In the evening, Jinzhou was filled with sunset clouds and the sky was orange mixed with pink. It was like a watercolor painting in the hands of children or a fairytale space imagined by children.

Huo Shengyuan was told to bring his fiancée home for dinner. It was obviously because of the wedding date.

After the shareholders’ criticism of Huo Qingxiao, Huo Shengyuan was confident about the wedding.

When they reached home, the butler welcomed them and pulled out the chairs for them in the dining room.

At a long table, the family was suddenly speechless. Because of Huo Jiuxiao’s return, the conflict in the family was getting deeper and deeper.

“The reason I called you guys back today is to tell you guys to cancel your marriage.”

The whole family was shocked by Huo Qingxiao’s words, especially Yun Shujing, who couldn’t understand at all. Huo Shengyuan had already given in and agreed to hold the wedding on the same day. What else was Huo Jiuxiao not satisfied with?

“Dad, Qingya and I have a good relationship. There’s no reason to cancel it.” Huo Shengyuan replied.

“Huo Jiuxiao was born in a legitimate marriage. There’s no reason for him to give way to his second brother.” Huo Qingxiao said with a cold face.

“Dad, this isn’t fair.”

“Fair? Do you have the guts to settle the score with me for that car accident ten years ago? Talking about fairness with me? You know better than me what Huo Jiuxiao has suffered all these years. Now that he’s back in the Huo Family, you want to use a wedding date to trample and humiliate him. Do you think I’m dead?”

The entire table fell silent.

“The shareholders who called me today aren’t very smart. They exposed themselves too early. Don’t you think so, Huo Shengyuan?”

Huo Shengyuan’s face was livid.

“All of you have your own bargaining chips, but Huo Jiuxiao only has me. If I can’t even be this biased, then wouldn’t I, Huo Qingxiao, have taken charge of the Huo Family for nothing for the first half of my life? You have three choices. Either postpone it, cancel it, or get out of the Huo Family.”

Huo Shengyuan had miscalculated.

And it was a huge mistake.

He had no idea that he had touched Huo Qingxiao’s bottom line. Huo Qingxiao had been blackmailed too many times in his previous life, so he hated the people around him the most for pressuring and coercing him at every turn. They even dragged the company into this. This was purely courting death.

“Uncle, I know that Eldest Brother has suffered. We all understand, but the wedding invitation has already been sent out and everything has been prepared. It’s indeed a little difficult for you to ask us to stop at this time. After all, you don’t want to have a bad reputation of being biased, right?”

“Why don’t we do this? We’ll speed up the preparations for Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law. With our financial resources, it won’t be difficult for us to do two rounds.”

Mu Qingya’s compromise didn’t seem to be an issue.

However, anyone would laugh their heads off if they asked the Mu family to pay for Huo Jiuxiao’s marriage.

“It’s not that there’s no room for negotiation, but someone used the wrong method.’

“Shengyuan is too anxious. It won’t happen again.” Yun Shujing quickly tried to smooth things over for Huo Shengyuan. “Why don’t we wait for Jiuxiao to come back and ask for his opinion?”

Huo Qingxiao didn’t say anything else.

“Old Master, Eldest Young Master’s ears are not good. If you were so tough from the beginning, wouldn’t you be making enemies for him?” At this moment, the butler also cleverly joined the battle.

It seemed like he was speaking up for Huo Jiuxiao, but in fact, everyone understood that he was plotting for Huo Shengyuan.

“I’m afraid even the grass in this house is in your hands, right?” Huo Qingxiao sneered.

“Old Master, why don’t we wait for Eldest Young Master to bring Young Madam home before discussing this matter?”

Now that the main person was not around, it was indeed difficult to come to a conclusion.

Besides, Huo Qingxiao also wanted to see if Huo Jiuxiao could handle the issue of the wedding date himself.

Therefore, he took a step back. “We can discuss this matter later. However, butler, you’ve really impressed me.”

The butler smiled bitterly and retreated to the side in fear.

At the moment, Huo Qingxiao was suspicious of him, but it represented the Huo Family’s trust in him. This person was about to stand on their side.

But was that really the case?

After the meal, the butler sent Huo Qingxiao back to the study. At this moment,

Huo Qingxiao looked at the butler and asked, “Why did you decide to help

Jiuxiao?”

“Old Master, I don’t dare to stand sides,” the butler replied hurriedly.

“Do you think I don’t know you?” Huo Qingxiao smiled with a relaxed expression.

“Old Master, some people are born kings and can’t escape at all. Moreover, don’t you think that you and your son are extremely similar? Neither of you was interested in this position, but you had no choice but to come back and take it.” The butler said, “I’m just choosing the winner. However, Old Master should forget about this matter, if you wish for Eldest Young Master to get what he wants.”

Huo Qingxiao hated the Huo Family’s rules and was tired of the infighting in the family. He had placed all his hopes of breaking all rules on Huo Jiuxiao, because he felt that his son would definitely create a new situation at all costs.

He looked forward to that day.

On the third floor, Yun Shujing was venting her anger in Huo Shengyuan’s room. She almost smashed the thousand-year-old antique in the room.

“You’ve worked so hard for Huo Family for ten years, but you can’t even get a punctual wedding date! If I had known that Huo Jiuxiao was such an eyesore, I would have killed him before.”

“Mom, it’s useless to say this now.” Huo Shengyuan reminded her, “Dad will definitely dilute the shares of those antiques and eliminate them completely. I was too careless.”

“You have to be more careful in the future.” Yun Shujing instructed, “You’ve already reached this position. You’re only one step away. I’ll definitely let you get what you want. As for those who stand in your way, I’ll make them suffer a hundred times more than Lu Ziyun did ten years ago.”

Huo Shengyuan didn’t say anything, but he was very unhappy.

For the past ten years, he had gotten used to everything being under control. However, when Huo Jiuxiao returned, some things started to deviate from the track, making him unusually anxious.

Therefore, after dinner, he left the Huo Family and returned to the company. However, he asked his assistant to arrange for someone to be in the lounge of his office for him to vent.

This was his way of transferring the pain!

On the other side, Mu Qingya didn’t let Huo Shengyuan send her off and was pacing around Huo Zizhen’s room.

“Sister Qingya, I’ve seen Lin Wanli in Jinchuan. She’s a ruthless woman. Perhaps that’s why Father likes her. He wants her to be Big Brother’s knife. If we let her enter the family safely, then you and second brother’s days in the future will probably be very difficult. After all, third brother and I are already at our wits’ end. All our hopes are on you.”

Huo Zizhen also started borrowing knives.

“Only by suppressing her can we have a good life. I can pretend to build a good relationship with her and then work with you from the inside.”

The butler sent Huo Jiuxiao a text message about everything that had happened during dinner at the Huo Family home.

After Huo Jiuxiao read the message, he sneered. It seemed like there was really going to be a big show on the day he returned to the Huo Family.

He only hoped that Butler Qin wouldn’t disappoint him.

At this moment, Lin Wanli, who had just taken a shower, came out of the bathroom and sat on Master Xiao’s lap.

[Master, are you indulging?]
