Chapter 45 I cut ties with the Huo family
"Grandpa, are you discussing this with me or informing me?" His tone was indifferent, as if he was extremely disappointed.
"Since you understand, please sign it."
The old man put the agreement in front of him.
"Mr. Huo!" Qiao Xi grabbed his hand, "No one can force you."
She watched him lose one thing after another that belonged to him.
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and looked at the vigorous and capable old man. "I have something in my hand."
He took out the recorder, placed it in front of Mr. Huo, and clicked play.
This was the truth Huo Beiting told Jin Kai that night when he was drunk. It was his own voice alone: "I...the car accident was planned by me."
"Why didn't he die? It's good to be a cripple."
"Huo Xingzhou should have died long ago. Zhuo Feng... hehe Zhuo Feng is also mine."
Huo Weiguo's old face turned increasingly ashen, and he sullenly said, "Drunk nonsense is not evidence."
"If I give it to the media, they'll definitely make a big fuss about it," Huo Xingzhou said. "Justice prevails. My family also has poison powder prepared by Zhuo Feng, so I'm afraid Huo Beiting is definitely involved."
He knew very well that this could not be presented as evidence in court, and the secretly recorded recording of him while drunk could only threaten the old man.
"Are you threatening me? You really don't want to give up 5% of the shares? You know the consequences of disobeying me. There are more than one person in the second house." The old man was furious.
"I know Grandpa's abilities. I can sign that agreement, but there's a condition."
His fingers nimbly played with the pen as he spoke calmly, "I want to sever ties with the Huo family! From now on, the Huo in Huo Xingzhou's name is no longer the Huo family's Huo!"
Qiao Xi's ears were buzzing.
He wants to leave the family!
This is what he said was shocking.
The old man was furious: "Huo Xingzhou! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I want to cut ties with the Huo family."
His eyes were cold, like the flowers on the ridge of the mountain, noble, distant and resolute.
Huo Weiguo was so angry that he covered his chest. "Our Huo family's century-old ancestral precepts stipulate that those who betray the family will be severely punished by family law. Kill with a stick, and sever blood ties! All the glory and power of the Huo family have nothing to do with him!"
"I was born into the Huo family. I have been blessed by the family since I was a child and have also made sacrifices for the family. Only this bloodline cannot be washed away! If the family rules are applied to me, I will be killed or beaten, and I owe it to you!" Huo Xingzhou's eyes were cold.
"You...you! Butler, I'll punish you according to the family rules!" He shouted sternly, "Give it to me!"
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then ran to the ancestral hall. It had been years since the family had been disciplined. Something big was about to happen to the Huo family!
"The Second Young Master wants to break off the relationship!"
"Second Young Master really wants to sever ties with the Huo family?"
The Huo family was in a state of panic. Wang Fengxian hid outside the door and watched the excitement.
The housekeeper carefully brought out the killing stick. This stick was made of willow wood, more than half a foot long, and was painted with bright red varnish, shining brightly.
The old man of the Huo family took it and asked angrily, "Think it over carefully. There is no turning back!"
"Please ask grandpa to write a letter of severance by hand and press his fingerprint to avoid you regretting it." Huo Xingzhou straightened his back, still provoking him.
"well!"
Huo Weiguo, enraged, scribbled a few words on a piece of paper and pen, signed it with a red fingerprint, and threw the paper at Huo Xingzhou, who also signed the "Share Donation Agreement."
"Huo Xingzhou, don't regret it!" No matter how partial the old man was, he always doted on Huo Xingzhou.
It is so disheartening that he only protects the first wife and attacks the second wife.
"Come and fight!"
Huo Xingzhou raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches.
"No! Old sir, Huo Xingzhou is still injured and cannot fight!" Qiao Xi said anxiously.
"Qiao Xi, go out first." Huo Xingzhou pushed her away.
"I'm not leaving."
Qiao Xi opened her arms and stood in front of him, like a hen protecting her chicks.
"Get out of here!"
The stick has no eyes. In anger, the old man hit Huo Xingzhou indiscriminately.
Muffled sound.
Again and again.
Qiao Xi hugged Huo Xingzhou and blocked it for him.
"Qiao Xi, get out of the way!" Huo Xingzhou regretted bringing her here.
"I don't want it!"
Qiao Xi was stubborn and protected him even more closely.
"Mr. Huo, husband and wife are one. You've done so much for me, and I want to do something for you that will satisfy you!"
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
She thought he was so stupid. There were obviously worse and more cruel ways to avoid suffering this.
But he chose to leave the Huo family with dignity.
Even though she knew this was his plan, she still felt bad.
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, blocking the old man's rain of sticks.
"Huo Xingzhou!" The old man panted, "If you admit your mistake, I can still take back what I said."
Huo Xingzhou's fingers were trembling with paleness. "My family harmed me, bullied me, and even you were an accomplice. What do you want me to admit to?"
"Don't regret it!"
The rare warmth and guidance that grandparents had in their childhood were all shattered by sticks!
In Huo Xingzhou's heart, those things were forcibly taken away.
He cut off all ties in the most decisive way.
…
Wang Fengxian was watching excitedly outside the door, and she called Huo Beiting with a gloating look on her face: "Huo Xingzhou is courting death. He angered the old man and he's going to punish him! Come back and watch the show!"
She looks really refreshed today.
beat!
It would be better to beat that cripple to death!
Bang!
The old man gasped and threw the willow stick in his hand aside.
Huo Xingzhou's back was stained with blood, his white shirt stained. His face was pale, his fingers tightly gripping the sides of his wheelchair. Qiao Xi was also injured, but she looked much better.
Huo Xingzhou folded the letter of severance and put it in his inner pocket.
He said stubbornly, "Your illness seems to be getting worse. You don't even have the strength to hit someone."
"You..." The old man almost fainted from anger.
"If one day someone can cure your cold, what price are you willing to pay?" Huo Xingzhou asked in a deep voice.
He wanted to collect some interest in advance for the beating Qiao Xi received today.
The old man looked at him, regained his composure and said, "I will reward you handsomely and treat you as a distinguished guest."
Huo Xingzhou asked again, "What if you asked your beloved, the eldest wife of the Huo family, to kneel and kowtow?"
"Filial piety is the most important virtue! They should kneel down to seek medical treatment for their elders."
"Remember what you said." Huo Xingzhou reached out and held Qiao Xi's hand and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
Mr. Huo was so angry that he kept coughing: "If you leave, cough cough... don't come back!"
Qiao Xi pushed Huo Xingzhou's wheelchair and walked out step by step. She seemed to have a new understanding of Huo Xingzhou, a man of integrity, principle and bottom line.
Full of affection, righteousness, flesh and blood.
When I walked out of the living room, the three members of the Huo family's eldest wife's family were all there.
Wang Fengxian, picking at her bright red nails, said, "Our Huo family hasn't had an unfilial son in decades. Xingzhou, you're really confused."
Huo Jianjun said hypocritically: "We are all family, why are you so impulsive!"
Huo Beiting felt relieved and extremely proud. "You're really digging your own grave! Isn't it just 5% of the shares? Is there any need to fight for it? Next month is Grandpa's 70th birthday, and the founder of Tianyuan Group will be there too. It's a double celebration!"
"Huo Xingzhou, this grand event has nothing to do with you! From now on, I am the rich and powerful in Haicheng, and you are the abandoned child of the family, an ordinary lowly person! We are worlds apart!"
Huo Beiting said loudly, "I have plenty of ways to kill you!"
