Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 481 - 479: A Female Confidante

Xiaoyi... has a son?

Who is the child’s biological father?

So has Huo Shao now remembered the past?

No, that’s not right, if he had recalled the past, why would he let Xiaoyi be a servant?

What on earth is going on here?

Su Yan held back the increasingly intense shock in her chest, and her tone was as calm as possible: "Okay, I got it, Hui Sister."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

She lifted her head and glanced at the second floor, at the master bedroom’s door ajar with a sliver of orange light shining through.

At this time, the old master should already be awake.

She walked upstairs, outside the master bedroom door, and knocked softly, her voice even gentler than it had been downstairs:

"Old Master, have you taken your medicine?"

When the old master was in China, his heart wasn’t very good, and his blood pressure was unstable. Even after moving to America these past years, his condition continued to deteriorate and he had to rely on medication to maintain his health.

After a while, an aged yet kind voice came from inside:

"Su Yan? Come in."

A gentle smile spread across Su Yan’s delicate face as she pushed the door open and entered.

But now that Huo Shao had returned to China and run into Xiaoyi again, and they seemed to be getting close...

How could Xiaoyi be working as a maid for Huo Shao?

Without time to think further, at this moment, seeing Su Yan enter, Huo Tianpei spoke amiably, "Why have you come so early today?"

His words interrupted Su Yan’s deep reverie.

She revealed a slight smile: "With Huo Shao not in America, no one is reminding the old master to take his medication on time, so of course, I have to fulfill Huo Shao’s responsibility in his stead."

As she spoke, she poured a cup of warm water and handed over the prepared antihypertensive and heart medication from the nightstand to the old master.

Huo Tianpei looked at Su Yan and couldn’t help feeling sentimental. At the time, he kept Su Yan and invited her into the company because he saw she was a top student with exceptional abilities. She took great and meticulous care of his son. It turned out his judgment was indeed correct.

In the past few years, Su Yan had worked her way up from the grassroots in the Huo Group’s American branch office and, in a short period of time, had been promoted to be the CEO’s chief secretary, becoming the most competent assistant by his son’s side.

Su Yan was not only outstanding at her job, but she also took great personal care in her private time, attending to his son’s daily life splendidly.

The old master had also heard that people in the company quietly discussed that Miss Secretary Su was the BOSS’s close female confidant.

As Su Yan’s position in the Huo Group rose, her relationship with the Huo Family became increasingly intimate, often entering and leaving the Huo Mansion as though she were half the hostess herself.

In the eyes of most of the servants in the Huo Family’s American household, Miss Su was not only a competent assistant to the young master at work but also very much like a co-master of the Huo Family, greatly favored by the old master.

Thinking of this, the old master chuckled lightly: "Even if he were in America, he’s so busy that he’s out of his mind—how would he remind me to take my medicine? You are the thoughtful and attentive one."

He also knew that Su Yan’s feelings for Zhenyang over the years weren’t just of a subordinate towards her boss. It was a pity that Zhenyang only saw Su Yan as a work partner, with absolutely no other response.

After giving the old master his medicine, Su Yan sat down on the nearby sofa, her mind still pondering Hui Sister’s phone call earlier, she steeled her resolve and clenched her small fist slightly.

No, she had to return to China to find out what exactly was going on.

With that thought, she looked at the older gentleman, lips slightly parting, yet with a hesitant expression as if wanting to say something but holding back.

"What’s the matter, Su Yan?" Huo Tianpei rarely saw her so troubled and knew there must be an issue.

"Sister Hui just called."

"Sister Hui? It’s not something about Zhenyang, is it?" Huo Tianpei was slightly alarmed.

Su Yan shook her head, "Don’t worry, Elder, Mr. Huo’s health is not an issue. It’s just that there’s a lot to deal with this time back in China. Besides the acquisition plan, there’s also the Yunling City mayoral election. Mr. Huo is shouldering it all by himself and it must be quite hard on him. You know how he is, Elder; when Mr. Huo gets busy, he’s like a man possessed, barely taking care of anything else. In America, we can help and look after him all the time, but now, he’s alone in China, and I’m a bit worried."

Huo Tianpei understood what she meant and spoke up, "Su Yan, how about you go back to China to help Zhenyang share the burden?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Su Yan sighed in relief internally, but said, "Elder, before Mr. Huo left, he asked me to manage the affairs of the American subsidiary, and he didn’t ask me to go over. I’m afraid he might not be pleased."

"I will have the butler, Kevin, tell him that it was my orders for you to go. Don’t worry. Could he possibly get angry at that? You have been his most reliable assistant for many years, capable in every respect and most able to understand his intentions in work. If you go over, you could assist him in both official and private matters, and I would be much more at ease."

Huo Tianpei spoke with finality, then paused before adding, "Moreover, lately, there have indeed been some strange occurrences with Zhenyang. Indeed, it is necessary for you to go check on that for me."

"Strange? What’s up?" Su Yan was puzzled.

"Ade called back, saying that Zhenyang has recently asked him to look up work schedules from five years ago. In these years in America, Zhenyang never thought about checking into past matters, but now that he’s back in China, things have changed. I don’t know if he ran into some trouble... Your presence there could help me find out what’s going on," Huo Tianpei’s expression grew more solemn.

Su Yan was moved, yet she quickly nodded, "Alright, Elder, then I’ll go book a flight back to China this afternoon."

Su Yan closed the room door behind her and left the second floor with a soft step.

After the room fell silent, Huo Tianpei couldn’t help but sigh without reason.

Four years had passed.

It had been four years since he had forcibly taken Zhenyang to America for brain surgery.

The top medical team that was prepared well in advance succeeded in the surgery, finally preventing his son from succumbing to an early death like his wife and suffering from the family’s hereditary illness.

But an expected complication from the brain surgery occurred, the blood clot wasn’t fully dissolved and collected in the postcranial nerve area, causing a series of post-operative side effects like hazy recent memories and excruciating headaches when agitated.

The only way to cure the post-surgery side effects was to perform the surgery again, and painstakingly suction out the blood clot.

However, Kevin had said that for Huo Zhenyang, who had recently undergone surgery, performing the operation again in the same area carried more risks than the first time.

Even if surgery was required again, it was better to wait a few more years until the wound had sufficiently healed.

After hearing what Kevin said, Huo Tianpei had never considered letting his son undergo surgery again. While the blood clot couldn’t be removed and might at most cause post-operative side effects, it wasn’t life-threatening.

But going through another brain surgery could be fatal.

Any normal person would know what to choose.

Just after Zhenyang’s surgery had been completed, news of the S Country’s Crown Prince marrying the Duke’s daughter from the Chu Family made headlines in the overseas mainstream media.

The media didn’t reveal which Miss Chu was the bride. The Royal Family’s wedding details had always been shrouded in a degree of mystery to the public, and wouldn’t be so transparent.

But how could Huo Tianpei not know who the bride was?

In the newspaper, there was a distant shot in the large cathedral where the Royal Wedding was held. The Crown Prince groom in a wheelchair was holding the hand of the veil-covered bride dressed in a wedding gown, standing before the priest exchanging rings.
