Chapter 358 Mother and daughter meet
Huo Xiangu traveled with great pomp, escorted by three bulletproof cars along the way.
In recent years, the Huo family has prospered, not only in business but also in official circles.
After Cheng Feng personally handled the case of the burned corpse, Huo Xiangu's husband was promoted rapidly within his department.
Now he is the head of the department, a leader with real power.
This tomb entrance was equivalent to the ancient Imperial Guard, a rank higher than any official, which is why the Huo family thrived in the capital.
When Cheng Feng picked up Huo Xiangu, the bodyguards who had accompanied her had already dispersed.
In the end, only one driver remained, carrying Huo Xiangu and Huo Xiuxiu, following behind Cheng Feng's car.
They drove from the city center to the suburbs, finally entering the base that Cheng Feng had built, one after the other.
Looking out the car window at the warehouses on both sides, Huo Xiangu saw that some of the warehouses were open and had a large number of tomb guardian beasts blatantly displayed inside.
There are all kinds of styles, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to last week.
Some of the warehouses had red gates and were guarded by burly men with guns, making Huo Xiangu feel as if she had entered some forbidden area.
"My uncle's influence in Golmud is beyond reason. And let me tell you a secret, Grandma, there's more than one ammunition depot in this base."
It even has a Katyusha.
Huo Xiuxiu leaned on Huo Xiangu's shoulder, her little face full of anticipation. She also wanted to see her grandmother's surprised expression.
But her expectations were dashed; Huo Xiangu simply nodded indifferently.
She knew her son-in-law's situation all too well. She wouldn't be surprised if he brought her a nuclear bomb with a launch device, let alone Katyusha.
"Xiuxiu, you should spend more time with your aunt in the future. No matter what happens, she will protect you for life."
Huo Xiangu earnestly instructed.
Huo Ling was Huo Xiangu's favorite daughter, and she was groomed to be her successor from a young age.
Unlike Huo Ling, Huo Xiuxiu had also undergone some training, but the intensity was far less than that of Huo Ling.
In terms of both skill and knowledge, she is only slightly better than the average young lady from a wealthy family.
So all I hope for is that she can live a peaceful and safe life.
The grandfather and grandson chatted about everyday things along the way, and soon the car arrived at the core of the base.
The gate to the courtyard is open, and a wide road leads straight to the villa at the end.
"By the way, my uncle has a big tiger, and interestingly, it's also named Xiaohua."
Huo Xiuxiu spoke with a smile on her face, as if she was recalling the scene when she talked about this with Xie Yuchen.
Huo Xiangu smiled gently. Huo Xiuxiu was like a ray of sunshine, bringing her much joy when Huo Ling was not around.
At this moment, the driver opened the car door, and Huo Xiuxiu got out of the car first, then helped Huo Xiangu out.
"mom!"
Huo Ling's call made Huo Xiangu's eyes flicker, and when she saw her daughter, she could no longer maintain the calm on her face.
Huo Ling ran quickly to Huo Xiangu and nestled into her arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Waaaaah, I miss you so much, Mom..."
A string of tiny pearls dampened Huo Ling's eyelashes, making her look like a child who hadn't grown up yet.
Huo Xiangu's eyes were also filled with tears as she hugged her daughter tightly and gently patted her back.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Mommy's here to see you!"
Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin, and Yang Xueli stood to one side, waiting for the mother and daughter to release their emotions after being separated for so long.
"Wenjin, didn't your father send anyone to ask about this?"
Cheng Feng thought that Chen Pi Asi was not a law-abiding person, and there was no reason for him not to be tempted by such a big event in the tomb raiding world.
Chen Wenjin shook her head; so far, there had been no word from her father.
"It's best if he doesn't get involved. That place is a death trap; for an ordinary person, going there is no different from courting death."
Cheng Feng said, arms crossed.
After a while, the mother and daughter finally calmed down and then came to Cheng Feng and the others together.
Chen Wenjin didn't need an introduction; she already knew Huo Xiangu, so she simply greeted her as a junior.
Then Huo Ling introduced Yang Xueli and A Xiang.
Of course, there was also Xiao Hua sitting next to Cheng Feng.
Huo Xiangu had known for a long time that Cheng Feng had more than one woman. Having lived through the Republican era, she was open-minded about such matters.
As long as Huo Ling herself is willing, she will not become the villain.
Therefore, Huo Xiangu's attitude towards Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli was still very good.
This made Huo Xiuxiu shake her head behind her. If the rest of the Huo family saw this kind-looking demeanor, they would definitely think they had seen a ghost.
You should know that Huo Xiangu is usually very decisive and imposing. All those little vixens in her family are as docile as quails in front of her.
"Let's go, I've had some good tea prepared, let's chat while we drink tea."
Cheng Feng invited Huo Xiangu and Huo Xiuxiu into his home.
Even though Huo Xiuxiu had mentioned that Cheng Feng's living room had a lot of exotic animal specimens, he still couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw them in person.
The ferocious blue python, the majestic white wolf king, and the monstrous spotted dragon with its scaly claws—it would be impossible to describe them in words.
After taking their seats in the living room, the women began to chat.
Huo Xiangu didn't talk much, only occasionally speaking at crucial moments, such as about the Huo family's current business and the problems they faced.
From the few words exchanged, the perceptive women gleaned some insights.
"Mom, you're not thinking of having me go back and become the head of the Huo family, are you?"
Faced with Huo Ling's direct question, Huo Xiangu nodded as a matter of course.
"Yes, that's true, but Mom won't force you. You still have time to consider whether you want to take on this responsibility."
Huo Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want to travel all the way to the capital to become some kind of family head.
Is separating from Cheng Feng a joke?
"No way, I think Xiuxiu is quite good. She's more than qualified to be the head of the Huo family."
Without even considering it, Huo Ling directly pinned the blame on Huo Xiuxiu.
Huo Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand, "No, no, with Grandma and Aunt here, how can it be my turn to make decisions!"
"Don't belittle yourself. I support you. Anyone in the family who dares to make things difficult for your aunt will be dealt with by her."
Huo Ling was full of confidence. The Huo family was just a small family, and she, as the head wife of the Xieling Chief, could easily handle it.
Seeing that Huo Ling truly had no intention of becoming the head of the Huo family, Huo Xiangu had no choice but to give up the idea.
With Cheng Feng around, she wouldn't interfere too much with any of Huo Ling's choices.
After chatting about everyday matters, Huo Xiangu's expression became serious.
She looked at Cheng Feng and said:
"Xiao Feng, the matter of Wu Sansheng joining forces with several factions to explore the second-best tomb in the world has caused quite a stir."
What are your plans for the Unloading Ridge faction?
When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Feng put down his teacup.
“I agreed to participate in this project from the very beginning. Not only me, but Xiaoling and Wenjin will also go together.”
