After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Dragging to the Crematorium
Huo Mingxuan is here?

Zhouzhou, in a sudden burst of energy, leaped off the sofa and dashed to the door, poking her head out with a displeased expression. “What brings you here?”

As the words fell, a figure emerged from behind Huo Mingxuan, arms laden with gifts, smiling warmly. “Zhouzhou.”

Spotting her, Zhouzhou’s face instantly lit up with a smile. “Grandma Huo!”

She swung the door open and dashed out, looking up with curiosity. “Grandma Huo, why are you here?”

Grandma Huo looked at her, her face also brimming with a smile. “Just dropping by, am I welcome?”

“Absolutely!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, delighted, bouncing ahead to lead the way.

As she ran, she called out, “Grandma, Grandma Huo is here.”

Indeed, Grandma Qin also rose to greet them, observing Grandma Huo with Huo Mingxuan and the gifts, sensing the air of a parent bringing a child to apologize.

Amused by her own thoughts, Grandma Qin chuckled softly.

Hearing the sound, Grandma Huo and Huo Mingxuan glanced over, puzzled.

Seeing this, Grandma Huo quickly restrained her smile, clearing her throat and stepping aside. “Please, come in.”

Zhouzhou also placed a water cup on the coffee table, offering them water.

Grandma Huo was instantly charmed by the young girl, fondly patting her head, growing fonder with each passing moment.

Such a lovely girl, yet why did her son describe her as cunning and even make her cry?

With this thought, she gave Huo Mingxuan a stern look.

Huo Mingxuan lowered his head, saying nothing.

With a sigh of resignation, Grandma Huo took Zhouzhou’s hand. “I’ve heard about today’s incident. So, I brought him here to apologize to you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou glanced at Huo Mingxuan, snorting.

Then she turned to Grandma Huo, flashing a brilliant smile, astonishing in her quick change of demeanor.

“Grandma Huo, why didn’t you bring Little Skinny Pole with you?” Bringing up this topic, Grandma Huo sighed again. “Do you think I didn’t want to? It’s because someone made Ji’an angry. Ji’an is ignoring even me now.”

As she spoke, she cast a glance at the “culprit” beside her.

Zhouzhou looked over and instantly understood, unable to help but smirk with a hint of schadenfreude.

Nevertheless, she held Grandma Huo’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma Huo is a good person. Little Skinny Pole is probably just displacing anger and will come around tomorrow.”

Grandma Huo thought the same. She was only being dragged down by her own son’s grievances. It had nothing to do with her.

Unable to resist, she lifted Zhouzhou onto her lap, smiling warmly. “By the way, Zhouzhou, I’ve heard about your collaboration. How about we team up as well?”

Zhouzhou initially thought Grandma Huo was here to intercede for Huo Mingxuan and hesitated to accept. But upon hearing Grandma Huo’s words, her ears perked up, and she leaned in to ask Grandma Huo, “Should I collaborate with you?”

Grandma Huo was sharp and instantly understood what the young girl was concerned about. Without hesitation, she nodded, “Yes, just us, without him.”

This brought a smile to Zhouzhou’s face. She hopped off Grandma Huo’s lap and took her hand, heading towards the study. “Grandma Huo, let’s discuss upstairs.”

Grandma Huo went along with her suggestion. “Alright, let’s go.”

Seeing this, Qin Er immediately followed suit.

He wanted to discuss business too!

With the trio heading upstairs, Huo Mingxuan was left alone under the scrutiny of the Qin family.

Ye Lingfeng looked him up and down, speaking lightly, “Did you make Zhouzhou cry?”

Qin Lie nodded, “It was him.”

Instantly, the gaze of everyone from the Qin family turned fierce.

Qin Ren slowly took off his glasses, a smile hiding his true intentions. “Uncle Huo, shall we talk about the lawsuit?”

Huo Mingxuan: “…”

Helpless, he could only say, “I never intended to cheat her. When she said those things at first, I was indeed angry and felt unreliable. But even if the collaboration failed, I didn’t intend to keep the ten thousand deposit.”

Who knew the little girl with such a temper would even return the money to him?

Where was the greed he anticipated?

Seeing through his intentions, Ye Lingfeng snorted lightly. “With me and Qin Lie around, who cares about your money.”

His chubby daughter didn’t lack money at all.

Most importantly, although Zhouzhou loved money, she didn’t accept just any money.

Did he think his daughter was easily fooled?

Qin Lie remained silent, but his eyes clearly conveyed his meaning.

That’s right, that’s how it is.

Huo Mingxuan was speechless, unable to come up with any explanation.

Thinking of today’s events, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Just as he rejected the idea, he changed his mind and went over to ask to join, only to be completely ignored by his son. His only good trait had apparently turned into a despicable flaw.

Unable to bear it, when his mother said she would bring him to the Qin family to apologize, he came without a second thought.

He realized that whether he and Huo Ji’an could reconcile depended on this little girl from the Qin family.

There was no other way. His son always listened to her.

Now that he was here, he didn’t hesitate to ask, “Is there any way you can help us father and son reconcile? As long as it works, I will be very grateful.”

Ye Lingfeng had the most say in this matter, but why should he help him?

After giving him a few glances, Ye Lingfeng leaned back in his chair, full of disdain.

He said, “You mistreat Ji’an. Why should he reconcile with you? It’s impossible.”

Following suit, Qin Ren stabbed at his sore spot, “Reconciliation means restoring the good relationship we had before. I’m afraid Uncle Huo can’t even reach that point.”

Hearing this, Huo Mingxuan’s face alternated between red and white.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

Seeing him like this, Grandma Qin felt a bit sorry and softened her tone, reminding him, “What do you think is the breakthrough in this matter?”

“Lack…” Just as he uttered a word, he suddenly realized something, quickly swallowing the rest of his words, clearing his throat, and changing the subject. “Zhouzhou.”

She had the best relationship with Huo Ji’an.

But Grandma Huo shook her head. “Zhouzhou can only assist. The core issue involves someone else.”

Someone else?

Huo Mingxuan thought it over and a figure came to mind, his face darkening instantly.

“Yu Ze.”

Grandma Huo was about to smile in relief when she heard him continue, “I’ll pressure him immediately, make him lose his job, and be despised by everyone. Let’s see if he’ll return Huo Ji’an by then.”

Grandma Qin: “…”

The Qin family: “…”

Ye Lingfeng: “…”

Well, there’s no hope left.

Just take him directly to the crematorium.
