Chapter 858: Why Are You Crying?
“Fifth Sister-in-law, you’re wrong about that. Everyone knows that Sixth Brother is allergic to fur. He can’t raise such things,” Ye Ru covered her mouth and smiled. “Sixth Brother, don’t worry about it. Get the servants to throw it in the trash can later. It’s just a beast[1] after all.”
“That’s right. If Sixth Brother gets an allergic reaction because of this, it’ll be our fault as his sisters-in-law!” Xiao Hui was already seething about what had happened last night and in the morning. She had finally caught an opportunity to seek revenge.
An illegitimate daughter with a little b*stard! He should take a look at himself as well! How dare he look down on them? Who should look down on whom?!
Huo Ci really wanted to tear their cheap mouths apart. They could not be considered humans. Even if it was a dog, they should have feelings for it after being raised for so long!
“Grandpa, Grandpa…” Xiaoqi was still crying, and his voice was already hoa.r.s.e. He tugged at his hand and turned to look at the dog. “Let’s save it!” ”
Huo Ci frowned, not wanting to respond. However, when he saw the little fella cry so sadly, his heart softened. In a cold voice, he said, “Wait a while.”
Cao Yunxian and the others had not expected this arrogant and eccentric man, who would not blink even if someone died in front of him, to turn around and carry the dog.
That’s right.
He took off his coat and placed the dog carefully on it before carrying it.
Forget about the fur allergy. He had always had severe mysophobia. If anyone in his family touched his things, he would not give them any face and throw them away directly.
While carrying the dog, Huo Ci looked at Xiaoqi. In a low voice, he said, “Don’t cry. Wipe your tears.”
Xiaoqi wiped his tears hurriedly and looked at Grandpa. He nodded hard. “Xiaoqi, won’t cry. Grandpa, let’s go and save it. It won’t die, right?”
Huo Ci grunted. If it died, the brat would be traumatized for the rest of his life. It was kicked down from the second floor. He had taken a look. Its injury was a little serious, but it should not die.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled casually. “Let me warn you people again. Ling Sheng is my daughter, my biological daughter. She didn’t appear out of nowhere. If anyone dares to say another word, don’t blame me for being rude to you. As for Xiaoqi’s father, you don’t deserve to know who he is.”
“Really? We don’t deserve to know? Is he someone from heaven?” Zhang Yuechan covered her mouth and laughed as though she had heard a joke.
“Does Xiaoqi have a father? Didn’t Sheng Sheng say that he was dead?” Ye Ru also pretended to be shocked. Who was he trying to scare? Did he think they were easily frightened?
“Sixth Brother, don’t go. Call Xiaoqi’s father over. I think it’s not just us. Father and Mother want to know who he is too, right?” Cao Yunxian smiled coldly. Really, a dog would dare to spout any harsh words when forced into a corner.
If the little b*stard’s father was a reputable person, would that illegitimate daughter keep it under wraps? Would he not say it himself?
Huo Ci paused for a moment before saying what they wanted him to say. “Father likes my daughter a lot. Let me give you people a piece of advice. Don’t be happy too soon. Perhaps when Father is happy, he will give the whole Huo Family to her.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrogant women on the second floor lost all color in their faces. In fact, their faces contorted hideously for a moment as they shot daggers at him with their vicious gazes.
“You guys know that I’m a lunatic. Don’t anger me,” Huo Ci’s smile became increasingly mocking and dangerous before he left.
Wasn’t this the answer they had tried so hard scheming to hear from him?
He had said that he did not want a single cent of the Huo Family’s a.s.sets, but he regretted it now. At this exact moment, he regretted it.
He decided that he must definitely let the brat take what belonged to him.
Or perhaps he could s.n.a.t.c.h the whole Huo Family over for the little brat to play with. Thinking about their expressions then, he felt that it would definitely be very interesting.
As soon as Huo Ci went out, the men who had been hiding in their rooms ran out quickly. Their expressions were brilliant.
Cao Yunxian’s face contorted in anger. He had finally admitted it! Huo Ci had finally revealed his motive! She knew that he had not given up. He had brought his illegitimate daughter and that little b*stard back to fight for the family a.s.sets!
However, this was not the answer she wanted. She had initially thought that with Huo Ci’s pride, he would say that he disdained the Huo Family’s a.s.sets in public. And that even the little b*stard he had brought back would not want about the Huo Family’s a.s.sets either.
Xiao Hui had not expected this to happen either. Not only had they not made Huo Ci yield, but they had also completely infuriated him because of a dog!
Zhang Yuechan was the angriest. Her face was ashen as she gripped the railing tightly, her chest heaving violently. Was the war about to start officially?
Jiang Meiyun had not said a word from the start to the end. She did not help either side. She was not that worried about the issue of the a.s.sets. After all, as the family of the eldest son, they would not lose anything they should receive.
Besides, she had a good son. Her son could earn money, unlike them, who only relied on the family a.s.sets to survive.
However, Fifth Brother’s family had really tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Sixth Brother was completely infuriated by them. He was about to start a war with them. Let’s see how they would deal with this.
While the elders were about to start a war, the juniors were very sensible and did not appear. Only when everyone in the several branches returned to their rooms did they come out to take a look.
Su Xiyin had been listening the whole time, but she did not exit her room. Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, she also made up her mind. They had gone too far in bullying others!
The Huo Family’s a.s.sets belonged to both the husband and wife. She was the most lawful heir to the inheritance. She should have at least half of it!
In the past, she did not compete with them, and Ci Er did not have to rely on this bit of money in the house. However, now, the group of them had bullied their family so outrageously because of this small issue.
She had a temper too. If she did not teach them a lesson, they would really not know their worth!
Huo Xiao was in a deep sleep. The house was soundproofed well, so he had not heard anything. When he woke up, he saw his wife sitting beside him and looking at him lovingly. He smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? You ‘re looking at me like you’ve never seen me?”
Su Xiyin asked, “Can I go back on my word now?”
Huo Xiao was confused. “What?”
Su Xiyin said, “Haven’t you always said that half of the Huo Family’s a.s.sets are mine?”
Huo Xiao said, “Half is nothing. I’ll give you everything.”
Su Xiyin said, “I don’t want all of it. I want half. The half that belongs to me. I won’t give it to Ci’er either. I’ll leave it to Sheng Sheng. She’s a girl. It’s better if she owns more money. I’ll give it all to her as her dowry.”
Huo Xiao smiled and nodded. “Okay, whatever you say. Let Sheng Sheng have it.”
Ling Sheng hung up on Sister Mei and walked toward the main residence. However, before she reached the place, she met her father and Xiaoqi. She was shocked and ran over hurriedly. “Father, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
