Chapter 718: Chapter 717: 717, Older Rebellious Child

Su Wanwan asked him, “So how do you plan to manage him?”

Huo Zhexi is already twenty-four this year, an adult, not a child like Fu Ziyang.

At this age, he already has a set of thinking, who will be rebellious except for the elders.

More importantly, this kind of spoiled and arrogant rich third generation, if the measure is not well controlled, and it causes disagreements between brothers, then the problem will be significant.

But Huo Jingshen seemed to have a ready-made solution, “If we can manage ourselves, can’t we manage one rebellious child?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

The next day.

Su Wanwan woke up, it was not yet eight o’clock in the morning.

She dawdled on the big bed until Huo Jingshen came back from his morning run.

He went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, he was refreshed and handsome.

He came to the bed, reached out to lift the blanket, and said, “Baby, get up.”

Su Wanwan sat up with his help and then yawned.

“Wear this today.” He threw a yellow-green gauze dress at her.

Su Wanwan frowned, “I have to go to school today.”

Wearing this ladylike dress is a bit too troublesome, it’s not convenient for doing things.

“First, come with me to find Zhexi.”

“Do I have to go too?”

“The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Isn’t it your duty to educate the younger generation?”

“…Okay.” Su Wanwan picked up the dress, “But Zhexi doesn’t like me. If I go, won’t his rejection get worse?”

“Isn’t that better?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback.

**

After breakfast, Su Wanwan set off in Huo Jingshen’s car.

On the way, Huo Jingshen received a call from Huo Juncheng, it was like an underground party contact, saying a lot of things, and reminding him to arrive on time.

Huo Jingshen finally nodded, “I understand, I won’t go in first, I’ll show up when you storm out.”

Su Wanwan felt a thunderstorm roaring in her head.

This…

Are they acting?

After hanging up, Huo Jingshen said helplessly, “My uncle is old, and he has recently become very fond of watching spy dramas.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Okay then.

Finally, they reached their destination.

The house that Huo Zhexi rented was actually in a high-end residential area near Nancheng University. As soon as Su Wanwan arrived, she almost understood that it seemed that he really wanted to live with Bai Ruwei.

Bai Ruwei had already told her about this before. She thought it was the business between the couple, so she decided it was best not to interfere. But now it seems she’s involved after all.

They went straight into the building, took the elevator, and finally arrived at the door of room 1803.

They didn’t knock on the door when they got there but rather waited for Huo Juncheng to “storm out”.

The time was around nine in the morning.

The room was soundproofed; they couldn’t hear what was being argued inside.

After about 10 minutes, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Huo Juncheng’s furious roar came through.

“Fine, from now on you’re not my son, I’m going to announce today that I disown you, and you’re no longer connected to me in any way! I’ll treat it as if I’ve raised a dog for nothing!”

Su Wanwan was startled.

Every time she met him, Huo Juncheng was always gentle and easy-going. Because of Mingzhu, he was like a very good old man.

This was the first time she saw him this angry.

Whether he was faking it or truly raging, it seemed like the situation was very severe.

Is he really going to disown his son?

Inside the room, Huo Zhexi’s voice also quickly came over, “My business is not your concern!”

At this moment Huo Jingshen stepped forward, “Uncle, what happened?”

The deep, cold voice startled Huo Zhexi who was in the room. When he saw Huo Jingshen, his face took on an expression as if he had seen a ghost, “Big brother, you… what are you doing here?”

Holy shit.

He was just trying to scare their parents to achieve his goal of being with Bai Ruwei.

After all, Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu always cave in to him since he was little. Make a fuss, show his determination, and they will definitely agree to him being with Bai Ruwei eventually.

He did not expect to make such a big scene that everyone would know about it.@@novelbin@@

Especially when he saw… next to Huo Jingshen…

Holy shit! How come Su Wanwan came too?

Simply embarrassing!

Even an outsider has found out?!

Damn.

Huo Zhexi cleared his throat twice, blocked his face with a hand, and then turned his head away.

Huo Jingshen, dressed in a black suit, tall and long-legged, entered the room.

He was dignified and mature, every movement was elegantly aristocratic. He took a couple of steps in the spacious living room, looked up at the room layout as if making small talk, “Three-bedroom apartment, within the East Third Ring, this apartment’s rent price is around fifteen thousand. Zhexi, are you living alone?”

