After Escaping Marriage, She Intrudes into the Dominance of the Tycoon

Huo Zhidong had to speak up. As an elder, he said, "Yuchen, it's not that I want to reprimand you, but you've always been an obedient child. How could you be so careless this time and cause such a stir online?"

Huo Zhidong's words hinted that Huo Yuchen's private life was not as clean as the outside world rumored. This time, he just happened to be exposed. His tone also conveyed disappointment in Huo Yuchen.

Huo Yuchen naturally understood. Upon hearing this, he sat down again, with a proud loneliness in his eyes. He calmly said, "So Uncle means..."

This was exactly the response Huo Zhidong was waiting for. "I think we should do as the general suggested. You should first step down from the board of directors. Although you are my nephew, for the company's interests, I can only be fair."

Huo Yuchen sneered. "Then who does Uncle think is suitable to take my place? You?"

Huo Zhidong naturally understood Huo Yuchen's sarcasm, but pretended not to understand. "We can't rush this decision. It still needs to be decided through a vote."

Things did not go as he had hoped. Huo Yuchen said, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint everyone, because I have no intention of leaving the board. As for the company's losses, don't worry. As long as I sit in this position for a day, I will not let the company lose a penny of interest."

Huo Yuchen's voice gave people a chilling yet reassuring feeling, because everyone knew his abilities. Since he took over the company, profits were dozens of percentage points higher than before.

As soon as Huo Yuchen left the conference room, Assistant Liu rushed over. "Mr. Huo, your phone."

Huo Yuchen took a look. It was Huo Zhinan calling. He frowned, directly rejected the call, and threw the phone to Liu Yang, instructing him, "From now on, directly reject his calls. No need to bother."

"Okay, Mr. Huo."

Just after speaking, the phone rang again. "Mr. Huo..."

Huo Yuchen said, "Didn't I tell you to reject it?"

Liu Yang explained, "No, not this time. It's Old Master Huo."

Huo Yuchen rubbed his eyebrows. "Give it to me."

Liu Yang quickly handed over the phone.

Huo Yuchen took the call. "Grandfather."

"Come back to the old house." His grandfather's authoritative voice conveyed an aura that brooked no refusal.

He picked up his car keys and hurried to the old house.

At that moment, in the eastern villa, Huo Xuan was sitting in the living room with one leg propped up on the coffee table. He was on the phone, yelling angrily, "I'm asking you, what happened to the trending topic I paid for? Did you get people to repost it or not?"

"Young Master Huo, please spare me! Young Master Hao Yuchen already caught wind of this. My company can barely stay afloat. You gave me 10 million. I don't want a cent of it. I'll transfer it back to you later. I'm busy right now. Let's leave it at that! Goodbye."

The other party hung up after speaking hurriedly.

Huo Xuan looked at the disconnected phone, extremely angry. He slammed the phone heavily on the ground. "Damn it!"

"Xuan'er, what's going on? Why are you so angry?" Li Cuilian came in from outside and saw her furious son. She couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing." Huo Xuan's reply was impatient.

Then he asked, "Did you come from the main house?"

Li Cuilian said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Did anything special happen over there?" Huo Xuan probed. He thought that if public opinion could not bring Huo Yuchen down, getting scolded by the old master wouldn't be bad either.

"No! But I saw your grandfather was in a bad mood today. Oh right, he called Huo Yuchen just now and told him to come back immediately. I don't know what happened."

Hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on Huo Xuan's face.

Seeing Huo Xuan's smug look, Li Cuilian asked, "Did you do something I don't know about?"

Huo Xuan told her the whole story. His tone even carried a hint of arrogance.

"How many times have I told you not to provoke him easily? Haven't you suffered enough at his hands?" Li Cuilian spoke resentfully. He was her only son!

But Huo Yuchen had relied on his own abilities to become president of the Huo Group. He was no ordinary person. Her son was still too young and oversimplified things.

After Huo Xuan left, he walked directly toward the main house. Such a good opportunity to mock Huo Yuchen was not to be missed.

Seeing Huo Yuchen's car driving in, he immediately limped over.

After Huo Yuchen got out of the car, he said gloatingly,

"Well, if it isn't today's headline star? How come you didn't bring your little servant mistress back with you?"

Huo Yuchen glanced at him. His whole body emitted a brutal aura. "You'd better stay away from me. I don't want others to think I, Huo Yuchen, bullied a cripple."

"Don't go too far with your words." Huo Xuan's eyes turned red with anger. He pointed at Huo Yuchen, about to curse back, but facing his fierce gaze, he chickened out. Taking back his hand, he changed the subject. "Don't get complacent. With your indecent private life affecting the Huo Group's stock price, let's see how you explain yourself to the shareholders."

Huo Yuchen sneered coldly. Trying to pull him down from that position with such a petty trick? Wishful thinking.

"Don't bother yourself with that. Even if I'm no longer in that position, a cripple like you could never take my place."

Huo Xuan clenched his fists. He hated it most when others called him a cripple. Yet Huo Yuchen repeatedly emphasized he was a cripple right to his face.

The hatred made his teeth itch. He secretly vowed that one day, he would avenge this leg and make Huo Yuchen suffer a fate worse than death.

Huo Yuchen couldn't be bothered with him. He walked straight past toward the main house. As soon as he stepped inside, Huo Zhinan threw the teacup in his hand at him. "Bastard, see what a mess you've made. You've made me a complete laughingstock!"

Of all the people he could sleep with, he just had to choose a servant girl. Just now, a friend called to congratulate him on finding a daughter-in-law and maybe having a grandchild this year. The shame made him lose all face.

Huo Yuchen sneered contemptuously. "You lost face over ten years ago. Do you even have any left?"
