Chapter 75 Supporting Your Wife
All eyes in the room turned to Huo Qiao and Xie Linyuan.
However, the expressions of these two people were different.
Huo Qiao's face remained unchanged and indifferent, as if the news just announced by the old man had nothing to do with him.
Xie Linyuan's face was flushed, and his watery eyes fell directly on Huo Qiao, full of affection.
Pei Yuzhi felt like a big stone was blocking his heart.
He stared at Huo Qiao intently, trying to read Huo Qiao's thoughts at this moment on his face.
But soon he pursed his lips in frustration.
Huo Qiao let the old man of the Huo family talk for a while, and listened to the compliments of the people around him.
Huo Qiao---is he willing to marry Xie Linyuan?
Finally, Master Huo had enough of the compliments from the people around him, and with a slight smile on his cold face, he turned to look at Huo Qiao.
"Huo Qiao, Lin Yuan is here today, you can accompany him for a walk."
"Grandpa, didn't you say three things?" Huo Qiao said in a normal tone, "As for Xie Lin Yuan, I'm not familiar with him and I won't develop any feelings for him. I'm afraid the engagement is a mistake? Last time I came back from Dongsu, my uncle had already rejected the Xie family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The smile on Master Huo's face slowly disappeared, and Xie Lin Yuan stared at Huo Qiao in disbelief.
How dare he?
How dare Huo Qiao embarrass him in front of these prominent people in the Magic City?
"Huo Qiao, what are you talking about? This is a big matter between the two families, you have no right to make trouble here!"
Cui Xinyue was the first to speak, her face was ashen and her eyes were full of frost.
Huo Qiting turned to look at Xie Linyuan and said with a smile:
"Linyuan, Huo Qiao entertained you in Dongsu, right? Let him take you to the back garden later."
Xie Linyuan looked at Huo Qiao with a cold face and said in a stern voice:
"Huo Qiao, what do you mean?"
Huo Qiao did not look at him but looked at Old Master Huo and asked seriously:
"Grandpa, what is the third thing? The third thing you want to announce is it?
I guess it is to transfer my shares to Huo Sheng?
Grandpa, have you forgotten? Before I was born, the Huo
family promised my grandfather and uncle that these shares would be given to me.
My uncle just left the Magic City on a business trip, and the contract and agreement did not leave with him."
The hall was silent again.
The second wife rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
Huo Sheng was quick to support her.
She never thought that Huo Qiao, this madman, would be so shameless in front of so many people!
Huo Sheng's heart was pounding.
He looked at Huo Qiao with fear, and felt that the 2% of the shares might be lost.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at his mother with complaint. If she hadn't been nosy, Huo Qiao would have been sent away long ago.
"---Huo Qiao, I have discussed these things with your uncle. He..."
Cui Xinyue's voice suddenly stagnated. She had never seen Huo Qiao's eyes so cold.
It didn't seem like he was looking at his mother, but at an enemy.
In addition to the initial surprise, Cui Xinyue felt a strong sense of grievance in her heart.
How could Huo Qiao look at her like this?
Everything she did was for his own good!
If she hadn't gotten pregnant with Huo Qiao accidentally, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant before marriage and had to marry Huo Qi Ting.
If she hadn't been injured when giving birth to Huo Qiao, she wouldn't have been able to bear being laughed at in the Huo family forever.
If it wasn't for Huo Qiao's interests, she wouldn't have been able to tolerate Huo Qi Ting raising a lover and illegitimate children outside.
.....
She did all this for Huo Qiao!
But Huo Qiao couldn't even give up a mere 2% of the shares.
Why couldn't he think about her?
The disappointment and anger in her eyes couldn't be stopped.
But she forgot when she blamed Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiao had advised her to divorce since she was 10 years old.
She was unwilling and unwilling to admit Huo Qi Ting's change of heart. She
was also deceived by Huo Qi Ting's sweet words and was unwilling to escape from the whirlpool of the Huo family.
Huo Qiao was used to seeing the hatred and grievance on her face.
He curled his lips in mockery:
"Mom, I'm afraid your words don't count.
All the friends present are businessmen, and you should understand
how much my grandfather and uncle helped the Huo family 21 years ago.
If it weren't for the Cui family, the Huo family would have collapsed 21 years ago.
My surname is Huo, and I will never let people with ulterior motives drag the Huo family into a situation of betrayal and ungratefulness.
Mom, your surname is Cui, and we have to discuss this matter among the Huo family ourselves."
His words were full of sarcasm, and Cui Xianyue's face turned pale.
x "Bullshit! Shut up!" The
old man's angry voice and the sound of his cane hitting the ground rang out at the same time.
Huo Qiao put away the smile on his face and looked calmly at the sinister and cunning old man in front of him.
The place was unusually quiet, and everyone was waiting to see how this farce would end.
The head of the Xie family smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Huo Qiao is really sensible. Today is a festive day. Old Huo, why don't we go sit aside and let the young people talk among themselves."
Huo Qiao's eyelids twitched slightly. Did Xie An, the old fox, want to just make it go away?
That also depends on whether he is willing or not!
"No need..."
"Sir, didn't you hear Huo Qiao say that he and Xie Linyuan would not develop feelings for each other?"
The strange voice made everyone turn their heads suddenly.
Across the crowd, at the outermost edge stood a very tall and handsome young man.
Everyone was whispering, wondering where this stranger came from.
"What does it have to do with you? How dare you, a turtle, show up here? Get lost!"
Xie Linyuan suddenly flew into a rage.
Seeing his hysteria, Xie's father said coldly, "Linyuan, calm down."
"Xie Linyuan, I've already told you very clearly in Dongsu that I'm entertaining you for the sake of my uncle and the friendship between our families. Don't be ignorant."
Huo Qiao's voice suddenly became two tones colder.
He glanced at Pei Yuzhi almost undetectably, and said silently in his heart:
[I haven't asked the old man to tell the third thing yet, why did this guy show up at this time? ]
Pei Yuzhi sneered in his heart.
At this time, the whole world wants to eat him, but he still wants Huo's shares.
"This gentleman is not from Shanghai, he looks unfamiliar. Today is our Huo family's business, you, an outsider, should not interrupt."
Huo Qiting looked up and down at Pei Yuzhi with a scrutinizing look.
Pei Yuzhi smiled: "I am Huo Qiao's friend. If I hadn't heard something from Master Xie just now, I wouldn't be standing here rashly."
Many people's eyes suddenly turned to Xie Linyuan.
Xie Linyuan's face was blank. Damn, he just talked a lot with this Dongsu man, what was it?
Pei Yuzhi continued in a leisurely voice:
"Young Master Xie said that the condition for the marriage between the Xie and Huo families is that the Xie family will open a shipping route to the Huo family."
The smile on Huo Qiting's face faded visibly.
Xie's father stared at Xie Linyuan. This idiot actually dared to tell an outsider about family secrets!
"But as far as I know, Mr. Cui Xianxing is also a major shareholder in the construction of this shipping route.
Mr. Huo, the Xie family is committing fraud.
Mr. Cui Xianxing is Huo Qiao's uncle.
Even for Huo Qiao, this shipping route will not be denied to the Huo family.
Isn't the Xie family doing this to deliberately alienate the relationship between the Cui and Huo families?"
