āItās a secret, I canāt show it to you guys. But I can say with confidence thatā¦ Little Sister Mianās present is my favorite,ā Huo Siqian said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jianiās expression changedā¦ then, she looked at Huo Zhenghai, and the two of them exchanged glances.
After dinnerā¦
Huo Mian was eating fruit on the couchā¦
āIāll ask the driver to take you home later,ā Huo Zhenghai said; he didnāt know that Huo Mian was staying.
āItās fine, Dad, Mian is staying here tonight,ā Huo Siqian quickly interjected.
āHere?ā
Everyone was surprisedā¦
Huo Mian never even wanted to come here, let alone stay overnight. So why was she staying?
āYeah, Iām a little tired today after work, so I thought Iād stay here,ā Huo Mian explained calmly.
āYouāre not going home? Is Qin Chu okay with that?ā Huo Zhenghai was still in disbelief.
āDadā¦ my brother-in-law isnāt at home. You heard about the accident at GKās branch company, right?ā Huo Siqian reminded him.
Huo Zhenghai slapped his forehead upon hearing that, āOh, right, I remember now. The older I get, the more confused I becomeā¦ Mian, howās the situation over there?ā
āThereās still some aftermath to take care of, and Qin Chuās still working on it.ā
āOh, okay, donāt worry about it. Weāre family, so just tell me or your brother if you need anything. Weāll help you to the best of our abilities.ā
Huo Zhenghaiās remarks were so fake that Huo Mian felt like pukingā¦
She thought back at how he attempted to demolish the old house and threaten her mother; Huo Mian felt like slapping this old man across the face.
He was such a hypocrite and petty manā¦
But still, she couldnāt show her disdainā¦
In the end, Huo Mian chose to obediently nod her head. āI got it.ā
After dinner, they chit chatted for a little while longer before each going their own wayā¦
Huo Zhenghai enjoyed reading and practicing calligraphy in his studyā¦
Jiang Hong was a Buddhist, so she spent most of her time reading scriptures in the mansionās temple.
Shen Jiani, on the other hand, was a health nut, so she enjoyed walking around in the garden and trimming the greeneries around their establishment.
As for Huo Siyi, he frequented nightclubs. After dinner, he immediately left, unwilling to stay another minute.
Before leaving, he told the others that his friendās birthday was today, and he wasnāt coming home until later, so they didnāt have to wait for him.
Huo Mian sneered in her head, how were they going to help someone like him stand on his own two feet?
Even if he had three top-level aids with great wisdom and resource, he was still no match for Huo Siqian.
Huo Siqian could play someone like Huo Siyi dead any time he wanted. If they lived in one of those dynasty kingdom dramas, Huo Siyi wouldnāt make it past episode 2.
Huo Mian wondered how someone like Huo Zhenghai and Shen Jiani could give birth to an idiot like him that caused their family nothing but trouble.
āYoung Master, Miss Mianās room is ready.ā A maid walked up to them.
āOkay then, Mian, come up with me.ā Huo Siqian put one hand in his pocket and went upstairs.
Huo Mian quietly followed behind himā¦
She was worried about Qin Chu but couldnāt call him in front of everyone else. She was distracted and didnāt even notice when Huo Siqian stopped in his tracksā¦
With a ābangā, her entire body crashed into Huo Siqianāsā¦
Then, it bounced backā¦
They were still on the stairs, so her body arched backā¦
Huo Mian was terrifiedā¦
āBe careful.ā Thank goodness Huo Siqian pulled on her arm just in time.
āThat was close.ā Huo Mian was still recovering from the scare after she stood up.
āWhat were you thinking about? Didnāt you hear what I said?ā Huo Siqian looked at her and laughed.
Huo Mian remained silentā¦
āAre you thinking about how to make up for my birthday present?ā
āYou canāt blame me, you never told me it was your birthday,ā Huo Mian said righteously.
āWhat if I said that I wanted one now, is it too late?ā Huo Siqian put away his laughter and looked at Huo Mian in all seriousness.
āDo you want me to go out and buy you a present?ā Huo Mian was confused.
āNoā¦ you already have something I want,ā Huo Siqian stared at her and said, word for word.
