Chapter 970: You Are Too Greedy
Mrs. Huo’s impulsive declaration of divorce was declared dead because of the arrival of the child, which also calmed her hot-headed mind.
She felt that she could not just sit there and do nothing. Even if it was not for herself, she had to think of something for the child in her belly.
It was also from then on that Mrs. Huo began to have frequent conflicts with Huo Chenhuan’s mother.
Every time there was a conflict, Huo Chenhuan’s father would take his wife and youngest son out to stay for a few days, leaving Huo Qihan to comfort and educate his wife.
Unexpectedly, their departure gave Mrs. Huo an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Mrs. Huo began to brainwash Huo Qihan, saying all kinds of bad things about Huo Chenhuan and his family.
At first, Huo Qihan would scold her when he heard her say these things, but after hearing it more often, he could not help but feel uncomfortable with the three of them.
Huo Chenhuan was growing up, and his appearance was becoming more and more similar to the husband and wife. It was almost as if he was growing according to their strengths.
When he was young, the people around him only thought that he was cute. When he was a little older, everyone’s attention started to wander.
Huo Qihan had heard people praise Huo Chenhuan’s good looks at parties more than once. He even asked indirectly if Huo Chenhuan already had someone he liked.
If he did not, there were girls in his family who were around the same age as Huo Chenhuan. They could set up a time to meet and familiarize themselves with each other.
...
After that, Huo Chenhuan grew older. The Huo couple would occasionally bring him along when they attended banquets.
Some people thought that the two loved their youngest son more, so they began to flatter Huo Chenhuan openly to get on the Huo family’s big boat. They even compared him to Huo Qihan.
They said that Huo Qihan’s eldest son was already so outstanding, and Huo Chenhuan’s youngest son was even better than his. The Huo family was really lucky.
Although they knew that most of these words were just compliments, they still hurt Huo Qihan’s ears.
However, these words only made Huo Qihan unhappy. What really made him explode with killing intent toward the three Huo family members was… another thing.
“No one denied your hard work. You were the one who went overboard.”
“That’s easy for you to say. You’ve never stood on my side and experienced everything I’ve experienced. Of course, you can say that easily. When everyone denies you, everyone who was on your side decisively abandoned you the moment they had a better choice, and everything that originally belonged to you disappeared overnight, would you not go overboard? Will you think that all of this doesn’t matter?”
Huo Chenhuan listened to Huo Qihan’s eloquent complaints. He did not feel sorry for him at all. Instead, he felt that he was not worthy of his parents.
“You are complaining that they gave birth to a child to fight with you for the family a.s.sets. You are complaining that my birth took away a part of your attention. You never thought that everything that you have was originally given to you by them. They never mistreated you, nor did they think of abandoning you. Even their love for you never decreased because of me. It was you who was too greedy and wanted everything. You only wanted to ask for things, but you weren’t willing to give anything. Even I never thought of fighting with you…
“Do you still need to fight? Your existence itself is the greatest threat to me. It was your appearance that shattered my dreams and the balance of our family. If it weren’t for you, our family would still be fine. I would be their only son, and I would also be the child they’re the proudest of.”
