Chapter 522: Huo Jinyan Blows His Cover

Huo Jinyan’s daughter was only interested in school. If she learned that there were bodyguards following her, she might get startled, so he decided not to probe her further.

Huo Jinyan cleared his throat and changed the subject. “Did the ad shooting go well?”

“It was okay. It will be finished after they take a few more pictures.” Huo Yao held the glass with her long slender fingers. They were beautiful and appeared like a piece of art.

Since she did not look at social media, she was unaware that videos of her and her fourth older brother shooting the advertisement had gone viral and become a huge hit.

Huo Yao glanced around the living room and asked her. “Isn’t Brother Xiang home yet?”

“Nope,” said Huo Jinyan in clear disdain the moment she brought him up. He would rather that his son never come home.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Her phone rang in her pocket. She set the glass down on the table and pulled it out to check.

It was a notification from the bank.

Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. She did not think that Old Mr. Pei’s patient would send the consultation fees so quickly. She had reckoned that they would do it in a couple of days.

Huo Yao put her phone away in a good mood. “Dad, what are we having for dinner? Oh yes, where’s Mom?”

“Your mother has gone out with her friends. Tell me what you want for dinner. I will tell the restaurant... I will order take out.” Huo Jinyan swallowed the words ‘restaurant manager’.

Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at her father. “Why don’t we get something from our restaurant? The food tastes pretty good.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Jinyan instinctively asked her. “Which one of our restaurants do you like?”

Which one of their restaurants?

It seemed their family owned more than one dining establishment.

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously.

Huo Jinyan’s heart leapt when he made eye contact with his daughter. He instantly realized that he had blown his cover. He turned his head awkwardly before turning to ask her. “How did you know we own restaurants?”

He recalled having concealed this well and had never brought up their family restaurants!

What went wrong?

“After Brother Tingrui went for his matchmaking session, we went to a members-only high-end restaurant.” Huo Yao ratted out her older brother without hesitation.

A murderous aura rose from Huo Jinyan the moment he heard about this.

Huo Jinyan smirked in his heart. He had been wondering why his stupid son had not come home in such a long time. Huo Tingrui must have been staying at his own place because he was guilty of spilling out the secret.

Meanwhile, Huo Tingrui was having a meeting with his client when he suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his itchy nose. Why did he have a feeling that someone was scolding him behind his back?

Two days later at the Pei residence.

Pei Rong went over to the guest room first thing in the morning. He took Fang Chen’s pulse and examined him.

“Young Master Pei, how is he?” asked Lin Shuwen hurriedly when Pei Rong removed his hand from Fang Chen’s wrist.

Pei Rong had been feeling worried for the past two days. He did not expect that a common mild tonic would be capable of treating Fang Chen.

After he had checked the patient’s pulse, he found that it was stable. Also, Fang Chen had stopped losing weight after taking the medication for two days. That meant Fang Chen’s illness was now under control.

Pei Rong stood up from the chair. He pursed his lips and said unhurriedly, “His condition has stabilized.”

Lin Shuwen looked excited. “Does that mean he will recover soon if we keep taking your meds?”

Pei Rong looked down slightly when he heard what Lin Shuwen said.
