Chapter 265 The Game of Cat and Mouse
"Dad, if you have so much time to find fault with my wife, why don't you pay more attention to your little son?"
Huo Yunzheng suddenly mentioned Huo Yunrui, which instantly made Shi Shi's nerves tense.
The back of the chair obscured the area that others could not see clearly. Her fingertips trembled slightly and her eyes were fixed on Huo Yunzheng, not knowing what tricks he was trying to play.
"Why are you mentioning your brother for no reason?"
Huo Shan slapped his thigh, anger revealed on his face.
"I think your brother is more sensible than you. At least he won't disobey the elders in the family!"
Huo Yunzheng smiled and didn't care about what he said at all.
"I advise you to take Huo Yunrui for a full physical examination when you have time. He is in puberty and growth. I see that he is getting more and more disabled. He has not inherited any of your good qualities."
Shi Shi's heart skipped a beat. Even though her mind was in turmoil, she still pretended to be calm.
Huo Yunzheng's words were obviously directed at her! Could it be that he knew something?
He was not the kind of person who would care about Huo Yunrui. After so many years, she knew his temper.
Huo Shan hadn't yet figured out the hidden meaning in his son's words, and thought he was trying to change the subject. Ultimately, he was trying to protect his daughter-in-law.
"Well, I've come back to see you now. Take care of yourself, Grandpa. I'll see you next week. Bye."
Huo Yunzheng stood up, showing no intention of staying for dinner. No matter how Huo Shan scolded him behind his back for being unfilial and disrespectful to his elders, he never stopped.
Late at night, Huo Shan soaked his feet and sat on the bed, reading various news pushed on his mobile phone.
Shi Shi sat in front of the dressing mirror, applying various expensive skin care products on her face.
She looked at Huo Shan through the mirror from time to time, but she couldn't concentrate at all.
Until now, she was still thinking about Huo Yunzheng's words.
Huo Qi was sent abroad and might never come back in this life. Shi Shi has always been very careful and no one knows about the secret relationship between her and Huo Qi.
But now she couldn't help but wonder.
What exactly did Huo Yunzheng mean? If he knew, wouldn't he have exposed her and kicked her out of the Huo family long ago?
But if she didn't know, he would have looked at her so strangely today.
Playful, indifferent, and a bit cold.
Shi Shi even felt that she was caught in a game of cat and mouse, and Huo Yunzheng was the cat.
A cat will not eat a mouse in one bite, but will torture it slowly, making the mouse suffer a fate worse than death.
Although the air conditioner was on in the bedroom, Shi Shi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Hubby, I think Yun Zheng still favors his wife. Do you want you to give in and stop making things difficult for her?"
Shi Shi deliberately advised in this way, and as expected, Huo Shan became even angrier after hearing this.
"That woman is ignorant. She is someone else's daughter-in-law and has no rules at all. And she wants me to give in?"
Huo Shan said angrily, "I think she is far inferior to you."
As he said that, Huo Shan threw his phone aside and put his arm around his wife's waist.
They haven't been intimate for a long time.
"I, Huo Shan, have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes. I married a beautiful, gentle, well-educated and polite wife like you, and you also gave birth to a precious son for me."
Shi Shi looked at him coyly, her fingers resting on his bare chest.
"Speaking of our Yun Rui, he's not young anymore. After he gets admitted to university in two years, can we let him try to get involved in the company's business?"
Huo Shan didn't take it seriously. He just said that Huo Yunrui was still young and there was no rush. He could just play for two years first.
"It would be best if he can get into a domestic school. If he can't, that's fine. I'll send him abroad to study, and he'll be a returnee when he comes back. Then I'll ask Yun Zheng to arrange a leisurely position for him, with a salary and dividends. Our son is here to enjoy a leisurely life, so why should he work so hard?"
As he said this, Huo Shan patted Shi Shi's thigh and pretended to kiss her.
Shi Shi dodged, a look of anger appearing on her face.
The old woman still puts Huo Yunzheng first in her heart. Her son is sensible and studious, so why can't he take over the family business?
Who cares about the official position awarded by Huo Yunzheng?
"Husband, you will spoil our son like this. Our son wants to be a successful person, not the second-generation rich man who sits back and enjoys the fruits of his labor as you said."
Shi Shi put her arm around Huo Shan's neck and added, "My son is already learning financial knowledge. Don't always look down on him."
Huo Shan chuckled and scratched the tip of her nose.
"Aren't I feeling sorry for Yun Rui and you?"
Seeing that Shi Shi was not happy, Huo Shan changed his tone, "You as a mother want your son to be successful, and I as a father cannot hold him back. I will do as you say. When Yun Rui finishes the college entrance examination and turns 18, I will let him rotate to the group."
Only then was Shi Shi satisfied.
Huo Shan said that he loved her, but she didn't own a single share of Yunxi Group.
If he casually gave Huo Yunrui a leisurely position in the future, he would be even further away from fighting for equity and seizing control of the group.
Yun Rui is her child. If she doesn’t consider her son, who will?
Everyone in the Huo family is biased, as if they only see Huo Yunzheng. It seems that the Yunxi Group will be in trouble without Huo Yunzheng?
She just didn't believe it.
Her son is much better than Huo Yunzheng and can still become the successor of the group in the future!
Seeing that Huo Shan didn't remember what Huo Yunzheng had said during the day about asking Huo Yunrui to have a physical examination, Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't mention it herself.
Although a physical examination may not reveal anything, it is better to be safe than sorry.
The previous poisons did not kill Huo Yunzheng, so it seemed that it was time for her to think of a new method.
Since Huo Yunzheng didn't want her and her son to have an easy life, she would not allow herself to be bullied.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. It is up to her to fight for her son's bright future.
……
Inside Huada.
After the last class of the week, Qiao Chuchu packed her laptop into her bag and prepared to go back.
"Chu Chu, are you driving here again today?" Tang Jing asked.
Qiao Chuchu shook her head, then said that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly took the cup of water and left.
Behind her, Tang Jing packed up her things and immediately followed her.
It takes four or five minutes to walk from the college to the nearest east gate.
During this period, Tang Jing wore a mask on her face and always kept a proper distance from Qiao Chuchu, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
Near the east gate, Tang Jing saw Qiao Chuchu swiping her student card to go out.
She immediately followed quickly, but did not leave the school gate. Instead, she stood near the security booth and watched the scene outside the school.
There was a black Bentley sedan parked on the side of the road. Even in Beijing, where wealthy people gather, such a luxury car would be very eye-catching.
Tang Jing noticed that Qiao Chuchu was heading towards the direction of the car.
She stood there and saw that before Qiao Chuchu got completely close, a man got out of the car, took her bag and opened the door for her.
