Chapter 19: 18. She is the woman favored by the Huo Family father and son.
...15 minutes later...
In the Huo Family living room, a bruised Huo Feng slumped on the sofa, like a wounded dog licking its wounds, holding an ice pack on his bruised nose.
So vicious.
Huo Feng thought his dad was truly vicious! Really damn vicious!
It was bad enough that he ambushed him, but to see his nose bleeding and still chase him around the house with his shoe off was too much!
That was over the top!
At that moment, Huo Mingshan sat opposite Huo Feng, arms crossed, acting all high and mighty like an old patriarch.
His anger hadn’t subsided, no, it hadn’t even been unleashed. If not for his physical limits, Huo Mingshan could have fought Huo Feng for another two hundred rounds, teaching that kid a lesson until he was rolling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy!
"One cup of tea each to cool down."
Shen Yu carried two cups of plain water from the kitchen, setting one in front of each of them, then comfortably seated herself next to Huo Mingshan, clearly taking sides.
It was mostly like this in the Huo Family.
As long as Huo Mingshan was there, Huo Feng was the outcast, and he was used to it!
"Mom, you can’t be biased this time. You saw Dad hitting me, my nose was bleeding. Come here, sit next to me."
Huo Feng spoke first, seizing the initiative.
In this household of three, Shen Yu’s stance was crucial!
Because, in this gamble between father and son, generally speaking, whoever Shen Yu supported tended to have the upper hand.
Even if Huo Feng had lost to his dad thousands of times, he still had to try!
You have to fight to win at least once!
Shen Yu coughed slightly, showing no intention of moving, and gently replied, "Your dad has his reasons for hitting you."
Huo Feng: "I... Damn!"
Are these parents redeemable? Why keep them around? Can he sever ties with them?
"Do you know what trouble this damn kid has caused me?"
With Shen Yu’s support, Huo Mingshan immediately began pointing at Huo Feng, berating him fiercely.
This week, Huo Feng harassing his favorite student, Huo Feng tearing off his toupee, Huo Feng causing him to be mocked by ten good-for-nothing brats...Such reprehensible acts enraged Huo Mingshan so much he wanted to chop Huo Feng with a kitchen knife!
"Huo Feng! Tell me, do I have the right to hit you today? Are you or are you not behaving ridiculously?"
The more Huo Mingshan spoke, the angrier he grew, his finger pointing at Huo Feng shook with fury, "How did I ever father such an evil creature! Worthless, always fooling around! One day you’ll be the death of your old man!"
"All right, all right, Old Huo, calm down."
Seeing Huo Mingshan gasping from anger, Shen Yu quickly went to pat his chest and then started scolding Huo Feng as well, "Xiaofeng, you really did wrong this time. You know your dad’s toupee is a sore spot for him, how could you expose his weakness in front of others?"
Huo Mingshan continued furiously, "He just wants to infuriate me to death!"
Shen Yu rushed to placate him, "Alright, Old Huo, don’t be angry. Let’s just punish him a bit, make him do our dishes and laundry."
Huo Feng: "..."
Across from him, Huo Feng was rendered speechless by the formidable spousal team blocking him.
He trusted that they would take it upon themselves to assign him a pile of slave labor.
Of course, there was no escape for Huo Feng.
For over a decade, he had never succeeded once.
Huo Mingshan was soothed by Shen Yu for a while, finally feeling somewhat calmer.
After calming down, Huo Mingshan sternly warned Huo Feng, "Huo Feng, listen up. I can turn a blind eye to your shenanigans at school, and if you want to degrade yourself, if you want to be notorious throughout the school as a villain, that’s your business. But as for my students, don’t even think about touching them! Especially Pu Sangzhi, stay far away from her!"
Huo Feng could accept any blame and could handle all the household chores, but this was something he just couldn’t agree to, even if it meant uninstalling League of Legends!
"No way!" Huo Feng refused.
Huo Mingshan’s anger, which was about to subside, suddenly flared up again, "Say that again!"
This time, Huo Feng was resolute, "No means no. I’ve taken a liking to her, and if I don’t pursue her now, I won’t even know where to queue up when she starts having thoughts about it later! Right now, even if I can’t win her over, I need to make my presence felt!"
"You! You little brat! Daring to aspire for the moon! Are you asking for a beating, you..."
Huo Mingshan stood up in anger, ready to pounce on Huo Feng, but Shen Yu stopped him with a quick reach, "Old Huo, come on, you’re not so young anymore, why can’t you stay calm? It’s just a few words from the youngster, and you’re this provoked."
"Listen to what he’s saying!"
Huo Mingshan pointed directly at Huo Feng, his gaze stern, "Huo Feng, I warn you, do whatever you want, just don’t involve Pu Sangzhi! Her background isn’t what you think, and she isn’t as free as you are. She can’t afford to take the wrong path! Moreover, she isn’t as lucky as you, without an unlucky parent like me to clean up after her, so stay away from her! If you lead her astray, I’ll make sure you don’t even get to high school!"
His words reverberated throughout the living room, and for half a minute, the room was as silent as a tomb, so quiet that it seemed one could hear a pin drop.
Both Shen Yu and Huo Feng realized that Huo Mingshan’s anger was serious.
And the reason he was so furious with Huo Feng wasn’t solely because Huo Feng had lifted his toupee, but more so because Huo Feng was messing with his student – a student on whom he had invested a great deal of effort! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Did you hear that?"
Seeing Huo Feng not responding, Huo Mingshan shouted angrily again.
Only then did Huo Feng weakly reply, "Oh... that’s weird!"
Huo Feng hadn’t expected his father to be so responsible towards Pu Sangzhi. This gave Huo Feng a new perspective on his dad.
However, even so, Huo Feng was still not going to give up on Pu Sangzhi!
Not even the stringent admissions of Tsinghua had deterred Huo Feng, so how could his father’s minor threats possibly scare him?
At most, at most... it would make Huo Feng switch from openly pursuing her to secretly chasing her low-key,
which was giving some respect to his father!
"Alright, Old Huo. The boy has agreed; now calm down," Shen Yu said.
Shen Yu patted Huo Mingshan’s chest and gently pulled him back to sit down on the sofa.
"You, you are indeed responsible for your students, which is correct. But you also need to take care of your own health. Don’t overwork your brain. What if you go balder?"
Shen Yu patted Huo Mingshan’s shoulder, then turned to Huo Feng, "Xiaofeng, you too, there needs to be a limit to how much you fool around. Your dad talks about Pu Sangzhi all the time at home. He values that girl so much; why do you insist on provoking him? Do you really need to scratch the lion’s mane?"
Huo Feng stopped talking.
Similarly, Huo Mingshan had nothing more to say.
Shen Yu, having been a mediator for half a lifetime, had truly honed his skills in appeasing the two.
"Actually, think of it this way, both you and your dad care so much about Pu Sangzhi could make her feel quite fortunate, right?" Shen Yu said.
Huo Feng: "No!" Being valued by Old Huo means being hijacked by academics!
Huo Mingshan: "No!" Being pursued by that kid Huo Feng will lead to her downfall!
At that moment, the father and son showed unusual agreement.
Shen Yu was left speechless.
