Would his uncle punish him for this?
What were these people thinking? Was his uncle a devil in their eyes?
âOh?â
Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows. He leaned elegantly and lazily on the sofa, casually playing with a strand of Song Yaoyaoâs black hair.
âThe Dai Family? Thatâs interestingâ¦â
He curled his thin lips but he did not smile. He looked cold and stern.
âWhen did an outsider get the chance to butt in on the Huo familyâs business, huh?â
Gu Fenlan was about to faint. She kept winking at her husband, telling him to think of a solution.
However, Huo Yunyiâs legs went weak the moment he saw his younger brother, let alone trying to talk to him.
He lowered his head and pretended not to have seen or heard anything.
Gu Fenlan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she had known earlier, she would not have come back this year! Their entire family relied on this direct descendent to survive. Yet, it was the new year, and she had offended someone.
Did this stupid girl know what she was talking about?!
âBrother Yunqueâ¦â Dai Shiqing was continuously slapped in the face. Even though she was a strong woman in public, she still felt a little embarrassed at this moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPfffâ¦â
A disdainful laugh came from the crowd, and the one who spoke was the boy with the rough voice, âCousin Dai, my uncle doesnât even know you, so you donât have to call him brother Yunque. My Small Auntie is sitting right there. Those that donât know would think that you want to steal him away from her!â
âThis child, how can you talk like that!â
Huo Zexiâs mother didnât know whether to laugh or cry as she tugged at him. âIf you dare to talk nonsense again, Iâll deduct your allowance for half a year!â
âMom! How can you do that?! What I said is the truth!âHuo Zexi complained unhappily.
âPfffâ¦â
Song Yaoyao smiled and bent down to put her cup down.
Huo Yunque saw it and took it from her hand. âStill want to drink?â
âNo.â
Song Yaoyao shook her head and looked at Huo Zexi. âItâs okay. Iâll pay for your pocket money.â
The girl was the same age as him, and her smile was bright and innocent. Huo Zexiâs heart pounded, and he quickly turned his head away.
âThank you, Small Auntie!â
âHey, you brat! How can you just accept anything?â
âWhy canât I? Auntie gave me pocket money!â
Huo Zexiâs parents looked at each other and smiled at the gentle and quiet girl.
âActually, I was just trying to scare him. This kid has a big mouth. If I donât teach him a lesson, heâll be a scourge to society in the future!â
âMom!â Huo Zexi glared at her. âHow am I a scourge? Iâm a rising star!â
âYou little brat, how dare you talk back to me!â
âI didnât do anything wrong!âHuo Zexi shouted.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Song Yaoyao played with Huo Yunqueâs fingers and spoke innocently, but Huo Tian and Dai Shiqingâs expressions changed immediately.
âDonât talk about him. I think he has a straightforward personality. I like his personality.â
Huo Zexiâs face turned red. He scratched his head and looked at his mother proudly. âSee?â
Huo Tian and Dai Shiqing stood at the side as if they were being ignored by everyone.
Seeing the girl sitting next to Huo Yunque acting like the hostess, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Her uncle was such an outstanding man. How could a young girl like her be a match for him? Even if he was looking for a wife, it would have to be a strong woman with outstanding skills like her Sister Qingqing!
