Chapter 384 The Warlord Male Supporting Role in the Republic of China and the Cannon Fodder Feudal F
Grandma Huo felt very distressed when she saw Huo Shubai's emotional look.
Huo Shubai had always acted well in front of his elders and had never shown such excitement and grief, so he frightened Grandma Huo in an instant.
Previously, Huo Wenze said that Huo Shubai didn’t like the marriage arranged by the elders, and it just so happened that Huo Wenze and Wenrou liked each other, so the elders discussed it and changed the person of the marriage.
I thought everything would go smoothly, but now Huo Shubai's sudden awakening has brought the situation to a stalemate again, and Grandma Huo is very embarrassed.
However, when Grandma Huo thought of her usual preference for Huo Shubai, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, feeling helpless, but she really couldn't bear to see Huo Shubai sad and cry.
So, Grandma Huo called Huo Shubai's grandfather and father, and the elders sat together and whispered to each other.
Grandpa Huo frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice, "This is a tricky matter. Wen Ze and Wen Rou are quite close, and now Shu Bai has caused this trouble again."
Huo's father also had a worried look on his face. He echoed, "Yes, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh and blood, but the marriage contract is related to the family's reputation. The original change of the marriage contract also took many factors into consideration."
Grandma Huo wiped her eyes gently and said softly, "I can see that Shubai is really sad this time. Although he was absurd in the past, he is our child after all. We can't watch him become so depressed."
The elders weighed the pros and cons one after another, and finally nodded, saying that they would help him persuade Huo Wenze to change his engagement partner back to Huo Shubai.
The news soon reached Huo Wenze's ears. When he learned the decision of his elders, his face turned ashen in an instant.
He went straight back to the old house and found the elders. He suppressed his anger and tried to keep his voice steady: "Grandpa, Grandma, Father, how can you change the engagement so easily? Wenrou and I are truly in love. Just because of Huo Shubai's so-called sudden awakening, are you going to forcibly separate us?"
Grandpa Huo sighed softly, his cloudy eyes filled with helplessness. He advised earnestly, "Wen Ze, we all know that you and Wen Rou are deeply in love, but Shu Bai's current situation is really worrying us. He is truly repentant and wants to take responsibility. Please consider it for the sake of the family and take a step back for now."
Huo Wenze was so angry that he clenched his fists, and veins popped out on his forehead: "Considering the family? So my happiness can be sacrificed at will? Do I have to give up everything Huo Shubai likes? Impossible!"
Huo Wenze almost gritted his teeth when he said this. In the past, when the elders in his family asked him to give in to Huo Shubai, he would give in.
But this time is different. This time Huo Shubai wants the girl he likes, and Huo Wenzhe will not let her go no matter what.
The meeting ended in a bad mood. The elders of the Huo family looked at each other with astonishment and disbelief written on their faces.
They never imagined that Huo Wen Ze, who always put his family first and was polite and sensible, would openly defy the wishes of his elders for a woman, so resolutely and ruthlessly.
"He's really rebellious! Does he think that now that he is the head of the Huo family, he can disobey the elders?" Huo's father's eyes were wide open, like an enraged lion, and he slammed the ground with the crutch in his hand, making a dull "dong dong" sound.
Although Huo's father knew that the cause of this incident was Huo Shubai's willful behavior, he had always been dictatorial and autocratic, accustomed to controlling everything. Now that Huo Wenze was so disobedient, it really made him lose face. The anger and resentment in his heart were like a burning flame, burning more and more vigorously.
====================================================================== ================
Huo Shubai was happily waiting in the Huo family mansion for the elders in his family to come forward to uphold justice, hoping to rekindle his relationship with Wenrou.
He seemed to have seen a bright future beckoning to him. He went in and out of the Huo family mansion every day, and from time to time he hung around in front of Huo Wenze and Wenrou, trying his best to show his courtesy to Wenrou.
However, Wenrou always treated his actions with indifference, as if he were nothing but air. In the face of his courtesy, Wenrou would either ignore him and walk right past him; or she would frown slightly, her face showing annoyance, and coldly say, "No need, Second Young Master Huo."
But Huo Shubai seemed to be possessed by a demon. He didn't care about Wenrou's indifference at all and still didn't give up. Just like how he had been clinging to Liu Jia in the beginning, he kept pestering Wenrou and became more and more courageous with each setback.
Huo Wen Ze saw it all and was furious. Every time he witnessed Huo Shubai's actions, the rage in his heart would surge like a volcano about to erupt.
Finally, after seeing Huo Shubai shamelessly pestering Wen Rou once again, he could no longer endure it. He stepped forward, grabbed Huo Shubai by the collar, and dragged him out of the house like a chicken. Then, he shouted at the servants, "Listen up! From now on, Huo Shubai is not allowed to set foot in the gate of the Huo family mansion. If he disobeys, he will be punished by military law!"
Huo Shubai was stunned by this sudden change. By the time he came to his senses, he was already outside the Huo family mansion.
He stared at the tightly closed door, his entire body fuming with rage. He jumped up and down at the entrance of the Huo family mansion and yelled, "Huo Wenze, what gives you the right to kick me out? This engagement is clearly mine, and you're stealing my fiancée and being so overbearing. Just wait for me!"
His shouting and cursing attracted many passers-by to watch, and everyone pointed and talked about it, but Huo Shubai seemed to ignore them all and was immersed in his own anger.
In the end, Huo Shubai, humiliated and filled with resentment, had no choice but to return to the Huo family's old house in shame to seek help.
As soon as he entered the old house, he fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. He sobbed, "Grandpa, Grandma, Father, please help me! I thought my brother would consider our brotherly love, but I didn't expect him to be so heartless and kick me out. I'm at my wit's end now. Please help me."
Not long after, the elders of the Huo family arrived at the Huo mansion in a grand manner.
Everyone gathered together, and the originally spacious hall now seemed particularly depressing, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
The most respected of the Huo family elders cleared his throat, his gaze slowly sweeping across the crowd before finally landing on Huo Wenze: "Wenze, your brother was engaged to Wenrou first, and now Shubai has come to his senses and is willing to take on this responsibility. Don't be stubborn anymore. We in the Huo family have always valued rules the most. We can't mess up this engagement."
Huo's father sat aside, looking at Huo Wen Ze coldly, and seemed to mean the same thing.
Huo Shubai stood proudly behind his father, as if he could already foresee the scene of himself successfully and continuing his engagement with Wen Rou.
