Huo Shaofeng’s face was cold as he listened to his mother cry for a long time. Suddenly, his expression turned ferocious and he kicked the bed.
“It’s him, it must be him! I’m going to kill him!”
Huo Shaofeng’s sudden outburst frightened Mrs. Huo. She stared blankly at everything, not knowing how to react.
Until Huo Shaofeng grabbed her hand and said like a madman, “Mom, it must be Huo Chenhuan, it must be him! That cripple, he’s the one who caused me to become like this, it must be him!”
“How did you know it was him? Why would he harm you for no reason?” Mrs. Huo snapped out of her daze. Then she seemed to remember something, and she panicked. “Did you do something? Tell me, did you do something again?”
Huo Chenhuan did have a few conflicts with them recently, but it was always her son who provoked them.
It was precisely because she knew this that Mrs. Huo asked this question.
Huo Shaofeng’s face darkened, and his tone went up a few notches. “I didn’t, I didn’t do anything. It was him, this cripple, who saw that my limbs were healthy! He must have been jealous, so he harmed me and wanted to turn me into a cripple like him. Yes, that must be it!”
Huo Shaofeng’s voice was loud, but his eyes kept darting around.
Mrs. Huo knew her son well and could tell that he wasn’t telling the truth. She said resentfully, “If he was really jealous of you, he would have done it a long time ago and wouldn’t have waited until now. Shaofeng, tell me honestly. What exactly happened? What did you do? Do you still want to hide it from me at this time?”
Huo Shaofeng choked. After a while, he said reluctantly, “I just… I heard that someone wanted to mess with Su Yayan. They even wanted to fabricate news of her having an affair, so I got someone to add fuel to the fire. I revealed the fact that that cripple is my uncle. I wanted to confirm her motive.”
Mrs. Huo tightened her fists in disbelief. “That’s all?”
“That’s all.” Huo Shaofeng’s face was pale. “After the news was leaked, many people started to scold Su Yayan. They even mocked the cripple for being old, ugly, and crippled. Perhaps… perhaps that’s why he suddenly harmed me. No, it’s not possible. It must be him. There’s no one else but him!”
Mrs. Huo still couldn’t believe that Huo Chenhuan would cripple her son’s hand because of this. However, she couldn’t think of anyone else in the short term, so she said indignantly, “You only said a few bad things about him, and he got angry at you. He even got someone to harm you! Besides, what you told him was the truth. He’s just a cripple, so why would he be afraid of being exposed? We can’t just let this matter go. We have to get him to compensate you!”
“No matter how much he compensates me, my hand won’t recover.” Huo Shaofeng’s eyes were dark, and there was a hint of resentment in them. “But Mom, you’re right. We can’t just let this go. Where’s Dad? Did you tell Dad about what happened to me?”
The expression on Mrs. Huo’s face suddenly froze. She lowered her head and said, “No, your dad has to sign an important contract this morning. His phone is switched off, so we can’t contact him.”
Huo Shaofeng did not suspect anything. “Then tell him after he’s done talking. By the way, where’s Xiaoping? Did you see her when you came over?”
“Xiaoping? You mean Wen Jingping? You went to the bar with her?” Madam Wen’s expression changed when she heard Huo Shaofeng’s words, and she looked at her son with more dissatisfaction.. “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from that little b*tch? Why are you with her again? Will you die without her?! She poisoned you!”
