But this time, Huo Qingxiao gave Huo Jiuxiao a meaningful look. However, the person who was sitting firmly on the fishing platform did not care at all. If the father used the son, the son would naturally use the father. Only with reciprocity would their relationship be long-lasting.
Because Yun Shujing had just reported to him the previous night that Huo Zizhen would bring Lin Wanli on the cruise to expand her social circle. And today, he threw the question at him, wanting to test his attitude.
Originally, Huo Zizhen should also be grounded until the matter was investigated. However, because of Huo Jiuxiao’s next plan, Huo Qingxiao could only restrict Huo Zizhen from leaving the country, so the cruise could continue. His decision not only fulfilled Huo Jiuxiao’s plan but also made everyone feel that he was biased towards Huo Zizhen, which made them even more dissatisfied with Huo Zizhen.
Just think about it. Both of them had killed someone, but one was locked up in prison, while the other was free because someone was protecting her. What would the others think? Of course, they would place all their hatred on the person at large.
Huo Jiuxiao was secretly gathering enmity for Huo Zizhen.
At this time, Uncle Zhong made his stance clear. He said in front of everyone, “Qingxiao, I’m not very satisfied with how you handled this matter. The matter has not been investigated clearly. You want Huo Zizhen to go around destroying the evidence?”
“If everything is based on the stability of the Huo Family, I don’t think there’s a problem with how I’m handling it. Shujing has been living in seclusion and is not active in the public eye, so she will not cause any commotion. However, if the mother and daughter do not appear at the same time, the outside world will have a lot of speculations, and the Huo Corporation will be even more chaotic. I’ll send someone to follow her. Don’t worry.”
Uncle Zhong wanted to argue a little more, but after thinking about it, he felt it was pointless. After all, Huo Qingxiao had never changed his mind.
“Qingxiao, this concerns the stability of the Huo Family and your safety. I hope you won’t be muddled.”
“I understand Uncle Zhong’s painstaking efforts. In addition, I think it’s time to change the internal structure of the ancestral hall.” Huo Qingxiao glanced at the other two elders and said, “When people get old, it’s easy for them to become blind and get entangled in all kinds of emotions. In this way, the Huo
Family’s ancestral hall will be useless.”
The two of them blushed, but they could not say a word.
Because after that battle, everyone could see that the two of them were biased towards Yun Shujing.
Although they could cover up their lies by taking into account the overall situation, anyone with eyes could tell that when Uncle Zhong was so determined to protect the Huo Family’s interests, those two were fishing in troubled waters and trying to make peace. Obviously, they were no longer on the same side as the Huo family’s interests.
“As the head of the ancestral hall, of course, I won’t allow such a thing to happen. In a few days, I’ll invite all the elders of the Huo Family to attend and re-vote.” Uncle Zhong snorted, “And that spy beside me, I’ll give you a chance. Surrender yourself to me before today, and I’ll let your family off. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
That was the second time Yun Shujing had suffered a loss.
The first time, she had given up one-third of her shares. This time, she had lost her management rights as a matriarch. She had even become completely connected to Huo Xinhong. She could not get rid of him even if she wanted to. Not only that but her children were also affected. Last time, it was Huo Shengyuan who had his wedding canceled. This time, it was Huo Zizhen who was confirmed by the Huo Family to be colluding with Huo Xinhong. What about the next time?
Yun Shujing didn’t dare to imagine that as long as Huo Xinhong didn’t die, he would become Huo Jiuxiao ‘s greatest weapon against her. Most importantly, Huo Jiuxiao was able to sit there and watch her ugly state without saying a word. Just a single Huo Xinhong was enough to turn her upside down.
After the ancestral hall was cleared and everyone had left, Yun Shujing clenched her fists and stood where she was. Huo Zizhen hurriedly ran over and asked Yun Shujing, “Mom, what should we do now?”
“Now, we have to find Huo Xinhong at all costs. Only then can we completely cut ties with him. Otherwise, we will never have peace! So, no matter how you fight each other openly or secretly, you must unite now. Otherwise, you will be played to death by Huo Jiuxiao sooner or later!”
“I will use all my connections to find the whereabouts of Huo Xinhong.” Huo Zizhen said.
“Me too.” Huo Weichen immediately raised his hand.
Although he usually liked to joke around, he really couldn’t bring himself to say it that day.
As for Huo Shengyuan, although he didn’t say anything, Yun Shujing knew that he was the most reliable one. He would definitely cooperate with everyone to find Huo Xinhong.
But in a corner where no one was paying attention, Huo Shengyuan’s hands were trembling.
Because Huo Jiuxiao had only returned for a few days and had already watched two big shows. He couldn’t even predict Huo Jiuxiao’s next move.
Therefore, he was anxious, so anxious that his breathing quickened.
“Mom, I’ll return to the company to settle some matters first.”
“You can go.” Yun Shujing didn’t notice Huo Shengyuan’s condition. Her mind was filled with the thought of finding Huo Xinhong as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.
“But Huo Zizhen, isn’t it too much for you to continue going on a cruise with wealthy ladies at a time like this?” Huo Weichen scolded Huo Zizhen. ‘You don’t know anything. Shut up, trash. ”
The cruise was a must. Not only did she have to deal with Lin Wanli, she was already in danger because Lin Wanli had something on her. If it was exposed that she was that person’s mistress, she would no longer have a place in the Huo Family.
Therefore, she had to find Huo Xinhong and also deal with Lin Wanli. She couldn’t allow any deviation.
On the other side, Huo Qingxiao, Huo Jiuxiao, and Lin Wanli had already returned to the Huo Family.
When Huo Jiuxiao brought Lin Wanli back to the room, Huo Qingxiao stopped Lin Wanli and said, “Last night, your Aunt Shu told me that Zizhen wanted to take you on a cruise to relax. You guys just have fun. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“Got it, Dad.” Lin Wanli replied. Then, she was dragged away by Huo Jiuxiao.
Huo Qingxiao looked at Huo Jiuxiao’s back and asked the butler to prepare a car for him.
The butler had been outside the ancestral hall the entire time, but he knew everything that had happened inside. So, when no one was around, the butler said to Huo Qingxiao, “Eldest Young Master seems to have found Madam’s sore spot. ”
At that moment, Huo Qingxiao sneered and said, “This is nothing. He’s got Huo
Xinhong.”
“That can’t be, right?” The butler was shocked.
“The resentment that he has been holding in for ten years is finally about to explode. As expected of my son. Let him go crazy.”
This time, the butler was shocked again. He never thought that Huo Qingxiao would cooperate to that extent. From that, it could be seen that Huo Qingxiao really had no feelings for the three siblings. The butler even suspected that the reason he kept the three of them alive was to let Huo Jiuxiao sharpen his sharp
claws..
