Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal
Chapter 19: Old Master Huo Strongly Supports Meng Shu! (A play on words, implying a strong stance or
Old Master Huo did not reply, but his tightly furrowed brows revealed undisguised displeasure.
Although Zhao Jingming was extremely embarrassed, he still maintained a respectful demeanor, but his hands, which were hanging at his sides, clenched tightly in an instant.
Huo Changgeng felt extremely distressed upon seeing this.
He was about to say something when Old Master Huo spoke up.
"Alright, I don't care what your intentions are, but it's none of your business to interfere in Qilin's marriage!"
Huo Changgeng sighed, "Dad, even if you're angry, I still have to say it: it's no good for Qilin to marry an orphan. You should think it over."
Old Master Huo gave Huo Changgeng a cold glance, then waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Unexpectedly, under Zhao Jingming's prompting gaze, Huo Changgeng began to ramble on, "Dad, if..."
"Enough! With this free time, you should focus more on your work, or you'll end up in complete failure!"
Old Master Huo's face was full of sternness, but he sighed inwardly and looked at Huo Changgeng with disappointment.
My youngest son is short-sighted, easily manipulated, and incapable of shouldering great responsibilities!
The Huo family's hopes can only be pinned on that child, Qilin.
Seeing that his father was angry, Huo Changgeng had no choice but to shut up.
Zhao Jingming tugged at Huo Changgeng's arm and then said respectfully.
"Dad, Huo Sheng and Huo Zhi will be back from Japan in a couple of days. They've been thinking about you."
"As soon as they get off the plane, I'll have them come to see you immediately."
Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Old Master Huo's eyes, but he still nodded.
Just as Huo Changgeng and his wife were about to leave, Liu Yu entered the main hall.
"Sir, everything has been done as you instructed."
Grandpa Huo's expression softened immediately, and he nodded with a smile, "Liu Yu, where is Shuya?"
"Reporting to Master, the young mistress said she has some matters to attend to and will visit you at the old mansion in three days."
"Good, good, good." Old Master Huo smiled kindly, full of anticipation.
This scene was naturally witnessed by Huo Changgeng and his wife.
Zhao Jingming wore a polite smile, but her eyes were icy cold.
We left the old house.
Zhao Jingming coldly said, "Chang Geng, it seems that Father really values this Miss Meng. We need to investigate her thoroughly."
Huo Changgeng changed his timid attitude from before.
His narrow eyes were full of gloom and calculation.
The couple came to the old house to put on this wonderful show.
The purpose, of course, was to confirm that Huo Qilin had married an orphan with no power or influence.
Without the support of the woman's family, how could Huo Qilin compete with his own son?
The couple's eyes were filled with schadenfreude and triumphant smiles.
He married that poor girl, Meng Shu!
That Miss Mi Gong can no longer marry Huo Qilin.
Thus, Huo Qilin lost his most capable assistant.
In this way, everything in the Huo family would belong to his two children.
At this moment, Huo Changgeng suddenly said meaningfully, "Xiaojing, do you really think that Dad values Meng Shu?"
"Is not it?"
Huo Changgeng shook his head. "What Dad values most is that old man Lear. Meng Shu is, after all, Lear's apprentice. Even if he's dull-witted, he can still grasp some of the essence."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhao Jingming's eyes as he sneered, "Could it be that the old man is hoping that Meng Shu can cure that sickly child?"
"What do you think?" Huo Changgeng's smile didn't reach his eyes.
Zhao Jingming smiled, a hint of smugness in his eyes, "What a pity, old man..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, Huo Changgeng interrupted her sharply, warning her, "Keep what you shouldn't say to yourself!"
Zhao Jingming turned pale with fright and dared not speak.
At this moment, Huo Changgeng suddenly grasped her hand, smiling tenderly, "In that case, we, as husband and wife, must make sure the old man gets what he wants."
"Yes." Zhao Jingming smiled reluctantly, appearing extremely obedient.
"Alright, the kids should be at the airport by now. Don't keep them waiting."
Huo Changgeng smiled and said, but secretly sent a strange text message, his lips curving upwards slightly.
the other side.
Meng Shu was carefully tidying up the "Landscape Scroll," which was covered in dust because the boss had discarded it as junk.
She wouldn't dare show it off without taking great care of it.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
"Seventh Uncle, please speak," Meng Shu said calmly.
As Uncle Qi spoke, Meng Shu's expression grew increasingly joyful.
"They've already offered five million. What do you think, Miss?"
After a moment's thought, Meng Shu said, "Two hundred million, otherwise it's all off the table."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu smiled broadly, beaming with pride.
However, while some are happy, others are driven mad with worry.
Meng Wude never imagined that the real owner behind Qingfeng Academy was Meng Shuba.
The academy he sold for only one million back then now requires two hundred million to get back.
However, he would sell everything he owned to raise the exorbitant dowry.
It would be such a waste not to go back and see this great show with my own eyes, wouldn't it?
Two days later.
Meng Shu went to the Meng family.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw several secondhand appraisers conducting appraisals.
He Minghua held a box of jewelry with a mournful face, her expression as grim as if her husband had died.
Meng Yuxuan, standing to the side, wasn't much better off. The designer bags and jewelry she had worked so hard to acquire were about to be sold off, and she felt heartbroken.
If we don't kick someone when they're down now, when will we?
Meng Shu walked over with a smile, pretending to be unaware, and said, "Second Aunt, Cousin, what are you doing?"
Meng Yuxuan glared at her fiercely, his face contorted with malice, and said through gritted teeth, "What do you think?"
Meng Shu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "I understand. My second aunt and cousin think these things are outdated, so they don't want them anymore, right?"
"Oh dear, these things have depreciated quite a bit, haven't they? This is such a waste, considering they weren't cheap to buy."
I thought Meng Yuxuan would immediately turn hostile.
Unexpectedly, she took a deep breath.
He casually remarked, "Meng Shu, let's see how things unfold!"
Meng Shu smiled.
Haven't seen you for two days.
They've learned their lesson.
It seems that Menwood deserves a lot of credit.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
As Monwood drew closer and closer.
Meng Shu frowned, feigning confusion, and asked, "Hey, cousin, where's your bracelet that you always wear? Don't you treasure it?"
Meng Yuxuan's expression immediately changed.
She glanced at Meng Wood in fear. "Dad, I'm sorry, I lost that necklace."
Lost?
Seeing Meng Yuxuan's guilty look, Meng Shu smiled knowingly.
That bracelet holds many secrets; she must have hidden it away.
Although Meng Wood was furious, he couldn't say anything in front of so many people.
He looked at Meng Shu, his tone indifferent, "Why did you come back?"
Meng Shu smiled innocently, "Second Uncle, this is my house. You outsiders can live here, but my master can't come back and live here?"
