Chapter 450 House Arrest and Engagement
Huo Yichen's house arrest added a lot of difficulty to the plan of the four.
And their self-righteous hidden meeting has long since fallen into the hands of the steward, and he has reported every route to Huo Yichen.
"As expected." Huo Yichen nodded.
At this moment, he was sitting by the side flipping through the books on a shelf at random, but a certain page in his hand had not been turned for a long time, but he had a long chat with the butler next to him.
The time under house arrest was very boring, not to mention that Huo Hong didn't intend to make him feel better at all, and almost deprived him of all entertainment activities, even including the courses he paid attention to before.
"I should be worried if the four of them don't get together."
Huo Yichen commented so.
Things that can happen as expected can be controlled.
The sound of cars approaching from far and near sounded outside, it was time for Huo Hong to come back from get off work.
The majestic footsteps sounded from the door, followed by the butler's respectful welcome, all of which were clearly heard by Huo Yichen.
Until his door was pushed open without warning.
As soon as Huo Yichen raised his eyes, he met Huo Hong's sharp eyes, and was examined by the other party from beginning to end.
"Father." Huo Yichen stood up and shouted respectfully.
Now is not the time to turn your face.
Huo Hong had no expression on his face, he just stared at him for a while, and when his eyes finally fell on the book in Huo Yichen's hands, he suddenly frowned again.
"I will arrange a new class for you starting tomorrow." Huo Hong suddenly mentioned.
He glanced suspiciously at Huo Yichen. Although he didn't get any clues that the other party sneaked out, since the last incident, Huo Hong's trust in Huo Yichen has dropped to the bottom.
He didn't believe that with Huo Yichen's character, he would really stay at home honestly and do nothing.
"Naturally listen to father's arrangement." Huo Yichen nodded and agreed.
Respectfully, I can't find a single problem.
But the more Huo Yichen behaved so flawlessly, the more suspicious Huo Hong became.
Suspicion is like a crack in a stone, as long as it exists, it will be difficult to get back to the past, let alone someone like Huo Hong.
It's just that after this matter was finished, Huo Hong stood motionless in front of Huo Yichen, as if there was more to come.
"I will invite Murong's family to discuss the engagement in a few days." Huo Hong raised the point.
As long as Huo Hong said what he said, it was basically fixed and there was no room for change.
It seems that when talking about this matter, Huo Hong's solemn face had a little more smile, and he seemed much more kind.
A businessman puts profit first, if he had known that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao still had this relationship, Huo Hong would have a thousand calculations to make.
Huo Yichen naturally responded, "...I will not let my father down."
What Huo Hong wanted and what he wanted to see was always just a result.
This marriage must be finalized, even according to Huo Hong's greed, marriage can be put on the agenda.
"Prepare well." Huo Hong turned and left after finishing his sentence.
He didn't say when he came here, nor did he say that it was the appointment from Murong's family, but he made it clear that Huo Hong should always be ready.
Combined with the courses, now Huo Yichen is really under house arrest.
Even that night, Huo Yichen learned from the housekeeper that the number of guards near Huo's house had increased a lot, which almost perfectly prevented the possibility of him going out.
Murong Qiao also learned about this after talking with Huo Yichen on the phone.
At the moment she is still in Murong's house, lying on her big soft bed, and knowing that Huo Yichen is completely under house arrest, she gets up directly to find her elder brother Murong Chen who works in the study.
Murong Chen looked at Murong Qiao standing at the door, and seeing that it was his younger sister, he took his attention away from the document and concentrated on looking at the person in front of him.
He glanced at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the evening.
Murong Qiao stepped on slippers and pushed the door in, pulled out the chair beside the desk and sat beside him. After being looked for by his sister a few times before, Murong Chen simply prepared an extra chair and put it here to save the tiredness of standing.
Murong Chen stretched out his hand and pinched the area between his eyebrows, "You came just in time, and you have something to say."
Today Huo Hong called him, but his attitude was completely different from before. Murong Chen could also tell from the other party's tone that Huo Hong probably knew about Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
"I may go to Huo's house with me in two days."
Hearing what elder brother said, Murong Qiao looked up. "Go again?"
"He really can't sit still." She sighed.
After speaking with Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao naturally knew that their affairs had been exposed.
It's just that this time is much faster than she expected. After learning that Huo Xiuyuan did it, Murong Qiao thought of what happened at the banquet that day, and she didn't feel very surprised for a while.
Murong Chen looked at his younger sister. "It's okay, whether you want to get engaged or not is up to you to decide."
"Huo Hong leave it to me." He just looked at his sister fixedly.
From the very beginning when he found out about his younger sister and Huo Yichen's relationship, Murong Chen also expected the current scene in his heart.
But he always believes that his sister is not a tool for the exchange of interests.
"As long as you don't want to, no one can force you to make any decision." Murong Chen promised.
Even if he didn't know what else Huo Hong could do to wait, Murong Chen still said the same.
Even if the scene is really ugly, there are ways to make it up, but Murong Qiao cannot be wronged.
Murong Qiao was taken aback, then smiled. "Why are you so serious all of a sudden, you startle me?"
She was warmed by Murong Chen's words, but she was naturally unwilling to make things difficult for her brother.
People who I hated from the first time we met, are full of interests. Murong Qiao can't like Huo Hong at all.
And that whistleblower Huo Xiuyuan are not good people.
After Huo Hong noticed the relationship between the two, his vigilance was almost full.
He didn't even confirm the time agreed with Murong's family, it might be because he thought that Murong Qiao would send news to Huo Yichen.
It seems that Huo Hong has all the initiative in this matter. If you don't want to make the scene too ugly, you can only wait for his next words.
Similarly, Huo Xiuyuan also learned about inviting Murong's family.
Thinking that if Huo Yichen gained the power of Murong's family, he would be even more prosperous, Huo Xiuyuan couldn't sit still immediately, and knocked on the door of Huo Hong's office at the risk of being scolded.
"You don't focus on the project to work, what do you come to me for?" Huo Hong opened his mouth and had a bad tone.
His face showed fatigue, and the whole person sitting there looked a little old.
After he returned to the company to deal with affairs these days, he realized that he was not as good as before.
In the past, he didn't pay attention to those things that piled up like a mountain at all, but now he just dealt with a part of them, his eyes are already dry, and his whole body is also a lot tired.
From this he had to realize the fact that he was really old.
Huo Xiuyuan turned around when he was about to ask impulsively, "I—want to see you."
He wanted to ask Huo Hong if he had made up his mind to marry Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen. It can be seen that Huo Hong is not in good condition now, and if he adds fuel to the fire, he will definitely suffer in the end.
Huo Hong looked at Huo Xiuyuan, whom he had carefully cultivated, and couldn't help comparing him with Huo Yichen every time.
But the more you compare, the more you think Huo Xiuyuan is inferior.
"If you can have half of Huo Yichen's ability..."
He suddenly sighed.
