"I understand, grandpa. We know the importance of things and won't say anything careless!" Guo Jingzhu also quickly responded in a low voice.
Others followed suit, fearing that they would get into trouble if they were a step slower.
Seeing how they were so frightened that they dared not utter a word, Mr. Guo's expression softened a little, but he was still worried.
Stern warnings can stop people from speaking, but they cannot control their thoughts or stop gossip from spreading everywhere.
Who is Fok Ying-tung? Hong Kong Island is a place full of good and bad people. How many eyes are on these so-called "rich families"?
The fact that Liu Rumeng was married could not be concealed for long, just like the paper on the window, it would break sooner or later.
To completely solve this problem, the key lies in the mainland boy named Lin Huowang, and... the granddaughter Liu Rumeng's own ideas.
His mind was racing and his eyes were becoming deeper and deeper, like the sea.
We have to quickly "invite" Lin Huowang to the Guo family.
Of course, the method must be sophisticated and sufficient surface work must be done.
It just so happened that Mengmeng said today that Lin Huowang had arrived in Hong Kong Island, so I would be open and invite him to my home in my own name.
As long as someone arrives at the Guo family, even if it is a dragon, he is sure to make it coil; even if it is a tiger, it will have to lie down obediently!
"Give him more money... just knock him out." Mr. Guo used a little force to rub the lid of the pot with his fingers.
"He's a country boy who came from a poor place and has never seen true wealth. Giving him a few hundred thousand or even a million Hong Kong dollars would be enough for him to live comfortably in the mainland for the rest of his life."
If he had been sensible, taken the money, completely cut off ties with Meng Meng, and never showed up again, everyone would have lived in peace.
This is a "soft" approach, and it is the most humane thing we can do.
His wrinkled face revealed a complex expression, showing determination and determination, but also tiredness that could not be concealed.
"If he is greedy, or stubborn, and insists on pestering Rumeng, or if his price is too high..." Mr. Guo didn't say anything else.
But the sudden sharp light in his eyes and the control he possessed through experiencing many storms made Guo Zhiming, who was standing next to him, feel a chill on his back.
He knew his father's ability. In Hong Kong, a port city with a mix of good and bad people, it was not impossible to make a "guest" from the mainland who had no foundation and was unfamiliar with the road have an "accident" or disappear completely.
This was the "hard" approach he intended.
But the more important thing is Liu Rumeng. Mr. Guo frowned.
This granddaughter is gentle and considerate to her family, but deep down she is like her mother and has a stubborn streak.
Especially for Lin Huowang, it seems... there is still some affection between them.
This is troublesome.
Mengmeng must be willing and even happy to choose the Huo family. Only in this way can the marriage be successful, and only in this way can Lin Huowang's thoughts be completely cut off and future troubles be eliminated.
In addition to continuing to tell her about the dignity of the Huo family's young lady and her worry-free life, so that she can truly feel how much the Guo family values her and how many resources they give her, he also has to find a way... to make her completely disappointed in Lin Huowang, and preferably make her think that he is not good enough and look down on him from the bottom of her heart.
"Maybe I need to find an 'opportunity'." Mr. Guo thought to himself, and a vague plan slowly took shape.
When that kid named Lin comes... maybe we can "create" an opportunity?
For example, let him see the real prosperity and luxury of Hong Kong Island, as well as the strict hierarchy here, and let him feel that he cannot compare with it?
Or... let him accidentally reveal some "unbearable" things in front of Mengmeng that he can't show on the surface?
Countless calculations were running through his mind.
In order to climb up the high branch of the Huo family, this relationship must be "cut" cleanly. As soon as Lin Huowang set foot on Hong Kong Island, he had to solve the problem cleanly!
This is not only the foundation of the Guo family's future, but also the bottom line of the family's honor. There must be no mistakes!
As soon as Mr. Guo made this stern warning and arrangement, the joy in the living room disappeared, leaving only an indescribable solemnity. The younger generation was frightened and uneasy. They wanted the huge benefits in their hearts, but they had to hold it in and dared not express it. The feeling was very complicated.
Everyone understood each other tacitly and stopped talking about Liu Rumeng and the Huo family, and even their eye contact decreased.
Guo Linxian came over with a cup of warm ginseng tea and said softly, "Dad, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest for a while. These things can't be rushed. Get enough rest and think about it carefully tomorrow morning."
Like I said before, Lin Huowang might be a good young man in the mainland, but when he comes to Hong Kong Island and sees the prosperity and modernization here, he will definitely be greatly shocked..."
She carefully watched her father's expression, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Mr. Guo did feel a little tired. The ecstasy just now had passed, and what remained was the tiring long-term considerations and a little bit of vague worry.
He nodded, took the ginseng tea and took a sip, then waved his hand and asked everyone to leave: "Go and have a rest, remember my words!"
The younger generations stood up and bowed as if they had been pardoned, then tiptoed out of the living room, not daring to make any noise.
Guo Jingting, Guo Jingzhu and others hurried back to their rooms, still feeling the fear from before, but they also engraved the old man's order more firmly - Cousin Mengmeng's past, which no one knew about, was a taboo that must not be touched!
That is the only stumbling block on the road to becoming the Young Lady of the Huo Family. We must not let it hinder our good fortune!
With the help of his daughter Guo Linxian, Mr. Guo slowly stood up and walked towards the study.
He needed a quieter place to carefully think about each step.
Guo Zhiming followed silently. He knew that his father must have more important plans in mind and wanted to explain them to him, the current head of the Guo family.
