Chapter 239: Expelling Huo Mingying

Chapter 239: Expelling Huo Mingying

As soon as Lawyer Qin left, Li Yunlan could no longer contain her anger and glared coldly at Huo Tingying.

"Sure enough, you've bewitched the old man! Tell me, what did you say to him that day in the hospital? What deal did you make?"

Huo Tingying lazily leaned back on the sofa, his cold gaze falling on Li Yunlan. "Struggle and fight all you want! In the end, everything still falls into my hands. You're all just capable of so much."

Li Yunlan's face flushed red. "Huo Tingying, don't go too far!"

Even Huo Jinzhou couldn't maintain his composure anymore, gritting his teeth and saying, "Huo Tingying, you should have no interest in the Huo Group. Why bother competing with me? As an outsider, if you had any self-awareness, you wouldn't dare to claim the Huo family's assets."

Huo Tingying lifted his eyelids and gave them a cold glance.

"What good does yelling at me do? If you have the guts, go down and argue with the old man about his will. He's the one who wrote it!"

Li Yunlan trembled with rage. "You! How dare you curse me to death!"

Huo Tingying's thin lips curled up, his handsome face exuding a sinister arrogance. "What's there for me to fear? You know my temper. If I'm displeased, no one gets off easy! Now, there's no old man to plead for you!"

Everyone felt a chill run through them.

Indeed, he was a living demon!

Now that he held all the power in the Huo family, if truly provoked, he might very well drive them all out of Africa.

This time, even Huo's second uncle wisely kept silent.

Seeing this, Li Yunlan could only look up at Huo Mingying, who was still standing at the stairwell.

"Huo Mingying, what are you waiting for? Can't you see how Huo Tingying is stepping all over us now? Logically, the Huo family should also have a share for you. Aren't you going to say something?"

At this moment, she didn't care about any past grievances, assuming Huo Mingying would be unhappy with the old man's will and join their side against Huo Tingying.

But unexpectedly, Huo Mingying, who had been sharp and determined since returning, now looked defeated and said listlessly, "I have nothing to say."

Li Yunlan, "You..."

Huo Jinzhou also raised his eyes to look at Huo Mingying, his narrow eyes filled with coldness.

"Speaking of which, Aunt has stayed in the capital long enough. It's time to return to Country G."

Huo Mingying was taken aback. "After Father's funeral..."

"No need. I've already arranged a ticket for you to leave tonight for Country G." Huo Tingying's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing Huo Mingying from afar. "Before I change my mind, get out of the capital! Don't ever come back in your lifetime!"

Everyone was stunned.

What did this mean?

The old man's body was barely cold, yet Huo Tingying was expelling his most beloved daughter from China, never allowing her to return!

Was he even human?

More astonishingly, Huo Mingying's face turned pale, but she made no resistance, nodding sadly, "Alright, I'll go."

Huo Tingying's lips curved in satisfaction.

Huo Mingying had killed the old man, and according to his original plan, he intended to take her life in exchange.

But facing the old man's memorial hall and portrait, he suddenly softened.

That old man had treated him well. If this was his last wish, he would comply once.

Just this once.

If that woman ever dared to show her face in China again, he would not let her go!

Li Yunlan was surprised and looked at Huo Jinzhou.

Huo Jinzhou had already made up his mind, shaking his head at her, signaling her to stay out of it.

Huo Mingying turned and went back to her room.

Facing everyone's astonished gazes, Huo Tingying rose abruptly.

His sinister gaze swept around the room, and everyone immediately felt a tremendous pressure, as if a sword were hanging over their heads.

He smirked coldly, and everyone held their breath, watching him intently.

He spoke word by word.

"Since the old man insists on handing the Huo Group to me, I have a few things to say."

"From now on, whether you accept it or not, I am the leader of the Huo family. With the precedents set by Second Uncle and Third Uncle, if you don't want to be sent to Africa for re-education, you'd better behave. Eat what you eat, drink what you drink, and be content with being parasites. Stop plotting for power every day!"

Ha!

The old man has barely passed away, and Huo Tingying is already trying to establish his authority?

Huo Tingying laid down his terms and continued.

"However... honestly, I have little interest in the Huo Group and no time to manage it. Here's the deal: whoever can meet the group's targets first this quarter will be appointed as the executive director."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Did Huo Tingying mean they still had a chance to compete for the position of executive director?

And if he wasn't going to interfere with the management of the Huo Group, whoever became the executive director would essentially be in charge of the entire group?

Everyone was restless.

Only Huo Jinzhou clenched his fists tighter and tighter.

Huo Tingying clearly knew that he was determined to obtain the Huo Group and would not be content with this distribution of the will; he would find ways to reclaim the Huo Group in the future.

So he deliberately took a step back, allowing other uncles and cousins in the Huo family to compete for the position of executive director of the Huo Group.

In reality, he was buying people's loyalty and arranging competitors for him!

After all, whoever became the executive director would wholeheartedly assist Huo Tingying, naturally becoming his formidable rival!

Li Yunlan wasn't foolish and instantly understood that Huo Tingying was setting a trap for her son.

She was so angry that she saw stars, trembling as she pointed at Huo Tingying.

"Huo Tingying, you ambitious bastard! Get out! This is the Huo residence, my home! Get out!"

After all, according to the old man's will, this old Huo residence belonged to her and her son.

But with a mere glance from the old butler, none of the security guards or servants dared to approach and drive him away.

This Huo residence is now under the control of the eldest young master.

Who would dare offend him?

Even the other Huo family members who had been in cahoots with her earlier were now harboring their own schemes and did not want to oppose Huo Tingying anymore.

Not only that, if they wanted to compete for the position of executive chairman of the Huo Group in the future, they might even have to curry favor with Huo Tingying.

Li Yunlan was utterly humiliated yet extremely resentful.

She screamed and lunged at Huo Tingying but was deftly dodged by him, falling onto a chair like a madwoman.

"Mom!"

Huo Jinzhou hurriedly went to support her.

Huo Tingying sneered, "Mrs. Huo seems to be losing her mind. Butler, please escort her down and have the servants watch over her. Don't let her scare the guests!"

With this, Huo Tingying was stripping Li Yunlan of even the right to attend Old Master Huo's funeral!

The old butler acknowledged, "Yes."

Huo Jinzhou was enraged, "Huo Tingying, don't go too far!"

"So what if I do? Prove yourself if you can!" Huo Tingying showed no mercy.

Everyone remained silent.
