Chapter 821: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (8)

Huo Ci, who had won the battle, was in a great mood. He carried Xiaoqi downstairs to find something to eat and brought a plate of egg tarts over. Then, he sat on the sofa and watched television.

In the main bedroom downstairs, Su Xiyin had never been so serious. She looked at Huo Xiao and said, “Hubby, I’ve lived through so many years. It doesn’t matter what they do to me. But if they dare to touch Sheng Sheng, I definitely will not let them off.”

In the Huo Family, she would reduce major troubles into minor ones and not make a big deal out of it if she could. She would still have established her power a few years ago, fearing that they would belittle and disrespect her.

However, those stepchildren were also smart people. When they interacted with each other, they looked amiable on the surface.

In the past few years, after they had moved away, only she and her husband had been in the main house. The others had come on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar year, and only during the festive seasons, so there had been even fewer conflicts.

However, they had not expected that they would start causing trouble again because of Sheng Sheng’s arrival. Were they afraid that Sheng Sheng would fight with them for the inheritance? That was all they had in mind anyway. They kept thinking about when her husband would die so that they could divide up the Huo Family’s assets.

“Don’t worry. With me around, no one will dare touch Sheng Sheng.” Huo Xiao also knew that she had never gotten angry with the children.

The last time she had been so angry was when Sixth Son had been kidnapped by his second son. After that, his temper grew and he had become strict and strong-willed in front of his sons and daughters-in-law.

In the past few years, he had gotten old and had grown more open-minded. Now that he was treating them nicely once again, they started to climb all over him.

There were no secrets in a family. The things Fifth Brother and his wife did were quickly found out. They closed their doors and tried to think of a strategy.

Those who had initially wanted to establish dominance over Ling Sheng should reconsider what they should do too. After all, Ling Sheng was the Old Master’s heart. No one could touch her.

Ling Sheng felt that people living in big families were like those in the entertainment circle. They had to have a strong heart; their acting skills had to be good, and they had to manage their emotions well.

When it was dinnertime at night, the whole family was all joyous and harmonious again, as though the incident in the afternoon had not happened at all.

There were too many people around, so not everyone could gather around one table. The elders had a table, and the juniors had a table. Everyone ate their own food. However, Ling Sheng was Huo Xiao’s treasure, so she naturally had to sit with him. She sat with the elders.

As the saying goes, three women are enough for a drama. These women of the Huo Family were not easy to deal with. The stage had been set up, and they were angry. The show had started. It would depend on who acted well.

“Sheng Sheng, Eldest Aunt has a lot of information on young and talented young men. I’ll show them to you tomorrow. If it’s appropriate, I’ll arrange a meeting for you.” The eldest son Huo Ting’s wife, Jiang Meiyun, looked at Ling Sheng and added, “As women, the most important thing is to have a good eye for men. As the saying goes, marriage is a woman’s second reincarnation. Finding a good man will be harmonious and blissful, and you’ll be happy forever.”

“That’s right. You have to choose well when it comes to picking men,” Second Brother Huo Zhen’s wife, Zhang Yuechan, agreed. “Second Aunt knows a lot of people too. They all want me to introduce a daughter-in-law to them. I’ll tell them tomorrow.”

“To go on a blind date, there are only these few days during the Lunar New Year. The young people are all at home. Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you will have to choose carefully. Sheng Sheng is our family’s huge treasure. If you don’t choose well, be careful that Father won’t let you off,” Third Brother Huo Ji’s wife, Ye Ru, reminded them kindly.
