Grandmother walked up to Tian Xingyun, took her hand and said affectionately, "I've had someone prepare food for you. Eat before you go home."
Her gaze was fixed on Xingyun's belly; she couldn't let her dear grandson go hungry.
"No need!" Tian Xingyun refused, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
It seemed Grandmother hadn't convinced Huo Shaohua; both the baby and Huatan were beyond saving.
She couldn't bear to lose the baby, so she could only leave Huatan Village for a while.
After such an incident, she didn't want to burden her parents.
The child she was carrying belonged to the village's sworn enemy; surely the villagers wouldn't tolerate her and the child.
If she stayed, she would only bring suffering to her parents along with her.
She had no choice but to leave.
"Don't worry, I will make Shaohua take responsibility for you." Grandmother noticed Tian Xingyun's concern and patted her hand reassuringly.
"Really?" Tian Xingyun looked up joyfully, asking with uncertainty.
"Really."
"That's great." Tian Xingyun smiled happily—the baby was safe.
Now, she didn't have to leave. Next, she had to figure out how to save the Huatan.
At lunchtime, Grandmother had the kitchen prepare a lot of dishes.
All were to nourish the body. She saw that Tian Xingyun was too thin.
This wasn't good for the baby's development; nutrition had to be increased.
At the long dining table, Grandmother sat in the middle.
Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun sat opposite each other.
Tian Xingyun kept her head down, eating, feeling a chill from the opposite side.
"Eat more." Grandmother kept serving Tian Xingyun food.
"Grandmother, you eat too." Tian Xingyun looked up with a smile, serving Grandmother some food.
Huo Shaohua's eyes were constantly on her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you from Huatan Village?" Grandmother suddenly asked, though she already knew everything about Tian Xingyun.
When she received those photos, she had someone investigate the girl.
The investigation results were good; she was a girl of excellent character.
"Huatan Village?" Huo Shaohua asked.
"Yes, Grandmother, my home is in Huatan Village." Tian Xingyun replied with a faint smile, ignoring Huo Shaohua's words.
"It's a wonderful place."
"But someone wants to destroy our village's flower fields!" Tian Xingyun bit her lips angrily, glaring fiercely at Huo Shaohua.
Two months ago, Huo Group suddenly offered a high price to buy large amounts of land in Huatan Village.
Some greedy villagers sold their land to Huo Family.
Huo Group never said what they were buying the land for, until later when it was revealed.
Huo Group wanted Huatan Village for its Feng Shui to build a resort there.
They wanted to ruin all the flower fields in Huatan Village, only then did those who sold realize!
They all started regretting selling their land and resisted Huo Group, suing them for fraud.
But they were just ordinary villagers; how could they possibly fight Huo Group?
The villagers fighting Huo Group was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
"So that's how it is." Huo Shaohua smirked, putting down his chopsticks and leaning back to look at Tian Xingyun on the opposite side.
It seemed this woman had come to scheme against him for Huatan Village.
Her sacrifice was really significant!
"Remember now?" Tian Xingyun squinted and asked.
"Yeah." Huo Shaohua nodded.
"I've been to Huatan Village, where there are many flower fields and beautiful scenery. How could anyone bear to destroy them?" Grandmother sighed, saying she hadn't been to Huatan Village for a long time either.
There was an old friend there; they hadn't seen each other for ten years or so.
Occasionally, she would still receive flower tea from that old friend.
"Grandmother, you've been to Huatan Village?" Huo Shaohua asked, surprised.
Grandmother had actually been to such a lowly, messy village.
It was really unbelievable.
