Chapter 812: Chapter 811: I’m Sorry Chapter 812: Chapter 811: I’m Sorry “I know!” Huo Beijiang nodded, but showed no intention of stopping, speaking slowly, “However, you don’t deserve any respect from me.”
Huo Linong’s face flushed red, suddenly realizing his son still hated him.
In the past, even at his worst, he wouldn’t have acted this way; now, it was clear he was doing it deliberately to upset him.
“I’m sorry!” Huo Linong apologized, feeling guilty.
“You really should be sorry.” Huo Beijiang said with a sneer, biting on his cigarette.
“If you want to hate me, go ahead! I won’t blame you.”
After Huo Linong said this, he found his son looking at him as if he were an idiot, which confused him greatly, “Why… why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’m figuring out just how much of an idiot you actually are? There’s the Virgin Mary in Christianity, and here I see Saint Father Huo Linong,” Huo Beijiang said, nodding to himself, thinking he had chosen his words very precisely.
The days he was forced to attend church by his grandmother were still clear in his mind; he was reluctant to go, and his grandmother would always put on a pitiful face to persuade him. Later, after meeting his wife there, he would happily go every week.
Thinking of his wife, the mockery and coldness in Huo Beijiang’s eyes softened considerably. Looking at Huo Linong in front of him, his irritation eased a bit.
He flicked his cigarette ash, planning to leave, and threw out one last comment, “You can be discharged from the hospital now, don’t keep freeloading here.”
“Xiao Ying said if I get discharged, you’ll beat me up.” Huo Linong sounded a bit cowardly.
Huo Beijiang bared his teeth, “He really knows me well.”
Huo Linong: “…” So you really intend to hit me?
“Discharge immediately. Mom’s funeral still needs you to personally oversee it.” This was his debt to Yuan Xueshan, “After the case is closed, take the urn back to the Imperial City for burial in the Huo family ancestral tomb.”
In the Imperial City Public Cemetery, there is a large private area belonging to the Huo family, where several founding generals of the Huo family are buried, including Huo Beijiang’s grandfather, his great-grandfather, and Huo Dongfeng. Each person buried there was a hero with distinguished military service, dedicated to the country and its people.
Upon hearing this, Huo Linong’s face changed dramatically, “No!” Leng Peixi would go crazy if she knew. No, wait! That woman was already crazy.
A madwoman is capable of anything, unpredictable.
“Heh…” Huo Beijiang sneered, “What you say doesn’t count, now I’m the one who decides in the Huo family.”
“Beijiang, can we not be so stubborn? That was part of the agreement I had with Leng Peixi before…”
“So that’s one of many conditions you agreed to. You really are a pushover!”
“Comrade Huo Linong, my decision will not change. I could turn a blind eye before and let you keep mom in Qi Li Town. That was because the local customs there were good, and the neighbors would show respect to the Huo family on behalf of mom. But now it’s different, she’s dead, and I think she wanted to go to the Imperial City before she died!”
As he said the last words, he rubbed his forehead irritably, struggling to contain his inner fury.
He knew Yuan Xueshan had many faults, and this time, she was deceived because she wanted to go to the Imperial City behind their backs, trusting Leng Peixi. But even so, she had still taken care of his mother.
This was something no one could change.
Huo Beijiang closed his eyes in agony, having already come out; he would not continue to wallow in pain.
