Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Messenger Task_1 Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Messenger Task_1 “Of course, we’re as close as brothers.”
His uncle’s face seems even thicker!
“I’m afraid Tu Lou wouldn’t see it that way.” The elegantly mannered man’s voice was cold and stern, his words sharp and cutting, completely inconsistent with his temperament.
Huo Beijiang’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile. He was truly displeased with these two.
Huo Kewei was his nephew, and as for his own unruly child, he couldn’t be bothered to speak about him.
This man in front of him was barely better than a dressed up beast, he truly questioned the judgment of those who passed his political vetting.
Allowing such scum to infiltrate their ranks.
Huo Kewei felt a chill at his uncle’s smile. “Uncle, Yao Yao has been discharged from the army.”
Huo Beijiang flicked his finger dismissively on his knee, “Well then, this time even blind old Heaven didn’t fail.”
A flash of anger crossed Zuo Xinyao’s handsome face, but he quickly suppressed it.
He looked up, meeting Huo Beijiang’s mocking gaze.
Apparently his emotional change didn’t escape Huo Beijiang’s notice.
“How is it? In pain? Regretful?” Huo Beijiang turned his gaze away, his expression cold, “I told you long ago, you lot of pampered nobles, can do nothing other than bring shame.”
“Alright Uncle, don’t say it anymore, Yao Yao is already in a lot of pain.” Huo Kewei gently tugged at Huo Beijiang’s clothes.
Reminding him not to keep twisting the knife in Zuo Xinyao’s wound.
“You little…” Huo Beijiang wanted to hit him, “Stop tugging on people’s clothes, just like my nephew.”
After saying that, he glanced at Zuo Xinyao again, planning to let him off this time.
He ruined a perfectly good girl, and now he deserves to be .
“Uncle, your nephew is my bro! Introduce us!”
Huo Kewei, who looked like a troublemaker, and who was respected as Young Master Huo outside, was just a naughty boy in front of people he was comfortable with.
“You?” Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, “Forget it! Your IQ is too low, my nephew doesn’t want to play with you.”
Why did he ask for trouble?
Huo Kewei blinked his peach blossom eyes, appearing even more cunning, “Uncle, I’ve got a very important thing to tell you.”
“Speak!” Huo Beijiang leaned lazily on the sofa, his knuckles rhythmically knocking on the wall behind him.
The knock wasn’t hard, but it was penetrating.
The waiter outside heard the noise and immediately came in.
“Yes, right away. Would you like some wine?”
Huo Kewei wanted to order some wine, but Huo Beijiang stopped him.
“No need, we’ve got stuff to do this afternoon.”
Huo Kewei was rather disappointed, “Uncle, you still don’t drink? That’s so boring.”
“If I beat you up that would be interesting, you want to give it a try?”
“Hehehe… No, thanks.”
While waiting for the food, Huo Kewei relayed the information he had investigated.
“Uncle, I’ve found out about your marriage application.” He stretched out his thumb while he spoke.
Huo Beijiang immediately sat up straight upon hearing the news.
“What do you mean?” His voice cooled a few degrees, “You’re reaching too far.”
He had heard about the marriage application due to Lu Jin’s suspicion that someone within the military region was playing tricks.
But he didn’t believe it to be that simple. While there could be some internal meddling, he didn’t believe they had that much power.
Now, it was confirmed.
“My guess is they want to force you to return.”
“Impossible.” Huo Beijiang dismissed the idea without even thinking, “Go back and tell them, stop dreaming.”
Huo Kewei looked pained, even if he had the guts, he wouldn’t dare to deliver that message!
“Uncle, you’re our family’s only hope for the third generation, you’re going to have to go back eventually. You can’t seriously think someone like me can be expected to.”
Huo Kewei’s ambitions never lay with the military or politics.
His prolonged stay in the provincial city without returning home was a task of persuasion on his part.
