299: C299 Replacement Heir

C299 Replacement Heir

After the meal, the servant quickly cleaned up all the leftovers on the table before bringing the fruit snacks.

Chiang Shuru looked at the old man and thought to herself, "Since dinner is already over, you old bastard, it's about time to announce the matter."

Huo Chenglieh was also a bit curious, so he said to the old man: "Dad, dinner is already ready, look, is it …"

The old tutor looked at his good-for-nothing son and shook his head. He had taught this son of his for nothing after so many years. How could he be at ease with his impatient nature?

The old man took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. Afterwards, he looked at the people around him, as if he was about to announce something important.

Seeing this, Huo Mingyang and Lih Jinhsing's faces were full of curiosity, waiting for the old man to continue speaking.

The old tutor looked at Soong Shiyan, who was sitting at the side. He was silent for a moment, a conflicted look appearing on his face. He seemed to be hesitant, but in the end, he opened his mouth and said, "Jing Sung, about Heir of the Huo Family's change, I must tell you in advance."

Hearing this, a trace of confusion appeared on Soong Shiyan's face. She looked at the old man and asked in surprise: "Heir of the Huo Family changed? Grandfather, what do you mean by this? "

The other four also thought that they'd misheard when they heard the old tutor's words. They all looked curiously at the old tutor and waited for his next words.

"Jing Sung, I believe that since you're so smart, you can't possibly not understand my words, right?" The old man looked at Soong Shiyan as he slowly spoke.

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan looked at the old man in disbelief, then looked at Lih Jinhsing beside her. There was a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she said, "Master, you mean …. Do you want to leave the Huo Family to Lih Jinhsing? "

Hearing Soong Shiyan's words, everyone else had a different expression on their faces.

Chiang Shuru's face paled. The degree of shock on her face didn't seem to be small at all. Her gaze seemed to be glued to the old man, afraid that she would miss his answer.

As for Huo Mingyang, his expression was similarly not very good. Previously, Huo Chenglieh had already intended to leave all the shares in his hands to Lih Jinhsing. If the Old Master were to appoint Lih Jinhsing as his successor, then, wouldn't Lih Jinhsing already have all of his Huo Family in his pocket?

However, on second thought, if the Old Master had left his Huo Family to Lih Jinhsing, then Huo Chenglieh might have left his shares in the family to him. Although the shares held by Huo Chenglieh were nothing compared to the wealth of the entire Huo Family, he would at least be able to obtain quite a bit of wealth. Thinking of this, Huo Mingyang's expression eased up a lot.

Huo Chenglieh could not hide the excitement in his eyes. He'd always felt that all these years, he owed Lih Jinhsing, and that was why he'd decided to leave all his shares to Lih Jinhsing. Now, if the Old Master really wanted Lih Jinhsing to be Heir of the Huo Family, then he would naturally be happy in his heart — after all, he didn't want the Huo Family to fall onto a woman who wasn't related to him by blood.

Lih Jinhsing, on the other hand, had a face of surprise, as if he never expected the old man to make such a decision.

The old man looked at Soong Shiyan, nodded, and said leisurely: "Since you've already guessed it, then I might as well tell you directly — yes, I do intend to leave the Huo Family to that kid, Jinxing."

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Her face was a little pale, and her lips were trembling uncontrollably. She looked at the old man, the light in her eyes flowing.

After a long while, she finally said to the old man with a trembling voice, "Old man, ever since I've become Heir of the Huo Family, I've been working hard to pass the test that you and the other shareholders have given me. During the time I was at work, I did not make any mistakes, and the [H] amp.L] has also improved a lot — — Now, you want to leave your Huo Family to Lih Jinhsing, how can I accept your decision? "

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he still continued to speak, "Jing Sung, you know why I chose you as the successor to my Huo Family back then, right?"

When the others heard the old man's words, they pricked up their ears and waited for Soong Shiyan's reply.

Soong Shiyan's face broke out into a wry smile. She looked at the old man and nodded, saying faintly, "How could I not know? At that time, if it wasn't for Huo Mingshen who trusted me, how could you have agreed to let me follow you back to the Huo Family? In order to cure Huo Mingshen's autism and protect his Huo Family, you chose me to be your successor, didn't you? "

Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan, a trace of understanding appearing in his eyes — — Sure enough, his guess from the beginning was not wrong. The reason the old gramps let a woman have nothing to do with Huo Family like Heir of the Huo Family must be because of some other purpose. And this goal was indeed related to that fool Huo Mingshen.

"Since you know the reason — —" The old man said in a low voice, "Then, you should also know that Mingshen is no longer in this world, and you naturally don't need to continue staying in the Huo Family."

