Chapter 294 - Chapter 294 Chapter 0294 The Couple Ganging Up on One

Chapter 294: Chapter 0294: The Couple Ganging Up on One? Chapter 294: Chapter 0294: The Couple Ganging Up on One? “Huo…”

Mu Lan hadn’t expected to be caught red-handed, and seeing Huo Tingxiao’s demeanor, she was even more uncertain about how much of their conversation he had overheard.

Mu Huaifeng glanced at his sister, frustrated by her pathetic appearance to the point where he almost had a heart attack. He couldn’t understand what was so great about Huo Tingxiao that she would go to such lengths for him.

“Good, I was just thinking of talking to you.”

After saying that, he deliberately sent Mu Lan off to buy two cups of coffee, to which she blurted out without thinking:

“No, Huo Tingxiao has a bad stomach, he shouldn’t drink it.”

Mu Huaifeng’s expression soured.

“I have a good stomach, I’ll drink it.”

Mu Lan pursed her lips and turned to walk towards the elevator.

The last time the two men met, there had been a tense atmosphere.

Mu Huaifeng was seething inside, finding him very disagreeable, but since Mu Lan liked him, he had to accept him for her sake.

Fortunately, Huo Tingxiao also gave enough face, making overtures of peace.

“Big brother, it was my fault about the past, I hope you can let it go.

From now on, I will take good care of Lanlan, and put her first in all matters.”

Mu Huaifeng snorted, knowing that things had come to this point and it was a done deal.

“The person my sister likes, I won’t trouble, but you should also give an explanation to the elders at home.”

Huo Tingxiao nodded.

“Once the situation with the old master is stable, I will visit and apologize to the mother-in-law.”

This chapter could be considered as turned.

Sitting down on the living room sofa in the hospital ward, Mu Huaifeng got straight to the point, asking Huo Tingxiao about his intentions.

“Are you planning to return to the Huo Family?”

Huo Tingxiao did not intend to hide anything, sharing his plans with Mu Huaifeng. In fact, the plans included some business secrets, but to reassure Mu Huaifeng, he spoke without any hesitation.

After hearing this, Mu Huaifeng inwardly exclaimed, impressed by the young man’s remarkable plans and the grand strategy he had laid out.

It was no wonder he kept it from Mu Lan; such risky maneuvers could have unpredictable outcomes…

“How sure are you?”

“One hundred percent.”

Huo Tingxiao’s firm tone made Mu Huaifeng smirk. He really dared to say it.

“Are you certain there will be no mistakes in every step? Don’t blame me for throwing cold water on you, but if you fail, the entire Huo Family will cast you out.

You know best what the state of your family is; I don’t need to say more.

Originally, it was because of the Huo Family’s complicated situation that my parents opposed Mu Lan marrying you.

Even though, over the years, you’ve achieved some success on your own…”

Mu Huaifeng spoke with a bit of embarrassment. In seven years, the TX Group had grown rapidly. Although still a distance from the Huo Family’s hundred-billion empire, when it came to personal fortune, Huo Tingxiao was definitely at the top.

Men often have a competitive nature, even if the other is a great catch, they don’t easily concede superiority.

Despite himself, even Mu Huaifeng couldn’t help but be slightly conventional, especially given his somewhat delicate position relative to Huo Tingxiao.

“If those people are dead set against you, you might not come out unscathed.

Mu Group belongs to me and my sister; naturally, I won’t watch them drag you under.”

His words were intended to reassure Huo Tingxiao, but…

“Big brother, this time, let’s not involve Mu Group.”

Mu Huaifeng was stunned; he had not expected Huo Tingxiao to refuse the olive branch he had extended.

“What?”

“Do you think Sheng Group and Jiancheng will just sit back and do nothing?”

Mu Huaifeng’s expression suddenly turned a bit unpleasant.

“Is Sheng Xueqin really going to target you?”

