"Don't pretend with me. I know people among the shareholders of the Pei family company."

"If you still don't admit it, then why don't we just check whether you actually own any shares in the Pei family?"

Huo Jiayuan glanced around the ward and then he understood.

So, they called him here just to get their hands on the shares under his name?

What he meant by "gathering some money" was that he should sell the shares Pei Zhi had given him.

"Yes, she gave me shares."

At this point, Huo Jiayuan was too lazy to argue anymore.

"But if I sell it, have you ever thought about what kind of situation I would be in?"

"Also, why would she give me shares when everything was fine?"

With red eyes, Huo Jiayuan said, "It's because I met Pei Zhi's mistress who was heavily pregnant, and Pei Zhi gave it to me to comfort me."

“You only see that I have so many shares, but you don’t know how much I have suffered.”

Mr. Huo said anxiously, "How could this be? Pei Zhi doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Mr. Huo angrily said, "You've only been married for less than six months, how could she do such a thing?"

Grandpa Huo tapped his cane on the ground, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Pei Zhi actually transferred the shares to your name, so they are yours now."

Old Master Huo said righteously, "Our Huo family is in trouble now, so you should take out your resources and help the Huo family get through this difficult time first!"

Huo Jiayuan snorted coldly, "Grandpa, do I really look like a fool?"

"When you divided the property, you took a few scraps to appease my father and me, and now you're asking me for money to cover your losses?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible, don't even think about it."

"If you really want me to raise money, I'll just return everything the Huo family gave me, and I won't take a single penny with me, but I won't take a single cent of what Pei Zhi gave me."

Mr. Huo also spoke up for Huo Jiayuan, "Yes, Dad, didn't you give me four percent of Jiayuan's shares back then?"

“Jiayuan and I don’t want these shares anymore. You can sell them and use the proceeds to fill this hole.”

"No way." The old man refused without even thinking. "How can the shares of the Huo family company be sold off so easily?"

Huo Jiayuan sneered, "The Huo family's shares can't be sold, but the Pei family's shares can?"

Huo Jiaxi thought for a moment before saying, "Brother, no matter what, you have the blood of the Huo family flowing in your veins."

"You will only prosper if the Huo family prospers. You sold your shares in the Pei family and helped the Huo family through a difficult time. Mom and I will remember your kindness."

"You said it yourself, Pei Zhi is keeping a man outside. If she treats you badly in the future, the Huo family can still support you."

Huo Jiaxi said excitedly, "If the Huo family falls, Pei Zhi will really be able to bully you openly and honestly."

Grandpa Huo nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, your sister is right. No matter what, we are family."

In the past, Huo Jiayuan would have really fallen for this.

Now, Huo Jiayuan can truly be described as heartless.

"A family?"

"When you used me to force Pei Zhi to give you money, did you never think that we were family?"

"Pei Zhi sold off a lot of assets to pay this money. Why didn't you think of taking a step back?"

"Now that we're facing trouble at home, you're saying we're family?"

"Why didn't you say we're family when dividing the property?"

After Huo Jiayuan finished his accusations, he looked at Old Master Huo.

"Grandpa, I always thought you were the best person in the world to me, but how did you treat me when it came time to divide the inheritance?"

Huo Jiayuan patted his chest and said, "I've already done more than enough by returning what I got from the Huo family. Don't even think about anything else."

Huo Jiayuan really didn't understand. Did he really look like a fool?

He was willing to return everything he had received from the Huo family, but they still weren't satisfied and set their sights on the shares Pei Zhi had given him.

Huo Jiayuan thought that, based on what he said, they would sympathize with Pei Zhi and comfort him.

As a result, no one worried about him; in fact, they even tried to take advantage of this to manipulate him.

Grandpa Huo sighed, "Jiayuan, I never expected that you would hold a grudge against me."

"Indeed, Grandpa did not treat everyone equally in terms of property, but I did it all for the good of the Huo family."

“You married Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi is a cunning and scheming person. If she really gives you too much property, it will eventually end up in Pei Zhi’s hands.”

Old Master Huo said earnestly, "I'm doing all this for the Huo family, and for you."

"After all, you have the surname Huo, so we are truly one family."

Huo Li also said, "Jiayuan, I am still your aunt. Are you going to watch our Huo family go bankrupt?"

“Brother, the Huo family is where it is today because of Grandpa’s hard work. You helped us this time, and Mom and I will remember you.”

Hearing this, Mr. Huo was also slightly moved.

Mr. Huo reached out and tugged at Huo Jiayuan's sleeve.

Huo Jiayuan clenched his fists tightly, afraid that he would lose control and vomit.

When dividing the property, why didn't they say that they were a family?

When they used him to manipulate Pei Zhi, did they never consider that they were family?

Did they ever consider whether he and Pei Zhi could still continue their marriage after they used him to threaten Pei Zhi?

Now that the Huo family is in trouble, they keep saying they're one family?

Huo Jiayuan's sarcastic words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly changed his mind.

No matter how much you talk to these shameless people, they won't listen; it's just a waste of breath.

"Okay." Huo Jiayuan seemed to have suffered a great injustice.

"I'll help you this once and for the last time," Huo Jiayuan said with restraint. "I'll sell the shares Pei Zhi gave me, but there's nothing else I can do."

Grandpa Huo nodded in satisfaction, "That's a good grandson of mine."

Huo Li nodded excitedly, calculating, "The Pei family has a wide industrial chain and their shares are valuable. If we sell 4% normally, we can get at least 7 or 8 billion."

"Anyway, the money is already in a bank loan, so we can sell it slowly. Your aunt will help you find people to help you."

Huo Jiayuan said dejectedly, "Whatever, I'm tired, I'm going back first."

Huo Jiaxi wanted to say something, but Huo Li shook his head at her.

"Jiayuan, you can go back and rest. If someone wants to buy from me, I'll contact you to come and make the deal."

Huo Jiayuan nodded, got up and left, and his father chased after him.

After leaving the ward, Mr. Huo quickened his pace and walked up to Huo Jiayuan.

"You were just in the hospital room saying you wanted to sell shares, is that true?"

Looking at his father, Huo Jiayuan's expression was somewhat dejected as he said, "Really."
