Can't Let Go novel Chapter 70

  Three days later.

  In Huo’s house-

  She should be in hospital for a week.

  But she doesn’t like hospital,

  So after in hospital for two days, she asked to come back.

  Huo had no choice but agreed.

  But the doctor came to see her everyday recently.

  Today, the doctor came here a little earlier. After they finished the treatment, it’s just the time for meal.

  Linda Yun got out of bed.

  Yesterday, her whole day’s food was delivered by Mrs Zhang.

  But she didn’t like this feeling of being served which would make her feel like a loser.

  She went downstairs in a thick coat.

  In the dining room, David Huo, Qu Zhirong and Mary Yun were having lunch on the table.

  Mary Yun’s giggles came out from time to time.

  Today was Friday. Jennifer Huo was still at school. She would come back in the afternoon.

  And... Michael Huo, she wouldn’t care.

  "Miss Yun, how did you get down?" A maid came to her in a hurry.

  Her voice let those people who was eating look back.

  "No, thanks." Linda Yun nodded to her to show her gratitude.

  Then, she went to the dining room.

  Qu Zhirong and Mary Yun were frozen.

  "Nian, you are coming. Sit here, sit here." David Huo seemed more hospitable.

  Linda Yun came to him with a smile. The servant immediately pulled out the chair. Then, she sat.

  "Mrs. Zhang, prepare one more cutlery!" said Huo.He looked at Linda Yun, "are you feeling better?"

  Linda Yun was ready to answer it, but at that moment the busy Mrs. Zhang brought the cutlery to them.

  She was surprised to see Linda Yun, "Miss Yun, how... how did you get down? I... I was cooking for you and I’ll send it to you immediately."

  Mary Yun couldn’t help chuckling.

  "Mrs. Zhang, take her up. And send food up too." said Qu.

  "Let’s go up. I’ll send food to you right away." said Zhang, and she’s going to help her up.

  "Enough! She has got down already. Let’s eat together." Huo waved his hand and showed that she did not have to send it up alone.

  Mrs. Zhang looked at Qu Zhirong awkwardly. And she didn’t know what to do next.

  "We can’t eat together! Don’t you feel unlucky?" Qu Zhirong sneered.

  "What are you talking about?" David Huo frowned.

  "Nian, are you feeling better?" Mary Yun asked her.

  Linda Yun picked the chopsticks up and ignored her.

  "Nian, don’t be sad. I’m so sorry to hear about that. I believe you have the chance to have kids in the future. I’ve asked the doctor. He said although it is hard but you still have chances. Am I right?" she added in time, "don’t worry about it. You can still have test-tube babies."

  Linda Yun gave her a sneer.

  Difficult to have babies!

  Test-tube babies?

  You were so sweet!

  "Thank for your concern. I will try hard with my husband!" She smiled brightly, "we are still young. We have enough time to do that. Right?"

  Mary Yun was angry but she had to smile back.

  "You’ve done many bad things before, so God punished you this time! Be a good woman or you will be killed by God."

  David Huo frowned, "is that a mother-in-law should say?"

  Qu sneered, "I am not her mother-in-law! And I have said that my daughter-in-law is Mary."

  Then, she held Mary’s hand, "you are too kind."

  "Mummy..." Mary Yun called her timidly and then she looked at Linda Yun in a panic, "auntie, don’t scold Nian. She didn’t mean it..."

  Qu saw her expression and frowned, "don’t call me auntie. Call me mummy! I’ve said many times."

  "But, but now Nian and Tingchen are... I’m afraid I have no chance to be your daughter-in-law." Mary Yun said and hung down her head.

  Then, she almost burst into tears.

  Seeing her like that, Qu Zhirong couldn’t help feeling sorrier for her.

  "Who told you that! I will ask him divorce Linda Yun in a couple of days. How can Huo family marry a woman who can’t bear kids?" Qu Zhirong galred at Linda Yun discontentedly.

  "Stop! Your words are so mean. No matter what happens in the future, Linda Yun is our daughter-in-law now. Others will laugh at you if they hear that!"

  "We are in home now and Mary isn’t other people. Is there anyone else here?" Qu Zhirong smiled and looked at Mary Yun softly.

  "What are you talking about? You look so happy." Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared.

  Mary Yun looked back immediately and saw Michael Huo coming to them in dark casual clothes.

  Suddenly, her eyes were filled with helplessness and love...

