Huo Lindong knew how slow Ah Wu was at learning characters. Until now, she still learned some characters with fewer strokes and easier to remember. For her, the word ‘Lin’ was indeed very difficult.
Huo Lindong had very little time to be genuinely happy in his life.
The first good fortune in his life was to have a biological mother who loved him.
The second good fortune in his life was to escape from the quagmire of the Xiao family and meet his kind Uncle and Aunt.
The third luck in his life should be meeting Jiang Wu.
Huo Lindong became greedy unconsciously. He wanted more. Instead of just wanting to turn Ah Wu into his own property at the beginning, now he hoped that Ah Wu could respond to his love as she did now.
Suddenly, he understood what his father-in-law said that day. He wanted to get the complete Jiang Wu, even if it would take him several years, ten years, or even a lifetime.

“Hush, that kid from the Diao family is here.”
“I didn’t expect that, isn’t Scholar Huo an orphan? Now his family actually came to see him. Judging from the clothes, he is not from an ordinary family.”
“Hey, we can’t call him Scholar Huo. I heard that his family’s surname is Xiao, so we should call him Scholar Xiao. But that’s strange. Can such a family not be able to raise a child? How come he was sent to his uncle’s house back then?”
“Who knows, forget it. Stop talking, be careful Scholar Huo hears it.”
“It’s nothing to hear about. Those people are in the Diao family now. We won’t tell him. He can see it himself when he goes back. What kind of evil did the Jiang family do in their last life? The Jiang family appointed his daughter to an ungrateful family before. Now that he had just married his daughter into the Diao family, Huo Lindong’s biological father sent someone to find him. You see, the servants in that family are so impressive, not to mention the master. Can such a family accept a daughter-in-law like Jiang Wu? I think Master Jiang chose the wrong husband for his daughter again this time.”
“No way, now that the marriage is over, can he still divorce his wife?”
“Who knows, don’t wealthy people do many shameless things?”
Huo Lindong’s heart tightened as he listened to the intermittent conversation that reached his ears. He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Jiang Wu’s hand.
“Hurt.”
Jiang Wu complained delicately, pulling Huo Lindong away from some not-so-good memories.
“I’m sorry, Ah Wu, I hurt you.”
Huo Lindong quickly let go of his hand. Jiang Wu’s skin was delicate, so there was a conspicuous red mark on her wrist.
“Actually…it doesn’t hurt…”
Jiang Wu lied, and her cheeks turned red. Children who lie are bad children.
“I’ll put some ointment on you when we get back.”
Huo Lindong had something on his mind, so he put down Jiang Wu’s sleeves and carefully held her hand home.
At this moment, the door outside the Diao’s house was full of people watching the excitement. When those people saw Huo Lindong coming back with Jiang Wu, they consciously moved out of the way.
“Young Master!”
Seeing the magnificent carriage and the familiar clan emblem on the carriage, Huo Lindong’s heart sank. It was indeed that family who came looking for him.
The head steward immediately stepped forward to greet Huo Lindong when he saw him and saluted him obsequiously.
“Young Master, the Old Duke asked this old slave to take the Young Master back to the house.”
Huo Lindong still remembered the man in front of him. He was the second steward of the Xiao Mansion and was highly regarded by his grandfather. Ever since his younger brother was born, the other party had never treated him with such respect.
