Chapter 2679 - 2683: He’s Not an Idiot!

Chapter 2679: Chapter 2683: He’s Not an Idiot!

Counting the time, he hadn’t seen Huo Zhongqi for several months.

He hadn’t expected that the next time he saw Huo Zhongqi would be under these circumstances.

Huo Zhongqi had already found a family willing to adopt him.

He was going to leave the Huo Family.’

Yes.

Seeing Huo Zhongqi made him feel suffocated, made his heart ache.

Such an excellent seedling, and yet he wasn’t of the Huo bloodline. Just the thought of it made all his internal organs twist with pain; he wished he could somehow make Huo Zhongqi become his biological grandson.

But no matter how rich, powerful, and shrewd he was, blood was something one was born with; it was beyond his control.

Because he wanted so badly for Huo Zhongqi to be his biological grandson, but could not change the fact that he wasn’t, that was why he suffered, why he didn’t want to see Huo Zhongqi.

That did not mean he no longer wanted Huo Zhongqi.

Huo Zhongqi was smart and gifted; as long as he was properly cultivated, his future would be limitless.

Although Huo Zhongqi was not the Huo Family’s biological son and could not inherit Huo Group, he could go into politics or the military and in the future assist the heir of Huo Group.

Not to mention the distant future—just look at what’s in front of them: isn’t that exactly how it is with the Gu Family?

Before his eldest son joined the army, he had carefully inquired about the situation in the military.

Ever since then, he had paid very close attention to news from both the military and the political circles.

He knew a bit about the Gu Family’s affairs.

Senior Gu’s two adopted sons now held very high positions in the military.

After Gu Junzhu retired from the army due to injury, he made a huge splash in the business world, unmatched by anyone.

Right now, the reason he could live so flamboyantly and recklessly was, of course, because of Senior Gu.

But once Senior Gu passed away one day, Wei Hanting and Zhan Jinchuan would be his backing and his protective umbrella.

Anyone who wanted to target Gu Group and Gu Junzhu would first have to consider whether they could endure the fury and retaliation of Wei Hanting and Zhan Jinchuan.

He believed that, with Huo Zhongqi’s exceptional aptitude, as long as he was properly cultivated, once he came of age his achievements would definitely be no less than Wei Hanting’s and Zhan Jinchuan’s.

He had never once thought of giving up on Huo Zhongqi.

Such an excellent seedling—other people couldn’t get him even if they begged; was his family supposed to push him out?

He wasn’t brain-damaged!

But while he wasn’t brain-damaged, his son was.

Faced with such an excellent seedling, his son actually wanted to dig out his heart and transplant it into Huo Zhonglin.

He was so furious his face turned iron-blue, as if his lungs were about to explode from rage.

That idiot, how dare he?

This was a child he had personally raised—how dare he, without discussing it with him, plan to kill the child and swap his heart for Huo Zhonglin’s?

He was shaking all over with anger, his mind a mess, and for a moment he didn’t even know what to say.

"Grandpa," Huo Zhongqi looked at Senior Master Huo and said softly, "finding out I’m not your grandson made me very sad... After I learned I wasn’t your grandson, I cried for a long time... I know you treat me well, but I still don’t want to die, so I can’t use my heart to repay you and my dad for raising me... I’m sorry..."

"Beast! Beast!" Senior Master Huo was trembling all over with rage.

Looking at Huo Zhongqi, he shook his head again and again. "Qiqi, Grandpa never once thought of using your heart to save Linlin, and Grandpa never once thought of not wanting you..."

"But Grandpa doesn’t want to see me anymore..." Huo Zhongqi lowered his eyes. "I missed Grandpa, but every time I came to see you, the butler-grandpa would stop me at the front gate and wouldn’t let me in... Every time, I felt very sad, very hurt..."

Senior Master Huo’s lips trembled. For a long time, he couldn’t get a word out.
