C426 Master of the Song Family
"Let go." Soong Shiyan and Huo Mingyang stopped walking. She raised her head and looked at Huo Mingyang, who was beside her, and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Huo Mingyang was aware of it. Before Soong Shiyan could say it again, he had already let go of her hand. He looked at Soong Shiyan and said hesitantly, "Jing Sung …"
"Just now, you were actually already outside the teahouse, right?" Although it was a question, Soong Shiyan said it with a tone of certainty.
Huo Mingyang wanted to use his smile to ease his awkwardness, but who knew that smile only made him more embarrassed. "Jing Sung, I can't hide anything from you — you're right, I'm already outside. From the moment you told Huo Mingshen that you liked me, I was already there – but you can rest assured that I will keep my mouth shut and will not reveal a single word. "
Seeing that Huo Mingyang was quite honest, Soong Shiyan nodded her head, believing his words. Then, he leisurely said, "I think you should know in your heart that the reason why I told Huo Mingshen that I like you is …"
"I know that. The reason why you said that was to make Huo Mingshen give up. You don't really like me." Huo Mingyang nodded and said to Soong Shiyan.
"You know your own limitations." Soong Shiyan glanced at Huo Mingyang and said expressionlessly.
"I don't think Huo Mingshen will give up on you that easily. If you need me in the future, just give me a call and I'll be by your side." Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan and said with a serious expression.
Although you don't like me, but I like you. Therefore, I won't give up so easily! Huo Mingyang said silently in his heart.
Soong Shiyan nodded and said, "Alright, you can take it here."
Huo Mingyang stopped seeing that and said to Soong Shiyan with a smile, "Be careful then."
… ….
As soon as Huo Mingyang sent Soong Shiyan away, his right-hand man delivered a package, saying it was from a detective. He returned to his villa, sat in his study and opened the package. Huo Mingyang smiled proudly as he looked at the photo inside.
A few days ago, he entrusted a private detective to investigate Lih Jinhsing's affairs. Unexpectedly, the private detective's business ability was really worthy of the price that he called out. Within a week, that person had already investigated Lih Jinhsing's affairs. And now, what he was holding in his hand could be considered Lih Jinhsing's dark figures-- It turned out that Lih Jinhsing was a gay!
Nowadays, society is becoming more and more enlightened, to Huo Mingyang, homosexuality is not much. However, for someone as old-fashioned as Huo Chenglieh and the old man, if the media were to find out that Lih Jinhsing was a homosexual, they would definitely spread the news and it would eventually become a scandal of the upper class.
However, Huo Mingyang still frowned slightly. At the end of the day, the things in the picture could only be called black material. Lih Jinhsing's sexual orientation would indeed make Huo Chenglieh dissatisfied with him, but it wouldn't deal a fatal blow. If he were to completely defeat Lih Jinhsing, he would have to consider further.
… ….
When Huo Mingshen woke up, he saw the old man standing beside his bed. He looked at the old man with a bit of complaint, but in the end, he still shouted: "Grandpa …"
Seeing that Huo Mingshen had woken up, the old man looked a little happy, but also a little guilty. Only after a long while did he open his mouth and say quietly, "Mingshen, I know that you are complaining about Grandfather. But, grandfather is doing this not only for Huo Family, but also for you! "
Huo Mingshen went silent and did not respond to the old man's words.
It was true that his grandfather's actions were wrong, but he didn't have the qualifications to blame him. Grandfather's actions had disappointed Soong Shiyan. However, his deception towards Soong Shiyan was the main reason why she had broken off all contact with Huo Family.
Seeing that Huo Mingshen was silent, the old man thought he was still blaming himself. He let out a helpless sigh and said, "Mingshen, as matters stand, not only does Grandfather know of your feelings for that Lili, but he also knows that Lili doesn't have any feelings for Huo Family. "Since that's the case, no matter what you want to do in the future, grandpa will not interfere — I will let my children have their own blessings. I will let you decide your own life."
Hearing this, Huo Mingshen looked at the old man in disbelief and muttered, "Grandpa …"
"Back then, I wholeheartedly wanted your father to fail in his marriage to your mother, so I personally broke up the relationship between him and Lih Qiumei. Later on, he actually married your mother, but in the end, it led to your mother's tragedy and caused you to live in pain for so many years. Grandfather does not want you to repeat the same mistake again, so, whoever you like, whatever you want to do, you can do it. No matter what decision you make, your grandfather will support you. " The old man looked at Huo Mingshen and said seriously.
Huo Mingshen looked at the old man and nodded excitedly.
"Alright, take a good rest now. I'll head back first." The old man patted Huo Mingshen's hand and said with a kind expression.
"En," Huo Mingshen smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, it's getting late, so you should be careful — Butler, support grandpa and don't let him fall down."
The butler nodded and said, "Young master, don't worry. I've served the old man for so many years, I know what I should do."
Saying that, the butler supported the old man and left Huo Mingshen's villa.
Looking at the departing backs of the old man and the butler, Huo Mingshen was a little happy and the smile on his face increased.
