Of course, in the end, the upgraded version was not completed.

Li Yining still has to save her face. If she continues to suffer like this, she probably won't even be able to see her friends anymore.

Huo Shen probably still had some rationality left, so he just punished her a little for looking at the handsome guy and then left it alone.

When we got back, the four people became two.

Li Yining yawned while sitting in the passenger seat and looked at Huo Shen. "What kind of work do you have next?"

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a good script recently. I am considering it."

"oh oh."

Huo Shen only makes one play a year, so he is not in a hurry at all.

For an artist of his level, he didn't enter the entertainment industry just to make money, so he is not in a hurry at all. He is different from Li Yining.

Li Yining was silent for a while and looked at him.

The man was driving with full concentration. Huo Shen was more focused when driving than at other times. His profile looked particularly deep under the flickering light from the window.

After staring at it for a while, Huo Shen laughed and said, "What are you looking at?"

Li Yining raised her eyebrows and said righteously, "Look at my husband."

She muttered quietly, "My husband is so handsome, why don't you let me see him?"

Huo Shen had no choice but to say, "Let me."

He said openly, "Just look around."

Li Yining's lips curled up, feeling indescribably happy.

In fact, there is no need to do anything earth-shattering. Just live an ordinary life with Huo Shen, occasionally get together with friends to have a meal and chat. It is also quite comfortable for the two of us to be together.

Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Shen suddenly said, "By the way, let's go home for dinner the day after tomorrow."

Li Yining was stunned for a moment. "The day after tomorrow?"

Huo Shen nodded, "My mother urged me several times."

Li Yining said "Oh" twice, nodded and said "Okay."

She definitely had no objection to going home for dinner, she just didn't want to deal with that group of people.

Suddenly, Li Yining thought of what happened that day.

She paused and looked at Huo Shen silently.

"Want to ask about Cheng Yang?"

"……Um."

Li Yining said, "You asked someone to get him out that day...didn't your dad cause you any trouble?"

In fact, Li Yining felt a little sorry for Huo Shen.

What is this... She couldn't understand whether most rich men were like this, eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.

He even brought his illegitimate child home and spoiled him.

Although it is an obligation, if he can be more obedient and not go out and mess around with other women, he won't have this obligation.

Li Yining didn't say that Cheng Yang was wrong. There was nothing wrong with the child finally coming home. Not everyone can choose their birth. But she was just annoyed by people like Huo's father - he cheated on her during marriage and still brought the child home.

Where did he put Huo Shen and Huo's mother?

Thinking about it, Li Yining muttered softly.

Huo Shen smiled softly. He didn't hear clearly what she said, but he probably understood what his wife meant.

He said "hmm" and said calmly, "I can find a way to solve it, don't worry."

Mr. Huo actually looked for him.

Also scolded him.

However, Huo Shen had always had a bad attitude towards him. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone coldly.

Huo Shen is not the type to quarrel with others. After so many years, he is no longer the kid who wanted to kick Cheng Yang out of the house when he first saw him.

He had allowed Cheng Yang to stay at home, but that was all.

He will not let go of anyone who wants to harm Li Yining, Huo's mother, or destroy the "balance" of their current family.

Huo Shen has become too powerful, and Huo's father can only give him a verbal scolding at best; he can no longer control Huo Shen.

When Huo Shen and Li Yining got married...the reason they got married was because they were controlled.

In fact, it's not that Huo Shen couldn't resist the two getting married.

It was just that Huo's father had a good idea. He knew that Huo Shen would not be willing to marry a woman he didn't like, so he used the power of inheritance to threaten him.

Even if Huo's father doesn't give it to him, Huo Shen can get it in a few years if he works hard.

But later, he still wanted it.

At that time, marriage was insignificant to Huo Shen and he didn't take it seriously at all.

He seemed like a machine without emotions. Having seen the love of his parents, Huo Shen no longer had any hope for marriage. As long as he didn't dislike the person too much, he would just marry them.

Of course, the premise is that the woman agrees.

Coincidentally, Li Yining agreed at that time.

The two got married accordingly.

