Chapter 1181: Chapter 1180: Going for a Walk

“My grandson is doing great.” Huo Zhenchuan had been furious with Huo Kewei, but now, with an even worse grandnephew to compare him to, Huo Kewei suddenly seemed much more appealing.

Huo Kewei, shivering upstairs, wore an innocent expression. How was this any of his business? He hadn’t done anything! How had he started causing trouble everywhere?

If you two want to argue, just argue, but why drag him into it?

Huo Beijiang adjusted his collar nonchalantly and glanced at Huo Kewei, saying irritably, “What are you shrinking upstairs for? Acting like a thief?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhenchuan also glared at him.

Huo Kewei immediately came down from upstairs, dejected, realizing he had absolutely no standing in the family.

“Where’s Grandma? I want to eat the braised pork ribs she makes!” Huo Kewei, feeling bullied yet unable to voice his anger, could only seek out his grandmother, who doted on him the most.

“She’s busy at school and hasn’t come back yet. You think she’s like you, with nothing to do all day? She’s a university professor,” Huo Zhenchuan said, his tone carrying a hint of pride by the end.

Huo Kewei felt sour, “How am I idle? I’m busy making money tomorrow.”

“Yes, you’re busy making money, but may I ask where is your money? Who have you been spending it on?”

“I have so much money, I can’t even count it all…”

“Well, I’ve never spent a penny of your money.”

Huo Beijiang spread his hands, “Neither have I spent a penny of yours.”

“Uncle, you’re too heartless. Back in the provincial city, you even grabbed a mobile phone from me.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a look from Huo Beijiang that said, “Are you really being so stingy? That wasn’t stealing; that was just giving you face.”

“You, uncle, are even going to marry into someone’s family and become their son-in-law. Yet here you are, a grandnephew, daring to claim you’ve made a lot of money?” Huo Beijiang had just finished when he saw Jiang Yang stand up suddenly, his expression changing slightly as he quickly walked over.

Despite seeming careless, he was actually always secretly keeping an eye on Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang stood under the eaves, his small hand clenched tightly by his side, eyes unwavering as they stared into the dark night. His nerves were tightly wound, his breathing unconsciously grew heavier.

Clearly, he was on high alert.

Huo Beijiang walked up to Jiang Yang, placing his large hand firmly on his shoulder, the warmth from his palm instantly soothing Jiang Yang’s high-strung nerves.

“Don’t worry, here, no one can touch you,” Huo Beijiang’s voice was firm, immediately giving a sense of security.

Jiang Yang’s body slowly relaxed, he blinked his dense eyelashes, and leaned half his body against Huo Beijiang.

At this time, Huo Zhenchuan and Huo Kewei also came out, both looking serious. Huo Kewei glanced at Huo Beijiang and, receiving a signal from his eyes, quickly walked down the stairs. But he had barely descended three steps when a familiar figure emerged from the darkness.

“Minister Wei? What brings you here?” Huo Kewei, utterly surprised, even doubted whether he was seeing things.

“I…,” Wei Fangyi glanced at Jiang Yang, “I just had dinner and was strolling around with nothing to do.”

That kind of excuse, only a fool would believe.

Wei Fangyi, whether in terms of position or authority, was the top person in this compound, always busy running countless tasks, and wherever he went, his security was the tightest. How could he just be wandering around? And even if he were, he surely wouldn’t wander into someone else’s yard.
