C254 Strict Rejections

"What did you just say? Say that again if you have the guts? " The old man sat on the sofa, he looked at Huo Chenglieh and said angrily. His brows were furrowed so tightly that he could have killed a fly.

Seeing the old man's flustered look, Huo Chenglieh stood to the side with his back bent, fighting with each other. He raised his hand and wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead. Then, with a trembling voice, he said, "Dad —"

"Don't call me dad, I don't have such a disappointing son like you!" The old man looked at Huo Chenglieh coldly and said angrily.

Chiang Shuru smiled a little complacently when she saw the old tutor's raging words. She knew it, it was impossible for Huo Chenglieh to bring that bastard back to the Huo Family and make him recognize his ancestors! Sure enough, it was as she expected. She wanted to see what Huo Chenglieh was going to do!

"Dad —" Huo Chenglieh was a bit dissatisfied and continued, "I know, I'm not good enough to meet your expectations. All these years, I've always been in trouble and haven't achieved anything. But Jinxing is my son! How can I allow my own son to be left behind? "

Hearing that, the old man sneered and said coldly, "Mingshen is also your son, but all these years, why haven't I seen you care about him?"

Seeing the old man talk about Huo Mingshen, Huo Chenglieh was slightly unhappy. He straightened his body, looked at the old man, and angrily said, "Dad, say it yourself. If you hadn't forced me to marry Lin Wan that year, would things have turned out like this?"

Hearing this, the old man was so angry that his face turned green and white. He clutched his chest and took a few deep breaths, not saying a word.

After a long while, the old man finally raised his head, looked at Huo Chenglieh, and faintly said: "Since you insist on bringing that child into Huo Family, then alright — — But, I have a condition."

Seeing that the old man had started to loosen his grip, Huo Chenglieh's face revealed a hint of joy. He looked at the old man and asked anxiously: "What condition?"

"If you insist on taking that child back to Huo Family, then Chiang Shuru and her son must leave. If you want to keep Chiang Shuru and her son, then the child cannot stay in the Huo Family — you decide for yourself! " The old man looked at Huo Chenglieh and said with a fake smile.

Chiang Shuru's face paled as she heard this. Her body trembled slightly. If Huo Chenglieh really chose Lih Jinhsing, then wouldn't she and Mingyang have to leave the Huo Family? However, for the sake of staying at the Huo Family and obtaining the wealth from Huo Chenglieh's hands, she had already suffered for nearly twenty years. If she were to leave the Huo Family now, wouldn't all her efforts have been for naught?

Huo Mingyang didn't look too good either, he clenched the hand beside him into a fist. The hatred in his eyes surged as he looked at the lordmaster.

As for Huo Chenglieh, he too had a conflicted and conflicted expression on his face. This Lih Jinhsing was born from him and Lih Qiumei. Lih Qiumei was the woman he loved the most in his life, and she was also the woman he owed the most, so no matter what, he had to compensate Lih Jinhsing! However, Chiang Shuru and Huo Mingyang had lived with him for so many years after all, and he truly could not bear to let the two of them leave the Huo Family. This decision was not only related to their relationship, but also to his dignity in the upper class.

After a moment of silence, Huo Chenglieh looked up at the old man and slowly said: "Dad, this question, you didn't mean to make things difficult for me right? The back of my hand is all meat, how do you want me to choose? "

The old man sneered, "What you say makes a lot of sense. The back of the palm is meat — but the meat of the palm and the back of the hand is still different, isn't it?" "After all, I've never seen you say that before when Mingshen was around."

Chiang Shuru rolled her eyes inwardly. Huo Mingshen had already died, and the old man was still talking about him day after day. Even his ears were going to recognize the cocoon! Since he was already dead, what use was it for the old tutor to think of him all the time? After all, people don't come back to life.

"Dad, Mingshen is already dead. Why are you still thinking about him?" Seeing the old man mention Huo Mingshen again, Huo Chenglieh said with some dissatisfaction.

"I just want to remember him so that you won't forget that you have such a son!" The old man looked at Huo Chenglieh and said angrily.

Seeing that, Huo Chenglieh shouted helplessly: "Dad …"

The old man didn't look at Huo Chenglieh and said: "Anyway, it's up to you!"

In the beginning, Chiang Shuru had hoped that the old man would reject Huo Chenglieh's request. But now, Chiang Shuru was willing to agree to Huo Chenglieh's request. Because, she couldn't be sure what choice Huo Chenglieh would make between her and Lih Jinhsing — after all, Chiang Shuru knew very well that if it wasn't for the fact that she looked similar to Lih Qiumei, Huo Chenglieh would never have taken a fancy to her. Now, her son seemed to be at a disadvantage when compared to Lih Qiumei's son.

"Dad, I don't care. I must make Jinxing return to the Huo Family. I must make him recognize his ancestors. Do you know what Jinxing's surname is?" Huo Chenglieh was silent for a moment. Then, he looked at the old man and said with a bit of anger.

Seeing Huo Chenglieh's expression, the old man was also confused. Although his son was a trash, he'd never had any intention of disobeying his wishes in the past few years. Now, because of this

An illegitimate child who'd suddenly appeared actually dared to glare at him. When he thought of this, an ominous premonition grew in the old tutor's heart.

Huo Chenglieh saw the old man's expression change and said with a hint of bitterness, "Yes, dad is right. Jinxing's surname is Li, he's Qiumei and my son."

The old tutor sighed heavily, not knowing what to say. Back then, it was him who did the wrong thing. He wanted his son to marry Lin Wan so he broke up the lovers, Huo Chenglieh and Lih Qiumei. It was also at that time that his refined and refined son seemed to have become a different person. All these years, he had been muddleheaded and was almost led away by Chiang Shuru and her son.

Chiang Shuru looked at the old man nervously, unable to sit still.

The old man was silent for a long time, then he slowly opened his mouth and said to Huo Chenglieh: "Regarding this matter that you talked about, I will think about it carefully."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was called over by Huo Chenglieh, "Dad, I hope you will agree to this matter before dinner tonight. After all, regardless of whether you agree or not, I've already told Jinxing to come and stay at home tonight."

Hearing this, Chiang Shuru's expression turned ugly. This Huo Chenglieh didn't even say hello before bringing Lih Jinhsing home. If that was the case, wouldn't her and Huo Mingyang's position in Huo Family be even lower?2

The old tutor nodded and left without another word.
