Chapter 459: Huo Xiuyuan’s Late Arrival

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The name “Huo Yu” always touched Huo Hong’s sad side.

Murong Qiao’s question swept away the anger in Huo Hong’s heart, and then he felt a little lonely and nostalgic.

Which son was better?

He asked himself, but there was only one answer in his heart.

No matter how capable Huo Yichen was and how much he liked Huo Xiuyuan, it could not replace Huo Yu’s position in his heart.

“Uncle Huo?” Murong Qiao’s voice pulled his thoughts back.

Huo Hong came back to his senses. “…Of course, your feelings are more important in the matters of marriage.”

In the end, he could only give this answer.

He couldn’t tell others that his dead biological son was the best. That would be

too outrageous.

“I see.” Murong Qiao was about to say something when she was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.

Hurried footsteps approached. Clearly, an untimely “guest” had appeared.

“But we still have to pay attention to the family background, right?” Huo Xiuyuan, who had finally broken through the defense line and ran out, spoke.

He ignored Huo Hong’s threatening gaze and finally arrived at the front hall.

He directly revealed Huo Yichen’s ident.i.ty.

“Huo Yichen is an illegitimate child,” Huo Xiuyuan said bluntly. “He’s just an unpresentable b.a.s.t.a.r.d child.”

As soon as he said this, he was immediately scolded by Huo Hong.

“Huo Xiuyuan! Who allowed you to come in!”

He had clearly sent this idiot away, but he didn’t expect Huo Xiuyuan to return to the Huo Family at a time like this. Most importantly, he even caused trouble for him on such an important occasion!

Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t care less at this moment. Even Huo Hong’s dignity could not make him retreat.

He was even more determined to interfere with this engagement.

“Did I say something wrong?” Huo Xiuyuan deliberately emphasized again.

It was as if he was saying it for Murong Qiao and Murong Chen to hear.

“HUO Yichen is just your illegitimate son. He was only brought home halfway.” He said this as if it was the truth. At the same time, he glanced at Murong Chen and Murong Qiao, who were sitting at the side.

Huo Xiuyuan had a clear goal and didn’t intend to gain Murong Qiao’s favor. He knew that there was no possibility between the two of them, but this didn’t mean that Huo Yichen should benefit.

“Illegitimate child?” At this moment, Murong Chen suddenly spoke. He looked at Huo Xiuyuan unknowingly, his eyebrows raised slightly in confusion.

Huo Hong’s heart skipped a beat, but the mouth he wanted to shut was on Huo Xiuyuan. He couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to. In the next second, he heard Huo Xiuyuan say,

“That’s right.” Huo Xiuyuan laughed mockingly.

Seeing that Murong Chen was asking about him, Huo Xiuyuan immediately felt that he had said the correct thing.

He was certain that the Murong Family would definitely not be willing to let Murong Qiao marry an illegitimate child, so he deliberately said this to disrupt Huo Hong’s rhythm.

in any case, he definitely couldn’t let Huo Yichen get married today.

Huo Xiuyuan’s mind was racing, so he didn’t see Murong Qiao turn around and look at Murong Chen. The two of them had already expected this.

Huo Hong was in a fit of anger and had yet to think of a way to teach Huo Xiuyuan a lesson, so he naturally didn’t have the time to observe Murong Chen and Murong Qiao’s expressions.

Murong Qiao was still thinking about Huo Xiuyuan when he came to cause trouble. She didn’t expect him to be here just as she thought about him.

Murong Qiao even had a feeling that he was finally here.

When she outlined the plan with Huo Yichen back then, she naturally expected Huo Xiuyuan to cause trouble.

Or rather, if Huo Xiuyuan had not appeared here, Murong Qiao would have been more worried.

Because if Huo Xiuyuan was here… Huo Yichen’s operation would be much easier.

As if sensing Murong Qiao’s thoughts, Huo Yichen rode the extremely fast car straight to the company.

Since Huo Hong and Huo Xiuyuan were not around, this was the best time to take advantage of the situation.

Huo Yichen took out the doc.u.ment prepared by the butler in the car. After many thoughts flashed through his mind, he saw the towering skysc.r.a.per outside the car window.

The car made a sharp turn and stopped steadily at the entrance of the company. Huo Yichen opened the car door, got out of the car with the doc.u.ments, and strode in.

“h.e.l.lo, President—”

The security guard at the door subconsciously greeted him.

However, when a gust of wind blew past and Huo Yichen disappeared into the elevator, the security guard finally reacted.

He shuddered. “That’s not right!”

“Huo—isn’t he under house arrest by the chairman?!

By the time the security guards realized this, Huo Yichen had already swiped

his card and gone to the 32nd floor.

The board of directors had a weekly meeting today. Huo Yichen arrived at the appointed time and reached out to open the door to walk in.

“…Young President Huo?” Li Shi’s eyes widened in surprise, and an ominous feeling surfaced in his heart.

w.a.n.g Quanguan and Zheng Qiguang also looked at Huo Yichen, who had suddenly appeared in front of them, in shock. They couldn’t wrap their heads around it.

Didn’t Huo Xiuyuan say that Huo Yichen was under house arrest?!

Then why did he suddenly appear here?!

The meeting was forced to stop because of Huo Yichen’s appearance. Everyone looked at Huo Yichen in surprise.

Huo Yichen took out a familiar doc.u.ment and placed it on the table.

When Li Shi saw the doc.u.ment, his heart beat faster. He naturally knew what was inside, so his face darkened.

“The others, go out first.” As soon as he spoke, the others naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer.

Hence, in just a minute, only Li Shi and the other two were left in the entire conference room against Huo Yichen.

“Previously, I said that I would give you three days.” Huo Yichen pulled out a chair and sat down leisurely. “I’m sure I’ve already been very tolerant.” Huo Yichen looked at the three of them as if everything was under control. His tone was neither fast nor slow, and his indifferent expression and eyes were like armor that made it impossible to read his thoughts.

The doc.u.ment with an extremely strong presence was slowly pushed in front of the three of them.

“It’s just a bit of shares. I’m sure everyone is magnanimous.”

Huo Yichen explained his plan and took out the three identical contracts from the doc.u.ment file.

All the conditions were written clearly on it.

“Or-guess what will happen to you if Huo Hong finds out how his precious son died?”

The corners of Huo Yichen’s mouth curled up as he met the three people’s fearful gazes and smiled meaningfully.

Even the three people who had been in the business world for many years and had been by Huo Hong’s side for a few years couldn’t help but be shocked when they mentioned this name.

The threat had never been especially obvious at this moment. The three people who were targeted by Huo Yichen felt a chill run down their backs.

“Why should we believe you?” w.a.n.g Quanguan still tried to be stubborn. “Who knows if you’ll betray us after we give you the shares?”

But he seemed to have forgotten that Huo Yichen was in control now.

Huo Yichen shrugged indifferently. “It’s up to you.

These words made the three of them feel even more aggrieved.

Now that the evidence was in Huo Yichen’s hands, there was really nothing they could do.

Moreover, the three of them knew very well that if they signed the contract in front of them, it would mean that they were on the opposite side of Huo Hong. It looked like Huo Yichen had given them two choices, but in fact, it was only a matter of time before they fought Huo Hong.

However, they knew very well that there was a difference between dying early

or late..