  "You are so early today. What happened?" Qu Zhirong was a little surprised.

  "Business was done, so I came back early." Michael Huo sat next to Linda Yun.

  "Are you feeling better?"

  "I’m all right." said Linda Yun faintly.

  David Huo asked, "recently, I’ve heard from your uncle that you want to purchase YaTai Group, do you?"

  YaTai? Mary Yun was surprised.

  That’s a big enterprise!

  If the purchase was successful done, Michael Huo would be more...

  "Well, we are discussing the details."

  At this time, Mrs. Zhang added a pair of chopsticks and dishes.

  David Huo asked again, "the YaTai group is not easy to purchase. I hear that several big companies are eyeing it covetously. Are you sure about it?"

  "Let nature take its course." Michael Huo smiled thinly and picked up a chicken leg in the bowl of Linda Yun, "eat more."

  David Huo nodded and said, "Ok, if anything you can’t solve, then come to me."

  Then he stood up and said, "I will play golf with my friend. Enjoy yourselves and I have to leave now."

  They nodded.

  "Na, I remember that your father’s company belongs to the YaTai Group, right?" Qu Zhirong suddenly remembered that and looked at Mary Yun.

  Mary Yun nodded, "yes,one of my father’s companies is owned by the YaTai Group, if this time Tingchen can purchase them,then..."

  "Then we will be family!" Qu Zhirong smiled, "once we purchase it, there will be more and more business assigned to your father’s company."

  Mary Yun added, "once the group is purchased, there will be so many companies to take a piece of the pie. And I do not want others to feel unfair because of our relationships. So, if it come true, my father will also rely on his own strength to compete with those companies!"

  Mary Yun expressed her magnanimity and consideration incisively and vividly from her words.

  Linda Yun stopped eating and then she looked at Michael Huo, and said, "I want to go to school next Monday."

  HaMichael Huo stopped eating and looked at her, "go to school?"

  "Yeah, April is coming. I’ve been off school for a long time. I need to catch up my lessons or I’ll fail to graduate."

  "You haven’t recovered completely. Just have a rest, and I’ll arrange for you." said Michael Huo.

  "I’m fine. It’s not a big deal."

  "Are you sure?" He stared at her deeply.

  "I’m sure!"

  They talked with each other and directly ignored Mary Yun.

  That irritated Mary Yun. She clenched her fists on her knees.

  However, she still smiled, "Nian, I think you’d better have a good rest before you get well. Why not let me help you your lessons?"

  Hearing that, Linda Yun looked at her and suddenly smiled, "you help me with my lessons? Seriously?"

  Seeing her smile Mary Yun felt uncomfortable and she didn’t speak.

  "Mind your own business!" After saying that, she put down the chopsticks and said, "mum, I have finished. I’m going upstairs."

  "Wait me! Let’s go together." Michael Huo also finished his eating and was ready to leave. Suddenly he realized that he had ignored something so that he turned around and asked Mary Yun, "Na, how about you? Are you feeling better?"

  His words let Mary Yun came to herself and excited. She nodded and answered him, "I’m... much better now.... Thanks for caring about me..."

  Michael Huo nodded, "you can go home now if there is nothing wrong with you. Your parents would be worried if you stay here all the time."

  Mary Yun failed to words.

  "Let’s go." The man held Linda Yun to the elevator.

  "Auntie..." Mary Yun bit her lips and her eyes turned red at once, "Tingchen is kicking me out, right?"

  "Don’t listen to him, Na. Here is your home!" Qu Zhirong sympathetically wiped Mary Yun’s tears with some tissues and promised to her, "don’t worry. No one can hurt you while I’m here. And I’ll let them go to divorce soon!"

  Mary Yun leaned over in her arms, sobbing softly.

  "Why do you want her to leave?" Linda Yun asked him in a casual way after they got back.

  Michael Huo came over and handed her a glass of water, "I can’t bear her hurting you."

  Sitting on the sofa, Linda Yun was a little surprised, with a brief stagnation of her hands, looking at him.

  The man didn’t say any words but stared at her in a meaningful way. His dark eyes indicated the unpredictable smile.

  Linda Yun hastily put aside her eyes, holding the glass, thoughtfully.

  "Are you distracted again?" The man was a little unsatisfied with her behavior. He put his hands on both sides of the sofa and looked down at her.

  Linda Yun looked up at him, asked a question suddenly, "can I compete with others for your company’s business?"
