Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Return to Qi Li Town_1 Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Return to Qi Li Town_1 Wu Shanshan slumped on the table, wishing she could crawl into a hole and disappear.

“We were all deceived by He Jinlan before.”

“Yes! We didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Xie Fei, we are about to go our separate ways, so we were talked about.” The straightforward chubby boy, Zhang Chao, spoke.

“Humph!” Xie Fei, who wasn’t one to dwell on things, let out a huff and that was that.

After all, Jiang Nanfei had proven her worth with her abilities, and she didn’t care about others’ slander at all.

He Shasha had been watching with a detached expression from the start, she wouldn’t remember He Jinlan if not mentioned. After the college entrance examination, she was planning to return to the provincial city to teach her a lesson. It was said that He Jinlan had been having a tough time for more than half a year and was being used by He Rongxi as a matrimonial pawn.

After the bankruptcy of the Qiao Family, He Jinlan was first engaged to a man who lost his wife. Recently, it was rumored that she seduced a married man but was caught in the act by his wife.

He Jinlan has now become the biggest joke in the provincial city’s high society.

As long as one is willing to pay, they can sleep with her.

Imperial City, suburban cemetery

The weather in June should normally be bright and sunny, but it has been gloomy and rainy since the start of the month. The cemetery, filled with lush pine and cypress trees, looked even colder and lonelier under the drizzling rain.

Since morning, various white lilies and chrysanthemums have been spreading from the foot of the mountain all the way to the peak.

Those buried on the top of the cemetery were all people of distinguished status.

The mourners were all dressed formally, men in black suits and women in black gowns. The black umbrellas above their heads seemed to add a few ripples to this desolate world.

The rain was falling heavier, and the people who attended the funeral began to descend the mountain one after another. When they nearly reached the foot of the mountain, the oppressive atmosphere in the crowd lightened slightly. Someone sighed, “Alas! Within just half a year, the Huo Family has had two successive funerals, almost without any break in between. This time it’s finally over!”

The comment was not inaccurate.

The patriarch of the Huo Family passed away at the end of last year, and unexpectedly, the younger pillar of the family died prematurely just as the funeral ended.

Sighs kept emerging from the crowd.

Somebody asked, “Has anyone here interacted with the new inheritor?”

“No!”

“I heard that he was being raised in a foreign place by the old man, and only returned when the old man fell seriously ill.”

“Huh! Shouldn’t he show his face then?”

“He hasn’t appeared afterwards, only showed up once in the Jade Pavilion half a month ago.”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the last ones to leave were the remaining members of the Huo Family. The most noticeable among them was the tall and slender Huo Beijiang with his icy demeanor. His eyes were as deep as the ocean, surrounded by numerous people. Huo Kewei walked next to him, his eyes red.

Only when they descended the mountain and got into the black sedan, did Huo Beijiang’s sternness slightly ease.

Huo Kewei sat next to him, rubbed his red eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Uncle, are you going home?”

Huo Beijiang’s cold expression went blank for a moment before he tiredly rubbed his forehead.

“No!” His reply was terse, seemingly not wanting to discuss the matter further.

“Huh? Are you going to the factory then?” The Huo Family had shifted to commerce until Huo Dongfeng’s generation, but they were different from ordinary businessmen.

The Huo Family owned several well-known heavy industry corporations, the most notable of which was aircraft manufacturing. Their research and production capabilities were at the international top level. When the old patriarch was still active, he was the leader with a network of friends and subordinates; over the years the Huo Family had established close relationships with various units and departments.

The men of the Huo Family were not just businessmen, especially the heirs; they often held several identities.

Although Huo Beijiang had always been with the Transocean Group in recent years, his personal records were also stored within the system for another reason – the Huo Family.

His lips moved slightly before he uttered three words, “Qi Li Town.”
