Chapter 454 - 454: I Don ‘t Live Alone (2)

At this moment, it was worth Master Xiao showing the contempt of a king. But people were just that strong. Could Huo Shengyuan refute that? No. Even though Master Xiao had been deliberately keeping a low profile these few days and not showing off his abilities, the relaxed feeling of being calm in the face of danger still shocked everyone present, old and young. An outstanding person would naturally be the king no matter where they went.

“Big Brother, your hearing will be greatly limited.” Mu Qingya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Is that so? I’ve been deaf for ten years. Has my hearing limited me?”

Everyone was stunned, because not everyone knew that Huo Jiuxiao was deaf. Now that it was brought up in the banquet, everyone was shocked again.

First, they lamented that Mu Qingya was really ill-mannered and used others’ flaws to attack others. Secondly, they lamented that Huo Jiuxiao, who had been deaf for ten years, was still an existence that foreign mercenaries feared. If he still had his hearing, how many possibilities would he have created?

Elder Xu couldn’t help but speak up for Huo Jiuxiao. “Indeed, hearing won’t limit a person, but vision will. Qingya, what do you think?”

Mu Qingya’s face stiffened.

At this moment, Huo Shengyuan turned his head and glanced at Mu Qingya. He frowned as if he was very dissatisfied with her words.

“Lin girl, what about you? Do you agree with Jiuxiao’s choice?” Elder Xu still wanted to know what Lin Wanli was thinking.

“I agree.” Lin Wanli answered without batting an eyelid.

“What a boring answer,” Xu’s mother couldn’t help but laugh.

“Because I know what kind of person he is.” At this moment, Lin Wanli continued.

“Girl, you really know how to coax people.”

[Am I good at coaxing people? Master Xiao.] Lin Wanli asked in her heart.

Huo Jiuxiao pinched the tender flesh on her palm, as if he didn’t need to answer this question.

Everyone could tell that Xu Chonglou was testing the two Huo brothers. Of course, the result was within their expectations. Only Huo Shengyuan and his wife were angry. They felt that the answers to these questions were boring and meaningless. Anyone could play with their mouth, but who was the one who was really beneficial to the Huo Corporation?

These two people did not have much humanity, so they could not understand why others wanted to test their humanity. They only felt that they had lost face, but they couldn’t figure out why they had lost or who they had lost face to.

Xu Jingzhi, on the other hand, had changed his opinion of Huo Jiuxiao because the strong had a natural attraction to those who were stronger. Not to mention that Huo Jiuxiao had once held a gun and fought on the battlefield, and he had even fought as a disabled person. This made Xu Jingzhi full of respect and curiosity for him. Of course, he didn’t show it, but he also doubted Huo Jiuxiao’s words.

He was too curious. He really wanted to verify it.

In the afternoon, everyone dispersed. In the afternoon, everyone had free time to move around and rest because tomorrow was Elder Xu’s birthday banquet.

Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya quarreled as soon as they returned to their room. Although Huo Shengyuan rarely lost his temper, Mu Qingya’s disgraceful words just now made him want to vomit blood.

“I just couldn’t help it. I wanted to stand up for you. Besides, wasn’t what I said the truth? He was just a deaf person. A deaf person just couldn’t hear the mockery and humiliation of others. So what if he was strong? He was only disabled! Not only did you not comfort me, you even blamed me. Shengyuan, you weren’t like this in the past.”

Mu Qingya’s usual trick was to throw the blame on anyone when she argued with them. Of course, this was also the first time she had used this trick on Huo Shengyuan. After all, before Huo Jiuxiao came back, they were very compatible.

“You knew that it was a test from the elders, so why did you still speak?

Actually, you can choose not to say anything.”

“Alright, no matter how others humiliate and trample on you in the future, I will choose to remain silent. Is that okay?” After venting, Mu Qingya slammed the door and entered the bathroom.

Huo Shengyuan rubbed his temples and suppressed the frustration in his heart. He just wanted to find a place where no one was around and vent his emotions.

Why was Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli able to sing along so naturally while Mu Qingya could only cause trouble for him? Mu Qingya was clearly the daughter of a wealthy family, but Huo Shengyuan couldn’t figure this out.

Of course, the scarier thing was yet to come. Mu Qingya didn’t tell Huo Shengyuan that the deal with the pavilion was discovered and Mother Xu already knew about the collaboration between Huo Shengyuan and Su Yuanchao. These two things were like a time bomb that could explode at any time.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingya wished she could just leave.

Why was it that after Huo Jiuxiao returned, her and Huo Shengyuan’s steps were so difficult? She only hoped that the luncheon did not affect Huo Shengyuan’s position in Elder Xu’s heart.

However, she had never thought about why there was such a thing as a test. When this kind of thing came out, it already proved that Huo Shengyuan was no longer the only candidate for the Huo Corporation.

On the other side, Xu Jingzhi returned to his room. Bored, he took out his phone and Group chats with a few military officers. He also mentioned that he had seen an existence that even mercenaries feared in the Xu family.

[Little Jing, are you not even thinking about what you should say now?] The few of them teased him in the group chat.

Master Jing: “Really, I’m not lying to you guys.”

P: ” Hey, your father does have that bullsh*t list from overseas. It’s updated every year. I’ll post it out. Little Jing, circle it and let your father broaden his horizons.. “
