Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the day the father and son returned to the country, everyone in the Huo family was waiting outside the villa.
After ten years of not seeing each other, the Huo siblings had always felt that Huo Jiuxiao was living an extremely miserable life, a life where he had to lick blood on his blade. Perhaps he had even become wild and uncivilized.
The Huo family’s fourth daughter, Huo Zizhen, even complained to the third son, Huo Weichen, “He’s deaf. Is there a need for everyone to wait here? He can’t hear us anyway.”
When Yun Shujing heard this, she turned around and glared at Huo Zizhen. She chided, “Your elder brother has been wandering outside for so many years. He must have suffered a lot. Don’t spout nonsense here.”
Huo Zizhen rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Huo Weichen also smiled and said, “Mom, that’s enough. You’re overacting.”
They laughed. At this time, only Huo Shengyuan, the second son of the Huo family, was expressionless and looked a little gloomy.
Huo Zizhen quickly reminded Huo Weichen, “Stop laughing. Look at Second Brother. ”
They felt that Huo Jiuxiao’s return was a complete joke. What kind of joke was this? Handing over a world-renowned pharmaceutical company to a deaf person? Even if their father was crazy, the shareholders weren’t. Besides, how much had their second brother done for the Huo Corporation all these years and how much reputation had he earned? How could Huo Jiuxiao compare to him?
Huo Qingxiao was the first to get out of the car, followed by Huo Jiuxiao, who stepped out with his long legs until his entire body was exposed. Because of the difference between the two mothers, the difference between the children was also very obvious.
Huo Jiuxiao was too tall, and his face was striking. Coupled with the natural noble aura on his body, Huo Zizhen and the others held their breaths.
The reason why a king was a king was not because of what he had encountered, but because he was born with a terrifying deterrence. There were some people who could wear the simplest black shirt but could wear a sense of luxury that others couldn’t afford. He didn’t need to make his clothes spotless. Just a casual outfit could make others feel pressured.
“Big Brother.”
“Big Brother.”
“Big…”
Regardless of whether he could hear them or not, they all greeted him.
However, Huo Jiuxiao acted as if he didn’t see them and directly brushed past them, not even giving Yun Shujing any chance to act.
He was a legitimate son, and his status was different from an illegitimate son.
This was a hundred-year-old rule of the Huo family. On this point, Yun Shujing’s children deserved to be inferior to Huo Jiuxiao. Therefore, even if they were ignored, they could not complain.
“Qingxiao, you’ve worked hard. Hurry back to your room and rest. The doctor is already waiting in the room.” Yun Shujing greeted him with a smile.
“Jiuxiao has returned…”
“I know. I will get along well with him.”
“I’m telling all of you not to provoke him.” Huo Qingxiao said, “I don’t want to talk about the things that happened behind the scenes, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t know. I’m just afraid that you’re courting trouble.”
This was completely different from what he had imagined. They thought that they could mock Huo Jiuxiao for being uncouth, but who would have thought that their big brother was still their big brother? He had been gone for over a decade, but his style and temperament were still so outstanding. Thinking about how he was wearing a suit and killing people with a knife, it was really not just an ordinary type of cool.
“It seems that other than being deaf, we won’t be able to gain any advantage.”
Huo Weichen whispered to Huo Zizhen from behind, “I wonder if Second
Brother feels pressured.”
“If it weren’t for the blood feud, I would have liked Big Brother a little. That face is unique, handsome, and suave. Unfortunately, he’s deaf.”
Although the two of them were joking, there was killing intent hidden in their hearts.
Unlike Huo Weichen, Huo Zizhen was not ambitious. She did not fully support her second brother because she also wanted power.
Since the people of the previous generation had already fought and killed, the people of this generation did not have to be humble. Of course, they had to fight to the death to enjoy themselves. After all, they were not kind people.
The entire Huo family had eight floors, five of which were above ground and three were underground. There were some public areas on the first floor, and the rest was Huo Qingxiao and his wife’s living space. The rest of the floors corresponded to family members, and the older family members would be on the lower floor.
Therefore, Huo Jiuxiao’s room was on the second floor. It occupied an area of 950 square meters, which was also a super large flat floor.
After Huo Jiuxiao entered, he looked around. This place was familiar yet strange. The things inside were still his belongings from when he was a teenager, including the clothes and jewelry in the cloakroom.
[Eldest Young Master is back. He can’t hear us. How can we communicate with him? He can’t hear us knocking on the door.]
This was the butler’s inner voice.
[Eldest Young Master’s figure and appearance are too superior.]
It came from a helper.
[That person has returned to the Hunts safely, but this bastard hasn’t made his next move yet.]
This was from… Yun Shujing.
Huo Jiuxiao stood in the cloakroom, looking at his empty watch case, his brows tightly knitted together.
[Huo Xinhong, that good-for-nothing. He hasn’t even gotten rid of a deaf person in ten years, and he still has the guts to brag to me. If he wasn’t injured, I would have killed that piece of trash in Incheon long ago.]
[I don’t want to listen to his nonsense at all. I really can’t count on someone who has a broken arm and a limp.]
[But so far, there are no better weapons. The children’s hands cannot be stained with blood.]
In Incheon, Korea, a broken arm and a limp.
With this information, Huo Jiuxiao sent a message to Duan Yanxing.
“I’m looking for someone, Huo Xinhong.”
Duan Yanxing first sent a question mark, followed by an exclamation mark. He typed back, “Have you been back at the Huo family’s house for even ten minutes?”
“Incheon isn’t big, and his features are obvious. I’ll give you three days.” “What do you plan to do after you find him?” Duan Yanxing asked.
“Give the Huo family a welcome gift first.”
There had been no trace of Huo Xinhong, and the Huo Corporation had felt as if there were thorns on their backs all these years. This was especially true for the shareholders who had supported Huo Qingxiao back then. They had been unable to sleep or eat for a long time.
Wasn’t this the way to get prestige?
“Then, tie him to my side and make him work for me.”
Duan Yanxing felt that he had gone crazy, but he was not that crazy. How was this possible?
If he really did manage to get and control Huo Xinhong, then the other Huo family members would go crazy as well, especially Yun Shujing.
However, Huo Jiuxiao’s return to the Huo family was originally a member elimination plan. Ten years of deep hatred was not something that could be easily forgotten. Moreover, Huo Jiuxiao was not a magnanimous person.
Those brothers were probably still feeling smug because Huo Jiuxiao was deaf, but they didn’t know that they were already walking on the edge of the cliff.
On the top floor, in the infinity pool.
At this moment, it was occupied by Huo Zizhen and her siblings. Some were swimming, some were drinking tea, and everyone felt anticipation and excitement for their future life…
“Second Brother, aren’t you busy today? Are you free to accompany us here to bask in the sun, or are you scared silly when you see that Big Brother has come back?” Huo Zizhen looked at Huo Shengyuan, who was lost in thought. Then, she commented with a smile, “Deaf is back. He’s going to marry a beggar soon. Oh no, I feel like the air around me is not good..”
