The butler was Su Xiaoyue and Su Xiaoxue's father. Huo Ting still gave him some face, so he answered the phone. But that little bit of face vanished immediately when he heard Huo Ting advising him to go back.
Then it was Huo Laoda and his wife who took turns bombarding him.
They also realized that the old man's health was failing and that he would definitely appoint the next head of the Huo family as soon as possible. The eldest brother and his brothers were all equally incompetent, and because of the internal strife, they were losing face in front of the old man. His relationship with his second brother had also deteriorated rapidly, and now none of them would submit to the other.
He had no hope, but the old man had always admired his son. He always believed that as long as his son returned, even if he couldn't become the head of the family, he could at least become the retired emperor.
Huo Ting... Huo Ting hung up and blocked her directly, and then forced Su Xiaoyue to do the same.
In the dead of night, Su Xiaoyue unblocked a number from her blacklist and whispered to the other person under the covers.
"Dad, Ting-ge and the eldest young master won't let me answer your calls. I can only call you after they fall asleep."
Butler Su could tell from his voice that he was a rigid middle-aged man, and said coldly, "Xiaoyue, find a way to persuade the young master to come back."
Su Xiaoyue didn't want to go back, nor did she want Huo Ting to go back, because if they did, she would definitely never have another chance to be Huo Ting's wife. Back then, Madam Huo liked her sister so much, but when she found out that Huo Ting was with her sister, she still turned her back on her without any mercy.
But she wouldn't argue with her father, only obediently giving an ambiguous answer: "I'll try my best."
A muffled cough came from the other end of the phone. Su Xiaoyue was taken aback and subconsciously recalled her words just now, but then she heard the housekeeper say, "We must bring the person back."
Su Xiaoyue said aggrievedly, "Dad, I also want the eldest young master to go back, so that I can go back and take care of you, but the eldest young master will never listen to me."
"No matter what means you use, you must bring him back."
Another aged voice broke in, sounding like it was about to decay, yet still rigid and cold: "Just say I'm dying. If he doesn't come back, he shouldn't come back for the rest of his life. Just pretend the Huo family doesn't have this unfilial descendant."
Su Xiaoyue stammered in agreement.
Butler Su: "If he doesn't come back, you shouldn't come back either."
Once the other end of the phone call was over, she couldn't hold back any longer. She kicked off the covers and silently pounded the mattress, taking a long breath of fresh air. Her face was flushed, whether from frustration or anger.
She gritted her teeth, panting heavily, and shouted angrily through the air: "You all know how to make things difficult for me. You all think you're superior to others. You can't do anything about him, so you come and mess with me. If you're so capable, why don't you come and kidnap him yourselves?"
"...You old fool, if you don't hand the Huo family over to Brother Ting, who else do you think you can give it to? A bunch of good-for-nothings, do you even dare to steal Brother Ting's things?"
