Chapter 175 I Have Someone I Like
"Recently, the Song family of the Song Group announced that they would form an alliance with the Qian family. It is said that the eldest son of the Song family, Song Zekai, and Miss Qian are about to get married, and the wedding date is set for the 20th of next month..."
Luming Manor
Mrs. Huo was watching short videos on her mobile phone when she suddenly came across this entertainment news.
When Huo Ruilin heard the news, she paused while peeling an apple and felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
She tried to remain calm, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her emotions.
Her finger suddenly touched the sharp fruit knife, cutting it and blood oozing out, but she was completely unaware.
Old Master Huo, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Huo Ruilin who had cut her hand at a glance, and his eyes were full of heartache.
He quickly grabbed Huo Ruilin's hand and said nervously, "Linlin, I told you not to peel apples for me, but look at you, you cut your hand."
Mrs. Huo also stood up quickly and asked with concern: "Linlin, how did you get hurt? Does it hurt?"
Afterwards, Mrs. Huo quickly asked Butler Hu to bring the Band-Aid.
Huo Ruilin seemed not to feel the pain in her hand, and just stared blankly at the half-peeled apple.
"Linlin, why are you so careless?" Mr. Huo blew on her hand, "Does it hurt?"
"Grandpa, Mom, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious." Huo Ruilin came back to her senses and looked at Grandpa Huo blowing on her wound and Mrs. Huo anxiously asking Uncle Hu to get a Band-Aid. Her heart was suddenly filled with warmth.
Butler Hu quickly brought a Band-Aid and Mrs. Huo carefully put it on Huo Ruilin.
"Rui Lin, why have you been so absent-minded lately? Are you hiding something from us?"
Mrs. Huo had long noticed that something was wrong with Huo Ruilin. Since she came back that night, she was always distracted, looked unhappy, and didn't like to smile anymore.
She secretly wondered, her daughter was so excited because she just heard that the boy from the Song family was engaged, could it be related to him?
Huo Ruilin lowered her eyes slightly, her voice a little hoarse: "Mom, I'm fine, I just... feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Mr. Huo felt even more distressed. "Linlin, tell grandpa quickly, who bullied you? Was it the kid from the Song family?"
As soon as these words came out, a hint of surprise flashed in Huo Ruilin's eyes, "Grandpa, how did you know?"
Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo looked at each other.
Mrs. Huo said, "In fact, Mom has already seen that you like Song Zekai."
"Yes, my dear granddaughter, your mother and I have watched you grow up. What are you thinking? How could your grandfather not know?"
Hearing this, Huo Ruilin couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and she immediately threw herself into Mr. Huo's arms.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I made you worry about me."
Old Master Huo patted Huo Ruilin's back gently and consoled her, "Silly child, why are you saying sorry? If you have any grievances, just tell Grandpa and I will take care of it for you."
Mrs. Huo also said, "Yes, Linlin. If that kid from the Song family bullies you, our Huo family will never let it go."
Huo Ruilin raised her head from Mr. Huo's arms, wiped her tears and said, "Grandpa, Mom, don't worry. Song Zekai didn't bully me. I have always been in love with him. He doesn't like me. Now he wants to marry someone else. I will let him go."
Old Master Huo looked at Huo Ruilin with heartache, sighed and said, "Linlin, why bother being sad for someone who is not worthy? Since the Song family kid wants to marry someone else, let him go. Are you afraid that the daughter of our Huo family can't find a good family?"
Mrs. Huo gently hugged Huo Ruilin and said softly, "My dear daughter, don't think about it. The Song family is blind and we don't want you. When you get better, mom will introduce you to better young talents."
Huo Ruilin forced a smile: "Mom, I'm really fine. I just need a little time."
However, despite saying this, Huo Ruilin's heart was still filled with pain and reluctance.
She didn't know if she could really let go of Song Zekai, nor did she know what to do in the future.
Song family villa.
When Song Zekai learned that his parents had announced the news of his marriage to Qian Manrou to the public and had secretly set a date for the wedding behind his back, he was immediately furious and went back to his parents to ask for clarification.
"Dad, Mom, why didn't you discuss this with me before you announced it on your own? Do you know how much of an impact this will have on the Song and Qian families?"
The most important thing is that Song Zekai doesn’t like Qian Manrou at all and is unwilling to marry her.
Father Song snorted coldly, "You and Manrou are already a real couple, what impact does it have? Besides, this decision was made by us and your uncle Qian together. The 20th of next month is a good day for marriage, and I think it's time for our two families to prepare for the wedding."
"I don't agree!" Song Zekai immediately protested: "Now that you have discussed it, you don't need me anymore, right?"
Mrs. Song sighed, "Son, we are doing this for your own good. When the time comes, just be a good groom and leave the rest to us."
Song Zekai frowned, his eyes full of determination: "I will not marry Qian Manrou, I already have someone I like in my heart."
When Song's father heard this, he immediately became angry: "Do you have someone you like? Who is it? No matter who it is, it can't compare to the power of the Qian family. You must agree to this marriage."
Song Zekai did not back down: "I don't care about power or not, I just know that I don't love Qian Manrou and I can't marry her."
Mrs. Song quickly advised: "Zekai, don't be so impulsive. The Qian family is very important to our Song family. You can't ruin the relationship between the two families because of a momentary emotion."
Song Zekai said coldly: "Then you don't care about my feelings? I have lost a lot because of your arrangement. I won't compromise this time."
After saying that, Song Zekai turned around and left. Song's father roared behind him: "If you dare not marry Qian Manrou, don't recognize me as your father."
Song Zekai left the Song family villa without looking back.
Song Zekai returned to the car. He was very confused at the moment, but he couldn't help but think of Huo Ruilin.
He hadn't seen her for several days, and she really wanted to rush to her and tell her that Qian Manrou was not his fiancée.
But he also clearly realized that he was not worthy of Huo Ruilin. What qualifications did he have to appear in front of her?
He still hasn't figured out who the girl was that night.
But he had a hunch that the person was Huo Ruilin.
But he didn't dare to go look for him, he knew that Huo Ruilin would not see him.
Song Zekai drove away and involuntarily drove the car to the familiar restaurant.
He remembered that he had invited her to dinner here on the day of the company's annual meeting.
It was also at this time that his feelings towards Huo Ruilin changed.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appear at the door of the restaurant.
"Linlin, why are we eating at this restaurant?"
