Michelle Yim looked at Huo Mingqi, who also looked at her.

It's funny to say, they are an old couple who have been married for decades, but it is rare for them to look at each other as seriously as they do now.

After a while, Michelle Yim said, "What does it have to do with Wen Li? I don't like the two sisters of the An family for a long time, but you have never cared about my feelings. For so many years, in your eyes, apart from your money, the only person you care about is your Zhang Li. Even your son has to rank behind Zhang Li."

Her eyes were calm, and even when she was accusing him, she didn't show any reluctance. It was the kind of calmness that comes from someone who has completely given up on someone.

Huo Mingqi subconsciously said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If I didn't care about my son, would I have kept dragging my feet and not giving Lili a legitimate status?"

Michelle Yim said calmly, "Why don't you give Zhang Li a legitimate status? Is it just because of your son? Isn't it because you can't bear to part with the small share that my parents-in-law gave me when I got married?"

When the marriage was arranged, in order to show their sincerity, Huo Yuanchen's grandparents gave part of their shares to Michelle Yim. This was also meant to warn Huo Mingqi, fearing that he would do something reckless outside.

When a large family is transferring power, they are always extremely careful and will not allow any disturbance to disrupt the apparent harmony.

Huo Mingqi frowned and tried to pull Qi Meizhen's hand. "This is a hospital. It's not appropriate for you to make a scene here. If you have any complaints, go home and tell them."

Michelle Yim dodged.

Huo Mingqi frowned even more and said, "I know you have real estate under your name. You haven't been home recently and have been living in your house outside. But your son is coming back for dinner today. You don't want your son to worry about you, so come back with me today and have a reunion dinner together in the evening. If there is any misunderstanding, let's talk it out face to face as a family of three."

Michelle Yim was quite surprised that Huo Yuanchen would take the initiative to go home. She was stunned for a moment, but out of concern for her son, she agreed.

But she didn't want to stay with Huo Mingqi the whole day, so she left first, saying that she had something to do at the cake shop.

Before leaving, he looked at An Wen with an unfriendly look.

An Wen naturally cried again and said to Huo Mingqi, "Aunt has misunderstood me too deeply. I am not the kind of person she said I was. I have always been grateful to the Huo family, to Uncle Huo, and to Brother Yuanchen."

Huo Mingqi came to visit An Ran for her sake, and originally hadn't planned to stay long. But after Qi Meizhen's fuss, he became even more annoyed.

He stood up and said, "You should recover first. Yuanchen is currently evaluating his professional title, so it's not convenient for him to take leave all the time to come and see you. If you need anything, please ask the nurse. If that doesn't work, please ask my assistant."

An Wen asked him timidly, "Uncle Huo, are you and Brother Yuanchen angry with me?"

Huo Mingqi didn't answer her question and just walked away.

He was quite absent-minded at work all day and returned to the Huo family villa early in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuanchen came back earlier than him and was in the kitchen, watching the chef at home cooking sea cucumber porridge.

Huo Mingqi frowned unhappily and said, "I don't remember the goal I set for you. It was to be a chef obsessed with cooking."

When Huo Yuanchen saw him, he first called out respectfully, "Dad."

Then he said, "I just came back to ask the chef to make porridge. I have to leave soon, so I won't disturb you for too long."

Huo Mingqi was even more displeased. "You came back just to make a bowl of porridge? When did you care so much about food?"

He paused, thought of something, and said in a very cold tone, "Did you make this porridge for someone else?"

Huo Yuanchen did not deny it and said calmly, "Wen Li is sick. The porridge outside is not nutritious. This porridge is for her."

Huo Mingqi looked at him, anger evident on his face, but he did not say anything to accuse him.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Don't leave yet. When your mother comes back later, we can have dinner together."

Huo Yuanchen thought for a moment and said, "I'll take the porridge to Wen Li first, and then come back to have dinner with you."

Huo Mingqi sneered and said, "Even if you want to date her, there is no need to lick her like this. Of course, if you want to learn from Meng Jinnian, it's up to you."

Huo Yuanchen stood there for a while, placed an order on his mobile phone, and asked a runner to deliver porridge to Wen Li.

Huo Mingqi's expression lightened up a bit. "You are right to do this. There is no future for you and Wen Li, so why praise her so highly now? When you dump her in the future, she will be even more disappointed. It is better to give her the cold shoulder now. I asked you to do this for her own good."

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything, but he looked at his phone quite frequently.

Huo Mingqi sighed and said, "Your mother has been getting more and more outrageous recently. She is out every day running her cake shop and doesn't care about our family at all. She has such a small shop, what is there to be busy about? I manage such a big Huo's, and I still remember to go home every day."

Huo Yuanchen reminded him calmly, "When my mother was at home every day, you were often on business trips, and sometimes you didn't come home for a month or two."

Huo Mingqi said, "I did it for work."

Huo Yuanchen nodded in agreement, "You are indeed very busy."

Maggie Cheung came back half an hour later.

Huo Mingqi was very happy. After going out to make a phone call, he asked the servants to prepare dinner.

The family of three sat together, but actually didn't say much. Huo Yuanchen asked Michelle Yim about the cake shop, and she answered all his questions. She also asked about her son's school.

As for Huo Mingqi, he didn't say much, and even if he asked a question occasionally, Michelle Yim would simply ignore him.

After dinner was set up and they sat down in the restaurant, Huo Yuanchen asked Qi Meizhen, "My dad told me that you went to the hospital to see An Wen today?"

Michelle Yim glanced at her son and said, "It wasn't Wen Li who told me anything. I just remembered to go on my own. If you quarrel with Wen Li again because of An Wen, you can just pretend that I'm not your mother. Anyway, I'm going to divorce your father, so you can just follow him when the time comes."

Huo Yuanchen answered her speechlessly, "I'm an adult a long time ago. Your divorce from Dad won't have any impact on me. I'll still live in my apartment."

Before Michelle Yim could say anything, several reporters came into the restaurant, carrying radio and camera equipment, and pointed their cameras at the family of three sitting at the table.

Huo Mingqi stood up at this time, looked at Qi Meizhen affectionately, and took out a dark blue velvet box.

"Wife, I saw this necklace when I was on a business trip last week, and I thought it was perfect for you."

Qi Meizhen was stunned for a moment, frowning and about to speak, Huo Yuanchen pulled her aside and whispered, "Maybe the news that you and dad are getting a divorce has spread outside, and Huo's stock price has fluctuated recently. In addition, Huo's is discussing a big project recently."

Michelle Yim opened her eyes wide and looked at her son.

Huo Yuanchen nodded at her.

Michelle Yim stared at the glittering diamond necklace in front of her without blinking, her face looking so ugly that water could drip out of it.
