Su Wanwan frowned at the man in front of her with his hair standing on end.
He was probably in his early twenties, wore sunglasses, dressed in a gaudy floral shirt, had a bandage on his head, and wore a semi-long hair in the middle – reminiscent of…
A small-time thug you can find anywhere on the streets.
“Who are you?’1 She didn’t remember knowing such a character.
Hearing this, Huo Zhexi almost fainted in anger.
She cracked his head open, got him grounded and scolded for several days by Huo Yuanshan, and now she’s innocently asking who he is?
He pointed fiercely at her face and said, “Speak! Why are you here in my home?”
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, sounding genuinely innocent, “This is your home?”
“What an idiot!”
Huo Zhexi suddenly removed his sunglasses, and the next second…
“Damn! You’re not here to complain to my grandpa, are you?” contemporary romance
Grandpa?
Su Wanwan seemed to make sense of it, so this thug was Huo Jingshen’s younger brother?
The little brother was already cursing, “Listen up, you stinky girl, I haven’t settled the bar issue with you yet. If you ever mention the drug incident that I did to you, I… I will kill you!”
“Drugged?” Su Wanwan grabbed the point, “When did you ever drug me?”
Huo Zhexi:”…”
Damn!
She didn’t know about the drugging?
So why did he confess out of nowhere?
Is it too late to pretend that nothing happened?
“Zhexi!”
The voice of Mrs. Huo had already come over.
The once ferocious Huo Zhexi instantly turned soft, “Grandma.”
Mrs. Huo walked into the living room and slapped him on the arm, “The moment you get home, you start shouting! I can hear you all the way! Didn’t you see we have guests?”
Huo Zhexi bulged his eyes, “Guests?”
“Not exactly guests, this young lady is going to be your sister-in-law soon”. Mrs. Huo said, and she took a good look at Su Wanwan. She didn’t have time to look closely before…
“What the hell!” Huo Zhexi shouted.
“She’s your big brother’s girlfriend, the one he’s about to marry,” Mrs. Huo patiently explained, immediately walking up to Su Wanwan.
Finally, she could have a close look!
This young girl was really good-looking, with a delicate, oval face, fair skin, beautiful features. The kind that would stand out in a crowd at a glance.
Especially those pretty phoenix eyes, carrying a little bit of a peach blossoming allure. Even without any makeup now, the corners of her eyes were upwards, which seemed particularly spirited when she smiled.
After inspecting her from head to toe, Mrs. Huo was relieved.
Never mind that she couldn’t marry the mayor’s daughter as a granddaughter-in-law, as long as Ashen liked this little girl and they had a good relationship, that was better than anything else.
“Grandma!” Huo Zhexi rushed over, “This stinky girl is bad news! She seduced me at the bar on purpose. You can’t let her marry big brother!”
“What nonsense are you talking?”
“I’m not spouting nonsense. What’s more, this wound on my head was because of her!”
Mrs. Huo frowned, apparently not believing him.
After all, Huo Zhexi was a tall man over one meter eight, and Su Wanwan was a delicate little girl. It just didn’t look like he was beaten by her!
Su Wanwan had a sudden realization, so that was the guy from the bar that night?
She had had too much to drink and wasn’t in a good mood.
Mo Weiyi once said that when she got drunk, she became a completely different person. She became unbridled and destructive, even men couldn’t handle her.
Just as she was considering how to explain it…
“You think I don’t know your personality?” The old woman snorted coldly, “It must be that you saw a pretty young lady and had lustful thoughts, even attempted to harass her. You deserved to be beaten up! You’re lucky she didn’t kick your privates!
“Pfft!”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh and hurriedly lowered her head to hold it in.
Huo Zhexi glared at her maliciously, then continued to distort the story, “Grandma, I really didn’t do anything. It was this Su Wanwan who seduced me first, and now she’s here to seduce big brother. She must have ulterior motives!”
“Su Wanwan?” Old Lady Huo repeated it, then happily took Su Wanwan’s hand, “You’re so beautiful, and your name is so lovely. Grandma likes you.”
Huo Zhexi:”…”
After praising Su Wanwan, Old Lady Huo turned to Huo Zhexi. Her expression changed 180 degrees, and she warned him sternly, “Zhexi, I will put up with your antics at ordinary times but not today. Your big brother is turning thirty, a man of that age, and it’s not easy to find such a beautiful wife. If you scare off my daughter-in-law, I won’t let you off!”
Huo Zhexi was so angry that he almost spat blood, “Grandmother, am I really your grandson?”
“If you weren’t my grandson, I would be happy enough to eat an extra two bowls of rice!” Old Madam Huo replied without any hesitation.
Huo Zhexi started to speak again when suddenly, there was a loud crash from the study.

“This is ridiculously insane!”
Inside the study, papers and stationary were scattered all over the floor. Old man Huo stood behind the desk, gasping for breath, and his eyes were full of anger.
Compared to his intense anger, Huo Jingshen’s face didn’t change at all. He even bent down to pick up the items on the floor, one by one, and put them back on the table.
His tone was indifferent as well.
“Grandpa, you should take care of your health. The doctor said those with high blood pressure should keep their mood pleasant.”
Old man Huo’s face stiffened.
Under Huo Jingshen’s calm yet seemingly all-knowing gaze, he abruptly turned around.
After gradually calming down, old man Huo started speaking again, “If you truly dislike the mayor’s daughter and don’t want to get involved with the political world, that’s fine. I’ll ask Weng Ying to help you find a good girl from a respectable family, with a crystal-clear background. But this Su Wanwan won’t do. Do you know that the Su family never admitted to having her as their daughter? No one knows who her birth mother is, do you know why that is? Because disgrace should be kept within the family! If you were to marry her and her mother’s past were to surface, where would I, Huo Yuanshan, put my face? Where would our Huo family….”
“Did you not advise my father in the same way back then, Grandfather?”
A single phrase made old man Huo freeze. fre(e)
As someone who had lived past his seventieth birthday, his biggest concern was…
Due to differences in opinions regarding marriage matters, he fell out with his favorite eldest son.
As a result, father and son became irreconcilable enemies. Huo Zecheng, with his wife and children, gave up everything resolutely and emigrated to Y Country.
Several years ago, Huo Zecheng died as a stranger in a foreign land, and father and son never saw each other for the last time.
“After my mother passed away, my father lived in a trance every day. Every time I went home, he always assumed that my mother had come back. Sometimes he even mistook Jinghua.”
Looking at the words “able to let go” on the wall, Huo Jing Shen’s voice was low and bland, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
“Then one day, Jinghua was filming abroad, and I was negotiating with people outside. The servant didn’t watch him, and he ran out alone and accidentally fell from the tenth floor’s staircase of the mall. That mall was newly built, and every floor was made of glass….”
“Stop speaking!”
The old man interrupted in an unsteady voice.
Huo Jing Shen didn’t continue.
There was a deathly silence in the study..
