Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Strange Coldness? (1st Update)

Inside the Huo Family’s villa’s grand hall.

There were more than twenty people present, including Huo Feiyu’s mother, sister, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

There was also a man in a suit, with a proud smile on his face, sitting on the sofa.

Behind the man stood a middle-aged man who was nodding and bowing, along with a group of underlings.

Upon seeing Huo Feiyu enter.

"Yo! Feiyu, you’re back, just in time. Talk some sense into your sister. What’s wrong with Young Master Song? Wealthy and influential, with a family fortune exceeding ten billion, owning a publicly-listed company. More importantly, he’s the only son of the Song Family. Your sister is so blessed!" Huo Feiyu’s Aunt Zhou Aili spoke loudly.

The expression on Huo Feiyu’s face was extremely ugly.

"Auntie! How many times have I said that Xuefei is still too young to marry? She’s not even of age yet, only seventeen!" Huo Feiyu said through clenched teeth.

His father had passed away seven or eight years ago, and since a young age, his sister had had problems with her eyes.

After his father’s death, the company that was nominally owned by the Huo Family,

although the shares were registered in the name of the Huo Family, the real control of the company was in the hands of Huo Feiyu’s cousin and his cousin’s wife,

His mother Zhou Xiangli, in order to let Huo Feiyu and his sister grow up healthily, had always been swallowing her pride, struggling to maintain the Huo Family’s affairs.

However, a few days ago, Zhou Xiangli took Huo Xuefei to the hospital to check her eyes.

By chance, they met Song Tianxing of the Song Family, also known as Young Master Song referred to by Zhou Aili.

Song Tianxing took a fancy to Huo Xuefei at first sight!

Despite Huo Xuefei’s eye problems, her breathtaking beauty had Song Tianxing drooling.

After inquiring in the hospital, he learned of Huo Xuefei’s identity!

Therefore.

After contacting the Huo Family, Song Tianxing immediately made an overnight visit to propose marriage!

"What’s wrong with being seventeen? In the past, daughters of wealthy families were married off at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Moreover, Young Master Song said that although Xuefei is young now, once she marries into the Song Family, her status will be unquestionable! As soon as she reaches the legal age for marriage, they’ll go get the marriage certificate!" Zhou Aili sneered with disdain in her eyes.

But in the next moment, her gaze shifted, landing on Song Tianxing.

Her eyes were full of ingratiating laughter, like a fawning dog, "Isn’t that right, Young Master Song?"

"Correct! I promise that in a few years, I will go and register the marriage with Xuefei!"

Song Tianxing nodded, but his gaze never left Huo Xuefei’s figure.

’Register for marriage? Haha! Dream on! How could I possibly marry a blind girl? I’ll just play with her for a while and get rid of her with some excuse once I’m bored!’

A trace of disdain appeared at the corner of Song Tianxing’s mouth.

"Feiyu, did you hear that? Young Master Song has given his promise, can’t you trust his word?" Zhou Aili looked at Huo Feiyu arrogantly.

"Sister, isn’t this too... too soon? How about we wait another two years? Wait until Xuefei grows up a bit more?"

Zhou Xiangli, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Zhou Aili was immediately displeased and scoffed, "Sister! What do you mean? Young Master Song has personally come to propose, and you want him to wait another two years?"

"Moreover, I must say! If it weren’t for my son and daughter-in-law running your Huo Family’s businesses over the years! Just with your few people? The Huo Family’s company would have long gone bankrupt!"

"But... when our dad passed away, the company had assets of ten billion! It’s only been seven or eight years, so how come it’s now only five billion?" Huo Feiyu couldn’t help but speak out.

When his father passed away, the market value of the Huo Family’s company was ten billion.

But in just a short seven or eight years, the market value of the company had halved!

"Feiyu, you don’t understand. The business of your dad’s company is all from ten years ago! And it’s long outdated!"

"If it weren’t for me taking over and changing the development direction of the company, your family’s company would have gone bankrupt long ago!"

The young man sitting on the sofa, pushed up his glasses on his nose and spoke indifferently.

"Haha! Honey, this must be the epitome of ingratitude! We have slaved away, managing the company for them, and when the time comes, they’ll go back to inherit their fortune and kick us to the curb without a place to argue our case!" A woman in a black coat laughed oddly.

Her name is Cai Lenghe, and she is Huo Feiyu’s cousin-in-law.

The young man wearing glasses is Chen Junliang, Huo Feiyu’s cousin and Cai Lenghe’s husband.

"Feiyu wouldn’t do that; he’s my cousin! Besides, he ought to understand that Xuefei marrying the young Song is also for the sake of the company! You’re right, aren’t you? Cousin!" Chen Junliang smiled as he spoke.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at Huo Feiyu!

Huo Feiyu shuddered.

He had been afraid of this cousin since he was young, daring not to disobey him in the slightest, shadowed by memories of his childhood.

"My son is right!"

Zhou Aili quickly nodded, saying, "I nearly forgot to tell you guys, the young Song said, as long as Xuefei agrees to marry him, he can give our company a hand! My dear sister, don’t you want the family business your man left behind to flourish and grow?"

"Do you want to just watch as the company continues to struggle? Let me tell you, the company’s performance is very poor right now, and if we go bankrupt, you’ll have nowhere to go!"

Zhou Xiangli’s face looked somewhat ugly.

"Mom..."

In her arms, Huo Xuefei’s delicate body trembled.

Her pretty face turned somewhat pale.

Lin Fan stood at the entrance of the villa, observing the young girl before him.

Her delicate oval face, free of makeup, had a high-bridged nose. The contours of her features were graceful and aristocratic, giving her the appearance of a Snow Lotus from the Tian Shan mountains.

Even compared to Nolan Qingcheng, she was not overshadowed in the least.

Unfortunately, those crystal-clear eyes of hers were dim and lightless, unable to see anything.

’Huh? Strange, why do I feel that there’s an odd chill emanating from Feiyu’s sister’s body?’ Lin Fan frowned.

His gaze.

Remained fixed on Huo Xuefei’s pretty face.

"Forget it, sister, Xuefei is still too young, only seventeen! I can’t let her marry off this early!" Zhou Xiangli shook her head, declining.

Hearing this, Huo Xuefei finally sighed with relief.

But still, she held her mother’s hand tightly, with palpable tension.

Her ten delicate jade-like fingers turned slightly white.

"Haha! Zhou Xiangli, are you taking kindness for weakness? If it weren’t for our family taking care of the Huo Family’s company for the past seven or eight years, your Huo Family would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!" Zhou Aili’s face was full of anger.

"Even if we had sold the company eight years ago, my family would have had a billion, right? In these seven to eight years, has my family even used up five billion? Yet ever since your family took over our company, it’s been a straight loss of five billion, and you still have the face to speak?" Huo Feiyu summoned his courage and shouted angrily.

Surprise!

Inside the Huo Family’s hall, everyone looked towards Huo Feiyu in shock.

Stunned!

As everyone knew, Huo Feiyu wouldn’t dare let out a fart in front of this group of elders on a normal day.
