The news that Huo Chen fought against five men alone spread quickly. Although the Huo family tried hard to suppress the heat and news, they still couldn't resist the speed of netizens' gossip.
Because of this, the Huo Group's stock price fell a lot.
Huo Chen was punished by the old man of the Huo family and was scolded terribly.
But when Huo Chen regained consciousness, he insisted that he was ambushed by someone, but when Mr. Huo questioned him, he changed his words and remained silent.
Because he knew that this matter was caused by him, and if Huo Xiao knew that he wanted to deal with his beloved, he would definitely be in trouble.
He had already lost his eligibility to compete for the heir because of this scandal. If Huo Xiao knew about it, not only would he lose his eligibility to compete for the heir, he would probably even lose the chance to stay in the Huo family. So he could only keep this matter to himself and settle the score with Yan Xi in private.
But he was worried that the truth would be exposed and he would be caught off guard, so that night he hurriedly found his elder brother Huo Jie and told him about Huo Xiao and Yan Xi.
"Brother, you must avenge me. As long as you avenge me, I will do anything you ask me to do!"
Huo Chen looked at the man in front of him who looked most like their father, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Huo Jie, smoking a cigar, looked at Huo Chen, who was furious but holding back. He extinguished the cigar in his hand and puffed out a cloud of smoke, saying, "Don't worry, I will avenge you. After all, you are my brother. How could I allow an outsider to bully my brother?"
As he spoke, Huo Jie stood up and patted Huo Chen's shoulder, but after glancing at the ambiguous traces on his body, he quickly withdrew his hand, as if he had touched something dirty, and wiped it on his body calmly.
Huo Chen was not blind, so he naturally saw his actions. His face twisted slightly for a moment, but he lowered his head and spoke in a very gentle and happy voice, "Thank you, big brother. I will definitely find a way to make you the heir."
Hearing this, Huo Jie became interested and said with a smile, "Okay, when Big Brother becomes the heir, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Okay." Huo Chen looked grateful on the surface, but in his heart he had already wanted to step on him a few times.
Haha, as his younger brother, doesn’t he know who Huo Jie is?
Once he becomes the heir, he will definitely have a hard time.
Of course, he would not let Huo Xiao become the heir.
The best outcome is to take control of the Huo family’s finances!
So what if I lose the qualification to compete for the heir?
Who stipulated that he must become the heir of the Huo family in order to obtain all the shares of the Huo family?
Thinking of this, Huo Chen began to plan some things.
While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. He wants to be the fisherman!
Lu Yanxi, Huo Xiao, just wait for me, I, Huo Chen, will never give up!
"Ah!" Yan Xi, who was far away at home, sneezed while cooking.
He looked at the shredded pork with green peppers in the pot and his eyes were so sore that he wanted to cry.
This pepper is really spicy, he likes it!
Grandma Lu, who was watching TV in the living room, was choked to the point of tears streaming down her face. She shouted towards the kitchen, "Ahem... Xiaoxi, why did you buy such spicy peppers today? You're going to have diarrhea if you eat something so spicy in such hot weather and then drink ice water later."
"It's okay, grandma. I'm happy today and want to eat something spicy." After Yan Xi served the dishes, he took them out one by one.
Grandma Lu's eyes lit up when she heard that. She couldn't help but lean over and look at him with a smile, "Really? What's the happy news? Tell me about it. Did the girl agree to be with you?"
"Ahem..." Yan Xi coughed violently when he heard her words, his face flushed. "That's not the case, grandma. This is totally unrelated. Don't be so anxious."
Grandma Lu sat on a chair at the dining table, serving herself a plate of rice as she scolded him, "How can I not be anxious for you, child? Grandma, I'm already this old, I don't know how many days I have left to live, and I still want to see you have a successful career, get married, and have children. You always tell me what's going on between you two?"
Yan Xi listened, feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Even the food in his mouth lost its flavor. "Grandma, I... I don't have a girl I like."
He muttered softly, not having the courage to tell Grandma Lu the truth out loud.
But the truth will eventually come to light, and one day Grandma Lu will find out about this.
But he wanted to wait until Grandma Lu’s illness got better before talking about it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
However, he didn't expect that Grandma Lu's hearing suddenly became very good. When she heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, "You don't have a girl you like? Then what happened to you that day?"
"I..." Yan Xi hesitated and simply buried his head in his food, pretending not to hear.
Grandma Lu looked at the somewhat panicked young man, her already wrinkled brows furrowed even tighter. At that moment, a picture flashed through her mind, and suddenly, an incredible thought came to her mind.
But she didn't dare to think about it too deeply, for she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Grandma Lu's hands holding the bowl and chopsticks trembled slightly, and she started eating in silence.
For a moment, the dining room was so quiet that the only sounds were the chewing and the clinking of dishes.
The grandparents and grandchildren were in the same room but had different thoughts.
