Yun Shujing couldn’t stand Huo Shengyuan’s presence. Everyone’s eyes were on Huo Jiuxiao, so she couldn’t help but tremble. However, it was useless. The ear-piercing discussions of the people around her were like parasites looking for a host, drilling into her ears from all directions.
At this moment, Mother Xu said to Huo Shengyuan with concern, “I asked the butler to prepare a small gift for Qingya. Give it to her when you leave. After all, Qingya is a girl and needs your care and protection. A couple will soon be fine after a fight.’
“What do you mean?” Yun Shujing didn’t understand. “Didn’t you tell me that Qingya wasn’t feeling well? Did she leave in anger?”
“Thank you, Auntie. I understand.” Huo Shengyuan ignored his mother and agreed with Mother Xu.
“Also, tell Qingya to watch her words when she calls outside. Fortunately, I heard it. If it were an outsider, it would have been bad.” Mother Xu was hinting at something.
Huo Shengyuan’s brows furrowed tightly. He didn’t know what Mother Xu was talking about, but it was obvious that Mu Qingya was hiding something from him.
However, Mother Xu’s attitude made Yun Shujing lose control of her temper. Her son came to Deer Pavilion every year, even more so than his own father’s birthday. A few years ago, he had received the love and support of the Xu family, but this year, because of Huo Jiuxiao, Mother Xu’s attitude towards Huo Shengyuan had changed 180 degrees. Wasn’t this bullying?
“Madam Xu, what did my son do wrong to make you treat him so coldly?”
Everyone was shocked by Yun Shujing’s words, especially Huo Shengyuan. He quickly grabbed his mother, but it was too late.
“You were so happy when you received the gift last year. This year, you ignored it and gave me a warning. Can you be so fickle?”
“Mom!” Huo Shengyuan panicked and pulled Yun Shujing behind him.
However, Yun Shujing pushed him away and said loudly, “I just feel that it’s not worth it for you. You’ve poured out your heart and lungs, but what about others? How did she treat you? She’s trying to warn you up here. Why?”
“Dig out your heart and lungs?” Mother Xu snorted and took Yun Shujing’s anger. “You’re indeed being very sincere. You’re showing off how well the Xu family treats your son. Last night, Qingya called you at the pavilion. The servants and I heard it. The Xu family treats your son like their own son. Why? Our Xu family doesn’t have a son?”
“Auntie, if Qingya said something wrong, I’ll apologize on her behalf, but…We didn’t mean that.” Huo Shengyuan quickly explained.
“You know very well whether you have this intention or not, but Shengyuan, do you have a clear conscience about the Xu family?”
“Auntie, I don’t understand.” Huo Shengyuan’s eyes were filled with grievance.
“You don’t understand. Alright, then I’ll remind you.” Mrs. Xu was going to say it out loud in front of everyone. Otherwise, people would think that the Xu family had bullied Huo Shengyuan. “You know very well how Su Yuanchao treated Huiwen, right?”
“Of course, I know. I feel bad for Huiwen.”
“You felt that Huiwen wasn’t worth it, so you went to work with Su Yuanchao and gave him money?” Mother Xu was so angry that she laughed. “It’s none of my business who you want to discuss business with, but I really can’t stand it. You say that you love Huiwen, but at the same time, you’re so close to the beast who hurt Huiwen. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with you?” After hearing Mother Xu’s words, all the guests present were shocked.
Was this the second young master of the Hunts whom they had been praising so much just now? The future heir of the Huo Corporation? This kind of person was too hypocritical.
“I didn’t want things to get to this point. I didn’t want others to think that the Xu family was petty and didn’t see the big picture. However, your mother’s barrage of questions made me wonder what the Xu family had done to you and your mother.”
At that moment, Huo Shengyuan, who had been exposed, felt as if he had been cursed. He didn’t know how to move at all because it was too embarrassing.
“If you think I’ve wronged you, we can verify it with the Family Su. Of course, if you can give me a reason why you have to work together, I can apologize to you for what I said just now. Otherwise, Huiwen is just a tool for you. You’ve never sympathized with her..”
