Xu Qingyun walked over with light, slow steps.
Upon seeing her, Huo Zhenghong was momentarily stunned, because she resembled Fu Yue more than Ye Jianjia.
He no longer had the feelings he had for Fu Yue, but she was still a girl he liked when he was young, and the memory was still vivid.
But the thought of Fu Yue rejecting him, falling in love with Bai Yunhai, and finally ending up with Ye Boyun made it hard for him to control the resentment of unrequited love.
Huo Zhenghong frowned unhappily, his two completely white eyebrows furrowing. "You bastard, what are you doing bringing her here?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Huo Yan put his hands in his pockets and smiled nonchalantly, "Look at what you're saying. If I anger you to death, wouldn't I have to inherit your estate? I don't want that. I haven't had enough fun yet. The longer you live, the more I can enjoy myself and be a carefree baby forever."
As he spoke, Huo Yan rested his head on Huo Zhenghong's shoulder, acting coquettishly.
Huo Zhenghong was immediately amused by his words, "You brat, you're almost thirty and still calling yourself a good boy, aren't you ashamed?!"
"No. Grandpa, come here, let me introduce you. This is Xiaoyun. I'm unilaterally declaring her my girlfriend because neither she nor her boyfriend agrees."
Huo Zhenghong raised his hand and tapped him on the head. "Nonsense! You keep pestering her even though she doesn't agree. You're a simp."
Then, he turned to Xu Qingyun, his gaze sharpening like a knife. "Huo Yan is just fooling around, Miss Xu, please don't take it to heart. Today is my birthday, so I won't keep Miss Xu here any longer. I'll definitely have someone prepare something another day..."
"Xiaoyun, come here, I'll take you to my room. I have something good to show you."
Before Huo Zhenghong could finish speaking, Huo Yan grabbed Xu Qingyun and left.
Huo Zhenghong glared at him, "You brat, what's the meaning of bringing a girl to your room?"
Ji Yaxuan smiled indulgently, "Dad, please let him go."
"Nonsense! That brat is hot-blooded. If he causes any trouble at this time, my Huo family will lose face!"
Huo Zhenghong, his face grim, immediately strode after him.
Huo Zhenghong served in the army when he was young, and he continued to train after his discharge. Now, although he is eighty years old, he is still very healthy and can walk with great speed.
To keep an eye on Huo Yan and Huo Xize, that pair of irresponsible and difficult father and son, he would occasionally pretend to be sick.
Ji Yaxuan looked in Huo Zhenghong's direction, her red lips curving slightly. She hadn't expected Huo Yan to bring Xu Qingyun to the Huo family. It really suited his playboy style.
She had already planned to have Huo Yan cause a sex scandal at today's banquet, completely enraging the old man and then kicking Huo Yan out of the Huo family.
Since Xu Qingyun is here, why not go with the flow and help the brother and sister get together? At that time, Ji Hanchen will definitely kill Huo Yan.
Kill two birds with one stone!
A few days ago, the old man asked her if she wanted to join the company, which means that her plans over the years have finally paid off.
If she and her daughter are both in the company, then the Huo family will be in her hands.
She wants Huo Xize, and she wants the Huo family.
"Mom, where's my brother?" Huo Miaomiao suddenly patted Ji Yaxuan.
Ji Yaxuan was jolted awake, quite frightened. She then glared at her daughter and scolded, "You are the eldest daughter of the Huo family. You should stand and sit properly, walk at a steady pace, and keep your posture upright. What kind of behavior is this, jumping around like this?!"
Huo Miaomiao said impatiently, "Mom, can you stop nagging? I'm already tired enough from work, and I have to listen to my boss's nagging, and then I get criticized by you when I get home."
"Isn't this all for your own good?" Ji Yaxuan said with a hint of disappointment. Her daughter was capable, but her personality was so unlike that of a strong woman.
She couldn't help but look at Ren Anjing, who was chatting and laughing with business tycoons not far away. He had a powerful aura and his eyes were full of domineering presence.
She hopes her daughter can become like Ren Anjing in the future, because only in this way can she support the entire Huo family!
She had no choice but to do this. If Huo Xize hadn't always only had Ye Jianjia in his heart and hadn't given her the chance to have a son, she wouldn't have devoted herself to raising her daughter.
Ji Yaxuan originally thought that she should simply raise Huo Yan as her own son and make him her puppet in the future.
But the thought that Huo Yan was Ye Jianjia's illegitimate child made her unable to convince herself. In fact, before Huo Yan was even a month old, she had thought of strangling him several times.
Ji Yaxuan had also laid a hand on the child twice. Seeing the child's face turn blue and purple, suffocating and unable to cry out, she felt incredibly satisfied.
But in the end, she regained her senses, after all, she still needed this bastard to solidify her relationship with Huo Xize.
Huo Xize didn't love her, but he genuinely liked Huo Yan; this was probably due to their blood ties.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Yaxuan became even more determined not to treat Huo Yan as her own son, because once everything was exposed, everything would be over.
Seeing Huo Yan now, Ji Yaxuan couldn't help but sneer. Her decision back then was indeed the right one. Huo Yan was an ungrateful wretch. No matter how good you were to him, he would always be closer to those who were related to him by blood.
Ren Anjing happened to look over as well, her cold gaze carrying a hint of disdain, which made Ji Yaxuan's smile turn colder.
In order to climb the social ladder, Ren Anjing did not hesitate to marry an old man who could be her father, yet he looked down on her.
Hmph, laughable.
Ren Anjing withdrew her gaze, but a surge of intense hatred welled up within her. This heartless and vicious woman was cruel to Ye Jianjia, and even more cruel to her son.
Looking back now, Ji Yaxuan's gentle treatment of Ji Hanchen in the past was probably a way of sowing discord between her and Ji Hanchen, which led to their irreconcilable differences.
That vicious woman deserves to die! I wonder what her son and Xu Qingyun are planning to do.
Just as Huo Yan was about to pull Xu Qingyun upstairs, Huo Zhenghong stopped him, "Huo Yan, you stop right there!"
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Huo Yan asked with a smile.
Huo Zhenghong snorted coldly, "Bringing outsiders into private property like that, don't you have any manners at all?"
"Grandpa." Xu Qingyun's voice was clear and cold, and her eyes were bright.
Huo Zhenghong's face was very ugly. "Miss Xu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just call me whatever you want. I only have one granddaughter, Miaomiao."
Huo Yan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Sister, didn't we say not to upset the old man?"
Xu Qingyun chuckled, "Brother, Grandpa is in very good health. I think we're being too roundabout."
"Brother?" Huo Zhenghong narrowed his eyes sharply. "You are...you are Ye Jianjia and Xize's child?"
Xu Qingyun stepped closer and nodded, saying, "Grandpa, you're very shrewd; you can guess things right away. Not only me, but my brother and my sister are too."
boom!
Huo Zhenghong was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
"Grandpa!" Huo Yan was startled and supported him anxiously, afraid that the old man would faint from the shock.
Huo Zhenghong's eyes churned with anger as he roared, "Huo Yan! Throw this girl out of here!"
