Not long after Huo Yanxi had someone announce his divorce from Ye Ruge, he received a call from his mother.
Su Nanqiu's voice was cold: "You go home now." She didn't say much else and hung up the phone after that.
Huo Yanxi seemed to have expected that his mother would look for him, and he was not surprised at all.
He took care of the urgent matters in the company and returned to Huo's house.
The Huo family's mansion is no different from usual. This villa looks majestic and solemn.
However, there was a depressing atmosphere in the mansion at this time, and the servants were cautious when doing things, because their master, Su Nanqiu, was currently angry.
The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more and came out to greet Huo Yanxi as he entered.
In the living room, Su Nanqiu was sitting on the single sofa. She was supporting her forehead with one hand and closing her eyes to relax. There was a lazy cat lying in her arms. She was stroking the cat's back with her other hand.
After Huo Yanxi came in, the housekeeper retreated, leaving only the mother and son in the living room.
"Mom." Huo Yanxi called lightly.
Su Nanqiu slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw his son standing not far in front, his attitude was a little cold: "Back?"
Huo Yanxi nodded, then sat down: "Why are you so anxious to come back to me?"
Su Nanqiu looked stern: "Don't you know what happened? Why did you suddenly announce your divorce?"
Huo Yanxi shrugged and said casually: "We have been divorced for a while, and it's time to announce it."
"Then why don't you discuss it with me? Look at how much the group's stock price dropped after you announced your divorce?"
"Isn't it just a two-point drop? It will be fine after tomorrow." He was still so indifferent.
Su Nanqiu looked at him coldly: "As the leader of the group, you still have this attitude when the stock price drops. If other shareholders know about it, who will support you in the future?"
"Let them do whatever they want. If they don't support me because of this small loss, I don't need such people."
"You..." Su Nanqiu was really offended by his attitude.
She took a breath, controlled her emotions, stared at him again and said coldly: "Okay, let's not talk about the group's affairs first. Please tell me first, is it true that Ye Ruge is pregnant?"
Huo Yanxi knew that it was impossible for her mother not to have seen those reports.
He nodded: "It's true."
Su Nanqiu's pupils shrank and he was about to ask, but he continued: "You don't have to ask me who it is, I don't know."
She frowned for a moment: "You don't know? You...how can you not know? Didn't you tell the reporter that it was yours?"
"If I didn't say that, wouldn't the reporter report that I was cheated on? I don't want people to laugh at me for being a cuckold."
Su Nanqiu looked at him with a bad expression, unable to believe what he said.
"What did Ye Ruge say? She didn't tell you who the child is?"
Huo Yanxi met her mother's eager eyes and raised her lips mockingly: "Mom, so what if you know who the child is? We are divorced, so the child is hers."
"Impossible!" Su Nanqiu drank coldly and said in a cold voice: "If the child belongs to our Huo family, and I take him to the Huo family when the child is born, I will never let the blood of the Huo family leak out!"
Huo Yanxi's eyes darkened: "So you want to steal the child from her?"
"What are you talking about? The child belongs to the Huo family. How can I say it was a robbery when I took it back?"
Huo Yanxi shook his head and sneered: "Then the child isn't mine?"
Su Nanqiu's eyes were filled with sullenness: "Why are we keeping children who are not from the Huo family? Isn't it embarrassing our Huo family?"
Huo Yanxi's heart tightened. He knew that his mother had always been cruel, but it was still hard for him to accept what she said.
"Mom, no matter if the child is mine or not, don't even think about touching him. That child has nothing to do with you and has nothing to do with the Huo family." He said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Su Nanqiu didn't understand what he said.
"It means that even if the child is mine, I don't intend to let him return to the Huo family."
Su Nanqiu didn't understand even more: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know, Mom, I don't want my child to live in an environment of intrigue and intrigue as soon as he is born, and I don't want you to come into contact with my child." He looked directly at his mother and said.
Su Nanqiu's face gradually became serious: "What exactly are you going to say?"
Huo Yanxi met her mother's gaze and said in a somewhat threatening tone: "Mom, it was all your fault that I had to marry Ye Ruge, right? Oh, by the way, there was also her father. You and her father teamed up to trap me.
.”
Su Nanqiu's eyes flickered, and under his gaze, his expression became less natural.
But she still maintained her seriousness with a straight face: "Who are you listening to?"
"Mom, I know all the things you did, you don't have to hide it." His eyes were cold, and his heart was even colder.
Su Nanqiu was silent for a while, but finally admitted: "Yes, her father and I agreed to do this, but I couldn't help it. I advised you to break up with Yao Man but you didn't listen, so I can only do this."
When he saw his mother's attitude of not knowing anything wrong and taking it for granted, he felt angrier.
"Mom? Is there any mother in the world who would force her son like this?"
His burning eyes made Su Nanqiu feel a little weak.
"I...I am also doing it for your own good. I just want you to get married quickly and have a child. You also know very well that our orphaned and widowed mother is in charge of such a big Huo family. We don't know when everything will be taken away from them.
They are all waiting to bully us and drive us out of this position!"
Huo Yanxi had a gloomy face. He knew that many people in the Huo family were dissatisfied with him, especially his uncles. They all wanted to remove him from his position as the leader of the Huo family.
But all this should not be accomplished at the expense of his marriage, even though he knew that as the eldest young master of the Huo family, he should have married a well-matched woman.
If Su Nanqiu didn't have a close relationship with Ye Ruge's mother, she would definitely not be his wife.
"So, I will not let my child grow up in this kind of environment, and I will not let him follow my path." Huo Yanxi said indifferently.
Su Nanqiu's eyes were sharp: "Then it's not your turn to make the decision. Since you are a child of the Huo family, you have to bear all this."
Huo Yanxi looked at her mother for a moment, with a frightening coldness all over her body: "Mom, let me say it again, Ye Ruge's child has nothing to do with us, don't mess with her!"
Su Nanqiu was shocked by his terrifying coldness, and after a while she spoke in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel against me?"
"If you do something secretly that I can't forgive, maybe we, mother and son, won't be able to do it." Huo Yanxi stood up and said this, with flames dancing in his eyes, and the anger in his heart could not go away.
His last words completely stunned Su Nanqiu to the point where she couldn't speak. She stared at him in disbelief, but her breath was confused. It was obvious that she was very angry.
"I won't have dinner with you tonight." Huo Yanxi put down these words and turned around to leave.
Su Nanqiu's face was extremely ugly, and the movements of her hands became more serious. The cat on her lap screamed and jumped down, hiding away.
