"Huo Jue, come out!"
There were shouting and cursing sounds coming from outside the door. Huo Jue looked outside the house for a few times and his eyes fell on Old Mrs. Huo. Old Mrs. Huo frowned. The voice sounded like her daughter-in-law, Li Mei.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Old Mrs. Huo walked out with a cane. Huo Jue was afraid that something might happen, so he followed her out quickly. His eyes fell on Old Mrs. Huo, but before he could say anything more, Li Mei had already walked out.
"Huo Jue, you've been really impressive lately. Not only have you split up the family business, but I heard you're also planning to marry Wen Zhiqing?"
Li Mei stared at him intently and asked, "Did you forget something else?"
He was silent. Li Mei didn't wait for him to speak and continued, "Your grandmother has arranged a marriage for you."
"Li Mei, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Huo's face turned pale when she thought of what she had said casually before. She stared at Li Mei with a warning expression, and the threat in her eyes was self-evident.
Li Mei smiled faintly, but her eyes were always on Mrs. Huo. Realizing that she was now in a state of panic, Li Mei laughed foolishly and said, "Mrs. Huo, I'm sure you've remembered now that I wasn't joking."
Huo Jue also frowned, his eyes filled with surprise: "Li Mei, please don't say anything you shouldn't."
Li Mei sneered, "Huo Jue, you're in power now. With what you said, you really have the capital to come and settle accounts with me, right?"
Huo Jue remained silent, his eyes swept over Li Mei in front of him, and he didn't say anything else.
The old lady's anxious gaze fell on Li Mei. Recalling the past, she said angrily and helplessly, "This matter is completely over. Why are you saying these things?"
Li Mei sneered when she heard this, her expression falling on the old lady's face: "You guys just let this matter go and leave my son to endure all these lies and lies alone, right?"
"Old lady, don't forget what's going on with my son now."
Only then did Mrs. Huo realize that Li Mei had come to settle a score with her son.
"What do you want to do?"
Old Mrs. Huo couldn't quite understand Li Mei's plan.
Thinking back on the past, she looked much older.
"What happened to Huo Chen is entirely his own fault. It's not our fault at all. Besides, you know what Huo Chen did. I don't want to make things too ugly."
Huo Jue thought for a moment and then spoke out, with coldness in the depths of his eyes.
Li Mei simply opened up: "Okay, then let's talk it out."
"You don't need me to explain what the old lady did before. Everyone in the village knows it. When we were still the landowners, we had already arranged a marriage for you and the daughter of Aunt Fatty."
"Now that you want to marry Wen Zhiqing, what should Auntie Pang's daughter do?"
When Mrs. Huo heard what he said, her face turned pale and she almost fainted.
She never dreamed that the woman in front of her would dare to say such words!
"This is outrageous, Li Mei, do you even know what you're talking about?"
Li Mei sneered, her eyes fell on Old Madam Huo, and she said naturally, "Of course I understand! Old Madam, this matter is not something you can have the final say on."
Thinking back on the past, Li Mei has completely let go.
Mrs. Huo took a deep breath, held Huo Jue's hand, and said with the same guilty tone: "Huo Jue, it is indeed my fault this time."
She really went too far and imposed all the previous events on Huo Jue, causing his current situation.
Huo Jue quickly waved his hand: "It's not your fault, grandma."
The emotion in Mrs. Huo's eyes changed, and Huo Xiao quickly came out: "Do you need me to call the captain?"
When Li Mei heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "Go ahead and shout! Who can stop you? The captain is here just to clarify what's going on, and to prevent some people from trying to play both sides!"
She snorted coldly, and Huo Jue curled his lips and said, "Alright, go and call her. Since it's your aunt's request, as your junior, I will naturally satisfy you."
The captain also hurried out, and when his eyes fell on Li Mei, he couldn't help but frowned: "Li Mei, what are you trying to do now?"
Li Mei twitched her lips when she heard the captain's voice. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Captain, how could I dare to do anything? Isn't everything here dictated by you? I just want to ask, is Huo Jue really going to marry Wen Zhiqing?"
She sounded half-smiling, and the captain sneered, "What does this have to do with you? If you're truly doing this for their own good, why not just give them some money?"
"How could I possibly come here if I had this much money?"
Li Mei made no secret of her thoughts. When her eyes fell on Huo Jue, she said coldly, "Huo Jue, now that the captain is here, why don't you clarify everything we discussed earlier?"
The captain was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on when he heard Huo Jue say everything.
He looked at Li Mei in front of him and said helplessly: "Tell me, aren't you looking for trouble?"
"Alright, alright, let's just get this over with."
Li Mei was still unhappy in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Chen Yanfang walking towards her. She quickly waved at her with a smile, "Yanfang, come here quickly."
Chen Yanfang didn't know what was going on, but was hurriedly pulled over by her.
"What are you doing!"
Chen Yanfang struggled and shook off Li Mei's hand. She straightened her clothes and looked at him with a look of resistance: "Don't mess around with me!"
"Yanfang, didn't you also want to marry Huo Jue before? Now that you finally have this opportunity, shouldn't you insist on it?"
After hearing what Li Mei said, Chen Yanfang frowned and looked at the woman with resistance in her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I get married to Brother Jue?"
"Captain, please take care of her. What kind of nonsense is she saying?"
Chen Yanfang handed the item in her hand to Huo Jue: "Brother Jue, this is something my mother asked me to give to you and Wen Zhiqing. She said it's to congratulate you two on your upcoming marriage."
Huo Jue reached out to take it. Facing this scene, Li Mei stepped forward without thinking and tried to snatch the thing from Huo Jue's hand, but Huo Jue dodged her.
