Huo Wenyuan did not agree.

He stared coldly at Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan. During those ten-odd seconds of silence, the entire study seemed to have entered a vacuum.

A sense of oppression hovered over Huo Zhanhe and his son, their lips trembling as they remained silent.

Suddenly, Huo Wenyuan picked up the crystal ashtray on the table and smashed it at the two of them!

"asshole!"

"Ah—" Huo Zhiyan reacted quickly, crouching down with his head in his hands. Huo Zhanhe, though not hit, did not dodge either, and the ashtray fell at his feet, shattering into pieces.

Huo Wenyuan roared in fury: "You... Ha, you really are my good sons and good grandsons! How could my Huo family produce two scoundrels like you!"

Not only is he a scoundrel, but he's also incredibly stupid; the phrase "confessing without being asked" perfectly encapsulates his character.

Jiang Can watched all of this with a cold eye.

"Take your good son and get out!" Huo Wenyuan raised his cane and slammed it hard into Huo Zhanhe's calf.

Huo Zhanhe jolted in pain and cried out. However, this blow, as if under a curse, shattered the last vestige of fatherly affection in his heart.

Huo Zhanhe's face turned ashen, his hands clenched into fists, and a sinister and vicious look gradually surfaced in his eyes.

"Ha, Zhiyan and I are scum?!" He gritted his teeth. "Old man, you have no right to lecture me like that!"

“You…” Huo Wenyuan’s eyes widened.

Apart from Huo Zhixing, no one has ever dared to talk back to him like this!

However, the feeling of being contradicted by Huo Zhixing is completely different from being contradicted by Huo Zhanhe!

He will be more patient with his beloved grandson.

He couldn't tolerate his scoundrel son for even a second!

"Huo Zhanhe, I'll say it one last time," Huo Wenyuan stared into his eyes, "take your good-for-nothing son and get out of the Huo family!"

"Ha, what right do you have to do this?" Huo Zhanhe sneered. "I've become like this because of you!"

"From childhood to adulthood, you've only ever cared about your older brother! My younger siblings and I aren't even your biological children, are we? You've treated us worse than a stepfather!"

"I gave him the best house to live in, arranged the best marriage for him, doted on his son the most, and even let him divorce and marry you... But what about him? He's nothing! He's even more useless than me!"

"Old man, it's because of your favoritism that things have come to this! Ha, if Huo Zhixing had really died in the plane crash five years ago, don't blame anyone but yourself!"

"Have you said enough?!" Huo Wenyuan roared.

But he was getting old and his body wasn't as strong as before. After shouting, he swayed a couple of times and felt a little dizzy.

Jiang Can quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Me, biased?" Huo Wenyuan emphasized each word. "Ha, Zhan Peng may not be very capable, but he's honest, kind, and straightforward, and he would never scheme against others! If you had half the character of your older brother, I'd be biased towards you too!"

"Huo Zhanhe, haven't I been lenient with you enough? Many things aren't because you've done them perfectly, but because I simply don't want to argue with you!"

"But I didn't expect you to push your luck. You even schemed against Zhixing, what else wouldn't you dare to do?!"

Huo Wenyuan was so angry that he was panting heavily. When Cen Bo saw this scene at the door, he immediately gave a secret signal to the bodyguard.

Several tall and burly bodyguards suddenly stepped forward and firmly restrained Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan.

Jiang Can poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huo Wenyuan, then obediently sat down beside him and massaged the old man's back.

“Grandpa, don’t be angry…” Jiang Can gestured to him with her eyes, “Now is not the time to be angry, Grandpa, we have something else to discuss…”

Huo Wenyuan paused for a moment, then nodded, speaking weakly, "I know... Can Can, I'm leaving this to you. Take that person to where he belongs!"

"Yes, I will." Jiang Can's eyes were firm.

She asked Uncle Cen to arrange for a family doctor to come over immediately and give her grandfather a full check-up.

Then she walked up to Huo Zhiyan, smiled slightly, and said, "Please lead the way, brother!"

Huo Zhiyan pretended not to understand, "What?"

Jiang Can smiled and said clearly, "Go catch them in the act!"

...

Huo Zhiyan had no choice but to listen. Right now, he and Huo Zhanhe were like two weeds in the Huo family, the kind that anyone could step on.

So, escorted by bodyguards, he took Jiang Can to Yan Yuan.

In the guest room, Cheng Xuerou was applying medicine to Gu Mang, feigning tears, and was about to throw herself at him when Gu Mang suddenly shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

The tone of her voice changed, which startled Cheng Xuerou.

Gu Mang's wounds hurt when they were pulled, and he hissed.

"Third Young Master..." Cheng Xue called him softly, "I've been here with you for several days since you got injured!"

"Huh? Oh..." Gu Mang thought she wanted money and waved his hand impatiently, "If you want money, go find the young master. I've already signed a lot of papers for him and made a lot of money!"

"What did you say?" Cheng Xuerou was taken aback.

Gu Mang quickly stopped talking, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Third Young Master," Cheng Xuerou rolled her eyes, "I've been with you all this time, and you're just going to watch me end up like this in the entertainment industry?"

Gu Mang glanced at him sideways: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Of course it's bad! Those people all look down on me..."

"You're not a big star, it's normal for them to look down on you!"

"you……"

Cheng Xuerou took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

Gu Mang was fed up. His injuries, coupled with Cheng Xuerou's constant nagging about spending money to make him famous, made him question the meaning of life.

"Third Young Master, you can't just not help!" Cheng Xuerou went all in and plopped down in his lap.

Gu Mang reacted instinctively by shoving him hard, yelling, "Go to hell! You trying to kill me with pain?"

Cheng Xuerou was pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground and crying out in pain.

"Get the hell away from me!" Gu Mang snapped. "You touched my wound!"

Cheng Xuerou was unwilling to give up and struggled to stand up, clinging to him again. Gu Mang almost slapped her twice, but with a warm and soft body in his arms, he couldn't control himself and even lost his reason.

Cheng Xuerou took the opportunity to lean in and kiss him.

However, before they could kiss, the room door slammed open.

The two people inside the room were startled.

"Heh, no wonder you haven't even gone home," Jiang Can's mocking voice rang out. "So you've been hiding here with your older brother, living a carefree life!"

Gu Mang and Cheng Xuerou were both dumbfounded.

They saw Jiang Can standing at the door, exuding the aura of a mistress of the house. Behind her, the man with his head drooping and being held down by a bodyguard, was none other than the usually arrogant... Huo Zhiyan?

"What...what's going on?" Gu Mang stammered, but still pretended to be Huo Zhixing and said, "Can Can, why are you grabbing Big Brother? Quick, tell someone to release him!"

“Big brother made a mistake, so he has to be punished like this!” Jiang Can smiled. “He needs to learn a lesson, so how can we let him off the hook?”
