Chapter 8 Undertones of Compassion

"Get rid of this child, I'll take you away, go anywhere you want, get rid of these troubles in the future, and never mess with them again, okay?" The man held the woman's pale body with trembling hands. His face, the amplitude of his body, and even the woman's body trembled, and in the man's red eye sockets, it seemed that the dark brown irises were bloodshot, "It was a mistake at the beginning, now let's go and end this mistake together, and then Let's start all over again, from scratch, okay? Su Mo!"

The woman looked at the man who was about to fall into madness in front of her eyes, her deep eyes were filled with compassion, she reached out and held the palm on her face, and her voice was as soft as snow falling on the surface of an unfrozen lake, with some words Feeling sad, "Aye, I can't go back."

"Su Mo-"

"You're right. It was wrong from the very beginning. Everything was wrong from the very beginning. But Ah Ye, you said something wrong. Mistakes can be ended, but you can't start from scratch. "The tears in the woman's eyes were faltering. There was no ignorant joy or naive expectation in the clear eyes, but only the calmness after going through vicissitudes. "I will not kill the child, and I will not leave you. I have come to where I am today. I don’t blame anyone for my situation, and I will never expect anyone to take me out of this swamp that devours people, no one is anyone’s salvation, and I am not yours.”

"Su Mo, you—"

Hearing the woman's words, the man's eyes sparkled fiercely, but before he finished speaking, the woman broke free from his restraint.

"Go back, Ye, be obedient, don't quarrel with your father anymore, he always has his own intentions for your arrangements, he is your father, no matter what decision he makes, it is always for your own good." The woman smoothed things out. Wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "As for your elder brother...if you can stay away from him."

"Don't mention that bastard!" The woman's last words completely made the man fly into a rage, "I wish I could kill him!"

The woman smiled bitterly, "Don't be angry, no matter what he does, he is still your elder brother... His bones are broken and his tendons are still connected. Your father's greatest wish is that you brothers are in harmony. He is old and his health is not good. Too many things have happened in the past two years, and he cannot withstand more storms."

"Shut up!" the man sternly shouted, his expression so ferocious that veins appeared on his forehead, "Su Mo! Tell me honestly, did you really have to marry him back then? Did he really coerce you? You don't want to talk to me?" Let's go, are you still reluctant to be called Mrs. Huo? Huh?"

Compared to the man's loss of control, the woman just looked at each other calmly and said flatly, "Aye, you should grow up."

The look in the woman's eyes completely irritated him, and he yelled at the woman in a breakdown, "Don't look at me with your pitiful eyes! You are not qualified!"

In his life, he rarely lost control like that, but it was the first time because of a look in his eyes.

When did that look appear in a woman's eyes?

When he first discovered those eyes, he was shocked by their cleanliness and clarity.

He was born in a so-called big family, and since he was a child, every pair of eyes he has seen is complicated and dirty, even a child.There are too many things in their eyes, greed, desire, scheming... all kinds of things, the clothes are bright and the inside is ugly.

He always thought that the eyes of all people in the world were like this, showing all the background colors in people's hearts nakedly, until he saw those eyes that were so clear that they were frighteningly clear, those eyes were so clean, so clean It is like the snow on the top of the mountain that is not stained with dust, and the world is not stained with muddy light. Before saying anything, he laughed and said it was a human face. Only after seeing those eyes did he know that this word can also be used to refer to human eyes.

Things that are too pure may not belong to this world by nature, and they are destined not to last forever.

How long has it been?Those eyes lost their clarity and began to have a base color.

But when did that background color become pity...

"Knock Knock-"

The gentle knock on the door knocked twice, interrupting the silence in the room and the man's contemplation. He raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, calmed down his chaotic thoughts and expression on his face, "Come in."

"Sir, the young master is here." The housekeeper supported the door that was pushed open, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the official documents on the desk that hadn't been moved for two hours. He paused, and stopped stepping into the house. "The eldest lady came with her."

The man's hand that just picked up the pen paused slightly, "Did their mother and son come together?"

"Yes, the young master and the eldest madam seem to be a little unhappy." There was a thick gunpowder smoke between the mother and the child, causing the servants of the mansion to avoid it. Although the relationship between the mother and the child was not as close as it appeared on the surface , but disputes and unhappiness have always been put behind others, so it is rare to see it on the face.

"Unhappy?" The man twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "When did their mother and son have a good time?"

