C442 Abandoned Cheshire
Huo Mingyang was conflicted for a moment. In the end, he reached out his hand to help Chiang Shuru up. He helped Chiang Shuru to sit on the sofa at the side and simply bandaged her wound. Then, he looked at his father and hesitantly said, "Dad, I don't know what Mom said to you about Lin Wan." But that is your own will. "If you don't want to, you won't even let Mom put a knife to your neck — how can you target her for that now?"
Huo Mingyang knew that the reason Huo Chenglieh treated Chiang Shuru like this was because of Lih Qiumei. Merely, right now, he was' unaware 'of this matter. Thus, he naturally could not mention about it. Else, he would truly confess without even fighting.
"If it was only about Lin Wan, do you think I would settle scores with your mother after all these years?" Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang and said leisurely.
"Why is that? "Judging from your tone, Mom seems to have done something to Lih Qiumei …" Huo Mingyang asked in confusion.
"That year, when your mother found out about Qiumei's existence, she came knocking on our door and even ruthlessly pushed Qiumei, who was pregnant, down the stairs in an attempt to kill the child in her womb. Fortunately, Jinxing was lucky enough to survive. Otherwise, how would I know what your mom did? " Huo Chenglieh said angrily and sat down on the sofa, breathing heavily.
"Mom, how could you do that? "Lih Jinhsing was still in Lih Qiumei's stomach at the time. He's just an innocent unborn baby, how can you be so cruel and actually want to kill him!" Huo Mingyang looked at Chiang Shuru and said with a pained expression. He winked at her to make her admit her mistake.
"Yes, I was really befuddled, and that's why I did such a silly thing," Chiang Shuru said, following Huo Mingyang's instructions. Then she turned to Huo Chenglieh and said sadly, "Chenglieh, I know I was wrong! All these years, I have always blamed myself for this incident. Every time I think of Lih Qiumei, I feel so guilty that I can't sleep or eat at all. "
"Guilt? Do you think I would believe you? " Huo Chenglieh looked at Chiang Shuru and said coldly, "Chiang Shuru, all these years, I've been following your wishes and not exposing your disguise, but that doesn't mean I'm as stupid as you think!"
Seeing that Huo Chenglieh's voice suddenly became a few notches higher, Chiang Shuru was so frightened that she shrank back her neck. She didn't even feel any pain from the injuries on her body anymore.
"Dad, I know that Lih Qiumei is very important to you, and Mom did indeed do something wrong in this matter. But no matter how angry you are, you can't just push Mom to the ground! If the servants at home were to see it, who knows what they would say in private. "
Hearing Huo Mingyang's words, Huo Chenglieh frowned, but at least he stopped making a ruckus.
Huo Mingyang quietly sighed in relief within his heart when he saw this. It seemed that Huo Chenglieh was somewhat rational. Therefore, he continued, "Dad, you should know in your heart that Huo Mingshen knows that whatever we have done to his mother and him, he will definitely not let us live peacefully. "This time, he is borrowing Lih Qiumei's power to deliberately distance himself from us — if you really cut off all ties with Mom and me in a fit of rage, wouldn't that be perfect for him?"
Hearing this, Huo Chenglieh felt that Huo Mingyang's words were not unreasonable — Huo Mingshen had faked his death last time, and now he had quietly returned to his hometown. It was all planned together with the old man. Even an outsider like Jing Sung seemed to know about it, yet she had never heard of it. From this, it could be seen that Huo Mingshen had really put his father in the enemy's camp — it seemed that there really was no such thing as a father or son between him and Huo Mingshen.
Huo Mingshen had always known what he had done to Lin Wan and him. He had returned back to his country quietly, and his goal was definitely not just to take over Huo Family! If he really broke off his relationship with Mingyang and Chiang Shuru in a fit of rage, it seemed that he would really get what he wanted.
"Then tell me, how should I solve this issue — I can make your mother suffer the punishment she deserves, but I can't make Huo Mingshen do what he wants." Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang and spoke in an unhurried manner.
Hearing that, Huo Mingyang's expression froze. He did not expect Huo Chenglieh to let him decide the punishment for Chiang Shuru.
However, he quickly recovered. He looked at Chiang Shuru, then looked at Huo Chenglieh, and leisurely said: "This matter, mother has indeed done wrong. "Since you've made a mistake, you should be punished. No matter what you decide, Dad, I won't oppose it."
"Oh, really? If I let you be punished with your mother, would you not object? " Huo Chenglieh looked at Huo Mingyang and said with a stern expression.
Seeing Huo Chenglieh like this, the smile on Huo Mingyang's face stiffened. However, he still opened his mouth and said, "No matter what, I will respect Dad's decision."
Huo Chenglieh nodded. After a long while, he slowly said, "If that's the case, then when the time comes, don't beg for me on behalf of your mother."
"En!" Huo Mingyang nodded and said with determination.
"Chiang Shuru, since you insist on staying in Huo Family, then I have decided …" Huo Chenglieh said slowly.
Chiang Shuru looked nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm.
