After she finished speaking, the girl asked carefully, “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
They only found out recently that Zhongli Xue grew up abroad and had specifically returned to participate in the program.
Sure enough, Zhongli Xue paused for a moment.
Then, she said in an extremely soft voice, “I understand.” She nodded her head gratefully. “Thank you.”
After saying this, she did not linger any longer and left.
Due to her unique style, the girls did not think much of her reaction.
Zhongli Xue was probably one of those beautiful and capable girls who did not make others feel disgusted, even when she was a little arrogant.
…
Huo Tian walked outside and made a transatlantic call.
The first time, she was mercilessly hung up.
The second time, it rang for a few minutes before someone finally answered.
On the other end of the phone, a woman’s impatient voice sounded. “Hello, this is Monica.”
Huo Tian paused for a moment and gently gripped her phone tightly. The spot where the soup had splashed on her face was still hurting a little.
She was silent for a moment before softly calling out, “Cousin, it’s me.”
Monica was Dai Shiqing’s English name.
Dai Shiqing was clearly stunned and her tone was suspicious. “Tian Tian? Why is it you? This number is from China! Have you returned to China?”
“Yes.”
“Then…” Dai Shiqing’s tone was slightly hurried as she asked, “Then are you staying at Huo Manor? I heard that Mr. Huo is engaged to that woman? Is that true?”
“Yes.” Huo Tian pursed her lips.
Dai Shiqing quickly said, “Tiantian, listen to me! You must not let them get together! I like Mr. Huo so much. That woman doesn’t know anything and has a bad temper. If she really becomes the lady of Huo Manor, then there’ll be no place for you.”
In the past, when she heard these words, Huo Tian would definitely join forces with Dai Shiqing to fight against Song Yaoyao.
But now, after the incident she experienced, she hesitated.
Song Yaoyao… Was she really that bad even though her mouth was quite vicious?
“I’m already experiencing that,” Huo Tian said. “Uncle won’t let me into Huo Manor.”
Dai Shiqing was surprised. Her words were filled with anger. “I knew it! It must be that woman who instigated it! Huo Manor is also your home, and now you can’t even go home?”
Huo Tian listened quietly and suddenly felt annoyed.
She had heard too many such words. Now that she thought about it carefully, what Dai Shiqing had instilled in her was actually all negative energy! This also caused her to become more and more unpredictable.
At this time, her mother’s words flashed through her mind again.
“I’m warning you, don’t ever contact Dai Shiqing again! She’s using you, do you know that? You silly child!”
Huo Tian suddenly asked after she finished, “Cousin, why didn’t you ask me why I came back to the country? Since I’m not allowed to stay at Huo Manor, why aren’t you asking where I’m staying now?”
Also, why didn’t she ask who she had returned to the country with and whether she had encountered any danger, etc?
She didn’t ask any of this.
In fact, Dai Shiqing’s next reaction destroyed Huo Tian’s last glimmer of hope for her.
A low chuckle came from the receiver. Dai Shiqing’s gentle voice carried a hint of amusement as if she was coaxing a child.
“Your family has quite a number of residences in the country and you’ve never lacked money. I don’t need to worry about this. Oh right, you should make a trip to Huo Manor when you find the opportunity. Your Uncle has watched you grow up, so he wouldn’t really reject you. You…”
