Chapter 1250 Did you see your Uncle Huo's girlfriend?
"Manman! Why did you come with Huo Yanchen?"
Sure enough, that's what my father asked.
Jiang Manman's face also stiffened. She said, "We met on the way."
"Really? Did you see your Uncle Huo's girlfriend?" Jiang's father asked through gritted teeth.
His eyes looked like he wanted to stab Huo Yanchen.
He would absolutely not agree to this marriage.
Jiang Manman: "..."
Jiang Manman was momentarily at a loss for words: "You...you saw me, didn't you?"
She is Huo Yanchen's girlfriend, so you've met her, right?
Jiang's father sneered and looked at Huo Yanchen: "Why is Mr. Huo spending time with my daughter instead of his girlfriend?"
Jiang's father's gaze towards Huo Yanchen was not so friendly. If he could, he would want Huo Yanchen to stay as far away from Manman as possible!
He could see that Jiang Manman's lips were slightly swollen. Huo Yanchen was utterly despicable; how could he do such a thing!
Manman has called him uncle for so long, how could an uncle do such a thing!
Huo Yanchen said, "We just had a brief meeting, and there are still many things we haven't talked about, so I came here specifically to see you."
In contrast, Huo Yanchen remained remarkably calm.
"It's too late now, there's nothing to talk about. Manman, you'll stay with us tonight, let's go back and rest now." Jiang's father pulled Jiang Manman along, determined not to give her and Huo Yanchen any time alone.
Huo Yanchen is a beast. He's old and still has wild ideas. He doesn't even know how old he is, yet he still tries to harm his daughter.
If he weren't outmatched, he would have gone up and given Huo Yanchen a couple of blows.
Jiang Manman was pulled away by her father. She felt that her father seemed particularly angry. Could it be that he knew something?
Jiang Manman said, "Dad, why were you so mean to Uncle Huo today? You two usually get along so well, what's wrong with you?"
"Really?" Jiang's father cleared his throat. "No, I don't think so, Brother Yanchen. You should go find your girlfriend. Let's have some time alone as a family."
Jiang's father emphasized the words "family" and "alone" to remind Huo Yanchen that they were the real family, and Huo Yanchen was nothing.
"Dad, I still want to watch the fireworks. If you want to rest, you and Mom should get some rest early. Sister Yuanyuan should have arranged rooms for you, right? Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
She wanted to enjoy the fireworks with Huo Yanchen; if her father took her away, how would she watch them?
"What's so great about fireworks? But if you like them, your mom and I will watch them with you, and the three of us can watch together!"
Jiang's father deliberately added more weight to the family of three, but did not include Huo Yanchen.
Jiang Manman looked at Huo Yanchen, unsure how to persuade her father to leave.
She's just started dating Huo Yanchen, and the novelty hasn't worn off yet; she wants to go on a date with him.
Huo Yanchen said, "Manman is not a child anymore. There are so many people here, she won't get lost. Adults should learn to let go and let children play on their own."
Jiang's father was now filled with rage. Not only had Huo Yanchen abducted his daughter, but now he was even complaining that he was a third wheel.
Jiang's father said, "That's true. Manman, go play by yourself. It's not appropriate for us adults to follow you. Why don't you come with me, Brother Yanchen? It's been a long time since we brothers have seen each other. Let's catch up!"
As he spoke, Jiang's father reached out and put his hand on Huo Yanchen's shoulder, acting like they were good buddies.
In the past, Jiang's father would have been very polite to Huo Yanchen, and would never have been so bold as he is now.
Now that his daughter is almost with this guy, and she's always protecting Huo Yanchen, is he, as her father, just going to stand by and watch?
"Dad, Huo Yanchen has his own things to do. When is it not okay for you to catch up with him?" Jiang Manman said anxiously from the side.
Huo Yanchen naturally understood what Jiang's father meant. He said, "Manman, go and have fun. I'll catch up with my older brother."
Anyway, I'll have to get through this sooner or later, so I might as well make things clear to him sooner so I can be with Jiang Manman openly and honestly.
"I..." Jiang Manman was worried that her father might make things difficult for Huo Yanchen. What if Huo Yanchen offended her father with his temper?
Besides, aren't these two always catching up? What's there to catch up on now?
Huo Yanchen said to Jiang Manman, "Go have fun, go with your sister-in-law."
Jiang Manman thought for a moment. Huo Yanchen was a very sensible person, so she nodded.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Manman went to watch the fireworks together, but Jiang Manman seemed a little absent-minded. Jiang's father and Huo Yanchen stayed where they were and walked a little further away.
Without Jiang Manman around, Jiang's father stopped pretending.
"Huo Yanchen, what do you mean?"
"what happened?"
"Tell me what happened? What did you promise me before, and what are you doing now?"
Jiang's father continued to berate, "Why did you have to target my daughter of all people? Don't you know what Manman means to me? She's my only daughter. You clearly said before that you wouldn't be with Manman. If I hadn't seen this, were you planning to lure her into bed?"
"Manman is so young, and you are so old. Doesn't she understand, and you don't understand either? I don't ask my daughter to be rich and powerful. I just hope she can live a peaceful life. I will never agree to you two being together. Huo Yanchen, I know I can't afford to offend you, but this is not negotiable. For my daughter, even if the Jiang Group goes bankrupt, I will protect her!"
Jiang's father was truly furious. He was an experienced man who had seen too many people and knew how dangerous Huo Yanchen was.
His abilities are beyond question, but working with someone like that is really too exhausting.
Perhaps he likes Manman now, likes her youth and beauty, likes her cheerful and interesting personality, but true feelings are truly ever-changing.
When I love you, I'll give you anything; when I don't love you, you're worthless.
The divorce rate in this world is already high enough. Huo Yanchen seems very unreliable. When he was having the most fun a few years ago, he had countless girlfriends, many of whom lasted less than a month. So, where would you find genuine affection from someone like Huo Yanchen?
His daughter was loyal and devoted, and from then on, she could only watch Huo Yanchen cheat on her, watch him be with other women, and silently hide away and cry alone.
Such things happen far too often in wealthy families. Another friend's daughter married another playboy six months ago because she liked him. She thought he would change his ways, but less than six months later, his illegitimate child was born. She cried all day long and refused to get a divorce. She even wanted to help raise his illegitimate child, which infuriated her friend.
