Seeing Huo Zhiyan come in, the old lady looked a little worried and asked first, "Ayan, how is that girl An Zhi? Is it okay? Has the doctor taken care of her?"
Huo Zhiyan bit his back molar: "Most of her back was burned. I asked the doctor to give her painkillers, and she is asleep now."
Realizing that the problem was serious, the few initiators continued to pretend: "I told you it's okay. I was scalded with boiling water when I was a child. It was just a blister. It will be fine in a few days."
As he spoke, he tentatively acted coquettishly towards his father: "Dad, please say something for me."
Huo Hongzheng didn't say anything, nor did he turn his head to look at him, he just lowered his eyes and showed no expression.
It was only then that Mrs. Huo, who had been watching everyone's actions, realized something was wrong.
In the past, no matter how big a mistake Shiyu made, even if he once pushed a feverish Huo Zhiyan into an artificial lake, Huo Hongzheng would only scold the bastard for being careless.
Why today...
He didn't say a word.
Mrs. Huo saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly winked at her daughter-in-law.
Seeing the look in her mother-in-law's eyes, Qi Ruoyan panicked for a moment, but she still stood up and said softly: "I...I was right next to her at the time, Shiyu...Shiyu was indeed careless."
After that, Zhai Li, who had nothing to do with her, said, "Lili, you...you saw it too, right?"
Only then did Zhai Li clear her throat, put on a smile, nodded symbolically, and said "hmm".
Mrs. Huo's shoulders relaxed and she quickly stepped forward to help her baby girl up. She said distressedly: "Okay, okay, everyone has proven it for you. Just stop crying. If you cry again, your grandparents will feel bad."
Huo Shiyu lowered his head, stood up slowly, suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and sat on the sofa, but was not happy to get up: "Although I accidentally burned her, she slapped me. She did it on purpose. .”
As he spoke, he came closer to the old lady and kept acting coquettishly: "Grandma, look at my face. The right side is swollen. If you don't believe me, just touch it."
The old lady of the Huo family glanced at her granddaughter, her expression always serious, then raised her eyes and glanced at Huo Zhiyan, who was standing in the distance.
"Ayan, come here and talk."
Huo Zhiyan walked over without squinting and stood at the other end of the sofa. His eyes were fixed on Huo Shiyu from beginning to end, with no intention of giving in.
The old lady is such a shrewd person. She has lived a long time and is not unable to understand this matter.
But in order to ease the current situation, he still acted as a peacemaker.
"Okay, let's forget it!" She waved her hand and asked pretending not to care: "I remember there is a surveillance camera in the atrium, right Hong Zheng?"
Huo Hongzheng raised his head and was about to reply.
Huo Shiyu on the side quickly took over the topic: "The surveillance is broken!"
Mrs. Huo's heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, was racing again. She really wanted to stuff this little brainless thing back into her stomach.
The old lady's eyes flickered and she looked at her meaningfully: "Oh? Such a coincidence?"
Huo Shiyu smiled innocently: "Yeah, just... it was bad yesterday..."
"Bar……"
At the end of the sentence, he glanced at his mother out of the corner of his eye.
Mrs. Huo almost died, and could only squeeze out a wry smile: "Well... I... I just took Shiyu to the computer room to check the surveillance system and found out. Several servants can testify."
The more she spoke, the quieter she became. She simply refused to do anything and pulled Huo Shiyu to leave: "It's too late now. Shiyu, please go back and take a shower and rest. Dad, Mom, both children are at fault for this matter. Today That’s it.”
After saying that, he pulled his daughter-in-law again: "Ruoyan, don't you also want to go back to the room to accompany Xiaobao?"
At this point, several women present had to leave.
Huo Zhiyan saw the right moment and coughed lightly, speaking in a moderate voice: "Since everyone knows this matter well, I won't act with you."
Mrs. Huo paused in her footsteps.