"Within three days, you must move out your Huo Family!" Huo Chenglieh said with a cold expression.
Chiang Shuru heaved a sigh of relief — luckily, Huo Chenglieh's decision was within her expectations.
"However, I will state this in advance, Mingyang. If you dare to support your mother after she leaves the Huo Family, I will change my will at any time." Huo Chenglieh said slowly, looking at Huo Mingyang.
This time, Chiang Shuru's expression changed. After all, Huo Mingshen had returned to his Huo Family and had been trying to deal with her all day long. If she continued to stay in the Huo Family, she would be thrown off the face by that old man and Huo Mingshen. Not long later, she would probably be so angry that she will have a heart attack, or even die from brain thrombosis! After leaving the Huo Family, Mingyang could still support her. In this way, she could also live a luxurious life.
However, if Huo Mingyang couldn't help her, then wouldn't she have to drink to the northwest wind?
Although Chiang Shuru had lived in Huo Family for twenty years, Huo Chenglieh had always been obedient to her during these twenty years. She wasn't worried, so she spent the money she had, without any savings.
"Chenglieh, how could you do this to me? It's not like you don't know, I don't have any savings. If I go out like this, wouldn't I starve to death on the streets? " Chiang Shuru looked at Huo Chenglieh and said with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Chiang Shuru like this, Huo Mingyang wanted to help her say a few words, but remembering what Huo Chenglieh said just now, he couldn't help but shut his mouth. Now, although he could use Huo Chenglieh's money, he had to get Huo Chenglieh's permission. Furthermore, Huo Chenglieh had already made a will. The money would only be eligible to be inherited after his death.0
"Mom, tell me yourself. Any one of the jewelry you bought is worth a lot of money, and at that time, you can simply sell off one or two of them. It'll be enough for you to live and eat outside your Huo Family." Huo Mingyang looked at Chiang Shuru and whispered to her.
"But, those are Mom's precious treasures, and there are also quite a few limited amounts of money. How could Mom be willing to sell them?" Chiang Shuru looked at Huo Mingyang and sighed helplessly.
Seeing that Chiang Shuru wasn't willing to sell her treasures even at such a crucial moment, Huo Mingyang helplessly shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, you can decide for yourself — would you rather starve to death on the streets with all this jewelry? I don't care about anything else!"
"Mingyang, how can you talk to your mother like that? "You …" Chiang Shuru wanted to say something, but Huo Mingyang stopped her with a look.
He shook his head in disappointment and then said: "Since you are so reluctant to sell your treasures, then, leave all of your treasures in the Huo Family, you are not allowed to take any of them with you!"
Chiang Shuru was so frightened by these words that she dropped to the ground. Right now, Huo Chenglieh already did not allow Mingyang to help him, if she could not even take away these jewelry, and those limited hand bags, from the Huo Family, then how would she live!
"Huo Chenglieh — —" This time, Chiang Shuru directly called Huo Chenglieh's full name, with a trace of resolute hatred in her eyes, "If, you really want to do this, then, the only thing that can leave Huo Family is my corpse!"
With that, Chiang Shuru picked up the broken pieces of the plate from the ground and said resolutely to her wrist.
Seeing this, Huo Mingyang's heart sank a little — Chiang Shuru was already like this, but Huo Chenglieh remained unmoved. Could it be that the company of his mother and himself at his side all these years could not compare to that of a dead person?
More importantly, before Lih Jinhsing appeared, he regarded himself as his most satisfied son. However, after Lih Jinhsing appeared, he seemed to have completely forgotten himself. It wasn't until he realized that Lih Jinhsing had tricked him that he remembered that he still had a son!
Thinking of this, Huo Mingyang clenched his hands, but he still stood quietly at the side, coldly watching this farce.
"Chiang Shuru, since you wholeheartedly want to die, I won't stop you from doing so. I want to see if you can really bear to throw away these things and die just like that?" Huo Chenglieh looked at Chiang Shuru, who was looking for death, and said coldly.
Chiang Shuru had not expected this reaction from Huo Chenglieh. So, after listening to him, Chiang Shuru looked at him in shock and murmured, "Chenglieh..."
"Forget it, for the sake of our friendship for more than twenty years, I will give you fifty million. From now on, you will no longer be in the Huo Family anymore. However, do not take any of the things that you like — — Chiang Shuru, this is my last concession. If you are still not satisfied, then go to hell! " With that, Huo Chenglieh left with his hands behind his back.
As she watched Huo Chenglieh leave, the broken piece of porcelain in Chiang Shuru's hand fell to the ground.
"Mingyang …" Chiang Shuru raised her head and looked at her only son as she shouted with a trembling voice.
"Mom, abandoning the car to protect your honor is the only thing we can do now. Dad is still willing to give you at least fifty million, so you should leave first — don't worry, even if we can't let you return to the Huo Family, I will let you live a life without worries, and continue living the life that you want to live!" Saying that, Huo Mingyang turned around and looked at Huo Chenglieh with a trace of viciousness in his eyes.