Regarding the words of his master, the butler wisely did not answer.He has been in the Huo family for so many years, and has witnessed their grievances and entanglements from beginning to end. He knows what to say and what not to say. It is always right to listen more and speak less.The grievances between them have long been inseparable. If there were no accidents back then, there might still be hope for reconciliation, but things have reached this point, and they will never stop until death, let alone the current situation.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The butler nodded in agreement, and gently closed the door and went downstairs. The butler went downstairs, and saw two mothers and sons with distinct boundaries between Chuhe and Han, one standing in front of the window and the other sitting on the sofa. I don't even want to pretend.

"Master, sir, please go up."

Before Huo Yuanyang could turn around and go upstairs, the lady sitting on the sofa made a sound.

"and many more."

"Is there something wrong, madam?"

"I have something I want to talk to Shouye." She looked at her son who was getting ready to go upstairs, then got up from the sofa, stroked the skirt of the exquisite suit, and the meaning was obvious, she wanted to go upstairs together .

"Sir and Young Master have a business discussion, Madam, please sit down for a while." The butler's attitude was respectful but tough.

It is obviously not the first time for the eldest lady to enjoy such treatment. Since the old man passed away, this mansion has changed owners. In the eyes of outsiders, the noble lady of the Huo family has completely lost her place in the old house of the Huo family. Don't look at the housekeeper. The attitude is respectful and respectful, but his master is just putting on a show for the sake of looking good.

"It's okay, I happen to have some business to ask Shouye, let's just go together." The eldest lady just smiled, and didn't care much about the butler's attitude.

But the housekeeper didn't answer the conversation, just stood sideways in front of the stairs, didn't make a sound and didn't intend to ask her to go upstairs.

Huo Yuanyang had no intention of helping his mother out of the siege, so he nodded slightly to the housekeeper and went upstairs.

"Far Yang!"

Looking at her son who went straight upstairs, the eldest lady seemed a little annoyed, but she was concerned about the occasion.

Huo Yuanyang paused for a moment and didn't look back, "Mother, sit down for a while, after I finish talking with my uncle, my mother can talk to my uncle again."

The lady's well-maintained fingers were tightly twisting the bag of the handbag, and her face was blue and white. After her husband passed away, their mother and son were in a difficult situation. Fortunately, they have been dependent on each other for so many years. The son is obedient and filial, and he is about to get over it, but now Her only hope is turning against her?She has worked hard and endured for so many years, and this is the result?

Huo Yuanyang went upstairs, but the housekeeper was inconvenient to stay and stare with the eldest lady, and ordered the servants to take care of the tea, and the housekeeper left the hall and returned to his post.

"...The progress of this negotiation is smoother than expected. The original industrial model is maintained, and the equipment of the assembly line is updated. The only focus that needs to be integrated is still the management team."

While explaining briefly, Huo Yuanyang turned the information in his hand to the key points and handed it to Huo Shouye who was across the desk, and Huo Shouye took it and looked it over carefully.

"After the company grows bigger, the chaotic family management model can no longer control the huge industry, resulting in year-on-year losses in the industry that should have made money. Even if the production line continues to shrink, the capital chain is still broken, and finally completely passive. I have already started looking for candidates for the management team. , the list is attached, Chairman, you can refer to it.”

It was the first time that Huo Yuanyang sat at this desk calmly and reported the work progress, speaking in a business-like manner without a trace of personal emotion, which caused Huo Shouye to look at him distractedly from the report in his hand in a little surprise.

"What about the progress in Europe?" Huo Shouye scanned the documents in his hand at a glance. The progress of this merger and acquisition case was better than he expected, and even exceeded his expectations.The growth of this nephew in the past two years has also exceeded his expectations. In the past two years, he had quarreled with him because of a small project, but now he can independently take charge of cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and he can't fault it.His eldest brother was ambitious but short-sighted when he was alive, and the son he gave birth to was more capable than him.

"There is still a deadlock in Europe. They are still unwilling to give up the core piece. Em insists that this is their final bottom line, and everything else can be negotiated."

Huo Shouye has that kind of stern look. When he smiles, he has a feeling of being superficial. When he is not smiling, there are icicles on the corners of his brows and eyes. of?"

Huo Yuanyang nodded, without saying much, "I see, I will continue to follow up."

Huo Shouye raised his eyes, glanced at his nephew who was sitting upright, and there were layers of coldness at the end of his eyes, did he know how to grow up if he lost it?It's a pity that everything just started now. After such a long time, I don't know if the person who just started to understand the sky and the earth is like his father, who understands that there is no room for regret even if he understands some things.

"carry on."

"Yes, Chairman." Huo Yuanyang finished finishing the report, but did not leave in a hurry.

"Anything else?"

Huo Yuanyang took a deep breath, and sat more upright than when he was reporting on business just now, "Uncle, I have something to ask for your help."
