"Haha, that's true. As long as I have something to talk about with my wife in the future, that's enough." Old Master Huo smiled and gradually gained strength with his hand holding the cane.
Finally, the topic was introduced. Huo Yuli just wanted to sneer.
Old Man Gu just fell down. Grandpa had already come to visit him, and brought him again today. It’s obvious what he was thinking.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Huo Yuli and asked, "Xiao Huo, do you have a girlfriend now?"
"No!" Mr. Huo couldn't wait to answer for Huo Yuli, "He is usually busy with work, so he doesn't have time to date a girlfriend."
Old Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Don't think that an old woman like me doesn't understand. I heard that Mr. Huo is pursuing a female employee of the company."
"Ahem, it's just a misunderstanding."
Mr. Huo racked his brains to explain, "The Huo family has recently developed a new project. It is inevitable that they will have more exchanges when they cooperate. Isn't this misunderstood?"
"It's a misunderstanding, that's good." Mrs. Gu chuckled, "I hope my precious granddaughter will marry an upright and loyal man."
Mrs. Gu's words were actually very impolite, but Mr. Huo was thinking that it was indeed Huo Yuli who provoked others even though he knew that he was engaged, so he couldn't talk back even if Mrs. Gu mocked him.
"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the character of our Yu Li."
"Haha, look at what you said, is it enough to rely on the guarantee of one's own people for matters like character?"
Huo Yuli was very unhappy to hear the sarcastic tone of Mrs. Gu.
"Mrs. Gu, it sounds like you are not very satisfied with me."
Before finding Liu Jin, Mrs. Gu was indeed very satisfied with Huo Yuli. He was a young talent with great ability, and he managed the company in an orderly manner. He was many times better than those second-generation rich people out there.
But after finding Liu Huanyi, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt that no matter how good a boy was, he was not worthy of Liu Huanyi, especially after hearing that Huo Yuli had an affair with a female employee in the company.
"If you want to be with my granddaughter, you must keep yourself clean, otherwise I won't accept it."
"That's great. I don't want to accept this engagement either." Huo Yuli stood up. "Since both parties are not satisfied with this engagement, why not cancel it?"
Before Mrs. Gu expressed her opinion, Mr. Huo raised his objection.
"No! Absolutely not! This engagement cannot be annulled unless I die."
If people knew that the engagement that the Huo family had adhered to for decades was abandoned because Huo Yuli pursued a female employee, then the reputation of both the Huo family and the Huo clan would be ruined.
It doesn't matter that he is old, but Huo Yuli is still working hard in the business world. He doesn't know how fatal a notoriety is to a businessman.
"I think the engagement can go ahead. Yu Li will fire that employee in a few days, so we might as well set a date for the wedding sooner."
Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Old Huo, you should discuss it with your grandson. I think he doesn't seem to be very willing."
Huo Yuli really didn't want to, so he planned to leave directly.
"Mrs. Gu, we can't reach a consensus on the engagement, so let's talk about it later. I'm leaving first, Grandpa, are you leaving?"
Mr. Huo wanted to save his dignity and beg Mrs. Gu for help, but Huo Yuli was about to leave.
"You're not leaving? Then I'll leave first."
Huo Yuli left on his own, and Mr. Huo yelled angrily: "Wait for me!"
He smiled at Mrs. Gu and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you next time."
Old Madam Gu sneered, "Old Huo, I think you should discipline your grandson. He has such a bad temper towards the elderly!"
"I'll go back and teach him a lesson."
On the way back to the Huo family mansion, Huo Yuli and Old Man Huo sat on each side, and neither of them paid any attention to each other.
In the end, Mr. Huo couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first: "Are you going to piss me off to death?"
Huo Yuli frowned, "Grandpa, when did I make you angry?"
"Aren't you mad at me yet? You said that to Old Madam Gu in front of me. Where can I put my old face?"
Old Master Huo got angry whenever he thought about it. They were old friends of several decades, and his grandson was so rude that he wanted to cancel the engagement. Old Master Huo didn't know how to apologize to them.
"Grandpa, why do you always talk about engagements, but never consider who I like?"
This was the first time Huo Yuli spoke seriously to Old Master Huo.
"Is liking someone important? Being a good match is the most important thing." Mr. Huo also took out a serious tone that was rare in his usual days, "You are just impulsive now and like that girl, but when you need help with your business, will your liking be of any use?"
Huo Yuli looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Mr. Huo thought he was going to give up, he suddenly heard him say, "Grandpa, don't treat my marriage as a transaction."
"This is not a deal," said Mr. Huo in a deep voice, "This is the rule of this world. Grandpa also hopes that you can live with the one you love until old age, but you are the heir of the Huo family, and you have to shoulder the honor and rise and fall of the Huo family."
This is a conversation that is doomed to end in failure.
Liu Huanyi called Huo Yuli for no other reason than to ask him about the progress of the VR project.
Although they were just talking about work, Liu Huanyi could tell that he was very happy. He kept talking and telling her what had happened during this period.
"I have already checked on Lin Mu Ze. His family's influence is all overseas. He is the only one in China. His whole family immigrated, and they only returned to China with a large sum of money in the past two years for unknown reasons."
"Unknown reason?" Liu Huanyi thought these four words were very strange. "There must be a reason for doing anything. Is he trying to fight us?"
"Yes, I was also very curious, so I asked someone to investigate further. But this person's whereabouts are strange, and it is almost impossible to trace his personal tracks. The only few times he appeared in public were when he just returned to China."
The strangest thing is that he still hasn't found Lin Muzhe's home address.
After Huo Shu reported Lin Mu Ze's information to him, he said in surprise: "Huh? This Lin Mu Ze went to the same kindergarten as you when he was a child."
"Really?" Huo Yuli tried to recall, but there was no such person as Lin Muzhe in his memory.
What's more, they are two years apart in age, so even if they are in the same kindergarten, they may not be in the same class.
So this is just a coincidence at best.
"Is there any news about Lin Mu Ze? Check their family."
"Gone. The whole family immigrated, even the dog was taken away."
After the last breakdown of the talks, neither Lin Muzhe nor Future Technology appeared in front of Huo Yuli. It was so quiet that it seemed as if these two names appeared and disappeared out of thin air.
Xing Zhao thought that he could continue to develop the VR project this time, but he saw a fatal piece of news: "Future Technology will make VR technology public."
