C424 Never Give up

There was no light in the room, only the moonlight coming in from outside the window, which made the room a little brighter.

Huo Mingyang sat dispiritedly on the floor, holding the bottle and gulping down the liquor. On the ground, there were already a few empty wine bottles. Even the air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol, making people feel disgusted.

As Chiang Shuru entered the room, she looked up and saw her son, who she had always been proud of, sitting in the corner and drinking without a care in the world. It was the first time she had ever seen Huo Mingyang look so decadent, and Chiang Shuru felt a pang of uneasiness in her heart — it was all the fault of that damnable Jing Sung, and of that damnable Huo Mingshen! If it weren't for them, how could Mingyang have become like this?

"Mingyang, stop drinking —" Chiang Shuru said with a pained expression. Then she walked slowly to Huo Mingyang's side, crouched down, and tried to take the bottle from him. However, Chiang Shuru was glad that Huo Chenglieh did not come with her. If she saw Mingyang like this, his attitude towards him would probably be even worse.

"Don't worry about me, just leave me to fend for myself!" Huo Mingyang said as he waved Chiang Shuru's hand away with his eyes closed, giving up on himself.

Chiang Shuru couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Huo Mingyang's expression.

Since the arrival of Huo Family from Lih Jinhsing's jinx, her position in the Huo Family had already become extremely difficult. Now, Huo Mingshen who was originally dead had returned safe and sound. The old man had even handed over the authority to manage Huo Family to him. If her son were to give up on himself like this, then, Huo Mingshen and Lih Jinhsing wouldn't even need to fight. The mother and son duo already had no place to stand on in Huo Family.

However, she had suffered for so many years in the Huo Family, endured humiliation and grievances, and endured silently for so many years, she definitely would not give up so easily!

Thinking about this, Chiang Shuru slowly crouched down and quietly said, "Mom knows that you are sad, not because of Huo Mingshen, but because of Jing Sung. That is why you hid in your room and drank so much. Although Mom doesn't like Jing Sung, but I have to tell you a fact — in fact, you misunderstood Jing Sung. "

Hearing that, Huo Mingyang did not care about drinking anymore. He raised his head and opened his eyes. He looked at Chiang Shuru and asked with a surprised expression, "Mom, what do you mean by this?"

"Just now, Huo Mingshen showed his intentions to Jing Sung in front of everyone in the banquet hall and in front of the media. It's a pity that he was heartlessly rejected by that girl, Jing Sung, in front of everyone. Jing Sung said that she had nothing to do with Huo Mingshen, that she had no relationship, and that she would never marry. "

Seeing that Huo Mingyang finally had a slight reaction, Chiang Shuru told Huo Mingyang everything she saw and heard in the banquet hall in detail.

Hearing Chiang Shuru's words, Huo Mingyang's eyes lit up. However, he still looked at his mother doubtfully and asked, "Mom, are you sure that what you said is true?"

"Child, would mom lie to you?" Chiang Shuru said unhappily, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the people at that time. Moreover, the media here tonight all know about this matter – but, I think, the Old Master won't let them broadcast this part. "

Huo Mingyang was elated, but a hint of melancholy still surfaced on his face, "But, Jing Sung already knew that Huo Mingshen was still alive. Maybe, the fake death of Huo Mingyang was planned by her. Otherwise, when she found out that Huo Mingshen was still alive, she couldn't have been this calm. Furthermore, she couldn't have said Huo Mingshen's name when she announced the successor. "

Seeing that Huo Mingyang was a bit stubborn, Chiang Shuru frowned. She rolled her eyes, then said casually, "Mingyang, you have to believe Jing Sung. I heard that she didn't know that Huo Mingshen was still alive." In order to invigorate Huo Mingyang's courage and ambition, Chiang Shuru embellished Soong Shiyan's good opinion.

Hearing that, Huo Mingyang thought about it.

