Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 889 - Mr. Nangong’s Visit



Chapter 889: Mr. Nangong’s Visit

Edward had not expected Huo Pei to kick him out again without even resisting. He knew that this was the end. He endured the pain and stood up to run.

However, just as he reached the door, he was kicked into the house again by someone. With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground once more. There were a few crisp sounds. He did not know which bone had cracked, but intense pain enveloped him. He finally understood what it meant by even fainting was a kind of luxury.

After An Yan kicked him away, he looked toward the crowd in embarrassment. “Sorry, I was rude. Please forgive me, Old Master Huo.”

That guy had nearly bumped into the Third Master just now. After a glance, he realized that it was that swindler who had pretended to be a prince and come to the Huo Family to cheat them.

Upon seeing the young lady crying with constant sobs in the house, Jun Shiyan’s heart ached suddenly. He walked over anxiously, but the young lady was leaning in the Old Master’s embrace. He could not do anything.

Huo Ci glared at him in disdain. He had come quite quickly. Had he run over immediately after the call?

Jun Shiyan only had to take a look at the living room to know roughly what was going on. He called for An Yan.

An Yan walked forward and passed the information in his hand to him.

“Grandpa, this is the information I found. Please take a look.” Jun Shiyan personally handed over Edward’s personal information.

He had originally wanted to bring the young lady to his side while Huo Xiao was reading the materials and ask her about the specific situation.

However, Huo Ci had already pulled Ling Sheng away first and separated the two of them. He even gave him a warning glare, showing him a bad attitude.

Jun Shiyan let out a low sigh. Then, he saw the young lady turn around quietly and sneak a look at him. She smiled brightly and even stuck out her tongue mischievously. He finally felt relieved, knowing that she must be cooperating with the act.

Huo Xuanzhou had long known that Edward was a swindler, but he had not printed out the details. He gave him a contemptuous look. This scumbag Old Jun sure knew how to please others!

After Huo Xiao finished reading the information, he flew into a rage and threw it right on Fourth Son Huo Li’s face. He pointed at the couple, “Look, take a good look yourselves! You two raised a good daughter! She dares to bring anyone home! Look at it yourselves!”

Huo Li and Xiao Hui were already feeling guilty. When they saw the information, they were so angry that their lungs exploded. Their hearts were burning with fury, and they blamed it all on Jun Shiyan. Why was he meddling in other people’s business? This was their Huo Family’s business, not his Gu Family’s!

“Father, we didn’t know either!” What else could Huo Li do? He could only pretend to be stupid to the end. Who would have known that this Edward would pretend to be a prince and come to the Huo Family to defraud them?

“Father, Feifei didn’t know that this scumbag is a swindler either!” Xiao Hui started wiping her tears away immediately. She hugged Huo Feifei and pretended to cry. “Our Feifei… Poor Feifei! She’s already suffering from being deceived, yet she still has to receive a scolding! What kind of sin have I committed to be punished like this?!”

Huo Xiao hated people weeping endlessly in front of him the most. He did not even want to look at the trash on the ground anymore. He ordered Huo Ci, “Get him out of here! Get him out of here!”

Huo Li was so angry that he also rushed over to thrash Edward. “You lied to my daughter, my Huo Family, and framed my younger brother. I’ll beat you to death today, you beast!”

Huo Feifei was already dumbfounded. When she had heard Huo Xuanzhou say that he was a swindler, she had still been able to comfort herself that he was lying. However, when she had seen the specific information, her heart had instantly hit rock bottom. She stood rooted to the ground without moving. Her eyes were lowered slightly, and hatred and jealousy boiled in them.

Why?

Why did the heavens do this to her?

What right did that little b*stard Ling Sheng have to possess such an outstanding man like the Third Master?!

She had gone around in circles, thinking that she had hit the jackpot. However, she had discovered that all her efforts had been in vain. There was nothing left. She had nothing now!

She hated! She hated the unfairness of the heavens!

Ling Sheng could receive the best treatment as soon as she came to the Huo Family. She would be able to put her name in the Huo Family’s genealogy and enter the Huo Family’s ancestral hall with the men at home. The very place that she, Huo Feifei, had dreamed of stepping into!

As for her? In all these years, she had been doing her part cautiously and conscientiously, doing everything she should as the granddaughter of the Huo Family. However, the Old Master had never taken her seriously or looked her straight in the eyes.

Her name had never been included in the Huo Family genealogical record, and she was not allowed to step foot in the Huo Family ancestral hall either!

Compared to the blow that Edward had dealt her with as a swindler, she was even more disheartened. She resented all of them for not taking her seriously!

Even when she had found a prince to bring him, they appeared to compliment her on the surface, but they actually still hadn’t taken her seriously!

Edward was a habitual criminal, swindler, and fugitive who was wanted by a good several countries as a joint arrest. In the end, when he was taken away by the National Security Bureau, he was still shouting that he was not from China, so the Chinese legal institutions had no right to arrest or try him at court.

Huo Feifei seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She did not say anything and was taken away by Xiao Hui in a trance.

