After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

Such words came out of nowhere, and Xia Taozhi's heart suddenly tightened: "Is it that Huo Mian? But... doesn't the Huo family only have one son, Huo Qing?"

"He is the only biological son. It doesn't mean there are no other options."

Han Xiao smiled lightly.

After returning home and having dinner, he calmly talked about the topic just now: "Mrs. Huo was not pregnant for a long time. She went to the hospital many times, but no good news came. In desperation, they could only start from A cousin from the side branch adopted a son."

"This is Huo Mian."

Xia Taozhi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that. This is actually not uncommon among wealthy families. To put it bluntly, Huo Mian is also of the Huo family's blood, but he is not the Huo family's own biological son."

Han Xiao reached out and ruffled the girl's hair, "It just so happened that within two years of Huo Mian's arrival at the Huo family, Mrs. Huo became pregnant and gave birth to Huo Qing."

Han Xiao didn't need to tell what happened next, she also guessed it.

"Having a biological son of your own, of course you will look down on this adopted fake son." Xia Taozhi shrugged, "They just sent this son back?"

Han Xiao shook his head: "We can't send him back. Once he is sent back, the Huo family and his wife will be drowned in the spit of the entire family."

Think about it, if you can't give birth to a child, you will adopt someone else's son.

Later, when I had a biological son, I didn’t take the adopted child seriously and wanted to send him back. This didn’t make any sense.

Han Xiao slowly told Xia Taozhi that although the Huo family did not send Huo Mian back, Huo Mian had been isolated from all kinds of things in the Huo family since the moment Huo Qing was born.

In terms of money, the Huo family will not treat the nominal eldest young master badly, but he cannot appear on any occasion related to the Huo family.

So much so that Huo Qing still doesn't know that he has a so-called big brother.

"Huo Mian's qualifications are actually better than Huo Qing's. You see, he later found out that there was no development in the Huo family, so he simply took advantage of his family's support to go to the entertainment industry and got to his current status." Han Xiao said this Mr. Huo admired it very much.

"If Huo Qing could have half of his abilities, Mrs. Huo would probably wake up laughing even in her dreams."

He said shaking his head.

Xia Taozhi also sighed for a while: "Then... will the cancellation of the engagement with the Luo family really affect Huo Qing?"

"Yes, he will lose his inheritance rights. Even if Mrs. Huo is not willing, the company and the Huo family will not agree. Although the Huo family is not as good as our family, it has maintained prosperity for so many years, with so many mouths up and down relying on it. The company has food and life, how could they allow someone like Huo Qing to become the helmsman of the Huo family in the future. "

Han Xiao made the final decision.

The little woman was still doubtful: "But he is Mrs. Huo's biological son after all... I don't believe she would be so cruel."

"If he can keep his engagement with Luo Yingqiao, things will turn around. If not, it will happen sooner or later. By then, it will only be easier for Huo Mian."

Han Xiao's eyebrows darkened.

She was keenly aware of the other person's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but wonder: "Are you feeling sorry for your good friend? Do you want to help Huo Qing?"

"No."

He shook his head firmly and slowly, "The matter has reached this point, and no one can help him. Unless Luo Yingqiao changes her mind, from this point of view, I am not as useful as you. Maybe if you come forward to intercede for him, Luo Yingqiao can still Listen to you."

Xia Taozhi's face suddenly turned half black, and his head shook like a rattle.

"I don't want to help him! He ran to take care of his ex-girlfriend, so he missed an important occasion like the engagement party. I don't want this kind of man to give me anything!!"

Looking at the girl's little face that was slightly red with anger, Han Xiao was in a good mood.

His big palm pressed against hers: "That's right."

At this time, the Luo family was also holding a family meeting.

"Qiao Qiao is the apple of our Luo family's eye. She was originally married to that boy from the Huo family, but she showed up at the engagement party and didn't take our Luo family seriously at all."

"We don't accept the apology! We will break off the engagement!"

"Let the Huo family take a good look. Our Luo family is not a soft persimmon. Anyone can pinch it."

"It's so infuriating, it's just unreasonable."

The tables in the flower hall were filled with elders on both sides, and everyone was very angry. You were talking to me one sentence at a time, without any intention of stopping.

Mr. Luo, who was sitting at the top, closed his eyes and remained silent.

Until the housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "The eldest lady is back."

Mr. Luo slowly opened his eyes: "Let her come here quickly."

The elders in the room also became excited.

"How can Qiao Qiao endure that temper?"

"This brat Huo Qing is not worthy of carrying our eldest lady's shoes!!"

"Hurry up and publicly terminate the engagement, we will slap the Huo family hard!"

Just as he was talking, Luo Yingqiao strolled over.

"grandfather."

"I have something to discuss with you. Your parents, as well as your uncles and uncles, they can't argue. In the final analysis, this matter is still your own business. Grandpa wants to hear your thoughts."

As soon as Mr. Luo finished speaking, Luo Yingqiao decided: "I will not marry Huo Qing. This engagement is invalid. All the matters previously prepared for the engagement will be counted on the Huo family. In addition, I will also pay a sum of money." Damage fee.”

As expected of the eldest lady of the Luo family, she had already thought of everything on the way back.

Mr. Luo nodded appreciatively: "Yes, but now... there is another option. Mr. Huo told me about this in person this evening."

"What's the matter?" Luo Yingqiao was a little nervous.

This matter can be said to be a certainty, and it is impossible for her to consider Huo Qing again.

Why did grandpa say there was another option?

Mr. Luo: "The Huo family has another son. What the Huo family means is that Huo Qing, that indiscriminate brat, is not worthy of you, but this matter is indeed their fault and you have been wronged, so They decided to give up [-]% of the shares as a gift and let you consider changing the engagement partner to Huo Mian."

"Who?" Luo Yingqiao thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"Huo Mian, you know me. I've filmed with you before, and you two have formed some kind of screen star."

Luo Yingqiao's head buzzed, and she suddenly stopped making the decision.

On the second day, the preliminary results of the Summer Design Competition were announced.

Xia Taozhi Shou browsed the web page in the office for a long time and finally entered the official website.

In a series of lists, she got her wish and saw her name.

Very good!

Entered the preliminary round!

But along with the good news comes another bad news.

Tais called her: "It's like this. This year's competition system has changed. Contestants who have passed the preliminary round must paint on the spot. There are six major themes to choose from, and the focus is on on-site creation. Is your hand... okay?"

As if telepathically, her hands shook and she almost couldn't hold the phone steady.

"Fortunately, I'm fine."

She forced herself to take a deep breath.

After hanging up the phone and counting the time, she found that she could still complete two courses of treatment before going to compete abroad.

She made a quick decision and booked a flight for tonight.
