Why should I not want it?
Huo Jiayuan glared at Pei Zhi, "Even a mosquito bite is still meat. You've given me such a tiny bit. If I take it back, then it'll all be Huo Jiaqian's."
Huo Jiayuan broke down and said, "It won't be long before I become a laughing stock in this industry!"
Pei Zhi didn't understand: "Why did it become a laughing stock?"
"I only got such a tiny bit of the Huo family's assets. They're laughing their heads off. You have no idea how many people dislike me!"
Huo Jiayuan felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he thought about this.
Many of Huo Jiayuan's friends flatter him, and some are genuinely supportive.
But most people would probably laugh at him if they found out.
Huo Jiayuan's tone became dejected: "I didn't know they would ridicule me like this."
Pei Zhi couldn't help but laugh at Huo Jiayuan's antics.
Huo Jiayuan looked at Pei Zhi in disbelief, "I'm so sad, how can you still laugh?"
After Pei Zhi laughed, she bent down and looked at Huo Jiayuan. "Believe me, no one will dare to laugh at you."
Huo Jiayuan didn't believe it. "How could that be? They're the best at kicking someone when they're down."
"The Huo family isn't that important to you. Your future support will be me and the Pei family."
"If anyone dares to laugh at you, you can fight back on the spot, and I'll clean up the mess for you."
Huo Jiayuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Pei Zhi to say these things to him.
Even his grandfather would only tell him not to bother with those fools.
Huo Jiayuan couldn't help but say, "Even if it's Xu Xingran, can I fight back?"
Huo Jiayuan was eager to know who was more important to Pei Zhi, him or Xu Xingran.
Huo Jiayuan never took Xu Xingran seriously; Xu Xingran was someone who couldn't be brought to the table.
But it's impossible for Huo Jiayuan not to mind.
Huo Jiayuan stared directly at Pei Zhi, clearly indicating that Pei Zhi had no way to change the subject.
"Anyone who makes you unhappy, you can hit them back."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jiayuan was finally satisfied.
Nevertheless, Huo Jiayuan remained depressed for several days.
I don't want to go out anymore, so I stay at home all day, either playing on my phone or playing games.
Pei Zhi had no choice but to ask Qu Miaoyu to take the lead in organizing a party.
Taking advantage of the weekend, everyone had a day off, so we went sea fishing together from the boat.
Most of the people invited were Huo Jiayuan's friends, and Pei Zhi personally accompanied Huo Jiayuan on the trip.
Huo Jiayuan forced himself to cheer up and boarded the ship with Pei Zhi.
Dozens of people arrived, and Huo Jiayuan's friends immediately surrounded him upon seeing him.
Pei Zhi felt relieved to see Huo Jiayuan chatting happily with his friends.
"Are you satisfied with this party?"
Pei Zhi's purpose was simply to bring Huo Jiayuan out to relax, "which is good."
"I don't understand either. It's the weekend, why don't you two just go on a date by yourselves? Why make such a fuss?"
It's not good for just two people to play together; why drag so many people along?
"Jiayuan is a person who likes lively atmospheres."
Huo Jiayuan was born to love being in the spotlight and enjoying excitement.
Qu Miaoyu made a nauseating gesture, "You're trying to act all sentimental right in front of me?"
Just as Pei Zhi was about to say something, she heard someone call her name, "Zhizhi."
When Pei Zhi saw that the person who came was Huo Jiaxi, she looked at Qu Miaoyu.
Qu Miaoyu didn't understand why Pei Zhi was staring at her like that.
Pei Zhi asked her to organize a party, but she didn't say that Huo Jiaxi couldn't come.
Pei Zhi politely replied, "You've arrived."
Huo Jiaxi said, "Grandpa knows I came out today to see you, so he asked me to call you home for dinner tonight."
Pei Zhi understood that the dinner was just a pretext; the real purpose was to ask for a favor. She suspected it was a trap.
Pei Zhi said she wouldn't make the decision, "Go ask Jia Yuan, I'll listen to him."
"Okay, I'll go ask him now."
Qu Miaoyu watched from the side, completely bewildered. Only after Huo Jiaxi left did she ask, "What happened?"
"Huo Jiaxi used to hate Huo Jiayuan so much, but today she actually went up to him and started talking to him?"
Since Qu Miaoyu was not an outsider, Pei Zhi spoke frankly.
"Old Master Huo announced his will, and Jia Yuan didn't even get to drink a bit of meat soup."
Pei Zhi gestured in Huo Jiaxi's direction, "She, who got to eat all the meat, naturally won't care about those minor details."
Qu Miaoyu finally understood.
After all the arguing, the family fortune is the most important thing.
Clearly, Huo Jiaxi won a resounding victory.
Qu Miaoyu asked curiously, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"What can I say? This is a matter for the Huo family." Pei Zhi said with a half-smile. "Do you think I would covet the Huo family's wealth?"
"I don't believe you really have no ulterior motives at all. Otherwise, what would you gain from marrying Huo Jiayuan?"
"Huo Jiayuan is neither as gentle and sensible as Xu Xingran, nor can he provide you with the same business assistance as Fu Shen."
Qu Miaoyu couldn't understand, "You married him because you were after his status as the young master of the Huo family?"
"Once the will is made public, he will be effectively dead as the young master."
What kind of young master of the Huo family is he if he can't even get a share of the Huo family's assets?
Pei Zhi rested her hand on the railing beside the cruise ship, the sea breeze blowing freely.
"What does it matter? The Huo family has been handed over to Huo Li. If Jia Yuan really wants it, I can get the company to change its ownership to Pei's within two years at most."
Pei Zhi and Huo Li had met many times in business.
It wouldn't be fair to describe Huo Li as a good-for-nothing; he's just someone who's not very bright.
Pei Zhi was incredibly adept at scheming against people like this.
Qu Miaoyu was about to say something when she heard the sound of arguing coming from the other side.
Pei Zhi and Qu Miaoyu quickly got up and went over. It turned out that Huo Jiayuan and Huo Jiaqian had another argument.
Huo Jiayuan said coldly, "I told you, I have something to do tonight, and I don't want to go home for dinner."
Needless to say, Huo Jiayuan knew that the excuse was that they were inviting him home for dinner.
We definitely need to ask him if he mentioned the collaboration.
These past few days, his grandfather has been calling him every day to ask about the company's cooperation.
Huo Jiayuan was thoroughly annoyed by the constant nagging, and he had finally seen through the true colors of his grandfather and aunt.
Grandpa was saying on the phone that he also had shares in the Huo family company, and that he would always be a part of the Huo family.
He can only prosper if the Huo family prospers.
Huo Jiayuan was so angry he almost laughed. Did he look like a fool?
Giving him such a small number of shares and expecting him to fight for the company's interests?
He even said things like the Huo family was his true backer and his eternal home.
If she truly considered him family, she wouldn't treat him like this.
Huo Jiaxi said earnestly, "Grandpa's health isn't very good. He sees the doctor every day. You are his most beloved grandson, and he really misses you."
