Huo Xuenong and Luo Jialan had been in Europe for more than a year, but Xie Shenxing hadn't visited them even once.
At first, they thought that Xie Shenxing was too busy. After all, he was the head of the Xie family. How many things needed his approval every day?
In the end, they found out later that Xie Shenxing was no longer in charge of the family affairs. Most of the family affairs had been handed over to his son to take care of. Only then did they know his attitude towards these two people …
The two of them stayed in one of the Xie Family's courtyards, not daring to cause any trouble.
After returning from Europe, Xie Shenxing didn't send them off.
Huo Xuenong didn't dare to see Xie Shenxing because of his wife, so Xie Shenxing didn't want to see them in Europe. He was actually relieved deep down in his heart, but it didn't look good on his face.
If Gu Nianzhi hadn't helped Song Jinning and Luo Xinxue in the lawsuit and implicated Zhang Feng, the Xie's wouldn't have known about it and wouldn't have treated him so coldly.
Thinking of this, Huo Xuenong's gaze toward Gu Nianzhi became even more sinister.
Don't you think about whether you're worthy of hugging this thigh?
Did she think that the Huo Family would obediently marry her just because she was connected to the Xie Family?
Hehe, this is China, not France.
This was more than a hundred years later, not more than a hundred years ago.
Huo Xuenong straightened his slightly hunched back.
"It's being cautious, right? I haven't seen you for many years, but you're still as strong as ever, hahahaha … "Huo Xuenong smiled as he walked towards Xie Shenxing.
Huo Guanchen glared at Huo Shaoheng and stepped forward. "Why didn't you inform us earlier that you were coming?"
Xie Shenxing was still kind to Huo Guanchen. After all, he was his nephew, and he had watched him grow up.
His expression cleared up a little, and he nodded. "I told Shaoheng not to make a big fuss. I'm returning to China to deal with some personal matters. "
Huo Guanchen smiled and said, "He's just being immature. Even if it's a private matter, it's still a matter of national importance. How can he just not say it? — — Shaoheng, you should review this matter with the organization. You don't know what's important, and you don't know who's close to you. How is that how you do things? "
Huo Shaoheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Xie Shenxing couldn't take it anymore. He said angrily, "What's wrong? Now that I'm not in my position, no one listens to my words? Haha, if Shaoheng is punished by your organization because he listened to me, it seems like you don't want me to return to China at all! "
"No, no! I said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry! "Cold sweat broke out on Huo Guanchen's forehead as he quickly apologized to Xie Shenxing.
Xie Shenxing suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a straight face, "Alright, we're all one family here. There's no need to be so formal."
He led Gu Nianzhi to the group sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down.
Luo Jialan clenched her fists tightly, unable to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
She wanted to say that Gu Nianzhi wasn't a member of the Huo family, so why was she allowed to stay here?
Even if they were engaged, they weren't legally married. Her surname wasn't Huo!
Of course, she knew that picking on Gu Nianzhi at this time would only make Huo Shaoheng and Xie Shenxing dislike her even more.
Luo Jialan took a deep breath and retreated in order to advance. "Grandfather Huo, Uncle Huo, Old Mr. Xie, take your time. I'll leave first."
Xie Shenxing raised his eyes and glanced at her. He said coldly, "Did I say you could leave?"
Luo Jialan's body stiffened and she looked at Huo Xuenong helplessly.
Huo Xuenong quickly helped her out. "Jialan is here to take care of me. Ever since I retired, no one really cared about me. Only Jialan remembered me and chatted with me like my granddaughter-in-law. "He then gave Gu Nianzhi a provocative look.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Xuenong didn't like her and wanted Luo Jialan to be Huo Shaoheng's wife. She was mentally prepared, but when he said it out loud in front of so many people, she still felt her face burning and embarrassed.
Luo Jialan's expression didn't change. She quickly lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "You flatter me, Grandfather Huo." She then said to Gu Nianzhi, "Grandfather Huo was just joking. You won't be angry, will you? If you get angry over something like this, how will you live in the future? "
Don't think that you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor just because you married into the Huo family. There are many ways to teach her a lesson!
Huo Shaoheng frowned and didn't say anything. He only put one hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and kissed her forehead comfortingly.
Luo Jialan caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of her eye. Her dignified and magnanimous expression could no longer be maintained, and a crack appeared on her face.
They were so intimate!
