"You, you..."
Lu Zheng was scared pale, with horror in her eyes, and sat down on the sofa.
"Big brother, you...what are you talking about?"
Huo i Shu was shocked and full of doubts.
Huo Shao Ting's eyes were icy cold. He had kept this matter deep in his heart for many years.
Because of his father's dying wish, he had never told anyone about it, including his wife Rong Dai.
"This matter, dad entrusted with it before he died."
His tone beca solemn.
Lu Zheng looked panic-stricken, desperately wanting to stop him from continuing.
"Big brother, I just heard that...mom? Why are you here?"
Huo Shao Jie rushed over looking travel-worn, and was stunned seeing everyone in the room, looking at Huo i Shu puzzledly.
"I was going to keep this bottled up, but today you forced with death to get a divorce."
"You didn't give any way out, forcing to be an unfilial son who killed his mother. Mrs. Lu, I think you understand this matter better than anyone."
"Shao Jie and i Shu are young and unclear about what happened back then, but I am clear."
Huo Shao Ting changed how he addressed her, coldly not even calling her mom anymore.
After so many years he was unable to feel close to this mother of his.
Not only because he had long been used to being alone, but more importantly because of how his dad died.
He couldn't find it in himself to forgive.
After so many years he had always been outstanding, fulfilling everything he promised his dad, only unable to do this one thing.
"Today, I think they also have the right to know the truth."
He continued to add, his words not as sharp as before, but still cold enough to chill one's heart.
"You...you know what, don't say it! You can't say!"
Lu Zheng suddenly seed to recall sothing important, desperately trying to stop Huo Shao Ting in a panic.
But her legs were soft, she was flustered, unable to stand up.
"You were able to force to divorce, why can't I speak?"
Huo Shao Ting gave a cold mocking laugh, looking at her with frigid eyes.
"The day before dad's accident, who did you go see, what did you do, have you forgotten?"
He asked Lu Zheng.
"I can help tell the story."
"No! Shao Ting, it was mom's mistake, I shouldn't have forced you. Please don't say it...Shao Jie and i Shu will hate if you do."
Lu Zheng pleadingly begged him, tears instantly rolling down her cheeks.
Rong Dai didn't expect things to unfold this way. Her heart was filled with curiosity but also turmoil.
She pulled on Huo Shao Ting's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Shao Ting, mom is ntally unstable right now. We can talk about this afterwards."
Huo Shao Ting shook his head and looked at her. Seeing the slap mark on her cheek, his voice took an exceptionally stern tone.
"When outsiders previously hurt you, I had no control over their actions so I let it go."
"But this person today is my birth mother. I can't even protect you - what kind of decent husband am I?"
"Also, I'm doing this not just because of you, but because of this family."
"Big brother, what are you talking about?"
Huo Shao Jie was bewildered, having no clue what had happened.
Rong Dai felt complicated, but seeing Huo Shao Ting's manner she also knew she wouldn't be able to stop him.
This matter was related to Grandpa's cause of death.
And Grandpa had always been like a mountain range sheltering over Huo Shao Ting. Grandpa held trendous weight in his heart.
The intelligent Lu Nianzhi basically understood what had happened based on the context and her knowledge of events before and after, the mont Huo Shao Ting spoke.
She feared Big Uncle's car accident that day was no accident at all, and that Auntie was involved too.
This really would bring the heavens crashing down!
