The three of them came to the Huo family's old house. When Huo Zhiguo stepped into the yard, he couldn't help but cover his nose.
Huo Jue put Wen Xia Nuan down as if he hadn't expected it. "Change your shoes first. I'll go boil some water for you."
He turned to leave but was stopped by his uncle: "Wait! Listen to what I have to say first!"
Huo Jue paused and turned to look at him: "Uncle, what brings you here?"
Wen Xia Nuan also saw this scene in the yard. She turned and walked into the room. Huo Zhiguo coughed and then looked at Huo Jue: "Huo Jue, you are so brave!"
Huo Jue frowned, and Huo Zhiguo asked again: "Who told you to bring this Wen Zhiqing back home?"
"Uncle, I brought Wen Zhiqing back, it's..."
"You don't need to explain! Huo Jue, don't you know what kind of background our family is? What good can come of bringing this girl from the city home?"
Huo Zhiguo looked at Huo Jue disapprovingly: "Hurry up and tell the captain that our Huo family can't accommodate girls from this city!"
Huo Jue didn't say anything. Huo Zhiguo didn't hear his answer for a long time, so he cursed, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Of course I heard it."
A soft voice came, and Wen Xia Nuan came out from the corridor, her eyes falling on Huo Zhiguo: "Uncle Huo, right? I live here, it should have nothing to do with you, right?"
She blinked her eyes with an innocent expression.
Huo Zhiguo was stunned. He didn't expect Wen Xia Nuan to not put on any pretense and come to ask him directly.
"Uncle, why don't you speak?"
Huo Zhiguo forced a smile and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, it's really not suitable for a woman like you to live in the Huo family alone! Since Huo Jue can't agree, I will talk to the team leader and guarantee that you will find a good family!"
"Uncle, don't worry about this!"
Huo Jue stared at Huo Zhiguo calmly, "The captain has also agreed to this, so don't waste your time."
"Yeah, what Huo Jue said makes sense, and it has nothing to do with you if I live here, right? As far as I know, you and Huo Jue separated a long time ago, right?"
Huo Zhiguo didn't expect Wen Xia Nuan to even know this. He looked grim, slammed the table, and stood up from the stone bench: "Wen Zhiqing, this is my family's business. Why are you, an outsider, butting in?"
[Is this guy crazy? Doesn't he know that Wen Xia Nuan is Huo Jue's sweetheart?]
[If you ask me, I still can't tell the difference between the big and small kings. Didn't you see Huo Jue's face turned black?]
[I support the heroine in fucking him. This Huo Zhiguo is the most disgusting! He enjoys all the benefits for himself, and the hero has to do all the dirty work! ]
[I don't know if you've noticed, although the hero's face looks grim, he actually seems a little secretly happy. It seems the heroine's help really made him happy!]
Wen Xia Nuan felt relieved as she watched the barrage of comments appear in front of her. It seemed that Huo Jue didn't blame her for messing around.
"What I said is the truth, uncle. You said Huo Jue and I are alone, but we still have a grandmother at home. Do you think we are alone and don't care about our grandmother, or do you think your nephew is a fool?"
Wen Xia Nuan propped her chin on her hand, her eyes fixed on Huo Jue: "But I feel that Huo Jue's way of dealing with people is not like what you said. He has always treated me with courtesy."
"you!"
Huo Zhiguo was so angry that he was speechless. Looking at Wen Xia Nuan, he felt that he had experienced her sharp tongue.
Huo Jue felt warm in his heart. This was the first time someone in his family spoke up for him.
Wen Xia Nuan blinked innocently: "Uncle, do you have anything else to do? If not, Huo Jue should go and boil water for me to take a bath!"
"Mom, did you hear that? This Wen Zhiqing really treats Huo Jue as a servant!"
Seeing that he couldn't control Huo Jue, Huo Zhiguo turned his gaze towards the closed room and shouted loudly: "He didn't go to work points when it was time to work, but actually came back to boil bath water for an educated youth. What a waste!"
Wen Xia Nuan frowned. "You're really meddling in other people's business. Is this yours? You're just cursing him for ruining the family business. Besides, I've already discussed the work points with Huo Jue. What business does an outsider like you have with it?"
Huo Zhiguo was about to argue when the tightly closed door creaked open.
The old lady glanced at the two people with a serious look: "What are you arguing about?"
When Huo Zhiguo saw his mother coming out, he quickly ran over and said, "Mom, you have to take good care of Huo Jue. When will our Huo family ever be bossed around by an educated youth from outside?"
In her heart, Old Lady Huo had as much opinion of Wen Xia Nuan as Huo Zhiguo did, but after all, she was brought here by her grandson, so she couldn't refuse him in front of Huo Jue.
As for what kind of person her son is, she knows exactly!
"Zhiguo, you came here just to teach your nephew a lesson, but that's unnecessary. I think I know Huo Jue's temper better than you."
Old Mrs. Huo did not give her son any face at all. Huo Zhiguo looked at his mother with grievance, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Old Mrs. Huo also looked at Huo Zhiguo as if warning: "If you have nothing to do, go back first."
Huo Zhiguo was secretly annoyed that his mother was partial to him and didn't even know how to save face for him in front of the younger generation. He was angry and turned to leave, but Wen Xia Nuan blocked his way.
"What?"
Huo Zhiguo's impatient gaze fell on Wen Xianuan. Wen Xianuan forced a smile and looked at Huo Zhiguo: "Uncle, you can't leave now."
She looked at Huo Zhiguo with a half-smile in her eyes. Huo Zhiguo frowned, not understanding what Wen Xia Nuan was doing.
"Grandma, Huo Jue and Xiaobo need to make things clear."
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan. He took in her quirky look and understood what Wen Xia Nuan was doing.
"Uncle, there are some things we should really talk about clearly."
He took a step forward, and Huo Zhiguo subconsciously took a step back when he realized that Huo Jue was no longer someone he could control.
"Although we have separated over the years, grandma is still your mother. Shouldn't you also pay the alimony for all these years?"
"Huo Jue, are you asking me for money?"
Huo Zhiguo's eyes widened as he looked at him in disbelief, then he looked at his mother: "Mom, did you hear that? Huo Jue is using you as a scapegoat!"
Mrs. Huo glanced at Huo Jue, then looked at her son. "Ajue is right. Over the years, it has always been Ajue who has been filial to me on behalf of his parents. I am your mother, and you are still here. I must provide for you."
