Chapter 439: Not Too Long

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

Before they got married, no matter what she said, Huo Shengyuan would never have been chauvinistic and respected her very much. How long had they been married? Couldn’t he continue pretending?

But where was this?

Although Mother Xu didn’t care about Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya, she still called her husband. Hence, the Xu family’s servant went to the hotel and brought the two of them to the courtyard.

“Shengyuan, why are you treating me like an outsider? Uncle Xu’s place is like home. Don’t be so formal. Even if Huiwen isn’t here, you can always come and stay.” This was the first thing Xu Chonglou said to Huo Shengyuan, and it immediately dispelled the anxiety in Huo Chengyuan’s heart. It turned out that he was as close as a son to Uncle Xu.

“Thank you, Uncle Xu.”

“Take Qingya to pack up and go fishing with me.”

“Alright, Uncle Xu.” Huo Shengyuan replied.

He did not like fishing, because the effort was not proportional to the harvest. To him, this was a great loss. However, he never showed his emotions, and the elders couldn’t see much joy in him. This also led Xu Chonglou to think that he liked fishing.

In the past, Xu Chonglou also thought that Huo Chengyuan liked fishing, but after meeting Huo Jiuxiao, he suddenly realized that all of Huo Shengyuan’s hobbies were his hobbies. This kind of invisible flattery and ingratiation made Xu Chonglou shake his head more than once.

The man-made lake in the courtyard was already crowded with a few old men. Seeing Huo Shengyuan and Xu Chonglou walking together, the old men smiled meaningfully again.

The artificial lake was not big. It was in the shape of a crescent moon. Because it was maintained daily, the lake was clean and clear, and there were not many fallen leaves.

A few old men were sitting on the dam with poles supporting them. They teased. “Shengyuan comes here every year to celebrate his birthday on time. He’s even more filial than your son.”

“Why does it smell so sour?” Old Man Xu defended him. “Isn’t he closer to me than my son?”

What did the young people say? They couldn’t meet someone too stunning, or else everything would be ordinary. They knew Huo Shengyuan earlier, but their minds were filled with memories of Huo Jiuxiao from yesterday. That kid was really interesting. He casually dug up information about astronomy, geography, literature, and martial arts. He told them everything he knew.

Looking at Huo Shengyuan now, he was not that good.

However, judging from Elder Xu’s attitude, Huo Shengyuan’s status still surpassed Huo Jiuxiao’s. After all, they came every year, and their feelings were deep. What was even more interesting was that the two brothers came to visit one after another, but both of them were ahead. It was hard to say what they were fighting for.

At this moment, Elder Hua cast his fishing rod. He turned around and asked,

“Isn’t there another young master in the Huo Family? Why isn’t he here?”

Elder Xu immediately glared at Elder Hua. This old thing was doing this on purpose.

“Big Brother and Huiwen aren’t close. I just came to see Huiwen and the baby in advance.” Huo Shengyuan explained.

“Oh, so that’s how it is…’

When they officially met tomorrow, the scene would be exciting.

“Shengyuan, don’t worry. All these years, your Uncle Xu has seen how obedient you are. No one else can compare to you.” Old Master An also came to join in the fun.

This group of old men spoke human words to everyone, and Huo Shengyuan was indeed fooled by them.

“Thank you, uncles. However, I don’t care about this.”

He said that he didn’t care, but he eagerly went to the Xu family in advance. He wasn’t magnanimous.

However, the few old men did not expose him. They just wanted to watch the show tomorrow. How would Huo Shengyuan perform in front of Huo Jiuxiao?

Su Yuanchao liked to gamble, and it was a huge gamble. Di Heng checked Su Yuanchao’s information. At noon, Huo Jiuxiao brought Lin Wan out of the hotel where Su Yuanchao had gone for lunch.

The two sides were separated by a wall, but Huo Jiuxiao understood Su Yuanchao’s thoughts.

“I was unlucky yesterday. I must win it back with interest today.”

“How annoying. Where did the Xu family hide Xu Huiwen? Looks like I have to take advantage of that old fart’s birthday banquet to trick his daughter over. At least I still have a death-exemption card.”

“old thing, you don’t even care about your son-in-law. You’re simply heartless.”

When they were almost done with the meal, Huo Jiuxiao called Duan Yanxing. “At two o’clock in the afternoon, someone gathered in the basement of Golden Coast to gamble. Get some evidence and call the police.”

Huo Jiuxiao hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Then, he received a text message from Duan Yanxing. “Let Song Huaishu go out and practice.”

“This is related to the Xu family. The fewer people who know about it, the better.”

Duan Yanxing knew which Xu family it was, so he did not struggle anymore. He had heard a little about the son-in-law of the Xu family. He was not a good person and was addicted to gambling. He did not know why the Xu family took a fancy to him and even took him in as their son-in-law. However, some men were very good at disguising themselves. Some could act for three months, some could act for three years, and some could even believe themselves as they acted.

If it wasn’t for the Xu family, Huo Jiuxiao would have set up a trap to make Su

Yuanchao lose all his money and embarrass himself in the Deer Terrace Pavilion. However, if that were the case, the Xu family and Xu Huiwen would also be unable to be humans.

“As long as one of those three things touches one, regardless of whether it’s a man or a woman, it’s almost destroying their lives.]

Lin Wanli had three things in her heart: prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, just take Huo Weichen as an example. Fu Lizhen was so ruthless that she kicked him in the crotch and he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

As for Su Yuanchao, he was completely superior.

It was also because of such an existence that the Xu family would be affected no matter what. The most pitiful one was still the child. He was still so young and came from a prestigious family, but he had to endure the most painful suffering in the world.

“Master, should we tell Auntie Xu? I just think that she can choose for herself

and Miss Xu.”

“Wait for Duan Yanxing to get the evidence.” Huo Jiuxiao said as he served her the dishes “Hurry up and eat. I haven’t had a good meal in the Huo Family recently.”

“How can I have a good appetite for those people from the Huo Family?] Lin Wanli couldn’t help but mutter.

“It won’t be long.” After Huo Jiuxiao finished arranging the dishes, he scooped a bowl of soup for her. “There’s another show tomorrow.”

Huo Shengyuan and Su Yuanchao had always had a cooperative relationship.

The Xu family had never known about this. Especially after Miss Xu’s accident, Huo Shengyuan dared not mention it in front of the Xu family because it would touch Madam Xu’s reverse scale. Huo Shengyuan did not dare to take the risk.

Since that was the case, shouldn’t he give them a big gift?

Lin Wanli took the soup and turned to Huo Jiuxiao.

“All men in this world have their pursuits. What is Huo Jiuxiao’s pursuit?”

Huo Jiuxiao looked at her and answered seriously, “Live a long life. I’ll accompany you until we’re old..”