He didn't even try to avoid suspicion!
She was still standing here. How dare he kiss another woman?!
And when his grandfather said that he wanted to treat her, Luo Jialan, as his granddaughter-in-law, he actually kissed another woman?
How much did he not put her in his eyes?
Luo Jialan was so angry that her entire body trembled.
The resentment in her eyes stabbed at Gu Nianzhi like throwing knives.
Gu Nianzhi buried her head in Huo Shaoheng's arms and ignored her.
Xie Shenxing took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Nianzhi. He looked at Luo Jialan, then at Huo Xuenong, and suddenly chuckled.
He looked up at Huo Guanchen and said, "Guanchen, ever since your mother passed away, your family has become more and more unruly. Whose proper daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law hang out with their father-in-law and grandfather every day? You guys aren't ashamed, but I'm ashamed for you! "
These words were too harsh, and Luo Jialan was very anxious.
If she couldn't even come to the Huo family and lose Huo Xuenong's powerful support, what else did she have?!
When Huo Xuenong heard this, his face turned as red as a piece of red cloth. "Shenxing, you're my uncle. I won't lower myself to your level. Aren't you afraid that Ziyan won't be able to rest in peace in the afterlife by saying such words?!"
"You still dare to mention Ziyan?! If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't control yourself, would she have been so angry with you?! "Xie Shenxing strode up to Huo Xuenong and raised his hand to slap him.
When Huo Xuenong was in Europe, Xie Shenxing had been stopped by his son and had swallowed his anger.
However, this time, because he had investigated the trust fund under Luo Jialan's name, he had found out some other information. Even Xie Shenxing's gentle and elegant son couldn't take it anymore, so he let him return to China to settle the score with Huo Xuenong.
Xie Shenxing was too strong. This time, he had accumulated so much anger for so many years. He mercilessly hit Huo Xuenong until he saw stars.
If it weren't for the fact that he was on crutches, he would have been slapped to the ground by Xie Shenxing.
"How dare you hit me?! It's illegal to hit someone! " Huo Xuenong was so angry that he couldn't even speak properly. He covered the side of his face that had been slapped and looked at Huo Guanchen and Huo Shaoheng. "Are you just going to watch your father and grandfather get beaten up like this by an outsider and do nothing?!"
"Outsider? Today, I'll show you what it means to be an outsider and an insider! "Xie Shenxing pointed at Huo Xuenong angrily." I'm Ziyan's biological brother! Seeing your uncle is like seeing your mother, do you understand?! I represent Ziyan, and you say I'm an outsider. Do you not treat Ziyan as your wife?! Fine, even though she's already dead, I can still get her to divorce you. Do you believe me?! "
Huo Xuenong's entire body trembled.
He couldn't afford to lose face like this!
His eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips. "You're really crazy. She's already dead, and you're still making a scene like this. Aren't you afraid that Ziyan will be disappointed?"
"Who told her to be disappointed? Don't you know that?" Xie Shenxing put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath. "In that case, there's no need to say anything else today. I came here to stay for the night, but with your attitude, I'll leave right away! "
Luo Jialan was delighted. She wanted to quietly move closer to Huo Xuenong, but after what Xie Shenxing had said just now, she was too embarrassed to get too close to Huo Xuenong.
Just as she was hesitating, Xie Shenxing added, "Then let's make a long story short. I came here specially to tell you that our Xie family is very satisfied with Nianzhi as our granddaughter-in-law. I'm here to add to her dowry. She doesn't have a family, so our Xie family will be her family from now on. Whoever makes things difficult for her will make things difficult for our Xie family. "
Huo Xuenong's lips parted and he trembled for a long time. In the end, he didn't dare to confront Xie Shenxing directly. Finally, he raised his hand dejectedly and said weakly, "Since you've said that, what else do I have to say? Anyway, I've never cared about the affairs of the younger generation. As long as you guys are happy. "With that, he turned around and was about to go upstairs with his walking stick.
Huo Shaoheng finally stopped him. "Grandfather, I want to ask about Uncle's will. Can you hand it over?"
Huo Xuenong suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his expression changed.
Fortunately, his back was facing the crowd, so they couldn't see his expression.
Huo Xuenong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thought about how to respond.
Luo Jialan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She staggered back a few steps and leaned against the mahogany vase support behind her. She stammered, "Will? Does my father have a will?! "
