Chapter 156 Heaven Envy of Talent
"Big, big brother..." Huo Xiao was immediately frightened.
“You have the blood of the Huo family in your veins, and I still treat you like a younger brother, but if you disobey me, you’ll become a beggar.” Huo Yi loosened his collar and instructed Su Ran, “Take good care of him. Once he’s discharged from the hospital, I’ll hold a wedding for you two.”
"A wedding?" Huo Xiao went crazy: "I don't want one, what will I do for a wedding with this face?"
"Do you think you've only lost your current face?" Huo Yi said coldly. "I'm doing this to save face for the Huo family and to make your relationship with Su Ran seem more affectionate. You enjoy the power of the Huo family, so you can't just enjoy it without giving anything in return."
Huo Xiao's mouth was slightly open, unsure of what to say.
Su Ran stood quietly to the side.
She's finally going to marry into a wealthy family. Although the price is a bit steep, at least she'll be set for life.

After having dinner at the Mu family's house, Huo Yubai and I went outside.
He opened the car door: "I'll give you a ride."
"It's so close, let's go for a walk," I said.
He closed the car door: "Okay."
He and I walked side by side on the road.
"I didn't handle Huo Xiao's matter well," Huo Yubai said in a low, cold voice. "It won't happen again next time."
“I don’t blame you.” I said indifferently, “You’re just too confident. You thought Huo Xiao would be afraid of you, so he wouldn’t dare to do anything reckless. Not only you, but Huo Yi was too. But in fact, Huo Xiao was spoiled since he was a child. He will get what he wants, even if it means doing anything.”
"I won't be so careful in the future," he said, looking at me cautiously.
I said nothing.
At that moment, a black Mercedes-Benz business class car drove past us and then stopped.
The car door slowly opened.
Huo Yubai and I walked over.
"Good afternoon." Gu Yunwei was not sitting in the car.
I looked him up and down: "Going out in this cold weather?"
"Just got back." He smiled faintly, one hand resting on his knee.
"How is your leg recovering?" I asked. "Judging by the time, you should be able to feel it again by now, right?"
"A little." Gu Yun smiled deeply. "It's my birthday this weekend, and my mother is going to throw me a birthday party. She specifically told me to call and invite you, but you seem to be very busy these days."
I nodded: "I really haven't had much free time lately."
"Will you come this weekend?" Gu Yun looked at me expectantly.
"If you have time." I smiled faintly.
Gu Yun did not take out the invitation: "You must come."
I took it, but did not agree.
Gu Yunwei looked at Huo Yubai with a half-smile: "Mr. Huo, are you feeling better?"
Huo Yubai replied casually, "No."
"Really?" Gu Yunwei's smile turned serious. "Then you'd better get better quickly, or you'll ruin Professor Shen's reputation. I'm working very hard to recover for Professor Shen's sake."
The implication is that Huo Yubai's constant use of self-inflicted injury tactics is not a good idea.
Huo Yubai replied, "Don't you all know I won't live past this year? The fact that I'm standing here proves her medical skills are excellent. I'm her living advertisement."
Gu Yunwei: "..."
"It's too cold. Huo Yubai shouldn't stand in the wind for too long. You should go back too." I took a half step back.
However, Huo Yubai and Gu Yunwei exchanged glances, both with very gloomy expressions.
I pulled Huo Yubai away.
Gu Yunwei closed the car door and left.
"Are you really going?" Huo Yubai looked at me meaningfully.
"I'm going." I said coldly.
Thinking about what Gu Yunwei had in his hand earlier, I guessed that his leg had almost fully recovered.
It was a little slower than I expected.
"Let's go," I said to him. "The Gu family's mess is finally about to get stirred up."
Gu Yunwei has great ambitions. As long as his leg can heal and he can stand up again, Gu Heng will have another powerful enemy.
For me, this is a good thing.
I arrived at my doorstep.
I feel warm all over.
I was about to push the door open when I saw Huo Yubai still following me: "Aren't you going home?"
"The heating in the house is broken and they're fixing it," Huo Yubai replied.
I was taken aback: "How could the heating be broken?"
“I don’t know either, but it’s broken. You can go and see for yourself; the repairman is at home.” He looked at me intently.
I was speechless: "Everyone says that the houses built by the Huo Group are of the best quality, so how come the house you live in is so bad?"
"Perhaps the heavens are jealous of talent." He looked at me deeply.
My mood sank several degrees.
Was Huo Yushen also killed because of the jealousy of heaven?
"Come in," I said helplessly.
He smiled and followed me into the villa.
-
Two days later.
I'm writing a report in the lab.
When I got up to pour water, I realized that my phone, which I had silenced, had its screen lit up.
The number displayed above is an unfamiliar mobile phone number.
I picked up my phone: "Hello?"
"Shen Yan?" The other person's voice was very deep and old.
I frowned slightly: "Are you my great-grandfather?"
My great-grandfather was my grandfather's older brother.
Just like Huo Yi, although he also has the surname Huo, he is considered to be from a collateral branch.
My family is the same.
I heard that my grandfather and his siblings had a huge fight over the family property back then, and they stopped seeing each other much afterward.
However, because ancestral worship is performed every year, people still meet during the Lunar New Year.
We also eat together.
Although there were undercurrents at the dinner table.
"You still remember me?" The old man's voice was cold and clear.
"Grandpa is too kind." I poured the water and sat down. "What did you want to see me about?"
"The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of your great-grandfather's death. The whole family is planning to go and pay our respects together. If you have time, please come over," said the great-grandfather.
I smiled and said, "Discuss it with the whole family?"
“I’ve already spoken to your second uncle,” the great-grandfather explained.
It turned out to be the case.
"Okay, I'll go." There are some things I really want to figure out.
"Then come over tomorrow, and we'll all set off together the day after tomorrow morning," Grandpa said.
"I understand." I hung up the phone.
This matter has a hint of conspiracy.
If I don't go, they'll definitely have other reasons.
I'll go see what's going on.
I told the people around me that I would go home and pack my luggage.
When my mom saw me packing my luggage, she was surprised: "Are you going out to play? Aren't you taking me with you?"
"Mom, I'm going back to pay respects to our ancestors." I explained, "My great-grandfather called me and asked me to go back. I also wanted to go back and visit them."
My mother frowned: "What is Great-Grandpa?"
“He’s my grandfather’s older brother,” I said.
My mom still doesn't understand.
I didn't explain further. After packing my things, I asked the aunt to carry my suitcase downstairs.
I need to go a day early.
Shen Xingyuan was sitting in his wheelchair, sunbathing in the living room. He looked at me with some surprise when he saw me leaving: "Are you going on a business trip?"
"I'm going back to Haicheng," I said with a smile, "to pay respects to my ancestors."
Shen Xingyuan frowned deeply: "What ancestor worship?"
Why didn't he know?
