C583 Their Family Have Very Few Children
Chen Xinran could only hear what happened after from the news or friends' mouths. She had never seen him again.
However, she could not forget that if she did not have this man in the past, she might still have thought in her heart. It was because she once had this man that she became even more greedy.
She wanted more. Even though that kiss back then was like a dragonfly brushing against the water, it made her remember the smell of his body forever. The breath he breathed out was so good, it made people's blood boil.
And that night in the hotel, she went from excitement to anxiety and disappointment.
Actually, if Jian Yun knew what Huo Liancheng did to Chen Xinran, she would definitely scold him for being a scumbag. He did not like Chen Xinran. He even went to the hotel with her, went in and out, and even ran away. This behavior was too scumbag.
But to Chen Xinran, from the beginning until the end, she did not hate Huo Liancheng. She only blamed herself for not being good enough and not being able to attract him. That instant of entry also became her eternal memory.
This kind of thought grew like wild grass all these years, tightly binding her heart. She could not walk out and could only desperately climb up. She wanted to be the most dazzling star in the world. She thought that this way, he would be able to see her and she would be able to approach him again.
However, all of her efforts and thoughts were like a balloon flying into the sky when she saw the news of Huo Liancheng getting married. It exploded.
"Miss Chen, don't make your friend worry!" Jian Yun suddenly felt that it was very boring. She lifted her chin and signaled Chen Xinran. That blond, blue-eyed, and handsome foreign man walked over.
Chen Xinran lowered her head as if she was trying hard to calm herself down.
Jian Yun looked at the orange juice that she had drunk halfway and felt a little sick. Suddenly, she did not want to drink anymore and got up, "I'm leaving!"
Chen Xinran still did not give up and stood up, "Miss Jian, I still hope that you can consider it!"
Jian Yun looked at her deeply and did not say a word. She turned around and left without hiding the ridicule and coldness in her eyes.
Zhang Yong immediately followed behind her.
In the shop, Weisen walked to Chen Xinran's side but his eyes looked at Jian Yun's back outside the door, "Annie, is she Huo's wife?"
Chen Xinran sat down dejectedly and nodded tiredly.
"She's very beautiful!" Wei Sen sat on Jian Yun's seat just now. The smile on his face was very faint. His green eyes looked at Chen Xinran but shone with an inexplicable light. He said, "What did you talk about with her just now? You guys don't seem to be happy."
"It's none of your business!" Chen Xinran was in a bad mood and her tone was not good either.
Weisen did not mind. He said, "You asked me out today, isn't it because of Huo Liancheng?"
Chen Xinran's fingers froze. She bit her lower lip and her tone softened. "Wei Sen, aren't you friends with him? Don't you want to help him?"
Weisen shrugged. He said, "Based on my understanding of Huo, helping him is an insult to him!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Xinran frowned and did not understand. As far as she knew, the Huo Family was now under Huo Chengfeng's control. At the same time, she also spread the news to the outside world. He was not only Huo Liancheng's half-brother. His father was Huo Xiangqian's half-brother. Therefore, he was Old Master Huo's grandson.
It sounded complicated, but it shocked everyone.
In this way, Huo Chengfeng's status was very noble. The Huo Family had a tradition of the eldest son inheriting the family business. Old Master Huo did not know why he did not say anything, as if he had tacitly approved of Huo Chengfeng's identity. According to the current situation, this matter was very disadvantageous to Huo Liancheng because even his biological parents did not support him...
Weisen did not explain further. He was slightly interested in Chen Xinran, but this woman was too cold and clearly liked Huo Liancheng. He tried to express goodwill to Chen Xinran several times, but Chen Xinran ignored him. He also did not have the patience.
Today, however, he saw Huo Liancheng hiding his wife very well.
The corner of Wilson's mouth curled up into a smile. He reached out to cover his chest. He felt as if he had been shot in the heart.
Jian Yun came out of the milk tea shop. Zhang Yong gave her a thumbs up at that time. "Miss Jian is really good at scolding people. That model lady can't control her expression anymore."
"You know her?" Jian Yun asked.
"I was bored and took a photo of her. I searched online." Zhang Yong grinned.
"You are so bored!" Jian Yun rolled her eyes.
