Chapter 389 - 389: Everyone Is Making A Big fuss Out of Nothing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio   Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yun Shujing was already prepared. She thought that Huo Jiuxiao would most likely demand an exorbitant price, but to protect Huo Weichen, she seemed to have no other choice.

But surprisingly, Huo Jiuxiao just shrugged and replied, “I don’t want anything.”

However, he didn’t want it, and it made people feel uneasy and afraid.

“Go beg your brother,” Yun Shujing urged Huo Weichen. “Go beg him. He’s the only one who can let you live now.”

Huo Weichen was extremely unwilling, but he knew how serious the situation was. Now that everyone had agreed to let him go, as long as Huo Jiuxiao agreed, he would still have a chance to live. Therefore, he knelt in Huo Jiuxiao’s direction and moved in front of him. He kowtowed and begged for mercy. “Big Brother, please forgive me this time. I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

“Where did you go wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have harbored evil intentions towards Huo Zizhen…”

“That’s none of my business. Do you think I’m Buddha?” Huo Jiuxiao cut him off. “If you dare to say such arrogant words to Lin Wanli again, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead.”

After warning Huo Weichen, Huo Jiuxiao stood up with Lin Wanli and said to everyone, “Finally, we don’t have to come to this stupid ancestral hall in the middle of the night. I wish everyone a happy retirement. In addition, although I have a pile of supporting documents in my hands, I don’t have any direct evidence that Huo Weichen is after Huo Zizhen. Everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill. In that case, good night.”

With that, Huo Jiuxiao left the ancestral hall with Lin Wanli, leaving the people in the ancestral hall looking at each other.

So, what happened tonight? Huo Jiuxiao had made Yun Shujing and her son reveal so much truth with false information and even destroyed the ancestral hall.

It was all because Huo Zizhen had left such a deep impression on everyone that everyone thought that Huo Jiuxiao would not cheat, so the final reversal caught them completely off guard.

Huo Weichen was especially furious.

The truth had been told, and he had knelt. In the end, this was all Huo Jiuxiao’s scheme. His true intention was to destroy the ancestral hall and remove Yun Shujing’s protective umbrella.

Yun Shujing was also stunned.

“Mom, can we not be so impulsive in the future before we investigate the matter? Now, I’m begging for mercy from that trash. Are you satisfied? How are we going to play in the future?”

Yun Shujing looked at Huo Weichen with an unfamiliar gaze. Although the drama in the ancestral hall was designed by Huo Jiuxiao, it was true that Huo Zizhen was being hunted down.

“So, why are you chasing after Zizhen?” Yun Shujing shouted sternly, “Are you still a f*cking human?”

“Huo Jiuxiao said there’s no evidence!”

“Huo Jiuxiao said that there’s no evidence to prove that you didn’t do it. Xing Guan has also verified what Huo Jiuxiao said. Do you dare to say that you didn’t instruct your ex-girlfriend to bribe the maid?”

“I can’t tell you! In the future, don’t interfere in my matters!” Huo Weichen was going to deny it to the end. He would never admit it without evidence anyway. Huo Jiuxiao, that piece of trash, only knew how to play dirty tricks to sow discord between him and Yun Shujing.

Yun Shujing’s heart ached. She wanted to go up and pull Huo Weichen away, but Huo Weichen pushed Yun Shujing’s hand away and rushed into the rainy night, disappearing from the ancestral hall.

He had to figure out how to make Huo Jiuxiao suffer.

Did he have any remorse for what happened to Huo Zizhen?

No, he never felt that he had done anything wrong.

Yun Shujing watched Huo Weichen leave like that, and her heart was filled with hatred, even though she could not understand why Huo Weichen would be so cruel to his sister.

“Mom…” At this moment, Mu Qingya went to support Yun Shujing, who was on the verge of collapsing.

She had suffered too many blows recently. She was too tired.

“Mom, I will do my best to find Zizhen.” Huo Shengyuan also walked up to Yun Shujing to express his determination. But in fact, Huo Shengyuan’s heart was the coldest between siblings.

He never spoke up for his sister and brother. Even if he did, it was because it involved his interests.

Yun Shujing used to think that he was rational enough to succeed in seizing power, but after seeing Huo Weichen’s pursuit of Huo Zizhen, she felt that the feelings between children were too fake.

“Shengyuan, you won’t lie to me, right?” Yun Shujing asked tentatively.

“Of course.” Huo Shengyuan answered smoothly.

The people in the ancestral hall had seen enough of Huo Qingxiao’s harem jokes. Back then, Yun Shujing had arrogantly taken away everything that belonged to Lu Ziyun. Today, he was in such a sorry state. This was a case of children killing each other. Perhaps this was Huo Jiuxiao’s purpose for returning to the Huo family. Since the family of four was unwilling to let him have peace, then it was just right. None of them could escape.

After the Huo family members gradually dispersed, Uncle Zhong looked at the empty ancestral hall and sighed. He did not expect the ancestral hall to be disbanded just like that.

“Xuebin, you don’t have to follow me anymore. I’ll take your place at the Huo Corporation. You can go back to work.”

Xuebin stood behind Uncle Zhong, thinking about Huo Jiuxiao’s words. He asked Uncle Zhong, “Who do you think the Huo family will end up in?”

“Huo Jiuxiao has brains, means, and the domineering aura of a king, but Huo Shengyuan has accumulated so many years of experience. I can’t say for sure.” Uncle Zhong analyzed.

“Then who do you think you’re willing to support?”

“I used to think that Huo Shengyuan was a good person who could handle things in an orderly manner. But now I realize that he’s actually like an emotionless machine. Throughout all the drama in the ancestral hall, he had never spoken up for his sister and brother or Yun Shujing. He did not have the aura of a human. This makes me shudder…”

It was precisely because of this that he did not feel guilty even if the research and development team produced drugs that were harmful to the pregnant woman’s fetus. What was the difference between such a person and a terrorist?

“He’s too human. He has weaknesses, but he’s inhumane. It’s creepy.”

Xuebin listened to Uncle Zhong’s words and thought a lot in his heart.

At this moment, it would be much more comfortable to stand on Huo Chengyuan’s side, but his heart told him that he wasn’t someone worth following.

On the other hand, Huo Jiuxiao, who looked abnormally dangerous, was more human and attracted people to follow him.

In the two big dramas, Director Liu was taken away, Huo Weichen was severely injured, and the ancestral hall was destroyed. It looked like Huo Jiuxiao had won again.

Even Huo Qingxiao didn’t know how he had gotten this ability. He didn’t touch the Huo family’s security system, didn’t interact with the Huo family’s shareholders, and was indeed deaf. But how did he force Yun Shujing and the siblings into such a state?

Was this kid hiding something?
