Chapter 236: Son Pays Father’s Debt

They held hands intimately.

Walk along the dark blue carpet in the center of the left and right sides, passing through rows of seats.

Facing curious eyes.

Take a seat in the most eye-catching first row.

And Huo Min still held her hand tightly and didn't let go.

Mu Yuan looked at him with moving eyes and said softly, "Okay."

She lowered her eyelashes and glanced at their joined hands.

Huo Min curled his lips: "Not enough."

Mu Yuan was surprised: "?"

His black eyes curved slightly, and suddenly there was a sparkle in them.

The fingers that were inserted between her slender fingers tightened slightly.

The expectation in his black eyes made her heart beat wildly.

His voice was low and magnetic: "I have imagined countless times, holding hands with you and welcoming the good news together."

Mu Yuan's pupils flickered.

I feel mixed emotions.

She held his hand tightly, her eyes sparkling with spring blossoms, and said solemnly: "Don't fantasize anymore, I will always be with you."

Huo Min's eyes gradually became hot, like two dancing and burning sparks.

His Adam's apple rolled again and again, and he said hoarsely: "Okay."

The host of the calibration meeting has come on stage.

"Thank you to all the leaders, bidders, and journalists for your support and attention. This is the first large-scale, all-commercial project in the city, covering a kilometer-long area. It carries the blueprint for the city's future development and is of great significance. Therefore, we are announcing the winning bidder through an open bidding process."

The host held up a sealed brown paper bag and said, "This bid document was selected by the construction company and social experts. I will now open it in public."

Mu Yuan felt a little nervous for no reason.

She glanced sideways, wanting to see Huo Min's reaction.

His expression was calm, and there was no trace of anxiety on his handsome face with deep bones.

Mu Yuan sincerely envied his good attitude.

She was about to look away.

Huo Min's black eyes turned sideways.

Mu Yuan paused, smiled brightly, and whispered, "Aren't you nervous at all?"

Huo Min curled his lips slightly: "I'm used to it."

She whispered, "You have such a good attitude. I really want to learn."

"Want to learn?" A deep smile flashed across Huo Min's eyes.

Mu Yuan didn't notice and nodded slightly: "Yeah, I want to learn."

Huo Min's voice was leisurely: "Then come closer and I'll teach you."

Mu Yuan was confused and didn't know how he could teach her now.

But she met his smiling black eyes.

She just leaned her head towards him obediently.

As she approached.

Huo Min felt itchy at the sight of that beautiful face that was defenseless and full of trust.

The corners of his lips were raised, his dark eyes were lowered, and he spoke each word clearly, and the hot air he exhaled fell on her small and pretty ears.

He said quietly, "Just call me husband and I'll teach you."

The seriousness on Mu Yuan's face suddenly turned into embarrassment.

She pursed her lips.

The first reaction was to look around like a thief.

I was afraid that Huo Min’s arrogant remarks just now would be heard by others.

Huo Min saw her looking around like a vigilant meerkat.

The smile on his lips couldn't stop: "How is it?"

The next second, his foot was stepped on.

His hands were also pulled free and he was even pinched.

"You're dreaming!" Mu Yuan glared at him.

In such a serious occasion, this person has only inappropriate thoughts!

He was quite content.

On the other hand, she felt hot all over.

Seeing her turn her head away and ignore him.

Huo Min rarely saw her being so arrogant, and his heart warmed up, and he wanted to hold her hand back.

only.

His fingertips had just touched the back of her hand.

He was beaten mercilessly.

Huo Min laughed.

Reach out again.

He pushed his fingers into hers domineeringly.

Mu Yuan tried to break free.

It didn't work.

I saw that his eyebrows were filled with a hint of fascination.

Heartbroken.

Let him be.

Huo Min stared at her compromising expression, his thin lips curled up.

The host has opened the brown paper bag.

Once again, the front and back pages were displayed to the public: "Everyone, the cover has been opened."

The shutter sounds began to ring again.

Everyone is ready to take pictures of the announcement moment.

