Huo Cixiao hugged the person in his arms tighter. "Actually, I did think about contacting my uncles, but without my grandparents, it's difficult to communicate, and my uncles don't really like me... Seeing me reminds me of my mother and makes me sad. They're only helping me because they don't want my mother's inheritance to go down the drain..."
Luo Beishi sighed softly, "Tell me, aren't we both short of family ties? Each of us is worse off than the other."
Hearing his adorable wife sigh, Huo Cixiao almost forgot all the bad things that had happened. "That's true, we're quite destined for each other."
Luo Beishi stopped insisting that Huo Cixiao go to his uncle's house. He felt that Huo Cixiao's uncles probably didn't dislike Huo Cixiao, but rather that Huo Cixiao's personality usually seemed rather cold and unapproachable.
But they could try a different approach, so she asked, "Honey, do you have your uncle's WeChat?"
Huo Cixiao: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Luo Beishi, "Since you're not going, send New Year's greetings to your uncles WeChat, and send red envelopes to your cousins. Just have the bodyguards deliver the New Year's gifts. If you do all that, it'll be a token of your goodwill, and it can also help ease tensions."
Huo Cixiao: "I don't need to ease tensions."
Luo Beishi: "..." He seems to be meddling too much. The big boss has his own ideas. No, he's already "spoiled and arrogant" now. What can't he ask?
Just as he was about to start causing trouble, his ultimate move was interrupted again...
Hearing this, Huo Cixiao coaxed in a low voice, "Alright, don't be angry. I'll do as you say. You're right, we need to ease the tension." His wife was so obedient. Well, he'd reluctantly send some messages to Pei Qian and the others. Humph, it wasn't his own idea to send them.
Feeling Huo Cixiao stroking his hair again, Luo Beishi remembered that this gesture was from when he touched Momo... Damn, this is addictive!
Why does he keep bringing Momo's perspective into his posts lately?! It's toxic!
Huo Cifeng looked at the mess in his house, took a deep breath, and realized he shouldn't have come back today. But if he hadn't, his father would not only have failed to give his mother the respect due to a matriarch, but would have also done whatever he pleased.
These people have now been subdued by his bodyguards and are sitting "quietly" on the sofa.
Huo Cifeng: "Dad, tell me, what's going on?"
Huo Cheng: "What should I say? How should I say it? Who knows why your mother grabbed Hu La? It scared Xinxin so much that she cried."
Huo Cifeng: "..." If it weren't for those shares, he really would want to beat Huo Cheng to death right now. Does he think he's so young? Playing the domineering CEO and his spoiled wife? He finally managed to resolve the company's issues yesterday, and just wanted to rest today, but unexpectedly, today is even more of a headache. Who exactly wants to ruin their family's New Year celebrations?
Xinxin looked at Huo Cheng with teary eyes, her face full of "You heartless man," Huo Cheng felt extremely guilty.
" Huo Cheng, explain!" Hu La was wearing a sexy, fiery red winter cheongsam today, which gave her a unique charm.
Huo Cheng was itching to see it, but worried that Xinxin would cause trouble. "It's just like what you see."
At this moment, Hu La laughed, "Is this what I see? Seeing you move into this house with Xinxin Xinxin, right? Fine, I want to move in too! If not, then I'll take my son and run away. He's my son anyway, and I don't need the money to raise him. I've earned enough over the years!"
Huo Cheng immediately panicked upon hearing this, "No, Lala, I love you too, don't go!"
Xinxin: "Waaah..."
Lin Lan covered her mouth. "Pfft!"
Huo Qiuya clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Awesome! I actually have a younger brother! That means I have two younger brothers now!" But no one paid any attention to her.
Huo Cifeng: "..." Damn it, just bear with it, just bear with it a little longer.
Upon hearing that Xinxin, who was sitting next to him, was crying so hard her eyes were streaked with tears, Huo Cheng felt a pang of heartache. " Xinxin, don't cry, brother loves you too."
The bodyguards around were seeing such a lively scene for the first time, and they were holding back their laughter, afraid that they would be fired if they accidentally laughed out loud. After all, it's not easy to find a job these days, and a high-paying job where you can just sit back and watch the drama unfold is even harder to find.
Upon hearing this, Hu La's anger flared immediately. She quickly stood up and, while the bodyguards were engrossed in watching the drama unfold, slapped Huo Cheng across the face. "Who do you love! Tell me who you love! Huo Cheng, you shameless old bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Huo Cheng was terrified after being beaten. He touched his Lala cheek, looked up at her, and immediately changed his tune. " Lala, no, I love you the most. Don't be angry," he said, pulling Hu La's hand and begging for forgiveness.
Hu La was the sexiest woman he had ever met, and Hu La was also the least afraid of him. Both Xinxin and Lin Lan were afraid of him, but Hu La was a different person in his heart.
Huo Qiuya whispered to her brother, "Wow, this works too."
"Shut up." Huo Cifeng had a headache from listening to this and couldn't help but rub his temples. He hadn't slept for two days. Then he said to Huo Cheng, "Dad, where do you put Mom? Did you marry her against all odds just to humiliate her?"
Hearing this, Huo Cheng laughed, touching his burning left cheek. " A-Feng, I don't want to bring up the past; after all, it wasn't exactly something to be proud of."
Lin Lan: "Disgraceful? Brother Cheng, you're saying it's disgraceful now? Don't forget, you were partly responsible for this despicable act, just to spite the Pei Family, weren't you?"
At this moment, Xinxin spoke up again in a low voice to change the subject, "Brother Cheng, it's all my fault... I'll leave. I'm not staying here anymore. As long as I leave, everyone will be at peace."
Hu La wasn't going to tolerate Xinxin, who was also a bitch. She looked down at Xinxin on the sofa and said, "Then you can leave. Lin Lan and I thank you."
Lin Lan: "..." Wait! Why did you change the subject?!
"Come on, didn't you say you were leaving? Stop just talking and pretending to be an innocent white Xiao Bai. Don't say things you can't do, or people will take them seriously. And who are you trying to fool with this act?" Hu La hated those damn white lotuses the most, so she slapped Xinxin across the face again.
A pink handprint immediately appeared on Xinxin and delicate face.
Huo Cheng felt his heart was bleeding; both his sons and daughters were his flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear it. So he shouted at Hu La, " Hu La! I've really spoiled you! Hitting me is one thing, but you even hit Xinxin!"
Hearing Huo Cheng speak to her in this tone for the first time, Hu La froze for a second, then grabbed her chain-link handbag and began slapping it wildly across Huo Cheng's face and neck. "You dare to insult me! Who gave you the audacity to insult me!"
Xinxin covered her face, unable to bear watching any longer, and came over to break up the fight. Before her hand could even touch Hu La's elbow, she quickly fell to the ground, crying, "Waaah, Brother Cheng, it hurts..."
Huo Cheng initially let Hu La beat him, but now that he saw his darling being pushed to the ground, he couldn't bear it anymore and rolled up his sleeves to fight back against Hu La.
Luo Beishi: "Hahahaha... Tongtong, quickly call the police for them, haha, send the surveillance footage to the police station, and then send it to the aristocratic family's group chat."
This is the biggest show of the year, even more exciting than a Spring Festival Gala skit! How can I be the only outsider watching? I'll make sure the big shot sees it by accident later."
