Family feuds
The elite man with glasses was choked by his words. He looked at the people in the room and frowned irritably. "Borigede, Mr. Huo wants you to go home as soon as possible."
Wow, this sentence has a sense of déjà vu from a romance novel. Xiao Huo is quite capable! Li Xingzang picked up a crab and began to watch the fun as if he were cracking melon seeds.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Little Huo didn't buy his nonsense at all. "Mr. Huo, didn't old man Huo say he didn't want to see me again? Now he's changing his mind. I'm not that easy to fool." The usually cheerful little Huo now spoke in a sharp tone, describing the grudges between wealthy families like a skit.
The general idea is that Old Man Huo, also known as Mr. Huo, Little Huo's father, has two children: Little Huo and his older brother. Little Huo's older brother, Comrade Da Huo, was bright and well-rounded from a young age, developing morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-intensively. He was a child of many other families, so his position as heir was long ago determined. Little Huo, however, was different. He was a bright and cheerful boy from a young age, excelling in everything except academics, and a master of mischief. It wasn't a big deal, after all, after his older brother inherited everything, he would also inherit his useless younger brother.
But things got worse. Big Huo's brother got into a car accident, leaving the young man in a vegetative state. Isn't that tragic? Little Huo worked hard, vowing to inherit the family business and take care of his big brother. But then, Huo San showed up. That's right, a common character in wealthy families—the illegitimate child of the third sister.
Huo San was similar to Comrade Xiao Huo, and they were twins, a boy and a girl. Old Huo had no shortage of sons, but he only had this one sweet daughter, and this daughter had elevated her brother Huo San's status. The third sister had been nagging them about fighting over the family fortune since they were little. While Xiao Huo was enjoying himself, the two of them had already earned master's degrees abroad. Now, taking advantage of Big Huo's misfortune, they were scrambling to squeeze Little Huo out of the company and flirting with him. During one of their arguments, Little Huo ran away from home, ending up in Xuecheng.
"Is this the root-seeking journey you mentioned?" Before Li Xingzang and others could say anything, Jin Rui put down the leg of lamb and asked coldly.
"Ah... this..." What Xiao Huo said just now was all the truth he blurted out after drinking. He was still confused now. It was not bad enough for him to be able to explain this old-fashioned feud between wealthy families. When Jin Rui asked this, he couldn't even speak clearly.
Although Xiao Huo rebuked the man with glasses, he still maintained a certain level of professional ethics. "Bo Ri, Mr. Huo learned about your contact with Inner Mongolia and said that if you don't return soon, he will give all the shares to those two people."
Those two people... their words are very subtle...
Boss Li felt that as Xiao Huo's friend, he had to stand on his side no matter what. He put down the crab and said to him, "Hello, I'm Li Xingzang, Xiao Huo's friend."
The man with the glasses looked at her. He had noticed when he entered the room just now that the people around her were vaguely surrounding her. She was the one who had the final say in the entire hotel.
"Hello, Boss Li, I'm Huo Bo's assistant. You can call me Gongbu."
Boss Li raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this person had already investigated them before coming.
"Hello, Mr. Gongbu. Bozhi is drunk now and can't even speak clearly. Even if you take him back, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything. Otherwise, how about waiting for one night and taking him home tomorrow morning?"
Gongbu felt really bad seeing Huo Bozhi drunk. This had never happened before when he was with his brother.
"Okay, I'll take him back to the hotel." Gongbu was about to help him up when he was stopped by Yu Shishi. "Although Xiao Huo seems to know you, he is drunk. We generally don't believe what drunks say. Let's wait until he wakes up. This is also for his safety." Gongbu looked at Yu Shishi in confusion, and Li Xingzang stood aside and said leisurely.
"Well... thank you for your help." Gongbu looked around and said, "Boss Li, let me remind you that Huo Bozhi's family situation is rather special. I hope you can take good care of him." It's really hard to feel at ease with so many people in this room.
"Don't worry about that. We took good care of him when you were not here." Yu Shishi said with a smirk.
After Gongbu left, Li Xingzang looked at Yu Sishi with amusement, "Why are you bullying him?"
"You have the same personality as me?"
"What's your personality? He's an elite executive, what about you?" Li Xingzang looked him up and down. Although he also wore trousers and leather shoes, Yu Sishi usually paired them with sweaters. Like today, he wore a white low-necked sweater, which looked warm and... "Sultry."
"Boss Li, what you said is not right." Yu Sishi supported himself on both sides and straightened his waist. He looked up at Li Xingzang affectionately and said, "I am openly flirting with you."
"Hup——" Gao Yuan made an exaggerated vomiting gesture, and Officer Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, "What's the matter, how many months have you been pregnant? Since you are pregnant, don't come out to drink. We can't take the responsibility if the child is lost." Combined with his Beijing dialect, the sarcasm factor was maxed out.
"Hey you—" Gao Yuan pointed at Yu Sishi and was about to fight back, but Boss Li waved his hand and said, "Stop it."
Chen Jingyi was able to muster up the energy to engage in feudal superstitious activities with Gao Yuan just now, but now she has fallen completely asleep. Li Xingzang looked left and right, and saw that there were a room full of drunks.
She helped Chen Jingyi up and gestured to Yu Sishi with her chin, "Get Xiao Huo ready and send him to the bathing center."
