Chapter 1963: Chapter 442: Qin Jin Gets Jealous (Part 2)
"As for the so-called company, Huo Si, you’ve managed the European branch of the Huo Family, tell me, does my company have anything to do with the Huo Family?"
"Don’t look at others with tinted glasses, you’ll only see filth. Next time, if you want to mock me, please find a better reason and excuse."
Huo Si: "..."
At a loss for words.
Huo Zun looked at Huo Si as if he were a trapped beast, a faint trace of mockery lifted on his thin lips.
"Huo Si, besides that, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Huo Si was stumped by Huo Zun’s question, unable to gather his thoughts for a moment. Seeing this, Hua Nuan softly said, "Don’t always waste time on disputes."
After all, they’re brothers.
They say sibling rivalry is a family matter and not suitable for public discussion.
Seeing Hua Nuan speak up like this, Huo Si fell silent, deeply scrutinizing the woman before him, his heart stirred by her stunning features.
What a beautiful woman.
As beautiful as his own mother.
"Huo Si, Huo Zun doesn’t actually owe you anything, you’ll understand someday."
Debt must be repaid, a life for a life...
Now Huo Si had done something wrong himself.
He must face his rightful punishment.
Huo Si: "..."
Owe?
Upon hearing this, a sardonic smile stretched across Huo Si’s lips.
"Someday? Ha, I fear I won’t come to understand. Where’s Grandma? Why won’t she come to see me? I won’t yield so easily; I believe she will save me."
"Sorry, the old lady has been hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage. She’s now in a high-end hospital in London, barely out of danger. In the future, she might struggle to fend for herself, so she can’t save you anymore."
Hua Nuan’s implication was simple—to make Huo Si abandon his hopes.
"I originally thought you didn’t get a lawyer because you intended... to seriously repent. Now it seems... you were counting on the old lady. Huo Si, the old lady can’t protect you for a lifetime, so this time, you must face it alone."
Hua Nuan’s words cut the last straw of hope, leaving Huo Si’s face ashen.
It’s over.
Completely over.
Huo Si trembled as he looked at Huo Zun, contemplating whether to speak.
After several attempts to speak, he finally gave up.
"Huo Zun... you’re not going to help me, are you?"
"Yes, if a person makes a mistake, admitting it is only appropriate. Otherwise, how could we owe it to the late An Wen."
When An Wen’s name was mentioned, the atmosphere became a bit heavy.
Hua Nuan cautiously observed the solemn expressions of the two men, fully aware that An Wen had a significant impact on both of them.
The childhood sweethearts were actually the most innocent.
"Alright... I understand."
Huo Si laughed skyward.
Alright...
Truly.
Huo Si laughed until tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Huo Zun, are you satisfied now? You’ve utterly ruined me; no one will ever block your path again."
Hearing Huo Si still blaming him, Huo Zun pulled his lips into a faint smirk and then shook his head.
"If that’s how you have to see it, then I have nothing to say."
Huo Zun narrowed his blue eyes, unwilling to say more unnecessary words.
Hua Nuan quirked her lips, looking at Huo Si’s stubborn demeanor, she, like Huo Zun, didn’t want to say anything more.
Six years of future imprisonment, hopefully, Huo Si will come to understand.
...
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
As Huo Zun and Hua Nuan were about to leave, Huo Si hoarsely called out.
"Huo Zun, did An Wen leave any other words for me?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zun paused, a cold grin forming on his lips as he listened to Huo Si.
"She said if given a choice, she wouldn’t have come to the Huo Family back then, nor would she want to be caught up in the Huo Family’s storm of blood."
Huo Si: "..."
An Wen’s words undoubtedly spoke for both his and Huo Zun’s hearts.
Huo Si laughed again, raising a hand to wipe the tears from his eyes, trembling as he spoke.
"Thank you."
"Tell... the officer, I don’t need a lawyer indeed."
"Alright, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the Huo Family has been removed from the Royal Family descendants, that’s why Grandma was so struck and hospitalized due to the cerebral hemorrhage."
Huo Si: "..."
Irony, irony.
Such damn irony.
The old lady wasn’t affected when her own grandson got into trouble.
Yet when the Huo Family was removed from the Royal descendants, she was deeply affected.
Such damn irony.
Ha ha...
"Huo Zun, thank you for telling me this, it’s undeniably the funniest joke I’ve ever heard."
Seeing Huo Si’s sorrowful appearance, Huo Zun faintly responded.
