Huo Shi quickly brought a chair over and sat by the Old Master’s bed.
“Dad, nothings up. I just came to see you.”
The Old Master took a sip of water and handed the glass to the butler, then he turned to look at him. “Do you even hear yourself?”
Huo Shi coughed dryly and looked at him. “Guess I can’t hide anything from my father.”
He laughed bitterly and then sighed, looking quite pitiful. Not falling for it, the Old Master said directly, “If you have something to say, say it. Or did you wake me up simply to let me hear you sigh?”
Frantically, Huo Shi looked at the Old Master. “I’m sorry, Dad. I woke you up, but I was really upset and wanted to tell you. Otherwise, I would have been frustrated to death.”
“Who would dare anger you?
The Old Master glanced at him, then took the glass of water from the butler’s hand and took another sip, his other hand holding the edge of his blanket.
Looking at the Old Master, Huo Shi exclaimed, “It’s all because of Jinyan! It’s fine if this child has always been rude, I won’t hold it against him. But he really didn’t give me any face this time. I don’t know how he heard about the project I told you about previously, but he asked me to stop in front of so many
people
“He even asked me to return all the funds I used previously! Dad, wasn’t I doing it for the company? That project was great, yet he stopped it just like that. I’ve been working for so long for nothing, and I’m even made to compensate for it. I had to put my own face on the line to get this project) and Jinyan didn’t even listen to my explanation.”
Without listening to the rest of it, the Old Master only asked, “So, have you stopped?”
Huo Shi shrunk his shoulders and looked at the Old Master pitifully. “How would I dare not stop? He said that if I didn’t stop, he would take measures against me. This child is truly rude. No matter what, I’m still his second uncle. Yet he actually threatened me!
“He even scolded me in person. I lost all my face and even my project. Dad, don’t you think Jinyan…”
Before he could finish, the Old Master suddenly interrupted him. “What did you say? In person? You found him?”
Huo Shi was stunned by the question. “Huh? No, he told me at the company.”
“The company? He’s back?” Agitated, the Old Master raised his hand and knocked over the cup, spilling all the water on the blanket.
The butler hurriedly went to tidy up. “Master, please stay calm.”
Huo Shi looked at the Old Master in a daze. “Ah, that’s right. He was at the company. He didn’t go home?
Huo Shi carefully observed the Old Master’s expression.
The Old Master ignored him and turned to the butler. “Do you know about
Lowering his head, the butler tidied up the soaked blanket. “I haven’t seen
Young Master recently.”
Snorting in anger, the Old Master slapped the edge of the bed.
When Huo Shi heard this, he immediately started to criticize Huo Jinyan even louder. “This child is really unreasonable. He actually didn’t come home after returning to the capital! Dad, you dote on him too much. Look at how unreasonable he is…
As he spoke, he stood up excitedly. The Old Master turned to look at him. “Are you leaving? Then go. Careful on the way.”
Huo Shi was stunned. Huh?
If I stand up, it means rm leaving?
The butler turned to Huo Shi tactfully. “Second Master, I’ll send you off. This way.”
Huo Shi: ‘
Still refusing to give up, Huo Shi looked at the Old Master and called out,
“Dad…
The Old Master rubbed his eyelids. “I’m tired.”
Resentfully, Huo Shi could only shut up and follow the butler out.
The Old Master put his hand down and got off the bed. He circled around the bed angrily..
