“Butler, quickly arrange seats. Have them sit over here.”

The butler brought chairs. “Have a seat, all four of you.”

Su Bei could tell from Old Master Huo’s condition and eyes that he was not doing as well as he was in the hospital that day. He was like a candle in the wind, and his life was weak.

Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong could also tell. The two of them stopped smiling and sat down quietly.

“It’s good that you’re here. I’m sure you all know that the Huo family is in chaos now. My old bones… My old bones don’t have much time left. I can’t care about so many things,” Old Master Huo said.

Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong didn’t grow up in the Huo family, so they couldn’t empathize with him and just listened calmly.

“Huo Zhong, Weijian, I’m sorry about what happened to your father.” Old Master Huo choked.

Lu Weijian didn’t say anything. Of course, the old master should feel sorry. When Huo Ye got married, he had a child outside. Old Master Huo indulged Huo Ye and caused Lu Yaolan to have a mental breakdown. After giving birth to Lu Weijian, she had to go abroad to recuperate because of depression.

It could be said that Old Master Huo deserved what he was going through today.

However, from Old Master Huo’s point of view, it was not wrong for him to dote on his son… His fault lay in the fact that his doting to his son had caused his two grandsons to be distant from him. This was karma and retribution.

Huo Zhong also sat quietly with his eyes lowered.

They came because Old Master Huo had more or less taken care of them in the past. They did not have a close relationship with him because they had not interacted much since they were young.

Old Master Huo sighed and said, “Although the Huo family has fallen apart now, I’ve worked hard for this family business for many years. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what, we’re still a wealthy family. Besides, there are many employees who have followed me for their entire lives. If I really leave, this huge family business and so many loyal employees will have no one to rely on. From then on, they’ll really be left to fend for themselves.”

His words were heartfelt and touching.

Su Bei couldn’t stand seeing the old man like this. Her eyes turned slightly red. Lu Heting reached out and covered the back of her hand with his.

Feeling the warmth, Su Bei looked up at him and interlocked her fingers with his.

Old Master Huo coughed a few times. The butler hurried forward to pat his back to help him relax. Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong were also a little moved, but they didn’t go forward.

He said again, “Huo Zhong, Weijian, I want you to take care of the huge Huo family…”

Lu Weijian jumped to his feet and waved his hand. “No, no, I can’t. Grandpa, find another person for the task. Huo Zhong can definitely do it. I’ll pass.”

Besides, he had his own career now. He had to sneakily take time off from his schedule just to visit the Huo family’s residence today.

If Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu knew that he was here, they would probably break his legs!

Old Master Lu’s temper back then was so bad that he didn’t even want him to have the surname Huo, so how could he let him inherit the Huo family’s business?!

Huo Zhong also looked gloomy. “Lu Weijian, what do you mean? If you refuse, so be it. Why are you pushing the responsibility to me? Let me tell you, don’t think about dragging me down with you. I won’t get involved in this!”

“Isn’t your surname Huo? Why can’t you do it? If you can’t, why do you still have the surname Huo?” Lu Weijian was persistent.

“So what if my surname is Huo? There are many people with the surname Huo in the world. I’m not the only one. Can you prove that I’m the only Huo?”

“Your surname is Huo anyway. Everything in the Huo family has nothing to do with me! Even if Grandpa can’t get you to be the one who manages the company, he can’t get me to be that person either!”

“Are you not from the Huo family just because your surname is Lu? You’re also a son of the Huo family!”

“Huo Zhong, do you believe that I’ll beat you up?”

“Come on, then. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Lu Weijian stepped forward and grabbed Huo Zhong’s collar, and Huo Zhong also grabbed his collar. The two of them were about to fight.

Old Master Huo was furious, but he didn’t have the strength to stop them. He was so angry that he started coughing violently.

The butler hurriedly went forward to support him and advised, “Mr. Weijian, Mr. Zhong! Calm down!”

The two young masters were both in a fit of anger. How could they calm down?

Lu Weijian thought about the pain his mother had suffered when she gave birth to him. How could he listen to all this now?

Huo Zhong was sent to the United States by his father, Huo Ye. Huo Ye had never cared about him and his mother again after that. Although he looked carefree on the outside, just thinking about it was depressing enough. How could he have any feelings for the Huo family?

The two of them fought back and forth, not giving in at all.

Old Master Huo’s old and weak voice shouted, “Weijian, Huo Zhong!”

It would have been fine if he hadn’t shouted, but this shout agitated the two young masters even more.

Su Bei had seen many people fighting for family assets, and she had seen many people fight to the death for them. However, she had never seen such a scene of people fighting to the death for nothing.

What the hell was going on?

Old Master Huo couldn’t breathe, and his eyes rolled back. The butler was so anxious that he was about to cry. He begged, “Mr. Lu, only you can stop this now! Please!”

Su Bei finally knew why Old Master Huo had called Lu Heting over today. It turned out that he had estimated that the two of them might fight.

However, Old Master Huo might not have gotten his estimations right. They were not fighting over the assets but fighting over pushing them away.

Old Master Huo also begged, “Heting…”

Lu Heting was entrusted with an important task. Seeing Old Master Huo like this, he had to do something. He said, “Enough!”

Although his voice was soft, it was not weak at all. It exploded in Lu Weijian and Huo Zhong’s ears at the same time.

The two men stopped what they were doing, but they kept their hands on each other’s collars. They looked like they were not going to give in to each other.

Lu Weijian looked at Lu Heting aggrievedly. “Brother, you can’t side with outsiders. Your biological brother has been asked to inherit the Huo family’s business. Aren’t you going to interfere? I’m a member of the Lu family through and through. Who wants to inherit the Huo family’s things? Hurry up and interfere!”

Huo Zhong also shouted, “Lu Weijian, don’t go there. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you asked Lu Heting for help. Lu Heting, you too. Just take care of the Lu family’s matters. You don’t have to get involved in the Huo family’s matters. Whoever has the Huo family’s bloodline knows it best in their heart. Who should take over the Huo family has nothing to do with your Lu family!”
