Huo Botao's face suddenly darkened, "Jin Xi, we are all doing this for the best, how can you talk to your elders like this?"
"If you want to convey your opinions to me, then I've received it." Huo Jinxi said, "You can leave."
After saying that, Huo Jinxi stood up and turned around to go upstairs.
"Jin Xi!" Huo Botao also stood up and said, "In the past, you had the final say on everything at home and in the company, and everyone in the family listened to you. But recently, the economic environment has been so bad, and the family has been troubled.
If you continue to be so arbitrary, I'm afraid the entire Huo family will be defeated by you."
Jin Xi slowly stopped and turned to look at Huo Botao, "Second uncle, in whose hands do you think the power should be given so that the Huo family will not be defeated?"
"I have no intention of taking away your power!" Huo Botao said, "I just feel that you can't be so arbitrary!"
Seeing that his uncle and nephew were about to argue, Huo Yunqing quickly sat down next to Mr. Huo, "Dad, tell me about Jin Xi——"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo and Huo Jinxi looked at each other and said slowly: "Eight years ago, I personally handed over the Huo family and this family to Jin Xi. So far, he has done a great job. I have nothing to say.
explain."
"Dad!" Huo Yunqing's expression changed slightly, "Then do you think this matter should be handled this way?"
Mr. Huo leaned heavily on his crutch and said in a deep voice: "I have already said that since I have handed over this family to Jin Xi, then all matters will be decided by him. If you are dissatisfied, you can stop
Become a member of the Huo family!"
After saying this, Mr. Huo also stood up and walked upstairs on crutches.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to support Mr. Huo and slowly walked upstairs.
For a while, only the Huo Botao brother and sister were left in the living room, each with their own thoughts and looking at each other.
Mr. Huo was helped up to the second floor by Huo Jinxi, and then he said in a low voice: "Have you seen what they are thinking?"
Hearing this, Huo Jinxi chuckled and said, "The company has become stable in the past two years, and monsters and monsters have gradually appeared... I have expected it."
Although the Huo family gradually developed and grew after he took over, a large family like the Huo family with many elders could not allow a junior like him to control all the power of life and death.
This situation happened today, which was actually much later than he expected.
It's a pity that with the current situation of the company, those who want to seize power and expel him are far from strong enough.
"You don't need to be angry." Huo Jinxi said, "I will take care of these things."
After hearing this, Mr. Huo responded in a low voice, and then said: "This is not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is your mother, and Qian Qian Qi Ran——"
"I know." Huo Jinxi replied without saying anything more.
After sending Mr. Huo back to his room, Huo Jinxi turned around and walked into Huo Qiran's room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Huo Qiran sitting cross-legged on the bed. In front of him was a pile of gifts that had made him very excited before, but at this moment, there was really no trace of excitement on his face.
Mu Qian was trying hard to attract his attention with the things in front of her, but he was never attracted.
"What's wrong?" Huo Jinxi walked in slowly, sat down by the bed, and picked up a set of children's books, "Didn't you like these gifts just now?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian chuckled and said, "He heard some noise downstairs just now. He thought it was a quarrel and was a little scared."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi raised his eyes and looked at Mu Qian.
Being frightened by such a movement shows that he still hasn't gotten over the shock of yesterday.
"We're not arguing." Huo Jinxi said to Huo Qiran, "It's just that uncle and grandpa are rushing to say something to dad, just like everyone in your class is rushing to answer the teacher's questions, so there is a bit of a quarrel."
Huo Qiran listened and nodded somewhat reluctantly.
Huo Jinxi once again handed the children's book in his hand to him. This time, Huo Qiran finally reached out and took it.
Mu Qian leaned quietly at the door, watching this scene with deep eyebrows.
It was not until night that Huo Qiran's mood gradually calmed down. After drinking milk, he brushed his teeth and lay down on the bed with Mu Qian's company.
Huo Jinxi wanted to go out. After saying good night to Huo Qiran, he glanced at Mu Qian again, then dimmed the lights for them and turned around to go out.
Mu Qian hugged Huo Qiran, hummed softly, and listened silently to Huo Jinxi's departure.
…
Huo Jinxi stayed there for nearly five hours and returned to his old house around three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, everyone in the old house should have fallen asleep, but when Huo Jinxi went up to the second floor, he saw Mu Qian sitting in the small living room.
An old movie was playing on the TV. Mu Qian was wrapped in a thin quilt and nestled alone on the sofa, carefully watching the almost silent movie.
Huo Jinxi stepped forward slowly, and Mu Qian did not look back.
The moment he sat down behind Mu Qian, Mu Qian leaned into his arms.
She said nothing, and neither did Huo Jinxi.
In the silence of the night, the two of them sat in a small hall with no lights on, watching the old movie together.
Mu Qian started watching it from the beginning, so she was naturally immersed in it now.
Huo Jinxi was not interested in this type of movie in the first place, and he hadn't seen the beginning. He tried to devote half a day to it, but he still didn't know what the movie was about.
When the movie finished playing, Mu Qian took a long breath and gave a brief evaluation: "A bad movie."
Huo Jinxi was silent for a moment and then said, "You know it's a bad movie, but you still watch it so seriously."
"I have to concentrate on taking care of Qi Ran from now on." Mu Qian said, "If I don't hurry up and watch it now, I'm afraid I won't even have time to watch bad movies in the future."
Huo Jinxi listened and said nothing for a while.
After watching the movie, Mu Qian didn't move for a while, as if she had no intention of going back to her room.
Huo Jinxi knew clearly what she was waiting for.
"You want to take Qi Ran away, right?" Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian stared at the TV in front of her, but her attention was focused on the man behind her.
It was indeed her plan to take Huo Qiran away, away from Cheng Manshu, and away from the rights and wrongs of the Huo family.
She had also thought about the circumstances under which she would raise this matter with Huo Jinxi.
She thought that Huo Jinxi would be very angry and disapproval, and the two would probably have a big quarrel over this.
The result was nothing.
In this quiet and peaceful night, she leaned in his arms and talked about this matter.
After a moment of silence, Mu Qian replied: "In my opinion, nothing is more important than Qi Ran growing up safely and happily."