I saw that Huo Zhiyan had turned his finger on Huo Mingxiao: "Brother, the Huo family has such great malice towards my wife, so they probably won't welcome me. That agreement might as well be invalidated. There is nothing I can do about the funds."
What he said was very resonant.
What was revealed in his tone was not deliberation, but unquestionable determination.
Mrs. Huo looked at her eldest son in disbelief, and then at her husband with clenched fists. The bad feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Not normal, so abnormal.
What she was afraid of was not what Huo Zhiyan said, but the expressions of her husband and son after Huo Zhiyan finished speaking.
Why don't they refute, scold, or ridicule?
Why silence?
Coupled with the frequent bad news coming out of the Huo family's business recently, Mrs. Huo's heart suddenly turned upside down.
She quickly grabbed her daughter who was carelessly walking out, dragged her back, and said in a trembling voice: "Shiyu, it's your fault today. It's Xiao Lu's first time to come to the house. He's an honored guest. You... you'll come to the house tomorrow." She apologized."
"What?" Huo Shiyu screamed: "Mom, what did you say?"
Mrs. Huo quickly covered her mouth and was about to say a few more words to her.
But Huo Hongzheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and stared at her with bulging eyes: "Get out of here, get out!"
Mrs. Huo was so frightened that her legs went weak, and Huo Shiyu, who had been so arrogant just now, instantly turned red.
Several people left the living room in a panic, and the atmosphere became subtle.
At this time, the old man and the old lady who were too lazy to ask about their children and grandchildren were tired of watching these vulgar dramas. They helped each other and stood up: "Just talk about what you have to say. Don't yell at home. It's unbecoming."
After that, the two old men took the first step.
The entire living room became quiet again.
Seeing that something was wrong, Huo Mingchrome wanted to run away, but his elder brother held him down: "Sit tight."
Huo Zhiyan narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Everyone has left, does brother still have anything to say?"
Huo Mingxiao changed his face: "Ayan, you know my sister's temper. She has been spoiled since she was a child, but after all, the relationship between her and her siblings is a private matter and has nothing to do with the interests of the group."
"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Huo Zhiyan glanced at him with a determined expression: "My wife and I cannot afford this treasure land of the Huo family, so we should take the first step."
Huo Hongzheng raised his eyes suddenly: "Stop."
Huo Mingxiao became more and more panicked when his father spoke, and Huo Mingchrome on the side was even dumbfounded.
"What happened today is Shiyu's fault. Tomorrow morning, let Mu Qing take her to apologize to Xiao Lu in person." The words in Huo Hongzheng's mouth seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Huo Zhiyan's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "Apologise? No need."
He folded his hands in front of his chest, and his dark eyes were as clear as an ancient well, with a hint of majesty in his disdain.
The current situation of the Huo family is purely a matter of force, and everyone present knows how long it can last.
The reason why Huo Zhiyan dared to come was that he had full confidence in this negotiation.
Huo Hongzheng snorted coldly and suddenly emphasized his tone: "Four points."
Huo Zhiyan raised his eyes slightly: "Deal!"
…
It wasn't until Huo Zhiyan left the living room that Huo Mingchrome woke up from a dream. He hesitated and asked: "Brother, he...the four points dad just mentioned are the equity of Oceanwide?"
Huo Mingxiao gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay!" Huo Mingke sneered: "I only have two points, and you, brother, only have three points. Why does he want so many? When I saw him like that just now, I thought he was really here to stand up for his wife, and he did it for a long time. , are you here using your wife’s affairs as a bargaining chip?”
"Shut up!" Huo Hongzheng suppressed his anger and scolded: "Don't mention this matter again. Now that Ayan has the idea of inheriting the family business, Mingxiao, you, the eldest brother, have to work harder. .”
Huo Mingxiao's eyes were solemn and he responded humbly: "I understand."
In fact, he was already furious in his heart: Huo Zhiyan, don't be too happy too early. Are you worthy of competing with me?
