When Huo Lian heard this, she suddenly took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Tao. She said unhappily, “Second Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you going to chase me out of the Huo family?”
Huo Tao pinched the space between his eyebrows helplessly and explained lightly, “Sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Look at you running to the Huo family every other day. Those who don’t know might think that you’ve suffered some grievances in your in-law’s family. If these words are spread by outsiders, the Huo family naturally won’t gossip about it, but if your sisters-in-law hear it, I don’t know how they will criticize you. It won’t affect you well.”
When Huo Lian heard this, her hands clenched into fists ruthlessly. She gritted her teeth in anger. “Sure, I get it. You guys are sincerely trying to chase me out of the Huo family!”
She turned to look at Old Master Huo, and Huo Lian put on a wronged expression. “Dad, look at how these people are forcing your daughter. You have to get justice for me. We can’t let them continue talking like this. Are you going to chase me out of the Huo family too?”
After so many years, Old Master Huo had already seen Huo Lian’s true colors. He sat on the sofa and calmly drank his tea. “I can’t help you much. Ever since your brother got married, I’ve handed the Huo family’s business to Man’er. Now, everything in the Huo family is under your sister-in-law’s control. If she wants you to stay, you have to. If she wants you to leave, you have to leave.”
“Hmph.” Upon hearing Old Master’s words, Huo Lian understood that he had already made up his mind not to speak up for her. She stomped her feet ruthlessly, glared at the crowd coldly, turned around, and ran out the door.
Seeing Huo Lian leave, Huo Tao cleared his throat awkwardly. He waved his hand and took the initiative to take two steps forward to look at Old Master Huo. “It’s getting late. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved and the matter has been mostly resolved, I won’t disturb Dad, Brother, and Sister-in-law from resting. Everyone, sleep early.”
After saying this, before Old Master Huo could nod, Huo Tao hurriedly waved at the crowd in the hall and immediately turned around to walk towards the door.
After everyone left one after another, Old Master Huo instructed everyone to return to their rooms to rest as he was tired.
The next morning, Mo Zhu woke up very early. Thinking that she had an appointment with the Gao family, she and Huo Xuan drove straight to the Gao family after lunch.
Because they had discussed the time in advance, when the two of them arrived at the Gao family, Gao Rong was already dressed neatly and waiting respectfully at the Gao family’s entrance.
Now that he saw Mo Zhu push open the car door and get out of the car, he quickly walked up to her. “Ms. Mo, my second uncle has been waiting for you inside for a long time.”
There was barely any emotion in Mo Zhu’s eyes as she nodded indifferently, signaling Gao Rong to lead the way.
Gao Rong didn’t speak when he saw this. He brought the two of them straight into the house. Halfway there, Mo Zhu suddenly stopped and said to Huo Xuan, who was following behind her, “I’ll go myself. Wait for me in the main hall.”
When Huo Xuan heard Mo Zhu’s words, he nodded obediently. He raised his hand and gently touched the girl’s hair. He replied softly, “Alright, I’ll wait for you in the main hall. If there’s anything, just call me.”
Gao Rong, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between the two of them and immediately instructed the servants in the house. “Make a pot of good tea and bring Young Master Huo to the main hall to rest.”
After saying that, he bent down and continued to lead the way for Mo Zhu.
The Gao family’s mansion was not in the famous wealthy district in Beijing. The decorations in the mansion were very elegant and did not reveal the extravagance of the rich. Compared to the other noble families, it was rather elegant and pleasant.
As the room was not very spacious, the two of them arrived at Gao Qing’s door after taking a few steps. Gao Rong stopped and tidied up his clothes slightly. He raised his hand and knocked lightly. “Second Uncle, Ms. Mo has arrived.”
After a while, the person inside coughed twice. After a rustling sound, a weak voice came. “Please come in, Ms.. Mo.”