What Huo Shen thought at the time was that as long as his wife didn't do anything too extreme, it would not be difficult for the Huo family to support just one person.

However, Huo Shen was angry about what she did later, but he soon got over it.

He couldn't give Li Yining love, so as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he let her do whatever she wanted.

Huo Shen at that time was actually a bit of a scumbag.

But there is no way. People born into wealthy families, whether it is him or Li Yining, seem to have no right to choose.

They are no longer able to enjoy certain benefits and are demanding freedom of marriage.

There are very few such good things in the world, and there must be conflicts of interest between many families and groups.

They have no choice in their marriage and can only obey it.

After marrying Li Yining, Huo Shen gained complete freedom and successfully took control of the group into his own hands.

At first, Huo's father still wanted to control him, but gradually he discovered that Huo Shen was no longer the same Huo Shen as before.

I don't know when it started, but he became more and more serious and out of control.

Now, even if Huo's father wanted to do something to Huo Shen, he was powerless.

Perhaps - from the very beginning when Huo Shen entered the entertainment industry and rebelled, everything has changed quietly.

Li Yining was quiet for a while, and found a sense of loss from Huo Shen's words.

She pursed her lips and looked at him sideways. "Okay."

She reached out, poked Huo Shen's shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, Ning Ning is here."

Huo Shen lowered his eyes and smiled, holding her small hand with one hand. It was soft and delicate. He squeezed it hard, responding to her passionate emotions.

"I know."

After arriving home, Li Yining and Huo Shen were also tired, so they washed up and went to rest early.

Seeing that Huo Shen didn't seem to care much, Li Yining slowly put his heart at ease.

It’s better not to care about it. If you care too much, you’ll get hurt easily.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and before Li Yining went abroad to film, the two returned home.

Mrs. Huo welcomed the two home with open arms. As soon as they entered the house, she took Li Yining's hand and smiled happily.

"Finally I'm back."

She whispered, "Ningning, are you tired from filming?"

“Not tired.”

Li Yining looked at Mother Huo with a smile, "Mom, I'm not tired at all."

"Really?"

Mother Huo didn't quite believe it. She frowned and said, "If you are tired, you must tell me. Besides, your resources don't seem to be very good."

She thought for a moment and said, "How about letting Ah Shen arrange it for you?"

Li Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly refused, "No, no."

She smiled and said, "I've already used some backdoors now, I'll have to fight for the role myself."

Mother Huo looked at her worriedly. "It will be very tiring, right?"

"will not."

Li Yining expressed his understanding of Huo's mother's thoughts. After all, parents hope that their children will have the best.

Besides, the Huo family also has this ability.

Of course, she is not stubborn. She just feels that her abilities are not good enough and that it would be a waste if she got good resources. It is better for her to climb up slowly and train herself.

Huo Shen walked in front of the two of them and raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He turned his head and glanced at Li Yining. After receiving his wife's message for help, Huo Shen looked at his mother and said, "Mom, Ningning has her own ideas. Don't interfere."

Mother Huo glared at him and said, "If I don't intervene, who will? You are all rough people and not careful at all. What if Ningning is embarrassed to accept it?"

Li Yining: "???"

Mom, then you've got me wrong.

I'd like to ask for it.

Huo Shen chuckled and looked at Li Yining, "No."

He said calmly, "If she really wants it, I will give it to her."

Li Yining nodded hurriedly, "Yes, don't worry, Mom. If I really like someone, I will definitely ask Huo Shen to help."

Hearing this, Huo's mother had no choice but to believe them.

She was dazed, nodded and sighed, "Okay, do whatever you want."

"Uh-huh."

"But——"

Mother Huo frowned and looked at them, and couldn't help asking, "Ningning, can't you deal with those people who are scolding you online?"

She said, "What kind of things are they saying? They are all slander against you."

In fact, she seldom goes online. In the past, Huo's mother would occasionally check out the news about Huo Shen.

Until now, she always pays attention to Huo Shen and Li Yining.

The comments of Huo Shen's haters are rarely seen on Weibo. They are all on Tieba and other platforms.

