Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Why Are The Huos Such Weirdos
Huo Qingyuan followed behind Yan Jinyi sheepishly.
“Second Sister-in-law, I stayed at Anna’s place last night, and I really didn’t create trouble today, it was Zhao Xinyue who went too far. Second Sister-in-law, you didn’t see how badly that girl was bullied.”
“I know.”
She was not an unreasonable person, and indeed Huo Qingyuan was not at fault for what happened this time.
However…
‘She’s been my sister-in-law for so long, why hasn’t she progressed at all? Doesn’t she know that if she can’t beat her, she could have just called the police?’
Yan Jinyi walked towards the black car at the entrance of the school, pulled open the door of the backseat, and got inside.
Huo Qingyuan thought about it and decisively chose to sit in the passenger’s seat.
As soon as she sat down and was about to turn around and complain to Yan Jinyi about Zhao Xinyue, she saw Huo Xishen who was seated behind.
Huo Qingyuan shivered and exclaimed in shock, “Second Brother, what are you doing here!?!”
Huo Xishen was reading a document and after hearing what she said, he glanced at Huo Qingyuan nonchalantly, “This is my car.
“…”
‘How did I forget to look at the license plate number just now? Second Sister-in-law alone is enough to keep me on tenterhooks and now I have to face Second Brother too…’
She started sobbing…
‘Is it too late to jump out of the car?’
“Second Brother, are you done with handling your business overseas? I heard Uncle Zhang say that you’ll be back only after the new year, why have you come home so many days in advance?”
Huo Qingyuan asked the obvious.
“Why? Can’t I come home?”
Huo Qingyuan shook her head vigorously and answered, “Of course you can! The person who is the happiest about your return is definitely Second Sister-in-law!”
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Huo Qingyuan. ‘What does it have to do with me?’
“I heard that the school called our family up because you were being helpful.”
Huo Xishen placed one hand over the other on his knees and questioned in a low voice.
“I just simply couldn’t stand seeing Zhao Xinyue bullying someone. Second Brother I was really saving the victim, I swear! I’ve turned over a new leaf!”
Huo Xishen had never paid too much attention to Huo Qingyuan’s academic problems.
It could be said that he habitually made it a point to complete his own responsibilities and didn’t show any concern for his family’s affairs.
He was the helmsman of the Huo Group, and although he was Huo Chengyu’s younger brother, he had more authority than him.
Huo Xishen and Huo Chengyu rarely went home while Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan stayed in Shenyang all year round.
‘When did I start paying so much attention to my family?’
Huo Xishen looked to the side and saw Yan Jinyi.
‘Am I just curious about her behavior and demeanor ever since the first time I heard rumors about her? Or is it because Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan talk about her all the time?’
Yan Jinyi did not know what Huo Xishen was thinking about at this point. Her main concern was that Huo Qingyuan was really too weak.
She was initially planning to recruit Huo Qingyuan as a member of Black Cloud Fortress in the future and earn some money…
Yan Jinyi was a little hesitant now.
As soon as the car pulled over, Huo Zihang strutted out of the house, clad in slippers and biting onto an apple.
“I heard that the school has called us up because of Huo Qingyuan again! Second Brother, you have to discipline her, this is the second time this has happened!”
‘You dog, Third Brother, you’re smearing me again! Second Sister-in-law just gave me a bag of potato chips that day, what’s the big deal?’
“Second Brother, Third Brother has been getting involved with women out there and he knocked someone up. That woman got angry at Second Sister-in-law because Third Brother refused to acknowledge the baby she’s carrying and Second Sister-in-law got into deep trouble because of her. Second Brother, you must teach him a lesson!”
Huo Zihang nearly jumped to his feet and he retorted, “Nonsense! I was maligned and that woman was purely out to cheat me!”
“How can anyone try to con you if you didn’t go out and mess around?”
“Huo Qingyuan, are you itching for a beating?”
Yan Jinyi rubbed her ears and asked, “Why are the Huos such oddballs?”
