Huo Zhixing's eyes were deep, his broad back stiffened slightly, and he remained silent.

The air seemed to freeze, and Huo Wenyuan's eyes were fixed on him.

He emphasized as he asked again, "Who is Jiang Can?"

"She is my wife."

Huo Wenyuan suddenly raised his hand!

The tea set on the table shattered with a loud crash, leaving a mess on the floor!

Huo Zhixing clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Huo Wenyuan demanded sharply, "When did you get married? When did you have this woman?"

"If I hadn't stopped this statement, were you really planning to hand over half of the Huo family's empire to someone else?!"

The housekeeper and servants were all outside the door, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly when they heard the commotion inside.

Even Fang Han was stunned.

Huo Wenyuan is usually calm and composed, and rarely gets so angry.

Today, the grandfather and grandson inside resembled two lions facing off; just hearing their voices was enough to send chills down your spine, let alone getting close.

"You're going to give half of all your assets, stocks, funds, including overseas real estate and cash, to that woman?"

"Zhixing," Huo Wenyuan said coldly, "what exactly are you thinking!"

Huo Zhixing licked his lips, his gaze cold and resolute. "Not half... but all of it."

"What did you say?"

"The statement is only half-written now because she hasn't truly become my wife yet. In the future, when she becomes my real wife, everything I have will be hers."

Huo Wenyuan's eyes were cold as he stared at him for a long time, his brows furrowed.

So, you two aren't married yet?

Huo Zhixing gritted his teeth.

Huo Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew that Huo Zhixing had been recuperating in Jiangzhou after the plane crash, and perhaps that's when he met that woman.

When a person is injured, that is when their will is weakest, making them most vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

"It's best if you're not married," Huo Wenyuan said calmly. "This kind of woman is unreliable. She's only getting close to you because of your status and position. You'd better stay clear-headed and not fall into her trap!"

“Grandpa,” Huo Zhixing said in a low voice, “she doesn’t know who I am.”

"That would be even better!"

Huo Wenyuan walked slowly to the French windows with his hands behind his back.

"Break up with her now, you won't lose anything. If Jiang Can insists on staying with you, just give her some compensation. Let her name her price!"

"grandfather!"

Huo Zhixing clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

He looked into Huo Wenyuan's eyes, and every word he spoke was firm and resolute.

"I came back this time to be honest with you. I will not leave Cancan. She is the only one I want in this life!"

"Huo Zhixing!" Huo Wenyuan roared, his anger flaring. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Grandpa, I'm perfectly lucid."

"you……"

Huo Wenyuan suddenly raised his hand, but it trembled in mid-air before finally not falling.

This is his grandson, whom he raised single-handedly and whom he is proud to be his successor.

But at this moment, he's lost his mind over a woman!

“Zhixing,” he said, his voice trembling, “are you really going to disappoint me?”

Huo Zhixing took a deep breath, his heart filled with torment.

But in the end, he slowly raised his eyes and met Huo Wenyuan's cold and sharp gaze.

Huo Wenyuan decided to compromise, and after a long pause, he said softly, "If you really like this woman, then bring her here."

Huo Zhixing frowned, unable to believe his ears.

“City is so big, there must be a place for her to stay.” Huo Wenyuan gripped his dragon-headed cane. “Find her a place to live and settle her down. After you get married, you can visit her a few times a month.”

"As long as she behaves herself and doesn't cause trouble, you can keep her by your side!"

Huo Zhixing was stunned, and after a long while, he gave a cold laugh, "So Grandpa wanted her to be my mistress?"

"A woman like that, being a mistress is an honor for her!"

Huo Zhixing's heart trembled violently.

"Impossible!" he said fiercely. "I will never let her suffer such injustice!"

"Then what do you plan to do? Marry her?" Huo Wenyuan said sternly, "I think you've been bewitched!"

He was panting heavily, turned to look out the window, and clutched his chest with one hand.

"Zhixing, break up with her immediately! Even if you don't want to marry Yao Manning, you can choose one from the other three major families!"

"I told you, I don't want anyone but Jiang Can in this lifetime!"

"You don't want anyone but her?" Huo Wenyuan raised his voice, turning back to glare coldly at him. "What if she disappears from this world?"

Huo Zhixing felt a buzzing in his ears and involuntarily took two steps back.

Huo Wenyuan approached him, "Zhixing, you are the successor I personally groomed. Whatever you do, your motivation can only be the Huo family!"

"And Grandpa's responsibility is to clear all obstacles for you... including women!"

Huo Zhixing's throat tightened, and his eyes darkened further.

His fist clenched tightly at his side, then relaxed, and the air froze again. His silence gradually brought a look of relief to Huo Wenyuan's face.

He was about to reach out and pat him on the shoulder when Huo Zhixing suddenly dodged away.

Huo Zhixing looked up at him, his icy and fierce eyes like those of a beast roaming in the night.

“Grandpa,” he said, emphasizing each word, “if you make her disappear, I guarantee you will also lose the heir you personally nurtured!”

"you……"

Huo Wenyuan was shocked. He moved his lips but couldn't utter a word.

Huo Zhixing turned and strode away.

The housekeeper and servants were in a panic when they left. Fang Han hurriedly followed, but when he saw Huo Zhixing's ashen face, he swallowed back the question he wanted to ask.
