All of this was an Xiaowanâs inner voice.
She said it very quickly, but grandma Wu, who was next to her, was frightened.
old master huo had been in a high position for a long time, and he was used to giving orders. how could he tolerate being doubted by others? If he really got angry, no one would be able to control it. It was especially terrifying.
Huo Shenâs eyes were still on an Xiaowan, staring at her and paying attention to her.
it was as if there was no one else in the world.
the air around them became extremely quiet, as if a needle falling to the ground could scare everyone.
an xiaowan took a deep breath and lowered her head.
she felt good after saying all those words that she had kept in her heart. but at the same time, he was also a little flustered.
after all, old master huo had a whip in his hand.
Moreover, he was a man who could command the wind and the clouds. It was possible that he would destroy her if he was unhappy.
an xiaowan began to feel a little unconfident and wondered how she was going to end this. however, she did not regret saying these words.
Grandma Wu knew that they couldnât go on like this after a long silence, so she ignored their plan and quickly walked up to old master Huo. She stood beside him and said in a gentle voice, â âwhen children speak, they tend to act impulsively without thinking. if they offend you, donât mind yingluo too much.â
As she spoke, she took another step forward when old master Huo didnât respond.
âcome and sit here for a while.â
old master huo still didnât move.
old master ye panicked. he had never seen old master huo like this. he didnât speak, didnât move, and didnât get angry. he just kept silent.
An Xiaowan was also a little nervous, so she changed her tone and quickly followed grandma Wuâs words to give old master Huo an out. She whispered, â âgrandpa, iâm really too worried about huo shenâs injury. thatâs why iâm so sorry for my arrogant words. you can hit me!â
she hardened her heart and pushed her back.
Huo Shen frowned and immediately wanted to pull her back.
Seeing that she refused, he quickly said to old master Huo in a deep voice, â âGrandpa, if you want to hit someone, then hit me. If youâre angry, then direct it at me.â
old master huoâs footsteps suddenly moved slightly as he watched the two of them get beaten up.
he took a step back.
as far as he could remember, such a scene had never happened in the huo family.
Even if he had thought of punishing his wife at that time, and Qi Lin had rushed out to stop him, but that obstruction was not this kind of obstruction with emotion in his eyes. instead, it was a sense of responsibility, gentlemanly demeanor, and so on.
Any servant in the family, no matter how close they were, as long as they made a mistake, they would be driven away without any words.
since young, they had been trying to cultivate the childâs independence, the ability to deal with things, and the idea of being in charge of the company. there were all sorts of things, but he didnât cultivate a childâs feelings and courage.
according to the huo familyâs rules, the familyâs interests were above all else.
a child was born to take over the task of managing the family. he was not a person, but a tool. what they needed to do was to train this tool to be as useful as possible and lead the family to a better future.
Huo Shen had done everything they had hoped for.
except for the fact that yingying had fallen in love with a woman and was completely devoted to her.
in fact, qi lin was also wrong.
it was just that he had covered up and killed that mistake with his own hands.
