Chapter 858 - Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (30)

As expected, the moment Yu Bao’er reached home...

She had just opened the door, when she heard her father’s amiable voice, “How did it go? Did that rascal say anything after you returned his lighter?”

He had just finished speaking when he saw the tall and well-built man behind Yu Bao’er.

Their gazes met and everyone’s smiles froze on their faces.

Immediately, Yu Chengzhuang dazedly pointed a finger at Huo Yingcheng and asked, “Who is this?”

Yu Bao’er reminded him in a small voice, “Dad, this is the rascal you were referring to...”

At this time, Huo Yingcheng could still maintain a presentable smile. He greeted Yu Chengzhuang with a smile, “Uncle, how do you do?”

Yu Chengzhuang: “...”

Who’s your uncle? Shameless!

Perhaps every father would have a special intuition towards the pig who was looking to eat the white cabbage he painstakingly grew. Yu Chengzhuang’s first impression of this Huo Yingcheng was that he was an eyesore.

Yu Chengzhuang was also aware that his daughter had had boyfriends before, but she never brought one home before!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now she brought this home. What did that imply?

Spit!

He couldn’t bring himself to think about this scary truth.

In the living room, Miao Jiahe and Yu Kairan were both staring at Huo Yingcheng in shock.

Yu Kairan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he briskly jogged over. “Hey Brother, first time meeting you. Please give me your guidance. I’m Yu Bao’er’s older brother, Yu Kairan.”

Yu Bao’er couldn’t bear to look straight at Yu Kairan, who was behaving like a lackey.

Was there something wrong with this person?

Huo Yingcheng looked towards Yu Kairan in surprise and let out an awkward chuckle, before extending a hand to him.

Miao Jiahe got to her feet, and Huo Yingcheng seemed to sense that. “Hello, Auntie.”

“Hello, hello.”

Miao Jiahe didn’t stare fiercely and coldly at Huo Yingcheng like how Yu Chengzhuang did. Huo Yingcheng felt awkward by her stare.

Yu Bao’er had already given up.

A few steps into the house, Yu Chengzhuang pulled her aside.

“Aiyah, Dad?”

On the other hand, Miao Jiahe went up to size up Huo Yingcheng. “You’re the owner of that lighter my daughter accidentally took, aren’t you? Did she explain things clearly to you? Young fellow, if you don’t believe her, we can all explain to you. Our daughter is not the sort of person to take other people’s things at whim...”

“Um, she’s already explained it to me. It’s just a misunderstanding.”

This was Huo Yingcheng’s first time being surrounded and attacked like this. He helplessly answered her question.

“Good that it’s all cleared up. We were angry out of worry for this lass.”

There was a dagger hidden in Miao Jiahe’s smile. Yu Kairan raised a brow beside, thinking to himself that his mother sure had good techniques when it came to talking.

She was implying to Huo Yingcheng that it was him who misunderstood and that her daughter was aggrieved because of that.

Huo Yingcheng merely gave her a faint smile and said nothing.

Miao Jiahe creased her brows. What was the meaning of this? Was he truly unrelated to her daughter?

Meanwhile, with Miao Jiahe intercepting Huo Yingcheng, Yu Chengzhuang pulled his daughter into the room to interrogate her.

After closing the door, he pointed outside and started asking in a grave tone, “Bao’er, tell Daddy. What’s the relationship between you and that fierce man out there?”

Yu Bao’er said innocently, “Nothing. He just came to retrieve his stuff! I said I’ll treat him to lunch at noon, but I didn’t know where to make him wait, so I asked him to come to our house.”