Back then, when he found out about Huo Mingshen's' death ', he still vividly remembered her heartbroken appearance in the morgue. And hadn't she been drunk at the bar the other day? Could it be that she found out about Huo Mingshen's survival at that time? Therefore, she treated Huo Mingshen coldly. This made sense.

Seeing that Huo Mingyang's face had warmed up, Chiang Shuru was naturally happy in her heart. She looked at Huo Mingyang, changed to a look of worry, and leisurely said: "It's just a pity, now that Huo Mingshen has obtained the Huo Family, and your father has the heart to leave his assets to Lih Jinhsing, even if Jing Sung one day falls in love with you, you won't be able to win against Huo Mingshen."

After hearing Chiang Shuru's words, how could Huo Mingyang not understand her implied meaning? From the very beginning, Chiang Shuru had put down her enmity towards Jing Sung and helped Jing Sung speak up. He already had a vague idea of her intentions.

Lili saw that Huo Mingyang didn't say anything, and she frowned slightly. Then she continued, "Mingyang, Huo Mingshen has the Old Man supporting him from behind. Although we can't beat him, we still have a chance to deal with Lih Jinhsing. Your father has never liked this son of his, Huo Mingshen. As long as Lih Jinhsing is out of favour, his fortune will naturally be left to you. "

Seeing Chiang Shuru's excited face, Huo Mingyang smiled coldly and said at a leisurely pace, "How can I not know what you are thinking? If I get completely lost, you won't be able to stay in Huo Family anymore. "

Chiang Shuru blushed when she heard that. She looked at her son for a long time before saying, "No matter what, mom cares about you, right? If I lose my favor, what good will it do you? You're starting your own business now, and I don't know how long it'll take for you to have your father's fortune. When the time comes, do you think Jing Sung would fall for you? Don't forget, she has the Soong's Group and the Venerable family's mansion, so she's worth several billion. Perhaps, in her eyes, you are not even worthy to carry her shoes. "

Huo Mingyang couldn't help but clench his hands tightly and a trace of determination could be seen on his face. He put the bottle down and said slowly, "I know what to do — you go first. I want to be alone."

Chiang Shuru saw that her words seemed to have some effect, and was worried that if she continued to speak, it would make Huo Mingyang unhappy. So she nodded and said, "In that case, I'm off — Mingyang, from today on, you'd better move home. "Being the first to reach the moon in close proximity to the water tower, this old saying is naturally reasonable."

Huo Mingyang sat on the floor and looked out the window at the moonlight. He didn't hear Chiang Shuru's words at all.

Seeing this, Chiang Shuru helplessly shook her head. She turned around and left Huo Mingyang's room, gently closing the door for him.

He had already made up his mind in his heart about what he would do next. He knew that Soong Shiyan wasn't a stone-hearted person. The reason why she was cold to him before was because she thought that he had killed Huo Mingshen. However, now that Huo Mingshen had returned alive, Jing Sung felt that she had been cheated. This was a good time for him to take action.

As long as he pushed the responsibility of Huo Mingshen's car accident to the end and got injured over and over again, he believed that she wouldn't be as cold towards him as she was before. Moreover, he could use her sympathy to make a fool of himself in front of her and lower her guard. Jing Sung, on the other hand, might find that he was good and fall in love with her in the process of getting along with him.

Of course, to Huo Mingyang, the most important thing right now was to investigate Lih Jinhsing properly and give him a fatal blow when he least expected it.

… ….

Soong Shiyan and Tiankui arrived at the hotel in C City. She got out of the car, intending to carry Xiaohu out of the car. Unexpectedly, Xiaohu was awoken by accident.

"Ms Soong, am I dreaming?" Xiaohu rubbed his sleepy eyes as he looked at Soong Shiyan in surprise.

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan's heart ached. She felt that she owed Xiaohu and didn't have much time to see him. Thinking like this, Soong Shiyan decided that she must accompany Xiaohu properly in the future. She must see him grow up happily with her own eyes.

