"Grandma, knowing that the illegitimate child has returned to London with his new bride, as the younger brother, I should at least say hello, right? Coincidentally, I heard you’re having coffee here today with our sister-in-law, so I decided to join in instead of gambling on horses or gas."
Compared to Huo Zun, Huo Si was even more nonchalant and carefree, his deanor was a bit free-spirited, which inevitably made people surprised by his playboy nature.
His words were filled with sarcasm, playfulness, and even a hint of coquettishness towards Isabella.
Hua Nuan heard this and curled her lips into a cold smile.
Ha... for soone like Huo Si, Isabella actually thought of asking Huo Zun to support him? Does that align with her own conscience?
Hua Nuan couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache for Huo Zun, dealing with such a Huo Family.
Isabella, hearing Huo Si repeatedly calling Huo Zun an illegitimate child, imdiately scolded him: "Shut up, Huo Si, you haven’t improved at all. How can you say such things in front of Hua Nuan? Huo Zun is your elder brother, that’s an indisputable fact. He’s not an illegitimate child; he’s the head of the Huo Family and your elder whom you should learn from in the future, understand?"
Huo Si, as if hearing a great joke, squinted his eyes at Hua Nuan’s sowhat tense figure, obviously suppressing anger, and he curled his lips saying, "Grandma, I don’t quite understand your words because back then, it was Dad who kept shouting ’illegitimate child’ in front of you, and you didn’t argue, instead, you scolded Dad for being young and reckless and blad him for causing such a ss."
Hua Nuan: "..."
"Besides, when the illegitimate child and the wild woman ca back to the Huo Family, you and Dad also called that woman a wild woman. Alas, they say juniors should learn from their elders, so I’m learning from you. You can’t scold ."
Huo Si acted spoiled and willful like a child, but as Hua Nuan listened to the man’s seemingly childish words, she could clearly feel the ominous vibe from the man, along with his venomous ruthlessness.
This... Huo Si is not just a playboy.
He’s clearly ruthless.
Sly words are often scarier than blatant ferocity.
"Huo Si... are you trying to anger to death?"
Not wanting to reveal everything in front of Hua Nuan, Isabella indeed used to have bias against Yang Ruo, but Huo Zun is still her grandson, she would not stoop so low.
Isabella was furious, almost wishing to swing her cane fiercely at Huo Si.
...
Although Isabella was angry with Huo Si’s words and actions, it was clear that she spoiled Huo Si as her grandson.
Not wanting to waste more ti watching grandma pamper her unruly little grandson, Hua Nuan discreetly pursed her lips, thinking of a way to leave. Just then, the butler, who had been waiting at the door, noticed Hua Nuan hadn’t co out and quickly approached, "Madam, are you alright?"
The butler was not traveling alone; there were also well-equipped rcenaries behind him. This arrangent clearly showed that Huo Zun was worried about his little wife and assigned people to protect her.
Hua Nuan looked at the concern in the butler’s eyes and the rcenaries’ posture, seemingly implying that if anything happened to her, they would take down the Huo Family.
"It’s no big deal, the old lady and the young master of the Huo Family were just joking with ."
Hua Nuan raised her hand to signal the butler to step back, then looked at Isabella, who was about to explain, and spoke calmly.
"Madam, you don’t need to explain to . Your grandson has always been raised by you... now when things happen, you should bear the responsibility, right?"
"Besides, I married Huo Zun, not the Huo Family, so I’m not interested in Huo Family affairs. But... a friendly reminder, please take care of the young master of the Huo Family in the future, stealing is wrong, this ti, on behalf of Huo Zun, I’ll let it go, next ti, I’ll break his arm and send him to the police station, ignoring anyone’s face."
After saying that, Hua Nuan raised her lips into a slight smile, no longer looking at the grandmother and grandson, and quickly followed the butler out of the cafe.
Isabella was furious, feeling that Hua Nuan had blatantly given her a cold shoulder.
This woman, who married into the Huo Family, seed to have developed so skills.
She was utterly infuriating.
Unlike the old lady’s annoyance, Huo Si looked at Hua Nuan with great interest, filled with curiosity and inquiry about the woman.
What a peculiar Chinese woman.
No wonder she managed to make Huo Zun support her for six full years, marry her, and let her beco the Huo Family’s young lady.
To know, that position was one countless socialites fought fiercely to secure but never succeeded.
"Grandma, I find this little Hua Nuan quite interesting."
Among brothers, the way they call won tends to be similar.
Isabella’s face darkened at hearing Huo Si call Hua Nuan "little Hua Nuan."
"You’re just too reckless; everything I did today was for whom? You... you... actually ca to ss things up, shouting about illegitimate children, are you trying to damage the Huo Family?"
Hearing Isabella’s scolding, Huo Si was not angry but smiled more freely at the corners of his mouth.
"Grandma, do you care about or the Huo Family?"
"You..."
Isabella was caught off guard by Huo Si’s straightforward question, her face slightly changed.
"Grandma, why do I feel you care more about the Huo Family than about the illegitimate child or ..."
"Nonsense!"
Isabella interrupted directly, "Huo Si, that’s enough..."
"Grandma, you seem to be enraged because of embarrassnt."
Huo Si’s lips curled up, narrowing his eyes while observing Isabella, and the smile in his eyes was not genuine but cold.
"Huo Si, the day after tomorrow, Huo Zun is leaving London. I’m inviting him ho for a family dinner tomorrow, and this ti, you must attend."
Upon hearing this, Huo Si raised his lips in contemplation and said, "Yes, this ti, I also want to attend."
