Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The young master of the Xu family was called Xu Jingzhi. He was just twenty this year and was currently studying in military school. He rarely came back a few times a year. A few years ago, the child had been rebellious because he could not understand his parents. It was said that it was because of Huo Shengyuan’s encouragement that he had been admitted to military school, and that was why he had become as sensible as he was now.
However, this child still did not have his father in his eyes. Since he was young, he felt that his father only had work and others in his eyes. There was a huge rift between him and Elder Xu. Now, he had returned from Elder Xu’s birthday banquet because he wanted to see Huo Shengyuan.
Seeing this scene, Mother Xu’s mood was particularly complicated. She didn’t know if she should tell him about Huo Shengyuan’s true character.
“So what if you’re back? Do you have anyone else in your eyes?” Father Xu frowned and lectured Xu Jingzhi. However, Xu Jingzhi didn’t even look at him and continued to look at Huo Shengyuan passionately.
Huo Shengyuan quickly tried to smooth things over for Xu Jingzhi. “Uncle Xu, Jingzhi has always been like this. Didn’t you praise him for being brave and fearless?”
“Being rude is another matter. Can the fearless and brave ignore so many guests?”
Xu Jingzhi turned his head and looked at all the guests. Aren’t they just some old men? The only thing that surprised him was Huo Jiuxiao. After all, he knew about Huo Shengyuan’s situation in the Huo Family. His status had always been threatened by this marriage. It was rumored that this marriage’s child was “doing all kinds of evil” outside, so in Xu Jingzhi’s opinion, Huo Jiuxiao should be a vicious person.
However, looking at his face now, he was actually so handsome. His appearance was really too outstanding, and he actually did not have any evil
aura.
Master Xiao allowed him to size him up, but the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his chin was slightly raised. Coupled with the advantage of his height, that oppressive aura was undoubtedly revealed. This was an invisible contest between males. A person’s vision, ability, and extraordinary nobility would naturally put the other party at a disadvantage, making him feel inferior.
He was very powerful.
This was the first impression Xu Jingzhi had of Huo Jiuxiao after seeing him. That kind of power was not in any aspect. It was more like a suppression in all aspects. Because of the dangerous aura Huo Jiuxiao was exuding, he knew that this man was like an ink pool and the deep sea. He couldn’t be provoked. More importantly, his eyes seemed like they would be pierced if he looked at them for another second.
It was because he realized how powerful Huo Jiuxiao was that he stood up for Huo Shengyuan. “Old man, you’re really interesting. Brother Shengyuan has been by your side for so many years, but he still can’t get any sincerity from you?”
“Jingzhi, don’t talk nonsense. It’s rare for you to come back. Don’t make your Dad unhappy.” Huo Shengyuan advised seriously.
“Did I say anything wrong? Ah, that’s right. He can be so frustrated with his own son, so why would he care about how much other people’s children have sacrificed?” Xu Jingzhi sneered. “From the beginning to the end, he only had his reputation, his status, and his rise. Am I right?” Department Head Xu!”
Xu Chonglou took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, as if reminding himself to calm down. Mother Xu, on the other hand, couldn’t help but speak up for her husband. “No matter what, this is your father. You can’t talk to him like that.”
“Wouldn’t it be better for the two of you to pretend that you never gave birth to me?”
Mother Xu was so angry that she turned around and left. Xu Chonglou immediately signaled Lin Wanli, hoping that she would follow and take a look.
After Lin Wanli caught up with her, Xu Chonglou said, “No matter how much you hate me, your mother suffered from an amniotic fluid embolism when she gave birth to you. She had a narrow escape. You’re inhuman.”
With that, Xu Chonglou left with his old friends.
“Do you have to talk to your father like that?” Huo Shengyuan finally persuaded Xu Jingzhi.
“I’m still complaining for you. Aren’t you good enough to him? You had taken care of him like he was your biological father, but what happened in the end? Now, he even brought the Huo Family’s legitimate son here. What did he mean by that? Give you a show of strength?” Xu Jingzhi said indignantly, “His heart will always be filled with his power.”
At this moment, Mu Qingya regained her rationality and said to Xu Jingzhi, “The woman who followed your mother just now is Huo Jiuxiao’s wife. She has only been here for a morning, but she has already won your mother’s trust. She is very eloquent. If you don’t go up and take a look, I’m afraid that Auntie will eventually be deceived by her.”
“Preposterous!” Xu Jingzhi was hot-blooded and soft-hearted. A grudge between him and his father when he was young had caused the father and son to be at odds for many years. The knot in their hearts had not been resolved..
