Chapter 686 I Don’t Agree
Huo Dongcheng's scrutinizing gaze lingered on Lin Jiamin for a moment, filled with some doubt.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and the tear marks on her face had dried, making her look particularly haggard.
Could it be that the old man found out that Lin Jiamin expelled Xue Jun, and he wanted to bring Xue Jun back?
Huo Junshan didn't answer, but only said, "Go to the study first."
"...Is there anything I can't listen to?" Huo Dongcheng's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
Lin Jiamin glanced at Huo Junshan, lowered her head and said nothing.
Her fingers were tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, as if she was trying hard to suppress her inner emotions.
Seeing the old man's face as if he had eaten a fly, and then gloomy, Huo Dongcheng nodded and stood up, saying, "Dad, I'll go to the study to wait for you."
He walked straight up the stairs, his footsteps echoing in the empty living room.
The Huo family's old house was still magnificent, and the crystal chandeliers cast soft light, but it could not cover up the oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Huo Junshan watched Huo Dongcheng leave, then turned his head, looked at Lin Jiamin with a stern gaze, and said sternly: "Since you took the initiative to bring her in as soon as possible. You will be responsible for all her diet and medical care. Jiamin, you are a smart person. If anything happens to her and her unborn child again, you know the consequences."
Lin Jiamin nodded meekly and replied, "I understand. I will take good care of Miss Xue until she gives birth safely."
Ever since Xue Jun escaped, Lin Jiamin remained calm on the surface, but in fact, she was always shrouded in uneasiness deep in her heart.
Especially since the people she sent out had not been able to find any trace of Xue Jun, this feeling of uneasiness was like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart.
Just as she was gradually letting down her guard, Huo Junshan suddenly caught her off guard.
He placed all the evidence in front of her, including the surveillance footage from the club and the road, the confessions of employees like Xiao Lu, and Xue Jun's pregnancy test report, leaving her with no way to defend herself.
This was a big blow to Lin Jiamin. She had been generous and considerate in front of Huo Junshan. Not only did she tolerate Xue Jun's existence, she also asked Lin Yinuan to apologize to Xue Jun and give him a gift.
However, secretly, when she learned that Xue Jun was pregnant, she chose to expel her violently without hesitation, and even framed Xue Jun for the crime.
Seeing Lin Jiamin's expression, Huo Junshan was very disappointed with her.
Lin Jiamin assessed the situation, admitted her mistake, knelt down to apologize and beg, recalled the past, and cried, saying that she cared too much about him and was confused for a moment.
Huo Junshan and Lin Jiamin have been married for many years. Seeing his wife kneeling humbly on the ground and crying, he couldn't help but calm down a little. He planned to give Lin Jiamin a light punishment and a stern warning so that she could make amends.
Huo Junshan looked at her submissive expression and nodded, his tone softening slightly, "Alright, go get ready. Remember to tell Yi Nuan that if she dares to disrespect Xue Jun again, I'll hold you accountable."
"Yes, I will take care of her."
Huo Junshan stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Lin Jiamin looked at his back, took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and dug her nails deep into her palms.
She closed her eyes, her heart filled with resentment and helplessness.
A mistake in the plan allowed Xue Jun to seize the opportunity and launch an immediate counterattack. Lin Jiamin was unwilling to accept this, but she had no power to fight back.
When Huo Junshan walked into the study, Huo Dongcheng was sitting on the sofa. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at his father, and said calmly: "Dad, can you tell me now?"
As it concerns his private life, Huo Junshan still feels a little embarrassed when facing his son who is already in his thirties.
But since Xue Jun wants to live in the Huo family, Huo Dongcheng still has to know about it.
Huo Junshan sat down on the sofa opposite Huo Dongcheng and pondered for a moment: "Ms. Xue Jun, I remember you met her?"
Huo Dongcheng lowered his eyes, his face calm, and moved his fingers on his knees. "Well, but I heard that she left the capital some time ago?"
Not only have I seen her, I've also slept with her.
Huo Junshan nodded. "Your Aunt Lin said that she took Yi Nuan to apologize to Xue Jun, but Xue Jun refused to accept it and even stabbed your Aunt Lin. She ran away because she was afraid of being held accountable. I saw the injuries on your Aunt Lin's body and believed what she said."
Huo Dongcheng knew all this a long time ago.
"so……"
Huo Junshan continued, "But, until yesterday, Xue Jun appeared in front of me in a panic. After I investigated, I found out that Xue Jun was pregnant. Lin Jiamin couldn't tolerate her, so she designed to drive Xue Jun away."
Huo Dongcheng's mind was instantly confused, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Xue Jun... Miss Xue returned to Beijing on her own?"
Xue Jun was pregnant before being driven out of the capital by Lin Jiamin?
But why did I never see her mention it when we were in H City?
Huo Junshan didn't notice Huo Dongcheng's abnormality. He was still immersed in the emotions he had just seen Xue Jun yesterday. "Yes... She was wandering around the company and was found by my people. She cried and told me that the past month had been miserable and she almost lost her child..."
Huo Dongcheng listened, the corners of his lips twitched, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Before coming back, he asked Xue Jun if she wanted to leave with him. She refused and turned to look for the old man?
In H City, Xue Jun used someone else's identity to bind to the online shopping platform. He didn't seem to be short of money, and he transferred several million to Xue Jun before leaving. However, Xue Jun "had a miserable month"?
The child was almost lost?
Huo Dongcheng sneered even more in his heart.
When they exercised before going to bed every day, Xue Jun never cared about the baby in her belly.
At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.
Huo Junshan realized that it was a bit inappropriate to say this to his son.
He cleared his throat and continued, "Your Aunt Lin has already admitted her mistake to me and proposed to take Xue Jun in to take care of her and ensure that she gives birth safely. I agreed."
Such examples of a third party entering the family are not uncommon in wealthy families that prioritize profit. Some wives even take their mistresses shopping, and the children born to the wives get along well with the children born to the mistresses.
But Huo Dongcheng didn't like it.
His mother died due to the stimulation of a third party.
He raised his eyes and looked at Huo Junshan seriously, "I don't agree."
When Huo Junshan heard what Huo Dongcheng said, his brows instantly frowned and his face darkened.
He stared at Huo Dongcheng, his tone a little unhappy: "Dongcheng, I have made up my mind about this matter. Xue Jun is pregnant with my child, the blood of the Huo family. I can't let her wander around."
Huo Dongcheng didn't back down. He looked directly at his father, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Dad, have you forgotten how my mother died?"
Huo Junshan froze, his expression instantly turning grim. "Dongcheng, this time is different. Xue Jun and the child are innocent."
"Go tell my mom about this. You don't think this stabbing is embarrassing enough, do you?"
Huo Junshan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'll ask Lao Li and the others to agree to your proposal and nominate you to the board of directors."
Dongcheng is a member of the Huo family after all. He knows the Huo family well and has power and manpower in his hands. If he does not get his consent, he has many ways to make Xue Jun have a miscarriage, and some can even be more covert than what Lin Jiamin did.
"Dad, it seems you really like Miss Xue." Huo Dongcheng chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I agree to let Miss Xue stay here to take care of the baby."
