Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

Chapter 118 Jiang Family

Upon returning to his residence, Huo Wang collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

After taking off my shoes and socks, I saw a large, purplish-black patch of abrasions mixed with the dislocated bone, and it was severely swollen. It was more than a size larger than my other, healthy foot.

It looks particularly scary.

Huo Wang gently rubbed it for a while, then hopped on one foot to get ice to apply.

Time was a bit tight, so I stuffed the ice pack into my socks and then put the socks back on. I washed my hands carefully and started making soup.

Children's food needs to be more refined, which also takes more time.

These past few days have been the busiest time for things. While Jiang Zhuhua was in the operating room, Huo Wang handled a lot of trouble for her, and naturally, he was also informed of the subsequent results.

"Okay, officer. Could you please send me a copy of the vehicle's inspection report?"

"Okay, I'll pick up the food safety test report a little later. Thank you."

"It's like this, Jiang Zhuhua isn't feeling well right now, so I've arranged for people to watch over her... The Jiang family? Nobody's house is allowed. My girlfriend didn't tell me you could visit her. Don't you know what you've done?"

The phone kept ringing, almost as soon as one call ended, another would come in. Huo Wang tried hard to control his anger, refraining from speaking ill of things he didn't know, and speaking up for those he did know.

With such a big incident, all sorts of people, both good and bad, have been calling. Some are genuinely concerned, while others have unclear motives.

After cooking the meal, I put it in an insulated container, ate a bite myself, and threw the ice pack into the trash can.

A group of people were blocking the entrance to the hospital ward. There were members of the Jiang family, hospital security guards, assistants carrying gift boxes, and, of course, bodyguards specially hired by Huo Wang through trusted individuals.

“If you really care about her, you shouldn’t have chosen this time to visit her.”

Huo Wang straightened his clothes and approached the group unhurriedly. He suppressed all his outward, chaotic emotions, and although he wore a relatively gentle smile, his entire aura became sharp.

It's like a sword that's been thrown into a pile of junk; once you pull it out, you find it's still very sharp.

"You're her boyfriend? Who gave you the right to speak here?"

Jiang Xingjia scrutinized Huo Wang from head to toe. Although the clothes were custom-made, they were not made of top-quality materials, and there were no brand-name items on him.

Her hair was a bit messy, and she didn't look very presentable.

Most importantly, I heard they opened a repair shop. The work is dirty and doesn't pay very well.

“This…old uncle, in every sense, my relationship with her is much closer than yours.”

Huo Wang looked at the group of people with a fake smile. One of the young men caught his attention. The young man had dyed his hair red and looked nonchalant. He stood there with resentment in his eyes.

Even if they come to visit someone, it's not voluntary.

"The patient needs rest, so you should go back. After all, it's not your turn to take care of him."

After saying this, Huo Wang gave his bodyguard a wink and then slipped into the ward.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose a place with relatively good soundproofing. That way, I could block out most of the noise.

There was still some noise outside, but Huo Wang wasn't interested in listening. He simply placed the things on the small table.

"Have a meal."

The two insulated containers are different. Jiang Zhuhua's diet is lighter, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. Jiang Ji's food tends to be more flavorful, though not overly so.

Jiang Zhuhua awkwardly accepted the insulated box and opened it. He scooped out a spoonful of soup, tasted it, and looked at Huo Wang in disbelief.

Even if I'm not in a good mental state right now, you can't not give me even a grain of salt, can you?

The soup was quite bland. The yam and pork rib soup was milky white in color, but it didn't have much flavor. It only had the aroma of the meat itself and the taste of the yam.

The meat was very fresh and well-prepared, with no unpleasant smells or fishy odors. It was fresh even without salt.

But I always feel like something's missing.

"Ok?"

Huo Wang raised his head in confusion. Jiang Ji also took a bite, then silently handed over his own bowl.

Huo Wang picked it up and took a bite; the taste was indeed not quite right.

"I forgot, let's eat the vegetables first. And the rice too. I'll go buy some salt."

There were so many things to do, I was constantly busy. I also had to find time to jot down some key information. Huo Wang couldn't remember if he had added salt, but the taste was definitely off.

I don't know what I was thinking when I was eating, and I didn't taste anything at all.

"No need. Just eat what you need. It's not bad either."

Jiang Zhuhua felt embarrassed to trouble others, so he simply shook his head and continued eating.

The other flavors were fairly normal.

The people outside were still making a fuss, so Huo Wang had no choice but to go out and take a look.

"She's my daughter, can't I even come see her? Let her out! How can you treat your own parents like this?"

Jiang Xingjia frowned, his face cold, maintaining the demeanor of someone in a superior position.

The sound entered as soon as the door opened.

Huo Wang glanced back at Jiang Zhuhua to make sure she had no other intentions.

This family's arrival really came at the worst possible time. Huo Wang hadn't even introduced them to Jiang Zhuhua yet.

The door was closed again.

Huo Wang's expression grew even colder: "Since you are all respectable people, let's not do anything that would make each other lose face."

I don't know what these people are here for, but nine times out of ten, it's not for anything good.

"Unseemly? Do you think you're so seemly? You turn away your own daughter and her own parents, and won't even let her see you when she's sick?"

Shen Zhaochun rolled her eyes, then pointed with her blood-red fingernails.

"Sweetie, Mommy was worried about you. Can I go in and check on you? I'll be relieved to know you're okay."

When facing the ward door, Shen Zhaochun changed her tone again, sounding exceptionally gentle.

"come in."

When Huo Wangche arrived at the ward, he could faintly hear some conversations, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhuhua to open the door because of them.

He probably knew that Jiang Zhuhua's childhood was not very good, and he tried his best to give Jiang Ji a near-perfect childhood.

but…….

Knowing full well that the people in front of him would say hurtful things to Jiang Zhuhua, Huo Wang had no choice but to open the door out of respect and to ensure a smooth conversation between the two.

He only hoped these people would reveal their true colors as soon as possible, ending this harm quickly and at the lowest possible cost. He didn't want them to develop feelings only to be stabbed in the back later.

The conversation lasted only about ten minutes. Huo Wang stayed by his side the whole time.

"Get out!"

Jiang Zhuhua nearly roared as he uttered those words, then lost his composure and threw the thermos flask he was holding. Soup and liquid spilled all over the floor.
