"

Huo Chen didn't respond; he turned around and got into the car without looking back.

Huo Hanjian quickly followed him into the car, and Huo Hanjie, after a moment's hesitation, also ran over.

Huo Chen drove to the hospital, glancing hesitantly at the two men.

He wasn't sure if bringing them was the right or wrong thing to do.

Huo Hanjie and Huo Hanjian followed Huo Chen into the hospital and got to the entrance of the ward.

Seeing Granny Huo, who looked shockingly frail after so many days, a pang of heartache flashed through Huo Hanjian's eyes, and tears instantly started flowing.

He rushed into the room and knelt down with a thud in front of Granny Huo, then began to cry uncontrollably, "Mom. I'm sorry, your son has failed you. I should never have angered you like that. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mom."

Granny Huo stared at her two sons for a moment, then looked at her son crying his heart out on the floor, and hardened her heart: "What are you doing here? Get out, all of you."