Soong Shiyan's face broke out into a cold smile when she heard this. She looked at the lordmaster with slight dissatisfaction in her voice and said, "Lordmaster, after using me, are you planning on giving me up like a pair of shoes? Was it all because of Lih Jinhsing? "

The old man nodded and admitted it, "Yes, it was indeed because of him. Because, I can't possibly allow my Huo Family to fall into the hands of an outsider, right? "

"Outsiders?" Hearing this, Soong Shiyan revealed a mocking smile. She looked at the old man and continued, "Since the old man views me as an outsider, then why didn't you take back my identity when Huo Mingshen died?"

Chiang Shuru's expression turned ugly. She did not expect this old fogey to think of such a method in order to not give her Mingyang a chance to inherit his Huo Family. It's hateful!

"At that time, why didn't I retract your identity? You should also know the reason. You shouldn't need me to explain, right?" The old man looked at Soong Shiyan as he spoke faintly.

Trembling slightly, Soong Shiyan picked up the cup of juice in front of her and took a sip, trying to calm her surging heart.0

After a long while, the corners of Soong Shiyan's mouth curled into a smile. She looked at the old man and slowly spoke: "Old Master, if you change the successor at this time, I think that the guesses of the outside world regarding Huo Family shouldn't be very good, right? Lordmaster, you're not willing to take this risk either? "

The old man frowned slightly, as if considering Soong Shiyan's words.

Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan who was sitting opposite him. Although her face was a bit pale, but she was sitting upright on her seat. Her eyes were firm and had a trace of unyielding pride in them. Looking at Soong Shiyan's expression, Huo Mingyang once again felt his heart beat faster.

Looking at Soong Shiyan's sad expression, Huo Mingyang didn't feel any heartache at all. On the contrary, he felt lucky — — perhaps, because of this matter, he could successfully walk into Jing Sung's heart when she was sad.

"What is it? Old Master, am I wrong? " Soong Shiyan lazily said as she looked at the old man, a trace of a mocking smile on her face.

The old man smiled as he looked at Soong Shiyan and said at a moderate pace, "Girl, you're right. If you suddenly change your successor, the outside world will inevitably speculate a lot. "Therefore, I will not reveal the change of heirs to the public until you resign from Heir of the Huo Family."

Hearing the old man's answer, Soong Shiyan said indignantly: "Why would I resign as Heir of the Huo Family? "Old man, just give up — in this lifetime, I will never take the initiative to lose Heir of the Huo Family's identity!"

"Jing Sung, don't be so harsh with your words. After all, there is always a chance in case …" The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and slowly said, "If you don't resign as Heir of the Huo Family on your own accord, I have plenty of ways to make you regret it."

Although the lordmaster's words weren't loud, the threat in his tone made it hard for everyone present to underestimate him.

"Jing Sung, don't forget, your little brother is still in Huo Family — You have seen him just now, right? Do you really have the heart to never see him again in this lifetime? "

The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and said leisurely.

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan's face immediately turned pale. She immediately pushed her chair away and wanted to leave this place to find Xiaohu. However, she had only taken two steps when she stopped again. She turned around and looked at the old man. With a cold expression, she asked, "Have you already sent people to hide him?"

The lordmaster didn't reply, but his reaction had already given Soong Shiyan an answer.

Seeing this, Soong Shiyan returned to her seat and looked at the old man, sneering, "Second Young Master Huo's existence has already attracted the attention of many. If, at this time, another Master Huo's illegitimate child appeared — I think, Lih Jinhsing's existence would severely damage Huo's's image, right? "

"Since I can choose Jing Sung, who has nothing to do with Huo Family, as my successor, can't I choose Lih Jinhsing, who has nothing to do with Huo Family, as my successor?" The old man answered with a smile, "Jing Sung, I believe you. You won't be stupid enough to tell the outside world about Lih Jinhsing's identity."

Soong Shiyan felt a bit sarcastic when she saw the old tutor's confident smile. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Everyone says, the older the wiser. I believe in these words now — Old Man, I have done a lot of things under your hands anyways. I think, you wouldn't be heartless enough to let me leave the Huo Family without a penny, right? "

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Since you have taken good care of Mingshen before, I will give you the villa you are living in now. How about it?"

"Even if I'm not satisfied, what can I do? After all, how can I possibly win against you, old gramps? " There was a bitter smile on Soong Shiyan's face.

"From now on, you do not need to meddle in the affairs of the H. O." From now on, you do not have to meddle in the affairs of H. A. The old man looked at Soong Shiyan and said.

"Alright, I'm tired too. You can all leave now!" With that, the old tutor stood up and slowly left the dining room.

As Soong Shiyan watched the back of the old man, the frostiness in her eyes was like a layer of snow that would never melt.
