Chapter 204 Huo Yubai can only marry into another family.
Chapter 204 He, Huo Yubai, could only marry into the family.
"What does Madam Mo want to say?" I asked with a smile.
Madam Mo thought I couldn't understand the deeper meaning in her words: "You should know that with your mother like this and you having no powerful backing, you can't marry into the Huo family."
I scoffed: "Who said I had to marry into the Huo family? Huo Yubai can only be a live-in son-in-law."
"What did you say?" Old Madam Mo glared at me.
“I told him that if he wanted to marry me, he would have to become an adopted son-in-law,” I said with a smile.
"Hehe." Old Madam Mo seemed to be amused by me: "You really dare to think that way, to let him marry into the family. I think you're crazy."
“I’m not crazy. I’m an only child. I’ll only accept a son-in-law marrying into the family.” My eyes were cold. “Madam Mo, you can take this to the Huo family. If they can persuade Huo Yubai, I certainly won’t force him.”
"Shen Yan, Huo Yubai almost lost his life trying to get into the Huo family. You're making him marry into the family; don't you feel any pity for him?" Old Madam Mo said sarcastically.
"I think it's more important for people to take care of themselves first." I said, hands behind my back, "People's hearts are unpredictable. What do you gain from taking care of others?"
Madam Mo said with displeasure, "You are so selfish!"
"Madam Mo said I'm selfish, but aren't your words and actions also satisfying your own selfish desires? What right do you have to criticize me?" I narrowed my eyes: "Madam Mo is in good health and will live to be a hundred years old. Don't come to the hospital for treatment anymore. Even if you do come, don't bother me. Be careful, or I might find a chance to kill you."
Madam Mo's face turned green instantly.
I gave a cold laugh and walked out of the ward.
-
noon.
Huo Yubai was summoned back to the old house by Old Master Huo.
Old Master Huo sat in the ancestral hall, holding a rattan cane in his hand.
"Kneel down!" His eyes were sharp and piercing.
Huo Yubai knelt down.
"Swear to me before our ancestors that you will never marry into the Shen family in this lifetime!" Old Master Huo's face was stern, every wrinkle revealing his deep displeasure.
Huo Yubai raised his head: "With our ancestors above, I, Huo Yubai, guarantee that the Huo family will flourish and its descendants will continue. The continuation of the Huo family bloodline is the most important thing. No matter what his surname is, as long as he has the blood of the Huo family in his body, he is a member of the Huo family."
afraid!
Old Master Huo raised a rattan cane and struck Huo Yubai.
He used a lot of strength.
Huo Yubai's body trembled slightly, and he bent over as if he was about to cough up blood.
"Huo Yubai, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kick you out of the Huo family?" Old Master Huo was furious.
"Grandpa, you dare? I know what you're trying to say." Huo Yubai's eyes were clouded with understanding: "Compared to the Huo family, she is still more important."
"You!" Old Master Huo slapped him hard again.
Huo Yubai's mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
He forced himself to speak: "Shen Yan is my life, Grandpa. I will never give up on her, even if it means my death."
"You almost lost your life for the Huo family, and I can't believe you don't appreciate it at all!" Old Master Huo was furious.
Huo Yubai said self-deprecatingly, "Grandpa, I almost lost my life for the Huo family. Wasn't that arranged by you?"
Mr. Huo: "..."
"You could have just handed the company over to me, but to teach me a lesson, you've created enemies for me instead." Huo Yubai sneered, "I don't understand."
"If it weren't for me protecting you all these years, you would have been finished long ago." Old Master Huo said angrily, "Now you're willing to do anything for a woman, Huo Yubai, how can you face yourself and how can you face me?"
"Grandpa, I was abandoned from the start, have you forgotten?" Huo Yubai's handsome and noble face was as pale as paper.
"Fine, since you've put it that way, I'd like to see if that woman still wants you after the Huo family is gone!" Old Master Huo was furious.
At that moment, Huo Fei ran in.
He could tell that Huo Yubai was about to die.
"Grandpa, calm down," Huo Fei soothed. "You know Yu Bai's temper; he only responds to gentle persuasion, not force."
"You don't need to say anything more." Old Master Huo interrupted Huo Fei: "You help me spread the word that, effective immediately, Huo Yubai is removed from his position as president of the Huo Group, all properties under his name are confiscated, and not a single penny of what the Huo family gave him is left for him!"
"The old man wouldn't go that far, would he?" Huo Fei worried. "The child is just being immature. A beating will calm him down, and then he can be comforted."
"No need to persuade me." Huo Yubai stood up: "I will not give up on Shen Yan again. I let her down once, but I won't do it again this time."
"Yu Bai, don't act rashly, this matter can be discussed!" Huo Fei said anxiously.
“Shen Yan wouldn’t have said that for no reason.” Huo Yubai sneered, “Grandpa, I should thank you. Without the title of president of Huo Group, the Mo family won’t bother me anymore, right?”
Old Master Huo remained silent.
“I know you’re afraid I’ll die young, so you’ve been planning to bring your illegitimate child back. Now you can bring him home openly.” Huo Yubai glanced at Old Master Huo and turned to leave.
Huo Fei followed him out: "Are you alright?"
cough!
Huo Yubai coughed up a mouthful of blood: "It's nothing."
"You went too far." Huo Fei's eyes were red.
He sometimes treated Huo Yubai like his own son.
"I'm used to it." Huo Yubai said calmly: "I was beaten by my own mother when I was a child, bullied by older children when I was older, and punished by family discipline when I grew up. I think it's a miracle that I'm still alive."
“The old man will definitely beg you to go back; that little kid is so young,” Huo Fei said.
"That illegitimate child isn't important," Huo Yubai said indifferently. "The main thing is that person wants to regain his position."
"You mean your biological father?" Huo Fei frowned. "He wasn't even a little sad about Huo Changzhou's death."
"What he has in abundance is sons," Huo Yubai mocked. "Back then, he got together with my mother just because she was pregnant with twins, so he could have another person to help him fight for the family fortune?"
"Back then, the old man was on his deathbed. He said that the more children a child had, the more inheritance he would receive, and that's when he acknowledged your mother's existence. Unfortunately, Huo Changzhou's mother caused a huge scene, and the Huo family had no choice but to bring back only one child." Huo Fei pursed his lips: "You've suffered, though."
"But who would have thought that the old man would recover from the crisis and be so healthy now?" Huo Yubai smiled coldly. "I even doubted whether he was really going to die that time."
Huo Fei asked in surprise, "Why is he pretending?"
"If we don't put on an act, how can we let Huo Yushen into the Huo family's gates?" Huo Yubai said in a deep voice, "Do you know why the old man looks down on Huo Changzhou?"
Huo Fei shook his head.
"Huo Changzhou's maternal family has always wanted to control the Huo Group. Huo Changzhou is a good-for-nothing, and his mother is even more scheming. The old man wants to cultivate his own successor. It's that simple." Huo Yubai took a deep breath: "Don't tell Shen Yan about my injury. I don't want her to worry."
Huo Fei snorted: "I don't think she's worried."
