An Meng glanced at Huo Minxuan indifferently, then quickly looked away with disgust.
Huo Minxuan lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.
A normal 14-year-old is either studying hard at school or having fun carefree.
However, at the age of 14, Huo Minxuan was already quite scheming and resourceful. Under the influence of his mother's family, he could be said to be lawless.
His grandfather Huo Yuntian trained him as his heir. As a result, Huo Minxuan was a typical young master from a wealthy family who could get whatever he wanted.
Everything seems perfect, but it is not.
Huo Minxuan's mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to him, so he lost his mother from birth. His father, Huo Yuanshen, was frivolous and dissolute, and he wished to spend every night drunkenly among women, so he had no time to care about his own son.
Although Huo Yuntian tried his best to train him, Huo Minxuan always felt that, whether it was resentment or anger, Huo Yuntian's eyes seemed to linger more on Xie Yun.
All kinds of inexplicable scarcity had already laid the groundwork secretly, until the power of jealousy erupted and destroyed everything.
Jealousy is included in the seven deadly sins because it can tempt people to act out their worst thoughts.
Although Xie Zhen and Huo Yan sent Xie Yun to live in the Huo family's house, they would visit their son every now and then.
However, facing his parents' relaxed smiles, Xie Yun couldn't tell what kind of life he was leading in the Huo residence.
One day, as usual, Xie Zhen and Huo Yan came to Huo's house and had dinner. Before leaving, the couple smiled and said something to Xie Yun. Then, Xie Zhen patted his son on the head twice, and Huo Yan gave his son a hug.
This was a very common scene, but at that moment, no one, including Xie Zhen and his wife, including Xie Yun, knew that they would be faced with disaster.
Coincidentally, when Xie Zhen and Huo Yan came to Huo's house before, Huo Minxuan never bothered to show up.
Perhaps from the very beginning, he had developed a resistance to Xie Zhen and his wife's visit to the Huo residence, which he himself was unwilling to admit.
Just this time, when Huo Minxuan came back from playing outside, he happened to run into Xie Yun and his parents saying goodbye at the door of Huo's house.
For some unknown reason, Huo Minxuan chose to hide and watched all this warmth and harmony coldly.
The scene was dazzling and heartbreaking. In an instant, the dark emotions of wanting to destroy and tear everything apart surged towards him like a tide.
——He seemed to have never gotten these.
Wasn't Xie Yun abandoned by his parents? !
Otherwise, why would I be thrown here and endure my grandfather's cold stare every day?!
By the way, Huo Yuntian doesn’t like Xie Yun either!
But why does Huo Minxuan look more like the one who was abandoned?
Almost without thinking, Huo Minxuan came up with a plan to be implemented in his mind.
After everything was over, Huo Minxuan finally felt better when he saw Xie Yun's sad look.
Not only that, there was an unexpected surprise - Huo Yuntian actually thought that Fang Dongliang was seeking revenge on Xie Zhen, thus implicating Huo Yan.
From then on, Huo Yuntian looked at Xie Yun with even more disgust and rejection.
Needless to say, Xie Yun's days at the Huo residence became even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Huo Minxuan curled the corners of his mouth in joy, and even the continuous severe pain in his legs seemed to be relieved a lot.
Seeing that he still had the nerve to laugh, Huo Yuntian became extremely angry and raised his hand, ready to hit him with the stick again.
"Grandpa," Xie Yun, who was standing a few steps away, spoke up to stop him, saying, "Now is not the time to get angry."
"..." Huo Yuntian's eyelids twitched, and his expression towards Xie Yun seemed to soften slightly. "Anything else?"
Xie Yun turned around and met An Meng's gaze. An Meng turned away angrily and said to Lin Yiyi, "Tell them to come up."
Lin Yiyi's eyes moved between the two of them. She couldn't figure out whether Xie Yun was dead or not yesterday, nor could she understand why An Meng treated Xie Yun like that now.
But she didn't dwell on it too much. After all, in her mind, killing Huo Minxuan was her top priority.
Lin Yiyi walked out of the living room of the Huo residence. After a while, under Huo Yuntian's scorching gaze, she came in with Zhao Yu and Wang Guodong.
When Huo Yuntian glanced at Zhao Yu, his gaze froze. Of course he recognized Zhao Yu. He was the capable man he had personally selected for Huo Minxuan.
Zhao Yu glanced around the reception room briefly, then said calmly, "Mr. Huo, I came here to show you something."
After that, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and presented them to Huo Yuntian.
Zhao Yu continued, "Boss Huo, before coming here, I've already compiled the complete electronic version of the document into an email. If I don't leave here within a certain period of time, this document will be sent to the relevant department's mailbox."
This is a blatant threat.
Obviously, Zhao Yu has been in the business for so many years and is no pushover. He started making preparations for his own safe retreat a long time ago.
The wrinkles on Huo Yuntian's lips deepened, and his fingers trembled slightly as he took the document.
He quickly read the documents with his sharp eyes. As time passed, the sound of the papers turning became slower and slower.
The last page of paper was turned.
"You bastard!"
Huo Yuntian slammed the document heavily on Huo Minxuan's face. The paper slid silently down the latter's face to the ground and scattered everywhere.
No one in the reception room spoke, only Huo Yuntian's scolding could be heard.
"What did I teach you?" Huo Yuntian panted rapidly, staring coldly at Huo Minxuan who was in the bodyguard's hands, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
He said angrily, "Be careful when doing things and don't leave any traces!"
An Meng raised the corner of her lips in a sarcastic arc.
Even at this point, Huo Yuntian still only said, "Don't leave any traces when doing things."
Should we say that these two generations of grandfather and grandson are really of the same blood?
Huo Yuntian tapped the ground with his cane, his left hand trembling as he pointed at Huo Minxuan, saying angrily, "Stupid! Extremely stupid!"
Huo Minxuan lowered his head indifferently, a hoarse sneer escaping from his throat.
"Zhao Yu," Huo Yuntian leaned on his cane and turned to face Zhao Yu. "Why did you do this? Did the Huo family treat you unfairly?"
Huo Yuntian could never imagine that Zhao Yu, who had been loyal to him for many years, would personally do something like exposing Huo Minxuan's past.
The pile of documents just now was filled with densely written evidence of Huo Minxuan's crimes over the years.
Tax evasion, stock market manipulation, short selling, illegal money laundering, loan sharking... the list goes on.
There are many very secretive and old things that only Huo Minxuan’s confidants know so clearly.
And Zhao Yu is this confidant.