But Li Yining's situation is different. He has tons of black fans on Weibo, and because he doesn't have enough true fans, sometimes some comments can't be suppressed at all, and Huo's mother can naturally see it.

Every time Huo's mother read those remarks, she felt heartbroken.

She treated Li Yining as her own child, so why should she be scolded like that when her child had not committed murder or arson, nor done anything unforgivable?

Mrs. Huo simply cannot understand the thoughts of people today.

Li Yining smiled and comforted her, "It's okay."

She said softly, "I don't even read those comments. Don't worry, Mom. They can't hurt me."

Huo's mother asked, "Can't I delete it?"

Li Yining: "No, there are so many netizens online, it's impossible to delete them all."

Huo Shen followed up with, "Mom, some company will handle it, don't worry about it."

Facing the two people's determined eyes, Mother Huo was silent for a few seconds and sighed, "Okay, since you guys said so, let's handle it properly."

She glared at Huo Shen and said, "Don't let Ning Ning get scolded all the time."

Huo Shen touched the tip of his nose and said in a very good manner, "I know."

After chatting with Huo's mother, Huo Shen was called to the study by Huo's father.

Li Yining looked at him worriedly, and Huo Shen gave her a look.

Mother Huo looked at the two of them and paused, "Ningning, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Li Yining thought about it and said, "It's all right."

Mother Huo smiled and asked, "Are you going to film a movie again next?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Huo's mother didn't say anything.

She was quiet for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Huo Shen came down from the building.

Li Yining immediately looked up at him and asked silently what was wrong?

Huo Shen looked calm and shook his head at her.

But Mr. Huo, who followed behind, had a sullen face.

Li Yining pursed her lips and was about to speak when Huo's mother came out of the kitchen.

"Everyone is down now. It's time to eat."

There weren't so many people at the dinner today, simply because Mrs. Huo missed her son and daughter-in-law and asked them to come home for a meal.

It feels different from the last time I came back.

Last time, all the people who came were unfamiliar relatives, who came just to see Li Yining make jokes.

Li Yining was led by Huo Shen's hand to sit down. As soon as she sat down, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Subconsciously, she glanced at the man next to her.

Huo Shen poured her a bowl of soup and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Li Yining glanced at his current clothes, paused and asked, "Did you change your clothes?"

Huo Shen: "..."

Mother Huo was startled and looked over subconsciously. "Ah Shen."

Huo Shen looked at the two people's worried expressions and explained, "It just got dirty, so I changed it. It's okay."

Mother Huo wanted to move forward, but Father Huo looked at them coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to eat or not?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant became extremely cold.

Huo Shen raised his eyelids and looked at him, sneered, and looked at Li Yining, "Just fill your stomach first."

He paused and added, "One of the dishes was made by my mother."

Li Yining said "hmm" and quickly agreed "OK."

Her eyes were full of worry as she glanced at Huo Shen.

Huo Shen shook his head lightly, and Li Yining stopped asking.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Huo with a frown, "Mom, please sit down and eat. Which one did you make? I want to try it."

Mother Huo's face froze for a moment, and she looked at her helplessly. "Well, Ah Shen said you like to eat fish."

“I like it.”

Li Yining's lips curled up, and he calmed down in a few seconds. "Thank you, Mom."

She paused and looked at Father Huo, "Dad, eat more."

Mr. Huo's face was not looking good, but he couldn't get angry at Li Yining's smiling face.

He snorted coldly, "I know."

The whole family sits at the same dining table, but everyone has different thoughts.

Li Yining finished his meal as quickly as possible.

Huo Shen was not surprised at all. He just glanced at her and asked, "Are you full?"

"Um."

Huo Shen smiled and said, "Wait for me a moment."

"……good."

After dinner, the two said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Huo and prepared to go home.

Initially, Mrs. Huo wanted to keep the two of them at home for one night, but after dinner, the topic was never brought up again.

As soon as he got in the car, Li Yining started to take off Huo Shen's clothes.

Huo Shen paused, suppressed his laughter, and reached out to stop her, "Wife, can't you wait?"
