Huo Xiao stood where he was and looked at Wu Qi’s mother.

Lin Shu walked quickly to her son and looked at Wu Qi’s mother. “We’ve been very polite to you, but you came to my house to beat my son?”

Wu Qi’s mother wanted to explain, but Lin Shu refused to listen.

“Housekeeper! Get them out!” Lin Shu shouted.

The housekeeper immediately rushed in and was about to ‘invite’ the Wu couple out of the living room.

“No, I didn’t do it on purpose…” Wu Qi’s mother said hurriedly.

Lin Shu raised her eyebrows and glared at the Wu couple. “Housekeeper! What are you waiting for!”

“Madam Huo, you can’t do this!” Wu Qi’s father also walked forward and wanted to argue.

The housekeeper didn’t want to be scolded again, so he quickly called out two servants and ‘invited’ the Wu couple out.

Lin Shu saw the couple leave and sat down on the sofa angrily.

Huo Xiao saw his mother’s angry look and went forward to persuade her, “Mom, don’t be angry.”

Lin Shu widened her eyes and looked at Huo Xiao, “How dare they hit you!”

“I rarely hit you!” Lin Shu looked at the trace of redness on Huo Xiao’s face and became even angrier, “They even came to my house to hit my son!”

“Probably they were impulsive at that moment,” Huo Xiao quickly persuaded.

Lin Shu did not care and continued to sit on the spot in a huff.

Lin Shu had always been a hot-tempered person. All these years, because of Huo Xiao’s illness, she felt even more heartache for him.

Now that someone dared to hit Huo Xiao in front of her, if not for her upbringing, Lin Shu would have torn the person apart.

Lin Shu sat on the sofa, breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Huo Xiao knew that he could not persuade his mother no matter how.

His eyes moved, and he decided to use his last resort.

Huo Xiao waved at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper immediately ran over.

Huo Xiao whispered a few words into the housekeeper’s ear, and the housekeeper turned to run outside.

Not long after, the sound of emergency brakes came from outside the door.

Huo Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly took two steps back and looked at his mother, who was still angry and glanced at the door.

Huo Sheng rushed in through the door. When he saw his son, he began to wink.

Huo Xiao raised his chin towards Lin Shu.

Huo Sheng immediately nodded and made an “okay” gesture at Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao said to Lin Shu, “Mom, I still have something to do. I’ll go upstairs first!”

Lin Shu’s face turned ugly when she heard Huo Xiao’s words. “Your mom is angry, and you’re going upstairs. You’re heartless!”

Huo Xiao smiled at Lin Shu and ran upstairs.

Lin Shu stood up and pouted as she watched Huo Xiao run away.

Huo Sheng immediately rushed over to put out the fire.

“My dear wife, who made you angry?” Huo Sheng ran to Lin Shu’s side and put his hands on Lin Shu’s shoulders, pulling her into his arms.

Lin Shu crossed her arms and snorted. “Who else if not your precious son!”

“This unfilial son! I’ll beat him up later!” Huo Sheng immediately raised the banner of revenge for his wife.

“No!” Lin Shu immediately stopped him. “This child has been wronged today!”

“What happened? Who dares to bully my son?” Huo Sheng immediately stood up for his son.

As Huo Sheng spoke, he sat down on the sofa with Lin Shu.

Lin Shu turned to look at Huo Sheng with a resentful expression. “It’s Wu Qi’s parents!”

“The engagement was fine, but their daughter came to break it off herself!” Lin Shu got angrier the more she spoke.

“In the end, the two of them came knocking on our door! And they dared to hit my son!” Lin Shu said, panting heavily.

Huo Sheng quickly calmed Lin shu down and said, “Okay! I’ll go deal with them tomorrow!”

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes when she heard Huo Shen agree so readily. She raised an eyebrow. “Tell me, how do you plan to deal with them tomorrow?”

“Uh… this…” Huo Sheng was at a loss for words.

He was merely trying to appease his wife. How could he go against his old friends just because of this?

Now that Lin Shu had asked him back, Huo Sheng had nothing to say.

“Hmph! I knew you were merely brushing me off!” Lin Shu’s eyes widened.

Huo Sheng knew that he had offended his wife this time, so he immediately raised his hands in surrender. “Honey, I was wrong!”

Lin Shu stared at Huo Sheng with an unperturbed expression.

Huo Sheng just stood there and stared at Lin Shu.

A moment later, with Lin Shu’s laughter, Huo Yi’s crisis was finally resolved.
