255: C255 Take Him Home

C255 Take Him Home

The old tutor sat at the main seat of the banquet with a solemn expression on his face. Chiang Shuru sat to the side. Although she looked calm on the surface, her heart was filled with raging waves. As for Huo Mingyang, while he was sitting beside Chiang Shuru, he was able to maintain his composure and remained unmoving. Huo Chenglieh and Lih Jinhsing sat opposite them.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Huo Chenglieh had something on his mind and didn't even think about eating. He looked at the old man and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Dad, have you considered what I've told you this morning?"

Chiang Shuru sat up straight when she heard this. She looked at the old man nervously, waiting for his next words.

The old man glanced at Huo Chenglieh, but didn't answer his question. Instead, he said, "Eat first, then talk about this later."

Seeing that, Huo Chenglieh did not continue pursuing the matter. After all, if he truly angered the lordmaster, then his days in the future would no longer be a good one.

Huo Mingyang glanced at Lih Jinhsing, who was sitting opposite to him. Lih Jinhsing looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about this at all. Looking at his unmoved expression, if it was someone not in the know, they would think that he had only come to Huo Family tonight as a guest.

Seeing this, Huo Mingyang wondered in his heart if this Lih Jinhsing did not care about the wealth of Huo Family, or if his shrewdness was just too deep.

Because they had something on their minds, Huo Chenglieh, Chiang Shuru, and Huo Mingyang were not interested. Only the old man and Lih Jinhsing were eating dinner seriously. The meal ended hastily just like that.

After dinner, Huo Chenglieh didn't even have the time to finish the table before he continued to speak to the old man: "Dad, dinner is already over. Now, you should tell us your decision now!"

Hearing that, the old man cast a cold glance at Huo Chenglieh, and said resentfully: "You are a veteran businessman, how can you not have this kind of patience? You have truly lost face for me, lost face for Huo Family! "

When Huo Chenglieh saw the old man scolding him in front of his son and not leaving him any face, he felt a bit indignant. But now that he had a request, he endured the displeasure in his heart and said to the old man with a smile, "Dad, at least you should at least give me some face in front of these children, right?"

The old man snorted coldly when he heard these words and rolled his eyes at Huo Chenglieh. Then, he looked at Lih Jinhsing, and slowly said: "These past few years, Huo Family did not know of your existence, nor were they able to come find you, and made you stay outside for so many years. Since your father has already found you, in consideration of reason, I should let you return to Huo Family to stay — — What about you? What do you think? "

The old tutor's words were true. After all, his heart was full of guilt as he looked at the similar faces between Lih Jinhsing and Lih Qiumei. Huo Chenglieh was right. If he hadn't forced Huo Chenglieh to marry Lin Wan that year, perhaps Huo Chenglieh would have lived happily ever after with Lih Qiumei. In that case, Huo Chenglieh would not cause chaos in his private life, neither would he cause Lin Wan's death, nor would he "cause his own son's death".

Hearing this, Chiang Shuru's expression became unsightly, but she was still able to maintain her calm. After all, if this matter was really left to Huo Chenglieh to decide, then she and Huo Mingyang might really leave the Huo Family because of this. Now, even if Lih Jinhsing had returned to Huo Family, as long as she was there, she would definitely not give him the chance to obtain Huo Family's property.

"Old Gramps, actually, I don't need to use the so-called 'recognition of our ancestors', nor do I need to return to my Huo Family to live. "Now, I am already satisfied to be able to find my own father. If I come back, I think some people will inevitably be worried." Lih Jinhsing said slowly. His voice was very pleasant to hear, like the melodious melody of a keyboard being played by someone else.

Hearing this, Huo Mingyang felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. Didn't Lih Jinhsing refer to him and his mother as "some people"?

"Jinxing, you don't have to care about the opinions of others. Just tell Father, are you willing to stay in Huo Family and live with Father?" Huo Chenglieh looked at his son benevolently and said with concern.

"It doesn't matter whether I stay in Huo Family or not. As long as I can live with Father, I'm willing to do anything I want. After all, I can make money myself. " Lih Jinhsing looked at Huo Chenglieh and said with a smile.

Chiang Shuru laughed coldly in her heart when she heard this. This Lih Jinhsing, he's really amazing to say such pretentious words! If Huo Chenglieh was just an ordinary person, she wouldn't believe that Lih Jinhsing would still be willing to marry her. Willing to live with him?

However, in Huo Chenglieh's eyes, his son was truly filial. Compared to him, Huo Mingyang was much inferior. After all, Huo Chenglieh knew clearly in his heart that Huo Mingyang was respectful and obedient to him, but he did not treat him kindly. In the end, it was just for the sake of getting the shares in his hands.

But his son was different. If it weren't for his constant persuasion, he would never have agreed to come to the Huo Family to eat, nor would he have agreed to come live there. Perhaps, Jinxing was still unwilling to forgive the old man for breaking up the relationship between him and his mother and letting him live in the outside world for so many years? As he thought about it, Huo Chenglieh looked at Lih Jinhsing with an additional trace of affection in his eyes.

"Jinxing, since you want to live with daddy, then you should stay in Huo Family. After all, daddy is a person of Huo Family, I will stay in Huo Family to live." Huo Chenglieh looked at Lih Jinhsing and said kindly.

