After Being Betrayed, I Inherited A Massive Fortune

Yun Zhen and Yun Zhe were also stunned when they heard this conversation.

Not long ago, Yun Qing had asked Yun Zhe to help her investigate the identity of the soldier who had saved her. Yun Zhe’s people had not found out the truth yet, but they did not expect to find out during this dinner that the soldier who had saved Yun Qing back then was actually Huo Chuan.

Only Elder Huo remained confused and asked, “W-what’s going on?”

“Five years ago in Europe, there was a lot of artillery fire. Yun Qing tried to save a child, but she was almost injured by an explosion. I went up to save her,” Huo Chuan explained calmly.

After Elder Huo heard that, he immediately urged them excitedly. “Oh my! So there’s such history between Huo Chuan and Yun Qing! Huo Chuan did not tell me about this before...”

“It’s all in the past.” Yun Qing felt awkward. After all, she had lied to Huo Chuan before, but she did not expect to be unmasked at such an occasion.

Huo Chuan’s gaze remained fixated on Yun Qing for a long time, making Yun Qing uncomfortable.

Just as Elder Huo was about to say something, Yun Zhen spoke up, he said to Elder Huo, “Elder Huo, we agreed to this date because we are grateful to Huo Chuan for saving Yun Qing back then. In addition to agreeing to the business cooperation, our Little Qing has also specially prepared a gift for you.”

Yun Qing smiled sweetly and took out a box and handed it to Elder Huo. “Elder Huo, this is the thumb ring that I bought from an auction overseas. It’s the same quality as the one you had before, or even more exquisite.”

“I heard that you often visit the museum to see your thumb ring. I didn’t expect you to be so reluctant to part with it. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Elder Huo.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo didn’t know whether Yun Qing was actually presenting him a gift, or if she mocking him on purpose.

Upon hearing Yun Qing’s words, Huo Zhou tried his best to hold back his laughter. He found this seemingly cold girl in front of him quite interesting.

Although Elder Huo had some complaints in his heart, he still opened the box. Then, he was stunned, and his eyes lit up.

......

Just as Yun Qing had said, this ring was even more exquisite than the one he had before. One look, and it was obvious that it was a priceless treasure.

Elder Huo could not wait to pick up the ring and put it on. However, he was worried that the sweat on his hand would corrode the treasure, so he could only look at it from afar. His eyes were filled with love.

However, he quickly thought of something and his face darkened.

Yun Qing had given him such an expensive gift the moment she arrived, but she had not mentioned anything about a marriage. This was not just to show that they intended to repay the favor of saving their lives. This was them being paid off.

Money was of no concern to Yun Zhen when it involved his precious daughter’s happiness.

Elder Huo retained the smile on his face and looked at Huo Chuan, who was beside him.

Huo Chuan was not stupid. He immediately saw through the Yun family’s intentions. His face was gloomy, and his body was shrouded in a faint layer of ice. He looked at Yun Qing.

Yun Qing was eating quietly at the moment and did not join in the conversation.

“Grandpa, this thumb ring is not bad. Miss Yun has good taste.” Huo Zhou’s sudden words broke the ice.

Yun Qing looked up at the man who seemed far too happy for the situation and rolled her eyes in her heart. If it not for this man, she would not have been so embarrassed.

“Oh, right, I was too busy chatting and forgot to introduce you. This is my second son’s child, Huo Zhou. He has been abroad all year round and is planning to return to China to develop his career.” Elder Huo patted Huo Zhou’s shoulder. He then introduced him to the Yun family.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Huo Zhou. It’s the first time we’ve met. Please give me some pointers in the future.”

It had to be said that this grandson of the Huo family was really unlike Huo Chuan.

Yun Qing sized Huo Zhou up from head to toe. Huo Chuan became more and more unhappy when he saw this. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

“Yun Qing, thank you for the gift. The Huo family has wronged you previously. If there’s a chance in the future, we will make it up to you properly.” After introducing Huo Zhou, Elder Huo shifted the topic back to Yun Qing.

Yun Zhen spoke on behalf of Yun Qing, “It’s fine. It’s just a child playing house. It’s all in the past. Yun Qing doesn’t care about it anymore. The two families don’t have to take it to heart. It’s fine as long as we have a normal relationship.”

Huo Chuan curled the corners of his lips, and his dark eyes flickered slightly. “Yes, let’s have a normal relationship from now on.”
