C422 Strong Regression
"You're right." Soong Shiyan nodded and agreed, "Huo Mingyang is indeed a pitiful person."
"So, I feel that you should at least give him a fair chance to compete with others – although, I have to admit, in love, there is never any fairness." Tiankui said to Soong Shiyan with a smile.
After listening to Tiankui's words, Soong Shiyan didn't reply for a long time, as if she was pondering deeply about something.
"Last time, when Rose wanted to harm you, Huo Mingyang risked his life to block a shot for you. Otherwise, we would already be separated by Yin and Yang, and there would not be a chance for us to chat here. " Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan and said leisurely.
For some reason, she hoped that Soong Shiyan could give Huo Mingyang a chance. Perhaps, an important reason was because of that fruitless love she had with Huo Mingyang. When she saw Huo Mingyang trapped in love, she felt the same. Furthermore, she could tell that Huo Mingyang really liked Soong Shiyan.
Although Soong Shiyan didn't say anything, she seemed to have taken Tiankui's words to heart.
Seeing this, Tiankui also stopped talking to prevent Soong Shiyan from thinking that she had gotten some benefits from Huo Mingyang, which was why she helped him speak up.
… ….
Huo Family, the old man and Huo Mingshen sat in the study room. On the table, there was a cup of West Lake Longjing, and a cup of American-style coffee.
"Grandfather!" Seeing that the old man sat there for a long time without answering his question, Huo Mingshen helplessly said, "If you don't agree, then there's really no other way — this time, I have already made up my mind. Even if you object, it's useless. The only reason I want to return to the Huo Family today is to notify you. "
The lordmaster raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. Only then did he speak slowly, "Since that's the case, I shall grant your wish."
Huo Mingshen originally thought that he would need to force the old man to agree to his request. He didn't think that the old man would be so easy to talk to, which caught him off guard.
"Grandfather, you just said …." Huo Mingshen looked at the old man. Although he was still calm, the light in his eyes made it impossible for others to ignore him.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word — but I have my own arrangements. Therefore, you should keep a low profile during these few days. "
Hearing that, Huo Mingshen nodded excitedly.
… ….
"Mingyang, Mom hasn't seen you for a long time — look, you've lost a lot of weight. Mom really can't be at ease while you're outside. You can't eat well, and you can't sleep well either. How about, you go back to the Huo Family! " Chiang Shuru looked at her son with a pained expression.
Of course, she still had a bit of selfishness in wanting Huo Mingyang to regain his Huo Family so urgently. Now, Lih Jinhsing was deeply liked by Huo Chenglieh, and the old man didn't like her either. In Huo Family, it could be said that she was walking on thin ice, with every step difficult.
How could Huo Mingyang not know what Chiang Shuru was planning? He took his hand away from Chiang Shuru's hand with a hint of alienation on his face, and said: "I will leave the Huo Family sooner or later — — I think it's about time you learn to get used to the days when I'm not in the Huo Family."
Saying that, Huo Mingyang turned around and walked to the side, intending to have a chat with the investors he met before.
"Mingyang..." Chiang Shuru looked at Huo Mingyang's back and sighed, stomping her feet in displeasure — it was all this damn Jing Sung's fault for making her son lose his mind!
Today, the Old Master said he would announce Heir of the Huo Family, so he specially hosted a banquet at Huo Family. Although she was clear in her heart that the Old Master would definitely not leave his Huo Family behind for her son, if the Old Master were to appoint Lih Jinhsing as Heir of the Huo Family, then for the sake of their many years of relationship, Huo Chenglieh might even leave the shares and assets in his hands to the two of them. After all, his property, when compared to his entire Huo Family, was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Now, Chiang Shuru's biggest bet was on Huo Chenglieh. Therefore, Chiang Shuru didn't bother to chase after Huo Mingyang, but instead walked towards Huo Chenglieh. Firstly, it was to let Huo Chenglieh admit his identity in front of the guests and the media, and secondly, it was to speak up for his son.
… ….
