After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

As soon as these words were spoken, the already quiet scene fell into dead silence. No one dared to make a sound.

Huo Zhiqi regretted it only after he said it, but he stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, don't blame me. I didn't tell the truth. None of us want to see our second brother die, but you can't ask us to give in to our nephew because of this incident."

"If you want to give all of Huo's to your nephew, you can just say so directly. There's no need to keep treating him differently."

"If this happened to me, you would have asked me to divorce you and apologize."

Perhaps it was the different treatment from Mr. Huo over the years that made Huo Zhiqi vent all his grievances.

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Mr. Huo's face became more and more gloomy.

Huo Jingxiu had no choice but to look up from the documents and said indifferently, "That's enough. Dad knows what to do. Third brother, you've been in trouble before, so don't make yourself sound so innocent."

"Why are you talking so much!" Huo Zhiqi retorted unconvinced.

Huo Jingxiu glanced at him coldly, "I'm just telling the truth. This matter is not so easy to deal with. It depends on what Dad plans to do."

"Moreover, if we cut the brocade directly, it will not greatly improve the reputation of our group in the short term, and it may even make the designer worried."

"At least based on the current situation, not everything uploaded online is true." Huo Jingxiu said, "Jingcheng is also dealing with this matter. They have responded actively. We might as well wait and see what the situation is before making a decision."

The surrounding low pressure dissipated a little.

Huo Jingxiu said, "You are not in the company, so you naturally don't know how many steps are needed to handle a public relations incident. Cutting off the relationship directly would be a joke. Zhu Jin is not only Jing Cheng's wife, she is also the chief designer of Huo's Group. Unless it is proven that she really plagiarized or has bad conduct. Otherwise, I don't recommend cutting off the relationship now."

Huo Jingxiu's words were clear and well-reasoned.

Huo Zhiqi could only snort coldly.

"Jingxiu is right." Huo Zhigao quickly agreed and praised, "Jingxiu has been in the company for so many years, and she has indeed learned a lot of knowledge. She is worthy of being Jingxiu. Third brother, you still need to learn more from my younger sister, and stop spending money and having fun all day long."

Huo Zhigao tried to smooth things over before Huo Zhiqi could do anything else. "Alright, alright, we are all brothers and sisters. Didn't Dad say that you can't write two Huo characters with one stroke? Let's wait and see about this matter. In the evening, I'll contact Jingcheng to see if they have any tricks up their sleeves."

Huo Zhiqi snorted in dissatisfaction, "You just spoil him!"

After saying that, he threw down his chopsticks and turned away rudely.

Mr. Huo's face looked so gloomy that water could drip from it.

After the meal, the remaining three members of the Huo family ate in silence.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was so depressing that it felt like a huge stone was pressing on one's chest.

After finishing his meal, Mr. Huo went upstairs without saying a word.

Huo Zhigao waited until he completely disappeared from his sight before he said with a fake smile, "Little sister, I didn't expect you to care so much about Jingcheng. Don't forget, Dad is so unwilling to give you a position now because he is still here."

Huo Jingxiu tightened his grip on the chopsticks.

"My brother-in-law hasn't come back today." Huo Zhigao stood up and said casually, "If that incident hadn't happened, my fourth brother-in-law wouldn't have been transferred to He City."

“I just don’t know who did it.”

Huo Zhigao said, "I am just speaking up for you. After all, you have given so much to the Huo family, but in the end, you are not as good as a child. If you were a boy, you would definitely be more capable than the second child."

Huo Jingxiu didn't respond, but his hands hanging by his side subconsciously clenched into fists.

The Huo family and the Huo Group in China were both in turmoil. In a foreign hotel, Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng were not much affected by the public opinion on the Internet.

The hotel they stayed in had a high level of privacy and protection, and there would be no case of selling guest information.

As it was the off-season these days, many foreign contestants had only heard about this incident but did not know what exactly happened.

Assistant Chen was surprised at Zhu Jin's foresight after the incident.

I didn’t expect that Zhu Jin could predict how things would develop in advance.

"I can send out the content I asked you to organize in the evening," said Zhu Jin.

"Do they need to be developed separately?" Assistant Chen asked.

Zhu Jin was standing in front of the French window in the study. She looked out the window at the bustling night scene, and felt her eyes were blurry and dreamy.

The night scenes of big cities are often as beautiful as paintings, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"No need." Zhu Jin turned around and said, "Just send them all at once. This time, beat them to death. By the way, have you contacted those people?"

Assistant Chen nodded, "Yes. They don't want to accept the money you gave them. This matter is also for their own sake. If it weren't for you, they would not have the ability or courage to speak out against all this."

"Well. If you don't want to accept the money, just ask if you are willing to study abroad. I will reimburse your living expenses and tuition fees." Zhu Jin said.

She won't ask people to do her favors for no reason.

It took a lot of courage for those people to come forward as witnesses.

If you make a wrong move, you will lose everything.

Although Zhu Jin felt that he would definitely not lose.

"Yes."

Assistant Chen met Huo Jingcheng when he left the study.

This time, he did not look at the other party to ask whether he should handle the matter according to Zhu Jin's order.

After spending the past few days together, Assistant Chen has already understood the Second Master's attitude towards this matter and his respect for the Second Wife.

He also finds his position well.

"Second Master." Assistant Chen nodded politely.

"Well, go ahead." Huo Jingcheng waved his hand.

"Yes."

Huo Jingcheng stood up only after he pushed the wheelchair into the study.

He hugged Zhu Jin, who was standing in front of the window looking at the scenery, and lowered his head to smell the faint scent of perfume on her body.

"Huo Zhiqi is making a fuss." Huo Jingcheng said.

Zhu Jin turned around, his eyes full of worry, "Have I waited too long? Will this matter affect your future plans? Otherwise, I'll ask Assistant Chen to deal with it quickly?"

"If my grandfather or the Huo Group's board of directors is dissatisfied, I can resign," said Zhu Jin.

She didn't want her affairs to implicate Huo Jingcheng.

She was very worried that her decision would affect Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng did not answer, but interlocked his fingers with hers, palms touching, as if they could feel each other's warmth and heartbeat from the pressed palms.
