They came over for a meal and ended up talking about splitting up the family property.
Only at this moment did Huo Qingshu realize that he was in a bad situation.
"Second brother, I'm only doing this for Shen Yu's own good. I'm afraid he'll be deceived. In this big family, someone has to play the bad guy and be the good cop, right?"
Huo Qingshu immediately backed down.
He dared to speak those arrogantly in front of them because he heard that Huo Yishen disliked the Tang family and didn't recognize Tang Li as his daughter-in-law.
"My second uncle has been gone for over forty years, hasn't he?"
Huo Yishen looked at his elder brother.
The uncle nodded: "It's been forty-one years. Qingning got married at sixteen and is now forty-three."
That year, Huo Qingning was two years old. Her second uncle drove back from out of town at night to celebrate her birthday. He was driving while fatigued and had a car accident. He was taken to the hospital but could not be saved.
"It's been forty-one years. If my second uncle is watching from heaven, he should be able to rest in peace."
Huo Yishen beckoned to Huo Chenyu:
"Your uncle's sinecure at the Huo Group will be terminated starting today. Also, as for your aunt, Qiwen is now an adult, and it is his duty to support his parents. Your aunt's dividends will also end here."
The second grandfather had a son and a daughter, both of whom depended on the Huo family for survival.
This is cutting off their livelihood.
Huo Chenyu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a low voice:
"Dad, what about my aunt..."
"Everything is as usual on her end. The Huo family can bully anyone, but they will never bully a woman." Huo Yishen's words had barely finished when
The door to the private room was suddenly kicked open.
Huo Qingning, who hadn't left yet, stormed in aggressively and went straight to Huo Yishen:
"Second brother, this is not fair. That woman cheated on me with someone else, her reputation is ruined, and you still support her? Why? Her son is a year older than my Qingshu. Second brother, your spine is crooked all the way to the Pacific Ocean."
On what grounds?
Huo Yishen glared at her angrily:
"Because I have money, because of this family, I'm in charge."
"Because she left a legacy for Second Uncle's family, the Huo family should treat her and her son well. As for you parasites, you should have been wiped out long ago."
Huo Yishen stood up angrily.
Tang Yuan was absolutely right when he said that Huo Qingshu was indeed enraged. He was a womanizer and wanted to divorce his wife to marry a new lover, so he deliberately asked someone to get close to his wife.
Not only did he ruin someone's reputation, but he also refused to acknowledge his own son.
During the divorce, they were kicked out of the house with nothing, leaving the mother and son with nothing.
If it weren't for his deceased second uncle, Huo Yishen wouldn't have tolerated him to this day.
"Second brother, second brother, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Nephew's wife, your uncle was wrong. Your uncle apologizes to you. Your uncle shouldn't have said those outrageous things. Your uncle is sorry."
Huo Qingshu walked to Tang Li's side and admitted his mistake with astonishing speed.
Huo Chenyu and Wei Chaoyu simultaneously reached out to block him.
The two of them shielded Tang Li behind them.
Huo Yishen even said loudly:
"I'm making this clear today: as long as she's in the Huo family, anyone who dares to bully her in the slightest is going against me, Huo Yishen. And anyone who dares to bring those rumors into the Huo family can get out of here."
This father-in-law is really good at handling relationships.
Even if you don't like your daughter-in-law, you still have to protect the woman your son married.
Tang Li's eyes welled up with tears.
For a moment, she couldn't tell which one was the real Huo Yishen.
Could the mastermind behind that incident really be this discerning father-in-law standing before me?
The Huo family parted on bad terms at the meal.
Tang Li went to the hospital to see Zhao Wenxun, who was sitting on the hospital bed eating heartily. After asking, she learned that Shen Linfeng had been keeping her company for most of the day, causing her to pretend to be weak and not dare to eat more than a few bites of food.
However, she said she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and had booked a flight to Hong Kong for 7 pm tomorrow night.
I went with Shen Linfeng to attend a financial event.
"Are you crazy? You've only known each other for a few days! Aren't you afraid that Shen Linfeng will take you to Hong Kong and sell you off? You'll even have to count the money for him."
Zhao Wenxun raised the watch on his wrist and smiled:
"I've already given him the token of our love, who else would I go with if not him?"
Could it be?
Are you serious?
Tang Li frowned: "You don't actually want to marry a financial analyst and live a life where he's so busy he won't have time for romance, do you?"
Zhao Wenxun grinned mischievously:
"People always have to step out of their comfort zone and see how people outside their circle live. Life is short, and I'm tired of living a life of debauchery. I'll reward myself for these days of just getting by in this world in a different way."
If her carefree and unrestrained life is considered merely "filling in the numbers," then wouldn't everyone else be just barely surviving?
If you can't persuade them, just shut up.
Tang Li told Zhao Wenxun what had happened at the lunch party that day, and Zhao Wenxun thought about it for a moment:
"Everyone has two sides, one for outsiders and one for themselves. Some people are subject to scrutiny in broad daylight and left to be stared at in the dark abyss. All the clues I have so far point to your father-in-law."
From the moment Tang Li made up his mind to investigate what happened back then, Zhao Wenxun repeatedly reasoned and verified the results of his investigation.
There is only one conclusion.
"I advised you before, if your father-in-law really is the mastermind, then you and Huo Chenyu..."
She remarried to the son of her enemy; I fear her parents will not find peace even in the afterlife.
Zhao Wenxun didn't finish her sentence; she simply patted Tang Li's hand.
"But from your description, your father-in-law is quite adorable. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. The key is that you need to find the USB drive that Huo Chenyu took from the Zha family villa five years ago before anyone else."