Upon seeing that the matter was over, Huo Pei shot his son a look and prepared to slip away. He would delay it as long as he could. He would plead for leniency with the Old Master when he had the chance.

Anyway, he absolutely wouldn’t hand over the jewelry business in his hands to Sixth Brother. He definitely wouldn’t kneel down to that scumbag Sixth Brother either!

Huo Xuanzhou blocked the entrance and smiled politely. “Fifth Uncle, where are you going?”

Huo Pei’s face was ashen as he glared at the person who had ruined his plan. “You’re Huo Ci’s lackey!”

“Fifth Uncle, you flatter me.” Huo Xuanzhou seemed quite proud as he shouted to the front, “Grandpa, Fifth Uncle wants to run! I’ve caught him for you.”

Huo Xiao was full of anger as he bellowed angrily, “Where do you think you’re going? A monk may run away but the temple remains[1]! Get back here!”

Huo Ci sat on the sofa with a languid look with his legs crossed and a smile on his lips. When he saw Huo Pei walk over with a dark face, he tapped the table with his fingers. “Fifth Brother, kneel. Father already said that this will have to happen sooner or later.”

Huo Pei’s face was scarily dark. After glaring at Huo Ci ferociously, he knelt in front of Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin with a thud. He did not care about his dignity anymore and started wailing. “Father, Mother, I know my mistake now. That jewelry business is the only business I have. If I give it to Sixth Brother, how will I survive in the future?”

He held it in until his chest felt like it was about to explode. He hated Huo Ci to the core. The latter was the one who had tampered with the railing, but in the end, he had to apologize and give up the assets he had! Was there still any justice in this world?!

The only profitable business in his hand was the jewelry business. He definitely wouldn’t give it to Sixth Brother. No matter what method he used, he would not give it to him!

Huo Ci was so angry that he laughed. F*ck, he knew that he was a spineless debt dodger, but did he really think he would let him go if he begged for mercy?

In the past, when his parents had helped to plead for mercy, he had been magnanimous enough not to stoop to his level. However, this time, it wouldn’t work. It was useless no matter who pleaded for mercy!

Jun Shiyan stood beside Ling Sheng and poked her secretly with his fingers to ‘ask’ her what had happened.

Ling Sheng whispered in his ear and briefly told him about Cao Yunxian’s fall and her father’s bet with Fifth Uncle.

Huo Ci had been paying attention to the duo the whole time. When he saw the duo slowly move close to each other while standing, his eyes blazed as he looked at Ling Sheng. “Sit over here!”

Ling Sheng did not want to sit there from the bottom of her heart. That was the center of the battle. Her Fifth Uncle was kneeling on the ground. What did she look like if she were to sit there? It was terrifying. She did not want to be dragged into it.

However, since her father had spoken, she could only shift there, taking her own sweet time. She wanted to call Jun Shiyan over, but after being glared at by her father as a warning, she wilted and sat up straight like a primary school student.

“Father, Mother, help me plead with Sixth Brother for mercy. I know I was wrong. You guys know that I’m a gambler too. When my gambling addiction kicks in, I just get hot-headed. I don’t know anything anymore,” Huo Pei complained tearfully.

What else could he do? No matter how angry he was, he had to put this aside for the time being. He was not in a hurry to seek revenge either. The most important thing now was to protect the assets he had.

Su Xiyin was expressionless. In the past, she would have helped to speak up for him, but that was impossible now. Why would she help the person who had insulted and set up her son and granddaughter?

In the end, people’s hearts were biased, and she was no exception. In the past, she had given in to them when she could and retreated when she could. She had treated them well, but she had not received equal returns. There was no brotherly affection in their eyes, only money!

As a father, Huo Xiao was in a difficult position. Both of them were his sons.m

He did scold Sixth Son every day for not engaging in proper work. However, it wasn’t that he wanted to scold him. He was just angry. He was angry at himself!

Out of these sons in the family, only Sixth Son could enter his eye. If the Huo Family’s business fell into Sixth Brother’s hands, he would definitely be able to develop it to greater heights with his means! However, if it landed in the hands of these prodigals, it would only be squandered!

Sixth Son was not short of money. In the past, he truly hadn’t wanted the Huo Family’s assets either. This had all been caused by their antics. Ever since Sixth Son had returned with Sheng Sheng, all of them had started jumping up and down without stopping!

Now that he had pissed off Sixth Son and could not win against him as well, he had started to plead with him for help. How could he have fathered such a useless thing?

“Father!” Huo Pei wiped his tears. When he saw Huo Xiao’s expression waver, he was overjoyed inwardly. He knew that there was a chance. Then, he continued crying, “You know that our whole family lives on that small business. If it’s gone… I surely can’t live off of you and ask you for money!”

Huo Xiao frowned deeply and looked at Huo Ci. “Sixth Son, you…”

Before he could finish speaking, the butler, Uncle Liu, ran in hurriedly. He looked at the Old Master with a complicated expression. “Old Master, the Old Master of the Nangong Family is here to visit.”

Huo Xiao was about to mediate the situation between his sons when he heard ‘Mr. Nangong’. He subconsciously asked, “Which Mr. Nangong?”
