Tian Xingyun's heart hardened, and she removed her grandmother's hand: "It's not that I'm heartless and don't want the child, it's that he doesn't want it."
With one sentence, she pushed all the responsibility onto Huo Shaohua. Whether she could win this gamble depended on whether Huo Shaohua cared about his grandmother's words.
"Huo Shaohua, you little bastard, are you trying to anger your grandmother to death!" Grandmother, enraged, raised her hand to hit him.
"Grandma, don't get so emotional." Huo Shaohua's sharp gaze flicked towards Tian Xingyun.
He grabbed his grandmother's hand to stop her from hitting him, not because he was afraid of pain.
He was just worried that his grandmother would get too emotional, which wasn't good for her health and might cause her to faint.
"How can I not be emotional? You don't even want your own flesh and blood!"
"..."
"This child must stay!" Grandmother said to Huo Shaohua.
Tian Xingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as grandmother was willing to keep the child.
Whether Huo Shaohua was willing or not was not her concern, she just wanted to keep both the child and the flower fields.
Grandmother would definitely help, considering the child in her belly.
Huo Shaohua remained silent, his gaze towards Tian Xingyun was icy and filled with hostility.
Grandmother knew Huo Shaohua's thoughts, but she couldn't let the Huo family's child be at risk.
Shaohua finally had a child, he couldn't just abandon it.
Grandmother had someone bring Tian Xingyun some pastries to eat and took Huo Shaohua to the ancestral hall.
Grandmother took out the Huo family ancestral rules, a wooden stick one meter long.
"Kneel down!" She shouted sternly at Huo Shaohua.
Huo Shaohua knelt on the mat, his gaze fixed on the tablets of the Huo family ancestors arrayed in front of him.
Seeing these, his heart was incomparably heavy, he knew the responsibilities of being a Huo family descendant.
As a Huo family descendant, not only must you run the company well, but also have an heir.
But in his generation, there still wasn't a child.
It wasn't that he didn't like children, but his beloved girlfriend didn't want children.
He loved his girlfriend and didn't want to pressure her, but he had been constantly pressured by his family.
"What is your surname?" Grandmother asked, holding the ancestral rules accusingly.
"Huo." He responded in a deep voice.
"What are the responsibilities of a Huo family descendant? How were you taught from a young age!" Grandmother lifted the ancestral rules and angrily struck his back.
Beating her grandson pained her, but she couldn't spoil him.
He had been spoiled for too many years, causing him to forget the responsibilities of a Huo family descendant.
And now he even wanted to abandon his own child, it was outrageous!
"Manage the family business, inherit the ancestral skills, and provide the family with a next-generation heir."
"What have you done?" Grandmother struck his back again harshly.
"Grandma, I know I was wrong!" Huo Shaohua bowed his head and apologized guiltily.
He indeed wasn't a qualified Huo family descendant, but he didn't want to be one at all.
It was too exhausting, too many constraints.
"Let me tell you, the child in Tian Xingyun's belly must be kept, that's the Huo family's child, your child!"
"..."
"You have no right to oppose."
"I understand." Huo Shaohua did not resist.
"Kneel in the ancestral hall for half an hour before coming out." Grandmother sighed lightly and walked out of the ancestral hall with the ancestral rules.
Tian Xingyun was restless in the living room, but the sight of the pastries made her want to eat.
In the end, she couldn't resist and picked up the pastries to eat, consuming two or three in one go.
"Hungry?" Grandmother came out, saw Tian Xingyun, and smiled happily.
Regardless of whether Shaohua was willing or not, the child must stay.
Tian Xingyun stood up and wiped her mouth, biting her lip in embarrassment: "A little hungry."
Her nervous hands clenched tightly behind her back, unsure of the outcome.
Could grandmother suppress Huo Shaohua and keep the child?