When Soong Shiyan arrived at the banquet hall, all of the men who were talking loudly looked over. After that, everyone held their wine glasses and walked towards Soong Shiyan.
The old gramps called last night to tell her to return to Huo Family. There was one thing he needed her to do. Now that she saw this gathering of famous people, Soong Shiyan immediately understood what the old tutor wanted her to do.
There was a fitting smile on her face, but she secretly sighed in her heart — This was also good. At the very least, this was the only way she would break away from her relationship with Huo Family and wholeheartedly guard her Soong Family with all her heart.
Soong Shiyan felt a bit helpless when she saw the group of attentive men surrounding her as soon as she entered the banquet hall. While flirting with these men, she tried to think of a way to escape.
"Jing Sung, you're finally here," Huo Mingyang squeezed his way through the group of men to Soong Shiyan and said with a smile, "The old gramps has been waiting for you for a long time, come over quickly!"
With that, Huo Mingyang pulled Soong Shiyan's hand and walked to the side.
Soong Shiyan wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she looked at the bunch of men around her, she resisted the urge and followed Huo Mingyang to the side.
"We all understand Huo Mingyang's intentions. As an illegitimate child who was unable to obtain the right to inherit Huo Family, he naturally has to climb onto Jing Sung in order to remain in Huo Family."
"Isn't it? "He's just an illegitimate child, and yet in front of us, he's still pretending to be a proud son of heaven. What a joke!"
"Stop talking!" To bicker with an illegitimate child, don't lower your status! "
… ….
Those men said "illegitimate children" one by one. Although they whispered it, every single word still entered Huo Mingyang's ears. His grip on Soong Shiyan's hand tightened as a trace of melancholy and dejection appeared on his face. It was as if he had fallen into an invisible net, entangling him so tightly that he could barely breathe.
Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and couldn't help but to stop her footsteps.
Seeing that Soong Shiyan had stopped, Huo Mingyang turned around and realized that Soong Shiyan's hands were red from clenching. Seeing this, he hurriedly let go of Soong Shiyan's hand. With a guilty look on his face, he said to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, are you alright?!"
Soong Shiyan smiled nonchalantly, indicating that she was fine. Seeing Huo Mingyang's injured expression, she suddenly reached out her hand and patted Huo Mingyang's shoulder. Although she didn't say anything, what she wanted to say at this moment was already self-evident.
Seeing Soong Shiyan's awkward expression, Huo Mingyang couldn't help but let out a smile, which made the surrounding men jealous. The media, who had been invited to the banquet hall, also took the opportunity to press the shutter button.
Huo Mingshen stood upstairs and watched the scene play out in front of his eyes. He clenched his fist in anger — — Huo Mingyang, you really know how to cry!
… ….
"Everyone, I welcome you all to this party. I am very happy to have so many people present to give me face. Thank you all for coming to support me!" The old tutor was in high spirits as he stood on the stage, smiling as he spoke to the guests below the stage.
The guests below the stage were also beaming with smiles. After all, Old Master Huo's invitation was proof of their esteemed status.
"It's our honor to receive your invitation, Old Man!" The people below the stage also smiled and complimented the old man.
"Today, we are inviting everyone here. As for me, I have something to announce." The old man looked at the people below the stage and continued speaking.
Everyone looked at each other and discussed softly, unable to guess what the old tutor had to announce.
Jing Sung, come up and tell everyone — "The old man waved his hand towards Soong Shiyan who was standing in the middle of the crowd and said," Although this matter is related to Huo Family, it is also related to you.
Hearing this, the younger men in the audience started to get excited.
"Jing Sung? What did she have to announce? "Is she going to get married?"
"Marry? If that's really the case, then wouldn't we have no chance at all? "
"It shouldn't be possible. I haven't heard the news of her falling in love at all. It can't be that she's getting married, right?"
"You're still in love, when did you become so naive? With Huo Family such a large business, Jing Sung definitely isn't in a relationship to get married, she's just a family marriage! "
"Then who do you think will be the target of her marriage?"
