After Huo Heng left the airport, a group of people arrived at the company.
Huo Heng received another big project.
Huo Yuan asked Huo Heng to bring the team to the meeting room.
After listening to Huo Heng’s project report, Huo Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
“I used to think that you weren’t cut out for business, but over the past few years, you’ve become more and more capable. Now, I can say that you’re a business genius!”
Huo Heng’s handsome face was unusually calm, and no one could tell what he was feeling. “Thank you for your praise, Dad.”
Huo Yuan patted Huo Heng’s arm. “Alright, you must be tired.. Go back and rest early. The shareholders’ meeting is in a few days, and I’ll announce that you’ll be the president of the corporation.”
Ye Hongming stood outside the chairman’s office. He opened the door slightly and heard Huo Yuan’s words.
Huo Yuan was going to announce Huo Heng as the president of the corporation at the shareholders’ meeting?
Then what was he?
After all these years, he was still a vice president!
Ye Hongming was indignant!
Although Huo Heng had made a lot of contributions to the company in the past few years, he had spent all his time drinking and partying, not knowing anything except squandering his life away. Hadn’t he been the one who guarded the company and created profits for it?
Ye Hongming closed the door with a dark expression. He walked back to his office and called Ye Shuangshuang.
Ye Shuangshuang came out of the hospital and answered the call. “Hongming, why are you looking for me?”
“Sis, Huo Yuan will announce Huo Heng as the president of the shareholders’ meeting.”
“What? He wants his prodigal son to be the CEO?” Ye Shuangshuang’s expression turned ugly. Her other hand, which was not holding her phone, touched her abdomen. “I won’t let him succeed.”
“Sister, what else can we do? Half a year ago, when the old woman fell down the stairs, you deliberately tried to make Jian Yi look bad, but you still couldn’t get the prodigal out of the company…”
“Alright, don’t mention that incident from half a year ago again. Anyway, my method this time will definitely make Jian Yi and the prodigal son unable to turn things around!”
…
Huo Heng didn’t go home immediately.
He worked for nearly another hour until his butler called.
The moment the call went through, Huo Heng heard heart-wrenching cries.
Huo Heng leaned back against the chair, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “What is it?”
“Young Master, Madam had an argument with Madam Ye just now. Madam slapped Madam Ye and she fell to the ground and bled a lot. I’m afraid…”
A month ago, Ye Shuangshuang found out that she was pregnant with a second child.
Huo Yuan was naturally happy to have another son in his middle age. He had doted on Ye Shuangshuang for the past month!
Huo Heng’s handsome jaw tightened. He hung up the phone, took his car keys, and left the office.
Ye Shuangshuang was sent to the hospital.
When Huo Heng arrived at the hospital, Huo Yuan was arguing with Jian Yi.
“If anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off!”
Jian Yi said, “She’ll suffer a miscarriage just from a slap? Do you think she’s made of paper?”
Seeing Huo Heng walk over, Jian Yi pulled him aside. “What are you doing here? This is a grudge between your mother and that woman. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t come here!”
With one hand in his pocket, Huo Heng raised his long eyebrows. “What happened?”
“I was going to the company to deliver food to you, but I accidentally touched that woman’s car when I was turning the corner. When she got out of the car, she shouted at me, saying that I was the jinx that caused your grandmother to have a stroke, and that I’m an old woman who was abandoned by her husband. I was so angry that I slapped her. Who knew that she would fall to the ground?”
“Mother, it seems like you’ve fallen into her trap again.”
Jian Yi’s eyes widened. “Heng’er, what did you say?”
“It’s nothing. I’ll handle this matter, as well as what happened to Grandma half a year ago.” Huo Heng glanced at the operating theater. If he guessed correctly, the child in Ye Shuangshuang’s stomach would definitely be gone after she fell.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the doctor came out and told Huo Yuan, “Mr. Huo, we couldn’t save Mrs. Huo’s child.”
Huo Yuan’s expression darkened. He turned around and looked in the direction of Jian Yi.
The look in his eyes was so cold that even Huo Heng, who was standing next to her, felt a little shaken.
First, it was his mother. Now, it was his son. Was this vicious woman, Jian Yi, trying to ruin his family?
Ye Shuangshuang was pushed out of the operating theater.
She was already awake.
Tears filled her face. When she saw Huo Yuan, she screamed uncontrollably, “My baby, my baby…”
She cried sadly and mournfully.
Huo Yuan looked at Ye Shuangshuang, who was about to faint from crying. He held her hand and said, “Shuangshuang, the child is gone. You can always have another child in the future.”
“You’re weak now. You can’t get emotional.”
From the corner of her eye, Ye Shuangshuang saw Jian Yi and Huo Heng. She cried even harder. “Sister Jian, why did you harm my child? How did I offend you? Brother Yuan and I are truly in love. Why can’t you let him go?”
“You harmed my mother-in-law and my child. Sister Jian, are you so evil?”
Huo Heng shot a sharp glance at Ye Shuangshuang. “Shut up!”
Huo Yuan looked at Huo Heng with disappointment in his eyes. “I thought you had learned how to do business and how to be a good person. I didn’t expect you to still be like this. You’ve disappointed me! Let’s leave this place. Shuangshuang will be in a bad mood with you guys around.”
Jian Yi pulled Huo Heng and pushed him back. “This is between me and Ye Shuangshuang. Why are you interrupting? Leave quickly. Don’t anger your dad!”
“He was bewitched by a vixen and turned senile!”
Huo Yuan pointed his finger at Huo Heng angrily. “You… get lost!”
Huo Heng smirked and left without another word.
Jian Yi chased after Huo Heng.
After Jian Yi and Huo Heng left, Ye Shuangshuang held Huo Yuan’s hand. “Old Master, don’t be angry at Huo Heng. If he’s like this now, I don’t know what will happen to him when he becomes the president in a few days. At that time, he will look down on you even more!”
“Don’t you think that the mother and son are too arrogant? First, they harmed your mother, and now, they harmed your son. Will you be the next one…”
Huo Yuan froze.
…
Jian Yi chased after Huo Heng at the entrance of the hospital.
“Heng’er, you’ve worked so hard for the past two years to get to where you are today. Why are you speaking to your father with that kind of attitude? The shareholders’ meeting is coming up soon. Do you want your two years of hard work to go down the drain?”
Huo Heng narrowed his long and narrow amorous eyes as his lips curled into an incomprehensible smile. “Mom, I was just afraid that Ye Shuangshuang wouldn’t make a move. Now that she has, things will be easier. Just you wait, in a few days, the Huo family will no longer have someone like Ye Shuangshuang.”
“Really? After you settle Ye Shuangshuang and Ye Hongming, quickly get me my daughter-in-law!”
