It was said that Mr. Huo had always been in charge of the business of the Huo family abroad in the United States. He rarely returned to China and didn't care about domestic affairs.
Not long ago, due to the influence of the domestic tax collection, the large and small companies were affected, and the Huo Group was no exception.
Old Master Huo was so old that he couldn't take care of himself alone. His eldest son had passed away a long time ago, so he could only send people to the United States to invite him. Only then did Mr. Huo come back from the United States.
Back in the capital, Mr. Huo was the CEO of a domestic company. In a short period of time, he had been able to turn the tables, recruit more people, and become decisive in the shopping mall in the capital city. He was an ambitious man who could summon the wind and summon the rain. He was even more ruthless and decisive than Old Master Huo when he was young.
Xiaoxiao... Why is she with Mr. Huo?
Thinking of this, Rong Yu put away his thoughts and followed An Hao out of the police station.
At the door, a silver-gray extended car had been waiting for a long time.
Around the car stood several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes. It seemed that they were not small.
When a middle-aged man, who looked like a senior housekeeper, saw them coming out, he hurriedly got out of the car and greeted them. He said respectfully to Rong Yu,
"Young Master."
Rong Yu's expression darkened when he heard that. "I told you not to call me young master."
He had been locked up for a few days, leaving a green shadow under his eyes. His handsome face looked a little tired, and there was a kind of indifference that kept people thousands of miles away.
The butler reluctantly changed the way he addressed him. "Why didn't you tell us about Mr. Rong entering the detention center? If Mr. Mo had known, he would've long thought of a way to get you out. You wouldn't have been locked up for so many days."
An Hao was even more helpless. He also wanted to find the Mo family, but Rong Yu didn't want to. If he knew that he had asked the Mo family for help in private, he would definitely break up with him!
"My business has nothing to do with the Mo family. Mr. Mo, please don't worry about an outsider." After Rong Yu finished speaking, he walked towards his own car.
"How could you be an outsider? You're Mr. Mo's... Oh, right, Mr.... Mr. Rong, I heard that you've beaten up the grandson of the Huo family? The Huo family is quite influential in the capital. Even if you come out now, you're afraid that they'll hurt you. But don't worry, Mr. Mo will tell Mr. Huo personally. He should be fine. Mr.... Mr. Rong, please don't go. Why don't you go back and have a look today? Mr. Mo cares about you very much." The butler was in a hurry to catch up with him.
Rong Yu stopped for a second, turned around, and said coldly, "I appreciate his kindness. No need. I said that I would solve my own problem. Please keep his care for his wife and children."
After that, he bent over and glared at An Hao, who was standing outside the car in a daze. "Are you leaving or not?"
An Hao then hurriedly got in the car.
Looking at the speeding car, the housekeeper sighed.
...
After leaving the hospital that day, Su Xiaoxiao stayed in the Emperor's Mansion for a few more days.
Luckily, Mr. Huo had been too busy with official business these days and had not returned to the throne, which made her relieved.
On this day, the company came over and gave her a card, saying that it was pocket money for this month.
Su smiled. He knew that this card represented the start of his relationship with him.
This was a credit card with a large amount of money. Anything he wanted to buy could be used.
If you need cash, you can ask Sister Lan for less than 10,000 yuan.
If he had more than 10,000 yuan, he could ask Mr. Huo for help.
She gritted her teeth. She knew that this was Mr. Huo's restraint on her, preventing her from confronting him with money, such as running away.
He was willing to spend money on women, but he could not tolerate women going against him with her money.
He was indeed a fox in the business world, a cunning old fox!
After delivering the card, he said, "In principle, the Third Master won't restrict Miss Su's actions, but every time she goes out, she has to tell Sister Lan that she has to go home at nine o'clock in the evening. Every time she goes out for more than three hours, she has to call back... Oh, by the way, this is the new mobile phone that the Third Master bought for Miss Su, and the mobile phone number is the same as before."
"Pfft, this 'but' is so long! How could it be called a stop to my actions?"
However, when she ran out of her uncle's house, she forgot to take out her mobile phone. Moreover, since that time when she soaked in water, her mobile phone had often failed. It was time to change it.
Su Xiaoxiao accepted the brand new pink phone and flipped through it.
The mobile phone had almost been set up and all the commonly used apps had been downloaded.
Among the contacts, there was only one name, which was Mr. Huo.
She frowned.
Seeing that she was a little unhappy, the director continued, "The Third Master said that Miss Su doesn't need to contact anyone anyway. Look at you, you don't seem to have many friends. There's only one person's phone number in the book. That's enough."
Su Yi's face turned purple. She was so angry that she didn't dare to say anything.
"She doesn't have any friends?"
At first glance, he knew that they were not very popular, and no one dared to approach them, okay?
After completing the task, he didn't stay any longer and left.
Su Xiaoxiao fiddled with her new phone absent-mindedly.
Sister Lan was washing fruits in the semi-open kitchen. Seeing her bored look, she said with a smile, "If you feel bored, take the card that the Third Master gave you and go shopping. Young girls like to go shopping, don't they?"
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to go shopping. She couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Sister Lan, have you been working in the Huo family for many years?"
"That's right. When Third Young Master was young, I was working for the Huo family." Sister Lan replied with a smile as she cut the fruit.
She stretched her neck out of curiosity. "Sister Lan, does he have a bad relationship with Old Master Huo?"
Sister Lan's smile froze for a moment, and then she said with a dry smile, "Miss Su, why do you think so?"
Su smiled and pursed his lips. Even a blind person could tell how good it was.
At the Old Master's birthday banquet, she had guessed a few things when he took her away in public, disregarding the Old Master's reputation.
Later, in the hospital ward, Huo Suning's words confirmed that the relationship between Mr. Huo and Old Master Huo was very bad.
She hesitated and answered Sister Lan, "Oh... I saw that he seemed to have been abroad all these years. I have never heard Yue Ziqian mention the name of this uncle before, just like the taboo of the Huo family."
Sister Lan put down the knife, and her expression was a little complicated. Seeing that she had guessed it, she nodded and said, "Yes. The relationship between the Third Master and the Old Master is indeed not very good."
"Why?" She was even more curious.
She was not interested in his private affairs, nor did she gossip about the grievances between the rich and powerful families. However, knowing one's enemy and oneself, one could win a hundred battles!
"Since I may have frequent contact with him, it's good for me to know more about the enemy."
However, obviously, Sister Lan was not talkative. She brought out the cut fruit and changed the subject with a smile. "If you don't want to go shopping, then eat some fruit."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed. Just as she was about to probe further, her phone rang and she picked it up first.
Seeing that she was answering the phone, Sister Lan left professionally.
"Xiaoxiao." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat. "Brother Rong Yu?"