“…Yes!” Huo Zhexi had no choice but to say that.

He had been looking at this apartment for a long time, and as soon as he decided to rent it, he moved in immediately.

It’s close to Nancheng University. He had planned to use one room as his and Bai Ruwei’s bedroom, another one as Bai Ruwei’s study, and the other one for the maid who would cook three meals a day.

Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, then looked at Huo Juncheng, “Uncle, there’s no deep-rooted hatred between father and son, let’s not make a spectacle of our family matters and become a laughingstock in front of others.”

Huo Zhexi smirked, looking triumphantly at Huo Juncheng.

Family matters should not be publicised. Big brother has started persuading people.

Huo Juncheng sighed, “Ashen, your uncle also doesn’t want to create a spectacle, but look at this good-for-nothing!”

He looked deeply aggrieved, “He’s already twenty-four this year, everyday he’s shirking his responsibilities, spending time with that crowd of bad influences, drinking and making merry. Previously, I didn’t manage him, hoping that he would mature as he got older. But a while ago, your aunt introduced him to a job at the Ming Family’s company, and he was kicked out of Sicheng in just a few days, accused of playing video games at work, disrupting the whole department, and even screening a Japanese adult film during a meeting…”

Su Wanwan held her forehead.

Huo Jingshen was also: “…”

“The engagement to Miss Gu was going smoothly. Yesterday, when both families met to set the engagement date, he suddenly brought that woman named Bai along and claimed they were already intimate, asking Miss Gu to give them her blessings. Miss Gu cried on the spot, your aunt fell ill from anger and got hospitalized, and he packed up his luggage and moved out last night, saying he wants to cohabit with that Bai … what’s her name…”

“Bai Ruwei!” Huo Zhexi interrupted him, “Dad, I’ve told you so many times, Bai Ruwei is my girlfriend, she will be your daughter-in-law in the future, can’t you show her some respect?”

Huo Juncheng was so angry he attempted to hit him. But Huo Zhexi dodged the blow, and Huo Juncheng almost fell onto the couch. Luckily, Huo Jingshen acted quickly and caught him.

Su Wanwan also rushed forward to help, “Uncle, be careful.”

Huo Juncheng scowled, his usually composed face now filled with frustration. “Look at this brat, I can’t control him any longer and I don’t want to!”

With that said, he made another attempt to storm out of the room.

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Zhexi.

His hair was dyed red like a character from a manga, standing skinny by the window. The April temperature in Nancheng was already a bit high, and he was only wearing a T-shirt and big floral shorts indoors, paired with flip-flops. His skinny leg was bouncing restlessly. He smirked and eyed everyone in the room with a tilted head.

It was not even right to call him rebellious. Rebellion is a teenage phase, the way he was acting was no different from a loser.

It was just too embarrassing to watch.

How could the Huo Family ever produce such an oddball?

Su Wanwan found it unbelievable.

“Uncle, no matter what, Zhexi is still part of our family and my younger brother.”

Upon hearing these words, Su Wanwan was stunned.

Huo Juncheng sighed again, “Ashen, originally, I brought you over today to persuade him, but now it seems like you’ve come to see a joke.”

Huo Jingshen smiled lightly, “Uncle, you’re being too harsh. It’s true that I, as the older brother, neglected Zhexi before. Zhexi is a descendant of the Huo family; even if he is to work, he should be in our company. Working in the Ming Family’s company is inappropriate after all.”

Huo Juncheng looked surprised, “Ashen, you mean, you’re willing to give Zhexi a job opportunity?”

Huo Zhexi was also surprised.

Although he was indeed a member of the Huo Family, ever since the company was handed over to Huo Jingshen, it’s been incredibly difficult for any member of the Huo Family to get into the company. This big brother of his was notoriously stern and unyielding, having absolutely no regard for family ties.

Previously, he had laid off a large batch of employees and shrunk the stock proportions of the uncles in the Huo Family; later, he directly transferred Xing Yuyun to Jiangcheng, and even now Xing Siqing was still working as a salesgirl in the sales department.

Now, he’s unexpectedly extending an invitation for him to work in Huo Yuan?

Why did he feel like there was a catch?

But Huo Juncheng had already agreed, “That’s really great, Ashen, I’m handing this kid over to you today, you’ll have to discipline him properly for me.”

Huo Zhexi was startled, “Dad, what do you mean by this?”
