Chapter 158 Destined
The moment their eyes met, he curled his lips at Chi Muzhen, then looked away calmly.
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, and became more certain of her previous thought.
After stepping down, Mrs. Huo was also tired and asked the housekeeper to take her back to her room to rest.
When Cheng Shumin learned that Mrs. Huo had given Heyuan to Huo Tianyi in public, she immediately went to find her with a grim expression.
"Mom, how could you just give Heyuan to Tianyi like this?! And now Tianyi has joined the Huo family under your arrangement. Are you planning to give him everything in the Huo family?"
Mrs. Huo's eyes flashed with impatience, and she said unhappily, "Tianyi has lost everything. Heyuan is my own house. I can give it to whoever I want. You have no right to interfere with my decision."
If Cheng Shumin hadn't cared at all about Huo Tianyi's marriage, she wouldn't have made such a decision.
Thinking about how his parents died when he was a teenager, and now that he has returned to the Huo family, his uncle and aunt are wary of him, fearing that he will snatch the Huo family away from Huo Yunting, Mrs. Huo felt heartbroken.
"I don't mean to interfere with your decision, but aren't you being too biased?!
You've seen how much Yun Ting has contributed to the Huo family over the years. He became the president of the Huo family through his own hard work, not something you gave him! As soon as Tianyi comes back, you give him Heyuan. What do you think Yun Ting will think?!"
However, no matter what Cheng Shumin said, Mrs. Huo did not change her decision.
"Just think of it as me being partial. You and Jinsong both favor Yunting. If no one favors Tianyi, how miserable would his life be?!"
Cheng Shumin frowned and wanted to persuade Mrs. Huo again, but the other party did not give her any chance.
"Even if you talk here until dawn, I won't change my mind. If you really regard Tianyi as your nephew, then choose a famous socialite for him to marry. If you really don't want to do this, I will do it myself!"
Seeing that Mrs. Huo had a cold expression and it was obvious that she was unlikely to change her mind, Cheng Shumin had no choice but to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Huo Tianyi standing at the door with a bowl of sweet wine. He had a deep expression and I didn't know how long he had been listening.
Cheng Shumin's expression changed, and she asked unconsciously: "Tianyi, when did you come?"
Huo Tianyi raised a smile and said, "I just arrived. Auntie, why don't you sit with grandma for a while?"
"No, I have something else to do in the banquet hall. I'll leave first."
After Cheng Shumin left, Huo Tianyi walked into Mrs. Huo's bedroom.
"Grandma, I asked the kitchen to make some sweet wine for you. Drink some and then rest."
Mrs. Huo was still angry at first, but when she saw Huo Tianyi force a smile, she said tiredly, "Well, the energy of the elderly is indeed not as good as that of the young. You go out and play, don't worry about me."
"good."
After putting down the sweet wine, Huo Tianyi left.
However, he did not return to the banquet hall, but went directly to the back garden.
After sitting down in the pavilion, Huo Tianyi curled up the corners of his mouth into a cold smile, and the smile on his face became extremely sinister.
Taking over Heyuan was only the first step of his plan. Later he would slowly take over Huo's from Huo Yunting.
The more Cheng Shumin didn't want to give him anything, the more he wanted Cheng Shumin to watch with her own eyes as everything in the Huo family became his.
"Dad, Mom, I will be able to avenge you soon!"
A gust of night wind blew, and his voice was almost inaudible.
At this moment in the banquet hall, everyone was discussing the fact that Old Lady Huo had just given Heyuan to Huo Tianyi.
"Heyuan is now worth tens of billions. If a famous socialite marries Huo Tianyi, wouldn't she have tens of billions of assets?!"
"I heard that the original purpose of Mrs. Huo holding this banquet was to choose a wife for Huo Tianyi. Now that he has inherited a fortune worth tens of billions, shouldn't he be able to choose any famous socialite in Rongcheng?"
"Haha, I advise you to wait and see. After all, Mrs. Huo is still alive. Even if you want to inherit Heyuan, you have to wait until she passes away. So you can only wait and see about this 10 billion fortune."
…
Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Chi Xuan couldn't help but smile.
Mrs. Huo's behavior tonight just proves what the Feng Shui master said before: anyone who gets involved with Chi Muzhen will be unlucky!
She just saw that Cheng Shumin's face looked so ugly, as if someone owed her millions.
She looked around the banquet hall and happened to see Cheng Shumin walking in from outside. She hurriedly walked towards her with a smile.
"Aunt Cheng, I see you've been busy tonight. You must not have eaten yet, right? I brought you some food. Eat something to fill your stomach first."
Cheng Shumin was still angry about Mrs. Huo giving Heyuan to Huo Tianyi, but when she saw Chi Xuan's worried eyes, she couldn't help but sigh and took the cake from Chi Xuan's hand.
"Xuanxuan is so considerate."
Chi Xuan smiled shyly and said softly, "There's no one on the sofa over there. Aunt Cheng, why don't you go over and rest for a while?"
"good."
The two walked to the sofa and sat down. After Cheng Shumin ate a small cake, Chi Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Aunt Cheng, I actually think Grandma Huo shouldn't give Heyuan to Young Master Huo."
Cheng Shumin paused while eating and frowned, "Why do you say that?"
Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't really want to show her true emotions in front of others. Even though Chi Xuan was the daughter-in-law she liked, they were not yet a family after all.
"Aunt Cheng, don't you think it's a bit unreasonable for Grandma Huo to give Heyuan to Young Master Huo?"
Seeing that Cheng Shumin didn't say anything but stopped eating, Chi Xuan continued, "Actually, I didn't believe what the Feng Shui master said before, that my sister would destroy the Chi family. But look at the past few years since my sister came back, hasn't the Chi family been on a downward spiral?"
Cheng Shumin frowned and rarely said something fair.
"This has nothing to do with Chi Muzhen, right? It's the Chi family's own poor management."
Chi Xuan shook her head and said, "Aunt Chi, you don't know, but my dad has failed in every investment in recent years. Even if he's unlucky, he should have been lucky enough to make money once or twice, but he hasn't done that once."
After a moment of silence, Cheng Shumin looked at Chi Xuan and said, "You mean, the old lady gave Heyuan to Huo Tianyi because Chi Muzhen was with Huo Yunting?"
Chi Xuan pursed her lips. "I'm not sure either, but whether or not Brother Yun Ting will be with me in the future, I hope he gets better and better."
"Xuanxuan, don't tell anyone about this. I need to think about it carefully."
Chi Xuan held her hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Aunt Cheng, if you need my help, you can tell me anytime."
"Um."
She put down the cake, stood up and left, but her back looked a little distraught.
A hint of coldness flashed in Chi Xuan's eyes. Cheng Shumin might not believe it once or twice, but after so many times, even if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't change her mind!
On the other side, Chi Muzhen finally found Huo Yunting in a deserted corner.
Seeing him sitting there alone with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, Chi Muzhen walked over and sat down next to him.
"Mr. Huo, what are you thinking about?"
