Huo Tian didnât understand why Song Yaoyao wanted to bring her to a social event, but she could see that every single one of the employees looked at Song Yaoyao with absolute admiration and trust.
A 20-year-old girl was leading a large group of employees. Among these people, there was no lack of people older than Song Yaoyao, but no one underestimated her because of her age.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was a side of her that Huo Tian had never seen before. Before this, Song Yaoyaoâs image in her heart was similar to that of a troublemaker.
Other than acting cute and seducing her uncle, she didnât do anything serious at all. Only now did she realize that everything was caused by her preconceived prejudice. Other than being with her uncle, Song Yaoyao also had her own business to run.
And she was very busy.
âWhat are you daydreaming about? Letâs go back.â Song Yayaoo stood by the roadside, the wind caressing her hair. Under the dusk, it was like a scene from a comic, so beautiful that it made oneâs heart palpitate.
âIâ¦â Being caught by Song Yaoyao, Huo Tianâs face was slightly hot, and she stuttered, not knowing how to explain. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang, and she let out a long sigh. âI, I need to take a call!â
She gripped her phone and looked at Song Yaoyao eagerly, waiting for her approval.
She probably didnât even notice that she was already used to listening to Song Yaoyaoâs words. In the past, this was something completely unimaginable.
âGo.â Song Yaoyao nodded.
Two minutes later, Huo Tian pursed her lips and walked back in silence.
Song Yaoyao bent down and got into the car. She turned her head to look out the window, but Huo Tian was still standing in place.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âI⦠Can I leave for a while? A friend is looking for me.â Huo Tian was a little nervous. Especially when she looked at Song Yaoyaoâs clear eyes, her heart beat even faster.
Song Yaoyao didnât say anything and just looked at her indifferently.
Huo Tian almost said, âForget about itâ¦â
âGo.â
But one word made Huo Tian heave a sigh of relief.
The car quickly left with Song Yaoyao in it. Huo Tian stood where she was and watched the car disappear into the traffic. When she thought of the phone call, she felt a little irritated. The joy and happiness she had before was gone.
In the car. âMiss Song, do you want to send someone to follow her?â Huo Si asked in a low voice.
Huo Si was born with a loud voice. But under Huo Jiuâs repeated warnings, he learned to control his voice a little.
âYou just need to speak normally.â Song Yaoyao shook her head. âThereâs no need. Sheâs neither my daughter nor a criminal. She has the freedom to choose where she wants to go.â
She did not like to meddle in other peopleâs business, even though Huo Tianâs expression did not look right.
âGet someone to pay attention. Just make sure nothing happens to her.â
Huo Si replied happily, thinking that he had to tell Huo Jiu later. Miss Song did not care about his loud voice at all. It seemed that he was not the only one who was not used to his suppressed voice; Song Yaoyao was not used to it either.
â¦
Huo Tian pushed open the door of the private room and walked in. The cold air blew into her face, making her shudder for some reason.
âTian Tian, youâre finally here. Iâve been waiting for you for a long time.â
Seeing her enter, the woman went up to her affectionately and gave her a hug. She gently patted her back, âWhy didnât you say anything and return to the country alone?â she scolded. âYou donât know how worried I was. Besides, your mother found out that you ran away from school. She called me, so I could only hide it for you and tell her that youâre with me.â
Huo Tianâs eyes flashed. âReally?â Why would she care about her?
Thatâs right, this person was Dai Shiqing.
She was wearing a simple white dress with a wide hem. There were some folds around her waist, which made her waist even more slender and feminine.
âThatâs right, Tian Tian. Whatâs wrong with you? Did I do something wrong and offend our Young Miss?â Dai Shiqing smiled lightly as she held Huo Tian and sat down. âIf thereâs anything that I didnât notice, just say it. Iâve watched you grow up. You donât want our relationship to be estranged, right?â
Huo Tian nodded.
Dai Shiqing stuffed a gift into Huo Tianâs hands, âThis is the necklace that you took a fancy to before. Didnât your mother say that she wasnât willing to buy it for you? Here, Iâve been keeping an eye on it. As soon as it arrived, I immediately bought it for you. Look at you. You havenât been answering my calls during this period of time. Youâve been worrying me to death. As soon as I was done with work, I immediately flew back to China to look for you!â
âSo, youâre not angry anymore, right? I didnât do it on purpose.â
Dai Shiqing clasped her hands together and looked into Huo Tianâs eyes sincerely.
Huo Tian pursed her lips. âI know. Iâm not blaming you.â She was just very disappointed.
But for some reason, Huo Tian did not want to tell Dai Shiqing about this. She even felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have gone back with Song Yaoyao.
She had not applied any ice on her wound that night yet, and she did not know if her uncle was at home. Was Song Yaoyao going to let Brother Ningxi treat it for her?
Huo Tian fell into a trance as soon as she thought about this. Meanwhile, Dai Shiqingâs eyes flashed with emotion, and it disappeared in an instant.
âSo, tell me, how have you been in China recently? I just found out that youâve participated in a program. What happened?â She showed just the right amount of concern and waited quietly for Huo Tianâs answer.
At the same time, some food and drinks were served. âHave something to eat?â
âIâve already eaten.â Huo Tian shook her head.
After that, Huo Tian realized that Dai Shiqing must have noticed that she didnât like her mentioning Huo Yunque all the time. She had been here for so long, and she hadnât even mentioned the Huos once. However, she started to ask about Song Yaoyao and her relationship with Song Yaoyao, whether intentionally or not.
Huo Tian lowered her eyes and looked at the lemon slices in her drink. She said calmly, ââ¦thatâs all.â
âReally?â Dai Shiqing was surprised and said as if she didnât mean it, âI thought she would sign you to her studio. By the way, she works in the entertainment industry, right?â
âHow do you know?â Huo Tian suddenly raised her head and looked at Dai Shiqing.
âIâ¦â Dai Shiqing smiled, âItâs easy to guess this kind of thing. Donât forget, I treat Song Yaoyao as my love rival. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle! Donât you know this? Tian Tian, I wonât harm you. Are you still blaming me for neglecting you when I was busy with work?â
Huo Tian frowned and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
She said, âCousin, have you ever thought about liking someone else? Iâve been back to the old residence the past two days and discovered that my uncle really doesnât have eyes for other women. Even I, in his eyes, canât compare to a single strand of Song Yaoyaoâs hair. Furthermore, theyâre already engaged. If you want to be together with my uncle, wonât that make you a mistress?â
âYouâ¦â
Dai Shiqingâs smile faded and she almost couldnât keep up her act. âTian Tian, whatâs wrong with you? Werenât you the one who supported me being with your uncle the most previously? Or did Song Yaoyao say something to you?â
