Chapter 340 Not Allowing Him to Leave
Mo Jiu nodded and replied without hiding anything, “She should have been sent back to her room by the Kang family.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu stood up and tidied up her clothes. She waved her hand casually and instructed in a low voice, “Take Huo Xuan back first. I’ll go meet the Kang family.”
Once Mo Zhu spoke, Mo Jiu instantly felt supported and more confident, as if he had heard Huo Xuan’s personal order. Having worked with the girl so many times, Mo Zhu’s status in his heart had already improved so much that it was almost comparable to Huo Xuan’s!
Carrying Huo Xuan on his back, he followed Mo Zhu out the door.
Seeing their figures appear in the main hall, Lin Yuan rushed over from the entrance and raised her hand to stop them. She immediately cursed, “What? You want to take Huo Xuan away under my watch? Unless you give my Ying’er an explanation, there’s no room for negotiation!”
When Xu Huan heard this, he immediately stood up and criticized Lin Yuan angrily, “Mrs. Lin, you’re wrong, aren’t you? Everyone knows what the truth is. If we really find out anything, we definitely won’t be in the wrong. When Huo Xuan wakes up, we’ll naturally come back to the Kang family to settle the scores. If you continue to deliberately stop us, not to mention what Uncle Huo and Auntie Chen will do, even our Xu family won’t let this matter rest!”
At this moment, Xu Huan couldn’t be bothered with the interests of his family. Everyone in the noble families in Beijing knew that he, Xu Huan, had grown up together with Huo Xuan since he was young. For the Kang family to dare to touch Huo Xuan under his watch, not only was it equivalent to falling out with the Huo family, but it was also equivalent to not respecting the Xu family. In that case, there was no need for him to show mercy to the Kang family.
After saying this, before he could continue to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, Lin Yuan had already taken a step forward and said angrily, “Good, very good. I don’t care about the Huo and Xu families. Today, in the Kang family’s territory, no one can take Huo Xuan away.” After a pause, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and turned to look at the Kang family’s bodyguard who was standing quietly at the door. She ordered in a low voice, “Someone come! Look after the Kang family’s door and windows tightly. If anyone dares to break in to bring
Once she said this, everyone in the Huo family, excluding Huo Tao and Chen Man, retreated a few steps in fear and hid in the corner.
The Kang family had been developing better and better in recent years. Their abilities were far from what the other Huo family’s branches could catch up to. In addition, the Kang family had recently developed quite a number of underground forces. Therefore, everyone in the Huo family knew that there were many skilled bodyguards and guards in the Kang family hiding in the dark. They were all afraid that Lin Yuan would be unhappy and ask someone to kill them.
In this situation, as the only male member of the Huo family other than Huo Tao, Huo Peng closed his eyes hard, gritted his teeth, and took two steps forward. He took the initiative to persuade Huo Tao, “Brother, it’s really not good to go head-on with the Kang family now. As the saying goes, endure for a moment and everything will be calm. Take a step back and the world will be clear. Why don’t you listen to my advice? Anyway, Xuan’er and this girl aren’t married yet. Otherwise, we can take this opportunity to end the engagement. Compared to this country bumpkin, isn’t it better to be closer to the Kang family?” When Huo Peng said this, the Huo family, who were already frightened by Lin Yuan and huddled in the corner, trembling silently, all pretended to go along with him. “That’s right, Brother, Sister-in-law, Second Brother is right. Coincidentally, the Huo family and the Kang family are both here today. We can also be considered witnesses. Setting this marriage will definitely be beneficial to the two families.”
“We watched Ying’er grow up too. The Kang family has been in-laws with the Huo family for so many years. Everyone knows each other well. It couldn’t be any better if we were closer!”
“That’s right, that’s right. There have been so many new talents in Beijing recently, and the ranking difference between the noble families is getting closer and closer. In my opinion, since Mo Zhu, this country bumpkin, doesn’t have any background, it won’t help the Huo family’s development in the future. Why don’t we let Xuan’er marry Ying’er? That way, the Huo family and the Kang family can look out for each other!”
