“So you added fingerprint locks all over the third floor and sealed the rooftop?” Huo Jiuxiao dragged Lin Wanli to the sofa opposite the two elders.
“Since we’re going to live in this house, everyone should take care of each other’s living habits. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I’m doing.
After all, it’s just your wedding. There’s no need for everyone to accommodate you, right? Other people in this family have to live.”
Huo Jiuxiao leaned back and placed one hand on the sofa to circle Lin Wanli. Then, he raised his eyebrows and said, “But I think this family doesn’t need anyone else to live in. Isn’t there something you haven’t understood?”
“The Huo Family is under my name,” Huo Jiuxiao said as he looked around the living room.
Yun Shujing’s expression changed.
“Does occupying a magpie’s nest make you feel that much of a sense of belonging?”
“Didn’t that old man tell you that the Huo Family was built according to my mother’s preferences? Every brick and tile here is the color and look that my mother likes. Even the teacup in your hand was bought from Italy by my mother. Living in the house of the wife and using the cup of the wife, you think you’re the wife?”
Yun Shujing’s hand trembled, and she almost threw the cup away.
“Before I kick you guys out, I’ll return everything in the house to its original state. Whether it’s the third floor or the fifth floor, I can go there whenever I want. I don’t have to give you face.”
At this moment, Yun Shujing’s face was already flushed red.
She really wanted to curse the person in front of her, but her upbringing didn’t allow it, and she didn’t have the confidence.
She had been with the Huo Family for so many years, but she had never thought that the Huo family would still have to live here shamelessly under Huo Jiuxiao’s name. Once they moved out, it would mean that they were chased out of the house. How embarrassing would that be?
“Don’t even think about setting rules on me and my people. When you couldn’t get rid of me, you should have known that this day would come sooner or later. As for the wedding at the end of the year, I’ve never said that I’m going to hold it. I don’t have any plans or plan to do so in the future.”
“You’re the eldest brother. The wedding must be held before the wedding. Also, you can’t mistreat Wanli.” Huo Qingxiao said after Huo Jiuxiao had lost his temper.
It was as if the person who was humiliated just now had nothing to do with him.
Yun Shujing was so angry that tears were already flowing out of her eyes. However, there was no other way. There was no one standing beside her, and her children were completely useless. They only stand by the side and watch the show silently.
“I’ve already brought her here. Old man, don’t push your luck. Otherwise, I’ll kick you out too.”
“Mom, why didn’t you prepare a house for your wedding with Dad?” Huo Zizhen’s defenses were broken. As long as she thought about the home she had lived in for so many years, it was actually Huo Jiuxiao’s territory, she felt uneasy and completely lost her confidence.
This made her feel ashamed and angry, so ashamed and angry that she wanted to vent.
“Don’t say anymore.” Yun Shujing warned her.
“Dad, aren’t you too stingy? Mom gave birth to three children for you, but you didn’t even prepare a decent house for her. No matter what, Mom is a famous and wealthy daughter. You’ve gone too far.” Huo Weichen also joined the battle.
“Stop talking. I’ve worked so hard for this family all these years, but in the end,
I’m doing it for someone else. How can anyone understand my bitterness?”
The reason why they were acting like this was because they hoped that the culprit, Huo Qingxiao, would come out and say something fair or make up for it.
After all, Huo Jiuxiao had reiterated his ownership of the house, so no matter how he lived in it, he felt awkward and aggrieved.
At this moment, Huo Qingxiao raised his head and asked, “Does the Huo Family lack a house? You can move out at any time.”
The siblings were furious.
“Dad, you’ve always been biased and don’t care much about us siblings. We don’t force you to do this, but Mom has been with you for so many years, yet you’re always wary of her and hurt her. She has done so much for the Huo Family, and how much credit has she made for you to consolidate your career?
How could vou bear to treat her like this? She has to endure such humiliation when she’s already middle-aged?”
“If we don’t agree, the Huo Corporation’s shareholders won’t agree either.” Huo Zizhen became tough.
Because in this family, she had always been the one acting with Yun Shujing.
The mother-daughter pair wanted to portray Huo Qingxiao as a heartless man who would mistreat his family.
However, everyone knew that Huo Qingxiao was unfaithful ever since Lu Xinyun died.
At this moment, Master Xiao commented, [Mistress doesn’t have the self-awareness of a mistress.]
“If you didn’t lock the door and seal the roof, no one would care who this house is under and who it’s for.” Huo Qingxiao asked Yun Shujing and her daughter, “You guys did it for Huo Jiuxiao to see. Will he tolerate you?”
The few of them fell silent.
“Wanli came on the first day, and you already said ugly words and showed off your might. Whose face are you throwing? There was so much disinfectant in the house, who were you going to use it for? Don’t blame others for retaliating when you’ve done something dirty, because I won’t have any sympathy for this kind of humiliation.”
Huo Qingxiao wanted to end this farce, but at this moment, the butler came to report.
“Master, Third Madam has an urgent matter to see you.”
“Let her in.” Huo Qingxiao sat back down.
Soon, Third Madam Huo walked in with tears in her eyes. She threw herself in front of Huo Qingxiao. “Big Brother, no matter what, you have to uphold justice for me today.”
“Changmei, what are you doing? Get up first!”
“This is a matter of life and death, so I don’t dare to stand up. I only hope that the elders of the Huo Family can come to the ancestral hall to be judged together. Regarding Yun Shujing’s plot to cause my son’s premature death, I hope to get justice!” Third Madam Huo pointed at Yun Shujing and said excitedly.
“Shen Changmei, you’re slandering me!” Yun Shujing stood up from the sofa and shouted excitedly.
“I have witnesses and material evidence. I can’t accuse you! I’ve always blamed this on Lu Ziyun until recently. It turns out that you’re the culprit. You’re simply heartless!” Shen Changmei scolded loudly.
“Since we have evidence, we can only explain this matter in the ancestral hall.”
The richer a family was, the more old-fashioned they were in certain aspects. However, it was also because of this old-fashioned rule that the family had clear rewards and punishments.
Yun Shujing panicked.
She had been fine for decades, but when Huo Jiuxiao returned to the Huo Family, Shen Changmei found evidence.
Yun Shujing cast a hateful gaze at Huo Jiuxiao, but Huo Jiuxiao didn’t care because this was just the appetizer.
“Let’s go to the ancestral hall to watch the show.” In the chaos, Huo Jiuxiao said to Lin Wanli.
[Can 1 go?]
“You’re in my household register. What do you think?” Master Xiao smiled.
Third Madam Huo was really good at acting.
Presumably, this show would be very exciting..
