Chapter 452: Stalemate
The matter of Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen became the focus.
During this time, Huo Yichen's days at home can almost be described as 24-hour monitoring, except for private time, the rest are watched, and his every move has to be reported to Huo Hong.
The Huo family is like a cage, locking Huo Yichen in it and being airtight, and even his mobile phone is restricted, cutting off Huo Yichen's contact with the outside world.
It was difficult for Murong Qiao to get the news from Huo Yichen again.
She was sitting in the cafΓ© right now, and there was a familiar person sitting across from her.
It was the housekeeper who met in the hospital when Huo Yichen was in a car accident last time, and Murong Qiao also met with the other party this time.
"The young master is fine at the moment, but he has lost contact with the outside world." The housekeeper is not in a hurry.
When Murong Qiao learned about the situation, he understood why he hadn't received a reply to the messages he had sent for a few days.
She stared down at the coffee, her mind clearly drifting away. "It's not a long-term solution."
They can't follow Huo Hong's rhythm.
If the other party is allowed to take the initiative, it is simply the worst situation.
"At least get out of Huo Hong's control first." She whispered.
It's hard to say anything else, but Huo Hong looked at Huo Yichen and couldn't do anything else.
"Time should be fast," suggested the housekeeper, "once the company has time to spare, it will inevitably be rectified." β
The housekeeper is the person who is most familiar with Huo Hong, and naturally knows how Huo Hong is resolute.
During the time when Huo Yichen was at home, Huo Hong could pull out a few nails every day when he went to the company, Jiang was still old and spicy, even if Huo Hong didn't go to see the company for a long time, his prestige still existed.
"If the young master wants to go out, he needs an opportunity." The butler shook his head.
Regarding the matter of Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen, the housekeeper was naturally on their side.
But he is also one of the most trusted people under Huo Hong's subordinates, during this time, the atmosphere at home is serious and tense, and there are many people watching outside, even if the housekeeper is powerful, he can't take Huo Yichen out in this situation.
According to Huo Yichen's words, Huo Hong has not suspected the housekeeper now, and the usefulness of his stay by Huo Hong's side is naturally greater.
Murong Qiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "In two days, Huo Hong invited my brother to Huo's house. β
This is just the right opportunity.
"It's just ......," Murong Qiao hesitated after speaking, "but I'm afraid we won't be able to get out." β
It's an opportunity, but Huo Hong is certainly prepared.
When the time comes to discuss the marriage, not only Huo Hong and Murong Chen will make the decision, but she and Huo Yichen will definitely be present at that time.
How to run is a big problem.
According to Huo Hongna's character, I can't wait to see the two of them get the certificate on the spot, and it has become difficult to find a reason to leave.
This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, but the housekeeper glanced at his watch, and today's time is no longer enough.
He got up and bowed apologetically to Murong Qiao, "I'm sorry, Miss Murong, I need to go back to the Huo family first." β
"I'll mention this matter to the young master, and we'll see you another day."
The butler offered to say goodbye.
Huo Hong naturally did not limit the entry and exit time of the housekeeper, but after coming out for a long time, he naturally could not avoid being suspicious.
The housekeeper was cautious, and after ending the meeting with Murong Qiao, he turned back to the Huo family.
As soon as I came back and pushed the door open, I saw Huo Hong sitting in the living room.
The butler's heart jumped, and he stepped forward and saluted with a calm face.
"Sorry, I didn't know if you came back early......"
Huo Hong used to deal with affairs in the company at this time, but now he suddenly appeared here, and even the housekeeper didn't receive the news.
Huo Hong stared at him for a while, "It's okay, there is a temporary change in the itinerary today." β
"How's it going at home?" He asked casually.
The butler replied truthfully, "Everything is normal." β
The two of them answered many questions in the form of a question and an answer, and the housekeeper answered many questions from Huo Hong, all of which were ordinary things, but going home early today still aroused the vigilance in the housekeeper's heart.
The housekeeper replied with his mouth, his eyes looked at the photo album in Huo Hong's hand that he had been looking through since he entered the door, and after thinking about it a little, he remembered that this was a photo album about Huo Tan.
From childhood to adulthood, even Huo Hong's rare signboards to go home and play with his son several times are among them, allowing people to get a glimpse of Huo Hong's rare side.
But now the other person in the album is no longer alive, and it is already a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
"Then who do you think is better, Huo Yichen or Huo Xiuyuan." Huo Hong suddenly turned.
This problem is more dangerous than before.
The housekeeper naturally felt that Huo Yichen was better, but looking at the nostalgia in Huo Hong's eyes when he looked at the album, he had to be careful with his words.
"In terms of ability, Young Master Huo Yichen is better, and in terms of ability, it is Huo Xiuyuan who wins your heart the most."
The housekeeper wanted to say more, but Huo Hong suddenly sighed.
"If Huo Tan is still hereβ"
These words happened to fall into the ears of Huo Xiuyuan, who had just returned home, and when he heard Huo Hong's voice mention the name that frightened him, his eyebrows jumped a little.
But the footsteps revealed his existence, and feeling Huo Hong's sudden gaze here, Huo Xiuyuan walked in hard.
"Father." He screamed obediently.
The last time he lost his temper in the company was seen by many people, Huo Xiuyuan knew that he was not very rational at that time, and he had been working hard obediently since that day, and the whole person was a lot more settled.
When Huo Hong saw Huo Xiuyuan, he put the album aside, and it only took a moment to change back to the way it was before.
"There's a project the day after tomorrow that you're ready for, and if you can't talk about it, don't come back." Huo Hong's voice turned cold.
Huo Xiuyuan's eyes darkened, and he nodded in response, but he was still unwilling in his heart.
He remembered that Huo Hong had set the day after tomorrow to invite Murong Chen to come to the Huo family to discuss the marriage contract, and Huo Hong obviously wanted to deliberately support himself.
He has always liked to exclude all influencing factors.
What's more, Huo Hong has not yet reached the point of Alzheimer's, he remembers what Huo Xiuyuan said before, but he has already settled on Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao in his heart.
Then there were two footsteps on the stairs, and Huo Xiuyuan looked up and saw Huo Yichen, whom he hated the most, and a man walking down from it.
That person was Huo Yichen's nearest teacher, so it would be more appropriate to say that it was humanoid monitoring.
Huo Yichen had no expression on his face, and only stood beside Huo Hong after going downstairs, and reported today's learning results in a cold voice, and then did not speak.
This is the normal state recently, Huo Xiuyuan saw that the other party finally succumbed to Huo Hong's discipline methods, and he couldn't help but feel some revenge happiness in his heart.
Even if he can fight by himself, he will only look the same in front of Huo Hong.
"Master Huo, I'll go first." The man said respectfully, and only turned around and left after receiving a nod from Huo Hong.
The housekeeper naturally went to give it away, so only Huo Hong and Huo Yichen and Huo Xiuyuan, who were annoyed by the two people, were left in the living room.
"You come with me to the study." Huo Hong got up.
These words were obviously said to Huo Yichen.
Presumably, the next conversation was not suitable for Huo Xiuyuan to be present.
Huo Xiuyuan stared at the two of them and went upstairs, and felt even more irritated when he saw Huo Hong being biased towards Huo Yichen in front of him like this.
His efforts and flattery over the years are no match for a wild seed that Huo Hong casually found home.
At this moment, the thoughts were churning in his heart, which made Huo Xiuyuan extremely uncomfortable.
And Huo Yichen seemed to be able to hear his heart, and glanced back at Huo Xiuyuan, his eyes seemed to be smiling, as if he was mocking him, and he passed by lightly.
