Seeing Su Fei’s indignant and jealous expression, Huo Ge was happy. He got up and patted his slightly damp clothes. He happily took a shower before returning to the Huo Family.
When Old Madam Huo saw Huo Ge return, she looked at him unhappily and said, “Where did you go this time? You haven’t recovered yet, but you still run out every day.”
Huo Ge went forward and held Old Madam Huo’s hand affectionately. He said with a coquettish expression, “Grandma, didn’t you say that if I have anything I like, you’ll support me in fighting for it? I’ve taken a fancy to Lin Yin, so I went to fight for it and confess to her.”
Old Madam Huo pretended to be angry and immediately asked curiously,
“Really? Did that young lady agree?”
Huo Ge sighed and said, “No, she’s fierce. I was still thinking about how to interact with her. I’ve never seen such a fierce girl.”
Old Madam Huo looked at Huo Gel s defeated expression and couldn’t stop smiling. “She’s fierce? That’s good. Grandma likes girls who are fierce and direct. I just can’t stand girls that look weak on the surface but are actually full of evil tricks.”
As Old Madam Huo spoke, she glanced at Lin Rong and snorted coldly.
Lin Rong immediately lowered her head. Huo Huai, who was beside her, went forward with a headache and said, “Mom, Xiao Ge is fine now. Do you think you can let Xiao Bing out? Xiao Bing has been injured these few days. He’s not eating or living properly, and he didn’t receive good treatment. He even contracted a fever yesterday. If this continues, Xiao Bing will die.”
Lin Rong’s eyes instantly turned red, but she didn’t dare to cry in front of Old Madam Huo.
Old Madam Huo snorted. “If you don’t punish him more severely, he won’t remember. Xiao Ge is the legitimate grandson of the Huo Family. Who does he think he is to dare to attack Xiao Ge?”
Lin Rong immediately knelt down in front of Old Madam Huo and said sadly,
“Old Madam, that won’t happen. Xiao Bing won’t do anything to hurt Xiao Ge. Believe me, Xiao Bing really didn’t do such a thing. Old Madam, I beg you, can you spare Xiao Bing?”
“Are you still denying it? Other than you and your mother, who else in the entire Huo Family would harm Xiao Ge? I think you still haven’t thought it through. In that case, let Huo Bing be locked up for a while longer,” Old Madam Huo said coldly.
Lin Rong knew that her son did want to replace Huo Ge, but she knew very well that Huo Bing would not be so stupid as to attack in front of everyone.
Besides, she had asked Huo Bing carefully. Huo Bing said that he had never hurt Huo Ge. She was Huo Bing’s mother, so she could naturally tell if Huo Bing was telling the truth or not.
But the old lady’s current att.i.tude clearly meant she wanted her to admit this crime on behalf of Huo Bing.
However, once she admitted this crime on behalf of Huo Bing, Huo Bing would be charged with murdering Huo Ge. In the future, it would be even harder to get the elders of the Huo family to agree to Huo Ge inheriting Huo Huai’s a.s.sets.
The old lady clearly wanted to use this matter to cut off Huo Bing’s hopes of becoming the head of the Huo Family.
Lin Rong fell to the ground and did not speak for a long time.
Old Madam Huo snorted coldly and mocked, “Looks like you still haven’t thought it through. In that case, Huo Bing should stay for a while longer.”
“Old Madam!” Lin Rong looked up in panic. Her lips trembled as she compromised with tears falling. “Old Madam, I didn’t teach my son well as a mother. That’s why Huo Bing made such a huge mistake. It won’t happen again. I promise you. We really know our mistake. Old Madam, please let Huo
Bing go, okay?”
Lin Rong’s eyes were swollen and her face was pale.
Huo Huai looked at his wife and couldn’t bear it. He knelt beside Lin Rong and pleaded with Old Madam Huo, “Mom, take it that I’m begging you. Let Huo
Bing come out. If this continues, I’m going to lose one of my sons too. Mom!”
Old Madam Huo’s gaze was still cold as she looked at the scene in front of her. Then, she turned to Huo Ge and asked, “Xiao Ge, you decide. Should we let Huo Bing go?
Huo Ge Knew what the Old lady meant. He smiled and said, “Grandma, let mm go. We’re all family. Besides, I’m indeed much better now.”
Only then did the old lady relent. “Since Xiao Ge’s not pursuing the matter, forget it. Mingyu, get the people guarding outside the dungeon to retreat.”
Ming Yu nodded..
