Isn't that a coincidence?
"This is the first time you've visited the construction site since the aquarium was built."
Qu Miaoyu mocked, "So, as soon as you arrived, it collapsed. Did you bring bad luck with you?"
Pei Zhi pretended not to notice the sarcasm in Qu Miaoyu's words.
Pei Zhi asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that President Pei is very shrewd and has tricked the Huo family a lot. If President Pei wants, Huo Li can go to jail at any time."
The aquarium has now collapsed, and it's not something that can be resolved simply by paying compensation.
So many people have been injured; all we need to do is hold Pei Zhi accountable.
We should get a professional to check. Pei Zhi invested so much money, and all she got was a shoddy project.
Once professionals arrive, they can immediately spot the discrepancies in the accounts.
Huo Li falsified accounts, causing so many people to be injured; it's impossible for him not to go to jail.
Once Huo Li entered, Huo Jiaxi was still insignificant. Who in the Huo family could take charge?
But now, it all depends on Pei Zhi's decision.
To put it simply, the fate of the Huo family now rests on Pei Zhi's decision.
"What did you say? I don't understand."
Even in front of her own sister, Pei Zhi refused to admit these things.
"I just happened to be running errands nearby today, and then I heard that the aquarium used foreign technology to build its roof. I was curious, so I came to take a look."
Qu Miaoyu shrugged. Pei Zhi was unwilling to admit it, and Qu Miaoyu was too lazy to ask further.
"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, I'll head back to the company now. Assistant Gao is swamped with work, I need to go help her."
Pei Zhi waved her hand, dismissing Qu Miaoyu.
Pei Zhi had received many concerned messages on her phone. After replying to a few important people individually, she posted a message on her WeChat Moments to let them know she was safe.
Next, Pei Zhi had to wait for the Huo family's attitude.
As Pei Zhi had imagined, the Huo family would return the money they had taken from her.
Then, since Huo Jiayuan was behaving himself, she didn't want to delve any further.
Pei Zhi already has enough to manage with the Pei family; there's no need for her to acquire the Huo family and add to her burden.
Huo Jiayuan received a call from Huo Jiaxi on his way to the hospital.
Huo Jiaxi was crying uncontrollably on the phone.
Grandpa suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital, and Aunt was also taken away.
Huo Jiaxi was all alone, completely lost, and the only person she could think of was Huo Jiayuan.
Huo Jiayuan told Huo Jiaxi to calm down. He would go to the hospital to see Pei Zhi first, and then go to find Huo Jiaxi.
When Huo Jiayuan arrived at the ward, he saw Pei Zhi sitting on the bed playing on her phone.
Although his hand was bandaged, he looked to be in good spirits.
"Are you alright? Have you had a full medical check-up?"
Huo Jiayuan circled around Pei Zhi, his eyes filled with undisguised worry.
Pei Zhi put away her phone. "What, are you worried about me?"
"You're already divorcing me, and you're still worried about me?"
Huo Jiayuan couldn't help but reach out and pat Pei Zhi's arm, "At a time like this, don't joke with me."
"I'm fine." Pei Zhi shook her head. "It's just a small injury on my arm, nothing serious."
Huo Jiayuan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled over a chair to sit down.
Pei Zhi looked at Huo Jiayuan, who was covered in sweat, and asked, "What's the rush? Are you really afraid I'll die?"
Huo Jiayuan glared at Pei Zhi, "You really can say anything."
Pei Zhi reminded Huo Jiayuan, "I'm fine, but the Huo family is probably in bigger trouble right now."
Huo Jiayuan then remembered what Huo Jiaxi had said to him on the way here.
"My aunt has been taken away."
Pei Zhi nodded, "So many people were injured this time, it's normal for her to be taken away."
Huo Jiayuan asked, "Will Auntie go to jail?"
Pei Zhi pondered for a moment, "Do you want her to go to jail?"
"What do you mean?" Huo Jiayuan didn't quite understand.
"Do you want to become the head of the Huo family?"
"Me?" Huo Jiayuan pointed to himself. "Don't joke around. How could I be qualified?"
After Huo Jiayuan finished speaking, he chuckled self-deprecatingly twice.
The family's assets have all been divided up. How can Huo Jiayuan, with his meager possessions, possibly become the head of the Huo family?
“If Huo Li goes to jail, the old man is too old to help, but Huo Jiaxi is still young. With me as your support, all you need to do now is say whether you want to or not.”
Pei Zhi wasn't bragging; the Huo family was now firmly in Pei Zhi's grasp.
As long as Huo Jiayuan nods and says he wants it, Pei Zhi can be delivered to Huo Jiayuan.
Of course, correspondingly, Huo Jiayuan also needs to pay a little price for what he gets.
Huo Jiayuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively, "I don't want to."
For a moment, Pei Zhi thought she was hallucinating. "You don't want it?"
Huo Jiayuan nodded bluntly: "Yes, I don't want to."
"On the surface, it seems very tempting, but I have a pretty good idea that I can't afford it."
"Moreover, I also know my own limitations. Can I really manage a large company well?" Huo Jiayuan was clear about his own abilities.
Huo Jiayuan was not raised as an heir from a young age.
His skills in eating, drinking, and having fun have absolutely nothing to do with managing a company.
"OK."
Huo Jiayuan doesn't want it, and Pei Zhi won't force him to have it.
Pei Zhi spoke frankly and directly: "Now that Huo Li has been taken away, I'm the only one who can save the Huo family. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Pei Zhi didn't beat around the bush with Huo Jiayuan.
She wanted Huo Jiayuan to know that she was the only one who could save the Huo family.
