Old Master Huo, leaning on his cane, snorted.
"This is outrageous! Sisi has been discharged from the hospital, and her own mother hasn't even come?"
Huo Jiaxi spoke up for her mother, "Grandpa, there's a lot going on at the company, it's normal for Mom to be so busy that she forgets the time. Why don't we go back first?"
"I'll just send my mom a message later."
As soon as Huo Jiaxi finished speaking, Huo Li came running over, panting and carrying her bag.
"I'm sorry, Mom is late." Huo Li greeted Pei Zhi after her breathing had calmed down.
Pei Zhi gently shook hands with Huo Li and smelled the familiar perfume on Huo Li.
Although the smell was faint, Pei Zhi could still smell it immediately.
Of all the people she knew, only Itte used this perfume; it wasn't sold in China, it was from a niche brand.
Although Pei Zhi believed in Ite's abilities, he still admired Ite's speed.
Huo Li explained that a company meeting was held late last night, so he overslept this morning.
The old man was no longer angry, and the group got into the car and returned to the Huo family's old house.
Since they were picking up Huo Jiaxi from the hospital, they naturally had to have lunch at the Huo family's house.
Once home, Pei Zhi and Huo Li went to the study to discuss the aquarium.
The old man went to take his medicine, leaving only Huo Jiayuan and Huo Jiaxi.
"I'm sorry about your burn."
Huo Jiaxi raised an eyebrow in surprise; she hadn't expected Huo Jiayuan to apologize to her.
Huo Jiaxi had just woken up and noticed that she had suddenly gone bald.
I really wish I could devour Huo Jiayuan alive.
But later, I listened to my grandfather and mother analyze the pros and cons.
Huo Jiaxi also knew how much money Pei Zhi had paid for her injury, and Huo Jiaxi suddenly felt less hatred towards Huo Jiayuan.
The doctor assured Huo Jiaxi that her wound would be completely healed within six months to a year, leaving no scars at all.
Although she suffered a bit, she received such a large sum of money, so Huo Jiaxi no longer felt that Huo Jiayuan was despicable.
Huo Jiaxi shrugged and said, "There's nothing to apologize for. Anyway, Pei Zhi has already paid for it for you."
"One thing at a time. I pushed you back then, which is why you got hurt."
Huo Jiayuan was provoked by Huo Jiaxi, which is why he lost control of his strength.
From childhood to adulthood, Huo Jiaxi and Huo Jiayuan have argued countless times.
This was the first time Huo Jiaxi had heard Huo Jiayuan apologize so sincerely.
Huo Jiaxi looked at Huo Jiayuan with suspicion, "Are you still Huo Jiayuan? Did someone replace your soul?"
Huo Jiaxi said warily, "Let me tell you, even if you apologize to me, I can't return the money Pei Zhi paid. I can't make that decision."
Huo Jiayuan said calmly, "I didn't mean that. You're overthinking it."
The money that Pei Zhi took out of her pocket went into the Huo family's company; how could it possibly be returned?
Huo Jiaxi had a strange feeling. How could she have discovered that Huo Jiayuan had suddenly grown up overnight?
Huo Jiaxi thought for a moment and then understood.
Huo Jiayuan always believed that the Huo family was his true backer.
Not only did her grandfather not give Huo Jiayuan any property, but he also took advantage of her injury to betray her.
Everyone has to grow up eventually.
Huo Jiaxi was a beneficiary of the existing system, and she had no intention of showing off.
"I can't comment much on Pei Zhi's other aspects, but she's impeccable when it comes to you."
Huo Jiaxi couldn't help but give Huo Jiayuan a piece of advice, "Just be a good husband to Pei Zhi, and no one will dare to give you a hard time in the future."
Huo Jiaxi knew about Pei Zhi and Fu Shen's affair.
But Pei Zhi was willing to spend so much money on Huo Jiayuan, so Huo Jiaqian didn't believe there wasn't genuine affection between them.
Huo Jiayuan looked at Huo Jiaxi calmly, "You're all saying that."
Huo Jiayuan's father also told Huo Jiayuan to be honest, not to throw tantrums, and to be obedient.
Pei Zhi treats him very well; he should be content and stop making a fuss.
The more Huo Jiayuan said this, the more frustrated he felt.
He no longer had the confidence to vent his anger on Pei Zhi, nor did he dare to follow her in causing trouble.
He had lost his support and had no way out.
"No one in this world is without hardship."
Huo Jiaxi pointed to the top of her head and her scarred arms.
"Look at me, even with this perm, I can still talk to you nicely as long as the money is right."
Huo Jiaxi said earnestly, "In this world, money is the most important thing. Once you understand this, everything else becomes less important."
Huo Jiaxi said these words entirely from the bottom of her heart.
Whether Pei Zhi loves him or not, whether Pei Zhi has other men outside, none of these things matter.
Importantly, Pei Zhi is generous; she is willing to spend money on Huo Jiayuan.
Of course, Huo Jiaxi said these things with a purpose.
Even if Huo Jiayuan has a terrible falling out with the Huo family, he is still a member of the Huo family.
As long as Huo Jiayuan remains Pei Zhi's husband, the Huo family has a trump card when negotiating business with Pei Zhi.
If Huo Jiayuan really can't see the light, there are plenty of people outside who would want to be Pei Zhi's husband.
"What's the point of having so much money? After someone dies, isn't it all just a quick matter of getting into a coffin and leaving?"
Huo Jiaxi was so angry at Huo Jiayuan that she laughed.
"Hmm, you're right." Huo Jiaxi rolled her eyes.
Huo Jiayuan was unenlightened, and Huo Jiaxi was too lazy to try to persuade him.
Anyway, Grandpa has already distributed the Huo family's assets.
What happens to Huo Jiayuan is none of her business.
Upstairs, while Huo Li was talking to Pei Zhi, the phone rang. Huo Li made an apologetic gesture to Pei Zhi and went to the side to answer the call.
Pei Zhi sat in the chair, listening to Huo Li occasionally say a few words in English and then a few words in Chinese.
I understand. The person who called was probably It.
After a few minutes on the phone, Huo Li returned with a smile on his face.
Pei Zhi feigned congratulations, "It seems there's something going on with President Huo?"
Huo Li didn't hide anything, "I recently met a very interesting foreign guy."
"She has a good eye, speaks well, and knows how to make people happy."
After her first marriage ended, Huo Li never remarried.
But the men around her have never stopped.
Pei Zhi smiled and said, "If you have time, why don't you bring him over to meet us?"
Huo Li shook her head, "Forget it, they're not important people, and we don't even know how long this will last."
Pei Zhi realized that Huo Li was still somewhat wary of this Yi Te.
That's understandable, though. If Huo Li were that easily swayed, she wouldn't deserve the title of vice president.
"The first batch of funds for the aquarium has been almost spent. I wonder when President Pei will receive the second batch of funds?"
"The finance department has already been contacted, and the money should arrive before the end of the workday this afternoon."
With Pei Zhi's words, Huo Li felt relieved.
