Fulfill His Wish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There weren’t many large families that were as harmonious as the Shen family. From what these people had said just now, Wen Nian understood that Huo Feng had never been married in his life, so he naturally didn’t have any children of his own. Everyone was fighting to be the heir.
“Grandpa, it’s not that I want to say these unpleasant words, but you really have to think about this matter carefully. If there’s someone who can bring the Huo family to greater heights, it’s not bad to develop someone in the family.” Wen Nian continued, “I’m just a child from an ordinary working-class family. I don’t understand these things. Please don’t take offense if I’m wrong.”
Huo Feng leaned back against the bed. He didn’t know why he had a good impression of Wen Nian. He didn’t know if it was because there were too many scheming people around him, but when such a silly little girl suddenly appeared to help him, his heart always softened.
He smiled at Wen Nian. “Don’t I have a granddaughter? I think my granddaughter is quite good.”
“Grandpa, stop joking,” Wen Nian said seriously. “We just met today. We were strangers in the past. You don’t even know what kind of person I am. They’re right. After all, we’re not related by blood.”
“I’ve lived my entire life. I won’t misjudge anyone. You’re indeed a good girl.” Huo Feng sat up and looked at Shen Jun again. “The girl the heir of the Shen family can fancy can’t be wrong. How can the Huo family and the Shen family have wrong judgment?”
Recalling what Jiang Chun said just now, he suddenly smiled. “That little girl just now didn’t get along with you, right? She’s your love rival, right? But you still have such a powerful and glorious deed in Hai City? Based on your capability, you really seem like my biological granddaughter.”
The news of Huo Feng acknowledging a granddaughter caused quite a stir in the Huo family. Jiang Chun had been following Huo Shuang, and everyone in the Huo family had their own thoughts. No one paid attention to a little girl.
Huo Mu said anxiously, “Dad, we can’t allow this! If he acknowledges a granddaughter, won’t he leave his assets to that person?”
Huo Shuang also looked unhappy. “Actors really know how to act. When I went in just now, she was crying. Maybe she fed Granduncle some bewitching potion?”
The others chimed in, wanting Huo Li to stop this. He was the only one in the Huo family who could speak to Huo Feng.
However, Huo Li did not say anything. He just told them to go home and think about this matter at length. The reason why he could become the current head of the Huo family and have always been recognized by Huo Feng was not because he was Huo Feng’s nephew, but more because of his ability and judgment.
He could tell just now that Huo Feng did like Wen Nian. If he directly went against the old man’s intentions, Huo Feng would be angry. It was not impossible for him to find a lawyer to change his will. Hence, he was polite to Wen Nian because he was thinking about the future.
Huo Shuang did not go back with the others. Instead, she dragged Jiang Chun to the bar.
“Do you think there’s something wrong with my granduncle’s head?” Huo Shuang drank the entire glass of cocktail in one gulp. The cool feeling entered her throat and made her feel better. “That Wen Nian is too amazing, right? In just a few hours, she actually won over my granduncle? You know that I’ve been a lowly servant in front of him for so many years. He didn’t even give me any red packets for the new year. This old fart.”
Jiang Chun said with a look of hatred, “You’re so good, how can Old Master Huo not like you? You’re also a jewelry designer!”
She looked around and saw that no one was looking at her. Then, she whispered, “Your big brother is ignorant and incompetent. The Huo family will definitely be handed over to you in the future. Unfortunately…”
“What’s a pity?” Huo Shuang gripped her wine glass tightly. The sound of her long nails rubbing against the wine glass was a little ear-piercing.
Jiang Chun said dejectedly, “Unfortunately, Wen Nian is his granddaughter now. Don’t you know what a granddaughter means?”
Huo Shuang stood up immediately. “That’s impossible. Don’t even think about it. She’s just a granddaughter who’s not related by blood. What is she? She still wants to take the Huo family’s assets? On what basis?”
Jiang Chun pulled her to sit down and said seriously, “She’s not a simple person. Go and investigate what she did in Hai City. Old Mr. Wei was killed by her. How can she be an ordinary person?”
Although she didn’t believe it, she remembered that Jiang Chun had said that Shen Jun was also mesmerized by her. Huo Shuang asked, “Shen Jun’s family didn’t object to it? The Shen family accepted her?”
Her words disappointed Jiang Chun. “She’s beautiful and knows how to make people happy. Who wouldn’t like her?”
“I don’t like her. Besides, I want everyone to hate her!” Huo Shuang suddenly smiled.. “Didn’t Li Yu clamor in the hall just now to look for Wen Nian? Of course I have to fulfill his wish, right?”
