Rong Dai was surprised that the first thing he did when he came back was to explain to her why he didn't reply to her message. She couldn't help feeling warmth in her heart, and all the worries from last night vanished instantly.
She had a faint smile on her face: "It's okay."
Huo Shao Ting nodded, then his sharp gaze fell on Huo Linjing.
Huo Linjing shuddered, huddling with Jiang Qiaoqing. Her face was pale white, her eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look at Huo Shao Ting.
"Huo Linjing, you want to settle accounts with my wife?" His voice was mellow, his tone very flat and light.
But those familiar with him knew that the calmer and more indifferent he appeared, the more miserable the other person's fate would be.
"I...I didn't..." Huo Linjing stammered an explanation.
Seeing Huo Linjing's appearance, Rong Dai couldn't help chuckling to herself.
The cowering, chick-like appearance was a far cry from her previous arrogance and impetuousness.
As expected, the greedy are often taken advantage of, and careless riders often fall from their horses.
"No?" His voice suddenly rose dangerously!
Huo Linjing shivered, huddling tightly next to Jiang Qiaoqing.
Jiang Qiaoqing's face was also white. She wanted to seek help from her husband, but he sat on the sofa like an ostrich, silent, not even raising his head.
Needless to say about Huo Shaoming, who had obediently stood against the wall without even daring to breathe loudly.
"Big brother, we were a little abrupt, but since you and sister-in-law got married without telling us, we could only come to visit."
Huo Shaoqian explained with an insincere smile.
Huo Shao Ting's sharp gaze fell on him, and a faint smile appeared on his cold, stern face: "Visit? I and the people living in this mansion have never welcomed your visit."
Huo Shaoqian did not expect him to still be as domineering as before. His face stiffened slightly.
"Huo, I still call you Huo now and give you this face. I was young at that time, but it doesn't mean I have forgotten. "
"Now that I am willing to give you a meal, you'd better tuck your tails and live properly, stay out of my sight, and don't upset me."
"Also, Huo Shaoqian, don't think I don't know what you are doing in the branch company. You still have time to meddle in Wen's business when I was dealing with things last night? I think you can go back to the branch company and take a look first."
"You know very well what projects you have invested in Suzhou. Hitting such an obvious target, yet you still want to collide forward, what qualifications do you have to compete with me?"
Huo Shao Ting shielded Rong Dai behind him, standing upright like a strong pine on a rocky peak.
Although his tone was calm when he spoke, it was full of authority, oppressing Huo Shaoqian so that he could not breathe.
When he heard the word "Suzhou", Huo Shaoqian's face changed drastically. He hurriedly took out his phone to call his assistant.
Just then his assistant's call came in. He glanced at Huo Shao Ting anxiously and hurried aside to answer the call.
"Huo Feng, I have never forgotten the grudges from decades ago for a second. Back then you emptied Huo's Enterprise, leaving only an empty shell, watching my father at his wits' end."
"You have already taken everything from the original Huo's Enterprise. Today's Huo's Enterprise has nothing to do with you at all. If you want to make headlines again, I can satisfy you. I can pay out of my own pocket to buy exclusive coverage from all of Shenjing's media, giving you a different expose every month, what do you think? "
After dealing with Huo Shaoqian, he turned his gaze to Huo Feng.
He had no scruples, directly calling out his name.
Although Rong Dai was standing behind him, she could clearly feel the hatred and resentment emanating from Huo Shao Ting.
She instinctively reached out and took his warm palm, although she could not imagine everything he had experienced, she could clearly feel the turmoil in his heart at this moment.
She felt heartache for the man in front of her.
When he grasped her soft and fragile palm, he tightened his grip and took a deep breath, controlling his emotions.
Hearing his words, Huo Feng's old eyes widened in shock, staring at him for a long time, unable to say a word.
"Huo Shaoting! What on earth have you done?!"
After finishing the call, Huo Shaoqian was furious and completely lost his composure, shouting at him, but didn't dare come forward, as he was much shorter than Huo Shaoting.
Huo Shaoting was nearly six feet three inches tall, while Huo Shaoqian was only slightly taller than Rong Dai, a whole head shorter.
"Made you my enemy."
Huo Shaoting answered indifferently. He started unbuttoning his suit jacket, leading Rong Dai to sit down on a dining room chair, then ordered Uncle Li, "Throw away this sofa and get a new one. This house will have none of their belongings, I want it clean."
"You!" Huo Shaoqian was so angry that his face turned green, staring at him with great hatred!
But Huo Shaoting couldn't be bothered with him. Instead, his gaze fell on Huo Feng, "More than twenty years ago, this is how you treated my dad. Now I'm returning it in kind. From today on, Huo's Enterprise will have no relationship with you at all."
Huo Feng's face kept turning green and white. His old eyes stared tightly at him, and the hand holding the cane kept shaking.
"This time if you hadn't been in such a hurry to help the Wen family, maybe I wouldn't have acted so quickly. Huo Shaoqian, this game was over for you from the moment you invested in that Suzhou project. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Huo Shaoting's tone was cold, emanating a ruthless aura.
Sitting next to him, others may not feel it, but Rong Dai could sense the hatred and anger in his heart.
She could only hold his hand tightly, trying to give him some strength.
"Huo Shaoting! I'm also part of the Huo family, what right do you have to..."
"Right? You're talking to me about rights? You eat from my hand and talk to me about rights?"
Huo Shaoting was overbearing. His words made Huo Shaoqian almost spit blood!
"Grandpa!" Huo Feng suddenly convulsed, while Huo Shaoming just wanted to escape. Seeing Huo Feng collapse, he immediately rushed over.
Rong Dai frowned, the old man looked like he was...having a stroke.
"Take him away. Deal with the rest. Huo Shaojie, if you let these people break in again next time, I'll send you to Africa to film documentaries, believe it or not?"
Huo Shaoting's eyes were cold as he glared at Huo Shaojie.
Huo Shaojie tensed up immediately and busied himself. An ambulance had been waiting outside, so Old Master Huo was carried away quickly.
Huo Shaoqian still had to go deal with the branch company affairs, while the remaining few didn't even have the courage to face Huo Shaoting, so of course they also slunk away dejectedly.
The noisy Huo mansion quieted down again.
Rong Dai realized her hand was being gripped a little too tightly by him. Looking over, she saw exhaustion on his face, probably from being sleepless all night.
"Shaoting, go upstairs to take a shower, I'll make breakfast for you."
