Chapter 1310: Outsiders and Insiders

Huo Xuenong and Luo Jialan had stayed in Europe for more than a year, but Xie Shenxing hadn’t visited them even once.

At first, they thought that Xie Shenxing was too busy. After all, he was the head of the Xie family, and weren’t there so many things waiting for him to make a decision on every day?

Later, they found out that Xie Shenxing had stopped managing the family affairs and left most of the family affairs to his son. Only then did they realize his true feeligs toward these two people...

The two of them stayed in one of the Xie family’s courtyards. They didn’t dare to cause any trouble.

Xie Shenxing didn’t see them off after they returned from Europe.

Huo Xuenong was afraid to see Xie Shenxing because of his wife’s matter, so Xie Shenxing didn’t see them in Europe. Deep down, he was actually relieved, but it didn’t look good for him on the surface.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Gu Nianzhi had stood up for Song Jinning and Luo Xinxue in the lawsuit and dragged Zhang Feng into it, the Xie family might not have known about it and wouldn’t have treated him so coldly.

Huo Xuenong gazed at Gu Nianzhi even more coldly at the thought of this.

She was clinging on to him, but didn’t even think about whether she was worthy or not to do so.

Did she think that the Huo family would obediently allow her to marry in just because of the Xie family?

Haha, this was the Huaxia Empire, not France.

This was more than a hundred years later, not more than a hundred years ago.

Huo Xuenong’s slightly hunched back straightened.

“It’s Shenxing, right? We haven’t seen each other for so many years, but you’re still as strong as ever. Hahahaha... ” Huo Xuenong laughed as he walked over to Xie Shenxing.

Huo Guanchen glared at Huo Shaoheng and went forward to say, “Why didn’t you inform us earlier that you were here?”

Xie Shenxing was rather friendly towards Huo Guanchen. After all, he was Huo Guanchen’s nephew, and he had watched him grow up when he was young.

His expression softened and he nodded. “I told Shaoheng not to make a big fuss about it. I’ve only returned to the country to deal with some personal matters.”

Huo Guanchen smiled. “He’s too inattentive. Even if you’ve returned to the country because of private matters, it’s still a matter of national importance. How could he not tell us just because you said so? ——Shaoheng, you have to report this matter to the military. How can you not differentiate between small matters and matters of importance? ”

Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and smiled, but didn’t say anything.

Xie Shenxing couldn’t take it anymore. He said angrily, “What’s wrong with that? Are you guys disobeying me just because I’m no longer in authority? Hehe, if Shaoheng is punished by your organization because he listened to me, seems like none of you wanted me to return to the country in the first place!”

“No, no! I said the wrong thing. Please don’t be angry!” Cold sweat broke out on Huo Guanchen’s forehead, and he hurriedly apologized to Xie Shenxing.

Xie Shenxing suppressed the anger inside and said with a straight face, “Alright, we’re all family here. There’s no need to be so formal.”

He led Gu Nianzhi to the group sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down.

Unable to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes, Luo Jialan clenched her fists tightly.

She wanted to say that Gu Nianzhi wasn’t a member of the Huo family, so why should she be allowed to stay there?

Even if they were engaged, by law, an engagement wasn’t equivalent marriage. Her surname wasn’t Huo!

Of course, she knew that picking on Gu Nianzhi at this time would only make Huo Shaoheng and Xie Shenxing even more disgusted with her.

Luo Jialan took a deep breath and strategically decided to leave. “Grandfather Huo, Uncle Huo, Mr. Xie, take your time. I’ll be leaving now.”

Xie Shenxing raised his eyes to glance at her and said coldly, “Did I tell you to leave?”

Luo Jialan’s body stiffened and not knowing what to do, she looked at Huo Xuenong.

Huo Xuenong quickly said, “Jialan is here to take care of me. Ever since I retired from the military, no one has really cared about me. Only Jialan pays attention to me and talks to me like my granddaughter-in-law.” He looked at Gu Nianzhi provocatively.

Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Xuenong didn’t like her and wanted Luo Jialan to be Huo Shaoheng’s wife. She had been mentally prepared, but she still felt humiliated when he said that in front of so many people.

Luo Jialan’s expression didn’t change. She quickly lowered her eyes and smiled. “Grandfather Huo, you flatter me.” She then said to Gu Nianzhi, “Grandfather Huo was just joking. You won’t be angry, right? If you get angry over something like this, how are you going to live the rest of your life?”

Don’t think that you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor just because you’ve married into the Huo family. There were plenty of ways to deal with her!

Huo Shaoheng frowned but didn’t say anything. He simply put one hand on Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder and kissed her forehead in a soothing manner.

