Chapter 415: Chapter 415: He doesn’t allow anyone to upset Xia Chuyi

"Lian’er, you’re here? What a coincidence, we are just eating!" Su Susu said with a beaming smile.

Su Susu beckoned Ou Lianlian over, "Come, come, sit."

"Okay." Ou Lianlian pretended to be obedient and walked over.

Immediately, Su Susu pulled her over and said to Huo Shiqian, "Shiqian, this is the youngest daughter of the Ou Family, Ou Lianlian. You’ve met her before."

"Lian’er, this is your Brother Huo," Ou Lianlian called gently.

Huo Shiqian indifferently glanced at her.

The temperature suddenly dropped.

Huo Shiqian slowly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "I’m done eating."

Then, he got up without paying any attention to Su Susu and Ou Lianlian, and coldly said to Huo Zhongcheng, "I’m leaving."

The dining room instantly fell quiet.

Huo Zhongcheng furrowed his brows, put down his chopsticks, and said to his eldest son, "Let me walk you out."

He had no intention of stopping him.

Huo Shiqian did not respond to Huo Zhongcheng, his expression stern, and he walked straight out without saying a word.

As he reached the doorway, Huo Shiqian turned back and said, "Aunt Su, from now on, don’t bring just anyone home."

His words were an unmistakable hint.

Huo Shiqian didn’t want to cause a scene, but he truly didn’t desire for anyone in the family to trouble Xia Chuyi, not even the slightest.

Su Susu’s face suddenly went pale.

She had never expected her stepson to embarrass her like this.

Huo Zhongcheng coughed and, feigning ignorance, said, "Qian’er, let’s go."

Huo Shiqian glanced indifferently at his father and said nothing more.

Once the two had left the mansion, Huo Zhongcheng suddenly spoke to his son, "Qian’er, actually, your Aunt Su... doesn’t really have bad intentions..."

He tried to explain on behalf of Su Susu.

"No need to discuss this with me, Father," Huo Shiqian said indifferently, "You live with her, not me."

His implication was clear: Su Susu’s character was none of his concern.

"As long as she stops acting unnecessarily, I don’t mind keeping the peace," Huo Shiqian’s words were extremely straightforward.

"Cough, cough!" Huo Zhongcheng coughed awkwardly and said, "I will persuade her."

Upon reaching the doorway, the driver opened the car door for Huo Shiqian.

Huo Shiqian stood by the car door, looking at Huo Zhongcheng.

"Father, a word of advice, sometimes, ignorance is more frightening than malice."

After saying this, Huo Shiqian got into the car.

Huo Zhongcheng was choked up and couldn’t say anything.

He sighed and returned to the mansion only after watching his son drive away.

Back in the dining room, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Especially for Ou Lianlian, who had dressed up specifically to have this ’chance encounter’ with Huo Shiqian.

Now, Huo Shiqian didn’t give her any face and just walked away, leaving her frustrated and resentful.

And in front of Su Susu, she couldn’t show it.

Su Susu’s face was even harder to read, but she just forcefully held back from saying anything.

Huo Qing and Huo Lang, the youngsters, knew the atmosphere was off and quietly ate their food, not daring to breathe out loud.

"Su, finish your meal and come to my study," Huo Zhongcheng said somewhat sternly to Su Susu.

After saying this, he went into the study first.

Su Susu’s face changed.

Ou Lianlian felt even more awkward and said, "Aunt Huo, in that case, I will leave now."

"Okay, take care on your way home," Su Susu said somewhat flusteredly.

At this point, she had no time to worry about Ou Lianlian anymore.

Ou Lianlian left, and Su Susu got up and went to the study.
