Guide the Villain Father to Be Virtuous - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Villain Father (1)

In the end, Huo Xiaoxiao didn’t go to Yi Qian’s birthday.

After all, she didn’t promise that she would go over the phone, so there was no breach of appointment.

The reason for not going was simple. After Yi Qian called her, Old Master Huo looked at her with a smile on his face and asked her, “Did Xiaoxiao make some new friends?”

She thought about it seriously. They had only met for one day, and the end of their meeting was not very pleasant. Hence, she should not be regarded as a friend, right?

“Why did the little master of the Yi family call you?”

“He… invited me to his birthday.”

“Do you want to go?”

Although these little kids had a good face, they were naive and ignorant. They probably would cry after being teased. ‘It’s not fun at all!’

She shook her head.

‘It’s annoying, I don’t want to go.’

Old Master Huo didn’t force Huo Xiaoxiao when he saw that she wasn’t pleased about going. “Alright. If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Let’s talk about something else.”

Huo Xiao was stunned.

‘Oh no! Here it comes!’

She knew this day would come sooner or later. She just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Aren’t you supposed to send kids to kindergarten when they were three years old? Why did she go to kindergarten when she was only two years old?

“Kindergarten?”

“Yes. Don’t you always want to go out to play? There are many children in the kindergarten you can play with…” Before the words were finished, Old Master Huo noticed Huo Xiaoxiao’s drooping face. “In fact, Grandpa is reluctant to let you go to kindergarten. I can’t wait for you to stay with Grandpa every day, but it’s your father who wants to send you. Grandpa can’t stop him,” Old Master Huo calmly explained to her.

“Daddy?”

“Yes, your daddy, that man, the arm-flinging shopkeeper who only knows to be busy with his own affairs all day. But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to go, Grandpa and your father will discuss it again.”

Huo Xiaoxiao nodded her head.

When Huo Suichen came back the next night, his face was not as relaxed as usual. After having dinner in the dining hall, Old Master Huo especially went to his study.

His desk was full of documents, and Huo Suicheng’s eyebrows were frowning as he flipped through them.

Old Master Huo leaned on his cane and glanced at the papers scattered on the desk. “You have been leaving early and coming home late recently. You seem to have a lot of trouble. What happened?”

Huo Suicheng frowned, put down the documents in his hand, and rubbed his eyebrows. “I am afraid that the Luming Mountain project will be stopped for a while.”

“What’s wrong?”

Huo Suicheng got up and handed a document to his father. “Dug something out. I have to wait for the relevant department to send experts to check it out.”

“Ancient tomb?”

Huo Suicheng lowered his eyebrows.

Old Master Huo flipped through the file and frowned. It was obviously beyond his expectation. “Didn’t you survey the area before? How did you suddenly find an ancient tomb?”

Huo Suicheng sighed. “It was too deep. We didn’t go that deep before.”

Developing this kind of thing was the most taboo matter.

Take Xi’an as an example. It used to be the capital of the 13th Dynasty, with ancient tombs everywhere. It was not uncommon to discover a tomb while digging a subway line, but as long as cultural relics were excavated, the construction must stop.

If he was lucky, he would have to wait for the archaeological expert group to excavate and safeguard it. He could then continue the project, usually one or two years later. However, if his luck was bad and the tomb could not be excavated and could only be protected, then he would have to drop this project.

Luming Mountain was near the sea. Who would have thought that an ancient tomb was buried under it?

Old Master Huo glanced over and saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed; there was a fierceness in his gaze. Guessing his thoughts, he coldly said, “Use your brain first before acting. Think about it, how many people are staring at you now because of this? Stop this project according to regulations. Huo Group will not go bankrupt.”

“I have my own plans regarding this matter, so don’t worry about it.”

Old Master Huo’s wrinkles deepened between his brows, “Do you know the term discretion? After being honest for a few days, you want to make trouble again?”
