Chapter 239: The Hongmen Banquet
Fang Yuan returned to the office and angrily slammed a pile of papers on the desk.
She was obviously ready to deal with Jian Moran, but she didn't expect Huo Yanyan to be so special to Jian Moran, which was completely beyond her imagination and prediction.
Fang Yuan crossed her hands on her waist and gasped heavily, there was no one else in the office except her, so she muttered unscrupulously: "Jian Moran, I underestimated you too much, it seems that you are not a woman with only family background and appearance, but I will not admit defeat easily, Huo Yanyan ......"
She paused, took a deep breath, and her eyes became unusually determined: "Sooner or later, it will be mine." ”
It was almost six o'clock when Huo Yanyan's phone rang.
He was in the office, and his mobile phone was placed on the coffee table next to the sofa, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the ringtone, so he said to Jian Moran: "Dye, I can't leave here, you can help me answer the phone first." ”
"Can I pick it up? Wouldn't it be too good. Jian Moran just ate a small cake, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and subconsciously glanced at the phone screen, "It's Old Man Huo, probably talking about Huo Shenhao." ”
Huo Yanyan frowned slightly, looking a little displeased.
Jian Moran had already picked up the phone: "Do you still want to pick it up?" ”
If you don't pick it up, the time for automatic hang-up is coming.
"I'll do it." Huo Yanyan had already walked over and took the phone from Jian Moran's hand, he didn't want Jian Moran to hear some sounds that would make people extremely unhappy.
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Yanyan's phone was connected, he heard the old man Huo over there ignoring the question, with a faint sign of anger: "How can you hand over your eldest brother to the police, can't we solve it behind closed doors if something happens to our own family?" ”
Huo Yanyan pinched his phone and didn't speak.
Old Man Huo obviously didn't finish speaking, and continued to condemn: "You just made some achievements in the company, and you forgot who you are, right?" Make your own decisions without informing me of such an important matter? ”
His voice was so loud that even if Jian Moran wanted to pretend that he hadn't heard anything, it would be impossible.
Her face also sank, and she reached out to hold Huo Yanyan's other hand.
Huo Yanyan turned his head and smiled at him, and then said to the person on the other side of the phone: "Grandpa, my eldest brother was taken away by the police because he did something wrong, and he was just investigated in the past, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
After all, at the beginning, Huo Yanyan really didn't expect that this matter had something to do with him.
Old Man Huo sighed deeply, suddenly changed his tone, and said earnestly: "I know that it is not easy for you to get to the top just now, but you can't be as rigid and absolute as you in the shopping mall, if you offend everyone and don't give others any chance, in the future, no one will leave you a way to live." ”
Huo Yanyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled calmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will never come to that point." ”
Old Man Huo's tone paused and changed the subject: "Is that girl from the Jian family by your side?" Tonight, let's take her back to the old house for a meal, there are some things that can't be explained on the phone. ”
Huo Yanyan turned his head and looked at Jian Moran inquiringly.
Jian Moran, in fact, didn't want to agree, after waiting here for so long, he just wanted to spend time with Huo Yanyan for two people, but he didn't expect the plan to be disrupted again.
But the elders invited, and it was menacing, she obviously had no possibility of refusing, so she could only nod.
She nodded, and Huo Yanyan said to the person on the other side of the phone, "We will come over together." ”
At the end of the call, Huo Yanyan finally came back in a good mood at all, and it was also destroyed.
Jian Moran chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand and poked his cheek: "Okay, look at what your face has turned into, isn't it just to go back for a meal at a time, what the old man wants to say is nothing more than Huo Shenhao's business." ”
"I don't know what to do with it, Dye." Huo Yanyan looked at her with some embarrassment, "If Grandpa insists on letting me let him go, do I really have to act as if nothing has happened?" ”
Jian Moran knew that Huo Yanyan was in a dilemma.
He had just returned to the Huo family, if he behaved too much at Huo Shenhao at this time, everyone would definitely think that he was not right-minded, and even suspected that he was planning to return to the Huo family, just to drag Huo Shenhao into the water and take the entire Huo family for himself.
She frowned and sighed: "Old Man Huo is old, he definitely doesn't want to see your brothers kill each other, but Ember Yan, if you don't want to let Huo Shenhao go so simply, then you just follow your heart, he is the first to do it to you." ”
Huo Yanyan smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed Lu Yao's hair: "I know." ”
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this was so easy for Jian Moran to say.
I'm afraid that Old Man Huo is not just for Huo Shenhao, otherwise how could he deliberately tell him to take Jian Moran back with him?
I'm afraid it's a feast.
Huo Yanyan's worries were not superfluous.
When he came to Huo's house with him, dinner was just ready.
Old Man Huo took the lead and said, "Let's eat first." ”
Huo Yanyan and Jian Moran didn't have time to say anything, so they could only sit down to eat first.
After the meal, Old Man Huo took the initiative to mention it again: "I heard about what Shen Hao did to you last time, I have already taught him a hard lesson in this bastard boy, don't take it to heart." ”
These words were said to Jian Moran, and Jian Moran remembered what was going on almost instantly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
It's all in the past, and she comforts herself every day not to think about it anymore, desperately trying to get rid of any memories related to it.
