Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal

He had a broad face, a slightly balding head, and a smiling face. Fine wrinkles extended subtly from the corners of his eyes, giving off an air of sinister ruthlessness.

Next to him were Zhao Jingming, Huo Sheng, and Huo Zhi.

Meng Shu's gaze fell on Huo Sheng.

He wasn't particularly tall, but he had a delicate and dignified face, and there was no hostility between his brows.

Could such a person be a superhero?

Meng Shu harbored a sliver of doubt.

However, Huo Sheng in his previous life was indeed a born bad seed.

Could it be that many things have changed because of her rebirth?

Meng Shu frowned and pondered.

A meaningful glint flashed in Huo Sheng's eyes, but his face remained disdainful.

At that moment, Meng Shu heard Zhao Jingming's voice.

"Miss Meng, you've finally arrived! Everyone has been waiting for you for ages. We couldn't even start eating until you came."

Meng Shu was about to retort when Old Master Huo's voice rang out.

"Girl, come sit next to Grandpa." Old Master Huo's face was full of affection, and he even stood up to greet her, showing how much he doted on her.

Meng Shu smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa."

"Thank you for your hard work last night. It's all thanks to you that Qilin..."

"Grandpa, it's not hard work for me, it's all what I should do."

Meng Shu smiled sweetly and charmingly, her smile radiant and sincere.

Grandpa Huo nodded in satisfaction, "Good boy."

Huo Zhi looked at Meng Shu with a sour expression, "Miss Meng, where is my brother? Why hasn't he come downstairs yet?"

Meng Shu smiled.

She suddenly smiled shyly and said a little embarrassedly, "He took care of me all morning and didn't get any rest."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi's face turned pale with anger.

Zhao Jingming, who was standing to the side, chimed in with a smile, "Miss Meng is, after all, Qilin's betrothed."

"However, Qilin is known for not being interested in women. Miss Meng has actually won his favor. No wonder she is someone Dad values."

Listen to this.

Zhao Jingming really has a knack for this.

Meng Shu smiled but didn't reply.

"By the way, Miss Meng, there's an old saying—"

"It's called reciprocity."

Meng Shu raised an eyebrow and looked at her indifferently.

"Our Huo family gave you an exorbitant dowry. I wonder what Miss Meng has prepared for Qilin this time."

"Don't keep it a secret, hurry up and show it to everyone." Zhao Jingming joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, apart from Old Master Huo, whose expression showed slight displeasure, everyone else wore expressions of anticipation and enjoyment.

Meng Shu smiled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Grandpa, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

Grandpa Huo didn't understand what she meant, but he still said, "She is Qilin's second aunt, and also your second aunt."

Meng Shu nodded and smiled, "Oh, it's Second Aunt!"

"I don't know, have you ever heard the saying, 'A dog catching a mouse'?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Huo chuckled, "Ah Shu is right, you're meddling too much."

The air seemed to freeze as soon as Old Master Huo said those words.

Zhao Jingming couldn't even maintain her fake smile anymore.

Huo Sheng and Huo Zhi exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion and anger in each other's eyes.

So many years have passed, but Grandpa still doesn't like Mom.

They just couldn't understand it.

I asked Zhao Jingming about it privately, but she brushed it off lightly.

Huo Zhi glanced at the smiling Meng Shu, her resentment and jealousy reaching their peak.

"Miss Meng, my mother is still your elder, how could you..."

At that moment, a cold voice interrupted her.

"She's right, it's none of your business how I conduct myself!"

A handsome and tall man walked in; it was Huo Qilin.

"Brother, you are here."

Huo Zhi bit her lip tightly, her eyes red, looking like she had been bullied.

Huo Qilin walked directly to Meng Shu's side and asked, "They didn't bully you, did they?"

Meng Shu smiled and shook her head.

Huo Sheng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness when he saw Huo Qilin.

Over the years, he has kept a low profile and deliberately acted like a spoiled brat.

Therefore, he caused trouble everywhere in order to lower his grandfather's and Huo Qilin's guard.

However, his grandfather still left him abroad and ignored him, fearing it would affect Huo Qilin's status.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qilin has become increasingly outrageous, and now he doesn't even respect his parents.

If this continues, their whole family will probably be kicked out.

Such a cold-blooded person is not worthy of taking over the Huo family!

Huo Sheng's eyes were filled with malice and scheming.

Today, I must show Grandpa Huo Qilin his true colors!

Thinking of this, he said with a face full of grief and indignation, "Brother, my mother is your second aunt. She raised you single-handedly."

Over the years, he's neglected us siblings and me to take care of you. You're not grateful, and yet you say such things?!

Raise them?

Huo Qilin's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

It's well cared for.

He was riddled with illnesses and was practically on the verge of death.

Huo Qilin glared at Huo Sheng and said, word by word, "Don't mention my parents, you're not worthy to!"

After speaking, he walked step by step toward Huo Changgeng and his wife.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent, which frightened Huo Changgeng and his companion so much that their faces turned pale and they took a few steps back.

"If it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have died such a tragic death. Haven't you felt any remorse all these years?"

Didn't Huo Qilin's parents both die of illness?

Could it be that there's something else going on?

Meng Shu felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was being torn apart.

She slowly approached Huo Qilin and gently took his hand.

The next second, the man grabbed her hand instead.

Their eyes met, and they both saw the affection flowing between them.

At this moment, Huo Changgeng suddenly sighed, "Qilin, you've misunderstood this matter. Back then..."

"Stop making a scene!" Unexpectedly, Old Master Huo suddenly shouted.

The words fell.

His breathing was rapid, his face was flushed, and he was unsteady on his feet, which frightened everyone present into a daze.

Meng Shu released Huo Qilin's hand and hurriedly took Huo's pulse.

After taking his pulse, thankfully there was nothing seriously wrong.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Master Huo leaned back on the sofa, his eyes half-closed, without saying a word.

In an instant, he seemed to have aged considerably.

He opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time.

He waved his hand gently, "Chang Geng, you can go now. Don't come back to the old house unless it's absolutely necessary."

"dad……"

Huo Changgeng's expression changed, and he was about to say something when Old Master Huo stopped him with a look.

Then, he looked at Meng Shu, his tone much gentler, "Shu, come with Grandpa, I have something to tell you."

Meng Shu nodded, "Okay."

At this moment, only Huo Qilin and Huo Changgeng's family were facing off in the living room.

Huo Qilin waved his hand, his tone icy cold, "Leave the Huo family immediately!"

Huo Zhi's eyes were brimming with tears, "Big brother, what did Zhi'er do wrong? Why don't you want Zhi'er anymore..."

A hint of disgust flashed in Huo Qilin's eyes. "Stay away from me."

Seeing Huo Zhi cry, her parents were so angry they couldn't speak.

Huo Sheng blushed and was about to argue when Zhao Jingming stopped him.

"Now that Qilin is alright, we won't bother you any longer. Qilin, you should rest well, and we'll come to see you again in a few days."

Huo Qilin gave a cold laugh, turned and left without even glancing at him.

Zhao Jingming's expression froze, and his face turned pale and then red.
