Chapter 381: The Huo Family’s Gathering
Huo Xuan raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows calmly, a hint of worry in his tone. “A killing machine?”
After hearing Mo Zhu’s words, he recalled something about the black-robed youth he had discovered last night when he was fighting him. The youth’s face was tightly covered by the black robe. He had inadvertently taken a glance when he was fighting with him. That face was pale and bloodless.
Furthermore, it was as if he did not feel any pain. No matter how many punches he landed on him, other than raising his hand to block, that young man had never frowned or taken half a step back!
When Xu Huan heard this, he also turned pale with fright. “In that case, if this person was really carefully nurtured by the Kang family, then the Kang family must have nurtured more than one such person. They definitely have a backup plan!”
Mo Zhu nodded and agreed. “That’s right. Those who know internal energy have very powerful martial arts. If they can master and use this internal energy skillfully, it will be an existence even more terrifying than guns and ammunition. That’s why I’m saying all of this. My goal is to give you a reminder. From now on, no matter how difficult your tasks in Beijing are, you have to be more careful!”!!
As the few of them spoke, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the Huo family’s old mansion. When they saw that the car plate number was Huo Xuan’s, a servant went forward to open the door and help them enter the old mansion after Xu Huan parked the car.
Today, only Old Master Huo, Huo Tao and Chen Man were in the Huo residence. The atmosphere in the house was much better. Without the other families of the Huo family chattering beside her, Mo Zhu felt that even the air in the courtyard was much fresher.
Old Master Huo sat at the head of the table. From afar, he looked much better. However, because the Huo family had been causing trouble over these trivial matters recently, he was in a bad mood. Therefore, he looked a little tired.
Now that the Huo family’s few families had been chased out by Old Master Huo and it was rare for Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu to come back for a meal, Old Master Huo’s happiness was larger than the frustration in his heart.
He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few dishes for Mo Zhu. Old Master Huo laughed kindly and said, “Xiao Zhu, I heard from Xiao Man that your health hasn’t been good recently. She specially cooked so many dishes today. Hurry up and try which one you like. Let Xuan’er bring your favorite dishes over. We’re all family, there’s no need to be reserved!”
Mo Zhu also smiled and nodded obediently. “Alright, thank you, Grandpa.”
Seeing how obedient and sensible his granddaughter-in-law was, Old Master Huo looked at Mo Zhu in relief. Then, he happily picked up his food and started eating.
Not only was Old Master Huo busy putting food into Mo Zhu’s bowl, but Chen Man was also putting meat into her bowl with chopsticks. As she moved her chopsticks, she instructed, “Xiao Zhu, quickly try Auntie’s cooking. If you have anything you like to eat, tell Auntie. I’ll send it to the research institute personally the next time I make it!”
Catching the hidden message in the woman’s words, Old Master Huo frowned slightly and looked up at Chen Man. “Research institute? Why does Xiao Zhu have to go to the research institute again?”
When Chen Man heard this, she raised her hand and knocked her head with a smile. “Look at me, I’ve forgotten about this. Dad, Xiao Zhu’s grades are outstanding. The college entrance examination is coming soon. Country H has organized an Olympic Mathematics competition. This girl has passed the preliminaries in Jingyang High School and is participating in the training at the research institute. She’s preparing for the finals held in two days’ time!”
Upon hearing Chen Man’s words, Old Master Huo nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “Alright, I didn’t expect the girl to be a talent with good morals, intelligence, good health, and overall development. No wonder everyone says that the Huo family has chosen a good daughter-in-law. It seems like Xuan’er was really lucky to have gotten Xiao Zhu as his fiancée!”
