Chapter 257: The Villain's Tool Aunt (3)

Old Mrs. Huo scolded Huo Shichu, but finally she was so angry that she asked the servant to find her a new cell phone and started calling Huo Shichu. She wanted to scold her in person, but after all, Huo Shichu couldn't hear her if she scolded her behind her back.

Huo Shichu was checking her property in the hotel when she heard her cell phone ringing. It was her mother calling. She knew why she was calling her without hesitation. Huo Shichu refused the call and hung up every time her mother called.

Mother Huo was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head. She kept scolding Huo Shichu. However, no matter how harshly she scolded, Huo Shichu didn't know, so only Mother Huo was angry.

Seeing that Huo Zheng couldn't get through to his mother on the phone, he thought for a moment and said hesitantly as if casually: "How could my aunt run away from home at this critical moment? How will outsiders view our family? Also, if she leaves like this, will others take advantage of the situation to rob her? After all, my aunt is so innocent, if others want to cheat her, they will definitely succeed. Losing money is a small matter, but I'm afraid that others will cheat her feelings..."

He spoke with deep worry, as if he was really worried about his aunt. This made Huo's mother even angrier. Of course, she was not worried that her daughter would be cheated of her feelings, but that she was afraid that she would be cheated of all her property.

So she immediately called her financial manager and had him suspend Huo Shichu's card, then cursed him viciously, "See how long she can stay out without any money? I want her to come back dejected and beg me on her knees!"

When Huo Zheng heard what his mother said, his eyes flickered. Since his aunt was so selfish and unwilling to contribute anything to the company, then he should not use the family property.

There is a big age gap between Huo Zheng's father and Huo Shichu, and because Huo Shichu was not liked by Huo's mother, he went to boarding school at a young age. He spent no more than three months at home a year and had no time to keep in touch with his family, so Huo Zheng actually had no feelings for this aunt.

Huo Shichu soon received the news that her bank cards had been suspended. Not only that, but even her real estate, including houses and shops, were frozen by her mother, and she had no right to use them.

"You're pretty quick." Huo Shichu smiled indifferently. Since she had chosen to leave the Huo family, she would not be greedy for the Huo family's property. If Huo's mother wanted to take it back, she could do so.

She took out another very ordinary card, which was applied for by the original owner herself. Mother Huo didn't know about it at all, so she didn't stop using it.

She took out her cell phone to check and found that there was only more than 40,000 yuan in it. This was the reward the original owner received when she was invited by her classmates to participate in a dance performance in the theater when she was in college. As a grown-up lady, she went to do the dance performance, of course not for money, but just to exercise herself and for fun.

Fortunately, the original owner still wanted the card, otherwise she would have to sell her jewelry again.

Staying in a hotel is too expensive. She is no longer a rich lady and needs to be frugal. So Huo Shichu started looking for a house online.

On the other side, in a servant's room in the Huo family mansion, a middle-aged woman in her fifties secretly called Zhou Wenye: "Mr. Zhou, nothing big happened in the Huo family today, but the eldest daughter ran away from home. It seems that she had a big fight with Mrs. Huo."

"What are they fighting about?" Zhou Wen also keenly grasped the key point.

"It seemed to be about something like getting married or not. Old Madam Huo seemed to want the eldest daughter to marry someone, but the eldest daughter refused, so they had a quarrel and ran away from home." The maid replied, recalling the past.

"Marriage?" Zhou Wen also heard this and frowned, asking, "Is it an arranged marriage? After Mr. Huo left, the company was unstable, so Mrs. Huo wanted her daughter to marry someone?"

The maid laughed and said, "This... I am not well educated and don't understand..."

Zhou Wen also asked a few more questions, but the maid was unable to provide him with any useful information, so he could only remind her: "Be smart and find out more about the Huo family. The more information you have, the higher the cost. Don't let anyone find out."

The maid quickly agreed.

Zhou Wen also hung up the phone, then he started thinking with a serious face. He was a golden phoenix who graduated from a small mountain village. He was smart, cautious, and deep-minded. He joined the Huo Group right after graduation, starting as a junior assistant, and gradually walked into the center of power, becoming Mr. Huo's trusted general.

He knew all the members of the Huo family very well, and knew that the Huo family had an older daughter who was a few years younger than him. He came from a poor mountain village, where he could not even get enough food when he was a child, and he had to rely on social support and scholarships to go to school. He knew the importance of money very early, so he was particularly eager for fame and fortune. After joining the Huo Group, he worked hard to gain benefits, and finally caught the eye of Mr. Huo and became his confidant.

Originally, he wanted to use this relationship to get close to Miss Huo, and then win her heart step by step and marry her. This way, he could save twenty years of hard work, break away from his background, cross the class line, and successfully enter the upper class.

But before he could implement this plan, Mr. Huo died suddenly, catching him off guard and making all his previous plans go to waste. But he was not a man who would give up easily, so he took advantage of the death of Mr. Huo and the chaos in the Huo family and bribed the Huo family's servants to pass on a message to him, so that he could gain the upper hand when the internal forces of the company were reshuffled.

Sure enough, his move was not in vain. Now he knew that Mrs. Huo wanted Miss Huo to marry someone else, right?

Huo Shichu and his daughter were arguing in the living room. The maid worked in the backyard, so she didn't dare to get too close. Naturally, she didn't eavesdrop clearly on who Mrs. Huo wanted Huo Shichu to marry.

Zhou Wen therefore didn't know that he was the one chosen by Old Lady Huo to marry Huo Shichu.

However, although he did not know the news, his train of thought miraculously coincided with that of Old Lady Huo. Now the Huo family was old and young, and only Miss Huo was young and strong, suitable for joining the company. But she was a woman, and it would be very difficult for her to control the company - unless someone helped.

Thinking back to the reason why Mrs. Huo wanted her to marry, wasn't it because she wanted to find an ally to help the Huo family maintain their voice in the company? Then why can't I? He is Mr. Huo's confidant and has a lot of voice in the company. Can't he be Miss Huo's choice for marriage?

Zhou Wen also thought of this possibility. His breathing quickened and his heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his chest. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea made sense and was very likely.

He thought that the thing he had been planning for a long time was hopeless, but suddenly he had the opportunity to realize it, which was much better than what he had planned before. Isn't this what is meant by "there is light after darkness"?

Zhou Wen is also an ambitious person who loves to take shortcuts. When he thought of this possibility, he naturally couldn't wait to realize it.
