âFifth Sister-in-law, youâre wrong about that. Everyone knows that Sixth Brother is allergic to fur. He canât raise such things,â Ye Ru covered her mouth and smiled. âSixth Brother, donât worry about it. Get the servants to throw it in the trash can later. Itâs just a beast[1] after all.â
âThatâs right. If Sixth Brother gets an allergic reaction because of this, itâll be our fault as his sisters-in-law!â Xiao Hui was already seething about what had happened last night and in the morning. She had finally caught an opportunity to seek revenge.
An illegitimate daughter with a little b*stard! He should take a look at himself as well! How dare he look down on them? Who should look down on whom?!
Huo Ci really wanted to tear their cheap mouths apart. They could not be considered humans. Even if it was a dog, they should have feelings for it after being raised for so long!
âGrandpa, Grandpaâ¦â Xiaoqi was still crying, and his voice was already hoarse. He tugged at his hand and turned to look at the dog. âLetâs save it!â â
Huo Ci frowned, not wanting to respond. However, when he saw the little fella cry so sadly, his heart softened. In a cold voice, he said, âWait a while.â
Cao Yunxian and the others had not expected this arrogant and eccentric man, who would not blink even if someone died in front of him, to turn around and carry the dog.
Thatâs right.
He took off his coat and placed the dog carefully on it before carrying it.
Forget about the fur allergy. He had always had severe mysophobia. If anyone in his family touched his things, he would not give them any face and throw them away directly.
While carrying the dog, Huo Ci looked at Xiaoqi. In a low voice, he said, âDonât cry. Wipe your tears.â
Xiaoqi wiped his tears hurriedly and looked at Grandpa. He nodded hard. âXiaoqi, wonât cry. Grandpa, letâs go and save it. It wonât die, right?â
Huo Ci grunted. If it died, the brat would be traumatized for the rest of his life. It was kicked down from the second floor. He had taken a look. Its injury was a little serious, but it should not die.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled casually. âLet me warn you people again. Ling Sheng is my daughter, my biological daughter. She didnât appear out of nowhere. If anyone dares to say another word, donât blame me for being rude to you. As for Xiaoqiâs father, you donât deserve to know who he is.â
âReally? We donât deserve to know? Is he someone from heaven?â Zhang Yuechan covered her mouth and laughed as though she had heard a joke.
âDoes Xiaoqi have a father? Didnât Sheng Sheng say that he was dead?â Ye Ru also pretended to be shocked. Who was he trying to scare? Did he think they were easily frightened?
âSixth Brother, donât go. Call Xiaoqiâs father over. I think itâs not just us. Father and Mother want to know who he is too, right?â Cao Yunxian smiled coldly. Really, a dog would dare to spout any harsh words when forced into a corner.
If the little b*stardâs father was a reputable person, would that illegitimate daughter keep it under wraps? Would he not say it himself?
Huo Ci paused for a moment before saying what they wanted him to say. âFather likes my daughter a lot. Let me give you people a piece of advice. Donât be happy too soon. Perhaps when Father is happy, he will give the whole Huo Family to her.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrogant women on the second floor lost all color in their faces. In fact, their faces contorted hideously for a moment as they shot daggers at him with their vicious gazes.
âYou guys know that Iâm a lunatic. Donât anger me,â Huo Ciâs smile became increasingly mocking and dangerous before he left.
Wasnât this the answer they had tried so hard scheming to hear from him?
He had said that he did not want a single cent of the Huo Familyâs assets, but he regretted it now. At this exact moment, he regretted it.
He decided that he must definitely let the brat take what belonged to him.
Or perhaps he could snatch the whole Huo Family over for the little brat to play with. Thinking about their expressions then, he felt that it would definitely be very interesting.
As soon as Huo Ci went out, the men who had been hiding in their rooms ran out quickly. Their expressions were brilliant.
Cao Yunxianâs face contorted in anger. He had finally admitted it! Huo Ci had finally revealed his motive! She knew that he had not given up. He had brought his illegitimate daughter and that little b*stard back to fight for the family assets!
However, this was not the answer she wanted. She had initially thought that with Huo Ciâs pride, he would say that he disdained the Huo Familyâs assets in public. And that even the little b*stard he had brought back would not want about the Huo Familyâs assets either.
Xiao Hui had not expected this to happen either. Not only had they not made Huo Ci yield, but they had also completely infuriated him because of a dog!
Zhang Yuechan was the angriest. Her face was ashen as she gripped the railing tightly, her chest heaving violently. Was the war about to start officially?
Jiang Meiyun had not said a word from the start to the end. She did not help either side. She was not that worried about the issue of the assets. After all, as the family of the eldest son, they would not lose anything they should receive.
Besides, she had a good son. Her son could earn money, unlike them, who only relied on the family assets to survive.
However, Fifth Brotherâs family had really tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Sixth Brother was completely infuriated by them. He was about to start a war with them. Letâs see how they would deal with this.
While the elders were about to start a war, the juniors were very sensible and did not appear. Only when everyone in the several branches returned to their rooms did they come out to take a look.
Su Xiyin had been listening the whole time, but she did not exit her room. Upon hearing Huo Ciâs words, she also made up her mind. They had gone too far in bullying others!
The Huo Familyâs assets belonged to both the husband and wife. She was the most lawful heir to the inheritance. She should have at least half of it!
In the past, she did not compete with them, and Ci Er did not have to rely on this bit of money in the house. However, now, the group of them had bullied their family so outrageously because of this small issue.
She had a temper too. If she did not teach them a lesson, they would really not know their worth!
Huo Xiao was in a deep sleep. The house was soundproofed well, so he had not heard anything. When he woke up, he saw his wife sitting beside him and looking at him lovingly. He smiled and asked, âWhatâs wrong? You âre looking at me like youâve never seen me?â
Su Xiyin asked, âCan I go back on my word now?â
Huo Xiao was confused. âWhat?â
Su Xiyin said, âHavenât you always said that half of the Huo Familyâs assets are mine?â
Huo Xiao said, âHalf is nothing. Iâll give you everything.â
Su Xiyin said, âI donât want all of it. I want half. The half that belongs to me. I wonât give it to Ciâer either. Iâll leave it to Sheng Sheng. Sheâs a girl. Itâs better if she owns more money. Iâll give it all to her as her dowry.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Huo Xiao smiled and nodded. âOkay, whatever you say. Let Sheng Sheng have it.â
Ling Sheng hung up on Sister Mei and walked toward the main residence. However, before she reached the place, she met her father and Xiaoqi. She was shocked and ran over hurriedly. âFather, whatâs wrong? Why are you crying?â
