C229 A Second Plan Was Born
"I'm back." A small figure followed behind Cen Mu and slowly walked into Huo Family's living room, politely greeting the three people sitting in the living room.
It turned out that Xiaohu had come home from school.
After Soong Shiyan and the old man left, Cen Mu was the only one left in the entire Huo Family who was familiar with Xiaohu. Usually, Xiaohu and Cen Mu would quietly stay in the villa Huo Mingshen stayed in previously, but Huo Family was restricted to the vicinity of the villa. Today, Cen Mu went to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaohu, passing by the living room, coincidentally met the three people in the living room. Although Xiaohu didn't like these three people, he still greeted them out of politeness.
Hearing that, Huo Mingyang raised his head, he looked at Xiaohu, and revealed a smile on his face — — This Xiaohu really did not exist, they had almost forgotten that Huo Family and Jing Sung's little brother were still here!
"Xiaohu, you came back from school! How was school today? Is anyone bullying you? " Huo Mingyang squeezed out a smile as he looked at Xiaohu and said kindly.
However, Huo Mingyang had never been good at interacting with children. Therefore, the smile on his face was a bit stiff and unnatural.
Cen Mu looked at Huo Mingyang, then looked at Huo Chenglieh and Chiang Shuru. He had heard some things from the servants. Although he did not like the three of them, he still respectfully bowed to them and said, "Greetings, Master, Madam, and Young Master!"
Hearing this, Chiang Shuru's face was filled with smiles. She had never heard anyone call her Madam so politely in her life in the Huo Family! Even though Cen Mu was an outsider, the way he called her "Madam" was sweet to her heart!
"Second Young Master, I'm not bad at school. No one bullies me." Xiaohu glanced at Huo Mingyang and asked timidly.
Hearing this, Huo Mingyang stood up from the sofa and walked over to Xiaohu. He squatted down and said with a smile, "Xiaohu, you can just call me 'Brother'. Don't call me 'Young Master'?"
Hearing this, Cen Mu's face darkened: This Huo Mingyang, he doesn't normally greet Xiaohu, why did he suddenly become so intimate with Xiaohu today?
Cen Mu was not stupid. He quickly understood that this Huo Mingyang was just trying to use Xiaohu to curry favor with Jing Sung.
Before leaving the Huo Family, Soong Shiyan had told him to keep Xiaohu away from the three of them. Therefore, he did his best to avoid Xiaohu meeting with these people during this period of time. He just hadn't thought that he would meet her in the living room today.
Thinking about Soong Shiyan's request, Cen Mu respectfully said from a distance: "Young Master, you're the Young Master of Huo Family, how could we dare to be disrespectful to you?"
"Since Xiaohu is Jing Sung's little brother, then it can be considered to be related to Huo Family. Calling me 'Big Brother' makes sense, don't you think?" Huo Mingyang looked at Cen Mu and said with a smile. However, his smile did not reach his eyes.
When one was under a roof, one had no choice but to lower their head. Hearing this, Cen Mu could only smile and say, "Since young master has already said so, then it will depend on Xiaohu's will!" Cen Mu was holding Xiaohu's hand. With that, he lightly squeezed Xiaohu's fleshy hand.
Xiaohu was a clever child. Although he was young, he had experienced the ups and downs of life. He also understood Cen Mu's advice. The smiling man in front of him seemed to be harboring malicious intentions. Otherwise, brother Cen Mu wouldn't have used this excuse.
Thinking about this, Xiaohu looked at Huo Mingyang with a puzzled expression and said, "But, I see my other brothers and sisters, uncles and aunties, they all call you that."
"Xiaohu, you're different from them. Of course you can call me brother." Huo Mingyang looked at Xiaohu and said patiently.
"What's different between me and them? In my opinion, Second Young Master, you are the one who is different from us. Normally, when we meet people, we would greet them politely. But Second Young Master, not only did you not greet them, you also asked them to busy themselves with everything, that means they don't have time to rest. " Xiaohu looked at Huo Mingyang and said innocently.
Hearing that, Huo Mingyang's smile was a bit awkward. He didn't know how to explain Xiaohu's words, so he was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Second Young Master, I still have things to do, so I'll be going back first — — Goodbye, Second Young Master!" Seeing that Huo Mingyang had nothing to say, Xiaohu smiled and waved at him. Then, he pulled Cen Mu and walked towards the villa that Huo Mingyang lived in.
Cen Mu looked at Xiaohu and quietly gave him a thumbs up. Seeing this, the smile on Xiaohu's face became increasingly brilliant. Even though he wasn't clear about the Huo Family, he had heard a lot of bad things about Huo Mingyang and Chiang Shuru destroying other people's families from the servants, so he didn't like Huo Mingyang.
Huo Mingyang looked at Xiaohu's leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.
"Look, Jing Sung's little brother isn't someone to be trifled with!" With just a few words, he had made our son unable to continue speaking. He was truly a scammer! "I wonder what kind of trouble he'll cause when he grows up again." Chiang Shuru looked at Xiaohu's back and said angrily.
Hearing that, Huo Chenglieh put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Chiang Shuru, and said resentfully: "Tell me yourself, what should I tell you? After all, you're a forty-something years old, why do you have to go against a child who just went to kindergarten? That child is only five years old. What kind of playthings could he possibly have? "
Seeing Huo Chenglieh criticize her, Chiang Shuru started to vent her dissatisfaction again, "Oh, then you mean to say that I'm old? I have so many playthings in my heart, don't I? Huo Chenglieh, for you, I gave birth to a son at the age of nineteen, and I even suffered for so many years due to my Huo Family — Now, you actually hate me so much! Are you still human? "
Hearing that, Huo Chenglieh snorted. This feeling was like a sharp edge that would only become flatter with the passage of time. For a moment, he couldn't remember why he had taken a fancy to Chiang Shuru. Huo Chenglieh shook his head and stood up from the sofa. He turned around and walked out of the living room.
Seeing this, Chiang Shuru became even more dissatisfied. She looked at Huo Mingyang, pointed at Huo Chenglieh's back and angrily said, "Look at your dad, look at him —"
Huo Mingyang looked at his mother with disdain. He hated her, hated her for her greed and snobbery. He wanted his mother to be worthy enough to give birth to him. She could be considered to have achieved her goal, but he had always been branded as a "illegitimate child". But at the same time, he was also grateful to her. It was because of her snobbery and greed that she was able to stubbornly enter the Huo Family, which was why he had such a luxurious life today.
"Mom —" Huo Mingyang opened his mouth helplessly. "You should restrain yourself a little. If you continue to make a ruckus, it would be a joke for those servants."2
Hearing this, Chiang Shuru shivered.
After a long while, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then little brat, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can we do? Since it's of value, it must be used to the fullest! " Huo Mingyang said with a proud smile.
