Chapter 858 - Why Are You Crying? (2/2)

Or perhaps he could snatch the whole Huo Family over for the little brat to play with. Thinking about their expressions then, he felt that it would definitely be very interesting.

As soon as Huo Ci went out, the men who had been hiding in their rooms ran out quickly. Their expressions were brilliant.

Cao Yunxian’s face contorted in anger. He had finally admitted it! Huo Ci had finally revealed his motive! She knew that he had not given up. He had brought his illegitimate daughter and that little b*stard back to fight for the family assets!

However, this was not the answer she wanted. She had initially thought that with Huo Ci’s pride, he would say that he disdained the Huo Family’s assets in public. And that even the little b*stard he had brought back would not want about the Huo Family’s assets either.

Xiao Hui had not expected this to happen either. Not only had they not made Huo Ci yield, but they had also completely infuriated him because of a dog!

Zhang Yuechan was the angriest. Her face was ashen as she gripped the railing tightly, her chest heaving violently. Was the war about to start officially?

Jiang Meiyun had not said a word from the start to the end. She did not help either side. She was not that worried about the issue of the assets. After all, as the family of the eldest son, they would not lose anything they should receive.

Besides, she had a good son. Her son could earn money, unlike them, who only relied on the family assets to survive.

However, Fifth Brother’s family had really tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Sixth Brother was completely infuriated by them. He was about to start a war with them. Let’s see how they would deal with this.

While the elders were about to start a war, the juniors were very sensible and did not appear. Only when everyone in the several branches returned to their rooms did they come out to take a look.

Su Xiyin had been listening the whole time, but she did not exit her room. Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, she also made up her mind. They had gone too far in bullying others!

The Huo Family’s assets belonged to both the husband and wife. She was the most lawful heir to the inheritance. She should have at least half of it!

In the past, she did not compete with them, and Ci Er did not have to rely on this bit of money in the house. However, now, the group of them had bullied their family so outrageously because of this small issue.

She had a temper too. If she did not teach them a lesson, they would really not know their worth!

Huo Xiao was in a deep sleep. The house was soundproofed well, so he had not heard anything. When he woke up, he saw his wife sitting beside him and looking at him lovingly. He smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? You ‘re looking at me like you’ve never seen me?”

Su Xiyin asked, “Can I go back on my word now?”

Huo Xiao was confused. “What?”

Su Xiyin said, “Haven’t you always said that half of the Huo Family’s assets are mine?”

Huo Xiao said, “Half is nothing. I’ll give you everything.”

Su Xiyin said, “I don’t want all of it. I want half. The half that belongs to me. I won’t give it to Ci’er either. I’ll leave it to Sheng Sheng. She’s a girl. It’s better if she owns more money. I’ll give it all to her as her dowry.”

Huo Xiao smiled and nodded. “Okay, whatever you say. Let Sheng Sheng have it.”

Ling Sheng hung up on Sister Mei and walked toward the main residence. However, before she reached the place, she met her father and Xiaoqi. She was shocked and ran over hurriedly. “Father, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
