“I will naturally investigate this matter.”
Elder Huo said casually, “Perhaps it’s because I haven’t been in charge for several years, people may think I’m old and muddle-headed. When you go back, investigate carefully. I will not let go of anyone related to this matter!”
“Also…”
Song Yaoyao vaguely sensed something and raised her head.
“Ningxi has grown up now. When I brought his father home, Yunque wasn’t even born yet. And when his father was still alive, he left a lot of things for him. He’s also very capable; not the type to lose his family fortune. I plan to give him all the things his father left for him and let him distribute them. I called you all here today to ask what you think.”
“Well…”
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
They thought that even though Elder Huo looked like he was sincerely asking for their opinions, he had probably made his decision a long time ago?
Calling them here today was actually just a formality.
So, they immediately said, “Of course, we’ll listen to you.”
“That’s a good idea. Yunque will definitely have his own children in the future. It’s time that Ningxi is independent.”
Everyone agreed. Only one person was sitting at the end with a certain look in his eyes.
“Are you done?”
Huo Yunque stood up. “Then I’ll go back and rest. Uncles, please go ahead.”
He nodded slightly with his chin and left with Song Yaoyao.
“That kid…” Elder Huo grumbled.
Song Yaoyao heaved a sigh of relief after they left the ancestral hall. She had been holding her breath inside earlier, afraid that she might say the wrong thing.
She held Huo Yunque’s arm and peeked at him from time to time.
Huo Yunque glanced at her. “What do you want to ask?”
“Huh?”
Song Yaoyao was embarrassed. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time before she finally asked.
“Gege, did Huo Ningxi do this to you…?”
“No.”
Song Yaoyao did not expect Huo Yunque to answer so directly. She was surprised. “Why are you so sure?”
Huo Yunque knew what she was thinking.
He said calmly, “He doesn’t have the ability.”
“But…” Song Yaoyao thought about Huo Ningxi’s strange behavior and pursed her lips. “How did he know you were missing? I keep feeling as though he has a connection to Zhong Li.”
What did he want to do? Kill Huo Yunque and become the head of the family?
“As expected of the woman I like.”
Song Yaoyao was still thinking when a handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her, and a pair of cold thin lips quickly pecked her mouth. “You’re quite clever.”
“You!”
Song Yaoyao covered her mouth and glared at him. “What the hell!”
She was still asking him questions. Couldn’t he act normally?
“Ha…”
Huo Yunque looked at her and could not help but laugh. He held her hand again and explained slowly as he walked, “This is why Father decided to do this.”
Huo Ningxi had crossed the Huo Family’s bottom even if Huo Yunque’s injury wasn’t directly related to him.

Heaven X Forum.
[Shocking! HNX has been kicked out of the Huo Family!]
Commenter #1: “Please clarify. Who is HNX?”
Commenter #2: “Tsk, the commenter above must be new here. He’s the one who’s been causing a commotion recently. Something about a power struggle.”
Commenter #3: “Understood in a second!”
Commenter #4: “Come on, OP! Hurry and elaborate or I will kill you!”
OP: F*ck, you guys are so fast. I just started the thread and the first post is gone? Also, I’m not making this up, it’s the truth. Believe it if you want. If you don’t believe it, then just treat it as a story. I’m just sharing this casually to make everyone laugh. Pre-warning: if anyone talks sh*t, I’ll immediately stop posting and delete this thread.”
Commenter #5: “F*ck, it’s this OP again! I’m starting to believe it.”
OP: “Previously, I also exposed other information in my posts. Those who suspect that I’m lying can go to my history to take a look. Although my family can not be compared to those big, powerful families, I still hear gossip that is not known by ordinary people. Just yesterday, I heard that HNX has already moved out of Huo Manor.”
OP: “I heard from a close friend that he has completely withdrawn from the Huo Family’s business. It seems that his father is an adopted son of the Huos. Because Elder Huo owed his grandfather a favor, after his grandfather passed away, Elder Huo brought his father home and raised him.”
Commenter #10: “Really? Since he owed them a favor, isn’t it inappropriate for him to kick HNX out at this time?”
Commenter #11: “How is it inappropriate? Raising him up and turning him into a talent, hasn’t he done enough?”
Commenter #12: “Errr, allow me to make a conspiracy theory. Since the Huos kicked him out at this juncture, does it mean that his uncle’s injury and attempted assassination was really related to him?”
Commenter #13: “F*ck! Even TV dramas wouldn’t have a plot like this! These big families are too devious and sinister!”
OP: “Don’t talk nonsense! There are some things that you should keep to yourself. I don’t want to be banned, so don’t make it too obvious.”
Commenter #15: “Understood.”
Commenter #16: “Let us shield you, OP.”
OP: “If you doubt me, don’t come and ask me if it’s true. Do your own research and find out for yourself. Things like this can’t be hidden. But, I must clarify that the Huos didn’t mistreat him. His father’s inheritance was all given to him. Even if he didn’t do anything from now on, he could live a life of luxury and comfort.”
Commenter #18: “I’m jealous.”
Commenter #19: “Me too.”
…
“F*ck, your man is so cool!”
The exams were approaching so Tang Xinrou had turned down a few jobs to prepare.
“Do you want me to donate a speakerphone to you?” Song Yaoyao looked at her helplessly.
“Ahem…”
Tang Xinrou touched her nose embarrassedly. “I was just excited and couldn’t control myself.” She lowered her voice and leaned over to Song Yaoyao’s side, sticking close to her. She asked, “Is this true?”
“It can’t be any more true.”
“F*ck.” Even though she already knew and got a definite answer from Song Yaoyao, she still couldn’t believe it. “Just like that? He kicked him out?”
“By the way, about your Gege…”
“It’s not him.”
Anyone who knew about this would immediately associate it with Huo Yunque. But before Tang Xinrou could finish her question, Song Yaoyao interrupted her.
“How do you know? What if…”
“Gege said so.” Song Yaoyao drew a full stop in her book, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. “He won’t lie to me.”
“Eek…”
Tang Xinrou couldn’t take it anymore and rubbed her arms, making the gesture of picking up something on the table.
Song Yaoyao asked, “What are you doing?”
Tang Xinrou concentrated. “I’m picking up the goosebumps I dropped on the table. You’re being too mushy!”
Song Yaoyao: “…”
Teasing was just teasing. Tang Xinrou looked at Song Yaoyao, who had regained her vigor and vitality, and felt gratified in her heart.
She didn’t want to see Song Yaoyao’s lifeless appearance anymore. That one time had already scared her half to death, and those few days felt like years to Tang Xinrou.
