Everyone knew that the famous Mr. Huo was powerful and mighty. He could cause economic turmoil with just a stomp of his feet, and his businesses were spread all over the world. He had long jumped out of the so-called rich and powerful circle and was a true noble.
But because of this, he was so godly that everyone forgot he wasnât a real god; that he could grow old, get sick, and die.
Heart acheâ¦
What a touching and gentle term.
â¦
All the way until 8 in the morning, the two people who were supposed to appear did not appear.
Grandfather Huo knocked on the table. Ignoring the different expressions on everyoneâs faces, he said calmly, âLetâs eat.â
He took the lead to pick up his chopsticks. The others only dared to move when they saw him move.
The dining room was silent. These people had excellent manners. There was not even the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing.
The more they acted like this, the more depressed they became.
Dai Shiqing hesitated for a moment and asked softly, âDonât you need to ask Mr. Huo to come down for breakfast? Itâs not good for his stomach if he doesnât eat breakfast.â
As soon as she said this, Gu Fenlan furrowed her brows and glanced at her.
At this moment, Grandfather Huo also raised his eyebrows. His expression was gentle and kind.
However, what he said didnât make anyone feel the slightest warmth. âThen Iâll have to trouble Miss Dai to call for him.â
Hearing this, Gu Fenlan stole a glance at Grandfather Huo with a strange expression. Her instincts told her that this was definitely not a good thing.
Moreover, Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao had not been around in the morning. They were all experienced people; who wouldnât know what had happened? Gu Fenlan grabbed Dai Shiqing and forced a smile. âThereâs no need for that. Yunque usually works so hard, and itâs not easy for him to have a day off. Letâs not disturb him. Let him sleep.â
As she said this, she pulled Dai Shiqingâs hand slightly harder, and her nails dug into her flesh.
Dai Shiqing groaned in pain. She pursed her lips and met Gu Fenlanâs frighteningly cold warning gaze.
âHaha!â Grandfather Huo laughed. âYouâre the only one who knows how to dote on others. Come, letâs eat.â
These words were clearly slapping Dai Shiqingâs face.
It was as if they were silently telling everyone how self-indulgent Dai Shiqing was.
âOh, right.â Grandfather Huo narrowed his eyes as he forced a smile. âIf thereâs anything you donât like, just say it. These are all things that Yaoyao likes to eat. They might not be to your taste.â
His words did not hide his love for Song Yaoyao at all.
Dai Shiqing pursed her lips. âGrandfather, you donât have to be so polite. The Huo Familyâs chefs are all very good. I canât even eat such delicious food outside!â
Huo Zexi rolled his eyes. The Huo familyâs chefs were indeed one-of-a-kind, but to say that they could not eat delicious food outside was a little forceful.
âEat more if itâs delicious. Youâre leaving today. Before you leave, you can tell the kitchen what you want to eat and ask them to make you a meal that you like.â
âPfffâ¦â Huo Zexiâs shoulders shook violently. It was very hard for him to hold in his laughter.
How was Dai Shiqing so shameless? Couldnât she see that no one in the Huo Family welcomed her? How did she have the confidence that she could take over the family?
Dai Shiqing closed her eyes. Her hand was about to bleed from Gu Fenlanâs grip.
She smiled. âYes, thank you, Grandfather.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After that, she did not say anything else.
After the meal, Gu Fenlan immediately pulled Dai Shiqing away. As soon as they were out of everyoneâs sight, she raised her hand and gave her a slap.
A crisp slap reverberated through the corner of the corridor.
After getting slapped, Dai Shiqing covered her face and turned her head. âAuntie?â
