Chapter 906: Take Responsibility for His Own Actions
He was a member of the Huo Family. Since this had happened to the Su Family, he naturally had to give them an explanation. Even if he wanted to show mercy, this sc.u.mbag had to cooperate with him!
“Sixth Uncle, Grandpa, all the uncles present.” Huo Xuanzhou still looked as though he did not care. There was even a smile on his lips. “I already said that this is my first time coming to the Su residence. I just wanted to walk around casually. Who knew that I would coincidentally walk to the place where the dog was kept?”
Huo Ci frowned and stopped what he was doing. He looked down at him loftily. “What’s with the scarf?”
Huo Xuanzhou sighed. “I came out to walk around in the morning. I thought it was cold, so I took a random red scarf and wrapped it around myself to keep myself warm. How would I know that there was even a dog which will go crazy when it sees red? Is the dog raised in this house a bull, for bullfighting?”
As he spoke, not only did he sound like he did not care, but he even started joking.
Upon seeing his behavior, Huo Xiao got angry. He saw that his third brother, Su Cunli, was about to lose his cool, but since he was a child from his family, he reprimanded him. He pointed at him and gritted his teeth, “Are you saying that everything was a coincidence? Of all times to wear a scarf, why did you put on a scarf at this time?”
What scarf?
He usually did not see him wearing a scarf either, but he had remembered it so coincidentally today?
“Grandpa, you guys asked me what happened, so I told you the truth, but you didn’t believe me again. What do you people want me to do?” Huo Xuanzhou did not dare say that they wanted to go to heaven, fearing that he would be whipped to death straight away.
“You…” Huo Xiao’s face was ashen from anger. He stepped forward immediately and s.n.a.t.c.hed the whip from Huo Ci’s hand, raising his hand to hit him.
“Brother-in-law.” Su Cunli had not spoken the whole time. At this moment, he really could not rein in his anger anymore. He called out to Huo Xiao. “Wait, I have something to ask him.”
Huo Xiao just felt embarra.s.sed. The Huo Family’s face had been thrown to the Su Family because of this sc.u.mbag. The few older brothers of the Su Family were still biased against him even now. He had raised his grandson to such a state that he felt ashamed to see others himself.
The Su Family were people who had to be convinced with reason. This was the first time they had seen someone hit a person who was only suspected but not declared guilty.
Su Cunli also wanted to save some face for the Huo Family. After all, they were all relatives, and this was the first time they had visited. He could not hit someone without knowing the reason. The Su Family did not have such a simple and crude rule. Only the Huo Family had this rule. He looked at Huo Xuanzhou, who was kneeling in front of him. “You’re saying you’re innocent? Everything was a coincidence?”
Huo Xuanzhou smiled nonchalantly and nodded. “Third Uncle is an understanding person. It’s just a coincidence. I didn’t know that the dogs of our Su Family are fighting bulls.”
Su Cunli was angered by his words. The same sort of seniors produced the same kind of juniors. The genes of the Huo Family were really admirable. “Did you get someone to ask about the Su Family and Yan Er?”
Huo Xuanzhou would not deny it. “Yes.”
Su Cunli asked, “Why do you want to know about the Su Family?”
Huo Xuanzhou straightened his back, and his expression finally became serious. “Third Uncle, to be honest, I fell in love with your daughter at first sight. I really want to woo her.”
A ball of raging fury choked Su Cunli in the chest. He really dared to say it! He really dared to say that in front of so many people! How impressive. The people from the Huo Family were really impressive!
The others also sucked in a breath of cold air immediately afterward. How could they have expected Huo Xuanzhou, that sc.u.mbag, to be so outspoken about his vile thoughts!
However, approval grew in Huo Ci. No matter what, his courage was commendable. To be honest, not hiding it at all was the Huo Family’s style!
However, since he had done his homework in advance, didn’t he know that everyone in the Su Family had a daughter complex and was extremely protective too? Wasn’t he afraid of being beaten to death?
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao trembled in anger. He looked at Su Cunli and said, “Third Brother, don’t listen to this sc.u.mbag’s nonsense. He doesn’t know what liking someone means. He’s just…”
Su Cunshi was so angry that he laughed. His cold eyes swept over him. “He’s just playing around, right? Brother-in-law, you should control your grandson well!”
He should take a look at himself. What kind of reputation did he have? How dare he covet the precious daughter of his Su Family? What an ignorant fool!
“Uncle, this is my personal matter. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. It has nothing to do with my grandparents or Sixth Uncle at all. They didn’t even know why I came here.” Huo Xuanzhou had always known that his grandpa would not be able to leave the Su Family anyway. He only knew that it was true after seeing it with his own eyes. He looked at Su Cunshi and the others. “Besides, I don’t think liking someone and saying it aloud is a shameful thing.”
The Su Family all had daughter complexes. Su Yan’s marriage was naturally of utmost importance. It was not that all of them had to approve of her future man, but a notorious playboy like Huo Xuanzhou was definitely out of the question!
When Su Xiyin saw Huo Xuanzhou, she felt as though she had seen herself in the past. Her brothers, sisters-in-law, and parents had objected, so she had also insisted on her own perspective without hesitation.
However, was he really sincere about Yan Er? She had watched him grow up. He had been fooling around for so many years, and he had vowed to her every single time that it was true love. That she was the last one. Every girl he had dated was the last one. They were all his true love.
However, a person’s heart was only that big. How could it contain so many ‘true loves’? She knew that he had not fallen in love with any of them before. She was not sure if it was real this time or if it was still the same as before. It was just three minutes of pa.s.sion[1].
The Su Family members were quite p.i.s.sed. They had never seen someone so thick-skinned before, who dared to say anything. He had no qualms about it. Upon hearing him say that, they did not even know how to ask him.
Huo Ci was already watching the show now. Ah Zhou, this fellow, was impressive. Even he did not dare be so arrogant in front of his uncles!
“He’s a member of your Huo Family. You people can ask him yourself!” Su Cunshi was so angry that his blood was boiling. He really wanted to kick him out straight away! Sometimes, a simple and crude method was the best to take on second thought!
Su Cunli and the others had lived for more than half of their lifetimes and had seen all kinds of people. However, this was the first time they had encountered someone like him.
They did not have the habit of quarreling with others who would come up with a lot of twisted reasons and spoke so self-righteously too! They would be angered to death if they spoke to him!
As a member of the Huo Family, when he saw that his uncles were all angered by him, Huo Ci took over the interrogation. “You said it was a coincidence. Do you have evidence?”
Huo Xuanzhou said, “I’m speaking the truth in my name. If I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it.”
Huo Ci smiled. “Do you think anyone will believe you?”
“Grandpa, Grandma, Granduncle, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law, are you willing to believe me?” Huo Xuanzhou looked at them and asked.
