Chapter 175
oldly, "You're being reasonable."But the next second, she suddenly reacted, Fu Yan was using Yin Yang on her!"Do you mean I mistook your mother""Aunt Four"Fu Yan asked the maid, "Did my mother break t...That explains why Huo Mingzheng said last night that Li Qin wasn't here, she went to her uncle's house.
Li Qin lost both her parents at a young age and grew up in her uncle's house. It is said that her uncle and mother were not born to the same mother, but he treated Li Qin very well.
Before that, there were even rumors that she had an improper relationship with her uncle, but these rumors were shattered because of her being with Huo Mingzheng.
Fu Yan didn't know much about Li Qin's family affairs. She only knew that her uncle had passed away more than a month ago, and Li Qin hadn't attended the funeral or come to see her uncle for the last time.
Elder Ho's voice came from the crack in the door, "You understand Li Qin's situation. Her body can't bear children. As the head of the Huo family, you can't be without an heir."
"The Huo family isn't mine alone, and the heir doesn't have to be my child. I could choose a child to personally teach at that time, and it would be the same." Huo Mingzheng's tone didn't waver in the slightest.
"Are you determined to be with Li Qin"
Ho Mingzheng's demeanor was calm and collected, yet a hint of determination lingered in his eyes. "With Shen Wei as a cautionary tale, I will choose my wife myself. Grandfather need not worry too much."
The old man let out a cold laugh, "Even I almost got fooled by you. The reason you set your sights on Shen Wei was because of that project. You grew up under my watch, do you think I wouldn't know"
It wasn't until a week after the incident with Shen Wei that he suddenly understood.
Ho Mingzheng had been laying the groundwork for this from the very beginning, waiting for Shen Wei's scandal to come to light, leaving the Shen family humiliated and forced to offer him the project personally.
He truly deserves to be his chosen successor. Both in terms of style and decisiveness, he surpasses both him and Huo Yuan.
Huo Mingzheng stood in the sunlight, his whole body shrouded in a faint hazy glow. His facial features became even more three-dimensional and sharp. "Since grandfather knows me so well and also knows my temper, the person I choose will never change in this life."
Old Mr. Huo took the cane from his assistant and said in an imperious tone, "Li Qin just doesn't work."
"Just because she can't have children"
"You got it."
Huo Mingzheng chuckled, said something, Fu Yan had already couldn't hear him, they went downstairs, the sound getting farther and farther away.
She leaned listlessly against the screen, sliding to the ground, her gaze fixed on the clothes closet in the distance.
She didn't know how long she had been lying there, but her legs felt numb. She finally slowly got up from the ground. She needed to find a way out of here.
Even if I can't get in touch with Ji Lin, I'll find a way to steal his phone from the maid.
Suddenly, the door outside the screen slid open and steady footsteps approached. She tightened the loosened collar of her blouse, turned to head toward the bathroom, but was caught by the wrist from behind.
"How long have you been awake" the man's voice was as cold as ever.
Fu Yan stood with her back to him, taking a slow breath. "I woke up when grandpa came."
"Did you hear that"
Fu Yan was silent.
Huo Mingzheng pulled her into his arms, pinched her chin, and looked down at her eyes, repeating word for word, "What did you hear"
Fu Yan's heart felt like it was being pierced by a needle. "You heard me. Do you want me to stay here and live in harmony with Li Qin"
Ho Mingzheng, all the good things in this world can't be yours alone. A person can't have it all; if you want one thing, you're bound to lose something else.
"What do I want What don't I want" The man glared into her eyes.
Her eyes rimmed red, she turned her face away, "Why do you need to ask me." death, he would drag those who Huo Mingzheng cared about down to hell with him!Kevin grabbed her and pulled her to the edge of the hatch, pointing a gun at Li Qin's head. He held up a loudspeaker and...