"You!" She pointed at Gao Yuan again, "Go back and sober up first. Tomorrow I'll bring the little girl and talk to you about her sister."
"Brother Rui..." Jin Rui glanced at Xiao Huo, who was being held by Yu Sishi, and said with a half-smile, "I'll go with you guys and see what's going on with him."
"Wake him up." In the bath center's room, Jin Rui sat on a chair with his arms and legs spread out, and ordered Yu Shishi, who had just put Xiao Huo on the bed.
Although they really didn't want to listen to him, there was nothing they could do. This guy's sensitive nerves were a little touched, so Yu Sishi and Li Xingzang who arrived later had no choice but to be humble.
"Hiss—" The cold spiritual power was injected into Xiao Huo's head. He covered his forehead and looked at Yu Si and asked, "Are you not going to splash water on me anymore?"
"No, did you touch the water?" Yu Sishi stood aside with his hands in his pockets, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
"Borigede, tell me about your story." Jin Rui leaned back in his chair and spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Huo looked at Li Xingzang and Yu Sishi in confusion, and asked with his eyes: What's going on?
The two of them shrugged at the same time and looked at him with gloating: You're finished.
"Huh?" The old zombie on the side became a little impatient.
"No, Brother Rui, what do you want to know?" Xiao Huo had just lost his memory and completely forgot about the bold words he had just used to curse the old bastard and the mistress.
"Your family is full of grievances and disputes over the family property." Li Xingzang covered his mouth and whispered a reminder. Of course, this was just a case of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. She and Yu Sishi looked at each other. Fighting for the family property, isn't this our prince's specialty?
Jin Rui glared at the two troublemakers. Seeing Xiao Huo's eyes wide open in surprise, he became impatient and said, "Damn it!"
"No, Brother Rui, Sister Zang, Brother Yu, those things that happened in my family are all dirty to your ears. This..." Although he didn't have the intention to keep his dirty laundry secret from public, and others could laugh at him if they wanted to, he still felt a little ashamed in his heart.
"What can't be said? I'm a police officer, she's your friend, and as for Brother Rui..." Yu Sishi pondered for a moment, and Jin Rui continued, "I'm your ancestor!"
"Cough——" Li Xingzang was choked by his saliva. Jin Rui glanced at him with a very intimidating look, and the two of them shut up silently.
"Okay." Xiao Huo sighed. He was already so familiar with them, so there was nothing wrong with talking to them.
The basic story was pretty much the same as what she'd said when she was drunk, with a few more details. For example, his mother was a strong woman, dominating the company and making the two siblings complain bitterly. Or, the third sister resorted to various tactics, determined to persuade Old Huo into sleep, only to have Old Huo suffer a stroke when he wasn't paying attention.
"Is your mother in charge of all the company's affairs?" Jin Rui asked after listening for a while.
"Well, otherwise I wouldn't have the confidence to run away from home." Xiao Huo was very self-aware. "I knew nothing about the company's affairs and fell into the trap unknowingly. My mother thought it was too much trouble to clean up the mess for me and was afraid that I would hold her back, so she kicked me out so that she could threaten the old man at the same time." He felt a little lacking in confidence when he said the latter part. He was afraid that the threat was just an exaggeration on his part.
"Hmph, as a son raised by my side, it's bad enough that you don't have the ability to manage the company, but you can't even hold on to your father's favor, and someone else got there first. What a waste!" Jin Rui looked at him with disappointment. Xiao Huo felt a little aggrieved. Brother Rui scolded him so harshly.
"But he still has some courage and is willing to take responsibility." Although it was of little use, Jin Rui still encouraged him.
Xiao Huo is a kind-hearted child. He was a little sad after being insulted a few times before, but his eyes lit up again after being praised like this. He is indeed suitable to be a leisurely prince.
"Has your mother contacted you recently?" Li Xingzang asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes, I video-called her today, and she said everything is fine at the company."
"You only talked about company matters?"
After all, he had been through some hard work in the company. When they pointed out the things he had originally thought were a little strange, he suddenly felt that everything was wrong. "Although my mother is a strong woman, she has always been very concerned about me and my elder brother. Some time ago, when she asked someone from her hometown to send me sheep, she also asked me to treat you well. But when I mentioned it today, she didn't react at all. I thought she was tired from the company's work..." Xiao Huo felt more and more that something was wrong. He suddenly jumped up from the bed, "I want to go find Gongbu!"
"Can that man be trusted?" Li Xingzang frowned. Xiao Huo nodded. "He's my brother's childhood friend. We grew up together."
"Okay, I'll go back with you." Jin Rui suddenly said as he looked at him anxiously contacting Gongbu.
"Ah?" Xiao Huo looked at him in surprise, "Is it possible? Our old man is not easy to mess with..." What if he fights with Brother Rui again? He is still his biological father after all. What should he do if he gets anxious?
"Hmph!" Jin Ruili looked over. "Your old man doesn't stand firm, so you and that little guy can handle everything?"
Xiao Huo scratched his head and said, "That's what I said, but..." He was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, this time I'm your lawyer."
"Ah?" Xiao Huo and the other two looked at him in shock.
"What? Don't you think so?" Jin Rui sneered. "I'm a state-recognized, licensed, professional inheritance lawyer."
