Chapter 820: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (7)
Cao Yunxian was unable to speak of her suffering. When she looked at the ground again, she saw nothing. However, she had clearly knelt down without hesitation due to excruciating pain just now. Someone had hit her knee. Her heart was about to explode from fury.
Sixth Brother must have done it. Only a sc.u.mbag like him would dare to do that!
She had actually knelt down to a little b*stard?
If word got out, where would her dignity go?
On the other end, Huo Xiao had already been persuaded to stop by Su Xiyin. Her original intention was to question them properly and let them know that Sheng Sheng was her bottom line. If anyone dared to touch Sheng Sheng, they could not blame her for turning hostile.
Huo Pei’s whole body hurt. The Old Master was old, but his strength had not diminished. He clarified again, “Father, Sixth Brother, I really took the wrong bracelet by accident. Father, if you still don’t believe me, you can beat me to death!”
“Fifth Brother, be careful next time. If you take the wrong thing again, be careful of Father truly beating you to death.” Huo Ci gave him a fake smile.
He had come to cause trouble to make an example of them for others. To warn them to behave themselves. If they dared to play dirty tricks behind their backs, they would see who would kill who first.
Cao Yunxian had also kept speaking well of herself, begging for forgiveness and saying that she had not done it on purpose. She just liked this kind of antique jewelry box. She used this kind of box for all her jewelry at home, and she had even asked her to look at it.
“The two of you better mind yourself in the future. If I find out that you’re targeting my dear granddaughter again, you guys can get out of the Huo Family. My Huo residence is not a place for you to fight for power and wage fratricidal war.” Huo Xiao’s face was ashen.
Huo Pei and his wife looked terrified. Upon hearing the Old Master’s ruthless words, they hurried over to promise that they would not do it again. If they did anything wrong again, he would not have to chase them away. They would get lost themselves.
Ever since that incident with Second Brother, the Old Master had come to abhor this kind of thing. Hence, they did not dare do anything behind his back either. Otherwise, being kicked out of the Huo Family would be a small matter. When the Old Master got enraged, he could beat someone to death. Second Brother’s legs were a living example.
When Huo Ci and his family left, Huo Pei closed the door. Then, he punched the wall angrily, his eyes dark and ruthless. “Is the old man possessed? He’s actually so concerned about a b*stard.”
When Cao Yunxian thought of Ling Sheng, her eyes turned sinister. “Hubby, what should we do next? The Old Master loves and protects her like the apple of his eye. I’m afraid that his next step will be to give her the whole Huo house to make her happy.”
“Don’t act rashly again during the next few days she’s staying at home. I don’t believe the old man can protect her forever. She can’t stay at the Huo residence forever.” Huo Pei had not expected that after scheming for decades, he would be ruined by a little b*stard.
If his father really left all his family a.s.sets to that little b*stard, regardless of his other perfectly justified biological sons, he could not be blamed for not showing mercy.
“Do you want me to tell Fourth Sister-in-law?” Cao Yunxian’s eyes were full of slyness. Fourth Sister-in-law was the most brainless person. If she found out about this, who knew how she would kick up a fuss!
“Let her know. Didn’t Feifei say she would be back tomorrow?” Huo Pei laughed sinisterly. It would be good to get Fourth Sister-in-law, that stupid woman to attract the Old Master’s attention.
Ever since the Old Master brought that little b*stard back, things were destined to no longer be peaceful at home. It was just a matter of who would make the first move.
Ling Sheng had not expected to receive such a big gift on her first day at the Huo residence either. It seemed like none of the Huo family members welcomed her.