The old man and the butler walked out of Huo Mingshen's mansion. Looking at the brightly lit mansion, the old man let out a long sigh.2
"At first, when I heard he hadn't gotten up in the morning, I thought he was trying to stall for time. Later, he heard from the doctor that he must have had a fever after a cold bath and had spent the night in his room blowing air conditioning. He didn't get up until noon. Mingshen wanted to use a trick to get Jing Sung to stay. But who would have thought that the little girl had truly hardened her heart to draw a clear line between her and her Huo Family … "
The butler sighed as he heard Dudian's words.
… ….
After Soong Shiyan left Huo Family, she went to the hotel to pick up Xiaohu and Cen Mu, then drove back to the villa that the Old Master had given her. Once she returned to the villa, she told the servants to pack up their things and prepared to move back to Soong Family Big House the next day. This villa should be returned to its owner as soon as possible.
After Xiaohu went to sleep, Soong Shiyan went to the balcony. She stood on the balcony, looking at the night sky. She could not help but let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat depressed.
"Ever since you returned from the Huo Family, I saw that you were unable to sit still and could only sigh. Did something happen?" Seeing that Soong Shiyan was lost in thought, Tiankui brought two glasses of red wine to the balcony, standing side by side with Soong Shiyan. She passed the red wine cup to Soong Shiyan and asked casually.
"Who said I can't sit still and sigh? I'm just standing on the balcony to catch the cold. " Soong Shiyan tried to defend herself.
Hearing this, Tiankui smiled. She waved the wine glass in her hand, causing the scarlet liquid to swirl a few times within the cup.
"Jing Sung, I'm afraid only you know whether you're taking advantage of the cold or worrying about someone. However, your manner of doing things that you do not dare to do is surprising to me! " Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan as she teased her.
A trace of nervousness surfaced on Soong Shiyan's face. She looked at Tiankui and leisurely said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early. We'll move back to Soong Family Big House tomorrow morning."
"However, I am still in high spirits and am not sleepy at all." Seeing that Soong Shiyan intended to avoid the question, Tiankui smiled and said.
"Since you can't sleep, you can go for a run around the garden or go for a boxing session. I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep." With that, Soong Shiyan carried her goblet into the bedroom.
Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan's back and said with a smile, "Jing Sung, I think you're actually very spirited right now … How about, you don't need to sleep. You better see your own heart clearly!"
Soong Shiyan's footsteps paused as she heard this. Then, she quickened her steps and walked towards her bedroom. However, from the view of her back, it seemed as though she was fleeing in panic.
Tiankui couldn't help but smile. She turned around and looked at the night sky, a hint of worry on her face. She stood on the balcony for a long time, and finally finished all the wine in her cup in one gulp. Only then did she slowly walk towards her bedroom.
… ….
After the incident with Yan Duoya, the servants in Soong Family Mansion were somewhat uneasy, worried that they would lose their jobs. Later on, when they heard that Yan Duoya had already given all of her wealth to Soong Shiyan before the incident, they were slightly relieved — — Because, after interacting with Soong Shiyan many times, they knew that Soong Shiyan was different from those so-called famous people. Although she was Heir of the Huo Family, she did not have a single trace of arrogance and domineering aura.
So, when they heard that Soong Shiyan was going to move in to Soong Family Manor today, the servants finished their breakfast early in the morning and took a cab to Soong Family Manor's main entrance, waiting for Soong Shiyan and the others to arrive.
Tiankui drove closer to Soong Family Manor. Seeing that there were many servants standing at the entrance, she smiled at Soong Shiyan and said: "Jing Sung, look at you. Entering the Soong Family Manor can be said to be the heart of the people."
Soong Shiyan had originally been resting with her eyes closed, but upon hearing Tiankui's words, she opened her eyes and looked outside. As expected, she saw all of the servants and bodyguards in Soong Family Mansion standing at the entrance, waiting for her arrival. Seeing this, she was slightly moved in her heart.
Yan Duoya did not have any trusted aides among these servants. Back then, after Yan Duoya obtained her Soong Family, in order to prevent any weakness from falling into the hands of others, the people who helped her in any way already died a violent death. Yinn Haoming had also found an excuse to chase away all the servants in Soong Family Great Mansion. Currently, the servants in Soong Family Main Hall were only those who worked in Soong Family, and did not know about the matters of Soong Family. Thus, Soong Shiyan decided to keep these servants to continue working in Soong Family Hall.
"Tiankui, stop the car, I'm going down." Soong Shiyan turned around and said to Tiankui.
Hearing that, Tiankui nodded and slowly stopped the car. When the servant saw this, he wanted to go up and open the door for Soong Shiyan, but she had already opened it for them. She then got out of the car and walked over to them.
"Hello Miss Jing Sung!" The servants shouted in unison.
Soong Shiyan smiled and nodded, then said to the servants, "Hello, everyone is waiting here so early. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." The servants replied with a smile.
"You can go back to the house first — it will take me a while to deliver my luggage. At that time, everyone will be busy! " Soong Shiyan said with a smile.
