"Unfilial son! Stop right there! When did I allow you to leave? Do you think you can just walk out of the Huo family whenever you want?!" roared Father Huo.
"Then what do you want me to do, Father? No matter what you say, I won't change my mind. I've never liked the Huo family or the way it educated me," said Huo Cheng confidently and unapologetically.
"You unfilial son! The Huo family raised and educated you, and this is how you repay us?" Mother Huo, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, but like Father Huo, she immediately called Huo Cheng an unfilial son.
The eldest sister of the Huo family was practically clapping her hands in glee. The second brother, though he didn't say anything, was secretly gloating. Only the fifth sister of the Huo family was truly worried about Huo Cheng.
The fifth sister didn't expect that as soon as she got home, she would run into her fourth brother arguing with their parents. Although she had long known that her fourth brother disliked the ideas their parents had instilled in him since childhood, she never thought he would rebel so directly.
At that moment, all Huo Cheng could think about was rebellion and confrontation with his parents. He had lost all his rationality and didn't notice that there were flaws in the whole thing from the very beginning.
Not caring about anything else, Huo Cheng left with his people after making his statement.
Naturally, Father and Mother Huo didn't send anyone to chase after him. Although he was their favorite son, his blatant disobedience made them decide to let him go, no matter how reluctant they were.
The eldest sister of the Huo family achieved her goal, and Huo Cheng truly left the Huo family, at least in his own eyes.
But in fact, Mother Huo still held out hope that one day Huo Cheng would return to the Huo family. After all, mothers tend to be more affectionate towards their sons, and Mother Huo wasn't as heartless as Father Huo.
For a long time after that, the Huo family never mentioned Huo Cheng again. Huo Cheng seemed to have become a taboo in Father Huo's mouth.
Maybe Father Huo could never understand why the son he had valued so much and painstakingly raised for so many years would break with the family for a woman.
At that time, there was still the family motto of the Huo family, but Huo Cheng hadn't clearly stated that he wanted to marry that girl. Coupled with their anger, they didn't bring it up.
In the first few days, the eldest sister of the Huo family fanned the flames in front of their parents and smeared Huo Cheng's image. She also played a major role in making Huo Cheng a taboo in the family.
But later, she couldn't laugh anymore because Huo Cheng finally discovered the truth.
After Huo Cheng returned with his people, he couldn't find a place to settle them for a while, so he let them stay in his house. Huo Cheng was still as cold as ice, looking as if he was still angry.
The girl then stayed in Huo Cheng's house. While living there, she secretly contacted the eldest sister of the Huo family and revealed Huo Cheng's daily life and general whereabouts.
The eldest sister of the Huo family wasn't satisfied with this. She wanted more. She wanted to ruin other aspects of Huo Cheng's life so that he would never regain the favor of their parents.
Imagine that Huo Cheng, who was once known for his intelligence and was highly regarded by his parents, suddenly had a big fight with the family for an unknown woman and even said that he would never return to the Huo family.
Father and Mother Huo still held out a glimmer of hope, but if something went wrong with Huo Cheng's career, then he would really be good for nothing, and their parents would be completely disappointed and would no longer value him.
Without Huo Cheng as an obstacle, the eldest sister of the Huo family thought her path would be much smoother.
So the eldest sister asked the girl to show in front of Huo Cheng that she wanted to go back to work in the company. Sure enough, Huo Cheng arranged for her to go to work in the company the next day.
Moreover, he promoted her from an intern to his secretary. This position had been vacant before, and with this girl, Huo Cheng finally had his first secretary.
Huo Cheng also found an apartment for the girl near the company, rented it, and paid the rent for her. The girl shyly asked why he was so nice to her.
Huo Cheng began to talk about his childhood, but the girl knew nothing about it and could only muddle through. The eldest sister of the Huo family hadn't provided her with this information.
In fact, the eldest sister didn't know about this either. When they were looking for Huo Cheng, the eldest sister didn't go to that village, and even if she had, it would have been useless.
Because at that time, Huo Cheng had met Gu Sisi when they were children, and only the two of them knew about it.
Facing the girl's amnesia, Huo Cheng didn't care or suspect. He thought that so much time had passed, and when he was a child, he had long hair and was called a little sister.
Gu Sisi was even younger at that time, so Huo Cheng naturally thought it was normal for the girl not to remember.
After the girl re - entered the company, on the surface, she worked very hard. But her hard work wasn't for Huo Cheng. As a secretary, she had access to many confidential documents.
This gave her many opportunities. The eldest sister of the Huo family got a lot of information from her and knew everything about Huo Cheng's company. The eldest sister also arranged many people in Huo Cheng's company to cooperate.
Huo Cheng's losses became more and more serious, and he began to suspect. It wasn't until the bidding price was leaked in advance that Huo Cheng suddenly realized that there was a mole in the company.
Huo Cheng slowly investigated and found many people involved. When he traced it back to the source, he found that it was his secretary. At first, Huo Cheng didn't believe it.
At that time, Huo Cheng only thought that the girl looked so innocent and kind that she couldn't possibly do such a thing. It wasn't until the evidence was presented in front of him that he believed it.
Huo Cheng started to investigate and found that his secretary had regular meetings with someone, and that person was none other than his eldest sister.
Seeing his eldest sister talking to the innocent and kind - looking girl in his eyes, Huo Cheng felt like he had been deceived and betrayed.
So Huo Cheng went straight to the girl, threw a pile of evidence in front of her, and said he would fire her. Since she was a mole in the company, there was no need for her to stay.
The girl lowered her head, looking so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her. Huo Cheng also felt a bit reluctant at that time, so he stepped forward and asked if she had any difficulties or if she had been threatened.
But unexpectedly, when Huo Cheng got closer, the girl suddenly looked up and smiled, then stabbed him in the stomach. Huo Cheng never expected this move and was caught off guard. He took the stab.
The girl was quickly subdued. It turned out that she had been acting all along, but Huo Cheng had been completely unaware.
After being discharged from the hospital, Huo Cheng's personality changed greatly. He became colder and more ruthless than before. He launched a full - scale revenge on his eldest sister and crippled her right - hand men. From then on, he was hated by his eldest sister.