Upon seeing this, Huo Mingyang clenched his fist tightly, which was hidden under the table. He knew that back then, if it wasn't for his mother repeatedly begging him for help, even to the point of using the trick of crying, crying, and crying, his father would absolutely not have taken the initiative to bring him back to the Huo Family. Furthermore, back then when Huo Chenglieh agreed to bring his mother back to the Huo Family, it was only to oppose the old man and intentionally anger the old man.

With such a huge gap in his heart, coupled with the possibility of fighting over his fortune in the future, Huo Mingyang had to be extremely wary of this half brother that had suddenly popped out of nowhere. Could it be that he was going to do the same thing again and kill this Lih Jinhsing as he did with Huo Mingshen? However, if something happened to Lih Jinhsing again, then the old tutor would definitely suspect him and even make him pay the price.

Seeing Huo Chenglieh be so sincere and sincere, Lih Jinhsing hesitated for a long time before reluctantly nodding his head, and said: "Since daddy wants to continue living in Huo Family, then I will stay here — — But as for the household registration, I hope that you will respect my decision, and I do not wish to transfer the household registration to Huo Family."

Seeing Lih Jinhsing loathe him and agree to come to Huo Family to live with him, Huo Chenglieh was happy in his heart. He readily agreed to Lih Jinhsing's request and said: "Since that's the case, then let's follow your plan."

Huo Chenglieh had already made up his mind. In the future, even if Lih Jinhsing's account was not in Huo Family, if he wanted to keep the property for him, he could just make a will and be a notary.

Hearing this, Chiang Shuru and Huo Mingyang heaved a sigh of relief. If Lih Jinhsing didn't transfer the account over to Huo Family, then it could be considered one of the luckiest things that could happen to him. After all, Huo Mingyang's name had not appeared on Huo Family's account.

Back then, Huo Chenglieh had wanted to take revenge on the old man by breaking up the relationship between him and Lih Qiumei. Thus, after his marriage with Lin Wan, he had gone to those lights and wine places every day and stayed up late at night. At that time, Chiang Shuru was working in a nightclub. Over time, she got to know Huo Chenglieh and became involved with him.

Huo Chenglieh hated the old man for breaking up the relationship between him and Lih Qiumei, so he had always been against the old man. Therefore, he had first killed Lin Wan, then told the old man that he was going to marry Chiang Shuru, so that Huo Mingyang would no longer live as an illegitimate child.

The old man was adamant on not agreeing. He also said that if Huo Chenglieh dared to marry Chiang Shuru, he would kick him out of the house. Seeing that the old man had hardened his heart to not allow him to marry Chiang Shuru, Huo Chenglieh could only take a step back. As long as the old man agreed that the two of them would live in Huo Family and give them a reputation, he would be satisfied. Therefore, these past few years, although Chiang Shuru and Huo Mingyang were half-masters of Huo Family, they were still in a somewhat awkward situation.2

Chiang Shuru rejoiced in her heart. Lih Jinhsing's brain had definitely been kicked by a donkey, which was why he refused to acknowledge his ancestors. If Lih Jinhsing had entered Huo Family's account, then their side would have already lost a large step in this war to snatch Huo Family's property. Fortunately, they still had a chance to save him!

"You're called Lih Jinhsing, right?" The old man looked at Lih Jinhsing and slowly said.

"Yes, Old Master." Lih Jinhsing nodded and said respectfully.

"There's no need to be so formal, just call me grandpa." The old man looked at Lih Jinhsing and said leisurely.

Hearing this, Huo Mingyang felt as if he was stuck in his throat. The first time he saw the old man, the old man had forbidden him from calling him "grandfather", and even after so many years had passed, he still could not call him grandfather. But now, this Lih Jinhsing was able to receive such treatment from the old man on his first visit. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to make even a single step forward in Huo Family in the future.

There was naturally a reason for the honored tutor to treat him differently. It was he who had broken up Huo Chenglieh and Lih Qiumei that year, and he was the one who felt guilty in his heart. In addition, this Lih Jinhsing was the son of Huo Chenglieh, so they should indeed call him 'Grandfather'. But Huo Mingyang was different. Although he was also Huo Chenglieh's biological son, it was because of them that Huo Chenglieh killed Lin Wan, and he even made a move on Huo Mingshen. Naturally, he wouldn't forgive him and Huo Mingshen so easily, and it was even more impossible for Huo Mingyang to call him grandfather.

"Grandfather." Although it was his first time meeting him, Lih Jinhsing was not a stranger to the old man and shouted at him passionately.

"Mm —" The old man nodded, then continued, "How have you been all these years?"

"My mother never remarried, and she lived with me. She died of illness in my junior high school, but she left me some money to finish high school and go to the university I liked. "Right now, I'll start a small business, and I can barely make it out of it." Lih Jinhsing smiled and replied.

Hearing this, the old man sighed, then he said to Lih Jinhsing: "You come with me to the study room, I have something to talk to you about."

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without waiting for Lih Jinhsing's reply.

Lih Jinhsing looked at the old man's back with a deep expression. Only then did he slowly stand up and walk in the direction the old man had left in.

Seeing this, Chiang Shuru and Huo Mingyang looked at each other — for what reason had the old man called Lih Jinhsing alone to the study room?
