Overlord, he played off

Huo Kaixuan?

After Mrs. Huo finished speaking, Huo Kun subconsciously looked at Mrs. Huo. His reaction was not abrupt, because all the brothers and sisters present acted like this.

"Old lady!"

"Why give it to Lao Qi?"

"Why!"

"It's him again!"

The candidate for the heir was Huo Kaixuan, and now it was Huo Kaixuan who held the birthday party for Mrs. Huo. Why did Huo Kaixuan take up all the good things, and the illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters inevitably felt dissatisfied and clamored to protest.

Mrs. Huo's decision would not be changed because of the dissatisfaction of these people. She twirled the Buddhist beads and said in a soft and slow voice: "Okay, the matter is settled like this."

Once Mrs. Huo said this, no one dared to refute. The illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters glanced at each other, then looked at Huo Kaixuan with jealous eyes, and did not dare to speak out again.

"Your father is still recuperating, so you won't be left to eat. If you have something to do, go get busy."

The illegitimate children responded sparsely, "...yes."

Seeing that everyone else had left, Huo Kun was also about to leave, the old lady said to keep Huo Kun, "Huo Kun, you stay."

Mrs. Huo stood up and said, "Come with me."

Huo Kun followed the old lady to the study room, the old lady asked some work matters, and gave some precautions, at the end, he looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and it was time for dinner.

It is not good to let Huo Kun leave at this time, so he said: "Let's stay and have dinner before leaving, and talk to your father."

"Ah."

The Huo family's dining table is a long western-style table, and the Huo family has a lot of rules. Huo Kun knows the arrangement of the seats at a glance. The first person is Huo Zhenlin, and the bottom one is Mrs. Huo and the previous Huo Junhao. , Yu Hanyan.

Now that Huo Junhao passed away, Huo Kun replaced Huo Junhao as the heir of the Huo family, and the seat below Mrs. Huo should become Huo Kun.

But Huo Kun took a look at that seat and felt conflicted in his heart. He is an outsider, so it is not suitable for him to sit there.

Mrs. Huo was already seated, Huo Zhenlin was pushed out by the servant, and Yu Hanyan also walked over.

Huo Kun whispered something to the butler beside him. The butler was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Mrs. Huo Zhenlin, and then added a set of tableware to the seat where Yu Hanyan started.

This movement caused Mrs. Huo to take another look. Her shrewd gaze swept across Huo Kun's face. Her cloudy eyes made it difficult to distinguish the complex expression in her eyes. She retracted her gaze and looked at Huo Junhao's original seat , the sadness in his eyes flashed away.

Huo Zhenlin was pushed to the dining table by the servant, looked at the vacant seat and then at Huo Kun, pursed his lips and said nothing, but the atmosphere at the dining table was not relaxed, it was not a place conducive to eating. atmosphere.

"Okay, let's have dinner."

The two old men present chose to indulge Huo Kun's behavior by default, without paying any attention.

After dinner, Huo Kun followed Huo Zhenlin to Huo Zhenlin's room to talk, while Yu Hanyan was taken by the old woman to the small Buddhist hall at home.

The atmosphere in this house is really gloomy and solemn. Both Huo Zhenlin and the old lady don’t talk much. The number of times Huo Kun met Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhenlin can be counted on one’s fingers. Follow the rules and hardly talk.The house is so quiet that Huo Kun doesn't know what it's like for his sister-in-law in her early 30s to live in such a house with these two depressed old people... Maybe he can actually get a clue from his sister-in-law, The black, white and gray colors that appear on her body all the year round make her look like a person living in the silent film era, so dull and suffocating.

After talking with Huo Zhenlin, Huo Kun came out of Huo Zhenlin's room. It was getting late and he didn't want to stay in the old house, so he said goodbye to the two old people and prepared to leave.

When Huo Kun walked into the courtyard of the old house, he saw someone in the courtyard. After walking forward, he saw that it was Yu Hanyan standing in the corner watching the servants move things.She was dressed in black, and stood quietly in the corner, almost blending into the night, if it wasn't for the scarlet point of the lit cigarette in her hand blinking too much in the night, Huo Kun might not have been able to spot her.

When Huo Kun saw Yu Hanyan, he couldn't help but walk up to say hello.

"Sister Hanyan."

"Leaving?" Yu Hanyan's voice was a little hoarse because of smoking, the thin lady's cigarette in her hand was held by two slender fingers, and the smoke was lingering between her breaths, and her delicate face was hidden behind the smoke, only faintly. After glancing at Huo Kun, his eyes continued to fall on the servant in the distance.

"Well, I'm about to leave," Huo Kun said, following Yu Hanyan's gaze, and asked, "Why do you pack your clothes at night?"

I saw the servants packing some brightly colored clothes that obviously belonged to women and putting them into large cardboard boxes.

Yu Hanyan raised her hand and took another puff of the cigarette, letting the smoke linger in her mouth for a while before spitting it out, and then she slowly said, "Clean up early, stop early."

stop early...

What stops early and who stops early?

Huo Kun didn't ask, but a figure appeared in his mind.

... Mrs. Huo...

Mrs. Huo is a very disciplined person, Huo Kun has known for a long time, and as Huo Kun got more in touch with the Huo family, he also understands how "heavy" Mrs. Huo's "heavy" rules are.

It has been more than ten months since Huo Junhao passed away, and it should be a full year in terms of the time for keeping filial piety in ancient times.

Huo Kun has never seen the Huo family before, but in the two months since Huo Kun returned to Huo's house, he has never seen a single red thing in the old house.

Everyone in the Huo family is dressed in black, white and gray, mainly in black and white, from Yu Hanyan, the old lady of Huo Zhenlin, down to the housekeeper and servants.