“She wants to reshuffle the deck for the families in Sea City. What she desires is for Sheng Group to surpass Huo Family.”

Upon hearing this from Huo Tingxiao, Mu Huaifeng was somewhat surprised. Indeed, family peace was often just a facade, taking advantage of a crisis was the norm.

“She’s quite ambitious then, is she really planning to boost Huo Tingyang into a position of power?

Since that’s the case, I think there’s no need for you to show her any courtesy. Business is like a battlefield, surely you won’t hold back against your childhood sweetheart?”

Mu Huaifeng said this deliberately for Huo Tingxiao to hear. After all, the close ties between Sheng Family and Huo Family had always been clear for all to see, and there were once rumors that the two families were planning a marriage alliance. Back when Mu Lan married Huo Tingxiao, initially, due to her young age, it wasn’t made public in their social circle, but as it gradually became known, people speculated whether Mu Lan had cut in ahead of someone else.

Therefore, he was always bothered by it.

“Sheng Xueqin and I don’t have the kind of relationship where we can’t make a move against each other.

“Huo Family and Mu Family are different. Your family relations are harmonious, and before I realized my love for Mu Lan, there was no one in my family that I was particularly attached to.

“Let alone Sheng Xueqin, an outsider.”

With one word “outsider,” he defined the nature of their relationship.

Mu Huaifeng raised his eyebrows; he was quite direct with his words.

“Then that’s for the best.”

Mu Lan bought coffee and quickly returned, pushing open the door with a slight gasp, obviously in a hurry.

Mu Huaifeng took the coffee from her hand and glanced at Huo Tingxiao.

“Lanlan told me your stomach isn’t good, can you no longer drink coffee now?”

Before Huo Tingxiao could speak, Mu Lan chimed in.

“Brother, he was just discharged from the hospital a few days ago, don’t…”

Realizing that she might be acting a bit unreserved, Mu Lan gradually lowered her voice, looking at Huo Tingxiao, who was smiling at her; she felt her face heating up.

Mu Huaifeng took the opportunity to tease them a few times.

“Knowing you two made up, you don’t have to overdo it. Have you forgotten all the hard times you went through before?”

Mu Lan lowered her head, and Huo Tingxiao couldn’t bear to see his brother-in-law scolding Mu Lan in front of him, he immediately defended her.

“Big brother has grievances, you can vent your anger on me; don’t make it hard for her.”

Mu Huaifeng was furious, playing the good guy, as if he could really scold him; afterward, Mu Lan would definitely quarrel with him, and he didn’t want to see her unhappy.

“Brother, don’t scold Huo Tingxiao. Let’s not bring up the past, okay?”

Before he could speak, she was already eagerly defending him.

Mu Huaifeng felt a pang of hurt in his heart. No wonder they say daughters are like water poured away once married; the old saying wasn’t wrong.

“I only said one thing, and you two, as a couple, are fighting back at me. What, are you bullying me because I’m alone?”

This mention of the couple made Huo Tingxiao’s heart incredibly comforted; despite Mu Huaifeng’s sharp tongue, deep down he acknowledged him as his brother-in-law.

“Then, about me proposing to set you up on blind dates, it was you who disagreed, Big Brother. You can’t blame me for that, right?”

Mu Lan’s tone was quite innocent.

That’s it; I can’t listen to this anymore. How did we get onto the topic of blind dates?

“If you’re that idle, why not give me a few nephews and nieces, then you won’t be focused on whether I’m getting married.”

Mu Lan’s face turned red, while Huo Tingxiao actually felt a bit tempted.

“Look at you two, just hurting each other for no reason. I’m not in a hurry, you shouldn’t be either, let’s all not rush.”

Hmm, the sudden excitement just faded away; Huo Tingxiao also felt he was getting ahead of himself. They had just reconciled, and her career was still in the developing stage; how could she possibly think about having children.

However, he couldn’t help but fantasize; if they had a child together, how adorable it would be. He hoped for a daughter, just like her.
