Chapter 1039: Couldn’t Let Anything Happen To The Child
The more Hou Zexian spoke, the more his tone changed. Tian Qihua had already disliked him in the beginning. Now when she heard his words, her fiery anger was instantly ignited.
“Hey, kid. You’re in my house. Are you looking down on the Han Family by saying that to my daughter-in-law? What, don’t tell me Hou Yingyi handed over his unfinished business to you now? The Hou Family is very good at this. Can’t you let Zixuan have a good day? Do you really have to come here to drive a wedge between us?”
“Like I said, it has nothing to do with the Hou Family!” Hou Zexian didn’t even look at Tian Qihua. He continued to stare at Liang Zixuan as if what he said was true, how serious it was, and how important it was to him. “Zixuan, what I said today, what I did today only represents my own will. Don’t listen to her nonsense!”
Liang Zixuan was truly dumbfounded. Hou Zexian was a person who didn’t talk much in the past, and if you said ten words to him, it would be nice if he could answer you with one sentence. Even with Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong, his biological parents, he was like that too. What kind of medicine did he take tonight?
“Hou Zexian…” Liang Zixuan shook her head speechlessly. “I’m not that close to you. Please watch your words. Don’t let my family misunderstand, and don’t bring me any trouble.”
Liang Zixuan also felt that the Hou Family wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass her and make her lose face in front of everyone. They wanted to make everyone think that she was a dirty woman.
Hou Zexian wanted to say something, but Yu Meilin’s voice suddenly came from behind. “Zexian!”
Then, the ear-piercing sound of high heels stepping on the tiles came closer.
“I have been looking for you everywhere! What are you doing here?” Yu Meilin gave Liang Zixuan a sharp look and pulled Hou Zexian’s hand to leave. “Hurry up and follow me. Your father is looking for you.”
Hou Zexian brushed Yu Meilin’s hand away, leaving her no face. “I’m not going. I have something to say to Zixuan.”
“You!” Yu Meilin was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Her eldest son was stupid. Could it be that her youngest child had also been infected by him?
“Zexian!” Yu Meilin tugged furiously at Hou Zexian’s sleeve and said in a low voice. “Stop fooling around. Today is an important day for our family. Do not embarrass the Hou Family!”
“I will not embarrass you.” Hou Zexian’s expression was cold. His entire body radiated a cold aura. His coldness towards Yu Meilin was displayed to the extreme. “As I said before, everything I do has nothing to do with the Hou Family!”
Yu Meilin looked at Hou Zexian in disbelief. She really did not expect that Hou Zexian, who was always quiet and only liked to play with his own toys, would actually say such heartless words to her one day.
One should know that Yu Meilin loved Hou Zexian more ever since he was young. She had given almost everything she could to him. Even the Hou Family, she had also helped him snatch it away from Hou Yingyi. So, how could he treat her like this?
Yu Meilin was very shocked. “Zexian, what are you talking about? Come with me now!”
“If you want to leave, then leave yourself!” Hou Zexian cast a cold look at Yu Meilin and turned to Liang Zixuan once more. “Zixuan, come with me. I have something very important to tell you.”
As he spoke, he pulled Liang Zixuan’s hand. She was dragged two steps by him before she angrily shook his hand away.
“Hou Zexian, let go of me! Stop fooling around!”
Hou Zexian didn’t let go. He stubbornly dragged Liang Zixuan along with him.
Tian Qihua couldn’t take it anymore. She ran and hit Hou Zexian hard with her body.
She was holding the child in her arms, so she didn’t dare hit Hou Zexian too hard. She used her shoulder to hit him.
Hou Zexian turned his body and subconsciously turned to look at Tian Qihua. His gaze happened to roam over the face of the child in her arms and suddenly… he was stunned.
Liang Zixuan took the opportunity to free herself and ran to Tian Qihua with a few steps. She held Tian Qihua’s hand tightly as if she had seen a ghost, and they immediately left.
Tian Qihua scolded as she walked. “Did this person just come out of the mental hospital? Is he sick? Come to my house to spread wildness, the Hou Family is really getting bolder and bolder!”
Hou Zexian stared at Tian Qihua’s back and narrowed his eyes. As if he had discovered a big secret, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Yu Meilin looked at his smile and felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Zexian, what’s wrong with you tonight?”
Yu Meilin was really angry, but she suppressed the uneasy feeling in her heart and pulled Hou Zexian’s hand and walked towards Hou Shihong.
“Let me tell you. Your father wants to take this opportunity to introduce you to some figures in the business world. So please be a good child and don’t cause any trouble, okay?”
Her youngest son, no matter how angry Yu Meilin was, she couldn’t get angry with him.
If it were Hou Yingyi, she would have scolded him long ago.
Hou Zexian suddenly said something out of nowhere. “Mom, are sister-in-law and nephew still in the hospital?”
“Why do you care about those two beasts?” Yu Meilin couldn’t hear Wei Xiaoqing’s name at that moment. She would get very angry when people mentioned it. “They can stay in the hospital as long as they want. They can stay in the hospital until they die. I don’t care!”
‘That won’t do.’ Hou Zexian said slowly in his heart. He couldn’t care less if Wei Xiaoqing died or not. But that child… He couldn’t let anything happen to him!
After that incident, Hou Zexian seemed to have become a different person. Hou Shihong took him to greet business partners. Hou Zexian handled things appropriately and humbly. Whether speaking or doing things, he was many times better than Hou Yingyi.
When Hou Shihong saw him like this, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
At least there was still Hou Zexian in the Hou Family. Otherwise… hehe, it would really be the misfortune of their family.
As soon as Tian Qihua and Liang Zixuan got there, they were surrounded by a group of women.
Some went to praise the child to please Tian Qihua, others went to flatter Liang Zixuan, wanting to make a good impression in front of her.
If this were a normal day, Liang Zixuan would already be looking for a corner to hide in. She usually didn’t like situations like this where she did not know what to do. However, today was different. She was no longer the little girl hiding behind Han Yuanjun. She was now the matriarch of the Han Family. She would help Han Yuanjun run the Han Family’s business in the future.
Therefore, she could not escape. She could only hold back her contempt and advanced forward.
“Aiya, this child is very obedient. I think he looks more like Liang Zixuan. Look at his eyes. Those eyebrows are like her!”
“Yes, yes. When this child grows up, he will surely be a handsome man. He will be a high-quality prince charming who will make thousands of women fall in love with.”
Tian Qihua once again heard people saying that the child looked like Liang Zixuan. The feeling in her heart was strange. It was not because she was angry, but it was very strange.
Even if Liang Zixuan was the one who gave birth to the child, there was no way the child wouldn’t look like Han Yuanjun, right?
