Chapter 265 Backfire
Huo Tingzhou was taken back to Ji's home.
After being settled, the eldest son of the Ji family went to find Old Lady Ji.
"Mom, now that Tingzhou's affairs have been arranged, let him live in the central army's room."
Old Mrs. Ji sat on a recliner, swaying from side to side, with her eyes half closed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Okay, got it."
Boss Ji was a little hesitant and stammered.
Old Mrs. Ji opened her eyes, and there was displeasure in her sharp eyes.
"Ask whatever you want to ask, or what does your wife want to ask?"
Ji Laoda was a little embarrassed, "Mom, they are just worried...whether Tingzhou will live here forever."
Old Lady Ji's eyes moved slightly, "Can't you accommodate Tingzhou?"
"No, no, after all, he is..."
"Go out."
Boss Ji didn't get a reply, so he had to leave.
Old Mrs. Ji looked at his back.
If they worked a little harder, I wouldn't have to worry about them like this.
Such an obvious thing was right in front of them, but they still didn't understand it.
Tingzhou is a member of the Huo family. Even if Huiying is dead, he is still a member of the Huo family.
But today, I didn’t expect Shen Qingran to jump out in the middle of the process.
However, Tingzhou's current hatred for the Huo family is also a chance for her Ji family to survive.
She had heard about what Huo Jianyuan was planning to do in private.
If Tingzhou was in charge of all these matters, what would we do if Huo Jianyuan found out?
Old Mrs. Ji suddenly smiled.
A bit looking forward to it.
——
The fire was investigated thoroughly within a few days.
It was clearly suicide, with no signs of homicide.
The people of the Ji family took back Ji Huiying's body.
However, the Ji family did not plan to bury her in the Ji family's ancestral tomb.
They are afraid that people who commit suicide will affect the fortune of their family.
So it was decided to bury her in a side grave, just like Ji Huifan was before.
Huo Tingzhou didn't know what was going on. He only knew that the people of the Ji family were very loyal and were willing to help his mother hold a funeral.
Old Mrs. Ji pinched her brows tiredly, "Tingzhou, your mother's funeral, Tingxiao..."
There was a trace of struggle in Huo Tingzhou's eyes. "No need to notify them. My mother doesn't want to see them."
Old Lady Ji sighed and said, "Then it's up to you to decide."
As for the Huo family, Old Lady Huo has been paying attention to this matter. It doesn't matter whether Jianyuan goes to the funeral or not, but if Tingxiao doesn't go, he will probably be criticized in the future.
The date of the funeral was known, but no one came to inform Huo Tingxiao.
There was a hint of heaviness in Mrs. Huo's eyes.
It seems that Tingzhou really hates Tingxiao.
He didn't even plan to inform Ting Xiao about this matter.
Old Mrs. Huo supported her head weakly.
When Shen Qingran and Huo Tingxiao came back, they saw the old lady looking very worried.
"grandmother?"
Old Mrs. Huo raised her head and smiled, "Are you back?"
"Um."
Shen Qingran looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but frowned, "Grandma, why don't you eat?"
Grandma Qin quickly spoke up, "The old lady is worried. I heard that the funeral is about to be held, but they don't seem to plan to call him Young Master Ting Xiao."
Shen Qingran was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Mrs. Huo's worries.
"Grandma, don't worry, it's not that difficult."
Mrs. Huo looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingran: "Grandma, Ting Xiao is going to see his mother off, no one can stop him, not even Huo Tingzhou."
"On that day, just let Ting Xiao go."
Old Mrs. Huo suddenly realized, yes, why should we notify?
As long as the person arrives and sends the gift, the other details are not a big deal.
Huo Tingxiao nodded and said, "Grandma, I will go there on time that day."
He didn't exist for any reason, but Ji Huiying passed away and he should go and see her off.
When a person dies, his debts are cleared, after all, that person was the one who gave him his life.
Soon the day of the funeral arrived.
Shen Qingran watched Huo Tingxiao change into a solemn black outfit.
Huo Tingxiao wore black and white clothes these days. Although he didn't say it, he was still observing mourning with his actions.
He doesn't need anyone else to know this.
Although Shen Qingran had no feelings for Ji Huiying, she avoided wearing bright colors and tried to choose black, white and gray.
"You take this with you."
Huo Tingxiao looked at what Shen Qingran had prepared, and some emotion flashed in his eyes.
He turned around and hugged her.
"Come back at noon."
Shen Qingran nodded. She asked her master to get it from a nearby master.
She did it not for Ji Huiying, but for Huo Tingxiao.
Here, based on previous information, Huo Tingxiao quickly arrived at the cemetery where Ji Huiying was buried.
The people from the Ji family were also stunned when they saw him.
Huo Tingzhou stood in front, holding the urn in both hands.
The two brothers just stared at each other quietly.
Ji Lao Er had just come out of the hospital not long ago, "What are you doing here!"
Huo Tingxiao had no expression on his face. He calmly walked through the crowd to the front and placed the thing in his hand on the urn.
