“That’s right. I thought you were going to announce something big, but it turned out to be something without any evidence. Old Zhong, I don’t want to say this, but you’re really old.”
After saying that, everyone was about to leave. At that moment, Uncle Zhong stood up and said loudly, “No one is allowed to leave today. If we don’t sort things out, we’ll leave a hidden danger for the Huo Family. I’ve been in this position for so many years. I won’t allow such a thing to happen.”
Everyone turned their heads and felt that Uncle Zhong seemed to have suddenly become old. His brain was no longer working well. Why did he have to insist on accusing innocent people?
This time, Yun Shujing was no longer angry. She said to Uncle Zhong, “It’s fine to sort things out. But suppose Huo Zizhen and I are really innocent. In that case, I think Uncle Zhong is no longer suitable to be the head of the Huo
Family’s ancestral hall. What do you think?”
“Mom is right.” Huo Zizhen chimed in, “Uncle Zhong, we have our tempers too.
“What if we prove that you and your daughter are indeed suspicious? Then, will Yun Shujing also hand over her management rights as the matriarch and also get her children to step down from the Huo Family’s management?” Uncle Zhong also discussed the conditions with Yun Shujing.
Everyone was shocked.
How did those two end up with a bet?
Moreover, it was for something that had no evidence. What was it for?
“Uncle Zhong, did you ask our family to withdraw from the Huo Family’s business to pave the way for others?” Huo Zizhen said meaningfully.
When everyone heard that, they wondered if Uncle Zhong was doing that for Huo Jiuxiao.
“My second brother has been working hard at the Huo Corporation for ten years. Don’t you think you’re heartless?”
The other two elders also tugged at Uncle Zhong, “Old Zhong, forget it. Don’t make things so ugly. Hasn’t Shengyuan done well all these years?”
Uncle Zhong broke free from the pull of others and said with a smile, “Let’s not talk about the danger of Huo Xinhong for now. Let’s make things clear about the matter of legitimacy. I do not deny Shengyuan’s contribution to the Huo Family, but Huo Jiuxiao was clearly born out of a legitimate marriage. Can he be compared to an illegitimate child?”
Yun Shujing’s expression changed when she heard the words ‘illegitimate child.’
“Facing the ancestral hall and looking at the Huo Family’s ancestors, how can you say that?”
“Besides, putting aside whether or not I’m paving the way for Jiuxiao, even if I’m paving the way for Jiuxiao openly because Huo Xinhong is threatening the safety of the Huo Family, it’s only natural. Who dares to say anything today?”
“Uncle Zhong, do you mean that no matter how hard the illegitimate son tries, he must be trampled by Huo Jiuxiao? Then what about my son’s ten years of hard work?” Yun Shujing retorted agitatedly, “Don’t forget that you were the ones who chose me to take over the position. I don’t care about the legitimacy. I only know that my son is not inferior to anyone! Some people have just returned to the Huo Family and have already caused so much trouble. It’s fine if you don’t go and punish them, but what’s the point of making things difficult for us, who are loyal to the Huo Family?”
At that moment, Lin Wanli tilted her head and looked at Master Xiao. However, Master Xiao still had his usual expression of watching a show. “Uncle Zhong, you should step down.”
“It’s not up to you to judge whether or not I step down! You have evil intentions, yet you’re dragging innocent people down to cover up your crimes. Yun Shujing, you’re really vicious.”
“Uncle Zhong, show us the evidence. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get away with this.” Yun Shujing was obviously enraged and didn’t want to give the old man any face.
Uncle Zhong sneered and nodded. Then, he extended his hand towards Xuebin.
Xuebin took a stack of photos from his pocket and handed them to Uncle Zhong who casually threw them, and the photos of Huo Zizhen and Huo Xinhong meeting were scattered everywhere.
“Then explain it to me. I want to see who the person who can’t be forgiven today is!”
Everyone picked up the photo from the ground and was shocked. It turned out that Huo Zizhen and Huo Xinhong were really in contact.
Huo Zizhen and Yun Shujing panicked. They had clearly…
This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible. How could this old man still have evidence in his hands?
“Qingxiao, take a look too. You two old things, take a clear look together.”
The evidence had already been thrown in front of their faces. Was there still anyone who wanted to question it?
At this time, even if the two elders wanted to side with Yun Shujing, they had no room to make a fuss. The evidence was too overwhelming.
“The noble matriarch of the Huo Family, can you tell us the truth now? What is your relationship with Huo Xinhong? What is your secret plan? I didn’t accuse you this time, did I?”
“Speak! Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Didn’t you want me to step down?
What about now? Are you mute?”
Yun Shujing stood rooted to the ground because she did not know how to explain herself.
“As everyone knows, the hatred between Huo Xinhong and us is very deep. To seize power back then, he created many terrifying incidents. The person standing in front of you now is colluding with our enemy and even has an improper relationship with him. How can you help her?”contemporary romance
Uncle Zhong sneered several times.
“I don’t know what corrupted you. Ask yourselves, are you still worthy of sitting in the position of judge? Or do you really think that you can escape unscathed once Huo Xinhong makes a comeback and holds power?”
The other two elders were instantly rendered speechless and embarrassed. “Huo Zizhen, Yun Shujing, aren’t you going to explain yourself?”
“If you and your daughter have nothing to say, other than fulfilling the bet just now, the Huo Family will investigate this matter to the end. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. The consequences will be much more serious! I don’t care how much trouble you guys make, but you can’t joke about the Huo Family’s interests and safety.”
At that moment, Huo Zizhen and Huo Weichen looked at Yun Shujing anxiously.
However, Yun Shujing closed her eyes and said, “This is a trap that was planned long ago. You’re indeed paving the way for others. I’m innocent. I have nothing to say!”
Because she could not admit it. The photo only proved that Huo Zizhen was in contact with Huo Xinhong. It could not prove anything else.
If she admitted it, none of her children could escape suspicion.
However, if she chose to remain silent, there were still shareholders whom she could still incite and use.
“I’ll hand over the management rights, but this has nothing to do with Shengyuan and Weichen. Before discovering the truth, you have no right to ask them to leave the Huo Family’s business. As for Zizhen, I’ll listen to Qingxiao’s decision.”
Everyone turned to look at Huo Qingxiao.
Huo Qingxiao stood up and said to everyone, “Yun Shujing, temporarily hand over the management rights. Limit all communication tools. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are not allowed to leave the Huo Family. Huo Zizhen will retain her shares for the time being, but she will withdraw from all of the Huo Family’s operations and will be restricted from departure from the country to cooperate with the investigation. Once she is proven to have done something that harmed the Huo Family, she will never be able to step into the Huo Family again! As for the others who are not involved, we will not deal with them for the time being.”
Hearing that result, Lin Wanli looked at Master Xiao in surprise. Sure enough, it did not affect the cruise.
Master Xiao was so accurate..
