Chapter 176: Huo Xuan’s Reprimand

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking into Huo Siyu’s smiling eyes, Huo Sisi felt a chill down her spine.

What did she mean by… going easy on her?

Did Huo Siyu fall for it on purpose?

But why?

Huo Lin remained silent.

No one knew what he was thinking.

“I-if Rainy insists on thinking that I did it, fine, I’ll admit it then. I only hope that you can have a happy relationship with Dad and Mom. All these years that you were missing, Dad and Mom had really missed you. In order to find you, Dad even handed the Huo Corporation to Brother to take over. Dad and Mom only want to find you.”

“Because they missed you, Dad and Mom specially went to the orphanage to adopt me, who’s about the same age as you and looks a little similar to you. If you really don’t like me, I can move out of the Huo Family tomorrow. I won’t be an eyesore to you.”

“Sisi, what nonsense are you talking about! You’re the daughter of the Huo Family. Why are you moving out? Just stay at home!”

It had to be said that Huo Sisi’s “techniques” were too high-level. Sun Xiangxiang was convinced by her again.

After all, she had raised her for so many years and Huo Sisi was good at coaxing people.

“Rainy, don’t think that your sister… Just because Sisi has a good temper… It’s not that Mom doesn’t trust you, but you have to have evidence. It’s irresponsible to say something without evidence.”

“Jinyu is still here. Don’t let her see you as a joke.”

Sun Xiangxiang didn’t give Huo Siyu a chance to reply. She quickly said, “It’s so cold outside. Let Jinyu enter the house first. I’ve already gotten someone to prepare Jinyu’s room. It’s right beside your room. Bring Jinyu to put the luggage away first. We’ll sit down and talk later.”

“Little Rain,” Yan Jinyu said slowly.

She interrupted at the right time.

That’s right, she deliberately didn’t interrupt them earlier.

Little Rain needed such an outburst. Otherwise, her relationship with the Huo Family would never improve.

Huo Siyu looked at her. “Beauty Yu…”

As killers and top killers furthermore, they knew very well that tears were the most useless thing. Therefore, they usually would not cry.

There were no tears in Huo Siyu’s eyes now, but it made Yan Jinyu’s heart clench.

Especially when she called out “Beauty Yu” in such a slightly aggrieved tone.

Yan Jinyu walked over and patted her shoulder. “Bring me to my room.”

“What’s there to feel aggrieved about? Won’t I always be on your side?”

“So what if you don’t have evidence? If others don’t believe you, I will.”

Huo Sisi was quite capable. She did things so cleanly that even Huo Xuan couldn’t find anything on her. If Huo Xuan couldn’t find anything, Little Rain might not be able to find anything even if she went to investigate.

Huo Siyu looked at her and suddenly grinned. “Beauty Yu, can I hug you?”

Yan Jinyu stared at her with wide eyes.

Huo Siyu chuckled and pounced over to hug her. “Beauty Yu, you’re the best. Otherwise, I won’t stay in the Huo Family. I’ll go with you. You’ll take care of me.”

“…Yin Jiujin supports me. How dare you let me use his money to support you?” Nonsense. It wasn’t like she was still young. Why was she still acting coyly?

That’s right. When she was young, Huo Siyu liked to act coyly. She would either do it to Yan Jinyu or Xi Fengling.

Huo Siyu froze. That super jealous freak Yin Jiujin?

Forget it.

She let go of Yan Jinyu. “I was just joking. Let’s go. I’ll bring you upstairs to look at your room.”

As she spoke, Huo Siyu dragged Yan Jinyu’s luggage by herself. She didn’t let the servants take it, nor did she care about Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang, who had complicated expressions on their faces. She led Yan Jinyu upstairs.

The two of them had just taken a few steps when they heard someone call out “Young Master”.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu stopped in their tracks and turned back.

Huo Xuan didn’t look at anyone else. His gaze landed on Yan Jinyu’s face and he glanced at her before his attention landed on Huo Siyu. “Rainy, what’s wrong?”

Huo Siyu smiled, but it was a forced smile. “It’s nothing. I’ll bring my friend upstairs to put her luggage first.”

After thinking about it, Huo Siyu still introduced her, “Beauty Yu, this is my brother, Huo Xuan.” Then, she introduced her to Huo Xuan, “Brother, this is my friend, Yan Jinyu. She’s the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City. I’ve mentioned her to you before. She’s my good friend now.”

Huo Xuan turned his gaze to Yan Jinyu, his expression ambiguous. “Eldest Miss Yan, I’ve long heard of your name.”

Yan Jinyu smiled, “Young Master Huo, you’re too kind.”

