Chapter 177: Chapter 0177: But I Have My Difficulties
Huo Tingxiao remained unmoved, while Pei Zhao’s wheelchair stopped just centimeters away from him, barely missing a collision.
Fortunately, the elevator was spacious enough to accommodate Pei Zhao’s two bodyguards as they followed him inside, and the elevator doors slowly closed.
Pei Zhao smiled, controlling his wheelchair to roll back a step.
“I thought you were here to see me. I got all excited for nothing.
Oh, right, I know a good psychologist. His hypnotherapy is quite effective. If you need, I can introduce him to Mu Lan.
She’s suffered memory loss, hasn’t she? It must be inconvenient in her daily life, right?”
Huo Tingxiao’s jawline was taut, his eyes held a chilling coldness, and he spoke at an even pace.
“There’s nothing inconvenient, Mu Lan herself doesn’t care.”
Pei Zhao’s gaze darkened.
“Oh? Is it that she doesn’t care, or you won’t let her care? But no matter, there’s plenty of time ahead. Sooner or later, she will remember everything.”
Huo Tingxiao’s cool eyes fixed on Pei Zhao.
“Even if she remembers, it won’t change anything.”
Pei Zhao raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
“That confident?”
“Of course.”
Huo Tingxiao’s tone was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
The elevator dinged as it reached the ground floor, and Pei Zhao’s wheelchair exited first.
Turning to the side, he looked at Huo Tingxiao as he walked out.
“Huo Tingxiao, I’ve said before that we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
Oh, your brother’s engagement banquet is coming up soon. I’ll see you then.”
Pei Zhao left with a cheerful smile, but Huo Tingxiao’s face turned frighteningly dark.
Huo Tingyang and Sheng Xueqin had actually sent Pei Zhao an invitation!
Just as he got into his car in the parking lot, Huo Tingxiao’s phone rang, pulling his thoughts back—it was the old master of the Huo Family.
“Tingxiao, Grandpa has something…”
“You want me to attend Huo Tingyang’s engagement banquet?”
There was a pause from the old master on the other end of the line.
“Do it for my sake. After all, it’s a marriage alliance with the Sheng Family. We can’t afford a too ugly scene, letting outsiders ridicule the Huo Family.”
As expected, for the old master, his only concern was the Huo Family.
“The Huo Family has long become a joke in the eyes of outsiders.”
Huo Tingxiao spoke calmly, without a trace of emotion. If there had been any respect for the old master before, it had dissipated after his repeated priorities to preserve the Huo Family.
“Tingxiao, did your mother say something to you? The issue between her and your father, they will settle it themselves. You are the heir of the Huo Family; you can’t afford to be confused.”
The old master spoke sternly, accustomed to a strategy of carrot and stick. Huo Tingxiao was all too familiar with this approach and took it in stride.
“She didn’t say anything. You’re overthinking it. Whatever I do, it’s my own decision.
Rest assured, I will attend. But as for what will happen there, I can’t guarantee anything.”
“Tingxiao, you…”
Before the old master could say anything more, Huo Tingxiao had already hung up the phone.
“To Half-Mountain Villa.”
He Yan was startled; this was the first time Huo Tingxiao had taken the initiative to return there since setting up his own residence.
The Rolls-Royce swiftly left the parking lot, heading straight for Half-Mountain Villa. As expected, at that moment, Han Yongmei was home alone.
Seeing Huo Tingxiao, Han Yongmei was somewhat surprised.
“Tingxiao, why are you…”
Halfway through her sentence, Han Yongmei felt that her words seemed somewhat inappropriate, as if she didn’t want him to come.
“Are you here for dinner? I’ll have the kitchen start preparing now.”
“No need, I’ll leave after we talk.”
Han Yongmei couldn’t hide the desolation in her eyes, the distance between her and her son was still there. If only she had known, she should have insisted on raising him by her side instead of sending him to the old man’s care, then today’s situation might not have occurred.
“I hope you can attend Huo Tingyang’s engagement party.”
Huo Tingxiao got straight to the point about the purpose of his visit.

Han Yongmei was stunned, apparently not expecting him to personally come just to talk about this.
“Tingxiao, are you also making things difficult for me now?”
Her voice was rough, clearly under a lot of pressure from the old Huo patriarch.
“The Huo Family recognizing Huo Tingyang is the greatest disrespect and insult to me. I’ve already contacted a lawyer to settle the assets between your father and me, and I’m preparing for a divorce.”
Hearing Han Yongmei’s words, Huo Tingxiao wasn’t surprised at all.
“I’m not trying to stop you from getting a divorce.”
Han Yongmei was confused.
“Then why do you want me to attend Huo Tingyang’s engagement party?”
“I have my own plans.”
Huo Tingxiao had no intention of being deliberately mysterious; it’s just that some things lose their sense of surprise when revealed too early.
Originally, he didn’t want to be so ruthless, but since Huo Tingyang and Sheng Xueqin had gotten involved with Pei Zhao, he couldn’t be blamed for what was to come.
“Tingxiao, I…”
Han Yongmei was conflicted. She knew what Tingxiao was like; he wouldn’t have come today without being completely certain of his position.
But now that things had come to this, did he still have the power to oust Huo Tingyang from the Huo Family?
If Sheng Xueqin married Tingyang, even with a prenuptial agreement, as long as he could rely on the support of the Sheng Family, he would rise to power with their help. By then… what changes would occur within the Huo Family were beyond her imagination. Those directors, ruthless and solely motivated by profit, would only see who could bring greater benefits.
“You have a week to think about it. My purpose here was simply to demonstrate my sincerity.”
As Han Yongmei looked at Huo Tingxiao, her heart ached.
“Tingxiao, are you still holding a grudge against me for leaving you at the old mansion back then?”
Huo Tingxiao didn’t expect her to bring up the past so suddenly. He frowned briefly but soon returned to his usual composure, as if no emotion had appeared at all.
“No, you are overthinking it.”
Han Yongmei lowered her gaze, her voice trembling.
“I have always regretted not fighting to keep you by my side. You were smart and lovely as a child and very attached to me. Now… Tingxiao, I had my difficulties, I was compelled to make that decision back then…”
Huo Tingxiao didn’t want to listen anymore and mildly interrupted Han Yongmei.
“Mom, I’ve long forgotten about the past, and you shouldn’t dwell on it either.”
How could she not dwell on it when he had grown so distant from her?
“Tingxiao, no matter what happens between your dad and me, all my assets will be transferred to your name.
I know that even if I do this, I can’t make up for anything. I just want to do what a mother should do. Tingxiao, I hope you can forgive your mother,
Forgive the mistake I made back then.”
Huo Tingxiao looked at Han Yongmei, her eyes brimming with tears. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t moved at all, but some things he had truly let go of.
He never wanted to dwell too much on the past because that would be a waste of time.
“I won’t want a single cent of your assets, they are your dowry and rightfully should be kept by you. However…”
