"Ah Nuan, when we get back to the village, should I discuss this matter with grandma?"
When Wen Xia Nuan heard Huo Tingfeng's words, she thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "This matter really needs to be explained to Old Madam Huo. There are some things between us that I should also tell your grandma."
Huo Jue thought the same thing. After hearing this, he put his thoughts back into his stomach: "Then I'll talk to grandma clearly."
"Oh, and the captain's letter of introduction still needs to be issued by the village."
Huo Jue nodded and quickly agreed.
"Okay, I'll do it right away when I get back."
The ox cart slowly returned to the village. When Wen Xia Nuan got off the ox cart, Huo Jue extended a hand to support her.
His eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah Nuan, go back and rest first. I'll come find you after I've sorted things out."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue and nodded quickly.
Huo Jue's steps were very brisk now, but he didn't expect that the old lady would actually run into Huo Chen in the yard.
He just wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and walked towards his grandmother, but Huo Chen stopped him.
"Huo Jue, I heard you are getting married."
Huo Jue paused, and when his eyes fell on Huo Chen's face, he asked in a blunt tone, "Is there something wrong?"
Huo Chen sneered, "Huo Jue, do you really think that just because you've climbed up the social ladder, you can be indifferent? Or do you feel that you don't need to give me face at this moment?"
"Huo Chen, if you want to cause trouble, I suggest you go find someone else. You don't need to cause trouble for me at all."
Huo Jue frowned and looked at Huo Chen: "If you don't have anything else to do, please leave first."
"I told you to wait, don't you understand what I said?"
He pulled the corner of his mouth and glanced at Huo Jue. Huo Chen was about to continue to make trouble, but Huo Jue reached out and pinched his hand. He was in so much pain that his whole body was shaking, but at this moment he couldn't really show the pain.
"Huo Chen, I've never wanted to get entangled with you because I'm worried that you might be too aggressive. I've backed off again and again, but why are you still trying to cause trouble for me?"
Huo Jue didn't want to say anything too harsh, but Huo Cheng was the one who was always pushing things too far. If he didn't explain things clearly, Huo Chen would probably still come and cause trouble for him.
"Whether I've climbed up the social ladder or not has nothing to do with you. I hope you can remember this and stop coming to me."
Huo Chen stared at Huo Jue intently, his voice filled with anger: "Huo Jue, what kind of good person do you think you are? Do you really have a clear conscience?"
Huo Jue let go of Huo Chen at this moment, his brows furrowed. "What do you mean by this? Could it be that in your eyes, I've become a sycophant again?"
When Huo Jue said this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Huo Chen, when will you change your habit of blaming everything on others?"
Huo Chen's eyes were also filled with anger: "Am I wrong? Aren't you just currying favor with the powerful now?"
"Is it true that you only care about Wen Xia Nuan?"
Huo Chen sneered, "Huo Jue, didn't you choose her because of her family background?"
"Why are you pretending to be affectionate when you come to me now?"
Huo Chen felt irritated. Just knowing that Huo Jue was going to be with Wen Xia Nuan made him feel very uncomfortable. Now looking at Huo Jue, Huo Chen just wanted to cut him into pieces!
"I'm not like you."
He shook off Huo Chen's hand and turned to leave.
He didn't know what he had said to offend Huo Chen. The moment he left, Huo Chen also stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "Huo Jue, you..."
“That’s enough!”
A shout from inside the house made both Huo Jue and Huo Chen stop.
Old Madam Huo's gaze fell on Huo Jue and Huo Chen. Looking at her two grandsons, especially the troublesome Huo Chen, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she angrily scolded, "Huo Chen, go back to your own home and stop causing trouble here!"
She said this.
Huo Chen's expression changed, and his gaze fell on Old Madam Huo: "Grandma, are you really this partial now?"
He couldn't accept this. Old Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Chen in front of her with a gloomy face and said, "Do you think I'm being biased by doing this now?"
Huo Chen didn't say anything else, but the unconvinced expression on his face was enough to show that he really thought so.
"Huo Chen, you look like this. Anyone would just kick you out of the house. I'm already giving you face by letting you go back now, but you don't care about what I said at all."
"Huo Jue, come here!"
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes fell on Huo Chen. She said calmly, "If you don't want to go back, just stay here."
Huo Jue followed Mrs. Huo inside. His eyes fell on the old lady. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his grandmother say, "Huo Jue, what are you going to say now?"
"Grandma, the Wen family has already agreed to my marriage with A Nuan. I came here just to let you know."
Huo Jue said this, and the emotions in Mrs. Huo's eyes surged several times. Finally, she said, "Since you have already considered it, I won't say anything else. Just do what you want."
Old Mrs. Huo thought very clearly.
Huo Jue's gaze also fell on the old lady. He nodded and said, "Then I understand."
"Ajue."
When Mrs. Huo saw her grandson turn around and leave, she said in a calm voice, but with a hint of deep thought: "Ajue, are you happy now that the family has been divided?"
Huo Jue didn't turn around at this moment. Instead, he responded calmly, "Grandma, after taking off this heavy burden, I feel more than ever that everything is developing in the direction I expected."
"I breathed a sigh of relief and realized that I no longer had to shoulder the burden of this family."
Huo Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of helplessness rose in Old Mrs. Huo's eyes. The words her grandson said really pierced her heart.
She knew how much her eldest grandson had sacrificed over the years, but now she was deeply aware of the guilt she had completely delayed his development.
"Huo Jue, it's really Grandma who has let you down now."
