Chapter 206 Dad is scared of you
In early April, willows turn green and flowers bloom.
Huo Peng is returning to Beijing.
When he got home and opened the door, he saw Huo Yi running towards him, shouting excitedly, "Dad, you're finally back."
Huo Peng was looking at his son who was so excited, and his body was startled.
He was a little overwhelmed by the sudden strong father-son love.
The knife in his hand suddenly thrust forward, causing Huo Yi to stop three steps in front of him: "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"
Huo Yi was so wronged that his handsome face almost deformed: "Dad, am I only a troublemaker in your heart? Can't you miss me so much after not seeing me for so many days?"
Huo Pengzheng's mouth twitched violently, and he rubbed the goose bumps that instantly appeared on his body: "Don't you know what you look like? Act normal, Dad is afraid of you like this."
Huo Yi's face darkened: "..."
You deserve to not be able to get married.
"I have been staying at home and have never been to a brothel, fooling around or getting into trouble."
Huo Peng was looking at Huo Yi in disbelief, with an expression that said "How could my son be so obedient?", which made Huo Yi grit his teeth.
"No, there must be something wrong. Tell me quickly, and then let me take a shower." I have been running around outside for nearly two months and my body stinks.
Huo Yi: "Can I not study?"
"If you don't want to study, then don't study. I don't expect you to be the top scholar." Huo Peng waved his hand nonchalantly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and looked at Huo Yi in surprise: "Please explain clearly, why did you suddenly mention studying?"
Huo Yi told him about Lu Xiang's visit and asking him to study.
"...Dad, you don't know how fierce the maid next to the third young lady is. Look at my hands, look at my back..." As he said this, he first lifted up his sleeves to show Huo Pengzheng, and then he was about to take off his clothes.
The marks on his body were caused by Ah Man beating him with a thin bamboo stick because he was sneaky and sly.
Huo Peng was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and put on the clothes that Huo Yi had taken off halfway: "How can a grown man be so hesitant? Miss Third did a great job, I have to thank her very much. You read it carefully, or I'll beat you to death if you don't read it well."
Huo Yi: “…”
Why on earth did he complain to his father?
"If I push you into a corner, believe it or not, I won't take care of you until the end of your life."
Huo Peng was looking at him sideways and said, "You are so stubborn. It seems that you don't want to spend the money I earn, nor do you want to inherit my estate? That's perfect. Now that I agree, pack up and leave. I can remarry and have another son. I won't have to worry about not having a son to take care of me in my old age."
Huo Yi stared at Huo Pengzheng in astonishment, the corners of his mouth trembling constantly: "Dad, you are too cruel."
Huo Peng patted his shoulder in annoyance and scolded him with a smile: "Stop talking so much nonsense, why don't you go and boil some water for me to take a bath."
Huo Yi left mumbling something. Of course, he didn't need to boil the water himself. He could just tell the servants to do it.
"Dad, you go wash up first. Miss San asked me to inform her when you come back. She was worried when you went after Jiang Jin."
Huo Pengzheng's rough voice rang out in the room: "Go ahead, I just happen to have something to talk to her about."
Huo Yi responded and went to Lu Mansion.
He did not go directly to Lu Xiang, but went to A'man first, and then A'man notified Lu Xiang.
When Lu Xiang heard that Huo Peng was coming back, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Ah Man harnessed the carriage and took Lu Xiang to Tongxiang. Huo Yi walked there on two legs and walked back on two legs.
The Huo family does not have a dedicated study room. Huo Peng is a rough man and does not need one, while Huo Yi is a typical playboy and does not need such a thing as a study room.
Lu Xiang was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, and soon Huo Pengzheng came over looking refreshed.
Huo Yi also returned slowly.
Huo Pengzheng waved away the servants, first bowed to Lu Xiang, then took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and placed it on the table, looking at her with excitement and a hint of emotion.
"Miss Third, I am a rough man and I can't say nice things, but I will remember your kindness in my heart. From now on, Miss Third is my master. If you tell me to go west, I will never go east."
Not only did the Third Miss save his only son, she also saved his life.
If he hadn't listened to the Third Miss's warning, he would probably be a corpse by now.
Jiang Jin, this despicable villain, always considers him in every way on the surface, but turns around and uses underhanded means to drive him out of the gambling house and take the money for himself, and even secretly hires a killer to kill him.
Damn it, am I so easy to kill?
Since you are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
His loyalty is only to his brothers, and he is not worthy of shameless people.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Uncle Huo, you are too kind. I hope you will give me more advice in the future."
Huo Pengzheng waved his hand and said, "I dare not give you any advice, Third Miss. I have thought about it. I don't know how to run a business. Let's redistribute the ownership of this gambling house. You take 90% and I take 10%."
Lu Xiang was shocked and didn't know how to respond.
In her previous life, Uncle Huo gave the gambling house to her. She could understand that because his only son died and he was disabled, he had no desire for material things.
But nothing has happened in this life, why should he send it?
Thinking about it, Lu Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt warm in his heart.
No matter how time changes, Huo Pengzheng is always so sincere to her.
Huo Yi's eyes widened as he moved to Huo Pengzheng's side and whispered, "Dad, what are you thinking about? Miss Three only wants Jiang Jin's share."
Don't be silly, Dad.
One percent?
That would cost a lot of silver.
Huo Peng turned his head and glared at him: "Do I have the final say in this family, or do you?"
Huo Yi choked: "You, you have the final say."
Sob, my heart aches.
"Miss San, Yi'er is naughty, don't bother with him. You don't know that in the past, Jiang Jin and I were in charge of the management and accounting, while I was in charge of patrolling the casino to prevent people from causing trouble. In fact, our gambling business is not bad, but every year when we check the accounts, we make more money and spend more. Jiang Jin said that he has so many brothers to support, and he needs to pay for medical expenses when they get injured from time to time, so the annual profit is very low."
"But it was not until this time that I realized that it was all his lies. Half of the people in the gambling house have become his confidants. All the extra money went into their pockets and was used for eating, drinking and having fun. Even if the people I have left behind are all reliable people, I don't know how to run a business and manage accounts, and I will still lose money in the end. So I thought of asking the third lady to manage the gambling house, and I will still be in charge of the outside field. With the third lady here, even if it's only 10%, it will be much more than when Jiang Jin was around."
As he spoke, Huo Peng was looking at Lu Xiang eagerly, afraid that she would refuse.
Lu Xiang smiled lightly and said, "Originally, I was thinking of asking Uncle Huo to give up 10% of the profit, but now there's no need to waste words. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Pengzheng said hurriedly, "Miss San, you only need to give me 10% of the profit. Come and sign."
