Chapter 172 The Next Lady of the Huo Family
Chapter 172 The Next Lady of the Huo Family
Shengxia did not forget that this man deliberately looked down on her when he first met her.
He suddenly said these words, maybe he did it to disgust her on purpose?
But even though she knew this, when Shengxia heard the words "Miss Gong is your fiancée", her heart couldn't help but tremble violently.
Huo Tingxiao glanced at his mother coldly. Just this one glance made Meng Meiqin feel a chill to the bone.
What to do? His son is still as scary as ever...
Huo Tingxiao then turned his gaze to Huo Shu and slightly opened his thin lips.
"Aunt, didn't you understand what I just said?"
"Or is it that now that the Huo family has changed the rules, what the head of the family says is no longer authoritative?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly woke up.
Yes, in the Huo family, the authority of the head of the family cannot be challenged.
Whoever Huo Tingxiao says is his fiancée is her, and what others say is not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing that Huo Tingxiao had no respect for her at all, Huo Shu became even angrier.
There are so many people watching today, doesn't she, as an aunt, have any dignity to lose?
Upon seeing this, Mr. Huo immediately spoke out.
He walked to Shengxia's side and said in a serious tone, "Shengxia is the future granddaughter-in-law of our Huo family. As you can see, I have given her the rose brooch that symbolizes the inheritance of the Huo family, which means that she is the next head lady of our Huo family."
Shengxia was shocked when she heard this. It turned out that this brooch had such a significant symbolic meaning. No wonder others were so surprised when they saw it.
She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She thought that she and Huo Tingxiao were just at the beginning, but she didn't expect that he and Grandpa Huo had done so much for her...
The unhappiness that had just been caused by Huo Tingxiao's mother finally dissipated a lot in Shengxia's heart.
She didn't have to say a word, Huo Tingxiao and Grandpa Huo had already arranged everything for her.
Old Master Huo glanced at Meng Meiqi with displeasure, then looked at everyone, his eyes revealing the majesty of a superior.
"I had originally planned to solemnly announce this matter to everyone later, but who would have thought that such a misunderstanding would occur. However, now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, I believe everyone will understand it next. Well, the family dinner will begin soon, so everyone please take your seats!"
"Xia Xia, sit with grandpa."
Old Master Huo kindly called Shengxia to go with him, and Shengxia sensibly left with him.
She knew that the matter just now had not been resolved yet, and the trouble caused by Huo Tingxiao's mother would not be let go, but it was not convenient to settle accounts with her in front of so many people.
Sure enough, Huo Tingxiao did not follow Shengxia and the others, but left with Meng Meiqi.
Gong Yuqing was left alone there, feeling awkward and miserable.
She was Huo Tingxiao's fiancée just now, and was praised and envied by everyone, but in the blink of an eye she became a joke.
No one comforted her, no one even looked at her.
The only person she could rely on, Meng Meiqin, was also taken away by Huo Tingxiao...
Gong Yuqing froze in place, not knowing what to do for a moment...
Huo Tingxiao brought Meng Meiqi to a deserted place. His eyes were cold and his words went straight to the point.
"Who asked you to come here and cause trouble today?"
Meng Meiqin was irritated by his cold attitude. "What do you mean by making trouble? Is this how you should talk to your mother?"
"I'm here to make the decision for you!"
Seeing that she hadn't realized her problem yet, Huo Tingxiao asked, "What are you going to do for me?"
"You are someone else's wife now. From the moment you get married, you are no longer a member of our Huo family."
Meng Meiqin choked, "So, you still blame me for my remarriage?"
Meng Meiqi became anxious when this matter was mentioned.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"When your father left, I was only in my thirties. Am I going to be a widow and lonely for the rest of my life?"
"What's wrong with me getting married?"
Meng Meiqi spoke with a solemn oath, her heart and eyes full of grievance.
Huo Tingxiao's father never gave her much love. She is a woman and she needs to be loved.
"You're right." Huo Tingxiao said slowly, "I have never blamed you."
"Even if you found a man ten years younger than you, I never questioned you because this is your life and your freedom."
Huo Tingxiao stated calmly, and then changed the subject.
"But since you have chosen to remarry, it means you have given up your status as a member of the Huo family. You no longer have the right to interfere in the affairs of the Huo family. You are very clear about this."
Meng Meiqi knew she was in the wrong, but she refused to give in.
"But I can ignore other things, but can't I express my opinion on your marriage?"
"I'm your mother!"
Huo Tingxiao snorted, "You are my mother, so when I bring my girlfriend to my house for the first time, you bring another woman to mess with me?"
His harsh questioning did not make Meng Meiqin reflect on her own problems.
She argued, "I'm doing this for your own good! I've heard that she's a divorced woman and she's not worthy of you at all. How could you marry a divorced woman?"
"Shut up!" Huo Tingxiao's eyes turned cold in an instant.
"Don't let me hear any slanderous words from you again, or you will never get any care from the Huo family again!"
"Also, I, Huo Tingxiao, will never be interfered with by anyone when I marry, and you are no exception."
Meng Meiqi's heart skipped a beat. She never expected that her own son would turn against her just for a woman?
She was unwilling to give in, so she suppressed her displeasure and advised, "You are so outstanding, what kind of woman can't you want? Why do you have to find a divorced one? How will others speculate?"
Huo Tingxiao was not moved at all, and asked her back: "Aren't you also getting divorced and remarrying? Why are you allowed to marry an unmarried man, but not others?"
"You!" Meng Meiqin's face turned red with anger.
"How can it be the same? Although I'm divorced, I'm better off than Kevin, so I can make up for it. Husband and wife should be equal!"
Huo Tingxiao sneered, "Ha!"
"So you also know that the person you married is a gigolo who depends on you for support."
"You! Huo Tingxiao! I am your mother!" Meng Meiqun was so angry that her blood pressure rose!
She felt that the beauty treatment she had just done was in vain, as Huo Tingxiao made her have many wrinkles on her face!
"And then?" Huo Tingxiao asked back, "Besides giving birth to me, what else did you do?"
"Have you ever taken care of me for a single day since I was little?"
Meng Meiqin felt a little guilty and said defensively, "Isn't it because your grandfather monopolized you and didn't let me control you?"
Huo Tingxiao exposed it mercilessly, "Isn't it because you are obsessed with finding a man?"
"You!" Meng Meiqi was almost mad at Huo Tingxiao!
Is this what a son should say to his mother?
"You...you are unfilial!"
"Whatever you think." Huo Tingxiao didn't care, but just warned her sternly.
"If you dare to do something like what happened today again, you will not be my mother."
Huo Tingxiao said this and left ruthlessly.
Meng Meiqi was dumbfounded.
Other people's sons are all obedient and respectful to their mothers, but why is it that her son has never listened to her?
Sometimes she really couldn't tell whether Huo Tingxiao was her son or her father!
