Chapter 204: Don't worry, I'm still chasing!

ed, leisurely and smiling again: “Shaoting even asked me to do it. Why doesn’t he take the case himself If he were to fight it, there's a very high chance of overturning the verdict and being found in...Ho Shaoting clenched his phone, nodding: "I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, he stared at Wen Man.

Wen Man also heard, she whispered: “You go quickly, drive carefully!”

Ho Shaoting's Adam's apple bobbed.

He actually really wanted her to follow him and show the old woman, but their current relationship might not agree, and even if she went, it would be a reluctant trip.

Ho Shaoting pondered for a moment, then whispered, "I might be busy for a while!"

Wen Man didn't treat him coldly like she used to, she nodded.

As she got out of the car, Huo Shaoting suddenly rolled down the window and said to her, "Wen Man..."

She stood in the darkness waving at him: "Go quickly!"

Ho Shao-ting still gazed at her and gently pressed the accelerator.

He spent two hours driving to the eastern suburbs. His mother-in-law, who is also Huo Zhendong's mother, has always lived here because the air is good and suitable for recuperation.

Tonight must be the last night, he started talking nonsense in the evening.

The nurse hurriedly made a phone call. When Huo Zhendong came over to take a look, he knew that the old lady was in trouble. So he quickly called all his children and grandchildren to see her off.

The old woman was holding on with her last breath, waiting for him.

Ho Shao-ting stopped the car and hurried to the old lady's bedroom. The Huo family members made way for him, and Huo Zhendong even whispered in the old lady's ear, "Grandma, Shao-ting is here to see you!"

The old woman was already at death's door.

But hearing footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes, and in that instant the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch.

His eyes were especially bright.

As expected, the old woman sat up again.

He Shao-ting strode over and knelt before her, grasping her emaciated hand and kissing it.

The old woman reached out and touched his hair.

She loved her grandson so much. He was handsome and intelligent from a young age, far more so than others. The only problem was that he never married. She hadn't even held a great-grandchild yet.

The old woman's mind was clear, and she spoke slowly: "During the New Year, your mother told me that you found a rabbit in the zodiac, and said she would bring her over for me to see. Shao Ting... why didn't you bring her over for me to take a look"

Huo Shaoting raised his eyes and gazed gently at the old woman's silvery hair.

He smiled gently: “She’s working overtime and didn’t have time to call her.”

The old woman's face contorted: "You just try to coax me! ... I know your temper well, you must have angered the young lady!"

He Shaoting still had a faint smile on his face as he hummed, "Yes, I made her angry! I'm still chasing… I'll bring her over to see Grandma another day, and have Grandma say a few good words for me!"

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as he's still chasing, it's fine!"

She pressed him further, asking what kind of girl she was.

Ho Shao Ting afraid she couldn't hear, leaned close to her ear and said very softly, "You're a beautiful girl! You're usually pretty well-behaved but when you get angry, don't underestimate it!"

The old woman listened intently.

She was nearing the end of her life, with many regrets. She murmured, "I wish I could see it with my own eyes!"

Inside the house, the women of the Huo family were crying in a heap.

The old woman was kind and everyone felt reluctant to see her go, but everyone knew this was their last goodbye...

Ho Shaoting patted the old woman's head.

He reached out and took his phone, whispering, "Can I have her talk to you Once she speaks, grandma will know I haven't lied..."

The old woman's eyes lit up.

He Shao-ting dialed Wen Man's phone. The phone rang, one ring after another...

Wen Man took it.

Ho Shao-ting's voice was hoarse: "Grandma wants to say a few words to you."

Wen Man guessed his intentions, he wanted the old woman to leave peacefully. She remained silent for a few seconds before humming in agreement.

Ho Shaoting pressed the phone to the old woman's ear.

Over there, Wen Man held her phone, listening to the words of an unfamiliar elderly person telling her to bear more burdens. This reminded her of the regret of being unable to see her father for the last time.

When Dad left, what kind of regrets did he leave with

Her heart ached. She didn't want this old woman to leave with regrets, even if it meant deceiving her, she would give her some comfort in her final moments on earth.

Wen Man said lightly, "Don't worry, Grandma, I will!"

Wen Man spoke.

Grandma Huo had a smile on her lips and her eyes began to dilate, but she never put down her phone.

Wen Man clutched her phone, sensing the fading of a life...

She could feel Huo Shaoting's sorrow.

……

It had already been half a month since they last met.

Wen Man knew he had finished the funeral for Mrs. Huo, she flew to England and attended Joan's first divorce court hearing with her producer husband.

But Wen Man didn't read the specifics.

She downplayed her feelings, naturally she wouldn't care how Qiao An was doing...

The day Huo Shaoting returned to China, he called her: "Let's meet!"

Wen Man was in her apartment. He wanted to come over, but Wen Man didn't agree. She just softly said, "Go to your place!"

He Shaoting drove over, it was already dusk.

The cicadas in the trees chirped incessantly, adding a bit of excitement to the evening.

Wen Man went downstairs and saw Huo Shaoting leaning against the car. When he saw her coming, he opened the car door for her and asked lightly, "Where's Xiaobai"

Wen Man got into the car and said naturally, "Take me to my mom's place!"

Ho Shao-ting gazed at her.

It had been half a month since he'd seen her, and his gaze now held a hint of something more. Wen Man lowered her eyes to avoid his stare.

He smiled and closed the car door.

When he sat beside her, he absentmindedly fastened his seatbelt. After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you ask".Then he wanted to say something to her, to ease the tension, but Huo Xi had already walked to the other side to add some paper money to the basin. The firelight illuminated her face, casting a pale b...
