Chapter 233: Not Wanting to Be the Sucker

Huo Tingcheng continued calmly, "I’m not particularly keen on getting involved in the mess that is the Huo family. Here’s what I propose: if anyone here can fill this one-billion-yuan hole, I will transfer all the shares of the Huo Group under my and my wife's names to them!"

This time, everyone started discussing again, but the direction of their conversation had changed.

At this moment, the Huo Group became a hot potato.

Whoever took it would be a sucker.

That was a billion yuan in debt; who could pay it off?

Even Huo Jinzhou remained silent.

He knew very well the current financial situation of the Huo Group; they couldn’t come up with a billion yuan to repay the debt.

And the Lanyu Group couldn’t scrape together a billion yuan anytime soon either.

But he had finally found such a significant weakness in Huo Tingcheng!

If he didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to cripple him, he might never get another chance.

Huo Jinzhou’s veins bulged with anger.

Seeing the situation change so suddenly, Huo Jinzhou lost his composure, and Huo Mingying could no longer remain silent.

She hadn’t expected the old man to team up with Huo Tingcheng, that little beast, to dig such a big pit!

"Tingcheng, isn’t it too unkind to use this billion-yuan debt to make things difficult for everyone at this moment? After all, it was the Huo family that gave you and your mother a place to stay, allowing you to grow up safely in the capital as the eldest son of the Huo family. You were young when your mother passed away, so you might not understand her character. If it weren’t for my elder brother’s kindness in taking you both in, given her obsessive and deranged nature, it would have been hard for you to even be born safely..."

"So, Tingcheng should thank the Huo family for swindling his mother’s money and driving her to her death? I’ve seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless!"

Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the Huo family’s living room.

Yun Mu stepped in, her heels clicking sharply, her pace fierce.

Her seductive, soul-piercing eyes scanned the crowd, exuding danger.

"Yun Mu, this is a Huo family matter. As an outsider, you shouldn’t interfere."

"I am Tingcheng’s wife; how am I an outsider? By rights, you are the outsider here!"

Huo Tingcheng hadn’t expected that after their recent disagreement, this woman would still come over to defend him.

A warm feeling washed over him, and he reached out, pulling her to sit beside him.

Huo Mingying gritted her teeth, "An outsider? I am the eldest daughter of the Huo family, the daughter of my father!"

Yun Mu retorted, "You know you’re the eldest daughter of the Huo family, so why did you forget you were the old man’s daughter when you harbored feelings for your own brother?"

The room fell silent in shock.

Brother?

Huo Mingying harbored feelings for Huo Jinzhou’s father?

What a shocking revelation!

Huo Mingying stood up, pointing at Yun Mu, her face flushed with anger.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Huo Tingcheng also turned to Yun Mu, clearly hearing this for the first time.

Yun Mu’s eyes seemed to smile, or perhaps not, as she raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Whether it’s nonsense or not, everyone knows the truth. You were an adopted daughter, yet you were doted upon by the old man. Why were you suddenly sent abroad as an adult unless you did something shameful?"

"I went abroad to recuperate..."

"To recuperate? Where else couldn’t you do that? With the Huo family’s wealth, which country’s doctors couldn’t be brought in? Why did you have to spend over twenty years alone in a foreign land?"

Huo Mingying turned pale with anger, unable to refute.

Everyone watching understood immediately.

They hadn’t expected that Huo Mingying harbored feelings for her own brother!

Though not blood siblings, such a scandal in a wealthy family was truly disgraceful.

"Yun Mu! Don’t change the subject. My relationship with my brother has nothing to do with you! Today, we are discussing expelling you and your husband from the Huo family!"

"Nothing to do with me? If it weren’t for your jealousy towards Yi Qinglan, the elder master wouldn’t have hated her and her child so much! Yi Qinglan wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the capital, and they wouldn’t have been forced to become part of the Huo family. She wouldn’t have committed suicide due to depression, and Tingcheng wouldn’t have had such a dark childhood!"

"Of course, you never imagined that the elder master had some genuine feelings for Yi Qinglan, willing to accept Tingcheng as his own despite knowing he wasn’t his biological son. Huo Mingying, can you say none of this is your fault?"

Yun Mu’s words were sharp and piercing. Huo Mingying trembled, unable to utter a single word.

Yes, if she had known earlier that Huo Tingcheng wasn’t her brother’s child, she would have done everything to prevent that woman from staying in the capital and stop her elder brother from abandoning Huo Tingcheng!

She wouldn’t have followed the old man’s wishes and left the country alone.

Even if it meant defying the world, she would have fought for herself.

Yun Mu added fuel to the fire, "Miss Huo, I feel sorry for you. If you hadn’t sowed discord and caused the elder master to imprison Yi Qinglan, maybe she would have taken Tingcheng to find his real father. You might have slowly won the elder master’s heart."

Huo Mingying swayed slightly and collapsed onto the sofa.

Huo Tingcheng glanced coldly at Huo Mingying and scoffed, "Ha, this Huo family is truly a cesspool! I’m immensely grateful that I’m not part of it."

Yun Mu comfortingly squeezed his hand.

She relied on her intuition and sensed that Huo Mingying seemed to harbor too much hostility toward Yi Qinglan, so she secretly investigated the matter. She never expected to uncover these things.

Huo Tingcheng gave her a look, signaling that he was fine.

Huo Mingying now looked like a deflated balloon, sitting dejectedly on the sofa with tears in her eyes.

Huo Jinzhou gritted his teeth.

It seems there's no way to bring down Huo Tingcheng today!

Without the 20% stake in Di Jue, how could he ever compete against him solely with the Lanyu Group?

Second Uncle Huo still wasn't giving up.

"Huo Tingcheng, let's be clear about this. If today's incident becomes public, it won't look good for any of us. Even if you're unwilling to part with the 20% share of Di Jue, surely you can give up the shares of the Huo family? As for the ten billion, since Grandpa borrowed it, he should repay it himself."

Yun Mu was almost amused by his audacity.

Huo Tingcheng narrowed his eyes and lit another cigarette. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he glanced at Second Uncle Huo and casually said, "Fine."

The two words left everyone stunned.

Why did Huo Tingcheng suddenly agree?

When something unusual happens, there must be a hidden reason!

Third Uncle Huo had an ominous feeling but couldn't figure out Huo Tingcheng's intentions.

"Tingcheng, are you really willing to leave the Huo family without anything?"

Huo Tingcheng's expression remained inscrutable as he flicked the ash off his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "Leaving the Huo family is not a problem. The ten billion debt can be considered my repayment for all these years of support from the Huo family. Additionally, all the properties and cars under my name will also be returned."
