Chapter 278: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (24)
When Huo Zheng heard that Huo Shichu had become the recognized daughter-in-law of the Buddhist family, a dark light flashed across his eyes. Then, with an innocent look, he seemed unaware of Huo's mother's dislike for Huo Shichu, and said happily: "Wow! Aunt has found someone she wants to spend her life with. That's great. Should we congratulate her? After all, she is still a member of our Huo family..."
Huo's mother thought that Huo Zheng was simply happy that his aunt was getting married. She never thought that the point of his words was not to separate Huo Shichu from the Huo family, but to maintain the identity community of family with her. After all, this was profitable.
Although Huo Zheng is young, he is very scheming. Only Huo's mother, who has eight hundred layers of filters on her, would think that her grandson is a naive and innocent little white rabbit.
"She doesn't recognize us anymore. She's been away from home for so long and didn't even call back. It's obvious that she wants to cut off all ties with us. She even blocked my phone number. She's so heartless..." Mother Huo started to mutter and curse again.
Huo Zheng's face flashed with impatience. After Huo's mother scolded him for a long time, he interrupted her and said, "Then let's try to call Auntie with someone else's phone."
"Sister Wang, can I borrow your cell phone to call my aunt?" Huo Zheng said shyly to Huo's mother's personal secretary who was standing in the corner.
"Sure, sure, go ahead and call, young master." Secretary Wang quickly handed his phone to Huo Zheng and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
Huo Zheng used Secretary Wang's phone to call Huo Shichu. Sure enough, Secretary Wang's phone was connected. A clear and lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
When Huo Zheng first heard Huo Shichu's voice, he almost didn't recognize it, because it seemed that the tone and ending sound of her voice had changed. Only the timbre was similar to before, so Huo Zheng could barely recognize that it was her voice.
"...Aunt, I'm Huo Zheng..." Huo Zheng said in an excited voice, as if the conflicts and contradictions that Huo Shichu had with them before had never happened. "Aunt, I heard that you got married. Congratulations! When will the wedding be held? I want to personally send you my blessings. I wish you and uncle a long and happy life together and many children and grandchildren."
Huo Zheng seemed to be born with the ability to coax people. It was as if he had forgotten that Huo Shichu had been away from home for several months, almost a year. He still spoke to Huo Shichu as if he was a harmonious family member.
To be honest, he is so shameless at such a young age, no wonder he was able to kill the original owner and Zhou Wen when he grew up, take back the company and develop it. After all, his shameless talent is innate. Ordinary people have a strong sense of morality and are easily ashamed. They will feel guilty when they do something wrong. How can they compare to such a cruel and ruthless person?
Huo Shichu sneered and said, "No need. I never thought of inviting you to my wedding. Don't call me aunt or uncle so affectionately. I'm afraid that one day you will use me as a stepping stone."
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone and blocked the number. She knew exactly what Huo Zheng was thinking when he called her at this time. He just wanted to win her back because he saw that she was married to Fo Baijian and had become useful again. She would be a fool to want to recognize such a sycophantic and profit-seeking person.
When Huo Zheng heard Huo Shichu's sarcastic words, his childish face became hideous and distorted for a moment. He was not yet able to hide his emotions, but he quickly returned to normal, revealing a bitter and sad expression.
"What's wrong? What did that ungrateful bastard say to you?" Mother Huo asked, staring at him closely.
Huo Zheng shook his head, lowered his head and said sadly: "Aunt seems to have a deep misunderstanding of us. She said she would not invite us to the wedding..."
"What? She is so shameless? How dare she not invite us? None of her family members showed up at the wedding. Isn't she afraid of being stabbed in the back?" Huo's mother obviously didn't expect Huo Shichu to be so tough. She thought that if she took the initiative a little, she would rush back.
Huo Zheng lowered his head, not letting his mother see his expression. Huo Shichu's ruthless words made him angry and ashamed, because she really hit the nail on the head. But she was a member of the Huo family, and it was natural for her to contribute to the Huo family. What right did she have to refuse?
Huo Zheng was extremely angry, but he had no way to deal with Huo Shichu. She should have been used by him obediently instead of breaking off relations with her family. This caused the family's company to lose its voice. She was the sinner of the family...
After thinking this over, Huo Zheng barely felt better. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold back the anger in his heart when he saw that Huo Shichu was not as miserable as he had imagined after running away from home, but instead became more prosperous and glorious.
However, no matter how much Huo Zheng and Huo's mother resented Huo Shichu for refusing to reconcile with them and being a stepping stone for the Huo family's interests, Huo Shichu didn't take them to heart at all.
While she was taking care of her pregnancy at home, she was also preparing another script. Her previous work that won a prize in a screenwriting competition was noticed by a director from the Fobaijian Company, who bought the copyright to film it, and she would earn a large sum of money again.
She invested the copyright fee in the stock market, and after several operations, she successfully multiplied it several times, and she was already a small wealthy woman. Of course, compared with Fobaijian's assets, her assets were like the difference between an elephant and an ant, but since she had earned it through her own hard work, it was particularly meaningful.
Although after they got married, no, after they started dating, Fu Bojian gave her his supplementary card and let her spend as she pleased, Huo Shichu had no habit of squandering and wasn't very interested in luxury goods, so he basically didn't use the money in the supplementary card. Fu Bojian was depressed for a long time because he thought Huo Shichu didn't use his money because she wanted to distinguish herself from him and didn't treat him as her own.
Huo Shichu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and had to explain it to him again and comfort him. Finally, when he found out that they were having a child, Huo Shichu simply used his money to buy things for the child, and Fo Bojian became happy.
After all, Huo Shichu didn't find out she was pregnant until the baby was five months pregnant, so her entire pregnancy went quickly and smoothly. The child was born on schedule. She was a very cute daughter with big eyes, a straight nose, long arms and legs. It was obvious that she had inherited the excellent genes of her parents.
Mrs. and Mr. Fo were overjoyed. After their daily routine visit to Huo Shichu, they spent the rest of their time taking care of the newborn. They also learned a lot of child-care techniques from the nurses and nannies. After all, they had almost forgotten the experience of taking care of Fo Bojian more than 20 years ago. Now that they had to take care of their delicate and tender granddaughter, they naturally had to be more careful and attentive.
