Chapter 16 Tension

The car was parked in front of the hospital, and Huo Qiming was holding the steering wheel as he looked at the photos and documents on the passenger seat. After a long pause, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

The old woman groaned in pain in the room, while Huo Qiming opened the door and saw Grandma Huo tightly shut her eyes.

He took the old woman's hand and said, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"

Grandma Huo pulled her hand back and raised her wrinkled eyelids, her eyes filled with tears of forced endurance.

"They all said that Xiaoyu had passed away. Tell me, is this true?"

Huo Qiming didn't want to hear the word 'death', and he didn't want his old grandma to hear it.

Especially when it came to this word, it was the person they all treasured.

"Grandma, take care of your health first. We'll talk about other things when you're feeling better."

"Tell me now whether Xiaoyu is dead or not. Are they all lying to me? Say it, say it!"

Grandma Guo struggled to grab Huo Qiming's hand, which was about to retract, and her aged hands which held the traces of time were so powerful that Huo Qiming couldn't break free.

The two of them stood in a stalemate until Huo Qiming finally closed his eyes."Yes, she's dead. Liver cancer."

His heart wrenched in pain, and it was too cruel and painful for him to personally admit the news.

Tears rolled down the old man's face. Grandma Huo closed her eyes and hammered her heart with both hands. "My Xiaoyu. I'm old already, but how am I supposed to watch such a young girl die before me? How could such a good child ..."

"Grandma, don't be like this. If you're feeling unwell, then hit me. Don't go against yourself ..."

Huo Qiming grabbed Grandma Huo's hand close to his own face. Grandma Huo struggled to get away from him, unwilling to even touch his side.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I insisted on making up this marriage between you. That's why Xiaoyu hasn't had even a good day during seven years. I'm the one who ruined her life. How could I fix her up with you?! You've betrayed Xiaoyu in your life. No matter who you'll marry then, I won't accept another woman as our Huo Family's granddaughter-in-law anymore! Get out of here! I don't have a grandson like you! I don't want to see you anymore!"

"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I'm a jerk. I'm a big jerk. You can hit me and beat me to death!"

Huo Qiming grabbed onto Grandma Huo's hand to slapped his face. Grandma Huo's heart ached as well, and she slapped him on the chest. "What's the use of beating you to death? Give my Xiaoyu back. Can you bring her back to life? The person is already gone, what can it help to say these now! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

In the end, Huo Qiming was forcefully thrown out of the room, while the old woman was crying uncontrollably in the room. Huo Qiming leaned against the wall, his heart wrenching in pain.

After a while, he finally stood firm and said to his assistant, "Go to Jiang Family and take back Ding Yuqiu's ashes at all costs."

Jiang Family. Huo Qiming's bodyguards surrounded Jiang Family while the two families were facing each other with their swords drawn.

Huo Qiming walked in from the path that the bodyguards had stepped aside and said to Jiang Family, "I didn't mean to disturb you today. I just came to ask your young master for my wife's ashes. I'll leave as soon as I get it."

"Let's not talk about the fact that we don't know where the ashes are. Even if we do, it's not up to an outsider to bury our Jiang Family's daughter-in-law! "

No wonder that Jiang Shengbang was the head of the family and would not give in easily even when being threatened. Moreover, since he had already admitted that Ding Yuqiu was his daughter-in-law, he would not give in to Huo Qiming in order to save his son's face.

"Ding Yuqiu had been with me for seven years and was pregnant with my child. When did she become a member of Jiang Family? Did I agree? Uncle, I advise you to give her ashes back to me. Just take it as if nothing had happened today. If you don't, I don't know what crazy things I would do. I always do things willfully. You know that!"
