Chapter 437: How Did Huo Yu Die?
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor. Henyee Translations
Huo Xiuyuan had returned to the company a few days ago.
Moreover, it was Huo Hong who personally transferred him back and placed him in the company in a good position.
This action caused a wave of confusion, and many people who were about to rely on Huo Yichen stopped in their tracks, not understanding what the Huo Family Head meant.
There were also many discussions in the dark.
“What’s going on? Has Huo Hong changed his mind?
“Didn’t he think highly of his son previously… I was already thinking about how to get close to Huo Yichen. Now that Huo Xiuyuan is back, Tsk.”
“Who knows what Huo Hong is thinking?”
With so many voices mixed together, no one could give a definite answer.
When he saw Huo Hong taking the initiative to look for him and standing at the office door, Huo Yichen’s face was as ordinary as ever.
“Report if you need anything,” Huo Yichen said indifferently.
He couldn’t be bothered with what Huo Xiuyuan wanted. Huo Yichen only wanted peace and quiet now.
However, Huo Xiuyuan was still smiling. He didn’t look like someone who could be dismissed with a few words.
Moreover, his gaze had never left Huo Xiuyuan since he entered. If one observed carefully, they could even see a hint of smugness and contempt.
Huo Xiuyuan paced slowly in front of him. He placed his hands on the table and looked down at Huo Yichen with a mocking smile.
“Other than the project with the Murong Family, I’m in charge of everything else, Huo Yichen.” Huo Xiuyuan’s malicious voice sounded.
His expectant gaze landed on Huo Yichen’s face. “Huo Hong personally allowed
it.”
The second half of his sentence was filled with Huo Xiuyuan’s impatience as he spat it out.
Huo Yichen gradually put down his pen and looked up into Huo Xiuyuan’s smiling eyes. His calm eyes were not filled with the emotions that Huo Xiuyuan wanted to see the most.
He was too calm, so calm that Huo Xiuyuan’s mood to watch a good show was messed up.
“Sure, I’ll arrange for the secretary to do the handover later.” Huo Yichen’s voice was indifferent, and there was no anger in it.
Huo Yichen even put down his fountain pen and leaned back as if he was relaxed. This was beyond Huo Xiuyuan’s expectations.
Huo Xiuyuan was so angry that he forgot what he wanted to say when he came.
“I wonder if you can really sit still or pretend so well,” Huo Xiuyuan subconsciously mocked.
When he returned this time, especially when he was transferred back by Huo Hong, Huo Xiuyuan understood his role.
He pretended to listen to Huo Hong’s arrangements obediently and began to take over the company again. He planned to compete with Huo Yichen to prevent him from growing too recklessly.
However, this was Huo Hong’s idea, not Huo Xiuyuan’s.
He naturally had his own plans. However, after returning, he couldn’t help but stand up for himself in front of Huo Yichen with Huo Hong’s decree.
Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, “Your face doesn’t hurt anymore?”
His question was light, but Huo Xiuyuan’s face subconsciously darkened.
He paused his hand that was about to cover his face. In order to hide his embarrassment, he slapped the table angrily.
“Huo Yichen!” Huo Xiuyuan called his full name.
It was obvious that his mentality of being beaten up by Huo Yichen had collapsed.
However, in Huo Yichen’s eyes, this appearance made him feel less interested. Huo Yichen replied slowly, “I thought you would more or less learn something after leaving, but in the end, you’re still trash.”
As Huo Yichen spoke, he gradually stood up from his chair. His movements were neither fast nor slow, but they were very oppressive. As soon as his dark eyes locked onto Huo Xiuyuan, his legs softened.
Huo Xiuyuan forced himself not to retreat, but after Huo Yichen suddenly stood up, his gaze still made Huo Xiuyuan’s heart sink. The heavy feeling made him unable to breathe.
“HUO Xiuyuan, you’d better behave yourself.” A faint smile appeared on Huo Yichen’s face, as if he had thought of a happy scene.
Huo Xiuyuan was about to retort when he heard the next sentence. The blood in his body froze and even his rationality was cut off, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t want Huo Hong to know how Huo Yu died, right?”
When Huo Xiuyuan came back to his senses, he was already sitting in his office again.
However, when he looked at the pile of documents in front of him, he couldn’t focus on handling them at all. Instead, his mind was filled with what he had just heard from Huo Yichen.
“…How did Huo Yu die?”
Huo Yichen’s calm and even cold tone made Huo Xiuyuan shiver when he recalled it.
His eyes instantly became filled with fear. He looked around in panic and couldn’t help but think about Huo Yichen’s words.
Huo Yu was naturally Huo Hong’s favorite son before Huo Yichen returned. However, after his accidental death, Huo Hong recovered from his grief and had no choice but to bring Huo Yichen back to be the heir.
This matter should have been buried with Huo Yu.
It should have.
Huo Xiuyuan felt uneasy. For a moment, he couldn’t tell what Huo Yichen’s intentions were.
He rubbed his hair in frustration and simply threw the irksome documents aside. He took out his phone and scrolled through the contact list, calculating something in his heart.
He should have dealt with those who knew about Huo Yu’s death back then already… Did Huo Yichen really know, or was he using this matter to scare him.
Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t tell.
He clearly wanted to show off at first, but in the end, he was scared out of his wits by Huo Yichen.
But the more this was the case, the more Huo Xiuyuan hated Huo Yichen.
He hated the fact that the other party looked like he was in control of the entire situation, hated the fact that the other party was valued by Huo Hong, and hated the fact that the other party was a stumbling block for him to become the head of the Huo Family!
Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth. At the thought of Huo Hong’s upcoming birthday banquet, he felt even more annoyed.
If Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were really together, his chances of winning would shrink further…
He would never allow that to happen.
However, when the sun set and dusk fell, Huo Xiuyuan, who had just returned to the Huo family, saw Huo Hong talking to Huo Yichen as soon as he entered. There was a satisfied smile on Huo Hong’s face that he had never seen before.
-You’ve been on good terms with the Murong Family recently, right? What does Murong Chen think of you?” Huo Hong could be said to be concerned.
However, if one ignored his bright eyes, they would probably think that this was a father’s concern.
Huo Yichen nodded. “They’re naturally saying that you taught me well.” instead of boasting, he praised Huo Hong. These words were so comfortable that Huo Hong immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.
This relieved the worry in his heart.
“Perform well. I’ll talk to Murong Chen personally on my birthday.” Huo Hong patted Huo Yichen’s shoulder.
Huo Hong was even more satisfied with his son now. Other than the fact that the other party had his own thoughts and was a little unfamiliar with him, Huo Hong was even a little biased. He felt that Huo Yichen was much more outstanding than Huo Yu.
“If Ah Yu was here, I would have asked him to leam from you.” He suddenly sighed.
Huo Hong’s fatherly side would only reveal a little when he mentioned his favorite Huo Yu.
However, this unintentional sentence caused a thousand waves in Huo Xiuyuan’s heart..
