Chapter 1075: He Deserved It
Hatred surge in Zhang Yuechan’s heart. The person in front of her was toying with her. He did not care and did not want to offend Sixth Brother. Ah Zhen’s death was definitely not an accident. It must have been Huo Ci, that bastard, who killed him. "Big Brother, only you can help me. Help Ah Zhen. If you don’t help me, I… I might as well accompany Ah Zhen!"
With that, she stood up and made up her mind. She took two quick steps and slammed her head against the wall.
Huo Ting was quick, he grabbed her arm and frowned. There was obvious impatience in his eyes. "Sister-in-law, don’t take things too hard. If Second Brother passes, you still have Ah Ze, Ah Cong, Xu’er, and Lin’er. You should think about your descendants. If they lost you too, how are they going to survive?"
The Huo family seemed to be harmonious, but which family didn’t have thoughts of getting more inheritance? They all wanted more assets and money. In his father’s eyes, he was an incompetent person who didn’t fought for anything. His father had always disliked him the most, so the heir he chose to inherit his wealth was the Second Brother.
Even though the Second Brother had tried to kill the Sixth Brother back then, his father had only broken his legs to teach him a lesson. In the future, he would still be in charge of the Huo Family’s business.
The brothers in the family all knew that the person their father had his eyes on the most was actually Sixth Brother. However, the Sixth Brother wasn’t in the Huo Family’s business. He was focused on enjoying life in the entertainment industry, so he could only settle for the next best thing and place his hopes on Second Brother.
"Big Brother, if you don’t agree to it today, I’m not going to live anymore. I’m going with Ah Zhen." Zhang Yuechan cried pitifully. "Ah Zhen, what sins have I committed? Why didn’t you take me with you?"
"Sister-in-law, before Dad’s illness acted up, Second Brother went to look for him!" Huo Ting was actually unwilling to mention this matter, but since she was being unreasonable, he had to settle the score with her. "How exactly did Dad’s illness act up? He’s now lying unconscious in the hospital, you and the Second Brother should know best!"
Zhang Yuechan’s body stiffened and her gaze wavered. She quickly calmed herself down and cried out at the top of her voice, "Ah Zhen, you should take me with you. You’re already gone, and your dear brother still wants to push the blame onto you."
"Don’t cry in front of me." Huo Ting was already annoyed. His eyes were cold. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but he couldn’t. He didn’t dare to help. "Don’t blame me for being heartless, everything happens for a reason. Your husband and you knew what the Second Brother did."
He
But in reality? He was petty. The grudge between him and Sixth Brother was like a thorn in his heart that would be pulled out sooner or later.
"Big Brother, I’m the one who doesn’t know how to read people. Big Brother isn’t willing to help because he’s afraid of Sixth Brother, so I won’t force him. I’ll handle Ah Zhen’s matter myself. I won’t let him pass on without getting this resolved." Zhang Yuechan pushed Huo Ting away and turned to leave.
"Sister-in-law, as the elder brother, let me give you a kind reminder. Let Second Brother’s matter pass. It’s not good for anyone to pursue it." Huo Ting’s eyes were deep. "The dead are already dead. The living should live well and not cause trouble for themselves."
"Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother." Zhang Yuechan enunciated each word as hatred surged in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and dug her fingers into her palms before turning around to leave.
When Jiang Meiyun saw Zhang Yuechan leave, she walked out of the bedroom and said, "Hubby, let’s not get involved in the matters of the second branch. If we anger the Sixth Brother, how will that bastard deal with us?"
The men of the Huo Family were all bark and no bite. They said whatever they wanted, but when push came to shove, they were useless. With the death of the Second Brother, the rest of them were as obedient as quails. No one dared to speak up for fear that the Sixth Brother would deal with them.
"Don’t talk nonsense when you go out, especially in the next two days. There will be many people coming to pay their respects, so watch your mouth." Huo Ting knew that she was a loose-lipped person who dared to say anything.
"Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I run my mouth off?" Zhang Yuechan frowned and lowered her voice mysteriously. "Do you really think Sixth Brother did this?"
"I just told you not to spout nonsense." Huo Ting glared at her and lectured her with a dark face. "We brothers of the Huo family love each other. Why would we do something as bad as killing each other?"
Zhang Yuechan reached out and hit him. "Don’t think that I’m a fool. I know everything."
Even if Sixth Brother wasn’t the one who killed Second Brother, his death definitely had something to do with him. However, the Second Brother wasn’t a good person either. Old Master was in good health, why did he suddenly collapse after meeting him?
In just a few days, he had been resuscitated several times and was still in the ICU!
If Old Master’s illness was caused by anger towards the Second Brother, then he deserved to die.
The Huo family had always followed the traditional funeral procession, so they didn’t go to the funeral parlor. Huo Zhen’s mourning hall was placed in the Huo family’s main residence. The black and white photos were surrounded by chrysanthemums, wreaths and couplets sent by family and friends.
Apart from Su Xiyin, who was accompanying the Old Master in the hospital, everyone in the Huo family was busy greeting the guests who came to pay their respects.
As the granddaughter of the Huo family, Ling Sheng’s second uncle had passed away, so she naturally had to help out at home. However, Xiaoqi was a child, so it was not good for him to be in a place with dead people. He was afraid that the dead people would spook him, so he was taken away by Ji Fanchen and Cheng Ye to play.
Huo Xuanzhou stood beside Ling Sheng and looked at Huo Zhen’s black and white photo. There was no sadness in his eyes, but there was a tinge of sorrow. "Little Sister, from now on, you can do whatever you want in the Huo family."
"Me? Doing whatever I want? Who do you think I am?" Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him. However, she realized that after she returned, no matter what she did, the aunts would fight to stop her. The uncles looked at her with fear in their eyes.
She knew that Huo Zhen didn’t die from a sudden relapse. He was killed because he deserved it. He was the one who caused Grandpa’s relapse and Grandma’s pain.
Xiaoqi was kidnapped and almost sold into the Dark Net. He was the mastermind and she had always been ruthless to her enemies..
