Chapter 289 The Same Stupidity



“It’s Pei Zhi’s choice to do this. If you’re jealous of me, go find someone like me.”

After Huo Jiayuan finished speaking, he pretended to let slip, "Oh, I forgot, you've always liked Fu Shen from the Fu family, but he won't even give you a second glance."

"Heh." Huo Jiaxi sneered. "Fu Shen doesn't like me. He's blind. The entire Huo family will be mine in the future. I'm not happy with keeping dozens of men on the side. Why should I hang myself on one tree?"

"I'm still here. What makes you think the Huo family belongs to you?"

Huo Jiayuan said with dissatisfaction, "Furthermore, besides you and me, how many other brothers and sisters does the Huo family have? Do you really think they don't exist?"

"Alright." The head of the Huo family was so frustrated by the commotion that his head was throbbing.

"Jiayuan, say less."

Huo Jiayuan said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, why do you want me to say less? She was the one who started it by hurting me."

The head of the Huo family ignored all of this, saying, "You're already married. Stop coming home all the time. What will the Pei family say about you? What will they think of the Huo family?"

"What you need to do now is take good care of Pei Zhi and not be as willful and temperamental as you were at home before."

Huo Jiayuan suddenly lost his appetite. Why did he suddenly feel that after getting married, he could hardly even go home anymore?

A commotion arose outside the door, and Huo Jiayuan seemed to hear Pei Zhi's voice.

Pei Zhi and Huo Jiaxi's mother, Huo Li, walked in side by side.

Huo Li stood half a step behind Pei Zhi to show her respect.

When the head of the Huo family saw Pei Zhi, he immediately stood up from his chair.

"Didn't Jia Yuan say you were busy? Why did you come over?"

Pei Zhi glanced at Huo Jiayuan first, smiled at him, and then answered the Huo family head's question.

"I was talking to President Huo about work today. He told me that Jia Yuan went home for dinner, so I shamelessly came over for a meal and also to pick up Jia Yuan to get the car later."

Huo Jiayuan asked excitedly, "The car has arrived?"

Mr. Huo asked curiously, "Get the car? Jia Yuan, you bought another car? You already have so many cars, why did you buy another one? Can you even drive them all? You're just wasting money."

"It arrived yesterday, you'll see it in a bit."

Pei Zhi answered Huo Jiayuan's question first, and then answered Huo's father, "This car is a gift from me to him, not something Jiayuan bought."

Huo Jiayuan said to Huo Jiaxi, "There are only a handful of people in the world who own a Bugatti La."

Huo Jiaxi rolled her eyes. With Pei Zhi there, Huo Jiaxi couldn't say anything too offensive.

After all, Huo Jiaxi's mother, Huo Li, was half a head shorter than Pei Zhi.

Moreover, it's her.

Mr. Huo asked worriedly, "How much will this car cost?"

Pei Zhi replied, "Dad, it's a sports car, it's not worth much money."

Huo Jiaxi asked Pei Zhi, "From the time this car was first delivered to the time it was transported here, it must have cost at least 1.3, right?"

Huo Li exclaimed in surprise, "Thirteen million for a car? That's quite expensive indeed."

Huo Jiaxi scoffed, "Mom, I meant 1.3, and the unit after that is 100 million."

Mr. Huo stood up excitedly: "What?"

"A car costs over 100 million? Even a car made of gold wouldn't be this expensive, would it?"

Huo Li clicked her tongue in amazement, "Really that expensive?"

Huo Jiaxi nodded slightly, "I underestimated the price, and there are taxes and other miscellaneous expenses to pay, so it's definitely more than that."

The head of the Huo family coughed. "Alright, let's not worry about their affairs. Let's eat."

Huo Jiayuan felt refreshed and invigorated by Pei Zhi's arrival.

After finishing her meal, Pei Zhi went upstairs to discuss matters with the Huo family head and President Huo.

As soon as they left, Huo's father grabbed Huo Jiayuan and said, "You're so insensible. You just got married and you're already asking Pei Zhi for such an expensive gift."

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you before we got married?"

Huo Jiayuan muttered, "She gave it to me willingly, it's not like I asked for it."

Mr. Huo just sighed, "Don't ask for such expensive gifts in the future. Pei Zhi works hard outside, so you should be more sensible."

Huo Jiayuan replied impatiently, "I know, I know."

When Huo Jiayuan went upstairs, he bumped into Huo Jiaxi.

This time, Huo Jiayuan, like a victorious rooster, blocked Huo Jiaxi's path.

Huo Jiaxi glared at Huo Jiayuan: "A good dog doesn't block the way."

Huo Jiayuan said smugly, "You see? Pei Zhi and I are getting along very well. Stop speculating about us."

It's just that Huo Jiayuan doesn't have a tail behind him, otherwise he would really be flying high.

Huo Jiaxi had just been scolded by her grandfather, who meant that she should be more polite to Huo Jiayuan.

In recent years, under Pei Zhi's leadership, the Pei family has been thriving.

This collaboration with the Pei family was made possible by Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi's marriage.

In the future, the Huo family will probably make demands of Pei Zhi again.

Tell Huo Jiaxi to be polite to Huo Jiayuan, because you'll inevitably need Huo Jiayuan to speak up in the future.

Huo Jiaxi was already feeling very aggrieved after being scolded.

Huo Jiayuan even came to her door to show off.

Since that's the case, Huo Jiaxi doesn't intend to be polite anymore.

Huo Jiaxi gave a sarcastic smile. "Before your wedding with Pei Zhi, I went to Fu Shen's company. Guess what I saw?"

"What do you mean?" Huo Jiayuan didn't understand.

Huo Jiaxi lowered her head and whispered in Huo Jiayuan's ear, "I saw Pei Zhi come out of Fu Shen's office."

"Huo Jiaxi, are you out of your mind? What's wrong with Pei Zhi coming out of Fu Shen's office?"

Huo Jiayuan scoffed, "Does that mean Fu Shen's office is yours to keep private? Nobody else can go in?"

Huo Jiaxi originally planned to tell Huo Jiayuan about her concerns.

But seeing Huo Jiayuan's ungrateful attitude, Huo Jiaxi suddenly decided to stop talking.

That day, Huo Jiaxi watched Pei Zhi walk out of Fu Shen's office, and then Fu Shen canceled all the meetings that afternoon.

Huo Jiaxi listened outside the door; it seemed that Fu Shen had smashed quite a few things in the office.

Fu Shen was always gentle and refined, so why did he smash things after Pei Zhi left?

If the two of them were truly in a cooperative relationship, Fu Shen would never have acted this way.

Huo Jiaxi patted Huo Jiayuan on the shoulder, "Jiayuan, you're still the same as when you were a child."

Huo Jiaxi whispered in Huo Jiayuan's ear, "Just as stupid, stupidly cute."

Huo Jiaxi was no longer willing to remind Huo Jiayuan. She looked forward to the day when Huo Jiayuan would discover it himself. Wouldn't that be more interesting?

"You're the stupid one." Huo Jiayuan wasn't one to take a loss lying down. "Huo Jiaxi, you're just as vicious as you were when you were little. Someone like you will never be truly loved by anyone in your life."

Huo Jiaxi shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "It doesn't matter, I have enough money."
