Hearing Huo Jiayuan's words, the way his friends looked at him changed.

The elderly in the family are in poor health and see the doctor every day. They hope their grandson will come home for dinner. Why is Huo Jiayuan so resistant?

Moreover, Huo Jiayuan's friends all know how good Old Master Huo is to Huo Jiayuan.

"Yes, Jia Yuan, you should go back now. The old man misses you."

"The elderly are getting old. We can have gatherings anytime, but we may not have time to spend with them in the future."

“Grandpa Huo has been so good to you. Now that he’s sick, it’s not right for you not to go and keep him company.”

Huo Jiayuan's friends all sided with Huo Jiaxi and tried to persuade Huo Jiayuan.

From their perspective, Huo Jiayuan is the happiest person.

Because his grandfather treated him very well, even if Huo Jiayuan caused trouble, Old Master Huo couldn't bear to scold him.

The elderly are usually much nicer to their granddaughters. Huo Jiayuan's friends used to be quite envious of how well the elderly treated their grandsons.

Huo Jiayuan glanced at his friends surrounding him.

Huo Jiayuan's eyes were filled with anger. "What do you know that you're here to advise me?"

Huo Jiaxi, however, said smugly, "Jiayuan, look, all your friends are saying that. Why don't you come back with me after the party?"

"We've prepared a lot of your favorite dishes at home. If you can come back, Grandpa will eat an extra bowl of rice."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiayuan's friends looked at him even more strangely.

Huo Jiayuan grabbed Huo Jiaxi by the collar, "Stop talking so much nonsense."

"What do you mean you want me to go home for dinner? You just want to ask about the cooperation."

Huo Jiayuan pulled Huo Jiaxi in front of Pei Zhi and pushed Huo Jiaxi towards Pei Zhi.

"If you want to ask Pei Zhi why she doesn't cooperate with the Huo family, just ask her directly. Don't come to me!"

Huo Jiayuan felt much better when he saw that Huo Jiaxi didn't say anything.

"Why aren't you asking anymore? She's right here. How can you pressure me like this? Why are you too embarrassed to ask her?"

No one expected that Huo Jiayuan would suddenly become so emotional.

Pei Zhi, playing along with Huo Jiayuan, asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

With so many people staring at Huo Jiaxi with probing eyes, Huo Jiaxi blushed with embarrassment.

Huo Jiaxi said with a hint of threat in her tone, "Jiayuan, you're surnamed Huo, are you really going to tear off all pretenses like this?"

"The Huo family?" Huo Jiayuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Don't be ridiculous. What right do I have to be a member of the Huo family?"

"My grandfather announced his will. Of the 34% of shares he owned, my father and I each received 4%. It was really just a pittance."

Huo Jiayuan said excitedly, "From now on, the Huo family belongs to you and your mother. What am I to you?"

Huo Jiaxi never expected that Huo Jiayuan would directly discuss the distribution of his will in front of so many people.

The people who had previously spoken up for Huo Jiaxi now looked at her with a strange expression.

Huo Jiayuan's friends also started whispering among themselves.

Isn't it said that Grandpa Huo dotes on his grandson Huo Jiayuan?

If you truly love your grandson, you wouldn't distribute your property like this, would you?

If you're talking about 34 percent of the shares, you should give 14 percent to Huo Jiayuan.

Or if we round it up to ten percent, no one would be so surprised.

"So, don't ask me why Pei Zhi can't cooperate with the Huo family. The shares they offer aren't enough for me to ask Pei Zhi for help. Do you understand?"

Huo Jiaxi looked everyone over and chuckled, "Brother, you've really misunderstood. Grandpa made the distribution this way because he was worried about you."

"Even if we get the majority of the shares, we're all family if you ever need anything in the future. How could we not help you?"

That's what they say, but even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

Huo Jiayuan and Huo Jiaxi were not born of the same father. The only true principle is to keep everything in your own hands.

Huo Jiayuan, however, showed no gratitude whatsoever. "Don't worry, even if I starve to death inside, I will never go home and beg you for help."

Huo Jiayuan doesn't need to think about it; if he really falls on hard times in the future, he'll have to beg Huo Jiaxi for help.

I have no idea how Huo Jiaxi will ridicule me.

If that were the case, Huo Jiayuan, who values ​​his reputation, would rather be dead.

Huo Jiaxi was put in an awkward position by Huo Jiayuan's words.

Pei Zhi said, "Jiaqian, regarding the cooperation, you're still young, so just have President Huo contact me directly by phone."

"Also, tell the old man not to pressure Jia Yuan anymore. What does he know about business?"

Pei Zhi said in a tone that contained a warning: "I have no objection to the arrangements in Old Master Huo's will."

"Of course, you'd better behave yourselves and not give me any objections."

Huo Jiaxi seemed a little confused. "Why don't I understand what President Pei is saying?"

"Grandpa arranged the will, and my mother and I can't interfere, can we? On the day Grandpa announced the will, wasn't President Pei there too?"

“Yes.” Pei Zhi nodded. “So, since the old man is still alive, do you think I have any way to get him to change his will?”

Pei Zhi's gaze was too aggressive, and Huo Jiaxi felt a chill run down her spine.

Huo Jiaxi backed down and said, "If you don't want to go home for dinner, then don't go back. I'll call someone to pick me up and won't disturb your gathering."

No one paid any attention to Huo Jiaxi, and she went inside the cruise ship.

After Huo Jiayuan's friends watched Huo Jiaqian leave, they looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Jiayuan, we really didn't know... about your family..."

No one expected that Mr. Huo would publish his will, and that the contents of the will would be so biased.

"Sorry about that, I was defending you."

Huo Jiayuan's friends are all very generous. Knowing that they had just made a mistake, they immediately apologized.

Huo Jiayuan wasn't one to hold grudges; everyone was unaware of the inside story.

After listening to Huo Jiaxi's words, it's no problem for her to offer him some advice.

"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."

What was supposed to be a joyous gathering became somewhat awkward for everyone in the second half after Huo Jiayuan brought up his will.

No one dared to speak to Huo Jiayuan anymore, not because they looked down on him.

What right do they have to look down on Huo Jiayuan? No matter what, Huo Jiayuan is still Pei Zhi's husband.

Everyone was just worried that Huo Jiayuan was in a bad mood, and that if they said something wrong, it would make Huo Jiayuan even more unhappy.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make, so everyone lowered their voices.

The party was originally scheduled to last until 7 or 8 pm, but Huo Jiayuan was not very interested, so Pei Zhi ended the party early.
