Chapter 444: Refusing to Let Her Rest In Peace
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The guests who could come to the Huo family were all of high status. Even if Huo Cenfeng wanted to keep their mouths shut, he couldn’t do so!
Huo Xiting coughed, revealing a pair of light gray eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses. “Father, this is my first gift to you.”
If Xie Lan wanted this piece of land, then he would use his reputation to exchange for it.
Huo Cenfeng’s expression was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said,
“Huo Xiting, do you think you won? Capital had always been based on strength. Whoever got this piece of land in the end would be able to bring benefits to others. Even if Xie Lan’s methods were not honorable, so what? He will be the final winner!”
“Really?” Huo Xiting asked casually. “We’ll wait and see.”
Huo Cenfeng took a deep breath. “Xiting, I’m your father. I’ve eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Capital has always been ruthless. You’re going to lose this time!”
Huo Xiting sneered. “Are you sure?”
Huo Cenfeng thought he had finally given in.
Then she heard Huo Xiting say slowly, “Eating so much salt will affect the development of the brain. Father, why don’t you make an appointment with a doctor for a check-up? Otherwise, Xie Lan won’t have anyone to complain to when the time comes.’
Ye Beisheng was speechless. What a vicious mouth.
Huo Cenfeng was so angry that his face turned red. “Alright! What a great son you are! Just you wait!”
After Huo Cenfeng left, Ye Beisheng rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut.
Huo Xitings expression didn’t change.
Ye Beisheng couldn’t help but ask, “Huo Xiting… It may be the Chairman’s birthday but he didn’t call you back here so that he could celebrate it, right?” Huo Xiting curled his lips and finally responded, ‘You’re a smart one.”
“If he really wants you to give that piece of land to Xie Lan, he can use other methods to pressure you. Calling you back to the Huo residence is not a good idea. There should be something more important…..”
Ye Beisheng paused for a moment. “Chairman Huo wants to announce Xie Lan’s identity today.”
“Yes.” Huo Xiting looked up.
Ye Beisheng suddenly thought of a possibility. “Xue Qing wants to clean herself up and push the responsibility to you?! The only thing she was unhappy about now was that she had taken over the position before Miss Xie passed away, and then Miss Xie passed away.
“She will never be able to explain this to the world. If Xie Lan wants to return to the Xie family in the name of Miss Xie’s son, they are destined to be enemies. However, the relationship between Xie Lan and Xue Qing…”
“So, they want to blame Miss Xie’s death on you!” Ye Beisheng said, getting more and more frightened.
The air was silent for a moment.
“Tsk.” Huo Xiting slightly closed his fingers and said casually, “Yes.” “Otherwise, why would my good father set up such a big trap?”
Ye Beishengs heart turned cold. “Do you have a way to prove your innocence?”
If the Xie and Huo Family blamed Huo Xiting together, Huo Xiting would probably have no way to defend himself with how Miss Xie has already passed away for 20 years!
The evidence from 20 years ago might not be available now!
In addition, everyone had a preconceived notion that Huo Xiting was an ‘illegitimate child’ in the eyes of the world. It was normal for the illegitimate child to say and do something that caused Miss Xie’s death!
Moreover, the Xie family would also help Xue Qing slander Huo Xiting and cover up the real cause of Miss Xie’s death!
“She’s been dead for twenty years, but the Xie family still won’t let her go…” Ye Beisheng was shocked.
“That’s true. The living can always get away with it.” Huo Xiting said slowly. “They can make a fuss about the ‘death’ of the deceased at will, so that her soul won’t be at peace twenty years later.”
Huo Shiting suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Xue Qing has always been known to be gentle and elegant in their society.”
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to peel off her beautiful skin.
There are some pain that these people would have to suffer through..