"It can't be Huo Mingyang, right? "If it's Huo Mingyang, then we …"
"If Jing Sung's marriage partner is Huo Mingyang, then why didn't the old man directly leave the Huo Family to him?"
… ….
Hearing the surrounding people's discussion, Huo Mingyang had a face full of indifference. The people from Huo Family already knew that the purpose of this banquet was to announce the announcement of the new successor of Huo Family to the public and the media.
Soong Shiyan held up her skirt as she slowly walked onto the stage. She stood beside the old man, took over the microphone, and with a slight smile on her face, she looked at the guests and the media below the stage as she slowly said: "After much deliberation, I have made an important decision — — Today, the thing that I want to announce is that I have decided to give up on my inheritance of Huo Family. From now on, I am no longer the successor to Huo Family. "
Hearing that, everyone in the audience was stunned — This Jing Sung was really willful. Heir of the Huo Family, who was the center of attention and envy for everyone, was wrong when she said he wasn't right!
"Jing Sung is no longer Heir of the Huo Family. I think we don't need to be polite to her."
"Even if she's no longer Heir of the Huo Family, don't forget that she still has the Soong's Group and the Soong Family Big House. Her status is not any less than those rich young talents either. "
"Moreover, if you marry those Noble Miss, you can only marry one vase apart from their net worth. However, if you marry Jing Sung, then not only would you marry a few billion yuan worth of wealth, but you would also have a capable assistant who can help you resolve all your troubles. "
"The important thing is, even if Jing Sung is no longer Heir of the Huo Family, she still has contacts in the Huo Family."
… ….
The media did not stay idle either. They had already recorded the footage and questioned the reporters.
"Miss Jing Sung, why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
"Is it because you have some conflict with the old man?"
… ….
Soong Shiyan's expression was indifferent as she replied with a smile, "Back then, when the old gramps chose me as his successor when I had nothing left, I've always been very grateful to him for the kindness he showed me. It was indeed after I had thought it through that I made this decision. Currently, the most important thing to me is to properly manage the Soong's Group. "
"Is the decision you made related to Soong Shiyan?" The reporters continued to ask.
Soong Shiyan nodded her head without hesitation, smiled and said, "That's right, since Shiyan has given me all of the wealth under her name, in consideration of reason, I should take care of Soong's Group and Soong Family Big House."
"Then, after Soong Shiyan is released from prison, will you return Soong's Group to her?"
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan laughed coldly in her heart, but she still replied with a smile, "As long as Shiyan asks me, as long as the board members of the group are willing, I will definitely return Soong's Group to them and let her take care of it."
Of course, as long as she was here, she would absolutely not let Yan Duoya have the chance to leave the prison. Furthermore, she believed that the board of directors would definitely not agree to let this little mouse, Yan Duoya, spoil Soong's Group's pot of soup again!
"Since Miss Jing Sung has renounced Heir of the Huo Family's identity at this moment, then, Old Master, do you already have another suitable candidate in your heart?"
The old man smiled and nodded.
"Since that's the case, could the old man tell us a bit about this Heir of the Huo Family that you chose?"
The old man answered with a smile, "Of course you can — Jing Sung, you know my decision, so let you announce the new Heir of the Huo Family!" The old man looked at Soong Shiyan with a smile in his eyes, motioning for her to explain the situation to the reporters below the stage.
Soong Shiyan's heart froze when she heard these words. The smile on her face was extremely faint as she looked at the lordmaster. It could be said that she didn't have much of an expression now. Because she knew what the consequences would be if she did this.
Huo Mingyang liked her, so everyone in Huo Family already knew about her. Now, the old tutor knew that he couldn't forgive Huo Mingshen's deceit, and Huo Mingyang had always been by her side to pay attention to her. He was probably worried that he would fall for Huo Mingyang, which was why he held this banquet to announce the next Heir of the Huo Family.
