Chapter 300: After All, It’s Hard to Guard Against a Thief
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When they heard that Huo Jiuxiao was going to bring Lin Wanli into the family tomorrow, the Huo Family revealed mocking and playful smiles at the same time. It was late at night, making people lose their appetite and feel disgusted.
However, none of them dared to say anything because there was no point in resisting the established facts. Since this pauper was so bold, they would let her have a taste of how exciting it was to be ostracized by wealthy families.
“Mom, can you lock the floors from the third to the fifth floor? After all, I’m afraid of losing things.” Huo Zizhen said, “Also, I won’t go to the swimming pool on the top floor anymore. I wonder if a pool that the poor have soaked in will spread poverty and madness. In the future, every corner of this house will be filled with all kinds of cheap and germs. I’ll have to trouble the butler to disinfect it twice in the morning and evening. Pay special attention to things that have been touched by someone.”
At this moment, Huo Weichen leaned on the back of the chair with one hand and leaned sideways to Huo Zizhen. “When Huo Jiuxiao was here, weren’t you looking forward to sister-in-law marrying in?” he asked.
“In front of Dad, I have to say that even if it’s sh*t.”
At this moment, Yun Shujing glared at the two of them. “Alright, enough is enough. Your father just left his seat. Don’t go too far.”
The two of them were playing around, but in fact, these people’s rejection of Lin Wanli was no less than letting them eat sh*t.
Although Yun Shujing didn’t say it out loud, she had secretly prepared several methods to deal with Lin Wanli.
“Butler, follow Fourth Little Miss’s instructions and install fingerprint locks on the third to fifth floors. Empty the pool, seal the rooftop, and put as much disinfectant as possible in the house.”
“Madam, if you do this, Old Master will be angry.” The butler reminded.
“He didn’t even care if we were angry when he let Lin Wanli in. Why should I care about him now? Besides, other than the second floor, he never went to the other rooms, so no one would say anything, and no one would know. You don’t have to persuade me anymore. Just do as I say.”
This was Yun Shujing’s way of protesting.
She didn’t dare to go against Huo Qingxiao’s decision, but when it came to her children’s matters, she had a temper.
“Also, tell the bodyguards at home to be more careful. After all, it’s hard to guard against thieves.”
The butler did not refute and did as he was told.
These few people had made it so obvious that they were ostracizing and humiliating Lin Wanli. Who knew how the Eldest Young Master would react when the time came.
Huo Jiuxiao had already received the news from the butler. He thought to himself that the second wife was indeed ruthless, but she was not smart enough. Then, he sent a message to Huo Qingxiao.
If some people wanted to be despicable, then don’t blame him for hitting them.
Huo Qingxiao had built the Huo Family’s house for his mother back then, so the real estate owner’s surname was Lu. Later, when his mother passed away, the will stated that the shares belonged to Huo Qingxiao and the Huo Family belonged to him. In other words, the mistress and illegitimate child were just taking over his house. How could they have the face to do whatever they wanted in his house?
It seemed that he had to reassign the ownership of the Huo Family to prevent those mistresses and illegitimate children from getting too smug. Therefore, he replied to the butler, “Just do as you’re told. I’ll handle it.”
“Then tomorrow, when Eldest Young Madam comes in…”
“Don’t worry about it. I have my own arrangements.”
Yun Shujing wanted to make herself superior, but he had to let the mistress be seen by Ah Li at her ugliest moment. Being seen by the “poor man” in her worst state should be worse than killing Yun Shujing, right?
Of course, this was only to suppress Yun Shujing’s drive. If he wanted to completely destroy the power of these people in the Huo Family, he would have to remove all of her children one by one.
The first was Huo Zizhen.
The next morning, it was drizzling in Jinzhou.
The Huo Family’s limited edition Rolls-Royce drove Huo Jiuxiao and his partner to the Huo family’s door. According to the Huo Family’s rules, other than Huo Qingxiao and his wife, everyone else had to welcome them at the door. Just like how Huo Jiuxiao had returned to the Huo Family, the Huo siblings had a disgusted and arrogant face from the beginning to the end.
Although they had to abide by the family rules, it did not stop them from criticizing them deaf and poor in their hearts.
Lin Wanli was all alone and did not bring any luggage with her. It was the first time she saw the huge Huo Family and the rest of the Huo family. She sneered in her heart. It was indeed as Huo Yu’an had said. They were ugly and unique.
“Welcome, Young Madam.” The butler went forward to welcome Lin Wanli.
“Thank you.”
Lin Wanli smiled and thanked him. Then, she looked at Huo Zizhen. However, Huo Zizhen avoided her gaze.
“Old Master and Madam are waiting for you in the living room.” Master Xiao didn’t have much of an expression on his face, as if he had completed a mission. He took the lead and walked in front, not caring about Lin Wanli’s feelings.
The butler welcomed Lin Wanli and walked towards the Huo Family’s living room.
“It seems like deaf isn’t very satisfied with this poor girl either,” Huo Zizhen said to Huo Weichen from behind them.
“No matter how deaf you are, you’re still a member of the Huo Family. Why would you like a poor girl covered in bacteria?”
“She’s very beautiful,” Only Huo Shengyuan commented before entering the living room.
Because Lin Wanli had fair skin and an imposing appearance, especially the small red mole at the corner of her left eye, it added a hint of charm to her gentleness.
The group entered the large living room. Lin Wanli walked up to Huo Qingxiao. “Old Mr. Huo, I came as promised.”
Huo Qingxiao put down his teacup and looked at Lin Wanli. “You and Jiuxiao have already registered your marriage, so you’re officially married. However, the wedding will have to wait until the end of the year. I hope you don’t mind. Now that his ears are not working well, he needs his wife to take care of him, so I hope you can be his good ear.”
“As you wish.” Lin Wanli replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
At this moment, Yun Shujing was sizing up Lin Wanli. It was very strange that this woman did not have the temperament of a small family at all. Instead, she was very generous.
Most importantly, her beauty was natural and had not been eroded by any technological projects.

“This is Jiuxiao’s stepmother. You can call her Aunt Shu from now on.”
“Hello, Aunt Shu.” Lin Wanli turned to look at Yun Shujing. She didn’t have the restraint and fear of a daughter-in-law looking at her mother-in-law. Instead, she exuded confidence from the inside out.
“Welcome, Wanli. This will be your home from now on. However, you’re new here, so there are some things that Aunt Shu has to say first. The second floor is Jiuxiao’s room, so don’t go up to the third to fifth floors. Children have their privacy, so I hope you can understand.” Yun Shujing tried her best not to look so mean.
At this moment, Huo Jiuxiao suddenly appeared behind Lin Wanli and said to Yun Shujing, “Can you repeat what you just said?”
“Jiuxiao, the rooms above the third floor are for Shengyuan and the others. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with me reminding her like this. I’m also afraid that everyone will feel awkward..”
