n from the age of 18, after she was admitted to university, has never returned to her ancestral home. She is an "outsider" in the Huo family, and the old man doesn't force her."Isn't it like I'm almos...Ho Mingzheng wasn't one to follow rules from a young age. He was determined to attend military school, even when everyone tried to dissuade him. It took all their efforts to change his mind. If it weren't for Huo Yuan's disability later on, he probably would have already been serving in the army.

He would say something like this, giving up all pretense, so he must be really angry.

Elder Huo was both angry and uneasy. When Huo Mingzheng's temper flared, he felt a bit intimidated. After all, if it hadn't been for his suspicions...

He won't rush him into getting married.

Now he regrets it so much his intestines are turning green.

"Master, the Shen family has arrived," the steward reported.

Old Master Huo clenched his cane and pounded it heavily, saying in a deep voice, "Does the Shen family still have the face to visit No! Drive them out!"

"Wait," Huo Mingzheng called to the butler, "Please let them in. The fault lies with them, not us. Let's see what they have to say."

Shen Rushan pulled Mrs. Shen along the way, the rain wasn't too heavy, but because the two were in a hurry and couldn't hold their umbrella well, they were drenched most of the way.

"Ho Mingzheng..." Shen Rushan's face changed slightly upon seeing Ho Mingzheng on the Tai-shi chair. "Where is the old master"

At the Huo family, speaking to the grandfather was much easier than speaking to Huo Mingzheng.

Ho Mingzheng took the teacup from the servant, lifted the lid, brushed away the tea leaves, and glanced at him, "Grandpa has high blood pressure and is too weak to go back to rest."

Shen Rushan was in the wrong and gritted his teeth secretly. He took a deep breath and said, "Mingzheng, it's my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I have already broken Shen Wei's leg. I know this might still not satisfy you. You say what you want, and the Shen family will definitely compensate you."

He had to bow his head for his own career. He worked hard to get to where he is today, and he has even bigger ambitions.

I'm afraid of provoking the Huo family, because if they get angry, they will expose Shen Wei's ugly secrets to everyone. At that time, the entire Shen family will be ruined, and his career will be over!

Huo Mingzheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mrs. Shen couldn't help but choke back tears, thinking of Wei who would be disabled from now on. Her heart ached like knives.

Shen Rushan pinched her hard.

Huomingzheng ignored their little actions and said coldly, "I don't want your Shen family's compensation."

Mrs. Shen was delighted inwardly.

Shen Rushan knew Huo Mingzheng wasn't a good person. He didn't want the compensation from the Shen family, not because he didn't need it, but because he looked down on it.

But he didn't have what Huo Mingzheng wanted. The Huo family had mountains of gold and silver, lacking nothing except...

No, that project was supposed to be given to Shen Group.

He and Mr. Shen jointly hold company shares, but Mr. Shen is in the open while he remains discreet behind the scenes, collecting company dividends. The comprehensive health resort project guarantees Mr. Shen a windfall, which will boost Nan City's GDP.

There is no one who doesn't love money.

He was absolutely unwilling to give up this piece of fat.

"Mingzheng, I know you were wronged by this."

With a clang, Huo Mingzheng threw the teacup lid back. "Butler, see our guests out."

"Mingzheng, let's talk this through properly." Shen Rushan raised his hand to stop the butler.

"I have nothing to say to you." Huo Mingzheng put down his teacup and stood up, picking up the phone on the table.

Shen Rushan strode up to him and stopped him, "The Shen Group has an overseas port project. Are you interested"

Ho Mingzheng's footsteps faltered, and Shen Ruyan instantly felt that there was still room for maneuver in the situation. His heart just let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shen, are you saying you want to bribe me" Ho Mingzheng's voice turned cold.

Shen Rushan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained: "I know that using this method to appease your anger is not the way of a gentleman."

Ho Mingzheng said indifferently, "Butler, what are you standing there for Mr. Shen's clothes are wet, let him go back and change his clothes.". In that dimly lit area, the light from the front hall cast upon his back, outlining a hazy silhouette.The man was tall and imposing, like a mountain, with an awe-inspiring presence."I'm too late."
