Huo Huai’s face was already ashen. “Mom! If you want to find someone to blame for Zhao Ning’s death, just blame me. I like Ah Rong. I insisted on being with her. I couldn’t stand living without her. I’ll bear all the blame!”
Huo Ge, who had been silent all this time, snorted mockingly. “She’s already dead. How can you bear it? Compensate with your life? My mother’s life can’t be compensated with a cheap life.”
Huo Bing was dissatisfied with Huo Ge’s words. “Huo Ge, who are you calling cheap?! Watch your mouth!” 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
“Of course it’s the person that’s in a hurry to answer.” Huo Ge looked nonchalant.
Huo Bing stood up angrily and pointed at Huo Ge, shouting, “Watch your mouth! Don’t go overboard!”
“How dare you!” Old Madam Huo shouted, scaring Huo Bing.
Huo Bing was quite afraid of Old Madam Huo. After being suddenly shouted at by Old Madam Huo, he felt that the scar on his back that had been there for several years was about to hurt again.
Moreover, whether he could successfully be accepted into the Huo Family in the future and whether his mother could stay in the Huo Family depended mostly on this old lady.
Even many shareholders and executives in the Corporation were afraid of this old lady.
Lin Rong quickly pulled Huo Bing back and said apologetically to Huo Ge, “Xiao
Ge, your brother was anxious just now, so he raised his voice. Don’t be angry.”
Huo Ge ignored Lin Rong and slowly picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in Old Madam Huo’s bowl. He smiled and said, “Grandma, eat quickly. The food
won’t taste good when it’s cold. There’s no need to affect your appetite for such an unsightly thing.”
When Huo Bing heard this, he was so angry that he was about to explode. Lin Rong held onto Huo Bing tightly, not letting him be rash.
However, Lin Rong also understood that she could not continue sitting at the dining table to eat. She said gently, “Old Madam, I’m almost done eating, so I’ll leave first.”
Old Madam Huo didn’t say anything and just picked up some food for Huo Ge. She smiled and said, “Come, good grandson, eat this. It was your favorite in the past. I specially got someone to prepare it for you.”
Lin Rong did not have any resentment towards the old lady. She pulled her hand away from Huo Huai’s and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Huo Bing’s face was filled with indignation. Even so, he still said respectfully, “Grandma, I’m done eating. I’ll leave first.”
Even Huo Bing could not make Old Madam Huo look up. She did not care about this mother and son at all.
After Huo Bing left the table angrily, Huo Huai also stood up and wanted to leave the table with a dissatisfied expression.
However, before Huo Huai could say anything, Old Madam Huo shouted, “Sit down!”
Huo Huai froze on the spot. In the end, under Old Madam Huo’s cold gaze, he sat down again.
Only then was Old Madam Huo satisfied. She said calmly, “Your son is back. As his father, if you can’t even spare time to have a meal with him, I might have to consider if you’re too busy with work? Should I reduce your workload?”
This was Old Madam Huo’s threat. Huo Huai had no choice but to grab his chopsticks and eat with Huo Ge.
After Huo Huai inherited his father’s shares back then, he thought that the Huo Family was under his control, so he resolutely brought Lin Rong back to the Huo Family.
Unexpectedly, he first encountered the obstruction of his father’s will, preventing him and Lin Rong from becoming legally married for the rest of their lives.
As a result, he was so angry that he was dissatisfied with his son. Later on, he even sent the five-year-old Huo Ge overseas. He didn’t want to see him.
In the end, ever since then, his mother had started to go against him.
Originally, the shares that Huo Huai had inherited were the same as Old Madam Huo’s. However, he did not know how Old Madam Huo had developed over the years. She actually had shares that were much higher than his. Even the elders of the Huo Family were on Old Madam Huo’s side.
Therefore, Huo Huai had not been able to break free from the old lady’s restraints all these years and his life in the Huo Family was restricted.
Hog looked at his father, who was eating reluctantly beside him. He was not sad, but there was more mockery and ridicule.
In his opinion, if Huo Huai really loved Lin Rong back then, he would have had to break off the engagement and not come back to marry Zhao Ning to inherit the family business while still being with Lin Rong.
So what if he was married? He even slept with Zhao Ning, who didn’t know anything, and even made her pregnant.. What kind of love was this? Wasn’t he still a dog of a man who couldn’t control his lower body?
