The Influencer Wife to Master Lu - C293
“You are extremely similar to my daughter. Although your appearance is not that similar, the feeling you give me is as though my daughter is right beside me.” Old Man Huo’s gaze seemed to be looking at Huo Ke, but it also seemed like she was looking at someone else.
Huo Ke could feel the deep longing in Old Man Huo’s eyes. It was as if he was looking at an unattainable treasure. She wanted to touch it, but she didn’t dare to. Right, it was a feeling of wanting but at the same time being afraid of losing.
Huo Ke suddenly felt a little flustered, as if she had already predicted Master Huo’s next words. She looked forward to it, and her thoughts were even more complicated. Just a few sentences from Master Huo caused Huo Ke to be extremely focused.
“I only have one daughter. Her name is Holly. I still remember that summer when she was in her second year of high school, I also went out fishing and ran into a storm. It just so happens that Riko is having a summer vacation. Originally, we agreed to go to sea together, but Riko’s little sister suddenly came to visit us, so we didn’t go together. ” Perhaps it was because he had been reminiscing about things for too long that he was unable to recall them clearly. He paused for a moment before continuing.
“The storm came very suddenly that day, and it wasn’t as high-tech as it is now, and the weather forecast wasn’t that accurate either. At that time, I didn’t expect anything unexpected to happen when we went out to sea. I only brought Butler Huo along, but I didn’t expect that in the storm, the two of us would almost die on this sea. It was Riko who saved us in time. My obedient daughter was frightened, too, and when she saw her, her thin body was wet from the rain, and her lips were white from the cold. When she saw me, she comforted me and said, “I’m sorry, dad, I came late. It’s a good thing that you’re fine.” That was when my daughter grew up. “He’s always been so sensible.”
As he spoke to here, a line of tears unknowingly flowed down the old man’s muddy eyes. He unconsciously raised his hand to stroke the top of Huo Ke’s head and gently ruffled his weak hair. Daddy’s fine, Pear, don’t worry. ”
Huo Ke also felt a deep sorrow in her heart as she heard this. It was as if the old man had infected him. His nose suddenly became sore, and tears silently fell down his cheeks.
“I’m Huo Ke, not Li Er.”
“Li Er is my daughter, you are the daughter of Li Er. “She’s my biological grandson.”
Huo Ke was shocked when she heard the news. It had always been a mystery to her background. She had also asked Huo Tinghua about it many times, but Huo Tinghua never told him. He must have purposely kept it a secret. But why did he lie to her?
“Child, your mother, do you still have an image?” The old man came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He turned around and quietly wiped away his tears, but he couldn’t wipe them away. His shoulders shook even more, like a lonely old man trying his best to hold something back.
Huo Ke was shocked when she heard the news. It had always been a mystery to her background. She had also asked Huo Tinghua about it many times, but Huo Tinghua never told him. He must have purposely kept it a secret.
“No, I don’t remember.” Hawke shook his head.
“And her name?” Huo Ke didn’t know what was going on, but she seemed to be struggling to remember something.
“Did your mother leave you anything? You always remember that, don’t you? ” Old Man Huo didn’t give up and continued asking.
“No, I don’t remember. I can’t remember anything.” Hawke couldn’t remember.
Seeing that Hawke really did look like he didn’t have an impression of her. Old Man Huo didn’t pursue the matter. However, doubts arose in her heart. She could already tell that Huo Ke was acting abnormal.
Returning to the island, Grandpa Huo was very confused about Huo Ke’s current condition, but she didn’t have much information on Huo Ke. Huo Tinghua kept saying she found Ke Er, but he didn’t get any more information on her.
After the old man got off the boat, he asked Butler Huo to arrange the mother and daughter, and called Lu Yunqi to follow him to the study room. With the current situation, they could only send people to investigate. However, they still had to ask Lu Yunqi if he knew anything more about Huo Ke.
“Your name is Lu Yunqi?” Elder Huo entered the study room and sat down at the desk. He directly asked, not letting Lu Yunqi sit.
“Yes, Old Master, the junior is Lu Yunqi.” Having confirmed that this was Huo Ke’s grandfather, Lu Yunqi was also very respectful in his heart.
“What’s the relationship between you and Ke Er? Why did you follow me to the island?” Although he already knew that this man had ulterior motives towards his granddaughter, he still had to ask.
“To tell you the truth, this junior has a crush on Hawke and is currently pursuing him. However, Hawke has yet to agree, so it doesn’t matter.” However, this junior is sincere towards Huo. Please grant me your wish! ” Lu Yunqi looked at Master Huo with bright eyes.
He was indeed tempted by Huo Ke, regardless of whether Huo Ke was Luo Ke or not. Moreover, Luo Ke was also adopted by her adoptive parents, so her identity wasn’t clear. She had already checked with the hospital and found out that her mother died in childbirth just like Hawke! This made Lu Yunqi feel that Huo Ke might very well be the Luo Ke who went missing back then. Moreover, the side of her face looked very similar to Luo Ke’s. If Luo Ke was really alive during the great fire that happened that year, then it would be hard to avoid an accident from happening. His hands had been burned, too, and Loko had stayed in the concert hall longer. Maybe she had burned his hands, which had changed her appearance.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yunqi was even more sure that his train of thought was reliable.
“Hmph, can you chase after my Huo family’s daughter just because you want to? If you want our Ke Er, you’ll have to rely on my old bones! ” Master Huo disdained Lu Yunqi saying that he wanted Huo Ke. When her daughter was still alive, her daughter was the best in the world. Now that his daughter was gone, his granddaughter would definitely be under his protection. Not everyone could think of that.
“You’re right. I didn’t know about Hawke’s past, but now that I know, I must listen to you.” Lu Yunqi did not refute him.
Old man Huo was quite satisfied with Lu Yunqi’s attitude. She looked at him secretly, but he still looked like a human. She would like to see if she could match up with Huo Ke in the future.
“When we were at sea, Ke Er’s expression was a little strange. How could she not know anything about her mother?” He finally got to the point.
“Hawke told me she had lost her memory. I can’t remember what happened in the past. ” Lu Yunqi answered honestly.
Although he had already sensed that it might be due to Huo Ke’s amnesia, hearing Lu Yunqi talk about it still made his heart hurt. Huo Ke lost her parents at such a young age. She didn’t know what sort of life she had lived for so many years, but she had lost her memories.
