Chapter 1070: Might as Well Sever Her Hopes Completely
The reason why the Huo Family wanted to matchmake Huo Gaodi and Yan Fang naturally had their own purposes.
It was really because Duan Zhuangyu’s constant little maneuvers were driving them crazy, and it would be better to completely cut off her hopes.
Moreover, the reality of the situation was plain to see. Huo Gaodi had to take care of the child and work. It was manageable in the short term, but over time, there would inevitably be times he couldn’t handle everything.
Of course, they just wanted to create an opportunity for them. As for whether it worked out, that would depend on whether these two had any fate together.
No matter how slow Huo Gaodi was, he realized what was happening after he dropped someone off and returned. However, he just shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously.
He didn’t believe that Yan Fang hadn’t remarried because of him, after all, it had been more than ten years.
Moreover, he had just divorced, and for now, had no mood to consider remarriage.
Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning Yan Fang; some things should only be hinted at and not overdone.
Auntie Zhang came out of the kitchen at this time: “I’ve made some pear soup with rock sugar, would you like a bowl?”
Gao Ruyi stood up with a smile: “Auntie Zhang, you’re always so attentive.”
Before Yunyi could say a word, Huo Jingrui got up and went into the kitchen, soon bringing out a bowl for Yunyi: “Be careful, it’s hot.”
Yunyi didn’t take the bowl: “Let mom have it first.”
Before Huo Jingrui could respond, Jiang Jingya laughed and said: “You go ahead and drink it; I’ll get it myself.”
She wasn’t the kind of overbearing mother-in-law. Just as she was about to get up, Huo Shanhe stood up: “I’ll bring you a bowl.”
In front of the younger generation, he felt embarrassed to be too showy.
But before he took a step, Gao Ruyi brought out a tray: “Dad, Auntie Jiang, I brought you some.”
Jiang Jingya looked at Huo Shanhe amusedly: The old man didn’t get a chance to act out.
Seeing her mother-in-law’s expression, Gao Ruyi glanced over at her father-in-law, suddenly feeling she might have been too forward.
Jiang Jingya, being the most understanding, smiled and changed the subject: “What do you all want to eat tonight? Let’s prepare in advance.”
At this time, Xiaoxi from the second wife came running over: “Grandma, I want to eat hot pot.”
Xiaoyu from the third wife heard and came over too: “I want hot pot too.”
Jiang Jingya pinched the little cheeks of the two children: “Alright, then we’ll have hot pot tonight.”
The children all cheered in unison.
Yunyi watched the joyful scene inside the house, plunging into her memories for a moment.
Huo Jingrui, noticing her demeanor, didn’t disturb her but gently sat beside her, holding her hand quietly to accompany her.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, Jiang Jingya, not knowing what came to her mind, went upstairs.
When she came back down, she had a camera in her hand and she captured the moment: She never expected that her usually cold son had become much warmer after marriage.
When Auntie Zhang started preparing the hot pot base, the men of the house prepared to enter the kitchen to help.
Seeing Yunyi dozing off, Huo Jingrui packed her up and sent her back to the upstairs room.
After settling her, he leaned closer to Yunyi: “You rest for a while, I’ll go down to help. I’ll come get you when dinner’s ready.”

A small courtyard in Beijing
Only the main room was lit, with no festive atmosphere at all: “Have the matters been discussed?”
“Almost done, just need to finalize the details.”
“Don’t you think it’s too risky?”
“Their identity has already aroused suspicion, and many things can’t be delayed further. Since it can’t continue, it might be better to make a big move before it’s completely exposed.”
“Even so, we need to have a detailed plan, we can’t act recklessly.”
“Understood.”
