Chapter 276 Press Conference
With Xia Luobing back, all the bad things seemed to have come to an end. After dinner, Xia Luobing and Duo Duo were playing games.
Huo Yunqi and Liu Yan were chatting in the living room.
“Mom, no matter what, Feng Shuo is still my father’s son.” Huo Yunqi said slowly, “Try to accept him as well.”
She thought that Feng Shuo’s existence was a constant reminder of the fact that Liu Yan and Huo Zhengxiong had cheated, so she had been unable to accept his existence for so many years.
But now, after so many things, Huo Yunqi hoped that things would be resolved perfectly.
“Yunqi.” Liu Yan paused and said faintly, “Your father has pa.s.sed away for so many years, what else can I not let go of?”
Huo Yunqi was surprised by Liu Yan’s att.i.tude. He was already prepared to be rejected.
“I’ve decided to leave the company to Feng Shuo.” Huo Yunqi continued. Seeing Liu Yan’s surprised expression, he continued, “He said that he wants to change the company into the Huo Corporation.”
This feud that had lasted from the previous generation was finally coming to an end.
“You’ve decided.” Liu Yan said slowly with a rare look of affection on her face. “That child hasn’t married for so many years. He’s all alone. Let him move back home.”
Just now, Huo Yunqi had already made Feng Shuo’s current att.i.tude very clear, and Liu Yan immediately understood.
“Alright.” Huo Yunqi grabbed Liu Yan’s bolt and said seriously, “Mom, thank you.”
Everything was moving in a good direction. At this moment, a shocking piece of news came out from City A. Feng Shuo was not Huo Zhengxiong’s son at all.
“This, what exactly is going on?” Seeing the news, Liu Yan’s entire body trembled. She had already decided to accept him. Why did such a thing suddenly break out?
This was even more of a slap to the Huo Clan’s face than the explosion of Huo Zhengxiong raising an illegitimate child back then.
“Mom, Feng Shuo is father’s son.” Huo Yunqi grabbed Liu Yan’s hand and said in a deep voice, “Now that someone wants to use this matter to provoke us into repairing our relationship with great difficulty, treat him like Huo Yunxi and me.”
Liu Yan’s eyes flashed. She suddenly grabbed the bag on the sofa and hurriedly walked out. As she walked, she said, “Have the driver prepare a car for me.”
“Where are you going?” Huo Yunqi chased after Liu Yan and blocked her path.
Liu Yan’s state of mind had calmed down a lot during this period of time, but he was really worried that she would run to find trouble with Feng Shuo.
“I’ll go check on Feng Shuo.” Liu Yan gritted her teeth angrily, “That child might not feel so bad right now!”
Huo Yunqi was stunned for a moment before nodding his head in understanding, “I’ll have someone send you over immediately.”
Liu Yan was one such person. When she did not admit that Xia Luobing was making things difficult, she would treat them as family once she accepted them from the bottom of her heart.
This was true for Charlotte and also for Feng Shuo.
In Feng Shuo’s villa, he sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He was actually not Huo Zhengxiong’s son?!
If everything was a big scheme, then who was he?
After all these years, what was his retaliation against the Huo Clan?
There were many reporters outside, all looking for him to find the truth, but who would tell him what the truth was?
“Mom, whose son am I?” He pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the courtyard. The reporters at the entrance had been denied permission to leave since morning.
He furrowed his brows tightly, feeling that this was probably the punishment he was given. He had done so many bad things, so he was not worthy of having family and friends.
“Feng Shuo is a child of the Huo Clan.” Liu Yan pushed aside the oppressive reporters and stood in the middle of the crowd and said loudly, “Our Huo Clan will pursue to the end those who maliciously slander Feng Shuo’s reputation.”
A reporter suddenly shouted, “Who are you? Why are you speaking for Feng Shuo?”
“Yeah, are you a nurse that Feng Shuo paid for?”
“Hurry up and leave! We need the truth from Feng Shuo!”
The crowd started to surge unsteadily. Someone was rushing towards Liu Yan. At this time, a car stopped and a dozen bodyguards pushed away the crowd to protect Liu Yan.
“I am Huo Huo Yunqi and Feng Shuo’s mother.” Liu Yan was so angry that her face turned ashen. She pointed at them with her finger and gritted her teeth. “If you slander my son like this, our Huo Clan will pursue it to the end. We will also use legal means to get justice for the newspaper that was spouting nonsense in the newspapers.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was completely silent.
Huo Zhengxiong’s wife had already acknowledged Feng Shuo’s ident.i.ty, so what was the point of their dispute here?
“Are you Huo Zhengxiong’s wife?” Someone asked weakly, seemingly unable to believe it.
Liu Yan snorted coldly and took out her ID card from her bag and handed it to the bodyguard beside her. “Show it to them. I want to go in and see my son.”
When she was young, she had accompanied Huo Zhengxiong in running his business. She had both brains and wrists, immediately suppressing the riots.
Standing in the living room, Feng Shuo could clearly see the scene outside through the video. Listening to Liu Yan protecting him, complex emotions flashed in his eyes and his heart was in a mess.
He had never thought that Liu Yan would protect him like this.