"Xiaohu, this is not a dream, Ms Soong is beside you!" Soong Shiyan said to Xiaohu with a smile.

Hearing Soong Shiyan's words, Xiaohu's sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace. However, when he saw that there were some unfamiliar hotels nearby, he curiously asked, "But, Ms Soong, where are we now?"

"Xiaohu, we'll stay at the hotel tonight. Tomorrow night, Ms Soong can bring you to my home. From now on, you'll stay with me." Soong Shiyan explained to Xiaohu with a smile.

"Really? In the future, can I live with Ms Soong? " Xiaohu asked excitedly while looking at Soong Shiyan.

Soong Shiyan smiled and nodded. Next to her, Cen Mu also smiled and said to Xiaohu, "That's right. From now on, you can live with Sister Song. How is it? Is Xiaohu happy?"

"I'm happy!" Xiaohu's face was brimming with a smile as he replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan touched Xiaohu's head with her hand — it seemed that she hadn't been with Xiaohu for a long time, but in Xiaohu's eyes, she was still his most intimate person. He still liked and relied on her, how could she not be moved?

"But Ms Soong, didn't I just sleep at Huo Family? Ms Soong, why aren't we staying at Huo Family tonight? " Xiaohu looked up at Soong Shiyan and asked innocently.

Soong Shiyan's face darkened a little when she heard this. How could she explain the matter between him, Huo Mingshen, and the old man to Xiaohu, who didn't understand anything?

Seeing that, Xiaohu knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Ms Soong would not have brought him away from the Huo Family overnight. He pretended to be very tired and yawned, then said to Soong Shiyan, "Ms Soong, what is it? Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" "I'm so sleepy right now, I really want to sleep …"

Seeing this, Soong Shiyan smiled. She quickly took Xiaohu to the elevator and walked towards the hotel room that they had booked earlier.

When they arrived at the hotel room, Xiaohu fell asleep very quickly. Cen Mu also went to the room that Tiankui had booked for him to rest.

Looking at Xiaohu's sleeping face, Tiankui comforted Soong Shiyan, "Don't worry, this child is smart and sensible. He will definitely agree with your actions."

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan sighed and said, "Even if he doesn't agree, there's nothing we can do about it — Old Master and Huo Mingshen helped me when I was at my most hopeless and helpless, I should be grateful. But now, I really don't want to have anything to do with them anymore. "

Seeing Soong Shiyan like this, Tiankui could not help but think of Lain. She also sighed involuntarily and the two of them fell into silence.

… ….

Huo Family, during lunch time, a table of people were eating their food with no interest at all. The table was completely silent, as if what they were eating was not rice, but the last meal …

"Jing Sung, why didn't I see Xiaohu?" The old man looked at Soong Shiyan as he quietly asked, breaking the silence.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan inwardly sneered, but her face didn't have much expression. Last night, she had asked Tiankui to take Xiaohu away from Huo Family. It was impossible that the servant didn't inform the butler of this matter, and once the butler found out, he would definitely inform the Old Master. He didn't know what the old tutor's intentions were now.

"Old man, I took Xiaohu away last night. When I went out in the morning, he wasn't awake yet, so I didn't have the heart to wake him up. In the future, Xiaohu will live with me and I can take good care of him. " Soong Shiyan spoke the truth with a magnanimous expression.

Hearing this, the old man nodded his head and said, "Since that's the case, I'll respect your decision."

Now, Jing Sung had brought Xiaohu away from Huo Family. It seemed that she had really been injured by Mingshen, and was determined to cut off all contact with Huo Family.

At the long dining table, Huo Mingshen sat across from Lili. However, Lili never looked in his direction, not even once.

On the other hand, Huo Chenglieh and Chiang Shuru were sitting very close to Huo Mingshen, but they kept looking in Huo Mingshen's direction, unable to sit still. She was sitting on the other side with Huo Mingyang and Lih Jinhsing. Huo Mingyang and Lih Jinhsing were sitting next to each other with indifferent expressions. However, there seemed to be a surging tide between them.