Luo Jialan caught sight of this scene from the corner of her eye. She could no longer maintain her dignified and magnanimous expression, and a frown appeared on her forehead.

They were so intimate!

They were so touchy with each other!

She was still standing there. How could he dare to kiss another woman?!

He even dared to kiss another woman when his grandfather said that he treated her, Luo Jialan, as his granddaughter-in-law?

How much did he look down on her? !

Luo Jialan was so angry that her entire body was shaking.

The hatred in her eyes stabbed at Gu Nianzhi like a flying knife.

On the other hand, Gu Nianzhi buried her head in Huo Shaoheng’s arms and paid no attention to her.

Xie Shenxing took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Nianzhi. He looked at Luo Jialan, then at Huo Xuenong, and suddenly laughed.

He looked up at Huo Guanchen and said, “Guanchen, ever since your mother passed away, your family has become more and more unruly. Which proper daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law hangs out with her father-in-law and grandfather every day? Even if you’re not ashamed, I’m ashamed for you!”

These words were too harsh, and Luo Jialan grew anxious inside.

If she couldn’t even come to the Huo family and lost Huo Xuenong’s strong support, what else did she have?!

Upon hearing this, Huo Xuenong’s face instantly reddened. “Shenxing, you’re his uncle. I won’t lower myself to your level. Aren’t you afraid that Ziyan won’t be able to rest in peace in the afterlife?!”

“You still dare to mention Ziyan? ! If it weren’t for the fact that you couldn’t control yourself, would she have been angered to death by you?!” Xie shenxing strode in front of Huo Xuenong and raised his hand to slap him.

When Huo Xuenong was in Europe, Xie Shenxing was stopped by his son, so he held back his anger.

However, because of the trust fund under Luo Jialan, he learned some other things. Even Xie Shenxing’s gentle and refined son couldn’t stand it anymore, so he let him go back to the country to settle the score with Huo Xuenong.

Xie Shenxing had used too much strengthh. This time, the anger that he had accumulated over the years made him merciless. Huo Xuenong was practically seeing stars after the slap.

If it weren’t for his crutches, he would have been slapped to the ground by Xie Shenxing.

“You dare to hit me?! It’s illegal to hit people!” Huo Xuenong was so angry that he couldn’t even speak properly. He covered the half of his face that had been hit. He looked at Huo Guanchen and Huo Shaoheng and said, “Are you guys just going to watch your father and grandfather get beaten to such a state by an outsider?!”

“Outsider? I’ll show you what an outsider and wife are today!” Xie Shenxing pointed at Huo Xuenong. He was really furious, “I’m Ziyan’s biological brother! Meeting your uncle is like meeting your mother, don’t you understand?! I represent Ziyan. You said I’m an outsider, so you don’t think of Ziyan as your wife, do you?! Fine, even though she’s already dead, I can still get her to divorce you. Do you believe me?!”

Huo Xuenong’s body trembled.

He couldn’t afford such humiliation!

His gaze turned gloomy as he pursed his lips and said, “You’re really crazy. She’s already dead, yet you’re still making such a ruckus. Aren’t you afraid that Ziyan will be disappointed?”

“Who made her disappointed? Don’t you know that? ” Xie Shenxing clasped his hands behind his back and took a deep breath. “In that case, there’s no need to say anything else today. I came here originally to stay for the night, but with your attitude, I’ll leave immediately!”

Luo Jialan was delighted and wanted to quietly move to Huo Xuenong’s side. However, after what Xie Shenxing had said just now, she felt embarrassed to be too close to Huo Xuenong.

Just as she was hesitating, Xie Shenxing said again, “Then let’s cut the long story short. I specially came here to tell you that our Xie family is very satisfied with Nianzhi as a granddaughter-in-law. I came here to support her. She doesn’t have a family, so from now on, the Xie family will be her family. Anyone who tries to make things difficult for her will be making things difficult for the Xie family.”

Huo Xuenong’s lips quivered for a long time, but he didn’t dare to buttheads with Xie Shenxing directly. Finally, he raised his hand dejectedly and said weakly, “Since you’ve put it that way, what else do I have to say? Besides, I’ve never been in charge of the younger generation’s matters. It’s fine as long as you guys are happy.” With that, he leaned on his cane, then turned around to go upstairs.

Huo Shaoheng called out to him, “Grandfather, I want to ask for my uncle’s will. Can you hand it over?”

Huo Xuenong suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and his expression changed.

Fortunately, his back was facing the crowd, so they couldn’t see his expression.

Huo Xuenong let out a slight sigh of relief and quickly thought about how to respond.

As if struck by lightning, Luo Jialan staggered back a few steps. Leaning against the mahogany vase stand behind her, she stuttered, “Will? My father left a will?!”
