When Huo Cixiao appeared, some of them were so scared that their teeth were chattering, some wanted to rush up and beat him up, and of course, some were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
These two men were not only handsome, but also dressed very elegantly. They were the epitome of refined and noble gentlemen.
These kids, some as young as ten and the oldest already in college, wanted to curse and belittle Luo Beishi, but they couldn't find an outlet for their anger. Luo Beishi had good looks, money, and talent; after Luo Beishi, he had previously won an international knowledge competition.
Their faces were flushed with anger, and they had nowhere to vent their frustration; someone from each of their families had been arrested.
The trial hasn't started yet; it'll probably be after the Lunar New Year. But they all know who Huo Cixiao is. If you mess with him, you'll suffer terribly.
Luo Beishi, observing the unusually docile atmosphere, merely glanced indifferently at the ordinary-looking "protagonist."
In his opinion, this person is not even a fraction as good as the villainous boss. He has no charisma, no good looks, and his physique is far inferior to the boss's.
" Tongtong, why are some male protagonists in novels so... ordinary-looking?"
System: "Host, you really have fallen for the main villain. In your eyes, are all the others less than dog shit?"
Luo Beishi: "Okay, some people really are worse than dog shit."
Huo Cixiao ignored the group of people, because they weren't worth a single word from him.
And among this group, the most conspicuous one is Huo Cifeng, the stand-in. His wife wouldn't even give him a second glance. He's just a stand-in, yet he wants to take over? Humph.
Luo Beishi and Huo Cixiao held hands intimately as they went to the teahouse to find the old man.
No one's causing trouble yet, so he can't make his move; let's wait and see.
Huo Cixiao then whispered in his ear, "Watch the threshold."
Wearing this mandarin jacket, Luo Beishi could barely see his feet, making him look like he had traveled back to ancient times, and that he was a pampered young master.
Without batting an eye, she turned her head away, avoiding the damp heat and itchiness. Luo Beishi's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, clear and sweet, as she laughed, "Then my husband will have to hold on tight to me."
After saying this, Luo Beishi didn't miss the tips of Huo Cixiao's ears, which had turned crimson.
Was this guy really this innocent?
Luo Beishi pretended not to know and continued walking forward, no longer teasing him.
After walking through another corridor, Huo Cixiao led him with practiced ease to find his grandfather to offer New Year's greetings.
Upon entering the tea room, one finds Grandpa Huo and Huo Da. The two do not appear to be a loving father and son; rather, there is a tense atmosphere, and even the air itself seems unusual.
Huo Cixiao completely ignored Huo Da and Huo Cheng, and instead said to Grandpa Huo, "Happy New Year, Grandpa! I wish you boundless happiness, longevity, and good health."
Luo Beishi followed closely behind, flashing a bright smile, "Happy New Year, Grandpa! May all your wishes come true, may you always be smiling, and may you enjoy good health and all the best!"
Grandpa Huo had no idea that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law had arrived so quickly, and they were both incredibly sweet-talking.
"Alright! Happy New Year to you both too. Come here, Grandpa has prepared big red envelopes for you both." Old Master Huo was incredibly kind at this moment.
Seeing his father's differential treatment of his other two children, Huo Cheng felt a pang of heartache and let out a cold snort. He was just waiting for his eldest daughter-in-law, whom he had never met, to come and ask him for New Year's money.
Who knew that after receiving the red envelope and chatting with Old Master Huo for a few minutes, the two of them actually left!
They completely ignored him!
Huo Cheng's face turned ugly, Old Master Huo gloated.
After watching his grandson and granddaughter-in-law leave, he coldly snorted and continued, "One illegitimate child wasn't enough for Huo Cifeng, so you raised two more? You want to be included in the Huo Family genealogy? You're dreaming. I don't care how many people you've raised, none of them will receive a single penny from me. Let me make it clear. If you want to treat them well, that's your business, don't come and bother me."
Old Master Huo abandoned his kind and gentle demeanor, his eyes sharpening, his tone as biting as an ice blade.
Huo Cheng felt a chill run down his spine under his father's gaze, but he still chose to be reckless and said, "As you know, I transferred all my shares to A-Feng, and he still hasn't returned them to me."
Hearing this, Old Master Huo chuckled, "Isn't that your own fault? Huo Cheng, your brain is completely useless. You're as easily fooled as ever. Sometimes I even want to kick you out of the house. It's not that I don't want to, but rather it's better for you to stay locked up in the Huo Family than to embarrass yourself outside."
Huo Cheng was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head. He could only secretly resent Luo Beishi, who had married into the family. If it weren't for Luo Beishi blocking A-Feng's way, the Huo Corporation would have been in their hands long ago.
Unfortunately, after Huo Cixiao's car accident, his two subordinates Ling Kai and Lei Long, took control of the Huo Corporation, giving A-Feng no room to maneuver.
Huo Cixiao is just like his deceased mother. She always has a backup plan in everything she does. Even after she died, she left her huge fortune to Huo Cixiao through a will.
This kid is ruthless and vicious, yet he's favored by his father. As soon as he joined the Huo Corporation, his father gave him a lot of shares, more than any other member of the Huo Family had ever received.
No wonder he was always assassinated. Huo Cheng no longer felt sorry for his eldest son, but instead felt more sorry for his second son.
"Get out, don't get in my way." Old Master Huo looked at Huo Cheng in front of him. His figure was out of shape, and his face was pale. Could it be that he had been indulging in debauchery for many years and his body was already depleted?
Huo Cheng got no results and was scolded again. "Yes, Father, goodbye."
Luo Beishi was overjoyed to receive the gold card; he was so happy he wanted to jump for joy.
But on the surface, he still has to maintain his "rich man" persona.
Huo Cixiao could sense that Luo Beishi very happy, and he couldn't help but smile as well.
"Are you cold?" Huo Cixiao wrapped his own scarf around Luo Beishi's neck; it was a scarf that he had warmed up.
Now my wife looks even more obedient and adorable.
Huo Cixiao fastened it for him to make sure it was secure and wouldn't fall off.
Luo Beishi felt a warmth in his heart at Huo Cixiao's actions.
What they're wearing today isn't ordinary clothing. Don't be fooled by their thin layers; their thermal underwear is made of special thermal fiber material that Huo Cixiao specially purchased, costing millions of dollars per piece. It keeps their body temperature constant within a normal range and is extremely cold-resistant.
Luo Beishi marveled at how high technology allowed him to avoid dressing like a dumpling in the snow.
Now they are by the small pond in the old man's yard, looking at the fish that are still alive in the snow and ice. They are very transparent and even Huo Cixiao doesn't know what kind of fish they are.
Luo Beishi continued to look down at the fish and smiled, "This fish is beautiful."
Huo Cixiao: "It's beautiful. I'll have someone capture it and take it home to raise."
Luo Beishi: " Tongtong, hahaha, the boss is so funny."
System: "Interesting, why don't you kiss him to death?"
Luo Beishi: "... You're being really radical right now."
"Brother, can Beishi have a chat with me for a bit?" a male voice suddenly rang out.