Soong Shiyan had no appetite. She ate two random bites of the dish and then put down her chopsticks.

Because of what Huo Mingshen said last night, Soong Shiyan came to Huo Family early in the morning. She planned to have a good talk with Huo Mingshen and the old man, and find a way to repay the favor she owed them. However, she didn't expect that when she arrived at Huo Family, the servant would tell her that Huo Mingshen hadn't woken up yet, and they didn't dare to wake him up, afraid that Huo Mingshen would get angry again.

The old man wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, but he didn't need to talk to Soong Shiyan. As long as Soong Shiyan stayed away from Huo Mingshen, he would be satisfied. Since Huo Mingshen didn't appear, he had no other choice. Huo Mingshen arrived late at lunchtime. Therefore, she had no choice but to stay at Huo Family to eat lunch together and discuss matters only after lunch.2

Soong Shiyan didn't know if Huo Mingshen really hadn't woken up yet or if he was trying to stall for time. However, she wasn't in the mood to argue with him. She only hoped that she could finish her meal and discuss matters as soon as possible before heading back to A City.

Seeing Soong Shiyan put down her chopsticks, Huo Mingyang gave her a prawn and put it in Soong Shiyan's bowl.

"Jing Sung, you came early in the morning and didn't have any snacks to eat. You should eat more. Don't get hungry." Huo Mingyang whispered to Soong Shiyan with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing this, Huo Mingshen's face sank. "Pa!" He put his chopsticks on the table. The sudden noise made everyone on the table shudder. The old man, on the other hand, did not have much of a reaction as he continued to eat.

"Jing Sung, didn't you say you were here to discuss something? "Let's go, I'm free now." Huo Mingshen stood up from his seat and said unhappily as he looked at Soong Shiyan who sat opposite him.

Soong Shiyan was about to get up when she heard Huo Mingyang slowly say, "It's lunchtime right now. Jing Sung hasn't even had a few mouthfuls of food. You're forcing her to go talk some stuff right now, aren't you?!"

Seeing Huo Mingyang openly speaking up for Soong Shiyan, Huo Mingshen's expression turned even uglier. He looked at Huo Mingyang, a cold smile on his face as he leisurely said, "It seems like you don't have to worry about how Jing Sung will choose — Jing Sung, do you choose to eat now or do you want to talk about other things? "However, after I finish eating, I will be going out. I'm afraid that I won't be able to return home until nightfall."

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan's expression turned ugly — this Huo Mingshen was doing it on purpose! In any case, she had no appetite. Rather than sitting at the dining table, she might as well go and discuss some matters.

Soong Shiyan stood up angrily and followed Huo Mingshen to the tea room.

Watching Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingshen's backs as they left together, Huo Mingyang's hand under the table suddenly tightened. Veins popped up on the back of his hand, showing his anger at the moment — — This Huo Mingshen had gone too far!

Lih Jinhsing sat on the side and watched all of Huo Mingyang's actions. He turned his head and glanced at Huo Mingshen and Soong Shiyan's backs. Then, he buried his head in his food, looking like it was nothing to do with him and nothing to do with him.

… ….

"Tell me, how much money do you want to stop bothering me? 100 million, 200 million, or even a billion? If you say so, I will do my best to give you the money. " Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen and asked coldly.

Hearing that, Huo Mingshen's heart turned cold, he smiled in disdain, and then said leisurely: "Harassment? Jing Sung, in your eyes, I like you, is it just harassment? Also, do you think that I would care about this little bit of money? Whether it was before, now, or in the future, I will not be like Huo Mingyang who views money as a supreme thing. "

"Then what do you want? "Other than money, I don't have anything else to give you — Huo Mingshen, if you don't have any sincerity, I think there's no need for us to continue our discussion." Soong Shiyan said with a cold expression.

"Jing Sung, you know what I want." Huo Mingshen looked into Soong Shiyan's eyes and said firmly.