Huo Tingzhou stretched out his hand and wanted to throw it.
"This is what I prayed for from Master Ci'en. May she be reborn into a good family in her next life."
Huo Tingzhou's hand froze.
Looking at the Buddhist beads on it, I finally didn’t throw them away.
Old Lady Ji looked at her and said, "You do have some heart, but it's a pity that your mother may not like it or not."
"I heard that your wife asked for this?"
When Huo Tingzhou heard this, he picked up the Buddhist beads with one hand and threw them on the ground.
The scattered Buddhist beads rolled all over the ground.
"Huo Tingxiao, you know that mom hates her the most, do you want her to die?"
"What good intentions could that woman have?"
Huo Tingxiao looked at the beads scattered on the ground, bent down and picked them up one by one.
Looking at Huo Tingzhou, he finally suppressed all his anger.
He didn't want to beat him at this time.
He knelt on his knees in front of Ji Huiying's urn and kowtowed.
Everyone watched this scene without saying a word.
Huo Tingxiao stood up, patted his knees, and just looked at Old Lady Ji quietly.
"Grandma, I hope my mom won't meet a mother like you in her next life."
Old Mrs. Ji trembled all over and took two steps back.
That look was so calm that it was devoid of any emotion, yet it made people feel cold.
"Ting Xiao, grandma..."
Huo Tingxiao didn't want to listen to what they said. He turned his head and seemed to look into the air.
Turned around and left.
"What kind of attitude is this!"
Ji Lao Er covered the wound with his hands in frustration, "Unfilial thing."
Huo Tingzhou looked at Huo Tingxiao's back, holding back the sourness in his nose, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be successful, better than all of them."
Old Mrs. Ji clenched her fists. This eldest grandson was just too smart and too insightful.
Those eyes made people unconsciously afraid.
"Tingzhou, since you want to do something to show your mother, then you can follow your grandmother to manage the Ji family's business."
Huo Tingzhou gritted his teeth and nodded.
——
Ji Huiying's incident made Huo Tingxiao and Huo Tingzhou mortal enemies.
The father and son also became enemies.
After just a few days, the Ji family began to openly bring Huo Tingzhou to various business banquets.
Huo Jianyuan received the message, looked at the information one by one, and pinched his brows.
"Commander, these are the things we are focusing on the Ji family. If Comrade Huo gets involved, we..."
"Do you need a reminder?"
Huo Jianyuan shook his head, "No need."
If Huo Tingzhou were forcibly pulled out at this time, it might alert the enemy.
It is obvious that the Ji family is now treating Tingzhou as a card.
Huo Jianyuan picked up the information and said, "Send me back to the old house."
At this time, Shen Qingran and Huo Tingxiao were preparing to return to Ning City.
Packing up things.
"Grandma, why don't you come back with us?"
Old Mrs. Huo shook her head.
"I'm not going back. You guys go back. That's right. The next time I see you, you have to have good news!"
Shen Qingran blushed immediately.
At this moment, Huo Jianyuan walked in from outside the door.
"What good news?"
Old Mrs. Huo laughed. "You'll know when the time comes. By the way, what are you doing here now?"
Huo Jianyuan did not treat Shen Qingran as an outsider.
"It's like this. The Ji family recently asked Tingzhou to participate in these things."
Old Mrs. Huo understood business. After looking at the information given by Huo Jianyuan, she frowned.
"These things, do they want Huo Tingzhou to take the blame?"
Old Mrs. Huo's expression suddenly turned ugly. The Ji family really had a good plan.
If this goes on, as long as Tingzhou continues to advance, if something happens in the future, all the responsibility can be put on him, and their Ji family can get away.
It’s really easy to calculate.
"Mom, what should we do now?"
Mrs. Huo pondered and rubbed her fingers for a long time. "Doing business is very simple. Just make him give up when he sees difficulties."
"The Ji family had planned to let him take the brunt from the beginning, so they must let him take on the worst business. Among the entire Ji family's business module, this part has had more problems before. They should let him get in touch with this first."
“By the way, Ranran, this is the part you wanted to do before.
Shen Qingran took a look and found that it was indeed the beauty department.
"Why would the Ji family let him do this?"
Old Madam Huo sneered, "These things are easier to make money in Yangcheng and Pengcheng now. Unfortunately, the two sons of the Ji family are not cut out for this. So they did a terrible job and lost a lot of money."
"If you want Tingzhou to accept it, you just have some plan."
Old Mrs. Huo vaguely guessed it.
If something really happens, they want the Huo family to fill the vacancy.
Shen Qingran nodded, "Grandma, do you want me to force him out directly?"
Old Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Tingzhou doesn't have the ability to compete with you. It's easy for you to get him out."
"The Ji family has a lot of business, and most of it was helped by the Huo family before. Now that it has fallen from grace, they will definitely find a way. The one that Tingzhou contacted is just to test the attitude of our Huo family."
"Ranran, our goal is to make the Ji family turn against themselves."
Shen Qingran pondered over the old lady's words, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
