Butler, quickly arrange seats. Have them sit over here.
The butler brought chairs. Have a seat, all four of you.
Su Bei could tell from Old Master Huos condition and eyes that he was not doing as well as he was in the hospital that day. He was like a candle in the wind, and his life was weak.
Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong could also tell. The two of them stopped smiling and sat down quietly.
Its good that youre here. Im sure you all know that the Huo family is in chaos now. My old bones My old bones dont have much time left. I cant care about so many things, Old Master Huo said.
Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong didnt grow up in the Huo family, so they couldnt empathize with him and just listened calmly.
Huo Zhong, Weijian, Im sorry about what happened to your father. Old Master Huo choked.
Lu Weijian didnt say anything. Of course, the old master should feel sorry. When Huo Ye got married, he had a child outside. Old Master Huo indulged Huo Ye and caused Lu Yaolan to have a mental breakdown. After giving birth to Lu Weijian, she had to go abroad to recuperate because of depression.
It could be said that Old Master Huo deserved what he was going through today.
However, from Old Master Huos point of view, it was not wrong for him to dote on his son His fault lay in the fact that his doting to his son had caused his two grandsons to be distant from him. This was karma and retribution.
Huo Zhong also sat quietly with his eyes lowered.
They came because Old Master Huo had more or less taken care of them in the past. They did not have a close relations.h.i.+p with him because they had not interacted much since they were young.
Old Master Huo sighed and said, Although the Huo family has fallen apart now, Ive worked hard for this family business for many years. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what, were still a wealthy family. Besides, there are many employees who have followed me for their entire lives. If I really leave, this huge family business and so many loyal employees will have no one to rely on. From then on, theyll really be left to fend for themselves.
His words were heartfelt and touching.
Su Bei couldnt stand seeing the old man like this. Her eyes turned slightly red. Lu Heting reached out and covered the back of her hand with his.
Feeling the warmth, Su Bei looked up at him and interlocked her fingers with his.
Old Master Huo coughed a few times. The butler hurried forward to pat his back to help him relax. Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong were also a little moved, but they didnt go forward.
He said again, Huo Zhong, Weijian, I want you to take care of the huge Huo family
Lu Weijian jumped to his feet and waved his hand. No, no, I cant. Grandpa, find another person for the task. Huo Zhong can definitely do it. Ill pa.s.s.
Besides, he had his own career now. He had to sneakily take time off from his schedule just to visit the Huo familys residence today.
If Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu knew that he was here, they would probably break his legs!
Old Master Lus temper back then was so bad that he didnt even want him to have the surname Huo, so how could he let him inherit the Huo familys business?!
Huo Zhong also looked gloomy. Lu Weijian, what do you mean? If you refuse, so be it. Why are you pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility to me? Let me tell you, dont think about dragging me down with you. I wont get involved in this!
Isnt your surname Huo? Why cant you do it? If you cant, why do you still have the surname Huo? Lu Weijian was persistent.
So what if my surname is Huo? There are many people with the surname Huo in the world. Im not the only one. Can you prove that Im the only Huo?
Your surname is Huo anyway. Everything in the Huo family has nothing to do with me! Even if Grandpa cant get you to be the one who manages the company, he cant get me to be that person either!
Are you not from the Huo family just because your surname is Lu? Youre also a son of the Huo family!
Huo Zhong, do you believe that Ill beat you up?
Come on, then. Do you think Im afraid of you?
Lu Weijian stepped forward and grabbed Huo Zhongs collar, and Huo Zhong also grabbed his collar. The two of them were about to fight.
Old Master Huo was furious, but he didnt have the strength to stop them. He was so angry that he started coughing violently.
The butler hurriedly went forward to support him and advised, Mr. Weijian, Mr. Zhong! Calm down!
The two young masters were both in a fit of anger. How could they calm down?
Lu Weijian thought about the pain his mother had suffered when she gave birth to him. How could he listen to all this now?
Huo Zhong was sent to the United States by his father, Huo Ye. Huo Ye had never cared about him and his mother again after that. Although he looked carefree on the outside, just thinking about it was depressing enough. How could he have any feelings for the Huo family?
The two of them fought back and forth, not giving in at all.
Old Master Huos old and weak voice shouted, Weijian, Huo Zhong!
It would have been fine if he hadnt shouted, but this shout agitated the two young masters even more.
Su Bei had seen many people fighting for family a.s.sets, and she had seen many people fight to the death for them. However, she had never seen such a scene of people fighting to the death for nothing.
What the h.e.l.l was going on?
Old Master Huo couldnt breathe, and his eyes rolled back. The butler was so anxious that he was about to cry. He begged, Mr. Lu, only you can stop this now! Please!
Su Bei finally knew why Old Master Huo had called Lu Heting over today. It turned out that he had estimated that the two of them might fight.
However, Old Master Huo might not have gotten his estimations right. They were not fighting over the a.s.sets but fighting over pus.h.i.+ng them away.
Old Master Huo also begged, Heting
Lu Heting was entrusted with an important task. Seeing Old Master Huo like this, he had to do something. He said, Enough!
Although his voice was soft, it was not weak at all. It exploded in Lu Weijian and Huo Zhongs ears at the same time.
The two men stopped what they were doing, but they kept their hands on each others collars. They looked like they were not going to give in to each other.
Lu Weijian looked at Lu Heting aggrievedly. Brother, you cant side with outsiders. Your biological brother has been asked to inherit the Huo familys business. Arent you going to interfere? Im a member of the Lu family through and through. Who wants to inherit the Huo familys things? Hurry up and interfere!
Huo Zhong also shouted, Lu Weijian, dont go there. Dont think that Im afraid of you just because you asked Lu Heting for help. Lu Heting, you too. Just take care of the Lu familys matters. You dont have to get involved in the Huo familys matters. Whoever has the Huo familys bloodline knows it best in their heart. Who should take over the Huo family has nothing to do with your Lu family!
