Dr. Yang took another sip of coffee. Thinking of Huo Zhen back then, he was much cuter than he was now. Dr. Yang still remembered clearly how he had held sway over Huo Zhen for a long time because of a recording.
After that incident, Huo Zhen was truly well - behaved. Maybe no matter how bold he was, his parents could always keep him in check. Dr. Yang had a much more peaceful time during that period.
Huo Zhen stopped causing trouble. Even when he didn't feel like eating at all, he would still take a few bites. Those young girls who came to deliver meals were no longer scolded. Seeing that Huo Zhen was willing to eat, they would leave with smiles on their faces.
As for the medicine, he must take it. Moreover, Dr. Yang would watch him take it.
However, such days didn't last long. Huo Zhen was only well - behaved for a while and then reverted to his old self. Dr. Yang thought he had forgotten about the recording in his hand.
Who would have known that when Dr. Yang mentioned the recorder to Huo Zhen, Huo Zhen took out a recorder from his pocket, exactly the same as the one in Dr. Yang's hand. Dr. Yang was suddenly a bit flustered.
"Dr. Yang, check if there's still anything in your recorder before you say anything," Huo Zhen said smugly.
Dr. Yang suddenly panicked. Judging from Huo Zhen's expression, it didn't seem like he was bluffing.
He quickly turned on the recorder and, sure enough, found that the recording was gone. Then he saw Huo Zhen turn on his own recorder.
Huo Zhen's voice came out clearly.
Before Dr. Yang could finish listening, Huo Zhen deleted the recording directly and then looked at Dr. Yang smugly.
Dr. Yang suddenly bent down and burst into laughter, which really confused Huo Zhen. What was going on? Had he been so stimulated that he had gone crazy?
After a long time, when Huo Zhen felt that his patience was reaching its limit, Dr. Yang stopped laughing. After having laughed enough, Dr. Yang got up, holding his waist.
"Third Young Master Huo, why do you think I would only keep one copy of such an important recording?"
"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about me. Don't worry. I've kept several copies of this recording on my phone, computer, and even on social media."
Dr. Yang looked extremely self - satisfied. Huo Zhen felt exactly the same as Dr. Yang had just felt. Similarly, just as Dr. Yang had been unable to do anything about Huo Zhen before, now Huo Zhen was unable to do anything about Dr. Yang.
Just like this, Huo Zhen reluctantly obeyed for a long time. But there were always times when Dr. Yang was not around. During these times, the servants suffered. They were often scolded by Huo Zhen, and the young girls were always scolded to tears.
As time went by, the building where the third young master lived became the place the servants least wanted to go. That was why, except for delivering meals and cleaning, the servants basically never set foot in Huo Zhen's building.
Dr. Yang was the only one in the Huo family, apart from Huo Zhen's parents, who could persuade him to eat.
"Sigh."
Dr. Yang couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about his efforts over the years, it really hadn't been easy.
If he hadn't developed the nutritional tablets later, according to Huo Zhen's antics, Dr. Yang felt that he would have been exhausted sooner or later. Especially after Huo Zhen grew up, he was less and less threatened by Dr. Yang. It seemed that his parents didn't really care either.
If he didn't do something, Huo Zhen might really stop eating.
When Dr. Yang looked up, he was surprised to find that Huo Zhen was sitting at the dining table and already eating. Looking at Huo Zhen, Dr. Yang felt a bit dazed. He couldn't remember when the last time was that Huo Zhen had sat at the dining table like this to eat.
"You..." Dr. Yang was too surprised to find the right words.
Huo Zhen just gave him a cold look and didn't explain.
The young maid who delivered the meal today was also very surprised. When she came to deliver the meal, the third young master didn't get angry or scold her. Instead, he sat down and started eating.
This young maid wasn't delivering the meal to Huo Zhen for the first time. A few months ago, she had come once, but was severely scolded by Huo Zhen. It was her first time, and she had been left with a psychological shadow.
She had gone there with a smile but returned in tears.
After that, the young maid refused to go to deliver the meal to Huo Zhen. She had avoided it for several months. But when she couldn't avoid it any longer, she finally summoned up the courage to come to Huo Zhen's building.
The result really surprised her.
The turmoil in the Huo family seemed to have subsided, but in fact, there were still undercurrents. Only Huo Zhen and the fifth young lady seemed to be doing nothing and not affected by this turmoil.
But soon, the ripples turned into waves.
As soon as the morning incident happened, people were investigating. Huo Cheng was also busy. He was actually quite eager to see what would happen next.
In the room of the eldest sister of the Huo family, Huo Yan was extremely angry. She never expected that Huo Cheng would manage to escape unscathed.
"Eldest Miss, calm down. Next time, we will definitely manage to lock him up in the Huo family's dungeon."
"You make it sound so easy. We've checked the surveillance, and the Buddhist relic is on that kid. All the evidence points to Huo Cheng. Even so, Father and Mother only confined him to his room."
Bang!
There was another sound of something breaking. Just thinking about her parents' attitude made Huo Yan angry. They had always been partial to Huo Cheng since childhood. Now that Huo Cheng had "committed" such a mistake, they still protected him.
Huo Yan really couldn't understand. Why?
"Why is elder sister so angry?"
Huo An walked in, looking extremely smug.
Huo Yan raised her eyebrows when she saw her second younger brother. "What do you mean, second brother? Do you mean you have a solution?"
"Of course I do. I just don't know if elder sister is willing to listen."
"Since you've come to my place, second brother, you're going to say it anyway, whether I want to listen or not. So, just say what you have to say."
"Elder sister, it's actually very easy to deal with Huo Cheng. Think about what Huo Cheng's weakness is. Just target his weakness."
"What do you plan to do?" Huo Yan sat up straight immediately.
"Isn't Gu Sisi Huo Cheng's weakness? Huo Cheng definitely won't tell Gu Sisi what's going on in this family. But if someone tells Gu Sisi about Huo Cheng's current situation..."
"I think with Gu Sisi's personality, she won't sit back and do nothing. She will definitely come to the Huo family. With Gu Sisi as a constraint, all of Huo Cheng's movements will be restricted because he has to consider Gu Sisi."
"Even if Huo Cheng isn't restricted because of Gu Sisi, when Father and Mother see Gu Sisi, they will naturally be annoyed, and they will be more disappointed in Huo Cheng."
"Wouldn't this give us a better chance of winning no matter what Huo Cheng wants to do?" Huo An looked at Huo Yan with a smile. Their eyes were filled with calculation.
In their eyes, Gu Sisi was just an insignificant woman. But precisely because she was Huo Cheng's weakness, she seemed to have some value.
