Chapter 40 - The Mysterious Young Master of the Huo Family

Chapter 40 The Mysterious Young Master of the Huo Family

“Haven’t you always hated the Huo Family?” Qin Yu didn’t know the Huo family very well. He had also always thought that Zhao Jinxing hated them even more. After all, she was almost forced to marry into their family.

“I was actually willing to marry into the Huo family as per the marriage arrangement. Zhenting Group was my grandfather’s life’s work. Even though the young master of the Huo family was crippled, I was still willing to marry him.”

The problem was that Zhao Jinxiu had proposed a deal and said that she would marry in Zhao Jinxing’s place, but she went back on her word after receiving the shares. This was what made Zhao Jinxing so unhappy!

Qin Yu’s body stiffened. For the sake of Zhenting Group, she would even marry a cripple? Then, was she with him only to protect Zhenting Group? “Oh right, Qin Yu, can you help me find someone to edit this video, and focus on what Zhao Jinxiu said?”

Qin Yu didn’t respond. Zhao Jinxiu turned around and saw Qin Yu sitting there in a daze. She went over and waved in front of him. “Qin Yu, Qin Yu?”

“Huh? What did you say?” Qin Yu came back to his senses.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Jinxing looked at him worriedly. “Are you tired?”

“I’m fine.” The corners of Qin Yu’s mouth twitched. “What do you want me to do for

you?”

Seeing his calm expression, Zhao Jinxing didn’t think too much about it and continued on with what she was talking about earlier. “I said, can you get someone to edit the video again and focus on magnifying this part?'”

Zhao Jinxing showed the part of the video where Zhao Jinxiu spoke. “This is the part where the Huo family was mentioned.”

Qin Yu glanced at it and frowned slightly. “You want to get the Huo family’s attention so that they will pressure Zhao Hong to deal with Zhao Jinxiu?”

“Mhm!” Zhao Jinxing raised her chin proudly.

“Zhao Jinxiu kept saying that she was marrying into the Huo family for me, and that it was so unfair for her. If the Huo family hears about this, how would they feel seeing their child being publicly despised?”

“Moreover, Zhao Jinxiu has Zhenting Group shares. This is irrefutable evidence. Anyone with a discerning eye can see why she was willing to compromise. Since Zhao Jinxiu took advantage of the Huo family’s pain for her own benefit, she should suffer the consequences of being found out by the Huo Family!”

Qin Yu pondered for a moment. “The Huo family is not an ordinary family. If we look for someone to edit the video again, people will know it was us. When that happens, we will only invite trouble.”

Zhao Jinxing did not know the Huo family well, but she had heard many rumors about them on various occasions over the years.

It was said that the young master was originally the most favored heir of the Huo family, and that the car accident was done by someone who worked for the the Huo family. Later, when the murderer was found, the man’s limbs were broken and he was thrown into the deep sea as fish food. Not even his bones were left and even his family was not spared.

The young master of the Huo family lived in seclusion from then on. No one had ever seen him again. Occasionally, there were rumors that he had become violent and killed many of the servants who served him.

It was precisely because of these rumors that Zhuang Zhenting had been reluctant to let his granddaughter marry him. He even risked his reputation to break off the engagement with the Huo family. However, Zhao Hong had suggested that Zhao Jinxiu could replace her, and Zhao Jinxiu also repeatedly said that she was willing to sacrifice her love life for Zhenting Group. Zhuang Zhenting thought it over and over again before finally agreeing. He had even taken the initiative to offer Zhao Jinxiu the shares of the group as compensation. “So we’re just going to let it go like this?” Zhao Jinxing was a little unwilling. Qin Yu rubbed her head.

“Of course not.” He changed his tone, “But Mrs. Qin, there’s something I want to ask you as well.” “What… do you think of me?”
