After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal Chapter 126 – 126 What We Should Do

126 What We Should Do

These were all words that Lu Ning had said to that girl back then. Now, she was telling Huo Jinyan the same things.

Along with that hug.

Lu Ning let go of him and smiled at him. “Life can sometimes be very beautiful.”

She had truly experienced this sentiment now, so she was especially confident when she said it.

The beauty in her life came from her family, and she believed that someone as smart as Huo Jinyan would be able to find his.

Lu Ning turned around and left. Huo Jinyan stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain his senses.

…

Chu Ting stuck his head out to see if Huo Jinyan had come out.

On this day, he was really worried about Huo Jinyan.

Today was the death anniversary of Huo Jinyan’s mother.

Chu Ting had heard this story from the Huo family’s butler.

Huo Jinyan was still very young that year, and the raging fire almost swallowed everything.

In the fire, Huo Jinyan’s mother had injured her leg and could not move. So, she told the young Huo Jinyan to run away, but he was unwilling to leave his mother behind. In order to chase him away his mother said something like she hated him. However, Huo Jinyan did not leave. When he was rescued, he fell unconscious and only woke up three days later.

But his mother did not survive the fire.

…

Chu Ting heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Huo Jinyan emerge from the hospital. He quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him to get in.

Huo Jinyan seemed to be in a bad mood, so Chu Ting did not dare to speak.

Chu Ting kept observing Huo Jinyan through the rearview mirror.

After a long while, he said cautiously, “President Huo, are you still thinking about those things she said?”

The butler mentioned that whenever it was this time of the year, Huo Jinyan would always have nightmares. In his dreams, he would always recall the time when he was in that fire.

Huo Jinyan did not say anything, but Chu Ting spoke up again. “President Huo, sometimes you can’t listen to what they say, you have to look at what they do.”

His mother’s ultimate goal was for Huo Jinyan to escape and live.

Huo Jinyan was taken aback for a moment as Chu Ting’s words floated through his mind.

‘Don’t listen to what they say, look at what they do.’

…

Huo Jinyan’s childhood had not been smooth-sailing; rather, it had been very painful. Not only was he always torn about what his mother said, he also wanted to ask her why she did not take him with her. Why did she save him?

Why couldn’t everything have ended at that point? Why did she have to keep him in this world?

‘Life can sometimes be very beautiful.’

Huo Jinyan sat by the bed. In this dark room, he suddenly sneered.

Beautiful?

Sometimes?

If so, when would that be?

His life had never been associated with that word.

The cigarette butt by his hand fell down and scorched the carpet, producing a thin stream of smoke. Then, the carpet caught fire.

Huo Jinyan watched as the flames burned larger and larger, illuminating his face. Under the flickering firelight, his gaze was cold, but there was a thin smile on his lips.

When Chu Ting rushed in, the entire bedroom was ablaze. He coughed and dragged out the absent-minded Huo Jinyan.

“President Huo!”

Chu Ting hurriedly called the fire department.

The fire truck came very quickly. When it arrived, Chu Ting had just pulled Huo Jinyan out of the house.

Looking at the raging fire, Huo Jinyan seemed to wake up for a moment.

A sentence flashed through his mind.

‘Everything will pass, hold on a little longer.’

‘Everything will pass, hold on a little longer.’

The voice of the person who said this seemed to have some kind of calming magic.

Huo Jinyan stood where he was, watching the flames illuminate the surroundings as bright as day.

And he appeared to have seen that child from more than ten years ago gradually emerging from the fire. He was in a sorry state, but his gaze was determined…