"I am very bored!" Zhang Yong pursed his lips and stretched his arms to stretch his muscles. "I'm a bitch. I've been working on a big case for several months. I can't live a good life outside. Sometimes I just sleep in the car for one night. I eat bread and instant noodles for three meals a day. At that time, I thought that when the case is solved, I must sleep well for three days and three nights. Then I will take a month off and go out to relax."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yong glanced at Jian Yun and continued, "But when I really rest, I feel uncomfortable all over. I feel like my bones are itching."
"Just scratch me if you feel itchy." Jian Yun said coldly.
"Haha!" Zhang Yong laughed. "Miss Jian, actually, I think I know why Young Master Huo likes you."
"Do you know him?" Jian Yun glanced at Zhang Yong.
"Not really. I've only seen him a few times in the Liao Family." Zhang Yong seemed to be very interested in this topic. "My mom has some relations with the Liao Family, but she's not close to them. I work under Division Chief Liao. Sometimes, whenever there's a gathering in the Liao Family, they would ask me to attend."
Jian Yun nodded and did not say anything. She just walked forward aimlessly.
Zhang Yong was a chatterbox. Jian Yun had ignored him for the past few days. He could also chat with the maids in the Huo Family. Today, he finally had the chance to talk to Jian Yun. He would not let go of this opportunity.
"Actually, there are some things that you might not know." Zhang Yong really liked Jian Yun. Although they had only known each other for a few days, he felt that Jian Yun's character was really good. She was pretty and kept a low profile. Moreover, the servants of Huo Family had high opinions of this Young Madam. He wanted to give her a few words.
"I don't know too many things!" Jian Yun also knew that Huo Liancheng hid a lot of things from her. In the past, she had thought about why he did not take her to see his family and friends and would rather stay with her in a place like Qing Hu. After these things happened, she understood that his situation was far from being as glorious as the outside world knew.
Zhang Yong did not mind Jian Yun's coldness. He suddenly said in a deep voice, "You should have heard about the Huo Family as well. Then have you ever thought about how Huo Chengfeng was so arrogant for so many years? Why didn't Old Master Huo control him despite knowing that it might be a hidden danger? Why didn't he even let him go?"
Jian Yun heard him and stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Zhang Yong. She had heard too much about the Huo Family recently, but it was mostly about Huo Liancheng's situation. She had also wondered about Old Master Huo's status and ability, even though she had only met him once. However, it was impossible for Old Master Huo to just sit by and watch the internal strife in the family. However, she had placed all her attention on Huo Liancheng, so she did not think too much about it.
Could it be that there was some secret inside?
Zhang Yong saw that Jian Yun was interested and he did not keep it in suspense. He said, "Because there are very few children in the Huo Family. For hundreds of years, there has only been one child in each generation. This phenomenon only applies to the Huo parents' room - the family that inherited the position of the family head."
"There is such a thing?" Jian Yun frowned.
Zhang Yong shrugged. "Some people said they were cursed. Some people said it was superstitious, but... In any case, there had always been only one man in the Huo family house, but it was an indisputable fact.
Before Huo Zhihui married the Liao Family, he had a fiancée. His family also did business. However, he couldn't compare with the Huo Family. However, the Huo Family wasn't as rich as they were now. That woman and Huo Zhihui were childhood sweethearts, and they had a very good relationship.
However, when Huo Zhihui fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Liao Family, he broke off the engagement with that woman. To the public, he only said that the woman was a servant of his family. Because he had proposed to that woman privately, not many people knew about this matter.
Moreover, what the outside world knew was only the love history of the rich. Then, it was the marriage between the Liao and Huo families. With the support of the Liao Family, the Huo Family had grown stronger over the years. Soon, their family had accumulated a lot of assets and gradually migrated some of their assets overseas. At that time, Huo Zhihui was probably already planning for Huo Chengfeng.
About ten years ago, Huo Chengfeng suddenly appeared. After that, the Huo Family was no longer peaceful. It was only then that the old mistress realized that the woman was pregnant. Huo Zhihui arranged for her to marry someone and give birth to a child. It was just that the child was weak and sickly, but it was very talented and attracted a proud daughter like Shen Faangqi. "Later on, I think you should know that the two brothers fell in love with the same woman."
Jian Yun's eyes darkened," So, the reason why Huo Chengfeng was able to gradually grow his wings and be able to cover the sky in Huo's was actually all because of Old Master Huo's acquiescence. "
Zhang Yong gave Jian Yun a thumbs up and smiled. "Smart!"
