Huo Qizhen had already experienced Huo An's ability to turn the tables on others, so he wasn't surprised at this moment.
Huo Tingzhen, however, couldn't stand his attitude. "It's clearly Xu Que who did terrible things, but instead of scolding her, you blame the victim. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
Second Master Huo nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Huo An immediately felt guilty upon hearing Xu Que's name.
He wasn't happy about just admitting defeat, so he vented his anger on Huo Qizhen, "Your grandmother's mourning hall hasn't been taken down yet, and you're nowhere to be seen. The heir of the Huo family conglomerate, you actually walked away from your elder's mourning hall for a woman. Who taught you to be so ill-mannered?"
The Huo family members were also dissatisfied with Huo Qizhen leaving the funeral hall and taking Jian Yu to the hospital, but they felt they could understand it.
A few words of criticism are fine, but bringing up family education is going too far.
Master Huo the Second said, "It is the father's fault if the son is not taught properly."
"I never taught him to flirt with women at his grandmother's funeral," said Hoan.
Second Master Huo, "..." This is getting more and more out of control.
Huo Qizhen glanced at him indifferently, "Because you were only concerned with flirting with your illegitimate child and lover at your wife's funeral."
Everyone was speechless.
When the topic of Xu Que attending her mother's funeral came up, Huo Tingzhen couldn't help but tear up with grievance. At her mother's funeral, Xu Que actually brought Huo Yunzhen along as a friend of her mother.
She and her brother didn't know Xu Que at the time, and they found it hard to believe when they found out later.
Huo An was immediately enraged. If he could have hit the target, he would have slapped him long ago.
Second Master Huo: "Enough! Hasn't Qizhen returned?"
Coming back would only expose his shortcomings, so it's better not to come back at all.
It seems like not coming back isn't an option either.
Why did you send Niannian to a mental hospital?
"You're wrong. The people who took her in were her parents and family. There are their signatures in the hospital."
"That was also instructed by you behind the scenes."
“They took 100 million from me, why don’t you pay it back for them?”
Huo An nodded. "Okay."
The Huo clan members became dissatisfied, "Why should you take their place?"
Bao Yanbai finally understood the rumors about Huo An's favoritism towards the Xu family. He was willing to give away 100 million yuan without batting an eye for Xu Niannian, his wife's niece.
If it weren't for Old Madam Huo, Xu Niannian's status in the Huo family would probably have long surpassed Huo Tingzhen's.
"Transfer the money!"
Kenneth Fok looked like he was waiting.
Huo An: "I'll transfer it to you when I get back."
Huo Qizhen: "It turns out it was just talk."
Huo An, “…”
He took out his phone and called his personal finance specialist, instructing her to transfer 100 million to Huo Qizhen's private account.
The finance specialist remained silent for a long time.
Huo An assumed she was busy and hung up the phone.
"Send Zian to pick them up."
The bodyguard had just nodded when Huo An's phone rang.
The finance specialist called him.
Didn't you just hang up?
Why did they fight back again?
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Huo, you don't have that much money in your personal account."
"impossible!"
Huo An denied it without even thinking.
"It's true. The details show that it was all transferred to Huo Yunzhen's account on the 3rd of last month."
Huo An, “…”
At this point, Huo An finally remembered that one night last month, Xu Que asked him if he could transfer some more money to Huo Yunzhen.
He told her to go directly to the finance specialist.
Afterwards, he didn't ask any further questions.
Unexpectedly, Xu Que transferred all of it to him.
"Then use Yunzhen's account to transfer the money."
"It can't be changed because Young Master Yunzhen set the pupil password."
Huo Yunzhen is already dead; his pupils have been burned and are completely blurred, so they are impossible to use.
If you want to use his money, you can only wait until the inheritance procedures are completed.
"Where is your wife?"
"My wife doesn't have much money under her name, only a little over ten million."
Huo An frowned. "Did you invest it?"
"No, over 95% of it went into the Xu family's accounts."
Huo An, "..." He should have thought of that sooner.
Instead of investing her money in profitable projects, she used it to subsidize her family, resulting in them squandering all her wealth.
The Huo clan members all turned their heads away in disdain.
Huo Tingzhen: "That means they don't have the money to pay."
Huo An said, "Don't go too far in your actions; you're still young every year."
Huo Tingzhen, "When Xu Que angered her grandmother to death, why didn't you tell her not to be too ruthless? When Xu Que and Xu Niannian discussed hiring a thug, why didn't you tell them not to be too ruthless?"
Grandpa Huo tapped his cane. "Just locking them up in a mental hospital is too lenient. If you ask me, the punishment should be more severe."
Some members of the clan agreed.
"The punishment is indeed too lenient."
"And that Xu Zi'an, he's been jumping around trying to get his sister's name cleared. If you ask me, he should be locked up too."
Huo An looked astonished, unable to believe that his own family members would contradict him like this.
Old Master Huo coughed and said, "What are you all saying? Would our family do something like this, bullying others?"
Huo Er Taiye's son nodded, "Our family persuades people with reason."
Second Master Huo said, "Give the Xu family another 100 million and ask them if they want to send Xu Zi'an in as well?"
Huo An, “…”
Are they crazy?
Huo An said, "Stop fooling around, we're talking about serious matters now."
Second Master Huo: "Who's arguing with you?"
Pointing at the old housekeeper, he said, "Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"
The old housekeeper quickly took out his phone and found Xu's father's number.
Huo An: "Stop."
The old butler turned a deaf ear.
Xu's father's voice came from the other end of the line soon after, "Old Butler?"
The old butler got straight to the point and stated his purpose directly.
Mr. Xu's breath caught in his throat.
The old butler listened carefully and heard more than one heavy breathing sound from the other side.
Xu's father spoke haltingly, "I... Zi'an... this..."
Xu's mother screamed, "No! Zi'an is our only child now. If we send Zi'an in, who will take care of us in our old age?"
Mr. Xu mumbled something, but the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hear it clearly.
So the people here didn't have any particular reaction.
Bao Yanbai had excellent hearing, and although Xu's father's words were unclear, he still understood what he meant.
So he became a messenger, saying, "They said the son can have another child."
"......"
Bao Yanbai's voice was very loud, and Xu's mother on the other end of the phone could hear it clearly.
She let out a howl and pounced on Xu's father, "So! You've got someone else on the side? You want me to step down? No wonder you don't care about the child, you had other plans all along. Let me tell you, don't even think about Zi'an."
Then came a mixture of impact sounds and cries of pain.
It looks like the fight is going very well.
Huo An, “…”
What are you doing?
Xu Zian is back.