Mu Yuan's heart was pounding.

He stared at the brown paper bag in the host's hand without blinking.

The host took out a piece of cardboard from the paper bag.

He turned the printed paper over to face the audience.

"Congratulations to the Huo Group for becoming the first winning bidder!"

The sounds of shutter clicks, applause, and thanks were heard one after another.

Mu Yuan turned around excitedly.

She met Huo Min's deep eyes that had been fixed on her face.

Amidst the myriad movements.

He gazed at her affectionately, straightly, and firmly.

That moment.

There was a very exaggerated sentence, but it fit her current mood very well: Her heart melted.

The host said on stage: "Let's give a round of applause and invite Mr. Huo from the Huo Group to come to the stage and give his speech."

He whispered, "I'll go up."

Mu Yuan smiled: "Okay."

Huo Min held her hand tightly.

He was immediately released.

She followed him closely as he walked from the stage to the stage.

He stood with his hands hanging down, his expression calm, and delivered his speech smoothly and easily on the stage.

Just like the Huo Min she saw on her phone and TV.

The dazzling Huo Min who used his strength to make the Huo family soar to its peak and conquer the entire business world.

Get off the screen at this moment.

Just standing in front of her.

Mu Yuan was quiet.

Bury your phone in front of your abdomen.

Amidst the sound of shutter clicks, several were contributed.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Huo Min on the screen, a slight smile on her lips.

But the next second.

The smile on her face was shattered by the angry roar from behind.

"Unscrupulous Huo family, give me justice!"

Mu Yuan was startled and turned around quickly.

At the entrance, a dozen people held a banner that read, "The unscrupulous Huo family destroyed my home and deserves death."

The scene suddenly became heated.

Reporters quickly turned their cameras to the group of troublemakers.

The leader, a short, triangular-eyed man in an electrician's uniform, shouted the loudest, "The unscrupulous Huo family tricked our villagers into signing a land sale agreement, then demolished all our land. They've yet to build the commercial district we agreed on, and they've even stopped paying us resettlement fees! They've left all our villagers homeless, a fate worse than homelessness! Today, we're here to demand justice!"

Mu Yuan looked at Huo Min anxiously.

On the stage, his expression grew increasingly stern as he rebuked in a cold voice, "The Huo family will hold all those responsible for causing trouble and spreading rumors today accountable to the end."

The leading man immediately got excited: "Bullshit! We should be the ones holding you accountable! You, Huo Gang, fooled us back then, saying construction would begin within a month after the demolition. Then you said something about the land not meeting construction regulations and just walked away! The project is now dead!"

Upon hearing Huo Gang's name, the coldness in Huo Min's eyes grew even stronger. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Huo Gang only signed the project with you on his own behalf, not on behalf of the Huo family. No Huo family project will ever be left unfinished."

"Oh! Are you trying to shirk responsibility by saying that?! Huo Gang is your father! It's only natural for a son to pay for his father's debts! I'm telling you, you can't get rid of this responsibility! You must shoulder it!"

Huo Min's dark pupils shone with disgust, and his tone was cold: "Whether or not you take responsibility is not your decision, but today, the damage you have caused to the Huo family's reputation will be investigated by the Huo family's legal team."

The leading man immediately erupted: "Family members, since he's unreasonable, we won't reason with him! Smash it!"

The dozen or so villagers behind him started smashing things around indiscriminately, and the sound of objects and tables falling down was deafening.

This caused panic and chaos in the venue.

The guests in their seats fled in haste.

For fear of being hurt by mistake.

The villagers were very excited and strong, and the security guards who stepped forward to stop them were pushed to the ground instead.

The villagers picked up chairs and were about to throw them at the security guards.

And the front end of the direction it hit.

Just sitting there was Mu Yuan.

Huo Min's eyes suddenly turned stern, and he quickly jumped off the stage and ran towards Mu Yuan.

However.

His action.

In the eyes of the villagers, another meaning was misinterpreted.

"He's about to run away! Everyone, catch him!"
