Although Huo Jin said he believed her, he still decided to place some people around Lu Qingyan and the other two to observe them for a while longer.
"Take the three of them back to the old house, and hire a few more people to take care of them." Huo Jin narrowed his eyes: "The Huo family is so big and powerful, we don't care about keeping a few more idle people."
So, Lu Qingyan and the other two fish had a temporary home on land, or perhaps it could be said that they were adopted.
The Huo family's old house is truly ancient; it's a house that has stood for hundreds of years.
When Lu Qingyan and her two companions entered the quaint courtyard, they were stunned. It was completely different from what they had seen when they arrived.
Xiaoxiao was excited and wanted to say something, but seeing many strangers coming and going around her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Xiao Hong shrank back to Lu Qingyan and Xiao Xiao in fear. Well, she no longer found Huo Jin scary, because everyone here was similar to him. She didn't know if it was because she had seen so many people, but she felt a little better.
Those around them, seeing their bewildered expressions like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, didn't show any disdain.
As Lu Qingyan and her two companions were walking to the side, a furious voice suddenly rang out. Accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps, everyone could clearly see the figure shouting, "You little beast, you're letting people talk nonsense outside! Those people are going to cause trouble for your brother!"
When he came over, he found that Huo Jin was nowhere to be seen, and an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Where is Huo Jinren?" he demanded.
Huo Jin hasn't appeared for a long time; he must have a lot of things to deal with, so of course he wouldn't be here right now.
Mr. Huo is getting old. Although he still has the same bad temper, he no longer resorts to violence as easily as he did when he was young.
Besides, Huo Jin has quite a few men under his command, so protecting the three girls at the old house would be no problem at all.
However… now that Mr. Huo had seen Lu Qingyan and the other two, his old lecherous habit kicked in again, and he smiled and reached out his hand to the three of them: “Come here!”
His tone carried a hint of forceful command, like that of an emperor who held the power of life and death.
Ha, if this person were in ancient times, he would be considered a tyrant.
Upon hearing this, the men Huo Jin sent immediately blocked his way: "Mr. Huo, you cannot touch these three people."
"Get out of the way!" Mr. Huo impatiently pushed the person aside, muttering, "The Huo family has plenty of money, who would refuse me? In the past, we spoiled one or two minor celebrities and that little brat never had any objections, what's the meaning of him coming over to stop us now?"
Thinking this to himself, he felt more and more that his youngest son was more to his liking. That boy would never stop him and would even do him some favors. It was a pity that the old man was blind and insisted on leaving all the family's things to this unpleasant eldest son.
If things continue like this, his life will be completely controlled from now on, and what's the point then?
However, thinking of his conspiracy with his youngest son, he gritted his teeth again. How could his eldest son be so lucky to survive? He was forced into such a situation and still managed to live.
“Mr. Huo,” this man was Huo Jin’s confidant and naturally knew what Huo Jin was thinking. He was not afraid to face Huo Jin’s nominal biological father.
