"You, who are you?" Jackson, the "fake foreigner," looked at Huo Shiqian, puzzled and somewhat terrified. He said, "You, are you the one from last time?"
Huo Shiqian spoke in an especially cold tone and asked again, "I'm asking you, are all of you Bao Jiahong's children?"
Strangely, although Huo Shiqian had done nothing yet, his presence alone made Jackson somewhat afraid.
Jackson stammered in his reply to Huo Shiqian, "Yes, we are Bao Jiahong's children..."
After answering Huo Shiqian's question, Jackson looked at Professor Bao, then at Xia Chuyi, and then back at Huo Shiqian.
"Third Uncle..." Jackson chose to seek help from Professor Bao, calling out pitifully.
Unfortunately, Professor Bao glanced at Jackson, then at Huo Shiqian, and finally decided to say to his own nephew: "Qian'er, I'll leave this matter to you."
Huo Shiqian nodded and said to Professor Bao, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll handle it."
Hearing this, Professor Bao nodded as well, addressing everyone, especially the siblings who were "fake foreigners," saying, "Qian'er is your aunt's child and also the inheritor of the Bao family's wealth; if you have anything, talk to him."
Jackson heard that Professor Bao was washing his hands of the matter, and he hurriedly called out, "Third Uncle, we have no issue to discuss with..."
It was unfortunate that Professor Bao paid him no attention, not even bothering to listen to him finish speaking, and simply took his wife and went back inside.
Xia Chuyi's Master naturally didn't stay either.
However, before she returned to her room, the Master, somewhat concerned, advised Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, we'll go in now. Handle the matters here yourselves."
"If there's anything you can't manage, come and call us."
Facing her Master's earnest concern, Xia Chuyi knew that her Master didn't understand Huo Shiqian's way of handling things and was afraid they might make mistakes.
Xia Chuyi smiled reassuringly at her Master and winked: "Master, don't worry."
Seeing her , her Master reluctantly nodded and also went back inside.
After the elders had left, only Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi, the siblings who were "fake foreigners," Xiao Wang who had come back with Huo Shiqian, and two security guards, Taoyi and Lizi, remained in the living room.
In terms of both numbers and presence, the two siblings who were "fake foreigners," Jackson and his sister, were significantly outmatched.
"This..." Jackson cleared his throat slightly, bracing himself as he said, "This officer, Third Uncle just said, you are my aunt's child?"
"Aunt, that's dad's sister, right?"
"Does this mean we are relatives then?" Jackson attempted to form a connection, saying so with a forced smile.
At that moment, Xia Chuyi shook her head, thinking: Jackson probably grew up abroad and totally failed to realize that when Huo Shiqian openly addressed "Bao Jiahong," it showed that in Uncle Liberation Army's eyes, there really was no 'Bao Jiahong' among the relatives.
Indeed, Huo Shiqian looked slightly sarcastic, slightly opening his lips to say, "Relatives?"
"Tell me, Jackson, what is the real purpose of your return to the country?" All of a sudden, Huo Shiqian's eyes bore into Jackson sharply.
Jackson felt a chill under Huo Shiqian's intense gaze.
"Fake foreigner" Jackson finally realized that Huo Shiqian was not indulgent like his Third Uncle towards so-called relatives.
Jackson quickly forced a smile, cautiously saying to Huo Shiqian, "We..."
