After the two finished their meal, they sat in a private room talking when Huo Xingchen's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and then answered the call.

He's peeling oranges for Qingyou right now, and he's also put the phone on speakerphone.

I wiped my hands and continued peeling.

A slightly angry female voice quickly came from the other end, "You and your father asked for 300 million to invest in a movie?"

Huo Xingchen said lazily, "Yeah, is there something you need?"

Mrs. Huo snorted coldly, "You're just asking for trouble. You'd rather abandon the perfectly good Huo family company and go after that lousy little entertainment company."

Huo Xingchen pouted, "I'm happy to!"

He had absolutely no hope for this love-obsessed mother.

He was raised in a free-range manner when he was a child. This woman either chased after his father or went back to her parents' home to show off. He was raised by a nanny.

He even suspected that his father had suddenly acted impulsively when he married his mother.

While his mother was indeed the most beautiful and had the best figure among his father's women, her intelligence and emotional intelligence were inversely proportional.

Maybe he married her because his mother was the dumbest?

After all, if you're too stupid, you won't make any waves. Plus, if you're love-struck, you're easy to manipulate.

The other concubines are too shrewd; his father doesn't bother with them anymore.

Mrs. Huo was furious. "You good-for-nothing! You're going to invest all this money in a movie? This is utter nonsense!"

Huo Xingchen unleashed his trump card, "My dad has no objections, which means I'm favored, so you don't need to worry about it."

Mrs. Huo choked on her words. Since her husband had no objections, she really didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, then let's talk about something else."

"I heard you kicked your cousin out of the company for a woman?"

This is something she cannot tolerate.

Huo Xingchen fed the peeled orange to Qingyou, saying, "If I let her continue managing my company, it will probably be taken over in less than two years. Do you think I can still keep her in that situation?"

His daughter, Youyou, shouldn't be blamed for this.

Mrs. Huo snorted, "The Huo family is so big and powerful, what good would it do to give your little company to your cousin?"

"You not only kicked her out of the company, but you also kicked your two other cousins ​​out of the tech company. What are you trying to do?"

She deliberately said, "If you don't like me, just say so. Why take it out on them?"

A few days ago, her family members came to her crying and complaining, and she felt very ashamed.

The Huo family is so wealthy and powerful, do they really need such a small, run-down company? The son is being too stingy.

Huo Xingchen rolled his eyes. "If that's how you put it, then there's nothing I can do. Just assume I don't like you and that's why I told them to get lost."

Other people's mothers are helpful, but his mother is a complete liability.

"You!" Mrs. Huo was speechless again, furious. "You scoundrel, are you only happy when you've made me angry to death?"

Huo Xingchen said dismissively, "What's so great about making you angry? Are you rich or do you have some kind of business that I can inherit?"

They were never close when they were young. This woman didn't care about him when he was young, and now she has lost the right to care about him.

Huo's mother raised her voice, "Huo Xingchen, don't go too far."

Huo Xingchen fed Qingyou another segment of orange, saying, "That's just my personality, you know that."

"If I were you, I would never call to be bullied."

Mrs. Huo knew exactly what kind of scoundrel her son was, and it had gotten even worse lately. "I think you've been bewitched by that vixen named You."

"I don't care, you can continue to send your cousin back to work."

She said, "Or you can give that 300 million to your cousin. The three of them happen to want to start a company together, so consider it an apology for driving them away before."

Upon hearing what Huo's mother said, Qingyou gave Huo Xingchen a look that seemed to say, "Is your mother a little out of her mind?"

That's quite a boast, demanding that his own son pay his cousins ​​300 million yuan in compensation and apologize.

Huo Xingchen gave her a look and mouthed, "I also think she's lost her mind."

A woman obsessed with love and a brother-supporting demon is just too much to handle.

He replied with a sneer, "You must still be dreaming. I'm only not sending them to prison because of you."

He also warned, "If you and they cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."

Mrs. Huo couldn't understand how her son could be so heartless. "How can you be so ruthless? I'm your own mother, and they are your own cousins. Aren't they better than those bastards in the Huo family who are helping you?"

Huo Xingchen scoffed, "Do you dare say that last thing to the old man? If they're bastards, then the old man is a beast?"

That description seems quite apt; I'll talk to the old man about it another day.

Mrs. Huo was speechless, "You!"

“You are not allowed to say these things to your father, nor are you allowed to say them to him.”

Huo Xingchen didn't tolerate her at all. "Mind your own business."

"Alright, I'm not going to let those bloodsuckers from your family keep coming back. If you have money, you can support your family yourself. I'm not a sucker."

"Call me less often in the future, I'm busy."

He hung up the phone before the other person could continue.

When they were little, he would call her, but she was busy catching fox spirits, shopping, or playing mahjong, so she would just give him a perfunctory answer and hang up.

When she grew up, she would take the initiative to contact him, but it was never for anything serious. She would either cry and say that she was angered by a vixen and ask him to speak well of her to her father, or ask him to take the initiative to fight for the inheritance, or ask him to help her family.

Before he regained his memories, he was like someone detached from this world, so he didn't care.

Now, however, they certainly won't indulge or condone it anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Xingchen felt refreshed. "It must be those few leeches who went to her crying and complaining again. Only when they do that will she take the initiative to contact me."

Qingyou peeled an orange and fed it to him, saying, "They all think you're a traitor."

She asked with a smile, "By the way, will your mom come looking for me?"

Huo Xingchen happily ate the orange, "Given her personality, she'll most likely come looking for you."

His love-struck mother always wanted him to marry a wealthy heiress of equal social standing.

Qingyou asked jokingly, "If she were to hand me a check, should I accept it or not?"

To be honest, she's never experienced being handed a check before.

Huo Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. "Do you want to accept the offer? Her personality is a bit eccentric. If you accept it and we continue to be together, she'll probably come to your door and bother you all the time."

"Moreover, I suspect that my cousin is giving her advice. Be careful that she doesn't record what she talks to you about."

Having a mother who holds him back is exhausting.

His father was watching the play, and I bet he was really enjoying it.

I don't know what kind of weird taste they have. No wonder they managed to become a couple; they're both a bit out of their minds.

Qingyou chuckled and said, "Well, if she comes looking for me, I'll play along."

Not only Huo Xingchen's cousin, she also suspected that Chu Lanwen was behind Xiaoxing's mother.

They wanted to use Xiaoxing's mother to make it impossible for her to stay at Xingchen Entertainment, so that Chu Lanwen could easily control her.
