The descendants’ various expressions revealed their surprised reactions to what Old Master Huo had said. It seemed, however, that Old Master Huo didn’t notice their faces. Even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t change his mind.

“Grandfather.” Su Qingsang felt so awkward that she could not sit leisurely by. “This gift is too expensive, I can’t take it.”

“Don’t say that.” Old Master Huo waved his hand and said, “Inanimate objects may be cold and lifeless, but people can use them to show their warmth and kindness. Now that you have married Jinyao, you are the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the Huo Family. You should not just take this gift for granted.”

“But—” Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look to Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao slightly pinched Su Qingsang’s hand to try to calm her.

“Now that I have said that it is your gift, this villa belongs to you. You should not be uncomfortable with it,” Old Master Huo said.

After glimpsing at all the people around the table, Old Master Huo gazed at Su Qingsang and said, “Don’t be nervous. This gift is not just for you. If you can bear a baby for our family, I will gift that baby the shares that I own.”

“Grandfather,” Su Qingsang uttered.

She really felt pressured. She didn’t feel ready to be a mother.

“It doesn’t matter. I am old now and might leave this world soon. I’d like to see from the afterlife that you and Jinyao inherit my fortune,” Old Master Huo said.

The dining room was silent. No one at the table could say anything. Huo Mingmei bit her lip and held her own hand so tightly that she even broke one of her nails.

Although Huo Mingliang’s expression seemed normal, a sullen look emerged in his eyes which revealed his real mood. As for the other younger members of the Huo Family, they were too naive to hide the disappointment in their eyes.

It seemed like Old Master Huo didn’t notice their expressions. He waved his hand to command the butler to serve the dishes.

“Father,” Huo Mingmei finally couldn’t help but complain. Although she was a member of the Huo Family, she had barely any involvement in the family business other than her minor share.

She knew how much that villa cost. As the best villa at a prime location with the best decor that Old Master Huo had, it was worth almost fourteen million dollars. She had once wanted to ask for that villa to be her daughter’s birthday gift but couldn’t bring herself to do so. How could Old Master Huo have gifted it to Su Qingsang?
