Chapter 1312: Nitpicky

“If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that you were pretending to be a 30-year-old man online.” Huo Shaoheng’s face was cold and handsome, but his hands were doing something indescribable.

Gu Nianzhi finally understood the reason behind the hostile attitudes of the two staff members...

But she had no time to think about anything else. She was in emotional turmoil as he placed her on an emotional rollercoaster.

She panted in his palm with her voice breaking.

Huo Shaoheng suddenly stopped and whispered into her ear, ” ... Am I very old?”

” ... No... you’re not old... I’m not talking about you... I’m talking about myself...”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart was beating wildly because of him. She was on the verge of tears. “Hurry up... Hurry up...”

Huo Shaoheng, however, remained motionless.

Gu Nianzhi’s entire body felt ill at ease. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re still saying you’re not old?!”

He couldn’t move!

Huo Shaoheng was thoroughly provoked by her words.

That night, Gu Nianzhi finally understood what “revenge from a 30-year-old man” meant.

It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Old men seized every moment for revenge.

..

In the middle of the night, Huo Xuenong woke up in the high-end private ward of the Military’s General Hospital. He said that he was hungry, so he asked the orderly beside him to cook rice porridge for him.

The orderly woke Luo Jialan up and said, “I’m going to make porridge for Mr. Huo. Help me take a look. ”

Luo Jialan rubbed her eyes and yawned. “Okay, you go ahead. ”

After the orderly left, only Huo Xuenong and Luo Jialan were left in the high-end single ward.

Seeing that Huo Xuenong had woken up, Luo Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to tuck Huo Xuenong in.

Huo Xuenong waited for the sound of the orderly’s footsteps to disappear before looking at Luo Jialan and whispering, ” ... Jialan, Shaoheng found out about the will. Did you tell him?”

“Of course not.” Luo Jialan denied flatly. “I’m not stupid. Why would I say something like that?”

“You’ve seen the situation now. I’m afraid we won’t be able to complete our plan.” Huo Xuenong said flatly and closed his eyes again.

Luo Jialan’s heart skipped a beat, and her tone of voice changed. “What did you say?! What do you mean?! You promised to help me marry into the Huo family and marry Shaoheng, then I’ll transfer half of my father’s trust fund to Zhang Wenjie afterwards.”

Was Grandfather Huo trying to renege on his promise?!

“Haha, you still want to marry Shaoheng? Do you actually think that’s possible?” Huo Xuenong smirked. “I’ve worked hard enough, but since Xie Shenxing came back, you have no chance of winning.”

If it hadn’t been for Xie Shenxing’s intervention, Huo Xuenong would still have some confidence.

But now that Xie Shenxing was clearly on Gu Nianzhi’s side, Huo Xuenong would be overestimating himself if he went against him again.

“Are you afraid of old master Xie?” Luo Jialan asked quietly. “But they treated you well in France last year... ”

“Do you think I’d be afraid of Xie Shenxing if I hadn’t retired?” Huo Xuenong snorted. “You know that even Guanchen won’t be on our side if the will is exposed. What do you think you’ll get out of it?”

“Fine. If I can’t get married, then you can forget about my trust fund.” Luo Jialan became hardened. “It’s very convenient for me. I can buy a plane ticket and leave this country immediately.”

“Is that so?” Huo Xuenong opened his eyes in a flash. His eyes were as sharp as lightning. He didn’t look like an old man who had been muddle-headed just now. “I’m telling you the truth. If you want to fight to the death, I’ll make you lose everything.”

“Do you know how to distribute the assets in the will? You don’t have a single cent. Your mother only has half of my son’s inheritance. The other half of his inheritance is to be donated to the high-energy Physics Institute. The trust fund under his name clearly stated that he wants to give all his inheritance to his nephew who is related to him by blood!”

“He wants to give everything to his nephew, not you.”

Luo Jialan was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She clenched her fists and said, “You’ve been talking about your will for so long, but you still haven’t shown it to me. I don’t believe you anymore! I don’t believe a word of it! If my father had a will, why didn’t he give it to my mother?!”

“You don’t believe it now? When you used the trust fund to make a deal with me as a bargaining chip to marry Shaoheng, you didn’t not believe me.” Huo Xuenong’s words were very harsh, “The truth is, Huo Guanyuan did have a will, and you know why he didn’t give it to your mother because she wasn’t in his heart. ”

Luo Jialan’s tears fell.

