A thought flashed through my mind, and I looked up in surprise.

"Isn't Gong Che's uncle your uncle?"

The Huo family is one of the most talked-about wealthy families, but no one mentions that Huo Xiao married several wives...

Huo Jingxi chuckled.

"When the Gong family instigated my eldest brother to break with my Huo family, they shut me, my second brother, and the old man out."

"These snobbish bastards, if the Huo family were as hopeless as the Su family, they would have treated the Huo family like dirt long ago!"

He came to see Lu Yi today not simply to tell him about Du Guanglong.

She felt so suffocated, and apart from Lu Yi, she couldn't find anyone else to relieve her depression.

He would rather die than go.

But the old man was so breathless from talking that we had to persuade him.

They even compared him to Lu Yi, saying that without the protection of both clans, he would just drift from one family to another like Lu Yi.

"Do you have Lu Yi's brilliant mind?"

"If I'm gone, do you think you can carry the Huo family's banner on your own?"

"No matter how much of a scoundrel your uncle is, you're still blood relatives, you're all from the same lineage. He wouldn't possibly devour the Huo family entirely..."

Thinking of these PUA-style moral blackmail phrases, Huo Jingxi scratched his ear, looking annoyed.

Lu Yi raised his elbow and nudged him.

"Alright, I'll go with you. Coco has been getting extra nutrition lately, and I don't know whose advice Mr. Gu took, but he insisted on postponing the surgery."

Speaking of this, Lu Yi also felt uneasy.

However, in terms of guardianship, Gu Yan's opinion is indeed much more important than that of her fiancé.
