Huo Zhanhe's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
"It seems that neither taking back the subsidiary nor dismissing you will make any difference to you!" Huo Wenyuan looked at him coldly. "Then you don't need to come to the company anymore! Distribute the projects you have to the Huo family's children!"
"Zhixing, make proper arrangements for this matter. The person who takes over must be of good character and there can be no more mistakes!"
"Yes, I know." Huo Zhixing smiled gently, already having made up his mind.
There are many people of the same generation in the family, and my cousins are all steady and trustworthy.
"As for that piece of land in the western suburbs," Huo Wenyuan thought for a moment, "Zhixing, you can take full responsibility for it, just make sure nothing goes wrong."
"good."
Huo Zhixing smiled faintly.
Last time, Huo Zhanhe was dismissed from his post at the board meeting with just a few words. This time, he was kicked out of the project with just a few more words.
This removed one obstacle for him, but even though Huo Zhanhe was gone, the Yao family was still there.
“Grandpa,” he whispered, “since Second Uncle isn’t involved anymore, then the Yao family…”
“The Yao family has always been our most capable partner.” Huo Wenyuan looked at him.
"Zhixing, I understand your thoughts." The old man's gaze was quite meaningful. "I didn't force you to marry Yao Manning, but you can't just focus on Jiang Can alone!"
"grandfather……"
"Alright, I'm tired." Huo Wenyuan waved his hand, stood up with his cane, and said, "I don't want to talk about this anymore."
“Work well with Manning at work.” He walked to the door, then turned back, his gaze deep. “Perhaps you’ll find that a woman like Jiang Can isn’t right for you!”
...
Over the weekend, Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing took their two mothers out for a trip.
It was the perfect time of year for crisp autumn air. The sky was a clear, deep blue, dotted with fluffy clouds. The sun shone warmly on the earth, and the sea shimmered with light, creating a breathtaking scene.
They originally wanted to go hiking, but under the strong insistence of both mothers, they ended up just wandering around the city.
Although the city center is quite large, it doesn't quite feel like a trip; it feels more like shopping.
Jiang Can rested her head against the car window, looking a little disappointed. Huo Zhixing noticed her slightly dejected expression, turned her shoulder, and let her lean against him.
"The windows are cold and hard, it's uncomfortable," he muttered.
Jiang Can looked up and smiled at him.
Just then, bursts of laughter and cheerful chatter came from the front row.
"I'll put them down in a bit, and then I'll take you to a nice place!" Huo Zhixing chuckled softly in her ear.
"That wouldn't be good," Jiang Can shook her head. "We came out with them today, what would it look like if we left first!"
"But……"
“If you’re going to be filial, you have to be filial to the end,” Jiang Can said earnestly. “It would be nice to accompany the two elders shopping; they might even buy us something nice!”
"Buying nice things?" Huo Zhixing laughed. "How come I never realized you were such a money-grubber?"
"You'll see later!" Jiang Can smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I'm not just a money-grubber, I'm a miser! I think the most adorable thing in the world is my money!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhixing's eyes widened immediately. "What about me?"
"You..." Jiang Can stuck out her tongue, looking charming and unable to answer.
Huo Zhixing felt a tickle in his heart, and involuntarily moved closer to her, his voice hoarse as he asked in her ear, "Who's cuter, me or money?"
Jiang Can smiled but remained silent.
An ambiguous atmosphere began to heat up between the two... Jiang Can's face flushed, and she leaned back slightly, watching Huo Zhixing's strong chest press against her...
"Tell me quickly!" Huo Zhixing's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Which one is cuter?"
Before he could get a reply, Fu Xiuyu slapped him hard on the head again!
"What's wrong with you? Asking such a stupid question! Of course, money is more attractive!"
Huo Zhixing: "..."
Fang Han drove steadily, and saw his young master's utterly hopeless expression in the rearview mirror.
It seems that ever since Miss Jiang learned of his identity, the young master has often had this expression.
Indeed, every time the two of them tried to be intimate, there were always various interruptions, either a sudden stop or Fu Xiuyu's Iron Palm...
Fang Han couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it, and then he stomped his foot hard, causing the car to lurch violently again!
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Fang Han exclaimed in shock. "Are the two ladies alright?"
Fu Xiuyu looked at him blankly. "Hey kid, didn't you used to be a really good driver? What happened to you?"
Fang Han kept laughing awkwardly.
The car door opened, and several people got out. Jiang Can suddenly realized that in front of him was an exquisite and grand villa, in a perfect location in the bustling city center, yet quiet and peaceful.
Fu Xiuyu and Yin Wenxi looked at the two of them with smiles.
Then Bai Jingyuan came out from the villa area to greet Huo Zhixing, and almost gave him a bear hug as soon as he saw him.
"Third Brother!"
"Welcome, Third Brother and Sister-in-law, to our Xi Garden!" Bai Jingyuan, unusually dressed in a suit and tie, was quite serious. "From now on, this will be your home!"
Jiang Can was stunned and looked at Yin Wenxi in confusion, "Mom, what is this...?"
"Sister-in-law, these are gifts from your two aunts!" Bai Jingyuan said with a grin.
“Yes, Can Can,” Yin Wenxi held her hand and looked at her with loving eyes, “Your aunt and I have discussed it and we think that you two should have your own space.”
“Zhuxingyuan is not a good place,” Fu Xiuyu continued. “After all, you haven’t officially married into the Huo family yet, and the Huo family has too many rules, it’s practically torture. I’m worried you won’t be able to adapt to it.”
"That's why we chose this place! Xiyuan is a high-end villa area developed by the Bai family, so the facilities are absolutely top-notch!"
“The software is fine too!” Bai Jingyuan stepped between the two of them. “From now on, I’ll be your personal butler. Just come to me if you need anything!”
Jiang Can chuckled, and Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder, giving Bai Jingyuan a disdainful look.
"Third Brother, don't look down on me! I'm doing a very proper job now!"
Huo Zhixing smiled and looked at his mother with approval.
My mom has been back in Yangcheng for so long, and we argue every day. But this is the only thing that he's done to his liking!
I just don't know if Jiang Can would be willing...
Huo Zhixing looked at Jiang Can with some concern. Her face was a little red, her eyes were lowered, and her little hands were twisting the hem of her clothes.
He knew she was nervous.
Jiang Can is a conservative person and might not accept it.
But she already belongs to him!
"Can Can," Huo Zhixing looked at her, a slight ripple in his heart, "Are you willing to start a new life with me?"
