Chapter 2678: Chapter 2682: He Can’t Bear This Blow

"Uncle Gu, let me say it," Huo Zhongqi, who was sitting next to Gu Junzhu, stood up and looked at Senior Master Huo. "Grandpa, I want to discuss with you about letting my parents relinquish guardianship, and have Uncle Gu adopt me."

"What?" Senior Master Huo looked at him in shock, doubting his ears. "Qiqi, what did you say? What’s happening to you?"

"Grandpa, I have reasons for doing this," Huo Zhongqi took out a recorder. "Grandpa, listen to this recording first, and then I’ll answer your questions."

Huo Zhongqi pressed the button on the recorder.

The conversation between Huo Qihang and Zang Jiayi echoed in the living room.

The expression on Senior Master Huo’s face gradually shifted from shock to astonishment, then from astonishment to anger, and finally from anger to embarrassment.

After the recording ended, Huo Zhongqi turned off the recorder.

Senior Master Huo’s face turned ashen, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.

Huo Zhongqi looked at Senior Master Huo and calmly said, "Grandpa, I feel that there is no place for me in this family anymore. To save my life, I can only seek Uncle Gu’s protection. It was I who begged Uncle Gu to protect me. I hope you don’t blame Uncle Gu."

Senior Master Huo looked at Huo Zhongqi, his heart filled with pain.

This child has been smart since childhood.

Wise and perceptive.

With a photographic memory.

When he discovered by chance that this child had a photographic memory and was exceptionally smart, he was overjoyed.

After a period of observation, he concluded that this child was outstanding and, with proper nurturing, would certainly achieve great things in the future.

He found a promising seedling and considered him the future hope of the Huo Family. He valued him highly and brought Huo Zhongqi to his side, personally nurturing him.

In the past years, all the teachers he hired for Huo Zhongqi were the best, providing comprehensive training.

Huo Zhongqi never let him down; regardless of the field, he consistently achieved the best, most perfect results.

It could be said that in the Huo Family, aside from his eldest son, the one he valued and loved the most was Huo Zhongqi.

In fact, Huo Zhongqi was even more beloved and proud than his eldest son, who once filled him with pride.

In front of his friends, he could not hide his pride when mentioning Huo Zhongqi.

The second generation of the Huo Family included his eldest son and second son.

The third generation of the Huo Family includes Huo Zhongqi.

The Huo Family could thrive for at least another sixty to seventy years.

He felt he was very fortunate.

The saying "wealth does not last beyond three generations" would certainly not apply to the Huo Family.

Yet, at the height of his success, he was struck by the greatest blow.

Huo Zhongqi turned out not to be his biological grandson.

Not the blood of the Huo Family.

His biological grandson was a sick child afflicted with congenital heart disease and would not live much longer.

He was severely shaken, falling ill because of this revelation.

After learning the truth, he did not see Huo Zhongqi for a long time.

He could not bear the impact.

The child he loved the most, put so much effort into, was not of the Huo family’s blood.

How could he bear such a burden?

He had always been grooming Huo Zhongqi as the heir of the third generation of the Huo Family.

In the third generation of the Huo Family, aside from Huo Zhongqi, all others were mediocre.

The most outstanding one, Huo Zhongqi, was not of the Huo family’s blood.

Then who would he entrust the future of the Huo Family to?

Every time he saw Huo Zhongqi, he couldn’t control his anxiety and anger.

He was grieving.

Grieving that such a good seed was not of the Huo family’s blood.

Every time he saw Huo Zhongqi, he felt displeased in his heart.

Therefore, he distanced himself from Huo Zhongqi.
