Chapter 429: Useless
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, yes, yes. I heard about it too. Didn’t the Huo Corporation donate that piece of land? It’s a big corporation after all. They donated that piece of land just like that.”
“Do you think they’re willing to do that? They were forced to do that. I have a distant relative who happened to be in charge of that piece of land. I heard that it was because that piece of land was previously handled by Young Master Huo. He didn’t have anyone inspect it beforehand and he bid for it just like that. When the earthworks commenced, they found something underneath.”
“Coincidentally, when this Young Master Huo brought a girl to look for Miss Su, it was exposed by the media. The Huo Corporation’s reputation was damaged, and their stocks kept plummeting, so they had no choice but to donate that piece of land to redeem their reputation.”
“I know about that too. Do you think the young master of the Huo family has a screw loose in his head? Back then, he caused such a huge commotion when Miss Su broke off the engagement. Anyone with eyes could see that they were in the wrong. He even dared to bring that mistress to look for Miss Su so openly. Looks like he really doesn’t think that he’s in the wrong.”
These people were just listening and did not know the details. Otherwise, they would not have failed to recognize that the person sitting before them was one of the main characters in their conversation.
One of the women said with a dark face, “Which one of these stinky men thinks that it’s wrong for them to abandon their wives and go out to find a woman? It’s just that he happened to run into that piece of land. Otherwise, he would have escaped completely unscathed. If you ask me, this Young Master Huo deserves to be kicked out of the Huo Corporation. Not only is he incompetent, but his character is also terrible. If the Huo Corporation really falls into his hands, I’m afraid it will be the end.”
Perhaps they wanted to use the Huo family as a stumbling block, or perhaps the Huo family’s reputation and social relations in the industry were too poor, so they spared no effort in criticizing them.
Su Yayan was gloating as she listened. The other ladies looked at each other and understood what was going on.
The lady’s younger sister had married a man who had a handsome appearance. Before she married, she had thought that he was a good man, but after she married, he revealed his true nature.
The lady’s parents were conservative people. They felt that it would be difficult for their daughter to find another match after a divorce, so they kept stopping her sister from getting a divorce.
Her sister had been tortured for a few years. Two years ago, she could not take it anymore, so she castrated her husband and committed suicide.
With such a record, it was normal that she did not have a good impression of Huo Shaofeng. After all, most people would only feel pain when they or the people they cared about were on the receiving end of the blows.
“Now that they’ve kicked out their heir, I’m afraid the Huo Corporation is about to end.”
“That might not be the case. Perhaps that Mrs. Huo can give birth to a young master for the Huo family in her golden years.”
“Hahahaha…” When someone said that, the few of them could not help but laugh.
Actually, they knew that instead of placing their hopes on Mrs. Huo, they would rather hope that Huo Qihan would find another woman to give birth to his son.
Even so, there were still people who did not think highly of this family.
“Actually, the Huo family has been going downhill ever since it was handed over to the current person-in-charge.”
“Isn’t that right? When Chairman Huo was still around, the Huo Corporation…”
They all shook their heads in unison, their eyes filled with regret.
“What a pity. If nothing had happened to the young master of the Huo family back then, the current Huo family might have been a different story..”
