But she had to fight for it. The Huo family had a mountain of gold and silver in their hands. She had given so much, and she couldn't just give it all away.
Moreover, Huo Jingchen, that Wolf Cub, was very difficult to deal with. If he really took full control of the Huo family, there would be no way for the mother and daughter to survive.
Mrs. Huo lowered her eyes, feeling a little irritated. She couldn't help but think of how she had just joined the Huo family when she was young.
At first, her plan was to raise Huo Jingchen to be a cripple, but some people were really favored by God. He had learned a lot of bad things, but it didn't affect his intelligence and ruthlessness at all.
In the end, she could not get rid of him even after a few attempts. Instead, she was reprimanded by the old man and his wife.
Now.. He was even more difficult to deal with. Could they really compete with him?
For no reason, Mrs. Huo felt a little cold. She actually had the intention to retreat.
She was probably really old.
Fortunately, there was still Peng... ...

Not long after Zhao Siqing returned to her room, Huo Jingchen pushed the door open and came back.
"How was it? Did the Old Lady scold you? " Zhao Siqing sat up and looked at him worriedly.
Huo Jingchen pulled Zhao Siqing into his arms and asked in a low voice, "worried about me? "
Zhao Siqing stretched out her hand and pinched her thumb and index finger gently. "A little bit. "
Huo Jingchen laughed softly. "A little bit is just asking for a beating. "
Zhao Siqing climbed out of his arms unhappily and turned to face him as she sat down. She said softly, "you can't always be so overbearing. If you're so overbearing, you won't be able to get a wife. "
Huo Jingchen pulled her back and pressed her onto the bed.
The two of them played around for a while. Zhao Siqing curled up in her arms and said softly, "what's the Old Lady's attitude? Does she want to call off the marriage? "
"I'm a little hesitant, but I didn't mention anything about calling off the marriage, " Huo Jingchen said faintly, his gaze deep.
Zhao Siqing thought about it and agreed.
After all, compared to the Gu family, which could be seen and touched, the old Taoist's words were too vague.
However, the Old Lady believed in Buddhism. Zhao Siqing thought that it wouldn't be long before she would have to find an eminent monk behind their backs and calculate it for them.
After the two of them took a shower, Zhao Siqing was a little sleepy.
Huo Jingchen lay beside her and asked in a low voice, "the old lady asked us to stay here for the time being. Do you want to stay? "
Zhao Siqing looked into his eyes and said softly, "It's good that you're here. "
Huo Jingchen laughed, "you're so sweet today. Did you steal some honey? "
Zhao Siqing's ears reddened when she met his dark eyes. She looked at his handsome face and asked softly, "do you want to sleep? "
Her voice was soft and cute, making Huo Jingchen's throat tighten.
"Qingqing. "
"Yes? "
Huo Jingchen's Adam's apple moved slightly and said in a low voice, "I feel like you're seducing me. "
Zhao Siqing was stunned for a few seconds. She blinked her eyes and said softly, "I'M NOT! "
"remove it for me, " Huo Jingchen said in a deep voice. He felt as if his bones were going to melt.
Zhao Siqing shut her mouth tightly and did not say anything more. She stared at him with a pair of calm eyes. Perhaps it was because she was a little nervous, but her breathing seemed to be stifled.
Huo Jingchen was defeated. He kissed her eyes and said in a low voice, "go to sleep. "
Zhao Siqing leaned in his arms and tried to sleep for a while. Perhaps it was still early, so she was not too sleepy. After a moment of silence, she could not help but ask softly, "do you believe what the Taoist said today? "
Huo Jingchen did not seem to think that she would mention this question. He was silent for a few seconds.
"If you don't believe me, I'll go with anything, " Huo Jingchen said in a low voice. He slowly lowered his eyes to cover the darkness in his eyes.
