C113 Sudden
At the table, everyone was eating with different thoughts in their minds. It was still a delicacy and delicacies, but other than the old tutor, all of them were focused on the matter that the old tutor was about to announce. They only felt that the dishes were tasteless and that they shared similar tastes.1
Huo Chenglieh raised his head occasionally and looked at the old man. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated in the end. How was Chiang Shuru any better? She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles as she contemplated in her heart. Under normal circumstances, the lordmaster would definitely have something to announce if he gathered everyone together. But today, the meal was almost over, so why hadn't the lordmaster announced it?
Soong Shiyan also looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. He was still lying on the hospital bed, so logically speaking, the old man shouldn't be in the mood to sit and eat with Chiang Shuru and her son. Yet, he gathered everyone together. What exactly was the matter?
"I brought you here today to announce something." Under everyone's anticipation, the old tutor finally put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth. He looked at the people at the table, took a sip of his coffee and slowly said, "I've decided to send Mingshen back to England."
"Clang!" Soong Shiyan's knife and fork slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of impact. Seeing this, the servant standing by the side hurriedly picked up the knife and fork from the ground and handed her a new knife and fork.
Soong Shiyan, who was still in shock, no longer had the mood to eat. She looked at the old man and asked puzzledly, "Grandpa, didn't you also want Mingshen to stay in the country and live with you? You. Why would you suddenly have such a thought? "
The old man looked at Soong Shiyan, and said while muttering to himself: "Now, Huo Family already has you, the legitimate heir, so, there's no need for Mingshen to return. Furthermore, Mingshen was indeed unsuited to live in the country. Although Mingshen was a self-contained person, he had lived in the UK for so many years and had always been safe. He never encountered any danger. However, as soon as he returned home, accidents happened one after another. Perhaps, from the very start, it was a wrong decision for me to send him back. "
"Then... Did Mingshen know about the decision you made? " Soong Shiyan knew it was impossible to refute the old man's words, so she spoke with some hesitation.
"I've already told Mingshen about it at the hospital today, so of course he agreed." The old man was a bit confused and asked, "Did Mingshen not tell you about this yet?"
The light in Soong Shiyan's eyes dimmed.
At that time, when she was in the hospital, she had a faint feeling that the lentinus edodes seemed to be different from before. It turned out that it was because he already knew that he was going back to England. But why, she had been with him in the ward for so long, and he had not said a word about it. If the lordmaster hadn't brought up this matter today, would she only know of this news after he left the country? Thinking about this, Soong Shiyan felt a little disappointed. However, she still pretended to be indifferent and smiled: "It seems that Mingshen is planning to tell me about this later." Although she was smiling, Soong Shiyan was clear that her heart was filled with a trace of bitterness.
"Dad, all these years, I've been busy helping you take care of your Huo Family, so I neglected a little Mingshen. Why don't you allow that child Mingshen to stay in Huo Family and live with us? Let me fulfill my father's duty as well. " Huo Chenglieh was ecstatic to hear the old man say that he was going to send that fool back to England. However, he still put on a fatherly appearance and spoke somewhat reluctantly.
The old man coldly glanced at the smirking Huo Chenglieh and said in an indifferent tone, "You know that I have already given all the shares under Mingshen to Jing Sung. If you truly have a guilty conscience and want to fulfill your father's obligations, then take out a portion of your shares and give it to Mingshen. "
Hearing this, the smile on Huo Chenglieh's face froze as he didn't know how to respond. If he were to pass the shares to that idiot Huo Mingshen, then he would be the one with a screw loose!
Although Huo Mingshen was indeed the flesh and blood of Huo Chenglieh, he really did not want to admit that he had such a foolish son. Moreover, Huo Chenglieh didn't even love Lin Wan, and even somewhat hated her. If it wasn't for Lin Wan, how could he have made his beloved girl bear the infamy of a mistress? How could he have made his precious son bear the infamy of an illegitimate child? Therefore, how could Huo Chenglieh possibly like Lin Wan's child?
"Dad, to tell you the truth, I want to do the same. However, you also know that Mingshen has some problems with his intelligence and doesn't know how to manage the company's affairs. What was the use of taking the shares? If those people with ulterior motives were to find out, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause? "Dad, what I said was true, right?" Huo Chenglieh glanced at Soong Shiyan, who was sitting opposite to him, and said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Isn't it? If Huo Mingshenson really could manage this amount of shares, old man, you wouldn't have to pass your Huo Family down to an outsider, right? So, as I say, these shares, and the shares before Huo Mingshenson, should be left to Chenglieh. After all, he's Huo Mingshenson's father! " When Chiang Shuru heard the old man's words, her expression immediately changed and she couldn't sit still anymore. What if some of Huo Chenglieh's shares were actually transferred to that fool Huo Mingshen's, what about her Mingyang? She had endured in the Huo Family for so many years, what was it for? It was all so that she could lead a prosperous and prosperous life with Mingyang after Old Man Huo's death!
The old man looked at Chiang Shuru's anxious face and snorted coldly. He then turned his head away silently.
"The media already know about Mingshen's return. Besides, you guys are all aware that there have been a lot of reporters checking up on Mingshen these days. Mingshen did not show up, so there were already many people who were guessing whether he was suffering from some incurable disease. If Mingshen left this time, there would be no convincing reason. Perhaps, he would be messily written by those reporters again. So this time, Mingshen returned to England and announced that he was going to manage the British industry. If any long-mouthed person dares to talk too much in front of the media, don't blame me for being heartless. " The old man looked around at the people at the table, and finally fixed his gaze on Chiang Shuru as he coldly spoke.
Chiang Shuru looked up and saw that the old man's gaze was fixed on her, piercing her like a thorn in her back. She smiled awkwardly, and said in a strange tone, "Old man, why are you looking at me like that? How could I be that kind of person? Even if you suspect it, you should suspect Jing Sung. How long has it been since she arrived at Huo Family? No matter what, I have lived in the Huo Family for so many years, why would I do such a thing that would be detrimental to it? "
"Whether or not it will happen, your own heart is very clear — I'm tired, you guys continue eating!" The old man said coldly, then pushed his chair away and stood up. With the support of a servant, he slowly walked out of the dining room, leaving behind four people who were all deep in thought as they sat at their tables.
