Can't Let Go novel Chapter 167

"Miss Huo, the reason you refused the marriage of Ding’s family is that you love your brother?”

"Miss Huo, how many times you’ve aborted? Can you bear another baby again?”

"Miss Huo, I’ve heard you had adultery with Richard Qu since you’re a teenager. So have you been aborted in Austral City?"

"Miss Huo, do your parents, uncle and aunt know your affair between Richard Qu and you?"

"Get out!” Richard Qu held Jennifer Huo in his arms as he was kneeling down onto the ground.

"Mr. Qu, say something. When did you start the relationship?"

"Yes! Mr. Qu. Are you going to get married in Switzerland? The law in Switzerland was not admitted this relationship either!"

The words of reporter, like sharp swords, stabbed hard at Jennifer Huo, who had no ability to fight back.

She had imagined that one day the affair would be exposed.

How should she deal with it.

However, she was still too young after all.

This kind of public opinion, this kind of pressure, this kind of satire, and this kind of discourse, were snakier than what she expected.

Watching Jennifer Huo hiding in Richard Qu’s arms, just crying and not answering questions, reporters frowned one by one.

"Well, you see, it’s no wonder that Master Qu turned down so many celebrities. He liked Miss Huo!"

"Yeah, how many celebrities liked him years ago! He refused relentlessly. Oh, who ever thought that he’s so special. Like to incest!"

Reporters laughed one by one.

"Oh, I knew one couple who was also incest. They can’t have a child for it may be deformity or a freak!"

"Really?"

"Of course! It’s not allowed to get married from the medical fact. If married, the child will be deformity. If more serious, the child will have one more legs or arms than the usual. It’s very common!"

Hearing the words, one of the reporters boldly took the audio recorder to Richard Qu and Jennifer Huo, "Will you have child in the future? Even it’s deformity, you’ll bring it up?"

"Yeah, are you going to adopt child or find a surrogacy?" Another reporter asked aggressively.

These questions made reporters laugh willfully.

As if...

As if they were watching an entertainment show.

For these gossip reporters, as long as they dug up the points that were good for them and saw the pain of others, they would feel happy.

On the other hand, David Huo didn’t come back until over eleven o’clock yesterday.

He didn’t know the coming of Richard Qu for Qu Zhirong didn’t tell him.

In the morning, he got up early to read the newspaper as usual, but didn’t notice the affair news either.

It was his friend called to tell him about the news.

Subsequently, he and Qu Zhirong drove quickly to the airport.

In the car, David Huo said nothing, and the driver drove very fast.

David Huo looked side out of the window with anxiety.

He didn’t know what the situation of Jennifer for it took hours from home to airport.

He also didn’t know whether Jennifer could hold during these hours.

Qu Zhirong sat beside him and she didn’t speak either.

She watched the live via the phone with entire gloomy face.

The questions in the live were sharp and harsh, which drove David Huo get angry.

“Stop playing the video. Are you mad enough?" David Huo told Qu Zhirong angrily.

Qu Zhirong didn’t look up and answered in a calm voice, "When they fall in love with each other, they should know this result. I let them to break up. They don’t. Now, everyone know their affair. Damn it!"

David Huo frowned tightly for the words, “What are you talking about now?"

Qu Zhirong looked at him coldly, "What am I talking about! If all of you do as I say, if Jennifer follow my words, it wouldn’t be going like this! Richard Qu and her are cousins. How could they love each other?"

David Huo wanna excuse for Jennifer but he didn’t know what to say.

"We can stay with Jennifer for all her life even if she doesn’t get married. But she just can’t get along with Richard Qu. Once they’re together, there will be a day of exposure!" Qu Zhirong said angrily, "What they are facing now is what they should have expected!"

David Huo didn’t talk any more.

He understood the anger of Qu Zhirong.

She had compromised not to let Jennifer marry someone she didn’t like.

However, she was absolutely object to be adultery.

For once the storm of public opinion began, it would be stark mess.

"Don’t worry! We’ll be there after two traffic lights!" George Mo comforted Linda Yun and Michael Huo while driving.

Linda Yun clenched her hands tightly for she kept on the news through the phone.

She felt her heart ached when she heard the inquiries of the reporters.

Why were these reporters so immoral?

Did they have no conscience?

"Don’t watch anymore!" Michael Huo reached hands out to take the phone and shut it down.

Linda Yun knew that he was suffering a lot in his heart. It’s even worse to watch the live broadcast without standing beside Jennifer.