She didn’t expect that she would directly jump out to see her when such a thing broke out.
“Child.” Liu Yan pushed open the door. Seeing Feng Shuo’s tired expression, she sighed and walked over. She sat down on the sofa beside him and said, “Are you alright?”
Feng Shuo’s eyes flashed, “Thank you, I’ll figure it out.”
“You are a child of the Huo Clan.” Liu Yan patted his hand and looked at a certain point on the coffee table. She thought back to many years ago, “Your mother is very beautiful and principled. She also loves your father very much.”
The living room was very quiet, only Liu Yan’s slow voice.
After a while, Feng Shuo said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Why are you telling me this?”
“Your parents have both pa.s.sed away. What else do I care about?” Liu Yan sighed. “Actually, I’ve always known that the grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. I’m sorry, but I’ve always been hard on you.”
During this period of time, she had been close to death several times, and many things that she couldn’t let go of before could now be put aside.
Feng Shuo shook his head, “You didn’t make things difficult for me.”
To be fair, Liu Yan was not close to him during the time he returned to the Huo Clan, but she had never done anything to hurt him.
Judging from the position of the two of them, she has done very well.
“Then come home with me. It’s too lonely to live alone.” Liu Yan smiled affectionately and said, “Yunqi and Yunxi are both married and have children. Mom thinks you should have a family now.”
Mom?
Feng Shuo suddenly raised his head and saw the love in Liu Yan’s eyes. The ice in his heart melted bit by bit.
However, he still had one last question in his heart.
“How did my mother die?” Feng Shuo said in a trembling voice, his eyes staring at Liu Yan.
At that time, he was studying in another university. When he received the news and rushed back, his mother had already pa.s.sed away. Only after seeing the suicide note at his uncle’s house did he ruthlessly deal with the Huo family.
But now, he began to doubt the authenticity of his original decision and the suicide note.
“Your mother is a very strong person, so she has been bringing you along all these years.” Liu Yan pondered for a moment and said, giving her rival the fairest evaluation. “Later on, it seems that because your uncle owed a lot of money, she came to Zhengxiong because she had nowhere to go. For some reason, the reporters found out about it, so she just left without money.”
Feng Shuo’s eyes tightened, “What happened afterwards?”
“Later, news of her death came. Your uncle made a scene at the Huo Clan and asked for 200,000 yuan.” Liu Yan slowly said, “Later on, you will come back. Your father doesn’t want you to be affected, so he asks you to go abroad in exchange for a 5% stake in the company.”
Feng Shuo was very clear about what had happened after that. He came back from abroad to take revenge on the Huo Clan.
But now, he realized that everything was so ridiculous.
“You can investigate these things yourself.” Seeing that Feng Shuo had been silent, Liu Yan only pretended that he did not believe her words and slowly said, “But now, you should come back with me to the Huo Clan first. This is good for you.”
The recent rumors were so loud that Feng Shuo had already been pushed to the peak of the Phoenix Pavilion. It was not something she could change with just a few words.
“There’s no need to investigate.” Feng Shuo shook his head, “I believe you.”
His heart was too tired, he wanted to stop and rest, and also wanted to try to trust the people around him.
Liu Yan’s eyes turned red, “Good child.”
She had been worrying about it for a lifetime, and it was only now that she finally let go that she felt a little more relaxed.
Sunlight shone through the large French window. Feng Shuo and Liu Yan sat quietly in the living room. From today onwards, they were mother and son.
In response to this matter, Huo Yunqi held a press conference the first time Feng Shuo returned to the Huo family. Liu Yan and Huo Yunxi attended the press conference together.
“President Huo, what is your relationship with Feng Shuo?” A reporter stood up and asked, “What do you think of this matter?”
Huo Yunqi cleared his throat and said coldly, “I am Feng Shuo’s big brother. As for this matter, we will reserve the right to investigate the legal responsibility of the relevant personnel.”
“Is that really the case?” The reporter asked unwillingly, “Are you deliberately saying this to protect the Huo Clan’s reputation?”
Huo Yunqi’s gaze was like a sharp knife as he coldly looked over. Only after the reporter shrank his neck did he hand over a piece of paper to his a.s.sistant.
“Facts speak louder than words.” He said indifferently.
A few minutes later, a DNA test appeared on the big screen behind them, proving that Feng Shuo and Huo Yunqi were half-brothers.
“It’s actually true?!”
A reporter below the stage cried out in disbelief.
“Apart from that, I have another matter to announce.” Huo Yunqi coldly swept a glance and said indifferently, “QC and Feng Group merged and reorganized to become Huo Group, and Feng Shuo became the president of Huo Group.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was completely silent.
It took a long time for a reporter to say in disbelief, “His surname is Feng Buhuo.”
“It’s enough that he’s from the Huo Clan.” Liu Yan said with a firm att.i.tude, “He has the right to miss his mother, and we respect his right.”
Everyone from the Huo Clan had already finished filming the book, and there was also DNA testimony. The originally eager reporters had also settled down.
The press conference came to a successful conclusion, but the people hiding behind the scenes had not fully appeared.
“Big Brother, is Big Brother Feng Shuo moving in?” Huo Yunxi asked on the way back, “Can I move back as well?”