"So many years, only Huo Zhihui has two sons. One can imagine how much importance he will attach to this bloodline." Zhang Yong added, then shrugged his shoulders. With a face full of disdain, he said," However, he is afraid of offending the Liao Family. After all, the Huo Family is unable to leave the Liao Family today. He continued, " That's why he kept it a secret and pretended to not care about anything and let Shen Faangqi take the blame. Madam Shen is Young Master Huo's birth mother. Young Master Huo can't do anything to her, so he endured it all these years. "
"It sounds complicated." Jian Yun let out a breath. She did not know why Zhang Yong wanted to tell her these things, but it did not sound fake. However, no matter what his purpose was, it solved some of the doubts in her heart.
"Wealthy families are trouble. So the lives of commoners are more comfortable!" Zhang Yong smiled meaningfully.
"Isn't there a rumor that Old Master Huo went missing this time? Is it also related to Huo Chengfeng?" Jian Yun asked.
"Who else?" Zhang Yong suddenly sneered. His originally heroic face was full of ridicule. He said, "Old Master Huo would never have thought that the ingrate he raised would bite back. He thought he had done enough, but the ingrate did not appreciate it at all. Instead, he felt that Old Master Huo was in his way. He thought Old Master Huo owed him, so the entire Huo Family should be his!"
Jian Yun was silent. She remembered what Huo Chengfeng said when he went to school to look for her. That man was full of hostility. The more he got, the more greedy he was.
But then Jian Yun frowned and looked at Zhang Yong suspiciously. "How do you know so much?"
Zhang Yong laughed. "Didn't I just say that my mother was related to the Liao Family? The old lady of the Liao Family liked my mother very much. These things were heard by my mother from the old lady of the Liao Family."
"I see..." Jian Yun narrowed her eyes. She suddenly felt like a fool. No matter who it was, she did not know them at all. She still needed to find out from others.
As if he knew what Jian Yun was thinking, Zhang Yong smiled and continued, "The old master of Liao Family, Old General Liao Zhongrong, is the founding general. He is 99 years old this year. He has two sons and one daughter. He continued, "His daughter is Old Madam Huo. One of Liao Zhongrong's sons is in the army and the other is in politics. Liao Zhongrong has reached this age. You don't need me to tell you about his status. I won't say his name. "Just look at the news and you will know..."
Jian Yun heard Zhang Yong introduce the Liao Family and roughly understood who the people in the Liao Family were.
Generally speaking, the Liao Family was very powerful. They had four generals in their family, not to mention the high ranking officials in other departments and the elites from all walks of life. It could be said that this was the true Wealthy Class. It was not comparable to a Wealthy Class family like the Huo Family, which was just a pile of money.
It was no wonder that Old Master Huo wanted to marry the Liao Family. The benefits he and the Huo Family had obtained from this marriage was immeasurable. Now, the problem was here. Old Master Huo was secretly indulging Huo Chengfeng. It was obvious that he had offended the Liao Family. Would the Liao Family attack the Huo Family?
Now, it all depended on Granny Liao's attitude. However, Liao Shibing had also said that the entire Huo Family only recognized Huo Liancheng.
It seemed like the Liao Family had given up on the Huo Family. She just didn't know why they wanted Huo Liancheng to marry the Mu Family. Since they didn't care about the Huo Family, why did they want to ally with the Mu Family? The Mu Family wasn't any better than the Huo Family.
"Is Miss Jian wondering why the Liao Family wanted Huo Liancheng to marry the young miss of the Mu Family?" Zhang Yong seemed to know how to read minds. Looking at Jian Yun's expression, he knew what she was thinking.
Jian Yun touched her face for some reason. "Is it that obvious?"
"Haha, no, no. It's just that I went to university to study criminal psychology. After dealing with criminals for so many years, I especially know how to read people's minds." Zhang Yong quickly waved his hand and realized that what he said was not right. He quickly corrected himself. "Miss Jian, I am just making an analogy. I am not saying that you are a criminal!"
Jian Yun rolled her eyes. She naturally did not mind. Furthermore, she now had a feeling that Zhang Yong seemed to be deliberately telling her these things.
"Do you know the Liao Family's intention?"
"Guess. I know how to guess people's hearts the most. Now that Great-grandfather has retired, he doesn't need to be in charge anymore. All of them are in charge of the Liao Family's boss, while Boss Liao is the most stubborn. He keeps his word. Young Master Huo has never been close to his parents since he was young. Old lady Huo has always let the Liao Family raise him. Boss Liao taught him personally because he wanted to arrange for Young Master Huo to join the army. In the end, the Huo Family didn't agree."
