Chapter 148: Grandpa Huo

The Huo family had a big business. Although the old man only had two sons, with his daughters and a collateral relative, the Huo family could be considered a noble family in Beijing.

Huo Xuan’s father, Huo Tao, was Old Master Huo’s eldest son. Among Huo Xuan’s generation, he was the eldest grandson, so when the servants in the house saw him, they all greeted him as the eldest young master.

“Aunt Sun,” Huo Xuan answered the woman softly. He walked around her and brought Mo Zhu straight into the house.

Before the two of them entered the main hall, a noise came from the room inside. Mo Zhu frowned without batting an eyelid, an inexplicable frustration rising in her heart. She really did not like this kind of noisy environment.

The moment Huo Xuan brought Mo Zhu in, the huge living room instantly quieted down. Everyone in the hall looked up at the two of them.

A middle-aged woman who was dressed elegantly cleared her throat and took a few steps forward. She held Huo Xuan’s hand affectionately and said, “Xuan’er, I didn’t expect your illness to really recover. Last time, I didn’t dare to believe it when sister-in-law told me about it. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I’m so relieved.”

The person who spoke was Huo Xuan’s youngest aunt, Huo Lian. She was ranked sixth in the family. Previously, when he was still sick, he hadn’t seen this aunt act so eagerly. Now that he had recovered, she had come up to him forcefully and tried to make her presence known.

Huo Xuan pulled his hand out of the woman’s grasp with all his might, and his lips curled into a fake smile. “Thank you for your concern, Aunt. I’ve naturally recovered faster after staying in Cloud City to recuperate.”

Seeing that Huo Xuan had glossed over the matter without a trace, the woman did not ask for trouble. She raised her head curiously and turned to Mo Zhu, who had been standing beside Huo Xuan without saying anything. She smiled and said, “Wow, the girl that Xuan’er brought home looks rather pretty…”

Knowing that Huo Lian had ill intentions when she said this, Huo Xuan quietly used his body to block the woman’s line of sight. Before he could explain anything, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps coming down the stairs from behind.

“Brother Xuan, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Before she could finish speaking, a petite girl rushed over and threw herself into Huo Xuan’s arms.

Mo Zhu looked coldly at the two of them hugging in public, her eyes instantly darkening.

At this moment, Huo Xuan didn’t expect someone to suddenly appear. He quickly reached out and pulled the girl away from his arms. He didn’t control his strength well and pushed her two meters away.

Mo Zhu was amused by the man’s stiff movements. The corners of her lips curled up as she used her body to separate the two of them. She raised her finger and pointed at Huo Xuan, saying seriously, “I’m sorry, please stay away from this man. He’s mine.”

The girl was provoked by her words. She looked up at Mo Zhu with a blushed face and said, “You! How dare you say this in front of me! Do you know who I am?!”

“I don’t know and I’m not interested.” Mo Zhu grabbed the girl coldly.

Seeing the two of them argue, Huo Xuan stood at the side and watched the commotion.

Huo Xuan chuckled quietly, and the corners of his lips curled up. Was this girl jealous?

The girl was obviously angered by Mo Zhu’s disregard for her. She shouted at Huo Xuan from afar, aggrieved, “Brother Xuan! Who exactly is this woman? What relationship do you have with her? How dare she shout at me in the Huo family! Quickly chase her out!”

That was not the end of her sentence. The girl’s eyes were red and she wanted to curse Mo Zhu again. However, before she could speak, another lady came down from the stairs and grabbed her.

“That’s enough, Ying’er. Stop fooling around with your Brother Huo Xuan. He just got home, stop it for a while.”

Pulling the girl behind her, the wealthy lady patted her hand and looked at Mo Zhu. “Young lady, don’t be angry. Kang Ying is used to fooling around with Xuan’er since she was young. She must have frightened you.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she waved her hand generously. She was very clear about the twists and turns in these people’s hearts. However, as long as it wasn’t too much, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with these middle-aged women.

With these three people taking the initiative to speak, the people who had been sitting in the living room for a long time all gathered around and chatted casually with Huo Xuan. On the surface, they looked like they were very concerned about Huo Xuan’s condition, but in fact, all of their questions were directed to find out the divine doctor who had cured his strange illness.

Everyone surrounded him. Although Mo Zhu stood rooted to the ground, she was still a little far from Huo Xuan as these people squeezed her away from him.

At this moment, the sound of crutches approaching came from afar. An old man who didn’t look young opened the door and walked out. As he walked in the direction of Huo Xuan, he said, “Is it Xuan’er? I heard that Xuan’er has recovered. Come over and let me take a good look.”

Knowing that the person who came was Huo Xuan’s grandfather, Mo Zhu secretly took two steps back and made way for Grandfather Huo.

He successfully walked to Huo Xuan and grabbed the man’s hand in excitement. With tears in his eyes, he said happily, “Xuan’er, I didn’t expect your illness to really be cured. The heavens really took care of you and didn’t make me send you off.”

“Grandpa, I miss you too.” Huo Xuan shook Grandpa Huo’s hand affectionately, his expression polite and respectful.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Zhu was also moved. She never expected that there would be someone who truly cared about Huo Xuan in the Huo family in Beijing.
