Chapter 409: Stop Kowtowing_1

Just as Nan Fei had predicted, He Jinlan returned from the hospital that night and moved into the Huo Family's home.

After receiving some fluids and minor treatment at the town clinic, her bruised face accompanied Huo Linong back home. She was carried to the clinic by Huo Linong, and brought back by Yuan Xueshan on a bicycle.

Standing at the door of the Huo family, He Jinlan hung her head and refused to come in.

It was late at night, and there was little light outside. Seeing her alone in the shadows, Yuan Xueshan felt a pang of heartache.

"What's wrong, Jinlan?" she asked softly, "Why won't you come in?"

"Mum!" He Jinlan suddenly knelt on the ground, startling Yuan Xueshan.

Huo Linong stood expressionlessly to the side, his thoughts unclear.

"What are you doing?" A bit flustered, Yuan Xueshan wanted to help her up, but was reminded that He Jinlan was Jing Tong's daughter, and Jing Tong was her husband's first love. The thought made her feel uneasy.
