C441 Furious Chastisement
Huo Mingyang was driving with an ashen face and a gloomy face.
He was busy preparing Huo Chenglieh's work related to Huo's and would move to A City in two days. After all, the phrase "getting the moon in the near future" is indeed true. Just now, Huo Chenglieh had called him to tell him to quickly return to Huo Family. Huo Chenglieh's tone was not very good. He faintly felt that something bad had happened.
Sure enough, not long after Huo Chenglieh hung up, Chiang Shuru called him again and told him why Huo Chenglieh wanted him to go home.
This damnable Huo Mingshen, no wonder he looked so confident that day. It turned out that he was holding onto this weakness in his hands!
However, in the end, this matter was Chiang Shuru's fault. Back then, she shouldn't have pushed Lih Qiumei down the stairs. Since she wanted to do it, she should have been able to do it to the fullest. If she had caused that woman to disappear back then, then this wouldn't have happened!
But now, the matter had been exposed. If he still wanted the property under Huo Chenglieh's name, then he definitely couldn't rebel against Huo Chenglieh's decision. It seemed that the most important thing at the moment was to protect himself! Huo Mingyang silently said in his heart.
… ….
By the time Huo Mingyang returned to his Huo Family, the sky was already about to turn dark. Hearing that there was only the old man and Huo Mingshen at the dining table, Huo Mingyang did not even say hello and directly walked towards his villa.
Huo Chenglieh was furious and had no intention of eating. Seeing that Huo Chenglieh had not eaten yet, Chiang Shuru naturally did not dare to eat at this time. The two of them sat in the living room, the atmosphere cold and tense.
Seeing that Huo Mingyang had returned, a trace of happiness surfaced on Chiang Shuru's face. However, that trace of happiness quickly disappeared. She whispered, "Mingyang, you're back!"
Huo Mingyang nodded silently and walked straight towards Huo Chenglieh. He pretended not to understand as he asked, "Dad, did you call me home today for something?"
"For what, I think, you know it better than I do — your good mother must have let it out to you long ago!" Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Mom, what's going on?" Huo Mingyang turned his head and pretended not to understand as he looked at Chiang Shuru. He secretly gave her a look and asked helplessly, "Did you get into trouble again?"
Chiang Shuru saw Huo Mingyang winking at her and immediately guessed his intentions. She thought for a moment, then said to Huo Mingyang with guilt written all over her face, "Huo Mingyang, Mom let you down, and made you take the blame as well …" Before she could finish, Chiang Shuru started sobbing.
"Mom, what did you do wrong again?" Huo Mingyang said helplessly as he looked at Chiang Shuru's expression.
Chiang Shuru was too focused on crying and did not say a word. Sigh, forget it, as long as I can protect Mingyang, even if she was kicked out of Huo Family, she would still be able to live a luxurious life.
"Since your mom is only interested in crying, then let me --" Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang with a cold expression and said, "Previously, were you purposely talking to your mom for me?"
"What conversation?" Huo Mingyang asked despite knowing the answer.
"That day, you told your mother that Jinxing came to Huo Family in order to take revenge on me — did you guys mention this matter in front of me on purpose? The goal was for me to throw Jinxing aside and force him out of the Huo Family." Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang and asked with a cold expression.
"Dad, you should also be clear about this. Ever since Lih Jinhsing entered the Huo Family, how long has it been since you last came to my villa. Furthermore, this matter was only privately told to you by my mother and I, and there was no intention of telling you about it … How could I possibly know that you have secretly overheard our conversation? " Huo Mingyang looked at Huo Chenglieh and spoke in an unhurried manner.
Listening to Huo Mingyang's words, Huo Chenglieh felt that they made sense. When Lili had killed Qiumei, Mingyang hadn't been born yet. Lili couldn't have been stupid enough to tell him about the ugly things she had done, so it was possible that he didn't know.
Seeing that Huo Chenglieh was about to believe what he said, Huo Mingyang heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fine, Mingyang, I hope what you've said is true. I won't hold you accountable, but, Chiang Shuru, don't think I'll forgive you!" Huo Chenglieh looked at Chiang Shuru and said with a cold expression. The feelings he had for her for more than twenty years had finally disappeared at this moment.
Chiang Shuru turned pale. She looked at Huo Chenglieh with a pleading face and said, "Chenglieh, I admit that I was wrong, but Lih Qiumei has been dead for so many years. Can't you forgive me for our past relationship?"
"Forgive?" Hearing this, Huo Chenglieh sneered and said, "That year, you kept urging me to deal with Lin Wan to help you get on the throne. I complained that my father had broken up Qiumei and me, and even hid her so that I wouldn't be able to find her. In order to take revenge on him, I listened to your words, killed Lin Wan, and accepted you into Huo Family — I never thought that you would be the culprit behind all of this, causing me to never be able to see Qiumei again! "
As Huo Chenglieh spoke, he reached out to toss the teacup and fruit plate on the table to the ground, scaring Chiang Shuru, who was standing at the side, out of her wits.
"Chenglieh, I'm only doing this because I love you!" Chiang Shuru came to Huo Chenglieh's side, stretched out her trembling hand, and held onto his sleeve as she spoke in a weak voice.
"Love me? Chiang Shuru, why are you with me? Do you think I don't know? In your eyes, am I, Huo Chenglieh, a fool? " Huo Chenglieh said angrily.
With that, he swung Chiang Shuru onto the ground, not even sparing her a glance.
Chiang Shuru coincidentally fell onto the pile of broken porcelain pieces. Her arms and thighs were cut and bleeding.
"Ah!" Chiang Shuru cried out in pain.2
Hearing Chiang Shuru's pained cry, Huo Chenglieh didn't react at all. He seemed to treat her as a stranger that they had met by chance.
Seeing Huo Chenglieh's cold expression, Huo Mingyang's face darkened. The hand he hid behind his back suddenly clenched tightly — — Who would have thought that Huo Chenglieh would be so heartless to Chiang Shuru in front of his son. Although he didn't like his mother, he was still angry when he saw her being treated coldly by Huo Chenglieh.
Huo Mingyang wanted to help Chiang Shuru up, but he stood where he was and wondered if he should help Chiang Shuru up.
Now that Huo Chenglieh was so angry, if he helped Chiang Shuru up from the ground, perhaps Huo Chenglieh would feel that the two of them were in the same group and distance himself from him because of this. But, what if this was Huo Chenglieh's test? Huo Chenglieh saw that he couldn't even support his mother who had fallen down, so of course, he would feel that he was a cold and heartless person. Therefore, it was really hard to guess one's thoughts.