"Joe Guo, is anybody there?" Michael Huo took out his phone to call Joe Guo impatiently.

"Mr. Huo, we’ll be there in three minutes!"

"Well, take them away as soon as you get in and isolate the reporters!" Michael Huo ordered gloomily, "Let those aggressive reporters..."

Joe Guo had already understood what the meaning of Michael Huo even he didn’t say the whole sentence.

"Got it. Mr. Huo!" Joe Guo hurriedly turned the phone off.

"Will secretary Guo be there soon?" Linda Yun asked.

Michael Huo nodded, "they should be there a minute earlier than us. They’ll protect Jennifer and Richard Qu first and we’ll be there later!" Michael Huo held hands of Linda Yun to comfort her.

Linda Yun nodded, then again became silent.

Pulling Linda Yun’s clothes, George looked at her confusedly and made a gesture, [Mom, what’s incest?]

Linda Yun suddenly stunned.

Just then, she was worried about Jennifer and didn’t care about George beside her, so she turned on the phone...

[Mom, why is aunt Jennifer surrounded by those uncles?]

[Mom, what’s deformity?]

[Mom, is someone like me is abnormal child? Am I deformity?]

Linda Yun suddenly froze, and she busily embraced him, “George is a very healthy and smart child!"

Although Michael Huo on the other side didn’t know much about sign language, he could guess more or less what George asked.

He stroked the head of George, "George, you’re a very smart child. No matter whether you’re sick or not, no matter what others say, you’re the apple of my eyes. And you’re the most important person of your mom. Remember, don’t doubt yourself for your shortcomings, because you’re my son!"

George nodded confusedly.

"Here we are!" George Mo stopped the car at once.

Michael Huo opened the door quickly, and held George to go inside.

Linda Yun followed immediately.

George Mo couldn’t get there right away for he needed to park car first.

And Joe Guo was caught in a traffic jam. They haven’t arrived yet.

"Go away, go away!" Richard Qu held Jennifer in arms and shouted at those reporters who was immoral.

"Master Qu, are you angry now? What we said is the fact that you have to face when you’re married!"

"Yeah. When the protection during the sexuality is not done well, isn’t it Miss Huo who is aborted?"

"Well, Miss Huo can’t give birth in case the child has three legs or arms!"

"Ha ha ha!" The reporters laughed happily.

"My baby is not a deformity..." Jennifer Huo suddenly shouted at reporters.

The roar stunned the reporters.

Immediately, the reporters retorted, “If it’s not a deformity, why are you doing to abort? Oh God!"

"My child is not deformed!" Again, Jennifer Huo yelled with tears in her eyes.

Richard Qu hugged her tightly, "Stop talking, stop!"

"Jennifer!" Suddenly, Michael Huo called.

Hearing the sound, the crowd looked to them.

Then, they consciously gave the way to Michael Huo.

Jennifer Huo looked up and saw Michael Huo holding George to come to her.

Not knowing why, she felt grief more intense than before.

Suddenly, she shouted, "That’s my son. The child in my brother’s hands is my son!"

The crowd remained silent.

Linda Yun suddenly stopped.

Michael Huo was speechless.

Richard Qu was stuck.

"Miss Huo, you say the child Mr. Huo held is your son? The son of you and Master Qu?" The reporter frowned and asked in doubt, "Well, isn’t that your sister’s son?"

Jennifer Huo cried out, "That’s not my sister’s son. That’s the son of Richard Qu and me. My son is not deformed. He’s very clever. He knows everything!"

Richard Qu stunned and looked at the child in Michael Huo’s hand.

The boy...

The boy who helped him last time,

Was...

Was his son?

Michael Huo astonishingly looked at George, then at Linda Yun beside.

She almost subconsciously held George from the hands of Michael Huo, and rushed out quickly.

The reporters followed immediately as they found some news more amazed.

Why?

Why did Jennifer do this?

She rushed in so anxious and worried that Jennifer would not stand the excitement, that they would be besieged and wronged.

She thought about how to protect Jennifer and how to fight back against the reporters.

But why...

Why not waiting for her to say and Jennifer told the reporters that George was her son.

Didn’t she promise?

Promised that she would never tell others that George was her son!

At the moment, Linda Yun felt particularly uncomfortable.

She didn’t want to think about anything and care about anything.

She just wanted to leave.

Got out of here.

Got away from these annoying crowds!
