The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 79

Ch 79: Don’t Blame Brother for Not Reminding You

Gu Qingyin was only focused on talking to her sons. Although she sensed someone entering, she assumed it was a servant from the house. Mao Mao was the first to notice something was wrong, and it alerted them with its cries.

The dining room went silent. The mother and her three sons looked over, expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

“Why are you back?” Huo Xingye was the first to speak. He glanced at Gu Qingyin, then continued, “Isn’t the training camp not over yet?”

Huo Xingchen stared at Gu Qingyin, saying expressionlessly, “Came back to see my suddenly appearing Mom.”

Gu Qingyin was already familiar with this routine, and immediately said, “If you don’t believe it, we can do a paternity test first.”

Huo Xingchen scoffed, “I don’t believe in that kind of thing.” If he wanted to, he could have a hundred ways to get the result he wanted.

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow. “Then what do you believe in?”

Huo Xingchen didn’t speak. He wanted Gu Qingyin’s blood to verify it using his own methods, but Huo Xingye and Huo Xinghai were both here, and they wouldn’t agree.

“My eldest brother and I have both done paternity tests with Mom, there’s no need to do it again.” Huo Xinghai frowned slightly. “Let’s eat first, we can talk while we eat.”

Huo Xingchen threw his backpack on the ground, took off his coat, washed his hands, and then went to sit down.

Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingye sat on one side, with Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingchen sitting opposite them.

After Huo Xingchen sat down, he didn’t eat. He scrutinized Gu Qingyin without restraint, then abruptly asked, “Did you have plastic surgery?”

Gu Qingyin’s lips twitched. “Do I need to?” She then looked at Huo Xingye and Huo Xinghai. “Didn’t you tell him?”

Huo Xingye rubbed his temples with a headache. “We only said you were back, we didn’t mention anything else. We were planning to talk to him face-to-face after his training camp ended.” Who knew this kid would have this kind of attitude? It felt like he didn’t rush back to acknowledge his mom, but to find fault.

Gu Qingyin understood, and signaled Hua Xin with her eyes.

Hua Xin understood instantly and began to clear the room.

Before long, the first floor of the villa was empty, leaving only the four people at the dining table and Mao Mao.

Gu Qingyin leaned back in her chair and explained again the reason why she disappeared for twenty years and was still so young.

Huo Xingchen’s expression didn’t change much, his heart half believing and half doubting.

Very few people knew that his mom was a Taoist Master, not even his eldest and second brothers knew. He only accidentally discovered his mom’s study notes when he was a child, and then found out about it.

But, it was impossible that only he knew about this matter. To impersonate his mom, one would inevitably investigate his mom’s life thoroughly.

He wouldn’t believe that the person in front of him was his biological mother just because of this.

Huo Xingchen tugged at his lips. “That’s really a coincidence, eldest brother just stabilized the Huo Corporation, and you came back.”

When Huo Xingye first took over the Huo Corporation, the old guys from the branches made no small amount of trouble. It took Huo Xingye two whole years to completely control the entire Huo Corporation and begin to reorganize the branches.

To put it bluntly, Huo Xingchen suspected that Gu Qingyin was from the branches. Since they couldn’t control the Huo Corporation, they planned to use another method to indirectly control the Huo family’s leader.

Huo Xingchen’s eyes darkened slightly. As long as he was here, the branches shouldn’t even think about succeeding. If they dared to covet what didn’t belong to them again, he wouldn’t mind cutting off all their hands.

At that moment, Huo Xingchen’s aura changed slightly.

Gu Qingyin immediately looked over, but that aura only appeared for a moment before disappearing, so fast that it seemed like her imagination.

But it was impossible. Gu Qingyin was terrifyingly confident. Just now, there was definitely Sha energy, but it was quickly suppressed.

Gu Qingyin felt a little stifled. What was going on with her three sons? How could each one be more problematic than the last?

She was in a bad mood, and didn’t say much after that, lowering her head to eat in silence.

Huo Xingye and Huo Xinghai both thought she was sad, and kept glaring at Huo Xingchen while they ate.

Huo Xingchen felt that they were even more bewitched by Gu Qingyin, and secretly vowed to expose Gu Qingyin’s true colors.

This feeling of “everyone is drunk but I am sober” made Huo Xingchen’s sense of responsibility explode instantly. He would definitely protect the family fortune left by his father! Those bloodsuckers from the branch families shouldn’t even think about getting their hands on it!

After dinner, Gu Qingyin went straight back to her room.

Huo Xingye and Huo Xinghai exchanged a look, each grabbing one of Huo Xingchen’s arms, and took him to the study on the third floor, pressing him down on the sofa.

The two crossed their arms and questioned him condescendingly, “Why don’t you acknowledge Mom?”

Huo Xingchen looked up at his two older brothers. “What are the odds that someone who’s been missing for twenty years can come back unscathed? How could we have run into it? A paternity test alone isn’t enough to make me believe she’s her.”

He looked at Huo Xingye, his eyes showing doubt. “Eldest brother, you’re not someone who easily believes others, how could you believe her so easily this time?”

Easily?

Huo Xingye couldn’t help but reflect. He didn’t believe it at first either, and then he got beaten up…

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Huo Xinghai.

Huo Xinghai didn’t know if he was thinking the same thing, but he also looked at him with a strange expression.

Before acknowledging Mom, both of them had been beaten up.

Two seconds later, the brothers suddenly understood. Huo Xingchen didn’t acknowledge Mom because he hadn’t experienced Mom’s loving education yet. A beating would fix it.

Seeing that Huo Xingye wasn’t speaking, Huo Xingchen thought he had been moved by his words. He said seriously, “You can do whatever you want, I will find flaws and expose her.”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Xingye and Huo Xinghai exchanged a look, and then simultaneously cast complex glances at Huo Xingchen.

“Whatever you want.” Huo Xinghai rolled his eyes and left.

“Good luck to you.” Huo Xingye said lightly, leaving as well.

That’s all they could say. When he gets beaten up, don’t blame them, his older brothers, for not reminding him. Mom’s beatings really hurt.

Huo Xingchen felt inexplicably confused. He sat on the sofa and thought for a while, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply gave up.

Just as he was about to leave, his manager’s phone call came in.

Huo Xingchen paused, expressionlessly silenced his phone and stuffed it back into his pocket. The long flight was too tiring, he should at least get a good night’s sleep tonight.

The next morning, Liu Ergou came.

He was old, and coupled with years of cultivation, waking up early had become a habit. He thought that after he dawdled and finished breakfast, and then took a taxi over, it should already be very late.

As a result, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, he ran into Huo Xingye, who was coming downstairs, preparing to go to work.

Huo Xingye’s impression of this old Taoist priest had never been good. Seeing him, his eyes darkened slightly, and he asked, “Taoist Priest Liu, what brings you here?”

Liu Ergou was completely unaware, and puffed out his chest, saying, “I made an appointment with your mother, we’re going out to take care of some things today.”

Huo Xingye’s steps, which were about to leave, paused, and he turned back, sitting on the single sofa next to Liu Ergou. “What things? Is there anything I can help with?”

Liu Ergou waved his hand, saying vaguely, “Ordinary people can’t help with this matter.”

Huo Xingye understood, it was a Taoist Master’s matter.

If it were a day ago, there was nothing he could do no matter how unwilling he was, but now… He smiled slightly, “To be honest, my third brother also has some talent in Mystical Arts. It just so happens that he came back last night, so let him go out with you today.”