After that, she didn’t have much interaction with Huo Xuan anymore. Yan Jinyu turned around and followed Huo Siyu into the house and upstairs.

Huo Xuan looked at their backs as they walked into the house. He retracted his gaze and covered his mouth as usual to cough lightly for a moment before turning his gaze to them under Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang’s worried gazes. “Dad, Mom, what happened?” There was a sinister aura in his cold demeanor.

Before they could reply, he said, “I heard the commotion the moment I got out of the car. Rainy has such a gentle temper. Why would she be so angry?”

As he spoke, he swept a glance at Huo Sisi. “Also, what was it about the scheme at the banquet that Rainy mentioned a year ago?”

Huo Sisi was shocked when she met his cold and sinister gaze. “B-Brother, I-I don’t know either. Rainy just suddenly said that I had something to do with her getting drugged a year ago. How could it have anything to with me? Didn’t you personally investigate and punish the culprit?”

“I’ve always felt that Rainy doesn’t like me. I thought that I was wrong. Now, it seems like it’s true.”

“Speaking of which, it’s only right that Rainy doesn’t like me. After all, I was the one who took everything that should have belonged to her all these years while she led a wandering life.”

“I think Rainy is also young. Someone could have instigated her behind my back, coupled with the fact that she doesn’t like me to begin with, maybe…”

“I’m not saying that Rainy is deliberately targeting me with false accusations. I’m saying that Rainy is young and probably doesn’t have a strong sense of right and wrong. She will believe whatever others say.”

“There’s also the matter of Rainy going to school. I thought that she might not be used to the teaching style in the country and didn’t want to go to school after living overseas for so many years, so I mentioned it to Dad and Mom so that they could talk about her when they had the time. After all, she’s alone in the capital. If no one is keeping her in line, I’m afraid she’ll waste her studies.”

“I didn’t know that Rainy’s results were so good either. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said those words to Dad and Mom. This is my fault. I should have found out the reason before this.”

“However, Rainy has some responsibilities too. If she had mentioned a little of it to the family, we wouldn’t have—”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s all my fault after all. If Rainy really doesn’t like me, I’ll move out of the Huo Family tomorrow so that she doesn’t get into trouble with Dad and Mom…”

“Oh, then remember to move out tomorrow. Pack your things and don’t leave anything behind. That way, you won’t have to come to the Huo Family again.”

Huo Xuan’s sudden interruption and his words had successfully made Huo Sisi’s face turn pale.

She looked up at him in shock.

Then, Huo Sisi met Huo Xuan’s slightly evil sneer and she hurriedly lowered her head in panic.

“You even dare to drive a wedge between us in front of me. You’re getting bolder. I won’t interfere with what happened to you in the past. After all, Mom and Dad seem to have been brainwashed by you. It doesn’t matter if the Huo Family has to support your living expenses.”

“You seem to be putting in a good word for Rainy, but you’re defaming her both openly and secretly. That’s fine, but you actually want to defame Rainy’s friend. Do you wish that Rainy can’t even have a friend? Why don’t you take a look at who Yan Jinyu is? She’s someone that even Yin Jiujin cares about. You actually dare to say that she instigated Rainy behind her back. I wonder who gave you the courage to do so.”

“Do you think you can go against Yin Jiujin just because I dare to go against him? He would crush you to death like he’s just crushing an ant to death. If you don’t believe me, try to provoke Yan Jinyu. Let’s see if you have enough life to survive.”

There was one more thing he didn’t say. Even he couldn’t find out Yan Jinyu’s background.

She was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Just now, he saw from afar that Yan Jinyu and Rainy’s relationship wasn’t as simple as just being good friends.

This matter…

He might have to spend more effort investigating…

Forget it, it was better not to investigate. When he had the chance, he would ask Rainy. Otherwise, Rainy was already not close to him to begin with. If he continued to investigate, Rainy would probably become even more distant from him.

He had been sleeping in the company for the past two weeks. He would probably be busy until the end of the year because of the trouble Yin Jiujin had caused him. He had rushed back to meet Yan Jinyu when he heard that she had come to the Huo Family. He didn’t expect to encounter such a thing!

“You’d better not let me find out that you were involved in Rainy being drugged at the Huo Family’s banquet a year ago. Otherwise, you’ll definitely die a horrible death!”

Huo Xuan said too much in one breath. His face turned pale and he coughed heavily for a long time.

Huo Ning, his assistant, quickly came forward and handed him the medicine and water.

Huo Xuan didn’t take it. He waved his hand and Huo Ning retreated again. There was still worry on his face.

Although Huo Xuan’s face was pale, his aura didn’t decrease at all.

Not only was Huo Sisi so frightened that her face was drained of all color, even Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang were shocked that they were in a daze.
