After running for a while, when Huo Yuanlu returned home, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead.
Huo Yuanlu collapsed exhaustedly on the sofa. When he saw the old man beside him, he suddenly thought of the abuse he suffered from Huo Beiting this afternoon. He couldn't help but lean over there, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, it was old man Huo Zhen who noticed that something was wrong with him.
"What's wrong? You suddenly seem to be hesitant to speak, which makes grandpa uncomfortable."
"Grandpa, you have to make the decision for me. My brother has been like crazy today, bullying me all the time."
Huo Yuanlu spoke in a manner that sounded aggrieved.
When Mr. Huo Zhen saw this, he immediately started asking questions.
"No way? Your brother can't be that kind of person! Did you do something to make him angry?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood me. How could I possibly do something like that? My brother has been making me run around all day today, and my feet are killing me now."
Huo Yuanlu accused in a slightly coquettish tone.
His behavior successfully aroused the pity of Mr. Huo Zhen, but when he thought about his grandson being so old, it was not appropriate for him to throw himself into his arms and act coquettishly.
This made Mr. Huo Zhen hesitate to speak.
However, at this moment, Huo Beiting suddenly opened the door and walked in. He heard everything Huo Yuanlu had just said.
Huo Beiting immediately started to denounce him.
"Huo Yuanlu! You're spreading rumors behind my back again. You're already a grown man, and you're old enough to start a family and build a career, yet you're still acting like a spoiled brat in front of Grandpa."
These words left Mr. Huo Zhen a little confused, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"It was Huo Yuanlu who told Yan Qing my true identity. Now I can't even see Yan Qing. How can I bring this granddaughter-in-law to see Grandpa later?"
Huo Beiting narrated briefly.
After hearing this, Mr. Huo Zhen couldn't help but nodded heavily, thinking it made a lot of sense.
Then old man Huo Zhen turned to look at Huo Yuanlu standing beside him, and the meaning in his eyes was naturally self-evident.
Huo Yuanlu quickly realized it and hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, wasn't it because I was careless? How could I have done that on purpose, and yet my cousin treated me like this?"
He originally just wanted his grandfather to say a few words to Huo Beiting, and didn't want to bring trouble upon himself. Moreover, Huo Beiting's debating skills were simply chilling.
"Grandpa, isn't this to train Huo Yuanlu? He's already that old, but he still doesn't want to make progress. As his brother, I certainly can't watch him degenerate like this."
Huo Beiting continued speaking.
After hearing this, Huo Yuanlu could no longer hold back and immediately asked further questions.
"Huo Beiting, please explain clearly why I didn't strive for progress? How did I fall into depravity?"
Seeing his unconvinced look, Huo Beiting immediately became interested.
Huo Beiting exaggerated his crimes.
"You've been lazy and ate all day long at the company. No matter what task you were given, you completed it lazily. Many people in the company have been dissatisfied with you for a long time, but because of your status, they have never said it out loud. However, I have heard them talk about what you did."
Huo Yuanlu immediately became dissatisfied when he heard this.
"Huo Beiting, don't try to accuse me in front of Grandpa. I clearly didn't do any of these things. Don't try to put the blame on me."
"Grandpa, how could I do that? I finally got a chance to join the company, but I didn't cherish it. Do you think that's right? How could I be lazy? I'm very hardworking. If you don't believe me, go to the company and ask."
Huo Yuanlu immediately turned around and started acting coquettishly towards his grandfather.
Old Master Huo Zhen looked at the two of them and saw sincere expressions on their faces. For a moment, he didn't know who to believe.
Then Huo Beiting explained the situation to Huo Zhen in a reasonable manner.
"Grandpa, as the president of a company, how could I possibly choose to wrongly accuse my own brother? I just want to train him before handing him over some things."
"If Huo Yuanlu had already completed all the tasks I assigned him this afternoon, how could he have been running around like crazy all afternoon? Does the company really have so many things for him to do?"
After hearing what Huo Beiting said, Huo Zhen nodded thoughtfully. He felt that it made a lot of sense.
When Huo Yuanlu saw his grandfather's appearance, he immediately felt something was wrong.
He quickly spoke up, "Grandpa, you know that there are so many things to do in the company right now. My brother has always had a sinister personality since he was a child. You know that, Grandpa."
Seeing a grown man acting like a spoiled child, Huo Beiting couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Huo Zhen now knows who he should trust.
"Huo Yuanlu, how could you think so of your brother? You've always had this lazy personality since you were little. I don't believe you'll become more diligent after joining the company. It's obvious to me that Huo Beiting cares a lot about you, right?"
"And think about it carefully. How does Huo Beiting treat you? We've all seen it. Although it's reasonable to punish you a little for my granddaughter-in-law, it can't be that excessive. Huo Beiting knows this very well, so don't try to wrongly accuse him."
After hearing their grandfather's mumbling, Huo Yuanlu and the other man were speechless, and their eyes looking at Huo Beiting became helpless.
Huo Yuanlu is very regretful now. He doesn't know what was wrong with him today that he actually wanted to compete with this man.
Seeing his hopeless look, Huo Beiting felt extremely satisfied. Who made him scare Yan Qing away?
I had originally intended to give him a slight punishment this afternoon, but I didn't expect him to complain to his grandfather when he got home.
Since that was the case, he certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He wanted him to learn a lesson, so that Huo Yuanlu wouldn't think that he was capable of fighting against him in the future.
Old Master Huo Zhen noticed that he was distracted and spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Huo Yuanlu, Grandpa is still talking to you. Don't pretend you didn't hear. Now that you've grown up, do you think Grandpa is nagging?"
Huo Yuanlu wailed, "No, how could it be possible... Grandpa..."
"I don't know when you will be able to take on responsibilities. Seeing you like this makes me very worried. Now you have been staying away from your brother. You should learn how to manage a company from your brother." Old Master Huo Zhen said helplessly.
“…”
“…”
Seeing that it was old man Huo Zhen who was teaching Huo Yuanlu a lesson behind him, Huo Beiting couldn't help but leave here with satisfaction.
