Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 884: Brainless Fool

Huo Ci’s eyes blazed with fury. “Fine, let’s bet then. Since I said I didn’t do it, it means I didn’t do it! Let’s bet all the mines I have!”

As soon as Huo Ci finished speaking, the expressions of the other families became even more interesting. Everyone in the family coveted the mines in Sixth Brother’s possession, but so what? It could only mean that he was lucky!

The Huo Family had a lot of mines around the world, but they were all mines that had been bought by their ancestors. Many of them had not been mined before. Some had been explored, and some were rich while others were poor.

When the Old Master had given the mines to them, no one had been willing to accept the diamond mine. After exploring it, they had discovered that it was an extremely barren mine. There were not many things in it, and it was not enough to mine!

However, there were times when prospecting a mine was not accurate. After mining, they discovered that this was not a poor mine but a rich, profitable one.

When they had found out the outcome, the brothers had nearly died of anger. They had gritted their teeth in hatred and utmost regret. But they could only watch helplessly, green with envy of his annual dividend!

Ling Sheng, who was watching from above, had not expected a gambling bet to become involved because of this incident. Hey, did you guys forget that there was still someone lying on the ground?!

Indeed, there was no kinship to speak of among wealthy, aristocratic families. What they talked about was benefits. Look at Cao Yunxian, who had fallen to such a state. Her husband was still in the mood to gamble with someone else based on her accident.

However, based on the expressions of the people below, she could also guess that the mine her father was talking about was definitely very attractive. What kind of mine was it? What if he lost? Judging by her Fifth Uncle’s behavior, he seemed to be getting ready to bring in the big guns.

Cao Yunxian gnashed her teeth and swallowed her blood. At this moment, she wanted to skin Huo Ci alive and drink his blood. Her eyes were sinister as she clenched her fists tightly. Pain was nothing at this point. As long as she could bleed Sixth Brother Huo of copious amounts of money, she did not care about anything else!

He must have done it! He was definitely the one who did it! He dared to bet because he was sure that they would not be able to seize his mistake. He should not forget that her husband’s good friend was the number one investigator in the National Search Department!

“It’s a deal.” When Huo Pei received Huo Ci’s reply, he felt his body start to tremble from excessive excitement. When he thought of the abundant ores, his breathing became hurried.

“A gentleman keeps his word.” After saying that, Huo Ci turned around angrily and went upstairs. After shouting at Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi, he kicked the door open and slammed it shut.

The corners of Huo Pei’s lips curled up smugly. It was as though that mine was already in his pocket. He thought about all that money. With those few mines, why would he still have to care about the family assets? Let the few useless pieces of trash left fight for it!

Ling Sheng did not know how her uncles viewed her biological father. Were they blind or brainless? Or were they unable to judge themselves accurately

Why did she keep feeling that all of them felt that her father was a brainless fool who could be conned to the max and was easily provoked with an explosive temper?

Actually, that was what she had thought at first too. Excluding his face and the image he upheld outside, he had a bad temper at home and was easily angered. He seemed like a brainless and irritable tyrant.

However, that really wasn’t the case. If this was the case, how could he have maintained his current status and reputation steadily for decades?

The ambulance arrived quickly. Many doctors and nurses came and lifted Cao Yunxian to the hospital. Only Huo Pei and his son, Huo Xuan’an, followed them.

When the remaining people saw the ambulance leave, they finally looked at one another with different thoughts. However, they all knew that Huo Ci was behind this.

However, they did not know if the truth could be found out. If Sixth Brother was really discovered to be guilty of the crime, the many mines he had would benefit Fifth Brother.

Huo Xiao was very angry. He had not expected them to start gambling in front of him. If Yin’er had not stopped him, he would have slapped the two scumbags to death. He only opened his mouth angrily when they were in their room. “Why did you stop me? Fifth Son’s wife was because of …”

Su Xiyin frowned. It was rare for her to defend Huo Ci. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? There’s no evidence. How do you know Ci Er did it?!”

And so what if Ci Er had done it? She could only say that he had done a good job! That was how it should be done!

Besides, she knew her son the best. Once he decided to do something, he would not leave any evidence behind.

Her stepchildren and daughters-in-law at home had probably forgotten that Ci Er was a fierce beast with fangs because he usually treated them too nicely.

Ling Sheng did not know what her father was thinking either. What if he really got caught and the mines were all given to someone else? Judging by the complexions and expressions of those people at home, the diamond and gold mines were definitely valuable items. They were all hers!

“Sheng Sheng.” Su Xiyin came up and pushed the door open. Upon seeing her sitting cross-legged on the ground worriedly without reading the script in her hand, she walked over worriedly. “What’s wrong?”

Ling Sheng looked up suddenly with a frown still. She asked very seriously, “Grandma, what do you think will happen if he loses the mines?”

“You don’t believe in him?” Su Xiyin had not expected her to be thinking of this. It was just a few mines. So what if he lost? Besides, he could not lose.

“I said what if! There are always exceptions!” Ling Sheng was still worried. She was a little money-grubber. When she thought about how so much money would become someone else’s, her heart bled!

“Your father must have planned everything. Don’t worry. If he loses, Grandma will buy more for you,” Su Xiyin said with a smile.

She had always known that she was a money-grubber. A little money-grubber who was generous to her own people and stingy to others.

“I don’t want it.” Ling Sheng was not greedy about money. As long as she had enough money to spend, she would be fine. She just felt terrible that her own family’s things were about to be won by someone else.

Su Xiyin smiled and sat beside her. “Is this the next show you’re acting in?”

Ling Sheng nodded. “Yes.”

Su Xiyin took a look too. It was called “I’m the school bully. Who would I be afraid of?” She laughed. “What kind of name is this? Are the titles of the dramas nowadays all so strange?”

Ling Sheng had just roughly looked through the script and was about to read it a second time. The name was very lame but the content was very interesting. She was also very interested and explained it to her grandma excitedly.

Actually, the content was just a school drama. However, it was very funny and foolish. It was just a silly comedy.

The female lead Ke Ai’ai was a pitiful girl who did not have good grades, did not know how to dress up, and had a weak personality. She was often bullied in school. One day, she drowned and lost her memory when she woke up.

There was an additional notebook in her bag that recorded the righteous deeds of helping the weak and not fearing the strong, and of defying those with power.