Now it's finally about to forget, and it's been taken out again.
Huo Yanyan stretched out his hand to put his arm around Jian Moran's shoulder, and maintained it with an unkind face: "Grandpa, no one can persuade Ranran to forgive this matter, and it has already passed, just let it pass, why should Grandpa bring up the old thing again." ”
Old Man Huo blew out the teacup in front of him, picked it up and blew it, and asked meaningfully: "Is it really over?" ”
Jian Moran had a cold face and raised his eyes to look at the old man opposite: "What, doesn't grandpa want me to let go of this matter?" ”
"Of course I believe you've let it go, but ......" Old Man Huo's gaze slowly moved from Jian Moran to Huo Yanyan, and asked him, "Huo Yanyan, what about you?" Have you put it down too? ”
It's been so long since this incident, of course Huo Yanyan understands that the things he did against Huo Shenhao were all seen by Old Man Huo.
But the thing that came back today was obviously about Huo Shenhao buying employees of the same company, why did he bring this matter back to it?
Huo Yanyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and it took a few seconds to react, frowning and saying unhappily: "Grandpa thinks that I targeted my eldest brother because of this incident?" ”
He was already very angry, but he was trying to suppress his anger, he always knew that compared to him, an illegitimate son who was recognized and returned home halfway, Old Man Huo must have valued Huo Shenhao more.
But he didn't expect the other party to think so much about him and Jian Moran.
This matter is obviously involved in the interests of the company, but it is suspected of being mixed with his ambitions, why, does he feel that he is using this matter to take revenge on Huo Shenhao?
Jian Moran was equally angry.
But she knew that this was in the Huo family, and she was not married to Huo Yanyan after all, so it was not appropriate to speak rashly at this time.
Old Man Huo sighed deeply, and he had already drunk most of the tea in front of him, so he looked at Huo Yanyan and said slowly, "Isn't it?" I know you've been competing with your eldest brother, but you've always been in healthy competition before, but this time you've got the police involved, which is really a bit too much. ”
The disappointment in Huo Yanyan's eyes could barely be hidden for a moment.
His body changed, and Jian Moran, who was sitting next to him, felt it for the first time.
Jian Moran clearly felt that his back was straightened, and his breathing was chaotic and a little short.
But he quickly stabilized and whispered: "I think grandpa really misunderstood, this time the eldest brother was taken away by the police, it's really none of my business, it was the person he bribed who finally bit back and reported him, and the two policemen were present at the time, so it's inconvenient for me to stop the police from taking him away, right?" ”
Huo Yanyan's expression was a little indifferent, he didn't have any hope for family affection in his heart, but today, Old Man Huo's groundless suspicion and suspicion still made him feel cold.
Jian Moran reached out and held Huo Yanyan's hand under the table, silently giving him strength.
Old Man Huo squinted his eyes slightly, the calculation and essence in his eyes flashed, and he asked in a cold tone: "But you can obviously let the police not interfere in this matter, right?" ”
Huo Yanyan was comforted by Jian Moran, his expression had slowly calmed down, his tone had eased a lot, and he said indifferently: "He should have paid the price for doing something wrong, grandpa, I know that you have always been very partial and protective to your eldest brother, and he has been dealing with the company's affairs all these years." ”
Even in the face of Old Man Huo's gradually cold face, he still continued without changing his face: "I know that you have always been very optimistic about him, but now that the facts are in front of you, the losses he has brought to the company are immeasurable, since you have chosen me to be the acting president, it is impossible for me to be confused about the losses he has brought." ”
The teacup in Old Man Huo's hand slammed on the table, and he asked with a gloomy face: "So you won't just forget this matter, will you?" You don't want to give your big brother a chance at all. ”
He thought that if Huo Yanyan came back for a meal, this problem would be solved, but he didn't expect this result.
Huo Yanyan calmly responded to Old Man Huo's coercive gaze: "When the police investigate clearly, if the eldest brother doesn't do anything else, he will naturally be released, and he doesn't need me to save him." ”
The aura on Old Man Huo's body completely cooled down, staring at Huo Yanyan with a gloomy face, and said leisurely: "I really didn't expect that supporting you to the position of acting president would be a disobedient wolf that I forgot with my own hands, obviously it was a matter of your words, and your eldest brother could be detained out, don't you want to?" ”
"I don't want to." Huo Yanyan withstood the pressure, and his face remained unchanged.
"Presumptuous!" Old Man Huo slapped on the table, his face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Yanyan, our Huo family, no one has ever spent the night in the detention center, even if your eldest brother does something sorry for you, can't you give him a chance?" ”
Huo Yanyan lowered his eyes and was resolute.
"Old man." Jian Moran opened his mouth softly, "Don't you think you're completely embarrassing Ember Yan by doing this, it's a bit excessive, right?" ”
Jian Moran listened quietly all the time, thinking that even if Old Man Huo was too much, he wouldn't go too far, but he didn't expect that he didn't care about Huo Yanyan's feelings at all.