“Don’t cry. I hate it the most when women cry.” Huo Xuenong was impatient.

How could he be unaware of Luo Jialan’s true colors was?

After so many years, he had long seen through this person. The reason why he didn’t expose her and allowed her to stay in the Huo family was because he needed her to divert attention for his pla.

Huo Xuenong, who was well-versed in the art of war, also played a game of “building a path in the open while hiding in the dark”.

Luo Jialan’s crying stopped abruptly.

She didn’t continue to cry, but sobbed softly. She choked on her sobs as she said, ” ... You said before that my father’s will was to leave the trust fund to his nephews. He has two nephews, Major General Huo and Zhang Wenjie. This trust fund is bound to be divided equally between the two of them...”

“You promised me that as long as I gave half of the trust fund to Zhang Wenjie, you would help me marry Huo Shaoheng. That way, I would bring the other half of the trust fund over as dowry and not violate the Declaration of the will.”

Huo Xuenong looked at Luo Jialan with a sullen expression, “Yes, but what’s the situation now? Don’t you know what’s going on?”

Huo Shaoheng wouldn’t marry Luo Jialan no matter what, and even brought old master Xie back to support Gu Nianzhi.

Others might not know why Xie Shenxing had suddenly returned to the country, but how could Huo Xuenong not know?

His return this time definitely had something to do with Huo Shaoheng.

His brother-in-law Xie Shenxing had been afraid of his wife all his life. He doted on his wife, and even asked others to do the same. He was really too controlling!

Huo Xuenong truly had loved Xie Ziyan once before. Fortunately, she wasn’t as unreasonable as her brother and sister, but her temper was just as stubborn.

As time went by, even the deepest feelings of love was worn out, and the gentle Zhang Feng entered his sight.

She had quietly taken care of him for decades and even secretly gave birth to a son for him.

This son also had a son and a daughter. It was equivalent to him getting a son, grandson, and granddaughter without.

Although Zhang Feng almost ruined Huo Xuenong’s reputation, their son, grandson, and granddaughter were innocent. Huo Xuenong couldn’t give them a title, so he could only compensate them materially.

The conspiracy that they had been planning for so many years was about to be completed, but unfortunately Xie Shenxing butted in and ruined it.

Luo Jialan didn’t care about that much. She stubbornly said, “No matter what the situation is now, you can’t go back on your promise. Otherwise, I can also cut ties with you.”

“I dare you to try! If you dare cut ties with me, I can make you lose everything! ” Huo Xuenong’s voice was fierce. How could he be someone who had a heart attack just now?!

Luo Jialan was shocked. She braced herself and said, “Please don’t be angry. I was wrong. I didn’t mean it like that! I just said it in a moment of anger!”

“It better be true that you said it in a moment of anger.” Huo Xuenong closed his eyes again. “If you don’t want to lose everything, then do as I say.”

Luo Jialan was upset. She crossed her arms and walked around the ward a few times. “But if they force you to take out the will, I’ll still lose everything!”

According to Huo Xuenong, Luo Jialan had no part in the division of the trust fund in Huo Guanyuan’s will!

At this moment, Luo Jialan was filled with deep resentment towards her father in name.

No matter what, her mother had married Huo Guanyuan. How could he pretend that she didn’t exist?!

Luo Jialan clenched her fists and glared at Huo Xuenong. “Tell me, what can I do?!”

Huo Xuenong opened his eyes. His expression was cold and sullen. “Transfer half of the trust fund to Zhang Wenjie immediately, and then I’ll destroy the will.”

This way, no one would know that Huo Shaoheng was also involved..

Huo Xuenong knew very well that his eldest son, Huo Guanyuan, must not have known that Huo Xuenong had an illegitimate son when he made this will, so the “nephew” he mentioned in the will, was definitely only Huo Shaoheng.

As for why he didn’t mention Huo Shaoheng by name, it was probably to save face for Luo Xinxue and Song Jinning.

Huo Guanyuan also didn’t know that apart from Huo Shaoheng, he had another nephew, called Zhang Wenjie, who was related to him by blood.

If they really wanted to take it to court, according to the will, Huo Shaoheng and Zhang Wenjie had to split the trust fund 50-50.

But he couldn’t take it to court for real.