There are many decorations in the Huo family, most of which are works of art or antiques, but whether it is sculptures, vases, ornaments or even calligraphy and paintings, Huo Kun has not seen a trace of red, not even the books on the walls of Huo's study. One has a red cover.

The color red and its similar colors are the colors that disappeared from the Huo family.

Huo Kun thought of the old lady's embarrassment in front of Yu Hanyan two days ago because of the red diamond on Yu Hanyan's neck and the red sole of the black leather shoes on his feet.

Mrs. Huo couldn't let go of Huo Junhao's death more than outsiders thought... She even wanted the whole Huo family to 'keep filial piety' for Huo Junhao, from the elders to the brothers and sisters.

The topic is meaningless at this point. Huo Kun didn't want to follow this topic and was about to bid farewell to leave, but he stopped when he remembered something. He hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Does the family know about Huo Kaijie's disappearance?"

Yu Hanyan paused when she heard the words, and after a while, she let out a sigh of relief, "No one pointed it out, they just don't know."

The implication is that they know it, but no one has pointed it out.

Yu Hanyan snuffed out the cigarette in his hand on the ashtray, "Smart people turn a blind eye."

These words seemed to be beating Huo Kun.

Huo Kun pursed his lips and didn't continue the topic, but suddenly said, "Why did the old lady leave the birthday party to Huo Kaixuan?"

Yu Hanyan smiled and said: "Since he is qualified to be a candidate for the heir, of course he has outstanding qualities that other brothers can't match. Is it strange to entrust the matter to him?"

Huo Kun frowned, knowing that Yu Hanyan was avoiding answering on purpose, but he didn't want to stop there, "Sister Hanyan, you know that's not what I asked, since I've already asked, why do you bother to take these things?" Fool me."

Yu Hanyan stopped smiling, she turned around and looked at Huo Kun with a serious expression, "Even if I tell you what you want to know, what can you do?"

"How deep is the Huo family's pond, you don't want to know."

"It's none of your business," Yu Hanyan knew that her words might not scare Huo Kun, so she warned again, "Don't do too much, don't think too much, you are safe."

The conversation ended without a problem, and Huo Kun left Huo's house.

Yu Hanyan stood in the yard, watching the servant put his last few bright clothes into a cardboard box, send them out, and burn them.

Yu Hanyan stood where he was, with his expression unchanged. When the last piece of clothing was burned and the fire in the yard next door stopped, Yu Hanyan raised his head to look at the night sky.

The moon was covered by layers of dark clouds, and only a little light leaked from the gaps in the dark clouds, but soon a strong wind blew, and the thicker clouds completely blocked the moonlight, so there was no more moonlight.

Yu Hanyan lowered her head, turned around and looked at the old house.

He hid in the dark night, like a giant man-eating beast.

Yu Hanyan squinted her eyes, showing no sign of timidity, the sharp light and vigor in her eyes made her look as if she had the courage to slaughter fierce beasts.

Yu Hanyan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, the expression in those eyes became dead and smooth again. She pushed open the door of the living room and walked in slowly.

Huo Kun came out of Huo's house and came directly to Jiang Xuecheng's residence. Seeing Jiang Xuecheng reading a book in the living room, his heart felt warm. He took off his coat, took off his tie and threw it on the sofa, hugged Jiang Xuecheng's waist and sat beside him, rubbing against Jiang Xuecheng. "Brother, why haven't you slept yet? Are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Xuecheng took the book and patted Huo Kun's head, "You smell like cigarettes, are you smoking?"

Huo Kun hugged Jiang Xuecheng's waist and smiled lowly, "Compared to me, brother is more addicted to cigarettes, right?"

Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows, "Don't learn well."

Jiang Xuecheng should have bathed, and there is still a fresh scent of shower gel on his body. Huo Kun hugged Jiang Xuecheng and took a deep breath, as if satisfied, and said slowly, "I don't smoke, I accidentally contaminated someone else's."

Huo Kun seemed a little tired, his voice was a little low, and he told Jiang Xuecheng about the Huo family.

Mentioning the old lady's harshness towards Yu Hanyan, although Jiang Xuecheng was a little awkward, he still said: "She is the eldest lady of the Yu family. Although the Yu family is not as popular as the Huo family, it is not enough for my daughter to be so cruel to the Huo family." compare notes."

Huo Kun also felt strange, "Maybe the Yu family has something in Mrs. Huo's hands?"

"Perhaps, there is something wrong with Yu Hanyan enduring Mrs. Huo's torture like this, but," Jiang Xuecheng changed the subject, and said, "The important thing now is Huo Kaixuan."

"Why is it just Huo Kaixuan?" Jiang Xuecheng frowned slightly in thought. Although Huo Kaixuan's ability was superior to the other brothers, it seemed reasonable for the old lady to choose Huo Kaixuan, but Jiang Xuecheng always felt that something was wrong.

Is Huo Kaixuan the mastermind behind the scenes, or... the next victim?

Huo Kun understood Jiang Xuecheng's worries, and he also thought of some things. Huo Kaize and Huo Kaijie had accidents one after another, and now Huo Kaixuan was pushed to the spotlight again, which inevitably made people think too much.

Huo Kun said: "I tested my sister-in-law, but she didn't give me a clear answer, but she obviously knew about it and hinted that I should not interfere with it."

Jiang Xuecheng always had an ominous premonition in his heart, the water in Huo's house was too deep, Huo Kun was new here, and he still knew too little.

Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was worried, Huo Kun patted Jiang Xuecheng's hand, "Don't worry brother, since sister-in-law said not to interfere in this matter, it's fine, we'll wait and see."

Jiang Xuecheng squinted at him, "Is that why you trust her?"

"I trust my intuition," Huo Kun chuckled, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law is not that simple."