Once she said the words "Huo Mingshen", Huo Mingyang would think that she had teamed up with Huo Mingshen to play with him. In this way, it was highly likely that Huo Mingyang would no longer like her and would once again be on the opposing side.
One had to say, the lordmaster's move had been truly marvelous, and had made her feel deceived and betrayed! Since that was the case, she would fulfill their wish!
Soong Shiyan looked at the camera below the stage with a brilliant smile on her face as she said word by word, "Now, let us welcome Heir of the Huo Family and Huo — — Ming — Shen — —"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the hall dimmed and a beam of light shone on the stairs of the second floor. The crowd couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the light.
A figure slowly appeared in the light. Huo Mingshen was wearing a black suit. His hair was combed meticulously, and the lines on the side of his face had a hint of coldness. His nose was high and his lips were bright. Soong Shiyan had never seen his stern expression before.
Soong Shiyan glanced at Huo Mingshen and turned back expressionlessly. The hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly.
When Soong Shiyan said the three words "Huo Mingshen", a shocked expression emerged on Huo Mingyang's face. When he saw Huo Mingshen in the beam of light, his face had already lost all color — Huo Mingshen, he, he's still alive? Wasn't he already dead? Back then, in the mortuary, didn't Jing Sung and the old man break all ties?
Huo Mingyang could not believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and continued looking at the man in the beam of light. His face was ashen, and he lost the ability to think.
Chiang Shuru and Huo Chenglieh's expressions could not be seen. They looked at each other, then clasped each other's hands, hoping to borrow the courage to hold on.
"Huo Mingshen? He's the legendary great Young Master Huo Family? "1
"Didn't he manage the UK industry all along? Why would they suddenly return? "
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?"
"This is the real Wealthy Young Master — this young master's Huo Family is indeed not something that the son of that Xiao San can be compared with."
… ….
The reporters were not idle either. They held their cameras and took pictures from different angles as soon as they could.
Huo Mingshen slowly walked downstairs to the stage and stood beside Soong Shiyan.
Soong Shiyan stretched out her hand and handed over the microphone. When Huo Mingshen picked up the phone, she left the stage. Only, he didn't expect that Huo Mingyang would actually extend his hand and pull her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.
Seeing that, the crowd in the audience went into an uproar again — — could it be that, although this Jing Sung was no longer Heir of the Huo Family, she was most likely the future Young Mistress of Huo Family?
The reporters were still busy with their work – after all, with such good materials, if they could be the first to announce it, then they would receive a big reward, and there was a high possibility of getting a promotion and a raise.
Huo Mingyang stood in the darkness below the stage. He had a cold expression on his face as he watched the two people that embraced each other on the stage. Huo Mingshen stood on the stage and looked at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Looking at Huo Mingshen's high and mighty attitude, Huo Mingyang clenched his hands tightly. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling — — Why? Why did Huo Mingshen become normal instead of dead? Now, not only did Huo Mingshen return to normal as the old gramps wished, he even seemed to have inherited the Huo Family. Jing Sung!
Lih Jinhsing stood among the crowd below the stage. He looked at the few people on the stage and then looked at Huo Chenglieh and Chiang Shuru. He seemed indifferent and unperturbed.
Huo Mingyang did not seem to be affected by it at all. He looked at Lih Jinhsing with a mocking smile on his face as he leisurely said, "Lih Jinhsing, I thought Heir of the Huo Family's position was yours." Who would have thought that the duckling who was about to talk finally flew off! "
When he said that, his heart was extremely sour. Naturally, he couldn't hide his gaze from Lih Jinhsing.
Lih Jinhsing laughed without a care. He looked at Huo Mingyang with a trace of pity in his eyes. It made him seem like a god looking down on all living things from a high vantage point.
"I never cared about Heir of the Huo Family's position — — Huo Mingyang, I advise you to take care of yourself!" With that, Lih Jinhsing walked leisurely to the side.
"You …" Huo Mingyang was rendered speechless by Lih Jinhsing's words. Looking at the two people on the stage, Huo Mingyang could only feel the rage in his heart.
