Chapter 122
In that case, it would have been better if Wen Xin had sold out Marshal Huo from the very beginning.
As the saying goes, distance makes things smell better, while closeness makes things smell worse. Every day, Commander Huo saw his second concubine and Huo Jingfeng, and the resentment in his heart could not be dispelled. It accumulated more and more until he could no longer tolerate them. That would be the end for the mother and son!
Marshal Huo sighed inwardly. What a wonderful young girl! Huo Jingfeng, that foolish son, doesn't know how lucky he is. He'll regret it later!
Huo Jingzhou suddenly spoke up: "I'll take her to stay at my mansion."
General Huo almost lost his composure, looking at his eldest son with a complicated expression. Could Sima Zhao's intentions be any more obvious?
But no one knew what the eldest son had done to the girl. The girl had no suspicion of him at all and listened to him very well. She nodded her little head and said that this was good and that she wanted to go with him.
Commander Huo: I'm suffocating!
Commander Huo almost grabbed the little girl's hand and told her, "That's a big bad wolf who's after you!"
But... that's his own son!
Brother Wen, I'm so sorry!
Unaware of anything amiss, Wen Xin said to Commander Huo, "Uncle Huo, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you again when I have time."
Commander Huo looked at the little girl with a heavy heart, feeling overwhelmed with guilt. He could only tell her not to rush back to Biancheng, but to stay in Haicheng and not to be shy about asking him for anything she wanted.
Wen Xin obediently agreed.
Seeing that Commander Huo was holding onto the little white rabbit, Huo Jingzhou frowned slightly and stepped forward to pull Wen Xin behind him. "I'll take her back to the mansion to rest first."
Commander Huo glared at his eldest son with his fierce eyes, then said affectionately to Wen Xin, "It's getting late, Xin, why don't you stay for dinner?"
Huo Shaoshuai, showing no respect for his father, said indifferently, "Do you think she can eat here right now?"
Marshal Huo: "..." The traitor!
Wen Xin quietly tugged at Huo Jingzhou's sleeve, signaling him to stop adding fuel to the fire.
Without any hesitation, Huo Jingzhou took the girl's soft hand and led her directly outside, making Huo Dashuai's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
That eldest son is a beast!
The second concubine and the others almost dropped their jaws.
No, it can't be what they think, right?
That's impossible!
How could Huo Jingzhou, a cold-blooded and ruthless man, possibly have feelings for a woman, who was once his younger brother's fiancée?
But it seems that there are traces to be found.
Huo Jingzhou is always decisive and efficient. This time, he stayed in Biancheng for so long, and I heard that he helped the Wen family with the funeral and personally brought Wen Xin back to Haicheng... This is clearly not something he would do.
It's better to hope for a miracle than to expect a living Yama to show mercy!
Huo Jingfeng had only said a few bad things about Wen Xin, and he was almost beaten to death.
The taciturn Huo Jingzhou spoke only to defend her...
With such special treatment, it's hard to believe that Huo Jingzhou had no feelings for the eldest daughter of the Wen family.
The second concubine almost ground her teeth to powder, cursing Wen Xin in her heart for being a shameless vixen who shamelessly seduced her future brother-in-law, and resenting Huo Jingzhou for trying to take everything from her.
He is the young marshal of the Huo family and controls the Huo family's military power. What could he possibly be dissatisfied with?
Why would he even try to steal his son's fiancée?
This is outrageous!
But now Marshal Huo is very dissatisfied with them, mother and son, and the second concubine must be crazy to dare to cause trouble again.
Besides, she couldn't afford to offend Huo Jingzhou!
No, we can't let Wen Xin really be with Huo Jingzhou. We have to find a way to get her to remarry Jing Feng.
The Wen family's enormous wealth could only belong to them, mother and son!
Of the entire Huo family, only Huo Jingfeng, the male protagonist, hasn't realized that his fiancée is about to become his sister-in-law.
He watched Wen Xin's departing figure with a somewhat lost expression, feeling that she shouldn't have treated him like that.
If he had known she was so well-educated, gentle, and beautiful, why would he have broken off the engagement with her?
This is actually a misunderstanding!
"snort!"
Commander Huo snorted coldly.
Huo Jingfeng trembled and looked awkwardly at his father, "Dad, I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
As a father, Huo Jingfeng knew exactly what kind of shit he wanted to poop the moment he stuck out his butt, and warned him with utter disgust:
"You were the one who insisted on breaking off the engagement, so you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. Xiaoxin has nothing to do with you now. I advise you to be sensible, or your father won't be able to save you later."
Given the eldest son's rebellious nature, if this second son ever dares to harass a young girl again, he will definitely be shot dead by his elder brother.
But Huo Jingfeng didn't understand his father's meaning; he only thought that his father no longer wanted Wen Xin to marry him.
Huo Jingfeng felt empty inside.
However, he will not give up.
As long as he explains the misunderstanding to Wen Xin and shows her his sincerity, she will definitely be willing to come back to him.
Commander Huo: "..."
Damn it, this silly goose is probably beyond saving.
I wonder if, in the future, when he pleads with his eldest son, the eldest son might spare the life of his second son... oh no, his second fool, out of consideration for him?
Being a dad is really too difficult!
...
In the car, Wen Xin looked somewhat lost and forlorn.
Huo Jingzhou's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, he's not worth it."
Wen Xin looked at him and gently shook her head, "I'm not sad because of Young Master Huo."
The anger that had been building up in Huo Jingzhou's chest dissipated. "Then what happened?"
Wen Xin lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "I used to think that Haicheng would be my second home, but now..."
Huo Jingzhou said in a deep voice, "If you're willing, you can have it."
Wen Xin didn't understand his implied meaning and said bitterly, "I have no relatives or friends in Haicheng, how can I stay here for long?"
Huo Jingzhou suddenly leaned closer to her, looking into her eyes, "No relatives or friends? Where do you put me?"
His sudden approach startled Wen Xin, who instinctively leaned back, but her back was already pressed firmly against the car seat back.
"Young...Young Marshal!"
Looking at the aloof and handsome man before her, Wen Xin's almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears, and she stammered as she called out to him.
Huo Jingzhou's deep eyes were fixed on her. "In your heart, am I nothing?"
“No,” Wen Xin quickly denied, “I’ve never thought of that.”
Huo Jingzhou: "So you said you have no relatives or friends?"
Wen Xin bit her lip, looking very disappointed. "But I've already dissolved my engagement with the Huo family."
Her biggest connection with Huo Jingzhou was that he was supposed to be her future brother-in-law, wasn't it?
Now, although Marshal Huo treats her like his own niece, the Wen family and the Huo family are no longer comparable. How could Wen Xin keep troubling them and squandering the goodwill of her father's generation?
Besides, feelings will fade sooner or later.
Rather than ending up hating each other, it's better for her to be sensible and distance herself first, so that they can leave a good impression on each other.
